Purple False Foxglove is a Beautiful Fall Wildflower
Purple False Foxglove is a Beautiful Fall Wildflower introduces readers to this gorgeous fall wildflower. It goes on to explain where the author/artist found this plant and explains an interesting quirk that it has.
Purple False Foxglove My most recent trip into the Gothe State Forest was a really amazing one. I found a new swampy area that isn’t even all that far from the house if I go the short way (I took the long way to get there last time). While I was out there I ran into a beautiful red shouldered hawk, discovered a large patch of tamarisk flowers that were filled with pollinators, and found several…

finished the eps of malevolent that are out now and thought abt how like . "designs of john where he looks like the king in yellow go very hard, but like . what if he only resembles him . " which lead to the idea of john in a cloak covered w/ yellow flowers, the idea being like. you can grow out of your past, but it still has its impacts on you. and then i drew flowers for 9 hours
more ramblings under the cut <3
flower symbolism is like, semi-intentional; i mostly just tried to stray from flowers that have strongly romantic connotations (<- queerplatonic at most jarthur truther), but didnt Really pay attention/research too heavily? anyw here's the reasoning for most of the flower choices + their symbolism (according to this google sheet smone sent me in the midst of making this <3 (note: i will be picking and choosing and ignoring symbolisms as i see fit (looking at you yellow tulips))
(ignored symbolisms are italicized LOL)
pale pink rose at the cloak clasp thing: based on the time kayne referred to arthur as "[their (john and kayne's)] english rose" (grace, joy)
yellow roses: yellow roses pretty <3 (decrease of love, infidelity, jealousy, friendship)
marigolds: kayne nickname LOL (cruelty, grief, pain, other similar negative meanings LOL; note: marigold i referenced is the type you use for day of the dead, so im also saying mourning :3)
lemon blossom: kayne nickname as well - "lemonhead" <3 (discretion, fidelity in love)
yellow tulips: space filler and pretty KGJSHKD (hopeless love)
black-eyed susans: space filler and flower meaning <3 (justice)
buttercups: space filler (THE space filler) and flower meanings (riches, childishness, ingratitude)
dandelions: kayne nickname-ish? (flirtation, oracle, happiness)
daffodil: ... needed another flower similar in size to tulips LOL (chivalry)
foxglove: friend suggested it and i thought "man that would be a banger border thing..... and its poisonous? you could make a symbol out of that!" /SILLY (wishes, selflessness(?), insincerity)
jasmine: wanted smth small to fill more space :3 (grace, elegance)
sunflower: (tall specifically) similar color scheme /SILLY, its like. THE flower i think of when i think of yellow flowers LOL (pride, haughtiness, false riches, "smile on me still" - dwarf sunflowers symbolize adoration too which :3 hehe /SILLY)
cosmos: pretty 👍 (joy in love and life)
wish i found more that represent friendship LOL but <3

Native Wildflowers collection
Native wildflowers from my previous job. All pics by me. Not an exhaustive list. Split into multiple posts due to the image limit.
Starting off with everyone's (read: monarch butterflies') favorite: milkweed. Common milkweed is on the left. I think what we called common milkweed was actually 2 closely-related species. On the right is swam milkweed, which likes wetter soil. Butterfly weed in the bottom is a milkweed, but its sap is clear instead of white so some people don't realize that. It's also much shorter than most milkweeds.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We have 2 main gentian species. These flowers don't open all the way and only larger insects like bees can force their way in. These bees then seek out gentians as an exclusive food source, making it more likely for them to pollinate the gentians. Cream gentian (left) is white and can get very tall on good years. Bottle gentian (right) is a small, low-lying plant that hides under other plants. This picture was taken early in the season so they're pretty pale. They turn bright blue when they're in bloom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yellow (left) and purple (right) coneflower
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mountain mint (right) and downy wood mint (left)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wild raspberry (left) and dewberry (right). My personal nemeses when I was moving through the prairie. Thorns are not my friend
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Foxglove beardtongue, which comes in a common white color (right) and a rarer purple variant (left). Below is false foxglove, which is a hemiparasite (plant that gains nutrition through parasitism and photosynthesis) that leaches off of oak roots
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bee balm, this one has a lot of ornamental cultivars
Tumblr media
Rattlesnake master, a badass name for a weird and spiky plant
Tumblr media
Ironweed. We have a few species and I don't know how to tell them apart
Tumblr media
Wild quinine. In the 3 growth seasons I worked here, this one became much more common.
Tumblr media
Prairie coreopsis (left) and tall coreopsis (right). Guess what the difference between these two is
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rosinweed (left) and cup plant (right). Two closely related species.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Maryland senna (left) and partridge pea (right). Similar (but not closely related) species that grow pods full of seeds. As they dry, the pods peel open and send the seeds flying out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Prairie dock. These grow very tall and have huge leaves that are cool because the roots bring up water from deep underground
Tumblr media
Ashy sunflower, a hemiparasite that kills goldenrod and tall grasses. As those two are very aggressive plants that can take over whole fields. ashy sunflower seeds are a great way to fight back against them and help increase biodiversity.
Tumblr media
Cardinal flower. This one is endangered so its great that it's doing well and even spreading where I worked.
Tumblr media
Common thistle. This one is unfortunately losing ground to invasive Canada thistle (not actually from Canada) and isn't very popular, but bugs love it.
Tumblr media
Black-eyed Susan (left) and sweet black-eyed Susan (right). The latter is larger and doesn't tolerate shade as well.

flower symbolism makes me very very happy. i have no idea why but it makes something in my brain work.
Started in Europe
Conflicting accounts for who was first to write
1. Catherine H. in 1839 “The Language of Flowers” found in her book on the language of flowers, Flora’s Lexicon
Based on the LOF in Victorian England, France, and America
2. Mme. Louise Cortambert (pseudonym “Charlotte de Latour”) in her book “Le 8Langage des fleurs” which translates to The Language of flowers. 
LOF is based on folklore, literature, mythology, religion, and the plant's physical characteristics. 
Symbolic association from Chinese, Japanese, Middle Eastern, Greek, and Roman cultures/mythology/religion
Literature from Shakespear
Turkish language of flowers and objects (Selam)
Taking Turkish words for different flowers and finding which other words they can rhyme with and making a sentence out of it. (Armonde (Pear) rhymes with omonde (hope) so a rhyme for these two words can be Armonde - Wer banna bir omonde (Pear - Let me not despair)
The Turkish language came to Europe through two people, Seigneur Aubry de la Mattraye and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Husband and wife. They were Turkish embassies that went before the court of Charles XII of Sweden and shared the language of objects and in this case flowers. 
Physical characteristics (root, stem, leaf, bloom?, and seed
Chrysanthemum/mums: A symbol of death and mourning, but also support and encouragement
Found in east Asia in grasslands, mountain slopes, riversides, fields, and seashores
In Europe, it means death because it was a commonly used flower to decorate graves in the 1700s. Asian Countries have a more positive meaning, used for family seals and pottery. (represents the turning of the seasons) November birth flower
Forget-me-nots: It can be used to symbolize remembrance – both during a parting or after death (bright blue flowers)
Europe, Asia, and Australia in wood/boggy areas
German folktale, where a dying knight threw flowers at his lady and said forget-me-not, the lady wore the flowers forever. 
Hyacinth: Sorrow, I am sorry. Please forgive me.
The Mediterranean and tropical Africa and woodlands
From greek mythology, where apollo and zephyrs killed Hyacinth and his remains were turned into purple hyacinth in the sorrow of his death. (slightly toxic)
Yellow Roses: Said to symbolize friendship
Mostly in Asia but in other places to
Yellow is a very positive and happy color, In Korean and Japanese culture, it was used as a symbol of jealousy. 
Daffodils: Symbols of rebirth and hope
Europe, Asia, Mediterranean meadows/woodland edges
The first flowers bloom in the spring, so it represents the new life after the winter months. March birth flower cause it usually blooms in march
Foxglove: Symbols of insecurity + many other things
Europe, the Mediterranean, and in woodlands
From Folk’s gloves (the fae folk), cautious tale to scare children from picking them. (Poisonous) also grown for the Virgin Mary (our lady’s gloves/gloves of the virgin)
Lily of the valley: Means the return of happiness
Eurasia, eastern North America, and in mountain forests
Used in religious ceremonies, it Represents Eve’s tears after she left the garden, the national flower of Finland, the May birth flower, is associated with Ostara, known for her humility (germanic mythology)
Baptisia (False/Wild Indigo): Symbolizes protection
Central and eastern north America near wood, meadows, stream
Associated with Venus (the Roman version of Aphrodite), (toxic but can be used as a noninflammatory, indigenous people use it for blue dye)
White orchids: symbolizes apology
Asia and in tropical forests
over 35,000 different varieties, based on the word orchis (which means testicles in greek because a writer said orchids looked like them) sign of wealth in the victorian era and in japan
Yarrow: symbolizes a wish for better health
Grasslands and forests, Eurasia
comes from the greek word here which means holy herb, neanderthals though they were a holy flower, druids used them in ceremonies, medieval Europe used them to exercise ghosts, dreaming means you'll receive good news, good for clotting blood
iris, arborvitae, and bluebell- are supposed to convey trust, friendship, and gratitude.
Carnations- innocence, remembrance
Hyacinths- deep sorrow, forgiveness, regret
White lilac- youthful innocence, new beginnings
Peonies- Family
Red roses- love, respect
Yellow rose- friendship
Blue tulip- peace and tranquility
Blue gladiolus- loyalty
Iris- hope
White tulip- I’m sorry
Lily- sympathy, innocence

@calmlythrilling gets a short starter because this also started as a bit and how did it end up like this? collect them all!
Tumblr media
He didn't seem to be the type to work with something so toxic. Then again, foxglove didn't seem so threatening. They were delicate little flowers that were so velvety with soft pops of color. That was until he dried them. Doc was wearing gloves while working with his knife and trying to keep his distance. One false move and he'd have to make a dash for the wash tub. "Thought yer, uh... auto...auto uh..." He paused and frowned. Getting distracted would be a bad idea. He could get dust in his eyes or get welts on his arms. Being immortal didn't mean invulnerable. He set aside the knife and looked up at the professor. "...Well if yer mindin' the dust, good day to look fer, uh... good stuff." He nodded back down at his work. "Not, uh, this. Been tryin' to dry it fer days."

A piece I wrote for my creative writing class that was inspired by @normal-horoscopes (now @cryptotheism)'s post about a fox trapped in their ribcage, which i figured i'd share here :)
[CONTENT WARNING: body horror, blood/bleeding, self-harm]
There is a fox trapped inside your chest, and it is biting at the brittle bones of your ribcage, it is clawing at the tender flesh of your aching lungs, it is feasting on your failing heart.
Here’s the thing about foxes: they will gnaw their own leg off in order to escape a trap.
Here’s the thing about you: you do not know how to set this fox free.
You carry on, unable to soothe the savage beast lurking behind your breast, unable to catch your breath, and you endure it, for what other choice do you have? There are no atheists in foxholes, but no god can save you here.
Here’s the thing about foxes: they are notorious for being tricksters.
Here’s the thing about your fox: it is trickier than most.
It learns to lie in wait, lulling you into a false sense of security, before striking just as you lower your guard. It is a powerful predator, and you are its current choice of prey. You may try to gain its friendship by offering it food—grapes or cheese, perhaps—but it has no qualms about biting the hand that feeds it.
Here’s the thing about foxes: they have a diverse diet and will even eat carrion.
Here’s the thing about you: sometimes you think you may already be dead.
There is only so much damage the fox can do within the confines of your ribs and spine before the wear and tear starts to take its toll. Your heart is struggling, like your father’s before you. You are prescribed poison in the form of foxglove – the irony is not lost on you.
Your breath becomes distinctly musty, taking on a persistent air of leaf-rot and animal-musk. Your lungs fill with blood until it feels like you are choking on it, drowning in it, until it is all you can taste and smell and think about. It climbs your throat like a crimson tide, threatening to overwhelm you.
So you spit the blood out into the sink and greet your reflection with a rust-colored grin and
you bear it,
you bear it,
you bear it…
…until it starts to look less like you’re grinning and more like you’re gritting your teeth. You wash the blood in the sink down the drain with water from the tap. You wash the blood in your mouth down your throat with another pull from the whiskey bottle. You call it a night.
Here’s the thing about foxes: they are normally nocturnal.
Here’s the thing about you: you are abnormally nocturnal.
Insomnia has been as constant a companion as the fox, keeping you company from sundown to sunup. Your friends notice the ever-darkening circles under your ever-reddening eyes, and jokingly liken you to the roadkill on the highway. They don’t know how close to the truth they really are.
You stare blankly into your coffee as your fox screams at the sky, calling out to Vulpecula. You resist the urge to start screaming yourself, calling out to anyone who can stand to listen.
Here’s the thing about foxes: they are mostly solitary creatures.
Here’s the thing about you: you are scared of being alone.
You think about telling someone, anyone, about the fox that you are holding hostage, are being held hostage by, but the words do not come, and you spend the rest of the day picking russet-colored hairs out of your teeth with your too-sharp nails. You find yourself scratching at your chest, leaving angry red marks all across it. Eventually, you start to draw blood. It spills out, staining your skin, making your hands slippery as you scratch, and scratch, and scratch.  Finally, you reveal bone, the ivory a stark contrast to all the scarlet. You crack open your ribcage only to find a stuttering heart and heaving lungs, no fox in sight.
Here’s the thing about foxes: they will gnaw their own leg off in order to escape a trap.
Here’s the thing about you: you have been the fox all along.

Apocalypse AU
Fandom: Yet to be Decided
Song Fic vvv the song
Pick me up and hose me down
His breath is labored as the sound of Yelling followed behind. I'm sorry boys about the dirty night clowns
The sounds of laughing and Glass shattering was ahead, a gang of sorts crowded around a shaking figure. The Earth does bright, the things that we make
He peaked through seeing a figure and the sounds of distress caught his ears. Like a model planes and gooey cakes
He pushed through seeing a person with a Monitor TV instead of their head, a Tear was on the screen.
I can't clear the leaves from here
“Freaky Cyborg!! At least be cool if your gonna be a TV!” The group laughed as one raised a bat. They're too far under the brush this year
he reacted too fast grabbing the bat and throwing it away. a scowl on his face I can't clear the leaves from here
They ran off soon after hearing the Police from the sounds of screaming. They're too far under the brush this year
It looked up at him the screen changing to a question Mark.
Let them be buried, buried alive
He grabbed them and turned into a alley way. The screen changing from a Question mark to a Explmation point. In their suits, in their ties
“I’m Mori, Mori Masaki.” He smiled as the Screen changed to a smile. “I’m #466, the failed Copy of #100.” It hummed
Trees to shade the moves that they made
“how about just Violet?” Mori laughed half Heartedly at the TV Headed Person. In their suits, in their ties
It nodded with their screen turning a Violet color. “Ok! Mister Mori, c’mon I’ll take you to my camp!” Let them be buried, buried alive
Years later in the same camp, they survived. One of the rare pair too actually. In their suits, in their ties
The sounds of screaming from outside the camp sounded as Violet sat down, holding their legs as Mori put stickers on the scratched plastics. You're safe here, now you're in the clear
“You don’t have too Mister Mori. I can patch my own plastics. It just needs some welding.” It sighed with a worried face on their screen. Now we'll eat soup and apple pies
His Purple hair sometimes covering his face and his Brown eyes. Along with some bruises.
I can't clear the leaves from here
Violet sighed sitting still making their antenna still even though the constant hive mind of the wild robots made them twitch with the waves and signals. They're too far under the brush this year
Noticing the human shiver with the cold wind, Violet slowly slid off their cardigan and put it on Mori. I can't clear the leaves from here
“I don’t need this.” Mori laughed as the other stood up. “Your cold. So you need it.” They're too far under the brush this year
Violet smiled grabbing the nearby False flowers of violets. Putting them in the pockets.
I will never be 
Violet sat down the screen slowly turning into sounds of nature, like a window to the old world. Dirt-free
Mori just accepted his fate leaning on it’s shoulder and yawned as rain hummed in his ears.
Up the stairs come find me
The sounds of birds chirping and cats purring through the speakers vibrated making sound waves for his comfort as Violet Solar charged. Come sneak up behind me
The antenna slowly drooping down, only twitching with sounds outside of the speakers. I'll be sleeping soundly
Violet’s screen started turning into Z’s to signify charging, but the sounds continued as Mori fell asleep. Like a baby
They both where temporarily asleep, confident in the camp’s walls. Made with spare parts of rouge bots and wires.
I can't clear 
Flowers grew on both sides. Violets, Lillies of the Vally, FoxGlove, Buttercups. And trees. Something Violet wished to see, and Thanks to Mori, got to grow. The leaves from here
Their safe, your safe. And they will always be, because, Their walls will keep them safe. They're too far under the brush this year

Uneasy Lies the Head - Dark Lord/OC - Chapter 5
Chapters - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13
Chapter 5 - Snapdragon and Arrows
The days following Aunt Zelda’s wedding and Ambrose’s imprisonment were somber. Samara’s original plan was to depart from the Spellman house shortly after the wedding and head back to Vail. She had a business there after all. However, with all the recent developments she had decided to stay with her family and offer the support they needed. So as the dawn rose, Samara got herself ready, patted Phlox on the head where he still lounged in the bed and left her room. 
Aunt Hilda was downstairs in the kitchen, mixing something in a bowl. Stress cooking. Samara approached her melancholy Aunt with a soft smile.
“Auntie, I wanted to talk to you for a minute.” 
“Of course, my love. What is it?” Aunt Hilda dusted her hands off on the apron she was wearing.
“I know originally, I was going to be leaving today to head back to Vail. But I figured, what with everything going on, I could perhaps stay for a bit longer? Just until everything is figured out with Ambrose and Auntie Z is back from her honeymoon. I just want to help.” Samara wrung her hands together and stared out the kitchen window, towards the many flowers that swayed in the wind. The brightly colored Snapdragons caught her eye.
“Samara, when would we ever deny you staying?! Of course, my girl! We’d be thrilled to have you around some more. Perhaps we can even convince you to stay forever with a little more time. Keep your cousins out of trouble.” Aunt Hilda squeezed her hand teasingly. Samara let out a low chuckle.
“We’ll see, Auntie. Well, if I am going to be staying for longer than I planned, I do need to hop back to the shop and get some things ready for it. I’ll be back before evening. Anything you want me to bring back?” 
“Oh! How about some rationality brew to pour down your bloody cousins’ throats?” Samara laughed at her Aunt’s joke. She leaned forward and kissed the woman on her cheek.
“I’m afraid even the Dark Lord himself couldn’t brew a potion strong enough to keep their heads on straight. I’ll see you soon Auntie. Give Sabrina my love.” Samara stepped back and braced herself for the teleportation. With a whispered chant she was floating through space and time. 
She landed in the small sitting room of the house she had in Vail. Luckily there was a side table near where she appeared and she used that to steady herself. She shook her head to clear herself of the disorientation. Snapping her fingers, the lights flickered on and she moved to the workshop at the back of the house. It was a nicely sized room where she did all her brewing, grinding and bottling for her work and hobby. Dried and fresh ingredients lined the walls and ceiling either in containers or hanging. The pungent scent of herbs and flowers lingered in the air.
Samara felt the tension she held in her shoulders release as she took in the scent of her workroom. She checked the moisture level of the foxglove and mint as she passed by them. She had a lingering thought that they’d be dry as a bone by the time she returned. Shaking the thought away she turned to the brews she had on one of the counters.
She went to work bottling the requested brews and writing letters to her clients that she’d be indisposed for the unseeable future. She’d get in touch with all of them when she returned to work. She gathered everything up and set them in their designated boxes. She focused for a moment and then began tapping each individual box which instantly disappeared and transported to the client that needed it. 
The time passed quickly as she continued to work. She safely stored some of her more testy and hard-to-aquire ingredients and gathered some gifts for her family. As she got her little cottage prepared for a more longer term vacancy. She went around the house and gathered what she’d need for her longer stay at the Spellmans. By the end she had two suitcases ready in the sitting room. 
She went outside to her sprawling garden and began to carefully walk through the many rows of herbs, flowers and foliage. She stopped by the large patch of red Chrysanthemums that had been what convinced her to buy the cottage. Not only were the flowers beautiful, they were incredibly useful in many brews she made. And without fail, whenever she used those flowers her potions were always successful and potent. Samara was sad to part with them, even if it was only for an indeterminate amount of time. She stroked one of the petals before she headed back inside.
She went over to her bags and glanced at the clock. It was just reaching late afternoon. Hopefully she’d get to the Spellman house just in time to be able to help plot something for Ambrose. She grabbed her two bags after making sure all the lights were off and took a deep breath. She chanted under breath and began teleporting. 
She landed in her room at the Spellman house, falling forward onto the bed after dropping her luggage. Samara groaned as the feelings of teleporting drained from her body. She sat up and took stock of her room. Thankfully her suitcases had remained sealed and not spilled everything everywhere. She’d done that before. She quickly set to work unpacking her bags and settling in. 
The sun was still high in the sky when she finished. She had heard noise downstairs indicating someone was there. More than likely Sabrina since she would’ve just finished with school; her having to return to the mortal school since she’d been expelled from the Academy. Samara brushed her hands off on her jeans and headed downstairs. She was interested in hearing what plans Sabrina and her Aunt had come up with to help Ambrose. She had a few ideas herself.
Samara felt herself begin to frown in confusion as she heard a male voice talking downstairs and her cousin’s voice replying. She hurried down the stairs to see who their guest was. She entered the kitchen to see her cousin filling a glass with water and a taller, handsome man standing by their dining table.
“Cousin. Who’s our guest?” Samara felt giddy delight brush through her at seeing both jump at her question. Sabrina turned around and smiled brightly at Samara but before she could answer her question the man spoke.
“Hi. I’m a missionary for my church. But the young miss here explained that your family already has a faith. I just asked for a glass of water before I left.” The man stared at Samara as he spoke. Chills raced down Samara’s spine for some reason. She stepped closer to Sabrina and watched the man. Her Shadows threatened to twist and turn where they were but Samara kept them still, not wanting to show them to the mortal.
“I see. Do you get many converts, going door to door?” Samara asked, still remaining by Sabrina’s side. Something was off about all this. Samara tried to brush it off, thinking it stress and worry from the past couple days.
“Uh, you’d be surprised. The Word of the Almighty can hold a lot of appeal to people. As long as they’re open to it. I’m Jerry by the way.” He accepted the glass of water from Sabrina and began peering around the room.
“Sabrina. And this is my cousin, Samara.” Samara shot a quick look towards her cousin for giving their names to a stranger.
“Thank you. It’s thirsty business doing the Lord’s work.” Samara subtly rolled her eyes at the man. She leaned back against the counter with Sabrina, her taller cousin shooting a quick smile towards her.
“What religion do you practice? If you don’t mind me asking.” 
“It’s more spiritual, really. Personal to our family.” Samara answered before her cousin could. Her arms crossing over her chest. The chills up and down her spine were getting more intense. More feeling like flames and ice racing along her skin. 
“Does it comfort you?” His question was off-putting. Samara thought back to the night she signed her name in the Book and the reassurances she had been flooded with.
“Yes.” 
“To be honest, sometimes it scares me.” Samara turned her stare to her cousin at her answer. Barely concealing her shock and irritation at divulging personal information to this stranger. A stranger that promoted the words of the False God at that!
“What about it?” Jerry was subtly prying and Sabrina was falling for it. Samara wanted to grab her cousin and shake her. Where was her sense?
“That at its core it’s...What’s at the core of your religion?” Samara let out a quiet breath at her cousin not fully answering.
“Forgiveness and salvation. Who couldn’t use more of those things in their lives?” He gave a soft chuckle with his answer. Samara kept her eyes on him as he began rounding the table towards them.
“But aren’t some people beyond saving?” Sabrina’s question held honest confusion. Samara closed her eyes in exasperation. Honestly, her cousin just didn’t know when to stop.
“Not in my book. No matter what choices they’ve made.” The man continued to look at her cousin. Something in Samara wanted him to leave and stay away. Something in her wanted to flee. She wanted to grab her cousin and run. It was such a ridiculous thought. This mere mortal was causing her senses to go haywire. Maybe she inhaled more of the fumes from that Confusion Concoction than she originally thought.
“But if you dedicate your entire life to something most people think is wrong...or evil...you can’t just wash that away.” Sabrina walked closer to the dining table as she spoke. Samara tensed and dug her fingernails into her arms she still had crossed.
“A hundred percent you can. You just have to ask for forgiveness.” Jerry set his drink down and leaned towards Sabrina.
“If only it were that easy.” Sabrina’s face was scrunched in disbelief.
“Sabrina, that is exactly what I am saying. It is.” Samara scoffed at his words about retort when she heard Phlox making one Heaven of a commotion outside, screeching and chattering. She felt herself tense even more, torn between sticking to her cousin’s side or checking on her familiar. Her answer was made when the phone began to ring and Sabrina hurried to pick it up. Samara rushed out the back door to check on Phlox.
Her worry instantly died when she found him sitting in the garden flicking his tail. He looked fine and nothing around him seemed disturbed. 
“What? Phlox?” Her questions stopped when she heard something going on in the house. She began running back in with Phlox at her feet growling and chattering. She entered the house to see her cousin and the missionary man missing. Cautiously walking through the ground floor, her worry began mounting as she still couldn’t find Sabrina. Just as she rounded the corner of the staircase, she could see the front door hanging by its hinges. She could see Jerry hulking in the doorway, looking out towards the driveway. Just around his side she could see Sabrina cycling down the driveway Salem close behind. Samara began to slip back around the corner and run when Jerry turned to face her. 
“Wait! You can be forgiven! I can show you salvation!” He began screaming and quickly approaching her. As she turned to run she saw the familiar glint of a blade in his hand. Samara felt true panic and fear begin to settle in her chest. She weaved through the house with Phlox sticking close. She could hear Jerry’s thundering footsteps close behind her. She just needed enough space between the two to be able to teleport away, but she also needed to be able to have Phlox touching her so he could teleport with her too.
She was almost to the stairs leading down to the mortuary when she tripped over one of the many rugs in the house. She landed harshly onto her knees and was quick to flip over onto her back to keep Jerry in her line of sight. Seeing her on the ground, he slowed. He began stalking towards her, knife stretched out at his side.
“The choice to be who you are now was made for you when you were still a child! There is still time for you to change and be saved! Repent! Ask for forgiveness and you shall receive.” His ramblings were causing irritation to flutter in with her fear. Out of the corner of her eyes she could see the Shadows begin to writhe and twist. She felt her core relax a bit at the sight. She began to slowly extend her arm towards Phlox.
“Sorry bud, I like my cult, not looking to join another one! Phlox!” She yelled to her familiar at the same time the Shadows descended upon the man, keeping him back as she gathered her familiar in her arms.
“Lanucae magicae.” She spoke clearly and buried her face in Phlox’s fur. She landed with a thump in the middle of Cerberus’ Bookstore. She was sure her Aunt would be there. She lifted her head out of Phlox’ fur and took in her surroundings or rather what was left. The bookstore was in tatters, shelves busted and books strewn everywhere. 
“Samara!” She heard her Auntie yell her name. She raised a trembling hand and was helped up. Sabrina was by her side and they quickly wrapped the other in a hug.
“What happened here?” Samara’s voice was buried in her cousin’s shoulder.
“Witch-hunter. It seems there’s a couple running around here. What happened to the one at home?” Aunt Hilda’s hand stroked through her free-flying hair. Samara pulled back and looked at her.
“He’s still alive. I got a couple seconds to run away and I did.” Samara stared at her Aunt as she spoke, hoping she’d get the meaning behind her words. Luckily she did. Aunt Hilda’s face lit with realization and relief. She patted Samara’s cheek in response.
“So, there are two witch-hunters running around Greendale. Lovely.” Samara sighed, Phlox leaning against her leg.
“Three.” Nick’s breathless word came as he burst open the door. “Well, there were three. They call themselves the Innocents.” Sabrina immediately went to him and wrapped him in a hug. “The one who stormed Dorian’s is now trapped in one of his paintings. Sorry Sabrina. I was a dick before but believe me, I’m sobering up fast.” Nick grasped Sabrina’s arms as he apologized.
“What do they want? Do we know?” Samara broke their reunion with her question. Her arms were crossed over her chest as she looked around at the damage.
“To kill all the witches in Greendale. According to the hunters we subdued, their plan was to start with the outliers. You, your aunt, the crew at Dorian’s. And then converge at the Academy.” Nick answered. They all looked at eachother with worry.
“Ambrose.”
“They’ll all be sitting ducks. We have to warn them.” Sabrina stressed.
“We’re expelled. There’s no way we’re getting into that school. Not without a Hand of Glory.” Nick had a good point. Samara and Hilda shared a glance.
“Oh! You can take your pick in the botanical room at home. I mean, I have half a dozen at least. Okay?” Hilda reassured the two. Samara stepped forward, her arms unfolding.
“Let’s go kill some Witch-Hunters.” She shared a wicked smile with Nick and Sabrina.

The Woods are Alive with Colorful Purple Wildflowers Right Now
The Woods are Alive with Colorful Purple Wildflowers Right Now features the lovely flowers of the dense blazing star. It’s a commonly used ornamental that is native to the eastern United States, including Florida. It’s one of several purple fall flowers.
Perfectly Pastel We are definitely nearing the end of the wildflower season as we move through November; even here in central Florida. There are still a few beauties out there hanging on, though. Earlier this week I posted about beautiful purple false foxglove, so in the spirit of purple, I thought I’d post some dense blazing stars (Liatris spicata) to finish off the week. These are a fairly…

All flower asks for Cimmerian.
Cimmerian:
O-oh jeez, that’s...a lot of questions, huh? Well, better let’s get to it then.
Alisons: Sexuality?
I’m polysexual.
Amaranth: Pronouns/Gender?
Trans man. He/him pronouns, please.
Amaryllis: Birthday?
December 1st. I’m a winter baby.
Anemone: Favorite flower?
Uhm, sunflowers, probably.
Angelonia: Favorite t.v. show?
If I have to be honest, I don’t really...watch TV all that often. But uh, anything they air on Animal Planet, to be honest. Do you remember that old TV show about the life of meerkats? Fucking loved that shit.
Arum-Lily: What’s the farthest you’d go for a stranger?
That...really depends. I wouldn’t go too far, after all, I don’t know this person, but basic respect and kindness are always a given. I’m not a hero either, I wouldn’t risk my life for them. So, I’d say most of the time, just small favours.
Aster: What’s one of your favorite quotes?
Literally fucking anything that leaves Vincent’s mouth once he gets a little tipsy, this man lacks filter when drunk and it’s fucking great. I know you probably expected some quote with deep meaning, since I have a major in English, but I am very sorry to disappoint.
Aubrieta: Favorite drink?
Pain drink is going to be Whiskey, but anything a little bit fancier then it’s Pina Colada. I like sweet things.
Baby’s Breath: Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?
Yes, absolutely, zero hesitation.
Balsam Fir: Have you ever been in love?
Hm...unfortunately...
Baneberries: Favorite song?
........Two Trucks by Lemon demon. Don’t judge me, it’s a fucking great song.
Basket of Gold: Describe your family.
Hm, well, they were great, really. Very caring and loving...Yeah, this question is making me feel sad.
Beebalm: Do you have a best friend? Who is it?
Uhhh...I’m gonna say it’s either North, Tiff, Han or Bright. I’d say Foster too, but...I don’t know, we kind of had a falling out because of our work. It’s hard to meet up.
Begonia: Favorite color?
...I’ll give you one guess.
Bellflower: Favorite animal?
Toads, love these fat boys.
Bergenia: Are you a morning or night person?
Definitely morning. Not that I like waking up early, but I definitely function better in the mornings.
Black-Eyed Susan: If you could be any animal for a day, what would it be?
A hognose snake, they have very cute noses.
Bloodroots: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A teacher, of all things. Mostly because I thought teachers got free summer too. Then I went to high school, saw what little shits my peers were, and immediately changed my decision.
Bluemink: What are your thoughts on children?
I love kids! I always wanted to be a father. Unfortunately, with being nearly 40 now and swarmed with work...I don’t think that’ll ever happen.
Blazing Stars: What are you afraid of? Is there a reason why?
Cars, because of trauma that I’d rather not get into. And, uh...I have apeirophobia. It’s...stupid, I know, many people would probably like to live on for forever. But for me, it’s just...it’s horrible. I don’t even know why. I guess it has something to do with existential dread.
Borage: Give a random fact about your childhood.
I had a lot of adoptive siblings and cousins, we were always close, and would always get into trouble together. I was raised on a farm with woods nearby, you can imagine I had a lot of opportunities and places where I could get hurt at, and I did. I was a stupid and reckless kid.
Bugleherb: How would you spend your last day on Earth?  
Oh man, that’s a loaded question...Honestly? I’d like to reach out to my family, spend my last day with them.
Buttercup: Relationship Status?
Taken~ By two wonderful, cute men.
Camelia: If you could visit anywhere, where would you want to go?
Oh, there’s a lot of places I’d like to explore, probably too many to list. As long as it’s as far away from civilisation as possible, I’m good.
Candytufts: When do you feel most loved?
I like to be held, I love hugs, they make me feel safe and loved. Preferably under a warm blanket with my partner or partners, late in the evening, the rain falling outside and the room is nearly completely dark as we cuddle...
Canna: Do you have any tattoos?  
I used to want to, as a teen, but unfortunately no...I did see some people tattoo over their burn scars, and I’ve been thinking about it, but considering how large my scars are it’d cost a lot, be very time consuming and most likely painful. So I don’t know, but I’m considering it.
Canterbury Bells: Do you have any piercings?  
Used to have a few as a teenager, now I only have one in my right ear.
California Poppy: Height?  
I’m 5′9′’.
Cardinal Flower: Do you believe in ghosts?
In ghosts? No, not really.
Carnation: What are you currently wearing?  
I’ll let you guess.
Catnip: Have you ever slept with a nightlight?
Sure did, I still sometimes do when my nightmares get the best of me.
Chives: Who was the last person you hugged?  
Jackie.
Chrysanthemum: Who’s the last person you kissed?
Northy, obviously~
Cock’s Comb: Favorite font?
My heart tells me Comic Sans, but my brain’s telling me to shut the fuck up and pick a normal font.
Columbine: Are you tired?
Always, 24/7.
Common Boneset: What are you looking forward to?
Autumn, we’re close to Summer and god damn it didn’t even start but I’m already over it.
Coneflower: Dream job?
I’m pretty content with my current one, but uh...maybe something less stressful? Probably a book author.
Crane’s-Bill: Introvert or extrovert?
Introvert, definitely.
Crown Imperial: What’s the farthest you would go for someone you care about?
 Honestly? I’d probably give my life to them. It mostly depends on the person though, and how much I care about them.
Cyclamen: Did you have a favorite stuffed animal as a child? What was it?
I had a ragdoll elephant named Mr Trunk. Still do, actually, he’s one of the few things I took with me when I started working here. He’s now sitting on my bookcase at my apartment.
Daffodil: What’s your zodiac sign?
Sagittarius.
Dahlia: Have you done anything worth remembering?
I don’t think so, no.
Daisy: What do you feel is your greatest accomplishment?
Well...I guess overcoming my trauma counts as an accomplishment?
Daylily: What would you do if your parents didn’t like your partner(s)?  
Well, first of all, my biological parents are dead and my adoptive ones think I’m dead. But, if that weren’t the case, I don’t think Ma and Pa are the kind fo people who’d try to get between me and my partners. I feel like if they were legitimately concerned for me or had deep worries about my partner, they’d talk to me about it. So, nothing too dramatic.
Dendrobium: Who is the last person that you said “I love you” to?
...I’d rather not talk about them.
False Goat’s Beard: What is something you are good at?
Does writing shitty slashfics count?
Foxgloves: What’s something you’re bad at?
Do you want a list or something?
Freesia: What are three good things that have happened in the past month?
Well...I started dating Jackie.
Garden Cosmos: How was your day today?
Tiring, so the usual.
Gardenia: Are you happy with where you’re at in your life?
...It could be worse, honestly.
Gladiolus: What is something you hope to do in the next year or two?
...Uh...if my relationship with Karlos and Jack lasts...well...uhm...God, don’t tell them I said that, alright? But...getting married seems...nice...
Glory-of-the-Snow: What are ten things that make you happy/you’re grateful to have in your life?
My friends. They’re great, I don’t know where I’d be without them. Especially Tiff, they do so much for me...don’t tell them I said that, they don’t need any more of an ego boost.
Heliotropium: What helps you calm down when you feel stressed?  
A good book, audiobook or ASMR and a scented candle in an otherwise quiet room usually does the trick.
Hellebore: How do you show affection?
Usually through words, I didn’t get that damn doctorate for nothing.
Hoary Stock: What are you proudest of?
My work, I guess? My writing? Wait, no, I just remembered my longest work of fiction is a crackfic about mythological characters- I take that back.
Hollyhock: Describe your ideal day.
Just having an entire day to myself, no need to do any work, no stress, no deadlines. 
Hyacinth: What do you like to do in your free time?  
I take care of my pets and plants, read books, write.
Hydrangea: How long have you known your best friend? How did you meet them?
Oh man, it’s been a few years now. Uhm, my longest friend in the Foundation is Foster, we met in high school, but like I said we’ve had a bit of a falling out. Then it’s Tiff, I met them when I first joined the Ethics Committee. I met Karlos and Bright a few years later, and I’ve known Han for the least amount of time, but it’s still been years.
Irises: Who can you talk to about (almost) everything?
Uhm...Hm...Probably Tiff or Karlos. Han too, he’s a good listener.
Laceleaf: How many friends do you have?
A few. On top of the previously mentioned ones I’m also quite close to Clef, Kondraki and Light.
Lantanas: What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received?
Literally, any kind of compliment either of the O5-1′s or O5-11 gave me. Do you have any god damn idea how fucking hard it is to impress the Ones? And Ten...well, he’s just really nice and I appreciate him.
Larkspur: What do you think of yourself?
Anyway, next question!
Lavender: What’s your favorite thing about yourself?
I have great fucking puns and if anybody says otherwise, they’re fucking wrong.
Leather Flower: What’s your least favorite thing about yourself?  
Do you want a list?
Lilac: What’s something you liked to do as a child?
Exploring, I guess it never really changed, I like spending time in nature, I just never have the time to.
Lily: Who was your best friend when you were a kid?
........Probably one of my siblings.
Lily of the Incas: What is something you still feel guilty for?
A lot, but let’s not talk about that.
Lily of the Nile: What is something you feel guilty for that you shouldn’t feel guilty about?  
Jesus Christ, what’s with these questions?
Lupine: What does your name mean? Why is that your name?
I had to look it up, and apparently, Jeremiah means “Yahweh will exalt”. I had no idea my name actually had a religious meaning. When I was born I was named after my grandma, and when I was changing my name I decided to kind of keep with the theme and named myself after my grandpa. He doesn’t know, actually, I never came out to them, but I like to think he’d be happy that I named myself after him
Marigold: Where did you grow up? Tell us about it.
Like I said before, in a small rural town on a small farm. Not much to talk about, really, I was a typical kid that grew up on the farm. Always got in trouble and always hurt myself doing stupid shit.
Morning Glory: What was your bedroom like growing up?
I was quite a tomboy and I loved cows, so just imagine a room with walls painted to resemble a pasture with cows on it and cow-themed furniture. Handmade too, by my grandpa and Pa, of course.
Mugworts: What was it like for you as a teenager? Did you enjoy your teenage years?  
I uh...I’d rather not talk about it.
Norwegian Angelica: Tell us about your mom.
Ma was a great woman, she always cared for me and my siblings, she treated me like her own kid straight away. Didn’t even batted an eye. Never made me feel weird or wrong for liking “boy things” like other adults outside of our family. She was quite fiercely protective of me too, quite a mama bear, I must say. A strong woman, could probably suplex a bear.
Onions: Tell about your dad.  
Pa was...well, Pa was just wonderful. He didn’t even hesitate for a second to take me in when his sis and my biological mother died. He was the first person I saw when I woke up at the hospital. He always made sure I was happy and taken care of. He taught me how to hunt and fight and play soccer and football. He was always very loudly supportive of me. I cannot express enough just how much I’m grateful to him and Ma.
Orchid: Tell about your grandparents.
They were very kind, your traditional old couple. I loved granny, but I was always closer to my grandpa. He taught me how to fish, I could always confide in him. He’s a great guy. Granny was wonderful too, I remember I always helped her out in her garden, she’d always scare me with potato bastards- I mean potato beetles, sorry, old habit- I fucking hate these motherfuckers. I love all animals, except for these ones. Potato bastards can suck a dick.
Pansy: What was your most memorable birthday? What made it be so memorable?
[Heavy sigh] My 4th birthday, my older brothers decided it’d be a fun idea to pick every potato beetle they could find from granny’s garden and throw them at me as a “birthday present”...........You know, I think I just realised why I hate these beetles so much.
Peony: What was your first job?
My first official job was in the Foundation, they hired me right when I finished college to help contain one anomaly, then I just stuck around and worked in Human Resources. I don’t think working small chores in our neighbours’ farms for some pocket change counted as a job.
Petunia: If you’re in a relationship, how did you meet your partner(s)? If you’re not in a relationship, how did you meet your crush/how do you hope to meet your future partner(s), if you want any?
I met North when he started working as a junior researcher in the same Site as me. Bright, I knew for longer for uh...obvious reasons, but I first met him in person during a disciplinary meeting. I also worked as an Ethics Committee Liaison in Site-19. You can imagine our relationship wasn’t the best at first.
Pincushion: How do you deal with pain?
Die.
Pink: Where is home?
Well, that sure is a deep fucking question. At this point...I don’t know, honestly.
Plantain Lilies: If you could go back in time, what is one thing you would stop/change?
...It’s...let’s not talk about that.
Prairie Gentian: Who is someone you look up to? Describe them.
No way in hell I’m telling you, he could read this blog.
Primrose: Describe your ideal life.
Living in a cottage in the forest or mountains as a fairly famous writer, with a spouse and a few kids.
Rhodendron: What is something you used to believe in as a child?
Soulmates. Then I grew a brain.
Ricinus: Who’s the most important in your life?
...So anyways.
Rose: What’s your favorite sound?
Uh, so you know how I listen to ASMR? Probably tapping.
Rosemallows: What’s your favorite memory?
Any kind of holiday with my family, we’d always get together and celebrate.

Let’s not talk about that!
Snapdragon: At this moment, what do you want?  
...Hm...Well, I am kind of hungry, I guess after this I should go eat something.
St. John’s Wort: Is it easy or difficult for you to express how you feel about things?

...yeah, another question I’m skipping.
Sweet Pea: How much sleep did you get last night?
Not a lot, I’m quite tired today.
Tickseed: What’s your main reason to get up every morning?
Work, I guess? Mostly just routine.
Touch-Me-Not: How do you feel about your current job?
Fucking stressful and exhausting, but it could be worse. That’s talking about my chairman position. But my work on Project X? I like it, one of the more pleasant jobs I had at the Foundation.
Transvaal Daisy: What’s your favorite item of clothing?
...Yeah, just take a guess.
Tropical White Morning Glory: Describe your aesthetic.  
Cozy, dark and gold.
Tulip: What would be the best present to get you?

Agalinis tenuifolia
slender false foxglove, hiding out by one of many interdunal lakes. 
from Indiana Dunes last fall. 
Took me a while to figure out what this species was. You can’t really tell the foliage in this photo since it’s lacking a lot of it and the species is known to have sparce foliage to begin with and it doesn’t help that it’s flower color was off since it was on it’s way out. Now I know the pain of iding these late year, at least It wasn’t Agalinis divaricata, gotta have respect for Alabama botanists doing late season cataloging.

Bly- we met, like, back in 2014/2015 at house parties but didn’t really start getting SUPER close like we are now until, like, 2017/18/19 ish. Really the only person I actively talk to every single day, my mood twin. We share a braincell. 
Syd- we met at, like, Momocon 2014? 2015?? something like that???? bc we roomed together. We started getting close in 2016 by bonding over fursuit stuff. My go to roadtrip partner. I kinda owe my current joy for life to her bc she helped me through my hell time in 2018 but kicking my ass and teaching me how to make fursuits. 
Eli- we met at Dragon-Con through a mutual friend in 2014, but didn’t really get close until may of 2019. Now we’re p much partners in everything but title bc we just don’t have romantic feelings for eachother. We share a therapist and hang out at least 3 times a month.
Shane: We’ve been friends since, like, 2010 but started getting close in 2017 when they helped me get a job. Then we just,,, stuck around. They kick my ass to get out of the house and do stuff, or did before corona 
Sammi : Friends since 2010 when we were in highschool together. Our friendship was super rocky until we were in different schools and smoothed out as we aged and matured. They are the reason i got into conventions  and cosplay as a whole, so they have only themselves to blame for how I am now. 
Irises: Who can you talk to about (almost) everything?
Eli and laura. 
Laceleaf: How many friends do you have?
my inner circle is, like, 6 people, but friends as a whole like.... idk.... 20?
Lantanas: What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received?
“Your gender vibe, is, like, primordial. Its a perfect blend of masculine, feminin and things that are just indescribable.”
Larkspur: What do you think of yourself?
I hate myself, to be perfectly honest. But Im trying my best to be a good person and a good friend, so I don’t have to like me, as long as the people who matter do. 
Lavender: What’s your favorite thing about yourself?
I love my hair. Also how much better at communication i’ve gotten. 
Leather Flower: What’s your least favorite thing about yourself? 
my adhd and the social symptoms of that.  
Lilac: What’s something you liked to do as a child?
i liked swinging and listening to the sounds of shoes on carpet. Good stim time.
Lily: Who was your best friend when you were a kid?
I never really had a best friend for more than 2 years. They would always move away, So i don’t really have a solid “best friend as a kid.” Why yes, I do have abandonment issues. 
Lily of the Incas: What is something you still feel guilty for?
How my last relationship ended. I pulled some STUUUUUUUPID shit and never got to own up to it or hold the other person accountable for the harm they did to me. It was just overall horrible and never got any type of closure. Likely never will. But it be that way sometimes. 
Lily of the Nile: What is something you feel guilty for that you shouldn’t feel guilty about?  
My grandfather died last week and i feel........ almost nothing bc I honestly really did not like the man. He was horrible to me growing up and horrible to my mother while my grandmother was sick and dying. But he did a number of good things too. But I feel guilty for not mourning him more. 
Lupine: What does your name mean? Why is that your name?
I chose Sawyer bc when I was younger, I was very good at wriggling my way out of work and my mom and aunts would call me “Tom Sawyer”. I also just like Mark Twain and the name Sawyer in general. Feels good
Marigold: Where did you grow up? Tell us about it.
In the suberbs of atlanta in a nice house on the Chattahoochee river. I’m actually still living there while I finish school. 
Morning Glory: What was your bedroom like growing up?
Rosey wall paper and gross maroon carpet until 7th grade, when we painted it all blue and put in blue carpet. It was, and is, very VERY blue. Im gunna be painting 2 walls different colors soon.
Mugworts: What was it like for you as a teenager? Did you enjoy your teenage years?  
Miserable, tbh. A lot of shit happened when i was 16 that left me with a lot of trauma and issues that I didn’t really have the maturity or energy to deal with while in highschool on top of being queer and dealing with that. So it was a lot of fighting with parents, self loathing, and struggling in school. It had its beautiful wonderful moments that I love with all my heart, but for the most part it was just kinda rough. 
Norwegian Angelica: Tell us about your mom.
Georgia born and raised. She tries her best and is a wonderful mother, but we clashed a lot growing up bc she’s fairly neurotic and likes everything to be precise and orderly and perfect and im... ADHD so sometimes close enough is all you’re going to get. Growing up, i couldn’t communicate what was going on with me or happening in my head very well at all, and it caused a lot of tension. 
Onions: Tell about your dad.  
Hes from Bogota colombia and im almost a carbon copy of him. That means our issues with ADHD have a happen of blowing up at eachother. He’s horrible and constructive communication, but overall is sweet and funny and very very clever. My relationships with both of them are p okay nowadays with a few spats here and there that I will deal with when I don’t live with them anymore. 
Orchid: Tell about your grandparents.
I never met my paternal grandparents. My maternal grandfather died when I was 6 and i hardly remember him.
My maternal step grandfather was.... not a good man but he was interesting and incredibly smart and fairly liberal. So there was that at least. But, to be honest, I hated the guy.
My maternal grandmother was one of my favorite humans in the world. She spent her whole life a highschool science teacher. She was funny, witty, elegant, a fairly talented cook who always encouraged me in everything I tried. Im still dealing with some emotional stuff regarding her passing, but Im just always so glad i got to spend as much time with her as I did.

I want my future partner to be a friend where things just, grew and blossomed. 
Pincushion: How do you deal with pain?
Emotional? I try to be constructive and communicative about who or what caused it and doing something productive to help deal with it.
Physical, i just ignore it until it goes away. 
Pink: Where is home?
Wherever Im going to sleep that night. 
Plantain Lilies: If you could go back in time, what is one thing you would stop/change?
When my ex broke up with me, I would have cut all ties all together instead of try the whole “we can stay friends” bullshit. I would have just “I don’t hate you, but If we aren’t going to be together, I can’t be friends with you until I’ve had some time to heal.”

Hahaha, love you too. Asshole.
Alisons: Sexuality? - Hahahaha bold of you to assume I have any clue. I like girls. I like guys. I like nonbinary people. And other people on the spectrum. I’m not pan, idk what though. Plus the label doesn’t really matter.
Amaranth: Pronouns/Gender? - I’m a demiboy, so he/him/his or they/them/theirs. Whichever, it doesn’t really matter. Though I personally feel more masculine.

Leather Flower: What’s your least favorite thing about yourself? - All of it.
Lilac: What is something you liked to do as a child? - Sleep. When I could.
Lily: Who was your best friend when you were a kid? - It changed at least once every year. Paige, Sheyenne, Peyton, Chloe, the list goes on.
Lily of the Incas: What is something you still feel guilty of? - I followed everyone in kinda making fun of this kid who was a trans girl. I felt so guilty about it then, and I feel so guilty about it now. I hope she is living her best life now, and if she’s reading this I want her to know I am so so sorry. And I have felt it too, I have been made fun of for my gender identification. I am so sorry.
Lily of the Nile: What is something you feel guilty for that you shouldn’t feel guilty about? - Idk. There’s one thing I’m sworn not to tell about but the person who asked me this knows, so it doesn’t matter.
Lupine: What does your name mean? Why is that your name? - My deadname? Means “grace of god”, because my family is very Christian. My chosen name? Means “Defender of men; protector of mankind.” Which is honestly just so badass. I chose it because I liked it and it was genderneutral.
Marigold: Where did you grow up? Tell us about it. - Fort Collins, Colorado babyyyyyyyyy. It was nice and peaceful and small and I loved it.
Morning Glory: What was your bedroom like growing up? - Small. Always a disaster. Sadly shared with my brother.
Mugworts: What was it like for you as a teenager? Did you enjoy your teenage years? - So far? Sucky as fuck. I hate it. I love my friends, but other than that I hate it. I’m only like halfway through them anyway. It’s been spent trying to prove to my parents that I am just as good as my brother, who I happened to raise.
Norwegian Angelica: Tell us about your mom. - Awesome. Sweet and kind, short, with red hair, hazel eyes, and freckles. She’s caring, and she was raised in a Christian house but she’s trying so hard to be accepting, to fight against her religion for her child and I love that so much. I love her so much.
Onions: Tell about your dad. - Kinda annoying. Plays video games all day and makes my brother and I do everything around the house. He tries to be nice and stuff but it really doesn’t work that well. He basically says he “doesn’t care” about the whole sexuality thing and gender thing and then he says stuff like “you can’t really know til your hormones have settled” and “Your name is your name until you can legally change it.” It’s stupid.
Orchid: Tell about your grandparents. - Which ones? I have multiple. I have 4 grandmas and 4 grandpas. Tho I suppose they’re all pretty similar. Very Christian, yet pretty accepting. They love me to death. I have one super transphobic grandpa, but basically all of them helped me raise my brother when I was little and my dad was asleep from working nights and my mom was at work all day. I owe them a lot. And I love them so much.
Pansy: What was your most memorable birthday? What made it so memorable? - My 12th. My best friend Val was there and so was my friend Tei and that was it, and they basically got along too well and I was really left out of things at my own birthday party. It was annoying. It was the first time I ever felt true jealousy, and that’s why I remember it so well. I haven’t liked a birthday since because it reminds me of that. I used to like it because it was a day when my parents actually payed attention to me and were off, but now everyone makes too big of a deal of it and I just wish it didn’t exist.
Petunia: If you’re in a relationship, how did you meet your partner(s)? If you’re not in a relationship, how did you meet your crush/how do you hope to meet your future partner(s), if you want any? - SAGA club, he founded it a couple years ago. He’s super kind to me and he does so much for me, god I don’t deserve him. He bought me a binder. And he’s my best friend. I love him so much.
Pincushion: How do you deal with pain? - Healthily? Getting hugs and cuddles from my better friends. I can’t really do much of that lately though. *cries in a corner*
Pink: Where is home? - With the family and friends I’ve found.
Plantain Lilies: If you could go back in time, what is one thing you would stop/change? - Wow. Hard choice. I’d either kill Hitler as a baby, or prevent my own conception.
Prarie Gentian: Who is someone you look up to? Describe them. - Sid if you’re reading this I am so sorry, and I’m so sorry for mentioning you so much. But I look up to him, because he is one of the best people I know. I love him so much. He’s sweet and just sadncaspdnnhciodsifcnsjxsojcm.
Primrose: Describe your ideal life. - Idc what’s going on in it, as long as it’s with my found family and friends. I’d like my depression, anxiety, and ADHD to disappear though, ideally.
Rhondendron: What is something you used to believe in as a child? - Jesus. Or life. Either one works.

Tickseed: What’s your main reason to get up every morning? - The people I care most about. My best friends. Also the reason I don’t stab myself through the heart. They keep me going. I love them all so much. They mean too much to me to hurt them, if I could in any way.
Touch-Me-Not: How do you feel about your current job? - Living or school? Either one I hate it. I don’t have an actual job.
Transvaal Daisy: What’s your favorite item of clothing? - My flannels. Or my band tees. Or my leather jacket from TJ.
Tropical White Morning Glory: Describe your aesthetic. - I don’t fully know what this is asking. I guess the smell of worn flannel, old worn leather, grease from a car, hair dye, smudged eyeliner, and conjoined lips? Idk.
Tulip: What would be the best present to get you? - Idk. Best present I’ve ever recieved was a binder. But I’d say worn flannel from a thrift store.
Vervain: What’s stressing you out most right now? - Grandparents spamming my phone with “Happy Birthday [deadname]!!!” texts
