How Duo Made Me Nostalgic

There is a sentence in the Chinese course on Duo:

They (girls) want hot milk.

It reminded me about an episode from my crazy times in the university. I have many crazy and fun memories about my 1990-s, but I treasure this one a lot.

So, it was winter 1996-1997, my second year in the university. My bff and I went to the Altai Mountains for winter break. Students could get a tour for half of the price, so we saved and rewarded ourselves with a pleasant winter vacation.

The camping was in Manzherok, near a very fast, only partially frozen river, and, of course, mountains. The setup looked exactly like this:

Mountains and white snow created magic: when it was -4F/-20C outside, we didn't feel cold at all, because sun reflected from the snow, and there was no wind, as mountains protected the area.

We were the only two linguists in the group, other students were either economists or law school students. And, gosh, they drank. I liked fun and was no stranger to alcohol, but it was a bit too much for me.

So, one night, when the rest of the group was particularly in the mood to get drunk, my bff and I decided to explore the surroundings. The plan was: to climb to the nearest mountain and watch the area from up there. Only one little nuance that we ignored: there was a river in our way to the mountain. and it wasn't fully frozen.

Yet, we didn't stop and managed to cross the river through its frozen parts (in the dead of night). And we indeed climbed to the mountain, at night. When we reached the peak, clouds went away, and we saw a starry sky and the Moon with the beautiful purple halo. We were on the top of the world.

And then we had to go down, down, down. It was the largest slide I've ever had! We literally slid down, trying to avoid pines and particularly large rocks. We only stopped when we reached the river again.

We looked like two huge snowballs, and we laughed and laughed, because it was the stupidest and craziest thing we could do.

When we finally got back to the camping we realized that we were hungry as wolves. Adrenalin faded out, and our bodies demanded for energy recharge.

We had hot chocolate powder in our room. But we needed hot milk. And we went to a canteen at 4 am, and asked a guard for hot milk.

Surprisingly, he found a jar with fresh goat milk and allowed us to boil the milk right in the canteen. The hot chocolate that we drank that night was the sweetest thing on Earth for me.

In the morning, our guide told us that if we went out to the mountains at night one more time, she would send us home right away. But it was too late, we already got what we wanted. Looking back, I do realize that we could break our necks many times, we could drawn in the river and our bodies wouldn't be found until spring, we could get lost in the mountains... But who cares? We saw the purple lunar halo from the top of the mountain! And, yes, we desperately wanted hot milk :)

Funniest old timey expression is saying you are 'with child' when you're excitedly anticipating something, can you imagine if we brought that back

'Dude, you looking forward to going out to the party tomorrow night?'

imma ramble but chomaiyos having a singing stream and someone in chat requested sori sawada's lets go see the light show (or something like that) and ONE) ive been thinking about that one again recently.....because i think that one + sori sawadas latest(?) album has things that fit into the akira scenarios/potentials in my mind but its also so specific to ME that...!?!??! but theres this one line that is like "dont cry, the me reflected in the window" that HAUNTS me since i first heard this song and i like those kind of things SO much sorry i cant stop thinking about that line (as well as the entire theme of the song is SO im the target audience) but. i think its works especially for akiras kind of vibe but im also very aware its the kind of line id just put on Anyone<3 but that song + keenos glow has been on LOOP in my mind n i alrdy talked about glow so. and now since choma sang it live anyway...................im here

#stardust speaking ! #someone asked him to sing astronauts too and he went can i rly do it.......and put it up lile 'astronauts(?)' #then he did it (him w astronauts is SO goodT_T astronauts makes me so emotional i miss powapowa...) and changed it too 'astronauts(!)' LOOL #chomas as oldtime fav........a LOT of his covers + the ppl in his chat anyway requests so many songs i love LOLLLLL #i lov making txt posts that makes no sense but these r the kinda things i think about #chomaiyo nandemonaiya........;_; (associates its with gran more but AUGH nandemonaiya........... #july msq i am begging i dont wanna dig thro the last stream to find the roadmap n be ._. at them #i miss fenrir n loki n co so bad

random ellie hcs because i miss her dearly ༊*·˚

no warnings really, just hcs lol

ׂׂ

ׂׂૢ she’s a car girl and would definitely drive an old dodge charger if she got her hands onto one. she’d do all the tuning herself and dreams of an huge collection of cars, be it JDMs or oldtimers.

ׂׂૢ also when you first got to know her she was quite closed up. that quickly changed once she got more comfortable also with being touched. ellie has a hard time allowing physical affection, but once she jumped over that barrier, that girl is holding onto you for dear life.

ׂׂૢ high-functioning stoner. yes, stoner! ellie is my favourite, but i’m convinced she can do anything high. drive a car? easy. go to work? easy. fuck your brains out? EASY. perhaps she has an little dependency problem going on, but she doesn’t see it as such.

ׂׂૢ she doesnt seem like it, but i am certain she is the sweetest sweetheart. awkward for sure, but she’s trying her best to always make sure you’re safe and happy. anything for her girl <3

ׂׂૢ in addition to that, ellie DEMANDS you to let her know when you’re home safe. not because she’s controlling but because she genuinely cares! if you don’t text she’ll text you something like “babe, are you okay??”

ׂׂૢ she 100% is a card game enjoyer. just see her playing poker with her friends, cigarette or joint between her lips, the straightest poker face of them all… passing away

ׂׂૢ ellie loves 70s / 80s rock. convinced. black sabbath is her favourite.

ׂׂૢ loves cuddling on the couch but needs space in bed. i dont really know how to explain this one tbh. very rarely she’ll cuddle while falling asleep, mostly when you or she is feeling bad. if it’s just for napping though then she needs all the cuddles you can give !

thats it. i miss ellie :(

I'm so tired of the negativity I see in some corners of the community, so here are some things I love about the TS2 community in 2023...

I love that there still even is a community of active players and creators more than 18 years after the game came out

I love that new players are picking up this game that's older than some of them

I love how active the CC making side of the community still is

I love seeing newcomers learning how to install, play, and create

I love oldtimers, those who are still here and those who went away for a while and came back

I love that this game pulls so many of us back

I love that even though EAxis has fully abandoned us, we're still getting influxes of new stuff every time they put out new TS4 DLC

I love that we get all that new stuff for FREE

I love that EAxis has so deeply forgotten us that the game is openly posted for free

I love All-In-One installers

I love things that deeply change the game...height mods, 50 lifetime wants, traits, etc

I love that as TS2 gets older, the variety of gameplay and CC styles just keeps getting bigger

This game has been a part of my life, off and on, for almost half of my 40 years. The greater Sims franchise and community has been part of my life since my late teens. It can only delight me to see that others still find joy, a creative outlet, and a community in and around this game.

Underrated RinHaru Content Gems

After thinking and thinking about how to truly celebrate the greatest #rinharumemories for the 10th anniversary, I have come upon a solution! I just finished updating the Rin Matsuoka Translation Masterlist so I'm going to share with you my fave RinHaru content that's often underappreciated by all but the most hardcore fans.

This will not be content from any of the anime series/movies. I'm also skipping bigtime things like the Duet Drama, S2 Drama CDs, S3 Drama CDs and the Mook because PEOPLE BETTER KNOW ABOUT THOSE. It will be entirely extra material, but it is 100% recommended to all RinHaru fans to get those memories flowing!

In order of release:

Style 5 Interview from S1 Final DVD: Do you love RinHaru teasing each other and Rin being tsun? This is the content for you!

Haruka vs Rin, The Crab Festival's Peak Playoff from S1 Drama CD2: Crab battoru! Need I say more? Also Rin and Haru do their strip thing. Nonstop hilarity at its finest!

A Promise of Rainbows from Illustration Works 1: Have you heard oldtime RHers going on about RinHaru and rainbows? This is the reason. Haru reflects on young Rin making rainbows for him while playing in the pool. It gets cuter from there...

S1 Endcards Skit: Notorious for the image of Rin bridal carrying Haru but so much more nonsense can be found. Some of the best of RinHaru bickering. XD

The Missing Endcard Skit: No part of this madness isn't amazing. A truth or dare strip game Free style.

RinHaru Interview from S2 DVDs: Do you love Haru being the ABSOLUTE KING OF SNARK? This is where the fan-favorite "Looks like you’ve got it rough—Oniichan." comes from and also has so much of crybaby shark.

Ano Natsu no Long Slow Distance: If you haven't read/listened to this, you've done yourself a deep disservice. This is some of the best blend of snarky and soft RinHaru, including Rin borrowing Haru's shirt again and Rin asking Haru for ten of his best smiles. XD

RinHaru Text Chat from S3 DVDs: I have long said that the BEST part of Dive to the Future is the extras and this text chat is the perfect example. From the suggestive line of Haru telling Rin he forgot him to a forgotten water bottle to just being awesome rivals, a must read.

Rin After Talk from S3 Rin Spotlight: The highlight of this is Rin's description of attempting to meet up at the marketplace and chaos ensues. But also includes Rin talking about exchanging recipes with Haru and getting an Aussie souvenir for Haru. :3

Special Memory Episode 4 from S3 Rin Spotlight: Short and sweet but can you resist Rin teasing Haru about having delicate skin? XD

Special Memory Episode 2 from S3 Haru Spotlight: Another short and sweet and has my guilty pleasure of Rin teasing Haru about blushing. >>

Haruka's Birthday Story 2020: The follow-up to Rin and Haru exchanging recipes, where Rin finally decides to give into Haru's special tastes.

Hi everyone! sorry but I'm temporarily putting a different thing here cause I need to do some edits on my art ^^ it will be back soon before you know it! Thanks for your patience ❤️

He's a lot like a grouchy oldtimer, except that he isn't *that* old. He just loves ranting and complaining. A big monster diva with six legs and an attitude!

what is a super licence i want one. also hi im not into f1 but i am into oldtimers and jdm can i join the cars club :]

OOOOOOOH YES PLEASE DO JOIN (ID LOVE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT JDM AND OLD CARS, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR ALL TIME FAV CAR?)

Anyways a super license is a license given out by the governing body of Motorsport, the F.I.A. To earn a licence, you must collect super license points by participating in another series such as but not limited to INDYCAR, Formula 2, and more recently The F1 Academy.

Superlicense points can also be taken away as a penalty. Too many points lost and you lose your F1 seat.

Dragonquest

Ok I finally finished it!

Warning for frank spoilers about a half-century old book.

There really wasn't much questing, was there? Does the title refer to the very end, with F'nor going to the Red Star? Or did the publishers title it Dragon+rando-fantasy word-here, to get people interested? Because the whole plot was a bunch of people talking to each other with varying degrees of success.

I think it's a miracle I finally sorted who everyone was by the end of it. I can now tell apart F'nor and F'lar. I hate those names so much.

Things I liked:

Lessa is allowed to be judgemental and wrong about things. She's still a bitch! She's still talented at manipulating people! She's still respected by people! Love that actually

Lessa and F'lar as a couple, actually. THE SNARK and then all those tender touches betraying their deeper feelings? UGH

FIRE LIZARDS

A bunch of leaders of the land squabbling like school children over who gets to look in a telescope!!! PERFECT SCENE 11/10

The status is never quo. Seriously, McCaffrey establishes something and then in the next chapter cheerfully upends it. The political structure of the land keeps shifting, people's opinions shift (or don't) to accomodate technological rediscoveries or innovations, the friction between Oldtimers and everyone else makes so much sense and I'm so glad that's the plot point book 2 opens on!

And F'nor actually Did The Thing and went to the Red Star! That was super epic!!

Dragons. Draaaagons. Dragondragondragon. I love them all.

Things I was significantly less fond of:

Why is Kylara's entirely plotline Like That? Why have her slut shamed when she could have just been written as greedy and foolish??? Kylara can be an awful person that's cool, but the way she was written was Bad and didn't have to be like that. She could've been an interesting foil for Lessa (and Brekke I guess)... but she wasn't. We don't even find out how she feels about her dragon dying!

Brekke, to be honest. She's boring af, her romance with F'nor is trite, and the most exciting part of her narrative was when her dragon died. Rip Wirenth poor thing, but that dragon queen battle scene WAS riveting, so I did enjoy that. I wanted to like Brekke but there was no hook, nothing that made me feel anything about her one way or the other

There are too many male characters doing stuff and not enough ladies, but honestly for sci fi of that time period it's not the worst offender

I don't know why everyone on Pern is repulsed by grubs so much tbh?

In general though, I liked Dragonquest! But it did... it did... drag on. (Yes, I went there. Deal with it. :3)

It had some middle book pacing issues. I enjoy that it didn't have a traditional three-part structure, but the beginning was slooooow and I didn't have much investment with the many many (mostly male) characters... and it was hard to keep up with them! The description is quite sparse, so it's hard to attach any sensory memory to the characters. I should have flipped to the back more to refresh on who was the lord of what, etc.

But yeah, generally very interesting. I like the conflicts that happen most of the time, I think the central conflict of Pern vs Thread/spores is actually really interesting and such a refreshing change from a lot of fantasy I've read lately. This book is truly about a lot of logistical conversations, and I appreciate that. Flawed but interesting.

7/10 looking forward to the next installments.

#amber reads pern #dragonriders of pern #tbh I was looking forward to brekke having more sex crises #unfortunately then her dragon died #and then she had even less personality #SIGH #idk what ppl are going on with the sex stuff it's like mildly interesting at best and period typical at worst #you know what's actually way more interesting? grubs and telescopes #I am very here for High Telescope Drama #why aren't there any master women crafter peeps #can we have some of those in the next books plz

[lydiablackblade]

Honestly, this is stupid, but I still cannot get over they blew up the Bentley for real. I mean ...

Is this a rarity? Or not? How many functioning oldtimer Bentley is out there? They didn't even manage to find two matching one, not to mention finding two from the same year, and they just destroyed one of them o.O

I truly had a moment when I came to know this "fun" fact.

Edit: I was wrong, what a relief ^_^ see this post https://www.tumblr.com/scrapheapchallenge/727682707785678849/hello-neil-first-of-all-i-loved-s2-and-felt-the?source=share

You are with Pierre when he is visiting his nephews/nieces and he says he wants kids after and you guys start practicing/trying for it

his latest Insta post inspired me so much!

—————

The last week of the summer break Pierre and you spend as usual with his family. His parents rent a large house at the Côte d'Azur so that they can live with all their sons, their wives and grandchildren under one roof. It's chaotic, noisy and wonderful.

This week is absolutely sacred to Pierre. For several years now you have been taking part in this great tradition of the Gasly family. It is one of your highlights of the year. You love Pierre's family and they love you! Especially Pierre's mom is head over heels by you. You hit it off right away with her and even talk on the phone a few times a month. Without Pierre, which sometimes bothers him, because he thinks that you and his mother are keeping secrets from him.

You sunbathe with Pascale on the sun deck of the yacht, that Pierre has rented and watch the men doing water sports. Pierre wears his favorite orange swim shorts, by now his trademark, and keeps waving at you when passing by with the jet ski. Pascale grins, her youngest son still as enamored with you as the first day. You spend the whole day on the yacht, even have dinner there. Pierre is very busy with his youngest nephew, who is just learning to walk. Again and again the little one toddles up to him and falls joyfully into his arms. Everyone claps enthusiastically and your heart swells at this sight. Pierre loves his nieces and nephews so much. He would like to have children of his own, preferably 3. You are sure that he will be a great father one day.

Arm in arm, Pierre and you leave the yacht and get into the turquoise oldtimer that he also has rented. While Pierre confidently steers the vintage car along the coast, you lean back on the beige upholstery and enjoy the summer breeze. Pierre reaches for your hand, leads it to his mouth and covers the back of your hand with kisses. You are really lucky to have him. Pierre is the most generous and loving person you have ever met.

"I love you!" you say as you watch him continue kissing your hand.

"And I love you!" he replies directly, looking at you over his sunglasses on his nose with a smile. You can't help but snuggle up to him and kiss his strong neck. Pierre grins at your caresses, "Mon cœur, can't you be patient until we get home?“.

"With your entire family?" you laugh, "Forget it!".

"Then we'll just have to be quiet..."

You both decide to drive along the coast a little longer. The house would be a bit chaotic now anyway, since it's bedtime for the kids. Pierre drives to a small bar not far from the house and you two linger there for a while, before you arrive back at the family domicile after midnight. Everyone else already went to bed and Pierre and you have to sneak quietly into your shared room. Which is not that easy, since Pierre pushes you with his hands on your hips in front of him and meanwhile kisses the crook of your neck. His beard stubble tickles you and the 2 glasses of wine you had before made you even giggle more.

"Shhhh." admonishes Pierre, "we have to be quiet.".

Finally you made it to the bedroom and as the door falls into the lock, so do your clothes on to the floor. Pierre pushes you onto the bed and leans over you to kiss you passionately. His kisses travel from your lips, to your neck, over your breasts and down to your belly. He stops and looks up at you. Your eyes meet. You look at him questioningly.

"I'd love to see you with a round belly." he murmurs against your skin, kissing it again while keeping eye contact with you, "A little you and me, what do you think?".

You knew you wanted to be a mother someday and starting a family with Pierre would be a dream! You stroke your hands through his hair and smile at him, "Let's make a baby.".

ooooh love to hear more about your oc Street racing 👀👀👀

WELL! theyre kind of a nice middle ground between a sona and an oc, so it isnt cringe that im basically imagining myself racing lolol :p

but yeah obvi theyre still pretty similar to me! grew up around car nerds, grew an interest in cars and (this is where i start making things up) fixed an oldtimer that was standing around. from there on i imagine theyd fall in love with driving oldtimers, buying and fixing them up themselves and always driving around with a trunk full of random parts for when something breaks (it always does)

from a young age theyve always participated in a car club, which is where their interest for racing started !

they have a tuned miata and a daf 55 for casual driving! and they dress up like crazyyyy for any kind of event be it a race, a meet or just going to the grocery store! they also looooove blasting nightcore while driving :]

#professional ask tag #i think the miata would be white and would have a bunch of plushies and the like on the inside #but NO rice to be clear. on either of the cars #also i just want to be clear this is just me living out a little fantasy life ^_^ thru my oc/sona traidy #i took so long answering this cuz ive been DRAWING them. and i wanted to include the drawing but i realized it was gonna take way long #so. look forward to that at some point? or dont idk.. but please do i spend so much effort on it already ^_^ #ANYWAYS thanks for asking and letting me rant about this character thats near and dear to my heart :]]]

[futchgunk]

okay if i dont talk about this somewhere im gonna explode

im so fucking cut up about finding my headphones on my neighbor on the T, and having not contacted me about them at all!! They were a present from my lover and i didnt even recognize them as lost bc i thought i could trust my neighbors to be like 'hey these wireless headphones showed up at this house, are these yours we r trying to find the owner'. This was extra damaging for me bc i get really sensitive abt losing things bc of my biomom so like i didnt want to confront me losing a gift my lover got me, esp when i didnt even know where to start looking.

This is the same group of people who i was ostracized by and the biggest reach of support to me during my ostracization was 'im so sorry this is happened/happening to you'. It feels so transphobic!! it feels.. racist??!! it feels like transmisogynoir coming from the tranny eggpunk band AND the tranny hardcore band. like i feel like never knew these people that ive been hanging around with for a year+. i feel like all the love, time, and energy i had was just me making a clown out of myself to entertain more white people. like i got so enraged and upset about this i had to ask my alter to front so i could avoid exhausting myself crying over it and feel some sense of control/stability.

im so angry and a lost rn. as a tpoc im noticing my survival (social confirmity) to bend and shape myself to accomodate white fragility and im so sick of it. like i feel like social injustice has been done to me and instead of talking about it or feel any sense of catharis, i have to swallow hot viscous, bile and choke the tears down, say i dont feel degraded, pick up my pieces and find more koolaid to drink.

like if im gonna get demonized by both majority society and non-marginalized society, i might as well be where i wanna be and do what i wanna do and look how i wanna look because it wont fucking matter what everyone else thinks im just a rock too heavy to hold on to; a demon unwelcome en masse.

it hurts so much bc im trying to be a voice for community and community praxis. like i want to be able to help anyone if someone asks. welcome newcomers and oldtimers. i want to dissipate structures in your life, if even just for a moment. if i could make you a meal just so you could use the time for meal prep for whatever you wanted. i want to do your chores for you, if youre okay with it, even if we have never talked about it. i want to help you move along your life-goals/journey/passion. if you told me an arbitrary action would bear fruit for you, i will treat the soil and sew the seeds, not caring about whether or not i would get any fruit.

theres a feeling that im trying to describe. when youre held so still and taut and exhausted. so flush with exertion that you would cut your strings/supports just to feel the cool rush of air just for a moment, unthinking about how far the fall is. but you just one some semblance of control, an iota of self-determined significant action, no matter the magnitude of (perceived) self-destruction.

idk i would start all over again and make new friends but that means that transmisogny wins again?!! in my own fucking backyard!! transgirls can be complicit in transmisogny and the black transgirl is the victim!! how rich??!! right before the whipping girl reading group how fucking ironic.

#u can interact w this post #im gonna talk to my best friend about this on thursday #im feeling like i never wanna go to any koqueen or nursejoy gig ever again #i wanna go to the next koqueen and yawn throughout the set and burn my shirt #i think i would have so much more fun at ska shows or raves #transmisogyny #transmisogynoir
