"Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

When I pick up a wild ant such as this Camponotus pennsylvanicus minor worker I’m always anxious that I return her to her colony. I followed her after letting her go. She ran the full length of a football field then suddenly up a pole. Waiting there another ant of the same species. They fussed over each other. Grooming and feeding each other for several minutes. Then they tucked into a nook in the fence and went to sleep! I guess they won’t be taking me to their main nest today.

I was trying to find the location of the main colony and looked up to see this huge tree stump. Probably cut down to keep leaves off of the field 😡— it was once home to a vast colony of probably 20,000 or more carpenters! The ants I saw are probably the great granddaughters of the single queen who sired the substantial colony that marked the great tree. The stump may prove home to many more large colonies as it decays— though, the universe of organisms that was once this tree cannot compare.

When one is invested in little creatures one can get quite worked up about the removal of large trees— they are whole worlds for little ants, pseudo scorpions, isopods, spiders, slugs, aphids and beetles—

I’ve been trying to count all of the species of invertebrate on a single tree near my apartment and have not reached a limit in three years— there are always more! and between them so much drama and excitement.

To me this is the same image. A once great empire gone fallow.

The Force Tree

So…does anyone remember the branches of the Great Tree from the Jedi Temple being stolen back from the Empire by Luke and Shara Bey (Poe's mom) in the Shattered Empire comic? Did Lucasfilm/Story Group forget about that or did they change their minds about using it? I mean….I just thought that with Project Necromancer, the Empire wanting to clone Midiclorians or something like that, it'd be a good time to bring that up (I know- The Bad Batch takes place before Shattered Empire and before the OT, but still).

It just feels like an abandoned plot line.

I just can't help picturing (during Mando season 3) Kes and Poe whistling nonchalantly with their force tree in the background.

But if it doesn't have any…Force-giving powers, then why did the Emperor want to study it? And if it was useless, why didn't he just have those twigs thrown out?

“When I Was Young”

Some fanart of Zhan Tiri in the Great Tree, from this fanfiction: https://archiveofourown.org/works/23370772/chapters/55996960

It’s not about Zhan Tiri, it’s about Cass, but it gives Ziti the backstory that the show so desperately needed and was missing, and I loved it. Obviously. It made her feel like an actual fucking character, and a tragic one at that, and I love me a tragic character, so here we are.

Hot take- the main reason the conflict in Great Tree is so messy is actually because both Cassandra and Rapunzel were having trauma responses and neither handled the other's well which led to both of them lashing out.

Ren is SUCH a wet dog this season, every single episode he appears in he comes off as this PATHETIC SOPPING WET DOG MAN that is trying really hard to look cool!!

"I'm working hard mining with you guys! I'm organizing!" - Doesn't contribute anything, gets mocked by his co-workers

"No guys!! My game is really difficult!!! If you die you don't get anything!! There's no exceptions!!!" - Dies while doing a basic task

"I'm going to make a big tower!! So menacing!!" - Makes a tiny tiny tower, gets mocked by his neighbors

"Guys please help I'm stuck on my tower" - Fucking dies again

He keeps trying, no one buys it, cleo mocks him, beef mocks him, iskall mocks him, even MUMBO JUMBO is making fun of him at this point.

#Whatever you say sweetie!! 💕😍 You're doing so great!!🥰✨#i love him anyway #He is a theater kid and he WILL tell you about his big important play even if he is playing the tree on act 2 scene 5 #hermitcraft #rendog #hermitcraft season 10

It's almost heartbreaking how much the Great Tree was destroyed by the incantation.

#some more screenshots from my hardcore world <3 it's going good #built that tree from the last two pictures today :3 it's no bdubs level of course but i like how it turned out!#i think im slowly getting better at custom trees and building in general! happy #that building on the uhhh 6th image is my favorite so far! it houses my bee farm and it's so cool and vibrant and funky!!! loving it #the building on the 3rd image is also pretty good. it's an inn with a restaurant on the 1st floor and villager housing on the 2nd!#it's cozy in there but on the outide i think it could do with a bit more dress up. that part of the town is still in development so im sure #it'll come together eventually! like. with another house across the street and maybe some banner lines between them it's gonna look great #i also took that screenshot with my normal playing fov and not the low-good-for-screenshots fov so. yknow #welp. that's it for now i think #mining and building and also crafting #<- made the tag for it finally! check it out if you wanna; there's the previous set of screenshots as well #yagotalk
