#wepser

This fic to be fair is definitely not as good as my firelocke fic, but I still had some fun writing it and would be honoured if you gave it a read :] It is a wesper fic, and I love them very much !

woah woah woah we're getting ahead of ourselves here..... i am absolutely not thinking of marriage or proposals yet

My brain: When Wylan and Jesper go to the hospital at St Hilde and discover that Wylan’s mother is still alive, there are wisteria growing outside the hospital and in a vase in the hall. Wisteria is associated with many meanings in many different cultures, but it’s a common theme for it to link to longevity and endurance, in Korea it ideally symbolises ‘a devotion that transcends death’, so is a brilliantly clever and subtle hint at Wylan’s mother in a scene that is understandable heaped with foreshadowing for the rest of the chapter. However, these aren’t the only flowers in the scene: Wylan brings a small bunch of wildflowers with him, thinking to lay them on the grave, and when he learns the truth and begins to panic he puts his head between his knees and tries to breathe, staring at the “blue tulips” in the floor. Wildflowers usually signify joy, happiness, and remembrance; when Wylan enters he sets them aside on the table and leaves them behind, showing that there is no need for remembrance because his mother is still alive, and that this is not a place of joy or happiness. Conversely, blue tulips are meant to symbolise tranquility and peace, as well as individuality or uniqueness. This could possibly be ironic because of course Wylan cannot find peace here, but it could also link to his relationship with Jesper and how Jesper is the only person who consistently accepts Wylan for exactly who he is and teaches him to appreciate the things that make him unique and “a genius”. This goes both ways; both of them teach the other how to accept themselves so that they can finally find peace and overcome their obstacles. That brings me to my final point: wisteria are also often considered a symbol of romance in many countries
