say it with me: deserts aren't inherently bad. deserts are very important and are home to many ecosystems. you want an unhealthy, over-exploited desert to become a healthy, thriving desert. you don't want an unhealthy, over-exploited desert to become a forest. deserts and forests are distinct, separate biomes that are both indispensable. you want to see them both at their best. and a desert at its best doesn't look like a forest at its best. they're each beautiful in their own way.

what I love about those timid handwringing “am I allowed to breathe air???” types is sometimes a miracle will happen and something in their brains will snap and you can watch them kill the hall monitor in their heads with a shovel
there's a variation of coral stem called "CoralStemWithNeurons" which as the name implies is a bundle of coral neurons attached to a single coral stem to me this implies the coral neurons (red) grow out of coral stems (the segmented axon looking one) to later detach and reallocate to where it's needed
I've known about this for a while and I've been meaning to make a post on it but i've not had time to draw the diagrams i want to draw for it; so here's a quick post with screenshots so I can reference it later

How do you think the rot lizards came to be? /genq
Rot uses existing lizards as hosts, creating the partially infected lizards that still have the uniquely colored heads. These probably work in a commensalism fashion, with the rot keeping the lizard body intact, but also using it primarily to protect itself and get more food this way.
The rot gains from the relationship, but the lizard doesn't gain or lose anything really
After absorbing so much information about lizards, eventually the rot starts to make its OWN version that sprout from cysts, and create the "fully infected" lizards
I believe this primarily because rot loaches have an entirely separate code and are a different creature from typical loaches, and spawn in a place they hadn't before, making me believe that this can happen to other creatures as well
