okay i know we all know OFMD has helped queer people not only feel seen but in other ways too. it's helped poc and neurodiverse folks and fat folks and disabled folks. i fit into most of those categories and i feel so seen and safe in this space.

but wanna hear a silly little way it's managed to help even my straight, neurotypical, tiny little sister cope with the world? to her OFMD was her sister's pirate brainrot show. then i made her watch it and to her, it's still just a funny, albeit heartwarming show.

but. she's no longer deathly afraid of gulls, because all gulls can be karl and livvy.

fucking amazing.

#that's it #that worked #i started calling gulls karl and livvy and i could see an IMMEDIATE difference in her anxiety responses #eventually she had a fuckung CONVERSATION with a gull #NEVER eould have happened before #still flinches if a gull dives too close or whatever but then one of us would call it karl and she'd calm down #which never used to happen #she'd just stay keyed up #nothing would work to calm her down we'd just have to leave the space eventually #she'd keep eyeing it and even if it left she'd keep an ear out #but now #it's a WORLD of difference #of course she's still anxious it doesn't just go away #but now she can bring silliness into it #and be like the 'bird guy'#she loved karl she teared up when he died #and she kept telling me he wanted mr buttons for a roommate #she can channel those feelings to try and overtake the anxiety #i'm so happy it worked for her im tearing up a bit #our flag means death #ofmd #karl the seagull #karl #internal monologue

Hey now, Let her cook!

#dungeon meshi #chilchuck tims #senshi #laios touden #marcille donato #izutsumi #oyasumi punpun #<- In case you are wondering what the source for the little bird guy is.#Yeah that's right. I'm back to my extremely obscure crossover BS.#Punpun is one of those series that falls under the category of 'Good! but I cannot responsibly recommend this to anyone."#If Dungeon Meshi is like a friend asking you to go on a quick errand and you accidently go on a life changing roadtrip -#Punpun is your friend asking to go on a quick errand and they pull up to the vet and tell you your dog is being put down.#Then they explode into sludge. Melting your car. You hitchhike back but the person who picked you up is an axe murderer.#I could not finish it. My friends who did say it was good. But agree it was for the best I did not finish it.#Hey speaking of tone twists...We are one episode away from one of my favourite chapters being animated!#WHO'S READY FOR THE SENSHI BACKSTORY! WHO IS READY TO CRY!#ME! I AM! I spooked my flatmate with how energetic I was this morning. I'm vibrating with energy I was not designed to contain.#I should talk about today's episode here: It was very good. I love how they animated the familiars.#And!!! Anime only people now are in the loop on the Chilchuck lore. Part 1 of many. He still contains multitudes.#They all do to be honest! If this episode told us anything it was that we still don't know these characters as well as we think!#See you guys next week. I'll be inconsolable.

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.

#not vc sorry #bird #birds #aves #raptor #hawk #red shouldered hawk #i think. might be wrong on that id #accipitriformes #birds of prey #honestly a really cool guy so close up #I'm happy i wasn't attacked. i would not want to fight a guy that big.#talons on this bird were huge. big scary.#I've never heard of large predatory birds just landing in front of people like that so i don't know what gives #it didn't catch any food or anything. just landed near me then stared me down.#I don't know a lot about bird behavior so i tried to not look back at it but still.#it also didn't look injured. seemed like a healthy bird #if anyone has any idea why this thing would act the way it did I'd love to know

asian glossy starlings are severely under utilised Scary Birds. I see crows and ravens and vultures where is the love for these freaks

oohhh you want to put them in your art so bad oooohh

ID: three photos of iridescent black-green birds with bright red eyes and small black pupils, with long crow-like beaks. END ID

EXTENDED ID: three photos of glossy iridescent dark green birds, feathers almost black asides from where the light makes them viridian green. They have bright red eyes with jarring black pupils set into their head like precious stones and seem to be staring directly at the viewer, and their beaks are similar to crow beaks. The first photo shows a group of six starlings clustered on a wooden pole, presumably on a wharf. The second photo is two of the birds perched on branches, and the third photo is a close up of a starling's face from profile view. END ID

#listen to my gibberish boy #I see these guys EVERYWHERE and they're so cool #extremely irridescent #to the point where they look like actual metal #their eyes are SO red #art inspo #birds #writing inspo

end of spring🌸🧶🌱🧵

#jjba #jolyne cujoh #jojo's bizarre adventure #stone ocean #deliart #if u guys only KNEW the amount of reworking this artwork had #i began working on it in fall and it had completely different flowers planned bc of that #but as february came i changed it to spring flowers and decided to cast a wide net with different blooms #bc i knew i was gonna procrastinate even further due to the hassle of lining the knit patterns #and when i finished it there were still cherry blossoms where i live so. but as im posting it they have ofcourse finished blooming.#i was sooo close to changing it again to like. bird cherry blossoms or lilac (which are currently blooming here) smh #i might make a fall version for this later though #bc im a little partial to the initial color palette i had. the outfit was gonna be red and the image darker overall #.. anyway putting this in scheduled posts since ill forget it in the drafts forever otherwise

Thinkin about that post that's like "If Hatchetfield wants to keep you, you can't leave. Emma always comes back from Guatemala, Alice always gets off the bus, Lex or Ethan can go to California not both" and Edward Hopper's painting of the diner with no doors

You know, his painting Nighthawks

#i know nighthawks are real birds but #i wish i could find the post #hatchetfield #hatchetverse #tgwdlm #starkid black friday #npmd #the guy who didnt like musicals #nerdy prudes must die #monologuing

Take to the skies

...and fly free

#trigun #trimax #trigun maximum #nicholas d. wolfwood #vash the stampede #wolfwood centric #raepliica_art #wolfwood birdliker is smth so personal to me #his fascination for their ability to move freely and unchained.... his desire to fly away from his burden and fears...#🧎#guys he's fine!!! he's with his bird friends now!!!👍👍#i was listening to 生きる懐かしさ from guile by Oblique Occasions and this idea descended upon me like a meteorite #🧍<- guy who looped that 4 min music track during the whole drafting process #i have so much to say but im terrible at putting my thoughts into words so I'll let this comic speak for itself. hopefully.

thinking about the... potential clawthorne woodcarving mentorship.

+ bonus cuz also thinking abt how if hunter ever met dell's palisman and got reminded of flapjack, he'd probably feel bad abt making that association cuz he knows what it's like to be seen only as someone's different version (even though the bird wouldn't mind much so lol)
