Anyways I love being multigender and a lesbian. I love having a weird relationship with gender while also being a sapphic woman. I love being a man and also being sapphic. Being multigender doesn't make my love towards women less sapphic, less gay, than it is for a monogender woman. I am still a woman who loves women. Some of y'all just aren't fucking normal about multigender and fail to see how the shit you say about us is literally a regurgitation of shit transphobes say about trans women who are wlw or lesbians <3

Spoiler alert he's a werewolf
Was bitten, not born, and he kinda loves being a monster.
He used to feel all angsty about his condition, that is until he used it to get rid of a bastard who in his mind, committed a great sin against you and your relationship (some dude made you giggle which he took as a threat), now he's all for it.
Likes to scent you even though you can't smell it, he can.
And boy oh boy does he like it when he's the only thing he can smell on you.
But that means God help you if you dare to come home smelling like someone else, will pitch the biggest fit.
Can shift on command, has been afflicted since he was 18 so he's had a lotta practice on getting this thing under control.
Hence the scarring, but if you ask him he'll just say he's clumsy.
Age 24 this big boy stands at a tall 6'5
Scary dog privilege goes without saying.
Bites to give affection
Please bite him back
Favorite color is that pale blue the sky is when the sun is first coming up.
Works as a security guard for a small plaza in your town, keeping little old ladies safe and all that, his stature is enough to stop most would be criminals but if someone tries him he's more than happy to bare his teeth.
Accidental flirt, he makes really intense eye contact when he speaks to people, that paired with his warm baritone voice leaves mf's flustered.
Smells faintly of campfire and the woods, always has dirt on his shoes.
Would walk around barefoot if he could.
Please pretty please pet this mf's hair.. he will fall apart in your lap.
Protective/delulu yandere, in his brain y'all are basically married, so ofc he's gonna glare at the UPS guy until he's too freaked out and leaves your package by the driveway
Don't worry he'll go get it
Kinda just inserts himself in your life, but he's so smooth with it, it's hard to stay mad
One second he's some hot dude you see around town the next thing you know he's in your house raiding your fridge and complaining about your snack selection.
Huge foodie, something about shifting makes him hungry, he eats like he's filming a mukbang
Surprisingly funny for such a stoic looking fucker
Has a dry wit and he can come off as blunt or rude but it's just his tizzim' (samebro)
Outdoorsy and handy
In his dream life y'all live in a secluded cabin in the thick woods where the only person with access to you was him
If you're in the dark about his condition he'll keep you in the dark as long as possible but it's hard not to know when he's basically a doberman that got turned into a man
Extremely loving and warm, likes to bear hug you when y'all sleep, unless you got a queen sized bed he will take up the entire thing.
His socks are always mix matched
Likes keeping a braid in his hair, especially if you're the person braiding it.
Has binged the Twilights with you and has a personal beef with Jacob
Radiates heat like a mf, even in his human form he runs hot as hell, like to keep a window open at night but don't worry, getting cold isn't possible with him next to you.
Likes baggy clothes because he's big.
When he gets real man, like real mad his nails grow into claws, has scars on his palms from clenching his fist too hard.
His eyes flash with hints of yellow when he's turning.
All in all this good boy just needs someone to hold his leash.

Styled Looks Add-Ons:
Fix For Removing Shoes and Tops & Undresser for All Age Groups
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1. Fix For Removing Shoes and Tops
Last week I spent some time trouble shooting a few peculiar issues I came across concerning Styled Looks. One issue is addressed here, the other one I found is the following:
Since an update in mid 2022 Styled Looks where sims are barefoot or topless (so this mostly concerns outfits in the Swimwear and Sleepwear categories) don’t remove shoes and tops anymore (only noticeable if your sim is wearing shoes or tops before you apply the look). The issue also comes up with EAs looks and seems to be happening since mid 2022 (I suspect the Werewolf patch or earlier). I made a report for it here, but I don’t have much hope there will be an official fix.
I just now made the connection that the cause is the same as what I had noticed previously with SL using unlockable CAS items: CAS parts missing the “ShowInUI” flag are not registered in Styled Looks. Not sure if those CAS items used to have the flag originally or if sth was changed about how SL work (latter seems more probable to me). But setting the flag makes the items functional in SL again.
So I’m sharing a fix here which is an override of the respective CAS parts adding the missing flag. Be aware, though, that the override will mark your sims with the CC flag (while you use it).
Known conflicts:
Necrodogs HD feet (the files override the same CAS parts for feet).
Any other CC overriding CAS parts for feet or bare tops.
2. Undresser for All Age Groups
While trouble shooting I also made a SL undressing the sims. I know there’s already a similar one that was made previously (see link below). But since the creator deactivated their account and the SL wasn’t working correctly due to the described issue, I made my own version, also adding more options, and decided to share it here:
The Undresser SL works for all age groups and outfit categories.
Furthermore, I added an additional swatch that undresses the sims without removing make-up. Update as of August 5th 2023: This swatch also doesn't remove nail polish, while the other swatch does.
The Undresser SL is made in the same style as my custom Styled Looks and needs a custom background, which you can get below as well (if you haven’t it already in your mods folder along with my looks).
Also note that custom SL are always listed behind EAs looks. You will need MizoreYukiis mod linked below to hide EAs looks in order to see the Undresser SL as first entry in the list. That's the only way it will be useful, imo.
💐All credit to Floopi for the original idea. You can find their version which was recovered couple of months ago (since the original post is not accessible) in a reblog here. You can use it instead of mine – but it will also require the fix to work correctly.

THE TEENY TOTS COLLECTION, PART 3: FOUR UNISEX TODDLER OUTFITS FROM CASTERU AND POWLUNA, CONVERTED TO THE SIMS 2 👼🏽
yep, months later, it's finally back! part 1 | part 2
i've started doing polls on the simscord regarding what my next cc collections should be, and 'a MASSIVE BUNCH' of toddler clothing won by a biggg margin. so, expect a bunch more to come in the following months! 💃🏽
for the third installation of this collection, have 4 fullbody, unisex toddler outfits: two from @casteru, part of their colorblock set; and two from @powluna, the isaac onesie (and cape!) as well as the molly dress.
i've decided that, from now on, all of my toddler and children clothing is going to be unisex. that means that both male and female sims can wear them. what a kid wears shouldn't be restricted to their birth gender anyway, they're f'ing 8. if you have a problem with that, the outfit organiser by pick n' mix should have you covered. please don't spam my inbox with hate 😍
DOWNLOAD: SFS | MF 🍼
credits go to @casteru and @powluna for the adorable original ts4 meshes & textures! and to @skittlessims for converting the shoes i used 💘

If you feel comfortable sharing, what's your tickle fantasy right now? Position, technique, spots? I want to know all the details. I hope you're having a good day!
Hi!
I am. Hope you are too.
Right now? I would want to be tickled by a couple. More of a MF couple than anything else. Not that I wouldn’t say no to a FF couple. I’d love it. I just haven’t had to that MF dynamic before and I think it’d be fun. Position would probably be spread eagle so one could be at the top and the other at the bottom, or both at the top or bottom if they want, with the both of them being impressed with how the other can make me laugh. Hogtie position would also be fun too.
Another lee one is that it’s the summer and I’m barefoot at a party and someone brushes by or playfully tickles my foot and sees how ticklish I am and then the fun begins. lol
Tumblr media
As a ler? It’s a lot more playful. I’m with someone I’m cool with and they make a remark or bratty comment and then I warn them. They keep it up and i just start attacking with tickles and tease them the whole time that I told them to stop so they must’ve wanted this, so I’m just giving them what they want. The more I type it out it doesn’t sound as playful lol but it’d be fun for me.

Sounds like your manager is probably having a shitty day and taking it out on you, but it's still not an excuse to be a bitch. I'm so sorry she's being a shithead to you, I hope she has to use the bathroom and there's no toilet paper in the stall 😔🙏
Oh no she’s a bitch every day she’s there 😂 Regardless though, I do hope she has a shit day as well
The best part? Mf yelled at me for every fucking thing today and had the audacity to offer me a ride home bc I walk to and from work and it’s July. Like ma’am I’d rather walk home barefoot on the hot pavement than be alone in a car with you
It was a Day 🙃

Niran is that ADHD mf who puts one sock on then gets distracted and ends up walking around half-barefoot for like an hour
The thought of how uneven and Wrong that must feel is what usually provokes Satya to throw the other sock at him and insist, for HER sake, that he put it on

More for u. Had to round out the closet per usual. it'd be a little awkward if your sims were only chunky when in their everday wear.
anyways, this covers all the barefeet type stuff. Pajamas, Underwear, and Swimwear. All of it. Also included is the nude mesh and the sauna towel.(both are mesh only.) but they're not pictured since I can't screen them in bodyshop.
This one has a lot more mesh only replacements, so that's good. then you can use any texture replacements you want~
as usual, details and link beneath the cut so the post doesn't get to long.
---tmbodyBathrobe---
Full default. Original default by @ello-sims. Marvine feet and pearmorph added.
---tmbodynaked---
MESH ONLY. Honestly I'm not even sure what this affects, since from what I can tell the game uses the separates for when the sims get naked.
---tmbodypajamas---
full default. original default by @biffysims. Added Marvine feet and pear morph.
---tmbodypajamaboxers---
MESH ONLY. This will take on any texture defaults you have in your game or will use the vanilla textures if you have none.
---tmbodyrogertattootrunks---
MESH ONLY. Please note, The marvine feet look messed up if you do not have a barefoot texture installed. These use the same texture as the Adult version, so in order for these to look correct, please download the adult version for added texture replacements. Or if you have others that work, these will pick those up.
---tmbodyshorts---
MESH ONLY. will pick up vanilla textures or texture replacements. Replaces both swim and underwear mesh.
---tmbodyswimshorts---
MESH ONLY. Will pick up vanilla textures, or texture replacements if you have them.

'*•.¸♡ Akito + Ichika x Reader: Zoe/Nova Personality Type!♡¸.•*'
➳ This was a whole ass convo before it was even written out, and yes we made them for each other lol
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚.───
Tumblr media
-Way to wholesome for the amount of random shit that you say-
- Example “Rawdogging” SHE THOUGHT IT FUCKING MEANT GOING BAREFOOT-
- But Ichika would totally just go with it, even if she knows and even if she tried to tell you there is about a 70% chance that you wouldn’t understand, or just continue to say it as a joke
- Ichika talking about you “Their.. a character..?”
- SAYS THE MOST RANDOM THINGS AND ICHIKA IS JUST KINDA NODDING IN THE BACKGROUND
- Loves to just follow you around and just kinda try to warn you..? But it never works
- Her forehead is definitely red after how many times she’s facepalmed at the things that you have said
- NAH CUZ When you go on roblox and start bulling the shit out of little kids, she’s kinda just standing behind you and only helping you when your actually in the right about things
- Will 100% wake up in the middle of the nights for your “Big brain late night thoughts” and will listen to them as intensely as she can 😭
- ALSO HAS THE MF ZOOMIES AT LIKE 3AM
- She’ll. Just sit there and watch and question her life..
- And the most random outbursts of songs, she’ll try to either guess the song or sing along with you
- Also the fact that you watch like crimes at shit at 3AM, safe to say she’s concerned.. and tries to get you to watch like happier things
- She’s really trying 😭
(Also the fact that you fall all the time, will 100% be concered and make sure that your okay)
Tumblr media
- Is the “This is fine” meme but instead of fire, it’s Zoe/nova’s face
- Def tries to get in therapy, so y’all do couples therapy
- HE WILL LIKE TRY TO HELP WITH DEFINITIONS BUT GOD IS IT SO FUNNY THAT HE JUST DOSN’T HAVE THE HEART TO SAY ANYTHING SO YOU MAKE KINDA A FOOL OUT OF YOURSELF
- Akito talking about you “their… a fucking menace, help me”
- Also is just sitting somewhere and just ever so slightly looks over to make sure that your not dead or getting arrested
- Wants to get you at leash/backpack thing that little kids have 😭
- when you say random shit, he has a notes doc that he types it all up onto to mess with you about it later
- When the zoomies come, or the “big brain late night thoughts” will hit you with a pillow
- Also bullies little kids on Roblox with you, y’all get banned together, how romantic
- Again outbursts in song = getting hit with something soft, or if he’s nice then maybe he’ll try to join in
- Oh god he loves you, but some days he’ll just hand you over to the rest of Vivid BAD Squad and be like “give her back when she’s asleep or something”
(When you fall, he will fucking laugh in your face before making sure your okay, and it's gonna be like a "you good?" while trying to catch his breath)

So I took an unexpected trip down memory lane today. Something I haven’t thought about for almost two decades…
After work, I decided to avail myself of the nearest happy hour with some acquaintances, and me being me, ofc the conversation eventually turned to politics (generally a no no for me, but what can I say - blame it on the alcohol, right?)
Someone I’ve known for some years now, a white person, abruptly asked me if I had ever seen an actual burning cross before. If I’m being honest here, my initial instinct was to be angry at them because we don’t know each other like that. We were in a large group, and while I know he didn’t intend to, it’s “innocent” questions like that that put Black people on the spot. Kinda like asking the only Black student in a classroom full of white people what their thoughts are on slavery. Don’t get me wrong, some exceptionally gifted Black people would knock that question outta the ballpark. But many of us, caught unawares, might struggle to find all the right words. Even though I’ve taken many such public speaking classes to prepare me for just such an eventuality (extemporaneous public speaking is part of my job, currently), not everyone is prepared to be an on-demand public speaker. And definitely not on such personal subjects.
Anyway, I was actually kinda vibing with the mood in the bar and I didn’t really feel like making a scene, so decided to pull my “friend” aside to answer him.
And here’s where I got dragged down memory lane.
I was in high school. I don’t remember the exact year, but it was before I graduated, so that puts it somewhere (maybe a year or two) before 2002.
I went to the great (racist) state of Alabama, and the city of Shorter, for a week long visit with my then-girlfriend and her folks. Absolutely NOTHING could have prepared me for the abject poverty I had read about but only then witnessed firsthand.
I was born in Florida. I literally have memories of walking blocks and blocks barefoot on hot asphalt to go to the nearest corner store. BUT … Imma city boy at heart. Because of my father’s job, we were constantly moving all up and down the West coast of the country. I’ve lived and gone to schools for at least a year in major metropolitan hubs like NYC, Boston, Raleigh, DC, Hartford, Philly, Atlanta, and Nawlins*, etc. When I arrived in Shorter, it was the first time I had ever seen dirt roads that were the major routes between (Black) inner cities. The very first night when I got there, THE FUCKING SHERIFF (literally the only white person I saw in my week long visit) made it a point to stop by my gf’s moms house because, “I heard we were getting a fancy out of towner here today,” and even though I wasn’t a full grown man yet, I can still remember the feeling of incredulity and utter disbelief I had in those few minutes of being interrogated by the mf sheriff, who btw, arrived at my gf’s moms house with his lights on and sirens blaring. If you’re wondering, yes, he was white, and if I had to do a sketch of him today, it would look EXACTLY like the sheriff from that old tv show with Bo, Luke and Daisy Duke. “Dukes of Hazard,” I think.
And later that evening, the first time I had to go to relieve myself, I asked my hosts where the bathroom was, half asleep , the youngest brother, a kid of about 9 or 10, took me by the hand, led me to the back door, and pointed into the darkness at some weird looking treehouse a few yards from the house’s back door—except there was no tree and whatever it was that I was looking at was on the ground. I said, “No, where is your BATHROOM?,” and still half asleep, again he pointed at the weird looking tree house and said, “That’s it.”
I walked out, still not knowing exactly what to expect when I got closer to whatever it was in their backyard, and when I got close enough to recognize the smell, I stopped dead in my tracks … was this … waitaminute … is this an OUTHOUSE??!! I held my nose and cautiously opened the door, and sure enough, yes: it really was an outhouse. Like for real. In real life. I didn’t want to be rude, but there was no fucking way in hell I was going to take a dump in an outhouse. I went back to the house and awkwardly asked if there was another bathroom, and I was a little bit amused when he said, “Yeah, if you want, I can walk you over to the neighbor’s house and you can use their outhouse.” It turned out that everyone in the hood had outhouses.
I’m not sharing this to dunk on Alabama, it’s just what happened and it was all incredibly jarring for me. Shorter, Alabama was incredibly poor at the time, and there was no possible way for me to be prepared for all of the abject poverty I witnessed firsthand. And, lol, it’s not like I grew up wealthy or anything. But this was the norm for where I was visiting. I would later learn that my gf’s mom sent her daughter to Florida literally for a better life that she couldn’t provide her. My gf lived in Florida with her (comparatively) “very wealthy” aunt and uncle, who lived in what was essentially one step up from the projects. Truly some heartbreaking shit. I was humbled, but this experience gave me perspective like no history book could ever do.
AND YET …… I was a young teenaged boy, who was far away from home with his girlfriend, who I believed I would one day marry, so I somehow managed to brush almost all of that aside, because while my gf’s mom had to work double shifts at the dog track, we were assigned a chaperone—and he was literally thee coolest older cuz’n everrrr. He went out of his way to make sure my gf and I had enough time alone to make out pretty much whenever the mood struck us! Things were a little rougher than I had anticipated, but the time I had alone with my gf made it worth everything.
And then one night, Cuz’n Feaster (yes, that was his real name) took us to a hole in the wall bar. Don’t worry, he didn’t take us inside or give us liquor or anything, he just went inside for about an hour and left two teenaged virgins COMPLETELY alone in the backseat of his Chevy. FOR AN HOUR!!!
And when I tell you that we went all the way, I mean we went ALL the way—to third base!! Hands everywhere exploring everything, heavy kissing and making out! WITHOUT ANY SEX. (We were both two good little Pentecostal kids who had taken a stupid “purity” pledge, what did you expect?)
HA! But I will never forget that night though. I can still hear “Do Me Baby,” by Prince playing on the radio. Good times, man.
But I was telling you about the first time I saw a burning KKK cross, right??
So when cuz’n Feaster finally came out of the “club,” it was super late and dark outside. I remember him and my gf laughing at me because my neck was craned up looking out the window like a dog with the window rolled down. There were absolutely no lights outside on the road. No streetlights, no road lights, no house lights, no nothing except for the headlights and the stars above. I couldn’t believe all the stars I could see. I even recognized part of the Milky Way. It was an amazing sight. An amazing ride home. And an amazing way to top off an amazing night.
I was young, I was in love, I was happy and holding my girl’s hand, the stars were out, and just… Everything was perfect. Perfect.
And that’s when we started getting closer and closer to …. something?? Burning in the middle of an open field? As we got closer and closer, for the second time on my trip, my eyes and my brain recognized what I must be seeing, but my mind couldn’t comprehend or accept what it was: an enormous burning cross in a field, with men in white pointy hoods. It was the Klan!! I couldn’t fucking believe it. This was something that I knew and understood existed, but that was supposed to be history book stuff, right? I couldn’t wrap my head around it.
“Feaster, is that…”
-The Klan? Yup, that’s them. Leave them alone, and they’ll leave you alone.
Pfft! I scoffed. Messing with Black people who aren’t fucking with them is pretty much their job description.
And he and my gf were sO fucking calm about it. They acted like they saw that shit every day and twice on the weekend. BUT MY BLACK ASS WAS FREAKING THE FUCK OUT.
“Feaster, we’re all Black! What if-”
-Calm down. They do that all the time. And even if they wanted to, nobody can catch me in this car.
And my only thought was, we’re all gonna get lynched and die because this fool thinks his car is faster than bullets. We had to drive RIGHT BY that cross. I know it was probably my imagination working triple time, but it looked like it was 100 feet tall. It was less than a football field away, and that cross was burning so bright that it turned nighttime into daylight, disappeared all the stars, and I could very clearly see men in white robes holding guns. I was fucking terrified. Talk about sights you won’t ever forget. And Idk why, but the fact that Feaster and my gf were so damn calm about it just really added that extra something to my freaking out. It was unnerving af.
Me and my gf caught the bus back home to Florida the next day, but yeah, that was the first (but not the last) time I had ever seen a KKK cross before. Such a mix of emotions, that night was.

Hi, I’ve seen you answer all kinds of asks without judgement so I have an ask that’s kind of out there. I’m going to get my first Pap smear ever in a couple weeks and I’m nervous. Any advice? Is it as horrific as people make it sound? -🐟
It's not horrific, but it's weird. Unless you have a physical condition that makes any sort of insertion painful, really it should just mostly feel awkward and uncomfortable. The worst I've had is like a pain level 3 (for example stubbing my toe hurts worse) and some minor burning.
Tips:
Don't be self conscious. They do not care about your pubic hair. They've seen a million vaginas. They. Do not. Care. So don't feel self conscious about it one way or another yourself. Just bathe that morning and they're grateful
Scoot your butt down further than you think! Sometimes a bit further than they say cuz some can be bad about not having you scooch down far enough! If it feels like your ass is half hanging off the table, you're good. Any further up, your pelvis tilts weird and it's harder to open your legs enough to relax and help it not be quite so uncomfortable
Breathe. Focusing on breathing helps. 80% of it is usually just being anxious and then ya tense up and it yeah, uncomfy.
Every pap I've had pinches/burns a little. It's not bad and doesn't last long, actually touching a hot plate is worse, but still not fun. So it's ok to expect that and not freak you out if it happens, but some people don't feel anything at all. God favored them over me apparently
HOWEVER, if it hurts beyond just uncomfortable, tell the doc. They might have you readjust, slow the process down to give you time to settle, etc. But they can't fix what they don't know is wrong, so don't be afraid to say something if something obviously feels wrong to you
This is a personal one but, keep your socks on. Whether they have you go full gown (if you're also getting a breast/chest exam) or just Winnie the Poohin' it, always keep socks on cuz 1. it's always cold in those mfs 2. you don't want to barefoot the stirups and 3. you already feel a bit ridiculous, looking down and seeing your own toes just waggin in the wind helps nothing. Keep the socks.
Go in peace young padawan. Pussy healthcare is important and you'll feel better once that shit is done and over with

I'm not self-conscious about needing to draw all the characters barefoot or in sandals for historical accuracy out of some concern that someone might mistake me for some kind of a pervert. I'm concerned that the foot fetishists will look at the shoddy way I draw them and go "ugh, those are the worst feet I've ever seen. This mf can't even draw a nice pair of feet."
