If you had to give a colour to everyone/MC in eight, what colours would they be? And flowers if you’re interested in that! 🌸🔸🔹🔻▪️◽️

Hmmm, that’s a really interesting question actually!

(long post, i got really into it lmao)

Sakura: King Protea and Purple

The King Protea symbolizes change and transformation, daring and resourcefulness, courage and diversity. It has a lot to do with Sakura and her journey from the Akatsuki to Konoha and back again, and a lot of Sakura’s issues stem from being brave enough to stand up for everyone she loves and being brave enough to change from what she was raised to be. Proteas were also named after Proteus, the son of the sea god Poseidon, so that’s extremely fitting considering who her father is. Purple is the color of royalty and also a sign of transformation, but also of mystery and cruelty. Sakura is a lot of things, and sometimes mysterious and cruel fit her perfectly.

Kiba: Gladiolus and Red

The Gladiolus flower is named for the shape of its leaves and symbolizes strength and moral integrity. Kiba is most definitely the most morally upstanding of his pack and the one who gets hit the hardest in the general sense. His outbursts in Orochimaru’s Lab and when they found out the truth of the Uchiha Massacre were proof of that, and it took all his strength to walk away from the Inuzuka when he picked pack over them. Red is anger and passion and aggression, and Kiba is easily controlled by his emotions and his drive to do the right thing.

Shino: Edelweiss and Brown

Edelweiss was the flower to give to your loved ones, though it wasn’t an easy flower to obtain. There were stories of men falling from icy ledges and snowy peaks trying to collect them and bring them back to the ones they loved. These flowers represent strength, bravery, and love, and there’s nothing Shino wouldn’t do for the pack he loves. It’s most notable when he stood up for his team during the Chuunin Exams, standing in front of Orochimaru and telling the man he would do anything for Sakura and Kiba and Akamaru. And he’d lost an eye for it, but he doesn’t hold any regret. Brown is more of the color symbolizing what Shino wants in life: warmth, foundation, wholesomeness, security. It’s what he strives for and what he desires most, for him and all of his loved ones to stay safe and warm.

Akamaru: Lavender and Orange

Lavender is the flower of silence, devotion, caution, grace. There’s the obvious language barrier between Akamaru and most of his pack even though he can understand every word that they say, but it doesn’t matter to him that they can’t understand him. Dogs, I think, are those companions that are always filled with love. And as long as they know you know that, there’s not a lot that they ask for. Orange is the color of energy and balance and warmth and a demand of attention; like I said, Akamaru is a dog. Even if he’s intelligent and trained and learned fear and revulsion from his month and a half at the Coliseum, at the end of the day, its pack that matters to him.

Tenzo: Anemone and Indigo

The Anemone is sort of a tragic flower. Its darker tones are ones of fading hope and the feeling of being forsaken, and hadn’t that been most of Tenzo’s life? He was an experiment who’d forgotten his name and the only one of his batch to survive. He was a tool for Orochimaru, for Danzo, for the village, and didn’t think much more than that. But Anemones also symbolize anticipation and excitement, and that’s pinpointed the moment Team Eight stepped into his life. These were kids who would remember his name and who he would come to care for; these kids had seen the truth and extended their hand, and he’d taken it. Not to mention the love he’d come to share with Kurenai because of this chance meeting. Indigo is the color of devotion, justice, and wisdom. He was first introduced as a character who justice forgot, and came to be someone wholly devoted to Team Eight.

Kurenai: Moss and Pink

Moss most certainly isn’t a flower, but that doesn’t mean it has any less meaning. Moss is symbolic of maternal love, and Kurenai is a strong kunoichi who time and time again had been shown to see Team Eight as her own kids. Of course she’s not infallible and her biggest mistake had been when she walked away because she couldn’t bare to see her own children die, but could you blame her? Everything she’d ever known had been turned on its head when these fresh-faced genin found out truths that weren’t meant to be known, and she was scared. But she’s slowly making up for that because just because she left doesn’t mean she’d loved them any less and this time, she’d made that decision to go with them this time. Pink is the color of love first and foremost, and in that inn room in Kusa, all she had was love for every single one in that room. A love that would have to expand after learning what Shino discovered from her health assessment.

Kisame: Purple Hyacinth and Blue

The Purple Hyacinth is regret. “I’m sorry,” and “Please forgive me,” are what these flowers would say if they could speak. Kisame isn’t a happy character in this story, not since the beginning of Hoshigaki, and certainly not now. He loves Sakura more than life itself, but every day he lives with the guilt of ruining her life. To him, Sakura lost her chance at any semblance of a normal life the moment he cursed her to the Akatsuki, and especially without her civilian mother as the last thread that could possibly hold her down to something normal, he’d unwittingly subjected her to all the horrors Akatsuki had to offer before he gave her up in hopes of her finding a better life. (And we all know how that went, so...) Blue is the color of peace, loyalty, skies, water, and depression. Kisame is level-headed, brutal, and a shinobi to be reckoned with. But he’s kind, and he’s guilty, and he loves Sakura so, so much, and he’ll never forgive himself.

Arc1, book 2: Chapter 15

Icefire circled the apprentice, their shoulder bleeding slightly. He did his best not to take out all of his anger on his apprentice.

Mousefur's patrol had been attacked by Brokentail's followers, Sunnypaw had been attacked and was still knocked out.

To say Icefire was pissed was an understatement of the season. Chestnutclaw wasn't any better, the tom had to be held down from trying to hunt down the rouges. He wanted blood but he knew he had to be there for his kits.

What chilled him the most was that from Cranewing's own words "Brokentail was among them". He kept a closer grip on Cloudpaw and Bearpaw and did everything he could to make sure Violetpaw and Flamepaw were safe, he didn't care much for Marshstar's threats as he crossed the border each time.

They had stayed with their sister for so long and only moved when Thymeroot pushed them out. Sunnypaw was nearly killed and only survived because Mousefur had lead the rouges away. They had sent search parties to search for Mousefur, dead or alive but hadn't been able to find her for five days.

Icefire went alone to the city found Snake and Luna and managed to find Mousefur in a trash can. It was clear she had been beaten and raped, Luna said it was shocking that she managed to drag herself into the can.

All of the patrol was dealing with injures to some degree. Ebonyshade was dealing with a bad belly wound, Brackenfur was dealing with some bad cuts and bruises, Ebonyshade was dealing with a broken paw, Frostbite was the only who didn't have such serious injures aside from a few light wounds.

Chocolate had recovered after a good rest and meal as did Duskthorn. Chocolate would've left earlier if not for the disaster that happened when Tiger-roar realized they were siblings. Nightshade looked ready to kill Chocolate while Miststrike didn't look pleased but not too hostile like her littermates. Chocolate was a little scared to leave by himself since Nightshade looked like she would kill him and he couldn't really blame him especially since he found out that Chocolate was expecting kits, Bluestar offered him a place in the clan and Chocolate said he'll think about it.

Icefire brought Duskthorn back to Shadowclan the next day, snide comments were shared as they did and a long overdue apology.

Raveneye had approached Bluestar about the rogues and about Tiger-roar and Nightshade. They'd been distinct from the clan lately, even their kin, Icefire had joined in on the concerns but Bluestar shut them down saying they were being ridiculous.

-Flashback-

"Icefire" Tiger-roar called

He didn't look up from Sunnypaw as she continued eating her first meal since she woke up "What?"

"We're going on patrol, join me" the two-colored deputy mewed

"It isn't a request, it's a demand" he heard Redtail hissed

Icefire licked Sunnypaw softly "I'll be back later, call Cloudpaw or Raveneye if you need anything"

His daughter nodded

Icefire followed the deputy out of camp, his fur slightly tense. The more they walked they more Icefire felt uneasy. Further and further away from camp, where less cats would be to hear anything.

"Where are we going?" he asked

"You are a special cat you know that Icefire"

"Special isn't the word that's normally used to describe me but go on" Icefire said coolly, curling their tail over their paws

The split tabby turned to face him, they were near the boundary to the houses and the city "Times are changing Icefire, Starclan sets many things for the clans, good or bad" he started "I see it a chance for greatness, not just for me but for others as well"

Icefire hummed

"I have a plan Icefire, for great change for Thunderclan and all the clans. I want to know if you'll be there for me when the time comes"

"What plan?" he asked, his voice harsher than he wanted it to be.

"I wasn't lying when I said you're special cat Icefire, we're both special in that regard, Starclan has spoken that"

'He knows about the prophecy' Icefire stiffened

"I see you caught on fast" Tiger-roar purred "I've known since before you set a paw in camp, Starclan said the white fire: we are both cats who could fit that are we not?"

Icefire couldn't say he was wrong, he fit the prophecy in the name sense while Tiger-roar fit it in his appearance, a perfect clash of ice and fire.

"What's the plan Tiger-roar?" he repeated

"Bluestar needs to go, it's only a matter of time before she ends up with time disease"

"Time disease?"

"Have you every heard of Goosefeather?"

"No" he lied "never heard of him"

"He's Bluestar's uncle, he went mad and caused many awful things for the clan. Some cats cheered when he died in fact"

He saw Goosefeather's expression to know that Tiger-roar was telling the truth. He chilled him slightly to watch the gray speckled tom only nod at the two-colored tabby's words.

"They say time disease passes on through the family line, who knows what Bluestar could do if she has it"

"We don't know that for sure Tiger-roar, Bluestar may be harsh but she's a good and fair leader"

"And yet, she doesn't do much to cats who mock you" the tabby replied "Cats who say you deserved what you got, say you're inferior because of your bloodline"

Icefire dug his claws into the ground and their eyes narrowed.

"Don't you want respect Icefire, don't you want those cats to suffer like they make you?" he placed one of his large paws on Icefire's back, running soft but firm lines down it

"I do" Icefire found himself saying "I really really do" the thought of spilling Seedspots or Lionheart's blood made him curl with delight

"Then join us, me and Nightshade" Tiger-roar said, he pulled Icefire closer "There's going to be an attack in two days, I have Brokentail's followers and a few rouges under my and Nightshade's control"

"What about Brokentail?" Icefire asked "Is he with you all?"

Tiger-roar sighed "Unfortunately, being blind didn't stop him from finding us and Dewflare didn't help matters"

Icefire curled his lip "Dewflare"

Tiger-roar smirked, he placed a paw under Icefire's chin making him meet his gaze "If all goes well Icefire, you can kill them yourself"

-Flashback ends-

"You have a bigger destiny than what he can offer" Redtail hissed, his tail held high "You know this Icefire"

"He does know truths Icefire" Spottedleaf added

Icefire ignored the torties in favor of striking Maplepaw and Shrikepaw was a quick shot. Spottedleaf actually started to talk to him for the first time in moons, not she asked his questions.

They've been training Maplepaw the same way they did Cinderfreeze. Maplepaw was just like Cinderfreeze, eager to learn and took to battle training easily. He brought his kits into the training sessions whenever they were free or at night. Cloudpaw was using Bluestar's teachings well with how quick his blows were. He was most concerned with Bearpaw's progress since she said she didn't have any battle training since she started, not on his watch.

He never wanted to drag Voletail so much and Bluestar to some extent. They would need as much training for the events to come.

They saw Maplepaw limp slightly, panting but her blue gaze looked determined as well as a flash of stubbornness.

A wicked smirk appeared on their face. "Try again Maplepaw"

Whitethroat shook the last of the pine needles from his tail. He drew a paw to get the pine needles out of his ears but he felt a tongue lick his white-tipped ears. He flinched back quickly and his breathing quickened.

He felt paws around him, a soothing voice mewing softly "It's okay love"

Crowcloud

"Thank you"

The black molly only nuzzled him.

"Is papa okay?" he heard Twilightkit ask

"He'll be fine" Crowcloud replied

"Where's-"

"Darkhollow is in the warriors den, Burdockpaw is on patrol, Garlickit and Sloekit are with Dawncloud, and Dark-kit and Hollylock-kit are with Darkflower"

Whitethroat felt himself relax a little, his breathing slowing down.

"Make sure if you see the rouges, chase them off" Marshstar called to a leaving patrol, her voice sounded proud and confident. It's better than what's its been for a the past three days. She started a fight with Thunderclan at the gathering and started a border fight, got worse when it was found out that Brokentail broke out.

He asked his mother what was wrong at times but she either ignored the question or change the subject.

He would've let it go if not for the conversation he heard her and Palecloud had yesterday:

-Flashback-

Whitethroat had been carrying last two of the frogs when he heard Marshstar snap "Watch your tongue"

He dropped his frogs and silently padded over. He saw Palecloud was sitting, head hanging in his usual manner. Marshstar was standing tall, her tail was lashing, the flower necklace she wore around her neck was slightly rocking back and forth.

Whitethroat remembered wanting to get flowers but Palecloud told him not to, he would give the flowers. Palecloud got a flower that summed up Marshstar's leadership for Shadowclan, he got a Protea, king. KIng meant transformation and change as well as daring and resourcefulness while Protea meaning courage and diversity.

"I'm just saying Marshstar, just because we smelled them doesn't mean Thunderclan is sheltering them" the white and gray tom looked tired "Bluestar wouldn't want those foxhearts in her territory let alone her camp"

"Bluestar can be unpredictable, I don't know what she wouldn't and would want" Marshstar retorted

"Hissing and attacking isn't the solution Marshstar" Palecloud mewed with a sniff "we have just stopped being at war with Thunderclan when he dethroned Brokentail we don't need to start anything with no good reason"

"Brokentail escaped mind you and we have no idea where he is, he could be in Thunderclan right now" Silverstar hissed and looked away

"Letting an ex leader who the leader knows raped one of her clanmates and had his goons rape the other in her camp, does that sound like something any reasonable leader would do?" Palecloud countered, his healer flowers shaking and his bone necklace rattled "You're paranoid Marshstar and you know it"

Marshstar didn't respond

"It's because you only got five lives instead of nine"

Marshstar snapped her head to look at Palecloud "Shut up, Starclan can go fuck themselves for denying me, 'it was Battle for the Star' they said that's a load of fox-dung if I ever heard it"

"I know Marshstar, I was there"

-Flashback ends-

Whitethroat was pushed out of his thoughts when Badgerfang nudged him.

"How bad you feel?"

"I think I'm good for now" he replied "I'm going for a walk, clear my head"

"Are you sure you want to go alone?" Badgerfang asked

"Yeah"

"Are you sure?" Crowcloud added, her tail curled around Twilightkit and the young crow she received earlier this moon. Ravenkit would receive a little raven too when of age.

"No patrols reported the rouges in the area" Whitethroat stated "I won't be out long"

He closed his eyes as he padded through the camp entrance. The breeze of the wind calmed him, his nerves at ease for the moment. He didn't know where he was going but he just needed to walk without others hovering over him.

So he didn't sleep much, he was fine. So he was addicted on catmint at times, he was fine. He has a good relationship with his kits and the clan was free from Brokentail, it was all fine.

At least, that's what he told himself.

Icefire yawned, watching the sun climbing the trees. He had spent the night with Morningflower as well as bonding with Gorsepaw, Brairpaw, and Quailpaw, they often call him dad times. He loved those three so much.

Icefire shook himself from his thoughts "Tiger-roar wants me to send Cloudpaw and Maplepaw on a solo hunting mission today" he mewed to Raveneye

The lean medicine cat looked up in surprise from his herb sorting "That's early isn't it? They've barley been an apprentices, if anything Swiftpaw and Lynxpaw should be getting that"

Icefire shrugged "Tiger-roar thinks they're ready. Bearpaw, Sunnypaw, and Rosepaw are having one too, He told me to follow them and see how they do, anyway. If your free would you like to come and help? I'll need help with watching two apprentices"

Tiger-roar had been busy that morning, sending out one patrol with Leopardstorm leading to renew the scent markings along the Riverclan boundary and another with Sandstorm to hunt around Snakerocks, so he neglected to tell Icefire where Maplepaw should go for her hunting mission. Icefire didn't want to be bothered to remind the deputy, he was planning.

"You both can make for Twolegplace" he mewed to Maplepaw, his tail laying on Cloudpaw's back "Then you won't get in the way of the patrols. You two won't see me or Raveneye but We'll be watching you. We'll meet you by the twoleg fence"

Cloudpaw nudged him "Tommy? Princess? Luna? Scourge? Can I see them?"

"If we see them there you may talk" Icefire mewed. His siblings honestly unless in Bloodclan never stay in the same area for too long. Princess and Luna were in Bloodclan while Tommy was with any group that would take him. Princess was trying to train her remaining kit, Slash into a fierce cat since her siblings either died or were taken by the humans. Scourge wasn't any better, Smoke, Rook, and Leo were killed in a fight with a random group. She was training Quince and Jackel harshly.

"Sweet" Cloudpaw's eyes gleamed, his snowy fur fluffed up in excitement. Maplepaw looked just as excited, her fluffy white tail sticking up with her tail-tip flicking. Icefire remembered doing this with Cinderfreeze, it was a lot of fun and it felt good seeing how far his apprentice had come.

"Off you two go, then" Icefire mewed

"Try to get there by sunhigh" Raveneye added

They watched the apprentices race off toward the tunnel "Pace yourself" he called after them "You've a long way to go!"

Neither apprentice slowed down.

"Apprentices" Raveneye mewed "I'm glad Ashpaw is the calm one"

They were following the apprentices scents, they were strong and mingled with each other.

"How's your kits?" Raveneye asked "Haven't had a chance to talk with them except Cloudpaw"

"Great" Icefire mewed with pride "I've heard that Sunnypaw's tracking skills have improved since she returned to training, Shrikepaw and Rosepaw's fighting skills have improved and Bearpaw has been helping out with the nursery"

"That's great" Raveneye replied "I'm proud to call them my kin"

A flurry of loose feathers told of a caught thrush, and specks of blood on the grass showed that a mouse had fallen to his claws. Not far from Tallpines, Icefire found the spot where Cloudpaw had buried his fresh-kill so he could return for it later. He saw a similar spot where Maplepaw had buried her kill. Impressed that both apprentices were hunting well so early in their training, Raveneye and Icefire put on speed, hoping to catch the two apprentices catching or stalking prey. But before they reached twolegplace he caught sight of Maplepaw racing back along her own scent rail, her fur bristling and a wild light in her eyes.

"Maplepaw!" Icefire raced forward to meet her, his body tingling with fear.

"What happened?" Raveneyes asked

Maplepaw skidded to a halt, her claws scattering pine needles, barley managing avoid a collision with Icefire "Sunnypaw's gone and Fuzzypelt's dead"

Icebelly felt his heart drop and the air grew cold "What?"

"Me and Cloudpaw saw Tiger-roar and Nightshade, and there were some strange cats with him"

"What strange cats?...The rouges" Raveneye said in horror "I knew it!"

"I think so" Maplepaw replied, her fur standing on end "They were huddled together, just on the edge of the trees. I tried to get closer to hear what they were saying, but I was afraid they would see my white tail. So I came to find you"

Icefire wasn't listening he stopped when he heard about Sunnypaw and Fuzzypelt's fate, did Tiger-roar do this?. "Where did you last smell her scent?" he suddenly snapped "Where's Fuzzypelt?"

Maplepaw was about to move when Cloudpaw came into view with Fuzzypelt's corpse. He set the old tom's body down gently.

"Dad!" Raveneye dashed forward, burying his face in Fuzzypelt's fur. The pelt-maker's had been slashed open. He caught the scent of Nightshade in the air and another he couldn't pinpoint.

"Nightshade" he hissed

Raveneye was seething. "I'll kill her" he snarled

"Well you'll have to wait" Maplepaw replied "I just saw a large group of them and they're heading for camp"

Icefire didn't skip a beat "Run!" he ordered "All of you run like you've never before"

He ran with speed he didn't know he had, not checking to see if Cloudpaw and Maplepaw were keeping up. He saw Raveneye race ahead, fear racing off his white spotted pelt.

'He sent out all those patrols this morning' Icefire thought, fighting back panic. 'and he told me to follow Cloudpaw and Maplepaw. He left the clan with barely a warrior to defend it. This was the plan' he didn't know if he should stop or continue 'Do I actually want this?'

Icefire hurtled through the trees, his muscles bunching and stretching as he drove himself on. But when Raveneye and him reached the ravine, he realized that they had not run fast enough. He saw the lats of the rouges disappear into the gorse tunnel.

Launching himself down the steep side of the ravine, with Cloudpaw and Maplepaw scrabbling down behind him, Icefire let out a yowl "Thunderclan! Enemies! Attack!" He hurled himself into the tunnel and at the same moment he heard another yowl from the camp ahead.

"To me, Thunderclan!"

It was the familiar battle cry, but the voice was Tiger-roar's.

He burst into the clearing just as Tiger-roar whirled on the band of rogues, who scattered, yowling, from his attack. The deputy certainly looked as if he were trying to drive enemies from the camp, but Icefire was close enough to see that his long claws were sheathed in his massive paws. Tiger-roar's brave defense was all a sham. He had brought these enemy cats here, but he was cunning enough to conceal his own treachery.

There was no time for any more thought. However they had come here, the rogue cats were now attacking the camp. Icefire turned swiftly to Cloudpaw and Maplepaw.

"Go and find the patrols and tell them to come back" he ordered "Leopardstorm is somewhere along the Riverclan boundary, and Sandstorm went to Snakerocks"

"Yes Icefire, I got Snakerocks" Maplepaw replied

"Riverclan" Cloudpaw added as they both raced back into the tunnel.

Icefire sprang at the nearest rogue, a dark mottled brown tabby , and he raked his claws down his side. The rogue snarled and twisted toward, paws splayed for attack. He tried to pin Icefire down; Icefire's hindpaws pummeled his belly, and rogue broke away howling.

Icefire's scrambled to his paws and crouched with tail lashing and fur bristling as he looked around for another enemy. Outside the entrance to the nursery, Frostbite was wrestling a rogue with a pale gray coat, the two of the rolling over and over as they tried to get a hold with teeth and claws.

Brindleface and Speckletail were fighting against a black cat twice their size. Near the warrior's den, Mousefur dug her front claws into the shoulder of a huge tabby, while her back claws shredded his flank.

He saw Dustpelt and Raveneye brawling with Mudfoot, Raveneye going for the ribes and Dustpelt going for the eyes.

He tried to run to help but he was bowled over by a rogue cat. His flank stung as claws raked down it. Green eyes glared a mouse-length from his own red ones. Icefire bared his fangs and tried to bite down into the enemy's shoulder, but the rogue cat batted him away. Claws ripped into his ear. His belly was exposed and he couldn't twist free. Suddenly his attacker let out a wail and released him. Icefire caught a glimpse of the older apprentice Swiftpaw with his teeth fastened into the rogue's tail; the rogue dragged him through the dust until Swiftpaw released him and the enemy fled.

Panting, Icefire scrambled to his paws "Thanks" he gasped "Well done"

"Done it a lot with Fogtail" Swiftpaw chuckled before racing off to where Frostbite still battled in front of the nursery along with Nettlemist.

The clearing heaved with struggling cats, but as Icefire poised himself to rejoin the fray he realized something that sent an even colder pang of fear along his spine. Where was Bluestar?

In a heartbeat, Icefire realized that he couldn't see Tiger-roar either or Nightshade either. Every instinct told him the plan was close to completion, even the hissing from Goosefeather.

'Save her you fool' he hissed 'This is not the destiny they follow'

"What are you talking about?" he snapped

'You'll see, now save her'

"Icefire, help!" turned and saw Cranewing pinned by Lizardstripe. The older molly dug her claws in the gray molly's chest and her ear was bleeding.

Icefire moved forward and shoved Lizardstripe away. Lizardstripe hissed and swiped at him and he dodged, he winced when he stepped on his faulty leg in his rush "Cranewing, kill her!"

The gray molly didn't hesitate, she bit into the back of Lizardstripe's neck. The older molly gurgled as Cranewing crushed her windpipe.

'Find Bluestar!' Goosefeather and Redtail hissed

He dodged around Willowpelt, who was clinging to the back of a much bigger rogue, her teeth hastened in his ear, and made for Bluestar's den, Leopardstorm falling beside him. To his relief, as he approached the entrance he heard Bluestar mew from inside, "We can worry about that later, Tiger-roar Nightshade. The Clan needs us now"

For a few heartbeats there was no reply. Leoapardstorm looked ready to bolt but was waiting. Then Icefire heard Bluestar's voice again, surprised "Nightshade? Tiger-roar? What are you doing?"

Tiger-roar's snarl answered "Remember us to Starclan, Mother"

"Tiger-roar Nightshade, what is this?" Bluestar's mew was sharper now, edged with rage, not fear. "I'm the leader of your clan, or have you two forgotten that?"

"Not for much longer" Nightshade growled

"I'm going to kill you, and kill you again, As many times as it takes for you to join Starclan forever. It's time for me to lead this Clan!" Tiger-roar declared

Bluestar's answering hiss was suddenly cut short by the sound of paws thudding against the hard floor of the den, followed by dreadful snarling.

A deep red rose can be used to convey heartfelt regret and sorrow. The number of red roses has special romantic meanings associated with them. 12 red roses are the most popular of all which conveys "Be mine" and "I love you"

White Roses: White is the color of purity, chastity, and innocence. White flowers are generally associated with new beginnings and make an ideal accompaniment to a first-time bride walking down the aisle. White flowers can be used to convey sympathy or humility. They also are indicative of spirituality. Hence, white roses also follow suit.

Yellow Roses: Yellow roses are an expression of exuberance. Yellow roses evoke sunny feelings of joy, warmth and welcome. They are symbols of friendship and caring. The yellow rose, like the other roses, does not carry an undertone of romance. It indicates purely platonic emotions.

Pink Roses: There are a lot of variations of the pink rose. Overall, pink roses are used to convey gentle emotions such as admiration, joy, and gratitude. Light pink rose blooms are indicative of sweetness and innocence. Deep pink rose blooms convey deep gratitude and appreciation. Pink roses also connote elegance and grace.

Orange Roses: While a yellow rose reminds us of the sun, an orange rose reminds us of a fiery blaze. These fiery blooms signify passion and energy. Orange roses can be used to express intense desire, pride and fervor. They also convey a sense of fascination. These flowers rival only the red roses as messengers of passion in romance.

Lavender Roses: A Lavender rose like its color conveys enchantment. It also expresses "love at first sight". Darker shades of lavender roses (close to purple) convey a sense of regal majesty and splendor. These roses are used to express fascination and adoration.

Blue Roses: A perfectly blue rose is still elusive like the perfectly black rose. Blue roses cannot be achieved naturally so they represent the unattainable or the mysterious. Blue roses, therefore, embody the desire for the unattainable. They say "I can't have you but I can't stop thinking about you"

Green roses: Green is the color of harmony, of opulence, of fertility. It is also a color indicative of peace and tranquility. Green roses (these are off-white roses with shades of green) can symbolize best wishes for a prosperous new life or wishes for recovery of good health

Black Roses: Black is the color of death and farewell. A black rose, like the blue rose, remains elusive. What we know as black roses are actually really dark red roses. Black roses convey the death of a feeling or idea. Sending black roses to someone indicates the death of the relationship.

Mixed Roses: By mixing rose blooms of different colors purposefully, you can create a bouquet of emotions. For example, a bouquet of red and white roses would mean I love you intensely and my intentions are honorable. A random mix of roses would convey mixed feelings or send a message: "I don't know what my feelings are yet but I sure do like you enough to send you roses."

Snapdragon symbolizes graciousness and strength. Its negative connotations include deception and presumption. Deception; Gracious Lady

Spider Flower - Elope with Me

Stephanotis - Happiness in Marriage; Desire to Travel

what flowers do you associate with your mutuals!

hi anon i’m so sorry it took me forever to respond to this!!!!! i was gonna make a long post for all my mutuals that i adore but i decided to make this an exclusive love letter to my best friend, gabi @kingshixtape due to her departure from this site.

i associate gabi (my love, my angel, my sunshine, my happiness, my other half, my everything) with many flowers! all of them have different meanings but there is a similar theme to them all. she reminds me of these flowers:

Amaryllis - This flower is symbolic of splendid beauty. It is also used to indicate worth beyond beauty.

Bird of paradise - symbolizes joyfulness. It also symbolizes magnificence. It can also be used to indicate exciting and wonderful anticipation.

Gardenias - symbolizes purity and sweetness. They indicate secret love. They convey joy. They tell the receiver you are lovely.

Hydrangea - symbolizes heartfelt emotions. It can be used to express gratitude for being understood.

Protea - stands for change and transformation. It signifies daring and resourcefulness. It is symbolic of diversity and courage.

Sunflower -signifies pure thoughts. It symbolizes adoration and dedication. It is symbolic of dedicated love.

gabi has been one of the most positive figures in my life, even if she hadn’t messaged me or tagged me in something every second. her presence on this site is comforting, knowing that someone that wonderful and honestly beautiful (inside & out) exists. she demonstrates how even if you are mentally in a bad place, you still possess the power to spread love. she has been a huge role model to my mental life, and she means more than the world to me. gabi always makes me smile with her silly but heartfelt tags or posts. she constantly inspires me to be a better me. and for those who don’t know gabi, you are missing out on pure sunshine in human form. gabi, (i hope you’re reading this) i’m so happy for you, for your courage to deactivate after recognizing it took a toll on you. life is hard and not everyone will like you, but i hope you remember the influence you brought on here.you are capable of so many things in life, and i one day hope to hear about those accomplishments. these next words contain every single feeling of my pure adoration for you gabi: i love you.

#i'm sorry i'm so mushy & gross & cheesy but i love talking about my beautiful friend #asks #anon #🖇
