Moss Reindeer Family

Father - Cameron Moss

Sister - Juniper Moss

Brother - Buck Moss

Mother - Rowena Moss

FATHER CAMERON MOSS writes for the Sylvanian Times, a weekly newspaper which lets everyone in Sylvania know exactly what is going on in the village. He takes his job very seriously and never leaves the house without his notebook - “just in case something interesting happens” he is fond of telling his wife! Cameron attends all the village fetes and sporting events, recording important matters like who came first in the 100m dash, who was the 'Bonniest Baby' and who won the 'Best Fruit Cake' competition. And he was also first on the scene the day that George Mulberry rode his motorcycle into the flower stall and broke all the heads off the spring tulips! Yet what Cameron likes best of all is 'getting a scoop'. When Catherine and William Balmoral finally announced their wedding last spring he put it right on the front page!

MOTHER ROWENA MOSS helps Cameron at the newspaper. As well as choosing the best pictures, she edits the stories when they get too long and, most important of all, she corrects all her husband's 'appalling' spelling mistakes – Rowena always used to come top of the class in English, unlike Cameron! She is not a very speedy typist though, mainly because she refuses to use anything but the rickety old typewriter that Cameron gave her when they first got married. She says it has lots of sentimental value! But sometimes it takes her so long to complete a story that they have to 'hold' the front page. Cameron has now decided to buy his wife a brand new typewriter for their next anniversary in the hope that this will have “lots of sentimental value” too!

BROTHER BUCK MOSS is Rowena and Cameron's oldest child. His nickname is 'Scoop' as when he grows up he wants to work for the Sylvanian Times just like his parents. He is so keen that he has even started a school magazine called The Berry Grovers. It is full of handy tips like when to do your homework and where to buy the best gym shoes. It also features lots of intersting articles, and all the children know that if they want to find out who won the school sports day or even what's new in the school tuck shop, they just have to read The Berry Grovers!

SISTER JUNIPER MOSS helps her older brother with the school magazine. She is a very artistic lady and draws all the pictures that go with the articles. When she grows up she wants to go to the Sylvanian Art College so that she can learn all about illustrating children's books. She already has lots of ideas and spends most weekends all alone in her bedroom adding to her collection of drawings. She is only hoping that her brother Buck will find time in his busy schedule to write all the stories that she needs!

Of Flora and Fungi

hey so I know I post a lot of test posts and not enough art but like I had a thought that I wanted to share so like what if gods but flowers?

Just think about it okay? hear me out? there are thousands of flowers and thousands of "godly domain" potentials from concepts to physical facts for example, The Lotus of Strength, The Dandelion of Afterlife, The Lily of the Valley of Celebration. It doesn't even have to relate to their flower meaning

I even had the idea that every flower has a mushroom that is their opposite, like yin and yang, opposites attract The Lotus of Strength and The Chanterelle of Weakness, The Dandelion of Afterlife and The Moss of Presentlife oops moss isn't a mushroom, but it releases spores so I thought it counted enough

There's just so many ideas I had with this concept and I kind of want to extend and invitation to you reading to create your own. Whether that be a flower, mushroom, person, curse, whatever you want!

This is a simple world of fantasy, curses, religions and communities there's no "grand story" to follow, just an existing world where things happen, so anything can.

though of course I already have some things more thoroughly thought out, like how curses work, but unless you want to focus on curses for your fun little project I don't imagine you'll need to know, but if you do, just ask.

“Spanish moss” is actually an Angiosperm, one of the flowering plants. Mosses are Bryophytes, separated from Angiosperms by hundreds of millions of years.

“Reindeer moss” isn’t even a plant! It’s a lichen, and the fungus that makes up the visible body is more closely related to reindeer (animals) than moss.

Day 4, 2/28/23

Made a terrarium. The mold is from the moss milkshake I made. Hopefully it doesn't impede the growth of the moss. It doesn't seem to be affecting the reindeer lichen as you can see from the green spots. I'm surprised it's growing so quickly. Hopefully I don't have to cut it back to give the moss a chance to grow. I was hoping to make this a closed terrarium, but I'm also not willing to let my little orchid die, so it is what it is. We'll see how it goes!
