the philippine hanging-parrot is a small parrot species endemic to the philippines. they primarily inhabit moist tropical forest habitats, feeding on nectar and soft fruits such as figs. unlike most parrots, they are seldom found in large groups, and more commonly seen as an individual or in pairs. males and females can be distinguished by red feathers on the male’s chin or chest, which the female lacks (except in one subspecies, in which neither sex has red coloration there). they are also one of the only parrot species to gather nesting material; most parrot species nest in bare or sparsely lines tree cavities. while the species is currently considered ‘least concern’ by the IUCN, their population is in decline due to capture for the pet trade & habitat loss.

Blue-Crowned Hanging Parrot (Loriculus galgulus)
Family: Typical Parrot Family (Psittaculidae)
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
A tiny parrot with a distinctive blue spot on its head, the Blue-Crowned Hanging Parrot is named for its unusual sleeping habits; like other hanging parrots but unlike the vast majority of birds, members of this species sleep hanging down from branches with their heads tucked beneath their wings, seemingly mimicking leaves to avoid detection by nocturnal predators. Found mainly in damp forests across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand, Blue-Crowned Hanging Parrots feed mainly on fruits (although they may also eat seeds and flowers) and may travel alone, in pairs or in larger groups containing over 100 individuals depending on food availability and season. Between January and July flocks of Blue-Crowned Hanging Parrots split up into mating pairs, with males (which can be distinguished from females such as the individuals pictured above by their red throats and more colourful tailfeathers) attempting to court females by producing high-pitch calls, puffing up their red plumage and offering regurgitated food. After pairing up couples build their nests in tree cavities (carrying materials by tucking them under their wings,) with females laying clutches of 3-4 eggs which they incubate and protect while their mate provides them, and later their chicks, with food.

I feel like the real magic of Team TIES is that it has the energy of a bunch of watercooler funnyguys from your local IT company who spend their time doing backend for Fortune 500 companies found a loophole in the rules for their state college athletics championships that allowed them to compete.
Like, there's nothing in the rules that says grandpa can't do track and field, but they've squeezed their dad bods into spandex and are now blinking into the sun surrounded by fresh faced 20-somethings at their physical peak and they can feel their back pain start to flare up.

I do think Withers has a really subtle background character arc in bg3. Because at the start it is really clear he doesn't want to be here and he's being forced to clean up his mess by Helm and probably Ao. He doesn't really care either. Everything ends so nothing really matters, he'd like to go back to his paperwork now please.
Except he's stuck babysitting a bunch of traumatized dumbasses as they stumble into dealing with the most recent bad idea of his three fuck-up disappointments. So he brings them back when they die for a pittance, lets them pay for some vengeful ghosts to come back as flesh and blood to wreak bloody vengeance on the Absolute, and starts to... comment, on what's going on, as he follows them on their adventure.
Next thing you know Withers is like, doing things unprompted. He refuses to bring back Alfira (or Quil) but that's an act of compassion, keeping the poor girl from the Urge and letting her rest, his actual duty as a god of death. He tells Arabella to follow her destiny and does that thing to make her grief go away which honestly freaks me out but seems to be him trying to help her. He shows up at Moonrise and prompts us to consider why the Dead Three would want a bunch of soulless illithids that would give them no power, getting us to think of the big picture.
And by the end (especially if you do a resist!Durge playthrough) Withers is actively interfering and seems genuinely invested! He brings Durge back from the dead, free of their father! He encourages us before the final fight with the Netherbrain! He's real fucking smug that the Dead Three lost when he never seemed to care about the destruction they caused before! He throws a reunion party and many of his lines are genuinely touching or kind! Especially if a companion died permanently! He has tea with Gale's mom and Tara! He's like, socializing and shit! Yes, everything is temporary and we all die, but there's great beauty in fighting for that precious time and living it to the fullest!
Basically Wither's character arc is this meme, all because Helm made him go outside and touch grass.

#bg3#like... thematically the characters are bg3 are all struggling with mortal frailty and meaninglessness in the grand scheme of gods#several of them are on a ticking clock to immediate death. the tadpoles themselves are a death sentence. others are being actively#hunted by their abusers or will be drawn back into a life that's no real life at all or told to kill themselves or seen as nothing but#disposable pawns in the game of the gods to be used and discard as if nothing#or are destined for objectively shitty afterlives#and what do they do? they fight it! tooth and nail! and try to live their best life here and now! they form bonds and fall in love#and help strangers or each other and have fun even for only the moment and cling to life by their fingernails#while also accepting death could be tomorrow or next week or decades from now because we all die but that's no reason to lie#and meekly accept it because some god said so#they care! they all care SO SO MUCH ABOUT LIVING! even if its tempting to give in to the nihilism they all try so goddamn hard#even on evil routes there's something so deeply human and vulnerable to how it all comes from caring so deeply#about wanting to live and survive and be loved and safe#listen to Wither's lines about the companions if they died. especially Karlach. do you get it? they made the GOD OF DEATH#JERGEL HIMSELF! feel something about the beauty of the mortal life in all its fleeting incandescent glory!#but also I think it's just that Jergel needed to leave his sad little crypt more and talk to people other than kelemvor#and Helm accidentally made Jergel less terrible by forcing him to socialize with the mortals#it's like never leaving your room as a teenager. it makes you depressed and sad and full of despair like an understimulated parrot#and like is Wither's being more invested in the affairs in mortals necessarily a good thing? maybe. maybe not. but he clearly is#so good on him. I think more gods should hang out with mortals in non-worship contexts. might give them some perspective#just pretend to be some random helper NPC#and this is all especially poignant when we remember Jergel’s past as Neutral Evil and the genuinely horrible things he’s done

Of all the random headcanons I have I think the funniest is that after being away from Hermitcraft for so long, Welsknight wakes up in inactivity-limbo and Vort3xdragon is just there.
Wels is all 'this is Not season 9. Hmmmm' and just gets a heart attack from hearing 'Yo, wassup dawg' in the world's most chill teenager drawl ever. I think Vort3x would occasionally trauma dump late at limbo-night but Wels couldn't ever figure out if he was fucking with him or not. Wels brings up Moon Big and Vort3x is completely nonplussed "Huh, cool story bro. How did you use it in your trap?" and Wels is just going ??? where did he get trapping and killing from 'Moon Big'?

college-era arachkids halloween episode where everyone agrees to do stupid costumes, but they all barely have time to check in beforehand bc halloween is always when shit gets crazy for spidering. this leads to just enough misunderstandings and assumptions that miles shows up dressed as the will smith sunflower meme and is horrified when gwen and margo meet him in dumb edgy (but kind of amazing) wendy and tinkerbell outfits bc they saw green tights in one of his prep pics and inferred the rest. then hobie rocks up in the most bullshit thrown together yet still fucking awesome captain hook costume ('dude we said dumb costumes!!!' 'is hook not stupid?') and miles has to be dogpiled before he decides he's going as the invisible man, instead
