@tamlinweek Day 2: Dark Spring/Mythology

Chunky: Wow, look at that picture. Totally looks like Tamlin Chunky a little while later: *gasp* m u s t d r a w t a m l i n Also Chunky: Ok but HOW can I make this sad?

The evening primrose blooms at night can hold different meanings. It can represent fond memories or young lovers and is often the first spring bloom.

Thirteen primroses is considered to be lucky... More or less than that is bad luck. There are only 12 violet evening primroses in his bouquet.

In contrast, the late blooming aster, or Michaelmas daisy, whose name translates to star, was created by the tears of the goddess Astraea due to the lack of stars in the sky.

The purple aster is for royalty and it is often used as a symbol of farewell and departure. It can also symbolize renewal and the resilience of spring. Thank you to @mistandmemories and @jules-writes-stories for helping me come up with a flower for Feyre's representation.

Amaranth is the symbol of Artemis, the huntress and a representation of unfading affection and everlasting love; And in my interpretation, Amarantha is a ghost that will always haunt him. 

He wouldn't have her so she tainted his first love(Tamsand), and his last (Feylin).

Here is a link to (hopefully) better quality on Ao3

Upon further review I don’t think that’s actually the case lol but we tried.

Hello there!! So a few nights ago I was just thinking about how it's kind of ridiculous that we call Tamlin a tampon. Because a tampon is actually kind of useful, ykwim? And then I was like, but we needed Tamlin so that Feyre would go to Prythian. And then I was like, "Yeah, and you gotta throw away a used tampon cuz it gets toxic, just like Tamlin did" and idk if this was it, but that made me realize that this is it

I NEED a Downton Abbey/ Office style Tv show of the Spring Court estate before UTM/ when Rhys and Tamlin were buddies. It would be all of the servants and household staff gossiping about the two lordlings and how ✨close✨ they are

People always say that ACOTAR would have gone down so differently if Nesta was taken instead of Feyre cause she and Tamlin would have bickered and fought too much. I say it would have gone different because there is no way Nesta could stay in perpetual Spring. Pollen? All the time? My girl has allergies, just like me, and I know she would be suffering
