To ensure usability over time, consider adding some organic matter while tilling the surface of your clay-like soil. Introduction of multiple size particles will help with more diverse pore diameter, and improve the flow of fluids and nutrients.

In this example with @lillieeatssouls (Part 3 of 4) we are using jute rope as some additional organic material for providing some much needed nourishment to the initial batch of sprouts.

When transplanting sprouts from your nursery, I recommend staying near the areas where you have already added the extra material. This is to ensure access to nutrients, and gives the soil purpose via incorporating it structurally.

It's well known how one is meant to use the darkness of a new moon to seed their intentions. When appropriately nourished, and maintained, the results may be harvested during subsequent full moons. It is still important to find a patch of soil in the aether that will be a good fit for your seeds.

You might already be familiar with some potential areas (https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114587038876051028) and subsequent blooms in #ContemplatingPupation but I would recommend being prepared for more scenarios as well. Here's an example of something to keep in mind if you find a great location, but certain soil qualities appear to be... lacking.

If you squeeze some soil in your hand and it forms a ribbon without breaking, you are likely dealing with a clay that is too wet. Yes, it's very moldable, easy to shape, etc. This is a good quality sometimes, like when you want a pliable plaything that can withstand all sorts of twisted pressure.

However, clay tends to have some issues with water flow. It is harder for water and nutrients to move through clay with its tiny pores. To make this impressionable soil actually useful for growth purposes, we'll need to make it crumble.

First, we need to ensure that it's not too wet. If it forms that elastic ribbon, then it's too wet, too pliable, and will just leave you with a sopping mess. If it falls apart under pressure, then it is something we can enrich, and reconstruct.

There are several ways to accomplish this goal, and it's best to experiment to find out which one works best for the soil you have. Sometimes simply exposing it to heat and maybe roughing up the surface is enough. Other times you might need to add some suction.

Here is an example featuring @lillieeatssouls (Part 1 of 4)

@MelkyWay
Yes!   Thank you!

The very first post in this #ContemplatingPupation series was a couple of mushrooms that made it look like I had antennae and then they developed googly eyes. If it's some form of cordyceps, this must be what happens when the growth medium is a very gay wild magic condensate.   

*takes notes as rapidly as possible*

This is some #GoodBadScience

Despite sporulating many of these at #Blissfest2025 I seem to be still, at some level, #ContemplatingPupation and have no choice but to let the new life forms join the swarm of living organisms that form myself. They help ensure that I always have a wide spectrum of colors and diversity of being, especially on Whimsday

Am I gaining xp towards a dryad skill tree? What normally happens when a wild magic condensate spends extra time in nature? So many questions to contemplate...

Also, a shout out to @Trey who helped me break past my analysis paralysis to picking out the shots I should post here.  And one to @SaucySwampHag for the gift of #Whimsday 

Last weekend at #Blissfest some of my pupation growths seemed to sporulate and implant several other entities in and around the forest. One such entity was @lucidmachine whom we dubbed "Major Hotmadod".

For additional context, our camp name was "Camp Hotmadod" because we like snails, hedgehogs, armadillos, etc.

Pictured here is Major Hotmadod doing his best to contain the sheer energy wanting to burst from his ~~lips~~ system.

I just keep finding new specimens everywhere. I suppose biodiversity is a good thing. At least some of them grow eyes and seem to be able to track novel things happening. I'm not really sure what I'm pupating into? But I feel a duty to see it through. For science!   

And also to figure out how to not harm my friends with pollen allergies. That's important to me.

Also, I hit my character limit with the alt text so here's the first part of it:

A mirror selfie of this enby wearing a cropped tank. You can see one part of their torso tattoo and some of the features of their arm tattoo. They're wearing their non-binary pendant as well as a necklace with a hoop supporting various short dangling chains that end in a sharp point. Their curly hair has deteriorated to waves as new plants and fungi have grown in.

The glow-in-the-dark blue duck is on their right side now, supervised by a non-googly-eyed toadstool. There are two additional toadstools with googly eyes looking at the viewer on either side of the brunette haired head. You see a pink clover on one side and a spring beauty on the other. In the center there is a daisy facing forward-ish, and a pink and blue leafed plant with googly eyes also staring into the soul of the viewer. A new addition is a pink-capped toadstool emerging sideways from underneath the hair around temple height.

Behind their shoulder, on the right of the frame, you see fronds of a blue and pink plant of some sort growing into view. Lower on the collar of the top is a plant with small green leaves and a bulbous fruit of an orange-red coloration. It looks like it might burst with fire if shit with an arrow. A red and yellow leafed plant is emerging from the upper part of the breast from behind their top. It has gained a googly eye on one of the leaves that is now trained on the viewer. Immediately above this is a new plant emerging. Its leaves turn white as the tip of the stem ends in a daffodil-like pattern.
