Chrysanthemum - Tumblr Posts
Spring with the burn of the Sun that gets lost in the wintry winds of the shade, the bloom of a million flowers from the cracked earth of the desolate days of the past, the renewal of life and spirit, the wandering feet changing paths enchanted by the bounty of nature, the hope that germinates from the ruins of past, the crunch of fallen yellow leaves beneath my boots, the green of budding leaves that dominate the pupil of the eye, the time for choosing between cold coffee (probable cold and cough) and hot lemon tea (probable burn of the throat), the joys of laying on the lawn with grass sticking to hoddies that would bid farewell soon (unless you're weird enough to wear 'em in summer cause HOODIES duh), the lazy lay in sun cause cats do have a lot in common with humans...
Deirdre. For Inktober. Watercolors and Ink.
I fancy the sketch actually looked better than the finished version. Oh, well.
This is set in the first season, when Lin is on leave after resigning, Tenzin would have sent her a "simple bouquet with a simple note" but Lin knows that those flowers were carefully chosen.
According to Google, violet chrysanthemums are for "the unbearable pain at the idea of losing a loved one" and white peonies, apart from being good for weddings, are also for apologizing...
In conclusion, Tenzin has broken Lin's heart again
Who are these new friends tom?
“You know, before I met them, I used to just bottle up my thoughts about Rose until I would have a small run in with Redd, but now that I’ve met them, we share mutual feelings over Rose. I haven’t even talked to the boys about Rose before... hm...”

#EnvironmentalUse
I never really was a flower kind of guy. Sure, I gave flowers to people in the past like my mother or my loved ones but, they had never grabbed my interest.
But Chrysanthemum plants, really touched my sore spot. They are one of the four symbolic seasonal flowers but really start blooming in early Autumn up to entire November month. So, you don't have to worry about some little freezing nights because these flowers will stay beautiful.
And if you decide to keep them inside, they will reduce the indoor air pollution and leave the house with more fresh air. So they have an environmental use and are the perfect flowers for Halloween decorations.
As they say, without plants life on earth would not be possible.

She was in heaven.
After walking past the flower shop over and over on her way to work, she finally got the time to go inside and get lost in between the beautiful flowers. The different smells surrounded her immediately and the lively colors seemed to twirl around her frame.
Stopping in front of some red tulips, she admired the color in awe. It wasn't a vibrant type of red, it was more like a dark and deep tone that swirl around the petals.
"How beautiful are these ones" she murmured, while smelling some of them.
"You like them? I came up with the color myself" said the only employee of the store. He had greeted her warmly when she arrived.
"Really? Like, while growing them up?
“Yes” stepping closer to her, his smile never faltered and his hands kept busy trimming and arranging different flowers.
"How you do get them to curl like that?" she asked curiously. It was so different, she was intrigued. Flowers were always a favorite of her, but this was the first time seeing that specific color and patron.
“I can't reveal my secrets completely, otherwise I'll be out of business" he answered cheekily "But it's most likely due to the consistency. I take little sprouts and grow them with my signature colour and voilá! This gets created.” He smiled candidly, his eyes almost disappearing.
For the second time that evening, she felt suspended in time in that shop. But on this ocassion, it was because of him. She got lost in his expression, eyes kind, rosy cheeks and full lips; calling her, tempting her. Strangely, she also felt at ease in his presence. It was so peaceful and the flowers were so pretty, she felt the urge to learn his secrets.
"I know you just said you won't reveal your secrets, but do you think you can teach me?" she murmured timidly "It's okay if you don't want to, but I really would love to learn".
He took his time thinking, she could see he was weighing the pros and cons of the proposition. Softly touching the flowers, he kept looking at her pensatively, until he seem to reach a conclusion.
"If you promise me not to reveal my secret, I can show you tonight".
"I promise! I just want to know how it works, nothing else!"
He laughed, bending his body towards the floor, a hand in his mouth and his eyes nearly closed.
"Sure, no problem".
And just like that, an arrangement was made and she agreed to comeback after hours.

A little nervous, you knocked on the back door of the flower shop. It was a bit later of the time they had agreed to, but the bus has run late. You were afraid he got tired of waiting, had changed his mind and was already home.
Opening the door, he smiled sweetly at you and ushered you inside.
"Did I take too long?" he asked, guiding you to a flight of stairs that led them to a basement "My lab is down here and sometimes it's hard to hear what's going on upstairs".
"No, I just got here. Don't worry".
Reaching the basement, you noticed a lot of the space was dark and was covered in plastic. And just like he mentioned, once he closed the door, you couldn't hear anything from outside.
"I got everything ready to show you how it works". He moved swiftly between the plastic, until they reached a table with regular red tulips and chrysanthemum, some clean vases and no other liquid besides water.
"Sorry I don't have enough chairs, I usually work standing up". She was about to say it was okay, when he continued "Here, you can sit on the table".
Since the table was tall, he helped you hop up and in consecuence, you knocked a glass and it broke against the floor.
"Oh! I'm so sorry" you said, voice embarrased and cheeks turning red.
"Don't worry, it happens all the time" stepping in between your legs, he held your hips and helped you move and avoid getting a cut on your exposed thighs.
"Let's clean this first" he said, but kept looking at your eyes and then at your lips. Your body got warm at his words, he was a handsome man and you couldn't deny that he was also, sweet and caring.
"You are really pretty" he mumbled, more to himself than to you. Before he could step away from you to clean the mess, you grabbed the upper side of his apron and pressed him to your chest.
"And you are really handsome" you whispered to him, smiling.
Fiercely, he leaned into you and his lips captured yours. Knocking your air off, his hands got tangled in your hair and his crotch got pressed to yours. Desperate to touch him, you moved your legs around him and tried to touch his neck with your hands. But before you could do it, he yanked your hair eliciting a loud moan from you, and grabbed your hands holding them above your head.
Rutting into his cock, wanting to feel him hardening, you didn't realize he had clasped your wrists around a chain. You only felt his tongue licking the roof of your mouth and one of his hands holding yours. That's why it surprised you so much, when you felt a sharp pain in your left thigh.
"Auch" you said, breathing raggedly and struggling while trying to look what was that.
You got surprised, when you saw your leg bleeding. But you got more shocked, when you realized Jimin was holding a piece of broken glass in his hands and that yours were still above your head, tied with something.
"What's going on?! Please release my hands" you begged, scared for the first time. You didn't know this man, if this was his type of foreplay, you didn't want any part of it.
"Didn't you want to learn how to make my beautiful flowers?" he said, making a bigger cut on your thigh. Your cries got louder and you struggled against the chains.
"This is how I made them" smiling, he put a huge bowl under your leg and you looked in horror how all your blood started to get collected there "Instead of water, I just use blood. It transforms in this rich, almost burgundy color and like I said earlier, the consistency curls around the petals instead of filling them".
You cries got louder, and desperetaly you started screaming. You knew something was wrong, because your leg was bleeding too much and it didn't show signs of stopping.
"Scream all you want, no one can hear you" he said, shrugging his shoulders and gathering some tulips to start dyeing them "It's better to dye them when the blood is still warm you know? Sadly you won't get to see the results, I imagine you might be feeling sleepy already".
Surprised that he was right, you barely could keep your eyes opened. Making a last effort, you tried to kick him while screaming, but he just avoided you and your body felt too tired to listen to you.
You tried again, but you simply didn't move. Without noticing, you had started to feel more and more dizzy. Trying to keep your eyes opened, you saw him dyeing flowers while humming a random song- You didn't care anymore, suddenly everything felt too tiring.
The last thing you saw before you closed your eyes and fell asleep, was one of the tulips starting to show the curls of your blood on its petals.
