#who released the birds

[finisnihil]

I need to train a bird and send it to spy on somebody who knows EXTENSIVE knowledge of HI3 lore and then when it comes back to report its findings to me I need to brutally snatch it out of the air mid-flight like a peregrine falcon and eat it and thus immediately absorb all its stolen knowledge so that I can understand even a sliver, even a fraction of what the FUCK IS GOING ON in HSR and what ANY of these references and allusions are and who the HELL any of these people showing up are. The fuck is Kevin? What’s up with your cane, Mr. Yang? I need to shred that fucking bird.

#honkai star rail #honkai impact 3rd #WHAT IS UP WITH THAT WRECHED CANE #WHAT IS ITS SECRETS #WHO IS KEVIN #WHAT IS KEVIN #AM I KEVIN? #IS KEVIN NOTHING BUT AN INCONSEQUENTIAL CONCEPT? #Finis how much sleep have you gotten- DON’T ASK YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW #Releasing my evil spy bird like go little Akuma and bring me lore #I need to have Tumblr taken away I can’t be trusted with it rn #2.1 is killing me dead don’t you see

Major arcana of the tarot asks || Accepting

― @izar-tarazed @necrophcge @yellowfingcr @miserycorde inquired: Just saw the headcanon question and I'm most curious about this one: ― 20.  judgement:  is your muse forgiving of themselves ? how about of others who wrong them?

In many ways, it is less about forgiving and more accepting things for what they are in terms of her own mistakes, not in some form of submission or surrender-- what's done is done, more like. What she did, knowing why she did it and why she won't take it back. It's done; nothing will change it-- not mourning it, not in hating it, nor in hating herself, even if she may have wanted things to be different at one point. That was at one point. So in that, there is a measure of a sort of self-forgiveness, a state of bitter sweet peace in recognizing it and moving away from it. At this current state, she has no interest in 'walking upon her knees' or 'self-flagellation' to achieve some inner acceptance and sanctum of peace. As such, she will carry it for what it is. So in a way? Somewhat, it's a nuanced thing that touches upon various self-perceptions she has. Given what she is, what does it mean to absolve others, what does it mean to truly forgive oneself in turn for something like her? It comes in the form of a sense of self-release and realization of a self-sustaining and self-destructive cycle that she had had enough. Now she lives in a peculiar state of release, a kind of uninhibitedness after having chipped away the last of some of her shackles imagined or otherwise. There is solace and wisdom gained from these experiences, learning from where she may have went wrong and how she was blinded by a mindset or set of choices she made. She knows her hands are dirty and won't pretend they aren't, besides the fact that her very nature is a designated 'sin', so what more does the sinner have than to accept and absolve those who have harmed far less than she? No matter how high she rises she knows where she stands -or stood- in the eyes of those who look upon her with disdain in a world that has already decided that she by extent is wrong. An aberration, an incorrect existence. For some already, she was written off as 'wrong' and 'undeserving' before she ever came to do anything beyond her expected station. She found her way to reclaim and revel-- a way to live beyond that grasp, a way to break what she was caged in long ago.

With that, a sense of liberation is achieved that offers her far more... so why hang herself up chasing some ideal or station she was never meant to be part of regardless? She is a crook in the grand design and she embraces that. She will carry on. She will learn, she will get better. So, let her be filthy-- and if they still know her let them hunt her, say what they will, let them come after her, let them chase her to the far ends if they even know her name and she will welcome them with open arms. They will come, perhaps they will always come, and she will not beg them for they will see her as nothing more. Come what may, she will persist-- but she will do so differently this time. She will redefine and take what she can hold and she will bring what she can to ruin so that she may build upon it anew.

As for others who have wronged her? Really depends on the nature of what was done and how. In many ways she is a much more vengeful presence in this version, but she isn't so gone as to be blinded totally in the way she once was, not like she was at the height of the Witch Knight era. That does not mean it's entirely gone from her, though. I'll break it down like this ―

What remains a sort of constant for her is that Helena has always had the ability to at least listen and consider the words of her enemy, even if it should end as it always does, in violence and 'death'. Maybe she'll even collect them once the act is said and done and take them all the same, but if they do take their chances to reach out, to speak to her then she will offer the grace of audience in return. If anything at all. For figures of her past? Some she will never forgive, and certain others she realizes -more than ever- that they are a product of circumstances, even if she can't always find it in herself to fully forgive let alone forget them. It may not even fully stop her from hunting some of them down in turn.

The shape of the world and the nature of it has made monsters of even once well-intentioned people. Some of these people are very much a product of this cycle of struggle and violence that ultimately had nowhere else to turn to, or they were so blinded by their own intents that they failed to see beyond it. She -in this way- isn't all that different at least in that regard to a certain extent. Although if one were to ask, she will tell you it was much more of a choice for her in the end.

For others that present a current threat that long to wrong her, harm her or harm those in her stead? It really is simple... She will remove them, it will be a death sentence, a hunt. Forgiveness is seldom.

#Confession || answer tag; #In which I ramble #time and act can make a difference-- but circumstances... #I do find these kinds of questions tricky because alot of it can be circumstantial and vary and what vs. what at different points and all #Part of this liberation stems from post death and return #Initially she did have a hard time settling into her strange state and even had a loose grasp of who she was #Let alone had no idea where to begin again #Alot of this she had to come around to on her own and with it; a further established sense of realization; release #and the sense of freedom that comes from that #You know on top of the fact that; she was dirty before she was ever dirty #take of that what you will #It is still interesting to me how this version of Helena is still somehow more 'free' and one of the happier versions of her #Which is something cause this role and what she is uh.. weighty #Some she will absolutely hunt down and GET and is much more inclined to this verse #locked and loaded-- drag'em by the antlers with her own #Part of it can even be strategic-- two birds one stone. #in some ways she has learned-- in others... well.. habits are hard to break #Anyway sorry if I'm a little all over the place and for the short wait #Passed out again last night and I am just now getting back to these #Thank you for sending one in! #The balance is a little more off kilter and on one hand she weighs these things has shifted #I am all over with this.. probably the sleep brain...

have become convinced there's no such thing as overanalyzing aot

#you know who overanalyzes aot? #isayama and isayama's creative team #in acwnr when isabel releases the white bird #the white bird that symbolizes hope and freedom #(there are so many examples and im already not shutting the fuck up) #the shot pans over to include levi #so just how farlan+isabel are represented as the white birds at the very end #levi is also a force for hope :((((((( #i think so anyway #call me crazy idc #kane says #aot #atack on titan #levi aot #acwnr

The Central Park Zoo released their full necropsy results for Flaco the owl the other day- four different rodenticides were found in his system alongside a pigeon-spread virus.

The poor owl. The people who protested and prevented his recapture under the idea that he was better off ‘free’ are largely responsible for this bird’s death- he should have been removed from the park and returned to the zoo as soon as possible.

#the zoo should have tried to catch him for longer but given the ridiculous amount of protesting and the amount of animal influencers #- insisting his ‘year of freedom’ was better than captivity I’m not surprised. and fuck the asshole who released him from his enclosure #- that person condemned this bird to an early death. #like. if people felt the zoo’s conditions were insufficient they should have protested that instead of *setting a non-native species loose #- in fucking NYC*. common sense people. common sense.

I love how Dario was like 'Yeah yeah the chandelier falls down. Whatever. I bet I could make the big setpiece of the movie more interesting' and he DID

#get outta here with your light fixture falling. we're getting a RAVEN ATTACK with BIRD POV #the assistant who facepalmed when the crow guy broke through the set and released the crows mid performance was SO mecore

[defendglobe]

she will be here for the next three days.

#just for the record: my brother is a trained professional who has worked with this particular bird for years #she can't be released into the wild bc of an injury that left her permanently unable to fly. she lives with an experienced falconer #who works with my brother at a bird observatory. the falcon is part of the observatory's educational program that does presentations at #schools and such. so this isn't some dickhead trying to keep a falcon as a pet without giving them proper care lmao #blah blah blah

I just wanted to say thank you for fighting for Paper Girls - it means a lot to see that this show matters to other people as much as it does to me. I hope you know that we’re all thinking of you!

I can’t not fight for it. Every single time I think of how much love and work went into it—how Prime fought off a ton of other services for the IP, just to hobble it before release—how these kids KILLED their performances, only to be unceremoniously dumped not two months after dropping…flames. Flames on the side of my face. It’s the most underdog of underdog fandoms I’ve ever been a part of, and it feels rough as hell out here, but I genuinely can’t let it go.

#ask #paper girls #mostly the fighting is happening over on Twitter because it doesn’t feel like streamers look over here much #so if there’s any chance of being heard it’s over on the hellish bird app #but like. yeah. can’t fucking let it go. I’m furious at how thoroughly this show was failed #by Amazon. by the release date. by intentionally burying it under bigger shows and zero marketing. #and especially for the cast and crew who gave it their all on a five dollar budget and pulled out an incredible fucking show #I’m so sick of queer and POC female stories being let down and cast aside #especially when they are genuinely Good #I keep seeing all the negative hot takes about how it’s not coming back and like. who knows. I still think it’s worth fighting for #even if it’s the smallest I’ve ever felt in loving something. I still love it hard.

so i finally watched Barbie..........

#the meme format is outdated sir but the point still stands #it was fine. superficial & fun like i anticipated but yeah it was literally just a toy commercial #the Good Guy Mattel CEO who is in the business because he cares about the dreams of little girls not money lmao lmao okay sure #i have yet to look up what merchandise mattel has released surrounding this film but you know every single old outfit/accessory featured wi #will be getting a convenient re-release🙄 #the plot was confusing and made little sense which id be able to forgive if it wasnt- as mentioned- a $145 million advertisement #i'll always be sapphicly imprinted on margot robbie for her work on birds of prey & she/others performed very well #but it is not enough to quell my holy war against ads & the capitalist hoggery they serve ☝

Man even though it took me a Hot Minute to get into Manhunt, just because of some of the stylistic choices (which I think made sense for the world of the book and worked, but weren’t my personal favorite to read) I think I literally have to read her new book. It’s also a horror, focused on a group of kids at an isolated conversion camp with the added element of there being SOMETHING in the surrounding wilderness, all of which sounds good...

but to be honest the main reason I’m so invested is literally just because it’s called Cuckoo, and based on the premise/cover I think that title definitely is rooted in the fact that Cuckoos, of course, are obligate brood parasites--they famously lay their eggs in the nest of other birds exclusively, and once that chick hatches faster than the host chicks, it pushes some or all of the other eggs out of the nest to monopolize the resources brought from the host parent. And I am SO interested in seeing how that comparison plays into the premise of the book and its possibility for some creature or imposter-based horror >:^D

#k talks #horror #horror books #upcoming releases #gretchen felker martin #^guy who LOVES horror and LOVES bird facts so so so so so much #my wish for this is some kind of beast impersonating one of the kids or something. i don't know if that'll actually happen BUT #I think the cuckoo comparison leads to some reaaaaallly interesting potential #ALSO manhunt was really good to be clear #by the end it made me cry like several times and was really impactful and just plain good horror #but I think I just took some time to get into the VERY visceral/bodily writing style of it due to personal preferences #even though again I think those choices made so so much sense for the book and added to the horror of it

The thought that were probably closer to Deltarune chapter 3 releasing then we are to when chapter 2 did it’s literally wild I could be playing chapter 3– 5 this time next year and I know that doesn’t sound like it’s close but you have to keep in mind, it’s been THREE years relatively a year is not that much compared to 3 to 4 and that’s just like it could’ve already been out for months by then who knows I certainly don’t

#Half baked thoughts of a bird #I swear normal about this #ryders rambles #deltarune #had to voice to text this because I am a brain wouldn’t let me type it #I think it’s hilarious that there’s a ton of people on here to follow me who I think are cool #And like they just see my goblin little self losing it over the possibility to the game I like might release sometime next year #It’s not even the full game #Hey #cool people. Yes I’m always like this

WHEW #anyways it was fun listening to discoholic and then going immediately into eliminate. banger tho #p sure both disco and nate will be on my spotify wrapped....dont know who will be n.1 but one of them sure will #sorry im rambling. anyways is the meme good is it funny is it serving #lmk #edm stuff #bird babbles #oh oh oh. also. #discoholic #elimimiminate #yes those are new tags do not look @ me

🙂‍↕️

hate that i'm still really unable to let go.

7 things i hate:

i told you about how when my baby sister went to prison it kind of buried my spirit and turned my life inside out. such a monumental formative turning point in my life for my soul and years of addictions and you were distracted by your dnd group on discord

the shaky uncertainty you left me with, not knowing if anything was ever real or if you ever meant any of the honeyed words you said

banning me from your house when your illinois dnd friends came to visit for actual days bc 'no one else had their partner around and we'll be playing'. it made me feel so so so insecure and unwanted (you have been in a relationship with one of your illinois chicago friends since june, a month after you broke up with me.)

making me believe that it was codependent for me to want to spend time with you more than a couple days a week. how you insisted that a 45 minute drive was long distance. my therapist says that isn't normal lol

you take pictures with your current partner and make them your profile pic over and over. we had one picture together and it was a group picture for your friend's birthday

you broke up with me over facebook messenger less than a day after sobbing into my arms about not wanting to lose me. you looked at me like i was a stranger, or perhaps an employee that you were dismissing. i didn't recognize the look in your eyes.

you bringing your roommate with you to my apartment to pick up your things. you looked sad and ashamed and her presence ensured that we wouldn't be able to talk about it. why didn't you want to talk about it? (also it pissed me off that you brought me the paperback copy of gideon the ninth that i gave you as a gift. it was a gift!! i have my own superior hardcover!)

(bonus! :) dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd dnd )

7 things i liked:

sweetly asking me if you could introduce me to your friends as your girlfriend at the solstice party

writing that you loved me on the stupid fish game at the aquarium for the first time for valentine's day

the way i would catch you sometimes just looking at me with such an incredible amount of love in your eyes that made my heart ache and made me feel safe

when you started leaving things here

my sweet dumpling

you referred to me as one of uzu's moms. (i wonder if he remembers me?)

holding me when i was feeling depressed and crying (did you know then how much it was breaking me when you kept me at arm's length? i asked if i was too much and you said no. that is one thing im certain was a lie. i broke my foot days after you left and the x-rays have shown that the bone has been healed since late summer but i am still in so much pain every day when i walk and it is so tied together with the hurt from that day and every step is a reminder. this brought me to my knees i am at my lowest and everything is slipping away lmfao)

idk this song is a banger that's all.

#personal #my attempt at journaling i guess #alexa play maisie peters run #i want to say like 'you avoidant ass bitch' but that seems so mean #but also who cares #avoidant and borderline in one person is like a lot #putting things in the world releases it from my head #why do birds fly

Hold on a sec I'm getting intensely emotional about tasmanian tigers and dodos and haast eagles and fucking almost everything from new zealand and carrier pigeons

#dont get me started about new zealand we ruined it we fucking ruined the most unique ecosystem ever where every animal niche besides like #one were all birds #theyre gone and its stupid and i wish humanity never fucking found nz #there were things there that NOTHING is similar to. grazing giant herbavore birds that were seemingly friendly and approachable #giant eagles that could carry away children if they wanted to #nothing else is like these! theyre gone! because the fucking idiots who got there decided hmmm i shall eat all the birds #and deforested everything else and released rats!
