Hii, it's me again 💗

Mhm, since they are universes is something difficult to explain, but could I try to give you a little explanation of each one?

Pistilverse: more than talking about the types (pistil, stamen, calyx, etc.), I will say that it is closely related to flowers and flowering. It is a universe that, depending on how it is treated, can be very toxic or too beautiful. When a Stamens (who have a flower) sleeps with a Pistil (who only possess one stem) the Pistil gets the flower from the Stamen. There are many more variants, such as toxins and wilting. It has many details that you as an author can decide.

Tattooverse: it is a little less complicated, it is basically divided into two "Heartlings" and "none Heartlings". Heartlings are born with a red heart tattoo that defines their future (what they will be good at), for example a heart in their throat can mean that they will be a singer. Nones are born with a black tattoo and can ask for hide their condition (erase the black tattoo). If a Heartling's tattoo touches a None, they will feel extreme pain and suffer side effects: for example, if the tattoo is on the neck, the None will lose their voice, and the larger the contact area, the longer the effect will last. The Nones and Heartlings can make a deal called "engraving" that only ends when one of them dies, and is set when the Heartling's tattoo completely touches the None. Unlike normal contacts, after engraving the None is not penalized even if it is touched by another Heartling's tattoo. Heartlings, on the other hand, suffer side effects when their tattoo touch a different None.

I hope this helps (a little?) 🙏🏻✨

OHH so Pistilverse means that they're like flowers!! My mind is spinning a little with these terms bc english is not my first language so flower biology terms in english are not familiar hahah

The tattooverse sounds pretty angsty >< I'll do some more research

Thank you for the explanation!!! :D
