Guys. My dudes. My fellow knights and squires. I have somehow made it through the arduous endless middle section of my fic???? And now I'm at the point where everything from here on out is like... vividly imagined & fun & just needs to be written???

Theo and I were sharing asks and I do NOT want to leave you out so I am pointing my microphone at you!! The people want to know: what are your thoughts on the ranchers' sleep schedules?

:D thank you for not leaving me out !! <3 this is so cute of an ask, what the heck? So, what I have for you is: To me, Tango has sleeping problems. He is wide awake during the hours in which the world is sleeping, and he long ago accepted that this would, likely, forever be the case. He sleeps when his brain lets him sleep, and sometimes that is long after his body has finally given out. Well. Something something, unstoppable force vs. immovable object. Jimmy is a sleeper. An early bird (hehe) who cares about his sleep and likes to get his rest time in. He's annoyingly punctual with it, too, like. He could be wide awake one minute, then his bedtime rolls up and he can barely keep his eyes open. Not necessarily by choice, just that natural sleep clock taking its toll. But. I have this idea. That like. Jimmy helps Tango get to sleep? It takes a long long time of cuddles and gentle voices and some quiet but more often than not, it puts him to sleep for hours. OH and a bonus headcanon of mine: Jimmy is a little touch-starved (my personal favorite headcanon HONESTLY-) so it's literally wins all around. All the cuddles they could want, plus some actual sleep for Tango. I also like to think that Jimmy also tries to help him relax enough to sleep, like with tips and tricks? Breathing exercises, decompression techniques, etc. They may not totally work most of the time but Tango appreciates the effort and definitely at least tries, if that makes sense? That's just a small side thing that I considered, too. Now, this isn't to say that Jimmy's method solves everything forever. There are still MANY nights that Tango gets up randomly throughout the night and will be up till sunrise, or doesn't come to bed till then, near-collapsing into the mattress. Some weeks, it seems as though their sleep schedules are completely opposite, where Jimmy's getting ready to go out for his day and Tango's just coming in. This just means that, some mornings, Jimmy will stay in bed a little longer, to rest longer as Tango is just getting tired enough to do so. He'll let the sun crawl further into the sky, let the chores and jobs wait. If it means he gets that time with his Tango, if it means he finds the gentle reassurance of helping him get to sleep, he doesn't mind. The world can wait up for him, can't it? I know this wasn't the MOST prose-y description of it, and it's not the most extensive, but yeah. :) these were my thoughts on that! i'd love to answer more, if you have any other ideas! i'm really trying to get back into this stuff, because i'm hoping it might help me write, so. yeah! thanks for the ask this was so fun dfksjfdkds <3

when I was a little kid at some point I got upset with my parents because I didn't have a crucifix in my bedroom and they did- I was like why do YOU get to be safe from vampires??? you're okay with me getting my blood sucked???? so we took a little trip to the catholic store but the one closest to us was run by a group of nuns that had been moved here from romania. I got a little baby pink cross and this sweet old nun was like 'aww, is this a baptism gift?' and I was like no. I need to be protected from vampires. and she immediately got SO serious and was like 'this is the best one we've got, you'll definitely be safe' and since she was literally from vampire land I was convinced she was like, van helsing. like the whole time my parents had been laughing about how cute my fear was but she literally Knew dracula and was taking my concerns seriously I held this over my parents for so long lmfao

When you’re in the middle of a fic and realise you’ve missed a very critical tag

[ivyblooms]

The funniest homophobia I ever experienced was a Mormon lady at my work telling me she would accept me being gay because we have to get along as coworkers but I really should consider not being gay because gay people have sex like animals (especially gay men) and she just couldn't stop thinking about it and how gross we are. She started really getting distressed, near tears, and saying 'I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop." over and over and miming some kind of sex acts with her hands and I was like ?????? What is happening???? One of the other Mormon ladies had to come over and pat her on the back and help her sit down to help her calm down and our boss gave her the afternoon off due to being too upset to work.

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

Thinking about him (the soldier in Poynter’s Faithful Until Death painting watching an apocalypse unfold around him with horror in his eyes as he tries to keep himself standing beneath a doorway, based on an actual 19th century archeological find of a man in full soldier’s garb under a doorway at Pompeii)
