i got yo flower
the flower message meme
Flowers, for thousands of years, have been a popular way to communicate with someone else—especially if the message had to be secret. Most popular in the Victorian Era, it was at that time that flower meanings expanded to more than just apologies or expressions of love. They could now also contain warnings, silently break off an engagement (worse than text messaging someone), or have symbolic meaning in stories and paintings.
While it is no longer used as much, everyone remembers the more popular flower meanings and some delight in discovering the little-known ones. So, go to a florist and create a special bouquet for a loved one. Hopefully it’s for Valentine’s Day not National Break Up Day.

prompts
1. POMEGRANATE ❀ fertility
Having a baby can be a stressful, happy, amazing, scary time. Were you expecting one? Was it an utter surprise?
2. FERN ❀ shelter
Sometimes our lives can get turned upside down. It’s never fun when things fall apart, but hopefully, you can find someone who can help you out for a bit.
3. HOLLY ❀ domestic happiness
Everyone talks about the wedding and honeymoon, but what about life after? Hopefully for you, it’s full of bliss and joy. Or lots of good makeup sex.
4. WHITE ANEMONE ❀ sincere
Sometimes people get the idea that lying is a habit of yours and that you’re not meant to be trusted. But when lives or hearts are on the line, you have to prove your sincerity somehow. Good luck. I advise grand, insane feats of bravery.
5. IRIS ❀ good news
What is good news for one person can be bad news for someone else. Did you win a contest? Is the war finally over? Did you pass a class? Hopefully everyone is happy or you can deal with the fallout.
6. RED ROSE ❀ love
Nothing says ‘I love you’ like a bunch of red roses. Be careful, though—fifteen roses can mean an apology, a congratulations is expressed with twenty-five, and a single rose is traditional for a first date and ‘love at first sight’.
7. BAMBOO ❀ strength, loyalty
While it might be unusual for those in the West, bamboo is a common symbol in the East. Enduring winters and harsh mountains, bamboos make a wonderful gift when you want to say thank you and acknowledge someone’s hard work and loyalty.
8. YELLOW CAMELLIA ❀ longing
Ah, the beauty of love you cannot express or the tragedy of wanting justice for a wrongdoing… or the craving for ice cream when all of the stores have closed. Longing comes in all shapes and sizes. What do you crave?
9. SPIDER LILY ❀ never to meet again
The Spider Lily has a tragic tale of separated lovers not being able to keep their promise of reunion. Now it’s your tale! What caused you to break your promise? Why were you separated in the first place? Can you ever have a happy ending?
10. DAISY ❀ innocence
Misunderstandings are some of the worst things someone can go through with another person. In this case, you are innocent of something—a crime? Cheating? How can you prove your innocence and regain trust you lost?
11. BLUEBELL ❀ humility
Someone has decided to put you in your place. Were you getting too popular too quick? Were the people liking you better than the current king? Have you just been rebelling lately and causing up trouble? Get ready to become modest.
12. GARDENIA ❀ secret love
Secret admirers! Crushes! Were you sent a mysterious valentine? Were you made to give someone a love letter? Are you trying to find the right words to say to someone? What do you think would happen if someone were to reveal your secret?
13. FOUR LEAF CLOVER ❀ luck
Clover is supposed to bring you good luck—and you’re going to need it. Bad luck of some sort seems to keep following you. Are you under a curse? Did you break a mirror? Piss off a vengeful spirit? Best wishes…
14. LAVENDER ❀ failure
Who would have ever guessed that you would have failed? You were so sure, so confident that everything would go your way. Maybe a hero wannabe thwarted your plans. Maybe you lacked conviction. Either way, you’ve got to deal with it now.
15. ORANGE LILY ❀ revenge
Revenge is a dish best served cold. Revenge is like a plume of smoke. Oh, who cares? Someone has wronged you somehow and you want to return the favor.
16. GLADIOLUS ❀ bravery
Everyone has to stand up and fight for something, and it is not always easy. Is it to a best friend? Is it to an oppressor? Is it to your own fears and insecurities? Have heart, because they can take away your lives, but they can never take away your freedom!
17. DAFFODIL ❀ unrequited love
Love is a fickle thing at times, or sometimes, it is pretty firm in its choice. Sadly, the one you set your eyes on does not feel the same at all… Or perhaps you are the one rejecting.
18. TUBEROSE ❀ dangerous pleasure
You are in love—with someone you should not be with at all. Be it enemies or they’re too old or it would cause scandal if you were caught, digression and caution is needed. Good luck to keeping your secrets and hopefully it won’t always be this way.
19. ORCHID ❀ unity
People fight over the silliest of things, from love to freedom to the last slice of cake. Everyone focuses on the actual fight, though, and forget that making up and forgiving one another is the hard part! Can you make things right again? What will you do to express your sincere apologies? Or is it all a big, fat lie?
20. BURDOCK ❀ do not touch me
An odd thing for a flower to mean, isn’t it? But then again, touch can mean all sorts of things. Maybe you’re horribly sick and don’t want to spread it. Maybe you really don’t want someone touching you anymore. Or you want them out of your life, no matter what it takes.
21. WHITE TULIP ❀ forgiveness
Someone has done something awful and you’re struggling with forgiving them or at least moving past it. Can you ever find peace? Or will you continue to hold this grudge?
22. CHRYSANTHEMUM ❀ death
Death is a sad but inevitable part of life—it’s the way that it happens that makes headlines. Perhaps you are the survivor of an accident, or you killed someone, or you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one. Maybe you’re the one just about to pass on…
23. CHERRY BLOSSOM ❀ beauty
Goodness, who can resist having a crush every once in a while? There is no harm in adoring someone who is drop dead gorgeous or beautiful in another way. Question is, are you ever going to confess?
24. FLYTRAP ❀ deceit
Deceit can come in all shapes and forms: it can lead a country to ruin, destroy carefully laid plans, help you win a rigged game, or turn out to be a wonderful surprise. If you don’t accidentally give it all away.
25. WILDFLOWER ❀ pick your own
There are thousands of flowers out there! Dozens to choose from. Some even have different meanings if you ask different people. Time to pick your own or roll again!

GOOD LORD WHY WOULD ANYONE FORGIVE HER
[ is that all you have to say, nui. really.
no, she does get up to her feet, as unruffled as ever, arms wide open. ]
Happy September 28th!
i don't know rng is a little shit
[She finds herself speechless as she decides to put down her weapon, shrinking it down to its smaller size as she places it back into her pocket. Any hostility that she had prior to this conversation is kind of gone now, and even though at this point Senketsu's probably yelling her for it, she's ignoring it for the time being as she brings her hand up in a wave.]
Yo. Happy... September 28th to you, too.
[Ryuko finds herself rather confused but rather calm, which is kind of weird to her, honestly. but she can deal.]
A- Anyway. I wanted to say something to you. [And she takes a deep breath--] I won't ever like you, but I can forgive you.
[WHAT]
no subject
uh. ]
...what?
[ NO, REALLY, WHAT??? ]
no subject
[Ryuko's following suit, just staring awkardly with her mouth agape. This was not as planned, abort, abort--]
I'm sorry, should I have said something else?
