"The jungle is more than my home."
Windthrow belongs to @son1c
Lark belongs to me!
Windthrow didn't quite turn out how I wanted. He's a bit off, but I guess that's what I get for not drawing Werehog Sonic at all before this, lol.
Anyway, introducing Lark the Hedgehog! Lark is a really interesting case. He was born in the far reaches of the Bosscage Maze, thousands of miles from Prim's group of scavengers. At a young age, Lark discovered his ability to communicate with plants and wildlife. When he listened hard enough, he discovered that each living thing contains a small section of one of the ancient songs. Lark started collecting these pieces until he he had compiled four songs. (He has thousands of incomplete little bits though.) When playing these songs on his pan flute, Lark is able to communicate with the deepest essence of nature, leaving him in somewhat of a trance-like state for a bit afterwards.
Lark wandered the Bosscage for years, helping out any distressed flora or fauna he found. He occasionally ran into other tribes of mobians or the rare humans, but he was never allowed to stay with them. They all saw his powers as cursed and unnatural. He was cast out every time.
Eventually, Lark felt the presence of the Great Green. He was drawn to it, as it had an essence unlike any he had ever known. Lark found and talked with the mega palm tree until Thorn caught him, returning from chasing off the Scavengers again. After a rocky start, Lark and Thorn became good friends. Lark told Thorn a lot about his powers. Over the following months, they became close and even started to develop feelings for each other. However, this happiness would not last forever.
When Lark discovered that Thorn was keeping the Scavengers out of the jungle, they had a fight. Lark was insistent that Thorn couldn't starve them, but she wouldn't listen. Lark ultimately decided to go help them. Thorn angrily told him not to come back. Lark tried to help the Scavengers with his powers, but like everyone else, they cast him out. Lark disappeared back into the forest to keep wandering.
Now that everything is okay between Thorn and the Scavengers, Thorn regrets banishing Lark. Will she ever see him again?
If Lark and Windthrow ever met, I think they'd have fun together. Lark could probably help Windthrow on his supply runs by making sure nothing attacks them. Mostly though, I think they'd just wrestle, lol. I think Windthrow could unlock a much more playful part of Lark that he hasn't brought out in years.

After a short break at the top of the mountain, I dared to detour without choosing the shortest route and slowly headed to the foot of the mountain to enjoy the mountain path.
The narrow road continued, and on the way I came across rocks and windthrows.

I Thank You: A Brief Account of Sonic’s No Good Terrible Very Bad Day (and Shadow’s even worse day)
@son1c’s sonic prime au has been jingling around my brain like a loose marble (especially the splinters of shadow), and this ask from @boom-fanfic-a-latta inspired me to actually sit down and write it :D
~~~
The first thing Shadow noticed was the noise.
It was hard not to notice it, honestly. The eerie silence of the Void was disconcerting, but this was something Shadow had never encountered before. This was an oppressive wall of sheer sound that filled the air and slammed into his ears the minute he entered the Boscage.
It knocked the wind out of him, and he sunk to his knees as he tried to regain his composure.
Dimly, he heard Sonic buzzing around him, jabbering about something. Shadow could only grit his teeth in response.
It’s so loud….How does Sonic not hear this?
He clapped a hand over his mouth in a desperate attempt to ground himself, to experience anything other than the oppressive sound. It didn’t work.
“Shadow? You alright?”
Shadow let out a shaky breath, and it took great effort for him to stop his ears from twitching. The last thing he needed was Sonic worrying about him.
“I’m fine. It’s just adjusting to a new Shatterverse.” Shadow forced himself to his feet. “Tell me about this world?”
Sonic didn’t look convinced, but didn’t press the issue. “The Bocage is entirely take over by huge plants. The forest floor is entirely inhospitable to life, and that means that—“
Plants. It couldn’t be.
Could it?
He felt a tear escape and leak down the side of his face. He was vaguely aware that Sonic, who had been staring at him with concern, had tracked that tear’s path with his eyes. But Shadow had bigger things to worry about. He, and probably he alone, could hear the Boscage.
And it was screaming.
~~~
It had been a few days. Some of the worst days of Shadow’s existence. Boscage Maze was a blur. The residents of the Boscage were a blur. The only thing that was clear was, paradoxically, the murmur of the forest. As it turns out, when billions of plants whisper in someone’s mind, it results in a cacophony, and the worst headache Shadow has ever had.
He was beginning to have trouble remembering why he was there, his goal in coming here, and even who he was. He just shuffled behind Sonic as they navigated the jungle.
Today, they were visiting….somewhere. Egg…something? Shadow couldn’t remember, but Tails was leading the way. Or, this Shatterverse’s Tails. His head hurt too much to care.
He was also didn’t care when he met Windthrow. A tiny voice at the back of his mind reminded him that, but for the Deafening Sounds, he would have been astounded.
A larger, stronger, and more feral Sonic. Would wonders ever cease.
Shadow was roused from his thoughts as they arrived at their destination. It was an unassuming structure, with vine tendrils snaking around, but generally well kept. As they walked through the entryway, he absently noted that the design reminded him of the Ark.
They stepped into the entryway, and the doors swung shut, leaving their little group in the quiet hallway.
And it was quiet. It was utterly silent.
He felt his shoulders sag in relief. He didn’t realize how awful the noise was. It didn’t even bother him that there was a slight buzzing from the overhead lights.
“Shadow, everything alright?” Sonic’s voice boomed in his ears. It hurt, and made his ears twitch, but he welcomed it.
Shadow nodded slowly. He still felt a little dazed, but it was a relief to be able to think clearly for the first time in what felt like forever.
~~~
Sonic was worried.
Well, he was worried about a lot of things. This was an extremely bad situation, and he was well aware that that was an understatement. But in particular, Sonic was worried about Shadow. He was acting more reclusive and irritable than usual. Which was saying something.
Whenever they were at the Egg Base, Shadow disappeared, even though Sonic looked everywhere in the building. And when they were outside, he acted distracted and upset. Every time Sonic asked him what was wrong, he would respond (in true Shadow fashion) with a snappish “Nothing”. But his constant ear twitching and eyes darting back and forth belied his distress. So did his muttering under his breath.
Sonic had decided not to continue pestering him. He instead focused all his attention and worry on finding the Shard.
The sooner we find it, the sooner I get Shadow out of here. The sooner I fix my stupid mistake.
Currently, they were in the Egg Base, and surprisingly, Shadow was hanging out with the group. Sonic was grateful to see that he looked relaxed, even if it was only a little bit. The weird dude who looked kind of like Eggman was showing off his latest creation, which was a metal version of Windthrow.
But as Metal Windthrow was powered on, Sonic was distracted by a faint gasp behind him. He turned and saw Shadow standing there completely rigid, chest heaving and eyes darting wildly. His ears wouldn’t stop twitching. He locked eyes with Sonic, before he fled the room.
Sonic got up to follow up, but stopped when he felt a large paw on his shoulder. Windthrow excitedly pointed at his metal counterpart, and threw back his head and howled. Metal Windthrow followed suit, and his rusty howl joined Windthrow’s. Sonic couldn’t help but smile fondly at what was soon to be a fast friendship. His smile fell as he turned and strode out of the room, determined to find Shadow.
~~~
He didn’t see Shadow for days after that, until one day Sonic entered the dining room. Shadow was standing at one of the tables, poring over the map that they had crudely drawn.
“Shadow! There you are! Are you alright? You disappeared! I’ve been looking everywhere for this Shard but haven’t found anything yet. Hey, what do you think—”Sonic’s nervous rambling was cut off by Shadow’s voice, which was uncharacteristically quiet.
“Sonic. Everything is okay. I just needed some to adjust to the Boscage Maze.” At this, Sonic frowned and opened his mouth, and closed it again. He sat down at the table, watching Shadow’s green eyes rake over the map. He looked—well, calm. But at the same time, he didn’t look well adjusted at all. He still had a dazed look, and there were heavy bags under his eyes.
“Are you sure? You can rest today, and we can go look tomorrow!” Shadow gave a small, fond smile, and Sonic felt his concern tie itself into knots in his stomach.
“We are fine, and in fact quite like being outside among the trees. It’s like coming home.” He turned and strode towards the door. “Let us go now and find Thorn Rose. Finding the Shard is our top priority.” Sonic pushed his worries aside. Shadow was right. The Shard was the most important thing.
Over the next couple of days, Shadow took charge of searching the Shard. He would stay out long after Sonic returned to the Egg Base for the night, and would even be gone before he woke up in the morning. He knew that Shadow was the Ultimate Loner, but he couldn’t shake the nagging feeling in the back of his mind. There was something that he couldn’t quite put his finger on, something he was missing. And it had everything to do with the strange way Shadow was acting.
~~~
Sonic burst into the clearing, almost crashing into Shadow in his excitement.
“Shadow, there you are! I have a good lead on the Shard! We can grab it and fit the prism back together! We’re one step closer to going home!” Shadow looked up sharply with a glint in his eyes that made Sonic uneasy. As quick as it had appeared, Shadow’s face had smoothed back into that same calm expression he had had for the past couple of days.
“That’s good to hear, Sonic. But we don’t need to rush things. The Boscage is truly wonderful. I’m glad to have been able to experience it. In fact, we are sorry for our past anger. You see, it wouldn’t have existed if you hadn’t shattered the Paradox Prism. So, how could I be angry? I thank you, Sonic the Hedgehog.”
I thank you.
Sonic’s blood ran cold.
Shadow…
He took a step towards who…or whatever was controlling Shadow. “Who are you! What have you done with Shadow!”
‘Shadow’ just smiled. “We are Shadow. It would be rude to ignore this gift you have sent us. You have granted us a way to communicate with you, and a way to protect the Boscage.”
Sonic’s shoulders slumped, his chin hitting his chest.
Shadow…what have I done to you?

Into, Across and Beyond! Scripting: Expanded Shatterverse
In One More Hero, after OMT!Tails had recovered from the crash-landing in Boscage Maze (Dimension PR-GRO-2023), he and Nine were walking through the expanded jungle.
Nine: You know, Boscage Maze wasn't always like it is today.
OMT!Tails: It got expanded?
Nine: A lot of the Shatterspaces have, Tails. Funnily enough, me and Thorn are really the only two that actually remember what transpired in the past, and yet no-one else does.
OMT!Tails: Oh? How so?
Tumblr media
(Logmill Marshland sprites by DanielMania123)
Nine: Well, after Sonic and Shadow were forced to leave to protect our realm, it made the Shatterverse expand beyond what I knew before. It even caused Shatterverse counterparts of them both to come into existence, alongside three sets of people I never knew prior. Over in New Yolk, for instance, Sonic's counterpart is Enforcer Sonic, who was said to have traded his freedom for the safety of the critters in the city before we kicked the Chaos Council out, Shadow's is Prism, but made by me from abandoned blueprints the Council left, and there are three more named Crème Brûlée, Nitroxide and Lodestar Nova.
Nine passed Tails a sheet listing all the major ones between dimensions. (Sonic and Shadow ones (alongside the Temperature Split bunch) are owned by @son1c)
New Yolk City: - Myself (Tails) - Renegade Knuckles - Rebel Rouge - Rusty Rose - Denizen 1998 (Big) - Enforcer Sonic - Prism (Shadow) - Crème Brûlée (Cream) - Nitroxide (???) - Lodestar Nova (???) - The Chaos Council (Eggman) Boscage Maze: - Thorn Rose Scavengers - Prim (Rouge) - Gnarly (Knuckles) - Hangry (Big) - Mangey (Tails) - Halcyon (Shadow) Newer Residents - Windthrow (Sonic) - Shroomik (Eggman) - Hoodie and Topian (Cream and Cheese) - Wildcard Nitro (Is that second word the name of the yellow hedgehog? Odd...) - Hostas (???) No Place: - Knuckles the Dread Dread's Crew - Sails (Tails) - Black Rose - Batten (Rouge) - Catfish (Big) Neutrals and Other Crews - Gale (Sonic) - Bermuda (Shadow) - Sailor Cream and Seadog (Cream and Cheese) - Skipper Nitro - Rogue Nova - Captain Robotskis (Eggman) Temperature Split: Freeze Team (Deepfreeze Domain) - Alabaster (Rouge and a Pink Wisp) - Hatchet (Tails and two Yellow Wisps) - Rocketeer (Nitro and an Orange Wisp) Burn Team (Heatwave Hearth) - Roundgear (Eggman and a Cyan Wisp) - Blister (Knuckles and a Black Wisp) - Ardent Rose (Amy and a Blue Wisp) - Aquatic (Big and a Green Wisp) - Constellation (Nova and an Indigo Wisp) Neutrals - Syzygy (Sonic) - Callisto (Shadow) - Star and Power (Cream and Cheese, a Heart Wisp)
(What the four Nitro Shatterverse counterparts look like, in the order mentioned in that list:)
Tumblr media
OMT!Tails: A whole book about them? Hmm... Let's see...
OMT!Tails had a flick through, finding it pretty interesting.
Nine: Some of their stories are quite interesting and shaped who they are today. Lodestar saved Nitroxide from being turned entirely robot, Shroomik is one of the few humans here in Boscage and has been helping out on terra-firma, Gale's been one of THE strongest versions of Sonic I've seen, and Callisto's essentially a Shadow-Wisp fusion that's a friend to all Wisps.
One of the points in the book caught OMT!Tails's attention.
OMT!Tails: Wait, Star lost her mother?
Nine: Yeah, I'm afraid so... Thankfully, Syzygy took her in with some other younger companions away from Temperature Split's main planet, in hopes of trying to end the Wisp Races for good.
OMT!Tails: Honestly? I can relate to Star's pain.
Nine: You... You can?
OMT!Tails nodded.
OMT!Tails: Before we met back at New Yolk, a monster known as OMT attacked my world, and... left some nasty scars on me... Vanilla, my Cream's mom, never came back from that, so I had since adopted Cream as my little sister. It's been a year since then, and I still haven't been able to move on...
Nine: Hey, Tails. You're a strong guy, I know you are. I mean, come on! You made it out of that crash-landing practically in one piece AND fought off "Agen" or whatever his name was, so that deserves credit!
OMT!Tails: Heh, thanks, Nine.
Nine: But, you know... For both of us, I guess it just isn't the same without the Sonics we knew...
Tumblr media
OMT!Tails: Hey, Nine? I know I'm not the best with advice, but I know neither of our Sonics would want us dwelling on the past and what happened before. He always told me that if I want to do something, that I do it right away and when I can.
Nine: Heh, I get what you mean, buddy. Even then, it's a shame the grown-up Sonic couldn't be here to hear this.
OMT!Tails: And he wasn't even the best mentor, either... When do I know if I'm ready?
Nine: You're not meant to by normal means, Tails. The way you know you're ready is if you're willing to take that first step.
OMT!Tails: "Take that first step"... Honestly, I never heard that advice before, but it can work! Thanks, Nine.
Nine: You're welcome.
Nine noticed a small canister Tails had.
Nine: What's that you got there?
OMT!Tails: Oh, this? They're the remaining particles from OMT.
Nine: Once we get back, I'm gonna put some study into them. I might have something to invent that can give you a helping hand back home.
OMT!Tails: Awesome! Well, here you go.
He passed the canister to Nine.
Nine: Well, we should go get you some practice around here.
OMT!Tails: Ah, yeah! Thorn said she'd be setting up some targets around the jungle for me to work with, right?
Nine: Mhm.
OMT!Tails: Then let's do it to it!
He raced off, ready for his target practice, as Nine followed.

How to Tell if a Tree Is Dying
Tumblr media
Need help figuring out if your tree is dying and what to do about it? Recognizing the signs of a dying tree will help you get professional help to save or remove it before it falls, causing catastrophic damage or harm.
toddsmariettatreeservices.com gathered the following information and signs of a troubled or dying tree and what you can do to help or remove it.
What Causes a Tree to Die
While trees may appear impervious to severe weather and their surroundings, there are several factors that can cause a tree’s decline and death. These factors include death from the following:
Its environment
Drought
Harmful insects and diseases
A catastrophic event or impact
A lightning strike
Severe weather events (causing blowdown, windthrow, or windsnap)
Age-related collapse (starvation)
Timber harvesting
Tumblr media
Note: Sudden tree death can occur from Armillaria root rot, fatal fungal diseases, or drought.
Signs of a Dying Tree
Property owners often see a concerning tree and wonder is my tree dying? Some fail to follow through when they disregard the warning signs. You can prevent catastrophic damages by learning the signs of a dying tree and how to respond to them. These are the most obvious warning signs that a tree is dying:
1. Leaning Tree – Leaning trees may signal damaged or dying roots, structural imbalance, or failure of soil structure. When a tree is leaning more than 15 degrees, this is typically a result of wind (storm) or root damage and is unlikely to recover.
Recommendation: Hire a professional tree service to evaluate the tree’s condition. Leaning trees can sometimes be preserved by cabling or bracing them. However, most leaning trees must be removed.
2. Root Damage – Construction, digging, trenching, and landscaping projects often disrupt or compact the soil around a tree, causing distress or root death. Severe damage can also occur from lawnmowers or weed eaters if you get too close to the trunk or roots.
Recommendation: Consider the following preventive measures:
Protect the soil (and roots) within the tree’s drip line by applying a 2 to 3-inch layer of organic mulch.
Prevent foot, vehicle, and equipment traffic beneath the tree.
Keep digging and trenching activities from disturbing or severing roots.
Never allow equipment or material storage under a tree.
Note: If roots have been damaged or severed, have the tree inspected to determine restorative measures or removal.
3. Bark is peeling or falling off – Diseases like hypoxylon canker and boring insects can cause sufficient damage in a tree’s cambium layer to cause its bark to fall off. These pests are opportunistic, typically attacking already distressed trees.
Recommendation: Have a professional tree service inspect the tree to determine what is happening to the tree, how to prevent nearby trees from being infected, and if the tree should be removed.
4. Mushrooms Growing on Trunk or Roots – When mushrooms grow from a tree trunk or roots there is typically extensive decay occurring in its heartwood. Mushrooms are the fruiting structure of most fungi and should be addressed soon as they are seen around a tree trunk or roots.
Tumblr media
Recommendation: When caught early, you can save the tree by pruning infected limbs. You can also apply fungicides if the disease hasn’t spread. However, prevention is the best solution. Proper watering, sunlight, mulching, fertilizing, and fungicide applications can help prevent fungal infections.
Note: When mushrooms appear on a tree, it is often too late to save the tree. Seek immediate professional help.
5. Brittle and Fallen Branches – Frequently seeing sticks or twigs on the ground and brittle or weak tree branches may be a sign of diseased or dead branches, which could signal the majority of the tree is already dead. This symptom may be caused by drought stress, over-fertilization, pest infestations, or disease.
Recommendation: Have your tree evaluated ASAP. With professional help, you might save your tree.
6. Oddly-Shaped or Chlorotic Foliage – Oddly-shaped or discolored tree leaves typically represents a soil or root problem. It may signal severe root rot or be an insect infestation.
Recommendation: Ensure your soil isn’t mismatched with your tree (nutrients, pH, etc.) by testing the soil (contact an arborist or local university extension). If it’s not a soil issue, consult a tree professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
Learning to Identify Dying Trees
In this article, you discovered how to recognize the signs of a dying tree, when to remove it, and what actions to take to save it or prevent further decline.
Knowing how to identify a dying tree will help you take prompt action to either save or remove it.
Failure to recognize when a tree is troubled or dying will leave your property and well-being at risk if the tree starts shedding limbs, collapses, or falls.
