On a Pale Horse (Umamusume/Youjo Senki)

[Wild Transient]

Shiroganes foray into her new school life with the Golden Generation,some Mejiros,Stay Gold and others look to be going well.

And yeah that staying power will prove useful once she gets up to par with the rest of her classmates.

As for Stay Gold continually staring at her?
Shirogane: Why do I feel like I'm in danger?

This is why I added the disclaimer that I only read fanfiction and not the original source, hah...still, by the like ratio I'm either close or plenty of others also missed the mark?

Still, he for sure isn't as immersed in the culture as a hardcore otaku, given his lack of social skills discouraging him chatting about it with people plus his intense focus on work eating into his time... probably, hah

It's interesting. There are a lot of things in Umamusume that, on first glance, you might be inclined to simply brush off as conceits of game mechanics or one-off jokes for a gag panel, not 'in character' to what's going on in the 'real story', as such.

But as time goes on and certain things pile up, you suddenly realize: this stuff is all actually happening.

Neo Universe lamenting a friend she never met in a world she'll never see (again).

People literally getting powerups from divine blessings and channeling the spirits of the ancestors.

Mad scientists stopping at nothing to plumb the nature of the world - and getting results.

Sunday Silence haunting her descendants and people like Manhatten Cafe who aren't just seeing things. There are things there doing things. That she can see.

Grandmothers leaving a grimoir for the kids and surprisepikachuface when they try out a ritual in it.

People like Marvelous Sunday or Maruzensky who can just casually slide into an astral realm in certain conditions.

When Rudolf talks about someone going 'in the zone', it's not just a figure of speech; they're literally tapping into another level of existence.

Umamusume is a low key supernatural setting, and I think it's interesting to see authors touch on that aspect.

@WrandmWaffles how supernatural do you plan on having the setting being? I know the zone is a part of the reason that top level umas or a tier above, so this made me curious on how supernatural the zone will be.

I think it refers to the fact that Air Groove had complications giving birth to her last child Chopin, though she stood through the pain to nurse them one time.

honestly I took it more to be about how tanya seems to have basically no real motivation as a racer and the comments about her not being from a racing family and the implications that she doesn't have much of a chance due to lacking the extra training and resources that gives being what put air groove off
