What would be the opening intro song if your story/current legacy gen was ever made into a TV show? 🤍

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself, and I

Didn't know I was lost

🐎

Maybe I got a little carried away. Lol. I thought the question was so good and I thought a lot about what Akemi's opening song would be. Until I found Wake me up and the lyrics are perfect.

We have two more generations after Akemi, but I'll save their songs for a future 😉

Also, thank you for the question ❤️🥹

Ps: Colten should have had dark hair, but since I didn't have the CP, I didn't notice and it stayed that way for a long time. Since I was going to take pictures, I changed the color.

[mobbu-min]

quick question, but where do you yall read the twst manga?

[merrymorningofmay]

I hope this is okay to ask; if not, I would really appreciate it if you could maybe point me in the right direction? I am currently dating a Ukrainian Jewish woman who immigrated to the US with her family about 20 years ago and has been recently reconnecting with her heritage. I do a lot of fiber/textile arts and crafts, and I was hoping to make her a gift that had Lviv regional embroidery patterns on it (this is where she is from.) Would this be an okay (not appropriative) thing to do, and if so, do you know any good resources I could use to learn more?

that sounds like a very sweet gift idea to me!

tbh i haven't done a lot of research into regional embroidery, but a quick googling did yield me some styles that are pretty distinct and verifiably come from lviv oblast: if you don't speak ukrainian, you may want to google сокальська вишивка (sokal region, northern lviv oblast), яворівська вишивка (yavoriv region, western lviv oblast). there's also городоцький шов (horodok region, central lviv oblast), which seems to be a whole technique? here's a youtube tutorial i found, it's in ukrainian but maybe the visuals can help (embroidering starts at around 4:00) + add схеми to your query to look for patterns specifically.

if anyone reading this can point to more specific sources like books/albums and such, please do!

Hey! BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD! Once you are given this award you’re supposed to paste it in the asks of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing happens, but it's sweet to know someone thinks you’re beautiful inside and out. 💕 :3

:,D

[the-maid-of-witchwood]

Gimme your favourite au ideas and who you'd throw into them (or like one au idea you like because you have like the neatest ideas)

Again, I’m gonna pull out a list of AUs I have previously written because I’m way too prepared for this.

Carrie AU 2.0

Has no relation to the first beyond being another play on Carrie. The whole thing takes place at the Starlight Theatre where Ruth ends up playing the lead in Cinderella’s Castle. Zoey, pissed and bitter about playing second fiddle to some dorky soprano, just decides to trash her opening night. Or the one where Zoey takes method acting as the Stepmother too far. (If you’ve seen CC, you’ll know what I’m hinting at). Ruth snaps and wipes out half of Hatchetfield before curtain call.

Also Lautity are here just flirting in the background the entire time. Like, they are the only survivors because they thought the other looked good in this hot all done up and left to make out.

Cinderella’s Castle

The one where Stephanie doesn’t have a good time. I’ve already spoken about it on here but it’s essentially the plot of CC but set in Hatchetfield, with some of the lore weaved in. Just for fun and angst. So you know she’s being dragged through that ringer.

Corpse Bride

Pete is Victor, Grace is Victoria, Steph is Emily. Need I say more?

Crossed Timelines

Having been killed by Max, Ruth and Richie wake up in some random location with Pete, Steph and Grace. But it’s not their Pete, Steph and Grace. It’s the ones from another universe where Max killed them three instead of Ruth and Richie. Basically everyone argues who had it worst and trauma bonds. Essentially reincarnation.

Dæmons (His Dark Materials)

Just shenanigans involving everyone having dæmons. That’s it. Mainly fluff and chaos.

Dirty Dudes Must Die

Written as a mock Nightmare Time episode. Essentially follows Steph discovering the guys at school being shitty to Grace, the school refusing to do anything, Grace getting kicked out of home for ‘sleeping around’ and subsequently her deciding to take revenge. Only things go horribly wrong and she ends up with four bodies on her hands. Fortunately the nerds who keep getting in the way are more than happy to help.

Hatchet Swung the Other Way

Gabe is the bully and everything changes. Not really. Essentially just a role swap: the cool kids are now the losers and vice versa, Gabe - Max, Grace - Steph, Steph - Pete, and so on and so forth. Potentially might take place at Abstinence Camp.

Heathers

When Richie said he hated Stephanie Lauter and wanted her dead, he didn’t mean it literally. Would be nice if Max knew that. Also it’s totally unfair that he has to put up with her annoying ghost instead of Max when it wasn’t even his fault she was stupid enough to drink drain cleaner in the first place—

Ride the Cyclone Tearjerker

Six teenagers die at Watcher World. However, Miss Holloway refuses to let Blinky torture all of them - so they reach a deal, she can bring one back to life. However, rather than pick herself, she leaves the decision to the teenagers. Aka, Ruth lets out her inner theatre kid for an hour and a bit; Steph and Richie attempt to kill each other a second time; Grace has a mental breakdown/crisis of faith in the corner; Pete is literally the only ‘normal’ one; and Max honestly doesn’t know why he’s here.

Sail Away to Canada

An alternative NPMD ending where they do actually sail away to Canada and get new identities. A lot more slice of life and silly scenarios of them trying to remain undercover… until Solomon drags them back to deal with the mess (Max’s ghost) they left behind. Only there’s one issue: Grace may or may not have lost the winning card of her chastity to Lautski and they might have to aggressively play Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who’s taking the bullet.

Something Fun, Something Tasty

Another alternative NPMD ending where Steph’s sacrifice isn’t the death of what she cherishes most, but they’re humanity. Pete and Grace struggle to adapt to their new life as… whatever the heck they are now. Monsters? Pets? Vessels? Steph just feels incredibly guilty; she’s also kinda the new Miss Holloway.

Take a Walk in My Shoes

Steph and Grace wake up in each other’s bodies in what they think is just a random nightmare. With the help of Pete, they slowly uncover that there’s something a lot more sinister going on at Abstinence Camp. And maybe a certain deal that was stuck between Mayor Lauter and the Jerries over a black book…

The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals

Essentially TGWDLM but Pete is Paul. And he has the unfortunate fate of losing one girlfriend to the apocalypse, while trying to escape with the other. This definitely isn’t something that’ll be used against him in the final act…

[mary-games-and-arts]

It can be anyones AU lmao. Do u know anyone with an AU that you like, or a mutual's AU?

Oh, in that case then..

LET IT BE HOLLOW ESCAPE AU BY @achlyisdumb

[mariapaulaaah]

@simscici muitissimo obrigada por me marcar, eu adorei hehehe

The view of the place was breathtaking, a cave forgotten by time, practically untouched. The lake was charming in itself and the breeze that would once have been compared to his kisses, now seemed like a breath of a cruel winter.

[…]

— Look how much you've grown… — That voice… it can't be…

[…]

She expected a fight, an argument, she prepared her heart to hear the harshest words from the mouth of the one she loved so much, but they never came. His strong arms pressed her against his muscular chest, bringing a sea of ​��questions and fears to her mind while her heart beat wildly inside her chest. Didn't he hate her? After so many years… everything he had done…

— I thought you were angry with me. — His voice was no louder than a whisper, words that would easily be lost in the wind, but his lips lifted in a corner of his mouth while his hands held her face as if he were touching a fragile crystal.

— If you haven't noticed, […], I love you more than you can imagine.

And then their lips meet in a longing kiss.

Tag time! @exodusims @changingplumbob @vladdysims @sharona-sims @thatsimreese and you! Don't be embarrassed about not doing it because you weren't tagged, feel free and have fun.

Translation below (PT-BR)

A vista do lugar era de tirar o folego, uma gruta esquecida pelo tempo, praticamente intocada. O lago era um charme por si só e a brisa que outrora seria comparada aos beijos dele, agora parecia um sopro de um inverno cruel.

[...]

— Olhe só o quanto você cresceu…

— Essa voz… não pode ser…

[...]

Ela esperava por uma briga, por discussões, preparou seu coração para ouvir as mais duras palavras da boca de quem tanto amava, porém, estas nunca vieram. Os braços fortes a apertaram contra o peitoral musculoso, trazendo um mar de perguntas e receios a mente enquanto o coração batia desenfreado dentro do peito. Ele não a odiava? Depois de tantos anos… tudo que fizera…

— Achei que estivesse com raiva de mim. — A voz não era mais alta que um sussurro, palavras que facilmente se perderiam ao vento, mas os lábios se ergueram num sorriso de canto enquanto as mãos seguravam seu rosto como se estivesse tocando um cristal frágil.

— Se não percebeu, […], eu te amo mais do que consegue imaginar.

E então seus lábios se encontram num beijo saudoso.

[gatoburr0]

I HATE how this turned out WITH A PASSION.

[merrymorningofmay]

You know, for years now since the war started I've had a thought...

I'm an American, I live in this little town of around 100 people, and I'll go out at night and enjoy the cool air... and I'll look up at the stars and think:

"If I were Ukrainian the russians might bomb me now for no reason. My town would mean nothing strategically, but how many towns like this in Ukraine were wiped off the map just for the sake of being cruel and killing Ukrainians?"

I think about how the war will never directly effect me all because I was born an ocean away from russia and not right next to them... that the only difference between me and a Ukrainian, the only mistake Ukrainians have made, is being unlucky and being born next to russia

...and it makes me sick that no matter how many times I say it no one here seems to get it. They don't listen when I point out that Ukraine is fighting for their freedom, something we claim to love, and they don't get it when I point out that helping Ukraine is in the US's best interest and gets us so much while sacrificing nothing

What you said though about how none of these people are going to feel what they're sowing till long after Ukrainians have suffered from it, you're right about that. It's bullshit, but... I don't know... after all the nights spent thinking the only reason there's no drone ready to destroy my house and kill my pets is cause I'm in the US and not Ukraine... yeah, you're sadly 100% right about all this

The whole situation is sick. I'm so furious at how badly biden did, we could have been sending proper amounts of aid... I mean the whole no using US weapons on russian iterator was getting people killed and they wouldn't listen... and because they failed to provide enough support now we've got the current monsters in there who are backstabbing Ukraine

I don't know that this ask has a damn bit of use. I'm just sorry that the west has been drenching our hands in blood for decades and it's only gotten worse

Slava Ukraini

hi there! i can relate to your thoughts. it took me a trip to warsaw (because i don't happen to have friends outside of ukraine) last year to really realise that even though the war is world-sized to me, there are actual physical people out there who don't live Like That, will likely never live Like That, and the only reason that they don't and i have to is just dumb luck. it's viscerally unfair and if there's any sense or moral to be made of it, i'm not there yet.

and yeah, the us aid situation was frustrating even at its best, and it's turned abysmal now, and i suppose the best you or i can do is not give into despair and passivity however tempting those might be. a ukrainian civilian's ideal method of coping with fear/anger/helplessness is donating to a military charity (a brainrot fee, so to speak). whatever means of constructive action (donations/rallies/calling reps/explaining things to people/etc) are available to you will be infinitely better than nothing. the rest will go the way it will go, but there is no way out of this that doesn't involve both your effort and mine, so let's do our best and see what comes of it.

heroyam slava!
