Red dead gang + flowers
Arthur Morgan - Dudleya cymosa; Canyon liveforever, native to California cliff faces and craggy areas, thrives in the sun and blooms vibrant red and orange cymes. Pointed rosettes of succulent leaves form the base which sends out a delicate bloom in early summer. This flower is also the one found in the terrarium jar on Arthur's bedside table.
Tilly Jackson - Helianthus annuus; Common sunflower, a showy plant native to grasslands in the US, its undomesticated form is a branching annual plant with many flower heads. Its domesticated form is an important food crop grown both for its seeds and seed oil. It's common in sunny gardens, where its unmistakable bright blooms attract pollinators. Commonly symbolizes longevity and adoration.
Sean Maguire - Tripolium pannonicum; Sea aster, native to Ireland, a very hardy plant that requires very little to thrive. Showy purple blooms usually a bit ruffled, but all the brighter in their seaside environments.
Charles Smith - Quercus alba; White oak, a staple crop for thousands of years, white oaks of the Quercus genus are amongst the most important habitat species for wildlife in North America. These trees provide food, shelter, fuel, and fertilizer for countless native flora and fauna, and oaks are among the few trees that thrive in both open fields and sheltered forests. Their diminuitive flowers (catkins) are wind pollinated and mature into thousands of acorns per tree every 2-10 years. Traditionally associated with bounty, wisdom, and protection. (Not a flower in the traditional sense, but catkins do count and white oak really REALLY suited Charles so I'm putting this in)
Dutch Van Der Linde - Pueraria montana; Kudzu vine, a hardy, subtropical plant introduced to the US with bright sweet pea flower spikes in spring. Rapidly spreads to completely cover native flora, shading out and crushing plants and depleting habitat for mutualistic wildlife. This vine is a noxious invasive in the southern US.
Hosea Matthews - Triticum aestivum; Wheat, grown as a staple crop around the world, wheat has many uses and is considered the backbone of western cuisine. Often grown in wide monocrop fields, mature wheat's golden color makes for a striking image. Commonly symbolizes bounty and resurrection. (Yes, grass (Poaceae) is a flowering plant family!)
Mary-Beth Gaskill - Viola riviniana; Common dog violet, native to europe, its nodding purple blooms can be found along roads and creeks in lightly shaded areas. Flowers in this genus traditionally symbolize modesty and humility.
Abigail Roberts/Marston - Rudbeckia hirta; Black-eyed Susan, a popular midwest native wildflower common in gardens for its sunny florets and contrasting center. Its association with gardening is a long established one, and traditionally symbolizes encouragement, adaptability, and determination.
Molly O'Shea - Passiflora alata; Winged-stem passionflower, a species native to the south American tropics and known for its visually distinctive red petals and exotic striped filaments. A delicate looking nodding flower with an edible fruit, commonly cultivated for its medicinal benefits and its beauty.

Im writing a D&D oneshot based on nerdy prudes must die!! It’s set in hatchetfield, everyone makes nerdy characters and has to basically live through the musical, but none of them die like Richie or Ruth. It ends with them summoning the lords in black and facing off against max, each giving up something they charish most
Pretty close to the musical but I’m very excited

i headcanon that all the curious siblings are trekkies but they're all different kinds.
pascal still thinks redshirt jokes are peak comedy and probably wrote trashy spirk fanfiction at some point or another. probably has a self insert oc all planned out in his mind. he likes all the shows (except enterprise) but still thinks tos is the best.
vidcund is the kind of guy who hates the word trekkie and insists you call him a trekker instead. he only likes tos and tng. he's a stickler for canon. he fights with pascal over who gets to cosplay spock at cons and insists he should because of the bowlcut.
lazlo makes ds9 shitposts and celebrates threshold day. his favorite character is quark. he speaks klingon. always does alien cosplays at cons. he insists his brothers give enterprise a chance but to no avail.
jenny is also a trekkie but she's more normal about it now that she's older and busier. she beta reads pascal's spirk fanfiction. she was a spock fangirl growing up and that probably sparked her fascination with aliens which we all know really paid off.

New OC. He's an old-timey British psychiatrist who works at one of those fancy beautiful humane asylums for rich people. Haven't settled on a time period yet but probably early to mid-20th century.
He is morally conflicted about the lack of accessibility of the lower and middle classes at his place of work. But he absolutely loves his patients, and he's kind of an "anti-psychiatry" psychiatrist like R.D. Laing or Thomas Szasz. Like he'll take his patients out into the woods for midnight bonfires and stuff. He's into like, Jungian psychoanalysis or some shit.
He's single and probably closeted gay and he throws himself into his work and doesn't know what the fuck else to do with his life. This guy has no other hobbies other than A) Working and B) Poring over medical/philosophy/psychology textbooks and C) Writing long-winded research papers and analysis. He was probably bullied as a kid for Understandable Reasons, lmao.
Also, he walks with a limp and is skinny as fuck due to some Mysterious Health Issue. Probably dies tragically due to it idk
