  • Appaloosa: white hair and dark patches
  • Bay: red-brown, dark, mahogany bay, red bay, sandy are all common shades but bay must always have a hint of black.
  • Black: black but keep in mind that pure black is very rare.
  • Chestnut/Sorrel: reddish coat, may have brown/rws
  • Dun: yellowish commonly but can be reddish yellow horse
  • Paint/Pinto – white patches

These all tell you what the horse is telling you. Listen to your horse.

  • Blow: exhaling through the nose. This indicates curiousness and often followed by nuzzling.
  • Breathing: Yes, check if the horse is breathing first. Always a good point. But yes, horses have a resting breath that is relaxed. Changes to this could mean anxiety or fear.
  • Ears are up and pointed forward: alert and interested
  • Ears are pointed out to the side: Sleepy, tired, unwell or submissive.
  • Ears are pointed up: unwell or bored
  • Ears are back and pinned flat against the head: angry and aggressive. Fuck off right now or you’ll catch these hooves.
  • Neigh/Whinny: a sound made to look for company in people or horses.
  • Nicker: usually means “hello” in either a friendly context or a mating context. Mama horse will nicker to their kids.
  • Scream: usually while fighting some other horses.
  • Snort: exhaling through the nose sharply which is code for where’s the danger.

Horses need to be fed and it’s expensive. Horses are the most costly thing for a castle or army to have. It takes money to field a large calvary so make sure you have some food on board.

  • Apples and fruit.
  • Barley
  • Bran
  • Grass
  • Hays
  • Oats
  • Root vegetables – beetroot, carrots, parsnips, and turnips
  • Tack
  • Corn

  • Saddle: Your seat on the horse
  • Stirrups: supports that hang from either side of the saddle to support the feet.
  • Girth: A belt that fastens the saddle to the horse.
  • Bridle: The bit that goes over the horse’s face
  • Reins: connected to the bridle and ensures you have a grip
  • Bit: this is what the horse has between its teeth.
  • Horn: a raised portion of the saddle that sits at the point where the saddle is close to the neck.
  • Blanket: a drape of fabric used to warm a horse or stop rubbing from the saddle.

Things you ought to know about horses

  1. Riding bareback (i hear you laughing, pervert) is actually quite hard and dangerous
  2. Horses have limits and most can’t gallop all night without a break
  3. Horses often break legs and sometimes must be put down (honestly fuck you Veronica, #cobalt deserved better)
  4. Horses die in battle, not all horses make it out (you go, Joey)

Common horses mentioned in fantasy

  • Destrier: The most popular war horse of the medieval era. These horses are only ever really used by knights in battles, tournaments, and jousts. It was not the most common horse but it was considered the desired of horses even being called “the great”. Usually male, these horses were renowned for their agility able to turn quickly making it suitable for battle. Destriers are expensive. When one looks in the histories you seen them going for almost ten times the price of another breed. The breed has since died out but scientists and equestrians have since been trying to reproduce them.
  • Courser: This was the more commonly used and available war horse. It is fast and strong horse ridden by knights and men-at-arms. They were not expensive than the destrier but still would cost a pretty penny.
  • Rouncey: A commonly used horse used anything and everything. Mostly used for riding, the horse could be trained for battle.
  • Palfrey: Would be an expensive horse for riding. It was a slender horse with an ambling gait so it was prized for traveling over distance.
  • Hunters: Or more commonly called Thoroughbred. The Thoroughbred is a fast horse and an agile one. Though vest for racing, the thoroughbred was mostly used when the nobility went riding in hunting excursions.

Looking for a beta

Hey everyone!

I’m desperately looking for an English native beta who would read my random slash fics (right now it would be mostly The SEAL Team, Good Omens and/or whatever comes to mind) and check SPaG, weird wording, weird whatever.

The fics I would like you to beta are mostly fluff, less than 2K, rated PG or PG 13, with the occasional R.

Right now it’s mostly fills for Dreamwidth’s 3sentence challenge 2023, because I kinda feel like I lost my writing mojo, but I want it back, because it’s good for my mental health the soul.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, please contact me here on Tumblr.

It’s why you never wanted a post to escape containment here. It literally made your dashboard unusable for days or longer, obscured by notifications that didn’t even stack. It was wild. I miss it.

When you compare the men and women, it becomes very clear how sexist the uniforms are.

The Ring: If I had a quarter for every time a hobbit picked me up, I’d have two quarters. 
The Ring: Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Of all the bearers of Sauron’s ring, 4 of them were hobbits.

I was wrong. It’s 5. Not 4

The lineage of ring bearers is as follows.

  1. Sauron.
  2. Isildur
  3. Deagol
  4. Sméagol
  5. Bilbo
  6. Frodo
  7. Samwise

I love how Deagol counts as a ring bearer even though he had it in his possession for all of like five seconds

He held it for the rest of of his life!

[Image description: Tweet by @banalplay saying “but something happened then that the ring did not intend. it was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable: a hobbit, the same fuckin thing that just had it for like 500 years.” End Image Description.] Link to original here. Otherwise reblogging for the final rb there, which made me cackle.

From the ring’s perspective:

1. Home, the finger of my creator and other self.

2. Well, I don’t like it but I can work with this. Cause some trouble, get some revenge, find my way home, this is fine.

3. What the fuck is you?

4. Right personality, wrong species, I don’t know what you are but I hate you and I don’t know why you’re so resistant to my powers.

5. NO NO NO there are goblins everywhere how did I find another one of THESE horrible things. This one’s even more resistant than the last one and also disgustingly nice. I suffer.

6. Listen, I’ll cooperate, just get me the fuck out of this hellhole full of small cheerful people my power doesn’t work on properly. No, not like that. I hate you. Please stop. 

7. FUCK

8. (Frodo again) I still hate you with every molecule of my mortal form but at least you’re not number seven. Think I’m starting to get through finally. 

9. (Smeagol again) YES it’s you I actually missed you now get me back to the Master and NO FUCK NO I HATE YOOOOUUUUU…. *fzt*
