platonic hanahaki?
[cw: hanahaki, implying familial/friendship strains and unstable family dynamics, unhealthy dynamics, anxiety in relationships, uncertainty in relationships]
*If you have any more ideas related to this prompt, pleaaase let me know I beg of thee, I love hearing people tossing ideas around!!
has anyone ever tried to write platonic hanahaki? especially in a familial relationship (including friendships so close that they basically count)
where you've started to doubt if a person you deeply adore and look up to cares about you, if they love you. the guilt you feel over so much as questioning it, because of course they love you, of course...
but there's that quiet little voice, that longing need inside that makes you want to take more and more from them, to latch onto them like your rock in a thunderstorm.
or, perhaps you haven't known them for long - a new person. you want to be their friend, you want to be close to them. you see something in them that comforts you, that eases the pain you're feeling. but you know you've gotten attached too quickly, but they keep feeding what could be becoming a slight obsession. and then they pull away. you're still friends, you think. but the friend group/clique you had with them crumbles apart, and you realize that they already have a different friend group to fall back on. you're glad that they do, you're happy that they're okay. but...
then why would they need you?
so you try to make yourself included
try to shower them in little gifts, little praises, continue on like nothing's wrong - because, really, nothing is! you're just anxious, you do have other friends, but you miss what you had with them.
and how, my friend, might we make it hanahaki?
flowers go auchkajkejk
oopsies, hi - do you want a bloody bouquet as a reminder of my undying platonic affection? they actually smell so nice dude like wow
also, since hanahaki (when properly cured, not removed) is fixed with a romantic kiss and/or confession(s) of love, it still works! just no mouth kisses tho.
also also, I feel like this could be used in/connect to/be utilized alongside metaphors for mental conditions like autism, anxiety, adhd, et cetera. if you want, just as a treat (do we call them conditions?? they're not proper illnesses, except for anxiety ig?? dude I'm not in psyche, I'm a rabbit in a mixing pot-)

The thing I like about The Cuphead Show is a little thought of mine that Devil actually DIDN'T forget about invisible sweater on Cuphead and he was ACTUALLY ready for pain from it, like:
"oh u know what? screw this. This guy is TOO funny and amazing, im gonna pat him, I should do this."
You just can't say whether it truth or not, but it sounds so sweet. 🥺🥺🥺

Kation and Jack Willamette!
They're both adventurous, feral and absolutele loose canons, and they seem to enjoy each others company!
Jack had this brilliant idea of making a rocket out of firework and a shopping cart. How fun!! Let's hope they don't get blown to pieces!
(I drew this the same day @honkiestofbonkies drew Kation the first time, i just procrastinated posting it lol)

i know it’s like years old at this point but i love that one collab mumbo and grian did with tommyinnit bc it’s like the single most concentrated example i’ve seen of mumbo’s Chaos Nullification Powers
you get to see a bit of it on hermitcraft, mostly via his interactions with grian, but until seeing that collab it didn’t really hit me just how completely mumbo can no-sell other people’s attempts to control a situation. tommyinnit is possibly the single shoutiest, most chaotic minecraft youtuber out there, and in most videos i’ve seen he pretty much overwhelms everyone else and sets the tone for interactions because of this. but mumbo just. doesn’t let him. no matter how much tommy escalates in intensity, mumbo reacts with *exactly* the same energy he always does. grian largely comes across in the whole video as annoyed and reluctant to engage with the whole thing, but mumbo’s not even affected. he just rolls with anything he finds funny and basically ignores anything he disapproves of, only seeming more and more unflappable the harder anyone tries to get a rise out of him.
AND imo, this is the key to my favorite interpretation of him as a character
see, when the people around him are being more reasonable/calm, i think mumbo often comes across as anxious and a bit easily overwhelmed. the thing is, his nervous wet cat vibes do not scale. he has one setting. his responses to the last life ‘ah-ha!’ jokes and to hermitcraft 8 starting to crumble to pieces under a falling moon are almost identical.
mumbo jumbo is inexorably and eternally Just Some Guy, but that gets stranger and stranger the weirder his surroundings become. the giggly incredulousness that makes him an easy target for goofy puns looks Very different when it’s also his reaction to the impending end of the world.

That evening the men were practicing archery on the green. Bill Door had carefully ensured a local reputation as the worst bowman in the entire history of toxophily; it had never occurred to anyone that putting arrows through the hats of bystanders behind him must logically take a lot more skill than merely sending them through a quite large target a mere fifty yards away.
It was amazing how many friends you could make by being bad at things, provided you were bad enough to be funny.
