[Cobra Kai] I continue to love this whole dumb series and the fact it's self-aware about having a former Green Beret obsess about/constantly stir up teenage high school drama
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
and Elisabeth Shue is a fucking treasure
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
and how there are 80 fights a week in this town and nobody calls the cops ever
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
e v e r
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
but tbh that logic still makes sense when you watch an 80's movie
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
and how all these kids are still apparently white belts??
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
If you're in a trach choke from behind and someone forcefully kicks your assailant off of you

you are probably dead

you say that like I don't want to hear all this?
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
excellent because there's a lot
Lady Stardust
I love you both so much
Lady Stardust
one day I'll find a movie with horses, hawks and martial arts in it and we can all watch it together
Lady Stardust
and be a singularity of joyous nitpicking
Lady Stardust
we saw that! It had a Frisian!
Lady Stardust
anyway it was amazingly free of bad falconry
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
wow really? that makes me happy
Lady Stardust
I mean, apart from using an American species in a country clearly inspired by Europe
Lady Stardust
and since I don't think it was a real country I have to allow the redtail
Lady Stardust
me too, I saw it in the cinema when it was new
Lady Stardust
not saying that was why I became a falconer but it was definitely an influence
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
I grew up with it. Michelle Pfeiffer <3
Lady Stardust
but I only know the horse was a Frisian because I watched it with AJ
Lady Stardust
Friesian, I always thought you spelled themnot* like the cow
Lady Stardust
but apparently I'm wrong and also fail at plurk code
๐•Š๐•ฅ๐•š๐•๐•โ„๐•š๐•˜๐•™๐•ฅโ„๐•–๐•ฃ๐•–
I love watching friesians as much as the next girl but oh my GOD can we please stop using them as The Fantasy Horse
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
Plurk code is notoriously dumb
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
what IS your version of Fantasy Horse?
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
(I loved the white one at the end more than Goliath, sorry black horse)
Lady Stardust
they were war horses!
Lady Stardust
and they are super pretty

there's nothing wrong with a good andalusian or a nice strong mountain pony if that's where your hero is from
Lady Stardust
okay, you're right, mountain ponies are awesome
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
You want to watch Denny don't you
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
I cannot believe that man had never ridden a horse before this movie, and he did his own riding stunts
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
fucking loooove this movie
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
we need more brumby movies
Lady Stardust
how did I forget Rutger Hauer was in this as well
Lady Stardust
yes brumbies
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
he was a brand new actor, they probably figured they could replace him easily if he fell off
๐•Š๐•ฅ๐•š๐•๐•โ„๐•š๐•˜๐•™๐•ฅโ„๐•–๐•ฃ๐•–
unpopular opinion: if it can't be a brumby, my vote for Andalusians
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
Hollywood: if it's not a Friesian it has to be a Thoroughbred those are the only two kinds of horse

(although I see why they don't use them in movies/shows as much, they're much harder to match)

I think the Black Stallion and Black Beauty have a lot to do with it too

I always wanted a black Arabian... then I learned to do English and jumping on an Arabian and thought, "hell no"...
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
now I just want a red roan mustang. Doesn't matter that I can't ride anymore I'll just wash her and brush her and walk her with Norman
Lady Stardust
I would like a big old sofa of a horse
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
Chou I plan our life in animals
Lady Stardust
with hairy feet
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
Gypsy Vanner!
Lady Stardust
and I want my hawk and my collie back
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
AJ DID I TELL YOU ABOUT THE MUSTANGS I was in the park next to their paddocks a couple weeks ago?
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
If not I will also tell Liz 8D
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
I wish I could give those back to you
Lady Stardust
TELL ME ABOUT THE MUSTANGS
Lady Stardust
well, if we're talking a universe where I was well enough to ride again I may as well have my hawk and my hound back
๐•Š๐•ฅ๐•š๐•๐•โ„๐•š๐•˜๐•™๐•ฅโ„๐•–๐•ฃ๐•–
also can confirm, my sister rode a drumhorse and said it was like trying to steer a sofa
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
Okay so the mustang paddocks are huge, for being in the city anyway, and they go through this heavily wooded park. These are the horses I've worked with as a volunteer for a few years, they're all rescues from the range so they are in fact very wild, but Marsha trains them and gentles them and they're wonderful
Lady Stardust
if you want a horse to go hawking on it needs to be a sofa
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
there's one horse, Daisy, who's just a 16.5 hand sorrel with a blaze. Her thing when I'd get in there with her and her group of mustangs was to trot over to me and put her head in my chest so I could scratch her ears
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
big fucking dog horse
Lady Stardust
awwwww
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
she saw me in the park and started nickering and when I came over she leaned her head over the fence and onto my chest
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
I hadn't seen her in two years at least
Lady Stardust
/high pitched noises
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
she's the greatest ;;
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
I'm realizing now that the reason I didn't tell AJ was so I could surprise her with a date night there :| oops
Lady Stardust
ahahahaha
Lady Stardust
it won't be even slightly less awesome
Lady Stardust
and please take a picture for me
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
Will do! There are semi-tame foxes in the park too, I'll try to get some pics of them next time I'm out there
Lady Stardust
I'm up to my neck in foxes round here
Lady Stardust
they're beautiful but they're assholes
Lady Stardust
they will piss on every dog toy you leave outside
Lady Stardust
and you won't notice till your collie gets it all over his fur and then all over your clothes
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
haha oh god I believe it. These ones just chill in the park and tease dogs through a fence
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
Foxes are PUNGEANT
Lady Stardust
and it stinks like you wouldn't believe plus it;s fucking oily
Lady Stardust
yeah, they would tease my dogs too
Lady Stardust
they know perfectly well when a dog's on leash so they'll just stand ten feet away SMIRKING
Lady Stardust
while my dogs pulled my arm out of its socket to Wild Hunt sound effects
Lady Stardust
fucking jerks
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
We had raccoons at my house when I was in high school. They decided to live in our chimney. Not the chimney out back where we sometimes had barbecues, no, the one on the house two stories up. Their greatest joy was harassing my cat. their second greatest was trying to get the flue open so they could come in the house
Troy๐Ÿ‘ปMcClure
they look so cute in pictures but in person all your brain can think is "I'm going to lose a limb"
Lady Stardust
oh god
Lady Stardust
I mean, I love them but yeah
Lady Stardust
it's like what if foxes had hands and could climb
