birds can be so disproportionate it’s actually so funny. one of life’s greatest delights

african jacana

green heron

black winged stilt

south phillipine dwarf kingfisher. honestly most kingfishers but this one especially

japanese paradise flycatcher

kiwi wing + how big they are for reference

white bellbird. i just don’t think they should be able to do that

@the-azzangna

the sword billed hummingbird is one that always gets me

Tawny frogmouth. Nightjars in genera look like they've got tiny little beaks when they're closed

and then they open their mouth and it is a not tiny at all beak.

one of these days i should post all of my shows screenshots with little captions explaining why i took them

I imagine that after you've said this, a lot of them will be "spite"

Am I glad god's in his heaven, and that we're down here and that all's right with the world and that we're in heaven down here and that we're in his heaven and I just remembered we're down here

I really do think I'm making something interesting, but I've stared at it so long it's hard to tell

Correct.

Correct.

part of my particular blend of internet poisoning is bursting into laughter whenever i hear the word “problematic”

In terms of internet poisoning, call me Mithradates VI

non-glib bio (will be edited constantly):

- i make music and publish it on my bandcamp. i am currently working on an album called Cicada, but it’s very very hard to make progress when you’re actually working on something ambitious and not just going on autopilot getting every creative idea out there as fast as possible like i was doing for the first year of releasing music. i’m proud of what i have so far, though.

- i stream indie games sometimes on twitch.

- i like weird slow metal music. personal favorites include Cult of Luna, Ufomammut, Isis, and Neurosis.

- i like animation. i’m not picky about its country of origin, but due to circumstances that means in practical terms i like anime. personal favorites include Evangelion and the Monogatari series. you can see what i’ve watched here, please bug me about it ! i like sharing my opinions on art.

- i like language. i have half-finished many conlangs, but i’m currently working on one that seems to be going pretty alright. i don’t have any formal linguistics education, but i hope to change that in the future. historical linguistics is a particular interest of mine, though i admit i don’t know enough about it.

- i am in some sense queer. the specifics are none of your concern.

if that sounds interesting, follow me. or don’t, i can’t control what you do. you can even follow me if that doesn’t sound interesting. the freedom of choice is such a wonderful thing, isn’t it? even the act of informing yourself of the choices before you is lovely. you can breathe ! you can feel, you can look, you can experience, you can take in all the joys and beauty of this lovely world of ours ! what a wonderful thing it is to be alive.

This is like the sixth time I see someone complain about some annoying thing on twitter that I've somehow managed to dodge entirely, maybe I'm just accidentally good at curating

- Democratic Party Electoral Campaign

You watched the latest Drawfee video in spirit

i love Misato evangelion and Minami yurucamp and Kikuri bocchitherock i wish alcoholism was real

We're working on it

people either need to start referring to 21:9 as 7:3 or 4:3 as 12:9, the inconsistency in aspect ratio terminology is simply unacceptable

Should I bring my curse here too? Vote now

as far as ive been able to tell a fantasy world becomes ‘grimdark’ if it features overwhelming gratuitous suffering or if it tries to mirror real-world social issues in any capacity, even just a little bit

And if the suffering is overwhelming but not gratuitous?

im getting more and more convinced that all great art is fetish art. if a piece of art is really important to you, truly changed your life, it probably gave the author a boner at some point.

I'm into so many things that I could make every character in a story related to one of them without anyone noticing, and I probably will

cool fact: the story im writing became a ton more substantial and interesting the moment i stopped worrying about lore

A lot of problems are solved once you realise a goal is instrumental and not terminal. Lore is good when and because it serves the story.

one day I'll have a full set of plate armor

God willing, I will someday be the reason Sweden's steel export ceases

This is why art is important, in case you were wondering.

God, I hope I don't see a followup article about kids feeding actual fish plastic

hey ask me things

"What would you bring to a deserted island?" is played out, so I'll go with "where would be the best place to bring a deserted island?"
