[ i think im going to take a break from here. no real reason, im just not having much luck getting the motivation to write on tumblr. im still more than happy to write with people on discord, though! i find it much easier to do rps there because i can answer on my phone, and im there like half the time. my discord is thatstupiddeer#2627 and if you add me, please shoot me a DM to let me know who you are! also if i have a thread going with you, and you feel like dropping it because of my absence, that is more than okay, and i’ll understand 😊 ]

✦ I used to keep my hair short, but now I’ve grown it out so that it’s passed my shoulders now, and 90% of the reason is because my girlfriend said she liked it longer.

✦ I have a terrible attention span, and it takes me like 5 hours to watch something that’s maybe 2 hours, unless I’m watching with someone else.

✦ I cycle through a number of songs when I’m trying to write, and for whatever reason, only one or two songs I go through will make me feel like writing, and it’s always a toss up on what it’ll be.

✦ I hate wearing winter coats, and I will avoid it for as long as I possibly can. Even in the middle of the polar vortex last week, I only wore my coat ‘cause it was like -40 out.

✦ I love my girlfriend, but she sent this to me last night and tried to make me answer it before we could go to bed >:V

✦ A few years ago, I owned a cockatiel whose actual name was “Jem” but we always just called him “Bird” and he learned how to say “hello bird” to us when we took him out of his cage in the morning.

✦ My girlfriend and I plan to have a lot of animals when we eventually move in together. A dog, a cat, a couple horses, some chickens, probably some fish, and maybe a lizard or a snake.

✦ I haven’t worked with horses for a while because of lack of time lately, but when I did, I was always the person assigned to handle the “difficult” horses because I got them to listen to me. This included a high-strung ex-barrel racing horse who liked to bolt, a paint who liked to take off when going into a trot, a chestnut mare who had a habit of biting her handler if her rider did something she didn’t like, a very green mare who was still learning how to be a trail horse and was terrified of bikes (tricky, as where I was riding was a place you got around either on foot, on horse/carriage, or by bike), and most recently, an ex-breeding stallion-now-gelding who still behaved like a stallion and liked to throw people off and have fits if there was a mare anywhere near him. That last horse threw me off once, but that was it lmao.

✦ I’m sure this is a surprise to NO ONE but I’m in an online program for equine science & management and hope to own my own stable in the future, whether it be a hobby farm or a full-on business.

✦ My favourite animals are a tie between wolves and deer, and horses are a very, very close second, which might be surprising considering what I’m studying.

✦ I love hearing stories about paranormal shit and watching videos about it, like investigation stuff, but I think I would drop dead if something paranormal ever happened to me.

✦ I have a teenage brother who everyone thinks is in his 20s and not his teens ‘cause of how he dresses and ‘cause he’s the only teenage boy I’ve seen who can grow a proper beard, and not the ugly scruff most teenagers manage.

✦ A part of me wants to get a tattoo ‘cause I love how they look, but I’m so indecisive and a wuss when it comes to pain, that I will probably never go through with it.

✦ I figured out I was into girls when I was about 17/18 I think, I don’t remember my exact age, but the reason I figured it out was because of Liara T’Soni from Mass Effect lmaooo

✦ Years back, I was in uni for english, but I had to drop out because of health reasons lmao. I have no plans to go back because I do not do well in classroom settings, I’ve found.

✦ I have a dog named Penny, and she is a labradoodle, but you would never guess that she’s that breed. I’ve gotten a lot of guesses ranging from golden retriever (when she was a baby) to wolfhound.

✦ Halo 3 was what got me into video games for real, and that’s why I ended up drawn to Destiny. The developers of the game I loved making another sci-fi game? I was really excited for it lmao

Ronja has slipped away from her mother’s careful watch, and has found her uncle engrossed in his work. She grins, and looks about to make sure she isn’t about to be ratted out, and creeps across the floor. Once she is close enough, she yells out “UNCLE!” and leaps upon him, attempting to pull herself onto his back by his shoulders, and hook her legs around his waist. “I’ve got you!”

≴ █   ear twitches at the soft sounds of footsteps, carefully taken as to try to not alarm. a smile creeps on his face as the mysterious threat to him could only be one person dear to him. he stays still but pretends to keep working all the while letting Ronja creep closer & closer— until she finally reveals herself & pounces on his back. hands wrap gently about her wrists so he can pull her upward as she clings to him making sure she wouldn’t fall, then moving to prop under her legs to help her stay aloft. he laughs & stands up, ＂ oh no i’ve been betrayed & captured by my own !

         how could such a fate befall me ? ＂ he jests with dramatic flair, spinning about whilst Ronja laughs & giggles. he twirls & twirls with her on his back making his way to a cushioned couch against the wall, slowly flopping down( carefully as to not properly hurt the young princess ) on top of her so she lets go. he stays for a moment longer to tease the youth before sitting up & stretching. ＂ i take it your mother’s studies for you became too much ? come on, let’s go to the city for a while & get fresh air. ＂ he smiles & holds out his hand for her, ＂ so long as you’re with me there is no harm in ditching. ＂

         he’d deal with Mara’s fussing later.

The majority of the disc that the Dreaming City is built on is covered in lush forest and meadows, home to a number of wild animals such as wild boar, wolves, deer, various small mammals, and a large number of bird species. It is a whole ecosystem to itself, but the ratio of predators to prey has been purposefully skewed in favour of the prey because of a virtually-unknown-to-outsiders pastime of the Awoken: hunting.

Corsairs, civilians, and those of high status all participate in the sport, both for the sake of trophies and for the sake of gathering meat and furs, though there is a yearly cap on how many animals of each species may be killed to prevent overhunting, and the early months of the year is a time where hunting is off limits entirely to allow new animals to be born without running the risk of killing the young animals’ parents.

While most hunts consist of a handful of people, usually on foot with bows or rifles, every few months, or when a report of a particularly rare animal has been spotted comes in, a Royal Hunt is held. During Royal Hunts, all are welcome to join the Queen and her court on an extensive hunt that lasts days on end. Horses and hounds are brought out for even civilians and Corsairs not of the Queen’s Guard to use, though many still prefer to go out on foot for the challenge of it. The end of the Royal Hunt comes after three days, or after the target animal has been felled. Any animals killed in the hunt belong to the people who brought them down, including the target animal, though many still present their rare finds to the Queen to gain favour.

When Mara hunts, she prefers a small party, usually her closest associates, along with a few hounds (occasionally with Riven in the form of a hound), her horse, and a bow, as a bow is less likely to frighten animals for miles around. She rarely goes hunting, however, as it is hard for her to find enough downtime to spend so many hours in the forest.
