Starseed Apples
“Here you go,” I said, putting down the last box. “Uncut fabric, plumbing supplies, and three cases with a fungus biohazard label. Do I even want to know what’s in those?” I cast a curious look at my fellow human as I handed over the signing pad. She was shorter and rounder than I was, dressed in a crisp uniform of a type I didn’t recognize. Big pockets everywhere.
She signed with a wry grin. “Those are dirt.”
“Dirt?” I repeated, looking around the admittedly spotless loading dock of this particular space station. “Dirt warrants a biohazard here?”
“Oh, you have no idea,” she said, handing the pad back. “Organic mulch that could contain anything from decomposed animals to fungus to poop? With uncountable amounts of bacterial life and potential germs? We’re lucky they only focused on the mold aspect!”
“Hm, good point,” I said.
Zhee, who was busy moving boxes off the hover sled, muttered something disparaging. I expected him to complain about how gross it all was, since he was always the first to point out when humans did something to offend his bug-alien sensibilities, but it sounded like he was griping about the strict station rules this time.
The human continued. “We have to keep a clean room between the greenhouse area and everything else. Even there, most things are in pots. We’ve got a great crop from Johnny Starseed right now!”
I’d heard that name before. “Oh, was he the one who sells little potted—”
“Apple trees, yeah,” she said. “Tiny and convenient, but they make an impressive number of apples as long as you feed ‘em quality dirt.” She bent down to pat a box.
Zhee finished freeing the sled. “Reasonable business plan,” he said, sounding almost complimentary.
“The guy named himself after Johnny Appleseed,” I told Zhee. “A human from centuries ago who got famous for traveling around and setting up apple orchards on Earth. Everybody likes a guy who brings food wherever he goes. And drink — I think some of those apples were supposed to be the cider variety.”
Zhee flicked his antennae. “Sounds like a very human thing to do,” he said drily.
“Have you tried the Starseed Reds?” the other human asked. “They’re very good.”
“No I haven’t, but I’d like to!” I said. “I’ve heard good things. I was kind of hoping to cross paths with him at some point. I wouldn’t mind a tiny apple tree in my quarters. Of course, the cat might get at it, and I’d probably have to find a grow lamp…”
She opened a boxy hip pocket, and pulled out the shiniest red apple I’d seen in a while. “Here you go.”
“Thank you!” I said, taking it eagerly. “That’s very generous!”
She waved it off. “Like I said, we’ve got a big crop. And I’ve got a different one that I’m saving for when I get off shift.” From another pocket, she produced a red apple with distinct orange stripes. “Which should be as soon as I get the supplies back to base.”
I laughed. “Is that the booze kind? I didn’t think those were real!”
“Oh yes,” she said with relish, putting it back in the pocket. “Starseed Cider Apples, no fermenting required!”
Zhee cocked his head, faceted eyes looking at both of us. “Poisonous apples?”
“Alcoholic apples,” I corrected, knowing full well that he considered that to be the same thing.
Zhee pushed the hover cart back toward the ship with a dramatic head tilt and antennae swirl. “Now that sounds like a human thing to do.”
“Well, you’re not wrong there,” I said with a smile. I thanked the other human and followed him, taking a bite of my non-alcoholic apple. It really was good.

To be honest, today's the best i've felt in a long time. can't really tell you why because it was nothing extraordinary per se. but had energy to do things, got the things i wanted done....like sure they weren't important things but making breakfast, doing cosplay today, it was just....nice
#its felt like ages since i've had this kind of energy tbh#and just...content you know?#its been a long time since ive been content with a day#annnnnyways we'll see abt writing#but also promised to watch the 2 episodes that dropped tonight with my siblings#᛭ — [OOC] angst is the game and tears are the currency

Day 06 : Holy
#religious imagery#demon#nun#digital art#elliot doodles#soooooo this is technically also demon!el like the bloodbath one#just an au where he's the avatar of sorrow instead of bloodlust#They're more demonic in appearance and like- goaty#bloodlust!el is more humanoid bc they're a fallen angel but sorrow!el is more beastial bc he died (L16) and came back as a demon#also i thought it would just be neat to have a demon who wears more religious iconography#i still love bloodlust el though and they're the main timeline i have in my head for how their story would go#annnnnyway#ik by the time y'all are seeing this I'm gonna be 2 days late but its fiiiiine#I might skip a few days for brain recovery purposes or just draw simple stuff#so dont be surprised if ya dont get 31 pieces of art this year trying to make it quality > quantity rather than the opposite

it has to be said though, I had a lovely rest of the day after my breakdown this morning. it was very cathartic. painted for like eight hours after that, and had a good time doing it.
#also watched Sad Boyz for... well that entire time tbh#maybe that also helped. probably. Jarvis in particular is always incredibly calming to me. I relate to him so much so it helps when he says#something very eloquent about his feelings or whatever. idk it's just good#big feelings day today I guess#alsooo had a......... long shower... for the first time in a month/since I've been here. if you get what I'm saying. because I'm#uncomfortable saying it lol. anyway that... also helped#removed a lot of the way-too-horny anxiety lol.#annnnnyway no one needs to know that but whatever 💖#then I rewatched the night court episode with the law club where Dan is really just. selfless. and does something so nice for Christine#man I love that episode#he's my good boy. I could totally fix him and show him that he isn't the worst person on earth. that'd be fun#it'd fix me too tbh#or we could make each other worse 💖 I'd be okay with that too#anyway it's bed/daydream time. so that'll be fun haha#it is very frustrating that I can only realise things about myself and my own life through fictional characters and random guys. but#whatever I'll take what I can get#personal

like since i finished dai i have wanted for da4 to have the hof come back. it’s not going to happen because i think it just. would be difficult to do and could have the potential to alienate folks that haven’t been as into origins/are entirely new to the franchise given how long ago origins came out. i think the only solve to that would be putting out a dragon age legendary edition (similar to me) which like. i do and don’t want? idk. i don’t know that a da:le is coming, at least not prior to da4. ALL THIS TO SAY if we’re getting more warden content which i think we knew from da4 concept art, i just think it would be neat to see the hof especially since they’re such an odd one out compared to the rest of the wardens.
#ari speaks#annnnnyway.#i want i NEED i CRAVE i beg for warden drama i am a dog with a grey warden helmet as mine chew tohy
