idk if it's stress-related burnout or what but man

I'm staring like an idiot at a blank post trying to write these starters

...This patch of flowers wasn't here before. They were large and vibrantly pink, swaying softly in the day's breeze. The soil around them looked freshly disturbed, so they had either been planted here recently... or grown exceedingly fast.

How strange.

@heroicmisadventure.bsky.social

It is currently... raining flowers?
Large, pink ones that drifted down slowly and settled on the ground like the most unnatural snow. Their source is unknown for the time being, and yet... one couldn't help but feel it would make its presence known very soon.

antares

Mornin'.
It's very early so I might end up dozing off again.

@thedonutaddict.bsky.social

Huh... there never used to be a field of pink flowers outside of Springfield, but now there is. That's certainly strange.

Stranger still is the giant one in the distance that seems to have an EYE and is moving around...

antares

Bloom and Cube (at least Stella's Cube) know each other, btw :)

@close-to-me.bsky.social

"Ah, hello, friend!"

The flower's eye curves into a smile as he greets the unexpected visitor, each of his countless petals dwarfing her and yet... there was no sense of hostility from the giant flower toward her.

@the-cyan-savior.bsky.social

Cyan has found a new place; an area tucked away in some corner of Paradise filled with an ocean of endless pink flowers that swayed in the wind.

Some seemed much larger and pinker than the others, visibly pulsing with corruption, whilst most were pleasant-looking.

@the-pink-reaper.bsky.social

The flower-being is currently tending to his garden, planting seeds into the earth below with countless vines sprouting from beneath his petals to dig holes into the ground and sprinkle the seeds.

He seems... deeply focused on his work.

antares

Weeeee

Bloom appears as a giant flower capable of generating an infinite number of flowers and thorned vines for both defense and offense; he also has a humanoid form.

-

Bloom uses He/They pronouns interchangably.

-

They aren't particularly aggressive unless their precious garden is harmed in any way, at which point they will likely attack the offender. They have no allegiance to other corruption-aligned beings (such as The Boss) and will equally lash out at them if slighted or disturbed.

-

Despite being a source of Corruption (being born Corrupted rather than being, well, corrupted by it) Bloom doesn't particularly spread corruption around and mostly keep to themselves, growing gardens of flowers akin to themselves (though not alive, obviously).

I might flip this to a JSaB OC I made on my break

Not really feeling blix atm

"...Someone took my plushie."

Wait what.

"SOMEONE TOOK MY PLUSHIE FROM MY CAVE."

He's... that upset about a toy?

"..."

It is taking an infinite amount of patience to not suckerpunch this obnoxious little shit...

-he can shrink, though, and gets scaled down in most interactions lol.

He also has a plushie from his parents (literally the only people who ever loved him and they still abandoned him in a cave to stop the corruption spreading)

antares

Well the big, main thing is Blix IS the Corruption. He wasn't corrupted or anything, him and it are one and the same.

I also scale things to relative real world stuff, so the tree of life is about the size of an oak (which makes Blix, who's about the same size, around 60 feet tall), but-

"Holy shit, was I always this fuckin' loud?"

antares

And also!

His AU is called New Dawn (after the Teminite song) :)

antares

The quickest way to befriend Blix would be to fix his busted plushie tbh

It's all he has since, being the source of all Corruption (and hence being born corrupted) he was pretty much treated like the boogeyman all his life
