Hi. I'm Birdie and I'm a theatre professional who is occasionally about a billion other things including but not limited to a musician, a painter, a writer, a damn good cook, and a traveler. I wish words were physical so I could crunch them in my teeth. This is a blog an absolute mishmash of things interesting to me... fandom stuff, art, music, interesting political, medical, and science posts, cute animals, and homesteading and crafting stuff. Lately, it's started to morph into an art blog because in 2024 I started oil painting and I've been using Tumblr to trawl for inspiration. I am not very good at tagging, so follow with caution, especially if you're worried about harsh language, violent or NSFW images or medical stuff. I also don't censor words. I definitely understand this blog won't be for everyone just as every blog isn't for me, so feel free to block me, but I don't need to hear about it. Know that I respect your decision just as I hope you respect my decision to post what I want. Due the influx of bots making it harder to figure out if new followers are actual people or bots, if you want to follow me, send me a message or reblog a few of my things. Especially if your blog is blank. Otherwise I'm blocking you outright. I don't bite, I promise. Also please don't send me requests for money or gofundmes unless I know you in real life. As in, we could go get coffee together. I absolutely will report you since it's obvious you haven't actually looked at my blog. If you're interested in fanfiction for Hannibal, AoS, MCU, and Newsroom, find me under the handle Hesterbyrde on AO3. If you're interested in classical music, my music blog is @mygrandmotherspiano. If you're into Hannibal, I'm over at @drowningortolan. If you're interested in my painting you can find my stuff at @oilpaintingfortheendoftheworld

at this point I’m tired of putting “prefer not to answer” on my job applications when they ask me my gender. Remove the question. I will never answer. My identity is a surprise you find out at the interview when I show up appearing as gender ambiguous as humanly possible in order to disguise the fact I am thousands of bees in a skin suit. No I am not buzzing. There was no option for Hive Insects on the form. This was your decision. I am consequences.

huge fan of the depth of a good purple but another area that draws me is definitely around aquamarine/turquoise/seafoam. you can not go wrong once the green starts getting just a tinge more blue. a gal could certainly do worse than to pull over there and stay a while

"For anyone who doesn't know what a Bacon number is, it is the degrees of separation a person is from the actor Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon's number is 0, Someone who has worked with him directly's number is 1. Someone who has worked with that person's number is 2, and so on. (Here is a link to the Wikapedia page on Bacon numbers for more details.)
If you don't know your Bacon number, you can check it on The Oracle of Bacon by putting in the name of the most famous person that you or someone you know have met"

i have never seen a single 'pirates of the caribbean' film so my friend insisted that i watch the first one with her and i'm obsessed.
the villain’s origin story is that he can’t eat apples anymore. every fight scene plays like a slapstick comedy. two key combat sequences end with our sexy leading men getting boinked on the head. the climax is initiated by one ship firing forks at another ship. everyone is unreasonably hot. plot armor made only of the word “parlay”. the Redcoats are more useless than you could possibly imagine. Elizabeth almost drowns, gets held hostage, and then her entire village is destroyed but the worst part of her day is that a man proposed to her. a crew of skeleton pirates do drag to trojan horse their way into the final battle. truly insane stuff can't wait for more.
