#everyone deserves food

Eddie being a terrible cook is funny till you remember how he tried to cook for his sisters when he was 12 but ended up getting yelled at by his dad instead & maybe this is why he never learned to cook properly until he ended up as a single father and had no choice but to start cooking for his son.

food service worker with low restraint on eating the food is very good. however. consider. food service worker with soooo much restraint. too much restraint. workaholic trying to get through with no breaks food service worker. Making food for other people and starving the whole way through but it's okay because they're making money. Not even necessarily that, maybe their establishment doesn't even give them free food for breaks. Miserable the whole time at no one's expense because it's their own. It's about drive it's about power we stay hungry we do not devour !!

Kirby and Bandana Dee’s Expedition to Toadstool Thicket

Based off:

Some world-building for Toadstool Thicket because I was bored:

In Toadstool Thicket, you’ll find many inhabitants here, such as:

And most importantly:

Many craps decided to move to Toadstool Thicket after wanting to do more than just falling apart and exploding in a Kirby sub-game in a Kirby spin-off game (Mass Attack, my beloved). Craps love living in Toadstool Thicket and will clean up whatever trash they find! Which usually means they self-destruct, destroying the trash but also themselves in the process.

Tree:

Scientific name:

Arecaceae Muscaria

Other names include:

Palmstool:

The most common name for this tree is because it looks like a fusion of a palm tree and a toadstool.

Toad Trees:

Kids often call these trees Toad Trees, due to the Toad Trees having a large mushroom on the top of their base that can be bounced on. Most kids don’t know that toads can’t jump and frogs can.

Coconuts:

The trees mutated these coconuts to look and sometimes even taste like a mushroom. These coconuts evolved to no longer have their green outside due to their pattern being enough to ward off any animals. This energy that was used to make the green outside is now used to maintain their life expectancy. Due to the large mushrooms they host acting parasitic in nature.

Instead of there being a seed inside, there's a mushroom that has rooted itself in the meat of the shell. The mushroom seed makes the coconut dangerous to eat, but it's not impossible. With enough skill, the inhabitants of Toadstool Thicket learned to carefully remove the roots from the meat, allowing it to be consumed. The water, on the other hand, is much easier to prepare by filtering it through activated carbon.

The meat on the outside of the shell has the texture of a mushroom and the flavor of a coconut. The coconut water, on the other hand,  is more complicated. Depending on how big the mushroom in the coconut is, the water can have a broth-like taste to it. 

Notice the graph above:

Dot 1:

At dot 1, the mushroom is small, basically giving the coconut the classic coconut taste with barely any hint of mushroom.

Dot 2:

At dot 2, the mushroom is at its ideal size, the coconut water has a mushroom broth flavor with hints of coconut to balance out the saltiness of the mushroom. Perfect for any recipe that includes these coconuts. Chefs have killed to get the perfect coconut. It's also great bragging rights to say your dish is all natural and not modified to taste like the ideal coconut.

Dot 3:

At dot 3, the mushroom is large, giving the water a mushroom broth taste that's a bit too salty for anyone's liking.

Some dishes that can be made using the coconuts:

The coconut shells can also be used in dyes and give off a lovely red to maroon color.

Bird Statues:

These bird statues can be found everywhere in Toadstool Thicket. No one knows why they were made, but popular theories are:

-They were made to please their gods

-They were made in the image of their gods but were also used as guides to keep track of where you were in the forest

-They were made for their rulers who usually associated themselves with the gods.

But the even stranger thing about these statues is that there's a third version of this bird statue with longer wings but their heads are completely destroyed and with what researchers assume to be the beak, tucked under their wing. And unlike the other statues, are hollow.

There are three popular theories about what this statue could've been:

Theory #1:

They were large instruments designed to be performed for the Gods.

The reason for this is because the statue closely resembles a Bird God who is the embodiment of music and karma. This is due to its large wings and tail. There are also traces of DNA inside these mysterious statues.

Theory #2:

They were used to contain and filter water. This is because the statue could also resemble the Bird Goddess of water and life, who also had large wings and a tail. This one is the weakest theory of all three.

Theory #3:

They were used as coffins to respect and bury the dead. This is because (this is the final one) the statue could also resemble the Bird God of death. Along with the DNA that was mentioned earlier found inside the statue.

Alternatively, there's another theory that stems from the previous one that the statues were used for punishment. Forcing the person who has committed the crime to be trapped and sealed away in the statue until they die. This is because some people believe that the Bird God of music and karma is the same as the Bird God of death, making this an oddly poetic way to punish criminals. The DNA, and a more recent discovery that the old civilization was more strict on what was right or wrong with them having punishments being cruel and unusual, like eating a coconut with its shell on.

That’s all I want to say about Toadstool Thicket

I��m going to watch Over the Garden Wall now.

YUI: You’re just assuming that you’ll win, MEGU! If you lose, you’ll have to do the forfeit too! Don’t try to escape it!

MEGU: YUI lost every single game!! His nonexistent poker face is just too easy to read lololol

[bloodenjoyer]

i’m so fucked . but i don’t even care lol

[the-owl-tree]

something that rubbed me the wrong way abt the sister’s was the fact that they’re supposed to be seen as oppressing men and it’s just such a twisted, backwards and unnatural society!!!1111!1 been a while since I’ve read sqh and haven’t read tree’s roots to be fair, but like isn’t their whole thing independence and spiritual connection to the earth and finding your own path?? tree’s just mad these hippie milfs won’t let him be a bum so he found cats who will and he makes it the problem of literal children

Had me up onto the "won't let him be a bum" part. Nothing wrong with wanting to stay with your family and continue receiving help/safety/food/etc., definitely doesn't make you a "bum".

Their belief is that "sisters sing to the stars and brothers talk to the land", toms are sent out to wander because of their connection to the land and are meant to protect it. (So no, they do not think Toms are lesser.). So while yes, there is an explicit spiritual reasoning to what they do, it still can be argued that making six moon old toms leave even when they don't want to is wrong. Which yeah sure it is if they were real. But they're not! This isn't a real group, the characters aren't real people doing this and in a serious which has been so vehemently misogynistic, the "what if toms didn't have it easy??" narrative is laughable.

Like this group exists within a series that has posited that it is a woman's duty to give birth and raise children (and if she doesn't want to, she's a heartless abusive bitch), that frequently kills off its female characters to fuel the male character's arc or give them some emotional man pain for a bit, and when they do live their arcs frequently revolve around romance or children. The Sisters are not "misandrists" or whatever, they're just another trope of the authors shitty skewed views of women. Tree's novella has him frequently pointing out how ~unfair~ the Sisters are and one of the bigger plot points is him meeting his True Loving Father who is dismayed at his Bitch Mate.

It doesn't help the fandom conversation around them is insufferable (but quite frankly a lot of that is a broader issue of people on Tumblr conflating words. Equally annoying but a bigger conversation than just kitty cats).

Anyways, there's my Sisters rant. Can we please think a little more about this group and how they're treated within the narrative, as well as the authors track record when it comes to female characters in this series. Please.
