#down to the river to pray

[married-to-a-redhead]

O brothers let's go down

Let's go down, come on down

Come on brothers let's go down

Down in the river to pray

[culturevulturette]

And who shall wear the starry crown?  Good Lord, show me the way!

I hate that you go thru so much stuff before you get to that one person that changes life in every way for you; it ruins you. The best versions of you get taken away, and all the trauma and angst catches you at your worst times. Before you know it the one person that you have least deserves the treatment that they get. You run them off with your emotional and mental BS. You start off this amazing person. These relationships get thrown at you. Then you end up being the worst to someone who doesn’t even deserve it. Start changing your ways. Notice what you do. Don’t blind yourself with your own emotions. Because before you know it, you end up with the person you most wished for, and you end up losing them.

@propheresy​ || confrontations || accepting!

“ you can’t run away from this forever.  ” (beraiah saad)

There’s mud two inches deep on either side of his boots. Paul doesn’t mind. But the sound is a bit stomach churning as he walks to the very edge of the compound. He doesn’t get as close as he used to. Tensions keep rising between the town and what’s going on out here..where ‘they’ are? He’s been getting some hellish looks leaving town and making his deliveries out this way. Has even had his fair share of confrontations about supplying the crazies (and that’s the kindest of the names the Seeds are getting for themselves) anything they might need.��

Paul doesn’t tell them the worst of it. How, from the corners of his eyes, even though he keeps his head down and tries his HARDEST not to see much (unsure if it’s plausible deniability he’s going for or attempting to convince himself that he’s not toeing over a line he doesn’t want to admit is there when he’s telling himself, and others, that it isn’t)----there’s a sinking feeling in his gut when he glimpses what’s going on behind Beraiah. Or around him on his way up to the last gate.

Or how the mud’s often mixed with a color too red to be rust when the rain washes the dirt downhill..

Brows shove together, he lifts one foot. A sickening sludgy gulp, sucking pop noise later--it’s free.

‘ you can’t run away from this forever. ’ Ber’s voice drags Paul’s attention up from the tan and copper/crimson laced gunk coating worn black leather and makes eye contact. He’s speechless. Pale, sea green eyes search the others like he doesn’t understand. HE DOES. Makes his blood turn cold. A slick coats his mouth and tongue.

“There’s nothing to run away from. Right? Whatever it is that happens here.. It’s not for me to judge. If people are happy and safe? That’s what religion’s for... Or that’s what I’d like to think. Most of the time? I only see people fighting about it.” He forces a smile, knowing his answer was complete bullshit. A total avoidance of the true meaning behind what Ber’s insinuating. “Anyway.. I could use your help getting all this out of the truck? Big order this week.. Almost cleared me out. Not that I’m complaining..” Ignore how heavy and fast the vein on his throat pounds. Ignore it. Nothing to see.

(( yes yes I did this for Titus but @justashadetalkative did more and my brain buzzed so I stole and wanted to do Macrides as well ))

The Beast AND The Woodsman overthegardenwall my beloved: A Father doing horrible things for his Daughter, a Monster tricking him into doing so. Macrides is both parts! Those voices have me in a Chokehold.

The Beast (Beauty and The): A man? A monster? Why Not Both? I was obsessed with the Disney Movie as a kid but always disappointed with him becoming human (a Common Sentiment I believe?) so Macrides became my wish for a different type of Monster Man

Joel lastofus: ykno;;;; I just like a gruff father figure who isn’t your dad but Becomes your Dad. Plus he’s from Texas

My Grandpas!: All three of them to a degree! On my moms side is the Arkansas/Missouri Southern Baptist Preacher who loves Cowboys, probably secretly is autistic, and spends most of his career preaching for truckers at truck stops and doing funeral services. Then my dad has his bio dad, who is a liar and a charmer and a jerk who shouldn’t have had kids but is very successful with people. And my dads stepdad who was a bit of a loud and rough guy, but he was very kind and always was making jokes and breaking rules whenever he could (we went to a museum and a guide had to follow him around to stop him from just touching everything that had a “don’t touch” sign on it).

Lucifer: something something rebelling against father and being punished for it, banished to a new realm something something

John reddeadredemption: Come on! He’s a cowboy! He’s a dad! He’s on a mission to save his family from the government!! What’s not to love and draw inspiration from my vague memories of watching my cousins play this game?

listening to the whispering in my ear, soft but getting stronger, telling me the only purpose of my being here is to stay a bit longer
