I hope the year is off to a good start for you! Please take your time - we know this is for fun and not a job - but are you planning on picking this back up eventually?

Yes I will! I ended up having some personal problems in the start of the year, but things are starting to go better now! I will probably be able to pick the tournament back up soon!

Congratulations to the bouquet of white, red and black roses!

The identity of the bouquet of white chrysanthemums, orchids and blue hydrangeas is...

Andrew Zaragoza, @poicyss OC!

Round 1; A bouquet of white, red and black roses Vs A bouquet of white chrysanthemums, orchids and blue hydrangeas

If you know who they are, or are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!

First, lets talk abou the bouquet of white, red and black roses

Meaning and why these flowers were chosen: White, Red and Black roses. They are very Alice in Wonderland coded, and those flowers are explicitly mentioned in a scene where the queen asks them to be painted. That aside, they are also flowers that represent loyalty, devotion and most importantly, death. Description: This character is a tool to be used by others. They come in a set, and while their abilities may change, their goal does not. The only purpose this living, breathing girl has is to serve. Because of this, she is feared. But she is also adored. She is used, and does not mind it. Mostly. Even if she did, she couldn't change it. She's a loyal, devoted girl who is ready for death at any time. They all are.

Now let's talk about the bouquet of white chrysanthemums, orchids and blue hydrangeas

Check their post here

Meaning: White Chrysanthemums: represent grief and are a way to pay respects to the deceased, especially family. Orchids: represent strength and beauty in the face of adversity. They can symbolize his resilience and the beauty he brings to the lives of those around him. Irises: are a symbol of hope and wisdom. They can represent his ability to persevere and make wise decisions despite the difficulties he has faced. Blue Hydrangeas: can symbolize deep emotions and understanding. They can represent both the grief he feels due to losing his family and the understanding to push through regardless. Description: This is a young man who has faced a series of hardships in life, lacking guidance and living day-to-day without clear goals or ambitions. He has lost both his parents and his older sister in car accidents, leaving him with no immediate family except for his goddaughter. Despite not even having a girlfriend previously, he now has to adapt to caring for a baby without much, if any, support. It's heavy, but he carries it extremely well. He's a very loving person and has been a great father thus far, all things considered. He's hard working, compassionate, and above all else wants to do his family proud. He is so tired though. He doesn't find himself smiling often. Poor thing.

Congratulations to the bouquet of amaryllis, milkweed, bluebells and strelitizia!

The identity of the bouquet of blue and red hyacinths is...

Jet Bradley from TRON 2.0

(The submitter added these notes:

The game he's from is on gog.com! Monolith Studios got fucked over by Disney when it comes to the rights to TRON 2.0 and its story and characters, but they still profit from 2.0 sales. For that reason, while the movies are worth pirating, if you want to play 2.0 you should legally purchase it! It's $10 and when it's on sale it's $3. And being on gog means you can buy it drm free.)

Round 1; A bouquet of amaryllis, milkweed, bluebells and strelitizia Vs A bouquet of blue and red hyacinths

If you know who they are, or are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!

First, let's talk about the bouquet of amaryllis, milkweed, bluebells and strelitizia

Meaning and why these flowers were chosen: amaryllis: these flowers mean pride, strength and determination. the character is very prideful, even snarky. he's got the strength AND determination to back it up, too! this flower fits quite well, in my opinion! strelitzia: these mean freedom, which is a perfect fit for this character! freedom is a part of his motivations and so it's no wonder this would be chosen, huh? milkweed: for the same reason as above, since it also means freedom. bluebells: due to them representing kindness. he doesn't like bullies, kidnappers or anyone else who's rude. Description: he's a free spirit, caring for others, helping them out. saving the world is difficult for you, but for him, it's just an average tuesday. and yet, he still manages to be an absolute king of sass, snark and cheek! a balance of virtue and trash talk is always nice. also he's accidentally transmasc coded 👍

Now, let´s talk about the bouquet of blue and red hyacinths

Meaning and why these flowers were chosen: Hyacinths. Blue for constancy, red for playfulness. He grew up loving video games and went into making them only to become a video game character himself. So video games are a constant in his life, but he thinks of himself as laid back and wanting to enjoy the life he's been given, and happens to take comfort in the same things he always has. So blue and red hyacinths. Description: He is a 20 year old programmer who got sucked into a computer and forced to disinfect it with video game guns! He's empathetic and was never diagnosed with ADHD, but nearly didn't graduate because he couldn't focus on anything but programming through high school and college. Oh also his mom died in a workplace safety accident but his dad turned her remains into an AI, but the AI turns evil partway through his story and tries to kill him

Congratulations to bouquet of wisteria, black and red carnations and foxgloves

The identity of the bouquet of buttercup, daffodils, edelweiss and orange tulip is...

Spring, @insertbrowsinghere OC!

Round 1; A bouquet of wisteria, black and red carnations and foxgloves Vs A bouquet of buttercup, daffodils, edelweiss and orange tulip

If you know who they are, or are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!

First, let's talk about the bouquet of wisteria, black and red carnations and foxgloves

Meaning and why these flowers were chosen: Wisteria flowers symbolize drama and mystery, which align with his penchant for creating stories with unexpected twists and turns. Black and Red Carnations can symbolize deep fascination or love, which reflect his intense interest in the stories he creates, even if they have tragic outcomes. Foxgloves are known for their toxic properties, which can be associated with his willingness to manipulate and harm his characters for the sake of entertainment Description: Once upon a time, there was a man who died. The man’s work was the writing and telling of stories, but he could not defy death. Regardless, the story continued and he got the chance to lead them even beyond death. However, he doesn't like idealistic and hopeful narratives, preferring tragedy and selfishness in his characters. He thinks happy endings are boring and actively guides the characters in directions he finds entertaining. What's unsettling is his willingness to manipulate and even harm his characters as long as it makes the story more interesting. He takes great delight in telling the other characters what they should be doing per their "roles" in the story, and will sometimes even scold the characters for subverting their roles and trying to do something beyond what's expected of them. However, even when things seem to be going against what he'd wanted, after a brief moment of frustration he chippers back up as long as the twist is at least entertaining. He puts a good story above all else

Now, let's talk about the bouquet of buttercup, daffodils, edelweiss and orange tulip

Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Buttercup (friendship, youth and joy. Can also imply childishness in some contexts, and if you really stretch it, the fact that it is a weed could potentially imply invasiveness, though you are getting a pretty little flower out of the deal, so how bad that is is debatable), daffodils (new beginnings and forgiveness), edelweiss (sacrifice, devotion and adventure), aster (love and faith) and orange tulip (understanding and appreciation) Description: Very full of love and very forgiving, but in a way which sometimes becomes a tiny bit detrimental to her. This character is a rather mild and modest one, albeit one who still has a bit of childishness attached to her, since she's both young and only recently steadily allowing herself to actually act her age after a while of not doing that. She's found a new home after being in one she refuses to acknowledge as bad for her, but even still, a lot of her old tendencies spill over into her new life, to the point where, without her very people-pleasing tendencies, she doesn't know if there's much to love about her at all. She brings happiness to the lives of those she loves most of the time, but she's still trying to make for the simple fact that she exists in their lives at all. Ultimately, the idea of sacrifice is inherent to her nature, and she'd frankly rather put herself in severe, life-threatening danger over possibly being a bother or potentially leading to mild harm to others. She's just not super used to not being a burden just yet

Round 1; A bouquet of purple daylily, green carnation, dead leaves, fern, opium flowers and coriander Vs Red Orchid

If you know who they are, or are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!

First, let's talk about the bouquet of purple daylily, green carnation, dead leaves, fern, opium flowers and coriander:

Meaning: Purple daylily: mistery, wealth Green carnation: for his homossexual tendencies Dead Leaves: sadness Fern: magic Opium flower: forgetfulness Coriander: hidden worth Description: His father is the owner of a company [purple dailily: wealth], but his father doesn't think he is good enough to be in the company, so our bouquet works a job that doesn't pay that much. Once he got fucking kidnapped and discovered he was in other country and his main concern was that he had never worked there before! One of the guys in his group calls him a *nickname*. He once called other guy his puppy. He threw himself on other's guys arm and was called handsome. [green carnation] One of the people in his group ends up dying, and everyone goes through traumatic experiences™. Before, he said that if he was in a situation like that he would save everyone, but in the end he only wanted to save himself. He considered his pet his family, and it ended up dying in front of him, he uses it as a exemple everytime they talk about everything they lost. [dead leaves] Later, we end up discovering he is a) amnesiac b) the only person in the group who had previous experience with sobrenatural stuff [opium flower, fern, purple dailily: mistery] we don't know how, and neither does him! On the end, he ends up being the one that helps the last ones remaining in his group to live, by having a idea so great that even god was surprised. (I am serious). He uses a guy and a fetus as sacrifices, and they live, not without being really traumatized [coriander]

Now, let's talk about the Red Orchid:

Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Red orchids because their death is inevitable + strength and determination + the character colour Description: A skilled fighter destined to die, but they have one last mission to complete before they go.

Congratulations to the bouquet of willows and chives

The identity of the Dandelions 1 is...

Cynthia LaFloren, from @gumy-shark DnD campaign!

Round 1; Dandelions 1 Vs A bouquet of willows and chives

If you know who they are, or are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!

First, let's talk about the Dandelions 1

Why this flower was chosen: Dandelions, bc they 1) are not native to where this character creator is from. This character grew up in a kingdom that wasn't too fond of half-elves, and never quite belonged with the rest bc of that. 2) Survive and thrive in extreme + hostile environments- again, she grew up with a lot of things stacked against her, but manages to stay happy and optimistic despite it all. 3) are really cute, and she is also really cute. 4) she's dandelion coded. Description: in another world, where she'd been born in a happier place, she would've been a scholar, studying ancient religions and magic. if she'd been born in a modern world, she'd be a gamer. unfortunately, neither of these are true, and instead she's a half-elf wizard who grew up in a very oppressive kingdom that hates pretty much everyone who isn't a high elf or a drow. she's bought fully into her country's propaganda, and struggles to be seen as "good enough." because she grew up an outsider due to being a half-elf, she didn't really have any friends, (especially since the wizard training school she went to was like. i cant even think of a fictional example bad enough. it had a fucking mortality rate, schools shouldnt really have those), other than her sentient spellbook (whose sentience she had to keep a secret from everyone for fear he'd be taken away and she'd be alone). she's an unpaid intern for one of the ruling council of the kingdom. she was sent on her current mission with the expectation that she wouldn't be coming back. she's sweet and helpful but doesn't really trust anybody except her spellbook. i love her

Now, let's talk about the bouquet of willows and chives:

Meaning: Willows for Sadness (because hes an emo lil man) and Chives for usefulness (*) Description: – (*)This bouquet is OBSESSED with being useful to others – Hes the trans aroace ghost of an overworked programmer 80s dudebro. – Hes also in a queerplatonic Poly relationship with ANOTHER 80s dudebro, a shadow guy who looks like Krobus and an evil ass robot whos only screen face is ':D' – Also hes also trying to get all these shapeshifting masks so that he can ascend into godhood and... idk form a cybercult maybe. – Hes PERSONAL enemies with the Council (and it was good) – His gender is 'whatever's funnyest' – He watches Soap Carving Videos to fall asleep to.

Congratulations to the Violet!

The identity of the Red Spider Lily is...

Lupina Orreur, @xefros-tritoh Homestuck OC!

Round 1; Violet Vs Red Spider Lily

If you know who they are, or are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!

First, let's talk about the violet

Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Violet, because years after the events of the story her friend keeps a potted violet on his desk to remember her by. Can also represent daydreaming, which applies to her character arc in a way and artistic personality Description: She grew up in a rural family and always had a passion for art. Her parents hoped to send her to an art school, but couldn’t afford it until a drilling company offered them money to mine on their land. Unfortunately, the operation failed and they never got their money. The plot happens, she ends up going to art school, and years later a lot of her artwork is shown to be hung up in her childhood friend’s house. Many of her paintings deal with themes of grief due to her brother dying when she was younger. Other info: she is deaf, she hangs out with her friends in an abandoned observatory, and she ends up with an adoptive brother at the end of the story

Check their post here

Now, let's talk about the Red Spider Lily

Meaning and why this flower was chosen: The red spider lily is synonymous with abandonment, loss, death, and separation. These are all key themes to this character, all of which are brought upon by her own choices. They're also often used in anime, such as tokio ghoul, to invoke a visual of blood due to their vibrant red color. She has a very blood, violent past. She is also manipulative, which is hinted at by Spider in the flower's name. Description: She is outwardly a very bubbly and sweet person, but internally she is very vicious and vindictive. She is deeply protective of those she loves, and holds grudges withput hesitation or remorse. She also has her own assassination gig that she runs to make money on the side.

Round 1; A bouquet of marigold, dandelions, goldenrods and amaryllis Vs A bouquet of sea holly, ageratum, globe thistle, orchid cactus, protea, bird of paradise, mimosa, dianthus, hydrangea and clematis

If you know who they are, or are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!

First, let's talk about the A bouquet of marigold, dandelions, goldenrods and amaryllis

Meaning: Marigold - strong association with death Dandelions - hope, resilience, stubborn perseverance Goldenrods - growth, encouragement (especially in times of grief) Amaryllis - happiness, pride Description: He's an extremely tragic character, and dies several times throughout the series, in a timeloop-esque fashion. The bad things that happen to him are treated like a joke by the characters, including him, but he is also seen as a warning of the end times, as he is always the first to go, no matter how hard he or anyone else tries to keep him alive. He always dies in strokes of his terrible luck-- things no one sees coming-- and no one can save him. Despite this, he is one of the most optimistic characters, always trying to make the best of his situation, and is extremely resilient against the oblivion that he faces. His cheery nature often boarders on overconfidence and pride, leading the others to try to take him down a notch, but he just takes their jokes in stride. His situation is grim, but he never gives up and keeps hoping that one day he'll escape his fate, keeps wishing and believing and trying his best. He's so silly <3

Check their post here

Now, let's talk abou the bouquet of sea holly, ageratum, globe thistle, orchid cactus, protea, bird of paradise, mimosa, dianthus, hydrangea and clematis

Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Sea holly, for severity and attraction. She is always initially perceived as severe by the people around her; it’s more that the society she lives in sets forth precise lines to walk by and she takes it seriously in order to get by, and also she’s pretty hardcore. She is also full of desire for the person she eventually marries—technically a political match but there’s so much warmth that sparks there. Ageratum, for politeness. Offbeat and weird though she is as a person, she is incredibly practiced at moving through polite society as expected. Globe thistle, for nobility of character. There is a strength and goodness to her that may not be immediately obvious since she isn’t particularly soft or cheerful, but she is always worthy of respect. Orchid cactus, for patience, admiration, and good spirits. She approaches her life with resignation at first and then quietly budding hope as she grows close to someone who genuinely cares to understand her and love her as she is, and she has patience in waiting by this person’s side during emotional struggles; theirs is a pairing of mutual admiration. Also, it took patience and perseverance for her to get to a partner actually worth pursuing and who wouldn’t discard her. Protea, for ingenuity, diversity, resilience, and courage. She may be mainly a high-society lady with a quiet personal life, but when adventure comes along she’ll jump right into it with bravery and even glee. She approaches personal differences with the mentality that neither party can be expected to change toward the other’s state of being; they must make a functional partnership with their differences still in play. And she is surprisingly adaptable given her need to map out the minutiae of each day; her special interests and coping mechanisms can be downright helpful despite her expectations to the contrary. Bird of paradise, for thoughtfulness, joy, and freedom. Careful though she is, she really does love an explosive opportunity to let loose or have an unconventional experience. Mimosa, for sensibility and sensitivity, and for expanding one’s life. She is practical, in a way, to a strange degree, and as much as she keeps her composure she is also capable of a gentle touch and over time that enables her life to relax and grow in new directions. Dianthus, for harmony and family unity. She is a loving wife, mother, and sister, and even to those who thought her unapproachable at first she can be a rock. Hydrangea, for honest emotions. She has a lot to feel and, in the right company, no need to hold it back. Clematis, for artifice, safe travels, and mental beauty and strength. Her artifice is that of masking, due to her undiagnosed-due-to-setting autism and her fears of messing up socially; but her neurodivergence is a good and loved aspect of her, even though she was once alienated because of it and she’ll never fully get away from that because she lives in a society. The ‘safe travels’ meaning relates to her adventures and also how, when she’s not the one leaving home, she can trust in her partner to return safely. Description: A lovely, seemingly uptight autistic woman who’s both the most ordinary of her compatriots and as wacky and funny as anyone else has to offer; it’s good to watch her self-esteem grow as she embarks on a heartwarming oddball-for-oddball romance

Round 1; A bouquet of bleeding hearts and dandelions Vs A bouquet of plastic lemon balm, thyme, hyacinths and anemone flowers, with a single real orange rose in the middle, wrapped in light blue cellophane

If you know who they are, or are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!

First, let's talk about the bouquet of bleeding hearts and dandelions

Why these flowers were chosen: bleeding hearts due to the fact she died young and is represented by them a lot in the series and dandelions because she was part of a group related to dandelions Description: they were shown to be very anxious and shy but wanting to befriend the protagonist, so they went around to look for the protagonist, but instead ended up meeting their demise when somebody murdered them. their older brother starts spiraling trying to find out what happened to them

Check their post here

Now, let's talk about the bouquet of plastic lemon balm, thyme, hyacinths and anemone flowers, with a single real orange rose in the middle, wrapped in light blue cellophane

Meaning and why these plants were chosen: The lemon balm represents sympathy, which is a major theme in the game is how she is showed it by others despite her "unusual" circumstances and disability, and how it ties into her character arc as she connects with others and forms lasting relationships. Thyme flowers represent courage and strength, representing the pure horrors she had to endure on her journey and how she powered through, despite it all, for the sake of herself and other beings like her. Hyacinths represent sport, games, and play, relating to not only the circumstances of her existence inside a giant semi-digital mmo, but to her own highly competitive nature, always striving towards challenges and having a smug sense of satisfaction from beating them. Anemone flowers represent forsaken things, representing the shady and highly unethical circumstances of her creation, as a prototype for a computing discovery that would have massive ramifications for society as a whole, which is unfortunately put to use in torturing for personal information. It also represents the situations she faces, where she is torn from her new friends suddenly and trapped in a scrapped expansion DLC for the mmo she resides in, which has been converted into a place for facilitating the highly unethical experiments. The plastic qualities of the flowers represent her own artificial nature. The real orange rose alludes to mainly the fact that her virtues (represented by an orange rose, which means desire and enthusiasm) are completely real despite her circumstances as an ai. The orange of the rose is also the hair colour of her best friend, who is "real" unlike her, being a mmo player who formed a bond with her. The blue cellophane matches her hair colour, and is also an artificial material Description: This character is a woman who wakes up one day in a massive, futuristic VR MMO with no memories of her past self, and so must join forces with a programmer to play through the game and recover them. Unfortunately, due to a bug in her player avatar, she's been rendered non-verbal, except for a few choice words hard coded in by the programmer to help her. With his guidance, she must slowly recover her memories, keep her mostly unauthorised existence in the game a secret, and deal with her new situation. All the while in the background, dark secrets and sinister machinations involving the proprietary tech that makes the game possible are coming to a head, and she finds herself wrapped up in the centre of it... and she may just find out something shocking about herself in the process. Personally, I adore her for her cheeky nature, with a deeply caring side for those dear to her, and how much personality of hers is shown just through her expressions. Despite her lack of words, each bit of dialogue and expression is carefully crafted to show what she's feeling at any given moment, and any opinions she may have, to make a character absolutely overflowing with personality who perfectly bounces off others in any scene. (Some of my personal favourite scenes are the ones where after a certain sidequest, she's told by her programmer friend that she shouldn't be messing around with glitches again, and she makes an "innocent" whistling gesture that tells you she TOTALLY wants to do it again, and the story scene where "Why" is added to her vocabulary and the first thing she does with it is to annoy her programmer friend by repeatedly asking it, with an increasingly smug and satisfied expression as she gets under his skin.)

Round 1; A bouquet of snapdragon, yellow poppy and jonquil Vs Blue Rose

If you know who they are, or are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!

First, let's talk about the bouquet of snapdragon, yellow poppy and jonquil

Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Snapdragon: Deception. It's kind of his whole thing, he does deceive the main character Yellow Poppy: Wealth and Success. He has a lot of it. Jonquil: It means ego and oh boy does he have a lot of it. It's the only way to defeat him. Description: This character is a literal card carrying villain, the antagonist in all ways. We may not know that much about him, but from what we see of him, we know this. He'll enact an evil scheme involving kidnapping and maybe a bit of murder, but then ask the main character to play regular sports with him (which he will of course cheat at and win). He's also got a bit of a gay thing going on with the protagonist, but that's just my opinion.

Check their post here

Now, let's talk about the Blue Rose

Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Blue rose, meaning "impossible love" being an alter who only fronts to obey and deal with the cult life, there is no happy ending with him :( he either gets out of the cult and stops fronting or keeps suffering there, not able to be with who he loves DD:` flower meanings have an important part in his story and he is represented by the blue rose in canon, wears one in his lapel and his theme song was nicknamed "melody of the blue roses" by fans!! and it's incredible!!!! Description: HES. GUYS. OK. sweet adorable poor little meow meow <3 alter of a guy with a tragic backstory (WHICH INCLUDES A MISUNDERSTANDING WITH HIS TWIN BROTHER WHO HE LOVES VERY MUCH AND WHO WOULD DIE FOR HIM!! in fact that misunderstanding is bc his twin left to try and save him, but he (our guy, the system host) thought he was abandoned and started to hate his brother who was being lied to and told [host] was okay!!!!!) he came to exist after our host was roped into a cult by his caretaker. he loves flowers and his whole story surrounds flowers and their meanings!! he often sends pictures and bouquets to his love to tell them how he feels, and his favorite place in the compound is the garden, which is also where he and his love (the main character) share their first kiss! very cute very wholesome <33 He ADORES the main character and wants to be their prince/knight in shining armor, but he is just sooo scrunkly and lives in a wet cardboard box where he codes for the cult and exhausts himself so much he can't do anything for his love :((( he is very cute and pathetic and I want to hold him in my hands very gently AND HE LOVES SWEETS! AND BAKES FOR MC!! AND HES THE DEFINITION OF A POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW

Round 1; A bouquet of yellow orchids, rue, yew, bird’s-foot trefoil, yellow gladiolus, yellow peony, sunflower and yellow amaryllis Vs A bouquet of dandelion, asphodel, poppy, chamomile, red columbine, hydrangea, rhododendron, dark crimson rose and queen of the night

If you know who they are, or are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!

First, let's talk about the bouquet of yellow orchids, rue, yew, bird’s-foot trefoil, yellow gladiolus, yellow peony, sunflower and yellow amaryllis

Meaning and why these flowers were chosen: Yellow orchids, because he compares himself to an orchid kept in a greenhouse, because yellow is a color of heavy symbolism in his source material—for nothing good—and on the other hand because yellow orchids can represent friendship and new beginnings and he’s a sweet guy who gets a possible new beginning. Rue, because it means regret and he has plenty of that, not so much because of wrongs he committed but wrongs he was complicit in and inherited as a legacy from his family. Yew, because it represents life, death, and reincarnation and he was almost an avenue for someone’s reincarnation. It also represents evil and protection from evil, and someone close to him isn’t always sure which he’s going to be. Bird’s-foot trefoil, because it means revenge and he helps someone deliver comeuppance to those who had wronged them, and though I’m not sure he was in the state of mind to appreciate it as revenge for himself, he deserves to. Yellow gladiolus, because gladiolus represents strength and that’s the last thing anyone would expect this fragile young man to have but in a way he does. Yellow peony, because peonies can represent bashfulness and he is shy and awkward and so repressed. Sunflower, because it can represent intelligence and the pursuit of enlightenment; he is a devotedly scholarly type (in fact, he likes botany a lot so he’d probably vibe with this tournament idea) and knows better than to support the ideologies of his family; he is enlightened beyond their prejudice. Yellow amaryllis, because amaryllis symbolizes love—he is deeply, yet delicately, in love with someone who has brought hope into his life—and because it also means unrecognized beauty and I think that would be funny but neat for him, given that he’s unattractive but possesses a kind, potentially beautiful personality. Description: ‘God, what a pathetic loser’ you think (assuming you’re, ahem, the POV character, but I get it) and it’s a fundamentally compassionate person who was only complicit insofar as he was trapped in an abusive system and had succumbed to despair. Incredibly polite to his shitty family and tells the first person who asks that he thinks the family home should be burned to the ground. He may be a bit ugly and awkward, but in good circumstances he radiates the silly joy of a nerd. Also, he’s one-half of one of my favorite fictional interracial couples; they are such a good and sweet and thematically resonant duo

Now, let's talk about the bouquet of dandelion, asphodel, poppy, chamomile, red columbine, hydrangea, rhododendron, dark crimson rose and queen of the night

Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Dandelion- overcoming hardship [Hes been going THROUGH it, like its been rough for this guy] Asphodel- my regrets follow you to the grave [he is riddled with guilt, for things he did, for things he didnt do, just- so much guilt] Poppy- eternal sleep, imagination [dreams are a very important aspect of the media] Chamomile- patience in adversity [he has been scraping by not dying by the skin of his teeth, he is constantly experiencing the Horrors] Red Columbine- anxiety [he is soso goddamn traumatized] Hydrangea- Frigidity and heartlessness [hes kind of a bit of an evil bitch] Rhododendron- Danger [He has been in non-stop life threatening danger since the series began] Dark Crimson Rose- Mourning [he is defined by his grief and regret] Queen of the Night- enjoy small moments because they do not last [Any minor joy he finds is immediately crushed, this man CANNOT have nice things] Description: Ohhhhh he is riddled with guilt. He is a private investigator. Everyone he loves is dead, its all his fault, it also kind of isnt. He is in a toxic yaoi situation-ship with a ghost in his brain. He is a pathetic wet cat and every eldritch god he meets wants to fuck him so bad it makes them look stupid. Hes serial killer on accident but also on purpose. Hes british and half of the media hes from is him whimpering or gasping- but it isnt horny- hes just so miserable. He loves art, he beat a widow to death with a rock one time. Hes iconic, hes wife material, he had a severed head at one point (not his).

Round 1; Snapdragons Vs A bouquet of lily, red spider lily, daffodils and milkweed

If you know who they are, or are pretty sure of it, please don't tell until this poll has ended!

First, let's talk about the Snapdragons

Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Snapdragons represent deception, graciousness, elegance, and strength. Depending on the actions of the protagonist, she can embody all four. If the protagonist try to save her, she'll be kind, polite, and harmless to him for the rest of the story. If he backstab her or try to leave her behind, she'll do a 180 and fight him (one-armed if she has to) and successfully kill him (even at the cost of her own life). I'd say she's elegant in all routes. (Also "slaying a dragon" is a common trope and there are many methods to kill her in her media) Description: Snapdragon is a mysterious but potentially powerful prisoner that will change depending on what the protagonist believes about it. (Pronouns used are she/her because the protagonist was told so) If the protagonist is terrified of her, she can be either a goddess or a demonic being. If the protagonist sees her as an enemy to take down, she is something that is dangerous but can be won against. But if the protagonist pities her as a prisoner and does what he can to save her, she is weak and powerless. (Conversely, if the protagonist doesn't give a shit about her, she'll be something with an inconsistent appearance giving uncanny valley vibes) The only true way to stop her is to believe she's dead, and even then she can become undead or use the last of her energy to do something if the protagonist is paranoid enough.

Now, let's talk about the bouquet of lily, red spider lily, daffodils and milkweed

Meaning and why this flower was chosen: Lily is a big one for her, because of their strong ties to religion along with rebirth, something she metaphorical goes through (though her rebirth isn't exactly pleasent). Red spider lily is also a big one, since the death of her mother and the resulting grief are what tips her over the edge and causes her to make the decision she makes. Daffodils are often given for forgiveness, and that's what she ultimately seeks. And milkweed because she likes butterflies :) Description: She was born to an extremely religious mother who abused and isolated her for years, and as a result she basically saw herself as a walking sin against god. When she got older, she (unknowingly) made friends with a real demon who posed as a priest and managed to manipulate her into killing her mother. She immediately regretted this and begged for forgiveness, her friend responded by locking her in a church and telling her that if she kills enough sinners she'll be forgiven. She's killed dozens of people in the hope that she'll be forgiven, but in reality the souls she kills just get eaten by the demon, and she's doomed to be trapped until her soul eventually gets eaten too.
