Vyn in the Language of Flowers

While we do know Rosa is often compared as his rose, Vyn does have his fair share of comparison with his flowers! The most explicit comparison was based on the red and opium poppies, but poppies in general, often go hand-in-hand with Vyn's artwork:

Another proof of Vyn having poppies as his flower is his birthday gift when the player celebrates their birthday in-game: the gift is entitled “Coquelicot Blessings Giftbox”. The word coquelicot is a French vernacular name for corn poppy. There are more samples that are too subtle to put in the analysis, such as when Vyn and Rosa are biking during the SR: Cool Summer (the flowers in the lower left corner of the CG are poppies) and other backgrounds with poppies (though I doubt this has any meaning).

What is most interesting though is that Vyn subconsciously compared himself to a poppy, as seen in his SSR: Blazing Colors video call:

“Whereas red poppies are as pure as their appearance, opium poppies can be seen as a sinful flower donning a cloak of innocence. In a way, this dichotomy is similar to human nature.”

He doesn’t explicitly compare himself to the poppy, but I would argue he subconsciously does from his previous line before the photo: “In the language of flowers, poppies mean “peace”. It really is something befitting of one’s image of a psychologist. Also have you noticed? Red poppies are very similar to opium poppies in appearance.” It was Rosa who gave him a red poppy because of his profession but it was Vyn who brought up the comparison between red and opium poppies. Considering Rosa’s knowledge in gardening, I would say she is not able to immediately distinguish the difference between these flowers.

Another reason why I think Vyn subconsciously compared himself to the opium poppy is that the flower has medicinal uses. The flower is a principal source of opium, a class of naturally occurring alkaloids, which include the following: morphine, codeine, papaverine, and noscapine (Singh, A., I. M. Menendez-Perdomo, et al., 2019). I think it’s a nice touch that while he seems to think that he is sinful (actually it’s the Church who thinks he’s sinful for practicing psychology considering he’s a noble), he is still able to help people in need by providing the mental health assistance they need.

A flower that is also prevalent in some of his stories is the white lily. For those who have yet to read SSR: Medieval Suspense, white lilies are the Vatican’s flower, which was the decisive evidence that made Vyn lose in the game he participated in with Rosa.

White lilies also appear during the last part of the SSR: Between Good and Evil

Interestingly enough, the story is most likely based on Eirik Haspran and Jill Richter’s romance, which is why Rosa and Vyn had to be in their shoes, respectively (a possibility that Vyn is gauging Rosa’s choice should a similar situation arise in the future). Unlike Eirik, Rosa is decisive and willing to brace herself through the consequences as long as her convictions are right. Vyn, on the other hand, has given up on the Church and explicitly expresses his dislike on numerous occasions.

Vyn is almost always conscious of his choices, but for him to compare himself to a poppy is actually almost the opposite of the lady viscount’s favorite flower, the white lily, and it feels like a pretty hidden easter egg (or, I could’ve been overanalyzing him and his storyline, but oh well). While white lilies mean purity and rebirth, opium poppies are regarded as sinful and red poppies are often used to represent remembrance and consolation. Although poppies could also mean hope for a peaceful future and even resurrection, which manifest in Vyn's gradually changing behavior of hoping for love, a phenomenon he believes is a miracle for him to experience, and opening up about his past so he could face the future with Rosa.

Perhaps Vyn with gardening as a hobby is a deliberate choice, as he often makes comparisons of his and Rosa’s circumstances in terms of flowers. I think metaphors like these are nice to explore.

thank you for this... as a mo yi stan??? chefs kiss

Hey! Thank you so much for your translations, especially the ones of Mo Yi from Themis! He's very much my bias but as a global player I struggle to find info on him, so your translations have helped me a lot! Tira sent me here w my Mo Yi questions, so I wanted to ask you how much do you read into Mo Yi's behaviour when he's alone? Do you think he carries an ominous vibe even when talking about the MC during those times?

Hello! This is suuuuper long and kinda rant-ish so I'll... put it under cut!

He does have an ominous vibe sometimes, but for good reason and never to harm. Like, it may seem like he knows more than he shows (but that's only what it SEEMS). While he might know what's more in your head than anyone else, he doesn't harbour any ill intentions! At first, he's also struggling to accept these feelings (what are feelings haha) and wonders if it's merely a mistake, or an illusion, but he soon grows to understand and accept that yes, it is genuine. So, when he is alone, he does those self-reflection things while talking into this dictaphone. (Which can sometimes be detatched, clinical, or heartfelt) Sometimes he talks in a dark way, but that's only because he feels like he's following in his father's footsteps and he hates that he is. His family's kinda dysfunctional so yes, he's also affected by that.

Alone, he muses. He picks at his own faults and mistakes himself much more than others.

If you're talking about the scene with the roses and he's on the phone, in that part he's portrayed ominously / kinda evil/ to add to the suspense. And while he may sound clinical and detached back then, it is only because he was giving a professional EVALUATION of MC as a "suitable candidate for NXX" to Zuo Ran over the phone. So while he may be all clipped and sharp edges there, he's not... like that deep down. (He also thinks that Zuo Ran's teacher had betrayed them, so this guardedness and jadedness also comes from that fresh wound bc he was someone they all trusted and they were newly betrayed, so he's very cautious.)

Although some things he do might be questionable (yes, he's a bit of an elitist and has sarcasm to the nines if prodded, but-) think of it this way, an eagle shoves their kid out of the nest to make them learn how to fly and survive. That's what he's doing. He doesn't coddle (overly) which is why sometimes he has that ominous vibe going on because he's gonna shove MC off... to help MC grow as a person to become better.

I'm also tired about people saying how he's red flag/sus because the story in ToT follows a TIMELINE and you are all at the START of it... (like how we were begging for the loaf at the beginning because all we got were crumbs... and trying to explain sometimes feels like I’m trying to talk to a brick wall)

For us down in the CN version, we'd tell you, yes he's kinda shady, but that's just his character, and NO HE'S NOT SUS!! There's SO MUCH MORE to him than that... (I'm begging you) The way he's jaded and the way his tongue is that sharp is only because of his upbringing and HIS PAST which will slowly be revealed... Just because he's a shrink doesn't mean he's instantly shady, alright? He might be one, but he wouldn't use those against MC, ever. Mind games are fine when directed to others, but to MC? Never. (but sometimes his elitist ass gets a little ... yeah. He's learning shh)

In other words, while Mo Yi has his own issues, he is... kind... willing to try all sorts of things with MC and willing to fight anyone who dares try to harm.. and also willing to change. this guy even bakes MC stuff all the time... and invites her to share tea (Even I personally wouldn't share mine?? unless we're close?) .... and so much more... (Sorry for the rant)
