Dracunculus vulgaris (Voodoo lily)

On Tuesday, our Voodoo lily bloomed for the second time. We bought it years ago at a roadside plant stand and stuck it in a flower bed. Young Voodoo lilies take from three to five years to produce a first bloom but after that they flower every year. This plant is pollinated by beetles and flies and it emits an odour like carrion to attract them. It is recommended that you don’t plant it next to a window.

Tis the season for Mr. Stinky my 5 foot tall voodoo lily to go outside into Stinky Plant Timeout Jail(TM) until he stops blooming

One example of the functional usefulness of the alternative oxidase is its activity in so-called thermogenic flowers of several plant families – for example, the voodoo lily (Sauromatum guttatum).

What would lily look like as a cup?

something like this

I did one where she had wine throughout her whole body, kinda like Chai but it looked disturbing-ish to me since it was red so I just removed it

but yeah, she'd be a wine glass, seductive ig but very delicate

callback to her old cup re-imagine thingy, slightly redesigned

the redesign repulses me

In Perpetual Spring

by Amy Gerstler

Gardens are also good places to sulk. You pass beds of spiky voodoo lilies   and trip over the roots   of a sweet gum tree,   in search of medieval   plants whose leaves,   when they drop off   turn into birds if they fall on land, and colored carp if they   plop into water.

Suddenly the archetypal   human desire for peace   with every other species   wells up in you. The lion  

and the lamb cuddling up. The snake and the snail, kissing. Even the prick of the thistle,   queen of the weeds, revives   your secret belief in perpetual spring, your faith that for every hurt   there is a leaf to cure it.

Todays bird is this Turkey Vulture I saw in my backyard last summer!

(We have a Voodoo Lily, I'm pretty sure the smell is what attracted it.)

Hey does tumblr have an Official Plant because if not I have a submission to make, a very strong contender for this site!

May I present to you the genus: Amorphophallus.

Yes, Amorpho-phallus, literally Greek for the 'shapeless penis' plant.

It's the tallest flower in the world! The magnificent Shapeless Penis, dwarfing grown-ass adults with a flower that grows up to 8.2 feet, is a sight to behold.

It's also called the corpse flower, or corpse bride flower, because this beauty has "a strong odour of rotting human flesh". We love that here on tumblr.

Edit: Just found out that it is also known as the Devil's Tongue and Voodoo Lily or Voodoo Plant. So. Do with that what you will.

The root of some of these Amorphophallic beauties is edible (I've seen them lurking creepily at grocery stores, the grocer usually grabs an axe and slams it into the root to split it and sell a part). This root is known as the elephant foot yam, which is fitting, because it is large, malformed, and disturbingly hairy.

Idk a plant named shapeless penis that has an eight foot flower that smells like rotting human flesh and a hairy edible root that can grow heavier than a toddler seems very on brand for tumblr.

Here you go:

@queermarzipan thank you for inspiring this by teaching me about bell peppers.

[davidbowieswizard]

Mary: If you bite it and you die, it’s poisonous. If it bites you and you die, it’s venomous.

Marlene: What if it bites me and it dies!?

James: Then you’re poisonous. Jesus Christ, Marlene, learn to listen.

Sirius: What if it bites itself and I die?

Remus: That’s voodoo.

Peter: What if it bites me and someone else dies?

Lily: That’s correlation, not causation.

Sirius: What if we bite each other, and neither of us die?

Remus: That’s kinky.

Mary: Oh my God.

[opinated-user]

Funny thing about Lily not doing research… She claimed Alistor having Deer antlers and such is problematic deer imagery. Which antlers by themselves isn’t vindication of anything. It’s just an animal part. Many cultures have demons and such having multiple animal parts. Even an anon asked her “Why is deer imagery appropriation” and Lily responded “It’s not appropriation but it’s a problem.” and didn’t explain.

Like… are you alluding to something specific like wendigos? Explain Lily!

to tell you the absolute truth, i think that LO either has no idea what the issue is either because she just read somewhere it's an issue and ran with it without understanding why or that she misspoke entirely because this woman only does one draft for each script without revising anything and now doesn't want to admit her mistake. i believe those are the most likely explanations for that kind of statement. either way, no, deers imagery is not by itself problematic because it's not particularly emblematic of any culture, closed or otherwise. for what i could see with just an easy google search, deer or antlers being representative of wendigos is a construction originated in fiction created by white authors. if LO said "Alastor is meant to be a w3ndigo and thus associating him with deer antlers on his design is perpetuating the whitewashing of the w3ndigo" thant that is an argument to be made... if you completely ignore that Alastor is never declared to have any relation with w3ndigos specifically. for what i could see, he is just tall, skinny, gangly and have antlers on his full demonic form so (white/non native) people interpret that as w3ndigo-like because, again, that's how they are represented in popular culture. but i couldn't find evidence anywhere that was supposed to be intentional or a thing inside the show. the most i could find is that the creator said he has "w3ndigo themes", which is just entirely confusing because what does that mean? w3ndigo according to whom, the actual original foklore or the whitewished in popular media? is just because of the cannibalism?

at the end of all of this, i just find uncomfortable that LO pretends to want to have a conversation about cultural appropriation around this character and hasn't invited not one person from any of those cultures to share their own perspective. has she actually linked any article of any person talking about this? does she know of anyone with more experience talking about it? i know at some point she talked about "reading books" about voodoo, but that means very little if nothing at all to me without more information. of course not everyone of any culture is going to agree on every issue, but at least show that you actually care to advocate for those groups by giving it's members a chance to speak on their own term rather than have everything filtered through her own white understanding of everything.

at the end of the day we're all a bunch of outsiders.

Demonic Class AU

Please rate. I want to know that I didn't try in vain and it makes sense to make content on this AU.

Main character designs:

Events unfold within the walls of a mysterious school. One day, one of the high school students disappeared, and this event is associated with demons. His younger sister Lily wants to find her brother, her investigations led her to this very school, where she will have to become a new student.

🏵️ Lily 🍩

A new student who is looking for her brother. Her family are demon hunters, but she doesn't want to hunt them herself. She is learning the art of finding a common language with demonic ones, but so far she only has the art of overtaking and driving them away from herself. The blood color is normal.

🪡 Carla 🪛

One of the few students who is not possessed by demons. She stays alone and hates everyone around her. Especially demons. She has perfectly mastered the art of scaring them away. Hates Penny, but is really just afraid of her. She also loves to create Voodoo dolls. They work, just not on a specific victim. She doesn't like to talk about what happened to her eye. The color of blood is green.

🧿 Penny ⚙️

The head of the class and the daughter of the head teacher. Sweet and friendly, but strict. She is suspected of being possessed by demons or having connections with them, but she denies this. However, she does not tell where her red pupil comes from. Tries to make friends with Lily. Perhaps she knows something about her brother. The color of blood is blue.

🎀 Cindy 🌺

The first beauty of the class and the school as a whole. Basically the stereotypical popular girl who loves attention and doesn't like losers, including Lily. In addition, she is possessed by demonic forces and, of course, serves them. He doesn’t know about Lily’s powers and sincerely doesn’t understand why he can’t harm her. The color of blood is pink.

💎 Felix 🥇 and 🐏 Ted 🥈

Twin brothers whose parents sponsor this school. They are both possessed by demonic forces, but only recently, so their abilities are undeveloped. Felix knows how to manipulate Ted. They also both have a crush on Cindy. It's also worth noting that Ted has a horizontal pupil. The color of the blood is blue and unnaturally red, respectively.

📚 Jerome 🪀

Nothing is known about his family, except that he has an older brother. He is a smart student, but most of his time is spent in the library reading books or helping the librarian and students. He also has a key to a secret room, which only he and a few other people have the right to visit. Lily is eager to get there, and she assumes that he knows something about her brother. His connection to demons or ability is unknown. The color of blood is gold.

🩹 Vincent ❔

A student who is usually bullied. He can often be seen next to Jerome, who, however, is also not averse to offending him. Other information about him is unknown, including his involvement with demons. The color of the blood is probably silver.

📼 Billy 🐟

A student who once disappeared. He is Lily's older brother, and when he lived at home, he protected his sister from danger. He's a demon hunter and wanted to teach his sister how to do that. The color of blood is normal.

I don't have my own idea of how to add the rest of the characters here, so I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Bonuses:

Colored version

Originals:

Oddly enough, I once created Carla and Penny, and then I wanted to draw them. Then I decided to try to create Lily and Cindy, and then it kind of went and now I have AU. And the idea to create Vincent came after I couldn't create Billy to like.
