Anonymous asked:
Fawkes the Phoenix was based on a harpy eagle, howmcute would a kestrel phoenix be with a peacock tail and train?
this is a Good Opportunity considering i was never a big fan of fawkes’ movie design how about
ok but what about
chaoskirin
@elodieunderglass uhhhhhh… Birb?
I Suggest we Consider:
AQUATIC (penguin)
- No wait
- this is terrible
- put it back
- the poor thing
- why would anyone do this
I dunno, I kinda love it… :D
It’s a fine line to tread when you’re breeding your phoenix. A swan is good:
- Elegant
- Classic
- Like Cleopatra, he burns upon the water
- Equal parts beauty and danger
- Full of Secrets
But take it a few genes to the left and you’ve got a GOOSE
- A raptor if raptors were total idiots
- Neither beauty nor grace
- Full of Hate
- Has so much poop for you
(Make no mistake, a swan will mess you up just as hard as a goose. But it is the difference between being slain with a katana and getting whacked with a bag of old potatoes.)
It got better
Oh my God someone actually drew a Good Version of my Dubious Penguin????? And THEN someone added a sweonix (swan phoenix)? Oh man, this is the stuff you miss when you’re in the middle of a reblog chain.
@english-history-trip that is some powerful art, and I respect the trip that it represents from the sublime to the absurd, for in this journey we find enlightenment.
@keire-ke your magnificent penguin art represents the other side of the journey, which takes us from the absurd to the powerful. In this journey we find truth.
According to some sources, the legend of the phoenix might be derived from another bird noted for it’s striking appearance and who, indeed, are of the order Phoenicopterus
You know what birds those are?
FLAMINGOS!
Just saying…. if someone wanted to try ANOTHER take on Fawkes….
This is terrible and I feel like I should apologise, but really, it’s @iconuk01‘s fault.
Also I am not a certified Birb artist.
Never
Apologize
For
Shaming

so I’m speaking hypothetically here but is there any reason we can’t move the whole Phoenix thing backwards up the dinosaur family tree a little bit?
T-Rex Phoenix. that’s where I’m going with this.
Phoenix kiwi . Please you master birb artists make it happen! A useless flightless bird who gives death from the knees down
Dear @bunjywunjy and @gigi-tastic I hope you shall enjoy these firey beasts of past and present.
They make a fantastic duo.
HELL
YES
HELL
FUCKIN
YES
@elodieunderglass Do penguin phoenixes dive down to geothermal vents for food? That would be a good reason to make them phoenixes.
They could! There are some near the Antarctic. Also, since classically there can only be one phoenix at the time, their self-immolating funeral pyre is required to provide enough heat to hatch their egg 😔
Truth is, it reads more like "she can do everything" and "him, it's just Ken"
And ken is a slang used in French that means "to fuck"
So "Him, it's just fucking"
Which I think is even more hilarious
“The very best moment of my wild Arctic Fox experience from yesterday. Please enjoy with sound“

A language tip for all the french guys out there
...That's sorted THAT out, then.
(And when you get back to wherever you're staying, the people there don't start with the "Wait, where's the rest of the one we sent you for?!")
I love killdeer so much. Truly. However they are some of the dumbest creatures on the planet someone help them
hottest gravel known to man = wonderful place to rear children
One of those design competition shows but it is killdeer versus mourning doves
Killdeer “nest” on a football field in Sacramento, CA
Mourning dove “nesting” on a garden hoe
When I was a small child I asked my mom why there was a rubber strip on the bottom of the door into the garage.
She said “It keeps the giraffes out.”
Now I was pretty sure there were no wild giraffes in Connecticut and it didn’t make sense that an animal as tall as a giraffe could fit under a door, but for some reason I just accepted it.
Years later it hit me that she said “drafts.”

Video description: a child in pajamas is laying on top of several low shelves, which are covered in a mat and blanket. It is situated in front of a window front, and the sun shines through. There are seven cats in various positions on top of the child, one of them resting between their arms. Extremely loud purring is audible. End video description

The Quartet That Started It All
As followers of this blog will note, this is not actually the quartet that started it all for me, but it DID launch author Tamora Pierce's career in the 1980s, and Alanna remains absolutely beloved among Pierce's heroines. Let's talk the Song of the Lioness Quartet.
Oh yeah, The Ordeal. Its normal to wake up in a cold sweat years later with nightmares about The Ordeal. Anyone who didn't go through The Ordeal is forever marked as a little too carefree. A little too uninhibited. Its illegal not to send your kids to The Ordeal.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I got a letter from my good friend Jonathan today saying he's alive and well and done with his business and heading home in a week. It was strictly businesslike, not at all his usual style, but I figure he's just In The Zone. Lawyers, amirite?

The majority of the rich teach their offspring to perpetuate a system that keeps the wealthy firmly in power, while the rest of us struggle. People with less are always more generous to others.
