happy sts, briar! how you doing? so, my question for crown of flowers or any other wip is: what other medium do you think your story would work well as? (film, webcomic, animated series?) have a decent day ahead! :3 - 🔮⛈ (@enchanted-lightning-aes)
oo!!! i love this question <3
i think i've always fantasized about my stories becoming movies, but the thought of an animated series/live action tv show is very appealing!! that way, there's more time for character development and the plotline to unfurl, and i really like that
so i would say a show for crown of flowers, although i have kind of shifted focus in my wips for now
for broken halos (which is my story about demons and a reluctant chosen one), i think it would be best as a movie because it has less characters and a more clear-cut conflict. but after the movie, i would love a bunch of shorts or a little tv show to come out about the characters living domestically together after the events of the main conflict

scarlet for tora (and how quickly would she forget it) i will be back with more <3
this actually a hilarious ask
scarlet - what would your character do if they found a mysterious sack of money just left unattended?
she would do that really cartoonish and goofy (and endearing) thing where you. pinch yourself to make sure you're not dreaming? but, of course, tora would probably do something like fall off the nearest high surface to make sure she's awake. then she would open the bag, look at all the money for a bit, and then would go and hide it in a spot only she knows about in the forest.
hey there , hope you're doing okay. for the summer ask game: 🍉, 🏝️, and 🍋 pls?? may u have a decent evening/night ahead! (@enchanted-lightning-aes)
hi! I am doing pretty good at the moment! my family is on vacation, and right now I am at this absolutely gorgeous cabin surrounded by nature (which unfortunately includes bugs), and all of it is making me want to write so! yay! I hope you have a nice day too! <3
🍉 What themes have you been writing about most this summer?
yearning and angst and found family and friendship and hurt/comfort and romance <3 but that's basically all I ever write about
🏝️ Which of your OCs would survive longest if stranded on a deserted island?
okay, out of my crown of flowers characters? most likely aster or nyx because they are the best at surviving, through experience and wit. their respective partners would not do as well without their help
thank you for the ask! I enjoyed answering these questions <3
🍋 When life gives you lemons…?
make lemonade! but first, take aesthetic pictures of the lemons for your own enjoyment <3 maybe write a poem about the lemons! basically, when life gives you lemons, create something with them
🍍 Which of your OCs has the craziest hairstyle?
oh hmm this is hard because I feel like they all have relatively normal hairstyles? maybe aster, since she cuts her own hair, resulting in a very choppy bobbed style. also, river (one of my demon ocs from broken halos) has their hair very short and curly, which is one of my favorite looks, and one I don't see often!
hi guys! this is something I wrote for @yourocsbackstory’s challenge, which can be found here. it’s about aster from crown of flowers, and I hope you enjoy!
word count: 225
~~~
Beneath the seemingly endless sky, a fire burned bright against the darkness, the flickering light casting shifting shadows upon the sand. The crackle of the flames burst through the heavy air, and Aster sat nearby, gazing into the fire as it danced along the dry wood.
Not many felt safe during the long nights in the desert, but Aster felt no need to abandon the quiet place for the relative safety of the city.
Although the night air contained a sharp chill so different from the endless heat from the sun during the day, the heat from the fire, along with Aster’s powers, kept her warm as the moon drifted across the sky. Where else could she find a view of the stars like this? On the edge of the horizon, where the deep indigo of the sky met the cool sands of the desert, the bright lights of the city were the barest twinkles that blended in with the countless stars above.
The blazing fire kept the darkness at bay, and the soft sounds of the desert brought comfort to her. Not a soul was around as far as the eye could see, and Aster revelled in the way she was alone. She would have to return to the city tomorrow to survive, but tonight Aster could simply breathe in the peaceful night air.

You've been visited by the random OC question fairy! :D ~☆
Is your character concerned with becoming a better person? Do they consciously take steps to improve themselves? Why or why not?
thank you so much! <3
this is actually part of violetta’s character arc! she grew up in luxury, so she became a bit spoiled and aloof. violetta took the things she was given for granted because she felt like she deserved them, even if she didn’t actually do anything to earn them. however, once violetta realizes that she is not really on the same level as her classmates, she makes an effort to become a better person who works hard to earn things in life.
and my emotionally closed off characters, which describes almost all my characters, become more open and loving through the power of found family! (because I just love that kind of stuff)
nyx and juni throw a game night monthly. it was juni’s idea, of course. they make dinner for everyone, and sometimes they watch movies after the board game! nyx is the one who picks clue because she Loves clue. they invite everyone, even dawn
this takes place in what I imagine is a modern day college au, as they wouldn’t know what clue was in canon. in this, nyx and juni have a little apartment together, and violetta and aster have been dating for a few months. for the purpose of this scenario, nyx and dawn have reached a peace, but aren’t extremely close (I did this because I wanted to include dawn, so don’t read into anything-)
tora is So Pumped although she’s never played the game or watched the movie; she just loves board game night despite rarely winning.
lynn hasn’t seen the movie but clue was one of the few board games at her orphanage and she played it often, so she’s very good.
dawn agrees with nyx on one thing and one thing only- clue is both the best movie and the best board game to ever exist. she doesn’t always show up to game night, but she’s determined to Beat nyx this time (and she also is there to have fun, but that’s lower on the list of priorities)
they start the game before dinner and the movie
only six people can play the game, so lynn suggests that one of the couples can team up. she doesn’t even finish her sentence before violetta and aster immediately stop holding hands, and they both say “not it!” at the same time
nyx and juni are obviously happy to be a team because it gives them more time together, but vi and aster are just too competitive. they love the playful rivalry that breaks out during games (“how can one of us win if we’re on the same team?” “exactly, aster!”)
lynn has to explain the rules for close to fifteen minutes because nyx and dawn keep jumping in to elaborate about the game and to say random trivia. lynn is explaining Directly to tora since she’s the only one who’s never played, but she keeps getting distracted and zoning out
lynn: okay, tora, do you understand now?
tora, snapping back from thinking about how much chocolate she could eat in thirty seconds: understand what
and then they all have to pick what game pieces to be, which is an ordeal, of course,
miss scarlet: aster chooses this one because of the color and because miss scarlet is the only part of the movie she remembers (aster watched half of it when she was five and then got kicked out of the movie theatre)
mrs white: nyx and dawn almost Fight to the Death over this one. sorry to anyone who believes otherwise, but mrs white is the absolute best character, and nyx and dawn agree with me on this. the crisis is averted because juni suggests that she and nyx can be the yellow piece
mrs peacock: lynn likes the color blue (“female peacocks are actually called peahens, and they camouflage with nature so they are mostly brown- none of this bright blue color-”)
mr green: tora likes the color :D she also really didn’t want to be the colonel because of military associations (I haven’t discussed this part of her past yet)
colonel mustard: juni and nyx take this piece (see above)
professor plum: violetta’s never seen the movie and loves purple, so she chooses this guy (“can I name her lady lavender instead?” “no”)
once the game finally starts, they quickly find out who’s a good player and who is... terrible.
tora is absolutely awful, but she is having a lot of fun! she’s horrible at hiding the truth, so everyone knows all of her cards almost immediately. she also forgot that she had to take notes in order to find out the details of the murder. tora eventually realizes that she hasn’t been playing the game right when dawn mentions something about how she has a superior way of organizing her notes. (“...organizing what?” *collective sigh*) oh well, she’s not going to win, but she absolutely loves the game.
nyx and juni are sitting close to each other. nyx is taking notes while juni is in charge of the cards. they decide on their moves by whispering to each other. nyx has a very good system for taking notes, but she only shares the system with juni, who is almost drops the cards a few times because she’s excited during the entire game.
violetta and aster sit at opposite ends of the table, but they end up bantering so much that nyx and dawn put aside their differences to rearrange the seating so that the Rivals can sit next to each other. this results in cuddling as they play the game- but, make no mistake, they are still Locked in Combat.
dawn is good at the game. she and nyx are just about evenly matched, since clue used to be the only game they could agree on, so they played often. she’s very proud of a new technique she’s using to take notes, and so dawn boasts about it for a bit. (not too much though; she knows that she’s on Slightly Shaky ground with the group because of her past, so she doesn’t want to push it)
lynn is also a very good player. she takes diligent notes and watches both the board and people’s facial expressions like a hawk.
aster and violetta became too distracted by flirting with each other, so they fall behind in the actual game. so it comes down to nyx/juni, dawn, or lynn.
nyx can see in her cousin’s eyes that she figured out the answer, but she and juni have their turn before dawn. they have the weapon and the room figured out and narrowed it down to two options for the person. nyx tells juni to pick randomly, so they go with mr green. mr green with the candlestick in the library is their final answer, and it is correct!
nyx and juni triumphantly kiss and then hug each other
dawn comes very close to flipping the board
tora, confused: I was mr green, but I didn’t murder anyone, I swear!
dawn, deadpans a quote from the movie: you didn’t do it
violetta and aster are somehow disappointed that neither of them won and at the same time relived. they just want to cuddle for the rest of the night. and, luckily for them, they can do that while watching the movie!
the movie is a hit with the group. juni makes popcorn while nyx sets up the movie, and then they all just crowd into the little living room to watch. nyx and dawn keep quoting the movie while the movie is playing, juni cries for almost every single death, and tora gets distracted halfway through and starts to take pictures of the game pieces doing different things (and she also takes pictures of everyone watching the movie). at the end of the movie, everyone agrees that it was one of the best movies ever made. <3
my words are trapped/trap, love, gone, and hurt, but I didn't have one for trap somehow?? ahHh
love (from crown of flowers)
The silence was pushed aside; instead, the room was filled with the soft noise of the living. Tora’s soft snores and Lynn’s half-mumbled words as she slept had taken a while for Violetta to get used to. But sometimes she would stay awake just to hear those little noises that seemed so full of life, her heart close to bursting with love and a happiness too pure to name.
gone (from crown of flowers)
Gone was the mask that she wore in the open, around other people. Usually, there was a wall keeping anyone from getting too close to the girl, but everything had been torn down ever since Aster woke from the nightmare.
hurt (from broken halos)
Physically, the scars didn’t hurt. But River still vividly recalled the pain ripping through them as shards of glass shattered across their skin, their screams echoing into the night as they shielded a powerless Vivian from the same agony. No matter how many months passed since their banishment from the demonic kingdom for something as pure as their love, the day still weighed heavily on them both.
