#Queen of the Yard

The babies are coming 🤗 Here's a Cardinal mama feeding her little one a couple of evenings ago. It was getting dark, so the quality is not too great but this is one of the tinier Cardi babies I have seen 💕

This queen butterfly caterpillar was tiny, as you can see by its aphid neighbors. Caterpillars and aphids all enjoyed the milkweed vine in the backyard.

"before the match, when i saw her holding something like a queen's quest flag in the entrance and when i saw her matches after joining h.a.t.e., i thought she was half-hearted and i also had some resentment. but during those 27 minutes and 23 seconds that we fought, i felt all kinds of emotions, like "i'm pissed off" and "i want you to go back to being the old kamitani." when i saw kamitani screaming out loud from the depths of her stomach, unlike before, i thought "that's where you belong." i'm sure she has all kinds of conflicts and beliefs inside her, even if she doesn't put them into words. even if our paths are different, kamitani will always remain important to me. I want to fight her again."

thinking about hotd making my girl elinda massey go on errands and do seemingly the same job as talya like a lady in waiting isn’t a maid? and ofc that brings me to WHY don’t rhaenyra, alicent, helaena, baela and rhaena (or jeyne arryn, or rhaenys in her scenes on driftmark, or aemma in the two gd scenes we get with her) have friends? actual lady companions from the nobility. grrm is so bad at this in the books but it’s even worse in got and hotd

Have u ever read Empty Graves by unpretty? Best kents raising Superman fic I've ever read. Talks about all the futures where they didn't raise him to be good above all things so well. So much time travel. It's amazing.

Haha yes Unpretty is so good!! Stories about what it had to have been like to raise Clark are always incredibly interesting, and really fantastic when done well. I think on Tumblr people have also gotten in the habit of reading Unpretty's stories as 'basically the character' instead of a 'really fun and unique, off the wall interpretation of the character', which is problematic to people who get persnickety about comics and those people only but that's not relevant -

I'm not sure how common knowledge this is, but there was a Silver Age story about another Kryptonian baby who had a parallel childhood to Clark, except his parents were Evil Crooks, so he had an Evil Crook Childhood, and he became an Evil Crook Baby. They weren't abusive or mean or didn't love him or anything. They just put him in a little bandana and taught him how to talk like a mafia guy and break out of jail cells. Superman eventually had to fight Evil Crook Superman, and eventually breathe a sigh of relief that he wasn't also raised to talk like a mafia gangster.

Sometimes I think about that guy, and I decide that a way funnier story would be about the super baby who was raised to be Evil Crook and who lives his adulthood as an extremely normal office worker guy who's no contact with his parents and has been seeing a therapist for a few years and really just wants to go on with his life and move past his Evil Crook Baby childhood with his batshit parents. He still has superpowers but they, like, don't define him, man.

Bird girls are always especially interesting to me because of their different looks. It is always fun to try and figure out IDs of new sightings. And it is even more fun when they are as cooperative as these two here, a Cardinal and a Rosebreasted Grosbeak. The Grosbeak female looks like her babies, and you can tell the sexes apart by looking at their armpits. Boys' are red, girls' yellow.

can i just say im obsessed with your red design. ive seen too many versions of him that were Just That Twink But Older Now and im like NO!!! NO!!!!!!! HE WOULD NOT STILL LOOK LIKE A PATH-BLOCKING TREE!!!!!!!!! so your red is an absolute godsend. and also very pretty

red is sooo pretty and cutes.. to me he is like the most oddly specific combination of polite graceful prettyboyishness and gruff rough-and-tumble like no other. how does he manage to do it?? he makes me insane
