There are many Venti fans that believe he will receive a second part to his story quest when Dornman Port releases and while I understand that, plus understand the need for him to have a second story quest, I believe it does a great disservice to him when there is already content in the game, with specifically Mondstadt, that has not been expanded on in any way, shape or form that could have already been used as potential grounds for a second story quest.

Another argument is that Venti is only "end game content" as in he will only be relevant when the Traveler reaches Khaenri'ah to learn the truth about what happened during the Cataclysm, and yes, that could be the case but it would be detrimental if hoyo was to wait that long not only for him, but for the other Archons as well.

You'll remember that the game is pushing the narrative to us, the players, that the Archons are directly responsible for the Cataclysm and are only showing us Khaenri'ah's side of the story. There's even a red herring that the Traveler seeks to ask specifically Venti and Zhongli about the fall of Khaenri'ah while in the same breath, talks about the battles the Archon faced to defend their nations and the wounds that still linger 500 years later, but no Archon directly tells the Traveler their side of the story, the Traveler has not went back to previous nations to ask, which leads to so many unanswered questions.

I'd like to go back first and explain why I do not think Venti's second story quest will release with Dornman Port (and if it does, it'll be a miracle and I'll come back to this) and it is because it seems too trivial to release an important part of an Archon's story with a small area, especially a port. That, and the current trend with Archons' story quests (save Furina) is that they have a boss, and vital pieces of information are found out before that boss is fought. There's the argument that Andrius and Dvalin are the two bosses already (Andrius was the "second world boss for Mondstadt" already) and it's unlikely that there would be a third Mondstadt boss, but why would that be? Mondstadt is the first nation we visit. Perhaps later trends in how story quests and it's related bosses work came after.

Don't get me wrong, I would love a Mondstadt expansion, but I doubt a Dornman Port release would answer all of the many other plotpoints unexplored as well as other questions that remain unsolved. I'm sure we'd get a nice World Quest, as these new World Quests are very good, or subtle lore drops like the random release of Perinheri, but that's about it and after that we would all be left disappointed.

I've already went over potential plotpoints that would be far better, such as why Durin's heart still beats at Dragonspine, why the Abyss Order was/is mostly active at Mondstadt, the presence of Istaroth, why hoyo is literally doing nothing with Albedo (to be fair, a lore drop for Albedo could just be behind a second story quest for him which he deserves), and Grand Master Varka's expedition, plus so, so much more including the Mare Jivari (which is what I speculate will be important when Natlan releases) and even Old Mondstadt. All of which could have been already explored in a second story quest for Venti, but we're left having to speculate when it will release.

joining the bridgerton discourse late to say that people are extremely overly harsh on penelope in a way they are not with other white characters and it's 500% fatphobia does not matter if nicola coughlan is technically plus size or not she is next to actresses with a bmi of 18 and she actually has a double chin

sure sometimes her decisions were questionable but tbh the only thing she actually did that was "wrong" was expose marina while she was about to scam her crush into a gaslighting marriage extravaganza obviously marina was right to do that but pen also was a fucking teenage girl with issues

like i really have to see people excuse kate trying to cement the engagement of her baby sister who wanted true love to a white man she KNOWS was looking for a wife as essentially a breeding mare because she likes him too much for her brain not to go to mush - which is all understandable but my woman was 26 ;-;

also penelope was right that queen charlotte would not believe she was lady whistledown over eloise who got along just fine after her exposed excursions to examine the brains of the #poors i really don't know why we give a shit about that am i really supposed to be mad at pen just for preventing eloise from flirting with some white newsie who looks more related to her than her own brothers while we know she is going to get straight married to a member of the landed gentry?

like sorry penelope is also a human being and not some perfect little shrinking violet sorry she also makes mistakes and hurts people just like every other fucking character that's been part of the main couple

The elves of Imladris as horses

Requested by Anon

Hi! Can I request a Imladris elves Horse AU? I love your horse AU :) congrats on the 500 followers!

(I left Glorfindel out since he already has a headcanon. He does get mentioned though. Hope you like it!)

Warnings: some horses being mischievous, Erestor is a grump, some spooky mystical things happening, some falling, biting, wandering off, and mentions of disappearances.

-------------------------------------

- You loved horses when you were young. Those creatures always looked majestic and something out of fairy tales. 

- You would never miss a riding class with your favorite pony and sometimes nagged your parents to let you ride a horse. They didn't since you were too small and young to sit on a full-grown horse. They only allowed it when they were the ones riding the horse, and you would sit in front and shriek in delight when they started galloping. 

- You were so obsessed with horses that you sometimes wandered in forests, trying to find a mythical horse. It always made your family freak out and scold you not to go alone in the woods. 

- You even remember being jealous of your older sibling when they got their own horse. 

- But as time passed and you reached your teens, you began to outgrow your horse fantasies and found other interests. Owning a horse and taking classes was quite costly, so you sought something cheaper and an easier career path. 

- Your family was quite involved with horses, and most of your older relatives have been horse riders, so it was nearly a traditional thing. However, your family respected your life choices and did not try forcing you to become a horse rider as well. 

- Imladris was a famous horse stable where you had spent most of your childhood with your older sibling. You knew the owner and were familiar with most of the horses that lived there. 

- It was a lovely place located near mountains and rivers. The forest paths were filled with wildlife and were commonly known for the nightingales that lived there. Riding there felt like the whole forest was singing. It also felt like a home to the riders as to the horses. It is a wondrous place. 

- One day, when you were visiting your family. Your older sibling asked you to watch their horse and a couple of others since they were so thin on caretakers and they desperately needed to attend other things in their lives. 

- You were on vacation from your current career path, so you agreed.

- Your older sibling was grateful, and since you were familiar with most things you needed to do while caring for the horses. They simply introduced you to the necessary tasks and the other horses that were going to be in your care. 

- Elrond, Celebrian, Elladan, Elrohir, Arwen, Erestor and Lindir. 

- You knew Elrond since he was your sibling’s horse. You simply adore him. You knew Celebrian since she lived in the same stable, and from what you heard, she and Elrond were technically married. You haven’t met their kids but heard how beautiful they are. The twins are named Elladan and Elrohir, and the daughter is Arwen. You also knew Erestor and that he was a crump. Lindir was someone new to you.

- And with all things settled. You stayed at your family’s house, and your sibling was off to the cruel world of jobs and schools. 

Elrond

- Elrond was a beautiful dark brown stallion with a star mark over his forehead. You had heard it was a common trait from his family tree. He was the infamous mare’s Luthien’s great-grandson and even had a twin who lived in another stable named Elros. 

- Elrond is a lovable horse, perhaps one of the most gentle horses in the whole existence. He was happy to see you when you showed up at the stable. He gave you a cheerful neigh as a greeting, and it only made you smile as you petted him and gave him a treat. 

- It was like you two were old friends, and it was true in a way. 

- Elrond was an experienced dressage horse and has done show jumping in the past. Most of the time now, he’s used during riding classes for new young riders to help them get experience, and he’s very gentle with them. 

- He’s pretty much everyone’s favorite horse. 

- He was gentle with you too when you rode him for the first time. You felt nervous since you hadn’t ridden in a long time, but he was patient and always stopped when you had trouble adjusting your position or the stirrups. 

- He’s just so patient, and thanks to him, you gained some experience in riding and became more confident. You finally understood why the younger riders would want to ride him first than any other horse. 

- He was easy to clean and seemed to be okay with everything.  You thought there was at least one thing he didn’t like, but no. He didn’t even mind getting washed with water than most horses who would either hate it or be scared of it. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy taking baths. 

- There was one thing he didn’t like – the riding crop.  He would walk away from the sight, which felt a bit strange since your sibling had used a crop in the past till you heard he had some rowdy kids who used the crop violently during classes. He then began disliking it and refused to come out of the pasture or his stall if he saw a crop. 

- It was understandable, so you ensured to never bring a crop when it was time for an exercise or a riding session. 

- One adorable thing about him was how he would act around Celebrian. The two would always hang out in the pasture and care for each other. The two were like a married couple.  You heard there was once an incident where Celebrian was supposed to move away to another stable but the two caused a fuss and refused to separate from each other, so Celebrian’s owner had to relent and allow Celebrian to stay at Imladris to be with Elrond. 

- It sounded like a deep romance drama and you were happy the two were allowed to stay together. 

+ 100 / 10 Elrond is a sweetheart. If ‘kind as a summer’ was a horse– he would be it. He doesn’t cause any trouble, and he’s sometimes helpful when you are dealing with his kids. There was nothing negative you could say about him, especially considering that you've known him for most of your life.

Celebrian

- A beautiful white mare with slight silver in her mane. Elrond’s wife and a very adventurous horse. 

- You have known Celebrian nearly as long as you have known Elrond. She's affectionate and has an adventurous personality; she enjoys wandering far in her pasture and the woods during rides.

- She’s also the twins and Arwen’s mother. 

- You have heard her mother was Galadriel, one of the most beautiful horses from Finarfin’s family tree. This was intriguing since it meant that two horses from well-known family trees came together and produced three lovely foals. 

- However, unlike Elrond, Celebrian was troublesome in a way. 

- She can sometimes be a little airhead and wander off for long periods. You would either need a search party or Elrond to call her back whenever she goes missing. 

- She likes to play a lot on the dirty grounds, so keeping her clean was a workout. 

- Sometimes, she likes to tease you during exercises and classes, especially when you are on her back, just to get a reaction out of you. You don’t like it, but at least you learned how to grow stronger nerves and confidence with troublesome horses. She was technically level 2 after Elrond. 

- She enjoys forest runs and tends to be a bit dramatic when it comes to work.

- However, she’s soft toward Elrond and would not leave him alone, and she’s very stern with her kids even if they are already grown young horses. 

+ 10/10 You like her even if she constantly teases you and gets dirty most of the time. You would appreciate it if she would stop wandering off so much. It’s a real trouble to get her back.

Elladan and Elrohir

- Elladan and Elrohir are two dark horses with brown tones in their mane. They share the same forehead star marking and are one of the rare pairs of twin horses. 

- It is a bit surprising since Elrond has a twin too, and there was another pair of twin horses from his family tree. Three generations of twin horses. What are the odds? 

- The two are energetic and nearly as troublesome as their mother as they seemed to take it to themselves to test your nerves as well. 

- They have a tendency to steal brushes and equipment, and sometimes they steal food from the storage. And they always grin at you after you catch them in their criminal act. 

- They like to play with the hose when they are in the pasture and you are trying to refill their water trough. It would get messy, and you would always get wet from all the water they throw around. 

- They are not your favorites, and you nearly lose your patience with them every time they are on to their mischief. They sometimes earn a laugh or two from you from their antics. And you think it had become a challenge for them to make you laugh since they would grin after making you laugh. 

- You are so glad they never do anything damaging. 

- Luckily, they take riding and shows seriously. Elladan specialized in dressage, while Elrohir excelled in show jumping. Sometimes, they even rode together in shows.

- They are pretty tame toward their riders and even the youngest who want to ride them. However, due to their mischievous nature toward you, you do not dare to ride them and let them usually run around together on the field, sometimes making them jump. 

- You were not going to risk it with their shenanigans. 

7 / 10 You find their antics sometimes funny, but they make you mistrust them. You do not like how they get messy and cause you a headache most of the time. 

Arwen

- A beautiful black mare with a similar forehead star like her brothers and father. 

- Arwen is a friendly horse. She’s sweet toward you and anyone she meets, but she has taken after her mother and gained a habit of wandering off into the woods and going missing for some time. Luckily, she comes back before nightfall, so she doesn’t cause you a total heart attack as her mother does most of the time. 

- It seems that Celebrian’s wandering trait is going to be a recurring thing. 

- Strangely, you had noticed that Arwen’s urge to wander into the woods was much stronger than with Celebrian. It might have been a family thing since you had heard Luthien and Elrond’s mother, Elwing, had a strong tendency to get lost in the woods too, so it might not be Celebrian’s trait that was kicking in Arwen.

- It could have also been related to the incident with Luthien’s father, Thingol, and the mystery mare that was never found after he was finally found alone in the woods with his newborn foal. 

- You remembered reading about it in the newspapers; it was still a mystery with no logical answers. People assumed it was a wild mare, but Thingol’s owner once claimed strange things began happening around Luthien when she lived under their care as a foal. If the owner of Luthien's father could assert that something was not right, then there was no way the mare could have been just an ordinary wild horse. 

- Whatever it was, it was a thing of the past. You just have to keep a watchful eye on Arwen, and things will be fine. 

- You two got along well. Arwen was used in riding classes, and the youngsters adored her, but sometimes she was used in vaulting, and you always found it fascinating to watch as her rider and other beginners did complex tricks on her back. You would never dare to do anything like that, especially the flips. 

- You have heard she had won several horse shows, and she was considered just as beautiful as Luthien, and the two are nearly a look alike. 

- Arwen enjoys it when you bring her on rides through the forest, especially with her family. These riding trips often lead to funny mishaps, such as taking a dip in the river or racing beneath the trees.

- However, you sometimes get an odd sensation of being watched when riding through the forests. It was a spooky feeling, and you do not know why, but sometimes, you think you can see a horse wandering behind the trees or hear its voice. Yet, when you investigate, you find nothing – it's as if you've seen a ghost.

- You shared your experience with Arwen's owner, and they revealed that they had similar incidents in the past. The owners of Elwing and Luthien had also mentioned feeling watched and followed in the woods in the news, hearing what sounded like a wild horse but never finding anything.

- It was so strange that you nearly believed Elrond’s family line was haunted or something. Arwen’s owner commented that perhaps it was the mystery mare watching over her descendants, but that was a too far-fetched theory for you to believe. However… you were never sure.  

- One salvation for her constant wandering arrived in the form of a stallion. You noticed Arwen had taken a strong liking toward a stallion named Aragorn. He’s a friendly horse with some past as a guard horse and came to Imladris for retirement, or so you heard.

- Arwen seemed pretty determined to get his attention, neighing, and Aragorn seemed to return the new feelings, and it was like a romance drama upholding behold you. Even though Aragorn sometimes seemed pretty shy around her. 

+7/10 She’s a headache on her own, but at least not a bad one like her brothers. Watching her unfolding romance drama is hilarious. 

Erestor

- The grumpy old stallion with a dark coat and white socks. He was the definition of being an old man in a horse body. He was a very beautiful horse, but his personality was something to work with. 

- He doesn’t give you trouble when it's time to go to the pastures or do his exercises, but he does seem to like to look at you and silently judge you. 

- He’s sometimes picky with the food and brushing, and if you end up on the wrong spot, he might give you the back ears and threaten to bite you. He doesn’t bite but takes a rough nibble, which does feel uncomfortable. But he does bite when you try to give him a bath though. 

- You first thought he hated you for some reason then his owner told you that’s just his personality. 

- They gave you a hint that if you put an online book with a narrator on for him to listen to, he will remain calm and focus on the story while you clean him even during bath times. It was odd when you first tried it but loved it when it worked. Surprisingly, even you got into it and found something you liked with Erestor. 

- Before brushing time, you would check on your phone and ask Erestor what he would like to listen to and he would give you a snort of the book he would like to listen to. 

- It turns out Erestor can be sweet and agreeable when you share a common interest. 

- Erestor has experience in show jumping and cross-country jumping. He was surprisingly calm when you decided to ride him. He didn’t scare anything or try to bite your feet. 

- He seems to like taking rides through the forests with other horses. But he will refuse to cross any river unless there is a bridge. You don’t even think he’s afraid of it, he just hates it. 

- He is sometimes pretty snappy toward other horses, especially toward one golden-colored horse that once came to visit. Glorfindel was his name you think. He’s pretty rough toward the twins, but Elrond and Celebrian he seems to respect. 

-8/10 he’s not so bad once you manage to get past his moody side. Doesn’t cause trouble and you like riding him. Bath time with him is awful thought. 

Lindir 

- Lindir is a soft chestnut-colored stallion with darker tones on his mane. He was new to the stable, so you didn’t know much about him. You only knew he was older than Elrond’s kids but younger than Elrond, Celebrian, and Erestor. 

- He was timid and reluctant to approach you when you started caring for him. 

- It was a challenge, but you quickly learned how his moods changed over things. First, he hated getting dirt on his coat, so keeping him clean was relatively easy, except when it was time to wash him after riding sessions. He hated water and made it difficult for you to get the sweat and dirt off his back. He was literally worse than Erestor when it came to bath time. 

- He was also picky about the food he ate. He had no problem eating grass and fruits when they were available, but when it came to feeding him any concentrates or minerals – there were suddenly several problems. 

- He would refuse to eat if there were too many pellets. He would kick the bucket away if there’s too little of a certain mineral. And he will not even touch the bucket if it's moisturized with water— even if it is good for him. 

- You had to contact his owner for details on the food after he refused to eat the food you prepared for three days straight. 

- His owner explained that he was quite strict about sticking to old routines and asked you to give him a couple of days to adjust to new things. He would eventually start eating different foods and become more lenient with you.

- His owner also told you to play music on your phone, and he will remain calm during washing times. 

- You nearly didn’t believe them till you played some classical music on your phone and watched how calm Lindir turned. 

- He was probably a musician in his past life since he focused on listening while you brushed and washed him. He would step away a couple of times but didn’t try running away like usual. 

- After that, you made sure to play music whenever it was time to clean him. 

- After some days passed, you managed to get past Lindir’s timidness and learned he was pretty affectionate. He got used to other horses and would sometimes bring you flowers and sticks he would find from the pasture.

- He mostly had been on horse shows and wasn’t experienced much in riding. 

- He was training to be another dressage horse, and his owner hoped he would get used to children and younger riders in riding classes, but after several incidents with children— he was pulled out from the list of horses for youngsters. 

- He grew to dislike children and younger riders, especially after being handled by a few rowdy ones. He would refuse unless there’s an adult to walk beside the kid. 

- Lindir also had a peculiar dislike toward ponies. 

- You are not entirely sure why, but he has a tendency to avoid them. It could be because the ponies can sometimes be rowdy and wild, but it still remained a mystery. 

- He does not have a problem with you riding him, but he sometimes gets easily startled, and you fall from his back. 

- You never fall badly or in a way where you injure yourself, but Lindir would feel bad and brood about it for a whole day. It would take his favorite treats, pets, and words of assurance for him to get back to his usual self. 

- He is a one peculiar horse. 

+8 / 10 He's pretty okay. Washing him is not a funny job, but he's not as difficult as Erestor or the twins. You enjoy listening to music with him, but he sometimes has a picky collection.

I’m pretty sure I like it more than most people, judging by the internet’s reaction.

I’ve always seen the nations in genshin has places Hoyo were inspired off of and then attached a time period to further an aesthetic. So Natlan being a bit more on the modern side never threw me off because logically speaking, it’s not any weirder than steampunk Victorian France boarding with ancient China and medieval Germany. I think most people were put off cause many of us actually around for earlier 2000’s so the contrast feels sharper in conjunction with the idea of historical tribal cultures living vividly in such an era.

Even the more “modern” technology in lore isn’t in abundance. It’s Xilonen tinkering as a hobby and other sources outside of her are typically questioned or simply asked if they fundamentally mess traditional practices or could harm the way of life created; like in Chasca or Kinich’s quest so I kinda like the balance and commentary on it. I never had the opinion Natlan doesn’t feel like Genshin because of the direction they took.

There hasn’t been a character I hated in Natlan. They’ve all been pretty endearing but I do wish we saw Iansan more. She feels the most disconnected from events after Act 2 which sucks considering she’s the first Natlan character we ever saw. This might be copium but I kinda feel like Mavukia has a slight case of second life crisis. She’s the most modern looking out of everyone and though they never bring up why, I can’t help but think her full on doubling down with these new advancements helps her not think about how she’s 500 years out of time.

The only reason I think the world building works as well as it does is because the nation is cut off from how the rest of the world in a lot of ways, so many rules and set ups make sense in this environment, but would be less solid if their Ley Lines, Night Kingdom, and a few other things existed alongside the rest of Teyvat from the beginning. I don’t hate it and they took their time explaining the how and why of concepts, but it was definitely a weird learning curve.

It’s one of my favorite places to explore. I wish it was bigger and expanded more often. It’s top five favorite places for me to explore and will probably go up if we get Mare Javari. I’m one of those freaks that actually liked the exploration of Sumeru, Enkanomiya, Chasm, and Fontaine’s water. The details and areas not actually advertised is insane. There’s an ancient sky kingdom. That’s awesome and you can fall from it. It reminded me of learning there’s a route in the desert from 3.7 underground that will lead you from north to south down but to the 3.1 area.

Yeah i like Natlan. It might be my third favorite region overall.

Happy birthday to the apple twins and I. As my gift for them, they get a story.

Enjoy.

508 years since is was born.

500 of those years I suffered. I was alone. No one had cared. Abused , alone, a folks story people would tell their children.

Why am I still here? Just to suffer? 

"Boss! Open up! We need to eat eventually!" Killer yells through the door to the office, banging his fist on the old wood. 

Damnit Kilz not again-

"boooossss plsssss! Murder isn't letting us eat until you do! Birthday rules or som-" Killer pauses, unfortunately remembering the day. It seems his memory is getting better atleast. Two years he wouldn't remember until Christmas. 

Killer giggles, tugging the handle to the locked door. "oh bossy~! It's ya birthday!” Killer coos, taking his favorite knife out, running his index finger along the edge.

​​​​​​"don't  remind me. Tell everyone I will be downstairs in a moment." The king informs him, rolling off his  bed (which is a fake bookshelf that converts into a bed.)

Nightmare yawns, the balls of his feet hitting the floor and sending a static feeling up his legs and his knees locking. Of course... Two tendrils go to massage his knees and femurs.

This is getting ridiculous... Nightmare mutters to himself, the feeling  in his legs dying down. This was the third time this week. After a few more minutes the pain  is bare able and he stands up and walks to the door. 

No need to change when you slept in your clothes.

In  the dining room the table was set with all of Nightmare's favorite foods and beverages. Wine, coffee, pie, pancakes, turkey dipped in the most mouth watering sauces and other savory things you would expect to see on Gyftmas. Not a birthday.

Killer groans, reaching out for the jerkey that was just out of reach. The result was Murder slapping his hand. "Damnit bunny just let me eaaaat!" Killer whines, his tears staining the vintage wooden table again. Killer was one of the few who had a seat just for him. Furthest from Nightmare where all the silver tear stains are.

"No kitty... We wait for mare mare." Horror says, brushing the fur on his jacket. He needs to look his Saturday best! Killer glares  at Horror, tempted to throw a knife at him. "aint talking  to you wolfki" He mutters, using the insult varient of the brute's nickname.

"c0uld y°u st0p." Error mutters, munching on a chocolate wrapper. 'To get all the chocolate goodness' he told Swap. Which was mostly true. Murder sits still, dissociating from the world.

"gods what do yo- oo wine." Nightmare brings everyone out of their brooding as he sits down at the head of the table, grabbing the bottle of vintage Italian wine and pouring a genorous amount into his birthday mug. 

"Th€ gh0$ts 4®€ back. B33n 4-4n0¥y1ng m3 n0n $t0p" Error complains. Flicking away another pesky floating ded rat. Error is surrounded by floating objects. Plastic knifes and forks, a spatula and a dirty whisk. Error is glitching out alot.

Nightmare looks at the whisk, eye socket narrowing. "you made cake..?" He questions, growling softly at the batter falling to the flour covered floor. "we maDE CAKE?" Killer pipes up, grinning from eye socket to eye socket.

"ye-yes... T-teeth and Enough made it." Horror murmers, picking up his fork and fiddling with a grape in the salad. Murder looks down, a larger shadow casted on his face. Killer shrugs, reaching for the jerkey. Murder slaps his wrist again. "that vegan s[..]t is in the oven." Murder informs, stopping the recently vegan Killer.

"oh." Killer stands up, grabs  his plate and dashes to the kitchen to get his beloved plant based jerkey. Nightmare groans, glaring at the most mentally sane of the grou. "you know I'm not a fan of cake, Murder."  Nightmare says, dishing a healthy amount of turkey onto his plate. Once he finished dishing, Horror and Murder started dishing. Killer returns with his jerkey, mouth watering black ooze.

"hey you started dishing without me!" Killer when's and darts to the table to dish his greens. Who know all it took was a vegan teacher to get the dumbass to eat his fruits and vegetables? Although now he won't eat meat and sh[iz] now...

Goddammit Colour... Why did yo give him access to the internet...?  Nightmare wonders, chewing on his delicious turkey wing. Horror speaks up "It was Aliza's Idea... She's coming over later to celebrate too." Horror informs him. Nightmare stares at him, disbelief and silent disdain on his face. "your daughter... Wishes to celebrate my birthday?" the king questions, gaining another nod from Horror. 

"Dream visit...ed. Brought food. I told him not to work on his birthday. Aliza heard." The brute further explains, mouth full of pie. ​​​​​​Nightmare rolls his eyelight. She shouldn't care. He tells himself. "y0u® g1rlfriend  l3ft 4 l​​​​​​l3t ter. ​​​​​​" Error says, handing a letter with a dusty snake symbol on it. It was the the stamp She made just for him.

She is his equal. His other half. Sure Nightmare is gayer than Icurus, but She is his. He is hers. He smiles softly, opening the envelope. Inside was a letter wishing him, her kraken, happy birthday. Even suggesting a date for the two of them and their little fetaherbaby.

Nightmare smiles, noting that he should write a reply letter later. Possibly arrange a flight to Greece to see his queen. He engulfs the letter in a burning flame of purples and blues. He continues to eat. The food is nice. Just how he likes it...

Maybe my birthday isn't a waste... 

.

"Oh great guardian! Happy birthday!" 

Again and again, those were the words he heard today. Seemingly a broken record. 

"Great guardian, we need your help!"

That was a sentence he heard almost everyday.

You would think that after the truce Dream would finally be left alone. But nooo. It was great guardian this and great guardian that. It was tiring. He's supposed to be retired!

Dream sighs, getting a snake named Fluffy down from a tree. Lil Fluffy the anaconda slithers into his body, hugging him. Dream knows it is a hug because Fluffy broke his bones once and felt guilty as hell. Dream climbs down, looking down at his recent friend, a 8 year old girl who wears brightly colored hand made punk clothing.

"thank you Lemon Boy!" she says, gently holding her arms out so that Fluffy can slither back to her. Emily is one of the few Dream would want to go out of his way to help. He likes helping her. "no problem little Rockstar! Run off to your parents now, I saw them by the toy  bikes." Dream informs, running his hand down Fluffy's scales.

Maybe I should get a snake... He thinks to himself. The companionship would be nice. Maybe he could get a black mumba! Those get to like 10 feet long, I could raise it from a babe!  Cold things are nice things. The creature would love Dream's body heat. It's naturally high. 

His phone pings. Then another ping. Likely the groupchat again. Wait didn't I mute that-? He thinks to himself, taking out his phone and opening his chats. It was Swap and Lust. His friends. Another ping came when Red and Edge messaged, then another from Cinnimon. All saying happy birthday. Dream smiles at the texts, replying with some difficulty.

The one day I forget my glasses... He sighs and puts his phone away, lazily moving his hand in a circular motion to open a gden glittery portal. He steps through and heads to the lounge, flopping onto the couch with a grunt. 

"Someone's had a bad day." Reaper says, sipping his coffee. Dream lifts his head from the couch, looking up at the bringer of Bad deaths. "no s[..]t Sherlock." He says, catching the hot water bottle thrown at him "f[..]k you Watson." Reaper shots back, stretching his 3 pairs of wings.

"Still wondering why you don't want a private birthday party kid." Reaper informs, putting his mug down and grabbing his scythe, his 6 wings merging into 2. Dream shrugs

Dream says, clutching the water bottle.

Reaper chuckles softly. "awe, my baby boy has grown up since I found him." Reaper coos, checking out the baalde to ensure it is fit for reaping. Although it was never on paper, Reaper adopted Dream after finding him in that abandoned AU the kid o me called home.

He looks up at the demi-godling. "want to come with me for work? My gift." Reaper says, summoning the toy scythe he made for Dream when the child guardian asked for one. Dream looks at the scythe and sighs, stnwifng up with a smile. The scythe was nothing to be scared of, made of dead pyrike (frozen wood) and is smaller than Reaper's, but it means the multiverse to Dream "sure."

Atleast Dream can help people cross over to the underworld instead of silly little things he doesn't like. 

(done. I the colors of their speech thingies represent the soul traits! Although I didn't have YELLOW for Dream. Hope you liked the insight on my UTMV)

Sefer Yetsirah es el Libro de la Formación que revela que Dios creó el universo mediante las letras del alfabeto --implica cierto pensamiento de la apocatástasis (o Tikkun). Justamente respecto de la apocatástasis y del cálculo a partir de las letras del alfabeto, el filósofo y traductor Michel Fichant (en el “Postfacio” al volumen que reúne los textos de Leibniz “De l’horizon de la doctrine humaine” y “La restitution universélle (Apocatástasis panton)”), plantea que “la más impresionante de las ficciones, en el sentido de Borges, se encuentra en Guldin”. Fichant apunta que al finalizar su De Centro Gravitatis (1641), el Padre Paul Guldin reproduce como apéndice el breve ensayo “Problema Arithmeticum de rerum combinationibus” (ya publicado en 1621). Fichant agrega que en este trabajo, Guldin tenía el propósito de exponer la regla de todas las combinaciones, conjunciones o conmutaciones –generalizando la aplicación ya llevada a cabo por Clavius–. Con el objeto de presentar un ejemplo de apoyo, se daba la tarea de tomar los 23 elementos (letras del alfabeto) para calcular la cantidad de palabras diferentes que estos elementos permiten formar. Metodológicamente, se impone dos lineamientos: no le importan si estas palabras tienen significado o si se pueden pronunciar, y se considerarán sólo las disposiciones sin repeticiones (considerando palabras –con sentido o no– de hasta 23 letras). Excluyendo la repetición, Guldin calculó como “regla universal” que el número de todas las palabras que se pueden escribir con un alfabeto de 23 signos son 70.273.007.330.330.098.091.155, términos en los cuales ninguna letra se repite en la misma dicción (por lo cual, piensa Guldin, no es de extrañar que haya tantos idiomas en el mundo y, en cada uno, tantas palabras diferentes). Escribir todas estas palabras requeriría de 1.546.007.491.267.262.187.905.433 caracteres, es decir, un número que alcanza a ser millón de millones de millones, motivo por el cual, y por cierta preocupación pedagógica, Guldin se pregunta cómo representar para el lector un número tan inmenso que desafía toda comprensión. Así, bajo el supuesto de que una figuración concreta permitiría “abrir el espíritu” a un número a partir de números más pequeños, Guldin propone registrar todas las letras en códices de 500 hojas (1000 páginas), de 100 líneas y 60 caracteres por línea, cálculo que determina 6 millones de letras por códice, y que se necesitarían 257.667.915.211.210.357 registros. Dado el mismo principio pedagógico, y como el número aún es demasiado grande para dar una idea clara, Guldin propone poner los libros en bibliotecas. Para esto, hace falta determinar el formato de los libros, el tamaño de los edificios, así como del espacio necesario para la circulación de los usuarios, detalles que equiparan esta biblioteca ficticia con una real. Así, una construcción cúbica de 432 pies de lado podría recibir 32 millones de volúmenes pero para albergarlos a todos se necesitarán 8.052.122.350 bibliotecas (de un área de piso de 186,624 pies cuadrados). Por el espacio que ocuparían se podría imaginar el orden de la magnitud del número de esta combinatoria. Pero –cita Fichant a Guldin– “¿Qué provincia, qué reino, qué imperio, los chinos, los turcos, los cristianos, o incluso qué viejo mundo podría ocuparse?”. Si se hiciesen ciudades de bibliotecas, y si se admite que las tierras infértiles, los océanos y mares, y otras aguas separadas representan la mitad de la superficie de la tierra (para Guldin, las observaciones modernas), la superficie del terreno global sólo podía acomodar 7.575.213.799 bibliotecas (un número notablemente menor que las bibliotecas necesitadas, y aun serían necesarios 476.908.551 edificios que no cabrían en Europa). Concluye que si bien Guldin vio en la multitud de dicciones formuladas con la ayuda de un alfabeto único la razón de la multiplicidad de las lenguas y la riqueza de cada una, no llegó a ninguna conclusión precisa sobre la pluralidad misma de los idiomas. Michel Fichant consideraba el cálculo de Paul Guldin como un caso cercano a Borges.

edddd happy dadwc :3 i come for the beloved shaesa/alistair + ♡: Accidentally falling asleep together

A Perilous Place for a Nap | By Exalted_Dawn

“Do you think we should wake them?” 

It was Zevran’s voice, curling and playful like a cat’s tail. The tone he uses when he knows he’s going to get in trouble for something, but finds the situation too amusing to care. 

“No, no. It is kinder to let them rest.” That was Leliana who was talking this time, and though she did not sound nearly so shit-eating, the slightest chuckle punctuated the end of the suggestion, like a dash of honey thrown into tea to make the swallowing less bitter. 

Groaning, Shaesa murmured a question. Or at least she tried to. But instead of an answer, she was met with swift-hushed silence. Blearily, she tried to fight the shackles of half-sleep and force her eyes open, but a gentle back and forth sway kept her just on the edge of waking and sleep. Too lulled for stirring. 

“Are you quite certain? Their situation looks rather… precarious.” Zevran again. 

“I for one would love to see them fall into the mud,” Morrigan hummed, somewhere nebulous ahead of her. Them…?

“True,” Zevran conceded. “But think of how much funnier it would be if one of them woke up right now. Alistair would be red as an Orlesian in Antiva.” 

Ohgren made a gravelly sort of chuckle, the sound of it somewhere behind her. “Heh, but do ya think Shae will punch him fer all the drool he’s getting on her face?”

What? Drool?

Shaesa tried stirring awake again, this time managing to scrunch her face and as she tried to turn her head away from the sunlight, she did indeed feel something cold and wet against her cheek. She also felt the rasp of something rough and scratchy, like a brick on skin. 

Whatever it was, she felt it lurch against her again before pulling away entirely, causing her head to fall sharply forward in the absence of any support. Shaesa reeled, her eyes snapping open as she wobbled in her saddle. “Fuck-” And then slipped sideways from it entirely. 

There was another silence this time, far more pregnant than the first as Shaesa stared dumbly up at the world above where she lay in the rain-mottled earth. Almost everyone had stopped to stare at her: Leliana, Zevran, Oghren, and Wynne all blatantly biting back laughter in their own ways– behind a hand, a turned face, or a broad grin. Morrigan feigned disinterest from the head of the riding column, and Sten behind her was actually disinterested as he continued on past her, riding his large, buckskin dun draft horse. And then there was Alistair, immediately above her staring down from his own mare, squinting at her through sleep-crusted eyes. A damning stripe of drool ran down one side of his chin, mysteriously stemmed right around where it had pressed against her own face. 

He frowned. “...Shaesa…? Why are you on the floor?”

And before she could even begin to answer, the spell-bound silence was broken by a crow-like cackle. Head thrown back, Zevran began to laugh.

iv. gaon's research log

genshin impact x xdinary heroes au - piillow's slumber party special!

wc : 829 | genre : au, headcannon, some laughs maybe idk | a/n : HAPPY GAON DAY !!

ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

“gah! fine. sit down, ears open. you’ve been a good student these past few months, i suppose it’s time you finally get some information you want.” citlali said begrudgingly. “and also because it’s your birthday, i guess i’ll do it. but you can’t tell anyone else about this, okay?” she continued.

“why not?” gaon questioned. “that’s what researchers do, they share their findings with people so they can learn too.”

“i know that, dummy! but, this is the mare jivari. not even i know everything about it. that doesn’t mean i’m not a trusted source, i’m just… cautious about who i tell it to…” citlali replied.

gaon couldn’t believe it. finally, this training wasn’t going to waste after all! he quickly sat down on the patch of grass he had created with his vision, and got his notebook out. as granny itzli talked, he quickly wrote stuff down, and keeping his questions saved for later. he didn’t want to interrupt her…

“Mare Jivari:

1000 years ago, the Wanderer’s Troupe went to battle (I think..? Granny Itzli talks fast…)

Before it became a wasteland

Tenoch and six other tribe masters went to finish with the WT started 500 years later

Border Master Sanhaj then made a small Night Kingdom to get rid of everything, then it became a wasteland

Then the Lavawalker (sage) was able to enter in and out of the Mare Jivari (how???)

Stanley (Mondstadt person) went a few hundred years after the Lavawalker died, but died while trying to save someone from a monster (wow… he seems familiar… I think I learned about him once)

Currently there roams a dark beast on the island the size of a mountain

And also a storm (similar to Inazuma)

It used to be a flourishing place but now has eternal flames (I guess they never go out?)”

when citlali was finally done talking, gaon looked up from his notebook in shock.

“is it really that bad?” he timidly asked. he knew the mare jivari was some desolate wasteland, but he didn’t think its history was this bad.

“i wouldn’t lie to you, would i?” citlali retorted. she did have a point, she barely lied to him, especially considering how obedient he was.

“right, sorry granny.” he said, while continuing to think. he had so many questions running through his mind, but he didn’t know where to start.

“no questions, huh? Really?” she teased, but gaon took this as the green light to start asking questions, so he started firing away.

to make the day more productive, they sparred while gaon asked questions to help with his multitasking.

while gaon swung his polearm at itzpapa’s attacks, he tried his best to listen to citlali while not getting hit.

“so- why- ah! why is it a wasteland now?” he asked through his attacks, slightly struggling.

“no stuttering! equal focus, remember?” citlali said before properly answering the question, making sure he understood all of it.

a bit later, she finally let the two of them take a break.

“itzpapa! you can stop attacking him now, and be more gentle next time, you almost broke the spear multiple times. i don’t want to go all the way back to the children of the echoes to ask xilonen for one.” she said.

“oh, xilonen? that name sounds familiar…” gaon mumbled to himself, even though citlali overheard it.

“mhm, she’s an ancient name forger from the children of echoes. i don’t think you’ve been there before. you should visit sometime before you go back to sumeru, it’ll be worth it. you might as well visit the other tribes while you’re at it, i’ve got connections!”

“connections? like who?” he asked, now suddenly curious.

“most of the ancient name bearers and even the archon herself, that’s who.” citlali replied, proudly scoffing. “you wouldn’t think i’d have any, huh?”

gaon quickly shook his head. “oh, no! i would never, granny. i’m just surprised, i guess. i mean, the archon? what’s she like? similar to mine?”

“well, she wasn’t locked up for 500 years, so definitely not. … was that too rude? i’m sorry.” 

“... it’s fine.”

citlali then nodded. “well, if you’re sure.” she said before describing the archon to him, telling him about what she knows about her backstory, and how they’re decently close.

after a long few hours of deep conversation and training, he was done for the day. when he got back to his place, he immediately headed to bed to try and get some sleep. unfortunately, his mind was still plagued with so many questions and what ifs that he couldn’t fall asleep.

“where was the lavawalker from?”

“do we really know what the origin of the monster is?”

“is someone behind all this?”

“who were the wanderer’s troupe fighting? was it important?”

“where did the storm come from?”

questions like this kept him awake, and he continuously tossed and turned until eventually falling asleep, hoping he could find more answers in the future…

[dwindlinghaze]

Hi, could i maybe ask for 🩰dancing princesses :)

Here's the description of me i hope its enough lol

I identity as agender, with he/they/she pronouns but i honestly dont really care about it that much and dont really correct people on anything

Im queer, mostly into men

Physical appearance:

5'6, bit chubby, short brown hair that i reaches just past my cheeks, grey eyes with glasses, black nosering in my left nostril, L and R tattooed on my wrist (yes for left and right lol). I mostly wear skater or cottagecore style clothes, usually dark and earthy colours with the occasional blue and red.

Personality:

Gemini infp, 6w5. Im usually more shy and anxious when i first meet someone or am in a new environment, but get pretty enthusiastic and talkative once i get to know someone. Im autistic, so i can get sensory overload or just overwhelmed, and sometimes this can lead me to get panic attacks or become nonverbal. This also means that certain topics can lead me to talk for like hours, even with strangers. My love language is physical touch, i love hugs or linking arms with people, and i have a tendency to lay against someone when sitting or if im very close with someone sometimes biting them (softly i promise lol). I do struggle a lot with recognising my emotions and i dont really like fighting. I dont really talk about my feelings, mostly opinions. I am known to be very good at debates, and usually lead them at school, because i am known to be able to form logic based opinions easily. I am creative and good at analysing situation and calculating the best outcome in my head. Also im very much the oldest sibling.

My hobbies:

I love art and am beginning my studies to become a visual artist in video game development. I love singing and music and never go anywhere without my headphones. Im good at writing and really enjoy writing essays and stories. Biology and nature are two of my biggest interests, specifically marine biology. Baking and cooking really helps calming me down. I also play guitar. I also love reading

My favourite artists are lovejoy, green day, metallica, deftones, the smiths, tears for fears, the oh hellos, liana flores, james marriott, hozier, nirvana and Lit

My favourite music genres are rock, metal, folk, indie, classical and 80's in general.

Extra info: i am a slytherin, im dutch and i speak 5 languages (dutch, english, french, german, irish), i have been following a special english course for 5 years and have a Cambridge C1 certificate. My patronus is a dun mare, and my wand is a beech wood, dragon core 12 1/2"

hello and tysm for participating in my 500 celebration

☾⋆｡𖦹 °✩

🩰 : i ship you with james potter

╰┈➤ geminis and aries get along very well. you both can share endless thoughts with a never ending excitement.

╰┈➤ james is the extroverted one so of course he'll make the first move. at first you were shy and timid when he approached but it quickly went away after getting to know him more. you knew his character because he literally is an open book but there's also a few pages that he doesn't show.

╰┈➤ when you're overwhelmed, james always knows the right thing to do. growing up surrounded by loving friends, he knew how to comfort someone !

╰┈➤james loves it when you talk about your interests. it doesn't necessarily have to be something entertaining, he just loves hearing you ramble even if he doesn't understand you.

╰┈➤ you mentioned that you love hugs and what is james if his personality is not giving good hugs? random hugs will he do. on the hallway after a class, while you both are sitting comfortably on the armchair. also he'd walk you to class (even if you both didn't share the same one) and would link your arms together on the way.

╰┈➤ he is definitely shocked when you bit him, frozen, eyes big with confusion. though he laughs after and questions you about it. after some times he will get used to your habit and come to expect little bites.

╰┈➤ fights are not something that occur regularly. it rarely did. he knew you struggle to interpret your emotions- contrast to how easy you were in analysing situations, so he'll just be there and rubbing your back while you think deeply inside your head.

╰┈➤ helping james in writing his essay. he puts minimal effort when it comes to essays so you offer to help him finish it in which he was so thankful for.

╰┈➤ baking him your own delicacies often. not only does the activity calms you down but james also enjoys your food !!

18 de janeiro de 2025.

Sao 9:00 e estou no terminal de onibus de krabi. Eu tenho esse sentimento que estou sempre fazendo algo errado, como esquecendo alguma coisa ou indo pro lugar errado.

Tomei cafe com panqueca e abacaxi do outro lado da rua do slumber hostel krabi. Saindo, vi Ghana o mongol. Pediu uma selfie comigo, estava dando check out pra ir pra Phi Phi. Um dos proximos destinos.

Na van ainda, agora pra entrar na balsa pra koh lanta. Agora penso muito em quanto manejar meu futuro. Mais que isso.

Is pra bangkok, pagar uma namoradinha, passar a noite com ela. Talvez fazer uma ultima tatuagem. Iria fechar com chave de ouro as duas coisas. Agora sentado em um restaurante em cima da agua, pagar 100$ so pelo thai pad. Nao me sinto em uma ilha, mas aqui penso que vai ser so passeios e planos pra finalizar a viagem.

Entao cheguei ao meu destino, bem no porto o hostel, simples e limpo, Just Sleep. Um dos que trabalham aqui falou pra eu voltar depois das duas, cheguei meio dia.

Sai, comi Pad Thai, sai pra ir ver a praia, mas estava alta a mare, sentei fumei um e voltei, matei tempo ate as duas.

Entrei no hostel tomei banho, cochilei e ate teve um porno na tablet. Dormi bem pouco, quando sai pranir andar de novo.

Um chines ou japones com um cinto pra levantar as meias e usando croc. Vi ele de novo e segui, achando que ele iria ir pro mesmo beco sem saida de antes.

Mas a mare baixou, andei fiz uns timelapse, e mais ou menos umas 18:00 sentado sem camiseta passou um thailandes com um saco de bater, meio wue me encarou. Ele foi um pouco mais pra frente, pendurou o saco na arvore e eu segui.

Com o tradutor pedi pra ajudar ele a treinar, insisti wue me faria muito feliz. So disse uma coisa bem clara no ingles: thank you very much.

Fiz mais timelapse e sai, a noite as feiras de rua. Comi uma baguete com frango e legumes dentro. Muito grande e muito bom tambem.

Fui na loja do lado do hostel onde vende maconha, comprei 500$bath, Kobi o dono me deu mais um pouco pra eu fumar, conversamos um pouco. Sai e dormir.

Amanha ou PhiPhi ou as 4 ilhas.

Feanor, Fingolfin and Finarfin as horses

Requested by Anon

hopefully I made it in time and it's not considered to hectic to be fulfilled. congratulations on achieving 500 followers btw 🎉🎊��. we should go out an eat pizza!!

I'd like to request a continuation to the Silm horse AU that you were doing (I really enjoyed them). I noticed you spoke about the heads (feanor, fingolfin and finarfin) but didn't actually write for.them. so I was wondering if you'd be will to make a few headcanons like how you did it for the others with reader caring for them on the farm. Thanks btw

Warnings: mentions of horses being dramatic, Feanor being moody, reader not being a willing caregiver, mentions of horse passing, reader obviously having a favorite.

------------------------------

- You were one of the famed horseriders. You were praised for your talent in dressage and your beloved Finarfin, who was considered one of the most beautiful white horses in the world.  

- You enjoyed what you were doing, but after traveling around the world on tours and winning competitions. You have decided to take a break with Finarfin and return to one of the horse stables, Tirion. 

- It was a homely place where you had spent most of your childhood and met Finarfin when he was a foal. 

- It was a fond memory. You were 14 or 15 years old at the time and wandered to one of the pastures, where you saw Finarfin for the first time, running around his mother and having the cutest whine. 

- When he saw you, he ran up to you, and you did not know what it was, but the next thing you knew, you were in love and playing with him. It was like an invisible bond was born between you when you locked eyes, and you started nagging your parents to take you to Tirion so you could see him most of the time. 

- Technically, you were breaking the rules since he was not yours, and your parents would have to pay a lot of money if they wanted to buy him, but when Manwe, Finarfin’s mother’s owner, caught you playing with Finarfin, he wasn’t angry at all. On the contrary, he had a feeling what you had been doing but couldn’t bring himself to separate you two since you two had an adorable bond. 

- And for your passion for riding and love for Finarfin, Manwe struct you a little deal. He told you if you managed to train Finarfin on the saddle and win three competitions in your choice of horse riding, he would pass the legal ownership to you. Since Finarfin was just a little extra, he could do that for you. 

- You were so excited that you started working tiredly to improve your riding skills and then started saddle training Finarfin when he was old enough. It was rough work to get him to wear the saddle, but you succeeded and then started learning dressage and competing in competitions. 

- Due to your determination and hard work, you managed to win gold three times in a row, crushing your competition and fulfilling the end of your deal with Manwe. 

- The man only laughed, admiring your determination, and then Finarfin was finally legally yours. 

- It was such a happy day, and your family threw a party when they learned you actually managed to fulfill the deal and became a horse owner. 

- You and Finarfin had been inseparable ever since.

- You experienced a lot of things together as you continued riding. You were there when he met the mare Earwen and became absolutely enamored with her. You were there when each of his kids was born and watched how doting he was toward them. It was adorable. 

- You were certain Finarfin would be happy to come back to Tirion and be with his wife. You simply adored how sweet he was toward her. They were a real married horse couple. 

- However, when you finally arrived in Tirion, two of your friends came to greet you. You caught up and shared some news, but then they asked if you could watch over their horses since they needed to go away for some time. 

- You first refused since their horses were Feanor and Fingolfin. You tolerated the latter, but there was no way you could handle Feanor. 

- Your friends begged you as they couldn't find anyone else to take the job. For some reason, Tirion was currently short on horse caregivers. When you heard that, you relented and agreed since you didn’t like leaving them in trouble. 

- They nearly cried and hugged you in gratitude. They gave you the worksheets and instructions on handling their horses and then scurried off to god knows where. 

- You could only hug Finarfin in despair and regret for accepting. 

- So much for having a vacation.

Finarfin

- Finarfin, your sweet white stallion with a golden mane and a golden heart. He had never been a troublemaker for you. He's friendly with people, sweet toward other horses, and doesn't shy away from many things.

- He's one of the most perfect horses in the world—to you, he was perfect, and you do not care for others' opinions about it. 

- And you treat him as such. You always make sure he eats well and has something to do so he doesn't get bored, and use warm water during bath times because even you don't like the feeling of cold water against your skin. 

- The only troublesome thing about him is when you try to get some fly repellent on him. He doesn't like the smell, but unfortunately, he attracts a lot of flies and mosquitos to himself. You always ensure to give him a treat after that. 

- Since he's specialized in dressage, you mostly do basic exercises together, but sometimes jump and ride through the woods to break a real sweat.

- He likes spending time in the pasture with Earwen, and you always take cute videos of them together. 

- Sometimes, you two spend time together in the pasture, lying on the grass while you read a book and have petting sessions, where he enjoys when you give him a good scratch on the right spot. 

- He has a peculiar relationship with his brothers. He’s very playful with Fingolfin and would follow him around sometimes. However, he tends to avoid Feanor. It was perhaps out of fear since Feanor was rather temperamental toward them. 

- Finarfin would be your source of comfort whenever you feel down or stressed after dealing with his brothers, letting you hug him and rub your back in comfort. 

- You might have hidden in his stall a couple of times to avoid his brother’s owners or just to avoid reality. 

+100/10 Best horse. Your precious boy will always be the number one in your heart. You do not like the drama his brothers cause, but at least he’s there, so you manage to endure it all. 

Fingolfin

- Fingolfin was a large black stallion with a diamond-shaped marking on his forehead. He's calm and a friendly horse, so you don't have problems with him. You would have been more than happy to look after him if Feanor was not added to the list. 

- You usually let him run free in the riding field and the pasture to release the extra energy he has after being scooped up in his stall for so long. He sometimes plays with Finarfin, which you find cute, and Finarfin follows him around like a follower.

- But when it comes to Feanor, Fingolfin turns rather melodramatic, attempting to interact with the other stallion and failing to grasp the hint when the latter makes it painfully obvious that they don’t like him in the slightest.

- You don't know what it is, but you've had to keep them in separate pastures to ensure the idiot doesn't end up with a hoof to the face.

- You don’t know much about racehorses, but when your friend offered you to let you ride him once, you got curious and accepted. You wanted to know what it was like, and oh boy, you were stunned by the speed when you galloped together through the usual forest path. 

- It was also terrifying, and Fingolfin still had energy when you were done, so you just let him run free in the riding field to let it out. 

- You decided you would never try riding racehorses ever again. The speed was just too much for you. 

- Luckily, Fingolfin was easy to brush and wash, but one time, you forgot to turn the water to a warmer temperature, and he freaked out when the cold water hit his coat. You were lucky to avoid getting hit by the hoof when he neighed and nearly kicked you. 

- Apparently, he has a severe beef with cold water. The incident nearly gave you a heart attack, so you now remember to ensure the water is warm when it comes to bath times. 

- He did feel guilty, so you got over it rather quickly. 

- Fingolfin was pretty calm around his wife. He turns less dramatic even around Feanor, and you sometimes see him care for his mare. 

- It was adorable, so you sometimes take a video of them together and send them to his owner, who would gush about it for a week. 

10 /10 You grew to like him in a way. He wasn’t challenging, but you would appreciate it if he would finally get it in his head that Feanor did not want to be his friend or even look at him. 

Feanor

- Feanor was a black stallion with a peculiar star-shaped marking on his forehead. He's a relatively very gorgeous horse, but in personality, he is proud, and you are terrified of him. 

- He doesn't get along with his brothers, most likely because they came from a different mother. You heard that his mother tragically passed away when he was born, which is sad and likely the reason he refused another mare as his mother. He had to be fed with formulas and personally cared for by people until he reached adolescence and didn't require as much care anymore.

- He was a famous racehorse and considered one of the fastest horses in the world. He only tolerates your friend, his owner, so you prefer just brushing him, feeding him, and letting him run freely in the pasture and field to release his energy.

- He doesn't show much attitude, except when you brush him in the wrong spot or give him the wrong amount of food. 

- He refuses to interact with his brothers, chases Fingolfin away, and sometimes seeks a fight. You made sure to never put him in the same pasture as Finarfin. You're not letting that beast hurt your precious boy. 

- Your friend told you that he's very energetic and needs a lot of exercise, but you refuse to ride him or do anything else, so the best thing you can do is let him run free in the field or have others exercise him.

- He's surprisingly calmer around a red-colored mare named Nerdanel. He’s pretty sweet toward her and even tolerates other horses when she’s around him. 

- It was pretty surprising because he’s such a snob toward others. You didn’t mind it, but you never thought he and both of his brothers were such gentlemen toward their ladies. 

- You had heard the two were close and had seven foals together. It wasn’t even intended to make that many; the two just liked each other that much. Nerdanel’s owner wanted to keep them separate after her sixth birth, which ended up having twins. They wouldn't have been against making more foals, but they started to get concerned over Nerdanel’s health and the potential consequences if the two were allowed to mingle more. 

- But, they were allowed to be near each other. They just needed a fence in between with only certain exceptions being in the same pasture under supervision. 

- 9 / 10 You don't like him much. He causes you stress when he interacts with other horses with that pissy mood of his. However, he was not as bad as you thought. He at least makes caring for him easy. You do want to know how your friend manages him.
