I've been browsing carnivorous plant websites and I need everyone to see my new favorite "X for Scale" image:

PUT BABY IN NEPENTHES PITCHER.

Source

[telomeke]

[ID–

A large pitcher plant in a greenhouse. In the background are various other tropical plants, including one with a tall spray of small flowers.

The rim of the pitcher is attractively striped in different shades of rust, orange, yellow and pale green. The inside of the pitcher appears speckled. The outside is mostly a smooth green tube.

For scale, an adult (mostly out of frame) is holding a onesie-clad baby next to the pitcher plant. The pitcher is almost as large as the human infant, who is blithely oblivious to the carnivorous plant next to it.

End ID.]

this place was certified ghost-free when I signed my lease. if what you're saying is true, that would be a fun lawsuit.

[mercswercs]

ghosts an' memories're one in the same, in a lotta cases. The imprint a' someone what used ta' be alive can be worn again like a glove by its ol' soul, even if they still can't touch ya proper-like, they can be there simply 'cause the past is forever present.

That prolly won' hold up in a court wit' real laws though ay.

[hearthandsoil]

that's all very poetic and profound, but the word does have a more literal definition round these parts. I imagine that's what they mean when they say memories can haunt you though, huh.

[mercswercs]

No aye I'm bein' literal too, that's how it works here. The dead an' memory're the same. It's how psionics work on this planet an' all. The "Noosphere" is buggered.

Not sure how yer local ghosts go, but closure tends ta' put 'em ta' rest. Hokey as that sounds har har har

[hearthandsoil]

oh, i'm sorry then. ghosts here are a bit more classic, tied to the place they died and all that. almost always malevolent, with some "unfinished business" type quest attached. not really my area of expertise.

not that it really matters. all this from a little jokey joke.

thought I saw a ghost earlier, but it must have just been the indigestion.

[hearthandsoil]

hm.

[hearthandsoil]

I appreciate a good compliment as much as the next elf, but when it gets this excessive I kind of have to wonder if you're buttering me up to shoplift.

[amnoxiousfox]

they could also be flirting with you for other reasons ~ ;3

[hearthandsoil]

I don't want to knock anyone's preferences, but she was just a bit too old for mine. I'll take the compliment, though.

Also, I saw your other reblog, but just to keep things tidy and convenient, I'll respond here if that's alright. Turns out, the life of a shopkeep isn't too exciting to post about. I sort of forgot all about this. Have I missed anything exciting?

[hearthandsoil]
