When Moonshine meets PawPaw for the first time, MeeMaw says, “I swear Moonshine. There’s something about you. Things that don’t belong just find a way of belonging when you’re around.”

MeeMaw’s talking about PawPaw but it’s also true of Hardwon. Especially Hardwon. But Moonshine gives a home to and makes room for every one of her friends. She guides Bev when he’s lost. She welcomes Mavrus and loves Apple. She scoops Tonathan and figuratively never lets him go. She saves Deadeye’s soul. She rehabilitates the dark lord of Shadowfell. She forms a relationship with her father and reunites the Elves. She told Thiala that “You can be quick with kindness,” and she wasn’t wrong. She has lived that philosophy. Hospitality isn’t politeness and etiquette. It’s connection. That’s how she creates bonds between her and people very different from herself. That’s what it means to be quick with kindness. That’s the way of The Crick.

Tree To Human Communication

Today i was down at the creek and I was walking when suddenly I smelt a whiff of a familiar smell: The Pawpaw Smell

I was like, ????? I checked these trees weeks ago, and there wasn't anything on them except one (1) undersized fruit.

But I sniffed the air and cautiously walked forward until I smelled a STRONG whiff of the Pawpaw Smell, and I turned exactly perpendicular to where I was walking and my eyes met it immediately: A pawpaw tree

So I pushed my way into the bushes and this tree had fruit all over it! Clusters of BIG fruit! I was like What The Hell?

Thing is, pawpaws are basically the same color as the leaves and the leaves are huge and hang down a bit, meaning they're basically very hard to spot with your eyes.

But ripe pawpaws have a fragrance that hits you very abruptly and when you simply...sniff your way towards it, you will unerringly be led straight to a tree full of ripe fruit in a matter of seconds.

It is so direct! I thought, "This tree is COMMUNICATING with me!"

It's just as if you were walking in the woods and a tree suddenly says to you, "Hey, mammalian beast there! You, yes, YOU, punk! Fruit's ripe! You wanna spread my seeds sooooo bad! Limited time only offer!"

the two ends of the dm spectrum are brian murph murphy (emily jokes that pawpaw takes the dagger for gemma and he stands up and shouts EMILY AXFORD HOW DARE YOU) and brennan lee mulligan (zac pets ox on the middle of the fight and brennan stands up, makes eye contact with the camera and goes I'm gonna kill that dog)

Naddpod role swap AU - Meeting MeeMaw

This gal seems familiar, wonder why...🤔

[hyydraworks]

Wanted to try some opossum friends.

[furbishartificer]

Meet PawPurby, the possum Furby! He’s based off of the iconic plot-armored possum pet/attorney at law, PawPaw Gump, from Not Another DnD Podcast.

The pepto pink of his hands/tail/nose are intended to be a nod at his fantasy leanings. He features fully possible tail, 4 freaky little hands, and a sculpted “beak.”

My furby commissions are currently open for a limited time only! DM me for details ;)

Pawpaw trees! I went down a little used trail and found some even bigger pawpaw groves. Pawpaws grow in clonal colonies, so the slender trunks in the third pic are most likely all the same pawpaw tree (like Pando, but on a smaller scale).

They need shade to sprout, but they flower and make fruit only when the sunbeams can touch them! They often form splendid little groves in areas where a large tree was cut down or felled in a storm.

Pawpaws are an example of a tree that thrives best with human caretakers. When the canopy closes up and the forest floor becomes dark and shady, the pawpaw trees no longer flower and make fruit. Cutting an occasional tree and/or managing the forest as a more open woodland creates good conditions for lots of pawpaw.

Which makes good conditions for other life! The pawpaw groves were filled with frolicking zebra swallowtail butterflies.

The zebra swallowtail butterfly's caterpillars can only eat the leaves of the pawpaw, much like monarch caterpillars need milkweed! There were many of them flying around in the sunlight.

...i tried, okay

There were loads of wasps, but they didn't bother me at all, they were too busy with their wasp business. The flies were numerous too—which makes sense; pawpaws need flies to pollinate their flowers! I saw tons of electric green tiger beetles and big tiger swallowtail butterflies. I hope the big beasts like elk and bison will be able to return soon...
