Love The Sims 3 Lepacy Challenge but you play The Sims 4? Look no further for I have created a lepacy challenge for The Sims 4 right here!

Here is the Google Document for the rules or read below!

As someone who loves the Sims 3 lepacy challenge, I thought I would create one for The Sims 4. I’m aware there is one already made by annaliesembsims on Tumblr but it didn’t fit the criteria I was looking for in the challenge. Their challenge looks wonderful, I just play a little differently. Thanks to both the sims 3 lepacy creator and annaliesembsims! If you see any similarities below, all credit goes to them. Let’s get into the basics!

This is an expansion pack only lepacy challenge. You don’t need to add any game packs, stuff packs, or kits unless you want to. ***Personally, whenever I start a new gen I will also be downloading the game packs and stuff packs that came out that same year.

Unless specified, your sim may have any traits or aspirations you wish.

Feel free to tag me so I can see your wonderful posts!

Generation 1 (Base Game)

You need a fresh start. What’s better than packing everything you own and moving to a completely new town? You move to this new town lost and confused about your future. Somehow, you get a job even though you have no degree or credentials! While your job is tolerable, you’re mainly missing having friends and hobbies and a lover. Now’s the time to do all of those things with your new way of life!

Must live in one of the three base game worlds (Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, or Newcrest)

Must have a base game job

Must have at least 3 friends

Max two skills

Must complete a base game aspiration

Must get married to a townie

Have at least 2 kids

***Packs that came out the same year as base game: None

Generation 2 (Get to Work)

You always admired your parents but saw how they both dreaded going to work every day. You want to work in a field you’re passionate about. As a kid you always dreamed of being the big boss, whether that be as a doctor, scientist, detective, or business owner. Time to get to workin’!

Move to one of the other worlds from Base Game (or Get to Work)

Must become a doctor, scientist, detective, or own your own business

If you chose a career, you must reach level 10

If you chose owning a business, you must earn at least 25,000 simoleons before the end of the generation

Max skills needed for job

Marry a coworker (or customer) and eventually get divorced

Have only 1 child

Make sure your child maxes all skills from infant-child and reaches all of their aspiration goals before becoming a young adult

***Packs that came out the same year as get to work: Outdoor Retreat, Luxury Party Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff, Day Spa, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Spooky Stuff

Generation 3 (Get Together)

Your parents always pushed you to do your best in school to the point of having the Perfectionist or the Erratic trait. Once you became a young adult you decided you wanted to relax and have fun! The rumors of Windenburg’s parties have lured you to the scenic town. You still talk to your parents but are trying to distance yourself as they pressure you to settle down and get a consistent job.

Must have the perfectionist or erratic trait

Live in Windenburg

Must have one of the traits from Get Together (dance machine or insider)

Must have the Leader of the Pack aspiration and complete it

Never get married

Generation 4 (City Living)

Your parent showed you how to live life in an exhilarating way! While you enjoyed staying up late and eating junk food and basically having no rules your entire life, you also craved the stability that never came. Moving to San Myshuno always intrigued you but you knew you would never be able to afford it on your own. But, wait! Your best friend wants to leave Windenburg too! Isn’t that just dandy?

Live in San Myshuno with at least one roommate

Must have the Unflirty or Vegetarian trait

***Packs that came out the same year as city living: Movie Hangout, Romantic Garden, Dineout, Kids Room, Backyard, Vintage Glamour

Generation 5 (Cats & Dogs)

Growing up you had to deal with the hustle and bustle of city life. Everything was cramped, busy, and packed. There wasn’t even enough room for a pet. You saw an ad on Simtube about Brindleton Bay one day and ever since then, you have dreamed of living there. The fresh air, the pets, all of it sounds so enticing!

Generation 6 (Seasons)

Living in Brindleton Bay all of your life was great, except for the rain (listen…i know this isn’t technically right because you aren’t supposed to have seasons until your sims are young adults but work with me lol). While Brindleton Bay had all four seasons, you still felt it lacked something because of all of the rain. Time to move!

Generation 7 (Get Famous)

Small town life never intrigued you. You thought everyone was boring, the town you grew up in was boring, and nothing interested you. Except being famous. You would stay up late watching Simtube and meticulously rating movies on Letter Box and obsessing over your favorite celebrities. Now that you’re a young adult you’re free to do whatever you want! Time to move to Del Sol Valley!

Growing up with famous parents and being forced to go to red carpets, join the drama club, and having to deal with paparazzi has run you down and you just want to live life alone in peace. Sulani seems like the perfect place for rest and relaxation.

Live in Sulani

Attend all Sulani festivals (Don’t know when they happen? Try this mod!)

Have at least 5 friends

Get accepted into Britechester or Foxbury institute and live in the world

Have the academic aspiration and complete it

Max the research and debate skill or the robotics skill

Join an afterschool activity or an organization (secret society counts for an organization)

Generation 10 (Eco Lifestyle)

Your parents' love of knowledge has worn off on you, but for the worse. You are riddled with the knowledge of capitalism and its destruction of the planet. Evergreen Harbor has been on the news, specifically because of the pollution. Finally, you have had enough of just sitting around. You want to make a change!

Live in Evergreen Harbor

Make sure every neighborhood in Evergreen Harbor has a green eco footprint

Have the freegan, green fiend, maker, or recycle disciple trait

Generation 11 (Snowy Escape)

Since your parent was obsessed with nature and eco footprints, you spent a lot of time outside. This aided in your need for excitement and thrill. You were always at the playground and hanging out at the quarry. Now, you want to take your need for thrill to the next level in Mt. Komorebi!

Live in Mt. Komorebi

Visit all festivals

Have the adventurous or proper trait

Max the rock climbing, skiing, or snowboarding skill

Generation 12 (Cottage Living)

Mt. Komorebi is where your heart lies but you wish you lived more in the country. You have always loved animals but you can’t really own a cow when you live in the middle of town! You made a penpal in Henford-on-Bagley and they have convinced you to move there.

Generation 13 (High School Years)

Your parents decided that the education you were receiving out in the country wasn’t good enough! They moved you all to Copperdale so you could have the true high school experience. Yay, I guess?

Live in Copperdale

Have a freelancer job

Get married

Have 3 kids

Generation 15 (Horse Ranch)

Your parents let you have your own personalities and lives as you grew and you turned out to be a horse girl/boy! Congrats! San Sequoia lacked horses and equestrian activities.

You crave the sense of a close knit family and friendship. You went on a trip in high school to Tomarang and loved every moment of it. Ever since you got back from that trip, you have thought about Tomarang. Now that you’re a young adult and can make your own choices you have decided to leave your parent to Chestnut Ridge in search of your own belonging in Tomarang.

thinking about what makes paris/lane/rory/jess as a quartet so satisfying and it’s that common thread between them and their relationships with their parents. they’re all dealing with the same struggle at their core; the fact that they feel unwanted and like they have to make up for their existence.

paris who uses her academic performance as a way to feel validation because she knows she’s difficult and uptight and that it makes her unlikeable. in all likelihood, she probably blames herself for her parents divorcing (most kids do). she can’t make up for it by changing her personality, so she compensates with academic success. for instance, after her debate with rory at chilton, her idea of ‘celebrating’ is by going over their transcript again. because how else is she supposed to spend time with rory without an excuse like studying?

and much like paris, jess gets handed off by his mother to someone who’s practically a stranger. paris probably had her nanny from a young age, especially if she learned to speak portuguese and spanish so fluently. but to jess, luke is his uncle by blood and nothing else. and it’s not like blood ties have guaranteed any care about his welfare in the past. and his perception of love is so tilted where luke pushing him into a lake is considered a fond memory. just to think about what message that sends to him; that i’m angry at you but i still want you around.

and i imagine lane feels the burden of conditional love just like jess does; she will be loved and taken care of as long as she is the perfect daughter, as long as she is christian, as long as she fulfills her mother’s criteria. jess will be sheltered and cared for as long as he graduates high school, and how many more conditions will luke have if he had graduated anyway? and so they both hide parts of themselves away; his need for financial independence and her love of music. lane’s entire identity gets erased because of her mother, and then zach, and then her kids. she’s so busy trying to balance her own identity against the want of her mother that she never commits to either and then loses everything.

and then rory, oh my beloved rory. rory who has spent her entire life to get to harvard. rory who can’t say no to anyone or anything. rory who spends her life trying to make up for the fact that she was a mistake. trying to be the perfect daughter, the perfect granddaughter, the perfect student, the perfect girlfriend. to live a life that cannot be reproached. so scared of changing her mind to go to yale, to go against everyone’s expectations. to be the opposite of contrarian. to never be accorded the responsibility of her actions. to never be seen as anything other than what people want her to be. and through that lens, the person she is gets completely neglected.

and so it’s such a shame we don’t get more scenes of the four of them together, giving each other that unconditional love they crave. paris and rory and lane and jess are all tied by the same thread, of needing to be free of those conditions and expectations.

#gg meta #gilmore girls #lane kim #rory gilmore #paris geller #jess mariano #welcome to queue york it’s been waiting for you

Children in the Siji Empire

(in response to an ask!)

Children can be adopted, produced biologically, or created magically in the Siji Empire. How your MC and RO would want to go about this is up to your discretion. Surrogacy also exists, although it's less popular than magically creating children, which completely nixes the need for a womb/incubator.

In fact, many noble women prefer to magically create children with their husbands/partners than carrying them to not lose their figure or beauty. Magically creating children is not allowed for royal families, if both parties are able to produce a biological child and carry it. Otherwise, it's free rein.

This rule is why Consort Dou is unable to have another child via magical means. Since there's already proof that she's able to produce and have a biological child successfully, she is unable to use magic to produce a child with the King. If she were unable to at the beginning, then magic would have been allowed in that case.

Anyway, moving onto adoption, royal families aren't keen on adoption, especially if the child isn't an orphan. They don't want to risk giving the adopted child a title and their living parent then demanding a title/land/etc since their biological kid is a prince/princess. This also extends into marrying someone who has children already with a previous partner they divorced, but that partner is still alive. They (being royal families and courts) don't want to risk that child, somehow, becoming king/queen and naming that non-royal parent as Dowager.

Things are much less intense if the adopted child is an orphan. The only criteria is that they (the child) must not have any immediate or extended by 1 generation (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc) family left living. If that child passes that qualification (which most orphans do), then they're allowed to be adopted into the royal family, officially. As in, given proper titles and a rank befitting of their age.

As for being accepted into the family, assuming the child is an orphan that met the qualification, they're treated just the same as any biological prince or princess would be treated. They'll receive proper education and protection. They're allowed to inherit land BUT are generally not allowed to inherit thrones.

The thrones of the kingdoms were forged by the mythical creatures of each kingdom themselves way back when they were creating the continent of Nian. As such, they've bestowed magical protections onto the thrones that will harm a person who does not possess their (respective) Blessing, which is passed down biologically. As such, an adopted child would not be able to be king or queen unless they somehow possessed the Blessing.

Blessings tend to die out in bloodlines by the 3rd generation away from the sitting ruling family. So, any of children of the cousins of MC's father will have, most likely, lost the Blessing of the Vermillion Bird and making them unable to sit on the throne. It hasn't been tested to see if Blessings last past 3 generations, since no one is willing to risk their health and safety to test it.

So, yes, MC can make their adopted child their successor since their child would only be inheriting land and not the throne. The Nan family, itself, will happily treat the child like any other grandchildren. Consort Huo would be simply ecstatic and Dowager Queen Nan Niexing, if she is still alive by this time, will be overjoyed at having a great-grandchild. No one in the family would care that your child wasn't biologically related. Yes, including Consort Xing.

Hey Alecto, I was wondering if you had any fic recs for me! I saw some puppyshipping art before where Seto was an emotional wreck/breaking down and it has me in a chokehold. Do you know any good fics that have something like this? 👀👀

Hi, sorry this took a bit! I had to scour my memory and AO3 bookmarks and tags for a while. But I've returned with a handful of fic recs that fit your request here! These are all puppyshipping fics since that is 99% of what I read, hahah.

(And I'm guessing the fanart you saw was @ladydraculena's recent art. Either way, y'all should check it out because it's gorgeous!)

So here is a list of fics featuring Seto breaking down in tears as an, at least somewhat, significant part of the plot. Mind the warnings on some of these.

---

Love Dares Greatly by Lafeae [Rated T, post-canon]

A hit and run leaves Jounouchi comatose, with the fear that he may not regain consciousness. Kaiba, at the same time, is in the middle of developing a new game device that allows for interfacing between players when they are asleep. The suggestion is made that he could use it to pull Jounouchi out. But for two years, Kaiba has managed to keep everyone from saying a word to him about Jounouchi Katsuya. Two years since he has argued with Mokuba, forbidding even his little brother the utterance of the name in his presence. Two years since he has moved on from a messy and public break-up. Will this new circumstance pull them back together?

I cannot recommend this enough. I cannot recommend any of @lafeae's fics enough! This one is epic-length, 100k+ words, so the breakdown moments are sprinkled throughout the fic, but believe me, it's worth every moment of your time.

---

Preferable Reality by Lafeae and MistressArafax [Rated T, post-canon, *major character death* and suicidal ideation]

Life is fragile. Delicate. The daily routine can change in an instant, shaking the foundations of the world, leaving those left behind fragmented and broken. When tragedy strikes, how can Kaiba cope? How can he move on? How can he possibly mend his shattered reality?

A somewhat ensemble fic, but Kaiba's grief over Joey's death is a major part of the narrative.

---

Their Hearts Were Soldiers Who Never Found Their Way Home by Five_seas [Rated M, post-canon, *character death but it's not Kaiba or Jounouchi*]

Defying death shouldn't be easier than living as your true self. And yet, somehow, it is.

Kaiba grieves the sudden death of an old friend, and Jounouchi is there at the right place and time to help him through it.

---

Limits Approaching by BDEblueyeswhitedragon (BDEblueyes) [Rated T, post-canon]

It took years to get them together. Only months to break them apart. Can one night solve all their problems?

Kaiba and Jounouchi's marriage is going through a rough patch. Just as Jounouchi has finally gathered the courage to propose divorce, he sees something that might change his mind.

---

Roses & Starlight by BDEblueyeswhitedragon (BDEblueyes) [Rated T, post-canon]

It's Mokuba and Shizuka's wedding reception. Kaiba needs a moment to himself. Jou follows.

Short and sweet. Kaiba breaks down a little after Mokuba and Shizuka's wedding.

---

This list is by no means complete. If anyone knows of any other fics that fit this criteria, please send them to the OP!

Faith is forced to drop her knife, then knees him in the crotch, and Caleb lets her go.) (Faith backhands Caleb across the face, then speaks through gritted teeth.)

a big part of why i think psychiatry is a bit shit is the fact that therapists will run through a list of things that are supposed to help, regardless of your input. this is because therapists have this mindset that they (as the professional) know everything about mental illness, and the diagnostic criteria is a specific set of life experiences without any leeway for the fact the human experience is inherently varied. aside from pre-existing family conditions (because that's been confirmed by another health professional, not the patient themself) therapists won't consider anything but their own opinion when dealing with you.

with more information about mental illness becoming publicly available (thank you internet) people are more capable and able to figure out what exactly is wrong with them. the problem arises when medical professionals are presented with a patient who goes "i think i have X disorder and i want to do Y about it" and go "no you don't, because i personally don't think so."

a lot of anti self diagnosis arguments relies on the idea that the people diagnosing themselves don't really have X mental illness, that they are either doing it for attention, are taking resources from diagnosed mentally ill people, and should leave the thinking to the real professionals. regardless of their intention, they treat the mentally ill as a group completely divorced from 'normal people', a complete other that has to be legally verified.

people are getting more and more accustomed to living in their mental illness (and subsequently this causes their mental health to rot) because treating symptoms that you're not officially diagnosed for is seen as attention seeking. i really think they need to realize that regardless or not if a person fits all the criteria, if the symptoms are displayed and can be fixed, they should be. because there is genuinely no benefit to withholding coping mechanisms (bc most of the time that's what the 'resources' the self diagnosers are stealing are, most psychiatrists will go through everything before medication) (but the stigma around medicine is a whole other thing).

people being educated about how their own mind works is a good thing, actually. we should absolutely not 'leave that to the professionals', because even if it turns out you don't fit the criteria, you'll know have a better understanding of yourself

Six Sentence Sunday!

I’m back for six sentence Sunday with a continuation of last Wednesday’s post (which I accidentally posted on Tuesday, whoops!)

For those who didn’t see last weeks post, this is an Enchanted Au for Snowbaz.

Simon Snow is a hero of the land of magic. Known for slaying dragons, Simon is finally ready to find true love. He thinks he’s found that in Princess Agatha. A beautiful maiden who seemingly fits all the criteria of Penny’s spell designed to find his true love. But when she disappears down a well into another realm hours before their wedding, Simon goes after her, intent on rescuing her and securing his happily ever after.

Baz is a lawyer new to New York, having moved recently from London to escape his family and the loveless marriage forced upon him. He just wants to complete his divorce and win the custody battle to keep his daughter, Tasha. He lost hope for finding love years ago. But his world gets rocked when he meets a very handsome, and very insane man with dragon wings threatening him with a sword.

The story currently in it’s rough draft stage, but is coming along nicely.

“True love! I’m tired of the dragons and the beast slaying. I want my soulmate, the other half of my soul, my heart! I want that special, once-in-a-lifetime kind of love. The beautiful Maiden who is destined to complete my heart’s duet. You can’t get love like that from any old girl from the village!” I wrap an arm around her shoulder, “and when we meet, I’ll just know! You know! And we’ll come together to share true love’s kiss.”

Thank you for reading and I hope you stick around for more updates.

Special thanks to @martsonmars for the tag.

And for the rest a ya (I forgot to double check my tags, so apologies who didn’t get properly tagged. I made sure to check everyone this week.)

@martsonmars @bucketfishy @captain-aralias @carryonvisinata @aristocratic-otter @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @raenestee @bookish-bogwitch @facewithoutheart @johnwgrey @cutestkilla @carryonsimoncarryonbaz @confused-bi-queer @larkral

Under the cut I’ll have a little bonus content for anyone interested

A preview of Baz’s daughter, Tasha. She’s a quirky child, she loves birds, hates ketchup, and she loves her dad.

Next we have a meme. I thought this was a fun and non-spoilery out of context joke about my own plot points.

#30 Funny Girl (1968)

Funny Girl: How Feminism Killed My Marriage!

It was only coincidence I decided to watch Funny Girl after completing my review of A Star is Born, as it hits several of the same plot points. I honestly thought the only reason they were strikingly similar to me was because I viewed them back-to-back, but then two videos I watched about the Broadway production noted this as well, so I didn't feel entirely unjustified. Man with lots of money discovers woman before she becomes a star. They start a obviously doomed relationship and get married right as the wife's career starts to take off. The husband struggles with his own vices to the detriment of his wife's career, and ultimately their relationship ends because the husband is too proud and can't handle the fact their spouse makes more money than them. The end.

Although I don't think the plot is necessarily the reason to watch this movie (the reason is to watch Barbra Streisand be the most Barbra Streisand she can be), it is a fictionalized retelling of the rise of real-life burlesque star Fanny Brice and her relationship with her first husband Nick Arnstein. From all accounts this leans pretty heavy on the fictionalized, as Nicky was married when he and Fanny began their affair, it took him 6 years to get divorced from his previous wife to marry Fanny, and Fanny eventually divorced him because she was sick of him fucking around on her. Even though her love life was tumultuous, Fanny's career is what made her special, which is why it's a bit annoying that in the majority of this movie it takes a backseat to her fascination with a useless pretty boy. Although real-life Fanny's character was a Jewish characture, she helped in revising the criteria of what kinds of women could be famous performers. Beyond a good body and a pretty face, personality and talent were enough to gain notoriety. Although let's be real, it's not like Fanny was hideous or anything.

Barbra originated this role on Broadway, and it was tailor made to her talents. Check out the videos linked from Staged Right for a great summary of how the show was created, how Barbra was cast against the wishes of Fanny's non-fictional daughter, and what a seemingly contentious run the Broadway musical had. When Columbia bought the rights to the show, it was with the understanding Barbra would reprise the role on film. And oh boy, guys, this is probably one of the best love letters to a leading actress I've ever seen committed to celluloid.

Picture it: New York, 1920s. Fanny Brice, with her name in lights on the Ziegfeld Follies marquis, soberly enters backstage and greets herself in a sound clip I used as a log-in alert on AIM for like 6 years. Giving off "I'm going to retire" energy, Fanny wanders the stage and loiters in the empty theater until her assistant Emma finds her and cryptically asks "This is the day, isn't it?". Fanny confirms, and free of context I have no idea if this woman is making a comeback, or leaving showbusiness, or running away to join the circus. When Emma mentions that Ziegfeld is waiting for her, Fanny disassociates and we're treated to a flashback a few years earlier...

Picture it: New York, 1910s. A young Fanny Brice's neighbors are reading her for filth on her appearance and mocking her for having dreams of singing stardom.

youtube

I think this is the only ensemble number that doesn't take place on stage. Any solo or duet numbers with any character that aren't Fanny, like Eddie, Mrs. Brice, and Nick, have been cut so Barbra is on screen almost 100% of the time. I was genuinely shocked later on when Omar Sharif started singing because I forgot this was something someone other than Barbra was allowed to do.

Fanny heads to her new gig as a beautiful Arabian lady and is immediately fired for not knowing the routine and hamming it up the entire fucking time. The theater owner Mr. Keeney scolds the director Eddie Ryan for even casting such a goof while Fanny refuses to be dismissed and sings and dances her way around until they're forced to physically escort her out of the theater.

youtube

Mid-rant, and after accosting a few children, she breaks back in only to find everyone gone except Eddie, who after hearing her pipes asks why she even considered auditioning for a chorus girl when clearly she's a belter. I giggled uncontrollably when Fanny answered, "If you were looking for a juggler, I'd have been a juggler", cause girl, same. When I was a kid I legitimately auditioned for a part in Harlequin that required juggling skills full-well knowing I couldn't, and when asked to prove I could after the singing portion was acceptable, the ensuing display of athletic prowess cemented the fact I would absolutely not be chosen.

I tried googling this musical and I can't find evidence it ever existed. Maybe it was some public school choir teacher's passion project they only got to see kids perform once a year after a 3 week summer camp? Or maybe I had a fever dream when I was 10 and hallucinated being in it? IDK, help me out here.

Eddie decides to give Fanny a second chance at the chorus after she assures him she can roller skate, even though it was a bold-faced lie. After falling on her ass 20 times, which froths the audience into a frenzy, Eddie allows Fanny to sing a solo. Her unique blend of comedy, talent, and the sudden ability to skate once she's getting sole attention from everyone, wins over Mr. Kenney and Fanny is tentatively offered a permanent position.

youtube

"Honey hurry up, hurry up, hurry up..." is Barbra's signature slurry phrasing at its peak.

Fanny's shenanigans also catch the eye of a ridiculously attractive gambler Nicky Arnstein, who successfully hustles Mr. Kenney to hire Fanny for $50 a week, but is unsuccessful in asking Fanny out. She shrugs off his advances after surmising she is well out of his league, but oh my god, how the hell would anyone turn down Omar Sharif? I am not that strong willed.

According to Wikipedia, this is the fourth movie on this list that almost cast Frank Sinatra (previous ones including A Star is Born, The Music Man, and Easter Parade). For as much as y'all know I love Frankie, whoever suggested him over Omar should be well and truly slapped.

Several months later, there's a commotion on Henry street when the Brice's receive a telegram, and once the shock that someone hadn't died worn off, they're left in the wake of Ziegfeld's request for Fanny to come by his theater and audition. She reacts in a completely reasonable way.

Unsurprisingly, she aces the audition, and after fighting with Ziegfeld over how beautiful he thinks she is verses how she thinks she's not, she turns his new finale number from a bizarre ode to seasonal brides into a comedy act about a shotgun wedding in order to deflect anticipated criticism away from her face.

youtube

Peek a small cameo from Anne Francis, whose part was cut down so much she tried to get herself removed from the credits altogether. It's fine, instead she'll forever be known as the woman who pranked Dorothy Zbornak by pretending to die while beating her at tennis.

Fanny averts termination even though she deliberately ignored the directions of the director, again, because she's too much of a hit. She rides the high of bossing around Ziegfeld right into the arms of Nicky, who just so happens to be there on her opening night. This time she takes him back to her mother's saloon and he politely allows her friends and family to clean out his pockets at poker even though he's a bit of a professional gambler.

After charming the entire block, Nicky convinces Fanny to follow him to a second location out into the alley so they can be alone, and like, sure, this is a colossally bad idea, but how do you say no to that smile? After establishing both of them are single, Nicky adds more red flags to the parade of them by saying he's been with thousands of women because he likes to feel free and never has definite plans. Fanny reacts to this information by babbling incoherently about how some people kinda like being in relationships and Nicky kisses her to shut her up before riding off into the night.

I would die. Just drop dead right there, thank you and good night, it's been a good life.

Flash forward AN ENTIRE FUCKING YEAR and Fanny randomly runs into Nick again at a train station in Baltimore while the Follies are on their national tour. He invites her to dinner in a private dining room at their hotel, and while she momentarily pretends to be aloof, once inside she does exactly what I would do immediately if left alone in a room with Omar Sharif in 1967.

Fanny asks why Nicky never called on her a year and two weeks ago and he explicitly says he could smell the virgin all over her and didn't think she could hang. When asked what has changed now, he replies, "If you don't, it's time you learned."

So... they bone, and continue to bone the entire week the Follies are in town. Unfortunately after 7 days Nicky's racehorse turned into a pumpkin and he has to leave Fanny behind to board a boat to Europe to scam a bunch of bored dudes out of money since he doesn't have any anymore. Of course Nicky confesses to Fanny he's suddenly in love, so instead of going their separate ways after a brief sexcapade, Fanny abandons the show and makes a big romantic gesture by taking a tugboat to Nicky's waterborne casino to surprise him. Her coworkers try to convince Fanny this is a colossally bad idea and you could anger a million bulls with all the red flags Nicky's waving, but she simply. cannot say no. to that smile. I would make a joke that his dick must be legendary but she wouldn't know any better if it wasn't.

youtube

Oh look, another helicopter shot from the 1960s that's a million times better than the one in A Hard Day's Night.

Sidenote: Every time I hear "the sun's a ball of butter" I first cringe because I hate that line, and secondly think of this skit.

This was Barbra's first film role, by the way. Not that she wasn't well-known at this point - her voice was already acknowledged as one of the greats before she even turned 30. But she steals the camera in every freaking scene, especially this one when Fanny's clearly making the dumbest mistake ever. You root for Fanny; you want her to succeed in both life and love because Barbra is so charming. She won a Best Actress Oscar for this performance, and it's incredibly easy to see why.

To the surprise of everyone (even Fanny), Nick is ecstatic to see her - so ecstatic he only giggles when the porter calls him "Mr. Brice" instead of going on a several-day bender that ends with him crashing Fanny's Oscar acceptance speech. Of course Fanny plays the "please pick me, I'll never tie you down" card, only to THIRTY SECONDS LATER suggest to Nick that usually when two people love each other, they get married. Instead of jumping off of the boat and swimming toward the shore, Nick informs Fanny if he can win his huge payday, she'll get a husband. After much distress on Fanny's part, Nick later returns to the room with a big wad of cash, and they immediately return home to play house for a while.

youtube

Fanny went from on the road living like a mouse to being blissfully happy with a husband, a mansion, servants and a baby. But the other shoe finally starts to drop when Nicky's hot streak turns cold. While he's losing the house on oil fields that produce no oil, Fanny is headlining in a show, putting Nicky's ego in check. With a famous wife, his more-frequent losses are being broadcast around both his gambling community and society at large. When Fanny realizes Nick is drowning after he skips her show's opening night for a poker game, she sets up a scheme where his buddy Tom would approach Nick with a legit job offer running a local casino. After Tom informs Nick he wouldn't have to pony up start-up cash to make him a partner because his experience conning wealthy gentlemen was valuable enough, Nick smells the deception from a mile away and refuses the position because apparently it's incredibly embarrassing for your wife to network for you.

In an effort to get back on top, Nick decides to participate in an scammy bond scheme, gets caught, and pleads guilty to the crime so it doesn't look like he's stupid enough to agree to something without knowing how fucking illegal it is. Fanny goes to court to see Nick before they ship him off to prison for a few years, and when he tries to end the relationship by telling Fanny he will never be able to support her, Fanny asks him to reconsider. If Nick feels the same way when he gets out, she won't fight him on the divorce.

The absolute paranoia of a world where women could make more money than their husbands is fucking ridiculous to me. In both A Star is Born and Funny Girl, the moment the universe takes away the man's ability to monetarily provide for his family he suddenly feels as if he has nothing to contribute. His masculinity and his ego get in the way of being truly proud of his wife. The women are both willing to entirely give up their careers to take care of their deadbeat husbands (even asserting in public they should be referred to by their husband's last name), which is baffling on its own, but they've already made the irreversibly irredeemable crime of perusing success, even when their husbands initially encouraged it. All I learn from these stories is that men want strong women, strong enough where he can brag about them, but not strong enough to overshadow them. If that starts to happen, the wife needs to intuitively shrink in order to give their husband the chance to catch up.

One thing you can't fault Nicky for is hiding his true nature. He told Fanny exactly who he was when they first met. He never had a set schedule because he wanted to feel free. She was Woman and he was Man, and she should be smaller so he can be taller. He might have cosplayed as a dependable dude for a few years, but ultimately he reverted back to his default.

youtube

Flash forward to the beginning of the movie, where we finally discover that Nick had been released from prison and Fanny would find out the state of their relationship before she went on stage. She warns Ziegfeld that if Nick wants to give it another shot she's going to quit the show, because being a housewife will be the only thing to placate Nick's fragile masculinity. Thankfully she doesn't need to keep that promise, because when the pair are finally reunited she can tell by his behavior that this dude is about to drop the hammer. Fanny preemptively ends things, and then goes on stage to sing about her heartbreak.

youtube

The end of the movie differs from the musical in a pretty significant way as Fanny belts a lament for the end of her marriage. Barbra insisted singing the vocals at the end of the song live, and had Omar Sharif recite the line "You are beautiful" to her before each take to make her more emotional. It worked - I cry every time I watch the end of this movie.

"My Man" was a song the real-life Fanny Brice popularized in the Ziegfeld Follies Broadway show, which is the only reason it appears here, ending this depressing story on a weak downbeat that legitimately shocked me when the credits rolled. In the Funny Girl musical, Fanny goes through a variety of emotions that reprise the songs in the show - bitter and sad, but ultimately victorious with a powerful rendition of "Don't Rain on My Parade." I can only attribute this change as the beginning of the 1970s bummer parade of weird musicals that make you want to slit your wrists on the way out.

And if this wasn't enough, several years later they filmed a sequel to this, Funny Lady, about Fanny Brice's relationship with her second husband Billy Rose, who was just as shitty of a partner as Nick Arnstein was. Their marriage also ends in divorce, so if you want to watch the same movie as Funny Girl but with a clunkier script just to get 10 minutes of Omar Sharif reprising his role as Nicky being as sleezebaggy as ever, don't bother. It's not worth it.

Funny Girl is a show that will forever be associated with Barbra, to the point where its protagonist Fanny is more of a fictionalized character than a real-life previously-breathing human being. This movie is fairly entertaining, although it clearly reflects the ideals of its time. If you like Barbra, it's a must-see. If not, avoid it at all costs, cause there's nothing else here other than her.

Except a hunky Omar Sharif being stupidly charming. There is also that.

Joseph and Shadow for the unhinged character bingo :3

Hee hee finally got around to answering this :3

To start, Joseph:

I cannot put into words how much I have feelings for this man. Positive? Negative? Neutral? Yes

He's so, SO divorceable it's not even a want anymore it's a NEED. I'm signing our divorce papers before we even get married, Joseph Joestar divorce speedrun any% [WR]

There's so much wrong with him in the head. He's been through so much and he never got therapy for it and the aftereffects are never elaborated or explored and just. I am ripping him to pieces, disassembling him and using the pieces I like the most in my fics <3 If Araki didn't want to explore the sort of effects going through the events of part 2 on a person then I sure the fuck will, there's so many thoughts I have not posted about him yet, I have so many ideas and thoughts, but not a way to elaborate them and AUGHHHHHHH

SLAMMING HIM AGAINST THE WALL KILLING HIM BURNING HIM ALIVE TAKING HIM TO GET SANDWICHES EVEN THOUGH I DON'T LIKE BREAD ITS JUST FOR THE AESTHETIC OK WHAT THE FUCK AM I EVEN GOING ON ABOUT NOW LIKE BASICALLY I WANNA DO EVERYTHING WITH HIM OK

I could go on for much longer than this, but I'll save you the pain of reading an extremely long piece of text and just move onto Shadow.

I'm surprised you picked up on this, seeing the hedgehog mold in my brain has only recently taken effect, but yeah I'm insane over Shadow too

He just. He consistently hits every single box for things I like. He has that black/red/white colour scheme, one of my favourite colour schemes ever. Despite being the ultimate lifeform, he uses guns. He has a character design that's so gender. He's got trauma from a loved one being (essentially) brutally murdered in front of him. Also from what I've seen of him he seems pretty autistic so that's always a plus in my eyes.

Most importantly though, I fit all his criteria for marriage. I'd elaborate on that but really it all just boils down to me being autistic, so I'll skip through it all. I can get married to Shadow. And you know what comes after marriage?

✨️Divorce✨️

It is fully within my power to get divorced to Shadow the Fucking Hedgehog. Imagine that. My god. Do you know how well I sleep at night knowing that? Sure I have sleep problems so I barely sleep at all but the times I do sleep are even more blissful than before with this knowledge.

You know what? I should get divorced to him right this second. I WILL get divorced to him right now. Once I finally increase my divorce list enough to warrant making a carrd for it (well. I have to put my list somewhere for people to look at in awe, don't I?) he's gonna be right at the top, in all special font. He deserves it.

@kirstenonic05 tagged me in a post with the bingo and said I should do one for Cheval in the tags, so I'll slap that here too.

Can you believe his name means horse in French. Can you believe that. Wild. Instead of just. Changing his name outright he has a completely different name for the French translation, Ren. Crazy. He's my silly little horse man, commiting crimes since age 13 <3

Despite what most people think of him I think his character arc in Stories 1 was good. Cmon. If I was 12 and had my mother be crushed to death brutally in front of me, and had that trauma fester within me with no help at all, AND ended up having access to fire breathing monsters and weapons, I'm sure I'd go on a killing spree too. He genuinely thought he was doing the right thing and the only reason he acts that way to Lute is because he genuinely doesn't understand why he wouldn't take the "safe" way out by killing monsters the moment they were a threat to human life, but instead try to find an alternative solution to the problem where both survive. And then there was that whole emotional manipulation thing with Manelger and Itsy Bits and just...nobody gets him like I do.

Taking him to therapy, he really does need it after all that happened. Divorcing him too tbh

#i would go on a lil longer for each but i REALLY gotta sleep #ask game answers #jjba #joseph joestar #sonic the hedgehog #shadow the hedgehog #monster hunter #monster hunter stories cheval #cheval monster hunter stories #divorce

i feel like the dri & booze situation is one that’s relatively unusual and is going to require a more creative solution that hasn’t been fielded with her. so, not 12 step, which complicates things it’s really hard to get streamlined information on clinical treatment that doesn’t use this model, in part because 12 step is so hegemonic. she needs something more customized than that. what i want to do when she’s calmed down a bit is have a couple options that she wouldn’t have had presented to her *checks notes* 9 year tenure in and out of 12 step programs. i don’t know why anyone is shocked that this hasn’t been helpful.

i’ve known dri for years at this point and am way more familiar with how this works than i ever wanted to be. so i’m of two minds: my less than charitable opinion, which is my broad one, and the one that’s more tailored to this and more relevant.

the mean one is more fun to type: go to an article where a conservative writer is railing against grc, toss out the bit about kiddie tiddies and just grab the ones that are pretending to be objective, that allude to rates of regret that aren’t being reported, lack of supporting evidence, that this is being pushed as the only answer when therapy is more appropriate, that it’s ideologically driven, that it’s profiting off a vulnerable group of repeat customers. perennial classics, i’ve sure we’ve all seen them. now go in and play some mad libs, replace “woke gender experimental surgeries” or whatever dogwhistle the author shit out after they drank their coffee this morning with “12 step”. and congratulations, they’re correct statements now.

i’m oversimplifying a bit here, but there are some serious issues with the all of the data, that would be present in any group that only keeps estimates of its membership – how very convenient for them. so you get wildly variant estimates about the program’s success, with figures ranging from 5% to 91%. that should make any reasonable person suspicious of them. and then orgs like AA will self-publish 75% percent success rate – broken down that’s 50% for don’t relapse after attending, and another 25% who slip then recover – but say things in weasel words “for those who seriously work the program”, which the fine print will tell you is 20-40% of attendees at the meeting. AA groups are also autonomous. the norms in one church basement aren’t going to be the same ones down the road, so what are the criteria they’re holding these people to? there’s a lot of weird shit like this, like the very fun fact that AA is 45 years older than the first substance use disorder diagnosis. and all 12 step programs are the AA formula smacked out something else. it’s a rabbit hole.

what’s relevant here is that 12 step is designed for one specific expression of alcoholism, and adrienne isn’t a patient like that.

like, someone who just got divorced, kids taken from them and their house foreclosed on, someone who’s living in their car, the kind of people who don’t have anywhere else to turn to. this program is made for. it’s the people who can’t stop no matter what and who can’t moderate no matter what, who need complete abstinence. people’ve lost real things because of this.

dri has gotten... um. she’s gotten seriously physically injured multiple times, and she’s had some very alarming experiences with other symptoms after a binge, and i know she knows it’s not a good sign that she’s getting labs all the time. but in terms of things she won’t be able to realistically bounce back from? well, the second DUI did bleed her savings, but she also scraped together the funds for a very well connected lawyer who talked it down to a first offense. so. inpatient recovery stint in december argued as time served. 6 months of probation. complete IOP. 4 months total license suspension, 12 months ignition interlock when the restricted license comes back. $5k fine. judge saying “i just hope i never see you in here again”. a lot of situations like that, where they were nowhere near as bad as they could have realistically been. and the point is more common ground with the group. she isn’t going to engage with this. when she was still in IOP, sometimes she’d come home and comment “damn, some of these people actually ruined their lives”

so, people who the program is designed for don’t really have the privilege of nitpicking it because this is pretty much it for them, and what else are they realistically are going to do? but dri is going to immediately going to look at this and think “why do i have to go on a tour of shame if this is something out of my hands?” and tear into it further like “it doesn’t matter if you change ‘god’ to ‘higher power’ if you’re still talking about an external locus of control. just because it’s woke god now doesn’t mean this isn’t spiritual”. whenever there’s a “bitch ex-wife guy” (apparently every meeting has one) she’s not going to find this relatable because this dude is 2.5 decades older than her and custody battles are something she knows nothing about, and finds the chatter depressing at best, or at worst, sort of looks at some of the more extreme cases and quietly exonerates herself. even when people are in her age group, she doesn’t seem to like them very much. her AA sponsor in 2020 told her that “this year is bad because people were chanting ‘i can’t breathe’ in the streets, which is a black magic spell”. she stopped going after that. for every encounter she had with someone there she thought was interesting, there were 10 more events she took issue with. she just doesn’t like the premise. and i’m still going back and forth on whether the health stuff is abstract to her, or she doesn’t want to think about it, or if she’s just sort of giving up on it. but she’s still shut in our room and she’s been crying on and off for most of the day, so i know she feels awful about herself.

so, i’ve just been writing this out to sort of get my ideas down and spitball what isn’t working, just based on what she’s told me about. and i want to approach her with some language i know she’s probably going to be more responsive to, and i think what i’m sticking with is “you’ve caught a lot of breaks with this, but you only need to get really unlucky with it one time”.

because that’s sort of what my concern is. this is usually the cycle with her: she relapses, and something scares her out of drinking for a while. then some time goes on, and eventually the initial shock wears off. this can be anywhere between 2 weeks to around 6 months depending on how scared she is. then she starts getting stressed, she’ll want to drink and numb it. i can reliably talk her out of it if she expresses this to me, but i also can’t babysit her all the time. this will be persistent, sometimes it goes nowhere. sometimes she’ll pop in somewhere after her shift, and... she’s chugged 8 drinks in the past hour and she can barely form a sentence and is incredibly disoriented, which means she’s liable to fall over and hurt herself, and she’ll just walk around with a gash on her face that’s gushing blood and she doesn’t seem to notice it happened. or she’s put herself in a sketchy situation with people she 100% should not trust because they’re buying her more alcohol and she’s totally lost the thread of what’s going on. already, she’s fallen through a glass door and shattered it, she’s chipped a significant portion off two of her teeth, she faceplanted directly on her glasses and broke them and she still has a scar on her nose where the frame dug into her face, she’s had her drinks drugged, twice, and there’s this story she doesn’t take seriously at all where she describes what is almost certainly an attempted sexual assault, and she’s not reading it that way because she was too zonked out to realize that, no, that stranger carrying you into your apartment when you’re inebriated and getting weird with you is trying to take advantage of you. babe, this is really bad.

her falling into traffic, or tripping into the canal and drowning, or just passing out when it’s cold out and freezing, or anything like that is very low probability, but she only needs to get unlucky once. what’s more likely is that she gets seriously injured. she breaks her jaw, or her nose, or her arm. or she pokes one of her eyes out. or one of her drinks gets drugged again, but no one intervenes this time, and god knows what follows. like, i’m not pulling this out of my ass. she’s had close calls with all of these. and she only needs to get unlucky once.

the good news in all of this is that dri has trended upwards in the sobriety periods. she could barely go a few days without drinking in 2019 and be on a bender for a week or more. now, she might not have had 9 months of consecutive sobriety, but 21 days this year, only spanning 2-3 day intervals at a time, spread out – she’s doing better. but i get worried that she could backslide, and i think she needs something more tailored to her specifically so she can learn how to get out of that thinking cycle. because she needs to do this consistently so she can get the momentum she needs to put this behind her.

so, thinking about some things that she might find appealing or that will help her. RPT seems like a good place to start that she’d benefit from the most, so i need to find a cbt practitioner who has experience with this. i could see REBT working too. i know she probably should try to get back on antidepressants, but i know she doesn’t feel they do anything, so that’s irritating. although i could see her feeling more favorably towards ketamine, because it tends to work more immediately. insurance doesn’t cover that, but we might be able to figure something out. some clinics do payment plans that are a bit more doable for us. i’m not sure how she feels about vivitrol or acamprosate, but they’re on the table too. smart is probably a better fit for her than anything 12 step, if she hasn’t given up on groups, because it’s more based in cbt principles and would be a good compliment to whatever form of talk therapy she thinks makes the most sense. or even just little things in addition to this, like giving her a day planner where she can just keep track of what’s a sober day, what’s a day where she drank, what’s a day where she binged, and just make notes about things like cravings, stressors, etc. she tends to respond better to something tangible, and being able to have a written documentation of this can give her a better handle on her patterns. or encouraging her to get the gym membership she’s been mentioning periodically since she began living here.

she’s going to figure it out. i know she will. i know she’s going to have a breakthrough with this someday. i bookmarked some stuff related to these and i’ll show it to her in the morning.
