Wednesday, February 14, 2001

You’d never had a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day before. 

The thought made you oddly nervous. Not that Joel had given you anything to be nervous about, of course, but you were. Valentine’s Day had always just been another day for you. Sometimes Nan got you one of the little boxes of chocolates but, otherwise, it had never been something you had a reason to celebrate. You were just so used to ignoring it that, until Saturday, you hadn’t even thought about Valentine’s Day. 

You’d been in bed with Joel. It was late and your bodies were pressed close together, his skin on yours, your nose nuzzled into his throat, your head still a bit fuzzy from the orgasms. 

“How do you feel about goin’ to dinner Wednesday?” He asked softly, his fingers trailing over your side, lips in your hair. 

You frowned against him. 

“Doesn’t Sarah have practice?” 

“Canceled,” he said. “Besides, I was gonna get Tommy to take her, anyway. He’s already taking her for the night so we can have some privacy.” 

You frown deepened and you felt him chuckle against you. 

“Did you forget?” He asked. 

“No,” you said defensively. “I just… didn’t know there was something to forget.” 

He laughed a little again. 

“It’s Valentine’s Day baby,” he said. “Fully intend on takin’ full advantage of any holiday that lets me romance you.” 

Joel seemed to mean it. By Wednesday night, you didn’t know the details of what he was planning - you didn’t get to see him on Tuesdays, Sarah had Girl Scouts across town and your classes ran too late to see him before her meeting - but he’d sent flowers to your apartment the day before your date, timed when you were home for lunch between classes with a card that said he loved you and told you to be ready to go at 5:30 Wednesday night. 

You weren’t sure if you were doing your part in this right at all. You’d spent a good chunk of Sunday shopping and cursing yourself for not remembering freaking Valentine’s Day. It’s not like there weren’t heart shaped boxes of candy sitting out every time you went to the grocery store, it should have occurred to you. It just hadn’t even registered that it would apply to you now. 

You at least had an idea of what you wanted to get him and weren’t going in completely blind. You’d been keeping an eye out at thrift stores for vintage shirts from his favorite bands, never exactly hunting for them but always checking the men’s section when you went in to find something for yourself. You also had a picture from a trip to a museum of you, Joel and Sarah had made that you’d been keeping to give him at some point, wanting to frame it for him. 

It took a few hours - and stops at four different thrift stores - but you eventually found a Fleetwood Mac shirt that you thought was from the 70s and was wearing thin in a few places but you were sure he’d like it. You found the perfect frame, too, the wood cracking at the sides but you had a plan for that. 

You fixed the frame, coloring the glue forest green so it was like vines were growing on a tree and put the picture of the three of you in it. It was off center, you’d been holding the camera away from yourselves and hoping that you were all in the frame. You were looking at Sarah, she was looking at you and Joel had his perfect, crooked smile that made his cheek dimple and his eyes shine. 

You made brownies that afternoon, covering them in pink glaze and red heart sprinkles before piling them on a plate and sneaking a bite of one before getting ready. You took a curling iron to your hair and did your makeup and painted your nails red before slipping into a dress you’d found when shopping for Joel’s shirt, black and form fitting and you tried to not feel like an imposter as you tied the red ribbon around the half ponytail at the back of your head. 

There was a knock at your door and you took a last look at yourself in your bedroom mirror, breathing deep and trying to calm your thudding heart before you answered it. 

“Jesus, baby,” Joel said, a look of almost awe on his handsome face as you opened the door. “Should warn a man before you show up lookin’ like that…” 

“Is it too much?” You asked, looking down at yourself. “I can change…” 

“Don’t you dare,” he said, looping an arm around your waist and pulling you against him. “You look fuckin’ amazing.” 

You put your arms around his neck and kissed him, smiling against his mouth, before stepping back from him. He’d dressed up, too, in black jeans with a white button down shirt that he’d tucked in and worn with a belt. He even had on a tan blazer, one that looked almost too small for his broad shoulders.

“You look so good!” You were practically giddy, hands going over your mouth to keep from sounding too excited. Joel laughed a little. 

“Don’t know if it warrants that much of a reaction. But figured I’d at least try to look like I belonged out with someone as pretty as you,” he teased and you rolled your eyes. “C’mon, we don’t leave now we are in very real danger of not making it out of the house, you are too damn tempting.” 

Joel led you to his truck - which was almost shockingly clean, water from the car wash still dripping from his bumper - and opened the door for you, offering you his hand as you climbed in. 

“So,” you smiled as he started driving. “Where are we going?” 

“You’ll see,” he smiled back. “Believe it or not, had something cookin’ for a minute.” 

His hand found the inside of your knee, the callus of his thumb stroking the skin there. You tried to figure out where you were going as he drove but you were still caught totally off guard when he parked in front of a French restaurant you’d been dying to try. 

“Are you kidding me?” You gasped. “Joel!” 

He laughed and took your hand, kissing your  knuckles. 

“Know you’ve been wanting to try it,” he said. “Turns out a guy on my crew’s sister works here so I could wrangle a reservation…” 

“This is amazing!” You were practically giddy, going to open your door, but Joel stopped you. 

“Gotta let me try to be a gentleman,” he kissed your hand again. “Sit tight.” 

He got out and jogged around the front of the truck, opening your door and offering you his hand. 

“Why thank you sir,” you said, trying to sound aloof and dignified. You didn’t think you pulled it off, too busy smiling to make it convincing. He pulled you in close and pressed a kiss to your temple before putting his hand on the small of your back and guiding you into the restaurant. 

They sat you at a table in a secluded corner, a white tablecloth and the low glow of a candle setting the scene. The host handed you a menu in a leather book with a gold tassel on the end and you waited for him to leave the table before you mouthed “oh my god” at Joel, who smiled and laughed quietly across the table. 

The menu had was full of French foods you’d only dreamed of trying at a restaurant: coq au vin, confit de canard, gigot d’agneau. There was even boeuf bourguignon. But the prices made your eyes go wide, your newly-painted nails digging into the leather of the menu. 

“Don’t think I can get that beef you make,” Joel said absently, looking at the menu. “Not gonna measure up to yours, don’t care how good the restaurant is…” 

“Joel,” you whispered over your menu. He looked up from his, brows raised. “We really don’t need to eat here…” 

He frowned. 

“Not seein’ something you want?” He asked. “We can go somewhere else, might be hard to get a table but…” 

“No!” You shook your head quickly. “No, the food looks great but…” 

You bit your lip and trailed off and he watched you, waiting for you to finish. 

“But?” He asked eventually. 

“But this place is…” you lowered your voice. “This is expensive. We really don’t have to eat here just because I’ve talked about it, we can go anywhere, we can just order a pizza if you want, I really don’t need all this, this is…” 

“Baby,” he cut you off, a crooked smile on his face. “Don’t worry about the price. Been wanting to take you here since this place opened, set aside some money for it. Get whatever you want.” 

“But…” 

He set the menu down and crossed his arms over the table, leaning over it toward you. 

“You gonna let me spoil my girl for Valentine’s Day or are you gonna give me trouble?” He asked. You frowned a little, thumb toying with the corner of the menu. Joel tilted his head until you met his gaze. “I mean it, baby. Really want to do this. Please let me?” 

“OK,” you said, still uncertain and looking at the menu again, looking for the least expensive entree.

“Swear to god you order the cheapest thing, we’re comin’ back next week,” Joel said as though he read your mind. “You’d better get what you actually want.” 

“You drive a hard bargain,” you said, trying your best to ignore the price column on the menu.

You settled on the duck and Joel got the steak frites and, once the numbers were out of your head, you were able to relax more, savoring the wine and running your heel-clad foot over the inside of Joel’s leg from across the table. 

“You would’ve been makin’ fun of me last night, Baby,” he smiled, taking a sip of his wine. “Remember how I told you Sarah didn’t know what she wanted to bring to school for Valentine’s Day?” 

“Yeah,” you frowned. 

“Well,” he laughed. “She decided yesterday she wanted cupcakes. So we stopped by the store on the way home from scouts, got the themed cake mix, all that. But she really wanted to try and do it herself so I started out just supervisin’… ended up running the cake mix through the pasta strainer to get all the egg shells out of it, that girl was in rare form…” 

“Oh no!” You laughed, loud enough that the table close to you shot you a glare and you tried not to laugh harder when you quieted down. “How’d they turn out?” 

“Alright I think,” he said. “They were kinda lopsided but tasted fine. We split one this morning.” 

“You send her off to school with a sugar high?” You teased. 

“Not from half a cupcake,” he waved you off. “The little box of candy I caved and let her have this morning did that.” 

You giggled. 

“I’m sure her teacher appreciated that.” 

“I’m just hopin’ with the sweets from school it carried through to when Tommy picked her up from school,” he smirked a little. “Think I owe ‘em for loading her up with candy after Halloween last year, as if she didn’t have enough already…” 

The food was incredible, so good you had to set your fork down to focus on the flavor of the first bite, Joel smiling almost proudly from across the table. By the time you were done, you were two glasses of wine deep - Joel ordering a second for you before you could stop him - and he was holding your calf under the table, hand sliding over the muscle to cup your ankle, thumb massaging the tendon there. 

“You’ve been playin’ a dangerous game over there, baby,” he said, voice low. 

“You’re hot,” you said, almost shyly. “Can’t help it.” 

“Thinkin’ I should get you home,” he said. “Get you outta that dress.” 

“I’m thinking you’re right,” you said, heat settling low around your hips. 

Joel’s mouth was on you before you even got your front door closed, your arms around his neck and his hands on your ass, holding you tight to the front of him. 

“I,” you kissed him. “Got,” another kiss. “You.” Kiss. “Something.” 

“Really?” 

Another kiss as you nodded. 

“Didn’t need to do that, baby…” 

“Too bad,” you smiled, kissing him long and hard before pulling back from him. “I like doing stuff for you, too, you know.” 

You took his hands and led him to your bedroom, sitting him on the bed before handing him the box with the shirt and frame inside. He opened it almost reverently, a little smile pulling up at the corners of his lips as he did. 

“It’s not as good as what you did,” you said, sitting next to him, twisting your fingers around on themselves as he lifted the lid of the box. 

“Oh, baby,” he said softly, picking up the frame, his thumb tracing the parts you’d repaired. “This is perfect… when was this?” 

“Remember when Sarah and I were on Christmas break and we went to the natural history museum the day before New Year’s Eve?” You said. 

“That was a good day,” he smiled down at the picture before setting it on your nightstand and he laughed as he got out the shirt. “Where the hell’d you find this?” 

“I’ve been keeping an eye out,” you smiled. “It’s well loved but I did wash it already…” 

He cut you off with a kiss before you could finish, dropping the box and the shirt to the floor as he pulled you against him, his lips insistent and needy on yours. He quickly shrugged out of his jacket as you fumbled with the buttons on his shirt and he unzipped your dress. You got each other undressed quickly, his mouth on yours as he lay you below him, his large hand cupping your pussy before he slipped two fingers between your swollen, slick lips, tracing over your entrance before sliding up to tease your clit as he settled between your thighs. 

“Fuck, you’re wet,” he panted against you, pushing his fingers into your tight channel, just up to the first knuckle. “This all for me, baby?” 

You nodded and tried to pull him closer, to bring his body fully against your own, but he stayed just far enough away that you could feel the warmth of his skin but not the softness of him itself. You groaned and he smiled as he trailed kisses over your jaw to your throat. 

“Seems like you might want somethin’,” he teased a little. You just nodded. “Should say what you want, baby, so I know what to give you.” 

“You,” your fingers scrambled over his back, desperate to find some kind of leverage. “Want you, please Joel…” 

He kissed you gently but you could feel the hunger behind it. He needed you, too, you could feel it in him. 

“OK baby,” he said softly, lining himself up at your entrance, the swell of his cock just close enough to start to part your walls without pushing in. “Give you what you want…” 

He kissed you as he pressed into you, a moment of resistance before the thickness of his shaft entered you. You whimpered at the stretch of him, arching into his touch, your pussy already starting to tighten and flutter around him. 

“Oh fuck,” he groaned. “You already close?” 

You just nodded as he pushed deeper, his cock opening you to him until he was fully inside you, his head pressed firmly against the part of you that made you press your hips up against him and your fingers dig into his skin. You felt yourself pulse around him once before going even tighter as he moaned, his head dropping to your shoulder. 

“Goddamn you feel good,” he panted. “Not gonna last once you come baby, tellin’ you that right now…” 

“S’OK,” you clumsily rocked your hips up against his, desperate for that last little bit of friction you needed to push yourself over the edge. “Just… I need…” 

“I got you,” he said, pressing somehow deeper and making you whimper below him. “Give you just what you need. Take such good care of you, baby, promise I will.” 

He started slow but hard, the steady drag of his cock as he pulled back from you followed by the firm, heavy thrust of him as he fucked back into you. You matched his rhythm, moving your body in time with his, his skin warm on your own, his brown eyes warm and soft and deep on yours. You clung to him as his pace increased, your body getting tighter around him, orgasm building until your head was fuzzy and all you could feel was the desperate heat of pleasure deep inside you. 

“Want you to come for me, baby,” Joel panted, one arm slipping below your arched back. He tilted your hips ever so slightly, the angle adjusted just enough that he could press deeper, his hips against your clit, all of him hitting you just right. You gasped at the change, your arms latching onto him tighter, your hips stuttering against him. “Oh fuck, there you go, just come for me, that’s it, c’mon, just give in to it baby, just…” 

You cried out as you came, Joel holding you close and tight, his movements never slowing as he chased his own orgasm inside you, thrusting hard and deep until he pressed against the back wall of you as you throbbed over him, coming undone with a shaky groan. You felt him pulse inside of you, emptying himself deep until he went limp on top of you. He adjusted quickly as you caught your breath, rolling onto his back and taking you with him so you ended up sprawled on top of him, your nose nuzzled against his neck as he held you, his large palm gently tracing over your back. 

He pressed a kiss to your forehead and you hummed happily, whole body feeling soft and hazy as you just focused on his skin against yours. 

“You’re too good to me,” you sighed as you snuggled into him. You could feel him frown. 

“Why’d you say that?” 

“Because you are,” you kissed his neck. “You did way too much for me today, I can’t measure up.” 

“Hey,” he said quietly, pulling back from you just enough that he could look into your eyes. “Don’t say that, that ain’t true…” 

“Yes it is,” you said, running your fingers through his curls. “I loved it, I loved it so, so much. But it’s too much, I can’t do the same in return, I don’t deserve…” 

“Yes you do,” he cut you off, giving you a little squeeze. “Baby, you do so much for me just by existing near me, you realize that?” You looked at him skeptically but he didn’t give you a chance to argue. “I mean it. My life is so much better because of you. Never thought I could love someone the way I love you, you made me understand this kind of thing existed at all. You make me laugh more than anyone else I’ve ever met and you are so damn sweet. Plus you’re so smart, I could just sit and watch how your mind works all damn day and never get bored and the fact that you’d just let me… Not to mention how you take care of me and Sarah. Never thought I’d find a woman who could love my little girl like you do. You’ve given me everything and you do it every damn day. I just wanted to try and give you some of that back.” 

“Joel,” you said softly, tears burning at the corners of your eyes. 

“Never had a ton goin’ for me,” he said, smiling a little. “Always kinda figured I’d fucked my life up at some point but… I wouldn’t have Sarah or you without everything I did leading up to it. Makes me feel like I did something right to get the two of you in the end, you know?” 

“Yeah,” you nodded, kissing him softly. “I know.” 

He smiled his gentle, crooked smile at you and you just looked into his chocolate brown eyes for a moment before you sat up quickly, remembering. 

“I made you brownies!” You almost jumped out of bed and Joel laughed, catching your wrist as you untangled yourself from the sheets. 

“Wasn’t done with you yet,” he tugged you closer, kissing up the inside of your arm. 

“I’ll be right back,” you said. “Promise.” 

You went to the kitchen and put two of the brownies onto a small plate and got a large glass of water before going back to your bedroom, Joel sitting with his back propped against your headboard. You handed him the water before you climbed in bed with him, holding the plate out to him. He laughed a little. 

“These look amazing,” he said, picking up a brownie and taking a huge bite, groaning a little in pleasure as he did. “Taste amazing too,” he said, his mouth full. “You’d have been ashamed of those cupcakes…” 

“Next time Sarah has a baking project, just call me,” you said, taking a bite of your own brownie. “I take sex in payment for culinary lessons for the right client. Namely you.” 

He smiled, tugging you against him. 

“I’ll keep that in mind.” 

You snuggled in closer. 

“Think we should make these brownies a holiday tradition,” Joel said, finishing his and kissing your temple. “These are damn good.” 

“Plenty more where that came from, Miller,” you teased a little, sucking some of the pink frosting off your thumb. “You know, this was my first real Valentine’s Day.” 

“Yeah?” Joel asked, looking down at you as best he could as you stayed tucked against his side. “I do OK?” 

“You did amazing,” you smiled. “Ruined me for all other men.” 

“Good,” he said, settling back against the headboard. “Gonna need all other men to keep their hands off you, anyway.” 

You smiled a little at that, the idea of being his and he being yours. He nuzzled down into your hair, his lips pressing against the crown of your head. 

“Happy Valentine’s Day, baby,” he said quietly. “First of many.” 

Your smile grew. 

“Happy Valentine’s Day.”

= Love Notes =

Hey lovelies! Today's been amazing! Definitely been a lot of engagement and we're getting to celebrate our lovely captain! Soooo many people signed the 50th birthday Kudoboard that ended tonight ( and the Taika Kudoboard that ended yesterday). So many crewmates stepped out of their comfort zone and put themselves out there, and I just want to say how proud of you I am. I know it's hard to put yourself out there in case you can get hurt, but you still did it for the good of something / someone you love, and you should be proud of that! I hope you're getting some joy out of these days. I know it can be a bit of a double edged sword because we miss Stede and Ed and the whole Revenge crew so much. It's reminding a lot of folks of the gravy basket. Just a gentle reminder that things aren't over. Even if we're not fighting full force right now-- it's not over. It'll never be over. So many people are behind us, and so many other shows have gotten renewed later, sometimes years laters. I know you've heard it all before, but this isn't the end. If you feel up for it, take these days that are for celebrating, and even if you do it just with yourself, do something to celebrate the things and people you love. If you're feeling alone and have discord, feel free to join us on the #RhysDarbyFaction server tomorrow. We'll be doing a lot of group stuff to try and keep some of the love going. If you're not-- reach out to any of your crew. We're here, and we care and we want you all to be okay. Remember to lean on each other, you're all such kind, resilient, and wonderful people and kindness is what keeps this world moving in the right direction. Our crewmate @ourflagmeansfanfiction made a lovely picture that felt appropriate for tonight. You are strong, and beautiful, and we're all gonna get through this together. Night crew <3

Part 2 of cunty Williams Racing, a tired and shitty analysis by yours truly, Cake.

Today, we dive into our former Williams drivers.

And who better to start off with than Jenson Button himself? He's technically in the team as a Heritage Driver, and senior advisor regarding both the F1 race and Williams academy drivers, but we'll ignore that for the sake of this tumblr post ☺️

Jenson Button is just a cunty British man and this is not foreign knowledge. He coined the name Britney for Nico Rosberg due to his hyper sexual fixation on Britney Spears (or so I'm told 😀) and, let's be honest, there's not a lot of explanation needed here (I say after a whole paragraph).

Next, of course, Nico Rosberg himself.

My guy beat his teammate, albeit not in Williams, in equal machinery for the world championship and then dipped to be a girl dad. A Girl Dad. And he became a reporter. A F1 reporter. Cunty af in every picture too. Just can't deny this man.

You know who the other Nico to drive for Williams is? Nico Hülkenberg!

Also a girl dad, dyed his already blond hair to be platinum blond, HulKENberg, got one of the last pole positions for Williams after they hadn't had one in 5 years and then was dropped at the end of the year and he came back after a year. Sure, he is allergic to podiums but may I remind you that this man is a 24 Hours of Le Mans winner?

Next, everyone's favorite, George Russell. Should not be a surprise, really.

It's George Russell! What am I supposed to say? His doe eyes and now ungelled hair should be enough of a reason. And he's an absolute diva 🤍.

Now, what's more cunty than getting all the older men around your finger, Lance Stroll?

Lance Stroll has the hips to be the cunty princess he is, let's admit it. His first season he scores his first points in Canada and then gets third place in the race right after? And, as previously mentioned, he has all the middle aged men of the paddock in love with him. Fernando Alonso, Checo Pérez, Sebastian Vettel, the list goes on.

Ignoring team orders and getting a race win? That's some cunt level activities from Mark Webber!

Mark Webber will have a pilots license and manage to get 2 different cars to fly into the air 4 times. Yes 4 as twice was in a RedBull and twice in the Mercedes during the 1999 Le Mans. And then he looks absolutely hypnotized by his teammates and fellow drivers. It's the Australian in him.

A little break here to say, oh my fucking god there's so many drivers I can do. I can have Valtteri Bottas or Pastor Maldonaldo or Felipe Massa or Ralf Schumacher or Nicholas Latifi or like, anyone really. Anyways, let's continue ☺️

The man who sighed a picture of him after his team dropped him, Nyck de Vries.

Points your debut race and then getting pulled out the car like the princess you deserve to be, it's beautiful. And oh yeah, his name is Hendrik Johannes Nicasuis "Nyck" de Vries and I think that's very fitting. I hope he's enjoying Formula E because I'm going to buy into temptations and go to a race just to see my short princess 🤭.

Oh, you think I forgot the Queen herself, Susie Wolff? YOU ARE WRONG!!! 🥳🥳

I love Susie Wolff. Former Williams development driver and definitely could've been a great driver today if she was on the grid. And, she's president of the F1 Academy and defeated the FIA's little investigation probe which is funny because a lot of FIA executives have been quitting now soooo go Susie!!! Everyday I wonder how Toto Wolff got lucky to be her husband, the queen's husband ☺️

And let's end us off today with a picture of Lance's hips and one of the older men staring at it as if it's his property (probably is)

Beautiful.

At the end of the day, Williams fosters cunty drivers and team principal and it is my favorite thing ever. This isn't saying other teams don't possess any cunt energy, but Williams has a lot of it rooted in history and I am also sleep deprived and sick 🥳🥳🥳

the right shirt - joão félix (social media au)

joão félix x ronaldo!sister

request: Heyyy are you doing social media au's? Cause I'd love to request a João Félix x Ronaldo's sister. Maybe like that Ronaldo wants her to wear his shirt to the matches but then she starts dating João

Yess, ofc. I have a love hate relationship with Social Media Au's tbh. I really hate to read them but I'm slut for writing them. I'll probably make this in 2 party cuz you can only add 10 pictures per post. Also I'll probably just mainly use pictures of his real girlfriends cause she's stunninggggg and has quite a lot of pictures that fit well

relationships:

Avril - your cousin

Kika - your best friend

Mila, Beatriz, Francisco - your friends

Rodrigo - your friend, brother of Kika

part 2

[ur-friendly-nbhd-cardassian]

Hello there!

a little "about me" post

https://picrew.me/en/image_maker/1342558 + canva.com I'm a very long-winded person and when I like doing something, I like doing A LOT of it. I recently moved to Tumblr full-time after being stuck with 200-symbol posts on Twitter (ugh), so I'm using the full power of this blogging platform. I'm concerned about the AI, so it's all switched off on all my blogs. I hope Tumblr will wise up and survive, because I love it here so far 💛

I have a lot of fandoms, I like pretty art, I write and muse about stuff - it's all a huge mess if I put it one place. So that's why I decided to split my obsessions into several neat piles, so people could have an easier time decining whether to follow, ignore or block my stuff according to their preferences.

Here are my blogs which you're free to explore and follow as you like:

» ur-friendly-nbhd-cardassian

The main blog where I shout into nothingness. But where I also post lots of Star Trek, mainly about Cardassians (bc I love them). I do not do Garashir, tho, look for that particular bit elsewhere (not bc I don't ship them, but bc I'm severely overfed to the point of having an allergic rection). My focus Cardassian is Damar, followed by Dukat. I'm super open to reblogging your OCs, though. My other favorite fandoms you might come across on this blog (which I don't post enough about to make a separate blog): Mass Effect, Discworld, Tolkien, Detroit: Become Human, Apex Legends, Marvel/DC, Hunger Games. I also ramble, post about writing in general, reblog some fitting memes and pets/animals, share my own photography, reblog art etc.

» pixie-in-a-moonlantern

The initiated already know: Baldur's Gate 3 brainrot blog. I post my OC screenshots, maybe some stories, perhaps one day I will even finish a fic (started one, didn't finish). My all-time favorites are: Halsin, Gale, Rolan, Emperor. I do not have any VP tools, so my screens are only lightly edited to be prettier, and that's it. I do not draw or paint (tho I so want to). It's mainly reblogs and discussions so far, with my screenshots sprinkled in between.

» shaved-wampa

Diehard fans surely got the joke: Star Wars brainrot, and that goes for every conceivable piece of the fandom, even the bits you might not agree with - I don't discriminate. My all-time favorites are: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Bode Akuna. Yes, just the two, because I also have a huge pile of characters I love, but don't really focus on: Padmé, Ahsoka, Ventress, Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, Din Djarin, lil Grogu, Cody, infinite number of other Clones, ... soooo many. My top two are just the guys I actually write about. Bode is getting his fic right now, Obi-Wan's is on hold.

» cyber-vianne-77

As the name suggests, this is my Cyberpunk 2077 blog. I used to do a lot of virtual photography in that one - and yes, this time I mean real VP, though still no paid tools, just vanilla and free mods. I love Goro Takemura and ship my fem V with him heavily - wrote a dope fanfiction about them, too. I reblog other cp77 vp (especially of Goro) and fanart. I don't currently play the game or shoot photos, but I have a large collection I plan to drizzle over the next few months, until I maybe decide to go back to cp77 for a while again and finally play Phantom Liberty that's been waiting for me for a long time now xD.

» goodness-all-around

My "assorted dopeness" reblogs. I love pretty pictures and I love supporting artists in my own small way, so it'll be reblogs of general beautiful things I can't stuff into my other blogs, and reblogs of commission offers. Perhaps even some theory and discussion if I happen to like any.

I will update the list if I happen to change things or add/remove blogs. Thanks for your attention and see you in the activity notifs! 💛

Bits of trivia: I'm Czech, cis woman (bi & poly and, frankly, hyper), 32, in a relationship, mom to a 5yo boy, a writer struggling to finish and publish her first original novel, drowning her sorrows in fanfic instead :). I got to most of my fandoms quite late in life, because where I live this info only started to properly flow in with the coming of the internet. I'm usually a casual fan, though when I hit a gold vein I can get a bit obsessed. I love writing fanfiction, which is mostly why I'm here on this site. I self-insert a lot (therapy writing) and usually ship us, with the rare occasion of finding a couple where I can identify with one of them (or mold them to my image because I like or even fancy them). I've spent my life believing I was hetero and discovered I'm not only once I (finally) was in a hetero relationship and had a kid, so... my ships are also hetero. It's a habit, not hating, I don't discredit any gay ships (maybe quietly to myself when they don't make any sense to me character-wise, lol). My AO3 account: XindiChick I usually try to write even the most niche of my ships in a way that doesn't require much knowledge of the original, so you're welcome to browse and read to your heart's content if you happen to like my style. I welcome any interactions, especially comments, because I don't get many.

I think it's something everyone should always be aware of, but I've also seen many people ignoring this unsaid rule:

HATERS NEED NOT INTERACT

- lest they get blocked. I'm not here to argue with you about why I like certain characters and why you think I shouldn't. Go simp for your own top picks on your own blogs and leave me alone. Same goes for any of my personal trivia I shared.

Also:

DISCLAIMER: My blogs are a safe space for everyone who doesn't go around hating on everyone else. I will block indiscriminantly assholes of every shape, color, faith, gender, orientation etc., just as I will happily interact with good people of any kind. Idc what your deal is, I just wanna enjoy being on this platform, so if you plan to rain on it, don't expect me to indulge you.

Icons by: @rpschtuff

By the way, a fun fact known only to people aware of my main fanfic novel, The Casualty, the Cardassian in my username was actually born Bajoran, but raised Cardassian, which is why she's a Cardassian in heart and spirit. She's your friendly reminder that not all Cardies are the same and as a nation have the capacity to be much better than how they were presented in the DS9, which is what she's trying to achieve.

[zan0tix]

And it was nice to see you actually enjoyed a media ive enjoyed, I wanted to enjoyed it, but it was hard because ive hearing contants negatives about the fandom in social media (how ive feeling negatives that people dont like dirkjake) So hearing u enjoyed dirkjake make feel better that maybe i can enjoyed homestuck again, so thankies :0

PRO TIP FOR BEING A HOMESTUCK FAN: Log off twitter! 💕

Homestuck is soooo fun and enjoyable when you dont have a bitch in your ear telling you everything about it and all the characters that arent dave or karkst suck 24/7!!!! OFC READ IT CRITICALLY when homestuck is Bad its badbad but damn if homestuck isnt GOOD when its good. Its really fun to analyse and discuss the good parts theres so many interwoven pieces that all fit together somehow I LOVE IT.

I think the best way to enjoy is homestuck is to find friends! Ive had the most fun here by reaching out and befriending mutuals who like it as much as i do and sharing our ideas together. Ive literally muted all the annoying ship names and homestuck tags on twitter because its made my experience there so much more fun😭

If people dont have actual analysis or evidence from the comic behind what theyre saying IDGAF. I feel so much more at peace not listening to people lie at eachother about characters and then all congratulate eachother about “being right”

People shit on literally every ship there. And then everyone in the comments will agree with them LMAO ITS SO WEIRD. Personally i really enjoy having canon material to think about since like i said before theres so many moving parts its so interesting to see how they all come together with the bigger picture and greater themes!! So i love thinking about the canon relationships way more.

I think alot of fandom opinions come from prior experiences detached from canon content itself, the dirkjake yaoi apocalypse was real and i think made alot of people hate them😭 when in canon theyve got so much substance and are really important to act 6.

If you didnt get to have fun with homestuck because of fandom opinions id reccomend trying to read it again ^^! Its way more enjoyable appreciating all the artistry and complexities of the narrative for yourself than trying to fit the understandings of people who erm probably dont have sources to backup their claims about things. Theyre usually just saying things online to get interaction bait 😭

Thank you for the asks though!! I really appreciate it :D I hope anything i said was helpful or insightful LOL im so good at rambling about homestuck (insane)

[saetoru]

Tee im crying on the floor absolutely losing my mind over having a baby with Alhaitham, and him pulling out some photo albums of him as a baby. (maybe a mistake on his part bc you’ve now gotta see every one!)

and he was just so pudgy! a cute lil belly that made his shirts not fit properly, dimpled fists and chubby feet and there’s a bunch of photos of him chewing on his dads books or his mothers Akademiya cap 🥹 and he’s blushing at how you’re giggling and cooing at how adorable he was whilst you’re also rubbing the small bump on your tummy, saying you hope baby looks like their papa because he was so so cute! and Alhaitham just sighs and kisses your head, feeling bashful but grateful for living this life with you - saying he hopes the baby looks more like you because you’re cuter alsjhddjjdjf sobs

grAY LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING I AM WEEPING.

no because when you’re close to your delivery date, it starts to hit him y’know ?? that he’s going to have a family. the last time he had that was years ago, and it was just his grandmother. so he’s holding you on the couch, rubbing your bump as he murmurs about how proud his grandmother would be if she were here, how excited she’d be to see him entering fatherhood. and then he’d laugh, have that far away look in his eyes as he mentions how many pictures she used to take of him growing up.

but he makes the mistake of mumbling to himself, “im pretty sure the albums are still lying around in those boxes,” because then you’re pouting, tugging on his shirt and pleading to see them—and you’re his pregnant, adorable, sweet little wife so how could he say no?

he plops back down beside you on the couch with a sigh and a photo album dropped onto your lap moments later. and he was soooo cute—always had a thumb or a finger in his mouth as he stared at the camera with wide eyes. his cheeks are all round and chubby and a lil rosy, unlike the sharp jaw and cheekbones he has now. his lil nose is a tiny button, and it’s always a bit crinkled. there’s a picture of him with his mothers akademiya hat on his head when he’s a toddler—it’s too big and it’s sliding off, but in a way, it fits him so well. there’s a picture of him reading a book on the couch when he’s just a bit older, his tiny lil finger pointing at the words and following along. there’s a picture of him with lil pouty lips and watery eyes—and you giggle at that one, watch him blush and almost mimic the pout as he huffs about how all kids cry—even him! when you tease him.

and then you kiss his jaw, rub your swollen belly and mumble about how you hope your baby looks like him. how you want to recreate all those pictures with your own baby. how he was soooo cute and how that automatically means your baby will be just as cute, if not cuter.

and then his cheek rests on your head, his hands laying on your hand as it rests on your bump, and oh, he thinks, he’s really, really having a family. after all this time. it’s all his.

[tmvcreations]

Hey simmers!! I know its been awhile and im sorry. Life got in the way lol. Annnyyywaaayyy my sims prom sucked and felt like it all happened to quick, as a story teller i wanted the feeling they had to actually get ready for prom and take pictures together. Soooo i bring to you, Prom Night it has 16 group poses. 

10 of the poses are of teens getting ready for prom with the help of their parent.

2 of the poses are the sibling prom photo/siblings with their prom dates photo.

4 poses are of a prom date knocking on the door, giving the gift of a corsage, mother helping put corsage on while prom date shakes dad’s hand.

Since ive been learning to use accessories with poses plus with the nature of these poses this pack is very accessory heavy. I really hope that some of these poses help out whomever was looking for the same thing i was, also while posting this pack you dont necessarily have to use this for your sims prom! My poses are intended to help whomever may see them and think “i was looking for a pose just like that!”! So with that said ENJOY and thank you all for your kind support!!!!!

**For the corsage poses place the teleporter through the door. The other poses should be self explanatory(place 2 teleporters through chair). 

MANY THANKS TO THE CREATORS OF THE ACCESSORIES I USED.

Bob Floyd x F!Reader

Whumptober 2022: No.12 What Could Go Wrong?- "Mayday, mayday!”

Warnings: angst, no use of “y/n”

Word Count: 1.8k

A/N: Soooo this is my first Top Gun fic, and by extension my first Bob fic. I didn’t plan for my first fic for him to be an angsty one but it lined up so nicely with the Whumptober prompt. I picture this fitting into canon so things do work out fine I just don’t go into it in this fic. Anyway! Hope you enjoy and please take it easy on me as I get used to a new fandom/new characters lol

You had been on-edge from the second he told you about the mission. He knew that it was going to be hard to hear, but he also wasn’t going to try and hide things from you either, the downside of that is that he wasn’t going to water things down about his job. So he told you as much as he could. He told you what he could about the mission, he told you how insane the training exercises were going to be.

You knew his job was dangerous, no matter how much his buddies tried to make it seem like he had the dorky end of things. He was still up in those planes just like everybody else. If things went sideways, he was just as much at-risk as anyone else. You knew that. You’d known that from the second you met him all dressed up in his uniform. It was an unavoidable fact. But you could tell from the way that he talked about it that the stakes with this were different.

You’d been walking around with a knot in your gut for days. You had barely seen Bob because of how busy they’d been with training. You understood that, you knew the stakes were impossibly high. But it didn’t do anything to soothe the anxiety you’d been dealing with. It didn’t help that the few times you were able to talk to him, he seemed stressed out and nervous too. He told you about the push-ups, and you could only imagine the toll that was taking on everyone on top of everything else that was happening.

Your bed always felt empty whenever he wasn’t in it. You hadn’t expected to get so wrapped up in someone so fast, but it happened so naturally. If that hadn’t been the case, you wouldn’t have been up tossing and turning so many nights in a row as you worried about him.

Finally, though, you body gave into its own exhaustion. Even though your arm was dangling off the bed, and one leg was kicked out from underneath the blanket, you were still fast asleep. After a few nights in a row of only getting a few hours at a clip, your body was in heaven.

Your mind, however, was not.

Dreams and nightmares had never really been something you had to contend with as you got older. You hardly ever remembered your dreams or your nightmares. Sometimes you would remember them for a couple minutes after you woke, but then they’d be gone and you would just go about your day as usual.

If this was what your other nightmares felt like, you were glad that you never remembered them. It wasn’t even really about you. You were watching it all happen, but you weren’t really part of it. There was nothing you cold do about any of it, and that made it so much worse. You were stuck watching the horrendous scene play out in front of you with no power to stop it. It all looked so real, felt so real. The sound of Bob and Phoenix screaming for help that wouldn’t come rattled to your core.

“Mayday, mayday!” was still ringing in your head as you shot upright.

You were fighting to catch your breath, heart beating harshly against your ribcage. Tears stung at the edges of your eyes as you ran your hands over the top of your head, fingers raking along your scalp. Pulling your legs closer to you, you rested your head against your knees as you tried to talk yourself out of the meltdown that you were on the brink of.

It was just a nightmare. You weren’t a psychic. There was no reason to believe that anything your brain had conjured up was actually going to happen. But there was a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach that you just couldn’t shake. This nightmare wasn’t quickly fading away like all the others had in the past.

You reached over, grabbing your phone from where it was charging on your nightstand. You checked the time, and you knew that for anyone else, it would be an obnoxious time to call. But you also knew that Bob would be waking up to get start training relatively soon. You were tempted to wake him up a little before his alarm just to soothe your own frayed nerves. It was selfish, and you knew that you shouldn’t. You procrastinated by going back and rereading all of the texts that the two of you had been exchanging over the last few days. There weren’t many because of how busy he had been, but he always made a point to reach out and check in.

You looked back up at the time on your phone. You let out a sigh of relief, knowing that by now at least his alarm had gone off. He might’ve hit snooze, he might not be out of bed yet, but you weren’t going to be the first thing waking him up. You had that going for you.

Hitting the call button, you brought the phone up to your ear. It rang a few times and you thought you were about to go to voicemail when you heard Bob’s drowsy voice on the other end of the line.

“Hello?”

The relief that went through you just at the sound of his voice had you melting back down into your mattress, no longer pinned back anxiously against your headboard. “Hey.”

He hummed in recognition, letting you know that he clearly hadn’t been paying attention to the name that was flashing on his screen when he answered the phone. He probably figured that whoever was calling at such a ridiculously early hour had a good reason. Suddenly you felt a little silly for calling.

“Everything okay?” He was clearly biting back a yawn as he spoke.

You didn’t want to admit why you called, but you had never been a good liar, either. “Um. Yea. I just…I needed to hear your voice.”

He was still speaking quietly, but he was fully awake now. “What happened?”

The concern that you could hear in his voice made your tears start to reappear. You took a deep breath, shaking your head at yourself. “It’s stupid.”

He let out a tired chuckle. “I doubt that.” He paused, waiting for you to say something. When you didn’t, he repeated his question. “What happened? Talk to me.”

In the entire time that you’d known him, Bob had never said or done anything to make you feel self-conscious. You still found it difficult to tell him the reason behind your early-morning phone-call. He waited patiently. Finally, you just came out with it.

“I had a, uh, a nightmare.”

“Oh?” He hadn’t been expecting that. “About what?”

“Um. Y-you.”

“Me?”

You hesitated, feeling bad for even mentioning it now. “Yea. You…you and Phoenix.”

You could hear the small sigh that he let out. He wasn’t frustrated with you—that’s not what it was about. He just knew how stressed the whole ordeal was making you, and he felt bad. Part of him wished that he could take it back.

“I’m sorry,” he apologized, even though he had nothing to be sorry for.

“You don’t have to be,” you felt your bottom lip quivering, “You didn’t do anything wrong. I just, you know, I worry.”

“I know. But it’s all gonna be fine. Me and Phoenix, we know what we’re doing, right?” his usual lightness was starting to come back to his voice.

It got a smile out of you. “Yea, you know what you’re doing.”

“I mean, she at least knows what she’s doing. I’m along for the ride.”

The knot in your gut was slowly starting to loosen the more that you talked to him. Something about the ease with which he talked to you, the tiny hint of humor in his voice even at the absurd hour made you feel better. Remnants of the nightmare were still there, but they were at least being balanced out by what you were currently hearing now.

“You’re not half-bad either, so I’ve heard. I’ve got it on good authority that you’re actually pretty good at what you do.”

“Whose authority?”

“Phoenix’s,” you said with a tiny laugh.

“Guess I can’t argue that,” he chuckled. You could picture him rubbing his eyes, running his fingers through his hair as he tried to gear up to start getting ready for the day.

“Promise me you’ll be safe?”

He paused, but he still told you what you needed to hear. “I promise.”

You knew that there was only so much that he could do to ensure that, but even just hearing him say it made you feel better. You let out a quiet sigh of relief. “Thank you. I’m…I’m sorry for calling you so early.”

“I can think of worse ways to start my day.”

You smiled at that, picturing the little smirk on his face. “I’ll talk to you later?”

“Yes ma’am.”

You chuckled, always getting a kick out of it when he said that to you. “Alright. I’ll let you go.

“How about I give you a call when we wrap up with training today? I can come over for a bit?”

“Yea?” the hope in your voice was palpable.

“Yea.”

“I like the sound of that.”

You could hear the smile in his voice. “Good. I’ll call you later then.”

“Be safe,” you reminded him one more time.

“Always.”

When you hung up the phone, you felt so much better. You were still nervous—that wasn’t going to change until training and the mission were done and over with. But you felt a little more in control of your own thoughts and feelings just from the quick conversation with him over the phone. You trusted him. You trusted Phoenix. You trusted the two of them to look out for each other to the best of their ability. They were one of the most solid duos that someone could ask for. You tried to find comfort in that.

There was no going back to sleep for you after that, despite the fact that Bob had put you at ease. So instead, you slowly started to go about getting ready for your day, not caring how far ahead of schedule you were going to be. You took your time, replaying all of the things that he had just said to you. You focused on that as much as possible as you got to work and settled in. It was the most reassured that you’d felt about everything since the day he told you what he was getting called in for.

When your phone started buzzing on your desk later that afternoon, you didn’t think too much as you reached for it. Flipping it over to see who was calling, your heart dropped into your stomach when the called ID said it was the hospital. Your hand was trembling as you went to hit the accept button.

Hi Sir Routeriver, @tilin-forever here!

Hope you’re doing well after the events of the last couple days <3

I just wanted to double check about the policy of having your art in headers/profile pictures; I have the absolutely adorable art of Fit, Pac and Ramón as my header and I credited you in my bio. Is that okay with you?

I used your current name rather than the name that is on the art reblog (your old blog rip), but should I use both names?

Thank you for all the work you do, I love the way you draw Fit, Pac, Ramón, Richas, Mike, and all the other members of the QSMP family and although I fully expect art of QSMP to slowdown, I hope that you still want to draw them from time to time <3

Thank you so much for everything <3

hiiii!!!!!! i'm doing well i hope you do too :D i prefer to be credited as routeriver it may be slowed down but i'm not going away yet i still have soooo many ideas to draw ps. that drawing you're using i actually post another version it's an unfinished rendering i just posted it on this blog a couple days ago >_>

These Wicked Depths chapter 3 is up!

Babble under the cut

-I keep telling myself I need to stop apologizing for late chapters, but this took over a month @_@ I had to pull this one outta me like a tooth by the end of it, but I hope it's still a fun read. Thanks for waiting so long on this guys

-Sorry I really like the idea of Jamil getting kidnapped but finding that it's actually more chill than his usual life

-Oh yeah, Azul making it sound like the tweels were planning something awful last chapter? Absolutely intentional and out of spite. He and Jamil are not having the warmest of first impressions

-One thing I learned while researching the ships is that Galleons were Extremely wobbly cause of the rounded bottoms, so they rock back and forth a lot more than most other ships and were known to be hell for seasickness. So I figured, Jamil hasn't been at sea very many times, boats are still very much not his comfort zone, soooo RIP.

-I'm actually not tryna compare which culture has superior anything in this story, I just think it would be realistic for the time and circumstance for Jamil to start out with some inherent xenophobia, made a lot worse by spite over being kidnapped. So it's intended as a thing specific to his perspective. Same with thinking of and referring to everyone as monsters, since he grew up in a culture that's hostile towards mages and nonhumans.

-Jamil: "Everything about this captain is awful and tacky and disgusts me" *memorizes his outfit and thinks about it aggressively*

-Easy guess who the office belongs to, but yeah, he decorates like I used to as a kid

-Do not come at me about the era accuracy of the cutlery and etiquette. …Unless you can also link me to a detailed source, because that would actually help me out a lot lmao. I really wanted to have the tweels be confused about silverware both as a Little Mermaid reference and because it's endearing, and hoooooooly shit is it hard to find ANYTHING remotely precise about cutlery in that era. Like anything at all. Especially outside of England?? I was able to learn that modern fork use started in Italy and made its way to France, but I couldn't find a single thing about the etiquette around them. It was just endless ads for french or italian silverware. And I tried multiple browsers and search terms. The internet is more of a nightmare every time I use it. This isn't even about the story anymore I'm just ranting sorry…

-Also, I chose not to refresh on which utensil is for what when writing this. It felt more realistic to have Jamil potentially be wrong since he's rusty too, so if there's inaccuracies there it's intentional.

-Moving on. I'm picturing most humans being more hostile to other races in this time period, so there's way less information shared between them all. The result is Jamil being just as strange to the crew as they are to him, and everyone being curious and a little clueless about each other.

-Floyd: Bangs loudly on the door and waits to be allowed in. Jade: Knocks very politely and lets himself in without asking. Yes this is an analogy for their general behavior.

-Also Jamil: *Watches a swarm of monsters invade his ship* "Yeah, okay, I'll go with these guys." / *Ends up on a ship full of strange monsters* "How could this happen to me?"

-He's gonna choose violence with those hot peppers if he gets the chance

-idk where to fit it into the story, but Jade's thinking on the forks was that they came in different sizes so you could twist your hair into different sized curls (he's doing his best)

Ludwig x Maria always intrigued me. Do you have any ideas on their potential relationship?

Damn... This is a really cute ship ;-; I've been noticing that fandom, likewise, pointed out something fitting about them since the old fandom times xD And it feels so good for me? Whereas Gehrman and Laurence are 'dark' people, leaning on 'ends justify the means' side; Ludwig and Maria, on the contrary, are the knightly, honourable, 'bright' people believing in good and not having the full picture of what they're getting into!

🌙 They would both certainly love horse riding. Even have competition at such! The Cainhurst Knights (especially male ones) seemed to prefer horse-riding, and..... we all know Ludwig was a horse girl xd (source: dude trust me my aunt works at Fromsoft lol)

🌻 Maria would most likely take the lead in relationship. Although Ludwig would be surprised initially, but he would soon become HER horse-girl fdhshfd. Hell, Maria would be the one to plan the dates! AND she would be the one to provide Ludwig some adorable sessions of eating lumenweed/sunflowers past his beasthood xD

🌙 Unlike SOME people, Ludwig would be able to face the struggle Maria had to face upon Adeline giving herself to the research for the Eldrich Truth. More than that; he'd be able to comfort her, having faced the agenda himself. It could have given Maria more of a hope.

🌻 They ABSOLUTELY had friendly sparring sessions. Sorry, not I make the rules xD. Basically, a lot of their meetings feature kicking one another's ass until they can just laugh and forget all of it. They are both very battle-ready types! Training one another to be good at fight was the least they could do for one another!

🌙 They had MANY topics to be salty about; how Healing Church was getting things wrong, how chivalry mattered for the hunt, how Moon was a valid guidance for the hunters, how Laurence was kinda sketchy... You know those friendships when friends have many topics to vent about, but none of them quite drown out the quality of their friendship? That would be Ludwig and Maria!

🌻 Again, Maria would be the one to gift the flower bouquets in relationship. Luwdig would often be surprised by Maria taking up the role of uhhh, provider of romantic gestures in relationship. But he'd accept soon enough, and even think he could never asked for a better partner. Maria LOVES flowers, and Ludwig, with his ass obsessed with simply efficient weapons and nothing more, would learn to love her obsession with gardening!

🌙 They would both take their turns in crying and falling in despair as strong yet very sensitive warriors. They have all the resource to support each other at their hardest, and to encourage one another that the 'Stars and Moon' know the way. They are a weird combination of both having enough of their humanity intact AND enough of devotion to the exterior powers.

🌻 They would often get into the same silly jokes! They just get each other's cringe moments SOOOO much... At times, when they are separated, they think up of the jokes they will tell one another when they meet again!

🌙 Maria is 6'7'' (201 cm) tall, and Ludwig is 7'00 (213 cm) tall!! You could tell the height difference barely has any bearing on their relationship. They are both very tall!

🌻 I believe that Maria, well.... "died" before Laurence unleashed Executioners on Cainhurst. That'd send Ludwig into complete fanaticism over the 'Moon's guidance, believing the very act of following it alone could reunite him with Maria :( Regardless of her relationship status, that was what made him seek his ONLY source of confidenment in "Moon's Presence". Friendship or love, it didn't matter... There was only one power in the whole cosmos left capable of understanding his loss.

Hi, hello, it me, yeah I’m back. Before I get started talking about what I drop in for I just wanted to say, I absolutely love your art😍 every day I look forward to seeing your posts. You have change my POV on oc x cannon with Daggie. They are just so cute and silly I want to put them in a pancake. But anyways, your art has inspired me to make many twst oc of my own(and by many I mean 2 maybe three idk yet) but I only have a design for one of them

This is Grayson, he my baby and I love him. I’ve only drawn him a couple of times but idk where I put them 🤷🏻 whoops-

From this picture(it’s like two months old) his design has changed a bit. But still somewhat like that.

but what I came here to talk about is the super silly friendship he has with some characters👏

just to be clear these friendships I’m going to write out are still under development, lots of things are gonna change as I finalize his character!

Okay, to start off,

-Ruggie: they are like best friends, since they are in the same class they’ll study and work together. Grayson likes to randomly visit Savanaclaw and bring snacks and donuts and just food in general. I see them teasing the first years a lot(it’s a normal thing) and overall having a very wholesome bond.

-Floyd: somewhat the same with Ruggie but a bit more silly. Grayson and Floyd have been friends since childhood. They grew up in the same area and went to the same schools. But Grayson being a new addition to the group (Floyd, Jade, and azul) he was a bit overwhelming for them, except Floyd, they matched each others energy. If one of them did something bad so did the other.

-Epel: Epel is Grayson’s favorite first year and he makes that very clear to the others. So clear that Adeuce gets jealous. But Grayson took a liking to epel, 1) because Grayson likes small colorful things, and 2) Epel told him that he was having a had time fitting in, epel didnt really know how to act proper, or wear fancy clothes. But Grayson didn’t know so well either but having 4 sisters he had a few tricks he knew so he offered to help. And thus they became friends👏👏

okay last one

-Kailm: They are an equation for disaster. When Kailm is planing a party, Oh well, Grayson gonna make him take it a step further. “Hey Grayson what do ya think ‘bout the balloons?!”

“Hm, how about you take that ballon arch over there, get more of it, and line it all up along the path. Oh and we need some pyro effects!”

yeah that’s how it goes and them Jamil has to child lock EVERYTHING from both of them.

but anyways, Grayson still has some construction that needs to be finished. But yeah, he’s not my oc x cannon oc I’m still figuring that one out. But I hope you enjoyed listening to me ramble about my child. I will see you in the comments of your posts 🫡

bye bye!!!

AHHHHH HE'S SO SO SO SILLY I HAD A SMILE ON MY FACE THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS READING THIS...

First of all I'm so so happy you started liking oc x canon more because of my OCs, that makes me so happy to hear!! Especially bc I was exactly in your place and a dear friend of mine changed my mind with her own oc x canon; I'm so glad you like my art and my content, especially my babies daiggie<33 it warms my heart!!

Also, I love the little interactions Grayson has with everyone, especially bc I'm a huge Ruggie and Kalim fan!! Seeing him being silly with them is soooo cute and fun!! I look forward to seeing him more💙

[foxymoxynoona]

foxy.... i'm absolutely SICK to my stomach. the last chapter of MM.... i'm going to commit a capital crime. jungkook you immature little shit!!!! when sasha leaves you again because she gets tired of your shit, i won't defend you!!! he's absolutely punishing her for breaking up with him and i don't think this is going to end up okay like, it's really doing to blow up on his face and it will actually be his fault. i still think jimin and tae should've just told him straight up what they thought but i don't think he would've taken it seriously. for me, jungkook is the type of person that doesn't like to hear he's wrong. no one likes that but he's stubborn to the point that he can't see reason because it doesn't fit his narrative. i absolute hated him when he asked if she had seen dr. kim like boy ?????!!!!!! sasha might be emotionally stunt and closed off but she's way more mature than you and can be a reasonable person 😭

this time he fucked up and she was 100% right in asking him to choose another artist and the fact that his "friend" called her a bitch and he didn't care ???? i would hang him from a very tall building and watch him fall

sasha, my little snowstorm, i hope it will get better some time soon for her 😭 all my baby does is suffer because of the choices of men and i need to see my girl happy. yeah, she broke up with him but not because she didn't love him or because he did something but it was because of her own trauma. she really is a survivor but how much can she take? and she sounded so defeated on the voicemail and the call, "yeah, do whatever you want because if you don't get your way, i'm gonna lose you and you're going to resent me otherwise."

how much angst are we getting in the next few chapters? cause i know that naoko took a picture and she's absolutely going to do something petty and mean with it and i need to get emotionally ready for the fallout because i know sasha is going to blame herself somehow and jungkook, if he continues to ask like this, is just going to be watching around like it's not that big of a deal and do something what will hurt sasha. again.

anyway, even if it doesn't seem like it, i absolutely adored the new chapter. the story is so realistic when it comes to characterisation and relationships. like, it really feels like i'm reading about two real people. thank you for sharing your writing with us. have a good day or night 🩷

The "did you talk to your therapist about this" is one that haunts meeee when I've been asked that in real life. Isn't it funny how something that could be intended as an innocent question can actually cut so damn deep 😭

There are so many layers at play here, it's really fun for me seeing which things people dig into as the part that makes it "that bad" for them. Everyone is very mad about him not reacting to Sasha getting called a bitch though that seems pretty unanimous 🤣

The reaction to it all is soooo fun, I'm glad you enjoyed it even if it made you rage!

Poolside Splash Kit Overview - Fem Frame Items Ft. Lea Hahn

OKAY so here were are with YET ANOTHER KIT! 🙃 I adamantly don't like kits, we know this. However, I (begrudgingly) admit that I honestly do like some of these items. I still think this all could have been included in a game pack that would also give actual gameplay features! The Sims team could have taken this idea further and realized its potential - waterslides, more pool decor, additional outdoor games and activities, perhaps even a new skill? I feel like we haven't gotten pool-related stuff since like... Get Together? JFC that's insane! So many underdeveloped features in this game!

Ahem. Sorry! Anyway...

More thoughts under the cut ↓

We did desperately need more swimwear and a lot of the pieces are pretty versatile. Lots of mix-and-match options are never a bad thing. I liked the whimsical swatches (the ones with gnomes) but they just didn't fit Lea's aesthetic. I love the swim trunks, both styles, but I still think for five dollars they could have varied the styles more. I was hoping we would get at least one wetsuit like this:

We haven't gotten wetsuits outside of Island Living, and all of those are full-coverage. I have a few cc bathing suits with short sleeves and shorts and I love them. Something like this would be great for athletic sims, kids, toddlers, modest sims, and even fashion-forward sims. Swatches could be versatile to fit different personalities, and they would work for all ages, so not a lot of effort on behalf of the sims team as they could just use the same suit for both genders AND all ages... but I digress! I personally would have rather had this than the floaties outfit for adults, but that's just a personal preference. I guess the floatie outfit is cute, especially on kids, but I'm pretty limited with the adult sims - I don't have a lot of adult sims who would wear arm floaties and an innertube.

As for the plain colors of the swatches... those felt lacking. Very limited color palette to one pastel and soft aesthetic. Would have loved to just have some basic plain colors in addition to the pastels and patterns. The color-wheel fans will go wild and be frustrated with this I'm sure, and in this case... they're absolutely right. So frustrating to get great basic pieces that still feel limited because of the limited color palettes (I'm sorry Bella, there's no red swatch to be found for you in this kit. I hate it too!)

As for accessories: I'm not crazy about the two pairs of sunglasses. I like some of the swatches from the first pair I have pictured above (the top picture). Overall though, I think both sunglasses lack detail, especially the second ones I have pictured above (the bottom pic). I'm biased though, I never think the sims team does sunglasses well and I hardly use accessories that come with kits. (There is always something off with them - either the coloring looks far too flat/2D or they're positioned weirdly on the face. How do CC creators usually nail them, but the sims team almost never does?)

I didn't realize there were two pairs of shoes so I only have a picture of the slides (Lea is wearing them with the floatie suit). The sandals not pictured are fine though, nothing revolutionary compared to what we already have. The pool slides are nice and versatile though, and I feel they're not like anything we already have. The texture of the slides are really nice too, with a subtle logo and a decent variety of colors (still wish there were more basic swatches outside of the pastel aesthetic, but we did get a white and black pair so I won't complain too much more about that). I'll probably use them a lot alongside one or two other items that I felt had good reusability in this kit.

I give the Poolside Splash Kit 3/5 stars, mostly for the multitude of missed opportunities. I'm tired of kits. Why can't they include a lot of these CAS items in other packs? Some kits could be expanded on and give us soooo much more - it's just wasted energy in my opinion when we're really lacking gameplay. Where is the creativity? They just feel like underwhelming cash grabs to me, and there are so many kits that they're starting to add up in cost.

The items are good, the textures are pretty good (some stuff is wonky - like the mesh top swimsuit looks a little odd in some colors, and the sunglasses feel flat for instance) but there's nothing here that CC hasn't already done. There are many more maxis-match swimsuits with 3x as many swatches done by creators like Trillyke which are free... I think for $5.00 you get a decent amount of items, a few which are fairly versatile, but idk that I'd recommend anyone go out and buy this kit unless swimwear is like, really important to you.
