Pilot episode

  "It is not who is right, but what is right, that is of importance." 

-Thomas Henry Huxley 


Hello! So I now have a blog. This post, made on the thirtieth of August in 12022 of the Holocene calendar, exists for the following purposes: 

-Because yes (for fun) 

-Because I want to write about different ecosystems in different time periods 

-Because biodiversity is worth learning about 

-Because even though I'm an artist, animator, and voice actor, writing's the thing I'm best at doing quickly, and I might make this into a podcast if I find a club of people (but it'll just be in writing for now) 

-Because I wanted to open a blog 


So that summarises my purpose. 


Also, a bit about me: 

I have an urvogel as an OC. Being my canonical animal form, they use the same pronouns I do, she/they, and are the narrator/host of this blog podcast. The title is almost self-explanatory; in each episode/post, she asks one animal from the ecosystem about what life is like there. For this trailer, I will be talking to a purple sunbird. 

Hello! Yes, that is correct. I am Mr Bloomsip. Now, what can I say about where I live? Yes. Flowers. Pinks and reds are my favourite types, like the hibiscus you gave me. 

Well, Mr Bloomsip, tell the audience why you're not really purple. 

What? Not really purple? Look at my wings! They are literally edged in iridescent purple! 

...Sir, this is a podcast. 

This is my eclipse plumage! It's not the breeding season, so a female-like plumage ECLIPSES my "purple" plumage! My tail's iridescent purple as well! "Not really purple"? Wrong. 

Calm down. And you like hiding near the canopies of trees, right? 

Yes. 

Well, this sums up our blog trailer/pilot episode, so bye for now!

Hello again! Here are two new pages of my webcomic, ready to read! Mr Bloomsip (preview alert) may or may not feature in this comic in future pages, so stay tuned!  For more frequent updates, here's the Scratch link:  https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/881818483/   This chapter is set in the Los Alamos laboratory in an unspecified year, featuring Richard Feynman and Enrico Fermi. They're poring over a paper by Albert Einstein, and no dinosaurs feature here (yet).  The main arc should be coming soon!  -Pied Survogel  P.S. A regular blog article and a once-a-month posting schedule should happen soon.

But I didn't miss your secret co-host.  HIBISCUS: We don't talk about him that way!  B: He nearly ate you!  H: Fair, but still.  P: So, shall we start? I'll sh...

Happy World Wildlife Day!

Hello, fellow eukaryotes! It's March 3, which means it's World Wildlife Day! It happens on the same date every year. I decided that I'd give you a little behind-the-scenes update and share a few facts about wildlife.  ⬆️The avian co-hosts and I had a chat today. Here's a picture of it.  So, the next episode is going to be biome-focused. Unfortunately, I deleted the draft for it, accidentally and irreversibly. Thankfully, the guest stars and I are willing to re-record/rewrite it. It's going to be more scientific than previous episodes.  Now, here are the facts.  "Wildlife" doesn't just mean "animals". Bacteria, archaea, fungi, plants, and other eukaryotes also count.  Most animals are arthropods! This is because insects are successful. And beetles alone comprise 40% of insects.  Speaking of insects, flycatchers aren't named that because they catch flies. It's because they fly to catch prey (flycatching).  And that's all...
