Nine people I'd like to get to know better

...except I'm getting to this very late and have no idea who has or hasn't done this yet, so consider this a free-for-all for anyone wanting to do this, too!

Last song: Follow Fi (extended) - good background noise when I'm working on my websites :)

Bregan D'aerthe fan-site will be returning soon-ish btw! PROBABLY in April or May but it really depends on how much more our relocation is gonna keep getting pushed back :(

Favourite colour: I am a BIG fan of colors just in general but um...

GREEN. Let's just say 'green' and make this a bit easier.

Last tv show/movie: Oh lord... I really don't watch tv much at all. As in... I've watched 1 show in the last 3 years, which is the Loki series.

Spicy/sweet/savoury: Mostly savory with a bit of spice. I do not usually like mixing sweet and savory. There's an Indian restaurant around here that makes great tikka masala and if I could only eat ONE meal for the rest of my life it would be that.

Last game: Minecraft. I was feeling a bit cynical after corporate put up some more ~woo~ feel-good brainwashing customer service posters so I fought back by putting up signs in my spooky scary underground dungeon saying shit like "positive vibes only" and a few other things that might be too much of a giveaway for where I work so I won't share them (YET!)

Last thing i google "do people seriously believe this crap?" with absolutely no added context because that's the mood I was in

@foxboyclit thank you for tagging me in this, it was fun!

#is this the room of a 5 year old or a 30+ year old with adhd and too much creativity to contain? #actually it has changed a bit since I took that photo given that it's been a year #but overall it's still very similar #the ghost is gone because the string broke and I couldn't be arsed to fix it #so now there's the giant spider web in its place #the flowery table cover was replaced with a lace spider web for Lolthmas and I still haven't changed it back #during covid when I was working in a hippie woo grocery store at the height of it all I got seriously depressed #I couldn't go anywhere the way my hours were #so I turned my room into an enchanted forest and tbh it's really serene. my cat is hopelessly in love with my little red rose pillows. #this is the longest I've left my room looking more or less the same #I get an urge to redecorate every 6 months like clockwork but it's been this way for 4 years now I think #taking everything down when I relocate is gonna suck but my next room/office is gonna be Underdark themed so... WORTH IT #I already have the custom printed mural :'D #the new mural is a lot less cartoonish and a bit more uh... GROWN-UP lol but still very pretty #cw: taxidermy #<- just in case since I have one of my foxes and coywolves in the photo #disclaimer: the pelts in this photo are super old and were not killed by me or for the purpose of taxidermy

My RenFaire OC, Bedlam the Dragonborn 🐉, had a great time with @laropasucia on the final day of the season at Bristol Renaissance Faire! 💜

I also picked up some cool merch: a buffalo bone bin from oPINions in Bone, and a gorgeous, fluffy fox tail from Chase Tannery to replace my old coyote tail that broke(!)

(If you’re featured in these pics, lemme know so I can credit you! If you don’t want your photo here, PM me and I will remove it.)

WOAH can we see the skull if thats ok?? that sounds so cool (also only 20€????)

Also since it's hollow you can stick led lights in there for this sort of effect (pardon the mushy quality):

#like I said it's a real Asian water buffalo skull #these are carved by hand in Indonesia mostly in Bali I believe #to my understanding skull carving is a long standing tradition over there but most pieces like this seem to be made for & sold to tourists #I got this one second (third?) hand and I suspect that perhaps the seller didn't know what it was and what they're worth #and yet they graciously agreed to go through the trouble of packaging it carefully and shipping it to the other side of the country #which couldn't have been very easy since it's a big and heavy skull #answered #apricottheapricat #vulture culture #animal death #cw animal death #taxidermy #cw taxidermy

whats ur favorite bird?

anon you have just opened pandora’s box

My favorite particular bird is the Pfeilstorch! This is a piece of taxidermy from the early 1800s currently on display at the University of Rostock in Germany.

In the early 1800s, natural historians and biologists did not know where birds went for the winter. They just disappeared. Some people thought they hibernated like bears, or turned into fish (!!) or flew to the moon (!!)

Cut to 1822 when a this bird was found in Germany. It was still alive, walking around with this spear in its neck. The spear was made from wood that only grows in central Africa. The German biologists determined that the bird had been speared in central Africa and then flew north to Germany. This was how they figured out that birds migrate with the changing seasons.

Shoutout to this massive buck that had a third antler growing in

#been getting a lot of freaks in lately and I am a-ok with that #third antlers like this can sometimes happen when cells from the pedacle of an antler get transferred to another spot via injury #this will then cause an antler to grow in that location because antler growth is one hell of an adaptation #now was this from an injury? no idea #genuinely I think it’s just a funky mutation #european mount #whitetail deer #skull #taxidermy #vulture culture #taxidermist #cw dead animal #tw animal death #tw dead animal #cw animal death #oddities

Introducing: Yinn

A.K.A., orca puppy

I love this weird boy much. He's a melanistic coyote with an unusually high concentration of white markings; I've seen a few black coyotes in my time, most with a small patch of white on their chest and maybe a little on their bottom lip, but Yinn's markings are really distinctive.

I named him "Yinn" after the drow word for "tooth/fang" and following the theme of naming all of my coyotes/wolves/coywolves after drow words & names.

I suspect Yinn has some dog heritage down the line that lends itself to his unique color morph, but otherwise he is very much a coyote and a Good Boy.

#cw: taxidermy #coyote pelt #yinn the coyote #he and Ghost are my two favorite coyotes #Ghost is the only one who doesn't have a drow name because the little bastard named himself #I kept trying to call him the name I had in mind for him and involuntarily kept calling him Ghost by mistake #after about a year of stubbornly refusing to I finally gave in and started calling him Ghost #which people think is a GoT reference despite me never being a fan #really it's just because coyotes are tricky assholes and so too apparently are their spirits #and Ghost was Very Particular about wanting to be called Ghost

I salivate at the thought of skinning you alive

oh good, I thought I'd been left out. [for context to the reader, this is a reference to this post (I hope)]

On the spectrum from crocodile to passerine, I can only hope that human would be closer to crocodile, but not so close to be quite as tiring.

#I skinned a crocodile recently #actually just part of a crocodile #and it was exhausting #fascinating and extremely cool #but really a lot of work #the osteoderm make the back REALLY inflexible #so pulling it back takes a lot of strength #huge respect to the people who do that for a living #on the other hand #trying to skin a passerine is like trying to hammer in a nail with tissue paper #you just look at the damn thing and the skin rips #I have no idea how people make titmouse taxidermies #I have pretty good fine motor control #but I am not cut out to be a taxidermist #cw skinning #I guess? #let me know if this needs other warnings #I can't think of any right now #tag ramble #answers by Mark #Anon #Anonymous

Kinda dark maybe but what if aziraphale walks into crowley’s apartment in s3 and it’s full of taxidermied nightingales
