And one amang, an Iyrysch man,
Uppone his hoby swyftly ran…
Tumblr media
WAIT HANG ON - slamming the brakes on drawing this stupid picture - do you nerds even KNOW the etymology of the word “hobby”? The thing you do for pleasure? The thing you have too many of? The thing you spend too much money on and share with your friends? The thing tumblr probably is to you? Those hobbies?
It comes from a now-kind-of-extinct breed of Irish pony-horse. It was called the Irish Hobby. Supposedly the hobby got its name from the Gaelic word obann, or swift. They definitely were. They’d obann your pants clean off.
Fast tough little bastards, built for rough terrain and renowned for their speed and stamina, hobby horses belonged to the Celts, and their highly annoying style of mounted warfare. but their conquerors liked hobby horses a lot, kept them, used them for themselves, and found them useful enough, despite the fact that they also had famously useful things like mounted knights or horse archers. A lightweight Irish warrior, mounted on a hobby horse, was called a hobelar.
Reportedly and in depictions, hobelars rode without stirrups. Or saddles. Or bridles. Or - well - this is all sounding very improbable, because the hobelars COULDNT have just been charging around basically bare-assed on naked ponies, screaming, and somehow in the process undoing the composure of actual mounted armoured knights. Knights who, I remind you, had stirrups. Stirrups are useful! It’s quite likely the hobelars had some gear. And clothes. and weapons. And the ponies probably had some tack - I am picturing a bellyband that you could at least hang a saddlebag on, and a neck rope for catching the bloody thing, even if not a saddle. But the overall impression, somehow created by people on darling little ponies, was apparently quite striking and fearful.
I mean. God Forbid People Have Hobbies.
Anyway after a while, whatever people became the British had eventually conquered all of the rough terrain that hobbies were best at, and horse archers just got sexier, and mounted knights became aristos, and all the bog and forest people had been subdued, so it was time to sunset the hobelars. but WAIT! Hobby horses are still tremendously fun and appealing! They’re so fast! and you can ride them without a saddle! Sure, they’re not up to the weight of a mounted knight, or indeed a lot of guys… but surely we can still find a use for a hobby or two? In the back garden? Somewhere?
At which point an English king decided to keep hobby horses just for fun. No military application. No further development of the technology. Not for fun. Just as expensive, pleasurable, pets. Just for the joy of the thing.
And that is how hobby (activity done purely for pleasure) comes from hobby horse (small horse) possibly from obann (swift.) they’re very interesting and you should look all this up for yourself! because it sure sounds like Elodie doing a bit, doesn’t it?
Today, Irish Hobbies are functionally nonexistent. References for drawing include the Kerry Bog Pony, the Connemara, and (I personally think) Dartmoors and Exmoors. They’re said to have lent their speed to the Irish Hunter/Sport Horse and from there to the Thoroughbred, but every damn horse in the world claims relation to the Thoroughbred, and they can’t be THAT thoroughly bred.
At any rate - you can never have enough hobbies. Just be glad that yours aren’t expensive beasts with minds of their own, eating their heads off in the pasture! …Unless they are. In which case, you’re part of a proud tradition.
#Killie#this is Killie’s ancestor who occasionally turns up in hallucinations with various ghost horses#like all elements of magical realism in the killieverse he does absolutely NOTHING useful.#your ancestor is neither proud of you nor disappointed in you. he’s riding alongside explaining some thoughts he had at breakfast#performing weird fuckin feats of equitation outside the window while you’re trying to sit through school or waiting in the queue at Greggs#if you wake up in a hospital bed in a bleary moment before consciousness he’s perched next to you chattering complete fucking nonsense#about. like. the stupidest stuff. like he’s just free-associating his thoughts based on a pattern in the ceiling tiles. incredibly annoying#his dialect just close enough to Irish that you can pick out a few words here and there#enough to tell that it’s complete nonsense. but also he’ll just say things like BASED. (possibly he is also visiting miles?)#and occasionally he points out that he did everything you do in your job but barefoot. no stirrups. in the snow. uphill both ways.#which is quite hard to do in a bog since they’re notably quite distinctively flat usually so sometimes he’d have to find a hill and ride up#and down it a few times just to build character. no saddle no bridle no shoes and the Romans were there maybe - and when you object to that#thinking there seems to be a lot of collision of timelines and historical accuracy - he doesn’t speak Irish suddenly . and why would he.#anyway he doesn’t exist and never did. but he’s fun#occasionally turns up to ride alongside you in a race apparently just to prove he can keep up with modern breeds#usually he can surprisingly well but tbf his horse is a ghost. and when he can’t he says well. I’m not a professional like you.#this. is just my hobby. ahahahahahahahahahshahahahahasha#and with that I get back on my hobby horse and ride away

Kiara has been banned from the library???
WHAT DID GIRLYPOP DO 😭‼️There are several other patrons with disgustingly unacceptable behavior — just look at the stains on the shelves and carpet! I demand to speak with the manager RIGHT THIS SECOND!!☝️
FREE HERRRR
/silly
Kiara set her sibling up on a date with Teo, so now she's unfortunately doomed to— *comically loud sound of books falling down a staircase* —which then leads to the unfortunate set of events involving Elanor during Day— *Conan's absurdly loud dad sneeze can be heard from his office* —Oh!! And also, if Teo is kept alive, then in Day T— *sounds of someone blowing up the employee lounge again* —So in saying all of that, Kiara has been banned on account of— *who tf is operating a forklift inside the library????* —...But what's this about stains on the shelves?? ^^

I'm so hung up on a puppy hybrid reader 😩
Imagine she has one stuffy that they bought her that she just adores, big and soft and cuddly. She plays a little too rough with it at times and always gets so sad when she rips a seam or pokes a hole, to the point that Johnny in all of his artsy wisdom keeps a bag of stuffing and the exact color of thread he needs so whenever a new hole pops up, she just has to bring it to him and he'll re-stuff and mend her lovey 😭 Price probably has a few duplicates stashed in his closet because he anticipated her ripping them up, but she wants her ORIGINAL lovey that they gave her when she first got there, otherwise its not the same.
I feel like that applies to CRCB too. One of her stuffed animals gets a hole? Johnny is jumping at the opportunity to mend it and keep their omega happy. I have a feeling he'll have to mend the bear eventually anyway *cough cough maybehiddensurveillancedevice cough*
I've been thinking so much about hybrid!reader. I saw a cat Tiktok and I was like...what if hybrid!reader did that. The brainrot is real.
Oh Johnny so would do that. Learns to sew just to be able to fix the reader's stuffy. Goes full surgery with it and makes it a big deal. The reader loves it though and always gives him kisses as thanks for fixing her toy.
Oh Johnny definitely sews holes for everything lol. He's probably tried to mend some panties that have fallen victim to some alpha strength, but he has to just count those as an L (and hide them in his own dresser for later).

I have no desire to do any more leveling today, but I have no clue what I should do.
Either this means I will make another oc because boredom, or I will actually be productive. My money's on the former, but we shall see.
