San Josie the Brazilian Parrot from Dream Planet is loyal, brave, clever, imaginative, bold, noble, patient, very intelligent, friendly, a bit sarcastic, warm, caring and energetic. he frequently spends most of his time on Dream Island within the colourful corridors of The Dream Castle painting and creating beautiful flowers. He has a passion for traveling across each island all across Dream Planet and exploring though he has occasionally visited certain planets or planetoids and asteroid throughout the far-off distant galaxy known as Galaxceus on several occasions. Because of this San Josie has a knack of somehow walking into the strange most bizarre of situations like walking into a Dream Catcher's Bubble Making scheme or getting caught in a Dream Trolls Dream Spell although he always gets out of the said zany situation. San Josie may be cheerful but when he sees his fellow Dream Animals or any other Dream-related Creature such as a Dream Elf for that matter being threatened, then he summons an unexpected act of bravery and becomes surprisingly physically stronger than he already is then start fighting regardless of the odds, but this is only when The Nightmare Creatures are deeply involved. San Josie's Magic Item of Power is The Tropical Staff that can cast powerful spells such as summoning tidal waves and concocting giant storm clouds. San Josie often encourages the most cowardly of Dream Animals to try different things like teaching Farley the timid Wolf to go rock-climbing on The Desert Canyon on Dream Island. San Josie's best friend is Panchita the Mexican Rooster whom he is fiercely protective of. His soulmate is Terio the Brazilian Toucan whom he has a crush on. San Josie loves relaxing near the Long River near a tall tree on Dream Island🦜🌴🏝️

18th September 2022: Post 1 of 2-Boat trip with Birds of Poole Harbour

We spent some more brilliant time in Poole Harbour during this week off as we went on an autumn cruise with Birds of Poole Harbour this morning/early afternoon. The main hope of the trip was for me to finally see a White-tailed Eagle in the south again after the Isle of Wight reintroduction with a fair few being seen in the harbour especially along the Wareham Channel where we went to Ham Common Viewpoint to overlook on Monday, and on the way back on the boat we did see one. It was an honour to see this gigantic figure gliding through the air as though a log in the sky. Unmissable, unmistakable and phenomenal to see we enjoyed a glorious few minutes seeing it in the air before it went down into land. It was a splendid sight, one to really behold and I was in my element watching it and so happy. They don’t spend much of their day in the air so there is a lot of luck involved in seeing them, and I was over the moon to see one in this year full of big bird of prey experiences for me.

It’s been a very strong year for birds of prey for me, having now seen sixteen bird of prey species this year of the eighteen seen in my life. It’s only the third time I’ve seen a White-tailed Eagle, after a Hampshire rarity that we caught up with at Old Basing in 2011 and one in the Highlands of Scotland in 2018. Seeing it mobbed by birds including an Osprey and Buzzard which was some sight was amazing with an Osprey with fish below the eagle at one point in the air too seeing that in the same binocular view was quite something. What a few minutes it was to see the eagle.

Before seeing the eagle it had been a raptor fest in the harbour with some astounding views of Ospreys on this sunny morning particularly one. Late on in the time the Ospreys are migrating through this harbour where this species did historically nest for the first time in the south for two hundred years this year in another inspiring reintroduction programme it was a treat and a really notable thing in itself. Seeing their distinctive body and beautiful colours and markings finely shining in the sunlight and seeing them do dives towards the water was fantastic. We saw juvenile and adult, in the best ever year I have had for seeing them I cherished enthralling moments with this one of my very and original favourite birds. I took the fourth picture in this photoset of an Osprey.

It was an autumn bird safari trip and it was a bird fest with so many species seen. Leading the other highlights were yet more Kingfishers seen this week off and this month as we went past the Wareham Channel into the River Frome, the red and blue of the bird as they zipped by enchanted in the sunlight with them seen perched too. Seeing Osprey and Kingfisher together two of my original favourite birds that I have loosely thought of together as they both eat fish that I have had top years for was extraordinary. Marsh Harriers were another top bird of prey to see on the trip. Little Stint, Wood Sandpiper and Common Sandpiper key birds of our year seen nicely again in 2022 were highlights in a pool near the river. Avocet and many Black-tailed Godwits were other wading bird highlights it was nice to see a fair few of the latter feeding in a field beside the river. There were decent amounts of hirundines moving through a constant this week with Swallow, House Martin and Sand Martin seen. More Sandwich Terns this week, Great Black-backed Gull and a stunning Yellow-legged Gull were standout birds on the trip too and so good to see. I took the third and seventh pictures in this photoset of a Shag and Cormorant on the trip other great birds to see today. Away from birds seeing Sika Deers to add to the amazing mammals seen this week was great.

It really was a gorgeous morning and early afternoon with it so sunny, perfect to enjoy the vast landscape of the bright blue harbour and gorgeous green landscape around once more with the reedbed, riverine and lake habitat looking divine in the sunshine too. Seeing Ham Common, Arne, Brownsea Island and Corfe Castle was great as I was able to piece together the geography of places in and around the harbour I have long known or learnt more recently. I took the first two, fifth, sixth and final three pictures in this photoset of views on the boat trip.

It was all so well organised today, the team from Birds of Poole Harbour and the boat crew went out of their way to make it a very enjoyable and informative morning with such interesting and engaging commentary and expert guiding on seeing species. It was so welcoming and friendly, in keeping with the exciting projects underway to really make the harbour and this part of the coast an example to be aspired to on how to support wildlife and help the ecosystem thrive. The team were so enthusiastic and there was a great buzz among all of us in the big moments especially when the White-tailed Eagles and Ospreys were spotted. What an ending to our days off on leave that rather started and ended with a brilliant boat trip making the most of the wonders of the south coast.

Wildlife Sightings Summary: Five of my favourite birds the Marsh Harrier, Buzzard, Osprey, Kingfisher and Little Egret, one of my favourite mammals the Sika Deer, White-tailed Eagle, Carrion Crow, Herring Gull, Yellow-legged Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, Black-headed Gull, Sandwich Tern, Cormorant and Grey Heron well again, Spoonbills well at Arne, Mallard, Gadwall, a fair few Mute Swans nicely, Canada Goose, Egyptian Goose, Black-tailed Godwit, Redshank, Avocet, Oystercatcher, Common Sandpiper, Wood Sandpiper, Little Stint, Stonechat, Blue Tit looking nice in the reedbed, Swallow, House Martin, Sand Martin, Pied Wagtail, Woodpigeon and wasps.

Its been awhile and i have another OC to share LOL gotta draw brain rots instead of keeping them in your head forever ☺️💖

Name: Aurore Dormir

School: Royal Sword Academy

Pastime: Escaping school to wander in the nearby forest, spending time alone

Hobbies: Sightseeing, Gardening, Fencing.

Family: Father, Mother , *Brother ( silver, please refer to the last note regarding my own theory)

Aurore is a third year student at RSA, currently house warden of the sleeping beauty inspired dorm.

Aurore is also the next king of the Kingdom of Heroes, which naturally made him the center of attention in RSA.

Unlike Malleus whose powerful aura pushes people away from him, Aurore draws people towards him as they feel a sense of security around him.

He was only recently enrolled into school during his second year as his family brought him back from isolation for training, far away from the world’s eyes.

At first glance, Aurore may seem like the ideal dream prince: Kind, Polite, Courageous, Strong and Smart as he is consistent in securing top grades across his cohort. But deep down, he isn’t exactly the perfect prince most of his peers think he is.

Aurore is actually afraid of strangers and overwhelming attention ( he was raised in isolation so meeting humans are.. yeah) He is skilled at hiding his weakness but starts blanking out if there are too many people crowding around him.

As a result, he finds happiness in spending time alone in places where no one recognises him. He usually takes a short stroll around Sage Island’s various forests when his caretakers aren’t looking.

Strangely, Aurore mentions that his enjoyment from lonely strolls only existed because he would suddenly find himself in unknown places as a child…as if something or someone was calling him. But he became mentally stronger as he got older and knows how to guard himself during his impromptu walks.

Bonus personal theory/lore:

Hi! So if you have been following me since i started creating twst ocs, you would be familiar with a certain comic i drew for an Aurora Oc ( its not exactly Aurore because i didn’t flesh him out) . But to sum up my theory for that comic:

There was once a powerful kingdom that clashed with briar valley, humans and fae did not get along as well back then.

Somewhere in between the war, both of the queen’s sons were cursed by a powerful magician and separated at birth. The queen initially wanted to send her two sons far away from the castle, but only managed to send one tucked away in a casket that drifted on a hidden river which led to a forest.

The war ended a few days later, with both fae and humans forming a truce. The queen fell into depression after realising that her second son probably did not make it and blamed herself for not keeping him a little longer had she known he would have been safe and alive in her arms.

Time heals wounds, and with some reassurance from the King the Queen got back up on her feet stronger for the sake of her people. Of course, sometimes the servants would catch a glimpse of the lonely Queen staring into the far forests wondering if she will ever see those small pair of Aurora coloured eyes again.

Because the Queen conceived her two sons alone away from the servants, only she and the King were aware of their other missing son. The three fairy advisors who had protected them from the very start told the Queen that if word of two cursed princes were to spread, the kingdom would be doomed to fall . The Queen had no choice but to accept this decision, and so they entrusted their only son to the three fairies in case the curse within him acts up. Hence Aurore was raised in isolation away from the world’s attention and only enrolled in his second year to prevent the curse from possibly manifesting.

In this story I created Silver is the missing prince in question who drifted far into the forest and eventually picked up by Lilia. His only proof of his royal status is a ring with an aurora coloured gem (Book 7 mention).

Regarding the curse: Silver was cursed to feel drowsy all the time while Aurore was cursed to follow a voice in his head which leads him to sleepwalk into dangerous places alone. Silver’s hair colour reminds me of the spindle/needle, so in a way he contains the sleeping curse. Like Aurora, Aurore is drawn into strange places by a voice and eventually to the spindle. Hence these two will always feel an unfamiliar sense of closeness to each other.

“Yao why do you think Silver would have a brother? Much less the RSA guy inspired by Aurora? Doesn’t Silver already have Aurora’s traits?”

In general this is just my own fun theory to think about, but my reasons are because i think it would be interesting if Silver canonically had living family member(s) from a royal family( that ring kinda tells all). It would also put him in place wondering if he should return to his biological human family or stay with his Briar Valley family as he feels a stronger bond with them. With the way TWST tackles issues about fae/human like Sebek from example, i would love to see Silver’s resolve for his found family.

In my old comic, the Aurora OC actually dislikes Fae because of the war. He especially hates Lilia because he believed the war criminal took his own brother away and is promoting peace despite his past.

I feel Aurore would dislike Lilia but eventually learns to see the war from both sides as humans aren’t all that great either, he is still a naive prince with much to learn about the world. So while Silver does have Aurora’s trait, Aurore may have some of King Stefan’s from Maleficent/OG film. TWST tends to combine diff character traits anyways🌝👍

Anyways I adore these two so much and am looking forward to Silver’s past in the future updates! Thank you for reading about Aurore, till next time 💖

Doing It Wrong On Purpose: Episode 1 - The Un-Ship

Today's experiment: What happens if I prompt for something, and then negative prompt all the main keywords, plus various synonyms and related words?

The answer: Some gloriously weird stuff.

For example, let's look at a negative cat:

Positive prompt: A cat on a windowsill during a storm

Negative prompt: Cat, feline, felidae, kitty, kitten, animal, pet, windowsill, window, glass, pane, house, storm, rain, water, lightning, thunder, clouds, torrent, downpour, snow, blizzard, wind, windy

Interesting! Let's get a little more fantasy with it and try for an anti-deer:

Positive prompt: A deer in a peaceful flowery meadow, crystals, midnight, fantasy, colorful

Negative prompt: Deer, cervidae, animal, elk, moose, stag, doe, fawn, reindeer, antelope, cervid, antlers, flowers, night, dark, trees, foliage, bloom, stars, night, tranquil, fantastic, vibrant, cool, magic, blue, moon, sky, crystal, stone, statue, topiary, floral, blossom

Between these two experiments, including a few dozen other generations that remain unposted, one thing I can say for sure is that for living subjects, it's a great way to get the kind of anatomical wonk that older models are (in)famous for - and it makes sense why, the model is trying to make something that looks like a certain subject...but once it starts to look too much like it, well, shit, we told it NOT to do that! Break something up! Given that I love that kind of wonk, I think I've found a useful tool for myself.

One more living subject, and let's get even more abstract with our direction here:

Positive prompt: mind horse

Negative prompt: horse, equine, colt, filly, mare, stallion, bronco, pony, mind, brain, thought, essence, psyche, intelligence, consciousness, imagination, dream, soul, visualization, intellect, wit, cognizance

Now let's try something that isn't alive. One thing I love AI for is surreal settings and landscapes - lets try one now!

Positive prompt: A magic palace garden made of crystal and gold

Negative prompt: Palace, magic, crystal, gold, fantasy, castle, estate, stronghold, temple, garden, flowers, plants, blossoms, bloom, blooms, trees, grass, stems, foliage, leaves, greenery, branches, bush, bushes, hedge, hedges, metal, luxury, stone, glass, brass, rose, polished, jewel, prism, courtyard

I then tried to see if, learning from the animal subjects, I could make it more likely to return one of my favorite "mistakes" - making it impossible to discern the point where a water area ends and a sky area begins. I wasn't immediately successful, but I came up with some results I found pleasing regardless-

Positive prompt: Secret hideout in a cave behind a waterfall in the foggy forest on a floating sky island in fluffy clouds

Negative prompt: hideout, camp, campsite, home, abode, house, dwelling, rest, shelter, waterfall, water, cave, grotto, forest, woods, woodland, trees, fountain, cascade, pond, stream, lake, river, brook, puddle, creek, pool, beach, ocean, sea, cloud, clouds, sky, cumulus, cirrus, nimbus, fog, storm, rain, sunshower, falls

It seems that with landscapes it's got a much clearer and more specific "idea" of what a [SUBJECT] without [SUBJECT] looks like; it's more inclined to invent very specific, very consistent unasked for related elements. With the animals, I was tweaking the weight on the positive prompt to avoid getting straightforwardly just what I had positive (and negative) prompted, but with landscapes, I just get... almost something else entirely.

So how about inanimate objects? Let's try a ship, perhaps?

Positive prompt: A huge sailing ship with brilliant prismatic crystal sails on a stormy, turbulent sea of sunset clouds

Negative prompt: ship, boat, sailboat, sailing ship, pirate ship, galleon, ketch, schooner, sloop, cutter, sail, sea, ocean, storm, wind, rain, water, waves, cloudy, clouds, fog, sunset, dusk, dawn, sunrise, twilight, evening

...okay, I'm in love with the un-ship. It truly does manage to consistently give me results that look like, yet entirely unlike, a ship. It is everything I love about AI as a medium. More than that, it is my friend.

At lower positive prompt weights, they only get even more beautifully chaotic.

I want to live on one of these (in an alternate universe where they're geometrically possible and structurally sound, that is).

Failing that, I will be featuring them a lot from now on.
