So much more of the natural world feels close and accessible now. When I started birding, I remember thinking that I’d never see most of the species in my field guide. Sure, backyard birds like robins and western bluebirds would be easy, but not black skimmers or peregrine falcons or loggerhead shrikes. I had internalized the idea of nature as distant and remote — the province of nature documentaries and far-flung vacations. But in the past six months, I’ve seen soaring golden eagles, heard duetting great horned owls, watched dancing sandhill cranes and marveled at diving Pacific loons, all within an hour of my house. “I’ll never see that” has turned into “Where can I find that?”

-Ed Yong, When I Became a Birder, Almost Everything Else Fell Into Place

#birding #nature #this is a very sweet article and this bit in particular stuck out to me c:#i think things change a lot when you realize that nature isn't something that happens Out There #but something that happens all around you if you are willing to look #i am surrounded by wonders and get to discover new ones every day #the stuff of nature documentaries happens right here

To nobody's surprise, I am already deeply obsessed with the Crow...

#lucanis dellamorte #my art #dragon age veilguard #dragon age fan art #Having fun playing around in Clip Studio Paint for the first time #been taking my time with this one to experiment as I go #a bit of a change in direction for me but I like it

a new star

#i been thinkin about the asteroid again #i think about the asteroid a lot more than i think is normal #like just the complete randomness of it and how everything changed in literally the blink of an eye #like the dinoss rules the fucking earth and probably still would if space had just been a little bit different #how long did it take the asteroid to reach us #at what point was the impact inevitable #like these sound like scientific answers but i need you to know these are questions that my soul wants answered in poetry #yes the math is cool but can i talk about what tragedy looks like melted into the earth #how power and pain and mourning but also change and new life and a future were embedded in a layer of iridum that spread around the planet #can we talk about how looking at the layers of the earth is the most physical type of time travel there is #can i please talk about that layer of pain #can i mourn when i see it #or am i just a weird kid crying when i look at rocks #ALSO. was parasaurolophus alive when the asteroid hit? i dont think so #but it's too late #yall get to suffer with me #dinosaurs

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

#[isabeau voice] am i insane or does sometimes loop talk like they might have killed their whole family. is that just me? just checking.#nille design highly inspired by @kiwibrain's since its the one that imprinted in my mind. liberties taken since i didnt look @ reference #anyway i have a lot more thoughts on this? i guess ill hide them in the tags...? scroll down i suppose.#isat #in stars and time #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat act 6 spoilers #isat loop #isat siffrin #isat bonnie #isat nille #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #doodlebyte #----------------------------------------------------------------------#anyway the extra thoughts. are literally just my general thoughts on postcanon. (and thus are the context for all of my postcanon doodles!)#which is i think nille joins the party before loop reappears for a start (either from a period of nonexistence or just wandering around)#and that like. i think the party should be able to integrate loop as a completely new person. because they are! the secrecy isn't great but #They and Siffrin shuffle into different ecological niches in the party (eg. i think sif is more squeamish after it all but loop isnt)#and while it's not *exactly* what Loop wanted they get that beggars can't be choosers. and its pretty good #(i am glossing over how i think loop's reappearence drags both them and siffrin into a massive behavioural backslide and is likely a bit #distressing to watch go down. cycle of argument -> lovebombing -> normalcy -> repeat. etc etc. but since they are no longer literally #stewing in the worst pressure cooker of all time they do resolve it via productive conversation on their own time. its fine)#the party well-meaningly tries to deduce things from loop's vagueries and are able to pin down the DEAD FAMILY vibe pretty quickly.#but eventually the question of their prior identity falls by the wayside because well! they're just their friend loop! (also change belief)#as for how The Truth Come Out... this is what i mean by The Isabeau Torment Nexus(tm). which is that i think... isiloop should almost occur #BEFORE isabeau knows who loop is. he's just genuinely charmed by them eventually and tries to close the open end of the polycule #which FREAKS LOOP THE FUCK OUT because thats just too genuinely sick and wrong. and obviously w emotions high its not a great confrontation #ANYWAY told u i had more thoughts. if i were normal itd be a text post but.

Fucking love the final flashback montage in saw VI because the way they edited it makes it look like hoffman is pissing directly on an unconscious erickson's bald head

Ive been cry laugghing for five fucking minutes

#it fucks me up every time WHY DID THEY DO IT LIKE THAT #THE FUEL CAN BLENDS WITH THE RED BACKGROUND YOU CANT SEE IT IN TIME #theres NO WAY absolutely NOBODY in the editing team looked at this and went “um. maybe we should change the order of the clips around a bit #tbh maybe mark shoulve actually pissed on his head when he had the chance. guy really pissed me off #i just realized something about the last tag and came back running to tell you all that the pun was not intended #saw vi #saw #mark hoffman #dan erickson #tw blood

this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...

#and also. not the direct focus. but love doesn't make things good. you can be in love and do terrible terrible things.#people do bad things in the name of love and in despite of love all the time.#but!! imagine a world where people could exist as people and not be demonized.#sex positivity means being cool about All sex. reexamine your internal systems of moral judgement.#this goes for sex workers. for aroallo people. especially aroallo men. for aro people in general who might enjoy sex.#and frankly i think it can easily bleed into discussions about mental health disorders around 'not feeling' certain things #especially demonizing ppl who don't feel as much empathy. i think there's definitely a correlation between that and the emphasis on love.#our support needs to go out to Everybody and i think these things are all structured together in one way or another!!#it might not be immediately obvious but when i tell you it all leads back to amatonormativity..... little bit wild.... large bit wild....#anyway. horror movie psychopath 'oh he can't feel emotions or love' damn alright. well. let's take a closer look at that.#silly that there's an association between lack of love and Murdering. feel like that might affect some stuff.#love is just an emotion/a feeling it doesn't mean anything about you one way or another #same with empathy. you can feel it all you want but it doesn't inherently change the actions you choose to take #anyway. thesis statement. there is a socially constructed link between love and morality. unlearn that.#kiss kiss (<— lovelessly)#aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #talking #aroace #aspec #sex positivity

#post that caters to ME specifically #let me first tag #ghost trick spoilers #lost future spoilers #now that that's out of the way. you know who's on that suitcase ;)#also claire is fucked up by time travel shenanigans so it's possible let's just say #also ghost powers grow and change with time sooooo. let's play with canon #layton “i have a dead girlfriend” and yomiel “i had a dead girlfriend” bisexuals #also yes the whole gang traveled to london they're just strolling around #maya had unfinished business and now that she's more powerful she's BACK #this would take place 7-or-so years after lost future/plvspw so layton is in his mid-forties here. i had to look it so correct me if im not #also yes this is a crossover AU i have rotating in my mind i love the source material and layton's and claire whole thing no shade to that #powerful narrative that made me cry #but with aa and gt magic fuckery we have the technology #also about the jail bit. that's a fic i am writing (one sentence every month)#ghost trick #professor layton #ace attorney #my art #ms paint #GOD. that wall of text is surely something

How much can you fit under your skin?

For @warning-heckboop's AU :3

#Haha get peeled idiot #fop #fairly oddparents #fop a new wish #fairly oddparents a new wish #fop dev #dev dimmadome #fop peri #art #digital art #fanart #candy gore #body horror #just a little #blood tw #fop gifted au #I spent like 2 whole days on this I cannot remember the last time I spent that long on a single drawing #Also sorry if the shading is ugly Im not used to doing smooth shading #art is so hard #His wings look a little scrungly because they're still like. Freshly hatched. still wet with mucus and whatever #Have you ever seen a butterfly fresh from the cocoon and their wings are all crumpled up?#so yeah their unevenness is intentional lol #I spent forever debating whether I wanted to put Peri there #but ultimately I thought it made the composition more interesting so I kept him #Also youll notice his wings are slightly different now I decided to redesign them to be a bit more galaxy like #its hard to see here but Ive changed the 3 dots to resemble planets in a row: Green for cosmo pink for Wanda and different pink for timmy #I think it came out a bit ugly in this but whatever Ive spend too long on this already #I wanted Devs wings to be reminiscent of gold. For some reason I really liked the idea of them curving inward too #Maybe to represent that hes selfcentered. Woagh it all points back to him Wough!!!!! anyway #Btw also sorry for no Nature AU content my motivation just kinda crashed. I have ideas still but getting around to drawing them is hard

#i've been having soooo many feelings about isaloop #god i love them sm #first image is just them. also loop helping with isa's dysphoria a bit teehee #i think they bond a lot over having Changed in a large capacity #and they help each other when they feel any sort of disconnect with their body #isa is a little meaner around loop.. maybe...#but in a lighthearted way! i think that's just the effect loop has on others LMAO #and also like. sometimes u just gotta get the hater out of u #and isa's unending kindness makes loop more willing to be nice sometimes too !#me when... two people rub off on each other and balance each other out.. UEAUGH #second image is ans manga redraws #just being self indulgent and combining my favorite ot3s LOL DW ABOUT IT #but also. siffrin is prince zen; loop is obi; isa is shirayuki i take no criticisms #based more on their dynamics with e/o than perfect personality match!#last image is just isa being cute he is very cute #isat #in stars and time #isat siffrin #in stars and time fanart #isat fanart #isat isabeau #isat loop #isaloop #sloopis #isabeau #siffrin #loop #loop isat #artilite doodle #artilite

I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️

#f1 #formula 1 #formula one #max verstappen #nico rosberg #lewis hamilton #brocedes #like niki lauda had to try multiple times to literally parent trap them to try and get them on speaking terms it never worked #because one would arrive they'd see the other and the other would leave #& if i remember correctly the garage crew would swap around from race to race as a like see we aren't favouring anybody gesture 😭#and thats no shade to nico because it was both of them contributing to that environment #his comment re max is just making me laugh #like if i was a part of the pr/media team - which is a part of the degree I'm working on irl - at merc that year i would've lost the plot #like its insane reflecting on it nearly a decade later but the poor souls just trying to do their job in the eye of that storm #truly gods strongest soldiers #ngl the professional comment irks me a bit because its not like max is engaging in inappropriate work place behaviour #he's engaging in another aspect of racing that his involvement raises awareness of & that makes racing more accessible #& we all know how inaccessible not only getting into racing is but also to continue to pursue the further along you go #theres so many stories of 1 sibling giving up racing so the other can keep going because the family can't afford for them both to race #its a huge financial strain & we only see a handful of drivers talk about that & try to do something to change it #and nicos fellow sky sports commentators are routinely unprofessional on so many levels #additionally max had a lot of valid reasons to be annoyed at his team today #but alas he's not english so he's ungrateful #i hate that drivers can't criticise their teams or car without immediately being branded as bratty & ungrateful #ESPECIALLY WHEN THEIR JOB IS TO GIVE FEEDBACK #you can see the double standards from sky when say Lando or George have complaints with their team/car v the likes of Max and Yuki #especially Yuki my god the things i would do to get the British media to leave him alone #this was a jokey post at one point and then became a rant whoops lmao #I'll leave it that before i write an actual essay here 😭✋��

#monster hunter au #monster hunter au fanart #cockroachdoodles #Listen.... I can see how he acts like a puppy around him....#The only one he might not be scared to freely act around and will to ask for affection #at the same time being a bit scared that he might leave him?...#Kind of.... he just snatched him so fast to get him away from danger #He already ready to protect him #Being grateful for what he did from him in the past #He surely could die back then!#OH HOW I love that he can't speak....#And the fact that Ratchet doesn't know that it is that same beast....#I mean of course he might have saved another beast and it would have been grateful to him but be angry enough at his kind to just run away #from him leaving him behind. He is just his saviour “and I saved him by not eating him”#But Deadlock just basically was saved twice. Trying to pay him off #And being all puppy and clumsy....#Growing up yet almost not changing ehehehe...#Wondering if there will be Wing....

Have a Sun, Moon, and a StarrSpice!

I’ve been super busy with work and other stuff in my life so I haven’t had the time energy or motivation to really draw all that much, but with things settling down a bit I decided to stretch my drawing muscles and dive back in

And who better to do that with than sun and Moon? The most drawable boys ever

Very self indulgent but very much needed with the chaos in my life lately

It feels good to be back

The Golden Boy of Lanling Jin

#jin zixuan #mo dao zu shi #mdzs #the untamed #my art #i used to love this redesign but now i'm not so sure #i still love the bleached blonde with dark brow and black eyes #but i think i want to give him very straight hair instead of the luscious one #and while i love the archer-y approach to his pompous robes i think i want to change it around a bit too #this is my original re-design #we will see if i come up with something else
