Wheat fields are more mystical than fields of other crops. You are 7,000 times more likely to meet an old god or see a portent of doom in a wheat field than in a field of like… soybeans.
For your consideration: cornfields
Cornfields are less mystical than wheat fields but more mystical than soybean fields. Two-bit monsters congregate in corn fields to eat people, but their power is nothing compared to the things that manifest in wheat fields.
Have been in both wheat and cornfields; can confirm. Cornfields host monsters who eat people. Wheat fields attract old gods.
I have a theory that this is because the notions most of us have of “old gods” are pretty intrinsically European, and wheat was (and is) the staple crop of European life. It is quite literally tied to the ancestral rituals and beliefs of most white people. Odin, the Morrigan, and even Zeus are actually linked to a set of peoples who cultivated wheat.
Meanwhile, corn (maize) is a crop native to the Americas. It features in the white cultural imagination in a very different way. Corn is a motif seen not in our ancestral myths, but in a much newer genre: the American Gothic. With its focus on the tensions between man and nature and—perhaps more importantly—the United States’s history of genocide against its indigenous population and trade in enslaved Africans, the American Gothic is VERY preoccupied with agriculture. Our monsters come out of corn fields because corn is a symbol for not only what we did to the Native Americans (who were the first to grow the crop), but of what we are doing to the very land itself. Corn is a monument to our cultural sins.
Meanwhile, I suspect that corn features very differently in the imaginations of people of color. If you asked a Native American person or a Latinx person what sort of mysticism they associate with corn fields, I imagine their answer would be very different than ours.
TLDR: White people associate wheat with our ancestors’ gods because our ancestors grew wheat. We associate corn with terrible monsters because it is a literal sign of our own monstrosity.
Native American here, can confirm that small plots of corn feel safe and homey; ideally they should be interplanted with other crops. You find turkeys and possums and raccoons in the corn. It might tell you important knowledge.
However.
Giant monocultures of corn, where the corn grows unbroken for miles and miles, not near human habitation, devoid of local wildlife, just corn on corn in the soft wind? Corn mega monocultures? Those sound like screaming.
“monocultures attract people-eating monsters” is not the take I expected to see today but I’m glad I saw it
I grew up in a neighborhood right next to a farmer’s field. He grew corn, soy, and winter wheat depending on the cycle.
Soy was pretty and green, but we never felt a desire to go running in it or interact with it at all. Just pretty background.
My dad taught me how to chew winter wheat like chewing gum. It was appreciated, and I passed through it once or twice when I needed to take a shortcut, but we never really played in it either.
The farmer let us kids go into the field to pick a few ears of corn if we wanted. And sometimes we would run through it because of the thrill of losing the horizon in it. But if you went into the cornfield, you knew you’d come out of it bleeding somewhere. No matter what, you came out with a little cut on you somewhere. It was still the time we wanted to play in the field most.
My next door neighbor once saw something with my face beckon her into the cornfield wearing clothing I’ve never owned. It disappeared before she could finish asking her parents if she could go out to play.

Did you know that peafowl are born with a full set of flight feathers? It only takes them 3-4 days to remove the sheaths and put a little length on them, and then they are capable of flight!
It’s very obnoxious!
glad that came through in text

if you’re having a bad day, here’s a cute little marching band
this actually made me cry with joy also one of them is eating noodles
It just keeps going and getting better. *^^*
Me two minutes ago: “cry with joy? an animation of cats playing instruments made someone cry with joy?”
Me now: (sobs into a tissue) “OH MY GOD THAT ONE IS PLAYING TWO RECORDERS AT THE SAME TIME” (blows nose)
CAT PARADE IS BACK
there are SO MANY cute little details in this
So I was looking for the full version of this video cause i always get sad when this one cuts off the ending and–
not only has the original creator made an HD version,
they also made a reanimated “deluxe” version! with even more cute easter eggs!

You have to play it right. I find that a weirdo with a Lock style rifle is less silly then a Billy the Kid VS the Dragons
What’s even funnier is that this dude is the most powerful mage of his time. And he still opted for the gun.
