As Hex is a night owl, she’s not ready for bed once she gets back from her date with Vaughn.

She’s in such a good mood that Diesel seems a little wary of her when she first walks through the door. He warms up to her within minutes, but he’s so used to seeing his mum feeling sad! She scoops up her fur son and chats to him about her date as she heads to the kitchen to make dinner.

Hex flips on the radio as she cooks, humming to the music. She avoids radio stations usually, not wanting to hear any music from her mothers’ band, the Fated Mates. It’s late at night, so catchy tunes to keep a sim dancing all night long are the only ones playing.

Once she’s eaten, she’s still not ready to chill out. Instead, she pulls out her phone and prints out the cute selfies she took with Vaughn. She scatters a few around the hallway with her other photos, then saves her favourite one to sit in a frame on her desk. She places it next to a photo of her ex boyfriend, Weatherly. She’s not ready to take his photos down yet.

For the rest of the night, Hex hacks systems for extra simoleons whilst jamming away to the radio. Diesel hops up on her desk, curling up and falling asleep whilst she works.

Her life is finally moving forward!

Short explanation of what the hell the Luffy tab on top of the dashboard is:

- For some reason the tumblr marketing team decided to make a deal with Netflix to promote the new live action One Piece movie with a site wide tab, instead of like... An ad.

- The Tab started with the name Luffy, the protagonist of the series. It has now changed to Zoro. There's not explanation given but I suspect it's in the order of the One Piece rap

- The tab seems to be very broken, only showing 5-7 posts that were posted months ago. The users who's art and posts have been included were not asked permission to be used in an ad campaign.

- The disclosing of this being an ad has also been suspect, with many only finding out through word of mouth rather than the tab telling it. I'm not a lawyer but I think that's at least skirting a crime.

- The popular reccomendation is to not engage with the tab, because it'll encourage tumblr to pull more stunts like this. Their sponsors will be delighted the more you click, no matter if its out of confusion or not.

This whole thing is a mess and I hate how marketing teams are trying to bypass adblockers by making alternative ads that get people talking. The act of me posting this is what they want and I'm enraged.... Still, uh, I want to spread the info we've gathered as a community. Let me know if you find more or something is incorrect.

Ps. dont attack one piece fans, they didn't know this was gonna happen either. Please dont leave weird comments to the posts in the tab, the OPs are not involved.
