The black kite (Milvus migrans) is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae and is possibly the most numerous and wide spread species of raptor being found throughout much of Europe, the Middle East, both mainland Africa and Madagascar, both Northern and Southern mainland Asia, Japan, Indonesia, New Guinea, and Australia. Throughout this great range Black kites dwell in a variety habitats including wetlands,  coastlines, temperate grassland, tropical savannas, shrubland, scrublands, open woodlands, agricultural areas, and even large cities, only really avoiding dense forests, open sand dune desert, and high mountains. They are a highly social species which tends to form larger flocks than most other raptors, which spend the night in large communal roosts before taking flight come morning to hunt throughout the day. Black kites are most often seen gliding and soaring on thermals as they search for prey such as fish, rodents, bats, smaller birds, insects, and small reptiles. Which they catch by swooping down with there legs lowered to snatch the victim with ease. They are attracted to smoke and wildfires, where they seek escaping prey, and commonly called firehawks do to there ability and propensity to spread fires by picking and dropping burning twigs or chunks of grass so as to flush and kill even more prey. They are also known to regularly feed upon carrion and human garbage. And are known to drop items such as sticks/ rocks onto nesting waterfowl, or weaver nests in order to tear open the structures and eat the eggs/ chicks. Black kites are themselves preyed upon by eagles and especially the Eurasian eagle owl. Reaching around 20 to24 inches (52 to 60cms) in length, 22 to 33oz (630 -940g) and sporting a 55 to 60in (140 to 150cm) wingspan, these mid sized birds are generally dark in color. The upper plumage is brown but the head and neck tend to be paler. The patch behind the eye appears darker. The outer flight feathers are black and the feathers have dark cross bars and are mottled at the base. The lower parts of the body are pale brown, becoming lighter towards the chin. The body feathers have dark shafts giving it a streaked appearance. The cere and gape are yellow, but the bill is black. The legs are yellow and the claws are black. These are monogamous bird which mate for life, and typically build nests out of sticks, twigs, grasses, and occasionally plastic and fabric on tree branches, cliff ledges, or buildings and may be reused in subsequent years. Here the female will lay 2-3 eggs which are incubated by both parents for 30 -34 days. Under ideal conditions a black kite will fledge and become independent after around 50 days, reach sexual maturity at around 2 years, and may live upwards of 25 years.‌

Been on a Shmup kick recently and been really enjoying Fire Hawk for the Genesis. I’m playing on Easy and managed to get to the 10th stage! The high score in the top right was from that run~

What you said? I...uh recognise that beauty and delicacy of the relationship you described... I... um don't trust myself. I'm afraid I'm a lot bolder than you are, Oddly. You don't think that would necessarily endanger everything, do you? At the very idea that I should... have to spend my honeymoon watching her paint in watercolours just because she likes somebody from the Buttercup family. I... I'm a man in love. It's the first time in my life... I want to take her in my arms. I thought because I was young, I had self-control but that's not true. I think of her, every waking moment. Why, if this marriage had been delayed, I mean it should have been delayed. I mean... should be. Listen to that, I don't know my tenses anymore. I've gone goofy! Completely goofy! Bin Buggy! Slap Happy! Can a man like that keep his mind on the enema neurosis? Pottsie!

I was admittedly flummoxed by the announcement that the forthcoming Eldar update would round out the remaining Aspect Warriors and Phoenix Lords when that seemed like exactly the kind of specialist unit that you'd want to use to sell Kill Team sets, but sure enough that is exactly what Games Workshop is poised to do.

We've already seen the spicy elf so the rest of his boys aren't much of a surprise. All of these kits have been incredibly faithful to the 2nd Edition sculpts and that remains the case with all three of the Aspects revealed today.

Swooping Hawks have probably benefitted the most from their long delay as the production team learned how best to make "in-flight" poses work for miniature that are very much subject to the laws of gravity. I have already heard some early grousing that people don't like the Asuryani ruins they're posed atop, and to those people I say get good at basing – there is literally nothing stopping you from pinning them to the battlefield detritus of your choice.

Warp Spiders are probably the most changed of the lot, if only because the switch to plastic enables the model to more accurately represent what it was trying to depict in the first place. It does a fantastic job of unscrunching the tiny, hunchbacked pewter models that were limited by the realities of centrifugal casting molten lead.

And of course, Phoenix Lords including for the first time Lhykis the Whispering Web, Phoenix Lord of the Warp Spiders. This has been a hole in the Eldar range since the '90s, so hopefully they make her introduction interesting in the codex.

tell me something about yourself

I am barely aware of what Taylor Swift looks like and if I met her I am 99.9% sure I would not recognise her. which I hope would piss her off enormously.

CAPTION: You are toying with people's hearts. We can't forgive you Meta Liberation Army!!

Too complicated to translate so I screen capped many of these.

The above drawing talks about how the three characters related to one another. There are aspects that make them similar.

Above making the assertion that Hawks could have been the villain and Touya the hero if their childhoods had been different.

The part where Dabi says, "I feel sad about the Apocryphal value of life." is a reference to Geten's Japanese name and how he believes life only has value if meta ability is strong, per MLA ideology.
