There are no bees in Snowchester - a c!Tubbo poem
Full text under the cut
There are no bees in Snowchester
There are no bees in Snowchester,                            
They cannot settle there.                                               
Their wings would freeze,                                             
Their children starve,                                                       
Their Queen die to despair.       
                      The rabbits bound across the fields,                          
The bears, snow white, roar fiercely,                          
But there are no bees in Snowchester.                      
They hold their lives too dearly.   
                                You can grow a flower for them,                                 
but it will not draw them near.                                      
Blue orchids, tulips, alliums,                            
will droop, undrunk, round here.     
                                         For snow is not a growing thing,                                  
it holds the ground in stasis.                                          
It stretches over hills and homes,                                
and far expanding bases.      
The bees come not to Snowchester,                                      
They’re too happy where they are!
Their hives and wives and families,                            
Their flowers and their blooming trees,                    
Their wide green fields of nectar sweet,                   
Keep them from going far.                 
For who would wander so, away,                                
From all that good and plenty?                                    
Who travels through the cold and snow,                  
To build out on the empty?   
                          There stands a widower, alone,                                   
His eyes are cold and firm,                                            
Where once glowed yellow windows, warm,             
an icy wind now burns.         
                                          The hive is gone,                                                                            
The Queen is dead,                                                          
The corridors lay empty,                                                
The paths creak where swift feet once trod,             
And ghosts wander, false and friendly.
There are no bees in Snowchester,
They cannot stand the cold.
But you are made of sterner stuff.
You stay your course,
You hold.

academic bias is so funny because you’ll be reading about the same historical event and one person is like “Despite the troubles that befell his homeland and near constant criticism of the court King Blorbo remained strong in the face of adversity” and the other one is like “after letting his people carry the brunt of his cringefail decisions Blorbo the Shitface refused to listen to any reason and continued to be a warmongering piece of shit. Also he was ugly.”

zany to me how these um actually nihilists like to pretend that "um actually love/friendship/cooperation/kindness isn't real bc we evolved that way to benefit ourselves as a species..." um YES? that's also where tool use comes from? that's where cooking comes from? am i supposed to think social bonds & tool use & cooking aren't "real" because they evolved over time instead of appearing fully formed from the ether?
sorry u can't enjoy things. im a superior being twirling a fork in my bowl of delicious noodles whilst staring in adoration at the world

FNAF fanart in 2023? more likely than you think. 13 year old me would be very pleased with this development.

On Saturday I hung out with my 84-year-old ecologist great uncle and he stopped in mid-conversation (abt the return of the whooping crane) and very seriously told me that "you can go one of two ways, as a naturalist"; either you keep sight of the hopeful possibilities, or you don't. I'm one of nature's wretched little pessimists but when an old ecologist literally holds your hands in his and tells you, "don't despair," you have to try, I feel.

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

hey man maybe if you think about the fact that dogs dream, and that non-human animals play, and that octopuses decorate their dens, and that there are non-human animals that have cultures, and that ants teach each other, and that fossils exist, and that there are so many forms of language and communication, and that fellow apes look so much like us, and that we are not alone you'll see the beauty and joy
