I always thought it was like an exaggeration when horse people would talk about how silly it was for anyone to think that riding a horse does not require any particular level of skill or balance or anything, or even that they "drive themselves" (???) but just the tags on the reblogs of that "can you ride a bike and/or horse" post from me alone are demonstrating how overconfident some people are in their (often entirely theoretical!) ability to stay on an alive and moving animal with a will of its own.

#just like just sitting on a bike would not be considered riding a bike #I don't consider just sitting on a horse to be riding it #even if the horse can move around while you're just sitting while a bike cannot #I know if I just let our horses drive themselves we would never get anywhere #and in Baby's case probably straight up be dead #but I guess I'm biased I've grown up with horses and ridden them competitively and stuff #anyway laughing at that one reply that's like “If I were drunk the horse could get me home” like okay #but how did you get the horse away from home in the first place

I just....I just learned that there's a word in the English language...for when you run into someone to hug them with all the enthusiasm and strength you have....I learned that it's called glomp.

My God, English has so many words to describe physical intimacy, I'm in love

#apparently became a word in the 1990s I never knew it was a real word and not just a dA thing

Today I saw a sparrow and a crow sitting next to each other on a stone in my driveway.

And I had to think of Bilbo and Thorin.

Am I going mad? 😅🤭

I finally (got help) slapping Wordpress into shape and Runaway to the Stars is now releasing as a public webcomic! Thank you so much for your support over the years, and sticking with me while I'm slowly chewing my way through this book. I'm very excited to share this story! It'll be updating every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday thanks to the massive Patreon backlog. Patreon will continue to update as I finish pages, which happens on a sporadic non-schedule.

If you experience bugs with the site report them to me. Some things may occasionally break, as coding problems tend to be a very "whack-a-mole" affair; and I'm still getting used to the interface.

#!!!! #Go read it it's so good

Imagine going on a cross country trip to share the (mildly embarrassing) news with an adjacent king that your guards lost a prisoner, but when you get there- there’s actually a huge crowd of people who all get called into a massive Super Important Meeting. And the prisoner (who you thought wasn’t like That Big of a deal) gets brought up, and everyone’s talking about how great your kingdoms security is, and how important it is that he’s locked up, and you’re just sitting there sweating buckets. And you have to stand up in front of Everybody and tell them ‘actually he escaped and had been gone for months’. While everyone looks at you with the most disappointed faces you’ve ever seen. What a loser.

And Then you have to go on an even Longer trip with all of these people who’s first impression of you was some cringefail sweaty loser who can’t even keep track of one (1) guy.

No wonder Legolas was showing off every chance he got, he was trying to bring his reputation up from like -100

Made a silly, sketchy refsheet for the donkeyboy. I've needed to solidify his bipedal form for a long time now and here we are, I'm committed (hopefully lol). I liked it being just a kid with donkey ears and wings but the world I've placed him in doesn't have humans so that had to change even though it was cute.

#my art #sketches #my ocs #Diego the donkeyboy #Diego #idk if I've ever actually posted him here but if I have I imagine those are the tags I would have used oop #or maybe just #donkeyboy #because it took a long time to name him
