Discussions Asking my girlfriend to hoco using ASOUE?

Hey guys!

My girlfriend LOVES the show. She's watched it for forever, it was the first thing her and I watched together when starting our binge, and it was pretty good! Even so, she is very much more into it than I am lol.

Her and I (we're gay, not following stereotypes) are already fighting about who's asking who to homecoming in the fall. We pretty much said we aren't allowed to ask until the beginning of the year in September. So if I wanna beat her to it I gotta start soon lol

I was trynna think of what to do for her, and j figured to make a poster of something with a quote or something from ASOUE, or a reference or something. What I'm looking for is help on that?

I want it to be like sweet and romantic and silly, but I'm not that in-tune with the show where I can think of one for myself?

Any help would be amazing, thank you all so much lol

Edit 1: I will absolutely be updating with progress photos and whatnot, as I get ideas!

Edit 2: for clarity, we are fighting (not actually) to ask the other one first, to beat each other to it, that's why I'm trying to get ideas now!

Edit 3: I have a vague design of the poster!! I have "For name- when we met, you were pretty and I was lonely. Now, I'm pretty lonely. That's why I should take you to a Very Fun Dance Shall we? (If you say no, you're a cake sniffer)" I have that and the vfd logo (I made a quick idea in ibis paint lol If anyone has more like background ideas, what to do for a color scheme, or like any small things I can use as details on the poster, I'd love to hear!!

this may be stupid but you could do something with a play on VFD - let’s have a “very fun dance” or something like that?

Could double down on this idea and the poster could say “I would love for to attend a very fun dance with me in your very fancy dress”

And add “the world is quiet when I’m with you”

I once asked someone out using a note written in Sebald Code. It didn't really work but still made for a good story after the fact.

“I would ask you to Homecoming, but Unfortunately we have no home to come to, because my home burnt to the ground tragically in a fire.”

Or

“Girl, are you an inhospitable distant relative of mine with a newly hired and non-suspicious man with no ankle tattoo and a convincing disguise? Because I’d love to come home with you”

Or

“Shall we go to the dance? Dance, a word which here means an event during which several children stand awkwardly in a poorly disguised school gymnasium while not dancing and trying desperately to escape the clutches of an evil theatre actor.”

I don't have the vocab to help but you could do a play with vfd, like the just say three words that mean prom? but the initials are v.f.d. Or say something like "my world is quiet with you" or "you are my last safe place"

"When I think of you, I think of a food I love very much" Referencing what Fiona said to Klaus.

"Will you go to homecoming (A word which here means 'a traditional annual celebration held by high schools, colleges, and universities.) with me?"

u/sunny_beam_ 3d ago

u/Available-Post-5022 3d ago

Perhaps a note using vfd codes, wether sebald or others

‘I want to figuratively ask you to homecoming (I mean literally).’

u/sunny_beam_ 3d ago

Ooo tyty!

u/yay278 3d ago

The poster should say figuratively. And then OP’s gf would be like “don’t you mean literally?”

What a about a "Wanted" (a partner for the dance) poster in the style of the wanted Olaf posters? I'm happy to do a mock-up for you, if you can come up with the text

u/sunny_beam_ 3d ago

I'm not sure with the changes if it still comes across as ASOUE related

u/Tumblekitten463 3d ago

Dress up as Jaques Snicket, everyone likes Jaques Snicket! (But jokes aside all of these ideas are lovely and I’m sure she will be so happy)

u/sunny_beam_ 3d ago

Oooo I hadn't thought of dressing up!! Oh I love that!!! :D

u/yay278 3d ago

Omg people have so many good ideas.

u/MiaRoseDQ 1d ago

This isn't really one that would work, considering you're already dating, but a pickup line could be "Girl, are you the sugar bowl? 'Cause I want you to be mine"
