A lovely couple commission for dear @strawberrydemonart 🌺✨🍓

These cuties are their OCs, Fable (Abe) and Meala a married couple living in a magical land in the Alps. As themselves described:

Abe is a Sagittarius and has a twin sister. He’s very adventurous and is a skilled magician, fire magic is his specialty and he has a wealth of knowledge about the magical and natural world ( but not nearly as much as his sister). All he’s ever wanted though was to settle down and start a family. His sister often ropes him into adventures though but family is very important to him so it’s not all bad.

His wife is Meala, a shepherdess, cares for sheep and alpacas and harvests their wool. She’s a talented cook and has a beautiful almost magical like singing voice. Meala is a Virgo and motherhood is very important to her, she’s always wanted a big family but struggled to conceive she does have two children with Abe one that’s more independent and another that is more cuddly. She has a good relationship with Abe’s sister and has gone to her a few times for pregnancy elixirs and even named her last child in honor of her. Her hudsband Abe is pretty smitten with her. Abe actually really enjoys seeing and made most of her clothing and even her wedding dress.

Besides drawing them, I had a challenge of choosing appropriate flowers that would be symbolic of their relationship and personalities, pretty much as I did in this OC x canon fanart of mine of Merida and Artio.

The background flowers:

Edelweiss: The Edelweiss is often considered a symbol of rugged beauty, purity, and strength. It has been associated with the Alpine region and is regarded as a symbol of courage, devotion, and love.

The flower Meala is holding is called Alpine Pasqueflower. The Pasqueflower is sometimes associated with rebirth, renewal, and protection. Its blooming in the early spring can symbolize the awakening of nature after a long winter.

I chose the Edelweiss because it's a symbol of the Alps and also courage and devotion. Meala's been through difficulties to conceive and I can only imagine how it must be painful and I admire her for her endurance. The Pasqueflower is symbolic of this endurance they both been through and the ability to overcome challenges 🙌🏼🤲🏼

Thank you for commissioning me 🌺✨

“  i never make a promise i don’t intend to keep.  ” (Rafe)

Yesterday, the first tentative buds appeared on a crop of pasqueflowers. Small, hopeful shoots of delicate purple, peeking towards the light in a crescent shape along the eastern edge of the cabin. Then came the storm, turning skies dark and drowning the land beneath a fresh blanket of snow. 

The spring blooms would survive. Rafe had seen it before. Just as he had sat on the old hardwood stool upon the porch, coffee in hand, watching the horizon lighten with the dawn. Last season though, there hadn’t been the kid, dragging a sled up the nearest slope and sliding down again. Over and over. It was safest to burn off these bursts of energy under the cover of darkness. Then she’d sleep for hours, the science infecting her system remodeling her cells with a blueprint none of them had figured out yet. 

“I can’t promise you this is going to turn out the way you want, Sarah.”  

An admission made by the flicker of firelight. It hadn’t been easy for Rafe, adjusting to not one but two ladies bursting into his life. Keeping steady for the younger one came more naturally. Letting in Sarah, if only to his thoughts, to his concerns... that stayed a struggle. Yet he did his best.  

Sarah hadn’t pushed either. Didn’t ask him to give a guarantee or false hope. Instead, she rested a head upon his shoulder to watch the flames kiss and dance over their bed of kindling. When a log shifted, sending sparks up the chimney like fireworks, Rafe draped an arm around her. 

He couldn’t promise anything. But he damn sure would try.

YELLOWSTONE COLONIES SEASONS

let’s start off with something nice and simple: seasons!

yellowstone national park is a sprawling landscape located in the temperate coniferous forest biome, which is marked by warm summers and cool winters. being temperate, the land does cycle through four seasons—but, they’re not clearly defined by deciduous forest standards of 3-month-long springs, summers, autumns, and winters. additionally, because the dominant tree type is evergreens, observing the changes of the leaves is not a reliable indicator of the season.

because of this, the yellowstone cats have developed their own names, lengths, and identifiers for their seasons, where they look to animal behaviors to determine the current one!

THE BLOOM

the bloom is the equivalent of early spring, with march being the only month of this season. it is named after how the land wakens from its winter slumber, ‘blooming’ into a flourishing land of plenty once more. the most common indicators of the arrival of the bloom are:

the appearance of mountain bluebirds, western meadowlarks, ospreys, and american robins

the emergence of grizzly bears from hibernation

and humans snowplowing the park's interior roads

THE THAW

the second season is called the thaw, which equates to late spring and the entirety of summer. its duration is april to august, and it is called the thaw as it is the season when animal activity really kicks up. winter fully sheds its grip on the environment, and the cats do not yet have to prepare for the next freeze. it is marked by:

APRIL

the appearance of ruby-crowned kinglets and wilson's snipes

the emergence of black bears, marmots, ground squirrels, and chorus frogs from hibernation

bison calving

bison and elk returning to higher elevations, with elk dropping and regrowing their antlers

growth of buttercups, shooting stars, and pasqueflowers

and an increase in human visitors and cars on the road

MAY & JUNE

elk, moose, pronghorn, and bighorn sheep calving

wolf pups emerging from their dens

cutthroat trout starting to spawn

ruffed grouse starting to drum

growth of glacier lilies and bitterroot

water levels rising due to snowmelt

and humans fishing in the rivers

JULY & AUGUST

bison rut

water levels dropping

wildfires are more prone to occur

and a greater increase in human visitors and cars on the road

THE FEAST

the feast is the most important season, being their autumn before winter. taking place from september to october, the third season is named for how animals prepare for hibernation by becoming hyperphagic and stocking up on food! the traditional indicators of the start of this season are:

elk rut

animals preparing for hibernation

deciduous trees entering fall colors

snow accumulating at higher elevations

and a decrease in human visitors and cars on the road

THE FREEZE

the final season is called the freeze, which is appropriately named for being the colonies’ winter! grueling and arduous, the freeze tends to be the most challenging season to survive through, especially if one inadequately prepared during the feast. it spans november to february, and is signified by:

bighorn sheep rut

bison and elk migrating to lower elevations

mule and whitetail deer shedding and regrowing their antlers

coyotes and foxes snow diving

snow accumulating at lower elevations

and a greater decrease in human visitors and cars on the road

Some Easter decorations because the little ones were visiting yesterday.

Spring flowers from the garden and a souffléd brioche bread and butter pudding ready for the oven, it was made with lemon curd and zest and blueberries as a good contrast to the sweet bread.

Finally, my lovely Pasqueflower (Pulsatilla vulgaris - a member of the Buttercup family) has flowered in a very timely manner seeing as it's strongly associated with Good Friday and the whole Easter period.

The striking purple Pasqueflower is now a very rare plant in the UK, restricted to just a few chalk and limestone grasslands and found on only a handful of nature reserves. It flowers in the spring, usually around April, its petals sitting cushioned on feathery leaves. Legend has it that Pasqueflowers sprang up in places that had been soaked by the blood of Romans or Danes because they often appeared on old barrows and boundary banks. However, it's more likely that these sites are favoured because they tend to be undisturbed chalk grassland.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sports Show returns for 82nd year

For Wisconsinites, late winter inspires optimism. By early March we’ve weathered the worst of the ice, cold and snow, and although we may be weary and the landscape may be brown, we know a gift called spring is coming. Soon, sandhill cranes will “kadoodle” through our skies and settle in our marshes. The first green shoots of pasqueflowers will push up in prairies. The hard water will give way to…

Okay so earlier today I made this post

And I am still both exasperated and fairly pissed off about it

Look, here’s the thing. Someone went to an Iron Age grave-field. All of those that exist in Sweden are protected by law. ALL of them. This means you shouldn’t be digging there without permission in the first place.

Someone went to this grave-field, bringing a shovel/trowel with them with clear intent, and dug up a plant that, at least in Sweden, is RED-LISTED and is only known to grow in a few different places in the country with a limited range. Back in 2017, we had only 3 of them in my home-county. Only 3 plants. And apparently now, it was down to 1. A single one in my home-county. Meaning, it’s pretty damn rare. Besides that, the plant is also fairly sensitive, so people are now worried that it’ll die now that it’s been moved into someone’s fucking garden. Which means, no more of that plant in my home-county.

A theory is that it might’ve been mistaken for a pasqueflower, which grows here and there in general in Sweden. God knows a lot of people mistake the two for each other. But, as it stands, it is not a pasqueflower, but a SPRING pasqueflower (or arctic violet). It’s not the same, and it’s very rare. AND PASQUEFLOWERS ARE ALSO PROTECTED IN SWEDEN, SO IT’S STILL FUCKING ILLEGAL TO DIG THEM UP

So someone went with clear intent into a protected area and dug up a protected plant. Double-whammy. Two potential charges. Literally, this can lead to a court-case if they find out who the fucker is.

Is it weird that I’m this upset about a plant? Maybe. Idk. Idc. Still gonna be mad about it for a while.
