The blog for whatever catches my fancy, which, right now, is Supernatural and The Legend of Zelda. Or general geekery if you will.

in all fairness, horses arent all that fragile. they’re a bit like tempered glass; they can take a good beating, but once they break they really break and your left wondering how the hell it broke so dramatically because you’ve seen it get smacked around a lot harder and not break

Can confirm.

Lol, here’s a fun one: if you had been born in the medieval era and without access to modern medicine, how long would you have lived? If I managed to survive being born (unlikely) I would have died at age 22 from appendicitis :) hbu?

The number of you absolutely convinced you would have been convicted of witchcraft and burned at the stake seems statistically unlikely.

I would have died before I was ever able to be born. And if I *somehow* had managed to be born, asthma would have killed me and if not that, then horses surely would.

A horses intestine is like a human appendix. Purpose not always clear and randomly decides its time to die.

As someone whose horse died to torsion colic, can confirm. Sometimes their guts say "time to die"

So my mane point of posting this is to say that things have gotten not very stable and there is neigh way it can continue.

Man, that tack and feed shop opened a can of worms they weren't expecting. You want me to show you pictures of my horse? We'll be here for the next 6 hours while I go into extreme detail about all the horses I have ever had and what each one does every day.

After rewatching season 4 trailer for Apex, new thoughts have arrived.

Revenant realizes he was only programmed to believe he was still human and continued doing human habits such as shaving as we see in the trailer. It is assumed that in his mind his surroundings are well kept and “normal” when really they aren’t as we can tell with the dead plants, loose wiring, etc.

So throughout that time before the programming malfunctions, Revenant has been going about his day in these conditions doing human things.

He’s watering the plants, but the faucet doesn’t work, the cup is a cracked and broken vessel, and the plants are dead.

He’s making his bed, but the blankets and sheets are moth-eaten rags.

He goes to make some food, but the fridge is empty. Any containers present are also empty. His plate is empty and in reality, Revenant sits at a table raising an empty fork to his face plate and putting it back down to an empty broken plate.

He has a pet cat who sleeps a lot, but it’s just the bones of a stray.

He watches television from time to time, but really it’s just him sitting in a worn chair staring at a wall.

The surrounding floors of the building if not the entire building he stays in are/is empty. His immediate neighbors are just MRVN’s he thinks are people.

this gave me sad vibes writing this…

After growing up with narnia, alice in wonderland, etc I love the idea that inhabitants of fantasy worlds are just kind of desensitized to strange children appearing from other worlds to interfere drastically with local history and politics. like that’s just a thing that happens, you learn to adjust

no wait that’s literally jesus. it jesus

This is literally the premise of Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children series. It’s an excellent series and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Yes!!! I just read the first in the series, Every Heart A Doorway, and it’s phenomenal! Highly recommend!

Seanan McGuire is absolutely prolific honestly, and has published a huge range of works (including a bunch of amazing sci-fi/horror published under the penname Mira Grant) here’s her website.

Dude, Mira Grant is one of my absolute favorite authors. The Newsflesh Trilogy is one that I can read over and over again. As a matter of fact, I emailed Seanan last year a few months into the pandemic to ask how if would have a effected the way she wrote Fees and this is what she wrote back

“apple flavored” ivermectin tastes awful, in case you were wondering

I've stopped trying to use "flavored" dewormers for horses. I've just accepted that it's going to taste like shit and it's going to be a battle no matter what to get them to take it. 🙄. I can only imagine that rats probably dislike the flavor just as much. At least they're not 1600 lbs of dislike so probably a lot easier to manage haha

are you living or are you just jumping from one obsession to the other to run away from yourself

what are you the coping mechanism police or something

Honestly, this was me until I met my boyfriend. It's amazing to realize how much I depended on fandom obsessions to make my life feel worth something. For once in my life, I finally feel normal and not like my life is something I need an escape from.

Oh this makes me happy while simultaneously making my heart hurt. I had to give up my boy in February because I was spending every last penny I had to make sure he was well cared for while barely being able to feed myself. I miss trail riding so bad
