Pottery workshop | no cc

I really wanted to implement the idea of a glass roof, so it is present in the room with pottery wheels! in sunny weather, you can admire the rays of the sun, and at night you can watch the starry sky ... I won back a small business in this building, everything works great (and profitable, by the way), except for master classes. pottery wheels do not fall within the range of the marker board, so it can only be used for lectures.

очень хотелось воплотить идею со стеклянной крышей, поэтому в комнате с гончарными кругами она присутствует! в солнечную погоду можно полюбоваться лучами солнца, а ночью понаблюдать за звездным небом... отыграла в этой постройке малый бизнес, все работает замечательно (и прибыльно, кстати), кроме мастер-классов. гончарные круги не попадают в зону действия маркерной доски, поэтому с ее помощью можно проводить только лекции.

So the gif set of Homelander trying to surprise Stormfront got me thinking: in the same vein, what if you & Homie were in a secret relationship and while working at the tower he finds you and tells you he has a surprise for you…but unlike SF you get all giddy and go along with him, excited and touched that he wanted to surprise you with something sweet. Imagine his dumb little happy face when he sees how happy he made you. The sweet moment between you would then turn into something spicy as you thanked him for being romantic 🥵😈 that is all 😁

I love this!! you know even if she did come with him at first Stormfront would totally not appreciate the gesture as much as all of us would... just saying. But I love how much of a sap he is!!!! If he found someone who would genuinely love him and someone he would respect he'd be such a giddy, romantic cutie.

I totally wanted to write this because I need to see his gestures appreciated!!! However it turned out a little stiff - hopefully you still enjoy my humble attempt at recreating this beautiful image you painted!! (Also I focused on the romance of it so much the smut suddenly felt out of nowhere so have a smut-free fic from me for once, something I didn't think I was capable of 😂)

[Masterlist]

| 1.4k | Homelander x female!Reader | Established Relationship. Fluff.

This meeting couldn’t get any longer. You spend the entire hour taking notes, actually paying attention to what the Marketing team presents so you can implement any changes they request. That part is easy.

What’s not easy is the way you can constantly feel Homelander’s gaze on you, as if he’s undressing you with his eyes. And knowing him, that’s exactly what he’s been doing the entire meeting. Suddenly you’re glad for the matching set you chose to wear under your professional get-up.

Each day that you keep your relationship a secret he pushes the boundary, seeing how much you can take until you crack and just go public with him. Though it’s not as if he’s not been thoroughly enjoying this little secret affair you two have going on. 

Normally it’s a graze of his gloved hand down your side, or he places it on your lower back as he moves past you. Plus he always gives your waist a squeeze anytime he ‘innocently’ manages to get his hands on you. He’s waiting for someone to notice. Not that anyone would dare call him out on anything. So instead he keeps on toeing the line of what’s appropriate for coworkers to see and what would border on sexual harassment, with them not knowing your relationship history. 

You throw him back a few glances as if to say cut it out, but he just sends you a sly smirk. God, he’s insufferable. Strangely, a quality of his you vehemently love. 

The meeting finally concludes and the rest of the attendees slip out of the room. Now that you two are the last ones in he stands behind you, hands gliding up and down your sides. 

“Stop, you’re untucking my blouse.” It’s a weak complaint, your tone coloured with glee at just having his hands on you.

He leans his head forward nuzzling into the juncture of your neck, inhaling the scent of you. Tailored perfectly to his senses as it’s the same perfume he’s gifted you two weeks ago.

“Come with me, I’ve got a surprise for you.” He murmurs into your skin, the heat of his breath and the subtle vibration of his words makes your stomach flip. A surprise?

“Really? I love surprises!” You can’t stop the wide smile that spreads across your lips, pure delight filling you at the thought of him going out of his way to prepare a surprise for you.

“Good. You’re gonna love this one. Come.” He pulls away, instead wrapping his hand around your wrist so he can tug you behind him. As if you wouldn’t follow him anyway. Again, it’s just another one of his little ways to show everyone else a hint of his true claim on you.

Your office is on the same floor as the meeting room so your journey there is quick. He gently urges you in while having you face him and with a click he locks the door behind you both.

Before you even get a chance to say anything he pulls you in for a kiss. Both of his hands on your jaw, cradling you as close as he can. He kisses you like he’s been starving for it. With the way he whimpers into the kiss the one hour may as well have been a year. You’re no less enthusiastic but it always makes your knees weak at how eager he is to kiss you.

Just as you’re pulling away with a giggle, he captures your lips with a few more kisses, peppering them all over. 

“You’re crazy.”

“Mhm, crazy in love maybe.” Unable to resist the redness he kissed into your lips he leans in again. This kiss is less hungry, more focused on showcasing his love for you with a tender touch. 

“If this is the surprise, I am definitely not complaining.” 

“Charming. But not quite.” He gives your body a little spin, facing you towards the desk in your office.

You gasp at the sight of a bursting bouquet of rich red roses already propped up and arranged in a vase. “Oh my god!” Comes out of you in surprise and with a few steps you’re right in front of them eagerly inhaling the fresh scent. Your eyes immediately flicker back up to him. “Thank you, these are so gorgeous!” You’re so excited and overtaken by the sight of the gorgeous blooms you totally miss the little card embedded towards the back of the bouquet.

You pluck it out. Your finger smooths over the nice feel of the paper as you read the note.

The pre-printed text says With Love. But right underneath there’s an added note in a very recognizable handwriting. 

Happy one month anniversary. 

Homelander, xo

If you told anyone how much of a romantic sap Homelander could be, you’re sure they wouldn’t believe you. Yet nothing fills your heart with more fondness than the ways he shows his love for you. Your eyes turn a little glassy as you softly touch where he wrote his name.

Looking up at him you notice just how unlike himself he’s turned. He’s all boyish and bashful while you take in his gift. Clearly pleased it’s having such an effect on you.

You all but run back to him throwing your arms around his neck. “Thank you. That means a lot.”

“Anything for my girl.” He’s smiling just as brightly as you did before, preening at how good of a job he’s done at making you happy. 

“However, that’s not all.” He says with a mischievous raise of his eyebrows as he steps closer to your desk, retrieving a long sleek box from the first drawer. Clearly planted there by him for this exact moment.

“What? Oh no, you shouldn’t have!” You coo at the sweet gesture. He’s every bit the perfect Valentine’s ad and you’re eating it right up. You don’t care for the opulence he brings into your life, albeit it’s a very nice benefit, but you understand it’s the one way he knows how to show his love. So instead of protesting the costs you let him shower you in extravagant gifts. You’re sure at this point that the monetary value of said gifts easily exceeds your life savings. 

He passes you the luxurious box for you to open up and in the meanwhile already he’s pinching the fingertips of his gloves, pulling them off.

You crack the box open, your jaw dropping at the reveal of the bracelet he got for you. It’s not just ridiculously expensive, it’s also personalized. In a cursive font, the back of the gold plate is engraved. With love, Homelander. Just like the card. Part of you wonders which one came first.

Your jaw is still dropped as you sputter in surprise and awe, eyes flickering in between the gift and him. “I have no words. Wow. I mean—for one it’s beautiful!” You’re mesmerized by how the embedded diamonds on the front of the bracelet reflect the artificial light of your office. 

“I’m glad you like it. May I?” He asks but without waiting for an answer he plucks the bracelet from its cushion, discarding the box on your desk.

Nodding you put your arm out, pulling a little at your sleeve to expose your wrist better. With his bare hands he puts the two ends of the bracelet around your wrist. Clasping the dainty chain that holds the slim engraved plate together.

You stare at it in reverence but it’s not the glittering diamonds that have your attention. No. It’s the cold metal pressing against your wrist. His engraved name sits against your skin like a brand. Now you can carry him with you wherever you want. A physical reminder that you’re his. Right against your wrist. You don’t even realize what face you’re pulling. But from the way he’s looking back at you it’s gotta be a good one. The look on his face just tells you that he’d buy the entire store if it meant you’d crack a smile half as bright as the one you’re gracing him with now. 

You let out a stuttered little breath. “I love it. I love you.” You say with such honesty and rawness it catches him off guard. You’re the first person who’s ever been so genuine with their feelings towards him. There’s never been any hidden agenda. You’re not trying to butter him up just to get a favor out of him. You’re as genuine as it gets. A quality of yours he finds invaluable.

He brings your hand to his lips, pressing them against your soft skin. He places a second kiss right next to where the bracelet sits. 

No matter what he knows that for him you wear your heart on your sleeve and now his name on your wrist.

[quasi-normalcy]

The reason why new technologies don't turn out the way science fiction writers envision is because a lot of SF writers, particularly in the 20th century, instinctively defaulted to technological determinism, whereby technologies exist on their own merits and society is configured by them. They forgot that technologies are path-dependent, and that both their implementations and their effects on society are informed by preceding cultural trends.

The Sims 2: 20th anniversary - Gigantic Baby Costume Updated

This thing is cursed, you say? How dare you.

Since I learned how to add face morphs to meshes, I thought to myself “what better way to celebrate this anniversary than updating this classic, this piece of Sims 2 history, this iconic masterpiece by bootsbrisket?” Of course all credits go to them!

Download here: SFS / GD

Please read all the details under the cut if you want to download this!

Here’s all the changes for my version of this costume, which basically makes it so it’s actually, in fact, a real giant baby, not a costume anymore lol:

-I split this into two pieces: the body, found in fullbody outfits, and the head, found in the custom hairs section. This makes it so you’ll see the baby head on the pie menu, instead of the Sim’s head that’s wearing it underneath.

-Both pieces are available for all categories, unisex and ages range from young adult to elder.

-Added all face morphs using the original toddler face as a reference.

-Replaced the bones assignments on the body, this time using the toddler diaper outfit as a reference. Now they’ll look smoother.

-The body outfit replaces the original cc by bootsbrisket, so delete the original one if you have it. The head is a new piece of cc hair. You’ll probably find the head at the top of your custom unnatural hairs catalog, and the body buried (no pun intended) all the way at the bottom of the outfits catalog, right before the maxis clothing, due to how old the original one is.

If you want to see this thing in motion, here’s this video capture I took of them rapping while testing 🔥

Known issues:

-Due to how the Blender plugin works for the Sims 2, I haven’t been able to avoid making the head look bright in CAS. This is a sorta common issue that’s easily fixable using Milkshape3D, but again, I could only use Blender for the head mesh. Luckily, there’s Lazyduchess Overly Bright CAS fix, which I totally recommend you use to avoid this minor annoyance.

-While the eyes are fully animated and open and close as they should, the direction they look at won’t be animated. Haven’t figured out a way to implement that into a custom mesh yet.

-When the baby head opens their mouth, the nose’s Sim underneath might clip a little bit inside the mouth. Not very noticeable, but if you want to avoid this, you can make the Sim with an invisible skin like this one by MDP.

-This is something the original mesh had too: due to the size of the giant baby, there might be some clipping with itself in certain animations. Nothing too bad though I think.

And last but not least, some small tips to set up this Giant Baby character:

When the Sim wearing this goes to the shower, they’ll change into their naked adult bodies, which might look pretty creepy. Fortunately, there’s a way to make this outfit showerproof: the Never Nude trait and mod by Hexagonal Bypiramid! Change all the Sim’s outfits to the baby body, most importantly their swimwear, and place the Never Nude trait on their inventory.

Same goes for job outfits. If you want this Giant Baby to follow their dreams and pursue their professional career, they might change into something else when they go to work. For this I recommend the Job Outfit Stopinator by episims. Same as the other one, install the mod and place the object in the Sim’s inventory to prevent them from changing into job outfits.

And voila! You now have a fully functional Giant Baby Sim!

Want more screenshots of this majestic baby? Here ya go:

… Why am I taking this weird thing so seriously, you ask? Well, why wouldn’t I? I may be a little too perfectionist, even for stuff like this 🤓

Anyway, happy birthday Sims 2! 20 years and still going like a champ 🎉

God I love this game.

If you find any issues, please let me know! I have absolute Splatoon brainrot right now playing the Grand Festival 😬

CO2 Skills: Custom Skill Tokens

Published: 7-17-2024 | Updated: 2-1-2025

SUMMARY I use mods to make more diverse sims in terms of personality traits, body types, and lifetime wants. They’ve made my sims more complex and interesting to play overall. Still, the skill-building system feels limited alongside these mods. Being a decent pianist shouldn’t automatically make it easier to paint, spy, DJ, garden, become a career slacker, work as an architect, and play every other instrument in-game. Being clean certainly benefits barbers and pet owners, but shouldn’t they also be good at cutting hair and animal care?

By default, sims can develop at least 40 skills - 4 toddler skills, 7 basic skills, 4 hidden skills, 6 life skills (AL/FT), and 11 talent badges (OFB). This custom skills pack expands the existing skill-hobby system in Sims 2 in the following ways:

60+ new skills taken from other games in the simsverse (Sims 3, Sims 4, console titles, etc.)

100+ new skills related to university majors, career tracks, and popular mods from the simsverse

New skills are linked to certain objects, interactions, and career levels

All TS2 content creators are welcome to link these skills to your creations if they choose. These will be linked to some of my custom careers, majors, and objects in the future.

VERSION 2 UPDATES (REDOWNLOAD RECOMMENDED):

Revised the original post for clarity.

Sorted package files into subfolders based on primary skill group (body, logic, charisma, etc.).

Name Changes (same GUIDs): cosmic cuisine (0x000D324F, cooking) to gastromancy (supernatural/occult foods). country cooking (0x004EDA6E, cooking) to soul food (Afrodiaspora foods). selvadoradian culture (0x0084C734, logic) to memory. simology (0x0084C734, body) to psychology. traditional dance (0X00C87F1F, dance) to ritual dance. vampire lore (0x00680121, supernatural) to mythlore (supernatural history/folklore).

New skills added: animal care (0x00B7128A, cleaning), not to be confused with animal training (0x00002CEF, cleaning) or veterinarian (0x00891E5A, logic), choreography (0x00AD0E5B, dance), formal dance (0x0019579F, dance), and more!

DETAILS Basegame Compatible – but skill-related objects and mods may require expansions.

Skills are invisible tokens activated by certain interactions in-game.

Sims can’t develop the same skill twice and they can’t sell or gift them to others.

Skills do not appear in inventories or the UI.

Some repetitive and animal-specific skills were excluded.

These are TOKENS ONLY - custom objects, mods, majors and career tracks which use these skills will be published on this site under the #co2skills, #co2careers, and/or #co2edu  tags. Modders, feel free to implement these and if you do – please share! DOWNLOAD (choose one) from SFS | from MEGA SKILL GROUPS AT A GLANCE

BODY skill is already linked to tai chi and the restocking badge, but the skill is named differently across games (athleticism, fitness, health/sanity, etc.). Build physical and mental strengths for hunting, surfing, romance, street fighting, ballet, etc.

CHARISMA connects to the sales badge while a range of hobby-related interests fall under film and literature. Branch off and concentrate on related skill areas such as acting, deception, coaching, fame and more.

CLEANING skill is linked to three badges (cosmetology, gardening, and fishing) and enthusiasm for animals and the environment. Specialize in animal training, barbering, skin care, conservation and related skills.

COOKING skills open up new worlds of taste…time to make some magic in the kitchen! Skills include baking, soul food, gastromancy (occult foods!), mixology, alchemy and more.

CREATIVITY makes earning badges in flower arranging, pottery, and sewing easier. New artistic pursuits include advanced painting, jewelry making, storytelling, knitting, and street art.

DANCE skills such as dirty dancing, formal dancing, breakdancing, casual dancing, and more have been moved to their own folder.

LOGIC contributes to the register/cashiering badge and the hidden study/homework skill. Now, sims can master gemology, first aid, history, crypto-zoology and over a dozen other things. Sims will need to learn theory and technical skills to advance in certain majors/careers.

MECHANICAL sims can more easily earn a robotics badge and now, they can also unlock a host of new mechanical/tech-related pursuits – wood working, electrical, photography, fabrication, and so on.

SUPERNATURAL sims and those with supernatural abilities can enhance their craft by building a range of new skills. Try curse magic, reaping, earth bending, or flying! Other sims have limited access to these skill areas.

the QA on the SF route slips a lot compared to the rest of the game so thats probably the last route getting implemented in THL, god bless everyone working on the project. i hope the translators were paid by the hour. jesus christ.

Twenty One Pilots tees on Platsap's Mashed Potato tee

I was yapping on Discord about what I should make when one of the moots recommended band logos. Lots of bands use words in their logos (English = gross) but not Twenty One Pilots! Anyway, you don't care, so here's the actual info.

Five recolors, meshes included. Meshes are by @platinumaspiration and @deedee-sims (find them + more recolors here and here). TU-AU (and EF). The adult male file has been enabled for teens which is not ideal but I've never touched a mesh so this is what I have. The neck doesn't line up perfectly but it's not that noticeable. Not elder enabled because the body type is too different. The TF and EF files require the AF files (yep, your boy learned how to repository!). The colors are five of TOP's eras and their logos, the Vessel era, the Blurryface era, the Trench era, the Scaled & Icy era, and the most recent Clancy era. That shirt is definitely my favorite. All shirts are enabled for Everyday, Gym, PJs, and Maternity on adults. All of them are townified.

SFS - Simblr.cc - More previews and yapping under the cut!

I wanted ideas on CC I could make that wasn't insane, and someone recommended graphic tees. I wondered what I would put on one, and then I remembered this mesh here (meshes, really). I first envisioned those impossibly skin tight shirts you saw a lot in the 2000s (at least on Sims) but I like this much more. Was quite a bit of work trying to get these logos to behave with female curvature, not so much for males. I see why Maxis prioritized giving graphics tees to the latter, but I'm not letting some chest curves scare me away! You might notice that the black tees (Vessel, Blurryface, and Trench) are different shades of black. That's not an accident, I thought they'd look better in different shades. Anyway, more previews.

You'd think it'd be easier to find elder women in an Uberhood? That's what I get for implementing a trans system alongside the deadly elders mod. Big thanks to @whattheskell for the repository tutorial even though I had no idea what I was reading at first.

[dhaaruni]

im pretty sure the other anon's reference to "thinks black kids are too stupid to learn algebra" is about the thing where sf public schools stopped offering math classes in the name of promoting equity, which, ironically, is something that was almost entirely pushed for by leftists/progressives and something that matt y had been strongly against and had sounded the alarm about for years!! i find it so exasperating when people take all the worst ideas of leftists and attribute them to libs/centrists and it's especially infuriating when they do that for the ideas which actually do end up being implemented and causing chaos which anyone with half a brain could have (and did) predicted!!!

Yes that would make sense, and the whole thing is honestly insane. The idea that certain racial groups are somehow INCAPABLE of doing advanced math is virulently racist, way more so than letting kids take advanced math!!

I actually text banked for the San Francisco ballot prop that reversed the decision to ban kids from taking algebra in the 8th grade, and I'm so glad it passed, and with like 84% of the vote too because "equity measures" like that are just plain r-word (and I do not use that word ever).

[nalyra-dreaming]

hello! As i'm rewatching season 2 i can't help but to be a bit bitter about them using Louis' Suicide attempt here.They kind of ruined what could have been an horrible but important moment for Loustat to throw it at Loumand and close in a 2min scene.They took the importance of that moment for an Armand who didn't gaf about Louis almost killing himself.

Everything was just about himself''will i be on suicide watch...'' it's not a hate on Loumand,but I really don't understand the writers decisions for this??.

Most people have either forgot about Louis' attempt or are overlooking it.

While I personally don't mind it there being in SF it ... is a disappointing-to-me implementation of the Merrick arc, as said before (for example real short here).

The thing is, that Louis' suicide attempt (almost successful, too), is not "just" about Claudia. It is also about Lestat not being there anymore either. AND, in the books, he has to grapple with three main things afterwards:

Lestat asked him, and Louis accepted when he was turned - it was Louis' choice, something he has a hard time coming to terms with, given the consequences in both book and show. That time, after the attempt, Lestat could not ask (him, he does ask the others there), and therefore took the choice from him. In the show Armand makes Louis beg for the blood, which is also... not the same.

Afterwards (in the books) Louis is - like Lestat - truly immortal. Like, "cannot be killed" anymore. That is something he has to come to terms with as well. And he does so, with some implied difficulties.

Claudia's ghost - or the ghost pretending to be Claudia... Either way, he has to face the diary revelations and her ghost there and come to terms with her anger there as well.

These three points weigh heavily for me, as they are an important point in Louis' arc.

His coming to terms with all of these - accepting himself, his life, his history - has been severely shortened in the show.

I know why they did it.

It frees Louis up for the upcoming arcs. I get it.

But I think the way they did it did not make the importance as clear as it should have been.

Now, maybe they will introduce the ghost part still, for Lestat and Louis. Possible. Maybe they will introduce an event that will make Louis have that power-up that will catapult him within Lestat's range. Also possible. But I doubt there will be an event that will take the choice from him. I sincerely doubt that.

And the original Merrick ending forced Louis to take a long, hard look at himself and face his own story (literally even, in "Prince Lestat" he reads IWTV and comes to terms with his own story and memories) which then ushers in the new era - with Lestat.

And ... while I want them to find their own way, and to get there (of course ™) ... I am a bit apprehensive as to how they might do that, since they like to add things for shock value, as we know. -.- Given what canonically happens with Rhosh, too... mhh.

We'll see.

But I think they shortened Louis' character journey there - and they put it in an episode where, due to the (absolutely justified) DM focus there, the importance of it is overlooked.

Feyre isn't referred to as the High Lady of the Night Court. She’s simply presented as Rhysand's mate in the new book. Quite a surprise.

hi anon!!

*hofas spoilers* (vague ones - no specific plot points)

you know, although im not completely surprised at this (given sjm's track record), i am surprised by how blatantly sjm has disregarded feyre. like even if it was corny - i think sjm should have implemented girl power moment for feyre bc this kind of ridiculous. like if you're gonna pull a stunt like sf - you can at least empower feyre. idk - make some lore about her. like have mor watch the baby or fucking rhys and put feyre into some leathers and let her be the 21 year old warrior. let her lead the nc - let rhys take a backseat. literally feyre could have been the one helping bryce and having those conversations. the story could even joke about feyre being charge as a way to imply that rhys is still in the doghouse from silver flames. that would be a way to address the issue without having to address it. and although i think feyre should react much more fiercely to the violation - id take anything that even hinted that feyre got her lick back. i want to see feyre be high lady divorced from rhys. i want to see feyre making calls by herself. like it couldn't have been feyre, amren, az, and nesta? fuck - id take even mor. like we don't even SEE that girl anymore.

look - id rather read corny girl-power shit about feyre than rhys. id rather the story make up a bunch of titles for feyre than see her sidelined for rhys. i think feyre is a better character and i think the book should understand that.

imo the self-insert in acotar isn't feyre, its rhys. sjm always characterizes her favorite self-inserts in much of the same way. aelin, bryce, and rhysand all have the same personality. ive always felt that feyre operates in the same category as hunt and rowan; she is favored because of proximity to rhys. like even in the interviews - she rarely talks about feyre, and she literally always gushes about rhys. even the plot points for hofas are centered around....rhysand and his lineage. idk id take archerons are descended from the gods over this bull. throw a couple of retcons in then and boom you've got a sellable sjm plot point.

Today’s translation #855

Yuri!!! on Life, official guidebook, Programs

Anastasis

Emil Nekola, a very masculine gentleman representing Czech Republic, uses soundtrack from 'Anastasis', a SF movie about what will happen in near future, as his music for Free Skating program. The theme of this super-human program, in which four quads of three different types are included in total, is 'cyberpunk - I am not longer human'. At a time, when Emil was pondering about doing something new with his skating, a track that happened to play at the club, where he went to have some fun, caught his attention and he decided to implement it in his program. This rhythmical and dynamic sound is a marriage of techno and electric dance music, a genre that recently gained a lot of popularity. As the movie is a near-future science fiction, in the choreography, Emil included robot-like, straight-line movements. Another characteristic of this program are elements of bobbing, a style of dance that uses muscle contractions as the base for its movements, as well as the careful use of joints, when the body is relaxed. In the choreographic sequence, Emil shows us atypical outside and inside eagles, performed on bent knees. His choreography makes a very good use of mix of skating and dancing, and this makes this Free a very well-balanced program, which leaves a lasting impression on the viewer. On top of that, the composition is technically difficult, too - three of the four quads are performed one after another in the first half of the program. Because of that, it happens that Emil pops his triple jumps in the second half, however.

sirei and post game completion thoughts. hes... kind of an interesting character.

sirei's pirority is to ensure that shion launches the kamikaze missile attack no matter what. but the thought processes which support this are based on short sighted pragmatism backed by only the tiniest shred of morality.

sirei can be broken down into an order of pirority like this: the mission's success, shion, SDU's performance, SDU's well-being. the well-being part is like maybe 2% of the pie and success probably like 65%. idk.

he will use brainwashing and coercion and starving the kids just to get them to fight. the funniest connundrum to me is that the TRC and Sirei really shouldve just fed these clones the most military aligned of memories to get them to fight and not this 'love your nation enough to kys over it' memories

this is just. horribly inefficient. but seeing as how THL is drawing parallels to how capitalistic/nationalistic countries/japan feeds their young generation into the meat grinder, this whole approach of having a legacy of old families/power clinging onto their legitimacy tracks uncomfortably well.

its also canon that he legitimately does love shion to a degree that he will bend the rules so long as the core mission goes off ultimately on day 100. but its not enough to override him enough to want shion to survive, though im sure if the logistics allowed for it sirei would take this path no questions asked. shion even weaponizes this at points in the 2nd scenario, but its still not obvious that sirei even has a shred of morality there. every time he squeaks its only after he gets cornered, and even then he still manipulates and tells half truths to the sdu.

even in the rebellion route he only gives up after the SDU corners him into having no cards left to play.

the scraps can be found elsewhere though

in the casual route sirei begs for takumi to snap out of it after realizing his brainwashing has gone too horribly right to the point that his judgement alone isn't enough to tide them over day 100. so he seems to attempt to undo takumi's brainwashing but fails as ultimately takumi at best snaps out of it just in time to die. this timeline mostly is sirei fucking it up for himself.

a less obvious one is the way he just reluctantly accepts takumi's insistance to keep eito alive despite, from a pragmatic pov, its far more efficient to off traitors in a operation like this. or even brainwashing them so theres extra hands for the operation. but sirei doesnt do that, and at best he does it only in the CoA route after takumi brings it up.

sf route has the biggest tell of all. the motherest of tells. he along side nigou absolutely refuses to implement the rigor mortis code plan. he doesnt want the final student left to kamikaze themselves for the mission, which miiight imply he'd rather the final surviving student run and abandon the mission. and here despite coming back online to react to the students being on the pod and aborting the missiles, he only goes 'ira ira ira' (annoyed annoyed annoyed) in jp while admitting the scene of them all alive makes him happy emotional.

worth noting in that he doesnt rage at them for it. they survived and he doesnt threaten any sort of harm there. heck he doesnt even rage at takumi in sf despite takumi behaving exactly like a rebellious teenager at every point. hes mostly 'well, ugh, alright! fine! see if i care!', as if takumi also went through some self actualization here (which is likely the intention of the writing in sf).

im not saying sirei is a morally good character, far from it. that little shred of morality he's got at viewing these kids as actual kids under his care makes him infinitely more interesting than if he was just an android following protocols with 100% pragmatism

sirei is surprisingly human in some ways. often monstrous for sure which is why eito murders him half the time, but once the mission is removed from his pirorities i think he makes for something like a father figure under the right circumstances. maybe.

sirei is such a piece of shit lmao

Silhouette Figure In The Smoke

The smell of blood filled the flier’s cockpit as Phil coaxed it over the landscape, wings wobbling as they crested a hill. The machine was solar-powered and they’d stolen it off the field before it recharged, and with the cloud-covered sun going down now, he’d been getting emergency power - land immediately warnings blinking at him from the display for the last ten minutes. It was taking absolutely all of his concentration to keep the machine in the air, using the last gasps of the machine’s energy reserves to rise over obstacles and then glide down on the other side. “You doin’ okay there, Techno?” he managed, attention on the darkening landscape in front of him. There was an updraft over there, if he could just catch it and glide further-- they were so close to making it out. Or: AEduo is on the run. They just need to make it through the night. They just need to make it through the night.

And I wrote a fic for the Hurt/Comfort exchange— some emduo survival against the elements! This one pleases me greatly cause I included a bibliography of the medical stuff I researched for it. Mostly just stuff like the Mayo Clinic but I DID read one trauma research paper on induced hypothermia that was very interesting. Not saying I implemented it well but I DID do the reading.
