Something I didn't mention in the original post is that lionfish gem is a spiritual redraw (that's the best way i can phrase it lol) of this From a Place of Love fanart I did almost exactly a year ago!

It's fun to do redraws where you aren't limited to your past self's compositional errors! I think it's pretty obvious that I've improved in terms of colors and movement.... but something you cant just see is the time improvement. That first piece took me about 12 hours? The gem one only took me three. letsgooo

Kinda in regards to the Empress & BodyGuard 2-

Is Zaphira (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) an elf or do humans have pointed ears in your universe? If no elves, how do the pointed ears happen? Are there different length of ears and if so do they mean somethin?

Love your art & use of colours!

Thank you! and thank you for asking! (this sketch took me way too long .. and the colors still look washed out on my desktop screen but im not editing a third time ..)

Zaphira is human, there are no elves, as such, in this world, though humans tend to live longer than IRL and have differently shaped ears-

the shapes are rather diverse (example above) and culturally (so far) they have no significance, they are merely a trait just like different nose shapes or fantasy hair colors

the worldbuilding reason is that these are extremely diluted demonic influences- in the past demons were frequently in the human world, though largely in secret/disguised, and long time exposure to demonic presences can have varying effects, the most immediate and common being a longer life or wounds healing faster than normal; there might have been other long time effects but the only trait that stayed even after their disappearance is the ear shapes

(there was a mass extinction event of demons that wiped out all above a certain age, since demons generally dont die of natural causes their life neither depends nor revolves around reproduction so there were extremely few left and those were too young to keep most of their knowledge and culture alive, as they rarely wrote anything down; Shargon is of the current oldest generation and witnessed it happen, just like most now adult demons, Thor and Eadrya are both a bit older than him and thus the oldest living demons, which doesnt mean much considering the technically endless lifespans of them)

and to explain me including Shargon in a human appearance- hes the only demon that spends as much time in the human world as at home, largely to escape the others since they are not interested in going there and would otherwise attack him any chance they get (the human world is rather uncomfortable for demons to be in and they have better things to do than to chase him that far), while hes generally very weak compared to them, something he is very good at is shape shifting, mainly the speed of which, being able to shift between full demon and the smaller more humanoid form extremely quickly, or even mid forms that are a mix of both - even in motion! while for the others it takes them quite a bit and forces them to stop which is the main reason he keeps escaping them not able to keep up with his rapid shape shifting (though it does take its toll .. also a reason hes so skinny)

he is the first (only?) one that at some point will learn how to shift into a much more human looking one (depicted in the sketch) too, but its rather dangerous since it involves supressing and compressing his demon heart and system... which is what keeps demons alive (its somewhat like holding your breath for way too long) so the only time he would make use of it is in extreme situations, like avoiding detection by maschines that can pick up demonic energy or escaping shackles made of celestial silver (which drains their energy and can scar/hurt them permanently, like silver to vampires(?werewolfs?) in a way)

....the point is that if he shifts into a human form he has very long ears, meaning that is basically the extreme form that doesnt occur in humans and hints at the origins for those ear shapes being demonic exposure in the past

Being real about this dx11 update and dx9 discontinued support for a sec but this is one of the worst decisions EA has made, and I hate to say it but I don't think they realize the monetary impact this will have on them, I mean, when most of your audience has always been laptop players who are willing to buy a pack for some 20-40 dollars, you'd think they'd want to keep that audience and coddle them. A lot of laptop and non-laptop simmers have put a lot of money into this game and those players who have spent money but don't have the system to run dx11 are gonna be shit out of fucking luck, 100+ dollars down the drain, 100 DOLLARS!!! that doesn't even count for the people who HAVE spent all their money on EVERY DLC. 1000 DOLLARS. A THOUSAND DOLLARS. nows not the time to shame people for spending money on sims 4 because while it's ridiculous and there are safe ways to sail the seven seas, I completely understand people who are too scared to sail the seven seas. Again, People have spent REAL MONEY that they CANNOT GET BACK on this game, and now they just have to. stop playing, because their device cannot support dx11, and wallow in their own financial loss. I feel like I cannot do any justice of the grief that people will experience with my words, but this IS going to be a problem.

We're definitely gonna some lose simmers in this community, beloved simmers, underrated simmers, simmers who may have just started out and can no longer continue, simmers who work their ass off to create beautiful work even with a low-end device, simmers who may have been a long time simmer in the community. So many people who were hoping to find a community and gain an audience in simblr, now unable to do this because their device cannot handle dx11.

That being said please remember you don't have to make sims stuff to be a part of the community, if you are a simmer, have been a simmer or want to be a simmer, then you are a simmer, don't let this discontinued support make you think it effects your position in this community.

Additionally, I know this is not a solution to the issue at hand, but there are plenty of guides out there to play the previous/retro sims games, if you want to play Sims 2, OSAB (on here) has the entire game and packs for FREE and easy to install, there's guides on how to install Sims 3 (I cannot reccomend any as I have the disc's so I don't need to sail the seven seas), and the Sims 1 is just a one click easy download on Oldgamesdownload (Yes I took the risk, not knowing if it was real or a virus, and my Laptop is perfectly fine). So even if you feel like you cannot be a simmer because you can't play Sims 4, there's a beautiful and thriving community around the retro games, and like I said, you don't HAVE to play Sims games to be a simmer, you are always gonna be a simmer through and through and will be accepted and loved in this community all the same.

zonked out on the dog bed snoring up a storm. you come over and rub the soft spot on the top of my nose. i let out the most contented sigh

[twomoonsz]

okay so i’ve been slowly accumulating songs that would fit into a gearbreakers edit if we had any type of adaptation. my imagination is lowkey crazy and i can totally see what scenes would be used for each edit. here’s some of my favorites i’ve thought of so far and i have so many more.

My favorite TLMGame lines & Interactions :333

Well im not sure if these are considered my FAVORITE since there is a LOT and i find ALL the lines in the game just as enjoyable, interesting and or humorous. This was written in the order of the levels which they take place. Also just a warning this is kinda long!!!!!!!

"Wha..? Ow." From Emmet when starting the game. (So silly we lovee that!)

Benny's "YEAHOO" when successfully hacking computers

𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

Emmet getting the first instruction page: "Excellent--instructions! now we have purpose!"

(Also all of Emmet's interactions to his coworkers in general. I admire how comfortable he seems around them, although they couldn't care less...)

𝗘𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗖𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱:

Benny: "Were being boarded!...... or is that just ships. Like can you board a..... Can you board a submarine"

(I like it when Benny stutters and speaks a bit awkwardly, it gives him a LOT of character and makes his lines feel more realistic in a way.)

Vitruvius: "So, how does my bit look? Seriously i cant tell, im blind!"

Benny: "uh...it looks nice"

Vitruvius: "Great. I had a horrible feeling it was green and brown." (it was.)

𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: (Lucy and Emmet talking like robots.)

Emmet: "You-seem-very-annoyed-for-a-robot."

(She did the whole time and both of them sounded like they couldnt keep that voice up for any longer 😭😭)

Emmet: "Whats happening!?"

Batman: "That doofus Benny is happening."

Emmet: "Benny you moved the gantry the wrong way."

Benny: "Sorrry!"

(I love Batman & Emmet's lines to eachother in general. And their dynamic, they're VERY silly!!!!!!!)

𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀:

Bad Cop: "I know! and that means were going to the server room!"

Wyldstyle: "Why, whats in there?"

Bad Cop "Its full of machinery we can use to build...a space-ship"

Benny: "W-what? Dont toy with me, man... What kind of Spaceship?"

Bad Cop: "Oh, you know - big, blue, pointy, the kind that looks like its from the ninteen-eightes!"

Benny: "Everyone get moving! We got a spaceship to build!!"

Metalbeard to Unikitty about Bad Cop:

"I dont like to speak out of turn. but isnt that policeman the bilge-rat who was shooting at you eariler?"

"its okay hes nice now."

"If you trust him unikitty, then thats good enough for me."

(Metalbeard, Unikitty & Benny's friendship is very sweet!!!!!)

Metalbeard to Benny: "Then you better find a way to get me down there! Me peg leg's givin me jip!"

𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆:

Justin Furneaux: "Whoa! Where did you come from?!"

Emmet: "Im not sure. I was in this weird place where i could see the whole universe in front of me, and there was this giant pink squishy creature who i think controls it somehow."

Justin Furneaux: "Oh... So an asylum, then? Great."

𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗴 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸:

Green Lantern: Hey there man. Has ol' Supes been bugging you about our amazing friendship?

"Emmet: "Uh sure..."

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻:

ALL of angry kittys lines especially to Business

Business to Gandalf: "Ive already knocked one old man's head off today - I can do it again!"

(Genuinely made my jaw drop the first time i heard it! 10/10 line because oh my goodness.)

𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲: "You dont have to be the bad guy."

(This was from a scene in the movie but only in the game can you hear Finn saying "You" at the same time as Emmet. It is quite fascinating.)

have been thinking about professor sol even. professor bufo with no clearly discernable lesson plan. sol bufo ostensibly martial arts professor who spent two weeks running a yoga and meditation program and shows up to the next class with crochet hooks for everyone. professor bufo who is technically supposed to be assigning grades to students but hasnt given anyone less than an A because "i think they worked really hard and they did a great job :)" (referring to the ugliest and most malformed pot holder anyone has laid eyes upon in their life). professor bufo who is on his way to cluelessly kickstart the sexual awakening of about half the cohort of the academys new students. sol bufo adjunct professor who is gone half the year and his first class back is so immediately and easily baited into going into a long tangent about how cool his friends are. sol who is pretty sure hes easily the most useless professor on campus and almost cries when he sees his little desk overflowing with thank you notes at the end of the year. professor bufo absolutely fucking gloriously hot in the tightest little sweater vest because there were faculty complaints when he wore a crop top to class.

musing about what a translation of the silt verses would sound like and immediately running headfirst into the problem of whether and how to translate 'Sister Carpenter'

[ametrime]

Mayors rooommmm!!! Err posting this separately bc this looks more refined slightly just a little bit

Bro i just accidentally blasted tyler the creator for a second its fckin midnight STUPID BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES i could literally write a fanfic between them and my phone because they only work with it and no other device. Call that loyal fluff or yandere bc the amount of times this has happened makes you think id learn my lesson and never pair them with anything other than what they were literally made for but nooo i just gave me a heart attack,my baby cat sleeping right near me a jumpscare and my parents a reason to kill me but thankfully everyone's alive

Anyway yeah for any fezheads checking the fez tag every day diligently while filtering out the whatever tv show that pops up THIS IS FOR U🫶🫶

If I think about it it’s a little weird that Jacksonville has an NFL team and Orlando doesn’t. Then again I guess Tampa Bay already covers central Florida and North Florida doesn’t really have any pro teams in any sport other than the Jags and minor league baseball and hockey. To be fair there’s kind of nothing up here but. Not that I’m mad. I like my stupid football team. I just never talk about them because they’re kinda shit.

[mistress-of-malevolence]

...And if you're gonna call me a bitch, you better put dumb in front of it, because guess who bought a bottle of "melatonin" from the pharmacy after staring at the shelf for actually 5 minutes trying to decide what dose to get only realizing several hours later that it wasn't melatonin, but magnesium AFTER swallowing a capsule and not even from the taste but from taking a second to READ THE FUCKING LABEL TWICE.

*points thumbs at myself* this girllll
