Victorian Language of Flowers - Floriography

Flurs , Wirt( 1831), Shoberl( 1839), Waterman( 1840), Edgarton Mayo( 1843), The Flowers Personified( 1847), Dumont( 1853), Language and Sentiment( 1866?), Tyas( 1869), Greenaway( 1884), Diffenbaugh( 2011), Victorian Bazaar, aka, season, Sci. name?, origin( on Earth) abatina, fickleness abeceda...

Behold! The grand chart for flower language compiled by @hasty-touch & @halonic. After being introduced to it, a number of folks have taken to using bouquets, delivered within Ishgard (and perhaps without) to convey messages. Can confirm that House Pepin delivers discretely and provides excellent service.

We were destined for this golden love.

PSA

I love every fanfiction author on earth !!! Thank you so much for using your own time to provide us with a free(!) story to read that is 10x better than every book I have read put in one!

For long fic writers: Your detailed fics are so amazing and you amaze me every single time with the amount of research and time you have put into your beautiful works! Whether I am looking to kill time or just want something to distract me you have provided me with that, and I am so glad we have writers like you!

For short fic writers: Your fluffy/angsty/smutty/all of the above fics are so nice to read after a long day! When I just need something small because I don’t have the energy for something long, you wrote something for yourself and shared it with us, and I am so glad that we have writers like you!

If you write fluff; Thank you so much! I love reading your self-indulgent fics. They are so sweet and adorable and those characters definitely would do that.

If you write angst; Thank you so much! I love reading your painful fics. I’m always excited to see how it will end and if things will ever get better.

If you write smut; Thank you so much! I love reading your own fantasies(or realities, or just what you chose to write). They make me smile and blush.

If you write romance; Thank you so much! I love reading about my otp falling in love over and over. Even if it is cliché, it’s also unique and I’m still  surprised each time.

If you write about platonic relationships; Thank you so much! I love reading about my favorite best friends and siblings. You bring something not often seen and your courage is amazing.

If you write crack; Thank you so much! I love reading your random fics. They make me laugh time and time again and even if they are weird and ooc, they are amazing too.

If you write anything else; THANK YOU SO MUCH! Whatever it is you write, it is amazing and I love it. 

I know my singular opinion doesn’t mean much when there are millions of people on this earth, but I want it to be heard!

I LOVE FANFICION WRITERS. YA’LL ARE THE REAL MVPS.

Happy Fan Fiction Author Appreciation Day!

Have you ever experienced the joys of producing something so magnificent, so utterly beautiful, or magical, and yet the journey to get to that point was filled with such a rollercoaster of emotions that you may or may not wish to attempt such a fate again?  Such dealings always begin with the happiest of emotions, maybe in the heat of the moment when passions run high and swift to capture the heart then suddenly those sentiments cool, even just a tad, leaving the bearer despondent that somehow, they had misjudged the narrative of actions.  But just as quickly as those concerns flood the mind, the bearer is taken again into the throes of an ardent love affair, recaptured by beautiful prose, and ready to ride this wave of ecstasy as far it would take them.

Be forewarned that while the idea of creation may be very attractive indeed, the journey produced by such an incident could lead one to many days or weeks of discomfort, followed by months of painstaking planning, and execution.  It is a laborious condition, you may scream and cry, you may laugh and shed more tears, the pain may be excruciating at times, and then fizzle away once you’ve made a break through and birth new life where once one never existed.  

If those aspects appear as ones you could live with then by all means I’d encourage you to jump right in because the end result will be one of the most satisfying accomplishments of your life but if something was to go wrong, it could also break your heart in two.  Fears of acceptance, judgments over your handiwork, is it beautiful or is it ugly, a masterpiece of conception or flawed from the moment it was given consideration? Will it fit into the framework of your genus or become an outcast with a dead lineage?  So many trepidations to consider, but again, if the perfect outcome is a possibility, the consummation and fulfillment of a life-long dream attainable, maybe momentary pains are not so much a hindrance to writing a brilliant novel.

To all those tireless writers who battle through research, writers block, and sleepless nights.  New writers to seasoned veterans, occasional writers to non-stop.  Shorts to novels.  From concept to completion you make us laugh and cry.  Who fill in plot holes left by canon, or take us to new worlds we never knew possible.  We love you and Thank you for doing what you do!
