🐑 - Talking to an animal.
I am desperate to see how that plays out :3c
She stood at the door, trying to take deep breaths as she spun the apple around in her palms.
It's just a bloody bird, Kitali, she thought to herself. It's not as though he gave you a pet aevis.
Pushing the heavy wood aside, she slipped into the stables before closing it quietly behind her. The building seemed empty aside from the quiet rustlings of the birds with no one in sight. Just as well, considering the hour.
Kitali crossed to the far corner where Haurchefant told her her gift was being kept in, looking for any movement in the low lantern light. No feathered head was visible above the gate, and so she called out softly.
"Belle?"
Suddenly a large yellow beak was ilms from the tips of her horns, nearly startling her into dropping the apple still in a hand. The chocobo trilled softly, tilting her head to one side.
"H-hi Belle," Kitali said as she stretched out the empty hand to pet her beak softly. "I brought you a treat."
At the magic t-word the beak was pushed eagerly into her hand, nibbling searchingly.
"It's in this one, be patient," Kitali gently scolded. "Here."
At the first crunch of the fruit's flesh, a half dozen or so other 'kweh's and 'breeeek's filled the stable, and Kitali winced at the sound. She had hoped to avoid the attention of the rest of the birds tonight.
"Hope you brought enough to share," called a strange voice from seemingly nowhere.
Kitali flinched and turned quickly, still holding her hand out with the half eaten apple up to Belle. The room looked empty to her still, but the voice sounded near.
"You'll be bothered til they get something from you, these birds will. Spoiled rotten," the voice continued as it trailed off into a chuckle.
The speaker was still unseen, but at least not hostile.
"D'you think they'll take a rain check?" Kitali called into the open room.
A laugh was all that responded.
The apple now eaten, core and all, Belle was nuzzling at her hand looking for more.
"Sorry,k that was all I had," Kitali said with an apologetic pat. "I'll bring more later."
And with that, she slipped out the way she came.
Thank you @fantasmagoriam for the ask! Kitali's animal handling is not.......bad. For a ranger.

i'm undercutting this by a bit because the largest known production tires i can find aren't even this big but if we go by the firestone 707057SRG heavy loader tire as a base, they are 8 tons each and kita is carrying two of them here, so she is DRAGGING 16 tons of material. generally towing requirements dictate one horsepower for every 25 pounds towed so that means this little horsegirl has at least 1,280 horsepower

More, feed me more pwease?
*making grabby hands*
Pwetty pwease, big sibling, fweed this poow little child some more horsegirl Shen yuan and stallion bingge?
Shen yuan wearing leather like those western cowboy movies? With the- with the whip?
The whistle call for horses?
Like, imagine Shen yuan whistling as if bingge was his prized stallion?
Bingge cleaning that horse riding crops and whips very dedicatedly. And then he presents it to Shen Yuan with a smile but wilts in disappointment when all his little shizun does is say thank you and goes back to reading about horse feed supply shortage.
But also it’s a good thing that Shen Yuan didn’t even realize why the crops and whips needed such thorough cleaning in the first place. Stop thinking such dirty things Bingge!
Bingge enjoys helping Shen Yuan dress in that horse riding attire. The riding gear really helps highlight that lithe frame and perky butt. Also yum. Those boots. He would love to be stepped on with those leather soles. And then he finds the chaps - the assless pants - and things just go downhill (as in all the blood goes down south) from there.
Not that he didn’t already have enough material to work with already.
[More in the #horsegirl Shen Yuan meets dimension traveler luo bingge au]

An Intrigued Review of Jannah's Costumes in TROS
The Rise of Skywalker introduced the intriguing character of Jannah, a former stormtrooper, so let's talk about what her costume informs us about her.
Jannah and her company of stormtroopers defected to Kif Bir, a moon in the Endor system. They domesticated Orbak (like horses) and her outfit tells us all about that process. Her trousers may be part of her stormtrooper uniform while the rest of her clothes look to be made out of leather (including her shoes!). The cape and other accessories are clearly salvaged from the shuttle they crashed on the moon, using parachute material and other odds and ends. The weapon on her belt is an Orbak tusk; the belt itself she may have already had, while the sash across her chest is clearly snakeskin. All this tells us how she has survived on the (uninhabited?) moon and made a living there after breaking free. Her clothes fit the aesthetic of the sequel trilogy well, similar in practicality to Rey's costume but clearly a different concept. Both are inspired by the lives of the characters, and that's a really great way to design a costume.
Female representation: 10/10 Fantastic as usual in this trilogy. She is obviously a beautiful woman wearing tight-fitting clothing but it's form-fitting in a practical way, not an objectifying way. It makes sense for her to be wearing this in her environment and the other stormtroopers (regardless of gender) are dressed similarly. It's not an excuse to put her in like, a leather bikini or something, as other media about a stranded woman might.
Practicality: 10/10 Honestly, one reason I really enjoy Star Wars is because of the very practical costumes (especially in the original and sequel trilogies). Her outfit is perfect for the life she leads and also works well for horse-back riding (other than the cape, which this horsegirl does not recommend for riding as it will spook the horse).
If you enjoyed this, check out my Star Wars for the Girlies Series (New Jannah video out now!)

And since we're talking about anime, here's what I'm watching right now:
Demon Slayer season 4: Since this is the last good arc of the manga before everything goes to shit, I'm keeping up with it for the last time, plus Genya, the best Demon Slayer character don't @ me, finally makes his debut, while Zenitsu, the objectively worst character, is completely absent.
Uma Musume: Pretty Derby - Road to the Top: I'm a shameless fan of the horsegirls series, so of course I'm watching this one, the first episode dropped today, and it's looking promising! Also I really like how it's slowly turning into an anthology series, where each season is devoted to new characters.
My Clueless First Friend: The obligatory cute anime I watch to pass the time, and it is indeed cute, if a bit formulaic, but I really like both main characters so I'm watching it until the end.
Heavenly Delusion: I knew nothing about it before getting in, and man it's been a fantastic ride so far, plus it has one of the best animations of this season, not to mention the constant twists and turns. It's a bit horny, but so far it feels natural, at least for japanese standards, plus there's this weird twist many in Tumblr might or might not enjoy.
Gundam Wing: The Witch from Mercury (part 2): Since Wing I hadn't watched a Gundam series, and so far it's been a fantastic ride, Suletta is as awkward and naïve as she is ruthlessly adorable, the animation is fantastic, the best of the season (Demon Slayer's is too bombastic imo), and the overarching plot just gets darker and darker, I love it!
Rokudou no Onna-tachi: I followed the manga for years until its conclusion, it's a solid story overall although it suffers from the usual issue of shonen stories of not knowing when to stop scaling up fights. The anime itself has been a mediocre ride in terms of the animation, but I still love the story so I'm sticking around until the end.
Mashle: Magic and Muscles: More or less the same with Rokudou, good source material but with a mediocre adaptation, and the manga, although not finished, its about to (and poorly too, unlike Rokudou), this one I may end up dropping if the animation continues to be underwhelming.
Konosuba Megumin prequel: I'm a big Konosuba fan so I was really looking forward to this one, but... It just doesn't have the same energy as the OG series, I haven't even watched this week's episode. I may give it another chance, but if I still feel the same, I'll drop it.
KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World: There were so many fucking isekai shows this season, I decided to at least give this one a chance and... Eh, it's alright, may or may not keep up with it.
Overall it's a much more interesting season that the last one, but mostly because I'm very familiar with most of the stuff covered.

okay, so as far as i can piece together, i had three (?) dreams last night.
the first centered around visiting my family, who had brought a young guy into their home who was cis but trans . ? (had gotten top surgery, phallo, hormones, etc ? but had always been a guy <- complicated but made sense in the dream) but he was also sort of a werewolf (had been a canine and then human?) and everyone was like. dehumanizing him and treating him like he couldn't understand us but like i knew he could? so i hung out with him and tried not to put pressure on him while also acknowledging that him being quiet didn't mean he was stupid. ended up cuddling with him. at some point he got upset and overwhelmed with everyone and was trying to work through something and everyone kept bothering him so i was like let him go and have a break (<- horsegirl moment, i connected with him and Understood Him, i could fix him type thing but in a normal way) but my sibling (<- studying to be a psychologist) kept going after him and was like i'll get him to talk <3 and we got into a fight about it at which point i got sooooo distressed and like. sick? like physically sick. and other things happened in different orders but i don't remember and can't explain it all, but me and this guy were close now.
anyways then the dream shifted, i knew i was dreaming and then woke up (<- didn't actually wake up but thought i did) and was going to post about it on tumblr because woah transgenderism but got a snapchat from my friend and i checked it, and they said (<- in response to a previous snap i apparently sent them) woah how are you literally so masculine transgender or smth along those lines. and then i went back to sleep because i forgot to post about it (<- was literally still dreaming)
the next dream (sort of same dream) had me and my family going on even more of a trip and visiting different people and one of my teen cousins who was roman roy from that one tv show was a little douche so we started roughhousing and joshing around and i got him in a headlock and teased him and he and his friends were like bro we never did anything to you and i was like ? okay? but you were being a little bitch and now you'll think twice before doing that to someone else who might not stand up against it like i did. and then we laughed and kept going and my family got in a bunch of inner tubes and boats and like. four-wheelers and were all being pulled in one caravan up a deep stream by a tractor and i was teasing my little sister and tossed one of her flip flops but it didn't land on the paddle board behind us so i dove after it and got both of them 'cause the other one dropped too, and they were inflatable? same material as a pool float, they were actually really neat.
i think it was at this point that i actually woke up ? but it's unclear? and then went back to sleep
the next dream was a semi-continuation of that dream where we were traveling and for some reason i got separated from my family for a short bit, and ended up in an airport with charlie redwinesupernova. we were about to leave and explore when i started being like no, okay, something is really wrong because my upper lip is Actually Swelling (<- must have been irritated beforehand? it wasn't a surprise it was just worse than i had thought) and felt less like a normal impact bruise and more like a cyst or something. it got increasingly worse and i felt lightheaded and dizzy like i was going to pass out, but like, in a drugged and / or infected way, not in a normal calm way. so i was like shit this is actually bad, and january was like oh fuck. i'll ask around to find the nearest hospital. at this point i'm bleeding slightly and a nearby person sees how stressed out i am and gives me a handful of large bills and also their wallet? and i'm incredibly out of it so i take a few and hand them their wallet and say that i don't know how much the hospital bill will be, but i have some money and i'll repay them what i can afterwards, at which they wave me away and express their concern and it was actually really sweet. i'm crying in the dream from fear but also from how touched i was at that
so some stranger tells charlie there's a youth hospital at the mcdonalds, so we head there because even though i'm an adult we're pretty sure they'll take me since i'm still young (?) but the entrance is like. well, to get in it's sort of like those play place tubes but at first it's an incredibly long slide and there's various parts where it's clear i'm too old and i almost can't finish the slide / almost slip off (because it was like. miles above a city ??? and there weren't rails???? because it was made for kids. who wouldn't have that issue????) / almost get stuck after the slide when i'm in the plastic mesh tunnels and shit.
we finally reach the communal entrance where there's an assistant supposed to point kids to which entrance to go into by age+grade, and she is NOT helpful to us even though i should really be in the er at this point (<- bleeding a lot more from my mouth, still swollen and infected and at this point i've figured out that somehow my tooth got pushed into my jaw? head? something, and am actively getting sick frequently)
and somewhere along the line i started worrying because i left my id card in my siblings car on the trip, and without it i don't have insurance or identification.
it's somewhere around here that i assume i woke up and posted ??? about my dreams on tumblr. i think. it's unclear but makes sense considering i posted at 5 soemthing and had one more dream last night that i recently woke up from.
the final dream was about my friend being at a summer camp and me also being at a summer camp and visiting my old summer camps and somethiing something. whatever. doesn't matter because what really matters is that they had two lovely murals of me at the camp (<- in the way summer camps have photos of past campers and use them as advert for the next summer camp)
anyways. i can point out how every single one of those themes ties into a real world anxiety or situation i'm going through and it is both incredibly funny and just. weird. i haven't had dreams this vivid in ages. i feel like i went on a Trip. like. a mental psyche trip.

ok so im not sure if most of these really count as tropes bcs I see them very very rarely but I hold them very dear.
whenever writers add stuff from the tp manga, like twilight losing his arm. I don't see a lot of fics utilizing it and its kinda sad, along with the other manga and technically noncanon material . i think it could lead to a lot of fun. I've seen one fic really explore the twilight princess manga, and one or two taking directly from the four swords manga outside of the color's personalities.
wild and warriors being related in some way. I think its hilarious, the possibilities are endless. Wars being wild's former captain, wars being the 10k hero and wild being descended from him, there's even a fic series where he's wilds dad. its pure crack but its my crack and i love it. honestly wild being descended from anyone other than the time twilight lineage is great and i think it deserves to be explored a bit more.
legend and wild being gender buddies is great, ill always love it, but i love when other members of the chain get to explore their gender freely. like, i love leg and wild, but sometimes it feels like they're the only ones already 'feminine' enough to explore their gender (from what i've been able to find). give me time or twilight getting dressy they deserve it
As someone who has yet to read the manga (there is a lot of canon content for Zelda stuff you guys I'm trying my best), I think it's so cool when they're incorporated into the character's canons. There's a lot of content to pull from and even though not everything is completely canon, the fact that Hyrule Warriors simply exists means that the possibilities are endless and we can kinda do whatever is fun lol.
Ah yes, the HW games duo, I do love them. I think it's very fun to play with family bloodlines and that kind of thing. I am personally VERY interested in the hero of time bloodline going all the way down to Wild, there's just something about getting these people who have never really known (or have since forgotten) what having a close family is like and bringing them together (and then tearing them apart) But having Warriors be a part of that is also amazing. It's the horsegirl bloodline and Linkle is there too.
I too wish there was more gender stuff going on with the Links, I agree that Legend and Wild going through the gender rollercoaster is great and wonderful, and funnily enough, I think the next one who gets gender points is Time. It does feel like it's mostly Wild and Legend though, as if only male characters with typically feminine traits (long hair, dress/pink) can be queer in the gender. I do think that Twi and Time should get to wear Vai clothes and dresses more often. (I have personally only drawn Twi in a dress but when I get good at anatomy I'm gonna do more of that stuff) Also maybe Sky, I feel like he deserves it. (as well as Hyrule who deserves to wear his classic green eyeshadow more often)

helloooo salt :D
G, N, & O for fandom asks pls and thank you
G- do i remember the my first OTP?
I am chronic memory issues Mcgee, i cant even remember all the current OTPs. it might be Arwen and Aragorn because dirty sweaty horsegirl who doesn't think he's good enough ending up with a tall elven babe really appealed to me long before i figured out why.
N- three thing i wish I saw more of in current or any fandom?
oh. this is a shit stirring question isnt it? lets see. it would be nice if everyone could unclench a bit and let things be ambiguous. ships, interpretations, sexualities, backstories, lore, its all made up and it can all be flexible. i am so tired of seeing the one true head cannon and the inquisition leveled at any hint of dissent.
also while I'm at it, i want to see more widespread media literacy and maybe even a touch of critical thinking applied to fandom. depiction is not glorification and that's a great first baby step but can you tell when a work is glorifying something? can you tell if it's the source material being racist or the fans being racist? (if you're starwars you can do both in different directions) Are we suspending disbelief to tell a fun story about the divine right of kings and magic or are we making some pretty pointed statements about inherent superiority and who deserves rights?
O- Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of
you can put this on anything and anyone from Dungeon Meshi. chew up your love and swallow.

Dazy, Lifeguard, & Illusion Of Choice Live Show Review: 12/4, Cobra Lounge, Chicago
Dazy
BY JORDAN MAINZER
I'm not sure what Dazy does at a faster pace these days: tour or release tunes. Since we caught his Chicago debut of full-band arrangements in January, he's come to town twice more, including last night's stop at the Cobra Lounge. And mere months after releasing OUTOFBODY in 2022, in March, James Goodson shared songs recorded around the same time in the form of the cheekily titled OTHERBODY. The record continued the vibe of Dazy's debut LP, from the "Revolution" crunch of opener "I Know Nothing At All" to the sugary noise of "Every Little Thing". Just two months ago, Dazy shared the Ryan Hemsworth-assisted "Forced Perspective" (Lame-O), a collection of rounded country pop guitar riffs, a chirpy electric beat, and an uneasy, yet anthemic chorus.
Dazy's James Goodson
Always writing and always playing, it must be hard for Goodson to pick a setlist on a nightly basis. A year-plus removed from OUTOFBODY and over two years from MAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD: The First 24 Songs, Dazy's set at the Cobra Lounge felt like as close as you can get right now to "the hits," the crowd pumping fists, banging heads, and singing along to favorites "On My Way", "Split", "The Perfect Crime", "Pressure Cooker", and "Invisible Thing". I was just as happy, though, to see Goodson lean into the sweet, softer side of Dazy. "Forced Perspective", with its curly bass and guitar scrapes, was a highlight, as was "Every Little Thing", "could be a country hit" "Rollercoaster Ride", and set closer "Out of Body". "Is that my brain hanging by a thread?" Goodson sang on "Out of Body"; as much as he may have been disassociating at the time of writing the song, his everyday anxieties have certainly provided ample creative fodder for some of the best power pop of the past half-decade.
Lifeguard
Chicago's Lifeguard opened for Dazy, which was perhaps anybody's final chance to see the band in an opening slot at a venue as small as Cobra Lounge. The hyped three-piece, formed in 2019, signed to Matador Records earlier this year. Let's get it out of the way: Yes, drummer Isaac Lowenstein's sister Penelope is in labelmates Horsegirl, and bassist Asher Case's father is Brian Case of FACS (and formerly of Disappears, The Ponys, and 90 Day Men). Thankfully, Lifeguard is a beast of its own, combining chanted vocals with clanging, metallic guitars and dexterous, repetitively pummeling drums. Earlier this year, Matador re-released the band's 2022 EP Crowd Can Talk along with a collection of new material, Dressed in Trenches. Live, Lifeguard showed what they're truly about: off-kilter time signatures, uneven song sections, moments where you can't tell when they're warming up or about to switch gears. When they played "17-18 Lovesong", Case's rounded bass and monotone vocals wiggled around Kai Slater's stabbing guitars and falsetto off-beat harmonies, though the band never let you get too comfortably hypnotized in a groove. They finished with their newest song, the uncharacteristically poppy and straightforward (yet very welcome!) "In The City". You never know what's next with Lifeguard, and they're just getting started.
Illusion of Choice
Starting off the night was another local institution, four-piece shoegaze indie rock band Illusion of Choice. Most of their songs revolved around the atmospheres you'd expect with a genre descriptor like that: Alex Rackow's distorted guitars, Judith Pelkowski's heavy bass lines, Alex Boyajian's mammoth snares, and Tyler Tumminaro's sharp, nasal vocal delivery. Occasionally, they added elements of jangly surf, but for the most part, they chugged along deliberately, like on "Circling the Drain" and standout set closer "Bad Boy". Overall, Illusion of Choice offered an appropriate middle ground between Dazy's hooks and Lifeguard's deconstructed songs.

HOW ARE ALL YOUR THOUGHTS CORRECT??? number one mannequin understander frfr
i have So many thoughts about vampire and her deep-seated need for validation and attention. she drives me insane she is such a girl with disorders. i am constantly thinking about what video games she would play. in all honesty she would probably be a rhythm gamer and a dating sim enjoyer but but its funny to imagine her doing first person shooter games.
ANIMAL CINDERELLA VAMPIRE. THREE HORSEGIRLS OF THE APOCALYPSE. YOUNGEST OF THE GROUP AND NOT AFRAID TO SHOW IT. their dynamic makes me insane. animal and vampire are Honestly so weird about each other. i love it.
cinderella is soo silly to me. girl who wears glasses for the Vibes. she probably has a bunch of pinterest boards of aesthetic shit also i feel like shes rather proficient with a sewing machine. IS SO COMPHET HONESTLY. girl who develops a "crush" on a guy shes talked to exactly zero times. shes so sillyyy I THINK ITS SO FUNNY WHEN GIRLFRIEND KABEDONS ANIMAL AND CINDERLLA IS LIKE "AH YES THIS WILL CERTAINLY GET HER FLUSTERED". also how she uses the entire scenario of animal’s chapter as material like this girl is a himejoshi who thinks she’s straight.
u originally reminded me of shizuku from prsk which has carried over in the hc that i think u is horrrrible with technology. cant work it for shit. she has to get girlfriend to help her with smth as simple as entering an iphone passcode. animal probably calls her a boomer for it idk
KESA IS HONESTLY JUST. SO. she has such bad self esteem issues and thinks shes a bad person over the stupidest things (shakes her chapter like a dog with a toy). i honestly need her to find love and belonging w the other mannequin girls or else i will Die. forever! she’s such a girl who is constantly torn between being a scene kid and being a sweet lolita girl. I WANT TO SHAKE HER i want her to be loved
dilemma is honestly just !!! so !!! her song has always made me insane, and her chapter in mannequin made me even more insane, AND WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MANNEQUIN MV MADE ME EVEN EVEN MORE INSANE. do you ever think about her looking at the pictures of the other mannequin girls. when do you think they started mattering to her more than that guy she liked.. when do you think she realized how much they mattered to her..
the absolute found familification of dilemma's relationship. you are a mother of 8. i do not make the rules. also dilemma is also a gamer?? she supposedly got a world record for a shooter game. ALSO!! parasite. man. i want her to get therapy so bad, but sometimes therapy can be a girl with LOOPS for hair

“After a pause, he said: I mean, i had kind of done a huge crime. I’d turned several hundred animals inside out and made them into a big art installation and I hadn’t complied with the cops, BUT extenuating circumstances, okay? There were extenuating circumstances. It wasn’t my fault that turning several hundred animals inside out makes you look like a bad guy. They were beef cattle and mutton; my way was a hell of a lot quicker than the abattoir. But it’s hard to be all
Let’s listen to the magical inside-out animal-shield man. He obviously has some good ideas.”

My #1 post of 2022
I just keep thinking about how Gideon pulled the ultimate orphan swerve- “My real parents will come for me someday, and then you’ll all be sorry!” And her real dad is God and he made her a prince and gave her any material desire and she came back to show them all, but in her heart of hearts, she knows it’s just as hollow as the satisfaction that didn’t come from killing Crux.
