If a character to mine were to make/get a bouquet of Heliotrope, Amaranth, Dogwood, Laurestine, Jonquil, Milk vetch and yellow lilies, what would it mean?
That’s quite specific, let’s see what they mean and what message your character might get from this.
amaranth – immortality
amaranth (globe) – immortality, hope in misery, unfading love
dogwood – love diminished by adversity, durability
heliotrope – devoted attachment, I love you, intoxicated with pleasure, devotion, devoted affection, infatuation, faithfulness
jonquil – desire, affection returned, I desire a return of affection, love me, sympathy
laurestine – I die if neglected, delicate attentions, a token, cheerful in adversity
lily (yellow) – coquetry, falsehood, gaiety, I am walking on air, false, gay, gratitude
milk vetch – your presence softens my pain(s)
What exactly that translates to now is rather subjective, but certainly a message of strong emotions strongly related to love.

pleasee mean!rafe x virgin!reader where it’s reader’s first time and rafe eventually becomes nice and caring after he sees that it’s hurting her?
I kind of twisted this around a bit… not really though..
In your defence you hadn’t meant to get this far without telling Rafe you’re a virgin, it just all happened so fast you couldn’t even process it.
you’d only been dating for a few weeks, and so you hadn’t really had the chance. you’re regretting not telling him now that it’s too late, and he’s got you face down ass up with your hands pinned together.
this does not feel right in the slightest. you’re close to crying, letting out small whimpers that are unfortunately not being interpreted right on rafe’s part.
it’s only when you feel the head of his cock pushing into your entrance, the stretch from just that hurting you immensely, that you blurt it out. “Rafe stop!” you pull yourself forward to get out of his way.
he sits up, pulling his hands off of you and holding them up in an act of defence. he looks confused, trying to figure out what he did wrong. you flip over to look up at him, “I’m a virgin.” you state, grimacing at the abruptness of your own sentence.
his eyebrows shoot up instantly “oh- oh omg god!” he stands up, picking up his boxers and putting them on so as to give himself some modesty. “you were just gonna let me have sex with you like that? shit baby I would’ve done you in.”
you look down when he comes to sit next to you, demeanour softening when he sees you need it, and arm wrapping round your shoulders to pull you close. “I didn’t know it was gonna hurt s’much…”
he sighs, “I’m sorry baby. didn’t mean to hurt you.” he rubs your back, giving you a bit of a cuddle that he can tell you need. he makes sure you’re okay before speaking.
“okay not to be vain or anything but have you seen my dick? you expected that to fit in you with no preparation?” he speaks, making sure to look at you attentively. you giggle slightly, but nod “I mean… I didn’t know what to expect…”
“right,” he sighs. “I’m not mad at you.” he emphasises “but you need to communicate with me when we’re having sex, m’gonna let you off now cause you didn’t know. but promise you got that?”
“yeah… got it…” you snuggle into his side “do we have to just stop now or can we do somethin’?” you can feel the smirk without even looking.
“course we can do somethin’…”

Alan Rickman, David Thewlis, Gary Oldman and all those are iconic in their roles in Harry Potter, but I’ll always be a bit sad about that casting, because having that ‘Marauders era’ cast be age appropriate would’ve just been so much better for the story.
Sirius wasn’t this old man who spent 12 years in Azkaban, no he got locked up at 21. He spent almost third of his life in a cell. He wasn’t this wise father figure to Harry, he was a reckless thirty-something who never really got the chance to mature past 21.
Remus was an exhausted, bone deep tired man carrying both physical and mental scars from the suffering he went through. Because he’s a werewolf, because of the war, because he lost all of his friends. And he’s only 33 when first introduced.
And Snape. Snape wasn’t an old bitter man who just hated everyone and enjoyed being antagonistic. He was 31 in Harry’s first year. He began to work for Voldemort as a teen, and as a double agent at 20. He’s a thirty-something bitter man, who never got to really live or make real connections. From Harry’s perspective he’s scary and intimidating, but really he’s just kinda…sad and pathetic. And then especially that scene where Snape is begging Dumbledore to help save Lily, and promising anything in return. (Because apparently Dumbledore needs something in return…for saving people.) He’s twenty. Barely out of his teens. Rickman was good in that scene, but having someone who actually looks twenty, would better show how scared, young, guilty and just desperate he was. That might not put Dumbledore in such a good light, though.
And then, the characters I think would’ve been the most important to cast age appropriately. And most people probably already agree and know who I’m talking about. James and Lily. They were 21 when they died. When Harry sees them in the mirror of Erised, they’re 10 years older than him. That’s the age difference Ron has with Bill. In that scene I might understand somewhat them being in their thirties, because that’s what Harry wants. He wants his life with his parents, he wants to have been raised by them. Though, I don’t know if the mirror could know what they might’ve looked like in their thirties, since they didn’t live that long. But then, in the cemetery when Voldemort’s wand spits the last spells cast, we see Lily and James as they were. 21. They’re telling their son to hold on just a moment longer. And they are 7 years older than him. In Deathly Hallows, Harry sees Voldemort kill them. They’re not this happy couple who’s got to love each other for a long time, only to have that happiness torn from them, no they started at Hogwarts ten years ago. They’re 21, and they’ve barely tasted that happiness. At the end of the book Harry talks to his parents. They comfort him and promise to stay with him, as he goes to die. Harry’s seventeen. James and Lily are four years older than him.
It wouldn’t have felt as nice. Harry being comforted by someone who looks almost his age. But it wasn’t nice. It was pretty tragic. Casting people who look 21, would’ve really made it land on the audience. It was a tragedy. They were barely adults.

Um hi there, I hope ya don't mind me popping in the ask box, but I have at least 3 question regarding flowers and I hope that you can answer them please. My questions are as follows, # 1:what are the meanings behind Black and White Roses? #2: what is the meaning behind sunflowers and Lillies (and the possible colors that lillies can come in?) And finally, what are the types of flowers that can be found within the French countryside or near the water in France? Thank you so much for taking the time to read all this! (And apologies if this is crazy long and misspelled.)
hOf course not! We’re happy to see you more than once! Let’s see what we can do for you. One thing we can already say however is that there is no meaning for black roses, but that just means that one could be made up for your story. There are no meanings because black roses don’t exist. We’ve gotten very close with dark reds, but those are much more recent developments, so they wouldn’t appear in Victorian Flow Language, or any traditional flower language that’s not contemporary.
