Plant of the Day

Tuesday 30 July 2024

An annual or short-lived perennial Tripleurospermum inodorum (scentless mayweed, scentless chamomile, Baldr's brow, Mary's herb) has branching stems and finely-divided, thread-like foliage with daisy-like flowerheads. This plant is native to Eurasia and North Africa, and introduced to North America where it is considered an invasive weed.

WELCOME TO STRANGEVIEW

oh hey its budgieflitter and her swap aus obsession again descriptions are under the cut 🔽

CALIENTE + LOTHARIO = BEAKER When Don got a date with the Caliente sisters, he thought he won a jackpot. What he did not expect, though, was to wake up next morning on an operation table in their basement. Will this test subject last or the sisters will have to look for a replacement soon?

GOTH = SPECTER Turns out not only relatives are buried in local oligarch's graveyard. Ever since Mortimer's wife Bella mysteriously disappeared, he became more reclusive than he already was. She was not the only victim - all of his daughter Cassandra's fiancés seemed to disappear one by one. Will Alexander get used to living with ghosts? Can Cassandra ever find love again?

BROKE + DREAMER = GRUNT Brandi and Darren found comfort in each other after a terrible tragedy struck their families, however it seems this comfort is about to crumble. Darren is determined to reach the stars someday, and Brandi would rather stay close to the ground. Will Dustin and Dirk ever get along? Will little Beau follow his stepfather's footsteps?

PLEASANT = SMITH

Daniel has been fascinated with space ever since his father's Mars expedition hit the news. Good thing he found a woman whose eyes reflect the beauty of the universe itself. Will Mary-Sue get her long-awaited promotion, and can Angela and Lilith make the right choices when it comes to love?

BURB = CURIOUS Jennifer is interested in the vastness of universe, but for a different reason her brother is. Where is she from? What really happened on her father's Mars expedition? Was it anything like the experience her husband went through during his abduction? Maybe the answer is much closer than she thinks.

OLDIE

Oldies have been a long-time residents of Strangeview. Unable to fulfill her role as a Birth Queen, Coral escaped with her beloved with a tiny alien aboard. Will Herb realize that the result of his last mission as a Pollination Technician is somewhere nearby? okayyyy i had so much fun making this. the idea hit me literally yesteday and i was on the rideee hope u enjoy ^_^

BHOC: ORIGINS OF MARVEL COMICS

Christmas 1978 was a huge comic book windfall for me. Whereas in years past I had filled my wish list with an assortment of toys, starting here, I would instead begin asking for books on comics. ORIGINS OF MARVEL COMICS had eluded me for months, so much so that I eventually got to read the story I was most interested in from it, FANTASTIC FOUR #1, in the Marvel Pocket Books line. BHOC: FANTASTIC…

Plant of the Day

Wednesday 14 August 2024

On a recent walk I found this double flowered Tripleurospermum inodorum (scentless mayweed, scentless chamomile, Baldr's brow, Mary's herb). This annual or short-lived perennial wildflower normally has a single row of ray petals.

The Oldies in TS1

This post from MtS portrayed the Oldies as hippies and you know what, I am inclined to agree. Here is my take on the Oldies in the TS1 timeline.

Herb and Coral being hippies and Myron and Irma being laid-back, wacky grandparents really tickles me somehow, cause Mary-Sue and Daniel become yuppies later, and though she was raised in a free-spirited household, she was always prim and proper and was always destined to be the cold, stiff career woman in the future.

Anyway, I always pictured Herb as a door-to-door salesman (he was described as crafty, so idk, maybe toys?) who gardens and Coral as one of those liberal moms who are passionate for local causes. I like @emperorofthedark's version of her as a librarian, and I see her as having study groups like Laura Dern in Palm Royale.

Myron was a retired, environmentally-conscious cameraman who spent his working years in Studio Town while Irma was a retired, superstitious secretary at a traveling agency.

Bruno Ruggbyrne is Coral's father who raised her single-handedly while working as a doctor cause his wife Mamie left them when Coral was young to join a cult (the Kine Society). He's a sweetheart but is probably the least wacky member of the family and so Mary-Sue takes quite a liking to him, much like how Lilith was close to Herb in @emperorofthedark's story.
