// One thing I want to just have out there for my Sanji is how I have him canon compliant/divergent regarding the whole... way he interacts with women. AND LIKE IM SURE THERE'S JUST A GENERAL UNDERSTANDING... I just wanna write it out myself and have it on record for my blog.
Right off the bat, I don't play with the perversion at all. It wasn't funny when it became a thing in media and it certainly isn't funny now! So with my Sanji, there's not any creepy pervy things, but instead, a sort of puppy love-like feeling he gets when he interacts with women.
Sanji was raised with certain ideals where the man should ideally protect women and never raise a harmful hand/do anything harmful to them. Which would mean he would treat them with respect and hold himself accountable to those ideals. Though it can be very inhibiting in a fight, he knows he can rely on others to cover the weaknesses he has. And for the record, he can (and will) defend himself against attacks from women, it's only that he cannot attack/cause harm to them.
He's very prone to "falling in love" with women to the point where he's at their beck and call. Which is more infatuation above all else. When Sanji really has feeling for someone, he acts less "over the top" than he would with them. Genuinely would hold longer conversations with them, acts of service outside of cooking for them, and spending a lot of quality time with them. Even give more thoughtful compliments that are more than just beauty.
The whole nosebleed gag at Fishman Island? Sorry, I'm not really gonna acknowledge that other than he does love how pretty the mermaids are. He doesn't skyrocket off with nosebleeds or anything like that. Maybe a slight one from being overwhelmed by the attention of a bunch of mermaids/women but that's as far as it goes.
In addition, the bathhouse thing in Wano where he is Stealth Black @ the bathhouse, he was waiting outside when the ordeal happen to make sure his female companions and allies would be alright, along with catching Drake & Hawkins starting to enter there as well. When he hears commotion ensure, he does enter and fails to realize he's going to see a bunch of women. Then the rest of canon occurs (insert general vague gesture)
