Hi! First time caller here.

I guess I just wanted to ask what you think about the fact that in Caduceus comic / whole series the whole Clay family is pink haired? I can't really pinpoint the source now, but I thought it was dyed pink? Like there was a canon scene about it, from what my memory seems to tell me, with the meat lady in Balenpost, but I checked now and it's not it. Wasn't there something like that, a mention that Cad was using special mushrooms from the Grove or something like that for it? Is that just some fanon I'm thinking of?

Thank you for your service as the number one blog about our favourite firbolg o7

hi :- ) !! caduceus' hair is dyed, canonically. i dont remember when he mentions it but its canon, thats why it changes in the xhorhas arc, lack of sunlight presumably but also he points out (idr which episode, but while theyre in xhorhas and have their lvl 10 outfits) that its because of the different lichens he has growing on him. my impression was always that the rest of his family (minus his dad who is the one that married into the family and has grey hair) naturally has pink hair - clarabelle even dyes colours over her pink hair to make it rainbow. idk if that bits canon like textually (that the rest of them have pink hair naturally), so they could also be dyeing it for sure, but thats just what i thought the case was. maybe because cad points out that even in his weird family hes sort of an odd one out. which is saying something bc belle is a little weirdo

o7 no problam

FOTD #061 : pink earth lichen! (dibaeis baeomyces)

pink earth lichen is a fruticose lichen in the family icmadophilaceae. it occurs throughout eastern north america, often growing directly on unstable soils (e.g. loose sand / dry clay) & in full sun. it spreads quite quickly for a lichen !!

the big question : can i bite it?? like most lichens - this fungus is inedible</3

d. baeomyces description :

"d. baeomyces is characterized by bulbous pink apothecia, 1–4 mm in diameter, atop stalks no taller than 6 mm. the thallus may be grey or white, & may have a pinkish tinge."

look at this little baby. If anything happens to him, I'll kill everyone else in the game and then myself.

He took me so much fucking work to get. Finding the underground nest, preparing to kill the dragon in it, nearly dying so many times actually fighting them, then making a farm to make sure I have enough meat to keep him fed so he wont starve etc. etc

oh and building the fucking ridiculous platform on top of my ugly little base, so I have enough space to house him when he reaches stage 5.

thanks to the magic mirror update i’ve just learned that for the entire duration of my second playthrough (currently midway thru act 3) my tav (that im playing for the second time) has been rocking the wrong skin color. color blindness is real and it is so so evil

How would ptm jade react if Yuu told him about marine mushrooms?

I only know what wikipedia knows about marine mushrooms...unfortunately for yuu mind reading doesn't give them sudden infinite knowledge!

“You know, with as much as you...like mushrooms and stuff, I'm surprised you haven't mentioned anything about marine fungi.”

You felt a chill run down your spine and Jade's bi-colored eyes on you.

“Pardon?” Does my darling also love fungi? How could I have not known this?

You shifted in your seat, staring down at your notebook as you doodles between the margins. A small button mushroom that you'd absentmindedly drawn minded you of Jade.

And you just happened to be doing research with him for your group project in the library this day.

“Sorry, I just was thinking about it, and it's just surprising to me that you never had, like an aquarium type terrarium or something with them.”

You let out a nervous laugh, after all, it was just you two by yourselves. Riddle and Yev were busy with their dorms due to the Spelldrive Tournament, and your dorm still didn't technically qualify, since all your freshmen were officially in other dorms.

Such a wonderful laugh, I'd like to hear it more...

“Well, to my knowledge, they don't exist.” Jade leaned in, his eyes wide and full of excitement. “By chance, do such mushrooms exist in your world?”

Please tell me more! Tell me lies for all I care, so I may hear your voice...though you wouldn't lie about such things, would you?

You perked up. It was rare that you knew something Jade, or anyone at NRC, had no clue about. It probably wasn't intentional, but the way people would look at you when you had no clue about something make you feel dumb, even though you logically had no way of knowing even the most basic things of this world.

It was kinda nice to be the one to share knowledge with another person.

“Well, I don't know a lot, but they mostly exist in marine environments. I think a few hundred?” You leaned in closer, moving your notebook towards Jade as you started drawing again.

“I can't remember their names very well, but I've always been a more visual person anyways.” You drew a piece of driftwood, a snail, and a rock covered in lichen.

“This one grows in mangroves, usually on the places. But this one grows around the shell of a snail, who eats it. And sometimes lichen will grow with fungi, but I don't know a whole lot about them.”

You paused, pursing your lips in disappointment.

“Sorry, I don't know enough to tell you about them, I know how much you...”

Your words trailed off as you looked back up at Jade, who was resting his check against his palm. He was staring at you with faint smile, and soft, half lidded eyes and pink cheeks.

So beautiful...

Cheeks and chest going hot, you stared back, opening and closing your mouth as you tried to figure out how to respond.

“Uh, Jade, you're, uh, staring...”

Jade stiffened, straightening up and covering his mouth in embarrassment.

“My apologies. I was just....enraptured by your descriptions.” And you. “I don't mind that you aren't familiar, but I would like to heard more from you about marine fungi. Perhaps you can tell me all about your world's plant life? It never occurred to me that your world would evolve differently, but saying that now, it seems obvious.”

He smiled at you again, his teeth showing a bit more as he excitedly leaned in.

“You struggle in musicology, yes? Perhaps in exchange for your knowledge, I can help you with practice?”

Please say yes!

You paused. Various suggestive scenarios that seem more apt for a risqué site or story flashed through Jade's mind in giddy anticipation.

You know better. You know what Jade's hoping for. You shouldn't string him along, you're going to get embarrassed. You're going to get uncomfortable, you're...

Another daydream, one of you two curled over a book, as you leaned into Jade's side while his arm pulled you closer, invaded your mind like a parasite in your brain. He had a tender smile as you laughed at something he said, your free hand reached up to cradle his cheek.

Maybe parasite is a harsh word. When the thoughts Jade had were so sweet and soft, it almost made you want to give in.

Almost.

“It's okay, I'm just a choir member, so there's not much for me to improve on.” You could hear your more logical voice sigh in the back of your mind. “But I'm happy to share...if you help me figure out if the mushrooms growing behind Ramshackle are edible.”

I'm weak…

Jade blinked, processing what you said.

Really? “Really?” Even Jade seemed like he was anticipating your rejection.

“Yeah, why not.” You shrugged, Jade's internal excitement flooding into your subconscious and influencing your own emotions. “Means less money to spend on food, and I'm sure you know plenty of yummy recipes we can use if they do end up good!”

Jade rarely smiled, at least not genuine, bare-teethed smiles. Despite the sharpness of them, you weren't put off by them, or him, at all.

“I would be honored.”

the blightstaff ✸🪲

(for @artists-guild-of-exandria project !)

[Image ID: A stylised digital illustration of Caduceus from Critical role on a black background. He has a strong stance, holding the blight staff in front of him with a stern expression. his pink hair, clothes, the silk on his arm and sashes around his waist, are blowing back from the force of the staff's spell. the crystal on top of the staff is glowing bright purple with a halo of light around it, with turquoise beetles flying around and emerging from holes in it. the staff is planted in a patch of green grass, the same green grass and pink fungi around Caduceus' feet. He also has pink lichen all over his clothes and beetle chitin armour, tabi boots and sleeves. End ID.]
