With vanilla extract being a meme, I wanted to share some black history of Edmond Albius a black slave who revolutionized vanilla pollination.
He used a technique he learned of pollinating melons to polinate the orchids to create the vanilla beans. Vanilla was rare and a luxury mainly due to only being able to be pollinated by its natural pollinator in Mexico.
unfortanely, he didnt receive any money for his discovery despite being called the main man who revolutionized pollination, he died in poverty...
everyone say thank you Edmond

The Masque Of The Mauve Death (8912 words) by FieldofRoses2992
A plague of Possession has hit Middlesea Hospital, afflicting its patients and doctors with a never before seen set of perils to traverse though and undo. Uuuunfortunately, one of the Hospital's main hopes for some return to normalcy is the newest Intern, Marie Sanglante, who would much prefer to just kick up her feet and watch the madness unfold as comfortably as she can while Ian and Ada manage with the worst of the work. (Or, well, mostly Ian)
After all, what's a little plague to someone with control over space and time like her? It's not like she can be affected by it anyways, right?

Hey, is Samantha seeing the certified freak in the painting too, or are our boys just cursed?
"... "Certified Freak"...?"
Samantha raises her gaze, only for her eyes to grow wide and her face to grow pale upon catching sight of something. The boys, confused beyond all merits, turn to look directly behind them...
... and... catch sight of the "freak" you spoke of... It lingers, just long enough for them to see it, to watch the black sludge trickle down its fingers, and then it is gone, vanished back within the painting.
The boys both stare up at where the arm had been, both much too scared and put off to say anything for a good while.
It isn't until Samantha speaks up again that they are broken free from their petrification.
... She, however, proves much less than unhelpful for the current situation, acting as though nothing was there. Nothing had ever been there. Nothing is.
"... But you... you looked terrified..." Joshua managed to say despite how his own body shook. "D... That just happened, we saw you, how can you..." He continued, baffled at the current dismissal.
Above the boys where the hand had been rests nothing more than the painting that had been there prior, as if nothing at all had occurred.
(Hi hi herosplatling-replica is me!I'm trying my darndest to be less shy!!! o7)
I'm really curious about mal's fashion sense, and if that reflects at all in maldroid on quieter night shifts! Additionally can mal feel it when people touch their robot body when it's night? I've got a lot of questions but I'll start w the pressing ones hehehe
Hello! Thanks for reaching out! I know it’s hard sometimes but I love your stuff! Nice profile pic btw.
Anyway, Mal’s fashion is a little all over the place. They love comfortable clothes. Sweatpants and t-shirts are their go-to. They’re down to try anything on though, and get especially adventurous when in their robot body. Being AMAB, they’re usually too nervous of what people might think of them to dress in feminine outfits. As much as they dislike being stuck in the robot half the time, they do like how freeing it is that they can try anything on with no reservations. The only stipulation is that they can’t cover their chest monitor while helping a patient, as that’s where their vitals are displayed. They have a lot of body dysmorphia as a robot, but finally being able to put some clothes on has helped their self esteem a little. They also like to do cosplays and dress ups with the kids.
The silicone and rubber guards around their limbs are detachable, which allows for an easier fit, but leaves more delicate wiring and machinery exposed. Their outsides are waterproof, but their insides sure aren’t.
As for what they can feel, Maldroid 1.0 is limited to sight and sound. Maldroid 2.0 has sight, sound, heartbeat detection, heat vision, night vision, and later on rudimentary sensors for smell, temperature, and touch. Once Ian found out about Mal’s condition he wanted to make sure they were as comfortable as possible. Before it felt like they were floating in nothing. Sensory deprivation. Now though? It’s not perfect, but it’s better.
Pdhdd well would ya look at that, it Joshie!
In the vast world of comics, I wonder if there have been heroes with a “Groundhog Day,” type power. By that I specifically mean a hero who, if they die, immediately finds themselves waking up at the beginning of that day again. If they don’t die, they just continue forward through time.
I’m just thinking of how crazy it would be to have that hero on your super hero team. Like, you go to headquarters in the morning, and it seems like everything’s normal. But then you go to fire off a one liner, and they say it at the same time as you. And suddenly you know. Something went wrong.
And then one day you come in, and your heart drops as you see that their every move looks rehearsed. They answer questions before asked. They are totally aware of everything that’s about to happen. Imagine how scary that would be, realizing you’re starting a day that you’re team mate has failed to survive maybe dozens of times.
why should you change it?
When you guys pop up in our notifications, most seasoned tumblr users will suspect you’re a bot and block on sight.
why do we block immediately?
tumblr has a history of bots trying to infiltrate and establish a connection to a valid, existing blog in order to populate google searches. Simply liking or reblogging a post, not just adding a scam link to it, establishes this connection. Tumblr users don’t want this to happen, especially if it’s a scammy p*rn bot. So, we often block on sight.
So now I have to reblog stuff AND change my pfp?
Well, of course that’s up to you! I just want to explain why you may have been already blocked by an artist/blogger you may have discovered recently, and how you can avoid it in the future.
Reblogging does help creators more than likes because your reblogs will show up on the dash of those that may follow you. Plus, reblogging puts that post on your own blog, and in case the original gets deleted or edited by the OP, it’ll be on your blog like that–forever (or until you delete your blog). Nice.
