Hi I’m Kate!
I’m unfortunately 26 years old but I’m a COVID 24 and I’m sticking to that.
She/her
A fun fact about me is that I can never think of a fun fact not even for my own mf rp talk tag sorry everyone love u
IN CHARACTER
I’ll be playing the insufferable Elizabeth (Liza to anyone who knew her before 2005, but Elizabeth if u did not) Ward, her blog can be found @elizabcthward for more info!
She’s a late forty four, and will be forty five in September.
Liza previously worked in private sales at Sotheby’s until six months ago, when she moved back to Great Falls and has now deemed herself “financial consultant” for her family’s ranch.
A little bit about Liza: she’s a mess. She’s spent 17 years in New York pretending she’s got her shit together but she absolutely does not. This woman is a wild card with a mouth on her that would make a pirate weep and she quite literally does not give a shit about anything except three things: keeping her father’s legacy alive (and even that’s complicated, because half the time she hates him and half the time she’s a daddy’s girl, #daddyissues), getting her fair share of the money and land she and her siblings are going to be left when he finally croaks, and her niece. She means well but has a funny way of showing it, clearly.
I’m generally open to any and all connections! Liza’s not the friendliest human in the world but she’ll chat anyone up, she just might roast them a little bit while doing it. Would LOVE to have some connections from her past in Great Falls (I’m a huge sucker for high school connections, can be anything from enemies to past hook ups to best friends that have faded away) and I’m sure she’ll find a drinking buddy or fwb somewhere because if there are two things this woman loves it’s drinking and fucking (pardon my french srry).
If you wanna plot some before we open, don’t be shy & feel free to message me here or on Liza’s character blog!! My discord is also nancy drew#7706.
Her pinterest board can be found here!
#gf:talk#actually a fun fact about me is i've never been relaxed ever#which is why i did this IMMEDIATELY#ch. elizabeth ward

charlie puth liked one of my tweets recently while i was at a basketball game LMAO
IN CHARACTER.
lorianne “lori” abrams
36 years old (august 24th, 1986)
waitress and manager of dolly’s diner
virgo sun, taurus moon, gemini rising
trigger warning: hoarding, divorce, brief death mention.
lori is very much the “peaked in high school” type. she hasn’t been able to get over the past, obsessing over a time where she was once popular, the queen bee, and highly envied by her peers. during the duration of her life, her parents got divorced (her parents fell out of love when she was a teenager and her father started having an affair with their neighbor and lori’s now stepmother, katie) and she lost her high school boyfriend.
after her parents’ divorce, her mom started to hoard, and their house became more and more cluttered by the day. she stopped allowing her friends to come over due to the mess. she’s still working at the job she’s had since she was 14, which is a waitressing job at dolly’s diner. she’s since become the manager. her father ended up having another child, annabelle, who lori secretly loves with all her body and soul. but on the outside she remains relatively “indifferent” towards her baby sister.
in a nutshell, lori doesn’t really know who she is or what she’s doing. she’s trapped in the past, clinging to what once was, and remains in her hometown in fear of change bringing forth a reality she’s too afraid to face: that she’s no longer the center of the universe. she’s now a grown woman with an unpaved path.
WANTED CONNECTIONS.
found family
good friends
childhood friends
people she teased/bullied in high school (i’d especially love this one, i think lori needs a serious wake up call and i think being called out by someone she once put down would really rattle her)
enemies
exes
younger people that she used to babysit
someone who helps her find her voice
fwb
co-workers at dolly’s
someone she’s stolen from (lori has a bit of a shoplifting problem. it’s something she does to gain control in her life. but she’s started to steal things from her friends, which is where this connection comes in! this can be either positive or negative)
my discord is mel the shell#1149 if anyone wants to plot or chat!!!

IN CHARACTER
rebecca cohen
26
assistant art curator at abbott gallery
I’m super bad at being brief but I’m gonna try my best to be cohesive and relatively short with this but pls bear with me and my need to constantly ramble:
While Becky is technically a Ward, she doesn’t really consider herself to be one nor has she ever truly identified with that side of her family. The only one she had ever been particularly close to was her aunt Liza and even then, they’ve only recently begun to reconnect after years of only seeing each other a few times a year. Her relationship with her father can mostly be summed up as near non-existent, the man having been in and out of her life for the majority of it.
She has been in Great Falls for the majority of her life, having grown up in an apartment on the East End with her mother. Her relationship with the woman is equally complicated — her mom is, at the end of the day, the person she loves the most in her life but substance abuse and health issues often lead to a shift in dynamics between the two, with Becky taking on more of the caretaker role in her teenage years and onward.
She postponed college by two years after graduating, choosing to stay home and work while trying to figure out what to do with her life. Ultimately, she went to Montana State University where she got her BA in Art History. Only a three hour trip from Great Falls, Rebecca still came home often during her school years but really ended up thriving with the little bit of distance and freedom. It allowed her to focus on herself and figure out who she is outside of who her family needed her to be. When graduation began to near she toyed with the idea of moving to another state and a bigger city, maybe even continuing her education but a bad break up lead to her tucking tail and coming back to Great Falls. It hadn’t been ideal, but two years later she is content with the decision and knows that she’ll likely never leave again — not permanently, at least.
Currently she works as an assistant curator at Abbott Gallery and she really, really loves it. Ideally she would love to be able to make a living off of her own art, but she knows that realistically the chances of that being her primary source of income are pretty slim so she’s happy where she is and working her way up the ladder. The idea of opening her own gallery one day has floated around her mind once or twice but at this point in time she knows she’s still young and inexperienced in the industry and that if it’s something she ever has the confidence to do, it is a long ways away.
She has an apartment downtown where she spends the majority of her time, but she still pops in to check on her mother and spend time with her often. She’s also been spending more time at the Ward ranch in an effort to reconnect with her recently returned aunt and father.
She is an ENFP, Libra, Neutral Good, extrovert and often finds herself sticking her foot in her mouth because she says the wrong thing without thinking, or she just simply says too much. She’s been knowing to take criticism too personally and can, admittedly, be overly sensitive but she means well and she’s generally a friendly person and tends to strike up a conversation with someone just about everywhere that she goes.
POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS
Friends.
Extended family members on her mother’s side.
Maybe people she met in college who, for whatever reason, ended up in Great Falls too.
Exes/hook ups/ past flames/ etc— Bec is bisexual and tends to fall in love fast, hard and often. The downside is she falls out of love just as easily and is quick to cut romantic ties after watching the shit show that was her parents.
Enemies?? She can be annoying lbr I’m sure there are people who she rubs the wrong way.
Honestly I’m open to just about anything.
I’m v bad at replying to tumblr IM’s so pls feel free to message me for my discord and we can chat there!!
#gf:talk#idk if i missed anything im sure i did but anyway pls love me and little miss cry baby herself#very very excited for this rp <3

forty-three.
ex-getaway driver turned mechanic and sole proprietor of fellows automotive garage.
BIO TL;DR: your small town chokes you from a young age. you grow up as a statistic, they call you a "product of your environment". your parents hardly attempted the farce of marriage but by the time your little sister is born, they really aren't together. mama leaves one night after an argument that leaves the police on your doorstep and it's just the three of you doing what you can. your dad keeps the lights on and there's usually something to eat in the fridge but that doesn't stop you from turning your face toward the sun. one night he doesn't come home. and you learn words like premeditated and you come to know the pitiful advances of your social worker all too well. following your father's sentencing, you and your little sister are sent to live in georgia where you find your mother happily hunkered down with a half-family you only come to know of in the following summer. you mother becomes a bird that pecks at you for answers, anything to explain why you are the way you are. she urges you to do better, that you're just like your father. you prove her right.
this man is basically just a latino, prematurely graying version of miles from baby driver.
may or may not have gone to prison for 10 yrs after his capture following a heist he pulled with friends as a teen. when he got out he moved back to great falls for a semi-fresh start and has been here ever since.
basically pretending to be something he's not ?? he has questionable morals but i swear his heart is in the right place sometimes!

IN CHARACTER
Ryder Jay Decker
27
New Hand at Ward Ranch; peewee football coach
A little bit about them:
Ryder holds the title of “Last Baby Born at Great Falls General in 1994″, coming into the world on December 31st at 11:56 pm. That’s his ice breaker fun fact.
He loves animals, so growing up on a ranch was his dream. Chasing after the dogs in his great uncle John’s house on his hands and knees when he was barely a year old, to toddling after his cousin Sebastian to pretend to help brush the horses. The only thing he wanted from life was to be one of the cowboys that he saw all around him. He wasn’t scared to get his hands dirty as he got older, barely complaining when his older cousins tried pawning off the grosser chores on the ranch to him once he could see over the equipment they used.
He was just a happy kid overall, always surrounded by friends. He would be out of the house the second the sun was up and be running around until his mom had to call his name as the street lights were coming up.
He’s played football since the day his mom caved and decided that he was old enough to be in contact sports. He loves it.
He helped out on his great uncle John’s ranch for most of his life, getting more responsibility as a teenager. He absolutely adores working with the animals.
When he was 17 and riding a horse, the horse got spooked and ended up bucking him off and sent Ryder flying. Because of the head injury, he became deaf in one ear.
While Ryder always imagined working on a ranch, he has zero interest on the buisness side of it. So when John Decker said that he was selling the ranch, while he was upset, he was not as angry as his cousins who wouldn’t get a chance to run the ranch that has been in their family forever.
After meeting the new ranch owner, Ryder opted to get a job as a ranch hand at Ward Ranch.
he has a one year old australian shepherd named Holly. unfortunately for Ryder, he is Holly’s second favorite person.
He coaches peewee football with some of the guys he played football with in high school.
CONNECTIONS
I would absolutely love to talk through some plots/connections! I’m really down for anything but some that I had in mind are:
Friends (from high school, from work, from the neighborhood)
Football friends (also could be from high school or also coaches for the peewee league)
Exes / Ex hookups
Coworkers at Ward Ranch
Really down for anything!

OUT OF CHARACTER:
Name: Steph
Age: 28
Pronouns: She/Her
A fun fact about yourself: I’m that freak that wakes up at 4:15am every day on purpose. I like the morning time, it’s when I’m most productive.
STATS
Name: Sebastian “Bash” Eliott Decker
Age: 35
Birthday: December 28th, 1986
Occupation: Ranch Hand + helps out with overseeing the Decker-owned part of the Centurion Ranch
Resides: On the Centurion Ranch in a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house originally built for him and Savannah.
SUMMARY
Son of John Decker-- born and raised on the Centurion Ranch, hasn’t left Great Falls, MT or the ranch for more than a vacation
Grew up on the ranch learning how to ride, care for the animals, do maintenance, etc. and became obsessed with all of it— thanks poppa Decker
Met his future wife (and ex-wife), Savannah in elementary school but they started dating when they were 13 years old. They were big golden couple energy
Thought that he’d have more time for ranch life later on so teenaged Bash kinda went and lived a teenaged life
He married Savannah at 20 years old. She started college and he supported them by working on the ranch again.
After she graduated, he was supposed to go back to school to take some business classes to help him as the future owner of the ranch (big dreams, huh?)
John Decker sold the ranch though which like shook Bash to the core. He was totally blindsided and ended up really resenting his dad for it.
Bash kind of changed after that and was a bit hard to deal with. Eventually Sav gave him an ultimatum and told him they were going to leave town or they were done. Bash chose the ranch.
He still is planning on buying the ranch someday, he’s just saving up until then.
Currently lives on the Centurion Ranch in a house he built on the still Decker-owned land. It’s pretty empty considering it’s where he and Savannah were going to spend the rest of their lives, have kids, etc. but she’s been gone for 6 years so probably isn’t coming back.
PERSONALITY:
Positive: Loyal, Hardworking, Caring, Personable, Attentive
Negative: Pessimistic, Moody, Reactive, Defensive, Stubborn
FUN FACTS:
Bash is a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon, and Aries Rising
Bash has a dog named Jack, Jack’s mostly found in the pastures helping herd animals.
He has a fire pit in his backyard and has people over to hang around it.
Bash loves Morgan Wallace’s music, big fan— he’s been to one of his concerts so far to be a sad cowboy.
Bash played football all through high school on defense but was definitely just middle of the road average.
Loves to watch rodeo, football, baseball, hockey but doesn’t participate in any of them these days
CONNECTIONS:
Friends from high school including football friends, classmates, etc.
Family friends
Fellow Centurion Ranch workers/Previous Centurion Ranch Workers
Ranch Workers from other ranches
Drinking buddies
Hook-ups, Tinder dates, exes, etc. (since his divorce)
Friends of Savannah — obvi would be complicated
Trainees- maybe someone that wants to learn more about ranch life/horses/etc.
Enemies
???? Open to whatever you’ve got!!

fun (?) fact: was awake for a solid 72 hours straight this week bc of insomnia. love that for me
IN CHARACTER !
babe miranda, thirty-five, ward ranch manager.
formerly a ward wrangler, your local rodeo queen, and wild child (is that title really outdated?? just the child part)
your girlhood is exhibited on the floor beneath the passenger seat, a museum display of livelihood that rattles and shifts with each bend in the road and every twist in fate: emptied tin cans and flattened pennies engraved with carnival brands, flowers torn up from the roadside, guts ripped from dysfunctional scanners and overheated radars you rest your wet socks on. you spend this early life, without metaphor, as an accessory to the storm — packed into your father’s truck, running towards the things everyone else hides from. we chase storms, he tells you one night, so that one day there won’t be any more running — toward or away. we’ll just stand there and let them pass over us, clean as a sheet.
babe grows up the daughter to a meteorologist and storm chaser, her life between the ages of six and twelve something nomadic and dangerous, home-schooled from the passengers seat by her eccentric father while they floored through cornfields to track a twister.
at twelve they roll into great falls, her father having anticipated a hurricane rolling through the area in the oncoming days. at the local gas station they meet a man who would invite them to dinner after hearing about their intentions in the city - a gesture they’d grown used to given babe’s father’s warm charm and the southern hospitality of the great plains. unexpected was the land they pulled up onto that evening - jim ward’s ranch, sprawling as god’s eyeline.
babe is instantly besotted by everything she sees and the promise of everything she can’t. by the end of dinner, jim ward is equally interest in the advantages of a storm-reader on his property. a guest house is offered for the weekend, and in the end they never leave. a few months later jim ward sees hector miranda appointed as a meteorologist for the town, allowing the two-person family to live on his lands. quid pro quo, that seems to mean he gets an extra early heads-up when disastrous winds are rolling through
she grows wild once she’s put roots down - not in the sense of a wayward child but in the sense of dandelions and weeds, rocketing up and around everything in sight. catch preteen babe in the fields by moonlight, watching the switchgrass curl in the wind, or wandering too close to the howls at the edge of the woods. moving from girlhood to womanhood sees that wildness turns from the kind of weeds to the sort belonging to foxes and coyotes and wildcats, slick and coy. invents ship’s mast with the local boys, drinks whiskey with the old ranch hands, walks off from bush parties to skinny dip in the lake, etc etc.
dad expects her to return to their lifestyle after graduation, chasing degrees and then storms across the plains. jim ward offers her a job contract and a silent nod towards the hands cabin. nobody talks about the fact that this shouldn’t have been a choice she had to make. her father leaves down the dirt road and babe packs up and moves into an old cabin as the new wrangler. any stone the wards need turned, she throws her whole body into. it’s how she got all these bruises.
throw in an Incident in her early twenties wherein babe enters the woods wearing white and returns in blood, only for the wards to hand her a map, a pen, and some bleach...
undying loyalty to jim ward/the ward ranch as an entity, but someone should probably start to break that down. do you love it because you love it or do you love it because it was the manifestation of all the things you never had as a child or because you were pitted against your own father by the man who mentored you or because you feel you owe a debt ??? WHOSE TO SAY
promoted to manager of the biggest goddamn ranch in the country this year by a very sick old man and plans to do whatever necessary to ensure its continued success <3
too old for the wild child label, but still a Thoroughly Untamed Woman
WANTED PLOTS & CONNECTIONS !
if you want to plot pre-opening (pretty please w sugar on top??) you can find me at miss atomic bomb#3520 on discord !! im already obsessed w all your chars, please don’t mind me choking on my love in your comments
wild horses couldn’t tear me away / ride or die best friends. they fight frequently and occasionally pretend like they’re calling it quits on one another, but it’s never gonna happen. they’re in it for life
you knew what you were doing / babe’s first serious love and/or heartbreak, 10-15ish years ago.. and yet there’s still tension
by way of moonshine / drinking buddies, always lapsing into stories of the shit they’ve done
it’s babe, not baby / ward ranch hands with a crush on the hot lady in charge, hi hello
what’s it to you / rivals from the hawthorne family/ranch !! babe takes a very ‘i don’t start shit but i’ll be the one to finish it’ approach
your name flat against the roof of my mouth / friends with benefits! a few angles to consider: longstanding fwbs with feelings they simply will not discuss; we used to seriously date and now we just hook up; drinking buddies who always swear its never gonna happen again; we’d-be-in-hell-water-if-anyone-found-out
wear the brand on your upturned wrist / ward ranchers/cow bosses/hands etc that either got into serious shit and needed babe’s help to get out of, of vice versa
weed in the garden / anyone who wants to challenge babe’s authority on the ranch... vibrating eye emojis
like a glass bottle against the wall / a duo who used to get up to No Good together, back when they were younger and particularly wild - maybe shit went sideways or they just figured it was better they grow tf up. bonus points for messy romantic entanglement.
and all the other good stuff! exes, friends, enemies, found family, etc!

ABOUT ---
Marin Manrayar
Twenty-seven ( September 1st, 1994 | Virgo )
Owns and bakes at The Sweet Spot, an staple in Great Falls and her late grandmother’s pride and joy
Originally from Seattle, Washington. Marin spent nearly every summer with her sister’s at their Nani’s home in Great Falls, and she spent a few years as a teenager (after being essentially kicked out) here as well
She left Great Falls after graduating high school and went back to Seattle, until her Nani passed away and left The Sweet Spot, her home, and everything in between to Marin and Marin alone. That was about four years ago
She’s currently living downtown, and is roommates with Rebecca Cohen
BASICS ---
Born and raised in Seattle, the oldest of three girls. Marin grew up in a pretty strict home with parents who had high expectations for their oldest daughter, though she never met any of them. Their relationship has been pretty strained from day one.
She’s a pretty classic tale of “never living up to her potential” because she got in with the “bad kids”. Marin had a pretty bad rep for fights, drugs, theft, and just generally being a shit head as a teenager. #Angst
She was suspended plenty of times, and went to juvie twice. Any intervention from her parents only made things worse, before they finally gave up and sent her to live with her Nani half way through her junior year. It was essentially a ‘clean up your act because we’re tired of trying to do it for you’ moment -- And was the nail in the coffin for the last of Marin’s relationship with her parents
Spending a year and a half in Great Falls went just as one would expect: Horribly. Marin was still up to the same bullshit she’s always pulled, though now she’s living with her Nani who is infinitely more patient than Marin deserves.
She worked at the Sweet Spot after school and over the summer while living in Great Falls, where her grandma taught her the basics and helped inspire a love of baking. The two built a closer relationship during Marin’s time in Montana, proving to be one of the brighter spots of living in the middle of fucking nowhere.
Despite how close she was to her Nani, Marin ultimately decided to move back to Seattle after her graduation because she had no interest in living in a tiny Montana town
So she goes back to Seattle, gets up to her usual shit only now she’s a Legal Adult and works in the kitchen of a shitty restaurant to pay for her equally shitty apartment.
Fast forward four years and she’s got a few arrests under her belt, plenty of shitty exes, and is currently in a long term relationship with a man who’s engaged to someone else. She’s got no idea what she’s doing with her life, other than working dead end jobs and generally being messy.
All of that comes to an aggressive halt when she receives the news that her Nani has passed away, and in her will, she’s left The Sweet Spot and her entire estate to Marin. All of a sudden she’s a business owner and her life is all ??? because what the fuck, Nani.
Out of obligation (and plenty of guilt too, for not realizing just how sick her grandma was), Marin packs her shit up and moves to Great Falls. Though she doesn’t want to leave Seattle, it ends up being just what she needs: A chance to drop everything and start over. Nani believed in her, and clearly felt there was more to Marin than what others saw -- The least she can do is honor the woman by trying.
Given the fact that Marin has no fucking clue how to run a business and isn’t nearly as skilled as her grandma, the first year running the Sweet Spot and being back in Great Falls is a fucking shit show to say the least. Eventually, she manages to gather her bearings (with plenty of help), and business starts to flourish again.
Now, Marin bakes full time at The Sweet Spot and is living a relatively Chill life. She’s keeping out of trouble and focusing on herself, even if she’s not sure what that looks like in the long term.
She’s basically an old lady these days, and likes to keep to her friend group but is still decently social -- Especially since she (and her family) have history in town. Marin’s kind of an asshole but usually means well, and tries to keep out ~drama~ but loves to talk shit so she’s happy to hear the Hot Gossip.
Even though she’s not getting arrested and homewrecking much these days, she’ll still be the first one to start throwing hands if provoked unfortunately.
Some character inspo for Marin: Shauna Sadecki (Yellow Jackets), Bob Belcher (Bob’s Burgers), Donna Pinciotti (That 70s Show), and Fiona Gallagher (Shameless).
WANTED CONNECTIONS ---
Marin’s mentor and the manager of the Sweet Spot. This would be the one who basically helped keep her from drowning with the business, and was a dear friend of her grandma. The closest thing Marin’s got to a motherly figure, tbh
Obviously, anyone else who works at the bakery too
Old friends from when she lived in Great Falls as a teenager, and when she’d visit over the summer as a kid
Marin’s a commitment-phobe, so she probably wouldn’t have any serious relationships in the last few years, but definitely plenty of hook ups and friends with benefits and what not
People from Seattle that she used to get into Shit with, included her ex she ditched when she moved to Montana
Her younger sisters!!! Marin isn’t particularly close to them now, and they definitely have a Complicated relationship
Friends, enemies, literally anything !!!

So far we’ve been loving everyone’s responses to the group! We’re truly blown away by the amount of interest people have showed and every application we’ve gotten has been a complete joy to read through. We know everyone is having a blast coming up with their characters and backstories and we don’t want anyone to feel rushed as far as plotting or making connections goes. So we thought we’d make a little tag for people to introduce themselves and their characters and maybe get the ball rolling a little in advance! Use the tag #gf:talk and tell us the following:
OUT OF CHARACTER:
Name
Age
Pronouns
A fun fact about yourself
IN CHARACTER
Name
Age
Occupation
A little bit about them
You can also use this tag for throwing out some potential wanted connections you’d like to get started on, character arcs and plots you want to explore, character development or headcanons you may have, or even any edits or playlists you may have made. In all honesty, the sky is kind of the limit when it comes to the tag and we can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with.

hi all, I'm ann (she/her. 29. est). below the cut, you'll find info on Saraya.
NAME: Saraya LaCroix
AGE & DATE OF BIRTH: Thirty-eight; November 13, 1983.
HOMETOWN: Great Falls
TIME LIVING IN GREAT FALLS: Returned 5 years ago (moved to Maine for college)
NEIGHBORHOOD: East End
OCCUPATION: Artist/Illustrator
GENDER, PRONOUNS & SEXUALITY: Cisgender female, she/her, bisexual
DETAILS:
Saraya never knew her biological parents. As an infant, she was adopted by the LaCroix family. The adoption was closed and Saraya never felt inclined to know the people who’d given her up. She’d created a story of them in her mind – tragic but noble – and the idea that they could be less than that was not something she wanted to face in reality.
As a child, Raya was precocious. She enjoyed getting her hands dirty and was much more inclined to pursue a sport than her studies. School was always something of a struggle. She was clever, but was the quintessential class clown.
In middle school, she was diagnosed with dyslexia and suddenly, her school related struggles made sense.
She moved to Maine for college during which time she played soccer as a midfielder. Drawing had always been her outlet so majoring in art seemed like an easy choice.
It was during her college years that Raya met her husband. Ray was 24 when she got married, and for a few years everything seemed to be going well.
For a few years, the couple struggled with fertility issues. So, the birth of her son was something of a miracle. A year later, though, her marriage had fallen apart and Ray was returning to Great Falls with an infant in tow.
She works as an illustrator and is currently in the process of illustrating a children’s book. Her dream is to illustrate comic books, though painting will always be her medium of choice.
POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS:
childhood friends
folks she lost contact with when she moved to maine
college friends
ex husband
folks she’s been on blind dates with
best friend
fellow sports fan especially soccer
fellow parents
her son’s teacher
adopted sibling(s)
workout buddy
literally just about anything else

james thatcher ward iii
forty nine
rancher at and heir to ward ranch
thatch has classic eldest child syndrome. he has always been the one of this siblings with the most responsibilities and it was drilled into his head from an early age that his duty to his family comes first and foremost because it will all be worth it in the end. except, it really hasn’t been. it’s cost him an education he wanted, his marriage, and his relationship with his daughter. thatch’s midlife crisis is going strong and as his father’s health declines and his time as ruler of the kingdom draws nearer, he is wondering more and more if this is what he’s supposed to be doing with his life. the closest thing he has to freedom (at least in a mental, emotional sense) is the occasional business trip where he gets to disappear across state lines and become someone else for a few days. and as long as he keeps those two worlds as far apart as possible, he should be okay, right?

ex-wife - their relationship has been strained for years, and they probably haven’t spoken since his mother’s funeral. maybe she’s come back to town for one reason or another? maybe she’s just popping in to make thatch’s life harder. who knows?
daughter - another of thatcher’s many strained relationships. she’s in her early twenties and barely sees her dad beyond a visit every other christmas that feels more like an obligation to her than anything else. thatch isn’t a monster, but he never really figured out how to be a good father either. he loves his daughter but doesn’t know how to show it.
a childhood bestie - someone thatch would have grown up with
anyone working on the ranch - he’s kinda going to be your boss? ish? eventually.
rivals - anyone in his industry that he’s butted heads with in the past. maybe they were a smaller ranch owner and the wards bought their farm from underneath them or somethin gidk
~out of town friends~ - anyone he knows from outside of great falls coming to blow up his spot

when Taylor just talks about the world against her and everything it just really hits me so hard because I went through my own personal hell of that where everyone was gone and I felt so alone but I had my girlfriend and I’ve loved her since and wow yeah this feels so good

These stanzas are the most personal ones that touched me the most from this song, I just wanna say.
[My castle crumbled overnight
I brought a knife to a gunfight
They took the crown but it's alright
All the liars are calling me one
Nobody's heard from me for months
I'm doing better than I ever was]
I went through a lot of drama over the past year, my own castle crumbled, I got in over my head, and turned into the victim of a mess I never wanted to be in. I left people. I grew silent. But now I’m glowing.
//
[All the drama queens taking swings
All the jokers dressing up as kings
They fade to nothing when I look at him
And I know I make the same mistakes every time
Bridges burn, I never learn
At least I did one thing right, I did one thing right]
This one is so special because when she says she makes the same mistakes, I do too. I’m always afraid of getting close because I’ve always fallen apart but I did something right and now I’m in love. It’s been a full year of me and my gf and I never broke the bridge with her. We mended it.
