#the birds without feathers

[ghost-bxrd]

Bruce with fae!Dick is just: I have no idea what this kid is or what is happening, but this child is mine now :)

I like to think he never asks what Dick is, he just don't want to know for the sake of his mental health

Ngl that was my first thought too ksksks

On one hand we’ve got Bruce the world’s greatest detective but on the other hand… well, Bruce can only handle so much weirdness in one day and his new child is basically the embodiment of Weird™️ 😭😂

Dick is just happily swinging from the chandelier and having animated conversations with a bird about the weather and meanwhile Bruce is just standing off to the side like :)))) my child isn’t like other children :)))))

Everyone else: awe, yes, everybody thinks that about their own kid.

Bruce, who just saw Dick rotate his head 360° to keep track of a firefly only to then eat it and because it allegedly insulted him: yes :))))))

#ghost talks #fae dick grayson #creature dick grayson #the fair folk #the ones that live in the woods #and the space between a tree split by lightning #the beings from the moors #the birds without feathers #hehe translating our names for them into English makes no sense but it still turns out appropriately eerie #look I got told that a creature slept on the roofs to turn on the lights whenever we came out #and that we had to say hello and goodbye or it wouldn’t turn on the lights anymore #it was great #we always waved at it #pagan folklore #folklore #fae folk #jason todd #batfamily #dick grayson #robin #batfam #bruce wayne #Batman

i've seen a few comments before (not on here, just in the past on other sites) frustrated and confused about why the oldest dream never talked to yoo joonghyuk. or anyone for that matter. why couldn't he just say something, anything at all? did he feel nothing as they suffered? couldn't he have helped somehow?

and there's a lot i could say about this and a lot of various layers and details and perspectives. but in the end it all comes down to this:

not a single one of us can talk to the characters in a book we're reading.

that's just how it works.

#mine #orv #orv spoilers #(next part is just my rambling that could be ENTIRELY incorrect its 4AM okay ashdjfg) #in addition here's my hot take: i don't think yjh actually talked to od the one time he said he did #i think he is a little liar who thought the one reason kdj wouldn't kill him is if kdj thought it'd doom the timeline #and he thought kdj wouldn't feel assured unless some higher power than yjh confirmed it would be fine #so he LIED to get kdj to KILL HIM because he and kdj are BIRDS OF A FUCKED UP FEATHER #i'm not saying he lied about knowing the timeline would be fine without him. i just think he reached that conclusion through other means #like. its a perfectly reasonable conclusion to make if you consider that the cut film effect exists. #how are you gonna splice n dice different timelines if one of them doesnt exist anymore once yjh regresses? you CAN'T is the answer #so i think he could be sure the current round/timeline would be fine if he regressed into a new round/timeline even w/o talking to od #anyways. i could be 100% wrong about all that!! i likely am ashjdfg but it's. it sure is something to think about!

I am officially unwell about Marco and it's about to be all y'all's problem.

#in other news my household is almost recovered from 5 days of flu #so I should be able to get back on these angst requests #totally going to finish up Birds of a Feather #cause I need to start another Marco fic #(without neglecting my other multi-chapters I promise xD ) #I'm setting up a schedule for the next few months to help me shift around better #mostly cause I want to tie off some of these sooner rather than later #and still indulge my unwellness >.>

State of the Babs: there’s a ways to go still.

That mass of sticks will utterly kill my brain. I think I’ll move on to the flying adult next because that’s a productive way to procrastinate.

The background water is nowhere near finished, it’s lacking reflections/some ripples/other fun stuff. Also the cottonwood branch needs leaves!

oooh this is *chef's kiss*

#bwark #wouldn't calling this foreshadowing since the audience for the manga knows about her true form at this point #but alluding to it for link (who is still in the dark about that at this point) is good #honestly link and midna being birds of a feather when it comes to having alt forms that they hate is one of the reasons why their dynamic i #so interesting #or at least in the manga link hates being a wolf #in the game's he just like oh shit. mild inconvenience. at least now i can poop on the floor without anyone judging me #*call. not calling

Some Knight doodles

#knight of nothing #the knight #drew these while playing around with how i want to draw them #i think of him sort of like a bird where the helmet sort of forms a beak. the cape is like wings and the feather goes without saying #knight my friend knight!!! #i tend to draw the human cast more because i feel like i can do more with them but knight absolutely has a place in my heart

Fun fact: I have an ancestor who abandoned his birthright to move to the US...so he could be closer to rocks and become a gentleman miner in his spare time. Not a subsistence miner, sixteen-tons style, mind you, so I know this was not a decision born out of economic desperation, but a hobbyist miner who used his legitimate business to fund his rock fascination, and if collectively delighting over examining the ancestral rock collection at the family reunion is not relatable, then I suspect there may not be enough autism in your family.

#the autism and the initial rock appreciation are actually probably zero related #which is to say most of the autism comes from a great uncle entirely unrelated to the rock immigrant #but the continued familial preservation of the rock collection and our collective delight over it? #that is definitely a combo of autism #with a hefty side serving of religious appreciation for ancestors #and the fact that rocks are just cool #if you're immigrating to utah and you're not interested in either religion or rocks #why are you even going? #(the radiation fascination came later) #the other brainweird stuff is perhaps a mystery #some possibility the adhd was there #but to be honest there's significant adhd in pretty much all of my extended family and it's a common enough brain thing #that there's probably no one source #birds of a feather flock together and all that #(and as an aside: i cannot say that phrase without imagining the bullying scene in ella enchanted #because i spent ages trying to figure out how areida's ayorthian accent sounded #and most of what i had to go off of was that exaggerated mocking pronunciation)

Well, he found a mug that reminded him of the RED medic that said, "I do not suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it."

"Yup. That seems like a very RED Medic-y mug." He planned on slipping into his office and leaving it on the man's desk with a note that said, "Had your vibes. :)" or something like that. Whatever kids these days said.

#he's such an old man #he hears so much about people without even meeting them #he doesn't wanna be perceived due to how much more bird-esc he has become #he'd just gotten used to the wings and now he has tail feathers and more feathers all over #he wants to pull them out but won't because he's kinda a baby

ID: a digital drawing of Lemongrab 1 and 2 standing arm in arm, both holding a mirror. Lemongrab 1 is smiling creepily and holding his sound sword, his mirror shows a reflection of lemongrab 2 with their hand on Lemonhope’s shoulder. Lemongrab 2 looks nervous and frightened, and their mirror shows a reflection of Lemongrab 1. The background is a green gradient fading to black. The words Birds of a Feather are written at the top in yellow. ED.

Birds of a Feather

Things are very, very wrong at castle Lemongrab but everyone pretends not to notice. But as Lemonhope’s inability to bend to his parents wishes grows more noticeable and Lemongrab’s behaviour becomes more and more bizarre, Lemongrab 2 is forced to face the reality of their situation and make a choice: their brother’s love, or their children’s safety.

You’ll like this piece of horror fanficiton if:

-you like claustrophobic psychological horror stories.

-you find explorations of disturbing family dynamics interesting, such as Bunny Lake is Missing (1965), Parents (1989) and Hatching (2022)

-you’re haunted by the scene in Tombs of Atuan by Ursula Le Guin where Tenar is forced to order the slow, painful executions of several prisoners.

Cws: graphic depictions of abuse against family and children including physical, emotional abuse and manipulation, degredation, guilt tripping, love bombing, child neglect and children being shamed, food insecurity, lack of bodily autonomy due to being abused, violent men/father figures, invasions of privacy and stalkerish behaviour. I advise that people under age 15 don’t read this one as it does get quite disturbing.

Lesser Birdwyrm (Quetzalcoatlus minimus). These feathered and weasel-like drakes are quite intelligent for their small size. While their agressive temperment makes them unsuitable as familiars, many hunters of undead find them to be useful scouts.

love is a thing with feathers

it sprouts wings when you get too close

but perches on your shoulder

and whispers sweet nothings in silence

love cannot be caged or kept

the fear of clipping its wings

haunts me into my brightest dreams

suffocating, sorrowing, and still

if i cannot keep it, why admire

the blue tresses that frame his eyes

his lips, the way he sings

if i cannot keep him, let him go

if he returns, he feels love too

he sees the feathers i hide with paint

brushes aside the brook that stains my face

i love him, and perhaps he loves me too

love is a thing with feathers

should it stay is uncertain

but its beauty is undeniable

and watching it soar? breathtaking.
