Two Different Final Versions Of The Gideon Gif

two different final versions of the gideon gif

edit: there are new and improved final versions lol

maximum ride was on my mind today and I haven't drawn her in like half a decade so I figured I needed to

support your local library!

this post sent me on a babs rabbit hole bc i've really never thought about him much other than things like "ew"

anyways here's naberius tern (harry styles' version (walmart version))

p.s. I know it doesn't look exactly like harry-- I just briefly referenced him while sketching

best part of the locked tomb is if it was ANY other story naberius would be the number one guy. he’s a prince and somehow also a bodyguard and he’s a gifted fighter and devoted to the princesses and he has swoopy hair and dreamy eyes and no one gives a shit, because they’re all married/gay/focused on the actual plot. naberius is the lost love interest from a shitty ya fantasy novel that culminates in a love triangle between him, corona, and silas. this man is harry styles in a room full of lesbians

Fun little Quirks for the Flock!

(AKA: I don’t believe in superpowers, but I do believe in uncanny valley)

Tapetum Lucidum/Eyeshine. The classic staple. The shorthand, if you will, of saying “this thing ain’t human”. Most birds have yellow or red eyeshine to further distance them from mammals.

On a related note, bird pupils can normally expand way more than a human’s, especially in dim light. Catch any of the flock around dusk and there’s hardly any Iris left, just these black voids in the middle of their face.

Bird noises, my beloved— the flock can have a wide range of very-not-human sounds that they use among each other, and there’s no reason for these isolated kids to ever realize that they maybe shouldn’t do that in front of other humans.

So owls are not the only bird with extended neck movements. A lot of birds have higher neck mobility. Which is to say that the flock should be able to turn their heads a good 120 degrees without much issue, and this is ANOTHER thing that they’d likely forget most people can’t do.

I know it was a funny moment when someone tried to give them bird seed, but it would be genuinely interesting for them to have diet changes. All of them have given into the urge to eat raw meat at least once. Some of them do it regularly, especially when they’re traveling.

Straight-up teeth gore. Birds are, at their core, reptiles, closely related to alligators and crocodiles. So it makes sense for the flock, since they have teeth instead of beaks, to have them fall out and regrow from time to time, especially if those teeth are damaged.
