This was captured against dark undergrowth and underexposed 2 stops so that the back-lit lilies might be nicely isolated.

Oh look, a payneland fic (and moodboard)

Maybe the brainrot will finally stop now that I have written this 🙃

The Case of the Zantedeschia aethiopica

[sillysmileys]

All my SFM AUs!

TWs: Talks about injuries + a small mention of death. Info.

Trout Lilies. (SFM Good Ending)

A trout lily doesn’t have a specific meaning, however, they are usually yellow. To take from the yellow lily meaning, a trout lily can mean walking on air, happiness, and gratitude. They are occasionally called Fawn Lilies, and some think that this lily could have inspired the Tooth Lily found in game :-). 

Calla Lilies. (SFM Bad Ending)

Zantedeschia albomaculata Said to represent a new chapter in life, yet, also represents death. There are two kinds of this flower, both only separated by their scientific names. The other, Zantedeschia aethiopica, is not actually a lily. It can mean transition and growth.

Water Lilies. (SFM The Habitat Rebooted)

Water Lilies represent purity, celebration, hope, rebirth, wellness, and peace. A contender for the name was the Lotus flower, as it is the meaning of Kamal’s name, and also means strength, resilience, and rebirth. However, I settled on Water Lilies in order to keep the Lily theming, and additionally, because Lotus Flowers are confused with Water Lilies all the time.

Lily of the Valley. (SFM Swap AU)

The Lily of the valley is a flower that has an association with music and is often used to symbolize the beauty and purity of music. Due to this being a swap AU, I didn’t want the name to associate with Boris quite as much, but wanted to keep the Lily theme. Due to this, I chose a lily that represents music!

Madonna Lilies. (SFM Beta Idea)

Said to represent purity, innocence, chastity, and elegance. The bulbs were used to treat inflammation, burns, and tumors. It is a good fit for this AU, as the old beta idea was a little interesting per say. (Try to find it if you want.) I won’t talk much about this AU, but may write about it from time to time.

Kalla | Choi San || Chapter 26 Snippet

MASTERLIST of the story

As soon as they crossed the thick door, one of San's hands trapped her neck, taking her lips so deliciously she lost her balance for a second, forced to be trapped between his body and the door he slammed behind her with his free hand. 

—I know it's just been a week —he mumbled against her lips—. But what a fucking long week. 

She thought about whether she was way too easy for wanting to be trapped under his strength after one apology and barely a conversation, but the attraction she felt for him was too powerful for her to even care about it. 

—I've thought about you in so many ways —he growled. 

She knew it. 

If San was something, he was vocal and shameless when it came to confessing every want he had from her. In those five days they were apart, because he thought it was better for her to adjust to the timezone, the intensity of their texts just kept increasing, always leaving her with her lungs filled with heavy air that made it difficult for her to breathe -and think properly. 

—It should be illegal how bad I want you, and how bad I think of wanting you when you aren't with me —he sighed, teeth squeezing her throat. 

���Why don't you repeat those things you said you want to do to me, hmm? If you dare to tell me directly. 

She had to close her throat to keep the gasp from coming out when he pressed himself against her, showing her he was already raging for her. A warning that running her tongue more than she should would get her in trouble. 

—The suspension? Playing with your ass? Or having my whole hand in you? Which one is it? 

She should've known he wouldn't back off of telling her directly. Of course San wouldn't back down. 

—Fuck, having you here makes me think on doing way more than tie a rope around your tits, arms and ankles and suspend you from the ground with chains. 

He had told her he wasn't an expert with ropes and knots, but he knew the most basic ones to assure each other a good session. She gulped thick when she remembered all the other several things he mentioned throughout those days in texts, and how she felt depraved by how quickly aroused she got. 

—I can smell from here how much you like those ideas —he laid his forehead on hers—, but I'm not going to do any of that tonight. 

—Why? 

She looked and sounded disappointed, with her arms falling to her sides when he stepped back.

—Go to my room, and wait for me, sitting on the bed. 

—Naked? 

—Dressed —he shook his head. 

She didn't have time to hesitate, because his hand laid a playful spank on her ass to get her to move. She also didn't have much time to overthink the reason for him to take back everything he said to her, because her logical side assured her she wouldn't be there if something had changed. He wouldn't have gone after her that night. 

Then, what was all that about? 

Her thoughts were interrupted by his presence. He was only dressed with his white shirt -with the first three buttons unbuttoned, showing off his marked chest-, it was still tugged inside his black dress pants, although he was barefoot. He dropped his socks with his shoes in the entrance. His aura still radiated that confidence that made her feel small, but there was something missing. 

His authority. 

Before she could ask what that was about, San bent over, and she thought he was going to kiss her. But instead, he kneeled a few centimeters away from her, hands on his knees, head bumped down. And he bent a bit more, placing his hands on the floor, before resting his forehead on them for five seconds. 

—San... 

But he didn't react to her voice. He only moved his torso up to look back at her with the same initial position. 

—Tonight is all in your hand.

Coming up...

ok so i had this little brain wave while reading TBH

zella - Zella is a girl's name of African origin meaning "lacking nothing, one who knows the way".

and the calla lily is - Calla lily, also known as Zantedeschia aethiopica, is a herbaceous or semi-evergreen perennial plant native to southern Africa

um... idk if im just sleep deprived or not idk lol

[noandpickles]

This is a dumb idea but I'm really curious if there's a correlation here.

Calla (Zantedeschia Aethiopica)

[withdreamsofhereafter]

[Passion fruit vine, Passiflora edulis. Hand pull, or slice at base then poison]

I grew up the daughter of a single father, a park ranger who taught me to value nature and care for all living things

[Grey Cotoneaster, Cotoneaster franchetii. Pull seedlings early, or chop down larger shrubs and paste stump with herbicide]

I would spend my weekends and school holidays working with him, hacking away at gorse and poisoning blackberry, knuckles and arms bloodied by the end of the day

[Blackberry, Rubus fruticosus species aggregate. Treat with herbicide; be careful of crown runners]

I have planted tiny forests with my father, ripping up all the weeds to plant native species that the birds and lizards and bats can enjoy. Creating shelter and nourishment that will be here far longer than I will

[Arum lily, or Death lily; Zantedeschia aethiopica. Spray with herbicide, be sure to dig out all roots and tubers]

I learned to spot the weeds, identify them, give them their proper names and know how to kill them best. I learned to see not a plant, but a problem to be solved

[Greater bindweed, Calystegia silvatica. Treat leaves with a glyphosate-based weed killer, or smother all vines with weed matting and mulch]

Everywhere I go, this morbid habit follows me - I see the weeds, I name them, I mentally check off how to destroy them. It's easier than breathing some days. I learned to hate the weeds, look down on them in more than a literal sense

[Greater Periwinkle, Vinca major. Hand pull, ensuring all roots are removed from soil. Do not compost]

So why oh why

[Blackberry, Rubus fruticosus species aggregate. Treat with herbicide; be careful of crown runners]

Are the weeds so beautiful

[Creeping Raspwort, Gonocarpus micranthus. Hand pull, ensuring the whole stem is removed]

Now that I'm in love

[New Zealand flax, or wharariki; Phormium colensoi. Hack to the ground and dig it out, best done with a small team and a digger]

In Its Image

This was taken with a Canon EOS-M5 and was biased darker by a stop but the image apparently came out darker than it should've been. Our copy of the M5 had been giving inconsistent exposure lately. Anyway, the result here was what we had happened to want for this shot.

writing patterns tag game ✨

Rules: post the last sentence from your 10 most recently posted fics (less if you don't have 10 is also fine).

Tagged by @part-timewonders! Thank you!

I have less than ten because I culled my ao3 recently due to The Horrors™️, but here we go:

Fragile , Ted Lasso , Roy Kent/Jamie Tartt :

They’ve kissed, and things cannot be the same now.

CVLTIC , Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, Armitage Hux/Kylo Ren :

It would be fine.

The Case of the Zantedeschia aethiopica , Dead Boy Detectives , Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland :

The flowers lay forgotten on the table.

If you show me heaven (I will meet you there) , Dead Boy Detectives , Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland :

They sat, quietly, tangled together on the couch, drifting through consciousness.

Much Like Breathing , Dead Boy Detectives , Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland :

Charles nodded, and then, “I think I’m in love with you, too.”

I Wanna be Adored (You Adore Me) , Dead Boy Detectives , Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland :

They had forever. (There’s an epilogue to this, but idk when I will get around to editing it so idk what the real last line is).

Love for You Is Larger , Dead Boy Detectives , Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland :

Charles would hold that promise like a prayer.

That’s everything I have posted r/n, thanks for the tag!

@emryses , @thenyoumaykissthebride , @riceinthechurch , @fridayincarnate , and @jaynesilver if any of you would like to play (no pressure at all though!)
