ask game yay

Happy Wincest Wednesday! (or Sunday in this case) I have a few questions for people to answer. Feel free to answer them all or just one (or none at all) even if you’re not tagged!

what song describes samdean the most?

man. i used to have a painstakingly crafted playlist with like narrative and all but it's been rendered obsolete in the couple years since by the change in both my taste and my perception of them. if i had to choose one right now, i'd go with you and i in unison by la dispute, because la dispute are 1) good poetry 2) good at longing and devotion 3) this particular song is about grief but not loss of love so it feels like a post-finale song (i encourage you to listen or read the full lyrics)

I will sing sweetly, hope that the notes change but

I do not need it to happen. I’m not resigned to it. And

If they never do I’ll sing your name in every line

Just like I did throughout this, just like I’ve always done

In every gun, the empty church, and every tortured son

In all those giving up, in all those giving in

Until I die I will sing our names in unison

my other go-to artists for them would be mount eerie and, ig, townes

if spn was set in europe, what country would the Winchesters be from? What language/languages would they speak (+ what car would they drive if not the impala, kinda)

haha okay i don't have any strong headcanons but i can tell you about a specific russian au we had going with friends and even meant to ttrpg the setting a little but it never worked out

dean was driving an old volga gaz-21 third series (which might have connotations that do not need exploring at this juncture but i'm actually very bad at both cars and soviet history lol) which would be pretty damn cool if lovingly maintained all the way from 60s to 2005 and of course dean would call it "lastochka" (a common endearment for beloved cars) only i have no idea how possible it would be for hypothetical john to get one in the first place

and he wouldn't really have grown up on bootlegs of western music so much as the likes of Kino and maybe even Grazhdanskaya Oborona which was weird af but also massively beloved across different classes subcultures and backgrounds so

talking monsters of the week, i'd love to see their ass kicked by a rusalka (mermaid but creepier) or even a domovoy for comedy (those are generally helpful but mischievous) and get into all kinds of trouble with an array of superstitions while helping the babushkas who give the superstitions power by relying so strongly on them, especially in little villages...

is there a project you’re working on currently? Do you have a line or sketch from it to share?

maybe? i hope to rework one of my longer wips into a short but finished (god please) fic but don't hold your breath

what’s the first fanfic for supernatural you’ve written? Did you publish it? Or if you don't write: what's the first fanfic you remember reading?

yeah, i've published it. was for first-time fest, where you picked an episode and did a first-time. coincidentally, i was going through my drafts and found a 2+ years old reblog of it i never posted, so since i didn't even reblog it for timezones then, have a link now (if you read it and like it feel free to reblog this blast from the past haha)

is there another codependent/enmeshed duo from a different fandom you enjoy? Are there parallels to Sam and Dean?

jesus. dunno, i don't think so? they have quite a unique combo of wholesome/dark/devoted

what type of wincest dynamic do you currently enjoy most? (sexual, platonic, dark, fluffy, early seasons, etc.)

the same one i've always enjoyed most — late seasons kind of bittersweet but securely established relationship vibe (in spirit of self-promotion, do check out my ao3 for more of the same haha!)

tagging whoever wants to be tagged etc etc. @prince-of-elsinore tysm for tagging me—it was fun!

inori<3

everyones favorite seaweed surgeon!!

cw: (teen) homelessness

My identity hc for them

i honestly dont have much thoughts on her identity? i hc her as ace but thats abt it,, nothing confirmed or canon for her!!!! this section is so short im sorry my girl

Thoughts on their home life/family

girlie doesnt have one of those. uhhhhm.. i think she's very. lives day to day + doesn't think she'll ever have a life outside of work? so i dont think she's really thought about settling down and what she might want for the future. she doesnt know where she wants to live if she wants kids etc etc. she gets v upset if people try and ask her abt it, she doesn't enjoy talking about that.

How i feel about their canonical writing/handling

iiii like it! she's def a character who'll be improved by rewritten posts. but i think liiiike.... while she's maybe not full of all these twists and turns and who saw this coming! she's very... her writing is solid nonetheless? she's just a fifteen year old.

The one thing i’d want to make canon about them

kinda building off whats above. despite the fact she's so incredibly independent like... yall she's Just Young... shes literally a traumatized teenager and she acts like it! this is canon and it shows that this is how things are so this is maybe a cop out but. yeah. for a small little detail that wont really be relevant on canon. she's probably got like.. all those games u see mobile ads for (fishdom gardenscapes) etc like. maxed out she's played all the levels etc. she doesnt have any other hobbies

My number one favorite ship for them

yall sold me on kuronori....

…Now everyone else i ship with them

maki + tomori!!! the kuronorimakitomo polycule is REAL. also i like her with iranami!!!! and im gonna deviate from what i usually say a bit to say that i actually think she could be cute with taira.

The thing i will NEVER ship

shrugs. inori stay winning ig!! she's very shippable!

a dynamic/relationship i wish was explored more (in canon, or in fandom)

i still miss my edgy kids,, but, i dunno! inori + a parent figure ?... i think she should get to bully higa

thoughts on their design (appearance-wise)

hmmmmm... one of the less like. "cute" designs, but i like it! for how like... comfort over style it is (usually i aim for comfort + style, but style isnt even remotely part of her fit) im actually very fond of it. we arent gonna chat about inoris hair tho i kinda wanna change it hmmm

A music-related thought- a song that reminds me of them, or what their music taste is, etc

ya know. she has a playlist but going through it i dont think i want?? to say yes any of these songs are #her... i think inori listens to anything and everything, oddly enough! she'll listen to hyperpop she'll listen to country she'll listen to rock it doesnt matter to her. she likes noise which she can control <3

Headcanons for dating Sydney Novak

Sydney Novak x reader

warnings: like, sex mentions ig

a/n: i love YOU anon MWAHHH

prompt: anonymous: “Could u do headcanons for dating sydney from i am not okay with this? 🥺🥺💞🌷🌷 love u!”

she’s so awkward but sweet at the same time

her mom really likes having you over

like, this woman asks sydney every night if you’re coming over

“ugh, my mom texted me again, she wants to know if youre staying for dinner”

“yeah, i could”

“yesss!” *cheek kiss*

hanging out in her room and going through some of her old stuff (which she doesn’t mind)

you lift up random “artifacts” and she tells a story about them

sometimes it’s fictional, sometimes it’s real

sometimes you actually CANNOT tell

you goof off in front of her just so you can hear her cute little giggle

“oh, my god, take off those glasses!”

her brother will drag you away from her so he can have his “y/n time”

the first time you met him he had a speech prepared

“i am willing to defend my sister’s honor always, so don’t give me a reason to. there will be no funny business of any sort, and now that you’re apart of the family, i have the right to hug you at any time”

sydney and you have sleepovers at your house

usually you listen to music and rate each other’s taste

“what the fuck is this, syd?”

“bloodwitch! stan showed me them”

“god, he’s such a bad influence”

cuddling is he default

and a FUCKING LOT of kisses

but she despises pda so as soon as you guys are alone all of her pent up urges attack

school bathrooms are her favorite place to go now

she will make out with you in the girl’s bathroom that is a fact

oh yeah, she told you about the powers

“you sure you’re not having panic attacks?”

“maybe that’s what makes the power happen”

and then u saw it happen and you have found ways to calm her down

they do not always work

sometimes you have to dodge projectiles

“y/n, shit, i am so so sorry”

“no, babe, you’re okay, i know how it works, i’m here for you”

she cries when you show her kindness

late night adventuresssss

“we have so much homework to do, i dont see how laying on the train tracks is helping any of that”

“lighten up, y/n. we get to look at the stars!”

“you cant even see the stars. it’s cloudy”

“well, i get to look at you”

add train tracks to the list of makeout locations

diner dates

even though they are awkward as hell with her mom there

“how was school today, girls?”

sydney feels a lot calmer and safer with you around

she talks to you about her dad sometimes, you always find a way to keep herself together about it

syd also told you about her experience with stan

“no fucking way!”

“yes, way! it was so awkward i wanted to cry”

“you showed each other your zits? that’s your turn on??”

when your parents aren’t home, you two are free to do whatever you want

that usually involves getting naked

you have a playlist titled “songs to get syd naked to”

“i told you to change that”

“but it’s my greatest creation”

this girl leaves hickeys everywhere

she has never said “i love you” in anything louder than a whisper

you’re still not sure why

finally, bowling alley dates

you give stanley looks that make him uncomfortable

“does y/n not like me?”

“what?”

“it just seems like y/n hates me...”

#sydney novak imagine #sydney novak x reader #sydney novak #ianowt imagine #ianowt x reader #ianowt #i am not okay with this x reader #i am not okay with this imagine #i am not okay with this

3, 7 and 18 for as many as you can answer; btw do you still have an ocs page? like with introductions and all that

wow this took forever oops!

tysm for the ask!! i’ve been meaning to make a carrd or something with oc intros, but i have so goddamn many ocs and so little time now that i’m in college and all that. and i have the code saved from my old pages before i remade, but those are kind of outdated and incomplete

that being said i’m probably gonna end up making that carrd regardless of how busy i am cause special interest indulgence and all that, so i’ll post about it when i do

anyway! i’m putting the actual oc answers under a readmore because i’m gonna try to do all the ocs i listed and it’ll be kinda long lol

3. What does your oc’s voice sound like? (Or, if you have one, what’s their voiceclaim?) Can they sing, whistle, or roll their rs? Do they have any speech impediments or notable dialects/accents?

how does one even describe voices... ok here goes

avani: she’s my character for a ttrpg campaign, so her voice sounds basically like mine (which might not help much cause you don’t know how i talk lol), but when i’m talking as her i pitch my voice up a bit and make it a bit more nasally. she’s not much of a singer, nor can she whistle, but she can roll her r’s pretty well. also, since she’s autistic and hard of hearing, her tone of voice often comes off the "wrong” way

farhan: he’s another ttrpg character i play lol, or at least he will be next semester, so his voice is again kind of like mine. but when i talk as him i pitch my voice down and it’s a bit hoarse. ig his voice would also be more “masculine” than mine but whatever. he can sing and whistle but has a pretty small vocal range (since he’s, like, 13 right now and will be 16 when i rp him next semester)

carter: i imagine his voice as low and on the quiet and raspy end, with a tiny bit of a lisp. he’s way too insecure to try to sing or even whistle or anything like that, though if he practiced at it he’d probably get pretty good

calira: she’s mute so n/a i guess. but she talks pretty formally in her dialect of elvish sign language, which is definitely unusual

sam: they have kind of a low voice that’s also raspy, but with quite a bit of pep and variation in their tone. they can even sing pretty well and they like to whistle constantly while working. that creates some kind of whiplash cause sam comes off as a typical edgy teen a lot of the time

jizoriel: high-pitched with lots of voice cracks, peak pretentious preteen/early teen jerkass. he can’t really sing or do anything similar, nor does he want to very much

victoria: so quiet and raspy that you can barely make out that it’s low and has a soothing and pleasant tone to it. she can sing well, or at least she could once upon a time

rowan: just! the happiest and most cheerful voice you can imagine! so much love behind how she talks! her voice fills up her whole head and the whole room!! and she whistles sometimes while she walks

ace: defies any masculine or feminine labels, smooth and cool in theory but they stutter quite a bit

charity: gruff but with a hint of cheer and clarity behind it that comes out when she’s startled. she loves to sing but can’t whistle and can’t roll her r’s either

jamal: i actually have a voiceclaim for him! it’s this (the voice that sings from 1:51 to 1:58)

kimberly: her voice is a bit high and a bit... idk how to say it exactly... i guess shrill would be the word?

fabián: his voice seems higher-pitched than it actually is cause he talks higher when he’s anxious, and he’s always anxious. it’s a bit hard to describe his voice otherwise tbh. i can hear it in my head but i can’t quite put it to paper oops. oh yeah also he has a great singing voice but never uses it sooo

7. What song reminds you of this oc? Does this match up with the type of music your oc likes to listen to?

this question opens up a wormhole cause i have playlists for many of these guys but instead i’ll just provide one (1) song for each and vaguely describe their music taste, how does that sound

avani: honestly “mr. capgras encounters a secondhand vanity” by will wood is a “her” song to me. her music taste leans a lot more toward older music though (like some classics from the 70s and 80s and such)

farhan: he’s still very new so i haven’t really found a song for him yet. but i know he absolutely loves peppy and energetic pop music and also sappy gay love songs

carter: (slaps my hand away when i try to type another will wood song) “fantasy island” by the shins always launches me into daydreams about him. which kinda roughly aligns with his music taste, he listens to a lot of those “mainstream indie” artists. he’d also listen to will wood because he’s gay and mentally ill <3

calira: one of my favorite songs on her playlist is “maximillian von spee” by dirt poor robins. but the music she listens to is basically all invigorating church-loving stuff with medieval-era instruments lmao

sam: “sometimes” by nick lutsko is an absolute bop and very much a sam song. sam actually doesn’t go out of their way to listen to music though, but when they do they listen to either the most soothing and relaxing stuff or to the angriest metal emo music. no in between

jizoriel: i’ll go the less emo angle here and say a song that reminds me of him is “upside down” by jack johnson. jizoriel’s music taste is like. old choir music and shit plus incomprehensible magical music that doesn’t even sound like music. if he was from earth he’d like my chemical romance

victoria and rowan: i’m grouping these two together here because a song that reminds me very strongly of both of them/their relationship is “human” by dodie. which actually fits very well into both of their music tastes!

ace: again, going the less edgy angle here, “auntie earth” by walter mitty and his makeshift orchestra. but ace mostly listens to uh, classical flute music and flute covers

charity: absolutely “dance and cry” by mother mother, that’s pretty much her theme song. it’s among her favorite songs in canon too

jamal: “tire swing” by los elk, since his arc is about letting go of childhood and all that jazz. he’s more inclined to listen to fun. and other pop artists and rappers and such. he likes janelle monae

kimberly: “best tears” by the happy fits for sure. in terms of her music taste though, her taste is pretty similar to jamal’s. they bond over being janelle monae fans

fabián: by god does “heal” by so much light fit him. his taste is that he rotates through three (3) specific obscure indie artists lmao, so theoretically i guess that specific song is included in there

18. How does your oc see themself? How does this compare to the way other ocs see them?

i am gonna do my best to keep these short cause this is a loaded question for all of them hoo boy

avani: how she sees herself: honestly the worst person alive. unless she spends every moment of her time trying to make up for what she’s done, she’s worthless, and she doesn’t deserve to love herself in any capacity how others see her: her brother (farhan) really looks up to her! most of the time. the superhero team she’s on (other people’s ocs) all think she’s generally smart and capable enough, and her boyfriend in particular thinks she’s incredible

farhan: how he sees himself: as of right now? a misunderstood emo middle schooler who’s still kind of cool i guess how others see him: his sister (avani) thinks he’s quite an impressive and charismatic young man

carter: how he sees himself: 1/10 awkward and annoying how others see him: carter reminds calira too much of her old self, so she love-hates him. sam thinks he’s weak and cowardly but admires his kindness. and jizoriel clings to him as a caring father figure and loves carter’s passion for natural studies

calira: how she sees herself: it goes back and forth between “i’m the greatest chosen one ever im such a strong warrior” and “wow i’m literal trash why did the gods pick me for this” how others see her: carter is a bit intimidated by her but appreciates her attempts to vibe with him, sam thinks she’s an annoying pretentious self-important bitch (but their opinion softens over time), and jizoriel sees right through her facade and feels comfortable around her because of it

sam: how they see themself: evil and in need of redemption, kind of similar to avani ig but with 10x more confidence in their skills and also much more violent how others see them: carter knows theyre doing their best even if theyre kind of an asshole, calira is a fan of their strength and determination, and jizoriel Hates Their Guts (at first) because they baby him too much

jizoriel: how he sees himself: a fucking fraud of a prince. all he has going for him is his abilities as a mage, but even then those are shaky how others see him: carter knows he’s very insecure and wants to comfort him, calira admires his magical prowess and noble air, and sam thinks he’s a snarky little pretentious douchebag but also he reminds them of their late brother and they want to protect him at all costs

victoria: how she sees herself: basically dead. only good for interacting with ghosts. not worthy of the human world or of friendship how others see her: she reminds rowan of her old self. rowan sees a glimmer of love and hope in her and wants to bring it out

rowan: how she sees herself: a fucking mess but she’s trying her best and that’s what counts! how others see her: victoria very much appreciates her cheerful air even if she doesn’t act like it

ace: how they see themself: way too weird to be human, way too weak not to be. their self-image changes constantly. theyre very confused about everything please help how others see them: charity is literally dating them lol she thinks theyre the cutest person alive, jamal appreciates how hard they try as a friend, kimberly thinks theyre an alien invader whom she can study and use to get further in life, and fabián knows more about ace than anyone else and loves them for it

charity: how she sees herself: a Teenager who’s struggling. she desperately wants to be young without the burden of her trauma but whether she thinks of herself as emo and sad and angry or not depends a lot on her mood how others see her: ace adores everything about her, jamal loves how cool and fun and sociable she can be, kimberly is annoyed with her rebelliousness, and fabián worries very much for her well-being and can’t shake the image of her as helpless (oops that’s gonna cause some drama)

jamal: how he sees himself: just a chill guy trying to get by. unremarkable. how others see him: ace is grateful for how forgiving he can be but is still terrified of him being angry over [spoilers], charity loves how sociable and fun he is and how protective he can be of his friends, kimberly secretly envies his carefree nature, and fabián sees him as a solid acquaintance to whom he did not give a good first impression

kimberly: how she sees herself: not good! if she can’t grow up fast and do science well then she’s useless how others see her: ace wants to be friends with her but doesn’t know how to do that, charity is annoyed by her rule-bound-ness, jamal thinks she’s cool but should unwind a little, and fabián resents her at first but would still like to play chess with her sometime

fabián: how he sees himself: he has a moral responsibility to help people Or Else. way too anxious and stuck up but he doesn’t know how to change that how others see him: ace fuckin Loves this guy, charity loves him too but she gets pissed when he tries to help her with anything, jamal genuinely thinks he’s a great guy and wants to get to know him better, and kimberly is actually impressed by him and envies his apparent confidence and charisma

ok ok that’s it i promise. sorry this is so long and tysm for reading if you made it this far!! feel free to ask more oc questions literally whenever, that goes for anyone reading this <3

#pey talks #ocs tag #this was so fun to write thank you for asking ;-;#ace #avani #calira #carter #charity #fabián #farhan #jamal #jizoriel #kimberly #sam

okay. today was not bad. not sure if we reached good, but overall now bad, which for now I will take. My body decided to wake me up at 7:50 am for no discernible reason, then decided I wasn’t gonna be able to fall back asleep so I was up for the day. well, might as well make the best of it and be productive. I wanted to make m&m pancakes because I haven’t made them in a while, and I’ve been getting lazy about measuring out the right proportions because I tend to like the batter to be thinner than what the measurements they tell you to use produce (thinner pancakes are less likely to burn on the outside while the middle still isn’t cooked and that gives me anxiety) so I just kinda eyeballed it, but it ended up being a bit too thin and the pancakes would just die when I tried to flip them, so I added some more mix and they were then working just fine. Made my pancakes, sat at the table with my computer and got a jump on the lecture for trusts. it was like 2 hours and 50 minutes, not too bad. It was alright, I did already do the New York trusts lecture so I did have some concept of what was going on, so it wasn’t like totally brand new information to me. I’d wanted to marathon two lectures today so then I don’t have to do one Monday when I’m running around doing a million other things to prep for the bar on Tuesday, so now that I was up early I was gonna try to marathon the two lectures, the second being about the same length as the first. this one was on “commercial paper” which is literally not a term I’ve even heard mentioned once in my three years of law school, so I really had no idea what was coming. The lecturer started off the video by basically saying there is legit little to no chance this is going to come up on the bar but we still made the lecture to be thorough at which point I was like okay PEACE and left because I’m not wasting precious studying time on shit that’s not gonna be on the bar (one paragraph I was reading said fed tax, which is a subject they still teach, hasn’t shown up on the bar in decades. DECADES.) so that was one less thing to do. there’s only one more lecture to cover that I’ll do tomorrow, and it’s secured transactions, which I just took in my last semester and somehow managed to swindle an A- out of it, so I’ll definitely have an advantage with that as opposed to these other subjects I never touched in high school. So, what to do now. I started with some practice questions trying to go slow and analytically, following their step by step problem solving theory, and the first batch came back with really bad grades and I was super frustrated and wanted to bang my head against the wall, but I calmed down and tried another, and the grade went up significantly, so I did a few more with mostly good grades, so that was encouraging. I did some outline review after that, then started going through the essays by subject and outlining them, which is probably something I should continue doing tomorrow, because I’m not great with the specialty subjects essays being that I just learned most of them. Interspersed with all of this was of course news coming out of comic con, I turned the push notifications off on my phone because there was just way too much coming out to distract me, but I would occasionally check it and yeah, there was just a lot. Of course there’s the fact that Jess met the entire cast, which I legit am not even a little bit surprised at because I fully expected that to happen at this point, because that’s just her life. But yeah, that’s all kinds of awesome of course (goddamn bar exam keeping me from going....) and then I took a break to make dinner. I’m still on the trying to convince myself I like eating chicken train, and I had bought some ingredients for a recipe I later decided I didn’t want to make, but I could add a few things and use them to make one meal I know is really good, chicken roll ups, which is basically shredded chicken mixed with cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese and then stuffed into crescent roll dough and cooked and it’s fucking heavenly. Well. I managed to fuck things up in quite a few ways that made them really not very good. First off, I was using leftover rotisserie chicken, which of course just had a different texture and taste, and was also a lot drier, and I didn’t measure how much it was and I think the ratio was too much so it through off the mixture. I also ended up not having enough cheese because the block of cheddar I had in the fridge had grown a really gross mold spot on it so I had to ditch that. And then, idk if this made any difference, but I didn’t have crescent dough but I had biscuit dough, so I figured if I just rolled it out it would work fine, and idk if that contributed to it not tasting right at all but it was at least one change. so I ended up basically eating the dough off of a few of those before tossing them because they were just not good. so that’s one more check in the “failed” column in this venture. Oh well. I did also watch videos and such out of SDCC as I could, I saw Caity’s IG live where she had the camera on the sizzle reel airing live, so that was a very cool way to get to see the footage for the first time. Everything that came out was so good, I’m so happy we’re getting soft AvaLance and so so much more. I’m so pumped for this season. But alas, I went back to my essays and was getting kind of frustrated when I had a bit of a moment. I had my pump up playlist on, which included a song called Meant To Be by Steven Curtis Chapman (if you’re unaware of who that is, he’s a Christian singer) which I had debated about whether I should add and then had debated again this afternoon if I should keep it as I was deleting some of them, but I did, and I’m just sitting there frustrated when I begin to focus on the lyrics, and in that moment they really spoke to my soul-

You were meant to be touching The lives that you touch And meant to be here Making this world so much more Than it would be without you in it

And in that minute, I was reminded of all of the reasons I am going on this crazy adventure, why I’m putting myself through all this stress and hard work. It’s because I care. It’s because I want to make a difference. I want to be the kind of person that has a radical effect on the areas of the world they worked in. I was meant to be here. I know I was. I may get frustrated sometimes and talk about how much I miss acting (which, to be fair, I really do) but at the end of the day, that decision wasn’t about me picking law because I didn’t think I could make it in acting, it was about me picking law because I wanted to be a lawyer more than anything else in this world. I had all of this in my mind and I walked over to the wall in my room where I have a picture of the little boy from the child death case I worked on. Manny. He will forever be an innocent four year old. He was denied the opportunity to grow up. And that is why I’m doing what I’m doing. I couldn’t save him, I wasn’t there. But I know there will be so, so many Manny’s in the future that I could be able to help if I worked hard and diligently and refused to back down when things get hard. That’s why I’m doing this. For all the little boys and girls who are facing potential deadly violence and neglect, innocent lives that can be saved, that can be spared meeting a grizzly death before they even get to kindergarten. Because I am so tired of hearing these stories. I. Am. So. Tired. So I’m going to do something about it. Alright, I think that’s enough of a rant for more, there will always be plenty more where that came from. I tried to do some more essays but my vision kept blurring on me which again idk if it’s a vision problem I’ve somehow developed or just a sign I’m overstudying, but it made it fairly impossible to work, so I gave up (I mean, it was also pushing like, 10 pm at this point, so it was probably a good cut off point). So I moved to the living room and watched Queer Eye, trying to unwind, which was helpful. And then I eventually decided I should go to bed, mostly because i’d like to not sleep the entire day tomorrow so I can actually get stuff done. And I am already very tired, my eyelids are actively trying to close on me right now, so I’m gonna finish here. Goodnight mah people. You da best.

Family Road Trip - Amarillo, Durango, & Telluride

Hello there! Remember me?! I'm the girl who used to blog semi-regularly. Now we're lucky if I even remember my password to get on this thing! Ha! All that to be said, I've taken a break from both of my blogs to truly enjoy the summer with my family. I wanted this summer to be all about family and that it has. #noragrets

We just got home from a two week vacation in Colorado. I received several messages regarding our trip....where did we stay? what did we do? where did we eat? SO...I thought it would be easiest just to update our travels here and dust the old cobwebs off this site. Today's post will highlight some of our favorites in Amarillo, TX, and Durango & Telluride, CO. Tomorrow will be all about my most favorite place in the world...Breckenridge!!!

We started out early on a Sunday morning and headed west for the first leg of our trip. We originally planned on spending two weeks in Breckenridge, but at the last minute we changed up our plans and decided we wanted to see a few things we've never seen before. We drove a total of 14 hours the first day and ended up in a little hotel right outside of Albequerque, New Mexico. We received lots of dinner recommendations for our short stay, but because we arrived so late, we grabbed some Subway and called it a night.

I love road trips, so the 14 hours we spent driving seemed to fly by. Truly. Between pit stops and random pullovers to check out sights we'd never seen before...plus an EXCELLENT playlist (if I do say so myself ;)...14 hours flew by in a flash. And even though I'm sure I'll receive some sort of "you don't deserve to raise your children" type messages for this, our McDonald's stop was pretty on point. We only get it a couple of times a year and you better believe I went all out. All the large fries, pink slime (aka: nuggets...amazing)...and Coke I could handle. #feelfreetojudge

Before getting to Albequerque, we stopped off the highway in Amarillo to check out Cadillac Ranch. We really didn't know much about what to expect other than what we heard from friends so we didn't come prepared. I should've read up on it, but I didn't. Just seemed like a cool thing we'd see and then leave. Anyway, Cadillac Ranch is a large piece of land with about 10 Cadillacs buried in the ground nose down. One of those crazy Texas landmarks, lol. It's definitely a cool sight to see & part of the allure is getting to spray paint the cars. The kids were in awe. We should've come prepared with spray paint bottles...which we didn't...but there was a family there with extras who saw us aimlessly wandering about and gifted the boys their half-used cans. Super nice. And just enough to give the boys a taste for tagging :)

This was the perfect pit stop to get out, stretch our legs, and see something we've never seen before. The boys REALLY enjoyed this stop so we didn't rush through it. We stayed for about 30-45 minutes, but probably could've stayed a lot less. I think we were all a little happy to be out of the car.

If you've never seen it before and it's a stop along your way, you definitely want to pull over and check it out for yourself. It's right off of HWY 40 so you don't have to travel far off of your route to get there. We'll probably stop again next summer when we head that way again. Just make sure to bring your own cans of spray paint before you go!

Day 2 found us on our last leg of our first destination. It was about a 5.5 hour drive from Albequerque to Durango, CO and we arrived just in time for lunch. Before getting to Durango, we had to pull over for a photo op. The boys wanted to say they walked to Colorado, LOL!!!

Luckily another family pulled in right behind us and we were able to get a family pic together. Cheesy, but had to be done. Onward and upward to Durango we went.

A friend of mine who is from that area suggested we eat at Steamworks Brewery for lunch. GREAT recommendation! We sat on the patio, enjoyed the cool breeze, and the food was 12 kinds of delicious. We both enjoyed the special...beef brisket tacos...and they were amazing. I also had a side of chicken tortilla soup and it was sensational. Let me just warn you right here that much of this vacation consisted of me stuffing my face full of #allthefood. Not sad about it at all.

After lunch, we walked around the historic downtown area and took in the sights. We walked into a few little shops, grabbed some cinnamon rolls for the boys, and then headed to Telluride. We had a ton of people telling us to make sure we rode the train from Durango to Silverton, check out the cave dwellings in Mesa Verde National Park, and go rafting. We would've done ALL of those things, but we didn't plan for it so we were strapped for time. We wanted to get to Telluride before dark. No part of driving through the mountains in the dark is fun for either of us and with Telluride being our ultimate destination, we decided to cut our time in Durango really short to give us plenty of time to make it to Telluride before sunset. Next year Durango will be a one or two night pit stop, God willing! We'd LOVE to check out some of those recommendations. The downtown area was so charming!

Telluride was only a couple of hours drive from Durango and we couldn't wait to arrive. The drive was gorgeous...and really scary. We're not used to ascending into the highest heights of the mountains on a regular basis. Couple that with insane rain, hail, and a 40 degree drop in temperatures through some of the highest points and you can bet that we were white knuckle driving and on edge for the last hour or so of our drive. YIKES. I envy the locals who can drive through the mountains in those conditions without so much as blinking an eye.

Once we made it through the scary parts of our journey, we found ourselves in Telluride and y'all...I was taken aback. I mean, completely speechless. The views in Telluride are truly BREATHTAKING. Everywhere we turned we were surrounded by mountains & peaks. In every single direction. And not in the distance. I felt like the mountains were hugging the town. Heaven on Earth.

Since we added this stop to our trip at the last minute our choices of places to stay were a little limited. Or so we thought. Neither of us knew a thing about the town, so knowing where to stay (Mountain Village?? or in town???) threw us for a loop. We read and read and read about it, but still came out unsure of what to do. We eventually decided it would be best to stay in town because from what we read we thought Mountain Village would be dead in the summer. We ended up finding a pretty inexpensive lodge to call home for a couple of nights that was in walking distance of Colorado Ave. & close to the trailhead of the hike up Bear Creek Falls Trail we planned on taking.

We stayed at Manitou Lodge in a loft style room. Y'all...it was the cutest thing. The entire unit was made up of 11 different rooms. Our loft-style room upstairs included both lower and upper balconies. This was truly the perfect accommodation for our little family of four. Adam and I slept upstairs and the boys slept downstairs on the couch. We couldn't get over how perfect it was! Comfy and quaint...our kind of place.

This was the view outside our balcony doors...

The San Miguel river ran right alongside our lodge. We kept our windows and balcony doors open at night so that we could listen to the rushing water as we trailed off to sleep. Pure heaven.

This is where the boys liked to play every time we walked outside...

It felt like we were semi-nestled in the woods and that was the most amazing feeling. The only downside...if I had to pick one...was that the bathroom was really, really tiny. NOT a big deal at all. We dont' need a lot of space. But if you're someone who likes a bigger bathroom, this wouldn't be your jam. However, for us, it was the perfect spot. This will be our go-to lodging when we visit Telluride again, for sure!!!

We settled into our lodge, changed into warmer clothes, and walked to Colorado Ave. (which is the main drag) for dinner. I felt like our lodge was centrally located to everything we wanted to do and once we parked the car we didn't drive it again until leaving town. Everyone we met and several people on IG recommended we eat at Brown Dog Pizza. We're never one to turn down pizza, so that's where we headed for our first meal in town. Everyone clearly knew what they were talking about because that was one of the best meals we've had in a long time!!!

It's a cozy place with lots of TVs for the sports fanatics, and the kids had the option of making their own pizzas at the table and sending them back to bake. I thought that was such a cool touch! Of course, they both opted to create their own and here they are making their meals...

The end product....

They ate every last bite! As did we (we opted for the supreme pizza...highly recommed!). Ha! Great first meal! I would HIGHLY recommend stopping here if you find yourself in Telluride.

We headed to bed a little early so we could wake up and hit the trails for some hiking the next morning. We are a family who loves to hike, so I researched some of our options before getting into town. I wanted an easy to moderate trail because we aren't experts & I figured we'd still be acclimating to the altitude. Plus, hiking with kids for this semi-overprotective mom sometimes has me on edge. Both boys are great hikers. They LOVE it. But they're also a little over-confident so I didn't want anything extraordinarily difficult or treacherous. After lots of research, we decided on the Bear Creek Falls Trail and it was a bonus that the trailhead was about a 5 minute walk from our lodge.

We read that the bugs can be pretty annoying through certain parts of the hike, so we came prepared with bug spray....and LOTS of trail mix, granola bars, and water. It's a 4.5 mile round trip hike so all of those extras came in handy. The hike was AMAZING. Wide open trails to walk up until hitting the top before the waterfall. Some parts of the trail were a little more challenging to hike than others (steep, rocky, etc.), but it wasn't "hard" by any means. This little area was a great resting point going up and coming back down...

I guess hikers stop here and stack rocks one on top of the other and leave them for the next group of hikers to ogle. My youngest absolutely LOVED this area. He quickly went to work making his own little stacks and he was so very proud of his handiwork. See?! LOL.

We stopped and snacked. Drank some water. Stacked some rocks. And then headed to the top.

It was sweet heaven when we finally made it. I mean, just LOOK AT THIS VIEW!!!!!!

We sat down our gear and the boys headed into the water to jump across the rocks and explore. I watched our things and sat down to catch my breath while taking in the beauty of God's creation.

The sheer magnitude of those views is so hard to articulate.

We realized we hadn't exactly made it to the top when the boys finally came back from exploring. We came to see the waterfall so we needed to climb a little bit more to get to our final destination. The path going up was a bit trickier. Definitely narrow and steep-ish in parts...wet and rocky...a little slippery...but the boys powered through and the climb to the top was worth every breath lost. It was BEAUTIFUL.

We stayed at the falls long enough to snap a few pics and marvel at the view. My oldest was ready to get down. He's not a fan of heights...just like his momma....and this part of the hike had him feeling a little nervous. And if I'm being honest, it had me a little nervous, too.

If you're in Telluride with kids, I definitely recommend this hike. Yes...it's long. 4.5 miles round trip isn't exactly a short walk in the park. But it's definitely worth it. My boys did so much better than I expected. They were great! My youngest lives life at a much slower pace than my oldest. He takes his sweet time doing everything (hello 45 minutes to eat a hot dog!!!!). So he definitely took his time on this trail. Dad walked with our oldest and I walked with our youngest. We lagged behind the other two the majority of the hike, but the conversations we had were worth the distance between us. The only time the boys complained was on our way down when we had about a mile left to walk. My youngest said, "are we close yet? My legs are getting tired." And that was it. Not too bad!

Walking back to our lodge after the hike....just right down the street.

We headed back to the lodge, changed clothes, and walked back to Colorado Ave. for lunch. We were STARVING!!! We went up and down the street trying to figure out what to eat. Everyone wanted something different. We were all a little irritable and HANGRY. My oldest could live on grilled cheese and when we found this cart we knew he found his lunch...

We grabbed him a sandwich that he could eat on the go while the rest of us tried to agree on something. IMPOSSIBLE. Like I said, irritable and hangry. After walking in and out of several different places, we finally settled on Smuggler's Brew Pub which was right around the corner from our lodge. We sat on the patio, ordered our food, and after what seemed like forever, we finally chowed down. And then came the rain. OF COURSE!!! Irritable moods were made even worse. Lord help us. Let me say this though...the food was EXCELLENT. Great menu and the atmosphere was one of my favorites. The only thing that dampened our experience was the rain ( no pun intended). I would definitely recommend stopping in for a meal here. I ordered the meatball slider sandwhich (amazing!) and my youngest ordered the nutella on toast (which he took two bites of and then abandoned. not cool). No idea what the spouse was eating because I was hyperfocused on my own meal and all the food my son wasn't eating. Definitely would go back again!

We headed back to the lodge for a nap because we ALL needed one. And it was the best nap ever. We slept with the windows and doors open as the rain came down. Perfection. When we woke up a few hours later, we got dressed and headed to the gondola to ride up to Mountain Village and see what it was all about.

Like I said earlier, I have a fear of heights, so I was NOT looking forward to the ride up. It's a pretty steep climb, but everyone was telling us it was a MUST DO and I certainly didn't want the kids to see my fears get the best of me. So up we went and I'm SO glad we did! Yes, I had butterflies in my stomach almost the whole way up, but WOW. The views were unparalleled. Just stunning!!!!

Mountain Village was DARLING and I could absolutley see how it would be even more amazing during ski season. By the time we got there, all the little shops were starting to shut down and it was pretty quiet. However, I think we would've loved staying here this time of year. There were a ton of things for the kids to do...panning for gold, trampoline bungee, obstacle course, park, etc....but they were all closed for the night. . However, we were able to find a little park with a rock climbing wall and the boys enjoying *trying* to scale it until they gave up. Ha.

The restaurants were all still open as was an open area with yard checkers and other little games for the kids to play. We just got up there at the wrong time. Going during the day would've been our best bet. I would probably suggest staying in Mountain Village during the summer if you have kids. You could always take the gondola down into Telluride if you plan on hiking or just walking around town. The vibe in Mountain Village just seemed a bit more family friendly. But dang...that Manitou Lodge in town was the best!!!!

After the boys finished playing, we headed to a little pub to grab a local beer and then gondola back down to town. We walked to The Floradora Saloon for a late dinner. I was OBSESSED with this place!!!! I'm all about the cozy little places with lots of history and The Floradora Saloon has been around Telluride since the early 70's. Much of the decor from those days is still intact which adds to the charm of the atmosphere. The food was WONDERFUL, too. So flavorful and completely unexpected. I had the baked mac & cheese and ohmiword....to-die-for. Adam got the Pork Green Chili and said it was the best chili he's ever had. Great dining experience!! HIGHLY recommend.

The next morning we were up bright and early to clean-up, pack up, and hit the road to our ultimate destination...Breckenridge! We loaded up the car and walked to Baked in Telluride for breakfast. It was just one block up from our lodge and we were dying to check it out after walking past it several different times. Just look at all these baked goods!!!! Of course, the boys opted for donuts as big as their heads...

Dad had a croissant and I had an apple turnover. Both excellent selections, but I'm thinking anything from this place would've been amazing.

After breakfast,we took the gondola back up to Mountain Village to grab a souvenir Tervis we saw window shopping the night before, and then back down to head out. I LOVE Breckenridge and couldn't wait to get there, but I did NOT want to leave Telluride at all. Two nights wasn't enough. We decided we need more time to explore next time we're out that way. We'll tack this on to our trip and make our stay last a few extra nights. There are a couple of other hiking trails we'd love to try and sights we'd love to see like Bridal Veil Falls.

If you're thinking about a trip to Telluride, GO! NOW. Hahah. But seriously. You definitely want to see it for yourself. It's impossible to describe until you experience it in person. We will definitely be back and we'd even love to ski here one ski season if possible! I say "if possible" because the tiny airport isn't anything I'm brave enough to conquer. Big planes, big airports...I can barely even do those. Driving in the summer is way easier for my chicken self to conquer.

Many people asked why we didn't fly and this is exactly why. There's SO much to see and we wanted to see it all. Driving is the best way to do it! And since we both have time during the summer to road trip, we figured we'd make the most of it and drive. I personally LOVE road trips. Not just because I don't like flying, but road trips afford you the opportunity to see things you wouldn't otherwise. It helps that our kids are a little older (8 & 10), are easily entertained, and don't need diaper changes or bottles. We've been on 18 hour road trips to Indiana when they were babies and I know that's hard! But even so, road trips, in my opinion, are always the best way to travel!!!

Let's talk Breck tomorrow!
