no matter whether ppl are trying to make zk's canon relationship out to be sibling coded or associative friends or whatever else ppl make up i feel it all comes from this place of people that don't ship it being unable to handle zuko and katara's canonically deep and intimate friendship at the end of show without (whether subconsciously or not) perceiving it as some kind of threat to whatever katara or zuko ship they DO ship (usually either k/a or z/s or m/z)
they don't know how to acknowledge/write zk (and i don't think them being a m/f ship is divorced from this) having their canonically close friendship alongside whatever they ship because that closeness, no matter how platonic, can't supersede the romance of their own ship. so they just lazily write it off as "siblings" or convince themselves they weren't ever that close in the first place or that katara still secretly hates zuko or something in order to get out of the bind of allowing them to be close friends even if you ship them with other people 🤷♀️
Zuko/Jet, if that’s obscure enough idk. I don’t ship them in any sort of like, healthy or romantic way, but I do think they should have had an extremely toxic/ill-advised boat fling.
okay well this one is very popular so if i speak my truth i may actually get put on a list. but no matter. jet is my least favorite minor character, and zuko is my least favorite main character (to be clear i still love him, he’s just not as compelling to me as the rest of them are) so nothing about their dynamic interests me personally. also i have a very hard time reading their interactions on the ferry as anything other than zuko not being able to stand this guy at all. like yes i do think zuko is gay, but not for him!!! the one thing zuko truly has to his name is taste. yeah he liked stealing food, but it wasn’t because he gave a shit about who he was stealing food with, he was just hungry. and then he found jet’s later persistence that they be friends grating. whatever jet was seeing in zuko was entirely a one-sided projection, both during his positive and negative images of him as a person. wherein lies the tragic irony, because considering the information jet is privy to, the conclusions he jumps to are insane, but also, he’s even more right than he knows (considering iroh, yknow, literally burned down his village and killed his parents). but zuko is literally just sitting there and he doesn’t really give a fuck about this guy at all. also it simply would not make sense for zuko’s arc if he was like. actually doing gay shit in book 2. i know it would be really funny if katara and zuko both hooked up with the same guy, but i don’t really think that’s the case. sorry guys

flight: a kirby fan animation
i felt like showcasing a bunch of a the different copy abilities that enhance kirby's flying abilities, surprised no one's done it yet even. i've had this idea in my head since before forgotten land was released and they since gutted kirby's hovering lmao. also it'd be nice if they made an amazing mirror type game again
all of this is done in adobe animate with a few post-processing effects in adobe after effects
this was done purely out of passion and took a long time to finish. if you liked what you saw and want to see morefeel free to support me on ko-fi and follow me in other places! anything would be greatly appreciated!
Turn on your kitchen sink, and the falling jet may form a circle of shallow flow where it strikes the sink. This fast-moving region of flow, surrounded by a wall of water, is a hydraulic jump.

Archie Vandover & White Rabbit (2016 Holsteiner g.) in the 1.40m class.
I wasn't going to share any of my Monaco entries here, the reason being that I did not (do not, really) think them anything special. But I have since been talked around, and besides that, I suppose it's not a bad thing to occasionally provide proof of life (and relevant activity) on one's blog.
Anyway- this picture.
This picture is dedicated to the schoolmaster every rider has known at some point; the one who'd faithfully plod around for a novice but would go like a firecracker for someone capable.
For me, that was a horse named Sandy. At Lowmax, it's a horse named Rabbit.
If anyone else wants to indulge me with stories and reminiscences about such an old schoolmaster you've known, you have the floor 👇
