#lets talk about birds

People think Lord Debling is boring, but as someone who is in love with and fascinated by the same things, he'd be the perfect person to info dump with. Then he'd leave me alone for three years and let me live my life and study my own interests deeper? He's perfect.

hc thinking about Chuuya being that nonchalant friend who never really talks about if he's having a hard time or if he just went through some rough shit so whenever Shirase calls to catch up he's just baffled as hell

Shirase: so i ordered a large fried rice and the delivery guy brought me a MEDIUM Chuuya: that's unacceptable Shirase: i know right? btw bro ur eye bags are looking a lil dark Chuuya: yeah busy day yesterday. a dragon attacked the city so i had to handle that Shirase: Shirase: excuse me? Chuuya: so did they refund u the difference for the rice Shirase: no no no. PAUSE go back wdym DRAGON? Chuuya: there was a dragon. i got called in and i also owed the guy so i just handled it. it's fine i just need some sleep. btw u should stop eating so much takeout and just learn to cook Shirase: what goes on

Shirase: kinda annoyed today like the bus was 20min late. i should really get a car Chuuya: do u even have ur license Shirase : that's not important rn. do u have any recs since ur car's nice Chuuya: i guess it was nice Shirase: wdym "was"? did u upgrade Chuuya: no it blew up Shirase: what Chuuya: it's gone Shirase: HOW did BLOW UP???? Chuuya: no idea. but seriously u should look into getting a license before driving around bc what are u gonna do if u get caught

Shirase: lemme tell u the craziest thing happened yesterday. bumped into this girl at a cafe and we got to talking and guess what? she knows yuan! Chuuya: really? Shirase: yeah i wanted to tell u yesterday but u didn't call me back Chuuya: sorry i got trapped in some guy's book Shirase: Shirase: huh Chuuya: it was some mystery novel with a bunch of killers. i just fought everybody to get out so it's chill Shirase: what are u talking about Chuuya: enough about me tho. so how's yuan doing

basically it’s always Shirase just asking why Chuuya didn’t tell him about these crazy events and Chuuya’s just like “I don’t like making a big deal out of things. I don’t think it’s that serious” and Shirase is like YES IT IS???

i HATE being a young justice fan with a burning passion sometimes, these silly lil guys, these dumb dumb idiots take up all my free time, just thinking about them. HOWEVER I DARE BRING THEM UP IRL? NO! why? because literally NO ONE around me knows who they are and I have to be like 'ha ha! isn't that just funny, anyways!' as if i'm not dying inside Because i NEED to talk about my beloved lil squishy and i CAN'T

Sjm had the chance to show us that something was happening between vassa and lucien when cassian visited them in acosf but instead we got jurian teasing vassa and lucien literally playing third wheel.Sjm could’ve veryyy easily made it so lucien was the one doing the teasing but she didn’t.She had her shot and she most definitely did not shoot it.Not a single indication of vassien in that scene,just proof of what lucien has been telling us since acofas—vassa and jurian want to smash 🤷.

hi! newish follower here so idk maybe you've already answered here haha but do you have any hobbies outside of fic/fandom that you want to yap about? :)

Ahh welcome, and thank you for asking ♥️ I haven't answered this before actually, but I suddenly feel like I've never had a hobby in my life except for writing JJK fic, haha! Let's see...

Other than making music (which sits in a complex space in my mind and can't be neatly categorised as a "hobby"), most of the things I enjoy relate to wildlife! Conserving nature and promoting biodiversity are close to my heart and my personal life, so I'm very passionate about these topics and how they intersect with social justice.

In fact, I care so much that I sought out a career in this field, despite my previous professional development becoming useless as a result! Working in this area is very different to finding enjoyment in nature for myself. However, regardless of the difficulties my job brings, I love wildlife photography, I love gardening for wildlife, and I love getting involved with citizen science projects related to wildlife — usually in conjunction with one another! Over the last couple of years:

I've planted a tiny wildlife pond in a Belfast sink and watched it become a habitat for frogs, damselflies, pollinators, and lots of other creatures;

I've painstakingly established and maintained a tiny native wildflower meadow, and seen it support grasshoppers and birds and rare solitary bees;

I've re-landscaped my small outdoor space to create a highway for wild mammals and encourage natural predators of "pests" to the places I need them;

I've taken part in countless bird and butterfly counts throughout the different seasons, and learned to read the natural environment around me more intuitively in the process; and

I've taken lots and lots of photographs throughout, capturing rare species that I never would have spotted if I hadn't been looking in the first place!

It is genuinely the most rewarding thing to see wild animals and insects enjoying the fruits of your labour. I think it's also a balm for broader climate dread, because while individuals don't have the power to make a difference on a global scale, we can make a difference in our local area. It's a slow process, and it takes a long time and a lot of hard work to see results, but it's so worth it. I'd encourage everyone to take small actions for wildlife wherever they can, because the wellbeing benefits it brings are enormous!

Since I'm yapping about it already, I'm going to take this opportunity to make a few little PSAs about some common mistakes when it comes to helping wildlife:

Save the wild bees! Honeybees are essentially managed livestock, and do not need our help. They have humans to control disease, provide food, and defend the nest. Bumblebees and solitary bees have to fend for themselves, and commercial honeybee colonies in the area often outcompete them for the scarce resources they depend on. Take some time to research your local native wild pollinators and provide food plants specific to those species!

In general, sugar water for bees does more harm than good. It's much better to provide them with natural sources of nutrition from native flowering plants! Think of sugar water as a junk food snack and a garden of diverse flowers as a balanced, healthy meal!

Similarly, bird feeders should be handled with care. Watching birds using your feeders is wonderful and we shouldn't overlook the valuable nature connection the experience provides. However, it's always better to provide resources through diverse planting that offers food throughout the seasons. If putting out bird feeders, clean them rigorously and regularly to prevent the spread of disease, and research birds' changing nutritional requirements at different times of year so you can provide accordingly!

Um. I went from saying I have no hobbies to lecturing everyone about wildlife conservation. I wasn't joking when I said I'm passionate 😭 Thanks for the question, and I hope this was interesting and/or educational to someone at least!

FINALLY I DRAW SOMETHING!!!!!!!

some Joseph, both young (around 1980 i'd say, when he was traveling w Stan a few years before the portal incident) and old (~2017, now an art teacher at Westchester High). i like to think the first one is a picture Stan took of him while they were traveling and the second one is his staff photo at WH. the more things change the more they stay the same. i might give em backgrounds and foregrounds to look like that

he's had that jacket since the 70s. real leather will last you.

no glasses alts + the first sketch below

i admit i think i fucked up a bit in my oshamir au posts and most likely used some pictures of amandla when they were 18-19(?) and paired them up with much older manny pics but i genuinely didn’t know, i’m still new to stanning amandla while i have loved manny since the good place so if i made anyone uncomfortable i apologise and i will do a better job of researching when the photos were taken so it doesn’t end up being weird…

Today’s random ocean fact: all penguins live in the southern hemisphere!

I saw someone in the replies of my last penguin fact ask for another penguin fact, so let’s talk about them! All 18 penguin species live south of the equator. They range from South America (with Magellanic penguins like the one photo below), to Africa (with the aptly named African penguins), to Australia (with the blue penguins mentioned in my earlier post) to Antarctica (with the iconic emperor penguins). So if you’re having trouble remembering the differences between the north and south poles remember- only the south pole has penguins!
