Listen, to everyone else, I'm real sorry about using this thing into a bit of a a personal megaphone, but--

I hear the word on the street is that there are a whole buncha Spider-People swingin' around now and causing alls sorts of webby problems, so maybe we need a show of hands and a system. Perhaps a group chat? Do we have a group chat? We should have a Spider-Group Chat.

You know, for tactical... Spider... things. Like organising pizza night. The important stuff!

One time as was watching this wild eagle pair raising chicks in a preserved part of an urban area, and you should have seen the comments go wild because the dad brought home a subway bag one day for the chicks.

Let's just say I enjoyed watching him dissect that meal into pieces much better than the times it was identifiably furry or scaley.

oh my gosh, I *know*, I keep trying to mediate the turf wars between the birds and the squirrels back home, but it, uh

has not been going as well as I'd like

the subway sandwich is great though! that would last them for like a WEEK

I'm not sure you're really going to make someone sit down peacefully with what they normally think of as dinner. Unless you mean like scrub jays and the like that also cache nuts.
eatsnutsandkicksbutts: (it's tippy!)

get ready for SQUIRREL FACTS

oh yeah, I'm from New York, so we mostly get eastern gray squirrels grabbing stuff from bird feeders and fighting over tree space and hoarding spots. Red squirrels are omnivorous, so they'll actually eat eggs if they can - they live upstate, but the birds don't care, ANY squirrel is probably just an egg-eating jerk to them

if I knew someone called Bird Nerd, we could sit down with both parties and talk everything out, but sadly that is not the case, so the conversation has been pretty one-sided!

I admit I haven't read all that much about squirrels. And as for talking to birds, I don't know of anyone here with that skill. But I can imagine it's not fun when the nice hollow tree you've been living in for a while suddenly has a nest nearby of folks who want to peck you out of there and steal your fur.

Beast Boy tended to go for predators over prey to avoid those kinds of issues. Better to be the thing that causes animals to run than the one doing the running. I don't think he could really hold anything detailed in the way of conversations with real animals, though.

your dude must be a shapeshifter, yeah? first of all, MAD jealous, and second, if he turns up here, I'd be happy to teach him squirrelese! It's way easier to learn the language if your incisors and jaw are the right shape.

oh, I'm Squirrel Girl btw! probably should've lead with that for context. Nice to meet you, sort of!

I could ask so many questions about that. You know, like do tree squirrels and ground squirrels speak different dialects, and can you understand other rodents or just the true squirrels and so on. But this is a thread about Spider-Man, so it seems a little off-topic.

I'm Kid Flash. Fastest Teen Alive and all that jazz. Not the most versatile power, but I can be where I need to be in a flash.
eatsnutsandkicksbutts: (SG - hecka swole!)

[personal profile] eatsnutsandkicksbutts 2022-05-17 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
1) yes, they do, I mostly speak eastern grey squirrel dialect with a side of ontario black squirrel, 2) just squirrels, I've tried learning chipmunk but it's really tricky!

oh dude, super speed is amazing, don't knock yourself! :O easily one of the top five coolest superpowers! Do you run around replacing people's guns with bananas and stuff? that's what I'd do if I had superspeed

I wonder if I could learn. Most of the languages I know are at least tailored to humanoids if they aren't Earth-human languages.

And yeah, I've done that. Or baked goods. It's really fun to watch a guy who was holding a missile launcher or rifle deal with the sudden submarine sandwich substitution. One time my cousin and I even dismantled a getaway car out from under the Rogues. You have to be really careful synchronizing the tire removal so they don't go into an uncontrolled skid.
eatsnutsandkicksbutts: (SG - things are looking up!)

Sure, I could teach you! I taught some of my friends back home - the human ones, I mean. It'll be harder without the incisors, but it's doable! The squirrels I hang with tend to have an easier time understanding human accents.

also, omg, if you do the car thing again, pls let me watch

It'd be nice to at least be able to explain when I take my cat to the park that we're just visiting. Kat-El doesn't even chase squirrels, not that I really expect them to believe that.
