‘Techno pinches the bridge of his nose. “Come on, Dream. Stop it!… That’s not cool, bro. Why you gotta take out all your frustration on my fancy teacups? I know you’re just mad that you don’t have a house, but bro we can go build you one. We can—we can even make it out of something better than dirt, alright?”’

Ta da! I made some art for the collaborative work, Crow’s Nest, we essentially wrote in a month, which is by far, my most diverse in content and longest fic. Thought it needed some like cool title art, since it’s basically the length of a book lol. (See below for symbolism and stuff)

- it’s kind of a combination of some main elements and themes from the fic: Steve (clearly the main character lol XD), tea, the broken teacups, Techno’s house… the stained floor

- the green tea cup represents Dream and well his broken state after prison, while the pink tinted glue represents Techno helping Dream heal and putting him back together.

- and obviously, a crow for the title and poem the chapters are named after.

- and despite my efforts, Tumblr has kinda ruined my quality, so here’s a zoomed in picture of the tea tag I made, which has the title of the fic and our names on it. :)

#Let’s go I’m learning things. :) #is that blood stains on the wood?… hmmm I have no idea what you’re talking about ;) #I’m sure it’s fine….. #dang tumblr ruining my art quality :’( …. oh well #blue does art apparently #I’m pretty proud of this so I hope y’all enjoy #actually finished this before the one for B is for Betrayal but was trying to fix the blurring issue… but anyways #crows nest #c!rivals duo #dreblr #c!dream #dsmp fanfic #dsmp fanart #rivalsblr #dream fanfic #dream smp #dsmp #yea but given I did this in about a month compared to Dream which took all summer and betrayal which I did in a couple of days #and the crown I did in a few months I think… so I’m getting better? maybe or we’ll I’m learning a lot about digital tools :) #c!dream and c!techno #oh also umm ask us stuff about crows nest there are lots of easter eggs and secrets and things :) <3 <3 <3 #c!rivals #rivals duo #c!techno #steve the polar bear #c!technoblade

Longwythe, World of Ruin. When Noctis returns from the crystal you get a glimpse of Longwythe as Talcott drives past on the way to Hammerhead, but I wanted to see more.  After arriving in Hammerhead I used the God Mode mod to travel back and explore the area.   The Crow’s Nest looks a mess from the outside with daemons prowling around,  a seemingly drunken Kenny Crow on the bench and the scattered clothes of daemonified people on the ground.  The inside, however remains untouched.  The JM5 machines are up and running (although the game crashes if you try to play them) and there is even fresh food on the counter.  You won’t get any service though, the place is completely deserted. Across the road the Triple Z Motel is also unchanged.  The front desk stands empty but you wouldn’t want to spend the night there with so many daemons around.

So... is Vaggie a pirate in the upcoming show? She seems to be standing on what appears to be the crows nest of a pirate ship...

I actually like the idea of Pirate Vaggie.

Love the new outfit too, btw.

Mmm… snippet of future Musical Chairs?

“Thinking about him hurts like a kick to the gut. He hasn’t seen Sapnap since he… died. Since he drowned in poisoned blood. Since he limped through the snow, a bloodied trail behind him, knowing the way and yet feeling utterly lost, wondering if he’ll ever forget the cold look in Sapnap’s eyes and the apathetic greed of his voice when he too asked about the book right before swinging a sharp sword (his sword!) into his flesh just like his fiancé had so many times before. If he’ll ever lose the frost freezing his heart as Sapnap, his friend, his brother stood there in the last possession to his name, denying Dream that small mercy of having what is his. If he’ll ever forget the sound of Sapnap’s disbelieving words as he questioned if the torture really happened as if it wasn’t clear as day from his appearance. As if he wasn’t leaning to one side, standing on a knee bent in the wrong direction. As if a vast spread of scars didn’t sprinkle across the patches of his exposed skin. As if his once dirty blonde hair wasn’t crusted in layers of blood. As if his words meant nothing, weren’t worth enough to even consider. As if he didn’t lie the last time they spoke saw eachother about coming back to visit him.”

Humans are so cute. They think they can outsmart birds. They place nasty metal spikes on rooftops and ledges to prevent birds from nesting there.

It’s a classic human trick known in urban design as “evil architecture”: designing a place in a way that’s meant to deter others. Think of the city benches you see segmented by bars to stop homeless people sleeping there.

But birds are genius rebels. Not only are they undeterred by evil architecture, they actually use it to their advantage, according to a new Dutch study published in the journal Deinsea.

Crows and magpies, it turns out, are learning to rip strips of anti-bird spikes off of buildings and use them to build their nests. It’s an incredible addition to the growing body of evidence about the intelligence of birds, so wrongly maligned as stupid that “bird-brained” is still commonly used as an insult...

Magpies also use anti-bird spikes for their nests. In 2021, a hospital patient in Antwerp, Belgium, looked out the window and noticed a huge magpie’s nest in a tree in the courtyard. Biologist Auke-Florian Hiemstra of Leiden-based Naturalis Biodiversity Center, one of the study’s authors, went to collect the nest and found that it was made out of 50 meters of anti-bird strips, containing no fewer than 1,500 metal spikes.

Hiemstra describes the magpie nest as “an impregnable fortress.”

Pictured: A huge magpie nest made out of 1,500 metal spikes.

Magpies are known to build roofs over their nests to prevent other birds from stealing their eggs and young. Usually, they scrounge around in nature for thorny plants or spiky branches to form the roof. But city birds don’t need to search for the perfect branch — they can just use the anti-bird spikes that humans have so kindly put at their disposal.

“The magpies appear to be using the pins exactly the same way we do: to keep other birds away from their nest,” Hiemstra said.

Another urban magpie nest, this one from Scotland, really shows off the roof-building tactic:

Pictured: A nest from Scotland shows how urban magpies are using anti-bird spikes to construct a roof meant to protect their young and eggs from predators.

Birds had already been spotted using upward-pointing anti-bird spikes as foundations for nests. In 2016, the so-called Parkdale Pigeon became Twitter-famous for refusing to give up when humans removed her first nest and installed spikes on her chosen nesting site, the top of an LCD monitor on a subway platform in Melbourne. The avian architect rebelled and built an even better home there, using the spikes as a foundation to hold her nest more securely in place.

...Hiemstra’s study is the first to show that birds, adapting to city life, are learning to seek out and use our anti-bird spikes as their nesting material. Pretty badass, right?

The genius of birds — and other animals we underestimate

It’s a well-established fact that many bird species are highly intelligent. Members of the corvid family, which includes crows and magpies, are especially renowned for their smarts. Crows can solve complex puzzles, while magpies can pass the “mirror test” — the classic test that scientists use to determine if a species is self-aware.

Studies show that some birds have evolved cognitive skills similar to our own: They have amazing memories, remembering for months the thousands of different hiding places where they’ve stashed seeds, and they use their own experiences to predict the behavior of other birds, suggesting they’ve got some theory of mind.

And, as author Jennifer Ackerman details in The Genius of Birds, birds are brilliant at using tools. Black palm cockatoos use twigs as drumsticks, tapping out a beat on a tree trunk to get a female’s attention. Jays use sticks as spears to attack other birds...

Birds have also been known to use human tools to their advantage. When carrion crows want to crack a walnut, for example, they position the nut on a busy road, wait for a passing car to crush the shell, then swoop down to collect the nut and eat it. This behavior has been recorded several times in Japanese crows.

But what’s unique about Hiemstra’s study is that it shows birds using human tools, specifically designed to thwart birds’ plans, in order to thwart our plans instead. We humans try to keep birds away with spikes, and the birds — ingenious rebels that they are — retort: Thanks, humans!

Who is Kelly Crow? Have you ever noticed how the bounty posters say, “Kenny and Kelly Crow say only you can keep our nests safe”?  Kenny Crow is the familiar mascot of The Crows Nest diner but who is Kelly?  To find out you need to visit Altissia and buy the Fan Service decal from the JM Markets stall near The Leville. The description of the decal says that Kelly is an anime superstar and the dark angel side kick of Kenny Crow.  If you head to Hammerhead and get Cindy to apply the decal you can get to see what she looks like. With teal hair, black wings and a sword shaped like Kenny’s fries she would have made an interesting party member! All images copyright Square Enix Co Ltd.
