AAAAAAAAAAAA OMG HE STEPPED ON WATER SWEET JESUS CHRIST LICK THAT SHIT OFF

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love sleeping alone in my bed and being able to completely sprawl out. But there’s something about being woken up in the middle of the night to your person scooting over and grabbing you closer. Even when you sleep on your stomach and angled all weird yet they still find a place to comfortably lay their head on your back and intertwine their legs with yours.

Building a treehouse is the biggest insult to a tree. “I killed your friend, here hold him.”

Plants don’t wage war

Mint and strawberries, too. They need to be quarantined or they will kill basically everything else. 

This post did not go where I expected it to.

Yall mother fuckers don’t even talk unless you’ve had to wage war on kudzu (it’s an ivy strain directly from Hell) that shit doesn’t just wage war with other plants, it wages war with all living things on planet earth. It’s some gnarly ass Blood for the Blood God, Chlorophyll for the Chlorophyll Throne demon weed. 

Near my parents’ house in Oregon there’s an old WWII army training camp that’s long been abandoned, and it’s full of concrete remnants of buildings that are completely overrun with blackberries. It’s a really great spot to go berry picking, and it has an eerie, post-apocalyptic feel.

That’s not even considering allelopathic interactions between plants-look up the black walnut tree (its toxin, juglone, is the most famous example)- basically, it wages chemical warfare on nearby plants through the root system (though the nutshells also contain juglone too). Juglone discourages germination rates and even inhibits root growth of already existing plants! Allelopathy in general is a new field-theres Discourse™ because each particular toxins only works on specific plants, which vary; therefore it’s really fucking hard to regulate & compile enough data to test out the effects of such chemicals compared to other factors (pests, soil depletion, etc), but theres a little community still because Targeted Pesticides™ would be really rad yo

So yeah you go plants go poison that waterhole

Um i was skimming the post and saw PLANT WARS so,,, I may have dumped a little too much,,, Suffice to say that plants are super versatile and should be feared Bow before them

Nature, red in tooth, claw, and rhizome.

@elodieunderglass Plant wars?

Plant wars! And it’s good that people can see these dire mint posts aren’t just the gibbering of a lone fanatic with a swan icon (me) but a significant piece of plant lore! Come to that, I think mint even crept into an Ursula Vernon novel? @ursula-vernon it certainly seems like the sort of thing it would do! …. why has my tumblr just devolved into waterbirds and mint

in cutthroat kitchen the challenge in spaghetti and meatballs and this guy buys a sabotage to take away all of 1 ingredient from any chef. so he takes away this lady’s garlic. and everyone’s like “why the fuck did you not take her pasta” and he’s like “i know what i’m doing”. when the judge gets to that lady’s dish (and this was her only sabotage) he’s like “this is really underseasoned i’m not tasting any garlic or seasonings you’d expect from spaghetti and meatballs” and the camera just zooms in on the guy grinning. goddamn

thats dumb. what if people could sabotage each other in the Olympics like that? “oh, you’re allowed to take away one thing from your opponant” and like the compatition is lap swimming or something and the guy goes “alright, no water allowed for you.”
