Tumblr keeps popping up to sell me ad free dashboard. But what it doesn't understand is that me and the ads have a sort of symbiosis at this point.

The guys from the fake gameplay trailers for a predatory mobile app are my blorbos

Sharing this Horse Coat Color Calculator because it's fun to play with, and I find it helpful in breaking down Why Is a Horse This Color?

This is completely off the wall, and idk TOO much abt horse genetics or even history, but from what I DO know, chestnut is a super common, considered p basic color but it's essentially recessive to... anything else? Literally any other coat base and/or modifier? Is that right? And based on cave paintings and Przewalski's, it doesn't seem like the original, primitive, wild horse breeds would've been chestnut. They had more bay or dun coloration, primitive markings, etc. So do u think part of the reason chestnut is so common is bc, at some point in human history, it WASN'T considered this basic plain jane color, it was actually like "OOOOH, this horse is RED!! It's JUST RED!!" and people tried to breed for that and it became more common bc it WAS considered special at some point? And then ofc some horses were used to establish breeds where types and colors were restricted and bam, proliferation, but my point is, it feels like chestnuts get overlooked a lot as rly plain, but do u think at one point they were considered special and sought after? idk im emotional i saw that post abt how pigeons were once loved and cared for and now they're treated like rats with wings and idk why i started thinking abt chestnut horses but do u ever think something similar happened??? im drunk and sorry

you sound like me when i'm manic i can't give an honest answer cause i am not a genetics nerd and haven't looked into the history but i mean they could have been like "hell yeah dude it's red, lets name it ruby.. and that one too" thus creating the never ending cycle of red mares named ruby

I spent hours HOURS! today thinking about the most beautiful extraordinary character in slow horses season 4. that insanely gorgeous coat river wore for his frolic in the french countryside. there are full news articles written about it now lmao. that coat is A STAR. they need to make a best coat award and just give it to it. the lines, the shapes, the gusto, the vivacity, the way it falls with river head first into wet tires cuz he’s a lil silly spyboy making the poor meow meow a hot sad pookie, the humor, the zest, the je-ne-sais-quoi oui oui of it all. truly the best looking piece of outerwear I’ve seen on tv. no notes. perfect.
