The Beatles, Flowers, and Love
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up for the dance
A white sport coat and a pink carnation
I'm all alone in romance
Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams
—A White Sports Coat (and A Pink Carnation)* (1957)
I send you flowers but you don't care
You never seem to see me standing there
I often wonder what you're thinking of
I hope it's me and love love love
—Hello Little Girl (1957)
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
—Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds (1967)
Find me in my field of grass
Mother Nature's son
Swaying daisies, sing a lazy song
Beneath the sun
—Mother Nature's Son (1968)
Songs that lingered on my lips excite me now
And linger on my mind
Leave your flowers at my door
I'll leave them for the one who waits behind
—Goodbye (1968)
Some call it magic
The search for the grail
Love is the answer
And you know that for sure
Love is a flower
You got to let it grow
—Mind Games (1970, 1973)
Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days I knew then
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre
—Mull of Kintyre (1977)
All through the summer, I have followed you around
Bringing a rose for the winter that's coming
Now the snow is on the ground...
Love awake to the day
When we can make our love awake
—Winter Rose/Love Awake (1978)
You want a love to last forever
One that will never fade away
I want to help you with your problem
Stick around, I say
Coming up, coming up, yeah
Coming up like a flower
Coming up, I say
—Coming Up (1979)
If you'll forgive me my little flower princess
Never too late unless you can't forgive
Time is on our side
Let's not waste another minute
'Cause I love you my little friend
I really love you
Give me just one more chance
And I'll show you, take up the dance
Where we left off
—Forgive Me (My Little Flower Princess)** (1980)
After hours
Late in the bar
By a darkened corner seat
Faded flowers wait in the jar
Till the evening is complete
—Take It Away (1981)
She sprinkles flowers in the dirt
That's when a thrill becomes a hurt
I know I'll never see her face
She walks away from my resting place
That day is done, that day is done
You know where I've gone
I won't be coming back
That day is done
—That Day Is Done (1988)

me personally i think using the excuse of “we used to have intellectual discussions and now we just talk about meaningless sexual stuff and that’s bland” while still making it a whole moral issue is so annoying? like girl there is a whole other byler polls account that also has meaningless polls and like there are still people creating art and making theories and all that shit,, like im sorrjy since when are we not allowed to have fun? since when are we not allowed to have silly headcannons that dont really mean anything in the sense of the actual show? that has always been apart of the tag girl. just say its not your cup of tea, like at the end of the day minors have sex and that sex is not vague?? like its so totally fine if you’re uncomfy reading smut or the polls make you imagine things that you dont want to immagine but turning that into an accusation of morality is what’s icky to me. like youre saying just because i dont like this thing and it makes me personally feel weird i am going to find a way to make you into a bad person for making me uncomfortable.

Another reason that A Miser Brothers' Christmas is inferior to A Year Without a Santa Claus is because they made Snow Miser the one to say "Thank you!" to his backup dancers during the song, taking this phrase away from Heat Miser. This small detail makes a big impact on their characters in the original movie. The way Heat Miser genuinely thanks his backup dancers serves to give him some positive characterization. Yeah, he's kind of a grouch, but at least he's down-to-earth, differentiating him from his charming but full-of-himself brother.

Getting close to the end of that list now, but for the February ficlets prompt:
a charmed one with their ex bf in an unexpected situation (gen, again dealers choice of who)
Pairing: Paige Matthews & Glen Belland
Background Pairings: Paige Matthews/Henry Mitchell & Glen Belland/Jessica Belland
"Paige!"
The call was loud enough that several people looked over in annoyance, but Paige couldn't have cared less. Glen swept her into a hug while she laughed against his shoulder.
It'd been ages since she'd seen him, and so much had happened since. He seemed to agree as he pulled back, hands on her shoulders, and demanded, "You faked your death?"
"I can explain!" Paige immediately exclaimed.
"And were working for Homeland Security? When did that happen? And-" Finally noticing Henry standing behind Paige, he furrowed his brow and nodded towards him. "And whose that?"
Stepping back, Paige couldn't help her uncharacteristically shy smile as she introduced him. "Henry, this is Glen, my best friend. Glen, this is Henry. My husband."
"What?" Glen squawked.

A little spoiler of what I got going on for the next chapter of An Ice Toa But Human rewrite (cut is there for those who don't wanna read it if spoilers)
The silence in the air was heavy as they processed how confused Mata Nui was at his own powers.
"Well it seems to be going better for you than me with this shadow stuff." Sapphira said breaking the silence, leaning a bit as the others stared at her.
However, the leaning was unsteady even for a teenage prima ballerina causing Sapphira to fall with a squeal and flailing arms trying to regain her balance to no avail.
But instead of hitting the ground Sapphira's body disappeared in almost a cloud of black smoke and merged into the shadows.
"SAPPHIRA!" "KID?!" "WHAT THE PLUDE?!" "OKAY THAT'S NOT NORMAL!"
The five were shocked and scared to a various degree along with various worries (from Ackar, Kiina and Mata Nui), more shocked than scared (from Gresh), and vice versa (from Berix) which wasn't exactly helping the situation.
A shadowy figure sat up rubbing their head as plumes of dark shadow left their person similar to how steam would leave boiling waters surface into the cool air. One eye cracked open showing it was a dark violet purple in color. "Owww, that actually hurt like a bitch." Sapphira's voice came from the figure.
"Sapphira?!" The five asked in sync. "Yeah that's my name, don't wear it out, what's-" The said bluette cut herself off noticing her form change making her scream bloody murder.
"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ME?!" Sapphira panicked, gripping at her whispy shadow head.
