The Pine Barrens

#pine barrens #new jersey pine barrens #coastal forest #it's a shame that when you search 'new jersey documentaries' all that comes up #are things like 'camden: america's most dangerous city' and 'newark street wars' and 'the real sopranos' #the pine barrens are an ecological treasure with orchids and carnivorous plants found no where else in the world #and still has people living very traditional lifestyles as cranberry farmers blueberry farmers clamers and fishermen #lots of interesting folklore came out of there like the jersey devil #captain kid #the black doctor #peggy clevenger: witch of the pine barrens #jerry munyhun #wizard of the pines #lots of interesting people too #like elizabeth c white #first person to successfully cultivate blueberries #and elizabeth kite #who inadvertently started the eugenics movement #with her study of the kallikack family #historically the pine barrens was a place for outlaws #and religious rejects #with many pirates bandits quakers and jews fleeing there from ny and northern nj #other places in america like the Ozarks and the great smokey mountains have tons of documentaries about the people and traditions that lived #there #but not nj #which is shame because there are still wilderness and historic areas worth being preserved #the pine barrens are errie but beautiful #eerie because the vegetation is so dense and everything starts to look the same #and the bog iron makes the bottom of coves and streams dark red #like the bottom of hell is there

Behold! A new carnivorous plant species!

It hasn't been proven, but supposedly the people who discovered it noticed that insects were trapped in the glandular hairs. All that needs to be proven now is whether or not it is digesting them.

If so, it will also be the first member of Linderniaceae known to be carnivorous. Many members of this family live in or near wetlands on sandy soil, which is already the preferred habitat of many carnivorous plants. So it was probably just a matter of time.

Rare plant groups have such a narrow focus like... Why don't you just rename yourselves chlorophyll-deficit Araceae groups, 'cause that's what you really are?

Cheat Code #2 for accommodating disabled characters in sci-fi/fantasy:

How you aid a disability depends on if it's a new development or had always existed.

i.e.: If someone's lost their legs to a griffin biting them off last week, giving them steampunk prosthetic legs is a good aid. There's something they can't do, that they very recently could, that they need to learn to work around. The prosthetic legs still need an adjustment period to learn how to use them, but your character knows how legs should work and can figure it out more easily.

If someone lost their legs because, as a child, they wandered away from the space field trip and got partially eaten by a carnivorous plant, then it depends. Prosthetic legs can technically work, but the longer the character was without legs, the harder it'll be to re-learn how to use them. You might want to go with bionic legs for short distances, but a hover chair for daily use.

If someone was born without legs, then prosthetic legs are more hindrance than they're worth. Your character has never had legs, and has no idea how they're supposed to work.

Imagine if you're in a world of centaurs; you're given prosthetic hind legs, and now expected to be able to climb up cliffs with the grace of a mountain goat. It's a whole new skill you'd have to learn, and you would get annoyed with it very fast; how are they supposed to sync with the legs you already have? How are you supposed to balance? You can't feel anything, you don't know how much space it occupies.

Someone who's always been disabled doesn't need the thing they were born without, they need aid that lets them do what everyone else can in a way they're familiar with. If your character has always been deaf, glasses with subtitles appearing on them are infinitely more useful than aids that let them hear, because hearing when you've always had silence is going to have a steep learning curve and be ridiculously overwhelming.

Your rule of thumb?

Try to give them something they're used to.

Note: This is different with very small children, because they're already learning how to use every part of them. If a toddler in your sci-fi was born without legs, they can be taught to use bionic legs at a very young age, but it has to start early or it'll run into the problems above.

Cheat code 1: How to avoid eliminating disability in your setting

Cheat Code 3: How to make your setting itself disability-friendly

Cheat Code 4: How to personalize your character's disability aid

You can't stop me from making Masayuki be friends with every immortal or supernatural woman I love

#yes he has afternoon tea with Morticia Addams and helps her with the plants although he draws a line in dealing with carnivores directly #yes he gifts Wednesday Addams anatomy books with funny notes to tease her even though it's always research material he knows she'll like #yes Lily Frankenstein enjoys the long conversations they have about mortality and how connected we really are to those who made us #yes he met nanny Ashtoreth coincidentally on a job and while he knows something about her dont sit right she is cool and call somethimes #yes condessa Marya Zaleska thinks he's funny and harmless until she finds out he's the world's greatest detective after his death #death note #light up the new world #death note light up the new world #masayuki arai #ryuzaki #addams family #penny dreadful #good omens #dracula's daughter
