#nnt gloxinia

[hopefully-helpful-daemon]

Another one of my headcanons and world building about the Fairy kings is the idea that the thing that sustained the forest looked different for each of them. as in, the Fountain of Youth wasn't always a fountain.

For Gloxinia it was the Tree of Life. The bark, when dried and either used in tea or eaten, would cure any disease. the sap when drank could heal even the most deadly of wounds.

For Dahlia it was the Fruit of Longevity. vaguely round and slightly long and a shifting array of color that would confuse most that looked at it.

The shape changes with the kings and what it is next depends on what type of Fairy the next king is.

[maslosstuff]

Changing gloxinia backstory canon he had an evil side before becoming one of the commandments, So gloxinia was supposed to be king but it was given to his sister instead of him since he acted too childish and was cursed to never grow up physically even by fairy terms meaning he stuck with baby wings (he’s a late bloomer like Elaine and King) this angers him every day but when he learns about a way to gain full wings he turns to the demon clan.

Turning to the demon clan changed his philosophy not only his eyes but his whole body as a result.

Happy Birthday Gloxinia!

Since I'm an idiot who didn't know this until like 2 days ago, I don't have drawing prepared... So I'll go head with a long over-do analysis!

I've already spoken about his wings here and here so This will be a flower symbolism analysis.

Most of the Fairies I'd actually analyze seem to have 2 flower/plant symbols; one visual and one scent. But Gloxinia also have his name, making 3.

So we'll start there with

Name

Gloxinia is actually a genus of flower, rather that one species the wiki offers this image for the genus

Naming this flower "florist's gloxinia" though it's actually called "Sinningia speciosa" sometimes called "Brazilian Gloxinia". It's not even in the Gloxinia genus, though it was originally ins 1817[1]

"Incarvillea delavayi" is named "Hardy Gloxinia" or "Flowering Fern" but it's actually neither a gloxinia nor a fern...

Despite all this confusion, when you simply google "gloxinia" or "gloxinia flower" you get Sinningia speciosa so that's what I'll using since I'm comfortably confident nakaba doesn't research this crap as excessively as I do...

Now, one of my main sites for flower meanings atozflowers.com doesn't have any kind of gloxinia on it anywhere... very weird. But my other one allflorists.co.uk does! According to them gloxinia means "Love and first sight". According to daleharvey.com it also mean "a proud spirit".

"Gloxinia perennis" the one shown above that's actually in the gloxinia genus is sometimes called "Canterbury Bells" which allflosits.oc.uk says means "gratitude". However, Canterbury Bells is actually a different plant entirely...

Moving on.

Visual

Gloxinia's visual element is kinda subtle, I actually didn't know about myself till @cupidthewriter pointed it out to me. He wears a silver bracelet or cuff on his left wrist which appears to be a rose.

The short answer for rose symbolism is "love", though it can be specified by color. However silver is not a real rose color so...

Some of the colors who align with the gloxinia flower symbolism though, with some meaning "gratitude" and "love at first sight"(pink and purple here, and thornless and Bouquet Mature Blooms here). So the rose aspect seems to be a little redundant.

Scent

The wiki cites chapter 152 for the information that Gloxinia smells like ginger.

This...wound up actually being kinda difficult to work with.

The root itself, which I imagine is what's meant here, has all sorts of symbols and meanings and religious significance that I couldn't quite pin down a straight answer. Some that I ran into include "transformation and renewal, protection and purification, vitality and energy"[3]

The flowers of the ginger plant are a little more straight forward with greg.app saying "prosperity and health" and "innovation and adaptability".

According to flowerleis.com leis made from white ginger flowers symbolizes "love and affection" white a red one means "passion, tolerance and wealth".

Conclusion

So in general is seems like Gloxinia's symbolism is anything but straight forward, which seems to suit him well. Though the symbols themselves aren't really shown much in the little we see of him in 7DS.

His symbols, for all I was able to find, seem to revolve around love more than anything else. Gloxinia isn't shown to feel any sort of romantic way about anyone, but he certainly loves his sister very much, and seems to be a "ride or die" kind of friend. So I guess he's a fair icon for platonic love within 7DS, which we don't have as much of, so that's cool.

Art of the baby and his dad. I repeat. Art of the baby and his dad.

Here is the writing that goes with it: Reunited

This is baby Briar! he has been through a 3000 year nap just in time to see his daddy again. Pls be nice. He is 3.

Itty baby 😭😭😭😭 the flower in his hair is a poppy. The flowers on his pants are roses. There are also vines and thorns there.

Happy birthday for this little and cute fairy called Gerheade. Today is your special day and I hope you can enjoy it with Gloxinia and Rou.

[cupidthewriter]

*looks up from typing* Well no one ELSE is going to write and explain the political logistics of the fairy king marrying a human and producing the first hybrid in written history, are they??

(I have no life :P)

girls will see a minor character that has very little do in the grand scheme of things and go "i will make you my special beloved" and place them in fanfics by the scruff of their neck

[romanxoxo]

gloxinia dump

[librathefangirl]

hello parallel 👀

[overlyimmersed]

So...yknow how when Fairies are born from the same plant that makes them siblings?

Does that make Gerheade Harlequin's sister?

And does that mean all the Fairy Kings are brothers, too?

[cupidthewriter]

i like that we've all decided his hair is perfect because he takes care of it and not just bc its anime his hairstyle on grand cross is called "well brushed pink hair" ok babe yknow what you do a good job

gloxinia headcanons (general)

gloxinia x gn!reader

⭒ gloxinia definitely dotes on his significant other; always taking care of them and making sure all their wants and needs are taken care of.

⭒ constantly spoiling them. gloxinia loves giving his lover gifts, flowers, affection, ect. this would be a love language for him, especially the flowers. glox would give flowers to his beloved everyday, as soon as he sees one that he thinks his lover would like, he snatches it up to give to them.

⭒ speaking of affection, the fairy king adores affection, giving and receiving. mixed feelings about pda, definitely tones it down compared to in private but will still give a quick yet loving kiss on the cheek, a hug or put his arm around his partner’s waist.

⭒ lovessssss self-care, and absolutely loves doing self care with his significant other. bubble baths, face masks, hair treatments, you name it, he loves it.

⭒ big on keeping himself groomed, hair, wings, everything. it’s no wonder his hair and wings are perfect and this man has no problem making sure his lover is well groomed themselves, only if they’re okay with it of course. he will help keep their wings looking beautiful (if they are a fairy) as well as help wash and brush their hair whenever they want.

⭒ continuing on with the hair, one of the king’s favourite thing to do is do his significant others hair. he will always be doing new styles on his lover’s hair, as well as his personal favourite ones. he himself was kinda funny about having his haired touched at first since he needs it to be perfect at all times and cares for it so much, however, after that first time he felt his partner run their hands through his hair he became obsessed.

⭒ as fairy king, gloxinia has a lot of duties which can sometimes lead to him not seeing his beloved all day since he is so busy. of course, any chance he gets, he slips away to check up on them, give them a chaste kiss and remind them he loves them but unfortunately there’s occasions where he doesn’t get that chance. he definitely makes up for it though when he’s finished his duties for the day, giving his love whatever they desire.

⭒ glox would take his partner on cute but simple dates like berry picking, or having a relaxing stroll through the fairy king’s forest, or even just staying at home and cuddling all day.

⭒ I mentioned affection before but cuddling is definitely this mans favourite form. he could do it alllllll day. he would even skip one or two of his duties to cuddle with his beloved a little longer, this is what he lives for.

⭒ gloxinia would overall be the most amazing lover. he would be kind, caring and generous and he would love his partner until the end of time.

To whoever asked for Sage in a sexy outfit, I hope this meets your expectations! 🌺

Gloxinia is very happy 💞

[bunji-enthusiast]

Hiiii I'd like to ask for any type of HC's or short oneshot for fairy reader (I don't mind the gender being neutral but I'd rather AFAB, if that's fine(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)), and they're like a weak flyer and we're born with bad and weak wings.

This for Gloxinia and Drole, separately (and maybe some HCs of them together, but this one can be either platonic/romantic, it's not like clear on on it being a poly relationship, if that makes sense??

+ Gerheade and Diane too if that's fine, separately.

Sorry if this is a lot, thank you<33

Oh and I don't mind if this is before holy war or after revival of commandments :)))

♫ 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊

Sypnosis [Drole, Gloxinia, Gerheade and Diane with Fairy!Reader who has bad/weak wings.]

WC [?]

Note || I’ve decided to set this after revival! :), reader is also described with different personalities for each character.

Gloxinia + Drove (some are separate, some are paired)

Gloxinia can understand in the sense of helplessness of being unable to fly properly, it was in due part to having been born with the condition that impaired your ability to fly, since having such bad and weak wings since birth. He knows it and tries his best to reassure you whenever you are feeling bad about it or having bad days, but he never directs the subject of attention to the matter. He prefers looking at you directly, not your wings.

Gloxinia had offhandedly asked you about the matter on your weak wings, to which you had told him in great value how you had felt and the way you were treated by others for being incapable of the abundant manner of flight. Since he had been offered such invaluable insight on the subject, he had then made the decision to find ways that could support your wings so you could gain flight, even if it was the smallest hopeless thing.

Gloxinia offers his 'Basquias' as a form of transportation should he sense that you are truly struggling to getting from one point to another, having also point out to you that it doesn't kill to ask for help, even despite your personality of stubbornness. Should you accept his help, he readily helps you over. However if you do decline, he will respect that as well. He simply just wants you aware that he will always help you should you want it, though Gloxinia can be albeit impatient and decide to assist you anyway in certain situations.

Drole will offer ways of assistance to helping you should you find yourself stuck in difficult spots in certain situations, but he however has the most infinite amount of patience should you decline his help. Though he seldom understood what it was like to have such bad wings, he sought out some sort of wisdom from Gloxinia, whom told him to just let you work it out yourself. As the giant has come to learn that you were more then not; stubborn.

Drole irregardless speaks of you very highly whenever someone brings you up in conversation, though if they do happen to mention the trouble involving your weak wings, he is rather quick to defend you: more often then not he proves to have a sharp tongue. So he shuts them down quickly if they happen to be rude about you in that aspect, Drole doesn't tolerate disrespect.

Drole had often wondered about how the matter of your weak wings came to be, as you had never spoken on the details of your circumstance to him in particular. But he reels in his curiosity, Drole understands the preference of not wanting to speak about certain things, especially if it involves out of commission appendages.

Gloxinia + Drole, both are particularly easy on you in different ways, as they will be quick to shield you should you find yourself engaged in combat. They are well aware of your capabilities as a fighter, but they had also prefer to cover you as they are weary on the possibilities of you getting injured.

Gloxinia + Drole prefer moments of quiet and peace, and often on the suggestion of going out on walks, simply enjoying the presence of each other and the sights of Mother Nature. You can always hear Gloxinia audibly groan when you two hear Drole begin one of his rants of one his many stories of what he had experienced three-thousand years ago. On rare occasions however, it may be Gloxinia recounting his own experiences from the time of when he was truly committed to his duties as the first fairy king.

Gerheade has a complete sense of understanding given your plight with your lack of ability being able to fly properly, even despite improper means of flight. But she will suggest any means of flight that will help you get around more freely, but should you prefer just wanting to feel the freedom of the sky and just feeling the breeze, she understands that too, instead searching for more methods that will help you in such a way.

Gerheade does try her best to better understand how differently your wings work compared to the average fairy, but based on her understanding and collective info she's gathered from you, she had come to understand that you had been borne with terrible and weak muscles in the wings. To which you had did you best to make up for in other areas.

Gerheade, to her, having come to know you was such a wonderful thing if she was being honest. To experiencing things with you, gave her a new perspective on those whom were physically or invisibly disabled. She definitely had become better for it, and in earnest became wiser about it toward herself.

Diane at first was admittedly confused as to why you couldn't fly very well, or not much at all. But when you had elaborated, she apologized for her lack of ignorance, but you had reassure her it was fine. As it was a large rarity for someone like you to exist, especially for a fairy.

Diane had asked more about it, but as it stood you had only known being this way since the day of your birth. But she had easily amended the atmosphere of the situation by being hopeful about it, and had also informed you that you were always welcome to ask for her help should you need it. You'r a very dear one to her after all.

So You Think You Can Run?

Pairing: Gloxinia x Fem!Reader

Fandom: Nanatsu No Taizai (The Seven Deadly Sins)

Content Warnings: Primal play, CNC, degradation.

Kisses with Gloxinia always start so soft. His smooth, unchapped lips press against yours ever so tenderly. Gentle praise and declarations of love flow from his mouth like he worships you. And you suppose he does. His hands find your erogenous zones and apply just the right amount of pressure to turn you on.

But it always intensifies. Grows into something more intense. Something primal. And this time is no different. So when Gloxinia pulls back from the kiss and tells you to run, you don't hesitate. You bolt.

Even though it's not the fairy king's forest you know you don't stand a chance. You both play hide and seek together in different forests quite often. And he always finds you so swiftly you wonder if he cheats at the game. You know he doesn't though. Because you've established no real rules to be broken.

You run as fast as you can, looking for somewhere to hide. Anywhere. You spot a large pile of leaves. It's a strange find. You were expecting to find something like a hollowed out tree trunk. But this will do, you suppose.

You dig a hole in the pile then fill it in on top of you. You're quickly covered in leaves. You try to calm your racing heart and slow your breathing. You're out of breath from the run. You try to stay quiet.

Perhaps there's a better spot to hide, but you wouldn't know. You wish you had time to scope out the place. Now that the adrenaline has worn off slightly you hope there's no snakes or something in this pile of leaves. You know that it's statistically likely that there's at least a spider. You just hope you don't see it. It's not that you don't like them, you just don't like to be surprised by them.

You scream as something wraps around your wrist. You're unceremoniously yanked into the air. Leaves fall off you. You're face to face with Gloxinia, a predatory glint in his eyes.

How did he find you so fast? Regardless of how, he did. And he has that look. Like he's going to take you right here and now. And you know he will. He always does. You squirm.

“Let me go!” You say it for your own enjoyment. Some sick part of you deeply enjoys struggling. Just to be fucked into your place.

“I don't think I will,” replies Gloxinia simply. He's undressing you now. Your clothes fall to the ground. The first time Gloxinia had made love to you you had been scared. Being in the air meant you could fall. But now you trusted him. Enough to pretend to fight back too. He wouldn't ever drop you.

His clothes join yours in little piles on the ground. To be fair, he only wore pants usually. He shoves into you in one movement. It would hurt if he hadn't been so thorough in arousing you earlier. You moan.

“Does the pretty slut like that?” He coos.

You can't help moaning again as he begins to thrust into you. His cock hits all the good spots. You clench as he makes you see stars.

“I think she does. After all, she's practically milking my cock. Such a good whore.”

His words go straight to your cunt. You feel something building. You know you're going to orgasm, as the knot in your stomach tightens. Everything feels so good. He smirks, lips pressing against yours.

Your orgasm hits hard. You see white and go completely boneless in his arms. You barely process the warmth of his cum filling your cunt. He stays locked inside of you for a while.

When he finally pulls out he has that soft expression again.

“You did so good for me. So perfect.” His voice is gentle and soft. He slowly flies to the ground. He picks up all the clothes, still holding you. He then goes into aftercare mode.

As he kisses your face and frets over you, you smile. You wouldn't have life any other way.
