Vote Bird That Carries You Over a Disproportionately Small Gap in the 2023 @ut-side-character-showdown!!

Let's review in-game actions:

The Bird notably struggles to get us across the gab due to it's small size, but continues to work hard and do it as many times as a person or monster may need anyways! Makes travel in Waterfall so much more convenient, and provides this service Free of Charge!! The Bird's theme song also fills our heart with determination to accomplish goals and do the amazing!!

Speaking of theme songs -- our precious bird's song can make sooo many awesome remixes too, case in point::

Headcanons for why the Bird carries us over to train are so wholesome ::

So as a final reminder:

CHERISH THIS BIRD & VOTE FOR #BIRDSWEEP

Birds of Prey issue 75 has two stories and one of them has to play damage control both literally for the loss of the Clocktower but also figuratively for why the hell would Barbara Gordon do that? The answer is whoever was writing Batman at the time had her do it while Batman was fighting Black Mask in the Clock Tower. I can only imagine how infuriating the decision was, and judging by Simone's writing in this issue I'm almost certain it was made without consulting her at all. The first three pages are wordless, Oracle, Black Canary, and Huntress all have nothing to say as they watch in silent vigil the remains of the Clock Tower being contained by the Fire Department. Then the obligatory page where Simone has to explain why the character she's been writing made such a rash, out of character decision: because she was worried about Bruce.

If it makes you upset that's cause it was meant to. It's purposefully falling into the trope of a woman character making a sacrifice to aid the leading man. Not just that, but Simone takes it a step further by having Barbara make herself the damsel in distress. It reads as "oh this is what you meant by making the character I've been writing do that. So I'm just going to say that out loud so it's clear to everyone else."

Then after the obligatory damage control flashback we get the Birds of Prey all together, Huntress and Black Canary are comforting their leader, teammate, and friend. Here's where Simone twists the knife a bit more, having Barbara talk about the things we don't see when things like this happen in comics. What the characters really lose when they make sacrifices like this: old costumes, family photos, a place to sleep. Memories that are now without their talismans for recall. Now these exist only in the mind and in the past.

And then one more page of group healing and it's back to work. Simone doesn't waste time or pages cleaning up the mess another writer made with her character. She uses exactly as much as she needs while also making those moments linger. She wants you to know how this makes her characters, and herself feel, but she isn't going to give the other writer the satisfaction of making the entire story a reaction issue.

It's really a testament to how much Gail Simone cares about the agency of women both on and off the panel.

Randomly remembered that “favorite animal” post and realized I did not include grackles in the tags. Shameful!!!

Grackles are great cuz they are mother fuckers

Nothing cheers me up faster than seeing a grackle hopping and skipping away from bigger birds while holding a bundle of french fries in its tiny beak, literally could fly away but chooses to flaunt its bouquet of potato. Fuckhead behavior.

I figured the greater antillean grackle (or Chango was well call them) were the only ones like this, but when I went to the US, i was so delighted to find out the grackles here were slightly bigger but overall The Same personality. Bastard across borders.

I love pigeons too, but there’s amusement in seeing grackles literally trick pigeons into dropping their food.

Also look at this please. This is what a bird that lives in La Perla and tricks pigeons out of their money looks like.

How handsome can you get. I love you changos!

Battle Royale

so you got submitted to a niche bird poll (A-4)

These birds all have more than a million sightings on eBird, what were you thinking submitting them to a dumb niche hipster poll??? Joking aside, these birds were definitely too popular to get into the poll itself. Please vote for your favorite here!

Something I've never been able to get out of my head is that when jaiden and roier lived together during the beginnings of qsmp, jaiden had a really hard time with her bird instincts whenever she was around him. There are some species of birds that eat spiders, and while jaiden wouldn't do that, I like to imagine that she sometimes takes roier away by grabbing him with her talons due to predator bird instincts. She's gotten a lot better at controlling herself, but there are times where she almost slips up and does it again.

The online pet store where I order food and stuff for my birds actually had these Christmas-decorated treat sticks and I had to get them... 8 sticks in total. Although I rarely give them sugary treats, today is an exception. 😌🎉
