Cottage Altar Update!!!
Omg I’m super excited to show you all the updates I’ve made.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok so first up is the outside. I redid the way the ivy and lavender drapes, added some red baby’s breath, and invited two new crow guardians! Target had the cutest corvid plushies so I may or may not have bought four of them and have two on my cottage…..
Shut up.
Tumblr media
Next I added pink baby’s breath to the side window. It just feels really nice to look out and see them, plus when I find the right one, I’ll be adding a small wreath/ witches bells to both windows to help ward off anything unsavory. I also found a bookshelf that fits in there by the trash in my apartment complex! A lil cleaning and bam! Good as new!
Remember, you can thrift things and it’s just as good as if you bought it!
Now for the inside… omg I’m just falling in love with this part of customizing…….
Tumblr media
That is part of the ceiling. Lots of lavender, some amethyst lights, star lights, a blue larkspur and some white eucalyptus.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then the gold leaves, more ivy, some purple hyacinths, and pink roses and white eucalyptus up and down the columns.
I even found a pinecone and crow feather (it maybe a raven though, I can’t be too sure. Almost certain it’s a crow feather….) I wanna start incorporating real plant life in here too.
Tumblr media
I am so freaking pleased with how it’s coming along.
Now each plant has properties to help with my craft. I chose them not just for looks, but for the vibrations they give off.
I hope I’ve inspired you even a little bit!
Tonight’s song is Labour by Paris Paloma.
This song is POWERFUL and I dedicate it to all of us who were parentified, adultified or are under the thumb of someone who makes you feel trapped and alone 💖

Fake baby birds.
Tumblr media
For some reason there have been a lot of incorrect and even fake images of baby birds going around. Perhaps you saw the AI generated fake baby peacock? The baby crow is a real photo of a real young avian... but it's not a crow (Turns out this fluffy little one is a baby rail-- more info here at the "corvid research blog" which has been mad about this photo for like years. )
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Over on the Fediverse (most call it 'Mastodon') there are a lot of people posting about science and nature. @[email protected], Carl T. Bergstrom shared his photo of a (real) fledgling crow just a few hours out of the nest... just look:
Tumblr media
What a little curmudgeon! Look at the too big beak and feet! The "so done with it" corvid gaze.
This bird looks like the kind of kid who spends all their time talking to whatever adults will listen about their obsession with traffic light timing. At first? It's kinda cute and a little annoying, but then it
gets really interesting because it turns out some of the light timing problems are related to graph theory---(this got way too specific... But you know the type right? Always calls you Mr. ___ or Mrs. ___ even if you tell them not to?) If you love corvids you should follow Carl T. Bergstrom over on the Fediverse. Every day there's new drama with these guys.

I know you reblogged it hours ago but here's a made-up title: Silent Wings
Wait how could you do this to me knowing about my first fandom, [redacted]!!!
I would probably use this title for either a Stiles-is-a-winged-creature AU, or possibly some kind of dragon story. Oooh or that one corvid-shifter Stiles AU I've been brewing in the back of my mind for months...

Why so _______
- The ______
Fill in the blanks!
“Why songbirds?” She asked, fiddling with the faux-feathers. “Wouldn’t a corvid be a better fit for a… spy?”
Melvik rolled his eyes again, as if spywork and the elaborate creation of false-life was a simple thing that his temporary protégée was failing to grasp. “Sure, yeah, ravens are nosy little fucks- but when you see one, you watch it. They’re smart. You look at birds like that. You can feel them watching you. And watch one too closely…”
“…you’ll notice it’s fake,” she finished. “Okay, but why songbirds? They make so much noise.”
“It gets drowned out in the pack. Flock. Whatever. And that’s the point, too. Nobody expects a spy to make noise.” He leaned back from the desk, a single false bird complete- one more to the pile. He plucked the soon-to-chirp thing from the wooden bench, and placed it on the metal sheet her siblings sat motionless on. “Five-four. I take the lead again.”
Gloria furrowed her brows at him- it’s not her fault she’s the only halfwit in the spire who knows about faux-life the month before deployment. “Where IS your little helper, anyway? How come I’m stuck here helping you?”
Melvik leaned forward awkwardly to start on another songbird. “He decided he’s an aspirant.” He spit the word.
“Little Crug? He’s an aspirant?”
Melvik raised his eyes to meet Gloria, and gave a single small nod.
“Good lord- The other children call him Crug, how is he gonna be an aspirant?”
“He’s not. He’ll wash out.”
“Right.” Gloria looked down at the spy in her hands, realizing she’d inserted a feather backwards. “Fuck.”
Continuing as if they hadn’t reached the natural stopping point, Melvik sighed- “It’s like he’s ignored everything he’s good at in favor of something that’s get him killed even if he doesn’t flunk out. Which, mind you, he will!”
Fumbling with a misplaced leg, his rant continues.
“Even if he does, somehow, become a pilot, which one would he even drive? The Mercello? The damn Mercello? We need things other than Titans to protect the Keep!”
Gloria nods, half listening. She opens her mouth to interject- not yet sure if she agrees- but Melvik isn’t done.
“He’s going to wash out of training, and when he comes back with half his motor functions intact, he’s gonna be sorry when I don’t let him back in. I can’t!” He meets Gloria’s eyes. “It’d be a security risk at that point. You get it, don’t you?”
She gives him an uncertain half-smile; the act of becoming an aspirant is seen as noble- a sacrifice, even. But those who ‘wash out’ are not often kept in high regards. Gloria’s cousin was one such unfortunate aspirant.
Melvik sees the uncertainty and relents- his eyes close, and he opens them to view the rotten thing in his hand. He managed to insert both legs backwards in his anger- and maybe, he dreaded, his age.
“I just needed one. One guarantee this craft wouldn’t be lost when… when I lose it.”
Gloria grimaced- she didn’t think her workmanship was that bad. “I’m sure there’s others who’ll keep it up. You know? You’re not the only weaver.”
“Nobody knows how to weave like I do.”
“And why’s that? What’s your special secret?”
“Nobody knows how- they-“
“Come on, then! Spill it! Nobody knows how to what?!”
“Fill in the blanks!”
Gloria rolled her eyes. “That’s stupid.”
“It’s not stupid,” he groans, continuing far past the natural stopping point. “Real songbirds don’t just ‘start and stop’- real foxes don’t just sit and watch. You have to make them real. You have to make them feel real.”
“So what you’re saying is, the director pays you extra because you play with puppets.” She meant it as an insult- she certainly thought so.
Melvik grins.
He looks to the small, soon to chirp thing in his hands- legs corrected, little beady eyes ready to see. “Yeah…”
He envisions the Titans- the pilots sitting within their puppet-rigs, marching along the ocean front; watching for the minions of the Corpse Moon to meet them along the coastal crags.
“Puppets.”
Maybe he does understand.

The Foundation (I’m Not Leaving You)
Had a vague idea. Churned this out in probably five minutes. Haven’t even read it through. Bone apple tit and all that jazz.
Steve thought of love like a house.
Not just any house; his house.
It looked great on the outside, and the inside was always ready, poised and perfect for guests, but really? It was lonely. It was fake. It was empty. It was everything Steve hated, everything he couldn’t get away from.
His breakup with Nancy only served to further prove his theory.
But then Eddie came along, and he couldn’t help but fall for him. He couldn’t help but love him, whole-heartedly.
And Christ, did that scare Steve. Because under all his throw pillows and open-concept living space, who was he? Why would Eddie stay when everything that makes up Steve could be gone with just the flick of a match?
It doesn’t make sense, really, for him to be standing at the site of where his house once was. It’s a pile of smoking rubble now—product of a faulty gas line—and Steve’s breaking.
Hard.
His knees crumble, and he’d fall to the pavement if Eddie didn’t catch him. “Hey,” Eddie says softly. “I know it’s a lot. I know it’s scary. But you can get through this, okay?” He whispers. “We can get through this. Cause I’m not leaving you.” He helps Steve back up, leads him towards the ash and ruin.
“Look here,” he murmurs, tracing the line of where the kitchen had been with his pointed finger. “The foundation’s still there, baby. All that’s gone is everything you hated in the first place. I know all this change at once is scary, but maybe you could see it as a good thing. The foundation’s still there, rock-solid. Now you can build it back up the way you want, the way you need, with everything that makes it you. How’s that sound?”
For the first time, Steve lets himself love fully; lets himself turn and bury his face in Eddie’s neck, lets his fingers clutch at Eddie’s waist as he tries for regulate his breathing. Lets Eddie see all of him. “Sounds pretty good,” he admits.

It's time for the January Summary!
Let's begin with the (not very surprising) highest win count!
Richarlyson
Tumblr media
Surprising absolutely noone, Richas has gotten the most wins, at a whopping 7/26! He's been voted most likely to:
Start the Warrior Cats roleplay
Get banned from the Warrior Cats roleplay
Start the NERF fight
Eat the raw cookie dough
Eat the mud pies
Throw the Wii remote into the wall
Get really weird while sick
That's a lot for a little ovo! You all scare me sometimes.
SunnySideUp
Tumblr media
Our favorite princess arrives with an impressive 5/26 polls won! They've been voted most likely to:
Hyperfixate on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Have a "magical destiny" complex
Have the largest stuffed animal collection
Be very into the original (2014 and before) Barbie movies
Collect Loom Bands
That all seems to be very in character for her.
Pepito
Tumblr media
I can't deny that Pepito is one of my favorites, but clearly Pepito is yours too, with 4/26 polls being won! Pepito has been voted most likely to:
Have the pet goldfish replaced weekly without noticing
Mistake an opossum for a cat and keep it as a pet
Watch "Hey Bear Sensory" videos for hours on end
Sit 3 inches away from the TV because Pepito wants glasses
We love Pepito here, don't we.
Chayanne
Tumblr media
With 3/26 polls won, you can certainly tell he's picked up some habits from his father. Chayanne has been voted most likely to:
Teach the local corvids to rob people
Have a hyperfixation on Mythology
Attempt to fly off the roof with fake wings
I'm glad we all agree here.
Leonarda
Tumblr media
I have to be honest, I don't see Leonarda that often. But it seems like you all love them very much, with 3/26 polls won, including being the winner of the FIRST ever poll on this blog! Leo has been voted most likely to:
Try and sneak a muddy stray dog into the house
Ride the family dog into 'battle'
Build the biggest snowman (very closely tied with Dapper!)
I hope her and her 193838 dogs do alright this month.
Dapper
Tumblr media
While he hasn't won that many polls, the 2/26 that he has have made complete sense. Dapper has been voted most likely to:
Be like Sid from Toy Story with all of his toys
Actually summon a demon during the slumber party (and the most intense sweep, with over 80% of the votes!)
Who can blame him for needing more juice from his dad, right?
Tallulah
Tumblr media
She's only won 1/26 polls, but hooooo boy did you all get heated about that one. Despite the attempts at sweeps, Tallulah has been voted most likely to:
Be a horse girl
Don't listen to the haters, queen. You can be a horse girl if you want.
Empanada
Tumblr media
I hope our girl gets more love this month, with only 1/26 wins for January! Empanada was voted most likely to:
Have a stuffed animal net above their bed and have trouble sleeping for fear that it will fall on them in the middle of the night
That one is definitely a mouthful.
Ramón & Pomme
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While these two didn't get any wins for January, I have high hopes that they will do just fine for February. After all, they'll have ~58 chances to do so!
God help me.

i am asking you about mechs birds ! if you want a specific mech then I'm asking about Drumbot Brian. But I'd love ve to hear about all of them if you want to
(On the verge of tears, covered in blood, out of breath, and surrounded by boards of red string and thumbtacks) I am SO glad you asked
Jonny: A shrike. Small, violent little critters. OR a chicken, because the cannibalism thing. (I also just think it’s really funny.)
Tumblr media
Ashes: Whistling kite! They (along with a few other species) take burning sticks from forest fires and spread it to flush out prey. Arsonist bird, just like Ashes!
Tumblr media
Drumbot Brian: Canada goose, since they travel long distances (like a pilot might!) this is also one of the birds that just Is Them. Just look at him. Look me in the eyes and tell me that man isn’t a goose. Soft, round, they look good to hold but they’re simultaneously full of violence.. silly goose Brian….
Tumblr media
Raphaella: Wandering albatross. Yet another one who really truly just is. Look at that bird. It's her.
Tumblr media
Marius: Common kingfisher! He's the one who originally sparked this idea, after we saw a picture of one and immediately got slammed by the idea of anthro bird mechs. The colors. Just look. That bird is Him.
Tumblr media
Ivy: Rock ptarmigan, pigeon, or a mourning dove. She's just a soft round bird like Brian. They all have fitting coloration in a way, too.
Tumblr media
Toy Soldier: European nightjar. The freaks my one true love. Nightjars look so fake., like they’re one of those puppet animal plushies you put your hand in to move the mouth.
Tumblr media
Tim: Steller's jay. He inexplicably reminds me of one, similar mannerisms and everything. Tim is really truly such a corvid, also considered a blue jay for him. Deep down in my heart of hearts Gunpowder is a seabird like an osprey or petrel, though I have no reasoning for those ones.
Tumblr media
Nastya: Eurasian magpie. Shiny blue smart bird. Looks mildly disappointed in you. Love u nastya

because we are the topmost balcony in the building and there's plenty of pigeons around - and above, in the attic - the previous owner installed this plastic fake corvid sort of statuette on the rail. you know, to scare the pigeons away and all, plenty of people have them. it doesn't work too well but that's life.
the funny thing is, however, that my lacking object permanence silly little kitty will run into the kitchen in the morning, each morning, all happy and excited for food and then WHAT THE FUCK THERE'S A CROW BEHIND THE WINDOW OH MY GOD!!!!
and then it'll take him a good minute to figure out it's fake. he'll ekekek at it for a short moment, look at it from behind the glass a couple of times from a couple different angles, and then move on - slightly embarrassed, too.
and of course, you know, the next day - the same exact thing happens. exactly exactly the same.
