do not go gentle into that good night

Pony was still working with Nervara when she was attacked by the bear that took her arm and left her scarred. Though she successfully killed the bear, she wouldn't have been able to do so, or survive afterwards, without Nervara and the rest of the crew helping her. Of course, surviving such a brutal attack was traumatic enough, but the injuries came with their own traumas.

      The scars deeply affected Pony's confidence for years, and still do, though she now accepts them as part of her face. However, loosing her arm was worse, as it destroyed her sense of independence during the healing process. Adapting to life with one arm took a long time, even if she only lost her non-dominant hand. Her fighting style had to change quickly, as previously she would wield a dagger in the left hand, or use it to throw nets on enemies, or to grab rope to climb out of danger with, etc. Reading books and maps also became harder, as most books were too bulky to comfortably holds open in one hand, and maps would roll back up before she could weight the ends down. This is, of course, on top of phantom pain and ongoing stump pain for years after the surgery.

      Independence was everything to Pony before Nervara, and again following freedom from her. Even after the pain began to fade and Pony had adapted to her new life, having felt helpless for so long left a scar. It rubbed salt into the wound, knowing Nervara saved her and cared for her during this time.

      Pony's prosthetic hand changed everything for her. The artefact goes on her arm as a decorative band, meaning there is no risk of rubbing or sores that other prosthetics can cause. Attunement requires several hours of studying and training, but no physiotherapy. However, it cannot be overstated how significantly the limb loss impacted her mental health for years due to Pony's essential need for independence.

“weird and unhealthy relationship that cant be categorized neatly as sexual or romantic or platonic but has a defining air of devotion and obsession to it” wins sound of the summer for the 13th year in a row

Pony is a woman in the way a ship is she/her. A ship has no gender, but that's the standard language, so whatever floats your boat (ehehe)

God masc/butch Pony would go so hard I need to try drawing again just for that 😭

For curumë from @deaddoveadventures

Send in a filled bingo card and I'll answer in character @deaddoveadventures

Eponis is quick to study Curumë as he approaches with the curious piece of paper. She silently reaches out to grab it and have a look. Stern suspicion soon turns into a quiet amusement that pulls on the corner of her lips. Eponis hums. ❝You did better than expected,❞ she says flatly, ❝though you cannot honestly tell me you wouldn't move somewhere nicer than this.❞ Of course, the page does not say nicer, only warmer, but Eponis considers them synonymous. ❝And you do not wish to stargaze? How can one appreciate my company if the stars themselves do not inspire awe? You can even multitask while you do it—❞

      Eponis throws her hands up and leans back in her chest, taking a moment to calm herself. Eyes closed, deep breath. She huffs. ❝Apologies. Your company is...acceptable. Now, am I getting atop the desk or are you going under it?❞

Imagine I did this blog properly. Nice graphics, a pretty-formatted blog intro, etc. There's even a customised music player with some cute Pinterest quote and a fancy psd, except the song is just Pony by Ginuwine.

I know I mentioned a possible (semi)hiatus on my main but I don't think I'll do that here. Muse is low and slow but I do appreciate the chilled out vibes here, so don't feel the urge to disappear into discord until I'm normal again <3

Since we're talking cowboys, Pony gets her name because, yes, it's short for Eponis, but also because her aunt and uncle ran a stable. They would breed and sell horses, as well as run a livery yard to house owned horses. She rode from a young age, and as a teenager, would go on little treks near her home. Sadly, Eponis hasn't ridden since setting out to sea at seventeen. However, she will always remember the skills in riding and caring for the beloved beasts.

I firmly believe in mermaids with their tits out. No shell tops, no scaly tops. Bare chested, maybe some fun little accessories like necklaces or something but let them be topless. They live in the sea you think they’ll have clothes? They’re fish people, they don’t follow human ideals. Let the fish girls have their titties out!!

To cast a simple Produce Flame spell, Pony can use her mage hand to drag a finger along a rough surface as if lighting a match.
