this afternoon i was reading a book called, hilariously enough, The Genius of Birds by Jennifer Ackerman. there's a part in it about about how performing a song well releases pleasure-inducing hormones in the brains of certain songbirds, and that those birds may sometimes use their songs to ease physical discomfort.

so now i have a new headcanon that berdly likes to sing and sing to himself sometimes! i can totally imagine him humming his own motif or something, what a dork.

#berdly #deltarune #i think it would be cool if he actually had a pretty singing voice. let him be good at one thing at least #the idea of him singing a theme song he made up for himself to the melody of his leitmotif in the soundtrack is just so berdly you know? #it's this perfect combination of avian behavior big ego and adorable dorkiness #and drama. he's a huge drama king

I’ve decided on most of the birds I’m doing. As you’ve already seen Giovanni is a chicken, but also

Molly is a black-throated sparrow, mostly cause tiny and cute, but their songs are just lovely too

Indus is a shoebill stork. He’s definitely dueled against crocodiles

Mera is a frigatebird, their bones are lighter than their feathers!

Zora is a bearded vulture. Eats bones, and terrifying but gorgeous eyes.

And Percy is a cerulean warbler! Cause. Blu :)

guardian ren

ok so i May have started writing a bit for guardian!ren and then it kind of got away with me (also some cat!grian towards the end, and a bit of avian!mumbo because i can't help myself). so. please enjoy and there Will Be More :]

There’s a reason why Ren wears sunglasses, and there’s a reason why he’s the king. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. 

“Are- do you like them, sire?” Bdubs asks as Ren turns the diamond sunglasses over in his hands, the stone cool against his skin. With the blue tint they’ll provide, it’ll almost be like he’s back again, in amongst the stone and faint light and almost-perfect silence. He holds the glasses up to his own eyes, stares into the lenses. They weigh less than he thought they might, but- no, wait, there’s the telltale purple enchantment shimmer. His current glasses - tinted black, for when he first emerged and the sun made his eyes ache - are heavy on the bridge of his nose, almost always slipping down just the tiniest amount. Not like they really have anything to rest on beyond his face.

(Where Ren’s ears should be is only a mass of hair, sticking upwards like the ears of a dog. It’s a good thing no-one’s ever tried to pet him like one; he isn’t certain they’ll like what they feel there).

Ren shakes himself, shoots a grin at Bdubs. Of course he noticed that his glasses were slipping, so he enchanted them to make them lighter. Feather-falling isn’t just good for boots, apparently.

“Absolutely, my dude! It’s super thoughtful of you. Thanks!”

Bdubs looks at Ren, unmoving. Ren looks at Bdubs, also unmoving. 

“Um, are you- are you going to put them on, sire?” he asks tentatively, and internally Ren curses.

“Oh! Oh, yeah, sure thing but- ah-” he stammers, searching for an excuse, something-

“I should put them on alone first,” he finishes lamely. “Ceremonial, right? All my subjects witnessing me in my new gear at the same time?”

Bdubs’ face falls and Ren wishes that he could tell him the truth - take off his glasses, take off the crown, fall before him and take his hands and tell him I’m sorry, it isn’t you, I’m just trying to protect you but he doesn’t. Bdubs bows deeply and leaves the throne room, shutting the door behind him, and Ren buries his face in his hands and sighs. 

The climb to the beacon is more difficult than he remembers. Then again, he still isn’t used to the diamond-encrusted robe and the weight of the crown on his head, but even so, when he reaches it he has to pause for a moment, survey the lands.

Under his kingship, the server is cleaning up. The redistribution of diamonds is working well, and it seems folks aren’t just completing his quests, but enjoying them too. Of course, there’s talk of a rebellion on the horizon, but frankly if there wasn’t talk of one, he’d start getting worried. They’re happy. More than that, they’re safe. 

That’s the duty of a king, isn’t it? Courage in battle, making strategic plans, governing frugally and governing generously, all of that stems from one simple goal: keep your people safe. 

A king is a warrior, a strategist, a friend, a protector of his people.

Ren tilts his head up, the beacon’s beam thrumming deeply next to him, shooting a bright beam of pure white into the heavens. He closes his eyes, and with one shaking hand (the other clutched so tightly to his new glasses that he’s thankful they’re made of diamond) he removes his old sunglasses.

A king is just a guardian by a different name. 

Ren opens his eyes.

“Grian,” Mumbo calls distantly. “Did- did you see that?”

With a herculean effort, Grian forces himself to stop batting at the hanging vines dangling from his bridge and latches onto them instead, clawing his way up to where Mumbo stands. His brow is furrowed slightly, and his wings (dusty grey-black, fading to red at the tips) are fluffed up the smallest amount. Grian’s ear twitches, but he manages to ignore the instinct for now. He can sneak-attack Mumbo later. 

“See what?” he asks nonchalantly.

“That,” Mumbo points, nodding towards Ren’s castle. “The beacon. For a second- I don’t know. I might’ve been seeing things.”

“No, you can’t just leave me with that! What did you see?” Grian pesters, tail flicking from side to side. 

“I’m really not sure,” Mumbo replies. “But it looked like- like, for just a second, there was a second beacon beam.”

“Huh,” says Grian. “Weird.”

And then he sneak-attacks Mumbo, of course.

Turul

Turul

Description & Mythological History

One of the most stunning and mystical symbols in Hungarian mythology is the turul bird. The origin of this legendary bird goes back to prehistoric Hungary. It is the relic of ancient Hungarian faith, the embodiment of the superior powers as well as the monarchical sovereignty. It is also the ancient symbol of national identity and togetherness. Furthermore, it symbolises the Holy Spirit that guarded Hungarians in ancient times.

This mystical bird is still very close to Hungarians’ hearts. The turul is a popular figure in Hungarian folklore; however, it is unclear whether it actually exists/existed in nature. Legends have it that the bird played an important role in the birth of the Turul clan, a Hungarian dynasty which was later mistakenly called Árpád clan. The depiction of the bird also aimed to emphasize the divine origins of all the succeeding kings of this dynasty. 

Turul.info, a website that aims to collect all the information regarding early Hungarian history, presents many written pieces about the time when the Magyars conquered the Carpathian Basin in 896 AD as well as the following centuries. This era is not really part of today’s historic public consciousness. The website goes into fascinating details on the legend of the turul as well.

Getting back to the mythological bird, the story of the Turul dynasty’s foundation is rather ambiguous. According to legends, ancient chronicles and folklore tales, the dynasty can be traced back to Nimród, the first Hungarian king who ruled after the flood. Álmos, ruler of the Hungarian tribes, and his offsprings were very proud to tie their origin to Attila, ruler of the Huns, and the Turul clan. Their myths had been preserved by the chroniclers for centuries to come.

The Turul myth, also called Emese’s dream is one of the oldest Hungarian folk tales. Its birth originates back to 860-870 AD. As the myth of the Turul dynasty (Árpád dynasty) was unconditionally believed to be genuine, it was even written into the Chronicon Pictum, a medieval illustrated chronicle from the second half of the fourteenth century. Even though the date of the first written publication of the myth is unclear, it is known that the text that appears in the Chronicon Pictum was based on an earlier source and was noted down by Anonymus, the notary and chronicler of Béla III., 12th-century Hungarian king. Interestingly, nearly all Hungarian people have heard about one of the many titles of the myth, but the word ‘turul’ does not appear in either of the stories. This is just one mystery surrounding the legend. 

According to the myth, Emese was the wife of Ügyek (Ügek) and the mother of Álmos, the head of one of the 7 Hungarian tribes who led their people to the Carpathian Basin, where Hungary stands now. The turul bird emerged in her dream in which there was a river flowing from Emese’s uterus that expanded into a foreign land. The dream was interpreted in a way that she was going to give birth to a boy, who would then lead his nation from their homeland, Levédia to a new prosperous country. It was also forecasted that his son’s offsprings would become glorious kings. 

But what kind of bird the turul was? Turul.info writes that historians still cannot settle on one opinion. Of course, the bird’s mythological origin does not exclude the chance that it actually exists/existed in nature. All historians agree on the fact that it was a predatory bird, but they cannot seem to be able to determine the exact species. The most plausible theory says that it was a falcon; however, there were many predatory birds in the region that the ancestors lived. Therefore, the mystery remains unsolved. 

Even though uncertainties persist regarding the existence of the bird, linguists can exactly pinpoint the origin of the word ‘turul’. According to scholars, the word is of Turkish origin and comes from ‘togrul/ tugrul’ which means ‘gerfalcon’ and ‘the favourite predatory bird with excellent characteristics’. 

“Long live the Hungarians, never let them fall! The turul bird guards its nation and defends them from all.”
