Do frogs have baculae, or is that just a mammal thing?

With very few exceptions, frog's don't even have intromittent organs, so no, definitely no baculae there. Baculae are 100% a eutherian thing. But also, having the intromittent organ being the same structure as urine passes along is a very weird mammal thing as well. In most other tetrapods, excretion of urea is entirely separate from reproduction functions, and there are dedicated structures for use during copulation, if it involves intromission. And in fact, in basically all other groups, the sperm flows along a groove, or sulcus, rather than down a tube.

I dieci Eroi sepolti al Vittoriale accanto al sommo poeta Gabriele D'Annunzio

La sommità del Vittoriale degli italiani che, si estende per circa nove ettari sulle colline di Gardone Riviera in posizione panoramica, dominante la sponda bresciana de lago di Garda, è occupata dal Mausoleo, monumento funebre realizzato dall’architetto Gian Carlo Maroni dopo la morte di Gabriele D’Annunzio. Il monumento è ispirato ai tumuli funerari di tradizione etrusco-romana ed è costituito…

Difficult Days - Part Six

Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five or Read on AO3

The next few years are a blur of odd jobs, of relationships --though to call a string of one night stands and dates that go nowhere would certainly be an exaggeration, and of living situations ranging from dilapidated apartments, a car for several weeks, of crowded hostels, and one memorable night in the guest house of a mansion that, coincidentally, had an incredibly flimsy lock on the door.

The times where Shawn is able to afford something stable and long term are so few and far between that he can count them on one hand. 

But when things do get difficult, and even when he doesn’t have a proper kettle or teapot, Shawn stops and finds a moment to make himself a mug of tea and is brought right back to the Guster’s kitchen on that late summer day. Even if the tea is luke warm and barely steeped from the low watt microwave in his tiny apartment, or he spills half of it trying to pour the hot water out of a soup pot into a tiny cracked mug, Mrs. Guster is right about the way it seems to stop everything from crashing down around him. 

He sends the Gusters postcards when he can afford it and tries not to think about everything he's missing right now in Santa Barbara.

He's older now, a little more confident and experienced with the world, and no less in practice with his observation skills.

How else would he have caught his one boss at the tennis pro shop in Connecticut embezzling funds, or the Gorilla Keeper's affair during his time at the North Carolina Zoo? 

Which was all the more reason to never really linger anywhere for too long, after all Scott Bacula never stayed longer than an episode when he saved the day or the time stream or whatever it was that guy had been up to.

Even when he does find himself in California he never travels further than San Diego, cognizant of the fact that there is a chance he could run into Henry, but he always manages to let Gus know he's ‘in town. 

It takes Shawn eight years to finally come home, coincidentally around the same time that Shawn hears Henry has moved away from Santa Barbara, and when he does finally pull into the familiar city, he finds nothing’s really changed all that much. 

The beach is still full of tourists, traffic is still a nightmare pretty much from sun up to sun down, even on his bike, and the Santa Barbara PD is still full of idiots. 

And Shawn’s ability to notice damn near everything, even the most minor observations, never really disappears nor does the urge to use it, to prove he knows better than the cops his dad had sung the praises of his entire life. 

He gets away with it, calling the tip line, for about two years before his luck finally runs out. Which is how, on a sunny summer afternoon, Shawn finds himself sitting behind the one way glass of the SBPD. 

Yet again. 

“Boy, Dijonaise sure is weird huh? You ever felt that?” Shawn asks the blonde cop that opens the door to the interrogation room, the sudden draft of fresh air as she stops in the door way is a welcome change, maybe the SBPD turn the AC off in the summer as a Interrogation technique. 

The cop, probably a detective actually based on the badge in her pocket and the cuffs on her belt, narrows her blue eyes and tilts her head slightly, staring intently at Shawn. 

“Excuse me?” she says in a bemused, if firm tone.

Shawn grins from his seat at the table, “you know, when you feel like you've done this before?”

She covers a surprised grin with a cough and shakes her head slightly, “I think you mean Deja vu”.

Shawn shrugs, and leans back as casually as he can in his seat, “I've heard it both ways”. 

He's never been called into the Interrogation room after calling in a tip before.

Normally any reward money earned would sit with the desk sergeant to be picked up -which he had assumed would be the case again today.

This change of pace can't bode well.

“Well, based on your file here,” the Detective continues, “I would rule out Deja vu, since you have been here before Mr. Spencer--”

Before Shawn can respond the door to the interrogation room opens again and out steps the rookie.

Lassiter, Lassie, old Lassifrass if Shawn's memory is accurate --which it always is.

He's older now, thankfully rid of the hideous mustache that did nothing for the man's face --now a beard, a beard would look pretty good on the guy with those intense blue eyes of his and those haven't changed a bit. 

He's no longer in uniform, instead dressed in a drab grey suit that was clearly purchased off the rack. Based on the shiny badge on his belt the rookie finally got his shield, which wasn't surprising given the level of intensity the man exuded even ten years ago.

The Detective's piercing gaze travels up and down Shawn before jumping to his partner. In one long stride he's beside the other Detective, leveling another glare at Shawn before looking back at his partner.  

His blue eyes linger on her for a brief moment and the barest of smiles tilts the otherwise stern expression. In the two way mirror, Shawn watches as Lassiters hand lifts to brush through the very ends of his partner's ponytail before dropping to his side.  

Huh.

Interesting…it seems that ol’ Lassie is not as straight laced as he appears, an office romance? 

Very interesting.

Shawn grins at the Detective, raising his hand and waving with his fingers, “Lassie, my goodness you're still here!”

“Do I know you?” Lassiter growls, his voice deeper than before, perhaps an intimidation tactic, “I don't make it a habit of knowing criminals”. 

“Well that's a bit extreme,” Shawn huffs, starting to feel a little uneasy now,  just what the hell is on the file? He wracks his brain trying to see exactly how these two managed to jump to this conclusion.

“I'm really just here for my check, if you think my rates are criminal take it up with your billing department--”

“Your rates,” Lassiter spits incredulously, exchanging a look with his partner, “just how dumb do you think we are?”

Shawn's patience is beginning to wane at the snarl and proximity of Lassiter and the way Detective Berry --the name shines brightly on the silver name tag on the lapel of her equally drab suit jacket, keeps flipping through the many unidentifiable papers in his file with a neutral expression. 

Shawn grins sharply, “do you want an honest answer?”

Lassiters eye twitches and Detective Berry moves slightly in between him and Shawn at the sight. 

All this nonsense, it has to be for a reason, probably the tips he’s been calling in, but that doesn't quite track either.

“Fine,” Shawn breathes out, breaking the staring contest with Lassiter and placing his hands on the table, “why am I here?”

“Where were you on June 27th, July 15th, and August 24th?” Detective Berry asks, closing the file with a flourish that has Shawn rolling his eyes. 

“At home,” Shawn says simply, ignoring the way Lassiter scoffs.

“Is there anyone who can verify that?” Detective Berry asks with a small furrow between her eyes.

“I don't like to kiss and tell Detective--”

“That's a no,” Lassiter cuts him off abruptly, he steps into the other Detectives space briefly to take the file from her hands and opens it again, “you called in a tip about the robbery on the 24th”.

Shawn raises an eyebrow and looks between the two Detectives expectantly.

“Implicating the owner in the robbery,” Lassiter continues in a leading tone.

“Was I wrong?” Shawn says slowly, maybe his hunch was off and they were going for ‘Teach him a lesson about wasting police resources’.

“No Mr. Spencer, you're the accomplice,” Lassiter barks out triumphantly as he leans over the table now, even further in Shawn's space.

“What?” Shawn laughs incredulously, but Berry and Lassiter share twin smirks with one another, a secret ‘Gotcha’ that makes Shawn want to bang his head on the table. 

Can they really be this stupid, this desperate to pin this on someone?

Lassiter continues, seemingly in full monologue mode now, “obviously your little enterprise went south so you sold your partner down the river”.

The answer is yes, they are that desperate.

“Hold on,” Shawn starts, waving his hand out in front of him but Lassiter is undeterred.

“How else could you know it was the owner, there haven't been any details released to the press outside of the owners interview”.

“Yeah, exactly,” Shawn says with a shrug that has Lassiter turning a horrible shade of puce.

“What does that mean?” Detective Berry cuts in before Lassiter can well and truly lose it.

“I watched the news interview, he was guilty”.

Both Lassiter and Berry pause, looking at one another again before turning back to Shawn.

Lassiter shakes his head and scoffs, “you expect me to believe you can, what, read guilt off the news?”

“You can't?” Shawn says, grinning still, a single eyebrow raised in a challenge. 

Lassiter takes two swift steps closer to the table and slams a large hand down on the surface. Shawn flinches at the sound; good to see the man's short fuse has gotten even shorter over the years, great quality in a cop.

Detective Berry glances worriedly between her partner and Shawn and, for the first time since they barged into the room,  begins to look doubtful.

At least one of them isn't a total asshole.

“Keep it up, Spencer,” Lassiter says lowly, leaning forward over the table until their noses are nearly touching. It takes everything in Shawn not to rub his nose against Lassiters --just to piss him off.

“You think making a mockery of police work is going to do you any favours?”

Shawn rolls his eyes, “you seem to be doing a bang up job all by yourself Lassie-"

“Okay!” Detective Berry says sharply, pulling her partner out of Shawns face and towards the interrogation room door, “we're going to give you some time to think about your alibi Mr. Spencer, because if you can't come up with one or a good enough reason to explain just how you knew about the owner then we won't have a choice but to arrest you”. 

Detective Berry pushes Lassiter out the door and gives Shawn a pointed look that says, ‘don't do anything stupid’, and closes the door behind them, leaving Shawn in the room alone with his reflection in the mirrored wall. 

Yeah, nothing’s changed that’s for sure. 

***

This time Shawn really can't believe his luck.

Now, even he would admit that the psychic story was a bit of a stretch but it was certainly better than jail, and hell, he had even managed to weasel a job out of the whole sordid affair.

After the McCallum arrest and a sweet little write up in the Santa Barbara Chronicle, it feels like everything is falling into place, coming up Milhouse even -just without the ugly short pants.

Not only does he get to consistently rub his skills in Lassie's face, horse around with Gus like old times, harmlessly flirt with all of his new coworkers -including Lassiter’s new partner, Juliet, but this new consulting gig actually allows him to afford a place to stay in Santa Barbara.

On top of that, he and Gus officially have an office now, a central hub to actually invite their own clients independent from SBPD. 

Psych is officially open and business is good.

It's as though Santa Barbera has been waiting for a ‘psychic’ to come along, Shawn's found a niche to flourish in and all he has to do is lie to the people beginning to push their way into something resembling friends. 

Well, maybe not exactly friends, but the potential is there.

And it’s fine, really. 

It's just a small lie.

Honestly, how different is it really considering the fact that the things he sees and notices are missed by everyone else. Why shouldn't he say it came to him in a vision? It’s more believable than the eidetic memory stuff so what’s the harm? 

So what if he isn't really psychic.

It's fine.

Well, it is until Henry shows up.

Only Murders in the Building Season 4 Theories, Part 3

This has spoilers for all episodes of Only Murders in the Building to 4x07 Valley of the Dolls.

To skip this post, please strike the ‘J’ key.

Previous Posts: OMitB Theories Part 1 - OMitB Theories Part 2

The Why - and the Why Now - of This Season

So far we've suspected that Sazz was killed for knowing something about another murder in the building, something that somehow lead to something being wrong with the movie.

But all we actually know is that she wanted to talk to Charles about something "sensitive" before she was shot, and she was retiring from stunt work - more specifically, she was transitioning into a new job. And from Charles' flashbacks this season, we know that her dream was to open a school to train the next generation of stunt folk.

We also know that the plot of land Sazz was planning on using for her school was previously a toxic waste dump that "the government cleaned up" via "Superfund".

I don't believe Sazz was killed because of the movie or the podcast. I believe Sazz was killed (and also Glenn was shot with the intention to kill him) because the toxic waste cleanup wasn't completed - the funds were embezzled, and the embezzler(s) are trying to divert suspicion to a conspiracy in the Arconia, given the murder podcast + movie + everything else going on there.

It seems like Sazz and Glen were relatively close, given how she put another dude in an arm bar until he peed himself because he kept harassing Glen with bad Irish jokes. Sazz asked Charles to keep her dream "under our hats" because the other stunt guys would laugh about it, but I think it's reasonable to think she would be recruiting other stunt people to help setup the institute--and since Glen had recently lost his face (Ben Glenroy), it makes sense that she'd start with someone like him. His "number one" was gone, and he was clearly looking for work because of it. Sazz could've pulled him in as her right hand man (aka her Number Two) for running the school after Glenroy's death left him without a job.

So, after Sazz's death, Glen could've been looking into opening the school in her honor anyway, which is why someone tried to take him out. What's more, the shooter this time tried to take Glen out with a headshot, whereas the shooter shot Sazz in the chest. Of course, Sazz was alone, so even if her death wasn't immediate, it would still take her down. But Glen was in a room full of people - if he was shot in the chest, he might've survived. (Yes, he survived due to a headplate, so we can assume the killer didn't know about it.)

That's right, it's a Murder Podcast about Real Estate!

And there is 100% evidence - critical evidence - related to the land for her institute or something - in the fondue set she got for Charles and Joy's engagement gift.

Reasoning behind this theory:

A major theme of this this season is the enormous impact of a professor/teacher on their students - moreover, there is a huge contrast between the presentation of a "mentor/mentee" as it was in Season 1/Season 2 (Cinda Canon and Becky Butler) and in Season 4, where we see the impact Dudenoff had on not just the Brother Sisters, but also tons of non-artsy students who took classes with Dudenoff

There's a juicy callback to Season 1 (Oliver insisting that nobody wants a murder podcast about real estate)

Sazz's call to Bev Melon could've easily been "dude, you're telling me you DIDN'T CAST BACULA?!" or something of similar level

The other theories around Sazz's death don't really explain the "Why Now?" question - issue with the movie? Knowledge of a previous death/murder? Neither really explains why someone had to shoot Sazz right now, at the beginning of the season.

It could of course be that Sazz knew about Dudenoff's death, assumed it was murder, and was also pulled in on a spying scheme on the podcasters by her agent. But spying on the trio now is just extra - I mean, the movie is based on Season 1, not Season 4 - so losing access to that spying stuff wouldn't kill the movie. But those are all red herrings in her death.

Dudenoff's Death

I am not very certain that Dudenoff wasn't murdered at all. He died of a diabetes-related complications (thus the "fear of sugar" or anti-sugar message in the Desecration of Alice).

But the Westies are definitely red herrings.

Unless one of them has a job in governmental toxic waste clean up - or getting Superfunds to cleanup the waste - then they would for sure be the killer. Wait, what do the members of "the Sauce family" do for a living again!?

Dominic Keating Forum - Post Archive Messages (2001-2005)

10/31/2001 I've been checking in to read all your wonderful messages and cannot express enough how flattered and utterly bowled over I am by all your kind words and attention. There isn't an actor, dead or alive, who doesn't worry whether or not they're nice to look at or whether their performance is any good, so to all of you who have taken the time to write in either to appreciate my acting ability or just the shape of my butt...I am eternally in your debt. Keep 'em comin' and tell a friend! I love you all, Dominic

11/07/2001 In answer to some important questions- So, it's official is it? I'm a Sex Symbol....Aaaah, at last! Tell that to my bank manager. And now, food. I  have to say that my Mum's Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding on Sunday is as good as it gets, which brings me swiftly to my favorite moment on the show coming to your screens shortly when my character, Malcolm Reed, gets into a hellish food fight in the mess hall with T'Pol and Hoshi resulting in a lengthy "de-con" scene which took two days to shoot....Hey, a man can dream! Love you guys, Dominic

11/17/2001 Once again, a big "Thankyou" to all of you who are posting. Not only is it great fun for me to read when I get the chance but it's also very rewarding and educational, if you will, to hear all your thoughts and opinions about the show. It's still very much in its formative stage and so all imput is helpful and very much apart of my learning curve. HOWEVER...I think it's just TOO rude of whoever(not to mention any names....you know who you are) to notice other mens' winning smiles(ie:Anthony Montgomery's) on MY message board...!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. The Webmaster has been instructed to seek ALL offenders out and line them up for a private spanking at a location to be disclosed at a later date. Incidentally, I am very chuffed that some of you have obviously seen quite a bit of my work before Enterprise. So, maybe I'll see some of you in the Lone Star state...don't be shy. All my best. Dominic

12/03/2001 Hi You Fabulous Guys! Sorry not to have acknowledged all your listings sooner but things got very busy for Malcolm on board the Enterprise. So that's good news. Sadly you'll have to wait 'till the New Year to see quite a bit more of him but at last it would seem that the powers that be are turning around and taking a closer look at the enigmatic Brit. As an actor it's been a joy and very rewarding. I love going to work. I am truly blessed and very grateful. And not least for all your fantastic support and praise for the job I am fortunate enough to be doing. Inspite of the fact that my character was not getting much of the spotlight initially you still noticed the performance and that was very, very encouraging. Especially at the beginning of such an epic journey...for me not Malcolm that is! So, thankyou all and if I don't get to post before...have a wonderfully Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Peace and Love. Dominic

12/18/2001 Thankyou to my wonderful Webmaster and all of you who contributed to the extraordinary "dossier" of Christmas Greetings. It arrived at work this afternoon and I was blown away reading all your heartfelt messages of Yuletide Cheer waitiing for Scott Bacula to come out of his trailer. Just kidding, Scott!!I'm off to London on Thursday to see my dear Mum and do some press for the launch of the show in Blighty. Back on the fourth of Jan...Be well 'till then and don't forget to leave a little something out for Santa. HoHoHo...

01/10/2002 Hoping that this year is at least as good for everyone of you as the last was for me! I just got back from the UK where I was promoting the launch of the show there, and spending some time with my family and friends. My Godson is nearly ten and I wish all of you could have seen his little face when he ripped the Christmas wrapping paper off the first official NX-01 cap to reach their shores. The reaction to the show seemed pretty good although I had to fly back to the States before its opening night, so if anyone in England(that means you Leicester Girl!)has any info then feel free to share. Good notices only please!! And by the way, a big thankyou to all of you who replied to the journalist from my home town. My Mum read the article to me over the phone a couple of days ago...I can't tell you all how proud you made her feel. As you know the new episodes will be starting soon and if my memory serves me there's some nice stuff coming up for your friend and mine so stay tuned and tell a friend! Happy New Year Everybody. Ever my best. Dominic

02/07/2002 Hi Guys...For some crazy reason my computer jammed and I was unable to access my board for a couple of weeks. But it's fine now and it was just fab to read all your praises especially about Sleeping Dogs. I really liked the episode too and thought I managed to hold my own in the decon scene! Now that's what I call drama! I particularly liked the fact that Hoshi and Reed get Starfleet regulation issue scivvies while T'Pol has hers sent to the ship direct from Victoria's "Vulcan" Secret!! It's all just a bit of fun. Life has been v. busy and rewarding and I can hardly believe that we're almost at the end of the first season. It has skipped by. So, make sure you look out for next weeks' ep...it's a good one(Feb 13). According to Rick Berman he's never been more proud of one particular show. High praise indeed....let's see if it's warranted. Thanks again to one and all. I truly love reading your messages and receiving your best wishes. Right back you!

02/16/2002 Well, what can I say? You really are the best. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected such praise, such warmth, such support for what I love to do. I am just so proud and moved that you were all so proud and moved. It's truly magical. I have read all your postings and am simply honoured that we touched your hearts and made you laugh quite as it would appear we did. It was a beautifully written episode, a joy to act, fabulously directed and skillfully photographed. As a collaborative experience it really doesn't get any better. Connor Trinneer is just the most generous and consumately talented actor I've had the good fortune to risk going "all out" with and I can only hope we get to do it again. Thank you all for your kind, kind words. It means the world to me.

02/28/2002 Thanks so much for showing up on Sunday...it was a thrill to meet some of you in the flesh. And thanks to all of you who sent word thru the "e-mail brochure". It really means alot to me. Sorry this is  so brief...work schedule is gruelling this week. All love 'till later. Dominic

04/24/2002 Hi Guys...It's been too long . What a hectic time this has been. The end of the season, the rap party, conventions and moving into my new house!! I can't tell you how exciting that whole trip has been but here I sit in "my study" tapping this message to Y'all. Thank you guys...without you none of it would be so. No sooner do I finally have a few moments to myself than I'm off to Europe to do the  con in Germany and then spend a little time with me dear ol' Mum in Leicester. Then back to Cali and thankfully back to work. In fact I heard just this afternoon that my contract had been officially renewed by Paramount. My manager was delighted...and although I suppose there was perhaps little doubt as to whether we would or not it's always a moment when the word is verified in writing. So, onward and upward...but before the second season kicks off I would like to take this opportunity to really thank each and every one of you for your remarkable support and insight into the creation of Malcolm Reed. Believe me when I tell you that it truly has been a team effort and you all played your part...rather well I might add!! From the bottom of my heart I thank you. Much Love. Dominic

10/04/2002 Well, Hello everybody!! It has been too long...It's a long boring story about getting DSL and not being able to access my AOL thereafter. Some of you out there probably can sympathize. Several experts and one good friend later the problem is over and I log on to find everything is different. Different format, different names, different peeps....Where have all my peeps gone? Where are you Nan? Where are you Dragoncait? Where are you My Laughing Muse? Not to say I don't appreciate all the newer Peeps. Always glad to welcome the newly converted! So, anyway, I wanted to say sorry for being so far away and to add that I will try to check in more regularly. Hope you you are enjoying the new season....as you can see it's been a pretty busy start for Malcolm. We're both well and having fun. All love, Dominic

12/18/2002 Thank you & Happy Holidays! Hello everybody!! I want to thank all my Peeps for the wonderful contributions you made to the Holiday book for me! I am very touched and moved that you all would take time to send me your holiday wishes. It reassures me that I am pleasing all of you with my acting and tells me how much I am appreciated by each and every one of you. I can’t tell you how much of an honor that is to me. What a fantastic prezzy! I just found out that I was voted the 9th sexiest male in Star Trek, what an honor! My Peeps are the greatest for making sure that I was accounted for. Connor Trinneer came in #1, I sure would like to see what photos voters had to judge "sexiest" from. I wish all of you Happy Holidays and a great New Year. All love, Dominic

04/14/2003 Hello my dear Peeps.... It's been a long time yet again.... my apologies. Life has been hectic. It looks like I will not be in London attending the E-1 convention. How I will miss seeing all of you there! Perhaps there will be a convention next year. So, anyway, I wanted to say sorry yet again for being so far away and I wish I could say I would be checking in more regularly but life must settle a little first. Hope you enjoy the season finale.... get as many of your friends as you can to watch it so I can have even more Peeps! You are all so terrific; there should be millions of you! All love, Dominic

09/12/2003 It has been a long time since I last posted, my apologies. I have been busy with work since the hiatus. I hope you all were keen to the season opener. The show defiantly has a harder edge to it now. There are a lot more great episodes to come so keep watching! I was reading my fan mail and discovered that I won ‘Best Actor’ in the DKEB Awards and wanted to post a thank you to all of you that voted. My many thanks to everyone that has been submitting things to the website and the fan newsletter. Keep it up so that they both continue to be places where my fans can gather and enjoy each other. Many thanks to all of you for all of your support and love. All Love, Dominic

08/25/2005 Hello my loves, I love the new forums and have been reading your posts. My fans are the best. Although I am slightly jet lagged as I just got back in to town so pardon my sluggishness, I wanted to take a moment and say hello to all of you. I have grown the facial hair to play the part in Hollywood Kills. The character is called Francis Fenway. The synopsis, in a nutshell, is that I am playing a John Waters-esque character. A man who lures young Hollywood hopefuls into his casting area where he then entraps them and makes snuff movies out of them. It is a fun role. It’s going to look good. The director is a young German director, Sven Pape, who cut his teeth with James Cameron after leaving the AFI. He’s every thoughtful and has a good eye and had a lot of success with his last movie, LA Twister. We shot the first scene today and I can tell he is going to challenge me. I look forward to being challenged. It was very nice to see all the English fans over the past few months. Great to be home. I had a great time. I intend to travel back and forth now. I hope to start doing some acting in the UK as well. Life is good and I love you all, Dominic

Funnily enough, the reason a lot of NSFW furry art doesn't really do it for me is that it isn't exotic enough.

Tons of furry art is just, like, digitigrade humans with snouts and claws. Or it'll be a lizard character with normal human boobs and two normal human dicks instead of one. If your horse character has a normal little human dick, what is even the point? I want hemepenes and baculae! The whole reason I like monsters and aliens and furries in my NSFW is because I like to explore the ways in which these characters' anatomy isn't human.

But I'm not into bestiality art, either, because that's boring, too. A whole entire normal horse is just as boring as a whole entire normal human, I want to see how the horse anatomy works on a humanoid character and how horses and lizards interact in a human-like culture.
