A Cryptic Cryptid

I hate that SEPTember OCTOber NOVember and DECember aren’t the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months.

Whoever fucked this up should be stabbed

Today’s your lucky day

here’s a DM power move i’ve done that you should do. introduce an extremely plot relevant NPC who speaks exclusively in an uWu voice. i have one, her name is Squeak, and she’s a tiny rotund grung. she’ll also say stuff like “the catacwysm has devwastatwed the wealm. wefugees are fweeing to the cwourt of wavens. it’s a bwoodbwath” and my players just have to fucking. take it

Love seeing the updates to this post

Imma cry I-

HIS NAME IS PINGU AND HE’S A PYGMY FALCON

He is made out of Joy <3

He squeak

The best thing about this is when you’re reading a text post above it and the little friend keeps popping up into the bottom 1/8 of your screen. Near subliminal lil fluff pops.

Actually pretty easy. Trees don’t reject tissue from other trees in the same family. You bend the tree to another tree when it is a sapling, scrape off the bark on both trees where they touch, add some damp sphagnum moss around them to keep everything slightly moist and bind them together.  Then wait a few years- The trees will have grown together.  You can use a similar technique to graft a lemon branch or a lime branch or even both- onto an orange tree and have one tree that has all three fruits. Frankentrees.

As a biologist I can clearly state that plants are fucking weird and you should probably be slightly afraid of them.

On that note! At the university (UBC) located in town, the Agriculture students were told by their teacher that a tree flipped upside down would die. So they took an excavator and flipped the tree upside down. And it’s still growing. But the branches are now the roots, and the roots are now these super gnarly looking branches. Be afraid.

I am both amazed and horrified of nature as we all should be

I love how trees are like “fuck it, I’ll deal” at literally everything. Forest fire? Cool, my seeds’ll finally grow. Upside down? Branches, suck, roots, leave. What’s this new branch? Eh, welcome to the tree buddy.

I need to be more like tree

I continue to fear and respect out arboreal overlords.

what kind of professor did these students have that they needed to prove him wrong so badly that they literally dug up a tree, flipped it and put it back in the ground?

HOLY SHIT

THE LAST ONE

Solarpunk as fuck!!

Reblogging for “I continue to fear and respect out arboreal overlords.”

Plants larfe and small, have been the dominant branch of life since before we had spines, we live in an oxygenated world of their creation. We are right to fear and respect them.

reblogging again because this is IMPORTANT

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, PEOPLE! REBLOG TO SAVE A WRITER’S LIFE!

Yes, very important.

👏👏 LISTEN UP FANFIC WRITERS

I learned this the hard way if you didn’t do this at first don’t feel bad. I had to be told to do this.

Also if you’ve ever read fantasy books you might notice they will have LONG and drawn out talking sequences, especially if a character is telling a story! IF THIS HAPPENS…. “You leave the first quotations and talk until a new time, place or topic changes. “Then you’ll notice above I left the end of the paragraph without an end quotation! You can do this so long as you always put the first quotation on the next paragraph and don’t put the end quotation until you’re done with the story. “This way when you end the story that the character was speaking, all you have to do is put the end quotation and the readers will know that only now the story ended and you won’t have an enormous block of text.”

I am so excited to know how much, exactly, a buttload is.
