Kyra’s Broomquet!

Bouquet… whtver!!!! For the broomquet thing!!!

(Yeah I had to filter the colors to make it look not awkward HWHAHAHA)

^^ This looks like a reaction meme LMFAOOOO

I think I added way too many flowers but its ok guys trustme… 💗 (also i think i used the non fully bloomed begonias by accident oops)

I dont think this is a realistic bouquet at all but its okay because !!!!! Symbolism !!!! Yayayayya!!!!!!!!!!

ALOT of rambling utc!!

First— I’d like to mention that some of these flowers are actually poisonous so erm idk how that would work out LMFAOO😭😭 Take it as symbolism of how many are attracted to Kyra due to her beauty, but stay away once realizing her true nature … or something like that!!!!!

Camellia (Japonica)

Camellias have always been Kyra’s flower! Its the one I associate her with the most, and to me is just iconic for her! I have an entire post in my drafts talking about Kyra’s other symbolisms, but I might as well just copy paste the Camellia section here lol

Camellias in general symbolize a spirit of depth, self-reflection and inner strength, love, loyalty and humility.

Camellia japonica, a shrub or small tree species that is native to southern Japan and China. Known as tsubaki in Japan,this species is iconic for its beautiful white, pink, or red flowers that appear from late winter to early spring as well as its thick, glossy, and evergreen leaves.

The camellia has come to symbolize grace, beauty, sophistication, and perseverance - all traits that make it so beloved today.

The camellia has long been a symbol of beauty, grace and perseverance in Japanese culture. Its deep crimson petals evoke the vividness of a fiery sun while its delicate bloom serves to represent the infinite nature of life itself. It has become the embodiment of courage, resilience and strength owing to its fantastic ability to survive and thrive in even the harshest conditions.

It is believed that those who wear or carry a camellia can show their boldness in facing adversity with integrity and grace; thus, this timeless flower carries with it monumental symbolism.

The camellia is intricately intertwined with the cultural and spiritual life of Japan. In various art forms, they signify appreciation and admiration. The flower represents a spirit of depth, self-reflection and inner strength - qualities that are highly esteemed in Japanese culture. They also symbolize love, loyalty and humility - perfect to express gratitude towards family and friends.

Kyra herself is honestly my most perseverant character! Shes stubborn and driven, and won't back down regardless of how hopeless a situation seems.

No matter how much she falls down, she'll keep getting right back up again, more determined than before to keep living.

With the Camellia's notable ties with Beauty, loyalty, grace, self-reflection and inner strength; it makes the Camellia a beautiful way to represent Kyra. It reflects her current character and character development

In China, camellia has been cultivated for thousands of years and is a symbol of love and devotion. It is often used in Chinese art, literature, and poetry to represent beauty, purity, and faithfulness. For people in China, the camellia is more than just a flower; it's a sign of a long past. The camellia has a place in Chinese art, literature, and tradition because it is thought to bring good luck and beauty.

The Chinese believe that the camellia will last forever, so it is often used as a symbol in ceremonies and parties. People see the flower's ability to survive under challenging conditions as a metaphor for life's problems and the strength needed to deal with them.

In Japan, the camellia is also a symbol of love and is associated with the samurai tradition. The flower is often worn as a hair ornament by Japanese women and is used in traditional tea ceremonies.

The samurai looked up to the camellia as a sign of bravery and morality. The flower's ability to stay beautiful even when things go wrong was like the samurai's dedication to duty and honor.

During the Victorian era in Europe, the camellia flower became a popular symbol of wealth and luxury.

White camellia flowers are less common but are highly prized for their purity and innocence. In some cultures, white camellia flowers are associated with death and are often used in funeral arrangements.

With NRC's whole theme with death— this extra little fact is just a little nod to that theme hehe. It also represents Kyra's own "innocence" and naivety when it comes to regular society. After all, Kyra's first time ever leaving her palace was because she was sent to NRC fe. Through that "death", she gained freedom and a new beginning.

Pink camellias show love, appreciation, happiness, and thanks. These flowers are a lovely way to show someone you admire them or are thankful for them because the soft color of pink makes people feel loved and appreciated.

Pink camellias are often seen as signs of love and respect in the language of flowers. In some countries, friends trade them with each other or give them thanks. Aside from their beauty, pink camellias are known for their gracefulness and ability to show love without being too intense.

Kyra is very thankful and values the friends and people closes to her. She loves so much and so deeply, and holds everyone that accepts her despite her being a handful, very dearly! She isnt shy to show her affection at all, and makes sure her friends know that they're all loved, even if she doesn't say it outright.

Pink Camellias can also symbolize longing! I view it as a symbol of how Kyra had always longed for more, yearning for a life that feels like hers. She longs for freedom, and has spent her entire life with this feeling of yearning.

Camellias can also, ironically enough, symbolize perfection. Something Kyra had forced herself to be for the sake of her family, in hopes that if she was, she could be loved, too.

Amaryllis

Amaryllis symbolizes pride, strength and determination as they stand tall above all other winter blooms. Amaryllis is also a Greek name which means 'to sparkle', ‘sparkle’, ‘shine’.

Funnily enough, Kyra’s name also has Greek origins! And while they do differ in meaning when it comes to their shared origin language, Kyra’s name also means ‘sparkle’ and ‘shine’ in Japanese!

The flower itself symbolizes the idea that beauty can bloom from pain, and it often serves as a metaphor for inner strength and resilience.

The amaryllis is frequently associated with strength and determination, largely because it can bloom in the colder months when many other plants are dormant. Its tall, strong stems and large flowers make it a symbol of overcoming obstacles and standing tall in the face of adversity. In this context, it is often given to individuals who are facing challenges to symbolize perseverance and inner strength.

In the Victorian era, the language of flowers (known as floriography), was a popular means of communication, where different flowers conveyed specific messages. In floriography, the amaryllis stands for pride, beauty, and strength, aligning with its mythological and cultural symbolism.

When given as a gift, an amaryllis flower might convey the message that the recipient is admired for their inner beauty and strength. It celebrates an individual's unique qualities, making it appropriate for someone who exudes confidence, grace, and resilience.

Gardenia (Peonies)

I love you secretly, unspoken words

Because of their clean white petals, gardenias symbolize purity, refinement, innocence, harmony, and gentleness.

One of their lesser-known meanings is that of a secret or unknown love. Gardenias are a thoughtful way to express that you care about someone, even if it hasn't yet been expressed verbally.

Hibiscus

represents transient beauty and the importance of living in the moment. The hibiscus flower blooms for a short time, often just one day, reminding us of the impermanence of life and the need to cherish every moment.

In Victorian times, giving a hibiscus meant that the giver was acknowledging the receiver’s delicate beauty.

the hibiscus is linked to grace, femininity, and delicacy. It is often associated with romantic appeal, particularly in cultures where the flower is worn as a symbol of attraction or love. The Hibiscus encourages mindfulness and appreciation for the present, with the end goal of reminding people of the transitory beauty of nature and time.

Mountain Laurel

Perserverance and achievement

The mountain laurel is also associated with ambition. The Greeks would present a wreath of laurel to poets, athletes, and war heroes as a mark of great achievement.

the mountain laurel was chosen as the state flower of Pennsylvania due to its unique beauty and profusion. This plant, which is native to Pennsylvania, thrives in the state's mountains and forests, showcasing the incredible natural resources of the region. Its adaptability to a variety of environments symbolizes the tenacity and resolve of the neighborhood.

I also mainly chose it due to its unique appearance, and Kyra loved unique looking stuff hehe

Dahlias (Pink Silk)

The dahlia is Mexico's national flower, and it represents pride, inner strength, elegance, kindness, uniqueness, embracing positive change, beauty, and creativity.

Spiritually, the name represents inner strength, positive change, and commitment. The name elegantly symbolized beauty, freedom, and love.

dahlia flowers symbolize beauty, commitment, and kindness. They're also tied to steadfastness due to their ability to bloom after many other flowers have died.

Delphinums

The meaning of delphiniums is generally accepted as 'big hearted'. White and pink represent new life and the power of youth.

Delphinium meanings include openness to new experiences and overall positivity. Delphiniums symbolize cheerfulness and goodwill, as well as a protective plant. Delphiniums are used to communicate encouragement and joy, as well as remembering loved ones who have passed.

Skeleton Flower

The flower's change from opaque to clear symbolizes shedding past identities and revealing one's true self.

The Skeleton Flower, known for its delicate beauty, has inspired numerous stories and myths across various cultures. Often viewed as a symbol of resilience, it represents the beauty that can emerge from adversity. In art and literature, the Skeleton Flower frequently appears as a motif of purity and transformation.

The skeleton flower holds a notable place in Asian history and culture. Celebrated for not only their beauty but especially for their unique transformation, they often symbolize the balance between life and death.

the Skeleton Flower also serves as a powerful symbol of resilience and personal growth.

The flower’s captivating appearance and remarkable adaptation serve as a reminder that beauty and resilience can coexist, even in the most unexpected of circumstances.

Begonias

Hope of life. It's the reminder that no matter how bad something is, no matter how sad it is, life is always right there, renewing itself along with you. It's a reminder that there's always an opportunity to start over. Individuality and standing out from the crowd

Despite a historical association with warning, begonias symbolize gratitude, respect, understanding, and forgiveness.

Traditionally, this flower is as a symbol of warning. It is a way to tell someone that they needed to watch their backs. The begonia wasn’t necessarily a threat, but instead a gesture that things aren’t always as they seem.

A begonia can mean understanding, and even forgiveness.

Habenaria Radiata (White Egres Orchid)

represents purity, grace of the soul, and good intentions.

looks like a dove teehee

“My thoughts will follow you into your dreams.”

In Japan, the 'White Egret' Orchid (Habenaria radiata) is admired not only for its beauty but also for its symbolism of grace, purity, and the return of summer.

the egret symbolism too focuses on being at peace with oneself and the world, being in a state of balance and calmness throughout.

Lily Of The Valley

Funfact! Since Kyra’s birth month is May, the Lily Of The Valley is her birth flower!!

Lilies of the valley symbolize rebirth, purity, youth, and happiness.

The lily of the valley means return of happiness in the Victorian language of flowers.

Chinese Peony

Peony petals are edible. Yeah. I just thought it’d be funny to include an edible plant in Kyra’s bouquet. Is that not hilarious

In China and Japan, peonies mean 'king of flowers', and are used in important holidays like Chinese New Year. They are also known to symbolise wealth, because for a really long time only Chinese emperors used peonies. But really I just thought they were pretty HEHEHEHE

This is the ONLY flower I chose because it was pretty PLS ….. Kyra would hate me for this I fear HELP (in my defense it looks like her ..)

Lilium Casa Blanca

The Lilium Casa Blanca symbolizes celebration. It also symbolizes eternal beauty and elegance.

Beyond purity, white lilies also represent hope, remembrance, and the promise of a fresh start.

Pink and White lillies symbolize compassion and admiration.

Nelumbo Nucifera

The lotus flower symbolizes rising from a dark place into beauty and rebirth, as this is precisely how a lotus flower grows.

It symbolizes the realization of inner potential.

In the classical written and oral literature of many Asian cultures the lotus is present in figurative form, representing elegance, beauty, perfection, purity and grace, being often used in poems and songs as an allegory for ideal feminine attributes.

All symbolism associated with the lotus seems to be positive and in the vein of being a good person and finding meaning in life.

[obsessive-evie]

Kate fluff headcanons?

your wish is my command 2.0 (most of these live in my mind rent free 24/7)

literally amazing with kids, good balance between fun and kooky aunt but responsible and great at mediating. Like if you like kids you two would tear UP one of her family functions with the whole extended family and all her little cousins and nephew

gets quiet when anxious? Idk she’s definitely more extroverted but I feel like my girl gets anxious in new groups and gets pretty quiet, but would find comfort in little physical touches between you two (holding pinkies, you touching her hair or shoulders, hooking your ankles together under the table, etc.)

Drinks beer unironically 🤷‍♀️👎

We all know she loves hot sauce so I feel like she would love all kinds of cuisine and spicy food?? Like especially if you’re poc or just not American she would make an effort to try new dishes and learn to cook them for you

like I’ve said she can nap HARD, like she counts naps as dates and quality time, but runs at 10000 degrees and will get sad if you move away because you are literally sweating your balls off

likes having you on her lap in more than just a sexual way, just bc she likes seeing you and having her hands on your thighs and hips (also applies to the anxiety in crowds of parties, she can just hide behind you, your weight grounds her, she can just focus on you and your smell)

likes having her hair done bc she never rlly knows what to do with it and you make her feel pretty and hype her up a ton when you do it for her

like my mini fic loves country music, so will get sappy at certain songs and 100% reserve multiple songs for you/ you two as a couple

✧.* age regressor! diluc hcs 🦉

diluc regresses to 0-2 yrs old !

mostly communicates through babbles or short sentences/words.

when diluc's regressed, he acts pretty distant at first, but once he gets more comfortable, he becomes super clingy.

deffo loves to have his grape juice in a sippy cup !!

his favorite activity to do when he's little is to draw/colour, especially birds!

he absolutely will infodump about the different types of birds in a rapidly spoken way followed by him excitedly showing off all the bird drawings he made.

he even has a main favorite owl plushie that stays beside him whenever he does anything.

definitely not a morning little one - he acts pretty cranky in the mornings and always wants to sleep in some more before he gives in and reluctantly gets up. (though he still ends up acting pouty throughout the whole morning.)

warm bubble baths are his go-to whenever he wants to feel relaxed.

jean is his cg! <3

she uses nicknames like little bird, sunshine, little firefly and sweetheart on him, while in return, diluc calls her mama.

diluc and kaeya sometimes have playdates together when they're regressed, and they still fuss over things when little, but luckily jean always manages to sort things out for them.

loves to and has a habit of chewing or biting things.

he'll chew on his fingers, his shirt, his hair, literally anything but his teether or pacifier.

he only ever uses his pacifier when he's about to go to sleep.

Hey stranger! i saw you were accepting headcanons. thoughts on zoe x polly.

(ngl this headcanon started for me because me and my gf have matching lesbian polly and zoe pfps but i think it is pretty cool on its own)

Woah I've never considered this ship before but I can already see theyd be soo cute

Headcanons

Polly calls her "Zee" (she gives her this nickname in the IDENTITY ending and I think Zoe goes nuts over her first true nickname)

Zoe rambles on for hours about different headcanons for fandoms Polly doesn't necessarily understand but she loves to listen to her speak

Zoe's undying energy and newfound love of life is never wasted when she's with Polly, they're both the type to go on wacky adventures for dates and not get sick of each other

They would be so sickeningly sweet, matching outfits type of couple, screaming to various pop songs together, pda, all that jazz

no doubt Zoe joins the prank masters officially, (in canon Zoe loves pulling pranks and I can only assume what they would get up to together; Polly is good at hyping her up for a good prank) Scott of course is just happy that they have more friends in their club

Zoe actually likes the taste of Polly’s toilet wine, it’s weird maybe the eons of consuming the sanity of mortals ruins your palette indefinitely but at least Polly’s happy

Zoe can go a bit overboard with fandom stuff but Polly helps her understand boundaries, like what questions are appropriate to ask and whatnot

They definitely go to art events together (like couple’s pottery, and painting classes) they go silly with it and would get kicked out a lot, and polly gets drunk off the wine samples that are usually served

Going on the roadtrip together they would spend an indefinite amount of time on the road, having to stop everywhere they possibly can (they probably run out of money quick together, neither really paying attention to its depletion lol)

date nights are either crazy outings that last hours or “chill” movie nights where Zoe catches Polly up on all the shows she’s into (all while discussing her various ships) theres no in between with these two.

I would love hear about 11, 14, n 15 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️💜💜

OMG HI ILY ❤️❤️❤️

11. Who's adorable when they're sleepy, and who gets grumpy and irritable?

Luna goes into full creature mode. Think a bear coming out of hibernation: disoriented, drowsy, kinda cracked out. She needs at least ten hours of sleep to function properly and is an extremely heavy sleeper. She's not mean when she's tired, but she does unintentionally give everyone a death stare, and the only language she is capable of articulating is groans. Luke, on the other hand, is so cute when he's sleepy--he gets all cuddly and has the most adorable little yawns! It's almost like he's a little drunk because practically everything will make him giggle. Because he's so cute, he is the only person capable of safely approaching The Beast (Luna).

14. Where would they go on a 3am adventure?

If they're at a base in a wild, relatively untouched area, they're gonna sneak out at night to wander around in nature. They love looking around for all the little creatures that are out at night, and Luke thinks it's adorable how good Luna is at identifying them. Unlike her, Luke doesn't really know much about animals, so he always wants to try and pet them--pro tip, don't try to hug a gundark. Stargazing is their other go-to when they're hanging outside together; Luke is very good at recognizing the locations of stars and identifying what systems are where, and Luna thinks it's so precious how his eyes light up like a kid on Life Day. They always end up laying down and cuddling together as they look at the sky, and sometimes they forget to go back inside and end up sleeping there.

15. Who has a hobby only the other knows about?

Luna is the only person who knows that Luke is actually really into art (drawing, painting, sculpting, basically anything involving his hands). He's a little shy about being a self-taught, amateur artist, but she treasures his art like it's from a museum exhibit on Coruscant. In fact, she has offered to use her connections to set up an actual museum exhibit to display his art; he's very shy about the idea of what he views as his mediocre art being visible to people all over the galaxy, but there is a part of him that's interested in people knowing him for something other than blowing up the Death Star.

🚨 coolest lore post yet 🚨

SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG WE LOVE CASTING SPELLS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SAMI LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

she honestly needs no introduction at this point but for the poor unfortunate souls who are just now hearing about her: this is sami (full name samidare), a carnivorous succubus who works very closely with the queen of harlots in her pursuit of bloodshed and takes care of her paperwork in the daytime. she's...quirked up you might say.

if you're unfamiliar she needs to eat flesh and blood to survive. oops (more on that here)

she's been around for just about as long as desire, and the two met before the advent of demonic scholars and timekeeping so we don't have any exact dates from before then. sami is her equal socially and in physical prowess, so perhaps that’s why they instantly took a liking to one another. that and they love bloodshed teehee ^_^ sami is a little less calculated in her approach than desire is but also considers violence an art form. she’s also dedicated to her work and loves logic puzzles you’ll find a ton of those on her desk

made immortal for the queen’s selfish whims, they have been made inseparable by circumstance and by choice. she has already long outlived others of her kind, the only person she knows will stick around is the queen obviously. they were forcibly bonded once the first apocalypse shook hell, with sami losing her last living relatives and desire having her family abandon her amidst the destruction to save themselves. left alone in a flooded and decaying wasteland for days, they had only themselves to rely on to stay alive. quite romantic innit

they spent their time post-reconstruction doing what warlords do i suppose; fighting separate battles and slaughtering in parallel, cleaning up and telling each other their tales at dinner. they got romantically involved with one another, sort of the logical next step; so intertwined in one another’s lives that leaving would be a fate worse than death.

one day desire just...woke up with the self-awareness that she was a fucking awful person. sami was willing to sacrifice a lot of her own desires to help her in getting better, but after a hundred years or so it was apparent that she didn’t want to change. she never wanted to. she wanted to masquerade as someone who knew better, someone who absolved themself of their previous sins. she gave up trying to help and instead tried convincing desire to stop lying to herself, and has been doing that ever since.

erm like and subscribe and i’ll tell you all why the angels are sentient
