Bonus Round 1/Semi-finals: Asterids vs Other Core Eudicots!
Spiky vs Toxic
Asterids: Down to earth, practical, and here to mess you up. The clade of potatoes, olive oil, coffee, dandelions, tobacco, and poison hemlock. RIP Socrates.
Other Core Eudicots: An ornery bunch, here we’ve got carnivorous plants, cacti, spinach, currants, and…tumbleweed? Also sandlewood, because this paraphyletic group likes to smell nice when it goes into the ring.
(What's a eudicot? The class that won the previous round. More info here. Many taxonomic categories can be divided up into "basal" and "core" members, the basal ones splitting off the evolutionary tree relatively early on, while the core ones have a more recent common ancestor.)

Snapdragons, Chapter 12: Attempts at Ataraxia
The day breaks after reunion and with it comes a flood of uncertainty about what the future holds: not just for their arrangement, but for so much more.
After a 2 year hiatus, I hope you enjoy and I'll see you soon <3

And when he burst into a rapid series of lighter notes she was not surprised to see primroses suddenly appearing in every direction.

Photo
[Image description: Three art pieces of flower-themed mermaids with bouquets for tail fins. Each one is wearing earrings of their flower and has a sort of spiky halo around their head.
Image 1: A tulip mermaid. She is thin with medium brown skin, pink hair done in a bun resembling a tulip bud, a pink tail, and a yellow headband with a bow at the back. She is sitting with her tail bent like knees and holding three tulips - one yellow, one red, one pink. The tip of her tail has three larger but otherwise identical tulips.
Image 2: A hydrangea mermaid. She is chubby with light skin, long wavy purple hair, a shiny light purple tail, and a head circlet of light purple hydrangeas. She is smiling and looking to the right. The tip of her tail has several hydrangea clusters in shades of pink, purple, and blue, and the hip portion has more hydrangeas forming chains.
Image 3: A rose mermaid. She has dark brown skin, natural hair in two large side buns, a green tail, and pink and yellow hair clips. She holds a bouquet of roses in various shades of pink that matches the one at the end of her tail.

Bonus Round Finals! Basal Eudicots vs Asterids!
🌻 vs 🪷
Basal Eudicots: Here be funky flowers: the sacred lotus, poppies, the king protea of South Africa and the waratah of Australia. Also, macademia nuts.
Asterids: Down to earth, practical, and here to mess you up. The clade of potatoes, olive oil, coffee, dandelions, tobacco, and poison hemlock. RIP Socrates.
(Edit: Basal Eudicots with an A, not with an I, nothing to do with basil -- basil is in the asterids, actually -- OOPS guess I should have checked for typos before posting.)
#asterids#basal eudicots#plant taxonomy showdown#battle of the plants#bonus round finals#bonus round#plant bracket#tumblr bracket#bracket tournament#poll bracket#at least I set the poll to one week#my worst fear is I'll post one of these accidentally set to one day

here are some new snapdragons "headcanons" from twitter (or, retrospring, rather). i did this years ago: just provided silly little world details for fun, and someone asked me for more, so i provided. figured i'd post them here too if anyone was interested :)
the first shitty, used car that dream got in high school was the most horrific shade of brownish-yellow that he's ever seen and his friends DID absolutely drag him for it, so every single car he's gotten since has been a painfully boring gray to compensate for that trauma
dream is genuinely afraid of dogs, despite his deep desire to not be. he pet his neighbor's pomeranian when he first moved in and it's just about the bravest thing he's done in a while
(this will mean nothing if you've never been to chicago but this one is for me only) one of george's coworkers dragged him all the way out to kasia's immediately after he moved in, and he has been veritably obsessed with pierogis ever since. he makes the hour-long hike every other month to stock his freezer because he SWEARS the prepackaged ones they sell in the local grocery stores don't taste the same
cat has this dumb neon yellow collar with bows all over it that george bought as a joke, but it's been two years and he's starting to think it's not a joke anymore
dream isn't the most outdoorsy guy, but he got dragged into camping in the eastern sierra nevadas with some of his friends in college and it immediately became one of his favorite places on earth
george had hamsters growing up, and absolutely lost his seven-year-old mind when the first one died. there's still a little single-brick tombstone in the family home's back garden, even though the text george had painted on it has long since worn off from exposure to the sun and the rain
on george's second time staying over at dream's, he snored incredibly loudly for a solid hour, and dream has just chosen to never, ever bring this up. it hasn't happened again since
down the line (meaning: when they're together), they try to buy a bigger cat tree and spend about three weeks viciously bickering about it before simply not buying one because it turns out that patches is now enamored with an old hat box that dream picked up at a flea market one saturday
george has, in fact, picked up all of dream's streaming passwords since they started their arrangement. during their period of separation, dream would occasionally check george's profiles to see what he was watching. it was all nature shows, for some reason (this is about me sobbing over albatrosses while rewatching Planet Earth after my first break up)

Imagine Asterid resenting Haymitch for how he cut everyone he loved off after Lenore dove died, only to understand him when Burdock died.

“I just stare into those burning blue eyes, letting her know she’s not dying alone. She’s with family. She’s with me. In her last moments, she released her grip enough to lock her pinkie around mine. Looking, I think, for a final confirmation of the promise we made to eachother. I not so she knows I understand and that I will try my best to bring the Capitol down, although I have never felt so powerless in my entire life.” (SOTR 307)
In the end, he does fulfils his promise. To Maysilee. To Ampert. And to Lenore Dove.
