guess who just wasted 2 hours drafting and deleting about a dozen text messages to their corporate boss who acted all sad and pitiable about being asked to pay them about $300 extra for two weeks worth of grueling overtime in the summer heat doing the full work of a barn manager while being paid like a teenage stable hand?

ya boy

#life of a texan peasant #they just straight up refused to pay me about $120 #boo hoo #has the CEO tried buying fewer avocados yet?#worker exploitation #workers rights #fml #job search time #I don't do charity work for corporations #ranch work #farm work #stable hand

"When my life got Flipped turned upside down"

Hey all, I know it's been awhile since I really posted, it's been a rather interesting last 3 weeks as I was terminated from my job at the youth camp, had to move on with my parents, and find several part time jobs just to cover my bills and the care and keeping of my critters.

I am safe and so are my critters.

The biggest challenge has honestly been trying to navigate the job market, how to be a 1099 employee (that's self employed or contract or several other part or full time classifications) and now I get to truly learn how to budget.

I am currently working 2 part time jobs that in a normal week will give me around 43 hours, might get more some weeks, but I only work my hours and I get paid for all time worked. This is nice compared to the salaried job I had when I was literally on call 24/7 because horses;) I'm finding it's rather nice to not be in charge and just responsible for getting my farm chores done.

Anyways here is a view from one of the barns I now work at as well as my two golden oldies horses.

I adore these 2 so much, so so much

Squish had gone to play Bannerlord cause he wanted to play as a knight because he enjoys it and then I slipped and fell hard onto an AU of him as a knight, me as a stable hand and Bun as the Prince (because god forbid he do any manual work hehe)

Me- They/Them

Bun- He/Him

Squish- He/Him

#au #sona #i'm obsessed with them #bun #knight #stable hand #prince #just a little au of us 3 #my art #art #digital art #kitty

Messy comic about his Intrusive thoughts

#one piece #portgas d ace #monkey d luffy #moonel.mspaint #tw intrusive thoughts #cw intrusive thoughts #Ace isn’t really the best and stable person #so I do think he used to have intrusive thoughts and it was especially directed to Luffy because Luffy would always let his guard down when #with Ace because he trusts him like an older brother #but Ace on the other hand still struggles with his issues of being the son of the late pirate king #he thinks he doesn’t deserve someone as special as Luffy so it all gushes up into a bunch of intrusive thoughts that #want to get rid of Luffy and push him away #to try and test Luffy if he really does mean what he said when they swore to be brothers #because if it weren’t for Luffy and Sabo. Ace didn’t really have much to live for and keep himself stable because he was just a child during #those times #.#sorry if I rambled there #i have a lot of feelings about this messy comic

I think there should be a horse girl movie where our plucky protagonist takes on the ~*problem horse*~ at the ranch but instead of being wild and untamable the horse is just really stupid.

#I don’t know much about horse movies but I have this scene in mind #on the day our protagonist meets her horse for the first time it suddenly starts pouring rain #and nobody can find this one horse let’s call him thunder #and all the stable hands are complaining about thunder and what a pain he is #and our wide eyed protagonist starts to get an image in her head that thunder is this wild unpredictable stallion #that she’s always secretly dreamed about ever since she first started riding #and eventually she finds thunder on her own and he’s just standing perfectly still in 3 inches of mud staring into space #she tries to get him out of the mud and he just lies down in it

Time for a new version!

I’ve really just had hand avatars on all my art social medias since 2015 huh...

#i miss watercolors #i'll try to get back into it next year #i've never had stable hands #so doing line art with ink is near impossible for me #but i would like to find a style that works #maybe sticking to pencils #man what a year it's been #another tough one #hoping to finish one more personal piece before the year ends #i feel i've made progress this year #with art and myself both #little steps #just gotta keep at it

I love how Linda time and time again is the "there is good in everyone" and "all the villains are just misunderstood"-type until our character mentions Ydris then she turns into a professional hater.

Omg now I want to see Soap begging Moon to marry him. Can Goose or someone have a Wild West fever dream so we can see all of those scenarios happen??

“When’re you gonna let me make an honest woman out of you?” Soap leans over the bar, broad shoulders hiked next to his ears as he settles on his elbows. You pour a shot of whiskey for him and try not to hit him with the bottle.

“When’re you gonna pay your tab?” You don’t really mind Soap, but it’s rather annoying that he won’t leave you alone. You’re not sure why he’s so set on you. Man like him could have anyone he wanted, half the women in town are clamoring for him, and the other half are married so they’re stuck pining.

“I always pay my tab,” He smiles. You narrow your eyes at him. He does. He closes out every time he leaves. That’s another annoying thing about him, he’s a good man.

“Then you’ve got no reason to keep comin’ around.” You tell him and turn to help the other patrons at the bar. You’ll get Soap some lunch later, let him sweat with his alcohol for a minute. Can’t have him thinkin’ you like him.

-

“You’re late,” You pull a clean glass and pour a healthy serving of whiskey in it before sliding it to Soap.

“Was pickin’ out wedding rings,” He tells you, taking the glass between his fingers. You can see the dirt under his nails, but his hands are clean. You wonder if he wiped them off before he came to see you.

“Who’s the lucky girl?” You ask, and even though you know he’s only joking your stomach still clenches uncomfortably at the thought Soap might have someone waiting on him.

“Hopin’ it’s you.” He says tipping his head back to swallow the whiskey neat. You watch the bob of his adam's apple as he swallows. Soap licks the last drop of whiskey off his lips as he sets his glass down, and you do your best not to watch the path of his pink tongue.

“You better watch out, someday someone’s gonna think you’re serious,” You pour him a second without being asked and go to collect empty glasses before he can tease you further.

-

Soap crowds you against the door to the store room, holding it closed as you try to keep the heat off your cheeks. You’re too used to having the bar between you, a solid barrier keeping him at arm's length. You scowl at him. His lovesick smile makes your stomach flip. You wonder if he’s sick in the head to keep chasing after you. How have you not managed to scare him off yet?

You do your best to keep up a glare, even under Soap’s studying glances. His eyes flick to your lips, then back to your eyes. He really must be mad.

“Do I make you nervous, Hen?” He asks. You feel your brows twitch down a little more.

“Why would you make me nervous?” You aren’t nervous. Your heart must be beating that quickly for some other reason. Soap hums, raises a hand to caress your cheek, his touch soft and clean. His hand is cool against the heat of your skin.

He kisses you before you can push him away. His lips pressing firm against yours make you melt a little. He cups your face so gently, like you’re something to be treasured, something delicate that he has to be careful with. It’s a far cry from your rough exterior, but you almost…like it. It’s especially pleasant when his lips part to kiss you again, hardly bothered whether or not you’re kissing him back. You haven’t pushed him away, and that matters far more. It doesn’t take more than a second of coaxing for you to grip his shirt and kiss him.

Pressed against the door isn’t the worst place to be when Soap is the one pressing you against it. His body is firm and warm, his fingers tilting your head to let him kiss you at a comfortable angle. He tips his own head to catch the corner of your lips, your jaw, your neck just over where your pulse hammers. You wonder if he can feel it, if he can hear the soft sigh that escapes your lips when he does. He kisses you properly a final time before he pulls back.

Still so close, his thumb swipes against your lower lip. You can’t seem to make up your mind on what you’re supposed to do now. You feel like the whole world has turned pink at the edges.

“Marry me,” He whispers and you feel your heart clench so severely it makes your breath skip. Your lip wobbles a little. You’re supposed to be stronger than this.

“No,” You tell him with as much resolve as you can manage. You expect him to frown, or tease you more, but his smile only grows.

You’ve never given him an answer when he’s asked, only ever redirected the conversation or made a joke in response. (The jokes were the worst, always on the wrong side of self deprecating, Soap thought those hurt more than a rejection) To get an actual response out of you? An acknowledgement of the sincerity behind the question? Well, some ‘no’s are worth a thousand ‘yes’s.

#1870s!cowboy #cowboy!Soap #oc: moon #johnny soap mactavish #john soap mactavish #johnny soap mactavish x reader #soap x reader #soap x oc #I assume soap is a ranch hand or a stable hand #he works hard and gets dirty but he always makes sure his hands are clean when he sees Moon #don't wanna accidentally dirty her up if he gets the chance to touch her #I think he got tired of waiting for her to realize he wasn't joking #gotta prove he's serious about her somehow #how did he fall for Moon and why is he chasing after her? who knows #I knows #I think he had to deliver something to her early one morning and spotted her in her pjs #and thought “I wanna wake up next to her”#and it was all downhill from there

So uh. You guys know I love The Last Battle. But more and more I'm becoming convinced that there's at least as much Ragnarok in there as Revelation. Quite possibly more, if we're going by page count. In the Bible, we're given a picture of God's sovereignty; in Ragnarok, we get pure Northern fatalism. The Last Battle has both, but until the last couple of chapters it's definitely skewed towards the latter.

Main case in point: the literal battle. We don't really get a last, hopeless battle to fight in the Bible. We're faithful witnesses, martyrs, and eventually victors alongside Jesus, but at no point in Scripture do God's people have to (get to?) grab our swords and die in desperate battle with the Enemy. The picture Scripture gives us is a little bit anticlimactic, actually.

Ragnarok, on the other hand, is this tragic losing battle where all the gods die, but get to take their enemy out with them. The world ends in this great, hopeless clash and the cycle starts again. It's tragic and mournful it's intensely narratively satisfying. It's clearly the stronger influence on the climax of Lewis's The Last Battle.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, mind you. I love the hopeless, elegiac quality that The Last Battle derives from its Northern influences. However, one of the things that really sets the Narnia books apart from most other children's fantasy is the fact that the kids' agency is usually subordinated to Aslan's power. The Pevensies don't save the day in LWW, for example, despite being the subjects of an ancient prophecy; they mostly sit back and let Aslan do his thing.

As such, I can't help but wonder what a version of The Last Battle without a last battle would look like. What if our heroes never got to pick up their swords and go down fighting? I don't think it would be a better story necessarily (Jack is on record saying that if you're looking for a religion with a really compelling story, you can do a lot better than Christianity - and then proceeds to cite the Norse mythos as an example). However, I'm still quite curious what it would look like. Food for thought.

#maybe I'll try my hand at it one of these days idk #i just finished a piece exploring the norse influences that are already there so it would probably be a while at any rate #but yeah. the dividing line between Ragnarok and Revelation in LB is very much the stable door #narnia #pontifications and creations #chapter one
