- He’s a demon, he’s a devil. Nate wonders if the universe knows what he’s starting to feel about Hancock. He’s still wearing his ring, the metal as cold as the chill of Nora’s skin.

- Travis is hilarious and everyone is a fucking coward.

- Preston is kinda hot outside of his uniform. He sleeps in a T-shirt and some soft-looking pants, as Nate found out one night at the Castle.

- It was Nate’s first experience with the bloodthirsty mutant humanoids. He was terrified.

- The weird part was though that Preston was still wearing the hat

- (Some months later, between Valentine and Danse, he’ll find a piece of paper with “KILL. LOOT. RETURN.” It’s a moment, small and lonely, where there was no bad blood between them.)

- Nate closes his eyes sometimes and he’s on his honeymoon, freshly back from Alaska, being shaken awake by newlywed Nora at barely showing.

- (You know it’s not yours,” one guy mutters at the courthouse the day before. Nora’s not a girl with a reputation to match her swollen belly, and Nate’s not about to confess the time that badass Major Nora Blackwood had spent a wild weekend with Nate the night before his official bereavement leave began.

- The timing was the worst part - his dad would have loved Nora.

- “In our vows, you said that you’d cook me whatever I want since you knocked me up” Nora says. She’s got a surprisingly sharp memory for how drunk they were the night they eloped.

Notes on a FO4 fic I’ll never write

- Preston is a total nerd. Not in the same way that Travis was a nerd, and then became a cool nerd. Nate’s never been a bully, but he’s defended enough nerds from bullies that he can categorize them. His wife was a total nerd, too, and that’s the problem, right there. Nate likes nerds.

- Nate finding the runaway’s holotape

- Nate coming out of the vault

- Travis is actually pretty fucking funny. He has great comedic timing. The problem is his voice. Yeah, Nate likes nerds. But even that whine doesn’t hide the guy’s enthusiasm for public radio.

- Backstreet Apparel joke interrupted. Hancock demands she finish it before he kills her.

- Raider politics are actually fascinating. Nate was a poli-sci major before the draft.

- (End of the fic is someone calling Nate a nerd and Nate having an epiphany)

- Hancock is just a stoner history nerd. Nate’s roommate in college was that way, and he was hot too.

- “Jesus you were always such a hardass” backstreet apparel conversation is actually a lesbian rendezvous , Clutch and Raider psycho

- (They have boyfriends in the raider group, and the boyfriends don’t know about the clutch/RP enemies to lovers thing going on)

- ((The clutch/RP story was always going to end badly. There are no happy endings in the wasteland, just the cold reality of disappointing the gods of old))

- Preston is so quiet Nate forgot he was there

In honor of my anniversary, here are 10 cute things about our marriage.

@jemomgershippingco Happy 3 years!

1. We eloped and had a courthouse wedding. Our marriage license was signed by a 19yo kid at UPS who said “I practice calligraphy for these!” He gave us 30% off as a wedding present.

2. My job in household projects is “Project Manager.” I sit on the couch and make her laugh while she DIYs, does chores, or whatever needs done.

3. Somehow, a running joke in our marriage is that if she farts while I’m seizing, I will be so offended that I will come out of the seizure. (It doesn’t work. It’s just me, seizing and aware, trapped in fart).

4. She talks in her sleep every night. One time she asked me, “Are you gonna get on the fucking bus with me?” We were not on the bus, we were at home. When she realized this, she said, “Oh shit, this isn’t the bus.”

5. I like to make stickers on my iPhone out of her face. Like this one:

[image description: my wife’s silly face hiding a DoorDash order for Panera bread]

6. our song is “wilder days” by Morgan Wade

7. Sometimes when I do something out of pocket or spicy she quietly says, “That’s my girl,” with a little grin on her face and I melt like a chocolate chip in hell.

8. We randomly break into song. Especially “the final countdown”

9. My parents adore her. She’s my dad’s favorite kid now.

10. We met in a Harringrove discord in 2019. 💜

The ‘Spice of Life’✨ Legacy Challenge

Sometimes playing the sims can get a little stale, and somewhat repetitive, especially The Sims 4. I know I can get stuck playing the same stories over and over again, so I decided to create this challenge to add a little excitement and variety to my, and hopefully your, game-play!

After all, variety is the spice of life!

Gen 1: The Wild Child

You’re a sim who loves to get down, go on adventures and spend time with other sims! You can be a bit of a handful for some sims, but that’s okay! You’ve been wild since the day you were born and you wouldn’t want to be any other way. You have about a million things you want to do in your life time and you’re gonna do them all!

Aspiration: Friend of the Animals

Traits: Dance Machine, Adventurous, Outgoing

Generation rules / goals:

Join the secret agent career and get to the top of it before your sim becomes an elder

Once your sim is an elder have them start a new job, keep them on their toes!

Complete the Friend of the Animals aspiration

Master the Dance & Pet training skills throughout your sims lifetime

Have five animals in your sims house-hold at one time (these should be cats, dogs, raccoon, foxes, etc.) - you don’t always have to have five but you should at some point

Have you sim have at least 10 friends and having a falling out with one of them and become enemies

Have a best-friend that is NOT your partner / spouse

Have your sim go out at least once every weekend to either the club, the bar or somewhere else they can dance! They’re a dance machine remember!

Your sim can have as many children as you like, but keep in mind that they have a lot of animals in the house

You must have at least one child in order for them to become heir, they can be adopted or biological, it doesn’t matter!

Go on at least two family vacations, one of these must be to Mt. Komorebi

Have your sim be a very relaxed parent, no rules, no pressure to get good grades, etc. (Parenthood is needed for this but if you don’t have it that’s okay just do your best without it!)

These two incredible simmers took the time out of their days to help me proof read this and went out of their way to give me wonderful advice. Go check out their Youtube channels as well. They honestly deserves all the love in the world.

Not So Berry Legacy Challenge

Do you like the rainbow? Do you like the idea of playing with berry Sims but hate berry Sims? Do you want to mess around with aspects of the game you’ve never used before? Boy, do I have the challenge for you!

Welcome to the Not So Berry Legacy Challenge, a ten generation legacy with a focus on bright colors and new experiences.

Basic Rules:

Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke). Of course, this is optional but a big portion of the fun.

The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them.

Money cheats can be used, but not excessively. Suggestion: use freerealestate for your first home, but no cheats afterward.

You may live wherever you please unless something is specified in the rules of a generation.

Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Keep the lifespan on normal.

If you play this challenge and want to share it with us, go ahead and post with #notsoberry so we can see!

My good friend @alwaysimming​ and I kind of created this challenge on accident, but I think it turned out pretty great. We wanted to make something that forced us to play with parts of the game we’ve never explored before. Hopefully you’ll have fun too. You can follow our gameplay on @mintiphresh​ and @lea-fey​ (pronounced “minty fresh” and “leafy”)!

reblog if ur mom is smart and beautiful

[elysiumwaits]

if you ever find yourself thinking “wow I scraped the bottom of the barrel with my energy with that and came out okay!” that’s the devil talking. you did not come out okay. you borrowed energy from the future. you will repay it if you don’t rest and replenish the borrowed energy first.

If you mess up a social interaction you can say "Failed Experiment" and move on

waiter! waiter! more people with big brown eyes!!

[elysiumwaits]

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

[elysiumwaits]

many lyrics that were inspired.

lets use our turn signal with mama

my cat hates taking his pills. the only way we can get him to eat them is to turn it into an elaborate pantomime - we take the packet out of the cupboard slowly and hold it up, saying “oh!! what’s this? what’s this? a TREAT? a TREAT for louis????” while making surprised faces. we offer him a pill… then, before he has a chance to sniff it, we wag our fingers at him and replace it in the packet so it becomes a Tantalising Forbidden Mystery. we continue doing this until he’s so confused and excited that he will eat the pill as fast as possible, just so he can find out what it is before we can take it away from him again. as soon as he’s eaten it he looks utterly disappointed and betrayed, like a child who just ate a delicious sweet only to find it was a chocolate-coated brussels sprout. it never gets old
