#unrequited or uncommunicated love is fine angst but sometimes it feels really unfair so i like to soften things up

[whimsicorner]

there's a charm to tragedy hanahaki but every day I want to make comedy hanahaki and the only thing that stops me is my brain going on a little journey instead of researching to write. My favorite type of hanahaki-adjacent concept is for hanahaki to be, in essence, seasonal allergies except the thing you're allergic to is feelings and the main treatment is catharsis, usually coming from talking it out with someone, and the dense motherfuckers treatment, for people who don't know what triggered it, is to spend quality time with friends and do other things that would serve to make someone feel better. (So theoretically, a person with a very solid understanding of themselves, who is always honestly expressing their feelings and who has a good support system in place, would never get such allergies)

So for some it's a one and done kind of ailment and for others it comes and goes...something that isn't necessarily deadly but can be quite irritating depending on what you end up with

The comedy potential...the angst potential...the combination comedy-grief of having fits of funerary flowers on an anniversary...the gap moe of a very serious icy person having their stone-faced facade crack because they sneeze and a teeny little flower pops into existence...

Years ago I made notes for a genshin fic but currently I am in Naruto hell so I'm like u know what. I think the funniest possible thing is for the Uchiha to be either really good at not catching feelings-allergies out of sheer self-presevation or really uniquely blursed in that not only are they prone to being super deep in their feelings (it's a whole thing!), they also tend to keep to themselves, so the odds are good that at any given moment an Uchiha somewhere is just. Going thru it. Having to experience the mortifying ordeal of being known. Do you think that kind of thing would stop the momentum that lead to the Uchiha massacre (because they're very scary competent but they also have massive amounts of gap moe because you can't watch someone stubbornly refusing to acknowledge a steadily growing pile of flowers without like. feeling like you've come to relate to them a little bit.)

Team 7 watching Sasuke with morbid fascination because he's trying to stubborn it out...nods very seriously... (Madara would be a funny one as well) (You'd think Obito would catch it but actually it's Kakashi, and he hates it) (the most alarming patient would be Naruto because he looks like he should have his heart on his sleeve, and he does, but there's also some stuff that he keeps close to his chest...)

The world accidentally saved for the time being because Madara cannot stop hiccuping small blossoms and it's. What do you even do with this. And whenever they treat him it keeps coming back and it keeps getting a little more dramatic every time, and then eventually they drag a confession out of him in front of whatever witnesses are good for plot and it's like, he's very clearly being genuine because otherwise the flowers would continue. So. What do u do when the scariest guy you know is having to be vulnerable

(The other funny one would be Tobirama for the gap moe but u know. Scary Ghost Man attempts to hide his emotional allergies and fails in an accidentally comedic and possibly heartbreaking fashion)
