Boromir's favorite flower is the Gentiana Acaulis, also known as the Trumpet Gentian. Grown and foraged near the base of the White Mountains, their scent and soft petals remind him of a simpler time. Blue in color, as vibrant as the sky on a cloudless day, his fondest of memories were when surrounded by those Trumpet Gentians. Listening to the singing of his grandmother, Maerlith, filling baskets with Faramir to bring to their mother as a gift.

Present such a flower to Boromir, and he will be a man of great happiness, big smile and sparkling eyes.

The only people permitted to attend the wedding were Nightterror’s gang + Sigil and Digit. Nightterror made sure of that.

————————————————————————

I loved drawing this one and all its little details, it was just so much fun. I love Nightterror and his overly done regal garb, while Mocha and Stalker are pretty casual. Mocha didn’t want it to be a big deal, just something for them.

Day 2 Prompt: Something Old, Something New

More info and individual pictures under the cut

[Panel one: a back view of Nightterror at a three quarter angle to his right. He is adorned in a cape that covers his right shoulder with a suit and moon shaped cufflinks. His hands are raised above his head holding his original crown, about to put it on. “Something old…”]

[Panel two: a down view of Mocha’s left hand, an engagement band on his left ring finger. He is wearing a glove that covers his thumb with a loop on his middle finger, covering his wrist and arm. A skirt can be seen along with a wooden floor. “Something new…”]

[Panel three: a front view of Stalker’s chest and soul. He is wearing an unbuttoned suit jacket and a button down shirt, using his left hand to straighten a necktie, a target shaped cufflink adorning his sleeve. His target shaped soul has a section in the upper right that is glitching slightly. “Something borrowed…”]

[Panel four: three flowers are set out on the table. The flower furthest to the left is leaning on its side, with three large petals and two smaller petals in the back. It is labelled Lobelia erinus, commonly known as a Lobelia flower. The middle flower is sat facing front, with five petals of even size. It is labelled Plumbago auriculata, commonly known as a Plumbago flower. The flower furthest to the right is lying on its side facing inward, five large folded petals surrounding an internal funnel with foramina sticking out of it. It is labelled Gentiana acaulis, commonly known as a Gentiana flower. All the flowers, though uncolored, are blue in nature. “Something blue…”]

[Panel five: Nightterror, Mocha, and Stalker are stood together. Nightterror’s head is facing fully profile to his right, standing with his right arm tucked behind his back which is covered by his cape, holding Mocha’s right hand in waltz fashion in his left. His body is facing fully forward, stiffly. He is dripping with corruption, tentacles tucked so they remain unseen. His legs are crossed in a classic ballet fifth position. He is wearing a high collared suit and tie, his lobelia pinned to the right chest area of his suit coat. His original crown adorns his skull. His expression is neutral, eyeing Mocha with a faint blush, mouth downturned. He is the furthest to the left from audience view. Mocha is facing fully front in the center. He is wearing a short sleeved button down shirt with puffy sleeves and a high rounded collar underneath a strapped flowing dress, along with long fingerless gloves with a v cut connected by a loop to his middle finger and an area of fabric covering his thumb. He has a flower crown of periwinkles adorning his head and a plumbago pinned to the right chest area of his dress. His right hand is rested in Nightterror’s left, while his left hand is clasping Stalker’s right. His expression is giddy and excited while slightly nervous, looking up and forward with a soft smile and a blush. Stalker is facing 1/4th quarter his left, his head turned to look toward Mocha. He is wearing a button down loose collared shirt, a long untucked necktie, and an unbuttoned suit jacket, as well as a pair of suit pants. His target shaped soul is at the center of his chest, no longer glitching with the Gentiana pinned to the right chest area of his suit jacket. His left arm is bent as he has his left hand in the pocket of his pants, his right hand clasped with Mocha’s left. His expression is amused and somewhat empty, left eyebrow cocked, his smile sharp. His empty sockets are leaking with corruption. His left eye socket has a small crack toward his cheek, and he has a second crack coming down from the left corner of his mouth. “And a sixpence in your shoe.”]

Who is Nightterror? Nightterror is a version of Nightmare created and conceptualized by @/bobateaboo and myself, designed by myself. His storyline is very similar the original, with its own twists and turns to it. He’s unintentionally involved in project Ra by his brother, Daydream, and his on-again-off-again ex-partner, Dapple (the Ink of the AU).

Who is Nightterror’s Gang? Nightterror’s gang is similar to Nightmare’s gang with its main components: - Cleaver (the AU’s Horror) - Soot (the AU’s Dust) - Stalker (the AU’s Killer) Now, things get a little mixed up once we get on the subject of Cross. The original Cross of the AU was Sigil, but Daybreak (another variant of dream, a swap this time) took quite a liking to him and “exchanged” (forcibly took and replaced) him for his own AU’s Cross, a smaller, poutier version of Sigil. Digit (the AU’s Error) is not exactly a part of the gang, but he comes in and out.

Who is Mocha? Mocha is this AU’s version of Ccino!Sans. He follows the main concepts of the original AU, but strays a bit in personality and actions. He still owns his little cat cafe, he’s just got a completely different fleshed out story outside of his work.

This AU does not as of now have a Mimic!Sans. Mimic!Sans is used with the actual versions of the characters, not the nightterror and daydream versions.

I do not claim to have created the characters, just these versions of them and the ones @/bobateaboo has made

Dream and Nightmare were created by @/jokublog Killer was created by @/rahafwabas Dust was created by @/ask-dusttale Horror was created by @/sour-apple-studios or @/horrortalecomic Cross was created by @/jakei95 Ink was created by @/comyet or @/myebi Error was created by @/loverofpiggies

The fall brings beautiful foliage which offers some truly amazing photo opportunities; although no two seasons look exactly alike here! For instance, autumn’s bright oranges contrast with spring’s vivid greens or summer’s deep blues depending on where you are. It’s important to note that this also means some meadows close off due to cold temperatures during certain months of winter — so make sure you plan ahead if you’re looking for year-round access.

Okay! So, we’re going to get into the meanings of the flowers used in the Fluffynightkiller week comic! Because they are all significant to the story.

Mentioned before, Nightterror fell in love with floriculture, and has kept it as a long standign hobby. Every flower he picks out has a purpose.

On Day Two, there are three flowers shown, using their latin names: Lobelia erinus, Plumbago auriculata, and Gentiana acaulis. We’re going to get into the meanings of the flowers and how they relate to each character.

Nightterror wore the Lobelia erinus pinned to his suit. More commonly known as a Lobelia, the flower stands for arrogance and malevolence. This heavily correlates to much of his actions during his time corrupted, as well as the standard he held himself to as a “big bad”.

Stalker wore the Gentiana acaulis. It’s more common name is Gentiana, standing for beauty, charm, and passion. The flower was picked for him due to the nature of his personality, the way he can slyly get what he wants, but is still held to a high standard.

Mocha wore the Plumbago auriculata, as well as a flower crown of periwinkles. The Plumbago stands for hope and good wishes, while periwinkles stand for promise, support, nostalgia, and eternity. Mocha is a very loving and kind person, always optimistic and radiates a cheerful energy. Things have been difficult for him, but he’s made it through them and stays hopeful.

I’ll make a second part to explain the flowers seen on Day Four, Day Six, and Day Seven.

Stalker belongs to @bobateaboo Mocha and Nightterror belong to myself
