Weed or Flower? - April 2022 A weed is just a flower somewhere you don’t want it. The Desert Marigold (Baileya multiradiata) is sort of both. It is a wildflower that pops up like a weed throughout the desert. This particular plant is growing next to / in a fire circle at Rusty’s RV Ranch. MWM

marigold promises

— 31. "just" the lab report [☕︎ = 0.4k words]

As the hours tick by and the sun dips below the horizon, you find yourself still nestled on the worn couch in the cramped living room, poring over your textbooks. It's hardly an ideal study environment — the constant bickering between the seven-year-old you're babysitting and the sibling she likes to annoy hardly contributes to your concentration. Yet you stay anyway, driven by an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. You crave answers like a desert craves rain, and you won't rest until you've found them.

After all, it would be nice to see Rhinedottir again after all these years, wouldn’t it?

More time passes; the night sky unfurls. The clock marks the time 5:58 p.m., and a comfortable silence settles between the three of you. You and Albedo finally complete your lab report while Klee hunches over her worksheets, studying for an upcoming quiz.

“It’s getting pretty late, Cupcake,” Albedo starts. “Do you want to go ahead and head back to campus?”

You wave off his concern. “Curfew isn’t until a couple of hours from now. I can wait.”

The room falls silent again as you all return to your tasks. The only sounds are the scratch of Klee's pencil on paper and the faint hum of the AC. The stillness of the moment is interrupted only by the occasional rustle of pages or the tapping of keys on a keyboard. You feel a sense of calm wash over you, grateful for the respite from the chaos of the day.

You wish you could stay wrapped in this tranquility, even for just a moment longer.

But at last, the sound of the door unlocking rewards your hours of patience. Now that the moment is actually here, though, you find yourself frozen in place, all the words you’ve prepared escaping you.

Rhinedottir has always been strict with Albedo. She had never truly approved of your friendship with him, claiming that associating themselves with a competitor would only serve as a source of distraction.

That’s definitely one thing she has in common with your mother.

“Mom!” Klee gasps and runs to the door, laughing as she’s snatched into an embrace.

Their mother laughs in turn, “Klee, Albedo. How have you two been? Not too bored without me I hope.”

You recognize that voice. And it’s not the voice you expected to hear.

“Mhm! Albedo brought someone here and they’re super nice.” Klee rambles on about everything you did as she and her mother make their way into the living room.

You finally get a look at her.

"[Name]?" Alice greets, her look of surprise turning into one of joy, "It's been so long since I've last seen you! How have you been?"

— previous || masterlist || next

summary: you and albedo have finally reached a mutual understanding as your first year of college comes to a close. with a new school year comes a new beginning, and you start off strong with albedo asking you the oddest of arrangements: "would you like to be lab partners?"

author's notes:

idk how the college campus curfew works so shush suspend your disbelief. you’re sleeping in the same room as albedo ok

he also just bought you a shirt, undergarments, and some sweatpants. gotta make sure you’re comfy

(18/54) “The king threw a celebration on the 2500th anniversary of the Persian monarchy. It was the largest gathering of world leaders in history. He constructed a city of tents around the ruins of Persepolis, where Cyrus’s grandson Xerxes ruled the ancient world. 1500 cypress trees were planted in the middle of the desert. There were vast carpets of petunias and marigolds. The king opened the ceremony with a speech at the tomb of Cyrus The Great. As he spoke, his voice shook with emotion. He said: ‘Rest in peace, for we are awake. In a troubled world, Iran still bears the message of freedom and humanity. Even in the darkest times, the torch thou lit has never died.’ The king was at the height of his power. Oil prices were at record highs. With each passing year Iran grew wealthier and wealthier, and the king gathered more power into his hands. Every New Year I would gather the children together and read from Shahnameh about the story of Jamshid, the fourth king of Iran. Jamshid was the greatest king. The wisest king. The Iranian people gathered around him in adoration, and built him a throne of sapphires, emeralds, and rubies. He taught men to build buildings. He taught men to heal the sick. He unlocked all the secrets of the world. And his throne began to float into the air. With each new gift to the people, it rose higher. And higher. And higher. Until one day it rose too high. Jamshid lost touch with the people. He could no longer hear their voice. He no longer wanted their participation. He gathered his advisors around him, and announced: ‘All good things come from me. I am the maker of the world.’ As soon as he spoke these words, his throne began to fall. With tears of blood he begged for pardon, but none was given. And the dread of coming darkness was his lot.” 

سال ۱۹۷۱ شاه جشن ۲۵۰۰ سالگی شاهنشاهی ایران را برگزار کرد. این جشن بزرگترین گردهمآیی سران دولت‌های جهان در تاریخ بود. شهری از چادرها پیرامون بازمانده‌های تخت جمشید بر پا شد، جایی که نوه‌ی کوروش بزرگ بر دنیای باستان فرمان می‌راند. ۱۵۰۰ درخت سرو در میانه‌ی دشت کاشتند. همراه با فرش‌های پهناوری از گل‌های اطلسی و همیشه‌بهار. شاه با سخنرانی در کنار آرامگاه کوروش بزرگ مراسم را آغاز کرد. صدایش از سنگینی آن لحظه‌ها لرزان بود. او گفت: «کوروش، آسوده بخواب زیرا که ما بیداریم. و‌ برای نگاهبانی میراث پرافتخار تو همواره بیدار خواهیم بود. ایران در پهنه‌ی پرآشوب جهان پیام‌آور آزادگی و مردمی و پاسدار والاترین آرمان‌های انسانی‌ست. ای کوروش، مشعلی که تو افروختی هرگز خاموش نشده است. ایران نگهبان پیام آزادی و مردمی در این جهان پر آشوب است، حتا در تاریک‌ترین لحظه‌ها.» در آن زمان شاه در اوج قدرت بود. بهای نفت به بالاترین حد رسیده بود. با گذشت هرسال بر دارایی‌های کشور و قدرت شاه افزوده می‌شد. هر سال نوروز، برای بچه‌ها داستان جمشید - چهارمین پادشاه ایران - را می‌خواندم. جمشید پادشاه بزرگ آفرینش و سازندگی‌ست. پادشاهی خردمند است. ایرانیان ستایش‌کنان پیرامون او گرد آمدند و تختی از یاقوت کبود، زمرد و یاقوت سرخ برایش ساختند. جمشید از رازهای جهان پرده ‌برداشت. ساختمان‌سازی را به مردم آموخت. دارو و درمان بیماری‌ها را، نوشتن و بوی‌های خوش را، هرآنچه به کار زندگی شاد و آسوده بینجامد، پنهان نماند. خرد او بر همه هویدا بود. فره او چندان درخشان بود که تخت او به آسمان فرا رفت و ارجش با هر خدمت تازه به مردم فرا و فراتر رفت. غرورش چندان اوج گرفت که بزرگان کشور را فراخواند و گفت: چنین گفت با سالخورده مهان / که جز خویشتن را ندانم جهان / چو من نامور تخت شاهی ندید / جهان را به خوبی من آراستم / چنان است گیتی کجا خواستم. با راندن این سخنان بر زبان پیوندش با مردم گسست ،فره‌اش فروکاست. بختش رخت بربست. با اشک‌های خونین خواستار بخشایش شد، نابخشوده ماند. فرجامش دلشکار است

Flowers Default Replacement

A replacement for all square flower beds - a completely new look for your gardens!

The idea behind this replacement is that you can mix and match all flowers and create more meadows rather than perfectly square flower beds. Base game flowers all have different shape and height and look great when combined and mixed.

All meshes and most textures were changed, sometimes parts of Maxis textures were kept. Marigold V1 mesh is my conversion of a marigold flower by sim_man123 (original can be found here). Opuntia cactus mesh is a Sims 4 mesh converted, edited and retextured by me.

All flowers have dead state but no wilting animation. I’d recommend using perfect plants mod and not bother with overwatering and weeds 😉

Important:

This replacement is incompatible with other default replacements for flowers of any kind (mesh and/or texture) and possibly recolors (I didn’t test it but they may appear broken even for flowers with Maxis textures).

Marigold flower and Nopalito’s Prickly Pears have several versions, be sure to keep only one for each of the two!

Marigold V2:

Marigold V3:

Prickly Pears (V2 is a bit less saturated compared to V1):

All of them:

All packages are separated so you can pick and choose the replacements you want for your game.

If you are interested in evolution and creative process of this project, click here.

This replacement goes well with my trees and shrubs replacements.

Also, I highly recommend using this mod by @simsantoinc​ to get rid of outside shadows on all flowers.

Shrubs replacement is here

Unrest - VI

1,183 words. Original Work: The Jackal of An-Nadr.

For new readers, The Jackal is an ongoing whump series set in 1,200 BCE, where pre-Islamic fantasy meets the love of bloody sword fights, worlds that are as vivid and alive as the characters, and the agonizing loss being dragged away from home into a life you never asked for.

“That isn’t what I would call ‘powerless’, Al-Mantaqi,” the Quartermaster interrupted, “Sick or no, hurt or no, there is no mistaking what the dirtblood’s voice means. I have already broken up two fights in the last hour, and tensions are only getting worse. It cannot stay here.”

Ifyaa shifted uncomfortably, irritation written all over his face, “Just what do you propose we do with it? Dump it back into the desert and leave it to die in the wastes?” His eyes narrowed. “Or would you rather an execution so the crew can watch? That would be sure to settle their nerves."

The tip of Adrsiae’s blade ground softly into the wooden table as the twisted the hilt the other direction, so deep in thought that she didn’t seem to realize the damage she was doing to her prized desk.

Hidhialial held Ifyaa’s gaze, and then sighed. He readjusted the swords at his belt and wiped a hand down his face. 

With a small gesture of soreness, he pulled out another chair and settled stiffly into it. For once, he looked tired enough to show his age. “You know that isn’t what I want.”

A long moment of unbroken silence passed around the table.

The Captain spoke for the first time since they had entered her cabin, “Keeping a Son of Solomon aboard ship paints a target on our back that our entire world will turn its eyes to." She looked up at Hidhialial. “Including some powers that we would rather not have looking.”

"It's too late to keep the news contained. Everyone aboard already knows what we've found." Ifyaa pinched the bridge of his nose. "I wish we'd learned about it before exposing the whole crew. All hope of keeping this quiet just died between our teeth."

"There's nothing to be done for it now," Hidhialial said quietly. "If news gets to the cities, we'll have sentinels breathing down our backs within a fortnight. And if news gets to other ships? Well. The Oryx is fast, but a sparrow can only outrun a hawk for so long."

Adrsiae's voice was hard, "Killing it may be our only real option."

Hid sighed, closing his eyes. "No. I don't think it is. Not unless we want to be drowning in worse nightmares in another few decades."

"What do you mean?"

A look passed behind Hid's eyes that was almost one of pain. He didn't want to speak of this, every one of them could see it on his face. "They're coming faster every century. A millennia ago there were none. Now? There have been three in my lifetime alone, and that's only counting the ones we know about." Quietly, "Kill one, and two more are born. We can't keep on like this. With every death, history grows closer to repeating itself."

For a long while, that suggestion sat heavy over the four of them. That was a silence that was hard to break.

“Then we take it to Bu Mahmata,” Yeezumon said. All eyes, even the Captain’s, turned to him. The marigold-yellow fabric of the human’s turban spun through his hands, idly brushing over the embroidery at the edges. “The nobles would pay half the city to get their hands on it, and from there we can take our leave of the matter.”

“The Holy City is more than five months’ sail from here. If the crew doesn’t turn itself inside out by then, certainly other ships would have their claws in us by the time we see the city walls.”

“Do you really think the crew would so readily betray us?”

For a long moment there was silence. 

Adrsiae closed her eyes. “As much as I see these people as family, fear has a terrible way of leaking through the cracks. We cannot go forward under the assumption that the discovery will stay quiet.”

“Then we’ll offer them a share,” said Yeezumon. 

Ifyaa looked toward his husband, alarmed. But Yeezumon placed a hand over his to quiet his protests, and then continued. 

“One part in sixty to each of the crew members. For a Son? That is the same as almost five year’s pay to each of them, and I think you will find even the more contemptuous a lot more likely to hold their tongue for that much gold.”

The room went quiet, considering their offer. All was still, and eventually Hidhialial looked toward his Captain.

“It could work,” he said softly. “It incentivizes each and every one of them to keep their tongues under lock and key, and may even be enough to quell some of the tension.”

“But what is to be done with the human in the meantime?” Ifyaa asked. “We can’t just lock it in the hold. If we do, it will be broken and insane by the time we make it to the Holy City. Even a Son can’t be sold in that kind of condition.”

“For now it is in no condition to go anywhere but the infirmary and our cabin," said Yeezumon. "It may not be possible to keep it entirely out of sight, but at the very least we can keep it contained."

“Do you think that will be enough to satisfy the crew?” the Captain asked Hidhialial.

He let out a soft grunt, settling back into his chair. And then he conceded, “There is only one way to find out.”

She gave him a small nod. Then she turned to Yeezumon. “You do realize that as soon as this is offered to the crew it would become blood-bound. Are you prepared to uphold that promise?”

Yeezumon looked toward Ifyaa. What seemed like worlds passed between them, before Ifyaa gave his hand a small squeeze. Then he let out a breath and turned back toward his Captain.

“I don't see any other way out of this. And if the crew is going to be risking their lives, they deserve a share. I'm sure.”

She held his gaze for another long moment, then gave a small nod.

“So be it. I will leave the negotiation of rules between the two of you. Bring them to me before you share them with the crew. Ifyaa, it will fall to you to keep it alive between here and Bu Mahatma. Whatever resources you need, take them."

He touched his fingers to his temple. "Yes, Captain."

"Good." Adrsiae sank back in her chair, finally pulling the dagger free of her table. "Now get out of here, the lot of you. I need time to think."

They obeyed. Just before Yeezumon followed the others out, the Captain called after him.

The weight of those words was not lost on him. He let out a slow breath and touched his fingers to his temple. "Yes, Captain."

"Yeezumon." She was watching him from her chair. There was an intensity to those copper-grey eyes that had never before been directed at him. “The crew will hold you to your promise. But remember, I will be holding you to it as well.”
