I saw this among Saya’s concept sketches and wondered if the flowers put in her hair were chosen for a specific reason.

After hours of searching online, the closest I could find which corresponds to said flowers was the Duranta erecta (common name(s): golden dewdrop, pigeon berry).

In Japan, they mostly mean “I will watch over you (あなたを見守る)”, which is likely why these flowers were picked, knowing what happened to Saya in the game.

If the hand who put them in Saya’s hair was Masamune/Yashiki’s, then it can imply that he either promised to watch over her or regarded her as his guardian angel.

The bond those two share is such a beautiful, yet bittersweet thing. 🥲

I saw that you wouldn’t mind answering that last ask but with the outcodes lol

How would the outcodes react to an SO offering their soul to them?

Starling- Baffled. You want them to have your soul? They're unsure if they could take such an offering.

Dove- S/O might have to convince them, as their first reaction is to deflate and laugh and go 'of course'. They're used to a lot of people *thinking* they want to give them their soul.

Gull- Honestly isn't sure what to do with this. He pauses and his smile drops and he is just, confused. What does he do with this? While his own soul glitches as he tries to work out his feelings.

Pigeon- Startled and tries to make s/o put it away. He's unsure how he tricked you into thinking he deserves your soul but please! Hide it before Dire sees!

Dire- Free Real Estate. Possession Time™️

Decoy- Gives a sad smile, as he doesn't have one to offer in return. The gesture isn't lost on him though.

Ducky- Doesn't know how to feel. But if s/o is someone close to him he'll keep tabs on them. And when their time comes, he'll slip a fragment of their soul into a doll to keep. He knows Decoy and Ibis would help him with it.

Shrike- Tells s/o off for bringing out such a vulnerable and important part of themself. But, he'd be touched, in a gruff protective way.

Dal- Baffled and makes sure Dire isn't around, but to be that close with him, he'd most likely accept with a shy voice.

Ibis- Clicks their tongue and gives a gentle reminder that they will come to collect, just not right now.

Ber- Scolds slightly, but mostly because he's upset with himself and his limitations. He can't BE there for s/o and most likely, he can't touch them... It's basically teasing the poor gate keeper.

Bug- Wishes he could give his to s/o too. The best he can do is kiss the screen he's stuck behind.

Nix- 'Thank you~ Such a good pet you are!' And readily marks it.

Gale- Unsure, self doubting, and might withdraw for a moment. But give her time to think, and she might accept.

Berries- It has not a clue what the fuck to do with a soul that's not a skeleton monsters. It tries to possess the soul.

Chimera- 'FOR MEEEEE? :D' Consumes.

Painted- A lot like Decoy, he's kind of sad and appreciates the gesture.

Another meme redraw of these two

[clavalanche]

Why didn’t I text back? Sorry bout that, it’s just that the process of being digitally connected all the time feels so genuinely unnatural to human nature that it fills me with rage. The process of sending a message brutally reminds me you literally cannot live without a phone these days. I am simply a mammal. I was never meant to make elaborate dinners plans over text. Humans genuinely aren’t built for this shit . But yeah dinner at 7 sounds great.

A poem by Liz Berry

Birmingham Roller

We spent our lives down in the blackness… those birds brought us up to the light. – Jim Showell, Tumbling Pigeons and the Black Country

Wench, yowm the colour of ower town: concrete, steel, oily rainbow of the cut.

Ower streets am in yer wings, ower factory chimdeys plumes on yer chest,

yer heart’s the china ower owd girls dust in their tranklement cabinets.

Bred to dazzlin in backyards by men whose onds grew soft as feathers

just to touch you, cradle you from egg through each jeth-defying tumble.

Little acrobat of the terraces, we’m winged when we gaze at you

jimmucking the breeze, somersaulting through the white breathed prayer of January

and rolling back up like a babby’s yo-yo caught by the open donny of the clouds.

Liz Berry

Glossary:-

Black Country / Standard wench / affectionate name for a female yowm / you are cut / canal owd / old tranklement / bits & bobs or ornaments onds / hands jeth / death jimmucking / shaking babby / little child donny / hand
