the harveston sledathon event: jade leech's "incantation"

i'm not sure if everyone has gotten to this part in the new english server event yet, but this part when they were at the market got me curious. so, in typical me fashion, i committed a day of research to figure out what the hell jade was talking about.

first i would like to say that this was put together with A DAYS WORTH OF RESEARCH so if you know more about these plants/mushrooms and would like to add information or correct me please do so in the replies!! i'm not an expert by any means LMAO

with that said, onto the first plant!! i will list the scientific name that jade uses first and then the common name in parentheses. each plant/mushroom will have a picture after the short description for reference!!

i got all these images from google obv

~~~~~

Urtica dioica (Stinging Nettle) - A perennial herb that grows best in moist areas. Grows in late fall to early spring. Fall sun, partial shade. Used as an herbal remedy for sore muscles and seasonal allergies.

Aegopodium podagraria (Ground Elder) - Marked as an invasive species in some of the eastern states of the US (Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, Vermont, Michigan, and Wiscousin.) Thrives in moist soil and grows during the summer. It’s commonly used in soup and as a remedy for gouts.

Polypodiopsida (Ferns!!!) - Thrives in moist soil and grows near rivers and creeks. Grows in shady locations in early spring. They reproduce with spores. Fiddlehead ferns are the curled up fronds of a young fern that can be cooked and eaten in various ways (steamed, fried & stored, roasted, pickled, etc.) They can also be used as fertilizer and for landscaping.

Chamaenerion angustifolium (Fireweed) - A perennial herb that flowers in June to September. Grows in full sun to partial shade and moist, well drained soil. Its primary use is medicine but it’s also used in tea, which in turn can be used to treat migraines, infections, and colds. Young fireweed shoots can be cooked and eaten (apparently, they taste like asparagus and should be cooked like them, too.)

Allium ursinum (Wild Garlic or Cowleek) - Thrives in slightly acidic soil & moist conditions. Prefers shady conditions and grows around winter to spring, with a peak season of February to April. You can eat basically the whole plant, but if you eat the bulb the plant obviously won’t grow back. It’s been used as a medical plant and in cooking.

Sorbus (Mountain Ash or Rowan) - A bush that produces edible berries in late summer into early fall, and they stay on the tree into winter. The berries should not be eaten raw, but should be cooked because they contain parasorbic acid. The cooking process converts the parasorbic acid into a preservative sorbic acid. Their astringent taste is made sweeter by the frost. They grow best in full sun to partial shade and moist, well drained soil. They usually grow up to 15 meters tall.

Plantago major (Broadleaf Plantain) - A perennial herb that grows in late spring to summer (and sometimes in autumn.) They prefer moist soil but are very adaptable. Grows in moderate shade to full sun. The entire plant is edible, but apparently the flower shoots are especially delicious. They naturally grow in very dense populations and are easy to harvest. Works as a medicinal herb to treat inflammation and boost the immune system.

Equisetum arvense (Field horsetail) - Another perennial herb that grows from summer to the first frost. Grows in moist soil with full to partial sun. Can be used in tea and benefits the urinary system. Their root systems can grow as deep as six feet.

Craterellus tubaeformis (Winter mushroom, or funnel chanterelle) - Our first mushroom!! They are featured in a lot of recipes and are fairly common. They’re ready to harvest in mid-winter to mid-spring. They can be found in mossy areas with well decayed wood, and grow in loose clusters. They apparently have an earthy/fruity taste, and should be cooked so they don’t taste unbearably peppery.

Boletus edulis (Penny Bun) - Another mushroom with a dark brown cap. Spores grow more mushrooms in summer and autumn. Thrives in moist soil and can be harvested a few days after summer rain. They’re around 25cm tall on average and can weigh a kilo (which made me yell out loud, mind you. That's a big mushroom!!) They have a slightly nutty flavor.

Craterellus lutescens (Yellow Foot) - The last item on this list is another mushroom. It thrives in moist soil and they grow from 2-7 cm in length. They apparently have a peppery flavor when raw, but taste earthy when cooked. They typically grow around moss in loose clusters. They’re pretty similar to the craterellus tubaeformis, as one would expect from their shared genus, “craterellus.”

~~~~~

Overall Plant Conditions (AKA patterns I noticed while researching):

Practically all of these plants love moist & well drained soil. A lot of these plants grow in the summertime and like full/partial sun, but there’s a few exceptions of course. There’s a lot of herbs and perennial greenery that have medicinal properties. Many plants on this list grow well in disturbed soil or near water and roadways. All of them are edible (but beware of dangerous lookalikes!)

anyways < jade leech 3 i hope you found this somewhat interesting because i sure did!! (which is why i spent all my free time today researching it sigh the things i do for mermen)

OC Aesthetics for the Entities (Magnus Archives)

I'm not sure how much new Spooky Month content I'll be doing this year, I'm pretty tapped out at the moment, but I have had this for a while (created by @sagamemes) and it's pretty spooky, so I figured I'd do it for the start of the spooky season \o/

Deputy Morgan Malone (FC5 OC)

i.  THE BURIED.          weighted blankets.   drowning.   the comfort of a loved one’s weight. soil & sand piling on top of you. hugging so hard it hurts a little. cramped hiding spots.   letting out air underwater to sink to the bottom of the pool.   walls pressing in on you. not moving from a position even though you’re cramping a little.   dragging the last second before you have to inhale.   lonely subways.   feeling like one with the earth.   a layer of dirt on you.   looking for something below.  cardboard boxes & tiny pillow forts.   hands calloused from digging.  knowing that your purpose is just below the surface. entering your final resting place before it kills you.   a storm drowning you out.  dust & sand speaking to you.

ii.  THE CORRUPTION.          insects.  a close imitation of the natural course of life. an illness in a community. a rag that dirties more than it cleans.   an untreated wound.  containment.   breaching containment.   unbreathable air.   fungi.   one with that you love.   one with what loves you.   a corpse unfit for a glass case.  hearing a song in the sound of tiny wings & legs.  honeycomb patterns.   an ecosystem within a person.  a curse passed on.  the hubris of a scientist.  an ugly death where a glorious one is owed. blood on a handkerchief.  parasites.  something pushing up the sewer.  a mask to keep something out.   trypophobia.  knowing you belong.  death weeks after impact.  fever. food that’s gone off.   pandora’s box.   death behind a glass.

iii.  THE DARK. shadows. lights that turn off by themselves.   the feel of cold marble.   a beaked creature in the night. the difference between seeing darkness & seeing nothing. touch of something you can’t see.  hiding under a blanket.  white,  clouded eyes. months without going outside during sunlight. pouring dark. unscrewing lightbulbs. black matter. light sensitivity. a starless night.  time before light was created.   a shadow on the wall without a body to attach to.  withering plants.  a world without a sun. ��footfalls in an empty house in the night.  a light that doesn’t reach as far as it should.  desperate reach for a flashlight.  clothes that hide your shape.   staying unperceivable.   winter months in the north.   an empty church.

iv.  THE DESOLATION. senseless pain.  warmth of faith. wax where skin should be.   a blazing fire.   heat without a source.   the third or fourth tragedy in the family. losing everything you’ve ever held dear. so much to live for,  gone so soon.  the smell of gasoline.   touch that scars. coffee cup that never goes cold. scorch marks on wood.  inescapably warm air.  a child born in fire.  death of a loved one.  a candle without a flame.  an altar in the middle of the woods.  animals with burnt fur.   plastic explosives. burning hot metal.  sweating in an interrogation room.  never touching a loved one. disfigurement. kiss that ruins you.  the scent of burning fat. a tattoo that terrifies its viewer.  the agony of hellfire displayed as art.  auburn hair.  little clothing in cold weather.  a ripple in the air.  trying to cool down in vain.

v.  THE FLESH. body horror.   factories.   a hunger for something more filling. never quite happy with how you look. the terror of an animal waiting for slaughter. a very good meal. the liquid of a perfect steak. fighting your worst survival instincts. a twisted bone.   long nights working out.   more than one heart.   appearance that shapes like clay.   a bag of bones.   bone broth in a pot.   knowing to fear pigs.   the butcher’s shop.   plastic surgery.  something alien inside your body. a hunger in the gaze laid upon you. unwitting cannibalism. forgetting what you used to look like. being admired for your appearance & appearance only.  teeth marks on skin. scars from wounds that should’ve killed you.   cooking in scarcity. fenced in with one way to go.

vi.  THE END.          the last page of a book.  nightmares that don’t feel like nightmares.   a skeletal hand.   the grip of the grim reaper around your throat.   existential pain.   ivory dice.  flatlining in a hospital.  gambling with death.  as old as the universe.  soul & spirit tied to an object.  a dream where you die. closing your eyes for the last time. the pleas of a dying one.  knowing the fate of someone you know & being unable to prevent it.   a thousand cords tugging you towards your end.  skin that’s freezing to the touch.   an act of desperation. someone’s life for yours. an eternity spent alive. the cost of your selfishness.  watching your own burial.   causing your own burial.  the smell of death.  numbness to fear.  words from someone gone. meaninglessness of the actions or lives of single people in the universe.  multiple near-death experiences you refuse to die from.

vii.  THE EYE.          googling something you shouldn’t have. eureka moments.  the unforgiving lens of a camera.   witness reports.   hidden libraries.   eyes of different colors.   feeling of being watched.  a death recorded in tape.   a tragedy you can’t look away from.   endangering yourself for knowledge.   truth.   analog records.   a symbol of an eye.   a watch tower.   compulsion to document.   turning on recording devices without thinking about it.   saving the evidence before the person. extracting information.   truth or dare,  without the dare.  a thirst for knowledge. books that speak to you.   coordinated shelves.   cataloguing systems.   voyeurism.   police report you can’t put down.  reasoning your way out.  smell of old papers.  books that read you back.

viii.  THE HUNT.          sharp canines.   sore calves after a run.   the scent of blood.   an adventure for the journey’s sake.   the adrenaline right before the kill.   a whistle’s echo.   the woods.   the doe eyes of a prey animal. ��your own breath in the air.  sharpened claws.   being tracked.   fear of someone knowing your every movement.   hunting down monsters.   hide & seek.   running away only to end up where you started.   staying alive purely because the enemy enjoys seeing you run.   a set of footsteps behind you.   blood dripping from bare hands.   barks & growls.   focused eyes.   a victim going limp under your hands.   a mouth full of fresh blood.   catching the scent of something monstrous.   perfecting your craft.   peering into the dark & running after it.

ix.  THE LONELY.          an apartment too small for a double bed.   completely vacant streets.   waking up to see everyone gone.  fog.  point nemo.  a house too big to hear your family members in.  alone in a faceless crowd.  a mask with nothing behind it.  separated cubicles.  a deafening silence where joy should be.  a blinding spotlight.  the least missed in your friend group.  streets without lights in the windows.  isolation.  not truly knowing your friends.   your friends not truly knowing you.  need for silence.  fear of crowds.  staring into space knowing nothing is looking back at you.  a ship alone at sea.  depression.  knowing your friends are better off without you.  talking to someone only to realise they’re gone.  a family too large to notice you there.  safety in being alone.

x.  THE SLAUGHTER          a game of tag.   senseless violence.   a true crime hobby.   improvised weapons.   blinding rage.   intent to kill.   a horrific day in a quiet community.   a medal of bravery.  holding on to what validates your anger.   history books that spare no details.   an injury you want revenge for.   war.   counting kills.   songs of soldiers.   a knifeblock on the counter.   a pool of blood.   shellshock.   unspeakable horrors.   anger pushing you forward.   unimaginable pain.   not seeing who will hurt you but knowing the pain is coming.   a fully human monster.   an authority sending its lessers to their deaths.   kill or be killed.   unedited wartime memoirs.   a weapons collection.   not knowing the names of who you kill.   too many to remember.   loss of hope.   there’s no heroes in war.

xi.  THE SPIRAL          sleep deprivation.   corridors you can get lost in.   maze puzzles that loop back on themselves.   losing possessions.   losing people.   losing your sanity.   corkscew curls.   rows of funhouse mirrors.   optical illusions.   a separate reality.   walking through the wrong door.   delusions.   not knowing what your hands are doing.   blank spaces in documents.   hallucinations.   wrong proportions.   a nameless thing.   a place that has never existed.   doubting your own mind.   blind faith.   losing track of names,  labels,  categories.   distorted sound.   an imperfection in a glass that twists the view.   loss of time.   a garish colour.   doors that open to nowhere.   lies.   an unnatural laugh.   jokes & tricks.   illusions.   a doorway.   a sculptor with a wild imagination.   limbs in impossible angles.   doing what’s fun,  not what’s sensible.   fractals you can get lost in.

xii.  THE STRANGER          wax figures.   a close approximation of a human face.   a borrowed appearance.   a strange smell.   glass eyes.   furs & pelts.   a dance.   a song of a choir.   the uncanny valley.   stitching yourself together.   the colours of a circus.   a puppet with no strings.   mannequins.   glitter & sequin.   a stranger you’ve always known.   someone strange in the place of someone you knew.   stolen identities.   stolen skins.   a machine imitating humanity.   the anonymity of a service worker.   hiding in plain sight.   uncomfortable to look at.   a faked accent.   concealing.   forgetting who you are.   forgetting who others are.   a replacement no one notices.   images that look posed.   the only one seeing the false face of someone.

xiii.  THE VAST.          open spaces.   carnival rides going up & down.   fear of heights.   endless infinity around you.   your insignificance in an universe.   stomach turning at a drop.   fear of not the crash down but the moment you slip.   the sway of a cable car.   an adventure holiday.   losing track of where the surface is.   miles & miles of nothing around you.   staring at the sky & feeling like you may fall into it.   loss of control.   a fall that doesn’t end in death.   glass floor to the view below.   terminal velocity.   the sound of wind in your ears.   a reach over the railing.   a jump from the top of the building.   falling into nothing.   feeling your feet let go of the ground.   a leap of faith.   motion sickness.

xiv.  THE WEB.          undecipherable code.   a puppeteer holding the strings.   power over the weak—willed.    strings of fate.   manipulation.   an arranged accident.   a hundred minions doing your bidding.   cobwebs.   spiders.   a laid trap.   never voicing discomfort.   outwitting a cheater.   doing things without realising it.   red string across a corkboard.   finding something lost where you were sure you checked.   power over the unrealiability of chance.   watching others dance for you.   an entangled death.   a thousand tiny legs & fangs.   shady forum threads.   something important gone missing.   suspiciously disregarded case.   a missing witness.   connections.   the world wide web.   power of victimhood.   gullibility.   no control over your own decisions.   an invisible leash.   mass psychology.   a horror film in the making.   scapegoat.   never remembering to ask for a name.

+  THE EXTINCTION.          the end of an era.   apocalypse movies.   the alarms of warning systems.   a desolate landscape.   end of the world cults.   nihilism.   the last written history.   a changed world.   no survivours.   old prophecies.   a thousand predicted ends.   a new chapter.   an end with no escape.   catastrophes.   a calendar counting down.   breaking point.   overindulgence.

Wendip Week 2020 day 2 - quicksand

(Ao3)

As far as romantic walks on a beach went, this was not what Dipper had on his mind.

First and foremost, he imagined a never-ending highway of sand, separating the land from azure sea, giving him just enough time to tell Wendy exactly how he feels about her. The beach that surrounded part of the Gravity Falls lake couldn't really be called that even by the least picky beach-goers.

Secondly, though in Dipper's eyes the sun made Wendy's auburn hair even more divine, he really couldn't call the stroll romantic, as it would imply Wendy shared the same feelings towards him. And so far, Dipper hasn't managed to bring himself to proclaim his love for her.

Thirdly, beach strolls, romantic or not, usually did not include falling into a quicksand that could potentially lead to your death.

As Dipper struggled moving his body in the pit of sand, he realised that this should have been number 1 on his list of complaints.

- Okay, okay, don't panic. - Dipper spoke, more to reassure himself than his crush - I have read how to escape quicksands. You just have to lie back... - Dipper.. - ...and then try to pull yourself up... - Dipper! - And besides, you probably won't suffocate, since most quicksands are at most 3 feet deep, and it takes forever for a quicksand to suck you in anyway, so we- - DIPPER!

Wendy's shout interrupted Dipper's panicked mumbling. With her legs trapped in the sand as well, she was naturally uncomfortable, but even by her cool and restrained attitude, she looked terrified.

- Dipper, first of all, *you* are three feet tall.

Dipper let out a short meep.

- And secondly, we're not gonna die slowly here, because it's not a quicksand.

Wendy's eyes widened, as she spoke the next few words.

- It's a SLOW-SAND!

And just as Dipper was about to ask what was the difference, with a quiet "pop" they were sucked into the sand underneath them, temporarily entombing them in the darkness, and as the soil returned to its natural, flat shape after swallowing them, it let out a pronounced, much louder burp that echoed between the mountains that surrounded the lake.

Dipper and Wendy let out a shriek as they found themselves falling down a dark, empty tunnel, and only when their bodies collided mid-air, the two found some solace, though it only lasted for a few moments as they landed on a pile of sand that somewhat cushioned their fall.

- We-Wendy! - Dipper coughed, feeling aching in his legs - Are-are you okay? - Yeah, I think so...

He felt enormous relief when he heard her voice, and after some more crawling in the near-darkness, the two found each other. Though the walls were covered in glowing fungi, the two desperately needed more light. Wendy reached her hand into her pocket, and the next second the cave was illuminated by her cell-phone. But when Wendy shone the light in front of her, she immediately regretted it, as instead of brightening the wall, it revealed two bug eyes and chitin pincers.  

At once, Wendy thought of a plan. She grabbed a fistful of sand and threw it at the beast's face, who roared in pain, making her heart beat twice as fast. She grabbed Dipper and ran as far away from the beast, hoping to find some sort of corridor or a lair leading outside.

- It's-it's a giant ant!

Dipper exclaimed, but at the same time, something grabbed him, yanking him out of Wendy's arms. He expected thin, spindly legs, but instead, he was being held by massive, furry paws, much to his and Wendy's surprise.

- It's... a lion?

His words gave Wendy enough information to know what to do, as she shouted her words, dropped her phone and rushed with her axe to Dipper's rescue!

- Ah, watch out! - Wendy shrieked - It's an antlion!

Upon hearing its name, the beast roared and in its rampage, allowing Dipper to slip from its grip. With two preys surrounding it, the antlion became temporarily confused, and that gave Wendy and Dipper chance to counter-attack. When the beast leaped towards Dipper, he acted quickly, filling the cave with blinding light from his phone's camera, and when that forced the antlion to take a step back, Wendy jumped and leapt onto its body, keeping her hands on its antennae as reins.

The antlion roared again and arched its back to throw Wendy off, but having anticipated that, the lumberjane leaned forward, reached her hand to grab Dipper and yanked him upwards so he can join her. Without even thinking, Dipper closed his arms around Wendy's torso, holding onto her as if they were riding the furriest of motorcycles.

- Buckle up, Dipper! - Wendy shouted - I'm gonna try to drive it up the shaft!

But as she was about to tame the beast, suddenly the cave was filled with warm, yellow light, and two more voices reached Wendy and Dipper.

- Anty! What are you doing?

Wendy and Dipper looked back, and so did the antlion, noticing that the alien cave they were trapped in actually looked like a cozy living room, sans the massive sandpile in the middle of it. And in the hole at one end of it, stood a massive, old lion and on its head a small ant, stomping all six of its legs.

- Anty, answer your mother. - the lion grumbled, and the beast trembled, lowering its head in shame - Oh, I do apologise for Anty - the ant that apparently was his mother spoke, and her husband walked towards Wendy and Dipper, offering his legs to help them get off. - We told our son to not set up traps for people taking romantic strolls on the beach, but it's apparently too much to ask... - We-We're not- - It wasn't-wasn't supposed to be-

Both Dipper and Wendy began explaining themselves, their faces turning slight shade of red, but the ant mother didn't listen.

- Why can't you be like your brother? He didn't have those crazy ideas when he was your age!

The ant pointed two of her legs at a picture on a wall, depicting a beast with an ant's body and a head and mane of a lion.

- Yes, maybe we can ask Lionant to spend some time with you, once he comes back from his studies abroad, of course. - the father spoke calmly, stressing those last words, much to antlion's annoyance. - Uhm, excuse me? - Dipper asked shyly, finally getting the odd parents' attention - We really didn't mean to drop here, and it seems you guys have something to talk about, so... can you point us to an exit?

The two teenagers exchanged knowing looks and smiled politely at the two wild animals.

A few minutes later, a massive boulder on a beach was moved from beneath it, revealing another, official entrance to the ant-lion's family house.

- If you are in the neighbourhood, do drop in - the ant spoke, before she realised what she said - Oops, I didn't mean that.

The rock was moved back, camouflaging the underground house, leaving Wendy and Dipper utterly perplexed, until Dipper let out a cough.

- So, uh, Wendy... - he shied away and moved his foot in the sand - Sorry it didn't work that well out... - Are you kidding? It was cool, man. - Wendy nudged him, prompting him to follow her back to the Shack - I mean, we could have died, but it was cool! I totally wanted to ride that thing, like in that game where you have to keep holding on these giants' backs, and maybe we could have climbed up that hole, and...

And as Wendy kept talking, Dipper relaxed and stared at her red hair, bathed in orange light of the setting sun, and with each minute he was falling for her again.

- By the way, how do you think... the lion.. and the ant... - Dude, you just killed the mood. - Wendy chuckled.

It took Dipper a moment to realise that their evening stroll *had* a mood.

jade leech and the market soup

HELLO I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT ANOTHER MUSHROOM FROM THIS EVENT.

so i looked up "red brown human ear mushroom" and the wood ear mushroom appeared!!

apparently they have a texture thats similar to jelly, but they work well with soups, salads, and dumpling recipes!!

ofc, they're dried for some of those recipes, and its highly recommended that you cook them first. they taste earthy and mild and apparently do not have much of a flavor on their own, but are good for soaking up the other flavors in the soup/dish they're in. kinda reminds me of rice or tofu!!

they grow on decaying trees in humid & temperate forests.

this event needs to stop giving me weird plants & mushrooms to talk about because im not going to shut up.

and by that of course i mean that they should not stop. because mushrooms are cool and jade leech deserves the hype.

ii.      the   corruption.         insects.      a   close   imitation   of   the   natural   course   of   life.      an   illness   in   a   community.      a   rag   that   dirties   more   than   it   cleans.      an   untreated   wound.      containment.     breaching   containment.      unbreathable   air.      fungi.      one   with   that   you   love.      one   with   what   loves   you.      a   corpse   unfit   for   a   glass   case.      hearing   a   song   in   the   sound   of   tiny   wings   and   legs.      honeycomb   patterns.      an   ecosystem   within   a   person.      a   curse   passed   on.      the   hubris   of   a   scientist.      an   ugly   death   where   a   glorious   one   is   owed.      blood   on   a   handkerchief.      parasites.      something   pushing   up   the   sewer.      a   mask   to   keep   something   out.      knowing   you   belong.      death   weeks   after   impact.      fever.      food   that’s   gone   off.      pandora’s   box.      death   behind   a   glass.

iii.      the   dark.         shadows.      lights   that   turn   off   by   themselves.      the   feel   of   cold   marble.      a   beaked   creature   in   the   night.      the   difference   between   seeing   darkness   and   seeing   nothing.     touch   of   something   you   can’t   see.      hiding   under   a   blanket.      white,   clouded   eyes.      months   without   going   outside   during   sunlight.      pouring   dark.      unscrewing   lightbulbs.      black   matter.      light   sensitivity.      a   starless   night.      time   before   light   was   created.      a   shadow   on   the   wall   without   a   body   to   attach   to.      withering   plants.      a   world   without   a   sun.      footfalls   in   an   empty   house   in   the   night.      a   light   that   doesn’t   reach   as   far   as   it   should.      desperate   reach   for   a   flashlight.      clothes   that   hide   your   shape.      staying   unperceivable.      winter   months   in   the   north.      an   empty   church.
