I think moon would like mangos. Both to eat (can iterators eat...?) and to look at.

Pebbles would probably like pineapple cause he can use it to throw at slugcats to get them out of his room (have you ever had a whole pineapple chucked at you? It's very painful. Also I hate pineapple's)

Sweet pineapples are blissful, but you never know if you have one until you have committed to eating the entire fruit. Mangoes are trustworthy. Mangoes are consistent.

Plant of the Day

Thursday 12 September 2024

The cultivar Cucurbita pepo 'Solara' (courgette, zucchini) has a compact, bushy tendril-free habit and here is being given additional protection by the use of cold frames. The yellow skinned courgettes are produced over a long period from July to October.

Excerpt from Establishing Council of the United Sovereignties of Auradon, General Meeting Minutes, Early Spring, year XXXX

Motion #22: Villainous Uprising:  King Adam of Rouen-Metz

King Adam presented to the council the current status of the villain uprising, which now controls the kingdom of Atlantica, the border with Waverly City to the east, and the border with Astoria to the west. The troops dispatched by the United Sovereignties upon our last meeting have been returned to their respective kingdoms in the form of a large quantity (roughly equivalent by weight to the bodies of the soldiers originally dispatched) of black sand. 

In light of this development, King Adam proposes that the council dispatch the full military forces of Auroria and Charmingdale to disburse the villain uprising and recover control of Atlantica. 

Princess Briar Rose of Auroria proposed a second division of troops, in order to lessen the burden on specific kingdoms within the United Sovereignties. 

King Adam reminded Princess Briar that the current troops were returned in ashes, and suggested that perhaps this abject failure at quashing the villains was due to the scattered nature of the previous defense. Furthermore, he brought to the council the proposal of sending all of the troops from each of the united sovereignties in waves so that if the first were to fail once again at suppressing the forward motion of the villains, the second could have an encampment prepared a short distance away so as to avoid the constant moving a troops into position while the villains march forward. 

The council approved the deployment of a united force from the kingdoms of Auroria, Charmingdale, and New London, to attack on the current front lines. An additional contingent will dispatched from each of the other kingdoms in the United Sovereignties who holds a standing military force, to establish a breakpoint in the kingdom of Westerly should the villains evade the front line deployment. Motion approved 16-2, 1 abstained.

Ptolemy: Hm. There's bugs infestation on these blueberry bushes. :/

Liios: Would you like to try my 100% homemade flamethrower with the adapted ultra-refined targeting system from Omega attached that will filter out the bugs from the leaves and only shoot fire at them?

Ptolemy: No.

Liios: Do you think any of your coworkers will let me test it?

Ptolemy: Yes, I do believe that some of them will sell their hard earned scholarly labor in this greenhouse for a smile from the Warrior of Light and also conveniently forget that fire spreads as it burns. So as penance, I hope you are ready for me to tell Krile every single embarrassing story about you in our youth.

Liios: 😒 Botanists. You're no fun.

Alright Fruits!

The Gretson and Rizzles mashup that I’ve thought about for months that no one asked me for. I’m just going to leave this right here! 🍑

Random thought: Why do I usually see people say Arthur is at the bottom of the lake? Ya know, when Avalon is an isle? Not the lake? Was it not clear enough in the show?

Also, is it just funnier that he’s at the bottom of the lake than the boat actually managed to sail all the way to the isle?

I just think jokes about Arthur sick of eating apples and seeing apples and damn, Gwaine would have have loved this place because of all the apples are kind of funny.

And I just think it’s kind of funny if he’s leaving through the mists and gets lost in the mists, too foggy. Like: Merlin! Damn, I walked back to Avalon. Merlin! Ugh, I walked in a circle again! Merlin!!

Actually as much as having insane quantities of money has been a reoccurring trope among the Addams Family, I can't help but think that you would be thinking about it wrong to assume it's the Addams defining trait.

One of the major concepts with the Addams is that it never is explicitly stated what exactly they are, with enough of a plausibly human looking appearance/outward traits, but still some decidedly "not normal human" traits to keep an audience guessing as to what their deal is. Certainly, having suspiciously large amounts of money may help emphasize this factor, but it isn't what creates the near uncanny valley/how human are these people/are they even human or just really human looking cryptids feeling that is integral to the show. Furthermore the Addams also never seem to care about exactly what they are or aren't as long as they are a part of, or otherwise friends of the family.

Another key component is that they never seem to regard the things they engage in as odd, or fully realize that most people would consider the way they live not to be normal; and while that does fit with the concept of rich elites being out of touch with society, it could also be used as a metaphor for what working class people have to do in order to survive being unthinkable to the elites. (Namely in a-the wealthy, contrary to what they say, can't handle everyday jobs like what they claim to have started out as-kind of way.)

In reality a working class version of the Addams Family might look like a family who all live in the same house/apartment/rental due to practicality as opposed to ancestral family home reasons. Who have a hard time finding the right place to live, spending alot of time trying to find the appropriately haunted, dismal, mold infested place that hasn't been condemned or had its neighbourhood gentrified yet. If needing new furniture they'd probably go shopping at dodgy back alley thrifts stores, yardsales or even picking up pieces left by the side of the road hoping that what they find might be haunted/cursed. For meals they might regularly be making use of roadkill, foraging poisonous garden weeds /snails/frogs/toadstools, or even at their local abattoir purchasing offcuts of meat (think the eyes, trotters, ears, tongue, brains, blood, bones etc). They would still regularly consume various poisons albeit slightly less exotic ones such as your bleaches, drain cleaners or rat poison. Perhaps if they lived close to a fruit canning factory they might be able to purchase/take home large quantities of cherry/peach/apricot stones for cheap and eat them similar to how we eat nuts. They may not have a family graveyard, but they would probably routinely go for walks around any local ones the way we go for walks around public parks, allowing kids to play over at cemeteries/abandoned churches while the elders might feed the local crows/ravens. The kids might still keep pet spiders albeit rescues as opposed to thoroughbred (such as the banana spiders you might sometimes hear rumours of lurking in the fruit isle) along with leeches or a large (escaped/abandoned) poisonous snake as a family pet. They may still have carnivorous houseplants, just more ones rescued on the brink of death from the local walmart/grocery store bargain section or found in a local back alley, that after some coaching, began consuming things other than flies. Even if they didn't have the money for florists or enough room to grow roses they still could pick the large thorny stems of wild roses and brambles growing in ditches. Furthermore they still could genuinely love most forms of gothic literature, even if their books might be a bit weather beaten or smelling faintly of mildew.

For bonus points they might use hostile architecture such as anti-homeless spikes the way we use park benches. (Heck, I think even the regular Addams Family might do that.)

You couldn’t do a working class version of the Addams Family without turning them into something else entirely, because the fundamental ambiguity of “okay, are these people, like, vampires or something, or are rich people just Like That” is absolutely essential to the bit.
