when they finally leave the planet and burn it all down tim has to be restrained bc screaming and trying to go back to save it and also is in A Lot of pain as theyre removing it all from him bc its so in there that just killing him doesnt work to get rid of it.

uhhummmm plant gore persephone tim
#how have i not seen this post?#i would like to know what kinds of plants you are imagining#these plants would be parasitic and therefore not need sunlight but it seemed to me you were implying tim was drawn back to that place for-#other reasons than sunlight. plants that dont use sunlight tend to be white. however there is also a difference between obligate parasites-#and facultative parasites. the fact that him dying does not kill the plants implies them to be facultative. and thus they would feed on his-#body if he was normal and didnt revive.#mmmmmmmm wanna read about parasitic plants now.#PERFECT POST. its got my botany brain running. its based on my long beloved persephone. its about gpt (and ashes). and it has horrible pain.#also immediately thought of achilles idea of tim always finding his face foreign (? WORDS) re: him seeing the plants around his eyes and-#not even realizing they were there.#anyway. sorry for being a creep and scrolling so far back in your posts. i was looking for something. not this. but this is WAY better#(creep part is /hj)#the mechanisms#gunpowder tim#persephone tim#tim + ashes#very much enjoy ashes’ ‘huh. looks good on you though’#this isnt going in the queue i need to consider these plants now.#its kinda sorta speculative biology too. yeah. checks so many boxes for me great post op#oh yeah and gore too. love this kinda gore (meaningful). forgot that this counts as gore (not blood + guts).#***edit: it is now thought that all plants previously believed to feed on dead material (saprophytes) are actually parasites of fungi or-#other plants. that being said *lots* of fungi are saprotrophic (get energy from dead organic matter)
