Alright bestie, buckle the fuck in cause I got some Martian Stan AU stuff we need to figure out.

(Also your latest writing piece is just??? Impeccable. Imagine me gripping the sides of my screen like a crazed circus monkey, its so good)

Here's the problem with the Martian Stan Au.

How the hell is Stan supposed to survive on the other end of the portal,

WITHOUT. This Au being a reverse portal Au

We all know how those go, Stan starts dimension hopping and surviving that way, like a crazy space pirate.

But if this is to STAY a Martian Au, that means Stan needs to retain some Mark Watney type traits. Mainly, Staying in one space, making notes (or in this case, audio logs) about his experiences, and making the nightmare realm fear his botany powers.

Now why the hell would Stanley Pines, a grifter conman extraordinaire know anything about Botany, or growing anything?

This is where I need you to hear me out.

What was a popular, elicit and illegal crop, grown both in the United states and in South America in the 1970s? What could Stan have been growing that gave him experience with botany and crop growing in general?

I am suggesting the idea, that Stan grew weed, and THAT is why he can survive via botany powers in the nightmare realm.

I've been staring at my ceiling unblinking for an hour trying to figure out a different way Stan could have all of the knowledge necessary to create, harvast, and maintain a large scale crop production site for. However long until Ford can get the portal up and running

(In the book The Martian i think Watney was on Mars for like? A little over a year?)

PLEASE tell me if you have any other ideas other than Stan being a weed farmer as a part of his criminal past. I don't know how else to give him knowledge about growing things that fit in his character

Peace and love! <3

After thinking about it for a good couple minutes, honestly i think you’re right. Stan could definitely have been involved in something of that nature for a while. to be fair though, he also probably picked up a lot of random skills on the road (not enough to grow a whole farm with alien crops, but enough for a base, maybe) (between odd jobs, like weed farm and maybe even regular farm for a while, and the couple of Stansco products that were farm related (thinking about the pitchforks) he’d have a decent-ish base to start)

i’m ngl, i’d been thinking about it in a slightly different direction though! I love playing with the effects of the Nightmare Realm on human beings (I actually came up with a whole au where Ford was stuck in the Nightmare Realm for several years and developed static powers as a defense mechanism) (oh my gosh no i’m not gonna rant about that right now we’ll be here all day) (i should make a separate post at some point though, now that i think about it) (Nightmare!Ford from the Came Back Wrong au my beloved) (he’s got so many problems)

ahem. i got off topic. anyway! I kind of figured that, since time is probably incredibly odd in a realm that is literally falling apart at the seams, maybe Stan’s bodily systems also work differently, at a different pace or something along those lines.

(it’d also let there be a scene post-rescue where Ford is obsessively doing medics tests on Stan and finds out he’s like. months younger than he should be, even though it felt like time passed ‘the same’ for them) (like real life astronauts). So he wouldn’t have to eat that often! So then, he could stretch out the perishables he finds at the refugee camp for longer, and then he has more time to figure things out farming!

Listen, the Farmer's Almanac is a GOLD MINE, ok? I wish more witches would use it.

It's an underestimated resource, that's for sure. More people should pick it up and at least flip through it. It's good for a whole year.

And hey, you could probably find a copy online for the current year if you're nowhere near a farm and home store.

I just realized... I think our ten-plagues-level of grasshoppers are finally dying out or migrating or whatever happens when grasshoppers are out of season...

Like when I say it was biblical, I felt like I was in Egypt myself 😭😭😭

The Old Farmer's Almanac for Kids, Vol. 1

[oneknightstand-if]

I love/hate the amount of your references I understood. Even the “moon is beautiful” one, but I didn’t expect the game to basically call me out on being a giant nerd right after, when it didnt do so even after I already talked to Adrian about doctor who for 45 minutes lmaooooooo

That mostly happened since Adrian doesn't get all the anime/Japanese culture references, meanwhile he was totally geeking out with the MC over Dr. Who for 45 minutes.

Maybe the secret to having something to show for a fandom holiday is to start it ten months in advance.

Almanac Farmer's Reserve Plum (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 4 of 4. I may have had this about a decade ago out of a bottle in the Bay Area, but this recipe feels different (or my palate has changed!). Smells of plums and dark fruit as you'd expect in the nose with quite a bit of oak and acid as well. The body is much the same and I don't get much vanilla at all, but this is quite enjoyable and tart, and would help cut through some food quite nicely.

Burying the dead isn't as simple as just placing our loved ones in the ground, it's also maintaining their resting place, including their headstones. I found this article that teaches you how to safely

The article mentions it at the end but it's worth repeating; if this is something you're interested in doing and you want to clean stones that don't belong to your family, please remember to ask permission before doing so. Helping out others is what we do as mercy workers, but there's a right way and a wrong way to do it

"The full moon that follows the Harvest Moon is always called the Hunter's Moon! This is the time when game is fattening up for winter and provisions are needed for the long, cold months ahead. This moon has also been called the Falling Leaves Moon by the Anishinaabe."

Full Moons of 2024. 🌚

The origin of the monikers dates back to 1930s when Maine Farmers' Almanac began publishing "Indian" names for full Moons.
