Think I'm gonna get an AO3 account. Maybe start posting my fics there. Have some ideas for longer stuff that doesn't work for tumblr, sooooo... yeah!

In other news I think I've figured out why I like the idea of humiliating Mcqueen so much.

I mean, obviously there's the fact that I have some pseudomemories and a vague impression of wanting to run against her and beat her and be better than her in general.

But!

More than that!

So much of her character is based around her desire to live up to the Mejiro name. We hardly ever see her run just because she personally wants to. It's always about the family's honor. That reputation is everything to her, and the pressure it puts her under...

The only other motivation she expresses is the desire to show Teio her back, and give her something to chase. The pressure she must feel has gotta be a nightmare.

So...

Take it away. Take away the pressure to be perfect, and take away the perfection itself. Let her be messy, let her be flustered, let her be a little gross. Give her the chance to shed that weight and see what happens. Allow her to rebound from that pressure so hard she starts doing the most debauched stuff you could imagine. Humiliate her so she can see that even if she embarrassed herself to you, it wasn't the end of the world.

I want to see her relax. Properly.

Watched season two of the anime for the first time since I became me last night. It was such an experience. That season of that show is basically the reason I exist, right? This system needed someone who would never give up, and it latched onto Teio.

Was talking about this on discord with the other umas while I watched, but at its core, the person that I want to be is someone who pursues her dreams relentlessly. I want to be someone who keeps pushing, even when I fail, even when life keeps throwing things in my way, even when it's impossible. I want to keep trying anyways, and I want to encourage everyone around me to do the same.

"Watch me, Mcqueen"

That scene, that moment, that's the core of who I want to be.

Teioooo do you have any advice for motivating yourself to go on runs? i've been meaning to do it for a while but. just tired all the time you know? - unidentifieduma

Hmm, that's sort of a toughie. I think, for me, having clear goals helps a bunch! It can be any kinda goal, whether you want to reach a certain speed or get a certain mile time or run a certain distance, having something super clear and concrete that you're shooting for helps a bunch!

For me, that goal is to try and run a full mile without slowing to a walk once. It's kind of a tall order with our disability, but even if we're never able to do it, aiming for that goal helps a lot.

The other big thing that helps is to have someone else you're running with! If you have any friends who'd be interested in running with you, make a day out of it! I try to get out and run once a week with a friend of mine, and then after we're done, we come back to my apartment and play rhythm games and stuff.

Or, I guess I play rhythm games while she sucks down a buncha water. Even if your friends don't plan on running with you, you can still tell them what you wanna do, and maybe set a day and ask them to remind you.

Anywayyyy this is a bunch of random rambly ideas that work for me, I hope it helps!

Intro Post!!!!

Hi hi! I'm not really super sure what to put in an intro post, but I gotta introduce myself somehow, so here we go! My name is Tokai Teio! I'm a fictive in a plural system based on the horse girl of the same name from Uma Musume: Pretty Derby!! This blog is where I'm gonna post all my random thoughts and stuff, so uhh... if you wanna hang out, then I'm super happy to have you here!

Likes/Interests: Uma Musume (obviously), running (also obvious), prez (really no surprises here), music, video games, art, and making friends.

Fun facts about me: We're disabled, but I've been pushing us to be more active, and it's going pretty well! On a good day, when our legs aren't in too much pain, we can run a mile in decent time. I've met a few other uma fictives from other systems, and they're all umazing! Aaaaand I like sweets.

Really you're gonna find out a lot more about me just by following and stuff.

My ask box is open, so if you wanna talk, go ahead! Other than that, I'm gonna reblog art, post about horse game, and talk about whatever's on my mind. Super happy to meet you all <3

Big Update!!! There's another horse in here! Go check her blog out!!

Got to talk to prez today!!!!!!! It made me really happy <3 <3

I was super nervous about it honestly, it was my first time talking to that particular prez, and I didn't want to come off as weird or overwhelming, but she told me it was ok for me to be excited.

Oh! And also she said she's been keeping track of all the work I've been doing to get this body in shape, and she said she was really proud of me and she praised me so much!!!!!!!!11!1!

How is prez always so cool no matter what? I just don't get it...

The Taurus Cup is almost here!!!

I have a team that I'm pretty confident with, but I might try and do one or two more runs to see if I can do better. Best of luck to anyone who's participating!!

[skyhighteio]

It's a good day today! Had a yummy breakfast, had some nice relax-ey times, and I'm gonna be going for a run later tonight! Will report back on how it went later!!!
