I went to spookala and met a fursuiter.

One of the coolest fursuits.

Hope everyone's safe.

Kensei to Hisagi: How to properly woo Matsumoto

As requested by shuuheihisagay. :)

"Listen up, Hisagi. As your captain, I can no longer watch you flail about in helpless futility. You want to date Matsumoto? Then stop being such a damn moron about it! Just do the following ten things. ....Is there a REASON you're not taking notes? That's better!"

1. Be direct.

"First of all, trying to woo Matsumoto while never actually saying that you want to date her is moronic. Matsumoto cannot read minds. And she has plenty of other shit to worry about without trying to guess what's going on inside your brain. So if you want to date her, ask her out! Tell her you like her! Just be direct already! Imagine that 'asking her out' is Tosen's brain, and you are your zanpakuto, and plunge straight in!"

2. Control your nosebleeds.

"And when you ask her out, try to do it WITHOUT blood pouring from your nose. Unless Matsumoto has very specific kinks, I'm thinking that's a turn-off. So go lock yourself in your room with some nice porn, and train yourself to see sexy things without a gushing fountain of blood."

3. Failing that, stuff cotton up your nose.

"Or if you're totally hopeless (because, come on, it's you), then just stuff cotton up your nose or something."

4. Invite her to do something she enjoys.

"Once you're talking to Matsumoto sans blood, then it's time to invite her to do something she enjoys. Like shopping - ask her if she wants to go shopping with you. And I mean shopping at stores she likes; don't just take her with you while you go looking for a new brush for Komamura or whatever. Remember: you're trying to make her happy so that she'll associate you with good feelings and know that you care!"

5. Ask her about her thoughts and feelings.

"And try to get better at making conversation. Getting all flustered and speechless is cute at first, but very soon it makes your companion want to punt you through the nearest window. I'd suggest you practice with Mashiro - she's a woman, and she will actually punt you through a window if you do poorly. Learn how to talk to women, and then use those skills with Matsumoto! Because remember, Hisagi - training only works when you use your new skills in battle. Or on a date. Whatever."

6. Emphasize your common experiences.

"You and Matsumoto do have a lot in common, you know. You were both betrayed by people you trusted, and you were both raised by wolves in the woods or whatever. So you can always fall back on that. Compare wolf mom stories or talk shit about Tosen. Things like that."

7. Compliment her - about more things than her looks!

"Don't forget to compliment her, of course. Everybody loves compliments. Only don't just focus on her looks: sure she's beautiful, but I'm sure she gets complimented for that all the time. Compliment her mind too, and her attitude, and her taste in clothes. Be creative! But not too creative."

8. Do not cry.

"Not even if she does something super terrifying like, I don't know, smiling."

9. Cook with more flair.

"If you manage to get her back to your place and you decide to cook for her, then TRY to make your food not boring. I know you probably don't want to hear this, but the WSRA? They think your food kinda sucks. It's all plain or whatever. So you need to learn to cook with more flair. And make sure your apron is sexy. That is important too."

10. Pray to all the gods that she likes dorks. 

"Because otherwise you have zero chance here. Zero."
