#Louis is my fave in this CACKLES

[ryuusea]

last few days of year of the rabbit?🐰 shoves rabbit tails & ears on yuumori characters, why not? 🤭

[ninyard]

hello! just wondering who do you use as your kevin fc for the fake tweets? you're SO funny btw, i keep rereading them and cackling at the idea of kevin making it into one of those your fave is problematic threads

Louis Garrel ! He’s a pretty popular face cast for Jean I think but he’s closer to my Kevin personally? but to be fair I do have more of him on my Jean board I just have a different fc that’s closer to my Jean. (Does that even make any sense??)

I also think Sidney Crosby

+ Hector Bellerin

are my Kevin’s tbh :)

[louisisalarrie]

I have another one "where do you want to sit" "next to you" (just stab me with an angel blade it would hurt less) --- Harry got Louis a Christmas present and it even has a little bow on it --- Louis' birthday party --- I think we kinda share that really --- any domestic larry

anon “where do you want to sit” “next to you” makes me cry every time they were just KIDS it hurts so much

and then them very obviously being told they can’t. god. vid here

HE WRAPPED IT HIMSELF AND IT HAS A BOW ON IT LOOK AT THID PROUD BABY

I assuuuuume you mean his 21st here hehehe so fucking cute look at that damn CAKE

THIS is also one of my absolute faves and like !!!!!!!! Zayn losing his shit so much he has to put his helmet on and Louis making fun of Liam the whole time it’s just too good. Also in this iconic interview:

- harry messing up his V day narrative 1:20

- the ongoing Liam’s kidney saga 1:55

- “special relationship” and the above quote 5:40

- “I’ve got the fastest time, 2 minutes, dead” “not an endurance man!” cackles 6:35

And everything about this interview, really, is just incredible. Niall cackles at everything louis says, Liam tries to be so serious and do the right thing, Louis is being an absolute RASCAL, Harry is being sooky and then forgetting the narrative, and zayn just losing it quietly in the corner.

Idk who’s idea it was to give 5 teenage boys (particularly Louis) redbull but my GOD it gave us some great content

Okay now listen…. I could do a whole masterpost on larry being domestic. It’s extremely hard to just pick a few faves, but damn…

FEATURING:

1. Harry dishing on how bad of a housemate Louis is but that he still wouldn’t live with anyone else im sobbing

2. Harry being up before louis every morning and making him a cup of tea I mean cOME OFF IT

3. Harry doing all the cooking in their house and FOR LOUIS

4. Harry bringing louis’ glasses over to him which may not seem like a big thing but it’s just so fucking cute and one of those little moments that we got to peek at but never see

anyway thanks anon I’ve now been crying for 2 hours

Ohndjxbd those are a lot of choices- do you have a favourite among them?

OH ABSOLUTELY!!! (I did say i have more than 10)

It's not a favourite they are favouriteS, and one of them is a very sad encanto love fic that i really wanna finish but ya know priorities to the multi-chapter fics i started posting so

anyway it's basically about a depressed oc whom at this point i dont remember the name of asking bruno to show her when she dies and when bruno shows her shes surprised she died at old age and didnt commit suicide. bruno, being himself decided to check up on her to make sure shes ok and falls in love yada yada im honestly not sure whether it still exists on my pc or not but it is a fave

another favourite is a bnha were i thought "Hey, wont it be funny if all the 1-A class were traitors to AFO but they didnt know the others were also traitors?" and that's basically the fic. all except for mineta and shinso. shinso thinks they are joking. Aizawa is also a traitor but thats like a part two if i finished part one

another bnha one is were izuku dies and comes back as a ghost but he doesnt knows hes dead he thinks its his quirk which actually maybe it is?? im not really sure myself but anyway upon descovering said quirk(??) he decides to haunt bakugo

another fun one is if both bakugo and izuku have a restrainig order on each other. i just thought "wouldnt it be funny if they legally cannot be around each other" and im still cackling

and now my newest fixation which is a multi-chapter fic is called "hook, line and sinker" it's also a bnha fic and its about my OC Louis being isekaid into bnha world and deciding "Ya know wat? this place is fucked up. im fixing that" and currently he's doing just that. the tone for this fic is different from how i summarised it here like they have very different vibes but anyways

other than ideas ive yet to start these are my favourite WIPS!!

[amandaisnotwriting]

What do you do when your it’s your main bro’s bday and you have photoshop, google, and a phone storage full of ridiculous pics she’s sent you??

Who's your ofmd glup shitto?

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week) -

it's so hard to find someone actually obscure in this show, but i have two. first, the guy who thinks Stede is a prositute and says they could have made magic - i love that guy!!

second, louis specifically, because i think he gets less content than alma, and thus is a lil more obscured. i cackled at his "who are you again, i thought doug was my daddy" scenes.

Road Trippery: Tulsa and St. Louis

Well we got up and ate our free breakfast and headed to Tulsa. It was actually a pretty short drive. We didn’t do much when we arrived but try to get everything ready for our big launch! 

Meanwhile in Shanghai my art was also having a launch!

Brandi and I spent the evening working and catching up with friends. We got chummy with the lady working the front desk named Kari. I was reading reviews of the hotel and many of them mentioned a front desk lady who seemed to be either people’s best friend or greatest enemy. We made sure to stay on her good side. She hooked us up with a room close to the elevator and some free packets of toothpaste. Yes you heard me...packets. 

Finally we made our way to grab some grubs. Turns out there’s a pretty significant vietnamese population in Tulsa and so we decided to eat at Lone Wolf. 

They had a a really interesting take on Vietnamese food. It was kind of vietnamese/korean fusion. Obviously we loved it.

Brandi wanted to try and take the kimchi fries home to our hotel...I convinced her that soggy, cold, kimchi fries would not be the most ideal breakfast. They also had a really cool soda machine and I had to try every flavor. My fave was black cherry tarragon!

Our next day was our biggest yet! We had a LOT of plans so we agreed to wake up early at 7. So naturally we got up at 8 and spent some time posting our first episode! We had more freehotel breakfast and had a nice time making friends with a random old lady who told us she liked our hair in the waffle line. Then we hit the road. 

Only about 45 min out from Tulsa we pulled over for a pit stop. Brandi will be doing a lil sis episode on this place so she knew more about it but for me it was a total surprise.

Apparently this is the largest totem pole in the US?? Tho technically it’s made of concrete so maybe it doesn’t count.

We made our way through idyllic, green farmland. All the cows looked so happy and everything was so cute! Honestly it looked fake. Like a commercial for a farm and not an actual farm. 

We made it to St Louis in the mid afternoon. Brandi and I had received a lot of recommendations to go to the city museum. We had already planned to hit up the art museum so I was kind of feeling like 2 museums was gunna be overkill. But BOY MAN this place was GREAT.

It was a labyrinth jungle gym that had everything from art exhibits, an aquarium, a magician, a few bars, vintage arcade, taxidermy, underground caverns, and a 10 story slide. 

Brandi and I lost it. We ran around with all the other kids and adults alike. Screaming, climbing, sliding, crawling, and generally getting lost. 

I saved a story on our instagram that has all our videos if you want to watch us scream at each other and cackle wildly all wile falling on our butts a lot.

Thoroughly bruised and sore we made our way to dinner. My friend recommended Baily’s range. It’s a burger joint with a cute vibe. I had a burger with rosemary cream cheese, gouda, bacon jam, and swangy bbq sauce. 

Brandi ordered a salad and the waitress made fun of her.

The waitress LOVED me however and she even brought me extra sauce for our fries and the biggest vegan ice cream in the world.

[crinkle-eyed-boo]

3 and please answer for each fic thank youu

3) favorite line/scene you wrote this year

You’re really gonna make me do this, aren’t you? Rude. 

OBVIOUSLY my favorite scene for You Be Stunning, Baby, I’ll Be Stunned is the anatomy study session because I STILL am not sure where it came from. (DORSAL VEIN)

Harry winks at him, nipping at his finger and then sliding down further, rucking Louis’ (his) shirt up, exposing his toned yet soft stomach. He noses against the golden skin, breathing Louis in as he presses a delicate kiss right above his belly button. Grinning wickedly up at Louis, Harry blows a raspberry on his tummy.“Harry!” Louis cackles, writhing underneath him. “That tickles!”“Renal artery.”Harry licks along the dent of Louis’ hip; Louis’ cackle turns into a moan.“Iliac vein.”Harry appreciatively takes in how Louis’ cock is straining against the thin cotton of his boxer briefs, a wet patch darkening the blue fabric, but he bypasses it completely, instead scooting down further between his thighs. A plaintive whine escapes Louis’ lips.“Patience, baby,” Harry murmurs against the soft skin of his thigh. “You told me to study. I’m studying.”

ASKING ME TO PICK A FAVE FOR OWN THE SCARS IS TERRIBLE. Do I pick the first Lirry scene in chapter 4 because it was the first time I really branched out from my original script and it started to take on a life of its own and I was SO JAZZED after that I locked myself out of my apartment when I went to smoke a celebratory cigarette? Do I choose Chapter 10′s Spa Night/Louis’ birthday because it REALLY started to sing there? Chapter 13 when Louis comes to Harry’s after the break-up will always be a personal fave too. 

I think my fave line/exchange is ODDLY this one, because I love my Niall SO MUCH. 

“A very wise woman once said to me,” Niall says sagely. “These walls were not built to shut out problems. You have to face them.”“You’re quoting The Sound of Music, Niall,” Louis says with amusement.“Do you not think the Reverend Mother is a wise woman, Louis?”Louis rolls his eyes. “The wisest.”“Climb every mountain, Bender. Pack every sweater. Zip every suitcase. You’ve got this.”

As for There’s Such a Lot of World to See, I think the last chapter with Louis and Old Harry was my fave to write because I had seen that scene SO CLEARLY in my head from the very beginning and it just felt like it worked SO WELL. 

“Now you, Haz,” Louis says, picking up a blue crown and walking over to him. “You have to be a king too.”Harry giggles again, bowing his head as Louis fits the paper crown over his white curls.“There we go,” Louis says as he carefully adjusts the crown on Harry’s head. “What a feeling to be a king beside you, eh?”Harry looks up at him and the breath is knocked entirely out of Louis’ chest as he sees the boy he loved beaming up at him, his chocolate curls spilling around his shoulders, his skin smooth and unwrinkled, bright green eyes sparkling.“Do I really not look any different to you?” Harry asks with an amused smile.“Harry Styles,” Louis murmurs, delicately tracing the shape of Harry’s jaw, his skin papery thin under his fingertips. “You’ll never look any different to me.”Harry gazes at him in awe, his smile widening as he scrunches his nose. Deep smile lines form at the corners of his mouth and eyes.“You’re full of shit,” Harry says after a long moment.

Fanfic End of Year Asks!

fine line review

oh my goooood i just finished listening to the album and i NEED to express my thoughts:

golden: didn’t know what to expect with this one but it’s?? so beautiful?? harry was so right saying it was a driving song it makes you want to go to california and watch the sunset from the car?? also the sun theme is so poetic and beautiful the way he uses it to talk about louis, his beloved?? the melody is quite simple but it’s so effective and these little da da da sounds the choir make in the background...heavenly. this part reminds me of another song but i can’t remember which one. what i love about this one is that it’s first time i’ve listened the lyrics seemed a quite sad (but riddled with hope still) and now the second time the meaning changed totally?? like it’s witchcraft how much the meaning can change once you look at the lyrics closely?? i know harry was talking about adore you when speaking about that feeling of bliss when you first meet the love of your life and fall completely but this is also what golden is about?? like being afraid but diving deep into it knowing this is right. i’m emo. in terms of vocals, it isn’t as BOOM as in other songs (in the sense that he’s not belting, using falsetto or a very low intonation that differs from his usual tone) but i love it!!! it’s very calm and peaceful and dreamy.

watermelon sugar: miss watermelon sugar is still as iconic as the first day she came out. it’s such a wonderful tune. my impressions on this song will never change and i will listen to it for another 30 times round without even hesitating. it just feels very summery and sensual and sexy without being too explicit (even though there is nothing wrong with being super explicit...see medicine). the chorus is just super catchy. the lyrics are so nice and i love the melody. very old pop and i’m a slut for this genre. also i know this has been HUGELY talked about before but i need to say it again. the way he’s saying belly!! the softness of the breathe me in/breathe me out parts!! the last watermelon sugar i don’t know why i’m obsessed it JUST SLAPS

adore you: oh darling. a treasure. 8 days ago, first time i’ve heard it, it took me by surprise because i wasn’t expecting that sound...but six seconds in and i was SOLD and already cherishing her with all of my heart. this song is JUST PERFECT. it’s probably the song that is the closest to 1D mixed with HS1 in terms of sound, like it’s super modern but at the same time has these very old school vibes i’m in LOVE WITH?? this is such a sweet joyful sappy song about his soulmate and i :’) also the rainbow paradise line i haven’t recovered from  bitches. i will never. this is such a certain and blatant declaration of love i wanna die!! i feel acknowledged as a romantic bitch who lives for this kind of grand gestures. thanks harry. also during some parts he sounds like old harry (i mean harry from 1d days) and then 2019 harry takes over and it makes me CRY

lights up: the first single and song from the era will always a soft soft in my heart. i listened to the track so many fucking times the words are tattooed onto my brain. this song was just so needed and so important. it’s so deep and means everything to me really. all of us wanted a song from him about identity and self discovery and lights up was the gift he gave us. never in my life i would have have dreamed of this song and it happened for real. i’m just so grateful. his voice in this is just so soft and delicate and so fitting for the song like it DEMANDS that tenderness and sweetness. also the choir gives me chills, like when they scream SHINE i just feel overwhelmed it’s!!! fuck!! i could write an essay about lights up because this song is just it. it makes you feel seen and understood and i just feel so lucky harry was able to share something as intimate as this.

cherry: lmaoooo. this one will be a skipper sorry. it’s far from being a bad piece because harry’s voice is always amazing but i can’t get over the voicemail. when the news came out i was just so appealed and angry but know i’m just cackling?? i’m french and what is this slander?? THE COUCOU AT THE BEGINNING IS RIDICULOUS!! and the ending sounds so rehearsed there is literally nothing naturel about it. thank god we hear harry’s laugh in it. I JUST KNOW it was added because there is no way he would have laughed irl at one of her jokes lol. lyrically you can see some parts were put there to make an allusion to the stunt (the accent & friends part, the gallery...) but others are just about louis?? like him being jealous of course it’s about the hubby. his voice is still beautiful but the melody doesn’t speak to me (and i would have telled you if it was the case) being objective, it’s the weakest one out of the album.

falling: OH MY FUCKING GOOOOD. i wanna say it’s my favorite song but i feel like it would diminish the love i have for the others but god...this song is breathtaking and out of this world. in terms of lyrics it’s the best HANDS DOWN. like period. fuck this song just BROKE ME. all that ache and heartbreak you get what he’s talking about when he said to zane lowe he hit rock bottom then. fucking hell. it just hurts knowing he hated himself that much like i can’t even fathom it. and his voice bloody hell?? i never heard him sing like that!!! it’s just so desperate and full of hurt and the high notes? please annihilate me. when i heard it i would at first sight i would be my favorite out of fine line. it was just so obvious. that kind of magic doesn’t happen a lot...like. i can’t pinpoint what part hurts me the most because the whole song is TORTURTING ME. when we’ll hear live i will be bawling for the rest of my life. i’m already am. my god it’s just so raw and honest no other artist can make me feel like that. you are experiencing the hurt with him it’s??? i have no words. and please this song makes no fucking sense if you don’t link to his relationship to louis like?? the i’m well aware i write too many songs about you?? hello??? i’m glad he doesn’t feel like that anymore because it hurts. it’s crazy how this song can pull you back to ancient memories and you just forget about the world. oh my god.

to be so lonely: i almost fell out of my chair (or bed, rather) because this song did not fit at all what i was expecting but it’s?? gold??? i was so sure it was going to be a full angsty ballad but it’s so catchy and it has those beatles vibe? like PLEASE. king of defying expectations. it’s so english. and it’s so smart because when the melody and rythm makes you think it’s gonna be corny (in the best sense of the word) but it’s kinda passive agressive? AND ALSO THE SWEARING. DON’T, STYLES. UR MY SON. i’m kidding. him hearing him say arrogant son of a bitch is THE PINNACLE of my life. also am i the only one that feels like if you change the beat a little and accelerate it on don’t call me baby ever again it would sound a bit like never enough? loved the throwback nonetheless. it isn’t a favorite yet but it’s already growing on me.

she: bloody fucking hell. first this song is timeless. it feels like it came straight (gay!!!) from the seventies. i had eagles vibes first listen but some said pink floyd and it’s SO TRUE. there are tons of rock influences in it but it’s so harry and manages to still be super unique?? just incredible. the writing of the song is the smartest out of HS2. it reminds me of woman (not in the way i was expecting...i had one supposition it was going to be about being envious of a woman while dumb people are tricked by the title) so much not in melody or lyrics at all but in the sense that it has a double (triple...and more) meanings. once again stupid hets think it’s about singing about the ideal girl when really it’s...on another plane of existence. like jesus. bitch i was right!!! it’s either a song on gender identity (harry singing about his feminine side that he was ashamed of for so long and tried to hide) or the closet and my god, the whole thing is just so clever.  A MASTERMIND. and the switch from the third person to the third KEATS you’ve been beaten. what a writer. it has thousands of interpretations this is just a trip. holy shit. the whole song carries so much guilt and repression and wishing be free of those feelings it’s?? i’m speechless. it’s so complex and intense. and fuck the guitar solo outro IS HISTORIC. in decades it will be praised as a masterpiece by all. i just know it. mitch you’re a genius. it gives just so much resonance and impact to the piece and it already had everything... i’m in heaven. or in hell. don’t know.

sunflower vol 6; cutest and weirdest song on earth and it’s A FAVE. it’s so colorful and nothing like he ever did before i’m living for it. it’s SAPPY AS FUCK and we stan sunflower in this house. also the part where he’s singing about wanting to kiss his lover kinda sounds like a lullaby and an alphabet song mixed together it’s ADORABLE!!! it’s such a being young and in love track i’m giggling!! it’s so precious!!! very poppy and gives you joy for days!! also super summery!! i wanna dance and twirl to it!! AND THE ENDING IS SO FUCKING LEGENDARY. BIG HIGH ON CRACK ENERGY. BITCH. it’s so uncanny like is he imitating a bird? calling someone?? trying to sound 5? i don’t know but it’s endearing. just so lovely.

canyon moon: another one i was expecting to be slow and it wasn’t. very country. thanks kacey for the input!! also him putting “jenny” in that sound is he trying to be adopted by dixie chicks and dolly parton? I LOVE that he’s trying new things with this track like country is such a hard genre to tackle and he nailed it. AND OH MY GOD THE LYRICS. it makes so emotional he’s literally creating a safe place for him and his darling?? could you be more in love?? this song belongs to the gays. san junipero without the angsty feelings. we deserved that. also he really mentioned the two weeks rule i’m weak. THIS IS INFURIATING.

treat people with kindness: the group part just sounds like a sitcom from the 80s. i’m dying. he really did that. and he named it like that :’) ALSO A GAY ANTHEM I CAN’T WAIT TO SCREAM THOSE LYRICS. big end of the days vibe. it’s just so healing and reassuring. it’s so empowering and i love the contrast between the very catchy happy bits (the high notes and the part where he kinda talks at the end reminded so much of mika which is a huge compliment as far as i’m concerned!!!) and that part where he’s singing very slow and soft you can see it’s very personal with him gaining confidence thanks to us during hslot <3 i’m dying this is such an exceptional gesture to like dedicate this to your fans? it’s so universal while being about his own journey (just like home..i’m sobbing) and that is like the mark of great music. also the instrumental is godsent.

fine line: i can see why it’s his favorite and why it is ending the album and giving it its name. i said falling was my fave but honestly fine line might be it too? the only difference is that i didn’t fall in love instantly, it takes time to escalate (it’s very similar to sott in that sense) beginning softly and almost whispered (also the high tone?? i almost didn’t recognized harry but at the same time it’s just 100% percent him but HE NEVER SANG in THAT TONE i’m!!! my jaw is dropping all the way to mars) like you can see it BUILDING to something superior and never made before... it’s a moment, it’s an experience, it just suspends time. like when music can do that for you...it’s infinite stuck in a few minutes. the two last minutes are purely angelic and the most beautiful thing i’ve ever heard. it has very few lines and words but the one there are so meaningful. when the song ended i just stayed a bit in silence without moving i could not believed what i just witnessed. and the album ending with we’ll be alright...it’s so fucking special. and that word doesn’t even give it justice.

fucK. this album is just...i’m trying to find words but how can you. when you make an album as ambitious and as outstanding as HS1 it’s hard to go back to the studio and find a way to equate it (i’m not saying top it because both can’t even be compared...) but he somehow did it?? i had no doubt but holy shit it’s unreal. it’s crazy because fine line is so different from the first one while being as rock and pop but there is a level of maturity and vulnerability that feels just so? different?? i can’t seem to find the right expression but i’m am purely in awe. i dk how harry finds a way to exceed my expectations every time like... it’s?? i’m sorry i’m just so moved and... it just means everything. 

two years and a half after and the feeling is the same. an album changing me and my life at first listen and 48 minutes that felt like a lifetime and a second at the same time.

Laughing Kookaburra Scientific Name: Dacelo novaeguineae The laughing kookaburra was first described and illustrated (in black and white) by the French naturalist and explorer Pierre Sonnerat in his Voyage a la nouvelle Guinae which was published in 1776. He claimed to have seen the bird in New Guinea. In fact Sonnerat never visited New Guinea and the laughing kookaburra does not occur there. He probably obtained a preserved specimen from one of the naturalists who accompanied Captain James Cook to the east coast of Australia. Edme-Louis Daubenton and Francois-Nicolas Martinet included a coloured plate of the laughing kookaburra based on Sonnerat’s specimen in their Planches enluminaes d’histoire naturelle. The plate has the legend in French "Martin-pecheur, de la Nouvelle Guinae" (Kingfisher from New Guinea). In 1783 the French naturalist Johann Hermann provided a formal description of the species based the coloured plate by Daubenton and Martinet. He gave it the scientific name Alcedo nova Guinea. The current genus Dacelo was introduced in 1815 by the English zoologist William Elford Leach, and is an anagram of Alcedo, the Latin word for a kingfisher. The specific name novaeguineae combines the Latin novus for new with Guinea, based on the erroneous belief that the specimen had originated from New Guinea. For many years it was believed that the earliest description was by the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert and his scientific name Dacelo gigas was used in the scientific literature but in 1926 the Australian ornithologist Gregory Mathews showed that a description by Hermann had been published earlier in the same year, 1783, and thus had precedence. In the 19th century this species was commonly called the "laughing jackass", a name first recorded (as Laughing Jack-Ass) in An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales by David Collins which was published in 1798. In 1858 the ornithologist John Gould used "great brown kingfisher", a name that had been coined by John Latham in 1782. Another popular name was "laughing kingfisher". The name in several Australian indigenous languages were listed by European authors including Go-gan-ne-gine by Collins in 1878, Cuck’anda by Rena Lesson in 1828 and Gogera or Gogobera by George Bennett in 1834. In the early years of the 20th century "kookaburra" was included as an alternative name in ornithological publications but it was not until 1926 in the second edition of the Official Checklist of Birds of Australia that the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union officially adopted the name "laughing kookaburra". The name comes from Wiradhuri, an Aboriginal language now effectively extinct. Description: The Laughing Kookaburra is instantly recognisable in both plumage and voice. It is generally off-white below, faintly barred with dark brown, and brown on the back and wings. The tail is more rufous, broadly barred with black. There is a conspicuous dark brown eye-stripe through the face. It is one of the larger members of the kingfisher family. Similar species: Identification may only be confused where the Laughing Kookaburra’s range overlaps that of the Blue-winged Kookaburra, Dacelo leachii, in eastern Queensland. The call of the Blue-winged Kookaburra is coarser than that of the Laughing Kookaburra, and ends somewhat abruptly. The Blue-winged Kookaburra lacks the brown eye-stripe, has a blue tail and a large amount of blue in the wing, and has a pale eye. Distribution: Laughing Kookaburras are found throughout eastern Australia. They have been introduced to Tasmania, the extreme south-west of Western Australia, and New Zealand. Replaced by the Blue-winged Kookaburra in central northern and north-western Australia, with some overlap in Queensland, although this species is more coastal. Habitat: The Laughing Kookaburra inhabits most areas where there are suitable trees. Feeding: Laughing Kookaburras feed mostly on insects, worms and crustaceans, although small snakes, mammals, frogs and birds may also be eaten. Prey is seized by pouncing from a suitable perch. Small prey is eaten whole, but larger prey is killed by bashing it against the ground or tree branch. Breeding: Laughing Kookaburras are believed to pair for life. The nest is a bare chamber in a naturally occurring tree hollow or in a burrow excavated in an arboreal (tree-dwelling) termite mound. Both sexes share the incubation duties and both care for the young. Other Laughing Kookaburras, usually offspring of the previous one to two years, act as ‘helpers’ during the breeding season. Every bird in the group shares all parenting duties. Calls: The chuckling voice that gives this species its name is a common and familiar sound throughout the bird’s range. The loud ‘koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-kaa-kaa-kaa’ is often sung in a chorus with other individuals. The Laughing Kookaburra also has a shorter ‘koooa The Laughing Kookaburra is not really laughing when it makes its familiar call. The cackle of the Laughing Kookaburra is actually a territorial call to warn other birds to stay away. Minimum Size: 40cm Maximum Size: 45cm Average size: 42cm Average weight: 340g Breeding season: August to January (Sources: www.birdsinbackyards.net and Wikipedia) __________________________________________

In 1858 the ornithologist John Gould used "great brown kingfisher", a name that had been coined by John Latham in 1782. Another popular name was "laughing kingfisher". The name in several Australian indigenous languages were listed by European authors including Go-gan-ne-gine by Collins in 1878, Cuck’anda by René Lesson in 1828 and Gogera or Gogobera by George Bennett in 1834. In the early years of the 20th century "kookaburra" was included as an alternative name in ornithological publications but it was not until 1926 in the second edition of the Official Checklist of Birds of Australia that the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union officially adopted the name "laughing kookaburra". The name comes from Wiradhuri, an Aboriginal language now effectively extinct. Description: The Laughing Kookaburra is instantly recognisable in both plumage and voice. It is generally off-white below, faintly barred with dark brown, and brown on the back and wings. The tail is more rufous, broadly barred with black. There is a conspicuous dark brown eye-stripe through the face. It is one of the larger members of the kingfisher family. Similar species: Identification may only be confused where the Laughing Kookaburra’s range overlaps that of the Blue-winged Kookaburra, Dacelo leachii, in eastern Queensland. The call of the Blue-winged Kookaburra is coarser than that of the Laughing Kookaburra, and ends somewhat abruptly. The Blue-winged Kookaburra lacks the brown eye-stripe, has a blue tail and a large amount of blue in the wing, and has a pale eye. Distribution: Laughing Kookaburras are found throughout eastern Australia. They have been introduced to Tasmania, the extreme south-west of Western Australia, and New Zealand. Replaced by the Blue-winged Kookaburra in central northern and north-western Australia, with some overlap in Queensland, although this species is more coastal. Habitat: The Laughing Kookaburra inhabits most areas where there are suitable trees. Feeding: Laughing Kookaburras feed mostly on insects, worms and crustaceans, although small snakes, mammals, frogs and birds may also be eaten. Prey is seized by pouncing from a suitable perch. Small prey is eaten whole, but larger prey is killed by bashing it against the ground or tree branch. Breeding: Laughing Kookaburras are believed to pair for life. The nest is a bare chamber in a naturally occurring tree hollow or in a burrow excavated in an arboreal (tree-dwelling) termite mound. Both sexes share the incubation duties and both care for the young. Other Laughing Kookaburras, usually offspring of the previous one to two years, act as ‘helpers’ during the breeding season. Every bird in the group shares all parenting duties. Calls: The chuckling voice that gives this species its name is a common and familiar sound throughout the bird’s range. The loud ‘koo-koo-koo-koo-koo-kaa-kaa-kaa’ is often sung in a chorus with other individuals. The Laughing Kookaburra also has a shorter ‘koooa The Laughing Kookaburra is not really laughing when it makes its familiar call. The cackle of the Laughing Kookaburra is actually a territorial call to warn other birds to stay away. Minimum Size: 40cm Maximum Size: 45cm Average size: 42cm Average weight: 340g Breeding season: August to January (Sources: www.birdsinbackyards.net and Wikipedia)

[reclaiming-god]

so I’m watching Louis Theroux Most Hated Family and honestly cannot believe what i am hearing........ reactions down below because w ow this is a parody right???

tl;dr: the Westboro Baptist Church is the most anti-Christian Christianity to ever Christian

im genuinely concerned for the westboro baptist chruch.... are these ppl ok.... do they eat enough..... all their time seems to be dedicated to hating other ppl so like. im just concerned

"Fags eat feces. It's a fact, hun." SDKFDSKFKDSFFKSDKAKJAKJSDJKFKJA the only feces we seem to be encountering in any way is the ones coming out of this woman’s mouth

The guy just looks so done in every. single. shot. I’m so sorry for him 

"but that's not one of the ten commandments" "-5 second pause- ......................... yes it is" LEGENDARY. IM CACKLING THIS IS SO FUNNY 

HOW DOES ADULTERY = BEING GAY IM LAUGHIN 

"you think it's our job to win souls to Christ" uh yeah that's.... that's kinda in the bible. but then again im not sure these people read the bible? all they probably know is that one leviticus quote and the ten commandments

gosh I’m so sorry for those kids...... can i adopt them? I’m their mom now

i’m the old guy giving the finger. relatable

actually i’m all the people yelling at them from the intersection

this is just so funny to me because these soldiers are literally the reason these people are able to protest... that america has the freedoms it does.... oh the irony

the pastor’s wife is wearing trans flag colors.... coincidence? i think not

I know I said this a few points ago but have these people even actually read the Bible? I mean--

I’m so glad Megan left the church, gosh

I’m sure this journalist is an actual angel in disguise because a human just cannot have that much patience. We just can’t

“God’s standard” which standard? i mean i’m guessing it isn’t “love thy neighbour as thyself”

i swear this guy looks in so much physical pain.... Free Him. how far are we willing to go for knowledge? vote now on your phones

“has been excluded” hoping one of the ex-members is gay

OH NO IT’S THE BOOK COVER FROM STRUCK BY LIGHTNING..... i hated reading that book

i mean. if none of the daughters in the church get married the family line actively in the church will eventually die off so like.... u know...... the circle of bigotry has been broken

man i wish i could be on one of the signs of the westboro baptist church.... that’s how u know u made it. that’s how u know u really pissed off the homophobes. a true achievement

“no tears for queers” well that would be nice... u know, not having to cry over ur identity at any point in time. thanks WBC

“jews killed Christ” Jesus was Jewish....................... He was literally a rabbi........

U TELL HIM LOUIS (reporter guy)

there are so many funny things in this vid and abt these people’s beliefs but the funniest is probably the notion that you’re going to hell even if you repent or whatever. like, fam, sorry to rain on ur parade but......... we got a whole journal abt this (St. Faustyna’s journal)..... Jesus himself came down and literally said “hey my Mercy is available to all if they believe in me”...... sorry u had to find out like this

 ANTS ON A BANANA

sorry but a kid with one (1) Saturday school lesson about Jesus has more knowledge abt the bible than Fred Phelps

no friends? no romantic relationships? these kids are being literally emotionally abused, where are the child services?

“how old are you?” “seven” im about to cry, this is horrifying? these people should not be raising these children

THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE SIGN MEANS IM LEGIT ABT TO CRY

“what else do you have to be to be in trouble with god?” “swedish?” FAVE

“according to the Mosaic code--” my longest deep sigh ever

now i really don’t like WBC but hitting a kid is p messed up... homeboy probably doesn’t even know what he’s doing

“they’re such cowards, who would hit a child” the one thing i agree on

“dyke liberty” wait how is that negative? like hell yea i want dyke liberty!!!! justice for my dykes

“God duped you into fighting a war” but wait what were the Crusades if not a war......... kinda getting a mixed message here

“i don’t know how to deal with a question like that” maybe because you don’t know how to answer it... because everything that comes out of that church is so anti-Bible and incorrect......

“no, to go and preach the Gospel” u mean the Gospel of Jesus Christ, right? the human Son of God who loves everyone and spent most of his ministry helping the poor, aiding the oppressed, and healing the sick? ok just checking, it’s definitely not that Gospel they’re preaching

“not a chance, poopy pants” who takes these people seriously???

a random thought but has the Vatican recognized the WBC as a cult yet?

“i’m preaching what the Bible says” where?? where is it?????

“what you’re trying to turn yourself into God” again, ironic, because that’s what they’re doing

“it’s the righteous judgement of God Almighty” i’m just thinkin abt that one passage in the New Testament where one of the disciples asks Jesus what crimes a blind man or his parents have committed to make him blind, and Jesus responding that it was neither his parents nor the man

wow that was..... a ride all the way through
