I’ve Been Thinking About What Flight Must Feel Like

I’ve been thinking about what flight must feel like

Do you think captive hatched birds fear the open sky?

Do they have a concept of being lost, of straying too far from home and not knowing how to get back?

The inside of a house to them is like a home city to us, compared to the vastness of the entire planet.

To fly must also be to fear. Fear of falling, of bad weather, of collisions, of becoming lost.

Moving so quickly, so high in the air, held aloft by only your wings. Knowing hundreds of meters of air stretch between yourself and the earth’s surface.

I recall one time I swam in a lake, keeping myself a few feet above the ground through buoyancy and the movement of my forelimbs, somewhat like flight. Tired, I reached down with my feet to touch the ground, stand up and rest. I found nothing but cold empty water below me. I had unknowingly swum out past the 5ft mark.

The water couldn’t have been more than 7ft deep but it felt like an ocean for that moment. Like an open sky. Like a bird so far out with nowhere to land.

If I could fly in my human body, I would keep to a few meters above the treetops and power lines to get to work, home or the woods. I wouldn’t stray far from civilization, always keeping roads in sight and a phone or gps on hand.

The world seems so large when you can move that high and fast.

I would still love to fly if I could. Soaring over grassy fields and waterlogged marshes, over sprawling cities with a destination in mind. Seeing the glory of the world from above.

a moodboard with 9 images.

image one (top left): a shot of two coal black taloned arms reaching towards the sky. it’s a black so dark it’s difficult to make out the exact definition. at around midway along the forearm, the blackness is broken up into veins, and pale skin continues along the arm.

image two(middle left): a hallway that's so pure black, that you cant actually see almost any of it. a single, bright while light far down the hallway starkly illuminates a small portion of it, showing a tiled ceiling and shiny tiled floor, with stark white walls, before the hallways is once again plunged into absolute darkness, no end in sight

image three (bottom left): a pale hand that almost looks a bit like its being overtaken by the venom symbiont from spider-man. it becomes a shiny, twisted, coal black almost slimy or leathery looking taloned hand with incredibly long fingers and piercing looking black claws.

image four (top middle): a viewpoint from the ground looking directly up. the sky is pure black and spindly branches of trees in pure white reach up to the sky

image five (middle middle): several scribbly, messy inky black figures with shining white eyes on a pure white, detail less background

image six (bottom middle): a swirling vortex that gets darker the farther it goes, with the closest area to the viewer being a midtone grey, that eventually fades into pure black.

image seven (top right): a mostly white image with "tears" in it like paper, revealing an inky darkness with many white eyes peaking out.

image eight (middle right): a hand with a tattoo on it of swirly, messy, sort of sketchy or inky black lines, with many many eyes peaking out of the darkness.

image nine (bottom right): a pure black, with slightly lighter staticky grey background. there is nothing else.

Can we take a moment to appreciate autumnJ?

she the Frist music artist to stand up for alterhumans/nonhumans and I respect that, sure she might have made only 8 therian songs, but it's still amazing to know that someone out there that has the power to make anything and decides to make music about a small community:3
