Two years ago, I bought a bunch of wine cap mushroom spawn to inoculate an outdoor bed. However, because of my health and also the health of the friends who were going to help me set it up, I didn't actually make the bed until late fall. We were already having frosts and the spawn was at the very end of its usable shelf life so I knew it might not take, but I figured I might as well try anyway.

I didn't get any mushrooms all last year, so it looked like the spawn had been too old or the mycelium didn't have time to get established before the winter. Which, you know, happens, especially when you are cursed.

BUT THEN. TODAY.

#mushrooms #mushroom cultivation #THANK YOU NORTH SPORE THANK YOU RESILIENCE OF WINE CAP SPAWN THANK YOU RAINSTORMS!!!#i'm so happy i havn't had Good mushrooms in a while <3 #there were also a few others that weren't wine caps and were too far gone to identify #but MIGHT be the blewits i also put out there #i hope so i want purple mushrooms #gotta get more woodchips to reinvigorate them!!

The North of Gaza has been declared "successfully cleansed".

I want you all to take a long, hard look at this footage. Do not look away. Soak it in.

Those are people's homes. Schools. Hospitals. All in the North. All gone. They can never return. Nothing is salvageable. Countless bodies left under the rubble.

Look at this and try to say Israel is "defending itself."

Zionism is terrorism.

no of fence to jon snow fans who for some reason care about his exact age, but these discussions just annoy me no end. not only bc there's no way any weirwood flashbacks bran has to rhaegar/lyanna will come with time/datestamps, but also bc there's always comments like this:

SEVERAL turns of the moon (ie, months)?! have these people never seen a human baby before or just have no concept of their ages? even if we take into account travel time from the toj to wf, meaning jon was not a newborn too fresh out the oven when catelyn and robb arrived, there's still a difference between a newborn and a 3mo and an even bigger difference between those infants and an older baby 5-7mo. there's very good reasons these lines were cut. whatever birthdates can be worked out internally for jon and robb from when they're first mentioned as 15 and 16 don't matter in the end, bc grrm doesn't care about a consistent timeline and the actual text of catelyn's pov and ned's convo with robert about cheating on her should outweigh any guesstimates about jon's official nameday wrt robb's. catelyn may not have cared for jon, but she would sure as hell have noticed his nameday if it came before robb's and made him ned's firstborn. if jon's birthday canonically came before robb's then either ned's cover story would not involve adultery (not impossible for him to sire a bastard before his wedding), or he'd just give jon a new nameday along with his new name to fit the adultery lie. it makes no sense for him to lie about one and not the other, undermining the big lie with a little public clue of his story not adding up. whatever else she was as a stepmother, cat wasn't stupid and a bastard who was actually the eldest son being raised alongside her trueborn heir could be an even bigger insult than whether he was born of adultery or not.

BUT, the unknowability of jon's true birthday is not the only reason this annoys me, it's bc this is all based on the assumption that jon must be older since rhaegar/lyanna ran off together before ned married cat, as if both boys must have been conceived asap as robb canonically was when his parents consummated their marriage. and that's not how human reproduction works! even if you don't understand how fast babies grow in the first year, you should know that people who get pregnant do so through ovulation cycles and a lucky sperm finding an egg and all that, not just immediately getting knocked up as soon as one has p-in-v sex for the first time. not unless you only know mean girls sex ed where if you have sex you will get pregnant and die. (even tho lyanna did die, there's plenty of canon examples where pregnancy did not lead straight to death. also examples of people who did not get pregnant right away and even some who are/were sexually active and childless without always having moon tea on hand.) we can't know how long lyanna was having sex before that sperm+egg match happened or even how long she was with rhaegar before losing her technical virginity. if they were married, doesn't it make sense to think they didn't consummate their relationship until the wedding night either? that's the only leverage there is to ensure a status as wife rather than just mistress.

and while i just said grrm doesn't care about exact timelines and a lot is still foggy surrounding the rebellion and esp rhaegar, there is one timemarker wrt robert's rebellion he voluntarily threw in, time and time again: that stannis was besieged at storm's end for almost a whole year. that siege, which mind you, did not match the duration of the entire war. it only started after robert won his battles at gulltown and summerhall, returned to storm's end, and then went out and lost the battle of ashford, leaving his homeland open to the reachermen. the same siege which only ended when ned made a detour there after the sack of king's landing, before going to the toj. even if lyanna may not have given birth that exact day ned found her, she could only be waiting in that bloody bed for weeks at the most, not months. so if rhaegar knocked her up the very same night he carried her off and jon was still a newborn when ned found her after the siege of storm's end had ended, wouldn't that mean lyanna was pregnant for well over a year? that's not how human pregnancy works either! so, maybe that's proof that jon and robb, whichever order they were actually born in, were actually very close in age as babies, much closer than if they were both conceived asap.

and really, jon's actual birthdate does not matter imho, when he was raised not just as the bastard to robb's trueborn heir, but with robb also known by catelyn and the world as ned's firstborn (which he was, in any case, as jon was ned's nephew by birth). what difference could a birthdate before robb's make (even were there some means of discovery) after ned, cat, and robb are all dead? if one is looking only at his birth parents then he's only a firstborn child on lyanna's side, but definitely a second son on rhaegar's side. maybe he was always meant to be a second son with a not much older half-brother! even if the aegon fka young griff is not in fact rhaegar's son, he'll still be known as aegon vi targaryen, meaning jon will never be known as any father's elder son. if i may reference mean girls again, it's not going to happen.

#valyrianscrolls #asoiaf #asoiaf meta #robb stark #jonathan snowflake starkgaryen #i want him to succeed me as king in the north #jon snow #ned stark #lyanna stark #like this isn't prompted by anyone except that reddit post and its comments this has just annoyed me for so long #that's why i made that show!robb/show!jon coming of age gifset years ago bc narratively jon is always a second son #bc robb did everything first as elder bro and the only milestones jon will hit first will be the those robb can't since he's dead for good #(obviously starting with jon being first male stark to be brought back from the dead)#not that everyone interested in this debate thinks this way but it just feels tied to the idea of jon being a trueborn heir #not only was he never a bastard he was an eldest boy! eldest surviving boy with those pesky half-dornish sibs gone! point missed.#sorry i just dont think grrm means for a targ restoration with king jon any more than fake eldest boy kendall roy could win his succession #(c)lsb #i had to look up all the quotes on the big storm's end siege bc it makes me feel like i'm taking crazy pills #thinking what abt stannis starving for a year while others are like we just can't know how long rr was. was it even 9mons?#like yeah lollys's pregnancy doesn't add up but bc grrm really slowed the tl down postacok prob w/o really thinking #thats diff from repeatedly saying something lasted almost a year when he didn't have to give such a timeframe!

I hc wash and south (and by proxy, north) as all being ODSTs prior to pfl and one thing I really like about hcing them as such is that it adds another layer of depth to why they were all chosen to be a part of the recovery force.

ODSTs are a special forces unit within the marines, and they're generally used as force amplifiers and in high risk or sensitive operations. two such scenarios include the recovery or recapture of personal and high level assets behind enemy lines, as well as deep reconnaissance and intelligence gathering. ODSTs are also used in politically sensitive operations, which pfl was following the crash of the moi.

so basically, who better to be on the recovery force than former ODSTs who already have a background doing the kind of work that would need to be done?

this also adds to some of the tension between north and south as well imo, as while they're a great team who are capable of working together they clearly have two very different skillsets—south is not portrayed as someone who has the patience necessary for long reconnaissance missions, and part of the reason why team b failed so spectacularly is because two snipers and an intelligence operative are not a good choice for a smash and grab mission. had north been replaced with south things would've probably went way better for them, because south is actually fairly similar to wash in her "get in, get it done, get out" mentality, though where wash comes off as more methodical and is willing to take that "wait and see" approach, south throws caution to the wind and has a "we'll cross that bridge when we get there" approach.

this is probably why wash and south were (on paper at least) going to get eta and iota—south would've benefited greatly from having an ai that was afraid and anxious as it would force her to slow down and think things through more, and wash getting an ai that was happy and cheerful would force him to loosen up a bit and be less high-strung and serious.

#rvb #red vs blue #agent washington #agent south dakota #agent north dakota #related but not related but i think the reason wash and epsilon ended up in the situation they did is bc they were hyper compatible #like most of the ai are paired w a freelancer to either balance something out or to amplify a specific trait #for example north was given theta so he'd get off south's back or sigma could've helped lina be driven by more than just competition #so giving an ai that is memory to someone who already has a great memory in theory seems like it would be good. but if the memory is just a #glowing ball of trauma then. well. it would impact them a lot more than someone who doesn't have a great memory #like tbh i think delta could've gone to maine and epsilon to york bc the guy is kind of scattered and his adhd vibes could benefit from a #better memory while maine who has a habit of letting his anger and frustration get the best of him would've done well w calm logical delta

fishie friday. the salmonids are picking mangos

#splatoon #salmon run #splatoon chum #splatoon smallfry #a while ago i read that the salmonids and their art were inspired by north-west coast native american tribes #and ive recently gone down a rabbit hole of research. their culture is really cool!#this style specifically is based partially off of the kwakwakaʼwakw tribe #and i wanted to think about what salmonids would make art about traditionally.... i think they would make art of #them farming food and cooking it and hunting and stuff #and theyd probably have a lot of art regarding combat and passed-down family weaponry and such #boiledegg art

the dismay of picking up a book and discovering that, unbeknownst to you, it's set in the city you live in and therefore you're going to spend the whole thing going "okay but you can't get there from there" "we don't call it that" "that's not anywhere near that" "no"

#where the fuck are you finding a quadrangle around here anyway #and why have you gone a good couple of miles north apparently on foot #to look at a building very similar to one ten minutes away from where you supposedly are #absurd behaviour #also what the fuck is a beadle #néide has opinions about books #the author's twitter bio claims they partially live here and frankly i am baffled by that #how can you live in this city and still think it has quadrangles

the second coming of clarice ot last night i dreamt that a group of red-shouldered hawks from down by the river came to me while i was sitting on my porch. they started to tear off parts of my calf with their beaks in a way that felt peaceful and right until they were joined by the two eagles that nest near the lake and the pain and panic immediately became so unbearable that i kicked myself awake

#clarice #come come again #gorgoneion #gone gone again #north fulton county #georgia #end of messages #yesterday i cried on encountering a big old tree fallen on the farmhouse long abandoned it had watched over for near on a hundred years #now i'm walking by the river watching the rowers racing in the rain

the music when you run with Alice still gives me goosebumps

#DUUUUNUH NUHNUH DUUUNUH NUHNUH DUUUNUH NUHNUH DUUUUUUUNUUUUUH #the music in this game is good #especially with earphones i cant wait for the zlatko escape #that's the one that slaps the hardest #the first third of the game is good too #then it kinda tapers off in the second imho #with exceptions of course #then it gets good again at crossroads #but the chapter where they make you play as hillary clinton is the worst #i've not finished the last third as pacifist markus and deviant connor in so long #can't wait to...sing i guess #could kiss North but i really like unrequited norkus unrequited jerichokus in general #“i love him but when the night is oveeeer he is gone the rivers just a riverrrrr”#can't wait for Sixty it's been a while #that dirty rowdy rascal

it will quite literally never happen, but man, i would've loved to see this version of mox feud (or even just coexist!! god help me) with this version of roman. in the shield triad, they're the steady axis that never betrayed each other. But by now, they've both changed so radically. they're unrecognizable, antithetical to each other, at the top of their respective parallel universes.

#tribal chief roman just *feels* antithetical to mox #god at least with ambrollins seth will occasionally drop crumbs in interviews #ambreigns is just nothing. tragic #i can at least delude myself into thinking ambrollins will happen ever #ambreigns is just gone until the hall of fame i think #unless something truly drastic and devastating happens to north american wrestling asdlfjas #jrestling #birds of a feather #two birds with one stone

Darla looked them over as she chuckled to Wisterias child-like fight with Silas as she approached them "Fighting now babies who cant fight back Wisteria?" she said playfully "Is Aster next?" she asked with a harmless smile before glancing over Silas as she chuckled softly giving a soft pet over the head "What a cute pup you are..." she said to Silas before turning to north "He is super young, cant even talk yet..." she murmured "He seems too young to be away from parents...i hope he wasn't ripped away from them wherever they got him for you..." she remarked lightly

✧ The tiny ghost loudly huffed, she seemed to take offence from Darla's comment. Of course, she'd never hurt her own family! The fox wasn't her family so he didn't count, obviously. She dramatically crossed her arms before turning away angrily, she paid no attention to her as she approached Silas.

✧ Silas swatted at the older Zorua's tail before chasing it around in an attempt to playfully nip it, seems he found something new to play with. North, however, seemed more focused on Darla's question, she didn't even think to tell him anything.

✧ North looked a bit confused about what she was saying, rather than truly understanding she just was repeating something she was told. She paused thinking for a long moment before worry began to show in her expression.

North: ...Did I do something bad?

✧ She asked confused, her voice suddenly sounded shrill, almost cracking as she spoke. Her worry quickly shifted into guilt and panic upon finally realizing what Darla meant.

North: Is he too young? North: I don't want him to miss his mom!! I don't want them to take him away either! Mom already said, If I didn't take care of him she would take him back! But- I love Silas lots I don't want him to leave!

✧ North couldn't stop herself from nervously rambling on in a panic. When she finally seemed to stop she just fell silent.

-> North appears to be suddenly lost for words.

I think my favorite thing to do when making a self insert character is to have them have zero interaction with the canon plot or any of the characters

When I make a rottmnt oc it’s just going to be me except I take a trip to New York, see 1 (one) weird thing and I go “huh that was weird” and then I go back home and live the rest of my life

#bean babbles #my tales of Arcadia oc is very funny #around the time when the end of 3 below would have been happening me and my family took a road trip down to San Diego #I imagine we would have driven through Arcadia on our way down to San Diego #gone ?????? WTF is that #then we go to San Diego have a good time #and when we are driving back north to go home wizards would have been happening #so we get wtf is happening part 2
