#king of the meadow

[vandaliatraveler]

Summer has arrived, and with it, the single greatest proliferation of life in Central Appalachia. This is the time of great, ostentatious wildflowers, one more showy and resplendent than the next, each competing with the other for the swarms of pollinators that have emerged to drink from the earth's sweet nectar pots, find their mates, and plant their eggs in the all-too-brief span before their whirring energies have faded into oblivion. At no time do I feel more connected to life's urgent, relentless pulse than in the electric heat of summer; the rich meadows, bogs, streambanks, and hedgerows are my temples and the tiny creatures that come to them to feed and renew their kind are the only intermediaries I need to realize true spiritual peace and joy.

The photos above are from a late afternoon bike ride on Deckers Creek Trail.

Guess who’s reading another dark romcom with a psychotic, narcissistic antisocial mmc who has it real bad for the fmc but acts like a dickhead just to get her attention and fall in love with her for just existing.

It’s not me(its me)

[nyxstherapy]

james: regulus hates me, he's always so mean to me, there's no way that he'd have feelings for me *meanwhile regulus in his dorm talking about james* reg: he smiled at me for 4 seconds, 4 divided by 2 is 2 and 2 is a couple which means that he wants to be a couple and then i saw him writing a letter to his parents in the library sooo he wants to introduce me to his parents dorcas: evan: barty: ...reg, you’re not even dating reg: not yet, but when he smiled at me two day ago it was a full moon and full moon means fulfilled love slytherin skittles: pandora: honestly not even i have the power to explain things like that

[ Part 2 ]

[ - Juniperstar and Meadowshade are mates, officially. ] [ - Slippaw challenges a rouge at the border with five others to back him. ] [ - Longpaw fails to make out a dream Lavenderstep had, and Jupitermask also can't interpret a dream. ]

(Side note, the mallow field with the suspiciously bloody rock a site of ritual! So anything from becoming mates to sacrificing prey to the ocean is done there!) (That blood was from a rabbit. Longpaw may or may not have done so to ask Starclan to make him not a warrior.)

[ppenguinpperson]

something something dys has no attachment to his identity as a person either but he's still distinctly different from tang so. hits him with my non-binary beam too. maybe agender. i don't think he'd care about labels though. ANYWAY

blanketed him >:)

[lilyofthevalleyys]

here’s another idea:

how about an alice in wonderland au? Pandora as Alice, and Lily as the Queen of Hearts. It would sort of be an enemies to lovers. And Lily has to say ‘Off with your head!’ right?

what if she hesitates? what if instead, she calls for Pandora to be locked up instead of beheaded?

and so at nights, Lily goes to meet Pandora. And they get to know each other. Lily inevitably has to get Pandora out without ruining her own reputation.

and we have Barty as the Mad Hatter, Dorcas as the Cheshire Cat, Regulus as the White Rabbit and Evan as her brother (sister in the originals but yeah) or the March Hare

[risetherivermoon]

Barty: guys

Dorcas: don't, i can smell the trouble off of you, i have to study tonight for OWLS

Evan: go on, you've captured my attention

Dorcas: Evan you agreed to study with–

Evan, with a finger on Dorcas' mouth: shhh, let the man speak

Barty: thank you, Ev

Evan: of course, of course

Regulus: i hope to merlin this doesn't involve the marauders and their pranks

Pandora: i thought you swore not to call them that because it's a childish nickname and you don't associate yourself with people like that?

Regulus: ...

Dorcas: your silence speaks wonders, Reg

Barty: WOULD YOU ALL LET ME SPEAK?!

Pandora: yes, Bee, go on

Barty: thank you, Panda. I have an idea, that involves a party

Regulus: count me out

Dorcas: AGAIN, OWLS

Barty: ONCE OWLS ARE OVER! FOR FUCKS SAKE YOU PEOPLE NEED TO LET ME SPEAK

Evan: KEEP GOING BARTY I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR IDEAS!

Dorcas, mumbling: bloody gay traitor.

Evan, glaring at her: ...

Barty: okay, but what if we throw a huge ass party AFTER OWLS is over, and we just all get drunk and fucked up. But the idea here, is that we throw the party and invite people from all houses, and then we release the snakes.

Regulus: Bartemius.

Evan: i'm so in

Barty: Evan, i could kiss you sometimes, you know?

Evan: then why dont you? I MEAN UH- YES PARTY, DRUGS, ALCOHOL YES.

Dorcas, shaking her head: bloody hell.

Pandora: you two should definitely kiss

Regulus: Dora, don't encourage them

Barty, blinking in confusion: uh..okay?

*kisses Evan on the lips*

Dorcas: I-

Regulus: this- this is not what i expected to happen today

Pandora: awww, you two are so cute!!

Evan, gaping at the floor: ...

Barty: so, party snakes, good idea, bad idea?

Pandora: can i give them all tiny party hats?

Barty: fuck yeah

Pandora: then i am in

Dorcas: OH FOR FU–

Part 2: Early Summer Wildflower Palooza, Cranberry Glades. During the first week of July, as the orchids are peaking in the bogs and seeps, the first wave of summer wildflowers, including the milkweeds and beebalms, arrives in earnest, bringing a blaze of color to open meadows and bog and forest margins. In the old growth woods of the adjacent Cranberry Wilderness, an array of strange and beautiful fungi sprout from moss-covered logs and the forest floor.

From top: tall meadow rue (Thalictrum pubescens), also known as king of the meadow, a wetlands-loving perennial whose distinctive, cream-colored flowers are composed of thread-like stamens only; meadow phlox (Phlox maculata), also known as wild sweet William and spotted phlox, easily distinguished from other phlox species by its red-spotted stems; mountain wood sorrel (Oxalis montana); a ramp (Allium tricoccum) flower, which emerges in early summer on a leafless stalk, after the foliage has died back; a shiny hemlock varnish shelf (Ganoderma tsugae) assailed by pleasing fungus beetles (Megalodacne), rarely seen because they hide under leaf litter during the day and feed on Ganoderma fungi at night; a lovely colony of crown-tipped corals (Artomyces pyxidatus); the beguiling fringed loosestrife (Lysimachia ciliata), an aggressively-colonizing perennial that makes for a shady ground cover in native wildflower gardens; and that blazingly-beautiful mint, scarlet beebalm (Monarda didyma), whose storied history as a medicinal herb stems from its antiseptic and stimulant properties.

Something went wrong and both Gryffindoor and Slytherin's teams arrive to train at the Quidditch pitch at the same time James: Vanity. Emma: Potter. Marlene: Meadowes Dorcas: Mckinnon Lucinda:[points at herself] Talkalot, [points at Regulus] Black. Great, now that we all know each other, GET OUT OF OUR PITCH!!!
