one of my long-term questions for fantasy worldbuilding is why so many fantasy worlds seem to have inexplicably large friesian populations
#like i get that they're fancy black dressage horses#but there are so many fun horse breeds out there#and all everyone goes for are friesians...#this is partially fueled by my lifelong love of arabian horses > all others#but c'mon u've got marwari u've got fjord you've even got Straight Up Gold Akhal Teke#anyway. campaign for more horse variety in fantasy movies/shows#personal

question tag game!
Thanks for the tag 馃挄 @itwasntimethatdidit40 @thundermartini @ace-turned-confused and @deviseren !!
i once again am reminiscing about myspace and xanga surveys heheheh
do you make your own bed? i wake up late and don't look back as i launch out of bed most days, so no
favorite number? 8? 7? 36? 2? idk man they all got their own vibes i don't discriminate (except for 51 being divisible by 17 that feels against nature somehow)
what's your job? to be non-specificish, manage a program that works with court-involved and incarcerated youth
if you could go back to school, would you? i usually make it about 3 years max before i go back to school to change career fields, i get bored or disillusioned and also struggle with finding something interesting enough to dedicate so many hours of my life into and have it also pay the bills
can you parallel park? daily, street parking only at my place unfortch
can you drive a manual car? never tried, tho i was very concerned about this for a solid year to the point where i had dreams that i had to figure it out to save everyone?? eventually i just decided i knew how to in my dreams so??
do you think aliens are real? gotta be
what's your guilty pleasure? hm, i try to own and embrace all the weird things like @ace-turned-confused said, especially if i think they're funny!
tattoos? some japanese trad, american trad/sorta neo trad, working on filling up the rest of my arms when i get the $
favorite color? black, and also yellow
do you like puzzles? sure, i like games with puzzles like zelda, or like jigsaw puzzles? fun to do with friends, hard to focus on alone
any phobias? I'd if it counts but the sound effects of limbs snapping in movies, like when it's a horror movie and all the limbs snap in the wrong directions - NASTY that shit gives me lingering intrusive thoughts hahaha
favourite childhood sport? i am the least competitive person ever. i liked floor hockey? i showed horses for a few years, not like dressage or anything fancy- but rather the most boring of all equestrian events (to watch) western pleasure!
do you talk to yourself?
I forgot to answer this one the first timeeee, um in my head always? Not as much out loud, but I will talk to the dogs heheh.

oh fuck oh shit this inspired an entire college au
winnie taylor would major in ancient studies and theology, and would minor in like... math maybe. something with patterns. sociology maybe?? she'd also learn like 3 languages while at college while like, not ever leaving her dorm. she's a campus cryptid cuz you see her all the time but you're not sure where she lives, when she eats or if she even goes to class?? she's just on the green playing guitar or skateboarding a lot?? but if you come up to her and ask for help on your german homework she'll say "fine, meet me in this spot on sunday morning at 3am" and if you show up she'll speak fluent german the whole time, and she won't do your homework for you but she'll give you ideas and help you work out what YOU think on the topic, and she'll tell you funny puns in that language or just give you really specific yet interesting life advice. she has lots of piercings, tattoos and scars, and if you ask she'll tell you she got the gash on her shoulder from a monster and she won't laugh when she says it. also she once got struck by lightning and claims to have died for exactly seven minutes, which has completely changed her outlook on life, death and the universe. sometimes people will check on her in her dorm (if they actually know where she lives) if she hasn't been seen around, and she'll be lying on her bed in complete darkness and tell you to fuck off. two days later she'll have written a novella-length essay about the intricate relationship between different types of animals and plants in mid to late yahwistic religious imagery. every professor that interacts with her is both disturbed and intrigued by her ability to show up maybe twice a month and do every assignment late- but everything she turns in is INCREDIBLE. she has two friends named clementine and montana that she hangs out with regularly, and sometimes people see her with a few guys from a smaller local college an hour away, but that's about it except for ammit and, later, her girlfriend bela.
bela talbot did actually go to a university and she has a masters in like. finance or something. but she minored in psychology and dabbled in different religions during her college years. but for this im gonna say she planned on being a STEM major and ended up taking a linguistics class and LOVED IT so now she's deep into obscure languages and sociology... giving her a great opportunity to meet winnie 馃憖. her teachers think she's smart as a whip and great with her words, but they differ on whether that's a good thing seeing as she tends to use it to talk over other people in her classes or dismantle their arguments so quick their heads spin. her fellow students are terrified of her and she's very aware, and part of her takes pride in it while the other part is... less excited that no one ever wants to talk to her after class. also i think it'd be funny if she was into equestrian competition because she would go so hard for it and it'd be cute to see her in a fancy dressage outfit and smelling like horses and sweat going to meet up with winnie on the green, who basically lives in two tee shirts and pairs of black jeans and always smells a little like storms. no one understands why they're even friends, much less dating.
meg "ammit" masters would study anthropology and would go to every single class all excited to learn about cultures n stuff, and all their professors would love them cuz they're always asking good questions and they're insightful, but all the other students think they're kinda stuck up and that they have a superiority complex when they're actually just really bad at the whole friends thing. people who actually talk to and get to know them think its so funny that the 7'1" massive jock who boxes with the pro teams for fun and works out for hours every day is, like, obsessed with art and jewelry and clothes. they do modeling for the art classes, and most of their friends are art history majors who they can infodump back and forth with. they can sometimes be spotted smoking weed behind the dining hall while winona taylor does kickflips, listening to her nonsensically ramble for hours about god just to reply with "damn that's so crazy. you wanna beat the shit out if each other?" and winnie, five foot nothing and always looking a little pudgy instead of strong, always says yes. (she doesn't lose easy, even though she loses often; she's quick and smart and knows how to move even if ammit's got a hundred and fifty pounds on her.) every single person that interacts with ammit for longer than ten seconds loves them a little despite their sort of blank expressions and lack of actual social skills.
abbie masters, ammit's younger sister, is majoring in philosophy and biology, and she's the sort of red lipstick, black leather jacket femme that everyone's eyes land on when she walks in the room. she's never seen without a little makeup and her hair done perfectly. she drinks like it's her last night on earth and half the campus knows at least one person she's made out with at a party or flirted with at some school thing. no one has ever seen her study or do homework, but she never flunks out even though her teachers seem to hate her guts. she's here for a good time, not a long time. her second year, she almost gets kicked out for a huge fight, but when it turns out the other guy assaulted someone, things get a little sticky; she threatens to go public that the school's punishing her for "protecting the victim" and they let her stay if she shuts up. (within a month, the guy's been harassed and heckled so much he transfers across the country. no one is sure how abbie had enough friends to organize this.)
enoch bat jared is a political science and psychology double major who stays off campus for the most part, apparently living with his older brother and mom in some fancy mansion close by. he hangs around the library to study sometimes, but when he's bored he's usually seen wandering around the greenhouses or apiaries on campus. most people stay out of his way due to his intense glares at anyone who tries to talk to him without a good reason, and his uncomfortable charm. despite this, he's got connections to most groups on campus and in the student government, and he's the guy to go to if you screw up and need to cover it up or get bailed out- but there's always a price. rumor has it he covered up a murder once and no one really believes it, but no one's gonna ask either. remember how in middle school there was a complicated economy and whole social customs built around the gum trade? that's enoch but on a way larger, way darker scale.
what would the major/minor be of your characters if they went to post secondary?
