I was already kinda taking a mini-break to do my first artfight, but my anxiety from here is real bad right now, so just giving a heads-up...

It's not anyone in particular's vault that this happened, I just happen to be very uncomfortable with a certain character who I saw got claimed (this is a me-problem, I know, you don't have to tell me, just let me vent for a minute), which makes me kinda want to run far away since I'll get anxiety whenever I see them or their name. If Reddit's blocking system wasn't so shit this probably wouldn't be a problem, but yeah.

Sorry if I come off too sensitive or whatever. Doesn't really matter anyway... I'm probably gonna go focus on artfight and be more active on Tumblr for my ficto stuff for now. There's just too many thing triggering my anxiety here at the moment and so I don't really feel safe.

Anyway, I know I'm just yapping and it probably wasn't even worth mentioning, bye for now, me and Flowey are gonna go hang out somewhere and eat snacks and play something.

Tell us about something you and your partner(s) like doing together! Feel free to talk about as many as you like or just one.

Flowey and I have many things we like doing together. I always love exploring worlds and seeing the stars with Flowey, but sometimes I enjoy doing some things while we're home on Earth, too. My current favourite is when we're relaxing while I'm playing a game and he's watching me play, we both make occasional comments and just having some fun banter. It's our own little game hehe. If he can't play the game with me, we can at least make up our own game while I play. It's fun :]

Hope you're all having a good day/night!

I've been busy with Split AU while coping with my anxiety from>! Deltarune!<

And so I have found I no longer have a love-hate relationship with Asriel (we're on pretty good terms now) and now things are complicated, but it's fine because I don't really have to deal with it outside of Split AU since Flowey and Asriel are only split in Split AU. It's just funny that dislike for a different character who just happened to indirectly insult Asriel made me more protective of him lol. Anyway, I guess Asriel can get some hugs too, from time to time now.

I was also writing some things and thought it'd be funny if in Split AU Asriel noticed Flowey and me crushing on each other but we're oblivious idiots and he's just watching us be stupid and in denial.

Anyway, we're chilling. Asriel’s fun to draw. Flowey is more fun to draw though <3

Maybe I should've called the three of us SassTrio instead of ScorchingRainbow lol

Surprise sillies

Uhh the context for this is my head said Asriel look that way, me on his head look that way, Flowey on my head also look that way and so I drew that because why not. This probably happens in Split AU because otherwise Asriel would not be able to be here lol

(Context: Deltarune Chapter 5 came out and was flower-themed so I was scared. There are seven flowers in Asgore's flower shop, six coloured like the six human souls and one golden flower.)

Hey, everybody. I finished the chapter and just need somewhere to let my feelings out. Obviously, there will be spoilers and some negativity, so if you're good with that read ahead, if not, well stop reading I guess.

---

>!So, first off, chapter's good story-wise. Great stuff. But... there's things I don't like, so I'm gonna talk about that because it's Flowey-related. I came into this thinking I prepared for the worst, thought I was still gonna have a fun time hanging out with the flowers, though. Well, see, they all turned into humans. And the thing is I get really, really uncomfortable with non-human creatures/beings being turned into humans, so yeah. I ended up not minding the others so much, but the golden flower...!<

>!Well, he wasn't Flowey, which is a relief to be honest. Although his name is "Flowery" so it still makes me uneasy. To be honest I really don't like him. I was so creeped out by him the moment he showed up. We had to give him a joke name just so I could get through this (we called him Chad lol). He wasn't the manipulative asshole I thought he was and even tried to save Asgore, but got injured and now the golden flower is cut/torn (which pained me very much to see since the flower obviously reminds me of Flowey). He's not a bad guy, but still don't really like him.!<

>!I guess all that really freaked me out was the thought of Flowey being a human suddenly. Also a little conflicted on the message at the end, but eh, I'm not the one writing this. At least it was better than Undertale where flowers were seen as soulless and not alive (at least from my perspective on things Alphys said). I still don't like that "turning into beings of higher consciousness" (paraphrased, already don't remember what exactly it said lmao) means they can't stay flowers and have to turn into humans. Boring but whatever, not my story.!<

>!So, yeah, Deltarune's equivalent of Flowey is weird and I don't like him and he stresses me out and man I wanted to stab him so many fucking times. And also called him an asshole several times. And also told him to fuck off that one time. I was pretty upset. At least I can ignore him because he's not Flowey and I can laugh because we called him Chad.!<

>!I'm conflicted on how I feel about Deltarune, but I think I'll stick around until the end in case Asriel does show up. Due to Flowey association and all that, I do kind of want to see Asriel. And Flowery took over despised Flowey-related character role yesterday so for now Asriel's on neutral again instead of love-hate.!<

>!My stress should wear off in some time, but yeah just wanted to let some feelings out. They're a bit all over the place 'cause I feel conflicted, but me and Flowey can chill now.!<

I probably should've posted this sooner since I posted it elsewhere days ago, but I was lazy, so I'm gonna post it now before the lazy and tired takes me away.

It's always fun exploring alien worlds, there's so much to discover! Different creatures, different environments, so many fun things. Sometimes, we're busy getting blasted or kidnapped by aliens and it's not fun, but this adventure is calm at least.

Hope everyone is doing well 🌼

Howdy, have some doodles :]

Some updates/news: I might be more inactive than next few days depending on how much the new/upcoming Deltarune chapter stresses me out. It's flower-themed and looks like it'll have something to do with the Flowey-looking flower in the flower shop, so I'm scared, but I'll be fine. It's Deltarune not Undertale so I can ignore everything if anything goes wrong I guess.

I might drop by to give updates or just comment, I just might be tired since my anxiety tires me out. And since artfight is in July and I've decided to actually join this year, I'll probably be either busy or extra tired, but I can’t help but hang out here even if just in the comments, so you'll probably still me around, just posting less maybe.

Then un-related news, my brain was like "the Knight and the Hollow Knight from Hollow Knight are pretty cool, I'd like to be their friend", so now I have an AU where Flowey and I are friends with them (and also Hornet kinda). Yay friends :D

Anyway, tell me how you're all doing if you wanna. I hope you're all doing well!

Went for a line-less style this time around. I rarely do it, but it really worked for what I wanted to do with these.

I had an idea to draw Flowey and I actually exploring other planets and was asking myself why I've never really done that before. Usually we're fighting some alien that doesn't like us or something along those lines, so I guess it's because I don't think much about the calmer places.

I'm really proud of these and felt like sharing. I hope you're all having a good day/night 🌟

Sadly, we only have digital cookies, BUT that's okay because it means I can share!

If you'd like a specific pride flag let me know the flag and what shape you want and I'll get you a digital pride cookie :3 (free of charge) I like drawing pride flags so I don't mind, you can ask for up to five. They'll look like the ones in the last picture. Or if you don't want any cookies, feel free to just enjoy the silly art instead.

Anyway, enough free art ads, I had the idea to draw the it's pride month you know what that means meme, so I decided to add it in with the cookies because it fit. Flowey made the cookies :D

Hope you're all having a lovely day/night

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

I was encouraged to post our shenanigans, enjoy!

The fleas I'm referencing are from HK Silksong btw (for those who aren't familiar)

Your draconic plant enthusiast is here finally with a prompt. I've been thinking about doing this one for a while now, so here we go.

Please keep in mind I'll mainly be going off vibes or appearance since there are a lot of characters here I don't know, so if the flower doesn't match I'm very sorry. But if you'd like a flower based on symbolism, just let me know! Preferably specify what symbolism or some traits and I'll see what I can find.

This is also an excuse for me to discover more flowers :] I don't actually know that many, but would love to learn more, so this gives me a fun excuse to find various flowers. Also, I'll probably yap a bunch if I find some interesting information about the flower. ​

Flags used: Asexual, Agender, Genderqueer, AroAce, Demiromantic, Fictoromantic

Finally figured out to use the gradient properly, so now all the pride drawings have a rainbow background and I'm very happy about it. And I thought it would be funny to kind of draw the circle on the fictoro flag as a sort of portal, especially since I edited a picture of the flag with Flowey on it, so seemed like a perfect idea to have him sticking out of the circle.

Also, I'm planning to draw a bunch more pride flag stars (like the ones on picture 2) and might make a post later on that lets everyone request a pride star or heart. I drew some heart and star pride flags previously and had it be pride cookies Flowey baked, so we might do that again this year.

Have a nice very rainbow day/night 🌟

♥️🧡💛

Happy Pride, everyone!

Be proud of who you are and have fun!

💚💙💜

Yay Pride :D

Enjoy my silly drawing of Flowey stealing rainbows

More Pride drawings coming soon :]

Finally actually drew us again! I've been out of ideas for a while (I drew the Flowey and Omega Flowey stuff that I posted yesterday two weeks into May or something). So, I'm very happy. And expect many drawings for Pride Month during June :]

Also, I couldn't decide how the background on Flowey’s side should look, but since he's already on the surface by the time we meet, surface it is I guess.

Hope you're all doing good!

So, I randomly had this idea of what if Flowey and I were bodyswapped for a day and this happened.

(Also I changed the style of my watermark again. Hopefully this is the last time for a while haha)

I made the eyes different so it's easier to tell that we're swapped. But honestly the easiest tell would be that I curse wayyy more than Flowey does haha. I don't often show it online because I'm worried I might come off as aggressive, but I definitely swear a lot. And obviously we also have different behaviours that would be obvious tells to those who know us.

I didn't draw it in the pictures, but I would be surprised in the difference between how much I can hear, see and smell and Flowey can. This is why he's overwhelmed by the way, he doesn't typically hear, see or smell as much as me. He does feel things through the ground, which is a new sensation for me, though. We're experiencing new things!

This was fun! You can tell me how you think it would go if you and your partners were bodyswapped if you want :] It’s a funny idea. Have a great day/night everybody!

Hey everybody, hope you're all doing good.

Vent-update sorry :( Feel free to skip and just look at art like usual, that's why it's there. I'll try and think of a fun prompt to make up for this.

Sorry I haven't been interacting with everyone as much as I usually do, I have been gradually becoming more and more tired since the beginning of May. I'm honestly debating if I should even continue with my art project/challenge or not. I kind of am not feeling the fun anymore and am basically just waiting for August so I can draw Asriel (I'm done with Flowey’s). I don't really have an obligation to finish it, but it was a goal I set at the beginning of the year, so I'll feel bad. My planning was: June: Mettaton, July: Undyne, August: Asriel, September: Chara, October: Muffet, November: Frisk, December: Asgore.

Also, I went into Tumblr not too long ago and got my first hate comment, yay. It was kind of ridiculous and I laughed, but I was also irritated. Like there was two things from the same person, one thing said "miss or whatever..." pal, my pronouns are in my bio, just because I'm with someone who uses he/him doesn't automatically make me a girl. In that same sentence they also said I disturb them. Why didn't they just block me if I disturb them? They also commented on the Halloween art "ts is so untuff" okay buddy. This made me laugh honestly. I'm not really bothered by their comments, but I'm not feeling well so, I don’t really want to interact with some kid who doesn't know to just scroll past things they don't like. Just to be clear, I did end up blocking them.

I also have "I'm very annoying and should just go away" feelings. So, that's another reason I stayed more offline other than just me being tired. I might get over it, I might not.

Anyway, sorry for sad and vent-filled update. Flowey and I are still going strong despite how down I've been feeling. We've just had some really slow days lately and I think he's probably getting bored and looking for something to do.

In case anyone else isn't having the best time either, know it's okay to feel that way. Stay strong, things get better eventually. And if you need something to give you some hope, if there's just a small good moment in your day it's worth something.

Howdy! I'm Taru, I use they/them pronouns and I'm partnered in crime with Flowey the Flower :> We have an enbian (nblnb) relationship due to fun headcanons (based on lore).

I really like drawing and draw us a lot, and I also like playing video games. Flowey is typically seen more causing trouble, but ends up dragging me along. But I'm not complaining, I like causing mischief with him and I love him <3

Random picture of us because I don't have one that fits. I mentioned that I would write Flowey and I's day together on his birthday, which I did do and post yesterday on Tumblr (so, hi moots who have already seen it), but here it is. Might be a bit all over the place, my mood did kind of shift a lot in-between scenes, just kinda happens.

🌼🌼🌼

The morning was bright and sunny, as much as it could be on an autumn morning. The light was visible through the closed curtains and while Flowey and Taru were awake, they didn’t feel like letting all that blinding light in. They were still cuddling anyway. Taru nuzzled the side of his head, their snout pressing against his petals.

"Flowey."

"Ugh, what?" He opened his eyes slightly. They were always looking at him with those big eyes, it was hard to stay annoyed.

"You know it's finally the day."

"Oh, don't remind me."

"Today will be fun." They lightly nudged him with their head. He groaned again, but rested his head against theirs. "It's not necessarily about your birthday, I just wanted a day to do something for you."

"You're such a sentimental idiot..."

"Maybe." Taru conceded. "If you don't like the stuff I have planned, we can always go cause some trouble or something."

"And why wouldn’t I like it?"

"It was a... highly unlikely hypothetical?"

A vine stroked one of their ears. "That better be what it is. As if you could plan something I'd dislike."

"I guess you're still pretty tired."

"Oh, really? What gave it away?"

"All of the words you just said. I mean, you'd probably still say them, just not directly."

"Shut up."

"Nah."

He fake glared at them. They chuckled.

"All right, rest a bit more, we've got plenty of time to do celebrating later."

"... You’re comfy."

"Uh? Thanks?"

---

After Flowey had rested some more, Taru got some meat for themself so they'd be full of energy for the day.

He watched them finish eating before speaking, "So, what's first on your list of whatever you planned for today?"

"I guess we can start with snacks. Just get the bad stuff out of the way."

Flowey tilted his head and gave them a questioning look. He saw them summon a lunchbox with a magical note on it that says "For Flowey, KEEP CLAWS OFF". It most likely activated a barrier knowing them. They also had their picnic basket next to them.

They pushed over the lunchbox. "Here. I uh, I tried to bake something for you with some help from Roarin, because you always bake for me. It won't be as good as yours and I don't know how you'll find the taste, so I also went to buy some snacks I know you like. They're in the picnic basket." They gestured at the picnic basket with their head.

Flowey stared at the lunchbox and opened it, there were heart- and flower-shaped chocolates inside. Like those Cheshire made for them on occasion. Well, they had to learn from someone and they could never be as bad as Papyrus.

"... You really went out of your way to try, didn't you?" He was processing and struggling to hide behind any kind of deflection. Taru doesn't know how to make food, really, which is probably why they had help, but still. They didn’t just summon some things with magic like they could've, they tried to make something for him.

"Using magic would’ve been cheating," they said, "and it wouldn't have meant much."

"Thanks."

"No problem. It was kinda fun, but I think I'd have preferred if we were baking together."

"Obviously. I'm superior in skill and company."

They tried to be upset on their friends' behalves, but couldn't help laughing a little. "Flowey, that's a little mean."

"I'm not hearing that you disagree."

He looked back down at the chocolate and then over to Taru who was trying to hide their nervousness. He gestured with a vine for them to come over to him. They walked over to him and when they sat down next to him, more vines appeared and wrapped around them.

"Calm down, would you? I doubt it would taste that bad. And if it is, you're learning either way. I'm not going to hate you if your first attempt at baking tastes weird. Or your hundredth for that matter."

He decided to just eat one of them before Taru exploded from anxiety.

"I know... I just want you to like it. Because then you'll be happy."

The chocolate wasn't bad. It was a bit generic, but he wasn’t exactly expecting anything like what an experienced individual makes. All things considered, they did a good job.

"Roarin helped me with the ingredients and instructions."

"Finally, she does something useful."

"Flowey..."

"What?" he asked innocently.

"You're so mean to my friends."

"That's because I don't like sharing."

---

Taru spent time cocooned in Flowey’s vines for a while as he ate some of the chocolate they made and the other snacks they brought. He saved the rest for later. Once they were finally released they could give him his other present. Of course, Flowey just had to comment on how they seemed disappointed after being released. They just weren't expecting it! Besides, his vines give nice hugs and he usually pets them.

"Wow, already pouting?"

"No! I'm not- stop looking at me like that."

"Like what?"

They glared at his smug expression. They weren't sure why they were suddenly so embarrassed, their mood just shifted at the weirdest of times. "Let’s just get to other things! Present!"

"I think you just want to get away from me teasing you." Flowey said popping out of the ground in front of them. They didn’t realise he'd disappeared into the ground while they were having a crisis.

"Why do I have a feeling this is going to get worse after I give you your gift?"

"Well, what is it that you got me? Must be something interesting if you're concerned."

They gave him a small guitar. They still recalled his mention of playing in the past in the Underground, but that he didn't really have one for himself. So, they had summoned one by magic that would fit his size to give him today.

"Oh, so you want me to serenade you?"

They already heard Roarin joking about him doing it, Flowey joking about it was ten times worse.

"Flowey, please just shut up."

He laughed. "Fine, fine, I'm done. For now." He took the instrument with his vines and tested it out. The music was nice. Flowey seemed to like the guitar. "You’re full of surprises today, aren'tcha?"

"Well, I tried. I'm glad you like it." There was a pause, they were thinking. "I don't have much else planned except maybe taking a trip to our favourite picnic spot in the forest, so you can decide what you want to do for the rest of the day."

"Oh, really? Well," he grinned, "we haven't been nearly up to enough trouble, let's go have some fun."

"Sure."

"Great! Get a move on, then."

Flowey disappeared into the ground and reappeared some distance away. Taru quickly moved after him. They wondered what schemes he'd make today.

---

It was later in the day now, close to becoming evening. Flowey had made some food for Taru after they got back from their mischief, so they could go on that picnic and both have something to eat.

As they set down the blanket and basket using their magic, Taru spoke, "You didn't have to scare that guy on the way, you know." They were actually quite amused.

"It was funny."

"Yeah, it was."

"See? What you meant to say was, "Flowey you should totally scare that guy again, it was hilarious," right?"

"Sure, Flow. That's definitely what I meant to say." They replied sarcastically.

"Exactly. I know what you’re really thinking, Taru."

They couldn't help but laugh. His antics had a way of making them smile, even though he probably shouldn't be scaring the hell out of some poor soul. They moved closer to him and nuzzled his head.

"Always so affectionate." He pretended to be annoyed, but nuzzled them back. "Today was fun, thanks."

"Your petals are soft, I'm gonna fall asleep."

"At least eat first."

"Mm, okay."

🌼🌼🌼 ​

I stopped like in the middle of this to play UTY lol (Flowey was not telling me the next lines I was supposed to write, so I just hung out with him in-game instead). Most of this is probably only funny to me, but that's okay.

Anyway, hope everybody has a good day/night 🌟

Flowey doesn't have a canonical birthday, but we picked today as a good celebration day. We're both immortal, so we don't really have a need for birthdays, I just wanted a day to celebrate him.

So, happy birthday to my chaotic flower :] I hope he has lots of fun today! I've been planning a lot of stuff since the start of May that we would do in our shared world, so here's a rundown of that.

---

First, me and Roarin (best friend I created) tried to bake something for Flowey, since he always bakes for me and him. I'm not nearly as experienced with food, but that's why I had some help. And I could just magic up some if I really wanted to, but that doesn't take effort. While we were baking, I sent Clover to go cause trouble with Flowey so he would be distracted. We'll see today how that paid off. He's probably going to tease me about it or something haha.

Then, I wanted to get him a gift, but I was a little stuck on what I could give him. I eventually thought about getting him a small guitar (since he knows how to play guitar in our world, but he doesn't own one). While I was looking into it with a friend's help, said friend made a joke about him serenading me, I can’t get that out of my head now lol. Anyway, so after looking for a bit, I decided to magic up one that's small enough that he can hold and play it. The monsters had plenty of instruments I took inspiration from.

And lastly, we'll just go and take a small little trip through the forest. Maybe even go to our favourite picnic spot.

---

I didn’t draw as much as I wanted to for today (just the picture present in the post), I had plans to draw our day together, but art block kind of hit. And all I could draw after I got some inspiration was for my bug-like aliens (what a surprise that playing Silksong makes me work on bug thingies instead lol). I'm gonna go write our experience of today, though. And if I'm feeling up to it, I might boot up UTY so I can spend some time with him.

Anyway, I'm gonna try my best to make today really fun for him! He definitely deserves it after all he's done for me.

💛💛💛💚💚💚​
