Trapped: Below Zero (Subnautica)

It had only been a few weeks since you and your friends escaped the endless depths of Subnautica, but the thrill of the game—and the bond forged in its terrifying waters—lingered. That's why you all sat crowded in a room, your gaming setup in front of other's. This time you guys were playing a modded version of Subnautica: Below Zero.

"No way it can happen again, right?" Uraraka asked nervously, glancing around the room. Everyone agreed to play other games, because maybe Subnautica was cursed.

"Relax," Ashido said, laughing. "We survived last time, didn't we? Plus, imagine we get trapped in this one too! Wouldn't that be hilarious?" Ironic.

You couldn't respond quick enough, the familiar distortion rippled across the screen. That same eerie feeling from last time filled the air, and the room went unnaturally still. Your stomach dropped as the light grew blindingly bright, and once again, you felt yourself falling.

+++

When you opened your eyes, icy wind clawed at your face. Snow whipped through the air, and frostbite nipped at your fingers. You were standing on an alien tundra, the vast white expanse dotted with jagged rocks and glowing flora.

"No. Freaking. Way." Kirishima muttered, his breath visible in the frigid air.

"We're back," Uraraka whispered, her voice trembling. "But... it's colder this time."

Ashido let out a nervous laugh, rubbing her arms. "Okay, not funny anymore. I didn't mean it literally!"

"Everyone shut up!" Bakugou snapped, already inspecting his surroundings. "We've done this before. Same rules apply—we survive, and we find the way out.."

His commanding tone snapped everyone into action, but you could see the unease in his crimson eyes. It was clear he wasn't thrilled to be back in another life-or-death game. Neither were you. You knew a lot about this game too, yet Bakugou wasn't as versed as the last one. You had begged him to get the game and when it was on sale, you ended up buying it for him.

The first few hours were rough. The cold was relentless, and even with the basic thermal gear you scavenged from the starting pod. It was hard to stay warm. You were used to the water around you so being on a different alien planet and a snowy one with more land, at that, it proved to be harder. You and Bakugou retook charge, splitting up tasks while the rest of the group adjusted to the new environment.

"You know the drill," Bakugou told you as you both worked on constructing a shelter. "We've gotta find the endgame. These extras'll just slow us down if we don't stay ahead."

"Don't call them extras," you chided, though your lips quirked in amusement. "But yeah, we've got to get to the Architect's facility and figure out how to escape."

He nodded, his usual sharpness softened by the familiarity of working with you. "At least you know what you're doing."

The compliment caught you off guard. It wasn't like Bakugou to openly praise anyone, but the experience of being trapped together once before had shifted things between you. The tension wasn't gone anymore. It had just... changed.

+++

Over the next few days, the group settled into a routine. You divided responsibilities, with some of you exploring the icy waters while others gathered resources from the glacial landscape. The danger felt even more pronounced in Below Zero, with shadowy creatures lurking beneath the ice and unpredictable weather threatening your survival at every turn.

One afternoon, while venturing into a deep underwater cave with Bakugou, a Shadow Leviathan attacked. Its screech echoed through the water, and panic set in as it barreled toward your small sea truck.

"Hold on!" You shouted, swerving the vehicle sharply.

"Don't screw this up!" Bakugou barked, his hand gripping the console tightly. But beneath the anger, there was an edge of worry in his voice, for you that is. He knew you knew the game better than him, he knew you knew how to get out of this situation. It just worried him.

The Leviathan slammed into the truck, sending it spiraling. You struggled to regain control, and just as it lunged for a second strike, Bakugou deployed a decoy flare. The creature veered off, distracted by the light, and you took the opportunity to speed away.

When you finally reached the surface and docked the truck, your hands were trembling. Bakugou turned to you, his usual scowl replaced by something almost gentle.

"You okay?" He asked, his voice low.

"Yeah, I think," you breathed, though your heart was still racing. "Thanks for the save." You sat on the ice, staring into the water below. Dammit..

"Don't mention it," he muttered, but the intensity of his gaze lingered. "Tough cookie." He murmurs, looking at you. His face softened slightly.

+++

As the days turned into weeks, the bond between you and Bakugou grew once again. When you established a friendship after the last one, you slowly started to show Bakugou that you liked him as more than friends and wondered if he felt the same way. There was an unspoken understanding between you. He trusted you in ways he didn't trust the others, and you found yourself leaning on him more than you ever thought you would.

One night, while the group huddled in the base during a blizzard, you found yourselves alone in the storage room, organizing supplies.

"You're different here," you said, breaking the comfortable silence.

"What the hell's that supposed to mean?" He grumbled, though there was no real bite to his words.

"I mean... you're still you, but you're also not just yelling all the time," you teased, a small smile playing on your lips.

He rolled his eyes, but you caught the faintest hint of a smirk. "Maybe you're just less annoying than the rest of them."

"Oh, so I'm special now?" You joked, but your heart skipped a beat when he didn't immediately deny it.

"Yeah," he said quietly, surprising you. "Guess you are."

You turned to look at Bakugou, unsure if you'd heard him correctly. His back was toward you as he fiddled with a crate of batteries, but his movements were slower, almost hesitant.

"Wait," you said, stepping closer to him and peering over his shoulder. "Did you just admit I'm special?"

"Don't make a big deal out of it," he muttered, his voice low but steady. He didn't look at you, but the tips of his ears were noticeably red.

You bit your lip, trying to suppress a grin. "I think this counts as a big deal. Should I alert the others?"

"Try it, and I'll throw you outside," he growled, but there was no venom in his words. Instead, he finally turned to face you, his crimson eyes locking onto yours. "You're not like them. You're... different. In a good way."

Your heart stuttered. "Bakugou, I-"

"Don't." His voice softened as he stepped closer, his gaze unwavering. "Not unless you mean it." He wanted to reach out, caress your face, but that was unlike him.

You hesitated for only a moment before you smiled, your voice steady. "I do." You rested your forehead against Bakugou's chest briefly. He stiffened slightly, but didn't move.

The faintest smirk tugged at his lips. "Good. Then shut up and help me finish this before the extras complain."

+++

The Architect's facility, through the phase gate, was the key to escaping. The group endured freezing storms and alien creatures. Yet, Bakugou remained steadfast, his determination never wavering. With him at your side, you felt unstoppable.

When you finally stood before the facility's massive, glowing entrance, exhaustion and relief washed over you. The group cheered, celebrating the milestone, but your eyes were on Bakugou while everyone else moved in and started the motions of the gate.

"We're almost there," you said, your voice barely above a whisper.

He nodded, his expression serious, but he looked at you with a softness. "Let's finish this."

Once everyone was done with their tasks, you placed your hand on the lever and took a deep breath. When the final sequence began, a blinding light enveloped the room.

+++

You woke up back in your room, the faint hum of your computer was heard. The group was sprawled across the floor, groaning as they stirred awake.

"We're back?" Ashido asked, sitting up and glancing around.

"Looks like it," Todoroki confirmed, his usual calm tone tinged with relief.

As the others began to laugh and cry in equal measure, you found yourself sitting beside Bakugou. He was quiet, his gaze fixed on the blank monitor. Without thinking, you reached over and placed a hand on his arm.

"Hey," you said softly. "We did it. Again."

He turned to you, and for a moment, his guarded expression softened. "Yeah. We did."

The others were too busy celebrating to notice when Bakugou's hand brushed against yours, his touch lingering just long enough to send warmth through you that no frost could ever chase away. You intertwined your fingers together and the two of you remained quiet as you watched the others celebrate being back home again.

Winx Club x Stardew Valley

Six Winx. Six Bachelors. Six Bachelorettes.

Bloom. Obviously Sam and Haley. Sam is just a mix between Sky and Andy. He likes pizza, skateboards and has a band! He is front singer! She's smitten. Now, Haley is like Stella and Bloom loves Stella. Of course, she will date the sweet blonde who is mean at first and then grows soft. The woman in this picture? Yeah, she loves 'em blonde. She really fucked their well planned farm over just to grow a bunch of sunflowers and spends all their hard earned money on pizza.

Flora. She agreed to play with them after Tecna promised she doesn't have to fight anyone and can just take care of their plants. Now, Flora has a type too. Long-haired man with a kind soul. Now, add poetry and romantic, you get Elliott. He is basically Helia. For bachelorettes, I want to go with Emily. She is an artist too. A spiritual woman who feels trapped in the life she is living. All those responsibilties she has to bear. Flora would choose either of them but never marry them. She doesn't want to get in their way of achieving their dreams and be free.

Stella. She saw Alex and called dibs. He looks a bit like Brandon and that's enough. When she heard that Bloom romances Haley because she reminds her of Stella, you bet that Stella started to romance Penny. She totally loves the character depth of Alex, even though she is great impatient and would love to just skip all dialogue. Yes, Stella spends their money on items none of her love interests like but that she finds good. She runs around the whole day to talk to the sweet Penny and her handsome Alex. At the end of the day, she will marry her Penny to save her from that horrendous mess that is Pam.

Tecna. This woman has no time for romance. She wants efficiency. She wants perfection. Every crate has a colour and every object has a crate to be put into. She likes Maru. If she didn't have to work on the farm and plan it to bring them the highest amount of money, she would romance her. Shane? While I like him, Tecna doesn't have time for his terrible character. She dislikes him but he gets her blue chicken and she wants those. And deep down, she feels better helping him to get sober. Back to Maru: a woman of science. A lovely character with a predictable routine. Tecna loves her so much, she gifts Maru her precious strawberries. Sighing so happily while her girlfriend (and soon-to-be-wife) shows her the robot she built.

Musa. Well, well, well if it isn't her type: moody and rebellious loner. Yeah, she romances Sebastian. Now, Musa has some jealousy issues as we know and her plan was quite easy: romance Abigail, so she stops flirting with Sebastian and then get Sebastian. However, it ended with her begging Tecna to get a mod to have both. She is greedy. They both play instruments, they are both rebels at heart and Abigail fights the normalcy her mother expects of her. That's a badass woman and Musa loves these.

Layla/Aisha. Her job was to reach the level 100 as fast as possible in the mines and then do the same in the skull cavern. Layla ended up often enough at Harvey's clinic to think "well, let's romance him and hope for a discount". She worried first that Tecna wants that romance but no, she is busy enough (and has Maru). She is happily surprised when she finds out that Leah isn't taken yet. The outside-loving artist? Who lives all alone and happy? That's Layla's girl. Forget that doctor that doesn't even give her a discount, she proudly carries the sculpture from Leah around.

Tecna didn't tell them they can marry each other and it shows.

[studentinpursuitofclouds]

So I've been having a lot of fun with both sve and rsv and npc adventures, and I was wondering... how would the adventurers in each mod react to each other's dangerous areas? Like, for example how would Lance react to Ridgeside Forest and the Spirit world, and how Daia and Jio would react to the Crimson Badlands. Bonus points if the farmer is their romantic partner and say they've been going to these places on their own before they became a couple!

This is actually very interesting topic. I remember thinking of writing a headcanon at least about Lance getting to know Ridge Forest and Jio.

Also, I decided to keep Isaac and Alesia neutral since they are not yet marriage candidates. Thank you for your question and enjoy 🫰

_________________________________________

Lance:

Though it's a beautiful forest full of various interesting flora and fauna, Lance keeps his hand on the hilt of his sword. His skin tingles slightly from the magic that wafts through the air. What's most tense is that the magic is dark, unnatural. The pink-haired adventurer had no idea that such powerful monsters and such a huge source of magic could be so close to the human settlement, Ridgeside Village. And the fact that his dearest Farmer had tread the ground of Ridge Forest more than once before genuinely amazed Lance. He knew that Farmer was a very talented person, but to single-handedly slay local monsters.... Lance marvelled. That being said, however, the second-in-command of The First Slash clan couldn't help but worry about Farmer's health even more. He's also very much interested in why the Ministry of Magic, or anyone else for that matter, has never been mentioned for this land. Still, learning something new will always intrigue Lance, and he's thrilled that his spouse will share those feelings with him.

Jio:

This place... Jio had heard of this cursed desert many times, his Lady had once mentioned it when she was looking for the 'mysterious blue man'. Suspicions that this mysterious man might have something to do with the creation of this area made him tense up. That someone, or something, could create a truly hell on earth..... Or not create, but maintain the population of these monsters, the spawns of darkness... And most importantly, how and why? This questions, by the way, is the reason why the elf first appeared in Crimson Baldlans. Jio doesn't particularly want to meet with the local adventurers from Castle Village to find out the information he needs, but wouldn't mind the company of his beloved, the Farmer, and is grateful for their help as a guide through Crimson Baldlans. Taking some local sand for Daia, collecting some monster loot and local artefacts, and learning the behaviour of certain monsters so that it will be easier to fight them in the future - jio glad that the Farmer will be able to take care of themself if they comes back here again.

Daia:

So this is the Highlands... Interesting. Daia can't wait to explore the area with her spouse, who has agreed to be her guide. She's sure there's plenty of wonderful rock, gems and interesting monsters to explore! Plus, it could be considered a date in the woods, couldn't it? And there's so many bushes for the two of them to go into- Hee hee! Okay, okay, she's just kidding. However, the Lady with the Red Tail cult member immediately brushes the jokes aside when they reach Highlights Cave. Daia doesn't doubt her and Farmer's fighting skills in the slightest, but she has a gut feeling that those who shadow people in the cave are outnumbered by dozens of times. The fight could be serious, so she'll need to be on her guard. Will also be very interested in the tower near the cove where they moored their boat, as well as the local inhabitant of this tower. The girl will have to show her eloquence to get to know the pink-haired adventurer without telling too much about herself and the Cult. Or ask her cutie Farmer!

Alesia:

Alesia couldn't remember ever travelling so far from her home, Castle Village, but Camilla had instructed her to meet the Farmer in Ridge, who would help her in exploring this new area that could hold a great source of magic (and maybe a threat to the people living nearby). She arrived at the agreed upon location, however the Farmer was already twenty minutes late. Out of boredom, the famous sniper decided to take a little walk through the forest, and her attention was attracted by the sound of a waterfall in the west. She had not expected to see such a beautiful place. The rushing water of the waterfall, the flowers and trees - Yoba humbles everyone by this beauty, untouched by human hand. The water is so clear that Alesia can see what is at the bottom. She is taken by surprise by the long fox ears that emerge from the water, and a moment later by Raeriyala herself in full height, standing on the surface of the crystal water. If the Farmer (Finally, they arrived!) had not explained to Alesia that it was a local forest spirit, the sniper would have believed for a moment that Yoba had appeared before her.

Isaac:

Spirit Realm... It's a strange place for Isaac, a man who is used to seeing a catch everywhere and being on guard. It's a very special place, and he doesn't need to be a wizard to feel the magic in the air and the presence of spirits. And the very fact that the Farmer showed him exactly how to get here - through the crystal teleporter - was unusual. Although Isaac can't understand why he agreed to visit this place and who Farmer wanted to introduce him to, but the decision has already been made, so the only thing left to do is to wait for them. And while Farmer is about to teleport to Spirit Realm, Isaac takes a moment to look around the place. It was... strange, quiet and peaceful. Green crystals, ancient columns, violet trees.... Well, the scarred adventurer has a little more time to relax and rest, enjoying the silence after all... For now.

things that i am 100000% dead serious about implementing into society yesterday no i am not joking:

get rid of borders. god didnt make this rock for us to imprison ourselves and worship made up lines in the dirt. everyone should be able to walk the earth we started existing on

under no circumstances should basic necessities have a price tag. water is free, food is free, shelter is free, medicine is free. if it ensures your survival and health it is free. period.

can we fucking accept already that different walks of life exist and its not horrible to live amongst people that dont think or live like you. embrace differences. a canvas of all colors is most beautiful bitch

if a persons actions only affect themselves, then those actions shouldnt be criminalized. does not matter if its body mods, abortions, top/bottom surgery, or even suicide. doesnt matter if you agree with it or not if someone decides to do something with their own body and their own consent, it should be allowed legally

political representatives should actually represent their constituents, so if the constituents say something like "stop fucking killing kids overseas right godamn now." then the representative is OBLIGATED to listen and obey the orders of the people that put them in office in the first place

if you work for a company or a group, you should have a say in what your labor is being used for. voting among all employees for company policy, investment choices, internal operations, etc so that every worker is heard and considered. no one owner or ceo, if you work you have a say

landback right now and obey every word that has to be said especially in regards to native flora/fauna conservation and climate change policy. collaborate with elders on social policy, education, and regional culture projects too

speaking of climate change, contract the best locomotive engineers right now and get bullet trains across all continents wherever they can be built with minimal effect on the environment. include costs of operation in taxes and make fare free. destroy all cars. kill the head of bp. put solar panels in the desert where it wont affect local flora/fauna (tho maybe additional shade spots would be good?) listen to fucking indigenous people about conservation efforts.

teach your kids today that its okay to be wrong about something and to ask questions about the world around them. build curiosity in them, especially about other people and cultures, especially now. dont be scared to ask questions yourself. be like a child experiencing the world for the first time. ask questions, be curious, be respectful, learn, gain empathy please im begging you

all art and media is free and available for everyone. you shouldnt be locked out of learning and experiencing human art because you dont have enough of a certain kind of paper. thats stupid. its stupid to gatekeep human experiences to other humans.

this is just for me, but i would want nothing more than to have food gardens in every neighborhood. food would be free anyway, but i want people to learn agriculture and to feel that unbeatable feeling of satisfaction from being sustained on what you put work into raising. its amazing and i want us all to know that feeling if we choose to experience it

So Flora Challenge: A Not So Berry Spinoff

Twitch Channel: benignsnail

Description: I started the Not So Berry Challenge and had so many ideas that just didn't quite fit in. For one I really wanted to play with a cowberry as the main theme for a generation. And I wanted the color gens to all keep the flora themed names. So I wrote a mini spinoff. And it just kept getting bigger. Including the original first two gens in the Not So Berry, this is a 50 gen challenge. I may die doing this. I plan to break it up into mini themes so it can actually be played by other people but if you're as crazy as me and want to do the whole thing here it is! Much thanks to @lilsimsie and @alwaysimming for the original challenge.

Rules:

Meant to be played after the Rose gen in Not So Berry Challenge or with a 3 generation household

Starting with your first gen you must pass down a keepsake box

Unless otherwise stated you must complete the Aspiration

Each Gen must plant its namesake somewhere on their property

No cheating unless the game bugs or the instructions include it

Exception- Gen 1 you can use relationship.create_friends_for_sim and relationship.introduce_sim_to_all_others cheats to make friends and meet your neighbors

Any leftover sims trait slots can be rolled for added fun

If your heir dies, go back to the closest save or switch to their sibling

Ignore any rules that require a pack/kit you don't have

I recommend moving your heir and all surviving family every ten generations or so to keep from breaking the save file and to get some fresh blood in the gene pool

You had every car toy possible as a kid and it still wasn't enough. Because you could never sate your curiosity about driving a car, instead you turn to building things.

So if you wanted to, you could be great, a mastermind even. You just don't have the energy or effort to do it. You don't aspire to great things like that.

You just know you'll have a love story for the ages but why settle for a townie when you could have another berry as your partner. Not the good old royal incest way though, that's a bit much.

[aziraphales-library]

I saw a comic a while ago about the story behind Crowley falling and it really interested me seeing as Crowley mentions a few times that he didn’t mean to fall and become a demon. Do you know of any fics that are based on this? Or perhaps about Aziraphale and Crowley before Crowley became a demon?

You’ll want to check out several of our tags for more fics along these lines: #pre-fall, #the fall, #aziraphale and crowley met before the fall. For now I have a couple of fics focused on Crowley’s fall, and a couple focused on Aziraphale and Crowley knowing each other in Heaven before the fall...

Stella Dei by EchoSilverWolf (G)

She watched him, nodding Her approval, as he spun color into the flora as he had once painted it upon the cosmic void. Whelped streams, and trees along their banks laden with shiny fruits. A vast array of greenery and sweet edible things to nourish the sentient creatures who still slept under the shade of what had begun as the tiny seed She had entrusted to his care.

Gravity by PinkPenguinParade (T)

And so when Lucifer and some of the others begin speaking of dissatisfaction, of things that they feel aren’t going properly, he doesn’t… agree, not precisely. When they complain of having their contributions either ignored or used in ways they hadn't planned, and all in pursuit of Mother's new projects, he doesn’t agree. But he listens, and he understands, when he comes home and hears those conversations. After all, it’s only talk.

Right up until it isn't.

Momentum Deferred by Kedreeva (T)

What if Crowley really meant it when he said he only sauntered vaguely downward? What if someone besides Aziraphale finds out he didn't really fall? What if they decide to do something about it?

Please make sure you've read the warnings, and tread carefully.

it is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves by DonttellNightwing (G)

Before the fall, Crowley and Aziraphale knew each other. Though, Crowley went by another name.

The Story Of The Angels Who Once Shared A Room by NuriaSchnee (T)

Kokabiel wants to make a friend. He doesn't know why, doesn't even know what a friend exactly is. But he knows he wants one. Also, he wants to make stars.

But new angels have to go through a few weeks of obligatory training and Kokabiel isn't excited about it. Until he learns that he'll be sharing a room with an anxious and kind angel named Aziraphale. And Kokabiel finds the friend he's been looking for.

However, there's a War coming, and everything is about to change.

Ineffable by ICanSingNoRequiem (T)

When angels in Heaven inexplicably start to Fall, Aziraphale and Jophiel struggle to survive when each moment together may be their last. As an unexpected romance blossoms between them, they soon discover that when tomorrow is no longer promised, they can finally start living for today.

- Mod D

[j7pht]

Hello, SSA main mod here.

I want to start with an apology, for not stepping in sooner with edqey. I should have played more of a role in your DM's with fae to try and defuse the situation.

I should have been more firm in saying that fae needed to walk away from faes DMs with you; I also should have been more firm in how aggressive edqey was to you wasn't okay way earlier. Not doing either was enabling their behavior and I am sorry for my part in that. Edqeys comment to you wasn't a threat - they were communicating that if you tried to attack fae, they would defend themselves. Edqey let faes anger get the better of them, and did this aggressively lashing out. This wasn't okay. I don't believe fae will do anything, but if I find out that fae are I will intervene.

While I am adverse to speaking with people in the Flora community, I also feel it to be unfair to send you something like this in private without giving you the opportunity to respond in kind. I set up a tumblr blog by the name of ssa-reachout for tumblr DMs, or just respond to this publicly. I don't mind either way, but don't expect me to try and debate you please.

hi i dont really care right now if edqey didnt believe fae were threatening me, "if i hear xyz you will regret it" sounds like a threat to everyone i know including my friends, family, and irls completely disconnected from flora, and i processed it as a threat. i think youre talking to me with a pov thats like.. you know edqey better than i do, so you have context for faer actions that i do not have, which i think is fine, i just took an extra day after seeing this to respond because this bothered me.

i genuinely felt threatened and in danger from edqey due to how fae spoke to me in tumblr dms and the fact that they took actions in the past that irked me a lot to read about, i do appreciate a lot though that you understand it wasnt okay. i intend to reach out to your account as well even though i said a lot of my thoughts here. i just... want to say something publicly because i understand that my words have somehow been twisted as like mindless drone following of glip??? and me doing some sort of other things i dont agree with which... i dont... know why this was said about me.

i can respect that you dont want to debate but i should mention that i struggle with social cues a lot and i may do stuff that comes across as debating without intending to. i also dont want to debate unless its about myself. i also intend to say this in dms but i want to say it publicly too because my trust is wearing very thin.

[shyrose57]

AU based off of Tommy’s new mod video, where after losing his last life in exile, Tommy wakes up in a lab. A lab that already holds Wilbur, Schlatt, and Mexican Dream, and has changed them.

A lab that puts venom glands in his mouth, makes it so he teleports in response to pain-changes him as they have others, until just like them, he cannot remember who he is. Who he was. 

Others come, others go, but some stay, and one day-

One day, they get out.

Meanwhile, in the Smp, L’manberg has long since become another crater in the ground, and Tubbo has long since made his peace with it(not), and tried to heal far away from all of that.

His attempts come crashing down around him when his long dead friend and company appear at his doorstep, feral and unable to recall who he is.

---------------------

The rundown:

Experiments: Wilbur, Schlatt, Mexican Dream, Tommy, Philza, Ranboo, and Charlie.

Wilbur, Schlatt, and MD died the same way, but Tommy didn’t hit the water in exile, and Philza was killed in a fight with L’manberg after he teamed up with Techno. Ranboo never came to the Smp, he was with the Lab the whole time, and so was Charlie.

All of them have basically been made into Mob chimeras. Some worse than others.

Tommy’s part Endermen, Cave Spider, Blaze, Llama, and Charged Creeper. 

From this, he has venom glands, and fangs to administer said venom, the ability to teleport-only in response to pain, the ability to spit projectiles, and explode under the right conditions, as well as spark and electrocute others. Made as a fighter, and was meant to consist solely of hostile mobs, but it made him too volatile, so Llama and Endermen were also added.

Wilbur’s part Enderdragon, Goat, Mule, Bat, Phantom, Drowned, Hoglin, Wither Skeleton, and Cod. 

Can breath dragon breathe, crush people with his head via horn, overall has increased strength and speed, capable of flight, breathing under water, climbing, phasing through walls, withering whatever he chooses, and has great hearing. He’s pretty much designed to be able to travel anywhere-End, Nether, various Overworld biomes-and fight as he does so.

Schlatt’s part Spider, Shulker, Skeleton, and Ravager.

Capable of poisoning people, climbing walls, spinning webs, causing the levitation effect, covering himself in armor like a shulker, shooting arrows without miss, and slamming others back by rushing into them. His strength and precision are deadly, which is kind of the point. Dual tank/assassin purpose.

MD’s part Panda, Dolphin, and Bee.

He can swim fast, breathe under water, locate treasures, communicate with bees, pandas, and dolphins, fly, and make flora grow faster. Honestly, was more of a test than anything else, seeing how neutral mobs would all clash together.

Charlie’s part Slime, Bee, Mule, Fox, and Strider.

He can communicate with bees and foxes, bounce, walk through lava and fire, and has increased strength, as well as agility, and night vision. Meant to be a fast messenger. 

Philza’s part Phantom, Endermen, Llama, Warden, Polar Bear, and Wither.

He can sense when someone’s awake, turn invisible, fly, spit projectiles, has increased strength and durability, cause wither effect, is immune to fire damage, heals when tosses potions of harming, has incredible hearing, and can teleport wherever he chooses. His purpose is to be powerful, as a last defense.

Ranboo’s part Ghast, Mooshroom, Elder Guardian, Wolf, Cat, Rabbit, and Iron Golem.

He’s capable of crying ghast tears, which regenerate him, throwing fire charges, growing mushrooms on his body, breathing under water, inflicting mining fatigue, locating nearby people even if under invisibility potions, has enhanced senses, strength, speed, durability, and takes no fall damage. Ranboo is pretty much the project’s most prized subject. He’s meant to be the perfect, well rounded creation, capable of not only fighting, but sustaining himself without resources, and basically being able to get back up from anything. An unstoppable force, if you will.

None of them can remember who they were. Due to often being put into experiments together, they know each other, and get along quite well, even stuck in their more instinctive states. 

They do all know that they hate the Lab, so after a few months of planning, they break out, and end up bolting through a portal in the midst of all the chaos. 

From there, they end up at Tubbo’s place.

Tubbo’s been living alone in the open taiga for about three years now, and it wasn’t really about healing at first.

Tommy had just died, Phil and Techno were picking fights with L’manberg, Dream and Quackity were both trying to get in his head, and he was being compared to Schlatt more than ever. 

Then Phil died, Techno leveled L’manberg in return, and with nothing left for him there, Tubbo just...left. Ran, and ran until he was about to collapse, and kept running until he finally felt just a smidgeon of safety from the distance.

He eventually found his way to the snowy biome, he build a cottage, and just tried to pick up the pieces of himself, while others did the same. Fundy and Eret visit once in awhile, as does Purpled, but not too often, and nobody else knows where he lives. Techno and he have more less silently agreed to pretend the other doesn’t exist under all circumstances. 

He even adopted a little zombie piglin child, and managed to cure them. Michael’s his kid, and he’s great. A little mischief maker sometimes, but great nonetheless. 

Then, on the anniversary of Tommy’s death, who should come crashing through his Nether portal but the boy in question, along with several other people he never though he’d see again, and two he doesn’t know.

None of which seem to recognize him, and almost immediately try to kill him, only being stopped by Michael coming to see what was going on, and the bees getting agitated and getting between them. 

Looking over all the people now warily watching him, completely ready to kill him if he so much as breathes wrong, Tubbo makes a decision.

He calls Technoblade.

Hello, I have a question. For uncapping, which card should I prioritize? I have dorm azul, dorm jack, dorm floyd and beans floyd! Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to your analysis everyday 🥰

I am sure if you asked each of us, we would come up with a different answer based on bias, because that is what it ultimately comes down to.

Mod Zuzu would probably most definitely say Dorm Azul. Dorm Azul is a great all arounder and is one we consider as one of the best cards you can have.

Mod Furoido and I would probably agree with each other and say Beans Floyd. That continuous heal is one of the strongest in the game.

~🐬

( 🐙: I WOULD SAY BEANS FLOYD TOOOOOO 🧍He’s a limited card after all vs perma Dorm Azul. But hey, it depends on what you need as well in what test. If your Fire tests need to be upped, Dorm Azul. If Flora tests need a raise, Beans Floyd. If you’re more worried about future main story battles, either works, but I’d say Dorm Azul. 😋)

who is musa’s best friend? I thought it was layla because they went dancing together but then winx wiki told me it was tEcHnA

Really don’t know how to phrase this without offending the Winx Wiki mods but: Don’t trust everything written on a Wiki page.

I’m sure the mods and writers of the Wiki worked hard on it and there’s a lot of details but the Wiki lacks citations. It states something but doesn’t reference where it got it from. I’m sure there’s a lot of accurate things as well but unless there’s a citation and you can use it to verify the fact, don’t take everything from there as 100% canon.

I’m guessing the fact the it states Tecna is Musa’s best friend comes from a source outside the original cartoon. Probably from some merchandise or video game.

(Speaking only on S1-4 since I haven’t watched anything from 5 to 8).  Personally, I wouldn’t consider Tecna as Musa’s best friend. I’d definitely say it’s Aisha/Layla. They were definitely closer and had a more developed relationship. Tecna and Musa have known each other longer that’s true but I think Musa and Aisha have a much more stronger bond.

It also states that Flora and Aisha are also best friends which I’m not sure I agree with. I think someone making merchandise just saw a Fairy of Nature and a Fairy of Waves and said: Hm. They’re probably best friends. The same with Tecna and Musa.

Wolf Taming Pt 35

CW: Noncon - Pain - Petplay - Manipulation - Abuse

Eos

"Has everything been filed correctly?" Eos looked at the man fidgeting in his seat. He was the man her family tended to rely on when it came to securing their slaves and making transactions. Though she was very close to replacing him.

"Yes, Mistress Eos." He said as he flipped through the papers again. "It cost quite a bit to do it, but we have Calidora registered to you as a pony. Her job registration, as always, can be changed if you end up not finding her suited to the role."

"Good." Eos sat back in her chair and relaxed. She wanted to cut off as many loose ends as she could. It was important that Z could find no loophole to grasp. I wanted them both to suffer.

A knock echoed through the room and the maid opened the door. Mimi was standing on the other side, her hand still awkwardly raised to knock again. As always, she was dressed in her pink uniform and trying to balance on her ballet boots. Despite the time she had spent on them she could never seem to balance in place for long. Not that Eos was in a hurry, Mimi was never going to wear any other kind of shoe again. Eventually she would walk perfectly, even if it took years.

"What is it, Mimi?" Eos raised her eyebrow, surprised and annoyed at the interruption.

"My apologies, Mistress Eos." She did her best to curtsy, a herculean task in what she was always dressed in. "Your niece was a tad… upset to have her plans tonight interrupted, but she has agreed to attend Lady Flora's birthday in your place as the Rosalind family's representative."

"Good. I never like having to see those two psychopaths, glad someone else has to play nice this year." Eos huffed and leaned back in her chair.

Rayne was a known monster, she never bothered to hide it. Flora kept up appearances in public, but anyone that knew her family knew exactly what she was like. In many ways she was worse than Rayne. Rayne was a prisoner to her whims and impulses. All the terrible things she did tended to just be things that popped into her twisted mind. But Flora had forethought. She knew what she was doing. She planned things out.

It was that planning that led to her horrible art pieces. Rayne was definitely more intimidating, but being targeted by her was a mercy. Rayne gave her targets a quick and excruciatingly painful death. Flora gave her targets an excruciatingly painful death, but made sure it lasted as long as possible.

"If it pleases you, I'll have the present you were planning on giving Lady Flora sent to Rhiannon so it can be given alongside the gift Rhiannon is picking up." Mimi tried to keep a pleasant look on her face. She had long gotten used to the people on the farm seeing her, but guests still made her nervous.

"Yes, yes. Have it sent. Maybe Rhiannon can make herself good for once. She's been nothing but a brat lately.” Eos waved Mimi away. She gave her owner an awkward curtsy and slowly walked away. Eos looked at the man sitting across from her and waved him away as well. “I think we’re done here, leave.”

After a stuttered farewell the man quickly left. Once she was alone she reached into her desk and pulled out a bottle of wine and a glass. She uncorked the wine and poured herself a glass, holding it up in a mock toast.

“To righting wrongs.” She said to herself with a smile. But before she could take a sip a beep came from the intercom on her desk.

“Mistress Eos?” Jude’s voice came over the intercom.

I sighed and put the glass down before pushing the button to speak. “What is it?”

“I apologize for th-” Jude began before being cut off.

“I asked what you wanted, not your apology. Why are you bothering me?” Eos felt herself getting irritated.

“Ap-” Jude started to apologize again before clearing her throat and just continuing. “Callidora appears to have woken up. Do you have any instructions on how to treat her right now?”

Eos looked up at the clock on the wall. It was getting late. New ponies were trained in the morning so they had as much of the day as they needed for their first marathon.

But Callidora had been sleeping all day.

“Start her on her introductory marathon. If she’s done before dawn she can have some sleep before her regular training begins with the rest of the ponies tomorrow.”

“Yes, Mistress Eos.” With that the intercom cut out and Eos was alone again.

She smiled and lifted her drink to her lips again. Today was truly a spectacular day. She put Z in her place and got the pony she had been planning on getting before Z sniped it from under her.

She was going to enjoy running it ragged.

Rayne

The doorbell rang out in harmony with the screams of a few maids who were struggling to stay on their feet. The ones who had their shock collars connected to the doorbell were the only ones permitted to scream like that, it helped us know when someone was at the door. We didn’t have visitors very often, but Flora’s birthday was the exception. They’d be feeling that shock dozens of times tonight.

I turned to go greet the arriving guests when an annoying obstinate voice decided to speak up. “I’m here to support Z. Nothing else.”

I turned around and smiled at Briar. “Sure. You’re sugar, spice and everything nice. All you want to do is help people, Dr. Briar. It’s why you joined the Society.” I turned back around and walked down the stairs before she had a chance to respond.

I stood at the end of the entrance hall so I could greet the guests as they arrived. Two maids stood by the door to open it whenever the doorbell rang. I sighed, it was going to be a long night. Though, the only thing that really mattered was whether Flora would have a good birthday or not. I could deal with a few guests. Probably.

The first arrival was Virgil Lurpeko. He was one of the Cerberus triplets and the son of one of the biggest families on the west coast. They siblings hated being mistaken for each other and modded themselves with different colors. Virgil had chosen red hair and eyes. He was followed close behind by two maids and a blond mutt in a red bitchsuit. One maid was holding the mutt on a leash, the other was carrying a present.

“Good evening, Master Rayne.” Virgil made a sweeping bow before straightening back up. “My father asked me to attend on his behalf as I am visiting the region.”

“I’m glad one of you could attend this year.” I tried to sound pleasant, but I didn’t try hard. The Lurpekos hadn’t sent a representative in two years to Flora’s birthday. “Maids are carrying around drinks. Place your gift on the table at the end of the room where we’ll be gathering in.” I gestured to a maid and she quickly approached and curtsied. “It will show you the way there. Make sure your mutt doesn’t make a mess or it might not be presentable for shows anymore.”

“Of course, Master Rayne. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” He nodded and followed the maid out of the room.

Another round of screams rang out with the doorbell. The maids pulled open the doors and a small woman and her butler entered. The woman had a tight brown ponytail, shadbelly, jodhpurs, and some very flashy jewelry. She looked like she had been riding horses all day. She hadn’t put any effort into being presentable for this kind of occasion.

“Greetings, Rayne.” I felt my eye twitch as the brat forgot to use the honorific appropriate for someone speaking to those of higher importance. “I am Rhiannon, a representative of the Rosalind family. My aunt, Eos, ran into some unexpected problems this evening and she was unable to attend. I’ve been sent in her place. I have brought a present of my own, along with the present Eos was going to give Flora.”

Her butler stepped forward, two presents in his arms. I ignored him and kept my eyes on Rhiannon. “It’s unfortunate that Eos could not attend, Rhiannon. I’m surprised to see you here. You are on probation, are you not? I was under the impression the Rosalind family sent their children out of the region for their probationary periods.”

“I am and we do.” The brat had the nerve to sigh at my question, annoyed that she had to talk with me. “However since I'm not in the running to be the next head of the family I've just been sent to do my probation with a metalsmith of all things because Eos thinks bridging ties to the Gia family will help us get the highest quality of accessories made for our family’s show ponies.”

“I see.” I managed to stifle a smile as I looked at the line forming behind Rhiannon and smiled as I spotted Emerald Pluto, a real metalsmith unlike that hack that Rhiannon was doing her probation with. An idea began to form in my head. “Well, give Eos my best regards. Enjoy the party.”

I snapped my fingers and a maid came to take them away. Rhiannon held her nose up high as she left, just another mistake she decided to make. The problem with people like her was that they truly believed their family ties would keep them safe.

I turned to greet the next guest, but was interrupted by a commotion by the door. A small woman was pushing her way through the line. At first I was irritated, but as she got closer I recognized her. People change their appearances all the time in the Society, it could be easy to not recognize someone. She was wearing a surprisingly nice purple dress and had stark white hair. I couldn’t help but wonder who she stole the dress from.

A few of the maids looked nervous and moved to block her path, but I held up a hand and they backed off. “Scout, so glad you could come. I see you decided you couldn’t wait in line.”

“Apologies.” She made a sweeping, mocking, bow before straightening back up. I always liked her spunk. “I was just trying to get here as fast as I could. I didn’t want the party to have to wait for me. Besides, I wanted Flora to see her present as soon as possible so I can get the process started.”

Scout held up a folder that I pulled out of her hand. She let go with little resistance. It had profiles of some people in the surrounding cities. I smirked, Scout probably managed to get Flora a nicer gift than most of the people here. Her job was her namesake, she scouted out locations and people to abduct. She sold these profiles to members to help them get the best game out of the city before it was over hunted and capturing rights in the area were temporarily suspended to help avoid suspicion.

“These are wonderful, Scout. I’ll set these aside to show Flora tonight.” I tucked the folder under my arm before continuing. “Though perhaps you can help us with a bit of entertainment tonight. I have use for your other gifts.”

Scout flashed a smile and tilted her head. “Oh? What exactly do you need?”

“We’ll talk in a bit.” I snapped my fingers and another maid appeared to guide her through the mansion. She smirked at me before walking off with the maid.

Scout was one of the few people I’d tolerate this kind of behavior from. She was one of the few people who had no qualms about getting Flora and myself exactly what we wanted. Most of the requisition teams and scouts we tried to hire got nervous when we told them what we’d be doing to the people they captured. Their morals would suddenly surface. Luckily Scout had none and it was going to make this party quite a bit of fun.

Flora

Z stumbled around the room like a newborn fawn as I had her try on shoes. I had to keep lowering the heel until one of my maids finally found a suitable pair of pumps for her to wear. It wasn’t exactly elegant, but I didn’t want her knocking over any of the art or accidentally pulling things off the tables.

“I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone have quite the issues you are.” I said, laughing a bit. “If one of my maids were having these problems I’d just make them a new art piece instead.”

“Apologies.” She sat down on a nearby stool and rubbed her temples. “I’ve never worn things like this before. I never exactly had much money to afford something as nice as this dress you’ve so kindly gifted me. The auction house only gave members of my rank one percent of what the slave we broke sold for. When Rayne graciously passed on her epithet to me I got fifty percent which allowed me to eventually leave and buy a house. Getting used to clothing for events like these was far down the list, partially because I never imagined I would be invited to something like this.”

I wasn’t surprised. Z was good at what she did, but no one could mistake her for high society material. That dress was probably the most expensive thing she had ever worn given the suit she arrived in may as well have been rags. Had my raindrop not given up her lovely epithet she’d still be living in the gutters. I had been livid that she had given it up at first, but the controversy of someone giving away their epithet had been quite entertaining. If anything it brought us more attention than when she had it.

I looked up at the clock, the party had technically started an hour ago. Though

Briar

The guests had poured in over the last half an hour. She recognized most of them, only the big names would get to come to a gathering like this. Many of them brought a slave with them. Some were accompanied by a maid or butler. They were kept busy catering to their owner’s every whim. They fetched food and drinks for their owners and held whatever was needed so their owners could keep their hands open. I watched Rhiannon drop an empty champagne glass to her floor, her butler reacting just in time to catch it.

Some brought their pets. I watched a man with fiery red hair accompanied by a dog girl in a red latex bitchsuit. For her to be at this event she must have been a prized slave, but that didn’t stop him from kicking her when he accidentally tripped over her. I looked away from the sight. Breaking people never bothered me really, it was the unnecessary cruelty that bothered me. Virgil was known for being fairly violent, a big departure from how his brothers operated.

People didn’t even bat an eye when he acted out like that. It was to be expected from members like him. A few people still approached and asked to pet his dog. She was smart enough not to make a scene as some random members stroked her hair, but she was obviously uncomfortable. Pets were always expected to be happy and outgoing, I doubt this one was going to escape a punishment for her demeanor once the party ended.

One of the odder sights was two short women running around the room. They were dressed similar to each other, though one was dressed in purple while the other in pink. Given their cavalier attitudes I assumed they were members until I saw they were wearing collars. I watched the one in purple bump into a guest who immediately grabbed onto her collar. At best I was expecting some fairly painful injuries. At worst… well it was the house of Rayne and Flora. I watched some of the crowd part as a rather large woman approached the man from behind. She towered over most of the people at the party. She wasn’t hard to recognize. Her name was Diana, she was another power player in the region. The man lifted his hand to hit the slave he was holding, only for Diana to grab his wrist before he could bring it down.

Based on the yell that resonated through the room she must have snapped his wrist. He let go of the slave's collar and turned around. After an awkward moment it appeared he was apologizing to her for what happened. Her maid quickly rounded up the two slaves and ushered them off to another corner of the room. After humbling himself to her she turned and walked off to join her slaves.

There were scenes like these happening all across the room. Powerful people making deals, flashing their status and enjoying the luxuries the Society afforded them. It was a typical Society party and this place was a powder keg. I knew Rayne and Flora well enough to know they were planning on lighting a fuse somewhere. I just didn’t know where.

A sudden hush fell over the crowd and I looked towards the staircase. Flora was walking down, Z following a bit behind. Most people didn’t recognize Z despite her epithet. I could hear the muted mutters of the crowd wondering who she was and why she seemed to have received special attention from Flora. Most people who knew the real Flora didn’t really want her attention, but making connections with her was a sure fire way to climb the ranks.

Rayne walked out of the crowd and climbed the stairs. She met Flora halfway down the stairs. She lifted Flora’s hand and gave it a kiss before joining her on the same step.

Flora looked at the crowd like a queen surveying her subjects. “Welcome everyone for attending my birthday party. It’s an event I obviously look forward to every year and I’m always glad to see familiar faces in the crowd.”

Rayne walked her the rest of the way down the stairs with Z following close behind. Once they were off the staircase Z was fairly well hidden behind the couple. “Last year I had a fantastic banquet. This year I decided on something a bit more low-key. Maids will be carrying various assortments of food and drinks around the room for the next hour or so. Feel free to eat, drink and congregate as you wish.”

On cue four doors leading into the room opened and two dozen maids entered carrying various trays of food and drink. I reached over and grabbed a drink off the tray of a passing maid and took a sip. I was going to need it.

“Let’s have a wonderful evening everyone! Let’s make it one every one of us is going to remember for years to come.”

TS4 Werewolves - Rant Alert

I got this one comment that sent me off on a whole tangent, so I decided to reply to it separately.

slade-the-neko replied to your photoset “The Wolves:This world is slowing down How can I fight it? How can I?...”

Dang Murf, that's very impressive! Really makes me wish Sims 4 had werewolves. I'll definitely try porting the Skyrim model to TS4 if they ever add them.                    

Y’all know TS4 is my trigger -- wtF is EA even doing over there? That Tiny Living Stuff Pack was a JOKE, like....seriously? o_O For as much money as they’re swindling y’all for TS4, EA’s Sims team is creatively BANKRUPT. ZERO innovation, intuition or inspiration.

EA just takes popular concepts/crazes like the Tiny House Movement, Baby Yoda, and Harry Potter, and waters it down to the barest of minimums: tiny homes with huge AF Murphy beds instead of bunk beds or convertible futons/sofa-beds; a decorative Baby Yoda you can’t even interact with; no school of magic sims can go to (and no magic for kids YET). I’m so tired of them!

People keep comparing RoM to TS1′s Makin Magic, and I keep going WHERE? I said in my initial trailer reaction for RoM that it made zero frikkin sense for the RoM magic land to have that perma-nighttime full moon, without even bothering to have werewolves in the so-called realm of magic.

RoM would’ve been the PERFECT chance to add werewolves. What better way to have a magical pack than to also introduce werewolves as the local denizens of Glimmerbrook’s forests. Missed opportunity, EA. (－‸ლ) 

They could’ve added a werewolf household living in the woods, that your sim either befriends or gets bitten by, so your sim goes to the Magical Realm to either find a cure for lycanthropy (for the werewolves or for THEMSELVES if they’re bitten and are gonna turn in a couple days), or wolfsbane poisoning if one of the wolves is made sick by the brand new harvestable Wolfsbane *cough cough!* (Wolfsbane comes in the Vampires GP, but they could‘ve totally made more types of Wild Wolfsbane, Yellow Aconite, Purple Monkshood, etc.).

Either one would give your sim a REAL impetus and incentive to go learn magic and talk to the RoM residents and mess with potions & alchermy. Which is another reason I said (I’ve BEEN saying) I wanted HEDGE WITCHES, who could do HERBOLOGY. U_U

The RoM Game Pack NEEDED to be its own Expansion -- it wasn’t a realm at all; it was a Diagon Alley ripoff and everybody knew it. HELLO, EA! Part of worldbuilding is creating a EFFING STORY that gives your game a FRIKKIN PURPOSE. EA didn’t go the distance at all; they did the mere basics of adding magic to TS4, with a lot of style but not much substance. But ironically they did the same with the mermaids, which did get their own EP, and everyone agrees that TS4′s Island Living was worse than TS3′s Island Paradise, so wtf. (－‸ლ) 

But I doubt werewolves would get their own Game Pack like the Vampires & Spellcasters -- EA would do Faeries/Elves before wolves, I suspect, cuz faeries are in a sense easier. Wings, mushrooms & flowers, glittery magic, LOTR-esque art nouveau inspired furniture, etc -- everyone knows the standard faery.

But if TS4 werewolves got a pack all to themselves it would force EA to effing give a crap about lycan culture & lore, and the complexities of things like pack dynamics (alphas, betas, omegas, etc), moon cycles, transformations, lupine physiology & locomotion; diet & hunting (adding new flora & fauna), etc.

While heavy in gameplay expansion, with werewolf-specific abilities, interactions & animations, what other stuff could you stuff into a werewolf stuff pack? Y'all saw how in TS3 the Supernatural EP didn’t give wolves a single bloody thing other than their CAS stuff -- for build/buy mode wolves got ZILCH. We didn’t get busted furniture or shattered windows or blood splatters or more fur patterns -- NOTHING. Everything in build/buy mode was for witches & faeries--all wolves could do was tear the crap up with their claws.

And even their CAS stuff was lackluster - no hairy skins, makeup or tails, but we got body hair & face sliders, claws, fangs, etc.

I like TS1's werewolf design from Makin Magic the most, since their heads/skins looked like wolves.

TS2′s was the biggest downgrade in terms of the LOOK of werewolves, in that it was just a skin.

If EA does do wolves for TS4, I’d hope they make it so the werewolves look like effing WOLVES. At least let them turn into animals, like the ones in TS2 PETS. (WHY TF was TS2 the only time Sims had ACTUAL magical pets!? >_< TS3 has dogs! TS4 has dogs! DO IT ALREADY.)

Considering the cartoony PG13 angle EA insists on keeping TS4, I don’t imagine they’d EVER make wolves look like @camkitty2​’s amazing werewolf mod at MTS:

And certainly not the scary Skyrim werewolves that I converted.

Or even the ones from EA’s other property, Dragon Age (which are effing ugly, IMO).

(The ugly anthropomorphic bipedal version, btw, not the more wolf-like version.)

TBH, If TS4 did werewolves at all I BET YOU MONOPOLY MONEY the template EA’d use would be a lot like Bigby Wolf’s design from the Wolf Among Us video game:

Bigby goes through 4 phases, from man to gradually being an actual wolf in his 4th phase/Final Form. His 3rd phase has a face that not really wolf-like so much as Jekyll/Hyde; beastly enough that you pretty much know Oh that’s a werewolf they’re doing, without it actually looking like any animal.

It’s big and scary with muscles & claws & hair, but cartoony enough that it’s not drastically different from a regular sim. EA’s wack enough to pull something like that, rather than going the extra mile to give us the kind of Skyrim-esque werewolves many simmers want.

Or the full-shift magical WOLF that I personally want.

Don’t get me wrong; Bigby has a great design for Wolf Among Us, made by AA developers Telltale (who do The Walking Dead video games). But Electronic fArts is a AAA developer, with billion dollar budgets, massive teams & bookoo resources. But by god EA’s the laziest AAA company around; just the kind of twats to do AA level work with AAA finances, as we’ve seen in TS4 and TS3.

Bigby’s 2nd phase is basically what TS3 did for werewolves, with the scrunched up brow/nose, pointed ears, hairier face, etc.

This kind of werewolf design is fine, but it leaves A LOT to be desired, especially if it’s the only form you see in certain werewolf franchises. It reminds me too much of how Teen Wolf makes werewolves -- basically as hairier vampires from Buffy (which makes sense). But come on EA, go the distance; go FULL WOLF SHIFT or go home.

In Eastern Europe werewolves ARE vampires/witches -- they’re connected to nature magic, druids & wicca, neopaganism, etc: magic runes & symbols, stones & metals, scyring, bonfire festivals (having Celtic holidays would be so cool!), enchanted woods & nemetons & ley lines, the effect of moonlight on water #TuckEverlasting style, shamanistic sacred animal totemic power and such. Tap into that tribalistic Slavic, Norse & Celtic lore on werewolves, EA, you effing COWards!

In TS1′s Makin Magic and TS3′s Supernatural, witches and werewolves came in the same pack, and had gameplay elements tied to each other -- in TS1 it’s the Beauty & the Beast charm that magical sims can use, and in TS3 werewolves can be used as witches’ assistants to Gather harvestables/collectables used in alchemy potions. So for TS4, having werewolves in RoM would’ve made SO MUCH sense. Hell, they could’ve fit into the Vampire GP, too -- why was wolfsbane even IN that pack? o_O

So if TS4 adds werewolves, I hope they add something NEW to the lifestate, and do more research into other portrayals & iterations of werewolves.

Everyone knows about Norse Berserkers (were-bears), but less attention is given to the Wolves of Odin, the Ulfhednar/Ulfhedinn (werewolves). A lot of Nordic neopagans are into them nowadays.

A werewolf GP would make it so EA would have to flesh out werewolves -- if they live in the woods, give them woodland build/buy mode CC. Let them live OFF THE GRID as technophobic naturists, cuz electronics like tvs, PCs & radios hurt their sensitive eyes & ears. They could be more modern, sure, but it would be so much cooler to have sims who only use well water and hot springs and compost toilets and woodfire ovens.

Bring back hobbies/skills like bone/woodcarving, gem cutting, basket weaving & looms, soap/candle-making, pottery, horticulture, tree-cutting/tree-hugging, animal husbandry (could you imagine werewolf shepherds? XD), sparring, (arm) wrestling, boxing, hunting, bird watching and more. Basically: fullblown medieval-rustic hunting lodge aesthetics: animal pelts, antlers, mounted taxidermy, COME ON, EA, stop being boring!

FALLOUT VAULT 101 LOGO MOD

There is an alternative texture for the mod found here.Inhabitants chose to remain in isolation for over a century until a water leak forced them to open for trade Vault was subsequently massacred and taken over by the Fiends The helm itself can be worn with either of the Advanced Recon Nightvision units, as it does not have any optics of its own.

FALLOUT VAULT 101 LOGO PATCH

There is a patch for FWE and one for my own Advanced Recon Thermal Nightvision mod (giving water breathing to the helm only). The stats on the armor are identical to the normal enclave armor, but the helm has less damage resistance (due to being open) and does not have the charisma penalty (because it looks less terrifying). People seemed to like it even though it is a little over the top, so I agreed to upload it.

FALLOUT VAULT 101 LOGO SERIES

Ok, this is basically a custom mod I made for my own Let's Play Fallout 3 series with a character named Will. So he quickly modified the helm to allow this. But even with the color change he was never happy with the helmet, as the one thing he found he loved about being in the outside world was the feel of the wind in his hair. An earlier escapee from 101 customized some Enclave Power Armor to bear the 101 logo and colors. You and your father are not the first people to leave vault 101 and evidence of this can be found in the laboratory of the Brotherhood of Steel Citadel (near the workbench).

my opinion here, you being between both ends of the conversation and sharing a space with someone (glip, perhaps others on the server such as those who accompanied them on their recent podcasts) who’s either OK with your continued engagement with their own detractors or actively facilitating your conversations with them seems stressful? regardless of who you feel is telling the truth at least ask yourself if this sort of confrontation with others or the kinds of conversations community members you’re currently in touch with often have on what many would consider dark/upsetting topics are ones you want to keep having down the line.

just as much as you have the freedom to choose to participate you also have the freedom to decide when you’ve had enough of playing a role in other people’s fights, i can’t tell you to leave flora but i can at least tell you to try being more mindful of the kinds of people, activities, and conversations you choose to partake in… believe it or not this kind of stuff can wear you down even when you think you’re handling it all fairly well as of now.

i was actually told that i was being treated wrongly if anything, and someone later stepped in and stated that it didnt make sense to continue to speak here, and re: facilitation there was nothing being facilitated, accept maybe by me? i shared details i thought were relevant if i needed to ask a question, prompted a multi-person search for things esp in channels i didnt have access to, and i was willing to add pengo and ash to a discussion i was having to make things easier for me.

i take long breaks between going on tumblr and leaving, i assure you im doing fine for myself (as best as i can), i appreciate the concern. i dont want to leave flora at the moment. i try to be very mindful of who i speak to and why i decide to speak to them. in flora spaces i spend most of my time roleplaying and occasionally talk in the general channels, but this isnt really a common thing for me to do. i also am very close with my brother and cousin who both *like* flora but arent active members of the community, those two and other very close friends who i trust to be able to let me know if im being concerning (like if im not handling something well).

i didnt really... want confrontation. i wanted to take in information that i agreed with were flaws/bad things that happened in the flora servers and bring them up to the mods.

idk if this is a good response i apologize if it skips stuff over or anything or assumes things? i cant parse this message well, let me know if i did (the aforementioned)

1. I have a strong aversion to the Wasteland Flora Overhaul mod for FNV. I won’t tell anyone what they can or can’t do to their game, like, mod to whatever aesthetic you want, I won’t judge, your game is for your enjoyment not mine, but I will rant at a drop of a hat about this mod because the plants are all wrong. Like, saguaro are a Sonora Desert plant, not a Mojave plant. (The Mojave is way too dry for saguaro to grow unless it’s in someone’s landscaping being irrigated.) Bristlecone pines only occur in high elevations. Juniper trees likewise don’t grow in the desert basins. And other ecological weirdness that makes the end result of the mod look nothing whatsoever like the Mojave. And it’s weird because there are plants in the Mojave that aren’t in vanilla game that could have been put in a plant mod to add trees and make the scenery more interesting (fucking invasive tamarisk would probably take over the entire shoreline of Lake Mead and half the washes without the currently existing government programs to try to keep it in check, there’s also some escaped palm trees that went native, cat’s claw acacia in the washes…) So there’s all this great rendering work but what seems like very little care about what the Mojave actually looks like. So when I see screenshots with the mod, it looks kind of like a freaky surrealist place where biomes don’t make sense.

2. I currently have a personal policy of never reblogging any of the ooc “reblog this if you think kicking puppies is bad/support free ice cream for all/agree that nuclear waste shouldn’t be dumped into rivers/insert topic of the day here.” Even though I usually do agree with the ooc reblogging statements I see. The main reason I don’t reblog is because as I see it, this is my RP blog, not my soapbox (I say as I do a meme that’s all about soapboxing my opinions…). But it’s also partly because…being in a very fortunate position in my life/career where I have a steady income and middle class stability, I feel like if I think kicking puppies is bad then I should be donating to the puppy defense fund and pushing for anti-kicking legislation not reblogging on tumblr.

Are these for the alien ' hood you were planning?

yeah! i’m still experimenting with different looks and traits that different types of aliens might have + coming up with histories and cultures for them. once i have a few examples of each type and their info worked out i plan on making a post detailing them all, mostly for my own reference but hopefully someone else will find it interesting. i’m in way over my head honestly...

also.....

simblu replied to your photoset “starting a new hood with lots of aliens”

And yes, alien hoods are fun to plan. Lots of scope for the imagination. I do wish we all had more crazy otherworldly sky mods to choose from.. such a limited range at the mo. That's partly why I 'shop my pix as much as I do.. to get SOME variation going on

i agree with this completely and i plan to do what i can about that very soon! (+ a bunch of new alien flora because i always need more plants) and thank you for all your nice comments! your game definitely helped inspire this new neighborhood i’m working on and i’m just really excited about it  (*´▽`*)

p.s. my inbox has been giving me a really hard time so if there are any wcifs or messages i haven’t answered feel free to ask again, preferably through reply or chat but whatever works. not trying to ignore anyone!
