Medicinal Garden Kit

Inside your Medicinal Garden Kit, you’ll find 10 smaller packages with each type of seed. 4,818 high-quality, NON-GMO seeds packaged in US.

Even if you’ve never planted anything before, you’ll have no trouble growing these 10 plants. You will find details on how to plant, grow, and harvest each one in the free Herbal Medicinal Guide: From Seeds to Remedies that you'll receive with your Medicinal Garden Kit.

You cannot find these 10 seeds in one package anywhere else. Before I made it, I had been looking for something like this for a long, long time.

And I would have been willing to pay A LOT for it. Just think about how much money you spend at the pharmacy. The average American spends $1742 each year. I think your new backyard pharmacy will save you at least a few hundreds of that. That's what I call a good investment.

BUT, that doesn't even matter, because you are investing in something much more important: your health! If you want to treat yourself naturally, than this is the medicinal garden you want to have in your backyard.

Don't take your health for granted like I did. Do not wait for it to deteriorate, to do something about it. One day it might be too late. Click on the button below now to get this medicinal garden in your backyard and start taking care of your health naturally.

DOMESTIC!SEVIKA HEADCANONS

Let's agree that Sevika doesn't spend much time at home, as she has to attend to business matters all day and night, and she spends her breaks at the betting shops or in some seedy pub where she feeds her fondness (perhaps addiction) to gambling.

However, Sevika must live in the vicinity of the centre of Zaun where she works. Probably in some austere apartment with one bathroom and a narrow kitchen (not that she uses it much either).

She tends to leave the terrace open to air out the smell of tobacco, already permeating the curtains and the carpet.

Her room is at the end of the hallway, it is not very big but it is comfortable, and its window faces the same avenue. At night, the neon color of the signs enters and draws silhouettes on the double bed, which is provided with a wine-colored bedspread and brown pillows. The dresser is usually tidy, and most of Sevika's clothes hang from the coat rack, including her poncho. There is an ashtray on the nightstand, a stained glass lamp, somewhat blackened by tobacco smoke, and in the drawer another pack of cigarettes and a Shimmer dial (which she has needed to use more frequently, being forced to work with only two hours of sleep in her body.).

Sevika is pragmatic, not much for keeping knickknacks or ornaments, however she keeps a deck of cards that her old man had given her a few decades ago, on her fourteenth birthday.

The apartment is quiet, Sevika appreciates the silence after dealing with noises of all kinds on a daily basis.

Since she doesn't spend much time at home, she doesn't tend to clean the apartment very often. She keeps the essentials clean, that is, the bathroom and her room, but the kitchen sink usually has unwashed glasses and cups and there is a thin layer of dust on the coffee table. It doesn't bother her much.

The bathroom is as austere as the rest of the apartment, with a shower and toilet, a mirror that says good morning and she answers with a "what a haggard bitch." There is a small first aid kit under the sink, next to a toolbox that allows her to repair her prosthetic arm. In the upper compartment, there is a woody perfume that she puts on her neck and on the fabric of her poncho.

She usually leaves the mechanical arm on top of the dresser before going to sleep, being the first thing she reaches for in the morning, of course, after her morning cigarette.

Sevika's breakfast: a black coffee and a cigarette. If the day promises to be unbearable, she adds a shot of whiskey to her coffee. Sometimes she buys a fruit at the market.

Sevika is not an avid cook, she does it when necessary, as she usually has almost all her meals at the Last Drop or a market stall. She usually feeds herself with whatever she can throw into the pot, adding spices, wine and water.

Her signature dish is beef stew with wine (she drinks the wine while she cooks).

Of course, she has a liquor cabinet in her living room. She usually keeps it filled with bottles of bourbon, red wine, and other stronger herbal liquors.

She's not a morning person, her first sounds in the morning are usually grunts and monosyllables, until her breakfast cigarette and a shower improves her mood (a little).

Sevika is good at math. Not just because of her gambling hobby, but because of taking care of Silco's collections and other deals involving transactions, negotiations and money. She usually keeps an accounting book in her closet, which she has to take a look on more than once when the numbers don't add up (perfectionism at its finest).

Sevika takes great care of her dental health. She appreciates clean teeth and keeps mints or candy handy to keep her breath fresh (so she can kiss her girls better).

When she's in the mood and the night allows it, she likes to take a bubble bath at home. She accompanies it with a cigarette and a nice glass of whiskey.

Yes, she has fallen asleep in said bath more than once (she is an exhausted woman, don't be mean).

Sevika usually keeps the lights low, preferring darkness.

She wears comfortable clothes at home like tank tops and sweatpants, but avoids going barefoot.

Her home may look unkempt, but she knows where everything is. If something moves without her permission, she'll notice.

She avoids having pets, as they seem like an unnecessary responsibility to add to her life. But if a stray cat wanders around her home, she leaves leftovers by the window.

She likes to plays a game of solitaire when she's free (rarely).

Sevika has nightmares. No matter how much rest she tries to get, her brain replays past mistakes or portrays possible tragedies that she is unable to stop.

She doesn't like wall clocks or alarm clocks, but she always knows the time (let's call it a busy butch superpower).

In the mornings she takes cold showers.

She doesn't tend to look at herself in the mirror for long. While she maintains her self-esteem, she is not vain by any means. She also avoids paying too much attention to her missing arm, as her mind wanders to unpleasant places.

She has a little training corner in her apartment, where she spends part of her time maintaining her body strong and fit.

Yes, she smokes between sets.

In the privacy of her room, Sevika sometimes resorts to self-pleasure to relax. Her hand and a good imagination are more than enough.

DOMESTIC!SEVIKA & PARTNER

If she has a girlfriend, inviting her over is the ultimate proof that she trusts her. No one who doesn't deserve it enters her safe space.

Her nightmares are reduced if she sleeps with her, and she often pulls her close during the night and buries her nose in her hair.

She doesn't say good morning, preferring to stare at her partner in silence until she wakes up.

She makes sure she's comfortable. She may seem disinterested, but she's bought shampoo and conditioner for her, always keeps the bed clean and the air fresh when she invites her to stay the night, and often cooks something more elaborate for dinner.

Sevika avoids smoking in her presence if she doesn't smoke, so she goes out onto the balcony several times.

She likes comfortable silences, sharing a cigarette or each minding their own business without having to start unnecessary conversations.

She is good at listening and providing advice with effective solutions. She usually sits on the couch and gives her girlfriend all the time she needs to vent.

She's not good at comforting, but she tries.

She is very receptive. It is a matter of noticing a change in her girlfriend's mood or reading her expression to know that something is going on.

If she falls asleep on the couch, Sevika takes her to her bed, if she cuts herself while cooking, Sevika, instead of worrying, simply bandages her hand. She's practical.

She really enjoys her girlfriend's company even if she doesn't say it. She looks at her, sits close to her or brushes her waist or her butt with her hand if she passes by her.

If her partner is away for a long time, Sevika gets worried. She express it with a simple "you took long" when she arrives.

Her way of asking her partner to stay the night is to simply say, "If you're sleepy, the bed is clean."

When Sevika has her partner over, she makes sure to reduce the smell of tobacco with air fresheners she bought at the market. She sprays the whole apartment and walks around sniffing to make sure it's not obvious that she smokes a pack a day.

She likes to cook if she has her over, she usually prepares more elaborate meals and uncorks her best liquor.

Sevika snores. Years of smoking, sleepless nights and punches in the nose have taken their toll on her and she snores like a truck.

When her bed partner chides her for it, she simply raises her eyebrows and asks, "Do I really snore?" (She will never admit that she snores).

[ghcstao3]

ghost having an interest in herbalism for ‘just in case’ scenarios that no one is privy to, because oftentimes there’s enough of a first aid kit accessible to manage the same things as a plant would.

until he and soap are in a bad spot, soap’s bleeding something nasty but not severe, and both their medical supplies are insufficient for full care—so ghost orders soap to keep pressure for just a few more minutes, then trudges off into the forest they’re stuck in without another word.

briefly, as soap gets a little woozy, his heart skips a beat seeing ghost return with his mask lifted past his nose—he’s about to make a comment when ghost drops down beside him, spits something into his hand, then pastes it onto soap’s wound. all his thoughts are then summed up into a simple, “what the fuck?”

“yarrow,” ghost grunts. soap just has to stare at him in disbelief, glancing between his lieutenant and the green mush on his arm that is actually, somehow, helping.

well. soap really does learn something new about ghost every day.

Star Firesight!

Bonus! Healer/Second Firesight:

And Outsider/Apprentice Rusty/Fire:

Design Notes:

I redesigned him again despite saying I would stop doing that... Prev design and old bio here.

He still has a lot of the same features as my previous design, i mostly just changed his pattern and coloring! I wanted him to be a rustier color!

I also changed his cheek fluff to be round, mostly just for an interesting face shape! his cheek fluff hangs a little more flat when he's older just to give him a more matured look (hes been thru some shit, his cheeks hath deflated)

Character Bio:

Star Firesight

(Fireheart/star)

Bisexual & Polyamorous; Trans Tom; he/him

Age as of 1st arc's beginning: 7 moons; 11 Hyrs

Age as of 1st arc's end: 2 cycles, 5 moons; ~26 Hyrs

Title meaning: -sight = this cat can spot things that others cannot; a cat with a close connection to the Stars; this healer receives many signs from the Stars; the healer may also be very good at spotting illnesses or injuries.

Outsider -> Healer -> Second -> Leader of Thunder Order

Mentor: Redtail (died) -> Spottedleaf

Mother: Nutmeg

Father: Jake

Sibling: Sapheart (Princess)

Half Siblings: Socks; Ruby: Tinyclaw

Mates: Sandstorm; Shriketail

Kits: Squirrelflight (sire: Sand); Leafpool (sire: Shrike); Foxleap (sire: Sand); Icecloud (sire: Shrike)

Grandkits: Star Hollyleaf; Falconstrike; Jaywing; Alderheart; Sparkfire

Other notable kin: Cloudtail (nephew); Snowshoe (nephew); Mistletoe (niece); Spiderleg (nephew); Shrew (nephew)

Notes:

Firesight has chronic pain (and mobility issues later in life):

Fire has the Scottish Fold breed's mutation which effects cartilage in the body, this causes his ears to fold, but it also causes chronic joint pain and can progress into swollen and inflexible joints.

For Fire, he is has the heterozygous version of this mutation, which means that his disability progresses more slowly, as a young cat he does experience some joint pain, with some days being worse than others. He is able to medicate with his own chronic pain herbal mix he created as a Healer. However as Fire grows older his joints will worsen, and by the time of his old age he will be unable to jump and some days is unable to walk.

He is able to still use his medication to aid him and is able to lead a happy life, but he is disabled and I didnt want to leave that out of his character! It's important to have disability rep (and spread awareness of the issues with the Scottish Fold breed) and I hope I serve him justice!

Character Summary:

In Progress (to be added later)

-Katniss Everdeen x Reader

Synopsis: {Katniss returns home to you after a long day of hunting and you clean her up}

I need to write more for her. Enjoy my lovelies💕

The herbal smell of venison stew dances through the air pleasantly as the pot simmers on low heat on the stove, bubbling ever so slightly whilst you potter around the kitchen. You hum a soft tune, a song that Katniss had gently whispered against your shoulder as she soothed you from a nightmare last night.

You had to convince her three times over before she finally left to go hunting today. Katniss didn’t like leaving you alone on a good day, let alone after what happened the night before.

It left a bitter taste in her mouth and an ache in the pit of her stomach that she couldn’t seem to shake. She knew you’d be fine, tucked away in the depths of the forest. Warm and safe in the small cabin you both call home, but it still doesn’t make her worry any less.

Maybe that explains why every time she comes back home there’s a small sigh of relief that passes through her lips. Her face immediately softens at the sight of you as you walk over to her, helping her to take off her coat.

“Smells good,” Katniss smirks as you thumb her cheek, rubbing away whatever stains her skin. Her eyes flutter close ever so slightly at the feeling of your soft hands.

She kicks off her boots, not wanting to track mud into the small house. “Thank you, I used the last bit of deer.” You tell her and she nods softly with a hum of acknowledgement.

You lean forward to press a kiss against her cheek, the scent of the outside lingers in her hair and against her skin. It’s something you’ve come to love, a certain sense of comfort you’ve found within it.

Katniss sits down at the kitchen table with a soft sigh, running her fingers across the grazes on her palms with a frown. You notice this, your eyebrows pulled together in worry as your gaze flickers to her sore palms and then to her face.

The sound of a gasp that comes from you makes her look up. Her eyes find yours as your hand gently cups her face, fingers curling around her jaw.

“What happened?” The softness in your tone burns away her bad mood as you take in the sight her the scrape under her chin, red sore and slightly bleeding. See, she had tripped over a tree root that was hidden beneath the fallen, trodden leaves which blanketed the forest floor with colours of orange, yellows to browns.

But Katniss would never admit this, never. “Nothing… just you know, it’s rough out there this time of year.” She murmurs, glancing down at her palms with a slight twinge of embarrassment flashing through her face.

It doesn’t take a genius to put two and two together, the grazes on her palms and underneath her chin. It’s clear what had happened… you’d save her from the embarrassment, for now.

“Looks rough, you really banged yourself up.” You have to bite back the giggle that bubbles within your throat when she shoots you a glare. Although, she’s not really mad at you, how could she be?

Especially when you press such a sweet kiss against her jaw and the way your thumb soothes against her knuckles. “Yeah… yeah.” She mumbles with a small smirk.

You take the first aid kit from the cupboard above the sink before sitting down beside her at the kitchen table. Katniss’ eyes never leave you, watching the way your soft hands take hers. You look down at the grazes on her palms, gently wiping away the dried blood and dirt with an alcohol wipe.

“Does it hurt?” You ask, doing the same to her other palm that was a little worse. She shakes her head, her cheeks a little rosy from how gently you’re handling her.

She’s not used to it, even after all this time. It’s addictive, the sweetness of you that leaves her stomach feeling all fluttery.

“No… no it’s fine.” She promises as a small smile adorns her lips, her expression softening.

“Good. Look up for me, love.” You tilt her head upwards gently, your hand cupping the nape of her neck so you can get a better look at the scrape under her chin.

With a soft 'tut' you begin to gently clean the small cut with the last alcohol wipe before pressing a kiss to the underside of her jaw, and you can’t help but smirk at the way her breath hitches ever so slightly.

Katniss looks back at you, an appreciative expression settles against her face. “Thank you.” She whispers.

“Anytime, clumsy pants.” You can’t help it and honestly, Katniss doesn’t mind, despite the huff that escapes her. The sound of your giggle makes it all better, she’d do anything to hear that sound.

“Go get washed up… dinner is almost ready.” You tell her, your lips meeting hers as you both share a loving kiss. It’s soft yet desperate as if she had waited all day just for this.

The kiss tapers off into small pecks, ones that are just as loving. “Okay, I'll be quick...” She whispers breathlessly, her cheeks dusted with a stubble pink colour as she disappears off into the bathroom.

Papas and an Accident Prone Reader (Headcanons)

sfw, gn!reader x papas, fluff/comfort

Primo

Sympathetic and a little cheesy.

“Oh Tesoro, did you injure yourself again? Come let papa kiss it better, si?”

Gives you a herbal salve for bruises that he made himself from his garden.

Gently kisses your injuries before putting bandaids on, claims that it’ll heal faster that way.

Does worry a little about you, and will consciously make adjustments in his life for you. Notices that you bump into that table corner a lot? He’ll figure out a way to round it off or just get rid of the whole table itself if he deems necessary. Trip over a cord? There’s now cable organizers and they’re neatly tapped up so you can’t trip anymore.

Secondo

Usually amused that you manage to bruise yourself so easily.

Seems exasperated about you getting hurt, acts like it’s a pain to have to carry around first aid kid all the time.

Except he always carries a mini first aid kit with him whenever you’re together. You never have to ask him to carry one and he’s never not had one with him before after he started finding out how accident prone you are.

The first time you have an accident that isn’t so minor, however, you find out just how much he cares with how scared he is for your safety. He hovers and won’t stop until he knows you’re okay.

Terzo

Just as accident prone, if not even worse.

You guys giggle over it and the give the ghouls heart attacks.

You honestly trip over each other sometimes.

Occasionally you’ll bang your head and IMMEDIATELY after, Terzo will too.

Everyone thinks you’re both doing a bit or trying to be funny but you’re both just really unfortunate.

You share wild injury-stories with each other. 

Copia

Anxious bean, worried about you 24/7

Each time, no matter how small a injury might be, he gives you full attention on treating your injury.

Worries like a mother hen.

Would wrap you up in bubble wrap if he could.

Much like Primo, will actively make changes to make sure you don’t hurt yourself.

Practically babyproofs the ministry after he finds out accident prone you are.

Belphegor (Seven Deadly Sins) ☁️ (helluva boss headcanons)

author note: these are my personal headcanons one of the seven deadly sins! this one goes out to Belphegor!! I know they do not have a speaking role, if there is more content for her, I will make a revamped version or what not idk really. I just really love Belphegor.

I will do one for each sin

this is sfw (18+)

-------------------------------------------------- ☁️ Belphegor has one of the world's softest furs. She is the number one cuddle bug, willing to cuddle with anyone who wants to. Her wool is like feeling fluffy clouds. You could touch them if you ask nicely! She is willing to help anyone with insomnia. ☁️ Belphegor is a fan of Dreamcore. As it gives her a sense of nostalgia and her dreams. She finds liminal spaces to be oddly comforting, despite how weird it all is. She loves all the surrealism of it all. It is a way she soothes her mind.

☁️ Belpehgor's favorite flower is lavender; not only is it pretty, but due to it is also able to help people sleep better. Lavender overall improves people's moods and sleeping patterns. She would often decorate her home with lavender flowers; when you first enter, you can feel the aroma of lavender. ☁️ Belphegor loves herbal teas and will make all sorts of tea. She would use tea to help people sleep. She loves the taste of the tea, finding it both calming and alluring. Chamomile tea is her favorite kind of tea, and she would make you tea if you asked for it, believing tea to be a good remedy. ☁️ Belphegor sleeps 12 hours a day, due to being the sin of sloth. She has built machines to do all the work for her. She loves her beauty sleep and has a natural ability to sleep anywhere and everywhere. Since she has a long neck, she can fall asleep with her head up and lying her head down; she constantly takes naps. She is a hard worker when needed. ☁️ Belphegor isn’t much of a talker but she is more of a listener. She is very attentive to people's emotions and can understand exactly how they are feeling. She may not say much, but she will do what she can to help you. You could talk to Belphegor about anything and everything. She will apologize if she dozes off in front of you talking.

☁️ Belphegor likes AsMR and will often do AsMR-type content if she has a YouTube channel. She is a very soft-spoken person and can be perceived as quiet.

☁️ Belphegor sees through her multiple eyes. She has a third eye, psychically and mentally. Her third eye in itself is connected to mystical intuition and insight. Her eyes are very sensitive; please do not poke them. She may have some psychic abilities, but either way may be unconfirmed. ☁ Belphegor is responsible for the hospitals and administering medications, which would be happiness pills, sleepy pills, party drugs, etc. Any pills that can cure or help any ailments are responsible for creating first aid kits. Basically, the Ring of Sloth has this type of technology, like the way they would help get insulin for imps, offering affordable programs for those who cannot afford healthcare.

☁️ Belphegor enjoys sipping milk and munching cookies. Her favorite kind of cookies are chocolate chips. She mainly likes to drink milk before sleeping or napping overall. They were her comfort food.

☁️ Her favorite musical artists depend. She prefers Melanie Martinez and Jack Stauber. She particularly enjoys listening to lullabies. Any time that music gives that sleepy or weird vibe, she is an instant fan. Her favorite songs are I’d Rather Sleep by Kero Kero Bonito, Tunnel Vision by Melanie Martinez, and Estranger by Jack Stauber. This girl likes Lemon Demon too.

☁️ Believe it or not, Belphegor’s favorite type of animal is the koala. Not only do they look soft and cuddly, but they are one of the animals with the longest sleep cycles. She really appreciates their small characteristics.

☁️ She is not a big drinker. But one of her favorite cocktails is called Blue Dream. It contains 2 ounces of blue curacao, 2 ounces of coconut rum, and 2 ounces of pina colada non-alcoholic drink mix topped off with whipped cream, but she would drink any cocktail.

☁️ Belphegor likes tarot cards and fortune-telling. She is willing to offer to tell you a fortune or do any tarot card reading of your choosing; this is one of her main niches. And she does it not because she has to but because she wants to.

☁️ Belphegor has a lot of pillows and a whole collection of stuffed animals. Her bedroom is like fluffy clouds. Her bed screams Dreamland. Her bedroom is very pretty. The image below is what I think her bedroom would look like

☁️ Belphegor and Bee have a sibling-type relationship, with Belphegor being the bigger sister and Beelzebub being the little sister to her. As a way to keep Bee from abusing the party drugs and not promote stealing, she wants the best for Bee in any that she can provide.

☁️ Belphegor prefers to remain neutral in situations, avoiding drama and controversy. The same during the court scene: she decided to stay quiet for a very good reason. She sees herself as a mediator and often tries to see both sides of each conversation. ☁️ Belphegor is techy savvy, she is able to work or fix any electronics, understanding its mechanics. Bring her anything that is technology and she would fix it. I like to think she was the one who invented the hell phones for the hellborn.

☁ Belphegor is very domestic; she would often be considered a caretaker of sorts and is exceptionally good with children and is known to both lull babies and children to sleep, letting children or babies snuggle up in her fur as she rocked them to sleep and she would be similar to this to her partner, showing how good of a parent she could be if she wanted to

☁️ Belphegor’s favorite color palette:

☁️ Belphegor’s nickname is Bel and will respond to those who call her nickname basically anyone who considers worthy and is her friend. She also doesn’t mind being called Belphie.

☁️ Belphegor loves the moon and the stars, she would be the one who often stargazes. Nights are absolutely beautiful in the sloth ring. She likes Stolas for his job and showing her love with Astronomy with him.

☁️ Belphegor has a secret flock of sheep, most of her citizens are goats. She is similar to Baphomet when it comes to her design and owning scented candles as she was considerably spiritually connected to candles.

☁️ Belphegor is the sixth strongest sin next to Asmodeus being the seventh strongest sin, it is unknown whether or not she would show off her power or not but she does not consider herself a show off.

☁️ Belphegor's Pokemon team: Jigglypuff, Espeon, Drowzee, Snorlax, Munna and Espurr

Herbalism Conferences - Day 1

Wow, what a strong start to the conferences! I managed to watch all the presentations from yesterday, and they were fantastic.

I'm always grateful for an opportunity to listen to David Winston speak. I started watching some other video interviews with him last week, and he has so much knowledge to share and speaks in a way that makes sense to me. Like many of the other speakers today I just wish he could have talked for longer!

I think my favourite segment today was the presentation by Adriana Ayales from Anima Mundi titled "Roles of Herbs in Dreamspace & Conscious Expansion". As someone with a rich personal spiritual practice, hearing all the ways that plants can partner with us and open our minds (or as she calls it, dilate our awareness) without necessarily resorting to entheogens was so refreshing. She talked about a bit of a trifecta which I found interesting, which was to work with a combination of nervines, bitters, and aromatics when it comes to dreamwork. It's been about a year since I've practiced any dreamwork myself, but this did pique my interest again and it's something I might try to get back into.

My very close second favourite presentation was "Herbalism and Intuition: Working with Plants" by Asia Suler. She's a compelling speaker and you can really feel her deep relationship with the world, and she's very detailed about how she works that relationship. As part of my learning, I have been meditating with each plant and allowing the plants to present themselves to me in addition to what I learn through my mentor, however she also introduced to me the idea of using dreamwork as an additional way to receive messages from the plants which reinforced for me that it's time to bring dreamwork back into my life. I'll have to post more about her presentation at a later time, because there was a lot of great advice and information that I want to go back to.

Today is another full day of presentations, I really hope I'm able to listen to all of them but I have a customer meeting that I'm not looking forward to at my day job that will probably force me to miss at least one. The presentations I'm most excited for today are:

Soul Medicine: Herbs for Complex Trauma with Selima Harleston Lust

Building a Resilient Immune System with Herbs with Tieraona Low Dog

The Science and Craft of Building an Aromatherapy First Aid Kit with Holly Brandenberger

⁎˚ ఎ CG! Avdol hcs ! ໒ ˚⁎

Appearance

Shotson is a glass syringe that’s filled with a pastel green fluid. He wears a white lab coat with small grey buttons and a pocket on the right side that contains two pens; One red, one blue. His limbs are a lighter green, and his body, seen under his lab coat, is the same color of his liquid. He can be seen holding a first aid kit in his artwork. 

Personality

Being a doctor, Shotson cares a lot about the safety and wellbeing of his fellow Toons. Even if it can sometimes come across as being preachy or nosy. No matter the situation, Shotson will do whatever he can to help the sick and injured, even if it’s risky for him. He’s usually prepared to handle a medical situation at any time, living by the idea of “Always be prepared for anything.”

He is also shown to be quite perceptive and keen about the behaviors and feelings of others, as seen in his conversation with Glisten where Shotson was able to explain and suss out the former's insecurities. 

He has a form of a “savior complex”, believing his self worth is tied to being able to help others, even if it comes at his own detriment.

Interacting with Toons

Shotson: “I appreciate all the help you’ve done so far, Cosmo.” Cosmo: “Really? Thanks, doc!” Shotson: “My pleasure, but I just want to let you know you don’t need to do it all the time.” Cosmo: “...Oh. Are you jealous?”  Shotson: “Oh no! Far from it. I’m just worried it’ll tire you out if you do it too much…”

Shotson: “Glisten, I fear there may be a crack on your face. Glisten: “What?!! Where?!” Shotson: “Goodness! Simmer down, this relentless pursuit of perfection to cover up your flaws has left you quite on edge.” Glisten: “...I request a second opinion.”

Pebble: … Pebble: Grr… Shotson: “...You’re still mad about the flu shot I gave you?” Pebble: Bworf. Shotson: “I figured…”

Shrimpo: “WHAT DO YOU WANT, NERD?!” Shotson: “I have reason to believe your hatred stems from trauma you’re unwilling to address…” Shrimpo: “STOP ANALYZING ME!!!”

Teagan: “Care for some herbal tea, doctor?” Shotson: “For me? I feel like I should be asking you that instead…” Teagan: “You’re always looking out for us, yet it seems to be wearing you down…” Shotson: “...Fair point, I could use the antioxidants…” 

Shotson: “Oh! Toodles! I’ve been meaning to ask you if-” Toodles: “No thanks! I’ve already gotten a checkup.” Shotson: “...Toodles, it’s normal for someone your age to be scared of going to-” Toodles: “Nuh uh! I’m not scared!”

Twisted Shotson

“Instead of curing Toons, this Twisted literally makes them sick. Should you come down with a bad case of him, seek out a medicine cabinet post-haste before you succumb to his treacherous plague.”

Rank: Rare

Speed: Below Average (17)

Attention Span: Above Average (3)

Detection Range: Average

Twisted Shotson is a roaming Twisted that roams the halls aimlessly. Upon hitting a player, he will inflict his very own “Infected” status debuff. Toons that are infected have a green bar over their head that fills up over time, to stop the bar from filling completely (which takes 60 seconds), they must head to a medicine cabinet that spawns on the walls of the floor where he spawns in order to cure themselves. If the infected Toon fails to get to a medicine cabinet, they will lose a heart. Thankfully they are immediately cured if they lose a heart.

Trivia

The original concept for a needle toon was going to be for Stitch, but she was changed to a ragdoll. That concept would then be reused and reworked into Shotson.

Shotson’s name was originally going to be “Trypin”, after trypanophobia, the fear of needles. 

Dandy’s quote upon buying Shotson is a reference to Looney Tunes, specifically Bug’s Bunny’s famous catchphrase “Eh, what’s up doc?” 

The name of Shotson’s ability is a reference to Team Fortress 2, as the characters sometimes shout “Medic!” to get their medic’s attention.

Shotson is one of the few Toons whose ability ends with an exclamation mark; some other Toons who also have an exclamation mark in their ability's name include Gigi, Ginger, Tisha, Goob, Ticker, and Pebble

Twisted Shoton still believes he is “helping” the Toons by infecting them. But Ichor has warped his mind to the point he can’t see that he’s actually hurting them.

“Hey, no, keep holding that.” 

“Whoops, uh, my— bad,” Argyle blinks slow, staring at the place where Jonathan’s hand wraps around his own, where that in turn wraps around the meat of his bicep. 

“Just— hold onto that,” Jonathan’s voice, even through the fog in Argyle’s brain, sounds unsteady. Like he’s holding his breath. Or like those days back in school when he’d step out of class without warning just to go peek through the window of where his brother and sister were listening to some lecture or other about To Kill a Mockingbird. 

Unsettled is the word for it, Argyle thinks. He’s never particularly liked it when Jonathan was unsettled, even before he understood just how much reason Jonathan Byers had for being an anxious mess at literally all hours of the day. (It’s a miracle the dude isn’t constantly at the end of his rope, as far as Argyle is concerned, actually.) 

“Hey, you alright, man?” Argyle furrows up his brow, watching specifically the tremble of Jonathan’s hands as he digs through the first aid kit on the floor beside them. 

When did they get on the floor? Was it— Oh, wait, no, he’s been on the floor for a while. He’s as woozy as he is because he’s been on the floor for a while, because it took quite a bit of time to dig the bullet out of his arm and now— now Jon is just— he’s—

“Am I alright? Fuck you, holy shit,” he murmurs under his breath. He’s trying to thread a needle, but his hands are still shaking. His breath is coming too fast. 

Argyle doesn’t like it when he’s like this. He’s put so much time over the years trying to help Jonathan chill out, at first in an herbal medicine sort of way, but more than that too. The kind of stuff that sticks long term, like proving to him that he has a support system now, that he doesn’t have to feel like everything is always on his shoulders to fix anymore, that Argyle’s got him and, yeah, Jonny boy grew up too fast, but maybe they can find a way to offer kindness to the little boy inside of him who had to be the adult long before he so much as took off his training wheels. 

So, Argyle frowns, because Jonathan is stressed and he’s on edge and they’ve worked on this, you know? He doesn’t have to take responsibility for this, because Argyle knew what he was getting into when he stuck around. 

Argyle may not seem it, but he’s observant. He knew what he was getting into when he stayed in Jonathan’s life. 

But none of that ever mattered so much as getting Jonathan.

if you feel like talking OCs i would love to hear more about brighid! the lady knight posts i have seen you tag her in before are *chef's kiss*

Brighid Tanner, my first dnd character! I miss her; it’s been a while since I’ve talked about her or played her. She’s a human Oath of the Ancients paladin (Neutral Good), and she’s a blonde freckled farm girl of average height. She eventually gets some scars on her face and body, but always radiates the warmth and steadiness and joy of the sun.

Once upon a time, there was a farm town called Rachdale near an old forest and the castle of Baron Glivren (think Christopher Lee). In that town, a young girl named Brighid Tanner grew up in a large loving family who were the tanners and leather-workers of the town. She had a fairly normal childhood, except for something that happened when she was six. She wandered too far into the forest, and was lost for the whole afternoon. At dusk, a mysterious fairy gentleman in fine clothes brought her back to her parents, and commissioned a set of intricate and beautifully tooled leather bracers, pauldrons, gorget and greaves of deerskin. He paid a significant amount of gold for it and told the parents to save the money for Brighid, as she would need it later. Her parents assumed that it was for a dowry or for an apprenticeship. The fairy gentleman never returned for the armor, so the family kept it in case he ever came back.

Some years later, there was a really long drought, the herds were failing, and the people were getting angry at the baron for not giving them aid. The baron, instead of working with the people, spending money, lowering taxes, or anything else, decided to make a show of commitment to the old gods of the forest, and to sacrifice a prisoner on Midsummer’s Day and hold a celebration in return for their favor. The people were a little shocked by this, since most of their worship was based around home shrines, herbalism, charms, and other traditions-- they might have animal sacrifice but certainly not human. They decided to go along with it since the prisoner was a cattle thief who was supposed to be executed anyway. As Midsummer came closer and nothing improved, the people seemed to grow more and more hopeless, tired, and vicious, and even became eager for the sacrifice. The day before Midsummer, a now fourteen-year-old Brighid was walking in the woods to get some water when the forest spoke to her, telling her that this sacrifice would be unacceptable, and that she was to go back to the village and stop it.

Brighid promised, but asked why they would listen to her, and the forest promised that if she would use her power to help the forest, it would make her powerful. Brighid agreed, swore the Oath of the Ancients, and became a Paladin of Silvanus. This changed her, Her back split open and her insides became like a mossy log-- she was no longer completely human. The forest showed her where the tomb of a dead king under a barrow was, and told her to take the great-axe as a sign and a weapon. Brighid went back to the town, great-axe in hand and speaking with the voice of the forest, stopped the sacrifice and killed the Baron in the town square instead. She had to leave the town right away of course, but the town was grateful to her and the baron’s son (possibly a vampire, but certainly in thrall to the powers of evil like his father) didn’t pursue her as strongly as he could have, because he was now the new baron. (At some point she’s going to return to set that right and maybe turn into an oak tree once her life of adventuring is over-- who knows!). She had to leave and become an adventurer to search out the answers to save her home and serve her gods, taking little with her but an old suit of chainmail armor and the leather pieces the mysterious gentleman had commissioned, a small leather-workers kit, and the gold pieces that had been set aside for her. Her holy symbol is the face of the Green Man, Silvanus. So that’s how she became an adventurer!

In-game, she has a tendency to make amazing entrances, like killing 2-3 enemies at once on her first rolls in battle (and then immediately falling into a pit trap once right after). Zero stealth though. People tend to underestimate her and think she’s dumb or unsophisticated at first, but being idealistic, physically strong, loving a laugh and a song, and being raised on a farm don’t make her either of those things. Her common sense and cunning carry her pretty well through a lot of situations, but there are also times when she gets in over her head.

On her adventures, she does have a couple of courtly situationships. They’re courtly in the sense that she’s dedicated to a higher power above all else and called to a live of adventure and service to her gods and not going to have a normal relationship because of that, but chastity is certainly not required. The two loves of her life are Riccardo, a shrewd Lord Vetinari type who is willing to throw her at problems in the city and Brighid goes along with it because she determines that he’s the lesser of a few evils, but her steadfastness and nobility ends up influencing him for the better and he starts to have ideals and feelings again. The other is Francisca, the daughter of traders who often came through her town on their travels. They were best friends/almost girlfriends as children, and when Francisca grew up she became a privateer and captain of her own ship. Brighid and she eventually meet again as grown-ups. Brighid totally has a thing for morally-ambiguous dark-haired people who balance her out, but she might be unaware or in denial of that.

Crow Father

Pronouns: He/They

Domains: God of Death, Travel, Fatherhood, Masculine Energy, Wisdom, Respect, Familial Love, Looming Protection, Construction, Communication, Hospitality

Epithets: “Father of Blossoms” would be called that in relation to being the father of Syren (God of the Seasons) or in spring time. They would spend time together during the spring and you can hear their laughter in fields of flowers.

“Man of Men” + “Angel of Death” was called this when talking about him with his wife, Kristen. While Kristen is the afterlife, Crow will guild the souls or the living ones that are close to death. Believed to give them comfort or justice in their last moments.

“Whisper of Crows”, “One of Watcher” + “Soldier of Death” These names were associated with him when he was with Blade and how they would assist soldiers in battle. Either by watching over them while they are unguarded, guilding the souls from battle, helping them gather supplies or guilding civilians to safety.

“Kind feathered Traveller” Would help others find their way if asked for help. He would help make compasses, maps and provide protection for wanderers and refugees. It was also a title used when he was paired with Blade

“Everlasting Resourceful Builder” He helped teach others how to build houses and communities, helping stand tall and strong. Not stopping to help all around with building big shrines and other mythical sites in the mythology. Builders and carpenters often would ask for his blessings when making things.

"Looming Welcome" In many towns and homes, townsfolk would have bird statues or decor around their living areas to both invite travellers and Crowfather's protection in. Guarding against harmful entities and welcoming all that needed or wanted shelter. They believed that shooing away or being outwardly rude to wanderers, strangers or birds was seen as a quick way to get CF's wrath and loss of his divine protection; and depending on how far it went it could cause loss of protection to the whole town.

Symbols/Mobs: Crows, Parrots, bird skulls, black feathers, black vail/cloaks, Short haired and/or black cats

Rules/Guidelines:

Chosen family (ppl who you choose to have in ur life) are what's important

Formality isn't a big thing unless your asking a favour of him (also depends on how close u are as well, the more time you spend with him, the more he will see u as family/protected one)

Respect is given not forced. In all relationships, he will help pick out the ones that can and will be trust worthy but also teach you the signs of it and test your skills.

Myths/Stories: Crow Father was worshipped as an all ever looming protector, believed that all crows were connected to him. He could be summoned quickly, (+ more to add)

Colors: Crow Father would wear items/colors that would remind him of his loved ones and would have a ever changing colorful wardrobe. When he would visit different places/seasons, he would dress for the time there. So he likes any color but his favourite colors are Green (likes darker tones), White, Gold, Black, Pink (Blossom specifically)

Crystals: Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Red jasper,

Incense: Lavender, Rose, Cederwood

Plants/Herbs: Alvo, Daisy, chrysanthemums

Offerings: Any shiny things, Black tea w/sugar, any herbal tea, tea cakes, sweets, arts and craft, crow themed things, items that remind of his loved ones, anything you have made, bones, travel guides,

Devotions:

Vailing in honour of him,

Learn about children and advocation for them
