Quietly in the night, you are handed the Tree Ray.

@sinituulia @afewbugs Ok, that was an off the top of my head response. The more time I have to think about this, the more I find. I may need to make a list.....
@GinevraCat @sinituulia I reckon I could make a pretty decent start on defusing the current Middle East crisis for starters

@afewbugs @sinituulia Right!?!

Quietly in the night, you are handed the Tree Ray. It does one thing and only one thing, and that is turning people into trees. Anyone at all you fire it at? Instantly a tree. A nice, healthy, lush tree with a sturdy root system, multiple symbiotic species in, on and around it, just doing its tree best. Probably attracting a bunch of birds, too.
...How careful are you to tree people up?
@sinituulia Bless you and thank you for finding a prosocial version of the "How many bullets?" game.

@afewbugs @sinituulia Right!?!
@GinevraCat @afewbugs @sinituulia I have this theory that more problems than we think are caused by much fewer people than we fear and I am ready to test it with reforestation.
(ETA: Sorry, I also on reflection feel like I should say that yup, I'm aware how close that treads to some very real ethical lines and have no plans on going full ecofascist. Just: real frustrated and scared this week. Carry on.)

@lnr That's a more ethical stance than mine, for sure! If someone is causing untold damage to all of humanity, a bunch of nature and probably the entire planet just via being evil? Sorry, no, your human privileges are now revoked! You get to live in a way that causes no one else any harm!
@sinituulia It's honestly very very tempting. But I don't think I could face the responsibility of getting it wrong. Or their loved ones being mad at me.

@sinituulia not everybody deserves to be a tree tho...

@sinituulia me. Being a tree sounds amazing, really. No taxes, no joints. I'm totally in. I'd ask around if others want in, too, but I'm definitely treeing myself.

@sinituulia on which note: terminally ill and would actually rather stay alive as a person but just can't afford proper care: fund proper care! (I wish I could make this happen!)

@sinituulia should come in a set including a chainsaw. Would be creepy if some years later someone made my coffin out of the wood of the most hated treed people.

@leahbobet @afewbugs @sinituulia Hearing you.

@leahbobet @afewbugs @sinituulia Hearing you.
@GinevraCat @afewbugs @sinituulia Thanks. Appreciate it lots.
-
@leahbobet @afewbugs @sinituulia Hearing you.
@GinevraCat @leahbobet @sinituulia yeah, I feel that
-
@afewbugs I figure as long as it would be completely clear who you're locked on, even remotely would work?
@sinituulia @afewbugs remotely, you say? this changes everything. maybe there's a list now...
-
@sinituulia Bless you and thank you for finding a prosocial version of the "How many bullets?" game.
@leahbobet I'm really very much not a fan of violence of any kind, but a core part of me deeply enjoys different forms of fey-adjacent poetic justice and reincarnation still within the wheel of life...

@sinituulia @onepict my list starts with a lot of folks currently in political office, and many very wealthy people. And we'll see about who inherits that wealth and their positions. Also ceos and board members of all the corporate interests messing up and not substantially remediating the global environment. As trees they could do the world more good.

@sinituulia Oh this question is SO personal and I am READY. I’d leave the bigger ethical tree ray questions to others, and stick to my area of expertise.
I would be a vengeance spirit waiting to cross paths with one entity as my target: Apollo. Pew pew fucker.
