Something Doctor Who misses out on is how none of the companions are extremely interested with any one thing. All the companions are all “idk, I have a few ideas of stuff that’d be cool to see, but I’m up for whatever! All of space and time, woohoo! :)��

And that’s great for them and I know it makes for a better show overall but I think it would be more realistic for someone to say “I want to see every historically significant moment for my special interest, and then I want to double back for mundane bits too.”

I, for example, would be an insufferable companion.

I’d be like, “okay now take me to the place and time where they first used stirrups for the whole ride instead of just using them as a foothold to mount the horse. Then I want to watch Ray Hunt put a first ride on a colt. After that we’ll take a nap, and then let’s sneak onto set of the Return of the King to be extras in the Ride of the Rohirrim”

The Doctor would be all “please. This is the twentieth horse-centric stop in a row. We have all of space available to us. Can we leave Earth this time I’m begging you”

And my annoying ass would go “not unless there’s horses in space” roll credits

desperately trying to think of ways to make house celtigar as miserable as the rest of the valyrian houses of westeros. can we invent a new form of incest for them to try

i think being kind of bad at crab fishing is enough. like the Targaryens are doing their fall of the house of usher rotting through the floor thing, the Velaryons have their second son complex and Corlys overreaching for a star and the fall that the house never really recovers from, and the Celtigars are like finding out the direct descendants of the Borgias mostly just sell fried chicken in Dublin now. Except it’s crabcakes

Yet another Owl House drawing I never finished (of which there are many lol)

It was a dual redraw of/homage to my first ever fanart from the day the pilot episode aired (below the cut), but this time done right after the show ended and with Eda's updated look! Though I lost steam fast I kinda like it this way lol, one of those things that probably would have lost its energy if I tried to line it yknow

why can't horses drive cars?

They can, they just don’t. You can take a horse to the driver seat but you can’t make it learn stick.

Behind the harness. Driving, done right..is one of the most beautiful equestrian trades out there.

thinking about how Hector was "man-killer" to the Greeks, but "horse-breaker" to the Trojans. how it takes tenderness and patience and devotion to get a wild horse to trust you, let alone let you ride it. how hector's life and relationships to others, even the gods, are defined by devotion, and how it wins him both honor and his own death. how hector thinks he can approach achilles like a spooked horse, but achilles is a dog and not only a dog, but a dog that has nothing left. how even the wildest horse has the desire for food and comfort, but hector has never met a horse that wants to die. anyways how's your day going

drive the wedge

a slow horses gen fic about kidnapping, trauma, survival, recovery, and what a family is and isn’t

At the end of 4x05, Patrice abducts River at gunpoint. This time, they go to a remote, isolated manor where Frank is waiting for them. The slow horses do not see or hear from River again for almost five months. During that time, Frank does his level best to break River and rebuild him into a tool he can use, with Patrice as his assisting shadow. This… doesn’t really work. In fact, the process ends up breaking not River, but someone else.

Meanwhile, Slough House is on overdrive trying to find a missing colleague who the Park is all to quick to deem presumed dead and rubber-stamp his file as such. Louisa almost quits, and finds an odd solace in working alongside Lamb to try to bring their missing agent home. She is having a bad one - the maybe-loss of her best friend is tearing her apart.

It all comes to a head when Louisa follows a lead that she knows better than to follow. She is meant to be the last blow that destroys River's resolve. It doesn't shake out like that. By the time they're both rescued, it's a long road to recovery. But there is a road, and there's help along the way.

Painting the Town drives me nuts because I live in Austin where Rooster Teeth formerly was located. I drive on this highway all the time and I can’t unsee it

Like I know elevated highways exist in other cities and states but come on

I was riding in a Victorian horse-drawn carriage and my friend was driving. At one point they cracked the whip. Instead of going faster like it was supposed to, the horse stopped, turned its head all the way around, and said, “Not gonna lie, that kinda turns me on.”

I have seen Waterloo (1970) and am trying to put my thoughts into memes
