The **crimson jimson weed** is a rare flower that can only bloom under the light of a Crimson Moon in the Mystic Jungle of the Emerald Lynx.

History
To Catch a Leaf
Sandy brings up the crimson jimson weed while the Monkie Kids tried to figure out a way to cure MK's hiccups. They also realized that it would bloom tonight so Sandy goes off to fetch it. Unbeknowst to him, Huntsman is also on the search for the flower. Sandy eventually reaches the top of the mountain first and watches the flower bloom. He then collects it but Huntsman arrives and chases him down for the flower. In the end, Huntsman leaves four of the five petals with Sandy. Back at Pigsy's Noodles, he uses three of them to make the tea for MK, which cures his hiccups. As the rest of the Monkie Kids started discussing why Huntsman was after the flower, Sandy looks at the last petal he saved in his field guide. Meanwhile, the Lady Bone Demon questions Huntsman on the quantity he managed to retrieve for her. She dismisses him after he confirms, saying it would be enough for the plan.

This is the End!
A petal of the crimson jimsonweed was used as an ingredient for the Lady Bone Demon's bone mech.

Brother Reid

Brother Reid is a Member of the Clergy and a Reader of the Story.

Brother Reid Currently Resides in the Story Compound.

Brother Reid occasionally has strong and painful reactions while reading the Story, necessitating a swift evacuation of the congregation. Pastor Andrew has implied that these reactions are caused by the intensity of the Story's content. Brother Reid has stated that the Story is not gentle when it enters the body and once revealed that it has caused him to bite off a little sliver of his tongue.
‎
‎

## Personal Life

Brother Reid is the the caretaker of Chalms, whom he found in a forest, named, and brought home with him to live on the Story Compound. To Chalms, he calls himself "Daddy Brother Reid" and Pastor Andrew "Father Pastor Andrew." Despite the child's mischievous nature, he appears care deeply for the boy.

Brother Reid appears to have a Cro-Croa addiction, admitting to drinking it throughout the day during a congregation picnic
‎
‎ He urges the congregation to drink responsibly and not to be like him.

Brother Reid seems to find birds distasteful. At one point he becomes distraught and distracted after hitting a bird with a car. Afterward, he hears that a congregant has named their bird after him and he is furious, demanding that the bird be crucified. He has claimed that by flying and hopping, birds are "insulting those without wings."
‎
‎

Brother Reid enjoys vomiting and often takes "happy pills" which are revealed to just be pills that make him vomit.

### Relationships

Brother Reid and Pastor Andrew have an extremely long, passionate, beautiful friendship that has lasted for millennia. They reportedly met in Cincinnati.

Once, while under the influence of Cro-Croa, Brother Reid declares Pastor Andrew his best friend. Pastor Andrew then asks to talk to him tomorrow and Brother Reid becomes indignant, indicating that his drinking is a sore spot in their relationship.

## Body Switch

After Chalms contaminates The Church's Cro-Croa supply,
‎
‎ Brother Reid saves Pastor Andrew from the harmful substance by licking him clean. This causes him and Chalms to slowly transform into each other. Once the transformation is complete, and Brother Reid is made of wax.
‎
‎

Due to him being unable to read the Story, the clergy decide to swap them out. While the clergy claim that they asked for Brother Reids consent, this is dubious as he wasn't understandable at that time.

## Social Media

Although the TMBD team has left Twitter, Brother Reid can still be found at @OurBrotherReid.

### Past

After Tang Sanzang freed Monkey King from Five Phases Mountain and put a circlet on his head. When Monkey King was disobedient, the circlet would tighten around his head.

## Trivia

* Early concept art and some set stickers depict the circlet with a crescent design rather than its current swirl.
