3, 16, 28 for the Asks? :)

3. Where is my home stable? Do you favour a specific spot or does it change every once in a while?

My current home stable is in Firgrove... StarShine Ranch to be exact... I tend to choose the most quiet places... and prettiest imo. But I normaly change every once in a while if there is an event or festival. (or current aesthetic that i have)

16. Which Championship is your favorite? Why?

I can't say I really have a favorite... but If i had to choose I'd say either Moorland or Valedale. They are the easiest for me lmao

28. Which character from the gamedo you hate with your entire existence and why?

Jamie Olivetree or whatever. I had a bug once where she had locked me in her fucking kitchen and I was not able to get out. I couldn't quit the game or anything. Had to Alt F4 the game and contact the support lol. Since then I've had beef with her and I want her gone. Lock her up in the druid cell for kidnapping.

11, 16, 26 for the SSO Asks?

Thanks for asking! ^^🌱

11. At the moment I have only seven horses. I know it's very small, but I don't buy other horses, not because I don't have sc or I don't like coats/breeds/animations. It's just important to me that the horse becomes not just a transport, but a character, so that they have their own story related to the story of my mc. It's just my position, nothing more :") But I plan to purchase a couple more horses of my favorite breeds in the future

16. I rarely participate in Championships, but I like the New Hillcrest Championship. It is one of the most difficult for me because of the fog and the swarm of bees, but it always becomes joyful when it turns out to pass it without mistakes! I love challenging races and quests x)

26. To be honest, I would like to have more interaction with them. I am an evil creature who loves to ruin the lives of the guys from GED and DC and I miss the times when we fought with mr. Kembell in Silverglade and helped CHILL in Epona.

I also think that Ms. Drake is a much more complex and interesting character than Mr. Kembell. She is smarter, able to think through her actions in advance and keeps the entire team of GED employees at bay. Whereas Mr. Kembell acts like an ordinary billionaire who thinks money will solve any problem. So I prefer Ms. Drake :)

✨📚 🛸? :)

✨️ [STARS] -> Does your Character have any powers? Including anything beside what is known from current SSO Lore (the Circles, etc.)

Actually, no! Despite her connection to the Aideen keepers, she has no magical abilities of any of the Circles or other powers. So aside from the usual skills she has nothing special, just enthusiasm and a desire for adventure :) 📚 [BOOK STACK] -> What is your Original Character's story? Not just in SSO's canon main story - what is your Character's deal in general?

July has several "versions" of her story, as she is still one of the characters in my universe based on the SSL. But since this is specifically about the SSO version of her now, I'll tell you more about it, although it's still very unclear. July was born in Jorvik City, to a fairly ordinary family. As a teenager, city life bored her, and information about a horse camp in Moorland came to her attention. She decided to go there for the summer, but ended up staying there for a long time, involved in a story you all know. During these adventures she met many new friends, including Silver, a guy who also got caught up in the maelstrom of events (maybe I'll tell you more about him later!). They eventually grew close, but Silver was constantly trying to keep July from getting into more trouble on her own head. As I said, July has no magical abilities, but she enjoys getting involved in new ventures, so she participated in many soulrider's adventures.

And 🛸 [U.F.O] was already in the previous post :)

👥🛸

thank you so much for the ask! 👥 has been answered here.

🛸 [U.F.O] -> daryl never was the type to believe in the supernatural, and although she was raised in the way of aideen (has the ssoblr decided on a name for her religion?), she wasn't practicing or super religious. her world was kind of flipped upside down when she found out about the existence of magic, and she was very defensive of her beliefs being challenged at first. after she accepted the first one, though, it became more like... "well, this might as well happen at this point." like, if one thing is possible, why not everything else, right?

STOP SHE SO CUTE WHATTTTT

[catboygirljoker]

thinking about luxu in like Any of his vessels when he's not in possession of no-name like was bragi goofing/zoning out in class looking at it up on the mantle (laughing it off as typical 'looking at the clock to make class end sooner' thing)? ugh

i think a lot about him looking into the gazing eye like he's looking into the camera on the office when something dumb happens lmao. or like. talking to the eye, privately. if it's just in one room most of the time, maybe he gets the Master caught up on things. tells him about the state of the city and the worlds. and asks him, quietly, occasionally, if he thinks he's doing a good job, and when he'll come back.

i also think a lot about how isolated he seemed from the MoM's other apprentices, and also how he seemed to have the closest relationship with the MoM. that perhaps the Master, knowing what role he would give to Luxu, needed Luxu to feel as though the only person he could really trust and feel close to was the Master, in order for Luxu to still be invested in this one-sided relationship for hundreds of years or more.

soul rider horses make me think of weezer sometimes

[dorianwolfforest]

I really want to hear all your points regarding hating Sabine I’m super curious.

I don't really hate her as a character, I hate how she is written.

I could start off with the fact that she's an incredibly aggressive, "beastly" character who is also non-white, with native american features, which is a harmful stereotype against native americans (See: the violent savage stereotype, not only something apparent in media (Twilight, for example), but real, tangible racism and propaganda in the united states that is still rampant) and even if she's not native american, she's still an aggressive, beastly non-white character, but I don't know if I am the person to make those claims.

Moving on, she's just poorly managed by the company. She's an evil murderer, a person lacking empathy, someone who seeks to destroy Jorvik and all it holds dear because she is promised power... and she's upset that she doesn't get to play with the other kids on the playground. She doesn't like how the riding clubs are mean to each other. She releases balloons because people are having fun. She's either the darkest, most twisted person on the island or she gets her feefees hurt because other people are having fun without her.

The way they write her, she becomes an extreme hypocrite. The other riders are bad and mean for not letting her participate in the games? She imprisoned someone in a world that would slowly and horrifically kill them. Think exposing someone to severe radiation damage knowingly and with malintent. Yet Loretta is a meanie because she thinks Ginny's outfits suck.

The other part of it is the community response. She is sexualized only and merely for her body, with her audience completely ignoring her character, her traits, her personality and her arc, only really acknowledging her "dark" side if they can sexualize it. "but they did it to ydris too", you might claim, ignoring that ydris knowingly, consensually flirted with the main character and took on the persona of someone who enjoyed and wanted the attention. Sabine would hate sabine stans, and the stans ignore that and push her personality aside because she's hot. It's incredibly demeaning to boil her down only to her body and then act as though she is something she's not, namely a person capable of loving anything other than herself and her quest for power, something that is well established in the lore of her character.

The social media team, in response to the fan admiration, has played up Sabine's character and her appearances on their social media sites, and the fandom has gone so far as to influencing the writers into making her more easy to enjoy. The writers (there are no writers at SSE, but that's besides the point) have gone back on what Sabine is meant to be and represent so that the fans will engage with their story more, and the socmed team has pushed her to the forefront of their existence, making several tweets and tiktoks about her and how hot she is. I personally believe that this goes against what any self-appointed feminist company should be doing, and that SSE has a wonderful cast that deserves the spotlight far more. Jill Goldspur, for example, is a queen and she deserves recognition.

All in all, I don't hate Sabine, I hate everything that surrounds her and, as such, I wish she would simply disappear from the story so I don't have to fucking deal with it anymore.

6,27,29 for the ask prompts!!

Sorry for delaying the answers ><

6. I like big and fluffy horses! North swedish (of both generations), shire, clydesdale, irish cob, wild jorvik, ardennes... I can't choose one of these breeds, I like each one in its own way :>

27. There are quite a few of them :') Some of my favorite characters are Galloper, Fripp and Rania, but I also love all the Soul Riders and their horses very much. I used to like Anne and Linda especially among the Soul Riders, but now Lisa and Alex also seem cool and interesting to me and I can't choose one person

29. I reeeally love different inaccessible and mysterious locations: the mountains of Jor, hidden runestones, caves, druidic places... Especially the Secret Stone Circle (especially in the Starshine Legacy version) and the Ancient Tree on the South Hoof

But if I had the opportunity to be on Jorvik, I would like to go EVERYWHERE

🌿

Thank you very much for asking!!

🪄🌳🛸 for the asks? :)

🪄 [MAGIC WAND] - Does your Original Character know about the magic powers existing across Jorvik? Do they know of the Sisterhood and the Keepers, of the Herds in Wild Woods, or Pandoria? If not, how do they explain some of the things happening around them (e.g. whatever Devil's Gap got going after the latest Main Quest)?

July knows about Pandoria, the Sisterhood, the Keepers, and most things magical on Jorvik. She isn't privy to all the details, but she often helps the Keepers of Aideen. I think usually when some shit happens, she only finds out about the aftermath already, riding by and being like "oh, I see you need help once again! I'm just free". But occasionally she's involved in the events themselves (I think there was a similar situation in Devil's Gup: July volunteered to help with a small case, thinking her role would be unimportant, but in the end what happened was what happened. 🌳 [TREE] -> How is your Original Character's connection to nature and the island? Are they attuned to it, similar to the Wild Wardens? Are they incapable of building that connection they are 'supposed' to have?

Julie is not someone who has a special connection to nature. She finds it beautiful, admires it. She likes to walk through forests and fields and enjoy it, but no more. In this respect, she is closer to ordinary everyday people.

🛸 [U.F.O] -> What is your Original Character's opinion on Pandoria and the 'travel' through time and space taking place across some places in Jorvik? What about other legends and myths of Jorvik that they got to meet in person (e.g. Jon Jarl)?

Ju had been in a long shock after having to travel to Pandoria for the first time. She was taken there to help and back up in case help was needed. And for a long time she didn't believe it was possible. It was one thing to see magic on a familiar island that had become familiar, but it was another thing to have a different world. When she was there, she felt something completely new and strange to her, and the environment itself was obviously very unusual for her. She recovered quickly enough from the shock and wanted to repeat the journey, but she was in no hurry to do so. It was a dangerous place, after all. She had a similar reaction to every unusual mythical thing she encountered in her adventures. In the beginning, she wondered about rune stones, ghosts, other magic. Was just as shocked by it! She couldn't believe what she was seeing. But the more she encountered such things, the more she "got used to it", these things became familiar. But no less amazing.
