#THE ROOTROT

[salmonid-svckerpvnch]

hi today I’m posting some more sketchy art, but it’s information on a sentient strand of fuzzy ooze called the Rootrot! :3

My commissions are open!

It breaks my heart how many chicks Sunday has lost recently because of the root rot, but she's still kicking. She's down to just these four, but they are strong. I completely changed her soil today so hopefully she'll take to it and be okay. I believe in her! #sundayandchicks #henandchicks #succulents #succulentplants #plants #plantlife #progress #rootrot

If you want to understand Aspen Greaves, imagine someone who really loves gothic literature being stuck in a social circle with like two steampunks, so whenever they try to talk about Frankenstein or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde everyone's like "Oh, cool, so you're steampunk too?" and they have to go "NO MARY SHELLY ISN'T ROTTING STEAMPUNK SHUT YOUR ROOTROTTING MOUTH"

An Overview of Plants: Cinquefoil

Name: Cinquefoil (Potentilla genus, many varieties)

Description: Often, it has yellow flowers, though some are white with a yellow center, or pink. It always has five heart-shaped petals, with the spaces between looking like a star. It has leaves with spiked edges, and the leaves grow in clusters of five that look like a star as well. Easily mistaken for a strawberry plant.

Cultivation: It is a warm-weather plant that grows best from late spring through fall. It prefers partial to full sun, and can up to grow anywhere between two and four feet. When planting it, plant in the cooler part of spring, with the root balls about six inches deep and three to six feet apart depending on the grown size of the variety. Tolerant to many kinds of soil, as long as it drains well. Yellow leaves are a sign the soil is iron deficient, and are something to look out for. When watering, keep evenly moist during the first growing season - after that they are rather drought resistant. Too much shade, waterlogged soil, and high humidity may lead to fungal diseases or rootrot.

Harvest: The best way to harvest the plant is by pulling the whole thing in June/early summer. Dry it in a shady place. Though, if the stems or wood are needed you can use the trimmings from prunings - prune by cutting back the stems to the wood in early spring before leaves grow, cutting back only a third of the plant at maximum.

Folklore: In Europe, cinquefoil was used for prosperity and love workings, and sometimes as a form of spiritual or magical protection. In some parts of Europe, it has been tied strongly to witchcraft - believed to offer protection against it and as an ingredient in the infamous ‘flying ointment’ used by witches. Romans also believed it had ties to the god Mercury, and would use it in devotional incense.

Magical Properties: Used primarily in luck, love, prosperity, and non-material protection workings. Worn as a talisman, it is said to warn off malicious spirits. Also known for its connection to fae magic, and for its uses when communing with them.

Medicinal Properties: Mainly used to treat mild inflammation, so it has been used for sore throats, inflammation-based fevers, and menstrual cramping mainly. But there is some evidence it can also be used for diarrhea and certain skin conditions.

Recommended Amount: There is no known recommended amount, so be mindful when using, and consult a doctor and/or pharmacist before using regularly. When making tea, one tablespoon is generally enough.

Warnings: Not enough about its interactions are known, so avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding to be safe, and consult a doctor and/or pharmacist for interactions with other medications.

@lost-in-elfhame-heather there may be an infinite number of universes out there but theres still not a single one where you dont smell like an indoor plant with rootrot

You'd think considering my user is rootrot and also my incessant love of plants that I was a Sylvari nerd from the get go but actually when I first started playing GW2 I said that I was Not gonna play the plant elves (IMO elf races in any media are typically overrated) except then they had to give them The Horrors so now I have issues and am abnormal about them.

i have a short plants update for today.

first up is garlic who continues to worry me :(. the new growth i was so excited about is starting to turn black—not all of it, but a few! so that’s a not a good sign. just in case, i removed the larger dying leaves and did some other pruning (mostly of those trapless leaves) and filled her cup up with rain rather than tap water. there’s not super much i can do at this point? the next step would be check the roots for rootrot and then give less water but that’s pretty drastic and if there’s not any root problems could just damage and shock the plant. so we’re gonna see if this helps first!

next updates for both pitchers and pretty uneventful. the sunburn on the sarracenia is progressing which isn’t that surprising—it can take some time to show up fully and i don’t doubt it’s increased despite the less intense light because it was pretty light starved in the nursery where i got it. as i explained before, the older leaves which are adapted to this low light will die off and be replaced with new leaves adapted to the brighter light. this light is definitely way better for the plant than what it was getting before so i’m pretty confident despite the damage that it’ll bounce back. what’s interesting is as you can see the damage is turning the plant red. it’s really interesting looking! this is part of why i’m so confident: they develop color with better lighting, so seeing color come in, even with damage, is a good sign. you can see it most clearly on the younger leaves, which have turned almost totally red, but what’s really exciting is that the newest of the new growth right in the center is totally red.

so that’s nice. last is a color update on the nepenthes, which is developing just a liiiiiitle bit of red on the edges of the traps and on the little spikes things which i’m sure have a name i don’t know. you can also see it on the nodes of the stem where it’s very deep and rich. so pretty!

cannot believe the nepenthes is the one doing the best of all three i was so (knock on wood) worried about damaging it! i guess we’ll see where things head from here but im optimistic for full recovery (knock on wood again) for each of these.

#i know dante didn't have the odyssey to go by but seeing my man in the 8th circle of hell was like [jenny slate nasa scream] #whenever i think about it i imagine him leaving ithaca and penelope for that final journey #a stranger if only to himself. rootrot consuming the marriage bed.fugitive resentment. dying at home in a shipwreck on the edge of the world (via @deadpanwalking)

i really love that line οὐ μὲν γάρ τοι ἔτ᾽ ἄλλος ἐλεύσεται ἐνθάδ᾽ Ὀδυσσεύς, "no other odysseus will ever come to you," because he's saying not that he is the true odysseus but that there is no truer odysseus alive on the earth. he doesn't say, 'i am the real odysseus.' he says, 'i'm the realest odysseus you're going to get.'

I think I need to take a break watering like all of my plants 😭 I accidentally gave my poor Sunday root rot and had to pluck out a bunch of her hens. I think it was a small blessing so this way she's not as crowded as before though #sundayandchicks #succulents #henandchicks #plantlife #plants #rootrot #progress #swipe

I was thinking about this post in the shower and I've decided you are 100% correct but hylara has some weird quirk about it and the antarcticans are all dead and their base is deserted. we mirror aspen's original Wtf Walk through the courageous as the crew try to figure out just what in the rootrotting hell happened inside this hab dome. fortunately, Aspen Fucking Greaves saves the day through arboreal knowledge and/or citrus allergy. and now they have twice as many resources, hooray! they wake up dor delphin and kick him in the balls, the end.

TtO:U Theory:

The Corageous was slowed so the Antarcticans could send a faster ship to Hylara ahead of it.

They're expecting Amy and an army of slave laborers to arrive after they've set up.

They're gonna be pissed about Amy
