Women are emotional creatures, at least according to the thinking of Problem Sleuth's time; as such PS and the Pickle Inspector's female counterparts are each prone to particular emotional states which can hinder and sometimes help their progress. These states can also be helped and hindered through the use of certain items, which might necessitate the swapping of items between the women.

Hysteria[]

The Hysterical Dame's hysteria spikes when she is put in proximity to bladedPS icon weapons,PS icon making her a potential danger to those around her, and making it difficult for her to think straightPS icon long enough to engage in puzzle solving. Thankfully - or perhaps inconveniently - a knife that duals as a teddy bearPS icon can be a handy soothe for hysteria; a less effective but less dangerous strategy might also be screaming into a pillow.PS icon

The apparent link between chainsaws and hysteria is briefly alluded toHS in Homestuck.

The Nervous Broad's nerves are triggered by stressful situations such as societal beauty expectationsPS icon and the threatening male gaze:PS icon the nerves gauge is also very easy to fill, the entire meter consisting of only three pips. Like hysteria, high nerves debilitate NB's ability to freely engage in adventuring, but they can be soothed easily be putting NB in situations she enjoys, such as observing her collectionPS icon of Fancy Santas.

Also like hysteria, a teddy bear can be a good remedyPS icon for a nervous state; in contrast to hysteria, however, nerves also have technical applications. A filled nerves gauge, or the use of nerves-based communal attacks like Nervous BreakdownPS icon - in which NB uses a teddy bear not just to console herself but console everyone down with [her] - can result in the awarding of worry pointsPS icon, which further allow the unlocking of Nervetechs. NB's only known Nervetech is Case of the Vapors, which seemingly culminates in the flamethrower/paint stripper-fueled Comb Rave HIGHLY FLAMMABLE CASE OF THE VAPORS.PS icon
