Countdown to Landcon/Jour -7: Nursery rhymes? Not exactly

With one week to go until the Landcon, I am reminiscing my long and deep rapport with that town and with France, in general, as I often do: through sounds. Music is everywhere and one's choices are always deeply personal, reflecting beloved people and particular moments in time.

The first song I ever sang by myself was taught by my grandfather. As for millions of people, it had to be this one:

It is very easy to learn and it basically tells the story of Friar James (Frère Jacques), who is supposed to go and ring the monastery's bells for what is called the matins, or morning prayer, but instead is sleeping on the job. I totally understand the poor friar and you would, too, since according to the Benedictine rule matins started at 2 a.m and lasted until dawn.

Little did we know, my grandfather and I, who composed it in earnest:

Whether this is an earlier adaptation of an Italian canzona or of a Hungarian folk tune (doubtful) does not really matter. Frère Jacques was included in Jean-Philippe Rameau's Treatise on Harmony, published in 1722. After being the protégé of several bankers and financiers, Rameau was appointed, in 1745, Musicien du Cabinet du Roy/King's Cabinet Musician at Versailles, following the enormous success of his opera, Platée. Which is really, really boring to listen to and virtually forgotten, which is - for once - perhaps not a bad thing.

Thus, millions of unsuspecting people all around the world begin their own musical journey with an ironic Baroque tune. I have never looked back, for Baroque is still my greatest love. And I consider this one of those kismet moments, which real meaning always reveals itself later and always completely at random.

But the nearest and dearest is the first French song Shipper Mom taught me:

She was always thickening her voice for the 'oh-oh-oh' in the chorus and I was over the moon clapping and shrieking and laughing like a blessed idiot - encore, maman, encore!- until she was bursting into laughter herself.

In the above recording, Maurice Chevalier is wrong. This is not a tune from Lorraine. It is a Medieval Celtic tune from Brittany, all the way. The song is the classical take on the French folk tale of a shepherd girl who meets the King's son marching to war. She is given a sprig of marjoram and instructed to plant it in a nearby field. If the sprig blooms, he will marry her. If not, tant pis, too bad - a girl can dream, right?

Of course, any resemblance to Cinderella's shoe trial is absolutely explicable. Charles Perrault just collected these fairy tales and then the Brothers Grimm made them universal.

Next came the very limited French music available to someone growing up in a gruesome dictatorship, during the Eighties. It wasn't that bad, but it was delightfully outdated. These still make me overly and cheaply sentimental, but about all of them - tomorrow.

saw your post about the tropical milkweed, and wanted to add that butterfly bush is invasive and bad for our butterflies, despite it's name! it is not a host plant for any of our native species, and attracting them to it does not allow for reproduction. also, it can redirect pollinators from our native plant species, causing ecosystem problems as a whole. i thought this might be useful information for people to know, since the name trips people up and it's still being commonly planted!

Ah yes, this as well!

I do find Butterfly Bush itself a bit frustrating--I know its invasive, but half the time when I'm trying to find an easy-to-reference list of suggested pollinator garden plants, Butterfly Bush is on the list. There's infertile varieties that can't reproduce--but they aren't always labeled as such, and even if you do have a variety that reproduces it's not always in your yard so you're not the one being affected by its spread per-say but it's still affecting the larger local ecosystem.

Though honestly half that problem is with big box stores/nurseries in general. Because sometimes people who want to start a pollinator garden aren't gonna google 'hey what should I put in a pollinator garden?' they just go to their nearest nursery and pick what looks pretty. Or they'll go to said nursery and ask someone working at that nursery what they should plant. And if the person working at that nursery knows a lot about pollinator gardening, that's grand! That's great! But also in either of these situations, if someone goes to a nursery like 'ooh I wanna plant things for butterflies! Oh! Butterfly bush! That's gotta be good for butterflies, right? Let's buy two!' what's gonna stop them? It's not like the nursery employees are gonna go 'uhm madam don't buy this plant that we sell and give us money actually'

And like people'll make the argument that 'oh people should do more research into native plants before they do things!!' or 'oh people should only shop at native plant nurseries how dare they buy from Lowes or Home Depot or Walmart or someplace!' but I cannot emphasize enough how much a lot of people A: don't even know or have heard of the concept of native vs invasive plants let alone would think to google that or B: are just busy and impulsive, and then also C: are not lucky enough to have the greatest native nurseries in the state down the street

Like invisible hand of the market convincing stores to stop selling invasive plants is not how things work that's never how things have worked that's like expecting the invisible hand of the market to convince manufacturers to use less plastic or treat chickens better.

I have gotten off topic. Butterfly bush also bad yes. Maybe I'll make a post that's like 'ooooh here are a big list of plants to avoid putting in your pollinator garden' or something but the funky thing about that is it'd also vary depending on where you are? Like I only know about the states and even then you've got some plants that are native in some parts of the states that you really shouldn't fucking plant like 2 or 3 states over, yknow?

Uhhhhhhhhhh im shutting up now

Seren's Studies: Odd Squad UK -- "A Dicey Situation" Episode Followup, Part 1

Captain O origins episode! "Totally Odd Squad" Mk. II! Call it what you like, I'm just hoping this is good. After the hell that was "Mission O Possible", I like to be prepared. Almost anything could surpass that, really.

Let's dive in below the break! (Pun unintended.)

...It's another Tasha episode.

I can hear that stupid "oh no" TikTok song playing as I fucking type this. I'm not confident after "The Triangle Sisters". I'm praying to Don't-Fuck-This-Up-God.

Hey. Hey. You guys remember when Otis threw a fit because Rebecca was exploiting Odd Squad for moving services?

This is just as egregious and yet will go entirely undetected. You don't need two pseudo-government agents to pull up Google Maps and punch in the location of the nearest Aldi's, for God sakes.

I see this milk came from the same cow that the Town Baker's milk came from.

I'd go investigate that cow, really.

You guys also remember Otis giving therapy to a plant?

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS BUT IT'S MILK. And it's just as amusing here as it was there.

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!"

Thank you, edutainment overlords, for this obligatory healthy eating message.

Asshole cereal box is making up lies for himself, methinks. Dude just tipped over on his own the second his owner picked up the milk pitcher.

hhhhheeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY THIS AIN'T MY SWAMPS 'N GATORS. WHERE'S MY SWAMPS 'N GATORS YOU CHUCKWADS.

...No but seriously what is this game and why does it look like Odd Squad Risk to me.

I remember when there was a brief shot of Oona failing at chess and Oprah telling her that's not how the game is played.

That was fun.

This is fun too, and nice to see, but it doesn't hit the same.

Good segue. Not as good as Oprah calling everyone out on their RPS strategies.

(You will see me make a lot of TOS cracks and references. I will not regret a single one of 'em.)

Hot damn, she can dim the lights with her mind! That's craaaaaaaaaaaazeeeeeeeeeeeeee-

So that would make her ship the Odd Squad Odd Squad.

Instead of Screw Steamer Odd Squad, or Steam Ship Odd Squad, both of which sound much better.

And are actually canon in the franchise.

(No, really. Go listen to the Squadcast. The S.S. Odd Squad is a 100% canon ship.)

Honestly, if you had told me about a year ago that that sailor in that promo picture SSE put out was a chef named Osgood, I'd have laughed at you.

RIP to the days when I thought that sailor was an assistant of Captain O's and not her first mate.

Ohhhh, a wavy flashback effect! Standard in a ton of shows, but Odd Squad has never really employed it as far as I'm aware. Nice to see they're going to effect basics!

Aside from that, wow that is...a tiny ship. Tinier than I was expecting. I was expecting something huge and not...y'know...a little BB thing.

I'm sorry, I just did an entire fuck-ass wheeze at her saying SHE KNEW OSGOOD SINCE NURSERY SCHOOL.

These two ARE FUCKING CHILDHOOD FRIENDS.

Genuinely fucking flabbergasted, because it's rare that we get childhood friends who were main characters in this franchise and joined Odd Squad together. Not even Olive and Otto can attest to that! Or Olympia and Otis!

Best bit in the entire episode so far bar nearly none.

I mean...on the plus side, at least he only has two mouths to feed.

That being said, I will once again raise the issue of there being couch cushions in a ship like that.

...Goldfish.

Huge-ass Goldfish.

You can't fool me.

They're Goldfish.

If there is one thing I utterly despise about Captain O as a character, it's the stupid euphemisms.

They're not amusing. They're not funny. I've heard better from other characters.

Okay, a shell phone is actually pretty clever. One point to Tasha, and don't make me revoke it as quickly as I did last time.

(Choosing to overlook the fact that there's an Admiral because...I mean...pretty standard sailor stuff. And me and other fans can work with the lore.)

Definitely not the intent, but I can't stop reading this line as utterly sarcastic since Captain O did a hard aversion off the "Newhart Phone Call" cliff.

"So this look isn't a fashion choice?"

Osgood, you poor Ohlm-like sonuvagun.

No, sir, actually those are holes. They got depth to 'em. Swiss cheese is not made with polka dots.

"See? You're a fashion trendsetter."

Ohhhhh it's like...the woman in "Double O Trouble"...but 's...fuckin' polka dots...

Great, I hate it, thanks.

*squints*

*more*

*even more*

...Bitch that is a cluster of fucking trees. That is not an island. Now how and why would you spend pounds on a fucking CLUSTER OF TRE-

THIS IS HOW THEY CHOOSE TO REMIND US THAT ORLI AND OZZIE ARE STILL HERE?????? WITH THE OBLIGATORY MATH LESSON?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh piss ALL the fuckin' way off.

If this is gonna have a lesson at the end, like in "The Weight of the World Depends on Orla", I'm going to lose my fuckin' mind.

Because, for all that Season 3 sucks, that episode was actually pretty solid.

it was just her and osgood

this guy shows up

not even the two canon characters from the odd squadcast they could've used

...I get it. You need someone to steer the ship. Fine. But for the love of God, just include the one driving the boat in your roll call!

I'm...I'm so tired. We are halfway into this episode. I am tired.

I honestly can't be bothered to ask why this woman has a rotary phone and how the fuck it can get service out here where there would, in most other instances, be no phone lines. Or electricity. OR FUCKING SPEAKERPHONE.

I do like the pirate getup Dottie here has going on, though.

Well, the last time a villain alleged to not have a pattern...they had a pattern.

I don't expect Dottie to be much different in that regard.

ohhhhhh oodelallyoohdelally it's the chekhov's gun wheeeeeeeeeeeeee-

She spun in the chair for all of time, bored out of her wits.

(On to Part 2!)

[aurborsau]

Got a favorite silverusso omegaverse headcanon? :D

Oh well I’m glad you asked.

I’ve been thinking about a handmaides tale au for this paring for a little awhile. I briefly touched on it on the Silverusso discord channel.

Daniel as a handmaid (made by me)

(For anyone unfamiliar with the Handmade’s Tale^^)

Warning/s: angst, attempted assault,

Paring/s: Daniel LaRusso/Terry silver, Daniel LaRusso/Johnny Lawrence

Daniel was the youngest of the handmaids. The only one who hasn’t previously been with child, a virgin won omega. That’s why he was sent to bear children for only the highest-ranking commander in Gilead, Terry Silver. He was surprisingly welcoming to Daniel upon his arrival, always finding ways to spend time with the omega, sneaking him gifts here and there. He’s a very attentive listener, surprising Daniel with his very own garden to do with as he pleases. Even planting roses because he remembered Daniel telling him that those were his mother’s favorite.

However, the wife did not share the same sentiment towards Daniel. She mostly stayed in her room or busied herself with preparing the nursery, making it clear that she was displeased with the omega's presence.

Daniel quickly became became acquainted with Johnny, the guardian that’s been appointed to commander Silver’s home. While Terry was away on “important business for the sake of the future of Gilead.” he’d spend his free time getting to know the beta. Johnny would help Daniel with the garden, getting the supplies, doing all the heavy lifting. He enjoyed his company, it was nice to have a friend in this fucked up world, someone he could trust.

Daniel had just finished preparing for bed, luxuriating in the expensive bath salts gifted to him by Terry. Slipping into a delicate lace nightgown also given to him by the man himself, he emerged from the bathroom only to be greeted by an unexpected visitor. Johnny sat on the edge of the bed, waiting. His eyes widening at the sight of Daniel without his customary robes, his body now on full display.

Locking the door, Johnny pressed the frightened Omega against the nearest wall with considerable force, “Johnny what are you doing?” He stuttered. Without warning, Johnny leaned in for a forceful kiss, evoking a whimper from Daniel. Desperate to escape, Daniel struggled, but Johnny's strong grip held him firmly in place. “You know you want this Danny. I see the way you look at me.” He panics now. Terry was the only one who would call him Danny, a right reserved for his Alpha. “Get… get off me!” He uses all the strength he could muster to push Johnny off of him. He sought refuge in the bathroom, locking the door behind him. Tears streamed down his face as he slid down the door, haunted by the primal desire he had seen in Johnny's eyes. The same look in Terry eyes during his first ceremony. It scared him, made him feel completely and utterly helpless at his mercy.

‘Oh god, what is Terry going to say?’ He panicked. The scent of the beta would surely be detected by Terry, and although he’s mad at Johnny right now he can’t let his death be on his conscience. He’d surely be punished. Hell, Terry would kill the beta himself with his bare hands. Fortunately, there were no visible marks or bruises left by Johnny, and with another careful wash and a spritz of the flowery perfume Terry had given him, Daniel hoped to erase any lingering traces of the beta's presence.

He’d been ignoring Johnny the next week, he couldn’t risk being in the same vicinity as the beta, no matter how lonely he got. When Terry returned from his ventures, He’d invited Daniel into his study like he did every night. “Baby I want to take you somewhere. Somewhere where we can finally be alone.” He pulls the boy onto his lap. Daniel only prays the man can’t sense his apprehension. “What do you have in mind… sir?” He looks up at the Alpha with those huge brown eyes that made the man weak in the knees. “It’s a surprise.” He leans in to brush his lips against the shell of his ear. “Why don’t you just go put on the outfit I have picked out for you and meet me by the car.” Following Terry's instructions, Daniel slipped into a little black number laying on his bed. As he descended the stairs, Terry stood there, smirking at the sight. “It’s a shame your always covered in those robes. A beauty this rare should be celebrated, not hidden.” Terry admires the boy, placing his hand on the small of his back to guide him to the car. There, Johnny stands, opening the door for the pair before getting into the drivers seat. “Something wrong?” Terry questions when he sees the apprehension in Daniel’s eyes, and the blush that creeps onto his face. “What? Yeah no I’m fine. I’m just a little nervous is all.” Which is half the truth. He can’t keep his eyes off Johnny, thinking back to that night in his room and cringing at the memory. “Come here.” Terry pulls the boy onto his lap. “I’ve missed this. You look so gorgeous tonight, I wish I could take you right here.” Terry leans in to whisper in his ear. “Cum in that pretty little ass.” Daniel's eyes met Johnny's through the rearview mirror, his jealousy apparent. Daniel couldn't resist pushing further. “Why can’t you.” He could see Johnny’s fist tighten on the steering wheel, that only encouraging Daniel to go on. "I've been so lonely without you. I miss the way you claimed me, made me yours," Daniel whispered, biting his lip as he hoped to sound seductive enough. Shamelessly, he palmed

Terry through his pants, eliciting a deep groan from the older man. In response, a firm hand pulled Daniel's head into a sloppy, passionate kiss. The wet sound resonating in the confined space as Terry's tongue explored his mouth, asserting his dominance. Breaking away from the kiss, Daniel climbed onto his knees between Terry's spread legs, determined to please him. "I want to make you feel good. You deserve it," he cooed, playing on the man’s ego as he skillfully unzipped Terry's pants without breaking eye contact. With a stroke of his heavy shaft, Daniel placed the head between his wet lips.

"Fuck, baby, work those pretty lips for me.

Good boy," Terry praised, lost in the moment.

Suddenly, the car swerved, causing Daniel to accidentally graze his teeth along Terry's shaft. "Will you keep your eyes on the road, Mr. Lawrence?" Terry angrily ordered.

Johnny's knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel, desperately attempting to shift his attention back to the road and away from the scene unfolding in the backseat.

Sighing, “it’s ok, keep going baby.” Terry guides Daniel’s head back onto his cock by his hair. Soon busting a load deep in his throat. He pulled the boy back onto his lap, wiping away the tears that stained his cheeks. “You did so good, sweetheart.” He tucks Daniel’s loose bangs behind his ear. Hiccuping weakly, Terry caresses his trembling tummy. “Your going to look so beautiful when your big and plump with my child.” , looking over at the front seat to see the beta practically fuming. “Your body was made for me Danny.” He places a kiss on each of his tear stained cheeks. “And I intend to ravish it.”

(The end was kinda rushed but lmk if y’all want more of this au.)

Because of the most recent rb:

An apocalyptic world I made up. Mc up there is listening to music late at night, when suddenly cir family wakes up and starts shambling to the front door–But Something's Wrong oooooooo. Their eyes are glowing a whitish-blue, and they don't seem to notice cim when ci puts cir hand on their shoulders. Ci hides in a doorway to see what's happening. When cir little brother opens the door, a giant obsidian Creature is waiting, and promptly devours mc's numb, unresponsive family. How shocking! Ci quickly creeps to a hiding spot, but in cir panic, one of cir earbuds falls out. Ci can hear in the exposed ear a soft whirring, so soft, so gentle, so calming and friendly. It's only the music still playing in cir other ear that saves cim from being completely carried away. Recognizing this, ci sluggishly replaces the earbud, and immediately cir mind is clear again- just in time to see that the Creature has entered the room, and begun to make its way towards cim. As soon as the earbud is fully in, however, the Creature lifts its satellite-dish-like head and turns it around, looking confused. It circles the room, its head swiveling frantically like some dog or cat trying to find a smell, and as it passes mc, it's all ci can do to keep quiet, but it finds nothing and leaves.

After a millenium, or perhaps a millisecond, of waiting, mc leaves cir hiding spot and starts to pack a backpack. A flashlight, some batteries, some food. Ci also seeks out cir cat, and finds her hiding beneath the couch, ears flattened against her skull, pupils and fur blown all the way up. She calms a bit at mc's soft, feathery soft murmuring, recognizing her name and the voice who spoke it, but refuses to leave her spot until mc opens up a can of tuna. After she's swallowed all of the can's contents, eyes and ears darting here and there, she's calm enough that mc can gently lower her into the backpack.

Ci creeps out the open door and makes cir way to the nearby shopping district, ducking between shadows with cir hands plastered to cir ears, desperately keeping the earbuds. Through them, ci occasionally hears loud metal or rap playing, sometimes from cars with huddled and shaking people, sometimes from other wanderers who clutch little bluetooth speakers in their white-knuckled hands. From cir place in the shadows, ci notices that the Creatures–there are so many Creatures–tend to take a wide berth around those beacons of presumably earsplitting melodies. After ci passes the empty street and enters the nearest electronics store, ci's grateful to find that, even though all of the speakers have been looted, there are still noise-cancelling headphones left. Ci takes three pairs, hanging two around cir neck and putting one over cir ears before swiftly switching the plugs in cir phone's jack. Feeling safer, ci flits as smoothly as ci can to the convenience store, opens a can of wet food for the cat, and formulates a plan over a bottle of water and some donuts.

Ci makes cir way back home, grabs cir little brother's acoustic guitar and tuner, and loads everything securely into a wagon, which ci attaches behind cir bike. Ci raids the nearest plant nursery for as many crops and medicinal herbs as ci can fit, then the bookstore for guidebooks for how to grow and use them, and follows the river out of town, away from the Creatures.

Out in the country, ci builds a little house out of materials ci finds. Ci spends cir nights awake, slamming away at the guitar's strings and singing at the top of cir lungs until ci's hoarse, and spends the rest of it with cir headphones on, humming to cirself. During the mornings and evenings, ci plants cir crops and maps out the area. Daytime, now marked by a sun which hangs like a pendant of onyx in the white sky, is the only time it's safe to sleep.

And that's it. Mc lives alone on a little sanctuary with cir cat, offering asylum to those who come across cim.

Hilarious with more than a hint of truth

🚨😂 Public service announcement

If you are new to Georgia, we are about to experience a “ Georgia Winter”. This is 6 or 7 days of cold, maybe some ice ❄️☃️and snow🌨. Meteorologist will threaten snow, And It may snow and it may not, but if they say 2 inches it could be 10 or it could be 1/2”. It doesn’t matter how much ❄️ Snow it is, we’ll all freak out 🤦‍♀️ because we don’t see snow often.

The threat of snow (or ice) is your prompt to head to the grocery store and buy milk 🥛, eggs 🥚and bread 🍞. It doesn’t matter if you need these items or not you will just buy them 🤷‍♀️ (milk sandwiches🥪 anyone 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣). It’s just what we do. Rest assured that everyone in town will be there.

You’ll also need to make a mad dash for faucet covers and finding them and getting out of the store will be like an episode of the hunger games 😂 You’re in the redneck district. 🤷‍♀️😂🤣🤪

Don’t look for a sled. You won’t find one. In the rare chance we get enough ice or snow to sled grab some cardboard 📦 or a trash 🗑 can lid and go find the nearest hill.

Just go with it.

You’ll be fine. 😳

We don’t have equipment to handle the winter and weather. The roads will be a mess and even though the state has been telling you for a week they’re ready, they’re not and it won’t work. Just stay home if you can and if you can’t just come to terms with the fact that nobody here knows how to drive in snow and ice.

Whatever you do, DO NOT⚠️🚫 talk about snow tires.

If you happen to slide off the road or get stuck, turn your flashers on, take a deep breath and wait. Two Dudes 🧔‍♂️👨‍🦰 in a four wheel drive truck will be along in no time to offer assistance. Don’t try to help them, they live for this stuff 😂🤪, and will do what they can to get you back on the road. If either one of them screams “hey y’all watch this " just get back and get your phone out and start recording, you’ll probably have a viral video for TicTok later 🤷‍♀️😂

No matter what you do, don’t talk about how they did it back home in any of these scenarios.

Nobody cares.

You live in Georgia now.

Georgians know they live in the greatest state in the country and it’s our way or the highway.

When we act like we’re going to die and start to complain about the 7 days of winter just shut up, we’re serious and we don’t care how much you love it.

You’ll be back in flip flops 🩴 within a week to ten days and it’ll be nice until right around Easter 🐰.

Georgia’s “second winter” will be 2 or 3 days and will hit right around Easter🐰, usually the week before or the week after. This will hit right around the time you plant flowers and a garden🍅🌽🫑🥒🫛

We know you’re not from around here when we see you’ve planted flowers before Easter and before the “second winter” has hit.

This is why all the people at the nursery don’t sound like us when you’re shopping for plants.

We know better.

During second winter it’ll go from 70 to 25 and you’ll experience all four seasons in one day.

This too shall pass, get used to it and when second winter is over you can enjoy the 3-4 Days🤪 of “spring”🌈☔️⚘️🪻 before summer gets here and it’ll be melt your face off 🥵hot until sometime around Halloween 👻🎃.

All 💯 Facts.

Enjoy 😉 🤷‍♀️😂

Late Happy WBW!

Tell me about plants in your world. Anything about them!

Hi, Aki! Have I mentioned how obsessed I am with your icon? The little ghosties are so adorable.

I think I've already talked enough about the Halara flower, so today I'm going to go into some detail on trees. Most of the trees in the mountain forests of Halara are thick and sturdy with big leaves that change color as you would expect. But there used to be one particular type of tree, a form of aspen except the leaves were reddish instead of yellowish and they grew best on the valley side of the mountain.

There was a unique symbiotic relationship between these trees and slimes. Slimes reproduce by leaving little buds, part of their bodies, behind. These trees were the only things that the buds could grow on safeley--they were the perfect texture for them to cling to, they were rich in exactly the right nutrients for them to grow well, they were the right shape to protect them from the elements, etc.

The problem is that several hundred years before the start of the story, these trees started going extinct. There was some deforestation, but that wasn't the main problem. The problem was that the trees were getting sick and it spread between them quickly, killing off any slime buds growing on them. Within 2 slime generations, they no longer had a way to reproduce. Not with any degree of certainty, at least; other trees could be used but buds were more likely to die and almost certain to be weak as an adult.

Prior to this the slimes had been fairly isolated from the other mountain beings, but they were desperate and sought help from the beings nearest to them geographically, the elms. Who, it turned out, happen to have a similar blend of nutrients in their skin and can protect any buds growing on them because they can think and plan. So they agreed to act as nurseries for (not yet sentient) slime buds. It also turned out the slime buds are good for healing wounds, so they kind of use them as tiny cute bandaids.

Caring for Monstera Plants in New Zealand

Monstera plants thrive when provided with the right conditions. Here’s how to keep your plant healthy:

Light: Place your Monstera in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light may hinder growth.

Watering: Water thoroughly but allow the topsoil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Humidity: Monsteras love humidity. Consider misting your plant or using a humidifier during drier months.

Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 18°C and 27°C.

Fertilizer: Feed your Monstera with a balanced liquid fertilizer every month during spring and summer.

Repotting: Repot your Monstera every 1-2 years to accommodate its growing roots.

Where to Buy Monstera Plants in New Zealand

New Zealand is home to numerous plant nurseries and online stores where you can find high-quality Monstera plants:

Local Garden Centres: Visit your nearest garden centre to choose from a variety of Monstera plants.

Online Stores: Websites like Plant Barn and Kings Plant Barn offer nationwide delivery.

Social Media Marketplaces: Many plant enthusiasts in New Zealand sell rare Monstera varieties through Facebook groups and Instagram.

Styling Monstera Plants in Your Home

Monsteras are versatile when it comes to styling. Here are a few ideas:

Living Rooms: Use a large Monstera as a focal point in a spacious room.

Bedrooms: Smaller varieties like Monstera Adansonii can add a touch of greenery to your bedside table.

Bathrooms: Place your Monstera in a bright bathroom for a tropical vibe.

Troubleshooting Common Monstera Problems

Yellow Leaves: Often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage.

Brown Tips: Can indicate underwatering or low humidity.

Pest Issues: Look out for common pests like spider mites and treat them with insecticidal soap.

Conclusion

Monstera plants are a must-have for any plant lover in New Zealand. With their striking appearance and easy care requirements, they bring a piece of the tropics into your home. Whether you’re looking to start your indoor garden or add to your existing collection, a Monstera plant is always a great choice.

Sid's Character Asks Pt. 5: Screivalne Auspicar!

@entropyking come get your sassy lost soldier

👕Appearance

What is your character's favorite physical trait they possess?

Screivalne appreciates her sense of coordination best, being a marksman pilot and all. Past that, he's quite proud of his eyes (they're naturally lilac! Now how often do you see that.)

What would your character wear if they were told they had to gussy up?

If you ask her to go to a party Screi will drape her willow-branch-self in the slinkiest dress known to mankind and act like she's cooking. I'm really sorry for everyone involved.

Does your character have a physical trait that they're known for?

The most smug grin in the Annapurna line.

What are your character's opinion on scars?

As a bit of an outlier in this prompt so far, Screi generally prides herself on not having any, and so with a couple notable exceptions finds them to be something worth avoiding. She's got a decent chunk taken out of her lip, though, and she hasn't done anything about that one.

📦Objects

What type of object is likely to catch your character's attention?

A scion of SSC such as this prides himself on a sense of aesthetic; things that are made elegantly, which combine form and function, are often his favorite. He's also a fan of the low, unearthly light which things attuned to the Aunic Firmament give off on occasion.

Does your character prefer to give or receive gifts?

If you give Screivalne a gift he will preen all day, so be warned.

🍽️Food and Drink

How big is your character's appetite?

She's a bit of a vulture when it comes to food, honestly. She picks here and there, chooses her bites carefully. Has been recently surrounded by a bunch of what are essentially space-slavic grandmas so that might be forced to change soon.

Does your character consider eating fun?

Good food is to be appreciated! However, see the above in terms of what sort of food is to be prized.

What is a childhood meal your character cherishes?

Never had much of the kind of upbringing that would have one cherish a particular meal. Besides, everything about Screi's pickiness now was tenfold back then.

🌤️Weather and Nature

What would your character do if they were suddenly caught in the rain?

She'd find the nearest cover and wait it out, humming all the while. If Anais was in her mech, of course, perhaps she'd play at a dance with the droplets.

Is there a natural phenomenon that scares your character?

So back on her home planet, there was a kind of creeping vine with exploding seedpods, like with witch hazel! Except these ones make a very high-pitched sound when the go off, and they're quite big. He still gets jumpy around seeing them.

Is your character good with plants?

Oh, incredibly. For a long time it was his only real hobby outside of work, dedicating a whole room of the very limited space on the ship to a nursery of plants from all sorts of worlds. I daresay Screivalne prefers most plants to animals.

How willing would your character be to nap outside?

Not particularly, no. He can go and see the outdoors whenever he likes, but with bed so nearby it just seems silly.

What animal would your character say best represents them?

Oh, it can't be a moss or perhaps a flowering tree? No? …Alright, then. Maybe a quail, that feels right.

🤝Community and Relationships

Does your character prefer company or solitude when sick?

PAMPER👏THIS👏NEEDY👏MOTHERFUCKER👏

Is your character upfront about their feelings?

Generally, no. You've gotta chip away at that durable upper crust upbringing first.

Who would your character first seek if they needed medical help?

He's a bit of a bitch, but his ship's NHP, Sonata would be the best person to apprise of the situation.

Actually, scratch that. Mutare is Sonata's co-captain and actually has a bedside manner, she'd choose Mute.

Who is your character most honest with?

As far as anyone goes, that'd be her longtime combat partner, and newfound husband, Ciel.

How likely is it for your character to initiate a friendship?

Oh, incredibly unlikely. You need to just about throw her into a social situation and hope that the SSC constellar charm doesn't make people just slide right off.

Where is your character's comfort place?

By Ciel's side.

Is there a habit your character has that they learned from someone else?

He bites when he's stressed. Ciel taught him first.

Does your character have people they think would worry about them if they got injured? Who would your character say knows them best?

He'd hope that his crew would worry about him, given all they've made it through. Part of him might worry she's done her whole "arm's length" dynamic too well, though.

What is your character's favorite form of affection?

Annoying, bordering on genuinely mean, banter. You really have to read between the lines.

Does your character enjoy celebrating holidays?

The day really isn't important, it's what she's doing that warrants celebration or not. (This is a lie.)

What would it take for your character to get into a fight?

You wouldn't expect it, but Screi is a bit of a scrapper. May lose, but will make sure you don't enjoy it.

💓Mind, Body and Soul

What is a habit your character has that others might find cute?

I don't really know about 'cute', beyond the way he flusters when he's had. And even that's not all that charming… there's a lot of sputtering…

Are there particular sounds your character is fond of?

Exasperated groans. Especially her own.

Is your character more prone to fight or flight?

Flight, ideally. It's how she was trained, it's how she deals with harsh reality.

What words could tear your character down?

A very particular person saying "I don't need you anymore" would ruin her.

How well does your character act under pressure?

Screivalne will jump to take point faster than she maybe should, in those moments.

Is your character good at practicing self-care?

Screivalne deserves pampering, doesn't he? Why shouldn't he be the one to execute it sometimes?

What scents does your character find comforting?

Earthy, green smells. Conifers and jasmine and damp soil.

Does your character have any allergies?

Not at all! She was made to be genetically perfect, so allergies are out of the question.

Is your character a light, medium or heavy sleeper?

Screivalne is a light sleeper that will ensure you, dear unfortunate soul, also won't be getting much shut-eye.

Does your character have a sleep routine?

Given that she needs to be more or less dragged into bed by Ciel, no. A few missions way back when were actually slightly jeopardized by extreme sleep deprivation as a result.

Does your character have strong willpower?

Screivalne is, in a word, arrogant. Get her just right and she'll fold, though– strong, but brittle.

How does your character relax?

Lounging around, tending to her plants, and generally trying to think as little as possible otherwise. Maybe jerking off for want of something to do, that's a treasured pastime.

Is there a secret thing your character longs to hear?

That she'll always be important.

How often does your character have nightmares?

More these days than before, yeah.

Are there scents your character dislikes?

Expensive perfumes! Why the fuck do they smell like that! Pick a damn scent and move on!

Is there a fear your character wants to learn to overcome?

Fear of what's become unavoidable.

🎲 Hobbies and Activities

What kind of games does your character most enjoy playing?

Not much of a gamer, this one, but she can do decently at chess.

Does your character have a secret hobby?

Most of her goings-on are secret in that you probably aren't close enough to her to know them, statistically speaking.

What is a talent your character wishes they had?

He wishes he was a better mechanic, although it's purely theoretical. He'd hate the callouses.

Is there an activity your character used to enjoy that they now dislike?

Battle's worn some of its glimmer, these days, but she'd be lying if she said she didn't enjoy it anymore.

What is a talent that your character is proud of?

In addition to swordfighting, she is a fairly good ballroom dancer.

What is a topic your character would be excited to talk about?

How to care for different varietals and mundalities of fern. She really likes ferns.

Has your character ever made something for themselves or someone else?

Here and there, yes. Really, 'grown' is a more fitting word.

What is your character’s opinion on cheating in games?

Okay if she does it.

How good is your character at following through on projects?

Generally quite good, as is needed for a contracted individual such as herself.

What’s an activity that reminds your character of someone else?

Biting people. I don't know how to explain this one if you haven't met her and Ciel then you won't get it.

Does your character prefer music or silence?

Silence. She likes having room to think, or to not.

What is a topic your character wouldn't want to talk about?For all she goes on and on, frankly, Screivalne isn't much of a conversationalist. The less that you and her end up speaking, the more likely it is she likes– no, trusts you.
