I just want to take the funny looking foal home. He's like the opposite of those overbred seahorse arabs.
And I'd let him grow a tail. Obviously.

☽About☾
I cannot resist the content creator instinct of doing an introduction post, so bear with me even though the vast woods of Tumblr know nothing of my name.
My name is Rosa - I have spawned on this social media because Twitter is dead and I remember Tumblr as a comfort from my teens - I consider myself a content creator (and have an almost masters to attest for such), semi-relevant in Portugal (TikTok and Instagram). I come to Tumblr not so much to expand my content creation, but more as a place separate from the ones I am used to - at the same time, I want to use this to share the knowledge I share in my portuguese socials.
Things that I am:
A Writer - mostly fantasy and YA (yes I will dump my OCs here);
An Academic - focus on Communication and Literature;
A Non-Binary Lesbian - who studies and writes queer theory;
A Pagan - specifically a lusitanian polytheist (although I ocasionally dip my feet in Greek and Celtic polytheism for reasons you will find out;
A Witch - or Bruxa, if you want to get cultural with it, since I practice portuguese folk witchcraft;
An Illustrator - devotional art with some fandom stuff here and there;
And of course, a Reader of all the things above;
Things that I do:
procastinate publishing my book;
two masters at the same time, because I'm a masochist;
kiss my partner;
rant and theorize about little known Gods in the hopes someone will vibe with them;
rant and retell portuguese myths (mostly the fae ones) in the hopes anyone will recognize that my country is it's own thing with it's own culture (and not bootleg Spain);
draw the Gods over and over again;
fight fascists on the internet (and give them mau-olhado in real life);
If you are interested in Culture, Literature, Folklore, Mythology, LGBTQ+ themes, Writing, Witchcraft - Follow along for the ride of me trying to figure out Tumblr again

This vid is suuuuuper interesting as it explores the simmilarities of Iberian and Basque numbers, and a possible common substrate shared by these languages.
It's in Spanish, sadly, without English subs. However you can watch it even if you can't understand Spanish since Iberian and Basque names are listed so you can check differences and simmilarities by yourself.
