#red stripe is a birb

[unorthodoxica]

Taking a shift in the surveilance room was hell for Red-Stripe.

Not because of the late nights–it was crepuscular, why would that bother it? Not because it was mostly boring in a ship like the Guileless. There was rarely any trouble here. And the worst it ever got to was an entertaining spat. No. It was because of the humans.

More specifically.

The play-hunting.

Red-Stripe could see them on the projections sometimes. It usually occured once a day, if it was lucky, it was less.

One of the humans slowly crept up on another human–bent low and Red-Stripe felt its rapid heartbeat rise further.

The humans play-hunting were tiny. Young. But chicks. Yet, they were already starting to learn how to capture prey.

They were terrifying.

The tiny creeping human leapt at the other from behind, blinding it with its meaty talons.

Red-Stripe shivered, doing its best to keep its eyes on one of the other projections.

I feel like any aliens that were prey at some point in evolution would have an odd fear of humans. Mostly cause they look like predators, act a bit like predators, and ARE predators. One perfect example is when we're focused on something like a mosquito that's been bugging us for a long time and we are just done.

Alien: "What. What..?"

Human: *HUNTING down a mosquito it saw*

Alien: ".... yeah I am really uncomfortable...."

Human: *quiet footsteps, pupils dialated, intense focus,*

Alien: *WAR FLASHBACKS*

Human: "Found you." *absolutely desimates the mosquito, squashing it into a million pieces as it's guts and various body parts liquidize into blood of the bloodthirsty, now stained on the palm of the human. A living being now reduced to a useless corpse as the human wipes the remains on their pants*

Alien: "I feel like I've just gained trauma."

Sunni Toka

(She typically wears a poncho over her outfit when not swimming)

other characters you need to know for her story: Zac (best friend)

Birth Year: 37 BBY

Age at beginning: 15

Species: Notolan

Gender: Female, She/her

Height: 5’3”

Occupation: Padwan

Force Alignment: Light

—————————————————————————-

Personality: Sunni is very motherly and likes to come across as mature for her age. She hides her own inner struggles as not wanting to affect those around her as the Jedi drilled emotional suppression into her from a young age. She mimics her former master in many ways but a lot of her confidence is a front and she doesn’t yet fully know who she is.

Appearance:  Sunni is a yellow skinned Notolan with small pinkish red stripes on her tentacles. Her outfit is a moore traditional Notalan attire with an outfit for swimming underneath her pants. Her body and tentacles are decorated with beads and bracelets and sense she doesn’t have hair her padwan braid her’s is made of beads.

Weapons: I know in canon we see lightsabers be used underwater but that’s lame so I’m keeping the thing from legends. She has a double bladed saber with a simple silver hilt. It is actually two separate sabers connected to gether at the hilt and can be split apart. One saber is blue and the other is green. They also are made from special kyber crystals that can be ignited under water. When ignighted they look like kid fisto’s saber from the old 2D clone wars. (Shown in drawing)

—————————————————————————-

Backstory: Sunni was taken by the order as a baby and has no memory of her parents. She doesn’t care too much about it but would like to find them again some day. She’s always Looked up master Kid Fisto another Notolan Jedi and wanted to be trained by him but he had a padwan when she was ready to be trained. Instead she was trained by master (insert name) Who fell ill and passed away. They had been very close and he was like a father to her. She was then pared up with Zac due to need of capable commanders in the war despite neither of them having a master. She’s still very effected by her master’s death though she pretends not to be and as a child thrown into war she is very emotionally vulnerable.

25. What is your favorite thing about your OC?

Oof, this is going to be a long one. You did ask for an info dump, here I go. Writing it down, I'm seeing a pattern with my main OCs :/

Ly'rill (The OG)

- Design wise, the markings that she has now. Something that pop into my brain that went, "What if her markings are like Ammy from Okami? Like, only the ones who have true faith in beings like her can see her markings."

- They're hot-headed despite her looking calm, let's just say it took practice to mask their anger and when they need to release that pent up anger, she'll go to her domain and burn shit. Sometimes, Cathrin is more than happy to be in her line of sight (these two are horny for each other and her logic brain goes out the window, "Angry tiny woman who can incinerate her into non-existence hot.")

Astrel (birb)

- Her feather slowly gaining its color (I wont elaborate too much because it's still tbd). Notice that before I drew her with dark hair/feathers and now she had red stripes, yeahhhh. She used to colorful feathers before trauma happened when she was very young

- She can easily change a topic about herself to something else, and she's a great liar if she wants to. But, she does have trouble lying to people who she cares and has a genuine heart.

Quinn (bread boi)

- He's a fairly new addition, so I don't have much info on him except he bakes and really, what more can I add than this.

Cathrin (dont judge me)

- Werepyre (werewolf + vampire hybrid) monster buff lady :D

Vyrll (main WoL)

These are ffxiv OC that I might elaborate more in the future idk

Azrel + Kena (Astrel's moms)

- Like Astrel, their feathers and actual harpy form. Typical love birds

- They really love their daughter, that if anything happens to her, they will kill anyone who stands in their way or are involved in hurting their daughter.

- Was taken by the Garleans and experimented on due to her unique heritage (half au'ra)

- Took years for her to escape, due to the chance the calamity event gave

- She had a family (a wife, and twins) that she tries to go back to, but due to her lost identity and having no gils, well shes stuck in Eorzea and doing odd jobs to save up, then fate comes with its bs.

Kriv Xeran (bona fide hrothgal)

- Vyrll's wife and known local blacksmith of their village

- Still in the work since shes new

For that Red Riding Hood P3 au.

Tiny Birb Monster Ryoji bringing Minato ‘gifts’ like a Kitty?

Gifts= Dead Animals

I got insanely happy when an ask for my AU came up, and I love that it was such a simple, kind of goofy request. This was fun to write, I hope you enjoy this addition as much as I do <3

Despite often walking on all fours and being a monster born from the night, Ryoji Mochizuki, as Minato's...companion had named himself, was a nightmarishly intellegent creature.

Upon first glance, he had seemed no smarter than perhaps a crow when Mitsuru had given him a few tests. Able to identify shapes, people, and maybe even himself in a mirror, but unable to speak or seemingly understand them beyond inflection or tone. However, after a particularly odd spat, Minato and his co-workers had learned that his new Shadow was not only smarter than a crow, but was scarily so. Showing that he could not only identify shapes, but write in shockingly neat handwriting.

With all of that said, whatever unnerving depths of intellegence Ryoji hid didn't keep him from behaving like a spoiled brat of a bird. Demanding pet, yowling and cawing when he wanted food, and demanding to be bathed despite Minato being almost certain that the same creature who was capable of opening doors and locked phones could do it himself. Or, in tonight's case of his stubborn game. Bringing home dead animals to be, what Minato could only assume to be, some form of gift.

            "Ryoji. Where the FUCK, did you get a zebra in Japan?" Minato asked, gesturing to the dead, striped horse that the monster had dropped onto the porch the night, and now laid on the pavement baking in the sun. Yet, of course, the cat-sized Shadow on his shoulder did nothing but trill and press his head into Minato's cheek gently, cooing and fluttering his four wings in innocent joy. Obviously, he wasn't going to answer. So, with a heavy sigh, the blue-haired Shadow hunter admitted defeat on the conversation front. Simply decided to try and look the animal over instead.

Not that this had been the first dead 'gift' he'd found, Ryoji had brought him a wide collection of dead things in the two months that he'd claimed the midnight-haired male as his favorite person. But, this was the first one that was far too big to toss into the dumpster and forgotten about. So, the hunter was left to find some other method to get rid of the poor thing while he looked the corpse over for a cause of death.

Judging from the lack of a blood stain, the zebra hadn't been cut into. That, or it simply didn't have any blood left in it, but, it's course fur didn't seem to be hiding any thin cuts or puncture holes at the throat, so Ryoji being vampiric didn't seem to be the case.           "So, like, are you going to eat this thing?" He asked after a finishing his half-hearted investigation of the scene, but the odd shadow only looked up at him in silence. Frozen in his attempt to get a ramune marble out of a discarded bottle to gawk up at Minato as if he'd just spat in his birthday cake. "I'll take that as a no." The hunter sighed, looking back at the corpse on the dormitory porch as he thought again.

He tried lifting the horse, but it would at least take two very determined people to do, and the blue-haired shadow hunter wasn't exactly in the mood to put that much work into it. Especially since burying it would require him to dig a hole as well.

So, he came to a different idea, and turned back to the cat-sized monster fighting the glass bottle. "'yoji, why don't you bring this thing inside? We'll eat it, or something." He told him, which got a trill as the creature dropped the ramune bottle and began extending himself and stretching himself out into a bigger size with a soundtrack of skin-crawling cracks, ripping, and bone-scraping noises that was enough to make Minato cringe a little bit. But, he wasn't about to shame the monster for the noises when he could just pick his catch up like it were little more than a bag of cat food and haul it inside.

Mitsuru would inevitably be pissed about the dead zebra, but that was an issue for later.

Catching up on some birb posts. This is the red-billed blue magpie, although I didn't mean to make him look so sad.

opinions on birbs?

whats ur favorite one? mine is crows and ravens such handsome bois i love them

okay i could go off on this FOREVER because i've been OBSESSED with birds since i was like. 4.

i've been collecting bird feathers since i was 4 or 5. i have around 2,000+ in my collection, and i've actually found peacock feathers in the wild! i have a few peacock feathers, a crap ton of blue jay feathers (they were super common where i used to live, one time i found like 50 in one day!) i also have a lot of beautiful red cardinal feathers, which is actually really good because cardinals shed their feathers extremely rarely! the first one i found, i found accidentally by slipping on a patch of ice and i saw it when i sat up adflasdfasd.

i just want everyone to like. also admire the beauty of pheasant feathers, turkey tail feathers, grouse feathers, and blue jay feathers like.

[Image ID: A picture of a blue jay perched on a tree stump, with its wings and tail feathers spread revealing beautiful blue feathers with vibrant white and black patterns. End ID.]

THE COLORATION OF THIS PLUMAGE IS LITERALLY BREATHTAKING!

AND LOOK AT OWLS AND GROUSE FEATHERS!

[Image ID: Two images of two feathers, an owl and a grouse feather. Both are a dusty orange-brown color with black stripes. End iD.]

like feathers with stripes can never be overstated as beautiful like just. look at them. the coloration, the patterns, the details!

[Image ID: Two identical goldfinch feathers- they are golden yellow down the middle with bright yellow stems, and with wavy black-and-white patterns along the edges. End ID.]

gold finch feathers are some of my favorites too because they look more brown in photos but they are SO GOLDEN AND THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL!

[Image ID: A picture of a cardinal feather, completely vibrant red, laying horizontally on the gravel. End ID.]

now cardinal feathers are tricky. because in general, a majority of their plumage isn't super bright vibrant red, it's more of a dusty red-brown, but their tail feathers, especially the males, are actually as vibrant red as they look! i have a few and they're just so so pretty

and ofc, the mother of all feathers is the peacock feather. they're iridescent, they're patterned, they're huge, and they're fucking gorgeous! peacocks are little bitches but they have every right to be because DAMN they're pretty!

[Image ID: Two pictures of a peacock tail with beautiful feathers. They have green frills along the outside and are brown with blue "eyes" and a green circle outline. End ID.]

now some feathers that i think are really underrated are eagle feathers! yes, they are kind of dull in color and their patterning is fairly basic for a striped feather, but they're MASSIVE and so in person they're still really fricking cool just because of how big and impressive they are. one time, i was at a stonehenge site and i found a few laying around and i was practically crying, they're so cool!

[Image ID: A picture of several large, pointy eagle feathers- dark brown with white stripes. End ID.]

so yeah it's safe to say i love birds. their anatomy is so cool, their power is so cool, and some fly like. thousands of miles just to migrate for different seasons! i'd say my favorite birds are also ravens and crows, just because they're so beautiful and cute and also very gender, but i also love pileated woodpeckers, blue jays, red-winged blackbirds, and rose finches!

[Image ID: A picture of a red-winged blackbird perched on a thin branch. It is entirely black except for a vibrant red patch with a golden yellow bottom on its wings. End ID.]

[Image ID: A picture of a rose finch perched on a thin green twig. It is small, plump, and pastel pink in color. End ID.]

[Image ID: A picture of a pileated woodpecker on the side of a tree. It is mainly black with white and black stripes on its neck and a vibrant red crest! End ID.]

Redwall Season 2 Episode 6: Ironbeak Liveblog and Review

In celebration for Netflix doing Redwall, I’m finally going to look into the animated series, reviewing while also comparing and contrasting the two. Keep in mind that this is gonna get incoherent.

Redwall Season 2 episode 6: Ironbeak

I’m gonna be honest I barely remember anything about General Ironbeak. Sooo this oughta be fun.

- Opening.

- That ending shot of Matti reunited with Matthias and Cornflower hits differently now T__T

- LET THESE KIDS GO HOME QAQ

- Time to see the Electoral College fail everyone yet again.

- “So? What’s this got to do with us?” DUDE. SLAVERS. WHO TARGET KIDS. EVEN IF YOUR KIDS WEREN’T AT RISK, WHO THE FUCK IS DISMISSIVE OF SHIT LIKE THIS

- So there’s no more speaking stone, but at what cost?

- GODDAMN OF ALL THE TIMES TO NITPICK THE GUOSIM’S DEMOCRATIC SHITE

- Fuck this one guy in particular. Like goddamn.

- As much as I’d love to see Orlando smack heads, Log-a-Log’s gotta assert his authority himself in this instance.

- “Let’s see if you fight as bravely as you talk.” He doesn’t. Log-A-Log is great =v=

- “He is the fiercest warrior I’ve ever known, and is as wise as he is brave.” That he it TvT

- Whoo team-up!

- There’s the titlecard! It feels like it took the longest here, but that’s most likely because it’s been a while since I liveblogged. It’s also a lot wider than I remember, tho the hanging Laterose is pretty.

- And here are the birbs. Also the backgrounds look a lot more painted on than usual for some reason. There’s a lot of texture for a sky.

- “Truly it will be a great thing to own a redstone house with bells.” … okay??????

- Dicks >:(

- Good on Sam for taking the lead. Also I love his VA.

- BBY ROLLO <3

- “Give my love to Matthias! … if you find him...” She will… she just won’t be able to give your love to him T__T

- OH FUCK THAT EXTRA WHO LOOKS LIKE MATTIMEO WHAT THE FUCK

- Dang John Churchmouse has sharp eyes.

- Maybe the reason the Sparra survivors don’t return is due to the magpies coming? Again, it could also be explained as a continuity snarl or a way to heighten drama later on????

- Where did Jess and Cheek go????

- Aaand Matti used kage bushin no jutsu ala animation error.

- That one rat really did dump all his points into stealth via camouflage.

- “Fleabag, old friend...” Well he dead.

- I WAS RIGHT THEY EVEN INCLUDED THE THUD OF DEATH

- OH FUCK SKAN, ALSO THEY LEFT HIS BODY ANIMATED DAMN also Log-A-Log animation error/doppleganger

- WHAT THE FUCK WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO JOIN SLAVERS

- “You will join us...”

Slagar: (utters under his breath) As slaves.

Skan: What?

Slagar: Whaaaaat?

Skan: … no you said something.

- HAH! “By the teeth of the dead, I thought I buried that lot for good!” THAT’S WHAT YOU FUCKING GET

Also “by the teeth of the dead” sounds cool XD

https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/cfc69d40-6871-4b14-9ff5-d8b58ce0be21

Because really what the fuck did you expect when you asked actual slavers to let you join their group?

- “You traitor!” “Much like yourself, you traitorous shrew… only I am good at it!” One of the only times I agree completely with this assmask.

- Auma was ready to kill a man and that is completely understandable. AND SHE STILL BOPPED HIM HARD ENOUGH TO KNOCK HIM FLAT ON HIS ASS

- NOW THE KIDS KNOW THEIR FAMILIES ARE STILL ON THE MANHUNT

- “Daughter of Orlando (watch where your finger is, kiddo), I’m glad you’re on our side.” So am I. Having a badger on your side is always a wonderful feeling.

Matttimeo: :)

Threeclaws: ??????

Mattimeo: :)

Threeclaws: Okay seriously that’s getting creepy.

- And the nevermore descend.

- “Maybe it is a good omen?” Oh yes yes yes, it’s good… just not for you >:)

Ironbeak: Then will I take the red house for my own!

Martin+ Rose: Bet.

- Cornflower is now occupying two spaces at once and that extra that looks like Mattimeo is fucking with me.

- Rollo honey, this is on you XD

- Also it looks like Cornflower referring to Mrs. Churchmouse as “Mrs. Churchmouse” means that the continuity error has been corrected????? Still mucking with me.

- Cornflower and Mrs. Churchmouse’ VAs have such pretty humming voices =v=

- WHOA JESUS HE’S MASSIVE WHAT THE FUCK

- SAM NO Q-Q

- Don’t do it it’s a trap- or not???? (suspicious)

- I don’t remember what the Dark Forest has, but the fact Slagar’s worried and the fact it gives me Wizard of Oz vibes must mean it’s no good.

- “Oh how I wish I was safe in bed at Redwall again...” Actually, this might be the best time to be away from it, considering… yeah no, that is psychotic, literally anything would be better than marching in a slave parade.

- GO CORNFLOWER USE THE LANTERN AND BURN THAT BASTARD- OR CHOMP HIS FEET OFF THAT WORKS TOO

- WHAT THE FUCK HOW ARE MAGPIES BIGGER THAN A BADGER?!

- “Bow your head, striped dog!” OH YOU DID NOT JUST CALL HER THAT

- SHE JUST BATTED THEM ALL AWAY THAT’S WHAT YOU FUCKING GET OH SHIT GET OFF OF HER YOU ASS

- WINIFRED AND FOREMOLE TO THE RESCUE BEAT THEM OFF WITH STICKS

- “General Ironbeak’s word is law! This house is now his house, and we will prevail!” says the trapped bird who’s been barricaded upstairs. This is the same energy as Cluny screeching he’ll have his revenge while shuffling backwards as fast as he can XD

- Let Foremole say “fuck” or whatever passes for “fuck”. I do appreciate this is the angriest I’ve seen him, or at least I remember.

- Aww, Cheek’s resting in Jess’ tail =v=

- Yeah, nothing puts a hare off their stomach XD Also I just noticed how Jube’s dad’s eyes are a really striking green.

- Shooting star!

- Well… that’s creepy. Yeah no, I’m amazed any of them are able to keep their composure like this T__T

- OH FUCK

- Also where the hell did Vitch go?

- “It’s the Painted Ones!” I feel kind of dumb now.

- Auma! Yes, good girl girl Tess!

- WELL SHIT THAT’S SKAN DEAD THEN He died as he lived: dragging others down with him.

- “We lost Slagar too!” Oh if only T__T Wait a little longer, kiddo… also fuck you, half-face >:(

- “That raven wouldn’t have dared attack us if Warbeak was here.” Yeah...

Rollo: (hugs Cornflower) My hero *^__^*

- Good to see everyone willing to fight. Mordalfus… yeah, his point stands: this summer fucking sucks. But hope is not gone: you have Cornflower and Constance, after all!

Ironbeak: Tomorrow they will pay for their defiance… with their lives!

Redwall: BET!

I really don’t remember much about the Redwall/General Ironbeak’s sections of Mattimeo, since I was more focused on Matthias and Mattimeo’s portions of the book. But the animated series has given me some appreciation for it, if nothing else than to see Cornflower and Rollo (who is so freaking cute wtf).

Again, the animated series makes me care so damn much for these characters I love and makes the ones I detest even more hateful.

[steebs-nerdy-corner]

I’m bored so I’m gonna rate the birds that are coming to my birdfeeder

Dark eyed junco

10/10 they are just little goth orbs that go where winter goes. Perfect floof to birb ratio.

House sparrow

10/10 cryptic coloration but, like, in a classy way. So nice. And the black bit reminds me of a tie so dapper gentleman.

Mourning dove

13/10 one of my favorite birds. Classic song that I’ve been mimicking since before I could walk. Extremely round when it sits down, so comfy looking, excellent cream color.

White breasted nuthatch

10/10 daring climber. Simple but striking coloration. One of my grandma’s favorites.

Northern Cardinal

12/10 another grandma favorite, just look at that color. Even the females that have more cryptic coloration look just so lovely. Such a pretty bird, and I tell them so often

Brown headed cowbird

-5/10 nest stealing habitat fragmentation opportunist bastard, moving on

House Finch

10/10 so nice, slimming stripes, tasteful splash of color, classic yet daring

Black capped chickadee

11/10 is it a birdfeeder without a chickadee? No I didn’t think so. Friendliest birb, will sometimes hang out on a nearby branch while I fill up the bird feeder and scatter seeds on the ground.

Blue jay

9/10 just so goddamn pretty. Just look at those colors, like a clear sky. Mild case of bastard but the looks mostly make up for it.

Red bellied woodpecker

15/10 keystone species making homes for smaller birbs, eats wood eating bugs (even the emerald ash borer), and is also a shy boi who needs protecting.

[unclaimedbaggageoutfits]

Deme Rates Villagers, Part 4: Birds

Disclaimer: Images are from the wiki, all good dogs, my ratings are mainly just there because “Deme gives her abstract thoughts on villagers” is hardly a catchy thing. 

Let’s get to the birbs! Are there borbs? No, not really, Animal Crossing birbs have a pretty straightfoward and uniform shape, they are most likely not borbs.

Ace

Another villager time forgot! Without seeing a clear shot of his eyes (they’re not perma-closed), a big element of his design is sadly lost on me. Otherwise, he’s pretty cute. Nothing fancy, but cute.

2 (Hidden Eyes) /5

Admiral

Eyebrows. Angry. Eyebrows! 

...What’s with his stomach not being the same color as the underside of his face, though? It makes them feel disconnected, which honestly loses some of the appeal for me. On the other hand, angry eyebrows for a grumpy bird. 

Eyebrows... /10

Anchovy

To be honest, I don’t know what to make of Anchovy. On the one hand: I like his simple, bird-like color scheme. I like his square eyebrows... But his expression, his pupils so very, very tiny... Kinda weirds me out. Which, spoiler, is going to be a thing with the birds. Not good eyes, the birds. But once I started looking at other screenshots, with his beak a bit more closed, I came to like his look of mild surprise, in a sort of flickering fondness.

A decent bird, perfectly cromulent. 

I don’t know but it swings between 4-6/10

Flash

Oh man, look at this bird! It’s a crying shame he hasn’t returned since the gamecube days, what with his little swirly little hair-feather, sleepy rectangle eyes, and jaunty little hat, and a cute blue coloring. We are robbed of his revival, and I, for one, will weep for this little bird.

Blue Bird Lamentation / 10

Jacob

What is it with these birds and looking tremendously surprised by existence? Jacob is apparently sort of Brazil-inspired, which is an odd choice of country to make into a charmingly tropical bird, but alright. He and Pave can enjoy carnivale festivale together.

6 /10

Jacques

Look at this fantastic little hipster! He has a beard even if it’s absurd for a bird to have a beard! Blond eyebrows! The green beanie! If he’s come out before the existence of Smug, I’d say he’s a cute little lumberjack, but smug officially marks him as a proud resident of... Maybe Portland, but I’m thinking Seattle. Walks around in the rain, goes hiking in the woods on the weekends, sure, but during the week he goes to an independent coffee shop that does artisanal, free-trade coffee. He used to go to Starbucks, but then they got mainstream. Do hipsters of a certain type play the harmonica? Well, they do now because he is one and he does. Look me in the eyes and tell me I’m wrong. You can’t, can you? He’s so wonderfully a thing. Also, he’s got nice eyes, good, big pupils, and does a nice job tying his beanie color into the rest of his design. A good, good boy.

He would only accept a rating if it was ironic. I have no way of telling if my ratings are ironic or if they’ve looped back to being semi-sincere or if they’re just dumb gags and that’s not irony, you guys, so let the fact that he’s a serious contender for my New Horizons goals list be enough.

Jay

He’s really more of a swallow than a jay, looking at his coloring. Specifically, he’s got the red head and blue body and white underside of a Lesser Striped Swallow. So, now you know. That’s a plus for me, though not a super powerful one, and his eyes have that sort of strange staring quality I noted about Anchovy, but the eyebrows are less good. A rather run-of-the-mill bird.

He’s wearing a 6, however, so 6/10.

Jitters

Oh god that is unsettling. The dark-ringed eyes that are just the wrong sort of wide and staring... I feel like he’s seen Things. I don’t want him to show me Things. (What is funny is that I feel like, given the opportunity, I would probably loop back around and love his thousand-yard, sleepless, burnt-out stare. But I haven’t, so it creeps me out.)

Aaaaaaaaaaah! / 10

Joe

This bird is too small and dark for me to really see, but that might be a nice purple. Look, some villagers from the foggy shores of the past just cannot merit comment.

Lucha

I wonder why Nintendo keeps looking at luchadors and going “You know what this needs to be? A bird.” This is clearly Hawlucha’s little brother, and the effect could be more dramatic or detailed, but it does rather get the job done! 

Lucha Libre / 10

Madame Rosa

Well, well, well, a villager with a form of address in their name! How interesting! I like her face, what little of it we can see, and I think her color is appealing. She looks suitably fancy. Honestly, another villager it is a shame to lose.

Medli

So, here we are. The first of the Amiibo specials! This one is obviously meant to be Medli from Wind Waker, and as an emulation, she’s cute, but please, understand... It’s creepy when fur or feathers or something on an animal character goes for that fair-toned flesh look. The naked mole rat look, except not on a naked mole rat. It’s creepy when custom ponies do it, it’s very creepy when Animal Crossing villagers do it. Please stop.

No Seriously I think about this every time I wanna make a pony of a specific fictional character and then I shudder in deep distaste / Please For the Love of All That Is Good And Holy, Stop. Let Them Have Fur! Or feathers!

Midge

Awwwwwwwwwww! Midge is so cute! Look at those cute little swirls on her cheeks! Her precious little tadpole eyes! She’s a pretty, rosy sort of pink, too. I approve, even if honestly there is no rhyme or reason to her, she is just cute.

Otis

Who is this guy, and what do I think about him? He looks... Like a bird. That covers that, I think.

-/10

Peck

Peck has a nice Java Sparrow look to him, though not entirely. The eyebrows are such a bright red that I don’t quite dig it, but I have to admit, he is a cute. Not my favorite vaguely Java-Sparrow-y person, though. That will always be Azami!

Piper

Man, Piper just does not have cute eyes, this image is a lie. She’s got half-circle eyes that make her look kind of bored. And given that she has so little detail, she really needed cute eyes to make me pleased.

3/10, an actual rating that isn’t just me giving a numerical shrug.

Robin

Robin’s pretty rockin’. I like the subtle blush, assuming that’s not a trick of this one screenshot. The little bit of blue “hair” up on his head ties together his tail and.  Shame his stomach’s not red all the way down. Commit, Animal Crossing designers! Commit! 

Rockin’ Robin: Tweet / Tweet Tweet 

Shoukichi

Oh man, it’s a little daruma doll bird! That’s so good! Look at him, he got his wish I guess! Not much else to say, save that I am sad no one has seen him again. I wish he’d come back one day.

One Eye / Two, for that unfilled wish.

Sparro

This is a pretty cute sparrow. You know what he could use? Bigger eyes. I feel the eyes have been an issue with the birds, and I intend to solve this puzzle. ...I think, considering my reactions, it is that they have big round bobble-heads, and so need a big eye to not look weird. Anyway, I appreciate the big dark rings, but not the weird little blush. He looks like he had a little beard, also good.

W(hy is there a missing W?) / Z

Twiggy

Twiggy sure is. The blue on the cheeks and the tail is nicely tied, and I like the very dark stripes on the legs. I have no particular other feeling, but these are good eyes.

5/10, the rating that is me giving a numerical shrug.

Twirp

Oh, I see Nintendo once considered the matter of bird eyes. And making their pupils ginormous. I see. Hm. Well, I guess I do like it better That said, I have no idea what is going on with this creature. Is it meant to evoke a shaved head? Is this creature naked? He looks very naked. Look, just. I respect your saying farewell to me, Twirp. Goodbye.

??????? / 10

The birds have some fun motifs, and we’re seeing a lot of realistic-ish birds, which is fun, but I think we’ll definitely have more enthusiasm-inducing species. Not new time, though. Next time is cows and bulls, and my expectations are low.

Terrible? Transformation Curses

Send my muse a curse to transform them for a day (or however long the mun/sender decides). Feel free to combine curses to create a terrible, or beautiful, monster!

Third Eye: The muse has an eye placed anywhere on their body that is often visible (forehead, chest, hand...) and this eye has the ability to see glimpses of the future, another dimension, and/or supernatural entities.

Horns: The muse has horns sprouting from their head. The size and number of horns is completely up to the sender!

Slither: The muse now has a long, serpentine tail and has lost the ability to walk on their legs.

Cloven hooves: The muse has to walk with a pair of hooves instead of feet. Add furry legs for a classic ‘satyr’ look if the sender wishes.

Lovely locks: Instead of hair, the muse now has ... something else up there. Snakes, tentacles, spines, dripping slime - the sender can use their imagination!

Gaping Maw: If you have two mouths, can you eat twice as many tacos? Let’s hope. The muse has a second mouth placed anywhere on their body, either hidden or visible, and it’s full of razor sharp teeth.

Fangs: The muse’s ordinary mouth now sports sharp vampire-like fangs.

Jaws: Hell, since when is two sharp teeth enough? The muse now has an entire mouthful of razor fangs. 

Scratch: Instead of fingernails, the muse now has long, pointed claws. Be careful with those things. 

Thwump: Who doesn’t want a tail? Now the muse has their own tail. It can be cute and delicate or heavy and covered in spikes depending on the sender. 

Hiss: The muse has a long, long tongue. Tapered or forked is up to you!

Porcupine: Porcupines are cute, but a little hazardous when annoyed. The muse now has sharp spines placed anywhere on their body (back, elbows, legs...).

Swamp beast: The muse can breathe easy under water with a new set of gills, and why not webbed fingers and toes to go with it?

Majestic birb: Now the muse has the power of flight with their own set of wings. Are they fluffy bird wings, leathery bat wings, or buzzing insect wings? 

Piercing Gaze: Whatever the muse’s original eye color is, they now have something different and unusual. Pure black eyes, milky white eyes, bright red eyes - it’s up to the sender!

Snout: The muse has swapped noses with any type of creature. Give them a beak, a pig snout, a feline button nose, or even a canine muzzle. 

Solid, Liquid, Gas: The muse’s entire body is made up of something other than flesh! Turn them into a gooey slime monster, a red-hot lava monster, a hard rock beast, or even a wisp of person-shaped fog.

Leathers and Feathers: The muse has more than just smooth skin now. Add some scales, feathers, fur, or an exoskeleton!

Size Difference: Grow or shrink the muse either a little bit or a whole lot.

Chameleon: Give the muse bright neon skin, wild colors of hair, or exotic stripes and patterns. Plaid? Go for it.
