Sometimes people say they want more Zelda games without Ganondorf but see what *I* want is a game where like half the incidental characters you meet are obviously just Ganondorf in disguise spying on you.

My Biggest and Most Annoying Fictional Horse Pet Peeve
Big Horses are a Very New Thing and they Likely Didn’t Exist in your Historical and/or Fantasy Settings.
You’ve all seen it in every historical piece of media ever produced. Contrary to popular belief, a big black horse with long legs and long flowing mane is not a widespread or even a particularly old type of horse.
THIS IS NOT A MEDIEVAL THING. THIS IS NOT EVEN A BAROQUE THING. THIS IS A NINETEENTH CENTURY CITY CARRIAGE HORSE.
All the love to fancy Friesian horses, but your Roman general or Medieval country heroine just really couldn’t, wouldn’t, and for the sake of my mental health shouldn’t have ridden one either.
Big warmblood horses are a Western European and British invention that started popping up somewhere around 1700s when agriculture and warfare changed, and when rich folks wanted Bigger Faster Stronger Thinner race horses.
The modern warmblood and the big continental draught both had their first real rise to fame in the 1800s when people started driving Fancy Carriages everywhere, and having the Fanciest Carriage started to mean having the Tallest and Thinnest Horses in the town.
Before mechanised weaponry and heavy artillery all horses used to be small and hardy easy-feeders. Kinda like a donkey but easier to steer and with a back that’s not as nasty and straight to sit on.
SOME REAL MEDIEVAL, ROMAN, OTTOMAN, MONGOL, VIKING, GREEK and WHATEVER HISTORICALLY PLAUSIBLE HORSES FOR YOU:
“Primitive”, native breeds all over the globe tend to be only roughly 120-140 cm (12.0 - 13.3 hh) tall at the withers. They all also look a little something like this:
Mongolian native horse (Around 120-130 at the withers, and decendants of the first ever domesticated horses from central Asia. Still virtually unchanged from Chinggis Khan’s cavalry, ancestor to many Chinese, Japanese and Indian horses, and bred for speed racing and surviving outdoors without the help of humans.)
Carpathian native horse / Romanian and Polish Hucul Pony (Around 120-150 at the withers, first mentioned in writing during the 400s as wild mountain ponies, depicted before that in Trajanian Roman sculptures, used by the Austro-Hungarian cavalry in the 19th century)
Middle-Eastern native horse / Caspian Pony (Around 100-130 at the withers, ancestor of the Iranian Asil horse and its decendants, including the famous Arabian and Barb horses, likely been around since Darius I the Great, 5th century BC, and old Persian kings are often depicted riding these midgets)
Baltic Sea native horse / Icelandic, Finnish, Estonian, Gotland and Nordland horses (Around 120-150 at the withers, descendant of Mongolian horses, used by viking traders in 700-900 AD and taken to Iceland. Later used by the Swedish cavalry in the 30 years war and by the Finnish army in the Second World War, nowadays harness racing and draught horses)
Siberian native horse / Yakutian pony (Around 120-140 at the withers, related to Baltic and Mongolian horses and at least as old, as well-adapted to Siberian climate as woolly mammoths once were, the hairiest horse there is, used in draught work and herding)
Mediterranean native horse / Skyros pony, Sardinian Giara, Monterufolino (Around 100-140 at the Withers, used and bred by ancient Greeks for cavalry use, influenced by African and Eastern breeds, further had its own influence on Celtic breeds via Roman Empire, still used by park ranger officers in Italy)
British Isles’ native horse / various “Mountain & Moorland” pony breeds (Around 100-150 at the withers, brought over and mixed by Celts, Romans and Vikings, base for almost every modern sport pony and the deserving main pony of all your British Medieval settings. Some populations still live as feral herds in the British countryside, used as war mounts, draught horses, mine pit ponies, hunting help and race horses)
So hey, now you know!

Heyo!
You feel like randomly sharing some janaya HCs? Canon or Modern AU.
Anything goes.
Thx :=)
Absolutely!
Janai likes doing exciting things but she just thinks it's too silly because she's a queen now and she should be more serious, but Amaya takes her on these daring adventures, like rock climbing, ziplining, going down a river on a raft instead of a boat and while Janai initially protests, she always ends up having a very good time.
They're both morning people and wake up roughly at the same time but Amaya always gets out of bed first. She also likes making breakfast for Janai on weekends. She wasn't good at it in the beginning, being a soldier and all, but she improved over time and knows how to make Janai's favorite things.
Janai is the big spoon. She sleeps on the right side of the bed, while Amaya sleeps on the left.
Amaya didn't like dancing before meeting Janai. Hated, actually. But slowly, Janai showed her her favorite dances and moves and dancing with Janai felt different, felt special. At first Amaya was only comfortable dancing in private but since their wedding, she can dance in front of other people too, because she fully focuses on her wife and no one else exists for that moment (this is based on my own experience - I'm Amaya in this case xD)
They have a daughter (who is still nameless because I am terrible at names ToT). She was conceived with the help of Earth magic and Janai was the one who gave birth. (In my AU, Aaravos helps them with it because he and Janai are friends, despite everything)
When they started dating, they realized that they liked to read very different literature. Janai liked serious books about life, philosophy, history, while Amaya liked adventure books. However, they both occasionally secretly read trashy erotica and were too embarrassed to tell the other. They only found that out about each other once they married. By that time, Janai was quite good at sign language and was able to have a book discussion with Amaya.
Amaya wasn't a big fan of hand creams and stuff like that but Janai got her used to them. She didn't particularly care about various scented stuff, either until Janai helped her find the scents she actually liked.
They have a summer house outside the city where they get to escape to sometimes. In my post canon AU, Janai and Karim do actually become close again so they like to spend time there as all four of them and their daughters (Karim and Miyana also have a daughter, who's about half-a-year younger than Janaya's daughter).

I love animals that are, like, the opposite of cryptids: we know for a fact they exist and have a clear idea of what they look like because we have photographs and individual specimens, but we haven’t the faintest idea where they’re coming from - they just keep showing up out of nowhere, and the locations of their actual population centres are a complete mystery.

My recipe is for blackberry-frangipane tart, though I'm sure it could work with other fruit! (note: I tried with plums and found that the texture wasn't right, so maybe not with very juicy fruit)
For the frangipane filling, whisk in a bowl: white sugar (100g), melted butter (40g), almond powder (125g), and 2 eggs. If it looks a bit grainy rather than smooth that's normal. Spread it over whichever kind of crust you usually use for fruit tart (not sure what the English equivalent of pâte sablée is but that's the one I use)
Add your blackberries over it, enough to more or less cover the tart but only in one layer (you don't want to smother your frangipane). If you use frozen blackberries, do not unfreeze them before! It'll make the tart too watery.
Put in the oven for 20 to 40min at 180°C (depends on how powerful your oven is, but until the frangipane looks golden all over)
Bon appétit :) It's my favourite fruit tart!
