#mariposa flowers

[prefixsstars]

“My heart is like an open door.”

The field of marigolds that surrounded Akito and Tsukasa glowed in the warm evening sun. A red and white plaid blanket splayed out underneath them.

Tsukasa was weaving through the final flower needed for Akito’s crown, while Tsukasa’s own could be seen sitting gently on his head. Akito thought he looked ethereal with the setting sun making his golden hair form somewhat of a halo.

Akito adores Tsukasa so much it makes his heart ache.

As Tsukasa puts the finished crown atop his head and smiles, Akito wishes he could see him be happy forever. Akito can’t help the soft smile that stretches across his lips as Tsukasa rambles on about how pretty he looks.

He suddenly stops and flushes such a pretty shade of red that makes Akito act on his urge to kiss him ever since they first arrived at the field.

As Akito pulls away from the kiss he lets out a small laugh as Tsukasa pulls him in for another one. With the field of marigolds all around and Tsukasa kissing him he can’t help but feel like this is where he‘s meant to be for the rest of his life.

Marigolds represent power, strength, and light that lives inside of a person. The marigold is very often associated with the sun.

На территории мексиканских штатов Мичоакан и Мехико расположен Биосферный заповедник Марипоса-Монарка, который известен тем, что в нём зимуют бабочки вида Данаида монарх, считающиеся одним из красивейших насекомых планеты. Находящийся на высоте около 3 тыс м ��природоохранный комплекс был создан в 1980-м году указом президента Мексики Хосе Лопеса Портильо специально для сохранения Danaus plexippus и с конца октября по март здесь дожидаются тепла и размножаются от 60 млн до миллиарда этих насекомых. Монархи — единственные из бабочек, которые каждый год совершают длительные перелёты с севера на юг и в обратном направлении, но ни одна из бабочек не преодолевает весь путь целиком — продолжительность жизни насекомых составляет от двух до семи месяцев, так что с севера на юг летит одно поколение, а в другую сторону — уже следующее.

Лучшее время для посещения Биосферного заповедника бабочки монарх – с конца января до середины марта, т.к. до середины января из-за низких температур бабочки почти все время находятся в полу спящем состоянии, укутывая красочным ковром деревья и кустарник. 

The Mariposa Monarch Biosphere Reserve is located on the territory of the Mexican states of Michoacan and Mexico City, which is known for the fact that butterflies of the species Danaida Monarch, considered one of the most beautiful insects of the planet, winter there. Located at an altitude of about 3 thousand meters, the nature conservation complex was created in 1980 by decree of Mexican President Jose Lopez Portillo specifically to preserve Danaus plexippus and from the end of October to March, 60 million to a billion of these insects wait for warmth and reproduce here. Monarchs are the only butterflies that make long flights from north to south and in the opposite direction every year, but none of the butterflies cover the entire path entirely — the lifespan of insects is from two to seven months, so one generation flies from north to south, and the next one flies the other way.

The best time to visit the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is from the end of January to mid–March, because until mid-January, due to low temperatures, butterflies are almost always in a semi-dormant state, wrapping trees and shrubs with a colorful carpet.

THIS LIL THING IS ABT SIR MARIPOSA BC UH UH I WANTED TO SO ENJOY <3

All my life i've wonderd what it's like to have a friend. I don't necessarily like othe people but when I look at how happy everyone is I feel a hurtful pang in my chest. Why..why can't I have friends...why can't I be happy..?

I met someone

They are a fellow hero who call themselves "Catalyst" they thought my akuma was evil and tried to kill it. They would've been successful if it wasn't for their partner, Scarlett Beatle. They offerd for us to work together as a team since "we're all heros! So why work separately if were fighting the same fight?"

Maybe...maybe this was it, this was my escape from loneliness...

"...sure why not, sounds like fun."
