Big cat

#ft my poorly drawn monstera leaves for vibe #I was thinking abt shinx and luxray like. I know theyre supposed to be lions but I feel like cheetah or serval would work well too #like with electricity and stuff. wouldnt speed and agility make more sense for an electric type? esp a cat shaped electric type? #maybe it would be ok for luxray to be heavy built because itd be really big by then. but I thought hey it would be cool if its preevolutions #could focus on speed for escaping. escaping and hunting yknow #maybe this is just because I watched a cheetah documentary last night and thought they were cool #I also have a hc that luxray can charge up electricity and make its whole body glow like an x ray #like you can see it’s bones through the blue parts of skin. either as a threat display or courtship #the shinier and bluer the fur is the better you can see the bones. which would mean its feeding itself well #but Im not a biology expert Im just using what I learned from birds LOL #so sososo normal abt luxray line (is my favorite pokemon) #my art #myart #pokemon #illustration #shinx #Luxio #luxray #luxray line

nbc hannibal is so funny cause instead of the show ending when will realizes what hannibal is he just decides he thinks it's hot

#& then the next two seasons consist of cannibal psychiatrist and his profiler-patient running circles around the fbi as a courtship display #nick.txt #hannibal #will graham #hannigram

Considering how Lambchop is, is it safe to confirm Stella is a little "freakayyy?"

I mean.... she did bloody up the streets for him.

(I love you work by the way you're a huge inspiration.)

(Thank you so much I'm very happy about that!! ♡)

It depends on what we classify as "freaky" haha XD Stella doesn't like blood or guts at all, but she does like seeing Lambchop happy. So she tries her best to make him happy even if her attempts can be a little misguided!

Very happy you pointed out her bloody-ing up the streets for him though. I feel like it's often overlooked, but it's a pretty grand gesture that I don't think you'd do for anyone unless you cared about them a whole lot

(And even though she dislikes him killing others...what Lambchop is doing is in itself a pretty grand gesture as well just to vie for her attention...but now I'm going off on a tangent!)

#here in noisrev our courtship consists of intricate bloody acts as a display of affection /j #/hj #sweet no death #stellamb #witchywool #stella #lambchop #ask

whats your favorite fact about nonavian dinosaurs? (About litteraly any nonavian under the sun)

As far as we can tell, the vast majority of all dinosaurs - including birds - are/were flamboyant as hell

So many structures we see in dinosaur bones are display structures

Feathers evolved first for warmth second for display

Living birds put all other courtship rituals to shame

Dinosaurs are fabulous, everyone. Absolutely fabulous.

Fancy freaks!

Hyjallan Chinchilla Jackelope... native to the high alpine regions, and notorious for antler-butting anyone who dares to accidentally intrude upon their leks during the breeding season.

(credit goes to @nicadilly for inspiring this creature, and also being the root cause of my ongoing Chinchilla Obsession)

#chinchilla #mythical creatures #bestiary #jackelope #the arcana game #yes i know this is *only tangentially* Arcana-related at this point but i’m TAGGING IT ANYWAY #i wanna imagine that Finch and Cas have specifically traveled up the mountains together #to view the chinchillalopes’ silly courtship displays

oh sometimes i'm overcome with the realization of just how sentimental a bitch i am

like i really am straight up just playing make-believe with these characters like they're digital barbies

okay so in Iona's inventory, i've had this necklace

since very early in act 1.

it was in Aradin's chest at the Grove, and it was the first thing "we" managed to get with the "I distract them with conversation/busking and you steal everything that isn't nailed down" act/trick I had thought up for her and Astarion. I thought it'd be kinda cute for him to, at the end of this test run, present it with a ~theatrical flourish~ once just out of earshot of its original owner, and for her to ~graciously allow~ him to drape it around her neck, as a hamfisted and silly act of mock-courtship they both know is false. (it was kind of a... "we both know what this is all about and where it's headed, but wouldn't it be fun to play make-believe and pretend it's something entirely different" type of thing.)

I thought it'd be cute, if a touch bittersweet for her to keep it, just slotted away in her little "sentimental items" pouch, like.... next to the dog toy, her old wedding band, and the other useless junk she couldn't bring herself to throw away or sell.

and then today, i found this as I was selling stuff in the Glittering Gala.

it's the same design. and i like to describe Iona's eyes as "amber" when I write about them (they're kind of a reddish/yellowish, pretty medium brown). and she looks much better in golds and reds than she does in blues and silvers.

so. um.

guess who got this bloody thing "sneaked" into her inventory at the long rest.

if you think i won't 1.) exit a trading screen abruptly, 2.) switch controlled characters, 4.) buy a silly and utterly useless junk item AS that character (thought about just picking her pocket but.... we have 35k gold. why would i.), and 4.) keep it in that character's inventory until it "seems like" the PC isn't "paying attention", and then 5.) drop it into their inventory "unnoticed", all for LITERALLY NO GOOD REASON other than just to act out a silly little gesture and support the little fanfic in my head, well.

you'd be very wrong.

((and i was grinning and giggling downright embarrassingly the whole time too))

#squirrel plays bg3 #oc: iona raedir #“astarion isn't the type to do romantic gestures” false #“he does big thoughtful acts of courtship and sweeps the pc off their feet” also false #it is my belief that he isn't the type to do Big Flashy Romantic Things #and is also not the type to be vocal about them #my headcanon is that he'll do the Big Declarations and Theatrical Displays when he's taking the piss in some way #as in he'll joke and play at- and exaggerate courtship when it's all for fun and show and means nothing or very little #but when it's supposed to actually MEAN something; when it's REAL; then the ways he shows love are both small #and done without fanfare or expecting acknowledgement #not even making the slightest effort to keep hands to themselves even in public is fun of course; but the love? #that's in... a pilfered piece of that fruit she likes found randomly in her pack. a swift dagger batting aside a blade meant for her ribs #a small scratch of a pen's tip subtly marking a sweet passage in the book she “borrowed” from him #or in this case; it's something that she found among her things and put on without making a fuss about it #at least not beyond a knowing glance shared; a soft smile exchanged; and her fingers absently fiddling with the stones throughout the day #if she wasn't wearing the guidance-amulet (useful) i'd probably actually equip it on her like i did the silver one for the longest time ngl #because like i said; i'm a sentimental bitch playing make-believe with my little toys

Creature 64

Greater lophorina

Also known as the Superb bird of paradise, this bird inhabits the rainforests of New Guinea. The low amount of females of the species causes the males to really have to compete for a mate, thus the greater lophorina have one of the most elaborate courtship displays of all birds. It takes around 4-7 years for males to develop the feathers used in their courtship displays.

You: Haha my little dog has a crush on my big dog. It's funny because she's bigger than him.

Anon: OH SO YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY? YOU THINK IT'S HOT AND SEXY? YOU THINK HE WANTS TO FUCK HER? STOP BEING A NASTY FREAK PERVERT

I mean he's also a newly minted neutered teenage male and she's an intact female so he probably does want to fuck her on some level, she's just oblivious and he can't reach 🤷‍♂️ Because she's infinitely larger than him. That's just nature baybee!!!

I'm allowed to think it's kind of silly that my little dog is infinitely more interested in the largest eligible bachlorette of the house than either of the appropriately-sized ones since they're all intact females and one was just in heat.

#dw they're supervised and I separated her when she was actually receptive #don't need any oopsies and YES neutered males can still impregnant for a little while after surgery #not taking any chances sorry #he never like... actively tried #but he did do a lot of things males do to see if the female will accept him #jokes on him Sushi does not seem to understand courtship behavior in the slightest #as I said to a friend the thing about Sushi is she's too stupid to be a bad dog #she just kind of watches courtship displays with a 24/7 ?????? face #conversely Fae and Tater were obsessed with Boone and would flag for him #and he similarly went '??????? ok I guess' #himbo energy I swear

[heyassbuttlmao]

not my prof showing us a photo of spiders having sex and a video of a spider doing a courtship display im. make it stop. i don't like spiders. show us bird sex or something idc about the sex part just make the spiders go away

#i do love this prof and i am not actually upset but. make it stop! #i am staring at my computer instead of the lecture slides lmao #this is. blergh. i am very scared of spiders #even in a very silly context of a spider doing a fucking courtship display which is objectively not scary #i don't want to SEE the spider

I looked up all the birds Brennan was asked to name in that round, starting with the greater sage-grouse because I had the same reaction Brennan did of “This is not a real bird”

And I am pleased to announce that the boy ones have boobies

#(they are sacs that inflate during courtship displays) #in Brennan’s defense they only really live in the western half of North America and he’s from New York #I’ve certainly never seen one of these beasts but I’m not from their native habitat either

[cyberpawn-arc]

fun spidey vale thing: they're very showy with their powers and poses and most things as they got bit by a jumping spider. They did, in fact, inherit the need to be Extra and Get Attention in order to impress others

#Out of Cybernetics: OOC #context: jumping spiders do lil courtship displays like dances #Verse: Spidey
