Yexiao: Flower Tune

Designer's Reflection: Flower Tune

Obtained: second Pinnacle Battle

Rarity: SSR

Attribute: Green/Fresh

Awakened Suit: Flower Rhyme

Story - transcripts from Designer's Reflection

Chapter 1 - Garden

Chapter 2 - Falling Flora

Chapter 3 - Trail

Chapter 4 - Summer's Arrival

Story - summarized

Yexiao loves nature, whether she is tending to her garden, petting her kitten, or - her favorite - watching petals fall in spring.

To her, the drifting petals are unique, each one with a different path, much like people. Just as she has met different neighbors and kind strangers, the petals float in different directions and at different times.

But unlike the transience of spring, some things last longer. In winter, a kitten and several chicks found shelter in Yexiao's yard, and they remain there to this day. An elderly lady lives next door to Yexiao, and the two share chatter and food. And one day, Yexiao meets a girl who is inspired by a designer from 300 years ago... who turns out to be Yexiao, in one of her past eras! Her legacy continues.

Spring may be over now, but Yexiao's journey continues. And she loves watching others on their journeys, be they a kitten or a human.

Connections

-Yexiao wonders about petals that get turned into bookmarks. Susan and her brother make flower bookmarks on their trip to Cloud in her Reflection for Message of Camellia.

-The girl that draws with Yexiao says that Yexiao was a famous designer from 300 years ago. While the era isn't confirmed, it's possible this could be the Melodies of the North hell event, which took place in ancient Lor River City.

-If you want to read more about Yexiao's adventures over the eras, start with Blooming Magnolia (she breaks free of the Ark), and then check out Thousand Dreams (she faces the struggle of immortality) and Spring Forest (she deals with losing the memories of the long-lost village of Banyan).

Fun Facts

-Almost all of Yexiao's designs utilize motifs from nature, like flowers or birds. The only one that doesn't is her suit for December Troupe, Leah the Candy Witch.

-Flowers that represent spring and the transience of time include (but aren't limited to) blossoms, cherry blossoms (specifically), crocuses, daffodils, camellias, and hellebore.

All Eyes Lead to the Truth | Season Two Masterpost

That's a wrap on season two! From Flukeman to Albert Hosteen, we explored 25 of the characters that helped make season two of The X-Files so iconic!

Here's a look into all the characters we've met so far!

2x01 | Little Green Men - Senator Richard Matheson (@monikafilefan)

Soon, secrets will snowball. Good people will suffer. Even senators will lose much more than their seats.

2x02 | The Host - Flukeman (@gaycrouton)

Fluke.

2x03 | Blood - Sheriff Spencer (@admiralty-xfd)

Based on the fact that there was simply no reasonable, logical explanation the man would have to do something like this, Spencer knew he could only turn towards the illogical – and that happened to be the X-Files.

2x04 | Sleepless - Salvatore Matola (@fridaysat9)

He could hear their screams, just like every night when he laid down in his bed and stared at the ceiling until the sun came up.

2x05 | Duane Barry - Duane Barry (@gaycrouton)

Someone had his implant. Someone… a woman in Georgetown.

2x06 | Ascension - Dr. Takeo Ishimaru (@admiralty-xfd)

He misses the quiet. Now it seems all he hears is drilling and beeping and yes, sometimes screaming.

2x07 | 3 - Kristen Killar (@fridaysat9)

There’s an emptiness inside her that needs to be satiated with blood… or something else.

2x08 | One Breath - Melissa Scully (@monikafilefan)

Melissa reaches out to gently smooth a stray tendril tangled within one of the many strips of tape stuck to Dana’s porcelain skin. The brittle hair snaps in two, and Melissa swears she can feel a piece of her heart snapping right along with it.

2x09 | Firewalker - Dr. Daniel Trepkos (@admiralty-xfd)

Albert Einstein was known for changing the world, he would say to Jessie if he could. Daniel Trepkos would only be known for destroying it.

2x10 | Red Museum - Old Man (@fridaysat9)

He may have been the only person in town who was making such a connection, but maybe these FBI agents had open minds and might consider it. Something had gone wrong in this sleepy little town and no one, not the townspeople or the sheriff, was doing a goddamn thing to fix it.

2x11 | Excelsis Dei - Dorothy (@monikafilefan)

If Leo tells these nice people that orderly Gung gives them special pills he makes to help them feel alive again, then maybe Gung will get in trouble. Maybe he won’t be able to free any of them from the confines of their minds like this anymore.

2x12 | Aubrey - Danny Valladeo (@gaycrouton)

Working in the lab felt like helping them put together a puzzle while blindfolded. The catch was, you never got to see the end picture until their case reports were finalized, and even then, the final image was abstract beyond recognition.

2x13 | Irresistible - Dr. Karen Kosseff (@fridaysat9)

In all her years working as a therapist for the FBI, Karen had learned that partnerships, be they successful or not, were integral in how an agent functioned, both inside and out of work. An open and trusting partnership could make an agent feel secure and safe, leading them to a successful career and a well balanced life. Without trust, accidents happened, careers ended, and lives could be lost.

2x14 | Die Hand Die Verletzt - Andrea (@monikafilefan)

There’s a presence here, they say. A consistent darkness that lingers like the gray haze coating Milford New Hampshire before sunrise. It’s an old story, whispered about in covert corners of community potlucks and PTA meetings.

2x15 | Fresh Bones - Chester Bonaparte (@gaycrouton)

In voodoo, it’s believed that the dead will come back again, that we should not be afraid of death.

2x16 | Colony - Bill Mulder (@admiralty-xfd)

Fox’s eyes glint with the sparkle of curiosity Bill still remembers from when he was a boy; way back when they watched their first episode of Star Trek together. Back before he knew he wasn’t his boy.

2x17 | End Game - Alien Bounty Hunter (@monikafilefan)

There is an extraterrestrial race war rising within his world: a rebellion in the making. A faction of clones and shapeshifters rallying against the oil that made them. Fools, all them. Hybridization cannot be tolerated. Purity of the alien race must be maintained.

2x18 | Fearful Symmetry - Sophie (@gaycrouton)

Willa not understand. Sophie scared. Baby go flying light.

2x19 | Død Kalm - Captain Peter Barclay (@admiralty-xfd)

He doesn’t know how or why but he knows what’s happening, like a road map for his mortality is written on his insides. He can see the end, and it’s close.

2x20 | Humbug - Mr. Nutt (@fridaysat9)

He didn’t need a suit and a hideous tie to make him matter. He wasn’t a caricature of a man, all handsome features, strapping physique, and perfectly placed sarcastic remarks. No siree.

2x21 | The Calusari - Golda (@gaycrouton)

Golda knew it was a matter of time before the Devil caught up to her. She’d looked into his eyes.

He knows her now.

2x22 | F. Emasculata - U.S. Marshal Deke Tapia (@admiralty-xfd)

Tapia grimaces. “You mean… ew.”

“Yeah," Mulder replies. "Ew.”

2x23 | Soft Light - Detective Kelly Ryan (@fridaysat9)

She tried to file everything away– the questions they asked, the things that seemed important to them, the way that they seemed to be able to converse without words.

Watching them made her feel like a novice, but at the same time, made her excited for her future as a detective.

2x24 | Our Town - Jess Harold (@monikafilefan)

Jess smirks. Chaco has no idea just how close he is to being the entrée in the same stew he’s so eagerly served the residents of Dudley for decades.

2x25 | Anasazi - Albert Hosteen (@admiralty-xfd)

There is a saying in Navajo tradition: that true love is like the wind; you cannot see it, but you can feel it.

There was true love between the FBI man and woman. I could fee

Stay tuned for more perspectives coming in Season Three!

Spring 4 seasons in the neighborhood, Japan

[dirt-goth]

Over the last week or so I've been watching all the daffodils bloom and the rose plants turning green and growing fresh spikes. The tees are blossoming and the city is starting to turn bright again. I'm so 💖💖💖💖

[psiimaid]

Same anon as before:

I do have a confession though. I... i didnt vote for fried green tomatos.

I do love a good fried green tomato, but ive been betrayed by too many sad gooshy soggy ones to trust like that. Red beans and rice have never hurt me like that.

Yexiao: Thousand Wishes

Designer’s Reflection: Thousand Wishes

Obtained: first Chinese New Year hell event

Rarity: UR

Attribute: Green/Fresh

Awakened Suit: Thousand Memories

Story - transcripts from Design’s Reflections

Chapter 1 - Blossoms Fall

Chapter 2 - Blooming Flowers

Chapter 3 - Winter Arrives

Chapter 4 - Spring Returns

Chapter 5 - Blooming Again

Story - summarized

Everyone ages, but not Yexiao. Ten years could pass by, and not a single part of her will change. She used to live with a family of three and spend time painting with the little girl. Unfortunately, the other villagers were scared of her unique trait and formed a mob to try to run her out of town,

The little girl rushed to defend Yexiao, leaving the child with a scar on her arm. Tearfully, the two of them said goodbye. So, Yexiao drifted from town to town, never staying longer than a few years at a time. And every time she left, her memories would fade. It was like starting over with the seasons, but it still hurt to let go of something so precious.

During one of her moves, she comes to Cloudcrest, to the home she currently stays in. An elderly lady lives there, too, and Yexiao finds contentment caring for her and painting the blossoms in the yard. Just as she is getting comfortable, a young man finds her and asks about her paintings. He mentions a legendary designer of old who would make similar paintings to Yexiao’s.

She worries that this man has figured out her secret. After he leaves, she packs her belongings and tries to leave. But the old lady falls ill, and while her last living child lives in town, she still needed attention. Yexiao decides to wait until the lady is better before leaving Cloudcrest.

Seasons change, but the old lady is still sick. When spring comes, the young man comes to call again. This time, he shows a painting that came from the same yard that Yexiao and the old lady live in. It’s not Yexiao’s painting, so that means it has to be the old lady’s.

But something in the painting is familiar. Memories resurface, and Yexiao asks to check the old lady’s arm. Sure enough, there is a scar there - the same scar the little girl had when she defended Yexiao from the angry mob.

This is that little girl! A hundred years have passed, and she is still here.

The young man knows, but he never had any attention of tattling on her. His name is Qin Yi, and he only wants her help in finding the Puzzle Solver. Otherwise, he leaves her alone.

Yexiao enjoys the rest of the season painting with the old lady in the yard.

Connections

-Qin Yi asks if Yexiao is the Puzzle Solver. In Vol. 1, you help Nikki find the Puzzle Solver to unlock the secret of Leonid’s Manuscript.

-This is not the first time Yexiao has had to deal with her immortality. In Mind Maze Ch. 5, she used to live in Banyan Town, which was a perfect village that lasted forever - until waters from the Ocean of Memories seeped through and slowly destroyed everything, except Yexiao.

-While the Yexiao we know was “born” on the Ark (and therefore can’t age or die by natural causes), we time travel to the past in the Dunhuang hell event and see Yexiao working for Queen Joyeux. This may very well be Yexiao’s “original self,” who could still age and change.

Fun Facts

-During the hell event, when Nikki and Momo collect wishes in Luming’s place, they find Yexiao’s wish. All she wants is to live a content life, to enjoy her life, and that nothing changes again.

-In Chinese symbology, peaches are tied to immortality.

-The old lady has severe dementia, which not only impacts your memory but disrupts certain behavioral patterns or functions. It’s why she gets stuck on certain “loops” like asking for someone’s parents or insisting she go outside to find someone.
