Rain World Art Month, Day 3: Pole Plants

Another speculative biology diagram! This time for the beloathed pole plant...

Today I wrote a bit of a thing about my thoughts making this:

I've always sorta wondered what was beneath the surface and what the rest of the pole plant looked like. First of all, I firmly hold the belief (or rather, headcanon) that it is not actually a "plant" at all (to the extent that irl taxonomy can be applied to RW creatures in the first place). Aggrevated pole plants move too deliberately for it's grasping behaviour to be a venus fly trap-like reflex, especially since they can get "annoyed" at you for throwing rocks at them.

With the idea of it being some sort of weird stationary pseudo-animal, like a sea anemone or sponge, I started drawing and ended up with this beetroot looking guy! I also rlly wanted it to have an asymmetrical body plan...

Most of its body is dedicated to digesting prey, with its most prominent features (aside from its "tongue") being a sphincter-mouth that can open to swallow larger animals (like lizards), a large acid-filled digestive basin, an enlarged enzymic gland and an anus. During rainless periods, it extends its pole-like "tongue" in hopes that passing creatures will attempt to climb or otherwise grab onto it. Once this happens, it grasps and constricts its prey and pulls it into its mouth, where it chokes the creature to death. The rest of the cycle is then spent slowly digesting the creature, and once this is done and the rain has begun to fall, it opens its mouth and anus and lets the rain water flush any leftover bones and carapace that it could not digest out of its body and down through the pipe that the pole plant is situated within. Such is the wonderous life of a pole plant (I imagine). Ty for reading my silly lil thoughts if u did...

Living inferno

when talking about AI remember the different versions:

Analytical AI, is the one that can detect cancer and save lives

Generative AI is the one that steals art to make it worse, and gives you a wrong answer every time you google something

Weird Al is the one who got his ponysona to canonically have children with a pony from my little pony

we're all gonna make it!

every time I do a web search, right at the top I have AI info dumping on me

just give me the top result please

On the train ride home today i got to pet a kitten and the train conductor was visibly confused about my gender. Fuck yes
