I wanna have a green thumb so bad. This is what I want my home to look like.

Something that I love to do, especially with flowers is look up their myths and legends from all different places.

[skinandscales-if]

Goofy little question, but how would the ROs react to being gifted a plant by an mc with a green thumb? Who would be the best at caring for it/kill it the fastest?

Atlas: Is incredibly confident that he’ll keep it alive, ends up forgetting about it entirely and panics when he finds it dead, accidentally freezing it over in the attempt to fix it. Comes to MC a few days later totally embarrassed, and reluctantly asks for help on how to keep the next one alive.

Puck: Keeps it alive and very well, positions it perfectly within their apartment to get the most sun possible and even gets higher quality soil. They name it, bring it up often almost to brag about keeping it alive, and take great interest in MC’s green thumb and their garden interest. Want to learn about MC’s expertise and asks if they can take care of more.

Skye: Gets really excited about it at first and does a very good job at keeping an eye on it, but one day just forgets she was given it and only remembers when someone reminds her and it’s too late. She gets a new plant for MC as an apology but begs them not to let her plant-sit again.

Reese: At first veryyy resistant to receiving it, basically finding it to be more trouble than it’s worth and warns MC that under his care, it’s more likely to burn than live long. Surprisingly though, he takes incredibly good care of the plant to the best of his ability, it looking a little rough but still healthy, despite his warnings.

Holy moly are those ever after high ocs? They sure are! Let’s take a look, shall we?

So who is this cutie and what is her fairytale?

This is Clementine Lin, the daughter of Tam Lin and Bonny Janet from the Scottish myth/fairytale, Tam Lin! Her destiny is to follow in her father’s footsteps and get kidnapped by the queen of the fae! I found this fairytale so interesting because the male in the original story was the damsel in distress.

Tam Lin is about a girl named Bonny Janet who owned the forest of Carterhaugh since it was given to her by her father. Bonny Janet was bored and had nothing to do with her life, so once she found out about a mysterious entity that steals the “Purity” of all young maidens who enter Carterhaugh alone, she went running. Once she met Tam Lin, a strange spirit who was surprisingly relatable, Bonny Janet became pregnant with his child. Wonder if that has anything to do with the purity stealing thing. One day, they’re hanging out as young lovers do, and Bonny asks if Tam Lin was once human. This is where the plot REALLY kicks in. Tam lin was riding his horse through Carterhaugh one day nearly 7 years ago, and he suddenly fell off of it. Somehow, this meant he was now the property of the queen of the faeries in Carterhaugh. He also tells her that every seven years, the faeries make a human sacrifice to hell on Halloween night, and that he is worried that despite the faery queen’s fondness of him, he might be this year’s sacrifice. After this, Bonny Janet and Tam Lin come up with a plan to rescue him from being sacrificed. Bonny must push him off of his horse in order to become her property rather than the property of the queen of the faeries. However, Tam Lin knows that the queen will do anything to keep him, so she will transform him into horrific beasts and hot burning coals in order to make Bonny drop him. This is worrying, but Tam Lin assures her that since she is the mother of his child, he would never do anything to hurt her in any form. Bonny trusts this and the plan goes swimmingly! Everything works, and the queen turns tam lin into a pile of burnt coals. In order to revert him back to normal, Bonny drops the coals into a well and he comes out of it fully human! (And unclothed)

Back to Clementine, her personality is reminiscent of Tea Kettle from Inanimate Insanity Invitational. She wants to be the mom friend and be helpful to her friends, but she also can’t help but gossip and can’t keep a secret, so people don’t trust her the way she wants them to. She also loves the idea of being a damsel in distress and needing to be rescued. She is excited for her destiny.

Who is this and why does she look so weird? This is Chance Ribbon, the daughter of Jenny and Alfred from the Girl with the Green Ribbon.

In her fairytale, a boy named Alfred meets a girl named Jenny in school as a child. Jenny always wears a green ribbon around her neck, and Alfred wants to know why. When Alfred asks her, she basically just tells him “later” and goes on with her day. As the years go by, the two fall in love, get married, have children, and the whole time, Alfred keeps asking her what the ribbon is for. Finally, when they are both extremely old, sickly, and on death’s door, Jenny tells Alfred to untie the Ribbon. He does so, then…

Her head falls off.

Chance’s own personal story in my writing is that her mom only died about a year ago, despite Chance, the only child, being 16. Chance has always worn a ribbon, just like her mother. In fact, she was born in a secluded place without her father just so the secret couldn’t be spread. She and her mom were the only ones who knew what the ribbon was for, and now that her mom is dead, it is only her. Her father didn’t understand what he had done by untying the ribbon. He was confused and angry, and so he projected that anger onto Chance. Now that Chance is back in high school (she had to skip a year of classes and got held back) she is mostly seen having angry text conversations with her father on her Mirrorphone.

Chance is a wild card and a bit of a goofball to her friends. She hates large crowds, but doesn’t hate social interaction in general. Sometimes, she speaks in slight riddles, leaving people confused on what she means.

Who is miss sassy? She is the daughter of King Midas, who shall remain unnamed for the moment. She is a redesign of my first ever EAH oc, who will eventually be linked (here.) I haven’t thought her character out very much.

What in the Good Luck Charlie!? This is actually Theria Thumb, the daughter of Tom Thumb, who would do anything to get her out of his destiny. Theria is only 12 years old and in middle school. Theria will not be attending EAH after her eighth grade year. Her father’s one dying wish before he died of a massive spider bite was for her to be protected from the fate he was not proud of. You may be wondering. Darius, what’s the matter with Tom Thumb and his destiny? Oh nothing, he just upsets everyone around him for no reason, pranks his classmates, and then is punished for it for the rest of his life by getting baked into a pie and getting eaten by like 42 different creatures, not to mention the embarrassment of being harassed and made fun of by the court of KING ARTHUR (yk the one with merlin and the sword and escalibur? that guy) there is just so much terrible stuff in the story that Theria must avoid. The question is, how CAN she avoid it without just being locked inside for forever? The apple really doesn't fall far with these two, and Theria constantly wants to explore, to the dismay of her guardians.

aaand yeah that's all of them. hope you enjoyed!

WIP Wednesday

Featuring: Robin vs. bra shopping and Jonathan vs. the machine (a scary elevator).

From Tomorrow’s a Long Way Off (brief references to sexual harassment and heteronormativity):

It was amazing, Robin thought, as she watched her mom put the towels into a cabinet, how the smallest comment could get her blood boiling. She knew her mom liked Gail for having interests other than boys and clothes; those were some of the reasons she liked hanging out with Gail. Yet Robin could hear words behind the words. She’s a smart girl, not like you. Not like Molly. You should spend more time with Gail and less with Molly, so you can be a little less stupid.

“Molly’s smart, too,” she protested.

It was true, if you didn’t count the business with Steve. Molly was great at math. Her mom just rolled her eyes.

“I never said she wasn’t.” Then she looked critically at Robin’s shirt. “You need a new bra. Since Gail canceled, we should go to Penney’s and get one.”

Robin crossed her arms over her chest and felt blood rush to her face. She’d had the bra she was wearing since eighth grade, and it was one of the only ones that didn’t scratch or dig into her skin. She hadn’t realized that it wasn’t doing its job anymore, but everyone else must have.

“Didn’t you burn bras?” she asked. If she was nasty, her mom wouldn’t notice that she was upset.

“I did,” her mom said drily, “but you take after the women on your dad’s side. I also don’t think you understand symbolism.”

“Well, I’m sorry my breasts aren’t feminist enough!”

Her mother just squinted at her.

“Robin Elizabeth, you are not making any sense. What’s the matter with you?”

“Nothing.”

Her tears were falling fast, though. She didn’t want to go bra shopping with her mom, who would pick on her for hours before making her agree to an itchy, ugly bra that she liked. She didn’t want to be looked at by gross old men or seniors who treated her like a joke. She didn’t want to be looked at by any man. What she wanted was a girl to look at her like she made the sun rise, but it felt like that would never happen.

“Are you getting your period?” her mother asked, in a slightly softer tone. “I have some Midol if you need it.”

“No!” Robin exploded. “I’m just apparently an idiot who’s been walking around with my tits out all summer! No wonder everyone’s been staring at me!”

Her mom stared at her. Robin waited to get scolded for being crude or overdramatic, but instead her mom did something totally shocking: she burst into laughter.

“It’s really not that bad,” she finally said, once she’d caught her breath. “You’re not going to shock anyone who’s seen Three’s Company.”

From Tonight, Tonight (brief ableism, vague references to Jonathan’s life in Hawkins being rough):

“Well, I hope the traffic back up isn’t bad,” Kevin said. He opened a door at the end of the hallway, leading to a smaller room with an elevator. It wasn’t like the ones in apartment buildings or malls, with buttons pressed by the passenger; instead, it was controlled by someone in a room with close-circuit TVs, somewhere in the labyrinth of Pennhurst. “Debra’s family’s just over the Roane County line. She’s one of the McCorkles. You probably know them if you’re from Hawkins.”

“Mm-hm.” The McCorkles were one of the old farming families in Hawkins. “I had geometry and English 9 with Lisa-Anne, I think.”

“Oh? I’ll make sure to say hey.”

Jonathan thought of Lisa-Anne—serene, ladylike, way into 4-H—and suppressed a tired grin at the thought of being remembered to her. He was so sure she’d want to hear from the basket-case son of crazy Joyce Byers. Still, it had been a nice thing to say.

“Thanks,” he said. “I remember those little purple tomatoes she grew for the county fair last year.”

He’d ducked into the agricultural tent while Will and his friends rode the Tilt-a-Whirl for the second time. He’d gone up with them for the first round, despite his distaste for being tilted or whirled, because Will had still been little enough to be wary of the creaky machinery. Maybe he’d been right. The whole town had been creaky, full of rusted parts and sharp edges. Jonathan should have known that from his own experience: Clint Morris’s granite fists, Robbie Hagan’s slow white smile, the free-and-reduced lunches that seemed to get smaller every year.

Garden 2.0🪴🌱🌿

Day 1

I'm back at it again. With more realistic expectations and an understanding that things take time to grow.

Chives, parsley, basil, sunflowers, lavender. Might try something else. Rosemary & Thyme? (Might have to start solving murders though)

Wish me luck.

I will be buying grocery store spring onions. I did that last year and didn't have to buy any for the whole summer.

[sincerelysatanherself]

Showed up on her own. Kept growing and growing. Finally started blooming the first week of October. I’ve had my neighbors ask me how the hell I did it…just nature doing her thing and me enabling 💚

[eddis-not-eeddis]

Somebody please restrain me, I'm about to plant sixteen different varieties of lavender and they will all die terrible, terrible deaths.

TOP TEN BEST YURI MOMENTS

Number 1

[embersofhopevoltron]

Template by: Gloria-the-Artist on DeviantArt

So I’ve basically found myself back into my voltron phase and felt like updating my ocs story and practice making edits again.

Oddly enough, back in 2018-2019 when I was sketching out her possible 80s design as the show was ending, Maximi was originally what her 80s counterpart name would be but once I came to that conclusion, I decided that both her 80s and VLD name would be the same,as I preferred it over her old outdated name.

Going off of brief readings of both DOTU and GoLion, the planet Romelle was from was Pollux (dotu) and Heracles (GoLion), Maximi’s planet in the 80s would be called Helios (in VLD, it’s Helior, but for the 80s we’re going with the Greek/Roman mythology names) and basically she and her people are solar powered flappers and gatsby style aliens that are incredibly eco friendly, so really I think her episode(s) would resemble environmental specials of the 80s and 90s? Anyway, I didn’t go too crazy with her 80s design, the only ‘alien’ thing about her are the pointy ears, but even then Allura/Fala and Romelle/Amue don’t really look all that alien either. Like her VLD design, I made her skin tone more similar to that of Hunk/Tsuyoshi, and she only has a couple freckles on her face compared to the beige speckles on her VLD design. Unlike her VLD counterpart, 80s Maximi was never enslaved or imprisoned by the Galra.

Following another theme separate from voltron, her English/Dotu voice claim would be Helen Slater (supergirl in the 80s, specifically 1984 like these voltron cartoons, heh, who knew?), like in VLD, Maximi’s voice claim would be Melissa Benoist (cw supergirl) since in both versions, the Zunir/Heliorites share similarities to kryptonians in being solar powered aliens but unlike kryptonians, are not bulletproof or have super strength or have super speed, X-ray vision, or frost/wind breath all at once. Plus the more I watched clips of Melissa Benoist’s performances, as well as clips from the 1984 supergirl movie, the more I could see the voices fitting. Also, the Zunir/heliorites have incredible heat tolerance and each ‘breed’ possess unique abilities, such as plant manipulation w/ durability, lava bending w/ incredible strength, and flight + thermokinesis (that can manifest as fire bending, welding, heat vision, star bolts,etc depending on the individual) at least in VLD. In the 80s, heliorites are solar powered flapper gatsby aliens with green thumbs and are able to fly, both counterparts draw power from their suns and are basically ‘human’ if drained, which I guess could be another similarity to kryptonians.

Tbh it’s about time I got to this oc meme…yrs after the show ended and the fandom drastically shrunk…but at least some people are still around making ocs, fixits, fanart and appreciating these characters.
