#I JUST LIKE THINKING ABOUT BIRDS

Smitten rambles [again]

Thinking of the lead up to HEA again, you tell the princess you want to stay in the cabin to compromise a middle ground, the princess uncomfortably tells you that thats fine because it is what you want and smitten starts freaking out because it cant be that the princess is unhappy about staying with them, can it?, the thing im most interested by is the fact that he inmediatly starts finding a culprit about this, it has to be someone else it has to be the cabin itself and he tries to find solutions of how to remedy that, but when this happen what i genuinely thought would happen was smitten was going to blame himself about it but instead he tries to find any other reason than himself to blame, because his fantasy of the knight in shining armor rescuing the princess cant be the problem, right?, this is such insane rambles by now but I would like to think that smitten thought that he can't be the problem after all he only wants to make her happy but if the problems is him then what can he do, if the princess wants something from him that he can't give then what is he supossed to do, no he has to show her what he is, maybe if he showed her his feelings, how much he loves her, how he truly feels about her, maybe she will realize that he can be enough for her the way he is now and that she can be happy with him

Now im rambling into probably headcanon territory but I truly don't think smitten (and honestly the other voices as well but this a smitten ramble) doesn't know how to change himself or atleast doesn't even want to think about it, since theyre shards of TLQ theyre also stagnant like him, a facet of his self but as we can see with other voices (for example broken on apo with paranoid and hero) they can manage to change their view or atleast broaden their perspective about things, but smitten seems fixated on the fact that he can't be the problem if the princess is unhappy because he doesn't know what do in that scenario, he has to show her his feelings, the contents of his heart so that she will realize that she was wrong, that there is nothing wrong with him and she can make her happy still, this also comes with how little smitten thinks of himself, he has no self preservation when it comes to the princess and would do anything for her even if its for his own detriment but if it makes her happy then hes happy.

It's always so weird to come down from the biology heavens to see what the average person believes about animals, plants, ecosystems, just the world around them. I don't even mean things that one simply doesn't know because they've never been told or things that are confusing, I'm talking about people who genuinely do not see insects as animals. What are you saying. Every time I see a crawling or fluttering little guy I know that little guy has motivations and drive to fulfill those motivations. There are gears turning in their head! They are perceiving this world and they are drawing conclusions, they are conscious. And yet it's still a whole thing if various bugs of the world feel pain or if they are simply Instinct Machines that are Not Truly Aware of Anything At All????? Help!!!!!! How can you look at a little guy and think he is just the macroscopic animal version of a virus

So I'm leaving work and something darts in front of me, maybe 10ft away, too fast for me to see what it is. Peek around the tree blocking my path and I see this

Just like... a whole ass hawk. Dude's gotta be about 1.5ft tall. Massive fucking bird. And it's just staring me straight in my soul like this, even as I try to move ahead. It didn't budge. And there's only this path back to my car unless I want to walk on a busy highway. So I have the option of Death By Raptor or Death By Truck.

So I walk in the poison ivy filled patch off the sidewalk. Guy still isn't moving. Still staring me directly in the eyes. And I do this thing when animals are behaving strangely where I'll talk to them, so I'm just like, "Hey, man. I don't know you. You don't know me. This feels really threatening. I'm just trying to get to my car, dude. Can I get some space please? You're a big fucking bird. I see those claws. You could kill me right now, but I'd appreciate if you didn't, ok?"

It didn't move until I was about 2ft away. Again: I'm as far from it as I can be without walking into the street. It clearly wasn't going to budge. I walk past, thing flies up (silent, btw. Scary) and lands on a brick wall a little further ahead

Anyway. Weird guy. Nearly shit my pants when I noticed a bird big enough to carry off a fully grown cat was just... there, staring me in the face, unwilling to move away from me, a human, something it should see as a threat. I watched behind me the whole rest of the way to my car, just in case this bird decided to help me shed this mortal coil. 10/10 experience. Super cool guy.

My favorite scenes from The Odyssey (books 18 to 21)

Odysseus fighting a random beggar being its own book was not something I expected to enjoy this much when reading The Odyssey, but here we are.

Conquest vs. Mercy. I think it's the one time so far that she finally decides to just go all out, no holding back her punches. She's looking to vent her anger and he's looking for a fun fight, they both get what they want by beating tf out of each other

At some point a gal has so many posts labeled “Harry Du Bois coded” saved on her phone that she starts to think she might be the problem

had a(nother) nightmare

[bunnieswithknives]

hey in ur peri animatic: (https://youtu.be/OCqlRuDaXYU?si=K52WDu_vw9rg7chz) that I have been permanently obsessed over since today and have watched about 20 times by now so much that I have drawn & posted stuff based on it what was that partial bug form peri had?

I haven’t watched either of the show btw so if it’s explained in the show please tell me plsssss

OK, SO the bug thing is not technically canon to the series. It's based on my own headcanons for fairy biology, but i do have justifications for it!! Fairies have very strong shape-shifting abilities, so it would make sense that the form they show to humans isn't necessarily their true form(not to mention extreme that mimicry is very common in insects). And you want to know the visible traits almost every fairy has in common? Being very small with Insect-like wings.

The fact that their humanoid form isn't their true form in actually confirmed in the show! Cosmo and Wanda are revealed to look like biblically accurate pseudo-angels in the museum episode. (I say pseudo angels because the Flaming Sword of Eden is only debatably sentient and I don't think is considered an angel. Ophanim are also debatably not angels because they don't have wings (sorry for the angel tangent I like angels))

So wouldn't their true forms be angelic then? Well, yes. But I like bugs so. Also I have more headcanons to justify myself. I like to think that they have both a true-true form (incomprehensible to the human brain, probably exists mostly in a dimension invisible to us, that looks how we imagine biblically accurate angels), and a fairy form (which is visible to humans but is naturally very insect like and tends to scare people). So, in order to interact with humans, they have to learn to shapeshift into a humanoid form but will occasionally slip if they get too relaxed/aren't careful, hence the mandibles coming out when he yawns!

The reason they struggle so much more with human forms than the animals or objects they typically turn into is that, well, they aren't trying to convince those animals or objects. The more human they try to look, the harder it is to keep up convincingly. If you turn into a really uncanny squirrel, only other squirrels will notice. If you turn into a really uncanny human, they form a lynch mob and burn you at the stake.
