Me on a normal day: Man, all ducks are so great. Just seeing any duck or goose is a highlight. Sure I've got some favorites, but at the end of the day, any duck is a good duck :)

I made human designs for a color changed trio. Btw, here my headcanons on them:
Blue - typical emo teen. even if he tries to hide it, he is more sensitive than the original
Red - if original is a cynic, than this is a full on nihilist. talks a lot about politics and philosophy. always in a bad mood.
Green - hyperactive. talks a lot, but has the same knowledge and understanding as the original, and also while keeping the same level of optimism and nativity, which annoys red.
Also, I reworked my original human designs. I've changed some colors and little details here and there. I think, now I'm more pleasant with them that I ever was 😊

Round 2 match 4A
The Fulvous Whistling Duck, named for its tawny or "fulvous" colouration and whistling call, is one of two North American whistling duck species. They are commonly found in rice fields and marshes, where they spend their time foraging on vegetation.
The Redhead looks similar to the related Canvasback, but can be distinguished by its round head with less sloping forehead. Additionally, female Redheads have darker brown sides than female Canvasbacks. The bill is distinctive and tricoloured, being grey at the base with a white ring just before the black tip.

Perry + The Thing™ he does with his hands 1/?
This is a project I’ve wanted to do for a while… Perry fidgets with his hands so often- I think he does it every episode :D (that he’s in) so, I want to get a shot from every episode he does it :] (which could very well possibly be every one)
He fidgets and paces so much, I almost want to say it’s unintentional representation :D (since I do both those things)
I’ll do it in batches of five gifs per post, and I will do all seasons… which may be a bit of a problem, since I haven’t watched the full series yet, but I will do it :] I’m committed
