You Should Listen To Sherlock & Co...... Unless......you Listen Already....?

Hello, everybody. Thanks for coming. I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. And I'd like to say a few words, if you please. Regarding the story that you're about to see it actually happened. Just take it from me. But there's more to this story than what's on the page, so please pay attention while I set the stage. We open in Thneedville, a city they say that was plastic and fake, and they liked it that way! A town without nature, not one living tree. So, what happened to them? Cue the music! Let's see. Buzz. Buzz. In Thneedville, it's a brand new dawn With brand new cars and houses and lawns Here in Got-all-that-we-need-ville In Thneedville, we manufacture our trees Each one is made in factories And uses 96 batteries In Thneedville, the air's not so clean So we buy it fresh It comes out this machine! In Satisfaction's- guaranteed-ville In Thneedville, we don't want to know Where the smog and trash and chemicals go I just went swimming, and now I glow In Thneedville, we have fun year round We surf and snowboard right in town We thank the Lord for all we've got Including this brand new parking lot! Parking lot! Oh, look, it's Aloysius O'Hare Aloysius O'Hare The man who found a way to sell air And became a zillionaire Hip-hip-hooray! In Thneedville, we love living this way It's like living in paradise It's perfect! And that's how it will stay Oh, yeah! Here in Love-the-life-we-lead-ville Destined-to-succeed-ville We-are-all-agreed-ville We love it here in... Thneedville! Yes! Oh, hi, Ted. Oh, hey, Audrey. Hi. Did your ball land in my backyard again? What? No. A model airplane, this time. Hey, do you want to see something cool? Come on. Whoa! Did you... Did you paint this? Do you like it? What? Are you kidding? This is amazing! What are those? Those are trees. Real ones. They used to grow all around here. And people said that the touch of their tufts was softer than anything, even silk. And they smelled like butterfly milk! Wow! What does that even mean? I know, right? Oh, yeah. What I want more than anything in the whole world is to see a real living tree growing in my backyard. So if, say... I'm just thinking out loud here. If a guy somehow got you one... I'd probably marry him on the spot. I bet that sounds crazy. Does that sound crazy? No! Not crazy. Not crazy at all. Ted, honey, don't play with your food. You, either, Mom. So, Mom, do you happen to know if there's any place where I could get a real tree? Ted, we already have a tree. It's the latest model. Yeah, but I mean a real one that grows out of the ground or whatever. You know, a real tree. Really? You would rather have some dirty, messy lump of wood that just sticks out of the ground? And it does what? I don't even know what it does. What's its purpose? Look at what we've got. It's the Oak-amatic. The only tree with its own remote. Summer, autumn, winter, and disco! Mom? Come on, Ted. Get into it. Dance with the tree. Oh, it hurts, Mom. Please stop. So, anyway... Let's just say I need a tree. Where would I go? What do I do? Then you know what? You need to find the Once-ler. The what? Mom, it's not really the time for one of your magical fables, okay? That's right, I forgot. I'm old and can't even remember to put my teeth in. Stand down. That's not what I meant. No, really, I forgot my teeth. Would you be a dear and go get them for me? Sure, Mom. Okay, here's the deal. The Once-ler is the man who knows what happened to the trees. You want one, you need to find him. The Once-ler? Mmm-hmm. Okay. Grammy, is this a real thing that we're talking about now? Oh, he's real all right. Well, where can I find him? Far outside of town where the grass never grows and the wind smells slow and sour when it blows. And no birds ever sing, excepting old crows. Quit doing that. That's the place where the Once-ler lives. Wait, outside of town? People used to say if you brought him 15 cents, a nail and the shell of a great, great, great grandfather snail, he would tell you everything. Hmm. Mr. O'Hare, what we've got for you is something that is going to take O'Hare Air to the next lev

I fear you too late anon, I already have the entire Lorax script downloaded as a PDF on my school account that I used to distribute to anyone back in the day for those willing to pay the price.

I need to start documenting which asks I send you because I don't know if that sloob goober was actually me or not

(- original anon, the forgetful bastard)

Art thou not signing off all your asks as original anon?

So.... Phillipines?

It is humid so bless my eczema to the stars and back.

Also homesickness goes hard here, it feels like such an extreme intensity of both depression and anxiety slammed into one.

Good news is that although my contract says I am to work/volunteer between 8am-5pm, no one is really allowed to do much with how strong the sun is (with some exceptions) until 4pm, so really I get to sleep until 4 which helps me feel less homesick.

WHY ARE YOU GETTING SO MANY ANONS

THAT MLEM WAS NOT ME

(- original anon)

Dear original anon,

It appears that we have an imposter among our midst. I am shivering in me timbers as we speak, I fear!

You should watch the academy of magic

And ratatoing

(- original anon)

Hmm, perhaps I shall!

Thank you, dearest anon!

Also as per your previous reaction to my intrusion, yes, i am ready for punishment

- Cheese-munching anon

Into the soup you go.

Bone apple teeth!

So true!

Say it with me "I am valid"

Tumblr asks are so incredible what does this even mean

Is this because it is pride month or.

Yes I am but I'm also so incredibly forgetful and that "Sloob goober" ask was so out of character that I'm not sure if it was actually me

I am now keeping records of the asks I send you.

(-Original anon)

I wish thou the very best of luck in regards to this new archive!

Scuttling across the stage to a microphone, a rather petite demon with attributes alike to a mouse lemur now stands up on his two hind legs.

He taps the microphone with an uncertain end of a claw.

Hello, hello all!

This certainly is a rather late . . introduction post considering my lurkings amongst this site have been for quite the while- so, eh, hello?

Oh! Oh, right- I already said that. Maybe instead I'll- no, no, wait a second- I know I prepared some prompts . .

-

With a nervous, tiny smile, the demon digs about into the confines of his rather large scarf wrapped about his neck, before holding a selection of flashcards out in front.

-

Right, right. I ought to begin with some of the basics.

My full name is Mirabilis Morningstar - yes another Morningstar kid - but I do prefer just Mira. Fairly obvious to state that my parents are @morningbloodystar and @chloe-decker-lapd.

And, eh, really just another citizen of Downstairs. But like I said earlier, my tendencies to lurk about means I am a tad bit new to this all + interacting as a whole.

Please bear that in mind! After all, I am but a humble, solitary little fellow. Nonetheless, I am always down for interactions forward.

Maybe this is a good time to get into the FAQs:

-

Timezone?:

PST (UTC + 8:00).

Interests?:

Cannibalism, mostly. Are you aware that there have been reports on actual mouse lemurs cannibalising each other? How interesting! I like torta and tortellini as well.

Big fan of D&D, Star Wars and The Phantom of the Opera - those are the main special interests. Oh, and the rest of the stuff under my profile picture.

Music?:

Yes! Music is a big part of everything for me. My upmost beloveds go to The Crane Wives, Angus & Julia Stone, Tracy Chapman, Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse, Mitski, Ghost, Yaelokre + Noah Kahan.

Also, I play the acoustic guitar (self taught).

Games?:

I am currently playing S.W: The Old Republic. And favourites include Skyrim, L.I.S, Subnautica, Jedi: Fallen Order + B.G III.

Books?:

I am currently reading the Dune trilogy and Careless To Let It Fall (by Artemisdesari on AO3). Some favourites include the Earthsea books, the Hannibal series and Passerine (by Thcscus on AO3).

Additionals?:

Autistic. Also MDD + GAD. Also on the OCD spectrum. Also IBS. Also eczema. Also chronically recovering anorexic (a.k.a ana accounts PLEASE fuck off, couldn't care less if you're pro-recovery).

Possibly an SzPD haver.

Transgender. Also queer in general, and most definitely on the aromantic and asexual spectrum.

-

Gosh, I do worry this is getting quite long of an introduction post but, eh, perhaps I will now bid you all a cheerful farewell - looking forward to meeting all of you.

-

Once tucking the crumpled piece of paper away, the little demon does one last awkward wave before scampering off to the side of the stage.

Heebies your jeebies

Ermh, watch your manners, original anon!

We do not use such blasphemous language in this household!
