Sandhill Cranes Dance - Sound Up!!!

My MIL sent us this video today and I’m going absolutely fucking feral over it!! I wish I could have seen this in person, I’m awestruck and obsessed. This pair of cranes has lived in the neighborhood for years, it’s amazing to see them when we drive through.

Sandhill cranes mate for life and perform their dance year-round to strengthen their bond and teach it to their colts. If one pair in a group of cranes starts dancing, surrounding pairs will join in. The dance begins with the partners bowing to each other. They then start picking up leaves in their beaks to throw in the air while leaping and flapping their wings, calling loudly. Sandhill cranes are notoriously secretive, so watching this video filled my heart with a joy that I can’t express in words. I hope you guys like it as well.

It’s been a year since I posted my first artwork on tumblr so I thought I do a redraw of that art work.

The old art work:

And the new artwork a year later!

They still are my two brain cells.

Is the Crane style/Deadly dancing stupid? A YouTuber I knew called it dumb and unfitting for the character. Personally I think Crane would learn how to fight (though not too much) to endure Batman's attacks/bullies.

I mean, no offense but that doesn't sound like a fun youtuber and more of a DC dudebro. Violence Dancing is fun and silly--just like how comics used to be fun and silly, and it's is derived from the dancing skills of Ichabod Crane. The idea of Jonathan morphing it into his own thing by researching chinese crane style, is really unqiue and cool imo. Now a days Scarecrow doesn't do much physical fighting but back in the 90s he was a formidable foe. An unwelcome change personally.

I think it's a great concept for his character!

Dramatic auspiscious tsuru (crane) pattern for this antique black base bridal furisode. More exactly, you can see here beautifully depicted tanchô (red-crowned crane), tsuru being a more generic term for this bird specie.

Crane is one of my less favourite traditional pattern, but even I must admit this dance of cranes is pretty stiking!

Do you think Scarecrow sometimes does the Wednesday dance when no one’s looking?

He 100% does…

Hello, Gotham City, if I can bend your ears a touch!

Y’all still have time aplenty, now, don’t hurry in a rush -

I’ve got a little shindig planned that kicks off at half-past ten,

So all y’all on the streets tonight - breathe safe, at least ‘til then.

Not hair nor thread’s in danger yet, I give my solemn vow;

But all y’all with my candles - you’ll want to light those now.

And when my Fright Night Party starts, when to the streets I go,

Then time alone will stop the dance and all its undertow.

Until then lovely citizens, may your Samhain be sweet!

But do take heed fair warning: I’m the Trick after your Treat.

Happy Halloween, now.
