Splatoon 3 Promokids Lovelanguage Headcanon Thing

i really dont know how to title stuff.

Anyways, just below the lovely "Keep Reeading" button is a list of what I think each of the promokids' favorite forms of love language are and a brief explanation as to why!

Veronika

Favorite to give: Acts of Service

Favorite to recieve: Physical Touch/Words of Affirmation

Vero is literally just too awkward to initiate anything else, so they'd rather silently help with chores or something similar. They also have an underlying need to prove themselves constantly and a desire to feel needed somewhere.

They do still admit that they love getting hugs and cuddles even if they're unbearably awkward about it. Also, there's a 50/50 chance they burst into tears if you tell them "I'm proud of you" (just ask anyone in NSS) because those are words they almost never hear.

Hiro

Favorite to give: Quality Time/Acts of Service Favorite to receive: Quality Time/Physical Touch

Hiro just adores their friends and loves spending time with them. They also like feeling useful and tries to help around a lot. It's partially driven by feelings of self-doubt and a need to prove themselves- wait a second I've heard this before.

If Veronika is awkward, Hiro is fucking mortifying. (Joking! Kinda-) The difference is Hiro is absurdly awkward with physical intimacy because they're touch starved. Veronika is just kinda awkward with social interactions in general sometimes. Anyways, Hiro is a simple creature: they just wanna be the little spoon when cuddling.

Anemone

Favorite to give AND receive: Quality Time/Physical Touch

There's not much of an explanation needed here. She just loves causing mischief of any kind with friends. She's also just a very physical person in general, so she's constantly fistbumbing, high-fiving, arm punching, light elbowing- Ok you get the point. She likes bops and boops.

Likes to box her friends, nothing serious but will just kinda playfully jab at them like a cat slapping it's owner. Usually they just let it happen or jab back.

TakoTruck

Favorite to give: Acts of Service/Words of Affirmation Favorite to recieve: Gifts

She has like 5 million different skills from the many, many, many, unique experiences she's had during her more nomadic lifestyle, so she'll gladly put them to use to help her friends. Also makes sure to go out of her way and say how much she appreciates everyone because she knows that they might not always hear it.

She still struggles with not crying whenever she gets a gift, and will 100% shed at least 1 tear if she gets a handmade gift of any kind.

Stephanie

Favorite to give: Gifts/Acts of Service Favorite to receive: Quality time

She has the money to buy basically anything, which is great because she can get her friends practically whatever they want, including services like housecleaning and catering, but at the same time receiving gifts don't necessarily hit the same for her because she can buy anything. If Steph says "I gotchu!" then you'll never know hardship again.

So instead, she does love spending any sort of time with anyone. She doesn't get a lot of quality time, or much time at all, with her family, so she's down for basically anything to distract her from that.

Calamar

Favorite to give: Gifts Favorite to receive: Words of Affirmation

They're surprisingly attentive despite their aloof appearance, so they remember small details from random conversations that lets them pick the perfect gifts.

They're still a really simple person too. If you tell them "good job!" that will be the highlight of their day. Also they didn't get a lot of affirmation from their parents so...

Yarwhal

Favorite to give AND receive: Quality time

They did not get much time with their parents because they died while Wally was really young, so they treasure literally any time at all with the people close to them.

Kayoss

Favorite to give: Words of Affirmation Favorite to receive: Acts of Service

He's really busy a lot of the time, so words are most convenient. Also he very much realizes that his friends really, really need someone to verbally acknowledge all the things they do, and is more than happy to do so.

He loves acts of service because it helps him manage his workload a bit easier.
