So one of my co-counselors at a middle/elementary school camp I’m working for has a SUPER cool necklace that incites a conversation with nearly every person he meets.

“Is that real?!”

“How do you water it?”

“Where’d you get it?”

And I figured this company could use the advertisement boost it deserves among Tumblr bloggers who seem to adore small plants.

CHECK OUT THESE COOL LITTLE DUDES: 

image

They would make a super awesome gift!!

image

They’re surprisingly inexpensive; only $4.99 each!!

image

You only need to water them around once a month!!

image

And watering them is super easy; you just submerge them in a shallow layer of water for a minute or two!! You don’t even have to remove the capsule!!

image

Just look at how adorable they are!!

image

These are the actual size measurements of the capsules: 

Height – 1.5 in  (4 cm)

Width – 0.23 in  (17 mm)
image

So you can carry one with you wherever you go!!

image

They can live within the capsules from 3-18 months depending on the plant and care provided.

image

Once they grow big enough to leave the capsule, you can move them into these really cute pots sold by the same company (you can find pictures in the link below).

image

There’s actually no reason why you shouldn’t buy like 5 dozen of these babies.

image

You can attach them to your bag, or to your phone as a charm

image

or you could make a necklace out of them like my co-counselor did!

image

DON’T RESIST THEIR ADORABLENESS AND YOUR TEMPTATION TO PURCHASE ONE (OR TWO OR THREE)!

image

^I think I might get this one for myself!

image

TLDR; THEY’RE SUPER INEXPENSIVE, EASY TO CARE FOR, AND THEY MAKE A FABULOUS GIFT FOR ANY OCCASION!

Theory:

Peter Quill actually only had trouble holding the infinity stone because he’s half Terran.

A fully human Terran would have done much better.

I mean, Jane Foster had the aether inside of her in Thor 2, and that seemed pretty potent (and potentially could have been another infinity stone, besides).

In fact, considering all of the mutants and badassery and whatnot that abounds in the Marvel universe, and the heavy-hitters Terrans can produce with just a little genetic tweaking or gamma radiation, it’s possible that Asgard took to ‘safeguarding’ Midgard in the first place because Odin figured out that the natives are scary as balls.

Maybe during the war with the frost giants, certain humans started manifesting strange/special abilities to deal with the threat, and Asgard’s scientists/wizards/etc figured out that the poor puny Midgardians were like a sleeping monster, and the aggression of the frost giants was ‘waking them up’.

So Odin stepped in to stop them and to try and keep people from interfering with Midgard as much as possible, so the monster would stay sleeping.

Which is actually part of why he is so very pissed off at Loki for the events of Avengers, and at Thor for bringing Jane to Asgard – it’s a very, very tight secret that Midgard is a powder keg full of potential super-warriors, and Odin does not want that getting out, and he does not want them getting out. If Earth can stay as a nice, quiet, backwater planet with very little contact with the larger universe, that’s safer for everyone involved.
