"Glossy black myna with bright yellow head wattles. Also note bright candlewax-orange bill and white wing patches that are most apparent in flight. A species of mature humid forest and forest edge, often seen in pairs or small flocks flying between or perched up in tall trees. Famed for its wide repertoire: gives a myriad of screams, squeaks, chirps, and whistles. Threatened by its popularity in the cage bird trade."

The Suren Starling or Indian Pied Myna is week 3 of this month's #birdartweekly hosted by @migratorymay and @jdgoodhue_art featuring birds of Indonesia.

leta

Your name reminds me of a work I read but I can't for the life of me remember what work it was

Maybe Poe's The Raven bc Lenore

Also reminds me of the radio ad for Frank Leta Automotive: it's a CRIME to pay more than a DIME (ONE DIME DOWN)

OH SORRY I FORGOT I LEFT THIS SITTING IN MY INBOX HI MYNA

yeah i’m not sure but lenore’s a pretty name i feel like i could find a lot of people in victorian times who’s called lenore. probably bc it’s edgar allen poe-

NO STOP SOME ADS ARE REALLY TRAUMATIZING there was one for toothpaste and like the mouths were coming out of the drains and chanting the name of the brand and.. it was really traumatic 🤡

Assigning specific birds to my signalis ocs

special thanks to @plasterhound for assigning birds to the first four and infecting me with loving birds disease <333

Awol is a shamrock macaw! I didn't even know these guys existed but they're very appropriate for her! very colors

Holt is a greater sooty owl!! Salt and pepper birds...

Wanze was given the white throated hummingbird!! I think they're neat lil fellas and they look so cheeky <3

I didn't know there was such a thing as a falcon-like owl but Rene showed me the rufuous owl... and she's perfect for Sonderbar's whole deal. I love these animals they look like they're trying so hard to be not owls.

This marks the guys I assigned myself!! I gave Wasserlinse the Chestnut-fronted macaw because it's also called the severe macaw and is known to be a meaner bird than most of it's type, which I think fits really well with how Linse bites back at protektors especially.

While looking at magpies on wikipedia I found so many wild ones... I gave Dorredt the Sri Lankan blue magpie, it inspired her blue chestplate and I wanted her to match with Kosmos as some sort of blue bird!

For Kosmos I found the bali myna! They're so striking with their blue faces and I thought they were a good pick for a different sort of blue myna! I also ended up picking this particular type because they're critically endangered, so I matched up their uniqueness to Kosmos being a one of a kind prototype!

Now we're onto some ocs I haven't properly introduced yet, they're all part of either the VVH or the VDF (which are related! Port and ship respectively)

Feuerkrote was given tristam's starling, I just liked the red wings and dark body for her. This was hell why are there so many starlings and why are so many of them weird. And not a bird but honorable mention to the bleeding toad which is her namesake!!

Essig, the VDF ship captain, gets the orange breasted falcon! I just thought they were really cool looking birds, and if I remember correctly they're also a smaller breed of falcon, which I just thought was funny. Spiritually itty bitty and full of rage <3

Honig, Essig's adler got Verreux's eagle! No particular reason for this choice either, just thought it was a cool eagle and went well with Essig's choice!

Sera/Hollenhund (name pending) was given the african wooly-necked stork! Again rule of cool came in, but the final reason I picked this stork over the oriental stork (I just thought those were pretty) was due to them not being wetland bound and also due to their fun flight behavior, which reminded me of this storchie's love of open spaces and her energy.

Schrott is a very last minute addition considering she was made very recently (I haven't edited her pic yet. Just pretend she's also got some greying hair too <3). I gave her the white shouldered starling, mostly because of associating the lighter color with greying hair and her age, but I also thought this particular starling was a really fun contrast to Hollenhund's assigned bird since they're mentor and mentee respectively!

that's all the birds for now, thank you for sticking around until the end of this post!!!

Prompt 3 of YOTP! "What are you doing with that" (DA: Veilguard, Emmrook)

takes place post-game and spoilers for Emmrich's companion quest. <3

@anderfels

--

Zea Laidir hadn't meant to find it.

She'd been looking for a clean pair of gloves, something to hide her dirt stained fingers so they weren't obvious when she shook hands at the ball they'd been invited to. They were still in the process of getting enough furniture to accommodate all of their things, so until they received another dresser most items were combined.

It was easy to tell her clothing from Emmrich's; her bright and bold colors with enchanted thread that glittered in the light made of cheap-to-moderate fabric verses his green and purples made from the best fabric there was. But things like gloves were combined since they were easier to.

Digging through the drawer, her fingers brushed against something hard. Curious, Zea pulled it out and saw the small black square box. Stomach squeezing, she stared at it for a moment as her mind spun.

There was only one thing that could fit in a box that size and why Emmrich would hide it from her. But still wanting to confirm what it actually was, she tried to open it but her fingers wouldn't cooperate.

Clenching her right hand in a fist to stop the shaking, she set the box on the top of the dresser and closed her eyes- taking a deep breath to steady herself.

"You've gotten treasure out of worse places than this. And you had to disarm traps beforehand." she told herself, slowly letting a breath out while opening her eyes. "Easy peasy. It's just a box."

"What are you doing with that?"

Emmrich's voice cut through the silence like a knife and Zea startled, turning as she slightly jumped. "Emmrich, I-You're back early." Zea stammered, feeling her face heat up with embarrassment at being caught and that she, a Lord of Fortune, hadn't heard him enter their quarters. "Don't you have a class right now?"

"I let them out early. All they could talk about was the ball so it was pointless to try and get anything done. Besides, I thought to use the extra time to freshen up before getting dressed." Emmrich replied, fully moving into the room but not breaking eye contact with Zea. "Do you make it a habit to go through my things?"

"I was looking for some gloves. Worked in the garden today so I didn't want to embarrass you with my dirt stained hands." Zea lifted a hand to show him the grime covered fingers despite the good scrubbing she'd given them.

Emmrich softened slightly at the reply, "My dear, you could never embarrass me." He took the free hand in his and raised it to his lips, pressing a soft kiss to it. As he lowered it, he continued, "I take it that you know what's in there."

"I...have a guess. I couldn't bring myself to open it." Zea managed to get out, her heart in her throat. Swallowing in an effort to calm herself, she continued, "When did you get it?"

"When we took Manfred to see the Lich Lords and you convinced me to bring him back. I knew then that I didn't want to spend another day without you."

"Even though I convinced you to give up becoming a Lich?" Zea asked, knowing that he had resented the choice for awhile and they'd even gotten into a fight about it.

"Darling, it's because you convinced me to that I knew I wanted to get it. Only someone who loves life as much as you do could make me change my mind." Emmrich grabbed the box with his free hand and guided Zea out to the common area while continuing, "When Myna and Vorgoth were discussing locating that spirit in Hossburg with you, I used the distraction to go back to my old quarters and retrieve it."

He opened the box to reveal the gold band set with rubies and emeralds. "This was my mothers, passed down from her father and his mother and so on. I know that she would be thrilled for you to have it." He said in a soft tone, before taking a knee in front of Zea.

Zea's mind was screaming at what was happening, she knew that eventually it would; they'd discussed the possibility of maybe, eventually one day but she'd always assumed that it would be with the rest of their group in attendance. They'd go to the Dellamorte Estate where Lucanis would cook for them and regale them with a tale of a past contract, drinking too much wine with Neve. Bellara would be asking all sorts of questions for her serial while Davrin would be yelling at Assan to not get to close to the water.

They'd try to make Taash laugh at some joke, while feeling the all too empty space that Harding's absence was creating. Then, with the lights from the riverbank and gondola's as they sailed past- Emmrich would take her to the garden and ask the question underneath a trellis covered in flowers. There'd be more wine and shouted congratulations, Neve telling her that she knew the best dressmaker in Docktown who could make her a new dress for a reasonable price. Taash would say that Isabela wanted to be invited to the party but only if it was at the Lords's enclave.

Then they'd spend the night in one of the suites in the manor, making love until they were exhausted.

"-do me the honor?" Emmrich's voice brought Zea back to the present and she looked down at the man who saw her flaws and loved her for them. Someone who literally tore the Veil apart to get her back.

Blinking back the tears that were suddenly forming, Zea nodded. "Yes." she whispered, smiling as Emmrich took the ring out of the box and slid it onto her finger.

Emmrich knew that this wasn't how it was supposed to go, he'd wanted the rest of their rag-tag group to be present, but even so it was still perfect. "I love you." he said before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss.

"Me as well." Zea replied when they broke apart. "Now I guess we have to go to that ball, give everyone something to talk about."

Emmrich laughed, "Then we'd best start getting ready."
