First. Shame on you to ever consider step-cest. Its lame.

Second. Step who of who? Did I somehow miss some character having step-sister? Or is night-time finally got to me and I am starting to become to sleepy too have a proper conversation, of which I won't lose track?

The latter is definitely true. But I think I'll have enough wits for another post.
oh i used it wrongly i meant half-sister

Dammit! You mean Malice? Alabaming her goes without question, yes. Half-sib kobolding may work too, but we all know she won't accept it. Unlike Enid, who does not have a say in the matter.

Besides, if we are already doing dad-daughter breeding, its all the more reason to do mom-son breeding as well! Its like Ying-Yang, basically! You can have one without the other, but having both brings great harmony! And makes Fantasy Alabama stronk!

I apologize if I gave the impression the world was worth it without the little sunshine (or lack of sunshine). I only tried to weed out a heretic.

The only bad thing about Malice is her wanting to be a grown up and using time magic way too soon: she was so cute as a child
Yeah. No matter how much of kid Malice we'd get, we will never have enough. She is just the cutest most adorable fuzzball. And her conversations with Mother (who is technically her great-granma?) were one of the most interesting parts of the game.

I was planning to do an Infernals run and I already feel that I'll miss Proteans and their Deep Lore shenanigans.

You know what they do with lame horses, right?
1711701998812.png
This is because horses have barely any blood or muscles in their legs. its mostly skin, bone, and tendon.
Combined with the bones being huge in the absolute (lots of resources to fix), but light and tiny in comparison to the rest of the body (fragile yet must bear enormous PSI).

Then factor an absolute biological NEED to stay upright almost all the time (prolonged lying down will cause horrible damage and lead to death. Horses sleep standing up) and being too heavy to reliably do so on 3 legs... it means they simply do not heal from a broken bone. Cherry on top, the horse's instincts which will result in it rebreaking constantly as it tries to heal.

There have been many attempts. you can pour in tens of millions of dollars into a single horse, with massive amount of equipment and human labor and knowledge, invested into trying to heal a broken leg for a horse. and it just failed and the horse eventually died in horrific agony.
(there are exceptions depending on the exact nature of the injury. some injuries can heal)

However. equestrian ponies are very light, very durable, have much better ratio of legbone size to body weight, and are perfectly capable of lying down on their back to rest, and are sapient enough to understand and suppress their instincts to ensure proper healing.
All in all, they should be capable of healing a broken bone just fine

To quote the great sources:

But jokes aside - you are very on-point. Though I think nowadays its not THAT big of an issue, just an incredible lot of hassle. I've heard there are methods - the horse should have its leg fixed, should be placed in suspended harness in its pen, being daily cared, massaged, fed proper diet, vet checking on it frequently, it should be given some short exercises to give her body a breather, etc. I don't think its a question of tens of millions, but that would be very expensive and very hard, and would require a lot of time.

As for the ponies of Equestria - they can actually stand on two legs. Not their preferred way, but the fact they can do it speaks volumes about how strong they are to their body mass. But they are also kinda magical, all of them, so its not a fair comparison.


But the point (of dragon's cock) was (sadly not) on centaurs (centaur fucking when?!). The problem is - where horse has its head, they have an entire human upper body. They are noticeably heavier than a horse of comparable size, and to distribute the weight evenly, would probably have to grow some extra thicc bums. So, for them the problem of broken leg is even more dire, hence my comment.

How the centaur is supposed to walk on three legs? And perform as chief? Not fall behind everyone, retain enough prowess to deal with upstarts, etc?

There is so much mystery hidden there! So much goddamn mystery!

That is actually the 10s of millions of dollars thing I was talking about
Suspended harness for long enough duration harms the horse severely and kills it.
Water suspended harness helps a bit but still very problematic

Oh that is totally fair argument. I was just nerding out about the accuracy of the MLP skit that was clearly a joke

You know, it is kinda sadly ironic how fragile our most durable animal companions (if we discount elephants, of course) can be sometimes. :unsure:

You sure about that?
Even if we discount the height. Cows are bulkier and heavier than horses.
View attachment 3507262
Okay, you are right! Google tells me that heaviest cows registered weighted around whooping 2 tones, almost 500 kilos heavier than the heaviest horse (on my pic, 1540 kilo).

The one on yours is built like brick wall on legs. Would probably total a semi if it'd crash into it.

Hope it will remain a hypothetical though. That cow is really freaking cute and I want to pat its muzzle. There is something truly special about both horses and cows, but if the former leans more into beauty, the latter leans heavily into cuteness.

Cows are cute. PERIOD.
