Whichever anon sent me this today, thank you. There's no way you could have known, but a couple of days ago I suddenly and without warning lost a cat that I raised from the day he was born. When I saw this in my inbox I was confused at first, because what...checkmark...huh...but then I realized that it meant somebody had sent me something--out of the blue, just because--at a time that I really could use something good in my life, even something silly and fun. So, really, thank you. And green is my favorite "real" color, so having one of the checkmarks be green is pretty neat.

I've not really been able to draw anything worth anything lately, believe it or not, so here's the last picture I have of my Night Furry. He loved drives and walks, so earlier this summer on a road trip I took him to the top of the continental divide for a little hike.

(Yes, he's wearing a harness. He had an adventurous and independent temperament, so there was always a risk of him running off to explore someplace where he shouldn't go alone. I didn't just make him wear it because I'm a cruel and stifling cat butler.)

#yo somebody talked to me #/end classification tags #his name is toothless by the way #after the dragon in how to train your dragon of course #ALSO by the way #i would NORMALLY give myself time to actually process this sort of thing and recover because i'm pretty sure i'm in psychological shock #but i'm moving halfway across the continent in like two days (less than a week after he got sick) so there was no way to just #cancel that or delay it or something #so i'm having to just get over it or whatever #👍 #the car ride is going to be lonely but at least i have one more cat to keep me as good of company as she can #even if we've never been as close as toothless and i were #a VERY IMPORTANT note to all of the pet owners who follow me: PLEASE check your yards for poisonous plants #regularly and repeatedly even if there wasn't anything dangerous there before #even if you're only staying in the area for a little while #even if you only let your pets out under close supervision #even if you trust your landlord/landlady (if you rent) #because i was all of those and this still happened #check every single plant out there and be 100% sure you KNOW what each one is #did you know that silverleaf nightshade looks nothing like other kinds of nightshade? #neither did i because i never lived in this area before #anyway sorry for the dump y'all #i don't generally like to share a lot of details about my personal life but i think i'm not quite myself right now #poor little guy hadn't even lived half his expected lifespan so i wasn't ready for this to happen for years #i've been kicking myself over it for days even though i know the blame doesn't TECHNICALLY lie with me and it's messing with my psyche #he was a very special cat #in korean the term is 개양이 and google says the english is puppycat #a cat that is friendly and acts like a dog #i will likely never get a cat anything like him again and that's an awful thing to realize #i would go broke and risk my future to have him back which is stupid i know but he was really something else

I found some more poisonous flowers... These are Silverleaf Nightshade. They were growing on the side of the road, near where I live. Why are the pretty ones always toxic?!

I did also find another couple of silverleaf nightshades growing much much closer to my home than the guys I saw on Monday but it’s like. It’s SUCH a dubious little location. It’s Going to get mowed before it grows berries. However. It’s just so. Why do you taunt me so.

Lyra ventured into the enchanted forest today on a very urgent mission.

As the apprentice to the midwife, Lyra sometimes cares for the babies she helps bring into the world. Usually only for a short time, while their parents attend to other matters. 

Today she was caring for the daughter of the purple flower fairy. But she underestimated how mischievous fairy babies can be, and looked away for a few minutes. In that short time, the child crawled out the door of the midwife’s house, and into the forest! 

Lyra picked up her skirts and ran to follow the baby. She went a short ways in to the forest, looked around, and saw nothing. She felt entirely lost. 

Then she heard a small voice shouting her name.

At first, she couldn’t figure out where the noise was coming from. 

She looked down and realized that it was Mrs. Hazelnut calling to her! She was gathering seeds from the underbrush with two of her children.

“Are you looking for the baby?” Mrs. Hazelnut asked. 

“Yes,” said Lyra. “Did you see her come this way?”

“Not exactly,” Mrs. Hazelnut replied. “But my son did!”

“She was crawling so fast,” said the little chipmunk. “I didn’t see which direction she went.”

“But let me tell you this about babies,” continued Mrs. Hazelnut. “I’ve raised six of them, and I know they love bright colors and interesting new sights. So maybe she went towards something pretty that grows in the forest.”

Lyra knew the woods well. She brought up her mental map of the forest, and all the things that she had gathered from it. Beautiful flowers grew all over; some by the water, some in the shade, and some in the sun. But which flower patch would attract a baby the most? 

She had an idea.

Sure enough, the baby was playing in the patch of silverleaf nightshade. It’s a plant that’s poisonous to humans, but not to fairies. Especially not to purple flower fairies, who use it in their wreaths and crowns!

The midwife had told Lyra that fairy children are very precocious compared to human babies, learning to crawl, walk, talk, and fly long before their first birthdays. But Lyra had never had any experience with human babies before she had left her lonely life as a princess, imprisoned in an isolated tower far from anywhere else. 

She had a lot to learn still about being a midwife for fairies and elves!

Have some of the silverleaf nightshade that grows wild in town like a damn weed.

I respect this little patch in particular, no matter how hard the city culls back these little papery stars, paler than their dusty lavender siblings, it grows back every time, just as tenacious as the rest.

Love those stubborn little poisons. 💜💜💜

#answers to questions nobody asked #fun fact it's also known as white horsenettle which always catches in my brain when I'm playing fnv #yes i know they're a noxious weed that can do significant harm to people and livestock but belladonna is my favorite girlboss

I met a new-ish friend. A nightshade I hadn't seen around (well, around close enough to observe) before.

Silverleaf Nightshade lives up to it's name. It is elegant. It cuts through, and dismantles.

I'm uncertain what it wants from me, but it's murmuring at me.

Silverleaf Nightshade. Spotted this for the first time in the horse alley. Lovely and poisonous.

ooough I remembered about my little flower-pressing kit that I have and !! also the flowers I have pressed in the past!!!

(ID: A collection of dried, pressed plants against an off-white/beige background. It's mostly leaves and their stems versus flowers, though there are a couple large flowers in the lower right-hand corner. Notably, two orange trumpet-flowers, a pale purple silverleaf nightshade flower with prominent yellow pistils (? I hope that's right), and a pinkish-purple crepe myrtle flower. /end of ID)

I remember being able to get a lot of these because my dad moved out and none of us knew how to mow the lawn, so there were a bunch of "weeds" growing out back in addition to the few intentionally-planted... plants that were out there as well (tick city...)!! These are all a few years old at this point. Crazy to think about, actually.

But as much as I remember all of that, I don't remember what plants ALL of these came from. Especially the leaves. Though I was thinking about it and I feel like the largest leaves shown here were also from the trumpet-flower (also, I believe, called the "devil's shoelaces"... I believe that based on how prolific this plant was haha). I also remember some of the smaller leaves (perhaps you can't see it, but some of these leaves are "dappled") are from a "polka-dot plant" that I was taking care of for a while that died in a move. I miss that plant.

I believe the long, thin grasses (left-hand side) were "bermuda grass" that ended up flowering. I remember being to thoroughly fascinated when I realized that the little fuzzy-looking bits on the grass may've been FLOWERS, of all things. I didn't (and still don't) have a microscope or anything so I was unable to get a good look for myself, but I pressed them anyways. And the reason I'm confident about it being "bermuda grass" is because I remember my family putting down sod when we first moved to that house... Partly cuz I helped and it was so much work lmao.

One more thing that I might be remembering is that we had a lot of a plant that I struggled to identify growing in the backyard. AND I WOULD LIKE TO Clarify that I am not an expert!! This is very much JUST a hobby! Anyways, I think I settled on a plant (type of plant?) called "ragweed" due to knowing how quickly it spread and the way it looked/grew. It was a tall plant with, frankly, beautiful bunches of cute little white flowers. I never touched them a whole lot because I read somewhere that they can cause contact dermatitis... and I didn't really want to find out the hard way.

Anyways, I hope y'all think this as cool as I do. I also have some carnations that I pressed at my mom's request, so maybe I'll remember to scan those in too... We'll see.

Have a good day.

#marten's talkin #not art #pressed plants #forreals though i was so jazzed about finding these lmao #its crazy to think about how much time ive already dedicated to #learning abt my surroundings in such a short time #even though this feels like forever ago to me #anyways thanks for reading #i appreciate having a place to talk abt this stuff #my ex-friends used to look at me weird or interrupt me any time i tried to talk abt it w them... so yeah im grateful ig

Found this lonely little sunflower growing through the cracks of concrete, while on a night walk with my aunts. Tractors and mowers cut down miles of sacred datura, scarlet globemallow, silverleaf nightshade, wild morning glory, and, yes, lots and lots of sunflowers.
