Be My Valentine
Just some Zipper and River being cute and queerplatonic on Valentine's Day.
Zipper probably would've ignored Valentine’s Day if it wasn't for River. To them, the holiday was just a dumb excuse for couples to do gross, romantic stuff with each other and shove it in everyone else’s faces. But River thought of it more as celebrating all kinds of love, especially friendship. When he was a kid, he loved exchanging little cards with the other kids at the Foundation and getting candy—which was something, of course, that Zipper never really got to experience. Zipper had to admit, River’s version of Valentine’s Day sounded a lot nicer than everyone else’s take on it. The idea of celebrating it with River, just as friends, sounded kinda fun.
And yet they felt inexplicably nervous as they sat on the couch with their gift for him, waiting for him to get home from work. The gift was stuffed unceremoniously into the only gift bag they could find, with the edges peeking out, and even though River wasn't even here yet, they already felt self-conscious about the whole thing. They weren't sure if he was going to like it, and they probably should’ve gotten something to actually wrap it with while they were out, and he probably didn't get them a big gift, either, so what if this made him feel bad?
They took a deep breath and blew it out slowly. It's fine, you're good, don't overthink it. Then they heard the key in the front door, and their heart rate skyrocketed anyway.
River appeared in the doorway a minute later, holding a brown paper bag. “Happy Valentine’s Day!”
Zipper shoved the gift bag behind their back and smiled. “Happy Valentine’s Day,” they said, eyeing the bag in River’s arms. “Is that for me?”
“Yep!” He sat down and dug around in the bag before producing a small red envelope. He presented it to them with a grin on his face.
They opened the envelope and slid out the card. On the front was a cartoony picture of a bird. You make my heart sing! it said across the top. They laughed. “Aww, that's corny.”
River was almost bouncing with excitement. “Open it!”
The text in the card just said Happy Valentine’s Day! Underneath, in River’s handwriting, it said, To my best friend in the whole world! I love you! Love (again), River.
A warm feeling flooded Zipper’s chest. They didn't know what to say, so they went with, “Aw, thanks, River.”
He beamed, and then deposited the paper bag in their lap. Inside were multiple bags of sour gummies. “I got all your favorites,” he said.
They gasped. “Even the sour gummy bears!” Those were always sold out when Zipper went to look for them.
He shrugged, trying to look humble. “I got lucky.”
They put the bag aside on the coffee table. His gift was so nice, and it made them even more nervous about theirs. “I got you something, too.” They couldn't make eye contact as they shoved the gift bag towards him. “Sorry about the wrapping. But you said you didn't have any Valentinesy clothes to wear, so …”
It was pretty obvious what was in the bag, but River politely took out the card wedged in the side first. It had a cartoon picture of a fish on it that said, You're my favorite fish in the sea, except Zipper crossed out the word sea and wrote river instead. On the inside they just signed their name. River laughed. “Aww, that's cute, thank you!” Then he turned to the bag, and Zipper couldn’t look.
He gasped as he pulled the sweater out of the bag. It was loosely-knit and light pink—not the type of thing River would usually wear, but something that Zipper thought (hoped) he might like. Out of the corner of their eye, they watched him hold it up in front of him. “Oh, it’s so cute!” Almost immediately, he pulled it on, his blond head popping out from the neck. He beamed at them. “I love it!”
They grinned, feeling relieved. They were worried it wouldn’t fit, but the sleeves fell past River’s wrists; it was perfectly oversized. He looked adorable in it, and Zipper found themself blushing as they rubbed the back of their neck. “Yeah, I just saw it at the thrift store and thought …”
“I’m gonna go look in the mirror.” River practically leapt off the couch and rushed to the bedroom. Zipper laughed as they trailed behind him. He was acting like a little kid; he hardly ever got this excited.
In the bedroom, River twisted in front of the full-length mirror, admiring the sweater. He smiled at their reflection behind him. “This is so sweet.” He hugged himself, then twirled around to face them. “Thank you, Zipper! Can I hug you?”
They nodded, and he embraced them. They rested their chin on his shoulder and inhaled. “You smell like thrift store.”
“Oh, yeah. I’ll have to wash it, I guess.” He squeezed them before pulling away. “This is so nice.”
“It looks cute on you.”
The compliment made him blush. “Thanks.” His eyes flickered away in embarrassment, but then settled back on Zipper. “Can I kiss you?”
They nodded, and they felt their own face flush as he gently took their face in his hands and kissed their cheeks. “You’re very excited today,” they murmured, letting their eyes flutter shut.
His thumbs brushed their cheeks. “Well, I like Valentine’s Day—and I like you.” He paused, then quickly added, “As a friend, of course.”
“Of course.” They’d been over that enough times; Zipper trusted River to be honest about his feelings. They settled their hands on his waist. “I’m glad you’re having fun.”
They felt his lips curve into a smile against their cheek. “And I’m glad you’re here to celebrate with me.”
They couldn’t help rolling their eyes. “You’re so sappy.” But, when his lips finally wandered over to theirs, they gladly kissed him back.

Honeycreepers? 👀
YAYYYYY YAY THANK YOU FOR ENABLING ME
alright so honeycreepers are these really cool birds native to the islands of Hawai‘i and they are INTERESTING. so many reasons why but one of them is that they have some extreme adaptations to their environment. famously extreme.
this is an Asian rosefinch
Tumblr media
specifically a Chinese white browed rosefinch but that's not important. this is a rosefinch.
now a long LONG time ago, a rosefinch from Asia made an huge flight from Asia to the islands of Hawai‘i. this rosefinch species became the ancestor of a HUGE variety of birds.
evolution like this is pretty common. islands are a hotspot for evolution because of the isolated and unique environments. I could talk so much about that. anyways what's incredible about this is that the descendants look like this
Tumblr media
ADAPTIVE RADIATION!
Rosefinches were one of 14 species of birds who originally settled on the islands, and make up the islands native bird species. the islands were pretty new and had very little diversity so there was a LOT of work to do
with so many niches to fill, these birds got to work. they took up roles in the ecosystem that were taken by other animals on the mainland. over time they started to evolve, emphasizing certain traits that allowed them to fill these new roles better.
take for example the ‘I‘iwi. the ‘I‘iwi is this angel
Tumblr media
when the rosefinch arrived, there were no bees, so one of the roles they needed to fill was that of pollination. this bird evolved a long curved beak via coevolution (alongside the flowers of the islands) this allows them to reach deep inside the flowers to get nectar, and the flower will have it's sexual organs positioned to leave pollen on their foreheads. then they go to the next flower and deposit it and boom! pollination! the shape also makes it less straining to reach in.
another example: ‘Akiapōlā‘au, ‘Aki for short.
Tumblr media
LOOK AT THAT BEAST. anywyas this one fulfills a fantastic and essential role: a woodpeckers.
which like. ??? with that beak???? but yeah. as you can see the bottom mandible is very straight and solid, not unlike a woodpecker. how they do it is they open up wide, angle their upper mandible out of the way and hit the bottom one against the wood of the tree! they look like they're screaming : )
they're very effective too! like the sapsuckers, which are woodpeckers, they'll peck holes into trees and use them as sap well, which are also used by other birds as well
the other honeycreepers are similar, adapting to fill the roles of warblers (insectivores) or to eat fruit and nuts. its fascinating and a beautiful example of evolution and adaptation and it is so damn cool
most of the information here was taken from this book by Douglas Pratt and the information and knowledge I knew from before. mostly from the book though.
DISCLAIMER. I am not a biologist I am an enthusiast. if I got something wrong tell me. anywyas thanks for letting me ramble I LOVE BIRDS

#junnie 🦊#i love him so much it hurts 😞💘#happy yeonjun day everyone 💞#i fell in love head first from the moment i saw him in runaway mv </3 no one’s surprised bdfhghdgh#he’s chaotic and all (literally my polar opposite) but he’ll always be my kpop comfort boy 🥺💗#junnie has made me smile and laugh in times i thought i was incapable of doing so :(#i also re-watch his old vlives because i’m in love with him and watching him gives me so much peace and happiness </3#more than often i feel the urge to just go *nom nom* but sometimes i simply want to throw my hands at him... let’s not talk about that tho#i want to be all wholesome and lovey-dovey today#if my heart is imagined as a large home... i’d say yeonjun is that guy who’s everywhere. like; he has never stayed in a specific place#+ since the day he entered. why? well... the love i hold for him is kind of like a rushing river from the mountains.#however i’d say that the water is gentle despite it’s rush to meet the sea or maybe another river.#he’s the type of person who gets more and more lovable as you get to know about him 🥰#and the river in my heart reaches the nooks and crannies i didn’t know existed in the first place...#loving him is like walking barefoot on the grass and bathing in the early rays of the morning sun#the calming sound of the river flowing by and some unknown bird singing sweetly can also be heard#i hope he is always happy. no matter what happens. i hope he knows that he is so so loved.#i wish i could hug him and tell him how much he means to me ☹️#choi yeonjun... you’re light years away from what people think/say about you.#i love him :(#didn’t wanna cry but is anyone even mildly surprised?

Ooookay, random OC thought is random, but I've just decided that on top of being able to play ukelele, harmonica, and Jew's harp, Jasper is also an amateur tap dancer.
What can I say? He's a young man with quite a few talents.

Drowning Siren - @rogerswifesblog
The Avengers found an old abandoned HYDRA base, that had been cleared after HYDRAs existence had been exposed. At least they thought it was cleared. It was the biggest experimental lab they had ever seen, the closest base to the ocean, full with creatures-dead creatures. Some of them laid still on tables, stripped with metal cuffs, open and already rotting. It was an awful smell. But then they heard something beautiful. A melody, a beautiful voice singing unbelievably gentle sounds. Walking into the building full with ocean creatures, they had no idea their life was about to change.
Vampire Kings Religion - @marvelcriminalhoe
In a world where fantasy beings roam every corner, the humans are on the bottom. Looked at as weak and disgraceful. The vampires are the opposite. They rule the land, and all of the creatures that take part of it. the current ruler, King Steven, has ruled for more than 150 years, alone. After many nights, and long talks with his most trusted hands, he comes to the long awaited decision that he will finally, take a wife. All female creatures, are to be evaluated, so he can find his perfect match. Of course, no one expects for him to choose a human. Especially not one from the church. Especially not the daughter, of the leader, of the church. The same church that detests the mythical creatures, wishing for nothing more than for them to perish in fire. How could this union possibly end well?
Ride And Prejudice - @pagesoflauren
A take on Pride & Prejudice, certain circumstances in your life have led you to take refuge and work in a farm village, particularly on the ranch owned by Steve Rogers. He doesn’t take kindly to you, having bad perceptions about city folk. Your only reaction to that is the one you deem acceptable: get annoyed at every little thing he does whilst doing your best to annoy him and still keep your job.
Love On The Brain - @howardpotts
You’re just a student, living her normal daily life in New York. One night changes everything, without you even knowing. Steve Rogers slowly introduces you to his world full of money, drugs and voilence. But are you able to handle what he has to offer? (MobBoss!Steve Rogers)
Flamingo King - @onsunnyside
The sun is brutal this summer, especially in Flamingo Trailer Park, the land of big hearts and cheap tricks, you’ve been here for years unlike your “new” neighbour, Ari. He’s older, bigger, and intimidating, the local rockstar, and you, well, aren’t you just the sweetest girl in the whole damn city?
Make It A December To Remember - @imyourbratzdoll
AGE AND SIZE DIFFERENCE IS ADDED TO ALL! SANTA AND THE GRINCH ARE LARGER THAN THE READER! THE ELVES ARE THE SIZE OF HER PALM! (a chris evans xmas universe)
This Love Is Bad - @wildestdreamsblog
You were just trying to escape your past, and Ari was trying to chase his future.
Nowhere To Run - @sagechanoafterdark
On the last day that Steve spent in your small town before heading off to basic training for the army, he made sure it was one you wouldn’t ever forget. Years later when he appears in your town he seems like a changed man in more ways than one, but you’re ready to show him that you’ve never forgotten that day. (Dark!Steve Rogers+ Bucky Barnes)
Nice To Be Kneaded - @rogersideup
Almost every news station in the country was covering the chase for the missing superheroes post-raft-escape following the Civil War. Steve Rogers face had been plastered on the cover of every news paper, fliers stapled to street lamps, posted on bulletin boards in what felt like every coffee shop in the country. It had been just a few long months shy of a year, just long enough to grow out his hair and beard to make himself as unrecognizable as he could manage. Though he was still the poster boy of disorder within the states, he found himself in the scanty town of Greenwood in the house right next to yours.
Forever And Ever More - @syntheticavenger
Ransom Drysdale may be Boston’s most eligible Alpha who has his eyes set on you. With his inheritance hanging in the balance, he won’t take no for an answer, whether you like him or not.
Hackers Heart - @bakugousaysdie
steve rogers has always been america’s golden boy, leading earth’s mightiest heroes and serving his country. you have always been bad with boundaries, a little too curious, and an absolute disruption. you are an absolute menace,so it’s only right you fell in love with the most adored man in the country.
Arranged - @time-for-a-lullaby
Living in this life, you’ve never gotten to have much say in anything. What you wear, who you hang out with, and now, who you marry and you’re dreading your arranged marriage to the Italian mob boss, Chris Evans. Expecting to suffer through a life of abuse while being kept under lock and key, you’re pleasantly surprised when Chris is nothing like you expected. He’s the most feared man on the East Coast, only brought to his knees by one thing and one thing only. You.
