🌟 Feather Creates Shop Update! 🌟

I've just added three brand-new stickers to my shop www.feathercreates.com - the warbling Australian Magpie, the quirky Crested Pigeon and the bouncy Spotted Pardalote!

If you're in Australia, you can order these cuties right now at www.feathercreates.com!

All my 100% Aussie-made stickers are hand-drawn by me (absolutely NO AI, ever), are made from weatherproof, water-resistant and UV-protected die-cut vinyl and feature a gorgeously soft matte laminate finish.

You can also find many other adorable feathered friends on stickers, blankets, mouse pads and more! 💜

It ain't Wrensday, so Superb Sunday will have to do! 💙

Been a bit crook with a cold this week, but have been slowly making progress on a brand new pattern design when I've got the spoons. Playing around with (very rough) flower shapes at the moment!

Aussie magpies, the musicians of the morning 🌄✨

There is nothing better than a good ol’ magpie warble to start your day, especially when they’re right outside your window! (Although I think the little maggie babies practicing their song comes as a pretty close second, they’re so mumbly and cute!! 😂)

This fella joins his crested pigeon and spotted pardalote friends in the next shop update at www.feathercreates.com, happening in a few weeks!

[feathercreates]

He's just a little guy looking for tasty lerp!! *v*

I've seen Spotted Pardalotes twice in my life (because they are Very Small and Hard to Spot) and have nearly imploded from cuteness overload both times.

This sticker will join his friend the Crested Pigeon (and another mystery guest!) when I do my first big shop update for www.feathercreates.com!

(also I learned these guys are also called 'peep-wrens' and that is so ridiculously cute I may implode a third time, send help)

[feathercreates]

Clearly this is the best pigeon, peeps—just look at his hat! Coming to www.feathercreates.com at some point soon! :>

yes I am aware of the spinifex pigeon and the crowned pigeons and the topknot pigeon I don't care I see hats in my yard on the regular so they are the best fight me

[feathercreates]

god I love birds with hats (in this case, the majestic crested pigeon) also you can appreciate the chicken-scratchiness of me sketches :>

[feathercreates]

It’s happening!! I finally finished my little online shop!!

www.feathercreates.com

Right now I’m only shipping to Australia*, but if that’s where you are, and you love birds, then have I got a treat for you!! 

That’s right! Cute and colourful Aussie bird stickers!!

And, if you’re willing to wait a few weeks for shipping, I also have some adorable patterns available on print-on-demand goodies, too!

If you’d like to support an autistic Aussie artist (and bird nerd) and shop local, I’d be immensely happy and grateful! 

You can also find me on other socials, including Facebook, Instagram and Bluesky. <3  

*Hopefully shipping to other countries later, but all this is very new to me and taxes are complicated *sob*

the Viktor talking to Sky storyboards have irrevocably changed my brain chemistry so you know I had to make it real guys based on the below Viktor smile that we were all denied in the final episode cut

no I will not be taking further comments this smile is canon now

[feathercreates]

"Sky, your hair looks just like starlight! It's beautiful." "You think so? So do I!"

my precious astral babies I will love you forever oh my god (Bonus panels under the cut!)

I think I saw your genesis x cissnei work many years ago and I have you to thank for my shipping them until now hahaha yours was truly a vision ✨️

@another-dreamless-daze, oh my god??? really??? I have the biggest smile on my face now holy heck, I've been sailing alone in my little boat of Genesis/Cissnei for so long, it's delightful to know it's not just me! ;w;

There's just some feeling I get when imagining them together that just GETS me so damn bad, even though they don't ever truly interact... the nearest we get is this scene here, and that's a Genesis copy that tried to do her in, OTL.

I think Cissnei's appreciation for wings and what they mean to her personally (freedom from a life where she had minimal / difficult choices, having come from a ShinRa-run orphanage that sounded pretty brutal to the kids, to the point where she ended up being the youngest Turk ever) would definitely leave her with some sort of envy/longing/hurt over how Genesis (and Angeal by extension) appears to view his own.

Maybe she's jealous that Genesis managed to break free from otherwise being firmly in ShinRa's clutches (especially if she was aware of how he was made by the Jenova project). That he literally flew the coup, wings and all, and perhaps a hidden part of her wishes she could have the courage to do the same one day. (It's not like she chose ShinRa, it was the environment she was raised in, and her only path to a better life.)

And we also know she's got a little rebellious streak for helping others/doing the right thing (i.e. w/ Zack and Cloud on the run near CC's end). So I wonder, if she harboured any feelings for Genesis at any point, how she might act on them during CC, being a Turk and all.

I also think, if the opportunity of her being close to Genesis ever presented itself somehow during CC, she'd be really fascinated by/in awe of his feathers, and that might throw him off guard. (:< (I drop a few little fun tidbits of both of them in my fic, Thing With Feathers, that basically covers this XD)

Basically the potential for angst and drama and romantic/sexual tension lives in my head rent free lmao

And let's be honest they would just be such an aesthetic pair, especially now we've seen Cissnei's FF7: Rebirth outfit, hnngg. and she'd also be able to dish back whatever snarky/cheeky attitude Genesis could throw at her, too. oh, the trouble they could cause...

Now my brain is going off on a potential post-DoC Genesis/Cissnei thing, oh my god...

ack sorry I started rambling, thank you so much for popping this gem in my inbox! <3

Rating: T Time Period: Just before Crisis Core Pairings: None Genre: Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Friendship Status: Complete Warning(s): Minor gore, some swearing Main character(s): Genesis Rhapsodos, Angeal Hewley, Sephiroth

Summary Three friends dine before battle. One generously hosts. One tries to make amends. The one that is left… becomes a monster.

(Oh look it's another fic with 'feather' in the title, I wonder what this might be about? jfgskdfjksad yes I made Genesis very sad and then gave him many hugs, what did you expect?)

[feathercreates]

"Genesis...that's rude!" - Angeal Hewley

In which a salty teen Genesis gets a little bit cheeky over losing a spar with Sephiroth again.

Angeal still thinks it's a hilarious addition to his growing photobook, though. :P

[feathercreates]

"Even the mightiest SOLDIERs take naps!" - Angeal Hewley

In which Angeal captures a moment too rare to miss between his friends on their way to a mission somewhere.

could this also be useful as blackmail? probably XD

becky lemme smash please (a.k.a. I found a Satin Bowerbird bower down by my local creek and was a little bit inspired. XD) Stickers, pattern goodies and more can be found on my Redbubble store here!
