i like characterisation ask memes and blank templates for you to fill out and about a month ago i decided to make my own, this will be the final word in settling on your character's traits
i call it the Toxic Roommate Chart
you rank the character based on how fucking terrible they would be to live with using these eight easy categories. the more filled in the pie slice, the worse they are.
and here's some examples with my characters
thanks for reading and considering my chart

(These characters are from @sanctus-ingenium's novel Said The Black Horse!)
Not sure why but I really felt like drawing this scene - I guess the description of Félix' eyes and body language was evocative enough to get me to get up and draw immediately after reading it. Imagining the sight from Islin's perspective is strangely...intense, it's fitting.
#the anatomy is definitely a bit scuffed but I was moreso going for vibes to get out the mental image#loving the book so far I keep reading more and getting terribly excited#my art#said the black horse#hoping I got the clothing right also! I combed back through the chapters to see what Félix was wearing at the time#but I must have missed it#so I assumed they took off his cold outerwear because later in the chapter he's wearing something else#in the interim: half naked? possibly#also i know he has more tattoos but I didn't draw them#posting this at nearly 4 am woohoo

As a former horse girl I love the Binghorses drawn by @meltedmush because every weird and cryptid suggestion and art of them just existing makes me stop and go: no wait horses will just do that. Horses are so weird. Horse behavior is so much
Horses will just stare at you through a window and if they're smart they can figure out certain doors. There is a specific kind of surreal of watching a horse walk into your house that is both very cute and cursed. SQQ could totally wake up to a Binghorse having broken into his house and staring at him
Horses also are weird and poorly designed biologically so if they sit for too long they can actually crush their organs and won't be able to stand up again. So I can see SQQ fretting over a bingfoal and asking if they're okay. Also they don't have the ability to sense being full. It is completely possible for a horse to eat too much and die. So again fretting mother hen SQQ planning special Binghorse diet only for Binghorse to come back and drop a dead bird in front of him.
It is completely plausible that SQQ can look up one day and see a binghorse sitting in a tree. Both cows and horses will climb trees. Goats too. I don't know why. They just will. The horse loose in a hospital bit is funny because horses on their own will just do that. They do just end up in places. It feels absurd but it's true. Getting jumped scared by a Binghorse totally believable.
Imagine that SQQ sees a Binghorse with a broken leg! The death knell of any normal horse. He can frett over those beautiful terribly designed legs as Binghorse is kept suspended in a swing thing.
And then the moment you combine omnivore snatch hunter it gets even funnier because I'm certain a real horse would if it could. The fact that people are in any way convinced horses are just cute and sweet and not weird terrifying little horrors of biology will never not be funny.
#svsss#binghorse#for the record i learned horseback riding from a poly couple who worked ren fair as a kid#and like it was so weird#SO WEIRD#like watching a 2 year old black clydsdale horse just walk into a horse on its own accord and just steal a coke can will never leave me#like imagine being 9 and seeing a juvenile horse that is still 3x your height squeezing through a screen door#i brought this up with my mom about the horse breaking into a house and she said he was actually a friesian#absolutely beautiful and a complete brat#also the willingness of horses to just be covered in dirt and dust#youll clean a horse ride for 2 hrs let em loose and come back to them covered in mud and grime#my mom and i went on a whole journey to remember this horses name#it was soujke. he was such an ass#im imaging sqq doing hoof cleanings for binghorse#and brushing his skin pelt before and after a ride#soujke was so much. he almost died of collick because he kept laying on his side#horses are so dumb

Drew some hsr characters as anthro versions of animals theyre compared to/inspired from.
#Theres just a stylization freedom that comes with animals thats very different to humans#The argenti came from a comment asking me about drawing him as a pony. I dont think hes ever been compared to a horse in game tho :p#hsr#honkaistarrail#march 7th#stelle#silver wolf#argenti#aventurine hsr#ratio hsr#gallagher#black swan hsr#the idea started out with those last more animal-like doodles. but then a friend said i should make more SO :3

I wanna talk about Aliyaa's new pet/friend; So, She has A Black Norwegian forest cat, A Dark-turquoise griffin and now a dark horse! It isn’t a real horse of course, She made it from her dark magic, pure shadow / umbrakinesis, When it runs or walks its black essence breaks by the air and the winds and it gives a smokey effect which it gives a dead giveaway that is not a real being at all. I know that I tagged this Shadow Horse / Dark Horse as ‘Nox’ but I’m torn between ‘Nox’ and ‘Layl’ which means in Arabic: ‘The Night’ Nox means: Darkness.
Inspired by Pitch Black from rise of the Guardians and HighNoon Ashe skin from league of legends.

no more fandoms for things created by multi million dollar companies. you have to get wildly invested in a personal project by some random guy. you've gotta
#if said the black horse has 100 fans i am one if said the black horse has 10 fans i am one if said the black horse has 1 fan it is me etc et#for real though. go nuts over something nobody else you know talks about and Introduce Them To It#love something that doesnt have a verified twitter and a marketing team its so good for you#patch me through to palaven command

Just finished reading Gideon the Ninth.
Astonishing. Somehow, all at once: complex and well woven, painstakingly ornamented; blunt and crass and unafraid to shout it from the rooftops; wildly brutal, it doesn't pull any punches. No, not even that one.
Did I get confused multiple times? Yes. Did Tamsyn Muir pull me to my feet and say "you'll get it eventually" until I got it? Also yes. Things clicked into clarity in retrospect from the initial mystery of Canaan House to the finale and it was electrifying. I love that shit. Realizations that only dawn after it's all too late to change are as deeply satisfying as they are morbid.
I am different after this book, it's shown me things you can do with the medium of novels that is—to make a pun of it—incredibly novel! You can slam down some vernacular you find familiar and emotional, while also having sophisticated vocab at the ready to make those little moments pack more of a grounded punch.
And the supplementary content at the end was great!!
Hats off to this author for cleaving such a unique, gripping path. Woo!
#sleep rambles#the locked tomb#gideon the ninth#I'm so fucked up!!!! this ruled#it ruled so much#I love Gideon as a character so much and I love Harrow as a foil#*Her* foil#gahh!#💗💗💗#usually I'd leave a review on my other blog but I want to put this on main just because#ALSO! this means I can finally start reading Said The Black Horse which!! I'm thrilled forrr!!!!

#don't ask me how i ended up here ('was it a fic‚ K?' 'yes‚ obviously it was a fic.') but#this poem somehow makes me think of plath's 'black rook in rainy weather'#not because the poems are at all similar but because it's that feeling of a dull ruinous landscape suddenly illuminated#like. the sestet here is SO workmanlike and wearisome#yesterday. grey. eyes. wise. 'one that is ever kind' right okay you're making up the syllable count. etc etc#and then—'the fire that stirs about her‚ when she stirs‚ / burns but more clearly.'#'o she had not these ways / when all the wild summer was in her gaze.'#like. my god.#the sudden wild white beating of swan's wings. the lift of my battered enraptured heart.#anyway. 'did you know famous poet william butler yeats had his moments‚ actually??' you heard it here extremely not first.#(i mean. that said—imagine writing a poem that ascribed any qualities to a woman you couldn't reassign to a horse.)#(like. billy boy. do you love anything about her but her beauty and her ~spirit~. is she intelligent. is she funny. is she fiercely moral.)#(ah well.)#poetry#w.b. yeats
