More DnD Doodles! I got a lil tablet so I can draw on the go! I've been using it sometimes to get better at drawing with it.

GDnD Doodles! Art style consistency? I dont know her. Honestly, I'm just happy I have been drawing as much as I have recently! Some of these are a bit older than others. Please enjoy!

My bad if I'm a little late (especially for a two-in-one), but who's the cool parent to you, Peony? And which of your ghostly buds do you like more, Papa Max or old bestie Sectonia? (Good luck on bringing them back btw! At least I believe you can do it! :D

"No, seriously, though... both my mom and dad are so cool, and Granddad and Miss Sectonia are the absolute best. I guess it's one of those things where it's not really a competition for me? They're each cherished by me in their own individual way. Mom’s so tough and smart. She has an answer to EVERYTHING, and she never lets anyone mess with her! But my dad is super brave and knows all the best stories… and he’s smart, too! Every bit as much as mom is! Just in a different way. The two of them have taught me everything I know. Granddad spoils me and tells the best jokes and loves to play games. But Miss Sectonia is always looking out for me and says the nicest things. She seems scary when you first meet her, but once you get her to warm up she’s the most caring person you’ll know. Which… um, I guess might sound strange to the people who knew Granddad and Sectonia when they were sick, but they’re alright now, so everybody has to be nice to them! They’re my family, too, and that’s why I’m working so hard to make sure they’ll eventually be allowed to live the lives they deserve. Thank you for the well wishes regarding that."

Ohhhh Peony, I can't help but feel you're simplifying this a little. I would not, in fact, describe Sectonia, even uncorrupted, as 'the most caring person you know.' With or without an ancient artifact actively flanderizing her personality she's a bit of a mean-spirited, self-centered bitch. She's just chosen to take you specifically under her wing because you're your father's daughter and you remind her of her younger, more reckless self. You are the exception not the rule. 😭

Same goes for Granddad. Dude's also still kind of goddamn weird. Your mother, in fact, would be the first person to state that.

I'm glad you're so loved and have so much love for your family, though. I'm sure your mom, dad, granddad and the unexplained scary woman who aimlessly follows your father around appreciate it.

My anxiousness has been good for something. Say hello to Bucky and Sam.

For Bucky I chose poppies because it’s my favorite but also because of the significance to service members. He was a POW and considered missing in action, laying his life down for his country. The red poppy is a sign of remembrance for all of those who have their life in service. It first came about after WWI with the poem In Flanders Field.

For Sam I chose the sky pilot flower. That’s pretty self explanatory. I also liked the contrast of the blues/purples with his wings. I am thinking of adding a filler flower peeking out from the wings.

For Steve I am thinking sunflowers (loyalty and longevity) and/or blue violets (trustworthiness and intuition).

And Natasha will get either a peony (regret/apology -for wanting to wipe the red out of her ledger and make good), dahlia (grace, inner strength, dignity), or widows pin cushion (I honestly just thought these looked cool and are often a symbol of death)

Smoothie Ideas

Who asked for a smoothie idea? Oh, no one? Okay! If I had access to all of these and a good amount of space to work with as well as room in a freezer, and a good blender/food processor, this is what I would do. All plant parts in equal amounts. Plus plain yogurt and silky tofu for texture. And maple syrup, honey, tulip tree nectar, eucalyptus nectar, and cane sugar for added sweetness.

@kiarasflowr put together these questions for all of us to get to know each other 😌✨

what’s your favorite kind of weather? what do you like to do during that weather?

my favourite kind of weather is when you wake up and it’s brisk but the day and nights are warm. those are the days when you slap on sunscreen and get in the car and rive to the beach and stay there all day, come home have a shower and a nap and then get ready to go out. I literally love days like that

what’s your favorite scent of candle? perfume?

I loveeee lychee legit my favourite smell. I also have a pink lemonade candle I swear by, otherwise vanilla is always good. I have the Beyonce heat perfume and it’s honestly so nice

do you have a favorite flower? what is it? do you know the meaning and it is important to you?

I aint much of a flower girl tbh but I think I like peonies?? they’re like roses but way less cliche.

if you could get any tattoo you wanted what would it be? why? where would you get it?

when I go live overseas I want to get like a compass or a globe with a plane flying around it to remind me of my adventures and that im always headed where I need to be at the right time.

do you have a favorite poem? why is it your favorite?

 my favourite poem is In Flander’s Fields. it's about the First World War and it makes me cry every time I read it

what’s your favorite color and what things or feelings does it remind you of or make you feel?

like a pale pink- it just makes me feel neat and dainty and sweet and I think it suits my complexion the best

what vibes do you get from me? what song or color do i remind you of?

I get like chill vibes but like really excitable or passionate when certain situations require it. I think you’re really sweet but not afraid to cut the shit and put someone in their place if it needs to be done. you remind me of purple and yellow, and a song that reminds me of you is better by khalid

what’s on your bucket list? if you could only choose one thing to do before you die what would it be?

on my bucket list is so many things but basically to travel and take as many experiences as possible, but I think I would like to try skydiving even thought it terrifies me  but if I could do one thing before I die I would choose to hug my mum 🥺 I love her the most ahahah

if you could have only one wish what would it be?

to find happiness more often :)

do you believe in the paranormal? ever had an experience?

yes. not in like the creepy, haunting way (well not all the time, my work is haunted and ive been there late at night by myself and I will stand by that statement) but in a spirits are with us kinda way. I can feel my grandma with me sometimes, either like overwhelming moments or ill see something and I just know its her and I know what to do in that situation etc.

do you or have you ever gotten high? what was it like for you?

nooo I'm not a drugs person, but I wouldn't be opposed to trying. I know what it’s like when im drunk, but just completely content and not caring and calm and I feel like it would feel like that- just no inhibitions or cares in the world, just freedom.

this was really fun to do and I'd love for all these people to try so I can learn more about you :)

Here at The Perfume Society, we’re all about celebrating Galentines – it’s a word we first saw popping up last year, but do you know what it signifies?

Izia launched last year, and immediately scored a hit for those seeking a scent that straddles the gap ‘between pretty and impertinent” as Sisley put it. Rose but not as you know it, this manages to be both pretty and uplifting with a carefree, bohemian edge. To celebrate their one-year anniversary, Sisley turned to the rock-n-roll style of British artist Quentin Jones for a whole new spin on the packaging. This limited edition features fluorescent ink, rose collages and paint flecks for vibrant pops of colour contrasted with the luminescent, sparkling cheerfulness of that rosy juice. If you know a Sisley-addict (and there are many) or someone who adores rose perfumes but can’t abide dustiness, this is guaranteed to brighten their whole year.

Sisley Izia £95 for 50ml eau de parfum Buy it at houseoffraser.co.uk

When everything seems dark and gloomy, there’s nothing like lighting up your life with a box of perfume that’s simply bursting with exotic blossoms. Not sure what your friend’s favourite floral is, or want to branch-out and try some flower-filled scents for yourself? Cochine‘s discovery set is the perfect choice. A trio of fragrances inspired by the beautiful location of Saigon (where founder Kate Crofton-Atkins was tempted to move after quitting her high-powered beauty job in London – and who can blame her?) there’s the delights of White Jasmine & Gardenia, Vietnamese Rose & Delentii and Tuberose & Wild Fig to revel in. Great size for travelling or popping in your purse, too!

Cochine Floral Collection £35 for 3 x 8ml eau de parfum Buy it from our online shop

Sarah Jessica Parker turned the world of celebrity fragrances on its head with the release of Stash, which converted many niche-only perfumistas into full-on fans of the scent. The second of the opus – Stash Unspoken – is an exquisitely werable plunge into prettiness with an edge, featuring pink peppercorns and the honeyed addictiveness of quince atop a floral heart that feels like twirling in a tulle gown: wisteria, honeysuckle and peony entwine with the rich almond-y muskiness of the base (and a hint of woozy booziness to reel you right in.) Fans of Sex and the City, fashion-mavens and fragrance lovers alike will thank you for this addition to their wardrobe, and at a very purse-friendly price.

Plan Your Spring Garden

A large portion of the enjoyment of spring is anticipating it. So as you put your garden to bed this fall, make strides that can help you through the winter doldrums. Here are a few things to do while you're imagining.

Plant new and clever globules. With a little thinking ahead you can arrange your garden's shading plan for the following four seasons completely with knobs, picking those that naturalize so you don't need to supplant them consistently.

How late would you be able to plant? There are no immovable tenets, however the more you delay, the more outlandish the globules' root framework will grow ideally. You may get sprouts the main season, yet an encore isn't ensured.

Set out to withdraw from the tulip, daffodil and crocus kind, and explore different avenues regarding "incidental globules," the speediest offering classification in numerous nurseries today. Consider:

Magnificence of-the-snow (Chionodoxa). C. gigantean has splendid blue, star-like spring blossoms with fine-finished strappy foliage.

Cape cowslip (Lachenalia). Tubular blooms in spikes on beefy stems. Globules rapidly increase to frame clusters; solid in zones 8 to 10.

Blooming onion (Allium). Splendid wads of shading on exposed stalks. A. thunbergii "Ozawa" blossoms from late summer through ice; in winter bloom heads turn reddish brown red.

Take after nature's lead: dissipate a few seeds. Get a head begin by planting now. In reality, many seeds require a time of icy before they'll grow. Nancy McDonald, overseeing manager of The American Cabin Plant specialist, proposes these determinations:

Flanders poppies (Papaver rhoeas), or corn poppies. They're a secure. The seeds don't should be covered, and once settled, the plants self-sow. Shirley poppies, a strain of P. rhoeas, come in red, fragile pinks, peach and rose, all edged in white.

Panicle larkspur (Consolida regalis ssp. Paniculata). A billow of dainty blue blooms, more fragile than general larkspur.

Foxglove ( Digitalis pupurea). Spikes of pompous blossoms. 'Sutton's Apricot' is a flawless delicate peach.

Columbine (Aquilegia). Nancy's most loved half breed is 'Nora Barlow,' a twofold that crosses to great impact with different columbines in the garden. Brilliant columbine (A. chrysantha) has fragrant, since a long time ago prodded yellow blossoms on an intense, dry spell tolerant plant.

Hollyhock (Alcea). Some biennial, some lasting, hollyhocks come in shades from delicate pastels to rich reds and about dark maroon. Alcea rugosa, a lemon-yellow midsummer developer, is impervious to rust.

Moth mullein (Verbascum blattaria). A biennial that produces white spikes with pale pink markings in its second year, wonderful rosettes the first.

Dianthus. 'Sublime Pink' and the Flawlessness cross breeds (Dianthus superbus or related species) are the absolute most sweetly scented decisions around.

Give biennials and perennials a promising start. Plant peonies, foxgloves, sweet William, Canterbury ringers and pansies, and let their underlying foundations get set up. You can plant holder developed plants as long as the ground isn't solidified. Mulch well. North of zone 6, hold up till spring to plant uncovered root perennials. In the profound South and Southwest, plant cool-season annuals, for example, larkspurs, poppies and love-in-a-fog for winter sprout.

Include a garden trimming. Regardless of whether it's a little stone frog, a looking globe or a bamboo water woodwind, the complement will add new measurement to the garden and liven up the winter scene too. Throughout the years, the approach of ice confirmation cement and chip-evidence glazings, alongside an enormous choice and assortment in frame, has made outside craftsmanship well known. Nowadays you can even request a Putto — a happy winged kid with water-gushing dolphin — coordinate from Italy. Says Andy Brinkley, who creates copper decorations and twig dovecotes in his North Carolina studio, "Individuals who like cultivating more often than not likewise have an enthusiasm for workmanship."

Send away for indexes. Far reaching inventories will supply you with amazing plants for spring and garden perusing to get you however the year's most brief, darkest days.

Garden practically. Indeed, even in the dead of winter, planting is as close as your PC. On the Web, you can collective with kindred fans, search for knobs from Holland or impression faraway patio nurseries.

Plan for more bright winters. Without a doubt, you're yearning for spring — however bear in mind that the winter cultivate has its own particular charms. Plant now to make fervor next winter. The old standby hollies and nandinas deliver berries, obviously, yet different trees and bushes give winter enthusiasm too. The Japanese blooming apricot (prunus mume) puts out its pale rose blossoms at that point. The linden viburnum's red berries persevere. Witch hazels blossom on exposed branches in late winter.

Also, there are bark, surface and frame to consider. In zones 5 through 7, stewartias create kaleidoscopic shedding bark that lights up a boring scene. Their white camellialike summer blooms and splendid fall foliage make them radiant four-season examples.

Not at all like herbaceous plants, woody bushes and trees can be planted well into winter in regions of the nation where the ground is not solidified. Better root advancement happens with prior planting, however.

Jemy Flanders is a freak of a man. Let me explain to you why.:

He's an Amnesiac. He remembers nothing except the fact that someone slit his throat and now he'd undead.

Washed up on a beach and just. fucked around for 2 years as a petty thief.

Met his bestie, Florence, an orange dragonborn cleric.

Finally, after 2 years of petty theft, got CAUGHT but instead of rotting away as an undead man in prison for the rest of his life, was given an offer by the person he stole from.

That person was Peony Flanders, who offered him to work for her and pretend to be her father.

And the reason that Peony Flanders wanted this random ass guy to pretend to be her dad? Well, he kinda looks like him, and her real dad got drafted into the war before she was born. Plus having a 'fake dad' would allow her to get up to shenanigans while her dad handled the more 'social' aspects of her noble house.

So this guy, pretends to be some noble girl's father. Whose real father COULD still be out there.

And then on the night of Peony's 20th birthday, there's an assassination attempt on the whole house and so Jemy and Peony, along with others get teleported to the Fantasy version of the Wild West.

Then a few days later, Jemy finds out that he may not be human, that he may, in fact, be an aasimar. Like any reasonable person, he tests this by seeing what type of blood he bleeds (spoiler, his blood sparkles like an aasimar).

He then, after a few days of sorting that out, tries to see if he can access any of his aasimar traits, only to learn that there's some sort of infernal block on him preventing any transformation.

Subsequently, while trying to save the inhabitants of a town, finds out that in his previous life was a devout follower of Argenta.

He finds out the above fact, by stealing a magical talking sword from a baddie. A sword that only glows when devout followers of Argenta hold it.

That magical talking sword gives him therapy.

And that doesn't cover the little things like his habit of sniffing the air to try to locate people, his preference to sleep in a chair over a bed, or the fact that he went on a 10+ minute rant with a full murder board about his conspiracies on everything that's happening in the world at large.

He still doesn't even remember his own fucking name. He's a freak.
