An update: the turkey seminar was very informative. Gobbler physiology is fascinating. Waddles and snoods are for thermoregulation and courtship display. No certainty on why they have beards, though, so it usually gets chalked up to sexual selection. 201 session is tonight! I'm hype.
My husband has taken up hunting recently, and it's weird to see things pop up on our family calendar like: "Turkey Seminar."

Short stroll to lean on gates and check in on the 000s of Stock Doves in local fields. Some pair bonds clearly still strong with bursts of (as BWP describes it) 'low-intensity courtship' on show.
Always a pleasure to stare at 'StoDos' this time of year.

Dance and music are something very special for her in bonding moments overall. In a dance partner she wants someone that can keep up with her. Not a partner that will lead her but one that will flow with her.
Includes both dancing on land or on air if her partner is able to. Think bird courtship

You know what show creeped me out as a kid in the 70's?
The Courtship of Eddie's Father ...
I mean, what the fuck was that about? I can't even bring myself to rewatch because, well, I don't know ... Because I only ever watched like 2-3 episodes. But like it traumatized me.

Trying to be less shy and this is a good uriesen question, so
Both of them, but in different ways.
Esen is a physical protector, bc he's a DPS and WoL. He's quicker to get physically confrontational on Urianger's behalf if necessary. He leans towards a chivalrous approach to courtship anyway. (-)

For thebirdroads for the @nagamas.bsky.social exchange! I couldn't resist taking the Sylvgrid prompt
🌺Ingrid wasn't sure how much longer she and Sylvain needed this fake courtship
🌺1.7k regency, fluff, romance
🌺Sylvain, on the hand, was prepared to take it to the next level

Exactly why I can't get on the 'wedding in go3' boat. They've yet to have a single minute that isn't under the scrutiny of heaven and hell. They deserve the full experience, the full courtship and everything that goes with it, free of that pressure. They've earned it.

I wrote this poem a couple years ago after reading a @nytimes.com article about courtship in wartime Ukraine. I never found a home for it, so I'll post it here.
