Solangelo Headcanon (2): Flowers

(1)

A lot of people headcanon that Nico knows a whole bunch of languages right? Well, I feel like he'd also be fluent in the language/symbolism of flowers (curtesy of Persephone).

When he ends up developing feelings for Will, Nico has no idea what to do with those emotions, and he doesn't want to suppress them as it only causes him pain. So instead of verbally saying his feelings, because he definitely wasn't ready for that, he uses flowers.

Whenever he's overwhelmed by emotions, he just...shoves a flower or two at Will, assuming that he won't understand their meanings because usually only the Demeter cabin did.

And at first, Will is a little confused, but finds it endearing and eventually buys a vase to store all the flowers.

(The flowers never die because they're from Persephone's garden.)

Overtime though, Will starts to get curious and researches what each flower means, only to be blown away by how sweet Nico is because he was basically just confessing to him this whole time.

So the next day when he finds Nico, he gives him an entire bouquet of red roses and tulips and Nico accepts them.

That's how they get together.

(And hidden in the background, the Demeter Cabin cheers because they had been keeping tabs on the situation since the first flower Nico had given Will.)

(...this will be somewhat included in my Son of Persephone Nico AU)

The reason why Kouyou raised Chuuya well but failed with raising Kyouka is because while Chuuya was given a family where he never had one, Kyouka was taken away from a family she loved and that loved her back

#“A flower that blooms in the dark can only survive within the dark”– #my sister in Christ you were the one who took that flower away from the light #kōyō ozaki #chūya nakahara #kyōka izumi #bsd #bungou stray dogs #mine #q. #And tbh it wasn't entirely Kouyou's fault. #Like she was given this kid to train and okay Kouyou could have handed Kyouka over to authorities– #(could she?? I'm not even sure it was an option tbh) and set her up for adoption but she probably genuinely thought– #with the pm and under her attentions Kyouka would have eventually found happiness #Because that's the only scenario for happiness Kouyou ever got to know yk? #She couldn't picture a place where Kyouka could be happier because she never knew one could exist #It's just like Isabella offering Emma to become a mama in t/p/n– #because she believed that's the best chance of happiness a girl like her could ever have in that world #a world that can't be changed for both Kouyou and Isabella #06/06/22

A few more “canon” designs, a few more new ones (Patreon)

#Doodles #Villainsona #Just Desserts #A quick distraction-foray into a Winx style since I'd gotten the Enchantix itch for a second haha #Other than making her wings doubled I really didn't know how to make her Classic design more Winx-like lol #I was going more for the first transformation rather than Enchantix and I mean - Techna is covered from head to toe so it's not Out of style #I am unabashedly biased towards her Classic design lol ♪ #Not having a fixed design for her TVAU outfit did at least encourage me to try Something a bit different for an Evil Enchantix at least #(Gods now I'm just imagining Dark Bloom Enchantic?? Yo - thankfully some artists have given their interpretations :D) #Anyway tho lol - the bottom half of her design seems to be what always trips me up #At least for Enchantix there's kind of the excuse that she needs the fairy vine-shoes thing - she normally wears regular shoes haha #All that said I think the Winx style doesn't completely suit her anyhow :0 She's not really meant to have such stylistic curves haha #All the more reason to return to WOY! It's fun :D #Two semi-canon outfits - the first one much moreso than the second since that's her self-designed TVAU outfit! #To be fair Kaiein rejected that one and not me lol probably on account of the cape muddling her silhouette #No Capes! No matter how cute she looks in them haha #And then the second (especially happy with her expression on that one hehe :3c Watch out) being from when she cornered Cherry Shortcake! #I was incredibly correct about her wings at that point - I think both versions having their own appearances is very good #Denoting influence and emotions and points of time - kind of like her wings and Evil Time in Classic! #The Staff looks so tiny in this style as well haha ♪ #And then the last three! More rejects but mostly just done for funsies anyway haha #I still prefer Charm in more fantasty-adjacent fashion but she's cute no matter what so a bit of semi-modern is fine every once in a while #Spooky mask leaves some mystery and fear of the unknown lol #More ink themes - it suffers from the same problem as her drip-modified outfit just not a strong silhouette! I think it's a neat pose tho #And finally trying to find something that would work well with the wings - they can appear pretty much anywhere on her back so #It can be kinda hard to have a definitive ''No matter where they sprout from this look won't clash'' #A loose top with a tube top underneath is cute tho :) Might be willing to give a slightly more thematic version pulled into the JD style #And so help me I will find a proper top-hem style for her pants! Gosh!

Hi there - big fan of your blog! I actually revived this old tumblr so I could keep track of BL content from you and a few others. I also subscribed to Gaga on your rec and have started watching some of the old shows on there. This week I tried one of the explicit Japanese films, which leads me to my question.

I started with Dangerous Drugs of Sex, and I had your trigger warnings in mind so I went in with kind of a morbid fascination. This one didn’t really hang together all that well narratively, and I got preoccupied with all the plot holes (like where did that sex dungeon of doom come from if he decided to save him on a whim??) and weird character notes. So I’m wondering - are any of these films actually GOOD? As in, a coherent story, characters that make sense, a somewhat satisfying or at least fitting end? Or are they all kind of like this, just a giant mishmash of triggers and sex acts and weird?

Oh that is a good question. Hum. Are any of the pinks or higher heat dark BLs from Japan good? Objectively from like a narrative and filming perspective.

Hum. How about I approach it this way: 

Darker or more atmospheric and arty Japanese BLs that I remember not regretting watching because of quality & style: 

2008 Forbidden Love - don’t get me wrong I HATE this BL but it satisfies your criteria 

2017 Double Mints - same again 

2019 His: I Didn't Think I Would Fall In Love the series

Pornographer movie series - AKA The Novelist, Mood Indigo, Pornographer Playback (2018-2020)

2020 The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese: Kyuso wa Chizu no Yume wo Miru

No quite dark not quite BL but very different but interesting:

2015 Wait For Me at Udagawachou: Udagawachou de Matteteyo

2018 Does the Flower Bloom? 

2020 His the movie 

(Here's my original post on the subject.)

Me: Bianca deserved so much better and her and Nico's relationship should've had more screentime!

My brain: Maybe you should write a fic about it

Me: [ignores other WIPs] okay, I'll write a short little oneshot

I forgot that the original reasoning for using fairy dust to become smaller was that winx needed to have pure souls to get to the water stars, so they used the fairy dust to purify themselves. which means that bloom’s fairy dust seems to work perfectly fine on everything except on herself and implies that her incomplete enchantix powers can’t purify her fully - there is darkness inside of her that she just can’t get rid of

#interesting #i smelled samcoded potential like a shark smelling blood and i ran with it #no but like how fucked up would that be if bloom couldnt become mini bloom not because of her incomplete enchantix #but because of her time with darkar and dark bloom #or even her connection to valtor #honestly even without all this #i still wouldnt want her anywhere near another dimension created specifically to seperate water stars from the dragon flame #winx #winx club #winx club season 3 #winx bloom

Song of the Day: February 24

“Dead Now” by Frightened Rabbit

#song of the day #'I'm dead now check my chest and you'll see / the life has been mined from me / burned for the heat' #going to be out of the house for a week next week and realized I'm going to have to leave my plants behind again #my poor plants. they've only just finished recovering from last month's neglect #(my begonia is still flat on the one side where it got smashed but the other side is not only healed but blooming!! a little flower for me) #at least Duncan will be here with them this time around #I might have to message him reminders so he'll know what day of the week it is to get the watering schedule right but that's fine #there's no way he'll leave them in the dark and it turns out that's what I should have been worried about before #the uh the plant worries are separate from the song choice. the plant thing just happened to occur to me right now #the song's just stuck in my head. singing 'I'm dead now' to my dinner

Only at god awful times do I start thinking about teeange!Sue & the type of shit she had to go through at that age, as well at that being around the age range when she finally snaps.
