Sometimes it really astounds me just how small some animals are. In the bathroom I saw a spider barely larger than a crumb. Actually probably smaller than a crumb. Absolutely miniscule little arthropod. And it's just like!! How are you alive!! Are there liquids in you?? How would they fit through your tiny body?? And like. What would I seem like to an animal that small?? Would I even register as another living being or more like a structure that moves sometimes, like how tree branches move in the wind? I am just so full of wonder at the world
So I'm trying to make some music polls and I'm using mp3s and for some fucking reason tumblr just??? refuses to let me paste some in the post?? Key word Some. Only some of them. No fucking clue why and I'm going to start biting
Like it's only 2 out of the 6 songs and I'm just??? Why
hey uhhh if anyone wants to find us elsewhere since it seems tumblr is shitting its pants: we can be found on Dreamwidth at lightning_beast. and Nowhere Else because we are actively refusing to use bluesky
Hello! I am Delta, the owner of this blog. (Pre-syscovery I/we were Corvus.)
I'm median. So basically there's more than one me? I guess? I thought they were just kintypes but no yeah there's three of me. Stardust is the Deinonychus, Comet is the dragon, and Sharpwhistle is the raven. If you need to refer to us as a whole just call us Corvus or Delta.
We also have a fictive of Susie from Deltarune, and three dæmons, Mozzarella (the Deltas' dæ) Caeruleus (collective dæ? I guess?), and Applesauce (Susie's dæ).
I/we? also have 3 hearttypes, alligator, rat, and Spinosauridae. Just all of them. Every spinosaurid.
I/we mostly just reblog things here (so far at least..) but I thought it would be nice to have a pinned post for once.
You can also find me/us at @shapeshifter-and-spinosaurus for dæmonism related posts (and whatever Mozzy & Cae want me to put there.)
(Tag directory is under the read more.)
TAG DIRECTORY
#delta squawks - Original posts. Formerly #corvus squawks
#β΅- Stardust's posts. Either posts they made or posts they like. Mostly dromaeosaurids. Formerly #the raptor, old posts are still tagged as such.
#β- Comet's posts. Same as above but dragon flavor. Formerly #the wyrm, old posts are still tagged as such.
#β§- Sharpwhistle's posts. Again, same as the last two. Expect to see so many raven pictures. Formerly #the bird, old posts are still tagged as such.
#β- Gender/weather tag. Yes precipitation is part of my gender don't worry about it. The best way i can think to sum it up is like.. Butch but in a male bird way. Also there's something going on with comets and lightning and other bright lights which is directly connected to the bird thing. Idk either man. Formerly either #βοΈ or #βοΈ.
#π£: Mozzarella's tag. Usually has: Any of his forms, beetles, the color green, sound effects, references to songs he likes, anything about being a shapeshifter.
#π- Caeruleus's posts as well as the Delta's spinosaurid hearttype. It's a fish because Caeruleus loves fish. Formerly #π.
#π: Similarly to some tags above, these are Susie's posts. Mostly fanart so far but there's also stuff about being fictionfolk and pictures of lizards here and there. And whatever else she wants there, of course.
#π- Applesauce's posts as well as the Delta's alligator hearttype. I'm pretty sure the image here is a crocodile but it's close enough, Applesauce is usually a croc anyways. Formerly #π.
#β- Goldenrod's tag. Probably going to be Oops All Coyotes but we'll see
#rat tag- The Delta's rat hearttype. It's rats. What were you expecting
#Horsey land- Horses. You thought i was going to pick a horse emoji? No. Wrong. This is a reference to something very specific so unless you're my brother you'll have no clue what this is referring to btw
#delta's doodles- My art. It's as shrimple as that
#waso mu- toki pona tag, used for anything toki pona related.
Since you've made it to the end of this long ass post, you should listen to this song. It's one of my favorites. Please
Ok so we haven't watched any of the Mind's Eye series yet but I would not be surprised at all if I discover a new kintype from it because like.. there is just Something about early CGI that feels. Very Me.
I had a dream about alligators. More specifically, alligator people. People that were once humans. (I don't remember why humans were getting tirned into gator people but I know it was with like, science. I think it was to save humanity from some disaster of some kind?) Like, humans were going extinct or something so they made animal people?) I think physical characteristics were decided by a dice roll, as I distinctly remember saying that I got a nat 20 on the tail size roll (i did in fact have a huge tail). I was in some kind of dark lab sorta room with a huge feline person (maybe a liger? they were a big cat with stripes). At some point after I'm running through a green building (as in, the entire inside was shades of green. I never saw the outside.) notably hunched over on account of being a huge anthropomorphic alligator person. Also I'm digitigrade when I run. It was like an office building, everyone else was a gator person too.I remember climbing over cubicles and crashing through glass. It was very fun and thankfully no one gave enough of a shit to stop me. At the end I was in what seemed to be a children's library (the children were also alligators predictably) and one of them said (very politely) that crashing through a window (which was how I got into the library portion of the building) was a bad idea. They also recommended an author by the name of Gerson and I said "my friend Susie told me about him". I saw a book about dragons, and also found a wooden snake toy painted green. Susie said (internally) it reminded her of her dΓ¦mon Applesauce and I agreed with her. And I think very shortly after I got woken up π
β΅ - So, I've been thinking about changing my name. For future reference, it's currently Stardust - not a bad name by an means, but I feel like it doesn't represent me well enough. I don't really have much of a space motif going on, it's more so the night sky. Which does have many stars of course, but stardust implies outer space, to me. Which makes me think more of my headmate Comet. Another reason for this is that I want to match Goldenrod, as we're quite similar in a lot of ways and yet also different. Mirror images of each other. Like the sun and moon, summer and winter, or you could even say like gold and silver. Goldenrod is a species of wildflower. So it stands to reason that my name would be another plant species, except instead of being called gold it would be silver. I've settled on Argentina anserina. Or... silverweed. Ironically its flowers are yellow, but it's actually named for the slivery fuzz on the underside of its leaves. So unless I change my mind, from now on I am Silverweed Talon. Or just Silver for short :)
