I thought it was a good idea at the time

House 1977 has not one but two horses featured over its 88 minute runtime.

First, one that’s easy to miss is this small horse outside of the shoesmaker’s workshop seen here next to Mr. Togo’s car. (And sharing the scene with director Nobuhiko Obayashi’s daughter Chigumi Obayashi, a cowriter of this film.)

This horse is shown a second time when Mr Togo returns to use the shoesmaker’s phone a few beats later.

Now I could forgive you for considering this to be a pony as it’s quite small and therefore not quite fulfilling the horse quota. But what I can’t forgive is blatantly ignoring this

The beautiful white horse featured in one of the most iconic moments of the film, Fantasy’s fantasy about being rescued by Mr Togo in which she imagines him riding in on a white stallion to save her from the titular House.

Lobotomising herself for a chance at saving Gideon.

Referring to the Body as, "beloved."

“Gideon the Ninth, first flower of my House.” 

“There’s a difference between keeping a shred of dance card,” said Harrow Nonagesimus, “and saving the last dance.”

“Beloved dead, hear your handmaiden. I loved you with my whole rotten, contemptible heart—I loved you to the exclusion of aught else—let me live long enough to die at your feet.”

Saving Gideon's glasses in an envelope with the words - one flesh, one end.

All three of her river bubble AU's.
