#plumerias tree

this doesn’t excuse him from being attacked. i feel like the fact he isn’t tasty would make monsters want to attack him more. id be mad too “i went thru all this trouble to get me some good food just for me to find out im allergic?? hell nah”

i just thought it would be kinda funny since he’s based off of purple lilies, and most of those are apparently poisonous when eaten

so it would make sense that the monsters who hypothetically eat him would experience those symptoms, or maybe they can smell it from him

or maybe dude can have monster poison for blood. then again, that sounds like too much so i’m not sure???

this just came to me bc i thought it would be a silly little bit if Lilium didn’t get along with dogs not knowing it’s bc of the flower he’s associated with. “oh you smell like that thing that gave me diarrhea. i hate you”

then it spiraled after that and now we’re here!

thoughts?

“Hm. You smell.. floral.”

Lilium blinked. Was that a bad thing?

“I smell?” Was that really what he was focusing on right now?

Dog: BARK BARK BARK (i hate you you gave me bloody diarrhea and i couldn’t have my treats for days)

“You’re.. different from what I expected,” Anatole mumbled.

“Am I?” Chloris asked, amused. “You forget, child, I am a goddess. I am beyond your silly expectations.”

A sly smile spread across her delicate lips. She reached forward, holding out a hand to cradle the rose attached to the vine presented before her.

Vera: Shouldn’t I be counselor?

Lilium: But I was here before you

Vera: i’m older tho

Lilium, who’s originally from ancient greece: are you sure?

Vera: yeah? what, you saying you’re older? kinda hard to believe, ading.

Lilium, wondering if she’s the same as him: really? when were you born?

Vera: 2009

Lilium: my father was a good man🙂

*incorrect buzzer*

Lilium: 🤨 what’s that supposed to mean? im not lying..

*incorrect buzzer*

“ —All his life, all he's ever been told was how free he will be once he fulfills his duty.

Lilium hopes they are right. To be free meant he wouldn't have to carry this weight any longer.

Sometimes he wishes to forget.

Why was he born? Just to die?

(Alternate version of Lilium’s arrival to CHB)

Instead of sprouting from the ground from his lily,

Chloris manages a halfway job in retrieving Lilium from his slumber, leading to him waking up buried in the dirt and having to claw himself out jason todd style!!

this version would absolutely traumatize him, make him extremely claustrophobic, and send him into catatonic state for a few days

angst galore!! this version would lead Lilium to having a harder time adjusting to CHB compared to his canon arrival. as well as worsen his religious psychosis

i choose his canon arrival instead bc it’s whimsical and something you’d find from fairytales (and that goes along with him lowkey being a disney princess)

Tour guide: and here we have one of our most prized artifacts, a papyrus scroll from ancient greece! we still haven’t figured out the translation, but who knows? maybe it will give us great wisdom from the ancient world!
