❝ i swear to god, if ONE MORE PERSON orders the new flavor i’m going to kill everyone in this room and then myself. like SERIOUSLY, i’m going to end up BREAKING MY ARM trying to scoop the damn thing. why is it ROCK HARD? it’s ice cream, ice cream is supposed to be soft! ❞ working at scoops ahoy was NOT his dream job, plus the fact that he could not pick up ANY chicks wearing this god awful uniform… life SUCKED for steve harrington right now.
@ruggedcountrie : “ it’s okay if you need to vent. ”
"oh well thanks, but –” cheyenne started, eyebrows coming together as an almost confused expression painted it’s way across her face, “ – you know, we haven’t actually lived there that long, it’s a pretty new place. i don’t think there’s any problems with the vents.”
she's so excited ; her whole demeanor matching that of what the children would have almost as she practically skips through the threshold to the mess hall-- admiring the hand painted banners adorning the walls that she & sienna had spent all night prior to this making . emerald orbs land upon the messy blonde mop of robin , the camp cook , & a smile immediately blooms on the shorter counselor's face . ❝ hey robin ! how's it goin' ?? ❞ suzie hums , taking a seat atop one of the tables . ❝ you excited for the kiddos to get here , too ?? ❞ / @ruggedcountrie
the words hit too close to home, mocha hues instantly drifting to the other side of the bar where jake is. most of the time amy tries to be discreet and hide her feelings, but not with jonah. jonah understands, after all, having his own problems with his own unrequited crush. truthfully, for a second all she could think of was how he likes an amy and she likes someone whose name starts with a j, but things have changed. they are friends now, funny enough. the type that drink beers together at shaw’s and talk about feelings.
a minute passes & amy realizes she is still quiet and looking at jake, shaking her head before focusing back on @ruggedcountrie. ❝ i know what you mean, ❞ she whispers, taking a sip of her beer before she keeps going. ❝ no one is telling you not to care. you just- you can’t care the way you want to, i guess. which is not easy, i know, but- i don’t know. this is so silly. we are freaking adults, you know? it should not be this hard to deal with feelings for a co-worker. ❞
* @ruggedcountrie — WE’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. NO ONE’S GONNA RECOGNIZE YOU ( fig & gorgug )
GORGUG’S SHOULDERS DRAW UP AROUND HIS EARS. he’s always felt too tall — too big for any space he’s in. playing in fig’s band, sitting in the back behind a large set of drums, helps with that, oddly enough — but only when he’s onstage. everywhere else, being a ‘famous rockstar’ is really weird.
“ do you think we have crystal service yet? ” he asks instead of replying. gorgug pulls out his phone one more time, checking for any messages, or any bars that might indicate he can send one himself. “ i haven’t talked to zelda all day . . . ”

Same dam. Same weather. 24 hours later a wild fire east of me is creating a lot of #haze and lack of #sunonmyskin 😑 Still one of my #favoriteplaces ever. #rufusoregon #GilesFrenchPark #ruggedcountry #wildwildwest (at John Day Dam) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE2NyshFt5l/?igshid=18xj9ihjqmoa3
On our way to Selfoss, Iceland today. Breathtaking scenery. Black rock is the norm, much of it covered in moss. Very rainy, wet, cloudy day. 12 degrees Celsius was the high.
@ruggedcountrie : “ just tell me, is this wrong? am i being childish? ”
“i don’t know, jonah.” amy didn’t hesitate in her quick response to the other, eyes rolling ever so slightly. “is it the kind of thing you’d expect from a middle school-er? because if the answer to that is yes –” she let the sentence finish itself, before taking a second to feel a little bit bad about her somewhat snappy response. “i get that you’re trying to prove a point, but do you have to prove every point?”
glossy lips are pressed together, mocha hues roaming the store. it has been a weird couple of weeks doing counseling with adam and feeling like they are not going nowhere, but she is ready to focus on work and forget about everything else. it is what amy is good at, after all. in fact, the raven-haired woman is distracted and does not even notice when she bumps into jonah until her things are on the floor. ❝ oh, hi. sorry. i didn’t think you were working today. ❞
* @ruggedcountrie — THE ONLY GOOD LEADERS ARE THE ONES THAT HATE BEING LEADERS ( keyleth & percival )
KEYLETH ALWAYS BELIEVES IN HIM. percy isn’t sure how, given what she’s seen from him — what she knows that he has done and wanted to do. but she is unfailing in her faith. percy does not deserve it, and he does not want it for this, right now.
“ i have no intention of being a leader of any sort, keyleth, ” he replies firmly. “ and that does not make me a better leader for it. i have not the temperament for it all, nor have i the patience. cass . . . she will serve whitestone better than i ever could at its helm. ” he is more than content to sit at the back of the crowd, serving his sister instead.
* @ruggedcountrie — WERE YOU PREOCCUPIED, OR DID YOU JUST REALLY WANT A DRAMATIC, HEROIC ENTRANCE BEFORE YOU SAVED MY ASS? ( fig & fabian )
WITH A SLICE OF HIS SWORD AND SWISH OF HIS SHEET, FABIAN APPEARS BETWEEN FIG AND HER ASSAILANT. but, of course, she would not be fig if she did not have some sort of commentary on the way he puts himself between her and the danger.
“ not now, fig, ” he replies in that characteristic sing-song he’s never managed to shake — posh and proper, with a sword and a dance. but he turns to her once the cretin is cut down, with a sparkle of spells. “ i believe in you! ” the magic always feels better when it feels like this: inspiring, helpful, beautiful.
