I do feel bad for plants in general.
Like, I know they are often as vicious as animals in many ways, just slower.
But, I mean, they just show up and they’re like, “I Think I Will Evolve To Eat The Sun And Also Make Oxygen And How Now Is All This.”
And, like, everything fucking dies at first (totally not plants fault, btw. okay maybe it was but they didn’t mean to) but then new things evolve.
And they’re like, “Fuck it, eating each other suuuucks. Let’s eat the plants which give us life.”
And so we start doing that.
And plants are all, “Oh Dear No, I Do Not Care At All For Being Eaten. I Will Make Myself Into Poison Sometimes.”
But, y’know, stuff kept eating plants anyway so plants, ever the bro, came up with a new idea. “I Have Made A Decision About Being Eaten And You May Eat Me Friends And Here Is An Especially Tasty Bit Packed All Full of Delicious Sugars Which I Have Produced At Great Cost (What They Do Not Know Is That My Seeds Are Within And Shall Be Propagated Near And Far By Their Dung)“
But that’s not good enough for animals, no, not at all.
We love the fuck out of some pomegranates but also alliums which are like, “I Have Not Decided To Go In For This Being Eaten Business. I Shall Be Very Foul Tasting And Also A Poison.”
But no, sorry, onions, you fucked up.
You accidentally wound up with a species that just doesn’t give up or fully comprehend the idea of things tasting “”‘bad’“’ or other concepts like not eating poison. (Sorry, plants, later we turn some of you who are not poison into a poison we consume recreationally. We really enjoy eating poison.) 
Legit, alliums are deadly to, like, every other species.
And we call them aromatics and throw them in everything.
Peppers are the best, though.
They completely got on the being eaten train.
BUT ONLY BIRDS
Peppers are like, “You May Eat Me, Fair Avian, For You Are Sure To Spread Me A Great Distance. But, Mammal, Take HEED. Should You Eat Me Then I Will Burn You Most Terribly.”
And we were all about that.
“The FUCK, burning? I love pain,” said humans, presumably.
“You know, peppers, you and evolution have done a good job at burning us but I am pretty sure we could make your chemical agony even more potent. Come hang with us,” humans added to a very confused pepper just before creating the ghost chili.

@setepenre-set Temptress Roxanne, post-fic, very drunk, to a highly amused Megamind.

Did you just… Evil Monologue to me about the virtues and evolutionary innocence of plants?

“No matter how hard I tried, I was always the odd man out, the last one picked, the screw-up, the black sheep… the bad boy. Was this my destiny?… Wait. Maybe it was! Being bad is the one thing I’m good at! Then it hit me: if I was the bad boy, then I was going to be the baddest boy of them ALL!

so random thought about Roxanne, post-canon.

With Megamind as the new hero, she doesn’t really want to reprise the Damsel role – it was only really fun with him “threatening” her, and if someone else tried it they might *actually* try to threaten her.  So she makes contingency plans, working with the idea that she’ll likely have to work with what she’s wearing (having a de-gun in her purse wouldn’t be too helpful if her purse isn’t there) like having a tracking device concealed in her earrings and heels with a hidden blade like a seatbelt cutter to slice through ropes in seconds.

Idk if you’ve touched on this in the past, as i am a new follower, so feel free to ignore this if it’s redundant. But i think it’s very interesting that, early in the film, Roxanne’s signature color is red and that’s what she usually wears. Halfway through the movie on her date with “Bernard,” she wears a purple dress. And then at the very end, she’s wearing almost the exact same dress but it’s BLUE. Like. She wanted them to match. To tell the world she’s on his side. What a dork.

(I think there is another post around somewhere about the color symbolism of her clothing, but I don’t think it’s one of mine?)

But yes! ISN’T SHE ADORABLE?! I really also love that she’s wearing red in the beginning–not white, like Metro Man, or like a damsel would usually wear. Red. Immediate visual cue that Roxanne is her own, vivid person. And it contrasts with Megamind’s blue uniform in a really interesting, strong way, echoing how she challenges him throughout the kidnapping sequence. (and yet the accents on the red dress are black, serving to unite the two of them, too)

And it’s so satisfying in the end, when she’s wearing blue! Up on the stage with Megamind! In front of everyone! And you know she had to have been thinking about that when she chose that dress to wear.

I also love that her blue dress is the same style as the purple dress–she wore the purple one on their disastrous date, so wearing the blue version of the same dress helps to unite the two scenes, as well as symbolize the way their romantic relationship has healed and progressed.

(Also! the slow change of Roxanne’s clothing to blue in the movie is what inspired her doing the same thing in Code: Safeword!)
