I love your Service Dog au! Could you explain the premise?

Asdfsdf I'm glad you enjoy it! However that au is 2 years old at least, if there ever was a premise to it I do not remember it anymore

Hi! I'm a huge fan of your art. I love how you draw Fidella and Cass especially. Do you have any headcanons of them?

Hello, my apologies for the late reply- I've just now gotten the energy to go through my askbox.

Cass and Fidella headcanons you say????? oh yes I have those in SPADES actually. I have not rewatched the show in any great detail lately so nobody come at me with inaccuracies please and thank u

1. Fidella was an accidental occurrence when one of the Guard's mares got out for a few days and is half draft. Since Corona appears to employ only light cavalry, the Guard likely intended to use Fidella for hauling. Either way, she was never going to be a cavalry horse.

2. I imagine Cass was probably 11-13 during this time and would have been experiencing the famous early teenage angst along with her other many and numerous issues, and felt a Connection™ with this awkward little mistake horse

3. Cap allowed Cassandra to train Fidella, and over the years she just kind of became Cassandra's Horse (not in any official sense mind you, but when the entire royal guard has collectively adopted you these things happen)

4. At the time the show takes place, Fidella is still not technically a cavalry horse. She's a cart horse that Cassandra trained to ride, and mostly she's used for basic confidence-building riding lessons with new recruits as well as for Cassandra's personal use.

5. I very much enjoy the thought that Cassandra's training of Fidella was like 80% trial and error. No horse whisperer bullshit here our girl went into this with knowledge gained through osmosis and possibly also a book. She got bucked off so many times and the pain only made her stronger

6. As a result of #5 Fidella is a very typically-trained cart horse, however as a riding horse she's a little Quirky due to tween Cass not always training her by the book
