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!

[She stops when she hears the question.

Before she walks away even faster, face and ears burning red.]
shecanfly: (Shock)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Kageyama! Come back!

[Hinata's turn to run after Kageyama!]
courtqueen: (I)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She would run but she also really wants to keep the flower intact- so it's easy to catch up.]

You can't make me!

[Despite what she says.]
shecanfly: (Shock)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She does! She tugs on the back of Kageyama's jacket to halt her.]

Really?? You really like me? Why? I don't get it! And... I'm a girl!
courtqueen: (I)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Once Hinata catches up to her, and tugs, she stops and slumps a bit.]

Because... because you're you! You're bright and cheerful and cute and athletically gifted and I like playing volleyball with you and you want to win as much as I do and you're just- you're just amazing, okay?!

[There might be a little wheezing once she's done with the extremely incomplete list of why she likes Hinata.]
shecanfly: (Shock)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
W-wha...

[And Kageyama likes her because of that stuff??]

And, and I'm not stupid, you mean like as in you wanna hug me and kiss me and stuff?? Just for that stuff??
courtqueen: (J)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
W- What do you mean by just!? I like everything about you, even when I think you're being an airheaded dumbass. And- And that's exactly what I mean!

[Her face is the exact shade of red as the rose in her hands, but she's stubbornly staring Hinata down now.]
shecanfly: (WEEEEHHH)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Wha... wha... wha...

[Whoaaaa...]

M-my first confession...!

[With a girl!! Mostly because boys don't really like really sports-obsessed sweaty girls, but.]
courtqueen: (G)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[well that's those dumb boy's loss, isn't it?

but kageyama just stares at Hinata in confusion.]


... That can't be right. Somebody else must have confessed to you. You're you!
shecanfly: (WEEEEHHH)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
No waaaay...

[No one would.]

I'm so happy...! I'm so confused!!
courtqueen: (G)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
You can't be happy and confused, just pick one!
shecanfly: (WEEEEHHH)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
I can't!! It's too much!

[She wants to cry again.]
courtqueen: (I)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
What the heck, Hinata!? Don't start crying!

You can't be happy, sad and confused! I don't have tissues!
Edited 2014-09-28 05:38 (UTC)
shecanfly: (WEEEEHHH)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what to do!

[She rubs her face, doing her best to keep the watering down.]
courtqueen: (G)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what to do either!

[Other than to turn around and guide Hinata back to the bathroom to clean her up again.]
shecanfly: (Why are you staring at me)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[When Kageyama's hand moves to grab Hinata, Hinata grabs that hand with hers. Kageyama likes her. Like, a lot! And yeah her heart was pounding all doki doki, but did she like Kageyama too?]

I don't get it...
courtqueen: (G)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She's startled the second Hinata grabs her back, heart pounding in her chest.]

... What aren't you getting?
shecanfly: (Why are you staring at me)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
How do you know? When you like someone, when do you realize that?
courtqueen: (F)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
... I only know how I figured it out. It was um, it was back during the three on three match. When you said you'd take any toss.
shecanfly: (Hey!)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
Really? That's...

[Weird? Maybe? But she did feel pretty gratified when Kageyama finally tossed to her, and she finally got to spike. Was that rush really what it felt like to like someone?]

What did you feel?
courtqueen: (F)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Warm and kinda fuzzy? My stomach was doing weird flips, but I also felt like I could take on the world. And I... I really wanted to be with you for as long as possible.

[She squeezes Hinata's hand in hers.]
shecanfly: (Blind faith)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[That didn't sound too different than what she felt. At least, later on.]

You said "as long as I'm here, you're invincible."

[That was the point... Hinata draws a breath, squeezing her eyes shut like she did to spike Kageyama's best tosses.]

I felt like I really could grow wings and fly higher than anyone else, after that. Is that really the feeling of... of l-lo--liking someone?
courtqueen: (G)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Then I started liking you a lot sooner.

[She's silent for a moment, looking down at where their hands are connected.]

I... I think that's what it feels like for you.
shecanfly: (WEEEEHHH)

[personal profile] shecanfly 2014-09-28 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno if I wanna kiss you and stuff... I-I mean, I never even thought about it, not even a little, so I dunno...
courtqueen: (F)

[personal profile] courtqueen 2014-09-28 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
That's, um, that's fine! It's not like I was expecting to kiss you anyway! Or you to like me or whatever!

[Her face is burning.]

As long as we're still teammates and can work together fine, I'm okay with anything!
