told my friend i think furries are cool and that i’d be one if i was actually good at drawing them and she got super weird about it?? like telling me they’re all weird sexual animal abusers and shit like that. FUCKING OBVIOUSLY NOT WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. the majority of furries are literally just lgbt autistic people expressing themselves in a unique way making anthro animal ocs and dressing up like them FOR FUN. ITS NOT FUCKING WEIRD. i hate cringe culture SO much and my friend just got so weird about it :( and she was not listening to anything i was trying to explain. like obvs there are real freaks but people who aren’t furries can also be freaks like that and like 99% of furries are just being silly and having fun expressing themselves dude. srry for rambling about this but it’s so annoying and frustrating when my friends judge people and think they’re weird and cringe just for silly misunderstood interests like that. those people are just having fun expressing themselves without caring about being judged by people and i admire that. and it’s hard to be myself around someone who makes fun of people like that because it shows how they would really view me. idk if this makes sense but yeah i just really fucking hate cringe culture. furries are cool as fuck. stop fucking making fun of mostly autistic people for their their weird or different interest when it’s not even hurting anybody and just having fun and expressing themselves.

@sabellabella I dont mind at all!! I hope u dont mind me answering in a post becuz im gonna YAP agdsjagd
to be honest I don't.,, know yet? im only about 46 episodes into 5ds so a lil ways into the dark signers arc, so im hesitant to make up a particular meeting scenario if I haven't watched like MOST of 5ds :''3
which might seem silly!! and I know I don't have to make my characters 100% follow the in show arcs but a nagging voice in my brain says I do-
TL;DR Im not sure yet! I don't think sticking her in the dark signers arc would be my favourite but that might change! ((i do have a dark signers design of her just for funsies tho teehee))
DAMN im talkin a LOT. I have some other thoughts under cut!
I do however think she'd have ties with Carly!! Bluejay is an upcoming turbo dueler trying to climb her way to the top, in my head she does a lot of street racing duels and smaller circuit races and probably got interviewed by Carly a couple times, so they'd've interacted so through Carly -> Bluejay -> Jack. Bluejay acts very big on camera so she'd probably have said she wants to go beyond Jacks "King" title. Jack n Bluejay would butt heads they both think the other is insufferable but thats what makes it FUN
off-topic but I'm ranting anyways, Carly/Bluejay can also be a thing bc I love Carly SM shes bisexual failgirl to me and she deserves a gf too :]c
TLDR AGAIN, I need to keep watching and digging in wikis until i come out covered in blood and gripping a cohesive timeline for Jay! ((I have a bunch of individual ideas bouncing in my head AND another 5d's OC I need to flesh out too!)) For now I just play with her like a doll hejkhskjhs

i fully blame @bearlydruid for this but
my brain is RAMPANT with the idea that when we first encounter it as the player character, the emerald grove is startlingly devoid of any actual signs of real life. Bree Druid Rant TM under the cut
Druids are by nature a group of people who are intensely social and place a high value on raising children and filling their enclaves with new life. There are no young people and children at the grove. This enclave has clearly been struggling for a while before we encounter it as Tav. It's almost empty, the rooms are decaying and falling apart. Even the animals that hang around the main area are fully grown. The bluejay you can interact with, that nest is EMPTY. Not a feather or an egg to be seen, though he is trying his best to find a mate with his display. What I'm saying is, things are horribly OFF about this grove from the beginning. The only signs of life and of young life are outsiders welcomed in to be protected from looming threats. Typically, each circle also has a creche and a crechemaster, who tend little lives and make sure the children are provided for. This place is crumbling around us...there are no signs of growth, only stagnant things and seething old emotions from far before (potentially) Tav is even alive.
(What I am actually saying is. We were robbed by proxy because we can't see Reithwin if the player chooses to guide Halsin toward restoring that land,,, and we were robbed in the beginning of seeing Halsin with a bunch of tiny druid babies who are all very glad to see him return, and do the thing where they just get so excited they dogpile the person in question, but Halsin happens to just be strong enough to keep standing upright while they all dangle off hsi arms and shoulders and chirp at him all excited)
I'm not saying that Halsin is necessarily the reason for this sort of...off-ness...but it struck me that playing as a druid, Tav ought to know something is VERY wrong here from those blatantly missing markers of a living circle. After all, nature survives on two things: stewardship and progeny. (Okay you could possibly argue that Halsin isn't a good steward, since that role does fall to him by default...but nothing about this situation if we're going on a Halsin-centric route is exactly typical and normal, and hasn't been for over a hundred years, it's just simply at least from my point of view, something that's been confined to his own circle at the grove being that the wider world and other circles might not be aware of the curse itself or of ketheric thorm at all, or even of the current tadpole crisis)
I also think that once you're touched by that curse, it leaves a mark on you even if you do manage to be freed. There is something fundamentally altered about both Halsin and even Jaheira since that battle. It follows that at least for Halsin, a curse that warps and twists souls that cannot get out, would at least poison a soul a bit that does manage to get out. Hence the preoccupation. But also, general trauma and losing so many loved ones at once tends to alter people as well. But for sure a combination of that curse and that general event could lead to someone (at least as its alluded from his own mouth, but he is a biased narrator with very harsh opinions of himself) not being the best of leaders. There is a very real chance that did alter his perceptions of stewardship in general and also of how one plays the role of steward. He speaks very ill of the role of leader, and is glad to give it up, but again, if it was thrust on him in less than ideal circumstances (and for druids this role is something you study for decades, and ideally rotate out of and another will take that responsibility at a different point) he could have been very ill prepared for that role. As much as there are no children, there are also no elders, which are also a key component of how druidic circles survive. Halsin seems to be the eldest person in that grove, which is yet another reason he possibly stayed archdruid as long as he did.

ELSIE RANT BISCUITS
ummmm hmmmm uhhhhh
Birdhouse lol
Man do I love these two oh my lannnnnds
Chip was supposed to be a random birb, like the Avis were not originally meant to be able to be human. And then Clara and fei got bored so I was like
“Yunno what?
W O E
CHILD BE UPON YE”
one of my “random tropes specialities” is “woe wholesome child be upon ye” and it shows because I think I have made the most child characters lol and all of them end up adopted somehow
Alpenglow has her family mess, Fynn is Fynn, Chip is adorable, Kitsune probably counts…YEP.
Chip is a sweetheart and is genuinely just trying his best. Like, Clara is his hero, he’d do anything for them. Speaking of, he’s reaching the end of his training! So he’ll be a proper Avis soon. Avis have a training benchmark and a name benchmark. They finish training (which, while long and somewhat difficult, is generally tailored to their strengths), and they get their name from befriending someone. This is meant to mirror Dusk meeting and naming Bluejay. That why they’re birds, too.
I’m also excited to see Jessy and Fynn be wholesome, he was a side character for Alpen to be friends with (he had a crush on her for a while lol) and now he’s a CHARACTERRRRRRR
Please gimme more things to rant about pls pls pls

JUST SAW YOUR ASK ON HELLSITE-GENETICS AND NEEDED TO SEND YOU AN ASK!! /POS
you are like literally the person i want to be with the bird stuff i absolutely LOVE belted kingfishers they are so pretty. they are also one of my favorite birds (i have too many favorites i cant just pick one) but birds are so smart and their feathers are so cool like omg i love birds
im currently a small senior in highschool/sophomore in college and want more people who like birds in my life :))
anyway whats your favorite thing to study about birds? mine is how smart they are but also like how bluejays have the feathers that reflect the sun to show the blue :))
Tumblr media
[id: screenshot of two text messages that say "oh good i get to get [sic] explain this to you" / "you will regret this" followed by the ellipses of someone typing. end id]
FELLOW BIRD ENJOYER SPOTTED
(sad my ask to hellsite-genetics didn't get me a bird tho but i did get the added satisfaction of knowing the goofy goober song is a member of the genus i exalted in my ask so all in all it's a solid win)
let me preface all of this with saying that while a lot of my experience with birds and learning about birds has been in a classroom setting i've also spent *checks watch* three summers now (including this upcoming one) doing field work working almost exclusively with birds in the midwest united states, so honestly a lot of the things i've learned have been incidental knowledge i've obtained working in the field. i'm not an *expert*, i just have a BS in environmental science and a lot of birding experience.
full slapshod essay rant of me going on about birds (edit: i just reread it and good GOD i went on for a while) of me talking about birds below the cut bc i already know this is gonna be far too long but you asked about my favorite thing in the world so this is on you my friend (affectionate)
i'm definitely ENRAPTURED with how smart birds are. They're so fucking intelligent it's almost scary.
since you brought em up imma talk about bluejays first!! i did part of a project my last year of college on bluejays!!
blue jays will often mimic the calls of other birds, esp predators like red-tailed hawks, with such accuracy that even bird id apps like Merlin (shameless plug) will mistake a mimicking bluejay for a real red-tailed. when i was doing audio surveys for northern bobwhites we had to have a separate training day where the only thing we focused on was how to tell if a mockingbird / thrasher / blue jay was mimicking the distinct bobwhite call and how that wasn't to be counted as a sighting.
(in my experience a lot of it has to do with pitch, repetition, and completion of what's considered the 'full song' of the NOBO, since a lot of mimids won't do the 'full song' and will just handpick bits to weave into the rest of their noises. bluejays especially will do this. mockingbirds will sometimes do the full song, but NOBOs have a pretty measurable repetition gap between their songs, at least in the areas we were doing surveys).
i remembered learning in a class that some bluejays will find bird feeders and spy on them, then mimic red-tailed and red-shouldered hawk calls to get the other birds to scatter, so they can then fly down and eat without having to fight for the tastiest bits.
when i was working with birds over the summer, one of the things we did was setting ground traps for mourning doves so they could be banded and then tracked for hunter take (they're a game species in my state). there were always blue jays in those traps. they're so fascinating to see up close, with their heavy bills and tough little feet and they're so full of rage. and they're loud.
also the thing about their FEATHERS - YES. it fucked me up to learn blue jays are naturally brown. iirc it has to do with the way the barbs on their feathers are put together with modified cells, which scatter the light in a special way to make them appear blue. If you get a bluejay feather in your hand it's only blue at certain angles and the undersides are almost usually completely brown unless you hold them in the light just so.
blue jays are part of the family Corvidae so it makes sense why they're so smart, in the family with other birds like ravens and crows.
well i didn't mean to go on for so long about blue jays. they are wonderful tho aren't they?? <3
my favorite thing to study about birds??? hoooooo boy what a question. everything?? is everything an option??
habitat effects on population size and habitat selection at the individual level is fascinating. i've done a lot of work with population studies, basically doing audio-visual surveys (point counts) of how many of x and y and z target species live in this area at a given point in time, then using that data to extrapolate potential population numbers in an area as narrow as a few square miles and as wide as the whole state (i worked for the state department of natural resources so we were focused only on our state obv).
in that effort, using that information to both directly and indirectly learn what environmental factors affect which bird species and how was so so interesting to me, and some of them are things so small we don't even think about them sometimes!! if there's as few as a handful of pine/cedar/evergreen trees in a field or grassland, you're far more likely to find cedar waxwings and indigo buntings, and you rarely see them in areas dominated by deciduous trees. red-winged blackbirds love wetlands, and while they aren't (iirc) specifically wetland-dependent, something as small as a single pond is enough to attract them in droves.
behavior is also such a cool topic to me, which i've learned more and more about just by birdwatching and attending bird-related conferences and working with wildlife biologists.
birds like the brown creeper are bark foragers that almost exclusively move upwards along a tree. they'll start at the bottom and move up, and once they reach a point they deem 'too high', they'll fly to the bottom of the next tree and move up. conversely, birds like nuthatches, still bark foragers, almost exclusively move down trees in the same way - they'll start at the top, forage downwards, and when they reach the bottom, they'll fly back to the top and do it again.
the yellow-bellied sapsucker (woodpecker family), as the name implies, eats a lot of sap, so they drill holes into a tree, like woodpeckers do, but they lay them down in 'bands' that run horizontally around the tree, often with multiple rows on top of each other, leading to a grid-like pattern of shallow holes only an inch or two apart from each other. that's often the best way to figure out where to look for sapsuckers when you're birding!! (apart from actually seeing or hearing the little guy, obv.)
incidentally, i learned that it's really really hard to put backpack trackers on henslow's sparrows, not bc they're so small and hard to catch, but because they're smart enough to realize there's a thing on their back and will, somehow, pull the backpack around to their front and completely mangle it beyond repair, and that's before they chew it off.
god i could go on forever. kestrels. ospreys. owls. nightjars. songbirds. fisherbirds. albatrosses. puffins. kinglets. sparrows. starlings. they're all so good and perfect and wonderful and fascinating and if i could learn everything about all of them forever i would.
in an extremely roundabout way of answering your question, if you're still reading and haven't run for the hills yet, i can't pick just one thing to call my favorite to learn about birds. everything about them is so interesting and makes me so excited to learn and see and talk about.
belted kingfisher lovers unite!
edit: I DIDN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT TURKEYS EITHER I'M DOING TURKEY RESEARCH TOO -

On today’s edition of “ELSIE WHY”, we’re back to wicked again!
Okay so there’s this period of time we keep vaguely alluding to existing where Dusk and Sun are frenemies and don’t entirely like but don’t entirely dislike each other. This is proooobably right after sun comes back the very first time. Right after the Bluejay thing.
its existence can mainly be attributed to a single line and a plot hole.
“Duuuuusk, loosin’ up a bit…” (from the “dusk hears too much suffering” long post with mix)
How does Dusk know of the bar?
I propose, since i listened to “popular” again lol, that Sun spent some time trying to help dusk be a goddess and just being the WORST influence on her. This is probably what really sparks up her fear of alcohol. I’m not entirely sure how sun would do all this, since…I ain’t exactly the sun mod lol. So I leave that bit of Elsie rant to you.
*hands you the Elsie rant pass and giggles excitedly*
Sun would probably be a bit drunk when she helped Dusk, which would already give Dusk a bad impression...
I feel like she'd show her around and show her all of the places and stuff and how "simple" it is to be a goddess while having the biggest slur in her voice and the loopiest dizziest walk of all time. Very much attributing to: It is not simple
During this she'd probably show Dusk where the bar is, OR Dusk would ask Sun about being a goddess and she'd find her there, which stitches up that plot hole nicely
