“That strange woman who looks like a refugee from Haight-Ashbury running around ordering people to move their tents and waving herbs at people.”

“That would be my cousin, Rose Noire,” I said. “And if you’re not fond of the herbs, you might want to avoid drinking any tea she tries to serve you.”

“And that creepy little Goth girl trailing after those destructive little brats like the wicked witch chasing Hansel and Gretel!”

“That’s our babysitter,” I said. “And if the brats are trying to destroy anything and she doesn’t intervene, let Michael or me know and we’ll deal with it.” Sherry seemed unembarrassed at having called my children brats.

“We’re here on an important mission!” she exclaimed. “But how can you expect people to take us seriously when so many of us are complete flakes!” She threw up her hands in dismay.

“Now, now,” Caroline began. But Sherry clearly wasn’t in the mood to be now-nowed. She took a deep breath, smoothed down the sheets of paper on her clipboard, which might have been knocked ever so slightly askew when she threw up her hands, and strode off.

“They also serve who only stand and keep accurate records,” I murmured.

There’d be more than one uppity breeder who’d faint knowing someone is using a gold-horned shortwing for woods work…but any shortwing is happier with a job than stuck in a stall simply looking pretty.

Rating Disney Horse Designs

Cyril Proudbottom (The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad) 2/10 His vacant eyes and grotesque proportions disturb me

The Headless Horseman’s Horse (The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad) 7/10 Stunning. Very dramatic. Powerful look. 

Major (Cinderella) 4/10 Cyril Proudbottom’s more distinguished cousin. 

Samson (Sleeping Beauty)  3/10 There’s something not right about his face. I don’t trust him. 

Captain (One Hundred and One Dalmatians- movie)  5/10 A solid design. Friend shaped. 

Captain (I don’t know- some 101 Dalmatians tv show it looks like)  -30/10 Kill it now before it destroys us all. 

Frou-Frou (Aristocats)  7/10 A perfect genteel lady. Loses points for inconsistency in the animation. 

Philippe (Beauty and the Beast) 8/10 I’d trust this horse with my life

Achilles (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) 6/10 Respectable. Handsome. 

Snowball (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) 10/10 The DRAMA. The expression somewhere between “evil” and “hasn’t slept in 4 days”. The HAIR. Perfection. Exactly the type of horse I’ll ride when I turn evil.

Pegasus (Hercules) 6/10 A fun design, lot’s of personality. But kinda gives off Frat Boy energy. 

Baby Pegasus (Hercules) 11/10 I’d die for him. 

Khan (Mulan)  10/10 Look at those absurd proportions– the tiny legs and the huge barrel chest- amazing. 

Bullseye (Toy Story 2-4)  4/10 Is he cute? yes. But as someone who has owned many toy horses in her life, this is not a toy horse I would be pleased with. 

This Bullseye Toy I found looking for a movie picture of Bullseye -100/10 This thing IS cursed and we will probably all die for having seen it. But I’m taking you all down with me. 

Buck (Home on the Range)  2/10 No matter what picture, no matter what expression, you look at this horse and just KNOW he would be so unpleasant to talk to. 

Blessedly, there is no horse in Chicken Little. 

Destiny (Enchanted)  5/10 This is a Barbie horse and I swear I owned it. 

Maximus (Tangled) 7/10 A good design but too much dogness. 

Angus (Brave) 15/10 Everything that’s good in a horse. 

Sitron (Frozen) 11/10 He deserves so much better than Hans. Look at his kind eyes. This is a horse that will treat you right. This horse is the anti-Hans. 

Nokk (Frozen 2)  20/10 WATER HORSE WATER HORSE WATER HORSE WATER HORSE!

This Horse I Assume Bruno Stole (Encanto) 9/10 He’s only there very briefly and I can’t even find a decent picture but he’s a very nice horse.

Ranking Animated Horse Designs Take 3

This time I really am back by popular demand because the other two posts have been getting a steady trickle of notes for over a year now.

(If you're looking for stuff like Disney and Dreamworks there are two other posts. Here we've got mostly random cartoons and also the Pokemon horses)

Starlite (Rainbow Brite) 6/10 Little weird that he seems to be drawn in a style that's like 3x more realistic than any other character in this show but hey sometimes you just ascend to a higher plane of existence. (2014 Reboot Starlite gets a 3/10. I do not trust him.)

Skydancer (Rainbow Brite) 7/10 I bumped Starlite down a point because he wants what Skydancer has. Skydancer doesn't need rainbows to fly. Skydancer has a lightning bolt. Skydancer has the Drama. (The one wiki page said he's a Shire or a Clydesdale and um I don't think so. Maybe a Friesian.)

On-yx (Rainbow Brite) This is a rocket powered balloon animal. 2/10

Sunriser (Rainbow Brite) 5/10 Eh. I like her hair though.

Swift Wind (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power/ She-Ra Princess of Power)

Right (older version) 8/10 I don't understand the wing physics going on here. Also not sure if the horn is part of the mask or just attached to the mask. Diggin the bib though. Also love that he's a ginger.

Left (new version) 4/10 If the older version wasn't there this would score higher because just as a character design I don't think it's bad but if these are supposed to be the same character he seems so cutesy and I do not vibe with it. I don't know either show. So maybe that works. But it feels wrong.

Amalthea (The Last Unicorn) 9/10 They gave the unicorn the split deer hooves, and the lions tail and that is automatic points from me. Bummed they didn't go all out and give us the goat's beard. Rude. Any distance shot, I love. Close-ups of the face creep me out with the giant doll eyes and tiny nose.

(Pokemon and more below)

Honey Pie Pony (Strawberry Shortcake) 8/10 Adorable. Fantastically chunky design. The others from this... show? book? brand? are like 6s or 5s depending. But Honey Pie has the It factor. (The It Factor here apparently being that recurring pattern of only the main character's horse being able to talk?? This is the third. Swift Wind, Starlite and Honey Pie have dark secrets about how they come by this knowledge).

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic "ponies" Just as characters they're cute in a "trying so hard to be cute that they almost miss the mark entirely" way. But this is about how they are as HORSE designs. And these are magical gremlins not horses. 1/10 (WHAT is happening on the far right of this set. I do not approve. Zebra is fine though).

My Little Pony: A New Generation Like if the MLP: FM ponies and the Trolls characters somehow had children. Somehow the main character of Bee Movie was also involved. The one on the left makes TikTok thirst traps. -2/10

My Little Pony Tales 3/10 I can almost tell they're meant to be horses. Plus that one has a tattoo of a comb. So. Full extra point for the comb tattoo.

Bratz Horses I can't tell if there's an official video game or cartoon design for these but in ANY given version I found the conclusion is the same: if you look into the gigantic distended eye you will be put under the horse's curse. 1/10

Boxer (Animal Farm) 4/10 All horses are equal but some are more equal than others, but Boxer is not one of them because his mouth is not okay.

Marvin (Marvin the Tap Dancing Horse) 5/10 I mean. Dude's got spats. Come on.

Ponyta (Pokemon) 3/5 The armpit and middle thigh flames were a choice.

Rapidash (Pokemon) 8/10 Look at his face. The angst. He has seen things.

Mudsdale (Pokemon) 8/10 The classic mohawk, dreadlocks and legwarmers trifecta. Love it. Would love to hug him.

Galarian Ponyta 3/10 It's giving sheep, and it's giving dog. Very little horse.

Galarian Rapidash (Pokemon) 4/10 He's angry because his hair is too long and he can't walk and also he has not eaten enough somebody feed this horse.

Origin Palkia (Pokemon) 6/10 A built-in hoola-hoop AND thigh high Boots?! what fashion.

Keldeo (Pokemon) 1/10 Clown goat.

Spectrier (Pokemon) 10/10 Beautiful goth girl horse floating around like a Victorian ghost who's too modest to show her ankles.

Mudbray (Pokemon) 5/10 He has passed through the depths of existential dread and returned world-weary but unshakeable and with a snazzy bowl cut.

Glastrier (Pokemon)

20/10 ICE HORSE ICE HORSE ICE HORSE. I love him so much. He's punk rock

The Fat Horse (Looney Tunes) 10/10 Queen.

All I'm saying is if it were shawn and gus investigating the chesapeake ripper they would have figured out it was hannibal within 5 minutes of meeting him because shawn would have been like "ha, that sounds like cannibal!" And then it would click

Have I talked before about how much I love the resolution to the detective test B-plot in Psych 2x11, where Juliet and Lassiter are competing with each other because Juliet scored higher than him on the detective test and then Shawn, without knowing what they’ve been fighting about casually drops that he got a perfect score on the detective exam when he was 15? because I do. 

I love competent Shawn, but the weird thing about Psych is that it revolves around Shawn’s hyper-competence but only Henry and Gus really get to see Shawn’s skills for what they are. And he does still often impress people but with his “psychic” ability and that’s different. Actually, an interesting thing about Shawn in general is that while he brags a LOT, its not usually about his actual impressive traits. Not JUST because of pretending to be psychic either, because when it’s just him and Gus there’s a number of times when he does something incredible and waves it off. For instance, in “Spellingg Bee” he breezes past the fact that he easily knew how to spell the winning word from their flashback spelling bee, or in “Weekend Warriors” he recreates a complicated diagram from memory after only seeing it for a few seconds and when Gus is impressed Shawn acts like its nothing. Shawn also frequently responds to Gus wanting to know how he figured something out as if its tedious to demonstrate his skills, and on occasion puts a lot of faith in Gus being able to replicate what he does. On the flip side Shawn is incredibly comfortable with making himself look like an idiot. 

And when Shawn tells them what his score was, I suppose to you could read it as a calculated brag disguised as “I didn’t know that wasn’t normal”, I read the scene as Shawn genuinely underestimating the magnitude of what he just said and assuming that Juliet and Lassiter would be in a similar level (because he DOES respect them as detectives, even though with Lassiter it’s a deep down begrudging respect). So because he misreads the room the other characters get a rare look at how brilliant he actually is. But because they lack context and so often buy into his clown act, they really don’t know what to do with the information.

Dean's core is a hurt child with a thick shell of bravado, so we figured he'd connect with kids. Then Jensen Ackles made it sing with gruffness and warmth, so we kept doing it. (Eric Kripke, December 21, 2023)

Greek myth fragment: Psyche

Orange—Psyche:

Your gentle hands, warm skin,

The soft bed, luxurious halls—

But to never see you

To live without your face—

I sleep beside you, trust in

Your kindness, the love shared nightly between us—

Long days alone in waiting for dark

To fall. I trust
