Absolutely loving this blog. Do you fw the head cannon that Leafy would hate the taste / smell of yoyelberries after being forced to eat them for years?
Also your opinion on having any romantic relations in redux! since the og series doesn't have any romance at all.
Sorry if this sounds a bit awkward I wasn't sure how to phrase everything.
No need to apologize Anon!! It's all fine, I understood !
I do fw that headcanon. I can imagine--
Months/years in isolation destroyed Leafy.
She hated herself. She punished herself. She pushed everyone who tried to help away. She told herself that she deserved it.
Yoyleland had very little food sources. She turned to yoylebushes and their budding fruit: yoyleberries.
Fresh, ripe, unprocessed yoyleberries.
The cool smell of the leaves, like mint, while the fruit was balmy. The initial sweet flavor on the tongue, followed by sour the longer it sat in her mouth. The metallic aftertaste.
Sometimes, she can still smell and taste it. Nobody will bring it up and she can feel it on her tongue, in her nostrils.. she HATES it.

Now, in the romance department!!
I am not that much of a romantic myself,,, but I know a thing or two about writing it!! And I've confirmed romantic attractions for several characters.
I think it's a wonderful idea!! Part of the redux is presenting different dynamics and relationships. Healthy, unhealthy, or otherwise.
I think Match had feelings for Pencil around BFDIA-IDFB. It began to die down in BFB, especially after both of their eliminations. They suddenly had problems. (Six years of trauma) Doomed toxic one-sided yuri!
I also considered Needle and Pencil, which would also be toxic and probably doomed because of the way Pencil was with Needle in BFDIA and how she is with her whole team in IDFB. (inspired by this tiktok)
I toyed with Golf Ball and Tennis Ball but I find it didn't go anywhere, I didn't like it. I ended up giving the flirtiness between them in BFB to Lollipop. The old character proposal I made for them is getting a huge overhaul!
Lollipop flirts with every friend she makes but she is a lesbian!! If Teardrop stuck around after BFB ended, the two of them would've kissed. TD is demiromantic!!
Pen, Blocky, and Eraser as a polycule mayhaps? With Blocky splitting off following BFB post-split and maybe doing something with Woody. I like queer relationships I am queer
Price Tag and Book could be worth something. They're both in a good headspace for it in TPOT!
If the audience has any suggestions, I am all ears!! They do not have to be healthy. They can be toxic and doomed.
