i think there's horse sexism in the kentucky derby . field of twenty horses, right? plus a couple more runners-up that can swap in if somebody has to drop out . not a single filly in the lineup. which obviously doesn't mean i think that like ... the HORSES are sexist . but i imagine that in a field where most of the top trainers are men themselves, there's more of a focus on training the colts that come across their paths, and perhaps even more colts being selected to be trained towards these big races in the first place . a horse is a horse is a horse, they all go fast, but there's probably an unconscious bias from breeders, trainers, owners, etc that prevents the field from being more diversified

Thinking about a butch husband who wakes up early to go to the gym, kissing me on the forehead after placing a cup of tea on the bedside table and telling me that he's made my lunch for work and it's in the fridge. Going downstairs later on to find a little bento box filled with my favourite food, and a little note saying how much he loves me.

i have the most autistic cat on the planet. hes extra sensitive to certain sounds (refused to wear his collar until i took the bell off of it). he stims (slides the fleshy part of his paws down the surface of the posters on my wall to hear and feel them make that weird squeaky noise). he never meows like literally ever. he likes being petted but Only when hes standing on a surface that puts him at an equal height with me. he has a favorite plastic bin on the windowsill that he sleeps in like every afternoon and i dont know what he would do if i moved it. truly the Autism Creature

For the Artist Ask thing! (o•ᴗ•o)ノ♡
(5. What’s your favourite thing to draw?
(18. What are you currently trying to improve on?
(21. Do you like to challenge yourself?
YAAAY hi ily
5. Right now its Imra Ardeen from legion of superheroes. I love the way my design for her looks, and it is so, so much fun to draw. SO pink.
18. Currently I'm just trying to get good at digital art in general. I have never been very good at it and now i'm just trying to figure out how everything works. Its so different from the traditional art i am used to. More specifically though, I'm trying to improve on shading skin.
21. I love to challenge myself. It's honestly the only way I improve

💞 and 🎈?
Thanks for the ask, friend! These two questions are a mind-shaker for sure.
💞what’s the most important part of a story for you?
I always chase after feelings, if that makes sense. I grew up reading poetry and short stories and watching theatrical plays. So words and gestures in the service of feelings are important to me. This can obviously be achieved via dialogue, descriptions of spaces, characterization, etc. But usually, I strive for a singular feeling while writing (even if I consciously cannot point to it) and quite enjoy looking for it in other people's writing.
🎈describe your style as a writer; is it fixed? does it change?
I should probably think more on this, but I'll give it a shot.
We return to the theme of poetry - because my writing truly feels that way. 99% of the time, I have a moment (or a sentence, an image, a look) that I'd like to achieve and then build my entire fic around it.
I'm a fan of economic writing, keeping things short and precise where possible and maximizing on characterization, plot and emotional impact. I love to play with obscure canonical details and latch on to them for dear life, even if the reader doesn't notice them at all.
As far as mood is concerned, I think it's no surprise that I highly enjoy pure angst, moral ambiguity, reconciliations and coming together between friends or lovers, relationships that are difficult to classify, moments that transcend time and setting, and hard-core epic hero stuff 😄
