playing a fun game of caffeine vs melatonin or as i like to call it "states of consciousness speedrun"
sometime i have fully gotten over an childhood interest to the point of almost forgetting it and then i see something completely innocuous related to it one day and then the Obsession™ returns, like a basketball to the face with the only warning being someone far away hollering "heads!" mere seconds before it hits
mob from mob psycho 100 was in my dream and i told him i liked the cardigan he was wearing, called him a little guy, and patted his head
how i've been feeling lately.
hey, [puts my hand on your shoulder, nods solemnly] get a lip piercing.
The day I learn to :3 irl is the day the whole world bends to my will
soooo tempted to learn woodworking, learn barrel making, modify that skill and make a butter churn, learn to churn butter, and finally- make butter. i should practice my metalwork too for the barrel probably
here's one i found a while back while sharing a box of these with my friend, brought me great joy
did you know they started printing contrasting words on either side of sweettarts? like bold and calm, local and global, head and heart? i did not, so you can imagine how startled i was to look down while eating my discount candy and see this:

the lord sayeth "halt thy child don't give in to sin!"
i need the ability to pat people on head through computer screen
may i put forth the blue-black grassquit? they are finches and i think they fit his whole celestial aesthetic thing. also they look just black in certain light and most black birds are associated with bad luck
it would be an easy pull to say that if eugene were a bird he’d be a crow or raven (or some variety of finch) BUT i think he’s a common loon due to his mysterious and enigmatic nature and the fact that if any bird could talk to ghosts it would be a common loon (their calls are used in horror movies all the time bc of how creepy they are) and also it kind of suits his general color scheme, plus they have a very “spooky and elegant and beautiful but also dumb as rocks” vibe.
if you were dead set on keeping it in family corvidae (and who could blame you!) i’d say a eurasian magpie due to both the aforementioned color scheme consideration and the fact that magpies seem to display above average levels of both intelligence and empathy and are seen as good or bad luck by various cultures (which i think suits eugene yknow he’s complicated!) and often associated with witchcraft.
if you REALLY want it to be a crow (respectable this isn’t a crow hate page EVER do NOT take that away from this post) i’d go with a hooded crow bc he wears a cloak. thank you all for your time pictures of birds below the cut
