- Gobbles is a strong contender for my favorite Glitch character rn. A little too early in the show to say for sure, but he is so good.

- Kit is so fucking hot and the animaters know it. They knew exactly what they were doing with all her outfit changes and zooming in on her shoulder blades so much in that cute af swimsuit.

- The existential dread of the premise is absolutely sublime.

- Kit's conversation with Flappers near the end about not blaming yourself for the destruction you accidentally caused by playing into a system you didn't know was evil hit really close to home and had me sobbing.

In a world of bipeds, only a select few are featherless.

Pigeons are among the most familiar birds in the world, yet they are often overlooked. Whether seen resting on city rooftops, flying gracefully across the sky, or being carefully raised by bird enthusiasts, pigeons have a unique charm that deserves appreciation. Their gentle nature, remarkable intelligence, and strong sense of direction make them one of the most fascinating birds on Earth.

One of the most impressive qualities of pigeons is their ability to find their way home from incredible distances. For centuries, people relied on homing pigeons to deliver important messages during wars, emergencies, and long-distance communication. Even with modern technology, their natural navigation skills continue to amaze scientists and bird lovers alike.

Pigeons are highly social birds that thrive in groups. They form strong bonds with their mates and are known for their loyalty. Most pigeon species choose a single partner and often stay together for life. Both parents share the responsibility of building nests, incubating eggs, and feeding their chicks with a nutrient-rich substance called "crop milk." This teamwork highlights the deep sense of care and commitment found within pigeon families.

Beyond their intelligence, pigeons are admired for their incredible flying abilities. Their powerful wings allow them to fly long distances at impressive speeds while maintaining excellent balance and control. Fancy pigeon breeds, with their vibrant colors, unique feather patterns, and elegant appearance, have become popular among breeders and bird enthusiasts around the world. Each breed has its own distinct beauty, making pigeon keeping both a hobby and a passion for many people.

Pigeons also play an important role in nature. They help disperse seeds, contribute to urban ecosystems, and provide food for various birds of prey. Their ability to adapt to different environments—from bustling cities to peaceful countryside landscapes—demonstrates their resilience and remarkable survival skills.

Despite their common presence, pigeons remind us of qualities that are increasingly valuable in today's fast-paced world: loyalty, perseverance, cooperation, and resilience. They quietly go about their lives without seeking attention, yet their history and behavior tell a story of intelligence, trust, and endurance.

As we watch a flock of pigeons take flight together, we witness more than just birds in the sky. We see perfect coordination, freedom, and the beauty of unity. These graceful creatures inspire us to appreciate the simple wonders of nature and to recognize that even the most familiar animals can teach us meaningful lessons about life.

“I am thinking of beauty again, how some things are hunted because we have deemed them beautiful. If, relative to the history of our planet, an individual life is so short, a blink, as they say, then to be gorgeous, even from the day you're born to the day you die, is to be gorgeous only briefly.”
