Sullivan loves animals

There is a running joke that **Sullivan loves animals** in a grown-up, special way. The joke began as a reference to horses, but has recently expanded to include pandas, fish, and vultures.

Note to prospective employers: This is a joke. Clearly.

Sullivan made many attempts to kill this joke but was often the main person keeping it going - 'yes... and'ing, and being unable to resist going for the bit. In the Patreon-exclusive Blood on the Clocktower episode *Your Willy Knows*, the cast claimed that they had agreed finally to kill it. We await the result, with interest - but as of *Snakes & Ladders, BUT ONLY SNAKES* and The PFK WWE2k23 TOURNAMENT!, it's not looking like that's happening.

In *Let's Play PICTURES*, there's another claim that we're putting the joke out of its misery. We'll see...

Brian Children also likes horses in the same way - this is one of the few connections between the two.

## Sightings

* A precursor to the main joke can be found in *Let's Play WAVELENGTH IIII*, when Sully agreed with TomSka that a horse was "a fairly sexy animal", but that Zebras were goofier.
* A second appeared in *Let's Play WESTERN LEGENDS*, when Sullivan said "I get 10 dollars for doing the cow. Not *doing* the cow..."
* Early evidence of the attractiveness of horses came during *Chess, But HORSES ONLY* when Sullivan and Adam sang a song about sexy horses.
* In *Let's Play CODENAMES II*, the clue was 'riding' and Tom and Sullivan discussed the word 'brush'. Sullivan said "you do brush the hair of the horse. And the lovely body", to which Adam replied "and of course the charming dick of the horse", and Sully said "the lovely, sexy dick of the horse". He stated that his ideal centaur was half horse, half horse. Tom requested (and the cast agreed) that the Wiki be updated to reflect the new addition to the canon: Sully fucks horses. Sullivan had to be restrained from guessing 'horse' for every clue in the 2nd round.
* In *Let's Play MONIKERS*, Brooke's clue for 'horse whisperer' was "person who says things gently to the animals that Sullivan fucks". Clues for horse-sized duck and duck-sized horse also referenced "things that Sullivan loves".
* In *Let's Play CATAN* to mix things up, the sheep fell in love with Sullivan, and followed him home.
* *Let's Play TAKENOKO* was the first instance of this joke explicitly expanding to cover all members of the animal kingdom. Sully began talking about sex with pandas during the talking heads.
* In *Blood and Steam* in the Red DREAD Redemption series, Sullivan played William H. Daft. He was concerned only with issues that affected him personally, like his lack of a horse. Adam replied "the first thing you want is a horse! Sullivan, you're not helping yourself." Daft replied "I just want a horse... I don't want to have sex with a horse... it could be a sexy horse, it doesn't have to be a sexy horse." They concluded that Daft didn't have sex with horses, yet. Sully said "AND NEITHER DO I!" Teri put a sign on camera to confirm that Sullivan('s character) did not fuck horses.
* *Let's Play BANG! (Patreon Exclusive)* led to "all the fish in the sea" being added to the list, after he admitted his beard made him look like a disgraced fisherman who "fucked loads of fish", thinking he could make a mermaid. Adam and Holly noted that Sully seems so sad about this joke off-camera, yet he 'yes and's this joke every single time. He tried to explain that the Takenoko talking head only looked bad because Teri had accused him of wanting to fuck pandas. When asked to make an official statement on fish fucking, he replied "don't take me to the aquarium." He was later accused of —and 'yes and'ed— the idea that he also fucked vultures.
* Sullivan got a new pet in *Game Of Life, But WORST. LIFE. EVER* - a sexy horse, with which he had a 'perfectly normal relationship'. He explained the context for new viewers, summarising: "I don't fuck horses. Not any more and never before. That's my rule."
* In *Snakes & Ladders, BUT ONLY SNAKES* we spent quite some time discussing sex with snakes. And ladders. There were songs, even. To be fair, Adam was just as involved.
* The joke's still not dead by *Let's Play HEAT: PEDAL TO THE METAL*, in which Sullivan had to cover his ears when horsepower was discussed. Just in case.
