the annoying thing about getting back to horse riding at the ripe old age of almost 40 is that, when you fall off, you don't immediately recover like you did when you were 15 😆

(i am sore all over but it's worth it. look at this baby angel who accidentally bucked me off!)

I am sitting on a back of a dark seal brown horse with a white blaze, I am leaning back slightly and laughing with my eyes closed (pre-disaster lol). It's a beautiful day with blue skies and we're walking on a beach.

I AM WHATEVER THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF OKAY IS RIGHT NOW NOBODY TOUCH ME

"I was really nicely reminded, I'm part of a community of people who've played this role before," Wolfe said, adding that he's longtime friends with Dónal Finn, who led Hadestown in London's West End. "When I wasn't supposed to tell anyone I was playing Orpheus, I did tell him. He and I had this amazing chat about it in a really crowded pub for all of five minutes, but it was incredibly special."

Jack Wolfe's Instagram story containing two black and white images of him and Dónal Finn in previously mentioned crowded pub. They're half embracing and smiling at each other.

our party is currently on a ship and my slightly vain rogue bard just stole a bucket of fresh water to wash her hair. i literally had to roll for stealth to see if she got away with it (she did hehehe) 🥰

but hey. looks are IMPORTANT to her.

digital painting of a pink tiefling, she has golden eyes, pink skin, white hair and eyebrows, two sets of dark purple horns - one small on her forehead and second larger pair curved back over her ear. she is wearing a crisp white shirt with flower embroidery and around her neck is a green scarf and goggles.

2. Endymion by Dan Simmons
(Hyperion Cantos #3)

this was fantastic if i ignore the weird "i am a grown man tasked with protecting this child but apparently in the future we'll be lovers and i am fine with that" shit 🫠🫠 but legit otherwise it was great 😭

book cover of Endymion by Dan Simmons
there's a raft on a river with 4 figures on it all with their backs to reader: a tall man with his shirt off polling the raft, a blue skinned man wearing yellow clothes sitting down, a very tall humanoid figure with spikes all over their body, and a little girl sitting down with her legs crossed
