Aight thoughts on todays bbh lore cuz we got A LOT. Just stay with me through my nerding about trees it’ll be worth it XD

We pretty much got 100% confirmation that he is intentionally hurting Baghera and Forever and that he thinks of himself as expendable. What fascinates me the most is when Bad asked Foolish this

“Is there anything wrong with burning the forest to save the trees?”

At first glance you might think YES if u burn the forest then there won’t be any trees??!! However it is a custom on fire risk zones to create controlled fires that burn up brush and dead trees so that the risk of a natural and far more devastating fire is reduced. Additionally, if a fungus infects a forest, burning the infected trees may be the only way to prevent the spread to the rest of the forest.

On top of that, there is a specific type of tree species that requires fires in order to reproduce. These are often Pine trees that drop pinecones. Pinecones hold seeds inside them that only germinate when immense heat is applied to them: the heat of a forest fire. When they are within these temperatures, the seeds germinate and the pine cones pop, scattering the seeds on the forest floor. These trees adapted to form a symbiotic relationship with fire one of if not the most destructive natural forces on the earth.

Do you know one of the trees that has developed this adaption? Redwoods.

Do you know which tree bbh brought up when giving Jaiden a PINECONE gift for her birthday today? A Redwood.

I’m like actually going insane. This can’t be a coincidence right????? I’m not going crazy right???

The whole reason I noticed this scene is because I live near the redwood forests in California and I know all about the way these trees depend on fires for their survival. It’s something that’s always fascinated me. That’s when I assume Bad was going to ask foolish the above question before Jaiden and Teana cut their conversation short while they were talking on the Titian . He literally had these specific trees on his mind when he was going to ask about burning down the forest.

Let me tell you another thing about Redwood trees. They are ancient. They are massive. They are sturdy. Natural fires are a common phenomenon here and a majority of the redwoods survive with barely a scratch, maybe an inch or two of its outer bark scorched. Nothing it won’t grow past in a year or two when these trees easily live for 500+ years.

(Side note, if there is one place in America you should visit it’s the redwood forests of California. It is literally like entering a portal to another world. These trees are 10-15 ft in diameter easily and you can just feel how ancient the forests are. It’s one of my all time favorite places to go)

So, in the situation Bad is proposing, burning the forest to save the trees, he is actively thinking about Redwoods in this hypothetical. Not only trees that are extremely resistant to fire but trees that depend on fire to survive. That completely changes the way he is approaching this question.

In his hypothetical, the forest will burn. The animals will die. The brush and non redwoods will turn to ash. The land will be scarred and the trees themselves may look dead, branchless and black. But. But. A season will pass and new branches will peel through the charcoal. Seeds deep in the soil will surge forth as the soil is fed nutrients from the ash. Animals will return. Pinecones will shed their fertilized seeds to give birth to a new generation of trees. And by next year, the forest will look just as vibrant as it had before the fire. Trees may bear the scars of the flames but life continues and it continues and it continues always.

I might actually be going crazy bbh makes me crazy cc!bbh makes me crazy I’m losing my mind

I’ve always loved medicine bc it’s the perfect intersection of science and humanity—the two things I value above all else in this world. Truly adored it since I was in the cradle. But now I’m thinking about how so much of my journey to neurosurgery will have to involve KILLING my feelings essentially bc how do you survive otherwise

#Not to mention the surprisingly high suicide rate of surgeons that’s been brought to my attention lately #Honestly I just started my neuro internship and just saw my first patient in clinic #And on the day I did I was critical of my neurologist for being so robotic about it #Now I can see why #I’m still at a point where I can’t even do a chart review for a patient without feeling so fucking sad #And I can see how that can get unsustainable after a while #But it’s like if I kill the feelings that drive my passion for medicine to begin with then what’s the point #It’s not like I’m in it for the money or prestige bc that’s so dumb considering how long the schooling is #But literally how to deal #My supervisors at the clinic very much all speak about the dementia patients w a learned impartialness #But I don’t wanna be that way one day :( but how to be anything else and still survive #I’m pre med so I still have time and maybe my opinion will change and I’ll wanna do another specialty #But when it comes to this every specialty will involve human lives and navigating that regardless #That said I can see why surgeons are at higher risk or depression suicide etc #The whole point of this internship is to teach myself how to navigate this stuff but. Hate it #p #med tag

“kids are so stupid these days, the ipad babies are ruining the world, ten year olds skip school and goes to sephora—“ do you have any idea what it’s been like to go to american public school within the last 15 years? can you blame a child for not wanting to spend 8 hours a day in a place where their safety and autonomy aren’t just not considered, but are blatantly denied?

mass shootings every day. funding being cut. school lunches— which were already the bare minimum in terms of nutrition— being removed. those alone would give anyone trauma, but even without those things the power structures inside of the average public school are designed to wring the individuality out of a child. (and that’s not even mentioning the way that neurodivergent kids are left out to dry by the school system, or how any marginalized kid can be tortured by their peers with no repercussions!) it’s designed to be miserable, and yet somehow people are surprised that kids don’t want to be there.

sandy hook happened in 2012, and nothing changed. uvalde ten years later, and still nothing. kids were forced back into overcrowded, unsanitary classrooms while covid was still killing thousands every day— most after having missed critical social development during lockdown, which there was no support for recovering from. children are being forced to see politicians debate the “ethics” of feeding them, letting them express their gender identity, allowing them to access accurate information about history as if their futures are just hypothetical. along with that is the social media boom, where marginalized people can create communities like never before, and those same kids are realizing that the systems they’ve been shoved into are broken. they’re being showed how awful the situation really is, and still completely powerless to change anything.

can you imagine having to go through all that and still pass your standardized fucking tests? my god, it’s a wonder that schools aren’t completely empty by now. we’re getting there though— i can’t count how many stories i’ve heard of kids dealing with truancy charges because of how many days of school they’ve “skipped” due to extreme anxiety or burnout. i’m one of them! i barely graduated in 2018, and the conditions were leagues better then!

people bitch about the “decline in intelligence” between generations, as if it’s the kids fault for the state of the world, as if this isn’t the inevitable conclusion for the public school system in this country. it feels deliberately ignorant— have you not watched the news recently? does it not evoke any empathy, does it not fill you with rage? how in the world could you pin the blame on kids here?

everyone says protect the children, and yet. fuckin sickening.

#mm says stuff #sorry for the rant i’m pissy about something i saw on twitter #people bitching about kids ‘skipping school’ because they were too anxious or depressed #like be fr right now #i BARELY graduated bcos of school shooting anxiety & bullying making me burn out so hard in high school #i can’t imagine how bad my sisters have it now. christ #have empathy for kids these days ™️#they have it worse than you can fuckin imagine #school shooting mention

Dear friend, one of my favorite tropes is cult horror (as in horror centered around a cult, not cult classic films) do you have any recs now that Tuesday the 31st is around the corner? I know classic horror blog posted some recently but I'd seen a lot of em. [Sidebar, it never ceases to be funny to me that he and yourself are some of the most popular horror posters on this site while your names are. Trent and Brittany, some of the most stereotypical popular kids who don't like horror names there are lol]

I don’t remember what he posted so I might repeat some movies but here we go:

The Wicker Man (duh)

The Invitation (2015)

The Empty Man

The Void

The Endless

Satanic Panic

V/H/S/2 (Safe Haven segment)

The City of the Dead

All the Colors of the Dark

The Sacrament

Lord of Illusions

Apostle

Kill List

Martyrs

Drive Angry

Red State

HEY YOU!!!! 🫵

Are you a Christian?✝️

Is your faith wavering, but you’re still latched onto your beliefs because if you don’t, you worry about the possibility of going to 🔥HELL🔥????

Do you worry obsessively about the end times and the pain dynamics of burning in a lake of fire for all eternity and how that would all work out, like if your soul would get used to it or if the fire would find a way to hurt more over time, like what is eternal torture even??? 🔥🐥🔥🍗🔥🪨🔥

Do you worry about questioning your faith for even a second, because you’re certain that the moment you did, the antichrist would reveal himself and everyone but you would be raptured????? 🙂😈

Do I have the book for you:

#Christianity #book recommendations #Elaine pagel #religon #visions prophecy and politics in the book of revelations #I grew up very brainwashed so these fears were always on my mind as a kid #I broke out of most of the bullshit by the time i graduated high school but the fear still lingered #but several years ago I read this book and it was like a weight had lifted from my shoulders #everything makes sense #but right now it’s more important than ever to question the Christian faith #america is supposed to have a separation of church and state and you wouldn’t THINK THAT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS #Biden’s a democrat but he’s still VERY!!!! CATHOLIC!!!!#so please read this and understand what the church is actually based on #I’m out of my phase where I think Christianity can help certain people with trauma #now I’m in my phase where I know Christianity does more harm than good #religious trauma mention

28 year old men at uni can’t get enough of my approachable theythem swag

#I do not mean this in a good or bad way. just an observation #i cannot go anywhere in this place without acquiring satellites who make small talk and ask me my pronouns #I am inclined to believe they do genuinely just have intentions of being friends #bc I mention my bf casually every so often when relevant so as to gently discourage any ideas just in case #and they still stick around. so I think they just want a friend in class #I must just come off as very non-threatening which I don’t mind at all #I am not the type to start conversations with strangers unprompted but I don’t mind other people doing the same to me #the social feel of uni is very different to how highschool was. it feels more laidback but also more isolated I guess #in high school friendships seemed to just kind of happen #in uni it feels like something you have to consciously initiate and keep up each week #I’m really glad I signed up for a club & also went to the workshop days for neurodivergent students #I’ve met the most good people from those things

Sometimes I remember that these two (Tommy Siegel guitarist of my favorite band and Emily Axford one of my favorite live play dnd players) dated in college and laugh a little

#Tommy Siegel #jukebox the ghost #Emily Axford #dimension 20 #like what a fucking coincidence #Tommy is the guitarist of jukebox the ghost and jtg got their start in college but they were called The Sunday Mail at the time #I started listening to them in high school long before dimension 20 was a thing had no idea who Emily was #on their naddpod patreon Emily mentioned she dated a guy in college who was a musician and drew comics of birds with butts these days #that’s how I know this #the thing with his picture that I’m holding is his 2024 calendar of ‘emtremelt accurate birds’

oh and speaking of mata. first semester of uni i listened to szafir so much that to this day whenever i hear it i get transported back in time and it feels like being 19 and wearing a ln olive green chunky turtleneck and a long skirt with big flowers on it and the clear phonecase and red wired earphones and the weather being shit and feeing deeply out of place and lonely but also weirdly at peace with everything

#like nothing was going bad objectively i was doing ok i was just kind of lonely and missed high school a bit #and i’m already kind of standoffish and i think i was coming across as really strange to everyone #but i also really liked the way i dress and i was getting back into reading a lot and idk!!!#it’s jarring that i’m finishing undergrad already it feels like i just started #and the 3 years in middle school were an eternity and hs 3 years was like 5 years at least #and now the 3 years were like a couple of months #whatever. WHATEVER #anyway i still love that song literally a bemowo mention ❤️#📓

The jump scare when Liam said “make Orym’s mom Cherry Jones as a halfling” knocked six years off my life. Like DEEP FUCKING CUT LIAM. STAY OUT OF MY HOUSE.

#cherry jones is better known now than she was when I was in high school because of 24 and succession #but like she’s a Tony award winning broadway actress who is from my SHITTY NOWHERE HOMETOWN #so when people randomly mention her in the wild I’m like EXCUSE????#critical role

your LoD art made me remember how much I loved this series back when I was in high school. thanks for the lovely trip down memory lane, and your art is absolutely gorgeous

AWW THANKS SO MUCH!!! These books have been so much fun to read over the last several months and they’ve honestly single-handedly rekindled my own childhood love for reading and high fantasy. I’m happy to hear that you like my art and that my own enjoyment of this series has brought back good memories for you, I’m honored 💚

#asks #talk #anon #you had wonderful taste in high school anon #also I don’t remember if I mentioned this in tags or in a post or something anywhere but I actually was given the Icewind Dale trilogy book #when I was in high school by my grandpa #I remember I started reading it and didn’t like it at first because it was so different from the YA fantasy novels i was into at the time #and I never got past like the first chapter and it went on my bookshelf never to be touched again #and then I grew up and watched LOTR for the first time and played DND for the first time and broadened my horizons honestly #and then played BG3 and heard people mentioning Drizzt and I was like. ‘who even is this guy where is he from’#my bookshelf that’s where he’s from #LOL #anyway all that to say that these books are turning out to mean a lot more to me than I ever expected they would #not to be too sentimental but it’s just been such a lovely time and I’m so glad that other people are just as fond of them #stories with a small bit dedicated group of fans like this are always such a wonderful community to be a part of too #I’m so fond of everyone else who posts about Drizzt here #idk sorry for the tag essay I’m just being gooey LOL #anyway.#💚

Nothing is interesting anymore. I don’t want to write, or play video games, doing other art is too much work and I have no inspiration. Watching YouTube is tedious at best because I have nothing interesting to watch after I finish the series I’m currently working through. I have no shows to watch on tv. I don’t want to listen to any of the podcasts I listen to. And even talking with friends is too much work and too much stress.

#not to mention I feel so sensitive rn that I’m scared to talk to anyone #I don’t know why but I am #I think I’ve been struggling with really high empathy #which has been hurting me a little bit #so idk what to do #I honestly don’t even want to do school work anymore #I feel hopeless and I just want to give up #rambling #phever dreams with phantom #delete later

your experiences are not universal, just because you were taught media literacy well in school does not mean everyone else around you was taught media literacy well or even at all. Just because you were taught media literacy well does not mean everyone around you was just shit at paying attention

#talk away ⌞🍵🍋 ⌝#I wil repeat this as many times as I need to #YOUR EXPERIENCES ARE NOT UNIVERSAL #just because YOU got a good education that doesn’t mean everyone else was just dumb #please get off your high horse and realize some people were just less fortunate #and didn’t go to a school with such a good education system #media literacy #education #schools #I don’t usually make posts like this #but I saw a post on this and it really annoyed me #“not paying attention” may be a reason for these issues #but it’s not always the rout cause #and I’m tired of people pretending it is #like good for you that you got taught important things such as media literacy #it is genuinely important to learn that #but please also acknowledge that some people just aren’t as fortunate to go to schools that do that #honestly not even media literacy #just stuff that should be taught in school in general #but the post was talking about media literacy so that’s what I’m mentioning
