If I loved you and you loved me and we never realized it until the end, then maybe we loved in different languages and it was lost in translation.

Idk if this is useful to you yet, but I think it's funny so I'm gonna tell you what I found about bird courtship. It's not relevant for Powder since she's female (on the other hand, she could be a progressive bird?) but crows court by doing dramatic aerial maneuvers and dancing with a puffed up feather coat. And owls? Hoot. They hoot "vigorously", in the hopes it'll attract a female.
Ok, so I, too, had a giggle at this while I tried to figure out how this would work. Time to think on all things affection/courtship to seduction.
Bit more headcanon for now. May well play a role in the future.
They're human, so how would it translate? Human affection and bird impulse? It actually works quite nicely with the love languages/acts of affection they already do in this world.
affection/'courtship'
Powder/Jinx is in bird terms definitely progressive. The girl is practically addicted to the acrobatics of flying, little adrenaline junkie that she is.
It took her a moment to get there, deep seated insecurities held her back, but after that first dive, she never looked back.
She loves games, and they spent much of their childhood playing and still do. This is an extension. She likes to have fun, play together, and indulge in a bit of a rush. She likes to dazzle Ekko, and she knows she does, as he admitted as much just after their first kiss. And then, having him play and fly right along is something she loves. Owls apparently, too, have special courtship flights, so it doesn't take much to convince him.
The puffing up of her coat, oh yes. I mean, she has to show off all that wonderful blue to him, right? It works very well. He always has a compliment ready. Sometimes, it's in irritation that she puffs up. That works, too, though, as Ekko will usually stop what he's doing to smooth out her feathers. Either hands or beak are good in her book.
The hooting, how would that be shaped? Words, Ekko is good with words. He knows just how to turn up the charm, how to talk her down when she gets stuck, or panicked. Yes, he got trapped by his own thoughts when he wanted to confess, but everyones premitted their hiccups.
Powder had to learn to articulate better what she wanted at that time. Luckily, she had a good example. As for the actual hooting, she thinks the sound is lovely, something spooky and cute matches well with her vibe. If Powder is too preoccupied or occupied by other people, a hoot is all it will take to get her attention and get him a scratch.
As he gets older, as a human, songs will make their way into the vocabulary. As an owl, entire sets of hoots will join up. It's not quite a song, but it's beautiful non the less. Powder's at first is a little embarrassed but absolutely loves it and quickly starts humming along or as a crow her own gentle rattlling song.
Ekko also likes giving things, owls also give food, it doesn't take much to realise that Powder is easily distracted by her favourite snacks along with trinkets. He will on his way from Benzo's to the Last Drop pick up different or new snacks which she will quickly devourer (probably a good thing he thinks it's cute.) It has caused mild jealousy but these are exclusively for her.
For seduction:
The flying acrobatics is a rush and will often end with them tumbling together, beak jousting and tickle or play fights and kissing, and then tumbling into more. It's all laughter and urgent.
The words and songs or variations of hoots and her humming/rattling, and dancing along are slower, gentler. It's a game of sounds and touches. Accumulating in an embrace that leave them lost in the other and gasping.
Depends on the mood or who's taking charge
An extra
Mutual preening is something for both of them. As a human, they both have hair that needs care, and it very much becomes bonding moments for them. As bird, it becomes the default greeting action. Also, just touch in general, plenty of hugs, sitting on her lap as an owl, or she as a crow on either on his lap or on his shoulder (Powder has stolen his cuff multiple times from here.) And getting all the pets and scratches.
Powder also thinks Ekko's fingers are magic. She will only admit this much later, half dazed in sensation. He will never let her forget it or the ego boost that it was.

I would rather choke than deal with the heaviness on my heart. I feel imprisoned by devotion. Look how long this love can hold its breath.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.
#katniss everdeen#the hunger games trilogy#the hunger games#primrose everdeen#hunger games#batcavescolony reads the hunger games#suzanne collins#'now it seems i have become someone precious' NOW? GIRL BFFR you're their hunter girl#and this isn't negative just bffr girl#your WHOLE DISTRICT did the three finger salute that you yourself says means admiration thanks and goodbye to someone you love and on top is#old a rarely used. your WHOLE DISTRICT decided in that moment that they needed to bring back this sign of respect for YOU#...................................................................#idk why some people are thinking i mean this as negative i don't she is unreliable but its not intentional. like when Peeta heart stoped in#CF she doesn't know what Finnick is doing at first cus she doesn't know off the top of her head what cpr is. she also thinks Peeta after the#reaping is acting for the cameras. he isnt we dind out later his mom basically told him Katniss was gonna win and he would die. obviously#shes not doing it on purpose shes just for lack of better words uneducated? as in she doesn't know everything shes not omnipotent#so when Plutarch (? second games guy) shows her his mokingjay hiden watch shes like *wtf that's weird?* then the people traveling to#district 13 show her the mockingjay cookie and explains it and she then goes on the difference between his watch and their cookie#and why does eveyone act as if district 12 is as bad as the capital? they CANT help Katniss and Prim in the way you want. they cant give#them food. none of them have any! and im not putting iton Katniss but they hid they needed food so they could stay together. it sounds like#some of you are in this our world mentally of what people do after a loved one dies (brings food constantly checks on them etc) district 12#cant do that. they dont have food and they're all suffering. you cant give someone food when you have none to give. then theirs the fact#that peeta DID help. Peeta buring the bread and tossing some to her then taking a beating from his mom is a HUGE thing in the books.#he used his resources to help her like you all said someone should.#district 12 DID (rip) care about Katniss before the hunger games. why do you think she was allowed to hunt? or how her trades were good#these are the little ways 12 can shows Katniss they love her. but again Katniss doesn't see this and YES its because she had ptsd before the#hunger games as well. i swear some of you make it seem like d12 was all living a life of luxury and glaring down at Katniss.#other things that show Katniss is in hight standing with at least her people of d12 is her dad was known enough through d12 for peeta dad to#comment on his singing along with his commenting on her mom. also her mom is a healer in the community. yeah her parents arnt the top but#of d12 but they are/were definitely high staning in the Seam.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt
#talk tag#IT KILLS ME. REIGEN IS NOT MOB'S DAD. HE HAS A DAD. INGO IS NOT AKARI'S DAD. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN ANYONE HEAR ME#(not even necessarily to say that ingo is in his late 20s but still)#(even if he was a 30-40-50 year old no matter how old he is no fucking teenager is gonna call some guy they met as a 15 year old ''dad'')#GAI IS NOT A FATHER FIGURE TO ROCK LEE HE WAS LIKE 13 WHEN HE WAS BORN! PLEASE!!!!!!!!#one time i saw that a person wrote a fic where mario was like a father figure to luigi.#they are TWIN BROTHERS.#not what this about but idk where else i can say anything about this.#just horrible#also sometimes someone is just An Older Friend like no familial relationship just a friend or acquaintance who is a lot older than you

Listen man, you guys can't be like "you guys need to be normal about asexuality" and then turn around and get weirdly judgemental when you find out someone doesn't have sex by choice. Like that's weird that some of you do that.
#like I love sex im glad we're hyping it up#but also genuinely some of you have got to learn how to be normal around people who dont want to have sex#even if you're not talking about asexuality when you say stuff like that you're still being a weirdass#im not ace myself but i keep seeing posts that come across like they're taking it personally that other people don't want to have sex#it sounds like theyre trying to prove something to someone

listen I know it's heartbreaking that Claudia dies and it's understandable to wish she didn't, but let's please not accuse the writers of fridging her. to do so is a fundamental misunderstanding of the story and is frankly insulting to the intelligence and skill of the writers of the show.
Claudia's death, and the overwhelming grief and regret her parents experience because of it, is quite literally the point of the entire story. she dies because Anne's daughter Michele died of leukemia when she was five years old and there was nothing she or her husband could do to prevent it.
writing IWTV was how Anne coped with the unimaginable loss of a parent losing her child. she created a story about a little girl that could not die and then killed her anyway. Claudia's death is a senseless, unavoidable tragedy, just like Michele's was. the grief that haunts Louis and Lestat for the rest of their lives is the same grief that haunted Anne and her husband.
so when you're accusing people of killing Claudia off to benefit a story about two men, please remember that in real life sometimes parents lose their children. please remember Michele Rice.
she's the reason Claudia exists.
she's also the reason Claudia cannot be saved.
#interview with the vampire#claudia de lioncourt#iwtv#lestat de lioncourt#louis de pointe du lac#saw some rancid takes on twitter and i just can't not say something#like how do you encounter a story so clearly about the fathomless grief that comes with losing a child and blaming your partner and yoursel#and somehow finding a way to live again after years and years of suffering--not forgetting NEVER forgetting--but living and loving again#and go 'the writers just hate women. claudia should never have died'#like you're right that Claudia shouldn't have died. Michele shouldn't have died either.#but she did. and so Claudia did. and her parents will never stop grieving her.#iwtv spoilers

Hey now, Let her cook!
#dungeon meshi#chilchuck tims#senshi#laios touden#marcille donato#izutsumi#oyasumi punpun#<- In case you are wondering what the source for the little bird guy is.#Yeah that's right. I'm back to my extremely obscure crossover BS.#Punpun is one of those series that falls under the category of 'Good! but I cannot responsibly recommend this to anyone."#If Dungeon Meshi is like a friend asking you to go on a quick errand and you accidently go on a life changing roadtrip -#Punpun is your friend asking to go on a quick errand and they pull up to the vet and tell you your dog is being put down.#Then they explode into sludge. Melting your car. You hitchhike back but the person who picked you up is an axe murderer.#I could not finish it. My friends who did say it was good. But agree it was for the best I did not finish it.#Hey speaking of tone twists...We are one episode away from one of my favourite chapters being animated!#WHO'S READY FOR THE SENSHI BACKSTORY! WHO IS READY TO CRY!#ME! I AM! I spooked my flatmate with how energetic I was this morning. I'm vibrating with energy I was not designed to contain.#I should talk about today's episode here: It was very good. I love how they animated the familiars.#And!!! Anime only people now are in the loop on the Chilchuck lore. Part 1 of many. He still contains multitudes.#They all do to be honest! If this episode told us anything it was that we still don't know these characters as well as we think!#See you guys next week. I'll be inconsolable.
