PIRATE SAFELY!! But pirate ;)
Hello! I’ve gotten a flood of new followers thanks to an addition I made about NOT torrenting from the Pirate Bay, so I want to address it better.
If you’ve come to check my blog for more piracy resources, advice, guides, etc, then check out some of the links in this pinned!
First and Foremost, Do not do Anything without an adblocker. Ublock Origin is the best.
Resources/Wikis: 🌟Top recommendation is the Free Media Heck Yeah Wiki, frequently updated, maintained, and transparent, as well as has a welcoming community behind it if you have questions. The rest are for redundancy's sake and for anything not found in FMHY, though most Wikis on this topic tend to repeat the same info. 🌟
VPN Comparison Chart - General Rule of Thumb, DO NOT use any VPN recommended by Youtubers, influencers, or any other shill with a profit motive. Large marketing budget does not equal good privacy practices. Do your own research.
-Since both Mullvad VPN and IVPN are planned to now suspend port forwarding support, the next best choices for torrenting though a VPN seem to be AirVPN and ProtonVPN.
HOWEVER, AirVPN has no evidence of a no logging policy (aka there’s a chance they keep records of what you do on their service) and ProtonVPN has no method of anonymously signing up and use a subscription model instead of a preferable pay-as-you-go model. So take that as you will.
(NOTE: You do not need to pay for a VPN if you are only directly downloading from a server or streaming off of websites! But it’s probably a good idea for privacy reasons anyways.)
A very good Comprehensive Torrenting Guide! -eye strain warning
And another one!
-If you torrent you need a VPN depending on how strict your government is on copyright laws. This works on a case by case basis, so I recommend looking up your own country's laws on the matter. Generally speaking, use a VPN to torrent if your country falls under The 14 Eyes Surveillance Alliance. More info on what that is Here.
A Note about Antivirus: - If you're using trusted websites, and not clicking on any ad links/fake download ads (Should be blocked by ublock), then you don't necessarily need any antivirus. Common Sense and Windows Defender should be enough to get you by. If you would like to be certain on what you are downloading is legitimate, then run your file through a virus scanner like VirusTotal. Keep in mind that when scanning cracked software some scans may flag “false positives” as the injectors used to crack the software look like malware to these scanners. Once again, the best way to avoid malware is to use trusted sites listed here and use an adblocker at all times.
If you have any questions on anything posted, need help finding things, or just need some clarification on any terms used, shoot me an ask or message! I've got a few years experience with not paying for anything I want, and LOVE to help others with this kind of stuff. But if you don't trust me, since I am a random stranger on the internet, that's fine (I wont be offended promise)! Do your own research!
INFORMATION SHOULD BE FREE!

“The hellhounds originated from Gluttony and Beelzebub created them that’s why she looks like that. She’s suppose to be like the animal tamer of Lucifer’s circus.”
Okay but like Viv, none of that is made clear in your actual show. People had to actively ask if she was suppose to be the one and only Beelzebub and now your relying on Twitter fans to make theories on why your characters look certain ways or are allowed to do certain things, people who don’t follow you on social media aren’t gonna know shit about how this world works. I like subtle world building and hints, and I think the ideas of Beelzebub representing an animal tamer is fun (even if wrath makes more sense to me), but when the rules of how the hierarchy system and rings work is already so confusing and relies entirely on you looking it up online it just looks like you wanted to make another random furry design. Why are hellhounds represented by gluttony? We were never shown an instance of this before and the episode doesn’t even say that they’re in the gluttony ring at the start (which is just another Earth with a yellow sky this time how creative).
I’m not saying I want the show to spoon feed us everything, but just a little context and set up in the actual show instead of random things just happening all the time with no explanation would be nice? Like yeah it might get explained more later on in Hazbin, but why then did you make this entire spin-off show come out first taking place in these other locations and with these demon lords if you weren’t gonna set the ground rules of your universe for the audience? That’s exactly what’s causing people online to scramble to come up with explanations for you about why you have discrepancies like Tex and Beelzebub not being a big deal but Stolas and Blitz are, your relying entirely on diehard fans to wave away your shitty writing and world-building cause you never take even a single moment in your show to have a character say anything that would clew us in on how it all works. There’s too much exposition in writing, and then there’s never giving any so you just have to make guesses or listen in on streams to figure out what society your characters are even suppose to be navigating.
Also for the “A bee/fly would have been unoriginal and ugly, she doesn’t have to follow the Bible lore” people, have you considered the fact it’s just a messy design? Like I don’t even hate it on it’s own, she looks really pretty in the fanart I’ve been seeing. But putting aside the fact she’s just a wolf/fox girl, she has so many unnecessary markings, her actual hair combined with the honey hair looks so unnatural and awkward, the bug traits don’t stand out, her outfit is basically only a slight redesign of Loona’s and as people have pointed out makes no sense on her chest with the supposed undershirt. You just can’t tell what your suppose to be looking at when you first see her, it’s just noise, which is fine for an oc, but this is an actual animated show where your suppose to be communicating something. The problem isn’t she’s not fat, I’m glad they didn’t do that for her in a show with everyone else skinny it would’ve read bad, it’s that she only stands out because they slapped bright colors neon colors onto her, nothing about this design is clever. It’s just pretty aesthetics, no substance.
Tumblr media
Also I’m sorry, they could’ve made her entirely a bug and still have been hot, why are people assuming we are saying she should’ve been ugly when we say we wanted a more insect-like design? I’ve seen loads of gorgeous bug designs for Beelzebub, people aren’t disappointed cause she’s hot they’re disappointed cause it makes no sense.

Accidental rescue as Kalim got another assassination attempt and as Jamil about to defend a random bag full of heavy items/tool just hit the assassin that knock them out and a hand climbing up from the leaged of the building
As it just Crewel daughter saying profanity and asking the red queen of hearts of what rules she needs to follow to lecture that damn crow for better climbing gear if they want to finish cleaning and restoring the gargoyle that he commission her to do before flopping to their back to take a breather then pick up her things and leaves ( Kalim assume they are a beast woman seeing their tail moving in frustration, and it's very fluffy, while Jamil know they are half fae that able to change forms due to Carter showing him picture that he took of her whenever she visits and dragged to a unbirthday party )
Just something funny as a first interaction with them
Talk about massive brownie points with Jamil
Dude is just happy you did what you did and will begin the ‘I’m in your debt phase.’
That is until you lovingly turn him down or playfully invite to lunch as his repayment
“I-i really am grateful, (Y/n).”
“It's cool, I hardly even realized I did anything.”
He’s thwarted with attempts to serve you 
As you refuse him and instead try to cater to him
“Hey Jamil, I made some curry for lunch, want some?”
“I couldn’t possibly-”
“C’mon, really I don’t mind.” 
Kalim is probably entirely oblivious to your save but that doesn’t make him any less enamored with you 
“Hi there! Do you work here? I’ve never seen you before! I like your earrings.”
“Hehe thanks I’m (Y/n), and for the time being, yeah.”
“That’s awesome!” 
He thinks your so cool and pretty 
He’s a little slow to realize your Crewel’s daughter
But that doesn’t stop him from snatching you up to throw a party whenever your on campus
And for once Jamil’s fully on board

I was re-reading TLE1 and I remember this:
"“I know Walburga,” said Mrs. Potter darkly. “She was briefly engaged to a cousin of mine, as a matter of fact. I say briefly because he ran off and married a Muggle instead”
Sirius’s jaw dropped"
My jaw dropped too. I want to know more about this story. Did wally like this guy? Who was him? Where did he meet the muggle? How were wally and this guy together? Were they happy in some way? Were wally softer in her youth or this love delusion made her the well known psyco? Did this unrequited love for this man have something to do with the failed marriage with Orion (like robert baratheon always in love with Lyanna stark instead of his wife Cersei?) and with the betrayal with Druella? were orion and druella in love but then they had to marry other blacks? I want to know the background. I want to know the drama 🔥 and how did the blacks ended the scandal? Did Wally think about marrying Orion? Or her father? Did Alphard have a role in younger siblings' marriages to people they didn’t love? He could have done this, just to have fun
hehehe.
ok, I’ve joked in the past about how I basically have a TLE wiki from all the random notes and headcanons I’ve scribbled in my phone over the years but like………I kinda do.
For instance, I have a stupid amount of Black family backstory, some of which I’ll keep to myself because it’s probably going to end up in the story, and some of which is just superfluous info that no one really needs to know but exists anyway because my brain doesn’t shut up. Sometimes this backstory makes it into little lines like the one you referenced above. 🙃
Anyway, here’s (part) of my TLE wiki bio of Walburga because why the heck not 😂
(This was written a long time ago)
Walburga Black was born in 1925, the oldest child of Pollux and Irma Black. She had two brothers, Alphard and Cygnus, for whom she never much cared. This was partly based on resentment: the Blacks, being an ancient family, followed ancient rules of inheritance. Despite being the first born child, Walburga, a female, would inherit nothing. It’s hardly surprising, then, that she viewed Alphard as her usurper.
Alphard, for his part, did not play the role of heir particularly well. He was extravagant in his tastes, liked expensive horses, racing, gambling and men. It became apparent early in life that Alphard would not carry on the Black family name. This meant, of course, that young Cygnus had a fair amount of responsibility on his shoulders. Walburga, who thought he was weak-minded and soft, resented him this all the more.
Walburga left Hogwarts in 1932 and it was arranged that she would marry Robert Burke, a pureblood from a respectable family. He was nearly ten years her senior, but Walburga was deliriously and unusually happy with this arrangement. While it might be premature to say that she loved Robert, she was certainly infatuated with him, and boasted of her esteemed engagement. Alas, the feeling was not mutual. Robert, 28 and unhappy, ran off and eloped with a Muggleborn witch. Walburga was humiliated, shamed, and utterly furious. She never got over the slight, and in some ways, her exceptional fanaticism for blood purity could be traced back to this moment.
In 1949, Cygnus married Druella Rosier, who was 9 years his senior. It was an arranged marriage, naturally, but mutually beneficial. A few years later, in 1951, Druella gave birth to her first child, a girl named Bellatrix. In 1955, following the birth of Cygnus and Druella’s third daughter, Narcissa, Walburga consented to marry her cousin, Orion Black. Walburga was 30 years old — Orion was 26 — and she was beginning to feel anxious. There had been no other suitable marriage offers and Orion, though she had no passionate feeling towards him whatsoever, offered a great deal that was important. Primarily, she would keep her beloved name. The two married in 1956 and ultimately took over 12 Grimmauld Place, the home in which Orion had been raised — his parents having moved out to a house in Wiltshire, to give them the space. Orion and Walburga’s marriage was not a particularly happy one, though neither of them expected nor wished it to be. There was no affection between them, no warmth, no intimacy. All they really shared was a devotion to their name, the honor and privilege that being a Black bestowed upon them. It was a duty, their marriage, and both saw it as such. The duty, of course, was to produce heirs to the Black name.
By 1957, Walburga was pregnant with her first child. However, she would tragically miscarry. For someone whose own self-worth was so reliant on her ability to produce a male heir for the Black family, this was a nearly unsurvivable blow. But she carried on. It took two more years for her to have a successful pregnancy, but on November 3, 1959, Sirius Orion Black was born. Roughly a year and a half later, on June 19th, 1961, Walburga gave birth to a second son, Regulus Arcturus Black.
Walburga was delighted by her sons, not because she felt overwhelming affection for the two children, but rather because they secured her victory over her brothers. She was the sole keeper of the Black family name. Her children would be heir to the entire Black fortune.
etc etc etc
It goes on a while, but, spoilers :)

5. Cake Mania: Lights, Camera, Action (2011)
Tumblr media
*Previously on Cake Mania: Main St*
Tumblr media
It’s been a while! Throughout this entire cake mania saga I’ve applied, got accepted into, and started medical school. If I’m gonna be honest, this was not even the biggest contributor as to why the Lights, Camera, Action review took forever (I’ll get into another reason later). But I finally finished, and I’m ready to review! 
Tumblr media
🄿🄻🄾🅃: Pregnancy is the milestone in Jill’s life that is the center of this next Cake Mania game. A game that represents the entirety of her pregnancy would be pretty boring (I would still play it) and at this point they can honestly tack on literally any kind of plot to go along with Jill’s pregnancy. I mean, she’s been to the moon and in Antarctica in Cake Mania 2. She’s time traveled. There are no rules to contain Jill and her journeys. This time, we are going to be dealing with..
A movie being shot in Bakersfield. Directed by...Michele Be. It is going to be a Pride and Prejudice remake with martial arts starring Tiny as Mr Darcy. It will additionally feature: explosions, aliens, a yeti monster, angry dwarves, and ninjas. It’s very lol-so-random-xD, very in-tune with the time that the game was developed and released. Bakersfield is being overrun by all kinds of interesting characters associated with the shooting of the movie. Eventually, it turns out that Michele Be is an evil fraud of a director that treats has cast and crew like dogshit. Risha is the one who saves the day and directs the movie in her own way.
This game is also repeating the set-up that Cake Mania: Main St has, which is welcome by me. Risha has ditched her stepping stone plant nursery and is now running a business that is more in line with her passions--a boutique. Since Tiny is one of the leads of the movie, we aren’t following his sushi restaurant. Now, we get to go through Giorno’s Pizzeria.
Tumblr media
🅆🄷🄰🅃'🅂 🄽🄴🅆
No drink station: The drink station did not make a return this time around. I’m not sure why, I didn’t mind the addition of it and thought it was a nice break when things got crazy. This is just a guess on my part, but there is a new addition to the cake-making process that made its debut, and maybe they got rid of this to make room for that. 
Equipment breaking: Holy SHIT this is so annoying. The first time this happened was when I finally had enough money to upgrade my snail green oven to the slightly faster purple one. Literally the worst feeling on the planet……which is a welcome addition by me. This introduces conflict that breaks the monotony of the game once you become ultra mega gold standard equipment, where the angry and/or Blue Bubble customers become a minor nuisance instead of ruining the whole level. This also does not occur randomly, as it always occurs once you finish a certain level and the opening screen for the next level is Jack admitting to causing it. Speaking of Jack...
Fruit Station: Jill cannot run around like she usually does and now has let Jack take control of operations, which was a risky move, but what business runs without risks? So while Jack is wreaking havoc around the bakery, Jill is sitting in a corner running the fruit decoration station. This game is not going to let you get away with clicking one button to add fruit to the cake, no. Instead, to add fruit to the cake you have click on the cake in a set pattern. 
The equipment: There really isn’t much to say about them, just that I don’t know how I feel about the designs. They feel friendlier and more approachable, but they have less swag than the ones from Cake Mania 3 and Main St. 
Tumblr media
Here is the final set up for everything ^_^
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Risha’s Boutique has a similar “fruit station” where customers can request their clothes to be put in a box with a pretty bow
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Risha’s Boutique and Giorno’s Pizzeria have the same general format of the Burger Barn and Sushi Restaurant from the previous game. But let me tell y’all...I could do just about anything and beat a Cake Mania level with the superstar goal. I could move as slow as that damn green equipment and make a surplus of like $400. These two games? If I do not sit in the right position, move my arm 0.00005 m/s slower than what is ideal, and pause for 0.0007 seconds to look at the screen to figure out where to click next I am not even going to make the bare minimum goal to get to the next level. Every move has to be perfectly choreographed in order to beat the level. At least with Giorno’s Pizzeria the ingredients are splayed out so you can easily click on what you need. In Risha’s Boutique, the clothes the customers want will be the tiniest little “shirt” hidden between the jackets that are puffier than the average New Yorker’s and you will just have to angle your cursor just right to click on it. So you would think that Giorno’s Pizzeria was a breeze, huh? 
Right?
Well, wrong. 
Now...I pride myself on being a good Cake Mania player. I pride myself on being a tenacious one too. I am willing to play a level 60 times in a row to ensure that I do not leave the game without a 100% rate of achieving superstar goals. This time though.....I had to raise my white flag :( 
Tumblr media
Here is Level 18 of Giorno’s Pizzeria. Broke my streak and everything. This shit literally killed a large part of my soul. Had me tweaking and shaking and crying all at once. Once I hit $473 mark I just couldn’t do it anymore. I’m not sure how I pulled this off besides rapidly clicking on the TVs to keep all customers with a maximum number of hearts (thus, maximum number of tips) AND IT STILL WASN’T ENOUGH.
Level 18 is the reason why it took me so long to upload this review. This time last year, I was well on the way to finishing this game until I got to this level. I just couldn’t beat it, I would be like $20-30 off from the superstar goal most times, which is fairly significant in these two businesses, and when I was still $7 off after giving it my all I was seething.  I will not bullshit y’all, the sheer butthurt I felt at not being able to achieve the superstar goal made me take a long, loooooong hiatus from finishing it. And of course, life stuff. However, towards the end of this past semester I picked the game up again, and decided to clear all my progress and restart the entire game. I still didn’t get the superstar goal on day 18 of Giorno’s Pizzeria, but I was able to get it for the rest of the levels. I’m fine with this, I guess (no I’m not). 
But in all honesty, even with me being a dramatic sore loser (just guess my zodiac sign from this) one of the biggest factors I look for in these games is ways to keep it engaging and create some challenges. So I really cannot be that mad that Giorno’s Pizzeria made me work for that Superstar goal. With the cake-baking portion of the game, the monotony is inevitable even if it gets delayed with some new approaches to the recipe of the game. The kooky customers are annoying and do create troubles, but what will a Yeti that pisses everyone off really do when you have gold-standard equipment, high-speed TV, and unlimited distraction cookies? With Risha and Giorno’s games....YOU are the oven and the cake froster.  Each new upgrade you get is just keeping track of more and more possibilities that customers can throw at you. Especially Giorno’s! With Risha, only the most recent clothes collections get featured while old ones are thrown out. By the end of Giorno’s Pizzeria, you will have an entire produce aisle to keep track of, the customers will want every leafy green on their pizza, AND you will have to put that shit on them in order. Your cursor will be forced to move all around the screen. 
Another factor that had me seeing red during Giorno’s is that some of the dishes (like the pizza) would STILL have to bake after you compile all the ingredients 
Tumblr media
I know, strange thing to complain about, but hear me out. In all of these games, you want the customers to get their orders and gtfo as soon as possible so you can fit in the maximum # of customers and thus get the maximum number of funds.  It’s why strategically upgrading equipment is so important in the cake-baking parts of these games. When it comes to Giorno’s Pizzeria, it already feels like an eternity gathering all the ingredients for an order. Longer than clicking a few buttons to make a cake. But then, on top of that for a pizza or lasagna you have to wait additional time for it to bake, and then have to wait on the damn customer to do their stupid emote before leaving!! After all of this, what do you get for an order? $40, maximum
Tumblr media
Anyways, here are the low paying cheapskates themselves.

She is That Girl. Because she is That Girl, the moment she steps in and reveals her order, every other customer changes their order to match hers. The Regina George effect. There would be whole levels dedicated to her recurring appearance, and it was fun figuring out how long I should delay handing the menu to her. There is an art to it!

Favorite TV Show: The Orange channel. I couldn’t think of a witty name for it so I’m just referring it by the button color on the TV 
He comes in with a stank attitude, so we’re already off to a great start. It takes maybe a few seconds and then he starts swinging his axe around, which causes customers to leave. Ruining your business in the process. They should have AXED him from this game!

♥Cameraman♥
Favorite TV Show: ANTM
Before you hand him a menu, he’ll film the customers in line which will increase their hearts. I feel like something like that may produce the opposite effect, but I suppose I am living in a post-TikTok world where the sight of someone filming me without my permission would turn me into the above customer

Jack: The dumbfuck
He is typically an endearing Himbo, but in these games......🙄........so you already know that in Risha and Giorno’s games you need to be ON IT! Well, when he walks in, the momentum that I would build up throughout the level would be thrown off because now I would need to use my peripheral vision and WAIT on the proper item to show up in his bubble before I could hand it to him and clear out another space for a proper customer. What’s more infuriating is that in Giorno’s level he would only “order” a single ingredient so I had to expend energy looking out for him only to receive $17 in return. And YES, he appeared in Level 18. Ugh!!!

🄼🅈 🄾🄿🄸🄽🄸🄾🄽: I mean hey, what can I say? I can’t get too mad about them repeating a good recipe a second time in a row. I really enjoyed the Main St formatting, and think repeating it one more time to experiment with different kinds of secondary games is alongside adding more “Jill lore” is not a bad idea. Cake baking game is a classic and they basically maintained the formula that everyone knows and loves. The equipment breaking was a nice touch to create more “conflict.” Even if the secondary games (especially the damn pizzeria) made me cope and seethe, I didn’t hate them. In Main St, the Burger Barn and Sushi Restaurant were easy as shit and I beat them with very little struggle. These games, on the other hand, made me work a little bit more for the superstar goals. I don’t mind the more relaxed environment in some of  Main St’s secondary games, but as I expressed many times before, I appreciate a good challenge that keeps my on my toes (disregard the long stretch of temper tantrum I had about level 18 of the pizzeria). 
I give this game a ⓕⓡⓔⓢⓗ rating on the tomatometer! 
Tumblr media
Now onto the choice screenshots!
Tumblr media
When I saw this shit, I actually keeled over. Jack predicted family vlogging in 2011. 
Tumblr media
*sighs* 
Tumblr media
I love Risha talking about “high couture” and then the collection of clothes we are introduced to look like they are from JC Penny. 
Tumblr media
Look at all of them slayinggggggg. The artstyle here is so pretty I love it. 
I will not lie, there were way more screenshots I could have gotten. I couldn’t though, because for some reason this game only works in full-screen. I tried changing my desktop resolution and everything, and the game still wouldn’t budge and I had to play this game full-screen. Which meant. One screenshot per every time I had the chance to play. Let me tell you, each and every screenshot featured in this review I got was very, very strategic. I never put so much brain power in determining when I want to get a screenshot of the customers in my life. 
After everything, here is my trophy room. 
Tumblr media
Well, at least it doesn’t look like I’m missing a trophy from not being able to achieve superstar goals for all the levels in Giorno’s Pizzeria!

-RULES, REGULATIONS, & RANDOMNESS-
Tumblr media
Welcome to my blog! Peek under the cut for more information. Yes, it’s required reading.
RULES
This blog, while 18+ due to all themes associated with the Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss franchise, is completely NSFW-free. I am willing to write threads that mention NSFW topics in detail, but I will not roleplay the act itself.
I am not selective at all! My only rules about who I interact with are that they cannot be minors (less than 18 years old) and that they need to give me something to work with in threads. You can write as many paragraphs as you want, but if you don’t give me something substantial to keep writing with, I cannot continue writing with you.
I would prefer if personals did not interact unless they have a roleplay sideblog, state that clearly in their blog description/pinned post, and (if they have multiple sideblogs) specify which they are intending to roleplay with. Personals are completely free to follow, however!
My memes and open starters are open to everyone, even if we haven’t interacted yet or we already have a thread! I prefer to start threads with memes, though, so please specify if you would like me to write a drabble instead.
I am on mobile and therefore cannot trim posts. If this is a problem, then I apologize, but I cannot do anything to fix that fact unless my partner is not on mobile.
This is a sideblog! Follows and follow-backs will come from @kottonkandykiller. I do have multiple roleplay sideblogs, so feel free to choose which one you would like to interact with. All asks will be on anon and I will tag my sideblog in the ask.
I’m a busy person, but rest assured, I’ve seen your reply/ask. You can absolutely nag me for replies! Sometimes I forget, sometimes I don’t have the energy, but you aren’t being annoying if you send me a reminder. In fact, please do!
I am most active on Saturdays and in the evenings on weekdays. I’m on Pacific Standard Time, and typically sleep at 9 pm and wake up at 10 am (on weekends). I get home from work anytime from 4 to 6 pm on weekdays.
I currently tag whatever I think would be triggering as topic tw, but I can tag anything that anyone messages me to tag or have in their rules that they want tagged. I have no squicks/triggers myself, but I may add to this list later on.
The muse is not equal to the mod! In Nikki’s case, his moods tend to fluctuate with mine more than my other characters, and in Zephyr’s case, their gender is affected by whatever gender I most associate with at the moment, but nothing else.
These rules may be updated later on, but for now, this’ll be it.
MUSE BIO
NAME: Nikki “Neeks” Knockout
GENDER: male
PRONOUNS: he/they
SPECIES: imp/succubus hybrid
SEXUALITY: bisexual (male lean)
OCCUPATION: freelance stripper/mercenary for hire
RESIDENCE: Pentagram City
PERSONALITY: talkative, oblivious, caring, happy-go-lucky, & sensitive.
BACKSTORY: At 13 years old, a Hellhound murdered his parents in front of him. That same Hellhound blinded him in his right eye, broke his left horn off, and scarred him all over his body. He spent a year in the hospital, having his wounds treated, learning to see with only one eye, and adjusting to having only one horn. For 3 years after that, he bounced around from orphanage to orphanage before escaping a year before becoming an adult. He tattooed the left side of his face, replaced his left horn with a prosthetic, and dyed half of his hair black. He made a name for himself as a freelance pole dancer and taught himself to use several different weapons. After surviving for several years comfortably, his luck ran out during the Extermination of 2023. He was blinded in his other eye during the process of protecting another demon from an Exorcist, and while he did manage to kill the Exorcist, he is now homeless and struggling with his new predicament.

Multi-fandom OC. (Fandom based, but with original lore.)
1. Mun is severely over 21. Victoria, Australia (Australian EST). Not mutuals only, but semi-selective. 18+ only, please.
2. Rules are under the Readmore below. Last rules update 27th December 2023.
3. Muse Information on Carrd. For her main verse, please read at least the summary at the top. Several of her AU verses have different versions of the muse. Marvel, Dune and Tolkien verses are movie/TV based.
4. Policies on this blog. Not 'rules' but how I do things here.
5. Mains and Exclusives.
6. Please don’t reblog memes from me if you’re not going to send one. Reblog from the source instead. Memes - Ship Memes - NSFW Memes / NSFW HCs - Munday Memes - Open Starters
7. Muse Stats Hair: Brown Eyes: Blue-Grey Age: In AU verses, usually 30+ Place of Birth: In her main verse, Cornwall, England Gender: Female Sexuality: Heterosexual
8. Rules under the cut.
Basics Original character and writing are mine and not for reproduction. (2012-2024). Likewise original graphics on the blog (icons, promos, background images) are made by me and are not for general use.
I do not consent for any of my writing or graphics made by me to be used with, for or as part of any form of AI generation.
Things I don't do:
RP with anyone under the age of 18 years. Selective with under 21. No age mentioned, no follow.
RP with anyone who does not have a rules page somewhere.
RP with personal (non-RP) blogs. I'll check to see if you have RP sideblogs.
Instant smut (see below).
Infidelity/cheating plots.
Non-con, dub-con (including A/B/O) or sexual assault.
Animal abuse.
Thread with abusive/manipulative characters. I’ve had abusive relationships OOC, and I do not want to be dealing with them in my RP as well. Villains are on a case by case basis, but muses who are by their canon nature or intended to be played as abusive are not.
Very, very selective with;
Pregnancy threads. Thera is not going to be pregnant, and I'm selective on threads where the other muse is.
‘Unrequited crush’ threads need to be talked about first, and boundaries set.
‘Fight’ threads where it’s Thera against someone else’s muse. Her vs random NPCs is fine.
Child muses (under 13). NPCs are OK, but not children who are the main muse. Any threads with older teens will be strictly platonic.
Shipping / Smutting. No instant smut. I will write smut, but only in the context of an established ship. And on that note …
Shipping needs to be talked about first. Thera is multiship, male-attracted, and we enjoy shipping. It's entirely possible it's crossed my mind already when we start writing. But it’s still not going to be an automatic-everybody thing. There’s got to be some sort of IC build up and OOC talk as well, to see how the muses get along and that we're on the same page. If we haven't talked about it OOC, it's not happening.
No means no. On both sides. If I say no to something I expect you to listen. Conversely, if you say no I’m going to take that as final, so if you change your mind later you need to tell me.
Also please do not say yes when you mean no. Just rip off the bandaid, OK?
Interaction Please communicate, please reciprocate. As it says at the top this is a hobby, but it’s a hobby we should both enjoy and it’s not enjoyable when something’s all one-sided. Busy happens, favourites happen, but if I’m doing all the sending and messaging and you don’t do any, especially if you’re active with others, then no hard feelings but I’m going to move along.
Discord I'm not going to engage 1x1 on Discord with people I haven't spoken with either here or in a group server there. I have no problem RPing on Discord, but I'm not going over there with someone until I've talked to them a while first. I know many (most) are genuinely just trying to find partners to write with, but I've seen and met too many who are looking to 'get someone alone' for unpleasant reasons.
Reblogging Memes Please don’t reblog memes or starter lists from me without sending me one. You don't have to send me something, but if you don’t please reblog them from the source instead.
Post length I’m good with any, as long as we’re on the same page. But if I’m doing paras and getting one line back, it makes me wonder if you really want to be doing it at all. If you’re stuck, I’m totally open to waiting, plotting or re-writing.
Starter Calls (mine) Starters take me time, effort and ideas, but a lot of them go unanswered. So, I have a 3-strike rule. If I write you starters you request three times and you don’t reply or let me know there’s a problem, I won’t write any more for you.
Triggers and Tags NSFW or strong violence will be tagged (smut is tagged ‘BadThings’ and 'NaughtyList'), potential triggers as '[thing] tw'. If you need anything specific tagged, let me know (if you have a tag already blacklisted, tell me and I’ll use it).
Likewise, if there’s something you’re not comfortable RPing (or thought you were but then realise you’re not) please say so - I only ask that you do the same for me if needed.
God-Modding and Meta-gaming
God-Modding. I write my muse, you write yours, and if in doubt, ask. Please don’t decide for me what she does, thinks or feels (or did before the events of the thread), that your muse has done something major to her, or put her in a certain situation, without running it past me first. Also, ignoring what I’ve just written and continuing as if Thera never said or did something counts as god-modding, too.
Verses are separate unless it's been discussed OOC beforehand. Please don't shoehorn Thera into your own existing group verse without talking about it with me first.
Meta-gaming is giving your muse OOC knowledge IC. There are muses out there powerful enough that they could know things, but please talk to me about it first. Your muse suddenly knowing all about Thera for no IC reason and without asking me is not going to work out.
On those last two points, I also reserve the right to say no.
Vague/Guilt-Posting Trying to pressure or guilt me into RPing with you is going to have the opposite effect to what you want. Asking if I saw a post or reminding me once or twice is fine, talking to me directly about a problem, likewise. Messages specifically intended to make me feel bad for not replying/RPing with you are not.
Thanks for reading through!
Last rules update 27th December 2023.

Hello!
I’m reading the book “Quién de nosotros” by Mario Benedetti, and it includes the following sentence: Alicia otorga mansamente, cuidadosamente, la atención y las caricias que le exigimos.
I’m confused by the “mansamente, cuidadosamente” part because I was taught that when listing adverbs in a row, you should only add -mente at the very end of the list. E.g., alegre-, curiosa-, y torpemente la niña corrió hacia el hormiguero. (Not sure if hyphens would be used since it was a random comment from the professor and I’ve never actually seen this rule in written form.)
Can you please explain why both words are written with -mente here? When might it be appropriate to say “mansa y cuidadosamente” instead?
I've actually never heard of that rule. In my experience, you don't alter the adverbs even if it's a string of adverbs. However, it isn't really considered good form to string a bunch of -mente adverbs together because it feels awkward and almost childish at times, and there are many ways to rework your sentence structure
I'd be curious what the native speakers think because to me it feels like a stylistic choice and not a true grammar rule. Kind of like an informal "write like this, not like that" sort of rule. The hyphen thing I'm not at all familiar with personally. If I heard it out loud I would assume you were describing the girl "happy" and "curious" and then using an adverb "awkwardly"
I think in this particular case it's worth it, as the -mente adds almost as "slowing" effect as if you can feel her trying to be gentle in what she's doing. That's one of the pushbacks against -mente adverbs, is that they slow down a sentence when used too much too close together. It's like saying "really" or "very" every other line; not grammatically wrong, but frowned upon.
More information below:
While it's not a "rule" that I know of, I can understand that multiple adverbs ending in -mente might seem redundant, and that there are many adverbs that are made up of adjectives so it is possible to use the adjectival forms instead of the adverbial forms [manso/a instead of mansamente]
...But I can't say I actually know that rule. It was never taught to me.
What I do know is that there are some people [writers, intellectuals, grammarians] who see the overuse of adverbs with -mente to be a crutch, and they go out of their way to not use them in quick succession. Given that -mente adds at least two extra syllables, it can give sentences a clunky feeling and make it not so elegant. This is more of a style choice, as far as I understand it. I suspect that's where your teacher is getting that, but it's not an established rule
...I would caution you as far as mansa though. There are times when you can use adjectives as adverbs or adverb-adjacent. To the best of my knowledge though, those adjectives must still agree with the subject. So if it were a man it would be manso. In this context it does sort of make sense, and mansa as an adjective since it's Alicia.
To me it reads like "And Alicia grants, docile/tame [docily/tamely], cautiously..." as if you're describing Alicia [an adjective] but could also interpret it as describing the action [adverb]

Reviewing all the Scream Movies
I’ve written the review on the new Scream movie, the fifth one in the franchise, but for some reason never published it and had no energy to rewrite the parts I didn’t like. But! I decided to watch the entire franchise and review it all all. Heavy spoilers, of course.
Scream (1996) dir. by Wes Craven
10/10
Tumblr media
“Rule number one. Don’t fuck with the originals.”
Considering this entire franchise is a homage to the classics of horror, I really think Skeet Ulrich was casted because he looked like Johnny Depp in 1984′s Nightmare on Elm Street (confession, I’m not obsessed with that movie).
Rewatching it, I just realized that after the murder of Casey Becker and the Ghostface attacking Sydney Prescott, a high schooler runs through the hallway in a Ghostface mask. The two boys are then reprimanded in the principal’s office. The two boys had the same hair styles  to Billy and Stu who’ll be the killers. 
This movie is a classic and have made it up there with the films it pays homage to. Every time I watch it, there’s something new to peel back. While I always thought Billy killing Sydney’s mom and doing all of what he did over a divorce was bizarre, I then remember that they’re teenagers. Of course your parents divorcing sends you into a psychopathic, serial killing spree. Or whatever. I love Gail Weathers going to great lengths to get a story, only to be put in it, I love the call-outs of movie tropes, and I love Mathew Lillard. Sydney is relatable. While she criticizes how stupid girls are in horror, I always love the irony of her doing the exact same thing they do (like running towards the stairs instead of the door) - it shows that you really don’t know what you’d do until it’s you. The reveal is always iconic. Endlessly rewatch it. 
Scream (1997) dir. by Wes Craven
9/10
Tumblr media
The movie opens up with Jada Pinkett-Smith  and Omar Epps playing college seniors Maureen Evans and Phil Stevens. Maureen criticizes slasher films as being predominantly white with their black characters being killed off...and then she and Phil get killed shortly after. In fact, even Sydney’s black roommate gets murdered. Maybe she wasn’t the first to be killed off, but she was definitely murdered....which made the entire self-awareness monologue in the beginning not so self-aware. I always questioned the point of it.
I automantically felt the I Know What You Did Last Summer references, especially with casting Sarah Michelle Geller, and even the I Still Know What You Did Last Summer set-up. Scream 2 came out before I Still. Not sure when each movie were filmed as opposed to released, but I peeped it. I’m not the most knowledgable person on horror references but I picked up on a few. Casey Cooper’s death reminded me of The House on Sorority Row, Friday the 13th’s killkillkillkilldiediedie when Cooper talked to her friend, and the Psycho reference at the very beginning of of the movie. There are a lot more, especially when Randy and Mickey listed off movies, but those were the ones I caught. 
I picked up on Mickey being the killer right away, or at least were 70% sure of it. I assumed he was Billy’s brother since they looked so similar, but the random news reporter being Billy’s mom? Did not even think of that in a million years! I assumed it would be movie 3, so I wasn’t expecting her yet. I don’t really rewatch Scream 2 or even 3, so I only knew the killers of 1, 4, and of course 5. For a second, I thought the killer was Sydney’s boyfriend. The lingering camera angles and lighting made me go back and forth with if I thought he were the killer. One thing I love about these movies is that you’ll constantly ping-pong on if all the characters are guilty. Even when Randy so obviously calls out Mickey, that 30% pulsed.  Even when Mickey was revealed and shoot Sydney’s boyfriend, I thought, “Probably fake.” He’s gonna get up and be the second killer. But when the eager news reporter, Billy’s mom, holding a gun? Blew my mind.
It following the iconic first one as a sequel and holding up against it I thought they did well. Ms Maureen had the worst roster of men because Cotton is grimy from head to toe. Mr. Loomis having a son like Billy and a ex-wife like that alone makes me question him too. Even when Cotton killed Ms. Loomis it was only because Sydney promised him an interview. So grimy. I especially loved the mock-movie that reenacted the first movie. I don’t know why I don’t rewatch it enough.
Scream 3 (2000) dir. Wes Craven
6/10
Tumblr media
So whenever I remember the franchise, I always confuse whether or not 2 or 3 was the one the weak link of the three. After finishing this one....it’s so obvious which one it is. I talked so much shit about 2 assuming that it was the one I didn’t care for and now I wonder if whoever I told that thinks I have terrible taste. At least Cotton dies. Hi, Ms. Van Der Woodsen!
I fell asleep halfway through and had to restart it again. Other than the original cast, the new ones I wasn’t obsessed with. The setting didn’t do it enough for me either. It was like The Seed of Chucky but that released four years ago so I’m not sure if it’s derivative of it. The new setting was Hollywood on a set that’s built to resemble 261 Turner Lane and Sydney’s house.  Gale has these terrible bangs. Dewey finally has grown man weight. Sydney works at a call center under the name Lauren in a secluded house that would’ve been perfect for Ghostface to trip and stumble around trying to kill her in. Even the woods that moated the property would’ve been great to have the characters running into.  It would’ve given When A Stranger Calls vibe. Instead, it’s in some large mansion owned by John Milton which was a Wes Craven cameo.
This movie promises that a sequel in the franchise will make you question something from the original. What this movie gives us is more details to Maureen’s death and someone claiming to have killed her. Turns out, she was an actress in Hollywood that got assaulted by Milton While in Hollywood, she also had a child she abandoned and no longer claimed...even when when he showed up on her doorsteps. His father was Milton, so.
That child is Roman Bridger, the director of the movie they’re working on. He's angry that Sydney had a life with their mother when he didn’t. He convinced Billy to drag Stu into murdering Maureen, which isn’t hard since we know Billy’s family broke apart because of their dad’s affair.
 Record scratch for a second. Mrs. Loomis and Billy needed to focus their energy on their off-screen ex-husband and dad and leave Sydney alone. Maureen’s already dead, that’s spilled milk. But why is Sydney being lugged into this day in and day out and this mysterious Mr. Loomis is just somewhere in a one bedroom apartment glad he’s no longer paying alimony since Mrs. Loomis wants to redirect her anger to a college student. 
The end of Scream 3 was better than the beginning and made me forgive them for not using her house as the final scene. But everything else? I just wouldn’t rewatch it, or at least not as much as I would the others. It’s like a filler anime episode. I take nothing that happened in it seriously.
The jokes just fell flat. I honestly didn’t care who was running around killing people. Oh, and the black cameraman Tyson from the second movie finally dies. It was bound to happen.
I like that Sydney in the end no longer allows fear to rule her life. 
But as long as she’s alive someone will get inspired by the crime in some cryptic online chat and come after her. At this point, even I would feel honored to kill the Sydney Prescott because there’s only so many times you can evade death before I call up Jason. 
Scream 4 dir. Wes Craven (2011)
10/10
Tumblr media
“You just won’t die will you? Who are you, Michael fucking Meyers?”
I already know my rating of all five of the movies and Scream 4 is up there. One of my favorites. I mean, only one of all the movies sucks for me, but Scream 4 is the one I rewatch the most behind Scream 1. 
This movie gives me Sorority Row remake vibes. They’re vastly different but I think it might just be the filters being similar. Jill, Sydney’s cousin, is the Ghostface killer along with a film fan Charlie Walker.
I can see where she’s coming from. Not with the fame hungry, final girl obsession but because, from an outsider’s perspective, everything is about Sydney-fucking-Prescott. Even Jill’s mom, Maureen’s sister, mentions that she also lost a sister. The sorority girls from movie 2 is passive aggressively annoyed at the attention Sydney gets for being the survivor or a serial murder. Every killer has had some obsession with being the one to gut Sydney. She’s always in the center of it all. For people like Jill and Cotton, even Sydney’s publicist Rebecca, they will try to milk her of what they can. They act as if she purposely survives these murders to get media attention If anything, there was a time she wanted a secluded life before she embraced the attention she’ll get regardless. She goes into hiding, Ghostface brings her out. She becomes public, Ghostface still attacks. 
Kristen Bell’s character in the intro mentions that there’s something so good about just someone with a knife murdering. I think that’s what I love about the Scream franchise. While I love me a good demonic entity, I love realism too. In the second Scream movie when Ghostface is just running around, tripping over shit, getting knocked out, it was just so good Even in the sinful third movie when he’s running around the set clumsily, I enjoyed it. Movies like Texas Chainsaw or Jason, no matter how slowly they walked and how fast the victims ran Jason and Leatherface always caught up. It’s bordering on supernatural. I think this is why people flock to movies like The Strangers (2008). Humans are just as evil as any monster.
Everything pointed to Jill being the killer but Scream 4 did it in a way where you still question it. I never had the pleasure of not knowing Jill wasn’t the killer since my first watch of it I’d already been spoiled, but still a good movie. Jill’s face the entire movie is just so sly. You probably wouldn’t pick up on it your first time watching, but every line delivered was so...layered. She seemed amused by the whole thing, always holding back a laugh. Her reaction to her friends dying was so bad! The acting was terrible! Although Emma Roberts is not my favorite person, she’s a great actor so the bad acting is purposeful. Jill is what’s wrong with everyone trying to get big off of a tragedy. I’d rank her the second best Ghostface behind Stu and Billy. 
What I never understood with these murderers staging the scene is if they don’t think professional investigators can see something’s off with the placement of bodies, blood splatter, gun shots/knife wounds, all that. When you give them a play by play and it doesn’t match, what then? And these videos you plan on being found, how will you explain you getting stabbed, getting your hair ripped out, crashing into glass coffee tables not being on the videos? This is Gonjiam all over again; I’m over thinking it. But...be fucking for real, Jilly girl.
I’ll suspend belief, I guess. Iconic villain. Who knew a domestic abuser could perfectly play a believable murdering bitch. ❤️ 
Scream (2022) dir.  Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett
7/10
Tumblr media
I like it. I do, I swear. Just...
This is the only one not directed by Wes Craven since he, you know, died. This man is iconic, directing movies that pays homage to his own is crazy. Directing Vampire in Brooklyn? You’ll be missed, king. 
So will you, Dewey. 
Yeah, Dewey dies.
I’m a basic bitch when it comes to horror. I own The Witch, Get Out, and Gretel and Hansel so I can appreciate a “complex, emotional and thematically underpinned” “elevated horror” every once in a while, but I love a good “schlocky, cheeseball nonsense with wall-to-wall jump scares.” In fact, they’re my favorite. 
Yeah, Tara. 
There’s nothing wrong with watching a good senseless slasher with decent enough “underpinning.” BTW, it means a foundation of ideas, motives, or devices to justify the basis of something, or the foundations of a fucking building. Had to look that up. Fuck you, Tara. This is why you and Anna Paquin got stabbed up for being rude.
I do like Scream. There’s another coming out next year so I’m guessing the Carpenter sisters will be the new final girls. Sydney Prescott yet again survives. Love you girl, but it’s your time. Clearly Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrerra will continue on the legacy. They already have the questionable mom to start off. I loved seeing Skeet Ulrich reprising his role. I adore (practically obsessed with) Jenna Ortega. Ms. Barrerra is okay. I liked her in Keep Breathing (2022). I feel as if she’s up and coming too. She’s in Vida, which I haven’t watched, along with a few telenovelas, so she’s a seasoned actor. However, her acting in Scream was so stiff!
The new friend group, Tara’s friends, are all descendants of the originals of the Woodsboro murders, except Amber who lives in the old Macher house. Deputy Judy Hicks also dies too but I never liked her or her lemon squares, so whatever. Dewey advising that it’s always the boyfriend is hilarious because it turned out to be in this movie. Any mother fucker that looks like Curtis Lepore is questionable. Not sure if it’s based off of other horror movies, but it’s really only been the boyfriend twice, and that’s if you count that random film freak in Scream 4. 
How do you not look at Amber and not know she’s the killer? This is also another movie I got spoiled so I knew she was the killer from the get-go, but the boyfriend was an educated guess. I love how Mindy, Randy’s daughter and the show’s film nerd, theorized that Judy Hicks and her son Wes won’t be killed since Judy’s not in the original  only for Richie and Amber to promptly kill them. 
I don’t know...I didn’t like the ending. When the Richie tries to play with Sam’s mind on who the killer might be and suggested Tara, tell me why I fell in love with that idea. Imagine if they all were Ghostface? Sam being surrounded by the friend group who secretly hate her for abandoning Tara and wanting their fame for killing Loomis’s mysterious child. Tara could’ve stumbled on her mom’s old journal and fueled her hatred for her sister, planned it with her friends to lure her back, and now she’s dealing with countless ghost faces. Never been done before. Speaking of her mom, her existing with a demon child in her is so bizarre. It’s plausible. Still bizarre. 
“Something about this feels different,” Dewey had said. But it didn’t. It felt like when Sydney found out the had a random sibling. Why is everyone having secret children? Pretty Little Liars (the books) is the only one that did it right.
Plus Ms. Prescott has kids! Endless remakes that’ll last into my grandkid’s generation.
Furthermore...
I don’t have high hopes for this franchise. I don’t know....I don’t know why I don’t but I don’t. No amount of Jenna Ortega scenes is going to convince me. But who knows. 
                                                My Ranking:
Tumblr media
1. Scream (1996) is obviously first. It’s just so perfect and layered that I can’t think of putting anything else above it. I rewatch it so much, so much so that I have all the lines down. As Sydney loves to say, no one can mess with the original.
2. Scream 4 (2011) is second. My second most rewatched. Jill being the killer, the kills, even the surprise second killer was so good. It payed homage to the remakes of originals while Jill parallels trying to be the new final girl by taking out her cousin. Kirby Reed panicking as she lists off all the remakes give the same energy as April Kepner stammering out her life story to a gunman. 
3. Scream 2 (1997). I’m conflicted on if this deserves second spot or third, but then I remember the ending. Didn’t like it as much as 4. Mrs. Loomis took me by a surprise, but Jill still tops it. Ilove the setting being college and that mini sorority scene. That crashed police car scene where Sydney and Hallie have to crawl over an “unconscious” Ghostface alone was so good, especially when I was waiting for Hallie to get stabbed when it was her turn to go. Lastly, everyone was rocking bouncy, cute bobs.
4. Scream (2022). I didn’t like it that much, but I did like it enough for it to be fourth and Scream 3 to be last. It’s not a bad movie. I realize the way I’m writing about it makes it seem like I hate it, but I don’t. Just really wanted the entire group to be Ghostface. 
5. Scream 3 (2000). Beautiful, lovely, transcendent gowns. Those damn bangs, Ms Cox, obliterate them!

Build a City Challenge – Rules
I’m technically using a combination of different rules that I’ve picked up from different corners of the internet, but the main ruleset that I’m using is this one from The Redmond Flats (a combination of the original version and the modified one).
The most important changes I’ve made are:
I allow CAS-sims to marry each other. I don’t use townies in my game (at least not now, at the beginning of the challenge). I also play with ACR to let the sims choose their partners themselves, so not allowing CAS-sims to marry would be impossible.
My goal is to play a semi-integrated hood. Meaning – maids won’t be unlocked until there’s an actual cleaning service company in town, and someone’s working there. There will be exceptions to this rule (which is why it’s semi-integrated). For example, there won’t be a playable babysitter or exterminator in the neighborhood. Instead of strictly following the population goals, I’ll unlock the services when it makes sense. Food services will be unlocked when there’s a corresponding restaurant for example. There will also be restrictions to the services. Butlers will only be used by the richest of the richest sims. Same with the gardener.
Smoke detectors are unlocked when there’s a fire department selling them (which also unlocks the ability to call the fire department). Fire extinguishers will also be sold and can’t be used until a sim actually owns one. The same goes for the burglar alarm, it’ll be unlocked when there’s a police station selling them.
Buy mode is locked until there’s a store selling the specific objects. Meaning –appliances can be bought from buy mode when there’s an appliance store, furniture when there’s a furniture store, and hobby items when there’s a hobby store. (I won’t do specific themed stores like a music store, painting store, and so on).
The store’s business rank also determents how expensive objects you can buy from buy mode. At level one, only the cheapest objects can be bought. If possible, buying the objects from the actual store is preferred, but obviously, they can’t hold every single object from buy mode.
School is unlocked when there’s a teacher in the neighborhood and enough funds to build a school. There might only be an elementary school in the neighborhood for a while. High school unlocks when there's enough funding for a second school. Private School has to be built as separate building too, and only rich families can send their kids there.
My goal is to build every building myself. And I really suck when it comes to building so… Good luck to me…
I might lower the cost of the university to §500000, or just unlock it whenever there are enough funds to build all the necessary buildings. Maybe the neighborhood can take out a loan to build the university at a proper time, and then charge the students to pay it off (and once the loan is paid in full uni is free to attend). I haven’t fully figured this one out yet. However, the population will matter either way. It makes no sense for a town of 10 sims to have its own university.
Traveling is unlocked when there are an airport and a travel agency selling tickets. I might “unlock” a few townies at this point too, to act as tourists.
Randomized lifetime wants actually matter… whatever they’re given by the game is their lifetime want. If they want to reach the top of a locked career, they have to do whatever they can to unlock it. If it’s impossible… Well, too bad for them. Life isn’t fair anyway :) The only exception I have is if too many sims end up with the same LTWs… Then I’ll randomize it again. I’ll never choose their LTW for them (I’m leaving some room for some exceptions though).
Also, I play wants-based (to an extent). It’s most important when it comes to the sim’s relationships. I let their wants (and fears) and their autonomous decisions decide who becomes friends, enemies, or lovers/partners. When it comes to work and skilling, I might make a few decisions for them here and there, otherwise, we’ll be stuck with no unlocked careers and only level-one businesses forever.
At the start of the game, all careers are locked… with the exception of one position in the political career, which is occupied by the chosen mayor (btw, if the mayor is fired because of a bad chance card, they’ll actually be fired, and a new mayor has to take their place).
How to unlock the rest of the careers:
(Just FYI. From here on, a lot of the text is copied from The Redmond Flats, with a few tweaks from me).
Adventure: The first position in this career opens when a museum community lot is placed in the main neighborhood. (Not in any sub-hoods that you've earned and attached.) It doesn't matter if the museum is player-owned or not. What matters is that it must be placed on the largest lot possible in your game. The career is unlocked for all Sims once the first Sim in the career reaches the top of the career track.
Architecture: The first position opens when there are 10 lots (residential or community) in the main neighborhood. Lots in sub-hoods don't count for this. It is always freely open to any Sim with an Art, Physics, or Mathematics degree. The career is never unlocked.
Artist: This career is only open to Sims with an Arts degree. There are no other restrictions, however. The career is never unlocked, but you can have as many Sims in the Artist career as you have Sims with Art degrees.
Athletics: This career is unlocked for all Sims once a player-owned sports-themed community lot is in place. The sport in question can be just about anything: Bowling, darts, ice/roller skating, basketball, soccer, mini-golf, or swimming. Whatever. There must be equipment available to participate in some sort of sport, though. You can't have just a "sports bar."
Business: A new position in this track opens every time a player-owned business of any kind reaches Rank 5. It is unlocked to everyone once someone becomes a Business Tycoon, the top of this track.
Criminal: Unlocks when there’s a police station and a prison in place in the hood. The only sims who can join the career are the ones who either have the LTW to become a criminal mastermind or the trait kleptomaniac. I haven’t downloaded any mod to make the trait functional, this way it still serves a purpose.
Culinary: The first position opens when there’s a restaurant in town. The career is unlocked when there’s a downtown.
Dance: The first position opens when a player-owned dance studio reaches Rank 5. When that first person reaches the top of the career, the career is unlocked for everyone.
Education: One position is opened when an elementary school building is in the hood. Then there’s one position for the high school and one for the private school. The career is unlocked when there’s a university attached (but only to those with an appropriate degree).
Entertainment:  Any Sim who has maxed their Charisma skill may enter this career. It is never unlocked.
Gamer: In order for a Sim to enter the Gamer career, they must personally own at least one of each of the following: an expensive computer, a video game console, a pinball machine, and an arcade game. There can be unlimited Gamers if you want, but each must personally own all of the above equipment. The career is never unlocked.
Intelligence: A position opens in the Intelligence career whenever a Sim reaches the top of the Military, Criminal, or Science career. The career is never unlocked.
Journalism: Any sim who has maxed the writing skill can join the career. The newspaper is unlocked with this career.
Law: The career is only open to Sims with a degree in Political Science, Business, Economics, or Psychology. It is never unlocked.
Law Enforcement: This career is never unlocked, but a position opens whenever one of the following happens:
A burglary Three Sim-started fires A playable Sim reaches the top of the Criminal career Also, there can only be one Police Chief and one Captain Hero at a time.
Medical: The first position opens when there’s a hospital. Once uni is unlocked the career is open to anyone with a degree in biology.
Military: The town must be connected to a downtown and there has to be a military base, built with tax funds. Only sims with at least 5 athletic skills can join. Only one sim can be general at any given time.
Music: The career is unlocked when a community lot including a stage and three musical instruments is placed. This lot does not have to be player-owned.
Natural Science: Open only to Sims with a degree in Biology or Mathematics. The career is never unlocked.
Oceanography: Open to any Sim with a gold fishing badge. The career is never unlocked.
Paranormal: One position opens when there’s a graveyard with 5 gravestones. Every time an occult sim (witch, alien, werewolf, zombie) moves in/sim gets turned an additional position opens.
Politics: The career is completely unlocked once the population reaches 1,000. However, there can only be one mayor at a time.
Science: Any Sim who maxes out both their Logic skill and their science hobby enthusiasm may enter the Science career. The career is always open to Sims with a degree in Biology, Mathematics, or Physics. The career is never unlocked.
Show Business: The career is open to any Sim with a degree in Political Science, Drama, Economics, or Literature, so long as there is already either a Prestidigitator (top of the Entertainment career) or Professional Party Guest (top of the Slacker career) residing in the city. The career is never unlocked.
Slacker: A position is opened whenever a "club" community lot is placed. It is unlocked once the city has a Downtown.
Careers for Pets:
Security: This is unlocked for all pets once there are 5 positions filled in Law Enforcement. Or it is always open to any pet owned by a Sim in Law Enforcement.
Service: Unlocked once the majority of phone services are opened.
Show Business: Open only to talented pets. Talented pets are those who have learned all their commands, except toilet training for cats.
Some other important information/rules:
Unlocking business districts:
You need:
5 player-owned businesses
1 Business Tycoon Sim
When you have 10 player-owned businesses and 2 Business Tycoon Sims you unlock a second business district, and so on. For every business district, you earn 5 CAS-sims.
Unlocking Downtown: Unlocks when the population reaches 25,000. You can only have one attached. It earns you 20 CAS-sims.
Calculating your population: The actual number of sims in the hood X your current multiplier = your population
The first multiplier is given for founding the town, so you start out with 1. Then you get:
+1 for the first community lot you place
+1 each time you reach a multiple of 5 community lots (So, you add one to your multiplier when you reach 5 community lots, then one when you reach 10, then 15, then 20, etc.)
+5 for adding a Downtown
+5 for each Business District
+5 for each University
Expanding your town: You expand your town by creating new households, which in turn earns you community lots, and the community lots earn you new Sims to create.
With every new community lot (player-owned or otherwise) you earn 1 CAS-sim, with every fourth new household you earn a community lot (children moving to their own place, or sims separating, counts as new households).
Have I forgotten something? Most definitely. I might also tweak the rules as I go. Any suggestions? Feel free to share :3

Not sure which ones you've done yet but 🥺 🤡🛠💖🤗🎉
A great set of asks, thank you!
🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between your characters that never fails to put you in your feels?
I’m a big fan of established relationships when I write, and I do always love to show private moments of trust and intimacy between a couple, when they’re hiding away from the world and completely content with their own little bubble of happiness.
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
The whole of Box of Frogs never fails to make me laugh, which is the point of it; here’s an exchange from the start:
Goodnight pinched his brow. He was still in his robe: he should have been eating a croissant and pouring well-judged scorn on the literary section of the New York Times at this stage of the morning. He lifted the lid to inspect the frog again. It could be Josh’s idea of a prank – he could be hanging about under the window, seeing if Vasquez could get them going – but would Vas break a shift for that? Did the frog look a little like Josh? It was hard to say…
‘Is that the truth?’ Even though the question wasn’t directed at him Goodnight heard the edge in Billy’s voice: front-on, that tone never failed to make any listener immediately dredge up their worst secrets and lay them out for inspection.
‘Yes.’ Vasquez still sounded irritated, a sure sign he was being honest. ‘Josh just – just sat there on the stool croaking, and then he hopped away, you should see how far he can go in one jump, and while I was chasing him she must have left, so I couldn’t beg her to change him back.’
‘You had to chase him?’ Billy wrinkled his nose. ‘How can you be sure this is him? It could be some random ordinary frog you caught instead - the real Faraday could still be outside somewhere, catching flies with his tongue.’
Horror flickered across Vasquez’ face, followed by scorn. ‘Of course it’s him. How many other frogs do you think there were in the shop at the time?’
Billy shrugged and Goodnight stepped in before it could get worse. ‘Why have you brought him to us?’
Vasquez fixed him with an intense dark gaze, and even though he knew what was happening Goodnight felt himself start to smoulder inside. ‘So you can fix him.’
‘Cure him?’ Goodnight poked a dubious finger towards FrogJosh. ‘Of what? I’m no expert, but he seems in good health to me. Large, bright-eyed, moist: fine specimen of a frog, probably set the other frogs swooning, or whatever it is they do.’
‘Cure-him-of-being-a-frog,’ said Vasquez between gritted teeth.
Goodnight shook his head. ‘Being a frog’s a state, not a disease. I can only set things right that have gone wrong.’
🛠What tools/programs/apps do you use to write?
This question made me laugh. A ballpoint pen and a sheet of A4 paper! I put the story/chapter into Word after a certain point, but all my editing is done on a printed draft, pen in hand. Writing apps are a mystery to me - they seem to encourage you to do anything but actually write.
💖 What made you start writing?
It was really sudden! I’d never written any fiction, but in 2016 I got ill and became completely dislocated from all my previous interests. I went to the cinema to see The Magnificent Seven (2016) and got caught up in the fictional world in a big way, and I started writing really as a means of inhabiting that fictional world instead of the real world, which was so dire to me at that time. And I discovered so much, about writing and fandom, that I’ve been absorbed by it ever since.
🤗 What advice would you give to new fanfic writers that are just getting started?
Essentially, just go for it. It's fanfic, so nothing is at stake. Don't worry about writing 'rules', just tell the story your heart wants.
And also, be a member of your community. It's not just about you writing and everyone else queuing up to admire it; it's about sharing your enthusiasm with others. So read other people's fics, comment on them, share their art, get involved in challenges. Be the fan you want others to be.
🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success?
If I enjoyed writing it and I enjoy reading it once it's done. I used to stress about external validation, but the experience of doing Yuletide helped with that - Yuletide fics are by definition for minuscule fandoms, meaning that there may only be one or two people who want to read the fic, but creating a story as a gift for someone with whom you share a practically unknown fandom is a delight. So while it's wonderful to get enthusiastic comments and lots of hits, I'm not disappointed when a series like Paradise Alley doesn't get much traction, because I'm so proud of the stories and I love re-reading them so much myself

I don’t really know their intrinsic motivation: I know the girl was allowed to copy my body, even “confuse” herself with it (but she’s something like a black girl)
I know the Lamb tags along because he’s thinking he’s following his wife - which is not wrong - even if I go a level lower, like cause I don’t remember that from the past life 🤨
And I’m not so sure why the spirit agrees to every type of feeling I have and just does my bidding
Which leads to an actual Jesus that agrees with me too 🤨
In that I don’t know what got them to say “yeah” to everything I want in the first place but it was a hell of an incentive and I wondered if it wasn’t something as simple as catching the spirit in one moment of agreement - it could have been anything but his spirit life does have limitations! In that, he can’t just do and be everything imaginable!
He is everything that has been already done and existed, as far as he could understand…which means that everything could have been the original incentive for the constant “yes” to my requests but NOTHING that contradicts itself either: so it couldn’t have been ‘yes’ to eating and working out at the same time! That contradicts itself!
So there was something else that made him agree and even agree that hypocrisy does exist and so other types of rules are necessary…
But see…you just can’t find that original “yes” in this list of random things! 🙄
And then it’s like…he also agrees with my feelings as though they were his: but does he confuse himself with them then?
And yet it’s clearly described that he can SEE me all the time…so how could I assume that he confuses himself with me body-wise AND then feeling-wise? No…
But then how does he drop by so easily in my body and then in everyone else’s right after obviously?
You say you’re not my body - cause you can see me as a separate individual - but then how are your feelings identical with my own and thus how did you end up in the body anyway? 🙄
—-
And lastly, I’m not sure if it’s just me living like so, but I only saw him for sure in male eyesight and my own eyesight…
Women - I could have sworn didn’t have him based on their insane behaviour BUT they do too! 🙄
It’s just that he’s more obviously there because the thinking style is the same AND the eyes for seeing are the same when it comes to males and me 🤨
And I also only have shared perception with them, never with girls 🤨
Oh and since I can know who is perceptive around me - unlike others - I’ve never met a perceptive girl with shared perception…they’re just a little bit too wrong to match my perception
But males do
And that’s like a brain thing 🤨
Like a shared brain thing 🤨
—-
So then I’m like…you obviously entered the biology here as though you did confuse yourself with me body-wise too! But did it start instead with the mind and the feelings first and the body thing was just a planned accident? 🤨

For someone who frequently claims they arent in the art community you sure do care alot about other people's agency regarding their own OCs in an art trading game.
The reason why everyone was getting annoyed with you is because, you asked a question (which is fine), and they gave you an answer, however the answers were clearly not something you wanted to hear so your approach is to simply ask again, but at that point there are no more answers to be given because everything that's been said has already been said. You literally already had a predetermined stance on the situation by calling people's boundaries "dumb" before you posed your question so at that point, no one's answers would be satisfactory to you.
I'm going to address a few things you said:
Saying shit like "well im gonna just draw our ocs together out of spite" is how you get blocked. Go ahead. Do it. Just don't get upset with the consequences. I don't care if you didn't mean it, or if it was out of anger, you've already put it out there and now people have reason to avoid you.
Just because YOUR intent was to draw them in a "100% sfw matter" does not make the boundaries any different or less in place. When someone says "I don't want my OC drawn with other OCs" they mean it in ALL fashions. PERIOD. SFW or NSFW. They want NONE of it.
"I tend to not follow rules that don't make any sense" as neurodivergent person myself I will tell you right now that just because something doesnt make sense does not give you a right to go against someone's wishes. That applies for alot of things.
"It's not like im publishing a whole novel or anything with their characters in it" LITERALLY no one is expecting that nor wanting that. It doesnt matter what form the content is in, whether novel, artwork, sketch, ANYTHING. They do not want your OC interacting with theirs UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. REGARDLESS OF THE MEDIUM. Everyone has different reasons for not wanting their OCs drawn with other people. Maybe they had a triggering experience, or someone broke their trust, or they simply just don't feel comfortable. Whatever the reason may be, THEY don't owe you an explanation. It is entirely okay to find something stupid. You are in your right to find things stupid or not understand things. That is a human thing and we all do it. The problem is that you are actively choosing to bother yourself over boundaries some random people have, when you could be seeking out people with permissions/boundaries that match YOURS. FIND people who DO want their OCs drawn with yours and move on! Who cares about a small group of individuals who don't want their OCs drawn with yours?? You literally could have avoided getting yourself blocked and avoided by alot of people in ArtFight if you just said "hey you know what, I don't get this but whatever. I'll go find some other people" and moved tf on but instead you've made yourself known to be an asshole in the community. You still have a chance to rectify this but you need to understand that the entire world is not going to play by your rules and you're going to learn that very quickly.
I’ve stated multiple times that I only call it dumb out of spite because they were getting on me for not getting it
2. I’m not apart of it especially since I haven’t really interacted with it before because all the shit I’ve seen n this is exactly why
3. If you read further you’d know that I found an actual good reason n I’m now 50/50 on this situation
4. Yes, I will admit I was wrong for saying “I’ll draw it anyway out of spite” yes Im 100% in the wrong for that because I’m not finna hurt innocent people. I said that because I was fed up with people like you assuming shit n getting on me for asking more questions because I like to see all sides before I make a final verdict n I ended up making my final verdict n y’all still mad at me
5. I have said time n time again, I am not using my autism as an excuse nigga, it’s just a reason why I was fixated in making it make sense. It’s almost as if neurodivergent people are different people
6. Also if “no one owes me an explanation” how come, negative n positive responses, niggas been giving me multiple explanations??? That I still can’t, besides the comment that made it make sense to me, understand their point of view???
7. I’m allowed to complain on a literal DRAMA BLOG. I wanted to fucking vent!
8. N y’all keep insisting I’m an asshole JUST BECAUSE I asked a QUESTION. Besides who tf cares if I kept asking more questions??? I was trying to make something, that, for one, I’ve NEVER seen or HEARD of before make any sense
9. It’s pretty ironic you’re gonna say that “the entire world is not going to play by your rules and you're going to learn that very quickly” to ME but we’re not talking about my rules
10. Also one question. How about the people making these rules not confuse people? This is the whole reason I’m venting about it in the first place because if they say they don’t mind their characters with other characters but would prefer not to n me or anyone else WAS to do it anyway, how would that be being disrespectful?? Because I was told this TWICE by two different people from Art Fight.
All I’m getting from these interactions with artist, especially that discord server, is the fact Y’ALL NIGGAS HATE PEOPLE QUESTIONING THEIR SURROUNDINGS. By not questioning everything is how you end up being used n played with constantly! But like I said, my stance is 50/fucking/50 now. I don’t think anyone with the rule is stupid because the people with those rules I respect them, I just thought it was dumb. Maybe I wouldn’t have been more inclined to accept it if y’all weren’t being assholes about it. Literally just asking questions = I’m an asshole ig n having a different opinion from everyone = bad
