Hey there! I'm Asher, though you can call me Ash if it's easier. (I also like the name Andrew.) I'm an introject of the Guide from Terraria, as you could probably guess. Not that it means much since he has maybe 2% of a personality lol
I use it/its and he/him pronouns, though I'm fine with they/them as well. I am agender and pretty lax on pronouns, much like Archie, though I prefer gender-neutral terms.

I took the background right from terraria.wiki.gg, so obviously, all credit goes to ReLogic.

Simon and I are both interested in science in a general sense, as well as history, mythology, and the magic of this world. We both enjoy researching pretty much anything, though he is particularly drawn to subjects like archeology, anthropology, the Victorian Era, human sexuality, and more relating to culture and human societies, I prefer to look at the natural world through fields like botany, ecology, biology, geology, and more. Neither of us are professionals in any sense—we're collectively studying art, not science—but we do find it fun to learn about these different topics!
Him and I will be sharing my page to catalogue all the random stuff we come across that we wish to record, since he's using his own more as a personal log for books and whatnot.

Caulophyllum thalictroides

Caulophyllum thalictroides, known commonly as Blue Cohosh, Papoose Root, or Squaw Root, is a perennial herb and member of the Barberry family (Berberidaceae) found in the east of North America. Its "fruit-like seeds" (ncsu.edu) are blue in color, looking similar to bluberries in their size at maturity (at least to me when I first saw them,) and attract birds and small mammals, but are mildly toxic to humans. Ingesting them or the roots of the plant can cause vomiting and diarhhea, or high blood pressure and other poisoning symptoms in high doses. The yellow-green flowers bloom in spring, and their pseudo-berries ripen in fall. Blue Cohosh tends to grow in deciduous and mixed forests in 3a–8b hardiness zones, preferring organic soil, silt, and sand, and deep or partial shade.
