Hallo everyone!  Time for the tumblr update! I have big news! So read on!
Summary:
Finished drafting Yren's ending
Revised Kav, Noel, Raif, and Yren
Formatted/Scripted Kav, Noel, Raif, and Yren's endings
Worked on the play test for Yren
One new BG
Lots of UI stuff
Big Fiddly To Do List
Writing:
I am done with the writing. (Well. As done as one ever really is. I was telling another writer friend of mine just yesterday that we're never really done until the moment we have to ship the project to someone).
BUT. I am done with the rough draft. I am done with the major revision. So from this point onwards, the changes will be more minor as I play test and others play test (eventually. I'm the only one testing right now).
So going forward you probably won't be getting any writing updates because there won't be enough to report. Cause...it's done.
Uncoded word count is 657,000 words.
Coded word count is 616,000 words (this is how much actually ended up in Ren'py).
Huzzah. My 350,000 word story is done. He he. He. LoL
It took so much longer than I thought it would even though I was writing every day - sometimes 3000 words a day!
Timing was just so hard for this project. It was much more difficult to predict a total word count for this game. Because of the structure of this game, word count variations are going to be much more noticeable and I had to focus and work a little harder to keep everyone in much tighter alignment. So when one route (like Asher), increased by 5000 words, I knew immediately I would have to increase all the others by roughly the same amount.. That meant the overall word count goal instantly increased by 25000 words.
Additionally, any time I made a small change in something - whether it was lore or a minor wording or vocabulary change (for instance, changing one thing from "system void" to "gate void" then to "nexus void") - each time, I had to go change that thing in all the other routes.
There was a lot of continuity babysitting.
This was somewhat true for GS but not to the same degree. Not everything mentioned in one route in that game was even mentioned in the other routes. So I might need to only change one other route's references to that thing but not all nine routes. Or maybe no other route would need changes. In WSC, it was all 6 routes every single time.
So even if I was focusing on one particular route, I could never really work on that route in a vacuum. I was constantly having to go check on and edit the other routes for things too.
This not only made it harder and more time consuming to write in general, but also just made it impossible to predict things like how much time it would take.
But that is squared away. Life is good.
Art:
Just some BG stuff. I've been so focused on writing that not much of that focus has been spread around to art so there's not much to report here.
Other Stuff:
UI.
As you know I've been making some visual changes to the UI. Mostly minor stuff involving slight changes to the general aesthetic of the UI. Those fixes are largely complete.
And now the focus has shifted to adding more of the features and functionalities that have been planned but on-hold for the last year.
The new save screen is coded. This save screen, as you can see, divides the characters up by name and lets you add additional save slots when you've filled up all the empty ones. 
Tumblr media
For a game like WSC, where people may have multiple playthroughs for different characters going at the same time, I thought it would be useful to have this paged organisation. I always find that even if I try to keep my playthroughs separate and organised, they invariably get messy. This is true in other games, this is true for my personal play tests...
I'm really hoping this structure helps with that.
Another feature I'm adding to WSC is a recap screen.
Tumblr media
I know that with episodic games, one of the struggles people have is that they forget some of the story details during the gap between episodes. So people feel like they constantly have to replay and refresh their memory. This is, of course, an attempt to help players maybe not have to do that.
The idea is that I will update this with every episode so that people who want a recap can just click in and refresh their memory.
There are some other features that have been added in. Some other QOL of life things. And there are more features to come. I won't go into everything here.
But those things are slowly coming together as well.
There are a lot of things that have to be done before the first episode can release. Some are major things like completing the CGs or coding the sprite expressions. Some are more minor like adding the in-game achievements. 
And there are also a ton of smaller, more fiddly things. Like double-checking the styling of certain words (my editing programs could never decide if they preferred home world or homeworld and so both get used.)
I want to fix those kinds of things so testers don't have to worry about pointing them out.
I have a massive to-do list filled with all of those big and small things. And now I'm working through it.
I have also been doing a play test of Yren's route. I have to personally do each route one time just to see if there are any significant issues that need to be fixed before anyone else sees the game. So I've been doing that as well.
Upcoming Weeks:
Finishing my own play test of the game. This goes fairly slow because I play test with the self voicing enabled. And that means that I'm playing through it at a much slower pace. I also stop frequently to fix typos, change repetitive wording. Or may slightly more substantial fixes.
I've been testing for like...2 hours a night because I've been focused on writing during the day. But I'm going to be increasing the time I spend play testing so that hopefully I can get through the rest of it a little faster.
Additionally, all the UI and "Fiddly List" stuff will continue to be worked on as well.
So that's where we are.
We have moved past writing and into the next phase of development. I'm really excited to be finally focusing on other stuff.
That is all for now. I will see you next time.

chosen this one hope for s6 that i will formally acknowledge b/c imo that was the most unmitigated Win for Winston in all of s5
#think if we get dialogue we'll Probably also get visual info but i suppose it's possible they're like offscreen but distinctly heard lol#winston billions#of course i have other hopes but not so much trying to encourage expectations It May Actually Happen even though it may....#or you can have like anti hopes for classic billions type messes like ''well if winston and taylor are at odds for 1+ scene that's at least#An Interaction / Dynamic lol'' but i doubt even if that's the case that it would Actually result it many interactions#standards of s5 like well there in 5x05 they weren't too pressed abt winston being fired so ig him quitting wouldn't be a big deal either#unless they then had no named employees but we might add to that roster this season anyways#maybe winston will interact w/ppl he hasn't before and any of those dynamics will be positive but you know. shrug#can't really count on winston being given material besides [he's like a pinball pop bumper for characters / dialogue to ricochet off of]#so chatting with tuk again as One Official Hope for his character doesn't feel very overambitious#as always lol the Extended Bit which is deciding to be here for this bg guy who just says/does things ''wrong'' mostly & ppl react to that..#somebody's gotta do it! and where else are you gonna find another character like this. endemic to [billions' writing]#and portrayed by will roland i.e. that detail that inspired showing up in the first place to check out this recurring wrole....#love the self named stink lol. one's individual acting je ne sais quoi#anyways like of course i do expect more than one good thing / one pleasant surprise in winston material out of s6#this is somewhat humorousse but i mean furthermore there were additional good things / pleasant surprises in s5 too but#this was still like the out and out self contained Best Thing lol....no conclusively established Positive Personal Dynamic W/Rian yet.....#less direct interactions w/taylor than ever really....that it was basically established he and mafee must be Kinda#amicable work acquaintances; only this counted for virtually nothing....congrats to him not having to deal w/antagonistic parties More ig#i.e. only dealing w/bill in one ep i guess; same re wendy (although everyone in tmc had to deal w/her in ep 1); only Looked At by axe....#anyways as always with every new season; every new episode; no doubt abt it i am ready to be hurt again or however it goes#i'm also ready for the pleasant surprises....billions Is fun and Is enjoyable but it's also hardly so straightforward as to describe it as#just that...it is also a torment and a curse but isn't just that either. you had to be there! and also be me#f to not much real Text Centering going on in this mspaint edit lol....have to approximate it manually but not even possible to space it out#so that it's Even enough w/o the actual like [center orientation] option#also obvi. i have hopes re riawin and i will act up if anything comes to fruition but ofc im Not gonna Officially hope for that#and b/c it's billions it Must be balanced out w/[relationships ending; rarely super neatly & amicably] but. you just have to take what you#can get....and if this doesn't go anywhere to bring us [winston kissing content] then i doubt we'll get that ever. maybe with tuk#call that a conclusion....definitely planned that full circle tags discursion

Hitmen AU! | Head Canons | 19+ [Haikyuu!!]
𝕹𝖊𝖐𝖔𝖒𝖆 [PART i] [PART ii] [PART iii]
Part 3 of the hitmen head canons for Nekoma~!! Next team to be set up will be Aoba Johsai~!
» » Admin Ko
»»————- ♔ ————-««
S̷o̷ ̷I̷n̷u̷o̷k̷a̷
This precious baby-- oh my god practically Hinata’s equal in terms of energy and excitement
Like Tanaka and Taketora, the pair met on the streets except instead of brawling they had a rather--- exhilarating first meeting?
Let’s just say it ended with a broken store front and two very angry motherly figures from both respective teams
anywho, let’s get into the gritty bits. This boy, is deadass the all-rounder.
He may not be as noticed or remembered like the other members, but it definitely adds to his skill set as he’s able to easily and swiftly move throughout the field without any sort of issue. 
Once tried to teach Lev how to be sneaky and holy fuck he’s never gonna forget that day 
His main specialty is being the ‘1st Warning’ when payments are late after their services have been completed
is pretty good at holding a decent conversation with the buyers, but talks better with his fists when they become a little too... confident
A chorus of chuckles. The shaking of hands and leisure smiles were shared across the room as the 5 individuals greeted one another before seating themselves at the table. Some of them jesting at the youngest in the room as the figure could only let out a laugh before seating himself at the head of the table. 
“Greetings, I’m here as a representative for my business. I’ve been told by my senior that you all are looking to use our services?” 
The question fell quickly, as he wasn’t really here to sit and beat around the bush. That came for later, to test and see how the clients here ticked and who would be the first on his list for a visit. Of course the responses were initially normal, though as time ticked on and their demands were being placed on the table, tensions began to arise as a handful of them began to get cocky. 
Their statements running freely with no consideration to the sinister smile that began to form on the young man’s usually sweet face. Within a moment’s notice, one of the ruder clients found the ground to be their new best friend as they sputtered and choked against the heavy weight around their throat.
“Let this be a reminder to you all, that even if I am young...I know exactly what I’m doing.”
A toll baby oh my god
He has messy bedhead, but he usually styles it up since it’s easy and efficient 
Looks lanky from a distance, but is pretty well built for all that does 
he has one tattoo on his body and two basic studs
is very baby faced 
with his s/o, he honestly doesn’t show or indicate any signs of being a part of the more darker parts of the world
he’s very affectionate and cuddly with s/o too~! 
Whenever he gets into familiar territory while on a date with s/o he’ll quickly convince them to go a different route or to do something different for their date
T̴a̴m̴a̴h̴i̴k̴o̴ ̴T̴e̴s̴h̴i̴r̴o̴
Calm and collected like Kenma, he is Kenma’s student prodigy whatever you wanna call it
helps with the cyber end details and transactions as well as cyber attacks if any other organizations try to hack or expose their little corner
makes little mistakes here and there tbh, but Kenma fixes them quickly and shows him tips and tricks to counteract the problem
besides training with Kenma, he also works in the lab to make and develop more equipment for missions as well as products to sell to potential clients
doesn’t necessarily engage on the field, is usually back at base help from home
gives heads up and advice from information he sees on the dark web when handing off assignments
Skimming over the information once more. The young male couldn’t help but furrow his brows in confusion. It was odd. The coding, the message, the timing. All of it just told him that there was something more at play. That this purchase was hiding a much more bigger, sinister scheme. 
“...Odd.” Indeed it was, of course he’d run it by the older strategist when he went to collect the assignments to pass out. Yet he couldn’t help but once he brought it up a war would break out within their sanction.
He isn’t as tall as the others, nor is he the most buff but he does make up for what he lacks physically by helping create equipment and making sure his teammates will be safe on the field
definitely frequents sparring matches with the other rookies to keep in shape 
doesn’t have any tattoos but does have an industrial 
with his s/o he can be a little...secretive
he doesn’t want to expose them to the work he does nor possibly get them hurt so he can be pretty vague
like Kenma, any chance he can be with s/o he’ll do so most likely in doors and just chatting and catching up with a show in the bg
L̷e̷v̷ ̷H̷a̷i̷b̷a̷
god this child-- plz help this clutz
very mischievous and sly, when he holds conversations with anyone it always feels like he’s trying to pry something out of them. 
aspires to be an all round ace like Inoka is, but honestly is a big clutz
accidentally almost killed Inoka first day during shooting practice
Yaku deadass beat this tall boi’s ass to the ground 
he goes through the most training and the most skills 
definitely makes up for his mess on the field, despite still making mistakes here and there, he shows improvement every time he’s assigned a new mission.
Out of all the skills he’s learned, he definitely likes the skills of interrogation
he enjoys seeing their victims squirm and beg for forgiveness 
“Oh come now~. This isn’t so bad right? You just need to pay the money and let us know who your second supplier is~!” A gleeful voice echoed throughout the desolate chamber as the seated individual trembled in the metal chair. When no response was given, a sharp click of the tongue was heard as a cry of pain cut through the tense air. The clang of the metal chair hitting the concrete floor as a boot pressed the victim’s head tortuously slowly into the ground.
“I’m not here to keep playing this little game...I know you’ve been selling our information to a competitor...and honestly none of us like that. Though...it is good to say that you’re not the only one selling secrets~.” A wicked grin, and pearly whites were tattooed into the victim’s mind as the horror of their darkest deeds were being sold. Though this group wouldn’t do such a thing...right?
“I know what you’re thinking...and honestly, it’s not true~ We made quite the pretty penny~.”
the tollest boy in their group
his silver hair is usually slicked back to keep a more professional look, but tbh he has it down
has a large variety of tattoos over his body along with old and fresh battle scars and bruises
he’s more lean than bulky but incredibly toned from his intensive workouts
with his s/o he’s a big prankster and a tease
loves to hold things out of reach and steal kisses from them
is always wrapped around s/o and follows them like a lost puppy at times when he really wants affection
Y̴u̴k̴i̴ ̴S̴h̴i̴b̴a̴y̴a̴m̴a̴
The most quiet member and shyest member
rarely ever causes issues in the group tbh 
he’s yaku’s favorite since he’s the least problematic rookie
despite being the shyest member, he really wows his members by being the eyes and ears.
During recon or sniping missions he’ll be the eyes and ears for the members by updating them in real time of what the target is doing and what things they will need to notice for.
Is one of the better gun handlers in the rookie group
“Target is heading off course. Distracted by a guest in the common room.” Sharp and quick, the usually soft voice spoke confidently as brown eyes analyzed the situation and how to move on from there. An annoyed sigh left his lips as he skimmed over the live CCTV footage before updating the assassins on the field.
“High chance that enemy organizations have infiltrated the assignment. Proceed with caution. Odd amount of cars coming up.” 
Furrowing his brows, the male continued to debrief the team coordinating and helping them get through the mission with as little issue as possible before letting out a pleased sigh as the target laid dead. The assassins immediately retreating as the veteran driver grinned, starting their car and returning to base.
One of the smallest members 
isn’t too bulky or too lean but rather average in terms of build
has no piercings or tattoos, but does have a good chunk of scars and bruises from constant sparring and training to keep his stamina and defenses up
his hair is usually pulled back to keep out of his face whenever he skims over feed to relay to the others
he’s very sweet around his s/o 
taking the time to listen to them and spending as much time as he can with them
a bit more honest than the others where he’ll tell them a bit about their job

ok perth u probably didn't see the oneus cb yet but i gotta give u my thoughts please take my thoughts.
black mirror: it feels a little atrocious and cheesy and i actually love it like it's just a catchy song!! they could have gone harder but i'm okay with it. the mv is VERY valkyrie which is cute but also boring. none of the shots really wowed me also rbw tanked their budget for this cb.. and some of their fits suck. for me this is a step up from banbakbulga though
connect with us: letdown letdownnnn i would honestly rather listen to the outro version of this song. there is no movement there is no buildup. but xion has a verse so 🥰🥰 i guess
polarity: THIS IS THE ONE.. catchy as hell mwah
happy birthday: save me. save them. the chorus is nice honestly and i like this producer but the aggressively heterosexual corny english interjections really took me out of the vibe.. it's not my birthday i'm not your girlfriend shut up shut uppppp
valkyrock: mixed feelings bc it really just feels like valkyrie with poorly arranged hard guitar in the bg there were some weird instrumental choices too. it serves its purpose which is to be a cool concert remix. there are some cool moments tho especially with the main guitar which i can only assume is kanghyun just shredding it good for him. could have gone harder with the rock concept
so overall this cb... just okay. i'm okay with it! it's def not a come back home or a tbontb (i actually LOVED tbontb era sfsgdfdgdg even the acoustic guitar in the chorus) but frankly it wasn't trying to be that. still feels pretty oneus. anywayyy this is long! i just wanted to like. open a discussion lol don't feel pressured to respond!! -tt
i can finally start answering this ohohoho
hi tt anon my beloved!!! i am ready to answer to these thoughts (aka compare them to mine hSDGHSDKJGH. also i’ll be writing like, each ThoughtTM after i’ve listened to each song, so while i’m typing that i’ve only heard black mirror)
ok so i’m done typing my thoughts and. it got VERY long. don’t apologise for length i’m also wordy <3
now connect with us. so far i didn’t like the voice editing on keonhee’s voice but the song sounds... alright... not groundbreaking but it’s alright. seoho my beloved <3 WAIT THERES NO DROP IN THE CHORUS???? WHAT THE FUCK? i don’t really like the typical kpop drops always used now but come on?? oh wait there’s a? ugh. that was nothing. well i guess it’s a song and dongju got a verse for sure. i don’t have a lot to say on it i don’t know if i’ll add it to any playlists IS THAT HWANWOONG’S FIRST LINE?????? what the hell is any of this DSKJFHKJHD i may not have noticed him before but huh what. eh. it’s a song. again maybe it’ll grow on me! but right now yeah it’s a letdown i agree.
so for black mirror i agree the mv was... cheaper than what we got with gaja, twilight & etc. like they used all the budget on their first mvs DNSKJFHKJ (and to be or not to be... i guess? i don’t remember much except Guns And Blood Bath). i don’t really mind it in itself bc i don’t watch mvs much anymore and i’ve accepted that sometimes companies will just throw whatever at the audience for the sake of money (see also: ugly dance by onf letting me down in great part bc it acts as a followup to beautiful beautiful but is literally just a performance mv with no storytelling elements whatsoever but eh what can you do right) but for someone who likes cinematography it’s definitely gonna be disappointing if they were expecting something like gaja or come back home. as for the fits i didn’t really look at them, mostly their faces? and ough they are pretty <3 but yeah i wanted to get the more negative criticism out of the way so i can talk about The Song because unexpectedly i actually really like it!! and we can thank the bassline for that LMAOOO honestly this is gonna sound mean for no reason but this is what w*nho (censoring in case it gets in tags... i do NOT need mbbs after me on this fine day) thought he was doing with his debut song (not losing you that one made me cry. the one that i forgot the name of). i really enjoy the vibe of the song even if imo it doesn’t really fit the visual concept very much? but it has strings and i’m not gonna say no to strings. strings and a sexy bassline. and yonghoon’s whistling. SHFSDHKH
no but it’s a really good song imo! it’s not... as good as say, twilight (maybe it’ll grow on me idk we’ll see but twilight really was one of their best so), but it’s still a pretty solid song and while i do like banbakbulga a lot now it feels a lot less oneus than black mirror. oh wait i have something else to say, they really should leave the rapping to ravn bc like we know kpop rappers are not really rappers but i. really don’t wanna hear leedo rap anymore. he has great vocals there’s no reason for that... ravn is genuinely enjoyable to listen to so i don’t mind him but pls rbw give leedo more vocal lessons so he can sing more (and also give dongju vocal lessons at all?? why does he get two lines per song??? they’re a 2 yr old group now there’s no excuse. is he that bad? i don’t buy it he sounded good in the rtk gaja)
black mirror also very vaguely reminded me of run away by got7 during the chorus for some reason feel free to ignore that HFKJSHKFJ
onto polarity! shit i really need wrist braces. well this is like an improved connect with us? it’s definitely catchier sdnfsjkdfh and definitely a oneus song tho that means i don’t really like what their style is headed toward... one of the percussions they keep using, i really don’t like it!! i hear it everywhere and i don’t like it! not bc i hear it everywhere but bc it’s used for anything and everything like u should be more careful with what sounds u use for what songs. but i’m also very picky in the little details when i’m focused on something i guess sndfjskh. keonhee sounds really good in this song thank u mr lisp for my life i love u :) OH WAIT LEEDO IN THE CHORUS??? VERY GOOD LET’S GET MARRIED jk not to a leo man.
then we got happy birthday....... um... i was gonna say this is fine then he said you’re my goddess and. let me out <3 NOOO KEONHEE SOUNDS SO GOOD THIS IS EVIL... WHY DOES HE SOUND SO GOOD ON THIS SONG NANODNONDD LOVE LOSES </////3 i wouldn’t say it’s unlistenable for me like english girl but i’m gonna have to turn off my english speaking brain to listen to it yeah. it’s a good song otherwise what a shame... stop pushing ur heterosexual words onto me i’m just trying to listen to a song!!! do songs have to be gendered!!!!!!!!!
valkyrock here we go. last one. last one boys & not boys. so far it’s nice tbh. HUH? they lost the vibe with ravn’s verse. okay i guess the prechorus is alright i can hear the faintest hint of strings. the chorus... the percussions should not be like that... like idk how to explain it but the rhythm is too regular and not spaced out enough, if they were gonna do it like that it should hit a lot harder. don’t give me just the big boy (idk the english name but u know the one on the drums) and the small cymbal sound... that’s not loud enough bring out the damn gong (ok i may exaggerate but like it sounds more dancey than rock either way). uhhhhh overall though i really like the mix of the heavy guitar & strings i think that’s great and they should do that more. i can only assume onewe took care of the instruments LMAO harin u should’ve gone harder than that king i know u can...
so uhmmm for me this cb is... better than the previous one. which is sad bc it was a full album. i also liked it better than tbontb bc i felt that one didn’t go hard enough and black mirror wasn’t trying to go hard in that way so it doesn’t bother me 😭 yeah it’s not light us raise us fly with us level but it’s really good still. i can’t wait for oneus to finally release something that makes me insane but tbh? tbh? the bassline might get me there anyway. sexy bass makes me deranged and i think that’s at least a little bit relatable. still... when oneus get back to their roots in ways other than valkyrock maybe we’ll ascend to a better plane. much love 💕

IT’S COMMISSION TIME!
That’s right folks! ACNH-themed YCH + YFH (your character + your fave) commissions are now available! Get some cute art of your islander and your favorite villager or NPC!!
Each commission will include the commissioner’s choice of:
One of three offered poses;
One villager/NPC companion & characters’ expressions; and
A simple background, if desired! (single-color BG also OK!)
This should go without saying (I mean, it’s Animal Crossing), but these commissions are SFW ONLY! Also, please try to keep your requests simple! Even if I do my very best, I think more complicated requests/anything with too much detail may not come out very well in this simpler style! If you’re not sure, though, just ask!
Commission payments will be done via Paypal!! Further details will be given after discussing your commission.
For the time being, I’ll be opening up 5 SLOTS! Depending on quickly they fill up, as well as how quickly & easily I can get through them, I may add more!
I think that’s all--if you have any questions, shoot me an email!
So, with all that said and done: pick a pose,  pick your fave, decide on your characters’ expressions, and grab a reference pic of your islander--then send an email to timidfrogworks @ gmail(.)com so we can work out the details!!
[SLOTS FILLED: 0 / 5]

THE OFFICIAL DBD STORE SELLS A HUNTRESS (and shirtless david) BODY PILLOW AND IM 👀👀👀👀👀👀👌👌👌👌
Tumblr media
Keep ‘em comin’ lads
(Haha. I do gotta say tho Anon, if you want a body pillow for DbD, please consider getting a custom one instead. I think you’d actually like it much better! The rest was meant to be under a cut but tumblr is the dumbest shit site coding wise & I made this on mobile, which will not allow you to add read mores anymore. In past this has been no problem bc I can just save as a draft & edit + post on my laptop or edit the second I post & throw in a read-more but apparently now if you make a post on mobile you can never edit it in desktop again. : ) I love that. So fucking much! But this is going to be long now & I physically cannot fix that bc it also won’t let me swap it to html now it’s posted : ) : ) : ) fuck this site : ) —anyway! On a brighter note, here’s my pitch:
Okay! So to start.
First up. Let’s look at what the devs are offering you.
Tumblr media
Here are the official body pillows. Now, these aren’t the worst pictures of Anna and David I’ve ever seen, but they’re not great. David’s in his default queue pose, I got no idea wtf Anna’s doing, and neither of them have interesting, good, or attractive poses, lighting, expressions, or detail. Considering this is decently funded company with multiple artists on staff and full body 3D adjustable rendered models of Anna & David on every computer there, it’s lazy as hell. It’s not even as good art as their official sketches or character renders or promo art. They know how to do the work:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They’re just being lazy.
Okay, though, but you really want a body pillow, so what to do? Well, maybe it’ll be cheap enough you don’t care about the quality too much. So, how much will this cost you? For me to ship to myself in the us with the cheapest shipping option, Anna would cost me $80.
Tumblr media
Okay, so. That sucks. But you really want this and what else can you do? There’s nothing else to pick.
OH WAIT. Yes there is! So here’s some actually good news for ya 💪
If you want a custom body pillow, you have two options: 1, buy a custom pillow case and a pillow separately, or 2, buy a custom pillow with the image on the pillow print itself. Now, you can get the second option, but it is exponentially more expensive. I’ve seen maybe 60something-70 as the cheapest option for this, although I didn’t spend a ton of time looking. Still, if you want to go full hog, it’s possible. If you don’t mind a pillowcase/the cheaper option, though, (and many pillow cases are custom to the exact specified pillow size and aren’t really noticeable at all), it’s a good deal. For example: A body pillow can be bought at many stores for about 15 bucks. There is some variance in pricing for size, shape, and material, but here I’d like to add the official DbD site doesn’t even list dimensions for their body pillow, let alone material. So, for me to get what I want if I wanted this, I could buy a $15 pillow at a store, and then a pillowcase from a place that I could get it custom made & delivered, IE price + shipping is $30 from here https://www.etsy.com/listing/653983430/custom-21-x-60-zipper-body-pillowcase?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=custom+body+pillow&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&bes=1
So we’re at about $45 right now. (eBay offers cheaper custom pillowcase options but I didn’t want to try to vet sellers for quality & reliability making this post & this is a good price).
This leaves about $35 to commission an artist for something to put on the pillow case. Now, price for commission varies greatly from artist to artist, and full body is the most expensive base option for a single subject, but there’s definitely people offering really freaking incredible commissions at this price, and sometimes even lower. Even though their art should really be worth more than that. Unfortunately, we artists gotta eat. And a lot of the people who buy commissions are also young adults who gotta eat and don’t have a ton of cash. 🤷🏻‍♀️ So there’s a lot of people who’d be genuinely very happy to be paid for that commission even though it kinda sucks we be there. And if you want to commission someone more expensive, sure you’ll be spending more on the body pillow than DbD officials $80ish. But uh. Would you rather give the same devs who picked the most racist Claudette design they could put into the game for the most recent costume contest $80 for one of these:
Tumblr media
Or
Spend $37 for a David of @eggchef ‘s lookin this kinda fine:
https://eggchef.tumblr.com/post/190185302972/david-and-jake-are-both-just-rich-kids-who-said
Tumblr media
$40 for a full body Anna of @guud-night ‘s in the style they did this: https://guud-night.tumblr.com/post/185148722468/summer
Tumblr media
Or $42 for a full body Anna like this one by @sleazy-art https://sleazy-art.tumblr.com/post/169548091038
Tumblr media
or $70 for a full body of @guud-night ‘s in the style of this Anna seen here https://guud-night.tumblr.com/post/165476621798/the-huntress
Tumblr media
The fan artists do better work—I mean think of how amazing a pillow could look if your heart cries for one. Vs the low-grade renders the devs be offering. They do so much better it’s like a “Look at your body pillow. Now look at the body pillow the devs told you not to worry about” meme it truly is. TBH, you could screenshot a DbD store screen with Anna or David, edit out the BG in photoshop, and already have a better 3D image than the official offering. 😂 And with an artist? 👌 Mmmmm. Anyway, haha. There was my in-depth pitch to buy from fans instead of official. I was just very motivated to *Robin Williams Genie voice* Illuminate the possibilities! I hope it may have given you inspiration for something even more beautiful than what you thought your heart desired :’-)

Sans Tutorial?
Last year someone sent an ask for a tutorial about how I draw Sans, but I have been pretty busy and not gotten around to making it! I don’t know how helpful this will be, because it turns out my technique is basically:
1. draw a circle
2. draw the rest of the skeleton
But anyway, I’ll post the steps for this picture here :3
Tumblr media
I have picked up some good tips from tutorials but I don’t use them very much because some are too basic, some are too advanced, some are written too proscriptively, and usually the example art looks way better than what I’m doing if I follow along. So my tips may be a mix of too-obvious and not-adequately-explained, but perhaps a few beginner or intermediate level artists will find something useful here :3 I will assume you know what layers are and have software that can do layers. I use Paint Tool SAI, which is pretty affordable, and there are other programs that are free.
First I draw a circle where I want the skull to be. I don’t necessarily stick with this circle as I continue sketching. And one of the advantages of drawing digitally is that I can move parts around if it’s not working. If I’m planning out a complex picture, Sans will be a circle with two more circles for eyes and a vague cylinder/blob as a body, at first.
Then sketch in more detail. Fingers are important, and I often have to go back and refine the sketch of the hands in the middle of doing the lineart.
There are many different and valid styles for drawing Sans. I always draw his eyes as this sort of arch-like shape, like a half circle that’s stretched out vertically. Even if they’re half-lidded, I start with the whole eye shape (and if they’re half closed they tend to end up pretty rectangular).
Tumblr media
In this picture, I made his legs too short, then too long, and you can see some artifacts of how they got moved around and adjusted. (I pretty much never draw him just standing there in full-body, I guess owo) It’s much easier to adjust things in a sketch than after it’s been lined, so take your time. If I wasn’t feeling confident, or if I wanted to make the linework easier, or if I wanted someone to approve the picture before I did lines, I would do another, more-refined sketch on top of this one. But I’ve been drawing a lot of Sanses over the past few years so I didn’t :3 I do have a brush for sketches that is not totally opaque.
(Beginner tip: If you’re using a serious art program, you can reduce the opacity of the sketch layer and draw the next sketch in a new layer on top. This is how you’ll do the linework too. I also put Sans’s legs on a separate layer when I was adjusting them in this pic. This is also a good time to adjust the framing of the picture; I usually drew it too small and off-center. This pic is a bit off-center because I thought I might add text on the right side about the steps. But then I didn’t.)
Tumblr media
Next is lines. In Paint Tool SAI, I can have multiple layers in a folder and select the whole folder as “selection source” (so I can fill in the colors later). This makes it easy to use a Lineart layer for the smooth curve of Sans’s skull, and a regular Raster layer for the rest of the lines. Of course, make sure the line width is similar. (Being able to choose a selection source other than “current layer” or “whole image” is one of the advantages of SAI in my experience.)
I used thin lines here. I don’t always, but sometimes I try to use thin lines and add plenty of detail and I’m pretty pleased with it. (Often if I want to save some energy I use thicker, rough-textured lines, so that you won’t be able to tell so much where I got the curve of the skull wrong and then adjusted it.) When I first started drawing Sans, I gave him too many teeth. Then I overcompensated and gave him too few teeth. Now I’ve settled on about this many teeth. I like to draw bony, skeletal hands. For any bones, Google image search is your friend. You don’t need to know the proper name of the bone; just search for the body area + bones. I usually draw the nose hole a bit more simplified. I don’t always bother with the drawstring. Sometimes I give him a turtleneck sweater so I don’t have to draw a glimpse of collarbone, ribs, spine inside his shirt. Idk why his tibiae are so thick today owo
Tumblr media
Flat colors and cel shading. I like to put a bright color that contrasts with the colors I’m using in the background, so I can easily see corners that got missed by the fill tool. Usually, I do multiple layers of the base colors, so that I won’t have to worry about the edges when shading. (All the color layers are collected in a folder. Not the bg though; if it’s complex it will have its own folder.) Here, I used a shading layer for each base color layer (the shading layer is a clipping layer, so the shade color won’t be visible unless it’s overlapping its correct base color). I don’t like to be organized and label my layers, so I do the shading right after the base color, while I still remember what layer it’s on :3 You can also do the flat colors on one layer (or just in one folder) and then put a multiply or shading layer as a clipping layer over that for the shading (many fewer layers to deal with but you must pay more attention to the staying inside the lines). Aside from the sketches, I still haven’t used any brush other than the default pen. You can of course use more layers and more colors for fancier cel shading. I have used a few extra darker shades on Sans’s neck.
Tumblr media
More shading. I usually choose between cel-shading and more shading, but I tried adding a little bit more here since it’s a tutorial. It doesn’t make a huge difference though; if I hadn’t done cel-shading, I would have made the blendy shading stand out more. You can do each color individually (here’s a tutorial about that), but you can also make a clipping layer over all the colors (flat colors on one layer or all the color layers in a folder) and make it a multiply or shade layer, and shading for all the colors there. I like to fill in this shading layer with white so it blends more between the light and dark. This is also a great technique for adding shading to something that has a pattern on its surface (e.g. you can add fur texture to your rainbow cat without painting the texture in every color of the rainbow). This is where I use brushes I adapted myself or stole from other artists :3 and another place where SAI has an advantage because it’s specifically designed to be good at painting. I lightened the background and added a little shadow (blurred with the watercolor brush).
Tumblr media
Extra cross-hatchy lines. When I do thin lines, I like to add these lines as a little extra shading/detail. I usually do them before color, and on a separate layer so I can keep them out of the “selection source” when filling in flat colors. This time I did them at the end. They add a little texture to everything and I think they work well on the hand bones.

Hey everyone! Time for the bi-weekly tumblr update for Steamberry stuffs!
Summary
Finished writing all routes up through the end of chapter 9
Started working on editing for now
Added in-game achievements
Received some new BG art
Ramble
Okay, so writing-wise, I wrote Yren's content up through the end of chapter 9. Also revamped my end-route summaries for Yren and Raif.
The current word count is 426,000 words.
But I decided to hold off on finishing the endings for the four remaining routes. The main reason for this is that I have planned a lot of early-story changes that are going to shift the trajectory of the route endings. And I was really struggling with how to construct the route endings with those planned changes in a more nebulous state.
I usually try to avoid working out of order because I find it is not conducive to forward progress. But there are some points when you have to break the rules and go back to make important edits because you need them there in order to be able to move forward.
I'm kind of at that point.
So I decided I would fully edit Asher's route, which will allow me to inject all those planned changes into the story which will make it much easier to construct endings that call back to that earlier foreshadowing.
So writing-wise, that's what I've been doing this week. I am currently up to Chapter 6 in the edit (which means I'm a little less than half through the route).
Other Stuff:
I have received new BGs of course. Those are coming in at a fairly steady rate of 1.5 - 2 weeks each.
I also have decided to add in-game achievements to WSC. I've been thinking about it for a while but putting it off since I know that one more screen (like an achievements gallery) means more tweaks to the UI. But I finally sucked it up and did it anyway.
I've also been playing with a colour slider for Wil's sprite. I'm not going to go into detail about it here because I've talked about it more in depth on Patreon and will continue to post most of the details there.
But the idea is that instead of choosing from 3 skin tones and 2 hair colours, there would be colour sliders allowing for a much greater range of selection. One of the big concerns with colour sliders is whether or not the recolours can be made to look as good as recolouring manually - which has always been why I've stayed away from them. 
The more complex shading styles have always struggled with colour sliders. But a developer friend - Feniks - has made a really cool and dynamic shader that actually can recreate even painterly or non-outlined art styles with incredible accuracy.
Using a slider is really useful because it increases the variations the player gets while *reducing* my work load. Instead of having to recolour manually, I would actually only need to colour everything once in grey scale.
Of course, it's not as easy as just dumping in the code and art. It requires some experimentation and learning but right now it is looking like I will be able to make it work. So I may be able to show off some examples in the future.
Screenshots:
None this time...
Upcoming Weeks:
I am currently editing Chapter 6 of asher/common routes and there are some pretty substantial edits I have to make.
It's always tricky to estimate what I will get done editing wise because editing does not flow at a more or less even pace like writing. Chapter 5, 6, and 7 had (and will have) major updates and changes so it may take a while to get through them. Though I'm already through with Ch 5. So...that's one of three.
Anyway.
And I'm also working on the GS lore book, still (LoL. 🙃). Someone today reminded me that I still need to go through all the deleted content to see if anything is salvageable for the lore book too.
😭
Thank you so much to that person (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. And you need to answer for your crimes, my friend.) 👀

Blind Gossip: A One Direction Speculations Masterpost
(Tumblr took this down ‘cause BG’s legal team is whatever, but I wanted it to live on so I removed the screenshots. I abandoned this in 2013 because the amount of time I spent on it was unhealthy, LOL, but here it is for those that may have wanted to see it)
Blind Gossip: A One Direction Speculations Masterpost (Ace’s “Dark” Period: Added Nov. 8th, 2013)
Alternatively titled “You’re pretty ace, Ace”
Disclaimer: The analyses contained within this post are all personal, so I’m not claiming to be right in anything I say. I am certainly not Ace and I do not have all of the answers. I did, however, spend a great deal of time organizing and researching in order to put this together, so it is my sincere hope that you enjoy it should you choose to read it.
Note: This post will be continually updated as new blinds surface.
Welcome! This post will include my own speculations and educated (or maybe not-so-educated) guesses about certain Blind Gossip entries. It is important before you read on that you are aware that I believe Harry and Louis are in a relationship, and will be analyzing these blinds with that belief in mind.
At the end of the day, it’s your choice whether or not you believe any of this. You are welcome to your own opinions and analyses.
Now, before I begin, let’s explore a little bit about Blind Gossip and how it works.
What exactly is Blind Gossip?
Blind Gossip is essentially a celebrity gossip site that is run by the anonymous “Ace.” The stories featured on the sites are called “blinds,” a word derived from the term “blind item.” A blind item is defined as “a news story, usually gossip, in which the details of the matter are reported while the identities of the people involved are not revealed.“ Basically, posting blind items is a way to release information about celebrities/PR stunts without the risk of lawsuits or otherbacklash because no names were used. However, there is normally a plethora of hints provided, which can usually guide the reader to make an educated guess about the subject(s).
The blinds that the site posts cover a wide range of topics (pregnancy rumors, drug addictions, and PR/closeting, to name a few) and their subjects represent a wide range of celebs (athletes, singers, actors, reality show stars, and so on). BG features two types of blinds - solved and unsolved. When posting blind items, Ace normally does so in the form of a “BG12345,” which consists of 5 blind items being presented, one per hour, beginning at a certain time that Ace will often previously announce. Some blinds never get solved (any unsolved blinds are stored in the “uncategorized” category on the site) and are left to forever be a mystery. Those that are solved, however, can be further divided into two types - those that present concrete proof and those that do not. Sometimes Ace will link a major news source reporting on the content of the blind, or present other evidence that proves the solved blind to be true. When this happens, other sources usually pick up the story and it morphs from a rumor into news. Oftentimes, Ace’s blinds are the first to hint at a scandal in a celeb’s life before it even hits the papers. But sometimes (like many of the One Direction blinds) the blind is solved with no real evidence and you have to take Ace’s word for it. Assuming Blind Gossip is truthful on matters that were never concretely proved is pure speculation, andit is crucial to always keep this in mind before one starts taking Ace’s word as gospel.
It is very important to remember that first and foremost, BG is a gossip site. Its entire point is to get hits and make money, whether that is achieved through exposing the truth or concocting/perpetuating lies. To further your understanding of this, please read the following disclaimer from the site, including crucial parts I have bolded for emphasis:
Disclaimer
1. This is a gossip site. Information published on the site – especially information republished from other sites – may be inaccurate or contain errors. BlindGossip.com makes no warranties or guarantees about the accuracy or reliability of the site’s content.
2. The materials on BlindGossip.com’s web site are provided “as is”.

Further, BlindGossip.com does not warrant or make any representations concerning the accuracy, likely results, or reliability of the use of the materials on its Internet web site or otherwise relating to such materials or on any sites linked to this site.
Secondly, now that we have been properly disclaimed, I have organized some resources below that will serve to explain some things about Blind Gossip’s reputation, and what sets it apart from a typical, trashy gossip site.
This post was originally written by my lovely friend Stefania (she used to have a blog at couldnotspeakasloudasmyheart), and explains a few things about BG’s reliability (scroll down past blog header to read):
Why is Blind Gossip considered a reliable source?
As well as this blind, which demonstrates how seriously Ace takes the content of all blinds & the credibility of BG’s sources:
A Liar Gets Caught
And an ask by gossip-candy that further clarifies Ace’s professionalism:
Gossip Candy
And now that you know what you’re getting into, let’s begin!
This masterpost will serve to organize any and all Blind Gossip entries that may involve certain One Direction members. I will analyze each blind by providing an explanation of any clues that may point to One Direction being the subject(s) of the blind, and which information may signify that the blind is not about them. Clues, you’ll find, can be found both in wordplay and general context. I also provide background for events the blind may be referencing, and try to set a timeframe for any blind that references a specific event/events that happened in the past.
The following blinds have been organized chronologically, and all the titles are linked to their corresponding blinds. On behalf of Ace, I ask that you please do follow the link to read the original blind, in addition to viewing the screenshots I have provided. All credit for any screenshotted blind goes to blindgossip.com.
We’ll begin our journey with the ever-famous (and my personal favorite) “Boy Banders Are Hiding A Secret,” which was posted to the Blind Gossip site on April 5th, 2012.
1. “Boy Banders Are Hiding A Secret“ - April 5th, 2012
image
A fantastic place to start our journey! This blind has been analyzed to death, but if you’re not familiar with it, here is a list of clues people picked up on that clearly hint at One Direction:
"singing competition show" » X-Factor
stereotypes » The Bad Boy (Zayn), The Baby (Niall), The Nice One (Liam), leaving Harry&Louis to be The Gay Ones
"beautiful young men" » What Makes You Beautiful
"one" mentioned 6 times » One Direction
"one has a beard" » Louis was dating Eleanor, Harry was single
"up all night" » name of debut album
To me, this is still the most believable blind to date. I try to always remain skeptical with these situations, and I would have chalked it all up to coincidence… had Ace not thrown in “up all night.” All the hints add up, and the name of their debut album inserted so cleverly in the text really just seals the deal for me. Out of all the blinds, this would be one I’d place a bet on.
2. “Floating Pics of One Direction Singer” - July 23rd, 2012
image
I actually have never seen a post about this blind, but that is because I am still relatively new to the One Direction fandom and this was back in 2012.
We don’t even have to speculate that this about 1D because hey look, they tell us right there in the title! Now, as we all know, Harry has been deemed the "womanizer" of the group. So personally, I’d venture to guess that this blind is aimed towards him.
3. “Tease and Announcement“ - October 15th, 2012
image
So like I was saying, my blog and I weren’t around in 2012 when this was all going down. But this blind, according to my research, freaked some people out because they thought it was about Louis/Eleanor. I’ve also heard that there was a similar collective freak-out when Eleanor was sporting a fancy Forever 21 ring. So yeah, this is clearly a blind that’s going to warrant some freaking.
This article provides us with the fact that he is a "singer," which at least narrows it down a bit.
Some possible hints that were thrown around:
“one hot young singer” » Surprise, One Direction (This is mostly noteworthy because Ace could have just as easily written “He is a hot younger singer;” using “one” just wasn’t necessary and actually makes the word flow a bit awkward.)
2 mentions of ”beautiful” » What Makes You Beautiful, as well asevery single article known to man referring to Louis’ beautiful girlfriend Eleanor Calder
There’s a lot of speculation on this one and definitely not as many hints. And there’s also the fact that it is 2013 and Louis and Eleanor aren’t engaged or married.
So for now, we’re going to move on. Do not fear, this blind will be revisited in the fifth section. Also, keep the concluding sentence “More later” in the back of your brain.
4. “One of You Will Know The Truth” - October 16th, 2012
image
And here comes some heavy speculation. This article is the least specific yet. No mentions of “performer” or “singer.” Just "young man.“
There are a few hints, though:
"teen/tween" » the majority of 1D’s fanbase, as well as their intended audience
“one day,” ”one of you will know the truth” » One Direction
4 mentions of "Tell her…" » 4 mentions of "Tell me" in Tell Me A Lie:
Tell me I’m a screwed up mess… / Tell me you don’t want my kiss… / Tell me anything… / Tell me a lie
(Special thanks to dlr99 on Blind Gossip for pointing out the Tell her/Tell me comparison in the comments… The paragraph originally made me think of Tell Me A Lie but I thought it was too far of a stretch. But now that I see the number of mentions match the chorus, it seems a little more likely that it was planned.)
Now, it’s funny how this came out a day after the “Tease and Announcement” blind. Actually, it’s not really that funny. These articles go hand-in-hand; that much is clear.
And that’s about all I’ve got on this one. It’s incredibly vague (on purpose, I’m sure) and I can’t say anything for a fact. I can say, however, that this blind will also be briefly revisited in the next section.
5. ”Heartthrob Proposed to Girlfriend” - October 22nd, 2012
image
I’m sure you know this blind quite well, and you may be wondering why I am including it.
A lot of people threw around Jelena guesses in the comments section of “Tease and Announcement” and “One of You Will Know The Truth.” Justin/Selena were later revealed as the subjects of this blind (and this blind only). Now, it is very important to note the following:
image
“While he was not the subject of those blinds”
image
Blind Gossip basically just told us that these two blinds are not about Justin. Since he was the biggest contender, this now leaves more room for it to be Louis. But like I’ve been saying, this does not prove anything. All I can say is that one of the popular guesses has been more or less eliminated by Ace.
6. “They Won’t Make It To Valentine’s Day” - December 7th, 2012 (SOLVED)
image
This blind is hilarious because Harry/Taylor had JUST been photographed as a "real couple" in Central Park Zoo on December 3rd, and people on BG were already guessing “Haylor” as the answer to this blind, which was posted just 4 days later. Some pretty obvious clues include:
“never, ever admit” » We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together
“trouble fans” » I Knew You Were Trouble
photo » Taylor is known for making her hands into a heart at her concerts
Valentine’s Day » Taylor starred in a movie by the same name
So basically the answer was crystal clear, so no one was surprised when it was solved.
image
image
Ace gives us a few pretty good gems about how fake this relationship was in the following paragraphs, including:
Why did they break up? Well, we’ll let you in on a little secret: These two couldn’t stand each other! That’s right. They didn’t even like each other! Each one thinks that the other is immature and annoying. Frankly, they are probably both right. While holding hands they grimaced in a way that kids do when they think that someone is giving them the cooties. They really didn’t like kissing each other (that New Year’s Eve kiss was staged), and they certainly never slept together. Yes, all that sneaking in and out of hotels nonsense was totally choreographed.
The purpose of this blind was basically just to confirm what we already knew; Haylor was nothing but a pitiful publicity set-up that wasn’t built to last. However, this would not be the last of the Haylor blinds…
7. “Relationship Runway Rant“ - January 15th, 2013 (SOLVED)
image
Surprise! Another obvious one. Some clues that pointed to Harry/Taylor:
"a bad actor” » Let’s be honest here, Harry Styles is not a good faker; his facial expressions in the Haylor pics alone were enough to give them away
“his management team" » From what we have seen, whether it’s the rumored romance of Harry/Caroline Flack or the staged Emma Ostilly kiss, the One Direction management loves a good set-up
“needed the publicity” » Taylor’s album “Red” had been released back in October
“sweet, together girl” » Taylor Swift is, after all, “America’s Sweetheart”
“never getting back together” » We Are Never, Ever Getting Back Together
Now, at this point in the game, we must remember that it is important to take every Blind Gossip article with a grain of salt. This one was a little harder for me to believe because the quotes in the article are so specific; they would have had to come from a direct source that overheard the entire conversation. However, the hilarious commentary in the “Solved” section dissolved some of my doubts.
image
A few notes to Tay Tay, who we hear reads BG:
1. Sweetie, the bodyguards that surround you don’t provide a magic invisibility shield or a soundproof shield.  It might help to remember that the next time you are in a public place.
HAHAHA. So maybe a source did actually overhear her, who knows?
Also:
5. Act your age. Date your age. Oh, and try to date straight boys. They might actually like you.
WELL WELL WELL. Ace, are you trying to say that Harry Styles isn’t straight? Hm. How very interesting.
This is just yet another blind that shows the transparency of “Haylor,” while casually throwing in a hint that Harry Styles may not be the straight womanizer he is portrayed to be.
8. “Two Plus Two Equals Bedlam” - November 19th, 2012 (SOLVED)image
This blind actually didn’t do much to hint at anyone in One Direction originally, at least in the usual wordplay way. There were some context clues, but this wasn’t really on my radar until after it was solved. (This is out of chronological order because it was solved after the Haylor blinds, and only makes sense after reading them.)image
image
If indeed true, this blind doesn’t do much except to reinforce the fact that One Direction’s management (and according to Ace, Taylor “Because we needed the f*cking publicity” Swift) will do anything to make sure the boys are always on the public’s radar, no matter the personal cost. (And it demonstrates that, to no surprise, Niall is a really great friend who knows when to say no.)
9. “Two Hotties Interested In One“ - January 18th, 2013
image
This one’s a funny one. When it was first posted, there were quite a few clues the fandom believed pointed towards this being about Harry/Louis, such as:
"Two Hotties Are Interested in One,” “which one is worthy of her crush,” “which one she would want to marry”» One Direction
"two talented, under-25 performers” » Harry was 18 and Louis was 21 at this point
"just a couple of years” » One Direction officially started ‘working’ together in 2011, which would have been two years ago
There are also a few, less-concrete hints:
"they don’t look alike” » I mean, this certainly can depend on individual opinion. But honestly, Harry and Louis really don’t look much alike. Besides the obvious differences of short/curvy and tall/flat, their hair/eye color/facial structure are incredibly unique from the other.
“Set-ups with girls are fake” » Fresh off the Haylor train, this comes as no surprise.
The one thing that threw everyone off a bit was the pair being popular among the “young adult” crowd comment. Most of the One Direction fanbase is made of tweens/teens. As a young adult fan myself, I can vouch for our existence, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say that we make up the majority of the fanbase. However, the blind goes on to mention “young girls" being interested in them. So that disconnect is something to keep in mind.
Now, shortly after this blind was posted, it was updated to say that it was actually about two actors on a television show, and was correspondingly tagged as “actors, television.” A lot of guesses about Harry/Louis had already been thrown about in the comments section, which is probably why Ace added that it was not about any of the One Direction boys. But, BG still threw us a bone with a little side-comment “(although other blinds might be).”
Even though Blind Gossip says that it’s not about One Direction, it doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t. BG has lied before and said a blind isn’t about someone, and then it is solved to be that very person. So honestly, this one is pretty much up in the air.
10. “He Will Lose His Job If He Comes Out“ - January 24th, 2013
image
This blind was interesting. One of the biggest context clues is that "The Gay One" is referenced, which of course was introduced in the very first blind "Boy Banders Hiding A Secret." But which one? The general consensus’ reaction was that it would most likely be about Harry, since no girlfriend/beard was mentioned. This article also uses the word ”one” many times, just like many of the previous blinds. So, to review the specific hints:
“The Gay One" »Throwback to "Boy Banders Hiding A Secret" blind
4 mentions of ”one” » One Direction
"He is not the only one in his group of colleagues to feel this way” » Also another throwback to the “Boy Banders” blind, referencing "The Other Gay One" (assumed to be Louis)
"sell an image” » We all know that Harry’s image is that of a womanizer, and his many high-profile setups prove his management wants that image to sell. He is certainly not alone in this, though; most management nowadays is all about image, so this doesn’t necessarily prove it’s about Harry.
"if he goes rogue” » It’s a bit of a stretch, but parsleybabe pointed out to me that this could be referring to Louis’ first band “The Rogue.” If the blind is about Harry, “going rogue” could possibly refer to “going for Louis.”
The rest of it is very general:
"cute, young celebrity" » Harry’s the youngest in the band, and he is certainly cute, but this description could apply to countless celebs
"part of a group" » this certainly narrows it down, but there are other groups out there it could apply to
substantially older management team » The founders of Modest! are “substantially older;” Richard Griffiths has been in the business for forty years, founding his first agency in 1974; Harry Magee has been in the industry for over thirty years, joining his first company in 1982. However, this is still quite general, as other groups may also have an older management team.
The thing that doesn’t sit right with me is the part that says the other members of the group are "content to play the public game of pretending that they are all straight as long as the paychecks keep rolling in." Perhaps it is just me being idealistic, but having been following the boys for quite a while, they’ve never struck me as the type that are just in it for the money. They are incredibly generous with their donations to charity, and are much more expressive about the fact that they are living their dreams, rather than focusing on the money/fame aspect. Personally, I wouldn’t bet on this one.
11. “He Already Has Someone” - January 31st, 2013 (SOLVED)
image
This one was so deliciously obvious. First of all, let’s just take a moment to appreciate the crater of a dimple in Photo Boy’s face. Secondly:
“takes her home" » second album name, Take Me Home
"the blonde is just a friend” » The day before, Harry was spotted with his blonde friend Ellis Calcutt, and the next day articles like this were circulating like wildfire around the Internet:
image
Lastly, the part that mentions he "isn’t ready to take it public yet" is reminiscent of the "Two Hotties Interested In One" blind, which mentioned "even if they can’t express it yet in public.”
So really, nobody was surprised when this popped up again on August 8th, 2013:
image
image
image
Now, down in the solved section of this blind is a little blurb about actress Emily Atack admitting to a “fling” with Harry. The whole thing is emphasized to be very casual, never a “boyfriend and girlfriend” kind of deal. This struck me as quite weird, because even though it seemed BG’s intention was to prove that Harry is already with someone and the setups are fake, they still threw in something about a girl he was “seeing” back in the day. Like I said before, I’m not Ace, so I can’t really tell you what that means. It could have been BG’s way of trying to tiptoe around the subject so as not to get into trouble with any big wigs, or perhaps Ace was just trying to stir the pot a little.
What’s important to take away from this is that all of the clues pointed to Harry, and this blind ended up being about him just as we suspected. One might go so far as to say that a pattern is slowly, but surely, being established.
12. “Porny Reputation“ - February 7th, 2013 (SOLVED)
image
This one got pretty hilarious, especially within the fandom. When this blind surfaced, the Internet exploded with the name “Jack Styles.” He does certainly resemble Harry, and the sharing of “Styles” is a pretty big clue. Take a look:
imageimage
The video in question is years old, from back in August 2009, but a video doesn’t necessarily have to be new to “surface.” And according to my research, Harry’s “look-alike” had been circulating through the Tumblrsphere before the blind was even posted.
A few context clues include:
"one of the world’s biggest young stars" » This isn’t specific by any  means, but let’s be honest… Who in the world doesn’t at least know Harry Styles’ name at this point? He dominates the media, and he’s also the youngest in the band. We can assume he is at least a likely candidate. (Also, one of the world’s biggest stars » One Direction)
"a collective heart attack” » Heart Attack, track on the Take Me Home album
Now, if this is indeed about Jack/Harry Styles, BG made a few errors. Jack Styles has been Jack Styles since 2009, so he didn’t name himself after Harry. Secondly, he doesn’t even do porn anymore! According to his profile (WARNING: link leads to mature content), he only did five videos in 2009. (The Harry look-alike pictures come from the video with Sean Taylor). So this one is a bit of a toss-up. The details certainly check out, and in some shots he does very much look like Harry, but one can never be sure.
SOLVED! Well, look at that! Quite out of the blue, this blind has been solved on November 6th, 2013:
image
I have no idea why this blind was solved at such a random time. Perhaps Ace was running dry on One Direction news and wanted some hits. Who knows? Anyway, this blind didn’t necessarily need “proof” to be solved, but it does demonstrate that we were right in our assumptions that it was about Harry. Porny case closed.
13. “Publicity Proposal Pending” - February 14th, 2013 (SOLVED May 7th, 2013)image
This one got an interesting reaction. It was posted just in time for Valentine’s Day, which is pretty funny when you consider the very first Haylor blind. No one missed Ace’s clue of “moving in that direction,” soa lot of Elounor guesses were thrown around, as well as Zerrie, and a select few for Payzer. The alliteration in the title was a more subtle clue (Payne/Peazer/Payzer), but it did indeed end up being about Liam:image
Once again, Ace emphasizes the management’s wish for the boys to push a straight image with his description of “Desirable, heterosexual young men.” We can observe that Ace’s comments in the solved sections are establishing a steady pattern of hinting (or blatantly stating) that one or more of the members may not be straight.
Now, do you remember the “Tease and Announcement” blind? It ended with the phrase "More later.“ Look how Ace ends this one:
image
"You’ll see soon enough…" Hm. That’s a nice throwback to “More later,” eh? Since “Tease and Announcement” wasn’t solved along with the Payzer blind, and Ace informed us that it was not about Jelena, Elounor is still an incredibly strong contender. With comments like “More later” and “You’ll see soon enough,” it certainly seems like Ace is warning us to prepare for another engagement setup.
14. “Popstar Is Just Pretending” - February 22nd, 2013
image
Not much to this one. The timing is hilarious, because Louis and Eleanor had just gone to the Topshop fashion show earlier in the week, on the 17th. If we want to get tinhatty, the girl in the photo is sporting a pretty Eleanor-esque bun. Also, the fact that the listed source is the Mirror is interesting, because we all know the Mirror loves printing any scandalous One Direction story, whether it’s true or not. This one is obviously meant to be pretty obscure, so I’ll leave it be for now.
15. “Boy Banders Are Hiding A Secret Trailer“ - April 24th, 2013
So after more than a year, let’s talk about how BG posted this fan-made trailer, which presents One Direction as the subject of their infamous blind:
image
Tell me, why exactly would Ace post this if it was the wrong answer?
Like I said, this blind is certainly one I’d place a bet on. Convinced yet?
16. “They Were Involved Before the Show” - May 22nd, 2013
image
I really don’t think this blind is related to One Direction. At all. I’m only including it because it was the subject of some speculation, mostly from people thinking that it may be suggesting that Harry and Louis had dated before the X Factor days. They were at the same Script concert, yes, but according to them, they didn’t know each other at that time. And if they had met and dated two years before the show, Harry would have been 14 and Louis would have been 17. I’m just not buying it.
The only clue I see is the ”one really cute couple.” That’s pretty much it. I really don’t think that One Direction is necessarily defined by their X Factor days (I know that’s how they began, but they didn’t actually win), and the blind is tagged as “television.” It’s true that the “Two Hotties Interested in One" blind was tagged as “television” as well, but that was long after it was posted, and may have been an attempt to throw us off. If anything, the rainbow of colors featured in the picture is making me think it’s Glee-related.
I’m not feeling this one, so let’s move on.
17. “Traveling In Different Directions“ - July 24th, 2013
image
I am however, feeling this one. Ah, Ace. Could we get any more obvious? Some clues:
"Traveling In Different Directions,” “same direction”» One Direction
Two very prominent "1"s on road sign » One Direction
Salt Lake City on road sign » The following day, One Direction played at the Maverik Center, which is located in a suburb of none other than Salt Lake City
"boy banders" »Lest we forget “Boy Banders AreHiding A Secret!” (Also, none of the boy bands currently on tour have girlfriends who are publicized even nearly as much as Eleanor.)
“They won’t make it to the end of the year” » Reminiscent of "They Won’t Make It To Valentine’s Day" blind
There is no doubt in my mind that this is about One Direction. And since Zayn/Perrie were not traveling together (she left the USA just as 1D arrived) and Liam/Danielle were already broken up, Elounor is the last option left. This blind may as well already be solved.
18. “Winter Break” - July 29th, 2013
image
This one is hilariously obvious as well. Ace is throwing us a lot of bones. The blind mentions “boy banders” right off the bat, and then goes on to pile on the hints:
“one of the boys,” “one of them,” “one prefers Speedos” » surprise, One Direction
“a bit more modest” “Forget modest!” » Modest! Management, anyone? With the exclamation point and everything!
It literally could not be more obvious, especially with Modest! thrown into the mix. There are also some speculations the fandom has made about which boy is which:
"one of them wants to hit the slopes” » Harry/Louis took a skiing holiday together back in 2011… Harry tweeted that Louis taught him to ski in Courchevel, so obviously Lou is pretty practiced at it
"the other wants to go to a beach” » Harry literally just said in a q&a on twitter on August 19th that he loves the ocean
“one prefers Speedos" » Let’s be honest, Harry’s never really been shy when it comes to showing off his undies (or what is under them) Here is a pic of Harry on the “pot yacht” for your viewing pleasure:image
"one prefers to be a bit more modest" » We have very few shirtless Louis pictures to speak of, at least in comparison to Harry. Here is a pic of him on the pot yacht as well. Spot the difference: image
If this blind is indeed legit, there is no doubt in my mind that it is about our dear Harry and Louis. The pieces fit perfectly, and the hints about an Elounor break-up are slowly but surely building up. Stay tuned!
19. “Ring Shopping” - August 16th, 2013
image
So as it happens, Louis and Eleanor were spotted shopping together in Beverly Hills on August 13th, three days before this blind was posted. And it just so happens that they were photographed in what appears to be a jewelry store on Rodeo Drive.
image
I heard many rumors about this picture: that it may have been photoshopped, that they were actually checking into a hotel, or that it was a Rolex store. I’m not sure how any of these theories check out, but either way, people were still freaking out like they always do. So yes, Ace. Of course it got our attention.
There are no wordplay clues in this blind to speak of. The only reason it immediately brings Elounor to mind is because it came three days after the picture was taken.
This blind just reinforces the fact that Ace is watching… Always watching.
20. “Third Time’s A Charm“ - August 21st, 2013
image
I have to say that after making this masterpost, I saw this coming.
Ace has stopped using wordplay clues, and started giving it to us straight.
Forced Guy/Girlfriend » Liam/Danielle, as reported and solved in “Publicity Proposal Pending” blind
Ring Shopping Guy/Girlfriend » Louis/Eleanor, as hinted at in “Ring Shopping” blind
Now, the engaged couple is quite obviously Zayn and Perrie. Perrie was spotted with a diamond ring on her finger on August 20th at the This Is Us movie premiere. Sources report that Zayn had asked her the weekend before.
What this blind fails to do, however, is take us farther than that. We know that management was pushing for one of the boys to get engaged. What we don’t know is whether or not this one is a fake engagement.
Ace blatantly states that the Payzer engagement was for publicity, and that Louis/Eleanor are “definitely” not getting married. What Ace says about the newest engagement, however, is only that one of the boys "pulled off the engagement bit" and then goes on to say "Congratulations to the happy couple!”
To be honest, I am not sure where this leaves Zayn and Perrie. To me, it seems that Ace could be saying the two are genuinely and maybe even happily engaged, but that the union was sped up by managerial pressure. However, Ace could also be saying it’s all just another publicity stunt. (But if Ace wanted us to believe it was a publicity engagement, it begs the question: Why was neither Little Mix nor Perrie’s own celebrity image hinted at in the blind? A publicity engagement, after all, would benefit her as well.) We only got two sentences about the newest engagement that really only told us what we already knew. There is no mention of publicity, or the couple not being genuine, or the couple having problems. So what is Ace even trying to say here?
I think this blind was left open-ended for a reason. So let’s keep our eyes peeled for more info.
21. “Double Date Sleepover“ - September 3rd, 2013
image
Okay, I literally don’t know why this was posted because there is nothing to figure out here. It’s common knowledge that Harry and Liam were offering an evening out in London to raise money for Trekstock for one fan and a friend. But Ace did throw in "best double date ever" as a hint just in case you didn’t get it. Sooo… blind solved! But will this lead to more? We’ll have to wait and see!
22. “Behind This Gorgeous Young Couple” - September 13th, 2013
image
Never fear, Ace is here!! Here we have yet another BG clarification on the difference between real life and publicity.
On August 31, Harry and Cara Delevingne were spotted on a ”romantic theater date,” and reports are now circulating that they are dating and considering “getting serious.”
The photo is a nice starting point for a guess, because the girl is blonde, the guy is dark-haired, and let’s not forget how many pictures there are of Harry in that exact pose, giving a little side smooch to fans, bandmates, etc.!
There aren’t any wordplays in this blind that I can detect, but "hearts breaking all over the world,“ "cute young male performer" and "he has a lot more fans than she does" at least points toward Harry, before driving it home with the mention of "his famous relationship last year with that very pretty singer" and Ace wondering if he’s become a "better actor." This is, of course, a reference to the Haylor nightmare that began last December, and casts Taylor Swift as the "very pretty singer.”
A lot of gems can be found in the fourth paragraph. It makes sense that the two “don’t mind hanging out together,” because Cara and Harry have always got on pretty well. However, the jackpot is found in the mention of their respective reputations being boosted as “a desirable heterosexual celebrity.” Remember this?
If you’re unfamiliar with the above blind, last year there was heavy speculation that something saucy was going on behind the scenes with Cara (model) and Rita Ora (singer, UK).
image
To sum things up, the answer Ace is looking for is clearly Harry, Cara, and Taylor Swift. I’m sure there will be more where this came from, so stay tuned.
23. “Faux Couple Photo“ - September 30th, 2013
image
Ah, Ace. You never let me down.
So, as we all know, yesterday this photo was posted on Instagram by one waltermartinez3:
image
image
This picture is of Paige Reifler, an aspiring “model” who’s been linked with Harry numerous times, and Harry, in a seemingly comprising position. I’m going to begin with my analysis of the blind. If you are unfamiliar with the background to this picture, please see the corresponding section below.
Beginning with wordplay clues:
"one thing that publicists never tire of” » Up All Night track, One Thing
"private moments” » What could be more private than closet canoodling? Also, could be a stretch, but let’s not forget that Moments is also a 1D song.
"the best staged photos,” “the best ones” » Best Song Ever
“one thing,” “best ones,” “the ones,” “one where” » One Direction (The overuse of “one” seems to be a favorite of Ace’s)
Now, for contextual clues:
The first hint we have is ”young male star on the floor, entangled with his girlfriend in a loving and 'spontaneous' embrace.” Harry matches this description, and he has certainly been linked to Paige enough in the past for her to qualify as his "girlfriend" to the ill-informed. And the embrace definitely does seem spontaneous… For poor Harry, at least, considering his defensive stance. Other (obvious) clues:
"faces cleverly obscured" » by the hanging shirts
his tattoo » Harry’s "Things I Can’t" tattoo is clearly visible on his left arm
Ace ends the blind in classic Ace-style, with yet another insinuation that Harry Styles’ straight, womanizing image isn’t who he really is:
"Are you buying the hetero image they are trying to give him? Well, you shouldn’t. Because the girl in the photo isn’t the true love of his life.”
This blind is tantalizingly specific in its clues, and it was posted within a mere 24 hours of the photo’s posting. Very few media sources picked up on it right away, but we were all anticipating something from BG. This tells us two things: 1) BG knows when to deliver and 2) Ace is always watching.
That’s all for now, but keep a wary eye on BG’s “Solved” section. You never know what might turn up.
BACKGROUND: Now, if you are unfamiliar with this series of unfortunate events, buckle in, because there is a lot to it. The guy that posted this picture, Walter Martinez, is one of Stephen Orso’s crew. If you’ll recall, back in late June/early July, Stephen Orso, Paige, and some friends met up with Harry in NJ. He gave them free tickets to his show and they proceeded to completely shit all over his generosity, taking a video of them in the audience pretending to sleep, filing their nails, and leaving early. Other things were revealed after the fact, such as the awful content of Stephen’s twitter. Harry then tweeted his infamous “You my friend, are not my kind of Pal” tweet. Basically, it was a huge mess for Harry. (You can read in detail about Harry’s first interaction with Stephen and his crew here.)
Now, as for the photo, this picture of Paige and Harry was posted to Stephen’s Instagram on June 30th. As you can see, their outfits are the same as the photo above. It’s definitely Paige, and it’s definitely Harry.
How do we know Stephen was involved in this Instagram pic? The asshole was tweeting the pic to TMZ down in the comments.
image
Paige wasn’t having it, and commented the following:
image
She later tweeted (her Twitter is private, or I would link it) “Revenge is childish. Hope you’re happy.“ So on Paige’s side, it was made out to be a big revenge plot.
As of now, the photo has been deleted from Instagram.
What I have presented above are just the basic facts of the situation. For more resources, check out gossipcandy.com.
You can also read a bit more about Paige here. In summary, she’s always looking for attention, and worst of all, she got what she wanted. Now that she’s been exposed, hopefully we’ll be seeing much less of her.
And that, my friends, concludes the background section. If you have any questions or need a clarification, feel free to message me.
ACE’S ‘DARK’ PERIOD
These blinds get their own section because they demonstrate a complete turnaround in Ace, in both writing style and intention, that I am choosing to call Ace’s “dark” period. As of late, Ace has begun solving blinds dealing with very serious/sensitive content with no proof to back up his claims, and has targeted and attacked certain celebrities with absolutely no holds barred.
Brace yourselves, and let’s begin.
1. “Winter Break Is Going Downhill Fast” - October 15th, 2013
image
Well, it had to happen eventually… Bad news blind. Let’s get to it. First, the wordplay clues:
“who don’t know what it is going on behind the scenes” » At first I thought this was a typo, but now I’m thinking it could very well be a hint at Louis’ “It is what it is” tattoo.
winter vacation » throwback to “Winter Break“ blind
"the first one,” “one of our boys” » One Direction, as per usual
Now, onto the context. First of all, Ace tells us that the couple’s relationship “has become increasingly difficult to manage.” Having followed their movements, there has been no visible change in behavior between Harry and Louis during these past few months that the fandom has observed. This is not to say there may not be trouble brewing behind the scenes, but I would think that if someone in the relationship truly did cheat, that kind of tension would certainly translate to the stage, subtly or not.
So, who is this other guy? Ace provides us with very few clues, besides the fact that he’s "not a member of the band" and "had a relationship with one of our boys." We also know that the lover scorned is not a big fan of this person, with Ace’s addition of ”Of all the people in the world, why did it have to be him?” at the end of the blind. The most popular guess so far among fans has been Nick Grimshaw. He does fit what Ace seems to be getting at, to a point; Nick and Harry did hang out a lot in the past/still do occasionally, and the media loves to label Nick "Harry’s bff" and speculate whether or not they’re in a some sort of secret relationship. However, Nick immediately coming to mind as the “other guy” in this blind is also due to timing. Earlier this month, Nick and Louis engaged in a bit of a Twitter war.
It began when Louis tweeted this:
image
Nick then not-so-subtly commented the following on The Breakfast Show (credit to grincham-n-larry for the dialogue):
image
Louis, seemingly having gotten wind of the comment, fired back with this equally not-so-subtle tweet:
image
And Nick got sassy:
image
It’s clear that Louis isn’t a big fan of Nick’s, which makes the Grims a likely contender for this blind. However, I’m not buying any of it. Why? This blind absolutely reeks of promotion. Not only does One Direction have a new album being released in November, the second season of “Sweat the Small Stuff,” a television program Nick is hosting, premiered on October 15th - the exact day of this blind.
Here are a few things we need to consider before we lend this blind any credibility whatsoever:
Assuming Nick is the “other guy” and even that Harry is the one that cheated is pure speculation. Ace did not give us any specific clues (which he certainly has in other blinds) to point to one or the other; this blind is open-ended. This probably means that we were meant to guess and make a fuss.
The lack of specifics in this blind could mean that the source was lacking in knowledge. The whole thing could easily be bullshit.
Promotion, promotion, promotion! As they say in showbiz, any promotion is good promotion. Ace is not immune to being fed false info, for promotional reasons or otherwise. True or false, BG’s blinds will still get hits.
Ace had implied that Eleanor will be gone soon, but now she is coming to Australia. This blind could be Ace’s way of covering up the fact that his prediction has yet to happen. (Credit to Lisa)
Also, keep in mind that One Direction just signed a new music contract and will most likely be dropping Modest! management when the (suspected) 3-year contract is up at the end of this year. With Harry’s “We don’t need no piece of paper from the city hall” tweet that spurred marriage rumors and the recent tension in the Twittersphere involving Louis’ family, Eleanor, etc., sending false info about cheating to Ace could be one last attempt by Modest! to push the heterosexual images they have worked so tirelessly over the years to perpetuate.
Just like any other blind, this one must be taken with a grain of salt. It is very generalized, and very open to interpretation. It was meant to get attention and it did.
As Ace has promised to “fill us in later,” keep an eye out for an update.
2. “Band Hotel Drama Part 1, 2, and 3" - October 16th, 2013
image
image
image
After these blinds popped up, it certainly seemed like the “Winter Break Is Going Downhill Fast” blind had ushered in a new era of Blind Gossip that demonstrated a complete change in Ace. As I began to explain in the intro to this section, blinds began to be solved with absolutely no real proof (such as the Monchele scandal or the Jo Bros “Fake Bump” blind) and Ace’s writing style seemed to have changed. The writing even started getting a little sloppy - For example, Part 1 of this series originally had the “Two Guys who shared a room” bit attached to the bottom, when that blind hadn’t even begun to approach that particular topic. It was shortly removed.
But what is even stranger is that these blinds seem to have gotten their info from a rumor post on Tumblr… that went around in March. A Tumblr user (who has requested to remain anonymous) apparently had some personal connections that caused her to be privy to certain information about the boy’s stay in a hotel room in Cardiff, and she made a post about this information back in early March. (The boys were in Cardiff from March 1st-3rd, performing in four matinee performances - beginning with an opening show on Friday, two on Saturday, and ending with one final show on Sunday. {source} )
The original post (now deleted - if you have it on your blog, feel free to send it to me) about the Cardiff hotel incident contained the following info {credit to bromanceshmomance}:
image
However, when all 3 of the blinds were released, it seems not everything matched up with what she had been told:
imageimageSo the coke clean-up was incredibly exaggerated (if it even happened in the first place), there were no fans outside, and no rooms were empty, contrary to what Ace claimed.
Now that we’ve covered the content, what about the writing style? There are very few wordplay clues - “one" is used a mere three times in total (one more story, one of the rooms, one bed) but it is not in the usual clever way; in fact, there’s really no other way to word these phrases, so they don’t even actually seem like clues. And that’s it. No other wordplay to speak of. Where is the clever wordsmith Ace, who planted hints in the text left and right, that we knew so well? This writing style just doesn’t match up with the other blinds - Even the “Winter Break Is Going Downhill Fast” blind had a few witty wordplays tossed in. Not to mention the complete lack of mentions of “boy band" that we’ve learned to expect. Hell, at this rate, looks like Ace might have picked up a coke habit too!
We don’t know if Ace found this post on Tumblr (which would be strange as the blogger informed me that it was untagged and hidden under a read more) or was sent some sort of tip about it (either from someone who read the post on Tumblr, or possibly someone who had firsthand knowledge of the incident, which honestly is pretty unlikely as it happened MONTHS ago). I honestly don’t know what to make of these blinds. It’s clear Ace wanted hits, and it’s clear he got them, but as to their credibility, I just really can’t say for sure. The timing is incredibly strange, the content even stranger, and there is absolutely zero concrete evidence. I’m just going to leave it at that.
2. “Backstage with Sniffy“ - November 4th, 2013
image
*heavy sigh* Again, with the coke rumors.
Not much to this one, either. There are two references of “one” (one young singer and one of those fans), the reference of “in a private hotel room with friends” (probable throwback to the “Band Hotel Drama" series), and the picture of the very green, very Harry Styles-esque eyeball.
Upon first reading the blind, I immediately thought it was about Justin Bieber. But Ace clearly couldn’t have that, so he threw in the hint at the bottom that it was not the Biebs. The few clues we do have are at the very least pointing in Harry Styles’ general direction - Especially with the huge green eye staring you down.
However, I don’t give any of these blinds credence until I am presented with actual proof. (And I’m no drug expert, but I imagine a serious cocaine addiction would begin to show in Harry’s features/behavior on stage.) When Ace gets some actual evidence to support all these coke rumors, then we’ll talk. But for now, like any unsolved blind, it’s all up in the air.
NEW: Here’s an interesting theory by smokesandyou about Ace’s sudden personality shift, beginning with the “Winter Break Is Going Downhill Fast” blind all the way through “Backstage with Sniffy.”
OTHER/MISCELLANEOUS
Blinds where Harry is mentioned:
The Seven Celebrity Dwarfs [Part 3] - August 23rd, 2013
Moody at the VMAs - August 26th, 2013
Other past speculated blinds I did not analyze:
“Boy Bander Is Undecided“ - April 12th, 2012
This blind came shortly after “Boy Banders Are Hiding A Secret.”
“Beware of the Grouper” - April 23rd, 2012
Ish. My bets are on this being about someone from The Wanted. They’ve actually admitted to shit like this.
“Fake Relationship Starts Next Month“ - July 9th, 2012
This was speculated to be about Niall/Demi Lovato, but that ship never sailed!
“Pop Star Should Watch the Waistline” - October 2nd, 2012
Lol. Oh, Niall.
“Boy Bander Has A Secret Lover“ - December 3rd, 2012
I guess since the guy in the picture resembles Niall slightly, everyone thought this blind was about him? Who knows. If Niall was bedding a porn star back then, I’d give him props.
“Pop Star Can’t Decide” - April 8th, 2013
This one is much too general to properly analyze, but I’m including it because the source is listed as the Daily Mirror (of UK origin), which led to many people guessing the 1D boys.
So there you have it, folks! Keep an eye out for future updates. And if you have questions, comments, or want to submit a blind for analysis, feel free to message me!
xoxo, sweetenoughandfaraway

EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS   ——
As of recently, I’ve found myself in a rut: My family is 400,000 USD in debt, and this is only to cover what we owe to some of my mother’s family. Long story short, my father recently involved himself in an affair in which he shovelled all of our money into his relationship with another woman, which has left the family not only emotionally devasted, but bankrupt and deep in debt. My mother is not working currently, and currently we don’t know if my father will return to work or even support us if he does.
I'm already employed as a tutor at my community college, and looking to get a second and possibly a third job. In the meantime, there’s still no promise of stability. I can no longer hope to transfer to a four year university – all I am looking to hopefully help my mother cover some of our debt, and ensure that we can eat in the meantime.
I will be doing ART for anyone interested. As well as ICONS && PROMOS && THEME BGs for RP blogs who would like that!
ART COMMISSIONS.
Here are examples of my ART. All works are arranged from oldest to newest.
SKETCHES – detailed, rough sketches. Price: $5 for up to three characters. Tack on $1 per character. Examples: https://imgur.com/a/zNdnk
LINED – clean lines, though they're more time consuming for me. Price: $6 per character, add $3 per character. Examples: https://imgur.com/a/SCulh
MORE COMPLETE –  coloured + lighting. Price: $10, add $5 per character. Examples, all a half a year outdated: https://imgur.com/a/DRugF
COMPLEX – basically the category above, but with bg and detail. Price: $20 for up to two characters + bg, add $5 per character. Examples: https://imgur.com/a/ReMxc
RP MATERIALS.
And as for examples and pricing for my RP materials (you will receive all .png files and .psd files so you can make edits and future icons yourself!):
RP PROMOS – have some preferred graphics for me to use if you want, though it’s not necessary. You must source your graphics on your blog. Price: $5-10 dollars depending on complexity. Examples: https://imgur.com/a/bNX6I
ICONS – have a source designated, whether they be comics, film. You may also provide a batch of unedited icons if you have them. Price: $5 for 30 simple icons and $10 for 75. $10 for a 30 with a stylised border and $20 for 75 stylised. Examples: https://imgur.com/a/makJS
RP THEMES – please have a theme code prepared, and some graphics if preferred, but I will basically create a background in Photoshop for you. Price: $15 per theme. Examples: https://imgur.com/a/kG8Gv
&& THANK YOU!
Even if you can’t buy anything on the commissions list, anything you can spare is helpful! If you have even a dollar to spare, please give my paypal.me a go, and I will do my best to repay you in some way if you leave me contact information to get back to you on!
In the meantime, contact me at < [email protected] > or DM me for questions or discussion! I’m always open to price negotiation.

one Offical and Fancy™ price guide n all for my commissions!
Check out more of my work and examples at AllSketchesNoNonsense, my Art Only blog

What I will draw:
Furries!
Robots!*

NSFW!*
Just about anything as long as it isn’t hurting anyone.
What I will not draw

Things to keep in mind when commissioning me
-If you want me to draw specifically in a more cartoony or more realistic style, make sure you specify. otherwise I’ll simply draw whichever I feel suits the character best based on the reference material I’m given. If you see a particular piece of art I’ve done in the past and very specifically want that style to be emulated, provide that reference with the reference material of the character.
-Lineless art style is available though it may make the comission take longer and will add $5 to the price.
-I can make an RPGMaker VX Ace character sprite set and/or talk sprites for you, just need to ask and negotiate a price and all.
-You pay after the art is done, but before I give you the finished piece. this is mostly insurance on my part that if something happens that makes it so I am unable to finish it or anything, you don’t lose any money. and I don’t give you the finished piece until I’m paid to ensure you don’t run off without paying. nothing personal, just keeping the both of us safe.
-I only take payment via Paypal. Only in special cases will I take other forms of payment.
-if you’re REALLY desperate to get weird porn from me, you can pay a “I can never post this or look my family in the eye again” fee. Once again a case by case basis but prices would start around $10. Me going far out of my comfort zone ain’t cheap.

I’m pretty sure that some of you are still playing Square Enix’s previous FF online game, Final Fantasy XI. So, great news everyone as “Amelila” has released a new graphics overhaul megapack for it.
This graphics mod significantly improves the Final Fantasy XI’s textures, transforming its blurry and ugly visuals into something that is actually pleasing to the eye, that is actually able to compete with titles released a few years ago. This mod also includes optional HD Bump Maps which will greatly improve your gaming visual experience, though they require a beefy graphics card (according to the author).
The Final Fantasy XI graphics overhaul mod is 277MB in size and you can download it from here. Amelila also claimed that this megapack will always be kept updated as new mods are released, and will be distributed free of charge to everyone.
In order to celebrate its release, Amelila has also released a teaser trailer that you can watch below.
Enjoy!

Hairstyles in the Sims. Can things ever get stranger?
Some people think thehair that comes with the base game feels a bit too bland, while some don’t like the way hair looks in vanilla Sims 4 at all.
Thankfully hundreds of modders from all over the world have created custom hairstyles to freshen things up.
It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for the hairstyles for male sims or females or even kids– you’ve come to the right place for all of it!
I’ve divided this list in two parts; the first will give you a breakdown of the best female hair mods for Sims 4, and the second part will tell you all about the best hair mods for male Sims in the game.
Choose wisely and dress up accordingly.
Girl Hairstyle Mods
12. Jealousy Hair
This long hairstyle takes a spot on my list because it reminds me of one of the coolest hairstyles that already comes in the game; but it’s far better and much more detailed.
I would dare say that this mod could easily replace the one that comes with vanilla Sims 4, but some of you might prefer a more traditional look.
In any case, in terms of long hairs with a tail that runs from back to front, you’ll struggle to find one as good as this.
11. Vapor Hair
When you’re going to rate hair mods, you have to understand that transparency plays almost as much of a part as the quality of textures and the design itself.
Rammstein feuer frei free mp3 downloads. As such, this one takes a spot because it ticks both boxes quite perfectly.
It’s a short hairstyle that suits almost every type of lady, and the transparency between the strands feels surprisingly accurate.
Tumblr media
10. Ominous Hair
This mod is fantastically detailed, and it offers a unique look.
Actually similar to only one hairstyle that I can recall from the game.
With a small bun on top of the head and some loose hair all over the place, this gives you a stylish look without many similar options.
There are some minor transparency issues but I’m forgiving the issues with this mod because it can’t be easy to model such a unique hairstyle; especially when loose hairs are not intended to be a thing in Sims 4.
9. Paradox Hair
This neat little hairstyle can be used by ladies of all ages, and it comes in a staggering 27 different colors to add plenty of variety to your Sims world.
Try out some of them and see which one fits your Sim the most.
This is a long hairstyle with a ponytail, and it’s detailed enough to be one of the best I’ve seen for the game.
8. Runaway Hair
Detailed and beautiful, the long Runaway Hair is by far one of my favorite hair mods to put on.
Granted, I think the hair itself looks pretty good in real life too. And that might’ve played a part on my decision.
But hey: that doesn’t take away from the astonishing level of work that went into this creation.
7. Prisma Hair
Am I going crazy, because I don’t think there’s a single hairstyle as long as this one in the base game.
I’m trying to recall but I just can’t think of any!
Those who love to see their female Sims with long hair might want to check this one out.
The level of detail is fantastic, it comes with plenty of different colors, and what’s even better is that the hair drops to the front of the body as well as a bit to the back.
The serial number and the product key are easy to find. Note: If you have a maintenance contract, you will also be able to search for previous versions of the software, as well as the serial numbers and product keys. If you have got a subscription, the serial number remains the same, irrespective of which version. For example, installing AutoCAD 2018, as either a point product or from the Autodesk industry collection, requires product key 001J1, but installing AutoCAD 2018 from the AutoCAD Design Suite Premium 2018 requires product key 768J1.

For 2014 versions and later, you can find them in Autodesk Account, on the Management tab. Depending on your license type, you may not need a serial number to launch your product.
It doesn’t seem to have much transparency issues given that it’s mostly uniform in color, so that’s an added plus.
6. High Life Hair
Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about short hair options.
And this one takes the cake as one of my favorites for the game.
I mostly play with male sims, I do admit that. But I have to tell you that those of you who want to see their Sims rock a short hairstyle with much more details than the ones that come with the base game are going to want to try this one out.
It can be used by Sims of all ages(starting Teen) but it does fit better on Young Adults, in my opinion. Encyclopedia britannica software download.
Yet it’s up to you to decide who rocks it!
5. Envy Hair
Another hairstyle with a unique design, this time being one that is far more withdrawn and less loose than others.
But I figure this can work pretty well on entrepreneurs and businesswoman Sims.
It just seems like a perfect fit for them, you know?
It’s that classic short hairstyle that seemed to be quite popular in the 80s, in which the hair wasn’t really short per se… but it was made to look like it was.
A picture is worth a thousand words though – so check it out!
4. Perfect Illusion
The creator of this mod used Lady Gaga as a reference. And I think the result turned out to be quite accurate.
This hair is super complex and you’ll have a Sim rocking quite a unique style like a rockstar.
Although this type of hair is already included in the base game (or a very similar one, at least). So it may not add a totally unique twist, but it’s worth a download if it could fit with your Sim’s style.
3. Parallel Hair
Wait, braids? I mean, DOUBLE BRAIDS?
How come these are not a thing on the base game?
This one takes the classic “good girl” look to the next level by adding this fantastic hairstyle, which can be used by Sims of all ages.
The best thing about the mod is that the braids are compatible with most of the hats that your Sim can wear too.
Which means it won’t interfere with your quest of creating that hat-loving personality you’ve always wanted.
2. Eden Hair
Another extremely long hair design takes the number two spot on my list. Mainly because I really love long hairs and the base game didn’t provide us with as many options as I would’ve wanted.
In any case, this one flows like a cascade through the left side of your Sim’s body and goes all the way down to the waist.
By far one of the longest hair mods that you’ll find, and it comes in dozens of different colors.
1. Nightcrawler Hair
Look, as much as I love long hair in this game, I couldn’t really avoid putting this mod as the number one on my list.
Fantastically well detailed as well as brilliantly executed in terms of transparency and compatibility issues, the Nightcrawler hair is as modern as it is eccentric.
This hairstyle fits women of all sorts, but housewives or business ladies might look particularly good with this.
You decide, though, as this mod puts the choices in your own hands.
Guy Hairstyle Mods
10. Nicholas Hair
A simple short design that is widely used by men in today’s world, the Nicholas Hair mod makes quite a fantastic addition to the game.
Well, mostly if you’re looking to add a style that suits almost every type of serious-looking Sim.
If you’re playing with a different type, like one that looks to live more of a bohemian lifestyle, then keep reading. There’s something here for you too.
9. Haunting Hairstyles
Shorter hair on the sides doesn’t always have to be as noticeable in order for it to look stylish.
And this hair mod shows exactly why.
Hair that is well-combed is sure to attract a lot of attention, and the Haunting Hairstyles mod will add exactly that to the game.
Plus you’ll have the option to paint various colors thanks to the mod creator’s hard efforts.
8. Hair N4
If you’re into the modern hairstyles usually rocked by sports stars and celebrities, then this mod is going to fit perfectly.
There isn’t one quite like it in the main game, as most that come with The Sims tend to have either an exaggerated mohawk or simply not as much on the sides.
This cut is as balanced as it gets. And you’re going to love the way your Sim looks with it.
As many others in this list, it also comes with color options that’ll give you an extra touch of variety!
7. Like Lust Hair
Are you trying to have your Sim look better than the rest?
Are you tired of the way some of the game’s basic hairstyles look, but you still want a stylish and not-so-cartoonish hair put on top of your male Sim’s head?
This one is like an improved version of the last mod, and in my opinion it looks even better.
You’re going to love watching your Sim rock it; I’m sure of it.
It comes with custom shadowing too, which also enhances realism by a landslide compared to others on this list.
6. Wavves
Download Vtstudio Final Mod Pack Nsuni 7z
Those who have wavy hair might not feel as represented in The Sims 4 community, well as much as those with straight hair.
So it’s time to put a stop to it with the Wavves Hairstyle mod.
This modern update takes a different approach than the rest by adding hair with waves to the game.
But beware – you’re going to need a good computer to make this one look its best. But again, this is The Sims we’re talking about… not exactly a GPU hog.
5. Hysteria
Faded on the sites and very long on the right side of the head, combed to the left.
Quite a unique look, if I may say so myself.
This is the typical hairstyle in forms of modern advertising rocked by those models looking brand-new the day of the photoshoot.
Wish we could all pull this off…
In any case, the hairstyle should suit any man quite nicely. In real life or in Sims land.

4. Electric
Stylish, modern, and worthy of any businessman.
Tumblr media
This short hairstyle looks quite good on Sims of all backgrounds.
But I have to say that it’s quite a fantastic one to try on teens or young adults. I think it fits them quite well, but I’m sure you’ll love the way it looks on any wearer.
Plus it’s free so what do you have to lose?
3. Darko
Another modern style that starts with a faded cut on the sides.
But this one has more hair atop of the head, much like the original one that comes with vanilla Sims 4.
If you look closely you’ll notice this one is far more detailed though!
2. Blackout
Tumblr media
Feel like a true samurai with the blackout hairstyle.
Which is actually quite a longer hairstyle than you might think on first glance.
Well-rounded and a bit messy, this hair add-on definitely offers something that no other hairstyle in vanilla even comes close to.
1. Psycho
I’m not really sure why most male models used for Sims hairstyles look so weird. But hey, I’m sure Maxis has a good reason.
