enokitake (sometimes shortened to enoki) is an agaric fungus in the family physalacriaceae. it grows naturally on dead wood in china, korea & japan, but is now cultivated commercially almost worldwide !!
the big question : can i bite it?? yeah, absolutely :-) it is eaten in many different countries & has good nutritional value.

I had a dream about one of the OCs I made a while ago (also murder mystery theater).
I know back in March I was discussing different AUs and OCs I could use for future projects, and I had a few issues with one that made me think I should axe that project, so I kind of put them on the wayside. (And hey, since we have been talking about neglecting certain OCs...)
My first problem was that I had four (fifth route scientist path absolutely not) different directions the AU hedgehog could go, but each way would require the OC to have a different personality and backstory. I wound up calling them Omelas, Yossarian (like Catch-22), POW, and Victorian mystery illness as placeholder names. Actual names would come much later. The other issue is that I later found out someone else had some similar ideas, but the ideas for each are different so I think it should be fine.
Either way, it was just a little too complicated to be viable, I thought.
But I had a dream this week that made me realize I could do all of the backstories and plots, if I split the one hedgehog into four different characters with intertwining stories.
Also, much more Flower Hill corruption than I originally had planned, but works out better.
It is kind of long, and only has basic ideas I want for the plot, so I'll put it under a read more.
Omelas
Some Flower Hill generals (or other high ranking position in the army) secretly invade some villages outside the borders of Flower Hill and abduct hedgehogs to pad their numbers. After all, the weasels will run out of bodies at some point, so they might as well throw some bodies that are not from Flower Hill at them.
Omelas is the child of a Korean/Ainu style village in which children are raised communally (and maybe girls aren’t given names until marriage, that is a regional thing in the past), and the hedgehog in question is just treated as an 'extra burden' since they are female. The area itself speaks a specific language dialect since it has been remote for generations, but the village head has been discouraging that.
The young hedgehogs are taken by the generals and sergeants, who mark them as Flower Hill hedgehogs trying to escape conscription, so no one asks many questions, especially since many of them can't give proper names, so other soldiers think they are lying. The military leaders involved get large bonuses for capturing deserters, as well as for how many conscripts they have under them, so two birds one stone.
Eventually, most of the other non Flower Hill hedgehogs die in battle, while the survivors plan rebellions behind the scenes.
Omelas, possibly as part of a ploy by the group to 'send a message,' causes a scene including destruction and threatening Flower Hill in the other dialect one day, that gets herself in trouble. The military police during the trial finds absolutely no record of her existing in Flower Hill before the army, which backs up the stories that had been going around, uncovering the corruption. The investigation unit that has to come in realizes that they now have an international incident on their hands if anyone finds out, and also if the records have been falsified, then there are an untold number of angry foreign hedgehogs planning a rebellion, and they don't know where they are.
Omelas is sent to work on a farm as punishment for the incident she caused, and also to keep them out of the way while Flower Hill tries to figure out what to do about the abductions (probably nothing, most of them are dead anyway, and it could be easier for the others to be written off as weasel sympathizers and ‘gotten rid of’), especially since the villages no longer consider the missing hedgehogs their own.
I kind of want her to be named after a mushroom. I really like the name Enoki/Enokitake, but that is a Japanese word, and it is Pine Mushrooms (songi beoseot) that are the major delicacy in North Korea, so I have to work on that.
But either way, she hates Flower Hill from the bottom of her heart, but also knows the weasels would kill her, so she has to bide her time and hope the rest of the survivors do their part.
Yossarian:
A young hedgehog from a family where each member has an impressive military career, especially in sniping (almost wondering if she should be related to Wonsi, my other hedgehog OC from a sniper family, but those AU ideas are not connected). When she was young, she found a sick and starving mouse child who had crossed the border and tries to help them, only for a squirrel friend a few years older than her to murder the child for being one of the enemy. Everyone praised the squirrel (possibly because they thought they might be next), who later went on to be a squad leader/general, which makes Yossarian question Flower Hill and why everyone outside needs to die, especially if they are too weak to be an issue. She doesn’t question the war or conscription in general, though, just why she has to do it.
Since she is an excellent sniper during conscription, her term limits keeps getting raised, and she is put in an 'exception' group. Like in Catch-22, this group can only end the conscription if they go on a set amount of missions, but that number keeps getting raised whenever they near the cap.
The leader of the group (I don't know military terms and commander seems to be wrong here) is the squirrel friend, who offers to let her out if she marries him in a televised wedding to show off Flower Hill's unity. At some point he forges paperwork saying that everyone in the unit has decided to stay in the military full time for another two years (have not decided if the 'exception group' explanation was a lie he came up with). Most of the group is happy that they did not have to waste the time filling out the paperwork, but others fall into depression, disrupting the unity of the unit.
Thus, Yossarian feels trapped and resents Flower Hill, while also feeling very protective of the few squad-mates she likes, and starts sniping enemy mice and weasels in the shoulders, in such a way that they can never hold guns again, but can still otherwise work. This earns her a reputation with the Weasel Unit. Killing someone brings no joy, but she finds it disturbing how excited she gets to wound someone, since it means they can finally be free, as she wishes to be.
But what would she even do outside of the army? Be a farmer? That would be disgraceful for the family, but can they really see themselves as being a part of the military or marrying the squirrel forever?
Finally, Yossarian snaps and assaults the commanders themselves when they call her in to send her on a long mission, screaming about the lies and false paperwork, which surprises and confuses them (also the squad mates who thought she was happy), because would have assumed she would be happy to work for Flower Hill in that way (oh, but there are a few like her every now and then, but they usually wash out earlier), but yes, that squirrel should not have done that.
He only gets a slap on the wrist, and Yossarian is 'diagnosed' with combat fatigue and stress due to expectations, but still needs to be punished, and is sentenced to work on a farm.
Meanwhile, a small investigation is started.
POW
A failed squirrel scout who gets captured and is a POW for a while before being rescued. But it is assumed he must have talked or turned, and is sent to a detention/re education facility instead to figure out what information they gave (he gave nothing). The detention facility actually does worse than what the weasels did to him, emotionally at least. Flower Hill was supposed to care about him, but they have completely betrayed him, and are not giving his injuries proper medical attention. Also, he is really afraid to go back out, considering everything he had gone through. Even the friends who are allowed to visit look at him as if they think he is weak and pathetic somehow.
He is not actually supposed to be in the detention facility. His commanding officer was a nepotism hire who accidentally gave him the wrong information, and then forged evidence of him being turning traitor to cover up his mistakes. Or maybe was even bribed by the weasel unit to give him over, and the rescue is a ‘problem’ for whatever deals he has going on if anyone looks too closely at the capture. No one in the facility questions the paperwork, though, and don’t explain anything to the squirrel.
This can go two ways:
POW eventually goes into sepsis from the injuries (maybe appendicitis, although really just humans, monkeys, possums, and rabbits who get that but hey, fiction?), and is only saved by the his old drill Sargent who was brought in to scream about what a disgrace he was, but recognized he was dying. That, or the facility gets raided by the Weasel Unit, and some enemy soldiers recognize him and appear so genuinely concerned about his health that he accidentally confesses and answers all their questions. Maybe both.
Or, he agrees to go back out on another mission so he can leave the facility. The handlers falsify some records to say he is fully retrained and recovered, but upon joining up with the Weasel Unit in disguise, has a panic attack and goes catatonic, which combined with his other health issues, freaks out the mice. The doctors turn out to be his original interrogators, who send him back because his reappearance in such a way actually answers the majority of the questions they had been asking about Flower Hill the first time they captured him, so they have no need of him anymore.
The workers could actually be fired or jailed for what they did to him, so they write it off as him developing sympathies for the enemy and helping them (perhaps albeit under duress) which nets him a labor sentence on a farm (especially if they spin it as he somehow brought the weasel unit to attack the facility and let them in). But his physical injuries linger, making it difficult for him to work, and there may be quite a few mental issues involved, which only gets worse as actual investigations begin and find him at the center of the turmoil. Also the drill Sargent starts asking a lot of questions.
Victorian Mystery Disease.
Basically a hedgehog with a failure to thrive issue. They have been sickly since birth with some sort of fatigue disorder, which everyone assumes is laziness. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot move very far without feeling exhausted and slowing down. Maybe some chronic pain issues as well.
Eventually he gets diagnosed as a malingerer, and as punishment to 'fix him,' he is sent to a farm to labor as punishment.
He is very upset about this, and has been frustrated his entire life with his inability to be 'normal,’ like everyone else.
Honestly, I’m kind of thinking Fibromyalgia. I’d didn’t expect to find this term when looking up symptoms as I was about to post, I was going to leave it open ended or give them regular anemia problems.
Murder Mystery
As I said in the original post, The idea for all of this came from when I was playing The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog the day it came out (those actual playtime segments were really stressful and made my mind jump around), and I did want a train to be involved at some point.
Which serves as a good meeting point for the characters, while they are being transported to the farm. They can't exit the train, so they are mostly allowed to roam free.
So, it could start en media res, which each of the four accidentally getting drunk at different points and bemoaning their problems. (Omelas because her guard suggested she tries a drink because she will never get the chance again, Yossarian to drown the stress and shame, POW to steady his nerves because he saw Weasel Unit soldiers, and Vic because it was an accident).
A bartender has the most horrifying night of his life, making him question his habits of getting strangers drunk to listen to their life stories, and briefly reconsider his alliance to Flower Hill.
A foreign reporter has the most fascinating day of her life.
The Poirot style international detective is very concerned.
Meanwhile, the train tracks have been switched, stranding the train in the snow, while several prominent people on board are murdered one by one, and the four are some of the prime suspects...
The Farm
The original plan was for the farm to be at the ocean. But that would provide too many opportunities to escape (although weasel unit infiltration would be easier). I am actually thinking of making the punishment farm be in Dol Jogagga, the rock carving/sculpting village I made up. After all, the sculptures are important for international relations, so they could use some help with the farms.
And they were roommates.
The four live in one small farmhouse together and farm what they can. They are told that if they can manage a certain amount of harvest several times in a row, then they can go back to the rest of Flower Hill.
They dislike each other either for being foreign or for being weak, but eventually heal and unlearn propaganda, maybe. Which is the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
So, basic farming, recovery, and slice of life in this village. Dol Jogagga is protected with enough sentries that there is almost no way to escape without them noticing. But they are remote enough to not stigmatize the laborers like the rest of Flower Hill. In fact, they are a little suspicious of the commanders, and can feel sympathy for the four, so are relatively nice to them, and try and help the best they can. Also remote enough to have their own dialect as well, which the four sometimes accidentally use, to the amusement of the villagers.
Maybe some enemies to lovers with Omelas and Yossarian. POW and Vic can just vibe as roommates and try and fix/understand their illnesses together.
Omelas learns that life does not have to be a tragedy and starts to relax a bit. Maybe starts growing mushrooms and starts a successful business. Everyone else learns to find farming very relaxing.
The corrupt investigative officers and other officers realize that the four are actually enjoying themselves, and people are asking too many questions, but cannot change the punishments because it turns out they got kickbacks from them in the first place. Plus, changing the punishments would bring even more suspicion upon everyone involved in the corruption plots, so they try and trick them into leaving on occasion.
Corrupt investigative officers/military police keep coming by to try and make the four confess to something since otherwise they know too much. Maybe sometimes Weasel Unit scouts do sneak into the village and shenanigans ensure.
Anyway, thanks to the hurricane, it has been raining for days here, and some parts of my area have been evacuated. I'm uphill, at least.
But it had me dreaming that it was a hazy, pleasantly humid, raining midday afternoon. The type of day when the chores are done, and there is not much to do. The hedgehogs and squirrel are cuddled up at the entrance way of the house, either drinking tea or mushroom soju, sliding door opened. In the distance, one of the nosy and aggressive investigators has arrived to harass them again, but since it was an unsanctioned visit, did not know the exact house, and are falling into muddy fields, getting further and further away.
It was very relaxing.
#Flower Hill having massive problems with fraud and corruption in the background and these four seem to be at the root of some of them#which could seriously affect the army#I'm not sure how best to describe serious corruption in the military#so these are basic ideas that would require a lot of research#could just name the omelas hedgehog sonamu (pine) or something if no one else has one with that name#squirrel and hedgehog#squirrel and hedgehog OCs#sah#SaH#I think some people can relate to Victorian mystery disease#if you can see what I was getting at there with the Fibromyalgia#making it a read more since it is long and rambling

Despite the 3-hour nap I keep typing squadroom and am now imagining the Dagger Squad as lots of different types of mushrooms...
Bob = champignon
Jake = chanterelle
Bradley = russula
Javy = procini
Mickey = enokitake
Natasha = black truffle
#writing and wrangling woes#in case you were ever under the impression that inside my head was normal...#if I end up drawing these later while watching 911 with my kids I'll share it...

The Enokitake, an edible mushroom commonly used in East Asian cuisine for week three of Funguary 2024! A simpler/more casual style of clothing felt more appropriate for this simple looking mushroom - plus I think they look very cute as a friend trio <3

Gah, not even cooked shiitake? And judging from your statement, enokitake is certainly out of the question...
Oh, and no mush means your fried tofu options are so limited. What a tough customer. Well, as long as you like meat, it's probably okay. If I ever meet you, I'll lower myself to cooking for a mere human. No stringy and mushy stuff, and whatever else you dislike.
my suffering is endless but i appreciate your efforts to accommodate me nonetheless. in this world we must do all we can for one another

omg i am super curious!! do you like the taste of fungi/mushrooms?? if so, what’s your favorite recipe with them? :-)
i'm a super picky eater & there are few mushrooms commercially sold in my area, but i do enjoy white button mushrooms & enokitake :-)
for buttons i like them on homemade pizzas or a creamy pasta, & for enoki i like them in a south african dish called potjiekos (translating literally to "little pot food").
i mainly just eat white button mushrooms plain & raw cos i enjoy the strange texture !! :-)
here are some recipes i enjoy :

UMBRELLA
a comprehensive list of scenarios | accepting
UMBRELLA : for one muse to share their umbrella with the other on a rainy day.
Sonorous thunder slaughtered the silence of the forest. Beyond the canopy loomed bellicose cumulonimbus clouds that foretold the night's tempest. Uraume turned their ruddy eyes upward, peering through the crevices of the arbor to witness the rolling mass of clouds. Morbid curiosity occupied their mind, and they hoped for a turbulent evening, one that would compliment their lord's tumultuous presence.
The pattering of wooden clogs softened by the damp moss warranted Uraume's attention. They turned their eyes towards the source, noting Sukuna's geta avoided disturbing the flourishing moss in his controlled amble. Uraume trailed the length of his lower half until they looked towards his face, expecting to revere the features they have come to appreciate. Except, an enlarged, emerald calathea leaf blocked their view.
Sukuna continued his approach until the leaf yawned over their head. Their rosy lips parted to speak when a thick sheet of rain poured over the Mistwood. The canopy near well collapsed under the weight of the water, though Sukuna's majestic leaf prevailed under the pressure. Uraume admired Sukuna's gallant presence, despite it were merely an illusion.
"I have accomplished what I came to do," they spoke as they stood, unveiling what their body hid. A medley of summer mushrooms collected in a small basket. They plucked a spire type mushroom with bulbous heads, and their smile grew as they rose it to Sukuna's eyeline. "Enokitake, or a species that resembles the one we know. I will experiment with these to develop a strong umami flavor."
Lightning illuminated their world, and Uraume insisted they witnessed a smidgen of pride and interest gracing Sukuna's expression. They dipped their head, muffling a small noise often voiced in the presence of their lord. "Shall we return to the Hanok before we are swept away?" They veered about Sukuna, hand extended towards the stem of the leaf. Though, they noticed the ebony-clawed hand refused its position. Uraume slipped another small smile before they dipped their head.
"As you wish, Lord Sukuna."
Thus, they began the journey through the relentless sheet of rain towards their home.

Hello, Tumblr
Today ... well yesterday, I've decided to create a Tumblr account as suggested by my cousin, Rei, who I'm yet to follow here. My account creation was delayed as my laptop died on me. Now it is currently the following day, and I have no clue what I'm doing. I don't even know what a blog is. /hj
Since, this is my first post, and I don't know what else to put, I'll just introduce myself.
Please call me Zoraya or Raya. I Shan't include my age, but I am a minor as of the moment. My preferred pronouns are She/They, but I am alright with whatever. (Oooo, I just found there are text options! fun). My favorite colors are Red, Green, and Turquoise. I prefer Gold over Silver. I am a dog person; cats are alright, but I wouldn't want one as a pet, personally. I like to think that I'm fairly decent in art, though I can't seem to find the time and energy to draw. I wear glasses. I am lactose intolerant ... uhh, what else ... I like mint shampoo.
Here are some things that I'm fond of:
Pokemon. My favorite being Zorua, and my least liked being Pikachu and Applin.
Mushrooms. Enokitake is great as replacement noodles for ramen.
The Final Outpost -> " Zoraya "
Art. Traditional. Digital.
Music
Literature
Stuffed toys. Plushies.
Gemstones. My Birthstone is a Garnet.
Anything cute, really.
I am a bored high school student of this science school; It's now Christmas break, so I'm bored, but usually, I'm dying from the workload. Doesn't stop me from procrastinating though.
A pleasure to meet all of Tumblr. <3
