I guess some people have to be so miserable in life that when someone posts how excited they were to finally do something (like ride a stalhorse and take it to the horse god, Malanya) that they have to be rude about it and state how common it is. So what that it is common and that many have done it before? This was my first time and I was excited about it. Posting about accomplishments, including small ones, is not a new thing and can even help others who may not know that such a thing exists. Like I had no idea that you can feed a horse simply by holding an apple until someone had posted about their accomplishment which included that.
Last note with the stalhorses and then I'll shut up, but I'd like to think that by taking it to Malanya that I was able to help give it the peace it needed for its spirit to be set free. How could it not? Surrounded by such intense beauty, a god that read him and saw that it had already bonded with me, and did not treat it like a monster as everything else did (minus McCone because he's my sweetie), and Epona's theme... how could it not find peace? At any rate, it's my personal belief that the horse is now free to roam forever with the rest of the horses that have passed on!
Bonding with the stalhorse! Apparently you can not only give the stalhorse apples (I didn't know this) but you can feed two horses at once if you have at least two apples! So no better way to make new horsie friends by feeding them their favorite treat!
Bringing McCone a new friend. Pretty certain he was a bit shy of McCone. Poor thing is constantly viewed as a monster and treated as a curse walking so can't say that I blame him for being shy.
There's the stalhorse I caught! No I didn't try to register him because every time I tried he kept running off. I could sense that he was unhappy with everyone treating him like a monster and well, I knew where I could take him for his final hours.
Hearing Epona's theme in this place and watching the daylight take the stalhorse I ended up in tears.
Okay, ignore the sketchy pencil and please don’t count ribs or vertebrae or look too closely but I give you @linktober day 7 - Undead
I told you I would draw as many horses as possible. Here is a sorta anatomically correct stalhorse
Fun fact: I was drawing through vet school and the study guide I made for myself for anat9my was beautiful. I still have it.
I like this better than the practice sketch I did, and I should draw more stalhorses, but on larger pieces of paper
