✶ BACKSTORY.

triggers:      verbal  abuse,    alcoholism,    instance  of  violence,    child  neglect, death.

their  first  red  flag  was  the  night  she  was  born.    her  name  was  suppose  to  be  "mireya",  but  her  father  had  been  too  drunk  to  give  the  doctors  the  correct  name  and  her  mother  exhausted  from  more  than  just  birth  to  give  any  corrections.  so,    that's  who  she  became:    misery.    almost  poetic  in  a  sense  when  you  think  about  how  things  turned  out.  a  foreshadow  almost. life  growing  up  was  as  chaotic  as  one  could  picture.    her  mother  seemingly  numb  to  the  world  and  her  father  more  focused  on  getting  his  next  bottle  than  do  his  part  in  being  a  boyfriend  and  a  father.    nights  filled  with  the  loud  shouts  of  her  father  and  the  cries  her  mother  tried  to  keep  silent,  but  never  seemed  to  manage.  from  a  young  age,    missy  always  wondered  why  her  mother  put  up  with  everything  she  did.    why  she  stayed  when  every  night  ended  in  heartache.    misery  loved  her  mother  and  would  go  anywhere  she  would.  only  the  sentiment  was  never  shared. she'd  only  been  five  years  old  when  her  mother  disappeared  and  left  her  only  child  behind.  nothing  but  a  note  that  she'd  never  gotten  the  chance  to  read  before  her  father  ripped  it  to  shreds,  tossed  it  in  the  garbage  and  twisted  the  lid  open  of  his  next  whiskey  bottle.    misery  never  got  to  know  what  her  mother's  last  words  were  before  turning  in  a  ghost.   it  was  the  night  of  her  mother's  disappearing  that  she  learned  that  there  was  no  one  around  who  would  be  the  one  looking  after  her.    she  had  to  do  it  on  her  own  and,  on  top  of  that,  she  had  to  be  the  one  to  also  look  after  her  father.  that's  how  it  went  for  years.  misery  fending  for  herself,  turning  her  father  on  his  side  every  night  and  waking  up  early  enough  in  the  mornings  to  ensure  he'd  been  sober  enough  to  get  to  work.    by  night,    she'd  been  the  replacement  of  her  mother  in  her  dad's  eye.    a  face  that  reminded  him  so  much  of  the  woman  who  left  that  all  his  anger  seemed  to  pour  onto  misery  —  countless  nights  ending  the  same  way  her  mother's  had  until  her  skin  grew  tough  enough  that  she  didn't  cry  anymore.    it  didn't  mean  the  words  hurt  any  less. at  the  age  of  eighteen,    that's  when  missy  kissed  goodbye  the  life  she'd  been  forced  to  be  apart  of.    it  was  another  night  of  anger  being  thrown  at  her,  but  it  was  her  final  night  of  being  a  punching  bag  for  all  that  rage.    misery  didn't  keep  quiet  that  time.    no,    she  stood  up  for  herself.    said  some  equally  awful  things  to  her  father  (all  true)  and  when  he  realized  he  couldn't  break  her  in  the  same  way,  his  hand  struck  her  face.    that  was  the  end.    it's  almost  as  if  life  seemed  to  repeat  itself:    missy  had  become  a  ghost  just  like  her  mother  did.    packing  up  as  much  as  she  could  into  one  duffle  bag  and  hopped  onto  a  bus  with  whatever  cash  she  managed  to  save  up  throughout  the  years.  leaving  both  her  father  and  florida  behind  for  good.   becoming  a  ghost  in  people's  lives  is  how  she  chooses  to  spend  her  years. hopping  from  town  to  town,  state  to  state  all  while  leaving  her  mark  until  the  day  she  felt  like  she  was  ready  for  something  new.    jumping  onto  the  next  bus  or  train  without  as  much  of  a  goodbye  to  any  of  the  friends  she'd  met  along  the  way.    it's  always  been  easier  that  way  for  her.    a  girl  scared  of  building  true  connections  and  preferring  to  keep  everyone  at  the  surface.

the  only  dream  she's  ever  had  was  to  see  the  world,  focus  on  her  present  and  not  have  to  waste  her  time  worrying  about  what's  happened  or  what  could  come  next.    she  thrives  with  living  in  the  moment  and  that's  how  she  prefers  it. the  only  reason  she’d  come  back  to  town  was  to  bury  her  father.    she  didn’t  want  to  go.    for  her  father  had  been  dead  and  mourned  long  before  his  actual  departure,    but  despite  it  all,    she  can’t  bring  herself  to  be  that  cruel.    even  if  she  hated  her  father,    there’s  a  part  of  her  that  can’t  deny  that  she  also  loved  him.  but,  of  course,    coming  back  home  didn’t  come  without  it’s  issues    —    a  house  that  she  wants  nothing  to  do  with,  but  somehow  has  become  her  problem.  right  now  her  only  goal  is  fix  up  the  disaster  of  house,  sell  it  and  finally  disappear  from  palmview  for  good.

How old is the oldest movie you've ever seen?

My friend Nader and his family are still suffering under the besiegement and occupation of Gaza. Food and water have grown so scarce and expensive after two entire years of these genocidal conditions that Palestinians are dying of hunger and thirst in one of the gravest humanitarian crises in memory. If you are able to donate to help a Gazan family eat and drink and restore some hope, please please please consider helping Nader @abdalsalam2000 (# 4 on the vetted Gaza fundraiser list!) support his family.

Meet the seven new frog species we just named after iconic Star Trek captains!

Artwork by A. Petzold, CC BY-ND 4.0

At the right time of year along rushing streams in the humid rainforests that stretch the length of Madagascar's eastern and northern mountain ridges, otherworldly trills of piercing whistles can be heard.

Are they birds? Insects? Communicator beeps? Tricorder noises?

No, they're little treefrogs!

Until recently, we thought all of the populations of these little brown frogs across the island were one widespread species, Boophis marojezensis, described in 1994. But genetics in the early 2000s and 2010s showed that there were several species here, not just one.

Now my colleagues and I have shown that they are in fact eight separate species, each with unique calls!

These whistling sounds reminded us so much of Star Trek sound effects that we decided to name the seven new species after Star Trek captains: Boophis kirki, B. picardi, B. janewayae, B. siskoi, B. pikei, B. archeri, and B. burnhamae.

I subtly and not-so-subtly built some Star Trek references into the paper, but probably the best one is this one:

'Finding these frogs sometimes requires considerable trekking; pursuing strange new calls, to seek out new frogs in new forests; boldly going where no herpetologist has gone before.'

— Vences et al. 2024

There’s a real sense of scientific discovery and exploration here, which we think is in the spirit of Star Trek.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that there are at least two Trekkies amongst the authors (including yours truly). As fans of Star Trek, we are also just pleased to dedicate these new species to the characters who have inspired and entertained us over the decades.

On a personal note, this marks a milestone for me, as it means I have now described over 100 frog species! I am very pleased that the 100th is Captain Janeway's Bright-eyed Frog, Boophis janewayae (if you count them in order of appearance in the paper)—she is probably my favourite captain, and I really love Star Trek: Voyager.

You can read more about the discovery of these new species on my website! You can also read the Open Access paper published in Vertebrate Zoology here.

hi simblr, it's my birthday today! virgo supremacy! I decided to share one of my favorite recolors i've ever made (finally!!!). I sticker-ed up the City Living keyboard and added some other fun swatches. There is a functional version for use with the City Living EP, and a non functional deco version for both the floor and the wall! More info + download below the cut!

DETAILS:

This is a recolor of the keyboard that came with City Living, and the deco mesh separated by @pixlmonster. Unfortunately this means CL is required, I'm sorry! I was hoping the deco versions would work without CL but they do not. Mesh by pixlmonster is included.

There are 19 swatches. The first 6 are the more unique sticker-ed swatches, and some of my personal favorites. Swatches 7-11 are more patterned recolors, and the last 8 swatches are from @pictureamoebae's fluoro-pop collection. Sometimes you just need a neon pink keyboard, y'know?

You can see an unedited in game photo of all swatches right here (part one, part two, part three)

Custom thumbnails for the first swatch.

You can download a merged .package with the functional + deco versions, and they also come separated if you'd prefer to pick and choose.

CREDIT:

Thank you to pixlmonster for the liberated keyboard mesh and pictureamoebae for the fluoro-pop collection palette!

I'll be super honest: It's been a year since I first initially started this project and I didn't do a great job recording where I got all of the stickers used. I apologize. Some of them were in game assets already, found via petaluhsims' sticker sheets. Some were found via google/freepik and some came from other places that I'm sure I'm forgetting. I made the parental advisory + seattle grunge stickers on the first swatch myself. Simlish fonts were found via franzillasims' font masterpost. Thanks so much to all of the original sticker/pattern creators, all credit goes to them. I just compiled a bunch of stuff together.

thanks to sam @m0ckest for testing <3

here's an ugly GIF of all the swatches! I tried so hard to make it look better but alas. I have completely forgotten the art of GIF making. I still wanted to include it so y'all could see all of the swatches somewhat easily!

i like to imagine that dipper has a large stash of mabel-made sweaters we never get to see because it's summer and he is reasonable about not getting heatstroke

Chronic Sonic pt 10

Longest part yet good grief. This was a part i had planned since the first post i made though so that makes sense.

1. Sonic dropped his cuffs on purpose if that wasn’t clear. He views it as better to hurt more and feel like himself than hurt less and not recognize himself in his reflection. (This is bad because if the inhibitors are not only helping with the pain but are also there to prevent his condition from worsening. Without them, his body starts to take the hit again.)

2, Tails knows that Sonic dropped his cuffs on purpose but won’t outright call him out on it. He is, however, upset with him because now Shadow is having to sacrifice himself just to keep him alive and Tails can’t be mad at Shadow because he’s literally just doing what’s necessary to keep Sonic from destroying himself. So it’s scolding for Sonic.

3. Usually Shadow and Sonic would do battle over this but Sonic has just done battle before the start of this comic and his inhibitor cuffs are off which means he is about as physically weak as he can get. So if you’re wondering why Shadow was able to just slap his inhibitors on Sonic without any trouble that’s why.

4. Sonic gets his first taste of watching someone else actively partake in self-destructive behaviour and not listen to him when he tries to talk them out of it. This does snap him out of some of the mental mess he’s in, and he will stop trying to actively damage himself. For now. Old habits die hard though.
