2 Steps to Smart Sweetness: TreatBox Accolades

After a joyride with our TreatBox launch during Raksha Bandhan, we’ve enjoyed TreatBox Fiji Day and Prophet Mohammed’s birthday, and then TreatBox Diwali, including a specially packaged batch we did for delivery to elite households in Suva, thanks to an overseas client who wanted to wow them with our product. What an honor! When we reflect on what makes TreatBox special, it’s clear that we…

I’ve been doing some experimenting with different art styles (aside from drawing stick-figure comics I’m also a traditional and digital portraitist) and came up with these retro mythology posters. They’re so fun to create and now I have a huge list of ideas of posters to make! If you like them I’m putting them in my more illustrative Posters for Classics Nerds shop - https://www.redbubble.com/people/ClassicsNerds

did you guys know that if we didn't have nectavore or frugivore bats we wouldn't have many fruits in the supermarket that we have today? such as guava, banana, mango, dragon fruit, and more? so instead of saying bats are useless or that we could live withiut them and shouldn't have them bc they "carry rabies," check again! bats are extremely important for ecological structure :3c

random question....can boss get drunk? And what happens if they are?

I MEANT NOSK, NOT BOSS

pfFF

Hmrmnm. Honestly, I have no idea! I mean, insects can get drunk, so I'm gonna assume it's also possible for nosks! I just don't know exactly what that would entail hgHSDJGH. From what I can find about what happens to Other insects when intoxicated, it's not too different from humans; becoming unbalanced and wobbly, sometimes getting more violent/agitated (see: Drunken wasps are more likely to sting than non-drunken wasps), n other times just becoming more tired and resting more. They can form addictions too, which I did not know could happen for bugs until I found a journal about it so. that's pretty interesting, I would say

As for nosks specifically. Well. I would assume their spindly asses would be more likely to fall over n collapse in a heap of limbs as well as have that Enhanced Aggression, which in this case would be swiping at anything that comes near them Not that they'll be particularly great at fighting back while in this state, but they Sure Will Try!

I was doing some world building for a fantasy story I daydreamed and wanted more of. I *need* to have some internal logic when I’m making things, and the focus of this world building session was magic.

I liked the idea of mana crystals, specifically as an organ one uses to manipulate magic that hardens when one dies - some of the mana one has literally crystallizes as its no longer used, like blood coagulating. Fantasy media I’ve seen tends to just have demonic/magic monsters having magic crystals, and thats one way to differentiate between monster and beast, but I wanted every living thing to have one! I wanted humans to have them, as the core of spells and skills. Plus if everything had one it would make it easier to code later down the line if I was to adapt this into a game.

But... where is the line drawn? I liked the idea of trees and mushrooms having them too, as magic trees give rise to ents and dryads, and magic mushrooms are drugs but also glowy underground, and thats a staple. but... how far back does one have to go in the evolution to have trees AND mushrooms AND animals having the same thing? are we saying BACTERIA gets magic crystals?? what kinda spells are germs gonna cast?

...What about viruses? If I say “all living things have magic”, and I give viruses magic, I’m making a statement I’m uncomfortable making.

I talked with a friend, and he said viruses steal mana from other things in order to duplicate. I loved that. “procreate” is a spell everything knows, even if they’re not conscious of it.

OH DANG! This also is the answer for “surely everyone would get stronger and stronger magic as time goes by?”. The more magic one has, the more susecptible one would be to disease. The viruses and bacteria would duplicate more rapidly in a magic rich environment.

I was also linking magic to consciousness, with hints of who a person/thing was stored in the mana crystal. (oh! I may put resurrection in the setting, with one needing only the mana crystal. in emergencies, adventurers cutting out the magic core of their friends in order to revive them later. easier to take a friends rock than the whole friend)

With the link to consciousness, and the link to procreation, this is an explanation for exhaustion during pregnancy, as “create babe” is a continuous spell and the parent gets dry on magic. Having it as a separate spell rather than an act of biology allows for same gender and mixed species parents, AND removes unwanted/unexpected pregnancies, mostly.

ANYWAY. having “procreation needs mana” as an idea brought the thought that, in this setting, “wizards are the most sexual motherfuckers out there”. And I STILL find that amusing. Enjoy.
