Warmer Weather (2019)
Birdfest 2024, a few days ago.
Seagulls stole my entire burger once 😔
This was a particularly pretty cloud formation during the storm yesterday. Looks like an angel wing! <3
This cloud started as a small cute puffy white cloud yesterday.
Three seagulls.
Flags in the breeze.
So I listened to 'seagulls stop it now' and now youtube thinks it is an actual song that I would listen in my actual song listening time
Seagull decided to help itself to a guy bag of food. #seagulls #naturesgaragedisposal #summer #sand #shoo #getaway #helpyourself
There is poison in the water 💔
time for me to talk more about my campaign!
so, this is like an urban fantasy sort of deal.
my players so far are a siren who won’t sing, a living statue, and a pigeon harpy.
one of my absolute favorite npcs is a harpy shop npc. actually two of my favorites are harpies.
they’re both seagull harpies, absolute gremlins.
if any of you remember that seagull covered in curry? yeah, he’s a harpy living under a picnic table in the park. you give him food, he gives you random items of varying usefulness.
and then there’s kallisto. she’s a random encounter, will ask for food and then just kind run off. she doesn’t give you anything for a while. then, eventually, she starts giving you little magic items. these generally act as separate random encounters.
oh, and her name means most beautiful. she is not conventionally that. she’s just a scrappy little seagull that steals your fries and screams at random moments out of boredom.
so yeah, i love her.
growing up by the coast means that instead of crows on your roof you get seagulls and it honestly feels much more threatening
Quanda poesia e bellezza portano con se queste meraviglie alate, i gabbiani.
Allego un video con un brano dell'immenso Franco Battiato che con la sua poesia racconta questi esseri volanti.
Me, minding my entire business:
My brain: “Rockin.’ Rockin’ and rollin.’ Round down that beach I was strollin’”
Yoda is the best!
Song- Seagulls by A Bad Lip Reading
Outcast.
Seagulls are just beach pigeons and have limited grace, style, and cleverness, while on the other hand, corvids are sleek, fast, have phenomenal visual acuity, are super intelligent, and have other attributes that place them well above other birds. And a Crow (and its cousin, the Raven), will interact with humans quite nicely, although if you make an enemy of one, for whatever reason, be prepared to deal with the consequences. For a long time...
And then there are the supernatural components to a corvid, but that's a topic for another post...

Just curious about everyone’s thoughts on this as I’ve been thinking about urban wildlife a lot lately
