every time the red-hair pirates get a new crew member, benn sits them down for a Talk. rules of the ship, what kind of behavior is expected, what kind of behavior is tolerated, and what kind of behavior will get you keelhauled. near the end of the talk, benn lays down the 3 most important rules:
there is nothing i can do about the homoerotic relationship capt has with the clown
trust in capt always. even if he doesn't look like it, capt has plan. believe always.
there is nothing you can do about the homoerotic relationship capt has with the clown
and as always, the newbie gets it into their head that they can fix capt and the clown and sets up some convoluted plan to get the two back together again. and as always it fails because capt and the clown will dead and rotting in the ground before they ever Talk to each other properly. benn needs a fucking pay raise.

Any usopp hcs you’d like to share with us?
WOULD I EVER LIKE TO SHARE SOME HC’S WITH YALL
Okay, 
Usopp totally has anxiety(this is canon) but the strawhats all have individual ways of helping him through it(I’m doing my dream strawhat crew in this so buckle up kiddos)
Luffy can kind of just smile and say something like “I believe in you because the future Pirate King would have no less” and Usopp just remembers “that’s right i gotta be strong for luffy and luffy needs me”
Nami is more of a physical affection type where she’ll just set her hand on his back or brush by him either in the heat of battle, afterwards or before and she doesn’t say much and if she does it’ll be “i’m just as scared so i need you by me” and that gives him courage to fight because his BFF is not gonna get hurt if he can help it
Zoro and Sanji like to use a speech of “we’ll do what we do best, so you do what you do best”(Like in Robin’s arc where Sogeking was brought to light and he was worried)
Brook will always cover him and just kind of encourage him with a tune or afterwards he’s great about lifting his spirits by composing songs where Usopp is the hero
Franky is always down to show him a new invention and be like “here you’re the only one who can fire this” and he’ll fire a giant canon and it’s all good
Chopper is first and foremost one of Usopps biggest fans but he’s also a doctor so he’s bound to have smells and blanket forts ready for when words just don’t bring him back but some nice smelling therapy will
Robin will play him up to enemies “oh you may win against me, but not our bravest warrior of the sea, friend to giants and fiercist fighter Usopp.” and Usopp’ll bust in and be like “ya damn right!!” and there’s also her hands that give him a reassuring pat 
Carrot(i know she’s silly but she’s adorable and strong let her stay) Garchu’s the shit out of him and like I said he craves skin to skin so he always has her right there with him and with her affection(especially after a battle where they haven’t seen much of one another)
Jimbei has been a pirate for a long time so he’ll tell Usopp stories about all the brave warriors he’s seen and be like “but you by far are the bravest” he’s also the voice of reason with Usopp when something is really risky and that helps Usopp have just a bit of backup
Marco(let him join or let him be happy or give me death) has also been a pirate with over 1000 brothers at once, he knows anxiety because he was most of the time the most anxious laid back brother in the world
Thatch: marco you alright?
Marco in a deadpan: my heart rate registers as a panic attack
Thatch: ????? Do you need a doctor
Marco: just some god damn peace and quiet
So Marco is an actual pro about reassuring usopp and even helping him in the midsts of battle kind of like Zoro and Sanji, he’ll tell him a sniper shouldn’t fight on the front lines fall back, get to a high place, help us from there and that if he does that he’s the bravest ever to go off on his own and snipe where enemies could still find him
Usopp is canonically the best story teller ever, and Luffy and Chopper love his stories and if they’ve woken up to their own respective reasons and Usopp happens to be awake they’ll beg for a story and get an epic adventure 
Has the steadiest hands in the world so sometimes chopper will ask him and robin for medical help so long as Usopp isn’t panicking but if Chopper can get Usopp in his sniping mind then he’s gucci
Has to know how to do hair cause now he has a lot and often will be seen with Nami and Robin brushing their hair in the morning talking about new methods and better/healthier care
When he meets his dad and his dad is like “you grow your ammunition???” he’s like “beats buying and hand carving it” and Benn and Yassop just get dumb quiet and Shanks and Rockstar lose their shit because “oh my god, you both look like idiots to your child” 
For everyone’s information Usopp would def be an art kid in a modern AU and I read a fic where he’s an aspiring tattoo artist and I am DOWN WITH THAT
He is well versed on poisonous plants and harmful plants(from his island) and a lot of insects so when they’re on islands even though he really hates it sometimes, they bring him along to tell them about various plants and what to stay away from(Chopper and him are unstoppable from medicinal to hazardous to harmless plants and herbs)
I HC Usopp as Bi-Sexual and Demisexual 
Nami and him are BFF’s but he and Luffy are BFF’s as well but they’re different BFF’s with different requirements and it’s like a club
Nami and Usopp can and will trash talk an enemy into the ground(@foxy) 
Zoro said in passing one time “you’re braver and more outgoing, it’s a nice look on you” and Usopp could not stop crying for three hours
He also works out with Nami and Zoro(it’s almost like Zoro is teaching a class at this point) and like with Zoro Nami is not afraid to push them, but Usopp turns the table on her if she tries to skip out 
“If you stop now, you pay us double allowance” and she’ll surpass both of them and they have to pay her to stop
Usopp has studied his crew mates, their weaknesses, strengths, likes, dislikes, hobbies, etc.. and is basically more knowledgeable that Bartolomeo and Bartolomeo would have declared war had Usopp not been a strawhat(he does insist on Usopp’s classes) but Usopp denies and cooly states “A sniper must have the crews back and front, so I must know all!” and everyone thinks that’s just the coolest
After the Two Year time skip everyone constantly touches his new muscles because “jesus christ what did you do the past two years?”ˆ and he doesn’t really have the heart to tell them he was running from giants insects and plants because… that doesn’t sound cool??? but then he hears Sanji’s story and everyone makes fun of Sanji so Usopp tells them and Luffy says cool to the bugs because he’s a nerd but everyone else literally just hugs him and says “you went through real hell” 
Usopp can keep a party going for hours whether it be in song, in story, or in dance like everyone will be passed out but if there are islanders or other pirates still awake, he’s with them and when everyone else wakes up it just keeps going
Is the friend that makes a point to ask all his friends if they’re doing alright. 
Usopp is so underrated as a character and isn’t considered very strong but like, for a normal run of the mill kid who went from lying, scared, under confidant nerd to a guy who admits when he’s scared and works around it and uses his weaknesses as strengths as much as possible he deserves a lot of praise because the Strawhats need him almost as much he needs them
Also if I find anyone shit talking Usopp, it’s 1v1 in a backalley at sunset 
Thank you for the ask!!! I hope you like them(everyone else too) Don’t hesitate to send me more or ask me something else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the Strawhats and it’s been a while and I’ll always love them!!!!!!
