Plant of the Day

Tuesday 21 January 2025

The new stems of Cornus sericea 'Cardinal' (red osier dogwood) create bright thickets of yellow to orange-red stems. This suckering, deciduous shrub also provides autumn colour and will grow in most soil conditions in sun or partial shade.

give me a batman comic where their trauma actually affects them.

bruce gets to be affected by trauma. his parents haunting his narrative and him making it everyone’s problem. his decline after jason died. his hatred of guns. damian does, too. his hallucinations of alfred. the inner turmoil he goes through almost everytime he sees talia.

but it’s literally only them except for a select few comics. with everyone else, everything is forgotten when the next run starts.

give me a dick grayson who is so terrified of loss from losing so many people that he worries himself sick everytime any of his siblings don’t answer a phone call.

give me a jason todd who can’t stand to be in small spaces due to waking up in a coffin and digging himself out of his own grave.

give me a stephanie brown who still thinks about her child everytime she sees a baby.

give me a tim drake who has to force himself not to flinch everytime there’s an explosion because of how many people he killed in the league of assassin bombings.

give me a cassandra cain that reverts back to silence when she gets hit with fear gas.

give me a duke thomas that spends every spare second he has researching potential cures for his parents.

like?? give me a comic where they’re human.

I personally am obsessed with Embryonic Stem Cells, so I decided to incorporate that into my blorbos. (I hope I didn't overdo the accent)

Oh! Oh! Oh! Could I request a sketch?!?!?!

Can I request a bada$$ Finwë? Either at Cuiviénen or Formenos - both are good. I just think he's neat. Which isn't the most popular opinion in the Fëanárion section. (And, I'll admit, it's a rather recent development.)

“So eager for death, oh failed King?”

“Failed? Don’t you know all the best stories begin with an ending?”

Finwë!!! Yes. Join us. I love him so much, he’s so cool. This guy survived Cuivienen when others were being dragged or tricked to their dooms, then successfully led his people to Aman and was chosen as their King. Not to mention was the only one able to stand firm against the overwhelming fear Morgoth and Ungoliant wrought.

He must have some serious skill and resistance. Was probably one of the best fighters in Aman, especially with genuine experience fighting against the Darkness.

So here’s all that embodied in a scene at Formenos just before his death.

Arthur moves like he's got a carrot on a stick. He's the embodiment of snooping around to me. He just. Sticks his head everywhere. And his beautiful nose is like the leading point. Intrigued and nosy and always curious. But also like his legs just cannot keep up with his head. Terribly similar to a dog, either way.

i don’t care what you tell me. i don’t care what canon you cite: jason is a responsible gun owner.

his safes are always locked, and he’s got his guns and ammo stored separately. his guns never just sit around loaded except the one he uses for home security and it’s still locked up in a safe by his bed. he doesn’t point it at anyone he isn’t prepared to fatally shoot.

jason uses guns but he’s not an idiot.

not to get dramatic but one of copia’s dissociative translations in his troubled head was seeing sister imperator’s saucer of pills as a mug of tea and biscuits. he’s clearly an unreliable narrator who sees things we can’t trust to be true; going off of this, can we trust that the mug of tea he was handed before the encore was actually that? who’s got time to down a whole mug of hot tea when you’ve still got three songs to perform? isn’t it a strange beverage to give him out of all the other options? don't get me wrong i'm absolutely not being serious here (also not insinuating that copia is ill like seestor, i'm going down the psychological route) but what i'm saying is he could have been handed medication he didn't want to acknowledge

This cultivar of Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens (Swiss chard) had dramatic red stems. This group of cultivated beets can produce an edible crop all year round and are known for their resistance to bolting (running to flower and seed). These plants were being grown on a ‘hugelkultur’ (hill culture) which is a no-dig raised bed filled with biomass (wood, leaves, cardboard and other compost) and finished with soil. This feature holds moisture, builds fertility and maximises the surface area.

Have more doodles planned besides this one, but I figured I'd share this already :)

It was only a few days ago I wrote about Iris 'Blue Note' (Reticulata) but my friend had such a lovely display of this small, early bulb, protected by a frame of Cornus alba (dogwood) stems, that here it is again!
