Daisy: What do you feel is your greatest accomplishment?

Hollyhock: Describe your ideal day. 

Lavender: What’s your favorite thing about yourself? 

And last but not least

Sweet Pea: How much sleep did you get last night? (Be careful about this one lol)

Thanks for asking!

Daisy: What do you feel is your greatest accomplishment?

My greatest accomplishment... Off the top of my head:

When I was 10, there was a poetry competition in our school, and you could either say someone else's poem or a poem you made yourself, and the poem had to be about nature. I decided to make my own, named it Flower and said it there. Four of the judges (teachers) and the 30+ contestants (other students) heard my poem, about Flowers, and everyone loved it. Everyone said I should win, including the other girl who was the only other competetor (she had said William Shakespeare's poem) for first place. ONE judge, I think she was the head of English, said that mine didn't flow as well or didn't sound as good as this other girl, who said an actual poet's well known poem. EVERYONE said that I should win, including her, mentioning that it was my own so obviously it might not sound just as good off the bat, but she refused to budge and I got second place. My parents were very salty back then because it was my own poem and it was so good that there was a vote between me and the other girl and everyone voted for me but that one judge just. I don't know. I suppose it wasn't a democracy, even though that's what they'd said it was. I got second place, and then they never gave me a certificate for it. I'm salty about it now but back then 10.year old me was just so happy that everyone was on my side. Everyone knew who the actual winner was (me) but that teacher was in a world where only her thoughts on "someone's own beautiful poem doesn't matter as much as a dead poet from some hundred or so years ago poem being said nicely" mattered and unfortunately that world was ours that day. But yeah. I was better and I know that well. It did effect me tho because some point after that day I stopped sharing my poems as much, even though it was one of my first really good poems that I was very proud of.

(Sorry the saltiness arose with that story😅 I'm sure there are better achievements but this one always comes to my mind first)

Hollyhock: Describe your ideal day.

Wake up before the sun rises and go on a nice walk as it rises, make a poem, code until about 9:30, make myself food and watch a movie while I eat (if I'm hungry), have a shower, write for a bit, draw, read something, organise stuffs, go out and enjoy the evening air and write a poem, spend time with my family, have dinner (if I'm hungry), go in some new rabbit hole and info dump, write, read, art, go to bed 1AMish (fall asleep close to 3AM with ideas in my head), repeat.

And Tumblr happens at like. All time. (I don't put Tumblr on a schedule)😄

Lavender: What's your favourite thing about yourself?

My chaos and alienness and insanity. All of its technically one big intertwined thing so...

Sweet Pea: How much sleep did you get last night:

Ouch. Fear fear fear. Abort.

I slept at about 12AM. Woke up at...

I slept about 5 and half hours, I believe. Actually, less than that, perhaps? I woke up twice or thrice this night and it took me between thirty minutes and an hour and half to fall asleep, I believe (Sorry, Remsha, but I'm supposed to be honest in this)

Hello I loved that one hibiscus + nayuta writting, so wanted to ask for something with my fav flower, Nayuta + Blue hydrangeas, I know most of the hydrangeas meanings are bad, but I've already learned one cute meaning for this blue flower "Sincere gratitude from the bottom of the heart", so if u can I'd be very happy 🥺❤️

Blue hydrangea - apology, regret, gratitude

Helloooo im sorry it took so long djbddkd. Im happy u like my writing. Im not sure if this one is up to par and its kinda short by my standards but i hope u enjoy it. A bit angsty yeah?

To Nayuta, meeting you was a stroke of luck in his bleak life. Just like meeting Shiki was. You couldn't quite remember how you met him but for Nayuta he remembered it very clearly.

He wasn't sure what you were even doing in the alleyways of the slum. You looked lost. You didn't fit in at all with what you were wearing, clearly indicating that you weren't from around here. At first he was just going to ignore you and go on his merry way until misfortune struck.

Of course sticking out like a sore thumb in the back alleyways was going to attract unwanted attention. Bad company seemed to notice you had a lost look as you wandered the streets.

Nayuta was going to ignore it but when he saw the way those people were looking at you, despite being a stranger, he couldn't help but feel like it pricked his conscience. So there he went and became the knight in shining(?) armour for you.

After managing to chase away the pesky people he was just going to leave it at that but you didn't let it go. You wanted to repay him somehow. Nayuta kept turning it down but eventually he gave up and just agreed. That's how the two of you started to meet each other. Hang out even. The rest is history.

It was silent, peaceful, quiet, any word that relates to those. That night was like that as you lightly slumbered in your bed. It wasn't until someone knocked on your door that you woke up. It was quite late at night so you wondered who it was. You groggily looked through the peephole to find….. Nayuta? You opened the door and there he was with a bouquet of blue hydrangeas.

“Nayuta? What are you doing here so late?” You asked as you glanced at the flowers. “With flowers nonetheless.”

“I just wanted to see you.” Nayuta gently placed the bouquet in your hands. He thought you looked cute with your half opened eyes and bed hair.

“See me? This late at night? You can just see me tomorrow, you know?” You were confused with his actions.

Nayuta seemed to hesitate before he gave you a kiss on the cheek, making you blush slightly. “Thank you… for everything.” Nayuta hugged you tightly as he said that. As if he didn't want to let go. As if it's the last time he might see you. Like you would disappear if he let go. That's all he did before he waved you goodbye and left having a slightly bittersweet look on his face.

You were confused, stunned by what just happened. Why did he come to see you so late at night? Why did he get you flowers all of a sudden? Why did he act like that? Little did you know that really was the last time you would see him. Was it Shiki or Kanata that broke the news to you? You didn't remember. All you could do right now was sit on your bed clutching the bouquet he had given you last night. Sobbing to yourself wondering what happened for it to come to this. Why he had never told you about the experiments that were runned on him. Why did he come to thank you for being with him before ultimately he did that. Would you ever get to see him again?

Hi!

For the flower asks, Daisy, Lavender, and Tickseed.

Hi Paige!

Daisy: What do you feel is your greatest accomplishment? 

I actually just got my real estate license which is incredibly exciting - I had to study immensely hard to get it and I'm so relieved that I have it! So yeah, right now, it would be that.

Lavender: What’s your favorite thing about yourself? 

Physical trait? Probably my smile or my eyes. I also give really good hugs (at least according to multiple sources) :3

Non-physical trait? Currently it's how I don't really take BS anymore. If there's a problem I don't beat around the bush - I'm direct but not mean, if that makes sense? I dunno, emotional/mental intelligence and empathy I suppose!

Tickseed: What’s your main reason to get up every morning? 

To bring joy and experience joy with those I love. Plus, if I don't, then the world loses my capacity to make it a little bit better. Every day is a new opportunity to laugh, to eat something good, to talk with friends. Things suck right now and that's putting it lightly, but there are always opportunities for joy and to bring joy to other people. That's why. ☺️

Thank you for the asks! I needed these. If you'd like to ask any more, you can find the post here!

Basket of Gold: Describe your family. 

Ken, can you describe your family in Barbie Land? It can be the family by blood or the one you made with your friends.

Oh! Okay so first of all, my little brother Tommy is like the coolest little dude in all of Barbie Land. Like for real, and I’m totally not biased at all. He’s one great kid!

And then like I’ve got a really big family I’ve made with my friends. Like Allan, Best Friend Ken, Artist Ken, and Athletic Ken are definitely my brothers too.

And then on the sister side I’ve got Weird Barbie, Baker Barbie, Crafting Barbie, and Witch Barbie.

They’re all like the best around. They’re some of the best I know in Barbie Land!

Can you draw Saint playing with bongos?

she quite likes the bongos even though they hurt her hands after a little while

[mythals-whore]

Sweat Pea and/or Narcissus for the flower asks :)

Finally getting to these(: thank you to my beloved mutuals for sending the asks!

These are from Flower Asks if anyone else wants to play! (you should, I want to know more about everyone's Rooks)

Sweat Pea: What is something Rook’s partner could do to make them come undone sexually?

Had to think about this a minutes BUT i think there’s a fic-canon answer to this i can give. Pretty early on in the Davrin/Cyri insufferable flirting stage, Cyri gives him some ~tips~ including that her neck/ears are sensitive and from that point on, every time its specifically remembered eyes are rolling back ya know?

Bc Rook has had like a decent amount of sex but not with anyone who paid so much attention. So its a combination of the physical ‘it feels nice’ and the mental/emotional ‘he remembered and cared that one throw-away thing i said once’

Narcissus: Are there any physical attributes about themselves that they like?

So I think in general, Cyri knows she’s pretty/that other people find her attractive and in general thinks she has a nice body. If specifically asked, she’d unabashedly say that she has a nice ass (and she’s right, shout out bioware) HOWEVER i think post Veilguard/after she’s been with Davrin a while she’d say her nose because at some point he tells her she has a perfect nose and she laughs and asks how she could even have a perfect nose like…what does that actually mean? And Davrin can’t explain himself because the truth is just that its her nose. Anyway it becomes an inside joke but secretly Cyri finds it really sweet and from then on does agree that she has a really cute nose.

Monkshood and/or Mistletoe if you are playing the flowers ask game :)

I am and thank you for asking!! It’s helping me procrastinate doing what I should be doing lol

For anyone interested, the Language of Flowers asks are here 🌸

Answered: Forget-me-nots & Sweet Pea, Monkshood & Mistletoe

Monkshood: Does Rook ever think about their own death?

Yep! Pretty regularly if not terribly often before the events of Veilguard? Before she joined the Crows as a fledgling, she spent several weeks caged with a dead body and then very nearly drowned approximately 2 seconds after getting out of said cage and that kinda thing has a way of fucking you up for! :D life! :D I will say she was much more blasé about her own death before falling in love with Lucanis. She’s a touch more afraid of it now than she used to be, if only for his sake. She doesn’t want to leave him behind or be another name on his list of losses. Sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night to make Spite swear ridiculous just-in-cases promises they’ll never tell Lucanis about. They’re in cahoots to keep him alive forever. Very normal of her to make deals with someone else’s demon (spirit? something in the middle of those two poles?)

Mistletoe: Describe a kiss that meant a lot to Rook.

One of the first times Selora and Lucanis (literally) slept together in the Lighthouse, it was on that ugly green chaise so they were already kinda squished, there was a cliché move where she rolled over and he pulled her in close and just sorta rested his lips on her forehead???? She doubts it was ever intended as a kiss or even that he was awake enough to do it intentionally but she was utterly ruined by it :’) It was also the first time she remembers thinking that she would kill whatever (or whoever) she needed to keep him safe.
