A dead leaf which is actually a butterfly

[littlepawz]

I am once again blown away by Mother Nature. I just spent a few minutes looking for insects among the leaves on this hand before realizing that they are ALL insects. Scientists suggest the insects began to mimic the appearance of leaves, flowers, and twigs thanks to random genetic mutations and it has allowed them to hide away in vegetation to escape predators for millions of years. 

(Were you able to find Oakleaf Butterfly, Orchid Mantis, Stick Insect and 2 Leaf Insects in the above photo?)

Robins:

What if instead of being batman

Mothman

Would the robins still be robins? Who knows.

Mothman is definitely fluffier and might be seen less often than canon batman but honestly who knows.

I do want to say that the robins are based off of other moths and butterflies whenever they start doing their own thing.

For example Nightwing could be based off of a blue morpho

I’m bored

So have a mock tattoo design I made (inspired by Will lmao)

[Image ID: The sketch of a butterfly covers the canvas. Veins similar to that of leaves run along the wings. Its antennas wrap around an arrowhead near the top, the ends resembling that of an oakleaf. Wisps of “fire” stretch outward from the tip of the arrowhead and the ends of the wings. /End ID]

asks about ur channah design/headcanons/lore :3

oooooh yippee!!! so i dont have too too much for her but i do have thoughts about her so <3

most of this will be basics of her design & past life & stuff ?

so first of all, shes a flower based fae. in my dsmp au there's different sublevels of fae - based on the type of magic they're attuned of the most. there's river fae, wild fae, moss fae, etc. hannah is a flower fae (of the spring court). this, appearance wise, gives her natural flowers growing out of her, pointed ears, cat-like pupils, and general unnaturalness (it is important to note that because of this, people had a much harder time telling when she was egged because she was already uncanny). she also has two pairs of wings!!! they are shaped like an orange oakleaf butterfly, but the pattern is a pink version of the chestnut tiger butterly !!! also the second, lower one is feathered. one special thing to note about her is her antlers!!! these antlers are due to her deal with the God of The Wild (nature in general !!!)

very quick sketch of hannah design !! ^

before the smp, (and, according to my own lore, around the end of The New Timeline) she lived in a small village with her grandmother. Her grandmother, of course, wasn't actually her grandmother, but rather an old lady who found her as a young toddler at the end of the woods. Her grandmother raised her, even knowing what she was, and taught her how to properly care for plants. When she was a teenager, after she had grown her wings, her grandmother brought her to the forest to meet her own kind. hannah was welcomed, of course, but kept coming back to the woman who raised her. at some point, the village found out what hannah was, and attacked her grandmother. hannah managed to stop them, and grabbed her grandmother and ran into the forest. the fae weren't too happy with the grandmother being in the forest, and Hannah was a much lower fae, so she didn't have much sway.

hannah ended up seeking out the god of the wild. she told it that she would do its bidding (be its champion!) as long as her grandmother was cared for. it agreed. as a token of her championship, she was granted antlers (well, technically horns but they are shaped like antlers). those hurt to grow in btw.

as the champion of the wild, she did. some stuff. its wasn't much, and was pretty tame. she enjoyed her work (it was basically large scale gardening), but she began to grow anxious and paranoid. she was sure that the god would ask her to do something awful and big soon.

but, then The Collision happened ! and the timeline & world rebooted. because she was the champion of the wild, she was able to survive and was saved, but because she was so closely tied to the now nearly dead god, she fell dormant. she was basically in deep sleep for thousands of years. during this time, nature grew around her, and she gained an almost stone-like texture.

one day, though, a traveler accidentally knocked into her. she was pushed just enough to crack her antlers. over time, the vines growing around her would further the crack, eventually breaking the antlers off. the pain (and the removal of the tie to the god) woke her, and she found herself with iffy memories, in an unfamiliar place, and no one she knew. the fae were few and far in between, so she could not find comfort in her species. she started wearing sweaters because she found she was always cold, and as a self-comforting weight.

she eventually figured out a way off the server, and went to hypixel, where she met purpled. she learnt to fight there, and learned what happened to her home. she also figured out what happened to her. the years of sleep had blurred her memories, loosing the details, but the basics were there.

after some time, she decided to go back to the dsmp. in some feeble hope to try to help the ancient gods (and some strange attachment to the one who gave her only worries.)

at arrival to the dsmp, though, her feathered wings were clipped, and almost stripped bare. they were useless. her butterfly wings were tattered just enough to render them useless as well.

okay thats all i have for her past. uhm now some things.

her colors (of her wings, her roses, etc) are very dependent on her mood. they have become duller over the years

before the dsmp, she had many more roses covering her.

shes sapphic !!! and also demigirl, but uses she/her prns exclusively. oh and also polyamorous !!!

the egg regularly would have her tear out her feathers (and replace them with vines)

she learned how to crochet after the egg

she can make pretty decent pastries !!! she really enjoys it, at least.

thats all i have for rn (its late so my brain is fried) but i hope u enjoy?
