cover them up slut

[abby118]

just wanted to say you're probably one of my favourite blogs to scroll thru. Love the Loki (and Asgard/Thor) stuff lol.

The best part was I only found your blog because you liked a post of mine and I saw the bird PFP and went I must see more and found this cool place.

I fr get so happy when I see one of your rbs/posts come up on my dash.

Thank you so much! I'm glad 💚 🖤

me every time i see a corvid: ohhhhh hiii did you know that my spouse is like you. did you know that i love them. and you. you are gorgeous. black bidieeee <3

[drachliebe]

ok but lets give kolk her due for not only being t.abaluga's mama , but also a genuinely fun background character for me to think about .

she's the old witch of the mountains , lots of baba yaga vibes . unlike the wise owl and the gentle sea turtle , kolk is loud , crude , and full of tricks . her nest has grown impressive with the trinkets she collects for-- whatever reasons nobody dare asks-- she isn't above spitting curses from her long , clicking beak , openly mocking entities more powerful than her , or threatening to take a piece of someone in exchange for a bargain or for simply irritating her . really capitalizing on that ' bad omen' schtick , huh ?

but kolk isn't always unpleasant company . she's quite close to nessaja and souhoo , and has been a midwife to many birds and beasts alike . she knows what herbs to use for sickness and genuinely cares for her homeland-- just not always for the folks who inhabit it . she's known to be grateful , helpful , and good humored . the residents do renovate her for her wisdom and magical knowledge ( particularly those aligned with superstition ) , but most know better than to attempt to get on her bad side .

which is why it's a shock that she took on the little dragon hatchling , let alone nested him properly and lovingly . thing is , nobody expected it . not even a.rktos , and for all the creatures of paradise are concerned-- the guy knows everything .

everything except oddities like compassion and love .

bucktommy + 💙 plsss <3

thank youuuuu!

💙 - tipsy kiss. ft my beloved adhd rambling buck

“So it’s like—it’s like…” Buck paused, an undignified giggle bubbling up from his chest and escaping before he could stop it. Tommy’s eyes on him were soft in the firelight, and his nose was scrunched up from the way he was smiling, and it made Buck want to kiss him so bad it hurt. Maybe the warmth spreading through him was due to the fire, or the three beers he’d had already, but he was more than willing to give Tommy the credit for that, too.

“It’s like what?” Tommy prompted, and that made Buck realize he’d stopped mid sentence, just staring at Tommy’s mouth. As he watched, Tommy pulled the stick he was holding back from the fire, blowing gently on the perfectly-toasted marshmallow to cool it before lifting it to his lips. “Evan?”

“Oh, right! So, we talk a lot about stone tools, right, and how they developed. Like axes and stuff. But one of the oldest was probably just…a stick. Some cavemen who were hungry found a pointy stick and went, hey, maybe that’ll do a better job killing this animal than me, because I don’t have claws and teeth. And I can use the same stick to put the meat on the fire so I don’t hurt myself by reaching in. And some of the best tools are the ones that haven’t changed, like—” He waved his hand at his own stick, still held in the flames.

“Like the pointy stick?”

“Like the pointy stick,” Buck confirmed with a laugh. “Although I think marshmallows and hot dogs are about the only things I’m hunting with this particular one.”

“Seems to me like you’re a pretty good provider,” Tommy murmured in his ear, wrapping an arm around his shoulders to pull him closer. And when Buck finally gave in and kissed him, he tasted sweet.

oh and shoutout to @corvid-cryptidd who gave me the subject idea for buck's lil ramble cause my own adhd brain was failing me 💕

after hinting in a conversation where polearms came up that i had a personnal ranking and obtaining no response, i've come to tumblr. tumblr has my back.

weapon side of tumblr; here we go

#5! : the Naginata

a very cool and classy weapon, however it looses point for being a 1-edged blade. not even 2 edges? not the best thrusting power either. slashing isn't great against armor, and though it can kill in a hit against bare skin, maybe even gambisons, it struggles against the most basic of chainmail. pierce and blunt superiority

contenders for 5th place were also the guan dao, the chinese version with sharp bits on the opposite edge, which should net it more offensive points but they make the weapon look less neat, and they barely add any functionnality

we also have the warscythe, inward-curving and lower-class cousin of these bad boys - a simple grass scythe with the blade turned for increased range, balance, slashing power and ease of use. while the wide availabilty and humble origins are great, i simply am not a fan of the design. notable though, for an improvised weapon, a farming tool, it works well, and is deadlier than it might look

#4! : the Partisan

a fairly straightforward polearm, barely upgraded from the base that is the spear/pike, with upward hooks on the sides to catch and deflect swords. perticularly good in defense, and just a neat shape

#3! : the Guisarme

often called Billhook because it's basically a billhook stuck on a spear, the guisarme is of this category of polearms i love called "more is better". to hit someone with that and not hurt them, you'd have to really try to. spikes everywhere isn't the cleverest design, but it's effective. the backwards-curving hook would have been used to dismount cavaliers off of horseback, although i like it best for the prospect of hooking on and pulling other weapons while clashing to try and disarm your opponent. notably though, said backwards hook makes for the perfect spot to be hooked and pulled on

#2! : the Halberd

yes, the classic, THE polearm, our beloved halberd. also a partisan of "more is better" (of which the Partisan is not) with its "axehead" and big spike, the halberd is more interesting than what its popularity might posit: as seen above, 'Halberd' describes a wider range of weapons than most terms. with or without a backspike, from a normal thrusting head spike to some of the longest ever seen on a weapon, from an almost Foulge aka a warcleaver, to basically a battleaxe on a stick, the halberd is an ol' reliable and has what you need, whatever it is. probably

#Honorable mentions!

i already mentionned the guan dao and warscythe, who didn't make it into the top 5, but how could i forget the most basic of polearms, forefather of our forefathers and original pokey stick;

apparently, whether it is named spear, lance or pike depends on its size and use. spear are for footsoldiers and can even be thrown like javelins in some circumstances, seeing how they're the lightest. lances are for horseback, while pikes, the longest, are used in tight formations to form a barrage of spikes, like against cavalry

finally, the closest thing to our top 1: the Lucerne hammer

used mainly for its hammerhead, the Lucerne is, for this reason and because of its less fancy, less french name, always in the shadow of my favorite polearm:

the Bec de Corbin

from the old french for "crow's beak", our beautiful corvid inspired weapon is used primarly with its sidespike, our namesake beak. an armor destroyer and danger from all sides, the bec de corbin can pierce and crush, with a thrust as deadly as its swipe. hack away at your foes in perfect serenity with the knowledge that a concussion and three broken bones is about the most unscathed you can get out of a confrontation with a bec de corbin. smash their helmet in with blunt force or pierce their chestplate with this XL warpick, the choice is yours. however, be mindfull of this heavy duty weapon, as its weight and force can be used against you, even moreso than with other polearms, with the thrusting spike the only part that remains deadly at close range

and that concludes this! please don't come for me. i am simply a weapons enthusiast and do not deserve to die for any mistakes, omissions or personnal opinions you don't agree with present in this post. please

—birthdays spent with them!

warnings: none

🪄 a. tsumugi!

tsumugi awakens you with a kiss on the cheek and a mug of your favourite pick-me-up beverage!

he’s usually very busy, but he takes the necessary time off to spend his beautiful partner’s birthday with them!

takes you to a quaint café for breakfast and pays for your meal—all while discreetly (or maybe not so much? he's very free with his affection, especially when it comes to you!) holding your hand under the table.

he tries to plan outings he feels you’d enjoy. he considers all your likes and dislikes, which is sweet of him. he also worries about anything that might cause you undue sadness; will it rain today? if so, he should plan an outing indoors... oh! but if the forecast insists on sun all day long, a walk together in the gardens would be rather nice...

he also tries to bake you a birthday cake, enlisting the help of both natsume and sora to prevent any unexpected bouts of bad luck. it's two tiers, your favourite flavour, and decorated with fondant birds and sprinkles in the shape of diamonds as a nod to his title as the "magician of your heart"~!

gifts you knitted items he made himself, so full of love—and fashionable too! scarves, gloves, and of course, a beanie with cat ears!

takes you out for a lovely candlelit dinner to top it all off, gifts you a rose, and kisses you goodnight, praying fervently this birthday was a success all the while.

🐰 n. nazuna!

nazuna starts your day by making you breakfast in bed. in the ultimate test of his skill as a cook, he prepares all your favourites—fruits cut into cutesy shapes, jars of condiments on the side, and a mug of a steaming hot drink.

then, he gifts you with a morning kiss. happy birthday, love! punctuated with a chaste peck on your lips.

he’s prepared to do whatever you want today! want to go somewhere nice? he’ll use his privileges as an idol to find the nicest things for you. tickets to an amusement park, a table at the fanciest restaurant around; you name it and he'll get it! or maybe you just want to chill and watch a movie at home? he’s cool with that too! just a giant tub of popcorn is shared between you two, tall cups of your favourite drinks and a blanket to cuddle under.

his gift is literally perfect, showcasing his talent as a boyfriend.

like, remember that thing you were talking about a while back? no? well, he does. he goes above and beyond—someone stop him from overspending, please!

and of course, the other ra*bits are there to wish you a happy birthday during lunch, as well as to regale you with tales of nii-chan’s panic-driven madness as he tried to prepare for every eventuality.

but it's for you, so it has to be perfect!

to end it, he takes you out for quiet picnic under the stars, where he kisses you softly, gifts you a promise ring, and asks you to wait with him until he can get you a real one.

What are each of your OC's favourite accessories/items of clothing? :D

Oooh this is a super fun ask!! So Trinket my beloved oc Trinekt has one of those fun double pin chain things (I forgot the name for them help) that are of bird skulls that he loves because they’re from one of his mothers as well as his cloak of corvid feathers which is made with various feathers from each of his beloved werecorvid family! I’m not really sure for Cashmere, i suppose the hair pins that double as a weapon, she loves like flowy fancy clothing but as of rn doesn’t have a particular favourite item of clothing! Lanturn likes his lanterns that he made because he made them <3 his horn ornament was well for the same reason, if I redesign him with his little quilted blanket cloak then that’ll probably be his favourite article of clothing. I’m have to think more about what all my other ocs like, I may update this again later

What about your ocs, so they have a favourite accessory or piece of clothing?

[kaeyx]

crow avian chuuya? yes. yet another au to love , i need

I love crows, corvids of all kinds tbh

crows are very smart , and there are some instances where people have crows giving them things

I definitely see Chuuya giving you shiny things, especially if you already tend to collect things. You always pet his hair and thank him so nicely when he does it, he just HAS to give you every cool thing he finds

crows courting rituals are fascinating; they sing softly to their mate, and they do a lot of cool areal tricks & normal bird "hey look at me im impressive" thingz

I dont know if reader unknowingly accepting him as a mate when he starts courting is funnier , or reader who knows damn well what he's doing and accepts him

Crow Chuuya my beloved <3 crows are so smart and social, they have families, they use tools, they remember each other and humans being kind or mean, they even play!!

Of course Chuuya would gift you things regardless of him being an avian or not, but if he is then his gifts tend to be very shiny and impulsive. Cute jewellery is very common, for example. Or trinkets and figurines! He loves seeing his gifts on display, like a confirmation that you accept his advances. He'd love to court you with a mixture of crow and human ways, singing to you and holding your hand, cuddling you and combing your hair like you do his wings, showing off or trying to be impressive to make you see he's strong and dependable. Ugh I love him <33

If fo had trends like the types we see on tiktok there would be one were teenagers pummel each other over nuka cola and who ever has the most nuka cola is the alpha teen

They would also toss mininukes at each other. It would be called ninuking, and the kids that ingest too much irradiated water would love it

And occasionally they'll find a fresh vault dweller and gaslight them til they cry

And the older people that are free from their cryochambers will reminisce about telephoning and it will be brought back

bestie you’re so real for this

fallout kiddos if they had tiktok would also do other types of dangerous trends like “breaking into ppl’s houses” but it’s a raider base and every time they somehow Don’t Die. there’d also be lean nuka cola and ppl would be like “YOU RUINED A PERFECTLY GOOD VIM POP FOR THAT????”

[anxious-scrambles]

Baldur’s Gate 3 Characters

Here is a brief introduction to my current beloved OCs.

Dreuer

Full Name: Dreuer Wildfel

Aliases: The Dark Urge

Race: Mephistopheles tiefling

Age: 47

Class: warlock (Greater Old One)

Subclass: fighter (battle master)

Background: The Haunted One

Sexual Orientation: demisexual, bisexual

Gender Identity: male (cis)

Romantic Interest: Lae’zel & Gale act 1, Gale act 2, 3 and end game

Knowing nothing of who he is and where he is from, Dreuer woke up on the nautiloid with a thirst for bloodshed. Determined to piece together his past and free himself of this lust for murder, Dreuer tried at first to face his problems with stoicism and in secret.

After confiding in Gale that he was afraid of his own uncontrollable actions, the two grew closer as they endeavoured to keep one another safe.

Dreuer faced his patron father, Bhaal, and defied him. He saved himself, helped save the city and now lives a quiet academic life in Waterdeep. Well. Mostly quiet.

There’s always room for a little adventure or two.

Corvid

Full Name: Robin Josiah Dashwood

Aliases: Corvid, Robert Crow

Race: human

Age: 27

Class: rogue (arcane trickster)

Background: criminal

Sexual Orientation: bisexual

Gender Identity: male (cis)

Romantic Interest: Shadowheart act 1, 2, 3 and endgame

The only son of Lord Josiah Dashwood of Waterdeep, Corvid was meant to grow up a well educated and respectable wizard. His birth mother, a lowborn woman from Luskan, died in childbirth, leaving Corvid under the care of a distant and resentful father.

After a series of notorious scandals, Corvid’s disobedience became too great for the family name to bear. He was cast out, took up a new name for himself and set about using his arcane talents for personal gain and petty criminal acts.

Corvid was taken from the roadside as the nautiloid swept across Waterdeep, where he had been lying in wait as a highwayman to ambush passing travellers. He isn’t sure if he wants to go home, as the family he has found since are the first people to care about him in his entire life.

Alyx

Full Name: Alyxanthe Black

Aliases: Alyx

Race: Asmodeus tiefling

Age: 34

Class: Fighter (battle master)

Background: Outlander

Sexual Orientation: pansexual, polyamorous

Gender Identity: female (transfem)

Romantic Interest: Astarion (act 1 & 2) and Halsin (act 2)

An exquisite markswoman and exceptional assassin, Alyx has been working freelance ever since her parents cast her out.

Alyx is quite the polymath, she is keenly intelligent and sharp witted, and is taking very cautious steps in her pursuit of the source of her ilithid infection. She was quite contented to be free of the tadpole and then leave, but since meeting her newfound friends she has set her sights firmly on several assassinations that frankly should have been executed years ago.

First target: Cazador Szarr.

Appearance Mods I Use:

Basket of Equipment

Boring Dyes

Tav’s Hair Salon

Favorite animal (s)?

my fav animals would have to be, like, lizards/snakes/slithery things

i really love small weasel and weasel type animals, and otters. i have a soft spot for ferrets and stoats

I really like bunnies!

I like cats and dogs.

I LOVE birds. im the weird bird person. Pigeons and doves, humming birds, corvids my beloved....

I love parrots but i do not think parrots should be kept as pets. maybe parrotlets or love birds, budgies, thats okay but like cockatoos are so fucking intelligent dude, they have like the intelligence equivalent of like a 3 year old toddler. and that 3 year old toddler can live to be 60+ years old!!

[yvonnesrespite]

Heya! I'm trying to catch up with some replies. My ask box will stay open since I have the blessing of Yvonne being Mike Wazowski'd screentime wise so like, I don't need to worry about random influx. So keep sending asks if you wanna!

Some of the asks I'll reply to though will lack Yvonne's dialogue gradient until I can go back and edit it when I'm at a PC or laptop. Waiting to get to a PC/laptop kinda slowed me down a whole lot so like. Fuck it lol. My little Tumblrina apology for the lack of pink you'll see.

I'll also maybe start to queue some replies of mine once I'm caught up. Depends on my schedule and then when I do get more activity!

I'll toss out some rp memes too for quick lil doses of Yv. <3

And like, in case anyone is wondering how I'm handling 2.0...I'm not handling it at all. Exception is Mephisto's appearances. Love the lil crow. Corvids have my heart, beloved little sky goblins.

[hallikset]

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox of the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers ♡

As always, first and foremost, is my beloved dog Reese

The cutest little babushka you've ever seen, don't deny it.

2. Placed second ONLY because of his newness, my nephew X (name redacted for privacy). He's a little shit but he's cute.

3. Crows, those little corvids are just me in pure mischief form. Big fan of when they sit on eagles

4. Godzilla!!! A new hyperfixation but tbh it's one I've been circling my whole life if we're being real.

5. I was trying to avoid putting characters on this list, but in full honesty, my Star Wars hyperfixation has been rekindled. Obi-wan Kenobi, you are the babygirl of my heart, love that old man.
