Character post: Wydlin Styx

You know those characters you make that start as a joke but you end up getting attached? Yeah. Thats Wydlin

His design started as most of my Dy clones do, just making a new fandom version of my character Dylan. Gave him those tired eyes, elven/reptilian features, and made him an absolute delinquent.

Ended up coming up with the idea that he was undead, and rather than scales- it is actually moss that decorates his face. This made his final design as a h*rny yet oblivious zombie who honestly is just trying his best to survive in the constant- not realizing that he is actually already dead.

Wydlin's backstory

Wydlins origin was the first comic I drew with access to my new drawing tablet/program.

Wydlin is a Don't Starve oc. But I honestly dont take him seriously most of the time. His whole gimmick in his backstory and bringing him into Dream Riders is that he has bad luck, but with a silver lining. He is relentlessly attacked/hunted by the monsters of the constant, but he also has the ability to basically romance any monster from this world. It does not work on any humans, and it has a diluted effect on monsters from other dimensions. He just has such a way with words- even if he sounds like a broken saxaphone to folks from outside his world.

Underrated Corvids

Hello tis I, the bird nerd, here to yap about birds.

Everyone knows corvids: we’ve got crows, ravens, magpies, jays, rooks, and jackdaws. I wanna share some underappreciated corvids and some corvid facts!

🪶

Treepies

Treepies (Crypsirininae) are a subfamily of the Corvidae family who can be found within parts of Southern Asia. A total of twelve species of treepie are known: the collared treepie, grey treepies, rufous treepies, white bellied treepies, racket tailed treepies, bornean treepies, andaman treepies, hooded treepies, sumatran treepie, ratchet (not racket) tailed treepies, malayan and bornean black magpies, (are actually treepies!). Treepies share many similarities with magpies, such as general shape and intelligence.

Choughs

Choughs (Pyrrhocorax) are another lesser known subgroup of corvids. Some species of chough include the red-billed chough, and alpine choughs. White winged choughs do not belong to ghe Pyrrhocorax group, rather another, non-corvid group known as Corcoracidae.

Hooded Crows

I really just wanted to include my favorite kind of crow. The hooded crow can be found throughout Europe and Asia. They share similar coloration with jackdaws, but have a larger body and longer bill. Hooded crows are known by many nicknames: hoodies, scald crow, or grey crow.

Magpie-Jays

Magpie-jays (Calocitta) are a specific kind of jay that can be found in southern parts of North America, (usually Mexico). The two known species of magpie-jays are black-throated magpie-jays and white-throated magpie-jays

Lidth’s/Amami Jays

Native to only Japan, the lidth’s jay is a member of the genus Garrulus, old world jays, which includes two other jays: Eurasian jays and black-headed jays.

Thick-billed Ravens

This guys look so silly, so I had to include them. Thick-billed ravens share similarities with the white necked raven, but can be distinguished by the placement of their white marking, as it it found on the back of their head rather than neck. They are found within the Horn of Africa, Eritrea, Somalia, and Ethiopia.

I may be sharing more of these bird infodumps again this was fun lol.

My Owl House x TGS Au

[shitpostingkats]

Why are we pitting two bird bitches against one another?

[myersesque]

as a disabled person whose disability is genetic and incurable i will never stop celebrating the fact that kaz brekker is offered a cure and Actively Refuses It. a disabled character who is powerful and complex and allowed a relationship w their own disability that isn't just cut-and-paste self-loathing... can every other author pls take notes

the crows: *watching the polar express*

wylan: *whispering* "hey jes, did you know that the polar express was one of the first movies to use motion capture animation? they filmed pretty much all of the scenes with real life models and then animated over them. that's why it looks so creepy."

jesper: *internally* "i love this nerd so much"

I hear you have been having upsetting circumstances, would you like crow/corvid facts to cheer you up?

Crows, magpies and other corvids may not have an attraction to shiny objects, but rather things humans, other corvids or animals find important or interesting,( pet crows took an interest in their humans jewelry or coins may have started the myth ). This may come from the fact Crows like playing with objects they find interesting or other friends and flock mates find interesting. Play fighting over objects and pranks and keep away are common crow games after all. This all leads to play caching objects. Other games include aerial zoomies, hanging upside down vocal pranks ( repeating fun noises and scaring other animals) and sliding in snow.

Thank you, really. Btw I want to befriend the magpies around my area but I have no time. ;-;
