I'm getting really tired of seeing posts of people saying "omg look at this cute baby owl 🥰" and then the picture is something like this-
This is not a baby owl.
This is a full grown flammulated owl, one of the smallest species of owl. There's other small species similar to it but my point stands.
THIS is a baby owl- an owlet
This is also a flammulated owl, but much younger and even this picture is not of a fresh hatchling. They are also sometimes referred to as nestlings or fledglings depending on their age. Owls, like most birds, are born naked and ugly. Or cute even, depending on your perspective. Most of the time, they look like fuzzy Muppets that went through a bad trip in the washing machine.
I know it's mostly harmless to look at a tiny owl and think it's a cute baby, but please acknowledge the difference.
I am so exhausted by the misinformation.

more ultraowl au thoughts
blue brigade could be the angels perhaps? i need to do more pondering about this but perhaps heaven is the place all the blue owls are from
the blue feathers represent the angels' pronoun pins.
the great tree is hell, minos and sisyphus are king
minos may perhaps be a leucistic spotted eagle-owl because the horns are reminiscent of his crown, then after he dies he comes back as one of the ghost owls
he also might not be leucistic though? i am not quite sure
i'm not sure if v1 should be a horned owl (likely great horned) or a small owl like the flammulated owl
leaning towards the flammulated owl tbh
as for gabriel i see him as a snowy owl or perhaps a barn owl? plot-wise barn owl fits better but he can't be part of the pure ones
because pure ones are machines
i also have to throw out the parts where the pure ones and blue brigade hold hands and skip around
sisyphus is in the colliering chaw or perhaps the search-and-rescue chaw
i don't remember if the blue brigade has armor or battle claws but im giving them it because gabriel needs to have armor
also i coulddddd just make v1 a robot owl. but. i dont know if it fits in the world
i feel like maybe they've just got a lot of armor like gabriel does
the father's light doesn't exist in gahoole canon so unfortunately this is going to be a 'gabriel lives' au
minos and sissypus are still dead though. dead asf
no clue what owl sisyphus would be. someone should perhaps send me an idea or two ....
#ultrakill#gahoole#ultraowl au#someone with more gahoole knowledge please weigh in#haven't read the books in like 5-6 years and the wiki lacks info#perhaps i need to do a reread.

you found a little flammulowl, what will you do with it? (remember to read twice because the names are very similar)
flammulowl
flammulated owls are a small group of owls with red orangish markings all over the body, they are known to live at the top of pinetrees looking for food
[source]
tecolostorm
based on Chalchiuhtecolotl, an owl made of blue fire and shining blue feathers, its one of the servants/manifestations of tezcatlipoca
[source]
tecolothorn
based on elf owls, one of the smallest owl species and very similar to flammulated owls, main thing i wanted to represent is the habit of living inside of cactus that some of them are knwon for. its not endangered but it has been losing territory

Elf Owl
Micrathene whitneyi
One of the smallest owls in the world, about the size of a sparrow. Patterned with rufous, gray, and white. Most similar in plumage to Flammulated Owl, but note the Elf Owl's white eyebrows, yellow eyes, tiny size, and habitat. Found in brushy woodlands and surrounding desert, where they nest in natural cavities or abandoned woodpecker holes in trees and cacti. Nocturnal; most easily found by listening for call around dusk: a descending whiny chuckle or single mewing note. Migrates south to Mexico for the winter.

BACKGROUND.
quick facts :
can perform nonverbal magic, and is working towards learning wandless magic as well
has perfected her felix felicis potion
orphan
early history :
the only child born to isla and malcolm bones, susan was named for her aunt amelia's middle name. a rather powerful and respected family in the wizarding community, it's no shock that they were sought after by death eaters during the first wizarding world war. most of the family wouldn't survive.
first year :
susan bones started her education at hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry the same year as the famous harry potter. she shared a boat with seamus finnigan and hermione granger, and was the third student to be called upon by minerva mcgonagall for the sorting ceremony. there was an indescribable joy at being sorted into hufflepuff, the very house that her parents had shared before falling in love. the house that most of her family had called home while at hogwarts. during her first year, susan would learn all about the basics of magic and spell performance, like her other classmates. she was also present at the end-of-term feast during which gryffindor won the house cup breaking slytherin's seven year winning streak.
second year :
during her second year, susan seemed to develop a crush on the then defence against the dark arts professor, gilderoy lockhart, which caused her to be off-task daydreaming during his lessons. she participated in the duelling club, as a precaution due to the attacks that occurred after the chamber of secrets had been opened. the fact that lockhart oversaw this club was merely an added benefit, as was the discovery of a talent for duelling magic. if only she’d known how much that skill would come in handy in later years.
year two wasn’t all clubs and cute professors. when her friends were all petrified by the unknown creature (now known to be a basilisk) roaming the school, fear seemed hard to shake. for someone who had already faced so much loss, the thought that her friends’ lives were in peril was a hard one to shake. to say that she was filled with a sense of relief when professor sprout and madam pomfrey were able to cure the petrified students would be an understatement.
third year :
idk she was scared of sirius black like everyone else that year. i'll flesh this year out later maybe. maybe not. we'll see.
fourth year :
during susan's fourth year hogwarts held the triwizard tournament and hufflepuff's cedric diggory was one of the triwizard champions. she supported cedric in favor of harry, as he was in her house and her best friends were also strong supporters of him.
harry's death at the end of the triwizard tournament left susan with a lot of questions, though of one thing she was certain. barty crouch jr didn't kill her classmate. no, voldemort was back, and it was only a matter of time before the rest of the wizarding world began to suspect the same.
summer before fifth year :
it was in late june that the death eaters who murdered susan’s uncle edgar and his family escaped from azkaban. news that immediately set the bones family on high alert, and for good reason. mid july saw an attack on the bones household, with susan left the only survivor. she’d credit it to pure luck and her mother’s forethought, if you could even get her to speak on the incident.
her father’s shout from the kitchen had given enough warning for susan to barricade herself into her bedroom. unfortunately there was already a death eater waiting for the girl. fortunately he hadn’t been expecting her to throw a punch instead of a hex. it was only that split second of shock that allowed her to grab for the portkey her mother had placed on her nightstand only a few weeks earlier. an emergency escape hatch of sorts. and it worked. susan successfully escaped to an alley behind the leaky cauldron. she entered and gave a fake name to tom, the pub’s owner, and asked him to send for amelia bones. it was only when her aunt arrived, having recognized the fake name as a previously agreed upon safety code for her niece, that susan learned that neither of her parents had been so lucky as she’d been.
the following days saw her settling into a spare bedroom at her aunt’s home, her new home, and struggling to accept her new reality. still weeks later, the grief at her parents’ death feels as fresh as it was standing in the leaky cauldron. she only hopes this school year proves to be the distraction she so desperately craves.
