With a big beefy nail that looks like horror when born, and smashes and rubs into place in their first day.
If they don’t give you nightmares, you don’t understand how they work.

monthsuh, just minutes looking for a variation on this exact image! Thank you!I posted the artist name as a top level comment.
skittering around on your fingertips
what a vile existence, I cannot stop imaging it
Horses know how the world works, that’s why they’re always giving it the middle finger.

When they’re born, they’re called foal slippers.
