So, uh, it's like... a week late, but...

What'd you guys get your moms for Mother's Day? Like, what'd be a good gift? One that says "Sorry I forgot and thanks for putting up with me while I was friggin' bedridden." I'm open to suggestions. And yeah, I know it's an asshole-ish thing to do, forgetting like that, okay?

[ Let's ignore the fact that Jean's been away for over a month... ]

[ filtered to Rangers: ]

So I let the bigwigs know but I didn't like, make an announcement or anything but... I guess I kinda... evolved? Like a month ago? So I was getting used to new wings and shit. But the point is I'm good now. And I can fly! Uh, a little. So take that, Eren!

[ Except that buttwings moniker is totally gonna be more obvious now... ]

You could always press them.

That would make them last rather than wilt. It takes some extra effort, but you did forget Mother's Day.

Do you know how to press them already? If not, I can tell you. It's not too hard, but there is a method.

You're going to want a thin cloth to dry the flower with, and a thick book. Get a couple of pieces of paper to protect the book's pages from colour that might come off of the petals, then press the flower in between the middle of the pages.

[That can take a while, though, so she adds:]

If you want to press it a little faster, you can put a weight on the book - a rock will do. Once it's dry and pressed, you can mount it and put a picture frame around it. I recommend pressing a few flowers together in an arrangement.
