Inktober day 10- manchineel

This plant has the nickname little apple of death and none of it should be touched under any circumstances. The fruit is poisonous, the bark will give you welts and the sap from the leaves does something else unpleasant.

I learnt about it because of a tumblr meme.

[tropic-havens]

Manchineel, aka Hippomane mancinella, aka 'The little apple of death' is native to the Floridian Everglades but has been introduced to many other areas. As to why I have no idea, since the plant itself is sooo poisonous that just standing under the tree during storms can cause rashes and blisters (no kidding!). The fruit is toxic, and the sap from the leaves and stems is too, due to its phorbol content. If touched, the irritants found in manchineel sap can produce inflammation and painful blisters on the skin. Even the smoke produced from burning the wood injures the eyes. It's not all grey though. As the principles of Ayurvedic medicine state, "There is no plant on earth, that, in fair doses, cannot be a lifesaving medicine, or, in unfair doses, be the deadliest venom'. As such, native people have used Manchineel as medicine, gum made from the bark can reportedly treat edema, and dried fruits have even been used as diuretics. And for some reason, the fruit (one of the most toxic parts) is reported to taste delicious, like a ripe plum, making it attractive to small children.

Apparently carpenters in the Caribbean used to make furniture out of Manchineel wood, and I kind of want some. Something about a danger cabinet appeals to me.

ROUND ONE: Manchineel apple vs. Freezable gel ice pack

Propaganda:

manchineel apple:

look at it, it looks like it would be so good for any kind of cooking you would use food apples in. It supposedly tastes pleasantly sweet, but it will also kill you painfully if you try to eat it

god keeps inventing Forbidden Apples and this time he filled it with Horrible Death

Freezable gel ice pack:

Tell me that's not a new and wonderful type of fruit. Juice in a tough skin. Forbidden coconut

They're CHEWY you can bite them and they just taste like plastic texture. The insides are fun colours. They're like those gelatin capsules you really want to bite into except really big with a big "Poisonous" label on the side

#manchineel apple #Freezable gel ice pack #it's a goddamn poll #eating the inedible #forgoing usual image formatting bc tumblr said no #and look. its a poll #wouldnt you rather have an incorrectly image-formatted poll than none at all #darlings be proud of me #inedibles round one

Mass taught York how to speak English. Every time York would do well Mass would give him a pat. Firm believe of York seeing Mass as a brother/father figure he called Mass ‘dad’ once and Mass never forgot. He may have cried that day

(Part 1)

Hippomane mancinella is native to Florida and one of the most toxic trees. The sap is very very toxic, even water that drips off leaves in the rain can instantly cause nasty, raised blisters on the skin, or strip the paint off cars parked beneath them. People who have fanned themselves with branches have gone blind for 3 days. The ‘death apples’ are poisonous too, it may be because they are meant to be dispersed by the tide rather than being eaten by some animal. To remove a tree you don’t cut it down, you burn the base of the tree and let the wood sit in the sun for days to neutralize the sap.

Manchineel but with poison miku outfit and the poison type outfit from this!

#fruitbugs manchineel #o #rose'socs #i used a ref for the first pic but cant find the picture at all sorry. Don't remember who shared it </3 #and it was a real person's pic (a passerby but real nonetheless) so im not comfy just posting it myself? in a reblog i mean #however the second pose no ref did it all by myself like a grown up #i sketched out the pose on a post it note but i have a lot of those and only rediscovered it today and. I actually got the pose wrong oops #like the feet were supposed to be more apart and have a stronger persp going on. i dont say that like negatively- #i say that as a note that you might one day see a similar pose- the intended one- on another character. Or not. mayb manchi again #oh and second pic the centipede tail is a prosthetic- it's his favorite!

planning out a canon-complicit tgcf fic is so hard not only bc I have to be even stricter with remaining in-character and faithful to lore but also the physical setting itself. for example. ahem:

DID THEY HAVE BANANAS IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS?

LOOK AT--NO LOOK AT ME. LOOK IN MY EYES. WOULD ANYONE IN TGCF KNOW WHAT A BANANA IS. LOOK AT ME-

#hewwo #NOW. i do i have some non-exhaustive research into the HISTORICAL conditions of fruit in china during the different real life dynasties #for example. watermelon only showed up in ''china'' around 10th century onwards. before that it was mostly in the indian subcontinent #but what about bananas. what about other tropical fruits from farther south #DO THEY KNOW OF THE HUMBLE ATIS. THE DURIAN. THE LANGKA. THE ARATILIS #unfortunately they definitely won't have manchineels (north/south american fruit) so i can't use that. much as i wish to 🙄

what kind of pet would riddler have? (Batman unburied, Arkham, and Gotham.) what would they name it? Would it be and inside or outside pet? Would they have activly sought out the pet, or did it come home with them from the streets? Etc etc

Riddler's Pet headcanons

Ooooh, that's an interesting question! I love this omg 💝

💚 Gotham

... Does Oswald count as a pet that he picked up in the woods and nursed back to health? No? Okay.

So I'm thinking that one day, during work, he was called in a scene wherein a mugging took place. An elderly man was killed while he was walking his dog, and Edward caught a glimpse of the dog getting taken to custody because it showed signs of attacking the mugger, perhaps they can gather clues from the dog. The aforementioned dog, a five month old Aspin, golden in brown in colour.

Once they gathered the DNA to pursue the mugger, Edward asked what will happen to the dog and since the little one's remaining family is killed, it will be given to the dog shelter... Edward then decided to take the dog impulsively, to fulfill unfulfilled childhood dreams. He's always wanted a dog since he was a kid, but his father didn't allow them because of loud they are. So he filed the needed documents to adopt the dog, researched about caring for a dog, and now he's set.

The dog had a name, Adobo. Upon researching the previous owner, he happened to be Filipino and the origin of the name comes from a dish, called Adobo... Something Edward found a little grim.

Anyways, Edward's inner child was delighted and he couldn't be more happier about his split-second decision to have a dog. Catch this motherfucker talking to Adobo at 3 AM about riddles, stroking its head in content.

💚 Arkhamverse

In his Origin days, his apartment had a balcony. His apartment really didn't allow pets, but he couldn't care less because he really doesn't have any of those roaming little things. But then one day, he happens to be just hanging out in his balcony, when a crow landed and decided, "Fuck yeah, I'm now your responsibility."

Edward being bored, entertained the thing by giving it some grain of rice. Then after that he didn't think any of it when it flew away after eating the rice... But then it returned the next day so he gave it rice again out of boredom... But then weeks later, he realised he now owns a bird. Sometimes the crow flies ahead and follows him to work, Edward once attempted to make them perch on his finger but failed... But don't worry, there's still time to train the bird. Instead of giving it rice, he actually began to purchase proper bird seeds.

He affectionately calls the bird Rotten bird, because that's so creative. So you know how crows can also imitate human speech? Yeah, Rotten bird can say its name back to Edward and boy, he was wide eyed the first time it spoke. Not only that, the bird makes a weird kinda like 'meow' sound, so Edward hypothesised that it must've had a nest next to cats.

One day, Rotten nested in his drawer and laid a fat ass egg when he was working and he is panicked. But yeah, eat your heart out, Scarecrow.

💚 Batman Unburied

A black, domestic short-haired cat that he calls "Meow meow", because he initially used it as a way to communicate with it, but instead imprinted it as its name.

As many cat owners out there can relate to, instances of cat getting in your living space and acts as though its theirs and announces themselves as your new family member, that is how Edward Nashton came to be a cat owner as well. He is the chosen one.

He's grown to be fond of it, at first he really tried to shoo it out but then a storm raged and he had no choice but to shelter the cat and promised himself that he'll shoo it out tomorrow.... Then he didn't.

His in and out in Arkham is something bad, he's aware so he's initially reluctant to keep the cat even if he thinks it's cute. So he tried to shoo them away... Only for it to return in his living space. But then he's soon to learn that the thing is self-sufficient, snagging birds from the air under the tree branches as sustenance... At the very first instance that happened, his jaw dropped watching Meow Meow eat the bird, before it plopped on his lap purring as if it wasn't being its primal predatory self.

He doesn't have an experience with pets, but he did his research. Got the kitty vaccinated, and if he's out of Arkham, tries to bathe and trim Meow Meow's claws, etc etc. So whenever he is incarcerated, he assigns Meow Meow to his close friends to watch over.
