True, fungi cannot survive if its host’s internal temperature is over 94 degrees. And currently, there are no reasons for fungi to evolve to be able to withstand higher temperatures. But what if that were to change? What if, for instance, the world were to get slightly warmer? Well, now there is reason to evolve. One gene mutates and an ascomycete, candida, ergot, cordyceps, aspergillus, any one of them could become capable of burrowing into our brains and taking control not of millions of us, but billions of us. Billions of puppets with poisoned minds permanently fixed on one unifying goal: to spread the infection to every last human alive by any means necessary. And there are no treatments for this. No preventatives, no cures. They don’t exist. It’s not even possible to make them. So, if that happens? We lose.
THE LAST OF US (2023-) 1.01 "When You're Lost in the Darkness" | dir. Craig Mazin

Did you know flowers have patterns and lines called Nectar Guides, that are invisible to the human eye, used to draw in pollinators? That fluoresce under UV? Like when Luida used a torch to get Vash's plant markings to react?
Tumblr media
I don't know if anyone else has made this connection but it was the first thing I thought of.

Risky
⇢ pairing: kenny mccormick x marsh!reader x craig tucker
⇢ synopsis: ❝Four (4) times that you almost got caught by the rest of the boys + the one (1) time that you actually did.❞
⇢ warning: sexual content
⇢ note: part of the [youth au] but can be read by itself!
Tumblr media
♡*・。゚// ONE (Craig):
Whenever Kenny or Craig spend their time playing video games online with the rest of the boys, you'll typically find yourself sitting on the floor in between their legs to hang out with them despite the difference in your activities.
You'll hug one of their limbs against your chest and rest a chin on their thigh, a blanket wrapped around your shoulder for warmth and a soft pillow cushioned underneath your body for comfort.
During occasions like these, you'll often occupy your own time by eating some snacks that you hand feed to the mouth of whichever boyfriend is currently playing as your unoccupied fingers swipe against the glass screen of your cellphone.
Whenever they have time to spare in between games or they're waiting the few seconds for their character to respawn, their hands will always find purchase on your head as they either run their fingers through the silky locks of your hair or pat your head for patiently waiting for him.
A variation of good girl’s or look at my pretty baby will be mumbled against your soft skin as they plant a kiss onto your forehead or cheek, gently showering you with all sorts of praise and affection.
((Kenny and Craig have found you asleep from this position from time to time, the repetitive motions of their fingers in your hair soothing you to slumber. When this happens, the boys are sure to baby you with gentle massages to your sore neck when your eyelashes softly flutter awake. The blonde will often joke about how they should get you a dog bed for underneath their gaming setup, causing you to pout and for him to pepper your face with an onslaught of kisses until you smile again. It’s hard to stay mad when he softly coos at you, Kenny greatly endeared by anything and everything you do.))
Sometimes, when you're feeling particularly needy, you like to sit on their lap so that both of your chests are pressed up against each other with your chin planted on their shoulder.
You'll either wrap your arms around their waist or drape them over their broad shoulders as you play with your own handheld gaming console behind their body.
((When you do this, Craig will often complain of the heat from the close proximity of another body and from the blanket thrown over your joined forms but he has never suggested that he doesn't like it or that he doesn't want you to do this anymore.))
If you're feeling playful, you like to tease them with small kitten licks to the expanse of skin you have access to, mixed along with the contrasting harsh suction of your mouth as you invoke a trail of vivid reds and deep purples for them to find later on.
Seeing their skin slicked up with saliva, you find joy when you blow onto the wet area and see goosebumps run along their entire body from the sensation.
Sometimes when you're feeling particularly possessive, you'll bite down just to see the imprint of your teeth against what's yours.
At a sight like that, this usually transitions into you grinding your body against their lap when you feel their hardening member underneath you.
It drives them absolutely crazy when small puffs of your hot breath quickly hits the column of their neck as you burrow your face into their skin, the sensation leaving you breathless and desperate for some much needed oxygen.
At this point, Kenny will immediately throw his controller carelessly onto the desk in front of him to go AFK so that he can get his hands on your body.
And because of his rush to touch you, he'll leave his headset on.
The blonde has absolutely no shame so he doesn't give a fuck when the boys start complaining and yelling at him for costing the whole team their win—they'll immediately shut up when they hear his low moans through the microphone, the breathy way he praises you for taking him in so well, and the lewd sounds of your slicked lips pressing against each other.
This doesn't work on Craig, however.
He chances a glance at you when you turn around from your usual position from between his legs on the floor but you just flash him an innocent smile in reassurance, your chin resuming its position against the top of his thigh but dangerously close to his crotch, more so than usual.
You'll play along with the material of his pants and the creases against the fabric in faux innocence as you watch a video on your phone, slowly inching your hand closer and closer to his member.
You palm him against your hand and the corner of your lips quirk up in a smirk when you can see his jaw tensing at the pressure you exert onto his body, his teeth clenched as he forms rigid replies to the boys.
He accidentally lets out a low but throaty groan when you place a wet kiss on the skin of his taut stomach, your unoccupied hand lightly skimming itself against his bare side and eliciting a shiver to rack throughout his whole body.
All the boys are quick to chime in with concern by asking if he's getting attacked or needs help from any one of them, Butters insistent in transferring a healing potion into the ravenette's inventory despite his refusal for aide.
Be prepared for the consequences when he finally finishes his games because that man will punish you.
"You act like a bad girl then you get treated like one."
The ravenette will edge you so that when you begin to feel the familiar build up of your release as he eats you out, you'll loudly wail when his hot tongue is immediately substituted with the cold air of the room that hits your weeping folds.
He'll sit you up on his lap while he's deep inside of you but you're not allowed to move or make any type of noise while he plays for a whole match.
He won't properly fuck you until you succeed with being quiet for an entire game.
Tumblr media
♡*・。゚// TWO (Kenny):
Whenever you guys do long distance drives that amount to an exceedingly large number of hours to get to your destination, the group will typically rotate on drivers throughout the whole trip.
It's Kenny's turn to drive one of the cars that holds the boys to somewhere warmer for a camping trip (with the amount of people in Team Stan + Team Craig including Butters and yourself, you'll usually take 2-3 cars in total).
All the other guys in the car are fast asleep at the back so you don't even take a glance at the blonde driver to the left of your position at the passenger side when your hand innocently rests itself against his thigh.
When you start to lightly trail your slender hand against his slowly hardening member, Kenny's trembling fingers will reach out to turn up the music just a tad bit so that the blissfully oblivious boys don't wake up from any suspicious sounds.
You can hear his audible gulp amongst the snoring of the sleeping teens, his hand clenching it’s hold around the leather steering wheel in front of him as you nonchalantly stare out at the passing scenery from outside the window in an attempt to hide your smirk.
He'll sing along to the music playing in an additional effort to mask up the lewd noises but his words begin to get breathier and dangerously waver when your tongue pays special attention to the vein running along his heavy length or when you swirl your wet muscle around his leaking tip.
The blond will curse underneath his breath when he can't buck his hips up to fuck your mouth like he usually does because he doesn't want the sound of you gagging or the crude noise of saliva against your slicked lips to rouse the guys from their slumber.
Kenny accidentally swerves sharply on the road when your hand wraps around the remaining girth that doesn't fit into your mouth, expertly twisting your smaller hand around the base in time to your bobbing mouth when someone from the back lightly groans at the harsh motion.
His large hand tightens itself around the hair at the base of your head as you take all of him in and the slight tugging he provides feels amazing, causing you to moan against his member.
The vibrations from the sounds you make causes him to reach his climax, the blonde biting his lips so hard to muffle his groan that all he can taste is the distinct, metallic taste of copper.
Fortunately, the boys don't wake up until 5-10 minutes after your ministrations as Clyde begins to whine about needing to use the bathroom and Cartman starting to complain about getting some more snacks for the road.
When you're at the closest gas station, filling up your plastic cup with some flavored ice-cold slushie to sip at in the car, Craig will raise an eyebrow when he tastes Kenny's lingering bitterness in your mouth when he kisses you.
Kenny will snicker when the boy's start to admonish the ravenette after they see yours and his purple stained tongues, a result from the mixture of Craig's cherry slurpee and your blue raspberry against one another.
The guys complain and strictly reiterate to the three of you that it's a bro trip with absolutely no PDA being tolerated, not knowing that the blonde broke that rule first.
Tumblr media
♡*・。゚// THREE (Craig):
It's a night in with the boys, a sleepover where the loser to the video game that they're currently playing has to go out and use Stan's car to buy some late-night snacks for everyone else.
Unfortunately for Craig, the monotonous teen lost when Jimmy played dirty and perfectly timed a harsh shove at the ravenette's shoulder when he was close to crossing the finish line.
You obediently follow him out of the door without being asked to because you always tag along with your two lovers whenever they have any errands to do and vice versa.
He wraps an arm around your shoulder to pull your body close to his in order to press a gentle kiss onto the side of your head, a wordless thank you being conveyed from the kind and loyal gesture.
As much as he wanted to, Kenny couldn't join because he's been on a winning streak, meaning he's not allowed to forfeit his controller until he loses his metaphorical crown.
You rub soothing circles onto the back of his hand, the both of you intertwining your fingers over the center console of the car when you notice him pulling over in the middle of seemingly nowhere.
"I want you, now" is the only explanation you get and you’d be fucking lying if your eyes didn’t seamlessly transition from confusion to clear want at how much this boy makes you feel so damn wanted, anywhere and at anytime.
The authoritative tone he commands you with mixes along beautifully with his deep voice and you haul your body into the backseat of the car as quickly as you can (you would've done anything the ravenette asked you without question, regardless).
"Careful babe, you wouldn't want to get anything on your brother's seats," he mumbles underneath you as his tongue teasingly circles around the entrance of your heat.
As you're riding his face, the teen's larger hands tightly grips onto the skin of your thighs when your phone begins to cut through the charged air of the vehicle with an obnoxious alert that lets you know that you're getting a call.
His cold fingers ground you from your haze-induced pleasure as he lightly drags his fingers along the expanse of skin exposed to him, the silver metal decorating his longer digits eliciting a cacophony of goosebumps along your trembling body.
Ring adorned hands grabs onto the screaming mobile device, Craig smirking as he answers the phone for you without pausing or relenting on his tongue's enthusiastic assault in between your soft thighs.
The boys call to tell you what snacks and drinks that they specifically want from the convenience store, your teeth gritting in frustration as they prolong it by fighting to have their voices heard over the others.
When he teasingly grazes his teeth against your highly sensitive bundle of nerves with a large hand shooting out to lightly grasp at the column of your neck, you can't help the small mewl that escapes from the confines of your mouth at the influx of sensations attacking you at once.
The boys ask if you're okay but you quickly excuse the sound by saying that a raccoon took you both by surprise, your breathy voice a result from running at the sight of the chasing mammal.
You snort when you hear Cartman call Craig a pussy bitch for that, the ravenette harshly sucking to reprimand you for laughing at his expense so you make it up to him by telling the large teen on the other end of the line to quit being defensive over his fursona.
With an already large group like yours, it's already a given that the call will be long with having all of the guys relaying their requests but you can't say anything as you grind against the ravenette's face in retaliation for lowly chuckling at your tortuous predicament.
Don't worry, he'll reward you for not making a suggestive sound throughout the duration of the phone call by fucking you in the sleeping bag that you both share that night (you couldn't help but stare at Clyde's drooling face in pity at his obliviousness to the situation but the sympathy doesn't last for long when a particularly deep thrust forces you to bite onto the material of your pillow to stop your high-pitched whine from coming out of your mouth).
Kenny develops a cute pout on his handsome face the following morning during breakfast when he sees a hickey on your neck that he knows he didn't leave on you when he fucked you himself an hour before the sleepover.
Tumblr media
♡*・。゚// FOUR (Kenny):
During the half-time of one of the boy's football matches, you're granted a quick break as your team doesn't have to perform—it's an away game so the home school's cheerleaders take on the job instead.
Like always, you head to the concession stand to buy some extra gatorades, water bottles, and snacks for the boys (just in case!) for the bus ride back to school when Kenny catches you by the crook of your arm (the blonde has a special talent of finding you anywhere, even within a sea of moving people).
You softly smile at him when he interlocks your hands together as you both talk about the game, your eyebrow quirking up when you notice the detour that the blonde is taking as the halls become more desolate until there's no other person occupying it besides for you two.
You're not surprised when he leads you to a bathroom stall to fuck you in, the football player notorious between your two boyfriends for always enjoying a good quickie (it doesn't matter what time or where, as long as you're involved then he's always hard and ready for some fun).
He's also always more vocal between the two about how much he loves your cheer uniform on you.
The way that the thin fabric hugs your body, further accentuating your curves and the way your short skirt sits perfectly on your ass and thighs is just chef's kiss to him—whenever you wear your cheer uniform, you know that you're getting laid as long as you leave your skirt on when you fuck (as per the blonde's only request when you dress like that).
He especially loves to see you with your hair tied up, your pretty little cheer bow perfectly sitting at the top of your head like a present just for him (how can he resist when you're wrapped up so pretty like that? presents are meant to be opened).
The blonde plants you on his lap as he sits on the cover of the closed toilet seat, his thumb running along the quickly hardening nub of your nipple as his tongue swirls around the twin mound on the other side of your chest.
You can just feel his growing smirk against your skin when the entrance of the restroom opens, the voices of the boy's rapidly filling in the once quiet space as the blonde mischievously chose the male bathroom closest to the locker rooms and field.
You can hear all of your friends and even your damn brother talking to one another, taking the short reprieve from the game to relieve themselves before they're back on the artificial tuft of the field to play.
His legs expertly lift up so that they're not shown before he plants them on the flimsy stall door that provides a barrier between you and the others, one of his larger hands trailing up your face to stick two of his longer fingers into your slightly parted lips.
You understand the nonverbal demand as you begin to suck onto his digits, the blonde physically silencing every gasp and moan that threatens to leak out of your mouth.
His unoccupied hand reaches under your skirt (convenient and beautiful on your body, what's not to like?) so that his fingers can lightly trail against your thighs until goosebumps arise from his cool fingers before they gather the slick steadily pouring out of your heat.
Your body's reaction to his ministrations allows him to seamlessly run along your weeping folds, rubbing circles onto the small bundle of nerves that are desperately screaming for his undivided attention.
His foot will accidentally slip from its purchase on the stall door before quickly resuming its previous position when you lick the shell of his ear and lightly suck at his earlobe, the both of you hearing Cartman's distinctive sneer at the sudden noise: "Ew, was that a fucking rat?!"
When the bathroom finally clears (tears are already leaking from the corner of your eyes, goddammit), the blonde doesn't waste not even a second before he turns your body around to slam the front of it against the stall door, his pants quickly meeting the dirty, tiled floor to mercilessly pound into you from behind.
Another reason he loves when your hair is tied up is because it makes it easier for his slicked lips to attach themselves onto your neck—makes it easier for him to gather all of your hair into one hand so that he can pull on it and dirtily whisper into your ear, every word granting a puff of air that lightly tickles your skin.
When he finishes, he'll release all of his load inside of your tight heat and make you stay filled up for the rest of the game—he'll eat it out of you later, every last drop of it as a reward.
Tumblr media
♡*・。゚// ONE (Kenny + Craig):
You and the boys are situated in varying positions around the backyard, the warm weather calling for an outdoor activity such as a barbecue to enjoy the rare rays of sunshine greeting South Park.
Excusing yourself to the bathroom, you begin to take suggestive pictures to send in your group chat with your two significant others in an attempt to rile them up in a setting where they're powerless to do something about it.
Craig warns you over text, relaying over the phone that he's currently using his plate of food to cover his damn lap at the sight of your body.
It doesn't take long before they relent to your teasing, the digital conversation quickly escalating to dirty talk and filthy promises of later.
You slightly jolt when you hear someone yell from the outside, your form immediately running to where everyone else is gathered on an assortment of plastic chairs or wooden picnic benches.
The first thing you notice is that every single one of the boys are staring at their phones with varying expressions of slightly parted lips, wide eyes, and red faces.
On either end of the spectrum is amusement in the form of loud laughter and smirks or disappointment slightly tinged with disgust (unfortunately, the rest of the boys will always see you as their little sister—even when you grow wrinkly and your hair turns grey at 100 years old. and no sane person wants to hear about their baby sibling’s private life, especially the intimate details).
You're confused until your brother’s screams: "I did not need a detailed description on how you two fucking bastards eat out my FUCKING SISTER!"
When Clyde sent a meme to the group chat containing all of the other guys and you just a few minutes ago, both Craig and Kenny made the amateur mistake of forgetting to switch back to the correct chat log.
The only thing the blonde is able to say before Kyle has to hold back a seething, red-faced Stan is: "Chill, dude. You act like you didn't hear us fucking in the bedroom next to yours last weekend."
"You fucking WHAT?!"
"... I thought you knew? Baby girl was being pretty fucking lou-"
Kenny, unfortunately, didn't get to finish his sentence.

Alright, I have a plant theory! I vaguely remember reading a theory that went something like: Plants were discovered, buried within the Earth's crust; humans then experimented on them Jurassic Park style to bring them back to life, and in the process they genetically modified them for their needs. (If you have a source for this theory this plz let me know!) Let's not forget the canon cloning either.
I couldn't help but notice after watching Akira, how eerily similar the technology integrated with Tetsuo and the plant patterns were.
Tumblr media
Could plants be part synthetic too? How were they brought back?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To be fair, it could be a stylistic choice of the time. Fullmetal Alchemist uses similar patterns to depict alchemy. From an artistic perspective, this is an easy way visually to communicate that something has been manipulated non-organically, like a circuit board or a grid, a short hand for something man-made.
Tumblr media
Not to say natural geometry doesn't occur in like in the structure of crystals or rocks, but it's hard to not see the technology (hard angels) vs organic (soft curves) design elements.
Stampede goes even further to integrate both the organic and technological.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Don't tell me that it doesn't look like a circuit board AND plant lines!!!

UV Plant Photography by Craig Burrows
I'm left wondering what they were like before humans changed them. Were they more like the independents, reverting back to the way they were? Or were the independents an adaptive response to extreme circumstances? What did they truly look like?
It hurts to think how plants were manipulated to generate matter and power and that their suffering was so great they changed, either knowingly or spontaneously, their own bodies to produce offspring to bridge the gap between them and humans as a cry for help.
Anyway, I'm not okay about plants. : )

You fumbled the bag, i didn’t - Josh Allen
Part Two
Summary: The bengals won the super bowl of the NFL josh won the super bowl of love
Notes: sorry that’s hilarious. i might start this as a big josh allen series, wedding, honey moon, dad allen, TEENAGE DAD ALLEN. what do y’all think about that?
this is also set in the future, not much but 2024
also he’s so zesty
Tumblr media
it’s been three years now since the bengals went to the super bowl. Y/n had completely forgotten about the bet she had made with josh almost ten years ago. the two have been together for nine years, they spent many years apart and all over the place, but neither had stopped loving the other for nine years.
now, y/n had gotten an offer from the buffalo bills to join their social media team. and she immediately took it. even though the two hadn’t been married, y/n was ready for commitment, even more than she already was.
Josh however hadn’t forgotten the bet at all, to him it wasn’t a bet. he was serious about marrying her, he wanted from the second he met her to see her in a beautiful white wedding dress. he wanted her to be his girl for the rest of forever.
he had been thinking about marrying her when they got out of college, but he was focusing on his career, then y/n started focusing on her career and there just wasn’t the right time.
now the cincinnati bengals are going to the 2024 super bowl against the 49ers. and josh knew it was as good a time as any to marry his girl.
the sunday before the game, no football was happening and josh was doing a pod cast. he sat down and took a breath. he hated that he had to be away from his girlfriend as he always does.
the podcast hosts, jayla and craig (totally made up people) greeted him on the show. jayla asked the first question. “so josh, i want to talk about y/n” josh smiled. any excuse to talk about y/n was a good one.
“how long hangs you been together?” jayla asked, getting a light chuckle from josh. “nine years in september.” he said, his smile brighter than any smile he’s ever given. “we met in college, and i’ve been stuck with her ever since”
“still no marriage? when do you plan on proposing?” craig joined in. “when the time is right” he said “or when the bengals when a super bowl” craig laughed “she’ll be waiting a long time then” jayla smacked craig’s arm.
josh blabbed and blabbed about y/n over and over for the entire two hours he was shooting for this pod cast. she was the most important person in his life, from her messy college dorm life, to her future NFL wife, life.
the day of the super bowl, y/n was taking pictures on the sidelines, because her contract wasn’t up until the end of the season. Josh was helping her, following her as she was taking pictures.
he admired the way she crouched down, taking pictures of the players practicing. “your very beautiful y/n” he said. her head was cocked to the side, and all of her hair was flipped to one side as she moved her camera to find angles. “joshy i’m trying to work” she laughed, walking over to joe burrow. “hey joe” she said, crouching down to take pictures of him. “hi y/n.” “heeeyyy josh” joe chuckled, smirking at him.
josh gave him a look telling him to stop, and he chuckled, going back to his stretches.
y/n walked towards the sidelines to take some pictures of the special teams, and josh stopped her. “Hey beautiful, i’m gonna go to the bathroom. stay safe okay?” she smiled.
there was not a day happier than today for y/n. she was back with her boyfriend, and her team was going to the super bowl. she was currently standing on the field at the super bowl that taylor swift was playing at and she couldn’t be more happy in this moment.
when the game started, y/n stood in the roses that guests had to stay in, no sign of josh at all.she talked to tee higgins mom basically the entire time.
eventually, josh came back and y/n had to take more pictures, so she did her laps around the field, getting more angles and brainstorming more memes to post later. at half time, y/n and josh regrouped, and sat down to watch the half time show together. thanks to y/n josh knew every song and did not disappoint.
there now where 4 minutes on the clock and there is no way that the 49ers are coming back from this score. the bengals have won the super bowl.
y/n screamed, and jumped around josh and immediately attempted to run to her friends on the field, but instead of celebrating, they hooped, hollard, and jumped around y/n as evan mcpherson gestured for her to turn around. and so the whole world wouldn’t peak in on this beautiful moment, the bengals boys, crowded around her and her eyes met josh
he was kneeling down, ring in hand, and a smile on his face.
“y/n. it’s been 9 years too long waiting for this stupid superbowl. i wish i could’ve married you every day up till now but i didn’t know if you’d say yes, and now you have too” y/n had her hands cupping her mouth in complete shock. Y/ns friends, the whole team, was jumping up and down anticipating her answer. tears fell down her face as she freaked out.
she took her hands off her mouth and jumped on top of him, tackling him into a hug. “i would’ve married you the day i met you joshy” she said, kissing all over his face.
josh placed the ring on her finger, and stood up, he picked her up into a hug and the whole bengals team irrupted in happy screams. “I love you joshy!” she said, over the howling of the bengals fans and the team. josh smiled, even wider than before. “I love you beautiful princess”

Submitted via Google Form:
So I found out that blue is apparently rare in nature but I want it to in fact be relatively abundant in my world. Honestly for no apparent reason than it's my favourite colour and I want it to work in it. What would I need to change from real life in order to do that? Preferably from blue pigments but reflected light would also be great.
Tex: Blue is rare in nature because in order to produce what we perceive as blue, the red wavelengths of light need to be absorbed and not refracted out, so physical structures are usually relied upon instead (The University of Adelaide, Live Science). A lot of the work for this to be naturally-occurring was also covered in a previous ask.
However, there can be a shortcut to this - shift the wavelength band a little to the left and use ultraviolet. Flowers communicate with insects in UV light as a form of coevolution (Wikipedia), and when colour-corrected to a wavelength we can see, it comes across as blue.
Some examples:
Tumblr media
Photo by Debora Lombardi (My Modern Net)
Tumblr media
Photo by Craig Burrows (CPBurrows.com)
Feral: As Tex points out, nothing is going to appear blue if the people of your world cannot perceive the wavelengths of blue light. Even without UV, this trick of light is a popular option. Bluejays (and all birds with blue plumage) actually have feathers that are pigmented brown where we perceive blue because of a specific way air gets trapped in them.
However, another way to manipulate the proliferation of blue in your world is through geology and mineralogy. Tweaking the abundance of certain elements and how they are incorporated into the biochemistry of your world will change certain colors found in nature.
You can make certain blue rocks and minerals more prevalent. Basalt, slate, limestone, and sandstone are all common rocks that can appear blue. The mineral glaucophane can be mixed with basalt to create the metamorphic rock blueschist. Thus, the earth itself can appear more blue, rather the generally brown color we tend to associate with dirt, rocks, and sand. 
But metals and minerals are also very important in biochemistry as cofactors, nutrient minerals, and trace elements. Most people will know that iron is an important metal for humans because it carries oxygen in our blood stream, and this is why our blood turns red when it’s oxygenated - that’s what iron does. But crustaceans have a greenish-blue blood because the oxygen-carrier is hemocyanin, containing copper. Cobalt, important to Vitamin B12, is a nutrient mineral that comes to mind when I think of blue.
So what about the flora of the world?
Flowers and fruits get their coloration from two types of molecules: carotene and anthocyanin. Carotene pretty exclusively produces reds, yellows, and oranges. Anthocyanin generally produces reds and purples, but in the rare occasions a blue flower is produced, it can be due to a chemical complex called metalloanthocyanin, which contains magnesium, aluminium, or iron (or a combination). 
For a more scientifically robust look at coloration in flowers, including options other than metalloanthocyanin, check out this article, “Natural Blues: Structure Meets Function in Anthocyanins,” in the National Library of Medicine’s Center for Biotechnology Information Journal.

Last year, the show had two press events where they teased upcoming stories for winter/Christmas/and the new year.
I've tried to remember them all and made a list with what they turned out to be; only one hasn't been revealed yet...
A 'surprise' baby / strained marriage: Rhona, Marlon, Ivy
A 'steamy' affair that somebody will rumble on Christmas Day: Tracy/Caleb
New arrival connected to the affair: Caleb's ex/wife Ruby, who will arrive this week I think
More new arrivals: Chloe's dad (wasn't new but that was a secret then), and Ella
A family tragedy after New Years that will ruin two families and their friendships: Heath's death, The Hopes and The Kings
One or two people getting in trouble and might end up being sent to prison: Angelica, (Cathy seems to be in the clear), Aaron will be arrested this week in the car theft story, don't think it will lead to anything, and it was the horse that killed Craig
Moira's big secret: Told Charity about Emma
A Christmas proposal and Valentine's wedding: Belle/Tom
A longterm illness story: Eric's Parkinsons diagnosis, (but also Chas)
A new story for Chas that will shock the villagers and may bond her with Aaron again: Breast cancer
A huge physical fight between Aaron and Cain: Will happen this week, but the reasons for it are a little vague/plotty... Hopefully the aftermath will be less so
A familiar face returning in january to help someone who is in a bit of trouble: As far as I can recall, this is the only one we're still waiting on, and january has come and almost gone...
Loads of people in the village could use some help at the moment, honestly! And a lot of them is facing some kind of trouble.
Is it a biggie or simply someone quietly returning from maternity leave? It's looking like it's not going to be spoiled in advance and just be a surprise when it airs.
Going by last year, Tracy's return wedding story was featured in all the magazine spoilers ahead of time, whereas Aaron's was kept a secret.
So far there has been talk of Vanessa, Robert, Kathy (Malandra Burrows), Adam, Scott, Kerry, Ross or Kelly (Adele Silva).
