Might as well use this account for something. Here's:

My Wingweavers headcanon list

because i love birds

Nothing fancy, some things might not make sense. I like birds a normal amount

If I get anything wrong about bird biology, I'm sorry. I usually study bird behaviour, not bodies.

They have very sharp and bulky teeth.

It is common in their culture to eat with their hands to feel more connected to their meal. At large feasts or gatherings, it's usually more common to eat with cutlery in case you need to interact or do something with your hands and don't have the time or abilities to clean your hands quick enough, but eating with your hands is still an option.

Back in Muldrasil (rip), those who dissented against Yaoshi were exiled down to live with the residents of the dirt. If they did not go willingly, their wings were cut.

VERY big on dance and song culture. Many had at least some kind of skills in performance and any special occasion called for a flight dance.

Bells and long ribbons commonly tied to wings, body, and tail as decoration for dancing.

Sleeping piles were surprisingly common, even among the hymn-singers and sky-defenders.

Little body hair. Instead, they had rings of down feathers on the neck, ankles, wrists, back, and sometimes on the chest. Presence and amount of these feathers HEAVILY depended on genetics. Most commonly feathered place is the back where the wings connect, there's typically enough to cover the seam between wings and skin entirely. In winter, extra feathers grow in and Wingweavers get very puffy. Once it gets warmer, these feathers fall out. Majority consider these falling feathers a nuisance, but some might gather their down feathers and stuff pillows with them.

The base of the wings, the skin near it, and the underside of the wings are erroneous zones.

Wingweavers mate for life, and are incredibly loyal to their mate. Doesn't mean they don't have splits sometimes. There's no separation between "dating" and "married" in their culture. If you're a pair, then you're a pair. If you split, then you're split.

They go through heat. (fuck you I make the rules here). More specifically, they get incredibly hormonal. It's a mixture of mammalian heat and the avian hormone season. During this time, they can get intense nesting instincts. This includes building a typical cup nest inside a private house nest, increased aggressiveness, and stocking up on food. These urges can be suppressed by some, but can cause great stress depending on the Wingweaver, so this is considered a valid reason to skip duties. Special fake eggs are sold to mimic the warmth of real eggs so that struggling Wingweavers can have something to direct their urges onto to get through this period. They are affected by light levels like birds, that's what triggers all this.

They are able to make a large variety of whistles, trills, squawks, etc. to communicate. They prefer speaking, but when sharing information quickly and over long distances, they use the bird noises. This can only share basic information, it's difficult to get into specifics. Basically like Toki Pona in terms of vagueness.

They lay eggs. Only one at a time though, sometimes two or three. Laying 2-3 eggs is slightly more common than having twins or triplets as a human. The eggs are about the size of a healthy human newborn's head.

Yes, the babies look like what you're imagining.

In general, egg laying and reproduction and stuff is a very awkward mix of human and bird. They can lay infertile eggs if the conditions are right, but medication can be provided and precautions can be taken to stop this. It's unnecessarily taxing on the body and makes them extra broody when they could be working.

On a similar note, they also poop like birds. There's no "pee or poo", it's "pee AND poo". Weight and flight reasons.

MATING RITUALS. God, they love their dances and songs.

Nests (as in, house nests) were only really used for sleep. As soon as the sun rises, majority of Wingweavers would be out and about. Wingweavers generally love the outdoors, but it was also because of the dust caused by their feathers. No one wants to sit in a dusty room, so they are indoors as little as possible.

Meteorhammers and Ropedarts were the most common Wingweaver-made weapons, though weapons stolen from other civilisations were usually preferred. Some did prefer to use the roped weapons, be that for traditions sake or a preference of technique. These were also used in dance.

Powerful voices, they can project very well.

Pirate themed, I like it so this is wishful thinking. As a result, a real-world accent a lot of them have is Bristolian (hahaha, projection,,,,,)

I'm saying that the Hurdy Gurdy comes from the Wingweavers. I make the rules.

They can't fly in place, they always have to be on the move in order to stay aloft. Weight doesn't let them hover.

They're dusty. As a result, they don't like being confined inside, since the dust accumulates and it's annoying.

On Muldrasil, their nests were just big enough for a pile of them to sleep, and were typically either dome nests or pendulum nests. If a cavity opened up inside Muldrasil, it would be converted into a communal rest space with lots of padding. From the last point, they don't spend much time in their nests aside from sleeping, so the nests aren't that big.

I don't think I've ever explicitly said they also have bird tails. This is me explicitly saying they also have bird tails.

They also don't have breasts. They don't produce milk for their young because they are born from eggs. Chest plumage can sometimes give the /appearance/ of breasts, but it never is actual breasts.

When threatened or aggravated, they hiss and puff up their wings.

Wing puffing is actually common in any intense emotion.

Please correct me if I got some bird stuff horribly wrong I LOVE LEARNING

Hes doing sciences

[aaadriann]

I WILL find a way to mix my interests together!!! I WILL!!!!!!! Octoling Viktor!!!  He’s very curious about the world and came to the surface after a while and wants to study EVERYTHING!! He also isn’t very great at being social so he tends to avoid it due to being a little nervous  He was definitely a very skilled scientist among the octoling ranks
