Quick positivity post for trans people who didn’t get more conventionally attractive after they transitioned!

Trans people who look ‘worse’ or ‘the same’ are wonderful and look great actually.

Conventional beauty standards are exclusionary and flawed, and shouldn’t be the goal anyway- the point of transitioning isn’t to ‘glow up’ by becoming attractive, it’s to become more comfortable with yourself.

Trans people shouldn’t be expected to suddenly become conventionally attractive as part of their transition anyway (look as weird and non-cis as you want! it’s your body!), and photos of ’ugly’ pre-transition people who look ‘better’ after transitioning should not be used to justify to cis people why people should be allowed to transition.

Look the way you want (or the way you pass), not the way beauty standards want you to look! The endless quest to become conventionally attractive is a trap and you don’t have to fall for it when you transition.

S/O to a few of my favorite TS3CC Creators

I know this community is small, and therefore doesn't get as much love and attention as it deserves, but know that it is alive and well, much like my love for it, and it's many thanks to these ppl for keeping it fresh and fun even today.

@simtanico literally what would my sims be without you and your amazing sliders, slider fixes, and conversions.

@rollo-rolls you always work so hard to keep our sims looking stylish, I know a lotta people in this community appreciate you as much as I do!

@johziii you put so much love into your CC as you do your sims, homes and gameplay, you're truly the whole package!

@sim-songs an absolute legend for helping revive the Maxis Match ts3 community!

@nectar-cellar an absolute legend, period.

@imamiii idk how you do it, but you make this game look how it probably would had it been released today. Whether it's your gameplay posts, or your CC, I know when I see your post on my dash, I'm bound to be blown away.

@sourlemonsimblr still can't tell whether we're playing the same game, bc everything you post looks like The Sims 10, but I am so glad you're willing to share your CC with us, so maybe one day we will be playing the same game, lol.

@pleaseputnamehere just thought I'd let you know that I kiss your nosemasks goodnight as I tuck them into bed.

@xiasimla an amazing talented and devoted creator all around, every download post is a WIN.

@martassimsbook you keep my love for ts3's buy/build mode alive!

@billsims-cc ty for never giving up on us. 😭😭😭

@bioniczombie for sharing your amazing conversions, and helping run one of my favorite ts3cc finds blogs!

@satellite-sims although you aren't too active right now, I miss you, and I love your conversions sm. The extra work you put into making them the absolute best quality, just like all your posts is so loved and appreciated.

@simbouquet your mods and fixes are such a MUST, you always know exactly what this game needs, and execute it like a pro.

@phoebejaysims another amazing modder keeping this game truly interesting, ty so much for your dedication.

@criisolatex you're like some ethereal being sent to Earth on a mission to make ts3 the best it can be, and you're kind enough to share it with us.

@nemiga-sims-archive you pop out every once and a while like an all year round Santa giving us presents to throw into our games. TY!

@olomaya you work so hard to expand and improve and also make the gameplay in ts3 a lot more interesting.

@twinsimming you know you carry ts3 simblr, right? 💕

@thesweetsimmer111 besides being just the most talented animator I've ever seen in any modding community, your dedication to the youngest and ignored age groups is most admirable, ty.

@flotheory yet another talented and devoted modder giving ts3 the love and attention it deserves. I just know the devs would be so proud.

@greenplumbboblover you've always got something big up your sleeve, your ambition knows no bounds, and the ts3 community is so lucky to have you.

I'm likely forgetting some folks, so I'll probably add some more when I remember, and ty again everyone on this list for working so hard to keep this game alive, and fun, and freeeeeee!

sorry in advance if this is rambly or doesn't make sense. it's 3am and i just have a stupid amount of love for smosh in my heart rn and i wanted to make a lil appreciation post 💕

first off i wanna say: happy birthday smosh! i can't believe this silly youtube channel is already 18 years old. it's hard to exactly describe how much smosh means to me. i discovered the channel nearly 10 years ago (my anniversary is on the 25th!) and even at the times in my life when i wasn't actively watching smosh, they always had such a special place in my heart. ian and anthony have always been able to make me laugh in a way that other channels have never really been able to, and it has been such an absolute delight to see them working together again.

ever since june 20th my life has really been centered around smosh and it's been amazing. if you told me a year ago that this is what my life would look like i never would've believed you. i am so unbelievably grateful for all of the joy, laughter, and opportunities smosh has brought me since anthony's return. i wanna say how happy i am that smoshblr exists and was so welcoming as soon as i made my blog. i honestly don't know if i would've stuck with smosh so strongly if i didn't have this great community to chat with and rediscover my love of this channel with.

and then of course, smoshblr and my friends here led me to joining the smoshcord which has been my absolute home these past few months. i have made so many incredible friends on that server and i wouldn't trade it for the world. all of the neighbors mean sm to me and i absolutely cannot wait to meet a bunch of them at vidcon 2024. also! i am still so honored that erica from the team over at smosh chose me (as well as a few other amazing ppl!) as a community mod for smoshcord. it feels so amazing to be able to give back to the smosh community, for how much it has given me over the years. and just to be recognized by smosh as a respected member of the community means the absolute world to me.

along those lines, while i'm being sappy i think i'm allowed to be a lil selfish and say ?? holy shit if you told 12 year old me that i would go on to have regular conversations with anthony padilla i would tell you you're absolutely insane. it has been such an absolute wild ride but it's so fucking cool that ian and anthony (ok mostly anthony but i think ian too bc of streams n stuff!) know who i am. i have an insane amount of love in my heart for these boys and it's so nice to interact with them on a slightly more personal level. it still feels like an absolute dream to even see them sit next to each other, let alone sit next to each other while saying my name.

but anyways i just want to say thank you smosh. thank you for all of the love and laughter and hope you have given me. you've shown me that friendship DOES truly always win. i am so fucking proud of these boys for mending their relationship and coming through such a hard time to create something genuinely beautiful.

anyways i wanna shoutout @smoshmonker @squig-s @yourinterestisnotcringe @lilac-hecox @kubabamia @only-frann for being just so lovely and fun to talk smosh with ♡ i am so grateful i met you all and that smosh brought us together like this! (sorry if there's any other neighborhood friends that i simply forgot the tumblr urls for ilyy)

I've a question if you're willing to share your secrets... how do you make your GIFs? They're stunning! 💞

fjsdlkfsd hiii Tally's mod author. (love him sm) thank you so much! i really enjoy making my gifs. ♡ i use photoshop to make them. i've been toying with the idea of posting what i do step by step, just to show my own personal process. it might be a bit chaotic, since i tend to be all over the place when creating them, but i can put something together if people would like to see it. ♡ @/utopianoverlord also has an amazing gif tutorial here, which is super helpful for anyone beginning to make them. i do things a little differently, so i'm willing to post my own gif making process as well sometime this weekend or the next, and tag those interested. ♡

hi k. i really wanna have fun w my sims again. i can spend literal hours in CAS but after that…nothing. any advice for developing OCs in game and starting a legacy? starting is always hardest for me, pls help 😭

hi anon bby! this is a great question, although idk if i can offer tht much help bc tbh, i be struggling w this all the time. however, here’s a couple tips tht always help me when i get bored/in a rut and want to play the game again:

1. Using In Game features

Is there an aspiration you’ve never played through? have you played through strangeville or completed the haunted house challenge with paranormal stuff (if you own those packs)? sometimes the easiest way to start for me is trying something in the game that i’ve never done before. a little while ago, i realized i never completely the Komerobi Sight-Seer aspiration, so i made a new sim and started to play through it. it was fun to do new things, and a reminder that theres lowkey so many little features that i be sleepin on. the more packs you have ofc theres more things to try, so keep tht in mind.

2. Using a challenge created by someone in the sims community

9 times out of 10, if i’m in a rut, i will start playing a rags to riches gameplay. it just has a gameplay that is always a litle chaotic, but entertaining and u can really make it turn out in so many different directions. using challenges that other simmers make can help widen ur horizions on different gameplay and can give you generations of challenges/aspirations/sims to explore. some off the top of my head are not so berry 1 or 2, globetrotter, postcard legacy, i’m a lover challenge, 100 baby, alphabet baby challenge.

fun fact: Zenya was originally a sim I made to play eco lifestyle rags to riches, and she’s become my main oc/story main character so, anything can happen!

3. Creating/Finding your perfect save file

i stall on starting gameplay bc i hate the default lots/townies a lot of the time, and thinking about starting over makes me lose motivation. ive taken time to create a couple save files w new lots, townies and sims of mine that make it a fun setting for any kind of gameplay i end up doing. add your fave lots, create your own lore for the neighborhood and the sims who live there, and make sure everything is playable and suits your personal style. if making your own from scratch is tew much work (bc trust me, it is), i also have used ratsave by @ratboysims and lemonade save by @helloavocadooo many times and enjoy them both! also if anyone has reccs for save files pls lmk!

4. Mods

idk if u use mods but i love gameplay mods!! whenever i get a new mod, i play around for a while and test out each feature of it. combining mods together and finding which ones enhance your gameplay is one way to get you engaged in playing again! mod recc list coming soon <33

I hope these tips help you or anyone else! if u need links for things lmk, im not at home rn but i will try to update as i go. if u need any help pls don’t hesitate to reach out!! and if anyone else has some tips they use, pls reply below! a lot of y’all have amazing gameplay and legacies that i admire sm so i’ll also take any advice!

[bombshelllblonde]

heyyyyyy im backkk!!!!!!!

invading ur ask box again lol, sorry!!!!!!

this might start being a thing

ANYWYAS

i totally forgot to mention last time hiw muvh i love lenny, mary-beth and hosea and tilly and MOLLY O SHEA omg

the drinking mission w lenny is one of my favorites, and I LOVE PLAYING DOMINOES W TILLY MY GIRL SHE IS THE BEST

AND SADIE I LOVE HER SM

Like yea gurl!!!!! kill the o driscolls!! kill them all!! avenge ur pookie!!! rahhh!!!

Mary-beth and kieran are my blorbs. my pookies. my babbygirls. my schmookums

molly o'shea that woman that she is i love her so so so much

i feel so bad for her tho w her fights w dutch :(

speaking of dutch, idk i have like a neutral (slightly negative) view of him???

i dislike how he treats molly, and w how he treats mary-beth?? (inst dutch also like 40-50 and mary-beth like 20-smth? idk im probably rlly biased in this lol)

ALSO another reason dutch be chosing Micah the rat over what is his basically adopted son??

im definitely biased in this but wtv lmao

but he hasnt really done much so i dont hate him, but i dont like him either

moving on, do yk if theres any way to explore blackwater + south of it while playing as arthur? i wanna get all the dinosaur bones and legendary animals !!

i replayed the 'americans at rest' mission, yk w bill (i think) javier and charles at the bar (towards the beginning of the game)

its so fucking funny i cannot

arthur walks in, uses his amazing charmer skills (LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER) and then bill runs in, punches a guy therefore starting a bar fight, HERE COME CHARLES WITH THE STEEL CHAIR, arthur gets his ass kicked and then kicks ass and nearly beats the guy half to death

yk when jack grows up and tells epople abt his dear ol uncle arthur that uncle lore drop boutta be CRAZYYYY

did i mention charles throwing a chair? its my favorite part could you tell

i have a pretty neutral view of john marston ig, i kinda hope he steps up and gets the stick outta his ass, starts being a father to jack or smth but im trying not to get my hopes up lmao

thats it for now!!!! hope u have a nice day!!!!

(thanks for responding to these btw! lmk if im bothering u tho, ty for letting me ramble abt my hyperfixation lmao)

okay lsitennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn rdr2 has been mt hyper fixation since July of 2022 when my brother in law gave me his old ps4 and the game and i don’t think ive shut up about it since i started playing. My entire personality is rdr2. And my current outlet/therapy is writing my rdr2 fanfiction

it’s gotten to the point where my family has literally started buying me cowboy/outlaw stuff. when I was a teenager i loved owls so everyone got me owl things. now im obsessed with cowboys at 26 years old and every gift I receive has something to do with outlaws

My sister got me a cameo of Roger Clark talking to me as Arthur for my 25th bday and literally nothing has ever topped that. It was the most amazing gift ever and now I have a video of Arthur Morgan saying my name and talking to me about my horses!!!! It’s so amazing I watch it all the time

unfortunately there isn’t any way to explore blackwater as Arthur unless you get like mods or something. the AI immediately roll up and the bounty hunters shoot him dead if you try to get into west Elizabeth

do you know how to play dominoes??? Literally ive only ever played 5 finger fillet in that game because i cant fucking play dominoes or poker bc i don’t know how

also Tilly is amazing just wait until later in the game. there’s a mission that really solidified the love i have for Arthur being the protective older brother

Dutch is sooooo complex and i think that’s why i love him so much. i won’t get too deep into my feels for him just yet bc i want you to keep going without me saying anything but once you get farther into the game we can talk about him!!!

Hosea and Dutch are literally my gay fathers. I love them so much. Their love for each other literally makes my tummy flip I love it so so so much

Also I’d let Charles hit me with a chair too, tbh. Love of my life

I never disliked Molly but I didn’t like her either, I think she’s just too much of a loud mouth. Felt like to me she could have not been in the game and it wouldn’t have changed much. Idk

And John’s complexity we can talk about after you progress a lil further. I honestly don’t want to spoil anything or give it away unless you don’t care about spoilers. But I’m just gonna stay quiet until you let me know 😂😂😂😂

[monsterhunting]

HOLY HELL DUDE I JUST FINISHED CH1 OF I BET YOU THINK ABOUT ME AND. AND. OMGGGGG i adore them in ur writing style sm !!!!!!!!!!! if that makes any amount of discernable sense !!!!!!!!! also ur stoncy spidey steve au has been in my marked for later FOREVER i just need to find time to sit down and read it all in one sitting and i didn't know u had a tumblr until now bc im one of the stonathanweek mods lol . but i find it really funny that i loved ur omgcp fics in that era like ur nurseydex was. chef's kiss ! and then i lost my old ao3 account and lost all ur fics BUT i have come to find u again thru stonathan thats so real. anyway ur an amazing writer that's what this is abt i adore ur stoncy and nurseydex ok thx !! <3

[skkangstzine]

hi there! i'd love to have my writing featured in the zine, but i realize all of my writing pieces are much longer than 3,000 words... most of my one-shots are complete stories that range from 5k-10k words and I have a multi chapter fic with chapters over 5k words each. would it be possible to submit a sample that's kind of like an abridged version of the fics i currently have? ie: a longer angst fic that i've parsed down from 5k to 3k words? or would the mod team be willing to take a look at longer pieces? thank you sm this looks amazing!

Hello, and thank you for the question!

After some discussion, we have decided that we will accept abridged/modified versions of your pre-existing, longer fics to count as a ‘complete fic’ in your samples. This sample will be subject to the same scrutiny as all other samples will be: we will take care to assess the writer’s ability to create a coherent, cohesive story within a given word count. In this instance, we will be looking to see if the abridged fic retains its coherency when it is shortened.

We would, however, recommend that you use the time between now and when contributor apps close (presently September 21st, 2023) to create a complete 2-3k fic to use as a sample. We do, however, understand that life can be very busy, so we will not make writing an entirely new fic a requirement.

We hope this answers your question! If you need further clarification, please ask another of reach out to us through our Inbox or Retrospring.

video games i'm loving rn

night in the woods - emotional story game about mental illness and change, and the struggle with dealing with that. you play as mae, a cat who has dropped out of college and returns to her home town, and there is a cast of loveable characters.

omori - tw for depression, anxiety and su1c1de. you play as omori. you are stuck in whitespace, but it is a pixelated story game about mental illness and trauma, and will give you trauma...

life is strange - story game where your choices matter. you play as max, a student at a posh private school who discovers she has the ability to rewind into the past and change her actions. love the characters and its nice to have my choices mean something (that sounds so melodramatic im sorry.)

the last of us part one - a zombie apocolypse game with found family. has some gore and is sad, but is a beautiful story and i luv ellie and joel. sad man is smuggling hyper child across america in a post apocolyptic world with zombies caused by a fungal infection. it just came out for pc.

undertale - not sure how to describe this. has found family i guess and a massive fandom. you play as you, the main character, and you are exploring a world??? and you can choose to be merciful or aggressive in this world. the music is haunting and beautiful, and it seems fun so far.

sally face - horror platformer with found family. you play as sally face, a young boy who has a facial disfigurment and has recently moved bc of the death of his mother. you meet a cast of fun characters and it is a story game, but it is very interactive and scary. i luv sal and larry's relationship and the dialogue feels so real and well developed.

minecraft - a classic cube sandbox game where you are placed into a world and must survive, you can do anythign basically. ive been playing with mods - all the mods 8 rn - and its super fun, it adds a freshness to the game that it has lacked (ive been playing it for 8 years lmao)

hades - a roguelike dungeon crawling combat game. you are the son of hades and are trying to escape the underworld with the help of the gods of olympus. it is combat based, but the story is fun and the game has good music. you are meant to die and repeat your escape attempts, and the game is interesting to learn.

celeste - a pixelated platformer. amazing trans rep and has a storyline i guess but is mainly platforming. i luv madeline and this game has the most amazing soundtrack. the controls are fun and easy to grasp and the fandom is so nice!!

legend of zelda: breath of the wild - a classic. love the open world, but im personally finding it too tricky. i like the game mechanics but my weapon's are constantly breaking and i am dying sm.

sims 4 - i have been playing the new 'growing together' expansion pack and it is so fun! the infants are so cute and it adds a whole layer of childhood. i have been addicted to cc shopping lately, and am playing with a few mods too!

[crayonverse]

Alright nobody asked or actually cares but here’s a bunch of my physical video games that I love

(long post)

Starting off weak: a bunch of my normal sims stuff. I have a lot of the sims 3 packs but they’re at my dads house (Along my with supernatural s1-15). i also have more sims 4 because i, stupidly, paid money for them (and i also dont understand how to pirate the rest)

Fantasy Life (best toh game ever I love it so much also one of the characters was accidentally trans coded please play this game🙏🙏h). also i could never complete the Bratz ponyz. i just kept cleaning the horses and then gave up lmao

Xbox games I can’t play because I don’t have an Xbox at my Mums and the one at my dads broke. I hope to find a new one sometime🫶. but also Viva Pinata is a brilliant game and is the best ever actually. everyone needs to a look a whirlim forever

Most goated Pokémon game ever. Real. God it’s so much fun I love this game sm. It was one of my first ever Pokémon games and I loved just running around and making friends. Truly amazing

Not games but movies I have. That arceus + the Lucario and mew movie were my only Pokémon media n shit. I rewatched them sm

When wii party and worms battle came out you know the sleepover got so good. the diseny enchatned princess was my childhood i just kept making a new princess and running around doing nothing

Switch games!!!!!!! I really like Pokémon games and eevee is my favourite little guy ever. i can never get far in ary bc my switch doesnt have enough space to keep playing :( it does seem cute with the small time i can play through

Scribblenauts has been like. One of my fav game series. Maxwell ur a sweet little man and I love him. also nintendogs those games have been so cute throughout my life. i love animals

i also consisently buy every single one of each of these games in their series bc they always slap so hard

The imagine series is also a staple those fucking things r COOL. ive just recently restarted my tomodachi island <3

PS3 stuff. Me and my dad used to play Rayman together

imagine teacher was my fav out of the imagine games i have. i got so invested in those fake preschoolers (the pottery level is the suckiest tho i hate it). moshi monsters cool tho i like it

Mod Nation was my mysims racing since i didnt have it and its. actually kinda fun. i think it also had an online element but idk if the servers are still active at this point. bugsnax is also revoulutionary play it play it play it play it

diseny universe was like a big game i kept trying to play with my friends but i think they fucking hated it LOL

my time at portia goated (saving up for the sequel rn)

outer worlds was also one of the only games i full on cried at the end. also at the time i ID'd as a asexual lesbian and Parvati, who was an asexual lesbian, made me feel very seen at the time. shes still my fav companion from that game.

lego dc supervillains has been my fav lego game so far and i hope more lego games are like it in the future because it was great

my lbp stack💪💪💪 i havent done much of A Big Adventure yet bc its more of an adventure game than the others and also you cant save normally in the game For Some Reason. like you cant just. save and quit. idk why that isnt in the game.

sorry for showing you all danganronpa

this has been my most recent video game. my dad went garage sale hunting and came back with two of these so i just stole one out of his boxes and took it home. havent played it yet but it looks cool

my sims games 💪💪💪💪💪💪 yes the fact that skyheroes is on the ps3 does in fact annoy me greatly no i will not tell my lovely mother that at all

ok yeah thats all the ones i want to show. i do have a bunch of other stuff but theyre not that cool

[aziraphales-library]

Hey, I love you guys sm! Thanks for the amazing work

Could I ask for more kid fic recs? Especially if they include Warlock too.

Also, if you wouldn't mind, some queer!warlock & the ineffables recs would be perfect!

I've read almost everything there is in your tags regarding this tropes and I'm struggling to find new ones by myself.

Thx! <3

There are only a finite number of fics, and at this point I think we have just about all of them on our #kid fic tag! I have managed to scrape up a few more, a couple of which include queer Warlock...

(Re)Found Family by N_N_Nics_s_s (T)

Warlock knew four things. One, They were in Soho. Two, they needed to get back to the room they were renting. Three, they had no idea how to get back. Four, their phone was dead and they had a cord but not a battery pack. Maybe they could ask one of the shop owners if they could plug in their phone in their shop? Yeah, that seemed like a good plan. Or: Warlock gets lost in Soho and goes into one A.Z. Fell & Co. and ends up with an unexpected reunion.

When 'Baby A' Grew Up: Soho by seekeronthepath (T)

Now that he's reunited with Crowley and Aziraphale, Warlock starts figuring out who HE is. Who they are? Something like that, anyway.

Devil's backbone by Joseph_Amadeus (T)

Single father Ezra Fell and a single father Anthony Crowley meet when Ezra needs his plumbing fixed. There's no innuendo here, none at all! It's just that they... Get along. They get along very well.

what you feel is what you are by suzukiblu (T)

Nanny Ashtoreth and Brother Francis retire at the same time, without any warning or anything. Warlock doesn’t need a nanny anymore and it doesn’t matter who the gardener is, but . . . But they retire without any warning, and they don’t even say goodbye. Not to him, at least.

Creative Writing for Creative Children and Panicked Nannies by munchmulch (T)

Unsurprisingly, it only takes a few moments for pounding feet to be heard from the hall before a harried looking man skids to the entrance of the room, halting with a jerk before actually stepping in. “Adam! You can’t just run off like that! I told you that they’re not going to want a bloo—“ he cuts himself off with a strangled sound, “blasted adult sitting in on a club!” --- Aziraphale is as prepared for the new school year as he can be-- what he's not prepared for is an awkward man in sunglasses who's about to pull Aziraphale into not only his own life, but the lives of Aziraphale's students.

Secret Santa by AppleSeeds (T)

On the advice of his therapist, Crowley signs up to be a 'Secret Santa', an anonymous gift-giver for a community initiative aiming to bring some Christmas joy into the lives of people going through a hard time. He's partnered with Aziraphale, a librarian who has lost his home and bookshop in a fire. Through the power of Christmas Magic, Crowley ends up meeting Aziraphale in person when he takes his nephew to the library and is immediately smitten. He becomes determined to use his expertise and influence to give Aziraphale the only Christmas present that could really make a difference, but are some things too important to be kept secret?

[ndrv3-hyperfixated]

BOTH MODS POSTING THEIR WRITING IN RECORD TIME?!

it's a shocker, LIKE KAEDE?! i loved your part sm.

thank you for her patience, i know it was hard for her to finish it without procrastinating, thank you for your amazing work :)

i also, have written kiiruma content! mod kaede has told me it was a luttle bit of a roller coaster what i had going, but here i am!

(story is based off Elena Tsagriknou's song, el Diablo, that was also sang at Eurovision 2021, full credits to the singer for my inspiration)

trigger warnings listed here:

TW: k1-bo x miu (kiiruma; ship warning), alchool/vomiting mention, cursing

toodles! until next time (mod shuichi)

"i fell in love, i fell in love"

recently, i haven't been the most well, emotionally saying. his handsome voice, his bossy-like personality; and his soft, probably fake hair strands.that's how i would describe k1-b0, the ultimate robot, my one and only unique classmate

"i gave my heart to el Diablo, el Diablo"

it wasn't just a admiration feeling, this was most definetly what you call romatic love. but why? what was attracting me to him so much that i crave his attention and reciprocated love so much??

im going crazy, i know! the gorgeous girl genius miu iruma wouldn't act like this, right? i must be imagining all of this, it's going to go away soon. i hope

" i gave it up, i gave it up

because he tells me I'm his angel, i'm his angel"

althought, they way he was so helpless in my grasp that night, as his hard metallic skin was so closely to mine, screaming my name under the (not so) dim light of the lab? butterfly feeling.

"tonight, we gonna burn in a party"

the class had organized a huge party this evening. their motive? who knows, as long as no body announcement goes off and there's vodka!

on a more lighter note, i'm more of a liquor person..

"we wild as fire that's on the loose;

hotter than sriracha on our bodies"

the gathering went pretty well, i must add. we actually drank quite a bit, some of us ending up wasted in our rooms or at the bathroom, vomiting.

kirumi politely declined our offer to relax herself for one day, saying that she does not like to get involved with loud sounds everywhere. she however offered herself to help clean around after we are done. it's bullshit in my opinipn, but who am i to judge the lady?

"t-taco, tamale, yeah, that's my mood

all this spicy melts my icy edges, baby, it's true"

i don't even remember how we ended up playing spin the bottle. i was pretty neuron dead until that point, but still awake enough to keep myself on my feet. i also recall grabbing some food from the buffet, i'm not sure whuch, but i just know that it was as spicy as a simple jalapeno. not that i can complain! im one that has rather hot taste in food eitherway.

it was my turn to spin the bottle. asking tsumugi to hold my food for the moment, i inhaled a deep breath of air, spinning the bottle as hard as i could.

"all this spicy melts my icy edges, baby, it's true"

i closed my eyes shut, praying i wouldn't end up embarrased by some sluts and bitches this night. hearing the side of the glass bottle slow itself, i fluttered my eye lids open and..

it landed on k1-b0.

s-something didn't seem right!? our of all six people that were playing, including me, it landed on him?

now i couldn't back away. he was slowly approaching me, hands reaching for my face. here we go again. embarrasing yourself infront of your crush, miu

[...]

he gave me a cheek kiss?! his cold mouth parted from my face, showing obvious sign of blushing, ready to call anyone "robophobic" if they ever pointed out his flustred feeling.

..you know what? if this asshole wasn't ready to admit his feelings either, then im done being such a pussy! i'm so, but soo done of hiding this crave of geniune love away, for jim not to know it!

i gestured the gifted juvenile to turn around, facing me once more.

"tonight, we gonna burn in a party"

sighing deeply, clearing my throath, i spoke up:

"tin head you better enjoy what you will be receiving, you'll never be this pampered again"

"hey! that's robo-" before he could finish his usual and common protest, i shushed him quickly, crashing my lips against his. they felt, cold

icy as one could feel like during hypothermia, but i liked that feeling. warming him up with my juicy and glossed lips, as he stood there, confused and panicked

"it's heaven in hell with you"

[gggoldfinch]

I saw that you like Fargo, TUA, Fallout and much more (i also love these shows so much), i wanted to create an Ole Munch build in Fallout, which Fallout do you recommend? and any build ideas and insight's ? And guns types? i wanted tips, i'm not good at adapting characters i love into games. Thks, ur blog are amazing :3 If you have any tips on similar clothing mods, I'd love one 😭

ps: i'm in doubt between new vegas and 4 lol

HI ANON thank you sm for your ask I appreciate it sm 🙏🏻 but unfortunately I simply cannot help you at all bc I have never actually played the fallout games so I don’t know how character generation or mods work (I’m a terrible gamer) I’m sorry 💀
