#these kinds of asks are fine btw

[1-800-cuupid]

in your opinion, and I'm sorry if you don't answer questions like these...but is the sims 4 halloween pack worth it or does it just...give you shit and a party you can throw...

I'm not the best person to ask when it comes to whether sims 4 content is worth the money or not. My answer is always no...lol

My suggestion is to check out carl's guide. He outlines what you'll get. Then you can decide for yourself.

Hey #GreekMythology tumblr, I want ya’lls help on something :).

So, I’ve been thinking about starting this massive project. Like, would take years and years work of writing and research and sheerly finding the time and motivation for. And as I was thinking about the specifics, I thought: why not bring others into it as well? Because as much as I am interested in a lot of Greek Mythology, there are things that are simply not my interests and might cause writers block and my goal for the project would to be as fun as possible. So, here we are.

What is the project exactly? Well, hopefully, it’ll be a long Ao3 series/fic focusing on the individual perspectives of various figures/events in Greek Mythology arranged in (semi/good enough) chronological order. I personally intend to write for Poseidon in his/my version of the Titanomachy and (maybe) some events that follow, if you want a little bit of an idea on what I’m talking about.

The limits on this are almost completely free, all that I ask are that each of your submissions are one POV only (and by that I mean your main subject’s POV). Why do I say this? I say this because that is what I want this project to look like. It doesn’t matter if it’s First, Second, or Third POV along with all the other variants of those three, my main focus is on the individual experiences of these individuals. Kind of like character studies, if you know what I mean. I’m intending for it to be mostly formal but I will absolutely accept crack admissions that I will probably put into its own series to Separate the Vibes for whoever comes by :).

Ultimately, this is a completely open-ended project that has absolutely no deadline. I’m about to go to bed so I can’t go into too much detail, but if you want to DM me or send any asks, I am completely okay with that and we’ll all flesh out the specifics we go :).

What is my overall purpose? Not only is this project made for my own individual purposes of learning more about the gods and other Greek Mythology writers, but it’s also the chance to spread the word of other writers. I know how hard it is to get specific audiences, especially when you’re shy, so this is a chance for your work to be stumbled upon. Each post on the eventual Ao3 fic will include your socials, how to find you, and your other general works on either ao3, tumblr, wattpad, or other :)

Can you participate even without socials or a tumblr page? Yes you absolutely can :). My asks will always be open to anons and I will do my best to give credit when I eventually post everything :). If you want to post multiple submissions or simply just want a trackable (between works) name to your writing, just sign something at the end. It could be a name, it could be a potential username, I don’t mind at all :)).

How do I submit things? Well, the best way would be to DM me :). I have a personal writing email separate from most things that would be perfect to either share a google docs with or to just send a copy-and-pasted copy of it. Otherwise, I take asks. None of them will be posted unless asked or we’re ready to so it’ll be safe to just drop them off in! It’s also where I take questions :).

Any other things to note? I’d really appreciate some other moderators and editors :). There’d only be like two or three of each and we’d have to know each other decently well before officially starting, but some help would be appreciated! Also, I’d like to keep a working ‘spreadsheet’ of who’s working on what just for people to see what’s going on :). Maybe some people can collaborate or it’ll encourage those niche writers to write :). A third thing is that most questionable stuff is accepted. I’d personally rather not handle all those things other than posting it so it might be a while until I can officially accept (consensual and/or graphic) ✨spicy stuff✨ but, other than that, I’ll take any of it (also, it’s Greek Mythology, almost all of it already happened). If someone’s willing to take over the ✨spicy stuff✨ then please DM me so we can work out the details and see if it’s a nice fit :)

Honestly, that all should be it. The main point is that I’m trying to start up a long-term project on Tumblr and Ao3 about what is essentially Greek Mythology character studies that not only allows for mass communication across a wide audience, but also (hopefully) gets some recognition for the smaller writers :). Feel free to DM me or send me asks with questions but for now, I shall sleep

okay, something i’ve been trying to decide, curious about yalls thoughts…

*official as in, these were natures given to various event distribution pikachus with the ot satoshi and/or ash.

some flavour text if you’re unsure:

naughty nature boosts attack and decreases special defence. preferred flavour is spicy; least favourite is bitter

brave nature boosts attack and decreases speed. preferred flavour is spicy; least favourite is sweet

hardy nature is a neutral nature, so it doesn’t change any stats and is neutral to all flavours

Jasico smut fic where Jason assumed Nico’s still a virgin but he's actually not/Nico assumed Jason’s not a virgin but he actually is? My preference is bottom Jason but it's up to you

hi !! the fic is fresh out of the oven at 6.4k words !! 👏

here you go 🤲

"Whoa, cucciolo," Nico whispered, hands cupping Jason's face. "So eager...you need me, don't you? Why don't you tell me what you need?"

Jason had an intense fantasy in that moment. He imagined Nico bending him over the mattress, pushing into him as he whispered filthy things in his ear. Jason would be left with trembling legs, clammy hands grasping the sheets as the mattress springs rocked with their movement.

But no, that couldn't be possible. That should not have been what he wanted. Perhaps if he switched things—if he bent Nico over the bed...

Jason whimpered once more, half out of need, half out of frustration at how his mind and body conflicted.

read the whole fic on ao3 💀⚡️

OMG YOUR DELTARUNE S/I LOOKS SOOOOO COOOL TELL ME ABOUT THEM!!!

Thankyou thankyou!!! They're the Vessel from the beginning of the Survey Program, and follow Kris around as a ghost narrating. Sort of the Chara to their Frisk, but with a lot more backseating

They don't control Kris, per say, like the player in canon Deltarune, but they do have more than just the power of being really annoying and can sway Kris without their input. Obviously, Kris isn't a big fan of being told what to do against their will and tends to fight back as much as they can.

They try not to be too annoying to Kris and stay in their lane as just an observer, but sometimes a choice comes up that they get entirely too excited about (like giving the plush to Berdly in Chapter 2, or giving affection to Ralsei) and end up accidentally forcing Kris to go along with them. They rarely notice when they do this, and Kris is unable to convey their lack of control to them, making their relationship very uneven.

In the Light World no one but Kris can see them, and they can't go very far from Kris on their own, where in the Dark World they can move at will and can even physically interact and be seen by everyone else, though Kris is still the only one who can hear them, so they tend to still stick pretty close to them.

They can also possess Kris to fully influence their choices and speech, though they only did so once and it was on complete accident. Kris described the experience as taking a Back Seat to their own life, fully conscious but unable to do anything. They've sense sworn to Kris to never do this again, it's the one thing Kris trusts them on.

I haven't yet decided if they're something that's always been with Kris, or if they're a new thing that appeared around the start of Chapter 1. That's probably a decision that'll change as we get more chapters and more information on Kris themselves

This Self Insert doesn't have any self ships attached to it, per say. The Vessel is very attached to Berdly and Ralsei but in a much more "Kris you should date these people" way, which makes Kris incredibly uncomfortable so they try to keep to themselves about it.

do you have thoughts on hersheys/american chocolate

to be frank i don't know what "american chocolate" reeeaaally means. like. do kitkats and mars and twix and stuff count? they're not chocolate per se, more like chocolate fingers. but if those are included, yea all that shablang is good but arguably more for the filling than for the chocolate itself (but since they're so common maybe they're france/europe-made and if so they definitely taste differently than real usamerican ones)

also i am not the best one to answer this kind of question cuz i have a very low sugar tolerance, i'm not a chocolate bar addict and i'm not a snacker in general at all. so yknow!! maybe biased answer!!

now to the taste test.

i have gone to three different superstores, a sweets-specialised store and a usamerican-specialised store and this is the only type of hershey's i could find so very limited choice here (arguably since it's not a plain chocolate i'd argue the test is null and void but let's carry on regardless)

(+ reese's cup cuz it's very usamerican, it's not very common and i never had one before. although it belongs to the chocolate finger kind of sweets)

the reese's cup is genuinely a horrible, awful snack. i'll be completely honest and had "mini reese's cups" before this test (i'm writing this live btw) and i was very close to just spit it all out because of how disgusting it was to me. and it happened again with the big ones lmao, albeit they were more balanced. by the second cup it's a bit enjoyable but it's really not . good. milk chocolate + peanut butter is Not It (never had peanut butter before so maybe it's solely because of the pb). plus it's sooooo sugary. i'm not gonna sleep tonight after this. i feel like i drank a cup of monster energy drink but there's no caffeine so it's not even worth it

now the hershey's – i took a square of black chocolate for cooking before hand to remember the taste of my usual chocolate (i don't like black chocolate but still. For Reference i had to). soooo. it's good. i like milk chocolate so it's very nice and the crunchy of the biscuit is cool, i like crunchy things. the milk chocolate feels very similar to the white chocolate i'm used to, albeit more sugary maybe. hard to tell with the biscuit. taste wise it's good. however the squares are very little (height-wise) compared to my usual chocolate bars so it's very unsatisfying hunger-wise, a feeling which i don't have AT ALL with my usual chocolate bars (4 squares and i'm usually "ok that's enough chocolate") so i understand better how you can just eat that stuff up until your cupboard is empty

so anyways. that's my review for that particular type of hershey's lmao. would eat again. i'd rather buy a snickers instead though. if i ever encounter regular hershey's i'll do an update i guess. but the reese's cups can fuck right off

Little friendly reminder to be nice to me in my ask box :) if I haven’t gotten to your ask yet, it’s just because I’ve been busy or I don’t have an idea for it yet- I’ll get to it! Just don’t be rude if it takes me awhile-

[sighonaraa]

i know ur knee deep in ask games rn but i neeeeeed to know ur take on the shandy storyline and how it relates to keeley’s storyline in s3 (and how that might play into the long s3 fix it! if you would like to talk about that!)

so the thing about me is i LOVE being annoying about the media i consume and the fics i write about the media i consume and i ALSO love being sent asks like these. tl;dr: i would very much like to talk about this bc. i have So Many Thoughts.

re: keeley's s3 storyline. it was. Disappointing. to say the least. and i turned it upside down and shook it, and two things fell out that really struck me: 1) keeley's established fear of abandonment (played for laughs in season 1 but Very Important To Me Personally) and, 2) the fact that, as much as i dearly love her so much, keeley is all about accountability but rarely is given or takes the opportunity to take accountability for her own actions. one change i'm making for keeley's storyline in the fix it is, i'm going to have her and roy's break-up be mutual -- but mutual in the sense that the breaking up is mutual, while the reasons for each of them wanting to initiate the break up are quite. different.

BUT THAT'S ANOTHER POST. ANYWAYS.

now to shandy! personally, i was SO EXCITED for shandy when she was introduced. she was fun! she and keeley had fantastic banter! she genuinely was very smart and had good ideas, until they... yeah. y'know. mark me down as angry AND disappointed. the only woman of color in the show aside from dr. sharon (whose role in this season is a whole other... issue. BUT THAT'S ANOTHER POST) and THAT'S what you do with her?? bad and icky. baaaaaad and icky.

essentially, i've come to the conclusion that what i wanted from keeley and shandy's storyline, specifically, was a parallel of keeley and rebecca's storyline from season 1 -- but slightly to the left. because when i look at it, what i see is two women who both came from working class childhoods, got into modeling, dated footballers, and on the surface are more or less a stereotype of that sort of character. but with keeley, we got a subversion of that! and i want to dig into that subversion with shandy's character too! i think it would be really interesting to approach their storyline from the perspective of, like. keeley "got out". she "escaped" the narrative of this character archetype. and in doing so, she "abandoned" her past, and along with it, the people in her past. people like shandy.

so there's going to be a lot of butting heads between the two of them, and eventually keeley's going to be forced to take a step back and reflect on her own behaviors, not only regarding shandy but also regarding the mistakes she herself made in her relationship with roy. and in doing THIS, she'll ALSO be forced to reconcile herself with her own fears of abandonment. plus! i'm going to have that whole "starfuckr" thing (which was. another Choice the season made) actually play into the leaked sex tape storyline, and examine issues of public image and perception, having agency in what sorts of things are online re: you and your body, modeling as a profession that commodifies bodies, etc., etc. i want keeley to actually approach shandy and be like. hey. we've learned to view our bodies as Things, but we shouldn't have had to. and this sort of app isn't okay. and to have both of them be able to, like. talk to each other about the toxic environment of modeling and how that's played into their own senses of self-worth and self-esteem.

ALSO! my last point and then i'll be quiet lmao. but keeley and shandy and barbara will all be FRIENDS. and they will be wonderful and support each other. this is very important to me.

thinking. I’ve had this lightheadedness and fast heart rate before but,,,, wondering if maybe it’s a long covid thing…? it definitely wasn’t a problem over 4 years ago, I can say that much. I don’t think it’s from my most recent infection (still don’t fucking know where I got it from I fucking hate it here my god people are so selfish) but maybe from my first infection which was uhhh. 2021…? 2022 maybe…? I can’t remember what year but it was a while before we got it. bc my tests all came back completely normal, not a thing of concern was brought up at the hospital about anything. just that my heart rate was fast, lightheadedness (and if I do too much, somewhat short of breath), and somewhat high blood pressure. that’s it. and I’ve been seeing a lot of articles and threads discussing how covid can effect your entire body, how it can hide and mutate in your body even if you test negative, all the ways it effects your brain, your immune system…….. and what long covid can do (I learnt some people straight up get psychosis. Like.) and I’m wondering if maybe I’m just… very lucky that these are maybe my only symptoms (so far) as a result of it? I’m completely vaccinated (I think I’m behind one but obviously I will be trying to get it as soon as I’m able to) so I can only hope those vaccines have helped save me from something worse,,,,, I heard it’s jacking up brains in people without depression or anxiety, so I worry about what it could do to someone (me) WITH both of those things. should I try and get some kind of scan done on my brain to see…? hhhhhg,,,, just reading all this has me so stressed like it’s so scary that something this fucking dangerous is just. ignored. no one discusses it. governments all over the world are just letting thousands of people die for no fucking reason because they refuse to lose anymore money. it’s insane to me, that this is the world we live in right now. it’s fucking scary.
