okay so Bugaria is radioactive

Let me explain.

Crystals are wild. They do all sorts of stuff, like powering things and giving bugs magic powers if they're exposed. And what is an excellent source of power and frequently gives superpowers in stories? Radiation.

The Mother Crystal, as said in the lore book of the same name, has an aura that "protects Bugaria from the outside world's great perils". Presumably, this line is referring to the Dead Landers, which might be less resistant to radiation than the inhabiting bugs. Either way, Bugaria's radioactive. (This could also be in reference to the eternal spring, but I don't like the eternal spring so I'm ignoring it for now.)

But there's more. In the lore book "Bugarian Honey", it says that the honey likely behaves the way it does (turning into monsters is also a thing radiation does in fiction) due to crystal fragments in the plants. These fragments would pass from the plants to the honey to, based on all the places honey drops are found, the majority of the citizens. Even those that don't eat honey would still be eating the plants, or the animals that eat plants. Anyone who eats enough Bugarian food is radioactive.

It's okay though! Sorta. Various studies have shown that insects are more resistant to radiation than mammals, and some plants and fungi are radioresistant as well. So our heroes and the world they live in are probably safe. They've lasted this long!

Probably not great for tourism though.

Final note: most crystals glow blue. So does radiation (sometimes).

DUDE. OH MY FUCKING GOD. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW YOU WORD IT, THEY WERE STILL DRUGS JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. IF YOU REALLY WANNA CALL IT THAT, I WILL FIX THIS FOR YOU, IT WAS HALLUCINOGENIC PLANT MEDICINE THAT IS ILLEGAL TO GIVE TO MINORS THAT, ONCE AGAIN, I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE. LITERALLY FUCK YOU

You know that Chris Fleming line that goes "Call yourself a community organizer even though you're not on speaking terms with your roommates"?

I honestly think every leftist who talks about the "revolution" like Christians talk about the rapture needs to spend a year trying to organize their workplace. Anyone who sincerely talks about building a movement so vast and all-encompassing that it overwhelms all existing power structures needs the dose of humility that comes with realizing they can't even build a movement to get people paid better at a badly run AMC Theaters where everyone already hates the manager.

Are there multiple meanings to this? Yeah. Am I gonna explain it? No, because I’m a vampire when it comes to talking about my lore and messages.
