Here's the crack post answer: Linda's Love Song

(Or google Bob's Burgers Linda valentines day song if you want)

As for truthful answer I imagine for the PSL it's two parts generally getting along, one part awkward misunderstandings, a dash of explosive arguments and a healthy side of alien coercion.

IF U WANT DETAILS SEE EXISTING AND SOON TO BE EXISTING THREADS

As for Komui in the Box, I imagine that Jo is secretly amused by his eccentricity, what the fuck is his deal, is he actually that crazy or is he just doing that thing where people snap for a while...???

And how do people actually follow his lead because she could use some minions, too. :U

Care enough so people know you're not sending them to die hopelessly, but don't care just enough so their personal quarrels won't interfere with the good of the whole

And know what you're talking about!

It also helps if everyone else at your paygrade is either rubbish or a monster

There isn't anybody else in her paygrade -- everybody here who knows the things she knows isn't a student, they're a brainiac. >:C Let her feast upon your knowledge Komui, she needs it to grow strong!

:< there's enough types of vampires about that he doesn't want a knowledge vampire near hi too

Petty excuses!

but if that's a request to become his apprentice...

You'll put a cap of screaming wrinkled flesh on your head but you won't sit around for an hour or two a day and talk about what you're good at?! Highly unlikely!!

hope she knows how to work hard!

(That icon, D: )

the best way to teach your mind is to teach your hands at the same time, he feels

Hope he knows how to deal with being beaten at his own game!!

(Or at least be talked a big game to)

many have tried~

none have succeeded

but he'll happily work with collaborators

he misses his science team ):

At least making friends is like scavenging for parts!

you grab one that doesn't look too damaged and then fit it in so that the gloriosu machine that is your existence can run a little better

Exactly, it streamlines certain processes.

but better than that, it can make life more beautiful!

efficiency isn't the only metric to measure something's worth

Pff, save that for once it's working properly.

he prefers to work on all of it at once

multitasking to make either something magnificent or something no one else could love but him

I'm guessing the latter.

:<

how could you distrust his talents so?

(yes)

Because she's not him???

everyone should take his word when he tells them how good he is

....

Your red food dye privileges are being revoked, Komui.

Alternatively: Does he trust anybody else's word when they tell him how good they are?

trusts them

but makes sure to get a demonstration as soon as possible

;D

...Not necessarily a bad strategy, but it doesn't account for the number of pulsating assholes living in the box. :J

she has such a way with words~

btw

what does she mean by grabs?

you never know if the grabs are gonna be ten feet tall

Link me back? I'm just off work and my brain isn't connecting dots on its own right now.

Or if it's the PSL just PP link me?

ha ha ha that was supposed to be 'crabs'. XD

okay, now it makes sense!

Yeah, phonetic similarities must have tweaked my fingers to the wrong key.

I... do that a lot. X3
