Song: My Past is Not Today (Vylet Remix ft. Strigidae) (kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6LZYmqdbbCKntE)
I never really thought much about Flower throughout BFDI and into the first half of BFB. But her change becomes apparent towards the end and it is really incredible to see her character evolve from her debut all the way back in the first episode.
Watch BFDI: bfdi.tv

Wow, the music fits Flower's story arc so well! Sometimes I forget she used to be the villain of BFDI. I also love the visual style of characters having colored silhouettes, it's so symbolic-feeling!

It’s like how they say “My past does not define me, my past is not today”. It really means something.

[@voidyvoid11]

"I really did win, didn't I" Always makes me smile, it feels like I can relate to her, and it feels like I saw an actual person grow, it always gives me chills. Flower did have a good character development, she tried to be better, and she did go through it. That's why I love Flower, that's why she's in my top ten. I just love her character so damn much.

[@foxliasgriffinYT]

flower really is awesome, she agnowleged her mistakes and tried to get better no one is perfect and no one goes in a straight line of becoming better, a person can't just instantly become good, and it's clearly seen in flower she didn't just suddenly decide she will be good and succeeded in it, she took a while to agnowleged her mistakes, how to learn from them and getting other people's trust and love was the most hardest for her, and I'm glad she did achieve it in one way or another one thing I kinda wished in bfb is to have more noticeable character arcs and changes, and I have to agree we did get some like firey and leafy, bubble and her alliance(altho I'm still not fully sure how it ended and if they're still in an alliance or not), purple face escaping his box and getting flower as a friend I guess?? Woody learning to speak better and helping otjers in the things he suffered with, although flowers arc is definetly the most memorable and I don't get people who think her change was forceful or something, she litteraly spent YEARS redeeming herself

[@foxliasgriffinYT]

@@MagicalApRookie idk if ur being aggresive or not lol

[@thegameplayers494]

Well I think people think her change was forceful because they didn't know the time in real life is canon to the BFB world.Example: BFB 4 was made 7 months ago(not true,its just an example) and bfb 8 was made 8 days ago meaning the BFB characters waited 7 months to finally compete in another CHALLENGE.BFDI even proves my point as it is seen multiple times in the TLC that the people are saying stuff like "How does it feel to be back after ___ months?"

[@Plasmaboiiscool]

It's hard to think that Flower used to be a mean, cruel, selfish bully. Her character development was beautiful. She deserved the win 100%.

[@Matrixpandagamer]

This music video is so accurate. It really shows how Flower went from a rude brat to the kindhearted and generous contestant she is now.

[@alexandrevachon541]

Hearing Flower saying "I really did win, didn't I?" hits me hard. This gives me a warm and happy feeling.

[@sepi_spark]

just realized where this song is from 👀 in all seriousness though, I loved flowers character development a LOT. she was my first favorite BFDI character, and given that she won BFB she totally deserved it! ^_^ this is a very heartwarming video, and just how she started BFB she also ended it :))

[@paisleepunk]

Can't say if I beat you to that conclusion or not.

[@Feral_cockroach121]

I feel bat for her, she was hated forever before she started to redeem herself, winning the BFDI, And the BFB, but then giving it away. She is such a bittersweet character..

Hopefully Four learns this, so that he can except the fact about Flower's nature and later gives her good credits for her victory.

[@ScutoidStudios]

I really did win, didn't I. That is why flower won. That line could not have worked for gelatin, or any other contestant. Imaging lollipop saying that at the end. Idc if it was botted (which it was). I am glad. This was the ending bfb deserved.

[@AMA-Animations]

This video is beautiful🌸 This video bring tears in my eyes🥲 Flower really has been changed #1 Best Character Development Ever I’m glad I start to Love Flower since The Post-Split (BFB 17) I’ll give that a 100 out of 10 Stay Creative👍

[@ioannishussein8038]

Those lyrics really mean something. Even if you make mistakes, you have to learn from them and move on. “My past does not define me, my past is not today.” It really means a tremendous development for Flower. It was similar to how an actual person had tried to be better. And it was confirmed to be very true. Throughout the story, Flower was a major villain in BFDI, but completed her redemption to being a BFB winner. After all those character developments she had taken by commending the people that did very well. Thanks for providing those heartwarming lyrics about the BFDI character. The entire support is well appreciated.

I feel bad for her. Back in bfdi she was mean, but in bfb Flower realized that something is wrong,so friendship is the only way you can succeed and change in the better way. She is trying to be the best and she is truly doing the best! This video is beautiful and accurate. 😇👍

Flower used to be one of my least favorites in BFDI, but shes in my top 10 favorites in BFB. She was mean to everyone but tried to redeem herself and she did. She's changed the most out of all 64 contestants.

This is amazing and it really represents how Flower has improved and changed over the years. You get second chances, just don't mess the second chance up.

[@ColtonTheBOZO]

This is very accurate to what explains Flower’s Personality change. Flower has definitely changed from BFDI to BFB, mostly in Post-Split BFB. The song fits really well toward Flower, since Flower had always had a Good Side in her. The Deep inputs in the video easily fill into Flower, Going from a Mean, Selfish Person to a Nice, Loving Person. I appreciate you making this video, its very great. You’re always so talented in your videos, Katyj98. I always look forward for more!

The fact that flower won and she got no prize but a gross cake didn't trigger her in bfb 30. The old flower would've complained. But the modern flower gave the announcer the bfdi. And gelatin the bfb. I mean at least she got the grand cake, and freinds. :]

Absolutely stunning work, Katy! This hit me In the feels so hard, this is perfectly accurate to her character I'm shocked. Her character arc is one of, if not the best in the ENTIRETY of BFDI. Again, beautiful work Katy and keep it up! Glad to see you back, too.

seriously, flower is one of my biggest favourites. gosh i really did forget she used to be the villain of bfdi, well thanks to cary for saying that xD but this video is amazing. it's been a really long time since i watched this channel. this is a really nice thing to see about flower, notice how she made a huge change of herself!! watching this video makes me feel happy especially the ending, it makes me feel an emotion i cant describe. ( in a good way though! ) now thats a lot of words xD but other than that, i love this video

[@ayaplayswhattyes]

Because bfb ended, I feel like an old person. Throughout the series I always liked flower. She was the best, even though she was quite mean sometimes. But I knew and still didn't care about people who hate her. Even if I was the only one who liked her, I was happy about it. And flower won bfb!! I was really happy about it. She was my first bfb character since I was little! ❤️

[@gelatinwarrior]

Awesome show of the change of flower across the years.

[@haloplays13]

Not gonna completely lie. Flower's personality has changed drastically years passed by! 2011, she was rude, and extremely hostile. Now in 2022, she has a friendly personality but still has the rude personality. I love this, even the remix!

As a former fan of mlp, (the show where this song is from) I never noticed how much this song fits Flower! It’s sort of a coincidence how I haven’t watched your videos in forever, but when I discover it again I find a video with two of my favorite shows that hold a special place in my heart. This comment sounds pretty cheesy, but I just felt like I should say something. Never realized an mlp song could fit an object show character so well lol

[@bearboy484]

[@Sinking_Sunset]

Flower is like Heather in Total Drama 1 - Is hated in the first season they compete in (BFDI) 2 - Becomes a sort of background character in the second season (BFB before split) 3 - Has a redemption arc and wins the third season (BFB after split)

[@urd4dd]

This is awesome, something about Flower just- it makes me so happy because she's been through so much to become to where she is now. She's happy and has friends, she's no longer selfish and cares for others and just wants friendship. The past is the past, but now , is now, 💙💙
