Soft Modern!Mizu Headcanons

Loves ASMR. Likes Japanese soft spoken ASMR. There’s a nice older woman ASMRtist on Youtube that reminds her of how her mom would speak when she was little.

Has a plague doctor plushie.

Very much into the cottagecore aesthetic. Loves the idea of having a quiet little stone cottage with ivy growing up the side, shutter windows, and a little garden behind.

Speaking of gardening, her adoptive father taught her how to garden when she was small. He’d raised her on the smell of wet soil and the feeling of digging her little hands through to pull up the vegetables. She doesn’t have room for a garden in her little college apartment, but she does have a windowsill planter where she grows basil and rosemary for cooking.

Curls up in fetal position when napping.

Uses scrunchies to tie her hair up. Blue and black are the most common colors.

Mizu follows hopecore stuff on every social media platform and saves her favorite quotes and videos to a folder in her phone.

Mizu’s first sleepover is in college with you and Akemi. Akemi got all of you matching pajamas but in different colors and ya’ll made cookies and watched childhood movies Mizu’s never seen like Barbie. And I mean the CLASSIC Barbie movies like "Rapunzel" and "Princess and the Pauper". She makes lighthearted, snarky comments the first half of the movies but by the end you see how her eyes are bright as she sits in front of the TV.

Ringo taught her about wishing on dandelions. If she doesn’t pick them to use herself when she sees them, she saves them for you or her friends.

She’ll doodle on your arm with pen when she’s bored in the one class you share together.

She’s not the baby of her friend group, she’s the second youngest, right before Akemi. But she’s the baby of the group. It’s just, no one outright tells her so she doesn’t get defensive. Akemi will braid her hair for her before kenjutsu practice, because she never learned how. Ringo will always keeps snacks in his bag for her, and pulls them out when he sees her holding her stomach with the slight pinching of her eyes hinting that she’s upset and pained. Taigen and her are, you know, but when he sees her in a four v one fight against upperclassman he jumps at one of the guys, swinging without hesitation.

Mikio never got her flowers. But when roses show up on her kitchen table with a note in your handwriting, she has a moment where her heart is fluttering. Her eyes close as she brings one close and inhales its floral perfume with a soft smile.

Mizu drinking a milkshake.

She hung fairy lights on the ceiling of her room.

One time for a college event Akemi absolutely doused her hair with silvery spray on glitter. Her raven hair ended up sparkling like the night sky and she got so many compliments she started getting flustered. She'd hide behind Ringo and Taigen when she would see groups of girls walking by that would gasp at how pretty her hair looked and come closer to either compliment her or ask her where she got the glitter.

Thermotropism

eyy where my plant fuckers at? 👀🌱🌿 you can read it on AO3 here

I don’t think I should have taken this plant home…

Like, when I saw it baking in the sun in that alley outside my building, it’d looked like it had a lot of potential! It was all shriveled but the leaves branched out from a thick basal stem like a monstera almost and there were these bright red blotches on its roots that looked super cool!

When I brought it in (heavy!!) I could tell just by looking how root bound it was, so I popped it out of it’s cheap decorative planter (poor thing was probably never repotted) and yup, there were more roots than dirt.

I had no idea what the hell it was. Inatural had no frickin clue. It looked like a tropical plant with it’s broad green leaves and knobbly aerial roots, but the ground roots were so thick they looked like tubers!! 

I have to admit I was fascinated, but I should have gotten rid of it then…

It spent uh, a couple weeks underneath my shitty little plant light, the one in my room. I was quarantining it in there until I knew it didn’t have any critters on it, but it seemed happy with its repotting and daily soakings for the most part.

The thing really liked water

Like, I started off watering it once a week, and it did perk up, but it didn’t really change much until I started dousing it every morning before work.

And man when it started goin off, it really went off.

It seemed like every time I came home it had sent out a new aerial root or new leaf! The thing was voluptuous as hell! When it got too big for my pathetic little plant light I moved it to the window sill next to my bed. 

It was kinda nice! Like a natural blind or something once it got its runners going up the screen.

I didn’t mind, it was always hot as hell in my little apartment and my landlord couldn’t be arsed to install an AC. I just had to be careful not to accidentally crawl over the little shoots it was sending out all over when I got into bed.

I guess where I fucked up is when I found out about.. its uh.. nutrient preferences

I swear it was a complete accident the first time!! 

I had just gotten home from another 10 hr day and I was tired and smelly and needed to jerk off pronto. I hosed myself down and threw myself into bed, still steaming from trying to scrub off the smell of fried food from my skin, and cracked open my laptop.

Now, fun fact, there's this thing that plants do where they move towards things. Most of the time its towards light, but they can also be attracted to heat! It’s called thermotropism. So I dunno if it was the heat from my ancient laptop or the steam off my skin, but just as I'm about to nut I feel something brush against the head of my dick.

It took me so much by surprise that I came right there, frickin coating a leaf in my jizz. The thing had turned completely around from facing the window above my bed to nearly touching me with its broad soft leaf.

Even for a tropical plant that’s shockingly mobile.

So I cleaned it off as best I could but I guess some of my spunk got absorbed into the soil, I dunno, I passed out shortly after that. I didn’t wake up until nearly nine o clock the next morning because the room was still completely dark thanks to the density of the wall of leaves covering my window. The plant had frickin doubled in size and the terracotta pot I had repotted it in had some fresh cracks in it where the aerial roots were exploding out through.

I didn’t have time to freak out about it since I was once again late to work, but I gotta admit, I was digging the jumanjI vibes it brought to my otherwise very dull room 

So.. I may have started jerking off into it every night?

What! It’s like, natural fertilizer, or whatever!! And the plant seemed to like it? 

I even got it to flower!! It started putting out these crazy flower stalks that closed up during the day but unfurled at night giving off this crazy floral fragrant scent.

It made me remember being a kid and running around in the woods behind my stepdads rental cabin, so I let it keep spreading.

I realize now, this was not the smartest idea, but fuck it, my landlord all but explicitly told me I wasn’t getting the deposit back unless I sued him for it so when it started putting its roots into the drywall, I let it.

It was nice honestly, coming home after seeing nothing but concrete grey for hours and then throwing myself into my little tropical nest. And the smell of the flowers really set the mood when I was jerkin it.

Embarrassingly I think my mind started associating the smell with orgasm because I swear I walked past a florist shop the other day and had to walk bowlegged to the 7D train.

The trouble really started when it started sending its roots in my direction .

Now, I ain’t proud of it, but I more often than not just sleep on a bare mattress. Its got one of those memory foam layers on top and I just couldn’t be bothered to put a fitted sheet on it half the time.

So when I started feeling a bump underneath me as I lay in bed, I just thought it was like, a sock  or something that had gotten shoved underneath there, nbd, until that night… 

I was feeling particularly pent up and kept grinding my ass against that spot on the mattress. I don’t know why I did it, I just wanted more friction and the blooms on the ceiling above me were gettin me wound up with their heavy fragrance. Anyway, it feels like there's a soft tear below me and suddenly something hard and Wide and cold is pressing right against my gooch.

I kinda jump (because it’s cold!!) and look down to find that the frickin plant has grown into the mattress !!

And it was a fat root too, no idea how I didn’t notice it more earlier.

It was kindof freaky to be honest how fast it had grown, the thing really must have liked my semen, but at that point with how humid the room was and how dizzy the flowers were making me feel… I went with it.

 I ground my ass into it and when the thick ridge popped in past my ring I swear I came harder than I ever have in my life dude

I felt like I blacked out a little at the end there because the next thing I knew, it was morning and I'm absolutely painted in my own cum. I guess at this point I should have realized what was going on but I think the pollen those flowers were putting out were scrambling my brains a little. When I woke up, there was a network of thin bright red roots crisscrossing my body, sending out these feathery little things, absorbing the frankly ludicrous amounts of cum I had shot out last night. They pulled at my skin a little as I tore them off but part of me was still a little horny. So I cleared them away and and pulled out my phone.

Fuck it, right? It was my day off and I had no responsibilities that day anyway.

I just rolled over and started going to town on my morning wood.

My ass twitched around something and that's when I noticed...

The fuckin root was still in my ass from last night!!!

I'm trying to use one hand to milk my dick while the other one shoots down in between my legs and sure enough, that fuckin root had buried itself who knows how deep! I tried in vain to pull the thing out, but it was rooted in the mattress after all and didn’t budge. So, humiliatingly, I had to pull myself off of it.

I have to admit, I came a little just from feeling how much of it was inside of me, there was a good 7 inches of thick knobby root dragged out of me, grinding against my prostate as I pulled myself off of it.

I just lay there breathless, staring at the root, sticking straight up out out of my mattress now that it was no longer buried in my ass. My inner walls twitched and contracted, trying to close around the space it had carved out in me.

I guess I still had some sense then because I did actually prune the plant after that

I pulled the root out of my ruined mattress and trimmed all the stalks and roots near my bed. I started jerking off in the bathroom and yea the leaves wilted a bit but that was too much for me, you know?

Well, I don’t know if plants can get pissed but I must have pissed this one off because it responded to me suddenly not “fertilizing” it by sending out these little sticky climbers that got everywhere.

I woke up one morning to the fuckers wrapped around my tiny nipples. I went to sit up and yelped because they got yanked by the fuckin things, pulling my chest to the side. I tried to pull it off as delicately as I could, but the thin stems snapped in half, bleeding a reddish sort of liquid all over my chest!

It sort of burned but I just yelled at the plant, wiped it off and got dressed for work.

Now, I don’t know if I was allergic or something, but for the rest of that day my nipples stayed hard and puffy, poking out visibly from underneath my thin uniform shirt and earning more than a few snickers from the girls up front.

Good thing I had a vacation week coming up.

It had been asked for months in advance, and was the first one I’d had in a decade. I was supposed to drive out to the lake across the state to hang with a buddy of mine at his parents bougie lake house. Well, that night was the night before I was due to head out, and I went to bed in my travel clothes so I could just pop out of bed in the morning. Not wanting to ruin my clothes, I watered the Plant like usual and saved the jerking for when I got to my buddies place.

I was just on the edge of unconsciousness when I felt something moving up my shirt sleeve. I couldn’t tell if I was dreaming it or not so I just laid there, feeling the thing slowly snake its way up to my chest, resting on the sensitive swollen bud there 

I only really tried to react when I felt a second tendril branch out from the first and start oozing that same irritating sap over my OTHER nipple!

Groggily I straightened up, falling for the same headphones on the doorknob trap as last time, but this time it felt a lot better.

My nips hadn't really gone down since that last time so when they got yanked I thought a yelp of pain was what was gonna come out of my mouth, so imagine my surprise when a full bodied moan slipped out instead.

I immediately got super red in the face and yanked off my shirt.

This, unfortunately, snapped the thin tendrils stem, causing it to bleed more of its spicy sap all along my side and chest as I shucked off my shirt.

It left an angry red trail of raised sensitive skin, swelling my nipples far beyond what was normal, and they stuck out of my chest like two puffy toilet plungers out from my swelling pecs.

I tried to pull the tendrils off of them but they were too tight and my nipples were too big now.

I looked up from groping my chest to see how many of the plant’s flowers had opened up above me, showering me in who knows what.

I couldn’t take it anymore, I was openmouth panting, inhaling the perfume and palming my shorts which had at some point started to fill out. I ripped my shorts off too, and only after a few strokes realized how deeply I had just fucked up

If you guessed “that idiot just smeared a sap he’s clearly allergic to all over the most sensitive part of his body” you would be correct...

I was howling in pain as it started to burn, but after a minute or two I was thrusting into the air and moaning like a whore, the fire had turned into an electric storm of pleasure.

My dick was swelling way past normal hardness and I could only continue to try and fuck the hell out of my hand.

It was entirely too humid in that room, everything felt wet and sticky, so when I came finally, I barely even felt it on me

I screamed so loud the neighbors probably thought I was dying I probably did die a little... I think I shot into my own mouth at one point??  I collapsed immediately after, and when I woke in the morning, the whole plant looked shiny and glossy, like it was gloating over the fact it’d gotten me to come for it yet again.

I know it was just a plant but I got mad

I jumped out of bed, completely ignoring the tendrils still wrapped around my nips, put a thick jacket over my shirt and left the room with my suitcase while flipping it the bird.

I felt bad that I would be gone for a week but I’d set it up with a slow release watering pitcher, so I figured it’d be fine without me.

What I didn’t plan on was how I would do without it.

What should have been a great vacation turned into the worst case of blueballs seen this side of the Mississippi.

Not only did my nipples constantly pulse and throb against the tendrils, but I found out later when I went to go use the bathroom that one had slipped around the base of my dick as well, which had also refused to recede back to its normal size. The woody chord was a bit thicker and it wrapped around the base and balls, completely blocking any and all attempts to even get hard.

So instead of focusing on the boat ride or my friends stupid alcohol choices, I was stuck in a constant struggle of being aroused by my throbbing nipples and being unable to address it at all. I was actually filled with relief when the final day came and I was saying goodbye to my hosts.

I flew home after that in my tiny little beater car, shifting uncomfortably at my seatbelt rubbing directly against my chest. I practically kicked the door in, shedding all my clothes in a line to my bedroom and threw myself into bed.

I yelped when I landed on several thick somethings beneath my body creak under my weight, poking me through the thin layer of foam.

The Plant was the worst I’d seen it since I brought it home, with several dead leaves deposited on the bed and an explosion of fuzzy white runners running the length of that bedroom wall.

The roots jabbed into me like it had planned this.

“Ow!” I’d said, “ I'm sorry ok? I just needed a break!”

As a response, I watched a giant cream white flower slowly expand and burst open, sending a shower of shimmery yellow pollen floating down directly over my face.

Things uh, got a little out of hand after that…

The tendrils had finally loosened enough around my dick to where I could pull them off but that just led to all my pent up semen literally dumping into my balls as soon as the tie was removed. I moaned as I could physically feel them growing heavier as a weeks worth of pent up jizz dropped into my balls. They felt like leaden weights.

It was almost painful how quickly I got hard, and it didn’t take more than a stroke or two before I was yelling and releasing said load all over myself and the plant.

You could visibly see it perk up, opening up more buds, showering me with pollen and dusting the bed. The two substances got mixed by my frantic motions and soon I was lightly cheeto dusted with the stuff,

My skin was on fire but it also.. uh, felt really good somehow... So once the high of the first orgasm died down, it wasn't long before I was rarin to go for a second round.

I palmed my recovering erection and was just about fully hard when I felt it.

Again, at my ass!! Was one of the plant’s thick basal roots!! Except this one looked a little weird..

First off it was tremendously thick, about the width of my wrist, and secondly it was covered in all these little backwards facing ridges, like a drywall sink

Man, I don’t know what wires go crossed but between the way my ass was twitching and the pollen I was huffing, I put my ass right against that thing

It must have reacted to my bodyheat because it felt like as I was pressing down on it, the thing was pushing into me as well.

It was intense, there was no give to its turgid walls, so I had to stretch myself out around it to get it past my ring.

Once it was properly seated inside me I started going to town on my dick, which at this point was leaking like my kitchen sink maintenance had refused to address for weeks.

I swear I could feel the root get deeper and deeper inside me as I jerked and spasmed around it I was panting and moaning like a bitch, I can’t believe how horny I was

at some point I felt something at my mouth and wouldn’t you know it, an equally thick tuber had been drawn to my hot breath and was poking at the corner of my lips

I was way past the point of rational thoughts at that point, I just leaned forward and let it creep into my mouth.

The further it got the hotter I felt. My tongue swiped across the underside and that’s when I tasted something sweet

Was this root leaking sap??

Turns out the itchy nectar tasted amazing so I ended up suckling it as I frantically jerked my dick. The root inside my ass had reached my prostate at that point and thats when things got really hazy for me.

I remember exploding all over myself, I would have been screaming if not for the thick root tunneling its way down my throat

I was jerking and spasming to the best of my ability but the roots were getting a little out of control, they were budding from the base of the main roots and expanding all over my body, and every couple of inches they would plant a sticky little node like a command strip onto my skin and keep going, until I could barely move.

The only part that hadn’t been covered was my right arm, which was moving too fast jerking myself off for the tendrils to colonize.

The root in my mouth seemed to expand further, and suddenly I realized that I could still breath despite it feeling like it had reached my guts almost.

My tongue felt a small hole on the underside and sure enough, I could breath just fine.

Good thing too because that’s when I noticed the two thinner roots making their way up my nose, expanding into my nostrils and plugging them completely.

The root in my ass must have had the same idea...

At this point I was slowly starting to realize, like, “oh shit, I really can’t move” and started trying to pull things off of me to escape bu t I honestly couldn’t budge. My left arm was completely rooted to the mattress and my right arm couldn’t be lifted above my waist, just enough to reach my dick but not enough to reach my face.

Leaves were starting to branch out from the tendrils, and with them came more flowers.

They were visibly crawling all over me now, moving fast enough for me to track with my eyes, and I watched in horror as several thin tendrils spiraled up my cock.

I wish I could have broken away but I was quite literally rooted to the spot watching these tendrils poke at my leaking pisshole and worm their way inside.

I screamed and cried but the progress was unceasing, it steadily tunneled into my dick until it hit the base and pinched my prostate against the root in my ass, which at this point must have reached high up into my guts.

I screamed against the root as I came, but no semen escaped my completely plugged dick.

I could feel it making its way inside my through my internal passages, rooting itself straight into my balls, 

At that point I really did pass out, whether from lack of oxygen or overstimulation I couldn’t tell.

Well, I'm awake now and I am utterly fucked, the roots have expanded into nearly every available orifice, even trying to fill out my belly button and uh.. they might have broken through the skin...

I can see ridges beneath my skin.. little hard lines were they’ve penetrated me.

I'm being constantly milked and I can’t even move as they constantly grind against the inside of my cock

I'm not even thirsty or anything, the liquid being drip-fed down my throat fills me up and I'm just kept in a constant state of bliss.

I dunno what to do bro, I have my phone but even texting is getting hard with one hand and roots slowly crawling down my fingers…

you’re the only one close enough to me, theres a key underneath the mat..

you gotta help me man before it's too la

A new day, a new dead plant

The morning air was crisp and fresh, the summer sun already warming the earth to a slightly uncomfortable temperature by the time most of the world was awake. It never ceased to amaze him how drastic the earths temperatures could be throughout the year. It always made him long for the carefree summers of his youth on Philos, running through warm tall grasses with not a wanderer in sight. 

Despite his sunglasses, the sun already felt too bright. Especially with the dark backpack he wore, perspiration had begun on his back through his thin white shirt, only making him more uncomfortable as he stood outside her apartment complex. The flowers in the planters surrounding the building already looked sorely parched, and added to the dizzying scent of summer smells as the last of the morning evaporated away. A few thoughts came to mind. One, that he should have remembered to get a haircut, two, that despite their agreed upon time, she was late. A strange sensation of humor tickled his brain, knowing that the woman he had known had always been exceptionally punctual.

Another minute passed and finally she texted to indicate that the front gate was open for him. He passed through, and headed up the familiar elevator. Although she was a floor beneath Xavier, the layout in the hall was identical. Since she and Xavier were neighbors, it wasn’t his first time at the complex, but it was his first time without Xavier’s knowledge of him being there. At first he’d felt inclined to let him know he’d be stopping by, but thought better of it. It was an interesting coincidence to him that she was quite literally the exact apartment beneath her fellow hunter. He couldn’t help but wonder if maybe it was too coincidental… then again, despite Xavier’s patient way of calculating things, Jeremiah had noticed that things just tended to just happen in the mans favor. 

The door swung open and he couldn’t help but smile at her overtly enthusiastic greeting.

”Hello, sir! Welcome to my humble abode! Thanks for coming.”

He’d never known her to be one for theatrics, it made him want to laugh. The pink over-all dress she wore with soft white chiffon sleeves was mostly modest in appearance, although seeing her so casual and cute made him feel like maybe he was seeing a side of her that he wasn’t supposed to. And also that it could be more teasing fuel against Xavier later.

As he followed her inside, she offered him common hospitalities, which he gently refused, suddenly not wanting to invade her space too much. While he had felt comfortable and informal with her, he realized that he just wasn’t a part of her life. This was an acquaintance-in-her-home-for-a-quick-assist thing. Not a longtime-friend-hangout thing. The backpack he brought was set at his feet, grateful for the cool of the air conditioning inside. He spared a glance around, trying not to be too invasive, although, feeling exceptionally curious about what type of person she’d become here. It was a different layout than Xavier’s, neat, with plenty of feminine touches here and there. Scattered around were a few familiar plants and florals. It felt surreal to be there.

Almost as if she picked up on the mental “business” attitude, she retrieved her ailing succulent and set it on the thin kitchen bar in front of him.  “See!” She indicated, incredulous. “I barely water it. I feel like a succulent should be pretty hard to kill. Am I just that bad at this?”

Taking it, he examined it, humming in thought, albeit a bit amused. In fact, there was not a single thing he had known her to ever be bad at. Ever. To realize she had such an anti-green thumb was almost…endearing. "How often are you watering it?” He asked.

"Let's see... probably once every 3 days? I know I'm not supposed to water it every day."

"I see. And where do you normally put it?"

She lead him around, stepping into her room. It was one thing to be in her home, and another to be in the very room she slept. Whatever he had imagined the day before, he was not prepared to be stepping inside. A fluffy carpet caught his eye and a few glittering objects. The cuteness of all of it left him in awe. The brilliant commander he’d known, with soft feminine touches. He wondered if she was like this all along, secretly. Then again, it wasn’t as if they had opportunities to let their objective personalities be on display very much in matching uniforms during a war. 

Moving a little awkwardly, he followed her to the window next to her bed, where he asked her a few questions about the angle of the sun throughout the day and the draft from the air conditioning, take his time in explaining that despite the window being closed, the heat would still radiate inside from the glass. She seemed to listen eagerly, but he felt the urge to tease that it wouldn’t last despite her efforts. 

“You say you’re paying attention but I saw the other dying plants around your living room. Shall I start writing a eulogy for your succulent soon?”

“What? Not fair! Let me show you my pothos. I promise it’s doing so much better ever since I started following your instructions!” She exclaimed, guiding him back through her room to the kitchen area where she picked up the leafy pothos. It was admittedly doing much better than the last time he’d seen it.

“Alright, I guess someone can follow instructions.”

For some reason, she beamed up at him proudly. “Yes! I’ll keep getting better.”

He took another glance around, laughing internally at the sight of more dying plants next to her television set. Just then he noticed the absence of a rather large object.

“Where exactly did you put your prize from last night? I didn’t see if in your room.”

“Oh! This way. It’s on the balcony."

He followed her outside to her balcony, noting that it was decently spacious, enough for a pair of seats, a small table, a few plants, and a large plush toy with two significantly smaller plush toys posed in front of it. He fleetingly wondered if this is where she and Xavier spent days off.

“So I see it’s found its home here.”

"Yeah! And those are its siblings, the matching set. Xavier helped me catch those actually from the claw machine at the arcade by the complex."

Ah, so they are meeting outside of work. Good.

“Really?” He remarked, trying to sound surprised. “I didn't know he had it in him."

“Actually,” She laughed leaning against the wall against the balcony. “He has a whole book on how to win at claw machines."

Jeremiah laughed, trying to think of how best to spur her interest further. "He has a whole host of strange books. He’s an interesting fellow. Which, I’m sure you'll find the more you get to know him.”

The breeze picked up, carrying her hair and a light fruity scent with it. It was a welcome relief from the warmer weather outside. Throughout his fragmented memories, there wasn’t a time he could recall where he noted her wearing scented fragrance, except, probably for a special occasion. 

“Ah, speaking of books, I brought you something."

"You brought me something?” She asked, interest piqued. 

He slipped inside and retrieved a book from the backpack he’d brought, grinning at the title. A quick glance at the time told him he shouldn’t overstay what was supposed to be a quick bout of assistance. Just like before, he had to tell himself not to get too comfortable. 

Returning to the balcony, he slid the door shut behind him, and handed her the book. ‘How to Keep Plants Alive: For Dummies.’

She made a face, wrinkling her nose at him but laughed. "Jeremiah!"

The familiar tone was the one he missed the most. It was the voice he heard most often, right after teasing her. The tone was familiar but the expression was new. Normally, it had been of irritation along with a usual punch in the arm. It didn't come. Whether is was the warm weather or from the gesture of receiving such a gimmicky book, her cheeks were lightly tinted pink to match her dress.

"I'm not that bad, am I?” She was saying in despair.

"Worst I've seen. Of alllllll my customers, you're the most murderous.” As he saw her expression of helplessness, yet alight with humor, he continued teasing. "You're lucky your plants have me. Look at them! You’ve given them anxiety."

Now she bit her lip to stifle a laugh and did thwack him in the arm. He laughed, pulling away and putting his arms up to block his chest as if expecting another hit. It may have been the heightened sun, but he did feel warm inside. 

“I’ll study and do better!” She whined.

“You just need to master the basics! Pay attention to the water and light. Keep an eye on the AC drafts. You’ll get it. I think your succulent will survive, they’re pretty resilient.” He comforted, in contrast to his words earlier, only able to handle teasing her so much before caving to her tone, having been totally caught off guard by how earnest she sounded. “But," He continued, indicating behind him towards the living room on the other side of the wall. “That drooping plant by your TV? That one has a disease.”

“A disease?” she asked in disbelief.“Now I know you're making things up. How can you tell?!”

"I'm not!" He took the book from her hands, opened it, flipped to a section, then handed it to her. "Check that out."

“Oh…” She said in awe, examining the pages in shock

“See the health suggestions?” He leaned over, a little closer to her than intended “I think you can save it. I carry that stuff in my shop. It says if you spray it at least once a day, you can probably bring it back.”

Just then the doorbell rang. Jeremiah felt his shoulders tense.

"Oh, sorry, might be a package.” She left to answer the door and he could’ve sworn her cheeks had turned an even darker shade of pink. 

A minute later, a familiar voice inside told him everything he needed to know.

Time to go.

Stepping inside, he found himself face to face with his friend in a casual white hoodie, which he found ridiculous considering the weather.

"What a coincidence." Xavier said, his expressive eyes saying more than words could.

She explained to him animatedly that Xavier was stopping by to drop off a video game for her to try, in turn explained to Xavier Jeremiah’s reason for stopping by.

“I didn’t know we all had the same day off. We should do something!”

"Actually," Xavier said with a nod towards him, “Jeremiah, I thought you were usually busy with research on Saturdays?" 

Jeremiah drew a breath and went to pick up his backpack off the ground. “Sorry, he’s right! I was about to head out. My plant doctoring was all done anyways. But, you two have fun with that video game!”

“Oh,” She sounded disappointed, but he wasn’t sure if that’s just because she liked doing group activities? He couldn’t imagine why else. "Maybe one of these days you can take a Saturday off and we can all go have a fun night like we did yesterday.” She offered, smiling.

Xavier looked perplexed. ”Fun... night?"

He didn't know.

"Yeah!" She cuts in, excited. “Jeremiah helped me get the limited edition plush I was talking to you about!”

“Did he?” Xavier looked right at his eyes.

… Great.

Jeremiah took a step back, waving as if suddenly in a rush. 

“You really missed out, Xav. You two should go tonight. Anyways… I should really get going. See you!”

She called over to him, waving back, ”Sorry you were busy today. Thanks for stopping by!” Xavier was standing very close to her, a softer expression now.

Just like old times, Jeremiah knew when to take his leave. If merely hearing his voice from the balcony was enough to send Xavier running downstairs, then Jeremiah counted that as an entertaining win. All the more reason to continue teasing.

Despite telling himself this, he couldn't stop feeling a little regretful, if not disappointed. The feeling lingered in his heart as he headed back to his base hidden in the shop to get some work done. If the feeling was only a desire to be with his friends like old times, then he assumed there would be more opportunities in the future. What mattered was her proximity to Xavier. He tried to shrug it off.

If it mattered to see her, he’d have to find opportunities to somehow not be in the way when Xavier was around. The mere thought of it made him roll his eyes to himself on the bus.

How to Decorate Small Venues for Your Wedding

When it comes to planning a wedding, the size of the venue doesn’t always dictate the atmosphere you can create. Whether you're hosting an intimate gathering or a more low-key affair, decorating a small venue presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities. The key to decorating small venues is maximizing the space, creating focal points, and ensuring the decor complements the venue's size while making it feel grand and stylish.

Here are some expert tips to help you decorate a small wedding venue without overcrowding the space:

1. Use Vertical Space Wisely

In small venues, one of the best ways to create a feeling of openness and grandeur is by using vertical space. Instead of focusing only on the floor, use height to your advantage. By drawing the eye upward, you can make the space feel more expansive and dramatic.

a) Draping and Fabrics

Ceiling draping or hanging fabric can make a small venue look more elegant and expansive. Light, airy fabrics like chiffon, tulle, or satin can be draped across the ceiling or along walls to add depth and texture.

Tip: Use neutral tones or soft pastels to keep the space feeling open and bright. You can also add twinkling fairy lights to the draping to create a magical ambiance.

b) Hanging Flowers and Greenery

Instead of crowding the tables with flowers, consider hanging floral arrangements or greenery from the ceiling. Floral chandeliers, hanging planters, or flower garlands can draw the eye upward and create an airy, natural feel.

Tip: Hanging lanterns or glass terrariums with candles can also add an elegant touch to your decor.

2. Embrace Minimalism

In a smaller space, it’s important not to overwhelm the room with too many decorations. Keeping things simple and focused will create an elegant, cohesive look.

a) Focus on Key Areas

Highlight specific areas of the venue, such as the ceremony altar, the sweetheart table, or the reception tables, with more elaborate decorations. By focusing on key areas, you prevent the space from feeling cluttered.

b) Choose Quality Over Quantity

Instead of crowding every corner with decor, select a few statement pieces, such as an elaborate floral arrangement, a stunning chandelier, or unique table centerpieces. Sometimes less really is more.

Tip: A few bold pieces, like a large floral arch for the ceremony or a beautiful centerpiece, can have a greater impact than multiple small decorations spread throughout the room.

3. Play with Lighting

Lighting is one of the most powerful tools for transforming the mood and appearance of any space, and it’s especially important in small venues. Proper lighting can open up a small venue, making it feel larger and more inviting.

a) Fairy Lights and String Lights

String lights or fairy lights can make a small venue feel more spacious and magical. Drape them over walls, ceilings, or around window frames to add a soft, romantic glow. You can even hang them behind sheer fabric for a whimsical, dreamy effect.

b) Up-Lighting

Consider placing LED up-lights around the room, especially near walls and columns, to add dimension and highlight key areas. Up-lighting can create a soft glow and make a small venue feel much more spacious.

c) Candles

Candles are an affordable way to create an intimate, warm atmosphere in a small space. You can use candles in various forms—tea lights, pillar candles, or even floating candles in glass bowls—to add depth and elegance.

Tip: Group candles together in clusters for added impact, and place them in mirrored containers to reflect the light and enhance the space.

4. Use Mirrors and Reflective Surfaces

Mirrors and reflective surfaces can instantly make a small venue feel bigger and brighter. They reflect both natural and artificial light, creating the illusion of more space and adding a touch of glamour.

a) Mirrored Tables or Decor

You can incorporate mirrored furniture, like reception tables or stands, into your decor. Mirrors will reflect the surroundings and make the space appear larger. Mirrored trays or frames can also add a touch of sophistication to the overall design.

b) Reflective Accents

Using metallic elements such as gold or silver candle holders, vases, or table numbers can help reflect light and add sparkle to the room. These reflective accents can create an upscale vibe, even in a small space.

Tip: Look for mirrored or metallic decor accents that fit with your wedding theme for a cohesive and elegant look.

5. Strategize the Seating Arrangement

In a small venue, seating arrangements should be strategically planned to ensure that the space feels open and comfortable, while also fostering a sense of togetherness and intimacy.

a) Round Tables

Instead of long rectangular tables, which can make the space feel cramped, use round tables for a more intimate setting. Round tables encourage conversation and help open up the flow of the room.

b) Floor Seating

If you’re having a more casual wedding or want a relaxed atmosphere, consider using floor seating with cushions or low tables for a bohemian or garden-inspired wedding. This approach works especially well for smaller venues, creating a cozy and inviting feel.

Tip: Make sure to balance the seating arrangement with the space available, leaving room for guests to move comfortably.

6. Use Custom Signage

Personalized signage can help direct guests while also adding a touch of elegance. A custom sign for the guestbook, seating chart, or menu can add a stylish touch without cluttering the space.

a) Chalkboards or Wooden Signs

Rustic wooden signs or chalkboard displays can fit perfectly into small venues, adding a charming and personal touch to your decor. Use these to highlight important information or areas within the venue, like the entrance, cocktail station, or photo booth.

b) Clear Acrylic or Mirror Signs

For a modern, upscale feel, clear acrylic or mirror signs work well in small spaces. They don’t take up much room but add a sleek, polished look to the decor.

Tip: Keep the signage minimal and elegant, and avoid overcrowding the venue with too many signs or displays.

7. Go for Statement Furniture

When decorating a small venue, you can make a big impact with statement furniture pieces that are both functional and beautiful.

a) Focus on the Sweetheart Table

Your sweetheart table is one area where you can splurge a little on design. Opt for an elegant table with a luxurious tablecloth, gold or silver cutlery, a stunning floral centerpiece, and comfortable chairs that stand out.

b) Lounge Areas

Consider setting up a cozy lounge area with plush sofas or chairs for guests to relax in. This provides a more intimate setting and gives the small venue a sophisticated touch.

Tip: If space allows, you can incorporate a stylish lounge with velvet or leather chairs to make your venue feel upscale and chic.

Final Thoughts

Decorating a small venue is all about using the space wisely, incorporating impactful design elements, and focusing on key areas to create a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere. By using vertical space, adding creative lighting, and incorporating luxe materials, you can transform your small venue into an unforgettable setting for your wedding day.

Balcony Design Trends: Blending Traditional and Modern Elements with WeDezine

At WeDezine, Bangalore’s leading interior design studio, we believe in creating spaces that reflect your personality while embracing the latest design trends. In a city where space is often limited, balconies offer a unique opportunity to create a personal retreat within your home. A growing trend in balcony design is the fusion of traditional Indian elements with modern aesthetics, a combination that balances the beauty of cultural heritage with the sophistication of contemporary design. Here’s how WeDezine can help you achieve this perfect blend, transforming your balcony into a stunning, functional space.

1. Curating Materials: Natural Meets Industrial

One of the most captivating design trends is blending natural, traditional materials with modern finishes. At WeDezine, we love using classic options like terracotta or sandstone flooring to bring in earthy tones, which can be paired with sleek, modern metal or glass railings. The contrast of rustic and refined materials adds depth and character to any balcony. Whether it's teak wood furniture or stone tabletops, we ensure your balcony design is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.

2. Furniture: Traditional Craftsmanship with Modern Comfort

At WeDezine, we specialize in finding the perfect furniture to suit your space. Imagine a beautifully crafted wooden swing (jhoola), a staple of traditional Indian homes, hanging in your balcony, complemented by minimalist metal or glass tables for a contemporary twist. We love to combine cane furniture, wooden loungers, or low diwans with modern materials like weather-resistant upholstery and contemporary outdoor lighting. This unique blend ensures that your balcony is not only stylish but also comfortable for everyday use.

3. Greenery: Traditional Pots with Modern Arrangements

Plants breathe life into any space, and at WeDezine, we believe the right choice of greenery can elevate your balcony design. We often recommend a mix of traditional planters, like terracotta or brass pots, with modern vertical gardens or sleek metal stands. This fusion creates a balanced aesthetic, blending the lush beauty of nature with contemporary arrangements that make the most of your balcony’s space. Whether you prefer a peaceful green oasis or a colorful floral garden, our designers will craft the perfect plant setup to suit your style.

4. Lighting: Traditional Ambiance with Modern Technology

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood for your balcony. Our design experts at WeDezine suggest a combination of traditional brass lanterns or vintage oil lamps paired with modern LED strip lighting for a perfect balance of charm and functionality. Whether you’re looking to create a warm, intimate evening glow or a brightly lit space for socializing, our team will find the right lighting solution that marries tradition with cutting-edge technology. Smart lighting systems can also be integrated, allowing you to control brightness and color with ease.

5. Textiles and Décor: Indian Patterns with Minimalist Styles

WeDezine takes great care in selecting the perfect blend of textiles and décor for your balcony. From handwoven rugs and block-printed cushions to modern, minimalist throws, we incorporate traditional Indian artistry alongside contemporary designs. Intricately designed fabrics with rich colors and patterns bring warmth to the space, while neutral, sleek cushion covers or simple rugs offer a modern edge. Our attention to these details ensures that your balcony has an inviting, harmonious aesthetic, perfect for relaxation or entertaining guests.

6. Décor Accents: Heritage Pieces with a Modern Twist

At WeDezine, we know that the right décor can tie a space together beautifully. We often mix classic Indian décor elements like brass sculptures, hand-painted pots, or wooden carvings with modern accessories like geometric vases or abstract artwork. This contrast of old and new gives your balcony a unique identity that reflects both your cultural roots and modern sensibilities. Whether it’s a traditional brass lamp alongside a sleek metal planter or a handcrafted wall hanging next to a contemporary art piece, we ensure that your décor tells a cohesive, stylish story.

7. Art and Traditional Motifs: Honoring the Past, Embracing the Present

Bangalore’s rich heritage offers a wealth of artistic inspiration, and at WeDezine, we love to incorporate this into balcony design. Madhubani or Warli wall art, for example, adds a touch of cultural heritage to your modern home. We skillfully integrate these traditional motifs against a contemporary backdrop, ensuring the space feels balanced and uncluttered. A single statement piece of art, framed in a modern way, can completely transform a simple balcony into a stunning, culturally rich space.

8. Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Expanding Your Living Space

One of our core design principles at WeDezine is to create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces. We love to extend your home’s design elements into your balcony, using sliding glass doors or open-plan layouts that bring the outside in. By using similar materials and color palettes, we ensure your balcony feels like a natural extension of your home, rather than a separate space. Modern flooring that continues from the living room to the balcony, paired with traditional outdoor décor, creates a smooth, cohesive flow that enhances the overall aesthetic of your home.

9. Privacy Solutions: Combining Tradition and Modernity

Balcony privacy is essential, especially in urban settings like Bangalore. WeDezine offers creative solutions that blend traditional jali screens or bamboo blinds with contemporary privacy panels made from metal or glass. These screens not only provide privacy but also serve as striking design elements, creating beautiful patterns of light and shadow that add character to your space. Whether you’re looking for a private retreat or a balcony for socializing, we ensure that privacy is both stylish and functional.

10. Sustainable Designs: Merging Tradition with Eco-Friendly Solutions

At WeDezine, sustainability is a key focus. We incorporate eco-friendly materials and practices, such as upcycled furniture, natural paints, and energy-efficient lighting. By blending these modern sustainability practices with traditional design elements, like locally sourced wood or artisanal crafts, we create balconies that are not only beautiful but also kind to the environment. Our commitment to sustainable design ensures that your space is forward-thinking without compromising on aesthetics.

Conclusion: A Tailor-Made Balcony by WeDezine

At WeDezine, we pride ourselves on creating personalized, thoughtfully designed balconies that reflect the individuality of each client. Whether you prefer a modern, sleek look or a more traditional, cultural vibe, we are experts in blending the two to create a space that’s uniquely yours. From material selection to furniture, décor, and lighting, our design process is entirely customized to meet your needs and preferences.

Your balcony can be much more than just an outdoor space—it can be a reflection of your lifestyle, a retreat from the city’s hustle, or a stylish area for entertaining guests. Let WeDezine help you craft a balcony that perfectly blends tradition with modernity, delivering a space that is both timeless and contemporary.

Planters: Perfect for housing indoor plants, planters can be used to create a mini garden inside your home. Consider using a variety of plants, from succulents to flowering plants, to add color and life.

5. Create Groupings

Grouping vases and planters together can create a more impactful and cohesive look:

Odd Numbers: Arranging in odd numbers (three, five, etc.) tends to look more natural and appealing.

Varying Heights: Combine different heights to add visual interest and balance.

Themed Collections: Group items with similar themes, colors, or materials for a harmonious look.

6. Seasonal and Occasional Decor

High-quality vases and planters are perfect for seasonal decorations:

Spring and Summer: Bright and vibrant colors with fresh flowers.

Fall and Winter: Warm and earthy tones with dried arrangements or festive decor.

Investing in high-quality vases and planters can elevate your home decor, adding elegance, charm, and a touch of nature. With a variety of materials, shapes, colors, and textures to choose from, you can find the perfect pieces to complement your style and enhance your living space.
