#i have been enabled for too long

[skullfragments]

when you’re a group of two where one is captain of the basketball team and the other is the weird genius student but you’ve finally embraced your true love for singing (and each other) and audition in the call-backs for the school winter musical after winning the basketball championships and the science decathlon, respectively.

here’s a close up or two:

In case anyone who's still around has been wondering what I've been up to lately. well you see there's these cats,

[quilleth]

I've decided I need to incentivize finishing this damn fic and at the same time make it so I feel like I've earned getting new doll stuff (mostly because expenses for luxury items are still yikes for me) so I have money set aside that would essentially cover the cost of a bjd head, and I'm allowed to place a wtb or buy outright one to get for doll shang qinghua when I get this fic done.

Problems: this fic is fighting me SO MUCH! rude. Some other things have also happened wrt it so I'm overall not feeling it right now, which doesn't help with it fighting me or my motivation to finish it. But once it's done I can work on things I'm actually still kind of excited to work on which will be nice.

Specific doll problems: there are two options I've mostly settled on but each has their downsides. Right now I'm kind of deciding between shoushou gouhai, which I've seen a couple of second hand, or ringdoll ozhu, who I keep coming back to but is a) the wrong height b) not available to buy separately from the body through a dealer or direct and c) I haven't found second hand. So that means I can either buy the gouhai outright but it's not my top choice, or I place a wtb for ozhu and have a long wait time and potentially lose out on the option of using gouhai in the meantime. And I can't decide which problem feels worse ><

Third option is buying loongsoul bai jue since he is the right height and has a similar expression to gouhai and ozhu, but I've seen a couple people who own one say he's particularly small for an sd and I'm worried that he might look *too* small next to ying zhou. Which feels a little silly since like....duh moshang size difference is key xD (we won't get into the fact that I think the proportions of the 62cm ls body look a little weird because being super picky about that feels extra silly since he's going to have clothes on all the time anyway).

writer emo hours

I spent the last hour fucking DIGGING through old files to find the bio info stuff I wrote in college for an event, so I can weave something nice together for these query letter edits, and luckily past me kept everything I was looking for!!!!!!

But I had to go through a bunch of other stuff first, and it's so depressingly good. My CNF voice is so confident, my pitch voice is so sassy and quick and bursting with personality, I don't even recognize the poetry in some of these portfolios the wording is beautiful and creative and deep.

And I

don't do that anymore

[arolesbianism]

Once again thinking abt unit swap doomed toxic yuri besties lucked out so hard drifting apart like they did otherwise we'd be getting new darling by maretu in here

[occult-roommates]

On a similar note to the lookbook, I also gave every important-ish character a new outfit for season 3, and some a new haircut (such as Daniele, because his old one caused hats to glitch whenever I posed him for some reason).

"but i liked their old look"

(ok that is a joke realistically i dont think anyone cares that much how my sims are dressed lmao i just think this picture is funny as fuck and wanted an excuse to use it)

also Audrey is now entering a very bold era of her life: wearing colors other than pink. i mean her outfit is still mostly pink but she's wearing...a green shirt 😱

thank you, ily ♡ modern au, fem

The rugby uniform felt like a funny idea at the time, but now you're cold and wondering how James manages to stay warm when he plays. You must ask him. 

He sits on the couch with Remus and another friend, Frank. You like Frank but he's not one of your boys, leaving you no options —you have to slide yourself between Remus and James, emphasis on have to. Remus touches your waist unthinkingly as you do, like he might catch you if you fell. 

James is ecstatic to see you as always. "Where have you been? I was about to send out the search party." 

He's been very, very pleased with you upon the reveal of your costume. Like, pleased enough to take a handful of your thigh and squeeze at the soft inner part greedily. You lean back into Remus, enjoying the feeling and wanting his comfort. He's used to it, and  he adapts by pressing his face indulgently to the side of your head. 

You giggle. This is usually a nice feeling, but drunk? You're euphoric. 

"You can't stray too far, lovely, I need my victim," Remus says. 

"Where have your fangs gone?" you ask, pointing at your neck. "I made the bite mark so perfect. Everyone will think I have rabies if you don't commit." 

James laughs like you're hilarious. Later, you'll find out that you didn't quite say every word that you thought you said, and that you'd been slurring your words into one another to create Frankenstein's sentences. 

"Everybody already thinks you have rabies," James says. He's wearing a chef's costume from a show he likes, a white shirt that's sleeves strain against his biceps and a blue apron. Sirius spent an hour drawing tattoos into his brown skin with a sharpie. "That's why we've decided to put you down." 

"I'll have one last night of passion with her first, if you don't mind," Sirius says, announcing his presence. 

You like the sound of that, lifting yourself away from the other two boys and their touches to take Sirius' fine hands. He's in a button up and tie, the sticker on his chest proudly proclaiming, Hello, my name is: Dave.

"You're here to kiss me, right?" you ask.

Sirius grins and presses a quick kiss to the corner of your mouth. "My little alcoholic, you smell like lambrini. What did we say about lambrini?" 

"Uh, that it makes me sloppy drunk." 

"Exactly!" He kisses your cheek, working an arm around your shoulder as though showing you off with pride to the other boys. "My darling, you're so smart." 

"Not that smart, she still drank the lambrini." 

"Remus, don't start," Sirius admonishes. "You just hate that she chooses me when she's drunk." 

"You're her enabler," James says, "of course she does. But before she was drunk she chose to dress as me for Halloween, so if anyone is the favourite–" 

"Oh, please don't start," Remus says. 

The boys start, arguing over who your favourite is. It's a silly pass time with no real merit but no malice, either, and you're just drunk enough to goad them on. "Maybe Remus should be my favourite. After all, he's my vampire. Our love is, like, eternal." 

The furrowed brow he gets whenever the other two boys debate slips. "It's so eternal," he says, nodding confidently. "Quite right, dove." 

"Eternal doesn't mean better." 

"Then what does it mean, Sirius?" 

You decide that James' lap looks comfortable and that you might be here for a long time, so you push his legs down flat and sit carefully (not very carefully in reality, but in your heart) on his thighs, socked feet pulled up onto the couch, sideways and skewiff in his company. 

"Well, obvious winner," James says, encompassing your back with a big arm, pulling you into him. Under his hand your shoulders feel like a more delicate system; you aren't necessarily small, but his touch feels so everywhere, a pervasive feeling of safety and comfort in the palm of his hand where it grasps you. 

"You have the more comfortable seat," Sirius says nonchalantly. "It means nothing." 

Remus pulls one of your socks up where it's slipping down your calf and Sirius interrupts the arguing to ask if you need a glass of water. You don't have favourites. They're each incredibly lovely in their own way.

Would you rather have a president that enables a genocide? Or would you rather have a president that vilifies immigrants, promotes facism, dismantles the rights of women and minorities, emboldens white nationalists, worsens the wage gap, defunds vital services, AND enables a genocide?

It's an unfair and unreasonable question to ask. I know. Unfortunately those are our choices for president. It sucks, but it's a 2 party system. And until any change is made where a 3rd party vote is no longer equivalent to not voting at all, it's better to just vote blue for the presidential election. Not because Democrats are the "lesser evil", but because NOT having a Republican president will prevent further suffering of Americans and will lessen the risks of minorities' rights being threatened and revoked.

The president chooses the members of the supreme court who hold lifelong positions and whose legal decisions have decades-long ramifications. Trump picked 3 of the 11 current members who currently hold a Republican majority. It was that supreme court that overturned Roe V Wade and that decision is harming thousands of people today in multiple states.

Biden already nominated one SCOTUS, and in his next term he could appoint 1-2 more Democratic members who would work to protect rather than erode American rights.

The Trump administration was lethal for thousands of Americans for a multitude of reasons, including his failure to properly respond to and then proceeded to politicize the COVID-19 pandemic.

As awful as it sounds, as hard as it is to believe in the moment, ESPECIALLY with the atrocities Biden is perpetuating in Palestine right now, don't believe for a moment that this genocide would be even slightly less cruel under Trump. The difference is Trump's cruelties would extend to Americans as well— especially immigrants.

The point I'm making is the only ethical choice for this election is to vote for Biden, but at the same time that vote is not the same as condoning his actions. Don't let voting be the end all for political action, and I hope you understand why this choice is necessary in an unfair voting system. Please participate in your local elections, Call your representatives. Continue demanding a permanent ceasefire and an end of Israel's occupation over Palestine. And please keep helping Palestinians.

I think it's quite wild to say people domestically haven't been dying under Biden. Hundreds of thousands disabled people have died during the Biden presidency due to covid. I myself only got covid because people around my family stopped masking. Even some of my family members stopped masking because of the CDC thing. There have been countless other things that I'm too tired to list as well that directly contributed to the death of people.

I'm sorry I don't know why you sent this I'm not going to change my mind. I'm not voting for the man that killed people I know and lied to our faces about it.
