Smokey Town

Well, I decided to hop over to my other Victorian world for a bit. The last time I did this world, I called it Spinner's End. Sadly I lost all of the lots I did back then, during the death of my last computer. So I have to start over. Oh well.

Anyway, this is one of the commercial lots that @yourpicasso25 created for this world. I plan on using it for my business/journalism rabbithole.

Here's another view - from way back when. I don't think I'll bother with that roof addition this time, since I'm going for total grunge this time around.

This is an adjoining lot - the town's bistro. Their selling point for potential customers is "Well, at least our food won't kill you!" I need to grunge up that outdoor patio area a bit, since it looks way too clean here. I actually need to look for some grungy cobblestone terrain paints. The ones I have are all too "clean."

And this is the city workhouse where all those "evil" sims are sent to pay their debt to society. There are some rumors that they're still plying their nefarious trades, but that can't be right, since the building is owned by the super-respectable Landgraab family.

And here's a bird's-eye view of the place. To the left, is where the town orphanage is. It's pretty grim. No sense in spoiling brats whose parents died to get away from them. Good Victorian values!

And this is just one of the typical houses in this part of town.

As you can see, this is NOT at all like the other world I'm currently playing. But that's good, since I tend to have the attention span of a gnat, so by switching back and forth, I should have them both ready for a Victorian Christmas this year. Go, me!

Smokey needs more appreciation

WELCOME TO SPRUCECOLONY! the faithful and guarded.

the first of the three cat colonies in the sea calling. they live in a lush spruce forest with waterlogged meadows and mires. they believe themselves closest to stagcolony, as the ruins of the founding sisters are in their land. other colonies rumor the cold wind of the over-yonder mountains makes their hearts cold.

under the cut, listing of all members and a more in depth look at the highest ranked members!

top to bottom, left to right:

captain smokey spell, deputy spider blaze, sage plum spots, head-nurse grape tail, nurse wool belly, moon fall

wizened raven mask, kindler hoof stomp, kits wren belly & chickadee field, fickle field, adder strike, owl feather

minnow frost, sage-rookie snail swirl, deer skip, honey frost ( eventually changed to honey heart ), coyote bite, and fox bite.

-captain smokey spell is the wise, sentimental , yet troubled, leader of sprucecolony and has been for many years. quite unpopular among his peers for the scandal with the once leader of willowcolony, captain mist drizzle, which then led to the willowspruce war.

-spider blaze is the cold, ambitious, and ferocious deputy of sprucecolony. he succeeded umber blight, who died in the final conflict of the willowspruce war- the drop. despite the former deputy’s wishes for him not to succeed her, smokey spell chose him anyway as he was the most popular, pressured choice. his hatred for willowcolony knows no bounds.

-plum spots is the sage of sprucecolony. she is their emotional and spiritual guide, and is smokey spell’s most influential advisor. while compassionate and brilliant, she is also stubborn and lovelorn. she hates spider blaze vehemently; for work related reasons, and deeply personal ones she would never disclose.

-snail swirl is plum spots rookie, otherwise known as her apprentice. they are sweet, sensitive, and reclusive. they are also spider blaze’s son, and he tries to mold them into a fierce cat. he also disapproves of snail swirl choosing to be a sage deeply. they are very close to their mentor, but are a rock stuck in a hard place; the approval of their cold father, or the approval of their passionate mentor.

-raven mask is the wizened of sprucecolony. he is as old as smokey spell, and the willowspruce war seems to have aged the both cruelly. he is the captain’s second most important advisor, and his best friend since childhood. he is also plum spot’s loving uncle, and just wants the forest to be peaceful before he joins the stag’s above.

thank you for reading! these are only a few of the very important characters of the sea calling. i will be posting more, and willowcolony is next to be drawn! :)) spider blaze and snail swirl belong to my wonderful gf @meta-knight-is-bisexual!

Here is a picture of Otis in his office I stole from the internet. (I did try to look up Smokey but he was too buff. Too human in many of them, veered into uncanny valley at times.) Otis, meanwhile, is but a humble businessman investing in salmon stocks

it's always great to see Otis! thanks so much for your submission :]

top 5 on ly tear? 👀 solo songs included or not. whatever makes it harder for you

u just want to see me suffer dont u. and here i thought we were friends. but ill play along with ur sick and twisted charades i guess 🙄

NOT including solo songs bc its way too hard for me to place singularity. bc its magnificent and excellent and deserves top 5 easily but i dont actually listen to it that often cuz its a lil slow for me 😭 i mostly listen to it when i need smth calming or i fall sleep to it 😞 but one of the best songs for sure shes just in her own separate league in my brain yk

1) outro tear bc its like. the crown jewel of the album the namesake. and its got one of my favourite hobi verses of all time & every time i hear it my heart gets a new crack. u all get it. i just loooooove a song that sounds raw and angry and hurt i fear

2) the truth untold idk i just love her a lot they sound sooooo beautiful and story is beautiful too and also fucking SAD . simple but the “but i still want you” lines always get my ass 😞 maybe ill post jungkooks adlibs tomorrow bc they haunt me (complimentary)

3) 134340 one of my faves in terms of songs i listen to the most. so good and also the pluto concept is SOOOOOO smart n unique im obsessed. nothing else needs to be said everyone knows shes that bitch

4) love maze. another fave that i listen to a lot and also i love namjoons verse. but i dont wanna use my head i dont wanna calculate love aint a BUSINESS rather like a FITNESS! 😤↕️ real shit he just said

5) paradise ranked this high less bc of the sound and more bc of the lyrics cuz its like. one of the bts songs that personally speaks to me the most 😭 like ofc i like the sound too but the lyrics pushes it from mid tier to top tier for me yk….“we have to run we have to step on the accelerator you dont even have a destination” like howd they get in my head

24, 25 and 29 for the writer ask game? 💜

24. how do you recharge when you’re not feeling creative?

oooh this is big one for me lately, because life has me burnt OUT. my usual go-tos are being patient with myself, practicing some simple, lowkey self care( like tea, face masks, a nice walk outside), and eventually slowly progressing to some creative exercises before going full-blown writer mode. it's been working so far :)

25. besides writing, what are your other hobbies?

I love to paint with acrylics! But it's been quite a few months now.... I'm hoping with the cooler weather I'll be more inclined to make time for my hobbies in general, but especially painting:)

29. how easy is it for you to come up with titles?

HORRIBLE. NOT EASY. If I could pay someone to title and summarize my fics I would lmfaoooo. please someone else help me--- it's one of my greatest weaknesses because I have no patience for it !!!
