The problem with Halflingers is that they're basically barrels with legs. They're nice and steady-tempered, but I think there might be balance issues with the saddle, especially if c!Dream is still recovering from (or has permanent injuries because of) Pandora's Vault. I remember that I had to tighten the girth on the ground, again on the mounting block, and then get on and finish tightening the girth from the saddle and that isn't very... user friendly so to say?
Maybe a Fjord horse? They tend to run smaller as well, and they're built like a light-weight draft-horse mix. Also, the way the dorsal stripe carries up though the mane is iconic. I bet Techno would have a lot of fun doing fancy braids and hair cuts to really show it off.
What horse breed do u think spirit would be? And if dream would get another horse in the arctic? :3
i think spirit was a quarter horse. simply because they're fast over short distances AND really good in close quarters. like, there's a reason they're the barrel racing horse, y'know?

as for a horse that dream would have in the arctic, i'm so so tempted to say either an icelandic or a haflinger. they're just good, hardy horses that are typically calm and the icelandic in particular is well suited to cold.
they're both smaller, though, but i think post-prison dream would need that because i always headcanon him as being disabled afterwards due to the treatment in the prison. i think that makes sense, y'know?

Attention, rare sightings of the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork 🦩 🖤



“From the back, Vetinari looked like a carnivorous flamingo.” - Men at Arms
“Thin, pale, and clad all in dusty black, the Patrician always put Ridcully in mind of a predatory flamingo, if you could find a flamingo that was black and had the patience of a rock.” - Reaper Man

From Thud! Now, English isn't my first language, but I'm pretty sure that this has more than one meaning -

Ha ! Mr Patrician of Ankh-Morpork here thought he could get away with calling Vimes hot if he hid it in the middle of a speech.

While taking a nap today I dreamt there was a hazard sign called "never found" which was used to indicate a location where people disappeared never to be seen again

Writing sometimes feels like a strange disorder you just kind of cope with by being creative. Like your brain randomly decides to dump a million-piece puzzle in front of you and says, 'Solve this or we will never think of anything else, ever.' You toil away for years and by some miracle you solve it, and it's the most fulfilling, exhilarating feeling in the world. It's perfect. You did it. And your brain is like, 'OK, here's my idea for three sequels and a spinoff.'

20 Ways to Show Extreme Fear in Your Writing
As I dive into researching signs of fear for my horror WIP, I wanted to share some of the most compelling and visceral reactions I’ve come across. Whether you’re writing a chilling scene or crafting a character’s panic, these 20 signs of fear can help bring tension and realism to your story.
Physical Reactions
Hyperventilating — sucking in air but never feeling like it’s enough
Chest tightens — feels like a weight or hands pressing down
Limbs shaking violently, knees buckling
Complete loss of muscle control — collapsing or unable to stand
Cold sweat soaking through clothes
Heart hammering so hard they feel it in their throat or head
Tunnel vision — the world narrowing down to one terrifying focal point
Ringing in the ears or sudden deafness, like the world drops away
Dizziness / feeling faint / vision blurring
Dry mouth — unable to speak or even scream
Uncontrollable Behavior
Screaming / sobbing / gasping — involuntary vocal outbursts
Panic run — bolting without thinking, tripping over everything
Clawing at their own skin / chest / throat — like trying to escape their body
Begging / pleading out loud even if no one’s there
Repeating words or phrases — “No, no, no” / “This isn’t happening”
Hiding instinctively — diving under tables, closets, or corners
Desperate grabbing — reaching for someone, anything solid
Loss of bladder or bowel control (for extreme terror)
Total mental shutdown — frozen, slack-jawed, staring blankly
Memory blackout — later can’t recall what happened during the worst moment
