seabird and earth science enthusiast that sometimes does things. I really like winged humans and spec bio. working on a hard sci-fi webcomic with friends called Cs-137
THEY ARE HERE!!! I'm very excited to finally share the full designs hope you guys like them <3
These are only like a base, they'll wear more layers on top and have more weapons and armor some times (and like, wear other clothes) but I wanted to have at least one reference for myself that I can use and later on work on top of and give them more outfits (playing dolls with them basically)
I had a lot of thought behind the designs so if you're interested, there's an infodump below the cut. It's very long and messy so read at your own risk
I tried to have some sort of historical accuracy (even if it's a fictional story and the exact time period when it happens is ??) mainly bc I'm tired of how celts are portrayed in media (they wore tacky colors please stop with the grey brown leathers fur), and a bit bc I'm a nerd and I can't do anything if I don't do some research before.
On the other hand I wanted to make good character designs that told things about the characters and stuff, so I had to juggle a bit both things. Plus there's not much variation in clothing styles, so I had to do what I could.
I wanted to use colors, jewelery and styles to group or distinguish the characters. So Láeg and Emer wear a very similar color palette, Cú Chulainn has some blue in his mainly red outfit (and also the under tunic thing resembles Emer's) and Ferdia has some red in his mainly blue one.
Láeg and Cú Chulainn wear the same kind of thing, but I gave Cú Chulainn more layers in reference to the 34683 shirts thing. I went no pants wider belt for Ferdia bc honestly I didn't know how else to make a clear distinction as "this one character is from a different place", there's only so much you can do with the few styles there are.
Jewelery choices! This was a lot bc I really like torcs and I wanted to use them again to give Ulster characters and Connacht characters different kinds of torcs. My first instinct was to give Connacht those very heavy ones that have rings at the ends, but then I did some research and those were only found in england so. Then I went to look what kind of torcs were found in each place and I found that they were the same!!! Obviously!!! Bc they are next to eachother!!!
So I took creative choices and as I found some bracelets in Ulster that looked like torcs I went okay those done (plus they are way easier to draw) And I gave Ferdia the spirally one and Cú Chulainn the "bracelet" one. Plus gave a matching bracelet to Láeg. Emer wears a lunula bc her father is described as wearing one in The Hound of Ulster and I liked it.
(some pics for reference: from left to right the torc Ferdia wears, the bracelet Láeg wears and from were I based Cú Chulainn's torc, and the lunula Emer wears)
Also important, the headpiece Láeg wears. I used to draw Cú Chulainn with a similar one just because I liked it, but then after reading I liked that Láeg is the only one wearing it. At first I was going to give Emer a similar one but in the end decided against it to make it exclusive to Láeg and to not give her more jewelery than to Ferdia. I wanted Ferdia to wear a lot and be like, more stylish I guess bc I feel he cares about that stuff (I mean part of the bribe to fight Cú Chulainn was a brooch so)
And I think that's it! Sorry it was a lot hfasjkd but I wanted to share it. If there's something I have missed and you're curious to know about feel free to ask! I might have a long ass answer like this or it might be just because XD And if you have comments or opinions they are also welcome! I'm no expert or anything (just a big nerd) so I apreciate any insight.
And if you've gotten this far thank you for reading my yapping <3

Butchered tongue feels like that voice in the back of your head wondering if it’s safe every time you speak Irish
Butchered tongue feels like when you speak Irish and someone looks at you expecting a translation for the language that’s forever the beating soul of their own country
Butchered tongue feels like crossing the border and not seeing the Irish langauge signs anymore
Butchered tongue feels like trying everything to pull back as much of your culture as possible and never feeling like it’s enough
Butchered tongue feels like the guilt for not doing enough to save the language every time you look at Irish history and realise what people did to save it so you could speak it
Butchered tongue feels like every single time someone mocks Irish in front of you and looks surprised that you call them out on it
Butchered tongue feels like the anger every time you struggle in Irish because it should come so easy to you
Butchered tongue feels like the disgust every time you have to speak English because you don’t know the Irish for it
I don't blame you now because you see us in Gaza asking for your help, and many people are cursing me and wishing death upon me and my family.
I tell you, you are facing a true test of humanity. Everyone must share my message so that I can buy food for my children and live in a place fit for human beings.
Any amount, no matter how small, will help me buy even a simple meal. Please give what you can.
After their silence, complicity, or even cheers during the genocide in Gaza, the outrage of progressive politicians and establishment figures over Venezuela and now Greenland feels hollow. It doesn't feel real. It doesn't feel principled. In moments like these, it's hard to believe that goodness and morality will truly prevail.

I saw these in the wild. I kept hearing parrots but I couldn’t see any I thought I was going crazy. Until all the leaves of a tree took off. Brotogeris parrots are so funny to watch one of my favorite groups of birds ever
Here’s for all the autistics with special interests that scare the shit out of people and you aren’t allowed to talk about irl. Yap about it I CARE. Tell me about your obsession with terrorists and diseases that make your organs dissolve and 2 mile wide tornados that killed 4 storm chasers.
💔🇵🇸 My Daughter Was Born Under Bombs — I'm Just Trying to Keep Her Alive
My name is Abdulmajid.
I got married one month before the war.
Those were beautiful days — full of hope, love, and simple dreams.
I dreamed of a small home, a quiet family, and a baby girl I could hold without fear.
But the war came…
Suddenly. Brutally.
My mother was killed.
My brother was killed.
Children in my family were taken by the bombs.
My home was destroyed.
And my work stopped completely.
Then… in the middle of this nightmare, my baby girl was born.
A tiny soul, innocent, unaware of the war.
She cries from hunger, from cold, from the sounds of bombs shaking what’s left of our walls.
Today, I’m a father with almost nothing…
Fighting every day to find flour, milk, or even a small meal to feed my child.
Prices are sky-high — a single 25kg bag of flour can cost $800.
There is no work. No income. No safety. No stability.
I write this from under siege, hoping my heart will reach yours.
My name is Abedmajed Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.
Even $1 can make a difference.
It can feed a child, buy milk, or bring a moment of peace.
Be the heart that reaches Gaza. Be the hand that saves.
📌 Please share this post. Let our voices be heard — not buried under rubble.
Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #537 )✅️

Second image has no skin pockets for visibility purposes
How do the bird kids in maximum ride hides their wings? I have come to a conclusion. Skin pockets. They are made of highly elastic yet thick skin, which is very rubbery and is able to compress the wings (which can be uncomfy). In order to have the wings fit to the sides of the body, the ribcage is much thinner. To make up for reduced area for them to exist, the lungs have a much much much higher surface area than that of a typical human. Additionally, instead of a keel, their bones are artificially enhanced with carbon fiber, and they are much stronger than human bone, as well as light, making them able to support the powerful flight muscles while staying fairly light. The muscles are artificially enhanced as well, being much much stronger than what can occur naturally, so the flight muscles can be way smaller than that of naturally evolved flying vertebrates. The flight muscles are more batlike versus birdlike due to no place really to arrange the muscles for a pulley-like system like birds have, due to how low the wings are on the back. This also contributes to the chest being slightly flatter, as some of the flight muscle is on the back.
please actually reblog this post this time, as this one will gut national parks for more fucking paper. we have 14 days to stop it, giving us literally no time to do so.
they are literally betting on us to not do anything about it, because they're that desperate on keeping control, and ruining lives for everyone, but themselves.
Hi, I work in the National Park Service. You're right that American recreational areas are threatened by this proposal, but the Parks are NOT among them. This pertains to lands administered by my colleagues in the U.S. Forest Service only, which is bad, but the National Forests are under the Department of Agriculture instead of Interior for a reason. They are there for resource management with optional recreation amenities provided as well. Sites like Redwood NP, Yosemite NP, Cedar Breaks NM, Big Cypress NPP, and the Everglades NP are forested areas that are part of the Parks and will still be protected.
Schedule this shit to reblog itself once a day until the deadline. Use all your forgotten email accounts. Make a new one! Make your parents, friends, colleagues, weird people you’ve never met on LinkedIn leave a comment. This is the future of conservation and true wilderness at stake.
some quick sketches of some bones for winged gmh in Cs-137. This specific variety(? Idk I don’t have better word) has very long wings, unnecessarily long for flight, and they can launch most easily quadropedally, using the flattened area of the manus.
I’m going to hate read a book series for shits and giggles because its terrible- oh fuck its awful but I keep turning the pages it makes no sense and I hate it but I keep reading - Oh shit I’m thinking about their biology and I’m detailing evolutionary history and drawing detailed guides to anatomy oh shit oh fuck why does this keep happening to me

"Every night, My brothers and sisters, my sick parents, and I sleep in fear, praying that it won’t be our last night alive. We live with constant terror, and all we wish for now is to survive and find safety. Please, we are begging you—help us with any amount, even the smallest, so we can escape this nightmare and find a place where we can live in peace."❤️🩹

I definitely WOULD NOT consider myself part of the ACOTAR fandom, I kind of just have a habit of drifting in and out of random fandoms like a fart in the wind leaving a trail of spec bio
