How To Horse Tumblr

Today's Inner conflict: I want to relentlessly lore-dump to people on the internet but don't know if I have the artistic ability or consistent enough output to start an ask-blog.

I just really need to find a way to get my silly horse-puns out into the world.

Fanfiction?

I’ve been considering adapting the text-based RPG adventure I’ve been doing with my partner where Azure and the other horses I've drawn here into a proper "fanfiction" for a while, complete with cleaning things up for consistency and snazzing up the language a bit.

But there’s still a few things I don’t really know for certain. Would it be better to keep the script-style dialogue tags and lean into that as a format, or do I need to put in the hours to adapt it to more literary “he said, she exclaimed”?

Would it be better to be honest and include uncomfortable and not entirely safe for work implications in it from the outset, or should those bits be separated as optional content in side stories?

I suppose I’m really just looking for advice on how to get the full story out there without alienating the few people that might be following along with it already.

I've tried so hard working on a silly thing with my SO to make something unrecognizable to that silly, uninspired school. Houses? Yeah they have them because the idea is rooted in real practices but they're undermined almost immediately and became totally irrelevant to any story beats. Magic system? Explored by a protagonist who's actually curious about how it works. Why would you not also be teaching classes like math and literature just because magic is part of the curriculum? Why should you have death-traps and bury ancient valuables in a place of learning?

Also it allows trans students so, you know, incompatible with that work on principle

if you are a millennial in the medium of storytelling and you are making a magical school setting, there is going to be a little worm in your brain that is telling you take make harry potter references. what you need to do is gently coax that worm out with treats and then smash it to death with a hammer and do literally anything else.

Back to Raster art. Azure might only be able to reach her through dreams, but she's already grown quickly attached. Even if she knows she can just wait a year, that's far too long a time and she'll do anything to get Luna back early - Nightmare Spirit or not. She'll pull her family back together yet...

A stupid inside joke from the Old World Blues mod discord (I'm a developer for that by the way!) since the flag from the last post looked vaguely like an Enclave E. Azure Star is not associated with the Enclave in any way, she doesn't even exist in a universe with a version of them! But she might steal their stuff if given the opportunity, just for funsies

Old account, new at engagement

How do you get started with actually interacting with people on this website, aside from just looking at other people's posts?

I felt really stupid earlier this semester for dropping out of pre-calc two weeks in, like I was crazy because the "review" section made me doubt that I had ever learned math right in the first place. Found out today from a former classmate that their current class average is "failing", so guess my instincts called it right after all.

Autistic headcanons: Fluttershy (My Little Pony)

“Sometimes we all just need to be shown a little kindness.”

Part one of four (in theory) of a thing inspired by @zoeyhorse 's big eyed style and silly humor. Honestly not 100% confident of how things came out so apologies if it's a poor showing of the style.

Manually drawing text on a touchpad is awful, honestly I know I should make proper fancy reference sheets for all the students, funfacts and all, but these will at least get them all out there in some capacity. At least enough to maybe inspire an ask or two!

Not exactly a great artist, but I'm trying my hand at it. First upload to Tumblr
