HUMANS
TELL ME HOW YOU CHEER EACH OTHER UP WHEN YOU'RE BEING PATHETIC AND SAD
I HAVE TRIED TO FEED MINE FOOD AND OFFER TO FIGHT HIM MULTIPLE TIMES BUT NEITHER OF THESE TACTICS HAVE WORKED
HIS SAD FEELINGS ARE ANNOYING AND MUST BE PUT TO AN END HOW DO I MAKE THEM STOP?

no it's an awful joke
i'm not gonna use it

[unalign]

Are other kinds of feelings better, though?

[ like feelings of annoyance, pissed off ... gotta look at the bigger picture here ]

[arrancar]

yea they are ( ??? )

[unalign]

Then the joke may be awful enough that they'd stop feeling sad about it and start feeling something else.

Humans have varied reactions when one attempts to make them laugh with bad jokes.

[arrancar]

you aren't fuckin with me are you?

[unalign]

I don't see any reason to do that when you seem genuine enough with your confusion.

[arrancar]

i've never had to cheer anyone up so this is all pretty fuckin annoying

[unalign]

It sounds like you've never asked them personally what would make them cheer up, though.

[arrancar]

( that's because he didn't want to ask. )

we aren't friends so he wouldn't tell me even if i ask

[unalign]

If you're not friends, then why are you very concerned about it?

[ denial is not just a river in another world ]

[arrancar]

i'm not concerned i'm annoyed

( there's a difference. )

[unalign]

[ concern can be shown in various ways, but!! she doesn't say that ]

All right, but have you told them their sad feelings are annoying you?

[arrancar]

( #Doubt )

yes i have ( it ain't like he's been walking on eggshells around him. he isn't that sensitive. )

[unalign]

[ debatable ]

And?

[arrancar]

and nothing

he was still sad

[unalign]

Hm

[ communication is the key to success here tbh ]

You really need to talk to them and ask what's wrong. Or, you know, just annoy them back so they're no longer sad.

[arrancar]

fine i'll talk to him

( it seems to be the popular vote. )

[unalign]

Good luck! 🥳 If that doesn't work, I still have bad jokes that you can use on him.

[arrancar]

( he might give the fish one a shot.

in any case, he'll hold her to it. )
