#calling out my bird on this one

[mostlybirdsandphotos]

a sora!!

my first time seeing one, and it was so casual that everyone who saw it was astonished—for such a notoriously shy bird it spent a lot of time out in the open, even getting so close my camera couldn't focus on it anymore! it was a lifer for quite a few people last morning ( ˙꒳​˙ )

I really enjoyed watching it hop around looking for bugs and flicking its tail, and watching it disappear into the grass only to pop out instantly much further than I would have expected. it's also a lot smaller than I expected, only about the size of the red-winged blackbirds!

#my photography! #bird photography #birding #birds #sora #it was such a fun morning #though one of the birders there kept using recorded calls to try and lure it out which I'm not a huge fan of #it was admittedly very cool to hear it respond #even though I missed the bird I had actually gone to see (seems like they've migrated through already) #I'm super happy and I got tips on where to find the other bird year round to boot! #I have so many more photos brace yourself

HOW COULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO DROWN YOURSELF IN JOY *music music catchy music fun music*

#playchoices #I didn’t include the ES ones cause they weren’t about calling MC inexperienced (plus they were potentially pet names for longer) #but feel free to consider them for ‘other’ if you found them condescending #anyway these are the main ones off the top of my head #so for me it’s a tie between baby bird and landrat (rookie is god-awful but hear me out) #because i only played like 1 chapter of the roommates book but baby bird pissed me tf off cause it’s clunky and not even clever #and I loathe landrat becaude duh it’s awful but literally everyone else in the crew is a land dweller #so why is MC the only one getting called this shit?? we are TWO books in use their damn name #I could MAYBE get it for an orc MC who’s disconnected from the sea (and even then the rat bit is rude) but otherwise it's like #'Yes Imtura. We are land dwellers. We are literally on land rn. YOU'RE the odd one out. You're gonna have to get used to that.' #for someone who calls out other species' biases so much she really does act like the orcish lifestyle is the standard

the sun is my best friend it is so nice and warm and also there are so many bugs outside i am having the time of my life sitting in the grass rn

#was going to do schoolwork out here but for whatever reason my long abandoned(?) gravedigging lawlight fic was calling to me #so that's what i;m doing rn it is very fun one of the cats was with me but he left bc he's a black tabby and it's too warm for him which i #get it is p warm out here but i am like eternally cold so it's nice i'm enjoying it also i have seen soooo many bugs i'm happy they're back #there are wasps and butterflies and bees and ants and all sorts of bugs and the grass is so green and there are redbuds blossoming and #there's a nice wind and i get to write about light being psychologically tortured and no people are here to bother me #except for the guy on a call across the ditch but he's quieter than the birds so it's okay and also i can hear a woodpecker somewhere

the father-daughter relationships where they start off pointing their weapons at each other not liking the other to literally flying home together in the span of like…two days. or less. no but really. I’m dying over here.

#HIM CALLING HER LITTLE BIRD?:?:!?;:?;’vdv?:?:? #AND THEN BIRDIE?:?;??:?;? #‘were you going to give me to them?’ #‘no.’ #him thanking her for helping with his arm 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #AND THEM TALKING ABOUT STREAMER GIRL???? AND THE SMILE ON HIS FACE????? #‘I shouldn’t tell you unless you read it someday’ #‘seems I must’ #‘you must think I’m strange’ #‘not at all. it’s quite impressive’ 😭😭😭😭😭 #‘well you can’t…you can’t think like that. you go down that path it’s…it’s not good. you need someone to blame- blame me’ im blubbering. #‘my name is cee’ #‘ITS NICE TO MEET YOU CEE’ #him saying hold it like you love it and remembering that parallel on here to Joel ep6 talking about squeezing the trigger #that one guy was probably gonna kill her (and him) but Ezra said ain’t no way you’re hurting a hair on her head #‘you run fast and you don’t stop’ AND HE GETS SO CLOSE I SWEAR THEIR HELMETS TOUCH #‘YOU NEED TO GO. YOU GRAB THE GUN YOU GO. YOU CAN MAKE IT.

Episode 10 after Daemon chokes Rhaenyra and she says “he never told you? Did he?” Then tries to laugh it off makes me wanna punch her like Rhaenyra if it looks a like duck and quacks like a duck it’s a duck. Oblivious he didn’t fucking tell him like what?? And people say she was a bad ass for laughing it’s just sad how delulu people say about team black and Rhaenyra like it’s so bad

That scene really shows that they aren’t close like that. You mean to tell me that in the six years they’ve been married she not once brought up this oh some important prophecy that details the very fate of Westeros and the reason why Rhaenyra(or her line or whatever) is ordained to be its savior🙃

She not once thought to bring it up? She never questions why her husband hasn’t brought it up?

She does not know her husband all that well and she doesn’t share much with him either.

The only thing they probably do is have dry a** sex where Rhaenyra disassociates and pretends she’s back with Harwin and Daemon pretends he’s balls deep in Viserys backdoor 🤣, thus creating more succession crises waiting to happen, and talk sh*t about the greens🤷🏽‍♀️

Her gloating over her husband in this way is so weird. How anyone thinks she would make a good queen when she’s stuck on Nanana, daddy loved me better than you mode boggles the mind.

#like this bird doesn’t know her husband at all #soulmates where? #how is someone your soulmate and you don’t share/talk about important info with them #they aren’t intimate in that way #no wonder why Rhaena calls Rhaenyra princess or my queen #none of them are close like that #bnask #bnasks #one also has to ask the question how close daemon has come to choking her out before #because she obvious likes gloating over this man and making him mad

anyone else have the weirdest and most vivid dreams between snooze buttons

#it felt important so I'm documenting it #I went to walk around my neighborhood and it was pouring rain #I was wearing pajamas but it was okay #my neighbors were walking alongside me until they split off #and I kept going and crossed over a wide artificial river #there were kids watching it and they all walked away except one who rode a tiny bike #the mailman called out to me by name and told me to come back later #the line at the coffee shop was too long so i kept walking #i walked past a class of schoolchildren. their teacher stopped me and asked for directions to the arby's. i told her it was up the hill #they were going on a field trip #i kept walking #the buildings across the street were taller and there were huge trees that seemed the height of the sky #i saw a bird and stopped to watch it. the rain didn't bother me #(it never does in real life either) #and someone stopped to watch the bird with me #and i was ready to go home and then my alarm went off

Oh? Dororo, you have a phone?

I think our phones are connected to the Kero Ball, or something like that? I've not looked into it much, to be honest.

#sgt frog #keroro gunso #doropost #i do have an app called inaturalist on here! #it's very useful for telling little brown birds apart from one another :) #and the wide variety of plants all around us too! #ah sorry i don't mean to gush! but my peers aren't really as interested in such things as i am #-d66 #and now a word from our host: #i wanted to add more stuff but it just didnt work out that way #but i was able to add a photo of zeroyasha soooo its all good :) doggy! #also i did trace part of koyuki from her official ref. im sorry. drawing her wasnt working out #anyway frog phones very much follow the roger rabbit rule. they exist when i think its funny #top secret insider info giroro is listed as giroro-chan in dororo's phone #giroro does not know this and would vehemently object to it while 'secretly' thinking its really sweet and cute #doror phone lore. #edit zeroyasha came out pretty crosseyed huh... sorry ouppy

Mmmm I had the most delicious October day. I was out with my pup in the woods when we came across a barred owl hunting a chipmunk between a few trees. The chipmunk talkin up a storm and dancing around, owl swooping and jumping after him, while keeping an eye on my whereabouts as well. Which of course was entertaining enough on its own, but then the biggest freakin raven I’ve ever seen in my life swoops down onto the same tree! Followed by a flock of very noisy steller’s seemingly out of nowhere! All of this on the backdrop of autumn leaves and slivers of golden sunlight weaving through the trees made for quite a dramatic scene. Owl seemed rather disturbed by the chaos so I do believe dear Chippy lived to see another day. I really feel like the luckiest girl in the world to get to witness things like this :)

#raven was making some calls i don’t always hear from him tooooo which was so sweet. i love birds so much. #to some this might sound like a really freaky omen of sorts but i swear ravens are my guardian angels. and i know owl is aware of me but #we aren’t that close. i haven’t figured them out yet i suppose. they always see me before i see them though. #i don’t think they’re often seen without their consent. if you see one it’s because they’ve allowed it. anyway. :))) #i was getting emotionally prepared for a brutal death i wasn’t going to interfere or anything. it’s really none of my business. #i’m just so glad to have gotten a front row seat to such a show. i really needed it today. thank you <3 #home

sometimes you’ll think about queer existence as it pertains to storytelling and mythologies and you just have to sit down for a bit because it’s so cool and so endlessly deep and you’ll never hit an end to where queerness is embedded into the core of who we are

#queer stuff #queer mythology #queer culture #my favourite of these is queer temporality #whenever i think about queer temporality my whole damn body tingles #also today: genderqueer-klinger pointed out how queer euphemisms are in several languages connected to flight (faires #fairies* birds etc) #here we are a bunch of animals and we build stories and we call one part of these stories queerness #and it's so so so good and Cool

today was a Beautiful Day

#contact call #saw them sitting on the water through the scope and thought they were auks #then they took off and i could see those lovely long wings and my heart LIFTED #WE ARE BACK IN SHEARWATER BUSINESS BABEY #oh yeah i saw some distant basking sharks too! #which is why i had the scope out in the first place #cool sharks and cool birds all in one day

I’m fucking disabled

#I had this conversation with my therapist last week. I’ll give you the secret HIPAA breaking rundown #I HATE calling myself disabled #I don’t know why. there’s no shame in it. it’s just ya know it’s just what I am #but I still can’t get it into my head that yes I’m kinda fucking disabled #because here I am sitting on this creaky futon unable to understand anything anyone is saying to me bc my hearing is so bad #it’s a bad hearing day! it happens! some days are good! today is very much not so good! #so I told my therapist I’m way cool with telling people I have mental health issues #but when it comes to hearing it’s ‘oh no I’m not REALLY disabled. I just uhhhhh can’t uhhh fuckin hear sometimes 🤷🏻‍♂️ that’s normal right?’ #and he’s like no my sweet boy you are disabled you need to own that shit #okay… he didn’t say it like that but this is my flashback please let me have this #let me be a sweetie boy in my own mind #he said it’s usually the reverse: people don’t like to admit mental health issues but will mention physical disabilities #I just… I spent 30 something years with great hearing and then it all just got taken from me out of the blue and no one knows why #and I hate that. I’m so angry. I’m so fucking angry and scared and alone #and I hate admitting that yes I am disabled. like really disabled. it feels like defeat. #and it shouldn’t. like I said it’s just kinda what I am now. It’s like saying I breathe or I’m allergic to birds. it just is me. #sorry I’m just having a rough day #I got about an hour of sleep and now I’m holding down the fort while a home inspector and the new buyer look through the house #and I can’t talk to either of them. I can’t understand them talking to each other. it’s isolating. #I have therapy later and I’m hoping I’ll be able to communicate and hear during it. I really just need someone to talk to #I miss talking to people in person. I can still do that it just can take a bit of work and I hate subjecting people to putting up with me #I feel so needy. I just want some human connection. I want to know I can still make this work. #gosh this is whiny. sorry about that. just needed a quick vent to get me through the next few hours #anyway I love you. probably. maybe… ehhh #you can ignore this #text
