Person A owns a flower shop and person B comes storming in one day, slaps 20 bucks on the counter and says “How do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flower?”

MY TIME HAS COME

so you’d need a bouquet of geraniums (stupidity), foxglove (insincerity), meadowsweet (uselessness), yellow carnations (you have disappointed me), and orange lilies (hatred). it would be quite striking! and full of loathing.

im no Florist but I thought I’d try my hand at such a beautiful gift of absolute loathing

Flower Masterpost: If you ever have the specific emotion …

petalsuggestion:

(Updated whenever a new flower is used)just use the “search” button or search through my tags by changing the url; I always tag my flowers / if it’s a flower of a specific color, eg: rose (pink), then search “pink rose” (or you can just look up the “rose” and see all the suggestions tagged with “rose”)

Headcanon: Dain 1’s craft was glassblowing. The Grey Mountains have a lot of the ingredients needed for fancy glass-work, and so something similar to Murano glass-work developed there. Forra has lots of very pretty glass jewelry (Hrera has a bunch too). Thorin learned a lot about flower language from Dain, because a lot of glass-work has flowers on it because that’s what people like to buy. Thorin’s workshop has flower-patterned candle-holders from Dain.

OH OH GOOD YES I LOVE IT

Dain I is definitely the sort of Dwarf to go in for glassblowing: the intricate, delicate dangerousness of it!
