R. C. / Chapter One
warnings: blurb, profanity, shouting, mentions of fighting
relationship: short tempered!rafe x maybank!reader
a/n: buzzcut!rafe with season one start off, this was kinda rushed.
Chapter One:
You were waiting for JJ to get home—who was your brother. You hadn't been feeling well so you skipped out on the drive-in-movie, not knowing that Rafe and Topper were going to beat the shit out of JJ and Pope.
You and the Pouges had just gotten back for Barbados, so did you really need this? No. But you got it.
JJ hisses out as you rub alcohol wipes over the gash over his eyebrow "Damn, y/n careful.. it hurts."
You roll your eyes, retorting jokingly "Toughen up, buttercup." After you finished patching up JJ, you went to lay on bed, which was just another sleepless night, dreading to get up and go work for Cameron's, more specifically, Rafe. You may hate everything about him but, there's good money from being his assistant, so you don't tell JJ about your mysterious job.
None of the Pouges know, besides Sarah, and that's because you had been working for them before the family shit went down, Ward faking his death and going to Barbados, Rafe drowning Sarah—so basically before Rafe started acting on his impulsive thoughts.
* * *
You trudge along your way to Tanneyhill that morning, still clueless about who or what hurt JJ.
When you arrive, Rafe is waiting in his truck for you, you start feeling uneasy as he speaks "Ay, Maybank. In the truck."
"Oh, see I'm supposed to be inside with Rose today- so I cant-" you murmur under your breath, Rafe giving you a scoff "Didn't ask, get in the damn truck, y/n. M'going to the country club to visit Top and Kelce, so get in. Your going to be our water girl."
You let out a small huff, wanting to protest—but not wanting to risk being fired because of attitude, so you get in the truck.
"Good, didn't have to drag your ass in the truck." Rafe nods approvingly, looking at your outfit; loose fitting shorts and a baggy shirt with worn through holes.
You tap your finger impatiently, letting out a small hiss as when truck breaks down, causing the both of you to have to pull over. Immediately you get out the car, tapping the hood of the car
Luckily your dad taught you how to fix a car before ran of or straight up like the Spanish, just "bon voyage" as JJ put it.
"You know how to work on a car?" Rafe asked, surprised that you knew how to work on a car.
You scoff softly "I'm not incapable, you know! And when's the last time you changed the oil?" You look at him in disbelief as he shrugs and replies with "Rose told me she would take it to a shop to change the oil, guess she never did."
You put the prod back down in the car after you check the oil levels, becoming extremely frustrated, due to the heat and his nonchalant attitude during the situation "You stupid bitch!"
Rafe growls in annoyance, pushing you against the car, "Now you listen to me, Maybank, I'm not fucking up with this attitude you got going on right now, it is hot and I'm not in the mood for one of your tantrums. I'm the boss here, do you understand?" He glares at you when you don't respond.
"Do you understand?!" He shouts in your face, making you flinch backwards, "Yes! Okay- damn I understand!" You whisper back throw breaths, in a slight state of shook, due to the fact he just screamed in your face.
"Now M'gonna go call Top, stay right there. Do not go anywhere, understand me?" Rafe growls out at you. You nod as he walks to the trucks drivers seat to call Topper.
Toppers name flashes on Rafe's screen, Topper murmuring, out of breath from his workout "Yo, dude! Where are you?"
Rafe huffs "Well, truck broke down and y/n is bitching, I'll have to come over another day." Topper let out a grunt "Alright, but I won't be here next week, I'm going on vacation, so week after that?"
"Yeah, sure whatever." Rafe growls impatiently, hanging up walking over to were your supposedly standing—but when he gets there your gone. "That little fucker." Rafe grits his teeth, grinding them together.

ive always wanted to be passed between two people who take turns force femming / mascing me.l walking around the house with teary eyes in a short dress and makeup and uncomfortable heels i dont quite know how to use until my other owner comes home and rips the dress off me, forces me to my knees, and tells me that their boy needs to put his mouth to work. one of them taunting me with how badly i want to fuck something like im a silly little boy going thru puberty who cant help but stick their pathetic dick in everything that moves, while the other mocks me for how much i want to be fucked, telling me i was a good girl made to take it from them. sometimes they could work together to take control of me, grab my face and force me to look at them and whisper gently to me that ill always be whatever they want me to be.
obsessed with this i would also get whiplash from the 180s... this is hottt though u got no gender just an object for your dommes to dress up

i guess i have to say it a million times since people insist on being dense: gale is just as much of a victim as the other companions. this isn't the trauma olympics. everyone has been through shit and deserves healing and redemption.
gale is not the self entitled, manipulative abuser people are painting him as. he's a lot of things, but nothing so heinous. he was groomed by a goddess who has a history of preying on wizards that threaten her power, and as a result, gale's ambition and faith was what drove him to discover the netherese orb. what he did was for mystra - in his mind, it was to prove his love by restoring her missing power - and by extension for the betterment of mortals. his actions were never malicious or selfish, in fact he puts himself so low on the priority list it's pretty much non existent. he was never going to use that power to usurp her, but mystra definitely saw it like that, which is why she didn't hesitate to present suicide as his only solution. he never crossed her personal boundaries in the way people are twisting it, he only wanted to cross the boundaries she put on wizards and their power.
people who insist he's all of these things and more clearly only spoke to him once or lack the reading comprehension to see past how much of an unreliable narrator he is. i can understand first impressions might put some people off, but you can say the same about the other companion introductions. i don't like comparing but since people insist on doing it; gale is one of the easiest companions to get along with just by being a good person, yet his honesty and selflessness makes people think he's secretly evil? while the companions with the capacity to be evil don't even try to hide it? how are people being so backwards about this? it's genuinely baffling and tiring to see people continuously spit out incorrect takes all too confidently.
no one is forcing anyone to like him, but it's unfair to completely mischaracterize him because you refuse to learn critical thinking. i promise using your brain is not as scary as it seems, or you can just. not talk about things you don't understand.

I bought a drop spindle at an SCA garage sale a while ago, and today found a bunch of blue/green roving at a thrift shop (8 ounces!!) and decided to try spinning it up. I found your intro post and it says batts are better for beginners than roving. Can I turn one into another? Is it worth it to try?
That's awesome !
And yes, you most certainly can turn a roving into a batt (using a blending board) and also a batt into a roving (using a hackle). Blending boards are niche tools though, and for the cost of buying one blending board, you could buy several batts.
You can make blending boards, though.
If you get carding cloth--70 or 90 TPI (teeth per inch) are good all-arounders--and staple it to a wooden board of slightly larger dimensions, then you've got yourself a blending board for usually about 1/4 - 1/2 the price of just buying a new one. (My blending board was about $100 USD, to give you an idea of the general price. They're one of the more affordable fiber processing tools)
You can also just do away with the carding cloth entirely, and make something which is similar to a blending board, with the key differences being that's its both quite a bit worse and free (or very cheap). Either drive a bunch of finishing nails through a wooden board (you want about 1/2 inch or a centimeter of the nail tip exposed on the other side, in an ideal world) as close together as you can, or else tape several pieces of robust cardboard together and drive the nails through that. That's what I did (the cardboard version specifically--actually, found some pictures !) early on in my spinning career when I wanted to blend colors. Disclaimer: I didn't ever actually attempt to pull the fiber off as batts; this was like a 2x4 inch surface and they would have been pitifully small. But I did pull them off as rolags which spun up just fine, and which are also a better beginner fiber prep than roving is.
As to whether or not its worth bothering with any of that... no, not really. To be extremely honest, I'm not positive that 'beginners first rolag made on makeshift nail board' would actually be easier to spin than roving in any capacity (fiber processing and preparation is as much of a skill as spinning is, and like I said the nail board is notably worse at what it is attempting to do than a blending board is, although it does still do it), so.... if you want my firm advice: buy a batt. if you can't buy a batt, give the roving a try as is. if the roving isn't going well, really only then is it worth attempting the stuff I just described.
