ive just finished the two arcs of ruination of deathly flowers and we really need to see that empress get stepped on like the cockroach she is?!?! and u have to explain those yellow and orange flowers?! And mk's hair and the flowers and the weather and the kingdom reflecting his wellbeing bcos thOSE ARE SO MAGICAL✨ SO GREAT 🤧🤧🤧AND THE ROYAL WEDDING!!! WE NEED TO SEE IT!!! And have both kingdoms flourish in yellow and orange flowers huhuhu this was so goood huhuhu these little fantastical details about the tiger empire and their emperor?! Ugh the world building was done so well; it aches how it was so beautifully written too?! the way minhyung worships his flower donghyuck ughhh 🤧🫶 will be patiently waiting for your next arc should there be one! 🫶🫶🫶🫶
ahhh omg, thank you for this question, because it's everything i wanted people to take away from this story! since you asked i will divulge—the orange and yellow flowers are actually "tiger lilies" that i used in the cover images for both arcs. in the first arc, they were blue (because i found out blue tiger lilies exist and are just so beautiful). upon meeting donghyuck, they take on their "true form" persay, which is the common orange tiger lily we are more familiar with! you should definitely google them, i think they're so beautiful and suit the atmosphere of growing vibrantly outside a palace ^^ tiger flowers for the Tiger Emperor ^^ of course, the flower that grows wherever donghyuck goes is the sunflower, which is why at the end chenle managed to follow a trail of "intertwined" sunflowers and tiger lilies to miraculously find the emperor and the prince ^^
and once more, thank you for this arc because it seems the general consensus is people aren't exactly ready for their story to end yet... which is honestly how i feel too in a way. even though this was supposed to be the comfy ending to indicate that they would now be together, i find i can't stop thinking about them either. there's definitely still a lot of their scenes that i can picture vividly in my mind and i definitely want to do more with this world. so who knows? i think i just might do it spontaneously one day... since i keep thinking about them anyway 🌸
