And the Avatar must master all four elemelons.
But he still has a lot to learn...
Firemelon is just peppers
Earthmelon is an onion
Windmelon is beans
When I learnt the alphabet song as a kid I always used to think it went H I J K elemelon P
I thought it was EMINEMO (yes, all caps).
this was worth the doom scrolling
MUL-TI-PASS!
Hydrogenmelon, Heliummelon, Lithiummelon, Berylliummelon, Boronmelon, Carbonmelon, Nitrogenmelon, Oxygenmelon, Fluorinemelon, Neonmelon....
I feel like earthmellon would just be a coconut. I'm excited for windmelon and firemellon, though.
Rockmelon is another name for cantaloupe
That's true, I guess because of the peel. By that logic watermelons would have to be blue, though.
Dragonfruit? Or are we going capsaicin
I was thinking that it's about composition (watermelon is mostly water), so probably more capsaicin. Hot like a pepper but big and round. And maybe some orangish bioluminescence too, since it's a made-up fruit and I'm allowed some creative licence.
Windmelon would then be very light and spongy.
I wonder if a fruit like that could ever be GMO'ed.
I see no fundamental reason why not. The barriers are mostly cultural and in understanding details of biology when it comes to GMOs.
Whatever you're smoking, I want it!
"Mm... Sure can't wait to try this windmelon!"
Punctures it with knife to cut it and it just explodes because it's full of compressed air
Add in Heartmelon and you have Captain Planet.
"Elemelons". Now that is a new favorite high word, next to banana. Banananananananananana.....
