Undertale AU Characters as Flowers
So i got hyperfixated on flowers meanings and it has taken over my life so here is my favorite little guys as flowers
Flower meanings are based on the flower and then its color, so like red roses mean something different than yellow roses, but both relate to love. Also differnt cultures have different meanings for flowers. This was a nightmare to reasearch, lots of conflicting info.
(Note that some flowers seemingly have confilcting meanings, this is cause often their meanings can be affected by what other flowers are around them, like in a bouquet and shit. Also i will not accepting criticism :) )
Anyways lets go!
Ink - Marigolds
So marigolds represent joy, excitement, creativity and Energy, while also being associated with grief, despair, and mourning. This fits Ink very well, he a very bright person while having one of the fucking sadesst backstory like ever. Also they are assocatied with protection and I think that fun with his protecter of the multiverse thing.
Blue - Bluebells & Blue Dahlias
Bluebells represent resilience, strength, overcoming adversity, growth, along with humility, constancy, gratitude, and kindness. This feels kinda self explaintory cause Blue is a very power dude and a very kind person, so bluebells are perfect for him
I picked blue dahlias mainly for their symbolism of standing out from the crowd, though its other meanings also apply, change, strength, fresh start, inner strength, positive change, and commitment. Cause like out of the whole mutiverse of Sans and even other swaps Blue managed to fight along side some of the most power people and holds up against people like Nightmare and Error. He is truly unquie to the other swaps and i wanted this flower to represent that. Can you tell i really like Blue. (Also ignore that true blue dahlias dont exist, truly wild that one can find flower meanings for a flower that doesn't exist, there are blueish green dahlias :P )
Dream - Yellow Chysanthemums & Purple Hyacinths
Yellow chysanthemums represent happiness, joy, celebration, the sun. light, friendship, and optism, along with neglected love, sorrow, rebirth, and protector. This fits really well with Dream cause on the surface he is a sweet cheerful guy, literally the embodiment of postitivity but he also feels a lot of grief and guilt for what happen to his brother. Which is further emphasized by the purple hyacinths, wich repesent sorrow, regret, and a desire foe forgiveness. Also by complete accident his flowers are yellow and purple, like how he and nightmare were when they were kids.
Nightmare - Astrantia, Black Dahlias, & Black Roses
So the astrantias reprsent passive, cause like they represent strength, innocence, courage, magic, and protection, along with assocaitions with stars and the night sky. It represents all he couls have been if not for what happened. very sad
Now for the black dahlias and roses. Black dahlias represent betrayal, saddness, change, beauty, power, and negative emotions. Black roses represent death, despair, hatred, revenge, mourning, loss, rebirth, tragedy, regret, elegance, and mystery. these represent who is becomes after his corruption and the "death" of passive, he's angry and hurting and he lashes out at those around him. He feels betrayed both by the villagers and by Dream, but he is also mourning who he was and his brother. Also he's hot and powerful so like.
Anyways ill do the rest later cause its like 2:30 and im tired.

Ah. Well, there it is!
Okay, let’s take this from the top.
(cut for length)
Another thing I said previously in this episode was that I felt that Lilith takes their conflict a lot more seriously than Eda does. But here, Eda’s immediate response to Lilith offhandedly bringing up her attempts to catch Eda is to get defensive and assume the worst.
There’s barely concealed hurt in her voice, to the point where she almost sounds as though she’s holding back tears, and she’s genuinely surprised when Lilith denies her assumption. As much as she cracks jokes and plays it lighthearted about their constant fighting, it must weigh quite heavily on her too.
Lilith’s change in her approach to getting Eda to join the coven since her last few appearances has me wondering: is this because she had the chance to bond with Eda again in this episode, or was she already considering asking Eda directly to join the coven from the start?
It’s also interesting that this comes shortly after her last appearance in Episode 8, which left her incredibly frustrated with Eda all around. I wonder if she put two and two together eventually and figured out that it wasn’t actually Eda she was talking to back then? That may have led her to think that she might have a chance of convincing Eda to join her if she asked her personally, without any bodyswap weirdness interfering.
Now, we come to Lilith’s last line. While the mystery from the end of Episode 5 still remains, what she says here does confirm one thing: Lilith believes that the Emperor can fix Eda’s curse. Lilith thinks that if Eda were to join the Emperor’s Coven, not only would she no longer be a criminal, but her life could be saved. (As it is, Eda doesn’t seem to have any way to get rid of the curse on her own. As Lilith said back in Episode 5, her days are numbered.)
And this has led me to consider an interesting implication that this whole situation has about their conflict. To some degree, it is fundamentally based on differences in their ideologies. Eda hates the coven system, while Lilith has flourished in it. But, at the same time, there’s no indication that Lilith has any strong feelings about covens themselves.
She sees value in playing a part in the system in order to mentor the next generation, but I don’t think she’s said much (or anything, really) in praise of the coven system. The reasons she’s given for wanting Eda to join the Emperor’s Coven have nothing to do with the coven and everything to do with Eda herself. Eda joining the coven would clear her of being a criminal, Eda joining the coven might save her life.
I think that, while Eda’s refusal to join a coven and hatred of every part of the school/coven system is purely based on her own moral and ideological standards, Lilith’s own stance has much less to do with what she thinks is right (despite her position as leader of the coven that serves as part of law enforcement) and much more to do with people.
In a coven, she can lead others, supportive headpats and all, and play the role of mentor to promising young witches. Plus, in Lilith’s mind, joining a coven would solve all Eda’s problems. None of this implies that she thinks covens are inherently good, though it is true that she considers being part of one to be beneficial, and that she trusts in the system. I think, in a way, Lilith just takes the system as a given, and works within it because it’s easier, while Eda can’t get past all the problems she sees with it, no matter how tough that makes life for her.
Their motivations come from different places, and I think that may fuel their conflict even further because neither of them really understands what the other is thinking. Eda dismisses Lilith’s perspective because she can see that what Lilith is doing is wrong. Why would she perpetuate a system that’s rotten from the ground up? Does she have no sense of morality? Meanwhile, Lilith thinks that Eda is frustrating because she can’t understand why Eda would act in a way that’s actively harmful to herself on a personal level. Things would be so much easier for her if she just joined a coven, why can’t she see that?
Hmm. This got pretty long. I’m not sure how much this holds up overall, but these two have such interesting characters and I keep having thoughts about them that beg to be shared. I’m sure there’s more to come, too!
Man, this episode is good.
