Pixie
Y756 Glenmore doe

Entertainer (jester)
Notes: Currently working for Lord Ariel; you can certainly change that once she's yours, but make sure you take it up with him!


All I ask:
Let me know if you decide you don't want them anymore. That's all.
You're not obliged to return them to me, or keep them up with a certain amount of activity, or to follow whatever path I'd started putting them. I'd just like to know where they're at, if they go somewhere else. I really adore them and don't want them lost to oblivion! D:

Fill out this quick form if you'd like any of them:
forms.gle/ma2gZgz5c3BCMW5X8

I really love these guys, but I do not have the time to commit to them alongside my other fawns. Hopefully someone else might enjoy them now!

Nimwen | Doe | Soldier by cafe-araignee

WOW I'm alive again and missing this Fawnling in particular like crazy!! I would love love love to do some RPs, particularly set in the past, to get my love up to speed and meet more of your lovely fawns.


Stat boosting
Nimwen is a soldier, now! Anything military-related would be perfectly fitting; training, missions, tousling with fellow soldiers, anything! Or, set in the past -- recruit youngsters work just as well!
Nimwen's father, Beleg, is a guard, and much of Nim's dedication to the military came from him. Any higher-ups willing to push her to be more like him, or use it as a reason to hold her to a higher standard, are more than welcome. (Honestly, any higher-up willing to push her hard in training would be perfect. Toughen her up!)

Magic training
As a prospective stormsoldier, magic is important for Nimwen to know! The wind is deeply rooted in her heart. She admires those who are skilled or who love it as much as she does. Whether your fawnling could mentor her, or just practice for fun -- or any other excuse to use magic -- Nim wouldn't hesitate.

Allied friends/enemies
I'd love for her to find buddies and rivals, especially within her fellow soldiers (or, in the past, recruits)! Meek/timid characters not recommended. After all, she hasn't much patience. You've got to earn her respect; Nim forms opinions fast, and won't give you much thought until she sees what you're made of! ;D

Non-Allied friends/enemies...?
If Nimwen's not needed elsewhere, she's exploring... she could meet just about anyone! She could bump into a nomad, a Loyalist, or maybe even someone traveling from another herd! Be warned, she may pick a fight first, and ask questions later. We'll see!~

Romance
I have plans for her future, and they definitely don't include love just yet. But heck, it's still funny to flirt! I have no problems with a stag or doe hitting on her... Nim (probably) won't appreciate it, though. c;

Amadan | Stag | Tutor by cafe-araignee
He's baaaack! And he's here to stay. I've missed writing for this guy, and boy does he deserve to make up for lost time. You know what that means... Let's see your Oakies!


Tutoring
As a tutor, Ama teaches water magic. He prefers teaching young fawns, as it makes him happy to guide them on their first steps, and he's more at-ease with children in general. However all levels and ages are welcome.

Friends/enemies
Ama has very few friends, currently. :') He needs to get out more! With his personality, he'd get along best with those who are patient and forgiving. But hey, not getting along can be fun, too. ;D 

Eep, fawntakers!
Fawn sacrifices and fawntakers in general are not his favorite thing. He attends every fawn sacrifice for the sake of loyalty, but he hates it; it would be delicious for a fawntaker who loves their job to get up in his grill, and make sure he's watching every second of the ceremony... or run into one with a freshly-captured fawn... or bump into one in general. They all freak him out. ;D

LGBT Pride & Support Show


Winners!


GUYS. This was was so, SO hard to judge! I never want to have to judge a show again! ;v; I was so impressed by the outcome of this show, and by the effort of every single entrant! It means more than I can express to have had no many people enter the show, since the theme was very important to me, and I'm very grateful!

I'm really sorry if you didn't place as high as you might've hoped! My judging had nothing to do with how much I liked your entry (I loved them all, truly!). I tried to judge 100% on effort (did you add shading? how about a story? did you put work into little details? etc), but I can only tell so much by looking, and I gave a few bonus points to creativity. I honestly wish I could've given those of you who didn't place the top 3 a better prize than a participation ribbon, but alas. </3 Your entry helped counted towards the total Trevor Project donation, so thank every single one of you for taking part in this event!
Speaking of the donation...

Trevor Project Donation


True to my word, now that the results are here, I will be donating $1 for every show entry! ♥ Our grand total was...

$76!

This is an amazing turnout, and I'm thrilled with it! I had no idea this show would turn out like this, especially since it was the first show I've ever hosted, and I could not be more grateful. Perhaps this show will become an annual one; I'd be more than happy to hold it again and spread more love around the LGBT+ community. Big thanks once again to everyone who participated and helped this show be such a big success!

Judge's Choice!


I just love this overall image presentation and the personality-packed story! I'm also so impressed that the shading was done without a ref; it's so detailed and was clearly drawn with a lot of care. The pose itself is full of action, too -- look at the movement in the mane and tail! This really is a beautiful image.

:new: JUDGING IS COMPLETE! SEE THIS JOURNAL FOR THE RESULTS: fav.me/d91wc3r

LGBT+ Stamp by Kezzi-Rose
As a member of the LGBT community myself, I find having pride in oneself to be extremely important, despite how hard it can be to have. You are beautiful just the way you are, and it's always good to be reminded of how many people are out there who support you for being yourself. The HA-RPG community is no exception, so why not have an LGBT event to spread some much-needed love and support?


Rules and Other Information

It is recommended that entrants read everything! Yes, everything. :stare:

:bulletwhite: For every entry, I will be donating $1 of my own money to the Trevor Project!
:bulletwhite: All breeds are welcome, including non-horses, such as shedus, tokotas, and HARPG Fawnlings.
:bulletwhite: The show officially closes June 29th, 12:00 AM Central Standard Time (I will be giving everyone a few hours exception if they really need it), and is being held at Thundering Echo Stables (click for a map of the stable grounds).
:bulletwhite: Judging for this show is effort based! Pictures must be fullbodies, and if it is a mounted class, show the rider entirely. Tracing/refs are okay if you give credit. NO USING PREMADE LINEARTS.
:bulletwhite: You don't have to be a member of the LGBT community to participate; support from everyone is welcomed!
:bulletwhite: If the rider feels comfortable doing so, they can customize their tack or other apparel with the colors of any sexuality/identity flag.
:bulletwhite: Formal attire is not necessary, so casual clothing is fine, but helmets are required for the sake of safety. Appropriate tack must be used in all classes except for the mini race.
:bulletwhite: Despite the dates, the show is meant to be set in the spring! Green grass and blooming flora is what you'll see outside.
:bulletwhite: If your horse is misbehaving or encountering some kind of accident in the entry, it will not affect your score.
:bulletwhite: You may enter in as many classes as you like! You may also enter up to two horses per class (except for the mini race, in which you can enter up to five horses).


Classes


Show Jumping
Held at dawn in the outdoor arena, starting at 7 AM. The sky is clear, save for a few scattered clouds. It's a little chilly, so you may want to wear something with long sleeves!
Beginner to advanced course; pick what suits your horse's skill level best.


Freestyle Dressage
Held in the morning in the outdoor arena, starting at 10 AM. The sun has risen, and it has warmed up considerably since the show jumping class. Pas De Deux entries are allowed.
Classical or modern. All levels welcome.


Cross Country
Held in the afternoon in the back cross country course, starting at 12 PM. There few clouds here and there, and the weather is warm with a small breeze.
Beginner to advanced course; pick what suits your horse's skill level best.


:new: This class has been cut because of the lack of interest.
Western Pleasure
Held in the afternoon in the outdoor arena, starting at 3 PM. The sun is high in the sky, and the weather feels warmer than it was during the cross country class, partly because the breeze has gone.
All levels welcome.


Freestyle Reining
Held in the late afternoon in the outdoor arena, starting at 5 PM. The weather is the same as it was during the western pleasure class.
All levels welcome.


Free Jumping
Held in the early evening in the outdoor arena, starting at 7 PM. The sky is still bright & blue, and the weather is the same as earlier.
Height is up to you; pick what suits your horse's skill level best.


Mini Race
Held in the evening on the front "runway" (NOT a racetrack; view link below), starting at 9 PM. The sky is clear, the weather is mild, and the sun is starting to set.
To kick off the last day, we're having a mini race! We're sure you noticed that stretch of grass alongside the driveway when you arrived, freshly mowed and completely empty. The ground is flat and even, and wide enough for many to gallop across. This is NOT a formal race, so keep in mind that this is for fun, not to see who's the fastest! Hell, you can use a pony for all we care. ;P You are allowed to ride without any tack if you wish!
Starting/finish line placement: sta.sh/01typoa28x8r
