“𝚁𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚠𝚊𝚢, 𝚜𝚠𝚎𝚎𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝! 𝙹𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚊 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚏𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛.”

A semi-selective RP blog for a helpful, friendly witch who loves little ones, the woods, and animals. <3

Nurtured by : 𝐿𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑒

“𝙾𝚑 𝚖𝚢, 𝚊 𝚟𝚒𝚜𝚒𝚝𝚘𝚛? 𝙰𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚛? 𝙿𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚜𝚎, 𝚜𝚒𝚝 𝚍𝚘𝚠𝚗, 𝚍𝚎𝚊𝚛! 𝙷𝚊𝚟𝚎 𝚜𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚎𝚊. 𝙲𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚓𝚘𝚒𝚗 𝚖𝚎 𝚋𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚎?“

Hello, hello! This is a side RP blog for @lottie-loo, so most of the info about me will be on there. :3

As for this blog, it’ll revolve around an OC of mine.

She can be referred to as a witch, healer, protector, or all three, whichever you prefer.

𝒪𝒞 𝒾𝓃𝒻ℴ！

She’s kinda a guardian of some sort, specifically for children. She appears to them as a spirit, or a benevolent ghost, and leads them away to stay with her until she can find them a better place to stay. She usually leads children away if they’re in an abusive home, or something really bad will happen in the future, so her home in the forest (sometimes in the beach, mountains, or desert, it depends on where the child lives as she moves around and doesn’t stay in one place) acts as a safe haven. Kinda like an orphanage. :3

She also stays with the kids (like physically) and cooks and provides for them, and if she finds a good home for them, she wipes their memory and takes them to their new home while they sleep. She keeps all of the kids’ names in a little book, and keeps one of their favorite items, so she has something to remember them by :]

But, it’s kinda sad because there are legends saying that she’s a mean witch that kills kids; but she protects them, because no one loves her enough to give her children of her own. :(

So, she sticks to taking care of and providing for other children, as it’s the closest thing she’ll get to ever having a child of her own. But, who knows? Maybe one day she’ll bear a little one…

ℛ𝓊𝓁ℯ𝓈

⚠️ I like to think I’m pretty lenient around here, so don’t take advantage of that. ⚠️

1. Don’t be a bitch. Have fun, it doesn’t take much to be nice to people. Give respect, get respect.

2. When I lay down boundaries, I expect them to be heeded. If you break them, I’ll give you a warning. If you continually break them, I’ll have no choice but to block you and possibly even report you.

3. This goes along with the boundary rule a little bit, but I will not take NSFW asks or prompts for my OC. Suggestive topics are allowed, however. Just not straight up NSFW.

That’s pretty much it! I hope to see you all soon.

🌹 emmrich & flowers 🌹

emmrich has this banter with harding, where she asks him if he ever thought about what he would have done if he hadn't become a watcher.

he doesn't have an answer at the time she asks him, it comes to him later, after some thought:

emmrich: a botanist! harding: what? emmrich: i considered your earlier question, and if i weren't a watcher, i should like to become one of the great botanists. harding: (laughs) emmrich: is that funny? harding: it's funny because it's perfect. i can totally see it. harding: you, tending to your garden. sniffing dirt. discovering new plants. gently asking the slugs to leave your roses alone. emmrich: i should think so! i would've spent a lot of time on those roses. [source]

not only does it make a lot of sense given how much emmrich loves flowers, a part of his questline being dedicated to gathering them, but it also made me think about a headcanon for emmrich.

an emmrich, who is coming to terms with his feelings for rook and thinking about how to show them (again, according to harding, both of them are quite obvious about it), drawing up ideas and overthinking a complete bouquet arrangement for rook.

he's not only set on picking beautiful flowers that create an even more beautiful greater whole, but a bouquet that holds meaning.

every single flower he picks reveals his thoughts and feelings and hopes, beautiful and complex as they are.

bluebells for humility (alluding to his "you humble me." line), gladiolus in honour of rook's strength of character and determination ("there's also something quite indomitable about you."), heliotropes for an undying love (a "flame eternal", if you will), and perhaps even beautiful and classic red roses (a true love, bashful love).

it would of course be up to you if your rook understands the deeper meaning behind the gesture, but i'd like to think emmrich wouldn't mind explaining.

it does make me laugh to imagine rook listening to emmrich details each flower meaning like

Yandere florist x reader

Tw: mentions of physical abuse in sexual settings, implied drugging and somnophilia, stalking, implied possessive behavior and controlling nature, mildly nsfw. Not proofread 🌺

🌷Benny was the quiet kid of your school. You didn't know much about him, except he was a good student and apart of the gardening club. That was all, but Benny? Oh he knew you very well..

🌷you were stunning. You had such amazing hair that he wanted to play with every night before going to sleep, those stunning beautiful eyes that always ghosted over his form in the cafeteria, and your voice that always managed to make him rock hard down there

🌷 recently your family had gotten a wide assortment of flowers for an event. Thinking they were pretty, you asked for the florists name or any social they might have. They handed you a card with the info, and with that you looked up the account on Instagram.

🌷 scrolling through their posts you found a familiar face you'd see every day in the school halls. What was his name again? Benjamin? Beanie? No.. oh yeah! Benny! You didnt know he had such a good eye for aesthetics, especially flower arrangements. But that has to be expected since he spends all his time gardening

🌷the next time you saw him, you walked right up to his table on campus grounds. A bit far from the other outside lunch areas. He froze when he saw a familiar pair of shoes, looking up at you slowly with those big blue eyes

"you're a florist right?"

"y-yes..?"

"how much for a dozen roses and half a dozen tulips?"

🌷you became a regular after that. He'd wait anxiously every day for you in the plant nursery after school. He always gave you such cheap prices, claiming you were his friend and he only did favors for them. You thought he was sweet, so when you heard rumors about him being caught sneaking around the girls locker rooms and stalking a classmate? You shrugged it off,most likely empty gossip

🌷if only you paid attention to the red flags sooner.. you would have realized Benny's real nature. When he asked you out prom night, you agreed, he was sweet and you weren't seeing anyone at the moment. Who knew, maybe this would be the start of a beautiful relationship?

Pros with Benny:

🌹atleast he's a very generous lover. Spoiling you with what he could afford, since he came from humble beginnings he's always wise with the money you both have

🌹 he's completely devoted to you! Never looking at anyone else with love or lust, always worshipping you both in bed and outside it

🌹you learn new things. Like natural remedies, plants and their names, their usefulness to make nearly everything. Even drugs (He's vegan.)

🌹he wants to settle down and raise a family with you as soon as you graduate college! He gets tipsy and love drunk thinking about it too much. He'd make an excellent father. Kind of.

The cons:

🥀 randomly, he'll get very aggressive in bed. Biting you till your skin bleeds, slapping your chest and ass, degrading you with the most vilest words. Not to mention he seems to really like choking you till you almost pass out

🥀he doesn't know how to take no for an answer, he'll go scarily quiet and his eyes will turn dull. A complete contrast to how he usually is. Surely a little intimidation will make you change your mind no?

🥀 he's possessive with your time and love. If he ever notices you staring at anyone a little too long, who isn't friends or family he knows of, you bet there'll be missing person posters by the end of the week

🥀he forbids you from going into the basement. Saying it's his private nursery and you should respect his privacy, even if he doesn't respect yours

🥀 randomly you'll feel sleepy after Eating anything he makes you, growing drowsy and the last thing you can remember is feeling clammy hands hastily unbutton your pants and shirt

[babypudge]

🌹Everyone thought you were the perfect couple, but the florist down the street knew otherwise. It felt like you were at his flower shop every other day trying to compensate for your shortcomings in the relationship. Let’s face it, you had differences. Your better half’s love language was gifts, especially flowers. Your love language, on the other hand, was much more complicated…but after setting aside their own unattended desires, they came to enjoy the nurturing aspects of your needs - like getting to dress you up, feeding you bottles while cuddled up on the couch and sending you to bed early when they wanted some time to themselves. However, they were far less enthusiastic about changing diapers. You tried to explain to them that “babies don’t change their own diapers” and that it spoiled the experience, but the most they’d agree to was diapering you when you were fresh out of the bath. 

Eventually your continued persistence about the matter started causing trouble in the relationship - not to mention an even larger amount of your paycheck landing in the pocket of the florist. One day, he casually asked to see a photo of “the lucky person” he’d been making all these expensive flower arrangements for. Still flustered from a recent lover’s spat, you found a photo on your phone and absentmindedly handed it over to him before returning your attention to the credit card reader. Big mistake. Not only because he realized you were dating his old high school crush and that it was his flowers keeping the relationship afloat, but also because you hadn’t turned off notifications for your social accounts. 

❤️ Diaperbabyboycuck4evr liked your post suddenly popping up over the image of his lost love told him all he needed to know about how to get you out of the way, and keep you there - and thanks to you, he had plenty of money to enact his plan. The next day, flowers you hadn’t ordered started showing up in the house, the next week you got up to get some water after being tucked in early and found a note saying your partner had gone out for the evening “with an old friend” and the next month you were shocked to find the florist waiting in your kitchen and nonchalantly informing you that “Daddy needs to have a serious talk with you, tiger, about your future in this family.”

One year later and that “future” has flourished into full bloom. Now all the ladies at the bank are aflutter to see “their little man” dressed up in his red gingham Jon Jon as you accompany “Daddy" on his Saturday errands, now the “adults” are headed to Paris for two weeks while you enjoy an all expenses paid vacation to the Fisher Price Spin ’N Play Safari Activity Center in “Nana’s” living room, now everybody thinks you’re “just perfect” to play cupid in the flower shop’s new Valentines Day billboard campaign and now the best part of your day is Daddy returning home from work. Sure, most people wouldn’t be so happy to see the man who took almost everything from them return to their house - but you see, unlike his newly reclaimed love, Daddy has been wrist-deep in fertilizer so many times that a few dirty diapers don’t slow him down one bit - even at the mall, as you learned the other day. However, seeing as he’s the only one willing to handle the job, and as you once so helpfully pointed out “babies don’t change their own diapers”, you’re often stuck spending your days planted in your own soil and certainly not smelling like a rose.🦨🥀

[readychilledwine]

Hi!, here's a Tamlin x reader request. So reader is always so fun and smiley and happy but every night, when everyone is asleep, she goes to the garden and sits there alone crying because of her abusive past. One day, when Tamlin goes to open the window at night, he notices you crying while sitting in the garden. Then he realises you do it every day. So one day, when reader goes to the garden, she notices he's sitting there. He asks her why cries there every night and they have a lil chat, and then tamlin eventually cups her face, looks her in the eyes and tells her "you mean everything to me. There's no one that matters to me more than you" or something like that. And then he just comforts her 🥺. Just make it super fluffy ✨️.

Among The Lilies

Summary - There was always a pro and con to every situation, and being Lady Spring was no different.

Warnings - Mentions of alcohol, overstimulation, feelings of being out of place and not belonging

A/N - This has been sitting in my drafts for a while. I am so sorry to the anon who requested this. I'm still not sure I captured what I was hoping for with this, but fingers crossed.

🌹Tamlin Masterlist🌹Master Masterlist🌹

You sighed as you chugged your second glass of sweet floral wine, watching the fae of your court dance for another night of celebrations. You weren't used to this. You were a forest nymph, a low fae who the Cauldron seemed to think belonged with Tamlin, a High Lord. You were not used to loud parties filled with fae laughing and dancing the way Tamlin was. You were used to silence, to fireside celebrations, small groups among a large crowd. You made the best of his gathering, though. Becoming known for being the life of the party and dancing the night away.

Celebrations like this had started to become a norm. Every accomplishment was met with wine, music, and dancing as Tamlin brought your home back to its former glory. The fae of Spring had been so excited to celebrate the Equinox this year that they had asked you and Tamlin to take it from a night of debauchery and fun to a week of dancing, drinking, and revelry. It would be the first the court had celebrated in 6 years and with the new court voted taxation system, the new faith in their High Lord, and if rumors and whispers were true, the influence of you, it was hard for Tamlin to deny them anything.

So here you were. Wearing the smile that didn't reach your eyes, struggling to breathe in the corset dress you had a love-hate relationship with, and waiting to slip out unnoticed. You had been enjoying yourself, but you were slowly becoming over stimulalated from the countless males and females touching you, thanking you, trying to dance with you. You were exhausted from the late parties that quickly faded into morning duties and after assignments.

You finally saw your chance, sparing one last look to where your husband stood, Lucien by his side, laughing at something Tarquin said. You bolted then, running to the doors and through the halls before slowing to a walk at the private garden Tamlin had planted for you.

The garden had become your safe place. A place for you to cry, to use your magic to recenter yourself, and to find peace. You felt almost guilty, coming here again and bombarding the poor sprites as they danced and enjoyed their little fires and celebration. Such small, kind creatures, but yet some of Springs most important. "Forgive me," you inclined your head before heading to the fountain you knew they'd be nowhere near.

This had become a ritual for you the past few nights, hiding out here with your back and head against the cool marble, breathing in the scent of fresh blooming roses and lilies. You typically stayed here until you relaxed before heading back in, but a sprite had different plans this time.

Small hands touched your cheek, wiping the tears that were falling as you finally collected yourself. A female fluttered her gossamer like wings next to you, her light green skin contrasting her flower petal dress. "Why is my lady sad?"

You smiled, holding a hand out to her and allowing her to land. "Not sad, just tired."

"Lilies are the flowers of sadness. You come here when you're sad. You go to the roses when you're blushing. The daisies for joy." She stood and held your thumb as if to hug and hold you. "Please tell me what's wrong?" Your heart ached, burdening this innocent creature with your frustration. Yet, she only nodded, seeming to understand the feelings you were having. Soon, you two became so engrossed in conversations that you didn't notice green eyes watching from a window and a sharp mind wondering why his wife had closed off their bond.

The next night was more of the same. More fae dragging you to dance. More hands touching your exposed arms. More music. More everything. You were not sly as you escaped this time and all but ran to your beloved fountain. Faltering, you saw Tamlin, a single rose in his hand as he sat watching the sprites.

"I had thought to myself, perhaps my rose just needed fresh air the first night you ran out here," his voice washed over you like rain as you walked over, sitting next to him. "Then it happened again. And again. Then, for the fourth time. And again tonight. You're coming here to cry, and evidently do so frequently, your friends have told me that much," a sprite with a familiar smile disappeared from your view. "But she will not tell me the one thing I want to know." His eyes finally met yours, lingering and studying your expression. "Why," the question was simple, one you should have been able to answer.

You finally found it in your mind, looking at the root of the complicated problem. "I struggle to feel I belong among the high fae still." You took a spot beside him, pulled your knees up and hugged them. "I offer pretty smiles, I give them the positive words they expect, and I play the part of happy wife, but I still struggle."

He hummed, his calloused hand finding yours, "Are you a happy wife? Or do I need to provide more?" His tone had changed, realizing this was more than feeling overcrowded. This was his mate, opening that dark feeling he knew was festering.

You could only smile at him, a real one that did reach your eyes, "I am happy in all aspects of our marriage. I just want a sense of belonging when it comes to other courtly matters." That was where you struggled. You struggled with the weight that came from the jewels you wore, the circlet on your head.

"Oh, you belong," he murmured as he pulled you closer. "You are this court. The very soul that drives it. Being a nymph does nothing to change that." His thumb came up, wiping a tear you had not realized was falling. "There is more. I can feel an ache in your heart wanting to come forward."

Moments of silence passed, "Am I enough?" That question had him cupping your chin, forehead resting against yours as you continued. "I don't want to be High Lady. I don't have the drive and ambition Lady Summer, Lady Night, or Lady Day have. I enjoy my place at your side, but not-"

His free hand came up, holding both sides of your face as he shushed you, thumbs continuing to swipe your cheeks. "You are more than enough. You are everything to me." His forehead stayed touching yours, your noses brushing as he spoke, "I love you as you are, for who you are. It would break me to see you change your drive to match the desires of others instead of your own."

You nodded as you were listening to his words. You could feel the beat of your heart beginning to match his, your body relaxing to match his. "I just want to be everything you've ever asked for," you confessed.

"And you are more," his lips twitched, "Cauldron, you are so much more. You are perfect for me. Perfect for my court. You are-" Tamlin paused trying to find the words. "I could write all the poetry in the world, source from the greatest love stories of legend, yet nothing could compare to what you are to me."

Those tears changed at that, sadness replaced by warmth as he touched his lips to yours in a comforting kiss before pulling back. "You are my sun," he whispered. "You are not just my world. You are the center I orbit. You are the source of light and warmth. You are how I time my day." Your smile was growing as he continued to speak, hands finding his broad chest as your eyes closed to fully process and enjoy the timber of his voice.

"I love you. I just.. I love you." He ended it so easily. Three words that encompassed thousands of emotions he could describe. "Never change and never hide these feelings from me. Let me help shoulder your burdens."

You leaned up, kissing him as you opened the bond, "And I love you." Your arms wrapped around him, head resting on his chest. "We should go back before our guests worry."

"Let them worry," he kissed the top of your head. "Let's enjoy the garden and the sprites."
