#very funny and super off topic but im currently writing a fic for my dragon au so XD

[fruitwanderer]

go off about the symbolism!!

Okay okay so like you know how Bdubs is tied to trees right? And also how he became a comfort character? Yeah, the plants, mainly trees, have never really been nice to him.

One way or another he just kinda gets hurt and mocked by the very thing that he's meant to protect, even getting possessed and later taunted by plants.

I wanna go into it some day, but I do got a fic somewhere on my sideblog I think? Like it's about his feelings and how I actually made the s5 possession into a curse because getting hurt and having to live with the mental and physical scars for years afterwards? That's absolutely my shit right there.

OH WAIT BEFORE I FORGET!! With the way I do dryads they're based on different trees and deer species, for example Gem is a birch reindeer. Bdubs' specific deer was Keys Deer (basically a small whitetail) but his tree is nonspecific being oaks. They're sturdy, but many oaks aren't oaks, along with that some are extremely poisonous. And like idk how to word it but having him under the extremely broad title of oak just FITS in a way I can't explain other than he simply is an oak.
