#im not a botany nerd

[reddish-bush]

Another set of plant pics :D

[moon-floret]

Sage is actually my mouthpiece for my distaste for the term "pleasure graft" . How anti intellectual. It's a stigma. The ol anther and filament. The twig and berries, if you want to be crass. Pleasure graft...

[minglana]

haateeee that in high school science classes they dont introduce you to like. the greek alphabet. bc i just found out (2 days before the exam) that ive been writing phi when i shouldve been writing ro in a formula. like. my contact w the greek alphabet is none. they just expect us to know these things bro😭

[wlw-cryptid]

STONE butch named SCHIST I love it so so much

it wasnt INTENTIONAL intentional but. i mean. i did do it in any case

[cordyline-uki]

fun fact snapdragons have an extended blooming period meaning they can repeatedly bloom throughout the season but they thrive in spring and fall

and in most cool climates they bloom all summer and in milder climates they can bloom throughout the winter

do you have a favorite flower? 🎤

Snapdragons! They are pretty and goofy when you squeeze the sides of them because it looks like they go om nom nom lol

[bed-of-ashes]

sighs. sorry if any of this has been done before but im literally going to school for botany and im a literature analysis nerd so. here we go

I personally find it really fascinating Ivory is mistaken as "Ivy" and she has to redirect people away from that. Aside from being an interesting way to introduce a character, there's symbolism potential here. Take it with a grain of salt because obviously, it's a Jonathan Sims situation, it's the creator's name. However. Ivy is a plant, a living organism, and that automatically means a lot more considering this is The Plant Themed Horror Minecraft. Ivory, meanwhile, is . . . dead. It's dead biotic material from an animal. It's prized for its rarity, making it a symbol of wealth if you possess it. Interesting for a servant

Ivy on the other hand is common and well known, fairly easy to obtain. This basically just says that Ivory is far more than meets the eye to the other serving staff

(it's also the name for all those super fancy colleges. You know the ones. Minutes later Clownpierce is informed that Ivory might be "stunted"—she is not an ivy.)

Also I just think it's funny that the head butler assumes she has a plant name because he's so used to the Hemlockes lol

Speaking of hemlock I'm sure this has already been noticed but symptoms of hemlock poisoning include vomiting and restlessness. Pyro didn't seem unsettled by it at all, however. All he does is ask for coffee. A common "settle your stomach and wake up" remedy, but also really great at erasing scents. Wonder if they're being poisoned by someone else or doing it on purpose

White pines being a symbol of peace tho is insane because god it is not peaceful here

hemlock is the name of an evergreen tree as well, named after the poisonous plant. Notable other evergreens mentioned include ivy and white pines.

the symbolism of evergreens is kinda in the name but yeah, longevity and resilience are kinda the keystones here. a little ironic but hey

"jeremy if this is another hc post I'm going to kill you" bad news

castaway nonsense PART TWO

– schnauz is deathly afraid of water. it unsettles him deeply, largely because of past experience. do you SEE his treasure catalogue entry for the blue paint?? who "swims out" for the "last time" in a swimming pool???? someone fucking DIED

– on a slightly similar note, he laughs when he's nervous!

– he is Perpetually Nervous

– I think molly would REALLY like the evil skeleton wizard memes that have taken over my brain for the past several years. "not me being evil shadow skull" and no one knows what the fuck she's talking about

– molly writes fanfiction

– will let people borrow her camera if you ask nicely

– speaking of molly. her and patch and dash should be best friends forever. same home planet and they all do stupid shit. jin is also involved and they're the voice of reason

– dash has a lot of fidget toys. on him at all times

– wears those jackets where it's just an anime character wrapped around them all the way all bizarre like. he doesn't think it's a good design by any means it's just really funny

– frisé's favorite instrument is the didgeridoo

– also she's intersex. I can do whatever I want

– hitting frisé with the singing/humming/tapping on stuff as stims beam

– construction work is super fucking loud so I think corgwin just would not be bothered by sudden/incredible noise anymore. it just reads as background stuff to him! that or he like genuinely isn't picking up on some of it at all, it doesn't register. frequent tinnitus haver. he might be going deaf

– corgwin is tumblr famous. the pikmin universe tumblr equivalent anyway. inspired by the headcanon generator that told us in the pikmin server I'm in that charlie lit a school on fire and got away with it and that the rescue corps killed princess diana

– think about it. he'd share fun building facts. niche internet micro celebrity and everybody loves him

– lapi is also tumblr famous

– he likes frolicking around outside For Enrichment but he also does it in the rain and sometimes comes home sick

– guilty of making sketchbooks into renderbooks and taking several years to complete them. "but it has to be perfect" That Is The Devil Talking

– horatio is not immune to the fog

– he has a VERY specific skillset. like. like stupid specific. the guy is the most proficient xylophonist you've ever met but he can't cook. knows how aeronautics works but his phone call game is BAD. give him an old movie from decades back and he can tell you what it is and who acted in it and exactly where he was when he first saw it, easily. if you ask him for directions anywhere he'll crumble and die

– he wrote his ID badge like that. it was fully and completely on purpose. horatio thinks it's funny as hell

– françois really likes bugs! sees them all the time in his work even if his studies are flora centric. while on pnf-404 he probably talks about it a LOT with dalmo. botany/environmental science major who minored in entomology

– I just do not think he'd be afraid of them and that is beautiful. he allows nothing to dissuade him. he has pet spiders it is wonderful

– OKAY YOU KNOW THOSE THINGS YOU CAN GET AT THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER AND IN OTHER PLACES WHERE IT'S LIKE ROCK SAMPLES FROM FOREIGN SPACE BODIES?? AM I INSANE??? in the little capsules and shit ????? yeah kit has those

– astrophysics lover. adores space science. worked at a planetarium before meeting osa. I don't remember if this contradicts the established lore and I am too tired to go back and check so if im wrong you can pelt me with stones and tomato

– osa lets him ramble on about it but in all honesty he does not know what the fuck kit is talking about half the time ever. ever

– vice versa! osa also has a huge nerd thing and it's world history. which makes sense for an archaeologist. I don't mean modern history either I mean ANCIENT

– fawks would unironically endorse the idea of a cybertruck but it never comes to fruition because everyone says it's stupid and he feels insulted and he gives up and sulks about it

– but he'd specialize. I know he would. he gets specific with it. good for him! my money is on prehistoric archaeology, stuff back before written text, and language, and any history that could be recorded with the power of words. which is why travelling to pnf-404 was so fucking important to him, he's been trying to construct something that would fill in the gaps of that lost starfolk history and this WAS the exact sort of thing that he was looking for

– technically they're doing geoarchaeology together. yes that's a subfield

– he is a tech bro and everybody thinks this is stupid and dumb also

– chewy

[jacarandaaaas]

i feel like popstar!isa would have those CRAZY rave visuals 🔥🔥

also how does she incorporate her gift into her performances? (if she does). i wanna eventually draw fanart of this au after im done with artfight refs 😈‼️

LMAOOOO no she would😭

Isa would be wanting to project some trippy weird visual on the stage with a dancing cactus and dolores is like “isa this is a ballad” 🧍‍♀️so Safe to say isa is NOT in charge of art direction anymore😭

Ooh I forgot to mention no gifts in this au but dont worry isa is still as extra as ever. If you’ve ever seen those videos of pink flying around at her concerts? yeah that’s isa! shes still an extra as hell acrobat and loves incorporating that into her performances! its become an inside joke for fans! despite no gifts the girls still retain their canon interests! isa is studying ecology and still has huge interest in botany! the girls joke about it and call her a nerd because she’s so smart💀 and isa loves talking about what she’s studying! so mira could be sitting trying to enjoy her food and isa🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ about some plant😭 she doesn’t feel necessarily trapped in this au but she feels more free on stage! it’s still a lot of pressure with her perfect grades and exams!

[webslingingslasher]

nerd!peter brainrot because wdym he’s one of those lego flower bouquet people he made himself because he has a pollen allergy or smth

ethan randomly says shit like ‘a leaf is green’ if me, his man or woman or whatever I’ve ascended the astral plane of gender, asks about how botany’s going or his silly garden

J i think im high on your blog again 😔 also hihi 🐥 whatever happens on the blood stays on the blog because i lowkey go feral here !!

— 🥡

it's true. 🥡 cannot contain themselves.

'how's the greenhouse doing?'

'plants are planting.'

'love that for you.'

tagged by @purgetrooperfox​ ty. gonna have to dig deep for my other ocs XD

favorite oc: This may be shocking. But it is this guy named Twitch. I may have mentioned him once or twice (times a million). im not the best at art so most of these pics will be by other people. this one is by @patchmates

newest oc: had to go back in my works but the most recent person i have created from the depths of my mind was a CG medic named Eq (short for Equilibrium). He’s the senior specialist on sedatives and anesthetics.

oldest oc: oh man i actually have this one oc that started somewhat as a self insert but then she changed so much she is just too different from me to think that anymore. To make a several year long story short. She has plant powers and enhanced physical abilities and is an actual empath. She’s a classic grumpy lone wanderer with a soft spot for kids. I've managed to dig out two pictures of her. She usually uses the second suit and with a staff. She has a piece of a wood from Yggsadrl which is unbreakable and invulnerable to magic. Her name (which has changed at least 4 times over the years) is The Dryad/ Rose something.

meanest oc: I have a hard time making “mean” ocs, but the grumpiest is probably Croissant. He’s my main Corrie medic. He is tired in a way that has nothing to do with Coruscant (not that it helps) and prefers a good trivia book to people in general.

softest oc: Yeah that’s definitely Twitch. #1 Soft guy and I love him for it.

most standoffish/aloof oc: Yeah thats Dryad. Despite being an empath she does not trust easily. Plus she has teleportation abilities so she travels alone a lot. 

dumbest oc: hard to say. all my ocs tend to be smart in different ways. Twitch is a genius when it comes to people but has no tactical abilites, Dryad has knowledge of all botany because of her powers but can’t manage much tech. I have a Mandalorian blacksmith somewhere too.

smartest oc: I’ll just put Croissant here specifically because he is a certified trivia nerd.

horniest oc: I do not think about my ocs in terms of horny \-o-/

oc I'd bang: none of them they’re either me or my children.

oc I'd be besties with irl: Twitch listen I literally made this guy with keeping in mind “hey what would make someone a really good friend.” He’s kind, patient, good with people, and cares for them as well. At this point he’s almost my imaginary friend should I seek help.

IDk if you have some ocs go for it. @certified-anakinfucker​ i know you have a million ocs, @mwolf0epsilon​ so do you, and @saltsanford​ you just made so many new medics for me to cry over tell me more about them. I know i just tagged you alll like an hour ago but whatever

im in boise for my first big professional conference and 1) its too hot 2) i get to give my first professional presentation! 3) ive only ever been to anime conventions and there are way fewer differences between Botany Nerds and Anime Nerds than one might think

[charaznablescanontoyota]

silvaire? and hank marshallow?

yaaaaay my funny guys thank you cedar!!! im still doing this if ppl want to send me blb guys and hear shit i made up about them

silvaire:

orphan/foundling raised by silvaire sr., gruff guy old enough to be her grandpa who taught her everything he knows

trans woman + lesbian

raised vaguely sephardic, only sort of loosely connected with judaism and didn't regularly observe holidays or anything until she joined the crabs and was surrounded by more jewish ppl

there's a 50/50 chance in my own writing that she's either just a regular sharpshooter with rigid ideas about chivalry or she's literally a transplant from the dark tower universe

can throw her voice and will do it to startle people

picks up languages very quickly, fluent in english/spanish/french/asl, knows enough of a handful of others (incl. japanese and ladino) to get by conversationally

great memory for names and faces

was friends with tillman before she took his spot in the lineup, genuinely valued his companionship and liked having someone to be kind of a shithead with. they met up at dave and busters to play pool every weekend or so

pretty good at riding horses but doesn't get to do it often

missing a finger. she will tell people that a horse bit it off (untrue)

loves riddles and is great at solving them

hank:

they/it scene kid

was getting its masters in botany when it drowned in yesler swamp, got stuck in sort of a time loop of eternally drowning for several years before being unstuck and called up to replace derrick

loud in every way possible. wears eye-searing neon colors, talks a LOT, goes clubbing on the reg, loves screamo and post-hardcore music and blasts that shit frequently

comes off as kind of ditzy if you don't know its a stem student at heart

does roller derby under the name monster marsh

disappears into the wilderness a lot over siesta, likes hiking but especially likes caving (they like being in small spaces. they were always morbidly curious about being shelled)

tight with nerd pacheco! hung out with nerd's shell a lot to keep them company and then they actually got to be pals after nerd was unshelled. they sometimes go on road trips together

their gamma era project is learning to bake

occasionally plays goalie for the pies shadows' rec hockey team

very into philly sports by way of listening to case lancaster and jeff de la cruz yell about philly sports. go birds

[swagging-back-to]

so i bought some pomelo at the store the other day bc ive never had it and ive always seen my asian moots talk about it. but bc im a botany nerd i know its an ancestor of grapefruit... so ive been a bit scared to actually eat it.

Ive gone nearly 8 years thinking im allergic to grapefruit because one day in 2016 i used these grapefruit makeup removing wipes and i woke up digging into my own swollen face.

ive eaten grapefruit before as a kid but obviously i hated it bc it's disgusting. so i thought maybe i just suddenly became allergic...

but NO!! apparently from 2016-2018 Neutrogena grapefruit products gave everyone severe reactions from blisters to swelling to peeling. im still scared tbh but damn. ive told everyone im allergic to grapefruit when i aint even
