can you please explain who these horses are????
You made a mistake in asking me, but I will try anyway. This will go over some general things and mainly focus on white and cyan, not so much the other horses.
They are characters from a Twitter webseries/game(?) hosted by @/snakesandrews. Where viewers essentially vote on whatever horse they think might win. These horses bounce around randomly off of objects like a screensaver of sorts, and a horse wins once it touches a png of a carrot.
These horses are typically referred to by their color until they win and are thus given a name, for instance, orange, eventually becoming jovial merryment.
How much or how little these horses win as well as what goes on during a race end up leading to a lot of fan made content. And for the most part, any characterization of these horses is largely up to fan interpretation.
For these two horses, white and cyan specifically? White and cyan and brown would go on to not win one match for quite some time, leading to them being put into a race all on their own. Which brown would eventually go on to win and attain the name Door Knob. Leaving white and cyan in their own little race. With a special little map, file this special little map for later.
It is important to note that these races do not usually last much longer than around 2 or 2 and a half minutes. Cyan and White would go on to race for a whole 7 minutes and 9 seconds. This led to a lot of fans depicting them as sort've not wanting to win, usually because of enjoying one another's company or something similar. I'm a yuri minded individual, so you can probably guess how I decided to interpret it.
As you probably realized, since they had a defined time for the race, a winner also exists. This is where White had won, earning the name Superstitional Realism. This led to a lot of fans depicting Cyan as either feeling betrayed or upset by white winning. Some also show Cyan being happy for white.
It here that white, now superstitional realism(I will refer to her as Sup from now on), would join the next days' race and proceed to not win. And in the next day's race, white would be mysteriously missing. It is in this race that Sup is missing that something unusual happens once the race is over.
Cyan has lost every single race, every single one. This race where Sup is missing is followed by a video in which Cyan was racing all alone in an empy room with only herself, eventually obtaining her first win. But did such a win even count? There was no one for Cyan to even race against after all. It was assumed Cyan would get a name for her victory, but the fanfare screen would simply continue listing her name as Cyan.
People expected that Cyan would finally join the next race proper, only for the next race to be a race between what looked to be 7 distorted horses (6 a form of cyan, and 1 white). Despite there being 6 cyans, they still lost to the distorted white horse, whose fanfare screen read "a Mysterious figure." Leading many to think this might be cyan reliving her worst moments, and more specifically, the moment where she get left behind by white.
The latest race as of this post was with the regular set of horses interspliced with the 6 distorted cyans having a race of their own. It's unknown if this "nightmare" world is real or in cyans head. But one of the 6 distorted cyans does win and is rewarded with the name of Garbage Bin. We then cut back to the "normal" world where Sup remains missing and jovial merryment wins the race(go figure).
Now, do you remember that special little map where cyan and white initially raced in? The "normal" world race was taking place on the very same map, just with more color and rounder edges. This leads to me and probably a few others believing that that last race was the other horses looking for cyan.
My assumption for why Sup has been missing for the last few races is because white had already gone back to look for cyan ahead of everyone else.
As for how the story might end? Well, you can find out both today and Friday as the series seems to be having it's last to races.
Will jovial win once more? It's possible. It's annoyingly possible. And will cyan and sup have a happy ending? I SURE HOPE SO. SAVE YOUR GIRL.
Whadya mean I'm getting emotional over screensaver pngs?!?
Apologies if this was long winded, I'm not used to typing this much and suck at using words. BUT you made the mistake of asking me, dear Anon. Always remember there is always yuri for those with eyes to see. Now go consume some fan content, there's a lot of really good writers and artists out there, show them some love.

Bonus 9: So that's where the turtle came from!
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#bonus comic#tulu xuanwu#lan sizhui#Thank you Stackedbirds for the inspiration behind this comic!#The original plan was that they would kill the turtle - only for it to be revealed there was little baby turtles she was protecting#and those turtles left the cave to then be chilling in a river by yi-city 20 years later.#This version has less turtle death and is way more straightforward.#But yes; A-Qing's turtle was always supposed to be linked to the tulu xuanwu. I enjoy call-backs and set-ups immensely.#What other creatures does LSZ have in his sleeve pockets? What other endangered beasts have been accidently translocated?#Will the turtle ever make an appearance again? So many questions. Which I will now answer:#1) At least one rabbit and a few songbirds have made a permanent home in there.#2) I like to think all the cultivators leaving baoshan sanren's mountain are accidently translocated endangered creatures.#3) Yes. The tulu xuanwu will be pivotal presence in the climax of the story. Dare I say - the hero of the darkest hour.

You know Kid pirates truth or dare goes hard
Oh 100%
The punishments for not doing a dare or an admitting a truth are customized, and you'll get three things to choose from. One will always have something to do with sex, another will be just hilariously kind of humiliating and the 3rd will be a chance to redeem yourself and do the original ask/task.
And sometimes the options themselves aren't really set up to deter you from choosing them. No one's going to be losing if someone is bent over the table and made to orgasm for everyone else's entertainment.
Not even the poor sap that's bent over the table. >.>
#quin answers#reader insert#x reader#anon asks#man I wanna play truth or dare with the Kid Pirates#I've had some of those games pretty hard#but that would be some real pinnacle shit I bet

If you want to be bothered. Maybe this for dick and Bruce???
i ALWAYS want to be bothered these are always the highlight of my day tbh you're a delight for letting me just yap <3

Dick. For the canon isn't real square I am Specifically talking about the Tom Taylor Nightwing run. Usually I ignore bad runs but given this one is ongoing (though about to end THANK GOD and get replaced by Dan Watters who i have high hopes for since i adored his Sword of Azrael (2022) run but i digress) so I counted it. Especially since it's so debated if that run is bad or not, for some reason. I'm a 90s Nightwing truther. I love Dick so dearly and tbh recently I've been more enamored with him the more I read his Discowing era, I didn't used to be as big of a Dick stan as I am these days.

Bruce. Honestly where do you even start with Bruce. I want to fist fight him and also patch him up. He got me into comics and superheroes as a whole but I roll my eyes whenever he shows up in a story. He's a bastard and usually not a good father but also complex and should be dissected under a magnifying glass. I love him dearly. He's also just the worst. I think that's why I love him. I'm always a fan of unabashedly Complicated Asshole Bruce who's generally not always the best person, particularly not to the Batfamily and that being the driving force of his relationships with them, especially in shipping.

And for bonus points, Tim. Because know above all else, I'm a Tim Drake kinnie /deg. He's been my number one for a decade and I've yet to uproot him from my brain. He's literally the Worst half the time and I love him for it. And the canon isn't real refers to Tim Drake: Robin because... that sure was a comic. And that's about all I can say about it. Pre-Flashpoint Tim I miss you so dearly. I think it's fun that I want to put him in a blender and drink the juice but also want Nothing Ever to happen to him.
#necrotic answerings#batcest#bruce wayne#dick grayson#tim drake#fandom tag#anyway the fandom is i guess mean to all of them#but like it's deserving.#everytime i meet a tim anti i'm like you're SO right. he's the worst. pls hate his ass more.#same with bruce. like never met a bruce anti who didn't have endless receipts for hating his ass.#(except for those using the shallow 'he's a billionaire beating up the mentally ill' argument which. i ignore)#(bc why are you. consuming superhero content if you just don't like or understand the genre. it's lazy pseudointellectual nonsense.)#and i don't think ppl are truly mean to dick. i think they just don't understand him.#which extends to the entire batfamily bc well. the state of the fandom and all.#like “everyone else is wrong about them” isn't in a “no one gets them but me” way#(except about tim truly no one gets him but me /j)#it's in a “oh y'all just want to fit them into neat boxes don't you” way#one more person call dick grayson “eldest daughter core” and i'm going to your house and eating the stuffing out all of your pillows.#first of all can we stop calling male characters “female coded” in any way please#women exist in comics too.#second of all it's just not true? and it's not the complex he has with bruce nor his “siblings” if you wish to call them that#and then bruce. where do you even start.#you dare say you think it's in character for bruce to hit his kids and *SOCIETY. society goes wild.*#like ofc it has to be in specific contexts. he's not just swinging.#and sometimes it *is* written very OOC bc bruce is written as a machismo self insert i give you that#but yeah a soldier who views his children as soldiers and has zero healthy emotional regulation or communication skills#is gonna sometimes swing in his worst moments. it is just how the superhero genre works everyone is gonna fist fight to solve problems.#why are you reading comics about ppl who hit other ppl for a living if you don't like it when they hit ppl.#also random hot take about dick's characterization#the young justice tv show did incredible damage to ppl's perception of him and i dislike the take it's the best adaptation of him

i fully support your maxoscar thoughts
*long sigh*
🌞 day version: max v and oscar, two of the company’s most talented devs, are put together on a project to launch a new product in a timeframe that other people have said is “impossible”. the whole team expects fireworks, but it turns out the two of them are just really good at their jobs. they have a brutally efficient 30 minute daily standup with the team and everyone works super hard but smart and it’s clinically excellent. like. the industry has never seen such a painless and efficient build before. also they are the most aggressive demonstrators of end of day clean desk policy. oscar only has a single potted plant on his. max has only pictures of his two cats in minimal black photo frames. they both use wet wipes aggressively.
🌚 after dark version:
the same thing, but lando and charles start to get jealous about the time max and oscar are spending together. to the point where other people notice and comment. and also oscar and max talk in unintelligible programming shorthand and have too many in jokes. so then, after hours, oscar and max discuss what they should do about this. having run through waterfall scenarios and decision trees of all possible options, both of them blurt out, at exactly the same time:
“foursome?”
#maxoscar#verstapiastri#is that the tag?? I never spell it right#ok wait—#verstapstri#background landoscar#background lestappen#wiz.HCs#the obvious answer to four attractive men in an rpf scenario is obviously:#polyamory#dare to dream y’all#but will you catch me writing it? probably not because it’s too annoying to Tetris all those limbs together#wiz.brainrot

Go play pretend on your own (Patreon)
#Doodles#Helix#Dexter Favin#Coraline#The Beldam#The other side of this coin <3 Call him out but this time make it unfriendly hehe#I talked last time about the daring rescue!! I do love the daring rescue in Coraline AUs ah same thing with the Camp Camp Coraline AU haha#Burst in through the door! Those poor hinges!#It is a bit funny imagining him crawling through the tunnel in a hurry and kicking the doors open all winded haha <3#It's all very serious of course Max needs help! Stuck behind the mirror from disobeying perhaps?#I was pretty hard on him last time that he'd just Immediately give up his soul for cheap tricks but like - would he?#Yes he's reckless and foolish but he's also stubborn and prideful and hates being told what to do so there's that lol#Which does he want more! The high or his freedom to refuse? I could see it going either way#And for Dex's sake I would hope he'd refuse! As if he hasn't suffered enough eye trauma (eventually)#Ough the thought of him starting to say yes and getting one button eye in and then rescinding his yes ouch#Doomed to have one eye no matter where he goes ah 💔#Anyway - Dex!!! Watch I'll make another one with the ideas mentioned here and then talk about more ideas in those tags pft#Since agreeing with him didn't work how about shaming? ''Go away you're no better''#She really is going hard on him like ''What's your angle? You get him back and then what? Will that actually fix anything?''#Very much pulling from Dexter's meetings with Max at the Institute there hhhhhh as if I needed more feelings about it#Eco_Mono did such a beautiful job playing Dex - so much to consider hehe - but there was one question that I can't stop thinking about#''Why would you want him back?'' and Dexter didn't really have much of an answer - he was barely more than a concept at the time!#Having had the opportunity to see his character grow into himself has given me Such brainworms about that question ♥♪♫#Very want to explore it <3#In the meanwhile it's fun to pit these two against each other haha what an odd matchup ♪#I've only barely drawn the Beldam before now that I think of it! And I think only in her final metal-spidery form never in her mid form here#She's fun :D And so tall! Dexter finally feeling small for a change haha#Her having to fight adult selfishness would be quite interesting I think - something tinged with but not quite the same as loyalty#She can relate to the possessiveness at least hehe I'm sure he'd appreciate the comparison

Lorenza has SIX DIFFERENT SELFSHIPS how have I managed this
#heart of the void#selfshipping#self-inserts#*flops*#the answer to how I have managed this is ''talking to selwyn too much'' given that half of those six are with their OCs /lh#(or well. callosity *is* camellia but specifically as a sin eater. like how you could argue colombina is lorenza after becoming a voidsent)#(but because that ship is specific to one verse and there's a change in name - it does feel like a separate selfship. so I class it as one)#this is also perhaps a likely consequence of me playing pretty much nothing but final fantasy for the past *checks the calendar* two years#yeah it's been two years straight how have I managed this#self‑insert: void‑kissed princess (lorenza)#dare I tag them all? oh why not#selfship: in a land forever strange (zero/lorenza)#selfship: wayward inflorescence (clio/lorenza)#selfship: a path beyond ruin (cylva/lorenza)#selfship: frost‑darkened feathers (camellia/lorenza)#selfship: antilight (callosity/lorenza)#selfship: l'oscurità dell'ignoto (cantarella/lorenza)#of shards and crystal (final fantasy)#six romantic selfships of which *two* are canon characters. what am I *like* >w<#strictly speaking the more accurate wording here is ''I use lorenza for six different selfships how have I managed this''#but I think the post itself flows more amusingly if I write it this way >w<

repeated note to self: AVOID FANFIC REDDIT D: D: D:
#i just think. it is interesting. that they'll openly slag off shorter works in general while spouting 'some people prefer those!' platitudes#but on the rare occasions someone dares to venture that most longfics have pacing issues or whatever they FLIP THEIR SHIT LOL#and get very defensive about “no MY work longer than LotR NEEDS to be that long! it's full of subplots and character development!”#yet from the sounds of it the premise is actually fairly thin and they have no idea how good it is or isn't.#OH YEAH BY THE WAY it seems many longfic readers just lose their ability to judge fiction by normal standards#if everything you read of any length leaves you worried about what you'll read next and NOTHING ELSE then that *is* a problem#for which i am willing to invent the term 'disordered reading.'#oh EVERY published novel feels rushed to you? how about you're just used to padded longwinded shite because of fandom?#where Nanowrimo/Big Bang length (50k words) is not even considered 'long' by many readers.#oneshot writer blues#my longest fic needs an edit and i know it#so why is THAT the only one that ever made a rec list in this fandom? eh? eh eh eh? we all know the answer to that!#fanfic life

I'm sorry you constantly get your art stolen.
it’s alright, i’m pretty numb to it by now after the horrors of what I’ve been through in other fandoms. People will continue to do it whether I like it or not, which is why I don’t bother watermarking my fanart with “do not repost” anymore—they don’t care lol
that being said, if I do happen to catch anyone reposting my danmei fanart onto other sites without permission, don’t expect me to be nice about it lol
#im sure it’s all over fb those are the biggest offenders#idk if danmei fandom spaces are kinder about watermarking but in fe fandom woooow they will call you every name in the book#if you dare to watermark your art with ‘do not repost’ it makes them seethe#the entitlement and harassment is unfathomable at times#answered#anonymous

but what about the other Martin
#I'm greedy#one martin stepping down isn't enough for me#and I think the other one is more in charge#this means very little#I have no belief that there'll be actual change#but good riddance anyway#maybe he can take the more free time to work on his writing#I've heard it's bad#(I don't think he's the cause of all esc evil)#(there's people he answered to)#(but he was the visible face of the organization so he took the brunt of it)#(I don't think he was particularly good at his job anyway. but he was also unlucky)#(like... would jon ola sand do any better? I don't think so)#(maybe on those little tweaks the tv show has gotten)#(but he wouldn't have a say on the participation list or the flag rules for example)#(also I better not see you asking for his return)#(let's dream a little bigger. there's gotta be someone south of scandinavia that can do the job)#(and dare I say.... maybe a woman?)

We're always innovating at Whatsthatmagiccard Inc., especially when the inbox's dry. This time, we are hoping to find the Magic card that best fits Tumblr. Since there's over 25,000 of them, we'll narrow things down 20 Questions style. I'll come up with a new poll every day to do so, and by the end, we should land on a single card that is the most Tumblr. Let's start.
Colorless wins by plurality as usual. If colorless doesn't win, every color above 15% is included in the card. Feel free to collude in the notes--if anything, I encourage it.
#also a tag for it just for posterity since there's gonna be like a dozen polls probably#[the tumblr card]#...okay i say dozens but there's definite options that only have one answer like three polls in.#i'll never Name a card specifically but once we get down to it you can probably find them yourself if you dare#15% feels a little low but it's the first nice number that guarentees a winner#if it was 20% we could have each color get say 18% and colorless get 10%. by those rules there's no winner
