    One's best ideas don't come to them when they try. If one were to sit down and strain themselves trying to come up with something brilliant, they would sooner suffer a brain aneurysm. No, the best ideas are the ones that are drawn from sudden inspiration - the ones that just pop into your head.

    So you're orbiting a Forest planet. You see that one of the side biomes is "Bubble Wrap." Curious, you decide to beam down. As soon as your character's feet hit the ground, pop. The dirt is normal in every way, but you see small blue bubbles growing in place of grass. You walk to the East to explore a bit. Every step of the way, in various pitches: pop, pop, pop. You come across a tree. It looks like a paper towel roll, only instead of paper, it's covered in those blue bubbles. The branches and leaves appear to just be torn pieces of the bubbles hanging out from the top, like fronds of a palm tree. You take out your ax and start chopping away. Instead of the usual woodcutting sound, however, all you hear is poppoppoppoppop. The tree falls, and as it hits the ground you hear both the grass and the wood do that familiar pop. You walk over to collect the wood and saplings, pop pop pop.

    You spot a bush in the background. This bush is a more grey-blue, but it too seems to be made out of these small, plastic bubbles. A whole row of the bushes lie in front of you, so you take out your bonehammer and give it a hard swing. The plants all burst in an explosion of poppoppoppoppoppoppoppoppop. Each bush drops an item - but this item isn't Plant Fibre! You walk and pick up each of the items, pop pop pop. The items themselves are called "Bubble Wrap." You hold one in your hand and left click. Pop. You click twice more. Pop pop.

    As you explore this biome, you find a darker blue treasure chest, covered with even more bubbles. You open it. Poppop. Inside you find a blueprint: Bubble Chair. You consume it and warp back up to your ship, sent off by another pop. You go to your Robotic Crafting Table to check out this Bubble Chair schematic: 20 Bubble Wrap. Easy. You build the chair, which appears in your inventory, pop. You decide to place it on your ship, poppoppop. You approach it and press E. Your character plops his or her posterior on their new furniture. Poppoppoppop pop. You stand up. Poppop.

    What other miraculous items wait in this mysterious new biome? Even more Bubble Furniture? A cape that makes a pop sound every time you get hit? Or nothing at all, since all of this is merely a suggestion, and not actually in the game.

    Such as it ends. The idea just came to me, and I decided to pop by to share it with you all. Any and all additional ideas and suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated.
