LBB PlatinumAspiration 4t2 SP02 Swim Mid Trunk

Was gonna include this in my GoS upload, but that was themed around old projects, and I whipped this up recently so I'm uploading it separately. Pretty straightforward stuff here: LBB version of @platinumaspiration 4t2 SP02 Swim Mid Trunk shared in the Dad's Pool Party upload. Comes in 5 of the 10 original colors (file names correspond). I hope this is the last time I convert swimwear for this body shape! Three options are more than enough for a niche mesh lol. Previous LBB swimsuits are here and here.

Compressorized and files are teeny tiny. No morphs on this. Credits to Syn for the shape, platasp for the 4t2 conversion and textures, and Lifa for WSOs. Let me know if you run into any issues!

"You do what I ask of you. Addisons don't ask questions; they merely do. Now do what you're told and get in that swimsuit. We're crunching time and need this photo shoot done by tomorrow. Hop to it!"

Several weeks ago, I dreamed about wearing a really uncomfortable green swimsuit and was forced to have photos taken of me in it. I thought the idea was so specific and strange that I had to include it in one of my stories. Well, I decided Theta gets to suffer!

This plays into some further lore-building I've been cooking that focuses on one of the antagonists, Nagela, and her complicated relationships with Spamton and Theta during the 1990s. I also decided to give him a new suit for fun. Who said he has to wear the same red suit all the time anyway?!

[[NOTE: This is a continuation of something I am working on for my AU, LoveLetter. Click on Nagela's name in the previous section to take you there. Everything is still WIP!]]

During a follow-up meeting, Nagela spoke to Spamton privately concerning his unusual nervous behavior at the fashion show. He insisted that he was merely on edge from the "excitement of it all" since it was the first fashion show he had ever attended. She subtly pressed him for why he looked at that girl the way he did when they passed by her. Spamton maintained his previous statement of "never meeting her before."

Nagela still had her suspicions. She didn't want to entertain the idea that Spamton would ever be interested in any woman besides herself, so she devised a plan to catch him off-guard. Several photo shoots were already scheduled for the sponsored clothing lines she was expanding the collection on, and this gave her the perfect opportunity to test him.

In every previous photo review, Spamton never showed any interest in the models, no matter how alluring or sensual. His face remained professional, impartial, and disinterested in the Addisons wearing the clothes he would choose to sponsor. If he liked one, he'd "poach" the design from her and have it labeled under G. SHARP, his own clothing brand.

Nagela chose Theta to wear one of the most revealing swimsuits of the DEEP BLUE swimsuit line, catered to an adult demographic with erotic tastes. She pitched the line to Spamton before, and though he was somewhat intrigued, he had not made any final decisions to sponsor it.

Theta was a modest woman. Though she was beautiful, as most Addison women are, she was not quite beautiful enough for most modeling gigs due to her short stature and the unusual "dead pixels" that made her face "defective." At first, her heart raced at the idea of modeling for the luxurious NAGELA SAX company and its namesake proprietor, but once Nagela revealed what she wanted her to wear, a wave of discomfort and fear consumed her.

"Surely, there is someone better for this one?" Theta uttered as she held it before her.

Nagela loomed over, finger jabbing into her chest. "You do what I ask of you. Addisons don't ask questions; they merely do. Now do what you're told and get in that swimsuit. We're crunching time and need this photo shoot done by tomorrow. Hop to it!"

Holding back tears, she retreated to the dressing room. The bathing suit revealed too much, and the fabric pulled in all the wrong places. Still, she went out as she was told and took part in the provocative photoshoot, having to constantly be reminded to smile and "look natural."

With all the necessary shots taken, Nagela told her, "Great. Hopefully, these will get him to sponsor DEEP BLUE." Theta didn't need to know the name to understand exactly who she was referring to.

Once she made it to the safety of her apartment, she stepped into the shower, turned the water up as hot as he could handle, and scrubbed herself with a loofa until her skin reddened from friction and heat. Her mind wandered as she stared at the streams of water trailing down her expressionless face, circling down the drain. She had wanted his eyes on her, but she never expected it to be like this! Complex emotions swirled within her, filling her with a sense of uncertainty and dread piled upon a small speck of something deeper... Warmer.

[[DURING THE NEXT MEETING WITH SPAMTON]]

Nagela mixed her photos in with the others for Spamton to see. She wanted to test his reaction. If the girl meant nothing to him, he would surely react the same way he did with the other models.

But he didn't.

Spamton's eyes widened, and the cigarette slacked in his mouth. The tips of his fingers twitched ever so slightly, causing the paper to tremble. The faint hint of pink colored his white face.

That was not the reaction Nagela wanted to see.

"What's the matter?" she asked. "Huh?" He laughed nervously. "Nothing's wrong!" "I know you, and something is definitely wrong." She smirked and smoked her cigarette, seemingly cool and composed as ever, but a burning jealousy festered inside her. "I wasn't expecting to see such a..." He waved his hand in a circular motion. "Provocative swimsuit?" He snapped his fingers. "That's it! Right, well, I wasn't expecting to see it mixed in with the rest of these. I'm admittedly taken off-guard." "I slipped it in as a surprise, just to see your reaction. It's part of the DEEP BLUE line you showed interest in. Does this help sway your decision?" She smirked. "Will you sponsor it now?" "Is that it?" Spamton laughed, his brows furrowed. He hummed and took a moment to think it over. "To be honest, no. It's too..." He fingered through the photos. "Racy for your tastes?" Nagela grinned. "Yes, and I, um, wasn't expecting you to pick her as a model. Didn't you say she doesn't have the right 'stuff' for that?" He chuckled and scratched his cheek. Nagela pushed her cigarette into an ash trash, her eyes boring into Spamton's face. "I figured. I know your tastes very well, Mr. Spamton. I picked her because her skin tone complements that color very well, perhaps even more than a Pink Addison's would. I could have modeled it myself, of course, for my skin is just as fair, but you know me—I could never wear something so erotic. It may be my product, but it's clearly not made for either me or you."

Spamton stared at the photos again, trying to keep his composure. Complicated feelings swelled inside him, many of which he fought not to indulge in. This girl disturbed him. Seeing her made his throat tight and sweat bead on his forehead, but another part of him was drawn to her gentle smile, deep, dark eyes, and soft... NO, not going there! He wanted to get away from this strange little woman. In all the places he'd been, there was no one like her, a White Addison, just like he used to be. They seemed to always inevitably cross paths, no matter where he went, even if she did not notice him. Seeing her made his stomach churn and his mind numb, but he couldn't afford to show this weakness to Nagela.

He didn't want anyone to know his mind was spiraling over his decision to accept the deal offered by that call...

The one he felt destined to take because he believed he was...

Alone.

[autogeneity]

are there like, bras or alternatives that are like, actually effective at moisture wicking rather than fucking absorbing all of it?

i.e. don't turn promptly into bags of water strapped directly to your chest the moment you start sweating

the "sports" bras I've tried don't seem very much better at this but idk if I'm looking in the right place

[civil-corps-wife]

I'm never gonna take this game seriously again.

I love the NPC swimwear DLC so much it hurts.

If I had to tell a model to wear this I think I would just die instead

From Chinese swimwear brand Balnaire

I was lazy so I just made a chill artwork with a tiny bit of shading.

Where to buy swimsuits that make you look like an ominous genderless entity

[floralovebot]

a petty pet peeve of mine is when artists redesign sirenix to be super cunty and lingerie-like cause like yes canon sirenix is boring but also the entire point of it is that it's the Curse of sirenix and it's supposed to be easy for them to physically Fight and swim in. so many of the redesigners want the cunty pretty mermaid look and i Get it but also please pay attention to mermaidix!! the look you want is there!! it's canon!!

and like no hate to the artists who do this, the redesigns are always super pretty. it just bugs me when people redesign something without considering why it looks the way it does in the first place. enchantix is literally proof that they can design pretty, elegant, and cunty transformations. it's not that they can't - it's that sirenix just wasn't supposed to be like that. and it's okay if people want it to be like that, but it's a Little annoying when people ignore the purpose and lore of sirenix so the redesign ends up being cunty swimwear with no other intention And ignore mermaidix the literal canon transformation that Is what people want sirenix to be.

I just want swimwear that stops somewhere on my thigh. Swimwear that is neither "more revealing than my actual under" nor ankle-length. I genuinely am so blisteringly furious about the near-universal cut of swimmers for adult women where they have simply decided that you must want a high cut. There's not even a boyleg option!! Like I'm not even asking for "swimmers that cover your butt" - I would settle for "swimmers that cover your pubic hair."

And this is all so much more frustrating because swimwear is the item of clothing where you MOST NEED SUN PROTECTION. I cannot think of anything that should be more obviously sun-safe than swimwear - you wear it mostly outside on sunny days, in water that helps wash off sunscreen - AND YET.

There are so many swimwear brands trying to market themselves as more functional, more inclusive, an option for everyone and they all still decided that they cannot possibly risk concealing one solitary millimetre of your thigh.

(this stuff DOES exist I know. But the difficulty & cost of getting it is very frustrating. If I was willing to wear men's swimmers this would cost me literally one tenth the price.)

[hewasmadeofthegalaxy]

Honestly, it's past time that we as a society actively appreciate cosplay swimsuits because they pretty much ALWAYS slap

I mean

Tell me I'm wrong. I DARE you

[therealjammy]

One of my friends invited me to come to the lake with her next week and I said yes, because I don't really go out or do any adventuring, really, and I totally ordered some tacky-ass swim shorts to go along with a plain black swim top

Will I be that person that maybe just hangs out on the boat, reading the entire time? Perhaps. Will I totally be that friend taking all the pictures and making sure they look good? You bet I will

I've been dieting, working out, just generally working on losing weight and becoming healthier and I've been able to have the discipline to keep up with it consistently and I'm very very proud of myself
