One big thing that gets missed in the conversation about native plants is that when considering a plant, you really should ask two questions:
1. Where, specifically, is it native to?
2. Within that region, what ecosystem conditions does it live in? Will it thrive where you intend to plant it?
I cannot tell you how many times I've come across a plant labeled as native that doesn't even grow in my state. Sure, it's native to the continent, but not this side of the rocky mountains! That's not nearly specific enough if your goal is to support endemic animal species and the overall ecosystem.
You also need to consider what conditions that plant needs to thrive. One example I see a lot of here is planting understory plants in full sun. They're stressed out, they're getting sunburnt, and they're slowly dying. People will also try the reverse, planting praire plants in deep shade, and wonder why they're all floppy and anemic looking. Plants may be native to your area, but they still have specific needs and you will have much greater success if you match the conditions you have to a plant that will thrive there.
A third, extra credit question is a two parter: is it endemic (aka, unique to your region) or does it have a a broader, or even circumpolar distribution? I mean, check out the range maps for Henderson's shooting star & twinflower:

Twinflower is found across the northern portions of Eurasia as well.
The second part is, are any of the vulnerable species in your area depending on it? An example from my area is Viola Adunca, which has a pretty broad range,
Tumblr media
But is also host to multiple fritilary butterfly species in my area, some of which are on the decline and some of which are no longer found in my state. Due to habitat loss. Both due to human activity (agriculture, subdivisions, etc) and human inactivity (banning the intentional burns the Native peoples did, that maintained the Oak savanna ecosystem, leading them to be "invaded" by non-fire adapted Douglas firs, another native species. Also at the same time making the region more vulnerable to bigger and more devastating wild fires).

For me, it's about those quiet assurances that we are not the people who raised us.
I wore the hideous shirt my mother bought me for my birthday to dinner, just because I knew it would make her happy to see it. She asked me how my day was and then proceeded to cut me off with, "shut up, for the love of god" not even 5 minutes later.
It's sometimes hard to see ourselves past the shadow of the people who raised us - anyone who has experienced parental abuse knows the gut-clenching sting of being told you're "just like them" - but from you to me: you are there. Even in the smallest of choices. I see you. Don't stop looking for yourself.

since we are all in agreement that zabraks are like, cat-lizard-alien people, then they should have an aversion to water (or some kind of chemical) due to their biology, and an affinity for a different chemical, like how cats love wool and sheep because wool is full of lanolin, an oil produced by nursing cats that induces nursing behavior in kittens and adult cats alike.
adult zabraks are reduced to kittens when they smell a certain kind of fabric/a certain alien species that naturally produces lanolin/its space equivalent. because in a galaxy that large, it has to be possible. even funnier if iridonia is home to a second native alien species that evolved to produce space-lanolin so ancient zabraks didn’t eat them.

my sympathy for vegans getting a flood of “DEBATE MEEEE” comments versus my frustration that their explanations and reasoning for vegan-ness still being fucking shit
#‘why are you arguing against someones life choices! their behavior isn’t a reflection on you!’ well A) i’m not actuall the one being critica#critical in this scenario i know better than to actually involve myself in that shit#b) Once You Start Making Ethical Arguments That Inherently Involves Everybody Fucking Else#AND THEN WHEN YOUR ARGUMENTS HAVE HOLES IT JUST. ACK#sorry but regaurdless of whether humans bred chickens or sheep to produce a surplus of That Stuff We Get From Them doesn’t make the fact tha#that harvesting that surplus SHOULD BE (not IS) harmless irrelevant#think i fucked up the grammer there. love how you can’t see the whole tag in the tags system#on mobile i mean#and like. suggesting selective breeding to REMOVE traits humans tampered into animals is still fuckin assumptive of what we even actually#meddled with#like jfc. veganism is an entirely fucking rational response to the animal industry’s plethora of degredations towards dignity and life#JUST CITE THAT#and while the plant agriculture industry is also completely fucked people still rely on it moreso than meat thus the demand is inelastic#and also theres hypothetically more room for actually ethical consumption. probably#veganism isnt INHERENTLY a step towards more ethical environmental practices but done not-catastrophically-wrong its stil a fucking improvem#improvement! and likewise it isn’t the ONLY road to making shit more ethical at least if you can accept that there is some ideal ‘ethical an#‘ethical animal agriculture’ that exists as a possibility out there#not to mention the whole ‘personal choices versus systemic change’ thing and how whe our politics affect our personal consumption that doesn#‘t really mean dick-all compared to actual collective efforts

crawling out of the woodwork, covered in dust hewwo
sorry to anyone who has wondered where i've been, if that's been anyone at all
i fell out of making art for kingdom hearts, and i was tempted to make this huge post with receipts to explain why, but instead i think it will be easier to just say this: fandom zines suck, and a mod that ran the ienzo/zexion zine i was in harassed me into basically just giving up and not making any art of him or posting about him.
the experience i had in that zine was bad enough that i had to make this decision: from now on, i will not participate in fandom zines run by other people. i love making and helping with zines so this really upsets me, and i hope to get back into the zine scene soon. maybe self-published is the way to go for me, im not sure. i am not even sure i can return to the zine scene at all because the deadline stress is too much for me, personally.
i've also become hesitant to participate in fandom events at all anymore. the exception has been the TWEWY secret santa that's happened the last 2 decembers, and that's because i am comfortable enough with the mod and people involved that i know im not going to be like. Harassed. lol
i lost my drive to create KH stuff at all because interacting with it, and especially making stuff about ienzo, who is my favorite, would have opened me up to furthered harassment, and i just didn't want to deal with it. due to the nature of working on the zine and being sent a copy of it, it's very possible the person who harassed me could make a lot of trouble for me if i say anything at all, which is why i just Haven't until now. they have my name and previous address, which i gave to them before the harassment started. i was required to give it to them to be compensated even slightly for my work. so this being potentially used against me, for what amounts to expressing my own opinions on my own blog, made me hesitant to say anything or involve myself further in the fandom.
all i did was say the very normal and lukewarm opinion of "it makes me uncomfortable when people want to see someone fuck their adoptive parent figures, and i don't want people like that following me", and said mod ended up DMing me to chastise me about it. im not going to name that mod or share the screenshots openly, because that would be taken by them as 'harassment', ironically, and i just would like to move on.
that, combined with a lot of things going on IRL, has made posting difficult for me. tbh, i've barely drawn anything since june of last year. Thank u to everyone who has still enjoyed my art that is already up, and to all the other ienzo/zexion enjoyers who like my art and are understanding. i miss kh and i hope i'll find the drive to be into it again soon. until then, the main things i've been into lately have been (N)TWEWY, omori, and hunter x hunter, so you might see stuff about that if and when i ever get my shit set back up.
i debated just not posting this and acting like it didn't happen. but not saying anything at all would be dishonest, and more importantly, i think people should be aware of the fact that fandom zines are not always a fun experience, and can actually be very stressful and exhausting for very little reward. i want to caution people before joining fandom events to vet the people running it a little bit if possible. you can't control who gets accepted to the zine, but you can control the people whose zines you sign up for. and if it sucks hit the bricks, which i did not do and should have lol
sometimes, you join a zine and put a lot of love and work into it, all you get out of it is being overworked and harassed. and then not all the finished pieces you made for the zine even ends up in it 🙃 did i mention you have to pay to get copies of the merch you yourself designed?
for the sake of my own sanity and to avoid certain people's ire im not gonna tag this in the main tags, and im also going to turn reblogs off. this is just an informational post about where i've been, what's been happening with me, and why it's hard for me to make stuff about ienzo right now. please just take it as such and don't be mean to anyone, regardless of what happened. if anyone is really burning for details i might be open to answering in DMs, but more than anything, i just want to get this out of my system (˚ ; - ; )👍
i hope i can go back to being the "funny ienzo guy" soon. until then i will continue to be the "funny emo boys in general" guy

i don't think the fact that multiple other people aside from myself have spoken up and have said that they felt hurt and used by you is a mere coincidence, it's a clear pattern. you told me yourself that two people you got close to before me felt used by you.
you lied to me and demonized me for even speaking up about my feelings and you immediately started spreading hate and lies to mutual friends in retaliation. that only shows your true colors and what kind of person you truly are.
i have screen recordings and conversation logs in their entirety. whatever lies you spread don't matter regardless, when there is endless proof counteracting your baseless lies.
the only people you manipulate into turning against me are mutual friends, people who don't genuinely know me and don't know anything about what happened outside of your warped narrative that's saturated in lies that you spun and painted as the truth. they're people who merely blindly believe the vitriol you spew, without taking the time to listen, understand, and see what genuinely happened. there is nothing to reinforce any of your claims, other than your blatant lies that can be disproven.
because why would you have stood by your decision to be my friend each time i checked in with you and your feelings? there were multiple opportunities to communicate to me when i was worried that something was wrong. you said you'd simply remove me if you wanted to, and told me that it didn't make sense why you would talk to me if you didn't want to be friends.
i'm sure you remember all the times you told me that you cut off the people you hurt for so much as expressing how they felt used by you, and the ease in which you told me you cut off all your exes and friends who hurt you, the people you spent hours venting to me about, and telling me about how much you wanted them to die, the people i have multiple instances of proof of you venting to me about how badly they abused you, who made fun of your feelings and told you that you're "worthless" and "nothing" to them.
and somehow, these people you claimed treated you so horribly, are the ones you're friends with all of a sudden. it's interesting how you went back to them and are friends with them, despite you only ever saying bad things about them to me.
you only ever told me that i didn't do anything wrong, and you told me that you'd have ended the friendship if you didn't want to be friends, despite your contradictory behaviors proving otherwise.
i have proof of the multiple instances where you've lied to me and you admitting to it, and proof from our mutual friend who confirmed you were spreading lies about me to them, but for whatever reason, they wouldn't elaborate on what you were saying about me.
our two mutual friends are the only ones you turn against me with genuine basis or reason, because you love instigating problems, and you love provoking and triggering me and my complex ptsd symptoms on purpose, for your own sick pleasure.
i have screenshots of everything you've said and done, your ip addresses are logged, and i have pages of explicit proof that you have been stalking my social media.
if you continue to demonize me and spread lies about me when i so much as dare to talk about your behaviors, it only adds to the myriad of evidence i have already and reinforces my points.

It was in her best interest to walk along, really. She was working after all, but...Risly has stopped by the individual out of curiosity about what they'd been doing, and she honestly had all the time in the world for work later but alas, now?
Her attention was on aiko...

sometimes i want 2 post a controversial take on twitter but valiantly resist…. but then i remember i have a tumblr which almost nobody from twt follows……..
anyways i think block chains are very silly and there are a lot of fandom people who do not know how to think for themselves.

A sheep in shepherd's clothing.
This phrase came to me a few minutes ago. Journaling about how at different points in the past I have adopted a posture of "knowing" and "teaching" things to others, as though I am not at the same maturity level and on the same journey as they are.
