broke: human oc

woke: plant species oc 

It’s kind of a Mary Sue but my plant oc is a succulent that evolved to be symbiotic with a methanogenic bacteria and their seed pods ended up just being a big ol’ sphere full of methane floating through the clouds eventually popping to disperse large seeds down to the ground where they grow half-buried like lithops and eventually flower and produce seed pods that break off and repeat the cycle.

that is not a mary sue thats a carefully crafted fictional plant species with basis in modern botany………i love it 

dude the carnivorous plant darlingtonia has a species of symbiotic bacteria in its roots that are innately there when the plant reproduces and help it with essential metabolic functions, but the catch is that the bacteria die if they get too hot so people that cultivate it have to grow it with its roots in cold running water to keep the bacteria happy. its something directly out of a dnd campaign. a succulent species in a symbiotc relationship with a methanogenic bacteria species that makes seeds float away…..sounds just like smth evolution would make
