I'm going to show you a game that then gets shut down after you get attached to it

I'm still reeling from the closure of pixie hollow back in like 2015 you can't do this to me again

#seriously that game was my CHILDHOOD #you may have been a club penguin kid but i was a pixie hollow kid through and through #i miss the baking minigame and the sewing minigame :( #and harvest hustle i liked that one. and pinecone pop. #the remakes either have no minigames and insane communities (FABC) or only 2 minigames and not the whole map (WTP)

thinking about the radiance at 4am what if her physical deity form (if she had any) was located somewhere around the top of crystal peak here.

(credit to hallownest.net)

like. why is her statue so deteriorated and cracked up specifically on the cliff side as if some sort of fight happened there. wtf.

#hollow knight #radiance hk #i have so many thoughts about crystal peak btw but im too tired to make the dots connect in a way that makes sense.... #i'll come back to that sometime in the futuree probably if i dont see anyone else having done it #because i find really odd how Hallownest (pale king's) bugs specifically were so obsessed with harvesting those crystals #specially considering how theyre very much implied to be related to the radiance in some way. but i might be misremembering this part

Reminder that Kubo confirmed that the original villain of Soul Society arc was Hanataro

Not Urahara, not Ukitake.

Him.

#affectionately #bleach #bleach meta #i wonder if zangetsu and hisagomaru having parallels is because of this scrapped plot #ill probably make a post soon about that but basically #both harvest reiatsu/wounds #and condense them into red sword beams #both have a monochromatic human like zanpakuto spirit with a white body and black eyes #said zanpakuto spirits may look human but aren't #zangetsu is a hollow and is mimicking ichigo's appearance #hisagomaru is a robot/doll #and robots/dolls are based on the form of a human #so like zangetsu hisagomaru is mimicking the human appearance #both zangetsu and hisagomaru are the only zanpakuto in bleach to be in constant release #maybe kubo later thought of making him a traitor working for aizen but scrapped it for the same reason #think of how heartbreaking it would be though😭 #ichigo was literally the first person to treat hana nicely #rukia talked to him a bit but it was just naturally not really nicely per se #unlike rukia ichigo always believed in hana being more talented and capable than he thinks and would compliment him on it #if anyone yelled at him or just acted rude towards him ichigo would defend him right away #so for hana to originally betray him like that #arrancar arc would've been painful af but tbh he has a motivation everyone just abuses him daily in ss #he really should just leave and go somewhere safer but cant #hanataro yamada #yamada hanataro #hanataro #jushiro ukitake #ukitake jushiro #sosuke aizen #aizen sosuke

I feel so empty

why doesn't god fill me, make me whole?

is that too much to ask?

god just told me why he’s taking his time with you. you won’t believe what he has in mind

#god likes your hollowness for now #but there will be plenty to harvest soon #ask

Gordeau must be having it rough. Not only his friend is dead, he's a victim of toxic masculinity, but he's also french

honestly tho. AND yuzu is insulting his belly button. what if it gets cold in the hollow night he literally just doesnt bring a shirt. like dude pick ONE struggle not 12. WHILE gay, might i add.

#cawing #at age 6 i was born without a face #uniposting #hes so fucking funny i love him. okay mr harvester of greed #not to mention the weird cryptic bullshit he says all the time #i love how hammy unib characters are at all times and how unabashedly they do it. 0 self awareness about how corny it is #its just fun! nobody ever really calls anyone else out on being cryptic and edgy and its fucking hilarious i love them all #eltnum isnt even terribly out of place even tho she acts weird all the time cause people are just Like That in the hollow night.

Hello!

My name is Stevie and my partner’s name is Aeron.

I’m making this blog along with an Instagram and Tiktok to catalog the progress made on my dream which is to one day own and operate a queer café & bakery, along with a little apothecary within the café where we sell holistic home goods like soaps and surface cleaners.

At the moment we haven’t even opened an online store, but when we do I’ll be sure to add the link in the bio!

Wait, which animals raise livestock?

Several species of ants will 'herd' aphids around (a type of plant lice)- even picking them up and putting them back with the group if they wander off. The ants will attack anything that approaches their aphid herds, defending them. The aphids produce a sugary excretion called honeydew, which the ants harvest and eat.

Some ants will even 'milk' the aphids, stroking the aphids with their antennae, to stimulate them to release honeydew. Some aphids have become 'domesticated' by the ants, and depend entirely on their caretaker ants to milk them.

When the host plant is depleted of resources and dies, the ants will pick up their herd of aphids and carry them to a new plant to feed on - a new 'pasture' if you will.

Some ants continue to care for aphids overwinter, when otherwise they'd die. The ants carry aphid eggs into their own nests, and will even go out of their way to destroy the eggs of aphid-predators, like ladybugs.

Microhylids – or narrow-mouthed frogs - have an interesting symbiosis with Tarantulas.

While the spiders could very easily kill and eat the much-tinier frogs, and DO normally prey on small frogs, young spiders instead will use their mouthparts to pick up the microhylid frogs, bring them back to their burrow, and release them unharmed.

The frog benefits from hanging out in/around the burrow of the tarantula, because the tarantula can scare away or eat predators that normally prey on tiny frogs, like snakes, geckos, and mantids. The tarantula gets a babysitter.

Microhylid frogs specialize in eating ants, and ants are one of the major predators of spider eggs. By eating ants, the frogs protect the spider's eggs. The frogs can also lay their eggs in the burrow, and won't be eaten by the spider.

So it's less 'livestock' and more like a housepet - a dog or a cat. You stop coyotes/eagles from hurting your little dog/cat, and in return the dog/cat keeps rats away from your baby.

Damselfish grow algae on rocks and corals. They defend these gardens ferociously, and will attack anything that comes too close - even humans. They spend much of their time weeding the gardens, removing unwanted algaes that might overtake their crop.

The species of algae that they cultivate is weak and and sensitive to growing conditions, and can easily be overgrazed by other herbivores. That particular algae tends to grow poorly in areas where damselfish aren't around to protect and farm it.

Damselfish will ALSO actively protect Mysidium integrum (little shrimp-like crustacians) in their reef farms, despite eating other similarly sized invertebrates. The mysids are filter feeders, who feed on zooplankton and free-floating algae, and their waste fertilizes the algae farms. Many types of zooplankton can feed on the algae crop, and the mysids prevent that.

While Mysids can be found around the world, the only place you'll find swarms of Musidium integrum is on the algae farms that Damselfish cultivate.

Damselfish treat the little mysids like some homesteaders treat ducks. Ducks eat snails and other insect pests on our crops, and their poop fertilizes the land. The ducks can be eaten, but aren't often, since they're more useful for their services than their meat.

There are SEVERAL species of insect and animal which actively farm. They perform fungiculture and horticulture: deliberately growing and harvesting fungus and plants at a large-scale to feed their population.

Leaf-cutter ants and Termites both chew up plant material and then seed it with a specific type of fungus. The fungus grows, and the termites/ants harvest the mushroom as a food source.

Ambrosia beetles burrow into decaying trees, hollow out little farming rooms, and introduce a specific fungii (the ambrosia fungi), which both adults and larval beetles feed on.

Marsh Periwinkles (a type of snail) cultivates fungus on cordgrass. They wound the plant with their scraping tongue, then defecate into the wound so their preferred fungus will infect it and grow there. They let the fungus grow in the wound a bit, and come back later to eat.

I didn’t know that Gretchen can in fact die in Scarlet Hollow

My poor little lady I will never let that happen again

[gallusrostromegalus]

Hi Gallus, I'm doing some worldbuilding and you seem like you could be connected enough for me to find an answer to the problem of dwarven agriculture. Many problems are created by the requirement of no sunlight, as even the common response of mushrooms still need light to break down decomposing matter as a primary energy source. Currently, we're thinking that they use a special type of mushroom that breaks down rocks in an energy-producing reaction, giving them enough energy to absorb nutrients and grow - this would serve a second purpose in explaining why building a massive hollowed-out mountain fortress doesn't produce an equally large amount of gravel.

Any thoughts? We're grasping at straws kinda lol

Well, some thoughts:

There's plenty of cave systems (especially Karst Systems) that are at least partially open to Sunlight- especially the kind that have rivers running through them, which is something else that's really helpful for agriculture.

For Example: This Cool AF Sinkhole cave in china that has an entire Forest in it

Now There's a view to put outside the city Gates!

Karst specifically is a landscape where underground rivers hollow out the limestone underground and then the cave roofs fall in. This kind of landscape answers your gravel question nicely: the hollowed out mountain does produce an equal amount of gravel, but the gravel turns up as the sandy banks of the river system hundreds of miles away.

So, there's your sunlight that can be used directly, or reflected or magically transferred deeper into the cave system.

Or they just put more holes in the roof! Unless your dwarves are also vampires, there's no reason for them to not hollow out a few Skylights into the mountain too.

But let's talk some other cave ecology and agriculture!

For starters, your dwarves could be sitting on top of a literal gold mine that would allow them to trade for a lot of needed materials and crops.

And by gold mine, I mean Salt Mine.

Historically, salt comes out of hollowed-out mountains and is worth more than gold.

Also something the humans have historically fought a bunch of wars over, so there's some free political tensions if you needed that!

I can also mean the possible fucking enormous piles of bat guano that accumulates in Karst caves, which is the world's most insanely good fertilizer, and ALSO something that has been worth more than it's weight in gold.

Speaking of Gold, another thing that often lives in sinkhole caves in abundance is BEES. turns out, limestone stalactites are a terrific place to build a hive that is difficult for predators to reach, stays dry and the stone substrate means the hives can reach many tons in weight before they start having structural issues. That sweet, sweet insect-derived liquid gold is already important to Dwarves in a lot of folklore- it's really hard to have a Traditional Dwarven Mead Hall without the honey to make the mead, you know?

So you got your mushrooms, you got your sunlight-grown sinkhole crops, you got your traded goods and you got your source of alcohol- the only thing really missing from an ancient food pyramid here is a staple carbohydrate. To that end, may I propose our good Peruvian Friend: The Potato.

Grain crops aren't actually all that nutritious and were kept around in ancient societies more as legal tender that kept the peasants busy, because wheat or rice takes months to grow, an enormous amount of labor to harvest, and wheat also needs to be milled before it can be turned into food- all enormously time-consuming processes that keep peasants busy and easy to rule tyranically over.

Potatoes though? Pop one in the ground in spring and you can dig up fingerlings all summer, and if you make potato towers, you can harvest up to 40lbs of delicious, easy-to-prepare-and-store carb out of a single plant- a real space-saver for the limited sinkhole skyspace.

If your dwarves have cheese, the potato makes even more sense, because Potato+dairy is the easiest, most nutritionally complete survival food there is.

Finally, consider: Dwarven Vodka.

This post is open for anyone to comment suggestions on, but that's my take: put your dwarves in a Karst-sinkhole cave system, give them a highly in demand resource like salt or guano, bees, and taters. Boom. Whole agriculture, economy and political scheme starters.

[cryptotheism]

The closest they gnome culture has ever come to religious conflict, was a single summer in 1385, in which the high priests could not determine who had made the better berry wine for the festival of flowers.

For a full twenty minutes, the undecided holygnomes retreated into the divine sanctum within the hollow spirit tree, wherein they meditated and shared in good-natured debate.

Ultimately, it was decided that the lavender and citrus sangria best represented the spirit of the summer, and the year was blessed with a bountiful weed harvest.
