How would your characters react to receiving flowers from someone they like?

Alicia would be shyly really happy and touched, especially if he took the time to get the specific type of flowers she likes, because she's not a fan of roses and her tastes are more niche. (marigolds, geraniums, etc.)

Kattar, despite being a boy, loves flowers and is not ashamed of that. His favorites are peonies, because pink is his favorite color and they look so delicate and sweet. (their scent bothers Alicia though. She's not a fan of the smell of flowers and Peonies have a very strong perfume.) If Alicia bought him peonies he'd be super touched.

Oh wait...:

Jinwoo: He loves flowers, so if someone he liked bought him flowers he'd be super happy (though he might forget to say thank you, depending on how surprised he was at receiving them.) He also would probably not recognize it as a confession of love.

Kimberly: Would be really happy, surprised and flushed at the same time, but also a little uncomfortable.

Ragnar would go berserk. He is terrified of flowers, sees them as something eldritch which should not exist and he doesn’t particularly like flowers that could talk.

do flowers talk in your world?

Some of them do. Telepathically, of course. They do NOT have faces. This is because I’ve found plants with faces in fiction to be DISTURBING. That’s probably why I can’t read Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass anymore.

Honestly, Astra would love that because she's a romantic and loves flowers. So she would be over the moon.

And weird as it sounds, Psychoborg would be happy too. He loves tinkering and gadgets and such, but he ironically loves flowers especially white roses. I won't say why though because that would bring on spoilers.

how is it ironic for him to love flowers? Lots of people like flowers

Says thanks, be annoyed 'cause it's too often, quickly plants it wherever they are currently adventuring.

Comes back in a year or two to see if it's still there.

Whoops, it's a flower field of blue bell now. These two idiots.

Aaron: A little uncomfortable, not exactly sure what to do with them, because it would be weird for him to receive flowers, but he'd thank Eliza for them, very uncomfortably. And then quickly ask if this was to butter him up before she explained about an impulsive business endeavor she attempted without telling him that wasted a bunch of their money.

Eliza: would be happy, and then inspired to make a 100% unnecessary hair accessory which would then immediately make Aaron regret giving her flowers.

This is a fun one. For Apparent Secrets, the roommates would all react differently to receiving flowers.

Iris: She would go in for a hug and kiss from the giver.
Zayzann: He'd likely sniff and then eat the flowers (he doesn't know how Earth customs work).
Byxx: Definitely would go in for the open-mouth kiss. Tongue, no tongue; dealer's choice.
Khazmine: She has a poor sense of smell, but would appreciate the gesture, nonetheless.

Um, Byxx? Let's hope the person was already committed to that level of relationship, otherwise that sounds like a good way to scare them away.

I would never consider telepathic flowers an "of course" scenario, but okay. i'd be scared of those too

Claudita would be happy but unfortunately she will make it clear she's incapable of romantic and sexual love. Of course doing her best to give a gentle soft rejection.

Akala will gladly take them and then psychologically manipulate and brainwash him to be her soldier / slave that's ready to die and kill for her. She totally gets off on that.

My characters be like…

Mansi_Gu 2024-02-16 03:10:11 UTC #15

Addai - If it's from a friend he likes, he'd bow and say thanks, keeping the flowers healthy for a few days and then drying them. If it's from Mine, he'd say thanks and get messy, then he'd probably use a spell to keep the flower intact.
Mine - he'd smile widely and joyfully. If they were from Addai, his hair would turn pink, and his face would turn red like a tomato, but he would say thanks and bows.
Lydia - she'd study the flower
Aarush - he'd sneeze - he has a pollen allergy
Woltz - he'd think it's a joke
Shire - he'd ask if they're for his funeral

Yeah, he's really forward. Must be a cultural thing from the Forgotten Wastes...

Scamp would probably enter cardiac arrest or something if he got a flower from Sarah XD

Leyelle 2024-02-18 11:15:48 UTC #18

yikes, but at least she'd be there to call 911

Leyelle 2024-02-18 11:54:07 UTC #19

that just sounds like an excuse lol

skidiggy 2024-02-18 17:29:10 UTC #20

Almost certainly. He's a hugger, so watch out!
