fallouttt horses. I don't have a snazzy name for them, they're just my silly little guys.

Transcript cause my handwriting is bad:

Fanged mouth - used for offence and defense. They are opportunistic predators and will often eat small animals like mice and lizards, or birds if they can catch them.

Bristles - Bristles on their withers/shoulder and on their croup are tough and sharp, meant to dissuade any predator who might be big enough to grab them or jump on their back. These are frequently cut down for the comfort of the horse and rider.

Spurs and secondary spurs - Spurs for defense. They are larger on males than on females. Not every horse has secondary spurs; Spurs are usually shaved down by farriers for workhorses or horses kept in herds to prevent injuries.

Three toed hind feet - toed hind feet give the hoof more grip when turning and on uneven terrain.

Standard bred horses are found all over. Decently healthy, decently strong and fast, they're good workhorses and riding horses both. Usually even tempered, they can be prone to fighting.

Heavy bred horses are usually workhorses or cart horses. They have good endurance and good health, but poor speed. They are calm horses, and don't tend to get aggravated easily.

Desert bred horses are fast and have good endurance, but they are badly tempered and difficult to train. They are favored mounts of Legionaries due to their intelligence and the ease of care, but they can frequently injure their riders.

strange take but "thoughtcrimes aren't real even with your trans loved ones/friends and you can't hurt them just by thinking wrong somehow" and "you need to make an effort to change the way you mentally perceive your trans loved ones/friends because if you let yourself just see them as their birth gender in your mind, OR even just start mentally sorting them as 'AFAB/AMAB', you are much more likely to fuck up in your language and behavior" are things that can and should coexist

Happy Pride!!! I'm here to ask if you'd be willing to share a headcanon or anything about our favorite Zed boy? I re-read your work lately and it just makes me happy.

Happy pride!!! I will happily share some thoughts!

I may have talked about this before, but Zed loves singing. He gets really drawn into voices, and has a particular fondness for deep vocals (warm bass gives him chills). It is also an area of frustration, because his voice doesn’t match what he wants to sing, and he’s struggled with being self conscious of it.

He has very much enjoyed the trope of a woman dressing as a man that appears in media, with two of his favorites being Mulan and She’s the Man. He was, however, always a little sad when they didn’t maintain their persona at the end of the movie.

I enjoy the idea of Zed being autistic, but that not being something that Kryptonians address. So him coming to Earth meant that he had more resources to examine that in himself. Earth is really harsh on his sensitivity to noise, and he has often resorted to humming to try to block out everything that is overwhelming him (Alex knows the melody to a few Kryptonian lullabies because of this). On the flip side, Earth has been really great for his tactile sensitivity. He was very rules oriented when he was learning Earth customs, and that made him very stiff in the early years, as he was trying to hold onto a very black and white approach to situations. He’s definitely begun to loosen, especially as his awareness of his struggles broadened.

Nia has opened his world up to queer culture. She was the first one to take him to see a drag performance, and his pride in himself really flourished around her. They also have a habit of making casual jokes about swapping parts. Like Zed groaning about his chest, all “I’m so done with these, you want them?” He’s a lot more openly queer around her, rather than trying to ‘pass’ as cis.

Zed is really happy. There are a lot of things he’s needed to work through, and things are still not perfect, but he’s finding more and more in life that makes his heart sing. He’s taking up more space, and allowing himself to thrive, and that has made him a lot more bright.

getting discovery+ so i can watch every episode of chopped you don't know me you don't know my life you don't know my story

See on one hand like. "War never changes" being The Point of Fallout, it makes almost-sense to bring back these factions again and again. An endless perpetuation of violence, and nobody on either side cares about the innocents who get caught between them. And i feel like you COULD make an interesting story out of it.

But otoh, it just gets so damn tired after a while! How many times do we have to defeat the enclave! How many times is the Brotherhood going to be a Big Bad Faction? How many times is nuking something gonna be involved in the plot? It's just. I get it. I really do. These are hallmarks of the series and im not saying to shelve them ans never use them again. Just. Can we use them in different fucking ways. Please. Find literally anything else. Any other faction. It's dire.

Nobody is required to look respectfully at any of my ocs ever. Disrespect them. Ceaseless watcher cast your gaze upon this wretched thing etc etc etc

Cant wait for a wealth of new fallout fans brought in by the show so we can witness wave after wave of the same braindead discourse we've been having for 15 years

Todd has always been so pressed that obsidian made a better game in 18 months than bethesda could in 7 years that instead of just writing a better story, he had to resort to the world's pettiest vengeance
