#bittersweet nightshade

[hellsitegenetics]

I’m here for your weirdest little guy, the most whacky little goofball you can provide. I haven’t decided if they’re going to become an oc or just some doodle motivation, but I have seen so many people get really pretty creatures so I am hoping to break that streak and get the freakiest freak you got! Dream goal would be if you pulled out something on the same level as a tailess whip scorpion, (if anyone is even slightly arachnophobic I would not look them up, they are like the “worst” parts of spiders cranked up to 11, otherwise definitely look them up they’re cool as hell)

That’s all I got, let’s test my luck!! Big money no Whammies!

Bittersweet nightshade, among the plants I personally associate with the Morrigan in my practice, growing in the crook of a double-trunked bur oak. I have been seeking to divine a period of time for an oath/geis, and I believe the number of berries to be the answer after also divining a confirmation. Crows calls rang out as my Grove and I came upon this tree during a casual gathering. Rather than a new oath/geis, this is a continuation. Bittersweet nightshade is symbolic of fidelity, healing, and protection (though it is poisonous).

PSA, Deadly Nightshade is not a catch-all name for any Nightshade, it is the other common name of Atropa belladonna, the second being just Belladonna.

Also this is not Deadly Nightshade:

This is Bittersweet/Trailing/Woody Nightshade, also known as Snakeberry and by many other common names, scientific name Solanum dulcamara.

This is what Deadly Nightshade looks like:

Maybe artist thought Bittersweet looked more striking, (personally I think Belladonna looks very dramatic) but somehow Bittersweet has been used for images of Deadly Nightshade. Which seems harmless in entertainment media and art, but now I've seen it on educational media and government websites, and this is where we run into trouble.

Draw whichever one you like for your art but maybe don't mix up labels for poisonous plants, because misidentification can kill.

My spirits told me to spend time in nature to bond with the land and work through my homesickness and boy were they right. the moon kept her eye on me and I found some familiar plant allies in the form of bittersweet nightshade and wild indigo.
