Okay I might be trying to write some flowercrown yearning, but the ever wise Taishen and Skrimm are useless. Taishen’s like “I’ve never wanted a woman that way idk how to help you” and Skrimm’s like “you’re gay? Do you want a medal or something? A party? A cheer team? Get over it, we’re all a bit homo here”
YOU'RE WRITING!!.HELL YEAH I'M EXCITED FOR THE FLOWERCROWN GAY FEELS I'M HYPE!!!!
(Warning, headcanons abound through this)
You are correct though Taishen and Skrimm are the least helpful options Daisy could have if she wants love/dating advice. Strong headcanon of mine that from a combo of busy family life, lack of opportunity and aroace-spectrumness, Taishen has never really pursued much in the way of long-term relationships. But also as you say, maybe he's just a bit too queer to provide any insight on women specifically, he doesn't really know where to start. All his advice is great for strengthening a friendship though, and the basis of every good relationship is a strong friendship so he's not entirely at a loss.
Skrimm would be a nightmare to ask for help, not only is he flippant about it but he thinks he's a rizzmaster and all his advice SUCKS. The ladies "love" his unique brand of sleazy charm and pathetic demeanour. Tries teaching Daisy the worst pickup lines known to man or god and they're all overcomplicated and hyperspecific and he won't give context for any of them. At some point Daisy's like 'Look, this is all well and good for cruising but like. What do I do if I have feelings for her and want to BE with her' and Skrimm goes 'Oh, that's easy! You give up. Bury those feelings in the darkest corner of your heart and realise you're an idiot for ever daring to want that from anyone. Foolproof strategy, I swear by it'. Daisy spends the rest of the day chasing him around trying to make him fess up which of his friends he's sweet on while he hisses and scratches like an angry cat.
Barnabos actually has like. Half-decent experience with relationships (the shell doesn't count but iirc correctly there's more in his past than that). All his advice is either kinda old-fashioned/corny but tried-and-true - 'buy her flowers, open doors for her, tell her she has nice eyes' - very gentlemanly stuff. Or way too intense/impractical, sliding scale of 'tattoo her name on your bicep' to 'chop off a seamonsters head and gift it to her as a token of your devotion' to 'dedicate your every waking moment to her very existence'. Idk how to explain it properly but, probably as a result of being an older bloke usually surrounded by all-male crews, Barnabos is concerned with shit like... gender-based impropriety and etiquette (ie he's fine walking around buttarse naked in the vassal showers when it's just dudes but he panics at the thought of Queenie or a female vassal seeing anything - even when he and Queenie have presumably lived in close quarters for months now)(and he even admits she's like one of the guys to him) I think he'd be chill with most things but also have these moments of mental gymnastics while giving Daisy advice, like 'Well you always ought to pay for your lady love on a date and wrestle beasties to impress her... But also you're a lady too, so she... Hmm... Maybe you both do it for one another?' He's a little confused but he's got the spirit. That said, at least two likely pieces of his advice are solid: One, that the heart wants what it wants and there's no use fighting it (unless you've been served an outright rejection), and two, that the easiest way to anyone's heart is through their stomach. He promises to teach Daisy how to cook some hearty meals that'll impress any woman if they ever get off that frozen hellhole.
Jornir is no-one's pick for love advice and Daisy definitely wouldn't ask him, they'd just be sitting side-by-side during watch changover and Jornir, apropos of nothing, would say something like 'Queenie is a very direct person. She appreciates honesty. It would be best to just tell her.' and then while Daisy is going What The Fuck he gets up and leaves. She hasn't said shit to him about it he just knows #TheKnower (she isn't that subtle).
All of Queenie's advice is great and she actually knows what she's talking about, the only problem is that Queenie heard the other guys giving their alright-to-questionable advice and decided she should set Daisy ""straight"" about the best way to romance a woman (at least that's what she says - Daisy has no idea if she's picked up that she's into her or not, but how could she not know, but she hasn't said anything to Daisy about it, but-). Queenie sits her down while braiding her hair going 'You gotta ask women about their hobbies, the stuff they like, and share the stuff you like with 'em too - and be upfront with a girl if you wanna date her or not, don't go messing around making her play guessing games' and Daisy's just stock still panicking in her mind, 'Is she dropping hints? Should I confess right now? Shit, but what if she's just being nice and doesn't feel the same??' so she absorbs like 2% of it at most.
that canon character is the bane of my existence I know how it feels to be selfshipping with one half of a popular beloved canon pairing now I can't scroll his tag without 50% of the posts being blocked due to my filtering but I still have to see the blocked keywords 😃🔫🔪
Ichigo being a stay at home dad who works online is so in character for him actually…… he’s the type of dad to enforce 1 hour of no screen time outside playing in the yard and/or playground. He texts Orihime goofy pictures of Kazui jumping around in some water fixture in the local park and carries him home soaked to the bone and shivering with the biggest smile on his face and then they eat ice cream and wait for Orihime to get home so they can have family game night.
Babe am i allowed to ask WHY your aunt stuck her hand in the butter??????
legend it is such a boring and gross story that idk if u really even wanna know… plus I can’t tell u what my aunt was thinking or anything… but basically…
I was putting a new stick of butter on the dish even tho there was a teeny pat left… and as as I was going to nudge it out of the way with the new stick (which I was holding by the wrapper), my aunt was like… “let me get that!” and proceeded to drag her whole ass hand through the tray to like… idek GRAB it with claw fingers and pull (see: smear) it to the end of the tray…
To say I nearly screamed would be an understatement… Plus she like. Didn’t even wash her hands after that either :(
Yes, uhh, can I have... about a dozen episodes about her getting help and support and love? And of course the same for every single other pearl ever? Thanks.
