ahh so sorry for the long wait on judging! again ;w;
there were so many great forms, and i really enjoyed looking through all of them. the stories ranged from sweet to sad, but each and every one was an amazing read <3 not to mention all of the art, its gorgeous! first ill announce the HM stub winners-
rubixilam - x1 stub
i love amber's enthusiasm, and how excited she is for spring to come! the extra story is very lighthearted and cute, and the art is gorgeous. <3
Wolfenhimer - x1 stub
i really love statik's helpful nature, and how she helped the child get back home safely. the significance of the astrantia is really nice as well. the art was really cute, and the extra story was a cute little adventure between two viscets, and i found the banter to be pretty funny! the cliffhanger left me wanting more as well <3
and the RUs! i had a feeling i was gonna award one, but after reading these last few forms i just had to award another ;;
Mint Chip
freesia's story was very sad, with the determination her mother had to keep her alive during the winter, and succeeding at the cost of her own life. the significance of the daffodil to her tied in with the story fantastically, and i could see why that would be her favorite. freesia is very strong and it sounds like she would have become great friends with caelum <3 the art is stunning and i could see how relaxed she seemed in the field of daffodils.

alani relationship with her father is adorable, and i love how she helps him tend to the garden. its really sad how her father died and she felt as if she had no purpose, but then found it again when she met kindle. i love the idea of the staff (im getting... mercy vibes from it >w>) and how it can calm others down, and how she uses it. the art was awesome and i loved seeing what the staff would actually look like!
if you want to claim your RU, just PM me a natural color (for the base coat) and an unnatural color (for the accents; i may not use the unnatural color at all, but please send me one just in case!). the RU will automatically have the fox tail trait as its the most identical to the firefly tail ^w^
aaaaaand the winner! it was really hard to choose, and took me a bit of pondering to actually decide.

clover's childhood was really sweet, and i love his relationship with the bees. how both him and the bees like the sunflower, and theyve established a mutual relationship because of that- also the fact that he believes that eating the sunflower would make you immortal! his relationship with anise is adorable, and i love how he has to coach her into liking the bees. very funny when she got stung, pff <3 its a sad feeling when they parted ways to go on their separate adventures, and i could reflect that in the gorgeous piece of art you made. the story where his home burns down and he is saved by anise is bittersweet. in all it was an amazing read, making you the winner of this viscet! <3
thanks so much for the awesome contest you guys! again, so sorry for the wait on judging!
