This is a piece that relates to my Prince Sniper of Aotearoa AU but instead of being a normal Prince Sniper of New Zealand AU… it’s Māori cuz I hc him (and his bio family) as Māori.

It’s a very fun au that I’ve made some more art for, and I’m willing ask any questions (about him, the au, his design, etc.) about it and I’m open to any criticism; since I’m not Māori.

My main universe hc of Sniper is that he’s Māori (hence why he doesn’t have full Moko) that was raised in an Aboriginal Australian community and Scout is Costa Rican-American just so you know. Here’s them right here:

(Scout isn’t Māori; he just Sniper’s consort/lover (Bill-Bel and Lar-Nah weren’t fans of Scout that much))

December 21, 2023 - Costa Rican Ground-Sparrow or Cabanis's Ground-Sparrow (Melozone cabanisi) Found only in central Costa Rica, these New World sparrows live in lowland and mountain forests, woodlands, coffee plantations, and thickets. Foraging on or near the ground alone or in pairs, they feed on seeds and insects, though the details of their diet are unknown. They build cup-shaped nests from grass, rootlets, stems, dry leaves, and horse hair in grass tussocks, hollows, or bushes. Females lay clutches of two or three eggs. Classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN, their population is declining slowly due to residential and commercial development in their small range.

In the shop now: An authentic, vintage, hand-painted & signed Costa Rican “carreta” in a smaller size suitable for a serving cart in a covered deck or patio area. Complete with matching, painted wooden handled box and grid for serving and holding bottles. As an added bonus, the cart can be completely disassembled and reassembled like a puzzle.

Larger ox carts became a significant means of transportation for rural Costa Ricans after they were introduced to the area circa 1840. Farmers used ox carts to transport valuable crops like coffee beans or sugar cane. The carreta was valued for its ability to maneuver over all types of hazardous terrain.

Over the centuries, cars & trucks replaced the ox cart as transportation. However, ox carts then gained new life as a celebrated form of artwork. The ox cart has even taken on a symbolic significance, commemorating Costa Rica traditions and agricultural history, and was officially declared a national symbol of Costa Rica some 30 years ago. Visitors to Costa Rica can witness carretas in all their traditional glory during the "Día del Boyero" (Day of the Drover) parade, which is held in the city of Escazú every year on the second Sunday in March.

Carretas are now decorated with bright colors and intricate designs. They often boast floral motifs, and the wheels are emblazoned with mandala-like patterns. The artisans who craft carretas also painstakingly choose the pieces of wood from which the wheels will be crafted, specifically so that the carts will make a pleasant sound as they roll through the streets. The wheels consist of sixteen wedge-shaped pieces of wood arranged in a circle and bound with a metal ring.

This example features cheerful colors on a black background. It is in good vintage condition. Come check it out at Folklore Emporium in Ruckersville Gallery. #costarican #carreta #cart #margaritacart #patiocart #servingcart #paintedfurniture #folkart #ruckersvillegallery #cvillevintage #albemarlecounty #virginiavintage #charlottesville #folkloreemporium

• The variable harlequin frog (Atelopus varius)•

(I just had to add multiple pics cause look at these guys)

fun fact: Dorsal color is usually black or brown overlaid with a mosaic of spots and streaks that can be almost any combination of orange, red, yellow, blue, or green earning them the nickname “clown frogs.” A deadly infectious disease called chytridiomycosis is an important reason for the rapid disappearance of this species from the Costo Rican forests.
