#The birds were amazing!

[totally-original-artist]

Went to a bird park!! Exhausted, had to walk a lot....

#E #The birds were amazing! #Many of the peacocks looked like they had trimmed tsils tho :( #And quite a few birds looked neglected #Looked a lot more depressing from when I last went... #Oh yea halfway thru I heard a kid scream hut it turned out to be a wild cockatoo #It had like a yellow crest thingie. Really cute >_< #Also got to see a bunch of egrets chase after a stork that had a papaya in its beak #SPEAKING OF STORKS #THISE THINGS ARE HUGE #they make this clicking sound with their beak and you can HEAR them fly it's awesome

I did also go to the zoo! I have diverse interests!!!!

#the bird house was closed so I left after about an hour #but extremely exciting - that top photo isn't a bird in an exhibit; there are a whole bunch of endangered birds #who settled into the woods near the children's area; they've nested and the zoo can't move them #without violating the law (migratory bird act). it's just so perfect that they decided to nest in the zoo? #where the zookeepers can keep an eye on them and close certain exhibits to make sure they have room? #amazing. someone give that flock a MEDAL. #also the lions were REAL active I've never seen so many of them awake and prowling around #wherever there is light

#woso #nwsl #ACFC #angel city fc #renee rapp #towa bird #let’s go lesbians!! #merit Mathias #I love this collab #also the Neilson goal in the dying minutes were amazing

In a shocking turn of events after how poorly handled Look My Way was, I also don't like the new ep lol

#love framing how Stolas is literally openly mean to Blitz #and Blitz being rightfully angry about it as him just being too uwu mental ill to accept love #stolas refuses to aknowledge the class difference between them while blitz is painfully aware of it #it really doesn't feel like commentary as it is just overlooking and over simplifying it #anyway #i sorta fell out of trust/love after look my way got BUTCHERED #'for making you means to an end' what does making someone have to with blitz???? it doesn't. the line was about octavia and they cut it #they ruined paranoid's beautiful and amazing song that GAVE THEM FREE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FOR STOLAS #but whatever i guess #love Brandon tho he's amazing as always #how do i join the viv sucks train without coming across as a morally aggrandizing puritan #i don't think shes that great as a writer but im absolutely not one of those viv haters y'all are w e i r d #helluva boss #anti stolitz #is that a thing? #blitzfizz should've been endgame #i hate u bird man i miss when u were gonna be a bad guy instead of a sympathetic colonizer #im still proship even if i hate that bird #dont get it twisted

[miyakuli]

when I read a post about giving some love to my fav bird and I end up just analyzing all the facets of his personality that I adore without sounding coherent in my words because my next class of students will arrive in 2 minutes

#helluva boss #I wrote the last one when my students were arriving and I was so concentrated in my mission of praising Stolas lol #Stolas is such an amazing character <3 please love my baby bird #personal

Weird birds I found outside today.

#the amazing digital circus #TADC #Zooble #Bird #2023 art #I am a simple woman: I see a triangular head and I think of birds #This was just supposed to be 1 or 2 drawings but I just kept expanding the canvas </3 #And tbh I was tempted to add even more but. There's other stuff I wanna draw ya know #Maybe I'll draw this beast more another day #You can tell which doodles were done later based on how many parts were reused

My brain nonstop since watching episode 2:

*RUN* angelic choir singing as we pan up Izzy's missing leg and then his body. As we see him holding the gun *RUN* Izzy looks sad, wet, sick, and PISSED, betraying Edward for good this time*RUN* Zoom in on Izzy's face, the mark of his failed attempt dripping in the rain *RUN* Pan to Ed, laughing like a maniac, relieved, and scared, as he realizes that Izzy didn't die. So him killing himself like this would kill all the people left in his life. That he's put the ship in danger for no reason.*RUN*

(Spotify is SO LUCKY my top Songs of the Year reset October, this fucker would be top 50 AT LEAST)

#izzy hands #ofmd s2 #edward teach #ofmd season 2 #con o'neill #israel hands #It's not my fault one of my ships became canon in the most roundabout way following a path I did expect (Izzy confessing Ed ignoring it) #I love that Izzy brushed his own confession aside and didn't expect anything in return. He felt his life was over. It was. #so he dedicated himself to protecting his crew. He could have shot himself again. But he chose to TRY to save them #I love that they survived the storm somehow AND they were still not done. Clearly starving and catching any bird they could just to eat. #GOD I fucking love ep 2 and how it shows the problems in Ed and Izzy's relationship #It's so fucking broken. The love each other AND they can't stop hurting each other (though it's 90% Ed hurting Izzy right now) #My favorite scene so far(close tie with the EdIzzy scene before Izzy's attempt). I know Con will top it. BUT DAMN #ofmd s2 ep 2 #Con O'Neill you are an amazing actor and I hope all the fuckers who want Izzy dead can at least acknowledge that #Youtube

Singing bird automaton - SOUND ON!

From thehouseofautomata on Instagram

Dusty as a treasure from a tomb, this clockwork machine sings out, giving life eternal to a stuffed bird. Bontems, Paris c1865. The workings of this mechanism are described in the book ‘Secrets of Automata’ available worldwide via the link in the bio.

#I so love this #amazing #enchanting #definitely not enough steampunk media emphasize how awesome automatons were!😭 #bird singing #bird art #bird automaton #automaton #clockwork machine #clockwork

[image description: two images of a Northern Mockingbird perched on some branches. It is a soft grey-brown, with darker feathered wings that have a white band in the middle. Its eyes are a brilliant gold. In the first image, it is looking off to the right, one eye staring at the camera, and is somewhat hunkered down. Its body is framed by a curving twig. In the second image, it is perched higher up, rump facing the camera as it looks to the sky. There is a big fluffy white cloud in the background. end image description]

birdy :D

#big long ramble about my day so far in the tags just cause i felt like sharing #i had a rheumatology appointment today but i was Way early #arrived when the doctors had broken for lunch. the receptionist told me there was a new nature path past the parking lot #and i was like hell why not. maybe i’ll find a cool bug #i did not find many bugs but hooo there were so many birds it was amazing #this fella was the highlight #i was trying to get a picture of it through a bush cause it looked cool #but then it flapped up In Front Of Me. like less than a meter away #and i just stared wide eyed at it for like three seconds #snapped a few pictures because it posed for me for a little #it also gave me a little gift :’) i didn’t catch the poop falling on camera lol #then it flitted off back the way it came #there was also a hummingbird (anna’s hummingbird i think) #and a few others i couldn’t identify. probably a few bushtits and i think two goldfinches at least #and also some really fucking loud geese(?) that i could not find #it was nice. talking a walk here and there is so nice #i did eventually find some bugs. there was a honeybee that was getting blown across the ground by the wind #literally tumbling all the way. i scooped it onto a leaf and put it somewhere a bit less windy #and there was another in a flower that seemed a bit stronger #also there were these little solitary bee home tubes!!! didn’t see any bees come out though #and there was a cat :D #hshshshshdh it’s been nice so far #my appointment went well too #mockingbird blessing :) #if i had a nickel for every time i happened to somehow be allowed within a meter of a bird to get a super clean picture of them #i would have two nickels #which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice /ref #the other instance was of hatchlings too :’D god they were so round and cute #i miss them i hope they had lots of babies

trying to listen to the newest silt verses but getting too distracted by the bird chirping noises in the background

#midtalks #the silt verses #legitimately thought there were real birds around me for a bit #faulkner: trying to monologue #me: sorry what was that cant hear you over my trying to figure out what birds these are #anyways amazing ep as always

[sincerely-nines]

Computer. Show me birds.

#i love being home because there's so many birds #And i hear them #Guys i hear them more than i see them #Isn't that amazing #(starts crying) #If i were an anime character my whole bit is that im a bit obsessed with nature

#holy shit at linen shirts i guess. does that count as a fetish? #also i want a fucking cape #and a big hammer #and one of those alchemist glasses? #thats actually top priority #i bought a bracelet and lost it within 30 mins and was too embarrassed to tell my friends #shit was in the woods it was amazing. i saw a woman in a bird witch outfit and she was like 64 i love her #next year im definitely going all days and getting a tent there #there were soooo many people i knew too lmfao i really have been hanging with these people for years without ever going myself #and people of all ages!! #THERE WAS AN HONEST TO GOD BLACKSMITH #also i could make mad bank in that place #they were selling shit i could easily make on my own like potion holders n shit for like 25-30 euros #the entire time i was like damn i have enough shit laying around to make like 20 of these

Hi! just wanted to let you know that bird set free is so wonderful that I am unable to read anything else. Your talent is a blessing and a curse.

I just had to look up all the ice skating moves you mentioned and it’s so beautiful to watch, I trained in ballet for about 14 years as a kid and they are vaguely similar and I think that enticed me, like a little throwback you know. Anyway, I was just curious how you knew so much about it? Are you just extremely well researched or have you skated before?

Thanks love

Hi! Thank you so much!!! This is such a lovely ask!

And also I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED because I have ZERO experience as an ice skater (have never even worn a pair of ice skates). My Jobros bestie and technical beta @billsfangearring was the brains behind this operation!!

Going in, I knew basic things, like the names of certain jumps (like a triple axel or a quad Lutz) just from watching figure skating. But Billie was the one to tell me that there are requirements for certain elements in each type of program (we designed the whole Bird Set Free free skate entirely from scratch, even literally modeling the starting pose lol) and helped me figure out the best way to verbally describe those elements (how a jump starts, which side of the blade a skater would land on, etc).

So if it reads like I know what I am talking about, that is ALL thanks to Billie!

(Billie also helped me pick the music! Including recommending THE PERFECT SONG for a very important short program that is coming very soon 👀👀👀)

#i got an ask! #Thank you so much friend! #And thank you so much for asking this!! #I love to talk about how amazing Billie is 😍 #And all the fun we had with this fic #From designing the free skate for Bird Set Free #To figuring out the perfect songs to use #To modeling figure skating poses in our respective bedrooms looool #And talking about our cats #And listening to great (and sometimes ridiculous) Jonas brothers songs lol #This started last year when the olympics were on #So we were constantly messaging about DID YOU SEE THIS PERSON'S SHORT PROGRAM #some things that we talked about went into the fic #Like how Lucius doesn't even let his skaters have water before a skate #That is a real rumor about the Russian figure skating coach #And I did research on jumps and outfits and moves I wanted to incorporate of course #But Billie was the one that made those things make sense #And would tell me things like #Watch the way THIS skater does THIS move #Aka yuzuru hanyu and the Hydro blade #Used a video of him as direct reference #But that comes later 👀 #ANYWAY I'M BLATHERING BUT LONG STORY SHORT I LOVE BILLIE SO MUCH

im so predictable it's tragic...put a funny little robot in a game and that's my guy. my dude

CNMN is the most character ever, i'd die for him

#and lil 808! baby as hell 🥺🥺🥺 #verm is playing... #more like verm is done #overall not a single miss with the boss fights #all my issues were skill issues lmao #or my keyboard not disabling certain buttons during game mode #and then verm bf found out one of my control schemes that was set as default and it was the equivalent of fighting with an arm missing #so that was fixed #anyways it was legit the flow state i had for the boss rush for elden ring #did i know what i was doing? nah. was i doing it? fuck yeah. a parry god #i was in literal tears of laughter for the cafeteria scene #mad respect for the devs using that song but making us EARN it #amazing game amazing concept and every character was hilarious #i hated no one even if they were evil or 'evil' #hate birds tho never met a bird enemy that i liked in any game
