I feel like they need bagels in a later episode for the rule of 3rds to play out this joke’s life span 😌
Like if someone else says ‘you know what we need?’ And they both say ‘bagels’ together like idiots and they’re holding bagels, like idiots, I need the bagel idiot continuation lmao
Me going on a chaotic adhd rant about how I came with this idea on how to be a legendary robber and never get caught: “Ok so you get a kangaroo and you train it how to hold a gun, it doesn’t need to actually be able to fire it just hold it and point it at people, then in its other hand you have it hold a sign that says “give me all your money and put it in my pouch”, and unleash it in a bank or something. Honestly you might not even need to give it a gun, kangaroo’s are terrifying have you seen those videos of them stealing peoples dogs and trying to drown them!? People would instantly be intimidated and comply with the sign!! And the cops couldn’t even stop me like what are they going to do arrest a kangaroo?? It’s the perfect crime!”
Usopp's constant negativity and anxiety are something useful and "positive" at the end of the day (eg: fight against Perona) because he doesn't necessarily need to change his views, he just needs to trust himself and his abilities more and he just uses what he has at the moment which is, you know, negativity. It is not something positive but it does keep him safe from danger and he will end up being proud of himself and stronger than he could ever imagine, but that doesn't mean he'll stop being negative. It's just another personality trait a lot of people have, and Usopp using it for his advantage is something great, I feel. He takes pride in being like that. He's loud and shameless about it.
Unlike Sanji, who dwells on his negativity on his own. Quietly. And lets it consume him without having any power over it. His self-sabotaging and self-sacrificing behavior often comes from a place of giving up out of fear of others getting hurt to save him because that's pretty much his core fear. Being a burden/Not being able to save the people he cares about from himself and his past. It's not something the manga shows that much in comparison to Usopp's negativity, but Sanji's pessimistic views are pretty much one of the reasons why WCI happens and why he puts himself in the worst situation in Wano.
And I think (this is why I'm writing all of this) that they're perfect for each other because Usopp could show him that being afraid and negative isn't something so bad. After all, at least Usopp is aware that if he can't do something, the crew will help him out no matter what. Usopp's negative, yes, but it's alright because he doesn't go through it on his own. Even if he does look shameless and "selfish" when desperately asking for help (he isn't, by the way. It's actually pretty reasonable to act like that). Sanji needs to learn to ask for help shamelessly too and he needs to stop putting all the weight of the world's negativity on his shoulders. They need to carry it together.
Like- There's just something so personal in Usopp going "Yes! I am scared. Frightened even. Please, help!" because he might not like that part of him and he's trying to be stronger and more independent every day, but he acknowledges that things can go south and his reaction is very fight or flight but pretty mostly flight to be safe. While Sanji's response is always to fight because he refuses to let others know he needs help in case something happens to them (and also because he feels ashamed of feeling weak). Usopp shares the responsibility and accepts that he's kind of a loser sometimes but Sanji refuses to do so.
This is just a thought about Sanji learning that being a coward and asking for help isn't bad because they're meant to do stuff like that, and Usopp growing to be stronger and independent but not necessarily stop being pessimistic because sometimes you just... Are like that. Sometimes you're scared. Sometimes you have anxiety. And that's alright. You can be strong anyway.
be nice to it. it's the only one you have. maybe the only one you'll ever have. if it gets plenty of water and sunlight maybe it'll grow
