Horsey's dress

Horsey was in pretty good shape, except for her dress, which was her body, which wasn't as sturdy as her horse skin! Here are her diagnosis photos:

You can see where she had past surgery around her neck. Her family wanted her to get a spa (she was definitely losing some stuffing muscle tone in her legs and shoulders) and to have her dress redone.

She came to the hospital with a little unicorn buddy (Pom Pom) and a very decorated box. She also came with pre-selected fabric for her new dress.

Here she is in her bubble bath:

The plan was to recover the body of her dress, but replace the skirt, so I used a bit of the original skirt fabric, and a bit of the new fabric, to make the heart with a bit of her original stuffing:

And here she is feeling much better. These are chubbiness approval photos (hence the belly poke... there's also an open seam under her skirt):

And here she is all better waiting to fly home with PomPom:

Her young person's response "I love it!"

the circus is coming to town, and what a selection of curiosities it has... 🎪

As soon as I saw the posters @amielot drew for the circus in their Horse Girl AU, I knew I had to try my hand at coloring them in! This AU has stolen my entire heart— if you haven't looked through the AU comics yet, DO THAT RIGHT NOW!! THEY'RE EXCELLENT!!

This poster is my colors on @amielot 's drawing, using @aquabluejay 's summoning circle asset in the background :) Insp under the cut—

Colors and textures were greatly inspired by painted circus/carnival posters, especially this one:

#the sandman #morpheus #dream of the endless #horse girl au #dc #okay im going to tag this as— #rex draws #— but i cannot emphasize enough: I ONLY DID THE COLORS!!!! #THE DRAWING & DESIGN IS ALL AMIELOT!! OFC OFC #i started this in like. sept 😭 got too busy and only just cleaned it up. also started on an absolutely tiny tiny canvas #so even though the dpi is like. 350 or smth.. its a bit fuzzy oops. but it adds to the vibe!! yeah. #ANYWAY THIS IS SO FUN CHECK OUT THIS AU AND THE COMICS AND ALL THE FUNN DRAWINGS #ITS SO COOL AND WELL COMPOSED #ABSOLUTELY ICONIC NEVER DONE BEFORE STUNNING #centaur dream AU

It's nice to have salvaged "Mirrorsight" cover art. By which I mean I re-scanned it after giving the original a much needed facelift.

It's definitely one of my favorites from the series.

#illustration #crosshatching #graphite #horse #equine #cover art #fantasy art #pegasus #black and white #traditional art #this one made me so sad when I first found it again #i know that makes it not the original anymore but I would rather be happy with an updated piece #it's mild differences in cleaning up the hatching and adjusting tone/outline #it just makes for a better final product #“you can't make a living drawing horses” #“okay” #funny how things work out #anyway I should have prints available of all cover illustrations by the end of the month #so if that's your thing watch this space

what kind of favour do you require in exchange for an equineswap jiang yanli

I will fight god if that's what it takes.

No favour required! These guys were in the original doodle dump!

#mdzs #equineswap au #wei wuxian #jiang yanli #jiang cheng #There were a lot more horses that were supposed to go into that first equineswap post...but I got short on time to clean them up #All the siblings have winding cutie marks! Maybe its a yunmeng thing or maybe its just a representation of their bond #the little cutie mark stamp is cute but lets have some variation! lets play around with it! #that sais...the temptation to make JYL's mark soup was very strong. But too silly and too much of a disservice to her character. #Even though her main usage of powers in this au is probably just to make soup #They are a little horse posse...trotting around together was the real magic all along.... #Oh god if this follows canon wwx gives up his horn in illegal horn transplant surgery #do you think wen qing carves and dyes it so it looks similar to JC's original horn? She *has* to...right? #Anyways! Thank you beloved mutual Stackedbirds for giving me an excuse to post this! #PS: I would do anything u asked without incentive btw. Just putting that out there

hey if puppets bathed how would they do that. if with water they'd get waterlogged and wouldn't be able to move until they dried enough, i presume. plus that can cause Damage. what the fuck do they do to get the grime off

Thunder the horse

The best kind of Thunder is the kind you can hug, and that's what Thunder the horse is. :-)

His actual name is Black Thunder, but his person always called him Thunder for short. Thunder was only 18 years old when his person wrote for a consult, but in addition to being a major hug target, he was actually a world traveler who had gone all the way to Japan (which is pretty far for a 24" horse!).

Here are some of his diagnosis photos:

Thunder originally was a pillow for a sleeping bag, so he had some soft velcro patches on his belly. Those were fine His feet were originally velour, now worn smooth, and his bald spots were the result of his aiding his human with her anxiety in the past. So... he had some areas of concern. But he had been different colors for so long, his person didn't want transplants to all be exact matches. He wouldn't look like Thunder if he was too close to new! But he did need some stabilization.

We had an initial treatment plan of a spa and large bald spot treatment for Thunder, but as you can see... it was hard to see his hooves clearly in the photos, so we agreed to reevaluate them once he arrived.

When Thunder arrived at the hospital a bit later and it was quite clear his hooves were threadbare. So fully recovering them in new velour was added to his treatment plan.

As with any patient planning a spa, that was where his treatment began. Here he is in his bubble bath:

Once dry, he got restuffed and had a small heart with original stuffing. The heart was red and black, to honor his full name. :-)

Then it was time to choose furs... his person opted for a white for the transplants, since it was going in areas that were originally black. That way, it still matched his personality, but showed his past. We used black velour to redo his hooves. Here he is all better:

Thunder's person wrote:

I’m sure you hear this every time you send finished pictures, but I teared up when I saw him!! He looks absolutely marvelous, I don’t even have the words to say how much. I love his new hooves, and thank you for patching him up in white, it really means a lot to me...thank you again, a thousand times over. ^_^

So Thunder flew home to Florida, and his person wrote:

he looks even better in person! He hasn’t been this firm and well stuffed since I was a little girl, and his new hooves are just wonderful. I’m so glad to have my favorite snuggle pillow back. Thank you so much.

Next up... a Yes No Monkey.

“It all starts with the transition to clean energy, now approaching full speed with 87 countries drawing at least 5% of their electricity from wind and solar. The US hit 5% in 2011 and surged past 20% renewable electricity last year. If the country follows the trend set by others at the leading edge, wind and solar will account for half of US power-generating capacity just 10 years from now. That would be years—or even decades—earlier than major forecasts.

[...] Successful technologies follow an S-shaped adoption curve. Sales move at a crawl in the early-adopter phase, then surprisingly quickly once things go mainstream. The top of the curve represents the last people to make the transition. Even in 2022, a tenth of humanity still doesn't have electricity.

Five percent isn't a universal tipping point. Some technologies flip sooner, others later, but the basic idea is the same: Once the tough investments in manufacturing have been made and consumer preferences start to shift, the first wave of adoption sets the conditions to go much bigger."

I don't have anything smart to say about this as this is something I think I need to investigate and ruminate upon for a while, but I think most fandoms really do not handle stories about power - especially when protagonists are actively seeking it - well. It's a problem even in fandoms for stories that are explicitly about it (there are some fantastic Succession takes but also some deeply brain dead ones; I'm finding interesting discussion about The Ravening War to be drowned out by some truly idiotic shipping/blorbo-centric fanon; I am not in the GoT or ASoIaF fandoms but I've heard stories; it's an ongoing CR fandom issue). I think some of it is that a power struggle inherently rules out a lot of relationship headcanons and certainly kills fluff as a canon-compliant possibility. I think the other thing is, and I hate to bring this up constantly but it really is the most illustrative example, but the "Suvi without the imperialism" problem. I think people get so obsessed with narratives confirming their existing political/moral beliefs and latching on to the character who is Good and Correct that they forget that a lot of stories are about people who do complicated things and are tied into messy and problematic power structures, and how they respond. The story of the utopian commune is not actually a story unless it's secretly a dystopian commune. And that's not even getting to the idea of power as an abstract concept is neutral, and what you do with it is what's important. Anyway, as someone who loves stories about hierarchies and social structures and high fantasy chosen one narratives (which are, fundamentally, about being The Most Powerful) and the conflicts they engender this is very irritating because it just feels the fandom ignores 90% of the story as an unfortunate inconvenience.

#not to keep beating a very dead horse but like... #you cannot extract the blorbo from the ensemble and environment without losing most of the blorbo's innards #I think to have anything worth saying about a story one must be capable of the holistic view. #and this is why so many ship or blorbo-centric interpretations are so bad #bc power is the point in D&D and power requires interactions with other people #even in a story that isn't TRW #and if you are squeamish about it or need your faves to have clean hands you can never get close enough to make accurate observations

Right so it's definitely canon that César, the white horse from The Profeta likes Christine. She hand feeds him on the regular and he recognizes her and is happy to see her when Erik puts her on his back.

We can also assume (given that Erik was able to lead him off with apparent ease) that César, the white horse from The Profeta trusts and likes Erik as well; as much (or almost as much) as Christine.

So let's imagine for a moment Erik and Christine doing the age old "let's see who the pet likes better" game standing on opposite ends of the room with César in the middle and both trying to get César to come to them at the same time and hims don't know what to do.

(He finally chooses Christine, and Erik is both dejected but also can't fault him for going to Christine because of course he should because Christine is the best. In fact erik might have been offended if César didn't pick Christine.)
