Restored/Abandoned
Ancients had followings once.
Massive, sprawling networks ever in their service. They cared little for things in the long run, but that is not to say they didnât acknowledge their followers power, their devotion, their borderline obsession.
Some watched over their believers, sometime to keep them from harm, sometimes just to know them. Some picked favorites and kept them close, even in death. Some granted desires at a whim, showering gifts upon those they deemed worthy. Some spoke to their believers, in person, or through that offered connection.
But Ancients had duties. They had realms and domains that could keep them blind to the worlds for a time that would only seem reasonable to something so long-lived.
And in that time, devotion would fade. Proof would die, and believers along with it. Their followings would splinter, their stories would grow warped, until not even their name was consistent.
They would cease to be known.
And while this did not effect them so massively, it was a shame.
It was a loss.
Now that you know of orders lost, I need you to think of a boy.
I need you to think of Danny Fenton, of Phantom, of a child who had people close to deities as role models, a strange sense of humor, and just enough spare time on his hands.
Think of a boy that would correct the broken versions of Pandoraâs myth, of a boy that would hear of Father Time and rave about a clock tower of the most intricate build, a boy who would set down grudges and tell of dreams more wild than even Amityâs waking world.
And remember, this was Amity Park. This was a place mundanely haunted, a place known for itâs mystique. So, people heard, and they considered it. A few even believed it.
Cults already existed in Amity Park. It was not hard for more to form when it was Phantom egging on their conspiracy.
And the Ancients heard, and they might have ignored. But, that child was theirs as far ghosts cared, and he had given them believers.
So, much in the way a parent might stick a hideous crayon drawing up on their fridge, Pandora and Clockwork reached out to their new followings.
And like a curious sibling, Nocturne was just entertained enough to humor Danny.
Pandora gave protection for every offering delivered, talked into the minds of her zealots, and appeared to them as she pleased.
Clockwork chose prophets, gave prophecies and future sight without any comprehensible reason.
Nocturne spirited away resting minds, hiding them away in a deeper sleep, with more powerful, happier dreams.
And as simply as that, Amity knew Ancients, and they would not forget for a long time yet.
Share your pride day 13: when did you realize you werenât straight?
I think for me it was one of those instances of kinda always having this inkling in the back of my mind that there was something not quite ânormalâ about me, I just never had the words to identify it. From kindergarten up until about 4th grade, I would scope out my class and pick a specific boy to have a crush on for the year. I thought that was normal, I didnât realize that crushes were something you just felt, not something you got to choose.
A boy called me a lesbian in 6th grade and I didnât know what it meant, but I could tell by the way he said it that he considered it a bad thing, so even though I was curious, I didnât ask my parents when I got home.
It wasnât until my best friend came out as trans in 7th grade that I learned about the lgbtq+ communityâs existence, thatâs how sheltered I was.
had a breakdown so here is mona lisa i drew in 30 minutes
has someone already made this
Writing challenge Day 13: favourite book
If you would ask me what my favourite book is, I'd probably be silent for about an hour to think about it. Then when I'm done I'd still have no answer. I've just read way too many books to pick a favourite one. So yeah, sry this is short, but there isn't an answer for this question. What about you, my fellow reader?
Day 13 - Just sketching again...was going to line it, but I didn't pay attention to line consistency, so I stopped. Lesson learned, though~
Todayâs skele is: Lord Death from Soul Eater
"Yo! Hey! Hiya! Thanks for comin', great to see you! Okay well that's about all I have to say. Have a great time tonight"
Inktober day 13

I am using a list by WinkleBeeBee!
Inktober 2019 #13: Featherfruit Flower
A rare, slow-growing flower that grows fruit where the leaves should be. Featherfruits are famously beloved by Buddys, though not everyone cares for them. They make great fruit leather, or can be cooked to use in dishes whole. They are juicy when big, though younger fruits are a little hard. Itâs best to leave the small fruits on until they ripen, long though their growing season may be.
I forgot to post these yesterday, so hereâs the next batch!
Kanebomi Plant A tall, leafy plant found sparsely in places such as coastal Furheart Iiah, some islands near Warminia Songlianne, and the nooks between Laykia Layna and Amicaia on Wing Alayna. The Kanebomi is a delicious, somewhat savory fruit on par with the Spotil in popularity. It is often imported for cooking, and since it is so rare, is rarely enjoyed raw, even though some may argue it's just as good raw as it is cooked.
Sweetflutes Deep in the Great Buddy Forest, one may happen upon a number of colorful Sweetflutes growing. They are rather hard and glass-like, but when plucked and carved their sound is top-notch. Little maintenance is needed, but they are very hardy and may try to grow back, especially if left in a damp place or abandoned somewhere. They have been known to replant themselves if left on the ground a while, so replucking as well as recarving might be necessary for such a wayward Sweetflute.
 Vin Vinia An odd little vine with even stranger fruits. They might go good in a salad, and dried they can be used to make string or thread. They can also be used to make green dyes. It is a fairly rare plant in Wing Alayna, found only in some parts of northwest coastal Amicaia as well as deep south near (and past) the border of Laykia Layna. It is fairly common in the Reline Ah archipelago, but only found deep inland in its southern counterpart, the Fuline Ah archipelago.Â
 Oisha Lalan Though perhaps a somewhat ordinary appearance in the forest, the leaves of the Oisha Lalan are quite well-known for their use in brewing a most exquisite tea. The center of the leaf has a strange, sour, almost sweet taste, balanced by the dryness and slight bitterness of its frayed edges. The plant is rather prolific, such that its leaves are rarely in short supply. It can be found in both the Great Buddy and Pachimori Forests, as well as places in Fuline and Reline Ah.Â
 Belia Lunala A fluorescent flower found in Crescent Minoria. In its bell grows an epiphytic Yelia Radiani flower which helps it convert lunar light into a kind of white liquid, which gathers in its bell. This liquid serves to amplify the energy of the lunar light enough to serve the needs of both flowers, while also looking like quite a sight. The white liquid, when stored, can be used to provide light for a long time, though it is not preferred for its bright white light so much as the softer illumination from regular Radiani blossoms or other luminescent flora. The petals also have a rather sour taste, and can add an interesting flavor to tea when brewed. Being so bright yellow also makes its rather unusual slight in Crescent Minoria, as many of its flowers instead have glassy or black petals, so it can also be used as a wayfinder in the dark.
Miniwingola Lifernandes A curious flora that grows in the cloud grounds of Caela Amicaia. It can also grow in soil, but may not sprout its characteristic pair of wing-like leaves there. As such, the wingless variety is usually called by a different first name, such as Thinfrond instead of Miniwingola. Either way, they are fragrant herbs that make a great addition or garnish to any dish. The taste varies depending on the species and where it goes. The sky variety may take on a flavor like rosemary or thyme, while the ground variety sage or even parsley in wetter climates.
Omu-omu Plantai A very long-leafed plant similar to a succulent. It is often kept like an outdoor houseplant, the long leaves being tied up so they don't run along the ground and risk being trampled. In the rainier months the leaves become more cocoon-like unless intervention is made, sealing them off from receiving too much water in the rainier months, as it prefers a more arid climate. The plant can be found in Amicaia, colloquially named The Buddysâ Land, or the northern half of Wing Alayna, and on the continent of Warminia Songlianne, particularly away from the coast where it can get lots of sun without too much moisture. It is thought to originate from the latter, or perhaps a less rainy place in Wing Alayna.Â
 Bigleaf Mineep (a.k.a Okipla Mineep) A small flower with a singularly large leaf. It is said that the Mineep puts all its love and care into its leaf, and neglects its flower, resulting in its pale petals and overall wilty appearance. Okipla leaves are favored in leaf-boat making for their size, and are cultivated in the palace garden to help faster production, as Buddys are strangely inept at farming, preferring to seek and gather rather than create large agricultural areas (something about liking grass too much, who knows?) A single leaf can also be broken up and used for salad, though there are some who take pity on the beloved leaf and refuse to use it.
Seafaring Mamolia As the name implies, the Seafaring Mamolia is a strange little flower that grows in the ocean (some may also be found in lakes, but then they'd be lakefaring now wouldn't they?), protecting a tiny flower with its colorful, petal-like bracts. It has a large root-float system to help keep it upright, even in boisterous waves. Strangely enough, they have seldom been seen to wash ashore naturally, and even in rare cases, never run completely aground. Though some still may help a near-washed up Mamolia get back to sea, independent as others claim the flower to be. With its many roots, bundles of them are sometimes dried and used for ropes and strings. The bracts, usually already salted by the sea, can also make quite a nice snack when dried.
Lesser Cloudia Founta (a.k.a Miniature Skypalm) A small tree-plant with palm-like bark. It has very shiny, almost metallic leaves that can be used in the creation of decorative armors, or else just as decoration. It will only grow in Sky Alayna, though it has been found in the cloud lands above Fuline Ah and it's islands as well. It is fairly easy to cultivate, but does not grow well with other plants, preferring the cloud to itself or at least with minimal nearby competition. Otherwise, it can make a fairly nice outdoor plant in one's yard or garden.
Sorry for the lack of updates! I really wanted to get caught up, and I finally have! But I can only post 10 images at a time so I'm gonna post 'em in two chunks anyway. Keep reading for floral info! Also, I really wish I had time for editing this year... They'd look so much better with a little touchup, but I just don't have time for the big-scale editing I did last year. :x I did end up touching up a few of them but there's still so many things I'd like to fix.. Oh well. Anyways, onto floral info!
Thinia Windseed
A thin, watery flower that prefers the wetter climate of Laykia Layna to its northern counterpart, Buddy World (sometimes referred to as Amica Layna or Amicania since the 'World' part can be misleading), but sometimes has been known to pop up there as well during the rainy season. Despite the flower's frail appearance, it is quite hardy, even seeming to prefer windier climates to help spread its seeds far and wide. It is sometimes cultivated as a houseplant as well for its hardiness, and has been known to come in many colors in its domestic variety. There are not many uses known for the flower aside from house decoration.
Berabera Bush
Though natively found in Furheart Iiah and usually grown in continental Wing Alayna, it has been found that Berabera Bushes also grow quite well on cloud ground, strangely enough. Cultivating them there has sometimes led to them taking on a whiter, wispier appearance, but they are also found in their usual coloration as well. Beraberas are beloved for their tart, sweet taste, and a lovely addition to tea, either mixed with leaves or eaten separately. Lovers of fruity teas will especially love Berabera tea.
Cottonlar
Thought to be a relative of their sylvan cousins Flufftuffs, Cottonlars are often seen being grown in cloud ground in Sky Buddy World. The cotton-like substance they grow is beloved for making pillows, and is known to produce fluffy threads when consumed by Fashion Buddys. The whole plant is rather soft to the touch, with the fruits of course being the softest.
Many-headed Laria
A fleshy, fiddlehead-like plant thought to be a relative of the Stafflant and others in the Lar family. They have a vegetable-like taste when consumed, and are often a part of many a sylvan diet. The can be found in Pachimori and the Great Buddy Forest.
Samiana
A relative of the Veriana, the Samiana can be found in Wing Alayna, both in Pachimori, the Great Buddy Forest, and even the plains. Efforts are still ongoing to cultivate the plant, as it seems to prefer wild soil, but is desirable as a houseplant.
Cloudlar
The aerial relative of the Lonlar, the Clouldlar is a soft plant that produces smooth, silky threads when consumed by Fashion Buddys. It is a cultivar of the Lar family that only grows in Sky Buddy World and/or in cloud ground.
Surfing Klaudee
A rare flower that seems to float on its own, drifting about on the sky on small tufts of cloud ground. Sometimes, it is known to use up all of the nutrients in its patch of cloud ground and fall through it, but usually finds another bit to latch onto. There is some question as to whether the flower is a living being, as it seems quite... active, at times.
Wing Alaynia
The namesake of the continent of Wing Alayna, Wing Alaynias are only found in white on its titular continent. Though they do grow on Furheart Iiah and Warminia Songlianne, the ones on the latter grow green, and the former, pinkish. Wing Alaynan Wing Alaynias are known for having the strange, but not unwelcome property of filling one with hope when it is stared at for a moment. Even in the depths of despair, it is said to be a ray of hope for all who stay to gaze a moment at it.
Lyta Flora
These nocturnal flowers are known to glow a warm, brilliant glow at night. Even after picked, the glow can last for a long time, especially if left in the sun during the day. They have the strange property of being able to store sunlight to give off as a glow during the night, and somehow manage to retain this property even if they are not rooted to the ground.
Misinia Curloa
A tall, sylvan flower that can be found growing in the Great Buddy Forest. It is also found on Furheart Iiah and Warminia Songlianne as well. It is a highly-favored flower for tea, as each part of the flower can be used in it. Together, they make a soft, sweet tea. The curly stamen-like bits are especially sweet and melt in hot water, making them useful as a sweetener in other capacities as well, like being or to sweeten other teas.
Springa Fressha
A plant believed to be descended from the Crescent Minorian Luna Cirrala and other similar plants. Springa Fresshas tend to crop up early and late in the rainy season throughout the northern half of Wing Alayna, particularly on clear days after rain. The water they draw up from the ground into their flowers tends to be clear and pure, the most delicious water you could find anywhere. As they are rather rare and scarce, though, they have not been domesticated like the Kopp'tura Rainbola. And either way, Springa Fresshas tend to be small, squat flowers in comparison. 6 or 7 inches, maybe a foot in the tallest specimens, but little more.
Fulinean Buddy Tree
Once thought to be a legend, Buddy Trees were recently rediscovered in remote locations on several of the continents. Mysteriously though, this locations are difficult or sometimes impossible to find again, leading some to believe that these locations are in fact pocket dimensions, or perhaps that there is only one Buddy Tree that changes its appearance each time its seen depending on where it is located. The Buddy Tree once grew solely in Wing Alayna, and, as the legend goes, would bear vastly different fruit per year. Another legend states that a guardian of time lives in the knot of the tree, connecting the world to the lands of legend.
It was also once thought that the Storydancers came from the Buddy Tree or perhaps lived in it, or even used it as a portal to visit the lands of legend and bring back tales. Though there does seem to be a connection between the Buddy Tree and the Storydancers, it is unclear at this point whether that connection is merely mythical or has some substance to it.
Storydancers are a particular kind of Dancer Buddy that carry scrolls with them and regale their audience with tales as they perform their dance routines. As they travel about without a home, they often take up residence in the Queen's palace, or stay with a host family before moving on. There are no known Storydancer mixes, and if you ask them why, they'd probably reply that they love story more than the idea of settling down.
Orbitania
The Orbitania is one of several specimens noted in last year's expedition to Hoshimi Island. From its dark stem color, a hypothesis has been put forth that it may originate from the Flyona line. Other evidence to support this idea is the faintly gummy, licorice-like taste of the stem, a trait which proper Flyona stems have in full. It would seem that other Hoshimi Island flora have a much stronger influence on it than any possible connections to the Flyona line, as its flowers share many of the characteristics of small, creeping vine flowers that were found growing near specimens such as the Spirra Starra, and its fruit bears resemblance to that of a MĂźnlala Spikalif's. As far as the taste of the fruit goes, it was deemed unideal for eating. Like the MĂźnlala's fruit, it proved to be hollow with a light fuzz over top. Light appears to emanate from this skin layer and not the inside, same as its relative's produce. Inside it is a small, dark flower. The fruit can be squeezed to produce water, but isn't particularly flavorful. The yellow petals, however, were noted to have a distinct sour note. The roots have a distinct spicy, radish-like taste when properly washed and prepared, though the upper root layer tends to be more like the stem.
