So, I'm just cleaning up my art folder now... I hope you like seeing the old stuff I pull from there lol. I think this is one of the first animations I tried? Or at least one where I tried a more simple scheme. It worked cause it's shit simple but I do think it's cute. Also the file is literally called "super cool bee-eater" so it has that going for it.
#animations#animation#little bee-eater#bee-eater#Merops pusillus#Merops#bird#there's some better stuff coming soon promise!#I still have the big Salmon poster to upload#just felt a bit weird to PLONK it down here after being quiet for so long#but that's up next#I also have a really cool steam engine painting to upload which I am soooo proud of#HOWEVER#it is a Russian steam loco and even though that's not the loco's fault I kind of fear people's responses#and fear that would ruin the actual artwork enjoyment#at the same time I feel silly for even worrying about this

König Merops
König Merops ⋆ Fabel ⋆ Mythologie ⋆ Sternbild Adler ⋆ Aquila
König Merops ⋆ Fabel ⋆ Mythologie ⋆ Sternbild Adler ⋆ Aquila
»Ich muss dich doch etwas fragen«, sprach einst ein junger Adler zu einem tiefsinnigen grundgelehrten Uhu. »Man sagt, es gäbe einen Vogel mit Namen Merops, der, wenn er in die Luft steige, mit dem Schwanz voraus und den Kopf gegen die Erde gekehrt, fliege. Ist das wirklich wahr?« »Ei nicht doch!« antwortete der Uhu; »das ist nur eine alberne Erdichtung des Menschen.« »Du aber möchtest wohl selbst ein solcher Merops sein, weil du nur zu gern immer gen Himmel fliegen möchtest um Beute zu jagen, ohne die Erde auch nur einen Augenblick aus dem Gesicht zu verlieren.« Gotthold Ephraim Lessing Der Name Merops (altgriechisch : Μέροψ ) steht für Mensch, Sterbliche oder die Stimme teilend. Merops war in der griechischen Mythologie ein mythischer König der Meroper auf der Insel Kos, Sohn des Triopas, Gatte der Echemeia und Vater einer Tochter, die der Insel ihren Namen gab. Als seine Frau Echemeia einst die Göttin Artemis beleidigt hatte, wurde sie lebendig in die Unterwelt verbannt. König Merops war über den Verlust seiner Frau so untröstlich, dass er sich sogar das Leben nehmen wollte. Die Göttin Hera aber hatte Mitleid mit dem trauernden Witwer und veränderte seine Gestalt in die eines Adlers. Später stellte sie seine Gestalt auch im Nachthimmel dar, im Sternbild des Adlers (Aquila). Der hellste Stern im Sternbild Adler (Aquila) ist Altair, welcher mit bloßem Auge sichtbar ist. Am besten ist das Sternbild nachts im Sommer am nördlichen Horizont zu sehen, da es sich entlang der Milchstraße befindet.

I honestly like the way you draw both Merope & Tom. I need to see more of them as they grow in your au. :)
HIII, I am so sorry to answer this so late but I had to actually be in the mood to draw something lol. I love them too!
"Mum, you are making the snakes look ridiculous!"
"No, they look pretty"
Oh, Merope you would have loved Molly weasley (both canon love potion users 😬 I giess they would have understood each other)
Also a bonus:
Tom jr: "Pink?"
M: "She is a girl basilisk"
Tom jr: "Ah"
I am just assuming but if "the slytherin heir" doesnt HAVE to be male, I like to think that as the oldest member of the gaunt family (that the basilisk knows abt) she would listen to merope over tom lol.
