#Sword at Sunset

“It is lonely never to have been loved, only devoured” -Rosemary Sutcliff, Sword at Sunset

[verecunda]

Four types of horse were identified [at Newstead/Trimontium], modern Exmoor and Shetland type forest ponies, Arab-like ponies possibly imported from Spain or North Africa, 'Siwalik' horses comparable to modern racehorses, and cross breeds. [....] Zooarchaeological research indicates that that Romans supplemented local supply with foreign imports and sought to improve local stock-breeding. [Footnote: There is a long established tradition of quality racehorses bred on the Tweed. Medieval documents indicate origins before 1200 AD [...] The presence of racehorses at Newstead prompts speculation as to the age of this tradition. Did the Selgovae (hunters) specialize in horse breeding for the chase and provide a potential source of recruitment for the Roman cavalry or did the Romans import racehorses to Newstead? [...] It has been estimated that the Roman army in Scotland required a minimum of five hundred and twenty mounts each year in the late first century AD.] - Roman and Native in the Central Scottish Borders - Allan Wilson

I just had Sword at Sunset flashbacks reading this. 😂 HORSES. HORSES EVERYWHERE.

"Every time you think you are broken, know this: you are never really breaking. No one can break an ocean, darling, all you are doing, is breaking the glass that is holding you back, diving deeper into your own depths, discovering yourself in pockets of the most somber waves, rebuilding your heart with coral, with seaweed, with moon coloured sand dust. So stop trying to hold yourself back inside that glass, it was never meant to hold you. Instead, break it, shatter it into a thousand pieces...and become who you were always meant to be, an ocean, proud and whole." -Nikita Gill

Wishing you all a lovely Sunday evening. 💙

As gently and politely as I can put this: that post I made about outliving him is meant to be an anti-suicide affirmation. It is not meant to be a blinders-on assessment of reality, of the future boiling down to whether one man lives or dies. It is meant to reassure myself and everyone else that the horrors come, and the horrors go, that nothing is permanent, that hope persists with split knuckles and blood on its teeth. Things are rough. Things will likely get rougher. My eyes are open to that, but in the end, the first thing they want from us is to roll over, surrender, die. And I will not be granting that wish. I deserve to be here. You deserve to be here. We deserve to see the sun rise. And it will. I promise.

Did you ever finish Revolutionary Girl Utena? I wanna her your thoughts about it!

I recently did a rewatch with a lesbian BFF (her first time). I wish I could send pictures because I have an extremely hilarious set of selfies I took during the finale of her screaming her head off while I smile and flash a peace sign. That's gay + lesbian solidarity.

I really love it. Didn't really get it the first run-through, got it the second time (watching feels like playing a rogue-like in a way). I don't have much new to say that other sapphic writers haven't already talked about. It's at once a really dense piece of media that demands your attention and analysis and a really dumb anime that Ikuhara saw in a dream. The movie is absolutely gorgeous. SPOILERS: When Utena asks to see something eternal and Dios shows her Anthy. When Utena remembers she became a prince not to embody Dios but to save Anthy. When Utena opens the door and truly sees Anthy for the first time and utters through tears, "At least, we meet..." When we finally see that Anthy and Utena were secretly holding hands in the photo. Absolutely wrecks me every time.

Funnily enough, I have an unfinished Juri illustration collecting dust. I should finish that soon.
