The problem with soulmate dreams was that they could be so damn vague. Reggie dreamed of stars. Stars, and sparkles, supernovas he could get lost in, warm sparkling glitter he could trail his fingers through, that tinkled like piano notes when he touched them. He always woke up feeling warm, and happy, and loved.
Well, at least it was better than Alex, who dreamed of crashes. No wonder the poor guy had anxiety.
Sometimes, Reggie wondered if his true love was an astronaut. But then, what astronaut would want a schmuck like him, walking dogs while trying to get their band off the ground. For a short while, he thought for sure the handsome baker at the coffee shop was his true love, his soulmate. Why else would he always put little star sprinkles on his donuts? Until he introduced Reggie to his wife, Estrella.
Reggie kind of gave up after that. He didn’t want to mess up again and lose something more important than a great coffee shop because he was too embarrassed to go back. What if his next not-soulmate worked at the music store and he got it in his head they were the one because they got a tattoo with a star, or something?
It was going to happen when it was going to happen, he thought. That’s how soulmates worked. No point worrying about it.
So he wasn’t looking anymore, that New Year’s Eve. They’d booked a killer gig in the Trevor Wilson’s mansion. Sadly, as Reggie discovered on Instagram, Trevor Wilson himself wasn’t going to be there, off at some Hollywood party, but his daughter’s band was doing a thing too and Alex loved them from the second Reggie showed him the videos.
So they played their gig, and Alex danced along to Dirty Candi, and apparently he was so enthusiastic they were invited to stay instead of having to scram before midnight. Hey, who were they to turn that down? So Alex got to dance and Luke got to gape at all the pretty guitars hung on the wall and Reggie got to... well, he wasn’t sure yet. He avoided the drinks stations with actual real life mixologists, though he did score some wicked awesome snacks. There didn’t seem to be a dog or a cat he could befriend (his go-to at parties), so he made his way outside. He bet the view of the fireworks would be killer out here. Rich people probably had all kinds of illegal stuff, and you could see pretty far along the coast from here.
Two girls were messing around with sparklers outside, trying to make a heart with them while the other took their picture. Then they swapped. Reggie tried not to be a creep, but he did crane his neck just a little to see how it had turned out on the girl with the braids’ phone.
Except she caught him, and pointed at him. He was about to stammer an apology, when she said: “Hey, pretty boy, can you take our picture?”
“Oh, uh, sure!” he said, fumbling as she shoved the phone at him. He waited until they both lit their sparklers again, and grinned when they each made half a heart. “That was awesome!” he called, showing them the picture. “You nailed it on the first try.”
The girls high-fived. The one with the curly hair bit her lip, smiling. “In that case, we have some sparklers left over. You want one?”
Alex would kill him for playing with fireworks. He wanted to say he was banned after The Firecracker Incident when they were fourteen, but it was just a sparkler, right? Besides, he wanted to look cool in front of these cute girls. “Sure!”
He took a sparkler, beaming when the girl lighted her own first, holding it out for Reggie to light his.
When their sparklers touched, Reggie... well, later he would say that he saw stars. All of a sudden he felt warm, and happy, and loved. All of a sudden, he understood all his soulmate dreams. All of a sudden, he didn’t just see stars, he felt them, inside of him, sparkling and shining and burning bright like a supernova.
He looked up at the girl in front of him, so beautiful in the fading glow of their sparklers. “It’s you,” he breathed.
“You’re... you’re my soulmate,” she whispered, before flinging herself at him, catching him in a hug. He hugged her back, laughing, spinning her around, feeling the stars bubbling up inside him, dancing around them, her giggle tinkling like piano notes.
Now that he understood his soulmate dreams, he wouldn’t have them any other way. Julie was his star, burning bright, guiding him home, making him feel warm, and happy, and loved. She was his soulmate.

Summary: “So, we’re both unattached. Good to know.”
“Right,” Nancy says. “And I’m planning to remain that way, even after…”
“No, yeah,” he says. “I got that, loud and clear. Happy to be of service for the night.”
She steps in close, hand landing on his hip. “You’re sweet.”
He nods. “I believe the words ‘boyish’ and ‘earnest’ got tossed around.”
“Okay,” she says, fisting the fabric of his shirt. “That’s enough talking now.”

as anyone who knows me will know, my house is a zoo i am a sucker for small rodents, especially guinea pigs and hamsters. last year for my 17th birthday i shared these deco guinea pigs, so this year today, for my 18th, have the natural progression of that post: a 4t2 conversion of @kaisosims' rodents pack! 20 new, modular, decorative fur-baby items & accessories for your sims to adore 🥰
everything that could have fitted slots has slots; the hamster shelf, notably, has a grand total of 15! all of the cages are stackable, i.e.: you can put the animals (which are purely deco) in them, then stack them on top of any other surface--the given ones, or a counter, study table, etc.! more info can be found under the cut 👇
this set was originally supposed to be my... wow... 1000 followers and 17th birthday gift. but back then my cc skills honestly kinda sucked and the slots + transparency drove me to insanity. over a year, 1500 more followers, and a mental crisis later, here we are, with the final product of over 30 hours of hard work! 👏 in any case, thank you all so much for 2500 followers!
tysm to @skittlesplays for suggesting this set in the first place btw, you know me so well anna!! if you'd like to see my other, mechtasims pet set, which i converted in her honour, check out my 1000 followers gift weekend starting here.

credits go to @kaisosims for the original ts4 meshes & textures, they are so adorable! and of course to all of you, for sticking with me through another birthday 💖
DESCRIPTION
Originally by Kaisosims for TS4. Converted to The Sims 2 by nonsensical-pixels.
THINGS TO NOTE
Pretty much everything that can have a slot, has a slot!
All cages can be placed on other surfaces, like tables, counters, etc.; if you want to place an animal inside of them, do that first, THEN place them on the surface.
Everything is decorative; nothing is functional… yet.
Art pieces are in the Paintings category, surfaces like the Cage Stand are in Surfaces -> Misc, and everything else is in General -> Pets.
You may note that some items have drastically different polycounts from the TS4 originals; this is because TS4 automates the appearance of backfaces, but TS2 doesn't recognise them, so I had to add my own.

List of birthdays of the different MCs of Hogwarts Legacy
🎉 Hi everyone! 🎂
Inspired by a similar post from @magomo, I thought it would be nice to compile all the birthdays of the MCs from the Hogwarts Legacy fandom.👉👈
This post could also be useful for planning an event, or something special to celebrate your favourite MCs on a significant date or simply to wish them a happy birthday!✨️
For this post to be consistent:
. Your character must be an MC in the game or an MC in one of your fanworks.
. Your character must fit into the timeline/canon of the game and not just live in the same era.
. Please provide the complete date of birth of the MC, their full name and surname, their house, either in a comment, reblog or message. 😊
. If for any reason you no longer want your MC to appear on this post, please let me know in the same way.
(Note: HAPPY UK BIRTHDAY @hotchfiles LOVE YOUUUUUUUU HERES A BDAY BLURB HEHE)

“Honey…”
A voice soft as butter melts over your ears. Being woken up is never nice, but sometimes that voice made it feel a little better. You stretch and grumble a bit, hiding your face in the pillows as he chuckles quietly, his fingers stroking your hair.
“Come on, I know it's early, but we have to get going…” He coos, gently pulling the covers down and rubbing your back in a way that made you almost go right back to sleep. But then it occurs to you that you don't have plans today.
“What..?” It comes out less than coherently, but he gets the message, immediately reassuring you.
“We're only going 3 hours away, Bethany Beach. I made sure I finished the chores after you fell asleep last night, so we'll get there at nine am, leave by four or five after dinner.”
He gives you a moment to process, still rubbing your back slowly.
“Oh, and I got us a hotel room just in case it gets too busy on the beach. The weather is pretty good, so it'll be warm and bright enough to read for a while.”
You take a few minutes to go over it. Normally being given plans this abruptly was torture, and of course you were a little nervous, but Aaron really had planned this to a T. He'd thought of everything, and it was honestly pretty endearing. Eventually, you finally open your eyes, seeing a small cooler and a beach bag next to a pile of your favourite books and some bathing suits.
“Hey,” He whispers, running his thumb over your cheek, there was this look he gave you sometimes that felt like watching him fall in love in real time. It felt like a hot bath after a long day, sinking into comfort and completely enveloped by it, stress felt like a distant pressure he could wipe away in an instant with a single smile. Then his soft voice makes your heart sing once again-
