Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. (26) My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. —Psalm 73:25-26

" CAN'T TELL. DID THE PROTHEANS HAVE POKER?  shame if you didn't — with that face, you'd have a hell of an upper hand. " ... were they on better terms, shepard might consider this a terrible slip of the tongue. the words came much too caustic ( spoken with a sharpness as though the teeth they slipped through were primed to bite ). the second they left his lips, shepard snapped his mouth shut and tightened his jaw. he might have regretted the jab... were they on better terms.

as it were, he stands his ground, arms folding and lips pressed thin as he surveys the prothean in the dim of the room. first grunt, now javik: it seems the cargo hold has been designated with squirreling away things that reek of hazard and of a brutish, but cunning, sort of hostility. ( ordinarily, shepard would say, people tailored exactly to his taste. but he doesn't know where he stands with javik. ) shepard's shoulders tense lightly at the flicker of a growl in the less-than-amused response. despite shepard's poor verbal restraint, he knows very well not to take javik lightly.

shepard came to make light conversation — though he isn't yet sure if that's possible with javik — to make attempts to know javik as a soldier and as a member of his crew. but it's not so easy to wash away the bitterness that still sits heavy in his chest.

' those who share my purpose become allies. those who do not become casualties. ' finally. someone with equal resolve. though, should shepard expect anything less from the protheans' embodiment of vengeance? ' then i'd say you've found an ally. the goal of this ship is to wipe the reapers from existence. ' that was the least that shepard could offer, wasn't it? vengeance — for the death of a people and of an empire. ' but how far are you willing to go to achieve that goal? ' javik had turned to him then, had drawn closer, and shepard remembers fighting the momentary urge to step back. few people have ever unnerved him to such a degree, but javik was, and is still, an anomaly. a physiology incomprehensible to this cycle, a face completely ( for lack of a better word ) alien, his capabilities yet unknown. if javik is to be believed, then evolution has been nowhere near as gracious to the current cycle as it was to the protheans. and shepard believes him. he knows a hunter — an apex predator — when he is face-to-face with one. he had felt it in the strength of javik's hands when the prothean had snatched him twice by the arms; shepard's skin still crawls with the unexpected touch ... with the terrible thought that someone has been inside his head, has read his every thought intimately. he had stood firm. perhaps leaned back in the slightest, wary of another attempt at making contact, as javik loomed closer. but javik had kept an arm's length between them this time. shepard watched as his nostrils flared and all his eyes slid shut. ' ... i do not believe you, commander. lying is a biological marker. there is doubt behind your words. ' ... what the hell was shepard supposed to say to that? but his silence was evidently answer enough for javik, who had stepped away as liara then shifted the conversation to the shard. and all the while shepard had stood, the words still ringing in his ears.

... shepard drags himself back to the present, breaking the long seconds of silence with a quiet sigh. his hands grip at his upper arms where the prothean's fingers had pressed as they drew out visions of the beacon. the fractured memories shepard had fought to stifle.

" ... sorry. you said you'd fight with us. but it didn't seem like you were taking our efforts seriously when we first spoke. "

he does his best to manage the undercurrent of resentment in his tone. fights the instinct to snarl, too, and to accuse in turn. maybe in another world ... when he was just a bit younger, just a tad more hot-headed. it would be stupid to lash out over this — showing insecurity over javik's prior words would only speak to what the prothean perceives to be their lack of resolve.

" understand that i mean to stop the reapers. at any cost. "

@serenitii-hime continue from here

Serenity has been happily content to spend time with Atem. Sneaking to the Earth more and more, despite the growing dangers lurking from the Golden Kingdom, from the depths of the Gardens where Helios protects. The darkness which had begun to taint other regions in the world against the moon, against Selene and her people. People who coveted them.

It was why she was surprised to see him meeting her at night in the palace gardens. His kingdom was beautiful, in a way that was different from her friend Endymion's kingdom.

When she feels the pharaoh's arms her body relaxes and in turn her arms go around him, and she places a kiss to his cheek. It was very dangerous, the game they're playing. Neither one seeming to want to admit to deeper feelings, but also neither one wanting to ruin what they had now.

"I'm attached to you too, I think~"

Exterior’s world, beyond the walls of the kingdom he was ruling, remained something he stayed pretty much ignorant of --- of course, knowledge from other nations were a necessity for protecting his people, in which wise decisions would avoid unfortunate consideration or opportunities coming from that outsider’s world, perceiving an occasion to influence their country beyond what they could claim. Responsibilities inside his fragile shoulders, fulfilled of an awareness upon divine position he represented in middle of the human world, as a keeper of dimensions’ doors, and the safety of an entire nation generated that compromised confusion in front of another monarch. People of the moon seemed as much unreachable than the Moon herself, that welcoming her once in a while, that descended from the sky, in which feminine attributes forced him to reconsidering how usually it was perceived, and yet, remained frustrated in which manners their stories could be told and remaining private. A king needed to share his personal affairs of his heart and his life with many people, in which the court wanted to be certain his exposure was carefully controlled --- Even if inside private doors, some papyrus confessing admiration and devotions towards that moon, even if written though his common language, what if someone else of the court noticed it ? What if the court judged around him an interest towards a realm that cannot be explained into casual terms ? What if that fragment of knowledge was stolen?

Inside youth, his relationship with Serenity was a secretive solace, in which he was no more Pharaoh, but reacted as the younger tender man he attempted to be each day. Worrying a little more concerning possible ascension of the darkness, in which his presence, nevertheless, needed another time to be compromised for avoid worries of his heart creating unexpected damages. There was some price to magic, this has been taken in consideration since the beginning. Though, as a human being, feeling flattered to sensing somewhere to be associated to higher dimensions confused him mostly. Inside the public spheres, Serenity presence remained a difficult presence to explain, in which he had summarized it as a faraway land. Even since the first gaze, he sensed some kind of connection --- as something that cannot be explained. The Moon was reflective a hope and an innocence in which he believed of the former, and wished retaining the latter, meanwhile he sensed dangerous among obscurity. In private --- there was less that fear embracing him when he could embrace her, accepting he was touching something extraordinary and off world, as sensing himself so reduced, so little regardless to be another Pharaoh holding the world into his shoulders. No one could explain to him how he was supposed to becoming the sunlight of an entire nation, to be that illumination in which millennium of remembrances would following him down. Blushing at the kiss on his cheeks as the action has been made harmlessly, he blushed a little more towards her admission in answer to his. ❝ You’ve think ? ❞ Hurt was confesse, as the consideration he might have for her was too excessive, or misjudged, meanwhile stay hesitant confused about what importance he represent to her, as an human being. ❝ Do you have doubts ? ❞

@fairyethia : ❝ what’s with the sass … ❞ / from Tayuya!

An eyebrow is raised, then she places her hands on her hips with an obvious frown on her face. Back then, she never thought much about her, Tayuya——there were far greater things to worry about, and well, Sakura is a grudge-holder towards certain people. Ino-pig, certainly plenty of grudges for her; Tayuya also gets one, but the grudge Sakura holds for her is not stemmed from petty childhood rivalry like with Ino-pig. 

Because of her, Sasuke-kun——

❛  What's up with the rudeness?  ❜ Her eyes are narrowing with a warning. Sakura is ready to shift into her battle stance should anything escalate for whatever reason. Now that her mission to retrieve the herbs her hospital needs from the specialists staying in Suna is over, she isn't saddled by any time restrictions to go back to Konoha. She is in no rush to deal with this. ❛  If you're here for a fight, then I've got the fire to dish out for it. I'm pretty sure you're not here to just say hi to me.  ❜ 

After giving the area a quick glance, though, Sakura feels more bemused than annoyed. This village is very small, not even marked on most maps. She planned to only stop here to rest for a few hours before continuing the trip home, but to find a former Sound shinobi here? Odd. Suspicious, even. If this meeting of theirs happened before the war ended, Sakura would've suspected some sort of foul play, perhaps an ambush——but the war is over now. This makes Sakura's ire dissipate a little, just enough to be civil. No point in stirring drama in such a peaceful place anyway, and to be fair, Tayuya didn't attack her yet. Sakura imagines they'd already be exchanging blows otherwise. ❛  And why are you here anyway? Traveling too?  ❜ A careful inquiry, polite enough to not 'sass' her.

❝ there you are. i was getting worried. ❞

last of us (show) starters || accepting

"I apologize. I should have informed you about... my absence."

Pain keeps pulsing through his veins, inside his head, in rhythm with a steady heartbeat; Khan is still standing, he won't budge, he won't break under whatever the Admiral is doing to him - not until he's freed his family, including Vega, and himself from that old man's grasp.

A pair of nostrils flare as Khan inhales, then exhales, slowly so, with his bright blue eyes focusing on the massive screen in front of him. This room, existing outside of their prison cells, is accessible to both of them; Similar to an observation deck on board of a starship, it offers a seating area as well as a massive screen to show off the night sky for them to look at in the late evening hours.

It's ironic, in a way - Marcus uses them to his advantage, causes pain both mentally and physically, tortures their minds and bodies... and yet he's offering them this room within what is the designated zone they're allowed to roam freely in, a place to recuperate, basically, until it's time for Khan and Vega to get locked up for the night once more.

He blinks, his head finally turning as he does to have his gaze linger on her instead now, an ocean meeting emeralds. A few seconds pass as silence stretches between them, accompanied by a throat working as Khan swallows; He can still taste copper at the back of his tongue, but his injuries are healing well.

"I needed a moment to..." A moment of hesitation, to form a thought. "---Reflect."

[thebigshotman]

He’s sitting at his desk in his shop, grin lighting up his face like usual, but it seems a little more genuine than normal. The Christmas wreath Eileen gave him is still gently placed on top of his head, like some sort of festive halo, and he’s swapped out his usual black jacket with the maroon one she gave him last year, in a different timeline where he didn’t go crazy.

Maybe it’s because it’s made of real, normal clothing fabric and not scratchy doll material, but it feels…insulated. Warm. Like her love is encircling him, even in this cold, dark part of town.

There’s a soft hum of white noise coming from his throat, as if the very idea of a Christmas decoration being close to him is on the cusp of making his voice go haywire, but even if it did, he doesn’t know how much he would fight it.

He’s genuinely feeling a little festive. A feeling he hasn’t felt in decades. And it’s all thanks to his Angel.

I remember one character from a different book series appearing in one of the sookie stackhouse books but I can't remember who but also none of the other books mention vampires. But they were written before and so you could say it was before the vampires came out

@thatsneakymedic​ asked:

He stare at their teeth through their lips for a second before deciding to take the courage to ask them something that not many would normally ask.

"Kisame-san,  this may come across as awkward and feel free to say no.  But, may I examine your teeth for a moment? I am curious about them since I heard that Hoshigaki teeth are more different than other Mist ninjas"

“Oh—that's what you were looking at, neee.” The dubious gaze at his lips was concerning, a little embarrassing even. There was something in it? a piece of food? The shinobi brushed his teeth thoroughly after every meal to avoid any situations like that, since he was always worried with the endless unfunny “fish breath” jokes.

“Curiosity killed the dolphin. you know? Kekeekeke. You’re right, per example! It may seen that I lack molars, but they’re here! Just waaay more sharper than other mist ninjas.” He took a seat, to make it easier for the medical shinobi to reach him. “ Hmmm hmm~ I don’t mind at all, Kabuto san. Just make sure your hands are clean, nee.” He opened his mouth, showing all the greatness of his jaws.

🎁 [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

⚙️ 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:
