Welcome to my cottage! I'm Niki, part-time fairy godmother and fulltime daydreamer. You must be weary from the journey through the Enchanted Forest--have a seat and I'll brew you an energy potion. Apologies for the clutter, I've accumulated a lot of posts in my years of wandering the Tumblrlands.

If you're interested in reading any of my fics, you can find me on Archive of Our Own. Fandoms that I've written for include Legend of Zelda, Tales of Arcadia, Stardew Valley, The Mandalorian, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and How to Train Your Dragon. Otherwise, feel free to make yourself comfortable and peruse my collection of curiosities, rants, and fanarts here. May a thousand fairy blessings be upon you! ✨

Hello friend!

It's been a while since I've checked your blog! How have you been? How is your writing/original book going?

Willowwwwwwwww! I was just thinking about you the other day, great to hear from you!!!! Hope life's being good to you!

I'm doing great, thank you for asking! I'm currently working as a church secretary and training to become an accountant, so I've had less time and energy for writing, unfortunately. My Big Main Project has stalled due to major writer's block, rip. It's frustrating, but my creativity tends to come and go in waves, so it's just a matter of waiting for the next wave to hit me. In the meantime I've just been experimenting with a couple of smaller ideas that will likely never see the light of day, but have been good for keeping my skills sharp nonetheless.

You simply MUST tell me if you ever publish anything of your own, btw. I need to get back into reading, and you would be one of the authors I'd be most excited to read. ✨✨✨

i recently found out the funniest thing about big horses recently which is that for centuries humans have sworn that the feathering on big horse’s legs has been bred in there for a reason, and the reason given is usually something to do with how it helps keep the joints warm and safe when the big horse is doing hauling work in fields.

the thing is: it doesn’t appreciably do that, because the feathers wick up water and mud, which cancels out any insulation advantage they might hypothetically confer, and also it wasn’t even put there on purpose.

the Leg Get More Hair gene is just linked to the Bones Get More Big gene. when you breed any lineage of horses to have bigger bones–not just taller, but chunkier–the leg hair just happens anyway. so every single breed of draft horse has feathered legs, and even carriage horses like friesians get feathers once they hit a certain threshold of lorge.

when you supersize your horse, mother nature throws in a free pair of booties. how cool is that?

I saw an interesting technique for drawing faces and eyes at an angle, so I decided to try it with Ryis 🥹

He's been next on my list of Mistria characters to draw, and I'm really happy with how he turned out! His preference for warm color clothing overlaps with my own preferences, so his outfit was very fun to experiment with.

You gotta read and watch some old books and films that aren’t 100% modern politically correct. I’m not saying you should agree with everything in them but you need to learn where genres came from to understand what those genres are doing today and where media deconstructing old tropes is coming from.

Also, more often than you might think, they’re not actually promoting bigotry so much as “didn’t consider all the implications of something” or just used words that were polite then but considered offensive now.

Kill the censor in your head.

When we choose to avoid history because it's Problematic or Says Bad Things, we are choosing to divorce ourselves from understanding how we came from that time to this one, which makes it even more likely for the cycle to repeat, with no one but a few people with shelves of old books aware that it's happened before.

and this shit's important. Media from the past tells us how people from the past acted and thought and behaved.

Plus, a lot of these media pieces were socially acceptable and/or progressive for their time. For example, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, while it contains a lot of words and ideas that are offensive now, was very progressive for its time. The book is a statement piece for how a young man who's grown up in a racist environment, with no words to explain himself other than racist and bigoted ones, decides that the whole system is shit and he's not going to follow those rules any more. So not reading or engaging with it because it uses the n-word a lot really misses the point.
