as someone who has been personally chased around a van by an angry buck, I have to say that antlers are plenty scary on their own and the fangs are just overkill
reblog this with a wish and I’ll reply with a description of how a genie might grant it
lets see if the fairy-lawyering practice has paid off, alright here we go.
I wish to have, within the next hour extending until such time as I decide verbally out loud to not have the results of this wish, the ability to grow any plant of my choice for the sensible duration of that plants lifetime without physical or mental consequences for anyone involved except for those created by myself willingly and intentionally depending on what I use that plant for, and the plant will have no extra characteristics beyond that of the plant that it is as defined by botanical science up to the point that I am, at the time, brining life to that plant and the plant in question will be immune to plant diseases for up to three years, after which time it will be susceptible to all things as other plants in the environment are susceptible to and no more than other things in that area are. Plants include all members of the scientific kingdom Plantae and the ability shall only be applicable when I personally wish it to be, and at all other times will be rendered inert until use is wanted.
Very well, you get your wish.
However, this is contingent upon you “brining” your plants by soaking them in salty water. Good luck getting them to thrive.
Seaweed.
You can now feed the world.
Also, mangroves might be worth a shot, depending on how much of the plant has to be submerged for it to count.
I wouldn’t take a genie wish. If I couldn’t get out of taking it, I’d make it something incredibly simple, like “please cause this single pebble, and only this single pebble, to turn bright purple”. I doubt I could phrase any big request to where it couldn’t be taken advantage of.
Things that live in salty water, on the other hand, I know plenty about.
What do you get when you combine two teens, two pre-teens, two boxes of large glowsticks, a nighttime backyard, and a dad with an expensive camera that can do extremely long exposure times?
This.
Started out as glowstick waving and lightsaber fights,
Devolved into glowstick-throwing fight,
Then (thanks to brother managing to deflect glowsticks with his arms and me getting an idea) into throwing glowsticks for someone with a lightsaber to try and deflect,
Then finally into a lightsaber fight while being pelted with glowsticks.
Lemme tell ya, a glowstick that’s five inches long and half an inch wide makes a very loud sound when it bounces off the bicycle helmet you’re wearing.
Today I learned that I can throw marginally better than my brothers can. This is still not well, none of us are athletic. I can do a less-than-terrible job of deflecting glowsticks, too, and I suspect we all could have done better if we’d been better at aiming the glowsticks actually at each other.
[Images: various squiggles of colorful light against a dark outdoor area, caused by rapidly moving glowsticks and glowing toy lightsabers. Vague, transparent shades of moving people are visible in some.]
“Rose is horrible for not loving Pearl back!” “She NEVER acknowledged that love!!” “How could she choose Greg over her!??” “and then left them all to become Steven!?!” “She didn’t have to give up her gem!!” “She could have had him ‘normally’!!”
I’m sorry you’re all so hurt, but…. here’s another thing?
Pearl’s love for Rose was toxic in its co-dependency. She needed Rose’s approval to feel any kind of self-worth. Rose wanted Pearl to be her own person, to love someone for their own sake, like Mystery Girl, not because she has a toxic need to.
Pink had a Pearl. Her very own. That’s like feeding a love potion to someone; of course they will love you; they were literally made for you. Doesn’t Pink deserve to know a complete stranger can love her, like Greg? Not to mention, there is a creep-factor here now; If she could tell Pearl not to speak of something again, what else could she tell Pearl to do against her will? I don’t think Pink wanted that, wanted a relationship with that kind of power over someone– And that is the best fucking thing about her:
She did NOT want power over anyone, unlike Yellow and Blue. She just wants to be free. If that isn’t redeeming enough for you…
Think this shit through pls SU fandom, these Utopian Loves between some of these characters were toxic af from the very beginning. All of this conflict needed to happen for things to improve.
The curse bewitches you so that you are unable to talk about it. You cannot tell anyone of your curse through speech or writing or action. Any attempt to do so will fail – you will find your tongue frozen, your fingers paralyzed, your charades paused, and no force of will can overcome this.
Fortunately for you, the witch who bewitched you was off her meds that day and plum forgot to add any other effects to the curse. There’s nothing to talk about even if you were able to.
These are actually shrews!! They all hold onto the base of each other’s tails and travel in a line so they don’t get lost from their mother while out in the open! ((What makes it even better; these little groups are referred to as caravans!))
