When you think about it the stage of Sanuso not standing each other was very short because when the strawhats entered the grand line they were already pretty clingy to each other. So imo they pretty much started enjoying each other's company after the Arlong park arc
Yeah!!! I mean. I believe Sanji and Usopp didn't like each other at all at first because. Well. It's for obvious reasons. They might have similar experiences with their insecurities and trauma and way of coping, but that's hidden deep, deep down and they don't find out about that bit and their strengths until later. Without that, they're extremely different. Like, extremely.
And if the first thing a waiter in a restaurant does is flirt with the girl and treat all the others like shit, well, of course Usopp isn't going to like him. And if Sanji is trying to be polite and flirty to a gorgeous girl but some guy gets in between, of course he's not going to like Usopp. It's sort of that their personalities do not match at all at first, but then they see how they truly are and they start to get along.
The thing is-- They don't ever leave that dynamic fully, and I adore that. Despite getting along and being protective of each other, Sanji and Usopp still argue a lot over the stupidest things and they keep yelling at each other for stuff that doesn't matter because they're both morons and stubborn and I swear we don't talk enough about them constantly getting irritated by the other's shenanigans while also sacrificing their life for each other constantly. It makes their relationship so human, realistic, and genuine... It's one of the things I adore the most about this ship!

A lil Nightcrawler/Angel drabble
— • — • —
Warren sweeps his perfectly coiffed hair away from his beautiful blue eyes, smiling a bit at his own reflection as he makes sure he looks exactly as he’d like to.
A simple night out in Genosha— A few drinks, conversation, laughs. A loose, yet perfect plan.
Kurt stands behind him and to the side, already being ready to go himself. He smiles as he watches Warren spiff himself up, currently carding his fingers through his feathers for a moment.
“Y’know..” Kurt steps closer to Warren, smiling a bit, “I know you hear this all the time— It’s even in your name… But you’re so beautiful, you look angelic.”
Warren looks at Kurt through the mirror before turning to face him, both close now.
He smiles at the compliment, his eyes softening. “Somehow, it means more from you.”
Kurt smiles wider at Warren’s smile, his tail swishing behind him. He looks over Warren’s features, as if waiting for a joke. “And why’s that?”
Warren smiles— It’s fond, though it feels laced with a sense of melancholy.
“Because you actually believe in angels.”

Watched Ghost Game more or less ( and re-watching it again immediately with company ), and I didn't really like it.
I know it's just not for me, but somehow it still infuriates me that it came so close to being what I hoped to see from Digimon all these years - a proper horror/mystery setting, and then fell flat because it's still aimed more for kids.
God I WISH they went for a different art style and made it for a bit older audiences, so the horror element could be properly explored more.
The pacing and monster-of-the-week thing where each issue is resolved within a very short episode also just kills it for me, because some episodes have SUCH cool premises that could've worked much better if they were given a few more episodes per plot, to really give it some atmosphere and actual mystery-solving, or proper character development. The overall plot is also just a mess and feels like it barely existed, and IMO the main villain was just underutilized and just, eugh. I'm not even gonna say anything about the last episode lol.
The characters were also very flat and superficial, like it was hard to care about anything at all when the characters ( who are kids!!! ), are dealing with stuff like that, get tortured, cursed and god knows what else, and just don't have any reaction to it. Like come on, this really would've benefited from if we had them written better and more grounded, with more psychological stuff involved, too. Same goes for side characters.
Not to mention some very weird use of some Digimon, unresolved storylines, etc..
I liked some things about it - namely some great story ideas, the animation, some of the episodes were still really neat even with the insane pacing, Gammamon is very likeable, but overall, just. Ugh.
It feels like it could've been SO much more had the creators gone with some better direction for it, one way or another.

So I know the quality sucks and we don't get any better quality to compare, but I just wanted to point out that, yes. Baby Carlo has freckles. Very few of them. But you can see the ones he had since he was a wee young lad standing out in his painting.
Go ahead and go into the game and stand in front of the portrait. Compare their faces. I'll wait c:
Here's a full/clean version of his portrait if you want to stare at it
So anyways like I was saying before--
