And one amang, an Iyrysch man,

Uppone his hoby swyftly ran…

WAIT HANG ON - slamming the brakes on drawing this stupid picture - do you nerds even KNOW the etymology of the word “hobby”? The thing you do for pleasure? The thing you have too many of? The thing you spend too much money on and share with your friends? The thing tumblr probably is to you? Those hobbies?

It comes from a now-kind-of-extinct breed of Irish pony-horse. It was called the Irish Hobby. Supposedly the hobby got its name from the Gaelic word obann, or swift. They definitely were. They’d obann your pants clean off.

Fast tough little bastards, built for rough terrain and renowned for their speed and stamina, hobby horses belonged to the Celts, and their highly annoying style of mounted warfare. but their conquerors liked hobby horses a lot, kept them, used them for themselves, and found them useful enough, despite the fact that they also had famously useful things like mounted knights or horse archers. A lightweight Irish warrior, mounted on a hobby horse, was called a hobelar.

Reportedly and in depictions, hobelars rode without stirrups. Or saddles. Or bridles. Or - well - this is all sounding very improbable, because the hobelars COULDNT have just been charging around basically bare-assed on naked ponies, screaming, and somehow in the process undoing the composure of actual mounted armoured knights. Knights who, I remind you, had stirrups. Stirrups are useful! It’s quite likely the hobelars had some gear. And clothes. and weapons. And the ponies probably had some tack - I am picturing a bellyband that you could at least hang a saddlebag on, and a neck rope for catching the bloody thing, even if not a saddle. But the overall impression, somehow created by people on darling little ponies, was apparently quite striking and fearful.

I mean. God Forbid People Have Hobbies.

Anyway after a while, whatever people became the British had eventually conquered all of the rough terrain that hobbies were best at, and horse archers just got sexier, and mounted knights became aristos, and all the bog and forest people had been subdued, so it was time to sunset the hobelars. but WAIT! Hobby horses are still tremendously fun and appealing! They’re so fast! and you can ride them without a saddle! Sure, they’re not up to the weight of a mounted knight, or indeed a lot of guys… but surely we can still find a use for a hobby or two? In the back garden? Somewhere?

At which point an English king decided to keep hobby horses just for fun. No military application. No further development of the technology. Not for fun. Just as expensive, pleasurable, pets. Just for the joy of the thing.

And that is how hobby (activity done purely for pleasure) comes from hobby horse (small horse) possibly from obann (swift.) they’re very interesting and you should look all this up for yourself! because it sure sounds like Elodie doing a bit, doesn’t it?

Today, Irish Hobbies are functionally nonexistent. References for drawing include the Kerry Bog Pony, the Connemara, and (I personally think) Dartmoors and Exmoors. They’re said to have lent their speed to the Irish Hunter/Sport Horse and from there to the Thoroughbred, but every damn horse in the world claims relation to the Thoroughbred, and they can’t be THAT thoroughly bred.

At any rate - you can never have enough hobbies. Just be glad that yours aren’t expensive beasts with minds of their own, eating their heads off in the pasture! …Unless they are. In which case, you’re part of a proud tradition.

IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE THE APOCALYPSE BEGAN.

I've been mad about them for weeks, I had to doodle them,,

Also this is building a house of cards and I know Celia's probably just teleporting or something but with her whole "waking up on the side of the road with no memory of how she got there" thing I'm wondering if she's getting possessed and with her mentioning a "Jack" and also this episode saying she had some things she needed to work out before she could go on a date with Sam my theory is:

Celia is possessed by the ghost of Agnes Montague, who occasionally takes control and leaves Celia with memory lapses. Agnes is using this freedom to date Jack Barnabas in the moments when she is in control. Celia has been mostly okay with this until now, but the thing she needs to "sort out" is finding someone else for Agnes to possess because Celia has her own romance to attempt now, thank you, and she doesn't want to scare Sam off with her ghostly passenger dating someone else at the same time.

Looking at her I feel like I understand Colin on such a deep level because yes me too dude. If I saw her looking this good I would loose all my calm, confident composure, would flip around my fake personality so fast, would attempt to outrun a horse, would beg to be let in and to know if she had been proposed to, would consider throwing myself in the Thames for the 0.2 sec I believed to have been friend zoned, would need all of 5 sec to decide that she is the face I want to wake up to every morning for the rest of my life after nearly giving her her first orgasm (she did not finish in that carriage and that’s why he was desperate for more time) and would skip on my way to announce the engagement to absolutely everyone and anyone

Just saying this is the face of woman who wars would have been fought over for
