It would be nice to hear from Wanda and Cosmo! It is kind of nice that you guys have two children like your own family does. Are you two still close to your siblings? Wanda has a sibling and Cosmo also have a sibling just like Timmy and Peri. Do they share some sibling stories to your children?

Wanda and Cosmo both reconnected with their siblings shortly after having Peri. Or, well. More like Blonda reentered their lives once she realized she had a baby nephew. Eventually, they slowly patched things up the more Blonda came to visit Peri.

Schnozmo was dragged back kicking and screaming. Mama Cosma refuses to have her sons live estranged lives now that she has a grandchild in the picture. Schnozmo doesn't know how to handle children, but he's doing his best.

Peri likes Schnozmo because he makes silly noises and funny stories. But he prefers Blonda's theatrics much more and loves playing Dress Up with her.

I lost one of my chickens :( she was caught and carried away by a fox... I’ve been growing complacent about my chickens’ safety I think because we’ve only had one other attack before, a goshawk that swooped in abruptly (unsuccessfully), but no fox sightings nearby so I’ve been assuming Pandolf was a great deterrent. Which he is, just not foolproof. I’ve talked to some people in town about this and they were pretty philosophical about foxes stealing chickens, like “it’s the tribute we pay to woodland animals, it’s just a few hens here and there.” I don’t begrudge the fox for being a fox, if anything I have a renewed respect for foxes because everyone I talked to proceeded to give me their best / worst fox stories, and most of them involved foxes outsmarting humans (learning people’s habits / timetables, opening latches, faking a limp...) Still I feel terrible for my hen, she was only three. RIP Cordy :( You’ll be remembered fondly... (except by the cats.) I feel bad for the other hen too, who just lost her pal!

When I said that last thing, one of my neighbours jumped on the opportunity to try and convince me again to accept a rooster from him. He had a rooster baby boom last summer and I’ve been telling him for months that I don’t need a rooster, I don’t want to raise chickens I just want eggs, and his new argument was that a rooster would protect my hen (or if it comes to that, would heroically sacrifice himself rather than let the hen be eaten—I’m sceptical...) I asked around for a young hen but there aren’t any to be had in this season, so my remaining one is going to be alone until the spring, and my neighbour said she’d get stressed and male company is better than no company. (I wish I could ask my hen what she wants! Maybe she’s penning A Coop Of One’s Own as we speak.) I said the rooster was more likely to stress her out and harass her and he said nah they’re free ranging all day, it’ll be fine, and he’s young so your adult hen will boss him around. I was like, but then will he be any good at protecting her? etc. etc. and after a while I caved in.

When I told her about this on the phone my mum sighed “you’re terrible at saying no”—excuse me, I said no so many times and the guy just kept ploughing on until he could foist a rooster upon me. I’m good at saying no, other people are terrible at hearing it! I reassured her that I had only agreed to take the rooster for a short probationary period, and if he bothers my hen too much I’ll drive him back to his native farm. My mum was like “Drive him back? look I’m sorry I raised you as a city kid but there’s no need to waste gas on driving a rooster around, I’ll have no qualms about wringing his neck for dinner if he’s more trouble than he’s worth.” The rooster’s fate is not sealed though, if he is anywhere from vaguely useful to not actively problematic I’ll keep him, so we’ll see...!

Been picking watercolor back up recently, and wanted to try another flock member. Thalia from Unthinkable (by @ii-thiscat-ii ), right after the attack. (Design based on her description in Static Worms)

Sketch:

Final:

The colors don’t appear very well through the screen, so they look a bit dull.

I’m still not sure about the blue blood, but I chose it bc of the term “blue blooded” initially meaning being descended from literal gods, and therefore being higher life form than mortals. You can see where I used to have red blood instead.

I honestly don’t know if i like the sketch more, but I’m still very proud of how the watercolor turned out, with the attempted shading and pose

My brain keeps going back to the hhau rambles and Grian asking Scar about taking his wings off and just...how incredibly short-sighted that "fix" would be. Because like, even if he lost one/both his wings and lived through it....he'd still have his instincts. He'd still chirp...he'd still wanna be high up in nests but he'd have to climb now. He'd never be able to wrap himself in wings again... depending on when that earring of Scar's might be the last of his feathers... and oh gosh post rescue? The hermits seeing him without wings and all the questions and looks of pity. Some well meaning hermit maybe brings him an elytra which he's never needed before and oh that could cause a spiral

-🎀

oh gosh. oh okay. i see you're bringing angst to my doorstep.

grian definitely wasn't thinking clearly in that moment. he simply reached a point where he can't see any other solution. so much of his anguish is tied to his wings. he's in pain and scared and he desperately wants it to stop.

he's learned to despise his wings. they cause him so much turmoil and everything that was ever good about them—everything he loved—has been meticulously erased. they're not pretty. they are dirty and grimy and itchy. heavy, unwieldy, muscles locked up, clumsy and aching from disuse. they no longer feel like a proper part of him. he's not using them, he's just constantly fighting to tuck them away. to make the world believe they're not there.

well then... wouldn't it be easier? if that was the reality?

to him, it sounds like a long-term solution to an otherwise never-ending problem.

his wings are a beacon, and wouldn't him and scar be so much safer without them? if he didn't have them, there'd be no reason for people to madly hunt him. maybe then they could stop running and catch their breath. maybe then scar wouldn't be in constant danger just from being near him. maybe then the fear lodged into grian's spine and the endless string of triggered panic attacks would finally go away.

yes, he'd still have his instincts. but he's already grounded. he's already not using his wings for any sort of comfort at this point, and flight is not an option. he's craving nests and high places, but that doesn't mean he can get them, wings or no wings, and— he was fine without that on hermitcraft! surely if the pain and fear stop, his instincts will calm down? surely, he can get at least a semblance of control back?

and you need to realise. there was no thought spared to the hermits. at this point, scar and grian have given up and no longer expect or even hope to ever be rescued. in their minds, there's no one coming to save them. there's no home to go back to. it's just this.

it will always be this.

and this is painful, and grian is clawing at ideas of making it better somehow—anyhow—no matter how drastic or gruesome that option might seem.

that all being said... man. that big what if. what if he really lost them? what if, one way or another, he managed to get rid of his wings? what if that happened and he survived?

your point about how scar's earring would be the last of grian's feathers is so heartrending. that'd be so tragic and sad.

and then post-rescue, the hermits would have even more proof of the damage. even more questions, too. even more helplessness as how to help, when the damage done is long since unfixable </3

grian, having to wrangle with having a safe environment to fly again, but having no wings to fly with... especially if that was his own choice. if it was preventable. ouch.

I just had the stupidest Idea for the per zoo AU but hear me out.

Rad exchange program time and when the brothers find out that two humans will be brought down they just immediately go "IK." and so Diavolo obliges (but he tells them smth along the lines that it's a random picking to make it a sort of surprise)

The exchange day comes and Ik suddenly finds herself in a strange room....as a black baby sheep. (inspired by MC BC I feel like it would be so funny for IK to be the animal this time) and the brothers just look confused cause like why is there a sheep here.

AND IK JUST FULL ON STARTS TALKING and they have a very cool reunion (Also Ik is such a small sheep compared to those massive giants,she sits on Mammons head)

oh i love this so much. diavolo's silently SO excited for the big reveal, the brothers can finally stop moping when they think he's not looking, then POOF one of these shows up

lucifer has to restrain his brothers from just swarming her the minute they figure out what's going on, because she is so small that they might actually crush her

as opposed to talking normally though i think she'd still make animal sounds (like the brothers were stuck with), but their bond's strong enough at this point that they can sort of infer what the bleating means - failing that, they might get her a magical equivalent of those buttons that dogs use to 'talk'

they get her a bell so she jingles whenever she goes trotting around. also they still try to treat her like they do as a human, so she still gets her own room with a massive bed and her own seat at the table (though she inevitably ends up on someone's shoulders or something)

You know, as someone who is a sex worker I understand why people get up in arms about how "sex work aus are bad" and it promotes bad stereotypes or whatever

But I gotta say, those aus where one half of your otp is a down on their luck prostitute and gets Saved by someone who Rescues Them From Their Awful Life is like crack to me.

In the spirit of this holiday, and because Loki is feeling extra he has purchased a very special product that he only had noticed today. Mostly because of the ingredients that it was made with. And even more special was the fact that it had been made into a delicacy that he knew someone, in particular, would adore. Loki bought this pastry as a gift. A sentiment, if you would of good nature... but it was anything but. ( though perhaps it was still of gaiety, even if strictly speaking it was out of curiosity of what would happen to someone who ate the thing ) And so he arrived upon Thor's door and knocked. In his hand, he held the box of Danish-style pastries with Logus Fruit Filling. Four of them to be precise. When answered, he presented the items to his brother, with hardly any emotion or tell. ❝ Here, brother. I saw them this morning and thought of you. ❞ The perfect test subject.

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 door , he was less surprised to find loki behind it , and MORE surprised at the offering. his eye scoured the treats hungrily. danishes. his favorite. and quite lovely ones from the look of it. and still thor found them odd. loki was not the sort to dabble in apologies he did not mean. nor did thor expect to be graced by a sudden wind of familial kindness either.

their ships had blown too far away from one another to entertain that.

he would not leave them disregarded and left in loki's hand , but . . . ❝ brother , what so happens to be the occasion? ❞

ok found The Tornado by owl city and it finally kicked me into finally fleshing out the little idea i had originally from Ao E Mukau-

Its a storm world constantly covered by thick clouds, ruins of towns and cities no longer used as the old societies broke down- Giyuu and Sabito were born on the knife's edge of that collapse before the constant deadly storms made living like they were nearly impossible

one of the worst thunder storms in decades ripped through a large swath of area; Giyuu & Tsutako's parents getting killed while Sabito's mother and little brother were killed hours later when it passed over them, they both continued on with what family they had left for a few years, just trying to get enough money for food on the table and a house over their heads

when they were 13 a massive, absolutely devestating tornado hit the town Sabito lived in in the middle of the night- he was making a quick trip to the store for midnight snacks and ended up dragging his bike into a little culvert under a road with him, it mostly protected one side but when it started getting really bad some small debris started flying through and one jaggedly cut across his cheek before he curled up to wait it out. Hours later when day shouldve broke & the storm had calmed, he crawled out to finally see the total destruction of the place he called home- there was almost nothing left. His heart broke as he realized just how lucky he is to be alive, and how his dad and little sister weren't. He ran into a group of survivors and got his cheek patched up by some of the medical professionals who stepped up to check everyone over; months later an earthquake hit the city Giyuu & Tsutako lived in, she had shoved a screaming Giyuu in the only little saftey box they had and Giyuu survived falling & getting violently tossed around when the building collapsed- he was stuck in it for a day or so, crying and screaming to be let out and for his sister to be okay, before search and rescue teams found him and pried it open. they thought he was dead at first before he woke up and started crying again when he saw the damage to the area, they treated the cut on his forhead and he ran away before they could put him in an orphanage with the other only-survivor kids

I do think that when you're complaining about people on tumblr saying men dni or cis men dni you do need to add the context of the fact you can literally post a single photo of yourself and have like a dozen straight men with porn blogs in your dms some of them sending sexual messages and photos to you like. immediately.

like someone who's saying that isn't necessarily trying to enforce a gender binary more and when you're trans or genderfluid or transmasc it is like. well I guess I stay away then! and perhaps it's not the most ideal way because of that to set up boundaries. but like it's forming from a certain way this site functions regarding fetishization and sexual harassment, not blatant hatred at the mere concept of masculinity.
