I’ve mentioned Jack Torrance’s found footage set on my blog in the creepy youtube channel post. I went through more of his videos and jesus. These gifs do not do justice to the amount of horror in there. The music & suspense all adds up.
For those of you who do not know Jack found bought a set of old cassetes on a garage sale for $5. The footage contains some intense material. He gets so freaked with what he sees that he decides to digitalize and post what he found. Watch all of it. I dare you.
It’s actually impossible to measure how many fucks a corvid give because there is no device sensitive enough to register such a tiny amount.
science/animal side of tumblr… explain to me the birb thing
Tail Pulling is a behavior noted in many corvids. The practical application is to create a distraction that will allow the birb to make off with the target’s food. Imagine being in the lunch room and a large fellow has a Twinkie you covet. You can’t just take it from him because he’ll defend his Twinkie. But if you thwap him on the back of his neck and then dash around to snag the Twinkie while he investigates, you stand a decent chance of enjoying spongey goodness. This is basically that in birb form.
Except corvids don’t only do this as a distraction. Sometimes they seem to just being doing it to mess with other animals/birbs. But to use my lunch room analogy, there are times you might thwap someone sneakily on the back of the neck just for amusement. Primates exhibit behavior that appears to be just be annoying other animals for amusement. Given how intelligent crows are, its not unlikely that this is a manifestation of an innate desire to just fuck with someone else for the fun of it. Such as this from the link above:
THANK YOU FOR THE BIRB KNOWLEDGE
BECAUSE IT IS FUN
This speaks to me on a molecular level.
birbs just wanna have fun
Sorry to hijack a little, but to put it bluntly, corvids are also pretty BALSY. They are more than prepared to harass other huge birds of prey which could deal them a lot of damage. There’s plenty of cases of corvids ‘riding’ other birds as well. It’s often to harass the larger bird out of the area, but as @red3blog said, they quite often (in layman’s terms) enjoy fucking shit up for fun.
‘Where the hell is the seatbelt on this thing?’
I mean they deserve a medal for having such huge bird balls imo
1) The goddesses are the ones who do most of the cursing. No seriously, check. Goddesses are kinda petty
2) Hades names his dog a fancy word for Spot
3) Persephone once crushed a woman into a plant for saying that Hades loved her more. Thats why we have mint.
4) Hades is mythologically the most faithful one. He almost cheated a couple of times, but felt really bad and couldn’t do it
5) Aphrodite once flayed a woman alive because people thought she was prettier.
6) Hades kidnapped Persephone because Zues told him to. He literally has zero social or romantic skills, and fingers that big brother Zues, who’s courted hundreds of women would know a thing or two about wooing. Zues told Hades to kidnap Persephone.

15 ) Artemis turned a peeping-tom into deer and lets him get eaten by his own dogs
16 ) Hades is the king of the underworld because he got the short straw.
17) Amphotrite is sometimes described as the sea herself. She’s drowed countless people.
18) Persephone is a proud queen of hell who has no problem with her job
