[a-dinosaur-a-day]

Given that there are some parrots, corvids, and lyrebirds have the ablity to mimic sounds around their environment including human voices/speech could it have been possible for some non avian dinosaurs to have the same ablity? Just imaged some raptors learning how to mimic the calls of their prey.

Sooo the organ that these lovely dinos have to mimic things is called a syrinx (an additional vocal organ that works with the layrnx). And it is actually a huge controversy when that structure evolved in nonavian dinosaurs! It's ancestral to modern birds, so it had to happen before then, but since it's a soft tissue structure, it rarely fossilizes, so we have no idea when it evolved. We see it in Vegavis! But that's a crown-bird. So that helps nothing. But maybe the fact that we've only found it in a crown-bird means that it only showed up in crown-birds. That said, a very bird like larynx was found in an ankylosaur in a paper published earlier this year, so the story is very clearly not done - and maybe mimicing could have even been possible with a very bird-like larynx. Who knows!

the ankylosaur paper in question: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-023-04513-x

I'm honestly kind of curious about how you decided on different people's powers. With Avi, you said it was because of the reactor and because of Avi liking dragons. What about some of the others? Pick a group and tell me about the ones you've revealed so far. (Also, how's writing going?)

I'm gonna do VoicePlay since they were most definitely the first and had the most thought put into them:

Geoff

Geoff being a demon is because he's often nicknamed the "bass demon" in comments and since lots of the characters he plays in music videos have demon vibes or are villains (Oogie Boogie, Baron, his costume in My Mother Told Me, Geoffsula, Mr Hyde, a vampire, Tamatoa...). It just really fits with the glowing red eyes, claws, wings... but it also immediately gave me the idea for a storyline of him not wanting to be that evil monster that people see demons as because Geoff is a really caring person but the aggression from his demon blood sometimes takes over.

Eli

Eli's super speed comes from his general behaviour. If you've watched him while he's singing - especially live - you'll see he's almost constantly moving. People always joke how Geoff needs his hands to sing, but they’ve clearly never looked at Eli. The best example of this might be him singing Superstition. Not the new cover with Omar, one of the first videos on VoicePlay's channel where he sings it solo with a band. Another influence is his vocal agility (his runs, the way he can sing so many different notes clearly and quickly and how his very fast parts are also always easy to understand lyrics-wise) and how quickly he talks. Also, he stated in the VoicePlay True Stories stream that he's never late and he gets very rushed and anxious if he is. Also, vibes.

Earl

Now, Earl's super strength was prompted by @florida-irl, actually. Also, look at him. That's a strong man. It's almost too obvious what his superpower has to be. Also, this video. He literally flexes and tears his overall doing it. That just sealed the deal. He had to be a super strong gummy bear vibes person.

Evelynn

For Evelynn, being my OC, I knew I wanted something special. The whole thing each of the groups is known for is music, so somebody had to have some sound-related power. Well, Layne also does, but that's something for another day. Evelynn's powers are inspired by comments saying things like "x's bass could cause an earthquake" or "i'm surprised y's high note didn't shatter my windows". Of course, it's scientific nonsense, but, y'know, what if it wasn’t? Partially inspired by Viktor in The Umbrella Academy, Evelynn can use the vibrations created by sounds and make them stronger to either make objects or her environment vibrate or turn them into a shock wave sort of thing.

Writing's going pretty well, though not for this AU. Not yet. Another plot bunny appeared and demanded my attention. BUT I made some rough concepts for this story on my ride home today and figured I could write something for it tonight. Then again, this AU would just take the special bond between Evelynn and Austin as a given fact and that would rob me of my epic reveal moment by spoiling it. So, I think I'll write the reveal tonight! Tonight meaning now, actually, it's 9pm already, I gotta get started already

i swear to god people need to learn the difference between ai generated voice and vocal synth. mastering the art of a vocal synth is hard. you have to tune that shit yourself. you have to edit the vocals and do it all yourself. it takes hours to get a synth to sing a song well. when people make covers of songs with miku they are not just imputing a song and boom she sings it. not like how people do with ai. also, vocal synths were created specifically to assist musicians who struggle with finding vocalists (hiring a vocalist is fucking expensive) or cant provide vocals on their own. vocal synths are instruments and tools that one needs to learn and master, and they get their voice providers from people who 100% consented to having their vocals used. hatsune miku is not ai. using vocaloid or synthv or utau is not anything like lazily ai generating a voice at all. grow the fuck up.

#sorry if i sound really pissed i am just passionate about vocal synths #vocaloid #utau #synthv

noticed a dip in posts about palestine on my dash, so i think it deserves to be said again: palestine is not a trend. caring about genocide is not a trend. there are still reports about humanitarian aid trucks intentionally blocked off from gaza, meaning so many fucking gazans, a big portion of them children, are just bleeding out with no help. it just came out recently that israelis disguised as women and medics infiltrated a west bank hospital, at which point they killed 3 palestinians (whom they claim were militants. right). these people are living day to day without even the most basic utilities. anyone who claims to have “activism fatigue” needs to question why they’re so severely lacking in the most basic forms of compassion. you don’t get to just grow bored of talking about palestine. please never stop calling attention to the genocide happening full force in front of us.

#it’s kind of crazy that the most active blogs i see talking about it rn are literal palestinians who had to go through such insane trauma #they shouldn’t be the only ones who continue being vocal about it #bisan absolutely did not announce the global strike to signal to ppl that they can just stop saying anything afterwards?? #i knew this would happen but i just didn’t expect it to happen so fast #please keep talking. #palestine #israel #gaza

making silly sounds doesn’t always have to serve a purpose and is sometimes done purely for whimsy’s sake

How does one read a birdwatching field guide?

Birdwatching is a popular hobby for people of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you’re a seasoned birdwatcher or a beginner, a good birdwatching field guide is an essential tool for identifying different species of birds. However, knowing how to use a birdwatching field guide can be daunting at first. In this article, we’ll provide some tips on how to read a birdwatching field guide…

Is there evidence of extinct dino vocalizations being as diverse as the vocalization of birds today? like fossilized srynx or hyoid bones? the idea of a forest without birdsong makes me sad :(

Don't worry! Dinosaurs had complicated larynxes, at least, we think so based on fossil evidence from an Ankylosaur. Beyond that, crocodilians also have complex vocalizations! So that forms a bracket around dinosaurs indicate that they all were quite noisy, for the most part! Even today there are quiet birds, so it would have been diverse and complex, but! There were plenty of noisy and musical dinosaurs even in the Mesozoic. In fact, one group - the Lambeosaurs - evolved the equivalent of brass instruments on their heads, and would have made lots of complex calls!

Not dumb at all! It’s a mix of body language, context, and vocal tone! @rorindiel

In that video the scream is a consistent pattern of slow spaced out repetitive screams. It’s a little hard to see in that clip but Newts side to side swaying/ jolty motion is a behaviour for being excited, both birds are thin but not outright skinnied out, and they bounce back and forth on where they’re looking.

If they were screaming out of fear we’d see super thin body language, the wings usually look like they’re being held away from the body a bit, as well as them fixating on the particular thing that’s triggering them and the scream is typically a very loud repetitive screech that runs in super quick succession. In most cases this is followed by flying away at high speeds but not always.

Then you’d have contact call screams which are typically one or two short shouts where the other bird responds with virtually the same sound. With these body language can vary but it’s usually decently relaxed (unless the bird is anxious and panicked trying to find its friend). Newt is nice and fluffed up and looking around but not overly worried.

Of course different species have different calls but that’s some bare bones stuff to consider!
