Persephone and the Anthousai (flower nymphs) sketch. My little head cannon for them is that they are sown and nurtured in the Elysian Fields before reaching maturity and moving to populate the mortal realm.

King

The darkness made him who he is today. Able to see without a light, not afraid of anything, and grateful for what he has.

Rampion Bellflower - Also called the Creeping Bellflower or the Repunzel, it has the meanings of Unwavering Love or... Love in Vain Sundew - A carnivorous family of over 194 species, the only meaning found was that of Surprise, as its beauty is a trick to draw in unsuspecting prey

"Come now, brother," Dream pleaded, following the other deeper into the wood in their battle. "Let go of the evil inside you and come back to me―"

"Evil? Me?" Nightmare scoffed, grabbing Dream's ankle before picking him up and slamming him into a tree. "That's not a word strong enough to describe me," he hissed, causing Dream's eye to widen. He opened his mouth to object, but Nightmare cut him off. "But don't you dare forget when you look at me with those eyes that you were the one who filled this once beating heart with lies."

This is a piece inspired by our Nightmare Drosera and his backstory in To Cure A Glitch's Blues on AO3.

Hi! The quote said by Nightmare is by S.S.W. if you're curious. Yeah, we know we've been gone, but we had mental health stuff and we are back! Might be a little late for Nightmarch, but we can still post things for our story as we work on fleshing out characters before continuing.

This is our official Nightmare design for our fic, To Cure A Glitch's Blues―yes, we know the tag isn't quite right, same thing―in which Nightmare is not a skeleton or a spirit, but an Anthousai with the half power of his Hamadryad mother Nim. An Anthousai is a flower fae, not dissimilar to the Hamadryad in mythology in which a spirit would be born of a tree and live as long as the tree remained or its seeds did.

That brings up the question―what species is Drosera? Well, he is, of course, a Drosera or Sundew, a beautiful carnivorous plant that looks to be covered in glistening dew, thus the name. The second is the Rampion Bellflower or Creeping Bellflower, which is the inspiration behind the Tangled flower because of its name the Repunzel. We love the movie and the franchise, so we thought it'd be fun.

This particular plant is a deep brown/black stem with bioluminescent cyan blooms. Many of the original Drosera doesn't need pollinating, but we have something fun planned so the Bellflowers are the pollinating blooms and the Sundew are the carnivorous ones. You can see the curled-up Sundews on the end of his tentacles/vines, which can open if he needs them. Yes, Nightmare is carnivorous, and no, he doesn't have a monster soul, but a mangosteen-esque fruit at the center of his being that he protects with his very being. We call the species Drosera Lunaris, or the Lunarbloom.

Oh, and those aren't his bones.

Toodles! Hope to see you on AO3 soon!

Eranthus, The Lovers

Anthousai Bard

The Lovers represent relationships and choices. Its appearance in a spread indicates some decision about an existing relationship, a temptation of the heart, or a choice of potential partners.

In its purest form, The Lovers card represents conscious connections and meaningful relationships. The arrival of this card in a Tarot reading shows that you have a beautiful, soul-honoring connection with a loved one. You may believe you have found your soul mate or life partner, and the sexual energy between you both goes way beyond instant gratification and lust to something that is very spiritual and almost Tantric. While The Lovers card typically refers to a romantic tie, it can also represent a close friendship or family relationship where love, respect and compassion flow.

At its heart, The Lovers is about choice. The choice about who you want to be in this lifetime, how you connect with others and on what level, and about what you will and won’t stand for. To make good choices, you need to be clear about your personal beliefs and values – and stay true to them. Not all decisions will be easy either. Whatever the choice, it should not be made lightly, as the ramifications will be lasting.

I wanted to give this amazing dnd character sheet prompt by @galacticjonah a try and got a nervous fey archaeologist whose home was destroyed by dark forces and who is following a mysterious map, with a walking cane with a bird’s head that talks to him as a prompt

Honestly I had a lot of fun designing him and now I’m actually kind of invested in this poor nerd lmao
