Day 23, Day 24- I didn't actually post anything yesterday, and it's late enough that today is actually tomorrow...Uh. Ignoring that, this is what I'll claim as day 23 and 24. I laid down the lines, which took a while to get right, and today, I was trying to see what I wanted to make with those lines. It's not really doing what I wanted it to, but I still see some kind of potential in it. It's sad we're near the end, and I haven't really been up to snuff lately...
Today’s skele is: Lewis from The Mystery Skulls Animated
“Time for giving up the ghost
F***, it’s you I hate the most”- Mystery Skulls, Ghost
This is how they met, trust me.
Inktober Day 24: Fairy
Inktober 2019 #24: Veriana Flowers Veriana flowers tend to be rare. Each flower it grows has different needs for its environment, and it can be rare for those conditions to all come together in the same area. However, each flower has its own unique root system. As such, these roots can search out soil and nutrient conditions and gravitate towards areas that meet those conditions. All the same, the seeds of Verianas rarely take root unless they can sense ideal conditions somewhere nearby. As a result of their diverse needs, the flowers that Verianas grow also tend to be seasonal, some springing up and flourishing when weather is ideal, and others closing up and receding back into the soil.
The penultimate batch of flowers! Look forward to the last one tomorrow. :)
Jara Flora While glass-like plants usually grow in Crescent Minoria, many of them can also be cultivated in the shady Great Buddy Forest. The Jara Flora is one example of this. While usually found in Crescent Minoria, it was brought over and cultivated here. Jara Flora can make convenient storage and can be tied up by means of the tendrils on the plant's sepals. Usually though a little extra work is needed to make the jar waterproof, but since the petals are made of a sort of malleable glass-like material, sometimes the petals just need to be pressed together tightly and hardened, but a little sap between and over the petal seams can go a long way. Generally though they're used as dry storage unless for vases, in which case the former process is used. Even without doing anything though, they can usually maintain small amounts of water fairly well. Waterbubbles are often stored in Jara Flora to bring home, or else carry for a walk without needing to worry about accidentally breaking them.
Clusteria The fruits are favored in jams. Raw they can be pretty tart, tasting a bit like strawberry, blackberry or grape depending on the ripeness and season. They are usually found in northwestern Amicaia, as well as deep south beyond the mountains, near or on the border of Laykia Layna. Left unattended, though, the ones on the border don't grow quite as well as the ones up north, which can be left pretty much unattended.
Lulia Pathvine One of the three types of Pathvines. Here and there across JI grow enormous vines, bridging land and sky. They are hubs for travelers going up to Sky Buddy World or down to the land, in this case, Wing Alayna. They are meeting places, since are easy to spot; landmarks, and ancient plants that have seen many come and go, and survived many a Buddy-Shadow War. Powercloud drivers get a lot of their business near Pathvines, as a climb up the vine alone is arduous at least and impossible at best. Pathvines also serve to bridge the cultures of Winged Amicans and the non-winged, representing harmony. All in all, it's common knowledge that if you want to get to Sky Amicaia, find a Pathvine. You can either get a ride up from there, or have a little fun climbing a giant vine and then probably getting a ride anyway once you've given up trying to scale it by yourself.
Furubara & Stafflant For a long time, the Furubara (left) and Stafflant (right) were considered to be one plant, called the Furubara Stafflant. However, research has come out that this is not the case... in some cases. Reports have come out about Furubara vines growing from Stafflant plants, so the issue may be more complicated than first supposed. However, the two plants are rarely if ever seen growing apart, particularly naturally. The current consensus is that they are strongly symbiotic plants that either can merge or appear to be merged together at times. Whatever the consensus, though, the Furubara is enjoyable for its sweet and yet spicy, cinnamon-like taste. The Stafflant does not have the best taste, but can definitely be used as a more durable water supply than a Waterbubble fruit, though it can crush when pressed enough. If bits of the Stafflant head are sweetened, they are not terrible in a salad.
Yelia Belia A rain-gathering flower that grows during the rainy season. Its flower can be detached and used as storage. It will continue growing back as long as the rainy season lasts, but once it ends, the flower closes up, so it's customary to leave its flower be at the end of the rainy reason. But for those who've brought their own containers, the flower can be easily tipped to fill them up as much as needed. It is said the flower survives on affection when rain water is scarce, allowing Amicans to take as much water from it as they need, so long as they care for it.
Lifi Kleeflower This lily pad-like flower has a very sweet center, that, when the inside of it is exposed to air, quickly hardens into a crystal-like shape. However, it can be melted down and made into a syrup, though usually other ingredients are added to keep it from crystallizing again when it cools. The petals are mostly decorative, but they do have a mildly sweet taste, so they can make an interesting garnish on a desert, especially crystallized in a thin coat of its bud's syrup. The petals keep fairly well as well, so they are even occasionally seen in costumes made or worn by the fashionable Spinning Amicans. The syrup could technically also be used to sculpt the flowers into non-eating decorations, but with their sweet taste they probably wouldn't last long.
Rolawayva Pichi This plant is well-known for both its leaves and its fruit. The Pichi fruit tastes like a sweet peach, but with a hint of banana around the stripes. The leaves, though usually tasteless on their own, make great wraps, though they may need to be softened a little first as raw can taste a bit rubbery unless you get them young or grow them just right. Nevertheless, if you ever get a wrap in Buddy World, you're likely get something rolled in a Rola leaf.
Patternias
A rare, exotic flower found in the recesses of Furheart Iiah, the depths of Warminia Songlianne, and a rare sighting indeed in Amicaia, Wing Alayna. Highly sought after for its patterned petals, which, when consumed by Fashion Buddys, enable them to produce patterned thread. Which pattern depends on the petal consumed, and there are many different combinations that can be made by consuming multiple. It can get a little unpredictable if you're after a lot of thread, so patterned petals are often saved and traded among the Fashion Buddys depending on who needs what pattern.
Crescia Yoruana A slow-growing, nocturnal plant that grows in shady places such as forests and under overhangs. Though its crescents may fool you into thinking it grows in Crescent Minoria, you'd be surprised to find it only on select islands near it, and looking quite different. Yoruanas that grow close to C.M. get glassy stems and leaves, and if they bear fruit at all, they are much harder, though still tasty if boiled soft. The most common place to find them is Wing Alayna, and even then they're quite rare. There have been some sightings of it on islands near Furheart Iiah, as well, but these also take on some different characteristics, throwing skepticism on the idea that the islandic Gapponian variant of the plant is even the same species at all, or only a plant that is either related or looks similar. Either way, if you can get your hands on the elusive plant and its fruit, you'll find quite the dish can be made from it if you're feeling particularly decadent. Also called the Night Spotil, it shares many of its traits with the renowned staple fruit, though some say it tastes more melon-like than the more appley Spotil. The ones near Crescent Minoria, if you find one soft enough or steam it lightly, taste almost like jellybeans. Others of the Wing Alayna variety have been reported to be more grape-like in flavor, and some think it has to do with the phase of the moon or the time of year when it grows. Either way, its glowing crescents (which can also be half moons, full moons and so forth depending on when these spots form) hold their phosphorescent quality even after being cooked, so many a fantastic and delicious dish can be made merely by using the spots and some of the flesh as an addition to any dish that you want to be absolutely radiant when prepared... quite literally.
Holo Senia Usually found near water. Found in Koraln Sing and parts of Wing Alayna. Its hollow center allows it to send and receive its windblown pollen and seeds easier, which is especially important in Wing Alayna where they are scarce. The petals and leaves are often used for tea, and the petals in particular give a slightly sour taste to an otherwise mild tea.
Today's batch of flowers! Finally, all caught up~ I don't know if I'll be able to stay on top of it this week either, but, worst case scenario I'll just post them in November, lol. Keep reading for more floral information!
Pai-nola Spindling
A young spindling of a Pai-nola tree. At least.... that's what it's thought to be. There has been some debate, due to the longevity of the spindlings in this state, if they are not actually an independent Pai-nola vines, and if there really is any such thing as a Pai-nola tree. There are crude drawings of Pai-nola "trees" in the ancient scrolls, but they've never been seen in their full-grown state. So whether the spindling-like plant is really a vine or a young tree is still not well understood, as Pai-nolas have been known to stay in their spindling state for a long time, even with proper nutrition and in ideal conditions. Legend has it that Pai-nolas have gone dormant, and do not grow past their spindling stage anymore, hence the rise of Pai-nola vines, which can be found clinging to tall objects just like any other vine would. These plants, whatever their identity, can be found growing in both major forests of Wing Alayna, both the Great Buddy Forest and Pachimori, and occasionally even smaller forests. Legend has it they also grow in Crescent Minoria, Furheart Iiah and Batulia Songlianne, but they have never been seen growing there. Although there are some reports of similar plants growing in each of these locations, some may be misclassifications, especially since Batulia Songlianne is known for its barrenness. Though, there may be some merit to the theory, as the snowy environment might suit the alpine plant. Some have even reported fully grown Pai-nolas there, but due to the nebulous nature of Batulia Songlianne, it is still not clear if these, if truly found, were not actually growing in a pocket dimension that has its base on the continent.
Kyurloa Ribbonlar
The silky, pastel, aerial relative of the Lar family. They can be consumed by Fashion Buddys to produce beautiful silk, a highly prized commodity for Dancer Buddys who love to dance with silken sashes. The primary feature of the Kyurloa Ribbonlar is its curly leaves and stem extensions, which are usually picked or eaten first in processing to give the resulting silk a smoother finish. Ribbonlars are quite versatile and can be found growing in many locations such as the outskirts of the Great Buddy Forest, along the Great Buddy River, in the foothills and highlands of the Great Buddy Mountains, in northern Wing Alayna, on Mewga Island, and there are even varieties being cultivated on Fuline Ah. Each of these locations can be found to produce a wide array of colors and textures in the plants, which are highly sought after.
Smallpetal Flyona
A relative of the Sweetpetal Flyona, Smallpetal Flyonas have been cultivated in Sky Buddy World. There is a small difference in taste between the sweetener they produce as opposed to the Sweetpetal, but they are much more prolific and can grow in higher densities than Sweetpetals can.
Kamiltail Shugana
A plant said to be found in the Sweetfields of Furheart Iiah, in the heart of the continent. Similar to the Gumidro Sweetflower, it is uncertain where exactly the Sweetfields are located. There are some areas that might be able to pass for such a location, but they are not in the center of the continent. So it remains to be seen where exactly you can find such sweet plants as the Kamiltail and the Sweetflower.
Wispa Klaudaliif
A cloud flower that bears some resemblance to the sky Lar and Lifernandes families. It is also thought to bear some connection to the white Wing Alaynia plants as well due to their resemblance.
Wispa Klaudaliifs sway at the slightest wind, and are known for the undulating movement their stem and petals make during strong winds, somehow always remaining graceful no matter the gale. Some think of it as the seaweed of the sky for this reason.
Wispa Klaudaliifs are wild flowers that may serve as inspiration for itinerant Fashion Buddys, and their petals may sometimes be added to tea, but they have a very mild flavor, making them better suited to merely adding color to any given culinary creation than rather than enhancing something's taste.
Actually love the fact these OS make me angry at John and at the same time- god the feels
Taught you better
“I'll be right back, just helping Mrs Hudson,” John said, just after he had put Rosie on his chair, and off he was again. Not even a hello to Sherlock. But maybe he really was just in a hurry and wanted Rosie occupied upstairs, while he was quickly helping his former landlady. Sherlock remained in his own chair and smiled at Rosie. “Good afternoon little Watson,” he greeted her warmly. “Hi Sha!”She was making progress with her speaking, but Sherlock remained 'Sha'. She wriggled on the chair, turned on her belly and carefully slid down Johns chair to the ground, smiling proudly when she eventually stood on her feet. She gave Sherlock a wide grin, then she looked to desk and back to Sherlock again, a questioning look on her face. He nodded. Whenever Rosie was with him because John had something on, she takes Sherlock's hand and together they walk to the desk so Sherlock could give her the Rubik's cube. But now Sherlock was watching her take her first steps towards independency by walking there on her own and reaching up to grasp the cube. He watched her with a proud smile and a warm flutter in his stomach. Just as Rosie actually reached for the cube and took it down, John came back. As he entered the room, he saw Rosie on the desk, price in hands, and Sherlock still sitting in his chair, apparently coming to a wrong conclusion. “Rosie,” he said in a scolding voice. “You can't just go and take anything you like in a flat you don't live in!” John sank to his knees in front of his daughter, taking the cube from her hands and replacing it on the desk. Sherlock saw her eyes going wide. Of course she didn't know what she did wrong, she always got the cube when she was with Sherlock, and Sherlock had allowed her to take it on her own. “John,” he started, but John cut him of, waving a dismissive hand behind his back. “I taught you better Rosie, you can't behave everywhere like it's your home.” That hurt. Sherlock could feel the warm feeling from earlier fade, and be replaced by a hot burning and something clenching in his chest. He still considered Bakerstreet as a home for John, and therefore for his daughter. But even if he wouldn't, even then, he would want them to feel comfortable in here, not unlike a home, wouldn't he as her godfather? “John, she really-” he tried again, but John interrupted him once again. “No Sherlock, why do I tell her something? Just for her to ignore it?” Sherlock took a deep breath and tried not to let any of his hurt show. He nodded. Rosie looked sad, and still as if she didn't really know what she'd done wrong. Sherlock couldn't blame her. He searched her gaze and said: “I'm sorry.” After that, Rosie looked even more sad and lowered her gaze to the floor. Sherlocks throat felt tight and he really hoped he imagined the sting of tears in his eyes. But little Watson was in trouble, just because of him. She didn't understand why her father was angry with her, and for some reason she was sad that her father seemed to be angry with him too, and Sherlock felt like he was burning inside, as if something ripped him apart. “But John, I really-” “Sherlock! I'm raising her, yeah?” John's voice was really getting angry by now and Sherlock had to briefly close his eyes. He took another deep breath and stood. “Tea,” he rasped out and fled into the kitchen. He leaned heavily on the counter and let his head hang between his shoulders. No matter what he did, it was wrong, he couldn't do it right, no matter how desperately he wanted to, he wasn't able to. But now he wasn't just getting himself into trouble, but little Watson too. What could he possibly do, to do it right? Or was he just not able to? He sighed and filled the kettle, waited for the water to boil.
