The brotherly moments are what I’m looking forward to the most for the sequel. I’m hoping we can potentially get a scene that will top the reunion scene. Are there certain kinds of brotherly love moments you’d like to see in the sequel?
Big same. What I'm most looking forward to is all the little subtle shows of affection: headlocks, side hugs, cap tugs, belly pokes, shoulder nudges, jabs, jostles... all the bits of body language that made their relationship feel so close and real in the first movie. And of course, the return of that silly little secret handshake.
Another thing I want to see is more of Mario's protectiveness. I know some are hoping that he gets a little overprotective after being separated from his bro in the first movie, but if we don't get that I want to at least see Mario's pre-adventure protectiveness.
Or the kind of protectiveness he exhibited in the Super Mario Adventures comics, where even though he's focused on the fight he always keeps an eye on his brother, and the moment Luigi calls out for help he immediately becomes first priority.
On the flip side, I want to see more of Luigi being the emotional support/voice of reason. He may be a ball of nerves in moments of peril, but he's proven to be very levelheaded overall. Since I picture the arc of the sequel being Mario slowly coming to embrace the role of a true hero– with all the responsibilities that come with it– it'd be nice if he had a low moment of feeling like a failure that Luigi talks him out of.
Now, if they're going to try and top the reunion scene in the first movie, there is one surefire way to do that: slow down. As good as that hug was, there was so much going on that it was hard to feel the full impact on the first watch. Quiet things down for a moment... pump the breaks... focus in on the facial expressions... let us really feel the hug. Throw in another forehead touch while you're at it.
But you know what I'm really really excited to see? Sword and shield fight dynamic. I desperately want to see them fighting side-by-side without the superstar! Give me Mario spearheading the charge while Luigi watches his blindside! Mario throwing himself mindlessly into a dangerous stunt so long as Luigi is there to catch him, Mario fighting in close combat while Luigi draws the target's attention with long-range attacks, both of them falling into perfect synch when they need to deliver an extra-powerful blow.
I am so aggressively obsessed with the idea of their character traits being fully exhibited and explored through the way they approach a fight, you have no idea.
#In the first movie Mario's low points were either immediately solved or turned into comedy beats#which leaves room for the sequel to have an ACTUAL low point for him with serious emotional weight#but I'd say there's only a 50% chance of that happening. They seem intent on keeping things as lighthearted as possible#but I guess that's what fanfic is for#so I'm piling all my bets onto some really reeeaaally good action scenes with both the brothers involved#mario movie#super mario bros#the super mario bros#Luigi#Mario#Mario movie 2#askbox#anon

Y'all I am so scared. This could either be great or an absolute dumpster fire of a movie. Why live-action? No seriously why live-action??? For Zelda, the games that are so wonderfully cartooney even at their most serious? Why is Avi Arad producing a Zelda movie? His mixed bag of movies aside I DON'T THINK HES DONE FANTASY??? Like correct me if I'm wrong but I believe its mostly sci-fi, superheroes and stuff.
I know I'll enjoy it regardless, trashy movies are my jam. But if we want more it can't flop like 1993 mario(love that movie) and thats the bit thats got me nervous.
I'm gonna anxiously hold out hope solely becuase the tweet opened up with "This is Miyamoto." Just DON'T do BOTW/TOTK. I know you want to pick the cash cow Nintendo, but video game movies are WAY more likely to flop if you pick the one where everyone would rather just play the game. The bigger the fanbase the worse the odds get, so I am begging you not to come out of the gates with an adaptation of the ones where everyone and their mother has played it.
#Im not exaggerating about botw#My actual mother who can probably count the video games shes played on her hands was reading sidonxlink fanfic#It is the only zelda game my little sister has completed#anyone remember all the complaints about the castlevania show?#no?#oh yeah because most of the people watching werent fans of the game#the complaints were there#seriously dont pick botw/totk nintendo#youd have infinitley better luck with oot#I know Im gonna love this movie regardless#Im going opening week in cosplay#I just really want it to actually be good ya know?#Quick art comments#I love that crappy zelda show#captian n and the super mario super show was my jam#I will take the excuse to draw that zelda#anyways long post and tag ramble over#the legend of zelda#loz#zelda#princess zelda#zelda movie

I was trying to find some angsty Kris-focused deltarune fanfics on AO3 right?
So explain to me why more than 3/4ths of them all had a tag called, and I shit you not, “Male Kris”. Excuse me. What. Hello???
they’re a non-binary, androgynous human that uses they/them why are you writing an entire story where you make them a male that uses he/him
not to mention all of these fics were actually really well written based on the small snippets of them that I read, but seriously is it THAT HARD to atleast respect the pronouns they use?? You could change the ‘he/him’ to ‘they/them’ and it would be like the perfect angsty fanfic
and it’s not just a homophobia thing because they would let other LGBTQ characters stay the same (like Noelle being lesbian), and a few that included the Vessel let them have they/them, so why can’t Kris use they/them???
#ohmygod and when I’d make it exclude the ‘male Kris’ tag IT WOULD STILL SHOW ME FANFICS WHERE KRIS WAS REFERED TO WITH HE/HIM#it was making me so insanely angry#all the fics that DID respect their pronouns were super short too :(#there’s one really good one tho#it’s called ‘snowsavior’ it has like 94k words as of posting this#all the characters are really accurate imo and it has a crazy good plot line too#go read it#OH also guys if you have fic reccomendations please give me them#I’m starving for deltarune content rn#I love ones with undertale crossovers too#ok rant over#kris dreemurr#deltarune#ouuuuuuugh kris i love you sm platonically <3333

absolute DEARTH of dungeon meshi fanfics on ao3. in many ways but particularly gen fics that are over 2000 words and focused on adventure, magical shenanigans, fluff/angst, or some combination of those
#pickle pontificates#dungeon meshi#''write them yourself'' first of all i can barely write my homework rn and I've always been bad at ideas#second of all I'm not getting on anyone's case I'm just complaining#I've been blessed to have been in a few fandoms with a couple prolific/consistent writers that seem to dedicate all their spare time#to that exact genre of fic#and i am very grateful to those people#I'm just going to wait patiently. that stuff takes time and dm is still gaining popularity#i just know the girlies who were super into writing platonic angst for fma/mp100/and a few for bnha and httyd would be ALL OVER this manga#if they knew#like#there's SO MUCH idea fuel out there from all kinds of RPGs that would be really fun to work in and explore#PLUS the wealth of extra content Ms. Kui has provided in adventurers bible/daydream hour???#IT'S A PLAYGROUND FOR FANFIC. REALLY GOOD FANFIC

Lumity is very cute but it seems like the kind of ship that would have a fandom so toxic it'd make you dislike the ship in time and I think that's sad.
#possibly because it's so ''pure'' like#the spiciest thing that happened between them was Amity being rude for like 1/3 of s1 maybe?#and a lot of baby puritans online like to cling to these ''unproblematic'' ships to feel super morally superior and whatnot#tbh while watching toh I was thinking ''mmmm how could a fanfic make lumity MORE dramatic? what situations could make them WORSE''#my conclussion is that more internalized homophobia would really make it shine#for me specifically. to appeal to my own personal tastes#tbh the lack of conflict became a bit boring after a while like there were times i wanted amity to throw luz out the window#that girl is a compulsive liar she can't ever say things straight even when there's no reason to lie 😭 and i love flawed characters#and i understand amity being tremendously loving and forgiving and understanding is a valid character trait#but like girl 😭 not even one fight? i wouldn't have that patience 😭😭😭 sometimes fights are good#i see so many people celebrating it's ''healthiness'' (if that's a word) and i just feel like. is that what appeals to you?#is that what you find fun and exciting? is that what keeps you at the edge of your seat?#personally i need amity to get psychologically abused by her mom soooo bad it destroys her relationship with luz. like with willow but worse#MORE misunderstandings MORE heartbreak MORE abuse MORE drama#and if you could add some self-loathing and SHAME there it'd be beautiful#i'm not talking about the show. the show is fine. i'm talking about the fanfic i'm gonna spend the next two hours looking for on ao3#btw this is just me talking about my personal tastes and everyone is allowed to like whatever they like. if you like less drama that's cool#like i don't know you and my opinions on your tastes are actually zero

as a guy that loves getting into obscure media that like. maybe 5 people talk about now. it is interesting the difference between consuming media that is SUPER popular and everyone loves your fave (a curse i would never wish upon anyone. the posts will never be good) and a media that like. there is NO ONE actively posting about. it has barely any fan presence online. and honestly its kind of peaceful
#twist rambles#like. being into the wit/cher books and games and show (the good one. the hexer) was a hellish experience. there was such isnane shipping o#that old man everywhere. there were 5 million bad takes. there were ibs whump fics (which is a plus. more of those should exist).#and it was just like. 50 million incorrect characterizations of my faves. it made me a bit insane. but then irt vol/foss and gan/gsta#its like. peaceful silence. like gan/gsta actually well. has like a minor audience i just have a lot of the tag blocked bc racism is insane#esp when ur like wow ^-^ would love if this complexly written black character was treated half as nicely as the popular guy in that media.#it does not happen. but w vol/foss. there is NOTHING on ao3 (good for me due to loving to torture myself and friends w bad fanfic) and mayb#five posters in the tumblr tag. like NO ONE is really actively playing this that ik of. even on the jp side there hasnt been a ton of#interest for A DECADE. but its weirdly peaceful other than i CANNOT talk to anyone whos played it and go insane over how well its written#its so dire that ive contemplated emailing the person who made a rly helpful fansite back in. 2004 or earlier. and being like hi. thank you#nearly 20 years later lmao. like im glad both of those medias arent super popular BUT it does mean i rly have to make all the content for i#or pester chris for 5 million hours as im in the vol/foss agony mines. but all of that to be said. popular media is such a hellhole for fan#content most of the time. so its been weirdly nice to just be peacefully vibing. even w f/e im still on shadow dragon so its VERY like ok i#care abt this old man that everyone else doesnt like so i can just. peacefully exist.

anyway i need to hang out with my brother again he is the one person who i am pretty sure knows literally everything about me so he's the only person i trust that i can absolutely not disappoint. nothing i can do could be worse than the sum of everything i've been doing to that poor man (and him to me) the past 19 years
#especially now that im back into literally the only interest we actually share on a deep enough level to enjoy it together LOL#i mean we were also both into hannibal but thats just not an enjoyable show to watch together its too much effort#but wow that time we read das boot slash fanfic on the bus together that was awesome#and the time we wrote fanfic together lol LITERALLY WHY DID WE STOP#he has only gotten cooler and more comfortable with his gayness since then we need to write fanfic again ‼️#anyway i feel sorry for every person in my life but i dont think anyone ill ever know could ever have as close a relationship to me as him#were platonic soulmates lol but like not in the spiritual sense bc its pretty obvious that its not some supernatural bond#its juuuust shared trauma haha and the fact that our trauma is so complex and layered that only we will ever truly understand each other#there has been a really rough patch where we practically did not talk for 4... 5? whole years im serious. maybe on the weekends sometimes#while we were stewing in our own shit. but now were inseperable i think it actually pisses off the rest of our family because every time#theres some event where we meet again (we live like 5 hours apart) we only hang around for like an hour before we get in his car#and drive somewhere and hang out there for the rest of the day and night and only return at like 3am drunk#in a sense i guess were catching up on all the missed time#to be honest we both had some horrible shit going on in our heads me with the transgenderism and toxic relationship#him with his anger issues and (what he calls) psychopathy. like ill say this much he was not a good person as a child he was a devil#he was quite literally what some describe as born evil like u know those satans spawns kids that cut off babys fingers and dissect rabbits#all that yk. and i was his first and most frequent victim due to availability lol and my parents did not know any of it and if they did#they ignored it. so yeah u can imagine the relationship was a little strained and for a long time i lived in fear of him#also due to all the death threats and attempts on my life HAHA its kinda funny because i can say all this all detached now#but i think to anyone else this sounds mad as hell. like im not talking roughhousing or being mad at each other#he was always scarily calm and hyperintelligent he was actually diagnosed with some form of like super high intelligence that#makes kids capable of being really manipulative and thats what he used at every turn. everything was always calculated that was scary#if he was nice to me i would question if he was trying to lure me somewhere to hurt me yk?#anyway. sometimes those old thoughts come back when were hanging out alone but mostly i know hes changed and worked on himself#sorry oversharing oh wow

Hello there! So, I've been trying to evolve as a writer this year (debatable), which means I've started writing smut. Trying to write it, anyway. It's been... difficult, but very fun and I do hope I'll get to share some of my ideas on Ao3 soon. (Love how I'm saying this as if I've not talked about and shared snippets of my VP somno fic multiple times lol.) In the meantime, I'd like to ask anyone who might be interested to send me smut prompts about VegasPete in particular, because these are the two babies I'd love to experiment on when it comes to smut. My followers have probably seen what my likes and dislikes are in regards to my smut preferences, but don't think about it too much. You can send me anything you would like to read, and if it's something I feel uncomfortable tackling, I'll just say so. Thank you ❤️
#super nervous about doing this heh#trying to battle my insecurities one post at a time#the previous prompts I received were so so good so I'm curious about what people might decide to send me this time#can't wait to find out ❤️#fanfic writing

been desperately craving to go back to my bookworm days and, this time, delve into the world of monster romance novels
#i havent been super super bookworm mode since i was in elementary school#i would spend hours in my favorite green armchair in my room#knees tucked underneath myself so much and so often that i permanently warped the chair#don’t get me wrong - i read fanfic almost all the time#ive been reading a prologue fic of a tiktok series im really invested in#and its so well written and pulls such deep emotion out of me that it makes me miss my reading days#tbf tho that could’ve been autism bc I distinctly remember starting a book and finishing it within a day#books were my escape. i had no friends. i wasnt allowed to have friends (more or less)#i couldnt go to anyones house. i had to stay home and do my homework and watch my brothers from a very cery young age#so what else could i do but read my books? read my brothers’ books? steal my mom’s books?#i ended up reading everything in the house#i got so bored and understimulated that i started reading all the mail on the counter#my mom had to start hiding it bc i was so nosy#where the mint grows#i just miss those afternoons spent reading where i feel So Many Emotions inside and time feels like jelly#update I understand why this fic hurts so good - its bc its hitting me right in the mommy issues#thanks! i hate it.

4, 8, 13, and 32 for the writing meme pls! :DD
this is from the weird questions for writers list!
4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral? i like words that are kind of oddly spelled - hymn, myriad, idyll (hence my username). For a verb, coalesce.
but as for feral in a negative way? it's souvenir. i can never for my life spell it correctly, i always put in extra vowels. Spell check has to save me (as it just did!).
8. If you had to write an entire story without either action or dialogue, which would you choose and how would it go? oooooo story without dialogue is probably easier because i already write so. much. exposition as it is. it'll be interesting to go without putting in any dialogue, but there are ways for characters to communicate or express themselves without active dialogue, so i can probably figure it out.
i write dialogue-only snippets when i'm outlining fics and I always get the urge to fill in the blanks with descriptions of actions and so on. a dialogue-only fic for me will not want to stay dialogue-only upon edits haha.
13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy? haha! explicit sexual content! i can read it and plot it just fine, but when it comes to writing the minutiae of it i will combust. It's just easier for me to cut off/fade to black and leave the fic at a mature rating.
not necessarily easy, but i guess pining/longing/nostalgia? i've moved countries a lot when i was younger and it always feels like i'm missing someone or longing for something, and so when I write that kind of content it's easy for me to access my own feelings and channel that into my characters. It's a sort of bittersweetness where the sweetness is your feelings for the person/place/time but bitter because you're apart from whatever it is you're missing, and I like exploring that dichotomy.
32. What is a line from a poem/novel/fanfic etc that you return to from time and time again? How did you find it? What does it mean to you? @derpinathebrave asked the same question so i'll tackle a poem/novel example here and a fanfic one for them!
the last two lines of Clementine von Radics' poem, "Mouthful of Forevers" really stuck with me. I encountered this poem through a Sam/Lucifer SPN fic, How To Fall; the author included poems/excerpts from songs/prose at the beginning of every chapter. The fic has such a visceral depiction of Lucifer's motivations and this poem was just incredibly apt for that point of the fic, as well as being a beautiful work in its own right. Here is the last stanza of the poem:
I know sometimes It's still hard to let me see you In all your cracked perfection, But please know: Whether it's the days you burn More brilliant than the sun Or the nights you collapse into my lap Your body broken into a thousand questions. You are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I will love you when you are a still day. I will love you when you are a hurricane.
A line from a novel - definitely this one from Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings series: the Fool's "And I set no limits on that love." It's a recurring line in the series (iirc) as the Fool tries to explain his love to Fitz, and Fitz constantly struggles with understanding/coming to terms with it. I think us fans tend to have mixed feelings about how the Fool and Fitz's relationship is depicted in the series, but that passage where Fitz skill-links with the Fool and experiences the Fool's love for him is just so profound. The Fool's love defies boundaries - it is not romantic or sexual or even platonic, it just is. He loves Fitz, and his love is limitless. I remember reading this book in high school and finding out a friend read it too, and the first thing we both said to each other? "I set no limits on that love." Even though there were (at the time) nine whole books in the series, out of thousands of other lines this one resonated with us the most.
That entire passage is just incredible so I'm gonna stick it under this read more.
"Would you have more than this?" The Fool's voice was less than a whisper. I discerned a challenge in his words, but could not understand it.
"Yes, please. Try," I bade him.
Beside me at the table, I was aware of the Fool making some small movement but my vision was unfocused on the room and I had no warning of his intentions until his hand settled on my wrist. His fingertips unerringly found their own faded gray fingerprints, left on my flesh so many years ago. His touch was gentle, but the sensation was an arrow in my heart. I physically spasmed, a speared fish, and then froze. The Fool ran through my veins, hot as liquor, cold as ice. For a flashing instant, we shared physical awareness. The intensity of it went beyond any joining I'd ever experienced. It was more intimate than a kiss and deeper than a knife thrust, beyond a Skill-link and beyond sexual coupling, even beyond my Wit-bond with Nighteyes. It was not a sharing, it was a becoming. Neither pain nor pleasure could encompass it. Worse, I felt myself turning and opening to it, as if it were my lover's mouth upon mine, yet I did not know if I would devour or be devoured. In another heartbeat, we would be one another, know one another more perfectly than two separate beings ever should.
[…]
Just as I opened my eyes, the Fool's thought uncurled in my mind like a leaf opening to sunlight.
And I set no limits on that love.
#*#replies#qserasera#ayeeee thank you for all the questions! these were super fun#also i just realized that i don't mind first person when it comes to original prose#i just find it difficult to read when it comes to fanfic i guess because we've already come to know the characters through another medium#and it's weird to suddenly get beamed to first person/directly in their perspective?#whereas if you're meeting a character completely brand new (ala~ original fiction) then first person is just like the character telling#a story to you and using -i- to do that#anyway that was a random observation but cool to figure out!#btw did you reblog the questions list i will drop questions to you if you did!#i can barely keep up with tumblr RL is still chaos but ilu i hope you're doing good!#writing#long post

I've noticed more published original fiction authors doing this in their books too. I've already informed my team that I plan on putting author's notes in my books, and I've also spoken to my agent about including notes in my submissions even to editors. Unfortunately, the default mindset of readers has become "do I like this?" rather than "what is this attempting to accomplish?" or "does this accomplish something of value even if it isn't what I would set out to do?" so there's this pressure on authors to literally tell the reader what to look for or be held to completely nonsensical standards based on projects of completely different genres with entirely different goals and values.
I used to work for a trade book reviewer where I got payed to review people's books, and one of the rules of that review company is one that I think is just super useful to media analysis as a whole, and that is, we were told never to critique media for what it didn't do but only for what it did.
So, for instance, I couldn't say "this book didn't give its characters strong agency or goals". I instead had to say, "the characters in this book acted in ways that often felt misaligned with their characterization as if they were being pulled by the plot."
I think this is really important because a lot of "critiques" people give, if subverted to address what the book does instead of what it doesn't do, actually read pretty nonsensical. For instance, "none of the characters were unique" becomes "all of the characters read like other characters that exist in other media", which like... okay? That's not really a critique. It's just how fiction works. Or "none of the characters were likeable" becomes "all of the characters, at some point or another, did things that I found disagreeable or annoying" which is literally how every book works?
It also keeps you from holding a book to a standard it never sought to meet. "The world building in this book simply wasn't complex enough" becomes "The world building in this book was very simple", which, yes, good, that can actually be a good thing. Many books aspire to this. It's not actually a negative critique. Or "The stakes weren't very high and the climax didn't really offer any major plot twists or turns" becomes "The stakes were low and and the ending was quite predictable", which, if this is a cute romcom is exactly what I'm looking for.
Not to mention, I think this really helps to deconstruct a lot of the biases we carry into fiction. Characters not having strong agency isn't inherently bad. Characters who react to their surroundings can make a good story, so saying "the characters didn't have enough agency" is kind of weak, but when you flip it to say "the characters acted misaligned from their characterization" we can now see that the *real* problem here isn't that they lacked agency but that this lack of agency is inconsistent with the type of character that they are. a character this strong-willed *should* have more agency even if a weak-willed character might not.
So it's just a really simple way of framing the way I critique books that I think has really helped to show the difference between "this book is bad" and "this book didn't meet my personal preferences", but also, as someone talking about books, I think it helps give other people a clearer idea of what the book actually looks like so they can decide for themselves if it's worth their time.
#I think authors notes can be super cool especially in fanfic or other community spaces#but there's a time and place for everything and i don't think they should be a necessity#a good story should be one readers can parse the intentions of without the author breaking the fourth wall#but i think most readers don't even *try* to do this anymore#both because they were never taught media literacy but also because they don't care#they think the point of fiction is entertainment so if they aren't entertained the story failed#but fiction has a plethora of uses and even entertainment is subjective#media literacy#media analysis

You ever just come across the spruce material for a fandom you were in ages ago and just have such a fond nostalgia for it? Like "omg I remember losing my fucking shit over that when that episode/chapter/book/season/update came out". And then going to see if the fandom is still alive cause said source material is old, you left the fandom like four years ago, and the source material hasn't received an update in ages and it's still active and you're like "Yo people still live here?"
#came across a thomas sanders short today and remembered my sanders sides phase#which was my intro to tumblr reading and writing fanfic and just fandom in general#i used to run a super popular fandom blog for it too back in the day#that feels weird to say#but i was there from like 2018-2020#so middle school for me#and i graduate high school next year#so all of time and space has been kinda funky for me lately#i think im gonna rewatch the whole seires for shits and giggles and nostalgas sake#i miss my moots from then tho#they were good friends#lol sorry for the rant#fandom#fandom things#fandom culture

Hi hi. So I take the term equestrian quite loosely for myself because I live in a town and am not rich I’ve never had the chance to actually have my own horse. But I’ve been riding horses since I was like 4. My cousin owns a stables that is a couple of hours away from me so that was my introduction to riding.
I don’t compete due to the lack of my own horse but I practice English style riding with show and cross country jumping styles. I’ve also dabbled a little in western riding.
Even though none of them are actually mine bc I rode and helped out at one stables for such a long time it definitely felt like some of them were. Especially there’s this one mare Daisy who is a proper little asshole. She will bite and kick and buck and barely even moves for the lesson kids. But I hopped up on her when I was a kid and we just connected. She was like a different horse altogether.
Anyway I am very much so rambling and I had one other thing to say to you which is and the medicine vinyl. Ik you said it reminds you of the colour of US pill bottles and I find that so interesting bc originally it was made to be the colour of h.
Anyway yeah btw also I am LOVING the daily prompts! Hope ur having a nice day :)
-♥️
Hey! Doesn't matter if you own a horse, or how often you ride! If you've taken lessons you're an equestrian in my book! That's so cool that your cousin owns a stable!
But damn you are much braver than me! I do NOT have the nerve to ever go cross country schooling omg I love watching it but the jumps are so solid? I also prefer English style riding (show jumpers unite!) but Pop is a jack of all trades (re: I get an idea and he is forced to go along with it lol) and we've done a little bit of everything - jumping is what we both like best though. He's a little peanut of a QH that I never had any intentions of buying but is the absolute love of my life, and as a QH I'm so lucky he is so versatile and is game to do a little bit of everything, English and Western, as long as he doesn't have to go through any kind of water including puddles 😂
It's always so special when you meet a horse that you just ~vibe~ with and it's like oh you're my guy/gal. Daisy sounds like such a mare lol was she chestnut as well by chance? I know that they say once you become a mares person they will literally do anything for you.
I also used to have a chestnut Oldenburg mare that I did more upper level show jumping with but that ended in absolute flames and I sold her about a year ago (I'm not sure if I hated her more, or she hated me more by the end lol) 💀 I hope I can one day get another upper level horse especially with Pop getting older but currently I am still terrified to get on any horse that isn't him 😂 Also I am so sorry for rambling on about this I get so excited talking about horses 😬
Oooo you're so right! I'm not a vinyl person (I literally only bought the neon orange Medicine vinyl because i have a weird attachment to the song now after the A&E fic and wanted to frame the sleeve and hang it with all my other 1975 stuff) and completely forgot that was a thing... I feel like that makes it even more poetic that it's the color of medicine/pill bottles in the US now? Even though it probably wasn't on purpose? I have decided that I am going to read into the symbolism and pretend it was on purpose even though I fully made it up (Hey DH - you can steal my idea though and pretend it was on purpose if you want though!)
Thank you so much for following along with the daily prompts! It's been such a fun little exercise and I've really enjoyed working on them! I didn't expect anyone to even read them, and was only posting to hold myself accountable so to find out that other people are enjoying them as well is so special and cool!
Thank you so much for reading, your support and sending in these asks! I apologize for writing little rambling novels in response, just like horses man! They're the BEST!

#allylikethecat#ask ally#anon ask#fanfiction#keep it kind#matty fic#gatty#fanfic#All The King's Horses#ok so the mare and i were really good to start#but we had a wreck about a year and a half ago that was pretty gnarly#and physically we were both mostly okay (she was fine i was half purple with bruises but i didnt break anything)#but like emotionally we never got over it and things kinda fell apart and my trainer was like we'll give it six months#and if it doesn't get better we can sell her and you can focus on Pop again until we find something else#jokes on her im terrified of riding horses that arent pop now#i sat on my friends super sweet schoolmaster that i've known forever and ridden before#just trotted her around and i thought i was going to die#so anyway it is just Pop and I against the world these days lol#and will probably continue to be that way for a long while longer#i love him so much though#sometimes i'll just be sitting there and start crying because i love him so much#and i like to think he loves me too#in whatever way horses are capable of love#regardless he is my GUY
