Blog Entry #7

Initially, the known banking system was under the control of the Banco Nacional de Costa Rica, an entity reorganized from the old Banco Internacional in 1936. Later, in 1948, the nationalization of private banking and the need for an efficient national banking system made the creation of an independent Central Bank urgent. This need was formalized with the promulgation of Law 1130 on January 28, 1950, officially establishing the BCCR as the country's highest economic authority.

The BCCR initially assumed the functions of the Issuing department of the Banco Nacional de Costa Rica, operating under the provisions of both laws until the promulgation of Law 1552, known as the Organic Law of the Banco Central de Costa Rica. This provided a more solid legal structure for the bank's operation. In 1995, it was replaced by Law 7558, thus adapting the legal framework to contemporary economic needs.

Regarding the role of the BCCR, it plays a crucial part in economic stability and growth. It develops monetary policy, which it uses to adjust the level of interest rates in the economy, as well as the amount of money issuance; provides financial stability by supervising other banks and financial institutions to ensure good practices; conducts economic research to make informed decisions when implementing its policy; and regulates the level of foreign exchange to maintain a stable exchange rate.

All these activities carried out by the BCCR have contributed to the country by helping maintain a stable inflation level, providing greater competitiveness in international markets, and implementing measures to stabilize the financial system during times of crisis. Overall, its role has been fundamental in shaping the country's economic landscape.

Weatherstones Remembered

7/20/1987

I’m thinking about writing a short story with many pages called “Wheatherstone remembered”.

It would be a diary trip through my year in Sacramento, 1986-1987. It would take you down as the whale dives down. To a place where the “I don’t know shelf” lives and is full—It would throw the year out onto your “I don’t know” shelf.

I’d love to preserve the feel of the place, of Weatherstone’s

 With the Weatherstone’s photos and paintings and drawings.

I’d love to recapture the essence of the sweetness of cognac and espresso and Daryl.

And s burgeoning sexuality sprinkled and messed up (no comb!) in a billowing breeze of NEW LIFE.

I’d love to convey truly giving through the law.

And, I’d love to show how they all exist, like the puzzle pieces and the trees—humming in harmony. Three different worlds—one world.

Might be good to take the year (1986-87) along and the writings and the drawings to Zoe’s and do it.

End of entry.

Please see preceding Weatherstone Remembered photo and art.

What’s the thing ya’ll miss most from when you were alive and relatively normal?

Entry #7

A.K - Not being tethered to a jackass who killed me. Amy, too.

B.T - I liked acting, don't like where it's lead me, but I do miss having something that I enjoy and keeps me busy.

J.M - Messing around with the instruments in Tim's apartment. It was nice.

So sad that my refund is taking so long🥺

[sudsnduds]

if you didn't notice, there's, like 5 new entries there about the... you know, donations.

i would feel bad if i didn't decide to try my best to support those people. and i considered almost not doing so, but because of the ongoing war, i had to think twice about it. that's why i decided to help.

you should consider the situation that they're in too. we're living at a very turbulent time here, just like what happened in the previous years.

while i may not have the monetary funds to support them, i hope you can do what we should all set out to do and send our offer of gratitude to them through your help.

thank you.

🎁 [BG] CAS Filters -- I did it, baby! 🎓 INSTRUCTIONS (IMAGES) NOW AVAILABLE!

☠️ REMINDER: Double-check the OP for updates!

⚔️ Requires - TS4: BASE GAME

☄️ Updated - 5/22/2025

🚀 Initial Release - 4/22/2025

🎁 Download and Discussions: https://www.patreon.com/posts/126616540

🗺️ Modding Announcements: https://www.patreon.com/posts/109291501

⚙️ EUREKA! I figured it out! I can now create custom filters in CAS for just about anything. This is going to ruin my life… but maybe it'll make The Sims 4 a little more tolerable for you.

🦄 Re-blog this post. Share it around. @ your favorite creators. Tell your friends and your anemones. This is happening even if I have to do it myself.

📸 I will take better screenshots when I get the chance. I literally figured out how to do this in the middle of doing my BASE GAME CAS Overrides, CAS Add-Ons, and CAS De-Bloating™. In other words, figuring this out completely derailed my modding life.

—

🌸 WE CAN DO THIS. YOU AND ME. TOGETHER:

For all intents and purposes, this is a "community project". I am willing and able to create and maintain the required override, the hundreds upon hundreds of unique 9-digit "IDs" for the "TagValueNumber", and the unique Strings, etc., but I can't possibly override every custom CAS item in existence.

Help me make this a reality, and also, keep your fingers crossed that the override doesn't break under the weight of the hundreds upon hundreds of entries I'm adding to it.

Oh hai, @sims4studioofficial. Can you add a BATCH FIX that <LOOKS THROUGH MY WISH LIST> allows us to add a "SpecialContent" TAG with a custom "TagValueNumber" to a whole folder of CAS mods? Even if you can't get the "CategoryNumber" to copy properly, a BATCH FIX will at least eliminate half the busywork.

🎓 HOW IT DO, PIKACHU:

If you're well-versed in creating or modifying CAS content, all you need to do is add a new TAG to your swatches - you can do just the first swatch, but you should do all swatches - and change the "CategoryNumber" to "127" (without the quotes), and change the "TagValueNumber" to the desired 9-digit "ID".

For everyone else who is new to this, instructional screenshots have been provided under the spreadsheet. Don't forget to grab the JSON files and toss them into "Documents\Sims 4 Studio\Custom Tags"to make life easier.

🌸 A UNIQUE 9-DIGIT "ID" FOR EVERYONE:

Underrated JayVik moments/lines (15/∞)

"You had a vision?"

This entry is very loosely inspired by a post I saw about how Jayce really ought to be more bewildered by the fact that Viktor just told him he had a vision while tripping balls on his own lung-blood inside the HexGates. /paraphrased

I know on this blog we like to lovingly rip into Jayce for being a serial fumbler at supporting the casual love of his life (or no, I don't really like to do that - I love both my boys and just wish they didn't have to stay miserable until two minutes before annihilation is all), but this made me think of how there is one way in which Jayce is actually much "better" at supporting Viktor than the other way around.

See, Viktor - by virtue of being a person of uncompromising principles - is prone to the pitfall of... not being very generous with regards to other people's perceived failings or weaknesses. Or his own, for that matter.

Jayce isn't exempt from this - furthest thing from it, in fact.

Yes, Viktor does always quickly forgive (and doesn't forget) Jayce's numerous blunders. But that doesn't negate the fact that anytime Jayce ventures outside Viktor's expectations of who he is - or who he could be, ought to be -, the dissatisfaction is immediate, sharp and unfaltering. While Viktor's love for Jayce is unconditional, his approval most certainly isn't.

That's not a bad thing in itself; Viktor is (generally speaking) entitled to his disapproval, and as I said, it is merely the flipside of his strong convictions.

However, compare this to Jayce, who doesn't seem to have any set expectations whatsoever as to who Viktor should be. Or the decisions he should make. Jayce will happily go along with any twist and turn in Viktor's thought processes and actions, not only because they are fascinating to him, but because he trusts and admires Viktor implicitly.

(To my knowledge, the only time Jayce expresses discontentment with an action taken by pre-Herald Viktor is during their argument on the bridge, which is driven by immense worry and fear on Jayce's part, and he also backpedals immediately.)

Here are some examples of Jayce not beating the golden retriever allegations embracing Viktor unconditionally:

You're suggesting we should amplify the power of the thing that blew up half a building yesterday? Let's roll!

You're snapping at me for taking my new job too seriously? Yeah, guess I deserve that...

You had a vision? (While tripping balls on your lung-blood?) Tell me more!

The thing that came to you in said vision is making plants scream now? You're so cool, Vik.

You carved runes in your skin and started experimenting on yourself in ways your mentor said would make everyone hate you? "I did my best using the notes from your leg, recorded everything!"

Those experiments pulverised our only assistant? ...We can fix that.

You're leaving because affection isn't holding us together anymore..? Well, I'll stay and sleep here in case you come back, I guess...

You've lost your mind and got me in the exact position where I already saw my future corpse? Eh - I'll close my eyes and trust that you'll come to your senses in time.

The fact that - for however subject to change most of everything else about Jayce was - the love and acceptance Singed told Viktor he would have to forfeit in order to live never once wavered for even a second... it just kind of gets to me, okay?

Tolkien OC Week

A fandom event for OCs and underdeveloped characters in Tolkien's world!

This event celebrates both characters of Tolkien's world and our own characters that need more love, by creating and reblogging all kind of fanworks, like fanfiction, fanart, fanvideos, fancrafts, headcanons, playlists, edits, moodboards etc.

The event is modded by @yellow-faerie and @elamarth-calmagol, and will take place between 25th August - 31st August 2025 for the fourth year running.

NSFW text entries are allowed and we’ll tag them accordingly when we reblog them, but please put them behind a “read more”.

We'll also be tracking the tag #tolkienocweek during this week!

*******************************************

Event schedule for 2025:

1. Family Members (25th August)

Tolkien may have given us all the family trees of the hobbits, but he definitely didn't finish the ones for elves, dwarves, or rangers. Add an original character to a gap in a family tree, such as a missing wife, or create a whole new family member, like a second child for Galadriel and Celeborn.

2. Diversity (26th August)

It isn't the 1940s anymore! Create an OC whose race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, neurotype, or disability differs from what people usually imagine when they picture Middle Earth. For a world to feel real, its people must be diverse!

3. Forgotten Characters (27th August)

With so many versions of his stories, Tolkien dropped a lot of characters along the way. Choose one of these forgotten characters, such as Finwe's daughter Faniel, and share a fanwork about them.

4. Alternate Universes (28th August)

Share an OC from an alternate universe, such as a modern character isakai-d into Middle Earth, a daughter for Feanor, or a post-canonical love interest for someone who died in the original story. Anything goes!

5. Relationships (29th August)

Today, share an original character who is close to a canon character in some way. The relationship does not have to be romantic or sexual. The characters might be friends, colleagues, neighbors, or even arch enemies. What matters for this prompt is exploring the relationships between the original and canon characters.

6. Off the Map (30th August)

Tolkien's maps only stretch do far into the east and south, and his images of Valinor show even less. Today, give us a character who doesn't live within the bounds of the canonical maps. Maybe they live in Harad or Rhun, or the briefly mentioned continent created to the west of sunken Numenor when the world was made round, or even another planet within Arda.

7. Freeform

Every fandom week has to have a free day! Choose a prompt to do a second time, expand on an OC you already shared, or share an OC that doesn't fit any prompt.

*******************************************

Since we want to celebrate creations about neglected characters all year long, the mods will occasionally reblog posts and fancreations about OCs and underdeveloped characters. If you would like to see your post on our blog, you're very welcome to tag #tolkienocweek. Since tumblr's tagging system is often being faulty, don't hesitate to message us, too!

We are looking forward to see and share all the awesome work you come up with!

Valerie Gray Week Event

Tag: #valeriegrayweek2025

Hello Phantom! I have been thinking of coming up with this event for a while, so i would like to do the official announcement for Valerie Gray Week Event!

If you are interested in this phandom event, there is the overall explanation about it down below.

What is this event about?

This event is about Valerie Gray’s character that fans can participate in by making fanart, fics, etc by using the list of prompts that are going to be shared in this post down below.

Yes, this can include the ship between Danny x Valerie (Ghost Gray), but it is mainly intended to be centered around Valerie as a character because I think there have been quite a lot of other events about Ghost Gray in the past. I think it would be interesting to do something that makes Valerie stand on her own.

This event is going to last a week, with each day dedicated to a different prompt from the list.

When is the event going to take place?

In June, from Sunday 8th to Saturday 14th. It lasts seven days.

Guide and rules about the event:

-Remember to tag any entries/posts as #valeriegrayweek2025 -Things like horror and gore are allowed but shouldn’t be taken to an extreme -Not every prompt has to be used while participating in the event. A person can do one or two and that would be enough -It is okay if the person doesn't post the prompt in the same day it is intended to as long as they clarify which prompt is (like prompt from day 2 in the fourth day)

List of prompts for the event:

It would be:

Day 1-Dance/Prom Day 2-Ghost hunting Day 3-Family Day 4-Loss Day 5-Truth Day 6-In Between Day 7- Future

Some clarifications:

¨In Between¨ prompt is intended to be about Valerie developing ghost senses or ghost nature after gaining her suit upgrade from Technus in the episode "Flirting with Disaster¨. What do you think it happens to Valerie after this? Does she go through some changes?

¨Future¨ prompt is about Future!Valerie from the alternative timeline from the episode The Ultimate Enemy. If not it can be about how Valerie would be like growing up and what she would be doing during those years.

Thanks to @forestfairyunicorn and @lisartino for helping me with the list of promts!

*In any case you have any questions about the event, you can DM me or send me an ask to my blog.

See you there!
