#Wild Frontier

[aint-no-me-if-there-aint-no-youu]

True to the outlaw this cologne was inspired by, this scent is wild and free, musky and masculine, capturing the spirit of the Wild West and the lawless frontier.

The scent starts off with green, woody top notes of fir and pine, eliciting the feel of untamed forests and pastures, bolstered by a commanding blend of sandalwood, moss, and black musk.

Heart notes of brandy-infused tobacco leaves aged in sweet honey and amaretto sweetens and deepens the scent, finished off with base notes of soft leather and amber, black pepper, oak moss absolute, and smoked balsam.

ALAMO THEORIES

sighs really loud okay next alamo theory, one of the MOST controversial if i had to say so myself:

✨davy crockett’s death ✨

so, we’ve all heard the story of the man, the myth, the legend..literally…but one of the most controversial topics of the alamo i think i’ve ever heard is how crockett died.

crockett died along with the rest of the alamo defenders in the early hours of march 6th, 1836. it was said that a few “prisoners” such as travis and bowie’s slav3s—ben and joe—and any women and children were taken into safety. santa anna personally had joe point out each defenders body, and ended up swording through travis’ chest to “make sure he was dead.” besides that, crockett was found surrounded by 16 enemy c0rps3s.

it was said crockett had gone down and died fighting, using his rifle like a club after running out of ammunition. this is what most people tended to believe: crockett had simply perished fighting for the state of texas like he had meant to.

but, a groundbreaking discovery had been made later on: a mexican officer by the name of “De la Peña’s” personal diary had been found, and this was a huge part of history for these historians, writers, and more professions. after translating the diary, it was found that de la peña had written down in quite detail on exactly how he believed crockett died.

de la peña stated that crockett was found with a few other defenders, and the small group of texians left surrendered to santa anna and his men. though, this did not seem to please santa anna enough. he ordered them to he executed on the spot, and so it was.

while crockett has always been seen as killed curing fighting in all the movies, the 2004 version of the alamo actually recorded BOTH version, and ended up going with the controversial take—of course, that being crockett’s execution, billy bob thornton playing crockett himself.

while even this controversial take is iffy on it’s own, there’s even MORE stories branching off this singular theory, for example:

crockett had cried when brought forth to santa anna, he had actually lunged at santa anna before being killed on the spot, etc.

the theories could go on forever, is what i mean.

my own take on this? i think either could be real, but researchers and historians later claimed that de la peña’s diary seemed to be pretty controversial, and his claim wasn’t exactly true or accurate. i believe the most accurate situation would’ve been crockett dying fighting on his own, my probing evidence being the fact his knife was lodged on one of the c0rps3s he was surrounded by.

so, how did crockett really die then? we might never actually know. alamoment out 🫡

Dust was everywhere. So much so, it contaminated the water, causing cholera to run rampant. It was said if a person came down with cholera at 8am, they'd be dead by noon...

even more job ideas for your western/cowboy oc that are not outlaws, bounty hunters, or sheriffs

wanted poster sketch artist - try your darnedest, some of the descriptions folks will give you will be really... something

owner of a small inn/old trading post in the middle of nowhere - days are slow, but ever so often you get travelers stopping by to rest or replenish their things

stablehand for a traveling wild west show like "Buffalo Bill's" - working with performers is tough (they always think they're the main character ugh), you prefer the company of animals and enjoy watching shows from behind-the-scenes

a small town's local barber... and dentist... and surgeon...

saloon piano player - inebriated patrons amuse and annoy you

snake oil salesperson - do you brew your own magic juice or are you just a pawn in a larger business?

sunday school "teacher" - you were not quite educated yourself, but you were the only able-bodied adult in town without kids or family, so you got assigned daycare duty

THE ALAMO (2004)

———

if i’m speaking from my point of view: please research on davy crockett. i promise you he’s actually a VERY interesting guy beyond the “davy crockett: king of the wild frontier” we all know him as.

i’ve successfully read up a few books on him AND been to the crockett tavern museum where i learned so, so much on crockett himself. i’ve definitely never seen another person or historical figure like him—it’s so packed with info he must’ve been busy almost every moment in his life.

i hope to possibly read up on his kids at some point too, if anything interesting happened to them. but to those of you out there who just know the name: i PROMISE it’s worth it if you just do a little searching on him!

Wyll WIP

Been procrastinating coloring it because I feel like my rendering skills are not good enough yet 😭.

Was tempted to just leave it as linework, but I'll never learn to color if I don't practice.
