That Sounds Actually Miserable Wtf I'm So Sorry I Commend You

That sounds actually miserable wtf I'm so sorry I commend you

RAHHHH I NEED TO GET UP IN LIKE SIX HOURS FOR CLASS BUT I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT OUTSIDERS SOMEONE SAVE ME

!!! OMG NO THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADD ONS!! I am spectacularly new to the fandom and I just rocked up like "hey I bet these plants can be connected to a motif. Let's google" so I'm immensely grateful for your context :D

I might stick my nose in the discord and see what's up, that sounds really fun !! Also definitely taking a look at that lore doc hellooo??

I can't believe I forgot to mention the tree song names because you're absolutely right they are so prevalent and add to the overall theme incredibly

Funny you mention wheat too because um. You'll never guess what but. There's a thing called winter wheat and it goes through vernalization—it needs cold temps in order to reproduce. So it's not an evergreen tree, but it very much does survive through the winter. This theme keeps coming up doesn't it?

sighs. sorry if any of this has been done before but im literally going to school for botany and im a literature analysis nerd so. here we go

I personally find it really fascinating Ivory is mistaken as "Ivy" and she has to redirect people away from that. Aside from being an interesting way to introduce a character, there's symbolism potential here. Take it with a grain of salt because obviously, it's a Jonathan Sims situation, it's the creator's name. However. Ivy is a plant, a living organism, and that automatically means a lot more considering this is The Plant Themed Horror Minecraft. Ivory, meanwhile, is . . . dead. It's dead biotic material from an animal. It's prized for its rarity, making it a symbol of wealth if you possess it. Interesting for a servant

Ivy on the other hand is common and well known, fairly easy to obtain. This basically just says that Ivory is far more than meets the eye to the other serving staff

(it's also the name for all those super fancy colleges. You know the ones. Minutes later Clownpierce is informed that Ivory might be "stunted"—she is not an ivy.)

Also I just think it's funny that the head butler assumes she has a plant name because he's so used to the Hemlockes lol

Speaking of hemlock I'm sure this has already been noticed but symptoms of hemlock poisoning include vomiting and restlessness. Pyro didn't seem unsettled by it at all, however. All he does is ask for coffee. A common "settle your stomach and wake up" remedy, but also really great at erasing scents. Wonder if they're being poisoned by someone else or doing it on purpose

White pines being a symbol of peace tho is insane because god it is not peaceful here

hemlock is the name of an evergreen tree as well, named after the poisonous plant. Notable other evergreens mentioned include ivy and white pines.

the symbolism of evergreens is kinda in the name but yeah, longevity and resilience are kinda the keystones here. a little ironic but hey

one of my friends got me into whitepine and the clock is ticking for me to write fanfic about it

I need Scott and Etho to team up at some point.

Etho is a shield. He protects his allies from plots against them, from betrayals, from angry mobs. Many times he's stared at danger or failure and faced them willingly to shield his allies from them.

And Scott's a giver. He'll give someone his time, his items, his devotion. His allies can count on him to give to them, up to and including sacrificing his own life to bring them victory, or maybe just a few more minutes.

What happens when a shield stands in front of someone who'd rather take the bullet? What happens when you try to give everything to someone who'd sooner face down a mob than let you fall? I literally will never rest until these two team up.

university is so scary guys why am I the only one wearing a backpack

you are the only other person in this fandom that I know of who's in college LMAO

I started planning out a modern-ish au (apocalypse !!) and made half of them college students. I only realized afterward how much I was projecting I am a fool
