Wow! Not your average banner! Love that Spike is a cobra.

Ha, yes. I hope that it's not going to disappoint too many people! I had been in doubt whether I should post it here at all, but because it's for a story that's on Seasonal Spuffy, I thought it should be OK. Apologies if I'm stretching the boundaries a bit. Credit for Spike being a cobra goes 100% to thenewbuzwuzz!

Great banner, but can't help feeling a bit nervous for Buffy the meerkat

double_dutchess May 25 2021, 09:17:23 UTC

Thanks! And no worries about Buffy. Besides being a meerkat, she's also a Slayer (kind of).

OMG!! :))) You did the thing!!!! It's so white and classy! The fonts look so good! :D And I can SEE Buffy having thinky thoughts! How perfect that the snake naturally had such beautiful blue eyes!!

P.S. I think I found the photographer (Kai Rösler), and it seemed like I could at least rate the image without making an account in this charming German-language nature photography forum. I'm pretty tempted to go ahead and join the forum. :D

Yes! Glad you like it. Clearly, no other snake could have been Spike. Such a pretty, pretty blue-eyed snake.

Thanks for doing a better search than I did and finding the original photo! I will update the credits.

Oops. It also turns out it's actually rattlesnake and not a cobra (as which it was advertised in other places)... Oh well!

thenewbuzwuzz May 25 2021, 10:09:42 UTC

It clearly is Spike, and that's what counts. :))

Hahaha! That’s awesome. And snakes creep me out normally!

You're using my all-penguin AU icon! That makes me so very happy.

double_dutchess May 25 2021, 18:32:11 UTC

Thank you! And well, it's Spike. Who could resist him, even as a snake? Even meerkat!Buffy can't.

gillo May 25 2021, 17:09:09 UTC

That is beautiful. Superb handling of the images and the colouring.

double_dutchess May 25 2021, 18:34:22 UTC

Thank you! To be fair, that gorgeous snake photo does a lot of the work.
