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.

I’m so sorry doctor Umar

I NEED HIM

[cookies-after-dark]

this is my first post on this godforsaken sideblog i truly just need a glass of water and some happiness. here you are, a badly written snippet of smut of shadow milk cookie for those of you that even want this 🥛🥛🥛

WIP of NSFW Shadow Milk Cookie x gender neutral!Reader post

warnings: explicit sexual content, slight beast x ancient mention, not proofread

MINORS DNI!

You turn away and cover your eyes, hiding your blush with your arm. "Do you have any shame at all?"

Shadow Milk Cookie's salicious grin turns devious. "No, my darling Poppet. I truly don't." He reaches behind himself and uses his fingers to spread out his ass even more. "And you would be a filthy, perverted little liar if you said you didn't love it~."

It was true; all his teasing, his slutty outfits and obscene little jokes. They riled you up, and seeing him spread bare to you all with that mocking smirk on his stupid jackass face, daring you to just do something about it...

"Not interested? Oooh, well~" Shadow Milk Cookie straightens back up and raises his arms in a luxurious stretch, throwing a playful glance back at you over his shoulder. "What else is a poor little pent up cookie to do about that? Oh, I suppooose...~" Shadow Milk Cookie makes a show of pondering something, tapping a clawed finger against his chin. "...I could go see our gloomy little friend instead!"

A hot flare in your lower stomach coils and pulses; your eyes snap back to Shadow Milk Cookie and you don't even have the decency anymore to pretend to stare at anything else than his hardened cock. He even gives it a couple of shallow, careless jerks upon seeing you watching.

"Don't wait up for us~! I betcha he'll very much appreciate aaall the special 'love' I have to give. Truly a shame you won't participate." Shadow Milk Cookie sighs and shrugs. "We'll be a few hours. Or days. I'll put a sock on the door for ya, how's that~?"
