i think honey has a habit of repeating words other ppl say (liek echolalia) so at some point they catch themself repeating one of guy's. . . .. many references . . . and then die a little bit inside

One of my favorite things will always be Percy meeting a fucking god, one of the Olympians, and being like, “You’re Luke’s father.”

Hermes: . . .

The other is Percy— fuck, everyone — saying how hot Luke are.

So I originally wrote this back in August when this release was fresh and then!!! APPARENTLY!!! just COMPLETELY forgot to post it!! so you get it now, three months late.

Some of the dialogue from the Guardian Tower has been living rent free in my head and now I want to yell about it because it’s SO GOOD for background lore

Okay, so, on the first floor, Mindi tells us this:

I really like this because it helps illustrate one of the logistical problems of the Rose. Like, even if you took away everything else that makes them bad (which, admittedly, is most of the organisation and its purpose), the fact that they tend to, by default, present themselves as the only option and drive out competition is bad. On paper, a force of people trained in combat against magical threats, with reasonably easy access to that training, which has garrisons stationed across the land, is actually a pretty good solution to the whole Recurring Evil Magical Threats thing. We know this because the guardians and the paladins and the dragonslayers exist! They do this! The Rose seems to make membership easier to access but, frankly, I suspect that is in part because their training is less thorough.

And when the Rose show up and drive those other groups out (like they’ve done with the Guardians), they don’t actually improve anything. Best case scenario, everything is exactly the way it was before. More likely, things would get worse, because the people with active experience defending a particular area have been driven away and now the Rose members have to play catch-up

(A good example of how on paper a group like the Rose could help an area is Book 3 Amityvale. The local Guardians were long gone, so the Rose were able to help without doing that extra damage and made Amityvale a safer place to live....... but that’s specifically for the human inhabitants. Plus, we know they’re affecting the magic of the area - Amaris’s moon has started having phases - and that’s! probably not good! Also see: Raven having to flee for her own safety after getting bitten by a werewolf. Even where they are ostensibly doing the most good, the Rose are still an active danger to many, even their own in the wrong circumstances)

And, meanwhile, on the ground floor...

......further proof that the Rose actively try to drive competition out of the area. Falconreach has repeatedly made it clear that they want nothing to do with the Rose and they keep picking fights with the patrols.

Hi, in your updated Sims Apocalypse Challenge, what do you mean by "may only be suppressed?" This part is confusing me.

Based on some old school apocalypse rules - the idea is that a restriction might only be lifted temporarily in some cases unless a separate restriction is lifted first.

Which I know is confusing, so for example, the Education restriction says Engineering may only be suppressed until Education is lifted. This means if you reach the top of the Engineering field before Education, the Engineering restrictions are only gone until the sim that lifted them dies.

So if Joe Sim is in Education and Jane Sim is in Engineering and maxxes her career first, Engineering restrictions are only lifted temporarily. They will be put back in place once she dies unless Joe Sim finishes Education.

According to old school rules it would say if Jane died before Joe finishes Education you'd have to do Engineering all over again to permanently lift Engineering restrictions - I personally find that kind of unfun, and in that scenario would permanently lift Engineering restrictions once Education is finished if Engineering had been completed at any point previously. Up to the individual and how much they want to grind though.

Hopefully that makes sense? I'm not the most succinct person in the world.

The OG sims 2 Apocalypse Challenge was all about the difficult grind, so I'm trying to continue that fun tradition, lmao.

Fat people deserve mobility aids, too. No matter if it's connected to their fatness or not, because having a mobility issue that is connected to one's fatness won't change that they're still fat and still have the issue at hand. Fat people don't deserve to "tough it out" because fatness should be this divine punishment doled out to those who "deserve" it. Fat disabled people deserve to have the peace of mind that they can exist in whatever way is most comfortable and accessible to them

Confessional... things get complicated when you're a ghost.

@i-am-as-normal-as-you-are asked for, and this is a literal quote, "R!Edwin going to a confessional (full angst)" so yeah... full angst indeed.
