Starseed Apples

“Here you go,” I said, putting down the last box. “Uncut fabric, plumbing supplies, and three cases with a fungus biohazard label. Do I even want to know what’s in those?” I cast a curious look at my fellow human as I handed over the signing pad. She was shorter and rounder than I was, dressed in a crisp uniform of a type I didn’t recognize. Big pockets everywhere.

She signed with a wry grin. “Those are dirt.”

“Dirt?” I repeated, looking around the admittedly spotless loading dock of this particular space station. “Dirt warrants a biohazard here?”

“Oh, you have no idea,” she said, handing the pad back. “Organic mulch that could contain anything from decomposed animals to fungus to poop? With uncountable amounts of bacterial life and potential germs? We’re lucky they only focused on the mold aspect!”

“Hm, good point,” I said.

Zhee, who was busy moving boxes off the hover sled, muttered something disparaging. I expected him to complain about how gross it all was, since he was always the first to point out when humans did something to offend his bug-alien sensibilities, but it sounded like he was griping about the strict station rules this time.

The human continued. “We have to keep a clean room between the greenhouse area and everything else. Even there, most things are in pots. We’ve got a great crop from Johnny Starseed right now!”

I’d heard that name before. “Oh, was he the one who sells little potted—”

“Apple trees, yeah,” she said. “Tiny and convenient, but they make an impressive number of apples as long as you feed ‘em quality dirt.” She bent down to pat a box.

Zhee finished freeing the sled. “Reasonable business plan,” he said, sounding almost complimentary.

“The guy named himself after Johnny Appleseed,” I told Zhee. “A human from centuries ago who got famous for traveling around and setting up apple orchards on Earth. Everybody likes a guy who brings food wherever he goes. And drink — I think some of those apples were supposed to be the cider variety.”

Zhee flicked his antennae. “Sounds like a very human thing to do,” he said drily.

“Have you tried the Starseed Reds?” the other human asked. “They’re very good.”

“No I haven’t, but I’d like to!” I said. “I’ve heard good things. I was kind of hoping to cross paths with him at some point. I wouldn’t mind a tiny apple tree in my quarters. Of course, the cat might get at it, and I’d probably have to find a grow lamp…”

She opened a boxy hip pocket, and pulled out the shiniest red apple I’d seen in a while. “Here you go.”

“Thank you!” I said, taking it eagerly. “That’s very generous!”

She waved it off. “Like I said, we’ve got a big crop. And I’ve got a different one that I’m saving for when I get off shift.” From another pocket, she produced a red apple with distinct orange stripes. “Which should be as soon as I get the supplies back to base.”

I laughed. “Is that the booze kind? I didn’t think those were real!”

“Oh yes,” she said with relish, putting it back in the pocket. “Starseed Cider Apples, no fermenting required!”

Zhee cocked his head, faceted eyes looking at both of us. “Poisonous apples?”

“Alcoholic apples,” I corrected, knowing full well that he considered that to be the same thing.

Zhee pushed the hover cart back toward the ship with a dramatic head tilt and antennae swirl. “Now that sounds like a human thing to do.”

“Well, you’re not wrong there,” I said with a smile. I thanked the other human and followed him, taking a bite of my non-alcoholic apple. It really was good.

i can’t stop thinking about that jacaranda tree in tallulah’s flower fields there’s so many implications there. the solid information we have is that phil logged in yesterday to “organize backpacks”, the tree and dugout appeared seemingly overnight, the waypoint is called ‘welcome back, nerd <3’. tubbo says that it’s likely someone who doesn’t know the mechanics of planting that kind of tree due to the waypoint placement in midair & the secondary dig that seemed to have occurred after the player realized the initial dig couldn’t host the tree.

our two most implicated players there are wilbur and tallulah; phil even points out that while the waypoint name is wilbur’s verbiage, the heart emoticon is not very wilbur and is more tallulah. he however pointedly makes it known that it’s built very wilbur-style, with spruce and stone walls. and logistically (to meta-talk it) it was not ccwilbur; he did not log in at an ungodly hour, dig a hole, plant a tree, and not tell anyone. plus (if we’re looking past the dialect disconnect) there’s no real reason for him to make a waystone seemingly welcoming himself back, and he isn’t narratively aware that the eggs are even missing, so it can’t be a wilbur-made-structure in preparation for tallulah’s return. so perhaps we say ‘well maybe ccwilbur asked ccphil to do it for him for some presently unknown reason and that’s why he logged in and organized backpacks!’ except why would phil lead tubbo there knowing it didn’t make much sense and was seemingly unfinished in terms of both build and story? (cc)phil could have so very easily diverted tubbo and him both from visiting but he made it a point to go out there to the field; phil saw the tree first, pointed it out first, investigated first, tubbo just followed his lead— did he know what he was walking into? was it planned; whose idea was that, the name of the waystone, the materials and contents chosen?

there’s no black concrete, which makes me hesitant to allude it to a dimensional-tallulah structure— there’s nothing that indicates she’s communicating like there has been with all the other eggs previous communications, not even a pink sign, though you could make the argument that the tree itself is her sign because it’s her favourite kind of tree, and it’s also her favourite color, but i think it’s kind of a stretch in the grand scheme of things. plus in a meta-sense, especially if we’re taking into account phil’s recent backpack organizing activities, there’s no reason to believe that 02 wouldn’t just dig and plant the tree herself, which still begs the question that even if it IS somehow tallulah’s doing, what was phil doing yesterday?

It’s insane how different fandoms are when you read so much fic.

Like.. the things people are comfortable with is wild to me. Buddie omegaverse is so… I guess tame is the only word I can find compared to Steddie omegaverse.

Anyway, did you know there’s only 183 fics under the omega Evan ‘Buck’ Buckley tag? 😀

#omegaverse #I forced myself to read a fic that had NO spacing #and yeah it was good but my god learn about paragraphs 😭

unfortunately i am thinking about haze dogs again. nothing concrete. just vague shapes. connor in the iron dog mask. the dogs themselves stalking the town. that party scene that eludes me. connor drunkenly falling into the fountain pool.

#been thinking about what i want my writing to feel like since how it tickles my brain has always been what i enjoy the most #there is nothing like the flow of a paragraph into another paragraph into dialogue into another paragraph #a lot of my editing process is about making sure everything flows smoothly and it's one of the puzzles i enjoy the most while writing #but yeah i've been thinking about the stories i love #especially fresh of actually communicating my feelings on the girl from the other side i'm looking at. simplicity #about things like the team ico games and how ueda “designs by subtraction” and the way that shapes the atmosphere of his games #nothing captures me more than the unexplained #actually doing good by my blog description. raised in a context of magical realism 🙏 #normalised oddities. big empty spaces that feel as if they have been hollowed out. the unexplained intentions of a creature #a lot of stress comes in when a story gets away from him and i spiral into complexities that muddy everything up #i cannot stress the pages upon pages of me problem solving things probably no one will wonder about #so i like the idea of design by subtraction. i wonder how i can put that into a book #pia.txt #( wip ) haze dogs

Ok ok ok I'm not Tryna start discourse but bluestars prophecy was my first ever warriors book and bluestar will always be my favourite so I'm gonna make some counterpoints to you about her being a Smajor character

bluestar has always been led by an intense loyalty and dedication to those she loves and cares for - this includes her mum, her sister, her clan, eventually Firepaw when he joins the clan, and she has a VERY strong moral compass when it comes to doing the right thing - when she sees thistleclaw teaching tigerpaw to hurt a then baby scourge she very much discourages it and is against it

Afaik scott is Not like that, he doesn't have an emotional or love-driven moral code, he does things because they're smart decisions in the long term or because he wants to. Granted I havent seen a ton of his stuff but I have seen his limited life and 3rd life perspectives and he is very much a singular team player there, there to look after himself and well if people align with him that's great he's got allies (jimmy and Martyn) but he won't go out of his way to care for them

Bluestars defiance of starclan in the first series is BECAUSE she gave herself to them and what the warrior code demanded so much - yes she broke clan rules by having kids with crookedstar but she did everything in her power to make sure they'd have a happy life and felt terrible that thrushpelt was willing to say they were his to save her reputation. She didn't do it out of a selfish want, she only ever wanted to help her clan and those she loved, and her becoming clan leader is emblematic of that want. When she rejects starclan so wholeheartedly in the first series it's because THINGS KEEP GOING WRONG WHEN SHES TRIED SO HARD TO STOP THEM FROM DOING THAT - starclan has never cared about the sacrifices she made to keep her loved ones and clan safe, she lost her mother, her sister, her kits, her mate, literally everything, and things STILL KEEP GETTING WORSE. it's not a demand that she deserves to have everything good, it's a cry for help that shouldn't something go right after she's tried so hard???

C!Scott isn't like that. He puts himself above others and inherently believes he will get the best if he just plays his cards right, and he is good at it, he's very competent at lasting a long time in life series and getting what he wants - the ruthlessness of gem driven by desperation kills him in secret life, Martyn's complete fucking about face kills him in limited life, and I'm pretty sure it's etho who gets him out in 3rd life by luck. He doesn't plan to look after the ones he cares about, because he cares about himself first and foremost. Yeah you can argue when he doesn't get what he wants he gets annoyed, but his is less of a 'why don't I get this don't I deserve it' and more of a 'oh fuck this didn't work. Ok new plan double down on getting what I want by appeasing to people cos they're easy to read and therefore account for'

I don't doubt Scott would make a bluestar adjacent character if he made a warrior cats oc BUT his character would honestly be closer to darktail or ashfur than bluestar and that's that on that.

(sorry you activated 13 year old me's unskippable cutscene sjdjsjsjja this isnt meant to be a serious argument I just love bluestar a lot and love talking about her)

OKAY 1. this is fucking awesome thank you 2. i am going to do something new and exciting (advocate for scott instead of beating him to death with sticks) because unfortunately this bluestar info has only made me believe she is a smajor character even more.

As a general note when I talk about smajor characters as a collective here I’m referring to characters more in the realm of esmp/traffic/rats/pirates/etc, less vampire scott or necromancer scott who are intended to be villainous.

Scott characters tend to operate under a “If I am not a Good Person I may as well die” rule, and consequently abide by a strict moral code to keep themselves feeling clean. For instance: traffic Scott will never go back on his word, he will avoid dishonesty, and he won’t take from others unless he is sure that he can repay them. He will never betray his seasonal primary ally (even when they betray him first), and will often give people things just because they asked him nicely. He stakes a lot of his own identity on this, because it is through being a “good person” that he justifies his superiority (and, by extension, his own existence); in his mind he deserves the best and *is* the best because he is such a good person. When things don’t go his way, he thinks he doesn’t deserve it because he has been nothing but good, so he tries to place a reason. He often assumes that somebody must “have a vendetta” against him, even if this somebody is the world (see: him asking if limlife episode 1 boogeyman is some kind of joke played on him for not giving in to the boogey curse in Last Life.) which is very Bluestar to me, convinced that her misfortunes are a divine punishment.

This is all to say that Scott does have a strict moral code and deep sense of loyalty. Being a “good person” and devoted partner in the ways he understands it are so ingrained into what he is that I think he definitely has the capacity to be a Bluestar if he were raised being taught clan values, even if his internal systems are often built around never letting gross emotions be fully felt rather than what those emotions compel him to do.

#ive always wanted to partake in pointless character debate on tumblr #considered maintagging this but didnt want people looking at your ask weird. sorry yall we serve fucked up scott here #“But bree” you might ask “what about pearl? He wasnt a very devoted partner then!” #and to that I say: pearl isnt a person to him. and neither is jimmy. Scott fucked up with both of them and unfortunately if he is not good- #and justified 100% of the time he loses his entire identity so convincing himself that they are incompetent or crazy so that he #doesnt have to self reflect is how he gets by. he would literally rather kill himself than earnestly admit fault for anything #… huh. about the above tags I dont remember the lore but is there any parallel there with the whole bright heart thing #genuine question bc I do not remember why blue star did that and I dont trust the wiki #(Trying to space out names so they dont tag) #I really hope this makes sense btw bc I feel like I usually list a lot more examples… but im tired #I can elaborate on any point here if need be ig. I dont talk about this aspect of him often because the literal entire fandom does already #Every scott analysis post out there is about his damn loyalty… anyways yeah scotts loyalty is transactional more often than emotional but #It’s still loyalty and also. hard to draw the line between where the emotions stop sometimes because he can stop giving a fuck about— #most things on a whim. How much scott genuinely cares about something is a forever undefinable concept #asks #he is genuinely a very good ally to have usually. like jimmy was very much the exception there #he does like helping people out he does. he’s just also emotionally detached so he tallies his favors and good deeds to bring up later if— #someone he’s helped decides to go against him.

Sad news from the cardinal baby front. This morning I saw the dad go to the nest with a big mouthful of food and look around kind of confused and then leave without feeding them. I also noticed there wasn’t much movement which is unusual too. Then I started hearing little faint chirps and I just managed to see there was a baby on the ground under the nest. I ran inside to wash my hands really quickly, came back out, and put him back in his nest. Thankfully about a half hour later dad came back and fed the poor little guy. The other two are apparently gone; I’m not sure about mom 😢

At the very least, little scruffy bud seems to be doing okay. Just watched dad feed him again — including an enormous half of a caterpillar that wasn’t even digested yet lol. No idea what happened, but since the nest is in a rose bush (not easily accessible for a mammal to climb up) and the nest was not pulled down, I’m thinking a bird of some sort (we have owls around here and hawks).

Here’s the badass little buddy (right after I put him back, I got a quick shot with my phone by reaching and blindly clicking) :

#thank goodness i noticed the little buddy #i’m hopeful since dad is really stepping up #but i’m so disappointed and sad that we lost the other little buds #also does anyone understand why text posts put so much space in between paragraphs now??

I’m fascinated about the oc stuff you mentioned! I only recently (within the last year) started creating oc’s so I’ve not really thought about creating images of them. I pretty much just save stock photos and photos of celebrities that resemble what I’m imagining, but that can be a pain. I’d love to hear more tips (as well as hearing about some of your oc’s if you’d like to share!)

A beloved mutual, hello!!

It's cool to hear that you're getting into oc stuff, making up little guys is so much fun! You'll have to tell me about yours sometime! I gotta admit though, saving stock and celebrity photos sounds like a hassle :/ I can't imagine what you'd do for a non-human oc…

If you're interested, I have a ton of picrew links I can share (and obviously I can give you ones with more specific aesthetics if you have something in mind, versus just dumping a truckload of random links on you).

I also really like using Heroforge (D&D Minifugre website) to make ocs (D&D related or not). They update pretty regularly so there's always better options (especially for non-human ocs) and colors for more specific customizations. It's especially cool because if you decide you really like it, you can buy your oc as a minifigure (but you can still use the site/save your oc even without buying anything)! I love free websites :3

Lately, I've been focusing on my batch of Minecraft ocs. I was supposed to join a big rp server, but that fell apart so now I'm just 'writing' it all myself. It's been really fun, and I like being able to build an intricate story and characters from a pre-set template that comes with making ocs within a pre-existing world/ruleset (It's just much easier on my busy brain for when I'm not working on my actual original writing or whatever XP). But because of this, I've also been making full Minecraft skins for those ocs. It's pretty much just pixel art, and I am nowhere near the levels of some of the proffesional skin-makers out there, but I've made some pretty cool stuff if I do say so myself!

TL;DR I am not good at art, but my imagination is very hyperactive, so having some of these online resources has helped a ton in just getting something out into the world. I am more than happy to share site links and answer any questions you have about navigating them if you wanna dm me! I'd also loove to talk about all my ocs more, but I know that can be a lot for a tumblr ask…especially if tumblr keeps eating them >:(

Thanks for messaging me, hope this helped some!

(Also, sorry for the weird formatting of this post tumblr is being dumb and I can't fix it for some reason...)

#why do the paragraph breaks look like that and why can't I change their spacing tumblr please the readability #i got an ask! #anyone is free to dm me for links btw #I figure it's easier to dm since I'm sure people will want more specific links #I could just make a master-post with all the links but that seems like too much #maybe if enough people ask idk #also been thinkin bout just making oc posts like I do in my writers/rp discord #I have little oc intros with some picrews for visual purposes #but I also don't wanna be annoying and flood people's dashes with stuff they don't care about #hopefully that all makes sense and isn't too many words... #I tried not to go into too many details bc I was excited lol #also trying not to add too much extra info in the tags like I normally do #especially about my frustration with the minecraft skins #I have so much fun making them and they look so good when they're done #But I am colorblind and never tried pixel art before just jumping into skin making soooo yeah lol #but I'm rambling now oops :3 #anyways! #no cute emojis like usual bc i'm on desktop sad #heroforge #picrew #oc stuff

My brain is in mush

I think why Cale hates medals, its because he gets recorded for it. He has been recording everything for so long.

.

He doesn't actively hate records, he hate the implications of what the record will bring. Because something in him, hates remembering. He remembers Soo Hyuk and Jung Soo being nice, helpful, so bright but when it stops recording, when he can't record anything of them he thinks they're cruel, because the last record he has of them is them sacrificing their life for him.

.

He thinks if he gets recorded in history and dies out of the blue or something bad happens to him, when people actually see him for what he thinks he is - they'll think he isn't the person he truly is - that he is not the real Cale Henituse.

.

Think about it, only few people know that he's another soul in this body. Someday, somehow people will know and connect the dots. He is afraid of getting recorded, because he knows what records bring.

#trash of the count's family #cale henituse #kim rok soo #lout of the count's family #tcf novel #why tf is tumblr not giving me the space shit on paragraphs #tcf headcanons #dont think too much of this #im legit sleep deprived #but yeah i think cale hates getting recorded and wants to live peacefully #people not getting in the know of the guilt hes been keeping #of him not really being cale is part of it #he had played cales part good enough for people to not realize #but till when will he be good enough ? #theres a deep looming guilt and doubt in him #also the fact that being recorded #means being well known #and having that high expectations for u #cale truly just wants to live peacefully #and expectations are damning things

Hey there

any advice for someone who's writing their first fan fic (me)

totally! lemme give you some quick tippies and if you have any specific problem you want my perspective on, let me know! i decided that five was a good round number, but i'm sure i have more to say if you need me to scare something up~

remember that you are doing this for fun. if it sucks, hit the bricks. leaving a wip half done and saving it for a you that actually loves the story can sometimes help a lot. there are times when you need to push through the difficulties of writing, but if it is genuinely causing you distress, maybe we should consider taking a lil break with another project.

<>

remember that you are doing this for free. you do not owe a certain quality or quantity or consistency of posting to anyone, and if someone makes you feel like you do, that's a them problem and not a you problem. publish whatever word count, or number of chapters, or fragments of plot that you want to upload. fanfiction is, for the most part, free. do whatever the fuck you want forever.

<>

if there is a scene that you are writing an entire fic for, try writing the scene first. oftentimes i find i build things up and up and up in my head and so i have to write these 10k words of build up, i have to have more scene exposition, when sincerely, you might find if you get right into it that the scene is capable of standing alone, and even if such is not the case, now you have a scene written here that illustrates the point of the piece, if that makes sense.

<>

if something you desperately want to write feels out of character, try changing the language around the action. like say- maybe it seems like this character wouldn't lie to their spouse about something important- what's their reasoning for it? how would they rationalize that action to themself? if you have actions you want to be completed, assume that the character is already doing what you want. you just have to let the reader know why.

<>

the voice is never quite going to sound right. the perspective is always going to feel a little off. that's not a bug of your writing, that is a feature. that is the little bit of you that you are putting in your story, turns of phrase that people only use in your area, potential perspective that the pov might not have but you do, incorporating that is part of the art of fanfiction. we are all creating something new from a previously completed tapestry. all of the pieces are going to be different. this is a feature. this is your contribution to the culture of fandom. don't make it any less than yourself

#one of the best pieces of advice that i've ever received about writing is kind of the basis of that last point- perfection is a fallacy #we sell ourselves so that we are always striving. maybe you're not skilled enough to write that piece. maybe you're not a good enough #artist to draw that thing in your head. Make It Anyway. creation is the divine act of failing upward so excelsior baby let's get this bread #thanks for asking it's nice to think of shit i say helping y'all #ask answered #anonymous #hope this helped tho??? lemme know if this is so totally off the mark #added spaces so that the paragraphs would be more readable

just curious about what the timeline of rough night is. from start to finish about how much time passes?

Hi Anon! Thank you so much for the ask ❤️

I kinda kept the ongoing joke of “ambiguous timeline” set in canon going through Rough Night. At least that was the intent. But there are definitely some markers of the passage of time. They may be a little inconsistent though because I really tried to leave that part flexible to not box myself in.

The start of Rough Night happens somewhere around fall-ish. Maybe end of summer, maybe start of fall. Somewhere in that settling in time once school is back in session and the holiday season hasn’t quite hit yet. I chose this because season 4 seems to be set over the summer, what with Beth’s one short-sleeved dress scene and Kenny being away for weeks at camp.

Brio start their actual relationship somewhere during the holiday season-ish. They wear coats in the early parts of their “dating” period, so it’s getting colder. I also mentioned in Crystalline how Beth’s first Christmas post-divorce was split with Dean and she got drunk and sent nudes to Rio 😂 while her kids were having Christmas dinner with their dad. So I guess they were already comfortable enough for that kind of thing.

Lake vacation, Brio really settling in domestically together, starting to mingle families, etc happens over the late spring / summer. It’s warm enough to swim, the kids have time for sleepovers… Then as the summer ends Beth is really forced to look at her relationship and make some choices. The conclusion of Beth’s story arc happens back in that fall-ish season. And the final, Rio POV, chapter is set in one of the final warm days before temperatures really drop and winter sets in.

So I guess about a year for all of it. A little more than a year if you also consider the events of Crystalline. Does that seem believable? Like I said, there may be some inconsistencies throughout the works, with clothing and weather and all that. But generally this is the timeline I always imagined.

#Rough Night #Crystalline #timeline #time doesn't exist #this universe has its own time #where it’s never summer and it never snows #good girls nbc #brio #asks #nbc good girls #is it just me or is the text formatting of this post inconsistent? #the last two paragraphs are spaced differently #what is up with this app? #i still can’t figure it out
