#I think it’s a barred owl

[toadalled]

My dad and I came across the coolest sight on our camping trip: An owl haloed by the full moon rising.

#Owl #barn owl #at least my dad says it is #I think it’s a barred owl #Wildlife #moon

If Amity's role in the hexsquad eco system is keeping Hunter humble then I think that Gus' role is keeping Amity humble. All three of them get along and like each other a lot but they will not hesitate to rib one another if they think someone's forgetting their roots.

#ramblings of a lunatic #the owl house #toh #hunter toh #amity blight #gus porter #And then obviously Luz and Willow are there when Gus gets in over his head. Perfectly balanced as all things should be #i think this dynamic holds up considering that Gus' interactions with Amity (barring s1 when they weren't friends)- #-includes the two of them showing up to get willow on EE #then Gus lightly (VERY lightly) ribbing her with king in EL for the events of teenage abomination #and contributing to the lumity matchmaking grind with varying levels of enthusiasm in TTLGR and FATCDP #he is there to assist Amity in her trials of love. but if she forgets how she got to this place of mad rizz. gus will remind her

So no clue what the phenomenon is called, but I've got that thing of "whenever you hear noises you have to repeat them" thing that some ADHD people have. It's not an always thing for me, but I do it A Lot when I'm out birding. I'm no good at it, of course, as I have a human mouth and no syrinx (a bird's voicebox), but that doesn't stop the chickadees from thinking some kid-chickadee is singing really badly in their territory, as chickadees love to throw down.

The problem is when you repeat a Barred Owl song (because ohmygod their song is amazing!) and the male of the pair thinks you sound juuuuuuuuust enough like an owl that he decides to scope your location. The amount of impulse control you gain when faced with the fact an owl would gladly smack the back of your head for singing terribly is incredible.

#it's seriously so hard to not do a BADO song whenever I hear them tho they're just so fuckin cool #but that night they were already riled up and getting ready for the breeding season #so when I sang the male was like Oh Really?? Fuck This??? and kept an eye on me for a minute before going back to his girlfriend #which was then really cute bc they kept on singing and my grandma got to enjoy it #the shih-tzu did not. he wanted to catch the owls and eat them. despite the fact they'd gladly make a meal of him #(not true. barred owl don't eat dogs) #personal #just thinking about this bc the Screech-Owls are singing at the park tonight but I can't mimic their song very well #so they ignore me and keep singing

#I was talking to some buddies about lies of p and sekiro and how LoP’s defense as offense mentality helped get into sekiro #but then how sekiro overwrote that mentality with its own “offense is the best defense” mentality #or “hesitate and you lose” as Grandpappy isshin would say #and how the switch for the change for me was genichiro who I think is one of the best designed bosses in gaming #you CAN’T play too defensively with him because he’s happy to pepper you with arrows from a distance #and then the moment comes when you realize your sword interrupts his bow attacks sekiro truly begins as a game #lady butterfly is also a good fight but all her moves bring her to you so there’s less incentive to be as aggressive #vs genny baby who will back off and fire off his bow if you let him #this isn’t even like a video of me playing perfectly but I LOVE getting my feudal edgelord corner stunned and just bursting him down #I kinda hate the owl shinobi fight bc he hits too hard and his attacks just aren’t interesting to react to #but it’s also possible to corner stun him and just go to town on his health bar #owl father and inner father are much better fights and I actually really enjoyed inner father a lot #but the Ashina family fights are absolutely stunning achievements in game design imo #perfectly balanced to be difficult but fair and visually stunning to boot #even if there is a layer of artificial difficulty in the final battle with the flowers obscuring their swords when they’re crouched #but the animations are solid enough that there are enough other more subtle differences like how hes shifting his weight #if he’s centered he’s going to lunge but if he’s angled he’s gonna sweep #I had so much fun with LoP and sekiro 🥰🥰🥰 I crave more… #I can’t say the combat in Elden ring gorilla gripped me like these two games have but I like HAVE to play dark souls I know this #sekiro #tsuchi plays games

TRUE BARRED OWL DUET THIS ISN'T A DRILL!!!!

#I don't think I've ever heard a true duet!! #(where the mated pair sing in near-unison) #the only odd part is... the one that's particularly Loud is in The Thing's spot but it doesn't sound like The Thing #it's possible she didn't make it through the winter but :( #although before the one I can hear close by started dueting she (?) did do a few loud Screams #which is very The Thing behavior. but the rest of the duet was all true barred owl calls #which is NOT The Thing behavior #the other part is the mate who's further off is not calling from the location of the previous mate

Trick or treat!

A bit belated but!

Treat :)

The owl and the full moon…

I turned to dad after I snapped these pictures and said “I think we were just blessed.”

#My pictures #I also thanked the owl for letting us see it and for holding still for pictures #Dad said it was a barn owl but I think it was a barred since it’s chonky

Question, how do you think hunter's heat resistance works

#the owl house #toh hunter #i hace been in a debate about this for an hour with my SO #im thinking either only magic heat burns him #(because the boiling sea didn't but kikimora's attack did) #or its like a heightened thing where the bar is raised #like for us 100°c is the cap but maybe for him its like 500°c or something

@dry-gold I actually did a casting call that included specific mention of Australian and New Zealand voice actors but only two ever auditioned and unfortunately neither fit what I was looking for in a voice. In the end I am very happy with Charlie Rowen’s take on the character.

As for the soundscape, the primary track is Australian, but there are birds from other locations mixed in at odd intervals as well. (You’ll just have to stretch your suspension of disbelief when the toucan-like birds squeak with the voices of jackdaws and herons.)

Anyway, thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it, despite the slightly strange geography.

#egg animated short #Since this is set in a fictional universe I wasn’t really a stickler for biological/geographic accuracy. #(I think there’s a loon and a barred owl in there somewhere as well now that I think about it?)

#flat update btw for those who care: this is my first friday night back in the flat since the night i moved in in july— which was a complete #terror because the bar downstairs was pounding music inhumanly loud from 5pm-2am and i had no forewarning or way to block the sound out #so i’ve been apprehensive— and only coming back midweek. well it’s friday night tonight and the noise is completely negligible— #or as negligible as a main road in bristol can be on a friday night at eleven o’clock. sirens and yelling but no pounding music even though #i know for a fact they’re meant to have a d.j. down there #and my earplugs as always are lifesavers :) and i’m getting acclimatised to city noise anyway. it always surprised me last year when i went #home and was reminded of the quiet movement / lively silence of a village— just foxes and pheasants and owls and sheep. and the river #oh i was so sure i was going to have a terrible evening….. instead i sat up late with my closest flatmate and his boyfriend and chatted #while they cooked. i’ve never really spoken to his boyfriend at length like that he’s so nice— reminds me of a friend from back home really #and i think we got on!! i made him laugh that’s good enough for me. and my flatmate clearly loves the bones of him #no wine tonight— i was worried i’d have to rely on it. some tea to take to bed and i might read macbeth on the harbourside tomorrow :) #ah. second year………

imagine making a good owl house oc

couldnt be me (it isnt me)

yes they have a curse yes theyre edgy no i dont care

the edgy colors get a pass though because theyre based on bearded vultures

their name is ripley and theyre the stupidest creature in every realm which makes sense because theyre pretty much an edgy self-insert

#the owl house oc #toh oc #toh sona #the owl house sona #i am cringe and i am behind bars #the lights in my room keep flickering and i think satans finally coming for me #surprisingly i didnt give them the curse to be edgy #i gave it to them because bird creatures are more fun to draw than humanoids #watch me pretend theyre new as if i didnt make them before s2 even came out #ask me about my ocs god please #any smidgen of attention i beg of you #im on my knees like a victorian era orphan child #believe it or not they arent crucial to the au they exist in lmao #imagine having an au dedicated to your existence and you still arent the main character #WHO LIKED THIS ITS BEEN ONE MINUTE

[crepusculum-rattus]

so i think a barred owl stared into my soul today

#we made eye contact and he just ⚫️|⚫️ #he saw something For Sure #i’ve never felt more threatened by an owl in my life #okay actually that’s a lie. the barn owl threatens me on a daily #but the barred owl……… he looked Into my soul i think #LMAO #theodore rambles
