A bouquet of red spider lillies, forget-me-nots, purple hyacinth, deadly nightshades and white lillies
Tumblr media
Why these flowers were chosen and their meaning: Spider lillies: Death, final goodbyes etc. Often used in funerals and grown around cemeteries.
Forget-me-nots: self-explanatory, but also a symbol of true love. Which in this case is subverted.
Purple hyacinth: deep sorrow, regret and a desire for forgiveness. I think this one's particularly interesting because it doesn't symbolize her directly but is, rather, very strongly tied to the impact her death had.
Deadly nightshade: also self-explanatory. Symbolises betrayal. In addition -- a plant that's (both in her universe and ours) historically been used for its poisonous properties.
White lillies: purity of the departed, when talking about death. Also for white of snow.
Four out of five flowers here are a popular choice for funerals/are associated with death. She died really young, betrayed, at the hands of the person she loved and trusted a lot, so I thought it would be fitting. Also in terms of color -- all of these together in a boquet would look like a splatter of blood on snowy and rocky terrain, which is fitting to the circumstances of her death as well.
Description:
This character died more than three thousand years the story she is from takes place. She is related to the protagonists in two ways: first is that she's probably their great-...-great grandparent's sister. Second is that they (2 twins) look very similar to her in terms of facial features.
This is significant because the guy who killed her ends up surviving and meeting them.
He's a changed man at that point. But at that singular moment when he sees one of the twin's faces for the first time, he has to Contemplate and battle a bajillion flashbacks. Which is a good thing because otherwise he would've probably ended up killing said twin. So, indirectly, she also saved her great-..-nephew's life at least once.
She lives on, very strongly, in her killer's (former lover's) memory. It's not a "haunting" or even "regret or sorrow" sort of thing, per se, but it is there. What matters the most is that he denies himself the thoughts of her because he can't admit to making a (ginormous) mistake and also because even if he wanted forgiveness, there's no one left to give it. So he just represses it further.
So that guy could become what he wanted to become above all else, one had to give up what they treasured most -- could be a thing, a person, or an action. So her killer had to trick her and then carve out her heart and eat it in order to prove his loyalty to his overlords and gain what he desired. Problem is -- he ended up detesting that as well (for other reasons). So not only was her death tragic, it was also essentially for nothing.
Her actual personality has been erased through time (fancy for "she's defined more by the impact she's made rather than by her actual self") but she did have an affinity for magic and was also very fond of crows.
TLDR: woman killed, influences the rest of the story in many unforseen ways, gives killer ptsd which he denies having for the rest of his extremely long life until he doesn't.

Eye Color: Blue Im so sorry
Faunus Trait: Monkey Tail
Occupation: Haven student, Junior Detective, Boy band lead singer
Previous Occuppation: Thief (wanted for arrest in 5 places)
Long ago in a distant land, there once was a clan of nomads that traveled the desert. On one of their travels, they found a crying rock. Wondering how a simple rock could make such a sound, the strongest of their number took his weapon and struck the rock with all his might! The rock was split in two, and inside was a baby monkey faunus that had been crying all along. Not knowing where the baby had came from, the nomads decided to keep the boy and raise him as one of their own. This is the legend of Sun Wukong.
The boy was the most free spirited and reckless child the nomads had ever raised. While the nomads had taught all of their children that theft was okay as long as it was done out of nessacity, such as stealing food when you are hungry, Sun would steal at every city the nomads visited for the thrill of the heist. Even more infuriating, Sun was never arrested no matter how many times he was chased by authorities, which seemed endless to the nomads.
However, Sun's nature would help the nomads. Whenever they needed food or money, Sun would be the first to provide for them. But in Vacuo, it is every person for themself. That is why, when the nomads are lured into a trap and made to choose between Sun or the whole clan, they make the only choice a Vacun could make in that situation. Sun isn't even angry at them, even if it's not what he would do in that situation. A learning expierence, really.
For three days, Sun rampaged in Vacuo city. He couldn't find a way to escape, so he would make it the problem of everyone person there. It was only when Yù yin, the oldest and most beloved Huntress in Vacuo, appeared was Sun finally stopped. Using her semblance, Yù yin "pacified" Sun, and he allowed himself to be arrested. Using Quake Dust, Yù yin sealed Sun inside a cage made of solid rock, to be cut off from the rest of the world forever... if Starr Sanzang, a member of Sun's clan, hadn't become a guard at the prison he was being kept in. Without telling anyone, even Sun, she made tiny cracks inside his stone jail.
After a year of captivity, Starr smuggled in a Dust necklace and gave it to Sun so he could escape. And he did. Away from jail, away from the clan that gave him up, and away from Vacuo.
At 17, Sun traveled west of Vacuo, past the dark lands, and into Anima. With no one knowing who he is, and owning nothing but the clothes on his back, Sun wondered if he could start over here. He could turn a new leaf, go to school like always wanted to, renounce his wild ways... on his 18th birthday, Sun broke into Vasilias Enterpises and stole the experimental weapon, Ruyi Bang Jingu Bang. Unfortunately, Sun was out of practice and got caught.
When Sun was finally arrested, he was greeted by Leonardo Lionheart. The academy headmaster gave him a choice, face execution, or enroll in Haven Academy as a reform program student. Sun made the only choice he could make in that situation, and he has been happy ever since.

Yup, I get what you mean about the hanahaki disease. Hiding feelings like that makes no sense. I have severe social anxiety though, so I wouldn't be able to tell someone I loved them. I already have trouble talking to others about a lot of things, let alone any deeper feelings lol. Maybe that's why it's a popular trope in fanfics, because a lot of fanfic readers aren't very socially outgoing.
Plausible. Wouldn’t be me though I’d want to get rid of the possible plant in the lungs immediately.

So I'm really enjoying @tsukithewolf's "Swim Against the Tide" so much that I was inspired to make this. Also I love hidden details but I don't think anyone is gonna notice this, but the two sheet music is the piano version and the violin version for DUET : 3

If you enjoy my writing, I have published a — very nonbinary, very autistic — mystery novel.
A mystery novel about a rock band finding a dead body in a parking lot.
It’s been compared it to many things (Glass Onion, Poker Face, This Is Spinal Tap, Hedwig and the Angry Inch) but ultimately it’s like if Life On The Murder Scene was an episode of Sherlock.
Tumblr media
Once a small-town journalist, now publicist to an international rockstar, Richard (or sometimes Violet — she's genderfluid) has his work cut out for him. Richard's client is the nonbinary frontrunner of American rock band The Stone Dandelions, a lovably quirked up gaggle of nerdy kids who have taken the music industry by storm. Unfortunately, his client seems to want nothing more than to be cancelled on Twitter, and the fact that there was a dead body found outside one of the roadie's vans is the least of Richard's worries. For you see, while all of this is happening, Violet's girlfriend has been caught up in a major IP lawsuit over her West End playwrighting debut and she's always been the one to believe in her the most. The Stone Dandelion's biggest fan is a high schooler named Ash. They have a photographic memory, questionable social skills, unshakeable confidence and rarely take off their headphones. Ash has just taken up a career as a consulting detective, and they might just be the one to figure out how everything is connected. Or maybe it's up to the rockstar's therapist who moonlights as a true crime podcaster, or to the lawyer for the prosecution on Violet's girlfriend's case, who is going into acting upon losing their seat in parliament. Part atmospheric noir, part fuzzy rock-and-roll romp through the streets of London These Flowers Might Be Ours takes an affectionate glance askance at the mechanics of a crime novel.

The man smiled, something sharp but not quite sharp enough.
"Stop following me." Grian brushed back a branch, snapping it back on the person. He didn't even have the audacity to flinch.
"You shouldn't be rude to a fae, now should you?" The man leaned forward, two toned eyes sparkling wildly.
Grian shrugged, shouldering past the man. "You aren't fey, you're human, like me." He looks over. "Which begs the question- Why are you here?"
vs.
Jimmy glared at the man, moving in front of his partner. He knew logically, he was the more vulnerable in this realm, but something about this unfamiliar person screamed unfamiliar and dangerous. "What are you?"
He tutted, two toned eyes narrowing into something sharp and predatory. "Nuh uh, can't be rude to the fey, now should we? It's like you people never learn..."
Jimmy froze, a shiver of tension shocking his body, and suddenly he was more on guard. Because in the mans grin, he could feel the apprehension that came with dealing with something magical. So it was no longer a question of what he was, because it was so clearly fae and wrong- But a question of who he was. "What's- What can I call you by?"
--
chapter one coming soon!! i rewrote the whole original motive because whatever i was doing before wasnt working- and i changed the initial perspective from grian to jimmy for a few reasons. jimmy works better on a cliffhanger for this opening chapter, and grian works better with exploring the fairy realm for his first perspective.
also soon is relative. its when i write this. i know what i need to do and how i need to do it, its just a matter of when. so instead, i offer jimmy and grian encountering the same person and arriving to different conclusions

Blue rose 3
Tumblr media
Meaning: Mystery, secrecy, and pride
Why this flower was chosen: It's related to the character!
Description: He may be trapped in an alternate world with no clues to escape, but he's going to protect this little girl also trapped here even if it costs him his life. And it just might. This place is getting to him a lot more than he thought at first, and some things seem to be targeting him personally. If he isn't careful, he might end up stuck forever. Also he has a cool jacket. Important to mention.
