...Maybe this isn't going to go *that* much more differently than the other stories. I don't know how I feel about this. I really, really don't like being yelled at, so maybe I'm biased, but Andoa here...when we say "predatory", it isn't usually as a compliment.

“You’re stars-damned right it’s unacceptable!” Nell shouted. “We came here to negotiate in good faith, and you pull this bullshit? My first evaluation of you was exactly right: you might be technologically advanced, but socially you’re nothing but backwards imperialists who’ll do anything to turn us all into a bunch of wormheads!”

It was obvious even to Tsuga that Nell knew she’d made a terrible mistake, her posture shifting almost instantly from blustering facade to shivering fear as every Affini in the room turned their full attention to her. As a rule, Tsuga did not outwardly display their emotions, but they were standing before they knew what they were doing. Polyphylla had flowed to her feet as well, every leaf on end and seeming to vibrate with fury, and while Pisca had remained sitting, every single one of her needles was flattened against her bark in dismay and anger. All four Affini stared down at the little terran for a long moment, but it was Andoa who spoke first, eir voic
“Good,” Andoa said, rising once again. “If you misbehave, I will hear of it.” As eir form slackened and rewove itself, Tsuga glimpsed something else hiding beneath the ire and righteous indignation of an Affini defending florets. All six of eir eyes were focused intently on Nell, as if drinking down every detail about her, filled with the predatory urge to take, to shape, to care for. Nell was certainly in no position to see it – perhaps Polyphylla and Pisca hadn’t even noticed, and the other terrans certainly wouldn’t – but it was a look Tsuga had seen countless times in other Affini over her long life, a look that said I want you, and I will have you.

“Stop looking at her,” Cass said, pulling Nell away from Andoa and covering her eyes. “My colleagues and I need time to confer before we go any further with this.”

Some neat little fungi friends from our yard! I don't know anything about mushrooms so I have absolutely no idea which kind they might be, but I thought they were cute 🍄 #mycology

A close up image of a brown mushroom amongst some green grass and fallen brown leaves. This mushroom has some slightly wavy edges, and the center is starting to form a small pool of water.
This mushroom is small and round, but not domed. It almost looks like someone took a ball of cookie dough and then flattened it into a disk shape.
Another brown mushroom, but this one has a much more pronounced bowl. The ruffly edges surround a cup, and a small hole in one of the sides allows a single blade of grass to peek through.

Reskeet with something you own that most people don't. A cocoon from a Polyphemus Moth that decided to emerge in my bedroom. I thought the puppa inside was dead, so that was a surprise...

If you feel like you are too online I highly recommend to touch dough and make like 60 dumplings at midnight

A photo showing a kitchen table full of utensils for making german ravioli. On top you can see a blue bowl with meat and spinache filling, on the side you have dough and a few spoons and forks. In the lower halfe there is an unfinished ravioli circle with filling that is about to be folded

You can see dough thats already flattened and seperated into little dough circles for further german ravioli production
