A pumpkin, from a botanist‘s perspective, is a fruit because it’s a product of the seed-bearing structure of flowering plants. Vegetables, on the other hand, are the edible portion of plants such as leaves, stems, roots, bullbs, flowers, and tubers.
essentially, the term vegetable is a *culinary* term for edible plants/parts of edible plants fruit, berry, etc are *botany* terms for various types and parts of plants whether edible or not. example: the fruits of poisonous plants are still called fruits even though they are not edible! or, at least, not edible more than once 😬
Shoebills are actually quite sweet. Even completely wild shoebills will let people get extremely close to them while nesting, when birds are normally the most protective and aggressive. Shoebills that are used to people will do a sort of welcome bow to show they want to be friendly, and enjoy being petted. Compare that with a bird we normally think of as beautiful, like a swan. Swans will just straight up murder people.
honestly, wirt was in the wrong for blaming the whole situation on greg but he's right to try and get greg to take the situation more seriously. as the older brother in a dangerous situation he has a duty to keep his bro safe, but he's still a kid so there's no way he can do everything on his own. he just needs to learn how to get greg to focus up without blaming him for things going wrong all the time.
we watched this for ELA at school because we have a really cool teacher and the depth in this is show is insane when you actually think about it and talk it through with others everything in this show means something and it’s so cool!! that’s why this is an award winning show !!!
Bruh I was literally thinking the other day “man I wish Scoot was reacting to Over the Garden Wall, that would be perfect for Halloween” and he delivers 🙌👑
I like the series because of all the references to different types of old animation and American folklore. People like to focus on the purgatory thing and Dantes inferno references but I like it more as it’s own thing that draws from a lot of different inspirations.
I love this show. It feels like a dream and things are whimsical but for the chars themselves, they all chase their own believed lies. I was fascinated
about the two cents to ride the ferry i suspect it's an allusion to the ferryman of the river styx. To pay the ferryman you needed an obol, a particular silver coin, which would be placed under the tongue, so that they could travel to the land of the dead. In contemporary media it's often replaced with a pair of coins on the eyes.
I’ve always loved this series.I can write a book about how excellently made this series is. Its Appalachian and terrifyingly accurate. The history from pre colonial era - 1980’s modern era. (Based off of Pennsylvania it was the golden film industry state the arts/film/cinematography have deep roots) Wirt is a music nerd and this series reflects that: after the frogs traditional play theatrical intro: you start the series off with Shape Note singing. Potsfield - based off of ‘potter’s fields’ From there the music which was established by Catholics would be taught in early colonial schools- maybe reading and stone writing alongside how to do work/labors with family members on farms/in the homestead. We know this is colonial era because of what foods they are eating/how everything is built and structured it’s barns, wood logs boards and nails maybe stone walls. From there they go into an actual school after the colonial era there’s chalk boards and educational lessons. The kid characters can’t actually be kids because of 1920s freedom of art and expression and restrictions and guidelines like Hayes codes. the food no corn no pumpkins it’s potatoes and molasses (famine imports/1920-1930s) also there’s so many references to early film/theatrical plays: Oklahoma vibes meets King Kong and oooh the Husband off to [war] manly duties of which the woman feels beside herself in longing and sadness waiting for the great return. The cabin in the woods owned by Beatrice’s family is a water wheel farm where they clean and wash potatoes/clothes. The woodsman uses it as a grinding tool since his experience with mills would have been flour mills and apparently wood either tapping for sap/ drying and processing for oils. He leaves the sticks in bundles to dry for firing there’s knowledge of processes there. You have the bar with all the towns folk who want to utilize every buisness and exchange wealth amongst everyone in ways of celebration and tradition but the distinct lack of financing for each individual with this demands their specifications (they all do a specific job and are the best at it and or the only one in the town who’s family does that work they are skilled laborers and when there’s an event they all want to participate and be properly paid, the only one who’s exempt is the highway man who robs everyone rich or poor regardless who they are it’s a matter of time and place.) The tea owners being two ridiculously rich individuals who have more property then they even are aware of to the point that they actually have disregarded each others building permits/legal territory limits and over built ontop of one another. Instead of the two tea owners having a corporate disagreement and destroy all property they continue to merge and split the wealth amongst themselves- handing out Pennie’s thinking it’s a lot of money and will jet the kids started on a 401 k. You get onto a ferry ride which has a major wheel,it’s a steam engine boat on the river meaning instead of the walking on foot by knowledge alone, then walking paths, then roads, then paved roads for horses and carts, then streets for mainly carts. You have river systems and it makes sense that the frogs aka wealthy dressed frogs use it - they had fare in Pennies making you believe that their swamp land was bought out from the tea owners who probably grow mints/tea in the new farm lands. They enjoy their river rides and don’t stay on the land itself because they don’t own it outright they have wealth from buisness deals and monetization on the water (drinking/music/food/gambling) not on land itself. Then you have Adelaides cottage: we see a lot of fishermen near here in boats she has baskets of turtles inside - instead of clams/lobsters-seaweed this is a fresh water river area and turtle soup is in season. Her house is very interesting. He has traditional blacksmith doorknobs and locks with iron thumb tabs. - made so witches could never use them or get in/get out. As witches/fae can’t break past iron. Her home is reminiscent of a person who is a gatherer/shoreline harvester (they don’t rely on farm land or the ocean it’s all fresh water systems and small bodies of fresh water.) her method of work is traditional women work of fibers with traditional women’s tools this is screaming of Tudor-Edward era (1400-1800) it’s a mix of old world hand processes and modernization and how workers (women) who weren’t allowed outside they had to do house work/indoor labor till they died. And it brings up servants/youth who would have to assist the elders in their tasks or be trained to do the exact same thing. (This isn’t the same as ‘we’re townsfolk we love our careers that we individually create!’ It’s ‘I do this work to survive in this environment and systems and you do this work because while we’re nothing alike you’re a girl who is stuck here and this is the life purpose of you now this is the role god gave you you will not be paid until you produce on your own and hire/acquire your own assistant/worker. At the end credits this dissolves they enjoy just living together and doing the tasks to simply do them and enjoy them it’s not out of a need for family roles and disputes or worker and boss roles and disputes no one is fighting for a need of control they are simply existing. With the beast it reminds me of green men/ be socially a hunters best friend it’s the spirit of the woods itself all the trees all the animals everything: described as a tall man with antlers who sits cross legged in the woods waiting endlessly as moss and plants cover him green. - in this story the perception of the wood is always as something foreign and dangerous and scary to the adult men (the female teacher had no issues with the woodland animals and no fear over nature itself but fear over man-manipulated nature an escaped gorilla is not average for the woods.) Because the woodmans rationalizes and manifests the beast as a beast he is an east- the spirit of the woods can be neutral it can give you a deer or fish to feed your family through winter or can be harsh and offer nothing for the winter. The woodsman sees the beast as a stealer of children of life of time of energy of all things he takes the children to turn them into trees to be cut and used for lights. A woodsman’s lantern has always been a big deal. Having to work with oil lamps taking down trees day and night to clear out the area for new roads new paths new houses new towns so that one day it’s not even wood burning but electricity running over that same street. If he stops cutting trees down the future town can only gets so big. He has to stop working for the future families and live in the moment and enjoy his live with his family. As for the boys well the ended up on the train tracks the ones that were made over hundreds of years that cuts and tunnels through mountains over fields and across rivers. The train doesn’t stop and it doesn’t slow and it was made hundreds of years ago and it won’t stop running. They found it the moment they ran from a party from the cops over the cemetery walls marking the private property of the railway station/area. The fall into the ice and are welcomed to the potters field party where people don’t run from the festivity where there’s no cops and when the train was never built. They all celebrate in actual joy together with a maypole symbolizing the change in seasons the approaching winter and the joys over having a harvest of food that will help them survive to the next spring. (When the grounds frozen solid you can’t dig/ dead bodies are only buried in the spring time. If someone dies in the fall/winter they may have to stay indoors until the ground thaws/if things are dug up before the ground is frozen it can’t be put back till the next spring.) The loop is unbelievable. I love everything about this series and I feel like it was expertly crafted by people who knew so so so many details about the histories of so so so many different topics and they blended it into one of the most wholesome series ever produced in animation. Also the costumes are: Wirt:Traditional Medic/Wizard his cloak is actual a medical cape made of wool for an American war (civil-world wars) while Greg: an Elephant wearing a tea kettle his pants are just an older style of shorts for young kids: Bloomer Shorts (they can wear it for a few years as they grow bigger you can expand the waist line was really popular as a toddler-6year old option. They did have overall versions or just straight up overalls.)
8:00 I grew up killing chickens for food with my mom and siblings. The whole "running around" thing depends on the method and/or religious guidelines that apply when killing. (CW: Animal death, butchery methods) - - - Some people break the neck of the bird and then throw the body on the ground, which my parents found cruel, because - fun fact - a broken neck does not actually kill any living being, even a human. What causes death is actually the severing of nerves in the breaking process, which paralyzes your body from the neck down, including your lungs. You basically suffocate to death. This is also a method forbidden in certain religions, because 1. it's cruel and 2. it results in a lot of blood getting trapped in the meat, meaning it won't be kosher/halal. My family didn't let the chicken run around and we didn't break necks. We placed the chicken in a cone to keep it still and would remove the head in one stroke of the knife, so it wouldn't suffer. We then let the body completely drain out before removing it from the cone, immersing it in a pot of ready boiling water to loosen the feathers, plucking them, and then moving on to cleaning and preparing the body for cooking and/or storage. So yeah, if you ever need to find someone to add to your zombie apocalypse survival team who can kill and clean animals for meat, I'm your guy!
Me and my 2 siblings were only 1 year apart from each other, and even into my late 20s I was chastised for being the oldest child. So I definitely have a strong distaste for people holding an older child accountable for other children 😅
nah hes very much right, because he's talking about looking after them while they are out in the woods together, not every moment of every day for their entire lives. just like a parent telling an older sibling to watch out for their significantly younger sibling if they go out together anywhere. greg is a small child in the woods, and wirt is functioning as his guardian while they are out, you can't expect someone as young as greg to completely understand the dangers and pitfalls of such a place, and wirt needs to guide him as much as possible until they go home again. that's the role of a chaperone. in this episode wirt literally lets a small child out of his sight for an extended period of time in a dangerous place they don't know. without caring a bit. that isnt appropriate behavior, and if their parents knew about it, they would likely be as stern with him for that stunt as the woodsman was
Alright, let’s see YOU try to reign in the human embodiment of entropy for an extended period of time. You’ll soon find it’s like needing to walk an untrained dog while you don’t have access to a leash.
@@Joseph_Drew_III (Don't kill me, I swear I'm not trying to be aggressive or argumentative. I just enjoy discussions! Thank you if you read my whole comment. I know it's long, and your comment was months ago, so I'm very sorry. Please ignore, or ask for a TL;DR, if you want to). I mean, I agree with ashleyjohnson. As the older sibling in a dangerous situation with no parents around, he's in charge of Greg. But it's not like Wirt was taught how to be responsible and properly look out for a toddler. Which, as you said, is like needing to walk an untrained dog while you don't have access to a leash. But I don't think the Woodsman meant every moment of every day, but that he should still keep a closer eye on Greg in these woods. As even though I'm the baby of my (four) older siblings, I became a babysitter as a job, and if the toddler I've babysat and I were in this situation―I'd be gripping his wrist in a stranger's home and following him everywhere. Or give him something to do while I rest, though still keep my eyes on him. If that toddler ended up wandering outside, I'd get up and run after him. Not stay laying down, reciting poetry, staring at the ceiling and letting the toddler wander off outside without guidance. If I did that and the toddler ended up getting into danger, it'd be mostly my fault because I wasn't as much of a watch/guard-dog as I should've been. *Although,* Wirt *is* just a kid himself who wasn't taught how to properly handle toddlers, so people shouldn't give him too much grief, because it *is* incredibly hard and I highly doubt he was put in an *all* responsibility situation of Greg like this before. So while Greg *is* his responsibility in the woods, because the oldest is always and has to be the one in charge without parents around (which people with siblings would understand more in the first place, haha), unlike me―he wasn't taught how to take nor handle such responsibility, and does mature by the ending episodes. I do think a few people forget Wirt is just a kid too who, again, had no prior experience nor was guided himself how to handle Greg. Let alone how to be a good older brother, considering they're half siblings and I don't think grew up years together. In short, the Woodsman was right to scold Wirt, in my opinion. But again, doesn't mean Wirt is a bad kid, and does have the excuse that he's *never* been fully responsible for a toddler before. And I doubt was taught how to handle one, especially in a dangerous situation. No one can expect a dramatic, frustrated, anxious, awkward teenager who doesn't know healthier ways to express his puberty issues, without prior experience/strict guidance on handling a toddler, to suddenly do it responsibly. Ya' get what I mean? (Though it's *also* not like The Woodsman knew Wirt most likely had little to no experience).
We keep chickens for the eggs, but one turned out to be a rooster and it was starting to get all kinds of aggressive, so he had to become soup. Swung the axe myself. It was certainly an experience. If it came down to it I could do it again, but I'm not exactly jumping at the chance.
Wasn't the "eldest" child, but my older sibling wasn't around as much when u was a teenager (partly because she was spoiled I'm her teen years. She's a better person now but she wasn't back then), but I think it depends on the age difference. If it's only a year difference then no, you shouldn't be chastised. But if it's a chase of a 7 year difference, where your sibling is considerably younger. Then yeah you should keep an eye on them.
exactly! because at that point you are literally a chaperone for them, and you need to behave as such. no one in their right mind would let a child as young and careless as greg just wander about all alone
It's actually has to do with his rock he has he feels like he didn't earn it because he was lying to them *spoilers* at the end we figure out that he got his rock fact rock by stealing it from the old lady during Halloween and he feels really bad about it that's why he throws the cents is because he feels bad about it like it's actually a really good story telling that's also why at the end you see he puts the rock back in the garden
Being held responsible for your younger sibling's behavior depends on how much older you are and if you could be reasonably expected to be responsible. In this case I'd say Wirt should definitely be held accountable because he is 16 and Greg is only 5
I'm the youngest in my familiy as well and my mother always let out her frustration about my sisters on me, 'cause they didn't care what she said to them.
I feel like placing all the blame for a younger sibling on the older sibling isn’t fair since it’s the parents job to establish rules and enforce them. That being said older siblings do have more life experience and should step in if they see the younger kid doing something dangerous or irresponsible.
but that's the point--they don't have parents here with them, so wirt is the chaperone of his brother on this outing. if their parents had been told that wirt let his small child brother wander about all alone in a dangerous place they dont know, the parents would likely be even angrier than the woodsman
over the garden wall is one of the best shows i've ever seen aesthetically speaking but it goes way too fast for me to get emotionally attached to anything
The Unknown is Purgatory. every single characters that appeared to have come from multiple time periods in Earth's history. a place or state of suffering inhabited by the souls of sinners who are expiating their sins before going to heaven.
A pumpkin, from a botanist‘s perspective, is a fruit because it’s a product of the seed-bearing structure of flowering plants. Vegetables, on the other hand, are the edible portion of plants such as leaves, stems, roots, bullbs, flowers, and tubers.
Culinarily it's sort of ambiguous
Yeah vegetables is pm just part of a plant you can eat. So all fruits are vegetables, not all vegetables are fruits.
essentially, the term vegetable is a *culinary* term for edible plants/parts of edible plants
fruit, berry, etc are *botany* terms for various types and parts of plants whether edible or not.
example: the fruits of poisonous plants are still called fruits even though they are not edible! or, at least, not edible more than once 😬

*Although,* Wirt *is* just a kid himself who wasn't taught how to properly handle toddlers, so people shouldn't give him too much grief, because it *is* incredibly hard and I highly doubt he was put in an *all* responsibility situation of Greg like this before.
So while Greg *is* his responsibility in the woods, because the oldest is always and has to be the one in charge without parents around (which people with siblings would understand more in the first place, haha), unlike me―he wasn't taught how to take nor handle such responsibility, and does mature by the ending episodes.
I do think a few people forget Wirt is just a kid too who, again, had no prior experience nor was guided himself how to handle Greg. Let alone how to be a good older brother, considering they're half siblings and I don't think grew up years together.
In short, the Woodsman was right to scold Wirt, in my opinion. But again, doesn't mean Wirt is a bad kid, and does have the excuse that he's *never* been fully responsible for a toddler before. And I doubt was taught how to handle one, especially in a dangerous situation. No one can expect a dramatic, frustrated, anxious, awkward teenager who doesn't know healthier ways to express his puberty issues, without prior experience/strict guidance on handling a toddler, to suddenly do it responsibly. Ya' get what I mean? (Though it's *also* not like The Woodsman knew Wirt most likely had little to no experience).
Yes dude! Been waiting for this ever since the start of Steven Universe
There was a chicken that lived for years without its head. They fed it with an eye dropper.
OMG YAY THANK YOU!!! Best show ever!
LETS GOOOO! SCOOT WATCHIN ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON CARTOON NETWORK!
In fact, pumpkins are fruits.
We keep chickens for the eggs, but one turned out to be a rooster and it was starting to get all kinds of aggressive, so he had to become soup. Swung the axe myself. It was certainly an experience. If it came down to it I could do it again, but I'm not exactly jumping at the chance.
It was fun watching the stream for this series. Thanks, Scoot. :D
Wasn't the "eldest" child, but my older sibling wasn't around as much when u was a teenager (partly because she was spoiled I'm her teen years. She's a better person now but she wasn't back then), but I think it depends on the age difference. If it's only a year difference then no, you shouldn't be chastised. But if it's a chase of a 7 year difference, where your sibling is considerably younger. Then yeah you should keep an eye on them.
exactly! because at that point you are literally a chaperone for them, and you need to behave as such. no one in their right mind would let a child as young and careless as greg just wander about all alone
it was really fun watching it with you guys
I can't remember if they aired it all together first, but watching it all in one go the year it first came out was amazing
🥺 I love this show!
I feel like Greg’s cents sense pun doesn’t land well with most people who watch that episode just because of the rage it inflicts.
It's actually has to do with his rock he has he feels like he didn't earn it because he was lying to them *spoilers* at the end we figure out that he got his rock fact rock by stealing it from the old lady during Halloween and he feels really bad about it that's why he throws the cents is because he feels bad about it like it's actually a really good story telling that's also why at the end you see he puts the rock back in the garden
Just finished the series a few minutes ago so I could watch this vid!!!
Being held responsible for your younger sibling's behavior depends on how much older you are and if you could be reasonably expected to be responsible. In this case I'd say Wirt should definitely be held accountable because he is 16 and Greg is only 5
Great reaction!
oh hell yeah!! super excited!!
YES YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY YOU WATCHING THIS MAKES ME
i was expecting to see steven universe future today, Im excited to see how hes gonna react to steven and jasper's next fight
I'm the youngest in my familiy as well and my mother always let out her frustration about my sisters on me, 'cause they didn't care what she said to them.
are u gonna post the last five????
I might check this out. I never seen ut it looks interesting.
What are the odds
I searched “React Over the garden wall” a few minutes after you uploaded
FATE
@@Scootx Destiny
Yes, nothing else to say other than YES
I feel like placing all the blame for a younger sibling on the older sibling isn’t fair since it’s the parents job to establish rules and enforce them. That being said older siblings do have more life experience and should step in if they see the younger kid doing something dangerous or irresponsible.
but that's the point--they don't have parents here with them, so wirt is the chaperone of his brother on this outing. if their parents had been told that wirt let his small child brother wander about all alone in a dangerous place they dont know, the parents would likely be even angrier than the woodsman
21:55 bro that bird so freaki and scary
A pumpkin is a fruit.
I love batrice
YO I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE WATCHING THIS
lfgoooooo
as the younger sibling i can say- i blamed my everything on my older brother and it worked LOL was that fair- NOPE-!
over the garden wall is one of the best shows i've ever seen aesthetically speaking but it goes way too fast for me to get emotionally attached to anything
FINALLY! LET'S GOOOOO
Awesome. Is Owl House still happening?
Yup, probably tomorrow
Thanks man you rock
25:07: I hate Greg for this.
(Spoiler) But what Greg did makes sense after you make it to the end though. He low-key saving them. I thought it was great foreshadowing!
You gotta watch the last 5 episodes

The Unknown is Purgatory. every single characters that appeared to have come from multiple time periods in Earth's history. a place or state of suffering inhabited by the souls of sinners who are expiating their sins before going to heaven.
