#Writeblr Communty

[author-a-holmes]

Hi detective

Your ocs are now flowers in a bouquet. Tell me about it/them.

I'm going to do some fast googleing on the Victorian Language of Flowers to answer this ask, but since I'm not particularly confident in my googling powers, I'm going to put the meaning I've found under each one as well. So potential... hints? of spoilers? beneath the cut :D

From Fey Touched there's...

Lizzy Hail: Brugmansia aka Angel's Trumpet

Vivacity, vibrancy, health, danger. The flowers which grow on the brugmansia are part of the nightshade family, meaning that they have slightly toxic properties. Because of their size and unusual shape, the angel's trumpet represents vivacity and vibrancy.

Booker Reed: Queen of the Night

"Enjoy small moments because they do not last". The symbolic character of the epiphyllum is its short flowering time, therefore, people commonly used the blooming epiphyllum as a metaphor for how good things don't last. On the other hand, because of this rarity, it's also a sign of luckiness for those who see its bloom.

Andric Roche: Protea

The primary symbolic meanings of the protea flower are strength, courage, and resilience since the plant survives in extreme climate conditions. Proteas also symbolize diversity, due to the hundreds of variations in color and shape found within their genus.

Cara Evelyn: Pansy

"Thoughtfulness, remembrance, you occupy my thoughts". Pansy flowers are known to symbolize several things, including love, affection, free thinking, and happiness. The pansy's heart-shaped petals and bright, bold colors are often associated with love and affection, and the flower is often given as a gift to express these sentiments.

Mia Harris: Morning Glory

"Love in vain; affection". Morning glories have symbolized love that was never returned, but have also been seen as a sign of undying love.

Nameer Khatri: Violets

Violets signify wisdom, loyalty, hope, and faithfulness. Giving someone a violet let's them know that you'll always be there for them.

From The Stolen Stories there's...

Stella Korazon: Aster

In Victorian culture, the aster represents daintiness, patience, and charm. Aster meanings include love and wisdom. With a rich history in Greek mythology, it’s said that the aster was created by the tears of the Greek goddess, Astraea. One day, she was so upset by how few stars there were in the dark sky, that she began to cry. As she wept, her tears fell to the ground and turned into star-shaped aster flowers. Thus, the flower was named after her, with aster meaning star.

Reilly Mosswolf: Sunflowers

Sunflowers symbolise loyalty, adoration, a long life and lasting happiness, also good fortune and positive opportunities. Sunflowers symbolize unwavering faith and unconditional love.

Eryn Mosswolf: Purple Hyacinth

Purple hyacinths can symbolize multiple things, including sorrow and a desire for forgiveness. The fragrant purple blooms could be a way to let others know you're thinking about them after a death in the family.

Dara Brookor: Zinnia

While zinnia has many different meanings, it is usually associated with friendship, endurance, daily remembrance, goodness, and lasting affection. Zinnias are one tough bloom! Zinnias also symbolize a “joyous endurance.” They are happy to bloom in the steaming heat of summer and really any other trials it encounters, such as drought and bugs, yet they never fail to produce vibrant, beautiful blooms!

Tanar Orinan: Gladiolus

The gladiolus flower typically symbolizes honor and remembrance, but it has many other meanings too such as: Strength of character. Faithfulness, sincerity, and integrity.

Myris Orinan: Blue Daisy

Blue daises have a meaning of long-term loyalty and trust so you can send them to a friend, a long-term partner or a family member who you care very much for. These daisies are pretty rare to find but not impossible.

Nillion Kurez: Dahlia

Finding inner strength, graceful, dignity and commitment. Also embracing positive changes. Some colours of Dahlia display negative connotations including instability or dishonesty. Dahlia make good gifts for someone you admire or percieve as a strong person.

Indre Larieth: Rhododendron

Victorians sent the flower as a warning or with the meaning of ‘beware.’ It was commonly used to indicate that you were worried someone was making the wrong choice, especially when dealing with potential romantic partners.

Lauralai Morten: Cypress

Signifies death, mourning, and despair. In the language of flowers, cypress flowers may also stand for eternal love, memories of past love, or even unrequited love in vain.

im curious so.... random poll time!

what genres do you find yourself writing in unintentionally? like what do you gravitate to whenever you start a story?

also if i didnt include a genre, rb and put it in the tags. (btw i didnt include fanfiction because i feel like most fanfic also fit into these genres)

if u want, rb so there's a higher sample size

Hi detective

For storyday, tell me about the most normal story you've ever written and the most outlandish. According to you, I mean.

Hello Sleepy <3

You have always have the best questions!

Most of my stories are outlandish in some way because that's the fascination of Fantasy writing to me, but for my most normal story I'm going to go way back to the first story I ever remember writing to completion.

I would have been.... oh... 9 or 10 years old and it was for a school project. We were only allowed one A4 sheet of paper, and I ended up using two (Forshadowing for my over-writing tendancies, and my love of 150k novels :D) but it was called "Rosie the Rabbit Goes on an Adventure" and it was about a Rabbit that escaped her run in the garden and, well. It's in the title. I think I had her cross a road and escape into a nearby field but I don't actually remember for certain.

As for my most outlandish...

This feels tougher to answer because while Fantasy is by it's nature outlandish, that kind of makes me feel like none of my works particularly are, within the context of a fantasy world lol. Possibly, I feel my most outlandish, was a childrens book I wrote as a Birth-Day gift to my best friend for her new daughter. (@faelanvance I'm talking about it again <3)

I took the basic premise of "An Ugly Duckling", where an animal grows up believing it's different and later finds out that what they thought made them different is actually perfectly normal in a different setting. And then I combined it with an Icelandic legend I found of a "Fire Fox". The firefox is a black furred fox and, legend has it, when it runs across the ice and snow it's tail sends up sparks which create the aurora borealis.

I enjoyed combining a classic fable with an obscure (to me, I don't know how obscure it is in Iceland!) legend, and it's created a little 50-page childrens story that feels different and fresh and... a bit outlandish, I guess :D

It contains enough "surprising-to-the-characters" magic and fantasy to feel a bit outlandish in the context of a childrens book, where magic and fantasy tend to be assumed as a normal part of the fictional world.

good morning.

you wake up to sunlight pouring in through an open window, letting the summer breeze drift in. you fell asleep holding hands with them, the person who knows you better then anyone else. the one that loves you best. you rise from bed, tucking the thick blanket back over them. you softly walk into the kitchen, which smells faintly of the dinner you cooked last night for your chosen family. a basket of peaches was brought as a thank you, and you rinse one off in cool water, biting deep into it. the juice drips down your chin as you lean over the sink, perfectly half awake as you slip into a bliss that will last for longer then a season. you hear them wake up, and slip into the kitchen. arms fold around your waist, a gentle head resting against your chin as golden sunrise hits you both.

it is sunday, it is beautiful, and there is no where else you need to be here. this is your home.

Hey y'all I could use some help with a setting!

I'm writing a fairytale retelling of the frog prince. I originally thought of it as a stand alone, with a cute cottagecore setting, but the more I was writing, I realized I wanted it to be a series, with unique worlds for each individual retelling. Ex-an ice kingdom, a floating city...

My problem is, I'm too attached to the original setting, but it no longer fits the overarching uniqueness of the series.

Any suggestions for a new setting? I need it to allow travel, as our heroes go on an epic quest across the kingdom to break the frog curse.

Anything helps! Thank you!
