Flower language

I was listening to “he loves me (he loves me not)” by Babybugs and got this idea. I wanted to make a flower symbolism art. I wanted to make this look like a book illustration, so that’s why there’s those lines along the characters. Either way kinda glad on how this turned out. :3👍

Primroses[Eternal love] Gardena[Secret love]

Pink tulips[Friendship] Marigolds[Sadness and Grief]

Green carnation[Love between men] Moonflowers[Dreaming of love]

(Btw plz NO reposting my art but you can reblog it if u want)

Sebastian is expressing his love for Ciel through flowers

When looking back at all of Yana's previous artworks, where she depicts Sebastian and Ciel often in pictures with flowers, many have debated the significance of flower symbolism in Yana's pieces. While Yana has said that she enjoys playing with flower symbolism in Black Butler art, she never quite stated the reason behind that. It was not until a while ago when I found this information about the significance of flower language in the Victorian era that I understood how much Yana pays close attention to historical context:

"In the Victorian era, when expressing emotions was often considered inappropriate, the giving of flowers was a common way to convey feelings without speaking them aloud." (source).

this gives further meaning to all the flower symbolism Yana uses in her pieces. It's not merely an artistic choice, and it's not merely her liking flowers. It is part of the narrative. Back in the Victorian era, flower language was the most common way people expressed emotions because being open about emotions was improper, especially in high social classes.

which means that her flower drawings with Sebastian and Ciel have way more textual meaning with the flower language. It even gives it an explanation through the lens of the story, rather than her artistic choice. If given an explanation through the narrative, Sebastian may be gifting all those flowers to Ciel as a way to express something in particular. And if we remember correctly, he's gifted him yellow mimosas (they symbolize secret love), and of course, Yana's most recent artwork where Sebastian is giving Ciel a bright red rose in a cup of tea (Which symbolizes romantic love, lust, desire, passion). Perhaps Yana's flower symbolism is tied even more to the story per se because it's saying that the flowers are Sebastian's way of expressing his repressed feelings towards Ciel. This ties more into the theory that Sebastian's character development slowly ties into the fact that he cannot explain why all of a sudden he's falling in love with this mortal human.

Here's the mimosa art, for a deeper look into it. Ciel is wearing the mimosas over his head, in something that might appear to be a hat. Who is the only person who dresses Ciel? Sebastian, of course. Sebastian made sure to delicately place those yellow mimosas over Ciel's head. He wanted to make sure Ciel received the flowers, if not the message.

And a closer look into the new GFantasy cover. The position of the red rose takes significance because it's in a teacup, which means that Sebastian directly handed Ciel the rose, since he is the one that always makes Ciel his afternoon tea. He gave Ciel that rose because he wanted Ciel to notice.

Thus, the historical context takes on more significance when considering what could've been considered an "impropriety" and therefore not morally correct to declare out loud. Sebastian appears before Ciel with yellow mimosas and red roses, while trying to subtly convey the message that he is, indeed, in love with him.

Silvans send messages using flower language. I’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.

Imagine Sam and Legolas sending each other bouquets of flowers after the quest, and everyone’s either delighted at their friendship or low key worrying that there’s an affair going on.

Turns out they’re shit talking and gossiping with each other in flower.

Sam: *receives an intricate bouquet *

Sam’s daughter: wow, it’s so pretty papa! Who ever sent you this must like you a lot!

The bouquet: Gimli and Aragorn got into a drinking competition again and lost. Badly. I got so much money.

The rest of the questers eventually catch on and it leads to things like this:

Gimli: *pissed off* *storms into Legolas’s study* *slams hand down* how do i passive aggressively say “fuck you” in flower?

Legolas: *vibrating with excitement* My Time Has Come.

Yellow blooms & violet thorns

Amidst a sea of golden dreams we danced, our love a tapestry woven in sunlit hues. But beneath the weight of disillusion, we found ourselves adrift in a garden of thorns, where the once vibrant petals whispered tales of bitter truths

Jenny of oldstones

I found an old piece for Jenny that I never posted! She is one of my absolute fav characters her story is so sad but it’s still beautiful. In my notes for it the flowers in her hair are representative of madness, undying love, love, grief, consuming love, and sorrow.

💐 / sherliam, flower language

when married to a guy whose mind palace only stores flowers with poison/medicinal value

I recently got a book, “Floriography: An Illustrated Guide to Victorian Language of Flowers” and it was fun applying it here! I imagine Liam knows Sherly doesn’t really bother to remember flower language, so incorporates Sherly’s knowledge of poisons/medicinal herbs for the fun of it!

#if liam wants flowers I imagine he also wants Sherly to have some fun with them too lol #imagine their apartment like some flowers on display at the window but then you see some ground up or in chemistry glasses #also imagine liam putting together the most unconventional bouquets with poisonous plants but most interesting meanings #btw one last note #cornflower + honeysuckle = true devotion to a loved one #yuukoku no moriarty #moriarty the patriot #sherliam #liam james moriarty #ynm sherlock Holmes #language of flowers #flower language #EDIT orz I just noticed I forgot to color in one lapel on sherly #I crossposted everywhere already too lazy to re upload
