Asking Uma folks to not lewd the horses and then turning around and talking in-game about how King Halo has a great ass
A screenshot of Umamusume: Pretty Derby of an Agnes Digital Career Mode event titled "First-Rate Terms". A stressed-out Agnes Digital has her hands on her head while saying "Uh, no! Nonononono! There's more! Like your flowing hair! And the loud, proud way you laugh! And your stylish signature racewear. And that *caboose*-ooh, whoopsie." King Halo stands next to her with arms crossed and a very unimpressed look on her face.

imagine taking umamusume seriously instead of having the time of your life with it
A cropped screenshot from the official Umamusume: Pretty Derby English summary for Agnes Digital, showing her unique skill. The title is "OMG! (° ∀ °) The Final Sprint! ☆". The description is "Increase velocity and navigation with the pure euphoria of being within breathing distance of precious waifus after passing another runner 2 times late-race". Yes, this is verbatim, including the emoji face that I have no idea how a screen reader will handle. No, I am not using slang in an attempt to make this alt text summary funnier than the content already is.

This card's story is one of the funniest things this game has ever done

God bless this number one stupid idiot daughter
An Umamusume: Pretty Derby screenshot of a scene from "Learning to Look Scared", the second node in a Daiwa Scarlet SSR story card, showing a smiling Daiwa Scarlet and a smiling Marvelous Sunday standing on a beach in track suits. The dialogue box, with no name or speech bubble arrow to indicate anyone is speaking, says "And so Daiwa Scarlet sets out on her quest to become the world's funnest person to be around." An Umamusume: Pretty Derby screenshot of a scene from "Learning to Look Scared", the second node in a Daiwa Scarlet SSR story card, showing an angry, fist-brandishing Daiwa Scarlet and a shocked and upset Kitasan Sunday standing on a beach in track suits. Daiwa Scarlet is saying "That's it, I'm done! I need a break! No one talk to me! I'm going home!"

Ever think about how weird it is that the Umamusume setting has an industry dedicated to making plushies of real (in-universe) schoolgirls? Some of them might agree with you! Here's the definitive categorization of which of some Umas own or don't own which plushies.
A Tiermaker output categorizing some Umamusume: Pretty Derby characters based on in-universe plushie collections. Most names abbreviated due to character limit. From top to bottom: Owns huge collection of self plushies: McQueen, Opera Huge collection of self plushies is present in their dorm room, but they don't own it: DaiSca, Urara, Vodka Has fairly big collection of both self plushies and friend plushies: Tannhauser, Falcon, Taiki, Teio, Jordan Has one or two self plushies; collects lots of friend plushies: Machan, Curren, Helios, Motion, Bono, King, K S B, Ardan, Chiyono, Spweek, Tickezo Has no self plushies; collects lots of friend plushies: Doto, Dober, Rice, Bijin Has one or two self plushies and a few friend plushies: E C P, Inari, Fujin, Nishino, SatoDia, Suzuka, Z R R Has no self plushies and a few friend plushies: Air Groove, Flash, Natie, Rudolf Has no plushies because they are entirely indifferent about them: Bamboo Memory, Fuji, Grass, Maruzen, Palmer, Taishin Has no plushies because they accidentally destroyed so many they shamefully refuse to get any more: Kawakami, Ryan, Bourbon, Brian, Bakushin Has no plushies because they suck at the claw machine" Hayahide, Dictus, Festa, Windy, Tamamo, Turbo Has no plushies because they're all Umas and no trainers: Mayano, Creek Has no plushies because their giant collection of everyone on campus has long since been confiscated: Digital, Tachyon Has no plushies because they want nothing to do those creepy foul beasts from Hell: Vega, Cafe, Fukukitaru, Oguri, Sweepy, Muteki "Where's my NIL compensation, jackass?!": Shakur, Gold City, Hishiama, StP, Sky Has large collections of self plushies hidden off-campus; only a fool amasses their clone armies close by, keeping your squads separated is crucial to OpSec: Biko, Golsh, Happy Meek, Marv Sun

We've had a few months to marinade in official content in English, so it's time for one of these again, because this is the first one I actually feel fairly solidly confident in. (Any horse not ranked is one I don't know enough about to form any sort of opinion.)

A cropped screenshot of Ibaraki-Douji's Arm from the Touhou Project manga Wild and Horned Hermit. She has a wide open-mouthed smile that shows off a single fang on her left side. Her eyes are closed in a manner angles upward, and her arms are crossed in front of her. Below is a series of radio buttons labeled "I will protect it", "I want to see it grow up healthy", and "I want to tell my friends and neighbors about it", where the options are "Strongly Disagree", "Disagree", "Neutral", "Agree", and "Strongly Agree". The "Strongly Agree" option is selected for all three buttons.

I have officially evolved beyond the need for End Closers. #umamusume
A screenshot of Umamusume: Pretty Derby showing a team of Daiwa Scarlet, Mejiro McQueen, and Rice Shower having won a series of Gemini Cup Graded League Round 1 matches 5-0. All three look quite happy, Rice Shower in particular. A screenshot of Umamusume: Pretty Derby showing more detailed results of a string of five races in Gemini Cup Graded League Round 1. Three races were won by Mejiro McQueen, one was won by Rice Shower, and one was won by Daiwa Scarlet, demonstrating that the three Pace Chasers are relative equals, each capable of winning a race, rather than an ace and two supports. The corpses of various Gold Ships and Narita Taishins litter the list of non-winning teams.

Cinematic Parallels
A page from the Starting Gate! Umamusume: Pretty Derby manga. Special Week (on the right) is standing slightly awkwardly while directly facing and looking down at a kneeling Silence Suzuka (on the left), who is turning her head somewhat to the side to return the gaze, as her body is pointed more toward the viewer. Profile cut-ins on the sides of the page show both girls in different states of surprise at the encounter; Suzuka's face is more demure/timid/nervous, while Spweek's eyes are wider and her cheeks betray an "oh no she's hot" blush. A screenshot of the famous "Are you my master?" cutscene from the Fate/Stay Night visual novel. Arturia Pendragon (on the right) is standing upright at about a 3/4 camera angle relative to the viewer, clenching both fists at her sides MegaMan-style, while glowering down at Shirou Emiya (on the left). Shirou is sitting on the ground with legs awkwardly splayed in front of him, looking back up at Arturia with a nervous expression while directly facing her.

"Miss Perfect" out here living up to her title by hoarding all of Vodka's used race shoes because no one else is allowed to have them. No other reason, of course! Certainly not because they smell good, because they don't, she's checked all of them already to confirm.
A screenshot of Umamusume: Pretty Derby showing that Daiwa Scarlet has 9 trophies from the Vodka Legends race, which are shaped like Vodka's racing shoes. As Vodka has had only one Legends race in EN, and you can race up to three times a day for three days, this implies DaiSca went a perfect 9-0 in these races, once again reinforcing that VodSca is eternal.

Since Umamusume EN just started the Vodka Legend race, here's a friendly reminder of the only correct choice for running it
A screenshot of Umamusume: Pretty Derby showing the results screen of Vodka's Legend Race. A disappointed-looking Vodka (titled Extraordinary Empress) has come in 2nd place, losing to a smug Daiwa Scarlet (titled Miss Perfect) pointing at the camera. At the top of the screen, habitual purveyor of misinformation Tazuna Hayakawa gets it right this time by congratulating the player on the win; the extra congratulations to the player for correctly immortalizing VodSca is unspoken but assumed.

Gonna tell my kids this was the namesake of the main team in the Umamusume anime
A cropped screenshot of the MyAnimeList entry for the manga Tsumi to Batsu no Spica, translated as Spica of Sin and Punishment. The cover of Volume 1 shows a smiling girl with long pink hair, wearing what appears to be a sailor fuku with a pine green ribbon, white shirt, and short pine green pleated skirt. She is holding the hand of someone offscreen.

Happy 20th birthday to Aya Shameimaru, the best Touhou, who is probably actually 2000ish years old and still looks that damn good

May you continue, for millennia to come, to be the hugest piece of shit on Gensokyo's long list of huge pieces of shit

A crop of a page from the Touhou Project manga Foul Detective Satori where Aya Shameimaru pretends to be shocked to find out that she might be the culprit while taking selfies with silly hand poses. Text reads "Grand Scoop! The Vengeful Spirit's Next Victim Was The Beautiful Genius Reporter!?" A page from the Touhou Project Manga Lotus Eaters showing Aya Shameimaru, Mamizou Futatsuiwa, and Miyoi Okunoda chatting late at night in Geidontei. The dialogue is as follows: Aya, with a smug grin while playing with her pen: "The first eyewitness report was, in fact, about a nikushi. That was what I had in mind writing the article, so at that given moment, it had to be true." Miyoi, in small non-bubbled text and a shocked expression: "Huh...?" Aya, now also winking ikemen-style: "As for the nikushi's tail...well. That was just a bit of an act necessary to ensure the article's credibility." Mamizou: "An ACT? Why, you..." A crop of a page from the Touhou Project manga Forbidden Scrollery where a furious Reimu Hakurei is shouting "It's always like this. You always show up when I don't want you, but you're never around when I need you!" at Aya Shameimaru, who silently smiles a pure smile in response. A crop of a page from the Touhou Project manga Lotus Eaters where a particularly smug Aya Shameimaru saunters into Geidontei by swatting the curtains aside with "Tadah!" onomatopoeia.

Any VodSca fans that haven't read the Starting Gate manga owe it to themselves to see Baby VodSca's Very First Meeting
A page from the official Umamusume: Pretty Derby manga Starting Gate. Panel 1: A younger-than-usual-looking Vodka is walking through the halls, eventually finding her dorm room. Page 2: Vodka finds her room and says "I'm coming in..." Page 3: A figure that is lacking detail but clearly Daiwa Scarlet has only just begun setting up the left half of the room. She asks "Are you Vodka?" A page from the official Umamusume: Pretty Derby manga Starting Gate. A younger-than-usual-looking Daiwa Scarlet is dressed in a casual outfit (a different one from her usual casual clothes) and smiling excitedly. She says "I'm Daiwa Scarlet. We'll be roommates starting today!" A cropped page from the official Umamusume: Pretty Derby manga Starting Gate. Superimposed over the two visible panels on the right is a smiling and slightly-blushing Vodka, seemingly relieved at her new roommate's nice first impression. Panel 1: The two girls happily shake hands. Vodka says "Same to you!" A cloudy speech bubble above Daiwa Scarlet's head says "Yeah!" It is unclear if this is Vodka's inner thoughts or if Scarlet is saying it out loud and the artist forgot to add a pointy speaker indicator to the bubble. Panel 2: Scarlet turns around to resume setting up her half of the room and says "Phew, that's a relief!! If I had to live with a senpai, I'd just be nervous all the time." Behind her, Vodka's face looks a bit stunned, though this could be due to the lack of detail given how far into the background she is.
