#I am VERY thorough about it

[yeehaww-sims]

hiii i saw ur rb about retagging ccs. can u perhaps share ur document? cus im so lost on where to put them AAAAA tyyyia !!

Hell yeah I can! This is where I personally move certain pieces of CC to:

SKIN DETAIL:

Forehead -> Most of my overlays are here, but I don't often touch those. Facial markings are also here. Mostly a miscellaneous category.

Mouth Crease -> More overlays, if I needed something from Forehead. Mostly a miscellaneous category.

Freckles -> Just freckles, but I also have some full detail skin overlays that I also put in here.

Dimple Left -> I used to have top surgery scars in here, but I need to move them all to Upper Body Scar. Mostly a miscellaneous category.

Dimple Right -> Heterochromia, though I might move them to Occult Eye Socket

Lip Mole Left -> Tails [fantasy, animal, etc]

Lip Mole Right -> Ears [fantasy, animal, ones with piercings attached, etc]

Cheek Mole Left -> Antennae

Cheek Mole Right -> Extra head things, like horn overlays/accessories, feathers, things that attach to other pieces.

Acne -> Horns, Halos, and all matter of Head Things like that.

OCCULT/FACIAL SCARS:

Occult Brow -> Third eyes, 3d eyes, etc. The furry muzzels by Crow I also have here. Also a miscellaneous category.

Occult Left Cheek -> Hair Ombres/Overlays

Occult Right Cheek -> Accessory facial hair, extra ombres that have multiple layers, hairlines

Occult Eye Socket -> Non-default/Face Paint Eyes

Occult Eye Lid -> I haven't moved them yet, but this is where I plan on putting all of my eyelashes! And to access this you need a CAS menu unlocker, like this one by Crilender

Occult Mouth Scar -> Mouth overlays, extra teeth like Tusks and stuff. I also have fishy hand webbing here, but there's only one or of those.

BODY SCAR:

All Body Scar categories have prosthetics moved to their applicable spots, so like prosthetic left arms go in left arm scar, etc.

Top surgery scars go in chest scars.

Weird scars that don't really have a place I put in back scars.

Weird skin things things also go here. For example I Sewersims' Gnarly Arm Spikes here. Zaneida's fins could also go in here.

I haven't finished rearranging all of my scars yet fdsjkfdslkjs

TATTOOS:

Lower Arm Left -> Miscellaneous category. Put skin details/markings in this here that you don't want to conflict with most tattoos.

Upper Arm Left -> Tattoos, unchanged.

Lower Arm Right -> Miscellaneous category. Put skin details/markings in this here that you don't want to conflict with most tattoos.

Upper Arm Right -> Tattoos, unchanged.

Leg Left -> Tattoos, unchanged.

Leg Right -> Animal nose overlays.

Lower Back -> Tattoos, unchanged. I also usually use the gills overlay that I have in this category specifically. You could put markings here if you wanted.

Upper Back -> WINGS. I cannot stress enough if you want wings forever put them in upper back.

Lower Chest -> Tattoos, unchanged. This is also where most of my body hair still is.

Upper Chest -> Tattoos, and also full body overlays, like scales.

ACCESSORIES:

Left Wrist -> I used to keep Accessory Jackets here, but some I've moved to Toenail. Garters also are in here.

Right Wrist -> Jacket extras, like if an accessory jacket has an extra piece to it.

Gloves -> Gloves, MOST clothing overlays, accessory bras/shirts.

Rings -> I try to keep this clear for only rings EXCEPT: I use Ring Finger Right for Extra Props, like if a Sword went in Toenail, it's Sheath would go here.

Fingernails -> I just moved all of my nails here.

Toenails -> PROPS. I put ALL of my props in here, and it decluttered SO MUCH. I also put Belts, Weird Accessories, Backpacks/Bags, and Jackets in this one, as well as weird overlays that can't go in gloves. [Like shirt overlays that I might use gloves with]

Leggings/Tights -> Accessory underwear.

Socks -> Socks, but also BELLY BUTTON PIERCINGS.

GENERAL:

A lot of things I just leave where they are, just because I don't have better places for them

Some things that I've custom recoloured/duplicated I will have in multiple categories. For example, I have the blush I use for all my sims, I edited to show up in every single Occult Face category, the skin detail eyeliner I have is as well.

Again this is all what I, personally, do. If you feel like you want something else in a different category, go for it! I still need to shuffle things around, but it's my general rule of thumb. Go with your gut! You have a good day 🧡🧡🧡

Hi Luna. I just wanted to say, you’re my favorite Death Note blog. It’s always a pleasure to see your posts. I greatly value thoroughness as a personality trait, and your fleshed out and thoughtful analyses tell me that is a trait that applies to you. I strongly admire your attention to detail. Even when our opinions differ, it makes my day better to see what you have to say about my favorite manga. I hope you’re having a good day!

Thank you!!

Honestly, this makes me very happy especially with the opinions differing part. I'm unlikely to significantly change my mind about anything DN after all these years, but I'm always glad when people don't just take my word as gospel! I may love being right, but I love people critically engaging with both the canon and my writing even more. Giving food for further thought is about the best thing you can do as a fandom analyst, I feel.

if this round of hair dyeing doesn't stick well enough i'm officially denouncing good dye young as absolute trash

[badolmen]

The thing they don’t tell you about getting into a fandom a decade late is that you will feel like an infant compared to everyone else who seem like elder gods, but you are also the most qualified to separate fanon from canon as the brain rot has yet to progress past the ‘I just think they’re neat’ stage.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

number one: HI HELLO I LOVE YOU FOR THIS /platonic

number two: i.... have not written five fics that would be applicable for this (oops)

"This isn't real. It... it was just a nightmare. A lucid dream of a doomed timeline, crafted of guilt and subconcious. To wake up, perhaps he needed to give in, let the creeping fog wash over him... After all, there was no point in fighting the inevitable." Several months after the invasion in New York, Leo wakes up surrounded by a nightmare he thought he had escaped -- and he's not alone. Delirious, scared, and confused, the only thing he wants is to find his way home. But things are never that simple. aka: a (reverse?) future crossover fic that features angst, hurt/comfort, my fucked up reimagining of the apocalypse timeline, and a lot of details that might become plot-relevant later (ahahaha... dw abt it)

this fic is very much a slow-burn. i have a lot planned, so i spend a lot of time weaving in details/foreshadowing that won't pay off for a while. as it stands, we're around 50,000 words in and i'm just about to get into the main plot. so.... yeah haha (really want to get the next chapter out this sunday/monday, but we shall see haha.)

(i am so bad at hyping up my own writing, so i hope my commenters do not mind me using some of their reviews):

frequent commenters my beloved <3

(this is not the entirety of this review btw -- if you want to read the entire comment, you can do so here. mild spoilers (nothing that would matter), but it goes very in-depth about what you can expect from my style haha.

credit to @shadowbends, you are so cool, and every time i need motivation, i just reread this comment.)

*The bunny continues to ride on Kim’s shoulder as the two get closer and closer home, looking around absentmindedly*

*She pulls out her drink with a small grunt, and after struggling to take a sip, she speaks*

Hey what happened in the grocery store? I meant to ask earlier but kinda got a little distracted :3

-🐇 (Shockingly she hasn’t spilled any of her drink onto Kim)

(ooc: since Ramona is here now, I'm moving forward with my last reply in mind!)

*Reassured that the bunny is seemingly okay after her jerky motion from before, Kim lowers her hand.*

What? Oh, the thing with the eggs.

*Kim glances back to Ramona before letting out a short sigh and looking back up at her passenger.*

Apparently eggs are a life or death matter for some people, and I was being a selfish bitch picking out the ones I had.

*Her right eye twitches again, and the icy feeling continues to dissipate, seemingly thawed by the enroaching rage.*

So I had to knock out that lady, since she decided violence was the answer she wanted. And then after her I had to deal with some of the employees...

*She lets out a long, annoyed sigh, lowering her head slightly.*

I hate when stores have fight squads... Saves me from having to waste my own money on them though.

sometimes, the folks from the military disaster podcast you're listening to will, for reasons incomprehensible to any human being, do a dramatic reading of t-rex erotica, and you just have to live with that fact
