Symbols And Signs: Flowers

Symbols and Signs: Flowers

Sometimes by using flowers we can convey messages about a character and their motives. Meanings behind plants can differ by country or region and some can be completely different. Using flower symbols is a subtle and poetic way to say things. Like instead of saying Trump is wanker, you can describe him as holding Aconite, Begonias, tansy and hollyhock.

I made myself laugh thinking about an AU where Todoroki’s nickname was Todd

Welcome to Australia...

Where an already endangered species is on the brink of functional extinction...

Oh, and 500 million animals unique to this country have already lost their lives, upon homes that have been destoryed and lives lost of people as well...

I mean... we're only living in a literal inferno...

415 fires. Fuck are we dying...

Oh yeah and people are just fleeing to the damn ocean, you know?

Do you want to know what Hell on Earth looks like..?

Because there it is in all it's unfiltered, firey rage...

There it is... my home from space...

This is only the beginning. Our country has not only entered a new decade, it seems a new dawning era as well, because this flaming apocalypse doesn't show any sign of stopping any time soon.

And you know what saddens me? I've never seen Australian tragedies trending here on this website. I mean it's been going on for months and only now does it seem to really be getting recognized, even if it is only at #9.

And I'm going to be honest with you here - the internet, and media in general is so American centric, this website being no exception. You'd think that an entire continent being on fire for several months with devastating consequences would have more recognition, but no, it really doesn't. The most notes I've ever seen on a post about the Australian fires is at least a few thousand, and that's about it.

So just... please. If you can, with this post or any other post in regards to the fires going on down here, reblog. Because the only thing that should be spreading like wildfire, is a post about a burning country...

I only have one but chasing sky lanterns in your car into parts of the area you've never just gone, while fast upbeat music plays as you look up at the sky for your lantern

i see a lot of posts about like… things that remind people of each god etc etc and hermes’ is always about pranking and stuff

and i GET IT believe me dude fucks with me constantly but i find that so interesting because im reminded of him by so many other things! we all have such individual experiences and thats so cool

things that remind me of hermes, some possibly inexplicably:

-sitting outside in the shade, but i’m still warm and there’s a breeze against my face

-driving down a road late at night when it’s just me and some streetlights and music playing

-the feeling of calm after i finish an exam, especially if i’ve been asking for his help with my college journey lately

-thinking about my future and my goals

-hitting every green light on my way to somewhere, especially if i’m running late

-walking down the street and a stranger smiles at me

feel free to add on!! i love reading about everyone’s experiences with him!
