#haha wing like the vulture

[spyderschaos]

Today I bring doodles for I just finished my first two finals

[bochedogmeat]

I hit chilchuck with harpyfication beam for 500 mana and blow him into one million pieces. Drivel below vv

I think chilchuck is some kind of likeeee wren? Chickadee maybe? Maybe even a cardinal? Some kind of small songbird, i just wanted him to have some kind of warm-colored wing with white speckles (my lazy ass did NOT use a reference for these shitty little doodles but if I ever end up making solid refs for them I’ll do more research), I thought about maybe hummingbird wings butttt idk I couldnt get the shape right and I wanted him to have more of a traditional harpy look. I combined elements from my harpies (wings and arms, jewelry/piercings, feathered tails) and canon harpies (FEATHER TIT WINDOW‼️ kind of feral, sharp teeth, etc) and kind of mashed them up. I TOTALLY FORGOT to give him jewelry on his arms and stuff but maybe I’ll go back to that laterrr idk like i said these r quick shitty doodles. So i guess hes kind of half harpy. I was like MANNNN wouldnt it be funny if he got his soul fucked up and had to navigate the rest of his life as a chimera. Lol. What if he had to relearn how to be human. What if laios had to teach him. Haha would that be fucked up or what. He could have also just been like that when they first met him and that would be cool too i think. What about the Implications??? Are his wings sensitive? What abt his tail? Are his senses even sharper?? Does this change his diet? Are his taloned hands still clever enough to pick locks? THEN i started thinking about the others…. Laios n Falin r some kind of owl. Snowy owl probably their northern asses but I also like the idea of them being some kind of seabird. Big ole albatross Touden sibs. Senshi is probably also sone kind of owl, maybe even some kind of chicken? Vulture might also be cool. Marcille is definitely a duck or swan tho (GASP unless SHES the hummingbird!! I will come back to this later). Izutsumi is already a cat, but if she had wings too shed be a corvid of some sort fo sho. Idk about yhe others because I cannot lie to u idgaf about them. ANYWAYS i love to talk about wings and harpies and how that affects team and overall social dynamics so if anyone has anything to add please do‼️

Hello once again Thunder 👋

Could you possibly doodle my lil gremlin thing, Copycat? They kill other creatures and use said creatures body parts to aid them in surviving (more than just vulture masks, I'm talking vulture wings, using lizard skin to look like a lizor, etc (they've even pretended to be an iterator at one point))

Refrance images (I know, there's quite a lot lol) 👇

The campaign I'm imagining in my head would take place maybe post-Saint (haha no iterators 4 them >:3)

Also, there's a chance they were iterator-made so.. lore maybe? Who knows..

Anyways, I hope you are having an amazing day and continue having amazing days forever because you deserve nothing less than amazing days forever. And ofc, you don't have to draw the lil gremlin thing if you don't want to :3

They are about to sneak into a yellow lizard den and steal a bunch of slime mold >:3

I don't have a color pencil for their fur color tho

[forlorn-crows]

Crow!

I have a question...questions? Request? Maybe a little bit of both...?

I am a (relative) newcomer to the fandom, I've been hyper-focused on Ghost for the last year and my heart's completely, irreparably and quite blissfully gone on all of the Era IV Ghouls (Phantom and Aurora included), but, in particular, on our beloved Earth Ghoul Mountain (Mmmmmountain...💕)

HOWEVER, recently, I've begun trying to learn more about the previous era's Ghouls, and although I already have a growing appreciation for Omega, there's another that I find myself circling back to again and again and again...

...Zephyr.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a distressingly small amount of information on him in terms of HC's and fandom lore which really does make it harder to get a feel for his character and personality, so, I was wondering if you could help with that.

How do you see him in your head?

What is he like?

Who is he to you?

Please help me add a tenth Ghoul to the nine I already love...

hi, welcome!

ive got lots of headcanons about them so i'd love to go through some of those for you. i'll drop some great zephyr photos first and then we'll continue under the cut :3

firstly, i cant tell you where the name zephyr originated. maybe fanfiction or other fan circles. zephyr is more commonly known as "chAir", because they were almost always sitting down to play. sort of like cowbell is named after the instrument he appeared for two seconds to play lmao

you'll notice i use they/them pronouns for zeph. thats something i picked up from @gayrickgrimes when i first started interacting more with ghost fanfic. but lots of people also use he/him. not sure why nonbinary zeph has really stuck with me since then, but i quite enjoy it!

i would say the most commonly shared headcanons about zephyr are as follows:

older in age, like omega or alpha often are portrayed

has chronic back and/or joint pain (there's lots of clips of them walking off stage holding their back, thus the headcanon)

has light or white hair, commonly portrayed as longish and wavy.

reserved. maybe a little "old mannish" at times. less spontaneous than other ghouls.

however! they like groovin' on stage. can be seen doing some wiggles during their keytar solo or jamming out on their stool.

some artistic portrayals i love are @endopyre's, @turbodrawn's, and @kamonart's :3 also for a portrayal that doesnt necessarily fit those 'common' appearance hc's above is @joeynihil's zeph, whom i LOVEEE.

i also love @divine-misfortune's depictions of them, but i have indeed given void the zephyr brainrot soooo....oopsies sorry not sorry.

so, now onto the things i specifically headcanon about zephyr. i dont know if youve read any of my ficlets with them yet, but i do have a few! generally, i hc pretty similar to the above bullet points. some other thoughts i have are as follows:

i think zeph has a more antiquated way of speaking. doesnt use a lot of slang or 'modern' words. is very precise, refined in the way that they speak.

very amicable with and well-loved by their pack (aether, ifrit, dew, mountain).

has an 'air' about them, if you will (pardon the pun haha). some may say its too much like they're looking down their nose at you, but i think they're clever, smooth, and teasing in equal measure. has a way with words, in more ways than one.

they really do like to have fun on stage, and i think they like to 'let loose' a little bit that way. that ghoul can groove and move when they want to! and i do enjoy watching ritual footage of them, would recommend <3

not sure if you're interested in unglamoured hc's, but i think they turn very gangly, resembling something like a vulture or other long-legged birds. taloned feet and hands. hocked legs. feathers sticking out behind their ears and tattered, crooked wings. bright eyes that glow in the dark and can see for miles. razor sharp teeth. literally terrifying if you catch them peering at you from high in the trees.

likes when the others offer to help with their back pains. ifrit with his warm hands. aether with his quintessence. maybe mountain with weed or dew taking them to the lake to take some weight of their joints. always very kind, thankful in return.

i think the abbey has a chapel with an organ that zeph likes to play. i think that's what they learned on originally, and transferred that knowledge to the keyboard. when they retired from the band they still enjoyed playing for midnight mass or special occasions.

lastly, i think zeph is a quiet dom. very controlled of a ghoul in normal situations, but very good at controlling and directing others. has a silver tongue and can absolutely take mountain down to studs with just words. i have many feelings about mountzeph in general, and how their dynamic works, which ive explored a little bit. but in general, i think zeph likes to have that control, either because they have pain that doesnt allow them the freedom to explore certain pleasures, and/or because thats what they like. its natural and fun for them. and its certainly fun for everyone else involved lmao. i just think of them as a very elegant ghoul in all aspects of their life.

all in all, im very fond of zephyr as a character, at least how i see them in my head and how i've seen them portrayed by others thus far! hopefully that can serve as some inspiration for you in 'getting to know' this air ghoul :3

[violetlunette]

Heyo!

Idk if you do chats and yaps

Or asks etc

But that one post you made got me thinking a lil lol. Thinking about how Vil's two vultures fit in. I think they're like rook in that they mean well and they have their quirks and passions but they freak people out haha! Anyways yeah I'm also thinking how they would fit in to that! I know that birdbeastmen are canon (they're just not common) and i know some folks defo make different types- like harpies and winged students etc- plus there's canonically mentions of "monsters" that are also just sentient creatures that deviate from the humanoid body plan. Plus Taking into account how faes were once considered monsters to be hunted, i think it would not be too much of a stretch to add on harpy like students lol. So Vil can totally have his spooky sillies who hang out in the air currents and swoop down to try and either hang out/uplift vil. Vil nags them about it- same way with Rook- but he also doesn't shoo them away and makes sure they're in tip top form. I kinda wonder how they would fit into the pomefamily. Probably the crazy cousins/chaos uncles to Epel. Rook loves them and i just know they all geek out about weird stuff lol

Anyways yeah i love your thoughts

Sorry, it took so long to respond! I got up in other projects! ^^;

Anyway, when I made the post I imagined the sidekicks in their original forms, though I do have my own TWST OCs based off them. (I won’t bore people with details.) Like, in Vil’s case I imagined him with actual pet vultures who he’ll randomly see watching from a window while he’s in class.

That said, it’s fun to imagine TWST version of the spooky vultures in Pomefiore, the house famed for beauty, as they’re an interesting contrast to the projected image. I think they would be gothics who showed the beauty in darkness, something harpies would know very well according to myths.

Like you hinted on, their presence as harpies or bird folk would present some interesting world building. (Something we don't get a lot of in the games.)

Anyway, I'm glad my little post inspired your little imagination train!

[tinylongwing]

top five birdiest locations you've been to?

Oooh good question! I don't have like, hard numbers on these so they're not super well ranked except for by vibes.

First is NE Queensland, Australia. I did a semester abroad there in undergrad and my god the sheer number of new birds all around! I saw so many absolute treasures! From birds of paradise like Victoria's Riflebird, to absolute icons like the Galah and the Southern Cassowary. 10/10 bird destination.

Second I'll put southern Nicaragua. All the diversity of Costa Rica, with birds like Scarlet Macaw, King Vulture, and Keel-billed Toucan. Hundreds of amazing species. Absolutely unforgettable. I'm so thankful that I've been able to work there on and off over the years. I've traveled most of the country but the southern portion has the highest bird diversity from what I've found.

Third, let's go the US Southeast. I think generally it's accepted that this has the highest bird diversity in the US. I've spent plenty of time in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Florida and seen so many excellent birds there! Florida in particular gets a special mention for endemic treasures like the Florida Scrub-Jay.

Fourth is just a smidge to the west over in Texas, particularly the portion along the whole Rio Grande. Highlights for me include Whooping Crane, Aplomado Falcon, and all three US kingfisher species! Plus Plain Chachalaca which is just hilariously noisy. Big fan.

For five... Man now it's hard to pick, I have several places sort of on par with each other. Hawaii is goofy because of all the introduced species, giving it a ridiculously inflated diversity on top of the absolutely amazing native species. South Korea was really fun, though I went in winter when diversity was relatively low, and still got to see fun birds like Azure-winged Magpie, Eurasian Goshawk, and Varied Tit without even leaving Seoul. And then of course like, California has a ton of species and some of the most incredible vagrants that just show up at random sometimes.

I think that's eight locations now so I'll just stop, haha.

[coalitiongirl]

Oh my god, I just read Markless and I love it so much! The characters, the mark system, the SCENERY— AGGGHHHHHH. So excited for you and sending so much love <3 And the dedication… 😭♥️🫶

I’m wondering if you can explain what some of the gods are! I think I got leopard, snake, and lion, but I wasn’t sure about some of the others like Winged One, Scaled One, Toothed One, Horned One etc :) Was it bird, fish, shark, and I had no clue for Horned One (not a big animal person haha). I wasn’t confident about it being just “bird” or “fish” because I didn’t know if you had something more specific in mind like heron/raven hehehehehe

Thank you!!! I'm so so happy <3

I had so much fun with the names of the spirits ngl. I'm actually trying to remember if I ever explicitly made it clear what the Winged One would be– it was either hawk or vulture because I contemplated both. The Scaled One was the crocodile, the Toothed One the hippo, and the Horned One was the owl!

🦇SOME ARE BORN TO THE ENDLESS NIGHT🦇

The last piece in this series!! I love watching the bats fly about in the summer, they're just so neat and cute!! I drew this one on the back of the failed possum piece I mentioned in my vulture post haha

leaning on calling this series "The Cycle" but I may workshop it a little, maybe incorporate something with the song titles in, but I'm not so sure yet. This was a fun project though, so hope y'all enjoyed it as much as I have!! :D

I have a few ideas for more series in the works, and want to resurrect some old ones too, I feel like sticking to something with consistency can be good for me, but for now I've got a few WIPS that need a little polish :)

[ID: A hand holding a black and white illustration on tan paper with uneven edges. behind it is a white tapestry with a pattern made up of illustrated green leaves, slightly out of focus. The illustration is a large brown bat head drawn in black and white ink, looking down and to its left in 3/4 view. All the details and the eye are sketched in with white, the inner ear is left mostly tan, and the illustration itself sits within a white circle. the bat's mouth is open, showing it's teeth, and the ends of the wings are folded up at its sides. The illustration crops at the base of the neck, its ears, neck fur, and the clawed ends of its folded up wings overlap the shape. There is a larger circle surrounding the head, filled with vines with aster flowers, stylized leaves, and blue foot mushrooms. Most of the plants and fungi are colored in black, but some are just a white outline. Some plant material breaks out from a larger circle behind them and the shad drawing, Over top of the plants and fungi are radiating out from the center of the fish head are sketchy white lines. the paper is thin, and has a slight scaled pattern to it.

Image 2: cropped version of the previously described illustration. the photo goes to the edges of the page, and the illustration is centered. the radial lines on the top and bottom of the page are slightly cropped.

Image 3: Crop on the bat's face, details in the white ink becoming more apparent. The image crops right after the end of the snout, the beginnings of both ears, and just short of the neck

Image 4: Crop focusing on the plants and fungi, along with the bat's left ear. it crops midway through the eye, the right, closest ear, and features the top right quarter of the illustration. /end ID]

Armoured Brass (wings included!!)

Shout out to the Au me and my friends are making on the side to kickstart this design, this is Brass when he gets a little too much magic >:D

Another idea is that Lena or Magica tries to cast a spell on him but because Brass did some magic last second he turns into Harpy Brass, overwhelmed by magic! And he’s looking more like a vulture now! With the sharp talons and yellow eyes to match Bradfords!

OH plus long hair and ofc the obvious vulture wings on his back haha

[reinekes-fox]

Hey again! I was wondering how much freedom will we have to progressively change our MC's stance about the cult? My MC is loyal and believes in their ideals at the start, but he isn't fanatic or anything, and basically thinks some things are up to interpretation. Like for example he considers vultures are still ultimately birds and he doesn't feel too bad for his orientation and stuff like that. But ideally, I'd love for him to realize while in contact with the "strays" that up until now he wasn't truly living his life - that it's no way to live, basically.

So yeah, just how much will it be possible to make it a progressive thing? And how much will characters comment on the change, rather than just commenting on MC's new mindset without necessarily referencing it wasn't like that before?

Does this even make sense? I don't know if I was clear heh... Anyway, thank you!

Thank you for the question!

Yes, this does make sense no worry haha!

I am planning to write reactions to changes in the belief, however how detailed they will be is something I will think about when it occurs ingame.

I.e. I am tracking three stats directly tied with the faith: devotion, doubt and meh aka not caring. (However doubt will be viewed more as a „cares so much about the belief that Wing MC wants to better it“ rn and it will take some time for characters to realise that nope, Wing MC is actually anti cult) And if there is an option for a devout answer while Wing MC has so far never really cared about their faith (let’s say „meh“ is at 90) than the cast will react to it!

While I do plan to add things like „actually Wing MC used to be a fanatic but is now anti“ (just like mother dearest), I think the best way to do those kind of commentary isn’t tracking stats.

[fellhellion]

Hi! What are your thoughts on Miguel's abilities shown in the movie so far? That vulture wing cutting is cool as hell but arm blades seemed kinda overkill? He already has home-grown knives on his hands and feet, and I think him slicing the wing off with his hands would be just as cool. Also I read somewhere that his webbing is ATSV is tech-based instead of organic, but (to me) the organic webbing was one of his more signature abilities (and I think him accidentally spraying webbing when not in costume in the comics is really funny)

hiya! im personally a fan of the red blades because im just a basic bitch for how they look fskjdfhjkds i see some cool looking shit and my brain lights up lmao. and yeah i've seen the same thing about the tech based webs. personally a bit bummed if they have ended up completely doing away w his organic webbing as i think it's supposed to be one of his really unique traits compared to other spideys :( the red webs are extremely cool and i like their look but eh, until confirmed otherwise i'm pretending he's using the red webs to not think so much about. the intrinsic bodily change of it all haha.

54/?? Childhood TV Shows You Should Watch

Title: Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines

Episodes: 17

Run Time: 22 Mins

Synopsis:

In Germany, Dick Dastardly and Muttley, the villains from Wacky Races, are now flying aces in World War I-styled airplanes and members of the Vulture Squadron, on a mission to stop a messenger pigeon named Yankee Doodle Pigeon from delivering top-secret messages to an opposing army. The other members of the Squadron are Klunk, an inventor who speaks an unintelligible language, and Zilly, a panicky pilot whose main role is to translate for Klunk.

Each story features variations on the same plot elements: the Vulture Squadron sets out to trap Yankee Doodle Pigeon. Inevitably, either the plan is flawed, or one or more of the Squadron messes up. By the end of every story, Yankee Doodle Pigeon escapes while the Vulture Squadron is often left in backfiring predicaments.

The show also featured Wing Dings, short clips with jokes, and Magnificent Muttley, where Muttley encounters Walter Mitty-esque daydreams.

My Rating: 8/10

To be honest, I don't quite like this spin-off as much as the Wacky Races itself. It's not that it's bad at all, but there just aren't as many characters or dynamics between characters. So, I guess, in that way, it's not as entertaining to me.

I still love Muttley the most haha. I do like the concept, but it seems like it could have been fleshed out a little bit more. (off-topic: but does anyone else not like that word "flesh" haha)

Anyway, I do believe you would enjoy it. Especially if you like Wacky Races. So, check it out.

Proud to announce that I spotted 60.5 species of birds in my week trip to Florida (copied-and-pasted from my Big Year google doc, so the FA stands for Florida):

Marsh wren FA

Limpkin FA

Great white heron FA

Cattle egret FA

Anhinga FA

Snowy egret FA

Great blue heron FA

Black-crowned night heron FA *was on a boardwalk trail and saw a bunch of people crouching down and looking at something and I thought they saw another gator (on this trip we saw 32 gators in total) but it was something better! A bird! And then I saw another one the next day hiding under brush.

Wood stork FA

Common moorhen FA

Blue-gray gnatcatcher FA

Turkey vulture FA *was looking for wild turkeys and unfortunately didn't see any this trip but one of these guys was stalking on the side of the rode and for a second we got exciting thinking it was an actual turkey.

Black vulture FA

Yellow-rumped warbler FA

Tufted titmouse FA *my grandma's favourite bird

Little blue heron FA

White ibis FA *we were ambushed by them because people at the park would feed them so they expected us to feed them but we wouldn't so they just surrounded us and we thought they would attack us but they didn't.

Cooper's hawk FA

Cardinal FA

Green heron FA *my grandpa was walking a little ahead of me and whispered for me to come and there was this gorgeous green fishing. Moved so slowly and gently that he didn't make a sound, it was incredible.

Carolina warbler FA

Pine warbler FA

Sandhill crane FA

Carolina chickadee FA

Bluejay FA

Osprey FA

Chimney swift FA

Red-tailed hawk FA *saw this lovely lady perched on a fence as we drove out of my grandparents' neighbourhood

Prairie warbler FA

American kestrel FA

Glossy ibis FA

Pied-billed grebe FA

Double-crested cormorant FA

Grey kingbird FA

Brown pelican FA *we weren't anywhere near the ocean but a storm was likely brewing and huge flocks of brown pelicans and white pelicans flew inland

Fish crow FA

Royal tern FA

Bald eagle FA

Painted bunting FA *didn't think I'd see one this trip because the nature garden we went to last year that had a lot of birds, including the painted bunting we saw last year, had too many people this time around so there weren't many birds. But then I saw a painted bunting at a different trail and literally forgot to be quiet and freaked out.

American white pelican FA

Common grackle FA

Boat-tailed grackle FA *did you know that these grackles make a clicking sound when they see humans or predators that sounds like a turkey gobble sound? I didn't until these guys wouldn't stop yelling at my while I was just trying to rest my legs on a bench.

American purple gallinule FA *gorgeous birds. gorgeous.

American coot FA

Brown-headed cowbird FA

Tricolored heron FA

Mallard FA

Black-bellied whistling duck FA

Eastern kingbird FA

Yellow-billed cuckoo FA

Muscovy duck FA

American bittern FA *my grandma and I saw this one and at first thought it was a green heron but then realized it wasn't haha.

Ring-billed gull FA

Feral American Pekin FA

Mallard-Pekin hybrid FA *spent so much time trying to identify these weird ducks until I went on my laptop later that evening and read up way too much on duck genetics and realized that they were hybrids. They were probably second-generation hybrids from my brief scan of pedigree charts of ducks, meaning their grandparents were a mallard and a pekin, but their parents were a hybrid and a pekin.

Eastern bluebird FA

Yellow-bellied sapsucker FA *went to a park my grandparents recommended and there weren't really any new birds there and my legs hurt from walking but then I heard this guy tapping around in a tree and there he was. Still wouldn't recommend this park.

Red-winged blackbird FA *was complaining to my grandpa that I hadn't seen any red-winged blackbirds yet and my trip was almost over when a bunch of these guys literally flew down in front of us.

White-eyed vireo FA

Mottled duck FA

Broad-winged hawk FA *saw this guy as my plane was literally taxiing out of the runway to go home. I was looking out my window cause I was nervous and there he was! Just perched on a sign!

qhy do you hate morando?

There's just so little personality to him beyond 'Evil Meanie.'

He and Gunmar kill thier own guys. But when Gunmar does it, it's a loss of Temper, he's out of control, losing it.

When Morando does it, he's just 'haha heeehee you're of no use to me.'

It's not the Morando is BAD I just wish we would've gotten more out of him. I also think its a fucking SIN they wrote him as being responsible for the massacre of Varvatos family instead of DARING to allow the heros parents to be politcally grey. He's not a bad character, he was just written badly.

Russian citizens on tumblr aren’t the enemy.

Putin is the enemy.

Corrupt people in power are the enemy.

You do NOT go into the fandom blogs of people who happen to be Russian and tell them you can’t be friends with them anymore simply because they’re Russian.

The Citizens don’t get a say in this. Or a voice. The people we share fandoms with aren’t to blame for this, and I know. I know it hurts to see Ukraine suffering, I know we feel powerless to help, so we lash out. We lash out at people we see as the enemy because it drives us crazy that we can’t do anything. That the world feels so out of control. 

But Ukraine will prevail. Good will Prevail.

And punishing Russian tumblr-users is just punching down. Russian artists have been cut off from paypal, from accurate news, they’re scared and they aren’t hurting anyone. They’re still our friends. Support Ukraine. Stand with Ukraine!

But do not treat our friends and artists badly because of their nationality.

My #1 post of 2022

Some of Stricklander’s ‘monstrous’ characteristics that don’t get discussed enough. Thing’s he’s absolutely noticed and might be self-conscious about.

-His mouth is actually just a bit larger than it should be, it goes up too high in the corners when he’s aggressively smiling.

-His arms are longer than average, long limbs are often associated with cryptids and monsters, such as Wendigo, The Rake, ect

-Yellow eyes and slitted pupils. Good guys don’t have snake eyes. ‘yellow’ is not a ‘good’ color. Poetry is not written about yellow eyes. And nothing with pupils like that is seen as decent or honest.

-Fangs. He can’t cover them completely with his lips. They aren’t the elegant incisors of a vampire or incubus, they are tearing, rending teeth of a carnivore.

-Wings. While I’m sure he loves his wings, does he ever with they had a few lines of silken fur, to soften the ruggedness? Does he ever imagine himself in steel-gray feathers, instead of the leathery look of a vulture troll?

Just, all the things we find beautiful. Does he accept them, or do they give him dysphoria, does he recognize the face in the mirror when it isn’t Walter’s?

Tumblr Now

://INITIATE_GREETING Alright so Tumblr. The Tumblr. That one. The one that bad people thought was the antichrist itself in 2015. In my and others' effort to have actual plan Bs in case of Twitter doing what we think Twitter is going to do we're coming here despite the memes of keeping us out.

I suppose that I should open by saying that I have a pet peeve for superhero and urban fantasy shows to such an extent that they are the bad guys in my self-insert lore.

Now that I have torpedoed my attempts to gain a following on this site I should say that I actually remember liking it here. Getting all the formatting stuff right is going to be a little adventure on my part but hey I did some coding stuff in Uni (I did not finish Uni). The only real reason I never made an account here is because, well, exactly the time I would have made an account happened to align with, you know, that time where a lot of the people I would have been following were banned for posting lewd stuff. I understand they have reigned that back and allow it if it's properly tagged- which it should be- but I'm gonna have to comb the fine print there before I push it.

I will confess that at this point my knowledge of the state of this site is vague to the extent that I'm mostly here to follow people who went here before other places, especially considering I seem to be the sole VTweeter that is not on Insta or Tiktok. In fact, as most of my output is art, I may end up frequenting art sites more often. In fact, I was met with decent traction on my backup acct immediately.

On DeviantArt.

Like a week before they did their shit.

Yeah it's probs Newgrounds now even if I'm not quite doing numbers there yet. But I'm likely to crosspost everywhere when possible. This may end up partially replacing my current Wix blog if I can get it to display info in the encyclopedic format I want for the sake of loreposting.

There'll be a better intro later- this is me getting my bearings and asking for help with that from friends. Tumblr is my most likely outright replacement for Twitter once I learn due to it having a similar capacity for being able to scream into the void and have your friends say "lol" beneath it, even if at a glance Newgrounds is my more likely portfolio site and Wix is gonna be where a lot of long-form posts end up. Will twitter collapse? Well one of my friends, who is a mushroom, she is cool, thinks not- that the businesses that rely on Twitter will be waiting like vultures to pick it up if Elon steps down. This makes sense- the brands all find value in Twitter because it's popular. It's a feedback loop they exploit for outreach.

But Elon does not make sense.

Why did he launch a car into space? It was because it was an easy way to get haha funny internet points. Why did he buy Twitter? And why might he, I believe to be in the cards, destroy Twitter, out of spite, at his own loss?

It's not like I'm sitting here weeping, the follower grind I had to where I'm at aside. Like I'm at 282 last I checked, that's pretty nice, and I hope my regulars are checking my new sites. I don't think Twitter was some sacred grounds as a lot of strawmen are painted. It was just convenient and cool people are there. Were there. Half expecting it to be gone when I tab back over just out of sheer jinxing lol. I really should have done all this earlier. Got pretty complacent with the idea that the situation had stabilized. Alas, Society.

I am, as with all sites I am spreading my high-aspect-ratio membranous wings into, eager to check this out and meet new people. I just hope I don't have to start from zero.

You can't just casually drop masterpieces around you know! The world is not ready! 🫶✨️

Gosh that vulture is fantastic! The way her wings spread all over him and protects him! And those colors! 👏🔥🙌 it was a great idea to use a lesser known bird for her bird form! So many creatures to choose from! It looks ominous and yet hell no it is sweetheart protecting him! And man I love Caleb sleeping like an old school cowboy or bounty hunter hahahaha I love the hat man! That hat is everything! Haha and of course fluffy Caleb again hahaha 😆

Oh man that cloth she is wearing! Man that royal crimson/purple and the long clothing that is still soft and comfortable that is so her! And all the golden details in her clothing! ✨️ oh gosh! And of course Caleb's twiterpated look hahaha oh gosh he thinks he is dreaming! And gosh she is caught hahahaha she is a powerful immortal goddess and the cheesy boy got her hahahaha 😆 😂 💕

Gosh details like the rain drops are amazing! Or her bronze skin and muscles as opposing to his olive complexion and the way he looks at her oh gosh! Hahaha ❤️ silly duo can never have enough of them hahaha 😆 😂 🤣 I love your little text there dear! 💕 it soooo fits them!

More Mythology AU✨ Caleb sleeps as Goddess Dilla (shifting between her bird and human form) shelters him from the rain. ❤️

As he stirs awake his eyes widen in wonder, captivated by the ethereal being before him. Without thinking his hand reaches out to touch her, desperate to know if she’s real.

In that tender, fleeting moment, Dilla's heart races. This mortal, with his simple gesture, awakens a feeling deep within her, something she has never known in her long, lonely existence.
