#; the coyote and the magpie

[namu-the-orca]

Early 2018 I made daily drawings for a little while. Photo studies scribbled in the edge of my notebook, with a short something about the day. I wasn't in the best of places back then. A few days ago I came across that notebook again. I still love those drawings so I wanted to share some with you. Perhaps they can mean something to you too.

Me

Hi.

I am a therian, My theriotypes are Coyote, Crow, and Sea Wolf (May Change)

Yes I know I am not physically an animal, I feel as though I am in the wrong body. And do have phantom shifts*

I am Non-Binary/Agender but often present myself as Fem and am Ok with She/Her pronouns

I do Quads, wear gear, and enjoy vocals. I live near a forest and go to the Oregon Coast every summer.

I have been awakened since September 2023

I am interested in Taxidermy, bones, and other things of the sort.

If you do Not support me then please DNI. All hate will be ignored.

*Phantom Shift A form of shifting were you feel as though you have a part of your body that isn't there. ex. phantom tail, phantom paws, or phantom ears are most common

A gift i made for my sibling

[enkays-den]

Hermits as birds from where they live/were born!

note: my knowledge is centered around North American birds, so sorry if the european ones aren't super accurate

Bdubs: Northern Saw-Whet Owl. He's just a little guy with big eyes. Small and evil, love him

Cub: Common Starling. Skulk like-iridescence, incredibly friendly. Plus, with Cub running the horn store this season, he NEEDED to be the bird that can imitate pretty much any noise it hears

Doc: Bonelli's Eagle. Large raptor found in Germany. It's straight "brow" and hunched posture remind me of Doc

Etho: Common Loon. THE! CANADIAN! BIRD! Despite being "common", their pattern is simply EXQUISITE Plus, it has a red eye! Also listen to the noises these things make, it's literally stock nature sounds all in one bird. Also, I'd put Etho on my one dollar coin.

False: Barn Owl. Very elegant owl, I just feel it suits her, that's all. Very stately posture.

Gem (Season 10 specifically): Great Blue Heron. It's a fisher, it's blue, it's menacing, what more could you ask for?

Scar (Hotguy): Double-crested Cormorant: A waterfowl bc scar did competitive swimming, it's got a slightly funky shape which I feel suits scar's personality. It also has the Hotguy colors!

Grian: Eurasian Bullfinch. Parrot Grian will not reign supreme. Look at that little guy. He's mischievous, he's red, I do not trust him.

Hypno: Stellar's Jay. My provincial bird! I just think both have very chill and cool personalities

Jevin: Lazuli Bunting. Just a little blue guy!

Impulse: American Goldfinch. Black and yellow, need I say more?

Iskall: Booted Eagle. Something about a stout raptor just feels right. Look at that posture. Reminds me of when Iskall tries to copy the brits' accents.

Joe: Turkey Vulture. Although seen as odd or menacing, all vultures are integral to the local ecosystem and are in actuality, very elegant and gentle birds.

Keralis: Boreal Owl. Yes, I did make the two guys with big eyes owls, What of it? LOOK at him. Put a little hardhat on him, put a little hawiian shirt on him. Precious sweet face.

Mumbo: Avocet. It's basically a vibe check and a mustache joke.

Peal: Black Swan. Big 5AM Pearl vibes. Giant, beautiful, protective. Love that for her.

Ren: Giant Kingfisher. Obligatory King Ren joke, it's a South African bird, and it's kinda goofy looking. I think the speckled feathers look like a ruffled fur collar on a king's cape.

Skizz: Golden Eagle. Large, majestic, hella strong, and he's wearing pants :3

Joel: Tree Swallow. Very small, beautiful, agile bird. The swallow's wings remind me of Asian art styles.

Stress: Magpie. GOR-JUS and LOUD. Imagine her next to Iskall (they're very similar in size, bless them)

Tango: Swainson's Hawk. I fought every bone in my body to not make an Arizona Cardinals joke when I already made a Phoenix Coyotes one maybe half an hour before. The Swainson's hawk is on the smaller size, but still a deadly spitfire, which I think suits Tango

TFC: Brown Pelican. A solitary bird, definitely a rare sighting. TFC was always joking about how much he would eat, I thought a pelican was apt

Beef: Barred Owl. MY FAVORITE OWL. I literally call them 'round beefy boys' and they're just so sweet and I love them

Wels: American Kestrel. I LOVE these little guys. Simply the smallest, cutest and beautiful falcon there is. They're about the size of a pigeon. It's just got such a regal posture despite being a little cutie.

XB: Rock Pigeon. Despite being common and seen as a "dumb pest", they are pretty intelligent, there's a reason they were used to carry messages around. They're also a close relation to doves! The green collar also is like the jacket collar on his skin.

Xisuma: Semipalmated Plover. X and Mumbo were both chosen because of how those birds run on the beach. They're RIDICULOUS. This subspecies is exclusively because it look like he's wearing a little helmet.

Zedaph: Firecrest. Just the GOOFIEST little guy I found on the wiki of British birds. Look at that thing /aff. Also, Zed do be blowing up a lot

Cleo: Partridge. Beautiful bird, looks like they want to kill you in your sleep, just like Cleo.

Ughh another night of hearing coyote yips and howls in this distance and then some serious thunder and lightning

God please I hope he's just holding out somewhere

I really really really really hope he's being stubborn. Today will be about a week since the door got open, and it sounds like this is getting to the point where starvation makes a cat move out of hiding

The ring camera didn't detect anything last night which I believe since the food bowl in front of it was intact... Although it didn't trigger for the 6 magpies who started eating the food around sunrise which is concerning.

Fuck. I miss my Tib so much. Goddammit.

slightly belated birthday gift for @uzon!!! accompanying story after the break

Once there was a Coyote. By many names she went, and nicknames many more, but we'll not hamper ourselves with that, and simply The Coyote she will be. She was often accompanied by her faithful friend, Bishop the Cat, and they both very much enjoyed their lives in the grasslands of what is now claimed to be Alberta, Canada.

One day, while walking through the bushes, the Coyote saw a magnificent magpie. This was no ordinary magpie either, it was a giant and magical magpie, the Coyote noticed. Slowly sneaking behind the bushes, the Coyote managed to snap a picture of the Magpie, then another and another. The Coyote became at ease and, too soon, snapped a branch behind herself. The Magpie roared "Who is there", and approached the bushes where the Coyote was hiding. "Too late", thought the Coyote, a mere moment before finding herself face to face with this ominous, but not any less fascinating, creature. The Magpie stared into her eyes, then to the camera and back into her eyes, and the coyote let a rather boastful smile take over her face as she understood what was going on inside the Magpie's head. Bishop the Cat, who had been hiding in the bushes up until now and just happened to gather up his courage, came and hissed bravely at the Magpie, who stood in confusion as to why such a tiny beast would challenge her, who was godlike in comparison. The Coyote took the opportunity to get up and run, while laughing and taunting the Magpie "Yes, I stole your spirit with the picture camera, dear Magpie - and I'm going to frame it and hang it on my bedroom wall!"

Having stolen the likeness of the Magpie's spirit with the picture camera and finding herself being chased by the giant Magpie, the Coyote used her own magic to turn into something similar to a snake or a lizard, even larger than the Magpie, covered in splendid hues that lured the curious Magpie back as she tried to fly away. It seems some of the Coyote's - now Snake - magic spilled onto her faithful friend, Bishop the Cat, for he grew many times as well; but that was no disadvantage, no, much on the contrary, and they both put on chase to the Magpie, who was just the size of an ordinary bird by now, at least for them.

"Give me back my picture", screamed the magpie, "I had such a silly face when you pressed the shutter button!"

Okay so symbiotic relationship between wolves and ravens, right? Ravens help lead wolves to prey, alert them to scavengers like coyotes and in return the ravens get easy meals.

In a superhero scenario, wherein Danny is not the dominant hero in an area, he could fulfill the raven niche. If we put him in Gotham, for example, the Bat Clan becomes his wolf pack. He gets to kickback and chill, mostly stress free in a safe place and occasionally help out the local heroes. Based on your headcanon he either feeds off the emotions, it satisfies his Obsession, or it just gives him something constructive to do with his time. Depending on whether he keeps to himself as a benevolent enigma or joins the flock he could provide tips, protection, help with investigations or even more.

(I know 'Raven' is already taken in DC by Rachel Roth but who would argue if the Bats just so happened to acquired another bird? And ravens are messengers of death so who really has the better name claim? I mean we could also call him Crow or Magpie and it would be cool but then the Wolf/Raven symbolism wouldn't work :/ )
