#Flaco Update

[mutteringretreats1]

Nothing was funnier than the various “attempts” that the zookeepers made to try to trap him and get him back in the zoo back when he escaped in March, including making literal bird calls they hoped would attract him lmao

I for one welcome our new strygine overlord. :)

Backstory: This gentleman escaped from Central Park Zoo in March after his enclosure there was vandalized, and there was a lot of concern over whether or not he could/would survive out of captivity. Unconcerned by this, Flaco settled himself in a particular area of Central Park and spent all the spring, summer, and most of the fall eating large numbers of rats, and genially allowing himself to be photographed by an ever-growing cadre of bird paparazzi.

Then a few weeks ago, possibly irked by repeated mobbing by assorted hawks and corvids, Flaco took off from his normal haunts and went on a brief tour of apartment-building courtyards on the Lower East Side. Now he's on the Upper West Side, within sight of Central Park (so food's no problem, should he feel like heading back that way to hunt), and shouting for everybody to hear that he owns the place. The image above shows him on the water tower of an apartment building at 86th and CPW.

If you look back through the Manhattan Bird Alert and Above 96th Twitter feeds, you'll see many splendid pictures of him. He's a handsome lad, and it's good to see him thriving.

What's in his future? Hard to tell. (Though some people on Twitter are suggesting he should run for mayor.) He may head upstate at some point. But he may decide he's quite happy to be a Manhattanite. As a fellow one, I wish him very well. :)

NEW!!!!! Masterlist Nov. 2024

A/N: I'm not really sure if this counts as a return lol, but I've grown a lot as a person and I think my writing-style and interest are v different now,,, so here's a new and updated (I'm not 14 anymore and I don't really like the same things I did when I started) masterlist (:

Important info (read pls before requesting): Since I'm over 18 y/o (I just turned 20, yay) I no longer accept any requests for minor characters or aged up versions of minors or anything like that. I'd feel really uncomfortable writing for them now, compared to when I started this blog at 14 lol. I also don't write mlm smut, not bc I want to be mean or less inclusive or anything, but bc I'm literally a bisexual woman and I feel like it's not really my place to write that kind of stuff (bro idk how to, I also fear I wouldn't portray it well at all bc obviously I haven't been in any situations like that),,, tho that does not mean I won't write mlm sfw!!! I'd be more than happy to (:

When I write I can only really do so with my own experiences in mind, so my nsfw stuff will mainly be fem!POV or gn, bc that's what I'm comfortable with... tho with that said, feel free to msg me or ask a question in the 'requests' if any of this seems confusing or unclear!

REQUEST HERE! <3

Judd Birch (big mouth) - judd birch x gn!reader - reader’s first time w/ judd - judd birch relationshp hc’s - judd birch x alt! reader - the one where Judd gives dating advice - four (4) reason’s judd has ‘keep out’ signs on his door (mr. birch is a menace) - just judd things (headcannons pt.2) - judd smut drabble - a heart to heart about Jessi’s sister’s boyfriend - going to school with Judd - judd smut in Y/n’s car - high judd headcannons

Puedo preguntar por un update de horacio el icono joto

El otro día lo reté porque quiso meter la cabeza en un cajón de manzanas bien maduras, y yo le decía "che flaco no hagas eso, nos vas a hacer quedar mal". ME MIRÓ COMO 😒? Y SE FUE!! Después de una hora, pasó por la puerta del local y me miró de reojo y siguió caminando!! Mí compañera me decía "naahh lo ofendiste 💀". Cuando volvió lo acaricié porque no quería que esté enojado conmigo skfndngn fucking consentido

[slicedmayonnaise]

I love them so much and i've been thinking about them a lot lately. i want to try to update their fic more regularly

One Chicago Rewatch Recap

So I recently decided I wanted to do a full rewatch of Chicago Fire, PD, and Med because it's been a while since I initially started watching all of these shows back in 2021. I just finished season 1 of Fire and I have so many thoughts: *Peter Mills! I completely forgot that he existed but I remember the first time watching it not liking him? But I can't remember why because so far he's great. *Shayveride having the most wholesome friendship hits so much different now *On that note, I really wish they would've been able to have a baby together, I think it would be so cool to see Kelly with a 10ish year old now in the current seasons. *Otis :( *Everyone looks so young!!! *What was the reason for the show to introduce Jimmy, Boden's stepson, only for him to never be mentioned or talked about ever again *Herrmann and Cindy being the original wholesome power couple in the franchise god I love them *I've never been a Dawsey shipper but I love the pining and tension between them in season 1 *Voight being the main antagonist for the first half of this season is so funny to me. The way his character is written is just *chefs kiss* *Also the entire PD backdoor pilot episode is incredible (and so was Meds if I'm remembering correctly) *Scott Eastwood just. randomly being in a few episodes of this franchise sends me *I honestly forgot about the Molly's storyline so when Herrmann didn't just own a bar from the beginning I was a little confused *I completely forgot that Joe Cruz just straight up abandons a civilian (Flaco the gang member) in a burning building and then announces that the floor is cleared but it made me CACKLE I will always ride at dawn for Joe Cruz, if Joe Cruz has 0 fans I'm dead Overall I love this season and it's nice to see how exciting the shows used to be with the original cast and everything. I do think out of all three shows, Fire has done the best job at staying consistently good and entertaining (although the arson investigation storylines are starting to drive me up the wall) Anyway I plan on doing these little updates whenever something major happens or at least once for the end of each show's season. Also if anyone is interested in a really helpful tool to watch all of these episodes in the proper order there's an amazing spreadsheet with all of the info on it that is kept up to date. Speadsheet made by @PetitCartonVert on tumblr and it is pinned on their page :)

i liked hearing updates on flaco as much as the next birder but i'm tired of the notion that he was "better off" in central park than in a zoo. any animal that has spent its entire life in a controlled captive environment up until that point being released into a non-native environment, into a habitat that doesn't match its needs... it just isn't going to thrive. flaco was dying and a lot of ornithologists and zoologists figured as much beforehand.

NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity acquired this image using its Front Hazard Avoidance Camera (Front Hazcam) on March 18, 2025 — sol 4484, or Martian day 4,484 of the Mars Science Laboratory mission — at 11:54:13 UTC. NASA/JPL-Caltech Written by Catherine O’Connell-Cooper, Planetary Geologist at University of New Brunswick Earth planning date: Wednesday, March 19, 2025  This terrain is a tricky drive, with rocks angled chaotically all around. One of our geologists remarked that they wouldn’t like to even walk over this without solid boots coming way up over the ankles — this is definitely the kind of terrain to result in twisted and broken ankles! So it wasn’t too unexpected that the drive we had planned on Monday cut short after 18 meters (about 59 feet). Fortunately, we ended up both at a workspace with abundant bedrock and in an orientation that allowed us to pass SRAP (our “Slip Risk Assessment Process”).   The rover planners were quickly able to find a spot to brush, so we have a coordinated target on “Palm Grove,” one of the laminated rocks in the lower half of the accompanying image. APXS and MAHLI will look at this target on the first sol of the plan, and then ChemCam LIBS and Mastcam will look at it on the second sol. Although the bulk of the bedrock is relatively nodule free, ChemCam will look at the nodular target “Refugio” to compare to the more dominant, nodule-poor bedrock.  On Monday, our workspace included some very interesting layers in the bedrock that might represent preserved sand ripples, but sadly, as Conor reported on Monday, we didn’t pass SRAP, which precluded any contact science. However, today we ended up near rocks that had similar layer geometry, and will acquire a MAHLI “Dog’s Eye” or mosaic image of these rocks at “Duna Vista” and two Mastcam 5×3 mosaics (“Bayside Trail” and “Oso Flaco”) on other examples.   Mastcam is taking several other images here. A 14×3 mosaic will capture the “nearfield” or area close to the rover, and a set of four further images focus on four distinct trough features, to help us better understand ongoing modification of the surface. Further afield, the “Quartz Hill” and “Pino Alto” mosaics look at areas of fragmented bedrock which may be similar to the “Humber Park” outcrop we analyzed this past weekend. Even further from the rover, ChemCam will acquire RMI (Remote Micro Imager) images of the “Boxworks” and an almost circular depression (“Torote Bowl”) whose origin is not clear.  The environmental theme group (ENV) planned a Mastcam tau (to look at dust in the atmosphere) and a Navcam dust-devil survey (to look for dust devils!) for the first sol of the plan. On the second sol, we fill out the movies with Navcam movies looking toward the south of the crater (suprahorizon, cloud shadow, and zenith movies) and a Mastcam sky survey.   In between the movies on the second sol, our drive is planned to take us another 34 meters (about 112 feet)… but we will have to see how far our intrepid rover will make it on this tricky terrain.

Weekend Update: Flaco the Owl's Widow On Her Husband's Death and Autopsy...

[virtuallightchopshop]

Explicación #1 > Explicación #2 (Está)

Nuevamente con las aclaraciones, voy a decir sobre los potenciadores.

Nightmare

Tienen fuego "inofensivo" saliendo de su cuerpo.

Aunque pueden hablar, su voz sería bastante fuerte y ronca. Con esto suelen gruñir.

Esta forma es controlada primordialmente por las emociones, con sus consecuencias siendo consumidas por esto.

Pueden conservar sus habilidades naturales, aumentandolas, o adquirirlas de una inspiración. Siempre van a tener la capacidad de viajar en dimensiones.

Cuando regresan a su forma normal, tienen una jaqueca fuerte durante unos días.

Sweet-Dreams

Es una variante Nightmare más débil pero controlada, siendo que su consciencia es quien lo controla.

Su cuerpo está rodeado de una nube, aunque pueden despejar las que están en su cara.

A diferencia de los Nightmares, son incapaces de hablar a menos que su cara no esté tapada.

Conservan todas las habilidades y condiciones que los Nightmares.

Cuando regresan a su forma normal, tienen un poco de ceguera durante unos días.

Manifiest

Sus brazos están cubiertos de llamas. Su boca está tapada en X, impidiendo que sus portadores puedan hablar. (Los Manifiest pueden hablar)

Principalmente se activan cuando su portador desea fuertemente algo o está en peligro.

Pueden crear una dimensión de bolsillo, dónde crean gente para dicha dimensión. Pueden "manifestar" o materializar cosas a partir de la nada.

Cuando regresan a su forma normal, no recuerdan mucho lo que pasó.

Game-Caught

Si alguien es atrapado en un juego, su apariencia se deteriora.

Pueden llegar a acceder en los archivos del juego para modificarlo.

Si lo amerita, pueden fusionarse con los personajes del juego.

Si salieran del juego, su apariencia no cambiaría en lo más mínimo.

Update: No necesariamente tienen que ser como los de la foto, depende de la personalidad de la víctima su nueva apariencia.

Trollge

Son increíblemente flacos y su cuerpo constrastas con los colores (Cabeza blanca y cuerpo negro).

Pueden modificar la realidad en un rango mínimo.

Pueden crear una dimensión de bolsillo, dónde crean gente para dicha dimensión. Además, pueden convertir a la gente en Trollges o en criaturas raras.

Aunque pueden morir, si están muertos durante la transformación, se convierten totalmente.

(En estos universos también existen las Puella Magi, dónde también existen varones, pero sus reglas son las mismas que en el manga/anime).

Celebrity owl Flaco dies a year after becoming beloved by New York City for zoo escape

Sad update to something I posted at the start of this month, by Ruth Brown for the AP:

Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from New York City's Central Park Zoo and became one of the city's most beloved celebrities as he flew around Manhattan, has died, zoo officials announced Friday.

A little over one year after he was freed from his cage at the zoo in a criminal act that has yet to be solved, Flaco appears to have collided with an Upper West Side building, the zoo said in a statement.

RIP to a real one, one far realer than me

[soyromantica-nobolud4]

update el chico en el que estoy interesada me habló ayer y estuvimos como al menos 2 horas hablando(? no me parece nada raro igual xq el flaco es como un pan de Dios o eso parece. la cosa es que me cae DEMASIADO bien, y se que no hay chances de que podamos estar juntos xq yo soy yo, y él es 10 veces mejor xd. Seguro que hasta se avergonzaria de lo q estoy diciendo xq el posta cree que es feo, yo solo debo decir que es moy lindo y moy buena persona
