A couple of sketches of Enoch Graves from my fic Burns & Earnest: The Men Behind the Pottsfield Street Puppets Radio Special [Transcript], which is one hell of a long title now that I'm looking at it all typed out.

hello! sorry to interrupt you.

read all your ocelhira fanfiction.

i'm thrilled, ma'am. my pain of reading it with a translator is just worth it. catharsis is real. please, let me tamp my thoughts down.

where and when can I get more? do you plan on writing more about metal gear and/or ocelhira? can you recommend me more authors? asking for a friend.

sorry if i did some mistakes, english is not my native language

thank you!

don’t know how tumblr works, I’m just a copycat

ANON I am thrilled to answer

... I have so many ocelhira WIPs it's embarrassing, two of which are finished in fact. I've simply been lazy getting them out. I promise I'll get some ocelhira fluff out this week.

I'm happy to recommend some amazing works from others too, there are some authors in this fandom that cook so fucking good it's unbelievable. We are truly lucky.

The Enemy of My Enemy by arienai This fucking fic is not just the ocelhira fic for me, it's the fic. If there's someone in the fandom who hasn't read this yet - what are you waiting for?

Mile High Club by Hideaki This one is SO GODDAMN HOT. And funny. And cute. Also there was this amazing art by sinkurteeth just last week, jesus FUCK.

Point of Entry by heavymetalqueen Listen, I get that sounding may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'd take a look even if it isn't yours. This fic is super sweet. Anything by this author is worth reading, and they have a ton of ocelhira.

Vibrissae by Not_You Ocelot is a demon/cat/yokai/thing. What more do you need to know?

Diners and Drive-Ins and Diamonds by goodnightfern Another author that has many certified ocelhira bangers. In this one, Guy Fieri visits Miller's Maxi Buns.

Mr. Deere's Wild Ride by goodnightfern & SkazuhiraMiller Just click it, you won't be dissappointed.

Series: The World to Come by RoseOfTheDune This is exactly how I like my stupid ocelhiras, inconveniently falling in love. The fourth part is INTENSE, I was screaming for the entire time.

Business As Usual by Dabchick A DD soldier observes Oce and Kaz and is surprised by what he sees.

two strangers, we might have never met by springs_charioteer This recent fic feels like core ocelhira to me. Not much happens, but the atmosphere is so on point, I adore.

There are many many great ocelhira fics that are not mentioned here, honestly I'd recommed just working your way through the entire tag since there's less than 400 works.

Thank you anon for this great ask <3

Little grebes

[ghost-orion]

barnaby dixon came up in my shorts so this is a friendly reminder that he's transphobic and has made a video about "transitioning children" with a guest "expert" on. with his fucking puppets hosting it obviously.

these are the types puppets he makes, mechanical-looking and puppeted by his whole hand. so yeah, if you ever see them, there.

[hecho-a-mano]

why do dabchicks look like they are very surprised by something

[the-knight-sir-dres]

I think Tumblr needs to know about Barnaby Dixon his shit is honestly so impressive like goddamn some of those Guys are just Hella good. Dabchick pulls the 'enjoyable dickhead' better than Jax imo. Go watch his stuff its so fuckin sick

Today I got to look at some weweia (NZ dabchick\NZ grebe) while canoeing so I included them in my votes for bird of the year ♥️

For Voiceteam 2024, I recorded this drabble two times, once as the first thing I’d ever podded, and once at the end of the round, having learned a bunch of podficcing skills over the challenges. As a long-time podfic enthusiast, I’m so excited to be learning to pod myself!

I'm going to southern france next month. Any suggestions for common birds to keep an eye out for? Our library system had one book on birds of Europe and it's huge and overwhelming.

Birds of the Camargue

I do not have a way of knowing what birds are common in that region, versus what is occasional, but I can put you in touch with some resources, along with a few of the cooler birds from that region.

(*we messaged earlier about what are of southern France they would be visiting.)

Some good links:

Recently

As much as my PhD is keeping me busy, I have had a few photographic escapes recently.

I’m busy writing up my Doctoral thesis, which doesn’t leave time for much else in life, apart from work. But here’s a few images from recent adventures, to let you know I’m still alive!
