Remember the Horses

By Maj Mary-Ann Martinek

Wading into a raging sea All the horses swam to me From the beaches Where they’d stood alone My faithful friends Wanted to go home.

I saw them coming But not at trot I saw them struggling I saw them shot My faithful friends Turn back and flee My faithful friends Don’t swim to me.

Their strong, long legs Thundered through The salty waters They did not know The ships were faster Than the horses And soon Their familiar and determined faces Could no longer Be seen from where I stood.

But they didn’t Turn around and flee From that sea The horses swam Towards the sun They swam because They could not run They swam in company They swam abreast To their final conflict Their last test.

I watch the clouds From where I sit And remember those moments On that ship As horses shot and drowned at sea Had tried to follow And be with me They had not stopped for bullet blast Were trained too well to remain in cast By we Their masters, their mates, their friends Who were made to watch each short life end.

I watch the clouds again with love I see the horses riding above Their manes and tails flicking free All the horses had come with me Their hooves were silver and their manes were gold Some still swam to that sun of old The raging sea had not taken them Their instincts strong had found their men Because there I saw the emu plumes On slouch hatted figures amid the gloom I recognised those faces, freed Of all the men who rode with me.

From a world now peaceful and very still They rode their horses home with skill And now I know that when I die My faithful friend will be my guide With saddle ready and stirrups low My faithful friend will take me home.

Together we’ll ride the clouds of mist And remember no more The memories of those ships I’ll ride the nights with mates long gone We’ll be together, we’ll be strong The stars will fall and blanket the earth And mark our hoof prints in the turf. For we are free and ride your sky Concealed by clouds, we pass you by So little children Try to spy Our shadowy figures as we glide by For amidst the clouds In skies of red Gallop the spectres of your dead.

A certain fisherman [...] went to the same place again to fish, and he put a row of hooks on his heels in case he met the Púca again; he attached them like a horseman's spurs. When evening drew near, he made a halter of the fishing-line for the Púca. The Púca met him the second time. He himself caught the Púca, put the fishing-line over his head like a halter, and started to ride him. He drove him wherever he wanted to go, and he kept putting his heels with the hooks like spurs to the Púca's sides, so that the Púca was shedding blood from the pricks of the hooks.

The musical episode.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jin guangyao #nie mingjue #Remember jin guangyao: If you do any treachery you will face the wrath of five horses. #When are the horses going to come into play? You'll see. #s2.ep8 had beautiful music... I listened to it on loop while drawing! #Good music to chill out to before you fly into a rage. #This episode really cements how JGY's mind works - It is a matter of long-term outcomes at the sake of nearly everything else. #Morals do not matter to him if the outcome is more favourable. #and at the center of it all - he has learned that the only person he can truly trust is himself. #In turn - the only person his actions benefit are himself. #He will do anything and everything it takes to reach a position of power - not just for the power. But because it means safety. #Because it was something he was denied and the idea of not having control in his life again is unforgivable. #'Happiness' isn't a goal. We are looking at someone still stuck at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. #Everything and everyone is a piece in a game. Bonds and friendships are assets. People are dispensable. #He wants to climb for the sake of climbing. He wants praise and recognition because he feels it is deserved. It's all so hollow. #We could go deeper into his psyche on this. #But these are also tags under a comic in which 'evil penis music' is the punchline.

Me thinking about honses.

(Are they gods? Or unfortunate magical experimentations? When did the world blink, and they’ve grown— but not old, nor wise?

At least they’re sisters, and they have each other.

At least.

At least.)

Anyways here’s my doodles for a possible luna and celestia! They’re ancient alicorns, ascended during a great war that would later shape equestria as a primarily pony continent. (The modern alicorns are made with love. The ancient alicorns are made with desperation. Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker are not accidents.)

modern au and esen’s honkers are haunting the instagram feed

#id in alt text #yea this was inspired by That watermelon smashing vid #if u don’t know what i’m talking about you’re living a more peaceful life than i am #at first I was like hm maybe this is a bit too ooc for ouyang #then I remembered the 'doEs GeNerAL Xu pLAY thE FLuTE???' and I was like nah ok it checks out #no filter & accidentally revealing how much of a gayass he is is how he rolls #also rip Ma she's just trying to hang out with her boygf and that hideous Pest that Wretched Thang that useless twink #just manifests wherever zhu is and ruins the mood #she deserves to hatecrime him as much as possible #also I don't think esen is 100% aware he's posting blatant thirst traps. his insta is mostly pics of his horses and his beautiful eagle #then one vid of him doing mounted archery that breaks the internet for 3 weeks #rinse and repeat #also yeah wang's special skill is starting shit in the comments section #he would absolutely thrive in the toxic waste that is social media fights #ty for reading this far. more unhinged takes at 5 #esen-temur #zhu yuanzhang #ma xiuying #general ouyang #the radiant emperor #she who became the sun #he who drowned the world #my art

Pelops and his ivory shoulder

#Got house of Atreus on the brain disease 😔😔 again 😔😔 #Idk if I’m a huge fan of the way the ivory turned out #And I can’t remember if I made up the thing of shoulder actually meaning like upper arm #But anyways the lower arm is kinda meant to look like the marbling on Lydian pottery?? Since tantalus is sometimes king of Lydia?? #There’s various house of Atreus shit happening #Horses bc him and Poseidon were 🤨🤨 lovers??🤨🤨🤨 #greek myth #My art #the house of atreus #pelops #greek mythology art #The scarring around his arm really giving winter soldier #greek mythology

if a satyr met a centaur would it look like this or like this

#dnd #dungeons and dragons #fantasy art #centaur #satyr #faun #character art #nudity #thinkin about centaur proportions and remembered Nyssa has met one (actually a small herd but she only talked to the one) #the first one is based on the approx size of a wild horse-- the second on a fresian #BIG LADY. GIANT WOMAN #and of course nyssa is a wee lass anyway (she's only 4'8) #PROBABLY centaurs that are 'only' around seven feet tall are reasonable but the bighuge one is funny to me #my OCs #nyssa

Hello! I am simple tumblr merchant. Can I interest you in some of my wares?

-1 horse plinko game board, complete with fire sound effects

-10 gallons vanilla extract, on clearance! There was a huge market for it a while back so I bought a ton. No one's bought any since. :(

-1 GENUINE ball from the dashcon ball pit. Own a piece of history! How'd I get it? People really don't know the value of things- some guy gave it to me for free! When I asked what they wanted for it, they just got this haunted look in their eye and said not to worry about it.

You seem like a good sort, so I'll show you one of my secret backstock-a vintage Goncharov poster! Oh, you haven't seen it? It's an incredible movie, really changed my perspective on the human experience. You'll love it! So much that you'll wish you bought this poster when you had the chance! Only 70 credits!

Fuck you for your business!
