Mushroom In A Forest

Queen never cry legend never die

[mushroominaforest]

What’s good everyone, I’m Mushroom, I’m in a forest, and now you are too 🔥

Some info:

I’m one of those he/hims. I am also in the possession of she/they pronouns that I stole from @slide-into-the-void. I don’t use those pronouns I just have them.

Big fan of fungi, and related organisms like slime molds and lichens.

I made a rain world au called the rw siblings au, there’s an ask blog for it, @ask-the-colony-tree-siblings, if you’re interested! I don’t post much anymore, but occasionally someone will give me a burst if motivation via a reblog or an ask, and I draw stuff lol. Everything will be under the tag #rw siblings au :)

I have ocs! They’re all under #mushroom oc post, but I’ll be making a tag specifically for my current story, which has a working title of Overgrown. (Okay it exists now, #Overgrown oc post, very creative I know)

Other tags are #mushroom scug, #scugshroom colony (not one but two separate projects combining mushrooms and rain world lol) and #mushroom complaining (vent tag, I made it so anyone who wants to can block my vents without having to block anyone else’s vents lol)

(I reblog stuff to @mushroominaforestreblogs btw)

Okay so I thought sleep paralysis demons were just like shadowy figures that lurked around ominously. I didn’t know they could touch you, talk to you, or look like real people you know. Why was my sleep paralysis so freaking realistic and terrifying for no reason. 

I was face-down when I got it, so I didn’t get any visual (thank god), I was just stuck flat on my face on my bed and I couldn’t move or talk or anything. I felt the classic pressure in chest thing that is apparently super common, overall unpleasant but not awful or anything. I was about to fall back asleep when I felt someone get onto my bed and start talking to me. And like, I know this person, I know their voice, it’s someone I’m scared of irl. And I could feel them sitting on me, touching my back and my hair and stuff, whispering creepy ass stuff like “did you miss me?” in their voice. Whyyy was it so realistic. Why was my brain doing all that. Absolutely no reason to do that by the way. 

Like bro I think I got some bullshit fucking PTSD nightmare slash sleep paralysis demon combo attack. Why couldn’t I just get the anonymous shadowy monster why did I get sleep paralysis trauma edition what the hell man. I thought it was real. I was so terrified.

And of course none of my friends are awake because it’s like 5am so now I just gotta cry about it on Tumblr I guess. To nobody. Because all my online friends are also asleep. 😭

Love my English teacher. She shortens “thesis” to T.S. and I always read it as ts lmao

“Could this shit be more definitive” I don’t know man. Probably.

[mushroominaforest]

Hiya mushroom how ya doin? I graduated and am in Europe!

Congrats on the grad and also woah, Europe! I lived there once. Are you there to stay?

[mushroominaforest]

do Kami and Zizi ever get up to mischief apart from kudzu? do they need sneak out to get time to themselves?

Yes they do!!!

They have access to a car, their mom is essentially a mafia boss so she’s rich and she does that rich people thing where she owns a bunch of cars that she barely even drives lol. Zizi and Kami are allowed to drive two of them (they alternate to lessen suspicion), unless she gives them permission to drive other (fancier) ones.

That said, I wouldn’t get into a car with either of them. Zizi is a speeder, plays their music crazy loud (not good for staying under the radar), and will try to drift corners. Kami is marginally less reckless, but he Can’t Fucking See (+he gets raptured when he sees someone’s high beams lmao), so until he gets glasses he is absolutely not a safe driver either. That doesn’t stop them ofc, they like to go on little day trips to a nearby city about two hours away where they’re less likely to be recognized, and don’t have to worry as much. They still can’t let their guard down, but there’s no Weedkillers there who’ll know their faces well.

But they don’t always have the time for that, so when they decide to go out partying or something (ie when poor introverted Kami is held at gunpoint and forced to go to a club) they dress up in disguises. Zizi in particular loves this so much, they have a lot of fun dressing up and putting on different personas. Their main struggle is hiding their neon blue braids but they make it work with hats or wig things or wrapping up their braids or whatever they can think of. No they will not be changing their hairstyle to be more subtle. They straight up do not care about Kudzu enough for that.

But yeah here are some bonus sketched of potential Zizi disguises I doodled a while ago while brainstorming for a scene. They switch it up a lot so they don’t start looking familiar, and also just for love of the game.

They are very good with makeup btw (they have every artistic hobby under the sun) and can pretty much make themselves look totally different.

(Bonus fun fact: Kami usually dresses fem when they go out to party or club or whatever. This is totally just so he isn’t recognizable and there’s no alternative reason he might possibly be inclined to do this. Nothing at all.)

[mushroominaforest]

Can’t even make this stuff up

I’m concussed rn (one-wheel accident lmao) so I’m not supposed to be driving, my mom agreed to take me to the event I have to go to, not even an hour later I get a text that I will be driving myself because my mom has fractured a bone in a mountain biking accident 😭 must be boring as hell living in other families

[mushroominaforest]

me when I splish splash in the lake (+ sketch and two colour effects I liked)

I had a feeling that Instagram was cooking my attention span a little so I had to take 2 hours and lock in drawing some swirls lol

[mushroominaforest]

When I woke up I was so disoriented these were genuinely my first two thoughts

“Bro who even is you” and it was my mom
