can't be the only aussie that fucking despises seeing my country's native animals (especially birds) being kept as pets right? like i feel that most people in my general area hate that shit but idk about city fellas. like especially if the pet (sugar glider, parrot, emu, etc.) is like, in a place like america where their laws there for owning animals are shit as. like. maybe YOU can own a fucking emu in america easy peasy lemon squeezy but in australia you 1. have to have a very good fucking reason for it and 2. a fucking permit to own the animal. and most of those reasons and permits come down to emu farms that farm the meat, feathers, eggs etc. like in australia you can't own native animals without permits and with some native animals you're only allowed to have temporary guardianship over them because you're a wildlife rehabber, and afterwards they MUST be released into the wild. like here in australia we take care of our wildlife and take that shit very seriously which is why exporting native animals and importing invasive animals is severely restricted, with exceptions for like, zoos and research and shit. we're so anal about everything regarding the health and wellbeing of our native animals that we don't even HAVE rabies in australia, which is honestly a huge fucking accomplishment. like THAT is how seriously we take the health and wellbeing of our native animals.

so if anyone HAS a native australian animal as a pet outside of australia i generally side eye the fuck out of them because. how'd you get it cunt? from where, and from whom, and how long ago, and at some point was an animal smuggled out of australia for a person's enjoyment, whether it was the parents, grandparents etc.? do you know the answers to any of those questions at all? do you understand that the animal you have as a pet is more than likely endangered here in australia, especially after the 2020 fires which caused so many animals to die, go extinct, and become endangered pretty much within the span of just a few months? like idk about ppl in other countries and their opinion or whatever but as an aussie that shit boils my blood like nothing else and i know i'm not the only aussie who feels that way, and wish more people realised how fucked the whole situation actually was and would stop caving to sensitive american's feelings about the subject. like yeah. i think if you own a native australian animal in america or any other country, that somewhere down the line something wrong happened. because at least here in australia, there are permits and licences and generally good reasons for said animals being in captivity, and some animals are just straight up prohibited from ever being owned in any way, such as kangaroos and sugar gliders (unless they're in a zoo). but in other countries it's the fuccking wild west and you can do whatever you want. and idk how to tell you this but. that's not a good thing at all.

Every morning, the fight tree behind our house is filled with black birds.

Here are some male black birds. I know some see them as a pest, but I think their cute :)

It has been a while since I completed a full watercolour. 😊 They always take me much longer to accomplish compared to my quick sketches and designs.

Decided a few weeks ago since I had more time to paint this one. Excited that I managed to finish it.

Everyone look at this adorable little dude who was just outside my house!

He was only about 3 inches in length and I think he's an Eastern Spinebill

I am SO sure that my local kookaburra knows I’m obsessed with him because anytime I hear him or see him in my backyard I’m running and pressing my face (and phone camera) to the glass with the giddiest smile on my face.

Also he’s looked right at me with all the judgement a bird with mocking laughter for birdsong can have. I love him.

Fandom Peeps to Get to Know Better

@kkoraki Thanks for tagging! :3 Oh my GOD I forgot how many Marguerite O'Henry books we read independently. Every time I think of horse breeds I think of Justin Morgan and King of the Wind; and Misty of Chincoteague lives in my head rent free.

3 Ships You Like: Hmm. I really don't ship anymore, other than OCs. Fallen London is kind of bereft of in-game ships; it's all OC/game chars. Harvestar's Sunless Skies Amelia/Driver is awesome though. Maybe Paul/Chani in honor of Dune 2 coming out? So many fucking problems with that ship, lol. Hm. Jesper/Wylan from Six of Crows 'cause I can't think of another ship.

First Ship Ever: Jenna/Balto from Balto. :') Actually no, if we're going REALLY far back, it would've been adult!Napoleon/Nancy from the Napoleon movie 1995 which was my FIRST FORAY INTO FANFIC and I started looking online for 'places to post stories'. God, I forgot about that. If I'd been older when I was into Call of the Wild I probably would've shipped Dave/Buck. Listen. I had a very active imagination and was trapped indoors with a bunch of books. What do you want from me?

Last Song You Heard: Eastward of Eden by Amelia Day on repeat.

Favorite Childhood Book: Call of the Wild got banned to the box because I read it so much. :') Otherwise: Girl with the Silver Eyes, by Willo Roberts.

Currently Reading: Hoping to pick up Neverwhere this week!

Currently Watching: Mashle (anime)

Currently Consuming: Large Earl Grey, hot

Currently Craving: Something for Dinner ((I am not picky))

Tagging: @harvestar, @ardenrosegarden Keeping it short but if anyone else would like to do it, please do!!

#I totally forgot my Nancy/Napoleon story existed. God that was incredible of 8 year old me. I was like you know what this Aussie #dog needs is to go back to the outback with his bird buddy and dingo girlfriend. I did NOT learn the lesson I was supposed to #from that movie lmfao. Also the fact I remember Dave's name from Call of the Wild?????? #If nobody else remembers Dave he was one of the rear dogs from the mail team who got sold to the rich dumbasses with Buck. #He was an older dog and one of the first ones to die when they stopped feeding them. It was really sad. I'd totally write a oneshot #for him and Buck where instead of dying they run away and end up in the wild or with a retired miner together. #I named a stuffed animal after Dave. :( RIP Dave.
