#THIS HORSE IS NAMED JOLENE

31 Days of Productivity Reading もう一回！: Day 2

Before: Another day of letting a spinner wheel choose my reads. This is a lot more fun with manga where I can spin nearly once a day compared to novels where I could spin twice a week maybe. Two things about it though; first, to add to the chaos fun, I’ve decided that I’m going to keep series on the options list until I have no more volumes, and second, I think I’ll be changing my goal to read eleven volumes of manga instead of ten because I realized that after that volume of BASARA, I’ve read 190 volumes total in Japanese and I want to get to 200. I track my manga over on my MyAnimeList so if you'd like to see what I'm reading all the time, you can find my profile here.

Anyways, today’s read is オハナホ��ホロ！I’m really excited to read this one, I heard someone talking about it and asked them to tell me their thoughts after they finished it, but then turned around and bought it before they said anything else. It just sounds so exactly like something I’d love!

Last little non reading tangent- I finally got my laptop back today after an entire week of it being in the shop! The hard drive went out on it, but it works so well in every other way that I decided to just get a new SSD instead of an entirely new laptop. I'm also completely terrible with any kind of technology so I had a professional replace it, which was a good idea because the first SSD I bought ended up being completely unusable. Then, no stores around me carried the right size of SSD, so I had to order another one online. And the best part is that the swap over didn't even log me out of anything (and I can finally catch up with my shows)!

After: My time management was so bad today. By one am I was halfway through today’s read and figured that it would be no problem to finish it tonight. Then I decided to check what time dressage started. I expected it to start at two or three am but it started at one, so I ran to the tv to watch that with half a volume left. Luckily there’s always a lot of time between riders in dressage compared to show jumping or cross country but I definitely felt out of sorts as I like to be pretty much ready to go to sleep when it starts, and I very much wasn’t this time.

Between all the breaks, I did manage to finish volume one of オハナホロホロ！I’m really enjoying it so far, I love the unconventional family dynamic and how flawed all the characters are while still being endearing. I also really like the flowy art style and the way that there’s an air of everyday calmness to the story, even when things start to get chaotic. So in total, today I read 191 pages of manga. Certainly not as impressive as yesterday but I’m still pleased! This was more of a normal manga to me, both in page count and words per page.

y/nparton this one's personal. i came back to tennesse after spending a year doing my undergrad. by that point, i'd dropped out of university, found myself drinking to regulate my anxiety, and was ready to walk away from it all. without all the love from my parents, from my grandma and from my dear L, i don't think I would have made it out alive.

"i got so high that i saw jesus" is out now on all streaming platforms.

fun facts

about "Old Town Road", Lil Nas X said: "with a lot of my music before “Old Town Road,” I was just trying to make music I thought everybody wanted. I changed the meaning of it later on down the road from a runaways type of story to Old Town Road being a symbol for a path of success, where you’re just staying on it. The horse, me not having too much to work with, but getting to where you’re trying to go. It’s like, “I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road.” In the first verse, you’re getting everything packed up and ready to go. In the second verse, you’re in that lane now where everything’s going right. In the chorus, “Can’t nobody tell me nothin,” it was like a jab to my parents in a way. Wanting me to not really stop doing music, but to get back into school.”

According to Dolly Parton, "Jolene" was inspired by a red-headed bank clerk who flirted with her husband Carl Dean at his local bank branch around the time they were newly married.

Jolene’s name is based on that of a young fan who came on stage for her autograph: "I said, ‘You’re the prettiest little thing I’ve ever seen. What is your name?’ And she said, ‘Jolene.’…I said, ‘That’s the prettiest name I’ve ever heard. I’m going to write a song about you'"

listen i know that the only thing these songs have in common is they're both country but after matching up all the other songs these were the last two without a good match so i had to put them together. sorry

Idk if you’re taking requests but would love to read a melissa schemmenti/reader where reader is a horseback rider and takes melissa to the barn for the first time!! Melissa gets to meet reader’s horse, the barn owner and their riding trainer who are very protective of reader, as they met her as a kid and watched her grow up!

So full disclaimer: I know absolutely nothing about horses, most of this was written drunk, and it is highly unedited due to my absolute exhaustion with taking over this first grade class... but I hope you enjoy!

Horsing Around

wc: ~3.6k

You’ve been trying to get Melissa to accompany you to the barn for months now, but your schedules never quite lined up or you had different plans together. But now, on this beautiful Saturday, you’ve convinced the redhead to join you in an excursion to the horse farm. You can tell she’s nervous, and you’re doing everything you can to calm her worries. 

“Babe, c’mon,” you chuckle. “It really isn’t that scary. It’s just a horse.”

“All I’m sayin’ is,” your girlfriend sighs. “When I get bucked off and break a hip, you’re the one who gets to take care of me.”

“You won’t,” you promise her, taking one of her hands in your own. “The horse I plan to put you on is one I’ve been riding for forever. Dolly is a good girl.”

“You named your horse Dolly?”

“After Dolly Parton,” you reveal with a grin. “The other horse I named there is Jolene.”

“Good lord,” she rolls her eyes lovingly at your antics. “I really am dating a dork.”

“And you love it! Now let’s go!”

You usher your girlfriend to your car excitedly. It’s been a bit since you’ve been back to the barn, and you know the owner is thrilled that you’re coming around. You told her you would be there at two, and it’s already 1:30.

When you pull in, you’re practically out of the car before you can even turn the vehicle off. Judy, the owner of the barn, is already sitting on her porch in a rocker waiting for your arrival.

“Judy!” you sprint up the steps and launch yourself into the older woman’s arms. You’ve missed her. You used to spend all of your time here before you were thrown into the real world and had to get a job.

“There’s my favorite girl,” she sighs and wraps you in her arms. You feel a maternal kiss being pressed to your cheek. “It’s been so long.”

“I stopped by a couple months ago!” you protest.

“To drop off some carrots for the animals,” she laughs as she pulls away.  “You didn’t even stick around for dinner.”

You stand back up straight to glance over at the car where Melissa is finishing up her coffee. You smile and blush. “Well, Judy… I did have dinner with my girlfriend that night.”

“Same girl you been seein’?” You nod. “You been seein’ her for a while. When do I get to meet this mystery girlfriend of yours?” the older woman raises a brow.

“Right now,” you say excitedly. You call over to the redhead. “Mel? C’mon, hun! I have someone I want you to meet!”

“I’m comin’!” she calls back. “Give me a few seconds to finish my coffee!”

You and the woman that you’ve known since you were young catch up for a bit before Melissa makes her way over.

“Judy, this is Melissa Schemmenti, my girlfriend,” you grin as you take her hand in your own.

“So you’re the reason I ain’t seen my little girl in so long,” Judy stares her down. You know she’s just playing, but you hope it doesn’t trigger Melissa’s fight or fight instinct.

“That’s me,” the redhead says with a smirk written on her face. “Nice t’meet ya Judy. I heard lots about you.” She sticks her hand out for the farm owner to shake.

Judy glances to you and gives a subtle head nod before taking Melissa’s hand in her own and shaking firmly.

“Aye, that’s a good handshake you got there,” the farm owner notes.

“It’s a power move,” Melissa shrugs. “Gotta show the idiot fathers that walk into my classroom who’s boss.”

“So you’re a teacher? That how you and Y/N met?”

“Judy!” you blush. “I already told you how we met!”

“It is,” Melissa doesn’t miss a beat. “Y/N came into the school bright and chipper, and while I normally can’t stand that kind of attitude, I had some soft spot for her… next thing you know, we’re dating.”

The older woman chuckles her deep laugh. “Just makin’ sure Y/N wasn’t lying. I remember her teenage years, you know.”

You turn a deeper shade of red. “Judy!”

“That’s all I’m sayin,” Judy shrugs and she stands from her chair. “C’mon, now. I’m sure Dolly and Jolene will be thrilled to see their favorite rider.”

You lead Melissa around the farm, providing a running record of everything you pass. Your girlfriend hands on to your every word, occasionally asking a question that you’re quick to answer. You know this place like the back of your hand. Judy watches the two of you with a twinkle in her eye. She’s been in your life since you were six, the first time your mother brought you down. She’s watched you grow and change, seen you through multiple boyfriends and girlfriends, and she has to admit that seeing you with Melissa is the happiest you’ve ever seemed. 

Every once in a while, she throws in some smart comment or little anecdote about your childhood. And every time, it’s met with a whined out, “Judy!” Both women just laugh at your antics. 

When you finally get into the horse barn, there stands Annette, the horse trainer that you haven’t seen in ages.

“Well golly,” she smiles broadly at the sight of you. “Judes, I know you said Y/N was dropping by, but this surely can’t be her.”

You drop Melissa’s hand in an instant to launch yourself at the woman you haven’t seen since before you went off to college. “Annette!”

“Hey, baby cakes,” she chuckles as she engulfs you in a hug. “Look at you, all grown up.”

“I didn’t know you were going to be here!”

“Well, Judes told me you were swingin’ by, and I had a free day,” the woman laughs with a sparkle in her eye. “I knew I couldn’t miss ya again. How you been?”

“Oh, I’ve been great!” you can’t contain the smile on your face. You tell her about college and how you’ve graduated, how you found a job teaching- to which she tells you how proud she is of you-, and then you tell her you have a girlfriend. “Annette, this is my girlfriend Melissa. Melissa is a second grade teacher at the school I work with. Mel, this is Annette. She taught me how to ride when I was a kid.”

The horse trainer, unlike Judy, grabs Melissa and pulls her into a tight hug. “Nice to meet ya, hun.”

“Yeah,” your girlfriend pats her back awkwardly. “Nice to meet you too.”

“I was hoping Mel and I could ride Dolly and Jolene?” you ask hopefully, rocking back and forth on your feet.

“I’m sure they would be more than happy to get out and run around for a bit,” the trainer smiles. She turns to Melissa. “You ever seen your girl ride?” 

“Not yet,” your girlfriend says.

“She’s one hell of a rider,” Annette grins. “You’re in for a treat. Have you ever ridden?”

“Today will be the first,” the redhead says nervously, playing with one of her rings. 

“You’re in good hands with the two of us,” you promise your girlfriend. “And like I told you, Dolly is a sweet girl.”

“She’s one of the best we have,” Judy tells her. “I’ve watched Annette put the young ones on her, and she’s just perfect with them. A great starter horse.”

“C’mon babe!” you take Melissa’s hand in your own again and start dragging her into the barn.

The two older women hang back as you enter.

“So,” Judy and Annette drawl out at the same time. They chuckle.

“She seems happy with this one,” Judy notes softly.

“She does,” Annette agrees. “This one better not break our girl’s heart.”

“I don’t think she will,” the farm owner tells her friend. “Any time the girl comes around, she’s always talking about Melissa. I watched as Y/N was showing her around, and she was looking at her like our girl hung the damned stars. And if she does, well… woman’s got another thing coming for her.”

“You got that one right,” Annette chuckles as she nudges her boss with an elbow. “C’mon. I gotta get in there to make sure Melissa isn’t having a heart attack over the size of Dolly.”

When the two of them enter the barn, you’re with your girlfriend in Dolly’s stall, and Melissa looks terrified. You, on the other hand, are grinning as you pet your horse and feed her a few apples.

“Oi,” Annette quips. “Don’t overfeed her.”

“I’m just giving her a few treats!” you protest as you continue to stroke the animal. “My good girl,” you coo. “Mel, c’mon.”

“I think you got that one, hun,” she stands in the corner of the stall, glancing at the animal with fear. 

“Babe, I promise, she’s a sweetie!” you wave her over. “You just have to stand to the side of her so she can see you and get used to you.”

Your girlfriend looks at you nervously, but listens. You give her a gentle head nod and a look of comfort and love. Annette and Judy don’t miss that look. You turn your attention to the redhead and help her get more comfortable around the horse, and before you know it, she’s feeding her a carrot and praising her sweetly. It melts your heart. 

“Do you want to try brushing her? She loves being groomed,” you suggest. At her nod, you show her how to do it. “If I leave you with Judy and Annette for a few minutes so I can go tend to Jolene, will you be okay?”

Melissa nods at you nervously, and you give her a quick peck on the lips. You shoot the two that you’ve known for decades a look, as if to say ‘behave yourselves’, before heading to a different part of the barn.

The redhead continues to groom the horse in front of her, but she can quickly feel two pairs of eyes trained on her.

“Can I help the two of you?” your girlfriend asks lowly. She’s trying to stay on her best behavior for you- she knows how much you care for the two, and she oddly wants their approval.

Neither woman says anything, so Melissa keeps her eyes trained on the horse until the silence is broken. 

“What are your plans with our girl?” Annette asks lowly.

Melissa raises a brow as she slowly stops grooming Dolly. “What do you mean?”

“What are your intentions and all that shit?” she asks. 

“She’s my girlfriend, and I want to make her happy?” your girlfriend glances over.

“You know,” Judy cuts in quietly. “The two of us have quite a soft spot for Y/N. You hurt her, and we will find you.”

“I ain’t got no plans to hurt my girl,” Melissa states confidently. You start to round the corner to re-enter Dolly’s stall, but you’re quite interested to see what the redhead has to say. “I’m not some loser her age who is going to take advantage of her. I love that girl, and one of these days… I’m gonna marry her.”

“What makes you so confident?” the farm owner asks, and you know she’s much tougher to gain approval than Annette is. 

“The fact that we’ve talked about getting married and starting our lives together,” Melissa tells them. “The fact that I got a ring hidden in my classroom that I know she’ll love.”

“Is it-”

“It’s white gold,” the teacher cuts Judy off. “I know what my girl likes, and I fully intend on making her the happiest woman alive. I can’t wait to be able to call her Mrs. Schemmenti.”

“How do you know she isn’t going to keep her last name?”

“Because we’ve talked about how she can’t wait to get rid of her last name,” Melissa chuckles.

“She has always hated it,” Annette chimes in with a hearty chuckle. “It ain’t even that bad a last name.”

“She’s my girl,” your girlfriend says simply. “I’ll do everything I can to always keep that gorgeous smile of hers on her face. Even if most of it scares the living shit outta me.”

“Like?”

“Like… I’m terrified of horses,” Melissa tells them honestly. “But I’m here.”

“You are,” Annette smiles. “And Dolly seems to love you already.”

“I know she wants marriage, and I’ve already done the marriage and divorce,” she confides in them quietly. “I know she wants kids, and I’ve always been terrified of having kids. But I know they’ll turn out okay as long as Y/N is around. She’s a… that woman is something. She makes every day worth living, and she makes every day the brightest day I’ve ever had. She’s my girl- my everything.”

Melissa’s eyes sparkle with love, and her tone conveys just how much she cares about you and is willing to go the extra mile for you. You have to choke down a quiet sob at her words.

“Ain’t that sweet,” Annette coos.

“Sweet, and heartfelt,” Judy gives a nod of approval before turning serious again. “But I swear to God, you mess up… we’ll find you.”

“Trust me, I ain’t got no plans to fuck it up with this one,” Melissa tells them. “She’s it for me.”

Your second and third mother give simultaneous hums of approval, and you see it as your time to enter without them knowing you were listening.

“Baby!” you bounce over and kiss her cheek. “I got Jolene all ready to ride if you wanted to give it a go?”

Your girlfriend looks extremely nervous, but she nods. “If that’s what you want to do.”

Judy and Annette give each other nods of approval at knowing just how scared Melissa was to get on the horse, but she was going to do it for you.

“I promise, Dolly will be just fine for you,” you assure her. “And whenever you’ve had enough, I’ll take them both out to do some jumping and stuff with them.”

“I’ll grab Jo for you,” Annette volunteers herself. “Judes, you wanna come?”

The two exit a few seconds later, giving you optimal time with the redhead. 

“Let me just grab her saddle, you a helmet, and we should be set?” you suggest.

She smiles as her eyes linger on you. “Sounds like a plan, amore.”

You kiss her gently. “I know this is new and scary for you, but thank you for doing it for me.”

“Anything for my girl,” she mumbles against your lips. “Anything at all.”

“Let me get Dolly ready for you to ride, and then we can take her out, and I’ll show you everything you’ll need to know,” you tell her. 

It’s only a few minutes later that you reconvene with Judy and Annette, Dolly the horse following behind you as you lead her into the pen. 

“You ready, hun?” you ask Melissa gently. At her nod, you lead her over to the two that work on the farm. You help Melissa up onto the horse, and then you expertly mount Jolene. You teach her how to get the horse to walk, and when she seems comfortable with that, you ask her if she wants to try to get the horse to trot. She seems nervous, but with you by her side and Annette helping to handle the horse, she gives a nod.

Trotting is not much her speed, so Annette helps to slow the horse back down, and you grin at her.

“I’m proud of you for trying,” you tell your girlfriend sweetly. “Whenever you feel you’ve had enough, I can help you off of Jo, and then I’ll take them both out for just a bit to keep up with their training.”

After about ten more minutes of walking the horses, Melissa has felt that she’s had enough. You help her dismount. Her, Annette, and Judy exit the pen, and you’re left to do what you love.

You have to admit that you’re showing off a bit, and you know Melissa is eating it up. Her eyes don’t leave you the entire time that you ride both horses. You send her a wink whenever you pass her on either of the horses. 

Judy and Annette watch Melissa watch you. They can’t believe how much love can be conveyed in just one simple look.

Finally, you’re finished, and you take off your helmet with a smile and a toss of your hair.  You lead both horses over to where your group is standing, and you hand Dolly’s lead to Melissa.

“Walk with me to take them back to their stalls?” you ask as you extend your hand out. She takes it gently, and the two of you head back for the barn hand in hand. Annette and Judy follow behind, looking at the two of you fondly.

“Stay back on second,” the horse trainer says softly, and Judy stops in her tracks. Annette pulls out her phone and takes a few pictures of you and your girlfriend as you chat and lead the horses back to their stalls. After examining the pictures for a few seconds, she grins. “They are a cute couple.”

“I suppose,” Judy bites her lip. “But I’m serious. If Melissa hurts our girl-”

“I know, I know,” Annette rolls her eyes lightheartedly. “You’ll have your foot so far up her ass, she won’t be able to walk for weeks. But have a little faith in this one. That woman looks at Y/N like my Frankie used to look at me, and we were the happiest couple.”

“I thought I recognized that look,” Judy sighs softly. 

“So, give her a chance?”

“I am, I am,” the farm owner waves off. They follow the two of you into the barn.

After the horses are away, you take Melissa’s hand in your own and start to head out of the barn.

“Oi,” Judy calls to the two of you. “Are you at least gonna stay for dinner or what?”

Melissa squeezes your hand, silently saying that it’s entirely up to you. You nod with a smile. “If you’ll have us.”

“Good. I have enough food to feed a small village, and I need help cleaning out for the next season of planting,” the farm owner chuckles.

Dinner is nice. You get to hear about what Judy and Annette have been up to, they ask what you’ve been spending your time doing, and they get to know your girlfriend just a bit more. Melissa’s usually stoic and stony persona is set aside, and you know how much this is taking in her to answer every question they ask her with as little snark as possible. You’ll tell her how much you appreciate it later tonight… or rather, show her. 

Before you know it, you’re bidding goodbyes to your mentors. They each give Melissa a hug, which shocks you- Judy has never given your former partners a hug before. She usually just glares them down with a firm handshake. In that moment, you know your current girlfriend has Judy’s stamp of approval. 

You pull your keys out of your jacket pocket, and Melissa smiles gently at you- that soft, warm smile that made you fall for her in the first place.

“I can drive home if you want,” she offers quietly.

“You just want control of the music,” you tease her. 

“You can have control,” she chuckles. “I just thought I’d offer.”

“I won’t pass up on not having to drive home,” you giggle softly as you hand your keys over. “Thank you, love.”

She presses a delicate kiss to your temple as the two of you walk to the car. She holds the door open for you, as she always does, before closing it for you and climbing in. 

“You can play your music if you want,” you tell her.

“Play what you want, my love,” she smiles as she turns on your headlights. She starts to back out with a small wave and smile to Annette and Judy. By the time you’re pulling out of the farm, Sara Bareilles is playing softly through the stereo, and a warm hand has settled on your knee. 

“Thank you for showing me what you love,” she leans over and kisses your cheek, eyes never leaving the road. 

“Thank you for coming with me,” you say just as softly. “What did you think?”

“I’m not as terrified of horses as I used to be,” she tells you with a quiet laugh.

“Judy and Annette didn’t scare you off?” you tease before turning a bit serious. “They’ve scared off quite a few who they didn’t deem worthy of my time… Judy has never actually hugged any one of my past boyfriends or girlfriends.”

“I think I showed them how much I care for you, amore,” she states confidently. “And if Judy hasn’t ever given your past people hugs… I think I’m doing pretty damned good.”

“I love you,” you sigh softly as you lay a hand over hers and lay your head on her shoulder.

“I love you too,” she tells you gently. “But you already know that.”

—

“So… we met Melissa,” Judy and Annette tell your mother over the phone.

“Oh? And what did you think?” your mom asks.

Both women that work on the farm glance at each other.

“She’ll do just fine,” Judy gives your mother a thumbs up.

“I agree,” your mom tells them. “Are we placing bets on when Melissa is going to propose?” 

The two women on the phone at the farm know your mother’s tricks though. 

“She already told you she got a ring, didn’t she?” Annette asks.

“Dammit.”

[evenmyhivemindisempty]

Greetings, Ms. Darth! For the Boyd asks, how about how they do at karaoke, and what songs they can be coaxed/bullied/bribed into performing? Bonus for any Blackguard boys you might want to include!

Steve Murphy: He doesn’t like karaoke. He won’t do karaoke. No, doesn’t matter how hard Javi fucking pesters. He said NO. (Cue SpongeBob voice: ~five drinks later~) Well, FINE, he’ll do a fuckin’ duet! You know? Something tells me drunk Steve’s song of choice is either gonna be “I Will Survive” or a kind of mournful “American Pie”. He’s… not a good singer. Javi’s not quite as bad, but he also thinks he’s better than he actually is. The two of them can clear out a bar.

Donald Pierce: He’ll do it in the private karaoke rooms, and only if he’s drunk. He’s a better singer when he’s drunk too – if he’s sober, he self-consciously tries to deepen his voice into a baritone, but when he’s drunk it comes out as a lovely, natural tenor. Either goes for “Horse with No Name” or “House of the Rising Sun” (the Animals version).

Cap Hatfield: Modern Cap actually really enjoys (private) karaoke! He’s got a nice singing voice, and he loves duets. He can do a good “Rocketman” and “Folsom Prison Blues”, although (unlike Holbrook) he doesn’t try to imitate Cash’s low notes and keeps it sweeter and higher.

Clement Mansell: He’s actually kind of shy about karaoke! But he absolutely owns a karaoke machine, and he’ll belt it out alone. His voice isn’t good (as we know!) but like Pierce, I do think it’s because he’s trying to force a baritone (to sound like a man *should*), but he’d have a pretty, crooning tenor if he let himself. He really likes Roy Orbison (confirmed by the showrunner!), so his go-to songs are “Only the Lonely” and “Oh, Pretty Woman”.

The Corinthian: He adores karaoke! I don’t think he does it often, or goes out of his way to do it, but he doesn’t need much prodding at all. He’s… very mid at it. His favorite song to sing is “Losing My Religion”.

Eli Klaber: There’s a couple songs he can do really well (“Jolene” and “Y.M.C.A” are a couple he’s got down) but that’s about it. He… kind of likes karaoke. He prefers doing it in private rooms, but he’s totally fine doing it in front of a bar too.

Danny Maguire: He’ll do it, but he’ll put on this big show of acting like he doesn’t give a shit, and sort of intentionally plays up how crappy he is at it. It’s kind of an unconscious defensive mechanism, because he is genuinely a little insecure about his voice. I think he usually lets other people pick his songs for him. If he was singing by himself, he might go with “Killing Me Softly With His Song” or “Behind Blue Eyes” (drama queen).

Ty Shaw: Oh yeah. He loves karaoke even more than the Corinthian does. He’s… okay! He’s got a terrific stage presence and he’s good at getting everyone to sing along too. He does a pretty decent “Bad Moon Rising”.

Quinn McKenna: He doesn’t love it, and he knows he’s not the best singer, but if he’s out with someone he likes enough and they’re buying the drinks, he’ll grudgingly sing (private room only). He’s done “Umbrella” and actually kind of enjoyed it.

Blog #1 My Current Relationship and Sense of Place with Nature

I’ve always felt drawn to and connected with nature. It is where I am most calm and anxiety-free, specifically when surrounded by greenery and the sound of water. The noise and crowds of city life have never been appealing to me. I’ve lived in the countryside all my life, surrounded by open fields, farm animals, trees, plants and much more. I am constantly on the go, so I look forward to the little things in life and find peace in the quiet. Therefore, When I walk out the front door to start my day and I feel the warmth of the sun or hear and smell raindrops I feel like I can finally take a deep breath, and time stops for a split second before starting my day. 

My relationship with nature has been shaped by many factors in my life. This includes childhood experiences, animals, life events and travelling. Growing up my parents provided me with many rich experiences that I am very grateful for. These experiences included travelling to beautiful islands like Barbados, Antigua and Cuba, where we went hiking, horseback riding, scuba diving and taking boat tours around the islands. Not only did I have the opportunity to connect with the environment, but I also made connections with amazing people who showed me their culture, beliefs, food, and traditions making it an unforgettable experience. Another Major influence on my connection to nature is horses. I started horseback riding when I was eight years old, I immediately fell in love and knew I wanted to continue this sport. Over the years, I learned how to properly handle and respect these grounding animals. When I turned 12 years old, my parents gifted me my horse, her name was Jolene. From then on we were a team, we've done everything from jumping, barreling racing and competing to enjoying long trail rides. We have been on many different trail rides and always get excited to explore new places we have yet to see. Therefore my appreciation for nature has only deepened throughout my life, and I am lucky enough to see many different landscapes. I hope to continue to experience more of the diversity of nature. 

When I see the words a “sense of place” I think about an emotional attachment someone has towards a specific location or environment. This attachment can be connected by memories, unique characteristics and cultural significance. Therefore, this emotional connection can bring comfort, peace, belonging and summons strong emotions that form their relationship with this environment. Without a doubt, my sense of place is the ocean. I felt an immediate attachment when I first ever saw it as a kid. I love to swim, listen to the waves crashing down, smell the salt from the water, collect sea shells, and feel the sand between my toes. Recently my friend moved to Florida and I got the opportunity to visit her. I spent most of the days there sitting on the beach reading books; In these moments I felt the most at peace, my worries disappeared and I finally felt stillness. The ocean has become a place where I constantly think about being and hope eventually I can live somewhere where I can see it every day.

by  the  time  she  was  in  middle  school  ,  jo  was  basically  taking  care  of  herself  .  she  began  to  trail  around  with  the  neighbors'  kids  ,  who  babysat  her  most  of  the  time  ,  and  following  them  around  .  they  would  sneak  out  at  night  to  go  to  the  races  and  jo  would  tag  along  ,  a  scrawny  little  kid  in  big  tees  and  even  bigger  jeans  .  she  would  watch  ,  silently  and  in  awe  ,  as  the  racers  displayed  their  cars  for  everyone  to  see  and  described  their  set  ups  .  she  memorized  as  many  words  as  she  could  ,  going  to  her  local  library  after  school  to  check  out  books  on  cars  .

Character Sheet (Prone to updating at random)

"We're in for a good time."

Name:

Rickie Devron - Real name Jolene Kitsrick Blossom (of the Lordareon sovereignty, the Blossom’s are a noble Household of little weight in authority)

Alias(s):

The Coyote The Wanderlust Traveler

B/D:

Estimated -10 BDP, claims to be in her early thirties.

Accompaniment:

2 dogs -- One a deep red and brown coated Badlands Strider (rhodesian ridge-back) and A tricolored, short furred Gwenmayre Toller (english foxhound) A towering mare is among the crew, a breed of Marston Steed with a sturdy build of palomino pattern with eyes of a kind blue, her figure sturdy and durable (welsh cob).

Current criminal record consists of:

Disorderly conduct, drunken indecency, public brawling and bribery attempts with authority.

An adventurer who's lust for adventure supersedes her desire for settling; Oft found in mischievous situations.

The Coyote is, by every meaning of the word, a wanderer. A resourceful pack rider of who's pack consists of one human, two dogs and a horse to tow the brunt of the camp's weight. She is a woman known to travel from town to town in a nomadic fashion, a sturdy maiden of great wanderlust always writing a single name in every check-in book and piece of paperwork:

'Rickie Devron'.

Though she tends to leave her foot prints as just that, always dealing in coin or favors in the form of work to get her and her horseback crew to and fro across Azeroth proper. She has visited many villages and towns, cities on the rare occasion of necessity and rarely ever pleasure. "Too much traffic", she'd argue.

She is in the whispers of locals, commonly referred to as the Coyote for her habit of springing out of the territory as quickly as she can once she's fulfilled her needs in one place -- Usually cowpunching for agricultural towns or performing acts of service as a hunter for both bounties and monsters.

She oft wears a perky grin, always eager to mingle and swap a good story or joke. All subtle foreshadowing to a spunky shit head with a magnetic outlook to life.

Her weapons of choice, visibly and otherwise, are typically well hidden shivs -- boots and inside her jackets. A dwarven army knife, sheathed and attached to her belt. Her opposite hip carries a holstered six-chamber pistol of dark, smooth material and a dark gunmetal blue. Knuckle punchers are oft shoved into the deep pockets of her trousers. A hunting rifle, aswell-- strap hanging loosely around her broad shoulders with tailored slots for additional bullets. But she always keeps one in the chamber.

She displays languid and graceful movements for such a substantially built woman. It seems a contradiction, but she carries herself well, agile with counterbalanced strength. The nature of her womanly figure showing curves to contrast her muscles. An angular and smooth nose sits square in her face, grey eyes with dark thick lashes to frame. Deep black hair is usually tied down with a headscarf to keep the sun from cooking her head. Radiant sun kissed skin stretches the length of her average height, managing to keep its warm tones even in the winter season. Such dark days when even hiking the tallest mountain couldn't get her any closer to the sun...

There remains one bards tale out there to document the Coyote's life... A tale of a woman who just liked leaving.

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy Masterlist

When I first wrote Save a Horse, I didn't expect to make a part 2 let alone a whole universe expanding on Sam and Danny, as well as Jake and Josh with their respective OC partners, but here we are. The boys and my OC's are my babies, I hope you love them as much as I do. I hope to continue expanding their stories, thank you for reading :)

Sam and Danny

Save a Horse- (Danny x Sam)- ♡ 𖤓 ⟡ ☾

Danny convinces Sam to go to a new line dancing bar in town. A gay bar. On a steal night. When they’re both secretly head over heels in love with each other. What could go wrong?

Ride a Cowboy (Save a Horse pt. 2)- (Danny x Sam, background Josh x Austin, background Jake x Sebastian)- ♡ 𖤓 ⟡ ☾

Danny and Sam tell Jake and Josh they’re dating. Their reactions? That they need to see the line dancing bar where they finally confessed to each other. Lucky for them, there’s a partners night coming up where the newbies dance with local drag queens. What neither expected was to leave the bar with a man on each of their arms.

Paper Rings (D.R.W/S.F.K) ♡

When Danny wants to propose to Sam, he turns to his brothers for help, wanting the evening to be perfect.

Josh and Austin

Salty Dogs, Anyone? (J.M.K/O.C)- ♡ ☁︎

Continuation/offshoot of Ride a Cowboy; what happens between Josh and Austin that night.

All Of Me (J.M.K/O.C)- ♡ 𖤓 ⟡ ☾

As their relationship develops, Austin knows that he needs to tell Josh a key aspect of his identity; but every time he tries, his nerves take over, afraid of losing him. He’s finally “forced” into the perfect opportunity as Josh gets handsy after their date, pushing aside his fears to tell him.

Two (J.M.K/O.C)- ☾ 𖤓 ☁︎ ♡

Josh knows something has to be wrong when Austin’s late for movie night.

Apple Pancakes and Cider Syrup (J.M.K/O.C)- ♡ ☁︎

When Austin rises hours before Josh does, he decides to make his boyfriends’ favorite breakfast.

Check out @leolep20’s fanart of them here

So This Is Christmas (J.M.K/O.C)= ☾ 𖤓 ♡

When Austin is invited to join the Kiszka brothers and their respective partners up at the Kiszka-Wagner cabin for Christmas, he knew that he couldn’t get out of seeing his own family at least once that holiday season. And unfortunately, after over a year of keeping Josh as far away from his family as he could, he can’t get out of bringing him along to the Dawson’s early Christmas dinner.

Godlight (J.M.K/O.C)- ♡ ⟡

When Josh takes their couple’s costume “too far”, it takes everything in Austin to not ditch their plans last minute to spend some alone time with his fiancé.

Jake and Sebastian

(Check out @leolep20’s art of them here!)

Mon Beau (J.T.K/O.C)- ♡ ☾ ☁︎

Continuation/offshoot of Ride a Cowboy; what happens between Sebastian and Jake that night.

Je Te Laisserai Des Mots (J.T.K/O.C)- ☾ 𖤓 ☁︎ ♡

Jake has a nightmare and turns to Sebastian for comfort.

Please (J.T.K/O.C)- ♡ ⟡

Jake only has to use his words for Sebastian to give him what he wants when he keeps begging for it.

All of them (not really focused on one pair specifically)

Even Broken Bells Will Ring- ☾ 𖤓 ☁︎

Josh has something important to tell Jake.

A Dangerous Duo

[ahorsebyanyothername]

Hi I'm Beau, and the horses I care for are listed below. I work at a few barns, primarily I'm the barn manager at a sanctuary for thoroughbreds. Pacific Northwest, Queer :)

Hugh (RIP 01/25/24) - thoroughbred, late 20s, died of kidney failure. A truly massive guy, he was a champion jumper before retiring to the sanctuary. Heart of gold and soulful eyes, he wandered freely between pastures and was generally the favorite.

Fred - thoroughbred, somewhere between 31 and 36, blind. He was a pony horse at the track and then later a hunter/jumper, and briefly a lesson horse, before he came to the sanctuary. One of his students still stops by to see him from time to time.

Atlas - thoroughbred, an old racer. He was passed around from home to home after his career on the track, and wasn't always treated well.

Jethro - thoroughbred, my favorite horse, a total jerk but he likes me. The most beautiful bay I've ever seen.

Patrick - thoroughbred, piss baby little bitch,on good days he's a total sweetheart though. His feet hurt because his soles are thin so he's always irritable. Biter.

Dalva- thoroughbred, second most beautiful bay I've ever seen. She's got a lot of spirit! She was passed around a few homes and not always treated well before she came to the sanctuary.

Marsha- thoroughbred. Perfect, amazing, and very opinionated old mare. Loves to be brushed. Mom to Chris, Horatio, and Hugh.

Chris - thoroughbred, idiot 1. You know how people say "two heads are better than one"?

Horatio - thoroughbred, idiot 2. When we put these two together, they get stupider.

Evie - thoroughbred, wonderful sweet stubborn old lady to those she's well loved by. "Evil Evie" to others.

Xander - thoroughbred, lovely gentle old gelding. Total pushover, follows Evie around like a puppy.

Angel - thoroughbred, first career racing, second career hunter/jumper. Her conformation was not well suited for jumping and she had to be retired. She's appropriately named in my opinion.

Bond - thoroughbred

Sara - thoroughbred, dapple grey, elderly. She was in a kill pen with 24 hours left til she would be shipped off to a slaughterhouse in Canada, when the sanctuary bought her. She had worms, but was otherwise in decent health. She ended up at the feedlot through no fault of her own, but because her owner had passed away.

Sylvester - thoroughbred

Amelia - thoroughbred, rehabilitated by Sound Equine Options after being seized by law enforcement from a home where she was neglected and had never been handled. She bonded immediately with Laney, who died in 2021. She is currently in pasture with Sampson.

Sampson - thoroughbred

-

Rain - morgan

Lilly - morgan

Treasure - morgan

Grover - morgan

Tribute - morgan

Harley - morgan

Pepper - morgan

-

Maeve - mustang

Jax, Lucy, Moonpie, Valor, Inca, Vinnie, Lily, King, Ruby, Fury, CC, Buddy, Ferrero, Touch, Bennie, Three Socks, Tango, Casper, Buddy, Sunny, Athena, Nugget

Dewey - thoroughbred, was in a kill pen when he was rescued. Found a good home with Paige who loves him very much.

Rococo - paso fino

Jolene - mustang

Who am I forgetting... at least 2 of em
