I log in to find out that we’re waging war against denny’s and drawing fanart of wendy’s.

A normal day on Tumblr.com?

  • Me, 5 hours ago and hungry: Oh, I can just eat this snack I bought a while ago. I hope it was stored correctly.
  • Me, now and suffering: IT WASN'T

I will spend like 10 minutes writing some thoughtful and introspective post about current events, then hesitate publishing it, and then inevitably scrap it.

Meanwhile, I will shitpost about being a plant in a heartbeat.

Draw yourself hitting the bong man. 420 blaze it

A little late, but whatever. As a plant, I do not smoke other plants thank you

Oh god I didn’t realize I got so many requests and messages I’m sorry haven’t gotten to them yet ;2;

Tell me to draw something (aside from the things I’m contractually obligated to draw already, such as commission and blog work).

How do plants fend off predators?

Asked by Anonymous

It varies, from pointy spines to poisonous oils to gross fruits and so forth! Animals can’t eat us if it hurts!

Many plants give up on defense and instead focus on being everywhere and overrunning everything. Strength in numbers!

Some are just impossible to bite into! Ever see a deer eat a tree? Nope!

Some eat bugs! It’s gross and unnatural, but it happens!

The spines are extremely pointy to dissuade potential attackers and door-to-door salesmen! If you must approach a cactus, please state your business and avoid physical contact!
