#having a more aggressive character learning to be nicer to others and expressing themself in better ways

[anulithots]

Oh. This is an interesting one. Personally, I have complex feelings about this concept. I also took 'being myself' too far, getting high off praise and genuinely thinking that I was smarter than anyone else.

On the opposite side tho, I started being really mean to myself, thinking that if I made myself smaller, it would counteract my over-inflated ego. Soooo... I like to think to think its a balance, which is easier said than done.

Anywho, this is a really really interesting concept, thanks for giving me the chance to explore it. I think this rose will almost be a foil to the Venus fly trap, since both are about different aspects of socializing.

Socializing is hard. That's the moral. /only half-joking.

And I looked up types of roses, and I think dog roses would be cool.

From this website

"The dog rose is an aggressive grower, so some people might consider it invasive. It can climb or remain a shrub, and it has a long history that dates back to Hippocrates. It gets its name from an ancient belief that the flower could cure the bite of a mad dog."

It's also a wild rose, recently cultivated, a wild creature, more so than the other houseplants. They only make one bloom, and.. they seem like an interesting plant to write about.

They are dragon-esque apparently with large claws and spikes, old roses and modern-hybrid roses have large manes and softer features.

I'll get started with the actual episodes as soon as I can, thank you so much for participating <3

Asking all the writeblrs I love to grow a vast garden, apologies if I ask the same thing twice *

Hello! I'm attempting to grow a Tumblr garden, with input from people around here to make a series of short stories about' houseplant fairies. The hope would be to have a 'community tumblr garden' full of all the wholesomeness the internet can offer.

Here's the request/seed - do you have a prior worry' or 'stumbling block'. perhaps an event or a piece of advice others told you that didn't help much or simply an' obstacle that you overcame. To be honest, I'm unsure of how to accurately describe 'the seed' but something in the realm of 'society expectations versus what actually helped- or whatever you wish? Also also, favorite plant/houseplant/ flower to write the story about.

Thanks for participating :)

hello unknown!! this is my main blog and my writeblr is @briarborealisocs but ill just answer here and rb it over there lol since this is kind of a catchall blog anyway

thank u so much for the support as always!! let's see here. this seed i think shall grow into a rose of some sort. a stumbling block of sorts for me was the idea that being your true, authentic self meant saying every thought that came through your head without any filter or regard for how you affect other people. i really bought into the idea that you should never ever change for others, which is a nice sentiment, but one that i took too far. i was mean. i didn't hold any regard for other people's feelings or experiences. we are pretty social creatures and it's good to be considerate of how what you're doing will affect others—even if that means changing the way you would say or do something. :)
