#the night-bird’s feather

[all-dogs-r-queens]

Anyone else feel that Jenna Moran’s writing has steadily gotten less “Magical Realism, sometimes quite meta” and more and more “Fairy Tales that give you existential dread, sometimes quite meta”

Honestly I love it and to cake myself in it but it might be a bit harder to run a trpg campaign in while maintaining the player’s expectations of reality, assuming that events in your glitch campaign happen chronologically.

I will not say that you should immediately go and pre-order The Night-Bird’s Feather by Jenna Moran; encouraging people to put down money for media sight-unseen is not something I’m given to do.

I will, however, observe that the chapter I’m currently working my way through concerns a woman being challenged by her beloved’s father to complete a series of impossible tasks, as one does, and I’ve just come to the part where her solution to these challenges has somehow managed to involve a giant mechanical spider.

"Opal"

It is said that Opal Dragons are born from shooting stars. While highly unlikely, there is not sufficient evidence to disprove this theory. Opal dragons are exceedingly rare and prefer to spend most of their time above the clouds.

It's a bonus episode! This time around we read a book which is about one hundred different things but may be primarily a cautionary tale about trying to raise children to be heroes. With special guest Leora!

Random headcanon/au thing brought to you directly from my brain:

Swan hybrid Jack Rose

Like mans just straight up has wings (swan wings ofc, they're red with pink tips because i Do Not Care about realism but instead about color schemes and vibes). Little down feathers in his hair. Talons as nails. Perhaps even tail feathers? And definitely feathered ears

Like,,,, imagine the fluff potential y'all.

Or better yet... Imagine the angst potential

Finishing up some edits and attempting to play through additional paths. Might be a little behind with the update, possibly late tonight or tomorrow evening. Stay tuned!

On the eighth day of drawings, my true love gave to me…

A Cozy Sleigh Ride!

Thank you to @jokerislandgirl32 for this sweet suggestion! Zach decided to surprise Alessandra with a lovely sleigh ride through the park on a snowy winter night! They’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be!

Loved figuring out this sweet pose for the cute couple! The sleigh ride idea is so adorable and I love it! Remember to keep commenting your Christmas prompt suggestions on this post!

the daudrey/naudrey debate is so funny to me sometimes bc like. i think watching the show, NONE of them should've been together on their own, you know? naudrey was ,,,,,,,, imo a bit toxic.... but so were daudrey! time and time again audrey manipulated duke! she literally used his family curse against him to make him kill someone! i think whenever i see the "daudrey should've been together!!" i kind of agree, but they would Never have worked well long term. like...we didn't even see naudrey work out long term technically. i like the idea of daudrey, and real ones know they were my otp, but holy shit...................there's like no way that daudrey (without nathan too, aka threegulls) would've worked out like. at all.

TL;DR version of that last post for the morning crowd:

The Night-Bird’s Feather by Dr. Jenna Moran came out today  

It’s an anthology of literary fables about the violence of perception  

There’s a giant mechanical spider  

(The spider is not the focus of the narrative)  

Yes, as in the author of Nobilis, Glitch, Chuubo’s Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine, and all those other esoteric tabletop RPGs I keep banging on about – that Dr. Jenna Moran  

Said author is planning on releasing a public playtest draft of Nobilis 4th Edition next month if The Night-Bird’s Feather hits its sales targets for the last week of September  

You know, if you’re into that sort of thing

' --- wha ! '

CRASH . CLATTER . things are falling and breaking . the sound of enormous wings beating and folding fills the surroundings as he appears from the interior of a ( very lovely , he might have said under different circumstances , ) painting . there are black feathers getting absolutely everywhere as he scrambles to stand up . ' this is ... ? ' not quite whatever place he was hoping for , apparently . ' w-wrong ! sorry ! it's the wrong one again ! '

today i got to visit my school’s collection of rare scientific books… it was SO COOL being able to handle something so old and delicate. i hope to be back soon!!

[weheartstims]

could i an evilnotion (friday night stabby) themed stimboard with plague doctor masks and wing stims (preferably vulture but if not then any black feathered wing will do)? i'd prefer mostly greyscale/black colours but red works too

EvilNotion (Friday Night Stabby, Among Us) with plague doctor masks, vultures, and black feathered wings!
