Deer Menagerie

recently watched bambi for the first time ever and talked with my mom about her first memories of the movie while growing up

it felt fitting to take a deeper look into deer menagerie, please enjoy!

while traditional carousels were made almost entirely of horses, a select few menagerie carousels included deer

traditional deer menagerie always used real deer antlers

remember, most carousels were transportable so these were horses & animals that were being packed up and unloaded constantly

real bone antlers were much more durable compared to carving out thin pieces of wood that could break easily

on menagerie carousels, the popular animals choices were always lions and tigers. carousel deer were considered rare and highly sought after by collectors

there’s even some does in the carousel world! so happy to see these girlies getting some attention as well!

just like carousel horses, deer menagerie are categorized by stander, prancer, and jumper positions

the prancer pose seems to be used the most for deer menagerie while it’s the most uncommon pose for the horses

many of the trappings have woodland and hunting themes, including detailed leafs and hound dogs

thank you for reading!

Caught wind of some drama happening far downstream of me in a fandom- artist being accused of fetishizing a character and harassed- and my spicy take is that it's a pity when the takeaway from ppl defending the artist is "no they actually don't draw fetish content!" and not "fetish content isn't bad actually".

you have permission to pick that 2 year old "abandoned" project back up. it's not mad at you for setting it aside. and maybe time and distance have helped ease or erase the things that made you put it down in the first place.

Just because you want to be a soulless soot bag of a human doesn't mean you can just tell others they have to be that too Gregory!
