little study from a photo I took while out on a walk! Check out the little cormorant drying his sweet feathers! I am a big fan of cormorants. In fact they are my favourite bird on this river after Herons.

“Golden Leaves,” by Bear McCreary and Benjamin Walker, from The Rings of Power: Season 2 Original Series Soundtrack.

Sís laurië lassi taiter, yénin linwavandië. Anpalla Vai Ahtalëa, sí lantar Eldaniër. Eldalié! Eldalié! Hrívë túla helda ré úlassëa. Eldalié! Eldalié! I lassi lantar celumenna. (Cormar nelde aranin Eldaron.) Eldalié and’ amárielvë ambena solor. Sí néca riëmancan, viliën an Valinor. Eldalié! Eldalié! Hrívë túla helda ré úlassëa. Eldalié! Eldalié! I lassi lantar celumenna.

Here long the golden leaves have grown upon the branching years. For beyond the Sundering Seas now fall the Elven-tears.

O Elven-kind! O Elven-kind! The winter comes, a bare and leafless day. O Elven-kind! O Elven-kind! The leaves are falling in the stream.

(Three rings for the Elven kings.)

Elven-kind, long have we dwelt upon this Hither Shore. Now a fading crown I trade, to sail to Valinor.

O Elven-kind! O Elven-kind! The winter comes, a bare and leafless day. O Elven-kind! O Elven-kind! The leaves are falling in the stream.

cormarant fishing is really cool but ngl i wouldn't be upset if it were relegated to the past, it works by tying a snare around the bird's throat so they can't swallow the caught fish. also babe the bird flu

Hubristic Assholes Tourney round 1 part 4a

Ahab (Moby Dick) vs Laerryn Cormar-Seelie (Critical Role Exandria Unlimited: Calamity)

Propaganda Below Cut (Beware Spoilers)

Ahab

He's the physical embodiment of hubris. His arrogance leads directly to his death at the hands (or fins) of the whale he hunts relentlessly; https://www.tumblr.com/byrdsfly/686201047107174400/captain-ahab-assigned-hubris-at-birth

Laerryn

She built a device to transport her whole city into another dimension specifically to spite the gods. When the machine killed her best friend, instead of thinking "Wow, this might be a bad idea" she threw herself into solving it, sacrificing her marriage. When she discovered the system that was preventing her from getting the magic she needed to move the city, she destroyed it, unleashing the evil betrayer gods and dooming the entire world; The Ur-example of Wizard Hubris™.

Laerryn lived in a flying magocratic city and was the person in charge of the magical engines that kept it flying. In secret, she constructed her own engine, the Astral Leywright, that would allow the city to travel between planes of existence, believing that, as this would be among the greatest magical accomplishments of the age, she would be forgiven by the city's authorities for tampering with the engines once her deeds had come to light. Her commitment to this project cost her her marriage and her best friend, who was stranded in the Astral Plane after he agreed to be the first person to test it, but she continued undaunted. Eventually, when the Leywright was ready to be activated (under even better conditions than she had anticipated), she discovered that another of the city's apparati, the Tree of Names, a magic tree that had been placed there by the druids who lived on the land the city had came from, was siphoning the power she needed. Shortly afterward, it became evident that there was a conspiracy in the city to release a group of imprisoned evil gods, and that the city landing (something she needed for the Leywright to activate) was a vital part of their plan. Not only did she disregard this threat, but she also ended up destroying the Tree of Names (for a variety of reasons, but partially because it was an obstacle), thus unknowingly removing the last barrier that was keeping the evil gods from entering the world. Shortly after that she did turn around and use the Leywright to help mitigate some of the damage that would be done by those gods (dying in the process, but not before she'd reconciled with her ex-husband); Laerryn is wizard hubris incarnate, pursuing knowledge and magical advancement at the cost of all else and confident enough in her power to see herself as equivalent to a god. Vote for her if you support women's wrongs.

bird tumbler, behold!

my birdier friend, @dragonsbutter helped me identify this weird bird I saw from this drawing I made:

To most likely be a neotropic cormarant:

Huzzah! Behold her skill!!! We might be wrong if it wasn't tucking it's neck but that would explain the weird angle of its head that looked quite Wrong™️ to me.

Lantern of Evil, Epilogue

MARVEL MASTERLIST

READ CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Epilogue: An Eternal Beacon of Light

You are the stars/ Looking down on the world from afar/ You will shine through the night/ An eternal beacon of light

____________________

There’s no occasion for him to give you a gift. The holidays have passed and the sky is spitting down sleet and there aren’t even colorful lights to make it look cheerier. Maybe that’s why he showed up for your date with a brightly-wrapped rectangle and his sweetest smile.

It’s clearly a framed piece of art. You hope, you hope, it’s one of Steve’s drawings. You’d love to hang one of his pieces on your wall. Maybe with a spotlight. Definitely with a little gallery tag.

You gleefully tear off the wrapping paper and flip it over.

“Steve.”

“Yep?” He’s grinning at his feet, rocking back and forth on his heels.

“Steven Grant Rogers.”

“Yeah, sweetheart?”

“She has my face.”

“Yours is nicer than the original.” He looks up at you, eyes dancing, and you can’t help but grin back.

“So you’re saying I have a lantern of evil in my pants.”

“Could be a lantern of justice.” He gives you a look. “I’d have to check.”

You pat his cheek. “You have to help me hang this, first.”

There’s a hint of red on his cheeks and ears, and his eyes turn bashful. “So you – you do like it, then?”

“It’s perfect.”

Later, after you’ve properly thanked him, you print out a cardstock exhibition label to place below it:

               

Hamilton, Joan of Arc and the Furies Fuseli, The Nightmare Smith, The Weird Sisters Runciman, Cormar Attacking a Spirit of the Water

Baru Cormarant survives solely on spite and the will to fuck women.

[alter-koker]

albatrosses and cormarants are the best birds to me for some reason. the first one you can hang around your neck for your awesome sins and people will throw rocks at u. and the second is another cool seabird
