May I ask for images of your precious birdies?

Here are my boys, Napoleon on the left and Illya on the right–

There’s more in this tag: http://rose-of-pollux.tumblr.com/tagged/with-the-finches-from-UNCLE

The PBA results are in! Congratulations, I was rooting for your stories :o)

Eeee, thanks so much! Three bronze (best snapshot, best crossover, and best teaser) a silver (best challenge), and a gold (best crossover guest star–in this case, Napoleon!) across three fics? Never saw that coming!

Thanks!

Do you have any sideblogs ? Curious.

I do! I co-run @themanfromuncle, which is an appreciation blog for the show and Robert Vaughn & David McCallum.

I also used to co-run @simonoaklandtribute, which was a tribute blog to a character actor I admired and who was a major fave before Robert became the One Fave to Rule Them All. 😅 (Case in point, the last thing on that blog was a reblog of Simon with Robert in Bullitt….)

I also have/had RP blogs, a hiatus’d Napoleon Solo RP blog, and ~~two very old, functionally dead RP blogs for Jamie McCrimmon and the Skipper~~

Side note: if anyone wants to take either the Jamie or the Skipper blog off of my hands, let me know, because I don’t really see myself updating either of those on account of work and diverted interests.

Update: no one seemed to be interested in those dead RP blogs so they are gone.

Do you have an OTP? 😊

Yes, I do! My OTP is Napoleon/Illya from The Man from U.N.C.L.E.!

Their relationship is the best thing about the series–the idealist, outgoing American and the cynical, quiet Russian. By all
accounts, their utterly day-and-night personalities should never have
meshed, and yet, they did. It’s a relationship based on unconditional trust/love, banter, and mutual lifesaving.

They always have each other. 💜💙

Send this to the 8 nicest people who you know or seem to have a good heart. If you get five back then you must be pretty awesome! <3 (◍•ᴗ•◍)♡ ✧*。♥

Aww, thank you so much! 😀

Has anyone told you that you’re a great writer and they have so much fun reading your stuff? Because if not, then let me say you’re a great writer and i have so much fun reading your stuff.

Ahhh, thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoy my fics! 😀

I love your birds.

Thank you! 😀

Do you have pictures of the Finch Agents from U.N.C.L.E.?

Yup! I have pics and vids in this tag, though it’s kind of hard to get good pics of them because they rarely stay still, LOL.

My best pics of them are these ones from last year when they were still in the lab and not “mine” yet–

Illya is the lighter-colored one (he’s a blond!!), and Napoleon has the darker, standard coloration.

So, are honey buzzards immune to bee stings? What defense do they have?

Apparently, they are! According to the abstract of this paper, it is believed that not only do they have dense feathers for protection against stings, they also secrete chemicals that repel bees.

I happened to glance up at an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show on TV the other night and I recognized Robert Vaughn explicitly because of seeing him in your posts, and that really tickled me (in a good way)

Glad I could help! 😊.

Jim Darling lives up to his name, definitely!
