oh my goodness its been a while since ive been tagged in something 😵‍💫 thank you @venriliz for tagging o mah gawddd <33333

NON SIMS INTERESTS TAG... Let's chat non-sims 💞 (All the people I tagged are at the very bottom below the cut!)

[ under the cut ]

GAMES 🛸I'm a BIG games guy, I loveeeee playing and watching playthroughs of games. I could ramble for HOURSSSS about the games I love, BUT I won't, I'll just do sorta-short paragraphs for some of my favs :) ; RAIN WORLD: LOVE rain world, love it so much, it's so challenging and rage inducing and makes me wanna die, but also the story is SOOOO good, granted I have had to do research for the story, doing that research made me love the story and game even more. MOUTHWASHING: I don't even know what to say about this game anymore, it's so good, it's inspired so many other new games with similar premises/stories (but not similar enough to make them copycats or bad), the fucking non-linear storytelling is so good, swansea's monologue always gets me, daisuke is my baby i love him sm, anya's reveal and her whole story makes me so sick and sad. Couldn't reccomend this game ENOUGH :( RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2: a CLASSIC favorite game, I love the story more than anything, I love arthur, I love john, I love most of the camp members (besides micah...), I just absolutely ADOREEEE how well written the story and characters are. There's definitely game-related quirks that I could do without, but I manage, i love the game too much LMAOO NO MAN'S SKY: A recent addition to my favs! I got NMS recently and have enjoyed it A LOT, it's grind-y and I'm SUCH a sucker for procedurally generated games, and this game handles PG sooo well, keeping things new while also still having cohorent lore, alien species and structures. Like RDR2 There ARE quirks, a lot of quirks actually, that don't bode well with me, but I kinda get over it. BALDUR'S GATE 3: UGH words. words cannot describe my unbridled love for this game. I know it's cliche or wtv, but Astarion is just forever my fav, his story LITERALLY hurts me, it's SO GOOD BUT SO FUCKIGN SADDDD UGHGHFJGHFNJMDN :((( The writing in this game is also just really good, the pacing and the random dialogue and the serious moments with their perfectly timed silly moments, it's just. perfect. FAR CRY 5: I fucking love far cry 5, if you know me, you know far cry 5. FC5 was my introduction to the Far cry series, and I am forever grateful that it was, I don't think any of the other FC games could shake this down from being my fav, this game genuinely FEELS like home to me. Also special mention to the sequel, far cry new dawn, not AS good imo, but it's still good :3 DETROIT BECOME HUMAN and BEYOND TWO SOULS: Bunching these two together as they're made by the same devs, DBH is just. phenomenal and is one of the first games that really pushed me into wanting to play games for myself instead of watching others play them. Connor my sweet, sweet boy. Beyond two souls is an older game by Quantic Dream, the story of this game is also super good, it's similar to how mouthwashing is told, the storytelling is non-linear and i fuck with that SO HARD. Jodie and Nathan's relationship makes me so emotional its not even funny. GOAT SIMULATOR 1, 3, RE: A bit of a wild card LMFAO Goat Sim 1 is actually the entire reason why I'm even a gamer to be honest, I watched jacksepticeye play it SOOOOOOO long ago, I laughed so hard at his playthrough, and have wanted to play it ever since I discovered it. I used to play it on my tablet bec Amazon had an "underground" section of the play store where indie games could be downloaded for free and goat sim was on there!! Also I loved Goat simulator 3 sm that I speedran the whole game in 24 hours. LMFAO I'm working on 100%'ing the remaster! HONORABLE MENTIONS: Bugsnax, BANGER and SUPER cute game, Before Your Eyes, actually one of the saddest games ive played I love the story and concept sm, Maneater, I love this game so much I 100%'d it twice idk what it is but i just LOVE this game UGHHH, Naiad, a SMALL indie game with a cute art style i just think it's neat :)) Noita, its SUCH a fun and challenging game i love it sm, and finally, wobbledogs, its me and my slightly messed up puppies til the end.

MUSIC 🛸 PHEW Out of the Games section, into music... I love music!! I love it SO much. I will NOT ramble on as much as I did in the previous section, but I just wanna say; ricky montgomery and hozier, my FAVORITE artists of all time, no other artist can top them for me. Talk to You, Paper Towel, Mr Loverman, Penny Come Home and In Your Pocket are my biggest reccs for new Ricky listeners. I don't have GREAT first time reccs for new Hozier listeners, but my favs of his are his Arctic Monkey cover of Do I wanna know, Dinner and Diatribes, Cherry Wine, Swan upon Leda, and Jackboot Jump :))

MOVIES/SHOWS 🛸I don't watch a lot of Movies or Shows, I'm a big youtube guy, BUT my favorite movie as of late and as of the last year or so is THE PASSENGER (2023), which I think MOST of you know by now LMFAO. Spongebob is always gonna be my number one fav show.

STATISTICS 🛸A weird one, but I fucking LOVE statistics, I love seeing analytics, I love seeing percentages of things, I love seeing information, I love polls, i LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEE STATISTICS!!!! WHOOHOO!!!!!! Sorry anyways. Yes I do like statistics,.. a very NORMAL amount.. LMAO

BOOKS 🛸This is just my irregular reminder for everyone to read warrior cats at SOME point. Actually my favorite series I've EVER read. Also I recommend Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo >:3

COLLECTING 🛸For my final category, I am putting down collecting- I'm a big collector, I love collecting plushies, vinyls, CDs/DVDs, VHS tapes, Figurines, Hoodies, etc. etc. Generally of stuff I like. I literally have a shelf dedicated to things I bought from media I like, and I have SEVERAL hoodies from artists I love. Also had to buy a rack for my Vinyls, a rack for my CDs and DVDs AND a place to put my Books, from how much I collect all those things LMFAO

TAGS !! OKAY. Well. IF you made it this far, or scrolled down to this point just to see who I tagged, then hello! Here's the fun little tagging section, as always, FEEL FREE TO IGNORE OR SKIP (esp if you've already been tagged)!! @birdietrait @mattodore @fizzytoo @minimooberry @pearlean @mmonetsims @flovoid @acuar-io (ik ur sim blog is gregluvnik, i just tagged u on this blog since ur shadowbanned on the other LMAO) @changingplumbob @rottengurlz @eljeebee @solargrove

[deathdetermineslife]

Hiii, can you maybe do a list of things to do when your f/o is a vampire?

I don’t let him bite me tho teehee

so fun! I will try my bestest <3 some of these may be a bit silly bc I love very stereotypical vampires

you can purchase animal blood! if you're not very squeamish, write down the places you can get it so you can "give it" to your f/o.

if your vampire f/o can't be in the sun, make a wishlist on Amazon of hats and umbrellas you think they'd like to use.

if your vampire f/o has been alive/a vampire for a long time, look into the period they grew up in. if they were born in the 1600s in England, look into what their day to day life may have been like. what small, mundane things could you expect them to do then?

if they can't be around garlic, make a list of dishes that garlic is frequently used in! this is also fun just to learn about what ingredients go into different foods.

make "vampire" jewelry to give them. those fake blood bracelets, fill a little vile with some dyed liquid to look like blood and put on a necklace (I think isopropyl alcohol doesn't evaporate? you can probably google what you need to make jewelry like that), make a clay coffin pendant, things like that!

if you're the goofy type, find silly vampire puns to tell them.

if they need to hide that they're a vampire and have the two bite marks on their neck, maybe make a Pinterest board of clothes you think they would wear to hide them!

this is more of a general f/o thing, but if you have the sims and the vampires dlc, make them. maybe I'm biased bc it's my favorite dlc tho

if they have an interest (or dislike) of cheesy, dumb vampire movies, totally watch them together. there's so many. same goes for vampire books

if they have a bat form, maybe make a cozy little place in your room you can imagine them hanging out in

if they're the kind of vampire to sleep in coffins, totally look into different coffins. some of them are so pretty and fun looking.

assuming they can only go out at night, find some activities they could do to enjoy nocturnal life!

this one was fun. maybe it was a tad too cliche? but I like them. also it was a challenge not writing any biting ones! which was also fun.

💭

For the Fanfic Writer Ask Game :3

💭 What inspires you and your writing? (from this post)

ooooh tough one! thank you, i like the challenge of this question!

as i think back to my literal earliest writings at age 6, 8, 9 and into the teenage years and finally adulthood is when i really started writing.... there's a lot. at the core though, is emotion. and a desire i suppose to tell a story.

the first thing i can truly consider my own was a homework assignment at age 8 that my mom did not proofread before i handed it in. it received the highest grade and the teacher read it aloud to the class and asked me this very question: how did i do it? (you know... this may subconsciously be why i adore writing prompts. it was a single sentence prompt we were given to write from. heheh.)

anyway, i remember answering that i wrote what i saw. some of it was what i physically saw, and then some was imagined based on the actual scene. but i could see it in my mind's eye; i could see the story and feel the emotions surrounding it.

even though all i post is fanfiction, i did write some original stories here and there a long time ago. tiny things, like the school assignment. again they're all from a place of emotions i relate to... experiences i've had or that i want to have... that's part of the imagination piece. things i have read before in other stories, or imagine to be real based on things i've heard described, pictures i've seen...

so then we come to fanfiction. when it's character-driven as nearly all of my pieces are... and i'm thinking back here to my earliest fanfic writings (which are handwritten and unfinished lol oops) it was all in the end to tell something deeper of the soul... to grasp onto some depth of emotion that i know i myself crave.... or if not something i crave specifically, just seeking to feel...

that description is rather reminding me of what i hear people say about drug addictions. seeking the next high, you know? and you gotta go deeper each time or something, to find the satisfaction. i suppose there's an element of that in there as well. writing is a bit of transparency in that...i guess i'm seeking something i don't have. usually it's a depth of relationship, a seeking to be known and to know another. up until i wrote drakken/shego fanfic i really did not write romance at all. i was always going after the platonic soulmate vibe. sometimes that depth of knowing can get lost in a romance vibe i think?

but anyway... yes... what inspires me? a craving for more. i write for that emotional depth. that next high. but also the adventure... the seeking of something beyond the walls of....existence. oh to be able to just say... let's go explore that cave in the east that has its own weather system! let's go explore the amazon! the sahara! let's drift on a gondola in the canals of venice on a moonlit night! let's look down on the earth from a plane at 35000 feet and see what God and man have wrought!

man idk if that answers this well enough. i guess also unanswered questions? in fanfic, for characters. like, what happened to adam cartwright after he moved away and how did it impact each family member? what happened after the end of quantum leap?? is h.m. murdock truly insane? why did spock really leave starfleet? what else motivates sonic the hedgehog? why did shego abandon heroism and become a villain? will dr. drakken become a good guy post-canon or will he remain in evil?? what truly happened between stein and spirit to break up their partnership yet cause them to pick up right where they left off fifteen years later???

it's always...missing pieces, and always connected to emotion... yeah again, idk if this answers the question well enough. but my gosh you've got me buzzing. maybe this will kickstart my writing drive again cuz i let it go dormant to play sims 24/7 for a month.

thank you friend, for the ask! ^^

image 1: global strike week, 21-28 January! (in all caps) Ceasefire now!

image 2: global strike week, 21-28 January! We are human beings like you. We had beautiful cities, many loves and dreams. They were destroyed in front of you and are still being destroyed. You can make a difference and stop this genocide. Do not despair and continue until the ceasefire.

image 3: global strike week, 21-28 January! Strike from the economic movements, work, and your normal life because nothing is normal in this life! Strike as much as you can and protest. For a whole week or until this madness ends! You can disrupt the economies that support genocide and make your voices and our voices heard! Call for strikes during the next week for an immediate and permanent ceasefire!

images 4 and 5 are screenshots of tweets by mikes (emoji of a pin) palestine resources @ judaelis.

image 4: the last strike called for a total boycott of all goods for the day, putting pressure on corporations and governments with a total withdrawal from the economy that day. the idea is to center your whole day around calling for a ceasefire and centering Palestine in your discussions

in December many people worked to get #StrikeForGaza trending, so the goal of the day if you choose to be on social media is to spend the day educating and platforming Palestine, and to not take away from any of the important discussions at hand.

two images attached to the first tweet say: global strike! remember, tomorrow 11th December is a global strike day. If the politicians do not hear us, then we can strike from economic life and daily movement and we can boycott everything, we can put pressure on them to stop supporting and blessing the massacre that is happening in Gaza. Ceasefire now! The will of the people can fail. If we can't shape the world we live in, if we can't stop a genocide so miserable is our life

image 5: overall, plan to not go out/spend money on the 21st and if possible take the time off from school/work and spend the day centering Palestine! the tweet is dated January 17th, 2024.

image 6: an infographic made by the Boycott Divest Sanctions movement titled, "Act now against these companies profiting from the genocide of the Palestinian people."

Consumer boycott targets: AXA, Puma, Carrefour, HP, Chevron, Caltex, israeli produce, RE/MAX, Ahava, Siemens, Texaco, and Sodastream.

Divestment and exclusion targets: Elbit systems, intel, HD Hyundai, Volvo, CAT, JCB, Barclays, CAF, Chevron and Chevron-owned Noble Energy, HikVision, and TKH security.

Pressure targets: Google, Amazon, Airbnb, Booking, Expedia, Disney, and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries.

Organic boycott targets: Mcdonalds, Domino's pizza, papa johns, pizza hut, Wix, and burger king.

image 7: tweet by Mirna El Helbawi: 90% of the journalists covering and reporting what's happening on ground now in Gaza, are reporting from your e-SIMs, the e-sims you donated. You are giving Gaza a voice, your role is critical in this genocide. keep donating. keep saving Gaza, Gaza will not be silenced. there is more text that has been cut off by a show more option.

the picture attached to the tweet: Connecting Gaza. #ConnectingGaza. (in all caps) let's keep Gaza connected! Holafly (Israel) and (Egypt) needed. Nomad (regional middle east). 5% discount on Holafly when you use [the code, in all caps]: HOLACNG. Send QR code screenshot to: gazaesims@ gmail.com.

images 8 through 10 are tweets by Care for Gaza @ CareForGaza

image 8: Alhamdulilah we managed to deliver cash to a few families today despite being in challenging and arduous conditions. We are grateful for your support. The attached 4 images are children holding envelopes with money in them. Their faces are blurred out. Dated January 14th, 2024.

image 9: We spotted a depressed and confused man standing in a street looking around helplessly. We learnt that he can hardly provide for his children and living conditions are miserable. We gave him some cash and bought a bag of flour. Thanks for your generous support. The attached 2 images are a person holding a bag of flour, and a young boy holding an envelope with money in it. his face is blurred out. Dated January 1st, 2024.

image 10: in the face of the raging war, she has hopes and aspirations | Gaza. the attached image is a young girl holding a bottle. Her face is blurred out, but you can tell she is smiling. She is holding up a peace sign. Dated December 31st, 2023. End ID]

Bisan is calling for another global strike!

I saw some posts just outlining Jan 21st, and wanted to clarify that Bisan has called for a full seven days of action.

What a global strike would look like is:

calling in sick to work

purchasing bare essentials ahead of the week so you can observe the general boycott of goods / buying as little as you genuinely can

putting in a concerted effort to elevate Palestinian voices and make it clear that this strike is in support of a permanent ceasefire!

For those who will have to purchase necessary goods during this time, please observe the brands that the BDS movement is asking us to boycott!

♢♢♢

Right now is also a good time to mention some better uses for your money during this week.

Available e-sims in Gaza are running low!!

Mirna El Helbawi and her team are working round the clock to continue to connect Palestinians as Israel does its best to cut them off from the rest of the world.

You can learn how to purchase and send e-sims here, and below you’ll find a list of what is currently needed (the areas in brackets indicate what region you should select to buy e-sims in).

--

CareforGaza is an organisation that does verifiably good work, distributing supplies directly to Palestinian families.

They have a Gofundme set up at the moment, but because of Gofundme’s poor track record regarding refusing to transfer funds to Palestinians, I’d recommend continuing to donate directly to their PayPal here.

Good luck to all of you. Don't turn away from Palestine!

Story

Sally sat at her kitchen table, feeling trapped within her faith in God. She had her own battles to face, but lately, she felt like she was being left out. Her struggles with Coelic disease and the expensive nature of gluten-free food weighed heavily on her mind. She began to wonder if it was worth risking her health by consuming gluten, which was much cheaper than the gluten-free options she needed.

As she scrolled through her options for breakfast, the price of gluten-free items continued to climb, leaving Sally feeling even more overwhelmed. To make matters worse, she realized she had misplaced her Natwest card and forgotten the password to her Amazon UK account, where she accessed EA Play to indulge in her love for The Sims 3 and The Sims 4.

Despite the stress of her dietary restrictions and financial concerns, Sally found solace in dancing. It was her way of escaping the chaos of her life, even if only for a short time. However, Sally had three secrets that weighed heavily on her mind. Along with her battles with Coelic disease and dyspraxia, she also sponsored a child in Ethiopia and secretly donated money to charity through Compassion UK.

As Sally pondered her financial situation, she received an email from Compassion UK informing her that her sponsorship commitment would need to increase from £29 to £37 per month. This news added to her worries about potentially losing her Personal Independence Payment (PIP) vouchers and her desire to visit her sponsored child in Ethiopia.

Her Aunt August tried to comfort Sally, reminding her of the importance of her charitable acts despite her own financial constraints. As they discussed her upcoming plans, Sally expressed her longing to visit Ethiopia but ultimately had to decline due to lack of funds.

Feeling disheartened, Sally remembered the struggles she faced with the Dyspraxia Foundation and the disappointment of missed volunteer opportunities. Despite these setbacks, she remained determined to make a positive impact in the world, even if it meant sacrificing her own desires.

As she reflected on her faith in God, Sally decided to return to church and seek guidance through prayer. She questioned her purpose and sought answers from a higher power. Yet, despite her efforts, she felt a sense of uncertainty lingering within her heart.

Sally's journey was filled with ups and downs, challenges and triumphs, but through it all, she remained steadfast in her beliefs and her commitment to helping others. As she continued to navigate the complexities of her life, she found solace in her faith, her dance, and her determination to make a difference in the world. And with each step forward, Sally learned to embrace the unknown and find strength in the midst of uncertainty.
