NOTE~! Please disregard my Mood status... I'm not able to change it at the time. It should be some happy and amused mood.

Was watching my brother play Persona 4 again today, and one of the emotes that you see over someones heads in the game while talking to them (apart from sweatdrops and pulsing veins and the like) is flowers.
A character did that emote that...she's too serious to imagine her doing that.
So now we've confirmed that flowers instantly make people impossible to take seriously...

Now while it's modified from the emote, humor me.
1) Imagine the most SERIOUS person you can think of.
2) Now stick a flower on their head (like what happens when they're hit with Lip's Stick in Smash Bros.)....
- Tell me, can you still take their face seriously?

have a giggle! I quickly ran through the following characters in my head
Shadow the Hedgehog (from the Sonic games)
Ren Amami (From the Karin anime...or from the Chibi Vampire manga)
Odel Lucius Ninecry (my own creation)

I actually did a doodle of Odel scowling with a flower on his head. "This are serius bizniss!" no... not serious at all
