THE EMPEROR Upright for Queen Tywin and Aerys?

Tya knows the Queen dislikes her, but Betha Blackwood can hardly hide her relief when they are done questioning the septon. No, he was not some drunken sot they found in a brothel.

It is not difficult, especially in the days of Aegon V, who very publicly broke a betrothal to his own sister to marry his true love, to find septons willing to publicly oppose the practice of sibling-marriage.

It was nearly as easy to find a fervent believer as it would have been to find a wastrel willing to marry them for a few coppers. Septon Reynald is steadfast. Yes, he was entirely sober, knew that his actions were counter to Prince Jaehaerys' will for his son, but believed 'twould be a greater sin to force Prince Aerys into marriage to his own sister, a match he did not consent to.

The Faith has outlawed forced marriage, after all, and has since the early days of the Andals. That does not mean it does not still happen, but in theory, both bride and groom are supposed to be willing.

High Septon after High Septon has affirmed that it is a grievous sin to force a man or woman into an unwanted match purely for the sake of material greed or mortal lust. Or even for supposed prophecy.

Seeing that the septon will not be intimidated into recanting or denying his actions- even sporting a few cuts and bruises from the Kingsguard, Prince Jaehaerys has stormed out in a fury. Princess Shaera is less wrathful but distraught over the shame this will bring upon Rhaella, rejected by her own brother.

"I cannot help but think this a boon for Rhaella," her mother snaps at her at one point, and that is when Tya knows they have won.

Aerys is doing a passable job of looking grim and sober, the duty-bound boy, but when the King throws up his hands and says he cannot repudiate the match, and they must write Lord Tytos immediately, he breaks into a giddy grin.

Tya keeps her composure- if she sits there smirking and preening, it will go badly for her, for the Queen thinks she is an arrogant, hard-faced little schemer who thinks only of her own advancement. But apparently she still prefers that to a dreaded match between her grandchildren.

Septon Reynald is still being punished, of course- sent off to some remote place to serve a godless community with hard labor- but he seems thrilled to have set some new precedent for defying the old ways of Valyria. Doubtless this is the first chapter in an illustrious career. Tya, meanwhile, manages to keep it all in until she and Aerys finally have a moment alone. She is sixteen; Aerys fourteen. While she likes Aerys, likes his fits of wild temper and silly, useless ambition, likes his gaudy manner of dress and his fierce dreams and his cruel streak, she does not actually believe herself in love.

She doesn't think she could ever love him the way a prince is meant to be loved. But in a few years, she supposes she might find him physically appealing. For now he is a slight, somewhat jittery boy, crushing her in an embrace which ignores the fact that she is three inches taller.

"We did it," he says. "We did it. Fuck!" He lets go of her and wheels around the room, his arms swinging at his sides. "Did you see the look on my father's stupid face? Gods! I'd give anything to have it painted on."

When he is dead, Tya thinks, that can be arranged. Jaehaerys has always been of fragile health. It's well-known. His children, however, are the picture of vitality. Doubtless half the realm will be scrambling for the chance to wed Rhaella, now that she is unattached.

Tya's money is on Steffon Baratheon; perhaps a cousin-marriage will console Jaehaerys and Shaera. Or perhaps they'll go for Hoster Tully instead. It was his aunt who Jaehaerys scorned for his own sister. Or maybe the Martell princeling.

Tya is decidedly ambivalent about Aerys' sister as a person- Rhaella has the personality of a cup of warm milk, in her opinion- but she does care who her goodsister weds. Deeply. She'd propose Kevan, but of course, she's not that stupid. Now her priority is breaking her sister's idiotic betrothal to the Frey.

"You were so brave," she says, though she's never been good at playing the gushing maiden, and Aerys knows it. He pretends that's what he wants, some insipid little wallflower hanging on his every word, but really, he likes a touch of frost.

He can't seem to decide if she's teasing him or not; he kisses her instead, which is, again, passable. A small burden to bear for his victory.

WAIT—

Okay so I’ve seen the theory of Tyto (Owl Mask) being Belos’ son (very cool) in conjunction with Tyto being half-witch half-human, with Belos actually being human (also super cool, loving it).

BUT I’ve also seen theories of Tyto being related to the Clawthornes in some way, and we know that Eda had direct access to a portal to the human realm. So what I’m saying is, what if Tyto is Eda’s son, half-witch half-human.

AHIT NPC/MOB IDEAS

Headcanons and basically just. Variants.

Mafia wear more suit. Mafia knows some fashion besides blue and pinstripes. Mafia also has makeover. Mafia Boss looks pretty neat and would like more style, yknow? Maybe some Mafia Goons turn out to be hired from the main town island- They look like regular people but just as confused. None are immune to Mustache Girl’s vibe-checking.

Dead Bird Studio with Better Security Guards: Owls, Penguins and even CAW Agents are dressed in suits and sometimes wear skull masks and sunglasses. Tie colours may vary and safety vests are commonly worn near machinery. More general variation in owls, penguins and even CAW Agents- Great horned, Tyto, Emperor, and so on.

Old sleepy Subcon has DRAGONS AND GRYPHONS AND MORE. Your usual fantasy mobs, the kind you’d see in old fairy tales. All that remains is their skeletons in the swamp now. Also the local unicorns are too stubborn to die and will become aggressive as the headless statues. Regular mob types (Spirits, Statues, Plants, Bugs) in current Subcon stay the same, though probably better organized- Spirits linger in towns, Statues mostly hang around in graveyards, Plants stay near the path, and Spiders prefer to stay high up. 

Snatcher attempts to contract some of these mobs, but the minion cloaks don’t always fit- You’ll know if they work for him though! And it hopefully wont be too late!

Alpine Skyline nomads are definitely goats and theres more types of them as they grow into Big Goats. Different horn types, different fur, and each of them say different things about the Transcendent Twilight Bell Goat. They do not get along with the Birdhouse all that much (stealing their eggs) nor the Lazy Paw Gang. Luckily they all reach an agreement of sorts, and the Gang steals from newcomers instead.

The seals... They Are Many. You Cannot Stop Them. Run.

Nyakuza metro cats are almost perfect with their different sizes- now get ready for calicos, chimeras, tabbies, torties and more. Empress is still the tallest one, just so you know she’s boss.

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

I highly recommend having this survey open on your browser, doing research, and filling it out slowly. Because, birds. 

Palaeognaths

The first major division of modern birds (all the rest are Neognaths). Includes the Moa, Elephant Birds, Tinamous, Emus, Rheas, and Lithornithids. Casuarias and Struthio are ineligible, so don’t write in any Cassowaries or Ostriches. 

Highlights include the Kiwi, an adorable small with a long snoot; Aepyornis, the largest Neornithean known; the Emu, who has one of the funniest ways of running; and Lithornis, an extinct flying member of the group. 

Galloanserans 

The earliest derived group of Neognaths. Includes Gastornis & the very similar Dromornithids, Geese, Screamers, Ducks, Swans, Curassows, Guans, Megapodes, Partridges, Quails, Junglefowl, and Pheasants. Genera Pavo and Gallus are ineligible, so don’t write in any peafowl or the four junglefowl under Gallus (which includes the chicken). 

Highlights include Gastornis, which was actually a large herbivore rather than a super predator as thought; Vegavis, one of the earliest well-known Neornithes, being from the Cretaceous; Hooded Merganser, the duck with the very large crest that is quite impressive; and the Blue-billed Curassow, confirmed Friend and Curly Man. 

Caprimulgiformes & Opisthocomiformes

These two groups aren’t actually closely related, I just had to stick Opisthocomiformes somewhere. Caprimulgiformes include Oilbirds, Owlet-Nightjars, Frogmouths, Nighthawks, and Nightjars. Opisthocomiformes include Hoatzin. Genera Nyctibius and Opisthocomus are ineligible, so no potoos or the only modern Hoatzin. 

Highlights include the Satanic Nightjar, which looks exactly like you’d expect; the Tawny Frogmouth, who almost looks like a potoo if you squint; the Oilbird, which has some of the weirdest and spookiest eyes; and Hoazinoides, an extinct Hoatzin with feet like that of an owl. 

Apodiformes

Swifts, Treeswifts, and Hummingbirds. Nothing is ineligible. All are precious.

Highlights include the Bee Hummingbird, the smallest dinosaur known to science; the Common Swift, which looks like a boomerang; Eocypselus, an early relative of all these groups; and anything of the genera Sappho and Lesbia, which are the best genus names I’ve ever heard of.

Columbaves

Cuckoos, Turacos, Bustards, Pigeons, Doves, Sandgrouse, and Mesites. Genus Columba is ineligible, so don’t write in any of the “typical pigeons.” 

Highlights include the Dodo, which is not as dumb as we were lead to believe; the Bare-Faced Go-Away Bird, which represents Me at All Times; the Nicobar Pigeon, which has beautiful rainbow plumage; and the Kori Bustard, which has a really elegant neck and posture IMO. 

Gruiformes

Cranes, Crakes, Rails, Limpkin, Trumpeters, Flufftails, Finfoots, and Sungrebes. Nothing is ineligible. 

Highlights include the Whooping Crane, an endangered species with a distinctive call; the White-Spotted Flufftail, who has adorable spots on its butt; the Red-Legged Crake, which is red in lots of places besides its legs; and the Sungrebe, which has a nice blue cap on its head. 

Mirandornithes & Charadriiformes

Flamingos, Grebes, Waders, Snipes, Sandpipers, Jacanas, Wanderers, Gulls, Skimmers, Terns, Puffins, Skuas, Plovers, Buttonquails, Thick-Knees, Sheathbills, Ibisbills, Avocets, Oystercatchers, and Lapwings. Nothing is ineligible. 

Highlights include the Great Auk, an extinct large puffin that we as humans don’t deserve; the Ring-Billed Gull, whom I have a personal vendetta against; the Dovekie, a smol, adorable friend; and the Sanderling, one of the inspirations behind Pixar’s Piper. 

Ardeae

Tropicbirds, Kagu, Sunbittern, Loons, Albatross, Petrels, Storkss, Boobies, Cormorants, Pelicans, Hamerkop, Ibises, Spoonbills, Herons, Egrets, and Penguins. The genus Balaeniceps is ineligible, so don’t write in the Shoebill. 

Highlights include the Little Penguin, the smol adorable penguin of smol adorableness; the Least Bittern, who is indeed the Least Bittern; the Common Loon, against whom my partner Max (@plokool) has a personal vendetta; and the Emperor Penguin, which is the Pinnacle of Dinosaurian Evolution according to Thomas Holtz (well, okay, he said penguins in general were, but this is the emperor penguin, so...) 

Accipitrimorphs 

Vultures (both Old and New world), Ospreys, Hawks, Eagles, Kites. Genera Sagittarius and Gypaetus are ineligible, so don’t write in the Secretary Bird, or the Bearded Vulture. No, do not write in the Bearded Vulture, nor Lammergeier, nor Ossifrage. You will have wasted your vote. Do not do the thing. It doesn’t count. 

Highlights include Haast’s Eagle, an eagle so large it hunted the Moa; the Harpy Eagle, which honestly when you see it if you aren’t convinced birds are dinosaurs there’s nothing more I can do; the Turkey Vulture, or as I like to call it, the Bare-Faced Come-Hither Bird; and the Red-Tailed Hawk, aka, that sound you hear when people try to ignore that Bald Eagles are actually huge dorks. 

Strigiformes

Owls. Genus Tyto is ineligible, which is basically all barn owls and most of their close relatives, so just, don’t write that in. 

Highlights include Palaeoglaux, one of the earliest derived forms and may have been diurnal; the Burrowing Owl, who likes to dig them holes; the Snowy Owl, aka Hedwig; and the Fearful Owl, who looks exactly like what you’d expect. 

Coraciimorphs

Mousebirds, Cuckoo Roller, Trogons, Hornbills, Hoopoes, Rollers, Kingfishers, Woodpeckers, Toucans. Genus Dacelo is ineligible, which means no Kookaburras, none, do not write one in. 

Highlights include Septencoracias, aka a Friend and Boy; the Hoopoe, aka the Most Jewish bird; the Resplendent Quetzal, which truly is magnificently colored; and the Keel-Billed Toucan, who just really loves fruit okay?

Falconiformes & Cariamiformes

Serimas, Terror Birds, Bathornithids, Caracaras, and Falcons. Genus Titanis is ineligible, as is Falco peregrinus, the peregrine falcon. Since most falcons are under Falco, the rest of the genus is eligible. 

Highlights Include Phorusrhacos, one of the most Quintessential Terror Birds; the Red-Legged Seriema, who is just a very angry bird; the Pygmy Falcon, who is a Smol Ball of FURY; and the Northern Crested Caracara, who has distinctive purple-pinkish skin on its face. 

Parrots

... Parrots. The Kakapo, genus Strigops, is ineligible. 

Highlights include the Cockatiel, a common pet and soft friend; the African Grey Parrot, one of the smartest species of dinosaurs; Spix’s Macaw, a beautiful blue parrot on the brink of extinction; and the Mulga Parrot, a parrot with feathers that almost look like clay in certain lighting. 

Passerines

Perching birds. The vast majority of birds. Most birds are in this group. I am so sorry. Includes, but is not limited to, Pittas, Broadbills, Cotingas, Sharpbills, Flycatchers, Antthrushes, Ovenbirds, Lyrebirds, Scrub-birds, Bowerbirds, Honeyeaters, Fairywrens, Whistlers, Orioles, Vireos, Birds of Paradise, Jays, Satinbirds, Wattlebirds, Rockfowl, Tits, Chickadees, Larks, Nicators, Wren-Babblers, Swallows, Warblers, Babblers, Waxwings, Treecreepers, Thrushes, Oxpeckers, Mockingbirds, Sugarbirds, Sunbirds, Sparrows, Finches, Buntings, Cardinals, Whistlers, Woodshrikes. 

The genus Corvus is ineligible, which is a good portion of crows and ravens, so don’t write them in. There are so many passerines to choose from, you can pick another one. 

It’s, nearly impossible to pick four highlights, but here we go. Highlights include the Blue Jay, one of the most famous and beautiful perching birds; the Superb Bird of Paradise, who has one of the most spectacular mating dances of birds; the Great Tit, who truly is an amazing soft sphere of birb; and the House Sparrow, a feature of almost every major city and one of the dinosaurs often used to define the clade.

Good luck. Have fun. Voting will close February 24 (possibly earlier if we get enough votes in).

Who Is On First

A FrillyShirt classic, in that it happened a long time ago and it’s too late to do anything about it now.

Twotifort: I say I say now, Onestable, it was sure bally-bolly-jolly nice of you to purchase for me this American baseball team.

Onestable: Absodandy my pleasure, Twotifort, old egg! Have you acquainted yourself with the players yet?

Two: I haven’t had the opportunity, worst luck! Might you be kind enough to run me through the roster so I know who I’m dealing with?

One: Be delighted, vile wretch. The thing to know, y’see, the thing to know is that these American sports pros, they give themselves the queerest nicknames. Really most peculiar.

Two: Do they, my old cluster carbuncle? Well, list off the fielders for me; I’m sure I’ll pick it up.

One: Alrighty-righty, let’s see… Empirical Sense Data’s on first, Spinning Jenny’s on second, The Huge-

Two: Wait, wait, waitwaitwait. Emperor what?

One: Empirical Sense Data. You know, the foundation of knowledge in Locke’s epistemological philosophy! He’s the first baseman.

Two: …oh-hoh! And on second? Jenny? Is she pretty?

One: Spinning Jenny,  the defining invention of the first years of the Industrial Revolution. He’s a seven-foot lumper from Maine. Got a fierce right arm. Lions tattooed all up and down it!

Two: Oh, drat it all to the deepest reptilian pit. So who else have we got?

One: The Huguenot Diaspora’s on third, and They’re Free I’ll Take Ten is our catcher. We’ve got Jung’s Collective Unconscious in left field…

Two: I thought that theory went the way of the luminiferous aether?

One: News travels slow in left field.  Next, we’ve got Eighty-Eight Drachmas in right field, and A Parcel Of Sausages And Kidneys on shortstop.

Two: Eurgh!

One: Whaddaya say that for, old blind carthorse? He’s a fine fellow, I say, a fine fellow. Sells hair tonic; his sister’s a nun. If you’re going to eurgh a nun’s brother, I won’t bother none, but there’s some might take offence!

Two: I apologise with all the greatest sincerity of feeling a mortal man can muster. So, basemen, fieldsmen… as the table-spoon said to the fresh butter, who’s our pitcher?

One: The Sound An Owl Makes.

Two: Hoo?

One: I said The Sound An Owl Makes, you degenerate scoundrel!

Two: Have pity on a poor boy who has lost his parents frequently. What I meant was “hoo” as in “hooty hoo,” the sound an owl makes.

One: I do apologise for my foolish blunder! Though to divert the ridicule to your fine self, you’re thinking of the Typical Owl, while The Sound An Owl Makes is named in particular reference to the the species tyto alba erlangeri, endemic to the Aegean Islands and pandemic to my upstairs bathroom, noted for its screeching call which keeps my landlady up all night.

Two: How very extremely clever. Well, you were right, chum as in fishfood – those are the queerest nicknames I’ve ever heard.

One: It is a rum directory, isn’t it? Well, must dash; got to pick my duodenum up from the dry cleaners. See you at the first game!

Two: Give my love to your Aunt Enid!

some of today's doodles

me in my jammies for the squid server art event, the theme is bedtime

windmill mind flayer, the Emperor, and Omeluum

and the first sketch of my Abysmal creed master, he was mauled by a dragonborn captive that bit off his arm and half his face. I like to think that the teeth try to stay the correct number even if the tentacle is too short so they kinda just grow crowded until the tentacle grows back long enough for them to be evenly spaced again (once again I just like making them look like skeksis).
