anyways, better, more wholesome brook jokes to replace his thing with panties:
- him and franky will turn a scene into a musical at random moments
- his sense of gentleman etiquette is outdated and so he will do things like stand whenever a lady walks into a room, run over and pick up whatever a lady drops, and randomly help ladies across the street or help them out of a vehicle without warning. it’s only a little awkward on the ship but it’s mortifying in public. sanji tries his best to teach him modern etiquette but brook is scandalized by his cursing and how he smokes in front of ladies
- people will talk to him for a while. he’s actually asleep.
- he gets stabbed and freaks out but the sword has gone between his ribs.
- franky’s tech fuckin blows his mind and from then on he assumes that any machine or weapon he doesn’t recognize does incredibly improbable things, or expects franky to have unreasonably specific gadgets for every situation.
- robin mentions important historical events, everybody turns to brook and asks if he remembers it. even if it happened 800 years ago
- that’s all i can think of for now
-bonus for number two: Brook running off becomes so frequent that it gets to be a problem so they have to get one of those kiddy backpack leashes for him. Ussopp, Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper have to draw straws for it
-bonus bonus: one time they forget it and tie one of Luffy’s arms into a makeshift harness for Brook
-Brook is unreasonably upset that he can’t play the kazoo (no lips, yohoho…)
-but he CAN fill up his brain cavity with nuts or beans and use it as a maraca or to bother Zoro or Nami or smuggle food past Sanji to Luffy
-in fact hiding things in Brook’s skull becomes kind of a thing. Secret special map chart? Skull. Loose vivre card? Skull. Zoro’s sense of direction? Skull. Change of earrings? Skull. I’d say it’s handy but… (no hands, yohoho…)
HOW DID I NOT CONSIDER EVERYBODY USING HIS SKULL AS A CUBBY
IT WORKS AGAINST BAD GUYS BECAUSE THEY ALL THINK WOW THE STRONG CAPTAIN OR THE CAT BURGLAR HAS THE LOOT but no its in the communal cubby with these cool spices Sanji found and Zoro’s new tin of sword polish and Chopper’s snacks lol nobody will EVER suspect
-#3 bonus if he’s actually asleep while they’ve been talking for a while it turns into a game of how many x can I fit in his eye holes before he wakes up
-“I’m so cool because I’m only 45 degrees!” Alternately if you’re not a dirty American and use Celsius like people with common sense “I’m so hot because I’m 45 degrees!”
you’re doing so good to my post i feel like i have to also do good, and also do good to brook, i don’t think i can come up with many more good skeleton japes but golly i have to try
- someone suggests hiding something in brook’s chest cavity, he gets very shy and embarrassed. especially if they need to hide a really small kid. “brook, there’s literally nothing to see” “BUT IT’S SO FORWARD
- at one point, everybody realizes that brook is light as shit and that means zoro can pretty much just launch him into space, cue everytime they have to infiltrate some base everybody turns to him. zoro stretches his arms. brook cries.
- during one of their adventures, brook finds a skeleton and decides to bring it back. he leaves it around in any manner of poses and also in all manner of funny hiding places. it gets tossed overboard after too many times of mistaken identity and accidental jump scares.
- he keeps turning poetry into songs instead, and it’s especially impressive when it’s free verse.
- sometimes he tries to mimic sanji’s weird-ass leg poses behind him, and ends up doing it better without any fat or muscles or skin in the way, also his legs are way longer and it looks cooler. sanji says he’s not jealous, is actually super jealous.
- at some point in the future he hangs a pair of spectacles around his neck and then every time he reads something he pulls them up to his eyes and acts like he’s really peering through them and it’s so obviously a set-up for a skull joke but he never fucking says it and it drives everybody crazy.
- that’s all again
i n c r e d i b l e omg you’re doing amazing b I don’t have anymore at the moment except for one
-they’re all talking about soup and Sanji mentions he makes broth by boiling bones and one by one they all look at Brook real considering like (Brook won’t come out of the crows nest for two days)
