BECAUSE SINGING KILLED MY GRANDMA, OK?

Iwaizumi Hajime/Reader | 0.7k words, established relationship, trolls reference

“I can’t believe you spent ¥6500 on this. On a kid’s toy,” Iwaizumi emphasises as if that’ll somehow change your mind or make you regret your financial decision.

“It’s not a kid’s toy, it’s a grown adult karaoke machine made for grown adults who can make grown adult decisions with their grown adult money.” You flop onto the floor of your living room, motioning with your hand for him to take the spot beside you before taking your latest purchase out of its packaging.

“I can see the box. It literally says ‘Kids Karaoke Machine with 2 Microphones, Voice Changer, & Flashing Lights,’” he says, watching you fidget around with the buttons on the karaoke machine.

“Oh, so you can read. Big deal.”

You feel him swat the back of your head as he settles down next to you.

“Don’t purposefully miss my point. Besides that, I thought I told you that my money is your money and you could use my card for anything. Even this, as ridiculous as it is.”

When you turn to glance at him for a second, you’re amused to see that he’s pouting: faint but for sure there. You think he’d burst a blood vessel if you pointed that out though, so you keep the observation to yourself, responding, “You never said that I had to use your card. Just that I could.”

Honestly, you’re not too sure how this is supposed to work, but you must have done something right at some point because suddenly the machine lights up in an assortment of colours with a sparkly-sounding noise. An eager grin stretches across your face as you bring the mic up to your mouth.

“Testing, one, two, three. Ooh, I’m loving the reverb on this,” you say, turning to Iwaizumi and waggling your eyebrows at him. “With this, I can serenade you every night before bed. Or if that’s not quite your lane, I’ll recite poetry in your ear Rupi Kaur style.”

Tongue poking the inside of his cheek in an attempt to hide a smile, he responds dryly, “Actually, I’d like none of the above, please and thank you.”

“Oh, come on, Haji. You have to admit it, this is soooo worth it. Now we gotta sing.”

“Sing?” he repeats as you shove a microphone into his hands and hold the other close to your face while you hunch over to pick a song. “I don’t sing.”

“Why? Because singing killed your grandma?”

Iwaizumi heaves the biggest sigh you’ve ever heard, the kind that probably could’ve started an earthquake had it lasted just a second longer. You’re pretty sure that doesn’t make any sense, but whatever.

“You can just do a solo performance,” he suggests after a moment, “since you’re the one who bought it. I’ll cheer you on from the sidelines.”

You frown. Although you’d appreciate the unconditional support offered to you, the idea is not as appealing as the thought of your boyfriend singing into a sparkly pink microphone.

“That’s so boring, though.”

A comically large, hemorrhoid-like irk mark materialises on his forehead in a cartoon-ish manner. “Then, why did you—“

“Plus, wouldn’t it be so romantic if we did a duet together?” You sigh wistfully and then answer your own question without giving him the chance to answer, “Yeah. It would be so romantic. Like in the movies, my angelic singing voice’ll impress you so much that you fall in love with me all over again or something.”

“Fine,” he concedes eventually. However, before you can shoot up to stand on your feet and starting performing some weird celebration dance at your victory, he holds up his pointer finger, making sure that you’re seeing it very clearly. “Just one song.”

Raising your eyebrows, you hold up two fingers and waggle them enticingly. “Two songs?”

“One song.”

Eventually, you compromise on one and a half, although Iwaizumi knows that’s not reasonable and he ends up singing the entirety of the second song anyway—but who’s counting?

(And even later, after way more than two songs—when the both of you are singing along to the instrumental of one of your favourite songs and you keep insisting that he’s the one who’s off-key, not you, obviously—he could hardly complain. Because it’s you, and as silly as he feels holding a microphone the size of his thumb, he can’t think of any other way he’d rather spend his evenings.)

author’s note: this is so mid but it’s been sitting in my drafts for Too Long…

TS3 Music Note Default Replacement

Hullo! I come bearing gifts in the form of not-crunchy music notes.

When @papermint-airplane put out a call to see if anyone knew of a replacement for the music notes that emanate from musical instruments in TS3, I immediately wanted to make one, since I've always hated how awful the texture looks, and I've never seen a replacement for them. Previews are below (make sure to click on the images for the full size versions, as Tumblr of course screws up the quality of them).

These are upscaled 5x from the vanilla version and partially hand-painted (i.e. I traced over the very pixelated vanilla notes at a higher res, but they are slightly different than the originals) and Compressorized. You can pop these in your Packages folder, and they should work fine with any other headline effect replacements (I tested with this one specifically and had no issue, despite S3Dash flagging it as a conflict), but if you're unsure, stick this file in your Overrides folder instead.

DOWNLOAD: Simblr.cc | Mediafire | SimFileShare

CREDITS

EA for the original texture, obviously

Medibang Paint Pro

Adobe Photoshop

@papermint-airplane for the inspiration to make this mod

Dangerous woman

Bruce Wayne x Singer!Reader

Bruce Wayne hated being there. An upscale bar, dull conversation, and sycophantic partners — all part of the PR package he loathed. But then she stepped onto the stage. Hypnotic, confident, with a voice that felt more like a spell. He didn’t know her, but the moment their eyes met, he knew he couldn’t leave without truly getting to know her.

I was thinking about making this story a trilogy, since I have some cool ideas for it. Let’s see how it performs, if you guys like it, I will continue!

English isn't my first language, so there might be some spelling mistakes.

He hated being there. Damn it, he had practically been forced to join that thing under the excuse that it was "good for business." They said the closer he was to the partners, the better it would be for Wayne Enterprises. So, they arranged to meet at an expensive Gotham bar — the kind of place only the elite frequented. But everything was so unbearably boring that he genuinely considered leaving and to hell with business.

–Have you guys seen who’s performing tonight? – one of them asked, twirling a ridiculously expensive drink in his hand with a crooked smile.

–Y/N– He added, his grin widening in a lewd way.

–Dude, she’s hot. They say her voice is like a siren’s.

— I’ve seen her sing, I can confirm. She’s hypnotizing- said another.– I got hard just watching her — the voice, the body, the face... she’s a goddess. I’d pay a fortune for one night with her.

Bruce paid more attention now, despite hating the way they spoke about her like she was an object. Still, he was curious

–And you, Mr. Wayne, have you ever seen her? – one of the partners asked.

–No – he answered dryly.

– Well, tonight you’re about to find out what paradise is like.

Bruce shrugged, detached from the disgusting conversation still going on around him. He simply sipped his drink, silently wishing time would speed up and bring the socially acceptable moment for him to get up and disappear through the door.

That was when the sound of a microphone being turned on caught his attention. Some people stood and excitedly moved closer to the stage.

–Good evening, everyone, our star of the night is ready for another show- someone announced enthusiastically.

Applause and whistles echoed through the room, and then she appeared. Bruce saw her step out from behind the curtain with a captivating smile and elegant waves. For a moment, time seemed to stop.

He had never seen someone so mesmerizing. Her curls fell over her shoulders, framing her face like something hand-drawn. Her makeup highlighted each feature perfectly, and the red lipstick made her lips look like a forbidden invitation. The dress hugged her curves precisely, and the heels added a touch of sensuality to each step. It was impossible to look at you and not think: how could a woman be this divine?

–Hello, everyone. I hope you're excited for the show.– Your voice filled the room, sweet and firm, prompting more applause and cheers.

Bruce’s heart picked up speed.

–What do you say we sing together?– you asked, smiling as you held the mic tighter.

The instrumental began, and the moment your voice filled the air, Bruce was certain: he could spend the rest of his life listening to you sing and never get tired.

Don’t need permission

Made my decision to test my limits

Cause it’s my business

God as my witness, start what I finished

Don’t need no hold up

You sang, and everyone’s attention was on you, but it didn’t seem to faze you. Your voice flowed sweet and powerful. The stage felt like your home — you moved and interacted with the crowd and the band with such ease. He couldn’t help but admire it — your confidence, his eyes locked on you.

Taking control of this kind of moment

I’m locked and loaded

Completely focused, my mind is open

Bruce felt his heart race. Your voice... it was a spell he didn’t want to resist. He practically wished to fall under your enchantment.

All that you got, skin to skin

Oh, my God, don’t you stop, boy

Without realizing, his feet moved, ignoring the men calling after him asking where he was going. He headed for the bar closest to the stage. The music flowed like it was part of you, and every note sent into the air seemed to pull him closer.

Something ‘bout you

Makes me feel like a dangerous woman

Your eyes scanned the crowd, recognizing the familiar faces of regulars, and the strangers who looked just as entranced. But one in particular caught your attention — eyes staring at you with intensity. It was different from the hungry, filthy looks you’d gotten used to ignoring. That man wasn’t devouring you. He was watching you with admiration — curious, enchanted.

You smiled back at him, returning his gaze, feeling butterflies in your stomach from the intensity before you turned toward the other side of the stage.

Something ‘bout you

Makes me wanna do things that I shouldn’t

You kept singing, but your eyes drifted back to that handsome man from time to time. He looked at you with such admiration that you couldn’t help yourself — it was like you were singing just for him.

Bruce felt the impact of your gaze straight in his chest. That wasn’t fleeting attraction; it was unlike anything he’d ever felt. It wasn’t about the dress, or your body, or the lipstick. It was the way you owned the space effortlessly, how your voice carried emotion in every syllable, how your eyes seemed to read his across the crowd.

You sang a few more songs before the final chord rang out. Applause filled the venue as you thanked the audience with a smile and left the stage to head backstage. Bruce followed you with his eyes until the last possible second, and then, the silence that came after your absence was deafening.

He ran a hand over his face, trying to collect himself. He, Bruce Wayne, shaken like that by someone he barely knew? That was far from normal.

But then again, you weren’t.

He couldn’t resist.

He needed to understand what was happening. He stood and walked toward the backstage area. Of course, being Bruce Wayne made things easier — just one word and the security guard let him through as if he owned the place.

You were seated in front of the vanity, a glass of water in your hand, shoulders slightly damp from the effort. Still smiling, wrapped in the good energy from another show. This was what you loved.

But the soft footsteps behind you made you turn... and there he was.

Taller than you expected. And even more handsome up close than in any photo.

–You sing like an angel – he said, his voice deep and husky, hitting you hard.

You smiled, and he faltered for a second. He looked like a teenager completely smitten.

–Thank you, Mr. Wayne–you replied, standing and walking over to him. The height difference was staggering, and you had to tilt your head up to meet his eyes. God, he must be close to two meters tall.

–You know who I am?– he asked, half-teasing.

–Hard not to. You’re on every channel in Gotham- you said with a sharp smile.–What brings the famous Bruce Wayne here tonight?

–A business meeting Informal.- he replied with a light grimace. – I hated every second. But now... I’m glad I didn’t leave earlier. I would’ve missed the chance to hear you sing.

–I’m flattered to hear that.

–Now even to your dressing room, the desire to know you more deeply

You blushed slightly but quickly composed yourself.

–Would you join me for a drink?- he asked, no pretense. Almost desperate for a few more minutes with you.

–And your partners? Won’t they mind you disappearing?

–They’ll deal with it. I only care about the fact that you’re still here –he said, eyes locked on yours.

You let out a soft laugh, a bit shy, but charmed.

–Sure... why would I turn down an invitation like that?

He smiled, and in a natural gesture, held out his hand. You took it — and let him lead you toward the bar, where the night, apparently, was just beginning.

The bar wasn’t as full as before; it had thinned out after your performance, the buzz quieter now, but the soft lighting and background music created an almost intimate atmosphere.

Bruce chose a corner table, away from curious eyes.

He pulled out a chair for you, which you thanked him for and sat down.

–So...– he began, as the waiter brought the drinks. – How long have you been singing?

–Since i was a kid, I think. Before I even understood what a musical note was, I was turning my house into a stage and making my mom watch, – you replied with a nostalgic smile. – But it’s only in the last few years that I’ve made a living from it. Gotham is tough on many people, including artists. It wasn’t easy getting to sing in a bar like this.

— They recognized your talent. Your voice is far too enchanting to stay hidden — he said, without taking his eyes off you.

You felt the heat rise in your cheeks, but kept your composure. You weren’t easily intimidated, but that gaze... it was as if he could see beyond what you showed.

— And you? — you asked, playfully. — Have you always been the mysterious, charming billionaire in the tabloids?

— Charming? — he raised an eyebrow, slightly amused. — That’s a new one.

— Hard to believe no one’s told you that before.

— Maybe... but it’s never sounded as good as it does now. — he replied, his deep voice making the words feel more intimate than they should.

— Can I ask you something? — he said, more serious now.

— Sure.

— When you were singing... it felt like you were looking right at me. Was that just my imagination?

You hesitated for a second. But decided not to lie.

— It wasn’t. You had this... intense look. It caught my attention.

Bruce gave a slight, satisfied smile.

— Good to know the feeling was mutual. Now I just want to find out everything I can about you... if you’ll let me.

His gaze was intense, and you wanted to savor every second. The conversation between you flowed like you’d known each other forever, so effortless and captivating that you barely noticed time passing. The bar, once crowded and noisy, was now nearly empty — it was practically just the two of you and the distant sound of ambient music.

— I should go... — you murmured, glancing around. — This late, getting a cab is going to be nearly impossible.

— I can take you home. — he offered, without hesitation.

— I don’t want to be a bother...

— What kind of man would let you walk out alone at this hour in a city like Gotham? — he raised an eyebrow, a faint smile on his lips. — And honestly, I’d love a few more minutes with you.

The way he said it made your heart race. You smiled, finally giving in.

With your bag in hand, you followed him to the car — and almost sighed at the sight of the luxurious model parked there. Not even in your wildest dreams did you imagine stepping into a car like that. Bruce opened the door for you, his hand warm and firm as it lightly touched your back to help you in. It was a simple gesture, but so intimate it made you hold your breath for a second.

The ride was peaceful. The city passed by outside, but inside the car, the world felt quiet and calm. The conversation remained light, full of smiles and lingering looks that lasted a beat longer than necessary. It was like there was a bubble around the two of you — and for some reason, it felt like the only place you were meant to be.

When you arrived, Bruce was quick to get out and open the door for you like a gentleman. Your home was simple, but cozy. He looked around for a moment, curious, before turning his gaze back to you.

— Thank you for bringing me home. — you said, a genuine smile on your lips.

— Thank you for letting me. — he replied, eyes locked on yours.

For a moment, silence fell between you again. But this time, it was full of possibilities.

His eyes were fixed on you, and there was something in them… like he was memorizing you from the inside out.

— Are you always this much of a gentleman, or are you just trying to impress me? — you asked, tilting your head slightly, arms crossed in a casual gesture, but with a teasing smile on your lips.

He smirked before replying provocatively:

— Only when it's worth impressing.

— Oh... so I’m special? — you raised an eyebrow. — And here I thought Bruce Wayne didn’t get shaken.

— I don’t. Usually. — he said. — But you... you’re not exactly easy to ignore.

You took a step closer, locking eyes with him. Your gaze danced between his eyes and mouth, teasing.

— You sure you don’t say that to everyone you meet?

— Only to one in particular. — He moved in closer, now so near you could feel the warmth of his body. — And even then, I still feel like I’m not saying enough.

— Hmm... — you lightly bit your lip, then smiled mischievously. — Maybe you’ll need to do more to convince me.

— Oh, yeah? — he smiled, now even closer — close enough that one more step and you’d be pressed against him. — And what should I do about that?

You looked at him with a sweet, wicked glint in your eyes, rising up on your toes to whisper in his ear:

— Surprise me.

He felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and didn’t hesitate before closing the gap, pulling you by the waist. You instinctively rose on your toes again as he leaned in and met your soft lips. When it happened, it felt like everything fell into place — it felt right, the two of you, as if the universe had held its breath waiting for this exact moment.

The kiss was intense. His hands gripped you firmly, and yours found their place on his neck and face, almost trying to pull him even closer, even though you were practically already fused together. It was insane how much you wanted him, and he felt the same, just as intensely.

Every second of that kiss screamed that you were made for each other, like the rest of the world simply faded away for a moment. Time stopped, and all that remained was the heat, the touch, and the desire.

It was something he had never felt before. The kiss lasted until you both had to break away for air — but you didn’t pull apart. His arms were still wrapped tightly and possessively around you.

— So, did I manage to convince you?

You laughed, touching his chest with a single finger, light and teasing.

— You’re doing pretty well… but I have a feeling you can do better.

He chuckled low, shaking his head.

— This is a dangerous game.

— I like to think I’m a dangerous woman... remember? — you winked.

And that’s when Bruce Wayne knew he was completely lost and that he needed you.

Part 2???

Retirement Home & Elder Care by Twinsimming 🌴👵🏽

Elder sims can now stay in a Retirement Home or Elder Care facility in their golden years.

This is a script mod that can be placed in your Packages folder. It was built and tested on 1.69 but should work fine on 1.67.

Requirements

This mod requires The Sims 3: Late Night and The Sims 3: Showtime.

If your sim’s household funds fall below the hourly rate at any point during their stay, they will be automatically checked out of the Retirement Home and the total cost will be added to the next household bill.

Other elder sims in the world who are retired, self-employed, or unemployed will also be drawn to the Retirement Home while an elder sim in your active household is there. They will have opportunities to become friends and socialize every few hours.

Note: Inactive elders will not be charged for staying at the Retirement Home.

Activities & Accommodations

All of an elder sim’s needs will be taken care of during their stay at the Retirement Home.

They also have a variety of different activities available to them in the form of tones (like career tones). These include the following:

Checking Out

Elder sims can check out of the Retirement Home at any time during their stay. They will be charged based on how many hours they stayed multiplied by the hourly rate.

If your sim cannot afford to pay the total cost of stay upfront, the cost will be added to the next household bill.

Once your elder sim leaves the Retirement Home, any other inactive elders staying will leave as well.

If your elder sim remains at the Retirement Home for the full duration of their stay, they will be given spa related moodlets on checkout. The longer the stay, the stronger and longer lasting the moodlets.

Elder Care

If you’re looking for more permanent arrangements for your elder sims, applying for Elder Care at the Hospital may be a better fit.

Application Process

In order to be admitted into Elder Care, elder sims or other household members must “Apply For Elder Care” or “Apply For Elder Care For...” at the Hospital. The application fee costs §120.

Elder sims’ traits can either increase or decrease their chances of qualifying for Elder Care. The base chance of admission is 40% and each trait increases or decreases the base chance by 5%.

Visitation

Sims can visit elder sims in Elder Care to boost their relationship.

hello ! what do you think about anselm vogelweide x asexual! reader ??

𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐦 𝐱 𝐀𝐬𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥!𝐆𝐍!𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫

Summary: HC's about the above! Warnings: Non-graphic references to jerking it. WC: 434

Hiya ! I am no @reallyrallyauthor, but I took a shot :) Kisses to all my ace followers :*

He's intrigued. In his mind sexual pleasure is one of the basic forms of pleasure as a whole, its like ice cream without milk, how is such a thing possible? This leads to him wanting to find out and further experience what type of pleasures you engage with to satisfy yourself in place of the "void".

If you mention that you have a hobby that brings you lots of fulfillment he'd simply nod, a small hum in acknowledgment before the conversation moves on. A week later and he's balls deep in said hobby, sending you letters. "Dearest birdie, I cannot truthfully agree that crocheting satisfies me as carnally as the satanic orgies of my younger years. However, it does seem to simmer down my twitching trigger finger." "My devoted love, why on Earth would you pick scrapbooking as a hobby? If I wanted my fingers coated in sticky substances and my desk to look an absolute array I'd simply fuck or kill. I cannot say we are on the same page here."

After he's tested your habits to a decent extent, he's content and moves on. Your asexuality is neither here nor there anymore. He's had it explained, he's dabbled in it (as much as he could, asking him to actually abstain from sex is akin to asking him to become a Eunuch) and that's all there need's be. It's on par with your hair colour now; perhaps the topic of small talk over tea ("Did you know, it's often speculated that Nikola Tesla was asexual?").

Shoots anyone that makes rude remarks or grimaces about it. Partly because you're his and he shall not tolerate such disrespect, partially because its such a stupid thing to care about and if they're wasting mental capacity remarking over it then they clearly aren't thinking enough of their job.

He will obviously still feel sexual attraction to you, but you'd rarely know. Anselm would never dream of burdening his beloved with the "nuisances" of the physical body. It's only when he wakes up beside you with morning wood and looks down with a "Oh, I see I have an early morning meeting I must attend. Stay in your Egyptian silk cocoon, my love, I shall be back in but a minute."

Any time he does feel horny, after some 'self care', he goes online and purchases something related to your hobby, e,g a large lego set, an instrument, fancy cookware. Him explaining this to you after 50 packages arrived for you in the span of one week was fun.

Pronounces it "a-thex-ual", like how he says "de-lith-ous".

Could you tell us more lore about the Villianous Paranoiac? Anything at all would be fine.

Of course! Thank you so much for asking about this, I have so many thoughts.

Yuu is one of the youngest students in the first year, as they don’t turn sixteen until March.

Villainous Paranoiac Yuu skipped a year in school when they were little, and used to be a straight A student. They lost most of this attitude when they were forced to repeat their final year of middle school after being disowned.

Forlorn Heroine Megami was homeschooled by Yuu’s mother, who didn’t let her out of the house much unless it was with someone she implicitly trusted. When she moved in with the Graceys and had to go to private school for the first time, she also tested a year ahead (much to Yuu’s annoyance).

Villainous Paranoiac Yuu prefers note-taking to other study methods. They feel it’s a more reliable way to retain information than their memory.

Yuu’s favorite food is sakura mochi.

Yuu is okayish at cooking—they taught themselves through trial and error once they were disowned at 14.

Villainous Paranoiac Yuu feels most comfortable eating food that’s pre-packaged or that they can see/help with the preparation of.

Villainous Paranoiac Yuu has claustrophobia and was not happy to wake up in a coffin. However, they’re unfazed by insects, spiders, rats, amphibians, snakes, and other creatures that are considered pests.

Yuu has a secret weakness for cats. Grim has sometimes exploited this to his advantage.

Yuu initially joined the track and field club in middle school to maintain the family reputation (and have an excuse to avoid going home). They became skilled enough at pole-vault that there were discussions about them competing nationally in high school.

Yuu specializes in the flute over other wind instruments, and has choral training like all of their half-siblings.

Yuu can sketch a bit, but has only recently developed an interest in photography. Reading about it and practicing with the Ghost Camera helps them relax.

Villainous Paranoiac Yuu feels more comfortable initiating touch. It’s only once they trust someone that they’re fine with receiving it without warning.

Yuu prefers wearing at least a little makeup, but is limited to very cheap options due to their current status.

Yuu is currently trying to figure out what gender means to them. They feel more comfortable with a binder than without.

Villainous Paranoiac Yuu was moved to a one bedroom apartment in Kyoto after being disowned. Rent is only partially paid for by the Gracey corporation, so Yuu had to lie about their age to get part time jobs to make up the difference.

Yuu worked the night shift at a local convenience store back in their world. It was while walking home from one shift that they encountered Night Raven College’s hearse.

Yuu’s birth father is the CEO of a conglomerate which employs 225 million people worldwide (and that’s not even mentioning the subsidiaries which are nominally “independent” of the named branches of the Gracey parent company). The Gracey complex in Tokyo is considered a rival to the Emperor’s own palace, though tourists aren’t allowed inside.

Villainous Paranoiac Yuu considers “Fuyuhime” their dead name and will only respond to it under duress. They are also legally barred from using it, or either of their parents’ surnames.

Sketching my Roommate <33 - A Short Fiddauthor FanFic

Once again, here's another silly one-shot I just posted on AO3!!

This is an apology one-shot, for the angsty one I previously posted lol

Summary: Ford receives some art supplies and sketches his roommate :] [recently I also got a box of art supplies for my birthday, so I decided to make a silly one-shot based on this present :D]

Another day was passing on Backupsmore University…

Fiddleford was playing on his banjo, while Stanford was reading “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine L’Engle. They were taking a short break from their college projects.

Someone suddenly knocks at the door…

“I’ll get it.” Stanford closes the book and gets up from his bed. He walks up to the dorm’s door and slightly opens it.

“Hello, there. I’ve got a delivery here for Stanford Pines?” A delivery guy asks from the other side.

“Oh, that’s for me!” the six-fingered answered, fully opening the room’s door.

“I just need you to sign over here.” The man delivers a pen for Stanford to sign, and he does so.

“Thank you, have a nice day.” the delivery guy exclaims while walking in a rush.

Ford closes the door and starts giggling in excitement.

“Whatcha got there, Fordsy?” Fiddleford wonders.

“Oh nothing, just some new supplies I ordered!” he replies, placing the delivery on his bed.

“New supplies? For what?” the Western boy stops playing his banjo, and gets up from bed.

“Art supplies. It’s for my sketchbook. And maybe for visual scientific projects. Who knows?” Sixer explains, ripping the package paper.

Fiddleford sits on Ford’s bed, while the six-fingered happily grabs a box.

Stanford kicks his feet with excitement, and his partner lets out a giggle. He opened the box, which was full of pencils, watercolors, and some watercolor paper to test the supplies on.

Stanford looks at Fiddleford, with an extreme glow in his eyes. He quickly grabs his sketchbook, and opens it on a clean page.

“Strike a pose, I want to draw you.”

“E-Excuse me?” Fiddleford flusteredly asked.

“I want to draw you,” Ford repeated.

“I got that, but… I’ve never been a drawing model before.” the Western boy scratches his arm.

“You don’t need to be an actual model to be drawn.” the six-fingered replied with a chuckle.

Fiddleford blushed and looked away.

“Hey, I’ll draw you as handsome as you already are.” Sixer winks at his partner.

The roommate giggles and gets up. “Alright. What if… Huh-” he looks at his banjo, and grabs it, sitting on his bed. Fiddleford starts playing the instrument while smiling at his boyfriend.

Stanford softly smiles back, grabs a pencil, and starts sketching his roommate.

Took about 2 minutes to make a simple sketch. He then grabbed a thicker pencil to make a final sketch, which took 5 more minutes.

“Done!!” Stanford exclaimed while putting his supplies down.

“Already? Can I see?” the Western boy stops playing.

Sixer turned his sketchbook to show his roommate his drawing.

The sketch was somehow so detailed, so perfect, Fiddleford was so wondered by it, a big glow appeared in his eyes.

“It’s… Beautiful,” he said.

“Exactly like you,” Ford replies, slightly blushing.

“Oh my God, you’re amazing.” he kisses his partner on the cheek.

“Heheh, you’re welcome.” the six-fingered replied, kissing him back.

how many versions of cats were released on cd? I have the obc and olc versions so I was wondering if you knew what other versions there were, and if possible where to find them :D many thanks!

Hello Anon,

There are eighteen cast recordings:

Original London 1981 (both 2CD full recording and 1CD highlights)

Original Broadway 1982 (both 2CD full recording and 1CD highlights)

Vienna 1983 (1CD highlights)

Budapest 1984 (1CD highlights)*

Australia (Sydney) 1985 (2CD full recording)

Japan (Osaka) 1985 (2CD full recording)

Hamburg 1986 (2CD full recording)

Amsterdam 1987 (1CD highlights)

Paris 1989 (2CD full recording)

Japan (Nagoya) 1989 (2CD full recording)

Mexico 1991 (1CD highlights)

Warsaw 2004 (1CD highlights)*

Prague 2004 (1CD highlights)*

Dutch Tour 2006 (1CD highlights)

Italian Tour 2009 (1CD highlights)*

Japan (Tokyo) 2019 (2CD full recording)

2019 Movie (1CD highlights)

Vienna Revival 2021 (2CD full recording)

*Non-replica production, if that matters

In addition, there are a number of promo CDs that include a handful of tracks from the casts at the time of release:

Hamburg 1996 (3 track promo, assuming audio taken from 1986 cast recording)

Japan (Tokyo) 1996 (3 track promo)

CATS 1998 Elaine Paige (3 track promo; 'Memory' included, and two other non-CATS songs)

Japan (Osaka) 2001 (4 track promo)

Madrid 2003 (1 track 'Memory' promo)

Moscow 2005 (8 track promo?, two versions; both have 4 instrumental tracks)

Dutch Tour 2006 (3 track promo, audio from 2006 cast recording)

German Tent Tour 2011 (3 track promo)

Of everything listed above, the only ones I do not own are the Madrid 2003 'Memory' promo, Prague 2004 cast recording (a very rare CD that was scrapped before moving to production, only test/promo copies exist), and Moscow 2005 (another very rare promo release, only found with the press packages). Who knows if I can ever get my hands on them.

In terms of where to find them, the OLC, OBC, and Vienna 1983 are still being produced today and can be easily found new online, through Amazon or eBay (or better yet, in-person at your local music store!), and so is the Budapest 1984 CD as well (at least from what I can tell, it is always readily available brand new from Hungary). The 1989 and 2019 Japanese cast recordings are also still readily available brand new from Japan through the Shiki webstore. The 2019 movie highlights is also very easy to find, considering it just was released. The Vienna 2021 recording is still available from the label's website (at 45% right now!), but they only ship within Europe.

All the others can be found second-hand to varying degrees of ease online (i.e., eBay). The 1980s cast recordings are not too difficult, with Hamburg being fairly easily found, but as you start moving into lesser known (and shorter running) productions, it becomes more difficult to find them. Some are extremely uncommon, and I purchased the only copy I have even seen go for sale throughout the years, and I am still waiting for the chance to get the few I do not have.

Happy hunting to you, Anon!

The accomplishments of Joe Biden during his presidency

Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States, assumed office at a pivotal moment in history, facing a myriad of challenges ranging from a global pandemic to economic uncertainty and social unrest.

Throughout his presidency, President Biden has pursued an ambitious agenda aimed at addressing these pressing issues and advancing key policy priorities. In this essay, we will examine some of the notable accomplishments of Joe Biden during his time in office and the impact of his leadership on the nation.

One of the most significant accomplishments of President Biden during his presidency has been his administration's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon taking office, President Biden made the pandemic a top priority and swiftly implemented a national strategy to combat the spread of the virus and accelerate the vaccination campaign.

Under his leadership, the administration successfully exceeded its initial goal of administering 100 million vaccine doses within the first 100 days, ultimately surpassing 200 million doses. This aggressive vaccination effort has been instrumental in curbing the spread of the virus and has contributed to a significant reduction in COVID-19 cases and deaths across the country.

In addition to his focus on public health, President Biden has made substantial strides in revitalizing the American economy in the wake of the pandemic. The administration's American Rescue Plan, a comprehensive COVID-19 relief package, provided much-needed financial assistance to individuals, families, and businesses impacted by the economic downturn. The plan included direct stimulus payments to Americans, extended unemployment benefits, support for small businesses, and funding for vaccine distribution and testing.

President Biden's economic agenda has also centered on job creation and infrastructure investment, culminating in the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, a historic legislation that allocates substantial funding for modernizing the nation's infrastructure, creating millions of jobs, and bolstering economic growth. Furthermore, President Biden has been a vocal advocate for advancing racial equity and social justice in the United States. His administration has taken concrete steps to address systemic inequalities and promote inclusivity, including the signing of executive orders to combat discrimination, promote fair housing, and strengthen tribal sovereignty.

Additionally, President Biden signed into law the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act, establishing Juneteenth as a federal holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. These actions underscore the administration's commitment to confronting the legacy of racism and fostering a more equitable society for all Americans.

Moreover, President Biden has demonstrated a strong commitment to combating climate change and advancing environmental sustainability.

His administration rejoined the Paris Agreement on climate change, signaling a renewed dedication to global cooperation in addressing the climate crisis. In November 2021, President Biden convened a virtual Leaders Summit on Climate, bringing together world leaders to discuss ambitious measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate the transition to clean energy.

Additionally, the administration has unveiled a comprehensive plan to invest in clean energy infrastructure, promote energy efficiency, and prioritize environmental justice, aiming to position the United States as a global leader in the fight against climate change.

In the realm of foreign policy, President Biden has sought to reassert American leadership on the world stage and rebuild alliances with international partners. His administration has prioritized diplomacy and multilateral engagement, working to address global challenges such as nuclear proliferation, cybersecurity threats, and human rights abuses.

President Biden has reaffirmed the United States' commitment to NATO and other key alliances, signaling a departure from the isolationist policies of the previous administration. His approach to foreign affairs has emphasized the importance of collaboration and collective action in tackling shared global concerns, fostering a more cohesive and cooperative international order. Furthermore,

President Biden has been a steadfast proponent of expanding access to affordable healthcare and strengthening the Affordable Care Act. His administration has taken steps to bolster the ACA, including increasing enrollment outreach, expanding coverage options, and lowering healthcare costs for millions of Americans.

President Biden has also championed efforts to address mental health challenges and substance abuse disorders, recognizing the critical importance of mental and behavioral health in overall well-being.

In conclusion, President Joe Biden has achieved a range of significant accomplishments during his tenure in office, from his swift and effective response to the COVID-19 pandemic to his ambitious efforts to revitalize the economy, promote racial equity, combat climate change, and reinvigorate America's role in global affairs.

His leadership has been marked by a steadfast commitment to addressing pressing domestic and international challenges and advancing a progressive policy agenda aimed at fostering a more equitable, resilient, and prosperous future for the nation. As his presidency continues to unfold, the enduring impact of his accomplishments is likely to shape the trajectory of the United States for years to come, leaving a lasting imprint on the fabric of American society and the global community.
