Korrasami Week 2025 - Day 6: Lazy Mornings
@korrasami-week-2025
Meant to finish this yesterday, but the day got ahead of me 😅
Thank you everyone for the likes and support! It's been a tough week irl, and this has been a much-needed distraction. 💖
See you into the next year!
I don't read a lot of ongoing fics but when I do I leave comments about every little thing I like and the feelings it made me feel. Even if they're repetitive every update. I WILL leave enough of them that the author remembers my name
I see your fic! I appreciate your fic! I saw that one sentence of foreshadowing! That tiny detail made me smile! You're sneaking in references! Author you are gearing up for angst I can see it in your word choices!!
To be loved is to be known and I will show you how much I love

This took me so much longer than I hoped, but it's here! I'm not giving up on this fic Jelsa fam, I swear!
Every day... I chip away at this plot... little by little...

as an archivist I am begging you
put dates on everything
don’t believe digital stuff is preserved forever - if it’s really important (documents, photos, etc) print it out
name your files accurately I know it sucks but please
don’t destroy the original just bc you scanned it
rubber cement is the devil’s adhesive use photo corners and quit gluing shit
you will NOT remember write it down
if you staple things to the inside of a folder I will find you
your public library probably has equipment to digitize old media for free or can at least get you connected with somewhere that does!
I was literally running to a medical appointment because I was late but I had to stop to take this photo
Me: *waking up in a somewhat depressed mood and feeling tired with mild body pain* why am I like this?
Also me yesterday: *woke up very early, spent the whole day in unfamilliar places with lots of people and needing to be vigilant and masking to be sociable while walking around with a still healing foot and got home late-ish*
Me:...right
Tears of the silent princess
Oh yeah uh ramble about totk below the cut
Every time I hear that cover of The Seed where Aurora has that choir of men singing with her, I imagine it’s a massive flock of sky kids singing along with her. Often times, it’s directed at the injustice that happened before The Fall, and the sky kids are screaming at the ancestors to stop whatever it is they did that caused the darkness to come into their world.

Name: Griffin Scientific Name: Avisbestia chimaerica
⤷ Classification:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Avesmammalia (hybridized class)
Order: Gryphiformes
Family: Gryphidae
Species: Multiple subspecies
Type: Hybrid Beast
Alignment: Highly variable (species-dependent)
Appearance:
Size: Typically matches the size of the quadruped half (e.g., Sparrow/Mouse the size of a mouse, Swan/Sheep the size of a sheep, Flamingo/Giraffe very large).
Head/Front Half: Avian, with feathers, wings, beak, and talons.
Body/Rear Half: Quadruped mammalian/reptilian/etc. depending on subspecies.
Fur/Feathers: Pattern and color blend bird and mammal traits.
Other Details: Lay eggs like their avian counterpart.
Reproduction & Behavior:
Sexual Dimorphism: Minimal, though males often have more elaborate plumage (like their bird side).
Intelligence: Varies; eagle/lion griffins are considered highly intelligent (dog-like or higher), while pigeon/rat griffins behave more instinctively.
Parental Care: Egg-layers; both parents may participate in nesting and guarding, depending on subspecies.
Ecology:
Diet: Omnivorous overall; diet depends on subspecies (predatory ones eat meat, smaller ones eat grains/insects).
Habitat: Found worldwide, often cohabiting with their bird and mammal counterparts.
Behavioral Pattern: Diurnal or nocturnal depending on subspecies. Many are social flock/herd animals (sparrow/mouse, pigeon/rat), while some are solitary hunters (eagle/lion).
Natural Enemies: Manticores, dragons, and humans (who often capture/train them).
Population Control: Naturally limited by predation, hunting, and habitat competition with their “pure” animal counterparts.
Cultural Status:
Threat Level: Variable.
Eagle/Lion – Considered dangerous but noble.
Sparrow/Mouse – Harmless, even pests in cities.
Nicknames:
“Sky-Lions” (for eagle/lion)
“Sky Vermin” (for pigeon/rat & sparrow/mouse)
Legality: Some subspecies are domesticated (swan/sheep, chicken/pig), while predatory ones are regulated or banned in cities.
Cultural Role: Revered as guardians, pests, or livestock depending on subspecies.
Biological Weaknesses:
Over-specialization (e.g., pigeon/rat griffins spread disease, eagle/lion ones struggle in captivity).
Egg vulnerability – easy targets for predators.
Some hybrids have awkward physiologies (e.g., flamingo/giraffe have joint stress).
Recognized Subspecies (from the image):
Aquileo Griffin (Gryphus aquileo) – Eagle/Lion. Classic and most iconic subspecies, apex predator.
Cygnovis Griffin (Gryphus cygno-ovis) – Swan/Sheep. Docile, kept as farm animals and mounts. But may pinch their owner.
Passerid Griffin (Gryphus passeromus) – Sparrow/Mouse. Tiny, city-dwelling, considered cute but pest-like.
Gallucid Griffin (Gryphus galloporcus) – Chicken/Pig. Common farm griffin, bred for eggs, meat, and companionship.
Corvucyon Griffin (Gryphus corvyonis) – Crow/Raccoon. Mischievous scavengers, clever and adaptable.
Colurattus Griffin (Gryphus colomuris) – Pigeon/Rat. Urban nuisance, spread disease, swarm in great flocks.
Apteline Griffin (Gryphus felapteryx) – Kiwi/Cat. Small, shy, nocturnal hunters, catlike personalities.
Phoenicamelus Griffin (Gryphus phoenicamelus) – Flamingo/Giraffe. Towering but gentle, often mistaken for divine creatures.
Many other exist. Basically every mix bird/quadruped exist, even if some are more rare than others.
⚖ Debated Origin:
Some scholars believe griffins evolved naturally from convergent evolution and magical pressures.
Others insist they were created by gods, trickster spirits, or bored fae blending animals together.
