the japanese paradise-flycatcher is a passerine bird distributed throughout southeast asia. this bird is known for their long, glossy ornamental tail feathers; only males have this flowing plumage, while females have shorter tails. females are also more chestnut-brown in coloration. these birds can also be distinguished by their bright blue eye rings. as their name implies, these birds are mainly insectivorous and catch their meals in flight. these birds are found in forest habitats, and have been suffering from population declines due to severe habitat loss.

This is not my first Viva Pinata oc nor will it be my last. But she does compete for one of my favorites.

So basically, Szoot is a shebat who was born a resident, but got entangled with Pester and injected with his weird green sour serum he gave Sherley in that one episode. Since it was injected and not drunken, it never wore off, and it let to a ton of psychological damage that gave her incredibly high anxiety. And when she's super stressed, she turns sour.

To compensate for that, she began doing, uhhhh, unethical medical treatments to herself. She learned that chewing nightberries (but not swallowing them), gives a euphoric feeling of bliss. So she does that super frequently to help with her anxiety.

Is it super unhealthy? Yeah. Does she care? She's too high to think that complexly lol.

Progress doodles below the cut:

There will be more that I will share cuz I love her, but that'll be a later post. Have a good day everyone :))

SO ppl who follow me might know about my fic... and while I probably should be writing, I may have started an animatic...This fic has been mostly for self-indulgents and I really never thought it would get the amount of love that it did. So I wanted to have something to celebrate hitting 50 followers on the fic. But- y'all kinda beat me. SO its definitely not finished but here are like the first 40 seconds (This needs to be edited and lengthened to fit lyrics) that are animated.

Thank you all for the support and love!

If Hangman would have been the MMC in TiP, do you think he would have been a better lover than Rooster? 👀👀👀

ohhh this one is so interesting! okay so there are two ways you could have meant this so I’m going to explore both for you:

Would Hangman have been a better lover (purely physically. in the sack. carnally. yknow. 👀.) So, giving them the same starting block, we’ll say that Hangman had also been in a long term relationship through all of his 20s, not slept around, solely the one partner for the majority of his adult life. I think that Hangman, as a character, feels the need to prove himself more than Rooster does.

He’s a chauvinist through the entire movie, and hes not afraid to bring other people down to make himself look better. I think that (knowing what someone significantly younger would be looking for) Jake would begin the relationship with his best qualities. He’d be phenomenal in bed, he’d balance between gentlemanly and dominant — he’d capture her attention.

Outside of the bedroom, I think he wouldn’t be afraid to take it further than Rooster. He’d happily pose for pictures with her and meet her friends and send roses to her work. I truly don’t think he would let reader see the side of him that doubts her until it’s too late. That being said, I think he would try to let her down more gently if that’s what he wanted. I think he’s more decisive than Rooster and may not have been soooo cruel

All in all, I don’t think he could even measure up. He’s hot, and he’s good in bed. But he just cannot match the devotion, the hot and cold and the sex appeal that TiP Rooster exudes

Underrated Travel Hacking Tips for Everyone

I haven’t taken a vacation for the last three years with good reason regarding the severity of the global health crisis and the economy of the US. Inflation is at an all-time high and the cost of everything from groceries to clothing increased.

On one of my work lunch breaks, I stumbled upon a YouTube video from professional, full time travel vloggers who enjoy saving money. I saw that the Youtuber went on a “travel hacking” trip around the world to save up miles and points for two weeks. I personally would not like to spend only a day in different countries while spending so much money to fly there. Also, I don’t want to pay the annual fees for travel credit cards. Therefore, I decided to do my own research to see which tips could work for any frugal traveler.

·         Link your accounts: Delta SkyMiles and Instacart have a partnership. Everyone needs groceries. I order from Costco every week to support my family and we buy the necessities (milk, meat, fruits, and vegetables) only to cut costs. Every one dollar spent on Instacart is one and a half miles on Delta. It racks up quickly.

·         Bonus Tip: Instacart has a great deal when an order is placed within a three-hour window, the customer receives two dollars off their order. More money in your wallet!

·         Best Credit Card: Amazon Prime Rewards Visa is the most economical credit card that has no annual fee. I invested in an Amazon Prime membership in 2016 and never looked back. It is the only streaming service that I pay for. Majority of my purchases are from Amazon and I received five percent back with each order. It is two percent back on restaurants, gas, and drugstores. There is one percent back on all other purchases.  The points can be used to buy anything that Amazon has on their website.

·         SkyMiles Shopping: Airlines like Delta have their own designated website where a customer can earn airline miles with their purchases. Every company listed on the website has a specific number of miles that a customer can earn. I love fitness and I buy my workout clothes from the website. During the holiday season, I was able to earn three miles per every one dollar spent for a Delta flight by buying two tie dye sweatshirts.

With the information that I learned and stated above, I booked my flight to Hilo, Hawaii and I posted some photographs that I took below. It was heavenly paradise.

The magical sunset that I experienced from the summit at my hotel.

It was so beautiful to see the aerial view of Hawaii from a helicopter and the scent of sea water was relaxing.

Finally got every single award in TiP!

I don't reccomend expanding the post since it's long ages, but if you are willing to, you've been warned.

Piñata awards

Plants awards

Tools awards

Can't put the Computer's records because they wouldn't fit but I have this:

This one is in English 'cause I wanted to hear the original voice acting of the game and forgot to change the language after.

I find quite funny the fact that I will have played this game for the first time at least 10 years ago, and only now I've beat it.
