#(or at least parroting them)

As someone who is mythology nerd, an ace attorney enjoyer, and a parrot lover

The name Apollo has. Diverse meanings to me

If big Leo, Sprout and Poptart were birds what kinda birds would they be?

(Totally not asking because I like your bird art)

Oh my GOSH ive been pondering this question for hours and hours but I think I finally have an answer-

I was originally thinking about the whole worlds worth of species before realizing, in the end they are all Leos. Therefore they all get to be Parrots. I love parrots...

----

Big Leo: Lear's Macaw

Basically the smaller, cuter, and more light blue version of the Hyacinth Macaw (Hyacinth macaw being the largest parrot species that is capable of flight)

---

Medium Leo (Sprout): Spix Macaw

Yes. The bird from Rio. Look at them. None of them are left in the wild but their are a good few remaining in captivity

---

Little Leo (Poptart): Quaker/Monk Parakeet (blue mutation)

He is just a little guy. A little stinker, even. Enjoys shitting on your laptop and eating the keys off your keyboard. But he is very cuddly-

I was feeling like a bit of slightly-angsty isolation this thursday, so...

AU where, instead of a double transmigration happening, RokSoo transmigrated to ogCale's body, but ogCale was put into a newly made double of his body and confined into a dimension pocket.

And just, no one knows about it and he can't get out until certain conditions are reached. For example: that someone finally gets rid of WS.

Luckily for him, RokSoo and company are rather fast to kill the white star. It only took them two years, way better than in his previous timeline.

Although, those are still two years in which og!Cale, the 40-year-old war soldier turned an 18-year-old time-traveler, had to spend trapped in that place. Completely alone except for the occasional god checking on him, and a few animals a god had the kindness to let for him. (It was Loki, but no one is going to call him out).

Og!Cale is a person who loves easily and deeply but, contrary to his true nature, someone who lived through decades without deep boundaries to gave him feedback. Whether it was during the war that took everyone he knew from him, or before that, with the family he choose to stay at distance and love them from the side-lines. He lived so long without feeling genuine care, making any emotional bond that isn't one-sided, that he's hungry for them.

Being in the past, where everyone he loves hadn't died yet, where they will live, and being so close— just a dimensional door away, really— but not being able to see them, hear them, nor even talk to them... It hurts.

He's happy and so, so glad. They're alive. They can laugh and eat and breath again— and, someday, he will see them again. Even if they don't know how to act with him and is uncomfortable. Even if, most probably, they don't know he's not there and don't miss him, he will see them again.

So, yeah, he's fine with this situation. He accepted this.

That doesn't mean that the waiting doesn't suck. He, a freedom loving person, trapped in the godly version of a safehouse. Most of the days it's only he, his thoughts and the ridiculous massive library Athena managed to fit in here. And his friends, the animals, of course.

Inside of that lonely place, of course, Cale gets attached to the animals that are by his side everyday. He was already an animal lover, to begin with. The little guys who just go through their lives being absolutely adorable and are more loyal than most people around... How can he not love them?

Besides, Athanasia, the griffin, gives the best cuddles he has ever had.

He gets used, eventually. It's not like he never had lived in a big house where the only beings around wouldn't speak more than three words to him. (Well, at least the animals try to talk with him. He just needed to learn what they mean.)

And Cale can do whatever he wants here. If he wants to play the violin or paint, do acrobatics or keep his training, he can just do it. There's no need to hide. No need to restrain himself.

There's no one here to get sad at her memories. No one to spread rumors about 'skills' or 'talents'. No one to turn his interests into weapons against his own family by comparing Bassen to him.

Eventually, it feels like a different kind of freedom here.

—And then he gets out.

I have to be so honest and vulnerable with you for a second. I keep thinking of getting another complete works of Shakespeare

this rewatch of sdmi has been wild because once you start taking the talking animals and their place in the worldbuilding seriously it's just like oh wow this is some real final fantasy plot huh. what do you mean the resident discriminated-against beastfolk are not only descended from ancient otherworldly beings masquerading as gods, and not only driven insane even more effectively than non-beastfolk by a curse because of their heritage, and not only serve as apocalyptically powerful vessels for those otherworldly beings, but are easy to read as having been created specifically because they're more powerful vessels than normal animals, and then abandoned to their own devices (being enslaved) for thousands of years until the next time their creators pop into this reality and want a convenient corporeal form to snatch. which game in the series is this

also the depth the interiority that idle rambly monologue of the dr's holds, the fact that his offhand thoughts just coalesce into this wonderfully stark image (the tardis, revered, the tardis, reviled, the tardis, the center of a city and then all alone again at the edge of a sea)

[acrobattack]

i think it’s fun that blossom and buttercup butt heads the most vs brick who targets boomer and more or less gets along swell with butch

Weekly DIY Politics

Are you a resident of Scotland?

Do you live in a Labour constituency (bonus points if it's one they recently gained from the SNP)?

Do you oppose the two-child benefit cap?

Have you contacted your MP to express your disappointment over Labour's current actions (or lack of action) in this area?

Consider doing so now!

we're really reinforcing the "beatrice as a way out of suspecting anybody" thing aren't we

A PET PIGEON?! that's sick af. Love it. So cute. What's their name?

Her name is Indy! I’m well aware pigeons aren’t common pets, but I love birds, and I don’t have a super favorable view on parrots as pets. She’s also a rescue. Most likely a lost/trashed racer but I’ll never know for sure.

She’s damn smart and loves just hanging out while I do stuff; Little sky rat lives a good life. I’m glad to give it to her.

Idk if you guys realize how mentally unwell you look when you unironiclaly upload to the internet a post where you spit a pre-chewed opinion criticizing group A for saying "Group B must die violently because they deserve it" and then end up with a "and that's why Group A must die violently because they deserve it"
