Something about Usopp getting sent to an island where delicious food is used as bait and he has to actively fight to eat (thus probably ending up just straight-up not eating some days and relating food to negative experiences) and Sanji constantly using food to serve and make others enjoy but barely eating himself because it isn't as rewarding and he doesn't really care about his well-being because he is used to starving (both physically and emotionally).
Like-- Usopp not really refusing to eat but kind of having a defense mechanism/odd quirks around it (eating too fast, keeping food for later, feeling safer if he straight up doesn't eat, or directly not being hungry at all) and Sanji actively just forgetting to feed himself and when he tries to do so he isn't... Full? At all? or satisfied? It just leaves him emptier. He likes giving food to others, that's what completes him. Eating just because just feels wrong for him.
So you have this guy with strong defense mechanisms against food who treats it as a necessity to live instead of enjoyment and another who treats food as an enjoyment but ONLY for other people and never himself.
And I like to think Usopp, after spending so much time getting used to storing food just in case he can't go hunting for more, still does the same when he's back with the crew. But he doesn't even know why he does it exactly. He is eating. He doesn't need to do this. But then he realizes he always thinks about Sanji whenever he keeps food. Usopp notices Sanji barely eats if the food is something he gives to himself, but gladly enjoys it when it's somebody else's doing. So Usopp just waits until everybody is out of the kitchen to approach Sanji and go "Hey, um, would you like to share the leftovers with me?" and something like that. And Sanji does end up eating more than usual which is, you know, an average meal.
On the other hand, Sanji stays with Usopp while he eats and speaks to him. Makes him feel safe so he doesn't have to make everything quick and running. Make him see that he is alright and he can take his time to enjoy the food without any worries. At the end of the day, they end up eating together after the whole crew has gone away, but that's more than fine with them.
if you think about it prime is kind of like megamind but without the redemption arc part. like how he is in the very first part of the movie before metroman fakes his death
Is our Bachelor tuckering out? Seems like all the energy of the night is finally getting to him! What better way to blow off some steam than some uber-competitive rounds of ping pong? (Julian won every single game, I'm not kidding!) Daniel feels calm and less "in the spotlight" around Julian, and though our Mr. Vance is still learning to relax into the performance anxiety of national television, I think he really appreciated these deep conversations with Dan!

I’m gonna take one for the team and say that I personally don’t like Stephanie and Cassandra being treated like an inseparable pair that are joined at the hip at all time, they both deserve to shine on their own at one point.
i know i said that I'm dropping this topic but like, i find it funny and veerrryyyy annoying how those rexmet haters adds like "THERE'S A SCENE IN THE MOVIE WHERE EMMET CALLS REX HIS BROTHER SO IT'S INCEST!!" or whatever for their whole ""list of why Rexmet is a horrible ship"" thing
aka bcuz of this scene
when in reality, they're not really brothers in the first place??? like, if you see them as "real brothers", then that's also just an AU and chet, they're more so like a found family type of brothers chet if you see them as brothers honestly
and also the fact that they also add like "MAKING AUS WHERE REX IS ALIVE AND IS REDEEMED IS WRONG CUZ REX IS A UNREDEEMABLE VILLAIN AND HE'S DEAD IN CANON SO HAH!!" next to it
...then that also applies to your whole "they're brothers" thing, so y'all are also fighting yourselves cuz that is also just an AU cuz Rex is alive and is redeemed lol, and that's why it's called AU, "Alternative Universe" or "Alternative Timeline" and chet like that bcuz he's gone in canon, and like, canonically, the Emmet in TLM2 is the AU one if you think about it cuz Rex is like the og Emmet and then he time travelled to changed the everything
and he's not a unredeemable villain, he's still the lovable Emmet that y'all keep saying but turned into a "bad guy" and is still redeemable like the movie itself said lol
and this whole scene is just a joke lmao, cuz like, see how out of place it is for Emmet to just suddenly say "I can be the brother you never have!" when Rex doesn't even need a brother in the first place, especially with his whole backstory what he needs is to be not alone
even before i didn't ship them, i felt that whole thing that Emmet said was out of place lmao
the movie is just being funny and serious at the same time
but the book
that book is serious
and even my brother who doesn't ship them also knows that that scene is a joke / making fun of other movies who does those kinds of chet lol
Watching older Black folks still choose to celebrate nb people for doing Black shit cause they brought into the lie that it was more pain than it's worth to resist the culture being commodified.
