helloooooo :)) sliding in with a generic marvel-esque vaguely criminal organization landoscar au with background lestappen because I am nothing if not predictable
Oscar is their resident poison specialist (he makes new poisons, tests them, makes antidotes, etc. for the organization to use). His preference is plant based poisons, like belladonna and nightshade, because he graduated college with a botany degree and therefore has a lot of knowledge about them that he can put for use. He spends most of his time in his greenhouse full of toxic, beautiful plants that he tends too very, very carefully. They’re his babies.
There’s a whole backstory involved with how he came to join the organization that involves him accidentally killing his college roommate
Lando is a former gymnast turned espionage guy who also does theft on the side for funsies that works for the organization. Like vaguely cat woman-y? Obviously he’s super flexible and super good at his job because duh.
His favorite hobby is breaking into Oscar’s greenhouse via the windows and watching him work. Oscar is super fascinating to him, and he’s enamored with how absolutely brilliant this quiet, stoic boy, with maybe five facial expressions total is.
Lando sits there and listens to Oscar ramble about his complex science things. He doesn’t understand most of it ngl, but he loves the way Oscar’s face lights up when he goes on a long tangent about the chemical properties of cyanide and why it’s superior to arsenic.
Also sometimes lando brings Oscar random pretty shiny things that he stole that he thinks Oscar might like and leaves them on his desk, kind of like a crow. Oscar keeps all of them in a box under his bed. He looks at them when he feels down (he doesn’t tell lando that)
Oscar is equally obsessed with lando but this is already wayyyyyy too long so 😭 you just gotta trust me on this one
And then eventually, the rest of the people in the organization pick up on the growing landoscar feelings situation. Alex and George give lando a bunch of (loving and caring) grief about it. A bet between them is born. “$50 lando is too chicken to confess to Oscar by the end of the month”
Yada yada time skip a week or so and lando and Oscar FINALLY do something about the tension between them one night late in Oscar’s greenhouse, lando freshly back from a mission. Boom they kiss and then lando, being the idiot that he is, as soon as they pull apart, goes “lol George and Alex owe me $50 now”
Cue misunderstanding trope. “Oh you only kissed me for a bet?? You don’t actually have feelings for me 😔 I knew it was too good to be true.”
Lando realizes his mistake but Oscar’s already out the door, disappeared into the night.
And then Oscar gets kidnapped by the enemy 🤗 because he’d normally be more aware and vigilant and stuff but his emotions are really going through it so. The ransom note comes through the next day.
Gonna leave it on that because otherwise I will spiral into a full blown fic when I already have too many wips to finish
I'M SO????? HOW DID U JUST RANDOMLY SLIDE IN HERE WITH THIS???? i am so obsessed with these details my god the POISON? CATMAN ESPIONAGEGYMNAST? christ. and then lando leaving him little gifts like a crow. OSCAR ACCIDENTALLY K-WORDING HIS ROOMMATE (and possible guilt)?? the classic misunderstanding thingy "but oscar gets kidnapped" leading to a climactic rescue oh oh oh this is the stuff of dreams.
idk what to do with myself exactly cus this is so gorgeous. anyway have a moodboard for your efforts cus like my goodness this was lovely to read.
#landoscar#814#lemonadedino get back here#how can you craft something so beautiful and then leave me in meltdown#asks#this is so fun ahhhhh#i am so...#rly love the vibes#thinking fondly of They

Can you talk/elaborate more about your McCoy headcanons... I like hearing you talk about him
sry this took so long!
i think he never really believed in what he was taught religiously as a kid like he asked too many questions and was not satisfied with the answers but the fear still got to him, he was always high strung and sensitive and was bullied rly badly for it, he mostly hung out with his gramma who was the only person in his family who was nice to him, she was a healer and taught him everything he knew about herbalism. the intrusive gore stuff started at like 8-10 and by 12 he was living every day feeling like he had no skin or bones and that someone could just reach inside him and pull something out. if anyone threw him a punch he'd just crumple up on the floor in a ball shaking cus he felt like he was bleeding to death. he started stealing his dad's tools and making armour to wear under his clothes so no one could get to his insides which like. burned the fuck out of him in the heat but honestly very practical for a queer kid in georgia and he was able to start fighting back
he didn't have the vocab to explain to anyone what he was experiencing, all anyone ever saw was him blacking out at the mention of body parts so he was just called squeamish and everyone moved on while he got worse. then one day his gramma was cooking and he saw her cutting up tomatoes and lookked at them a little too long and slammed his head thru the drywall, and his dad went to hit him and she was like no no stop and took him into her greenhouse sat him down and was like you're old enough to know now i think. and she told him he was getting visions from god of what hell looks like + that both of them were being called to service. so he went heavy into evangelism at that point and it lasted a couple years, all the time he was still studying medicine in school, and then he had a massive breakdown because why hasn't god made it stop I'm doing what I'm supposed to. and his family control him and would never let him go get seen in a million years so he stole chemistry supplies from school and started trying to cook his own antipsychotics with herbs in the greenhouse because the kid is a visionary. did not fuckin work he got really sick from it and just kept going and going cus he felt he was so close to getting it right + ended up getting arrested and charged in hospital at some point down the line
then the space program came to his town and he was like please yes get me the fuck off this planet, and he didn't have anything to show for how smart he was because he was too sick to finish, and they looked thru his criminal record (cus thats how they find their starfleet candidates be real) and they were like hey listen, from age 16 u were in ur room trying to make fucking quetiapine from scratch, starfleet needs a freak like you
he met jim in organic chemistry and they got together, he eventually told him he joined starfleet to run away from god and jim was damn that's crazy i joined to meet god and pry my life back from his cold dead hands. and they were both like wow haha. and then they met spock and had this same conversation at the bar one time and spock drunk on cocoa pops was like if we're speaking metaphorically i believe i joined to make out with god sloppy style
*also also when bones is in recovery he fine tunes the stuff he was working on with the plants and sends it to his gramma who would never take meds in a billion years but because he made it himself with the bush knowledge she taught him she was down with it n he gets her better and they repair their relationship

Comeuppance
Reese and Jaune are enjoying a day out on the town, sitting on a greenhouse park bench looking through the comic books they just got together.
Reese: *Flipping through comics* Man, Scream King is the best! Really helps give tentacle monsters a good image. Surprisingly wholesome dude too, huh J-Man?... J-Man?
Jaune: Yeah totally... *only half heartedly answering as he tries to subtly check out the nearby yoga class, filled with a number of failry attractive women working on their flexibility.*
Reese: *Pouts at being ignored, but grows a wickedly evil grin when she has an idea, she takes a deep breath and-* OH MY GOD JAUNE! ARE YOU CHECKING OUT THAT GIRL’S ASS?!
The Entire Park: *Turns towards the two of them*
Jaune:
*Nervously laughs as he grabs his comics and slings Reese over his shoulder* hahahaha of course not. Don’t mind her everyone, she just forgot to take her medicine!
Reese: *Cackles like a witch as she’s carried off*
~O~O~O~O~O~
A few days later...
Jaune: C’mon Reese, you can’t afford to be tardy again.
Reese: *Rummaging through her drawers and closet* I’m trying to hurry! But I can’t find my pants! Where did all my clothes go?!
Jaune: *Feigns thinking, then snaps fingers.* Oh right! I forgot to mention, dorm was starting to smell abit, so I got up early today to do some extra laundry. Your pants must have got mixed in with the general load.
Reese: Well good going dude! Now what am I supposed to wear?! Cordovin will kill me if she finds me out of uniform again.
Jaune: Well you have your spare don’t you?
Reese: *Rolls eyes* No, I don’t have spare pants Jaune. It was already a hassle to get the one pair.
Jaune: *Knowing smile* I’m not talking about spare pants.
Reese: *Looks at him puzzled for a sec, then her face pales as horror dawns on her* No...
Jaune: It’s the only way Reese.
Reese: I-I could get the pants out of the wash and into the drier real quick!
Jaune: *Shakes his head* There’s no time, class starts in fifteen minutes.
Reese: *Quietly whines as her gaze turns to her bottom dresser drawer*
Twelve minutes later...
Jaune: You look fine.
Reese: I look like an idiot!
Jaune: No you don’t! If anything, I think it looks cu-
Reese: Don’t you dare finish that sentence!
Jaune: *Puts his hands up defensively* Ok! Ok! Look, you’re over reacting, i bet hardly anyone will notice.
Reese: You better hope so. *Nervously opens the door to their first period class, stepping in as everyone was getting ready for the day until...*
Jaune: OH MY GOD REESE! ARE YOU WEARING A SKIRT!?
Entire Class: *Turns towards at the two of them to see that Reese in fact was wearing a skirt for the first time since school began*
Neptune: Heeeeyyy Reese! Looking good~
Dove: *Whistles* Get it girl!
Gwen: By my stars, darlin’! You look so cute!
Reese:
Jaune: *Villainously snickers to himself* Payback.

Does lightning strike on Venus? Maybe not, study suggests
Venus may be a (slightly) gentler place than some scientists give it credit for.
In new research, space physicists at CU Boulder have jumped into a surprisingly long-running debate in solar system science: Does lightning strike on the second planet from the sun?
The team's results add strong new evidence suggesting that, no, you probably wouldn't see bolts of lightning flashing from Venus' thick, acidic clouds—or, at least, not very often.
"There's been debate about lightning on Venus for close to 40 years," said Harriet George, lead author of the new study and a postdoctoral researcher at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP). "Hopefully, with our newly available data, we can help to reconcile that debate."
She and her team published their findings in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
The research takes a deep dive into one of the most mysterious, and inhospitable, bodies in the solar system. Venus is about the same size as Earth, but its dense, carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere has led to a runaway greenhouse effect. Anyone standing on the ground would face searing temperatures of 900 degrees Fahrenheit and crushing atmospheric pressures. No spacecraft has ever survived for more than a few hours on the planet's surface.
To explore this extreme world, the researchers turned to a scientific tool that wasn't designed to study Venus at all: NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which launched in 2018 as part of a 7-year mission to investigate the physics of the sun's corona, or outermost atmosphere, and the solar wind. Parker Solar Probe was designed, built and is now operated by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, which leads the mission for NASA.
In February 2021, the spacecraft swooped around Venus at a distance of roughly 1,500 miles. In the process, its instruments picked up dozens of what scientists call "whistler waves"—pulses of energy that, on Earth at least, can be kicked off by bolts of lightning. The team's data showed that Venus' whistler waves may not actually originate from lightning, but rather from disturbances in the weak magnetic fields that envelop the planet.
The results agree with a 2021 study, which failed to detect radio waves generated by lightning strikes coming from Venus. The research was led by Marc Pulupa of the University of California, Berkeley.
David Malaspina, a co-author of the new study, said the findings show just how little humans know about one of our nearest neighbors.
"It's very rare that new scientific instruments make it to Venus," said Malaspina, assistant professor at LASP and the Department of Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences. "We don't get a lot of chances to do this kind of interesting research."
Dark and stormy nights
Much of the debate around Venus and lightning dates back to 1978 when a NASA spacecraft called Pioneer Venus entered into orbit around Earth's hotter, angrier twin. Almost immediately, the spacecraft began picking up the signals of whistler waves hundreds of miles above the planet's surface.
For many scientists, these signals were reminiscent of a familiar phenomenon from Earth: lightning.
George explained that, on Earth, whistler waves are often—but not always—created by lightning. Lightning strikes, she said, can jostle electrons in the planet's atmosphere, which then launch waves that spiral out into space. These waves create whistling tones that early radio operators on Earth could hear using headphones, hence the name "whistlers."
If Venus' whistler waves have a similar origin, then the planet might be a monster of lightning, experiencing roughly seven times more strikes than Earth. Scientists have also spotted lightning on Saturn and Jupiter.
"Some scientists saw those signatures and said, "That could be lightning,'" George said. "Others have said, "Actually, it could be something else." There's been back and forth about it for decades since."
A brush with Venus
Parker Solar Probe could offer scientists an opportunity to resolve the debate for good.
George said that the spacecraft will skim by Venus seven times during its mission, using these flybys to draw closer and closer to the sun. In 2021, during its fourth such maneuver, the probe got remarkably near to the planet—passing into the shadow cast behind Venus, a prime spot to go looking for whistler waves.
To find those signals, George, Malaspina and their colleagues used Parker Solar Probe's FIELDS Experiment, a set of electric and magnetic field sensors that stick out from the spacecraft. (A team at CU Boulder and LASP designed and built the Digital Fields Board, which analyzes signals from the FIELDS sensors).
When the researchers analyzed a set of those whistlers, however, they noticed something surprising: Venus' whistler waves were headed the wrong way. They seemed to be moving down toward the planet, not out into space like you'd expect from a lightning storm.
"They were heading backward from what everybody had been imagining for the last 40 years," Malaspina said.
What is causing these backward whistlers isn't clear. George and Malaspina suspect that they may emerge from a phenomenon called magnetic reconnection—in which the twisting magnetic field lines that surround Venus come apart then snap back together with explosive results.
For now, the researchers say they need to analyze more whistlers to completely rule out lightning as a cause. They'll get their next chance in November 2024 when the Parker Solar Probe makes its final pass by Venus, dropping down to less than 250 miles above the surface—brushing the top of the planet's "soupy" atmosphere, Malaspina said.
"Parker Solar Probe is a very capable spacecraft. Everywhere it goes, it finds something new."

I’m very sorry to hear that your work day was shitty, Here is a silly little Raindrop head cannon for you💙
Rain and Dew go on little picnics every weekend to decompress from the week.
They both bring littler bags full of the others favourite food and will just sit outside for hours feeding each other food and just chatting about their week.
99% the time they end up snuggled up and asleep and someone has to carry them inside.
AOAUGH THATS TOO ADORABLE GSDSGGDHASHDHJSFH
they sit in a different spot each week but most of the time they choose to sit by the lake and watch the surface of the water ripple in the breeze. and if its raining they'll either ask very politely to use Mountain's greenhouse or they'll find a hidden spot in one of the lesser used parts of the abbey. i'd say they dont do it as much in the winter cus they spend the majority of their time napping together anyway hdbfhsd
#thank you for this#raindrop#rain x dewdrop#rain ghoul#dewdrop ghoul#ghoul headcanons#they are in love your honour

picnic
mushy may ; day six !! (approx 750 words)
(oh! throwing a tag in @cirrus-ghoulette's general direction, because they came up with the pet-names that lus and mount call each other)
read under the cut or on ao3 :)
Cumulus stumbles along the path with her hands covering her eyes. Mountain’s soft grip around her bicep is her only guide up the path. She has no idea where they’re headed, only that Mountain told her to meet him in his greenhouse at 10am sharp, and now she’s been pulled along with her eyes closed and being told there’s some kind of surprise waiting for her.
“Can you just tell me where we’re going, Mount? Or at least let me open my eyes? I’m scared I’m going to trip…”
Mountain stops at her words, and she feels him turn around and place both of his hands on her cheeks. “It’s just a little further, ‘Lus, I promise. Is that alright?”
She hesitates but nods her head slowly—still keeping her eyes diligently closed—and is rewarded for it when Mountain gives her the lightest of kisses on the tip of her nose. She tilts her head up and tries her best to chase his lips with her own, wanting more, but he just chuckles and pulls further away.
“Later, button. When you open your eyes. Can’t have me catching you off guard with any surprise kisses while your eyes are closed, can we?” He takes a hold of her arm once again and begins leading her up the hill again.
After what seems like an eternity—although in reality, it’s probably barely three minutes—Mountain slows down once more and guides her until her feet hit some kind of rug; or maybe it’s a blanket?
“Are you ready?” He sounds nervous, and Cumulus can so easily picture the way he’s probably worrying his bottom lip in his teeth as he looks down at her. It’s adorable, really.
“Mhmm.”
“Okay, you can– Ah! No, wait!” He exclaims, making her yelp quietly. “I’ve gotta…” Suddenly, his front is pressed up against Cumulus’ back, and his hands are covering her eyes. “Okay, now we’re ready… Open your eyes, ‘Lus,” he whispers as he pulls his hands away from her eyes.
The first thing Cumulus notices is colour. Clusters upon clusters of bright, colourful wildflowers spilling down the hill they’re standing on and into the valley below, spanning out as far as her eyes can see. She’s so preoccupied by the dazzling array of nature in front of her that she doesn’t even notice the red and white chequered picnic blanket, or the basket surrounded by dainty crockery and glasses until Mountain gently tips her head down.
“Sweetheart,” she breathes out, turning to face Mountain. “You did all of this?”
Mountain nods shyly. “Do you like it?”
“Baby, I love it!” She flings herself into his arms and hugs him tightly, jumping up and down in excitement, doing her best to coordinate her excited bounces so that she can kiss him deeply at the same time. The angle’s off, and the fact that Mountain has to bend almost in half just to reach her lips doesn’t help, but it’s the thought that counts, she supposes.
“Come sit down?” Mountain fluffs one of the pillows he has resting on the blanket for her—Sathanas, he really thought of everything, didn’t he—and pours her a glass of something; she’s not sure what it is, but it’s bubbling as if it’s carbonated and there’s a slight blue tinge to it, it looks deliciously refreshing.
Once he’s given her the drink and he’s made sure she’s comfortable, Mountain moves to sit down across from her on the other side of the blanket, but Cumulus makes an indignant noise and pulls him back over towards her. “Sit next to me?”
Mountain can’t contain his smile, even if he tries. “‘Course, angel.” He sits down next to her—but not before he plucks a bright, yellow daisy from beside the blanket and tucks the blossom behind her ear, kissing her cheek and pulling away with a whispered confession of the joy that she provides to him every single day without even trying; she does her best not to tear up, but it’s a lost cause—and wraps his arms around her shoulders, holding her close to him. Cumulus closes her eyes and tips her head back against his chest, sighing contentedly.
She’s sure they’ll get around to eating the food eventually—especially since Mountain no doubt spent hours preparing this array of little snacks for them to share—but for now, Cumulus is more than happy to lean back into Mountain’s arms and be held close for a while.
#mushy may#for someone who said he'd never write het. i write a lot of het...#but they're just so CUTE i can't help it!!#husband ficlets#cumulus ghoulette#mountain ghoul#nameless ghouls#the band ghost

for the ship ask would 1, 21 and 30 for diarmuid x cu alter be ok? this is the 1. what would their 1st date be like 21. how they cheer each other up, 30. their wedding (but if u dont wanna do wedding 22 on halloween outfits is ok too) thank you!
#1. First date?
diarmuid is usually the one who initiates it in most universes due to each of them being the way they are. i wrote something that isn't ready for public consumption yet where diarmuid invites cu to look at chaldea's greenhouse and he shows him around there and shows him some plants he's growing and things. cu tells himself that he's there because diarmuid is his ally and it's a good idea to get to know him better for practical reasons. he is lying to himself as usual. diarmuid thinks he's just excited to hang out with the even-more-relatable version of his hero but he definitely already has a huge crush on him. neither of them think of this as a date at the time but that's pretty much what it is.
#30. What was their wedding day like?
i haven't thought about this much, but i have thought a decent amount about how they'd propose to each other - but anyway, to address the wedding thing. i think that diarmuid would want it to involve some element of ritual/tradition of some sort, and cu would mostly just see it as a chance to wear a bride outfit and wouldn't really be particular about much else. overall i think whatever they did for a ceremony would end up being pretty simple and straightforward. diarmuid seems like he'd like to have a big party for the wedding and invite plenty of people. idk if the handfasting ritual actually goes back to their time or not but i think it's nice and i think they'd like it so i like to think they'd do it.

irl posting time, he'll yea
my mom, my cousin, her son and i went to a fall festival/carnival today! there's a long read ahead, so i'll leave everything below the "Keep reading" line this time.
--------------------------------------------------
we started off trying to attend one elsewhere in the area, but we found out too late that the event was postponed for the next week, on days we couldn't attend due to my cousin having other things to do and my mom having work. no big deal tho, we still walked around the place.
this was at rocky point state park in warwick, rhode island. it used to be a full-fledged amusement park from as far back as the late-1840s, at least before financial issues ran it out of business in the mid-1990s. honestly i found it fun to just look around and see what was left of the place, as a few parts of it were left for viewing after reopening in 2011. didn't take any pics of that stuff specifically, but i did take some pics of the surrounding area of narragansett bay and a pic of a cliff in the park itself.
before we left to get some lunch, my cousin remembered another place that was holding another fall festival, the one we went to. it was a different place altogether: a combination of a greenhouse, farm and grocery store in hope, rhode island. despite my cousin having told us what the place was gonna be (again, more like a carnival), i had no idea what to expect whatsoever. so i was kinda floored to see actual mechanical rides behind this damn grocery store. didn't ride any of them btw, i was afraid i was too tall.
here's every pic i took there (with a liiittle warning for food here for anyone with eating disorders, cus i had a donut and apple cider (plus kettle corn)):
but yea today was fun! glad we improvised in the end cus i think i had more fun than i would have if the first event wasn't postponed. plus the cousin said she hadn't before been able to go to the event we went to due to work and weather.
there's also a pic of me holding a sugar pumpkin with a long stem that mom took, but i dunno if i want to post that specifically because, while i'm more than comfortable posting my face to strangers on the internet, idk if any of you actually WANT that, soooo you get what you get :)

It wasn't unusual for Kingdoms to come together, whether it be to strengthen ties or simply to demonstrate an alliance. Their parents would discuss trade routes and armies and magic and cultural differences — and the children were there to be seen, not heard.
The travel from Volta to Ardor had been long and mind-numbingly boring. Ariadne read every page of every tome from cover-to-cover twofold and she was in a bickering and restless mood by the time they finally stepped on foreign soil. Introductions were made, and all the pomp and ceremony of a royal welcoming unfolded. It never seemed to end.
Then came a suggestion that the younger guests retire for a rest before the grand feast. "I'm not a child who needs to take a nap." Ariadne protested, her hand lifting to gesture at the crown Prince himself. "Prince Soleil can show us around, it's only polite that we have a chance to familiarise ourselves with our new surroundings."
@rebelichor
If Soleil was anything, it was being a dutiful son. He did as he was told and instructed. Stand there and be silent, unless spoken to.
Since as he was taught since birth, he wasn't just heir to the throne, or crown prince. He was firstly and most importantly--- a direct reflection his his father, Cyrus. King of Ardor. The city of fire and gold. When really... he just wanted just a little freedom to do what he wanted. Instead of being scrutinized and judged for his incompetency at these sort of social events.
Yet he stood there, stoic and reserved, trying for aloof and disinterest, as a part of the background while the strangers were welcomed into the kingdom. Greeting those when cued to do so. it was still relatively early. At least a few hours before the dinner banquet would be served.
He had also been daydreaming a little, not quite paying attention to what was being talked about until his name was brought up. He flinched then stood at attention, back straight and arms folded behind him in a soldier's stance. Garnet red eyes shifting from the one that spoke, then to his father. Gauging his reaction to Soleil's lack of attention.
"Uhm... sure, I would be honored to show our guests around." He started awkwardly, clearly uncomfortable but did his best to hide it behind an emotionless mask. Then he'd hold his arm out to his side, gesturing towards the tall bay of windows that lined the side of the grand hall they all stood in.
"If you'd like, Lady Ariadne, we can start with the garden and greenhouse. Then meander around the grounds until dinner is called."

Broadcast #03 - Greenhouse - WZRD Verdigris Radio
In the heart of the Corroded faction, an enigmatic man, better known as the Wizard, releases his first radio broadcast to the world. We hope you’ll become a listener.
This week’s song is “Way It Goes” by Hippocampus
< =o= >
WZRD Verdigris Radio is written, produced, and edited by @theecryptiid.
The Wizard is voiced by Cass theecryptiid.
< =o= >
[Previous | Next]
[Transcript below the cut]
Good afternoon radio space! I’m happy to say that Verdigris is buzzing with more activity than ever. Seems the new folks have settled in well, and spread across this desert like far flung buzzards.
I’ve been trying to find ways to occupy my creativity recently, though I’ve got this station now, most of my time is either spent in the booth or flipping through records to try and find the perfect song to reach the smallest corners of the server. [sighs], Honestly all the down time’s got me flipping through old photo albums, both from the previous world and the ones I managed to grab and shove into my ender chest when I was leaving the Academy all those years ago. Because it’s so dry here, nothing much green grows besides cactus, and I honestly miss walking through the lush gardens of the Academy greenhouses, and especially my old garden in the past world.
I think I need to bring a bit more greenery to this desert, maybe call on some of the Fungus folks for help, in setting up a sprawling’ greenhouse to lay somewhere along the lines of this here town.
Apparently, flung way far out into the dark reaches of this world, are some new creatures that could help bring some strange new plants to us. Our explorers have told me they haven’t pinpointed the exact location to find them yet, but that they’ll find it hopefully soon. I feel like it’s been such a long time since I’ve really tried anything new. You might lean back and question this, seeing as I’ve just started this station and all, but back when I was a scholar, I used to run a radio station for one of the Universities. Playing music and such, trying to impress someone who was much more into radio than I was.
[clears throat]. I’ve found that it’s good to try something new every once and a while, doing a new hobby will keep your mind from souring too much. It’ll keep you dreaming’ of new things, keep your mind spinning, and wipe away the cobwebs. I’m thinking pottery, I do live in a mesa after all, there is an abundance of clay and terracotta to use here. I’ve got a book somewhere tucked away on how to do it, that or I can definitely find one in the Verde Cock Library. There’s a building down on the pier that would be perfect as a clay studio, I’ll just have to build some kilns and set up some tables and wheels for throwing. I’ll have some wares to sell in no time.
Alright, Verdigris Radio is sponsored this week by the Malfaction, wonderful! Are you stuck in your boring faction territory? Drowning in depression? Want to have some fun? Visit the Malfaction, browse shops, adopt from an animal shelter, and get hammered while watching our glorious dictator [clears throat], “fuck it up” on the stripper pole. You can even get baptized, now doesn’t that sound enriching? Note: Ollie specifically cannot get baptized because I don’t want his ass to ascend. Alright, thank you Ceph, and thank you to the Malfaction for your support.
Besides all that, it’s been quiet out in the far reaches. Too quiet. I think the other factions are up to something, maybe I’ll take a trip out to Wisteria tomorrow afternoon and catch up with Flick. Oh and I promised Doc we'd have tea a while back, but I think he’s been down in his lab for a while, I should send him a letter and make good on that.
I’ve got this week’s song cued up and ready, but before I sign off, I just wanted to let you all know I’ve found a way to take calls and questions! If you’ve got any of those, just send them to our mailbox, and I’ll be sure to answer them. Enjoy the tunes!

Autumn 14th - Not Sandy’s Birthday 😔
I learned Blackberry Cobbler from the Queen of Sauce which would have been helpful YESTERDAY because I know for a fact it’s one of Abigail’s favourites (a secret note told me so)
I continued schemeing about the greenhouse and went to Pierre’s to buy seeds and some quality fertiliser cus I didn’t want to fish all day for it haha
I took a coconut to Sandy for her birthday! Except it’s not her birthday today her birthday is tomorrow. Oops. Tho it wasn’t raining in the desert even though it was in the valley and Sandy said its always hot which got me thinking about the Dragon...
I bought some cool seeds from Sandy also that I can put in my greenhouse
I started planting! Didn’t realise until later that I had planted the beets outside so I ran out of beet seeds but here’s what it looked like right before I passed out on the way back to my house
(Photo of the Day:)
Its very dark I need to invest in some better lighting I think
