more godhood AU rambling

while thinking of what the trio would get up to in 1500 years and an interesting idea came to mind

so, with all the humans gone, J, N, V and the solver are the last beings around that were on Earth before it got destroyed. Also, after that generation of old drones we see in canon are gone, no one on Copper 9 accept for those 4, Khan, and maybe Nori, will remember being on a planet that isn't just snow, ice, and dead trees (till of course they get some spaceships up and running, but I digress)

now, we've already established that N brought the immortal dogs back, but who's to say he has to stop there?

idea is that N makes it a personal project to work on bringing other animals back to the planet, and that V decides to do the same with plants. So, the two work together with some worker scientists to make the planet habitable to organic live again

I'm not sure how much progress they'd be able to make in 1500 year. It's a long time, sure, but this planet has had like 5 holes punched through its core. That kind of climate disaster is gonna take some time to fix

but I like to think that, eventuality, after spending years at the manor seeing all these plants and animals in books. The two get to see them in their new home as Copper 9 heals

Greetings, fellow travelers! 🌎

On this blog you will find wild stories, stunning photos, quotes, random gossip, whimsy & snark, from staff and visitors to:

Museums 🏛️

Science centers 🔭

Zoos 🐼

Aquariums 🦈

Botanical gardens 🌿

& related institutions.

I have some stories of my own to tell, and I want to hear about your experiences in these places, too!

About me: I just took early retirement after working for more than 25 years as the web designer, editor, and photographer for a natural history museum. I have a BA in anthropology and a master's in museum studies. I had graduate assistantships in the exhibits, entomology, and geology/paleontology departments of the university museum where I was working towards my degree. Before that, I worked as a sort of general assistant in a small science museum. Earlier still, I volunteered with the exhibits team at a science & nature center that also had a small zoo.

My parents were both scientists - mom was a high school biology teacher (and a botanist by training) and dad was a physicist. They both loved to travel, and we did a lot of that when I was a kid. We took a few cross-country road trips, and also took trips to Canada, France, the UK and Switzerland. I've done limited travel on my own to Germany and Denmark. I've been to museums and similar places on most of these trips. I plan to share my thoughts on those experiences here.

Please join me in exploring the world of museums!

I fucking love the idea of states or even nations working for places like nation parks or zoos so much

survived the trip with mum and even had fun most of the time. yay.

no further development in the emotional department tho, as expected. just defensiveness instead of curiosity and an open mind. and then I basically had to comfort her when she felt like she failed as a mother, because I couldn't trust her to be able to manage those emotions alone. she's never done emotional work on that level, so (:

the most devastating shit on earth is that i had a friend in middle school who was like my ride or die. but her only "social media" was Google Fucking Plus. so naturally i have lost her in the wastelands of that shitstorm. but i cannot find her ever again bc she has like The most common name on god's green earth so one facebook search for people with her name in the bronx yields like a million fucking results. so imagine if she's not even in the bronx anymore. 10 million results

metas.

floora: guessed in 15. got this far pretty quickly with weeping willow

Malpighiales

The Malpighiales comprise one of the largest orders of flowering plants, containing about 36 families and more than 16,000 species, about 7.8% of the eudicots.

which. so unhelpful. but eventually hinted for

Linaceae

Linaceae is a family of flowering plants. The family is cosmopolitan, and includes about 250 species in 14 genera, classified into two subfamilies: the Linoideae and Hugonioideae

well. well. i just know what linen is made of. /shrug. the latin or whatever.

zooaaaaa. oh yeah. snakes that arent snakes. boas that arent boas. but again. alphabet scrolling with advantage that. its early in the alphabet lol.

Sometimes, I get the feeling that birds are somewhat judgemental... Not that I mind 🤷‍♀️
