Dorian glanced over at Nevada and sighed softly while lying down on his pool chair. "Dude, can you go be supercalifragilisticexpialidociously hot somewhere else? Don't get me wrong, I love the view and I like you so far, but I look like this and you look like that. It's kind of depressing, especially at a pool where we're all meant to be wearing next to nothing. I'm a lanky little fuck and you're over there looking like Hercules reincarnated. No one's gonna wanna fuck me if you're around." He didn't actually want Nevada to go away, not at all, but what he was saying about their looks comparatively was still one hundred percent true.

River had seen Nevada around the resort a few times and he thought the other man was incredibly good looking. Seeing good looking men around the Haus obviously wasn’t an uncommon occurrence, but that didn’t mean that River wasn’t still impressed by Nevada. Needless to say, River quite appreciated the eye candy that the other man provided him. His curiosity about the lifeguard had been piqued, as well as his lust, so he’d decided to request Nevada’s company for the night. When he requested the presence of staff members, oftentimes, he would invite them to his room. He liked the intimacy and privacy that the location provided. Even if he had no expectation of the evening becoming sexual, he felt it was the best way to get to know one another on a more personal level. Anxiously, he awaited Nevada’s arrival at his room. He had high hopes for how their time together would turn out.

[river-howell]

The way Nevada melted into his embrace was making River melt too. How sweet. Nevada was this big, burly lumberjack-shaped man, but he was also as soft as jello? Ridiculously adorable. River didn't quite know if he could take such a level of cuteness in one person. Granted, it didn't take much for River to find a man cute, but he digressed. And... there it went. His cock was at full attention now hearing those words come out of Nevada's mouth. "How are you allowed to exist?" He laughed softly. "I would commit war crimes for you. Not good."

There was one thing that Nev loved most was having a pair of strong arms wrapped around him. It was a blissful feeling, one that turned his lust drive on even more. He knew there would be a long night a head of them, one them would leave him sore and reeling with desire just to be fucked all over again. God, River was so hot and that accent of his only made his attraction for him stronger. He couldn’t help but moan when their lips finally connected with a kiss. Nev let his calloused hands grip River’s strong arms, fingers lightly trailing up as he felt the muscles beneath them. They didn’t stop them, feeling their way up along his shoulders before finding way into his dark locks and gently tugging at them. “Fuck… I wanted you to fuck me for so long.”

Hiking with my GSD's just off my property through some mountain trails. Always take a rifle with us because there's mountain lions, bobcats, and tons of coyotes everywhere in packs.

The Dunes sign was completed November 1964, with a lighting ceremony on Nov. 12th.

At 180-feet, it was the world’s tallest electrical sign, substantially exceeding previous neon landmarks in Las Vegas. It was designed by Lee Klay and built by Federal Sign & Signal Corp.

“Official opening (‘opening?’) of the Dunes high rise marquee takes place Nov. 12 when the sign is turned on. Local dignitaries, Dunes bosses, and exec of the Federal Sign & Signal Corp, builders of the beauty, will officiate.” - Forrest Duke. Review-Journal, 11/8/64

“The world’s largest free standing sign is under construction at the Dunes hotel … 180 ft tall, 80 ft wide … ‘Dunes’ letters are each 20 ft high … It will consume more power to keep itself lit than the entire Dunes Hotel uses today. The Federal Sign and Signal Corp. people have even constructed a monorail system just so two employees can service the sign on a full time basis.” - Murray Hertz. New Dunes Sign May Shake Blasé Vegans. Review-Journal, 10/1/64 p10.

How about some romantic stuff!! Some of y'all need your romance.

Hanging out HCs

Ft: Hank, Deimos, Sanford, Jedediah, Tricky, Sheriff, 2BDamned, Phobos, and Auditor.

Hank:

・I think y'all would probably just stay home.

・You both just had a very stressful mission, so why not relax back at the apartment.

・They'll probably watch TV with you with the few tv stations Nevada can have.

・Cuddling is something he can do with you too. Just on bed or on the couch and just cuddle.

・There will be a couple times where he just lays on the ground with you and wonder what the hell happened to this place.

・"(Name)... Thank you.."

Deimos:

・Going out and eating Burger Gil's!

・Deimos just wants to enjoy his favorite food place with you.

・This can also be an excuse to to eat at Gil's in general, but it's nice to do it with you.

・When y'all are done at eating at Gil's, maybe a quick trip to the bakery.

・He threw up the Burger Gil's on the way there so you had to carry him back home.

・"That burger was sure good, but you're just as good."

Sanford:

・Alright, endless stary night, blanket, and you two. That's how it's gonna go.

・Just you two hanging out on a hill and looking up on the stary night, relaxing.

・There will be a few times bandits will try and get you two, but that's why y'all brought guns to this evening.

・Other than getting interrupted by bandits and a couple of zeds, this hangout is wonderful for the both of you.

・You accidentally fell asleep during this, but Sanford didn't mind carrying you back.

・"Thank you for this time, sweetie.."

Jedediah:

・Going scavenger hunting.

・Jedediah surprisingly enjoys collecting stuff. It calms him down, and doing it with you makes him extra calm.

・You'll probably find a old coin or a rock with a cool texture and look to it and dash back to Jeb to show him.

・He also sometimes finds cool looking rocks and gives them to you. Like penguins.

・After going around and finding some cool stuff, you and Jeb head back home and organize all the stuff you both found.

・"These are beautiful, darling.. Just like you."

Tricky:

・Y'all go partying.

・I think y'all would also listen to your both favorite songs when partying. (His being all ICP songs and the chicken dance remix.)

・I think after the partying stuff is over with, y'all kinds just head back home and relax after the long night.

・If you get overwhelmed at the party, Tricky will notice and try to find a way to calm you down.

・Other than that y'all actually have a great time.

・"CL0WN L0V3S Y0U!!!1!1!"

Sheriff:

・I think y'all would hang out at a nice bar. (If possible that is..)

・I think he took you to the bar in the first place because it was the easiest place to go without him freaking the fuck out and being horrified.

・Also, because he's been busy lately and wanted to spend time with you.

・He might also get a little drunk from drinking too much.

・You also had to drag him back home.

・"Darlin'... When do you get so beautiful/handsome?"

2BDamned:

・Y'all also stay home.

・He just wants to relax with you and just hang out in bed. Nothing much really.

・He also is just a little stressed with everything, so relaxing with you seems like a perfect thing for the time being.

・I think y'all would also watch a quick movie for fun. Like a older movie from the later 90s and early 2000s.

・Other than that, relaxing with you makes his day better, no matter what.

・"This means a lot to me, (Name).. Thank you.."

Phobos:

・I think he would dance with in his office.

・The red lighten room and the slow jazz playing in the background, just you two slow dancing for the joy of it.

・Phobos made sure that no one would bother you both during this. I mean, quite literally.

・I think during this, you might doze off a bit from the slow atmosphere.

・Phobos does notice this and y'all get ready for bed.

・"Tonight was lovely.. We should do this again.."

Auditor:

・I think y'all just hang out and watch cat videos all night long.

・Most romantic thing I've ever heard.

・I think you both would also hold eachothers hand during too. Auditors love language is physical touch. (Somehow..)

・Another thing is that whenever you both see a cat that reminded of you both, you would point it out.

・This also made you both question about getting a cat.

・"Hm, a fur baby seems nice."

I'm absolutely shaking rn. Ate an entire tub of coffee icecream, also mixed with the excitement of watching the fnaf movie tomorrow!!!!

Mosey On with the Mojave Desert Tortoise

Also known as the California desert tortoise, or more simply the desert tortoise, Gopherus agassizii is one of the few tortoise species native to North America. As its name implies, it is found only in the Mojave and Sonoroan deserts, from northern Mexico into the southwestern United States; there it is the state reptile of California and Nevada. Their habitat consists mainly of of desert scrub, where temperatures can reach over 60 °C (140 °F); however, in the southern reaches of its range, the desert tortoise can also be found in tropical deciduous forests.

To beat the heat, G. agassizii digs burrows where they can rest when its too hot or too cold to forage, and where they can aestivate during the hottest months of the summer and hibernate in the winter. These burrows can be quite extensive, reaching 10 m (32 ft) long, and up to 25 tortoises may share the same burrow. Individuals will often dig out several burrows in their territory, which can range anywhere from 3 to 25 hectares (7 to 61 acres). Many of these burrows will also become homes for other animals, including rattlesnakes, gila monsters, squirrels, burrowing owls, and quail.

Like all tortoises, the Mojave desert tortoise is herbivorous. Most of its food is grass, but due to the limited choice in the desert they may also consume wildflowers, shrubs, and cacti-- both fruits and new growth. Due to their hard shells, this species has few predators as adults, but hatchlings are vulnerable to foxes, coyotes, birds of prey, and gila monsters.

Very little rain falls in the desert, and so the desert tortoise is well adapted to do without; the species stores up to 40% of its body weight in water in its bladder, to be absorbed later. Individuals will also dig shallow 'watering holes' in the ground, to be visited after rainfall. G. agassizii also gets much of its water content from its diet, and can go up to a year without drinking.

Desert tortoises typically mate in the spring, from March to May, though mating can continue until autumn. Males seek out and fight each other for access to females, typically by ramming each other or attempting to flip each other over. However, this species is also one of the few known to engage in homosexual activity, particularly between males. Because this is not a species that mates for life, or maintains strict social hierarchies, the purposes of this intercourse is unknown.

Females can store sperm for up to eighteen months, and typically lay their eggs in the following year from May to July in clutches of 3 to 8. These eggs are laid in a deep nest dug into the ground, and take 90 to 135 days to hatch. Young emerge in the fall, and receive no parental care. If they survive, individuals may take between 10 to 16 years to become fully mature, and can live to be 80 years old.

Desert tortoises are well adapted to blend into their environments. The shell is typically a brown or dull yellow, while the body is tan or dusty grey. There is little difference between males and females, save that males are slightly bigger and have a concave plastron (lower shell) to accommodate mounting onto a female. The species is medium sized, ranging between 11 to 23 kg (24.23 to 50.66 lb) in weight and 25 to 36 cm (10 to 14 in) in length.

Conservation status: The IUCN has ranked the Mojave desert tortoise as Critically Endangered. Their primary threats include habitat fragmentation and loss, predation by feral dogs, and road mortality. The population is estimated to have declined by 90% since the 1980s. However, conservation programs are being implemented to preserve critical habitat, and several zoos and conservancies have captive breeding programs for the species.

Oscar had came down to the bar to relax after a long and exhausting shift, but when Nev approached him and asked him if he worked on a chicken farm, he spun in his chair to face the man, giving him his full attention. Hearing the pick-up line, Oscar had to hold back the laugh that wanted to break out at how terrible that line was, he had heard a lot of them in his days and that was among the worst, but it was still entertaining, especially coming from a face such as Nevada’s. “I grew up on a farm, actually,” The nurse told him with a smirk, bringing his glass up to his lips and taking a sip. “Raising a cock is my specialty, love.” He shot him a wink.

It was a good night and Nevada was about to make someone suffer with one of his cheesy pick up lines. He nursed a drank in hand, scoping out the bar as he was carefully choosing his next victim. When seeing someone that could possibly get a good laugh out of his joke, he started walking their way. Sliding up to the bar, leaning against it for support as he looked the other up. “Do you work on a chicken farm?” Nev asked, giving them a second to let it register before continuing on. “Because damn–” he whistled, “You know how to raise a cock.” Nevada tried not to laugh at himself but was probably embarrassing himself more.

Hi coming in with another silly idea Imagine that the Player is in early Nevada, and around the time Nexus is supposed to fall they fall into a type of coma. Jeb goes through with his plan (painfully without the player by his side), Hofnarr turns into Tricky with his last thoughts begging for the Player to come back. Phobos' fight being much more easy due to the fact he thinks his god abandoned him. Then the Player comes back like "hey sorry about that" and Jeb starts wailing while Tricky goes YIPPEE and runs around them like an excited dog.

Why is everything you draw so cute omg 😭, everyone is so adorable here. It's honestly a little weird to see the Employers look so huggable, I love it.

To actually get into the scenario though, my thoughts on this are far too long to make it into a normal ask response, so you're getting some sort of unofficial hcs instead lol. Enjoy!

<The Player Falls into a Coma before the Fall> ft. Jebus, Hofnarr/Tricky, the Employers & Phobos

(TW: Yandere)

There was no warning for your sudden coma whatsoever. At most, you felt a tad more exhausted than usual at the end of the day, but this can be attributed to many different things, so of course you wouldn't worry about it. Neither would anyone else either, for that matter.

You had absolutely no idea that when you slowly fell asleep that night, you wouldn't be waking up again for a very long time.

It certainly wouldn’t take long for those you know to find out about your condition either. For one, Hofnarr and Jeb would want to recap their plan with you before going through with it, so naturally they stopped by for that. However, they find you unconscious and completely unresponsive to their every attempt to wake you. To make matters worse, there isn't a sign that you'd been awake at all in the past few days; the buildup of dust on your furniture and the letters in your mailbox shows as much.

Despite their worry, they’d eventually have to leave your side, if only to get more medical supplies and other things to help you. This opens up a window for the others in your life to finally take action, those being the Employers.

The shadowy figures had been keeping tabs on you all the time, so when you just didn't wake up, they would probably be the first to know - even if their actions came second to the Nexus Scientist's.

(You didn’t send the Deliberator a “good morning” text and he started panicking. What could possibly be so bad that you didn't speak to him? A cursory call to the worried AAHW agents the Auditor had sent to tail you was proof enough that you'd deviated from your usual schedule, and you weren't the type to ever be late.)

They were quick to take you from your home and to a more secret place, so that they could keep close observation over you.

Honestly, despite how much the Employers might brag about knowing you better than anyone else (a privilege they gained from being the first to realize your existence), they truly know little about your anatomy. However, they can tell that sleeping for full days isn't normal at all, judging by your previous behavior.

They're also far too stubborn to ask any other mortals for help as well, so they simply resigned to try to help you themselves while keeping you safe with them. They couldn't do much else, so hopefully you'd understand that once you awoke in a strange place.

Nevada rots without your guidance and the grunts you were close to were left reeling by this (unintentional) abandonment you committed.

Phobos loses much of his drive due to his own emotional frailty as he grappled with his uncharacteristic self-doubt and questioning. As it happens, this also makes him more zealous as well. In his last moments, he has a second wind, believing that if he just fights hard enough, you might decide to come back and help him in his battle against Christoff. (But you don't. You couldn't.)

Jebus' feelings are surprisingly parallel to the Director's in terms of worship and near zealotry. Except, he believes it might be his fault that you left, which only increases the fervor he has to complete his plans. It will be painful without you there, but this agony is his repentance for the sins which he has wronged you with. It is only through this that he believes you might show your presence once more, even if it’s not now.

Unfortunately, Hofnarr's transformation into Tricky was just as painful as it would be otherwise, and the pain of abandonment just makes it worse. Funny, how the pictures taken of you with him and Christoff were miraculously unscathed within Hofnarr's lab even after Tricky came to be. The zombified clown must have found some value in them, even if he couldn’t remember the complete reason why he felt so warm when he looked at them.

Of course, you did actually awaken eventually. You had no idea how much time had passed when you woke up, so seeing the Employers look so uncharacteristically worried when you woke up was really odd. You honestly think they’d be weepy if they had the ability to cry.

You really didn’t know how to react to the news that you’d essentially been in a coma for thirty years. Your first course of action is to find Jeb and Tricky to find out what actually happened since you feared your early appearance might’ve had an impact on the timeline regarding Nevada’s fall. This leads to very different reactions.

Jeb isn't one to typically show much vulnerability, but seeing you again completely shatters those walls he's kept up for so long. At first, he thinks you're just a hallucination; the culmination of all the longing he has for you finally taking its toll on his broken mind as almost a cruel joke. 

The first words he speaks to you after thirty years is a short, "You're not real", said as more of an insistence to himself than anything. But when he comes closer and you don’t disappear, and he reaches out a trembling hand to rest lightly on your shoulder, and you stay, he just breaks. The warmth of your form washes over him like it used to, and suddenly he feels an uncomfortable tightness well up in his throat as tears gather in his eyes.

You reach up to hold his taller form closer to you, sinking to the ground with him as he buries his face into your neck and sobs. His hold on you is soft, and his hands are still shaky; he's holding you like he's scared of shattering you, and he only gets weaker when you whisper soothing words and apologies to him.

Compared to Jebus, your meeting with Tricky was a lot more upbeat. It’s probably because he was spared much of the reflection and sorrow that Jeb went through due to his rather unstable mental state, but that didn’t stop him from somehow recognizing you. It’s almost like a switch flipped in his mind, and he went from violently slamming his sign into some poor grunt's face to freezing at the sight of your face.

He then tosses the sign away and almost launches himself at you to envelop you in a tight bear hug, screaming excitedly while you grin back rather tiredly. (You hope your eardrums will be okay after this.) But in the next second, he's whirling away from you, flailing his hands as he continues to talk.

It’s like being greeted by your dog after being away for months; he never stops moving or asking hurried questions about where you’ve been, intermittent with little words about how much he’s missed you.

Both Jeb and Tricky are very clingy after this. Even if they don't get along now, they're not willing to let you leave their sides after this, especially not when you go to sleep. (What if you fall into a coma again? Someone has to be there to take care of you.)

Deep down, they also have a striking suspicion that someone was behind your coma. They didn't know who exactly, but there was no other explanation to them than this. How else would you, Nevada's most powerful being, fall into such a state?

(In the near future, when you come across Hank and the others, let's just say that your scientists won't be deterred from leaving your side quite so easily. You'd been gone for thirty years, so you should only expect their companionship to remain more permanent for the coming years.)

How tall I think all of the states are

I don't think I've done this before if I have, I forgot. I'm bored and I have nothing better to do. (I'm gonna list them by tallest to shortest and with minimum commentary)

Note: as I am writing this note, I am midway writing this whole thing and realizing that basing it off of the size of state is not the right choice. I am now going with energies but I am not changing any of the commentary that I already made because fuck that

Alaska - 6'8"

I've seen people put Alaska as over 7 ft tall and I have a cousin, multiple cousins actually, who are in fact over 7 ft tall and I don't think you guys understand how tall that is. It is terrifying to be barely over 5 ft tall and have somebody towering to feet over you. My neighbor is 6'7" and that is about as much as I can handle without feeling like I'm about to get trampled by a fucking Sasquatch. Alaska is tall but he's not 7 ft tall and I will stand by that

Texas - 6'4"

California - 6'3"

I know that Texas is fairly larger than California but California is long. I see him as being tall and skinny but not taller than Texas tall like barely shorter than Texas tall.

Montana - 6'2"

New Mexico - 6'

Arizona - 5'11"

Nevada - 5'11"

Colorado - 5'11"

Wyoming - 5'11"

Oregon - 5'10"

Minnesota - 5'10"

Idaho - 5'10"

Missouri - 5'10"

New York - 5'9"

Most of these are, in fact, based on the size of the actual state however New York has 5'9" energy. I can't explain it but he does.

Nebraska - 5'9"

South Dakota - 5'9"

North Dakota - 5'9"

Oklahoma - 5'9"

Alabama - 5'9"

Mississippi - 5'9"

North Carolina - 5'9"

Tennessee - 5'9"

Utah - 5'8"

Utah is another one that is not based on size of state because he has too much smol boy energy

Kansas - 5'8"

Pennsylvania - 5'8"

Wisconsin - 5'8"

Georgia - 5'8"

Louisiana - 5'8"

Illinois - 5'7"

Kentucky - 5'7"

Virginia - 5'7"

Arkansas - 5'7"

Iowa - 5'7"

Ohio - 5'7"

South Carolina - 5'7"

Michigan - 5'6"

Michigan is actually the biggest one of all of the midwest states but I'm making him the shortest because he has too much blouse energy to be taller than 5'6".

Washington - 5'6"

West Virginia - 5'6"

Maine - 5'6"

Indiana - 5'5"

I take it back, Indiana is shorter because he has skirt energy and he has even smoler boy vibes than Michigan

Connecticut - 5'5"

Florida - 5'5"

Florida is 5'5" because Ben is 5'5" that is my only reasoning.

Maryland - 5'4"

Hawaii - 5'4"

Massachusetts - 5'3"

New Jersey - 5'3"

Vermont - 5'2"

New Hampshire - 5'2"

Delaware - 5'

Rhode Island - 4'11"

The Rinckel Mansion is an 1876 Victorian Italianate in Carson City, Nevada and is decorated nicely, except for the kitchen remodel. 4bds, 3ba. $2.4M.

This is the only photo of the entrance hall, which is a weird choice.

The sitting room is so fancy, isn't it? All of the original moldings and woodwork is intact and the professionally painted ceiling is amazing.

This is one of 2 dining rooms. At some point it was a bed & breakfast, and has since been maintained by the current owners. Isn't that a nice alcove in the front of the room?

This is another dining room. The two front rooms would typically be sitting rooms, and this would be the dining room.

The kitchen is industrial, unchanged from when it was a business. I don't like the cabinetry, except for the antique Hoosier cabinet.

This room, currently used as a home office, has a beautiful alcove with a starry wall and ceiling.

The 2nd fl. hall at the top of the stairs.

Love the alcoves in the rooms. This is lovely.

The bedrooms are spacious, but if it was a B&B, there are only 4 bds and not all of them have dedicated bathrooms.

And, this is bedroom #3.

Bedroom #4 is set up as a family room.

This shower room is kind of a disjointed reno.

And, bath #2 is down a side hall.

In the yard is a porch and a very large pergola.

9,583 sq. ft. lot with lots of parking on the sides.
