thank you for responding and allowing requests! i wanted to please ask if you would be okay to draw gehrman and maria gathering lumenflowers?
There you go anon!! 🌻🌻🌻🌻
I said it earlier but it’s absolutely an adorable idea 🥹 You could have just come into my dm and ask me i would have done it no problem! Thank you for asking i was waiting for such an occasion! ❤️
And have some headcanons about them and the lumenflowers as a bonus :
Ok so i imagined that pthumerians probably used to grow them before but you can’t find those flowers in Yharnam anymore.
Maria’s pendant represent of course a lumenflower and she had a rare dry up specimen.
At some point the old hunters & healing church went to Loran for research purpose (for me the surface of Loran is very similar to the nightmare frontier) And in some caves they finally found them, The lumenflowers 🌻✨
At least Maria found them and was just so freaking happy. She screamed so strongly that it worried everyone at first 😅
Gehrman was just half concerned because it sounded more like a « i’m surprised type of scream » rather than a « i’m in danger type of scream ». But yeah she’s fine she just find our precious and rare kin flowers that grow in the dark and glow x)
If she wasn't at the camp or in the underground catacombs (chalice dungeon) she went into the small caves + accompany Caryll & Rom who tested things with the augurs and the flowers.
When they came back to Yharnam, they took some lumenflowers back with them. Like I drew here. They hoped to be able to cultivate them. (Because it's link with the great ones etc. That was before the hamlet too)
It was a project that mostly Maria & Gehrman did together. As Maria have lot of theoretical knowledge on plants and Gehrman have lots of practical one! (they already did that at Byrgenwerth XD Gehrman was a groundskeeper. One of his activity was planting flowers yes XD and after meeting Maria she gave him advices on the timing of when each species will bloom so it would create even prettier flowerbeds. He taught her about medicinal plants too).
I mean those two planted the workshop's flowers and some little trees as well.
After it work out and many plants grew and survived, they put them in what will become the research hall/ orphanage
What about the huge lumen flowers in front of the astral clocktower? Euh... idk Maria tried something I guess 😅 I suppose corpses getting buried at their foot had some effect...
If some lumenflowers remained at the workshop/ other places than the research hall, after Maria passing, Gehrman didn't keep them growing at those places.
