He wanted it... 🐴

I was told by @ndostairlyrium that the new ad for italian snacks Buondì ("Good day") has big Aisling energy. And so of course I had to. Because it does.

Translation.

"You want it, uh? You want it??"

Cullen: *a wide arrangement of "But-!!!" Aisling: "He wanted it... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "

For all new followers: HI! That is Aisling's horse, a small Dalish All-Bred with an attitude, named Little Brother. Don't worry she'll be fine, she's used to it by now. Cullen, a little less so, but she won't tell the horse anything worse than "Bad horsey!" and say he's right in defending himself if she bullies him, so...

Son of Hell long to the sky, Lift your spirit, set it free 🎶

I read one too many tag about Little Brother the Inquisitor's mighty (in presence, not in size) steed that I decided to quickly draw him a villain origin story.

He's also an over-achiever, because he also became the war horse for a noble Knight (Enchanter) Lady. Mama would be proud.

More lore about this chaotic neutral equine under the cut!

So, he was born in Orlais in the house of a random Comte. And they started to train him as a war horse, because his father was the prized stallion that brought the latest Comte into battle. Except, he had other ideas. He's too intelligent for his own sake, started challenging the trainer and be A PROBLEM. He was deemed not worthy to spend the energy of because he was not docile, and destined to working task.

e wasn't treated well by any means, until a certain elf saw him trying to bite of the pole of the carriage he was attached to. Bite the person who hit him. She fell instantly in love and used the money she was allotted by the Inquisition to buy him (refusing the perfectly tamed and prized hart a clan sent her because yes yes the hart is pretty but it was a gift out of fear and THAT HORSE HAS CHARACTER I LIKE HIM.

Training him was a long and tiring job, he had no trust left in people and his defense choice was FIGHT. He bit Aisling, bumped her on the ground, acted up, be impossible to deal with, be the nightmare of the stables, hinder her while cleaning his box and feeding him, once he scared her shitless by laying on his side and pretending to be dead (it turned out it's his favourite position for naps). She... Stayed there. Going from simply staying in the paddock with him and doing nothing to bother him, with apples if he wanted them. To slowly, SLOWLY, being accepted. She grew on him like moss. became his friend until he let her ride him and work with him.

Lavellan named him Isa'ma'lin, also known in Common as "Little Brother" because she can't be bothered explaining and correcting pronounciations every time.

Such a sanguine horse proved himself to be really valuable in battle: he's not scared by much of anything, he WILL attack enemies, made a name for himself in the Western Approach as "The horse who likes biting Venatori in the arse". Add a Dorian in a lot of discomfort around him because who knows if he can tell good from bad Tevinters (he can, but he also relish in him being scared).

If you ask Aisling, he's the "Best horsey in the whole wide world". Which is a highly unpopular opinion in Skyhold. New staff in the stables needs to pass a fire trial: if they stay after feeding him and act well when finding him in a "carcass mode nap", they're officially hired.

And as for yesterday's post: They both survived, Cullen is in Little Brother's good graces and he allows him to pet him (Cullen does some very good scritches, so he's friend). BUT, the horse is a prick with a bad sense of humour. If he sees you scared, HE WILL ACT UPON IT AND PRANK YOU. So. (he didn't buck, they both survived, Solas could return back to the rotunda taking away the first aid kit he brought with him)
