#hard to find horses

[manhwa-horses]

Hey there! I don’t have any interesting or strange horses to share with you, so sorry to bother you. :c

I found your blog due to you also using the manhua tag, but I thought I’d just let you know all the horses you’ve shared so far are from manhwa!

I didn’t want to impulsively send this ask so I did scroll through your blog a little to confirm, and I also saw the post you reblogged about manhua vs manhwa vs manga and donghua vs aeni vs anime, where you tagged it mentioning how you read these comics in English so you aren’t sure of the origins.

That’s kind of fair, especially since most of the manhwa you post have settings that are inspired by Europe, so the names can’t easily identify whether it’s Korean or Chinese…

But beyond some telltale visual signs (manhwa for women in these European settings are often very sparkly, with 3D CGI assets on even the clothes—eg lace or other detailing—as well as for the backgrounds—like the horses you post (and most webcomics do use 3D in the background, but there is a je ne sais quois for manhwa), while action and BL manhwa usually use thicker black lines and lips and bodies), there’s also the website Baka-Updates! It tracks comics of all kinds and will tell you the origin of a comic (manga, manhua, manhwa).

Most things on Webtoon will also be manhwa, because it started off as a Korean company, so while some western webcomics are also published there, it doesn’t have many manhua from China. Manhua are usually posted to sites like Bilibili or Kuaikan, and while the former had its own English app for a while and the latter usually licenses their stuff to INKR or Tapas, it’s true quite a few manhua still remain inaccessible to the west. Even fan translations barely scratch the surface of all the manhua out there.

As you can see, I’m a manhua fan and visit the manhua tag pretty often, but due to it being pretty underrated, it’s kind of hard to find stuff on it in the western side of the Internet sometimes (especially when people do still mistag manhua as manhwa). So since I can stumble on quite a few of your posts but they all feature manhwa instead of manhua, I thought I’d just let you know!

Interesting. Thanks for the feedback! I’ll have to check out Baka-Updates in the future. :)

Mihawk, King and Cavendish all definitely shop at the same bespoke members only warehouse that only specially invited people can find (we know this because shanks is forever trying to find this warehouse so he can get gifts for Mihawk that he will actually wear but shanks’ fashion is so atrocious he can never find it)

And I refuse to hear otherwise. I don’t make the rules 🤷🏿‍♀️

More fic ideas that I have absolutely no intention of writing.

Knight Bakugou who’s positioned to guard you. The King wants the best to protect his Princess, and Bakugou is the best. Besides, it’s not like the man had a choice, he doesn’t want to lose his job— or his life.

You hate to admit that Bakugou is good at his job, much better than the men that had tried to guard you before. Making it difficult for you to sneak out into the gardens in the evening to watch the stars, or to sneak into town for the weekend festivities.

You should hate him for ruining the routine you’d managed to work yourself into over the years, for stealing away the freedom that you’d rewarded yourself when no one else would offer you the same luxury. But somehow you can’t force yourself to dislike him, there’s something behind his cold and brash personality that has you inquisitive to find out more. Enjoying trying your best to rile him up or push his buttons— spilling your evening tea over his pristine boots, or dropping your towel in front of him when you prepare for your evening bath.

Knight Bakugou knows exactly what you’re trying to do, and he’s determined he won’t fall for your tricks— which is why he’s just as surprised as you are when he finds himself outside with you past curfew in the castle grounds watching the stars. But instead of staring up at the gorgeous night sky, he finds himself turning his head to the side to see how the moonlight glows against your skin. It’s just another thing that has now woven its way into your daily routine together, and as he walks you back to your quarters each night you like to fool yourself that it’s because he wants to, not because his life depends on it.

It isn’t long before the King begins to bring in suitors from neighbouring towns to vie for your hand in marriage. None of which are out of love, but a necessity to strengthen alliances between armies. Which is why it doesn’t matter if you even like any of them, because the choice won’t be yours. The men are scheduled to fight for your hand, and as you sit and wait for them to joust you notice Bakugou clad in full metal armour across the field.

The King positioned him as his strongest guard— because he is.

A man worthy enough to beat his strongest soldier is a man worthy enough to take his daughters hand in marriage. And yet as you watch every man come head to head with Bakugou he beats every single one.

And you think Bakugou has just beat these men because he wants to show how strong and powerful he is, but secretly it’s because he’s so in love with you.

You can’t tell whether your father is proud or annoyed at the fact, especially when Bakugou knocks the son, young Midoriya, off his horse. The man that you believed the King wanted to you marry, the most suitable alliance available.

It’s a few weeks later when Bakugou is sent away on a mission by the King. The head of an army sent out to pillage a neighbouring village who threaten to compromise the power of you’ve forged.

The morning he’s scheduled to leave is the first time he lets you kiss him, he lets you get that close. As though he’s wondering whether he’ll even return home himself. Standing in his quarters in the lower part of the castle, clad in your pyjamas and your feet freezing against the cold stone as he cradles you in his arms. Pouring every ounce of emotion into the kiss as he finally allows himself to have you, even if just for a few selfish moments. Bakugou reckons it’s worth the risk of dying, to feel your lips on his again. A fellow guard, Kirishima catches you both as he takes Bakugou away from you— watching them ride off on horseback as you still feel the warmth of him surrounding you.

You stay awake each night wondering whether he’s even still alive too— whether you’ll ever see him again. The new guards are just as useless as before and you find yourself longing for his safe return.

It’s two months before your father has another man lined up as a potential suitor. Wondering who might fight for your honour now that Bakugou is gone, but you’re shocked when the King says there’s no need for such friviolity. That the wedding is scheduled, and it’s the right reason to strengthen the Kingdom. It’s not for love, it could never be when your heart belongs to Bakugou.

And even if you told your father about your feelings for his guard, it would be issuing Bakugou his own death sentence if he even managed to make it home at all.

But fate really can be a cruel, fickle thing— and as fate would have it Bakugou returns home the day you’re standing at the altar wearing a pretty wedding dress like you’d dreamed about, while you’re waiting to be betrothed to another man.

spotted on the wall behind the white horse theater!!

Happy one year to Bolt in the Blue by @valeriianz ! Truly the best band au fics I've ever read, I am Endless' #2 fan forever (#1 is Hob, of course) 💙🎸✨

+ alt. colors for the flyer & other scans:

i love taking advantage of my art uni's massive (MASSIVE) scanners for literally anything i can. it's got the most gorgeous grit and scan banding that photoshop trickery cant replicate (though i try lol). so, yes, i literally printed out the b&w flyers, scanned them in, then added color and printed them again to stick on my wall haha.

when digitally adding color, i wanted it to really feel like black ink on colored paper instead of trying to print on color paper and then scan it again (i have done this before idk). i think the xerox-y look is pretty convincing! the green, pink, and purple are my personal favs.

an irl friend suggest i try non-black-ink versions to see what i liked. i think they look cool but some of the text gets a bit lost. still, i like the pale yellow+red ink one. (this almost makes me want to try riso printing this to see what it'd look like 👀👀).

^ this is what the white horse metal barrier edit looked like before I added the Huji Cam filter lol. it wasn't feeling convincing enough like this, so i actually took a photo of my laptop screen with the filter and somehow that looked more real than the actual shot from the show lol. (also, because i've stared at this screenshot for so long, the orange/yellow June 12th poster? is everything on it a reference?? loll)

anyway, had a lot of fun making this!! feel free to print if you want!! READ THE FIC EVERYONE GO READ BOLT IN THE BLUE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So another little what if/future canon event. Lyanna was supposed to have been half centaur when riding her horse. How much of that was latent warg abilities? And if Jon inherited that I can totally picture little preteen Jon taking the biggest, meanest, wildest horse in the red keeps stables for a joy ride before anyone can stop him and the horse refuses to let anyone else ride him so that's his horse by default. I feel like Daemon would be so proud after he gets past the "HE COULD HAVE BRROKEN HIS NECK!" (like Viserra did I think?) Induced heart attack.

I mean, Rhea literally died after being thrown off a horse! I can absolutely see Daemon going WHY WOULD YOU RIDE A HORSE WHEN YOU CAN RIDE AN INTELLIGENT DRAGON WHO WOULD NEVER FLING YOU TO YOUR DEATH BY CARELESSLY TRIPPING OVER A ROCK?

(Meanwhile, Jon doing death-defying maneuvers on his dragon = proudly beaming Daemon.)

WHITECALF SPOTIFY PLAYLIST(S) DROP

^Heres the short, selective and organized playlist for people who can't handle themed playlists with more than 20 songs and no internal order

^Here's the playlist for elite music listeners who love incoherent, lengthy, and wholly unordered playlists dealing with dozens of subject matters at once, most of which is at least Somewhat relevant to the story/characters

^Here's the very, very long playlist consisting of every single song that I even remotely associate with the story (often in the capacity of 'I was listening to this a lot while working on it' or 'this is funny') and at least a dozen songs I slapped in arbitrarily because I wanted to listen to them.

Guys. Fellas.

Rather than trying to prove Gaylor is real and that Taylor Swift is actually just trying to secretly signal that she’s a lesbian, why don’t y’all just go and listen to openly queer artists instead of forming conspiracies to try and make your faves queer instead?

Like it says so much about how people would rather waste their time trying to prove she’s queer instead of y’know looking into queer artists and their music.

It comes across as if y’all don’t actually care about LGBT artists, you just feel like you need some justification as to why you enjoy your faves.

Another little inconsequential red hood thing and I'll admit that I'm decently biased but it irks me to see the whole "Jason can't shut up about his death/he makes his death everyone else's problem" take really frequently because he simply does not do that enough for it to be a thing in like any actual Red Hood story.

It's a thing you see sometimes in modern annuals/comics with large casts, particularly if a writer doesn't seem super confident with writing all of the characters that they're working with or if he's just a background character in this one, because with comics it's quicker to reduce a character to recognizable landmarks than to try and work out a whole new complex voice if you don't really need to, so it's tire iron, Jane Austen, Joker, and death, and it's all written out in dialogue because every character in a group event can't have their own internal monologue, but like. That's pretty much it. UTRH is the establishing event for Jason Todd post death so of course a lot of it is about his death, although it's arguably about the lack of response to his death more than his death itself, and he certainly makes it Bruce's issue but one beef doesn't make a trend. Plus if his death is anyone's issue beyond his own Bruce and Joker are like the number one guys whose issue it is. He THINKS about his death a ton in Lost Days, but it doesn't really reflect externally on any of his interactions besides with Joker, which again, that's justified and relevant beef. Teen Titans 29 is more about his place in the hero community/feeling like he was an outsider even before the bomb/Tim being the new robin than about his death, and side note, that being counted as an attempt on Tim's life also bugs me. He beat him up and then left of his own volition. That's not an assassination attempt its called a fight, albeit a sneaky and unfair one. But anyways. I can't speak on Battle for the Cowl because i haven't read it, both that and Batman and Robin 2009 don't really compel me, but it's entirely possible that's an outlier to my point seeing as I kinda sorta haven't read it and don't care to lmao. Even New 52 (although HIGHLY unpopular) and Rebirth/Dawn of DC/Whatever we're doing now Red Hood content don't really have him talking to people about it besides the occasional little quips. He might make stances that were developed because of his death other people's problem, like in the Mia Dearden Green Arrow situation with the "getting involved in other people's business" issue, but acting like he makes specifically his death everyone else's problem is ignoring all of the perfectly valid actually canon things he makes other people's problem. Most of the unpleasant traits he brings to the table are a result of his death and the sense of abandonment and betrayal that came with it, but that doesn't mean he's bringing his death into it when he acts unpleasantly any more than he's bringing his birth into it when he shows up in the first place. The consequences do not equal the event. All this to say it's irritating when people say the character is grating because he doesn't stop whining about his death when that kinda just indicates to me that they're working off fanon based on fanon based on kinda mid batman annual.

Speaking of Krypto and the cat, doesn't Kara have a magic horse?

She sure does, and she loves him soooo much. Haha, I did reference the horse once here:

I won't be drawing the Super horse though. I'm not drawing horses in my free time you can't MAKE ME

bro wtf i loaded rdr2 & while in big valley, got attacked by a cougar. fair, i was in cougar territory. killed it. started heading up to the nearby trapper to sell the hide & carcass. on the way there, got mauled by a grizzly bear.

thought that was weird, bcs i thought the bear only spawned if the cougar wasn't there. shrugged it off. killed it. started going to trapper again.

sold cougar, went back to bear to skin it, BUT ANOTHER BEAR SPAWNED IN THE SAME PLACE & MAULED ME. oh btw both times my bolt action turned into a varmint after it mauled me ??

anyways i sell them. leave. IMMEDIATELY WHEN I GET ON THE PATH A PACK OF WOLVES SURROUND ME and right before i fire my first bullet BOUNTY HUNTERS SPAWN & THEY HEAR. i run, shoot the wolves, the bounty hunters try killing me so i kill them — MORE SPAWN IN THE SAME AREA ? and in the middle of it, my horse just fucking Levitated Straight Into The Air & Died Mid-Air before we both fell

finish off the hunters & revive my horse

& IMMEDIATELY AFTER WHILE I'M SKINNING THE WOLVES MORE SPAWN ???????
