John Price; Rancher
Tumblr media
Introduction to the AU
Let's meet our candidate!
Where is he from?
Deadwood, SD
Where does he live?
Pitkin, CO
What's his livelihood?
He came from a family of lawmen, but after being a sheriff for 10 years in a corrupted town, he moved to settle down and began his career in ranching, naming his business as the Bravo Six River Ranch.
What are his qualities?
John describes himself as a man who follows his morals and does what’s right. He’s been lonely, but having made a name for himself, he is a hard-working man who has focused on the quality of livestock he sells. Now, he wants to begin a family or at least share his love with his partner to spend the cold winters and beautiful summers with. He also stated he has a penchant for a good glass of whiskey and cigars, often treating himself after a rewarding day on the ranch.
He is vigilant, protective, and a true gentleman who respects traditions and the traits of being the man of the household. Since he does live in quite a small town, he is a provider for the townspeople for their meat while still holding to his oath of protection over the town. The photo he included is a shot of him smoking a cigarette while wearing his cowboy hat, and the one in the ad was of one during his sheriff days.
Biography
John Price was born in 1842 and was raised in Deadwood, South Dakota. He grew up in a family with a history of being lawmen and always felt called to follow in his ancestors' footsteps. As a young man, John became a deputy in the town's sheriff's office and quickly made a reputation of being a tough, no-nonsense lawman.
Over the years, John's reputation as a sheriff grew to legend in the area. He was widely respected and feared as a fair yet ruthless lawman. However, as time went on, he became increasingly disillusioned with the corruption in the judicial system. He saw criminals walk away free while innocent people were prosecuted for crimes they didn't commit. Feeling that the law had failed him, John decided to retire from his position as sheriff and move to the countryside in Pitkin, Colorado.
There, he purchased a ranch and found luck having a well-sized plot of land and named it Bravo Six River Ranch. He began raising livestock such as cattle, a few sheep, and even loved to have a few horses. It was still a tough life, to be sure. John had to work long hours, often amid cold weather and with little help. But found a sense of purpose and fulfillment in the quiet and peaceful town and mountain range that he had never experienced before. 
 He worked tirelessly to create a thriving business, soon earning a reputation as a skilled and reliable rancher. People came from far to buy his livestock, and he was known for both the quality and care of his animals. Despite his newfound peace, John never lost his passion for justice and sense of duty. He has remained a vigilant watchdog, ready to defend his community and friends against any threats that may arise.
John is a real man, a man who can provide for a family, a man who can protect his loved ones. He loves getting to know the people he protects and serves but craves companionship to keep his home warm, seeking someone who can be a helping hand on the ranch as he is tired of living alone.

(Saw this on social media (posted 11 hours ago) and decided to share it. I do not know the Hupp family but my heart goes out to them. There are times I feel as if the Lord allows me to see posts like this in order for me to share it with others.)
Our thoughts and prayers are with First Dakota Ag Banker Trevor Hupp and his wife, Kelsey. An explosion destroyed their home outside Fort Pierre yesterday morning, causing serious injury and loss of life to members of their family. A fund has been established in Trevor and Kelsey Hupp's name. Donations can be made at any First Dakota location.
Please join us in supporting the Hupp family in their time of grief. Food, clothing, and other items can be dropped off at: Maier Meats-The Hangout 102 Deadwood St Fort Pierre, SD 57532

OMG I love this one. I just re-read it a short time ago. I've always had a fascination with the paranormal, and I really loved the concept of Poe investigating a haunted house with Rey as the ghost. But... how to give them a happy ending? So, I turned it into a curse rather than an actual ghost story.
BTW, the house in my moodboard is the Adams House in Deadwood, SD. Our local paranormal group offers 'ghost hunts' there every October, and my brother and I went one year. So fun, and so much history. I want to do it again!

May 2023 Black Hills Trip
So I took a trip out to the Black Hills of western South Dakota and eastern Wyoming to play dorky tourist. Since I have way more than the ten pictures tumblr limits you for a photo post, I'm going to make a text post (plus also I wanted to talk about some of them.)
Warning: this is gonna be kinda long lol.
First stop, the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD:
Tumblr media
Then Wall Drug in Wall, SD:
Tumblr media
The next day we went over to Wyoming. I've been working on my own original story since I was a teenager and it takes place in Wyoming. When we were out there we happened to be quite close to the town I wanted to base my story off of. The town is a little one called Sundance. I took so many random pictures for references and to get a general feel for it. I also think the town of Deadwood would make a good base too, so I will probably merge some elements of both places together to make what I was going for. Most of the pictures weren't all that impressive, but here are some of the best ones from there:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since it was close by, we went over to Devils Tower as well. The funniest thing there was a conversation I overheard between a little boy and his dad. The kid was asking why there was so much stuff with aliens, and the dad replied, in the most Wyoming accent: "Because they're fixin' to take you."
Tumblr media
Next we took our sweet time getting our butts over to see Mount Rushmore and stopped to stare at the scenery along the way:

The next day we did less touristy things and took the scenic route through Spearfish Canyon. This was in the morning and it had rained the night before and it was gorgeous:

We also went up to Flag Mountain Camp, a summer camp that my brother works at. He has an adorable new puppy too:

Then we went through Custer State Park and got to see a bunch of animals. I got good pictures of a burro and a coyote, but we also saw a snake, bison, deer, and pronghorn antelope:

woe, characters be upon ye
massive thanks to @juiceofthebox44 for the most amazing commission art ever!! it was a wonderful experience. go check out its pinned post and throw money at her
image transcriptions below the cut!
Image 1:
Mary Anne “Annie” Ogden she/her Born May 7, 1842, Chattanooga, TN Died Sept 4, 1876 (34) Deadwood, SD Cause of death: Hanging Life occupation: Nurse Museum occupation: Sharpshooter mini Gender: Woman/Sexuality: Pansexual Kill count: 7 Good memory: Splitting her first bullseye out on the firing range with her father Bad memory: Skipping town in the dead of night to escape an arranged marriage Favorite food: Chicken soup Least favorite food: Raw carrots Curse of choice: Shit Annie Ogden is a cheerful woman with a disposition as fiery as her hair and a past as speckled as her freckled cheeks. She’s clever, self-assured, and stubborn as they come; rumor has it she once beat a trophy head in a staring contest. She firmly believes that a rule is only worth following as long as it helps somebody. Her experience with first aid has made her indispensable to the clumsier residents of the West, and years of experience has honed her instincts to a razor edge - if a bar fight breaks out, she’ll be the first to know, and you had better hope she’s on your side when she does. The speed and accuracy of her mind is only rivaled by her weapon: a Whitworth long range rifle, taken from the corpse of a Confederate sniper. 
Image 2:
Jane Lee Leung she/her Born February 10, 1862, San Francisco, CA Died January 22, 1900 (37) Sacramento, CA Cause of death: Plague Life occupation: Laundress Museum occupation: Barkeep mini Gender: Butch/Sexuality: Lesbian Kill count: 0 Good memory: Listening to the railroad workers tell stories around the fire at night Bad memory: Narrowly surviving a building collapse in an earthquake Favorite food: Homemade potstickers Least favorite food: Shrimp Curse of choice: Fuck Jane Leung is an even-keeled butch who serves up dry cocktails and an even drier wit. Born to a Chinese rail worker father, she doesn't mind living in the Western diorama; the clamor and chaos reminds her of home. Besides, it takes a lot more than rowdy cowboys to scare her.  Her take-no-shit attitude might make her seem aloof, but she's the most loyal friend you could ever hope for - she's always ready with a listening ear and solid advice. She spends her days slinging bottom-shelf liquor and keeping her finger on the pulse of the town gossip. There are some benefits to running the only saloon.
Image 3:
Born December 1, 1849, Nauvoo, IL Died August 6, 1878 (28) Utah Territory  Cause of death: Sunstroke Life occupation: Cattle hand Museum occupation: Cowboy mini Gender: Nonbinary man/Sexuality: Bisexual Kill count: 0 Good memory: Watching the stars on a clear summer night, surrounded by fireflies Bad memory: Running away from home at 16  Favorite food: Pork and beans Least favorite food: Beef liver  Curse of choice: Damn Luke Maitland is a laid-back redhead who loves kids, the outdoors, and adventures, though he really doesn’t get along with the sun. You can usually find him hanging around the bar, losing at cards and being terrible at darts. Though luck is hardly ever on his side, he never lets that stop him from trying, and he always keeps a sunny disposition even when things are at their darkest. He would hardly call himself an angel, though; he can hold his own against the Romans, and he definitely holds his fair share of grudges against them. He’s a gentle soul, though. He loves his partner, Micah, more than anything – except their kids, Maria and Max, of course. 
Image 4:
Micah Rios Hernandez he/him Born July 8, 1857, San Antonio, TX Died October 12, 1886 (29) southern Texas Cause of death: Mine collapse Life occupation: Coal miner Museum occupation: Cowboy mini Gender: Nonbinary man/Sexuality: Gay Kill count: 0 Good memory: Learning to swim in the lake near his childhood home Bad memory: Nearly drowning in the lake near his childhood home Favorite food: Oranges Least favorite food: Eggs Curse of choice: Shit Micah Rios is a longsuffering Tejano man with two bad habits: smoking and falling in love far too easily. He’s borne witness to a lot of strange things in his life, so nothing really phases him anymore – not even living in a history museum a century and a quarter in the future. He’s often serious and quiet, though he’ll always volunteer to help if someone needs it. He just prefers to stay in the background. When it comes to fighting the Romans, though, it’s good to remember that it’s always the quiet ones you have to look out for. When he isn’t kicking Roman ass, he prefers to spend his time hanging out in Leung’s Bar with Luke, his partner, and their kids, Max and Maria. 
Image 5:
The Twins aka The Seedlings aka Maria Jane Ogden Rios Maitland she/her and Maximiliano Isaiah Ogden Rios Maitland he/him Maria and Max Rios Maitland are twins who are joined at the hip in every way but literal. Maria is bouncy, outspoken, and passionate about her friends, while her brother is softer, shyer, and highly opinionated about what’s right and wrong. Like all siblings, they have their ups and downs, but they always resolve it in the end; the fact that they share a bed probably helps. When they aren’t in school or out playing with their friends, they can be found drawing on any available surface. They’re proof that a family doesn’t have to be conventional - sometimes, a family is a little boy, a little girl, their two gay dads, and the lesbians whose bar they all live on top of.

I went crazy and made a Soldier OC, and I love him
He was Born in Deadwood, SD. USA
Soda was rejected from all branches of the Army during WWII, so he took up the Spear and bow. He bought his own plane ticket to France and then fougth Nazis til 1947 which is when he learned the war ended in 1945
When he returned to his homestate he took it upon himself to destroy Mount Rushmore. No one knows why he did it, since he's incredibly patriotic. But by the end of 1948, Mount Rushmore was nothing but rubble 
He's Trans and Bisexual
(I was gonna add his Top surgery scars to the ref but I can't draw pecs ;-;)
Primary: Spear
Secondary: Longbow

Attack from outside and cows loom dangerously close to the hot tubs
Monday, April 19th, 2021
CAL - While life has become predictably unexpected over the last few months, I can say with great sincerity that something truly unexpected happened this week. 
It was the middle of the day, I was asleep on the extra tall chair while the large, bald one stared into her laptop. Suddenly I heard footsteps outside. I am normally alarmed by bipedal movement, but this time the sound did not simply pass us by. Instead, it stopped abruptly, right outside of the door! 
Tumblr media
I immediately sat up, ready to defend our humble abode. Next, I heard shuffling. It sounded as if the biped was about to open the door. 
As for what happened next, I am not proud, yet I must report the incident as it occurred. I leapt down from my chair and started creeping towards the door when all of the sudden the creature outside started hitting the door. It was clearly trying to enter and it sounded large enough to do it. 
At that point, I lost it. I totally freaked out. Immediately I ran into the bedroom but then remembered that the bed frame connects with the floor and there was no room to hide underneath!
Next, I shot towards the dresser, but again, there was not enough room. In a state of complete and utter panic, I dashed behind the toilet and held myself perfectly still so that the intruder could not see me. I felt bad about leaving Michele alone, but my instincts had taken over. 
I waited for nearly 30 minutes before attempting a return to the living room. First, I peeked around the corner and saw that Michele was sitting in her normal spot, eating lunch out of a cardboard box. Soon we made eye contact and she whistled and clicked her tongue. It was only then that I knew things had returned to normal. 
MICHELE - Another week has passed and the weather in Rapid City, SD remains uncooperative. This is our last weekend in town and most of the trails are still too icy for hiking. I decided to spend the weekend indoors, at the Akela Spa in Deadwood. 
The drive up to Deadwood was charming, following a large open road through rolling, yellow hills. Upon arrival, I took a quick spin through Deadwood, which is a beautiful town, tucked away in a valley between snow-covered hills. Unfortunately, the town itself doesn’t have much to offer aside from casinos and T-shirt shops. 
The spa is located just a few miles outside of town. Upon arrival, I literally laughed out loud. I couldn’t help myself. Akela Spa is surrounded by a field of cows! This feels like an authentic South Dakota experience if there ever was one. 
Once I checked in, I was given a quick tour. There is a modest locker room, the waiting area, and the back patio, which features a few hot tubs, a steam room, and a sauna inside of a teepee. They also sell wine and beer and, all in all, I could not be more charmed. My service lasted about 1.5 hours including a body scrub, massage, and hot oil hair treatment. Afterward, I enjoyed some time in the steam room and wondered what the cows think about all of this. 
For the rest of the week, I mostly stayed in. At one point I finally caved and ordered delivery for the first time in quite a while. The food from Murphy’s Pub, was fantastic though I think the delivery driver may have scared Cal a little bit.

Spooky Season Damerey Fanfiction
Well, we all know Poe already had his own Halloween special, but sadly, Rey wasn't a part of his adventure.
However, two of my stories could be considered good spooky season fare. Both are Modern Alternate Universe stories.
The first one was written for last year's Damerey Week and had the prompt "Porcelain Dolls." It's a short story (for me) about a curse, and I actually researched how to remove curses for it! The house in the moodboard is the Adams House in Deadwood, SD, where I got to go on a real paranormal investigation a few years back.
Tumblr media
The second one actually stars a haunted house and a familiar ghost. It's long, angsty, and has some intense smut, so be prepared! The house used in this moodboard is the house located on the property where I board my horse. It sat for over 100 years near downtown Rapid City, SD before being moved to its current location in 2008. I'm not sure if it's haunted, but it sure could be!
