#the black indigobird's song

[mourningmaybells]

tightroping between 1950s and DnD sci-fi fantasy speak for my story, but I am absolutely keeping "sauced" as a slang word for drunk.

"Odd little short-tailed and chunky-billed member of the indigobird family. The male is yellow, with dark wings and tail, while the female is brown and streaky on the back and buff on the face and underparts. Found in moist grassland and open savanna. Uncommon across its range. Indistinct song consists of short, rasping phrases. Male could be confused with canaries but has an all-black bill. Female resembles female bishops but has a shorter and thicker all-black bill."

I don't know how to write children anymore, but did anyone else have this problem growing up

[mourningmaybells]

you know maybe i am reworking parts of exo 2 and 5 that i thought were interesting on tbis but to be fair i've been talking about wanting to write a story about children being demonized for mystic powers and then reaching unwanted sainthood and really weird holy buildings that wont save you since 2020 now i just never settled on which character and what title.

yeah maybe my oc book is "what if we do a 'is it or is it not a hoax' ghost story with intersex and bisexual ppl BUT we do it backwards" but to be fair this isn't a weird concept or me trying to be snobby. have you guys watched merrily we roll along.
