『ドイツ🇩🇪あやめ』という名前なのに、フランス🇫🇷王家の紋章の一つという不思議🦄な花が庭で満開です。

I have like a thousand versions but imma post these for now
I referenced the tiles from the Andalusian ones in my house bc they look similar to the ones in the movie!
Again drawing from twitter! Did a small little gif ( ˘ ³˘)♥
This was my first thought when I watched this scene in the Pokemon XY Mega Evolution Special Act II. Actual shoujo manga protagonist Sycamore.
(Also I didn’t elaborate in my post, but other than “defile” (or disgrace), 汚す can also literally mean to get dirty/pollute/taint ohohoho)
I would say I’m sorry for this but I’m not.
Fleur de lis ⚜️
Maybe my upbringing put me closer to a lot of secret occult motifs than I realized, because I’m also very familiar with a symbol called the Fleur-de-lis. It was on LITERALLY EVERYTHING in Louisiana. Of course, we knew it because of Louisiana’s deep French history. It’s a symbol of French royalty, and the French kings and queens put their emblem on everything they owned, including territories in the New World. Digging a little deeper, you learn that it also included slaves that were owned in the French territories. Slaves were marked on their cheeks by the fleur-de-lis, which makes it a wee bit of a painful symbol for them. Understandably.
The stylized lily, just like the majority of European culture, was stolen from pagans, and reincorporated by the Catholic Church. It is a modification of the Gaulish lily, which was originally a symbolic representation of the Virgin Juno. Some pagans used it to represent the triple goddess due to the three “leaves”. It’s probably due to the virginal, feminine aspects so ingrained in the fleur-de-lis symbol that also attributed itself to figures like Mary and Mary Magdalene, and then eventually French royalty.
i decide to make this #pixelart fleur-de-lis wallpaper, to keep up with the weird streak of patterns i've apparently decide to do
