The Buried Forest, Deciduously Insulated, otherwise known as an Inverted Planet, is a type of large, underground space, seen in "Well, Look Who It Is!", "Return of the Rocket Ship" and "Don't Dig Straight Down".
Appearance[]
It is a hollow sphere with trees on the inside, a glowing light in the middle (presumed to be some kind of star) attached to a string or a rod, and usually with waterfalls spilling from the top. Inverted Planets differ in environments, and two Inverted Planets have been shown over the course of the series so far.
The one located under the northern part of Goiky (in BFB) has a temperate environment and a hot spring. A few meters beneath the hot spring is a vein of magma.
The one located under the southern part of Goiky (in BFDIA) has a snowy taiga environment and a large lake spanning most of its area.
Coverage[]
The first chronological appearance of the Inverted Planet was in "Well, Look Who It Is!". Coiny discovers it while trying to find Pin, and meets Pinecone, who corrects him to use the new "Buried Forest, Deciduously Insulated" term. Their conversation is also overheard by Donut in the Locker of Losers. The forest here was shown to be snowy with coniferous trees growing in it.
In BFB, the forest was first teased in "Return of the Rocket Ship", and later appeared in its entirety in the following episode. Spongy cannonballed into a lake several times, causing a crack to form beneath it and exposing Magma. (Earlier, Barf Bag noted that the water Bomby scooped into her was "warm".)
The members of Team Ice Cube! barely escaped the forest by means of Spongy, though Naily and Gelatin leaped to the hole the team dug through earlier with ease.
The entire forest would be shown later to be entirely destroyed.
Trivia[]
- The acronym for the inverted planet is BFDI, another reference to the BFDI acronym running gag.
- Based on the name and their appearance, the trees are presumably deciduous trees.
- The hot spring at the bottom of the planet is constantly being fed water via two strange waterfall-like things; though there doesn't seem to be an outflow besides the surrounding dirt which may also be where the in-flow is coming from.
- The yellow sun-like object in the center looks similar to Aura Sphere, a BFB 13 RC, but recolored.
- The buried forest makes a brief appearance in the non-canon video, Lo-Fi Beats to Yoyle To.
- The Inverted Planet's design may be a reference to the Hollow Earth, a theoretical location that is said to contain technologically advanced cities.
- The Inverted Planet’s original design was going to be similar to “The Forked Earth” which is an area in Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart In Las Vegas, Nevada.
- There is an Inverted Planet in the Plains, and there is another one in the Grasslands.
- The forest may go through seasons.
