And one amang, an Iyrysch man,

Uppone his hoby swyftly ran…

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.

welsknight fanon v canon : aka the funniest contrast ive ever seen from fanon v canon.

heres the textless version and some thoughts

the contrast between canon and fanon with welsknight is so funny to me. every single fanon piece (usually writing but sometimes art) i see of him hes so knightly and goody two shoes and like. posh?? and then i watch his videos and he puts a bridge on hypnos front lawn without asking for permission. he made a secret tunnel between him and hypnos storage rooms for shits and giggles. hes doing an old man impression of kids these days with their gadgets and he brings up papyrus paper of all things. he gives off such mischevious little man vibes and he is at best a knight wannabe but realistically seems to be just be in it for the aesthetics and fandom takes it all way too seriously. its hilarious and i genuinely cant take any fanon depiction of him being all knightly and pretentious without thinking of the fact that he spent so much on mangrove to line the secret tunnel between him and hypnos storage rooms which he built without telling hypno. peak smug cat meme vibes

anyway uhhh tldr welsknight is not a knight that armour is made of foam and its hilarious how seriously the fandom takes him. send post

You're so mature and seems to be really calm and centered, so I want to ask, how to deal with criticism / hate towards your favorite shows / actors in fandom spaces? I'm all new to BL fandom so it has been hard to navigate. I feel the urge to defend them but at the same time I understand that everyone's preferences are different and some criticisms are valid. Even how they feel about it is valid too and if I come in and be like "actually 🤓", it would be weird. I know ideally, we should let each others be but I still feel sad a bit. Like the other day, I watched the Suntiny trailer and although it's not my type and I probably won't watch it, it still looks interesting and new to the genre. I came to the tag on Tumblr and the first thing I saw is someone said they regretted having eyes? Idk, I would appreciate some advices on how to deal with this on my own (because it's probably a me problem). Thank you 🥺

I had this mutual I ended up kind of stuck with who was just so relentlessly negative.

Like, she'd create side blogs to pick fights (I'm fairly sure with HERSELF to make herself feel important) and be like "Everyone defend me, they said my favorite actor's hair looked bad in this picture!"

And just, like, that was a 45 year old woman. Acting like a 6 year old.

You're not getting any awards for defending anything. No one gives you a sticker, nothing is monetized, nothing seriously matters. Tumblr is beyond the age where actors might have profiles even.

So because of that experience with that person, I took a relentlessly positive approach. I like what I like. If I don't like something, I don't reblog it. If I see a take that is a "Hell no", I don't engage with it. If I get an ask about headcanons I don't agree with, I'll politely disagree if I feel like it, but always let people think of things the way they want to.

If someone spreads hate in a tag, I block them. Tags are fun spaces for people to enjoy stuff, don't fill it with garbage. If I don't like something or have a take I think fans of that thing wouldn't like, I either don't post at all or don't tag the fandom.

Your best friend is the block button, your 2nd best friend is the "Delete" button on asks if they're spreading negativity (like shitting on actors or shows or whatnot).

The key to having the best experience on tumblr imaginable is to be the kind of blog you'd want to follow. Blog for yourself, and do it so that YOU have fun and YOU are enjoying things. If people don't agree with how you're doing you, they can block you just as easily as you can block them.

It isn't worth getting the heartrate up, just have fun with it, and you'll naturally find yourself attracting like-minded people. Nerd calls to nerd. Seriously, just be the blog you'd love to follow, and everything is good!

People respond HARD to just having fun, having interesting chats, enjoying things and yet also respectfully setting aside things or takes you don't agree with. Tumblr genuinely does respond the strongest to just being nice and having fun.

Okay. Fellas. Real talk. I've seen some of you do it and I thank you profusely for doing so but can yall PLEASE credit the original artist of that piece yall kinda made into an a dtiys/art meme? That's not official art. I am point blank refusing to engage with any of these pieces that I see not doing such. (Even when it pains me to keep scrolling, because some of them are really good!! And I want them here!!! But I do have some rules for myself I try to stand firm by with this blog.)

Like you can literally see them say right there that it's fine IF YOU CREDIT. I'm fucking begging you.

I'm not mad at anyone who didn't know but I've seen SO MANY versions at this point, and I think I've seen maybe 3 or 4 of them RECENTLY include the credit. (And one with improper credit, I think?) Please. Please just. Tack it on.

so my queue spat out another little guy ferret etho.

i have no idea how many times it already did that for you to get concerned about it but i got curious. there's 5 more in there, the last one tagged with some apologies that probably should have gone on the first one.

i was having a normal one on may 17th of last year i assume ? it's been so long i completely forgot </3 sorry for clogging your inbox i like him (normally)

lol no worries! for some reason i forgot cues existed and thought you were reblogging him once every couple of hours, it was less of "oh god why is this happening" and more of "what secret message are you trying to send me"

anyway here is a page of eef doodles

Poolside Fun - Part 2 of 3

(my other TROP fanfics)

Silverscars (Adar/Celebrimbor), modern!AU, poolside, Rated E for smut. Celebrimbor visits the local public pool during summer, with Adar being the lifeguard on duty. Both find themselves intrigued by the other right away – but Celebrimbor isn’t so keen on the prospect of snogging in the shed with the risk of being caught. Adar asks Celebrimbor to stay until after closing time. They do a lot more than just kissing. And, as it turns out, might be interested in more than just some quick fun.

Part 2 (Rated E): After a long day of mutual anticipation, Adar's shift finally ends. As the pool closes for the evening, the two men settle on one of the lounge chairs together. While they take some time to chat and ease into things, they don't stay talking for long before taking things further - much to both of their enjoyment.

(Note: This chapter includes smut, hence the rating. Also, obligatory 'don’t do this at home aka at your local public pool, people'.)

Part 2 of my Poolside!AU entry for @rivendellwatch's Spice Week 2025! This is where the magic happens - though, not all of it, hehe. ;) Enjoy! <3
