I've been wanting to make a build-your-own-horse genetics simulator for a while. It wouldn't just be pick and choose colours and patterns but require people to literally build the horse by the colour genetics (E/e, A/A, etc) (with explanations for each).
I wish I could get past the stage where I'm trying to work out the UI, bc all the coding and tech I can get to work learning (the buttons up there move and change), but the UI has stumped me enough to not work on it for months :')
The horse example is also static because he was more a concept placeholder but I really wanna see about making a walk cycle (I am capable but ugh effort).
Anyway, thought some other people might be interested in the concept. Feel free to comment or reblog with thoughts.

It was flagged as "Eksplicit", shadowbanned, and every reblog turned invisible. The flagging is also unappealable.
Happy Trans Day of Invisibility from your tumblr mods!
Only found out because I tried to reblog with an update from your local trans unicorn siblings!
I cannot even LINK to my old comic without every new post getting deleted.
And yet, we will CONTINUE to exist, and grow, and find each other. We will be visible up to and beyond our own deaths. Because we stand for love. We love ourselves and each other and that just makes us stronger.

Personal blog rant about semaglutide, tirzepatide, hopefully soon retatrutide, and to a lesser extent their older siblings, aka the "GLP-1 medications" and how polarizing they seem to be. Obligatory "this is my professionally-informed yet still very much personal opinion and I am not your doctor." Also I can only speak to my experiences with the USA medical system. Etc.
I have been seeing posts floating around that are demonizing using GLP-1s for weight loss, and it's really starting to bother me. They typically follow the general tone of "this is a diabetes medication and anyone (let's actually imply, probably a wealthy person who's a mostly-average weight) who uses it for weight loss (surely for aesthetics) is taking it out of the hands of a diabetic who is now going to suffer." It doesn't help that pop culture marketing of GLP-1s is such that I've met people who don't even realize they are indeed originally diabetes medications.
I have a number of thoughts on this, as someone working in a critically medically under-served part of the country with disproportionately large swathes of the population being of low socioeconomic status.
Firstly: Actually, I can't reasonably prescribe it to most people for weight loss anymore. The recent budget cuts to government health insurance mean that it is no longer covered for weight loss as of January 1, 2026, only for diabetes, so my entire January and February have had a tone of, "Yeah, I'm sorry, if you want to keep taking this it's going to cost you several hundred dollars a month." to a group of people who were really benefiting from their medication. Which does mean, yes, that I haven't prescribed it to a single person that would be able to afford it out-of-pocket.
Secondly: [Insert wealthy celebrity or longevity bro here] is not even remotely the primary population taking this medication for weight loss. I am absolutely prescribing it to people with diabetes, and in much larger numbers than for obesity. I haven't been a doctor that long and I've already gotten several people off of insulin using Mounjaro. Do you know how amazing that is? How unthinkable it was twenty years ago?
However, I am also prescribing it to:
People with obstructive sleep apnea who can't breathe at night (and are subsequently reliant on a CPAP machine that they may or may not tolerate, and might be very hypertensive due to their OSA, which may be causing development of heart failure, etc)
People with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease who are on their way to developing liver cirrhosis (a horrible condition to deal with)
People whose non-negotiable bipolar medication combos are causing them to gain rapid amounts of weight
People who are BMI > 40, wheelchair-bound, with chronic pain that is not caused solely by weight, but which sure has improved with weight loss
People who are, due to their weight, well on their way to developing diabetes, or have hypertension, or high cholesterol, who are now getting to lower their doses or even come off of multiple medications! (I have one guy who now takes three less pills every day and has halved his statin dosage thanks to his tirzepatide)
And yeah, sure! People who want to lose weight, but have failed adequate response with exercise and dietary interventions, and have a BMI > 30 (in my area, usually over 35). Guess what? BMI > 35 with a related comorbidity and a BMI > 40 is sufficient indication for considering bariatric surgery. That means that, statistically, the lifelong risk of bariatric surgery has been deemed to be on average less than that of continuing on at that BMI. I am not ever here to body shame people but I am also not going to pretend that there are no health effects to having that high of a body fat percentage either because doing so would be both unscientific and a disservice to my patients
Thirdly: Are we now pretending that "medication was originally made for this one specific thing, so it should only be used for that one thing" is even remotely how things work? Viagra was a heart medication. Also, I promise you that over the next 5-10 years as we actually get standardized research studies on the topics, we're going to start using GLP-1s for much more than diabetes and weight loss (and even explicitly related conditions like sleep apnea and fatty liver and the pain from knee osteoarthritis). For one thing, it's shown significant evidence to help with addiction cravings. People are just casually quitting smoking and drinking after starting a GLP-1 for their diabetes because they just don't feel like it anymore.
Anyway, the moral of the story is that this is a fantastic category of medications that needs to be more readily available to people with both diabetes and other medical conditions. Demand for it has increased rapidly over the past several years because it is a very effective medication. Shaming people for using it to lose weight is unkind, misguided, and is not going to help the triage situation we end up in with it. Stop shaming people for taking medicine that is helping them.
I get it. "Look at these evil, vain, rich jerkoffs stealing medications out of the hands of diabetics who need it to stay alive" is compelling. It's just not congruent with reality.
Thank you for saying all this. The utter vitriol and hatred people are getting for using a drug available to them to help with a severe issue is honestly vile.
My cousin has an adorable little six month old filly she's rearing to ride in a few years. Thought I'd ask for your take on her coat if you were interested. She's called Peach!
(You can answer public if you want idm.)
She's really cute. From this picture I'm 98% sure she's palomino (e/e Cr/n) but I'd really like to see her again when she's grown up so I can find out if she's roan, turning grey, or if her white-ish looking body was just a trick of the light.
I thought similarly, but it's always good to get a second opinion. I'll endeavour to get another photo of her when she turns one, so we can track her colouration ^^
Any chance I could write a fic based on your daemon art/head canon?
Hell yeah man!! Go ahead. And anyone else interested too. Legit it would be the coolest thing to have people write for this specific daemon interpretation, it's why we're always so excited to put art and fic and stuff out there for it.
If you ever want more specific information about the AU also feel free to ask. The info I put on that art barely scratches the surface of the love and detail we've cobbled together for it.
Carlos Sainz Jr. & Carmela-Jair Jr. | Ethiopian Wolf | β
Alex Albon & Briar | Ragdoll Cat | β
Dæmons are all chosen through the analytical format.
Some Details About Each:
Rosa is a dark morph and would often be marked as the wrong species of bird in race graphics early in his career. This has led to lots of fun (annoying) online confusion to what she actually is.
Guillaume is primarily known as and in F1 is branded as Willow, his real name has never occurred in official F1 print or graphics, though it's not a secret or anything. He's white in winter and moults to brown in summer according to France's seasons. His general appearance in graphics is a consistent mix of brown/white to keep him identifiable.
Helio acquired an upper beak prosthetic during the 2021 season due to Fernando's injury. He spent a portion of the season missing the upper portion; the prosthetic was fitted during the summer break. His feathers are dulled and their tether has been disconnected now longer than it was ever together. They're fine with it and consider it as making them better racers.
Ginette is incredibly fluffy during winter months but slims down heavily in summer. It can cause problems with travel and she's more prone to overheating and the cold depending on the time of year. She's often joked about as 'lazy' as 'constantly asleep' due to her habit of laying down pretty much all the time, this habit increased drastically after Lance's accident.
Henri and Charles relationship is brilliant despite some cultures frowning upon small dæmons for men. Henri is far more outspoken and brash than Charles and has a habit of saying what he means and what he wants as loudly as he wants to that Ferrari hasn't quite stamped out yet, and most likely never will. He wears sponsor rings around his legs and prefers to settle on Charles' hand or the brim of his cap. He's well known for a completely round plushie Ferrari sells of him.
Archie has cropped ears (as dæmon's are made of 'dust' these can be grown back anytime if wants it) and often wears jewellery to match with Lewis. The cropped ears makes applying piercings easier. Traditional British dæmon naming is giving them 'strong' and older names, though some are breaking away from this and trending towards 'new-age' names (Angel, etc). Archie is highly protective of Lewis and dislikes the time forced away from him due to racing. He says he doesn't hate Roscoe, but he can't fully cover the loathing that apparently the dog made as the perfect partner wasn't good enough alone.
Olivia dislikes her size greatly and finds herself too sensitive to speak up for herself. Esteban often finds himself coming to her rescue when overwhelmed which helps him feel more responsible, but puts her in a weird spot. They're working through it, somewhat.
Ethel is newly settled, this is obvious based on the difficulties to adapt to feet the size of tennis rackets. She prefers to taxi on whoever or whatever she can find instead.
Angel is mandated to wear tine-caps in the paddock for 'safety' reasons. It looks stupid and everyone thinks its stupid. The colours of the caps are changed to match any special designs for the car livery. George owns a branded Mercedes dæmon trailer for him, but in general finds it difficult to accommodate him still. He's often put in separate hotels to other F1 drivers due to Angel's size. He's an advocate dæmon acceptance and accessibility. (But if any other driver is asked, he's spent his driving career too reliant on Angel's physical power and presence warding off negative reactions to overly brash behaviour.)
Celeste is recently settled but adapted quickly due to being used to fox-like forms already, so her final form was far from a surprise. Kimi is endlessly thankful she never swayed towards hawks to avoid even further comparison to Kimi RÀikkânen (who's dæmon, Katariina, was a zone-tailed hawk). Seen frequently following Brunhilde at a distance on their media rounds, though Max says they've never actually spoken to one another
Cosimo is publicly branded as and known by Cosmo. He's considered an ambassador animal and is part of charity efforts for the species. He's outspoken and uses his opposable thumbs only for evil and considers everything a climbing frame. Gets on most people's nerves, sometimes even Lando's, but the therapy is helping.
Betty is also an ambassador animal for public charity efforts. She's the rarest species on the grid. She hates being at ground level and always wants to be carried by Oscar or placed on tables. She's more outwardly emotive than her counterpart, but not by much.
Jabir is every bit a cool and chill temperament as Isack isn't. He's often the one to think things through slowly and Isack will never make a choice without Jabir's direct influence, even more so than is usual for a dæmon. He's quiet, but is very far from shy.
Harlow spends most of her time in a climate controlled environment tank, a usual accessory for amphibious and insect dæmon. Liam has a spray bottle on hand for misting her whenever she's out and about, though that's not often. She is a chill, laid-back, moisterised, and unbothered queen.
KatsurΕ is very very large for his species and always stands and walks in front of Tsunoda. He's very particular and not afraid to throw his weight around when his counterparts wants it. His nicknames come from Kitto Katsu 'you will surely win' a false cognate being 'kitkat', 'kitty' came later in English markets from 'Kitto' to avoid sponsor issues in public, though in private it's still his favourite nickname.
Brunhilde and Max are one of only a small handful of drivers to enter F1 without a settled dΓ¦mon (a normal settling age is anywhere from 16-25). She would settle May 15th 2016 and snaped May 29th the same year. He suffers from TTRβTraumatic Tether Rejection, a chronic issue handled with therapy and medication. Brunhilde is quiet and like her time spent to herself, including being away from Max, a normal TTR symptom. She rarely says anything unless heavily coaxed and what she does can be considered unsympathetic and has brought them their fair share of dislike in the sport.
August settled recently shortly before Gabriel entered the grid. She didn't often take on the forms of birds before this, so she's still coming to terms with her new form and sticking the landing, of which she has become slightly notorious for failing at. She prefers to ride around on his shoulder despite being slightly too large for it to be comfortable. She is also doing nothing to combat corvid stereotypes and enjoys stealing women's hairclips and men's tieclips mostly for the thrill of the game.
Erik is easily bribed with fish treats and takes himself far from seriously, most of the time he prefers to entertain the children who find him amusing. Most well known for chilling in the kiddie pool that's brought with him for every race.
Carlos and Carmela's bond was artificially severed in 2024 via and intercision procedure but had been on the rocks for a decade. Carlos sponsors public charity efforts for the Ethiopian species with Carmela being considered an ambassador, though she is at best annoyed by the attention and at worst legitimately despising of it. Rumour has it she attacked a reporter near the end of the 2024 season, though nothing's been confirmed and the media remains tight-lipped. She has found herself the main star of too many 'dæmon body-language analysis' videos. Her favourite place is behind the sofa of any room she's in.
Briar is a tortoiseshell and a very large hefty gal. She values the condition of her fur greatly. Alex has found himself brushing her basically the instant he isn't doing anything else. Sometimes even during something else. Anything for his pretty princess though, plus she makes a great hot water bottle when held.
I have seen a few theories that while Vox may not have intended to die the way he did, that the way he died was still intentionally reminiscent of a "koolaid drinking/mass ending" of a cult movement". I think he would have had a Cult/mass suicide esque ending anyways simply as a product of his own madness and delusion + power over people. On top of that also I'm fairly sure he took out that whole damn aquarium of people when the TV dropped and electrocuted him, because in a freeze frame of him mid-electeocution, you can see all of his followers skeletons along with his own π maybe that's how he got big in hell so quickly, he already had some followers come with him to the other side
Oh it's definitely reminiscent of the mass suicides of cults, and Vox's collection was shaping up to be either straight up or adjacent accelerationist in ideology (mass capitalism and a heavy focus on technological progress to drive social change, alongside mass comercialisation) I have doubts that it would've ended up any other way. Once you start going 'post-humanism is now' there's not a lot of steps to the end and it doesn't seem he was far off from it ideologically and mental health-wise.
I would've preferred it to be a deliberate suicide all in all however. I discussed it with the server gang and thought over it, and I feel it would've been more impactful overall, perhaps even more so if Vox's backstory didn't include the murdersβsuicide is an unforgivable sin in fun religious moralityβit would advance the net of what actually gets people in hell.
But I can't say the accidental death doesn't fit him either lmao, after spending a life setting up the accidents of others. womp womp.
And yeah, I've got back through the song um, too many times and he ended up setting up shop at the aquarium that was theoretically bankrupted/shutdown after his machinations. The water itself is definitely meant to be a reference to literal baptism/renewal, he looped in a religious rebirth edge to it it seems, with the creation of a new world/new order.
The electrical fault which killed Vox (more-so than the blunt-force trauma) took out the rest of the crowd. I think in the end whatever is left that people find of the place will definitely appear to be a mass-suicide of a cult that became fixated on technology, probably giving it a larger place in history than just, 'accidental mass electrocution' which is so typical of Vox stumbling upwards lmao.
I have no idea the soul powerscaling in this show but that was a good chunk people and if they're tied to him in the afterlifeβimplying he probably dragged them all down to hell with himβit was no doubt a nice power injection to get him going.
I'd love to see it all explored far more indepth but the show's season probably won't ever have the time.
