Just think: when she's kidnapped Furiosa gnaws through the fuel hose of her captor's motorbike in order to slow him down and allow her mother to catch up,

and when she accepts the Black Thumb's last agonised plea to finish the job and save the War Rig, she crawls with a fuel hose clenched between her teeth in order to fix the engines and allow the Rig to outrun its pursuers

so i was doing super well until i wasn't in 2023 w my succulent pot...was checking the black thumb tag and saw the last things i talked about was my lucky bamboo (dead bc i fucked up w fertilizer, shouldn't have) and the aloes in my giant succulent pot (forgot it outside during winter 2022-2023)

i didn't want to do plant stuff until i could get a hang of myself bc they don't deserve the black thumb. but! i was going to a plant show with ken's wife (and ken ig) and i got fixated on the idea of an orchid bc saw a cool photo of a black orchid, but upon further inspection it's not a moth orchid i can buy at the local big box store so i had expectations for the show

no funky orchid at the show (so many other exotic plants tho), but then i stopped by this nursery on the way home and lo and behold, the owner of the store is obsessed with orchids and had a few for sale. most were the normal moth orchids, i like them well enough but i didn't like the colors available

and then i saw this "older gent," as the owner described the orchid

(second pic is higher definition)

less likely for me to kill him, he's more robust because of his age. different from a moth orchid (monopodial) because of those "canes" that grow out (sympodial). the flowers are also very different from what people typically think of as an orchid, another draw, little goth flowers (weird coloring bc he's a complex hybrid species i think?)

#redglyphs #black thumb #<- hopefully that tag becomes a ward against the actual black thumb #i also have the big lego orchid #my office is decorated w most of the botanical collection #can't kill those #i think it'd be cute to eventually build up a goth flower collection #limited to only what fits on a single plant shelf #but that's a long-term thing #this guy needs to survive first #mr verm has been like ''ofc you're on orchid-tube now. so predictable'' (he says this fondly)

This year, we feast like kings!

Big fan of Black Thumb, Praetorian Jacks previous ride along, and his character potential. He seemed like such a charismatic and chill dude, and like him and Jack were good coworkers. I may or may not have also thought he was incredibly handsome
