Alright.

No. Just. No.

If you knew it was not a rose all along, why didn't you tell us? You even say in this comment section, dated Feburary 10 of this year - two months ago! - that you didn't know why you named it the Rhodanthe Rose in response to Garr asking about the whole "rhodanthe is a daisy genus" thing, because the artifact was three years old. When Elsa and Draco talked about it 3 years ago, when the artifact was hot off the presses, you didn't clear up their misconceptions that this was an actual rose, either.

But what really grinds me, and the reason that I'm laying into you like this, is because of your snappy little response. "If it bothers you so much I can change the type from Plant to Daisy." It should not feel like you are doing us a favor to change something of your creation. It's a GREAT idea. It's an AWESOME concept for an artifact. You should be proud of what you created. And speaking as an artist who did a lot of peer review in college, it is such a SLAP IN THE FACE to have someone take your critique with "oh let me fix this for you so you feel better about my project." It makes me not want to interact with that person or that person's art, it makes me feel like I'm a bad critiquer, and it just kills the good mood of a creative environment.

And all we are doing is just sitting here, pitching ideas back and forth on (without hide nor hair of commentary from you until this gem of a response) about just crystalizing this idea, refining it to

A) Fit in the Dark Vault, which is for emotionally volatile artifacts, or decide whether it would be better housed somewhere else

B) Make it distinctive from the other 3(!) possible canon roses for the Dark Vault

and C) Making a better name, because we were under the impression that there wasn't an important reason attached to it as it currently stands. You know, because, and I reiterate this yet again - you said you didn't know where the name came from.
