You can call me Sol! (My real name is sun-adjacent).

My interests include video games, anime, language and linguistics, singing/songwriting, and most importantly creative writing. Last year was my most productive year to date with my writing with getting 480k words written during the 6 month window where I was utterly hyper-focused on it. I want that type of focus back now! 

I was studying Japanese and Linguistics at uni before I decided to take a break - I've always enjoyed learning languages, and I really enjoyed my linguistics classes even if I sucked at the work. 

I actually started learning baritone ukulele last year and it was the best decision I ever made: it got me into writing song-writing which is such a satisfying form of creative expression to pursue. I shall happily write amateur songs forevermore! 

Anyways, the dream ever since I was 5 has been to be a writer so I've been taking the time away from uni to write and write and write. I wish I could say I enjoyed reading as much - and this might just be blasphemy to admit - but honestly it's been a very long time since I enjoyed reading as earnestly as I did when I was younger. My favourite book is The Hobbit and I collect different covers of it when I can (this does not mean I have read it often or know the story back to front. I just thoroughly enjoy that universe).

My favourite TV show of all time is the BBC's The Adventures of Merlin. I could watch only that show for the rest of my life and I would be perfectly happy. I think I watched the entire thing about 4-5 times last year and I expect 2024 to be no different 

I also play Dragon Age, Mass Effect, The Elder Scrolls, Rune Factory, Pokemon, Genshin Impact, and Overwatch (among others). 

I used to play Howrse back in 2008-2010 when I was way younger and cuter but I ended up losing my account Ponyclubsecrets (I assume due to inactivity). I'm 23 now and I kind of miss working my way through the ranks and becoming a better player so I'm back! Even though my real life horse phase is ended a long time ago, I will always have a special place in my heart for them. All my horsey knowledge comes from Stacy Gregg and this website ahahaha.

My Chincoteague ponies Comet and Ali will forever live on in my heart even if they aren't around anymore ^_^ 

I thought it would be retired by now but by some miracle I found it! I only missed it because it wasn't compatible with Helios Ray - on my old account I joined before Helios Ray was added to the game  I've never bought a GA so fast (or an honorary Chincoteague Pony to bear said coat. Comet is in my fave horses above if you're curious)

I thought I would start over with a different breed this time, so now I have some gorgeous Connemara ponies, Merlin and Mavis. Now that I'm older and wiser I might even make better progress than on my old account, when Howrse was like the wild west to me and I had no idea how anything even worked. I just clicked a bunch of buttons and counted my blessings :'D

I also ended up accidentally breeding Lusitano horses - I went a little crazy in the auctions and now I have a whole line of them...? I love Arthurian legend hence the affix Friend of Camelot and I have also learned in my week of being back that I find BLUPing horses incredibly addictive so if you happen to bump into my lovelies in any/all competitions that is why. Poor Guinevere has been in comps all week but the wins just won't come but she'll get there eventually! 

Just wanted to add that in case. It's been a massive stress-reliever actually - there's something about loading screens that just unleashes a demon, and instead of getting stressed about tending to my Divines I actually look forward to it now 

I'm at a place in my game now where I actually have some pretty nifty Lusitanos! If you see any from The Round Table (or elsewhere) that you'd like to use for coverings for your own mares feel free to send me a DM. 

- Coverings from my current top stallion are 6,000 equus.

- Coverings from the rest of the The Round Table are 3,000 equus.

- If you are looking for a covering for any horse you own with the Friend of Camelot affix, top stallion coverings will be 50% off. Every bit counts, right?
