Rotting and Growing (magic update)
So, between lemons, apples, and spaghetti squash, I want to say that roughly 200 seedlings sprouted in my kitchen, by accident, from supermarket produce, since the end of August. Which. Is clearly absurd.
But as the stress of ISRAEL BEING ISRAEL started to hit me, while my partner was away, and my kids were sick, because when it rains, it pours -- this ceased, all the seedlings died without explanation, and MOLD started showing up on the interior of citrus fruit.
A newly purchased container of grape juice turned to fizzy wine on my counter, and that's BANANAS because it's mevushal (meaning it had been boiled before bottling). I'm too scared to drink it, but it smells nice, actually, and I want to show my partner when they get back.
What do you think went through his head during those last few moments?
Guilt? No. Regret? Fear? Some sick feeling of everything failing. Some sick feeling of helplessness. Some sick feeling of longing for rest.
I doubt he was thinking about anyone but himself, and for once I don’t blame him. He knew there was nothing he could do. He would never rest, and all his work was for nothing.
Above all, he must have been terrified.

made both a darker and lighter version for funsies
been thinking up some more rotpocalypse scenarios with my own scugs and environments after the new video/animation on Rotpocalypse
I suppose this is a companion piece to the Rotpocalypse. Mainly written down for my own records.
"Surely there is more to me than simply decay," I said to myself. "I'm an artist. Surely there's a growth and healing side, too."
I turned to Ogma and asked. He didn't really say much.
I think I'd mentioned (or maybe not) that there had been a lighter side of my rot powers, that fermented things, turning them into beer or wine, depending on the target.
Have you ever seen a lemon's peel liquify around the intact fruit? No? Neither me, but it'd happened. I used a spoon to put it into the trash. Then it happened again, but this time, I massaged off the zest and pith, looking at the completely intact fruit which smelled like alcohol. I pondered what this interesting new flavor friend might taste like, but my partner talked sense into me, and it, too, went into the trash.
One the third day, I opened a spaghetti squash, and every single last seed inside of it had sprouted. It had come from the supermarket. We planted them. I tried to eat what remained of the squash's flesh but it was terribly bitter.
And then... every apple, every lemon, every fruit that wasn't seedless, the fruit inside of everything had sprouted.
I determined to try and channel this power into healing a cold. The results were underwhelming, but still atypical of that particular person's pattern with respiratory colds, in a good way. I'll keep trying.
A super power of growing food from seeds inside of supermarket produce isn't nothing.
Making food and healing people would be based.
