What's your favorite flower, sensei?

Hmm....I would say....Forget-me-nots or scorpion grass, as it's known in some nations like Sunagakure.

These flowers are small and subtle in its looks, but carry a lot of meaning. There are also a lot of legends tied to these flowers. From exiled kings, to an ill-fated lover being swept down a stream, never to be seen or heard from again. It doesn't really matter where you are from since everyone can agree that these blooms symbolize remembrance ―not only associated with love, but for those very important friends or comrades that we’ve lost.

Bonus. It's also the birth flower of those born in September.

Words By Bangtan - August Theme “Inception”

Finished in December after sitting gathering (ironic) dust in my WIPs since September. To make sure I finished these without getting too overwhelmed I stepped back from doing 4 solutions (WBB didn't have any limits to their submissions anyway, I was just being OTT) to try and focus on just getting at least one solution for the theme out.

The Words By Bangtan theme for August was "Inception":

"At the beginning of the cycle of rebirth; watch your steps and where they lead, trace the former path but don't follow your greed."

I ended up going with translations of a line from "Moving On" off HYYH Pt1

했던 꾸질한 기억 잊진 말고 딱 넣어두자고 Let’s not forget but keep those pitiful moments

(Translated lyrics from Doolset Bangtan)

I did end up adjusting the english translation slightly, after poking around the translations of individual words (for example 어두자고 translating as "to go to sleep", which immediately brought the phrase "to put (something) to bed" to mind. As you can imagine, given theme of leaving things behind, it snowballed from there.)

Forget-me-Not flowers, the moss and lichen to suggest the long abandoned memories, and crime scene-inspired tape rounds out the piece. Personally it felt like a way to show the idea that old memories can become a kind of crime scene, to go back over and analyze over and over again, trying to work out what went wrong.

i completed a pair of microcrochet myosotis (forget-me-not) earrings as a gift for a work friend. the final day of lessons at the conservatory is tomorrow and while i hope we will stay friends and see each other again, life can be sad that way. she has always supported my crocheting, positively squeeing at the micro scale of the things i love to make, so i want to show how much i appreciate her kind encouragement since i started working there. in large part because of her, i had the confidence to start a small shop selling my microcrochets and doing commissions for people! i will give them to her tomorrow, i hope she loves them.

Forget-me-not silk postcard.

I recently acquired this unusual postcard from the early 1900′s. It’s called a ‘FAB’ Patchwork Card because it contains a silk patchwork square. The idea was to collect enough different designs to make a patchwork cushion or maybe a quilt with. It was manufactured by W. N. Sharpe of Bradford, England.

To remove the patch from the postcard you had to cut around the dotted line. There are many really lovely floral designs in this series. W. N. Sharpe produced many different series of cards - Edwardian actresses/personalities, views of London, heraldic crests etc.

Own scan from my own postcard..

First Years (+ Ortho and Grim) Finding Your Diary

I've tried starting off with other headcanon ideas but then got all side tracked and lost focus. This idea came up randomly at work recently, so I figured I'd try that for the first set of headcanons I post on here!

Headcanons are under the cut, I hope you all enjoy!

With love, Daisy

Ace Trappola -

- This. Little. SHIT.

- He'll most likely randomly stumble across it after you accidentally left it somewhere, most likely in a class you both have or at his dorm.

- His first instinct is to open it and see who it belongs to only to find out it's your diary.

- ... Ohoho~ this is where the fun begins!

- Motherfucker reads the whole thing, zero hesitation after finding out it's your diary

- His eyes light up upon reading his name for the first time, only for it to be something like:

- "Ace Trappola is... weird."

- *insert first lyric of "You Give Love A Bad Name" here lmao*

- Then he reads on about your changing thoughts about him and boy is he ecstatic!

- He gets so lost into reading it he doesn't even notice when you return to pick up your forgotten diary and caught him reading it until he hears you calling for Riddle to use his signature spell on him.

- Poor bastard

Deuce Spade -

- I have this headcanon that Ace and Deuce like to pull little pranks on each other.

- One of the former's latest pranks involved switching the cover of a book that Deuce had to read for one of Trein's classes and the cover of your diary after he found out you'd left it in the library

- Oh how easily tricked Deuce can be sometimes....

- He obviously fell for it, not realizing his error until he was way too far into your diary to stop reading it.

- His thought process was as follows:

- "Well, that's cool and all, but what does this have to do with the history of magic?"

- "Wait shouldn't this be typed and not handwritten?"

- "Hey this looks like the Prefect's handwriting.... wait, this IS the Prefect's handwriting.... OH SHIT it's their diary!"

- Poor dude's face is BRIGHT red once he pieces it together

- Actually admits to reading it accidentally once you return to retrieve your diary, only to get teased by you and Ace for having read it

Jack Howl -

- Your diary cover and his notebook cover look similar to him.

- So after you go to look for a book in the library to help with the History of Magic project the two of you have, Jack prepares to take notes on the books you've found so far.

- He reads about three pages before realizing his mistake in grabbing your diary instead of his own notebook.

- And BOY is he absolutely mortified when he realizes-

- Now Jack has a bit of an internal conflict: he knows he messed up and accidentally read part of something that should remain private to you....

- ... BUT he also is too far invested in an entry about his dorm mates for him to just stop reading it.

- Against his better judgment, he continues to read your diary, his ears perking up and tail wagging when he comes across his own name for the first time.

- He's so entranced by your writing and a bit flustered upon reading the compliments you give him in the entry he's reading until...

- "Shishishishi~ you are NOT slick at all, Jack! What would the Prefect think when they find out you - of all people - read their diary?"

- Jack profusely apologizes to you once you return with Ruggie in front of you, almost crying from laughter at his dorm mate's embarrassment.

Epel Felmier -

- He's seen you carry your diary around before and during classes the two of you had together, but he always assumed it was just a sketchbook.

- He becomes a bit more suspicious when he tries to see what you're drawing, only for you to shield it from his prying eyes.

- Since then, Epel made it his mission to figure out what it was you were trying to hide from him.

- Until he overheard you shouting at Ace one time for reading your diary.

- Oh, so that's what that was....

- His temptations to read your diary overcame his fear of your reactions once he noticed you accidentally left it behind in his room one day.

- Epel beams with pride upon stumbling across his name for the first time, blushing when he comes across this gem:

- "I don't get why Vil always makes Epel hide his accent, I think it makes him more handsome than he already is!"

- His mind explodes as he reads that sentence over and over again, ecstatic until he's interrupted by...

- "Um... Epel? Why are rolling on the floor with my diary clutched to your chest?"

- Shit, he got caught.

Ortho Shroud -

- Your diary and one of Idia's sketchbooks look very similar to each other.

- Although Ortho can usually tell the difference between the two, he thought he'd stumbled across his brother's sketchbook not long after you'd headed back to Ramshackle from a long day of gaming with him.

- It only took him opening up to a random page to find writing that looked nothing like that of his big brother to realize his mistake.

- Poor boy nearly overheated with guilt and embarrassment once he figured out his error.

- Though he was tempted to read on, he thought it best to simply return your diary to you.

- Ortho apologizes profusely once he made it to Ramshackle and explained what had happened.

- Of course, it didn't take long for you to forgive and thank the ray of sunshine for returning your diary

Sebek Zigvolt -

- He first stumbled across the plain-looking journal after you left a sparring practice with him and Silver.

- Poor boy tried to return it, but didn't know who it belonged to.

- So what was the first thing Sebek decided to do? Open the journal to find out who the owner is of course!

- But with his thick fingers, he accidentally flips it open to a page in the middle, immediately finding a description of someone who sounds a lot like Malleus, but under the name "Hornton."

- Hm, what an odd name... but this "Hornton" fellow sounds as interesting as Waka Sama!

- He becomes so heavily invested in the entry he found, nearly losing his focus entirely until...

- "Sebek! I'm surprised at you! What are you thinking, reading the Prefect's diary so openly? Kheehehe~"

- "Master Lilia, it's not what you think! It's just a notebook left behind by... oh. Oh.... OH MY SEVENS, IT IS THEIR DIARY!"

- rip in peace to this sweet boy

- He has Silver go to return your diary to you as he's too embarrassed to do so himself lol

Grim -

- Oh, if you thought Ace was bad after he got a hold of your diary...

- Grim is at least 1,000 times worse

- Not only has this little asshole read your diary cover to cover many times,...

- ... he also came up with the BRILLIANT idea to use some of your entries as blackmail to make you get him extra cans of tuna for the day

- Usually the entries involving your "confusing feelings towards that Hornton guy"

- No matter what clever hiding spot you may put your precious diary in, Grim is sure to find it later that week at the longest.

- Despite him being a little shit and threatening to spill your secrets, he never acts on these threats

- After all, once you threatened to start getting a worse quality kind of tuna, he knew you had more willpower than he did.

- And he knows better than to genuinely piss of his henchman
