#birds like shiny things

[lucalicatteart]

A few silly little small sculptures that I made with some of the leftover clay from the main one I did recently

#sculpture #birds #neopets #sparkly little aishas my beloved..... #Though I actually kind of liked them with a matte finish more?? I wanted to try out making them sparkly and shiny..but #I think they might have looked better before adding all the shine. BUT I kind of like both. Maybe I should make two more that aren't shiny #just to have variation lol... an entire army of tiny aishas..... #The little house is so bad lol I hada headache at that point and kind of just wanted to get everything over with #(I bake the clay all at once so I had to get the smaller ones done to go with the main one) #and was like.. zero effort into making things line up or measuring at all. one window on one side is like twice as big as on the other lol #but I think from afar ifnot examined too closely it's still kind of cute. The birds were also just random like 'what can I shape out of thi #s small blob of clay I have leftover' etc. I did actually put irridescent eyeshaow on the pigeon but it just doesnt show up in photos ToT #The other bird is not anything in specific... some sort of random fantasy creature bird with slight purple on it's wings or something #The strawberry is exclusively just a quickly done accessory for the birds.. I wanted them to have a little meal to share #even though I dont know if birds eat strawberries #the last picture in the set is them all sitting on a shelf (the most well lit place I could find) but looks weird #since it has all of my avocado pit eyes in the background......... ominous backdrop for such peaceful little creachures.. #you kind of cant tell what they are from that angle though i guess lol

furry au part 3. a trinity of furry ghosts

part 1 + 2

#today’s batch finally introduces alison and mike: a fox and labrador respectively #it also includes side characters that weren’t included in previous parts: such as - jemima as a mouse. sophie as a deer. the plague ghosts #as a flock of sheep. lucy as a magpie and barclay as a rooster #alison as a fox bc they’re depicted in fairy tails as sneaky n sly but are also completely adorable #mike as a lab for obvious reasons #mouse jemima because she’s small and scared #deer sophie because they’re elegant but also surprisingly vicious (deer may eat small mammals like birds and mice to get certain nutrients) #plague ghost sheep since they always stick together and r quite humble #magpie lucy - drawn to shiny things #rooster barclay obsessed with the sound of his own voice #bbc ghosts #julian fawcett #the captain ghosts #mike cooper #jemima ghosts #pat butcher #humphrey bone #sophie bone #the plague ghosts #fanny button #lucy ghosts #alison cooper #barclay beg chetwynde #thomas thorne #<- bonus thomas doodle #yes i know it’s way out of scale. at this point idc i just want to call it done

THE TRINKETS WERE FROM HIM??? Dude. That adds like, a whole new level of creepy. I didn’t even realize.

one of my biggest goals with nexus aside from writing gratuitous smut was for the second reading of the story to make you go "ooooooooh."

there's a lot of things like that sprinkled throughout, but the trinket detail is one of my favorites. similar to xiao, i imagine blade being the type to leave little doodads as a sign of affection. it's low risk, high reward. out of all the characters i write for, blade is probably one of the worst at expressing care 😭 he is a mess. has no idea what he's doing. he doesn't want to know, either.

#the difference between xiao and blade though #is that xiao gives you rocks or shiny things like sea glass #because Bird energy #blade prefers ornaments/jewelry/pretty trinkets #pick your poison #nexus #answered #Anonymous

what do you guys think revali and link's love languages are?

for revali, it's absolutely words of affirmation but i'd also like to propose quality time as his "secret" love language. nobody wouldn't expect this stuck up birdie to be a sucker for doing things like flying together or napping in a hammock together, but once you think about it more, it makes more sense. and revali's arrogance and irritation are significantly quelled after getting back from a training session at the flight range or fishing in the hebra plunge with link.

for link, it's most certainly physical touch and i propose his "secret" one as acts of service. i love the headcanon that rito "kiss" by pressing their foreheads together and nuzzling each other or whatever, but i think link is the #1 rito kiss enthusiast. at this point, everyone in rito village has seen link on his tiptoes cupping revali's face in his teeny little hylian hands to initiate a rito kiss and revali's squawking and complaining, but ultimately returns the gesture much to link's delight.

i love the idea of revali braiding and doing hair maintenance on link as part of their nightly routine, or link looking for his weapons because where the fuck did they go until he finds revali in their shared roost, polishing his shields and retying his bow strings, all of his quivers fully stocked of regular and elemental arrows. revali is still quite bristly and blunt, so he's all mumbling embarrassed at being caught doing something sweet for his mate like, "it's incredibly dumbfounding that they still call you the hero of hyrule when your idea of weapon maintenance is sliding your blades against a rock like a bokoblin" or "i see now why you go through bows within a moon as quickly as you eat. you aren't changing your bow strings out and you're just using them until they snap! were i any less disturbingly infatuated with you, i'd dissolve our coupling for such atrocious behaviors." link just smiles at him, fond and warm, and any irritation revali feels dissipates into the air as he returns to the weapons, his feathers ruffling and muttering under his breath.

oop. now i feel like writing fic for this. 😳

#loz #botw #loz botw #legend of zelda #revalink #revali be like Tell me i'm a good boy and also surgically attached me to your side so we're always together #link be like Please let me eat ur face and if u do one (1) nice thing for me i'll cry #i also considered gift giving as revali's “Secret” love language #but i think that should be a characteristic for all ritos because. bird. #revali will literally bring home a shard from a rusted blade and link is just like. Revali what am i gonna do with this #and revali's like idk but it was shiny so #so not only does link deal with (1) praise kink and (2) separation anxiety #he also deals with “revali i don't have any more space in my jewelry box for this” #“if you disapprove of my gift of courtship to you i would prefer that you say it directly” #“revali these are DIAMOND earrings where did you even get this from” #“... i had a favor with daruk and urbosa's jewelry maker.” #“REVALI. 🥹” #and then link rito-kisses him mwah happy ending i love gays in love #amihan's revalinkverse

so, apollo who has swan, white that shine golden in the sunlight, full-sized wings on his back

(among the other birds like raven or hawk, swans are also sacred to him)

by full-sized I mean "big enough to make him fly if needed" wings

#toa #apollo #pjo #and sometimes he acts like a bird #especially while lester-time #and on rainy days #he loves shiny things #while being mortal (especially during thunderstorms/rain) he would almost second-handly try to cover meg from the rain woth his wings #but then remember that he doesn't have them anymore #he could have scars from the wings on his back #or tatoos on his paddles #like the cool angel wings #of course after re-gaining immortality the wings would be back on their places #i just imagine him doing the wing-cleaning routine like a disheveled bird #meg mccaffrey #sunflower siblings #lester papadopoulos #kind of #m-a-d; winged lester!apollo

the thought of zhongli having to explain modern courtship to xiao is EXTREMELY cute... thank you

RIGHT... i think zhongli would still be a bit behind the times (as he seems to prefer tradition), but he certainly knows much more about the act of courtship than xiao does. i think xiao's little bird brain that rests in the back of his mind would make him partial to giving gifts/acts of service as courtship. which would be great and all... if he actually talked to chubby reader. zhongli can help him with that aspect.

#genshin impact.txt #xiao x reader #bird brain be like: bring shiny things. make cool nest. show a Display of Adequacy to Show I Am A Suitable Mate. dance?

back in like march? i think? @britebuck convinced me to make a pokesona specifically of a legendary pokemon [my normal one is nidorinx] so i made the world's shittiest most off brand disgraceful ho-oh and had an Immense amount of fun with it for the like two weeks it occupied my brain

it even comes with lore

+origin for the 'name'

and some other misc. fun doodles

this one was gonna be a bigger thing with it defending some rando from ghestis but i didnt get farther than this.

it may have learned 'no' from people frequently yelling at it to fuck off, but by the same quirk it also answers to 'no' when someome's like, indiscriminately screaming for help

i also wanted to do one abt it reviving peoples pets if they're brought to it but did not get 2 it at all. sad

#also yes it's partially shiny lol. on the underside only #i like to think thats part of the reason it keeps its wings closed most of the time #arting #pokesona #ho-oh #<-only putting it in the tag bc this thing is underloved and doesnt get much content i think. hello ho-oh fans. i made him awful. #someday i may post this properly if i ever get to the last two things but dont ever count on that #pokemon said heres this very very elusive very very sacred bird and i was like what if god just bummed around town and yelled at airplanes. #i like to think it's more or less a beloved local nuisance #the novelty and benefits of having it around outweigh the cons of the occasional trash raid #people still bring it food offerings at its tower in hopes of getting it to stop that but it's only questionably effective

I was thinking about Sandman because I literally can't stop thinking about it since I watched the show...

And I was thinking about Jessamy and how she waited, and plotted, and bided time until she could enact a plan to just get to Dream. To show him that he isn't alone, to try to get to him, to get him out.

And we get Dream's reaction, that tentative hopeful and surprised smile, reaching out, the smile fading almost like he's trying to comfort her and tell her that it's alright, he knows she can't get him out, that it's enough to know that she's there and he wants her to be safe. If there had been more time before Alex came down to the basement, I could imagine Dream would have tried to have her leave, that he'd rather she didn't get caught down here or hurt or killed, but they didn't. They just shared that last moment of adrenaline and desperation and connection before Alex shot her.

And she died.

And we know that the ravens were once mortals, so Jessamy was a human, so would Death come to retrieve her? Or are the ravens meant to reside in the Dreaming when they die? What does Dream's imprisonment mean for that?

Going off of the possibility that Death would come to collect Jessamy when she dies, I imagined Jessamy rising again, standing in her incorporeal human from the raven body on the floor, still in that state of desperation, running to the glass cage and beating her hands on it, shouting that she is going to get him out, that she cant leave him here alone with these people, begging Death to do something as Death walks in and convinces her that it's time, that her service has ended.

We saw that Dream could see the interactions that Death had with the deceased, so maybe he could see Jessamy. Maybe his tears were partially due to seeing Jessamy and Death there. Maybe Jessamy was begging Dream to just ask Death for help, just put his pride aside for one second, but his eyes were just caught on Jessamy's body as Alex collected it up and he couldn't. And Death took Jessamy and left and Dream was alone again.

Anyways, it's just interesting to see the wounds left after Jessamy was killed, where you can sort of see the outline of where their relationship once was, and we don't really get much of Jessamy, just the comparisons to what Dream has with Matthew now and (theoretically) Lucienne, if she was still previously one of his ravens also. Since he isn't really someone with a lot of close connections, fleshing out those he did have is fun. But hurts a little.

She's such a pretty smart bird. 🐦

#the sandman #jessamy #dream of the endless #morpheus #just the way he talks about her makes it feel like she must have been a long and trusted companion #i wonder too about lucienne if theyd been friends #if she grieved losing jessamy too and having matthew around hurt in a different way #or if there was an understanding like she knows that the ravens arent forever that theyre more fragile and vulnerable #idk theres just love for jessamy and she was a pretty smart bird #i hope she gets all the shiny nice things in the afterlife #the sandman netflix

//Actually, while I'm still thinking about little details and stuff, Lambda's collection of stuff he has. There's not much of a reason why he has so many trinkets and stuff. He simply saw something, he liked it, he had to have it.

It's gotten to the point where his collection of stuff has their own sub-collections.

#//i mean yeah there's the element of lambda making up for the things he never had #//however it's a little silly when it's a collection of gbas or gbcs or flip phones from the 2000s #//ESPECIALLY the phones #//heaven help him if he's pointed towards cell phones from other countries at the time #//he's obsessed with the tech with that time for real #//he's like a bird hoarding shiny rocks but its phones instead hgdnjgfng #backup log {ooc}

Would you take barely rendered sketchies from me of the ghouls and papas? Would you still love me if I refused to color?

#me looking at my last couple drawings with full color like #tries to strangle my own shadow #I like rendering SHINY THINGS but if it not shiny WHAT IS THE POINT? #I'm a bird. I know. #i ghost wrote this #it's 10:30 in the morning. I'm on my second cup of coffee. I'm monotonously screaming into the void
