Yeehawgust 2024: Greener Pastures

Saddle up, folks! We’ve got greener pastures on the horizon, because it’s time for Yeehawgust’s 6th year this August!

Yeehawgust features daily art prompts as well as alternative weekly prompts, for those of us who are a bit slower on the draw. Don’t draw at all? No problem! Submit any art at all, be it illustration, comics, writing, fanfiction, photography, embroidery, sculpture, music, or whatever other creative endeavors you might enjoy. All skill levels are welcome, and this can be a great opportunity to experiment with new styles and techniques. 

Maybe you love media like Red Dead Redemption and Fallout: New Vegas, or classic westerns like The Magnificent Seven. You might enjoy the genre, and you’re looking for a chance to make a cowboy AU and put your OCs in chaps and your blorbos in a Stetson. Heck, maybe you just really want to draw horses. Whatever your reason, you’re welcome to join in, pardner!

Tag your work with #Yeehawgust and follow along here on the Yeehawgust blog. If you include any external links or directly tag another Tumblr user in your post (which may impact search visibility), make sure to also tag this blog or contact the mod directly so your work will get reblogged! 

Check out the “Reblogging Policy and Q&A” linked on the blog for more info about Yeehawgust. The event is also Yeehawgust on Twitter, YeehawgustPrompts over on Instagram, and now yeehawgust.bsky.social over on Bluesky... but Tumblr is where we hang our hat at the end of the day. 

And remember, y’all: be rootin’, tootin’, shootin’, and most importantly, be kind.

Imagine you're a sheltered woman from New York in the 1850s. By the time you're a young lady both your parents are dead, so you have no choice but to leave your cushy little family home, get on a train and meet your only living relative. You're kind of useless, bookish and naive. You've never experienced anything but comfort. Your uncle tells you he doesn't want you around, but as a woman you can't do much on your own, and what could you do? You're as helpless as a lamb.

Your uncle betroths you to a man in Oregon, and ships you off to travel the oregon trail with all your treasure (jewelry, bonds, antiques, etc). The only thing is that he can't just send you on your own- you've only been in the real world the past few days to travel to him!!! You've been an anxious little hermit, and who's gonna carry your trunk full of romance books?

Your uncle hires security company 141 to escort you through the grueling journey, and you're none the wiser that company 141 doesn't exist, but outlaw gang Ghost team does...

Anyways I neeeeeeed more western and cowboy 141 and I've been playing rdr2 lately soo

This could work for any of the boys :')

Gaz who's just like your fairytale men. Kind, considerate, kisses your hand. He gives you a little extra bacon in the morning when you whine and picks wildflowers for you when he sees a pretty one (like you). You're defenseless against his charms.

Price who's...... the embodiment of your daddy issues. Spoiler? But you grew up so sheltered because your dad believed your family was cursed, and made you scared to be in the world. Price is so big and solid and comforting, older and bearlike... you definitely could call him daddy :')

Johnny who's got you flustered and blushing the entire way, even when you're miserable, when you're beyond travel weary. He's carefree about touch and space, and for someone who grew up locked in a single space for so long, you're like putty at the simplest touches from him

Simon's a wildcard. He wears a bandana, which makes everyone but the company nervous, and he's always riding off. You rarely see him, but you're mesmerized by his pale eyes and pale lashes, his scars and his story. He kind of hates you for how you don't seem to know like... anything. He let's the others care for you, counting the days until they can meet up with Kate and abandon you for dead with all your ma and pas jewelry and valuables and onto the next robbery... unless (0)o(0)

Also the guy you're meant to marry is graves LOL. Your family is deep in the railway industry and filthy rich and graves is buying up land and planting vineyards. Hes getting rich off of wine :') that's the story in my head

Plsss forgive me if this has already been written!!! I had a dream about it and I couldn't remember if it was something I'd read, or something I thought up. I looked around tumblr and ao3 for anything but couldn't find anything. Pleaseeeeee contact me if its your idea, I'm terrified of accidentally plagiarizing lol

FRAT HOUSE ──── featuring tomura, touya, keigo.

about. attempted headcanons of the trio as frat boys. alcohol, cigarettes, girls mentioned. y'know, typical frat stuff.

notes. me and @angeliicheartt's new obsession apparently

.𖥔 ݁ TOMURA SHIGARAKI

the quiet one. first of all, tomura isn't that much of a party-guy. he's a gamer— almost stuck to his room and probably rotting in there for days up to weeks. regardless whether he's a gamer or not, he's known around as a frat. in fact, the president of the fraternity.

it's a shock to many because of how he appears in college outside the parties. his dull and saddening appearance. but really, when there's a party in his house, his leadership skills make it all worthwhile to the club and they were all nights you nor any other souls will ever forget.

tomura's an occasional smoker— he only does it at parties only. he's always influenced by either you or touya when you both edged him to try a few inhales and exhales. he's not too much of a drinker too, because he knows with just a few sips, and he's all dreamy and his cheeks are flushed red with the prominent evident of alcohol consumption.

.𖥔 ݁ TOUYA TODOROKI

everyone wonders why the president and assistant president of the frat club are so quiet. well touya just doesn't like to mingle around too much. he's always at the corner, watching everything unfold. a drink’s in his hand, either a cigarette in his other hand, or his phone.

let's not forget he'll realistically have a girl or two trying to get a feel of his skin so he will either have to play along for the fun of it or spew poison to their souls so they will leave him alone.

when touya does feel different and mingle around though, you'll see playing table games with other college boys. he comes in competitive, having the absolute want to win every single go-pong game. his patience might run thin though, but he'll always come and find you for a smoke or two outside tomura's house.

.𖥔 ݁ KEIGO TAKAMI

mr. party monster. the one and only man who provides the killer music of the party. somehow keigo’s the most excited for the party, even more than his two enthusiastic leaders of the club. well no matter, he's got a playlist stacked up for unforgettable nights anyways.

loves to have his hand on a woman's waist or hips. he'll only feel completed with a woman by his side, his fingers controlling the disc, or a drinking competition with touya. if anything, keigo's the averagely typical frat boy in any western movies or series. he takes pride in being known as the most popular boy of school.

likely to snap out of his party monster mood and suddenly grow bored at one tiny moment. so during that tiny moment, he spends it yapping with you on the couch, food in your laps as you both talk that moment away until his party mood slowly creeps back onto his skin. it's highly over for you, since he'd drag you along to dance with him to the music he chose. can you keep you with his blazing enthusiasm?

There's something so lovely about the idea of decomposing. A sort of poetry that comes with returning to the earth. Moss taking over my skin, vines tangling into my bones, flowers growing from the nutrients in my blood, animals using me to feed their young. I hope after I die I get to haunt a spot where the forest meets the sea so that I can ominously stand looking over the ocean. I am also content with Haunting a large woods filled with animals that I can spend eternity running with. Life is so beautiful but I feel death will be just as beautiful in its own strange way.

[c0unterclockwise]

One of my favourite memories is fishing for catfish on the pier with my father. I don't think I caught more than a tree root, and when the mosquitos got too violent we went inside and watched the news.

[hussyknee]

I woke up to the news about Refaat Alreer. I still feel cold. Imagine seeing someone talking on your TL every day, narrating what the genociders are doing, counting the dead and telling their stories, amplifying his colleagues in Palestinian activism and academia, advocating and pleading endlessly for a ceasefire, delivering blistering witticisms about Zionist propaganda and then...he and his whole family are dead.

Two of my favourite tweets by him, calling out the craven Western media for never naming Israel.

It feels like a funeral today. My whole TL full of his students and Palestinians mourning Refaat alongside writers and journalists and academics from all over the Global South. The only people who matter to us is us.

Meanwhile, Zionists are attacking us under our mourning tweets, circulating the tweet where he laughed at the monstrous lie of Hamas cooking a baby in an oven during Oct 7th, one of the lies that fuelled the slaughter that eventually killed him too.

This was his last tweet.

USAmerican disability activist Imani Barbarin's tweet today was partially motivated by Refaat's death.

I need to go offline for a while.

I leave you with Refaat's last poem that was his pinned tweet for over a month. When a storyteller dies, generations are robbed of universes. When a poet dies, the world loses a piece of its soul.

You can find Refaat's book "Gaza Writes Back" in my gdrive folder of Palestinian literature. I don't know where the royalties will go now, but please also try and find it in a bookstore or library.
