A hungry silverhaired flapflap is fed by a very bad volunteer who didn’t wear a glove like she is supposed to. Don’t tell her boss.
GUYS! I have learned crucial information about bats I think everyone should know. Especially pertaining to Underland fliers.
Bats can purr!
They vibrate and they sound like engines, it's adorable. There is a great video of one on the Maid of Bats Instagram page. And I am also immediately adding it to my headcanon that fliers purr unconsciously under certain circumstances of happiness, and that they can do it at will. Just a deep rumble while they vibrate. Just-
Gregor: *does something*
Ares: *finds it endearing and starts purring unconsciously*
Everyone else: 0_0 WTF, I didn't think Ares could do that anymore.
Or also,
Luxa: *extremely stressed out about something that happened or about being queen and goes to Aurora*
Aurora: *wordlessly wraps her wings around Luxa and starts purring to help Luxa relax*
UPDATE: they made some changes to their setup
this is so fucking funny
To be denied by the cat distribution system is a terrible thing.
I’ve never heard a cat scream like that😭
What do you mean you didn’t order more bats?
(This is the last of it, I promise)
