WE HAVE COME FOR YOUR NECTAR RAMONA

[mvjerbs]

NEW GOLDENHEART CHILD! have been planning to add him but didn't have a slightest idea on what type of person he should be.

When @long-distance-muse shared her idea to me, it all started to come together.

Meet Nectar Goldenheart

The youngest sibling who loves wreak havoc with Nimona, chill and tease his sister Grethyl, making sure his parents knows he loves them, playing jazz (much to Ballister's dismay) and most importantly, admiring his crush, Kyno Shieldblade. A fan child made by @goldenheart-supremacy between Todd and Aerin. Good stuff I tell you good stuff.

Some facts about him:

Nectar loves bees, to the point that his aesthetic is bees.

Nectar plays the trombone.

Has bad eyesight like Ballister but prefers to wear contacts instead, thus the yellow eyes.

Can speak Korean and Urdu but prefers to speak Urdu while Grethyl likes to speak Korean more

Both will rant in their favorite languages.

Absolute simp for Kyno.

There were more but I forgot what they were, so have this for now :)).

Big fan of apple twins drinking nectar, like yes bitch make this motherfuckers more whimsical. We don't have enough content of them being more connected to nature

Yeah i see designs of them as trees and stuff, which is AWESOME might i add. But i don't really see stuff of them "normal" but still more connected to nature?

For example, my apple twins straight up can do photosynthesis. If they're in the sun long enough they don't have much need for sleep because they get energy from the sun

Anyways back to the nectar thing, i think it would be cool if it needed to be specifically from a certain flower? (Stares at flabebe, seriously yall start making more pokemon based headcanons)

I think if they wouldn't be able to get the nectar then they'd go for either golden flower or echo flower tea.

Anyways, let the boys drink nectar !!!!

Little things are what really matter

Little things are what really matter. 

What are little things?

Simple sweet gestures like waiting for you while you're tying your shoelaces, pulling the door, if you're slow then waiting for you, making you understand things without you feeling dumb, holding the umbrella for you, giving up the last bite of ice cream, being patient with you, sending you sky pictures because you love them, being silly together, reminding you that you matter, celebrating your tiny wins, and being there with you when you feel lost. Little things can make or break bonds, so next time don't hesitate to go the extra mile for the ones that matter and are close to your heart.

Who lays the nectar eggs found in the Pikmin games? It might seem like a silly question, but for a series with such extensive lore surrounding its creatures it is surprising that it remains a mystery. Nectar eggs are a mysterious item found in Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3 and Pikmin 4. The eggs themselves are rarely acknowledged by the leaders and can contain a wide array of different things.

When broken, nectar eggs usually release a form of nectar or raw material. Curiously, there are also several creatures associated with these eggs, but it’s never been explicitly stated which actually produces them. Let’s look at the candidates:

Firstly, there are the Honeywisps. Honeywisps sometimes carry nectar eggs as they float through the air back to their nests. However, they don’t seem to be producing these eggs themselves, as in Pikmin 1 they can be seen carrying pure nectar collected from flowers.

Given they intend to feed the nectar from the nectar eggs they carry to their young, it seems more likely that they sometimes just steal nectar eggs from their nests of origin instead of collecting nectar from flowers.

“This timid creature flies around collecting nectar from flowers.”

“This creature collects nectar for the larvae waiting in its nest.”

“This cutie swims though the air with a heavy-looking nectar egg dangling below its translucent body on its way back to its nest where its offspring await lunch.”

[Source: Dalmo, Sozorian Animal Enthusiast and researcher, Non-Player Character in Pikmin 4, July 2023]

The next creatures are the Mitites. Mities are a type of insect that occasionally hatch from broken nectar eggs in great numbers and produce nectar when defeated, which initially makes them seem like good candidates for the producers of these eggs. However, the nectar eggs notably don’t resemble insect eggs - and for good reason! The Mitites are actually parasites that lay their eggs within the eggs of a “particular species”, with their larvae feeding on the nectar the eggs provide.

“These parasitic insects feed on eggs. Upon reaching maturity, they excrete a special pheromone that attracts females of particular species, enticing these females to swallow the mitites whole. (Pikmin, however, seem to dislike the scent.) After entering the host female's body, the mitites lay their own eggs inside the host's eggs just prior to the host spawning.”

[Source: Captain Olimar, Employee of Hocotate Freight and Captain of the S.S. Dolphin, Playable Character in Pikmin 2, August 2004]

“The cheeky Mitite lays its eggs inside the eggs of other creatures to provide its offspring with an easy first meal.”

[Source: Dalmo, Sozorian Animal Enthusiast and researcher, Non-Player Character in Pikmin 4, July 2023]

Similarly, the egg-like Sunsquishes can also be found within nectar eggs. These are explicitly “other creatures’ eggs”, making them a species that parasitises on the eggs like the Mitites.

“A type of primitive organism called a protochordate. In its juvenile state, it has a skeleton-like structure called a notochord. It flaps its finned tail to move and lives within other creatures' eggs as it grows.”

[Source: Captain Olimar, Employee of Hocotate Freight and Captain of the S.S. Dolphin, Playable Character in Pikmin 4, July 2023]

That leaves us with the Burrowing Snagrets. In Pikmin 4, Downy Snagrets, the infant form of the Burrowing Snagret, occasionally hatch from nectar eggs. These seem to be the most likely candidates for the actual producers of nectar eggs.

As established in a previous post, almost all extant life on PNF-404 is made up of nectar, which would extend to the nutrients in the egg yolk.

“Nectar is a vital source of nutrition that most life on this planet depends on. Whether it's in the form of an egg yolk, sap, or honey, I leave up to your imagination!”

[Source: Dalmo, Sozorian Animal Enthusiast and researcher, Non-Player Character in Pikmin 4, July 2023]

Nectar eggs also strongly resemble bird eggs and Burrowing Snagrets are certainly large enough to produce them. They’re also large enough to swallow Mitites whole and are even said to eat insects in the Piklopedia.

“The majority of snagret species lie in wait to ambush and capture prey, with a body type perfectly adapted to such sudden strikes. It violently attacks small, surface-dwelling insects.”

[Source: Captain Olimar, Employee of Hocotate Freight and Captain of the S.S. Dolphin, Playable Character in Pikmin 2, August 2004]

What’s more is that Snagret has the widest distribution of a species after the Bulborb, which explains why nectar eggs can be found all over the world across the Pikmin games.

“Distributed across a relatively wide range, subspecies of snagret suited to the varying soil conditions have emerged, making the snagret the most geographically represented species besides the bulborb.”

[Source: Captain Olimar, Employee of Hocotate Freight and Captain of the S.S. Dolphin, Playable Character in Pikmin 2, August 2004]

So in short, female Burrowing Snagrets lay their eggs. Those that are fertilised will produce Downy Snagrets, while unfertilised eggs will produce nectar. Sometimes, a female Burrowing Snagret will eat a Mitite, resulting in Mitite larvae hatching within and feeding on the eggs laid by the Burrowing Snagret. The larval Sunsquish also finds its way into these eggs, while Honeywisps occasionally steal the eggs to feed the nectar within then to their own larvae.
