3rd Dango ( ' ' ) [Video]

[cherishedmiracle]

U-um, hello, Luceti!

[The video feed pretty much just shows a giant green blob shifting around a bit. After a few moments, the blob will flop off and reveal Nagisa's head. Sup guys. And now she will smile and wave innocently. There totally wasn't a giant dango plushie on her head nope.]

I know it's been a while, but I hope everyone enjoyed Lucetiland! I had a lot of fun and enjoyed it very much. While there, I won a bunch of these plushies of the Big Dango Family. [She proudly holds up the stuffed Kirby look-alike again.] ..W-well, not by myself of course... I had help from a few nice people. Those games were really hard... But, um... The Big Dango is a mascot for the dango food in Japan, and I love them very, very much! Aren't they so cute?! [Hugging her beloved dango now d'aaaw.]

[Suddenly, an starfishlovesu with a wooden ninja star starfish in hand bursts into the feed-]

--But whilst the Big Dango Family is very beauitful, don't you all agree that starfish are far cuter?! They even have their own theme song: Starfish, starfish, starfish, starfish, big starfish family--

[Nagisa interjects-] T-that's a knock-off!

[And then much arguing over the cuteness of dangos vs starfish begins. Feel free to voice your opinions, Luceti. CAST YOUR VOTES FOR THIS MOE EPIC DEBATE. Also, just a note, these posts will more than likely be joint threads with Nagisa and Fuuko. So just a heads up. Because they clearly must defend the title of cuteness for their beloved derpy things.

Also, starting at 1:43, if you'd like to see what the heck is going on and hear Fuuko's ripoff song- Here 8D]

Do you think pyramids and boxes are cute?

[She's thoroughly confused right now.]

[starfishlovesyou]

Pyramids and boxes have no place in a battle between starfish and dangos.

[Why would you even mention pyramids and boxes? Honestly.]

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

There's not much difference. The first one is an oval, and the second one is a star. Does it matter which one is cuter?

[cherishedmiracle]

But... they're not just ovals! They're dangos!

[Why do people keep calling them ovals and blobs?! They have eyes! 8C]

[starfishlovesyou]

Whilst the dangos might just be cute ovals, the starfish aren't just stars. They're starfish after all! Starfish!!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

What about that is a fish?

As for the dango, it doesn't change the fact that it's an oval with some lines printed on it.

[cherishedmiracle]

B-but... that's what makes them cute!

[starfishlovesyou]

[Looking down at the starfish, then back at the journal.]

It's not a fish. It's a starfish. How can you not be able to tell this?!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Well, you call it a starfish. By that reasoning, I could call her dango a watermelon.

[cherishedmiracle]

[NAGISA IS HORRIFIED BY YOUR REASONING.]

...A-a watermelon?! B-but...!

[starfishlovesyou]

That reasoning is horrendous!! Fuuko thinks you are horrible!!

[Turning to Nagisa now, sup gurl.]

Nagisa-san, this guy clearly can't understand the starfish and Big Dango Family.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Hey...

[cherishedmiracle]

Well, maybe he'll come to like them one day! It seems that right now he really likes boxes and pyramids, so..

[starfishlovesyou]

Yes!! Someday he'll realise that starfish and dangos are better than boxes and pyramids!

Do boxes and pyramids have their own songs too?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

...



Fine. Then I'll choose dango.

[cherishedmiracle]

[Yep.]

Yaaaay! Good choice! But... I wonder how the boxes and pyramids would feel... If I stopped loving the Big Dango Family or Fuu-chan stopped loving the starfish, I'm sure the dangos and starfish would be very sad.

[starfishlovesyou]

But the starfish are even cuter than the Big Dango Family!!

[That's kind of sad, the boxes and pyramids not being loved.]

I'm sure someone out there loves the boxes and pyramids!!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that someone in the world cherishes their box-chan and pyramid-chan, just like you two.

But psychologically, it makes sense that more people would find the dango cuter than the box, star, or pyramid.

[cherishedmiracle]

Ahh, yes! Probably! [Though Nagisa really can't think of how boxes and pyramids are cute. ...Maybe if you add little eyes on them though..!]

Ahhhh~ [And now just smiling. AW YEAH ANOTHER DANGO FOLLOWER.]

[starfishlovesyou]

[Meanwhile, in an AU, Negisa and Fuuka argue over their love of boxes and pyramids.]

How so?! There are many cute factors about the starfish which make them cuter than the Big Dango Family!! [You're all just against her. Sob.]

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Something's "cuteness" is often tied to its neoteny, or its retention of juvenile characteristics. In humans, that'll mean larger eyes, flatter, broader faces, smoothness, and so on. Roundness seems to be a pretty good criteria of cuteness, too.

It's okay if you like your starfish, but the dango's shape is more naturally appealing to the human instinct.

[cherishedmiracle]

[...what. So... technical. Just gonna stare, blink, and nod.]

[starfishlovesyou]

[Neo... Teny? ...

...

...What is he saying? She seems to understand that he's saying the dango are cuter, so she shakes her head. Slowly. With a blank look.]

"Dangos look more like babies, so of course people will think they're cuter."
