#era talks

Not complaining, 100% here for it, but I feel like a guy going "did I forget something? Birthday? Anniversary? Shit."

Alright, let me start with saying THIS IS NOT MY ART.

This was sent to me by a wonderful artist (of who you can see the watermark in the lower right hand corner), santsukii. I asked for permission to share it and they said yes. So this is shared, with permission and I am not taking credit for it.

With all that out of the way:

LOOK AT MY BOY. LOOK AT HIM. THE LIGHTING ON THIS AFSDKLJ;JKHGFDASLK;JFSD--

To anyone who doesn't know what this is depicting, this is a scene from my Batman fanfic, "The Birds: Hatching Family" (here is a link to the full series). That's Dick, and I am assuming the dark figure behind him is...

hello! i recently remade my blog, so, uh, why not try my hand at making a promo post for the first time as it seems like they’re going around. i’m era and have been in the self-ship community for a fair few months now. i’m in my twenties, and my main f/o is ishtar from fate/grand order. sometimes i write when i’m not stewing in anxiety, but mostly i reblog an assortment of imagines and prompts and just other self-ship things. let's be friends!

So this took me a bit because whoops, turns out I don't have any recent photos of the goobers on my phone! Also, I'm a dummy and went out to the barn in my nice shoes, lol.

This is Toppers Cytarus! Look how much grey he has! I couldn't get a good picture but the fur along his mane is all grey too! Cytarus is our oldest, about 32 (1993). I have no idea how or why my mom ended up buying a papered Arab stud colt in the 90s, when our mares were a sturdy fat-ass Morgan, a mustang and her half-Arabian daughter, and... OK, Kastara might have been an Arab. Cytarus did come from tall horses and is decidedly not, so that could be a factor. He's had a few nasty health scares and is really hard to keep weight on these days but has also out-lived several sons.

It was hard to get a pic cause he just wanted to be up in my business getting loved on and I certainly wasn't gonna turn the old man away!

This is Regal Summers Surprise. Regal was the first foal we ever had, and we hadn't even known his dam was pregnant when we found the pair of them along the driveway. Regal Summers Joy (Summer) was a Morgan mare who was fat no matter what we did, and had failed to breed for years because of diagnosed ovarian cysts. Then bam, surprise baby!

Damien is our youngest... At like. 15 or something. Probably. He's... The least Arabian looking Arab horse I've ever seen but he has to be because Cytarus was our only bay stud and his mother Chiana is a chestnut. I keep forgetting he's not a mutt, just a result of accidental line-breeding.

He's often first to the barn to see if Cytarus has left anything behind.

Speaking of:

Chiana! She looks alot like her dam, Bint Al Bayda.

But without her mother's arthritic knees. Fingers crossed. Though Bayda's knees were definitely showing signs of trouble after 20. Bayda was 13 when I was surprised with her my 10th birthday present, and I showed and did parades and colour guard for years with her until they started to give her trouble. (I quit showing for unrelated reasons but still did parades and other 4-H events with her)

This is Eva. Her dam was my mom's arab/mustang heart-horse Keyaira, and her sire is Regal. We had actually sold Eva to the daughter of a now-ex-friend who used her for western gaming. She came back to us when she was failing to maintain body condition where she was being boarded, and then the girl failed to meet her end of the boarding agreement we had when we agreed to take her back in.

At the same time, we ended up with Summer (no relation to the previously mentioned Summer), the grey in the background that I couldn't get a closer picture of, who had belonged to the girl's mother and was abandoned with us when she moved away.

Here's a bonus! The heifers we kept this year (Sara and Katy), the one we bought (the red brockle face Jeanie), and the horses coming up to the barn.

Warning, my voice sounds like ass but that could be the dysphoria.

Knock knock

Who is there?

Is Jayson!!! 😀

FASDL;KJADFGSLKAFSDJL;KASDFJ JASON MY BOI---

so back on my reread! i was talking to a friend in my dms and i pointed out that both of the new usernames w0 used has 14 letters. then my friend pointed out- what else has 14 letters? evilxisumavoid. additionally, the ORIGINAL username had 10 letters-and so does evilxisuma. this would also explain w0 thinking it was "clever". what i CANNOT, for the LIFE OF ME, figure out, is what cipher you used or what is being used to encode it. the repeat numbers are really throwing me off- 33 in place of i & s in the first one, 11 in place of i & L in the second... additonally the constant trait of W0/wo is peculiar. ..maybe it ISN'T a cipher and is specifically the letter count? if this IS ex: this implies a shocking amount of self-awareness from him! ....could be a red herring as well. you could be laughing at me in the distance for falling for the obvious red herring, but that's a-okay!

Kay, so obviously I can't say anything because SPOILERS but--

Keep reading.
