I think I will just be over here crying abt Rowan actually talking to plants
Nico Hiraga as Seth Acosta in MOXIE (2021)
theirfight:
[ ❖ ] — another day STRUGGLING to stay awake while he stood behind the register, watching the same old faces wander the aisles. his life was becoming FAR TOO PREDICTABLE, he needed something different, something exciting. he could almost CRY when he’s told to take his break, but crying wasn’t really his style. so instead he RUNS to the back of the store, grabbing his BEAT UP lunch box and making a run straight to his car. well, until he runs into rowan.
rowan was someone jude had seen nearly every single day since he started his job. and by now jude at least enjoyed seeing someone who wasn’t trying to LECTURE him about church, or a family with a kid who CRIES a bit too much. rowan was different, there wasn’t any other real way to explain it. and it wasn’t until he saw rowan’s hair that he realized it was RAINING outside. but to be fair, he should’ve been able to tell by the FLICKERING LIGHTS, and water POOLING all around the floor.
“ — hey rowan! ” he pauses, SCRATCHING at the back of his head. “ I, uh–I am actually just about to eat lunch. ” he says, AWKWARDLY shaking the lunchbox in his opposite hand. “ wanna join? we can sit in my car and COMPLAIN about the weather. ” he jokes, a sort of grin on his face.
maybe the offer is a joke, but that doesn’t really seem to matter to rowan. or maybe he just doesn’t figure that out at all. “well, that sounds kinda fun, honestly.” as nice as the grocery store was, it wasn’t exactly the most appealing place to have lunch, and rowan was kind of tired of all of the people here that were trying to talk to him about this or that already. rain always put him in a bad mood, left him feeling just a little too tired.
“i mean, if you’re actually offering. i like, kind of need a real break for once, i think.” head even tilts a bit, and there’s something so genuine about the way that he says these words. he never realizes how hard he’s working himself until moments like these, apparently. “i can promise that i’ll be great conversation. and that i’m really good at complaining about weather, specifically rain. so, i’d be great company for this specific scenario.”
There’s a gentle knock on the door before he enters Nessa’s place. “Uh, hey.” He’s being quiet, but only because of the hour. He’d been woken up by her call, and while he hadn’t mentioned that, it was obvious enough by the way that he’d shown up in his pajamas. Not because he was worried about the plant, but instead, because he was worried about her. She’d sounded pretty worked up on the phone, and there was no way he wasn’t going to make sure everything was alright.
Door is closed gently behind him, before his hands end up on his hips. He might look serious, if not for the tired expression, and the messy hair, and the slight smile. “So uh, where is the little guy?”

there’s a familiar ring of a bell. it’s fairly early in the day still, but he hadn’t heard a lot of it so far. so instead of standing behind the counter, he’d decided to go and check up on all of the plants placed around the shop. it was always his favorite part of the day.
still, the possibility of a customer makes him pause, and he moves up onto his toes so he can see over a couple of displays. “oh, paige!” there’s a bright grin that comes to his lips, and he waves her over to join him. it was always nice to have a friend stop in.

Love people finding out rowan can talk to plants. There’s no proof you just have to trust him
wait! its too dangerous to go alone, take this! *puts my hand in yours* 🥺
officially canon that rowan’s sense of style is buying the ugliest clothes at any store and making it work

yeah so funny story is that while at ace Rowan couldn’t do much as far as his powers went. he was always sick and weak because of the lack of sunlight in the place, so while he could make plants grow, he didn’t have much energy to offer. the truth is that rowan could do a lot. he could be extremely powerful, and extremely dangerous. but honestly? he doesn’t like stressing the plants out by forcing them to grow so he just kinda. Doesn’t use his powers for that
does anyone want to plot
Personally I think rowan is not the most academic and when he was dropped into school at age fourteen with no idea about anything, it was so difficult and terrifying and embarrassing and he felt so dumb ALL the time. and he moved schools a few times and making friends was difficult as well, so school was Never a good place for rowan. he skipped a lot of it, too. the only reason he didn’t drop out sooner was because he had no other place to be. the second he got that job at the greenhouse, it was pretty much an instant decision

‘ i’ll find you again , wherever we end up next . ’
‘ the enormity of my desire disgusts me . ’
‘ please , one more kiss in the kitchen before we turn the lights off . ’
‘ i’ve been lost but i’m here now . you’re the only person who has ever been able to find me . ’
‘ almost dead yesterday , maybe dead tomorrow , but alive , gloriously alive , today . ’
‘ you are not broken . ’
‘ you can love and be loved , despite what may feel like the eternally brutal nature of the world . ’
‘ i did violence to my own heart . ’
‘ will i be forgiven for the sins i did not commit , but created ? ’
‘ i would never kiss anyone who doesn’t burn me like the sun . ’
‘ i would rather break the world than lose you . ’
‘ i think you and i have known each other in a few lifetimes . ’
‘ i didn’t know . i had no idea how greedy my heart really was . ’
‘ is that why the idea of losing you torments me so much ? ’
‘ how long have i been without you ? ’
‘ am i foolish for wanting this ? it will end in flames . it always does . ’
‘ sorry about the blood in your mouth . i wish it was mine . ’
‘ if i love you , is that a fact or a weapon ? ’
‘ tell me how all this , and love too , will ruin us . ’
‘ and you realize the one person in the world who loves you isn’t the one you thought it would be . ’
‘ it cannot be a mistake to have cared . it cannot be an error to have tried . it cannot be incorrect to have loved . ’
‘ finally , i plead guilty of adoring you . ’
‘ a child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort . ’
‘ without realizing , i find it in myself that i cannot stop thinking about you . ’
‘ tomorrow , when i wake up , i promise , i will be better . ’
‘ someone has to leave first . this is a very old story . there is no other version of this story . ’
‘ when i imagine myself , i am always leaving . i couldn’t draw my own face if god asked . ’
‘ do we simply stare at what’s horrible and forgive it ? ’
‘ i wanted to let go of the pain even though it was the last thing that felt alive from you . ’
‘ have i endured loneliness with grace ? ’
‘ i’ll be your slaughterhouse , your killing floor , your morgue and final resting , walking around with this bullet inside me ‘cause i couldn’t make you love me and i am tired of pulling your teeth . ’
‘ and then my soul saw you and kind of went , ‘ oh , there you are . i’ve been looking for you . ’ ’
‘ sometimes it feels like someone else is wearing my body . ’
‘ i spent my life arguing how i mattered until it didn’t matter . ’
‘ who knew my haven would be my coffin ? ’
‘ dead is the safest i’ve ever been . ’
‘ i’ve never been so alive . ’
‘ you know what i was gonna tell you before , but didn’t have the nerve ? you got your name written all over me . i got my name written on you , too . ’
‘ you already are something . you always were . and you still have time to be . ’
‘ you know me by heart . it infuriates me that you know me by heart . ’
‘ why am i waiting for you ? hungering and thirsting for you in every cranny of my soul and even in my ribs ? ’
‘ you came with a handful of pain and a smile which broke the ground under my feet as the earthquake does when two people meet . ’
‘ the only good thing is that i’m getting used to suffering . ’
‘ the return to time was not my choice . ’
‘ we are built to live inside each other . this means we are built to ruin . ’
‘ time does not bring relief ; you all have lied . ’
‘ time does not know how to keep our hopes safe . ’
‘ you needed me so much that you had to end me . ’
‘ there are days where i am morbidly in love with you , and this is one of those days . ’
‘ i know no end to desiring you . ’
‘ i fear that i am both too much yet not enough . ’
‘ yes , yes , yes , i do like you . i am afraid to say the stronger word . ’
‘ a heart’s a heavy burden . ’
‘ life , as i see it , is all about farewells rather than reunions . ’
‘ heaven is real and you only had two minutes to prove it to me . ’
‘ it was already love . ’
‘ everyone desires love but also finds it impossible to believe that they deserve it . ’
‘ i’ll love you until i forget how to . ’
‘ i’ll love you until i forget how to and then i’ll fall like my knees aren’t already bruised from doing it and i’ll remember why you’re worth the ache . ’
‘ of course i’ll hurt you . of course you’ll hurt me . of course we’ll hurt each other . but this is the very condition of existence . ’
‘ nothing makes me sadder and nothing makes me happier than you . ’
‘ i love you and i do not want to love you , it is too much and too difficult . ’
‘ grief is just love with no place to go . ’
‘ i felt my life with both my hands to see if it was there . ’
‘ you do this , you do . you take the things you love and you tear them apart . ’
‘ i hope it’s love . i’m trying really hard to make it love . ’
‘ if you touch me again i might burn up in the cold air . ’
‘ i asked you not to leave several times . ’
‘ i’ve only adored you lifetimes ago and here we are . it’s nice to see you again . ’
‘ all time ever does is pass and all i ever do is remember . ’
‘ i feel as though we were never strangers , you and i , not even for a moment . ’
‘ i’d choose you ; in a hundred different lifetimes , in a hundred worlds , in any version of reality , i’d find you and i’d choose you . ’
‘ nothing about this is soft but we pretend . ’
‘ maybe you and i are just a dream . ’
‘ i know you loved me too , you knew me , and it gladdens my heart . ’
‘ i promise i shall never give up and that i’ll die yelling and laughing . ’
‘ i don’t do anything with my life except romanticize and decay with indecision . ’
‘ the world was made so that we could find each other in it . ’
‘ you don’t meet the people you love , you recognize them . ’
‘ i think you and i have known each other a few lifetimes . ’
‘ this body knows fear like a front porch knows welcome – it is always coming home . ’
‘ i miss you more than i remember you . ’
‘ if i could have done it all again , i would have loved you better . but i could not have loved you more . ’
‘ we could have been happy . i know that , and it is perhaps the hardest thing to know . ’
‘ you want a better story . who wouldn’t ? ’

@jeansgenie said: “you don’t have to talk, we can just sit together.”
“well, if I’m annoying you, just say so.” though, this is said sarcastically, entirely lighthearted in tone. it even comes with a bright grin, which is funny, considering the more serious tone the conversation had before. rowan has always hated sad moments, hates the idea of sitting in one for too long, especially just sitting in silence. “no uh, thanks dude, but i’m good. and i’m not just saying that, i mean it.” and is it really so hard to believe with the way his smile looks? he’s gotten good at faking them, apparently.
“besides, i like hearing you talk.” he offers the other a small pat on the back. and he does mean that, even if it’s just because it means rowan doesn’t have to talk.
