Silently, you watched on as your friends carefully did their photo shoot, knowing that they had to try and get everything done today, lest the pleasant overcast weather turn sour. Your own camera sat off to the side, having been set down in favour of fiddling with some of the beautiful paper you had purchased a few towns back. Your group only had a few more days in this town, before the coordinator moved you onto the next destination, so you were making the most of it.
You were lucky to have been chosen to go on this trip with all these other artists, it had been a fantastic experience so far, the varying artists styles, mediums, and cultures, providing an entire new world of learning and growth. You would be sad to see it end in a few months, but you knew that the friends you had made here, would be friends you would keep for a long time to come.
As you popped another little snack into your mouth, you saw someone out of the corner of your eye. Blinking in surprise, you looked up at them, smiling softly in greeting. Something in your mind told you they weren’t quite human, and absently you remembered the half joking warnings from the townsfolk about fair folk and curses. The fact that you were in the middle of nowhere for this shoot, didn’t make the thought any less suspect.
Instead of voicing these questions though, you pushed them aside, offering them some of the treats you were happily nibbling on while you waited. The stranger paused a moment, before gracefully joining you, settling down on the log beside you with an unnatural grace, and accepting the offered treats. Somehow you felt no need to fill the silence, and instead you sat with them, the two of you watching your oblivious group as they fussed and worked on their project determinedly.
As the sky started to change colours, you put the finishing touches on your creation, smiling at the carefully made paper flower crown. Finally turning completely to the stranger, you reached out, gently settling the flower crown atop their head, watching them pause in their eating to eye you curiously. You were glad you had packed so many snacks, as the two of you had been peacefully nibbling away for the better half of the afternoon, content in the companionship and silence.
“The colours suit you much better” was all you said in explanation, smiling.
Your bright smile only brightened further as their eyes softened, a small smile forming on their own face as they reached up to touch the carefully crafted petals. Leaving the last few treats for them to finish, you set about packing things away, humming a little to yourself as you worked, knowing the others would be wrapping things up soon.
A few moments later, you paused in your packing, feeling soft hands gently deposit something upon your own head. Startled, you looked up, only to find the stranger nowhere to be seen. Your heart sunk a little, thinking they had rejected your gift, but as you reached up, you found real petals brushing your fingers, rather than the paper of the crown you had made. To your surprise, a beautiful flower crown woven with some of your favourite flowers, now rested on your head, though where they had found such flowers, you had no idea.
Unable to stop smiling, you packed up just as your friends arrived and began doing so as well. Your friends had been amused and confused by your story, though you never mentioned your suspicion of their inhuman nature. It was only when one of your group let the story slip when someone at the bar questioned you on the flower crown later that night, that you started to wonder just how true your suspicions may have been.
Very suddenly, everyone in the little village your group was staying in, was treating you incredibly respectfully, a strange fear now in their eyes as they looked at you, though luckily no one in your group really noticed.
I have been crowned.But by what?
And what happens now?
Flower shop AU
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
Tomorrow, a children’s book by Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to be released. Pence’s book, “Marlon Bundo: A Day in the Life of the Vice President” is a children’s book about the life of the VP, through the eyes of his pet rabbit. The above link is not for that book. The above link is for the book funded by Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. It is the story of Marlon Bundo, the “BOTUS”, who falls in love with a boy bunny named Wesley. All the proceeds of this book, available right now, go to the Trevor Project which provides at risk LGBTQ youth with counseling and suicide prevention, as well as the AIDS foundation. You can obtain a free ebook copy of the book by donating $11 to the Trevor Project, or you can purchase the book directly at the above link.
Why should you do this? Why fund one book instead of a children’s book that innocuously discusses the Vice President’s job? Because I would rather assist LGBTQ youth and thumb my nose at the man who worked so closely with Focus On The Family, a well known homophobic group that supports conversion therapy, than spend one dime advocating for this administration.
It might interest you to know that Focus On The Family headquarters is a book tour stop for Marlon Bundo: A Day In The Life Of The VIce President. Yes, you heard me rightly.
So if you want to piss off Mike Pence and support LGBTQ Youth, please donate or purchase the book above. You can watch the episode of Last Week Tonight With John Oliver as of this evening on HBO or find the relevant broadcast on YouTube tomorrow.
Please reblog to support this book.
It’s already sold out but you can pre-order the second printing! Oh, and it’s currently number one and two under kids books on Amazon with Pence’s book a sad third.
You can also simply donate to the Trevor Project to receive a free ebook copy.
The audiobook is voiced by an all-star cast and is only $2
HEY, KNITTERS, DO YOU LIKE SWEATERS?
I’m about to show you something that’s magic.
This book. Right here. 1000 Sweaters.
So it just shows you a bunch of different sweaters you can make, right? Not unusual for a knitting book.
What’s this, though? Upper pages? Lower pages?
I mean, this looks normal enOH WHAT’S THIS
IT’S MY DS MY SHOES MY LAPTOP GOT TWO SETS OF PAGES?
AND IT ALSO HAS A BUNCH OF NECKLINES? MAGIC. PURE MAGIC.
Okay, let me explain a little better. The book is a mix-and-match deal where there are two sets of pages: Top and bottom. Top has sweater bodies, bottom has sleeves or necklines. This basically lets you design your perfect custom sweater, and the intro even has an excellent guide on assembly and some basic skills needed to make sure it comes out right.
The other thing about this book? According to two people I know who got it at my urging, it's dirt cheap. One got it for $3, the other for 87 cents. No one seems to know about this thing, which is really sad, because it’s totally awesome. Hell, after you figure out how the patterns fit together, you could totally start making your own bits.
Seriously, if you have any interest in making sweaters, you should get this book. It’s absolutely awesome, even if just for inspiration.
Bonus pictures to show what patterns in this book look like:

Demonstration of sizing for sleeves.
