It’s been way too long since I uploaded one of these. I’ve been so busy with work and having problems with the camera, I haven’t been able to show off the videos yet. 

So here’s one to get back into the swing of things. I may start doing one each day until I’m caught up! 

This was last Sunday, when the weather was just amazing for us to ride in. Elf did have a moment in the lower school otherwise I would’ve gotten some amazing shots down there. so we moved up to the upper school so he would be more relaxed and calmer in himself.

things linguistics has taught me: do not fuck with the welsh

[animate-mush]

Seriously though do not. This is welsh nationalism in a nutshell.

So like, 150 or so years ago, nobody cared about Welsh. Not even the welsh. But then, one day, some folks got sick of paying the tolls at toll gates. Citing bizarre biblical precedent, they dressed up as women and started seizing toll gates, at which point the (also welsh) gate owners went “WTF?” and called in (english) magistrates to resolve the dispute.

The English Magistrates looked at the situation and went “WTF?” and commissioned an inquiry loosely titled “WTF is wrong with Wales??”

Well this commission did a ton of work and looked at schools and politics and people on hillsides raising sheep and all that jazz and came to the thrilling conclusion: What’s Wrong with Wales is that Ridiculous Backwards Language they all speak there.

There was a moment of dead silence, broken only by the loud scrape as Wales, collectively, as a nation, in a fit of unity not seen since the castles came to subjugate the native tribes, pushed back its chair, stood up slowly, and said “what you just say bout me?”

And folks who’d never heard it spoken started teaching their children Welsh, and the old sheep herder on the hill became a cultural icon, and the rioters and the gate owners high fived each other and said “suck it, England!” (only in Welsh this time).

And now Welsh is a protected language, there’s a strong Welsh nationalist movement, with its own flag and spelling conventions, and there’s a Welsh channel on television (which is doubly impressive when you remember that Britain only has like three channels).

And that is how the Welsh saved their language from extinction by sheer force of spite

[slutty-ankylosaurus]

Just gotta add those toll booth riots were called the Rebecca Riots, the rioters were known as Rebeccas and I am named after them. It’s the one consolation to an otherwise boring name.

Also my great grandad lived to the age of 101 and never spoke a word of English that wasn’t forced out of him through threat of unemployment. Despite being fluent and having 5 great grandchildren who have the Welsh vocabulary of toddlers.

[moosche]

I wish I could go back to speaking Welsh :(

I’m stuck in South Wales, which doesn’t take the whole Welsh culture seriously unless its against the English. So because of that stigma of the Welsh-Not, fewer family members spoke Welsh. 

Need to go to some lessons to kick it back into gear. It’s such a fun language 

[moosche]

TF Nation was the best this year. 

I met so many amazing new people, got a ton more stuff, learnt more stuff and just generally had a blast. I can’t wait until next year to do it all again. And thanks to the cosplay panel who inspired me to attempt a full mech suit for next year. It will be done!

Bonus: I CAME SECOND FOR THE NON-MECH CATEGORY!!! 

Although I bet it was mainly down to me ‘ticketing’ Dave for not wearing enough stripes. Billy now has that ticket

[purrv]

I lied

Reblog if you’re over 20 and still read/write fan fiction.

I’m curious!

[cullinankatsudon]

I’m 43 and I just started.

[larielromeniel]

53. So I’ve been doing this on and off for 40 years!

[werewolfbarbie]

Yep!

[becausedragonage]

43 and I only started when I was 41. I don’t intend to stop. Ever. 

[sarasa-cat]

I turned my nose up hard at fanfic in my teens and early-mid twenties. Needed to cross beyond 30 before I appreciated and understood the value of it.

[jenroses]

45. Been writing fanfic since I was… 25 or 26? I forget if it was 1997 or 1998.

I had a week last year where I read something like a million and a half words of fanfic in one week. I’ve written over a million words of fanfic in my lifetime.

[eerian-sadow]

35, and I’ll stop when I’m dead.

[gun-toting-science-nerd]

Well passed and won’t stop.

Hey guys

I know I haven't posted for a while but I’ve been super busy with work and then had a few setbacks with the camera battery. But I’m back with a funny little clip of Lulu being the dedicated follower that she is. 

Not a very eventful lesson. Mainly working on the bend of the horses since they’re a pair that don’t get ridden as often and so they’re not as active. Lulu is getting better though and she’s finding her balance again. 

Elf? 

Elf is Elf. He still gets on your nerves and he’s still a twitchy thing which is why I have demoted him from the battle scarred War Horse to the baby. But to be fair, he isn’t used a lot, he was out of action for a few years and he’s still fairly young. 

And I love him so much.
