I was honestly so surprised that I’ve only seen one fanart of this scene?? It feels like something that could’ve been drawn a hundred times.

I love Amber so much.

I keep thinking about how, out of all the different versions of the Fool, she’s the one who gets to be the most emotionally open: She’s young and in love with Fitz, she has literal telepathic conversations with him every day for fifteen years, she does all these “foolish” things like creating a new face for Paragon, dreaming about a child and a family with Fitz when they become older. Yeah, she only said it out loud once — when she was just happy to see an old friend — and after that, she always called Bee Fitz’s daughter. And she kept stopping herself every time she got too close to that weird line between "my dear more than friend" and "it reminds me of Molly". And through all of it, she stayed so painfully alone. It’s just… heartbreaking.

Fitz said he didn’t like her — I forget what exact word he used, but honestly, whatever it was, he could’ve said the same about the Fool in general if he wanted to. Sure, he’s the most charming person in the world, but he’s also a manipulator, if he needs to be somewhere, he’ll get there, even if it means hijacking a ship full of hostages.

/Speaking of old friends — and one more thing that absolutely broke me — the dragons, yeah, they’re total assholes, but the way the dragons of the Paragon completely ignored Amber? You were jealous, you considered her your friend, and she was your friend, bringing you silver and all… Funny how, after becoming dragons, you just forgot about her ?

//I rarely write long texts — I have to double-check everything I write in English to make sure it’s still readable. But I have so many thoughts

Tumblr is super big on the "I didn't say it was good, I said I liked it" but really need to discover the value in its opposite of "I didn't say it was bad, I said I hated it".

You can acknowledge that something is good, great, a masterpiece even, and just straight-up not enjoy it.

i've seen posts about the juhannus tradition of picking 7 wildflowers and putting them under the pillow to meet a spouse in a dream. so what wildflowers are common in finland? like what flowers often get picked for juhannus

(just as a curious non-finn from a country that doesn't really celebrate midsummer but also as a flower lover)

Hello! Some common wildflowers at this time of the year include:

Mäkitervakko (commonly known as tervakukka, Lychnis viscaria, syn. Viscaria vulgaris, Silene viscaria), lemmikki (Myosotis), niittyleinikki (Ranunculus acris, syn R. "acer")

Ahopäivänkakkara (Leucanthemum vulgare), kissankello (Campanula rotundifolia), harakankello (Campanula patula)

Koiranputki (Anthriscus sylvestris), laidunpoimulehti (Alchemilla monticola), valkoapila (Trifolium repens)

Puna-apila (Trifolium pratense), ahomansikka (Fragaria vesca), niittynätkelmä (Lathyrus pratensis)

Depending on the year (how cold or warm it has been) some of these might have already bloomed by Midsummer or might bloom later.

Another one that you see a lot at this time of the year is komealupiini (Lupinus polyphyllus). This is an invasive plant in Finland.

While these are not commonly included in the bouquet for magic, another two iconic flower at this time of the year are keltakurjenmiekka (Iris pseudacorus) and juhannusruusu (Rosa spinosissima 'Plena').

For my Finnish followers, please feel free to add any common Midsummer flowers I might have forgotten about!

fitted sheet: *resentfully spits out a wad of 3 very damp dishtowels, a pillowcase, and a pathetically sodden washcloth*
