#free will and sentience are essential elements of it. the humans' inventiveness and enduring will is needed for the survival of the plants

WAIT WAIT. do plants literally need love to survive???? Tesla died so quickly in part because she was neglected in her needs as a person -- did the twins only survive because Rem showed them that there was a place they COULD survive? Did Tesla's body just go "there's no place for me here" and shut down? The dependent plants only survive because people care for them and tend to their needs. Are independents the same, just with different needs?

#im having a lot of half-formed thoughts about how the plants 'know' 'how to be' a person/a part of something greater #they have a more powerful connection to symbiosis than humans do -- they KNOW they can't survive without community #humans can -- and often do -- lie to themselves that they don't need other people #but the plants KNOW that they wouldn't survive alone. and they know that humans wouldn't survive without them #the independents play a different role. they're able to see and understand humans' frequent need for self-reliance and they refute it #wait don't only the first couple tags show up in search #trigun maximum #trigun tesla #trigun #ok back to rant #independents are the mouthpiece of the plants -- their advocates #most symbiosis in nature works on a more fundamental level where such communication isn't necessary #but the humans' symbiosis with the plants operates on a higher level of consiousness #free will and sentience are essential elements of it. the humans' inventiveness and enduring will is needed for the survival of the plants #this is all just a bunch of loose post-its on the wall btw otherwise id jyst make a post about it lol #anyway thank you for your time i love yall
