Justin Hills (Sleeping With Sirens)

As you walk around your kitchen getting everything together for your valentine’s meal with Justin your phone goes off on the counter next to you, and you smile seeing Justin's number.

‘Don’t tell me you got lost again, the shop isn’t even that far away,’ you joke, as you accept the call and put the phone to your ear.

On the other end Justin huffs, ‘I get lost one time and you never let me forget it y/n.’

You laugh a little, ‘more like twice, but why did you call? The takeouts just arrived by the way so I’ll start plating it up.’

‘I just wanted to let you know I’ve left the shop and am heading back so shouldn’t be more than five minutes. I was a little confused about something but I think I figured it out myself,’ he doesn’t sound quite sure of himself but you don’t question what confused him since he was meant to be getting soft drinks.

‘Okay, see you soon. I love you.’

‘Love you more,’ he replies and hangs up the call.

You plate up the takeout and carry it into the lounge where you’d tried your hardest to decorate the coffee table to look romantic along with the room, but you only had a limited budget so you were stuck with candles, fairy lights and some fake flowers that looked nice.

Exactly five minutes later the front door opens and you walk over to check on Justin who was taking his shoes off and carrying two carrier bags.

‘Do you think we’re going to run out of drinks?’ you joke.

He looks up at you with his cutest widest eyes that made a lot of people melt and holds up the bags proudly, ‘tonight we celebrate, so I decided to make it a little bit fancier y/n.’

You take one of the bags off him and open it looking at the contents, ‘err why did you get a bottle of red wine and a bottle of white wine?’

He brushes past you and grins widely, ‘I don’t know what kind of wine goes with takeout, so I kind of got both.’

You tilt your head towards him, ‘and what’s in the second bag?’

He opens the bag and pulls out a bottle of champagne, ‘this looked good so I also got this. Tonight is going to get interesting.’

You can’t keep the smile off your face at his adorableness and slightly flirty undertone. So you put the bag down, walk over to him and hug him, before pulling back to kiss him on the cheek which makes him blush, ‘I love you Justin, don’t ever change.’

He smirks and kisses you back, ‘I love you y/n, and trust me I’m never going to change my weird ways.’

Hi, I hope youre doing well! :) I know there is already masterlists about it but do you maybe know even more fics where Harry is jealous of Draco? Its my favourite trope and you just always deliver 🫶🏻

Hi anon! You’ve probably checked my old reclist for this trope so here are some additional recs for you. Enjoy! ☺️

Byzantine by @oflights (T, 1k)

“He bought them at auction,” Draco says in a hushed sort of voice, beaming down at the dangly gold earrings Harry is frantically casting on. “I can’t even imagine the price—not that that matters, of course, it would be thoughtful either way, but look—those are genuine pearls, Harry. Byzantine! Sixth century!”

The Real Thing by @skeptiquewrites (M, 5k)

Harry only means to cheer Draco up after a terrible breakup. He doesn't mean to fall in love.

Two of Us by @sorrybutblog (E, 5.5k)

The gang goes to a gay bar. Or: five times Harry accidentally pretended to be Draco’s boyfriend and one time Draco told him to put out or shut up.

Deadheading the Odd Dahlia by @peachpety (E, 8.7k)

Harry is content to spend his days at Draco’s flower stall at the farmers market, burying his true feelings in artisanal coffee and rose bouquets. When forced to find new lodgings, he accepts Draco’s offer to live in a cottage at Malfoy Manor, and his long-hidden crush blossoms out of control. Turns out, proximity makes the heart grow fonder.

Let Me Roll It by @lagerloutfic (E, 9.5k)

The thing about Harry was, he hated most people. And there was no one he hated more than Draco’s boyfriend Justin - certified knob and all round wanker. So when he finds out Justin is just as selfish inside the bedroom as he is outside it, Harry can’t help himself.

Once Upon a (Wet) Dream by InnerLilith (E, 13k)

Once a year, Harry has a very strange dream. Meanwhile, in real life, he’s falling for Draco Malfoy.

The Matchmaker's Spell by @kbrick (E, 21k)

Thanks to a spell cast over all of wizarding Britain, Draco is forced to marry Harry Potter, who still hates him. But Draco refuses to live a cold, sexless existence, choosing to fill the emptiness in his life and his bed with a parade of lovers. And while Harry may not be able to stand Draco, he despises seeing him with anyone else.

LA, Who Am I To Love You? by @epitomereally (E, 42k)

Harry’s summer in LA is not going as expected. Pansy Parkinson keeps inviting him to parties in the Hollywood Hills and harassing him to finally go to the physical therapist, Blaise Zabini keeps slipping new strains of his company’s magical weed into Harry’s pockets in hopes of an endorsement, and Draco Malfoy keeps having sex with everyone but Harry.

OMORI - Voice Actor Headcanons.

While I haven’t exactly finished this game yet, I am close enough to the end and have met basically all the characters, so I think it’s time I got around to doing my good ol’ series of VA headcanons for a game that either doesn’t have one, or doesn’t have an English Dub.

This time we’re doing Omori, a game I started playing at the beginning of this year and have fallen in love with very very quickly. I’ve been through a very painful time of my life recently and this game helped me work through it letting me know that it doesn’t matter how I grieve, just that any way I can is correct. 

And the way the characters work together in the game is also incredible, and I was eagerly awaiting to get to the point that I’m at so I could do a VA headcanons section for this. So before we get started, let me once again go two things.

This is NOT CANON. These are HEADCANONS and are unofficial. It’s just a hypothetical situation. If the characters were voiced, this is who I imagine would voice them.

Every major character in the games is included here, so there are HEAVY SPOILERS for the game’s main storylines. DO NOT READ THIS POST IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THE GAME OR DON’T WANT TO BE SPOILED.

Without further ado, let’s get into this.

Sexual Squealing! Words: Jonny Dee, Photographer: Steve Double Taken from the New Musical Express, 9 April 1994 Transcription: Acrylic Afternoons

After 13 years Pulp are Top 40 virgins no more, having finally lost their pop cherry with 'Do You Remember The First Time?' Jonny Dee shares some pillow talk with Jarvis Cocker and comedian/Pulp fan Jo Brand before making his excuses and leaving to poll various popstars about their very own first time.

Pressed up against a hotel room window 25 flights above the city. With UHT cream. And the whole of the Cowdenbeath reserve football team watching. In the toilets on Concorde. On a desk, On the roof. On a washing machine. They did it with candle wax. They did it in a bin liner filled with sun tan lotion. Up against the bonnet of a hired car, in Safeways car-park, at night, right in front of a security camera. With fruit. On drugs. In the bath with a bottle of Matey. She smeared fish paste all over his chest then they went at it like rabbits. In the rain. With Robbie Coltrane. On a mountain. They did it.

For most people, these situations are ridiculous fantasies. It never really happens like that. For the majority of us, it's damp patches, squeaky beds awkward. Pulp realise this. They know there's a world somewhere in between David Lynch and Grange Hill, The concrete world of council estates, Berni Inns, parks and pubs.

Jarvis Cocker, Pulp, Jo Brand and the NME have sat around a table in an East London photo studio all weekend, drinking coffee, telling each other things they'd never dare tell their mothers. About wanking... "I remember when someone first mentioned the word masturbate," remembers Jarvis. "I raced home to look in the dictionary and it said 'to abuse oneself'. I thought what, like shout 'you twat' at the mirror?"

About friends, about going with your best mate's girlfriend, Jarvis has talked about his favourite celebrity perv rumours - the American singer who enjoyed shitting on a glass coffee table while his partner lay underneath; the hamster story; the TV host who said "f--- me 'til I fart" to the producer in what they thought was an empty studio; the '80s star who went to hospital and had two pints of semen pumped out of him ("Later, it became dog semen!").

He talked about his first time, and his last time and the in between times. Now it seemed as if he'd gone too far - revealed too much. Recently Jarvis Cocker told a magazine about an erotic correspondence he keeps with a woman he has never met. Talking about how it had ruined the salacious magic of their postal affair. Revealing his sexual fantasy now would probably do the same. You don't have to tell us if you don't want, Jarvis. But he will. Because Jarvis Cocker loves to talk. And when you talk to Jarvis Cocker it is impossible not to talk about sex.

Pulp's songs are full of it. Their excellent new album, 'His 'n' Hers', is bulging with songs about shagging, and relationships, and what goes on between two people behind the net curtains: 'Lipgloss' - about being chucked by your lover; 'Acrylic Afternoons' - about making love in the afternoon being more special because everyone else is at work; 'Babies' - about spying on teenage lovers from a wardrobe; 'Pink Glove' - about dressing up to keep your sexual appetite feisty; and, of course, Pulp's first bona fide hit single 'Do You Remember The First Time?'.

Jarvis remembers his first time. He talks about it in a short film Pulp have made about the subject which will be shown on Channel 4 next month. It was in a park in his hometown of Sheffield, at night, behind some privet hedges, about 20 yards away from a bandstand. He was 19 and Pulp had just released their first album. Also in the film, talking about who, why, when and where are a dozen or so friends and celebrities - Jo Brand. Vic & Bob, Terry Hall, Alison Steadman. Justine from Elastica and Vivien Stanshall, among others.

"People imagine that celebrities have this idealised life," says Jarvis. "Again, it's the thing about sex being shown in this idealised light and really you should do it on a beach at sunset and violins are going to be playing. And somehow, if you do it in the back of a Ford Cortina then you've not done it properly. These famous people, all their introductions were as fumbling and untidy as anyone else's."

Russell, Pulp's guitarist, who has puzzlingly brought along 182 pairs of second-hand sunglasses all wrapped in protective plastic sheets, is, obviously, an obsessively fastidious character. Yet he is a man whose current star status - Pulp are on the verge of their much-longed-for Top Of The Pops and This Morning debuts - is anchored to nappies and bringing home the bacon as father to a six-month-old boy and five-year-old girl. Russell's sexual awakenings are, unsurprisingly, the strangest of all. He was 16 on a camping holiday with some mates... "I met this ginger lass and although I didn't really like her very much I thought, y-know, she was alright. So I asked her back to our tent, there was about four of us in it and nothing really happened but in the middle of the night I got all tangled and I ended up on top of this person next to me, doing it. But it wasn't this ginger girl, it was my friend's girlfriend," And was the friend in the tent at the time? "Oh yeah, he wasn't very happy about it, like"

Bassist Steve, a Sheffield Wednesday fan, lost his cherry in a house that backed on to Sheffield United's Bramall Lane ground when he was 16, to a glamorous blonde nine years his senior. Nick, the drummer, rather suitably since he's the sensible member of the group, lost his in a loft conversion "on some nice orange scatter cushions".

Resplendent in self-applied make-up and jumble sale chic, Pulp have the air of a band that has just stepped out of the salon. Jo Brand, meanwhile, looks like she's just stepped out of Ladbrokes. She is here today to share a makeshift conjugal bed with Jarvis for the NME. The scene is intended to insinuate that Jo has just seduced the lead singer of Britain's most fancy pop band. In reality the liaison is far from romantic - photographer Steve Double stands five feet above them balancing on a wobbling plank suspended between two ageing step ladders.

"Could you light up another fag, please Jo?" asks the lensman as the comedian puts out her 15th Silk Cut of the hour. "Oh, yes please," she deadpans, relishing the prospect. Sadly, in true life, Jo and Jarv are not lovers, but just good friends. They met after Brand professed a liking for Pulp in an NME interview and later agreed to appear in the First Time film. Hers was at a party, in the bathroom, with her head knocking against the toilet through the 30 seconds it took her first mate to climax. Jarvis and Jo make a good couple, both are collected and down to earth and from similar backgrounds - both have cared for people with disabilities, Jo as a psychiatric nurse, Jarvis in a nursery for deaf children. "When I first met Jarvis I embarrassed him by saying I thought 'Razzmatazz' was a work of utter genius," Jo reveals. "I don't really like much modern music, my head is stuck in the bands I liked when I was a teenager - The Clash and The Damned. But Pulp are great. I like Jarvis' songs because he realises that life is basically shit, but it's OK really."

That's Jarvis and Pulp encapsulated. For most people, the realisation that life is basically shit and not all Tizer and Cadbury's Roses comes when they're tortured teenagers, Jarvis Cocker, though, had his first Bell Jar moment at the age of five. "I had meningitis, that's what f---ed up my eyes. And because everyone thought I was going to die I got given loads of brilliant presents. then when I didn't die all the presents had to be burnt. All except these crap rubber spacemen 'cos they could be boiled. Things were never the same after that."

Amongst the confessions in the film there is an almost inconsequential long shot of a heavily pregnant mother wheeling a tot in a buggy. It's there to tell you that this, without precautions, is what the sweaty moments on shag-pile carpets result in. More tellingly, it looks as if the woman is no actress but has been filmed surreptitiously. Likewise, Pulp songs sometimes seem like small fragments of life glanced at from outside basement windows, lives constructed from strangers spotted in bus shelters.

It is easy to see why friends readily confess their amorous liaisons to Jarvis. He's easy to get on with, with a gentle Sheffield accent and unflappable nature. It is only when he forgets himself and starts mimicking the NME photographer's southern tones during the photo shoot that you see a different side of him. "Innit, innit," scoffs Cocker. "Taking the piss?" snaps Double half-jokingly. Cocker is visibly flustered. He is not, it seems, a man who enjoys confrontation - especially not violent ones. 'Joyriders' on the album is inspired by a gang of 14-year-olds his Hillman Imp broke down next to on a Sheffield estate. For a moment he thought they were going to attack him: that used to happen a lot when he was a kid because of his height and his glasses. Instead they made him sit in the Ford Sierra they'd stolen, listening to a rave radio station, while they hotwired his car for him.

So when was the last time you were hit? "It was about four days before last Christmas in London, about 3:30 in the morning. Me and Steve were walking back from a party and we saw these three kids on the other side of the road. One of them said, kind of cheerfully, 'Do you wanna fight?' It was said like, 'Have you got a light?', not aggressive, really casually. And while I was thinking about it he hit me in the face and my glasses went flying. Steve tried to pick my glasses up and he got kicked in the face." Did you hit him back? "No."

Have you ever started a fight? "Only once, at school. It was with one of my friends and we didn't really want it to happen but we kind of got stuck in this thing of saying 'I'm harder than you' and before we knew it everyone was crowding round us shouting 'fight, fight'. It became known as the longest fight in school history. I've never liked the idea of hitting someone in the face, it doesn't seem right, so I was trying really hard just to hit his sides and he couldn't reach my head anyway, so it just went on for hours."

Who or what do you despise? "Quality music - this spineless soul or castrated reggae that seems to mean quality, all this 'we're sophisticated us' when they're about as sophisticated as a plate of whelks. AOR music - Phil Collins, Eric Clapton. the main reason being - apart from the dire quality of the music - that by inference it implies that if you're an adult you're only interested in blandness. It's like once you get to a certain age you're not interested in anything exciting any more, you just want something that sounds OK on the M25."

Right now thousands will be having a Pulp record in their house for the first time. 'His 'n' Hers' is a perfect introduction: like a box of chocolates with equal portions of milk and dark, it is scattered with the teenage pop sensibilities of 'Babies' and 'Lipgloss', and with the crooning adult symphonies of 'Someone Like The Moon' and 'Pink Glove'. It is, indeed, utterly wonderful - Jarvis' voice reaching hitherto unheard ecstatic highs, from a Bryan Ferry, to an Ian Curtis, to a cheesy crooner, forever sounding like a man possessed by the music and only just managing to keep his composure.

Right now Pulp are possibly the most fashionable band in Britain, yet to many who have never been convinced by Cocker & co's shenanigans there lurks a deep suspicion that Pulp somehow aren't a proper band. They've been around too long (13 years), they're too old, they're a joke. They are all unpretentious, candid people who treat their fans as friends and maybe this is part of their problem - there's no mystery. Where most bands would spend their record company advance on fast cars and the latest Issey Miyake, Pulp take the train and shop at Cancer Research. Steve, currently homeless, prefers to sleep on Jarvis' floor rather than take up the offer of a free hotel bed.

Most of Pulp are all too aware that there are people who loathe their band for all the wrong reasons. They've read the ground-level presumptions: that Pulp are ironic, wacky and kitch, one too many times. They're hardly likely to carve '4 Real' into their forearms but, says Steve, "Just because we don't take ourselves too seriously doesn't mean we don't mean it." "We didn't set out to be different from other bands," adds Jarvis, "it just sort of evolved. That's what upsets me when people write those things - it implies it's all a clever joke. And the minute you mention the word ironic it implies you're not involved in things, and that's not true. I'd hate people to think I was observing things from a great height and saying 'this is what human beings are like, aren't they silly'. It is heartfelt."

The 'In Bed' pictures finished, Jo and Jarvis untangle themselves from the bedsheets and change out of their nightwear. They sit around for a while, flicking through the 1970s Men & Women magazines Jarvis bought from the charity shop across the road, and talk naturally turns to sex once more. "I read this problem in a tabloid paper recently," Brand tells us. "It was from this woman who enjoyed smearing fish paste on this bloke she was having an affair with. Then one day her husband came home from work early and the only way her lover could get out of the house was to jump through the window. And her question was: 'Can I get the council to repair the window?'"

It is that time once more. Time to ask Jarvis about his darkest sexual fantasy. Has he done it pressed up against a window, in a bin liner, with fish paste? With a nun? With two nuns? "I'm not going to tell you," he says, temptingly, mysteriously. "But it involves sherbet fountains."

Native American Heritage Month: Fiction Recommendations

Celebrate Native American Heritage Month by checking out one of these fiction recommendations from your local library!

The Removed by Brandon Hobson

In the fifteen years since their teenage son, Ray-Ray, was killed in a police shooting, the Echota family has been suspended in private grief. The mother, Maria, increasingly struggles to manage the onset of Alzheimer’s in her husband, Ernest. Their adult daughter, Sonja, leads a life of solitude, punctuated only by spells of dizzying romantic obsession. And their son, Edgar, fled home long ago, turning to drugs to mute his feelings of alienation. With the family’s annual bonfire approaching - an occasion marking both the Cherokee National Holiday and Ray-Ray’s death, and a rare moment in which they openly talk about his memory - Maria attempts to call the family together from their physical and emotional distances once more. But as the bonfire draws near, each of them feels a strange blurring of the boundary between normal life and the spirit world. Maria and Ernest take in a foster child who seems to almost miraculously keep Ernest’s mental fog at bay. Sonja becomes dangerously fixated on a man named Vin, despite - or perhaps because of - his ties to tragedy in her lifetime and lifetimes before. And in the wake of a suicide attempt, Edgar finds himself in the mysterious Darkening Land: a place between the living and the dead, where old atrocities echo.

Crooked Hallelujah by Kelli Jo Ford

It's 1974 in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and fifteen-year-old Justine grows up in a family of tough, complicated, and loyal women, presided over by her mother, Lula, and Granny. After Justine's father abandoned the family, Lula became a devout member of the Holiness Church - a community that Justine at times finds stifling and terrifying. But Justine does her best as a devoted daughter, until an act of violence sends her on a different path forever. Crooked Hallelujah tells the stories of Justine - a mixed-blood Cherokee woman - and her daughter, Reney, as they move from Eastern Oklahoma's Indian Country in the hopes of starting a new, more stable life in Texas amid the oil bust of the 1980s. However, life in Texas isn't easy, and Reney feels unmoored from her family in Indian Country. Against the vivid backdrop of the Red River, we see their struggle to survive in a world - of unreliable men and near-Biblical natural forces, like wildfires and tornados - intent on stripping away their connections to one another and their very ideas of home.

Betty by Tiffany McDaniel

"A girl comes of age against the knife." So begins the story of Betty Carpenter. Born in a bathtub in 1954 to a Cherokee father and white mother, Betty is the sixth of eight siblings. The world they inhabit is one of poverty and violence - both from outside the family, and also, devastatingly, from within. The lush landscape, rich with birdsong, wild fruit, and blazing stars, becomes a kind of refuge for Betty, but when her family's darkest secrets are brought to light, she has no choice but to reckon with the brutal history hiding in the hills, as well as the heart-wrenching cruelties and incredible characters she encounters in her rural town of Breathed, Ohio. But despite the hardship she faces, Betty is resilient. Her curiosity about the natural world, her fierce love for her sisters, and her father's brilliant stories are kindling for the fire of her own imagination, and in the face of all she bears witness to, Betty discovers an escape: she begins to write. She recounts the horrors of her family's past and present with pen and paper and buries them deep in the dirt - moments that has stung her so deeply, she could not tell them, until now.

When Two Feathers Fell From the Sky by Margaret Verble 

Two Feathers, a young Cherokee horse-diver on loan to Glendale Park Zoo from a Wild West show, is determined to find her own way in the world. Two’s closest friend at Glendale is Hank Crawford, who loves horses almost as much as she does. He is part of a high-achieving, land-owning Black family. Neither Two nor Hank fit easily into the highly segregated society of 1920s Nashville. When disaster strikes during one of Two’s shows, strange things start to happen at the park. Vestiges of the ancient past begin to surface, apparitions appear, and then the hippo falls mysteriously ill. At the same time, Two dodges her unsettling, lurking admirer and bonds with Clive, Glendale’s zookeeper and a World War I veteran, who is haunted - literally - by horrific memories of war. To get to the bottom of it, an eclectic cast of park performers, employees, and even the wealthy stakeholders must come together, making When Two Feathers Fell from the Sky an unforgettable and irresistible tale of exotic animals, lingering spirits, and unexpected friendship.

My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones

Jade Daniels is an angry, half-Indian outcast with an abusive father, an absent mother, and an entire town that wants nothing to do with her. She lives in her own world, a world in which protection comes from an unusual source: horror movies…especially the ones where a masked killer seeks revenge on a world that wronged them. And Jade narrates the quirky history of Proofrock as if it is one of those movies. But when blood actually starts to spill into the waters of Indian Lake, she pulls us into her dizzying, encyclopedic mind of blood and masked murderers, and predicts exactly how the plot will unfold. Yet, even as Jade drags us into her dark fever dream, a surprising and intimate portrait emerges... a portrait of the scared and traumatized little girl beneath the Jason Voorhees mask: angry, yes, but also a girl who easily cries, fiercely loves, and desperately wants a home. A girl whose feelings are too big for her body.

Gale and Randy are literally the biggest opposites imaginable from Brian and Justin and I'm still in shock how perfect they were for their roles??? The whole casting process for both of them??? Simply a destiny that lead them to these roles. I cannot process how these two introverted artsy wirdos did what they did in qaf?????? They should've been given all the awards in the world for their performances and I will die on that hill

Hey!

It makes me feral when I think about the casting process especially Gale's journey it was literally 🎇 destiny 🎇 it reads like an episode of television itself it's that wild. Then Randy's audition nearly getting lost forever and not even being seen? Imagine the horrors?

But the possibility of two guys 8/9 years apart in age (I'm sure Randy was 22 and Gale was 29/30 when they started) working on their first major show together both being weirdo introverted bohemian art types like what are the chances lmao. The fact that in between takes they'd be discussing some abstract french cinematic masterpiece they'd watched or what's the meaning of life? before action was called. Randy morphing into a lovesick teen and Gale a confident sarcastic motherfucker is SO funny to me. You can see in some bts shots of them reading books together and being total nerds. It's actually really sweet they bonded and hung out after work because even the cast commented on how physically comfortable they were with one another and Sharon said she found watching them make out very hot so it definitely helped their acting!

The whole casts chemistry is so good genuinely can't imagine anyone else playing their parts regardless of your faves.

Juliette wants to get a car for her 18th birthday. And a house renovation because their house has no parking slots.

Hermia's now a D- student. They kinda suffer from the "middle child syndrome" despite being the youngest. Tybalt is known as a narcissistic prick hiding his true feelings nah because ACR made him straight and an unofficial heir. Juliette is the golden trouble child in a secret love with a boy from an enemy family. Hermia... No one really knows.

Hermia has some school presentation to do for their Simlish class.

Consort has found himself a woman interested in him and his money. Not named Dina Caliente. Before his meeting he went to the bakery to buy a cake for another meeting but did not bought any because the bakery has not been set up.

He found in a old people's newspaper a woman to go on a date with, named Betty Goldstein. She described herself as a retired teacher from Riverblossom Hills, childfree, suffering from lonelyness.

Starting off their date with a prank. A lady on a level. Somehow they got along but it was hard. Unsupervised they got into a fight.

Hermia, being the only vegan in the family technically they have a vegetarian trait but in that timeline vegans weren't as known as they are now. And I want to relate to some sims okay? has to make their own meals (Consort doesn't care and thinks 'it's a phase'. They have some avocado toast.

Tybalt and Juliette went on a prom. She was with Romeo but Tybalt by accident went with Justin Cleveland because I forgor I could click X to go alone. Somehow the mod got bugged and popups were empty.

Tybalt befriended Josh Russell (from Riverside). Not a kind of a teen I imagine him to like (Josh is like, from poor/low status household, a nice guy who wants to live a simple life) but he wanted to.

Juliette is a gamer gorl. Her main hobby is bowling but it didn't prevent her from playing the best game ever, The Sims 4. Maybe she'll become a streamer?

Hermia enjoys mainly watching various series on Simflix, but recently likes learning new skills. They keep rolling wants to learn, despite not being Knowledge.

so this week I flew across the country by myself to see my favourite band in the entire world. practically nothing went amiss. I had random interactions with lovely people. my hobbling faith in humanity has straightened its spine a bit? I’ll be cringe about this below because I want to remember, let’s have some positivity for once.

I hate that I like nissan rogues, I know the transmissions are dogshit. rented one for a day to avoid dragging luggage all over hell’s creation. sound system fucked hard. LOUD paul barker. ate hella steak, eggs and pancakes at pancake chef near seatac. alright alright alright. 

killed time before hotel check-in, visited lakeview for brandon and bruce lee, ended up perusing the cemetery with a multi-talented guy from LA for about an hour swapping perspectives, observations on the human condition and tombstone critiques. glossy black crow perched on an equally inky granite headstone embellished with a huge cross - oh my goth, bro. eric, I’m sorry your cat died, you are rad and I will try to find your music online. be water, my friend.

the fashionable gentleman who checked me into the hotel was a sweetheart, down with skinny puppy, name dropped wax trax, awesome taste in rings.

dipped out for coffee, asked directions from coffee-holding stranger in glasses to make sure I was headed the right way. ran into him the next day in my new hoodie post gig, he mentioned how he used to work at a record store in edmonton, sold records to cEvin. what? insane.

seattle has too many hills, someone should do something about this. but very walkable. always move confidently with purpose, shoulders back, mean mug, look like you want to curb-stomp god. never appear lost.

found a 24 hr cafe near the kurt cobain twin tower / frasier obelisk that served a mean breakfast and was blasting tunes at 9:30am. several compliments on my filthy rat nest hair. what is this fever dream? unwashed hair is in. pancakes are my passion.

wandered to the paramount to get my bearings, saw justin by the tour bus and that metalworker ephraim dude’s sick rusted-out mad max’d honda cr-v. meandered around for the rest of the afternoon before skuppy-prep time. incredible roast beef horseradish sandwich. cool and good.

hung out in the GA line for a while, no VIP this time, wind picked up and it was pretty cold for a may evening. ended up next to a tough looking dude during the show, chatted a bit, he was a kmfdm roadie for a few tours. said his best puppy show was new orleans, I can only imagine. he reminded me of wez from the road warrior. thank you R for the gum, it gave me a second wind.

the paramount theatre is something out of a golden fairytale, gilded to the gills. generous stage for alien abuse. fantastic acoustics. reminds me of the hippodrome. I relished irving plaza’s intimacy but the paramount was my favourite venue.  

I will never tire of seeing lead into gold. soundtrack for slowly asphyxiating in a warm tar pit but make it erotic. thank you paul barker, long-legged light of our lives.

no surge/mosh at this show- if so, I didn’t notice. the energy was on point. denver had some choice dumbasses in the crowd, no such issue here.   seattle mirrored silver spring imo, excellent all around.  I made a brief, wonky post touching on this but in denver ogre was still obviously uncomfortable. that made me feel fucked up... and quiet afterwards.  this time around he seemed in great spirits, tons of energy, spinning the mic around a bunch, writhing all over the place to thwart tormentor!dustin (our boy is flexible). everyone was going wild, we all yelled ourselves hoarse. got to use their A setup with the big projection sheet. justin and cEv on risers.

side note: big love to matthew for his crowd engagement and bubbly enthusiasm this entire tour. honestly he comes off as just a literal cinnamon roll of a guy and the tour diaries have been a real treat. at the end he reflected on otherness and a need to be kind to one another in an unkind world, which really oddly summed up my seattle adventure... and the general vibe of skinny puppy’s unique fans (as others have mentioned here far more eloquently).

also real talk does ogre do belly dancing or something BECAUSE jesus fucking christ man he makes my mind literally fucking blank with all that fluid gyration absolutely knuckle dragging cave woman looney toons wolf beating the shit out of itself with a hammer feral. he knows what he’s doing too, god bless him. there were gals behind me that just started SHRIEKING like it was beatlemania, fucking ogremania with every slutty little hip movement (”go daddy gooo”). also like... cock grabbing causing me irreparable brain damage. then he legit straight up purposefully spit/drooled and it was just... super hOrny NOT like... mouth trauma symptom salivation (I hope? oh god.) his spit makes me insane. ok.

this was the first time I had the pleasure of hearing god’s gift (maggot). we were graced with smothered hope at earlier shows... so I think I basically experienced everything الحمد لله رب العالمين screaming. they ended with candle again, huge plus. ogre practically pranced off the stage after the encore. everyone came back out together for a heartfelt round of goodbyes. no concerts have moved me like these puppy gigs. I am so thankful, down to the marrow. there are probably other details but I have slept ~two hours in the past 48 so...   ✌️👽

riverblossom hills update pt1

A teraz część, która nie zdążyła już ujrzeć światła dziennego, bo usunęłam tumblra ;) enjoy!

And now the part that didn't manage to see the light of day, because I deleted tumblr ;) enjoy!

as always, english is below!

Jako że Sandra była rodzinnym simem, to chciała kolejne dziecko i tak właśnie powstał Ezra, tak samo było z Irysem i Naomi, ale Irys to wymysł Róży i Józka, a Naomi to adoptowane dziecko Kleo i Szpadla, bo niestety Kleo już nie mogła zajść w ciążę ze względu na swój wiek, a Donald bardzo dziecko chciał. A Faye to dziecko Diany i Jana - właśnie tej rodziny, której nie zdążyłam wam pokazać we wcześniejszych postach. Na ten moment cała czwórka jest dorosła i wyszło tak, że Ezra jest z Faye, a Irys z Naomi.

Since Sandra was a family sim, she wanted another child and that's how Ezra was created, the same with Iris and Naomi, but Irys is the invention of Rose and Jason, and Naomi is the adopted child of Cleo and McGreggor, because unfortunately Cleo could no longer get pregnant due to her age, and Leod wanted a child very much. And Faye is the child of Diana and John - the very family I didn't manage to show you in earlier posts. At this point, all four are adults, and it worked out that Ezra is with Faye and Iris is with Naomi.

W międzyczasie Xander i Justin stali się nastolatkami i przyszedł czas na to, by iść na studia. Tam Xander poznał Natalię, a Justin zauważył, że Sara jest w jego typie ( i tu się chłopak mocno pomylił, ale o tym to za chwilę)

chociaż początkowo miałam taki plan, żeby Xander zdał studia do końca, a Justin jednak stwierdzi, że to nie dla niego, ale Klimek był na tyle uparty i miał chęci do nauki, że plan spalił na panewce.

although initially I had such a plan that Xander would pass his studies to the end, and Justin, however, will find that it is not for him, but Klimek was so stubborn and had the desire to study that the plan burned to the ground.

Meanwhile, Xander and Justin became teenagers and it was time to go to college. There Xander met Natalie, and Justin noticed that Sarah was his type ( and here the boy was badly mistaken, but about that in a moment)

Natalia pojawiła się w życiu Xandra dlatego, że po rozwodzie jego ojca i matki Morty wrócił do swojego domu, ale ciężko było mu się odkuć po kupieniu wszystkich potrzebnych mebli, a rachunki dostarczane codziennie nie ułatwiały zadania. Po dłuższym zastanowieniu postanowił wystawić ogłoszenie do gazety prowadzonej przez Patrycję, że szuka współlokatora i tak oto natknął się na Natalię - młodą panią detektyw.

Natalie came into Xander's life because after his father and mother divorced, Morty returned to his home, but he was having a hard time dusting himself off after buying all the furniture he needed, and the bills delivered daily didn't make the task any easier. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to put out an ad to a newspaper run by Patricia that he was looking for a roommate, and that's how he came across Natalie, a young detective.

Po skończonych studiach Xander i Justin wrócili do swoich domów, gdzie się oświadczyli swoim wybrankom.

Niestety w przypadku Justina zaręczyny poszły świetnie, ale ślub już nie koniecznie. Sara mimo, że bardzo kochała Justina, to jednak nie wyobrażała sobie życia w takiej wsi. Nie miała zamiaru zostać kurą domową, preferowała rozwijanie swoich umiejętności i ciągłą zabawę. Nie miała okazji przekazać Justinowi informacji o tym, że chce zerwać, bo tak długo z tym zwlekała. Aż w końcu nadszedł dzień ślubu. Sara niestety nie wytrzymała i podczas składania przysięgi zwiała tak szybko, jak Don Lothario z ołtarza podczas ślubu z Kasandrą.

Mimo zrządzenia losu Justin wierzył, że jest tam gdzieś daleko jego idealna wybranka, która nie porzuci go tak jak zrobiła to Sara.

Unfortunately, in Justin's case, the engagement went great, but the wedding didn't necessarily anymore. Although Sarah loved Justin very much, she couldn't imagine living in such a village. She had no intention of becoming a housewife, preferring to develop her skills and have fun all the time. She didn't have the opportunity to let Justin know that she wanted to break up because she had delayed it for so long. Until the wedding day finally came. Unfortunately, Sarah couldn't stand it, and while saying her vows, she waddled as fast as Don Lothario down the aisle during his wedding to Cassandra.

In spite of the misfortune, Justin believed that there was somewhere far away his ideal chosen one, who would not abandon him as Sarah had done.

Niestety w tej turze oprócz nieszczęścia Justina doszło też do zdrady. Mimo tego, że Sandra nie widziała świata poza Kastorem, to jednak gdzieś poczuła chwilę słabości i znów zaczęła flirtować z Kubą. A że Kuba nie był asertywny, to skończyło się na tym że Julka i Kastor ich przyłapali, a ani Noah ani Delilah nie byli zadowoleni z obrotu spraw. Sandra i Kuba rozstali się z Kastorem i Julką i uciekli razem. A karma to suka i zawsze wraca, to Sandra zachorowała jak wróciła z pracy, a że ja jej nie przypilnowałam to było jeszcze gorzej no i niestety umarła, a Kuba zaraz po niej bo też złapał zapalenie płuc i było po ptokach.

Unfortunately, in this round, in addition to Justin's unhappiness, there was also a betrayal. Despite the fact that Sandra did not see the world outside Castor, somewhere she felt a moment of weakness and started flirting with Jacob again. And since Jacob was not assertive, it ended with Julka and Kastor catching them, and neither Noah nor Delilah were happy with the turn of events. Sandra and Jacob parted ways with Castor and Jules and ran away together. And karma is a bitch and always comes back, Sandra got sick when she came back from work, and since I didn't watch her it was even worse and unfortunately she died, and Jacob right after her because he also caught pneumonia and it was over.

W następnej turze przyszedł czas na nowe pokolenie. Asia to córka Momo i Jaspera, Lewis jest synem Olivii i Williama, Vanessa jest córką Jacksona i Nicoli, Opal jest synem Morgana i Melisy, Saskia to córka Natalie i Xandra, Nabi jest córką Justina i Julki, Freddie i Levi to synowie Sary i Mateusza, Emily to córka Janki i Kastora, a Oleander to dziecko simorośl Stokrotki.

Plan na tą turę był taki, żeby jednak spiknąć Justina z Julką, bo mieli większą chemię niż Julka z Kubą, Sara zaliczyła wpadkę z Mateuszem, bo usłyszał, że Sara jest w KW i zdecydował się porzucić swoje dotychczasowe życie dla pierwszej miłości.

Co do Stokrotki i Elizy to nie wyszło im tak jakby Stokrotka tego oczekiwała. Po narodzinach Lupina Eliza miała za złe Stokrotce, że ta się pnie po szczeblach kariery, a Elizie się to niestety nie udaje. Potem pojawił się Oleander i dla Elizy to już było zbyt dużo. Nie przywykła do tego, że ktoś może być lepszy w czymś od niej. Eliza postanowiła, że to czas by zakończyć związek z Stokrotką.

In the next round, it was time for a new generation. Asia is the daughter of Momo and Jasper, Lewis is the son of Olivia and William, Vanessa is the daughter of Jackson and Nicola, Opal is the son of Morgan and Melissa, Saskia is the daughter of Natalie and Xander, Nabi is the daughter of Justin and Jules, Freddie and Levi are the sons of Sara and Matthew, Emily is the daughter of Jane and Castor, and Oleander is the plantsim child of Daisy.

The plan for this round, however, was to hook up Justin with Jules, because they had more chemistry than Jules had with Jacob, Sarah scored a slip-up with Matthew because he heard that Sarah was in RH and decided to abandon his current life for his first love.

As for Daisy and Elisa, it didn't work out for them as Daisy expected. After the birth of Lupin, Elisa resented Daisy for pushing herself up the career ladder, and unfortunately Elisa did not succeed. Then Oleander came along and for Elisa it was too much. She was not used to the fact that someone could be better at something than her. Elisa decided that it was time to end the relationship with Daisy.

Jeżeli chodzi o taką bardziej świeżą rozgrywkę to na ten moment wygląda to tak, że Momo i Jasper doczekali się jeszcze bliźniaków - Max i Mark, Noelle i Gemma to córki Noah i Delilah, Tonnie to córka Lupina i Eden, Maia jest córką Williama i Olivii, Victoria to dziecko Stokrotki i Lily - jej drugiej żony, Sage to córka Morgana i Melisy, Ava to córka Oleanda i Rene, Jim to syn Natalie i Xandra, a Hunter i Charlie to bliźniaki Faye i Ezry. Co do dzieci Irysa i Naomi to są w drodze, bo dopiero ją zaciążyłam i z tego co sprawdzałam to będą bliźniaki.

Tutaj możecie zobaczyć Sarę, Mateusza, Dianę, Jana, Lily, Jankę, Rene i Natalie.

Here you can see Sarah, Matthew, Diana, John, Lily, Jane, Rene and Natalie.

A tutaj mamy simów, którzy nie żyją; Andrzej nie żyje bo strzelił go piorun jak pielęgnował ogród podczas burzy, Baśka, Kaśka, Aleksandra, Róża, Stella, Maksym i Józek umarli ze starości.

Zapomniałam wam wspomnieć, że jak Stella się rozwiodła z Maksymem to zamieszkała z Aleksandrą i potem na starość postanowiły wziąć ślub. A Sandra i Kuba (bo jego zdjęcia zapomniałam oczywiście tutaj dodać) nie żyją ze względu na chorobę.

And here we have sims who are dead; Andrew is dead because he was shot by lightning as he tended the garden during a storm, Betty, Cathy, Alexandra, Rose, Stella, Morty and Jason died of old age.

I forgot to mention to you that when Stella divorced Morty she went to live with Alexandra and then they decided to get married in their old age. And Sandra and Jacob (because his picture I forgot to add here, of course) are dead due to illness.

myślę, że to na razie wszystko. gdybym o czymś zapomniała to zrobie po prostu następną część, ale nie wydaje mi się, żeby mi coś umknęło. jeżeli ktoś to faktycznie przeczyta do końca, to wiedzcie, że macie specjalne miejsce w moim serduszku.

i think that's all for now. if i forgot something i'll just do the next part, but i don't think i'll miss anything. if anyone actually reads it to the end, know that you have a special place in my heart ♡
