Here are my tags for the Green Thumb Technus @petrichorcryptidlore post, if anyone would like to read them. I’ve also added on some of the tags I wanted to include that Tumblr ended up eating, hence the title “Lost Tags.” ^_^
#he'd probably try to program it
#but since he knows nothing about either nurturing a living thing nor programming
#all his efforts would be in vain
#even a virtual plant would not survive
#RIP the garden of technus
#unless Sam rescues it and takes it under her own care
#which you know she would
#she wouldn't even need Danny to beat up technus to get to the plants
#and technus would let her
#it's not like he was doing them any good
#and who needs plants anyway
#he has technology and that's all he needs
#Sam ends up feeling bad about his sulking and teaching him to take care of little air plants
#she uses the ones that die as fertilizer for her own garden
#and quietly replaces them so he still thinks he's doing a good job
#it's a weird mentor-mentee/hero-villain/frenemy thing
#that's kind of what 98% of all the 'Ghost Getters'' relationships with ghosts boil down to after a few years anyway
#so at least Sam is getting cheap-ish organic fertilizer out of this particular weird partnership
#like how Tucker is getting free ghost tech access in exchange for periodically reprogramming Skulker's PDA
#the one that makes him go research gorillas every time it resets back to its defaults
#or how Johnny 13 spies on Vlad and other high-level threats in exchange for
#not getting snitched on to Kitty when he goes to the human realm without her
#AND not getting beat up and tossed in the thermos repeatedly
#he asked for candid pics of Jazz doing stuff like reading in the park and doing her hair and stuff
#but when Danny’s eyes started to glow at the suggestion
#I mean he still ends up fighting Danny
#with the obvious exception of those who have actually sworn their loyalty to him like Wulf and The Far Frozen and so on
#but despite the fights and the returns to the ghost zone and the general animosity
#Technus has a hobby he enjoys now
#and Skulker can take a breath and LIVE his unlife freely for a few months at a time before needing to renegotiate with Tucker
#and Johnny’s relationship with Kitty has rarely been so stable
#so yeah they’re still enemies but
#Sam praises Technus for the health of his newest Aloe plant
#slipping up and saying she’ll have to buy her own fertilizer this time
#maybe they’re not enemies so much as just
