the day storm petrels r mentioned in a sparkbird song is the day i will rest peacefully. maybe they have been but i havent been keeping up a lot i just found out storm petrels are STINKY!!

heres some other fun facts i really like about them old scottish sailors would use them as candles!! they would take the bird and stuff a wick into it , as they were easier to find then wax! their oily bodies were perfect for candles. they hunt by pitter-patering ontop the water, eating small crustaceans and fish and plankton--- because of this pattern, they are called st peters bird as it looks like their walking on water!! their apart of tubenose birds, which places them with ablatrosses! their also relatives to the procellariformes family, which is where i got my usename from they are often called water witches!! this is because some tales will link it to witches that bring storms, and STORM petrels are often seen.. well, around storms! the main reason their seen during this time is because they will look for any shelter to hide from storms, and that will include sailors boats. this also made them seen as a bad omen-- kind of like the black cats of the sea, as i like to call them. i mean, associated with witches and seen as bad luck? sounds pretty similar. the least storm petrel is also the smallest seabird in the world, also slightly smaller than a finch, but larger than a bee hummingbird- about double the size. despite being so small, they can live up to 30 years! north american river otters will hunt them!! i thought that was pretty interesting they have really weak legs!! stupid bird forgot leg day they are called mother careys chickens by sailors!! mother carey, also known as the virgin mary!! lots of divine and religious names ... which is why they interest me so much - im not religious fyi this also means u could say storm petrel butt instead of chicken butt. i have done this before. i know im cringe shutt uppp. okthats all.

space AU for Clint&Sam?

Clint is a space cadet turned alien smuggler for aliens who need to get off their home world and make it to a new one, obviously, and Sam is a telepathic species of alien that looks human, but are so very much not. Psychic powers, etc. Clint’s ship breaks down about halfway between the planet he’s escaping and Sam’s planet, and he has to use either his escape pod or slap together a way to make it there, idk.

So he ends up on Sam’s planet with a bunch of refugees (maybe like. Peter and Wanda and Pietro and Kate) and they are being chased by the bad guys who don’t want the refugees to escape, but!! Sam’s people are able to disguise them and keep them safe when the bad guys come looking, until one of Sam’s species gives them up because they don’t like outsiders. Sam of course is super curious and wants to go on adventures etc and peppers Clint with questions about his space life.

In the meantime, Sam and Clint are building sexual tension which is weird because neither of them know if they’re physcially compatible, but they can’t hide the emotions because psychic powers, duh. and they’re right about to find out when another ship lands!! and it’s the bad guys!

There’s a big fight and Clint saves Sam’s life during it, resulting in a mid battle kiss (i.e., pirates of the caribbean style), and then after the battle is over Sam leaves his planet with Clint to be his partner in smuggling refugees.

stranded on a desert island & green-eyed epiphany for samclint!

Sam’s not jealous of a piece of driftwood. He’s not. It’s just a chunk of wood being carried by Clint.

Shirtless.

Sweaty.

In the sunlight.

But he’s not jealous of the piece of wood, because it’s just a piece of wood. He’s the one who gets to sleep next to Clint while they’re on this godforsaken island—to keep warm, of course—he’s the one who gets to talk to Clint all day, and he’s the one who watch Clint try and make them a fort to sleep in.

“The storm’ll be here soon, I think,” Clint says, forcing the driftwood into place in the sand. “Probably should start getting all the supplies into the fort.”

“Yeah,” Sam agrees. “I’ll grab the water?”

“You’ll do no such thing,” Clint says, planting his hand on Sam’s chest to keep him sitting.

Sam really hopes Clint can’t feel how fast his heart is beating right now. “I won’t?”

“Nope,” Clint says cheerfully. “You’ll stay put while I get the supplies, and then I’ll come back for you. Gotta stay off that leg, Sammy boy.”

Sam grumbles, but he doesn’t put up any real fight. Clint gathers all their food and water and puts it inside the fort, then comes back for Sam. “I coulda walked,” Sam tries halfheartedly.

“Nah,” Clint says, scooping him up like he weighs less than that piece of wood. “Besides, I was getting kind of jealous.”

“Jealous?” Sam asks. “Of what?”

Clint blushes, his already sunburnt skin going a shade darker. “Of the chair,” he admits. “It’s stupid.”

“You—oh. Oh.” Sam blinks, his mouth open in surprise. “I was jealous of the wood you were carrying earlier,” he admits.

“Aw, Sammy,” Clint teases. He gently sets Sam down on their shared bedroll, propping himself up on an elbow next to him. “Whaddaya say we make good on this surprise vacation, hm?”

“I thought you’d never ask,” Sam says grinning.

sam/clint ghost au?

Sam’s a pretty straightforward guy, he thinks. He believes in what he can see, hear, and touch, and anything that isn’t that is probably a trick.

You can understand why he’s surprised when a (can he say a ghost is ridiculously attractive?) ghost cartwheels through the wall and comes to a stop right in front of him, grinning.
