Usopp is the most respectful men in the crew!
We can see this by how the ladies are comfortable around him, specifically Nami. Its cannon that Nami is one of the most beautiful women in the world and we see how men treat her over this. In a way I always see her guarded against men (or calculating how to take advantage over this fact). But with usopp she feels okay starting skinship or getting in situations that may be uncomfortable with others. And he always react with respect, never treating her different. During thriller bark she evens trust him to watch the bath. In a way, it's also different than the lack of interest we get from Zoro and Luffy.
And it may be fanservice but I don't feel nami is comfortable with the others to this point
Also, he was hiding in Robins clothes and instead of this becoming some sexy gag, it's just a hilarious scene
His relationship with Robin is also super wholesome. You can see they are both comfortable with each other.
Not forgetting he respect his adversary no matter the gender
We also have the whole Kaya and Usop relationship. While this one is read more as romantic, we always see usopp being really respectful in the way he talks about Kaya and his actions towards her. And honestly, his actions in every way always seem respectful
dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)
you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points
we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)
"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is
tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on
this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app
i always forget "fuck" is a bad word. it's like a brother to me
What appeals to me about whump: an incomplete list
Monster Trio+Law x !Fem!Reader, crack, fluff, modern-au, poor core (real), cashier is going THROUGH IT, !Early-relationship! , Ugh I thought this was so adorable, might be my favorite so far
They take you on a date and their card declines in-front of you...
•-•-•-•-••-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-••-•-•-•-•
Luffy
100% bought it all on fast food, he holds a Guinness World Record for the most amount of food eaten, period.
Would be confused at first, and wouldn't get it till you finally told him somethings wrong with his card. He about shoved it in there 100x times...
"HAH!? Why's it not working!''
"Wait huh seriously? Aww man..."
He'd definitely apologize and laugh it off. But he'd silent judge his card for failing him now as he attempted to finally buy you something. He’d definitely go and text Nami to Venmo him some quick money for you--in which she'd automatically decline.
(Much like his card)
Your bf would grumble, but he'd be quick to mask it with his short attention span.
He ended up dragging you into another random store after finding a whopping 5 bucks on the ground, sopping wet and crumpled from the rain... But somehow the cashier accepted it out of pity and he'd managed to buy you a little doodad in exchange--coming up behind you with a surprise in hand.
He giddily spun you around gleaming with excitement as he pecked you on the cheek.
"Shisihi, look what I got youuu! It's awesome"
(It was a crooked hot-wheels, but you ended up putting it on your shelf to cherish it)
Zoro
Sake was his downfall. Alcohol as we all know is incredibly expensive so it wasn't even a surprise, you expected it to eventually happen with how much he loved his booze...
Moreover you'd think it was a turn off with all his bottles but he'd always been a responsible drinker, and he barely got drunk...maybe a few times if he'd finally eased up in your arms.
Though when he swiped his card, it hadn't gone through. He'd pause and play it off a first, trying again, but when the cashier finally told him their were insufficient funds he'd go beet red.
"I don't know what you're talking about, it's gotta be your stupid machine..."
Not slick, at. all.
He'd act dense abt it, though deep down he knew he royally fucked up, so much for a romantic date...
When you finally offered to pay, he stubbornly grumbled as you had placed some spare cash on the counter.
"Oi, You didn't have to do that..."
He wouldn't immediately say thank you, but he'd been quietly grateful you were smart to bring 'just in case' cash... which he'd also said wasn't necceasry... but look what happened.
You tended to be right in these scenarios.
A few days later he had begrudgingly said thank you and handed you some floppy but colorful flowers as he had randomly stopped by your house heading to work.
Coincidently getting lost, but he'd never admit it.
The offer was rather chaotic as you'd just gotten out of the shower, but it only made him more flustered.
"Didn't uh, mean to interrupt, just wanted to drop these off. And thank you for the other day."
Sanji
I physically cannot see this man's card declining, so he had probably used the wrong card...
But even if he did I could see him full on freaking out, like telling the cashier to run it again and crossing his arms as his fingers anxiously tapped on his arm. He almost went to call his bank until he realized it wasn't his main card and his embarrassed meter went through the roof.
He went pink, but as you offered to pay he immediately shut it down. Sanji would never let you pay for anything, he wanted to take care of you and spoil you like no other--so forget asking. Even if you weren't that far along in dating.
He'd rather search the floor for pennies than let you pay.
Though if you did somehow manage to pay, he'd pay you back beyonddd extra. Like I'm talking about full on flowers and little chocolates or anything romantic.
Even if you thought it was rude to accept, he'd quickly assure you it was okay and that 'he wanted to' so it didn't matter if it was 'payback' or not. He'd came over to hang out, and he'd gently grab your hand kissing it as he spoke with gentle words.
"My love, just take it please, it'd mean the world to me."
Law
Law's card wouldn't normally decline, but one of his transactions for his action figure(s) had finally come through and he didn't realized it till he'd taken you out for lunch.
The waiter had handed him back his card and he deadpanned for a moment--before telling them to try it again--but hopelessly it didn't make a difference. And to make things better the waiter outright said he was broke and needed a different form of payment.
Law would loathe the moment, feeling second-hand embarrassment for miles as he brooded wishing it happened anywhere else no mattering the time.
He'd be embarrassed, growing quiet with a darkened expression as he averted his gaze. Which it only intensified when you happily handed the waiter your card, assuring him it wasn't the end of the world... and that you were just happy to be here with him.
He had gone increasingly quiet, and you couldn't help but laugh as he covered his face with the tilt of his infamous hat.
"L-Let's just go."
This man would NEVER let it happen again, and he'd carefully watch his guilty spending habits with a sour expression. The thought of that moment practically kept him up at night.
Law didn't pay you back, but he'd taken a little time off work to spend more quality time with you as that seemed to make you happy. And your doctor-in-training wanted nothing more than to see your smile.

•-•-•—•-•-••-•-•—•-•—•-•
It started small.
From a simple mistake, to the tragedies of your life to the very questioning of your future. You were scared. Of living, no, correction—surviving, to just existing to fail.
The lingering question consumed you:
Would it even be worth it?
With all the trouble you’ve gone through now?
The expectations, the asks, the responsibilities—would you ever meet them?
Would you ever accomplish them?
The wind replied, brushing past as you stood on the Moby Dick, stationed near the stern. The sun was setting, and the decks were quiet. The aftermath of dinner flew by, and the crew headed to bed, while others slipped to night-watch.
Crying, you lowered yourself to the rail. resting your head against your arms. An unbearable feeling took over, and it made your chest tight. Numbing, and lost, you now experienced while in the inevitable of your depression.
You knew it wouldn’t be long till someone found you, but you needed to let it out, to breathe. Especially after hours of avoiding a hot-headed pirate.
Ace’s and your relationship had been on a rocky stand-hold. You weren’t opening up, and you were avoiding the topic of obvious like the plague, even if offered help. Anxiety prevented you from speaking out, while the simmering stubbornness left you lost.
You hadn’t realized it, but he’d been watching from afar; lingering as you made yourself small and hidden, left achingly worried.
Ace took a step, but hesitated. He was scared if he made the wrong move, he might just break you.
You’d already drifted so far, to the point Ace, the crew—everyone saw it. The heaviness that surrounded you, a silent weight that held you back, and a mindless stare the left them nervous.
It wasn’t impossible to reach you, the crew understood that, and Ace knew it better than anyone; he just needed to find the right words.
He needed to find the right time, and that was now.
Ace’s steps were quiet, just like the way you cried. He didn’t want to startle you—that was the last thing he wanted, and it was the last thing you needed.
Carefully, he came to your side, just barely brushing your shoulder. Inviting, but not pressuring.
Watching the waves, a moment passed before he spoke.
“You weren’t at dinner.”
You sniffled, wiping your tears to turn away. “I was busy…with something.”
“Yeah,” he mumbled, “I figured.”
Silence shrouded, and you couldn’t find the courage to speak. You felt weak, vulnerable—incompetent.
Though, Ace never pushed.
Not really, anyway.
“Have you. . .” Another painful moment.
“. . . been thinking about it again?” he asked, leaning against the rail. His tone was soft, not accusing, just questioning… and sad.
Ace wasn’t judging, he’d never, but his comment laced your throat. You were left speechless, drowning in your own shame and his truth, by his blunt words.
You managed a shaky breath, subtly squeezing the rail. You felt frozen.
“You don’t have to say anything,” he said, placing his hand by yours. “I get it, I really do.”
His pinky inched forward, wrapping around your own. To anyone, it’d feel small, but to you—in a moment like this?
It meant a lot.
“You don’t even need to give me a reason.”
Wind rustled by, combing your hair and smearing your tears.
“I’m just tired, Ace,” you whispered, turning to him. “I’m so tired of this.” your voice cracked, and he held your gaze.
His expression turned, and he tensed.
Ace’s eyes glossed with tears, and he stepped forward—almost fiercely. But not pushing.
His arms extended, and softly, he whispered your name. “Come here.”
You took a weak step forward, and in an instant he hugged you. “It’s okay,” he muttered, grabbing the back of your head. “It’s gonna be okay. You hear me?”
You collapsed against him, clutching his shirt— as if it was the only thing keeping you there.
Because truthfully, it was.
“Its just so hard.” you choked.
“I know.” he held you, holding you to the point you couldn’t breath. But you couldn’t care, you needed this more than anything.
“I know it is.”
The sky welled blue, stirring in with darker colors and gray clouds. Seagulls flew over-head, nesting in the ship brackets and windows to hide for a storm.
Just like you were in Ace’s arms, sheltered from your mind. Safe.
“I got you,” Ace’s voice wavered, but it was grounding. With pouring emotion he kissed your temple. “I’m not going anywhere, and I’m not letting go, you’re stuck with me.”
“You got that?”
You managed a nod, and he held you closer.
“You don’t have to be strong for me,” he whispered, “you never do, not even for the crew. You just have to stay. That’s it, just stay.”
You cried, tilting your head and he cupped the back of it. “What am I gonna do?” You voiced, looking up to him. “I-I dont, I don’t know anymore.”
“You’ll figure it out.” Ace said firmly, brushing your tears. “You always do, it just takes time. Just a little more time, just me and you, it’ll be okay.”
“What if it isn’t—what if I screw everything up?”
“You won’t ____. You never do. Nothing is perfect, you can’t always expect that of yourself.”
Ace’s finger poked your forehead, making you wince. “Don’t listen to that, whatever it’s telling you—ignore it. It’s just being a pain in the ass, and you don’t deserve it.”
A softer moment passed, border-lining vulnerable. “You hear me?”
“Yeah…” you whispered, wiping your tears.
“Good. You got it, maybe not now, but you will. I know you will.” Ace kissed the corner of your eye, bringing his head forehead to yours. His nose grazed the tip of yours, and his voice sounded below a whisper.
“I love you,” he murmured. “No matter what happens, that’ll never change, okay?”
“Okay.”
For the first time in weeks, maybe even months— you could breathe. Finally breathe. Under the light drizzle of rain, his reassurance, and love, broke through the numb that swallowed you whole.
The wind brisked cold, and you shivered stepping closer.
“Shh,” he hushed, heating his body to warm you. “It’s okay, I got you.”
Like a blanket out of the dryer, the fire of his body heat surrounded you, following to your heart. Completed in his presence, Ace was by your side, and he made it clear he wasn’t letting you go.
Not for a long time.
nobody say a fucking word about tumblr we can’t remind these billionaires we exist
Zoro + unwanted physical affection
They're judging you
