#manda’s asks

idk if you know anything about western riding, but i’d love to see a joey b x cowgirl reader. like competing in rodeos doing barrel racer or cattle roping?

gonna make this a blurb because why not 🤷‍♀️

warnings — none! just fluff :)

THE AIR IS WARM, dust kicked up by cattle and horse alike glow in the sunset streams. The buzz of the crowds and the occasional shout of the announcer break the silence, but it doesn’t break the meditation that she’s in.

She takes a soft, small brush and dusts off her horse’s face. His breaths fan her arms as his ears flick around, watching and listening. He’s a good horse, takes care of her and holds his ground. He’s not afraid of much and he keeps his girl safe.

“Can I give him a mint?” A voice interrupts the silent conversation she’s having with her horse. Her eyes flick from her horse’s calm, brown eyes to her boyfriend’s blue eyes.

“Of course you can,” she hummed, patting the cheek of her horse. Her stomach is in knots; her race is in 15 minutes. She needed to be at the gate in 10 minutes. Barrel racing was her passion, and it was one of the only times when she and her horse were one. They moved as one body, one heart, one pair of lungs.

Joe knew her passion. He loved watching her. The way her eyes crinkled as she focused, her pupils dialed as her and her horse focused on the three, looming barrels in the arena, it entranced him. Her hands were so soft yet firm, her legs strong and a guiding force for the beast beneath her. It was like watching a movie.

Joe unwrapped the peppermint and he stuck it in his hand. He stuck his hand under her horse’s nose, the soft velvet of his nose grabbing the peppermint. Joe watched as her horse swished the mint around his mouth, then stuck out his tongue.

“He likes to suck on them,” she chuckled, adjusting her stirrups, looking over to see her boyfriend engage with her gelding. Her two boys, her two lifelines.

“You what else likes to get sucked on?” Joe raised his eyebrows, doing slow air humps with his hips. She took a brush, tossing it at him.

“Pervert,” she smirked, watching as Joe’s cheeks lit up. They were alone, all except for the horse and the trailer. She checked the time on her Apple watch, and she exhaled. Her stomach flipped, even if she knew what she was doing. Even if she had confidence.

She grabbed her horse’s bridle, slinging it over her shoulder. She unclipped the halter, handing it to Joe.

“You’re gonna kill it, ya know,” Joe hummed as he hung the halter up, “you always do,”

“I know,” she sighed, softly guiding the bit into her horse’s mouth. She slid the head stall over his ears, adjusting his forelock.

“Then why are you nervous?”

“Do you get nervous before football games?” she asked him, adjusting her cinch.

“No,”

“Okay hotshot, I do get nervous even if I know I’m gonna do well,” she quipped, shooting him a look. He came up behind her, knowing she needed a leg up. He cupped her knee, gently tossing her into the saddle as she jumped.

“You shouldn’t be nervous,” Joe smirked, settling a hand on her thigh as she adjusted her feet, “you make the crowds go wild,”

“That’s because I’m dating you,” she quipped, guiding her horse away from the trailer. Joe walked with her, keeping in step with her horse with ease.

“No, I hear them scream your name, not mine,” Joe smiled up at her. He was proud of her, and he loved watching her go. This was her element, her field. He loved watching her command it, make it her own. It filled him with a sense of pride; he was her boyfriend.

He led her to the opening to the alley, to which her horse’s body tensed. He watched as she walked down the alley, blowing him a kiss. He shook his head, crossing his arms over his chest. She was his girl, his horse girl, and he wouldn’t change a damn thing.

I hope yall don't mind questions (idk if this is outreach and highlight only blog) but for someone who is planning their first bind, how do people who can't afford tools like cricut normally decorate their covers?

Hello!

There's a couple of posts that have been made by Renegade Bindery members, such as:

@a-gay-old-time's post about how they do their painted covers

@celestial-sphere-press's post about how she has approached binding with alternative book decoration

There's also some resources from other people in the general bookbinding community, such as:

DAS Bookbinding's video about Paper Labels

If other members have some resources, please respond to this post. And good luck on your first bind!

hi! I’m new to your page but your writing is so skilled! So here I am requesting a Levi x reader post war, where the reader insist on taking Levi stargazing? And at some point the reader’s hand get cold and Levi insists on warming her up? Thank youuu! 🧡

Hi!! And welcome!!! You’re so very sweet, I truly don’t think so but thank you! This is such a cute request it kinda got away from me (in a good way) 😅 I hope it’s okay.

🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

“Y’know this can be considered kidnapping,” Levi jokes from the passenger seat.

You place one hand over your chest, feigning shock as the other still grips the steering wheel. “I would never,” you continue before placing both hands back on the wheel. “Besides,” you briefly glance at him with a grin. “You came willingly.”

Levi saved you from a terrible fate, slicing the fingers off a titan before it had the chance to swallow you whole. After, you insisted that he come over to your place so you can make him a cup of tea. It’s the least you could do is what you told him. Levi’s not one to accept a gracious offer like this from a civilian but there was something about you that was inviting to him, and he couldn’t help but give in to his curiosity. You two spent the next hour talking. Well, it was mostly you doing the talking but you asked Levi questions and surprisingly he answered. After that initial meeting, you checked in on him from time to time. He got used to you popping in. Your visits became so frequent his squad knew you by name.

The rumbling followed shortly after and you didn’t hear from him for a little while. Of course you were worried. You surprised yourself, and him, by practically jumping on him the day he got back. Since then, you two have been closer than ever.

“Come on, you’re not even going give me the slightest hint?”

You fight back a chuckle as you answer. “Weren’t you a captain? Aren’t captains supposed to be patient?”

“I wouldn’t have gotten anything done as a captain if I were always patient now, would I?”

“Fair enough.” You look ahead at the road in front of you, appreciating the sight. It’s a nice evening, the sky has transitioned from a deep blue to an almost black. Sparkles of light are start to peek out.

“Stars.”

“What about them?”

“We’re going to see them.”

“I see them every night.”

“Not like this. We’re stargazing tonight.”

You drive down a deserted road; the light pollution fades away as you approach a lake. You see the brilliant shine of its water and smile.

“Okay, this should be fine.” You say before stopping the car. You don’t turn off the headlights so you can see what you’re doing. You grab Levi’s wheelchair from the bed of your truck and help him onto it before you wheel him right in front of the lake.

“Trying to drown me?” You can hear the smirk in his voice.

“I would never drown Humanity’s Strongest Soldier.” You say with a little more admiration than you mean to. Levi hums in response and you take it as your cue to get your seat. “Be right back!”

You feel a steady breeze hit you as you walk to and from the truck. You approach Levi with your chair in tow. His head is tilted upwards, towards the sky.

“So…what do you think?” You ask him as you take your place next to him.

“Not bad.” He nods to himself, seemingly admiring the stars scattered above him.

“Right?” You smile, gently nudging him with your elbow as you take in the view yourself. Your eyes jump from star to star. “Can you spot any of the constellations?”

You glance at Levi and you can see him scanning over the pattern of the stars for a moment before finding a familiar sight. “Orion.”

“Good eye.” You smile but it quickly drops when you realize what you just said, not wanting Levi to think you’re making fun of him. “Sorry, I didn’t mean-“

“It’s alright.” Levi cuts you off with a small chuckle. “I only have the one. I’m grateful it can still do its job.”

You sigh, relieved, and go back to admiring the stars. You both sit there in comforting silence for a while. The breeze starts to pick up and you feel the uncomfortable chill prickle at your skin. You don’t want to be the reason you two back up and go home so you try to subtly blow warm air into your hands. That, of course, does not go unnoticed by Levi.

“Cold?”

“A little but it’s okay -“

As if by reflex, Levi places a gentle hand over your cold one.

“Does that help?” He asks you, his eyes seemingly say they hope it does and it’s hard for you to answer because he’s so warm?

Levi interprets your lack of response for you not wanting his hand on yours so he ends up quickly pulling back. “Sorry.” He says quietly, the lightest pink coloring his cheeks. However, that doesn’t stop him from trying to help you. “We can also share my jacket if that’s better.” He tries to drape it over both yours and his knees but it isn’t long enough.

“Levi-“

“I don’t need it, it’s fine. You can stick your hands under it.” He drapes it just over your knees.

“Levi…” You start slowly, a smile in your voice. “How about we just,” You pick up his wrist, creating an opening so you can lean into him. Levi looks a bit startled but he follows your lead and wraps his arm around your shoulder. “And now the jacket can cover both of us. Is that okay?”

“T-that works.” He breathes out before he covers the both of you with his jacket.

There’s another moment of silence before Levi speaks once again. “Thank you.” He utters quietly.

“For what?” You ask him as you stare up at the sky.

“Showing me the stars.” ✨

I wanna say that like 80-90% of the time I just feel like a guy bein' a dude, but then there's this 10-20% where I just feel like. A goblin. A werewolf. A certified creechur. I can't really extrapolate it better than that with my limited vocab.

Most of the time I wanna grill and learn woodworking and make puns. Sometimes I wanna gnaw on femurs and scuttle around and be indecipherable but approachable as an Entity. And I don't really know what that means yet tbh.

"hey yeah we didn't feel like doing long questlines anymore :) sorry!" feels like an ao3 author's note who stops posting and leaves their fics unfinished on chapter 25/27 because they moved fandoms, except this is a (supposedly) professional company getting paid to produce a product people are paying for who are just leaving not just the event questline but like half a dozen proper questlines in general abandoned and unfinished in their game on what is essentially a whim.

Finishing a project is a skill that is quite literally expected of university students, let alone working adults, and offering good experiences to your players means giving them satisfactory endings to quests after stringing them along for years.

Any goddamn professional who goes "hey these long questlines aren't working, lets shift to a more stand-alone shorter style of quest development" should still have the goddamn decency to finish the ongoing quests instead of abandoning them entirely. It's messy and immature not to.

"oooo but [insert name] left the company!! so we don't know how to finish it :(" the only thing less professional than just throwing shit out unfinished is to have entire parts of your process rely on a single person with no way to pick it back up if that person gets sick/quits/gets fired. do fucking better.

joe burrow ideas!

pranking him saying a guy did your brazillian wax

L O L nah this would be hilarious

like you come home, just getting done with your wax and joe’s chilling on the couch. you sit next to him and he glances at you, his fingers still working the gaming controller.

“how was your appointment?”

“it was fine, my usual lady was out sick today so i had a new guy,” you said, so casually too. joe would pause the game and look at you, both confusion and jealousy written all over his face.

“a guy?”

“yeah, guys do brazilian waxes too, ya know,” you smirked at him, and it only fanned the flame in joe’s gut.

“i’m aware, but no guy should be doing yours,” his scrunched brow, the flare of jealousy in his eyes, its cute and hot all at the same time.

“it’s not that big of a deal,” you shrugged, only riling up more. his jaw clenched and shifts, controlling the burning jealousy in him.

“it is, babe, to me it is,” he argued, and his jealousy is red hot. you smirked at him, and let out a little laugh.

“what?” he asked, his eyes flaring with his irritation.

“there wasn’t a guy today,” you laughed, “my usual lady was there today, and even if she wasn’t, i wouldn’t let some random man wax me,” you added, and his face flushed. he fought a smile and shook his head grabbing his controller, gently shoving your shoulder.

“you’re in for it later,” he hummed, a playful glint in his eyes.

safe to say you definitely will be doing pranks like this again ;)

Felt like you should know that I wanted to look at your blog and fully typed "em" into the tumblr search engine. Because who am I trying to find? Em! Duhh

You're not alone because I did the same thing for Alexis @jailedmoonshine just yesterday 😆

[desire-mona]

mona's starting a tag game (everyone claps and cheers)

just 2 questions to answer!! this is my fav question to ask ppl

1) if we lived in a society where we didn't need to work to live, or didn't need money in general, what would you persue now that income isn't an issue? (hobbies, academics, trades, careers, nothing at all, anything goes!)

my answer - i would love to go into entertainment of any kind really, but the ideal would be standup! i would love to dedicate more of my time to writing too - both fiction and analysis type stuff that i post from time to time. honestly i just really like telling stories :-)

2) how do you think [insert whatever you chose to persue] would be affected by a society with no need for income?

my answer - ough. OUGH. i would KILL for an entertainment industry where profit isnt a motivator. more and more people creating art of all kinds for the sake of creating it, not to earn money from it. the passion put into works when income isnt an issue anymore. dreaming

tags!! no pressure at all, and apologies if u dont like to be tagged in things like this!!! @good--merits-accumulated @pencileraser1 @thatdumbgoth @hunny-mustard104 @ghostboyhood @asclexe @ash5monster01 @joonthedeadpoet @whenshedreamsofme (or ur dps blog idk which one u use for this stuff) @lookingglasswolf @clavidy @thiamblogger @arrr-im-a-dead-poet @blue-boulder @zethd + anyone else that would like to join! open2any1!!!!!
