[papermint-airplane]

I think I've finally accepted the fact that legacies/family play just isn't for me after a good 20 years of trying lmao. I've taken a good crack at it multiple times but I always end up stalling out somewhere around late gen 1 or early gen 2 because it's just...I won't say "boring" but let's just say it doesn't spark joy. I've always wanted a huge family tree and a ten gen legacy like almost every other Simmer in existence but I couldn't tell you why because I don't really enjoy playing that way. I guess I always get kind of envious of people who can tell you their family story from start to finish and show all the baby pics, etc. and they seem so enthusiastic about it. And like, duh Laura, of course, because that's how they enjoy playing. Everybody's different. Everybody has a different style.

What I'm doing now, a highly posed, highly staged, narrative-driven story is probably the most fun I've had Simming in a really long time and I find myself looking forward to it every day.

Maybe I'll take another crack at a family somewhere along the line with the Stewart-Clary family again because I really do love them a lot, but it'll probably be quite a while. Consider that save on indefinite hiatus.

Hey there :) 🍉🎲👥️

Hope you have a sunny and warm day too ☀️

Hi Gemma 🤗, first off all thank you so much for sending me this ask!!! 🖤🖤🖤

And yes I actually had a very sunny and warm day today thank you 😊🖤. I did spend the first half of the day mostly outside with 🐴🐴 and Fussel 🐶, and than went and got icecream in the City. (Found out I still don't really like vanilla icecream...)

I hope you had a nice day too, and will have a relaxing sunday tomorrow! 🖤

Now let's see...

🍉 favorite fruit

Mango 🥭 and green (sour) apple 🍏

🎲 favorite game

Like board game or like actual gaming game. Like for gaming game it's probably Sims. I don't play much though...And for board games the first thing that came to my mind that I really like is "Spiel des Lebens". Again not something I play often.

👥️ favorite otp

I can't really pick an alltime favorite here. But one I am at the moment kinda getting back into is Clace. Clary Fray/Jace Wayland.

A few first words...

Hello everyone!

I'm Olivia and I live in Germany. I wanted to share my own poses and photos from my ts3 game, so here I am! I must to say sorry for my English, because I'm not best in this language.

My favourite sims game is sims 2 (like probably most of the simmers). I love stories from ts3, but unfortunately, there is a lot of stories from 4 and 2. I know why, if you have ever played 3 you probably know too. So much bugs and lags can make game unplayable. But I have a simstagram for sims 3 and I'm so happy with it.

Soon I will publish my first pose😄 Bye!

(This beautiful view is from St Clarie town)

um, hi there! this is just a little post addressing where i’ve been and how life’s been like recently. first things first, i know i’ve been slack on posting any original content, but tbh i don’t care lmao. ever since quarantine, my mental illness has been absolute shit so i’m taking it easy. i used to stress about posting daily (or even weekly), but now i honestly don’t care about posting regularly. i’ve reached the point where i’m just happy posting whatever the fuck i want haha.

second, i know many of you have followed me for my “many suitors of one clary wiggins” challenge and that’s still happening! ...just not for a while though. i need to write a bunch of stuff; from the characters’ relationships to one another to overall plot details. i like to prep things so i’ve been world building and making a bunch of side characters to help move the overall plot of the challenge. this challenge means a lot to me and i want to make it the best it can be. i have a lot of dreams for it so i hope y’all can be patient with me.

and lastly, i’ve been spending most of my free time by playing a bunch of games with my friends in buddy’s discord server, chaos central 💛 we’ve been playing a bunch of games like among us, human: fall flat, fall guys, plasmophobia, jackbox games, and dead by daylight. i’ve been really enjoying myself and i’m just really grateful to have my friends. they’re my little light in these weird times. i honestly don’t know what i’d do without them and i truly love them all so very much. they’ve done so much for me and i can’t thank them enough.

that’s all for the life update!~ i just wanted to address some things :) i hope everyone is doing okay and staying safe! i’m sending all of the love and good vibes to you 💛 💛 💛

p.s i might be working on some things for simblreen 😳 maybe finally finish that sims dump and some other things ;) 

p.s.s these are my outfits/cosmetics in some of the games listed. for some reason, i love dressing up as a bird despite having a slight fear of birds?? well except for dwight, but like he’s kind of a chicken so same thing lol. also i’m a rank 8 in dead by daylight and damn bitch i’m proud of myself :’) okay, that’s all.

#nonsims #me babbles #just a lil update about where i've been

[wildflowerswildhorses]

This just in: you cannot leave sims alone

Clary will literally try to set the house on fire 

Jace will try to flirt with Isabelle 

Magnus will make fun of Isabelle 

Isabelle will piss off a fucking werewolf and almost make an enemy of said werewolf at Magnus’s pool party 

Everyone will going swimming while it’s fucking raining

asher moore for @eeriesims​‘s clary wiggens!!

i am terrified of writing so much about one sim but here we gooo (their backstory is a lot im so sorry i just can’t stop writing ahhh damn apush dbqs)

backstory (death/suicide tw):

growing up and questioning your gender is difficult for any young child, yet that’s all that asher moore’s childhood consisted of. well, not all of it. they were loved by their mother until about the age of 11 when she picked back up on her old and seemingly forgotten smoking habit. slowly but surely she began reverting to a version of herself that her ex husband would have been ashamed of. at least asher assumed they had divorced. they hadn’t seen their father ever. he had left town almost as quickly as he came in, leaving behind a broken and pregnant teenager who had foolishly eloped with a man she had just met. she held off on the drinking and smoking until she gave birth but quit after asher had turned 4. and after smoking for 5 years, she overdosed on opioids and died, leaving behind another broken teenager, but this one wasn’t pregnant. asher picked up as many jobs as they could while also juggling their gender questions. questions they always tried to stay on top of. and dating was always out of the picture. nobody ever seemed to choose them. for a myriad of reasons they aren’t ready to discuss quite yet. however, they’re her now and ready for a new chapter of love to begin!!...

______________________________________________________________

general information:

➱ name — asher moore

➱ birthday/age — 26, changes their birthday with every customer to keep themself entertained during their long, boring work hours

➱ species — mostly human, but they’ll swear their grandfather was a cyclops. or maybe he was a goblin...

➱ height — taller than the average, about 6′2

➱ sexual orientation — pansexual

➱ gender/pronouns — nonbinary (they/them)

➱ nicknames — not a huge fan of nicknames (at first). 

➱ occupation in glimmerbrook — occasionally a lifeguard by day, mixologist at the docks by night. loved by all all the time ;)

______________________________________________________________

oh god not more writing...

fun facts!:

lowkey scared of the water. don’t question the lifeguard choice

has a hard time opening up to people

vowed to never smoke in fear of becoming like their mom

ok enough of the heavy stuff, i’m getting sad :(

makes some of the best drinks in glimmerbrook 

trips over their own feet like all the time

it’s either love or hate at first sight, there is no in between

loves to eat and sneaks the chips from behind the bar every few minutes

didn’t go to uni and doesn’t plan on it, their jobs actually pay really well

tries to always look for the best in people, no matter what

yeah i’m tired and i still have a whole writing section to go, but this is fun!!

______________________________________________________________

➊ How did you meet Clary?

“she was a recurring visitor at the docks and although she blended in with the crowd at first, i found myself noticing her more and more with every visit. she seemed to have lived a life full of well, life! it just felt right to start smalltalking when she finally came over to order a drink.”

➋ What was your first impression of Clary?

“well, uhm, she seemed to understand me for who i was and i guess i kind of felt the same. she seemed eager to get rid of the smalltalk and talk about things that mattered to her. and after a few seconds, i guess i also felt like they mattered to me too. i mixed her drink while she talked about magizoology. i poured the drink into the cup while she described her house. i handed her the drink while she ranted about her pets. i could barely get a word in, but i wasn’t complaining. she got up as the band started their next song and shouted ‘bye’ over her shoulder as i gave a small wave. wow.”

➌ What is your ideal date?

“maybe these are predictable, but a nightclub or the beach. but not with a lot of people around. just the two of us, listening to music playing softly in the background while we, i don’t know, slow dance? or maybe dinner at a run-down, forgotten diner. ooh! a walk in the woods, or by the beach! anything goes, at long as i get to be with someone who loves me for who i am.”

➍ What’s your ideal relationship? 

“an honest one. and one that is helpful for both parties. i just feel like honesty, trust, and a sprinkle of humor is necessary for a great relationship. although i can’t say too much as i have almost no experience dating haha. but i promise that i would try my best to be the best partner i can be.”

➎ What’s your personality like? What are the negatives and positives?

“well i’m sure you’ve probably been able to assume a bit about me so i won’t get into too much detail. i like people. not necessarily talking to people, but people watching. facial expressions are different for everyone and i find it fascinating to watch people and their reactions. does that make me a little creepy? maybe. but the term i prefer to use is observant. i try to match my personality to the person i’m talking to, while still keeping my core ‘me’ as close as to myself as possible. easier done than said, to flip that saying around.

as for negatives and positives, i can’t always be a super happy, bubbly person. i mean, i’m pretty much never that happy. certain topics are sensitive and make me want to crawl in a hole and hide, not that i would fit haha. well there’s a positive, at least i have a sense of humor.”

ok i’m ending it there, i have never in my life written as much about 1 (one) single sim as i have with them. and sorry if i made any spelling errors, it’s almost 2 am and i’m highkey tired. ok bye thanks for reading

private dl if chosen

#im gonna scream #sorry if i contradicted myself sometimes #i just get thoughts and they only work sometimes lmao #i can clarify if you have any questions #bc entry #themanysuitors #a

[celaenacc]

Hi I'm also a big Mortal Instruments and Divergent fan and I have throne of glass on my shelf just haven't read it yet. My to-read list is super long but it's nice to see more fans of those series and also plays the Sims

<3 OMG Yes, my TBR list is too long rn. I’m actually 1 week from graduating college and I’ll FINALLY have some time to read for pleasure, especially since everything is still shut down so there’s not many job opportunities in my career field right now XD XD ;-; 

Bookworm rant below cut, if you’re interested

I also love ACOTAR by SJM, so if you end up liking (loving) ToG, be sure to check out ACOTAR. The first series I’m going to attack is The Dark Artifices (already read TIA). I also DTF a series called The Jewel (read 1+2, haven’t started #3 though), but that series is okay too. Kiera Cass’s The Selection series is another one of my all time favorites. I also find some of my TBR titles off of an app called Webtoon, because some of the stories on there are based off novel, like The Wrath and the Dawn by  Renée Ahdieh, which is on my list. If you ever want to talk books or recoms, I’m more than interested to, lol. Have you read To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before? I read #1+#2 and kinda started #3, but then my winter break ended and it was back to schoolwork, so that also went into my DNF pile. If you’re read the last book, is it as good as the first? I didn’t like #2 as much as #1. 

Back in 2015, I wrote a fanfic about the moment Simon realized he was in love with Clary, and I don’t know whether to be embarrassed, amused, or both. Warning in case you read it, It’s kind of cringey. I somehow even managed to remember the password just now for the blog, so thank you so much for this ask, cause I forgot about the blog for like 5 years now. 

I started a facebook page to keep track of my TBR list and I have a moderator that leaves reviews for some of them too. It’s called Books I’d Like to Read. I’m also obsessed with bookstagrams, cause they have so many awesome books listed, so I’d definitely recommend checking those out if you haven’t already.

Now that I’m finishing school, I’m also going to have more time for a “secret” cc book project I started last year. But, for you (purpleleopard96) and anyone else that’s read this far, here’s a preview of that:

I’m wanting to do all of SJM’s full length novels, as well as some other YA series. It might have to be spread across multiple files to keep any of them from having more than 25 swatches. If you have a specific YA series/book, let me know, and I’ll try to add it to my list for the cc set.

Thanks again for the ask <3 

Dag Dag!

An Introduction For the Uninitiated

Since I have suckered a number of friends into reading this, most of whom aren’t familiar with the source material, it behooves me to provide a summary.

What’s all this, then?

This is fan fiction written by yours truly, based on the Gravity Falls Dating Sim, a fanmade game based in turn on the Gravity Falls animated TV series.

I realize that’s a lot of nested statements. Let me explain.

What’s fan fiction?

Fan fiction is written by fans about stories or shows they’re passionate about. Fanfic expands upon the lore, stories and characters within an already established fictional universe. 

What’s a dating sim?

Basically, a choose-your-own-adventure story whose ending may differ depending on the choices made. Given that it’s a dating sim, it’s usually a romantic adventure whose objective is to win the heart of one of the characters. In the Gravity Falls Dating Sim, the player has the option to pursue either Stan or Ford. More on those two later.

What’s Gravity Falls?

Gravity Falls is a now-complete animated series that aired on one of the Disney channels between 2012 and 2016. The series chronicles the summertime adventures of the Pines family, consisting of twelve-year-old twins Dipper and Mabel and their great-uncle Stan, in the weird little town of Gravity Falls, Oregon. 

Who the heck are these people?

Spoilers everywhere, folks, don’t read if you’re determined to watch your way through twenty hours of the series. Tiny, tiny summary:

Mabel Pines is five minutes older than her brother. She is wildly creative, outgoing, a little boy-crazy, and crafty as hell in both senses of the word. Somewhere along the line, Mabel decided that she was going to add ‘expert matchmaker’ to her long list of skills. At the time of this story, Mabel and Dipper are thirteen.

Dipper Pines is fascinated by the paranormal, infinitely curious, and a bit of a skeptic. Lucky for him that Gravity Falls is actually full of paranormal stuff. Dipper is also just trying to survive puberty, with all its attendant growing pains, embarrassing crushes and weird sweaty moments.

Stan Pines is a semi-retired con man who ran the Mystery Shack, a tourist trap full of cheesy taxidermied ‘anomalies’, for thirty years. The business served as a front for Stan’s real project, rebuilding the interdimensional portal in the basement. Stan is a champion cheapskate who never got any traction with his get-rich-quick schemes until he landed in Gravity Falls and found sufficient motivation to dedicate himself to a lifetime project - retrieving his brother from dimensional exile. 

Ford Pines is Stan’s twin brother. He’s the one who built the portal, with the help of a manipulative jerkwad of an interdimensional dream demon who wanted to invade, and destroy, Earth’s dimension. Ford has twelve doctorates, and will probably not let you forget it. He also has twelve fingers, a rare case of fully functional polydactyly. So far as Ford is concerned, that makes him an anomaly, something that’s informed his entire life. 

Wait, Ford? I thought this was about the younger twins and their great-uncle Stan.

Ford shows up in the last eight episodes or so of the series, but his absence and the information he left behind informs a lot of the plot leading up to that point. 

Okay, that’s the main group. Who the hell is Clary?

Clary is an original character, an OC. She’s all mine. The game from which this is derived is set up so that the protagonist, the main character from whose perspective the game is played, is very open-ended and loosely defined; the player is supposed to fill in the details of that character’s personality and reactions through their game choices and their own imagination. This entire story is me filling in those details and embellishing around the central plotline of the game, from Stan’s perspective.

Essentially, this is Stanley Pines playing his way through the Gravity Falls Dating Sim, and dealing with the consequences of his choices.

Welcome to another profile on Behind the Screens, giving you personal insight on who your favorite creators are and what they do when they aren’t wowing you with their creative ability.

Happy Tuesday friends! Today, we have the delightful pleasure in getting to know one of your most requested authors, @formerprincess. Rena, our aforementioned guest, is the writer of numerous works, most notably A Tale of Claws and Fangs, Overslept, and Finding My Way To You. As you’ll come to find out, she’s also so much more, so let’s not wait a second more to dive in.

Rena! To get us started, share something about yourself! And for the twist: the word could should be around the number of letters of the characters in you’re favorite TW rarepair ship.

Erica Reyes + Stiles Stilinski = 25

Shy but it you know me I can be pretty weird. Huge book lover. Disney Fangirl. Big heart. Need writing like air. Wrestling fan.

Woah, really?! A wrestling fan? What got you into it?

I get this question so often haha. Because I appear so shy and innocent, people are always like: What? Wrestling? You? It’s fun.

My dad watched it for a while and sometimes I watched it with him, nothing too invested. But then I learned about Nikki and Brie Bella over tumblr rp and I got really curious about them so I researched online. I love them both, especially Brie, love that they stand for strong women and through them I started to actively watch Wrestling and over time gathered some other wrestlers, male and female, I love to see in the ring. It’s fun to watch them and what they do in the ring is impressive.

From wrestling to Teen Wolf, I dig it! And, how you find your way to the Thiam fandom? What about the two grabbed a hold on you?

That’s kind of a long story. I started watching Teen Wolf because I saw gifs and pictures of it on tumblr. I got curious and wanted to see this show but it wasn’t broadcasted on TV in my country, so I kind of searched online for a way and I watched until the point where Liam was introduced in the series  but then stopped because I lost interest and with work I was too busy to even think of Teen Wolf. And then I was on tumblr and I saw a gifset of the scene where Liam and Theo almost fistbumped and I was like ‘Oh hey, these two are cute together.’ I don’t even know why, I just liked the chemistry they had in the scene, Theo’s soft smile, and all. I grew curious who they were because I recognized Liam but I had no idea who Theo was. Quick online search. Aha, those two are Theo and Liam, Thiam for short. Interesting. The Thiam fandom was so very small at this point, there like five fanfics or whatever, so I didn’t really get much from my little expedition into the Thiam fandom.

I kind of forgot about them again because life and other stuff and all and then I saw something about Theo being evil months after my little encounter with the Thiam fandom and I was all ‘Wait a minute! What? But he and Liam…What the hell is going on?’. I was totally confused and stayed confused until was finally able to watch Teen Wolf again (I watched because I heard about the series ending and felt nostalgic so I gave it another shot). I watched season 4, 5, and season 6A and I was hooked!! And so ready for more screen time of Theo and Liam together, so ready to see what would happen to my boys.Tumblr came in handy again and damn had the fandom grown. I saw what everybody had to offer and the ship itself gave me so much inspiration that I wanted to contribute and put in my own two cents on them. The fandom was so welcoming and friendly, it felt like a family from the start and thus I decided to stay. I met many great people because of Thiam already, it’s really awesome.

What drew me in about them? The unspoken chemistry between them, not only romantically but also platonically. Even when I saw gifsets from them without any context, the looks they shared showed such a connection for me, I was astonished and delighted. And when I saw the whole scenes with them, every episode, I liked how different they acted around each other. I always felt like they got each other to a point no other was possible. That doesn’t mean I don’t like the relationship they have with other characters but I always felt they had this special level of a connection. As if they found their ideal counterpart with each other because they both have this fire inside them and don’t shy away from unleashing it.

Oooh, that last bit is so poetic!

Thank you. It came to my mind while I laid in bed and couldn’t fall asleep. When I thought of this, I sat up and almost yelled “That it! That’s Thiam!” Thank god I didn’t or I would have scared the neighbours probably haha.

Haha, most definitely. What’s another thing you’re passionate about beside Thiam and wrestling?

Being creative in general, not only writing.  I mean, yes, writing is the biggest thing I am passionate about. I view writing as a way to deal with the stress of daily life and I would go crazy if I couldn’t write. I also write poetry sometimes.

But not only writing, sometimes I like to create some picture collage or maybe an outfit on Polyvore. Or I simply create things in my head, characters, storylines, worlds, whatever I can think of at those moments. Sometimes I take my thoughts and try to realize them in my Sims game, it’s fun.

LOL, fellow Sims lover! This is one of my fav things to do! What’s been your favorite characters/scenario to conceptualize in the game? How did the game turn out? Any entertaining stories?

Hey, that’s great haha! I love to do this and I’m currently building some houses I could use as inspiration for my stories. I usually play with original Sims, see them starting a family and see how many generations I can have until it starts to get old or until I’m running out of ideas but I once created Stiles, Lydia, Erica and Derek in the game and the Stiles Sims immediately took a shining to the Derek Sims. It was hilarious to watch because even when I was not telling him to, he was interacting with Derek, followed him around. It was adorable. He tried to make Derek laugh^^. It ended with them falling in love and Lydia and Erica being the bridesmaids.

Aww, natural shipping, sigh. That’s the best. Let’s say you could put Thiam in a similar situation, but with characters of another show. Which would you choose? How’d you think the interaction would go?

I’d chose Shadowhunters tv series and to me, this would be hilarious and awesome at the same time. Theo and Jace would so have this little competition who’s better at basically everything; Izzy would be like an older sister to Liam but without actually treating him like a baby. She would admire his determination and will to protect those he loves, they have this in common. I imagine Liam and Jace siding when it comes to fighting because they are all like: Act first and think later but really just want to protect their family and friends. Alec would roll his eyes and ask himself what he has done to deserve this but come around in the end because is actually someone able to not like Theo and Liam? 

Magnus would be totally amused by the whole thing, especially if Liam and Theo are not a thing yet but he has eyes and he can basically taste the sexual tension okay? And Luke, Liam would not stop asking Luke questions about how he leads his pack and everything because another Alpha, how cool is that??? Also Maia and Liam? Dreamteam! Both struggle with control sometimes and they so would get each other. Imagine Luke and Scott running after their Betas to save them from trouble XD. Theo and Clary, because I love the headcanon about Theo being an artist, would bond over that and probably have a tentative friendship going on.

Before we chat about your works, one more silly question. If you could build the ultimate paintball/laser tag team from any five characters AND one villain on Teen Wolf, who would they be and why?

Liam, Kira, Allison, Theo, Erica, and Kate Argent

Liam because he is very athletic and competitive.

Kira because it surely would fun to have her around and she is just an awesome badass cutie. Also, she has fast reflexes.

Allison because she has an amazing aim and also girl power!

Theo because he is like a mastermind and can come up with the best strategy.

Erica because she is my queen and she would lure the other team out so we can shoot them. She and Theo would be great at making a cunning plan.

And Kate because she is ruthless and would destroy the other team.

Perfect. I still say Theo and Allison would’ve been a sight to behold together–for better or worse. Alright, so we have wrestling, sims, shadowhunters, outfit planning. And on top of all those, writing! If your creative process was a person, what type would they be? What would they do? Wear? Listen to? How do they handle conflict?  

They would be a very chaotic type, all over the place. Somebody you see and wonder how they get any work done because they seem to not be organized at all. They would be that type of person that oversleeps and then bolds into work with their bag hanging off one shoulder, their jacket almost slipping down the other shoulder, travel mug filled with coffee clutched in their grip, and clutching a notepad with lots of notes hanging out from it to their chest. They would not be the one that steps into the spotlight at all but rather satisfies with the result of their work.

Their clothing would be a mix from different styles, Boho but also athletic, sometimes chic. Everything they want to wear, they wear it.

Their taste in music is mixed. They mostly listen to Pop but they also have some rocks songs they are addicted to, some Hip Hop. Whenever they hear something with a good beat, good lyrics, that’s what they like and listen to. Their favorite band would probably be Little Mix.

Handle conflict? That’s a tough one. Hm. They would try to see it from the other’s perspective while at the same time telling themselves they should not explode and yell. They are mostly quiet but if they are peeved, they can lash out. If somebody yells at them they would shy away and close themselves off.

Does your creative process also extend to other fandoms? Pairings? Novels or stories with original characters?

I started to lay down the basics for my own original novel and I can’t wait to start. I wanted to write it for years and now I finally got the right motivation and the right mindset.

Aside from Thiam, I have written some fanfictions for Charmed since that’s one of my favorite tv shows. And I have some Stucky fanfictions started as well as the base for a Malec fanfiction that lingers in the back of my mind.  But Thiam is definitively the ship that inspires me the most and I wrote the most about.

An original novel, that’s awesome! What genre are you setting it in? Also supernatural?

It is a novel playing in this day and age but it’s all about the supernatural world mixed with the normal world of the humans. Think Charmed or Shadowhunters. You have the innocent humans living without actually knowing that demon witches, vampires and such live among them. The supernatural society is still in the focus of the novel.

That sounds awesome. Would you say there’s one trope or situation that somehow always wrangles itself in your stories?

I try my best to use different tropes and situations to challenge myself as a writer but one thing that happens for sure is character A watching character B and marveling around how gorgeous they look and how stunning they are. Just some good old-fashioned swooning. I just like to imagine one person being so completely enamored by another person that they have to stop and stare for a while because they sight is breathtaking. And the other person is either completely oblivious and continues with what they do, or knows exactly what they are doing, smirk at person A and preen at the attention.

And yes, friends to lovers, I’m a sucker for this.

Who isn’t really?! What’s the best friends to lovers story you’ve ever read, either fanfiction or novel? (Or one of the best, since they’re probably so many to choose from)

I guess it’s one of the greatest tropes out there haha. Puh, I read so many great stories and novels about that trope, it’s hard to tell. I remember a novel I once read (I can’t remember the title  or the character names though) where this was one of the main story lines but it really took the whole novel for them to finally become a couple and yet while reading you saw their relationship growing and evolving. That’s what I always try to achieve with my stories. 

I also read a Malec fanfic once where both were human but Magnus was a tattoo artist and Alec a florist. They got to know each other and it was simply perfect, Magnus helped Alec with some things and it was just adorable and awesome and amazing. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the title of this one either. I will search for it and maybe give it a shout out later when I found it again because it was really good

Oh, I’ve read that Malec fic, so good! There’s a fantastic MM novel called Switched—I think—by N.R. Walker that’s friends to lovers and I read it in one night. It’s just something about two people, who know one another in and out, coming together, more sighs.

I’d love to jump into your Thiam works. First, the Raeken Twins and your story, Finding My Way To You. Do you have any twins headcanons/imagines which helped you bring Mike Raeken to life?

I got this awesome ask one day about Theo and Mike from PPL being twins and my mind began to rattle. I thought about Theo, his personality, and began to develop someone who would be Theo’s complete opposite. Pretty Little Liars helped a lot because Mike was a sweetheart there, at least until the point where I stopped watching the show. I absolutely loved the idea of Theo having someone to take care of and protect, being a big brother.

I had a vague scene in my mind where Theo berates Mike for being too trusting and Mike just rolls his eyes and tells his big brother to relax. That was the base on where I developed the Raeken Twins. I wanted somebody who was the opposite of Theo but I didn’t want to go completely black and white and so I carved out Mike’s character more, gave him some rough edges as well.

It is fun to play around with the aspect of Theo having his counterpart who at the same time gets him to a T and has someone he always aimed to protect. He may act like he doesn’t care but it had always been my headcanon that he would do anything for Mike and Mike is that one person who knows everything about Theo and who also knows Theo does in fact care

So, if Mike Raeken was part of the Pack and the TW universe, how would he handle these few scenarios:

a: Who would be his pack allies, the pack members he’d bond with? Who would be his pack friend-enemies?

Mike, just like his brother, would become a member of the puppy pack because Mike’s a puppy too. He’d probably bond the most with Nolan and Corey because they share the most character traits with them being kind of cute and sometimes awkward. Brett would be his crush for sure. But he would also be good friends with Liam and totally root for Thiam.

Friendenemies? Good question.  He’s not as harsh as Theo so he probably would not really have problems with the people around. Unless you come for his brother, then he will end you.

b: In a Supernatural crisis, how would he respond?

That clearly depends on the situation. When it comes to facing an enemy and taking them down, Mike’s a fighter and goes into the full experience. He is fast, he is agile, he is ruthless. But if it comes to protecting the people he cares about, he gets very defensive and worries more about them and bringing them to safety than taking part in the fight itself. He’s not even afraid to charge in and drag the person out of the fight (especially his brother). Mike is pretty level-headed and can stay calm even if times get rough. He checks a situation, makes his own theories about it, but he mostly stays in the background, lets the others talk and discuss, and only interferes when he feels like it’s not going anywhere. But most of the times he is fine with just watching and striking when it’s the right time.

c: One hilarious scenario you think would occur between him, Theo, and other member of the pack?

They would pull a Switch-A-Raeken so often to confuse the pack and get their laughs out of this. Liam is probably the only one who can tell them apart because he pays so close attention to them (mostly Theo though) but the others always get totally confused and the twins love to switch even during a conversation to completely confuse everyone.

One situation I find absolutely hilarious and I will write one day would involve the Sheriff, probably to introduce them as twins. One twin gets arrested, the other shows up to bail him out. Stilinski is in his office when suddenly one of the deputies knocks at the door. He calls them in and they open the door, slightly nervous. “We…uhm…have a situation here with the boy we arrested. You might want to check? He said you surely would love that.” The sheriff narrows his eyes and gets up from his chair. He walks out of his office and there they are. Two identical smirks on their faces and casually leaned against the backrest of the bench in front of his office. “Hey, Sheriff!” One of them says. Stilinski is baffled, moments pass by. He finally finds his voice again. “There are two of them? Because one Raeken wasn’t enough???” He yells, voice cracking at the end. He scratches his neck and grimaces. The twins’ smirks intensify. The deputy ducks away and hides behind the computer screen.

Rofl, I hope you do write it! Are you planning to continue Finding My Way To You too? Any spoilers you can slip us?

I am definitely planning to but I have more prominent ideas for A tale written with fangs and claws and other stories at the moment. I do have written some part of the next chapter still. I love this story and the feedback I received was wonderful. Raeken Twins are a fun thing to write about, so expect more to come.

For a spoiler, I will tell you we will have some drama, much love and yes also smut. There will be a slightly different take on the Dread Doctors spin because I am dissecting the storyline a bit to make it more fitting for Finding My Way To You. There will be a shift in the relationship between the twins as well. For everything else, you need to stay tuned ;D

Well, I suppose we must now haha. Until then, we have all of a Tale of Fangs and Claws to keep ourselves busy. Speaking of….a Tale of Fangs and Claws Time!! (I held out for this long; I’m proud of myself.) For anyone unfamiliar, could you give us a quick synopsis? What inspired the idea? 

Whooo!!  The story is about Liam becoming an Alpha when he least expects it. He and Theo are living in Seattle, are roommates in college, and totally in love with each other but they both feel the other might not return their feelings in the beginning. Theo still joins Liam’s pack and together they return to Seattle. The story follows Liam’s journey in his new role, especially when other werewolves appear and Liam and Theo soon have a pack of their own to take care of. They become a family, face many battles and they all learn more about each other and their strengths and weaknesses, help to find their place in the world.

My inspiration for this came from the sole wish to see Liam as Alpha. I think he would be a great Alpha and would have loved to see it happen at the end of the show as some kind of next-generation thing with the older pack members leaving Beacon Hills and him taking over from Scott. The more I thought about this, the bigger the need for Alpha!Liam became and I started to imagine his pack, created their characters a little bit and searched for faceclaims. It took me a while until I finally started to write the story; until I had a decent enough base to actually imagine turning this into a multi-chapter fic and upload it.  Add me playing around with my basic photoshop program and create some Liam as Alpha manips and the inspiration was there. It came to the point where I could no longer hold back and thus I uploaded the prologue. I never imagined the success it would have and I am still amazed by this.

Wow, and it’s almost 300,000 words long! First, huge congrats on being the longest Thiam fic thus far! Is this the longest story you’ve ever written? Did you originally plan all the chapters or has it reshaped itself? Would you say you have a secret to writing longer fics while also keeping your personal interest high?

It’s crazy! Thank you so much!! I have to say I never expected this to turn out so huge, I still can’t believe it. Every time I check the chapter numbers, it still feels so unreal. When I started, I had no idea how long this would be. I had basic elements and certain points I wanted to have happen but everything else was non-existent in the beginning. It still is nowadays because that’s how I write. I don’t have everything planned out and so my own story keeps surprising me but I love this.  I’m writing a chapter and some things are coming to my mind while I’m writing and I take a break to consider, bring this in a vague timeline, and then continue writing.

 I admire people whohave every little detail plannedout but I’m so not like this and I had it happen to me that I wrote a chapter completely different than I intended to. Because my thoughts didn’t work as good as the thing I had been actually writing, if that makes sense. Sure, I have some scenes I have in mind for a long time and while I have not every word planned out, I have a pretty solid image of the scenes. Theo’s development for example. I knew how I want to have the big moments to happen and I am even more excited than usual when it is time to write it.

The story is indeed the longest I have ever written until now.  Who knows what the future has in store? :D

I wouldn’t exactly call it a secret. Thiam itself inspires me so much and receiving so much feedback from so many people is also a very good source of motivation, not gonna lie. This story, the reactions I got from people, has made me feel better about my talent as a writer and that fueled my passion. I associate so many great things with this story and I got attached to every single character that writing a new chapter feels like coming home. I see them as part of my family, my babies if you want, and I am curious to see how they develop further. That’s what keeps me inspired to make this story longer and longer. I’d say the secret, in general, is creating something you truly love, no matter how cliche this sounds. Create this word that is truly you that brings yourself joy and I’m sure you won’t lose interest.

Yes, I so agree! When I was writing my main Stacksonstory, I fell so in love with the characters and the progress of the story! And then to be able to talk about them with so many people, it definitely kept the thoughts coming, even long after I finished it!

Exactly what happened to me with A tale written with fangs and claws! It is wonderful to have such great response and it’s a great source of motivation. I get so many ideas for this story just by reading comments or talking with people. That’s the beauty of fanfiction I think.

Most definitely! Would you then say any of your original characters are based on people you know personally?

Actually no.  I was more inspired by fictional characters, took some things from them, and created my own individual character. If there are any resemblances I haven’t noticed them yet but hey, maybe I will someday^^

Maybe, who knows what might happen. Not us, certainly. Thinking forward, is there one thing you’re dying to add in the story but you have to write a few more chapter before it comes up?

Liam’s and Theo’s wedding! I am dying to write this since a few chapters and everyone who read the last chapter knows I’m toying around with this thing a bit but I really, really can’t wait to write their wedding. It will happen one day and I am excited about it but it will take some more (a lot more) chapters until we can get there.

Yessssss, we’ll be patiently waiting until then! Before we wind down, I’d love to give you a time to impart some wisdom onto us. Any life hacks or creative wisdom on your mind lately?

It is important to figure out what works best for you and never let anybody butt in, writing-wise and in life too. I had to learn this myself but there will be people telling you how you should do a certain thing and then you need to figure out if this is really the best for you. I’m not saying you should not take advice, you definitely should, but it is okay to change this advice, maybe combine it with the advice you got from someone else and create your own special way to get things done. There might be people who are very critical of how you work, how you handle things, and sometimes it can really get to you and be a bummer but it is important to remember that as long as it good for you, as long as it helps you get something done the way you want it to, it’s the right way for you. Your own opinion and your own wellbeing are more important than what some might think are the right thing for you. Your way is the right thing and great things will come from this, just stay true to yourself even when it’s hard sometimes

Also: Allow yourself to change. What was on your mind a year ago, what you wrote a year ago, doesn’t become less valid just because you changed your perspective. You are ever-changing and there will be moments where you realize that your old mindset doesn’t apply to the situation anymore, not to the person you became anymore. That’s okay. It doesn’t take anything away from the progress you made before, doesn’t take anything away from what you created back then. It simply shows your development as a writer, as a person, and that’s a fascinating progress.

Thank you so much for your honesty and depth. Aww, well, we reached the end of our time, Rena! Luckily, we’ve learned so much about you in our short time together. To end us out, what’s next for you? Any big plans?

I have several projects planned. In terms of fanfiction, I’m planning a sequel to A tale written with fangs and claws if I finish the story, I’m planning on continuing my Mated series, Finding My Way To You will be continued as well, and there are several other fanfictions on the line. I’m also planning on finally writing my first original novel, something I’m very excited about.  Those are the things I have planned, who knows what else is gonna happen? Life is full of surprises.

Good luck with your novel! And all the other bundles of surprises and happiness that are whirling your way. Is there anything else you’d like to share? The mic’s in your hands.

It’s okay to struggle. I sometimes feel like the standards expect everyone to be perfect at anything they do and it can be really frustrating when you feel like you’re not reaching these standards. You feel like a failure and it’s a horrible thing to feel. I had so many moments where I felt like I would never reach the standard for that thing to be considered good or even great and it took me a long time to learn not to always compare myself to others and be proud of who I am, my talents, what I create. I still feel like I’m not good enough sometimes but every time I struggle, I learn new things about myself and that’s what made me realize it is okay to struggle. You learn next to nothing when you don’t struggle and ease everything perfectly on the first try.

Sure, it’s great to have a lift first time you do something, it’s even important to be a natural in some things, but I also know that struggling causes doubts and insecurities because you feel like anybody else doesn’t seem to struggle at all. What I’m trying to say is embrace your struggles as part of your development process on becoming the best version of yourself that you can be. And remember: Nobody has the same story to tell as you. The world needs to hear yours, don’t let the doubts take this away from you. It’s a long and difficult way to go but it’s worth it in the end.

Thanks so much Rena! It was a freaking blast getting to know you and your life, inspirations, and quirky interests haha! 

Thankfully, the conversation doesn’t have to end here. To chat with her about her works, Thiam, Teen Wolf, even Wrestling, you can find Rena at these three places:  

AO3: Former_Princess

Tumblr: formerprincess

Ask Box: formerprincessask

In her words, “It’s more than okay! I love getting asks, messages. I’d even love to get a carrier pigeon. I am a shy noodle myself but I absolutely love to interact with people and have them interact with me. Ask as many questions as you want, send in as many things as you want, you will never bother me and in fact make me very happy. Also - on a non fandom related note - myaskbox is always open for anybody who needs somebody to listen to them.”

She’s also currently accepting prompts, though it might take her a while to get to them–you know busy lives and what not. So, feel free to “send in things, share your thoughts, headcanons, and everything else,” with her. (Also, her words!)

Thanks so much for reading. We will see you next week as we get to know about fandomtrashwhore, aka Marie, our resident Thiam Social Media expert. Until then!

Shibboleth’s Dungeon and Aftercare Garden PART 1: The Dungeon

LV

The purpose a dungeon serves may mean different things to different people, but to Shibboleth a dungeon is used for correction and guidance. It is not a place of cruelty, although on the surface, a dungeon might appear to invite just that. As a Dom, Shibboleth practices correction when his subs mess with him or piss him off. 

Shibboleth’s dungeon is set up for the scenes he anticipates playing out, typically starting with discipline while sitting in the A+ Daddy's Chair 2.32 created and sold by Archdemon.   Then, depending on his mood, Shibb may continue with the BH fur bondage bed, which is RLV driven (as are most of these creations), or the BDSM Bed, classic v3 by Nihil Animations.  Lesser used items in the room include the Slave Cage and the Black Metal Powercage by Akaesha, which Shibboleth has dubbed “the cube.”

The Cube sits in the far left corner, below:

BH Fur Bondage Bed:

The Daddy’s chair is meant to be the main focal point of the dungeon, and sits facing the rest of the room.  

A popular item I have seen in many dungeons is the sacrificial cross.  Shibboleth has two of these standing behind the Daddy’s Chair: The. *KL* Multipose St. Andrews Cross, created by KL Kiki is red and the *GEL* RLV Bondage Cross,6.0 is black.  Crosses are very good ways to restrain and punish submissives and they are a good aesthetic addition to any dungeon.

The dungeon itself evokes a sinister and daunting sense of foreboding.  You hear the creaking of the rigging on the gallows and bondage devices. The sinful pleasures slideshow displays enthralling scenes that mesmerize you, and yet at the same time appear agitating and demoralizing, digging up deep apprehension and making you want to look away. But do you? Do you turn away, or keep watching as the scenes change? 

It is obvious that this is a place of punishment and pain, but again, it is not a place of cruelty. This is a place of purposeful correction.  

The dungeon itself is a low-prim skybox with dungeon textures. The skybox is located on Shibboleth’s land, and is only one of many features and buildings on this particular SIm.  Shibb explained that he started creation of the dungeon with a texture and a scenery he enjoyed, and built from there.  He built from the outside in, and the furniture and instruments are arranged in symmetry. 

If you wish to shop for items to create your own customized dungeon, here are some of the places you may wish to visit.  Remember, a dungeon is matter of very personal tastes and choices. If you choose to build your own, take careful time in planning what you really want to do in it. Put a lot of thought into the torture methods you wish to utilize, and what types of punishments you desire to mete out. It is important to select devices and pieces that can bring your most desired scenes to life. 

Shibboleth’s dungeon has been used in Machima Porn scenes, and you may watch it in action here:
