I really love the characters in these stories, I'm just curious as to who everyone's favorite is. Some of the villains from the same story are in the same category because I can only have 12 options
Reblog for a bigger sample size :)

Michael
*I should start by saying that I headcanon Duke’s full name as Douglas Michael Keane. With that in mind, enjoy ;)*
Miss Holloway knew what was going to happen when two little blue lines proved her suspicions that morning. She knew she couldn’t tell Duke, what if something were to happen? And what were the chances of the baby surviving with her curse anyways? Could it affect the fetus too? She threw the test in the trashcan and sighed, climbing back into bed with Duke. He wrapped an arm around her in his sleep and she kissed his hand before moving it to her stomach. She closed her eyes, pretending like everything would be okay for them.
Seven months later Miss Holiday found herself in a similar position to that same day that she’d found out she was pregnant. Duke lay next to her in her bed, with a hand resting on her baby bump, waiting to feel the baby kick.
“Oh that’s a strong little guy you got in there huh?” Duke smiled as he felt the baby kick his hand. Miss Holiday smiled.
“He takes after his father.”
Duke looked up at her as she placed a hand on the bump as well.
“Ahh was his father the Hatchetfield kickboxing champion?” He joked. Miss Holiday smiled and scoffed.
“Oh please,” she laughed. Duke just grinned and continued on.
“Or maybe it was that man that’s always running around town in such a hurry, I bet he’s got some pretty strong legs.”
Miss Holiday chuckled as Duke continued his joking.
“Y’know, I bet it was the mayor, that’s why this baby is so strong he’s feisty.”
Miss Holiday laughed out loud at that.
“Oh god Duke who do you think I am? I’d never sleep with the mayor, he's awful!”
Duke laughed with her before asking the question.
“So, who is his father?”
Miss Holiday took a deep breath, trying to figure out a way to answer. “Before I moved here I was with someone very special to me. But that time is over now. And Duke I…I just-I can’t…I…thank you, Duke. For being here. With me. I love you.” She breathed with a few tears in her eyes. Duke took her hand and brushed the tears from her eyes.
“Hey, hey look at me. I love you. And I love this baby. And whatever happened in your past brought you here to me and I’m so glad it did because I can’t imagine my life without you. And someday when you’re ready we can talk about the past, or we can just forget it, alright? Let’s focus on the future. Our future.”
Miss Holiday smiled and kissed Duke’s hand, bringing it to hold her face.
“Sometimes I’m bogged down by the sorrows of my past, sometimes I wish it could all just come to an end, but then when I have these moments with you I think it can’t have been all bad, you’re here with me, you’re here holding me and I’m here holding you and isn’t that worth all of it? I love you Duke, more than you’ll ever know.”
Duke kissed Miss Holiday’s forehead and moved to hold her close with her resting her head on his shoulder. The two of them laced hands over Miss Holiday’s stomach, feeling the baby kick together.
“Duke?”
Miss Holiday said quietly.
“I’m going to name him Michael. Michael Douglas Holiday.”
Duke smiled and his eyes gleamed with happiness.
“You’re naming him after me?”
He asked with pride.
“Who else? I hope he grows up to be as wonderful as you Duke. You and this baby are the most important people in my life.”
Duke kissed her forehead again and the two of them stayed there for awhile, holding each other and thinking of their future with their son. Although Duke would never know the baby was his, Miss Holiday knew he’d love him either way. She buried her face in his neck and kissed him.
“I love you Duke”
“I love you Darlin”

ok this sounds insane but in 2018 i went to a few carnivorous plant talks at the botany conference in minnesota. i got caught up in conversation with one of the guys there who was a huge nepenthes guy who told me a story about another collector in the pacific northwest who'd been buying poached plants, like a huge amount, and eventually got staked out by the fish and wildlife service and arrested and had all his plants seized and went to prison for it. idk if i ever talked about this on this blog before-- i know i liveblogged a lot from that conference but cant remember what all i posted-- but ive avoided talking about it since then because i was never able to find like, news articles or anything covering it, but behold.... we now have proof it was real, and im like 80% sure this was this guy he was talking about. the raid happened in 2016 and they'd been staking them out since 2013. he had nearly 400 plants and had been sourcing many of them from poachers in indonesia and borneo.
remember folks: poaching happens with plants too! it's a huge problem not only in carnvirous plants (nepenthes especially, which this piece is dedicated to talking about) but also in native plant populations in the US, including native carnivorous plant populations (north and south carolina's venus fly traps, california's darlingtonia, and sarracenia from the east coast), native orchids (historically one of the most poached categories), desert plants/cacti/succulents, and slow-growing woody ornamentals (cycads, for example). never buy bare-root plants off ebay or facebook! your best bet is local nurseries (which usually purchase farm-raised plants that do well in a wide range of conditions, and as a result have a healthy population in the wild) or specialty greenhouses (more expensive, but at least in the case of carnivorous plants offer young plants bred from established adult plants in-house, raised in captivity).
