Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus)

the broken-wing display is one of my favorite examples of innate behaviors!! many bird families have evolved this trait independently, but killdeers are so iconic for it

Dandelion Waitress (TADC Spudsy's)

2026

She glides over and asks you for your order. She didn't even know she could rollerskate and is in fact sure that she never could....

So now there was a formula, a recipe, for making slurms, and a new genre was born: Slurmcore, the weird cross-faded cousin of nightcore and daycore. Generally speaking, a good slurm uses a song ripe for slurming, riffs on the original but sounds distinct from it, and has funny visuals to go with it. most slurms are “straight from the tap”, meaning aside from the beat warping, pitch shifting and some slight audio tweaks to improve the quality, it hasn’t been edited much. slurms “with additives”, though is where things get more experimental, with ytp style audios mixed in, more extensive distortion and other changes that completely transform the song. I prefer my slurms au naturale personally, but that’s just my opinion

Some personal favourites in the genre of mine include:

Hip To Be Square by Huey Lewis and The News

Chop Suey by System of a Down

Fireflies by Owl Town

Down Under by Men At Work

Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz

Head Over Heels by Tears For Fears

Ocean Man by Ween

Cotton Eye Joe by Rednex

Deltarune Fun Fact:

Quantum witch who has figured out how to store her nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and crippling depression into patterns compatible with human neural impulses and can project them in the form of hexes onto other people, or reverse the process to siphon thoughts.

Guy who had his entire digestive tract cybernetically enhanced so it constitutes over 1/3 of his body mass but he can use all his organs as extra limbs or attack with them like a starfish throws its stomach at its prey.

Retired military robot whose brain is a daisy chain of forty rat brains who is still trying to get its personhood legally recognized and resents not being able to do anything for itself without the aid of a "service human" who legally speaking technically owns it as a pet.

Guy who has had his entire skeleton replaced with a network of low level AI centipedes allowing him to react at incredible speeds and move in ways that shouldn't be possible.

House sized anthill which lives underground and interacts through a series of dozens of drones which can temporarily assemble into a humanoid shape if needed.

Orca who had most of her body destroyed by a depth charge during one of many surface wars and had her head and remaining spine installed into a colossal multiarmed mech suit to be able to collect the disability compensation after she sued, and uses it to maintain a coffee bar and support group focused on civilians injured in military or police actions.

Guy who installed entropic conversion units at key joints of his body which allows him to become super fast, hyper intelligent, super strong, and indestructible for ten minutes, but anything within a ten foot sphere around him at the start gets turned to ash.

Ratbot has a real uphill battle because if it wins personhood the military has to start paying benefits to every functional ratbot and they were created as disposable soldiers with human like intelligence but without any regulations about their rights. As far as the military is concerned they just need to stall until ratbot parts all run out and the one with the lawsuit breaks down permanently. Bad news for ratbots.

The mosquito hybrid is a low income area doctor. Wealthy people can afford nanoplants that run off vat grown synthetic material and have near perfect cell regrowth and life extension. Mosquito hybrid found their nanoplant as a junk discard experimental model and needed a set amount of insect genetic material before it worked.
