#Red-Capped Robin

[blackrayser]

Born as a fanart of the board-game "Wingspan", it was selected to be printed on the official card in the limited edition coming this November!! 🥹🎨🐦

I really enjoyed paiting and discovering so many things about this adorable bird! 💕

Red-capped Robin (Petroica goodenovii) is a small passerine bird, representing arid mallee, mulga, and bulloke scrubs across inland Australia.

The Red-capped Robin is one of the smallest and most brightly colored birds. It is also known as Redhead, redcap, robin red-breast, or red-throated robin. Local people across southwestern Australia called “menekedang”. In Kimberley, it is named “Kuburi”. It is a sexually dimorphic species of vibrantly colored robins in the family Petroicidae.

Vocalizations: Red-capped Robin’s call is a soft, dry tick, repeated slowly by both sexes. The song of the red-capped robin is low, insect-like rattling trill, dtit-dtit-dtrrr-it, repeated by the male.

Prompt:

A bit of dream and time magic become tangled on accident and result in robin!Jason sharing a dreamscape with one of the batfam post Ethiopia.

They can’t talk to or hear each other. They can only see each other.

It takes a while for the future Bat in question to figure out this is not just a nice dream where they get to spend time with a happy, carefree, safe Jason. And now it’s a race against time to find a way to convince him not to go to Ethiopia without using words. :)

Everytime I see Dick’s disco outfit I think to myself “oh honey… no…”

faintly reminiscent of watching elementary school boys start dressing themselves and choosing to wear neon orange nike shirts

Who Knows

Is it just me or does this scene have the same vibes to the Friends 'They don't know that we know that they know' scene. No? Just me? lol

The Batman fandom is so irritating especially on tiktok and YouTube, I would rather throw myself in middle of a Maga crowd (and possibly get hate crimed) than read those comments bc 99.9% of them are arguing who would beat Batman, who the best Robin is(while pushing angry Robin!Jason todd/Murder hungry Damian Wayne Propaganda) (also forgetting about Duke and Steph the actual best robins) , The “heh… actually Bruce Wayne only loves Damian Wayne because he’s biological 😼” and Nightwing glazers.

Just shoot me atp it’s so atrocious, I once read someone say that Tim Drake can beat both Black bat and red hood but struggle with Nightwing…. Please let’s be real.. (this one was on Quora, arguably the worse one out of all the ones I’ve mentioned)

Of course they r different genres of story centered around very different characters and relationships and situations etc but i think also that just makes it funnier

ROUND 1B! MATCH 2 OUT OF 8

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Original Fairytale:

The girl, the myth, the legend. The one who started it all. She skips into the forest with head held high, unknowing of the wolf and the many, many retellings of her story. Something, something, puberty, something, something, men are wolves. Just let my girl wear her red cape and be on her way to Granny's, please and thank you.

I feel like in a lot of modern adaptations they get lost in making Red Riding Hood more a girlboss who fights back or making her secretly (or not secretly) the real wolf or having her and the wolf be love interests, they lose a lot of what made the original fairytale so good. AND SO CHILLING! We have been told this story so often since childhood we can forget how frightening it can really be. A lost young girl, punished for the follies of childhood. I also think that even in the "happy" endings when the huntsman saves her there is this sense that she will never be the same. Her childhood is over. And that's haunting! The horrors of unprotected innocence.

The Path:

Each of these girls deal with their personal demons- in this case, "wolves-" as they grow and mature on the path of life. Each of them represent a different stage of a young person's life as they go through the world and the different ways in which that world can turn on that young person when they allow themselves to get lost in a dense forest, culminating in their reflection on the life they led.

the path is just a really cool underrated game idk man

i just really really like the path 🤷‍♂️

I will admit I'm only familiar with The Path through Izzzyzzz's seminal video on the subject but her Vibes are pretty iconic

(Scarlet) Most underrated sister imo. Her story is hauntingly sad and has themes of "lost of childhood" in a completely opposite way from the original Red Riding Hood, a good twist on the story.

(Ruby) The most well-known of the Path girls and the most goth, I get very sad when I see her. I know "teen angst" is a joke but sometimes I see reminders of just how full of despair teenagers can be. Her self-destructive tendencies and her "Charming Wolf" are leading her down a path (pun intended) that could kill her if she is not saved in time. It's so easy to dismiss teenage impulsion but only the survivors can.

(Ginger) Girl is so queer. Love that for her.

(Ginger) lesbiam

(Robin) Little girl sees giant wolf and wants to take it for a ride. Nuff said. (Also her room is the scariest imo. A child learning about death and their own mortality is mundane but terrifying)

Please enjoy these pictures I took while birding on Sunday

Some sleepy goslings:

And some of their protective parents (THEY HAVE 6 PARENTS.  It’s takes a village I guess):

This brown thrasher, who almost got an old man to call the cops on me because he saw a sus girl taking pictures of some birds in the rain (I don’t know if that was the case, but I did see an old guy giving me the stink eye when I was flipping through my field book trying to ID this bird):

A grackle trying to figure out What The Heck Is Going On Down There?

And his funny little walk:

Somewhat blurry photo of a barn swallow flying around:

A red-winged blackbird trying to look majestic in the rain:

An his hard working wife bringing dinner (actually breakfast) to the table:

American Robin:

More photos of swallows flying.  This time tree swallows and the pictures are slightly better:

A tufted titmouse grabbing a snack in the rain:

An American goldfinch who is a Very Handsome Boi:

A white-breasted nuthatch crawling all over a tree:

An eastern bluebird hanging out with their kids (some juvenile bluebirds with a parent):

Indigo Bunting, pondering the questions and answers to life while chilling on a branch in the rain:

A downy woodpecker, trying to remember if this is a poll they can get bugs from on not if they whack it:

A black-capped chickadee, sitting still long enough in their life for me to take a picture:

An indigo bunting posing for me.  Thanks bud:

His wifey, looking for some food:

Another downy woodpecker, gazing off into the distance.  Probably thinking about food:

A female northern cardinal, considering what seed to eat next:

And her husband, keeping lookout I guess:

That’s all the birds I was able to get decent pictures of.  Here are some pretty flowers for you to enjoy too (as you can tell, it was raining on Sunday too):

All the Batkids have their own favourite Superhero (that’s not Batman), but it comes as a surprise when Damian says his favourite is Captain Marvel.

Captain Marvel, after being put on ‘Robin Watch’ after Batman had to disappear in the Watchtower for whatever reason: so … what do you like to do?

Damian, who vividly remembers Dick telling him to play nice or he’ll tell Batman about the 364 cats he’s fostered with Selina: I … like Cats

Captain Marvel, who has no idea what normal kids do: Oh, me too! My best friend is a talking cat!

Damian, intrigued: … elaborate

Captain Marvel, already showing Damian pictures of Tawny: This is Tawky Tawny, he’s a magic tiger that sometimes live in the Zoo! He’s also my best friend 🥰💕😍💕😍💖💗💗💗💗😍😊🎉😊😍😍

Damian, already calling Selina: I would like to meet this Tawky Tawny.

Later, Batman would start to panic when he couldn’t find Robin, but then would be shown a picture from Instagram of Robin, Catwoman and Captain Marvel in Fawcette Zoo, specifically the tiger cage hugging a massive Bengal Tiger, captioned “the most civilised tiger you will ever meet”. The next picture is a picture with the three of them having tea with said Tiger in a suit.

Bonus

Dick, Superman’s Number 1 fan: Oh please, he’s obviously the most like me! Captain Marvel and Superman look like they can be BROTHERS

Jason, forever a Wonder Woman Stan: HA, I heard that he WAS Wonder Woman’s Brother

Tim, hiding all his Cap merch: Oh yeah, he’s nothing like Red Tornado, so I’m good

Steph: why wasn’t I invited to the tea party …

Barbara and Alfred, tracking Captain down: Don’t worry, we’ll be invited to the next one

Cass, sensing something is off: … new … brother????

If you see Batman sulking in the corner, you saw wrong. If Batman sulks harder when he realises Barbara and Alfred figured out Captain Marvels identity before him and refuse to share… you’re a fucking liar.

Bonus

Flash: …

Captain Marvel: …

Flash: so when do we get to hug the magic kitty

Captain Marvel: FOR THE LOVE OF-

Tawny, not even a week later: ✨I’m so popular✨

[tiger-grace]
