"add a touch of whimsy" is correct. "do something whimsy" is incorrect.

You’re mixing up your parts of speech. Whimsy is a noun (add a touch of whimsy, add a touch of salt, add a touch of “noun”) Whimsical is an adjective. Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns. I’m pretty sure “Something” in your sentence is acting as a pronoun, so you need to use an adjective form to modify it (whimsical).

the correct way to say it would be "everything do something whimsical today"

“Add whimsy to your day” “do something whimsical today” one’s a noun, one’s an adjective

You were trying to use it as an adjective (describing “something”) so it should have been “whimsical.” “Whimsy” is the noun form, which would’ve been correct if you said “add a touch of whimsy.”

its the same as like "the painting added beauty to the room" vs "do something beauty today" (even though telling someone to "do something beautiful" doesn't really make sense, but yk what i mean in a grammatical sense)

Those aren’t the same. The designer added a touch of whimsy (whimsy being the “thing” here). Let’s say the designer added a touch of colour to the room. Would you do something colour? Or would you do something colourful? One is the thing one is describing something!

“Whimsy” is actually a noun, so it can’t be used to describe “something” in that sentence. It’s the same reason we wouldn’t say “Do something beauty today” or “Do something happiness today.” If you want to describe the type of thing someone should do, the adjective is whimsical. So the grammatically correct version is ‘Do something whimsical today.’ If you mean ‘do something spontaneous,’ another natural option is ‘Do something on a whim today.’

You can have whimsy, you can be whimsical. It’s just the grammar. You do something whimsical. It’s like grace. You have grace, and you can be gracious. Like the word is slightly different depending on the sentence structure

You basically said "I'm gonna do a cook later" instead of "I'm gonna do some cooking later"

It was the right word just the wrong usage! You can “do something whimsical” or do it “with whimsy”. Another example would be to “do something seriously” or to do it “with seriousness”. They mean the same but the sentence is structured differently depending on the word you choose to use I.e. whimsy vs whimsical 🥰
