Fun fact about me. When I was first figuring out my theriotypes, I thought my urge to sunbathe was related to a potential feline theriotype. It's a seal thing for me, though. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean I don't lay on the floor in my livingroom with my cat and soak up the sun. Turtle loves his floor time.

Bonus fun fact: Turtle, my cat, was actually born without a tail. He's just a little guy.

More TLT band AU sketching third house edition! More thoughts below 💀 also I think they’re currently singing Pink Rover by Scene Queen

Okay so Coronabeth has a terrible singing voice (but can absolutely shred, just isn’t allowed to bc the label won’t let her), so she just lip syncs vocals recorded by ianthe. She does have hella stage presence and has her own set of stans and has been kinds of dubbed the front woman of the group. I want to design her in a bunch of cute outfits like the ones Scene Queen wears because she deserves it

Ianthe records vocals for the both of them, having the range to sing things in a deeper register for corona and a higher octave for herself. She sings “her” parts live. Ianthe has a blackout/negative space sleeve representing her bone arm. The other two thinks it’s garish

Babs is a bassists and he’s so pretentious about it but unfortunately he kinda eats (haha get it because uh)

Overall I think they have vibe that’s a mix of Scene Queen, Ashnikko, a little bit of The Pretty Reckless. If you have any suggestions for artists with that vibe pleaseeee lmk

Congratulations to Ianthe Tridentarius for managing to Come Back Wrong from somebody else’s death. Nobody else is doing it like her.

06/05/2023-Lymington and Pennington

Pictures taken today in this set are of: 1. Little Tern in flight at Lymington, the main aim to see today and I was thrilled to get exquisite views of these delicate mustard-billed beauties. We really did get exceptional views of a decent number of them seeing them on the islands of Normandy lagoon and flying over the sea to fish seeing the one in the photo especially dive a few times and get fish which was just fascinating and powerful to watch. A key spring moment. 2. Ragwort at Lymington. 3 and 10. Curlew Sandpiper (with a Dunlin in the third photo where the Curlew Sandpiper has it’s head down), I was over the moon to hear this bird was around at Pennington after the Lymington walk so we went to look for it and I was amazed to see this rustic bird coming into strong red plumage wading on the flood. An exceptional bird to see, the earliest I’d ever seen one in a year we tend to see them in the summer or early autumn. A fantastic moment to take my bird year list to 198, level with my 2018 total to be my joint third highest ever year list which feels amazing. 4. My first bird’s-foot trefoil of the year which was nice. 5, 6, 8 and 9. Views at Lymington. 7. An adorable Lapwing chick which was saw a few of from one family after the adult they were hunkering under started walking, a heart filling springtime sight we often see on the visit to look for Little Terns here each year that I was hoping to see today. A great moment in a strong time for me seeing young birds.

Other highlights today were excellent views of courting Great Crested Grebes performing a bit of weed dance on the sea what a year I’ve had for seeing this, Whitethroat one I’m seeing well lately, Little Egret including a ringed one, Shelduck, Shoveler, Gadwall, Turnstone, brilliant Ringed Plover views and Avocet. A group of Eiders flying over the sea was smashing to see, with Common Terns seen well too at Normandy lagoon, Great Black-backed Gull and House Sparrow seen well. It was great to hear another Cuckoo this year too. A hirundine hat trick of House Martin, Sand Martin and Swallow stood out too I got breathtaking views of the two blue beauties especially and enjoyed seeing Swallows fly onto a fence at Pennington. Fumitory, cow parsley, vetch, broad-leaved over, bluebells, buttercups, forget-me-not, daisies, plantain and cleavers were other plant highlights. Buzzard in a field and my first oxeye daisies of the year were good journey sightings today with Collared Dove, Woodpigeon, Goldfinch and Starling seen well at home.
