Ok I know this has probably already been discussed, but what I love about the “The girl murdered Snoke” bit is that, for anyone to believe that, they have to believe that Rey single handedly (1) defeated Snoke, (2) the entire Praetorian guard, AND (3) Kylo Ren all by herself.
A) Pretty sure Hux is not that dumb and has already put 2 + 2 together
B) I’m really wondering what Supreme Leader Dumbass’s propaganda machine is gonna be cranking out on that front – because anything that sticks to that story is gonna paint Rey as this almost insurmountably powerful being.
Rey: Hi, I’m Rey-
Entire units of stormtroopers + whole villages of local populations: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
Every time Rey appears on the screen run by awolnation plays in the background
someone make an edit of this I’ll pay you $3 and a dozen muffins of your choice baked by yours truly
I remember all the Doctor Who fanfics I used to read where Rose often got badly stereotyped as a damsel in distress whom the Doctor had to swoop in and save and smooch but the way I remember Doctor Who 90% of their relationship was the Doctor just setting Rose loose on people who had done something to offend them and sitting back giggling in the corner as she shouted
I still say the most unrealistic part of Harry Potter was that there wasn’t a scene where Hermione found 16 year old Harry in a shopping cart on top of the Astronomy Tower while 16 year old Ron stood by with Colin’s camera because if the prophecy says that he has to die via Voldemort then that means nothing else can kill him ergo there’s no way this could possibly go wrong…
“Oh I love roses! I try growing them myself, but they never get very far.”
“Would you like to know the secret to healthy rose bushes,” I asked, knowing that she would not like the answer.
“Do tell!”
Grin. “Blood.”
The customer paused, waiting for me to say that I was kidding. But I wasn’t so it never came. She became nervous.
And before I could explain that blood meal is a common soil fixer and fertilizer, she put her hands up, spun around and said-
“Bye.”
You want to know the secrets to a beautiful garden? You better be prepared for some weird shit.
Well someone felt like being the ominous witch in the small, mysterious shop today.
.
…also, tomatoes like blood too.
My interest in plants extends beyond ‘oh look a pretty flower’ and straight into ‘plants are fucking metal.’
Evidently, you’re supposed to plant garlic in the same places as your roses because the garlic will repel a rose-specific aphid.
So what I’m saying is that between the romantic symbolism of the rose, the bloodmeal in the soil, and the fresh garlic all over the place-
You could really set yourself up for an encounter with some VERY pissed vampires.
Roses really love banana skins, too. Just… stick one in there before you plant a rose bush or spronkle around one that’s already in the ground. They’ll adore you.
Mmm… blood banana.
I made tiny ass Home Depot Petunias blossom like magic that they’re nearly overtaking the trellises.
How did I accomplish this?
Once a week I bury a small amount of leftover meat in the soil.
My morning glories loved the crap out of the charred chicken bones I gave them. They’re already an enthusiastic plant, but the blooms I had this year were extraordinary.
@thebibliosphere Well, if you ever get your allergies under some semblance of more control and want to get on Demon Rose’s good side, I guess
They also like fish too.
IMPORTANT PRO TIP: SOME OF THIS IS FOR OUTDOOR GARDENING ONLY.
Do not sprinkle banana peel on your windowsill garden, you will have fruit flies and A Smell. Definitely do not bury small chunks of raw meat just under the soil of your windowsill garden, you will have Much Worse Flies and A Very Smell.
Blood meal is probably okay, vampires can’t get in unless you invite them, but I would be careful about garlic since it is a pretty stinky plant even before you cook with it.
