So, back in March 2025, @elodieunderglass ran a little event where, if you completed a creative project of some description by the end of the month, Killie would get one whole egg!
This surpassed all expectations, and Killie ended up getting over one hundred and fifty eggs by the time March ended, and we got some very good artwork indeed, and also spent a not-insignificant amount of time considering how Killie would use that many eggs.
So, now, it's back, in the form of a dedicated blog, so that Elodie's followers don't get bombarded by eggs. It's not ran by @elodieunderglass, but, it is done with official permission, and even with official art for the profile picture and banner!
So far, we have given Killie one hundred and fifty-three eggs, and counting!
Killie is @elodieunderglass's original character.
He's an angry little racehorse jockey with an unfortunate psychic connection to his rancid racehorse frenemy (O Holy Thunder), a redemption-arc relationship with his nice nerdy boyfriend (Derek), an elusive twin brother (Charlie) and a messy, rambling family of horse-obsessed weirdos who are overly-invested in the fascinating, complex, dirty, problematic and unhinged world of horse racing.
He is a short athletic ginger jock like an angry little wet cat, who is always getting injured, and we love him for this.
How do I get Killie an egg?
You send an ask, containing a description of the creative work you are embarking on. If you're on anon, you must also include your url, so we can make sure you see it when your ask is posted, otherwise it will be deleted.
That ask then gets to replied to, thirty days later, and you reblog that with an update on the project, stating if you consider the egg's condition complete, which we in turn reblog if you managed it!
What counts for Killie to get an egg?
Strictly speaking, art, however, we make no attempt to define what "art" actually is, drawing, painting, writing, music, calligraphy, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Basically, almost anything goes.
Why should I do any of this?
For two reasons, first, accountability, some people work better with a deadline, and, if you are one of those people, want said deadline to be exactly thirty days, and also themed around a fictional jockey getting an egg, then, you've come to the right place.
Second, recognition, no matter what, you know that your art is seen by, at the very least, me, and also some portion of this blog's followers.
Anything else I should know?
Tags, we have two common ones, #egg reminder, which is responding to asks, and, #egg result!, which is reblogging the finished works.
Mod Posts, these come around now and then, under the #modpost tag.
Hall of Fame, the very very very best works people have done in order to get Killie another egg, and are under the #parade ring tag.
Timezone, this blog runs off UK time, so, if you need to be precise, make sure to take that into account.
