#thousand cranes

[straycalico]

Seeing his father and Fumiko's mother in the bowls, Kikuji felt that they had raised two beautiful ghosts and placed them side by side. The tea bowls were here, present, and the present reality of Kikuji and Fumiko, facing across the bowls, seemed immaculate too.

Whooping crane (Grus americana), a large crane species native to North America. Populations decreased after European settlement due to hunting and habitat loss, and in 1941 there were only 15 adults remaining in the wild. Thanks to decades of conservation work there are now over 500 in the wild and additional birds in captivity. You can read more about them from the USFWS here.

#id in alt #birds #whooping crane #endangered species #illustration #animal art #the best place to see them in winter is apparently aransas national wildlife refuge in texas #i was hoping to see a couple at wheeler nwr in north al -- there's usually a few & one had been spotted the day i was there #but i couldn't see any among the masses of sandhill cranes (which are also extremely cool! thrilled to see thousands of them and glad #that thousands of them exist)

OnlyOneOf x Maurice

Yoojung and Kyubin as Maurice and Clive seeking intimacy with each other

"He would not deceive himself so much. (...) He loved men and always had loved them. He longed to embrace them and mingle his being with theirs."

"All troubles over, and he wanted to drowse and waste time, and tease and make love."

"Stay with me. (...) It's a chance in a thousand we met. You know it. Why don't you stay?"

So this is my fundraiser for save the children and if this post gets 10,000 notes by the end of March I’ll make 1,000 paper cranes. (These are in addition to the ones I make in exchange for donations btw. Maybe I’ll get a more colourful paper to differentiate them or something idk.)

"The dead are our property, in a way. We must take care of them," said Kikuji. "But they all died in such a hurry."

@safestkittykatintown gets a plotted starter

When they'd been introduced at one of the Lockwood parties, there had been an undeniable connection between them. Magnolia had tried ignoring the fluttering feelings whenever they were around each other, knowing how inappropriate it was for her to think of another woman that way, but Katherine didn't seem to have any such hesitation. It hadn't taken long for them to steal a kiss when they were alone, and there was no going back after that.

As two young ladies, it was perfectly acceptable for them to be unchaperoned, which meant they could spend time alone together with no one questioning it. Still, that didn't mean Magnolia wasn't nervous whenever Katherine took liberties like holding her hand or brushing a curl back behind her ear. "My parents might see," she sighed, trying to ignore the way her fair, freckled cheeks immediately went red. "If my father finds out-- I don't want the asylum doctors to give me any more treatments, Katherine." Katherine was the only one who knew the truth about Magnolia, and how her parents had sent her away for two years to an asylum to be 'cured' of her delusions.
