#boadicea

Oh you know dragons, she's...well, shes energetic to say the least.

Hitting that stage of 'how far can i push the boundaries' so she's been getting under everyones skin, specifically Val. Annoying her big sister seems to be one of her top tier time wasters right now.

Suffice to say it never ends well for Boa, big baby doesnt know when to quit sometimes. She'll learn.

otherwise been doing a lot of circuit training with her, she's eager to get into this years race circuit, all good and well, she's bomb fast in a straight line, but i can attest to her inability to turn corners suick enough. Taken a fair few tumbles from the seat, into cliffs, into the ocean, into forests. We're woring on it, all doable, she just gets excited, and puts her foot on the gas too soon. Restrait at her age is not the easiest thing to grasp, but every day she gets a little better.

Boadicea

"Boadicea and Her Daughters," bronze sculpture near Westminster Bridge in London, U.K. Sculpted by Thomas Thornycroft (1815-1885)

okok hear me out: everyone loves a good dinosaur au. found this old website called Evosaur and I was really inspired. So here is the ones I've made so far

Taima

Parasorolphus

Idk i just feel like it's strong and nimble. I mean Taima is NOT a big horse by any means

Boadicea

T-Rex

Something intimidating, powerful, and fast. An absolute sweetheart though. The T-rex model is so angry for no reason :(

The Count

Carnotaurus

Carnies are actually pretty small compared to other dinosaurs. I think everyone likes to make fun of The Count for being so tiny. Seriously, he is minuscule compared to a shire. He also looks kinda silly and I think Dutch would think he looks badass

Silver Dollar

Neovenator

Hosea really strikes me as a theropod if he were a dinosaur, as they're smart birds, essentially. Idk just thought it fit. Also doesn't my baby look so pretty as a bird lizard???

Branwen

Gallimimus

Look I got as close as I could, okay?? this was the only dino breed they had that was a rideable size with markings similar. I wish I could've done better but it was also really late and I tried my best

As promised, my first attempt at writing my own stuff directly into Mando'a:

Ke susulu gehat'ika be Boudica, Alor be Iceni.

Boudica alori aliite ti kaysh riduur 'kay kaysh kyr'am. Kaysh riduur dinui waadas at val ad'ikase, bal ti vercopaani cabuor val aliit, at Alor be Romani. Aaray shekemi kaysh kyr'am ti aru'e olaror teh abesh, aruetiise teh Rome. Aruettise olaro at Iceni, chakaaryc bal adenn, joruu waadas. Kaysh chaku teh Alor, chaku teh aliike. Aruetiise naasta yaime, kaysh hetti vhette, mirceta droten. Aliike akaani, al Alor bal kaysh ad'ikase mirci, val shupur'yc, val gana haastale. Jorcu ibac bane, Boudica aala copad par gra'tua. Alor rejorhaa'i kaysh aliite:

Mavan jate'shya gaa'mirce, mhi kar'tayli ibic. Mhi oya'cye bintar. Droten Romani or'paguu mhi! Val jurkadi, val chaku, val kyr'amu!

Val hibii cuun vhetine, cuun aliite! Bic kyr'di! Ibi'tuur!! Ni nu lise oya'cye chur kaysh an'gyce. Naasad lise. Val kyr'ame enteyor olaror sha ca'nara val cetare tigaanur cuun vheh. Mhi pare narir. Mhi nu serimi! Mhi akio cuun aliite jii, cuun wadaas, cuun vhetine.

Akaan manaani ti Romani. Iceni akaani dos vhetine bal adol oriyase. Yaime hetti, Romani tar'gala gayiyla. Alor bal kaysh aliite adenn. At chaaj'yc Londinium val slana bah hettir oriya. Ori'sol Romani trattok'o bah kad, bah kal, bah marev. Bal Romani jehaati. Val haaranovo, bat bral. Val haaranovo ti beviine. Iceni olaro sha spirba. Kyr'am olaro teh tra, sa pitat. Beviine an rud, taldin an rud. Iceni trattok'o.

A droten nu diguur Boudica, Alore be Iceni, ori'sol sim'olane suum akaan. Droten gotal'u Boudica teh beskar o'r Londinium. Kaysh partayli darasuum.

Hear (the) story of Boudica, Queen of the Iceni.

Boudica rule(d) (the) clans with her husband 'til his death. Her husband left wealth to their children, and with hope to protect their family, to the Roman Emperor. Pain follow(ed) his death with enemies to come from (the) east, outsiders from Rome. Outsiders came to Iceni, rotten & merciless, (to) gather (the) wealth. They stole from (the) Queen, stole from (the) clans. Outsiders destroyed homes, they burn(ed) fields, enslave (the) people. (The) clans fought, but (the) Queen & her daughters were captured, they (were) injured, they had scars/emotional damage. Because of those events, Boudica felt a desire for vengeance. The Queen spoke to her people:

Freedom is better than shackles, we know this. We lived both. (The) people of Rome hate us! They threaten, they rob, they kill! They take our land, our families! It stops! Today! I can't live under their rule. None can. Their deaths must come when their boots touch our soil. We wait(ed) to act. We were wrong! We take back our families now, our wealth, our lands.

War began with (the) Romans. (The) Iceni fought across fields and through cities. Homes burned. Roman blood spilled everywhere. (The) Queen & her clans were merciless. To far London they go to burn (the) city. Many Romans fell to sword, to knife, to fist. But Romans decieve. They hide on defended/high ground. They hide with spears. (The) Inceni arrive at (the) pass. Death comes from sky, like rain.

Lances (are) all around, blood (is) all around. (The) Iceni fall.

But the people don't forget Boudica, Queen of (the) Iceni, many centuries beyond (the) war. People made Boudica from metal (statue) in London. She (will be) remember(ed) forever.

Ni miit'gaana gehat'ika be Boudica - I write the story of Boudica

-=Changelog: Swapped in 'alori', the conjugated form of the verb 'alorir - to lead' from the noun 'an'gyce - rule/ law'.
