Y’know what this reminds me of? The song Two Of A Kind by GHOST. Suddenly everything was different when I realized that and I just-

Of course I’d half-ass having my damn personality.

Nice. Thanks for the go-ahead, @raccooninthedaytime

Let’s talk about mimosa pudica, otherwise known as makahiya to all my Filipino friends.

The story of makahiya is actually one of my faves, mainly because I miss the good ol’ days where the stories actually had some karmic justice done.

So we start off on the forest floor something-hundred years ago like always. Right now, makahiya is a well-beloved yet vain plant. They had flowers and a nice smell.

Sugar cane, tubo, was just cane, they didn’t have any sweetness and was just kind of there. Just existing.

Firefly, alitaptap, had no light. They were just existing too.

Ant, langam, was still a hard worker with no regard for their own safety.

And the diwata, divine arbiter spirits, were still amongst us.

Gotta love how the Filipino myth-makers really multitasked with this story. Like, 3 origin stories crammed together? Dang. J.K Rowling could never.

So it’s raining and our friend ant is dragging home his rice that he found. And since he has no sense of self-preservation, he gets caught up in the flood and is literally drowning for a grain of rice.

They pass by makahiya. Ant asks makahiya to help them, or at least let them cling to their stems until the water went down. Makahiya basically told ant to get fucked and shook them off back into the storm.

This is the modern equivalent of someone going to their friend’s for help, getting shot in the kneecaps, then dumped in a burning ditch on the side of the road.

...

Ok, I retract what I said earlier. Makahiya was kind of a dick.

Anyways.

While this happens, firefly passes by and sees the exchange. Firefly feels bad, and runs to their friend sugar cane for help. Sugar cane lends firefly a leaf, which firefly then drags to the drowning ant, saving their life.

Little did everyone in this story thus far know that the forest god, the diwata Maria-Clara, was watching. As she usually is.

She goes to reward sugar cane and firefly, giving sugar cane sweetness so that people loved them and firefly her lantern so they could help more people. And then she went after makahiya.

If you’ve read stories involving Maria-Clara before, you know she don’t mess around. She don’t play. She goes straight for your damn eyes.

Basically, she gave makahiya social anxiety, no reason to live, and pretty much eternal damnation of a sort.

So that’s why when you touch the mimosa pudica, it folds in half like a lawn chair.

@biggest-gaudiest-patronuses Well, I guess you could use them as ornaments/jewelry to float about in your putty-like being instead of eating them. They are absurdly colourful and would go well with your Pepto-Bismol pink.

the jelly bean company is raffling off an entire candy factory, willy wonka golden ticket style, and that is still not enough of an incentive to convince me jelly beans belong anywhere but the grave

I’ll be back, just wait, I’ll have it done eventually I swear-

My ideal no-notebooks fluff-only Death Note AU is like… The jewel in the Tokyo PD’s crown, almost completely dead-inside genius detective Light Yagami, meets the mysterious freelance detective L on the job the first time a case tricky enough to outlast each party’s tendency to solve crimes before the other one can hear about them crops up. They take a personal interest in each other because you gotta and we start in on a very standard romance meet cute plot with L slowly melting this frosty perfect ice queen’s hard outer shell, except that instead of being soft and vulnerable on the inside Light’s shell conceals a misanthrope with delusions of grandeur and general raging asshole who would sell anybody but his immediate family to the devil for a warm chicken salad sandwich. Everyone else is like “…Please put it back,” but L is proudly watching the proceedings while going, “He’ll never achieve self actualization if he doesn’t embrace his sociopathy. It’s good to be yourself.” Naturally, L is humanized in time with this via transitioning from a fancy letter and messages to a voice to a (**big reveal**) person. After Light embracing his true self proves to involve wrapping the case with some technically legal but morally extremely questionable actions he gets disowned/disowns himself and they run away together to a neutrally located non-Japan non-England country to live on the top level of an unnecessarily large building that they own and set up there as detective partners. All their clients like Light best at first because he’s hot and knows how to be charming and otherwise use his face for something besides creepy staring, then eventually gravitate to L when they realize that Light is a habitual liar who cackles maniacally as a hobby and L actually believes in the innate value of human life. Neither ever fully grows out of seeing the other as their pet weirdo. They solve 7000 crimes and eventually die middle aged in a shootout. They arranged for this to domino effect to that case being wrapped up even in the event of their untimely demise beforehand. Everybody expects it to come out that they were secretly married in the following legal proceedings but what’s actually revealed is that L has already been legally dead for 12 years.
