holyjudgment replied to your post: …So, I was thinking about that ask meme from...
I’m confused too but they’re super cute
They are, which is why it kind of makes me upset that people started latching onto them here.
Before they were just kind of an unusual yet still pretty cute thing, but now (at least on here) they have this inescapable attachment to the meme. And they can thus be really obnoxious to so much as see for some people now. Which really makes me sad.
Also, I remembered that I could just google these things, and from the looks of it... It seems as though it began when a member of One Direction, Harry Styles, tweeted "I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair" a few years back. People only just noticed it this year for some reason, and started shopping him into flower crowns, and things escalated until fans started bringing flower crowns to their concerts and throwing them at the band.
And then other fandoms caught on and started drawing them on their own characters. Most notably the Hannibal fandom.
Goddammit, Styles. Look what you've inadvertently created.
