chavela vargas and janelle monae for the ask game :>
Answering these with Mel!
Chavela Vargas: If you were to assign your F/O(s) a flower, what flower would you choose and why? If your F/O(s) were to assign you a flower, what flower would they choose and why?
My first thought for Mel was a sunflower since she's as bright and radiant as the sun lol. Looking up some symbolism though, I found the Castilleja flower which are also called paintbrushes and represent passion, creativity, and the courage to forge new paths (at least according to wikipedia). Which imo is really perfect for Mel, both because she's a painter and because she's trying to forge a new path ahead for herself and her family. Then I think Mel would assign me a bellflower, both because the purple leaves fit with Corinna's color palette and bcs they can represent gratitude and unwavering love, which she both feels towards and from me
Janelle Monáe: What are you and your F/O(s) favourite physical features of each other?
I adore Mel's tattoos, specifically the ones she originally picked out for herself. I think tattoos are such a neat way to express yourself and who you are to the world, and Mel's serve both as a work of art and armor to protect her. I'd love to trace the shape of them with kisses tbh. And I think Mel would like my eyes
