i think it’s fucked up that there are plants that decided they wanted to eat meat

a plant’s job is literally to just exist but the venus flytrap chose violence

what if i gently laid an uncooked steak on the soil for it to absorb

my tree biology teacher fed her calcium-deficient tree a whole-ass bbq rib bone - she stuck it in the ground near the base of the tree (after eating the meat off of it), and when she came back to collect it to show the tree biology class it was GONE

the tree had grown a root up through the center of it & out through the sides

also there’s an old story about a man who was buried beneath a tree, and when they went to exhume the body it had been completely absorbed by the tree’s roots- you could see the shape of the body in the way the roots grew, splitting up for clearly defined arms and legs. trees will absolutely eat a steak if you bury it & they need the nutrients.

that’s horrifying! thank you

It’s not horrifying, it’s the cycle of life! Where the heck do you think those nutrients the plants eat came from? From dead animals, that’s what! Predators hunt their prey, and when they and the scavengers eat their fill, the bones are left there, slowly breaking down into the soil for their nutrients to be consumed by the plants that future prey animals will gladly munch on. Have you truly become so disconnected from the world around you that the idea of being part of something greater, of even death being a part of life?

characters have to be a little bit awful in ways that you cant defend. its good for the ecosystem. your honor he did do that. He did in fact do that
