Incurably rare book about goats. For sale, contact me, we can figure something out. Does not exist on any of the many book sites I've tried to search. Prefer Venmo or Cashapp because they don't deadname me forcibly like those PayPal idiots.
Wake up babes, fursona just dropped! Haha but thank's for playing along in my little guess which one is actually my fursona poll game, a nice little chunk of you either remembered me talking about it before or just guessed correctly! It was indeed the angora goat; so here I am, furry edition! (It's kinda fun to see furry art in my style haha, I hope to do more of it one day :) )
What is Elias Ainsworth? We don’t really know, and maybe the series will never resolve that question for us. He seems to be a chimera - not any one thing. I’ve seen fans say that his head is a wolf skull and looking at photos, I think I agree.
Canis dirus skull, from The Fauna of Rancho La Brea (Vol. II), 1911
At different angles, Elias’ face seems to thin out, just like the skull seen below.
But what about Elias’ tongue? What animal does that come from? Wolves don’t have pointed tongues.
And the horns? They are definitely horns, not antlers. Antlers fall out yearly and Elias’ horns seem to be a permanent appendage on his head. (So Elias probably doesn’t belong on deerinhorror, but I’ll keep him anyway.) I’ve heard fans describe them as goat horns. But what kind of goat has horns with a full rotation like this?
When he photographed Robert Rauschenberg in his studio in 1958, Dan Budnik backlit the hell out of one combine—and a stuffed chicken—that does not get seen from that angle. And he included a straight-on shot of another combine, Monogram, that Rauschenberg soon changed dramatically. So this is our only chance to really get a look at it.
I may not have entered anything in the fair this year, but I did check meet all the cool animals. One of my new dreams is to have a flock of Angora goats.
