series questions

thank you for all the love on the series! i'm so happy to hear you guys like it and how you're looking forward to part 2. thank you thank you thank you!

the next part isn't season 4, it is just part 2 of season 3. it's meant to be a bit more slice of life/fantasy instead of the dark fantasy we've been doing.

i agree, owen and grey are a mess. i wouldn't be surprised if they broke up.

yes, melissa is still coming to visit in november. idk if she and ame will cross paths, but wouldn't that be interesting?

yes, ernest is a gorgon! his appearance is inspired by a rattlesnake.

no, he and eloise did not sleep together that night he stayed at her home.

blender questions

i use blender 3.6. i talked about my render settings in this post.

my (unfinished) render tutorial is here.

sometimes i download a scene, other times i'll make my own scene. i just find random ones on like pinterest to use. i have some that i've paid for by architecture sims and ehsims. would highly recommend ehsims. love the quality of the scenes. the lighting is always always good.

yes, blender content for dulce (now jade & marie) will be paywalled. it's not meant for ts4 at all. not rigged for ts4 and will use none of its assets. if i do release anything from the brand for ts4 it will be free. i don't fw making y'all pay for cc. no early access or anything either cause i hate waiting just like how y'all do. but rn it's meant to just be a digital brand for me to practice 3d modeling with.

general questions

the shots of sav's apt and ernest's room were taken in-game.

the reshade preset i use is personal. i only make my own and i usually switch things up with every shot.

i use srwe to get better in-game quality shots!

the glow effect is a mix of relight and the arcanebloom effect.

typically i make my own builds, but lately i've been downloading a few. it's a lot harder to do now since the switch to dx11. i have to run all the cc through the patcher, so it takes a bit longer to get builds in game. i haven't branched out too much lately but i'm looking for more alpha cc builds! i've got a few now from bean's builds.

wcifs

the jm bags are a recolor of these bags.

i get all my cars from breeze motors. they're high poly.

ernest's hair is by estrojans. it's the dee cut. find that here.

i made the light in kaila's home. i can put it out if you'd like. it won't be as neat as an official MA post, but i can throw it up on s4s in the next few days.

ceres' locs are all by khadijah! love love love her work.

i haven't finished ernest's room but i will do a full lookbook for it soon. the computers are by hanraja!

his snake terrarium is by sg5150. the light inside of it is just a relight effect lamp.

imogen's skin is a mix of things, so it's hard to give specifics. i also use the color slider mod. all of the cast use some variation of skins by thisisthem.

the roses eloise is holding in the blender scene are by solethesimmer. they are for blender only.

imogen's orchid earrings are personal. i made them. i haven't posted them publicly.

plant care masterpost ⋆˚✿˖°

part 1 Types of Plants: plants come in all shapes and sizes and each plant has specific needs! so here's some quick tips to keep in mind while picking out a little plant friend!

a general rule of thumb when choosing a plant is considering how the plant thrives in it's natural habitat and providing that with your care, whether it's in a sunny spot in your window or in your garden outside. Succulents and Cacti need more sun and dry conditions than tropical plants that enjoy more wet and humid conditions. keep this in mind while growing many different types at once!

if growing plants in a terrarium make sure there is plenty of light and air circulation to prevent moisture buildup and rot. do not seal the plants inside! you'll want to be able to remove them in case they get sick.

all plants have unique grow-times and dormant periods. for example plants native to the northern hemisphere go dormant (hibernate) while plants in the southern hemisphere are growing, and vice-versa. plants in their peak grow-time require more water and care than dormant ones.

some tropical plants have very specific needs; like staghorns, orchids and air plants so I recommend researching those thoughroughly before getting one.

I don't have a lot of experience with trees, fruits and vegetables so I'm skipping those for now.

Watering: the amount of water a plant needs depends mostly on what type of plant it is and which climate it's in. remember that growing plants need more water and dormant plants need less!

plants only drink when they're awake! roots are most active during the daytime so water your plants in the morning, afternoon or evening. watering at night will cause too much water to sit in the pot and will rot the roots.

tropical plants are picky needy guys and enjoy very damp, humid, rainforest-like conditions. humidifiers help keep moisture in the air as well as routine misting with a waterbottle, just make sure there's proper ventilation so the plants aren't too wet for too long.

arid plants like succulents and cacti are pros at storing water and need less watering than other plants. (I water mine every 2 weeks. 3 weeks in the winter.)

no plant likes having wet feet! make sure your pots and containers have drainage holes to allow airflow to the roots and so excess water can escape.

it's always better to under water than to overwater! it's easier to save a dried-up plant than a rotten one. so if your plant seems sick it's better to hold off on watering it for a while.

most plants die from getting too much water! overwatering leads to rot, infections, mold, and even attracts bugs! it's a bad time! so only water your plants when the soil is dry and make sure there's proper drainage.

an overwatered plant will look sickly. it might turn yellow or pale, drop it's leaves, or be squishy to the touch. some plants like succulents or cacti may have swollen, cracked stems from absorbing too much water.

an underwatered plant will look droopy and the leaves will feel dry, crispy or wrinkled. water the plant throughroughly until water drains out of the bottom of the container and give it some time to recover. if your plant is severely dehydrated you might want to completely soak it, spraying the entire plant and putting the pot in a basin or tray of water so it can absorb water as needed.

Soil: the type of soil depends on the type of plant, but all plants require nutrients in order to grow. it's important to use well-draining soil and provide airflow to the roots.

typically you want soil that's a mix of organic matter and grit (like pumice or lava rock.) the organic matter provides nutrients while grit helps keep the soil loose so it doesn't compact and rot the roots while watering. (I've been using Bonsai Jack's gritty mix for years and I swear by the stuff.)

keep in mind that thick, organic soil holds water longer than a loose, gritty mix and takes longer to dry out so you should water your plants less. likewise, gritty mix drains faster and may require more watering, especially in the summer.

seedlings require more nutrients and have less developed roots so highly organic soils or coco coir works best. (more organic matter = more prone to rot though so be careful!)

worms are friends. like seriously. earthworms in your pots are a good thing! not only does it mean your soil is rich in nutrients plants love, but worm tunnels help create air pockets in the soil so your plant's roots can breathe easier and helps prevents rot. they won't hurt your plant at all and only eat decomposing matter. if you don't want them in your house though they'll do wonders for your garden!

I put Baby's Tears into my macodes petola jewel orchid terrarium and I really like how it's looking! I hope it spreads well, I think it'll make a really nice and delicate carpet plant especially once the orchids get significantly larger.

[edogawa-division]

It was late in the evening when Kaoru was called out of her lab for the umpth time today. Of course, she was pretty much used to it at this point. After all, unlike other days, today was her birthday. Normally, her mother and younger sister didn't bother her unless it was important. But today was not one of those days since a multitude of gifts was not waiting for Kaoru in the family's living room, which put a huge grin on the birthday woman's face.

The first was a video game. One known as Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, a rather old game that recently got a remake. Though it came out a year ago, it was still fairly new and popular, especially among action fans. Tapped to the back of it was a note, which read:

'Dear Kaoru,

Happy birthday! Hope it's going really well for you! I heard from Kanra that you got a giant robot for your birthday?! For reals?! You're so lucky! You have to promise to let me ride it sometime! Anyway, speaking of giant robots, I bought this game for you. The reviews on it are pretty good, but I wouldn't know since I've not played it yet. But let me know how it is so I can try it out! Happy birthday again!

Sincerely,

Zakari

P.S. I'm serious about that giant robot ride.'

Giving a slight chuckle, Kaoru put the game aside, turning to her next gift.

It was a flower terrarium, full of various flowers, but mainly orchids. Though it was a glass, Kaoru could still smell the plants. Thankfully, they weren't intoxicating like most flowers, and still smelled good. Though she could already guess who they were from, the birthday woman read the note that came with the gift anyway...

'Dear Kaoru-chan,

A most wonderful and joyous happy birthday to you. I was informed by Yuriko-san that today was your day of birth so I decided to make this for you. This was my first attempt at making a terrarium, so I hope I did a fairly decent job. I chose mainly orchids, because I believe they symbolize you very much in that they signify creativity, strength and beauty, three attributes I feel suit you perfectly. I hope your birthday is going well, and I pray you have many more. Happy birthday once again, my dear.

Sincerely,

Shisuta Heisha'

Finishing the note, Kaoru gave a sigh and a shake of her head, as this meant she'd have to find someplace in her room or lab to put this thing. Still, she couldn't fault Shisuta for thinking of her, even though she wished she gift her something other flowers for a change. Putting the terrarium to the side, she turned to the last and largest gift and had high hopes for it, hoping it was what she thought it was. And thankfully, her hopes weren't dashed.

It was a birthday cake, which got a birthday smile out of the birthday woman, who couldn't wait to taste it. Taped to the box was a letter, which read:

'Dear Kaoru,

Happy birthday once again to you. I hope it's going well. My apologies for sending this to you so late, but work has been long and hard. But that's still no excuse. Regardless, I hope this cake makes up for it. Enjoy, and see you and your family soon.

Sincerely,

Luis Kōkyū

P.S. You have Kanra-chan to thank for the anime figures on the cake.'

“Oh let’s go! More cake!” Kaoru threw her hands in the air excitedly. Luis never disappointed in his cakes and score! It was even themed after one of her favorite mecha anime!

“Kaoru it’s far too late to be eating that much sugar don’t you think?” Yuriko questioned a single eyebrow raised as she watched both her daughters eye the cake much like a predator would eye their prey.

“Yuriko please!”

“Just one slice!”

Yuriko’s lips twitched, finding the sight of Kaoru and Kanra begging just a bit amusing. She was gonna let them have a slice anyway she just found teasing them too good to pass up, especially after the mess that was the backyard a few hours ago. Oh. That was an idea.

“Fine one slice anymore, and the two of you will be bouncing all around the house all night.” Yuriko walked over to one of the drawers, pulling out a knife, utensils, and plates. “I’d like for you to go to bed at normal times for once, especially you, Kaoru.”

Slicing into the cake, Yuriko cut two pieces, one for each of the two gremlins, and placed them on a plate. Kaoru and Kanra, excited for a slice, didn't notice the mischievous smile on their adoptive mother’s face and were entirely unprepared for when Yuriko smashed the cake slices into their faces.

“Ah!”

“Nani the fuck?”

“Hahahaha!” Yuriko laughed as she watched the two of them wipe the cake and frosting off their faces. “Maybe now you two will think twice about destroying my backyard. Now clean yourself up, and then you can have your one slice you two.”

Wrote this for the Drug Cartel AU @cheshire-shuntaro created. Imagined Andro as Hatter's wife who is secretly in love with Aguni, and only married him because it was arranged by her father. Hope you like this. ☆

Gridded plots of flowers and herbs, hothouses she or any of the men or women who worked for her cared for around the clock, terrariums with the most exotic plants and insects. Andrómeda's favorite hobby had taken over the garden of the ridiculously big villa, property of her husband, El Sombrerero Loco. Her presence, however, had not taken over the drug cartel he led.

There was only a particular part of the garden that showed the hand of somebody other than the raven-haired Spanish woman. Here, different flowers grew; blue, cobalt, aquamarine, sapphire, periwinkle orchids, poppies, peonies. Blue, just what she was feeling. Blue. Like the dress she had been wearing the last time she had seen him. His favorite color, as well.

'Tienes que hacerlo.' You have to do it, had been her father's last words before passing away from the cancer that had consumed him from the inside in six stupid months, before softening the iron grip on her hand. A way to guarantee hers, and her siblings safety. Marry Takeru Danma.

She had complied, of course. Like any good daughter would. Submissive, yielding, malleable, with a smile plastered on her face. Knowing she would be nothing other than a trophy wife, a pretty little thing to show around in parties, arm candy. Knowing her heart belonged to someone else. She did her best to fit the role: workouts, expensive creams, hairdressers, manicures, pedicures. The best and tightest clothes money could buy, high heels that gave her vertigo.

Looking at this floral sea gave her an itch in the lower part of the back of her neck she couldn't shake off, no matter what way she moved her shoulders. A lump in her throat that wouldn't disappear, no matter how many times or how hard she swallowed. A pain in her stomach that wouldn't pass, no matter how many remedies she looked for. Hot tears filling her dark, brown eyes, as she remembered the nights shared, how he had helped when she had presented to her newly-appointed husband her plans for a beautiful garden. He had dismissed her, of course. 'That's why we have gardeners for.' 'Yes, but I want something of my own...' she had insisted. And again, and again, and again. And Takeru's answer had always been no, until Aguni had intervened.

'Let her have this. She'll be happier. And you know what they say, happy wife...'

Oh, I'll only be happy in your arms.

They both knew that. They both kept that like a secret, like an oath.

Since Andrómeda and Takeru had married, Aguni and her had never been alone in the same room. Which made it all the more surprising when he had approached her as she had been working on her garden one afternoon. Dirty with mud, hair unbrushed, skin red and full of freckles, kissed by the sun.

'Why don't you make that corner blue?'

'Blue? How many flowers do you know that are naturally blue?'

'You have the money. Your brother could engineer them...'

'He's a chemist. Not a biologist.'

She wanted to say more. She didn't want him to leave. But she knew she had to answer like that, with a hard edge coming into her voice. Not to give him any hope. Not to give it to herself.

Weeks later, she had found the first blue flower growing there. She hadn't planted it. He had. A secret message. Unspoken words. I still love you. I always will. As long as this garden is alive.

From that day onwards, she had made sure of one thing. Always wearing something of that same color. An answer, written in a language only lovers doomed by destiny understood. Your feelings are reciprocated.

Even now, that he had gone away, she still did it. Because the flowers kept growing. And as long as the garden lived, she'd keep watering it.

Hello, how do you keep the humidity high enough for your ball pythons? My boy has a glass terrarium and I really have trouble with it even though I mist and pour water in his substrate. Should I buy an automatic mister?

Hey! Thanks for the question.

Automatic misters aren’t necessarily a great idea because you need to take them apart and clean them so often because they build up *so much damn bacteria* and other ungodly shit so fast. (Though, as I’m reading this out to Star, they’re telling me that if you get blacked out tubes for your mister, it helps with that a ton. So!)

In reality, humidity is affected by a ton of things - what heating and lighting do you use, what substrate do you use, where’s his water bowl in reference to his heating? What’s the opening like; is there mesh that needs to be covered at all?

What we’ve found is that using deep heat projectors over things like ceramic heat helps a ton, as well as checking in and pouring/mixing water into a mix of orchid bark and/or cypress mulch, coco husk and top soil. Sometimes we mix some moss in there to be fancy and bump it up more.

Humidity is a bastard! Don’t feel too awful for not being able to keep it completely perfect, you can add humidity hides if your bab really needs it. Also make sure that your bowl is big enough for him to soak in if needed!

Made a terrarium. The mold is from the moss milkshake I made. Hopefully it doesn't impede the growth of the moss. It doesn't seem to be affecting the reindeer lichen as you can see from the green spots. I'm surprised it's growing so quickly. Hopefully I don't have to cut it back to give the moss a chance to grow. I was hoping to make this a closed terrarium, but I'm also not willing to let my little orchid die, so it is what it is. We'll see how it goes!

Thanathos

An Azem based on F and M Midlander models: different from Nemi in eye colors and shape, facial structure, hair and skin tone, but closer in chin and lips. I saw this hair design contest entry and felt it fitted the base idea perfectly, so I traced over and finalized this lingering concept.

Her odd eyes and hair style of organized ruffle reflect a divide in his behavior and interests in regards to society and herself.

Their Apartment is a studio where they keep and organize the landscaping artworks made in their travels, though the painting here is clearly nothing like that. In fact, it caused great scandal and upheaval before Thanatos left the convocation and disappeared from Amaurot without a trace. Just what was in his mind?

Here is how Azem and WoL Compare in stats

(cw for person restraining with bindings under the cut, but no more than that)

He's that person who speaks little and seems very calm and collected, but has a wild imagination and proposals that make her fit for the Azem role. Their honest talk can be disconcerting from how direct with verbose language it is, but his scant words are always earnest. He is perceived as observant but closed off in hyperfocus.

She seeked the seat of Azem to paint as much different landscapes as she could find, specially with the new tints brought by the dance of the moon and the sun. His expositions upon return to Amaurot enchant the people, making her respect despite eccentricities. He feels there is something missing in his paintings that makes them not as evocative of what he felt exploring.

Despite his great skill for art, his passion is definitely recent. He only took on the practice when, passing the Amaurot equivalent of college after a failed rivalry with Hythlodaeus in the matter building principles track. His aethersight is much weaker so, hard leg to jog. Despite this, she accepted an invitation to a painting demo by the current seat of Altima. She found her calling in this visit, and was surprised by a gift of Hythlo of many materials that he forced Hades to help him select. Hythlo would tease "he finally saw a good smile beyond that stone carved stoicness of hers, and she's ought to carve it brighter." He chuckled at this and became a bigger frequency in their circle, specially asking their aid for scouring archives of past landscapes of the Earth. Despite this, both men feel is Thanatos not completely open about her inner world nor seeking of direct connections with people. Or maybe he is really that passion driven? This gap in perception made Emet crestfallen when Nemi, the "familiar," punched him and berated him during the Lykaeon matter. He wondered if this is what Thanatos really thought of this personality...

In the matter of concepts, Thanatos has a complicated history: she found early on her attempts at organic living things were a major disaster due to anxiety in the physical creation stage. The only thing he ever managed were non offensive mendellii orchids. To "graduate" as a society member, he made different kinds of glass materials and layouts of decorative stairs and big vases for huge plants terrariums, which still veers close to composition of spaces..

But in his travels as Azem, she finds a creature bleeding from the back. To save it, she closes the wound and molds wings thinking of Halmarut's wing in the akadaemia. And so, he accidentally makes the first Griffin named Griepas, which stays at his side even when he tries to depart in Amaurot. He makes a secret space for it before finally justifying its existence to the Bureau without having it sent to Elpis: it was an accident of compassion, not an attempt to break the balance. He would personally keep the creature under his control and safe.

For the "Grapes" incident, she trapped the volcanic aether in a fictional plane, painting and moving the paint up in the air until it cools vertically... Leaving a wall of lava the locals take as a promise of protection.

In his travels as Azem, he developed canvas as supplies fitting for plein air painting, both in normal extreme conditions. She would frequently submit concepts for review long after she's already made and used them in paintings submitted to the gallery. No one saw the point when most could make concepts from thin air, but none of those matched the volume and play in colors of Thanatos' works. He did devise shortcuts for his work though: layering add and erase on physical canvas, just like layers of a digital art program.

From a young age, he's an all rounder. His abilities ring to weapons and abilities akin to a Sage, Red Mage and Warrior. He was not a fan of sparring though, and left fighting was a last resort in all his travels as Azem. He still mastered his styles under Venat's mentorship though he didn't like sparring with people. Her connection to her was majorly professional, but he seemed content with her dynamic insights on connections between people and deeply respected her for the insights that deepened his artistic thinking. Venat understands his focus and, aloofness deeply enough to tell him of the truth of the future and his part to play on it.

Learning of Nemi made a drastical change on her person.

For someone to carry his same soul, but be so vivacious and strong through horrors he would never think of, punch a guy that is overlauded and capture his mentor's affections... She musthave seen so many sights he'll never get to see and paint. Everything about her is more exciting than the present world of monotone Academy and no risk taking. He realized then he liked the challenge art itself presented: you couldn't snap your finger into good texture and clear forms. Trying to magick out a mental image took enough brain power to cause organ failure...

From all this, people would realize she randomly smiles more with her head in the clouds. Musings of Nemi could her every thought. For the first time he studies how to draw people. He makes a excuse to visit Elpis and trace the places where she must have wandered, longing to open her mind and see this stiff world through her eyes.

That's when she saw the object of her obsession leaving the Gates of Pandaemonium a second time, she immediately casts sleeps on her and binds her standing in her apartment, floating with arms up and underdress of her armour on. It's like a cat putting its paw on a pigeon as it tries to struggle away, and that's how Nemi screams and struggles once she wakes up. He gestures her to compose, pushing water and Deipnon on her lips as an act of good faith. He'd clear her airways as she sneezes on it, apologizing for the roughness and circling her with remarks on the depth of her muscles and tangents of her ears. Nemi would demand to know what the fuck does she want, and she'd turn a chair and sit on it leaning on the backrest, smiling and whispering, "to know your soul no longer mine."

She would then recite how she wishes to reside and live in her soul, to see that world that is new but still the same earth with the different winds, fears and sensations born from precious mortality. Nemi would be surprised but, strangely touched Thanatos wants to get to know her, assuming there are really no sultrier intentions than a longing for ego death. She realizes Thanatos is out of her sight suddenly, and screams as several scissors seem to dig and cut at the nerves at her back. Nemi manages to back kick her in the gut and then cough blood, black spots forming in her eyes. Thanatos panics and overheals her slowly, claiming the aetherbouncer had never caused this effect in any living creature before. His magicks have actually expanded her lifespan for at least 86 years, but he won't realize this yet. First, he'll release the bindings and confess the frustrations he bears with society that led to his fixation. Nemi is actually intrigued and, surprised by this kind of struggle, observing his audience is too distant from his lived experiences: beautiful a painting might be, people who've never left the city and felt nature in its full element won't have the experience to imagine vividly. Thanatos realizes how alone he felt in this frustration, feeling different when connecting to others.

With this, Nemi would ask Thanatos what he likes to paint, in exchange for the perspective of hers he seeks. They would fall in balanced conversation, with a sudden shorter version of Nemi flanking Thanatos' side and the original asking if she still wants to feel what her soul is like. Rather than question, Thanatos nods fast and extends her hand to the apparition as requested, the trio engaging in communion crossing their lived sensations and memories. End of the experience, she tearfully asks if she could paint her. Nemi, now relaxed and in power of the situation, undresses fully and asks how topose.

Because of the Communion, Thanatos sees flashes of lived experiences on her: her weapons, her bones, the tail limbs and horns of flesh when she was a Lightwarden, the light bleeding from the present scars on her back. All these were mixed in the shape building of her form with the face obscured. Nemi just hummed in approval and motivated him to keep going before leaving, unaware Thanatos would title the work "Divine Death."

After this, Thanatos would surprisingly talk more to his colleagues and expose facts and feelings on the biomes she's visited to anyone who'll listen. This sunny growth makes the submision of Divine Death to the Akademia gallery, well... When the work is unveiled, gasps of shock and even a scream would be heard. No one painted in such dark earth colors and the form was alien to a landscaping artist. Thanatos just laughed to himself leaving the precinct, satisfied with his last works and preparing for one last travel. Only Emet would get to intercept her on her way out, demanding to know what possessed her. She would answer, "True nature and spark. I'm going to transform into the beauty and breath in synchronicity with the land. This place is too blind to my taste. Forgive me for this, but I will have to leave the Convocation. Please do your best within your coffin." Emet was left too stunned to speak, later concluding he suffered hysteria as an early effect of the Final Days.

With this, she would not be seen again, not by pursue parties or breaks into his studio in search for clues. People would be shocked to find more obscure paintings and visions of mortal suffering and cruelty, the terrifying figure of the first painting enacting punishment on some of the offending subjects. This was when rumors of the final days reached from other lands, and why search parties aimed for him in particular. Some of the paintings were leaked and feeding into the fear of the people and terror a figure like death could really exist, and be condemning them to this suffering for what reason? Was the lost Azem clairvoyant, or had his studio been Pandora's Box of horrors to become reality?

Meanwhile, he would reach a beautiful valley of flowers, the kind with the flora you only see near active volcanoes. He would eat and pace with the animals there, bereft of any contact with Blasphemies. She is too at peace, waiting for Venat to make the needed choice and sunder her into what she wishes. Even if he won't get to see it, so many incredible memories and places will etch into his soul foreve.

"Yes, split me apart and let the pieces join into my idol."

And that was the end of the last Azem. When he died, he knew he left behind a struggler that would avert the catastrophe and live happily, but he knew nothing of the chaos and dread his paintings would arise

How to Use Plants in Interior Design

Everyone knows that humans are enamored with nature. And therefore, several construction and design fundamentals are targeted to connect humans with nature through the use of indoor plants or exotic flora. One of the rarely used concept and a rarely heard term, Biophilia architecture exploits distinct principles to create this unique bond, and one of its focus areas is the "importance of plants in interior design". Plants not only allow occupants to remain in touch with nature but they also add color, life and introduce good vibes.

Introducing Plants in Homes -

One of the basic principles of introducing plants within residential or commercial premises is the placement. Most of the times, the owners simply buy a plant, and dump it in an empty corner. This is absolutely unacceptable. Every plant, flowering and nonflowering has certain demands in terms of sunlight, water intake, soil composition and planter pot dimensions.

How to use Plants in Interior Design -

·    Very few individuals and even those belonging to the interior design industry know that certain plants improve concentration, and thereby help its occupants become efficient. Introducing such plants can make a big difference at workplace and even in homes, especially in children's room. As mentioned earlier, improved focus translates into better performance at school and college.

·     Home and business owners/ designers have to realize that plants are not lifeless pieces of art. These are living and breathing species. Therefore, knowing the amount of sunlight, water, humidity it requires will not only allow it to grow in full glory, it will also live a full life, providing perpetual vibrancy and colorful ambience. For instance, English ivy and Ferns appreciate medium sunlight, although bright light will not dampen its spirits. On the other hand, Philodendrons and Peace Lilies can survive in a comparatively lower light. These plants are most suitable for drawing rooms and passages.

Rejuvenation - The Power of Plants in Interior Design

Yet another fascinating quality of certain plants is to improve the air quality. For example, Money plant and Areca Palm are known for their therapeutic benefits. It improves the air quality and thereby offers relief to asthma patients and those who are sleep deprived. Moreover, flowering plants such as Orchids and Amaryllis create a relaxing atmosphere through its fragrance, and the result; sound sleep, and a feeling of vitality and freshness.

Terrariums & Plant Walls -

Bring Indoor Plants to Your Home in the most creative way!

1.      Glass vivarium or transparent enclosures and complementing plants are a perfect way to bring nature into your habitat, especially in places which are not easily accessible. This includes multi-tiered high racks, recessed housings which are located behind sofas, dining table etc. Glass terrariums not only improve the over aesthetics it also acts as an air filter. These enclosures are best suited for small habitats whether commercial or residential.

 2.      For bigger premises, a complete wall dedicated to plants can instantly create a focal point, and evolve into a soul of that particular section. Create row upon row of indoor plants covering a major part of the wall or simply exploit Vine and Climbers that grabs the far end of the habitat. It is not just a design statement; it also improves vibrancy and the texture of the surrounding. Best interior designers in Mumbai and around India exploit these strategies frequently.

Summary -

Nature and humans are inseparable. Mankind has always been fascinated and infatuated by its mystical aura and it is one of the reasons why human habitats have natural elements embedded in it. Biophilia, a plant interior design name creates a sense of harmony between habitats ( construction / architecture ), its occupants and natural surroundings.  Plants improve aesthetics and health, increase concentration and keep the inhabitants in touch with the environment, at least in a small way. It is also a constant reminder that without nature the world would be a boring place to live in.

her mouth dropped open. “yes, they’re both adorable!” elspeth countered, “but mine has my blood, sweat and tears. it’s my baby!” the nature of her work meant that it was rare that they could admire their handiwork. after all, their art was never truly theirs — they provided a service and, at the end of it, much like graffiti or the beauty of baking, her creations were buried or burned and lost forever. their little terrarium — the bright leaves, the perfectly-patted soil, the arrangement of rocks  —  was a masterpiece in itself, and she already had a perfect position marked out on one of the shelves in their living room. after a moment, she reached out and carefully wiped a smudge of dirt clean from safiye’s cheek. their friendship was true. their friendship was soft and delicate, like an orchid misted only with rainwater. it desired to be taken care of and coddled, to be treated with softness and care. between safiye and elspeth, there seemed to be an unspoken agreement that they would take their time together, that no matter how long they went without a phone call, without a text or a meme on instagram, they were still just as good friends by the end of it. “well, no matter how long you have to fizzle out for, i’m always going to be right here. you can text or call and i’m going to be there.” whether they were building terrariums or just sitting in one of their homes, watching movies and eating takeout, gossiping or enjoying a comfortable silence. she offered a sweet smile, then reached to point at safiye’s work. “i think a little bit of moss in this corner will make it perfect.”

Their playfulness had sent Safiye into a laughing fit, hardly noticing that Elspeth had taken measures of caution to protect her from being more adorned in earthy materials. Although, to be fair, Safiye hadn't been half as meticulous as Elspeth and had gathered dirt along the edges of her nails as she went. She even had a few healthy smears of it along her clothing but she didn't much care; she had dressed with the intention of getting messy with some elbow grease. "I thought you said they're both adorable!" she teased, widening her eyes at her friend as she leaned her shoulder against hers, "If they were, I didn't think you'd mind the trade."

Safiye set her tools down, both because she felt done with her project to the best of her abilities and because she wanted to afford real attention to her friend as she spoke so honestly to her. "I'm the same way," she identified immediately, "I feel like I get into these spurts of being super socially active and then I kind of let it fizzle out, hide away and do my own thing." Feeling content with herself was something she, however, prided herself in. "I'm really glad that you feel that way, and I'm even happier that you made it out here today," she grinned back, hoping it further comforted her friend, "Honestly, there aren't a lot of people I'd trade my solitude for and you're certainly on the list." In a better sense of the word, Safiye was very calculated with a lot of the things in her life. She hated to say she was always intentional because the word had become so overrated now but that's exactly what it was. Planning out details of things, places, even people was her thing.

So today I thought I would do something different than my normal posts that consist of furry reylo porn or yelling at antis to get the fuck out of the tags to show off some of my plants.

Because there are fewer things I love more than reylo or being furry trash and that’s plants.

This is a terrarium I put together about a month ago after finding this wonderful glass jar at an antique market. I think they were asking 15ish bucks for it and the only work I had to do was apply a few coats of polyurethane to the bottom of the lid so moisture wouldn’t fuck up the wood.

They’re incredibly simple to put together. Everything you’d need to make one is generally laying around your house already. The biggest concern is the dirt itself since it could be harboring bacteria or pests that can be a headache at best or completely destroy all your hard work at worst. It’s a good idea to sterilize it but that shit is as simple as putting it into bakeware and cooking it. I use the baking method in an oven but you can also use a microwave so I’ve been told.

Both processes require you add enough water to make sure the materials are damp but not soaking wet since the steaming is a huge part of the sterilization process.

Originally I had some wood features inside the terrarium along with a nice little mushroom shelf for the air plant to sit on but my sterilization process for wood needs some work. The dirt sterilized fine but whatever fungus is in the wood I collected couldn’t be stopped with boiling or baking since a week after installing it they started to grow a fine hairlike fungus that aggressively coated everything it touched. Currently the air plant is just sitting on some rocks I put in there while I troubleshoot that issue.

The elf thyme and strawberry begonia are both plants I have in regular pots up in the attic so I just took cuttings and planted them.

All of my moss is collected locally, some of it from my own yard and I encourage it’s growth anywhere I feel it might flourish. Maybe one day with enough love and care my yard will consist entirely of violets, clover, and thick luxurious moss.

My partner feeds into my plant lust far too often and bought me the jewel orchid as a gift which I am forever grateful for. Photos do not do this plant justice. It almost looks like someone brushed gold sparkle mica powder delicately into the veins and the sunlight makes it glimmer like the skin of a killer Bella.

The long plant that I may or may not have correctly identified as an inch plant/wandering jew was gifted to me as a very small cutting so I had no idea how tall it would get so quickly. Like I said I only put this terrarium together a few weeks ago and the cuttings were level to the dirt layer. It’s probably not going to stay in here as it’s trying desperately to crawl out of the terrarium and honestly would probably look nicer in a hanging pot.

Neat textures on the leaves though.

Now the smaller glass terrarium was put together about a year ago and is very well established. I call it my baby terrarium because it’s filled with babies from some of my other plants.

The air plant in this terrarium is around 5 years old now, so hardly a baby anymore but she’s still a baby to me. That reddish color she’s getting on the tips of her leaves means she’s reaching maturity and will soon flower and make pups of her own. Air plants don’t require pollination to make pups so if your patient enough your air plants will give you babies.

This terrarium is made up of my orchid’s baby that took quite the effort to produce, which is a fun story for another day.

And a baby from one of the air plants.

Originally when I pulled this baby off the momma I paired it with a small chunk of wood I had collected from a morel mushroom hunt that had a neat moss growing on it in a open jar. Besides general maintenance and care I didn’t separate the two from each other for weeks at a time and in good bromeliad fashion the pup grew aerial roots she immediately used to anchor herself to the bark chunk. I cannot separate them without damaging the anchors not that I would ever have a reason to.

The roots on these plants don’t serve a parasitical purpose. They are legit just there to allow them to anchor into the tree crotches (lol crotch) so they don’t get blown to the ground during storms. Most air plants grow on host trees in the wild without the need for dirt. If you ever find yourself in the southern parts of North America/northern parts of South America look for them hanging out on tree branches and you may find a few growing wild in their natural habitats.

It does make the watering process quite comical since I can’t remove the wood and moss bit I have to chuck the whole thing into a jug of water for a few minutes. The moss doesn’t seem to mind.

We do this once a week, with spritzing from a spray bottle in between those waterings. Along with my gentle affirmation that they are both good babies are they’re growing so well.

And that concludes this long post about some of my plants. For now.

Meow if you’ll excuse me I must return to my other passions which is reylo and furry dongs.

Paltry Sunflowers

Summary: Gilbert buys his wife a bouquet, but is suddenly taken with the notion that it is a bit underwhelming.

Rating: K - Intended for general audience 5 years and older. Content should be free of any coarse language, violence, and adult themes.

Words: 1000

Notes: I think I’ve never gotten any flowers. I’m allergic, yes, but my former significant others were annoying like that.

Gilbert had been on his way home when he had noticed the doors of the flower shop thrown open. It was a quaint little corner on his territory, owned by the same family from much before the Visconti Mafia was formed.

The old woman that kept the place would usually smile at him and offer some variety or another to bring his dates. He never ceded to her goading, but he bought her wares every once in a while, for the manor.

She should not be concerned with such a thing anymore. When he had heard the sweet chiming of the little silver bells dangling in the doorway of the shop, when he had caught sight of the baskets of roses and sunflowers and tulips swaying in the soft afternoon breeze, he was taken with a mercurial impulse.

He was not really thinking as he stepped into the store, his eyes sweeping across the small space as the faint strains of a melody he could not quite place floated through the air. There were little flowers in pots shaped like watering cans and little animals, vibrant green succulents in pots the colour of the sky after a storm, and blooming orchids that reached towards the cornflower blue ceiling.

Gilbert hardly noticed them, his gaze brushing past the flowers and viridescent plants, over the racks of colourful seedlings for more flowers than he knew existed and the shelves of little gnomes and ceramic fairies. His gaze flew past it all, instead falling on the vases overflowing with bright, butter-yellow sunflowers, growing healthily on the manicured terrariums. Their petals looked like they had been plucked from sunbeams themselves, like they would be warm and soft to the touch.

The redhead was hardly thinking when he walked into the store. Or rather, he was thinking, but the only thought in his mind was of his wife, of Liliana, who was waiting for him at home. His wife, who was sunshine and joy and everything good wrapped in a beautiful smile and soft hands and his favourite smile.

His wife, who he suddenly really wanted to buy flowers for.

He chose the nicest flowers, the ones he was the most sure that she would find beautiful, had them wrapped in sky-blue tissue paper and tied with a cerulean bow, and then he was on his way out again, the bells seeming to sing as he made his way home.

It was small, simple, but he had wanted to give Liliana something that would make her grin. Something that would make her happy the way she always made him happy. He usually felt elated whenever he could pat himself in the back and entitle himself to be the reason of another day that she had no reason not to smile.

Not this time, though. Gilbert does not understand why, but he had started to feel anxious, and his grip had grown tighter around the bouquet until he had nearly snapped the stems in half.

The poor blooms seem rather pitiful, in fact. He usually brings jewellery, dresses, ribbons or confectionary, or even new records he had sent from Rome. A handful of sunflowers are a bit underwhelming, are they not? Perhaps he should just dump them on the umbrella bin and pretend they never existed.

“Gilbert?”

He paused in the entrance as Liliana poked her head around the corner, her face breaking into a bright smile as she saw him.

“You’re home!” She sang, making her way towards him.

He smiled, unable to stop himself as he looked at his wife, as she chattered about how she had baked batch after batch of cookies for the consolation today, how she wanted him to try them and tell her what he thought. His heart felt full listening to her talk, hearing her tell him about the little things that had happened while he had been out. He felt like sunshine was spilling into his soul, like he was filled with starlight and joy.

Just getting to stand here with her made him happier than he could imagine.

“Lili?” He interrupted her.

The woman paused, blinking.

“Yes?” She asked, rocking back on her heels, clasping her hands together.

Gilbert held the flowers out towards her, warmth rushing through him as her eyes widened and her cheeks turned a soft, rosy pink.

“I got these for you.” He offered, unusually bashful.

Liliana took the bouquet, cradling it in her arms like a new-born.

“For me?” She asked, her voice quiet.

He chuckled, wanting to wrap her in an embrace, to never let her go. “Yes, for you.”

The blond donna stared down at them for a moment, quiet, and he felt inadequacy surge on his throat, almost raising his hands to take them off her and have Oliver run to the bakery and buy every sweet he could get his hands on. Then, a smile broke across her face, bright as the sun at dawn.

“I love them!” She gushed, clutching them against her chest. “Gill, they’re beautiful!”

“I’m glad.” He responded, warmth and sunshine swelling in his heart.

Liliana set the flowers to the side, leaning them up against the wall, then quickly closed the distance between them, wrapping her arms around his neck and showering his face in kisses.

Gilbert laughed, holding her tight as she continued kissing him.

“What’s all this for?” He asked, feeling more than a little breathless.

She paused, pulling away just enough to meet his gaze. She was smiling, and it was beautiful and bright. 

“Because I love you!” She sang. “Because I have the most wonderful husband in the world!”

Gilbert’s breath rushed from his lungs, and for a moment he could not breathe properly. Then, in a flash, he was leaning down, pressing his lips against hers, embracing her as tightly as he could.

Because he loved her so very much. Because he had the most wonderful wife in the world, and he could not ask for anything else.
