I freakin LOVE the Pawn AU already! I would love to read this if someone wrote it! I also LOVE your art and stories!!!
Question about the Pawn AU, are the flowers meant to represent the Reader being metaphorically blind to what’s going on around them?
That would make sense as to why the flowers fall when they find out the truth.
Adding onto that, is the other eye still covered because they are still blinded by their “uncle’s” lies?
Last thing, is the flowers covering the Reader’s eyes a “Flower Fell” reference?
HhhfhHHBFH IM GLAD U (AND THE OTHERS IN MY ASKBOX, I SEE U AND I APPRECIATE U) ARE LIKING THE PAWN AU!!!! I was worried it would be Too Much or Too Weird/Out There for ppl to like but so far everyone has been so nice and I LOVE seeing this much interest in my silly angsty-love-triangle-of-betrayal au hfhhf
To answer your questions- Yes!!! The flowers DO metaphorically represent Florist Reader being blind to the ugliness that is the underbelly of their own life: from Sun and Moon first befriending them because it was their job to, to Eclipse being both a crimeboss AND (at first) attempting to manipulate the situation for his own gain, to their dear Uncle’s whole entire,, everything, right down to the truth of what happened to their family and why their “Uncle” raised them.
When the boys’ secrets are spilled and they all have to come clean, half of the flowers wilt and fall off because they’re now seeing one half of the truth- the other flowers remain until they accept the reality of who and what their Uncle is, only falling out entirely when they confront the suppressed memories of what happened the night their family died.
(During the reveal of the boys’ secrets, all three of them tried to tell Reader about their Uncle and who he is and what he does and why they felt that they had to do what they’d done, but, seriously, WHO on EARTH would ever want to accept “hey, the man who raised you and got you gifts and loved you and who was the one and only constant in your life, who you love and look up to and feel like you owe everything to, is ACTUALLY one of the criminal industries biggest, most feared bosses in living memory” from three people who JUST ADMITTED TO LYING TO YOU FOR LIKE AT LEAST A YEAR???? Not this wet napkin of a florist apparently. It takes at least a few days for them to actually sit on the information and digest it for them to start digging for information and asking questions)
As for your last question I never actually got into flowerfell and. In all honesty forgot it existed until someone in the Space Ace discord asked the same question skdhdjdhhsdb,, so no but ur not the only one to think that, I just thought it would be a bit of neat visual symbolism hhhfbfgdhd
