day 23

today's bird is the gleeble woodcock! (Scolopax alienus)

today it's time for a spotlight on our little mascot <3

i was originally gonna post this for my birthday on the 25th, but i got a little busy with celebrating and then schoolwork. and before you know it, it had been almost a week since i'd posted... my bad! anyways, onto the fun facts!

- the gleeble woodcock, also sometimes called the little green woodcock, is a species of woodcock haling from the planet glebulax. it bares a striking resemblance to the earthern american woodcock

- the gleeble woodcock can fly down to -3 mph, making it not only the slowest flying bird, but also completely beyond the laws of physics

- despite being from different planets, the gleeble woodcock shares the characteristic "peent" call with its american cousin

- the gleeble woodcock uses the antennae on its head to communicate with other members of its species by emitting complex brainwaves. they can also use these brainwaves to control humans for fun and sport

- this account may or may not be ran by a gleeble woodcock piloting a human vessel

- gleeble woodcock society is surprisingly complex. they even have their very own gleebular calendar, complete with various unique holidays. when these gleeble holidays come around, the woodcocks celebrate with ornate parties, complete with elegant dancing and gleeble jazz

- gleeble woodcocks are coming to earth TODAY! be prepared!

Jerma is like. If all Twitch streamers were birds, Jerma would be an American Woodcock.

I say that because something about these two beasts equally unlocks something insane in people's minds

So I’ve made a redbubble shop because I thought other people would be as amused by the kind of nonsense I draw.

I recently came across the knowledge of what a woodcock bird sounds like and I don't think I can recover fully ever again. You know, just in case their groovy moves weren't enough.

Me: *sad*

Woodcock: PEENT

Me: *instant laughter*

Pearl's beloved grandmother is determined to see Pearl in love and happily settled before she passes on from this world, which will not be happening because Gam-Gam is going to live forever, thanks! But what could go wrong with agreeing to one blind date with a "kind, clever, and beautiful" girl, who went out of her way to save her grandma from a bad situation? It's not like she's in danger of falling in love with her. Pearl's hearts are already dead set on Marina, and nothing in the world can change that.

Right?

“Well, be that as it may. You've fulfilled your contract, and your music group is taking a hiatus.” Gam-Gam says. She peers at Pearl from behind her half-moon glasses, eyes bright and keen and all-too-knowing. “Be honest with me, dear. I know that look in your eyes. Who's the lucky girl?”

Pearl flinches. “No one! There is no girl! I'm just—sleepy! This is my sleepy face!”

“Is that so? Then I suppose you wouldn't be opposed to meeting someone, for your old grandmother's sake?”
