toilet paper party II a.russo x reader

some tooth rotting gf lessi fluff to try and cure all of our post game depression, with a dash of supportive best friend and arsenal icon lotte wubben-moy ofc

toilet paper party II a.russo x reader

"-she's going to blame herself again, it's like the world cup all over again." you sighed quietly to lotte who was sat beside you on the bench, both of you wincing as the ball was smacked away and saved as alessia kicked it, and unfortunately it of course had to be the deciding penalty.

"but she doesn't need to, she kept us in the game she-" lotte tried to justify but with a look from you she fell silent, nodding in agreement. the two of you knew alessia well enough to know that though she shouldn't blame herself, she already would be.

"come on, time to start damage control." lotte sighed tiredly, slinging an arm over your shoulder as the two of you joined the team for the thank you lap and clap.

as much as you wanted to rush right to your girlfriends side to comfort her, crushing defeat already plastered on her face, you knew she needed some time and space. you also knew that you needed to give the rest of the team the opportunity to build up their own relationships with the blonde, and consoling her after a loss though never pleasant was a way for bonds to strengthen.

sure enough katie and lia were quickly plastered tightly to alessia's sides, lia squeezing her shoulder comfortingly as katie was gripping onto the younger girls hands tightly as she talked at her.

you weren't close enough to hear what was being said but you'd known the irishwoman long enough to know she would be doing her very best to remind alessia of all that she achieved this game rather than the one thing she missed.

it made your heart soar to see one half of your life mold with the other so successfully.

both you and alessia had been incredibly nervous for how the team would take the two of you dating when she was signed, with only a handful of them you were the closest to knowing about it prior to the announcement of her signing.

however besides the relentless teasing and jokes about how obviously smitten you were with one another, it had been smooth sailing and your favorite blonde had been welcomed into the team with hugs, grins and open arms.

you'd both of course made a pact about how you'd interact and communicate with one another around the team in professional environments, this was your job and a workplace after all. though as said you were smitten with one another, so some days you were a little less strict about this than others.

it wasn't until you were all in the change rooms after the loss that you finally had the chance to be with alessia, a lot of the team and coaching staff having pulled her aside to try and build her back up. affirming she had nothing to feel bad over, keeping you feeling grateful that your second family had her best interests at heart.

even jonas had taken her one on one and provided some well intended feedback about ways she could approach things a little different next time, and reminded her firmly that penalties were the worst way to decide a game, she had nothing to be sorry or beat herself up for.

after all the majority of the girls, yourself and your girlfriend included, had played in the world cup just over a month ago. and without a pre season there was still a lot of work to be put in before you'd all be up and running as one cohesive unit, and now at least you had the time to focus on that if you had to draw one positive from all of this.

however the break of time in between the final whistle and the team huddle to now the change room debrief had given you and lotte some valuable time to brainstorm ways you could try to cheer the blonde up, and you almost had a plan in motion.

half the girls had already filed out of the room and headed for the bus, or were spending a little time talking to the dwindling group of fans waiting eagerly by the exit, you all had around forty minutes until you were scheduled to depart.

you didn't say anything as you sat beside your girlfriend on the bench by her locker, the striker clearly lost in her own thoughts as she jumped slightly when she felt your warm hand land gently on her knee.

still nothing needed to be said as your eyes softened and hers conveyed utter defeat and exhaustion, long blonde hair slightly damp from the quick shower she'd taken in an attempt to wash away the immense guilt wracking her body.

your lips curled into a half smile seeing she'd tugged on your travel hoodie, having stolen it out of your kit bag as you were side tracked whispering away in the halls outside with lotte.

your smile only widened when your girlfriend wordlessly dropped her travel shirt and hoodie in your lap for you to put on later, the blondes head coming to slump on your shoulder as her long arms wrapped lazily around your torso.

you grabbed one of her hands with yours, intertwining your fingers and lovingly brushing your thumb against her knuckles. your other hand rubbed circles into the small of her back and you felt her body heave a long and tired exhale as she crumpled into you.

"i'm really proud of you lessi, i hope you know that." you whispered to her quietly, sharing a small smile with katie and jen as they walked past the two of you, the older girls looking on somewhat proudly seeing your girlfriend curled into your side as you were obviously trying to comfort her.

though it also must have looked quite awkward given the striker was a good foot or two taller than you, and you knew if she stayed in this position for too long she'd be rewarded with a stiff neck and back tomorrow.

"my golden goal scoring girl." you mumbled sincerely, the blonde squeezing your intertwined hands in a silent thank you before pulling herself up. "have a quick shower and i'll meet you on the bus tesoro." the italian nodded behind her to the showers before pressing a short but sweet kiss to your lips, grabbing her belongings and heading out of the change room with lotte.

~

showered and changed you felt an immediate and immense sense of calm settle over you as you clutched at the red material and inhaled deeply, senses drowned in the comforting aroma of your girlfriend.

sweet notes of lavender and bergamont from her favorite body mist that was used every game day, as well as the more subtle hints of green apple and roses from her shampoo. due to your height difference your body was swallowed in your girls shirt and hoodie, but you never minded.

given that for the majority of your relationship you'd been doing distance in some way with playing for different clubs, only really having proper quality time in the off season or during national camps. the ease and comfort of stealing one anothers clothes had become tradition, and it felt like a warm hug from the taller girl anytime you wore something that you knew was hers.

noticing you were one of the last to leave you hurried to collect and pack your belongings, tripping over caitlin's boots she'd left behind you grabbed them with a roll of your eyes and headed out of the stadium.

you took a few quick pictures and flashed a pearly white smile with a soft thank you to the last few fans hanging around before ascending the steps of the bus.

you couldn't help but laugh quietly at the scenes before you. beth was as usual on her karaoke machine, clearly trying to up everyone's moods by belting out an incredibly tone deaf version of river deep mountain high as she danced her way up and down the aisles.

some of the team were clapping along in encouragement while others had headphones on and were tucked away in their own world, clearly reflecting on the match that had been and what it now meant for you all as a team.

though beth seemed to respect this and only engaged with those who seemed willing participants of her chaos.

"you'd forget your head if it wasn't attached to your body foordy." you teased the australian as you offered up her boots, the girls eyes widening as katie cackled beside her and she elbowed the irish woman before accepting the boots, stating over and over that she owed you one which you playfully affirmed you'd not forget.

the smile remained on your face as you spotted alessia halfway down the bus, sat in front of lotte and across from viccy and cloe. the striker was chatting away to the small group with a much more relaxed demeanor, small smile on her face as she seemed in decent spirits.

her features brightened as she noticed you making your way toward her, of course wearing her hoodie.

"i didn't know we were allowed to change our numbers y/l/n? 23 now are you?" viccy teased, instantly noticing you were wearing your girlfriends clothes as you flipped her off, shuffling past alessia and dropping down into the vacant window seat beside her.

"my favorite 23." alessia turned her head and murmured quietly with a smile, kissing your cheek fondly as she tugged your legs to drape over hers.

"whose wearing my missing shoes too it would seem." she shot you a knowing look as admittedly you might have previously lied about not knowing the whereabouts to the adidas trainers, which were a favorite pair of the blonde.

"good news, i found them!" you smiled innocently, head thumping back gently against the window as you turned your body more to the side to get comfortable.

a few more minutes of chatter among you all and everyone had boarded, beth finally ceasing her verbal abuse to your ears in the form of her singing, instead joining lia, gio, frida and lina in a heated game of blackjack.

the engine roaring to life the bus was to take you back to the hotel where you'd all pack and have dinner together before heading off to germany tonight on a late night flight.

"can i ask a stupid question?" you asked your girlfriend quietly once everyone else had settled and she nodded, her attention now focused back solely on you as she absentmindedly traced shapes on your bare legs which laid in her lap, goosebumps arising along your tanned skin at her gentle touch.

"how are you feeling baby?" you asked somewhat cautiously, knowing it was stupid considering the loss you'd all just taken. "can i get back to you on that a little bit later love?" alessia replied with a somewhat pained smile as you nodded reassuringly, a comfortable silence falling between the two of you as she offered you one of her airpods.

you both busied yourself making a shared playlist for the flight later tonight, already having chosen to sit next to one another as you'd opted to sit with other team mates on the flight to sweden, and given the late time of night you both knew you'd likely want to sleep during the journey.

you glanced down to your phone in your lap as lotte sent you an influx of messages, confirming everything seemed to be moving along well for your little plan to lift alessia's spirits even more.

you poked your head over the top of your seat and gave her a thumbs up when your girlfriend wasn't looking, and before you knew it the bus had pulled into the hotel.

you both took your time getting off, allowing those who were in a rush to hurry forth as you dawdled, chatting with lia as the older girl dropped down into the seat in front of the two of you.

but once you were finally all off and had grabbed your belongings, the plan begun to come into affect.

"hey russo! come play a few rounds of cards in our room." katie called from a few feet away once you strode into the hotel lobby, an offer which though was sincere, was also set up by you and lotte to give the two of you a little alone time.

"come on, i heard the united girls had some sort of a poker cult going. let's see what you're made of then!" the irish woman grinned teasingly at the striker who hesitated and glanced toward you by her side.

"go on baby, she needs the humbling." you encouraged softly, poking her sides as she nodded with a soft smile, kissing your cheek and hurrying off after katie who subtly gave you a thumbs up behind the strikers back before disappearing into the elevator.

"we'll do it in my room in case she comes to yours looking for you, katie just said she'll try to keep her occupied for about a half hour or so. then we have a few hours till dinner!" lotte recounted as you nodded along and the two of you headed up toward her and alessia's shared room.

again with it being both of your first away games you and your girlfriend had opted not to room with one another, again giving her the chance to bond a little more with the team and not flaunt your shared relationship in everyone's face.

"okay, operation toilet paper party is a go." "lots that is not the name we agreed upon." "maybe, but you have to admit operation cheer up lessi just doesn't have the same catchy ring to it." "whatever you say wubben-moy."

~

it was down to the wire but the two of you just managed to pull it off, giving a satisfied nod at your efforts as katie messaged to say alessia was on her way back to her room as you'd planned, jen informing her that you were doing some media before dinner to assure she didn't head to yours looking for you.

"ready?" lotte mouthed and you nodded as you both watched the light click from red to green as alessia swiped her card in the door, pushing it open.

"congratulations lessi!" you and lotte both yelled loudly with a cheer, alessia jumping and clutching at her chest in shock from the sudden unexpected fright.

though once the messy hastily cut up homemade confetti came raining down upon her, her face morphed into a slightly confused smile, which only widened seeing the rushed half hazard toilet paper hung around the room as makeshift streamers.

"what is all this?" alessia asked with a small laugh of surprise.

"it's a toil-" lotte started as you elbowed her sharply with a firm look. "it's for you. a congratulations you scored your first goal for arsenal and are currently the leading goal scorer of the team with two epic goals that kept us in the game party!" you rambled out in one breath.

"i tried telling her the name was too long, but we both know how stubborn she is." lotte sighed dramatically with an eye roll making alessia laugh. "hey!" you frowned in offence, shoving the taller bruntte lightly.

"but regardless, congratulations!" you and lotte gave another cheer, throwing your other handfuls of confetti though with yours was done with poor aim as it landed in the blondes face.

"sorry." you whispered with an apologetic wince, taking a step forward and plucking off a few stray pieces of confetti which had stuck to mouth.

"guys." alessia breathed out, biting her bottom lip as a few tears welled up in her bright baby blue eyes. "hey don't cry! this is a happy moment, something to celebrate. that second goal was a worldie less." lotte assured with a soft smile.

"yeah baby you crushed it. and its only our second game! the droughts been broken and the flood gates are open and you're going to be a goal scoring machine." you affirmed, lotte nodding along in eager agreement.

"a force to be reckoned with!" "the italian stallion." "the russonator!" "the golden boot goddess." "taking names and kicking goals!"

your girlfriend let out a half sob half laugh at the assortment of nicknames, reaching out to the both of you for a hug which you both gladly allowed her to pull you into, lotte rubbing her back as you kissed her cheek.

"you're both the best. thank you!" alessia smiled, clearly overwhelmed with emotion as you reached up to tenderly wipe away her tears with the sleeve of your hoodie, making lotte aww as you rolled your eyes.

"oh and we have snacks! because what toilet paper party doesn't have snacks." lotte remembered, gesturing to the somewhat strange assortment of food laid out on the coffee table.

"lotte that is not the name we agreed on!" you huffed with a frown at her words, alessia tugging you into her and kissing the side of your head affectionately with a quiet laugh, mumbling how much she loved you in your ear.

"we don't technically know what most of it is. stina sort of went door to door collecting for us from everyones mini bar, and she said they all taste good!" lotte shrugged, rubbing the back of her neck as you all surveyed the swedish treats in front of you.

"we have a couple hours before dinner to snack, we have pitch perfect loaded and we grabbed extra pillows from reception so we can be extra comfy." you explained, alessia crumbling internally at how much obvious thought and care had been put into this.

"correction she stole some extra pillows from reception." lotte teased as you stuck your tongue out and the girl excused herself to use the bathroom, encouraging you both settle in and begin the movie.

"well hi." you mumbled against alessia's lips with a laugh as the striker pulled you into a searing kiss the moment lotte closed the bathroom door. "babe!" you laughed again as she easily picked you up, wrapping your legs around her waist as she bear hugged you as tight as she possibly could.

"i love you so very much lessi baby, you're amazing. you know that right?" you cupped her face and pressed your forehead to hers, reaching out to gently swipe away a loose tear which carved its way down her cheek.

"i can't-baby i don't know what to say." alessia managed to stammer out, still overcome with a waterfall of emotions. "you don't have to say anything, i just want you to feel supported and appreciated. without you coming on and changing the game we wouldn't have even stood a chance yeah? you alessia mia teresa russo are brilliant."

"god i'm so fucking in love with you." the blonde breathed out, eyes burning with a loving passion, the taller girl admiring you as if it was the first time she'd ever laid eyes on you.

"aw i love you both too!" lotte clapped sarcastically, throwing a pillow at the two of you with a groan and collapsing onto the bed as alessia placed you back down on your feet.

the two of you soon joined her, opening some of the swedish snacks as lotte clicked play on the movie.

"cheers to a successful toilet paper party!" "lotte for the one hundreth time that is not what we agreed on calling it!" "hey i don't know amore mio it is the first toilet paper party i've ever been to but it seems successful." "alessia! don't encourage her, whose side are you on?" "best toilet paper party ever!" "i simply cannot stand either of you."

Station 118 Fire Department

Individual files: Station 118 Fire Department lot - Sim File Share | Custom content used in the lot, refer to this post here. Bulk Download: Station 118 Fire Department lot + 2 CCs created by me - Sim File Share

Station 118 is the go-to firehouse for extinguishing both flames and bad moods caused by overcooked hot dogs at your neighborhood BBQ. Equipped with a firepole that may or may not be a bit too slippery, the Station 118 team of dedicated, occasionally over-caffeinated firefighters is always ready to dash to the rescue - or to fix the oven after another cooking disaster.

Price: 146,637 Lot Size: 20x30 Lot Type: Fire station Store Content: None CC Used: Click here File Type: Package Min. Required Game Version: 1.42 Packs Needed: The Sims 3, Ambitions (tree, wallpaper, door and lot type)

Hello and welcome back to my blog!

I’ve been re-watching a few episodes of 9-1-1 lately and it reminded me that I have a few fire stations built a long time ago. Most of them are on larger lots but I wanted something smaller so recreated one of my old builds and keep it for Ambitions only.

Click on the ’Keep Reading’ below for more information and pictures on this lot.

I wanted to place a few fun/silly photographs of firefighters to lighten up some of the rooms so I made two custom paintings and these are the only CC included with this lot. These are not required and will be automatically replaced in the game but if you want to download them along with the lot, I’ve included a bulk download file option above. If you'd prefer to download just the CC, you can visit my WCIF Navigation page or go directly to the related post, as I’ve made a separate post for it here.

As a reminder, 📣 please note that if you choose the bulk download file option, the Station 118 Fire Department by PRS package file should be placed in your Library folder while the custom paintings (Behind the Hose Photographs and Firehouse Hotshots Photographs by PRS) should go in the Mods folder.

The Ambitions expansion pack is required due to the lot assignment/type and the build items used in the lot as stated in the Details section above. The lot includes all the required objects for the firefighter career including the sliding pole, fire truck and a few decorative items (firefighter's axe wall decoration and fireman’s coat wall sculpture), as well as a small gym and The Book Corral bookshelf to help increase athletic and handiness skills.

Due to the large space on the third floor, I’ve separated the sleeping rooms by gender and placed four beds in each room as I typically have fewer than 10 firefighters in a saved game. You can replace those with bunk beds instead if you need more sleeping space.

This lot has been play-tested and let me know if you experience any problems on your end!

Thirty Five Hundred Miles And A Lifetime To Go

Long hours on the road and in the skies, how will Dana Scully and Fox Mulder fill the silence? What silence?  A collection of road trip oneshots through their years together and the games they play..

The Modern Gateway Motel

After a traumatic experience, Mulder fabricated an X-file as a way to help Scully escape reality. Over the years, they returned to “investigate” that special place and take advantage of all it had to offer, exploring aspects of their relationship that they attempted to ignore in the real world. As time passed, it grew harder to confine the relationship they shared to that specific time and place.

Gradients

He didn’t want Scully in his bed so much as he wanted that last barrier gone. Sex seemed to be the demarcation for her, as she’d apparently decided that once that hurdle had been cleared, it would signal her complete surrender to him. As if she hadn’t already done that. As if he hadn’t with her a long time ago.

PLEASE feel free to leave your own additions (self promo explicitly welcomed) and I'll add them.

[avpdculture]

[Questioning] AVPD culture is feeling like you're constantly playing an interactive fiction game in real life. Every dialogue choice you choose is the wrong option- you can see it in the way the person's sprite contorts into discontent, their relationship bar dropping a few percent because you didn't say the right thing. You want to undo your option so bad, to go back and take back what you said, but the choice to do so is blocked by design. So screw it, you might as well delete your save file and start a new run. It doesn't matter if the relationship meter can easily replenished with a few happy conversations, it doesn't matter if you poured countless hours into this playthrough- none of it matters. What matters is that you messed up, so you're going to restart. It's hard to start from scratch- everyone's relationship bar starts at 0% again, and you're going to have to work even harder to recreate the situation you had before. But it's been too long; you don't remember exactly which dialogue options you chose last time, which ones are the right ones, which ones the other wants to hear, which ones will boost the relationship status (because it doesn't matter what you want to say, only what will make others happy because you're desperate to make them happy, desperate to make sure they're not upset with you). Eventually, you mess up again. You say the wrong thing, and everything you've worked so hard for crumbles in mere seconds. And god damn it, it's happening more and more now- so often you can't seem to get rid of it. You're always walking on eggshells, and the broken cracks are inherently inevitable. From every month to every week to every day, it's inescapable now, you're doomed to make them all hate you no matter what. You're always doing the wrong thing. It's you. And so you throw it all away again. And again. And again. And for fucks sake, what's the point anymore? You might as well quit the game at this point, because it's just making you miserable. You clearly can't get a good run- hell, you can't even do as much as complete one because you're so caught up in every little mistake. So you give up. You failed. You failed them, and you failed yourself. You are nothing but a failure.

(...please don't attack me for the amount of dashes I used. I don't even know if they're grammatically correct in this context, just that I like the way it flows. I doubt this portion is even necessary but I felt the need to include it.)

How to paste a tray sim from MCCC!

This is very long and I will hide under the cut to not eat up your dash space I did try to make a video instead but my screen capture kept stopping and though it was showing that it was recording me speak there was no sound so screenshots it is! Made by request for @mariapaulaaah and was originally going to send to their ask box but A.) figured a long ask may get me shadowbanned or something and B.) just maybe other people don't know how to do this either. I figured it out through trial and error though I'm sure there's a description on how to do this somewhere. Probably on deaderpool's website for mccc but I just had to figure it out the hard way lol

↑OK so when loading in to the map from the main menu you can kinda see here that my Spellcaster Minthe shows that she has her funky occult eyes

↑ But when I load in to play she doesn't *le sigh* NO WORRIES! Our trusty friend MCCC can help with that!

↑Open the MCCC menu and choose MC CAS then copy/paste↑

↑scroll all the way down to paste tray sim and choose one of the options. Because I made Minthe's household it's easier to find her under "only my sims"

↑Then just scroll until you find the family name you are looking for (They are shown in alphabetical order) and then the sim you want to paste.

↑I have found that you do have to have all the default options chosen for your sim to paste correctly. At least in my case anyway. Her eyes are not contacts/facepaint but if I choose only appearance it doesn't fix her eyes (You can probably have paste name unselected though it doesn't bother me because it doesn't change her name. I'll worry about that later if she ever gets married and her name changes)

↑Then VOILA!!!! Now she has her Occult eyes again! And I can go about my day until I close the game and have to rinse and repeat the next time I play this save file.

I have found that this works for Vampires, Mermaids, and Werewolves as well as regular human sims of course. In my personal saves Vamps don't have a dark form so it was easier for me to just give them one and place all their occult features on that way and force them to stay in their dark form permanently through mccc. I did try on an Alien but it tried to put all their alien features on their disguise but maybe if you have them take off their disguise first and then paste tray sim on them that wont happen. I personally haven't tried this part yet I probably should have but none of my Aliens have been affected *YET* and I just did a quick check to confirm whether it worked for them. Next time I'm in one of my alien houses to actually play I will check.

And that is it. It is a tedious process to have to do EVERY TIME you load your game up but it's a quick workaround for PC players at least. Now if only they could actually just fix this that would be great!

OH! and if you give the affected sim a new outfit, hairdo, ANYTHING make sure you save the family to the gallery with the new changes and delete the old one or you won't have that change when you have to paste the sim again

I used to get a lot of nose bleeds as a kid and even though I don’t get them anymore I can still remember how people used to freak out.

The way Sun and Moon would react is a little different from how Solaris and Lucien would react.

Solaris would gasp before franticly pulling a handkerchief from a pocket and holding it to your nose.

“Sit, sit, sit! What happened?! Are you alright!?” He’d fuss over you and kiss your forehead as he held your hair back and you let the bleeding stop and once it was all over he’d want to get you a treat.

If it were Sun and Moon:

Sun would freak! Hands waving franticly, he’d scramble to get the first aide kit as he babbles about how everything will be alright! It’ll all be okay!! Pulling the first aid kit free, everything goes flying out of it and by the time he’s finished franticly picking up everything and made it back to you, you’ve already got a paper towel held to your noise and have everything handled. In the end you’d have to comfort Sun.

For Moon I’ve actually written something alone the lines of what he would do. The bleeding is more from hitting the nose then from just a normal nose bleed but I feel the way be behaves here would be similar.

I cowered on the floor, hands clamped over my ears as Sun struggled and screamed, his shift over to Moon a painful one as Sun fought to prevent it. 

It took longer than I would have liked to kick myself to move. Sun's scream turned into a growl as I forced my legs underneath me and scrabbled at the floor to pull myself into a run. 

"You're up past your bedtime." 

I didn't chance a look as I ran for the closest play structure. Moon's voice was as raspy and creepy as it was in the game. There was a faint red glow behind me, then with an evil giggle, it was suddenly gone as Moon, presumably, using his cord to lift into the air. 

Dashing across the floor to the nearest play set, Moon dropped in front of me, and I had to skid to a stop and change directions. 

I could barely see the padded floor before me in the dark, so I didn't see the kiddie chair set to the side until I'd tripped over it. 

I was sent flying into one of the plastic walls of a play structure with a yelp. Smacking into it face first, pain rocketed up my nose accompanied by a metallic smell. 

This was pathetic. I was going to be caught, and I hadn't even made it into a structure. 

Slowly, I sat up, tears pricking at the corners of my eyes as pain radiated from my poor nose. 

A whimper left me as I lifted my hand to my nose and found that hot, sticky liquid was trickling down my face. Was that blood? Had I broken it? 

Then Moon landed next to me, and I panicked, scrambling away with a pathetic panicking noise. 

On my hands and knees, I dove for one of the tubes at ground level but got stuck, back hitting the top of the tube. I'd have to slide through on my stomach if I wanted to get any further, but I wasn't given the chance. 

"Stop. You'll hurt yourself more." 

Large hands easily halted my escape, snagging me around the middle and lifting me out of the tube and into the air. 

"N-NO!" I yelped, covering my nose and squeezing my eyes shut. 

Moon had caught me so easily. There'd been no chase; I'd just immediately put myself out of commission. Would he kill me now? Choke me to death like he did in some of the fan fictions I'd read? Maybe he'd take me to Vanny, and she'd kill me. 

Tears were pouring down my face now, body trembling, blood dripping into my hands from my throbbing nose, convinced that this would be my end. I'd lost the game so quickly, and there were no save files I could switch to. 

Carefully, the hands holding me set me down on the edge of the security desktop. 

My eyes flew open, and I looked up, confused and scared, into red eyes. With a soft, comforting noise, Moon carefully pulled my hands away from my face. I struggled, but the animatronic was much too strong. 

"Let me see what you've done," Moon murmured, his red eyes flicking over the tears and blood. 

A flash of blue light blinded me in the dark, leaving me squinting with an afterimage left in my eyes. 

"You didn't break it, but I'm sure it hurts." 

I was having a really hard time processing what was going on. Moon wasn't trying to kill me. Instead, he was caring for me as though I was a small child who had had a tumble. 

I did have a rather nasty tumble, but I wasn't a child. 

Though I am crying like one… and my nose really hurts. 

"I-if you're not going to hurt me, t-then why aren't you allowed to come out anymore?" I asked, voice muffled from my messed up nose. 

Moon just stared at me. That was probably not what he'd expected me to say in this situation. 

"Stay." He instructed before vanishing into the dark. 

He didn't answer my question. 

If Moon wasn't dangerous, why had Sun tried so hard to keep him contained? Or maybe switching between the two hurts, and that was all that was to it? But Sun seemed too nervous about the lights for that to be the only thing. I was missing something. Had something happened that made Faz co. forbid Moon from coming out with anyone in the daycare? That would explain the generators. But what had happened? 

Hugging myself, I trembled on the desktop, adrenaline still coursing through my body as I came down from my scare, blood dripping onto my knees as I let it flow, not wanting the hot red gross to flow down my throat. 

"Here." A paper towel was gently held to my nose, and I flinched, having not seen or heard Moon's approach. 

"Head down till the bleeding stops, then we'll use a cold pack on your nose for a bit to help with the swelling."

Holding the paper towel to my nose, I did as instructed and tilted my head down. Moon was standing just to the side of me, crouched slightly, his face plate level with my head, as he reached up to rub my back with one of his massive hands comfortingly. The stars on his puffy jester pants and the little nightcap on his head were glowing faintly in the dark. 

"Thanks…" I mumbled. 

Moon said nothing, continuing to watch me, hand still on my back. We sat there in silence until my nose stopped bleeding, then Moon brought me a cold pack to ease the swelling from my nose.

so a little update (?) after I'm done w midterms and deadlines this week, I'll try to go and curate the missing EAH website games that are yet to be properly archived + upload them to Flashpoint if all goes well

a little list below about how the state of all games are at this moment

So far these are the games that aren't playable yet:

Hat-Tastic Tea Party

Storybook Match

Enchanting Style

A Brush With Destiny

Spring Fairest

while not on this list, Dragon Dash has also been archived on Numuki.

While most of these games have snapshots in the Wayback Machine, I'm gonna use these as a last resource cause I have a harder time extracting files from the WaybackMachine (I'm still a noob at these game preservations thing ;_;)

If anyone has more experience w these sort of stuff, or even better has the full PLAYABLE HTML files of any of these games feel free reaching me out by DMs

update 26-09-24 : so! i found a website that managed to save 4 out of these 5 games (spring fairest, brush with destiny, enchanting style, storybook match)

HTTP's html is still yet to be found on a non wayback machine page.

unfortunately it's a russian site and i don't speak russian so... however it's still a step forward to be able to play these games <3 . With that being said, i'll still try to curate the english versions of these games as best as i can and post them to flashpoint. For now I haven't been able to find any flash games centric site that have any of these stored, but if anyone finds any leads lmk

gremlin mentioned mods for ori, but all the ones i could find were just either "make the game even harder for the ultimate challenge run" or "shader/graphics overhaul". so i looked for cheat codes, but the infinite double jump is only accessible on a 100% save file. finally i found smth about debug mode so i did that and there's an invincibility toggle.

further into that awful spike area it really does look like they expect me to have the dash ability already. how tho? i was railroaded here.

but man. even with invincibility the platforming is still frustrating. right now i'm in the ginso tree. had to put it down bc the controls were janking again and launching my bash attacks in the wrong directions. even so i'll take frustrating puzzle platforming over frustrating dying every two seconds and making no progress.

Today, I finished Mario Kart Wii.

This marks the 10th game in my Mario marathon. I'm a quarter of the way finished!

I wasn't sure if I was going to do more Mario Kart in this Marathon, but it's probably Mario's best spinoff, so why not do a few of them.

When I say I finished it, I mean, I unlocked all of the characters, except for Mii suit B, I think i'm good iwth just Mii suit A for now, and I got gold trophies in every cup on both 150CC and Mirror mode.

I never owned Mario Kart Wii. So I had no existing Save File. Even if I did, it would have been dead with my original Wii. So I had to start a new.

I know this is the fan favorite, it's the "Melee" of Mario Kart games if you will. But man... to me it's just a reminder of why I wasn't super big on Mario Kart until Mario Kart 8. This game is brutal. I'm only playing single player and I've never seen more blue shells and lightning SIMULTANEOUSLY as this game, not to mention how much people can slam you around, and that annoying pow block and thunder cloud power up. And on top of that, you drop your items if you get hit by something, there's very little in this game that doesn't cause you to drop your stuff. That seems like such bullshit to me, I don't think the games before this one did that? And I know 8 doesn't do that.

I also just don't care to think too much about vehicles or characters and just play my favorite character in the standard iconic car. But I Admit I had to use Funky on the Bowser Bike for the time trials. I hated it, I don't hate Funky, I've just never been a big fan, there's better Kongs and I think him being S tier in this game is probably why he even has a following to begin with.

I'm not going to unlock Mii Suit B. I don't really like extra difficult time trials and really just want to move on to other games.

I may sound like i'm bagging on this game a lot but I did have fun. I think if it was maybe a little less punishing I would probably come back to it often, because I can see how this was the game where modern Mario Kart started getting it's footing. It controls much better than 64 or Double Dash imo. I also think Automatic Drifting is a good setting. I can't recall if Mario Kart 8 has that as an option or not, I'm pretty good at drifting in that game so I wouldn't use it, but i'm not so big on it in Wii, and needed to turn it on when I was getting frustrated.

I am not sure which other Mario Karts I will do, I just know I won't do Super Circut. It's just way too slippery, it puts the SNES game to shame. I do know i'd like to not do SNES and N64 right away, because again, prioritizing games i've not played in a long time. Might also want to try a different spinoff.
