German* food poll but we have meatless options
A while ago everyone did those regional food polls and i wanted to do one back then but forgot... anyway. If you don't eat meat the options can be very limited in (traditional) restaurants around here. I wanted to do one with dishes that don't typically contain meat or can at least be easily adapted. Also yes this is kind of based on both my personal tastes and experiences so it's biased towards southern food, lmao. If you're vegan please just pretend it's a vegan version it's almost impossible to find options otherwise
*yes some of these are technically considered to be from Austria or France but they're still incredibly common in the regions near the border.

GW2 VS Art Party (oct), of Laerling for @sylvaridreams!!
Damaaaa, I loved your pretty icey sylvari!!! They're so cool!!! (metaphorically and physically). Sorry I got a bit carried away and took some artistic liberties~ I gave them icicles and their encased root hair crown into ice as well (based on a really pretty weather phenomenon I've seen irl).

One of the biggest differences in the dsmp vs qsmp storyline (purely story line and lore) is that. In the dsmp there was no hope in the end. There only could ever have been a bittersweet ending, a double edged sword, a moving on but never truely healing. There was only wars and trauma and hatred. Everyone separated, there was no family anymore there was no love, no friends. The only somewhat happy ending i can think of was a Wilbur going back 'home' to Utah after apologizing to as many people as he could. There was no chance for a truely happy ending. It was all pain and angst and one final hurrah. However on the qsmp. At least for now. There is always some form of hope. When felps got kidnapped, Cellbit was going insane looking for him and others supported and helped him during it, there was always love there. When Cellbit got kidnapped himself, so many others looked for him and banded together. There is always love, family, hope. The residents trust each other, no one is left out, at least not intentionally. Even now, with that trust being tested, there are still laughs and joy. they made one of the NPCs into an actual character, they gave Walter bob his name, his clothes, even a face. He is cared for so much now. There is of course horrors, and traumas, and loss, but there is Love and Hope mixed in. It is balanced. When charlie lost juanaflippa, when quackity lost tilín, when max lost trump, there were people there for them, wether they realized it or not. When the eggs started dying and being attacked by codes and the island itself seemed like it was trying to kill them, Forever created N.I.N.H.O, a safe haven. Everyone trys so hard to stay together and united because they know it's them against the island, them against The Federation, and they don't stand a chance alone. But even then it's not only out of necessity, it's out of Care. There will always be hope. There will always be love. Ultimately, despite The Horrors, the qsmp is about connections, love, and hope. It's cheesy but it makes all the difference.

with the shift away from strictly defined fandom terms, i feel there's been some confusion about the difference between plain inspiration and remixes/recursive fic. ao3 sorts these under the blanket term of 'inspired work', but they're distinct forms of fic and require completely different etiquette.
ime most people want to create a welcoming, collaborative fandom community. the majority of missteps i've seen around inspired works have come more from a lack of awareness of fandom etiquette than actual malice. my aim here isn't to provide rules but rather to put names to some common types of fic-about-fic and the standard etiquette associated with them.
anyway, with all that being said, here are the definitions:
inspiration: this isn't a fandom term and doesn't mean anything specific. there's no hard and fast rule for when you should credit an inspired work or communicate with an author before posting it -- a good rule of thumb is that if it's quite close, it's at least worth adding a shout-out in your notes.
however: remixes and recursive fics do describe specific things, so the rules are a little more cut. the defining feature of both is that they use the original fic as source material. as such, you need to be much more thoughtful about how you proceed with them.
remix: remixes re-imagine an existing fic in some way. some common examples are: fics rewritten from an alternate POV, roleswaps or fics that use the same premise but alter the outcome or progression of events.
recursive fic: these are stories that use an existing fic as canon jumping-off point for their own. two common examples are: sequels, prequels, missing scenes fics
remixes and recursive fics ALWAYS have to be clearly and explicitly credited. i have literally never met any author in any fandom who would be okay with an uncredited remix or recursive fic.
there's some fandom-by-fandom variation in regards to whether or not one should ask the original author for permission before writing them, but it's usually good to assume they'd want to be asked. there's a lot of nuance in fandoms that have a culture of gifting remixes or recursive fics as surprises, but tbh it's just not that popular anymore so 'ask first' is a good default position.
anyway!! i think recursive fics and remixes are a really lovely part of fanfic culture. often they come from a place of love, enthusiasm and a desire to connect. i would never want to see them disappear. but if you're not clearly communicating that they are remixes/recursive fics (and checking in with the author to make sure they're wanted) they come across as disrespectful at best and plagarism at worst.

NOELANI 'AUKAI for @lotuso3o's call for celebrities!
Growing up in Sulani, Noelani knew from a young age they wanted to make music, even though it came as a surprise to their parents, who expected they might follow in their mom's conservationist footsteps or embrace their dad's mermadic heritage. Instead, they taught themself how to produce and DJ, started building social media hype via pop-up beach performances, and signed a record deal with indie electronic label, Dinky Beats. They've recently transplanted to Del Sol Valley to continue pursuing success, but are they on the road to becoming a musical legend or destined to be only a flash in the pan?
Although Noelani enjoys being the center of attention and experimenting with their style during performances, they're pretty low-key and introverted in their daily life. The typical celebrity lifestyle doesn't appeal to them. They just want people to like their music! But even a loner can't help craving companionship, especially in a brand new city. Noelani is nonbinary, uses they/them pronouns, and is attracted to feminine-presenting Sims. Their traits are creative, music lover, and loner, and their fame level is Rising Star (two stars).
Noelani is one of my previous legacy heirs who I decided to remake because I thought they would be perfect for this but never saved them to my library. Here's what their original version looked like, if you're curious!
