FLOWERS FOR YOU (Scaramouche x gender neutral reader)

A/N: Might've lost the plot after trying to write this out for months..

Scaramouche was a florist, and he's not very good in expressing his feelings.

While the exterior of the store might look cold and minimalist, the same cannot be said for the interior. The front window showcases the exquisitely done bouquets, attracting the eyes of passersby and inviting them to come in the store. Further inside, there are shelves carrying different floral species of every colour lined along the walls and buckets of fresh flowers arranged in rows on the ground, for customers to pick out the flowers themselves.

The cool air circulating around the store carries the scent of the fresh flowers, the fragrance further enticing customers that have just opened the door to come in and explore to their heart's content.

When Scaramouche hears the jingle of the bell hung at the top of the entrance, he sighs internally. After all, another customer just means another bouquet to arrange and wrap up for.

Scaramouche has never liked flowers.

He walks out to the counter and opts to put on the friendliest smile he could muster to see the customer already squatting down to check out the types of flowers they could choose from.

"Welcome, may I be of any assistance to you?", he questions.

The customer turns their head and gives Scaramouche a little nod to acknowledge him before bringing their attention back to the fresh flowers in front of them. Scaramouche's smile pulls into a thin line at the lack of response.

Just as he was about to turn around and click his tongue in annoyance, the customer stops him in his tracks when they finally open their mouth to ask, "If the bouquet was to be given to a love interest, what flowers would you recommend?"

He turns his head to the customer once more, a smile resurfacing upon his features. His favourite question. He replies with ease, "I'd recommend roses, baby breath and some lavender."

Classy, inexpensive and easy for him to wrap it up.

He makes quick work of the bouquet, ensuring that it has been wrapped neatly before ringing them up and sending them off with a smile.

When the bell rings again and he is greeted with the sight of you, he lets out a sigh to try and hide the small smile that forms on his face.

"Morning, Kuni. How are you doing today?", you ask, giving him such a sweet smile that even the beauty of the flowers combined can't compare.

Scaramouche has never liked flowers, but, he supposed that he would tolerate it for you.

"My day was going fine until you came.", he answers, narrowing his eyes when they meet yours.

"Oh? Did my presence make your day?", you teased while making your way through the store to get to him.

"You wish.", he retorts.

"Whatever you say, Kuni. Anyways, what are your top picks for this week?", you ask as you lean on the counter.

"For you? Nothing. Don't expect a bouquet."

You turn around after hearing those words, about to argue back before a bouquet appears in front of you. It was made out of all your favourites - the large white peonies dominate the bouquet with their soft, full blooms, slightly hidden by the small yet vibrant pink carnations. Long feathery ferns bring about texture and balance, completing the arrangement with a bright and delicate touch.

You look back at him, surprise evident in your eyes before it turns into a mischievous glint when you see the tip of his ears turning red.

"Oh, what's this now? I thought you said you weren't giving me anything?", you teased.

"Fine, don't have it then. I'll give it to the next customer for free.", he grumbles, retracting his arm back.

"Come on now Kuni, I never said I didn't want it.", you reply, hastily taking the bouquet from him before it disappeared under the counter. You held it close to yourself, a smile adorning your face as you admire the arrangement he made for you.

Warmth wraps around his heart like a blanket when he sees your expression towards the flowers, and he thinks that there is definitely no one else in this world who could make his heart beat just like you.

"Well, aren't you going to pay up? Surely you don't think that my service comes for free.", he asks with a small huff.

You look up at him, flashing him a bright smile before leaning over the counter to give him a kiss. "Thank you, Kuni. I really loved the flowers this time."

He takes a look at you for a few seconds, admiring your features before he pulls you close to him.

"Are you kidding? I think you owe me more than just one kiss, darling.", he says.

"Hmm, would ten more suffice?", you ask.

"Hah, I'll tell you when it's enough.", is all he says before his lips are on yours once more.

i hate that if you add alt text/descriptions on images after people have already reblogged them the alt text/description doesnt show up on the reblog. I often don't add alt text until much later after posting stuff, partially because sometimes i forget and sometimes I don't have the spoons at the time i post to do it (ADHD), and its very feelsbadman that it doesnt show up on the reblogs people have already made. maybe I should just leave things in drafts until i do the alt text/description for them.... but then some things id never end up posting because I never get around to adding a description for them...

does anyone know of any resources available on how to write image descriptions/ alt text? I'd like to learn how to do it Properly

I know it’s not anonymous but I’m curious, what’s a moment in your life that will always drive you to create more fiercely than anything else? No matter the medium

... hm. I really don’t know. I don’t think I even had one particular moment, it’s more like a bunch of little things that spin around in my head when I’m too hard on myself.

My creative writing teacher’s comments on my old writing which kinda sucks by comparison nowadays, which means I’ve made progress! Seeing other people on tumblr doing things really well and also being around my age (or older), which means I could also be that good someday! And, not to pander, but you help a lot too! I like seeing your drawings and short stories and feel like my brain is exploding because Omg My Good Friend Did That and It’s Really Cool and Good. And hoping that maybe I’m also that friend to you?? No, I couldn’t stop.

But most of all I think it’s because, no matter what, I always come back to it. If I’m burnt out or suffering from The Brain Problems, I’ll still do a little doodle or write a really good sentence that I need to save for later, or find a cross stitch pattern that I’d love to do someday. I always come back to something that I love, no matter how much I feel like I hate it. I let myself hate it for a bit and, when the feeling is gone, I can apologise and start again.

Wow that’s a lot more words than I meant to type but I hope that was the answer you were looking for! ^^

Hi @maesonc-artistic-adventures! Your artwork is so beautifully textured and adorable and has inspired me to continue creating for this fandom. I admire you a lot, so I wrote this short piece for you as part of the Fan Joy July challenge based on your artwork. I hope that’s okay!

“It’s definitely north,” said Wind. Warriors loomed over his shoulder and he snatched the map out of sight, scowling. Rain was drumming against the shield Warriors held over their heads, pt-pt-pt-pt-pt off the grooved metal and all around them in thick droplets. Not that it was doing them much good. A stiff breeze was flinging the water under their makeshift shelter and into their faces. The back of Wind’s tunic was all damp. “Hey! Pirate eyes only.” “What, you’re worried I’m going to see the X where you buried all your treasure?” Warriors laughed. “You didn’t even make this map. And anyway, you’re holding it upside down.” “No, I’m not.” “Yes, you are.” Warriors tugged it out of the kid’s hands and rotated it, then handed it back. Wind’s eyes went round. He squinted through the rain. “Oh,” he said. The shield thrummed. Pt-pt-pt-pt-pt. Warriors laughed at him. Wind elbowed him in the ribs as hard as he could manage.  “Well, how was I supposed to know that?” he demanded. “In my era we draw our compasses in this corner, not that one.” He shoved the map under the captain’s nose, pointing. Warriors shook his head.  “It’s labelled?”  “Well, I don’t read this hylian, do I?” Wind said incredulously. “I can’t deal with you imbeciles.” “Ah, come on now,” Warriors said. “Don’t start quoting the old man at me, that’s not fair.” He blinked rain out of his eyelashes, blond hair soaked flat against his forehead, and grinned winningly until Wind elbowed him again. “We need to go east,” the kid decided, holding the map out. An icy wave of rain came upon them from behind. A furious shiver wracked him. “Nah,” Warriors admitted. “It’s north. You were holding it the right way before.” Wind whipped his head around and glared. “You rat bastard.” Warriors grinned. “Just a bit of fun. C’mon, squirt. Lead the way.” “See if I ever let you give me map advice ever again,” Wind said with his nose in the air. He gestured in the right direction. Warriors set off, brisk pace slightly more sluggish than usual, matching Wind’s walking speed. If the sailor had asked, he would’ve cited the weather—but he kept his shield level above Wind’s head the entire journey, as they both stumbled on down the road to Kakariko through the cold grey rain.
