I'm in Ur RP, Throwing Petals At It

Thought I'd put this out here before the comm got super enormous (as it totally will, 'cuz you're all the cat's pajamas).

So. For funsies, interest, and the need to practice my skills, I want to make flower arrangements based on your characters for you guys!! If this sounds like a thing you personally would like, here's how to get one of your very own:

1. Comment to this post with the character you want an arrangement based on. Include a brief description of their defining personality traits (nice things, flaws, anything) and any other details of their lives that you think are important/descriptive.
2. If you have any color or flower type preferences, list them! Good examples of what helps me are instructions like: "dark colors", "bright colors", "no red, please", "fancier/uncommon flowers only", etc. If you don't have any preferences, I'm also more than happy to run with personality traits and get inventive on my own.
3. As I finish arrangements, I'll reply with pictures in the comments!
4. ????
5. Flowers.


That said, come at me bros.

This sounds absolutely amazing. I love hanakotoba!

Tagging in with Katsuya Suou first.

Defining traits: Responsible, Tenacious, family oriented, reliable, socially awkward, bound by obligations, lonely.
Colors: Warm colors, especially the warmer hues of red rather than the more violet shades.
Flowers: Simple, yet fashionable. An edible flower or two would be appropriate ;3

Excuse me while i just go find my jaw. It fell off somewhere over there, while I was gaping.

That is amazing! I love how you captured the style too and the whole thing just feels so complete and aaaaaaah!

Those orchids are absolutely glorious by the way. I'm glad you had fun with it!!!

This does sound amazing, so I'm just going to leave both of these here...

For Vanyel-
Defining traits: Curious, eager to learn, outgoing, passionate, determined, protective
Colors: Warm and/or bright colors, vivid reds, oranges, and yellows especially
Flowers: Hardy types that could be found in the wild as easily as in someone's garden; types that also have/were once believed to have medicinal properties wouldn't go amiss

For Armand-
Defining traits: Reserved, introverted, fiercely loyal to his chosen companions, lonely, rules-oriented, formerly an extremely devout Eastern Orthodox Catholic
Colors: Cooler colors, particularly blues; darker shades and stark whites would also be appropriate
Flowers: Funerary flowers, or those associated with death and mourning; also, any kinds that are especially popular for pressing and drying; ETA night-blooming anything how did I not think about that sooner

Ahhh both of these are absolutely gorgeous, thank you! Both are absolutely spot on, too (and I'm digging the case for Armand's, with its little cross)!

This is a cool-ass idea, and I gotta sit and scheme on this a while so that I can request an arrangement! Ah!
westfallcorndog: (Default)

[personal profile] westfallcorndog 2016-04-19 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Gosh thanks for the reminder.

Blue, white, and yellow are definitely his colors. He has wintery themes, but that's probably not very conducive to flowers haha. Something makes me feel like there should be lillies? Maybe baby's breath like snowflakes, but I defer to you. Anything blue, white, yellow that looks cute. Deeper meaning not necessary haha

AAAAH this is so fantastic!! It's such a pretty arrangement, I'm saving this forever. Can you tell me what all the flowers are?

Omg link this whole thread over in the Nexus Gallery thread so everyone can always see it.

; u ; My little son. The son of my son. The flower arrangement of my original character do not steal. How shortly you were in our lives. May you brighten that lady's table with your benevolent blueness.

Honestly though you gotta take all the credit here, Tea. She bought it because it was a good arrangement, and it was a good arrangement because you made it!

I'd like a flower arrangement based on jak, please. dark purple as dark eco and white as light eco flowers please!

Eco is a powerful substance in the Jak and Daxter series. It is capable of physically appearing in the form of a cluster or gas (in its natural form), ore, a prism, or a crystal, and comes in the six different known colors of light eco, dark eco, green eco, blue eco, yellow eco, and red eco, each color possessing a different and specific property.

[personal profile] hellburger 2016-04-16 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
First off, I'm echoing the "AMAZING" sentiments. I would never have thought of flowers and RP/character inspo converging!

If you don't already have enough work on your hands, here's another for Kaz:

Personality: driven, stubborn, workaholic, proud, confident, flirtatious/promiscuous, sociable, vain, talkative, curious, restless, entrepreneurial
Life stuff: Half-Japanese, half-American (born in Japan, went to America in his teens), in his present canon he's enjoying his time in South and Central America.
Flowers/Colors: Bright? Tropical? Japanese? I'll leave it up to your discretion!
hellburger: (2D_Transmission)

[personal profile] hellburger 2016-04-21 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh! I got home after a long day, saw this and cheered right up. Gorgeous! All that yellow is perfect. :3 I wish I could enjoy it in person!

All of these are just blowing my goddamn mind. Thanks for sharing your talent with such a unique medium. And I agree with Harrow -- link this in the gallery thread pronto!

[personal profile] rogueinladysclothing 2016-04-16 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh I am so excited (and so late to the party). :D

Rogue gets thrown in here, because she would not understand at all what this was about or why. That and I am so insatiably curious about what you might come up with!


Defining traits: Earnest, stubborn, rough around the edges, somber, loyal, protective
Colors: Cool earth tones (greens, browns, blues, violets) and a hint of white?
Flowers: Simple, yet elegant. I feel like roses might be good? But as you are the flower genius, I will leave the final decision to you!
rogueinladysclothing: (Love)

[personal profile] rogueinladysclothing 2016-04-21 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I can't even find the words to describe how beautiful and perfect this is. I absolutely love this. Thank you. Thank you for coming up with such a wonderful idea, taking my suggestions, and spinning them into something so much more beautiful than I could have imagined. <3
itmeanstruth: (grin)

What a creative idea!

[personal profile] itmeanstruth 2016-04-18 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Defining traits: optimistic, easy-going, messy. He's a wandering snake sage, so anything snakelike or vine-like could be appropriate.
Colors: Please use the color purple. It's the color I imagine his chakra to be! In Sage Mode, his sales are white, so that's a nice secondary color.
But really, I'd be happy with whatever you think is best!

I look forward to seeing what Minoru would be if he were a flower arrangement!

(Also, *waves hello* I'm 19x, and I'm new here. Pleased to meet you!)
