Like, THE Skyborn? Like, the JESSICA KHOURY SKYBORN??? The BEST piece of literature of ALL TIME?
AND NOBODY TOLD ME????
HKPSJSHSBHKNFNSMSN? WHERE WERE YOU ALL?? MY COMFORT BOOKS??? HELLO???
STORY TIME AND YAP ABOUT HOW MUCH THESE BOOKS MEAN TO ME BELOW. My goodness my goodness I genuinely cannot contain my joy and whimsy right now
I genuinely read these books back in like 2021 when they first released in the Scholastic book fair that was hosted via my school. I literally told myself when entering the fair, “If I see a book with bird people or birds, I am buying it and reading it”.
I just wanted to read something self-indulgent without having to worry about what people thought. I loved birds at the time (still do! Take that stinky middleschoolers!), but I was bullied constantly for it… so, I wanted to have a personal book I could enjoy in my alone time without being judged.
And then I FOUND IT.
It was like FATE.
I saw the cover and was so scared one of the mean people who knew about my interest in birds would see me holding it. I genuinely shoved it under my arm and bought it to the checkout counter without even having to read the synopsis. It was under my reading level and I knew that. But I saw the cover and knew, this was the book.
After I read the first book in the series, I got HOOKED. Bought all the other books SOOO quickly.
After finishing the series, I thought, naively, “wow, this is going to be my niche little hyperfixation nobody will know and understand, and I will ultimately be the only person I’d ever know to have read it. It’s a shame this book Dosen’t have a community or whatever, cuz I would love to see what others thought of the book!”
BUT IT DOES EXIST.
ON THIS WONDERFUL WONDERFUL PLATFORM.
I mean, I should KNOW that Tumblr is the ultimate meeting grounds of niche fandoms but…
OH MY PEOPLE… YOU EXIST AND I AM SO HAPPY
I need to talk to you all NOWWW… oh my god I need to reread this book series don’t I. I need to again get mentally ill over bird people right now don’t I.
My favorite character is Nox by far. God he is such an amazing little weirdo. I love him so dearly. I miss him so much guys.
UGHHH. UGH I JUST LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SERIES.
I need people to understand how much this means to me that there is even, even if it’s a small amount, of fans of this book series. It’s just AGHHHHH. This book was seriously such a comfort to me, like a little guilty pleasure for a person that was constantly made fun of for her childish interests. This book series means so so so so SOOOOOO much.
I felt the love that was put into it, the passion, the WORLDBUILDING? The REAL LIFE BIRD KNOWLEDGE?? THE DRAMMMAAA???

oh look it’s the “doomed by the narrative” squad!! part of it anyway. icara and tanra corvain, underrated characters fr. lots of new textures to draw in this one, SO much stone and fire. we get some good descriptions of icara (and even a sketch by the author on her insta), so i had a good sense of what i was doing (note the comb, cracks in her arm, and earthstone pendant) but for tanra? ehhh not much. only a vague photograph of her and some deduction based on her family members. but tanra has probably been my favorite of these so far, why did no one tell me drawing middle aged people is fun?? look at those gray streaks!! this is after she gains phoenix wings, before she’s killed. i gave her similar fashion to nox, with a touch of southern jungles (her clay bead necklace and ashmark hair stick). also notice the crow feather on her necklace…. i have a hc that married couples wear each other’s feathers, so that’s jaff’s.
lots of lore dump on this one but i put in a lot of time and effort so it’s fine :) anyway enjoy
A Festa de Corpus Christi é a celebração do Santíssimo Sacramento da Eucaristia; o único dia do ano que o Santíssimo Sacramento sai em procissão às ruas. Sua origem está relacionada a um milagre ocorrido na Idade Média: O Sacerdote Pedro de Praga passava pela Vila Bolsena, não longe de Roma e se hospedou na Igreja de Santa Catarina. Enquanto celebrava uma Missa, pediu ao Senhor que retirasse suas dúvidas sobre a presença de Jesus na Eucaristia. No momento em que elevou a Eucaristia, a hóstia começou a sangrar. O sangue escorria por todo o chão. O fato foi informado ao Papa Urbano IV, que estava em Orvieto. Ele enviou um bispo a essa vila para verificar a veracidade do acontecimento. O bispo viu que a hóstia sangrava e o chão, o altar e o corporal estavam todos manchados de sangue. O bispo pegou as provas do milagre e voltou para mostrar ao Papa. O Papa, entretanto, ficou incomodado e resolveu ir ao encontro do bispo. O Papa, ao ver todas as provas do milagre, ajoelhou-se no chão, dobrou-se sobre aquela hóstia sangrando e exclamou: “Corpus Christi (Corpo de Cristo)!”. Já os tapetes de Corpus Christi têm origem portuguesa, chegando ao Brasil na época da colonização. A prática remete à acolhida de Jesus em Jerusalém. A tradição cristã conta que, na ocasião, as pessoas cobriram as ruas de ramos e mantos para a passagem do Messias. Nas cidades onde ocorrem procissões no feriado de Corpus Christi, os tapetes geralmente são confeccionados ainda na madrugada, para que fiquem prontos a tempo do cortejo. São eles que sinalizam o trajeto que será percorrido pelos fiéis. *em Içara este ano os tapetes foram feitos com cobertores, edredons e mantas que serão doados a pessoas carentes. ➡️ Siga @santaebelacatarina para mais informações de eventos comemorativos 📷 Fotos: 01 e 02 - @andreottokrautz (Angelina) 03 - @igrejas.de.sc (Itajaí) 04 e 06 - @omunicipiobrusque (Brusque) 07 - @portallitoralsuloficial (Içara) 08 - @igrejas.de.sc (Itajaí) 09 - @authenticmaria (Itajaí) 10 - @omunicipiobrusque (Brusque) #santaebelacatarina #turismonosul #mtur #descubrasc @connectingtoworld #santacatarina #corpuschristi #brusque #angelina #itajai #icara (em Santa Catarina) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce4R4pwpWx0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
