ch. 22 ⤍ PICK ME

you started your stream with your usual energetic greeting, glancing at the chat as it started to flood in with messages. you leaned back in your chair, smiling, ready to dive into the updates.

"so earlier today, i filmed this video with leeseo and wonyoung," you began, trying not to laugh too hard at the memory. "first of all, never let wonyoung behind the wheel—she scares me. she couldn't keep her hands on the wheel because she freaked out every time the car moved even a little. now, leeseo? that kid is wild. for some reason, she's actually good at driving." you paused for effect. "like, way too good for her age."

user1 idk who even let wonyoung behind the wheel. she's literally scared of driving.

you nodded, laughing softly. "i was wondering the same damn thing," you replied, shaking your head.

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ when do i get to drive you? 😏

you raised an eyebrow at the comment. "you driving? should i be scared?" you teased.

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ of course not. i'm a great driver!

"i don't know... should i let zuha drive me around?" you asked your chat, knowing exactly how they'd react.

user2 hell no

user3 run yn

user4 ur def not making it out of that one

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ i love being a mod. there's so much power here.

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ i'm banning everybody who said i can't drive!

you couldn't help but laugh at her response. "you can't just ban my whole chat, zuha!"

reinyourheart wait how is kazuha a mod b4 me? i've known u longer

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ 🤷🏻‍♀️ i'm just good like that.

🗡️_yujin_an damn imagine not being a mod

reinyourheart even yujin

reinyourheart she prob doesn't even use it

🗡️_yujin_an actually 🤓☝️ i use my mod powers all the time to run polls. i'm also an og y/n sub so i got mod

reinyourheart y/n plz mod me since apparently you're just giving mod to anybody these days

"i don't trust you enough to give you those privileges."

reinyourheart but u trust yujin???

"well, not really, but she's our leader," you joked.

reinyourheart banning u from my chat now

"that's fine, i never watch your streams anyways," you quipped, earning a playful gasp from your chat.

reinyourheart 😮 fake

"i'm joking. please don't actually ban me," you said, breaking into laughter. as your giggles faded, your eyes caught an interesting question in the chat.

user1 what type of person do u want to date?

the question made you pause for a moment. "i've actually been thinking about this a lot recently," you admitted.

you leaned forward, ready to dive into your answer. "so, first of all, i like someone with a cool and relaxed personality, but they also need to be bright enough to make me laugh—even with the corniest jokes." as you said this, your thoughts drifted toward someone in particular.

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ i feel like i can satisfy those requirements

you chuckled softly but kept going. "i also want to date a morning person, so they can help me fix my sleep schedule."

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ i hate sleeping in

"i really hope they can speak japanese too, 'cause i wanna visit japan so badly."

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ me

you grinned, ignoring her comments for now. "another odd requirement—i want them to be good at ballet. it's a talent i just really admire."

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ me 🙋🏻‍♀️

"oh, and if they look like bae suzy, that's a huge bonus," you added with a nostalgic smile. "she was my ideal type when i was younger."

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ pick me! choose mee!

"and another weird one—they need to randomly start stretching or doing squats whenever they feel like it. bonus points if they have abs. that's just..." you sighed dramatically. "so hot."

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ i literally fit all the requirements

you finally broke, laughing as you read her string of comments. "i don't know if anybody can really line up to all these standards," you shrugged playfully.

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ am i even here rn 😞

"y'all, if you know someone who meets all these standards, let me know," you told your chat, laughing at how many people were either playing along or just laughing at the interaction.

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ chat suggest me #ynxzuha

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ imma start banning ppl that type any other name

"you can't threaten my chat like that, zuha," you chuckled, reading her messages aloud.

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ chat she noticed me

you shook your head, smiling. "but since you're here, what do you think of all these suggestions?"

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ idk but i think that kazuha girl is pretty cool. i think u wld like her

you pursed your lips in thought. "hmm... i don't really know. i'll have to think about that one."

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ trust

"i guess i'll trust you," you said, playing along. "but what are you doing right now? you should join me."

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ i cant im filming leniverse rn

you gasped. "what do you mean? stop watching me and go film!" you teased, mock-scolding her.

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ we good. they're not rdy yet

"alright, just don't get into trouble because of me."

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ talking to u is more important tho :/

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ nobody tell chaewon i said that

"there's a reason i act the way i do—it's because she says stuff like this," you said with an exaggerated sigh.

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ i miss u lets hang out soon

"we literally hung out yesterday," you reminded her, laughing.

user5 u did?

user6 i miss when y/n updated us

you nodded, leaning into the camera. "yeah, because we filmed the collab!" you added, catching yourself before revealing too much. "when will that be posted, zuha?"

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ shld be posted next week

"okay, tell your team to edit me well," you said with a grin.

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ i will.

🗡️k_a_z_u_h_a__ i hv to film now talk l8r

"bye, zuha!" you waved dramatically, just as you got a perfectly timed message from yujin that she was almost ready.

"so, today we'll be playing games with yujin, who should be here soon," you announced to your chat. no sooner had you said it, you heard the familiar ping, signaling that yujin had joined the call.

"y/n, why didn't you warn me?" yujin exclaimed, her voice full of exasperation.

you blinked. "what do you mean?"

"leeseo just showed me what you all did in the video today."

"oh, that! yeah, she's crazy with it," you laughed, remembering the madness.

"she was all like, 'you wanna see what i learned?' and i'm thinking, sure, why not—'cause i'm actually curious about what y'all filmed. next thing i know, she reverses fast and does a freaking j-turn. i've never been so scared in my life."

"she did it first try, too. i was just sitting there, in shock."

"i just wish i had talked to wonyoung first," yujin muttered.

"i'm so glad you're the driver in the group. no way we'd be alive if wonyoung was behind the wheel."

"oh, absolutely," yujin agreed quickly. you both laughed before getting connected to the game, ready for the chaos that would follow.

zuhasgf connected

as soon as yujin's character appeared in the game lobby, you rolled your eyes, and immediately opened the menu, kicking her out without hesitation.

"alright, i'm in the game," she announced, unaware of what you'd just done.

"huh? y/n, did you just kick me out?" yujin's voice sounded confused.

you tried to act innocent. "wait, why'd you disconnect?"

yujin groaned, realizing. "you literally just kicked me."

"i think you need a new username," you replied.

"i can't get back in—did you ban me?" yujin chuckled.

"don't blame me because you can't get in the game," you said.

zuhasgf connected.

you immediately kicked her out again, this time banning her completely.

"y/n!" yujin yelled in disbelief.

"i told you to make a new username. i'm not accepting this one," you said firmly.

"just unban me!" yujin demanded, still laughing.

"are you trying to join with the same character?" you asked.

"yeah, did you unban me?"

"...of course," you lied smoothly.

once yujin finally decides to change her name back to normal, you two load into the game, the screen fades in, revealing your pirates standing confidently on a dock, the vast ocean stretching behind them, with a rugged ship rocking gently in the harbor.

"i don't have a shovel, so you're gonna have to do all the digging," yujin lazily announced.

"yujin, if you don't put some type of work in, i might actually fight you," you shot back.

you walk off in the opposite direction when you spot something off in the distance. "there's a ship here," you inform yujin.

she started her pirate roleplay. "arghh! i'm on my way!" yujin replied in a raspy pirate accent, rushing toward the ship with exaggerated enthusiasm.

suddenly, your screen started shaking violently. "what was that?" you muttered, trying to steady your view.

on the other end, you could hear yujin losing her mind, screaming incoherently. there were no actual words, just pure panic as she mashed buttons in a futile attempt to do... something.

while yujin flailed, you spotted an ocean crawler emerging from the sand. remaining calm, you casually pulled out your gun and shot it. meanwhile, yujin continued screaming in terror about something you couldn't even see.

then, out of nowhere, yujin set off an explosion—right next to you. the entire screen flashed red as both you and the surrounding enemies were blasted back.

"oh my god, yujin! what the fuck!" you yelled, your health bar dangerously low as you quickly ate some food to recover.

"you're welcome!" yujin chirped, completely ignoring the fact that she had almost killed you along with the monsters.

the battle ended, and you both wandered around the island, eventually stumbling upon a mysterious shipwreck. a spectral pirate appeared out of thin air, launching into an overly dramatic speech about ancient pirate lore.

"this is actually the longest speech i've ever heard. argh," yujin groaned.

you decided to pull out a ukelele from your inventory. yujin, never one to be outdone, joined in with her singing about finding the pirate captain, her voice cracking from the strain of trying to stay in character.

later, while you were still outside playing music, yujin's shrill voice pierced the calm.

"three ghost ships!" she shouted.

"let's go. we must go on an adventure!" you replied, dramatically diving into the water, heading for the ghost ship, determination in your heart.

however, as you swam, the tide came in, forcefully pushing your character back. you struggled against the current, while yujin, oblivious, had already made it onto your ship and was sailing away.

"yujin! get your ass back here!" you screamed, frantically swimming after the ship. "i'm literally sinking!"

after what felt like an eternity, yujin finally circled back for you. gasping for breath, you managed to pull yourself up onto the deck.

relieved to be back on board, you stood at the front of the ship, surveying the ocean ahead. you felt the wind in your face, the waves crashing against the hull. surely, yujin could be trusted to steer the ship... right?

but then you noticed something alarming. "yujin... we're gonna crash into this rock!" you said, your voice tense.

"anchor!" yujin screamed, but it was far too late. the ship slammed into the rock.

"we're gonna die on this ship. not even from the battles, it'll be from your terrible driving," you groaned.

"naww, we're good," yujin said confidently, somehow managing to reverse the ship and sail around the obstacle, acting like nothing had happened.

you decided to climb up to the ship's bowsprit, balancing precariously on the beam as the ship cut through the waves. "is standing up here a good idea?" you asked, already knowing the answer.

"argh! of course it is!" yujin replied without hesitation.

"is playing music as we go into battle a bad idea?" she asked, joining you upfront with her accordian, strumming an out-of-tune melody.

you pulled out your ukulele from the inventory, matching her energy, and for a moment, it was peaceful—just two pirates making music.

then, without warning, the water around you started to churn. from the depths of the ocean, a massive kraken emerged, its tentacles towering above your ship.

both you and yujin screamed in unison as chaos ensued. you were flung into the water but somehow kept playing your ukulele, refusing to let the music die.

"it's sucking us in!" yujin shouted, her voice on the verge of panic. "load the cannons! we gotta fight this off!"

"can we even fight this thing?" you asked through fits of laughter, doubting your chances.

you quickly switched to the cannonballs, aiming at the monstrous tentacles, firing off shots as fast as you could. you felt like you were making progress, but then you noticed the ship was being dragged deeper into the abyss.

your screen flickered and went dark with a red outline. "what is even happening?" you groaned as your character faded into the ghostly realm.

as a spirit, you wandered aimlessly, spotting another figure. thinking it was yujin, you approached, only to realize it was a random player—a man who's character gave you a casual nod.

"later, dude," he said, disappearing into the void.

you eventually respawned back with yujin, both of you standing on the remains of your ship, now just floating debris in the ocean.

"well, that was a great sea of thieves adventure. we lost everything," yujin said, pulling out her accordion.

you pulled out your ukulele, shaking your head but smiling. "yeah, it was great."

"the fucking kraken..." yujin muttered.

"literally right before the pirate ship, too," you said.

"literally the most random shit," she added, laughing.

"crazy," you agreed, both of you still basking in the aftermath of the chaos.

"anyway, i guess we have to end here," yujin said, the energy winding down.

"yeah, we do," you agreed, starting the stream wrap-up.

you exited the call with yujin, turning your attention to chat. "alright, chat, it's about that time," you said, leaning back in your chair with a relaxed smile. "i'll be live tomorrow for some more games, maybe with a few friends, but i haven't locked anything in yet."

you glanced at the chat as messages rolled in, then continued. "also, keep an eye out—our channel's dropping a new video soon, so make sure to check that out when it's up. but yeah, that's all for today!"

you gave a casual wave. "thanks for hanging out, and i'll see you next time." with a final smile, you ended the stream.

Playthrough Updates #4

(is it actually #4? I honestly don't know lmao let's say it is)

🌊Silkina the Waveservant Bard

Silkina has gotten to the Underdark safely and is currently on her way to visit the mushies! Nothing super exciting has happend that's worth mentioning, but I did finally do a photoshoot with her and Wyll which was very fun. I also downladed a pirate outfits mod and so she has a few new outfits and accessories that are ocean themed! I also changed her outfit to the wavemother dress but an alt version of it. I wish it didn't clip weirdly at the arm pits, but what can ya do?

✨Solenia the Drow Cleric of Elistraee

Solenia and Silkina are in the exact same spot lol Well, Solenia is a little further along and at Grymforge!

The biggest change is that I decided to have fun with Solenia's hair lmao I have a cool anime-ish, Final Fantasy-esque hair mod that had this spiky pontail situation and I really wanted to use it for someone. Solenia felt like a good choice lmao She's still not exactly romancing anyone atm but she'll probably go for Halsin depending on how that all goes!

She's very adamant about saving the slaves in the Underdark and helping the gnomes and it's my first time really doing that, so woo! Oh she also saved Bolen which was a first for me lmao Usually Efenity just blows up the whole area and steals the stuff that was in his bag 🥲

🌩️Efenity the Storm Sorcerer

Changed her hair and outfit YET. AGAIN. I just have to accept that I will never not change it every couple of days lmaooo

Anyway, she's the furthest along out of everyone because she's my comfort Tav and I get lost in her playthroughs 🥲yes the playthroughs with my Evil Tav being the worst person alive are somehow my comfort playthroughs... I don't get it either. Plus, I kinda follow a "routine" with her since I have a storyline she goes through, so it's familiar after doing it 6 times and still never getting past the final fight.

She has gone through the gauntlet of Shar, the whole shadow cursed lands, fought and defeated Yurgir and his minions, and I left off with her and Astarion getting the news about his scars from Raphael.

I love this conversation because it's one of the first moments Efenity's perspective on Astarion's situation can be directly acted out/spoken. She's always like "SO... there's a way to become a living vampire. Jot that down cause we are coming back to that. Cazedor is a POS and we gon' take him down."

🍃Enyana the Dryad (wood elf Druid)

Enyana's a little behind the others, but she JUST got to the Underdark! And I mean JUST got there.

She saved Halsin and I've been enjoying her and Gale a lot.

There's a sort of timid but curious vibe between them (at least, in my head lmao) that makes me happy. Can't wait to get to more romance scenes with him!

[simtleman]

Come get dazzled by the silver screen at the ORPHEUM THEATER!

So after updating all my freaking mods for the new Horse Ranch update (which I couldn't care less about, tbh... the only good thing that came with it for me was— you guessed it!— painted ceilings), here I am once again with a brand new building for the Vintage Save File I'm working on: let me take you on a tour through the stunning Orpheum Theater!

I OBVIOUSLY couldn't do a Vintage Save File set in Del Sol Valley without including a proper theater where your 1920s, '30s & '40s sims could go watch Golden Age films, get mesmerized by their favorite movie stars' glamour and perhaps even take their dates and get lucky while sitting in the back seats?

I have to say just building the front— mainly the marquee, which I did manually— took me about a solid 3 hours, so apologies if the rooms I decorated last seem a bit uncluttered... I was simply ready to move on to the next build by then lol

Below you can see the tickets window (somehow I always seem to find a way to implement @surely-sims's CC into my builds, I just can't help myself... it works too good around my aesthetic!)

And the main hall, in which you'll find @ravasheencc's Film Reaper Movie Theater posters that will allow your sims to watch actual movies through a rabbit hole. I don't know if you noticed, but I also finally found the courage to download and play around a little with @twistedmexi's TOOL mod (the lights frames are rotated) after getting inspired by some of the content by @come-hell-or-high-water. The way he/she (?) pays attention to the tiniest details in his/her screenshots made me want to take mine a step further, so thank you @come-hell-or-high-water!

There's only one movie room, but it has two stories and a beautiful balcony on the second floor you can access to if you go upstairs, through the main hall:

Upstairs is also where the toilets are located (look at those gorgeous red velvet carpeted ceilings... 9 freaking years I've waited to be able to do that, EA!):

And, of course, it wouldn't be a cinema without a projection room, would it?:

Next to the theater you'll find a kinda shabby parking lot, in which Dito Dalton (see my previous post) takes care of some of his businesses every now and then, if you know what I mean:

And last but not least, if you go through the back you'll find a very small yet cozy home that belongs to the household who owns the Orpheum Theater:

Who are the members of this household, you may ask? Ah, you little inquisitive mind! I'm afraid you'll have to wait for my next post to find out... but let me tell ya, they have a great background story and will be a great townie addition to this save file :)

Anyway, that's it for today! Hope you guys like this new building and we shall see where this crazy project that's taking most of my spare time lately takes me next lol

Introduction to My Blog!

last updated: 18/06/25 !!!

Hey there, I'm Stormypip7! I'm an artist and I play games that I like! :]

I'm neutral-leaning in ship-related discourse, but I will block people if they make me uncomfortable! I don't really mind what you ship in fiction: as long as it doesn't affect real people and as long as you understand that reality isn't as forgiving in many cases.

art schedule for june whilst i combat art block:

these are art weeks that i plan on taking part in, but i will have more free time for art requests from the 25th June!

I DESPISE REBLOG BAIT. I TRY NOT TO REBLOG IT, WHEN I DO ITS TAGGED.

tagging system:

-sp7's too much to handle au (my life series superpowers au tag)

-sp7's non art reblogs (my reblog tag for this account)

-sp7's rambling tag (my talking tag)

-sp7 does art things (my art tag, older art found under 'my art' and 'art')

-sp7's nostalgia tag (what i tag stuff with that's about old games i like, at least, when i remember to use it)

-sp7's fe self insert (NEW! self explanatory, tag for my self insert for fire emblem)

-sp7's qna event (tag for my qna event for reaching over 100 followers, as voted on by 11/ 12 people; event is over but i'll always be accepting asks either way in case you missed it)

-sp7's fates!macbeth au (ultra self-explanatory)

-[the imposter games] (tag for my weird modded among us oc thing. idk but im working on redesigning the characters. there are literally 24 of them so yknow.)

Please check out my other blogs, which can be found under the misc section!

(Hyperfixation list and misc section below the cut!)

fandoms i'm in:

*keep in mind that I do lurk in some fandoms, mainly the ones I don't really draw for; and this list is NOT the same as the hyperfixation list.

UT/DR, Danganronpa, Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Gravity Falls, Phineas and Ferb, The Life Series, Amphibia, The Owl House, Tomodachi Life, Stardew Valley, Cookie Run Kingdom, etc. (I will add to this!)

My hyperfixations!

->Danganronpa: certain characters individually.

->Gen 6 Pokémon: I grew up with a copy of Y and a Latios my brother gave me, which has lead to a major love for these games and Latios in general.

->Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (Rescue Team, specifically): I'm pretty sure that the Gen 3 version was one of the first games I beat the main story for and it has a special place in my heart, along with RT!Gengar.

->Undertale (and the AUs): my 2020 fixation has sunk its teeth back into me. Yeah this is one of my on and off ones.

->The Life Series': yeah, this one is huuuuuuge. It's reached brainrot levels of fixation. I NEED more time to be able to catch up on everyone's povs. And Limited Life. Aw heck, I'd rewatch ALL of it if I had the time to.

->Phineas and Ferb: we started rewatching the show earlier in the year and how on earth had I never actually watched it before? Anyway new fixation.

->Tomodachi Life!!!!!

->Miitopia: I go in and out of wanting to replay this masterpiece of a game, and it usually turns into a huge fixation of mine. Guess what came back.

->Fire Emblem Fates (and Awakening): Hello the last years on my 3ds, I missed you... I CAN satiate it by replaying the games, because I FOUND OUT MY A BUTTON STILL WORKS!

->Cookie Run Kingdom: I recently got into this one, but I might not interact with the fandom that much outside of looking at art and drawing my faves. (I also feel a bit of a connection to one of the cookies, but I have a lot to do at the moment so that will have to wait.)

Misc!

-> I have an art reblogging account. This is where I'll reblog most of the cool art I find. I also have a sideblog where I may talk about my (potential) alterhuman identity, and I have a sideblog for my Undertale AU. ( @pipstormy8 ) ( @ut-reverie ) ( @stormypip7-reblogs )

-> I also have an ask blog dedicated to my aus! ( @sp7s-multiverse-mailbox ) which I. Can't tag.

WAIT!! Let me try something...

-> Don't feel scared about sending me asks! Ask me anything that pops into your head. Hell, even ask me about the weather if you can't think of anything else!

-> i contributed to the post of editing the basic sexymen onto images, i made a 20-minute edit of their faces on pikmin.

-> I also have a Bluesky account, but I haven't actually posted on it as I'm more active on here, it's under the same username though (for if I ever DO use it.)

My Art Requests Are Always Open! These are free as I do them as a way of honing my skills, my inbox is always open for these! I am currently experiencing a bit of art block and I am not doing these just yet, but I will do them again when I have more free time!

Edit Logs for this Pinned Post:

[marclef]

As the creator of the current Fakey mod, I can tell you from experience if you're using the most common character template you'll have the same outdated issues I have where dialogue from updates made after the template was made will be defaulted, otherwise please tell me what you're using because I've been wanting to fix him for forever and it's my main focus so I can't fix other issues.

OH MY GOD WAIT YOU’RE THE ONE WHO MADE THE PEPPINO? MOD?? IT IS AN HONOR MY FRIEND, I’VE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME USING IT IN MY FRIENDS’ GAMES 🤗🤗

… *ahem*. but uhhhh anyways, it’s actually really simple to add missing dialogue in! and i guess this goes for anyone else trying to make a DST mod at this point…

the easiest way to add the newer lines in would be to copy the bases in from another character’s most updated dialogue file, for me i just use Wilson’s since he’s the most generic. all the scripts and everything can be found in the game’s databundles, hopefully that’s specific enough since i’m not home right now to show specifics.

after that, you’d drag the newer dialogues into the LUA file where they belong, generally the newer stuff is at the end of the dialogue file, making sure that the format is correct and everything. i don’t think the file cares about specifically WHERE the dialogue is, considering different characters have them differently, but just make sure stuff’s grouped correctly. otherwise, it should work just fine! an easy way to tell if it worked is to run the mod with these changes, and if the game DOESN’T crash when trying to run it, it should be fine!

and if you want/need any other specific help, feel free to ask me, i’ve made a couple other character mods before and it’s a lot of fun!! hopefully this helps at least a bit though, and well, hopefully you’ll end up liking my Fakey mod once it’s done as well (i’m trying to make sure it’s different enough that it’s unique!) 😁❤️

Capp Manor

I really, really hated the Capp manor in the Sims 2. It was one of the reasons I never played that family. So - while danjaley recreated it for her town and did a good job - I knew I would never keep it. I actually opened it up, took a look around, and said, "Yep, still hate it."

So in my town history, the old manor house burned down. Some sims whisper that those Monty boys had something to do with it. But, more likely it was Tybalt falling asleep while smoking his weed. In any event, if 'el cheapo' Consort supported the local fire district, the firemen wouldn't have taken that detour to the pizzeria when the call came in, saying his house was on fire. But he doesn't and they did. And the rest is history.

Luckily, the house was insured, so he was able to rebuild the place - bigger and better. Even had some simoleons left over to replace the non-existent horse barn he swore was on the property and lost in the fire.

Because he's older than dirt and stairs hurt his knees, his bedroom is on the ground level. It's a combo study, bedroom, dressing room, and bath.

And here's the rest of the floor.

The first bedroom, at the top of the stairs, belongs to Tybalt. It's also the biggest, because he's a guy and Consort is secretly patrilineal, even though he bowed to the Capp demand that he give up his surname when he married into the family. So, of course, his grandson gets the biggest and best room. Besides, Tybalt is the first male to be born into the family in several generations, so he IS the PRINCE!!!! And don't you forget it!

The two girls get what's left - Juliette in the one with the pink-striped bed and Hermia in the purple room. Juliette is actually happy she got the room she got, because it's close to the back stair, which makes it easier to sneak out. Hermia doesn't care. She's got her horse and that's all that matters to her.

Anyway, that's their new house. I do have to go back in and re-do the wallpaper on that one hallway wall. And fix the floor by the back stair case. But apart from that, it is what it is. I can't remember where I got this house. I think it was Mod the Sims, but it could have been TSR. In any event, I redecorated it inside and out. And I think it fits this family better. I do not plan on putting any family graves on this lot - like they had in the Sims 2. The Capps have a perfectly good church that they go to, that has an adjacent graveyard. So all the dead family members will go there. These aren't the Goths after all.

BTW, danjaley provided all the main families for this town - complete with their Sims 2 bios. Which is super nice. I have added to their stories here and there. Mostly to give more info on why they hate each other. For instance, Consort is a complete narcissist. He doesn't have a clue why his former college roommate and BFF got mad when he 1) secretly stole his fiancé and 2) ran off with her on the day they were to get married, leaving poor Patrizio standing there, waiting at the altar. Or why Pat got upset when Contessa and he talked her father into booting Patrizio out of the company he had helped build.

I have taken the sims into CAS - even though I hate it - because I use custom skins, hairs and make-up on my sims. Plus this was made a long time ago, and I decided to update their wardrobes a tad. But if you decide to use her world, she provides the families - and even a save file. I chose not to use the save because I knew I'd be making some changes to the town.

Dipper "So, this is how we're spending our evenings from now on, hu?"

Mabel "Mom brought him home from work!"

Kimber "He was a promotional prop for our new office space, but now he's my dance partner. So energetic, so fluid!"

Dipper "So distracting."

Mabel "We'll clear the living room before Dib's next Zim update; don't worry."

Kimber "I hope he calls a truce with Zim on earth's behalf and Zim decides to adopt earth as his new home. We'll all become good friends.. I can interview him; exchange recipes and mix cds. Aw!! Then when he starts a big Irken family I can see what their babies look like."

Mabel "Smeets."

Kimber "What?"

Mabel "Irken infants are called smeets."

Kimber "Awww! Little smeetie-beebies."

Mabel "We can adopt one! Or a pair if they're social!"

Dipper "What if smeets projectile puke highly corrosive acid or they're just really ugly?"

Kimber "No baby is ugly. I don't care what kind of fluid it spews out; I want to adopt one and name 'em Babka unless Zim insists they keep an Irken name. If I can't pronounce it, I'm going to be so embarrassed."

Dipper "Are you going to raise it Jewish?"

Kimber "Well, yeah... unless Zim openly objects."

Mabel "Are we allowed to do that, like, on our end? Can an alien convert to Judaism?"

Kimber "Ye....er...? I will do some research and ask some questions."

Dipper "Guys, stop. I was just being facetious. Zim isn't here to make peace with humanity, that's very much established, and he's NOT going to hand you alien baby adoptables. This conversation is too stupid to entertain any further."

Kimber "A human can hope."

Dipper "Just... I don't even know if Dib has an update. Did he message you at all recently?"

Mabel "No. He usually contacts you first. You haven't heard from him?"

Dipper "Not since last week."

Mabel *wincing "Ooh. When he just cut the stream mid update?"

Dipper "Yeah."

Kimber "Poor baby. He got all glassy-eyed and quiet."

Dipper "That was weird."

Mabel "And sad. I wonder what happened?"

Kimber "Did we say something that upset him?"

Dipper "I don't know. I don't think so, but... Wait; Gaz logged on. I'll ask her what's up with him."

Gaz "Dib...? He's been in his room doing Dib things I would rather remain ignorant about."

Dipper "Is he okay?"

Gaz "I... guess so? Why?"

Dipper "He hasn't contacted me or replied to me at all since last week. I even hacked into the swollen eyeball site. He's been idle for days."

Gaz "That is kind of weird. Wait, you hacked the swollen eyeball? Why not just make an account?"

Dipper "I'm banned."

Mabel "What?"

Dipper "Not me specifically; The entire Pines family is blacklisted by the swollen eyeball."

Gaz "What did you DO? They haven't even banned Dib yet and he's a nuisance."

Dipper "It wasn't me; my zadie Shermie used to have a lot of heated arguments with some of the elder mods in the mid 80's. There were a lot more antisemitic conspiracy theories circulating in the SE back then, from what dad told me."

Gaz "Yikes."

Dipper "Yeah... Anyway, um, you haven't spoken to Dib or seen him come out of his room at all?"

Gaz "Not in past few days."

Dipper "And that didn't seem concerning to you?"

Gaz "That's not unusual or anything. We try to give each other generous amounts of personal space in this house. I just assumed he was obsessively going over his stupid Zim research or editing the next update with you."

Dipper "No, I haven't heard from him. We just wanted to make sure he was ok. He seemed really upset last time we face timed, like he was about to cry or break down or something."

Gaz "About what?"

Dipper "No idea. I was hoping he said something to you."

Gaz "If he did, I wasn't listening."

Dipper "That's kind of shitty."

Gaz "I'll spare you an emasculating comeback while I carry us through this mini boss battle."

Dipper "Could you check to see if he's alive? Tell him to text me when he feels like it."

Gaz "Now?"

Dipper "Preferably."

Gaz "But we almost reached the save point."

Dipper "Don't you think your brother's well-being takes priority?"

Gaz "No."

Dipper "That's really shitty."

Gaz "Says someone who never smelled Dib's room before."

Kimber "Gazlene?! Go tell your brother to come downstairs and floaty screen talk with us right now, little miss! Be a good sister. Tell him you love him and we miss him and we're here for him."

Gaz "Is she trying to guilt trip me too?"

Dipper "Welcome to the family."

Gaz "Fine. After we reach the next save point; Only because YOU care. But I won't be pleasant about it. Actually-- Hold on... Todd? Todd!"

Squee -startled mid-snore snort!- "What?! What's burning?!"

Gaz "Nothing yet. Do me a favor. Go tell Dib he needs to call Dipper. The whole Pines family is worried sick about him apparently and they're trying to make it my concern."

Squee "Um...ok. Sooo, the last time I went into his room, he told me to fuck off and threw a bucket of chicken bones at my head. Not putting myself through that again. Sorry..."

Gaz -irritated growl- "Fucking serious?"

Squee "Sorry, but, I scrub the bathroom twice a week. You go deal with Dib."

Gaz "Damnit..."

A continuation of this dialogue.

[hollowspaced]

It's not cold but it's still my fav season, and with Life & Death and Agatha All Along I'm excited for once. Strange. And after a sad summer's end. My computer glitched, fried my hard drives, and I lost everything: my sims, my cc, my work, my mind. Anyways, it's been a time for sure, back to Sims.

EPs are back? New dance, new pet, new book type, new aspiration, two careers: active and rabbithole, meaningful life and death journeys, new skill, new side hustle (? maybe two), classic sim lore, new collectable and traits, cemeteries and crypts, funerals and condolences, wills and inheritance, good grief system, heirlooms, ghost occult update, interactive world with new quest townies (?), hidden lot (?), reincarnation, and there's more!?! This pack is fat af (as it should be) and they've been teasing it for years! I'm so ready for Halloween.

As per usual, thoughts and rant!:

Love the Romanian World, can't wait to update my SimNation map! I just wish the world name reflected it's inspiration.

With wills and inheritance, will someone related always read it or will it be a lawyer townie (possibly from DU?) I can't wait to learn the process of setting one up, filling it, and retrieving it.

The house/portal, reminds me of Grim's Manor from S3, will this be headquarters for the active career?

How did the ghost child die, and any relation to Temperance?

With rebirth, how long will the "special ties" connect families? 2 gens? 3? 5?

Will the crypts cull gravestones in the worlds? [My biggest annoyance was always going to a random house and finding like 6 gravestones]

Will sims finally stop going into despair at random stranger's death?

Can I charge for tarot readings? Can I use the cards on the seance table from Paranormal Stuff?

If I'm a spellcaster, can I summon a murder to my enemies?

Will the pet crow actually operate like a pet? Needing to be feed? How many crows can I have? Will multiple crows interact?

Kissing a ghost, okay... but woohoo? Ghost baby?

Nervous and Olive either better be townies or be on the Gallery!

Will the wreaths be craftable on flower arranging table? [not really holding out for this as they didn't add the flowers from Lovestruck to the table]

Is the music box a hint? Also will it be craftable on woodworking table [they really forget about this thing, but with the new kit maybe it crossed their minds?]

If you die with an atrocious reputation will you automatically go up a tier on the poltergeist track?

If you record yourself while a haunting is happening with a drone, could there be a new video type?

Will there be funeral activities custom to occults?

Probably won't be an option but the option to send the ashes off to become a diamond/jewelry piece or "seed" to plant would've been *chef's kiss*

There isn't much to this rant because imo the team actually did really good for once. And some of the things I want from the pack are so nuanced they're grains of sand. This beats all sims packs hands down and not just because I'm goth. It has something for family players, challenge players, and occult players like any good EP should... and makes Lovestruck look really weak in comparison. It just came out!

I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of zodiac signs but not only is that what mods are for [since I'm fortunate enough to have fixed my PC] but also many more years of the Sims so maybe one day. Spooky/Metaphysical content can always be added - zodiac signs +. horoscopes, oneirology, taxidermy, reiki, haunted woods, spiders, return of "watchers", and covens [ie group spells]. I'm actually happy they went down the rebirth route instead of juggling the politics of good/bad place gameplay [which they could still do in the future if they're brave enough or desperate enough for content].

Also still waiting for Fairies [and Zombies].

Gameplay Trailer Update:

Love, love, love this pack! It's massive on BB and CAS alone. The build/buy hits nearly every category. The CAS has items for nearly all ages (idk if I saw anything for infants). I can't think of a single pack that even comes close to being that full.

The world is good. 14 lots (I thought they'd hide the netherworld/headquarters away but it's just on the map... but thinking about it, makes sense, I believe they characterized the world as a place where life and death intermingle) and I hope that bell tower rings when in that neighborhood!

There is a lawyer townie/npc... kinda bummer that it'll probably have no DU compatibility but I'll live. I wonder if it's tied to the event or the desk? Can I move them indoors?

Still have questions about the tarot - there was a suspicious tent setup in the trailer - can I hire a tarot reader? Can I randomly go get a reading? Will this effect me?

Yes to Woohoo and Have a baby with Grim! .... but ghosts?

Ghost powers look amazing, but not deadly? The evil ghost looks mildly inconvenient at best.

Was that a new craftable planter, or have I just not even looked at the woodworking table in forever?

Coffin woohoo being for humans, makes me wonder if the new coffins will be usable for vampires?

What was with that extra hexagon in CAS? New category? If we ever get zodiac, I wonder if that's how they'll implement it?

All my spooky CC gravestones/urns, plz be an easy update/batchfix!

I hope the soul's journey isn't too easy and I have questions about being reborn into a household (do they know me? Is this like Billy/Willam situation in the Sims?)

The will being in the inventory; can I store it in a chest and hide it in the attic to be discovered when the sim dies... or is it stuck there?

8 humans graves + 6 for the occults (whomp whomp plantsims), what about the Snowy Escape one? And the debug ones? Is this officially more graves than umbrellas?

Are the skeleton hands accessories in CAS or....?

It would've been cool if I don't make/find enough money as a ghost sim to pay my bills, my house gets "repossessed"/npc sims move in and I got to haunt them.

No new ghost occult plumbob?

Danganronpa: Dedication

--------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, and welcome to my blog, Danganronpa Dedication, dedicated to all things Danganronpa! Basically, this is me trying to find other Danganronpa fans and pal around. I'm an inconsistent poster, be warned. Here, I will be spouting my hyperfixated nonsense, and I expect others to do the same, teehee! This includes talk of OCs, AUs, headcanons, cosplay, memes and textposts, shipping, art, anything fandom related! Definitely a lot of reblogging also. I'm Mod Tsumugi, and I'm the owner of this blog! Here's some info about me! Age: 19

Zodiac Sign: Gemini (June 9th :3) Favorite Danganronpa Characters: Honestly most of them, my top ten are Hajime/Izuru, Makoto, Nagito, Mikan, Tsumugi, Kiibo, Yasuhiro, Aoi, Toko, and Sonia, but tbh, there are VERY few Danganronpa characters I dislike. All will get love in some way, shape, or form. Characters I Simp For: Hajime Hinata/Izuru Kamukura, and Nagito. Mikan on certain days. Favorite Game: Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Favorite Anime Arc: Despair Arc Monokuma's Suggestion Box: This is just my askbox. Drop art, confessions, headcanons, requests maybe if I wanna try my hand at writing (the Ultimate Fanfic Creator I am NOT), what you want to <3 Of course though, there are rules for my blog. Let's list those, shall we? - Always credit original creators of something. I know, I know, sometimes you find something on Pinterest and the original creator isn't linked. If you can, please do credit the original creator of what you send me in the suggestion box. It would really suck for that person to not get the credit they deserve. -NSFW confessions, requests, headcanons are allowed, HOWEVER, you must start off your ask with an NSFW warning for those who don't want to read or see that. I ask that any pictures under this umbrella be censored to fit Tumblr's guidelines, or you will be unfortunately blocked. No gibbly bits.

-Adding onto the last one, this one should go without saying. I will NOT TOLERATE any NSFW of any kind, about the WOH, or any other younger characters in Danganronpa. It's disgusting, and we're not trying to be like Haiji Towa out here. You can still request stuff about the WOH, but it will be strictly platonic. -Please no spam. I have pretty bad anxiety, I think I'd scream lmao. -Please no homophobia, transphobia, or any hate regarding the LGBTQ+ community. I have many asexual headcanons for certain characters, and I know that everyone has a wide variety of headcanons for the characters. -Please no racism or sexism either. IRL I am a woman of color, that'd be very uncomfortable for everyone involved. -No hatred towards certain religions and spiritual beliefs. All are welcome here, whether you're Christian (like me) or atheist, and everyone in between. We should learn from each other as a community, not tear each other down.

As the need for more rules come up, this will be updated. I want this to be a place of fun for Danganronpa fans, not a place to harbor creeps. Anyways, rules aside, let's have some fun! I can't wait to see all of your beautiful, hopeful faces! Or, in actuality, read your hopeful posts.

-Mod Tsumugi :3

[pastel-bruh]

The latest Sims 4 Update has completely broken my game.

(This is going to be a long rant, so buckle up)

For context, I play on console, which means any of the issues I am facing can not be blamed on mods or cc.

The first issue I (and many others) have is the whole simology panel being broken thing. If I ever click on it, not only does none of the tool bar actions like the career panel or inventory show up, but I also can't manage worlds or access the menu. This means that I can't even save and exit the game properly.

Another problem I have faced is sims being autonomously mean to each other. These sims will have literally no reason to be mean to each other and still do it anyway, which just tanks their friendship and romance bars. One workaround I have found is that if you have high school years, you can just abuse social bunny to rebuild their relationships. However, it's still really annoying to deal with.

Prior to this update, I have only faced minor bugs/display issues, but nothing that I would ever consider game breaking. And I have always been way more patient and understanding than a lot of other people when it comes to EA and the multitude of problems with Sims 4.

However, this is so ridiculous. I had to wait 4 hours for this base game update to install, only for it to totally break my game. It has me even doubting if they even play-tested this update beforehand. If they did, then they need to vastly improve their quality standards.

I do understand that EA and the Sims team are always going to prioritize the PC players because that's how most people play the game. That's fine, I get that! But that doesn't mean that they should just flat out ignore console players when it comes to testing out bugs. Especially when said bugs have also affected PC players!

Many people, myself included, have spent a good chunk of money on this game, despite EA's greedy cash practices (like charging $40 per EP and making EPs out of content that should clearly be GPs). We do that because WE ENJOY PLAYING IT. I love the sims, and this is why I'm ranting about it.

I know the Sims team can do better. Honestly, they have gotten lazy, and the sims has lost it's good reputation over the past couple of years.

This update sounded like a step in the right direction. It includes many long-time requested features such as romantic boundaries, eyelashes, and a copy and paste system within CAS. But in typical Sims 4 fashion, the team got lazy and just pushed it out as soon as they could before the EP dropped.

I know a long-winded Tumblr post isn't going to do anything to actually influence the Sims team, but it's just gotten to the point where I'm done having good faith within the sims team. They've proven again and again that the passion for the sims franchise behind the scenes is dead, and they're probably just using the money from sims to fund another shitty MADDEN game.

I really do love playing Sims 4, but it's just really disappointing to see that nobody behind the scenes seems to care about the quality anymore since they know people will just buy stuff regardless.

I really hope that they can release a patch for the current issues soon and that someday the Sims team will put more effort into their work. (I know it seems scary, but you can release game packs, and people will still buy them 😱)

BIG GIANT POST ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE PLAYING TWEWY!!!!!!

CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!

NO I HAVE NOT PLAYED NEO YET!!!! I AM POOR!!!!! PLEASE DON'T SPOIL ME ON IT!!!!!! I've played some of the demo though!!!!!

I first decided to get into twewy last month. I saw that there was a switch version available, but I was unable to play that version. I did, however, have a ds emulator, but after talking to some people I realized I probably would've gotten arthritis playing it on emulator.

When I was just about ready to give up, I decided to watch the first episode of the anime. I enjoyed it a bit.

I was then told to not watch the anime.

So you may be wondering.. "How did you play twewy?"

I played the mobile version. Solo mix. Yeah that one. The one not available for current gen phones.

I found a link to a modded version on an old reddit thread that was updated for current gen android phones, and one of my friends helped me get it set up, and I was finally ready to play.

During my first few hours, I didn't actually like neku all that much. Honestly, he was a dick. i remember what you said about plushies, neku. i will not forgive this as a plushie enthusiast.

While playing the game, I was under the assumption that I would get to change partners whenever once I unlocked it. Rhyme seemed cool, so I was hoping to get to partner with her.

And then the game killed her off.

Despite not knowing anything about rhyme, she was still my favorite character. Besides beat of course, but that's later during week 3.

I remember that I was crying when I first saw her death. I was all like "why did they make such a cool character design, just to kill her off?? that doesn't make sense."

earlier today I saw a tweet on twitter that said "cute cosplay idea for couples!" and it was a rhyme cosplay and a shark costume and I nearly lost my shit laughing, so I guess I'm over it.

When week 1 was ending, I remember feeling like "wait, that's it?" of course, I was wrong.

anyways week 2 now uhh uhhhhhh-

when I first met joshua and learned that I could scan him I was all like "huh???". also excellent foreshadowing there, square enix!

also JOSHUA IS A FRUIT YOU CANNOT TELL ME THIS PERSON ISN'T GAY JUST LOOK AT HIM

at this point, I didn't really know what to expect anymore. the game broke one of its already established rules, "players can't scan other players" so I had no idea what was coming next anymore.

SHO MINAMIMOTO IS HOT!!!!

uhhg. don't got anything else to say about this week except I genuinely thought hanekoma was the composer.

I was extremely shocked to learn that joshua killed neku during this week, and was even more shocked to learn that it was a misfire (and then I learned it wasn't a misfire but that's in week 3 and we haven't gotten to that yet!)

WEEK THREE!!! BEAT TIME!!!

alright, before I started week 3, I actually didn't like beat all that much. that changed a LOT during week 3. he is now one of my favorite characters.

later that week, I had finally learned joshua was the composer and was actually extremely shocked lol.

oh uh I also got spoiled on how beat and rhyme got hit by a car from ign so uhhhh oops

SHO SOMEHOW GOT HOTTER!!!!

I beat the game. I loved the credits theme (and will rewatch the credits later) and really liked how neku threw off his headphones to symbolize how he won't shut himself off from the world anymore.

10/10 game, really enjoyed playing it!

also there was a scene early on where neku went up to a reaper and said I know what you are and I didn't get to screenshot it :(

so.. yeah! my experience with twewy! good game! one of my favorites now! getting neo soon!

[sasquach-scratches]

But anyways I genuinely enjoy the Gore follower mod in part because it subverted my expectations of what the character would be like based on the mod description. Defo not as "edgy" (can't think of a better descriptor, sorry) as I was expecting and even at the start there was quite a bit of depth to his character.

I've been reading a lot of good things about the Vigilant expansion which makes me glad I decided to run the mod on this save. I dunno if I'll ever try out the mod on one of my "main" characters but it is one I eagerly wait for updates to.

[glitchyred]

hey, a friend let me know you were looking for OG glitchy red thread. i might have the screencaps and a bunch of old creepypasta lost media on my old hard drive if you don't mind waiting a few weeks for my partner and i to finish going through his storage unit. i wanna say someone on deviantart originally posted the screencaps somewhere? i was into pokemon in 2010/2011 and was following the original /vp/ thread. i also remembered the supposed OP posting a screenshot of his firered game glitching and if i'm right and it's not archived then that really sucks, even if photoshopped it added a lot of immersion to the story. it was 4chan and all anon though so who knows. :( there was also anon ("drawfag") fanart in the thread that someone claiming to be OP approved of and i will eat my own hat if i'm wrong about that because i vividly remember it! it was glitchy attacking fire!red. there were also a lot of wholesome (by 4chan standards) comments about how some people only turned off their game after they got their protag to a pokemon center or somewhere safe, which i vividly remember bc it was the whole reason i kept up with the thread lol. feel free to ask any questions. i'm seriously freaking out right now, i had no idea anyone else was even still into this stuff!! i follow the fnf mod community and didn't even know there was a whole pokepasta mod at ALL!

sorry this is all i can offer for now, i haven't even used tumblr in like 10 years but thank you for the nostalgia! should i play false red? if i don't respond it's because you lost me to hypno's lullaby.

Holy SHIT thats awesome!!! I would love if you shared anything you find so much!!!! I lament over how much lost media there must be in old creepypasta forums so often, this fandom is smth I'm so passionate about. Also I could be totally wrong (I wouldn't be surprised if there's multiple pieces depicting The Nightmare Scene) but it would be crazy if you're referencing My Favorite Glitchy Red Art lol. My tablet's download folder is super unorganized so it'll take me forever to dig it up but I know I have it somewhere I'll upload it with reblogs off if I find it. Also that bit abt the wholesome comments is adorable NDKWJJD

Anyway yeah!! The pokepasta community is very small but thriving. FNF: Lullaby isn't the only FNF mod for Pokepastas (I can't. Remember the names of the others off the top of my head but you should be able to find them easily lol) and it's where the majority of the fandom is at rn! I don't hang out on that side of the fandom much but I love. The Lullaby song for Strangled Red it's So good. Also I would recommend False Red for anyone who likes Glitchy Red, it's very much a spiritual successor intentionally or not. It can be a little hard to track down these days so here's a download link if you or anyone reading this needs it.

Tysm and keep me updated!!

Although liveblog posts will contain analysis due to how we like to engage with media, liveblogs are primarily a collection of whatever thoughts came to mind during our reading. Liveblog posts are constructed with each mod drafting their own live reactions separately before combining them, so some sentiments may be repeated due to both mods noting it down. Any analysis within a liveblog post should not be assumed to be our complete thoughts on the subject.

Blue = Mod Aluria Pink = Mod Jasper Arrows (>>>) are used to indicate commentary on each other's commentary.

Oh hey a fun little reference to Dave's earlier ire.

Page 637:

John has been launched into space. Sad!

Page 640:

KO'd John my beloved. Good thing Rose caught him or the timeline would be so fucked. >Wouldn't be the stupidest way the timeline has been fucked up, probably. >>Even in canon we have John getting himself killed via the whole jetpack thing.

Page 643: John has been doing a lot of fighting and things have generally been fairly high-energy, I don't blame for him for wanting some shuteye. The reasoning for why SBURB works the way it does is so interesting. Rose thinks that the reason she can't move John is because it's "thieving you of your free will as an adventurer, and the need to advance by your own skill and ingenuity" which is. There's something there, but I don't know what yet.

Page 644: Me when I go to sleep in a normal and non-plot-relevant way that will not come up at any point.

Page 646:

Hahaha, remember when discs were something people used. On laptops. And you could use them? Idk where I was going this this was gonna be an enshittification jo- wait. Looking at it. I need to check something. ...okay so this is how I find out that my laptop has had a disc drive this entire time and I just didn't fucking know what it was. Anyway after looking at that keyboard it appears to be a Macbook.

UPDATE A BIT LATER IN THE DRAFTING PROCESS: I asked an IRL friend who knows a decent amount about Apple machines and it most closely matches an iBook G4! Idk if that's intentional but neat! >Stitching Aluria here: quite a few people literally still use discs why did I go on this tangent.

FUCK

Page 651: JADE SILHOUETTE YAY Oh what a fun sequence to introduce how the clouds work for Pros- JADE?

Page 652: I remember being perpetually confused and suspicious of Jade early on my first reading. I understand why Jade won't tell him anything, but I do get John's frustration in this instance. The stakes are much higher now, you can't just withhold information and expect no one to be pissed about it.

It's over Anakin, I have the high ground!

Page 665: 1. "Upward Movement (Dave Owns)" slaps. 2. this is so... habitual for him. This is so intense and then there's a moment right as Dave gets to the roof where he just looks so small. Kinda puts things into perspective in a painful way. Anyway, 2x psyche out combo is sick. Hi WV.

You ever think about how WV is a traumatized veteran revolutionary leader? I do. WV makes me so sad all the time.

Page 680: That ain't a human in that book of human etiquette. Also, I forgot how hard they hammer home the point that he's literally starving to death. Poor guy. >A couple of liveblogs ago I was like "hey do you think he has food insecurity-related trauma" and now it's like oh that's just fucking canon.

Page 710: WV is now dying slightly less of thirst and starvation! :D >Actually iirc soda can dehydrate you a bit. Don't quote me on that I'm not a doctor. Oh wait i have the internet I can fact-check. Okay yeah so the sodium + caffeine can fuck you up in those amounts. The sugar would also do that but Tab is a diet drink that is not sweetened with sugar. >>Okay, then he's dying slightly less of starvation! Wait, it's a diet drink? Nvm he's fucked.

Page 715: GET ZAZZERPANNED. >WIZARD JUMPSCARE. Remind me to do a panel edit that gives him big naturals later. >>HAFHSDHGBS

Page 721: "[S] WV: Lead your men to victory!" is very whimsical. "Vagabounce" is fun to listen to, and it's nice to see him having some fun despite his unusual circumstances. Chess :] I'm glad he's having fun, but, like- the countdown doesn't worry him at all? >Tbf it's not like he can do much. If all you can really do is worry and get distracted, the distraction is a much better option. >>Okay, fair.

Page 723: YAY PM ILY PM Hi PM :}

JESUS FUCK I DO NOT REMEMBER THIS LINE. This man is literally a former revolutionary leader with political opinions and mental health issues and the fandom likes to make him Davekat's uwu buddy because 'carapacians can't talk', something that is both extremely ableist and also untrue??? >Fanon WV makes me sick. They don't even call him his name :{ >>Fanon is usually the enemy. This is why I have yeeted myself back into a room with the source material. >>>It's an honor to be in the room where fanon doesn't happen. Hm. Okay. And I'm just supposed to think this is normal? Cool.

Page 743: I can't remember if this is a carapacian thing or a WV thing but I think it's cool that "uncanny ability to gauge distance" is just a trait he has. And that it's implied to be because chess. >How else is one supposed to know how many spaces you can move forward at once?

I think previously Jasper has mentioned parallels with how John and WV both view themselves as stupid. :( He is so mean to himself. So is John. He's also mean to John. Wondering if there's a connection there. >Same fucking wavelength.

Page 750: Hi Serenity :] Yay! Serenity!

Page 753: Amused deeply by the fact that Serenity's morse code here just says "LASGO". Short + sweet. >No it says "LETS GO" but the difference between "ET" and "A" is a matter of spacing so if you don't pick up on the spacing it's an easy mistake. >>Ah, my bad. Weird how I managed a translation fail that still reads right.

Page 755: He tried to leave but couldn't make it. :( Oh well, it's important for him to be able to meet the other exiles later. :D

CACKLING.

Page 757: "[S] WV: Ascend." wowed me the first time, and it still does! "Explore" is a breathtaking track, and in addition to the visuals of the exiles and Earth in the future and past, it's harrowing to see the Lalondes' actions amidst the flames. I also like the look at the various activities of the three guardians. Truly a great end for Act 2. If you've been reading our posts, thank you for tagging along with us in the lead-up to 4/13. Oh god. Yeah. Ascend's got everything. Genuinely I had to watch this twice. God. Wraps everything up quite nicely, doesn't it? I don't know if I have any other particularly wise commentary other than that it again emphasizes how small Dave is and how big Bro is in comparison, just to really drive the fucking point home.
