garden updates from today (:

[afarcryfrommymain]

Snippet from a scrapped fic idea because I like this part, but I also don't think I'm coming back to it ever.

Context isn't needed because it's really just the first couple of paragraphs, but just know it's New Dawn (of course), and they have some downtime to patch each other up.

Sharky finishes with wrapping my arm in new bandages, a lot of things have happened and changed these past years but I'm glad we're still patching each other up like usual, he hands me the roll he used so I can change his. We could definitely do this by ourselves (we have been for years) but it gives us a chance to chat. Hes telling me a story that he's mentioned off hand but never elaborated on, something about him and Hurk trying to brew moonshine but he dropped a lighter and almost killed them both.

"It was a fuckin shit show lemme tell ya," he moves a lot when talking, "all of our supplies go up in flames, Hurk and I saved a bottle and a half at most, ruined all our progress and we were running low on beer we found in abandoned homes. Shit got rough- ow!"

"Sorry sorry, I always make em too tight," I quickly loosen the wrappings around his thigh, and try again.

"Its good its good, anyway, shit was rough, and then Hurk remembers this video he saw back in the day of these animals getting drunk off rotting fruit on the ground," he hands me the scissors to cut the bandages, "and I'm like 'thats a great idea' and we find this fruit tree and there was a shit ton of fruit on the ground-"

"Sharks, please tell me you two didn't eat dirty fermented fruit off the ground," I can't even hide my exasperation, but I also can't hide the fact that I'm smiling over him doing something stupid.

"I learned my lesson! Swear!" He says, "you can't give me shit for my safety you do dumb stuff too!"

"Oh yeah? Like what," I try not to sound serious, I'm getting back into using tone indicators when I speak since I haven't really been around anybody in a while and I don't want him to think of this as a warning or anything.

Been monitoring the patch of milkweed behind my work for weeks and I finally found the first monarch of the season!! It's the tiniest baby I've ever seen!

If you use insecticides in your garden to kill 'pest' species, im stealing shit from your house. Do you people not understand that those dont only kill 'pests'. Do you really not understand that your attempts to kill every aphid that dare breathes in your space also kills beetles and bees and flies and worms. I am robbing you blind
