wip wednesday: boy you really would’ve thought I’d have posted these by now

#it’s 80k of scenes that are individually 50-90% complete and not a single one is done #there might be a lot of cutting too because a bunch of these are stupid fluff pieces that simply aren’t interesting or important #so need to cut this down a whole bunch #they will be banished to the Dark Google Doc where lies the original draft of chapter 6 and the rough draft of the slider one-shot #1. ‘so… about what happened last night’ post first kiss #2. ice gets curious about mav’s family #3. Admiral Kazansky gets a little jealous #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #top gun #top gun maverick #icemav #top gun fanfiction #i might pause wip Wednesdays for a few weeks. I’ve posted a snippet from 70% of the scenes which i think is detrimental to the end reading #experience. #sorry these are taking so long but they really are just extras so don’t worry about it too much #dont let me overhype them. like im extremely proud of some of the writing (it’s much better than some of the stuff on ao3) #but they’re not necesssry to the story overall

Return of the Living Dead III (1993)

"What's going on, Curt, tell me what happened?"

"We had an accident."

"What kind of an accident?"

"On the bike."

"What happened?"

"You died."

"I what?"

#return of the living dead iii #return of the living dead 3 #horror imagery #blood tw #gore tw #1993 #brian yuzna #john penney #melinda clarke #j. trevor edmond #kent mccord #james t. callahan #sarah douglas #jill andre #abigail lenz #mike moroff #pía reyes #dana lee #basil wallace #sal lopez #ok whatever else I'm about to say about this film‚ whatever criticism i might level at it‚ i want to be clear that Melinda C absolutely #kills it here: she's absolutely brilliant and the whole film (for better and worse) has to hang on to her coat tails. the scene in which #she reveals her postmortem self body modification is... idk‚ it's THE scene of the film‚ a truly iconic sequence that marries dark #eroticism with body horror with female autonomy with cinematic exploitation. it's something. a hell of a moment. if only the rest of this #could live up to it... where RotLD 2 tried to go for more mass appeal with greater emphasis on splatstick and silly dialogue and family #units‚ this film over corrects and completely removes the comedy element that made the og film such a sneak hit. morbid 90s alt scene #aesthetics and teen nihilism take its place‚ and while the first film had that ingredient it was a little ironic.. here the emphasis is #pure angst and it isn't always to the film's strength (not on a cheapy b movie budget and a schlock horror script). the tragic romance #element did win me over by the end (surprised at how outraged i was by a late stage fakeout that would have denied the main relationship) #but this probably takes itself just a little too seriously for what it is: a goofy rubber fx splatter film. still‚ worth it for Clarke tbh

I stg if I have covid for the THIRD FUCKIN TIME-

Hell no one in my direct family even knew about em until #Another family member bought them up! #N e way. #I'm in hell #Though there's likw a 90% chance it's just a scare #& my sore throats just from sleeping w a fan on & window open in mid march

i seriously need to get a new job and start making money again asap bc i cannot keep living at home much longer it’s driving me insane

(wrote an entire essay in the tags without meaning to oops)

#i feel so isolated from everything bc i’m not in school rn but all my friends are and 90% of the ones who are in state go to the same school #so they’re all in the same town and here i am 45 minutes away #i never get invited to anything bc 1) my friends all tend to make plans really last minute #and 2) if we want to go out and drink - which we usually do bc that’s the stage of life we’re in rn - i’d have to stay the night with #someone bc i absolutely cannot afford a 45 minute uber home and most of my friends don’t like staying over / having people stay over #so i have basically no social life and it’s only gotten worse in the past couple months since i got laid off from my main job #not only did i love that job but i loved my coworkers and work was pretty much the only time i left the house and interacted with people #and without that job i can’t even do the little solo things i used to do to cheer myself up like go see a movie #or even just go for a long drive bc i’m broke (as in i have $17 in cash to my name and am like $1000 in debt rn) #so all i do is rot in bed all day and apply for jobs that i’m overqualified for yet still don’t get hired #i barely even leave my room bc i avoid my family which just makes me feel guilty bc i love my family #but they get on my nerves so easily and most of the conversations i have with my mom end in her lecturing me about something and me crying #and on top of everything it’s just straight up embarrassing to be unemployed and completely directionless about college and living at home #logically i know i’m still very young and it’s common to live at home when you’re 20 but literally none of my friends do #i had a couple friends who lived at home for the first 2 years after high school and went to community college but by now they’ve moved out #and they’re all at universities and either graduating this year or next year meanwhile the earliest i could possibly graduate is in 2 years #i should be finishing my junior year rn but i’ve only completed my freshman year #i hated the school i was at and planned on transferring sophomore year but long story short that didn’t work out #even longer story short i ended up doing a semester each at 2 different community colleges and failed all my classes both times #and took 2 semesters off so now i’m a full 2 years behind and even though my freshman year was miserable #i’m starting to wish i stayed at that school anyway bc at least i would be at a university and accomplishing something #plus theres a huge difference between staying at home for a couple years after high school then moving out later #vs living on your own right away then having to move back home after you’ve already experienced having your own space #and on top of everything i have an older sister who’s a literal genius and graduated last year #and a younger sister who just finished her freshman year at the school i hated but she loves it and got perfect grades and made friends #so they’re both thriving and here i am living with my mom and my 13 year old brother and just completely failing at everything #i’m just so miserable and obviously moving out again and going back to school wouldn’t magically fix everything #but at least i would feel like my life was going somewhere and i wasn’t getting left behind by everyone i know #i just have no idea how to move forward and i feel like ever since high school not a single thing has gone the way i wanted it to #vent

thinking abt how often william gets away with being an asshole because he plays it off as being mischievous instead

#—— ✧ ooc » #.tbd. #see this is why i feel like his fc is SO good #william's got this v mischievous smile & way of playing things off #i'd argue that he can endear himself to plenty of people with it ( although he has like 50 others methods for that too ) #like oh he has a sense of humor! he's smart but also just a funny guy! he's definitely not evil! #guy whose natural smile is a smirk 90% of the time but he's so capable of charming his way out of looking shitty #that it works out for him. it's charming or funny or attractive depending on the person #the only ppl who ever get to /truly/ see beyond this would be like. anybody who has known him since college #( when he sometimes just blatantly came across as a dick / couldn't hide his temper ) #and obv /later/ his wife and kids #for some reason my william is always way more genuine ( derogative ) with henry too even when not shipping #which is SO funny. very 'he's my best friend we argued for 2 hrs straight yesterday & we've hung out for 14 hrs straight since then' #prob because we often do the 'knew each other since college' thing so will doesn't see a point in like #completely bullshitting if henry can obv see through it #but still it's SO funny what is wrong with him. he has to have one person he can argue with over trivial things or he'll die #nobody ever witnesses william angry except the employees heard him threaten henry's life #because he suggested no longer producing and selling the spring bo.nnie plushies

claire tried to be carmy's pete bla bla she doesn't even know who pete IS.... she literally just fell in love with the worst person anyone could ever fall in love with at age like fourteen. it's not that deep i promise

#out. #literally just type in claire the bear and watch me lose the ability to think straight past the haze of red #it's not even. it's not like half the people are even saying anything that bad they're literally just making shit up #like i PROMISE it's not that deep #did you think for a second that her only plot function was to show that CARMY is incapable of choosing not to self sabotage #it has nothing to do with which ship you should ship or who's better for carmy it's not a syd vs claire equation!!! #if he and syd tried to get together in season 2 it would have gone EXACTLY the same if not WORSE #because carmy has a one way ticket to complete and total desolation if he doesn't switch gears #that is the POINT. how did you miss it am i insane. am i losing my mind over fictional women fandoms overhate for no reason #jean shut up....... it's fine ur fine u are on tumblr dot com they can't touch claire..... #she is safely tucked away in your hollow brain it's fine <3 #literally didn't even wanna get into it i went into the tag to find cute gifsets of her but 90% of it is just hate #it's brutal out here #anyway if randos like this post i'm instakilling it delete style

What I always fail to consider when I create my absolutely realistic to-do lists and plans is the fact that I'm just. So so tired

#either i am a giant cry baby or there is something wrong with me #(in this house we ignore chronic lack of sleep and other unhealthy lifestyle decisions and questionable dietary choices and habits #that has absolutely nothing to do with my feeling of utter exhaustion #this feeling of malaise is completely beyond my control #no but fr i think i would feel 90% better had i slept 1 more hour last night #idk how i survived the first 3 months of this year where i was getting 3 hours on average #i had at least 4.5 hours last night and i feel like dying lmao #had to lie back down this morning after finishing my preparation for the seminar and doing some yoga because i felt like passing out #but i went to class and it was actually okay today and i didn't faint and i even contributed something #amazing #(i mean we were forced to say something but i did say more than the bare minimum so i think that's an absolute win) #uh anyway i need to work for 2 hours and then study korean and do my homework and realistically that's gonna take 4 hours at least #and i need to prepare for my seminar on Thursday which realistically also takes at least 4-5 hours because I'm so fucking slow #and technically i need to work and catch up with my other 2 courses which would require 2 hours a day #and i need to write my stupid term paper from last semester but i haven't even found a topic yet and i need to prepare my stupid #presentation for one seminar and then start working on the term paper for that as well and then start working on the term paper for my #other seminar and then #I'm just way too overwhelmed lol- idk how people manage life. i feel like a rotten corpse all the time and don't even do anything #i need to clean and do laundry and take out the trash and do the dishes and do laundry and write emails and #i just wanna sleep ahahah #ok I'll stop complaining now. I know how much other people do all the time and my workload is nothing in comparison. #i just like to be dramatic #void screams

Actually the band I was there to see when I saw type o for the first time was one of the Bands I was hyper fixated on and that was nancy. My dancing face lasted about 10 years. I managed to work my way up into the first row at the show which was general admission at the Bomb Factory in Dallas.

The girl who was standing next to me started talking to me and we hit it off like crazy right off. So we decided we were going to link arms so that no one could pull us out of the front row and believe me lots of people tried. So we're standing there waiting for the show to start and I don't even know what I was doing or what I was thinking but I was looking somewhere else. Suddenly I heard the girl go: OH. MY. GOD.

I looked up and saw Peter for the first time--- right in front of us towering over us. That was definitely something I never ever forgot. That was 30 years ago. And it's still one of the best shows I've ever been to.

you saw them live in 1993 oh my fucking god 😭 vicariously living through this message! if i had managed to work my way to front row i would have just yeeted myself at josh at this point but they all were damn fine that year physically and musically 😩

#peter was so fine in the early-mid 90s i just wish he would have reflected more on what he said sometimes #like even tho he always wanted to provocate and get strong reactions out of people some things just went way too far #it got especially bad when he got addicted to coke by the late 90s he just decayed completely mentally and physically #i read soul on fire recently and it explained a lot more about him and put some pieces together and made things make more sense #ive seen and read almost everything i could find on the net and i genuinely dont think he was the awful bad person some people (1) #(2) on social media make him out to be #but of course a lot of his behaviours and what he stated alone and in some of the bands lyrics which he wrote is critique-worthy!

I’m sorry for anyone who’s watched me for good content and realized this person only ever talks about one man and probably one series or more specifically one route in a series.

#yes this is about Archer Emiya #I’m going to post the manga screenshots somewhat after I study a bit #i need to find some images for my errr meta post for Medusa #my blogs been running on queue 90% of the time so I’m sorry if I looked like I was here and I wasn’t #i need to make up a queue name but I’m too dead #gonna just title is ‘that’s hell you’re walking into’ #also I have completely filtered every Lostbelt after 2 because I got spoiled in Lb6.5 and it broke my heart #so I just filtered everything which I should’ve done before #Sherlock and Moriarty got filtered too #BUT if you want to talk to me about Kriemhild please do #i love her already ok

also i love unreliable narrators a normal amount

#been reading 'the basic eight' which is the debut novel of the guy who wrote asoue and is smth i've been wanting to read #for a while now for 1. being an epistolary novel 2. a satire 3. set in high school and 4. having an unreliable narrator #and it's sooooo fun trying to figure out where the cracks in flannery's story are and what she's trying to make look like the truth #and also the parallels btwn certain characters' relationships is fucking riveting #the book was published in 1999 so the story takes place in the 90s so every so often i'm taken out of the narrative by that #at least twice-- once when they didn't mention 9/11 when having a dinner party on sept 11th (and then i was like 'OHHHHHH. RIGHT.') #(lol consequence of being born in 2001) #and another time when flannery mentioned being able to figure out the time by looking in an almanac for that day's dawn time #and for a moment i was like 'huh? but you could just google--RIGHT.' and never have i ever been more acutely aware #of my own blind spots and assumptions and the tech i take for granted bc i grew up with it and it's kinda awesome actually #and you can get the sense that the writing is dense w/meaning in the same way asoue was also dense with meaning #packed with classical references and lines that seem throwaway and then come back again later like AAAA #i love the way flannery's obvious unreliability makes you actively think abt everything presented in the novel as you're reading it #i love how you can never quite tell what's being presented as unedited journal and what's being rewritten in the future #and perhaps i'm easier to fool about this bc i write in my diary in a similar manner where it feels like it has narrative structure #but i also try to be completely honest about who said what and when and so when flan the narrator does deliberately remind us #that she's editing this in post and ofc that couldn't have happened in the moment i'm like 'oh! right!' #anyway yeah just love it bc it feels like an extremely engaging read; it's like a pumpkin full of meat for my enrichment #花話

#gnashes #things are slow and fast at the same time. let me explain: #my new job starts on october 17th (my mum's birthday actually) and this is. a big deal. #for one‚ it's my first job ever! secondly it's sn office job with like. good pay. like great pay in fact given i still live with my parents #and stuff‚ so absolutely COLOSSAL changes are coming... just‚ not yet! #the wait is the hard part‚ because that's when doubt manifests. what if i can't handle it‚ what if i have no free time anymore‚ blah blah #i've been doing my best to quell those feelings though‚ mostly by keeping myself distracted. #that's partly why i've fallen back into yakuza again in a manner that might suggest i have an anvil attached to my ankle! #(also last time i got into yakuza i couldn't properly because... nvm i cba explaining) #my computer is still having complications unfortunately. but the cpu+motherboard are still under warranty‚ so right now i'm just fighting #with amazon to get them replaced. so again it's just! a waiting game unfortunately! #my sleep schedule is completely DESTROYED at the minute. #i really need to get that in check before october #my main focus right now‚ project-wise‚ is the newport project. i've been reworking it again‚ rejigging arc 1 and 3 especially‚ but my main #goal at the moment is a new name actually! i never liked 'the newport project' anyway and it was always intended to be a working title‚ #not to mention‚ now that i'm doing a tnp rewrite (still doing that btw!) it's SO confusing having 2 ongoing projects with the same acronym #i keep clicking into my new prophecy folder instead of my newport project folder on gdrive and vice versa 🙄 #i'd really like to share more about it soon! #it's funny how much of it is fleshed out even though like 90% of the characters don't have designs yet. i guess thst just means i'm more #focused on the writing itself‚ which isn't exactly a bad thing. #but yes! i should. share some stuff #uh if you read this far i'm kissing your hands like you are nobility and i am a lowly peasant boy

[crowcryptid]

Wow guys only 10k then our stupid condo is paid off then we only have to fix the entire kitchen and replace the wall and replace the floor and redo both bathrooms and replace the windows

and then

we can sell it

so achievable within a realistic time frame

#bro. #I mean technically the only thing we’d REALLY have to do is the kitchen #because the wall is completely fucked up due to my upstairs neighbor having a leak #everything else is just uhhhh well. gross and old #if someone was truly desperate to live in this shithole they will buy it #which is the only benefit of living in this nightmare city #every idiot is moving here #I just want to get outta here LOLLLLLL #2 years? please? or faster? please? #we probably can’t even sell it cause it’s my grandmas place and she’s been here since the 90s #I doubt she’d move states with us #she likes it here cause everyone speaks spanish

#the way discord stupidly handles threads where it auto archives them after a while #just made me think that i completely lost all of this fanfic that i had written 90% like a year ago #which yes it's stupid i was storing it in discord #but in my defense my old laptop broke to death. so. while i think it's here somewhere that was also my attempt at 'finishing' it #which meant that all of the shit i jotted down while at work or trying to fall asleep would have been missing #and at this point i'd probably revisit some of those notes to revise it so like. it's fine tho i found it #the number 2 thing keeping me from actually sharing this is the fact that i'd have to think of a title. #the number 1 thing is the fact that i don't know how to write the end of this scene. #*new creative post tag here* #i will say tho. this is written better than the thing i've been trying to write the last week or so. despite being written in the same way. #the way i naturally write works better for this character basically. #also :( why would someone write this and inflict pain on me- oh wait.

#why do I still feel like I need you so much? #I know nostalgia is a liar sometimes and all that but God it’s still killing me when it hits so hard like this #all I want to do is talk to you all day and have a really long conversation like we used to #I’d be willing to bet that even though today is a ‘lazy day’ for you I still won’t get more than 1-2 messages from you all day #I just don’t know what changed or why #and if I bring it up it’ll just start a fight again like last time so I’m basically never allowed to be bothered by this ever again #I still want what we had back and I hate that I want that so badly even though I know we can never have that again #I shouldn’t care this much and should be able to move on with my life but I can’t get my feet under me #I feel like I’ll always be begging you or someone else for attention and affection and whatever else for the rest of my life #I feel like I’ll never truly get what I want or get to be fully and completely happy/satisfied all the way around #my thoughts are a jumble and are all over the place and I’m just babbling at this point #but my chest feels tight and I’m holding back tears and this shit always hits me out of nowhere and I don’t know why it keeps happening #I don’t know how to stop feeling this way or distract myself or process it or move on #I can’t predict when it’s going to hit or what triggers it completely so I can never make it stop it seems #and it just makes me want you back even more which makes it all hurt worse again #I think of my girlfriend and how she doesn’t deserve a partner who’s still dealing with this shit and thinking about someone else #I feel so guilty all the time because I’m still thinking about you so much and I can’t get you out of my head #she’s the one I should be thinking about and feeling everything for #and we’re about 90% there overall so it’s not like I’m not trying to put all of myself into our relationship #it’s just that last 10% I can’t seem to fix and that’s why I’m so ashamed of myself #yet I still can’t move on from you and I don’t know why #you carved yourself out a piece of my soul and how do I get that back?

V.1: Silent Pines, 1998 Special Credit: Silent Pines is heavily inspired by and uses a very similar style to the stunning @windbrook savefile by @folkling, the gorgeous portsim savefile by @florwal, and the amazing builds by @moonwoodmillz. Thank you all for your hard work, I take a lot of inspiration from you all. Silent Pines is a base-game only save file inspired by Life is Strange with 3 major worlds, a whole new set of townies, and a complete mystery to solve.

Version 1 contains;

Willow Creek as Silent Pines

13 Community Lots

3 move-in ready homes for your sims

A total of 9 houses, 6 of which are filled with townies

18 households with jobs, story, and drama

A complete mystery to solve (should you want to)

DOWNLOAD, INFO, AND SCREENSHOTS BELOW

I used S4Studio to rename all the worlds, and I've decorated all the neighbourhoods with T.O.O.L. As I said before, Silent Pines is completely base-game friendly, absolutely no packs or kits are used. There is some custom CC, mainly posters that add to the story. The CC is one package file and adds nothing other than some customisation to the story. It is not required.

For example the missing poster of Cleo Emerson, a girl who disappeared under mysterious circumstances;

SPECIAL THANKS Thank you to my beta testers @theemodernsim, @authorspirit, @acuar-io, @aridridge for all your help! You've been amazing and I really am very grateful. And thank you to everyone who has liked, reblogged, followed, and generally supported Silent Pines. It means the world to me to be able to share my work with people!

DISCLAIMER: There have been reports of the 'build mode item missing' message popping up, especially in the downtown area. I've tried to fix this to the best of my ability, and I hope it's alright! Also, if there is anything I should fix or have left out, please let me know. Thank you for your patience <3

ALSO: Due to the Sims 4 being a broken game, I really don't recommend playing Silent Pines with Rental Units, in case the T.O.O.L objects up and disappear lol.

Silent Pines is heavily inspired by Life is Strange, the Windbrook save file, florwalsims' Portsim save file, as well as the hazy nostalgia of the late 90s and early 2000s. I hope to see you all soon for V.2!

The Mystery Update A more comprehensive outline for this update will be coming soon, but essentially it will contain;

Hopefully the fixed Harris household

More mystery clues to make the mystery more engaging and easier to solve

Better and complete lot descriptions

Love from, Silent Pines.
