would be sexy of me to put up an about page and develop harley’s multiple verses and even have some rules on my blog but it’s just not realistic

[ironedboy]

always hard to find aesthetics i like for harley bc he’s rural but also high tech but also country boy but also a genius but also a tractor mechanic but also a robotics whiz but also wearing henleys and dusty jeans and steel toe work boots but also 

[ironedboy]

harley learning how to line dance in PE 😩

[ironedboy]

generally harley is a very Nice Boy, his neighbors all think he’s an angel cuz he’s been doing their yardwork for them since he was 12, his teachers love him cuz he participates in class and does a bunch of extracurriculars, he’s always polite to strangers bc that’s how he was brought up, but once u put one ( 1 ) other gremlin-type person in the room with him he goes full chaos, absolute snarky precocious asshole, teasing out the wazoo, nearly insufferable

❝ it’s a goddamn nightmare. ❞ bucky! vibey

I CARE A LOT STARTERS !

    “i’m sure you know better than most, sir.” it’s harley’s southern upbringing that tacks the ‘sir’ onto the end without thinking. hell, what else are you supposed to call a near stranger, when you know more about them than they know about you, and some of that stuff you know isn’t pretty? 

    it’s also harley’s southern upbringing that tamps down the urge to ask for a closer look at that metal arm. feat of engineering or not, it’s still attached to somebody -- his mama didn’t didn’t leave any room in the house for rubbernecking or rudeness. “i ain’t got a whole lot of experience with nightmares but i got a good pair of ears and a couple of cokes in the fridge that are all yours if you want ‘em.”

some of my favorite rural typography / hand lettering examples ive collected over the past couple years

[ironedboy]

harley is king of accidentally fucking his hands up via work. little burn marks and cuts and bruises, broke a finger once or twice, nails are absolute garbage, always smell like grease and metal, calloused as hell

ac’s broken in my apartment but it worked out okay because i’d just planted some seeds last tuesday and i’ve been gone since wednesday so leaving them inside by the window in an 80 degree apartment was basically making my own little greenhouse for them
