hi! im a bit puzzled about the difference between a stamen and a pistil. are you able to explain it? sorry if this is annoying !

don't worry! i love explaining things hehe (i copy-pasted the wiki explanation for pistilverse to the original post here)

each human is born as a "calyx" and will remain a calyx until their first menarche/menstrual cycle or first nocturnal emission/wet dream. at that point they experience an "awakening" and turn into a "pistil", identified tattoo-like mark on their back in the shape of a bare tree/branch/vine. a "stamen" will have a specific flower, and if the pistil and stamen have sex, the stamen's flower will bloom on the pistil's plant tattoo. some humans never experience "awakening" and go through their whole life as a "calyx"! there's also sub-categories of "stamens" such as "venom stamens" who have poisonous flowers and can "bond" with their pistils via poisoning them with their venom. the wiki is here if you want to read more on it!

i don't have a lot of interest in this "trope" or "verse" hdfjdjf but i think it's a cool concept. i hope that cleared it up for you!
