#even tho there’s only one flower

[ryssbelle]

Does the flower from your first n2 post have any significance? Why isn't it blooming?

Yes the flower here does have significance!

It’s a memorial flower, the exact species of flower is one I made up, it’s one that has a strange growth period, there’s no real way to tell when it’s going to bloom but it does only bloom at night.

John Dory got the seeds while on one of his searches and gave it to Floyd since at the time Floyd was severely depressed and was spending all day everyday in his room in the bunker. JD had given Floyd a bunch of seeds for a garden but Floyd ended up only planting one which he’s been taking care of since he planted it.

He planted it on Clays birthday so they refer to it as Clay’s flower, but it’s a memorial for all their lost family members, so their parents, grandma, Clay, and Spruce/Bruce

Other than just maintaining it, Floyd also talks to it like the ones they lost can hear him through the flower, he visits it at least once everyday while the other brothers only visit on anniversaries and birthdays. (They also only bring the lights and photos out then as well, to keep the photos safe from damage)

It’s Floyd’s way of grieving :)

#ryss responds #not the only one au #n2 au #trolls #trolls 3 #trolls band together #trolls Floyd #I wanted to give them each a different way of grieving their family #JD is obsessively trying to correct his mistake (failing to save clay) by trying to find him and spruce if they’re still out there #branch isolates and builds a bunker to protect himself and what family he has left #and Floyd does gardening #they also refer to the area where the flower is as the garden or Floyd’s garden #even tho there’s only one flower #the area around the flower is also heavily booby trapped #the only people who know how to get to it are the brothers and poppy #this is to stop trolls from accidentally harming it and to stop critters from eating it #its a big flower by troll standards but by others its a small flower #in my head its one of those that are usually in clusters #but this one stands alone #maybe its a metaphor #who knows teehe #but yeah I’ve actually thought about the flower a lot #also the reason poppy knows where to find it and how to get to it is because she helps take care of it when Floyd’s away #she’s also the one who picked the spot #she doesn’t like the traps but any one she took down immediately got replaced so she stopped trying #and just learned the steps to get around them #btw the steps to get around the traps are the old choreo for a brozone song lmao #because I loved that aspect of tbgo where branch sets the paths around traps to songs from his childhood #so he done did it again

this PSA is brought to u, by first year farmer ・゚ *✧

#fsds just kidding i love how welcoming robin was too; even offering table with her family during the stardew valley eve #but no red carpet can be more welcoming than local grandma who smells like flowers and cookies and take u as her grandchild from day 1 #i thought linus was sketchy at first but then i almost cry because he is the only one drag me back home when i am dying in mine alone #with no one knowing or care where am i #sdv #stardew valley #sdv evelyn #sdv farmer #stardew evelyn #stardew farmer #stardew valley evelyn #stardew valley farmer #fanart #surely it was sketchy at first the way ur money and things are gone #but after knowing linus u get to trust him that he was sincere helping u #it really was like this homeless man cares for me more than anyone in this village #*tho reasonable bcs he's the only one actively foraging for things to live & coincidentally u are one of the thing he found #but i can imagine by the way i was playing; first few months arriving at the valley farmer just keep spending time sitting beside linus #contemplating about life #like second homeless person in the valley #if there's a popularity poll for stardew villagers; evelyn should be top number 1 no discussion #for someone who started stardew valley without any interest of the bachelor/rettes this is how i feel

#Doodles #Handplates #UT #Fellplates #Gaster #Asgore #The thought of Gaster able to heal himself! Rather to only have himself to rely on in a world that lives to hurt him (and everyone else) #It's an interesting inversion that's for sure #Is it as satisfying if it's not the one who deserves the broken bones?

jumping off the back of the post about genres of song lyrics, another thing about tmbg's lyrics in particular is that even when they write about pleasant themes, they still manage to frequently do so through a sinister lens:

the experience of having children and looking after them:

a nice little nightlight protecting a child muses on the shortcomings it would have outside its assigned responsibility:

fantasising about getting high in the park with your crush:

#tmbg #AND. I love it. #please feel free to add to this btw. I feel like there's more flansburgh examples but they're dropping out of my head #I've gone on and on about ''sleeping in the flowers'' already. so I won't repeat myself too much in the tags here #but I can also see how it's intended to come across as playful. like. #it's two people in love having a silly exchange between each other #I also like the little interlude from the nightlight's lullaby-of-sorts to the child to describing how it would make a really bad lighthous #''man it's a good thing I'm not one of those. I'm too small. if I did that then people at sea would crash and drown horribly hahaha #anyway good night'' #and actually re: nanobots. it only just occurred to me #I'd gotten 'newborn citizenship of the micronations'' being a verbose way to describe. babies lol #but is the start of verse about the actual birth of a child and getting so distracted by the preparation and stress #that you almost forget oh yeah. I have this kid now :) #and thinking about how even tho your worries around that are now over you'll focus instead on all the future responsibilities you'll have #how does something written in such a detatched way manage to be so sweet

pinterest keeps warning me that there's a pin which has self-harm in it and i finally searched for what the pin was. it was a quote from kafka. pinterest - do you... hate kafka?????

#i swear i'm one step away from deleting my account (not only bc of the kafka hate lmao but they always message me like "oh a pin has some #*problematic shit in them #and then it's literally like a quote that is sad or a slightly violent meme #i'll just save flowers and trees from now on... even though a tree COULD POTENTIALLY fall onto someone's head... and a flower could be #*poisonous) #god this turned slightly salty i'm just joking but it *is* actually pissing me off (without having effects on my blood pressure tho so...) #johnny's silly rambles #cw self harm mention

actually the more I think about it the more lord squak airavis' complete chaos makes complete sense bc lou is truly one of the best at sticking to his guns. like when it comes to character choices no one is more willing to dive off the cliff's edge and hope they find a parachute on the way down. thrilling to watch him play a character with no scruples and a zest for drama, esp with aabria Oh We're In It Now dm'ing - I can't wait to see just how disastrous (delicious) it'll get

#lord squak airavis #lou wilson #acofaf #a court of fey and flowers #out of all of the pcs squak is the only one that is truly like. What The Fuck Will You Do. #cause emily is always so party focused lol even in this game she just is such a great teamplayer #but lou? literally built his character to be For The Fuck Of It #literally what the fuck wont squak do is the real question. the answer is probably fuck over chirp and thatsssss about it #when we see him get all tender w his betrothed on their midnight stroll tho...........loudpfd;gjdfg #text post #literally there is not a season that lou doesn't break my heart w how raw he gets with his character. fuck

Ya know, Fandoms are kinda just like a thrift store. Lots of stuff with varying quality, style, and age but then you’ll see just blood stained jeans shorts and wonder Why????

Like thats alittle problematic, why did you donate this here?? What even happened in the first place?

Ya proceed to bolt away from the crime scene to then find another pair of jeans shorts, just in your size, with cute embroidered flowers all over the pockets.

Its a mixed bag but if the bag was left open in a park for anyone to interpret its use as they like and drop in any stuff as they like.

#fandom #fandoms #thrift stores #I’m still scared of those blood stained jean shorts #like at least mine just have fish blood on them #but those ones DIDNT look like fish blood #I even saw a bloody military uniform with a bullet hole in it 😭 #The flower shorts are real tho #only 4 bucks! #worth

Calculating characters’ ages so they fit into the timeline of the fic my beloathed.

#Personal #Was Born To Lead #OKAY #If I calculated everything right Felicia might appear in the flashbacks or at least be mentioned in one of the next chapters of WBTL #I pretend she was Elena’s peer or 1-2 years older/younger than her so she’s around 60 years old in season 3 #I need the period of her life when she still danced aka when Ricardo was still alive #And I pretend he was around 30-35 when it happened because he actually looks pretty young #Anyway if he was older that’s not super bad because I can easily adjust my characters’ ages a little #unless he was older than forty tho #And if he was younger it makes things a lot more complicated #Ugh integrating your own characters and the ideas you have for them into canon and make them interact with the canon characters is hard T_T #(only if you care about canon otherwise you can easily screw everything up and be happy) #Honestly I didn’t even think of including Felicia but I recently rewatched all the Spirit World episodes #because I need to remember more of the Spirit World lore #(for reasons~) #and I realized that she might complement one of my characters’ arcs quite well #Complement not expand #And generally I’d like to have more canon characters in my fic even if they’re minor #Ajshdkkd and about Flower of Light again #You’re gonna hear the story of my stupidness #So I needed to find a Latin American dance that wouldn’t be a partner dance because I needed one of my characters to dance it alone #And oh my goodness I found zapateado!!! I spent so much time for that and felt so so smart and proud then! #And then I rewatched Flower of Light #Ricardo and Felicia danced zapateado the exact same dance that I found #I completely forgot they already had this dance in the show #I could easily save the time I spent for searching by just rewatching the show T_T #I felt SO stupid then really :’D #I just should rewatch the entire show to pay more attention to all the little Latin American things they put there #It will make my writer’s life significantly easier

Forever love the idea of Kae being an absolute nerd once you get to know him. Dude acts all suave and charming, then upon getting home, his time is most preferred spent reading the latest rec Jean’s given him with a cup of tea in hand and a plushy tucked under his chin. Or is constantly abt .5 seconds away from infodumping or smth, esp the more he gets attached to sb.

#hc; kaeya #//Sb in the knights brings up an obscure fact & Kae has to restrain himself from dumping MORE on the subject #//And/or giddily making plans to investigate it with Lisa later first chance he gets #//I love the idea of him Immediately after finding out Jean loves romance stories; he tries his hand at penning one under an alias #//Then subtly suggests it to her; and just Anxiously awaits what she thinks #//It’s canon that he does love making up stories so; so much #//Dude loves learning things; and the more he likes the person sharing/is intrigued by them; the more he’d wanna #//Love the idea of him specifically learning all abt things his favorite like just to have the connection with them #//Only to genuinely end up interested in the subject for himself and his own whims too; sometimes obsessing more than them initially #//Also loves collecting things; if I remember correct #//Has a lil stash of things he would LOVE to ramble on and in abt given the chance #//In my mind; it’s either collected feathers of birds he’s found over the years #//Or it’s dried/pressed flowers he’s managed to acquire through various means #//Maybe even both #//Do like the latter tho #//Maybe the feathers thing was something he started with Luc as kids; then kept to it out of nostalgia #//Then the plants was just his own interest throughout his journey with his dad before being left at Dawn Winery #//Everything he had collected in a little bag or hastily pressed in a book before an showed him to properly #//Wants to go back and get new flowers so they look prettier now that he actually knows how to preserve them #//And to learn abt them from people who ACTUALLY know them best; not just from books

i think its so annoying whenever ppl r reposting "aesthetic" pics of dainty thin lined pastel colors little tattoos and someone says "this would not hold up after healing/in a few years" and everyone goes "oh so youre the fun police!! who cares!! its what they want!! dont be a hater!" etc etc like.. its called information? sure the tattoo is already on the person and thats a done thing and maybe they know its gonna fade and the whites are gonna look yellow-grey and the colors are gonna blur together and its gonna be an unreadable mess and maybe theyre fine w that. but the thing is youre posting all types of pics of these brand new tattoos that still look fresh saturated and perfect and that makes ppl think its gonna actually look like that, and we know very well many ppl dont do enough research before getting a tattoo to know that it wont stay like that. its perfectly fair to point out "this style of tattoo looks good at first but it does not stay like this long term" and people should probably do it more so that those getting them dont do it under the impression that the quality is gonna remain..

#97 #yea it is ultimately ones responsibility to do their own research #but i also dont think having a shit tattoo on you for the rest of your life should be like. punishment for not doing that #we could just inform ppl more where theyre likely to see it. #now GRANTED if you are doing that its better to say 'if youre considering this style of tattoo please do your research' #'as these usually heal very differently and you will not get this as a result within a few years or even months of having it' #and not just 'its gonna look bad after a while' yeah. #tho also i think on most social media ppl do not take the time to leave lengthy & nuanced comments anyway #at least when it gets to black fine line tattoos some of them heal well and dont blow out and smudge to hell tho its not the default #but the ones that are just like. the tiniest little flower in only light colors no black ink? #sorry but theres a reason you NEVER see healed pictures of those like properly several months/years healed..

Ok did some fact checking and yeah unless I missed smth outside of Wendy, Walter is the character who refers to Abigail by name the most! Which is absolutely delightful news for me, the number one Abigail Walter besties believer

#rat rambles #starve posting #wurt is in second place with her saying abby-gill twice 👍 #and the only other person who reffers to her by name is webber in his sisturn dialogue where he calls it a little abigail house #wait that reminds me I forgot to check some ppls sisturn dialogue but I did word search abigiail and abby on everyone's pages #so unless wurt mentions her no one else should have brough her up? lemme go check wurt tho #ok no other abby-gill mentions #anyways back to walter even outside of him actually reffering to her by name hes the only one that rly seems to like. #actually talk to her like a person? #like dont get me wrong other characters have talked to her instead of at her but walter is like. not being weird abt it. #he just talks to her casually like he would to any other person! and I love that so much! #hes even like the only one who seems to recognize her flower as her #ok well wormwood does too weirdly enough #but I dont think anyone else properly does? wortox might tho its just kinda unclear #but yeah walter has to treat abby like a person to make up for webber saying 'wendy would have been so happy if it worked' after failing to #revive abby to her face lol #I love webber so much but he is also like 10 so its unsurprising for him to be a bit too blunt sometimes

FOR THE PROMPT anyone of your choice in teenexo + hanahaki au pls pls pls

"Fascinating," says Sym, his fingers curling around the flowers tenderly, pressing a spit-covered petal between them; his eyes are bright with curiosity and pointed down, which means he can't see whatever expression Dys is making. "Is it common, for humans to cough up flowers like this?"

"Uh," says Dys, watching Sym stroke his thumb over a large white petal, and can't find an answer.

#SAW THIS ONE LITERALLY RIGHT BEFORE WORK YESTERDAY AND ITS BEEN ON MY MIND EVER SINCE #i love hnhk op i get u. i get u #anyways u might read this and wonder if its dys/sym or dys/sol or even smth else and the answer is #who knows. im not sure even dys knows. #tfw youre fifteen and you spend all ur time w/a hot alien who calls u special #but also you have only one friend nad they seek you out over everyone else #i was thinking of nightshade for the flowers tho LMAO (has my own biases) #it is meant to be ambiguous tho. dys is an ambiguous young man #anyways ty for this one im just like. rotating it #i think tang would also be a fun character for this mostly bc i tend towards hnhk as 'repressed feeling' instead of 'unrequited love' #and i think tang has. a lot repressed LOL #tang w/hnhk that gets worse instead of better when she and sol start dating. lol #ANWYAYS #i was a teenage exocolonist #how do you writing #asks #ask memes #anon

Dude.. my ex boyfriend totally did get me into conspiracy theory shit, even if unintentionally (i think its intentional im sure he believed in that shit. Would not surprise me at all.) At the time i was already pretty isolated from anyone online who mightve countered any of my dumb spiritual or alien related beliefs because of some dumb shit i said online making most of the friends and followers i made online generally avoid me, depending on who it was. I was just a regular pagan and then he showed me this weird video with all this weird conspiracy theory symbolism in it. I looked it up later on and looked up the meaning of the symbolism and came across a whole bunch of stuff posing itself as Secret Information The US Govt Doesnt Want You To Know About, etc. And then i just fell deeper into the conspiracy theory pipeline, traded my paganism for new age beliefs, and goddamn dude. Like we both got suspended from school bc he had a dumb idea to dumb shit there and i spent my time in detention fucking. Trying to read "the emerald tablets" or whatever tf. Its all coming back to me rn.

#anyways im not about to let yall make me feel guilty for falling in this direction anymore bc i was fuckin 14 and didnt know SHIT about us #politics aside from lgbt ppl deserve rights and to live like everyone else and same w all the other minorities (even tho i probably still #had issues i needed to work on around those things. still generally i wouldve considered myself progressive but apolitical) #and i was already at the time rejecting my christian upbringing and trying out satanism and paganism and such and so #i had a very rebellious mindset at the time. i also hated authority so the first antiesrablishment thing i saw i clung to bc it was #*close enough* to how i felt. none of that shit ever outwardly stated (at the time at least) that anything was abt jewish ppl and i was #filling in the parts about 'child sex rings' to be about christians bc thats how i knew them to be like. it just like. seems so obviously #something a christian would try to do. like a creepy priest or something. i imprinted my own meaning onto it #im not saying it was good but i definitely didnt go into it and stick to it for reasons some ppl might wanna believe #i was way more on the spiritual leaning side and the ~secret spiritual meaning~ of the world. like the flower of life or fuckin. #shit like how theres. idk. a fucking disc or something thats supposed to go on top of the great pyramids that super enlightened #people can only navigate like a spaceship or some shit? #idk the mythology of it all really fucking enraptured me. and i still liked the reptilians even tho they were supposed to be evil and #apparently an antisemitic dogwhistle. i thought it was the annunaki or whatever i was supposed to hate. at least. #the opinions were pretty mixed back then. admittedly i didnt really look up other ppls opinions on that stuff other than articles ppl wrote #like no forums or anything really. which is probably a very good thing i avoided those lol. regardless i thought of the reptilians #as being more neutral but generally looking out for themselves kinda like. the way a reptile would ig. but now that ik its a dog whistle #it really took a the magic out of all of that stuff for me :/ im disillusioned to say the least lol. #all that new age shit was appropriation. christianity rebranded. or weird shit people made up about atlantis or whatever sjjsksks #my favorite was the oceanis one where theres a star system where whales and dolphins come from #like that one was my favorite to believe in dhdjjsksksbdhs #imagine being on a star planet diving around in the sea of light u_u anyways it still sounds fun shsjskskwne. #i hope that one is at least more tame. though im sure its still somehow connected to everything else which im p sure it is #dude all of this information is just resurfacing about all of this shit. i could totally write a whole thing about all the conspiracy #theories i learned about. i might if only to make fun of it all sjdjksksks #yall ever heard of FUCKING david willcocks???? #his willing cocks??????? #his fucking ass #and gaia FUCKING tv #all that dumb shit
