Ok random but best/favorite species of bird and why fellow bird enthusiast?

Hi! Thank you so much for the ask, this literally made my day.

Hmmm… for favorite bird, I would have to go with either a crow or a magpie. What can I say, I’m a sucker for corvids! Crows are really cool because they can memorize faces associated with traumatic and/or stressful situations, same thing with people who are kind to them and feed them. They can also pass knowledge down through generations and too other birds, which I think is just. So funny. Imagine, you piss off one bird on accident one day, and then you spend the rest of your life being harassed by its entire bloodline. I love a bird that can hold a grudge. Relatable.

As for magpies, I just think they’re neat. They are super talented mimics and can make the coolest noises. They are quite pretty too. Their coloring is also really mesmerizing to look at and their distinct plumage makes them stand out from other common birds. I’ve seen a lot of them the past couple days, which has been great for understanding of their behavior and tendencies. (Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a photo)

As a bonus, here are some pictures of a billboard a found:

(Sorry for the word vomit btw, I really enjoyed answering.)

Heeeeelloooooo it's been a while I know but studies don't work on themselves and I've got the level of stress of a tsunami in a body of 1m63 soooooo guess I draw when I got the time to ^^"

Sooo I wanted to present here with a little animation, nothing truly amazing, but it's linked to a very dark route of my PL Oc Magpie / Madeline ( it's a bit like Undertale, you take a basic oc and make him more or less trauma depending on what you have in mind X3 ). If you wanna know more, let's just say she's dead and craving for revenge ~

Here we go so enjoy and joy to you all darlings ! ^w^

( Also, sorry for the trembling pictures, my phone is still too little to do something very accurate >< )

Get to know Evelyn Caddel: Auror

Read below the cut for my VERY LONG brainrot about Evelyn and her career as an Auror 💥

You can read more about my MC in general HERE 🐍

I also wrote about her love of Quidditch 🧹

She signs up to Auror training with Natty as soon as they get their N.E.W.T results in the summer after they finish their seventh year.

It was a pretty nervous wait for her exam results, knowing she needed at least Exceeds Expectations (E) grades in all her subjects to meet the entry requirements needed to get onto the training programme. Thankfully she comes out with Outstanding (O) grades in Beasts, Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts and Exceeds Expectations in Potions and Astronomy.

They officially started their training in October 1893 and Evelyn's dream of being Head Auror by the time she was 30 is underway. 

She and Natty shared an unassuming Georgian terrace house in Cannonbury Square in Islington, London alongside three other trainees during their training period. You can see an 1896 map of the area here and a picture of what Islington was like in 1899 here. 

The property faces out onto the green space in the centre of the square and Evelyn enjoyed sitting on one of the benches after a particularly difficult day, closing her eyes and listening to the noisy chatter of the magpies in the trees. 

Sebastian was a regular visitor to their house in Cannonbury Square. Sebastian, who was training to be a healer at St Mungo’s, often conveniently stopped by around dinnertime and always graciously accepted Natty’s offer to make him up a plate of whatever they were having and join them. After a few weeks of this Natty realises it is not the food he is coming for but their pretty blonde housemate who he always found a way to sit next to at the table. Evelyn can’t help but laugh at Natty’s wounded expression when she says “I thought he just really enjoyed my ifisashi and rice”. 

Poppy stays at the house for a few days at a time every other week before heading back to gran’s cottage in Sussex – where she is living whilst undertaking an apprenticeship in Beast Division in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Poppy spends more time out and about on assignments than in the office – which suits her just fine – so she didn’t see the point in moving to London full-time.  

It is a bit weird for Evelyn and Poppy not to have access to the complete privacy of the Room of Requirement anymore and be sharing such close space with four other people. It is particularly embarrassing when they thought they had the house to themselves one afternoon only for Natty to awkwardly ask Evelyn when they make dinner that evening if she and Poppy could use a silencing charm in future, as she had been trying to have a nap. 

As a pretty determined person, Evelyn throws everything she has into the training course but does not realise quite how much of a toll it is taking on her – and how little she looking after herself – until she passes out during a stealth exercise. Poppy is, of course, frantic when she gets an owl from Natty telling her that her girlfriend ended up in St Mungo's and asking her to return from her work trip in Cornwall to talk some sense into Evelyn about making time for rest and relaxation. 

After that, Natty makes sure she sees Evelyn eating both breakfast and dinner and drinking water every single day. 

The intensity training programme combined with Poppy's apprenticeship sending her all over the country put a serious strain on Evelyn and Poppy’s relationship and they briefly split up in the spring of 1894. They get back together after a few miserable weeks where Evelyn mopped around the house and only left to go to training at the Ministry. 

When they qualify, Evelyn and Natty are disappointed to find they are often given the department’s paperwork to fill in and file and when they are given assignments they are low level ones  – pub fights in Diagon Alley and the like.  

“You can’t expect them to put newly qualified Aurors on the hunt for the most dangerous witches and wizards in the world, Evelyn.” Poppy tells her, which Evelyn just grumbles at. 

Evelyn’s first big assignment comes 18 months after she qualifies as an Auror. She is part of the team covering the security of the French Minister for Magic during a diplomatic visit to the British Ministry. She knows something is wrong when she is one-on-one with a colleague who opens the door for her with his left hand, a hand he had injured a couple of weeks prior and lost much of his grip strength in. One skirmish and calls for backup later revealed her colleague was actually a known dark wizard using polyjuice potion to moonlight as her colleague – who it turns out had been captured and was being held hostage. The wizard planned to assassinate the French Minister for Magic and pin the blame on the British Ministry for Magic; no doubt which would have caused unparalleled diplomatic fall out.  

She praised by both Ministry’s for her initiative in halting the assassination and The Daily Prophet and French newspapers both front page interviews with her. 

Evelyn doesn’t meet her teenage goal of being Head Auror by the time she is 30 but is happy enough working as a Lead Auror and oversees a team of 10 junior Aurors. Uncovering secret poaching and beast trafficking rings and seeing those involved punished is a cause she is particularly passionate about; owing to her wife’s work with the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. 

In her late fifties, she steps away from her work as an Auror and takes up the position of professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, often telling her students stories of her most dangerous and thrilling cases.

27th October 2023: Lakeside and home

Pictures taken in this set are of: 1. Mushrooms at Lakeside this evening. 2, 8, 9 and 10. Views on my walks at Lakeside today. The sun that was in and out today arriving perfectly for my last Friday after work walk of the year with the clocks going back this weekend to create some gorgeous and atmospheric scenes with the sun and creamy sky such scenes that have become symbolic with my last Friday evening walk of the year since my working from home days began, and I made the most of being out in nature in the evening as the traffic roared from around and reflect on why I love evening walks and the many wonderful ones I've had here this year seeing and experiencing so much from them. 3. Starlings and a Collared Dove shining in the afternoon sun out the back. 4. Ox tongue at Lakeside at lunch time. 5. A wild carrot seed head kissed by the ethereal autumn evening sun. 6. One of two Coots I enjoyed seeing really nicely and closely at lunch time. 7. A Woodpigeon it was good to see tonight.

Other bird highlights at Lakeside today were Redwing, Blue Tit, Goldfinches including flying in the evening perhaps to roost, Jackdaw, Magpie, Carrion Crow Moorhen, Black-headed Gulls including flying over in the evening too and lovely views especially in the evening of the Great Crested Grebes with Ring-necked Parakeet a key one at this time of year in moments being out nearer to dusk as the nights draw in heard. A fly on a dandelion, perhaps the first horseweed I've ever actually seen at Lakeside, white clover, broad-leaved clover, ragwort, a pretty group of oxeye daisies still going strong by the fence to the steam railway track along the northern path and wild service tree and holly berries were also good to see. I enjoyed seeing Goldfinch, House Sparrow and a ladybird the other side of the window at home today with the Greylag Geese seen flying over the house tonight near dusk a key image of this time of year after enjoying this on the way home on Wednesday I did so again by Lakeside on the way home yesterday.

Some OCs Update

Magpie Holder – Arwen / Peani

Name: Arwen

Superhero Name: Peani

Age: Unknown, around 500 or 600 years

Miraculous: Change

Kwami: Pikka

About the Miraculous:

The miraculous is about change, it is one of the oldest there is. It existed right after PLagg and Tikki, together with “Space”, “Light” and “Darkness” they were one of the very first. It is very powerful, seeing that it can change everything. From feelings, to the very being of a living or non-living object. Arwen uses the power to change her appearance, so nobody can see who she really is in the modern world. Also she stops her aging.

Pikka is a Magpie like Kwami. They are very curious but cautious about it. Like a real Magpie, they like to collect stuff they see as important and beautiful. The Kwami only had 3 holders of the span of existence.

Arwen:

Born far in the past, she saw many horrible things. Being treated poorly by the people for being a woman of low standard, she avoided the big cities. Her father was never in the picture and her mother died when she was 10. The first 5 years she lived alone with her animals in the country side. One day, she finds an old grave in a hill. Among many treasures, she finds the miraculous and gets to change her destiny.

The first few years she just wanders around after selling the animals. Due the miraculous she changes her gown and looks. Making her beloved. With 17 she had many men court her. One day she met another miraculous holder, one who is in contact with the Guardians in Tibet. He tells her that her use of the miraculous is selfish. She gets angry. In the conflict and fight, she discovers she can transform into ANYTHING. Including in a dragon. She destroys the city she lived stayed and fled the scene. Devastated by her doing, she avoided the public eye.

At some point she met Joan de’ Arc. Since the Ladybug holder fights in the name of “God” and lets the soldiers do what they want, she despairs her. She remembers the blood and agony which brought the 100y war.

((Time Skip))

Since she can transform paper in money, she got her old house in the country side turned into a mansion. She lives there alone. One day she went to the city as a Magpie. Where she met the young hero, Thomas. Who has the “Space”-Miraculous. Since he is young and untrained. And also, alone. She helped him with his fight. Where they official met. The boy is only 15 years old. Arwen stopped her aging at 27. So, she looks like one.

They both fight against criminals and unnatural creatures.

The young boy got older, got into acting and became a very well-known star. Due the stress from Family and false friends, he relayed very on her, even saw her as a family member. She in return wanted to protect him from everything evil.   

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Space Miraculous Holder -Thomas

Name: Thomas

Superhero Name: Rabs

Age: 30

Miraculous: Space

Kwami: Covvd

About the Miraculous:

Allowed to bend Space, also in some cases jumping universes. Not the same as jumping timelines. Timelines are in the same Universe. Space jumping is like Flint Stones jumping into Cyperpunk. The farther the universe, the more dangerous it is for the holder. So jumping from one world with Miraculous Holder to another, isn’t as exhausting. The Miraculous isn’t really used for fighting.

The Kwami, Covvd, Is a proud one. Very keen on being always out somewhere and seeing places.

About Thomas:

Thomas grew up in a rather toxic Family. His father was constantly cheating on his mother and his mother tried to distract herself with forcing Thomas to go and study everything. Acting was one of these things, funny enough it was one of the things he enjoyed the most. Because he could pretend to be someone else. At the age of 20 his dead got abusive with his mother. They left the country (moved Germany or Austria). He got his Miraculous from an antique store when he searched for cheap dree of for a casting. Seeing how he always wanted to be someone who could fight back. He took his new role serious, but doesn’t care if he comes across an anti-hero. The first time he really had to fight someone, a Magpie swooped in and turned into a woman. Beating the opponent up. At this point he looked up to the Magpie-woman. Even having a crush on her at some point. They trained, talked, get to know each other, and became each other’s best friend. When Thomas grew up and left his toxic mother, he ran to Arwen and cried.

She allowed him to live with him in her mansion.

Thank you @gift-of-astralaria and @commander-winterberry for hosting a delightful Lunar New Year Banquet yesterday in the Cantha guild hall! It was a blast (of fireworks!) and so many interesting people came dressed for the occasion. Pictured above are Magpie Corvidae and Grand Master Hyosoo enjoying a peaceful cup of tea on a grassy hill. Please pay no mind to the column of flame rising behind them :)

I’m gonna preface this post by saying I kind of got carried away doing photoshoots for @notenoughplants​‘ Thistle Thornsworth, @legendaryskyscale‘s Lyikera, and @midnightmako‘s Nightbloom Larkspur; I promise I got photos of other people too! Tunnel-vision/hyperfixation be a bitch, lot of photos below the cutoff

Much like a moth to a flame, I was attracted to the mysterious great column of flame, which served wonderfully to illuminate my subjects! The fish seemed to like it too, as there was a great fishing spot at the base of the wall. Pictured above are Cryomancer Visi (me!), Lyikera, Thistle Thornsworth, and Nightbloom Larkspur.

Visi and Nightbloom took turns hiding in the shrubbery, with Nightbloom striking a vaguely threatening pose upon discovery.

Thistle’s glowing red hair was enhanced wonderfully by the bonfire of the gods on the opposite shore.

Lyikera was stunning amongst the crystalline flowers! She looked right at home among the iridescent blooms.

Vellisto, Aalish Iayu, @gift-of-astralaria​‘s Yunalia Sol (our host!), and @commanderfloppy​‘s Link the Twink were quite regal as they appeared to discuss matters of great importance around the table.

Link pays respect to @kralkatorrik​‘s Marwyd’s Bridget the Chicken, our esteemed guest.

Aalish, Vellisto, @silvesi​‘s Lichen Larry, and Yoshiyuki Takara stand near the fortune telling place, watching attentively.

My friend Researcher Klinkk also showed up at the celebration to take a look around, and was nice enough to take me for a spin on his jade tech boat!

And of course no party would be complete without a fight, as overhead @commander-winterberry​‘s Yvalris soars through the air towards the arena!

Thank you to everyone for coming, and another thank you to those of you who stuck around to the end of this post! Here’s another picture of Lyikera and Thistle having tea.

A Cat Introductory

Sometimes I surprise myself with how little cat content is on my Tumblr. I don't even think I posted when we got new kittens...! So I made this for fun : )

Pepsi, aka Beep or Beepus (it comes from a Bepis mispronunciation) is a Victorian woman trapped in the small body of a cat. She has the patience of a saint and a very angry resting face. Out of all our cats ever, we've had her the longest. She has no interest in sinning and very much dislikes being picked up in "improper" ways. She's currently ten years old! Wow!

Saffron is not very smart, but we love him anyway <3 He's naturally very greasy, which is one of the easiest way to distinguish him from Sphinx (seen in bg here). He likes to sleep on his back and goes so, so ham with his favorite toys that he loses them almost instantaneously. He also has a concussion in this picture that he gave himself mysteriously, hence the differently sized pupils. He's currently three and has Feline Leukemia Virus

Sterling, seen here angrily wearing Hunny as a hat, has issues. We don't know why he has issues. He has them. He was incredibly ill as a kitten (the vet literally told us "good luck") and I guess that traumatized him...? He's quite loving, but is so wicked neurotic. He might actually have anxiety. Saffron is his absolute favorite guy and he always meows very loud when hitting someone whether he's playing or not. He's currently two and has mouth herpes, which was a surprise

Sasha is currently our smallest adult and he likes to sit like a jellyfish (shown above). I don't understand how he breaks his spine to sit on it like this, but he sure thinks it's comfy...! He's a very sweet boy who's more of one for following you from room to room than he is for a petting sesh. He comes in my room every day at regular intervals to check on me and meow for a head pat <3 He's two, very near Sterling's age

Sphinx is our largest (and possibly fluffiest) adult. He has an insane neck mane and enjoys playing fetch with his favorite toys. Will got absolutely insane for hair ties. Seriously. He'll probably hurt you because he's just so excited. He has a teeny tiny meow and likes to be held and cuddled for specific periods of time only known to him. Loves going outside and behaves the best out of everybody out there. He'll even wear a harness like a good boy! He's two and very near Sasha and Sterling's age

Rowan, like Beepus, is pissed off, but she has a different vibe. While Beep simply has a resting angry face, Rowan is mad. She's so mad. She hates you, she hates everyone, and she has the poofiest little butt ever. When happy, she holds her tail up so high that it bends down and touches her back! She enjoys hoarding toys under chairs and sitting on strings like they're railroad tracks. She's coming up on her second birthday very soon. She's a Siamese/Turkish Vaan

Magpie is, and I mean with the upmost of love, the dumbest cat we have. I sometimes joke that she's autistic because she just... doesn't quite do social interactions right. It's like she doesn't know how to read the other cats...! Despite this, she means well. She gets wicked hyper at the drop of a pin and used to be besties with Rowan, but got tired of being slapped around!! Her fur hangs down kind of weirdly, like it's heavy. It makes her look sort of flabby <3 Will go insane for string (seriously...) She's two years old

Ophelia (the Mighty Huntress) is just the sweetest little lady. She gives you her head to pet with the utmost trust and arches her back very high while doing so. She doesn't mind being held for long periods of time, but doesn't necessarily enjoy being pet much. She exudes sweet innocence somehow, all the time. She just has a sweet little face, I guess...! She's currently one year old and has a silly little (big) primordial pouch <3

Raven is my little baby - a cat I specifically picked out. She's growing into a delightful watermelon, by which I mean she's fat and we have to watch her diet. She does not like being pet unless she says so, especially on the head!! She's the master of slinking away from unsolicited hands and will dodge very severely if you try to give her a head pat when not allowed. She enjoys meowing at nothing and playing with strings, which she will brings you. She has a chronic condition I forget the name of that leaves her with a squinty, watery left eye. She's one year old and close in age to Ophee

Monkey is the cat Al picked out very near the time I got Raven. He was very matted and dirty when we got him, which is why he's rocking the homemade lion cut in the picture. His fur's finally almost grown back out now! He's part British Shorthair and I think he looks very interesting! He has exactly one meow that he uses at all opportunities. Loves to play, but mostly only with other cats, which results in constant screaming and crying for them to come playyyy. Come play...! Come plaaaaaaaYYYY. His little eyebrow poof makes him look either very concerned or very angry depending on the lighting. One year old

Juniper, as you can see here, weighs 0 pounds. She's very sweet, quick to purr, and has mysteriously broken all the whiskers off the right side of her face. While she gets hyper just like everybody else, she tends to have this tiny calm contemplativeness about her. Just a tiny little lady in a big world... She's coming up on six months and is littermates with Fergus

Fergus is a darling little orange with the tiniest eyes ever. He tends to sit and look very concerned with them. Does a lot of just sitting there... thinking. What is he pondering? We just don't know. He likes ball toys, which is rare among our cats, and has a very poofy tail! He's littermates with Juniper and is nearing six months

Molotov Cocktail (aka Molly) is another cat I was lucky enough to be allowed to pick out. True to her name, she's a wild little spitfire! But she also enjoys cuddling and sleeping next to people. She has the highest rate of sin out of the kittens and is nearing six months (but is two weeks or so younger than the other two). If you don't give her what she wants, she goes on a wild sin rampage...!

Send Me a Character & I'll Tell You✨️

My fictional husband!

My first impression - Marry me!

My impression now - He's such an interesting character and one of those characters that makes me want to know more about them. Which I think some of the mystery surrounding the character is answered in the manga but I haven't caught up with it in a long time. (stares at my unread volumes sitting beside my bed). Also he's such a good dad and husband. I love how much he cares for his little family even if it is "for the sake of the mission".

Favorite thing about that character - Despite constantly thinking, "I can't get attached. This is for the mission," he still cares. Everything he does, he does because he cares about others.

Least favorite thing - Probably how oblivious he is 99% of the time. I know it's for the plot, and I enjoy that aspect of the plot and his character, it does annoy me though lol.

Favorite line/scene - This is kinda just from the series in total, but when he passes out on the couch and Anya curls up with him. It's so goddamn cute and wholesome!

Favorite interaction that character has with another - Any interaction between him and Yor. Their misunderstandings are so funny.

A character that I wish that character would interact with more - I'd like to see more of him and Scruffy together. I really enjoy the little we do see them interact. I would honestly watch a spin-off of them going on a mission together.

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character - John Watson from Moriarty the Patriot strangely enough. I can't exactly explain why though. (Maybe it's the hair)

A headcanon about that character - Really likes Jazz music and if he wasn't a spy he would have a massive record collection.

A song that reminds of that character - Mr. Magpie by Electric Swing Circus (actually just most Electric Swing Circus songs)

An unpopular opinion about that character - I'm really bad at unpopular opinions. Like, I genuinely don't have any.

Favorite picture - Glasses! He should wear glasses more often.

[mimssides]

Hey Eir! How about Logince for the ship ask game? <3

Who said “I love you” first Roman. Look, passion bubbles in his chest and his nerd is falling in love with him. He has to profess his love to him!

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background They are both saps and have the picture of the other as background. Or maybe even matching ones with Logan reasoning that it is "only logical" and Roman totally supporting his boyfriend's logical thinking.

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror Roman. Logan thinks it's cute but sometimes gets annoyed at the smudges. but when Ro has a rough time, Logan might just draw a little heart on the mirror and it always manages to cheer Roman up.

Who buys the other cheesy gifts Logan. He's bad at love languages but also has the instincts of a magpie and knows "cheesy glitter things make Roman go brrr". Man has never bought roses but there are about twenty cat heart figurines in Roman's shelf designated for sappy gifts from his boyfriend.

Who initiated the first kiss Mutual effort. Just a look and both started to lean in. It was one of the few moments they just agreed on what to do next. Really they still often kiss like that.

Who kisses the other awake in the morning Roman kisses Logan awake. Both of them don't sleep a lot but Logan has the tendency to stay a little longer in bed when he has nothing scheduled. So when that occurs, Roman might get up first, make some coffee, prepare some breakfast, and goes back to bed to kiss his beloved awake. Logan does enjoy the pampering.

Who starts tickle fights Roman. Though Logan always wins and he still believes that one day he will end up the winner. He won't😌

Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower Roman. When he has a high need for affection he will ask for them to shower together. Usually, Logan complies since he understands that Roman needs some extra care. Also, sometimes it's nice to have cuddly (or a little horny) prince in the shower with you.

Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch Roman started it but they regularly show up at the other's workspace just as a surprise. At Logan's workplace though nobody knows that Roman is Logan's boyfriend because Roman keeps it down a lot whereas everyone at Roman's workplace is very aware of their relationship because the first thing Logan did when he visits Roman is kiss him straight on the lips.

Who was nervous and shy on the first date Neither. Their first official date was on a dare and they bickered and tried to outdo the other the whole time only to realise at the end that they had a great time together. They were both a little timid on the second date though.

Who kills/takes out the spiders Roman. Let him be the brave hero he wants to be. Logan is very deadpan about being saved from the foul beasts but he lets him do it.

Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk Logan. Roman is just whiny and clingy when drunk but Logan goes out of his way to loudly present Roman to everybody around them and says how beautiful and attractive he is, and how he is the best kisser, and that he loves him so very much.

Aah. I love them so much. Such good boys.

[perelka-l]

itama for the character ask?

Meme time:

favorite thing about them

He's a baby boy and original Uchiha hater uwu

least favorite thing about them

Rare boy!

favorite line

Baby thirsts for blood!!!!!

brOTP

Idk why but I enjoy imagining him with Kagami? Idk why. Is it the cute vibes with hidden murderous beast inside? Maybe?? They would fit nice together... Izuna is also more bro material?

OTP

Do I even have to explain myself. This ship. Especially Itama and the guy in the middle that is practically my semi-OC? Yeah. But then I think about Itama in any modern AU and his five sugar daddies and I have brainrots. Other scenarios also follow but we need some goddamn proper warnings for those.

I also have a certain fondness for ButsuIta (youngest son spoiled by strict dad? Yesssss), MadaIta (I don't even remember why) and Hashirama (can't escape incest demons).

nOTP

I mean, considering what I do ship already do I even have nOTPs for that guy.

random headcanon

I like to think he was Butsuma's favourite son. Also, I like to think he had more of capabilities of a battle medic, would probs have a skillset similar to Tsunade and Kabuto if he lived any longer :D Also, magpies. We all know why.

Oh also vitiligo propaganda.

unpopular opinion

Does this babie even have any unpopular takes. Look at me, I am the unpopular take. I want terrible, terrible things to happen to him, I'm sorry but that boya awakens my worst instincts.

song i associate with them

Patterns by the Band of Skulls, Silent Spring by Massive Attack, Sugarbread by Soap&Skin (VERY MUCH THIS ONE), A Folded Note by Disparition, BLVCK SATIN (DELETED SIN RMX) by BLVCK CEILING.

favorite picture of them

he is very smol, you can probs put him in a pocket (but also man when you look at it those trees are bloody massive like damn

[ripeteeth]

five things you never get tired of writing

Thank you for the tag, @danpuff-ao3!

So, I have to confess that I've grown to hate talking about writing and my process, as I'm constantly afraid of coming off as ultra-pretentious or self-involved. But hey, as my therapist likes to point out, that's my trauma talking, baby! So it might actually be a helpful exercise to think about the parts I really do love.

Before I get started, I'm tagging @mia-ugly, @soft-october-night, @weatheredlaw, @racketghost, @iodhadh, @jaggededges123, @veganthranduil, and anyone else who wants to do it!

the body and everything with it

I'm a bit obsessed with everything visceral. I love imagery of the body - the bones, the tissues, the skin and sinew. I love the constant process of our growth and erosion of ourselves into death. I'm just fascinated with our constant war - we are always both our body and at odds with our body. We spin complex, intricate stories to escape the simple fact that we are animal - put on this earth to eat, drink, fuck, and die. I'm fascinated by the concept of holiness as a rejection of the body, like the Cathars taught. If earthliness is evil, and the body is earthly, then all things related to the body must be evil. We're told that the saints denied themselves - food, companionship, drink, touch. How can the one thing that we are freely given be evil? I can't stomach it. Look, even our language is somatic. I can't stomach it. Get a leg up. One foot on the ground. Head in the clouds. To be separated from the body is death, and I want to roll around in the visceral aspects of language and description.

2. trivia and scientific/historical minutiae

Writing is fun for me because I'm a bit of a magpie about trivia and love to drop in little details about parchment-making or historical polar expeditions or so on. I'm really thriving and enjoying writing my Frankenstein story as there's so much to include - details about anatomical plates, about Luigi Galvani, about historical dissection and surgery. Picture it as a nerd shoving a book under your nose going look, look, this is so cool! That's basically what I'm doing every time.

3. food

Okay, so this is sort of cheating, because all food is a body of some kind or another - plant or animal - and thus we're back to my fixation with the visceral. But I have a deep love of food and cooking, so I can spend ages on the line of cream that rises to the top of milk, the scent of garlic and onions in a cast-iron pan, the tender bruising of a plum at the bottom of a bag, the perfect scent of a sprig of rosemary. Food has always been a focus in my family, despite how completely poor we were, and my mom's treat to herself was to pick up a food magazine now and again - usually Gourmet or Saveur. I would spend ages with her carefully poring over each brightly lit page, admiring the way the light gleamed on olive-oil tossed pasta, and how it disappeared into the powdery dark cocoa of chocolate truffles. We couldn't afford it then but I learned a language of food I had not yet tasted. As we got a little more secure and comfortable, my mother would bring home treats - preserved lemons in a ball jar, duckfat in a quart container in the freezer. I eventually learned how to cook and attended culinary school, later working in restaurants, and it's been a revelation of pairing these things I have heard of - duck, sumac, creme fraiche - with the actual texture and taste. There's something incredibly magical to me about the language of food. The imagery of it. The brutal physicality of it. We make food beautiful because we love it. It feeds us, nourishes us - but I am also fascinated by the fact that food implies death. Everything that feeds us has once lived. We consume the bodies of others; we'll be consumed ourselves. There's something both sacred and profane about that, I think.

4. myth, religion, and monstrosity

It probably comes as no surprise to anyone who reads my shit that I grew up in an incredibly religious area, soaked to the bone with Calvinist damage. I went to a Christian Reformed church and cut my teeth on coloring books with Christ's body dying on the Cross. I doubt I will ever have a wholly comfortable relationship with religion and that comes through. I love to write characters struggling with religion and the claustrophobic, oppressive feeling of an unairconditioned church in the height of summer, hundreds of voices repeating the same things, singing the same songs. This is also why I'm fixated on monstrosity. It's about abjection, right? The abject other? You are alone in the middle of a sea, different from the others. You are queer. Uneasy. Separate. An infection the body is searching for and seeking to eliminate. I can't separate the two. One and other, holiness and monstrosity. I want to write about them and mix the imagery - a holy monster, a monstrous saint. I am a child standing at the fountain soda machine and pushing all the buttons. I love myth for that, because you're given imagery and a language to evoke this. Is a chimera evil? Medusa had her head cut off for a bad hair day, but was it her fault? I always come back to this quote from Ocean Vuong in On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous:

“What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.”

5. desire, sexuality, and erotism

Okay, so this is it. This is REALLY IT, which is - I KNOW - back to the body again. When I fixate, I fixate. But I want to be more specific. I'm fascinated with how we are creatures of desire. We're born needing. We need to be fed, to be cared for, to be held. We are a bundle of wants and that never changes, only the shape of our desires change. How do we introduce ourselves? "Hi, I am so and so and when I grow up I want to be -" So many things are about our desire. We struggle with it so much, with the wanting and the inability to have. With our shame for wanting. We want to eat and feel guilt for it. We want to sleep in and feel ashamed. We want, we want, we want. It is endless and consuming. I love characters tormented by desire, twisting their shame into spiraling rituals around it. Have you ever read Hunger by Knut Hamsun? It changed me. This is a man who wants very simple things but who damns himself in his rejection of his want. I love that. I'm fascinated. Desire is so endlessly bewitching because I want to understand why we desire the things we do. I remember reading Crash by J.G. Ballard and coming away floored by this erotic desire that was so strange to me, so completely and wholly not my own, yet somehow familiar in the viscerality of it. In truth, I frequently reverse-engineer my original characters. I begin with a kink and one wholly incorrect fact that they adamantly believe and then build them from there. Beginning with the kink is so fun for me, because I want to then ask how did you get here, what is your relationship to this eroticism and why, how do you feel about it, how do you share it? Whether or not I ever include the sexual life of the character or the kink itself doesn't matter, but it tends to prompt a lot of thought about who the character is and why. If we are the sum of our desires, then I figure it helps to take a good, long look at them.

it's also worth noting that while they both have tags to talk about each other as lovers and are openly mutuals who frequently debate together, neither have told anyone that they are boyfriends. so no one knows Capper's boyfriend he calls "The Boytoy" that he insisted is an emo deity is actually Pine, and no one knows Pine's beloved "Magpie" who he speaks so highly of is the shitshow king Capper

16th October 2023: Lakeside and home

Flora and fauna pictures taken in this set: 1. Some stunning common toadflax just outside the park on the pavement to the east, a favourite flower of mine in bright clumps currently that I've enjoyed here throughout the year it was nice to have a chance to get photos with my DSLR and macro lens today. 2. A mesmerising Mistle Thrush, one of a few I saw. They're birds I find so sweet to see, they're dashing and powerful. 3. A Lesser Redpoll, one of six I was euphoric to spot in the birches at the east of the southern fenced off area and I saw them flying around a bit, gleeful moments spent in awe of these mini finches. Interestingly like Mistle Thrush was on New Year's Day, Lesser Redpoll was a patch tick for me in March here so it was brilliant to get these into another autumn/winter here birds I love seeing. There were around six Mistle Thrushes I saw all together so these two species were intertwined today. 4. A record shot of a Jay. I was amazed enough as it is to get wonderful views of this one of my favourite birds and crows again here today and get a photo, and it adds yet another great little trend to my phenomenal year of wildlife that I've now photographed all eight British crow species this year. I like my corvids and it's a unique point of this year that like 2019 I had the chance and was able to see them all so to get the pictures is nice. 5. A delightful scene of a bee on purple teasel. 6. A gorgeous Roe Deer I was privileged to watch in the northern fenced off area both from the northern path and the central path between the fenced off areas. It's always magical to see these mammals which I've had a top year for, especially here. Not long after 3pm in the afternoon not when I'm often here it was peaceful which meant it was more bold perhaps. 7. Mallard. 8. Broad-leaved clover. 9. Viper's-bugloss another flower I love. 10. Another key bird today, Carrion Crow.

On a day off today it was fantastic to get out to Lakeside twice a two hour walk around and then about an hour one later, and it amazed me as it always does the differences in the list of things seen to Saturday when I also did a longer walk round here to the lunch time and evening ones, showing that no two days are the same. Great Spotted Woodpecker and Green Woodpecker (I can't have seen both of these and Jay a fellow flamboyant favourite of mine on one day at Lakeside much/ever before, or many places) were other standout birds. I also enjoyed seeing Buzzards again, Kestrel really well near the entrance at the start of the first walk, my first Wren seen for a little bit, Dunnock, Goldfinches, Chaffinch again, Great Tit, Jackdaw, Magpie, House Sparrow, Starling, possibly a Redwing, Great Crested Grebe, Greylag Geese, Moorhen including a growing youngster, Coot as well as Grey Squirrels seen nicely they're around in numbers here lately, Red Admiral and Common Darter. Goldfinches and Collared Doves were joyous birds seen at home today. Knapweed, hedgerow and meadow crane's-bill, common mallow near the common toadflax, white clover, white deadnettle, hogweed, old man's beard, oxeye daisy, chamomile, bramble flower, cleavers, marjoram, dock on the green out the front and in Lakeside, rose hips, hawthorn, firethorn and privet berries and apples were other good plants/fruit seen.

book 9 of 2023 - completed march 14

tumblr is just absolutely chewing up that picture quality, huh?

i just finished supernova by marissa meyer, making it my ninth finished book of the year! i read this book series back when it was first coming out, and decided to reread it this year. i enjoyed it a lot - the lunar chronicles was my favorite book series for a while, so i've checked out marissa meyer's other titles a lot. however, i think the end (especially the epilogue) kind of undermined itself.

ending your trilogy (which is about how no one is 100% hero and no one is 100% villain) with a few lines about how some people are meant to be heroes and some are meant to be villains is kind of hypocritical. i don't know if that was meant to be showing magpie's immaturity or something, but i found it kind of antithetical to the meaning of the series.

regardless, i really enjoy a lot of the characters in this series! the way that the powers work is also really interesting, and overall i did enjoy the series.

Hey Honey Girl how are you today? 😁

So I’m having a thought. I realized that Cottage core and « haunted house » horror were at two opposites of the ‘old country house’ spectrum. And that is why they have the same lack of effect on me.

I’ve lived in an centuries old farmhouse for over a decade, and it has significantly thrown off the groove of it all 😆

I mean, sure it’s great sometimes to see the stars and the sun come up, and have a nice relationship with the magpies who live next door. And sure, the house was definitely haunted as fuck, and many people had died in it because that’s what happens in old farmhouses. But I find this neither scary nor overly whimsical, because it’s become part of my life.

So whenever I see a cotragecore post about the beauty of the dewy grass in the morning, I’m like « should I tell them the house probably makes the sheets smell like mold and that mice live in the walls and eat the pasta from the cupboards? » but at the same time I love that the place I lived in for years is such a source of dreams and wishful thinking.

Same with haunted house horrors, I always think « man, real ghosts would never do that, they can’t hurt you like this calm the fuck down Jeremy 🤌» but at the same time it’s real fun to see what consisted of my day to day life transformed into a thrilling tale of evil forces and demons.

At the end of the day, this old house has become like a person in my life, an old lady who takes care of the people living in her walls. So like every other person, she has some good and some bad in her, you can’t limit her to one of the other because she’s more complicated than that.

Maybe that’s why I felt like saying all this, I wanted to talk on behalf of my old lady of a house: don’t believe everything you hear, you have to live with her to make up your own mind about her!

inkaaaa hi hi <3 my day was very busy but overall not bad. hope yours was nice!

ooh this makes me wonder if part of the draw is that it’s ia sort of fantasy in a way? like how lots of people enjoy visiting country homes or farms as a fun occasion but far fewer people end up going for a full-on homestead lifestyle. and on the flip side, people like exploring abandoned places or going ghost hunting at night but again, don’t actually make the switch to an addams family style household. kind of like a fun way to play and dream without all the boring or less desirable realities?

I really love how you can keep in touch with your experiences while still suspending a little bit of reality to picture what others may see - the ‘dreams and wishful thinking’ and the ‘thrilling tale of evil forces and demons’. finding excitement and joy in everyday things is such a gift!

also the way you talk about your house is so endearing 🥰

Hey Eir! How about Logince for the ship ask game? <3

Who said “I love you” first Roman. Look, passion bubbles in his chest and his nerd is falling in love with him. He has to profess his love to him!

Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background They are both saps and have the picture of the other as background. Or maybe even matching ones with Logan reasoning that it is "only logical" and Roman totally supporting his boyfriend's logical thinking.

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror Roman. Logan thinks it's cute but sometimes gets annoyed at the smudges. but when Ro has a rough time, Logan might just draw a little heart on the mirror and it always manages to cheer Roman up.

Who buys the other cheesy gifts Logan. He's bad at love languages but also has the instincts of a magpie and knows "cheesy glitter things make Roman go brrr". Man has never bought roses but there are about twenty cat heart figurines in Roman's shelf designated for sappy gifts from his boyfriend.

Who initiated the first kiss Mutual effort. Just a look and both started to lean in. It was one of the few moments they just agreed on what to do next. Really they still often kiss like that.

Who kisses the other awake in the morning Roman kisses Logan awake. Both of them don't sleep a lot but Logan has the tendency to stay a little longer in bed when he has nothing scheduled. So when that occurs, Roman might get up first, make some coffee, prepare some breakfast, and goes back to bed to kiss his beloved awake. Logan does enjoy the pampering.

Who starts tickle fights Roman. Though Logan always wins and he still believes that one day he will end up the winner. He won't😌

Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower Roman. When he has a high need for affection he will ask for them to shower together. Usually, Logan complies since he understands that Roman needs some extra care. Also, sometimes it's nice to have cuddly (or a little horny) prince in the shower with you.

Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch Roman started it but they regularly show up at the other's workspace just as a surprise. At Logan's workplace though nobody knows that Roman is Logan's boyfriend because Roman keeps it down a lot whereas everyone at Roman's workplace is very aware of their relationship because the first thing Logan did when he visits Roman is kiss him straight on the lips.

Who was nervous and shy on the first date Neither. Their first official date was on a dare and they bickered and tried to outdo the other the whole time only to realise at the end that they had a great time together. They were both a little timid on the second date though.

Who kills/takes out the spiders Roman. Let him be the brave hero he wants to be. Logan is very deadpan about being saved from the foul beasts but he lets him do it.

Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk Logan. Roman is just whiny and clingy when drunk but Logan goes out of his way to loudly present Roman to everybody around them and says how beautiful and attractive he is, and how he is the best kisser, and that he loves him so very much.

Aah. I love them so much. Such good boys.

Well, here it goes! Have fun @lickoutyourbrains and @thecrowslullaby 😉 Also inspired by this picture I drew

Masterpost | Taglist | Read on AO3 |

“Fuck, Virgil, I can’t believe I say this, but stop cackling like a madman! I think we have a fucking problem right now,” Remus shouted slowly lowering his phone away from the lightly drugged deceitful facet in front of him.

Janus was still weakly gnawing at the huge not ostrich egg somebody, (thank you Roman) had left in the living room, and while he looked objectively adorable with his dilated eyes and drooling all over the shell but knowing now what the egg really was and considering how long Janus had already been like this, they may have had reasons to worry. Virgil apparently didn’t agree and was still cackling as Remus stopped filming and walked over to Janus and the egg. He stemmed his hands in his hips and sighed as Janus rubbed his face against the shell like a cat would do to claim its possession over the object of their choosing.

“Do the effects of the ‘snakenip’ always hold on that long?” Logan asked from the side.

By now the teacher wasn’t looking nearly as smug as in the beginning and Remus shot him a pissed grin.

“Oh having second thoughts on your revenge now?” he said lowly. “Drugging someone because they ate the rest of your crofters is such a funny thought, really! You’re the pinnacle of humour!”

Logan sputtered and walked up next to Remus: “Virgil reassured me that it would last barely 5 minutes! I even halved the doses he recommended!”

A sudden realisation hit Remus and at once Virgil was very still. In slow motion, Remus turned around to face the anxious side who suddenly became really small. Remus growled at him, ready to jump as Virgil promptly sunk out. With a scream Remus was about to run after him to his room, only stopped by Roman holding him in place and telling him that violence wouldn’t help the issue at hand. They would have to fix this first before he could deal with Virgil.

“You’re the one talking!” Remus snapped at Roman but turned back to Janus and his egg. “Why the fuck would you take the egg of a fucking DRAGON?! Are you out of your mind?!”

“The knights of the kingdom hat already slain the mother when I got there! And I couldn’t leave the egg! The poor thing would die on its one, and if not it would probably plot revenge against my kingdom for killing its mom, so bringing it here and hatching it, seemed like a reasonable choice at the time!” Roman explained himself weakly.

Remus just shot him a stink eye. He would have to kill some stupid knights. Or torture them, if he wanted to be really mean.

A grumpy snarl captured Remus’s attention back on Janus and he looked at his high gremlin and the egg. He had stopped trying to chew on it and was now full-on hugging the darn thing.

“That looks kinda cute,” Patton commented.

Remus didn’t think so though. Cursing under his breath he finally approached Janus and tried to pry him away from the egg. Unsurprisingly to Remus, Janus didn’t budge an inch. The imp was using his snake strength to hold onto the damned egg.

“Nerd get here and help me separate them before he imprints on that fucking egg!” Remus snarled through his teeth.

Logan didn’t move and Remus shot him an angry glare to which he answered: “Why me? I’m not known for my strength and what do you mean with imprinting?”

“You, because you are responsible for him being like this and because the other two idiots are going to prepare a nest for anthe egg-” he shot Patton and Roman a unquestionable glare to which both responded by rapidly scrambling away - “and ‘imprinting’ means exactly what it means! He’s gonna get attached to the freaking thing and we’re gonna have to deal with a baby dragon following him around 24/7 if we’re not doing something. Right. Now.”

That was all it took for Logan to get into motion and he ran to Remus’s side to help him pull Janus away from the egg. Logan slung his hands around Janus’s middle as Remus tried to pry away Janus’s arms from the egg.

“How on earth is he this strong? He’s half my size,” Logan groaned.

Huffing in agreement Remus managed to pry the gloved hands away which caused Janus to whine in dismay.

“Oh please,” Logan grumbled and yanked Janus away, “you’ll be grateful for this once your mind is back here with us.”

For a second Janus’s grip loosened as he heard Logan’s voice so close by his ear and the two mad scientists managed to pry him away from his snack/baby. Remus pulled Logan further away from the egg and motioned him to settle on the couch with Janus on his lap.

“Don’t let go of him yet. He might try to get back to it before we can get it to its nest,” Remus explained.

Before Logan could agree to it Janus whined on his lap: “you TAKE EGG from janus? you take his precious like the lollipop from the baby? oh! oh! jail for sides! jail for sides for One Thousand Years!!!!”

“Oh lord.”

“Shit. Now he’s getting into his cranky state,” Remus said bemused and watched him wiggle in Logan’s lap.

“What am I supposed to do now?” Logan asked panicking.

“I don’t know! I’m here for the chaos and you for the brains! Think of something!”

Idea for an angsty Roman AU

Roman wants to disappear but doesn't want to influence Thomas badly. So he takes the most important functions out of him one night and distributes them to the other sides one night before he disappears into the Imagination. Janus, Logan and Virgil receive them, with a note on their door (he doesn't want to overwhelm Patton even more and Remus already has enough as the sole Creativity from now on).

Janus gets the "Ego" and his note says: You always wanted Thomas to thrive. I wasn't brave enough to stand up for him while you were. I trust you to get him farther than I ever could.

Logan gets the "Hopes" and his note says: Maybe you are a robot but you always had a figuratively big heart. I know that with your mind Thomas will be able to find a way to make his hopes come true.

Virgil gets the "Wants" and his note says: You already have proven to be braver and more determined than I back then with Nico, even though you didn't want it as badly as I did. With them, you will make Thomas unstoppable.

___

That's the concept and then I have also this idea for what might happen later:

The others have found Roman in the Imagination. He's no longer Roman though; he's the Hero, the Prince, the Knight who is saving the people in a small valley at the border of the Imagination. They try to talk with him, convince him to come back. Janus explains that he is not meant to hold the ego and protect it. Virgil says his focus is getting even worse with the additional desires, Roman has handed over to him. The Hero deflects, even tells them how to deal with it better, how Roman dealt with it and both have to admit that his solutions weren't that bad. Still, they tried to insist for Roman to come back. The Hero ignores it.

Logan takes his turn to talk with him. Speaks of all these hopes Thomas has, all the plans and ideas and the Hero smiles fondly as Logan tells him as much.

L: Now you must see that you need to take them back, correct?

H: I do not, no. I'm no longer the Roman you are talking off, and you of all of them must know.

L: Nonsense. Roman is the Hero and Prince you are. He and you are one side.

H: Roman was more than I am. And you know it. You know that what I am now is flat and simple. I am the things, which made Roman fallible. I am the Hero who saved the people he threw into danger. I am the Prince with no kingdom to inherit. I am the knight with the will to fight and no monster to slay.

L: No-

H: Yes. (He says kindly but with no space to disagree) And Thomas doesn't need a Hero, a Prince, or a Knight. He needs his Ego in the hands of the guardian of beginnings and ends, always able to find a way to hide and protect it if needed. He needs his Wants represented by the fiercest fighter, always willing to push further and knowing his own limits all the same. He needs his Hopes collected by-

L: -a realist? A teacher? I don't see how I am the best fit for this.

The Hero smiles.

H: He needs his Hopes collected by a scientist with the wondrous mind of a child. You spoke and tried to persuade me with the words of an excited elementary schooler. Roman had hoped (ha) that his facet would bring that wonder back to you. He had missed it in you.

Logan is taken aback. He didn't expect this.

L: What are you insinuating?

H: When you were children, you would help him with his ideas. When you were studying you would help form his ideals and hopes over the years, through the topics you read and learnt about. Roman's domain isn't simple and clear cut. The contents of what he controls are highly influenced by all of you. Thomas's beliefs will shape his Wants, as well as his self-preservation, does. The Ego is a reflection of what we think other people see in us. It's an interpretation. His Hopes are connected deeply with his fears and his knowledge of what is possible and what is not. These important parts of Roman, you all made.

Logan shakes his head. The Hero steps up to him and squeezes his shoulder.

H: The Hero is the one thing that is uniquely Roman. It's what wasn't influenced by any of you but by Thomas. The Hero, the Prince, and the Knight. That's unique about Roman.

Logan's breath hitches.

H: And that's not something Thomas needs anymore.

I couldn't resist.

Logan put snakenip in his wine as revenge for stealing his Crofters. Remus is filming, Virgil is hollering in the corner, Patton is very concerned and Roman has yet to correct Remus that this isn't a ostrich egg.

Inspiration for the pic is from this post.
