Silvans send messages using flower language. I’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.
Imagine Sam and Legolas sending each other bouquets of flowers after the quest, and everyone’s either delighted at their friendship or low key worrying that there’s an affair going on.
Turns out they’re shit talking and gossiping with each other in flower.
Sam: *receives an intricate bouquet *
Sam’s daughter: wow, it’s so pretty papa! Who ever sent you this must like you a lot!
The bouquet: Gimli and Aragorn got into a drinking competition again and lost. Badly. I got so much money.
The rest of the questers eventually catch on and it leads to things like this:
Gimli: *pissed off* *storms into Legolas’s study* *slams hand down* how do i passive aggressively say “fuck you” in flower?
Legolas: *vibrating with excitement* My Time Has Come.

Yellow blooms & violet thorns
Amidst a sea of golden dreams we danced, our love a tapestry woven in sunlit hues. But beneath the weight of disillusion, we found ourselves adrift in a garden of thorns, where the once vibrant petals whispered tales of bitter truths

Jenny of oldstones
I found an old piece for Jenny that I never posted! She is one of my absolute fav characters her story is so sad but it’s still beautiful. In my notes for it the flowers in her hair are representative of madness, undying love, love, grief, consuming love, and sorrow.

💐 / sherliam, flower language
when married to a guy whose mind palace only stores flowers with poison/medicinal value
I recently got a book, “Floriography: An Illustrated Guide to Victorian Language of Flowers” and it was fun applying it here! I imagine Liam knows Sherly doesn’t really bother to remember flower language, so incorporates Sherly’s knowledge of poisons/medicinal herbs for the fun of it!
