My dad and I came across the coolest sight on our camping trip: An owl haloed by the full moon rising.

Gothic mushroom shaped candles. Danny picked one up, grinning. Sam would have love these on her alters. Very Sam, very Gotham.

It a bit bittersweet, now that he could think of her without being paralyzed by crushing grief. Her and Tucker both. Danny turned, keeping an eye on Tim as he glared into the case of used cameras.

Danny walked over and tried not to feel guilty about practically mooching off of a child. Even if the money he was using was actually the Drakes’.

“Like anything you see?”

Tim shook his head. Danny pondered over what little he knew of photography- all of which he learned from documentaries that were more focused on nature.

“I think there might be a camera store a couple of blocks down. We could get the ones that takes photos of animals, like the really big ones that takes photos of wildlife?”

“I guess. I mean, I don’t need it since we can…” Tim glanced around suspiciously. Danny willed his mouth to not smile at Tim’s antics. “Fly close,” the kid finished in a whisper.

“Okay, but what about when I’m not there?”

Tim hunched up on himself and Danny despaired inwardly. Uh oh, what did he say now?”

“Are you going somewhere?” Tim quietly asked, sounding hurt and upset.

“No,” Danny soothed, patting Tim on the head. I mean, what if I’m busy with stuff but you want to go take pictures without me?”

“You said to go get you whenever I wanna go out to take pictures.”

“Okay, yeah, I- well, we might as well get you a quality camera, right? To take really really good pictures of the… local wildlife. Like… the birds and the bats, and all that.” Danny winked exaggeratedly.

Tim blinked and giggled when he got the joke. “Okay, as long as you’re staying!”

Danny grinned, fangs and all. “Of course.”

——

At the end of their shopping spree, generously provided and sponsored by the Drake family and their heavy black card, Danny got a phone and Tim got a wild life camera that was a whopping $4,000 but was compact enough to not look absolutely ridiculous.

“It’s heavy!” Tim whined, as he grinned like a loon.

“It’s quality,” Danny plopped the shopping bags on the island in one of the giant kitchens Drake manor had. “I’ll make dinner. You figure out those settings and you can tell me about it when we eat.”

“Okay!” Tim hummed excited, quick fingers and laser focus already aimed at his new device.

Danny picked up his new phone and dialed a number he knew by heart. As it rung, Danny held it up to his ear and began prepping the ingredients. At least

“Hello?” His sister’s cautious voice came through the phone. Danny’s shoulders relaxed.

“Heya, Jazz.” He could see Tim’s ears all but perk up in order to eavesdrop. His mouth quirked up in amusement and Danny turned away. He probably shouldn’t be encouraging that kind of behavior… but it was funny.

“Danny! Are you okay? I- I heard that they chased after you and I was worried sick! Are you safe? Any injuries? Do I need to pick you up?”

“I’m good. Promise. Not bleeding out or dying. It’s actually pretty nice right now,” Danny paused before turning back a little more so he could watch Tim’s reaction peripherally. “Hey, listen, can I adopt a little brother?”

He watched Tim sit up straighter eyed flickering up to him and back down again, a secretly pleased look on his face as he figured out that Danny was in fact talking about him.

“Danny, what the hell?” Jazz huffed, audibly relieved to know that Danny wasn’t on his merry way to becoming a full on ghost. “Who, why, and what kind of trouble did you get into now?”

“Hey, this was me getting out of trouble. Those people don’t even know where I escaped to. Tim helped me out a lot,” Danny said in the tone that meant ‘and there’s more to it but I can’t tell you right now.’

“His name’s Tim?”

“Yeah, you wanna say hi?”

Tim looked terrified as he heard Danny’s side of the conversation. Danny could relate.

“Alright. But you’re explaining everything later, got it?”

“Sure thing, boss.”

Danny turned to Tim, abandoning the peas he was shelling and rinsing off his hand to hold the phone.

“Tim, my sister, Jazz, wants to say hi. Are you cool with that?”

“Uhm! Yeah! Yeah, sure.” Tim, honest to ancients, squeaked. Danny’s enhanced hearing could pick up Jazz’s already melting heart. He taped a button.

“Jazz, you’re on speaker.”

“Hey, Tim. I’m Jazz. Thanks for taking care of my little brother!”

“Uh, hi, Jazz! I’m Timothy Drake! And, uh, you’re welcome! Anytime!”

Tim glanced at Danny for reassurance, relaxing a bit when the halfa threw him a double thumbs up.

Jazz went quiet.

“Jazz, you good?” Danny asked.

“We’re adopting him. Danny, you better make sure knows about everyone. Hi, Tim, I’m Jazz, your new big sister.”

“Uh- I have parents.”

“That can be fixed,” Jazz casually brushed off. Tim looked like a deer in headlights, so Danny took his sister off speaker and went back to cooking. He made sure to smile at Tim.

“Don’t worry, we won’t adopt you if you don’t want to. But it wasn’t a joke, we’re very serious.”

“I’ll think about it?”

Danny shrugged. “Good enough for me.”

“So, where are you?” Jazz asked him, rustling coming through on the phone.

“Gotham.”

“You are so fucking lucky I love you, dumbass. I’ll be there tomorrow at noon.”

“Playing hooky, are you?”

“Fuck off, little brother, before I show Tim your toddler pictures.”

“Thanks, Jazz.”

“Bye, Danny. Don’t get killed again when I’m not there, got it?”

“Sure, sure.”

Danny smiled and returned to his agenda of stuffing as many vegetables into one meal as he can. At least the food isn’t trying to tear out his face.

Robin hasn’t heard the eerie giggles around lately, but he’s been practicing his own. It’s weird though, because there’s always a glint of something in the corner of his eyes.

“Robin, muggers.”

“On it, B. Shall we, Batgirl?”

“Let’s go, Boy Wonder.”

one of my favourite shots from yesterday's outing at the lake

#my photography! #bird photography #birding #birds #canada goose #canadian goose #wildlife photography #thinking about the tumblr conversation about the inherent eroticism of rivals in combat #this photo looks so romantic #almost like dancing #compared to the photo I also got yesterday of two geese mating #which just looks like a little kid pulling another's hair for a few seconds #whereas this is an intense fight but looks so pretty... #anyways #gonna ref this for a drawing someday

I'd like to introduce everyone to this little fella!

This is most likely an eastern cottontail, though there is some debate that it may be a new england cottontail but that's unlikely.

Now normally I am very against feeding/interacting with wildlife on regular occasions but this guy is a special case.

See I'd been going out to put seed out for wild birds for a few months now, sitting nearby to take pictures of them to the point that they'll land around me, fly over when they hear my footsteps and just have a general understanding that I'm not going to hurt them.

Then I notice a little bunny hop out from under the brush a bit wary, but I stay still so I don't scare it and can hopefully get some pictures. He ended up, over a few days getting more familiar and eventually tipping over the scoop I use for the bird feed while being less than a foot away.

It really is a neat thing for wild animals to come to the understanding that you aren't going to hurt them, just enough trust to hang around you.

He's absolutely adorable and I love this little fella

Happy very belated birthday.. I hope you had much time celebrating by digging for tubers : )

I'M DIGGING FOR TUBERS! AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME!

#fanart #PIO!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This is truly so so so delightful to look at. #The roundness...the delightful way you have drawn the ears and boots... #I would commit wildlife conservation crimes and pick this beast up in the wild. Consequences be damned that thing can dig for tubers. #(I have not made a tag for posts with my cowboy cat but I think I need to change that). #Now that I'm reading this whole post again I realize how much of it really sets the tone for my blog. #Does the art look funny? Yes. But I still show up to do it! #I can digging for tubers (make art and enjoy it) #Some people might be here enjoying my process ironically but I have to take myself seriously...much to think about. #I can also go admire my real tubers and give them words of affirmation while they hibernate. #Thank you for also giving me a moment to pause and reflect Pio. An incredible doubled pronged gift <3

I am thrilled to announce Version 1.1 of my poster showing (some of) the frogs of Madagascar, to scale!

It features 136 species, incorporating the latest taxonomic work.

>>>You can buy it here<<< I recommend 'Poster' in size 'Large' to get the best resolution and legibility of the text.

Proceeds go towards supporting my research!

Here's Version 1.0 at the Zoologische Staatssammlung München:

#frogs #anura #amphibians #animals #zoology #science #wildlife #merch #biology #graphic art #poster #redbubble #look I hate posting this #because I basically hate advertisement of any kind #and it feels like selling out #but I think some people genuinely liked the first version #and it seems like some of you might enjoy this kind of stuff too #and the pennies I get from each sale really do help #Version 2.0 will require another expedition to Madagascar #which hopefully will take place at the end of 2024 #note: there are no Mini species on the poster because I have never seen one alive to photograph it #sorry about that #hopefully I can fix that on my 2024 expedition

aside from my rice here’s a doodle dump of my timeskip johto kiddos all scribbled during classes! forgot to upload this some time ago but it's a mix of silly doodles, profile studies and outfit ideations 📝

#kagoodles #pokemon gsc #pokemon hgss #rival silver #trainer kris #trainer ethan #trainer lyra #tag wall incoming guys waHA #practicing with profiles is fun but keeping consistency at various angles? hoogh #alright time for more rambling abt these guys (specifically lyra and ethan) for a bit :D #I wanted lyra's champion dress to have a bit more inspo from filipiniana dresses but also retain parts from her sygna suit in pmex! #celebi inspired to honor her role as ilex's shrine protector when her grandparents pass that torch to her #not sure of a specific battle gimmick but it would involve hp recovery and defense/sp def buffing with a mix of lessening critical hits #and then she hits ya with the steel chair equivalent azumarill backed with huge power + belly drum!!!!!!!!! sweep em girl!!!!!!!!!! #silver and lyra would be the last guys you'd face for double battles at the battle tower but Watch Out #what else what else uhhh ETHAN #ethan's revolves around the pokeathlon so he's a bit more showy in competition compared to when he does photography work #he can jump between being a popular pokeathlete to intensely focused on taking wildlife pictures with like. several 'mons surrounding him #very dedicated to his research and study; his friends would find him in crazy phototaking positions just to take a pic of a heracross #i think it'd be funny that ethan and kris are rivals at the pokeathlon they would have some beef (they'd tally wins against each other) #I haven’t forgotten abt everyone else tho I have so much on the mind I wanna draw #maybe I’ll finish some of these doodles for when I feel like working on my neocities but website building is a whole beast in and of itself #but I’ll persevere if the results come out decent >:]
