In the upstairs study, the William Morris wallpaper 'Blackthorn' decorates both the walls and ceiling.

Blackthorn berries taste so sour/bitter that it makes your mouth numb...so I made this character a little bit...sour looking :D

Prunus spinosa (blackthorn)
Prunus is a genus of shrubs and trees that includes plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, and almonds. A lot of them have white flowers and a lot of them bloom in the spring. This species, (probably) Prunus spinosa, is in my neighbor's back garden. It seems to take the approach that 'more is better' and is totally covered in these snow white blooms.
Blackthorn was brought to North America by British settlers and it's very hard, dense wood was at one time used to make Irish shillelaghs (a cross between a walking stick and a hefty club). As a food crop it fails compared to many other members of the genus but it sure knows how to turn on the charm on a sunny, spring morning.

I’m such a big fan of the TSC universe and all the shadowhunter lore but Magnus was kind of spitting facts here. The deeper you go, the harder it is to ignore the possibility of inbreeding 😭😭 Like sorry but if 20 unrelated characters are all descended from the same four or five families then how unrelated are you really??
But hey. The Cohort in Idris probably has it worse. They should resolve that soon.

The Emperor Moth is day 22's prompt. I really can't get enough russet-colored moths with eyespots on their wings!
