'Olivia walked Hampstead Heath with the word OTIS on her back a couple of days ago'
Where these photos 😭 I actually thought she will hide for a bit. Isn't she embarrassed wearing her kid's name after what happened! disgusting
Once the yellow Pleasing hoodie is available, we will get to see them.

I MADE THEIR Z!!!!
FINALLY. FINALLY IT’S AZTEC HOLY HECC
It can stop bothering me.
So! Allow me to introduce you to Zinnia! Etzio and Cardinale’s youngest sibling!
More on her and some world building under the cut
Zinnia, or Zin as dubbed by her bigger brother Etzio, is 8-9 years younger than card (roughly round 16-17 in this reference) and finally has inherited her mother’s Flora affinity. In a strange way.
First off, she was a late bloomer
Most Flora aligned folk have their flora of choice begin to sprout at a young age, roughly 3-4 years old. If a child hasn’t present a sprout, then it’s likely they aren’t flora aligned, though of course there are exceptions.
Flowers are the most common type of growth, but there also has been bushes, fruit plants, some veggies, even some more out there plants like fly traps and rafflesia. Rarely there are trees (That grow to be Bonsais) and Fungi.
Zinnia, contrary to her name, turned out to eventually grow mushrooms, Which confused the whole family but they took it in stride. Even more so when her flora powers leaned towards the end of the life cycle.
While she is capable of new growth and flora control, she is stronger and excels at Rot and Decay.
And this plays into her inner turmoil. Etzio is a widely renown Adventurer and Future King. Cardinale, while not nearly as renown (and very happy like that) is a budding historian and glad to not have the full burden of a kingdom on his shoulders (fully willing to help in the future)
But... Where does that leave her?
Stuck in the middle with no idea who she is supposed to be. There’s already a legacy and those it’ll be passed to. And instead she’s, somehow, the odd one out. A Rot affinity in a kingdom of life and peach blossoms.
Well that’s what she eventually sets out to do. There’s a legend her brothers discovered about an Oracle older than their era. So she sets out to find this Oracle and ask what it is she’s supposed to do.
The problem is... She does it alone.
Along this journey, she runs into many trials and walls and detours and puzzles. Some she can solve on her own with some outside thinking, others... well she wishes she had someone from her family or friends because they’d be able to solve it.
It comes to a head when she ends up in tatters, cold and wet, after having been beaten soundly at something that was simply too big for her to handle on her own. So... she has to give up. So she returns home, defeated
But her brothers and cousins, who were ready to head out to find her after allowing her requested grace period, are there to help pick her up. They remind her that she doesn’t have to do it alone, and it’s okay, they’re here now.
And most importantly, that only Zinnia herself can decide who she is and what she’s supposed to do.
With some renewed hope, and her family behind her, they set out again to find the Oracle. And turns out, it’s easier to do so with a brother who can read dead languages, another brother who is very well versed with ancient puzzles, a cousin who can manipulate gravity, and another good at sword fighting,
So finally, they find the Oracle, and Twyla reminds Zin one last time that only she can tell her what she’s supposed to do.
With that in mind, Zinnia instead asks instead if she could help her discover why her affinity is Rot.
The Oracle points them to the Titanic Forest, where it runs deep as an ocean (yes i loved that idea)
There, AZTEC ventures as deep as they can go and discover the long forgotten Kingdom of Rot. And here they make the acquaintance of it’s King and Prince, who are very intrigued by these foreigners, and the King gladly explains Decay to Zinnia.
Turns out, she’s now a personification of that Cycle. New growth and Decay in the same breath (Decay as an extant form of life anyone? ;P)
With this discovery, they end up re-kindling the connection between the Kingdom of Rot and the world above, even if it must be slow, the connection is there again.
And later in life, she becomes the Queen of that kingdom. Just as she was meant to be.
