Bob and/or Larry from VeggieTales.

I have no thoughts on the matter, I'm just enjoying this thought too much

Bob and Larry are evangelical protestants and would never associate themselves with anything so idolatrous as a crucifix. That's against the Second Commandment. It may not be a big deal though because Larry famously does not have any hair, so the likelihood of shaving coming up is low. They also don't have any blood.

I think, being vegetables, the main threat to them is going to be being fed to whatever poor human schmuck Dracula has invited over. It was pointed out that while the well-described meals in Budapest featured new world vegetables very heavily, the meals Dracula himself served seemed to be exclusively pre-columbian exchange, suggesting that Dracula may have no idea what to do with a tomato, culinarily speaking. So Bob at least might be...uninteresting to him, and Larry has a whole super hero persona and the ability to break the fourth wall. Neither of them is likely to be terribly appetizing to wolves. They might do okay.

Now what I want to see is the VeggieTales characters facing off against Bunnicula.

I’m enjoying my stay in Wichita. Today I went to the beautiful botanical garden, The Botanica. I saw a lot of wonderful plants, butterflies and birds. Oh, and a couple of squirrels! The Botanica. Wichita, Kansas in the USA (September 18, 2023).

Don't try.

----------

Don't try

I guess if it comes it will light a bulb.

So i write stuff and bulbs fires up like fireflies in my mind

So it's a kind stuff to have an imaginary word selection and verbal ecstasy.

But sometimes it's too much firewood that burns inside.

I guess it's just like that.

Creative flaw but it's mostly flow.

When eyes and eyebrows close inside

And blinds hit the imaginary sight.

Sometimes it's like blight

But you better hurry and replant the rest

New soil and moss because it can get really gross

Few sunflowers radiate inside looking for sunshine and then when it's dark it gets too close and firewood cracks up

Along the firefly choir

And other critters in the fields and forests.

And then again it's empty and quiet

Quite a good rest actually

Sometimes restlessness factually

And then some of the critters rest finally

And the silent writer speaks in whispers

And with patience he come to surface

After days, months even years.

.--------.

One Shall Rise, Epilogue, part 9 & 10

Evil plant lady!

Don't know why but I really like the idea of flora-formers / plant formers like Botanica. Shame I had to kill her off, as I don't think it'd be in character at all for SG Orion Pax to let her live considering she tried to kill him, is a close friend of Dai Atlas, and knows he murdered Sentinel Prime...

☆ FINALLY AND OFFICIALLY RELAUNCHED ☆

It took awhile but I've been renovating my website and saving money aside to make products to supply my own Botanica and I'm so proud to announce that it's available for you guys to purchase. I currently have in stock reiki infused conjure oils (one for self-love and one for protection), incense, and shower steamers. I unfortunately have to postpone my availability for readings and reiki sessions until this semester ends for college because I do not have it in me to juggle all of these things at once. Thank you all for the support and if you're interested in seeing my catalog and purchasing, you can do so at www.theindigopriestess.com

Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors?

ooooOOOooooooh

Does it make a difference whether ut's Audrey II from the original movie, from the stage musical, or from the film adaptation of the musical? I think their (her? its?) character is largely the same in all three, but I believe only the third text provides any mechanism by which the plant can be destroyed: electricity. And there is no electricity in Castle Dracula (presumably just one of many reasons he's looking for a new house).

The trouble with Audrey II is that she and Dracula are two of a kind - obligate hæmovores bent on conquest who exert a mesmeric power and have satanic/demonic coding (Audrey II as a Tempter, Dracula just for funzies). Who is playing whom? Is Audrey II there as Dracula's invited guest? Or did this Strange Plant just appear in the Castle during a TO-TAL E-CLIPSE OF THE SUN (da-doop).

[I looked it up, there was a total solar eclipse on April 16th, 1893 - the date on which, according to Stoker's notes, Jonathan Harker visited Mina at her schoolroom before departing for Transylvania - probably for the purpose of proposing. This is a convenient moment for Audrey II to have arrived on our planet. Unfortunately this eclipse was off the coast of Brazil, which is a bit out of the way for our purposes]

Okay it's bothering me - what are Audrey II's pronouns? The human characters refer to the plant as "it." Or should it be "she," because Audrey II self identifies as a mother (specifically, one that is mean, green and from outer space). Is there any clue botanically - Audrey II reproduces both sexually and asexually (that is, both via flowers and via cuttings - and possibly spores? As in "I swear by all my spores" - but Audrey II at least appears to be an angiosperm why are there spores?? But Audrey II is also an alien so maybe the question is "why not") I... yeah I dunno. You guys decide:

So okay. We know Audrey II can fake being in distress to basically beg for treats. Like Dracula, feeding seems only to increase its hunger (and power). All plants will happily drink blood (they sell blood meal fertilizer, it's a good source of potassium) but Audrey II seems to actually require it. Does this mean she doesn't require normal Plant Things like water and sunlight? Seymore initially cares for it like an ordinary plant and it doesn't help, but it remains unclear whether the blood is sufficient as well as necessary. Like, it's not like he stops watering it, right? Although given that the plant travels through space and arrives during an eclipse, it might well not require things like sunlight and rain.

Does Dracula want a houseplant that is going to be competing with him for nourishment? Or is it convenient that he doesn't have to go for groceries twice, as it were? Since Audrey II frequently eats people whole, is this a good waste disposal unit to avoid vampire toddlers clogging up the Castle? Will Audrey II be content being tossed the scraps and leftovers of the Castle's humanoid residents. Does Dracula really want a fourth thing in his Castle incessantly demanding to be fed? Audrey II is not particularly solicitous about her needs - and very much does not do as she's told.

Audrey II is fundamentally a Tempter - what can they offer to Dracula that he can't already do for himself? There's a reason that Audrey II textually preys on a desperate impoverished orphan - just as Dracula does. I want to say Audrey II is a master manipulator but... really all they seem to do is find a poor schmuck with nothing going for him, give him a taste of success, and then browbeat him into submission. Dracula will not respond well to this approach. Dracula is not really the right kind of Mark for the Mean Green Mother from Outer Space - until or unless he actually moves to London. It's no Cleveland, but it's still extremely edible.

I guess what I keep circling back to is that they're too similar. They want the same things - to glut themselves on teeming millions in an ever-widening circlre of ...plants... perhaps for centuries to come. Neither is terribly useful to the other because they each have the same role. Dracula is not going to be feeding Audrey II with his own blood - he may decide to feed it with other people's blood but... why? Audrey II can't tempt Dracula with fortune and fame and the girl of his dreams. Neither is going to be especially tolerant of the other's attitude. Most frustratingly, neither one can eat the other. Well, Audrey II physically can eat Dracula (if someone's been feeding her up to this point), but I doubt Dracula would fall for "come close enough to trip and fall into my open mouth" you know? Especially with the shape-shifting and the mistform and all that.

Okay wait I think I've got it. Dracula and Audrey II is kind of a non-starter, but Dracula isn't the only person who lives there. I think the Girlies and Audrey II could come to some kind of arrangement. They'd feed it their leftovers, and in return the world's Most Interesting Plant might be an ally for them against Dracula. Again though, nobody is going to respond well to Audrey II just hurling abuse at them when she doesn't get her way. But I am enchanted by the idea of the Girlies and their Green Best Friend moving to London in Dracula's place and opening a little flower shop and then just happily eating people together forever. Maybe they can set up next door to that pie shop in Fleet Street

I am gonna call this one at I really don't know
