I’m sorry to Grian but going to Mumbo - the guy who is known for constantly giggling - to try to fulfil his task of telling bad jokes no one will laugh at is probably the funniest thing he could have done.
He saw his special little guy and all reason went out the window. He had to hang out with mumbo right now immediately doing well at his own series be damned
Imagine how relived the straw hats must be once they’re on the crew.
Each straw hat struggled before joining (Nami with arlong, Franky with Tom’s death, Robin with … everything). They didn’t have enough of the necessities (love, food, money, safety) but then they become a straw hat and they don’t have to ration anything.
Nami is free to save and spend money as she pleases. Robin is finally able to relax and enjoy life. Franky is wholly welcomed somewhere.
something that stuck out to me during several straw hats backstories was that they didn’t have enough to eat. They’re likely malnourished and underweight.
So imagine how reliving it is to have a cook who not only makes feasts everyday, but goes out of his way to make sure everything is suited to personal taste. Robin and Nami get deserts and coffee and tea whenever they want it.
They have a surplus, and that must be so fucking comforting.
Actually the movie ended with them all living together in a polycule happily and confusing the shit out of the Denton locals, Richard O’Brien told me this himself
something about this clip from a jason interview. the way he talks about james. them hanging out and writing together and watching each other’s cats ;-;
