I needed to come up with a quick design of Vyncent's motorcycle for my part of this map- and I immediately drew something way too complicated for me to animate uh oh <3
ok listen horses are fucking insane theyre smart, like dog smart, but they are so soft and lovely yes this is my horse girl moment fight me. HOWEVER they are also MENACES. My aunt's friend was putting away a horse in a barn and when she turned to close the barn door the horse ran up to her and BIT her BACK. Have you ever SEEN horse teeth??? Theyre MASSIVE!!!! And the horse BIT HER omg i cant. Horses just decide to bite every once in a while and it is TERRIFYING how much damage they can do like wtf wtf wtf wtf???? Horses can tell if youre sure of yourself and riding a horse actually helped with my anxiety a few years ago since i was nervous but you cant let the horse know that so you have to both ACT and LOOK not anxious because the horse can literally tell by the tone of you voice, posture, etc, etc, if you dont know what youre doing and will TAKE OVER for you and will REFUSE to listen to your commands. It's like some wild fake it till you make it shit like wtf wtf wtf??? Anyway horses are great and scary and theyre like extreme weather theyre so pretty but if you dont respect them youll get your ass handed to you thank you for coming to my TED talk
I'd like to congratulate Jordan Peele on making an anti-horse girl movie. No, that wild animal will not be magically tamed by your presence and conviction, that is a creature.
thinking about how Hector was "man-killer" to the Greeks, but "horse-breaker" to the Trojans. how it takes tenderness and patience and devotion to get a wild horse to trust you, let alone let you ride it. how hector's life and relationships to others, even the gods, are defined by devotion, and how it wins him both honor and his own death. how hector thinks he can approach achilles like a spooked horse, but achilles is a dog and not only a dog, but a dog that has nothing left. how even the wildest horse has the desire for food and comfort, but hector has never met a horse that wants to die. anyways how's your day going
not to get all "actually☝️" about it but. the whole point of this is the fact that it isn't at all eddie's fault and buck just doesn't know how to properly process or recognize his feelings and know what he's missing *until* he gets presented with a specific situation. in truth buck has no right to be mad at eddie for building bonds with other ppl and it's why he has to do some introspection. this is not a "oh no poor buck eddie apologize to him!!!" thing, it's about buck getting, for lack of a better term, a good emotional humbling. eddie deserves good friendships and relationships, full stop. and if he likes the way he feels when he hangs out with tommy then great!! he's his own person and not a tool to further buck's character. but you also can't expect buck to immediately recognize that because, again, and for the millionth time, the whole POINT is that he doesn't. so if it has to get ugly and uncomfortable and embarrassing for him to do so then that is what will happen and that doesn't make either of them bad people. this is not a blame to be passing around. it's just them being human beings
Going to be thinking about last night's surprise songs for a long time... how you get the girl being an instruction manual on what to do when you screw up a relationship but also the happy vibes when someone gets it right + the albatross being a symbol of dead weight/something to be freed from + white horse being about an apology too late - you can't save me/fix this/you don't know what you've got till it's gone/ I need to leave for myself and then coney island - the slow painful relationship breakdown tinged with shades of other loss and memory, the fracturing of a forever that she wrote with william bowery. like jesus... with every piece of this puzzle, I flinch at the bigger picture
I wanted to challenge myself to actually render a piece a bit more,,,since I tend to avoid it because it takes so long…and alas Remy appeared 🤧💕
As someone who grew up around horses in my childhood I'm gonna be honest and say that a man is instantly 100x more attractive when he knows how to handle a horse.... And Remy is no exception 😩
(Note!! The horse ended up being traced from a stock photo because I kept failing in drawing a believable horse T___T and then in turn edited to fit the perspective, and my style and such and then rendered alongside everything else! 💕)
