#i don't talk about that enough but depressed wet dog messy sanji is my beloved

Sanuso is a good ship because it has one of my favorite shipping dynamics*: Wildly different hair needs and hair care routines.

Usopp the kind of man who takes good care of his hair, he has his go to stuff and he makes sure to wrap it before bed and all in all he has really gorgeous hair. Also the type of guy who does in fact sometimes halfass his routine because he’s working on something and goes to bed at four am thinking “I really should do this before… uhggg tired” and just goes to sleep.

Vs Sanji, the kind of man who has a million products in his room. Modern Au Usopp stays the night for the first time and is intimidated by all of his boyfriend’s expensive products. Sanji still thinks it just looks “Alright”. A little bit self conscious because Usopo never seems to have bad hair days even on the days when it’s humid and his hair goes crazy poofy and out of control, while sometimes he wakes up and looks at himself in the mirror for an hour trying to get any semblance of volume into his hair before begrudgingly accepting today is going to be a “long haired dog who fell into a mud puddle” day for him

(Another good one is “Person who has a very extensive skincare regiment being jealous at their partner who has no skincare regiment”. Which fits for both Sanlu and Sanuso, because Usopp and Luffy both mange to somehow have the skin and complexion of an angel while Sanji is just… dry spot, eyebags, pale, no healthy glow, weird zit on the back of his neck he can’t reach etc. Luffy and Usopp both do not care tough they think he’s still radiant)

REAL REAL REAL!!!!! Usopp has the most gorgeous hair and he does have a routine but he's pretty careless sometimes with it because, meh, it's late and he looks good anyway so it isn't a problem. If his hair looks bad he'll just do a ponytail and go through the day like nothing happens because he still looks stunning somehow. Sanji absolutely loves his boyfriend's hair and he's obsessed with touching it and doing hairstyles on him and stuff, but he's jealous Usopp doesn't need half of what he needs to take care of his hair. Same with Sanlu, as you said. Luffy just looks gorgeous in such a pure, holy way. Like an angel no matter what. Which is fucking frustrating because Sanji has sooo many insecurities and he feels so ugly if he doesn't do his routine every day. He wakes up, he showers, he uses so so many hair products and body lotions, and he even wears make-up to cover the fact that he hasn't slept well for years. He needs to do a thousand things to feel pretty. It becomes a bit obsessive sometimes because when he can't do his routine, he starts to panic. He's more irritable on those days. A bit depressed. Usopp just needs to remind him that he literally looks the same to him and that he doesn't need anything to be gorgeous. Sanji won't listen to him, but yeah, at least he feels a bit better.
