As promised, welcome to

Fun biology in TOTK’s designs

I'll keep this post updated as I go through the game. I'm going to skip the more general identifiable things like apples (they're based on apples!) because there are tons of more unusual species to talk about.

Overall, the really interesting thing I've noticed is that many of the more unique Earth-based lifeforms in TOTK are super ancient, like predating dinosaurs ancient, which is a really cool tie-in to the overall time-hopping plotline of TOTK. Specifically, they're found in the new areas (caves, depths) while the surface remains a bit more normal.

(There will be no plot spoilers in this post, and also I've barely gotten into the plot because I'm spending all my time wandering, so shhh no spoilers in the tags for like a month please.)

Most recent additions: More lilies, irises, wild ginger, spiny bones, pigeon extravaganza, plus added some more real photo comparisons to old stuff.

PLANTS

Bryophytes my beloved. Bryophytes are among the earliest land plants, waaaay predating flowers and even seeds. In our world, they’re small by necessity—they lack vascular systems to help move water around like other plants, so they have to stay small and moist (hence their frequency in caves in TOTK—though they do need some light in real life.)

In TOTK they’re quite large and I think that’s very sexy and art directors should give us big bryophytes more often

Anyway, there are three types of bryophytes: mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. First image pair is a moss, second is a liverwort. Those red-brown and palm-tree-like structures, respectively, are their reproductive structures.

Not yet spotted: Hornworts! Did they forget the third bryophyte sister :(

I think these next guys are probably lycopods (specifically club moss, which is not a true bryophyte moss, thanks science.) Very old, but vascular, so they're a bit more evolutionarily recent than bryophytes.

All the enormous curly-topped trees in the depths: Ferns! They curl like that until they unfurl. Another very old plant, though younger than bryophytes and lycopods.

Brightblooms and some of the other giant plants in the depths: Possibly based on a cycad? Again, a very ancient plant lineage. At this point, evolutionarily, they've developed seeds—that giant cone in the center is called a strobilus, and that's the seed structure.

These next few plants are angiosperms, meaning they produce flowers. Angiosperms are a more recent evolutionary lineage—still many millions of years old, but it took a while to develop flowers as a reproductive tactic.

Sundelions (left) are a fun recolor of a lily. There are also some scenery lilies (right) in various places—there are yellow ones that spring up when you turn on a lightroot (which gives them literal and thematic connection to the surface) and several other varieties, including tiger lilies, throughout Hyrule. Fun note, the sundelions appear to only have 5 stamen, while other lilies in the game (correctly) have 6. Seems to be an intentional decision to make it a more distinct fantasy species.

These next ones are Peruvian lilies/Alstroemeria, just used as a scenery plant but a very fun inclusion. Fun fact, not true lilies, so they're not deadly to cats like true lilies are.

Plum trees: These are also called out as plum trees in game! There's a journal in Kakariko that refers to the plum orchards.

Okay I'm a little proud of figuring this one out. Bomb flowers blend a few botanical references. Superficially, the fruit resembles a type of seed pod called a capsule—specifically it's very similar to a poppy capsule. The little red thing in the center is a nice addition to resemble both a flower stigma (reproductive part that leads to the ovary) and a bomb fuse. Now, poppy capsules disperse their seeds via wind, but there are other plants who do explode their seeds outwards as a dispersal tactic! This is called explosive dehiscence.

There is one tree in particular called the sandbox tree, AKA monkey-no-climb or dynamite tree (yes, really.) Their capsules look more like little pumpkins, but are known for violently exploding when ripe—they can launch seeds at 150 miles per hour (250 km/h) and spread them roughly 200 feet (60 m) away. The photo comparison is a poppy capsule but you should def go look up dynamite tree videos.

Fire fruits (and the other elemental fruits) grow on the same generic plant that looks kind of like it has grape leaves. Fire fruits resemble a specific botanical thing too though—the black netting is a papery calyx (part of the flower) seen in a nightshade genus, Physalis (golden berries, tomatillos, etc.)

I think this stuff is an Asarum, AKA wild ginger. I was actually puzzling over it until I walked past some today and went HEY

Not sure of the exact species but they're very green and heart-shaped and love being dense and low to the ground.

Irises: Love irises, one of my favorite flowers and words, very happy to see them in game.

MISCELLANEA

Cup lichen! Lichen is not a plant, but a symbiotic structure of an algae + a fungi. Cup lichen is just a type of lichen formation that has a kind of vertical cup-like structure.

Real photo via Bernard Spragg

Geology crossover! Go look carefully at some of the whiter walls in the depths—they look like they have fossils of coral and other undersea hard-structured animals in them.

ANIMALS

Sticky lizards: Based on Diplocaulus, a very early (now extinct) amphibian! Their skulls are wacky. We're not sure whether the long sides stood out separately or were smoothly connected to the body by skin flaps, but the separate arrow-like shape is the most popular rendition.

Deep firefly: Might be a stretch because it could just be a multi-winged fantasy critter, but I think the "wings" and antennae are very reminiscent of Anomalocaris, an ancient aquatic arthropod.

Update: Other folks in the notes/tags have pointed out that they're probably based on a cryptid that's especially popular in Japan: skyfish AKA rods! They show up in photos and people think they're an alien lifeform. In reality, they're an optical blur created when a lower quality video captures intermittent flaps of an insect's wings, leaving sort of a many-winged smear in the photo. Thanks to all who left info!

Little frox: Another stretch because it totally could just be a Hinox-like frog, but every time I see the little ones I can't help but think of like...Ichthyostega, Mastodonsaurus, Eryops, and other early amphibians. They were pretty hefty—little frox size or bigger—and had with little waddling legs. This is less "I think it's definitely this" and more "it makes me happy when I picture frox as primitive amphibians."

I haven't detailed many of the scenery animals around Hyrule because most are identifiable with the camera function—it'll tell you that a certain animal is a heron or porgy, for example, and those groups are real, even though the exact species is made up. But I think the pigeons are fun because they're all crested pigeons. Pink-necked green pigeons may have also been the inspiration for the color palettes on the wood and rainbow pigeons.

Both pigeon photos via JJ Harrison, Wikipedia

Spiny bones: Not a specific critter, but those spiny bones that you can find lying around Eldin Canyon are vertebrae—possibly from the same thing that left those big rib cages around? The top spike is the spinous process where muscles attach, the littler spikes on the side are the transverse and articular processes. The dark O in the center is the spinal cord.

Also I made a friend who finally recognizes my purpose in Hyrule.

That's all I've got for now! Will add more as I keep playing.

reader and lando finding out poppy is a girl!!

𝐀 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐞?

𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐱 𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫

𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: it’s time to find out the gender of baby norris, and lando had a little help from the boys at his detail garage…

𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: none very fluffy

𝐚/𝐧: i’m loving lando and poppy they’re so precious and cute😭

One of Lando’s first gifts to you that was enough to make your jaw drop was a 718 Porsche Boxer in pearl white, it was gorgeous, and he’d smiled while handing you the keys as if it didn’t cost him a pretty penny.

It was so significant to you that you’d wondered why it was missing from the garage, it wouldn’t be practical to drive it when the baby arrived, but for now it was fun and got you around town in a flash.

“Lan? Can you come here a second!”

You were sat comfortably on the couch, both hands resting on your growing bump, today was the day you were supposed to be finding out the gender of baby norris, but Lando had been off doing stuff all day, stuff you’d yet to figure out

“You called baby?”

When he came into view you smiled

“Where did the Porsche go? I went to take it out this morning and it was gone…”

Lando shrugged

“I got it taken for a detail, they’re actually about to drop it off now…I um..well I hope you don’t kill me..”

This caught your attention, your eyebrow raising at his slight hesitation

“What did you do…”

Sitting down next to you he leaned down to kiss your stomach before kissing your cheek

“Well, I may have gotten my guys that wrapped the Jolly…to wrap the Porsche…in um whatever colour the gender of baby Norris is” he stated quietly, almost afraid to upset you

“Wait really? Honestly that’s…that’s pretty genius Lan”

At the sound of your voice he smiled, leaning back onto the couch to cuddle in next to you

“Oh phew…do you know how many flowers companies, food deliveries and little presents I have on standby incase you hated it?”

At the sound of this you let out a laugh, though Lando knew deep down you’d never hurt a fly, he’d witnessed your wrath during your pregnancy, and after the first time he’d upset you, he vowed to never do that again.

Around 4:30 in the afternoon the guys arrived with the car, it had a cover over it as you and Lando stood in the driveway, eager to see just what colour your car was.

“Are you scared?” You asked, voice wavering

“A bit nervous but not scared…are you?”

“No…I mean-a little but just eager to see what baby Norris is”

Lando pressed a kiss to your temple, holding onto you gently. Thankfully the two of you decided to do this gender reveal just for the two of you, an announcement would come at a later date.

Letting out a deep breath you watched as the car was pulled up in front of you two, Lando making his way over to the fabric cover before looking at you

“Ready baby?”

“Pull it…”

Taking a deep breath himself Lando pulled the cover off to reveal your Porsche, gone was the white paint and to replace it, a gorgeous shade of pink: Baby Norris was a girl!

“A girl!!” Lando yelled excitedly as he cheered

You were a blubbering mess, tears running down your cheeks

“A g-girl…oh Lando”

After completing whatever strange dance he was doing he quickly came your way, pulling you into his arms before kissing your face, pulling away just enough to swipe the tears from your cheeks

“Yeah honey, a girl…you happy?”

“So happy..I love you so much”

Lando’s eyes brimmed with tears the more he thought about the fact that he was going to have a little girl to love and spoil, he was the luckiest man on the planet. He married the woman of his dreams, and had a daughter on the way.

“I love you more, and-”

He paused to lean down and press a kiss to your bump

“Daddy loves you too”

Forgotten was the pink Porsche in the driveway, all that matter was this moment between the two of you, three considering the little baby growing inside of you. Never in your life would you have ever seen your life working out this way, but you were so grateful it was.

The way you draw Etho is so freakin GENDER!!!!! and I love your zombie au so much!!! Is there anything you've really wanted to talk about with the au that no one's asked about yet? :D

First of all, thank you for reading/enjoying the things I've been drawing!! Second of all, what I want to talk about could fill a novel or two, but I've settled on flowers today.

A couple months back, I decided to assign a handful of characters in the AU flowers. Mostly just for fun, but I do use them in my illustrations, and Joel and Lizzie's flower makes an appearance in the comic.

Technically, the meanings of some of the flowers below can change depending on color and who you ask. I chose whatever I jived with most.

Anyhow, here they are;

Cleo-Hyssop

In general this flower represents humility, repentance and sacrifice. I've seen in my travels that it's mentioned in the bible, in the context of cleansing/forgiveness. Fun hyssop fact, it's actually a garden herb from the mint family.

Etho-White Lily

White lilies are all over the place in terms of meanings and associations, so I'll only touch on what specifically applies. They're a popular funeral and wedding decoration. The color white is heavily associated with purity, but I chose these for their ties with death and rebirth. Them being a popular sympathy flower is a bonus, considering he's presumed dead for the majority of the comic.

Joel and Lizzie-Morning Glory

Morning glory has a handful of meanings, but the most popular ones are all centered around love; love in vain, undying love, sometimes even obsession. I like the way morning glory twists around things, it's one of my favorite flowers despite it's weed status. In general, morning glory is known to smother nearby plants and they require a lot of consistent effort to get rid of. This is pretty well known, but most morning glory blooms in the morning and closes in the evening.

Grian and Scar-Poppies

This is a really popular fandom thing already, and I think death and remembrance are really fitting for them. They're also closely associated with sleep, peace, undying love and sacrifice. I associate them very strongly with the Wizard of Oz, and that movie strikes a really great balance of nightmare and reverie for me.

Martyn-Hemlock

It feels weird to talk about characters I haven't introduced yet, but I'm doing it anyway for the prank of it all. In Victorian era flower language this flower is tied to the phrase 'You will be my death.' Hemlock is (allegedly) associated with dark arts like necromancy and it's generally seen as a sign of danger.

I only went ahead and chose flowers for people who have really important roles in the story, so apologies 75% of the characters aren't listed. Just a fun little list, I don't know if folks are as crazy about flowers as me, but anyways thanks for reading! Below is a lil scribble I did up on tracing paper back in February.

Take care!!

Some fun facts about orchard(cult) au:

after the start of the cult branch goes by Adonis and only close friends known his real name

Viva and clay are engaged. They’ve been engaged dubc they were kids it just wasn’t official

Poppy’s existence was hidden from the tribe.

The flowers that branch discovers have different affects on creatures for example trolls who consume them lose their voice, critters become obedient to whoever feeds them the flowers, and if a Bergen smells them they’ll go into a deep sleep

Branch used to hate the color pink, reminds him of Floyd and it’s pretty triggering for him but since poppy came along he’s been really tolerant of it

Cooper is in the cult and tbh he’s just happy to be there

Branch finds the flowers when he’s 8 and forms the cult when he’s 12 :D

Anyways hope you liked my rambling might do more of these in the future!

Salvia Splendens Means Forever Mine - Part Four

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Reader

WC: 2.5k

TW: kissing, pg-13 thoughts, pg-18 thoughts, talk of sex, mentions of death, trauma of death, lots of flowers, mentions of violence, basically anything mentioned in the last chapter is a tw here

A/N: God thank you all for being so fucking patient with me. I really appreciate you all!! I hope you enjoy!!

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Spencer’s lips were on your shoulder as he tightened his grip on you. His arm was wrapped securely around your waist, your back against his chest. You grumbled something unintelligible, but Spencer just hummed in response, kissing your bare shoulder again.

“What are we going to do with you Doctor Spencer Reid.”

He laughed quietly, his voice still gravely since he also just woke up.

Mornings with Spencer always went like this. The two of you had been living together for over a month now, and you couldn’t be happier. Waking up next to the love of your life had major benefits.

The first was morning sex. Waking up to Spencer kissing your neck, and your chest, and lips. Lazily breathing together, moving with one another. Feeling as his chest rose and fell while you riled him up and teased him endlessly. It was incredible. People seemed to notice your mood change when you showed up to work too, which definitely had its own set of perks. It was basically the best way to wake up, in your opinion.

Then, there was the fact that you got to wake up and enjoy how gorgeous he was, how beautiful his eyes were. Watching as he finally was able to relax, stress free putty in your hands, melting as you played with his hair and whispered about nothing and everything to him.

But the best part about waking up next to Spence, was that you got to start your days with him, knowing you’d get to come back home after work, sleep beside him, and wake up next to him all over again. It felt surreal at times.

“What’s going on in that head of yours? I can hear the gears turning.” Spence muttered, kissing your shoulder this time.

Your body rolled in his arms, causing you to face him, kissing his cheek softly. “How much I love you.”

You felt Spencer freeze for a moment, and you looked up to find his eyes on you.

“You…”

“You don’t have to say it back Spence.” You slid your hand up, and cupped his jaw. “It’s a really big commitment. But you not saying it immediately back doesn’t mean you don’t care about me or don’t love me back. You might just not be ready to say it out lou–”

“Look who’s the one rambling now?” He smirked slightly, making fun of your conversation from the previous night, in which you cut him off with a kiss when he was too busy telling you about something that wasn’t relevant to the task at hand. Spencer followed your model and cut you off with a kiss that you melted into. “I love you too.”

______________________________________________________________

Spencer had been sitting next to your hospital bed for a whole day now. He was exhausted, hungry, dehydrated, covered in blood, and looked like shit–but none of that mattered since you had been in a medically-induced coma since the ambulance brought you to the hospital.

Watching as you coded not one, but twice during the ride to the hospital just continued to confirm Spencer’s greatest fear. Hearing your heartbeat flatline is something he never ever wants to experience again. Ever.

The room was filled with vases of flowers. It made the air sickly sweet, the bitter opposite of how he was feeling, looking down at your sleeping body. But he knows you would have found some of them funny.

There was a vase of red and white camellias, meaning you were the “flame” of someone’s heart, but also adorable. Someone else had sent you declarations of love (red tulips) with hints of declaring war (tansies) throughout. But the one from Spencer was the best.

He had bought you a bouquet of red poppies: meaning consolation. Spencer had gotten you a consolation prize for being on the team and getting stabbed in the stomach. He was hoping your sense of humor would still be intact when you woke up. If not, then they were also from Derek.

Just then, the machine made a sound Spencer hadn’t heard before. Then it made it again. A long beep, loud enough to wake the dead, but somehow not you. A nurse came running in and ushered him out of the room, much to his opposition.

He fought with two different nurses, trying to stay in the room with you. Apparently having three Phds means nothing when they aren’t the right ones to keep him in that room with you. And regardless of his relationship status, he was now stuck back in the waiting room with the other peasants.

“So….”

Spencer looked up at Derek.

“So?”

“How long.”

“Not in the mood right now Derek.”

“No, no. I wanna know–how long have you two been sneakin’ around. I mean, for gods sake Reid, you managed to keep a relationship hidden from some of the best profilers in the country..”

“Well.” He grumbled, looking back at the hallway you were down. “Over a year now–almost two.”

“I’m sorry–two? Two years?.”

Spencer nodded, looking back at Derek.

“Damn.” He muttered, shaking his head. “Now I–”

Whatever Derek was going to say was paused when a nurse walked in, a slight splatter of blood over her scrubs. Both of them turned their attention to her, fearing the worst by the solemn look on her face.

“She’s awake.”

“Holy shit.” Derek mumbled while Spencer let out a breath he had been holding for what felt like millenia.

“But.” The nurse continued. “She can only see one person at a time. And she’s asking for Agent Hotchner.”

Neither of them had realized that the solemn looking section chief was sitting quietly in the corner. Derek and Spencer shared a look with another, while Hotch got up from his chair and followed the nurse down the hallway and into your room.

“Aaron.” You smiled at him, though it was an exhausted smile. “Thought you’d come in with blood on your shirt from having to fight through Spencer and Derek.”

Hotch chuckled and closed the door behind him, sitting down next to you and placing a hand on yours, squeezing it. “The nurse shot them both a look and told them ‘not to try anything’. But I do have to ask, why me.”

You closed your eyes. “I want to give you my recount of what happened while I can still see it.”

“Y/n you do–”

“Hotch I want to. I watched as she stabbed that woman over and over. I watched as that asshole buried her body. I want to tell you what I saw. I want to tell you so that there’s no fucking way either of them will ever see the light of day again.”

Hotch didn’t feel like now was the appropriate time to mention that one of the unsubs was dead. He wanted to hear your memory of the events. He pulled out a mini black notebook, and a pen, from inside his suit jacket pocket. “Whenever you’re ready Y/N.”

______________________________________________________________

“Hello everyone, my name is Doctor Y/n Y/l/n, and I am going to be your speaker today. I have been with the BAU for about a month, and they wanted me to come in and speak to you about it—a newbie’s experience.”

That earned you a couple of laughs scattered throughout the crowd. You were asked to come in and speak about what it’s like to join the BAU to anyone interested in becoming profilers. You were not expecting for it to be a full house, but every single seat had someone in it, with overflow huddling around the back of the lecture hall by the walls.

“Now, I’ll try to stay within my time limit since I know standing and listening to someone blab on about themselves is not the ideal situation; however. That’s exactly what you signed up for. So–.”

Spencer stood in the back of the room, watching you speak to all of these students with ease–your peers really. Some of them even older than you, and yet, there you were, confidently smiling and maintaining their interest. It baffled Spencer.

He wished he knew how you were able to captivate so easily, especially since he was completely enamored by you. Derek knew it too—well the whole team really knew, except for you.

The crowds laugh pulled him out of his thoughts as you continued on.

“Right. Now.” You clicked the little clicker and the pictures shifted behind you. “It’s time to get serious. I know I said that already, but I mean it this time.” You smirked a little bit and went onto the next slide.

“The first case I ever worked with the BAU, I was just a temp filling in Elle Greenaway while she was away on some family matter. I was assisting in some case where—”

Spencer’s train of thought got the better of him. All he could do was think about the day you subbed in for Elle. He could remember it like yesterday, even though it was almost forty days ago, not that he was counting. He didn’t remember much of the case though, which was a sore subject that Derek and JJ would tease him about still.

“Does anyone have any questions about the process?” Your voice brought him back to the lecture hall once again.

“How old are you?” Some random guy’s voice rang out amongst the crowd.

“Well.” You laughed. “I’m twenty-two.”

Spencer heard some of the people around murmur, and he chose to ignore whatever they were saying about you, since he wasn’t one to win most fights.

“Why the BAU?”

You paused and bit your cheek, thinking really hard about that question.

“Honestly? I was obsessed with the serial killer documentaries when I was like fifteen/sixteen, and then one of my family members was murdered when I was fourteen. It’s not something I talk about a lot, but I remember my biggest question was why. It’s why I was so obsessed with those documentaries, because I wanted to know why someone felt that they could just take someone away from a family, from the world, and I realized that the only way I could find out the answer was if I did it myself.”

There was a murmuring throughout the crowd once again.

“I don’t think I’ll find the answer any time soon, if at all. But I love being able to protect people. I love being able to know that what I’m doing every day matters–to everyone sure, but mostly to me.”

Spencer, and the rest of the team, had no idea you were connected to such a tragic event at such a young age. You didn’t show the signs of someone who had gone through something like that. But now that he knew, he wanted to find out everything about it, find a way to bing you peace of mind. God, it sounded so stupid. He barely even knew you.

He was lucky you were extraverted in that since he could barely form a sentence around you. God he couldn’t wait to listen to you talk to him on the car ride back to the BAU.

______________________________________________________________

You ended up talking to Spencer last.

One by one you smiled at your friends, reassured them you were feeling better, and told them you would rest.

But then, Spencer was standing in the doorway, and he was looking at you with such pain, with such distraughtness, that tears started to stream out of your eyes–you didn’t notice. But Spencer did. He quickly closed the door behind him and walked over to the bed. Clasping your hand in his, he used his other hand to wipe away the tears on your cheeks. “Sweetheat, baby, it’s okay. I’ve got you. It’s okay.” He whispered, trying to provide you with some comfort.

“Did…Did you get my necklace back…”

That was not where Spencer thought this conversation was going. “I–”

“Be-Because I can't ... .Spence I’m so sorry. She just snatched it off of my neck while I was unconscious and, and, and she put it on, and fuck–”

Spencer squeezed your hand, causing your rampage to stop, but the tears pushed on. “We have it.” He said quietly. “There’s no way in hell I’m ever letting anyone else take that necklace okay?”

You nodded and used your other hand to wipe at your cheeks, managing to get rid of the tears.

Spencer kissed your hand again. “It’s at home, right on the kitchen counter. I got it professionally cleaned and everything.”

You nodded and sighed. After a moment of silence, you peered around his frame, taking in all of the flowers and balloons and cards that people had left you.

“wow…This is…”

“A lot?”

You nodded, brows furrowing as you bit the inside of your cheek. Spencer watched as your eyes slowly scanned across the flowers in the room, landing on the bouquet from Derek.

“Is someone trying to declare war on me?” Your laugh was a bit garbled as you swallowed down the rest of your tears, trying desperately to change the subject.

“Morgan thought you would think that was funny.” He whispered, his eyes only focused on you. On the way your lips parted when a particular inhale hurt your chest since they had only taken the catheter out an hour ago, or the way your chest rose and fell, the bruises scattered across were blooming into nasty blues, purples, and greens.

“Who got me poppies?”

Spencer met your eyes, a small cheeky smile on his lips.

You slapped his arm with no mirth behind it, a grin spread widely across your face. “I’m sorry. But did you get me a consolation prize for surviving?”

Spencer nodded, watching as you laughed to yourself, wincing when it would hurt a bit too much. “I love them, Spence.”

“Good.”

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

There were more flowers you couldn’t see, at your home. There was vase upon vase, filled with plenty of flowers for you to decode their accidental (or purposeful) messages, each with their own ‘get well!’ card attached. There was only one bouquet that mattered above the rest, made of completely fake flowers. There were bright red Salvia Splendens, contrasting against the white of the kitchen counter, waiting for you to come home and see them.

Spencer had thought that he should buy you flowers that lasted forever, just as long as his love would, just as long as he would forever be yours.

fic rec friday 34

welcome to the thirty-fourth fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

1. Red Poppies by @icypantherwrites

Hanahaki (with a twist) AU — Lance has never experienced a case of Hanahaki this bad. He wishes he could say it’s just the amount of flowers he’s coughing up and desperately trying to hide from the team, just as he’s trying to hide the fact that he technically died at Omega Shield from them, but it’s not just that. It’s the fact he keeps choking out red poppies. And red poppies...

They symbolize death.

the most interesting take on hanahaki ive ever seen tbh. i know icy panther is known for her edgier storytelling, but this is one of my faves of hers! i like the originality of it, and of course i adore the addressing of the omega shield disaster

2. Voltron: Last Dialogue by @uncouth-peasant [IMPLIED CHARACTER DEATH]

After the events of Omega Shield, the Astral Plane has a visitor.

okay look i know everyone freaks about major character death but im asking u to read this anyway. for one its only IMPLIED, technically lance could still be alive, and also it’s just a really well-written fic. lance and shiro have so so so much potential with how similar their characters and arcs are, so i loved how this one explored that in its heartbreak

3. The Poison of Deceit by @icypantherwrites

This diplomatic mission is not going the way Lance had hoped. The diplomacy part on behalf of Voltron is going fantastic and Lance doesn’t think he’d be remiss in saying he had a large hand in that. But the whole impress Shiro bit is an epic fail as Shiro doesn’t seem to notice his efforts at all and it’s only worse with Keith showing him up at nearly every turn. The aliens they’re working on the alliance though have noticed his efforts. But as Lance stands here now, Shiro and Keith’s lives along with a vial of poison in his hands, he isn’t so certain that was a good thing.

the fuckin ‘i drank poison to save your life’ trope will NEVER get old idc idc. the heart dropping moment when the team realises that by doubting lance they may have cost him his life...insanity fr. like i eat this shit up every time

4. blind spots by @adelfie

Lance knows something’s wrong.

Keith turns his gaze on him, dark eyes latching onto him like an anchor.

Normally this is when Lance can think of something stupid to say to make Keith smile. Bonus points if he can get a laugh. Usually it isn’t hard — smiles come easy when it’s them. But something is wrong, and Lance knows that Keith’s smile will be the farthest thing from him if he says it.

-- Lance gets hurt during a mission with Keith and the Blades.

blade pining down bad keith in startled awe of bamf lance...it eats every single time like lets be honest my friends. bamf lance in every flavour is delectable but through keith’s view????? oh god it’s something special

5. Isn’t There A White Knight by @bosstoaster-writing

Kink Meme FIll: "In the first episode, Lance says that Shiro is his hero. But Shiro is still just a guy in his mid twenties, and we've seen him join in on silly stuff ("Blam blam blam!").

So what I want is five times Lance sees Shiro do dorky, ridiculous things, and one time he realizes he'd still follow this dork to Hell and back."

C'mon, as if I could pass that up.

five plus one? check. lance learning to know his idol as a human? check. gentle and careful and clumsy relationships? check. and dorky loser goober shiro, my love and light? CHECK CHECK CHECK. this fic is so so fun. shiro should get the right to be a dorky goober at all times and anyone who writes that is my hero

that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

#fic rec friday may have been the best thing i did on this blog tbh #vld #voltron #lance #lance mcclain #keith #keith kogane #klance #shiro #takashi shirogane #lance & shiro #team as family #langst #fic rec #fic rec friday

looking very closely at the website neighborhood and here's some little things i noticed (plus some overthinking & flower symbolism):

~ the only butterflies on the "map" are the ones outside of Frank's house, and the single one outside of Eddie's.

~~ i think the flowers outside of Eddie's are either hyacinths or lavender. given that the flowers are different colors, they're probably hyacinths. which is a Fascinating choice to me, because hyacinths can symbolize regret, devotion (especially beyond death), love, forgiveness, and jealousy - depending on the flower color. Eddie has light blue, dark blue, and purple. The butterfly is landing on the purple one (sorrow, mourning, forgiveness, regret, devoted love).

~~ its also Fascinating because the myth behinds hyacinths is about the greek god Apollo and his (male) human lover, Hyacinthus. they were playing discus (metal frisbee). Apollo threw the discus too hard, and it bounced back and hit Hyacinthus, killing him. devastated, Apollo grew the hyacinth flower from Hyacinthus' spilled blood. SO THE FACT THAT EDDIE, GAY PUPPET EDDIE, HAS HYACINTH FLOWERS OUTSIDE THE POST OFFICE IS UM. INCH RESTING!

~~ (also also in the myth, Apollo wanted to rescind his immortality to join Hyacinthus in his death. and in an alternate version of the myth, Hyacinthus was technically murdered, because Zephyrus was jealous that Apollo preferred a mortal over him & purposefully blew the discus off course to strike Hyacinthus. things to think about. yes, in this whole myth metaphor im viewing Eddie as Hyacinthus and Frank as Apollo. do with this what you will)

~ All of the trees in the neighborhood are in the same general style, except for the tree outside of Sally's home, which is a pine tree. i wonder why!

~ the only buildings with second floors are Barnaby's, Frank's, Sally's, and Poppy's homes. rip the "wally falls down the stairs" memes

~ there's a teeny tiny Home in the post office display window

~ Julie's house has quite a lot of heart symbolism. like, a weird amount. an amount to the point where i now have an entire theory around what her role and arc might be. i Will talk about it with minimal prompting.

~ one of the swingset balloons has a happy face balloon with its eyes closed, which stands out to me (and fuels my julie theory)

~ the only neighbors who don't have flowers outside of their buildings are Sally, Julie (disregarding decoration), and Howdy.

~ Poppy has daffodils, which symbolize rebirth, new beginnings, resilience, and hope. however, they have a negative side of selfishness.

~ Barnaby has red, yellow, and blue tulips. red means undying love, admiration, and truth. yellow means "there's sunshine in your smile", joy, happiness, friendship - But it can also mean unrequited love or jealousy. Blue means individuality, trust, and good luck

~~ note that there's a dead/trampled white tulip. white tulips symbolize sorrow, "my condolences", apology, honor, purity, faith.

~ Frank has sunflowers, daisies, and some others, but those i think are more generic, unspecific flowers for added decoration. i couldn't find a "red flower on vine" that fits the general look of the ones on his house. now, sunflowers symbolize adoration, loyalty, longevity, happiness (also, might i add that these flowers are from another greek myth about apollo, this one where Apollo turns a jealous nymph into a sunflower for snitching on his mortal lover, which got her (the lover) killed. inch resting indeed.)

~~ also blue daisies, which i am assuming are the blue flowers outside his house, symbolize freedom, trust, loyalty, confidence, and honesty. lots of positivity surrounding Frank's house!

~ Wally has daisies. these symbolize innocence, purity, new beginnings, hope, and affection. it can also symbolize the ability to keep a secret. a fun fact i found interesting is the word daisy comes from an old english word meaning "day's eye."

~~ do i believe these flower choices were purposeful? maybe. probably. it does seem strange that there are specific, distinct flowers drawn in equally specific parts of the "map", while a couple of generic "cartoon" style flowers are sprinkled throughout

~ three green apples are growing on the tree next to Howdy's Place

~ it stands out to me that the bodega window above the fruit stands is completely blacked out. no window shine or nothing

~ Sally's "yard" is weirdly barren. everyone else's buildings (excluding Home) has several things decorating the surrounding area. all she has is a spotlight and a tree.

~ Barnaby's house having paint all over it (and a paintbrush & can next to it) is just cute to me. it makes me think that he wanted to paint like his lil' buddy Wally and just went ham with it. or it was a team effort between them<3

~ it took me a while to notice the tiny "Eddie's" painted above Post Office. it gives the vibe (to me) of him tacking on the "Eddie's" to make the office feel more like his. maybe he saw the sign "Howdy's Place" and decided to paint his name on his building to make himself feel more established and at home

~ there's something on / part of Frank's roof. i don't know what it is. if anyone has an idea please tell me its driving me insane. at first i thought it was a chimney but theres two? making an additional symmetrical structure? idk!!

~ there are only three buildings with straight up rainbows. Eddie's post office (hanging from the roof and in the window), Sally's house (the entire front), and Frank's house (butterfly on the door wreath. i almost didn't catch it, it's a sneaky one!)

#conclusion: i am definitely overthinking but being proven wrong through discovery is half of the fun #(and turning out to be either right on the money or even partially-right is the other half of the fun)#its just!!! its really strange how fitting some of the flower choices are!!#eddie has flowers that are 'from' a greek myth about tragic gay love.#barnaby has a trampled tulip that is often used as a sympathy funeral flower. along with all of his other character references to death #frank has one of the few flowers other than hyacinths that directly links to a greek myth where apollo's mortal lover dies tragically #(which is just a weird coincidence if you ask me. the canon lovers both having greek myth apollo based tragic love flowers)#wally has flowers that symbolize keeping secrets and whos etymology is literally 'days eye'. him. the eye contact connoisseur #who's from something that puts emphasis on daytime while spurning night as something forbidden #ITS JUST!!!! WHY DOES IT FIT SO WELL!!!!#either these are some craaaaazy coinkydinks or this was Purposeful.#my flower-symbolism loving ass is chewing on this like a rabid dog #welcome home #welcome home puppet show #welcome home speculation

08/27/76 - Sebby & Poppy

And 18 years later, they're finally married. I finally got to draw them again! Wawawa

🌺Fun fact 1: Faustine's nickname is Poppy because she once choked on a poppy when she was a kid, and her mom thought it'd be a cute (and funny) nickname.

🌺Fun fact 2: Sebastian calls her Flower instead since she finds her nickname really embarrassing. But he calls her Poppy to keep her on her toes and tease her.

Tales From Under The Wisteria Tree

Chapter 8 - A Girl and her Adventures

Tallulah missed her papa. Papa Phil said that he was only leaving her for a few moons. And he always held up to that.

But he had been gone for longer than just a few moons. Tia Niki was amazing but that didn’t change the fact that she missed her papa.

“Good morning Tallulah!” Tia Niki sang.

“Morning.”

“Why so glum sweetheart? She said, sitting down on Tallulah’s bed. “Is there anything I can do to help?”

“Do you know when my Papa is coming back?”

Niki fell silent. “I wish I did. He’s been gone a while huh? Want me to curse him?” She said the last part with a goofy smile on her face.

“No Tia! We need to be responsible with magic, remember!”

“Oh. Right that. What’s the point in having magic if you can’t have a little fun with it?”

“Papa says magic should be used to help people.”

“Your papa is good. Now c'mon, we can eat breakfast and talk about how we can get your dad back.”

“Ok!” Tallulah hopped out of bed. Tia Niki helped her braid her hair, weaving in amapolas.

“I’m sure I can figure out a spell to find your papa, I just might need some help with the garden while I think about it.” She said as the pair ate breakfast.

“What spell?”

“That’s what I’ve got to think about my flower.”

Tallulah grinned and took off towards the garden once they finished breakfast. Niki sat on the steps to the house flipping through a huge spell book.

Amapolas brightened up the trail of footsteps that Tallulah left behind as she sat down and focused on the premature strawberry.

She tried to follow the steps Tia Niki said earlier, to focus, and imagine what you want it to become. Then share a bit of magic. Just a little so it doesn’t overwhelm the spell.

And a gigantic strawberry grew. Bigger than Tallulah. “Darling!” Tia Niki yelled. “I figured— oh. What happened?”

“Too much magic…” Tallulah said sheepishly.

“That’s ok, we’ll just make some extra strawberry shortcake for the bakery this week.” Tallulah gave her Tia a big hug.

“So what did you figure out?”

“I figured that we could do a little divination on what your papa has been doing. It could help us figure out why he hasn’t come back.”

“What do we need?”

“Let’s go to the firepit, I should have left some of the ingredients out there from last time.” Tallulah led the way. “Pretty soon my whole garden is just going to poppies,” Niki said with a laugh, pointing out the lack of grass and growing red flowers spreading in Tallulah's footsteps. Tallulah beamed at her Tia.

“Ok, your dad has crow feathers right?” Niki said, looking through her jars of ingredients.

“Yep!”

“Found them!” She took out a singular crow feather. “Can I have a lock of hair Tallulah?”

The little girl nodded and her aunt carefully plucked out a single strand of hair. She added it to the pile of wood and lit the fire with a flick of her fingers. Tallulah stood on a little stool to see what Tia Niki wrote down the little figures in the fire that she saw in her little journal.

The smoke smelled nice. That was a good sign right? It smelled like flowers. Like the flowery tree near the river by her Papa’s house in fairyland.

“Wisteria blossom smell…” Tia Niki said, she stuck her tongue out a little bit as she wrote the note down. “Smoke took the shape of a heart, then flowers.”

“What does that mean Tia?”

“Quiet darling, divination requires all of the focus we’ve been training on.”

“Oh.” She whispered before letting her Tia continue.

“Fire turned a bright purple before swirling with greens and pinks. The same shade of pink as a love potion and the same green as an emerald.” Niki said. Tia always found writing easier when she repeated the words out loud.

“The flowers look like the ones at my papa’s house! The ones by the river!”

Niki paused and looked at the small girl. “Wisteria flowers…” she murmured before quickly turning back to her notebook.

Niki quickly put the fire out and crouched down to examine the ashes. “What’s there Tia?”

Niki held up a small piece of braided rope. The ends were singed from the fire. “A small piece of a handfasting braid.”

“What’s that?”

“Let’s go inside first, I need to process this.”

Tia Niki handed Tallulah some of the braided bread that hadn’t sold yet. “Let's sit down in the witching room.”

Tallulah loved the witching room! The plants climbed over all of the walls, and when it was late spring the flowers bloomed creating a rainbow of colors. There was a corner with a big cauldron and a potion-making book. In another corner, there was a small sitting area.

“So what’s my papa doing?” Tallulah said before taking a big bite of the braided bread.

“I think he found someone special.”

“Someone special? What does that mean Tia? Did he find another changeling?”

“No, I think they are human, like me minus the magic.”

“Why would papa think a normal human is special?”

“Have you heard the story of your clan before?”

“The one about the human and the fae she loved. The ones who founded the clan rules? That story?”

“Yeah! A fae from the craft clan fell in love with a human. She loved gardening and the fae decided to court her the human way. She eventually fell in love with him and agreed to marry him if they promised not to kidnap more humans. And your clan hasn’t taken a human since.” Tia Niki took a sip of her honey tea.

“She planted the tree by the river I was talking about! They were her favorite flowers and she wanted them in fairyland. Her and the fae did their handfasting ceremony under the tree and it’s been a tradition for fae and their beloveds to handfast under the tree since then!”

“It has a heart carved into it right?”

“Yep, that's our clan’s crest! A wisteria tree that has a heart carved into it! But what does that story have to do with my papa…?”

“I think your papa is the fae in that story, little one.”

“You think he fell in love with a human?”

Niki laughed. “I do. The fire turned the same color as a love potion.”

“And the wisteria?” Tallulah asked, eager to hear more.

“That’s the tree that grows by the river. The handfasting tree.”

“Papa fell in love!”

“I think so, little one.”

“So why did he leave me then?”

“He probably got distracted, you know how your dad is. He probably saw a pretty human and forgot whatever he was doing.”

“That does sound like my papa.”

“If you help me I can try to pull a vision of the two of them, I’d have to use your bond to your papa though.”

“You mean we can see them? I can see the human?”

“It will be complicated for you darling, are you sure we can’t just wait for your papa to introduce the two of you?”

“I wanna see the human.” Tallulah stood up and made her way to the big cauldron. She climbed on another stool that was left for her and flipped through the potion book.

“Tallulah, honey, it’s not that simple.”

“I wanna see the human Tia!”

“Patience sweetheart, I need to find all the ingredients. Can you read them out for me?” And Tallulah did. Tia Niki ran around dropping in the ingredients before rushing off to grab more.

“Anything else?”

“Just the name and an item of theirs.”

“We’ll use your bond for that.” Niki grabbed a scrap of paper and wrote down ‘Philza of the Craft Clan’. She dropped it into the cauldron and it shimmered green. “Now what I want you to do is think about your papa. Think about a really happy memory and hold it in your chest.”

A happy memory. The happiest memory she had was when Tallulah was officially adopted by Papa Philza. She was three. She had been a part of the craft clan for ages but she never called Phil papa. That was something reserved only for Chayanne. But when she finally worked up the courage to talk to Papa Phil he told her that he always considered her his daughter.

“I’ve got one.”

“You feel it in your heart?”

“Yeah.”

“Imagine that memory is an amapola. Take one of the petals of the amapola and drop it in the cauldron.”

Amapola, petal, cauldron. Got it. Tallulah could do that.

Amapola.

Petal.

Cauldron!

A singular poppy petal appeared on the top of the liquid before settling in and the scene on the surface changed to an unfamiliar area.

It was Papa Phil! And he had his wings wrapped around a tall human.

When papa pulled his wings away Tallulah saw the human in closer detail.

He had black hair like Tallulah and Tia Niki!

Then papa began to speak.

“They need to be cleaned.” Said Vision papa.

Before the human spoke the vision cut out.

“Tia Niki! What happened?”

“You can’t overhear conversations with divination. It’s a rule used by magical folk to protect privacy.”

“That’s a stupid rule.”

“Would you like to have a secret conversation about a gift for your papa and then he uses magic to find out what the gift is?”

“No!”

“That’s what that rule is for.”

“Fine,” Tallulah grunted. “But it’s still uncool.”

Niki giggled. “I know. Rules are never fun.”

“So when can I go meet papa and the human!”

“It’s rude to call him the human Tallulah. That’s like calling me the witch.”

Tallulah thought about that for a second. “What would I call him then, I don’t know his name.”

“Well if he’s your papa’s beloved then technically—“

“He’s my other papa!”

“Well…”

“You’re right, that will get confusing… hmmm… oh I know! Pepito calls his dads ‘apa’. I'll call him my apa until I know his name.”

“Maybe you are rushing into things Tallulah, humans are a bit slower in terms of courting than beings of magic.”

“He’s my apa, papa Phil is in love with him.”

“Sometimes people don’t like each other in the same way.”

“Who wouldn’t love my papa?”

Tia Niki sighed. “Everyone loves your papa, but there are different types of love darling.”

“But they love each other! Papa never lets strangers touch his wings. Especially not humans!”

“All I’m saying is Tallulah is that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions.”

“I’m not jumping to conclusions. I’m just saying that my papa loves my apa and my apa loves my papa!”

Tia Niki sighed again. “It’s getting late Tallulah let’s get to bed ok? I have to open the bakery early tomorrow.”

“I wanna meet my apa!”

“Tallulah.” There was an edge of warning to her voice.

“I could find my papa and they’ll be together!”

“No Tallulah.”

Tallulah looked up at her Tia. She looked mad. “Why not?”

“It’s not safe. I’m not letting you wander the human realm by yourself and I can’t leave my home. It’s not safe for me.”

“I can go to fairyland in an instant but the human realm isn’t safe?”

“Tallulah, I've told you the scary stories about the witches before the war.”

“But the war is over Tia! It’s safe now!”

“Some people still don't accept magic.”

“I won’t use my magic.”

“Flowers bloom in your footsteps.”

“I’ll wear boots!”

“No. You’re not leaving.”

“But Tia—“

“I said no Tallulah. Go to your room.” Tallulah felt herself being dragged upstairs. Magic. Tia Niki used her magic on her. When the door shut it locked. Tallulah hmphed. Maybe she could sneak out a window. Surely she could get a plant to grow enough to guarantee her a safe landing…

But she couldn’t open the window! Tia Niki used her magic to lock that!

She sat on her bed. Everything sucked. Tia Niki was so mean.

But she wasn’t really. Tia Niki was the sweetest.

Tallulah was just mad.

But she was allowed to be mad! Tia Niki was stopping her from meeting her apa!

But she was looking out for Tallulah. Like always.

But she really REALLY wanted to meet her apa.

She wondered what he’d be like.

He was hugging Papa Phil’s wings so he probably would like hugs.

He had bright purple eyes, and that was Tallulah’s favorite color. Her eyes were just a dull green, nothing special like apa’s eyes.

Apa wouldn’t be mean, right?

No. Apa would be the best. Papa is silly but he wouldn’t fall in love with a bad man. She was sure apa would be nice.

And so she started scribbling in her journal all of the fun things they would do together. Like going and growing pretty flowers and making the best tacos because papa sucked at making them.

She fell asleep without putting her hair up for the night. Just asleep on her journal that she left open.

“Tallulah, I’m sorry about last night, darling.” Tia Niki said brushing hair out of Tallulah’s face as she woke up. Tallulah yawned and slowly blinked open her eyes.

“I still want to go meet my apa.” She said quickly, shooting upright.

Niki sighed. “I know. And I thought about it. I can protect you with magic Lullah. But I’m warning you this is very serious. You have to take this seriously.”

“You’re saying yes?”

“With conditions.”

“I accept them. I’m going to see my apa!” Tallulah tried to pull off the covers but Niki quickly stopped her.

“No. Tallulah, this is serious. We’re having a conversation.” Tallulah pouted but she stayed and listened to what her Tia had to say. “First off you are going to use the fae clan soul bond thing and go directly to your papa. I don’t know how that works as well as I know magic but I know you can figure it out.”

“Directly to my papa and my apa. Yes.”

“I am going to put every protection spell imaginable on you.”

“Ok.”

“And you have to promise me to tie your tail around your waist and wear your boots until you meet your papa. You have to look like a normal human, just for safety.”

“I can cover up my tail but what about my wings?” Tallulah spread out her wings and she felt them shake before flapping, they were too weak for her to fly on yet but Papa said when they were strong enough he would teach her how to fly.

“I have a shawl you can wear to cover them, It’s the best I can do.”

“Really? I can go? You promise?”

“Yes sweetheart, I’ve already packed you a big bag full of food and everything you could possibly need.”

“Really?”

“You have spare clothes and everything, all you need is to be ready for today. I can style your hair so it won’t tangle as much.”

“Really?”

“I said yes Tallulah, don’t make me change my mind.”

“You’re the best Tia!” Tallulah jumped into her arms and hugged her tia tight.

“You also have to wear this necklace.” Niki held up a small necklace with a purple crystal. “It will allow me to see you from it, it’s a one-way scrying crystal. Doesn’t break the normal rules because you have to knowingly accept it.”

“I can’t contact you through it?”

“No, it’s too small for two-way conversation but it’s lighter than a large crystal and I can still see you to at least try and warn you somehow.”

“Ok, Tia.”

“Now let’s get you dressed, you want to look pretty to meet your apa right?”

“Yeah!” Tallulah jumped up and took off to her closet.

“Wear human clothes Tallulah, maybe a pretty dress so it’s easier to hide your tail.”

“I know Tia!” Tallulah quickly pulled out a light purple dress. It was flowy and it would be nice to travel in.

“What about this?”

Niki examined the dress. “It looks perfect darling. Let me get you a shawl and I can brush out your hair.”

Tia Niki left the room and Tallulah spun around in a circle.

Tia Niki wasn’t mad! She was letting her go meet her apa! Tallulah was so excited.

“Ok I’ve got a shawl, you’re going to have to cover your wings with this.”

Tallulah frowned but she agreed and pulled the black fabric over her blue-purple wings. “It feels itchy.”

“It’s the tiny hairs on your wings, remember you have to be careful with them. Moth wings are very delicate. I have a pin for you.” Tia Niki clipped the two ends of the shawl together with a pin of the clan crest.

“It’s the wisteria tree!”

“Your papa will know that I sent you if you show him this. Otherwise he’ll know you just ran away and he’ll get mad at both of us.”

“Got it.”

“Now let me brush out your hair sweetheart, the braids are coming undone.” Tallulah climbed into Tia Niki’s lap and let her undo the loose braids.

“Do you want one or two braids?”

“One please!”

“Amapolas braided into it?”

“No, I need to look human.”

“That’s true, good job Tallulah. Even I forgot about that.”

“See I can be responsible!”

“You can.” Tia Niki added a tie to the end and kissed the top of Tallulah’s head. “Let’s get you breakfast and then you can get going.”

She ran down the steps and sat at the table as Tia Niki grabbed her some scrambled eggs with toast.

“My big girl, going on an adventure. You’re going to make me cry.”

“No, don’t cry Tia!” She put a big bite of her breakfast in her mouth.

“I won’t. Until you leave.”

“Aww Tia. I love you.”

“I love you too Lullah.” Tallulah and her Tia ate breakfast in comfortable silence.

“You have the necklace?”

“Right here, Tia.”

“I packed your bag so that should be good. What’s left?” She paused. “Oh right, protection charms, give me a second.” Tia ran off to the witching room.

“This one is for safety, this one is for hiding you from evil, this one is for protecting you from backstabbers. This one is to keep you away from evil. This one is to get you to safety in case there's danger. Oh, and you have to remember to eat fae food if you get in trouble with a human and go straight back home.”

“I know Tia,” Tallulah said as she grabbed the armful of charms and trinkets from her tia.

“Which one is the fae food?” Tia Niki asked, checking to make sure she knew.

“The strawberry shortcake that you made from the big strawberry I grew yesterday.”

“Good girl.” Tia Niki sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. “I think that’s all.”

“I’ll miss you Tia,” Tallulah said, wrapping herself around her Tia.

“I’ll miss you too Darling. Please stay safe. I love you too much to see you hurt.”

“I will Tia. I love you too.” Tallulah made her way out the door with her heavy bag and started on the path.

“Wait Tallulah!” Tia Niki yelled, running to catch up to the small girl. “You forgot your boots. So you don’t grow poppies everywhere you go.”

Tallulah sighed. “Ok Tia.” she slipped on her boots. “I’ve got them now. I’ll be ok! I promise.”

“I love you Tallulah.” Tia Niki looked like she was about to cry.

“I love you too Tia Niki. You’re the bestest Tia. Don’t forget!”

And Tallulah made her way down the windy path of the small cottage Tia Niki lived in.

She reached out for her papa’s soul, its warmth. He was somewhere to the west. So west she would go!

It took a little over a moon to reach her papa. But she only slept a little bit and she managed to keep herself awake. After all she was going to meet her apa!

Slowly she could swear she was hearing voices.

She hid in a bush, what if it was bad humans?

“So you are awake?” That was her papa!

“Yes, idiot.” The voice was unfamiliar. But it held the same warmth of her papa. It must be apa!

“What was that?” Her apa asked.

“Probably a squirrel or something. Maybe Cielo.” Who was Cielo? A new changeling papa adopted?

“No, I'd know if it was Cielo.” Oh, probably not a changeling then.

This was Tallulah’s chance. She’d finally get to meet her apa!

She popped out from the bush. Oops, there were leaves in her hair. She had to make a good impression on her apa! She quickly pulled them out.

That was her papa! And he was holding onto apa! See Tallulah was right, they did love each other like she said!

“Hi Papa Phil! Is he my new Apa?” She blurted out.

Papa Phil started sputtering. Apa looked confused, he kept looking between the two of them.

Oh no. What was wrong? Did apa not know about her? Did she make a mistake?

Papa cleared his throat. “This is my daughter, Tallulah. Who’s supposed to be with her Tia Niki.”

“She said I could come visit! She gave me the pin!” She showed Papa Phil the crest.

He sighed. “We’ll talk about this later when we meet back up with your Tia, until then you can stay here with us.”

“Yay!” She ran up to him and gave him a big hug. “I missed you papa!”

🌟Random fun fact: The reason why I have "Eli" as a nickname is because I once said how I wanted to change my name to Elias, but didn't want to have the same name as a classmate, so my sister suggested shortening it to "Eli", so no, It's not because of my COTC obsession. The nickname "Bassie" came from my (ex-)friend trying to write "baddie", but she accidentally called me "bassie"...

Finally some Cuphead au art!

Along with some lore and fun facts!

For height differences

Cuphead Wally is a little shorter than original Wally he's a least 2ft

Mugman Barnaby is the tallest of them all he's at least 4ft

And Miss joyful is a few inches taller than Wally she's 3ft

Eddie devil dear and Frank Dicey are both 6ft

Howdy pillarind is 8ft

Elder partridge and Mrs beagle are 7ft

Sally starplay is 5ft

The joyful siblings are taller than Julie obviously! Franny is 6ft Jonesy is 8ft and Bea is 7ft

Eddie hates Wally but why? That dumbass overthrew him, violated their contract in the name of friendship, and is just annoying he wants to just snatch his soul but he can't there's something no someone protecting him? Who exactly you'll see sooner or later..not in this post ha ha

Before I continue here some fun facts

Julie was a rainbow monster because of course! they were a rare species often known for their shapeshifting abilities most famously their abilities to disguise themselves as cups such as a Chalice which were more advanced and high class cups due to being often referred as royalty they were unfortunately wiped out during the famous cup war at least that we know of

Wally and barnaby are both cups yes mugs count they are currently the last of their species that we know of because of this war

Elder partridge or Poppy partridge does know Julie but doesn't recognize her as a cup if she saw her as a ghost then she'd know her

Julie hates to be referred to as her actual name if your not her siblings so everyone knows her as Miss joyful

Howdy is probably a wanted criminal but you didn't hear that from me

Each rainbow monster has they're own set of abilities related to plants

Wally and Barnaby have powers they were born with them unlike in the original game where they drunk a potion

Wally is very clumsy and stupid

In this au Wally and barnaby are around 17-16 Miss joyful was 26 when she died they're relationships are ONLY ONLY platonic

Miss joyful and Sally starplay have a past relationship that ended bad

Howdy is a butterfly in this au!

Poppy and howdy were both in the same war as Julie and her siblings

Poppy and Mrs beagle are married in this au but historians will call them close friend's, besties, roommates, colleagues anything but lover's history hates lovers!

Oh and Wally doesn't actually have a nose that's a button he glued on himself he doesn't have eyebrows either

Yo wait before I forget finally I present howdy's design he takes the place of porkrind in this au!

Howdy pillarind

So he sells possibly illegal things to Cuphead and Mugman Wally and barnaby for their adventures like for a video game standpoint he would sell healing items, weapons and potions he does this for a living standpoint however rather than healing he would sell weapons, potions, or any illegal tool from fireworks, firearms and all that jazz to Wally and barnaby he doesn't have a permit for his bodega or anything he sells and he may or may not have been part of the war so yes he's a wanted criminal

Soo Why would I bring up the joyful siblings? Well congratulations I finally made a design for them in this au! They take the place of the three Mausoleums sorry the three joyful's

They're last names are still joyful after all!

And here's Julie's ghost design

Fun facts

Julie's abilities are mostly related to flowers much like Dandy carnation (see this post) she can grow and manipulate flowers for her bidding she can even talk to them all of the siblings can

Bea joyful being a healer her abilities are mostly mushroom related she can grow other herbs and plants for the making of healing and what not her mushrooms exploded if she threw them for attacking purposes

Franny's abilities were mostly related to trees and strength she could grow any tree and or throw them she was the strongest of the siblings

Jonesy could grow moss and other things such as vines or stuff you'd find in a swamp although he's quiet his magic was stronger than the rest of the siblings

See their horns are a reference for power Jonesy's being the biggest he was the strongest with his abilities Franny was second, Bea was third and between all of the siblings Julie was the weakest

TW: when talking about what happened to them and how they ended up in their position can get a bit heavy Soo I think some people would just wanna skip this part again I honestly don't know just a precaution mentions of war and death

Now the joyful siblings severed in the war with Julie and Poppy! Franny was in charge of coordinating, tracking, and planning out their attacks, Bea was the stealthiest of them all however when not getting called to missions she took care and fed the survivors of the war they could find, Julie and Jonesy would go out and fight Jonesy working with bombs and what not while Julie was more swords and spears! range and close combat basically

However much like all stories theirs came to an end presumably Bea was first

Bea got her eyes taken out which she survived but later in the week she was shot and killed in an ambush nobody saw coming

Devastated and felt like it was her fault Franny stopped sending Julie and Jonesy out of missions to protect them little did they know they had a rat on their team that tried to frame Jonesy by killing Franny with a bomb Jonesy name was cleared but Franny still died

Jonesy and Julie stook together through everything and they were doing well except Jonesy caught an illness and he didn't wanna worry Julie but she found anyways rather than receiving treatment Jonesy started getting worse and worse when Julie finally found medicine for Jonesy he'd had already past

Being the last sibling Julie was determined to finish what her siblings started and later earning the name as the legendary Julie joyful however after the war was over Julie was unfortunately killed by Eddie

When the joyful siblings finally reunited with each other they all found out they had the ability to change back into a cup, Chalice or whatever for a while or in their case with astral cookies (if you eat one a ghost will take the place of a living soul until they switch back out) they didn't want Julie to get hurt again so they trapped her in a vase it wasn't until Wally and Barnaby defeated the siblings and free Julie did the joyful siblings fail to protect her hence the delicious last course (Cuphead dlc)

Unlike the cuphead show the siblings can turn to ghost by their own free will she didn't sell her soul to the devil I hated how Chalice backstory was protrayed in the show

That's all I have for today don't forget to wave up and down!
