#swooping season

[nickyrollings-art]

Magpie decided to be a rogue because... does this one actually need explanation? He's here to stealth critical the back of your head, you'll never see him coming.

I wonder how a magpie would react if you just caught it while it was swooping you. Snatched midair like you fool, swooping me put you in grabbing range, whatcha gonna do now punk?

Had to vote for Australian magpies on the scary dinosaur poll, because they are out for blood. Like I love them, they’re super cool, but once I was bike riding with my dad and tone swooped him and poked a hole in his helmet somehow

yeah I've heard so many horror stories from Australians about swooping season

Happy Swooping Season, Mate!

today i learned that magpies arent the same

searching on google for ; what to feed wild magpies, (two magpies came up to me on the drive way so i fed them seeds,) and i didnt realise that i had to be more specific about the type of magpie and where its from

normal magpies for a lot of people-

awww so cute and fluffy i could just pet it awwwwwwwww

magpies where i live-

hello human i am deciding whether you will be murdered today i hope you said you last goodbyes

see there is a slight difference namely the size and what they eat

( first one eats berries and worms ect. and the second one eats meat, can be mince or chicken, some seeds, lizards, frogs you kinda get the point)

here in down under these fuckers are basically predators (as dangerous as the infamous drop bears), spring and summer these are peak swooping seasons meaning if you exit the house you will be suspect to these guys dropping down from the trees that they live in and attacking you, very few get out of this time alive and unharmed

unless you make friends/ allies with these birds, so that basically brought me to asking google if i could feed magpies meat then realizing that magpies arent the same and that people down here are left with the extremally intelligent ( i mean extremally like they can remember your face) swooping birds

So, Hollow Knight right? Popular, fun, Australian made game.

It has enemies that can fly, and said enemies like to swoop and attack you, right?

They are 100% just magpies.

today I was traumatised when a magpie swooped me and hit my head with its beak. I lost my shoe running down the street and now I don’t have a shoe. I hate spring

Cyber

sooo I saw Impulse's newest Hermitcraft 10 thumbnail and I SPED to draw his new skin! Credits to @maxx-doodles for the super fun cyberpunk design :) I like to think he's surveying the landscape and coming up with his next build idea.

I'm so normal about the fact that the crew chose to use the unicorn hoof of all things for Izzy's new leg, its unbelievably moving. The unicorn was the figurehead of the ship, and back then figureheads embodied the spirit of the vessel, offering the crew protection from harsh seas and safeguarding their homeward journeys. Now i don't think i need to really explain just how beautiful this is, but, I'm also incapable of shutting up about Israel Hands, so. Izzy seems to assume everyone still hates him, and is drinking his many sorrows away, alone in his room, not knowing that the crew fully recognizes that Izzy saved them from Blackbeard, that he chose to protect them. The note said that Izzy is the ships "new unicorn" i.e. the new figurehead, this means that he also embodies the spirit of the vessel, and that they have faith in his continued ability to protect them, as is the job of the figurehead. Even the fact the hoof was painted gold seems intentional, gold in the bible represents love and protection, as if they are saying thank you for protecting us, now let us paint you in our protection as well Izzy. When they knocked on his door to give him his present, Izzy derogatorily calls himself a cripple, showing that he's feeling particularly clumsy and weak after his fall in front of everyone, and assumes this must be how everyone sees him now as well. But, unicorns actually represent power and grace, they've not only enabled Izzy to feel sturdy again physically with a new leg, they've also taken a bit of the weight off his shoulders emotionally by proving to him that he's not alone. Similar to his new leg, they're willing to bear some of the burden for him. And that's the thing, Izzy always tries to do things on his own, he gets drunk alone, he cries alone, his version of self-healing involves coming up with stories about sharks biting his leg off, and he even does that alone too. Yet they're giving him a sign that no matter how much he tries to self isolate, he's actually shit out of luck because they're there for him. What I appreciate about this show of support is the fact that they didn't force Izzy to accept the gift face to face, rather, they left it outside his room, proving that they know him quite well, and didn't want to push him too far too fast. Just like their extending of friendship, they are letting Izzy come to them when he's ready. But what i love most of all is that it actually works, this is what finally snaps him out of his spiral of depression, and gets him sword training again, improving himself rather than giving up, and engaging with the crew and helping them. This one show of solidarity, gratitude, and compassion, opens his eyes to the fact that he's a part of their messed up family, he belongs to something, and this fact alters Izzy forever.
