#leaving Montana

[jstor]

Here's another great Open Access book on JSTOR for y'all:

The Queer Fantasies of the American Family Sitcom by the admirably named Tison Pugh. We can't decide whether we're more excited about the Brady Bunch or Hannah Montana!

updated Montana ref... again ...

some info's again

the pilot design is for when she just arrives on Jorvik until she starts riding (aka she has the fit for a week maybe, still wanted to include it because it slays)

her nails are actually a tad bit longer in the pilot design

the three main outfits (pre-/ post- DC and current) are over the span of two years

she's 18 when she comes to Jorvik and currently 20, almost 21 years old

her and Justin have an 8 month age gap (yes I have to correct his age from 20 to 21 on his ref shhhh)

Gov: I remember my first Northwest meeting, though back then it was the Northwest Territory and was Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The Northwest: ...

Montana: Idaho is Ohio

Idaho: why do I have to be Ohio?!

Washington: I think that would make me Michigan, and honestly I'm okay with that.

Oregon: Can I be Minnesota?

Alaska: I'm Minnesota, you're Wisconsin on a good day.

Oregon: Least it's not Indiana.

Wyoming: as Indiana is the only option left... hey

Washington: No, Illinois is all that's left.

Montana: how many people are in Illinois?

Gov: 13 million.

Montana: Damnit.

Lillys Owl 2

The owl that Lilly flushed out from the other angle I was able to get to. It was watching Lilly as she went trotting by. I could always tell which direction Lilly was coming from because the owl would always get a bead on her as she came in.

Why have I only just realised today the "you know, I know" quote is featured in multiple songs : serendipity, like crazy, people pt 2. Do you think this is a coincidence or does it have a deeper meaning ? PS. Keep up the nice blog! It's nice to see someone talk about their bond in a mature en respectful way and actually based on facts which they wanted to share with us.

Hi anon! I’ll admit that I’m not very good at lyrics analysis, so please bear with me.

Yes, “you know, I know”—or some variation of that phrase—appears in Serendipity, Like Crazy, and People pt 2. And of course we first heard it in a yoonmin context during the March 2016 live celebrating Yoongi’s birthday.

If it was just a matter of Yoongi using the phrase, that would be one thing. Yoongi likes to use interconnected lyrics in his songs. For instance, People pt 2 borrows phrases from eight, Savage Love, Outro: Tear, and Fake Love. There’s a great analysis here. The way his work connects is really amazing.

I think the real wildcards are Serendipity (written by Namjoon and others), and Like Crazy (written by Jimin and others). We have ten years worth of songs, but all of the “you know, I know” phrases connect to Yoongi and/or Jimin? That would be an incredible coincidence if it wasn’t purposeful.

So…there are really only three options:

1. The use and reuse of that phrase is purposeful and has meaning

2. It’s a statistically incredible coincidence

3. The use and reuse of that phrase is purposeful but has no meaning

I think we can eliminate option 3. We know how thoughtful both Yoongi and Jimin (and all of the members!) are in regards to their music. It’s hard to imagine them going to the effort of including this phrase just for the hell of it.

That leaves us with two other options. From a purely objective/statistical point of view, I think option 1 wins.

But deciding if it is purposeful or not is only half the battle. What does it mean?!

I think we can go back to the first time the phrase is used for help with this. In the live, Yoongi asked each person to say a short message to him for his birthday. Hobi went first and said thank you. Jimin went second and shyly said “you know.” Yoongi seemed to immediately understand him and quickly said “I know” before moving on to Tae.

I think the meaning is that these two have a true understanding of each other. And there are things that they can’t say in front of us, that they don’t need to say because they both already have that deep understanding.

I’m not sure if any of that helps or is even interesting. 😂 But those are my thoughts.

Thanks for the kind words, by the way!

Here’s a hug:

I might be moving to Montana, WHAT DO I DO?!

[sso-montana]

A trembling hand is hovering above the glowing mark on her chest, his eyes burning from the intensity with that it shines. Crossing the last few centimeters his palm covers it completely, the aggressiv light reduced to a glowing frame around his skin. The magic emitting from it burning, pulsating.

Almost identical to a body's warmth.

Almost identical to a heartbeat.

The crystal beneath his palm is smooth, the surface a lighter pink than her mark.

Almost identical to the feeling of her skin.

Almost identical to her skin tone.

A thought crosses his mind, one that if it weren't for the obscurity of the situation would've made Justin laugh, something Montana would call her 'bad influence' despite laughing at it herself.

'Opalheart. What a cruel joke'

ok for the au thing !! i got Western AU and Dark AU !!

Thank you for the ask! I got distracted talking to my partner!

Anyway a bunch of this is yoinked from a book series I never finished due to it being a bit too politically conservative for my tastes (specifically the book Nowhere to Run) and I also spent far too much time browsing Wikipedia for locations. Not sure if this is what is meant by "dark AU" but it's late at night so

TW for some mild gore and death

Carbon County (MT; there's also one in Wyoming) game warden Jack Kelly was reassigned to temporarily work in Granite County, MT and he's finally almost due to go back to his normal post in Red Lodge. He'd left it in good hands--the Stillwater County game warden (Finch) and county sheriff (Charlie) have most of his duties covered and give him near-daily updates. But he'd rather be back in Red Lodge, where he knows most of the people and their habits and can use his friendship with Katherine, the editor-in-chief of the local newspaper, as an excuse to stop by the office and flirt with one of the staff writers.

However! The week before he's supposed to leave, he starts getting reports of disappearances and campsites being attacked and mysteriously murdered wildlife in Lolo National Forest, so he very reluctantly goes in to investigate. He has a penchant for getting caught up in far more murder mysteries than any self-respecting game warden should, so he's resigned himself to dealing with this nonsense yet again. On the other hand, despite the looming threat of who (or what) ever's behind all this, it is kind of nice to be out camping in the woods.

Jack had made plans with Sean Conlon, the game warden from the neighboring county, to separately make their way through the national forest (both on horseback) and meet somewhere in the middle, with the goal of covering more ground and hopefully finding more information about whatever's going on. But he's struggling to get a hold of Sean, so he resigns himself to investigating alone--he hasn't run into anyone so far--even though part of him knows he should turn back.

The day he decides to turn around, he finally finds Sean, accompanied by a backpacker with a mischievous smile who won't give his real name.

"I've been looking for you everywhere," Sean says. "We have murders to prevent."

"I've been helping," the backpacker says. "We have murders to prevent."

Jack is skeptical of the backpacker, but he's annoyingly charming and Sean seems to trust him, so what else is he supposed to do? They start investigating together, and the backpacker, who still won't give them a name beyond "Racer" and won't say where he's from beyond the UP ("What's that? The Union Pacific?" it's the Upper Peninsula of Michigan but Jack and Sean haven't paid enough attention to Michigan to realize that), brings them to a campsite, where they find a whole bunch of dead elk and also the bodies of a couple of the people who have gone missing. There aren't a ton of clues, but it's the first new information they've gotten the whole time, so they're feeling a little better about the whole thing. Being game wardens, they're used to seeing dead animals, but the decomposing human bodies are a little (a lot) unsettling.

The problem is, when they try to signal the local authorities with the location of the campsite, their radios keep running into technical difficulties. Racer seems unbothered by the whole thing, weirdly, but they decide to note the coordinates as best they can, keep going, and see if they can find anything else.

The thing is, Jack and Sean have been feeling the effects of all this time outside--they're getting sunburnt, they have scrapes everywhere, and they're definitely going to need a shower when they get back. After they find the campsite, they start to notice that Racer is as pale and clean and un-scratched as he was when they first met. And now that they think of it, they haven't seen him eat or drink anything the whole time he's been traveling with them...

And now they're in the middle of nowhere together, with malfunctioning communication gear, and it's been a week since they entered the national forest, and they haven't encountered any other living humans during that time.
