Okay, I gotta hammer this one out before I post today’s dog cuz I made some tweets about it last night when I was in bed and now that I’m awake I can articulate it better.

So obviously we all know that Dr. Habit’s backstory and overall character arc puts great significance on the tooth lily, to the point where you can’t get any sort of good ending if you hadn’t taken the time to carefully go through the steps to grow one yourself and then present it to him in the final confrontation. It’s incredibly meaningful to him. I was getting ready for bed and passed by a vase of (artificial) stargazer lilies I keep on my dresser and remembered exactly why I keep them.

This post is prolly gonna confuse a lot of you who see it through the Smile For Me tags and possibly also those who followed me more recently, but just hear me out anyway. In my original series, Theia Historica, the main region most of the story takes place in uses a floral code to represent various LGBT+ identities. I can throw anyone my notes on this if they’re interested as I’ve gotten a decent chunk of it hammered out, but the important thing here is what lilies as a whole represent: asexuality. I’m taking this connection and rolling with it, I’m gonna headcanon Habit as ace now!

Now of course this equivalence isn’t exactly perfect, given that I do support the idea that Habit’s a dude who is at least romantically into dudes (haven’t figured out exactly how I support this, as in which romantic identity), and the color code I’d put together for such things are orange lilies for single gender romance and another color that I can’t remember off the top of my head for multi gender romance, but the point is that neither of them are HIS lily. The tooth lily...I can’t really tell personally due to either in-game color palette/overlays or my eyes being weird, but it looks anywhere from white to cream. Aaaand while I don’t have a signifier for cream-colored lilies, I did set it that white lilies were for aroaces. Though honestly, considering that SFM doesn’t take place in Prismari or Theia in general (Trevor specifically mentions Questionette is “possibly French”, and France does not exist on Theia so clearly this is an Earth story and also what the hell is the likelyhood that LimboLane would even know anything about my original series like why did I include this specific example when occam’s razor would say there’s no reason for them to know about an obscure in-progress novel series), it’s not that deep and it doesn’t have to be. And hey, it’s MY flower code, and if the tooth lily’s more cream-colored I can set it up that cream-colored lilies are for men who love men to make things match more. Anyway, this flower code connection goes great with an equally valid justification of my new “Habit is an ace mlm” headcanon along with “cuz I want to”. >:-3c

Dammit, now I want to draw Habit with the flowers that signify the headcanon stuff. Tooth lily obviously, a geranium for trans (yup I support that widely popular headcanon too :-D), and maybe he’s got a few mlm-compatible flowers in his hands trying to figure out which one suits him best.

The MLM character of today is:

Greggory Lee from Night in the Woods, who is gay!

[mlmshowerthoughts]

bi guys are so amazing!

no matter who they’re primarily attracted to,

even if they’ve only liked one guy or one girl in their whole life

or if it’s an even split between the two,

they’re so valid and so, so lovely!

[mlmshowerthoughts]

i love you! drink some water, take your meds if you have them, take care of yourself as best as you can today <3

[mlmshowerthoughts]

all i want is to wake up to another man’s body against mine, to take his hand in my hand, to press kisses into his hair as he wakes from a good night’s rest by my side

[mlmshowerthoughts]

it might take time, but you will:

-stop thinking about that toxic ex

-start living for yourself, not others

-realize your self-worth

-discover your talent and inner beauty

-have enough money to live comfortably

-pay off those student loans

-find someone you’ll spend your life with

-wake up one morning and feel happy with where you are

while you might not be there yet, it is coming. you deserve it, and much more.
