lichen informational post

because a lot of my mutuals seems to be unclear about lichen and there are so few accessible sources out there on these amazing beings :D

What is lichen?

Put simply, lichen (pronounced LIE-ken or LITCH-en) is a bunch of different fungi and algae working together to make an organism that looks something like a mix between a plant and a fungus. It can have the appearance of moss sometimes, and often you will find species named “[adjective] moss”.

There are many types of lichen, which can broadly be categorized as fruticose (like the wolf lichen pictured above the cut), foliose (slightly less 3D and usually having a leafy appearence), crustose (clearly one solid form, but appearing plastered to the surface it’s found on), and leprose (a more powdery substance). There are a few more broad categories, including jello-like and stringy, but these are the most well-known.

Where can I find lichen?

Basically anywhere above sea level! Lichen can grow on almost any surface, and are mostly common on rocks and trees. They can also grow on toxic surfaces, though! Lichen do not have roots, but they do photosynthesize. They do not have any adverse affect on whatever they may find their home on. Lichen can also hang from surfaces.

Apart from what’s already been said, why is lichen so cool?

- We know of about 20,000 species of lichen so far!

- Lichen may be the longest-living organisms on earth, and are also some of the earliest organisms to grow after a natural disaster.

- Some species of lichen reproduce sexually, and some don’t, but they can all evolve.

- Lichen can be very susceptible to air pollution, especially when there are not many trees around to provide clean air. However, lichen can survive in space, if so moved.

- Lichen was not officially classified until 1867.

- Most lichen is made up of photosynthesizing organisms (cyanobacteria or algae) surrounded by the fungal organisms, but this is often flipped in gelatinous or stringy lichen!

Here is the link to the Wikipedia page, which is where I compiled this information from, if you would like to read more. I am also really really excited about this and can answer questions!!

(tagging @cnnamonrolls​ because you said you’d never heard of lichen about a week back and I’m very excited to share this)

hello!! I come for the weapons ask game :>

daggar, dirk, and flail!

!!! :D

dagger: does the story have any motifs?

not so far!

dirk: are there any famous stories in the story?

unsure what this means skgskdj. there is, of course, some sort of in-universe legend concerning the encroaching apocalypse and that goddess trying to kill everyone, but there's nothing from our world really?

flail: is there an aspect of your wip that you’re struggling with?

i'm having trouble with an overarching plot that isn't just "magic kids kill monsters woohoo". i don't want it to be too much like jjk, where everything is very episodic and "oh look we have a new monster to kill better go do that!! :D OH NO ITS THE VILLAINS THEY SHOWED UP-". i want there to be something actually driving the plot, but i can't figure out anything yet lol

[commanderfloppy]

I caught wind of a trend to show your commander as other races, and since i've already dabbled in human (and a little sylvari) flop I thought it would be fun to do.

Below is some more details about how I came up with each one / the character differences they'd come with.

Charr - Based her main colors/patterns after a Jaguar. I kinda see this version of her originally being from the flame legion or something and then fleeing only to struggle in the citadel.

Norn - A follower of wolf, this version is less afraid to show her scars because A. I think norn get hot more easily being acclimated to cold climates, and B. a norn version of her would probably see scars less as "look at all the mistakes I made that got me hurt" and more "check out how many near-death experiences I've survived"

Human - Closest to asura floppy since they both grew up in human culture, not much to day here..

Sylvari - Honestly no idea how her story would go since sylvari flop would be so different, mostly in the fact that the oldest sylvari are like 34 and flop is 50. Her look is based on a mix of plants, her base is a bald cypress plant, with lichen mimicking her vitiligo, and then I put trumpet flowers in her hair for color and cute.

30 Day Song(fic) Challenge: Day 4

The prompt today for my Song(fic) Challenge was "song you listened to most recently". I must admit I did a little fudging on this--I simply couldn't come up with something for the song I'd most recently listened to ("Standing Next to You" by Jungkook, for those curious), so I opened up a playlist made for me by a beloved irl friend and fellow zelink writer, Gourdkin. What played was the instrumental piece "Elk (Acoustic)" by TTNG, and the trumpets set to peaceful guitar took me immediately to the mental image of...a goron in a forest. Of course, there's only one iconic goron consistently found in a forest in the LoZ series to my knowledge: Gorko!

Written in Stone

Game: Skyward Sword, very early on in the game

Pairing: None

Word Count: 847

Keywords: character study, peaceful

“Goddess, if you want to send down one of your sky people to teach me, I would appreciate it!” he calls up to the heavens. The angle strains his neck, and he tips his chin back down with a rumbled laugh. He’ll never meet such a person, of course, but it sure is nice to dream. 

Read the fic on Ao3, or under the cut!

You might think the woods are no place for a goron, and you might be right. But Gorko had never been great at listening to public opinion. His ears had always been tuned to the voices of those long past, after all. Even though, as he’d once heard from his Papa Stone before setting off, that archaeology and myth were no fields for a goron—lava fields were. He’d just let the words roll right off the plating of his back, and left them there on the igneous ground between them.

Gorko has been outside the Sealed Grounds for the greater part of two weeks now. His most recent pilgrimage—back from Lanayru, the mines of which being the other location he can’t stay away from—is set with supplies of felsite and basalt from home for three more moons, and then he’ll need to move on. But for now, he finds himself back at the temple. 

During the mornings, like any archaeologist worth his rock salt, Gorko gets to work at studying the temple. Over the years, he’s very carefully tested the stone from which it’s built (he has a very refined, built-in palette for such a thing, after all) and gone on field trips to the overgrown open-air mine two leagues away that the stone was quarried from. He’s detailed blueprints of the structure’s exterior and endless sketches of the carvings etched into it. A few times, the old woman who lives alone there has allowed him inside the temple, and he very respectfully recorded every observation he could. He’s hopeful that she’ll grant him entry this time, too.

In the afternoons, Gorko indulges in racing down the huge pit in the temple grounds, gleefully gathering speed along the downward spiral. He’s gotten his overall time down to a mere two minutes, without cutting any corners by dropping a level. It’s quite impressive, if he says so himself.

At night, he camps out below the stars, chowing down into a rock roast or tossing back handfuls of gravel, and he imagines the joy of someday having an apprentice he can share all his research with. 

This morning, Gorko has switched tracks a little, so to speak. Rather than the temple or its grounds, he’s investigating the bird statue outside its eastern border. He’s always found it intriguing—a landmark for people coming up or down from the sky? How would people up in the clouds notice such a little marker? They’d have better luck aiming for the big honking temple just a few dozen paces to the west, surely! It’s a shame the whole thing has long been papered over with lichens and mosses, and the runes on its surface weathered by the Faron region’s annual rainy seasons, or else maybe it would have more information for him. All Gorko’s been able to find about the bird statues, to date, comes from dusty scrolls and tomes.

After pacing circles around the statue, recording every detail in his sketchbook—it’s the same as any other sprinkled across the land, down to the purple shade of the old paint, but he’s nothing if not thorough—Gorko pauses in the center of the clearing to study it from a greater distance.

He’s always been fond of the birds featured on each of the statues. All the same variety, no matter the region a particular statue might be found in. He’s never seen a bird quite like them, even among the waterbirds near Lake Floria and the waterways between regions, and he wonders what importance they must have held to those long-ago civilizations. On his most homesick of days, when he misses the sulfur scent of the mountain and the taste of his Papa Stone’s obsidi-bites, it’s a comfort to see the big-billed bird in the desert vistas of Lanayru or the tucked-away temple hidden in the depths of Faron.

Great goddess, he wishes he were able to swim, and not just sink like a rock! Someday he’ll make it across the water and through that tantalizing koi-mouth entryway, instead of just sketching its contours from the shade of a nearby tree. Maybe he should ask the kikwis and the Water Dragon for permission to cut down some trees to build a bridge, one of these days. But he digresses. 

Gorko shifts his weight to one leg and rubs his chin thoughtfully, as the sun creeps higher overhead. Once again, a morning spent coming up with more new questions than answers. But then, that’s the whole reason he’s here. And there, and everywhere, and not just sitting at home in the same dusty mine all day. To learn, and learn, and learn.

But sometimes, it would be nice to get some answers…

“Goddess, if you want to send down one of your sky people to teach me, I would appreciate it!” he calls up to the heavens. The angle strains his neck, and he tips his chin back down with a rumbled laugh. He’ll never meet such a person, of course, but it sure is nice to dream. 

In the distance, a bone horn blows.
