My Parents Know That I've Been Writing For A Long Time, They Read All My Short Stories And Novels (except

My parents know that I've been writing for a long time, they read all my short stories and novels (except fanfictions), especially to please me because science fiction and fantasy is not their thing. They do their best to be encouraging, but since these wouldn't be stories they would read for fun, they are often awkward and find my ideas weird! When I was a young author and doubted a lot about my writing, it hurt me, but now I really take it as encouragement.

for writers: do your family (specifically parents) know about your writing & if so are they supportive??

this question is mainly targeted at teenage or young writers / writers living with their parents but is also more general! please let me know as I’m really curious to find out and know whether or not I’m an anomaly. also if your family / friends are supportive of your writing or not!

Artiom

Au bout de deux ans, mon petit roman est enfin tout fini tout pesé tout emballé !

La vie, c’est pas marrant, surtout quand t’as pas d’argent, que tu vis avec un type qui est beaucoup trop gentil, beaucoup trop distrait et beaucoup trop artiste pour son propre bien, et même si, comparé à sa vie d’avant, pour Arseniy, c’est déjà un progrès, c’est quand même pas le Ritz… Le méprenez pas. Iouri, c’est un amour, mais en dehors des pages de son futur chef d’oeuvre littéraire, il voit pas grand chose. 

Alors quand il rencontre Artiom, qui est beaucoup trop joli pour faire la manche sur les berges du fleuve, Arseny qui s’ennuie quand même un peu décide que tout ça, la littérature, la bohême, la vie, ça sera bien mieux avec un peu de compagnie.

Mais s’il fallait compter sur Arseniy pour toujours faire les bons choix, ça serait bien trop facile, voyez-vous ?

Bref, si vous voulez découvrir l’histoire derrière tooouuuus les dessins de Arseniy, Iouri, Artiom et compagnie, c’est par là !

Horses are really fragile animals. Is it still a death sentence for a centaur if one of their equine limbs gets hurt? Or can they help it somehow?

Oh god, now I'm thinking of amputees and how those would work

Horses are SUPER fragile, or maybe more like delicately balanced.. but particularly their crazy spindle-legs which centaurs get to deal with! But a big part of why hurt legs are a death sentence for horses has less to do with "It kills them" and more to do with quality of life, which a centaur can get around! A horse with a broken leg doesn't understand it can't put ANY weight on that leg for an extended period and will attempt to go about their daily life and act normally, which basically guarantees re-injuring the bad leg and a high chance of injuring the other 3 legs as they try to cope with the change in balance and weight distribution. It all leads to a really poor quality of life with almost no chance of truly healing properly. The story of all they did trying to save Barbaro the racehorse is a long sad story that illustrates a lot of the issues even with modern veterinary medicine with trying to deal with a broken leg in horses.

Thankfully with centaurs, They understand the need for healing, are able to manage their own quality of life and have the gear to support themselves in the time it takes for the injury to heal!

Also perfectly good for long term use in the case of aging, amputation, or general disability! Which is common with the front legs and lower backs of centaurs given the unusual stresses caused by their body-plans. They were created with thicker and more robust front legs to cope with the permanent added weight of the torso instead of a horse head, but injury and disability in that area is still very common!

Injuries to the hind are less common and usually less severe, and given the hind legs bear less direct weight than the front they can usually get away with wraps and limping until it gets back to weight-bearing. Something like a rear amputation or ruptured tendon would probably require a custom harness/brace attached to a wheel like these and/or basically a peg leg!
