Pick a Colour Pallatte, a character, + a Word and I will Draw it!*
(*Not me btw! I don't do digital art lol, I just made this becuase the colour schemes I made look super pretty and I know my friends might like it since they do digital art <3)
For those of you who just had your heart ripped out Landell style by Jennifer L. Armentrout, here's the teaser she posted on facebook for book four: (Keep Reading because SPOILERS)
Thousands poured from the Capital, carrying all that they could in their arms and on the backs. Some only cradled their children. Others bore the burden of the elderly and the sick. The stream of pale faces and harried features was endless as they passed the three of us, most not daring to even look in our direction. A few, the youngest among them, stared with wide eyes.
The gaze of small girl with her cheek resting on her father’s shoulder met mine. I wondered what she saw. A monster? Liberator? Death?
For some, I would become all of those things before the day was done.
Then the doors closed on the massive Rise.
“That is the last of those who have chosen to leave the Capital, your Highness.”
“And those who have decided to remain?” I asked.
“They know what they have sided with. They have chosen to die.”
And so they had.
I removed the golden crown, letting it fall from my fingers, to the ground. Setti tensed under me as I lifted the helmet, sliding in on.
Deep in the woods, a murmur of unease sounded from those who fled the city. Behind us, the leaves rattled. A piercing howl penetrated the stillness, followed by another and another. Yips and grows of warning rang through the air as the wolven raced through the trees and by the frightened people as they now froze where they were, cowering close to the ground. Setti shifted, shaking his mane.
“Momma! Look!” a young child shouted as the mother tried to shush him. “Momma! Look it!”
A shadow glided silently over the forest, momentarily blocking the sun. Then Royal Guards on the Rise stopped and looked up. The sound of death roared overhead, and a funnel of fire and energy spilled forth, striking the gates on the Rise. Large sections of limestone and iron cracked and gave way, crumbling to the ground and taking the Guards with it. The gateway was, for the briefest second, a wall of flames, and then it was gone.
“My Queen?”
“It is time.” I dug my knees into Setti’s sides and his powerful hooves kicked off the ground. The wolven broke through the tree line, an army of claws and teeth racing forward as another shadow, a smaller one, fell over me.
Do you have any pigeon facts? I know they used to be our cellphone equivalent and now they're just rats with wings.
like many other birds, pigeons can strongly sense the Earth's magnetic field, and use it to navigate! this ability gives them navigational accuracy somewhere between "18th century sailor with a sextant" and "amazon drone about to bullseye your new pants straight down your chimney"- so pretty impressive, for a bird!
that's right. all those shitting-on-your-car-right-after-you-just-washed-it incidents were NEVER accidents.
but the question for centuries has been, how the fuck are these little featherbags pulling this off? by what inscrutable mechanics does their incredible extra sense function???
and. well. it turns out. that they can just. see it.
basically, light from the sun physically interacts with Earth's magnetic field to do some pretty fucked-up quantum stuff to the electrons orbiting certain molecules in a pigeon's retinas, which their brain interprets as sensory input and overlays on their visual field!
tldr: pigeons can actually SEE earth's magnetic field, and as long as their eyes are in good working order, they have a permanent onboard compass leading them straight back home!
