❝ flowers are so overrated. they're bright, gaudy, and almost never make good poisons. ❞ // to whomever wants to come forth c: //

The meadow bloomed as if each petal was a bright memory. The bees flocked to the wildflowers that nature had planted for them. They buzzed around the chorus of blossoms, the accord of the wild in these sun-filled moments. Summer was most definitely a nourishing season on Paradis.

 In the golden hush of dawn, where the sky blushed with the first whispers of daylight, Solveig and Hilda found themselves amidst a sea of blossoms. The field stretched endlessly, a vibrant tapestry woven with fragrant flowers and herbs, each petal and leaf glistening with morning dew. The sisters, bound by blood and tradition, moved with a quiet ease, their bond evident in the synchronized rhythm of their work, their sickles—crafted for the impending autumn harvest—gleaming like silver crescents against the soft light. Beside them, Lyanna—a newfound companion whose acquaintance was as fresh as the morning. Though they scarcely knew her, Solveig had felt an intrinsic pull, a whisper from the heart urging her to embrace this stranger and the shared experience of womanhood. Together, the three females gathered nature's treasures, each cut and snip a testament to their unity and strength. It was in this shared labor, beneath the ever-brightening sky, that they wove bonds as delicate yet enduring as the flowers they collected, finding kinship and beauty in the simple act of harvesting life from the earth. Lyanna, the young woman they had recently met, paused and looked around. With a wry smile, she remarked, “Flowers are so overrated. They’re bright, gaudy, and almost never make good poisons.” She didn't appear too enthused to be in this environment, leaving Solveig with a bewildered frown on her pale features. Solveig, her hands gently placing a vibrant flower into her basket, turned to Lyanna with a thoughtful scowl. “Even the prettiest flower shouldn’t be mistaken only for its beauty,” she began, her voice soft but firm. “A flower can be so beautiful, but it can also harbor many dangers.”

She picked a foxglove from her basket, its purple bells hanging delicately from the stem like tiny, enchanted lanterns. “Take foxglove, for instance. In small doses, it can be used to treat heart conditions, mending broken rhythms with its potent touch. But too much, and it becomes a deadly poison, almost instant death. Yet, even this poisonous flower is essential for medicine when respected and understood.”

Moving through the field, advicing Lyanna to follow her, she knelt by another plant, its dark berries gleaming ominously in the morning light. “This is belladonna,” she continued, “used in tiny amounts to relieve muscle spasms, to soothe and heal. My people even use it to widen their pupils by injecting the juiced directly into their eyes, as it helps them to see better while hunting in the night. But its berries can be fatal to those who consume them.” Solveig met her blue gaze towards Lyanna again, her eyes meeting hers, imparting the gravity of her words. “Some plants can be easily confused, like wild parsnip and hemlock, each a doppelgänger to the other, one life-giving, the other life-taking. And the typical bitter taste of a plant can be easily masked, cloaked in honeyed deceit, making them even more dangerous. Remember, the dose makes the poison.”

As the three women continued their gathering, the field became more than a simple meadow. It was a place of learning and connection, a classroom of the earth where each flower told a story, whispered secrets, and taught lessons of balance and respect. “What you have to get out of the habit of thinking is not to discount the lethality of beauty. It's the way with plants, just like with people. What would be the fun in desiring it instantaneously and without delay?” Solveig chuckled somewhat wryly towards Lyanna before she resumed her work. Each bloom was a dual symbol of life and death, of beauty and peril, a reminder of nature’s intricate dance and the essential role of even the most dangerous flowers in healing and medicine.

How young were you?

Younger than I should have been. I was 6 sweeps. The typical age for succession is 8 or 9 sweeps.

Due to unforeseen circumstances of the older heirs dying, I was the oldest to attempt. The council at the time had pushed for it.

**Cue epic fight music**

In response to the fight drabble.

--TKA

It's funny cause no matter the AU, Yuu is beating up her boyfriend no matter what.

Yuu is very quick to dodge the grabs and uses someones back as step stool. She launches herself and wraps herself around Floyd's back, and locks his arms up when they try to reach back for her.

"I'm going on the ground, ain't I?"

"Maybe, and I'm sorry." She unwraps her legs form his waist, presses her knee to his back and shoved him into the advancing Cater.

They both hit the ground as Yuu lands a handstand and spin kicks Jade and Leona away as they advance on her.

"Shit, she's gotten better." Leona grumbles.

"Because I taught her more moves." Lilia says as he nearly lands a punch on Yuu only for her to block it. "That's my fault."

"Lilia-kun, why would you do that?" Cater groans.

"I wanted her to be able to protect herself with better efficiency."

Yuu and Lilia traded blows with the human dodging the hits and kneeing the older fae hard in the stomach. The wheezing groan he let out caused all of them to wince.

"Sorry!"

"I trained you too well..."

Yuu grabbed the fabric hanging off of him and flung him into Floyd, sending them both onto the ground, where she quickly tied them up using tassels.

"So we're fighting a hyper trained Miss Yuu..." Jade sighed. "Wonderful."

"I promise not to knee you in the dick this time, Jadie."

"...Thank you."

MK’s symbol is an ancient Chinese Diagram (season 5 spoilers)

So, what is this? It sure looks a lot like MK’s symbol, but what is it, and how is it important for season 5?

Well… Because it can be tracked back to the thoughs five colored stones from the new set.

To understand what I mean by this, we first have to look at what this symbol even means which is: “to harbor or protect dualism" ( aka yin and yang”)

The symbol shows this through the black and white pattern throughout it. And with it there is sometimes even a smaller, empty circle in the middle, to show emptiness as the core in Duality.

But that’s not all because this symbol is actually part of something called the Tajitu(太極圖), which is something that is IN Lego Monkie Kid!

(original picture is upright)

More specifically in this scene where MK “opens up his mind”.

The bottom two circles Aline with these two, who symbolize heaven and earth, aka opposites.

And then we have this little star which matches perfectly with the diagram for something called “the five phases”, or as we are going to know them in Lego Monkie kid: Nüwa’s five magical stones.

Just take a look at the set’s vs the five phases! It’s the same! There is even a myth where Nüwa mended the heavens using these five colored stones which symbolized the five phases!

And if continue on to the second last symbol? That’s the top one, which represents “Wuji” or the start of the universe, where MK (or more specifically MKs symbol being underneath.

And even if I’m wrong about MK’s symbol, this right here would be a pretty good replacement! MK symbol then representing him being in the “center” of everything.

But what even is the Tajitu, at its "core"? Well, it represents the "Taji" also meaning “utmost extreme" or “The Supreme Ultimate”. There is a lot to talk about here but to make it simple it is:

“a cosmological state of the universe and its affairs on all levels, involving the interaction of Yin and Yang, the Five Phases and finally, all the concrete things in the universe.” – Wikipedia

Conclusion:

MK is INCREDBLY powerful, and I am just as excited as I am terrified to what all this means for his “fate”.

Fun fact: I made this originally for a theory video about MK’s fate and Nüwa’s goal, so if you are interested go check it out here

sorry im emotonal and going off of the other asks sent about machete and just i need to stress how beautiful it is to me that machete sees himself so undeserving of love and affection and feeling as if vasco's too good for him but despite all that he is so incredibly devoted to vasco and loving towards him (in his own way) but is so incredibly clear to anyone with eyes that just how in love he is with vasco. like it's not done out of a "oh god please never realize that you're too good for me here here let me overdo it with the affection" its done with the "i love you, and will always love you, no matter what happens to us or separates us, and i will give it to you as long as i am able, and if you ever leave, i won't be okay, but will still love you, and want you happy". like he doesn't use his own feelings of being undeserving taint his love or the way he loves for vasco, and it's so, so beautiful

Just curious, how old is our character in the game supposed to be/is there an age range in mind?

isa: There's no specific age, just that they're a consenting adult. Although I did write the MC as being notably younger than Stan (evidenced by dialogue during the diner date). All of us on the crew were in our 30s or younger during development, and none of us EVER imagined how wide the reach of the game would be, or that people would be making "gransonas" and OCs of various ages!

What does your face look like?

A face.

Lmao I remember seeing images of vi as a pitfighter and thinking "noo spoilers 😭" (I didn't want to know ANYTHING about season 2 before watching it--get the best experience, yk?).

But like,,, Vi's pitfighter phase was so insignificant? Like actually so brushed over? I totally forgot about it because it had one stupid montage and that's it.

Why did she even become a pitfighter? Ik that it's her coping with her life falling apart, by why pitfighting? And also where's the pitfighting happening? And why is that vander replacement there? What??? Can they not like continue the insane worldbuilding they had from before please?

ffs I'm tired of people claiming that people critiquing arcane have no media literacy and want to be spoon fed. Be so fr the first season of arcane is so so SO GOOD because the reasoning behind characters' decisions were explained/shown before the decision was made. (silco choosing that kid to be the first human shimmer weapon because that kid fucked up his recon mission on vi/powder/mylo/claggor so badly, powder wanting to prove that she isn't a jinx because mylo keeps dissing her about it, marcus being a mess of a dirty cop because his family's safety is in silco's hands, etc, etc)

Characters are not real people. Sure, a real person can make decisions out of left field. Yeah, real people have microexpressions that can tell you a lot about what they're thining. But a character's motivations and how they think should be clear to the audience (generally, ofc there's exceptions im not stupid yo).

Yeah, I know why each character did what they did in s2, but not in the way I did in s1. Not in a way that matters.

I mean, I totally forgot that Mel and Jayce were in a relationship in s1. Where did that go?? I guess people are so obsessed with jayvik that they were probably celebrating that the writers forgor about that important character/plot point. You're telling me not a single character has ANY curiosity??? Jayce sees that Mel is a mage and doesn't, yk, insist on getting the full story??? And vice versa??? Even if they implied that that conversation happens off-screen that's not enough. Seeing how these two very close characters express these very traumatic events to each other would be such a good look into their internal mindscapes and how they view the crazy shit that just happened to them. But nooo. We can't explore their relationship together because jayce needs to be obsessed with viktor.

GOD I want a bi character in a show to come out of a same-sex relationship and end up in a "straight" relationship just to watch the internet fucking implode. Every bi/plurisexual person deserves a smooch on the forehead and a little voice that tells them 'love who you love, nothing could make you less queer than you are. yeah, people sure do think otherwise but fuck them ong holy shit'

omggg dont even get me started on caitvi... can we not get a healthy wlw relationship that isn't rooted in codependency and general toxicity?? "people just cant let lesbians have anything can they," i've heard people say in response to people criticising the caitvi sex scene... NO! I want sapphics to know that they can have healthy, non-abusive relationships where you, yk, actually talk to your partner and ARENT just the dirt under their nails. tf.

After MANY failed attempts at agreeing on one of the clubs, Host and Venom decide to ask other students for advice on making a decision with each of them competing to win the duo over. Who do you think would be the most convincing club? (yes Malleus and Jade are also trying to convince them to be their second (and third???) members of their clubs lol)

Honestly, I kinda think Jade would be the better option but it would be funny if Host joined Basketball club and they're the reason NRC starts winning matches.
