This month I want to try a new approach and have decided to work more conceptually.

I'm focusing on just one product group, which I don't think has featured enough in the game so far, but is an important element in every household and everyday life - the shelf.

To be more precise, the corner shelf. Whether outside or inside corners, with Oɴ Tнe Edɢe every bare and boring room corner becomes an eye-catcher.

There are different shelves in a wide variety of sizes, styles, colors and materials & finally there is enough storage space for every object to find its place.

I'm so curious to hear what you think of this approach - please feel free to share your thoughts with me ꒰ ︠ु•௰•꒱ु♡💚

much love The Clutter Cat

ʙᴜʙʙʟᴇɢᴜᴍ 👁👅👁

The end of the year is approaching, the first Christmas cookies are being baked and there is even snow in Berlin - it'sn fucking cold brrrr  ˚₊✩‧₊* ‧₊˚

And very soon, the new THE SIMS™ 4 FOR RENT expansion pack will be released. 

There's a lot to come and I'm really looking forward to celebrating Christmas with the new neighborhood. 🎅

When I returned from my trip to Japan at the beginning of November, I just felt like creating a super cute collection.  ʙᴜʙʙʟᴇɢᴜᴍ is an eclectic mix of unique pieces  that look lovely together, but can also stand on their own and make every home a little more yummy pop!, pastel colory, fun and comfy. 

I just created pieces that I really fancied at that moment and I absolutely love how everything came together in the end. I especially love the many different prints on the seating furniture and the super large selection of picture motifs, many of which are also inspired by Asia. 

I hope you enjoy, have a wonderful pre-Christmas season & much love

Ok. Hear me out. This might make no sense without context but this is a scene from @isnt-it-pretty ‘s Cynonari fanfic: Pray to Blades of Grass on Ao3. In which Cyno is a Village Keeper and Tighnari helps heal him :)

Note: I realised halfway through making this that Tighnari doesn’t in fact brush aside Cyno’s bangs in this part but rather he rests his head on his hand but sjkdnfiehr I was so far in and this has been on my drafts since forever so here it goes!

Pray to Blades of Grass (Village Keeper!Cyno AU) Notes! Part 2 of 2

Please see part 1 here for the first half of these notes.

Lisa writes to Cyno about Collei. A former classmate and friend of Tighnari's takes it before it can be disposed of and gives it to Tighnari. Tighnari takes all of Cyno's relevant notes from his time in Spantamad and goes to Mondstadt. Lisa is heartbroken over the news of what happened to her classmate, but between her, Tighnari, and Cyno's notes, she can seal Collei's Archon Residue. She gives Tighnari her condolences, and Tighnari takes Collei back to Sumeru. 

He never explicitly tells Collei about Cyno, but she learns most of the story from the other forest rangers who gossip and give Tighnari pitying looks as he packs up to leave for the desert every two months. "His partner was a genius in the Rtawahist darshan who went mad and was exiled to the desert; poor Tighnari still loves him."

Tighnari argues almost violently with Haypasia every time they meet about contacting Irminsul-- if Cyno couldn't do it safely, how could anybody else? Haypasia is aware of his concern but disregards it in the pursuit of knowledge.

He helps the Traveller when she shows up and warns her that the incense and Haypasia's occupation are extremely dangerous. Still, he does send the Traveller to speak with Haypasia with the warning to be careful.

Paimon tells Haypasia that Tighnari doesn't seem to like what she's doing. Haypasia explains that Tighnari once lost somebody very close to him to madness-- he knows better than most how dangerous it can be. He has a right to be wary, but she won't stop. 

In the 3.1 archon quest, Tighnari replaces Cyno's role. I'm not sure what happens to Haypasia-- maybe he doesn't find her, and she's just crazy in the forest or something. Either way, he goes to Aaru Village to visit Cyno and runs into Alhaitham and the Traveler. He knows Dehya, which surprises Lumine. 

They all go to the village leader's house, where Candace tells Tighnari she has to talk to him about Cyno. Alhaithen recognizes the name, and when Paimon and Lumine ask, he says that Cyno was infamous within the Akademiya for being a genius before he went mad and tried to kill himself. Dehya snaps that Alhaithem should show some respect while the Traveller remembers what Haypasia told them.

Candace comes back alone and tells them that Tighnari needs a moment of privacy before explaining that the village keepers have been missing. 

Tighnari is well-known and respected in the village, so the investigation goes easier than canon. They find out quickly that the woman heard cries from the Eleazar hospital and goes with Alhaitham and Lumine to look.

Everything goes about the same, and they track the Emerites. Alhaitham offers himself, blah blah. 

Cyno is the one traded instead of "grandpa," and Tighnari's relief is palpable. When the sand collapses, Tighnari brings Cyno into King Deshret's tomb because he is not leaving Cyno alone. Cyno probably says something cryptic. 

After they get back to Aaru Village, Tighnari fusses over Cyno.

Timeskip to when all is done, and they've saved Kusanali. She knows about Cyno and decides she can't let it continue, so she personally visits Tighnari alongside Alhaitham to ask if he would let her try to help.

Then the fic happens.

Pray to Blades of Grass (Village Keeper!Cyno AU) Notes! Part 1 of 2

Since I didn't write the entire AU, I decided to post my notes about what took place before the one-shot Pray to Blades of Grass (read here!). The notes are point form and below the cut.

See part 2 of the notes here because there was too much for one post.

Both these notes and the fic are a TW for past/referenced suicide attempt + self-harm.

Pray to Blades of Grass

Cyno’s name was nothing but a ghost story among Rtawahist scholars, his genius all but forgotten beyond the label of “mad scholar.”   Tighnari never forgot.  . Tighnari has spent four years travelling between Gandharva Ville and Aaru Village. He made peace with his loss, happy to have even what little of Cyno remained. Nahida wouldn’t let that stand. (AU where Cyno was never General Mahamatra.)

Cyno was part of the Spantamad darshan (elementalism, the same as Lisa) but decided to change schools to the Rtawahist darshan (illuminationism, and also Haypasia's darshan) due to an interest in understanding the gods. He was student when he and Tighnari met. He was considered a genius within the Sumeru Akademiya for his work in Spantamad and for making brief contact with Irminsul after only a couple years of training. (Even faster than Haypasia). 

Tighnari worried about the danger, but he trusted Cyno. By the time everything happened, he and Cyno had already been together for some time.

Cyno, like Haypasia, tended to forget to eat when meditating, which he usually did in a special, mirrored mediation room at the Akademiya. I can't believe that all Rtawahist scholars meditate in the forest, so it would make sense for them to have rooms designated for that.

Tighnari brought him food after one such mediation session where, unknown to him, Cyno successfully contacted Irminsul and Divine Knowledge. I headcanon that what causes the madness in scholars isn't actually the divine knowledge, but rather, they come in contact with the withering within Irminsul.

Tighnari knocked and, when Cyno didn't answer, opened the door to the room. It smelled strongly of Spirit Borneol. The room's mirrors were shattered, and Cyno was collapsed on the ground, covered in blood. He held a shard of the broken mirrors in his hand. Tighnari dropped the food he had brought and tried to staunch the bleeding as he screamed for help. 

Cyno was taken away for medical care, and Tighnari was questioned extensively by the Matra. After Cyno woke up, he was officially deemed a mad scholar and exiled to the desert. Tighnari didn't even get to see him again before that happened. 

It takes two months for Tighnari to make it to the desert. His grades were slipping, he couldn't eat, had no appetite, and all his passion for his classes was gone. Rumours spread about him and Cyno.

The week that Akademiya students generally went to Port Ormos, Tighnari went to the desert. Getting there sucked, but he eventually arrived in Aaru Village. An older woman asks him if he's lost, and he explains he's looking for somebody. She sends him to Candace.

Candace is polite, if terse, and softens when he tells her he wants to visit his friend. Since the Akademiya views the mad scholars are some sort of contagion, very few people visited them, even friends and family. Tighnari is one of the first. When she points that out, Tighnari snaps that the Akademiya is full of shit and that there has never been a conclusive study to show that a scholar's madness is contagious-- it's propaganda to cover up the Akademiya's failings to protect their students.

When he asks after Cyno specifically, it takes Candace time to realize who Tighnari means. The Matra didn't tell them Cyno's name, and Cyno hadn't spoken since he arrived two months prior. She takes him to visit Cyno, who lives with a family in the village. (I refuse to believe they just let the Village Keepers live in tents around the village, so I have them stay with families who care for them as best they can)

The family he lives with is surprised at the visit but gladly invites them in. They tell Tighnari about what they've noticed, like how getting Cyno to eat is difficult, and he likes to scribble indecipherable symbols over all the paper he can find. Tighnari says he'll help if he can but doesn't know how it will go since he didn't get a chance to talk to Cyno before he was exiled. 

Cyno's room is small, with just a straw bed and table, but it's well cared for. Cyno is also well cared for, with his hair brushed and braided-- something Tighnari knows he didn't do since Cyno never had the patience for that. 

Cyno looks up when Tighnari enters and, for a moment, stares lifelessly before something like recognition enters his gaze. He smiles and says, "Tighnari," his voice hoarse from lack of use, and Tighnari breaks. Cyno is obviously not living in the same world, but he recognizes Tighnari, which is more than Tighnari expected. He gets Cyno to eat and drink while there, and Cyno leans against him happily.

Tighnari reluctantly has to go but promises he'll be back. He returns to school, finishes his degree, and then leaves for the Avidya Forest with an adamant refusal to work with the Akademiya, partly because of what happened to Cyno.

Every two months, Tighnari takes two to travel and stay in Aaru Village with Cyno. The only reason he doesn't take Cyno back to Gandharva Ville is because he knows Cyno loves the desert. 

Tighnari learns the name of everybody in Aaru Village and spends his time there helping treat their ailments in thanks for their care for Cyno. He brings Cyno incense (that he personally can't stand the smell of anymore), honeyed dates, dried mangoes, notebooks and pens, tea, etc., and tells Cyno all about the rain forest even if Cyno isn't lucid.

“The teacup makes more sense now.” Garrett shook his head, his sandy hair tied in a low ponytail whipping from side to side. “I knew it. Dratted lobsters and their bloody tea.”

Holly raised her cup in a polite toast, her pinky finger lifted up as etiquette demanded. “Cheers, darlin’.”

Her unapologetic Britishness earned her a look of pure revulsion.
