Forget-me-nots - Chapter 12 - Snowdrops
Anyone else been craving snow and winter these days? I can't be the only one!
Thank you to my buddy @w0lp3rtinger for beta-reading this chapter for me, and the entire story so far, now that I think of it <3 Thank you for your patience and for explaining many things I do know know about the English language.
I am really enjoying writing the yearning between Shadow and Amy hehehehe. And I wanna say things that I shouldn't, because all will be revealed later. I am aiming to update again next week. Ch 13 is written and edited, too, thanks to my buddy Wolpertinger! <3 They are writing an epic Shadamy story themselves, called 'Hanging On to Tomorrow'. Go check it out if you haven't already. It's such a phenomenal story!
Novembmas | D5 - Missing & Flowers
Fully dedicated to this ain’t I? Welp. Angst drawing (lol)
Game Submas (G▲▽) and their suffering
Sometimes drawing angst of your favourite character can be a little embarrassing since you only want to see them happy and also it’s like “IM SORRY FOR MAKING YOU SUFFER!!!- but it’s good content tho………”
loved the shading on the face and the way I drew it!
The flowers used were: Forget-me-not -> Remembrance Lillies -> Loneliness and missing someone
I tried to make Ingo/Nobori’s face in the flower by outlining key flowers but it doesn’t show much.
k, bye

Myosotis Genus
(Forget-Me-Not, Scorpion Grass)
Image from English Botany, or Coloured figures of British Plants, by James Sowerby
History and Etymology: Myosotis flowers are often in a baby blue color, but the petals can also be in pinks or yellows. They are in many places within the Northern Hemisphere, mostly within Europe and Asia. There are a couple species within the Americas, Australia and New Zealand, but there are many more native species where they originate. The word "myosotis" is Ancient Greek for "mouse ears", as the petals have a similar shape to them.
Flower Symbolism: Myosotis symbolizes true love, hope, constancy of love, and of course, remembrance, often simply listed as "forget me not". There's not much variation found for this flower, as the name of it alone explains the most common meaning.
Fun Facts:
- There are 156 recognized species of Myosotis, but there are over 500 on record! Many of the ones that are not "official" are either hybrids of other species, or simply different names for them.
- Forget-Me-Nots are taken as a symbol of many things. It's the official flower of Alaska and Dalsland, Sweden. It's used as remembrance for the Armenian Genocide, the Freemasons that were targeted during WWII, and several other tragedies.
- While it's the same meaning, there's a German folktale that provided them with the flowers symbolism: a German knight had been fallen into a river when picking flowers for his lady, and he said the words "forget-me-not!" before he was drowned.
