CW: Minors do NOT interact past the cut! This is a NSFW POST!!

Wanderer was bored. So he decided to go to the sanctuary of Surasthana while you we're 'busy running errands at the akademiya'. Or, that was the story you went with. "Errands?" Nahida was sitting on her swing while flicking through the pages of a colorful animal book. Slimes, Whopper flowers and even vishamps were all printed in bold along the pages with pictures and definitions in the corner. "Hm.. But I thought she was getting ready for the surpri-" Nahida stuttered and bit her tongue. Wanderer noticed. "What is it?"

he insisted and she nervously closed her book. "Well Uhm.. I know your stance has changed, But shouldn't you take some time off to compose yourself? Its your-" "My birthday." He said sarcastically. "I don't celebrate that Irrelevant holiday; it wouldn't even apply to me as I wasn't even given a concrete date of birth. Who cares, It's just a waste of time when I could be doing other things." Nahida got up. " Well, if you're comfortable, maybe you can give a gift to someone else? Someone you care about! You know.. your thes-" Wanderer groaned. "Yes buer. I know my thesis is due. Youve reminded me. SEVERAL. Times." She smiled, now that Wanderer was attending lectures and studied at vahumana, the little archon was eager to read out his findings. Nahida then waved him off as he turned away. 'A gift..' He immediately thought of you. What would you like this time? Make-up, Clothes, should he take you out on another date? He didnt have much mora on him at the moment, But didnt care since it was for you. Wanderer sighed, He'd just have to go off his own idea.

Wanderer fumbled with his keys. You probably still weren't home anyway. He thought. He did tell you how he felt about his birthday. For all he knew his existence was just a hinderance. His mother, Niwa's suffering… The deaths in the clans…. Wait. Is that why you stayed in the akademiya for so long? A pit began to swirl in his chest and eyebrows furrowed at the thought. Nahida was obviously holding out on something when she referenced you. He tsk'd then turned the doorknob "Y/n?" and was greeted to your shared house covered in decorations. Wanderer fell completely quiet as he looked around the house, there we're teal and white decorations along the walls, A feast on the table, then gifts neatly tied in a bow. He took off his kasa hat, hanging it up by the door. Many gifts we're lined up along the hallway. Two we're in sparkling green wrap. 'From Nahida, To hatguy' Was written on the tag. While 3 other gifts we're from you. He Opened the door to his room; Light came from underneath. "Y/n. Darling? Are you-" "SURPRISE!!!!!!" You yelled and jumped off his bed, Kuni blinked as he heard a pop and watched shreds of confetti fall onto his head, one on his nose that he blew away a bit annoyed. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" you ran up to hug him, practically jumping into his arms as you hugged him tightly.

You then pulled away as he looked you up and down. You wore a f/c dress, Stockings and a blue bowstring tied on your right wrist. He grinned and tugged you by his arm, pulling you closer and into his grasp. Before you could react his arm was already wrapped around your waist. "Hm. So all I have to do is indulge in this stupid holiday to have you wrapped up for me like this?" Kuni's gazed stayed focused on your now flustered expression with your body pressed against his, He trailed his free hand down to the hymn of your dress, Rubbing his fingertips along your clothed thigh. "Well..it is your birthday so I thought id-ah-give you~ something~" A small moan escaped your lips as he rubbed his hand along your ass, He scoffed a bit when he felt the latex of your stockings. "Oh? And what was that? This perfect body of yours that I can have whenever I want?" You nodded and stumbled in his touch, "Fuck.." Kuni let out a raspy breath. Your knee pressed against the forming tent in his pants. "If your done playing around, Im going to unwrap my gift now."

---

Kuni scooped you up properly, then placed you onto the bed. You looked at him eagerly as his pupils began to glow a fainter purple. He hastily took off his open chested kimono and bodysuit, discarding his vision as it dangled off the side of the bed. "Lay down for me." Kuni ordered. You complied and got comfortable, kicking off your flats and laying on the middle of the bed. He sunk his face into your neck and bit along your shoulder before leaving petals of kisses along your neck. You moaned softly into his ear and pressed your knee up a bit further, Stimulating him through his pants. "You- mn Slut. Rutting against me like this." Kuni bit harder, Sucking on your neck and creating red patches along your skin. He pulled away from your neck and smashed his lips against yours, His tongue eagerly intertwined with yours, Your lipbalm softly smeared against his own lips in friction as you moaned into his mouth. Kuni's hands shifted down towards your breasts, Cupping them harshly through your dress cloth. His member began throbbing through his pants, You wanted more. Touching him like this wasnt enough. Kuni pulled away and you whined. "Shh shh..Be patient my love." Your heart rate increased at his sudden sweet nickname, And as you we're distracted he pulled you near the edge of the bed and spread your legs. "K-kuni- wait! my stock-"

He tugged at the cloth and ripped it, Holes formed in the stitching near your thigh. Kuni's eyes widened a bit, You also had lacey lingerie on underneath. "Shit..You've been plotting this all day huh? To have me fuck you with these on?" His fingers pressed on the cotton, and slowly pulled your lingerie off as well. Your pussy was already glistening from his remarks and Kuni bit his lip. "God..I need to taste you right now darling, You look so good for me~ My perfect gift." Kuni leaned down in between your legs and licked along your folds. He was going to drag this out as long as he could. He took more short licks along your clit, Occasionally Licking at your bud while gripping you closer. Your legs twitched from his teasing. "Kuni..Please~ More~! I need it~!" You pleaded and kuni finally inserted his warm tongue inside your pussy. "Mn You taste s' good darling~" kuni's tongue licked along your walls and You bucked your hips a bit softly into his tongue. He then sunk farther in-between your legs, giving you a hazy sight of him pulling his bangs out of view and rubbing your clit against his lips. "K-kuni! wait your tongue~! Its-" "Loudher slut~ Mm-let me hear how good im making you feel~" You moaned into your hand while gripping tightly onto the bedsheets. Out of desperation to chase your high you pressed his head in between your thighs, Suffocating him in your taste. Kuni was so used to training himself how to breathe he forgot he was a puppet; He felt a bit lightheaded but couldnt help it as his length began throbbing so hard in his pants he felt as if he was going to cum untouched while rubbing your clit as you moaned out his name.

A coil snapped and you came undone, Letting out a muffled cry as you coaxed his lower face and tongue in your Juices, Squeezing your thigh one more time as your high subsided. The deafening silence blinked you out your daze as kuni got up from in-between your legs, Panting and his hair completely messy. "I- Kuni Im so sorry! Are you okay I didnt-" As you looked further down you noticed the wet stains coming from his shorts, He pulled the string and slid down his shorts and boxers, finally freeing his aching shaft. "Mmm..Fuck..You really are my slut arent you. My Pretty cocksleeve~" Kuni pulled up your dress finally over your head, frazzling your hair slightly and he panned your locks back in place with his thumb. "Spread your legs again for me.. darling And dont you dare-Hah..Get quiet again. Okay?" He said between panted breathes, you nodded and parted your legs again then held them up a bit until his tip grazed softly against your wet entrance, The puppet was already twitching from the contact and his precum smeared along your clit. Kuni looked up at you again, "Are you ready doll?" You hummed and he immediately plunged himself inside you, Moaning and groaning at your warmth.

"Ah~ F-fuck y/n." He bucked his hips up and down slowly. You wrapped your legs around him, pulling him closer as he kissed under your neck with your head rested on his pillow. Kuni let out heavy pleasured sighs in sync with your moans as you chased your second orgasm. With his face dug into your neck he searched for your hand, gripping at the bow then intertwining his hand in yours. Your body arched further as his bed began to creak from his quickening pace. His ornament and kimono fell off the bed with a slight clink, But kuni was in a daze from your walls clenching around his cock. "Y-your so tight y/n i- im fuck~! Gonna cum~!" Kuni tilted his head up, biting harder into your neck while your nails dug into his shoulders. You quickly came again, shuddering from your second orgasm as you coated his cock. Kuni soon came after, bucking himself balls deep into you with a harsh thrust, Ropes of his Cum gushed into your womb, Painting your walls the color of his seed.

Wanderer panted into your chest, The only sounds coming from him we're soft sighs of relief from his pent-up orgasm. He tried getting up, slowly pulling himself out of your stuffed pussy and fetching a towel. He then held your hand softly, gracing you up as he wiped any sweat or fluids off your body. He was deafly quiet and focused on cleaning you up. He sighed and got up until you gripped tightly on his hand. "Stay with me kuni…Please~?" Your eye lashes fluttered, Blinking out the small dry tears. The puppet stared at you as you held his hand. He was never showered with this much affection. Nonetheless for his birthday, He didn't know whether to get emotional or frustrated. And chuckled to himself at another one of his fatal flaws that he couldn't understand. "Heh. So needy arent you? Fine. I'll stay." Kuni then laid down with you ontop of him, planting a kiss on the crown of your head while you rested on his chest.

The next morning you woke up limp with your knees wobbling. You stumbled out the bed, noticing a pair of clothes sitting by the edge with a small note attached. "Not bad, I guess cooking is another thing Your reliable on. Lessor lord Kusanali is having me attend another Boring lecture, She says its 'important' But I don't really care. Ps. Check my desk when your done, Then meet me at the Akademiya. Hurry up."

On his desk was a bouquet of flowers….And another note. 'Thank you for the birthday gift darling.'

In a creative attempt to design nail art stickers myself, I cheekily took the trio of Sunlit-Froggy's great icons. They didn't turn out perfect, but it's also pretty tricky. I'm still trying things out to see where I can improve something, what works well or doesn't work at all, etc.

The final attempt for now can be found in my own modeling today: in my own Design with Sunny and Moony and their hearts. Still not perfect, but I'm totally happy with the design: it's harmonious, the colors harmonize perfectly with each other and the motifs are super cute <3

Thanks to Froggy, I even dared to create my own stickers and I'm so happy to have expanded my options again with a new technique :3

By the way: I allways forgot the Stars on Moony's hat, als i also gorgot the Sunbeams on the Sundrop but... yeah. Nevermind xD Original Post from @sunlit-froggi -Check them out, thes are AWSOME! Reblog and like froggy's Posting <3

HAPPY PRIDE! (From me & my ocs) :D

(I couldn't figure out how to get Glaze to work (TwT) and I really wanted to share this so uhhh here *throws this at you and then scampers away like the lil creature that I am* >:D)

Here are some screenshots of the individual characters because tumblr ate the image quality:

The flags (from left to right and top to bottom) are: Bisexual, Demiromantic, Pansexual, Transgender (times 2) plus a little bit of Lesbian, "Not Straight LOL", Bisexual plus Genderfluid, and Asexual at the very bottom. Please tell me if I got any of them wrong (I'm mostly worried about the Demiromantic one because I don't usually see it very often so I just went with the first result from Google ToT)

Bonus (Very Poorly Made) memes and image IDs under the cut! (warning the image ids are very long.) Happy pride everybody! :D

Bonus #1:

Bonus #2: (This one doesn't have the lesbian heart because I added it after my friend helped me make the fire text and I didn't want to bother them again TwT Sorry lesbians)

[IMAGE ID: The main image is a very tall drawing of a bunch of different characters holding various pride flags. The title says "HAPPY PRIDE! From me and my ocs" with "happy pride" being in all caps and "pride" in rainbow letters. The first two characters on the top left are doing the Barbie and Ken mugshot meme together, although both are smiling. The character on the left is holding a bisexual flag and the character on the right is holding a demiromantic flag. Another character to their right is waving a pansexual flag. On the next row of characters, the first two characters on the left are posing together and are both waving transgender flags. The character on the right also has a little heart with the lesbian flag floating next to her. To their right are two more characters. The character on the right is laughing with their arm looped through the arm of the character on the left, and the character on the right has a bisexual pin and is waving a genderfluid flag. The character on the left is blushing and holding a flag that says "Not Straight LOL" in rainbow letters. A small loading wheel and the words "Hearth.exe has stopped responding" can be seen near his head. Below them are three small characters all smiling and colored in various shades of blue, labeled "??? AKA my blue children". Below them are a group of characters including a water dragon, a tiger made of embers, a shark made of rocks (although he does not look like a shark because the artist does not know how to draw sharks), a dark purple owl, a small glowing creature with wings, a snow fox, a green moth, two relatively abstract creatures that resemble floating space liquid and pink fire respectively, and an eldritch-looking forest creature. These characters are labeled in all capital, bold letters as "Older than gender itself". An arrow is pointing towards the owl and the small glowing creature saying "except for these two. They are baby." with a silly emoji. Beneath these characters, a giant asexual flag can be seen over a bunch of vague scribbles labelled as "literally every single one of my ocs". The characters are all colored in bright, colorful colors. End ID.] [Image ID: The first bonus picture shows the two characters on the top left doing the Barbie and Ken mugshot meme, except yellow letters are put over their flags to say "Barbie" and "And Ken" respectively. End ID.] [Image ID: Thes second bonus picture shows the two characters with the transgender flags. Dark blue text next to the character on the left says "I'm ftm" while the text next to the character on the right says "I'm mtf". A plain white rectangle with the words "the transgender siblings" in all caps and fire font is near the bottom of the image. The character on the right does not have her lesbian heart because the artist forgot to include it. sorry lesbians. End ID.]

Hello and Good Day everyone!

I hope everyone has been well and has been able to work in their garden or towards any of their sustainable, self-sufficient or homestead journey this week :)

We've started getting what might be monsoon weather coming in. (Mostly just wind though. Some dirt. No rain though :'( )

The carrots I left to grow seed did some toppling.

They were about 5+ ft tall (almost as tall as me!). Kind looks like someone sat down in between 'em and pushed em over lol

I've done a bit of doctoring to raise them up a bit. But not everyone was save-able. I knew a few weren't gonna make it, so i Figured I'd take the opportunity to show different stages of carrot flowers real close :)

This is one of the unfortunate carrots I couldn't save. I was working on propping and heard it snap in the soil.

Check out that fat taproot! My soils isn't too deep (pipe concerns.) So I'm pretty sure it woulda been fine if the soil was deeper. I plan on cutting this open to show the different inner parts later :) I will not be eating this carrot, but instead will be giving it to my chickens.

This is the stem, it was about an inch round and at full height was about 4 ft tall.

The circled part I believe is called an intercalary node, the link below has more in depth info if you are curious and want to look up or know more :)

https://www.biologyonline.com/dictionary/intercalary-meristem

This pic has a few different flowering stages.

Some quick info,

A carrot flower is called an umbel and is a type of compound flower.

Each flower on the tip of the umbrella shaped structure has 5 petals and are white in color. (Thes petals fall off when they begin developing seeds)

The kinda scraggly looking umbell in the center is losing its flower petals and seed is starting to come in! 🥳 as seed develops id suggest getting some organza bags or similar to keep them from falling to the ground. I still need to get some myself.

They, to me don't have much scent but are very pretty! And the variety of pollinators in the area love them.

Plenty of bees, unfortunatly I haven't been able to catch pics of the butterflies yet!

And flies! I had to look it up but flies are pollinators species. Guess no fly traps in the garden for now.

And one last pic for today, this one's not a carrot but chard! I've not yet seen chard go to seed so this will be a fun learning experience :)

Definitely bolting action going on.

Bolting is when the weather changes too fast (usually seen when it gets too hot) and the plant panics and tries to seed as fast as it can.

I'll be keeping and eye on it and posting as it changes :)

That's it for now everyone, I hope you all ahve an amazing weekend!

🌱🥕Happy Seed saving! 🥕🌱

Lucy Gray Baird - an innocent victim or a manipulator?

What's your first impression of Lucy Gray?

Do you think she loved Coriolanus in tbosas?

What do you think might have happened to Lucy Gray in the end?

What's your opinion about theories :

1. Greasy Sae as Lucy Gray.

2. Coin as a daughter or relative of Lucy Gray.

Thank you :)

@curiousnonny

Thank you for the question, Nonny! And as usual, I am very sorry it took me ages to answer.

Lucy Gray Baird - an innocent victim or a manipulator?

Lucy Gray is a fascinating and complex character. It seems to me that it is impossible to clearly classify it into either of these two categories.

Without a doubt, in some sense she is a victim, like other children from the districts who were forced to kill each other in the most gruesome game in the world. In a sense, she is also a manipulator; she is able to attract attention of the crowd with her voice and charisma.

In the songs she wrote herself, she allows listeners to look deeper into her soul and she shows them scenes from her own past. We learn that she was forced to earn a living by entertaining others, that she "spread kisses like honey". She was no stranger to gambling and perhaps even stealing ("you stole and you gambled and I said you should").

However, in my opinion, she may not have done any of these things if she had not been forced to do so by unfavorable circumstances. She was, above all, an artist. Her manipulation consisted mainly in attracting the crowd with her voice. She was somewhat like Katniss, but more liberated (in terms of not feeling like she belonged to the districts).

What's your first impression of Lucy Gray?

I thought she was fascinating in her own way. A colorful, charming, unconventional, undoubtedly brave character. I must admit that I approached her a little differently than I did with Katniss, for whom I felt great sympathy and compassion from the beginning. Lucy shocked me, although I admired her very much.

Do you think she loved Coriolanus in tbosas?

As for her and Coryo... I think Lucy didn't trust people on principle and that she needed more time to learn to love ("When I'm pure like a dove, When I've learned how to love"). Especially since not so long ago she got hurt and betrayed by a boy she cared about very much. She told Coryo that for her, trust was more important than love. It seems to me that she cared about him and trusted him almost completely. She thought he was an amazing person. Did he love him? I guess it was probably a little too early for that, but there was no doubt that she could and wanted to love him. I think at this stage it was more of a close friendship and infatuation.

I am a person for whom being in love and loving someone are not synonymous. Being in love is characterized by the beginning of a relationship, butterflies in the stomach, blushing, thinking about the other person in superlatives, fireworks. Love is something deeper, truer. It is understanding another person at a higher level, being there for them, accepting their flaws, feeling safe and stable.

What do you think might have happened to Lucy Gray in the end?

I think that she might have somehow survived. No one ever found her body or bones, which probably would have happened if she had died shot by Coryo. Unless Snow returned there later and buried her body himself or threw it into the lake... but I believe she survived and lived somewhere outside the districts, in the wilderness.

I don't think she'll go back to the D12, and I don't think she could be happy in D13 either. Even if she did get there, she would probably leave quickly. I think she may have died a few years later, from natural causes such as hypothermia. However... I guess the charm of the ending is that we don't know what happened. Lucy is gone just like her namesake from the song...

1. Greasy Sae as Lucy Gray.

No, no! I don't think it would be possible and to be honest, I don't like this idea. I like Greasy Sae a lot, she's great, but no. These two are completely different characters. I know people change, but not quite so much...

2. Coin as a daughter or relative of Lucy Gray.

No, I don't think so. In my opinion, there is no evidence for that. Even if she had survived, I doubt she'd ever get married or have children... Not after such bad experiences. She cared and trusted two men, and both of them betrayed her. Also, I don't think it would be possible for Coin to be Lucy's daughter. Just... I can't imagine Lucy's child being this cold-hearted. As for a relative... Lucy's family had been killed. I think it is too far-stretched.

Thanks again, @curiousnonny!!!!!

Beauty in creation.

Art is a bit like magic—it mixes feelings with imagination, making ordinary stuff look colorful when I put it on paper. When I see paintings, sculptures, or digital art, it's like taking a trip to different views that make me think more about the world. Art is like a silent chat between the artist and me, speaking without words. I really love doing art; every time I paint, it changes how I feel. Recently, I've been going to art galleries to get ideas and feel happy. Painting isn't just fun for me; it's my cozy spot where I can relax, especially when being a k-idol is challenging. It's like taking care of myself and discovering more about who I am. In my free time, you'll usually find me painting, letting my imagination run wild. Painting is a big part of me; it makes me feel good and helps me understand myself better. With Christmas around, I remember putting up decorations on our Christmas tree. It's like adding colors to a blank canvas. Just like how painting brings me joy, decorating the tree gives a different kind of happiness. Each decoration turns the tree into a festive piece of art. It's a simple but special way to enjoy the holiday season and keep those happy moments alive. The lights and colorful ornaments make it a pretty sight, much like the bright colors on a canvas. Decorating the tree lets me show my holiday spirit, a bit like how painting lets me express myself. Each decoration holds memories, a bit like looking at old pictures. It's not just about the shiny stuff; it's about feeling the holiday and sharing it with others.

As I stand in the art gallery, surrounded by various pieces, I realize that art is a universal language that speaks to everyone differently. Each brushstroke, sculpture, or digital creation has its own story, inviting me to interpret and connect with it. It's fascinating how art can evoke a range of emotions and perspectives, creating a unique experience for each observer. Whether it's the classical beauty of an old-style painting or the innovative approach of modern sculptures, art has a way of transcending time and connecting people across generations. During my visits to art galleries, I've noticed how each artist pours a piece of themselves into their work. It's like they've captured a moment in time, frozen emotions on canvas or in clay. As I explore these masterpieces, I feel a sense of connection with the creators, as if we're sharing a silent conversation through their artwork. It deepens my appreciation for the diversity of human expression and the myriad ways people find to communicate their thoughts and feelings.

Just like how art enriches my life, the holiday season brings its own special kind of magic. Beyond the decorations and festivities, there's a warmth in the air that brings people closer. It's a time when we exchange not only gifts but also moments of joy and laughter. Just as each ornament on the Christmas tree holds memories, the holiday season is filled with shared experiences that become cherished over time. Whether it's baking cookies with loved ones or singing carols around the fireplace, these traditions create a sense of belonging and connection. In the midst of my artistic endeavors and festive celebrations, I've come to appreciate the simple yet profound truth that both art and the holiday season offer—the power to bring people together. Whether through a stroke of paint on a canvas or the glow of Christmas lights, these experiences weave a tapestry of shared moments that shape our memories and define our sense of self. As I continue to explore the realms of art and embrace the magic of the holidays, I find solace and inspiration in the beauty of human expression and the joy of togetherness.

How about you, Fearnots? Have you ever found yourself captivated by a piece of art or discovered a special connection during the holiday season? Whether it's a cherished painting that speaks to you or a holiday tradition that holds sentimental value, these personal encounters with creativity and joy contribute to the richness of our lives. As we navigate the diverse expressions of art and the warmth of holiday traditions, it's these shared stories that connect us, making the tapestry of human experience even more vibrant.

also, ive been thinking abt the lorcan family sigil and like...idk why but ive been in my feels lately abt swan lake/the wild swans esp w the loyalty-unto-death motif that runs through both those stories it just feels so v malconaire to me idk, and ive been thinking for awhile maybe there was a fairy tale in astaira that kind of links those two tales effectively (ive actually got kind of a notion abt this that needs a lot of fleshing out but that i can def share if you like!) and [ this ] and [ this ] have always struck me as motifs rosie might do for some dresses, and then we got talking abt the malconaire/lorcan heraldic dresses and today i saw [ this ]

anyway it all kinda clicked like what if the lorcan charge was a swan??? like maybe its a fairy tale said to have happened to their ancestors or smth if we wanna go w that idk??? regardless of that, other ideas for the charge could perhaps involve a lake and/or a castle/mountains or whatever, or we could do it all (perhaps the lorcan castle is located in the mountains by a lake a la the dress above or smth) idk but yeah!! lksdajfklsjdfj alternately any of the above we ~don't do for house malconaire! so yeah just a random thought i had today, and i am by no means married to it, we can 100% do smth else!! but since i had it, i thought id mention it heehee

castle: safety, spiritiual strength and vigilance, home. may represent an actual building in addition to these meanings

anyway!! feel free to answer here or in the family post we got going or wherever else, but i just wanted to put this here bc it got so long ahahaha

OOC | Malconaires (OG & Step)

hi, guys! here's smth absolutely no one asked for! heehee so, since we've been talking heraldry (my fav subject! alksjdfklsjdf) i wondered if anyone had any thoughts on the malconaires' heraldic devices etc? both re: the og malconaires AND valentina's formerly-royal birth fam?

i know that kate the great had mentioned asp that she envisions eithne in cool colors and esp greens? in heraldry, green is emblematic of hope, joy, and loyalty in love all of which feels v them to me! honestly, i also associate them w green a lot, too, bc they give lotsa plant and nature symbolism for me <3 but im open to any/everything!! i just thought that might be a place to start talking abt it if we're interested heehee

for valentina's fam...i tend to associate both val and cassimir w black just bc i think they both dress that way a lot hahaha (in heraldry that stands for constancy or grief which alsjdfkjsf but anyway) but yeah obv this is also just a jumping-off point for chatting abt it there're endless possibilities!

yknow what...imma put a list here of colors and their heraldic meanings for us:

TINCTURES

or (yellow/gold): generosity and elevation of the mind

argent (white/silver): peace and sincerity

gules (red): warrior or martyr; military strength and magnanimity

azure (blue): truth and loyalty

vert (green): hope, joy, and loyalty in love

sable (black): constancy or grief

pupure (purple): royal majesty, sovereignty, and justice

tawny/tenné (orange/brown): worthy ambition

sanguine/murray (maroon): patience in battle, and yet victorious

furs (ermines, erminois, vair, counter vair, pean, potentnt counter potent): dignity

DIFFERENCES/MARKS OF CADENCY (often used to delineate cadet branches so this probs allies to valentina and her brood but pls note that these symbols do not ~always indicate these things mostly only do so when used in conjuction w another charge -- for example if we take, say, house lannister from asoiaf, a lion w a crescent [usually placed almost like an asterisk or a period] would indicate that person is either themselves the second son or descended from a second son from house lannister -- tho the way grrm tends to handle this is the other way of doing it which is switching colors and things like that similar to what we did w house varmont so!! lots of possibilities but here's another way to do it if we want)

label: eldest son

crescent: second son

mullet: third son

marlet: fourth son

annulet: fifth son

fleur-de-lis: sixth son

rose: seventh son

cross moline: eighth son

double quatrefoil: ninth son

imma add a pic of these for reference since the meaning of these is somewhat obscure for a number of them (and it even shows how to do branches ~within cadet houses which could also be valuable for valentina and her kids alksjdfkjsdf):

i also have a v extensive list of charges and their meanings but its sooooo long i think id have to publish that as its own document hahaha or else i can just list possibilities if we choose a category (ex: birds, trees), if you like!
