Amaryllis the Blind Florist

Hey Everypony. Amaryllis is my name..b..but you can call me Ama or Mary for short. I am a blind florist who moved recently to Ponyville and hopes to start up my very own floral shop! I'd..love to make some friends.. also please be patient with me due to my disability.

Mel-Mod: Yeah, ... correct the weeks to months and years = 7 =" Gomen everyone for like disappearing, life is a bit hectic with ups and downs coming and going like a roller-coaster of events. I am still studying, still writing my master thesis, and on top of it I started a small part-time job beside my thesis to earn some coin and perhaps I be moving again soon. Lots and lots of things. I am currently mostly active on my IG accounts and anthro artwork platforms then on here, but let me tell you: I dearly miss my two girls. The uncertain part on my end is, if I can come back to tumblr with the blogs or not. It is a work in process to figure it out, but given the little time and even less energy I have these days it might be a good while till something surfaces on the blog on here again. The thing is, I have stories to tell but it lacks motivation and mostly power at the end of the day to attempt drawing anything, not even speaking of story updates or multi-image posts. I genuinely miss being around tumblr and other blog-owners, as it has been the most positive community I have ever been part off, but as for now I am uncertain of the future of the blog, even if I do miss the interactions with others. I just wanted to put a little sign of life on here since it has been a while, even if it is filled with much uncertainty.

Hope you all have been doing well over on your ends, and I shall retrieve again back to my little corner in the world. Stay save and take care out there! Sincerely, Mel-Mod. -slinks away-

Have a surprise upload! I decided not long ago to doodle some redraws of some of the café cast. So have a Sidus, Floe and Kankaal! All three being ones you've met on the blog so far!

I recently began looking into restructuring the café cast again, so we'll see how I go about it. These three will remain, that's for sure! And I'd imagine most of the others will as well, but we'll see to what degree.

Thought to give you guys something since I haven't really been in the mental headspace to draw a lot as of late- Plus busy busy busy with school, as one is.

This is the work in progress of a possible character that might appear on one of my blogs I've been meaning to update- Just not managed to do so yet.

It's not certain that he'll have batwings yet as I am struggling. But he'll likely have wings at least. Have some notes on him!

He works at a flower shop, though he's not often the one to be at the front of the store due to his quiet and rather reserved nature.

He really enjoys making fake plants that look near identical to that of real plants.

He's not exactly shy, just quiet and soft when he speaks. If someone isn't paying attention, and decides to speak over him, he's more likely to just go quiet and not repeat himself or even try again. Why bother, pretty much.

He can be fairly unapproachable, as he tends to give people he doesn't know the cold shoulder. But once befriended, is the type to stick to you like glue. Very social with those he care about, often going as far as to wanting to be on call just for them to talk about whatever, while he works. To him that is preferred over any podcasts, music or anything else.

Update 10/10/22

[Mel-Mod]: Not sure if an update on things is necessary as I have been on a Hiatus for quite some time now already and am certain that it might be a while longer until I can come back here and to drawing again. I haven’t really made this a subject but ever since January things has been rough on my end, it truly felt like a curse has been put on my family for whatever reason by whomever.

From war breaking out in Ukraine, where I was born and raised before moving to Germany at a young age, caused by the aggressor, to evacuating my grandparents, who lived there still, to a lot of arguments between me and one of my family members, to helping with all the paperwork to an unexpected cancer finding and a following infection causing a lethal outcome…. with days of long grief and sorrow filled with tears and heartache confronted with the painful new reality finding it’s end in a loss, peaceful and without pain, yet fueled with more weeks of depression, tears and a heavy pain in our chests. I am barely finding energy to stand up lately also caused by not having supplements I need right now and with these things happening over the last few month I am very tired and worn out mentally and physically. My master thesis is not even started and I am confronted with a huge semester-bill now since I’m over the tolerance line count-wise as of how many semesters I should have finished in. I haven’t touched a pen for months, have no energy to sit down and think about updates, can’t find motivation to come back. I truly miss my blog, my girls, interacting with other blogs and as much as I wish to draw, I just can’t do it. I am sorry for my absence, I am not sure how much longer this blog will remain dead, I was thinking about deleting it and leaving tumblr but decided against it as I know I would miss being around and seeing all the other blogs’ updates along with this community. I am also sorry towards my two girls, I love them with all my heart yet I can’t draw them, not yet at least. There is still a tiny spark of hope in me to one day come back and I hope this spark won’t die. All I can say is, stay awesome as you are, stay save and hug your loved ones, spend time with them and make bright memories with them, life is cruel and unpredictable.

[Mel-Mod]: With 2022 slowly coming to an end, I really can not wait for it to finally end.

Sadly this year was filled with much pain and sorrow, which both continued through-out November where I had to watch another family member go... I had to sadly help my sweet cat of 17 years cross the rainbow bridge... I wasn’t expecting a goodbye when we were on our way to the vet, but I felt in my guts that this is probably the last road we take together and seeing the rainbow we drove under along with seeing her look at me with these eyes as if she was already saying goodbye, I knew this was coming.

Making this decision was the painfullest but the vets had no chance to help her anymore and I didn’t want to make her suffer just to have her around a little bit longer, I am not that selfish.

She was feisty till the end with the vets and made a last leap into my arms, where I hugged, kissed, sang to, talked to and petted her in her final moments, I was there till the very end and just hope she wasn’t scared or in pain and hopefully felt safe while she was going... I still feel her warmth in my heart and treasure all the bright warm memories she left behind along with a bit of her fur and her most favorite ball toy.

It’s been almost a month (17/Nov/22) since she left and I just hope she is bathing in the warm sun or jumping through the clouds chasing butterflies and hopefully one day we’ll see each other again when the time comes... I miss her dearly and love her forever, she was my best friend and lives on in my heart.

Thank you Juja for 17 years filled with much warmth, love, purrs, your funny ways and ankle bites, rest in peace my soft sweet angel with whiskers <3 I have not much hope left in me anymore, but with this little spark left, I hope with all my heart for a new better year 2023. Stay save my friends, thank you for sticking around despite my ongoing hiatus and not many positive things I can sadly communicate about. I be taking my time and hopefully I can come back on here when I am ready again.

[Princely] “Howdy Hey folks! I’ve been inactive longer than expected- sorry about that… THINGS ARE STILL COMING!! I’ve just been taking a bit of a break and throughout the weeks have been drawing as much as I can to get out of artblock and such. Otherwise, have some Artfight attacks and some other misc drawings featuring many of my OC’s!” You can find more of my art on my Instagram! I’ve been a little more active there! THE NEXT POST IS ABOUT SHADE BTW, FUNNY GRUMPY DRAGON BOII

[askablindflorist]

[Mel-Mod]: A tiny Merpony Amaryllis doodle I did during May and thought I could post it here -  she’d be very lost in the waters as the magic she uses to navigate herself would be all over the place, so she’d need someone to rescue her lol - also I want to take the moment to apologize for my absence, things are quite challenging over on my side with real life and I have barely time and motivation to draw anything atm. I really miss drawing my two girls, I am trying very hard on my side but I can’t promise to come around the corner with any updates soon. I considered doing text responses but I feel that it would be a bit too boring and miss the point of the ask blog plus some asks require drawings rather then texts. Anyway I am very sorry for being more or less ded but I appreciate everyone who’s sticking around still patiently waiting for the return of the blog, hopefully I can return when I am permitted. Stay save over on your sides and have this little doodle as compensation -rolls back into the void-

Top-Surgery Pre-op and Post-op Costs Commissions!

I have been lucky and blessed to receive a surgery date for my Mastectomy (Top-Surgery) at GrS Montreal for July 15th 2022! I had thought I would have to wait another decade for this to happen, so the month of notice is being used to earn funding for all costs that are not covered by insurance and Canadian healthcare.

I cannot reschedule this date else I will lose that granted funding for the surgery as a whole (these costs are everything else) so I have 5 weeks to raise at least a large chunk of the funds asked for! 

In short I have opened a Go-Fund-Me for the month of June - where all donations (20$ or more) will get a Plushie Doll of their OC or Canon Characters! (Humans/Mech/etc Welcomed!!)

I will also be doing open Donation-Dolls Streams every Friday for the whole month of June! 

The Total cost for everything that is required is 9500$ Canadian ( 7,500 USD) and the cost breakdown is listed below as well for transparency (hah)

Every cent counts and I will do all I can to pay you all back for the kindness you have shown me! :D <3

If Go-Fund-Me is not accessible to you I have also set up a Ko-fi and I will be taking any commissions through the whole month of June (they will be worked on between the Donation Lists)

[Mel-Mod]: Please be sure to check out Tay’s Post and commission him if you are able too! I love his art and hope that he’s able to raise the money to get the surgery he was trying to get for so long now! Reblogs and shares are also more then welcome to spread the word!

[Mel-Mod]: Tumblr - A place that never fails to surprise = 7 =“ ------ Response to @dawns-laboratory​ and @theblindfoldedprince​

[askablindflorist]

[Mel-Mod]: I don't think it is necessary to post about as it is obvious due to my absence anyway, but this blog is on a hiatus atm. idk for how long and if I ever can come back to it even if I truly would love to, but with things being the way they are right now there is not much hope as for me to be able to draw for a good while. Real life is being a villain right now with some covid cases in my close family and me who got to handle family burdens and responbilities while things are being resolved hopefully. gomen but as much as I wished to be active and partake in several things, my hands are tied. i miss drawing but I just have no energy for it right now. gomen you guys. thank you for sticking around and until then. stay save.

Amethyst: … *what one does for business* Amaryllis: Uhm.. please only on the cheek… I am sorry,.. I hope you don’t mind. [Mel-Mod]: -crawls out from the dead- I AM ALIVE EVEN IF A BIT LATE DKFJHSDKFH -lies on the ground- Anyway I know it is not particularly fitting anymore but I still wanted to draw a tiny something as so many showed interested so here we go. I couldn’t horse so I made my girls into anthro.

You can insert your OC kissing one of them but please make sure to credit me if you use the predrawing, so I can check the lil drawings and try to make a little interaction sketch if I can ; v ;” You can also make your own drawing if you like ofc, you don’t have to stick to my drawing here, I also think I messed up the resolution so yeah e H e”

As for the girls: Amaryllis doesn’t mind kissing those she feels close too like friends and those she interacted too, tho she would feel a bit uncomfy kissing girls normally but cheek kisses are totally ok. Amethyst doesn’t mind who she is kissing, tho she is a pretty tall girl so just you know :’D

But anyway I am alive just very slow due to university tasks gomen. Hope you enjoy even if it is a bit out of season but hey… it is still winter after all and valentines day is around the corner, not sure if I’ll be able to draw anything for it but we’ll see. But for now here you go u v u -rolls away into her abyss-

[Mel-Mod]: gomens for my radio-silence … some things happened a few days ago and I am pretty much devastated… why I wasn’t able to come around to make gifts and respond or write msgs to some people… just know that I am alive over on my end and gomen for being so absent and silent….and since it’s the time of year, here have the mistletoe meme I made back in January… i know it flopped but that’s alright, I just thought the drawings turned out quite well so why not reblog and bring these back. you are free to interact if you like ofc but you don’t have to if you don’t wish to, alternatively you can ofc draw your own mistletoe drawing in response if you like or feel comfier with pony anatomy then anthro-fied ponies… for me it is easier to draw anthro-anatomy but I am learning pony anatomy slowly. Amaryllis is the small little shy girl while Amethyst is that tall beauty, i love how these two are so different yet Amethyst will tear anyone’s head off who dares to mess with her precious little cousin Amaryllis lol

Splunge Sheep: Truthfully I wanted to draw a response last year, but was a little too busy. ^^; So glad I imagined to work it in this year! Hope you don’t mind this response.

Moon Flower had to be pushed to speak up, but Maua isn’t shy at all. I like how these OCs parallel each other a bit! XD

[askablindflorist]

[Mel-Mod]: OMG this is precious!! Thank you so much for the response, I live these so much especially the parallel of your characters! Moon Flower is a sweety and Maua just went and went for it to swoop Amethyst off her feet to place a kiss xD I love Maua's energy, it def. got Amethyst by surprise for sure to be kissed like that and I am sure Amaryllis would be really happy and excited about the wonderful present and would love to be Moon Flower's friend! Thank you so much for this response, hopefully I can draw something back soon! And gomen for the late reblog, the last few days have been a bit stressful gkdkgkf but look everyone please be sure to check out @askdaisydandfriemly !!
