neighborhood kid pt.2 …

making progress! rlly like how illuminating this cas lighting is on sims, and love how it transfers to live mode on the sim profile in gameplay @vyxated <3

gonna edit a few of the kids/teens in @ratboysims save file (even tho they already look amazing, I’m just enhancing them a little with some skin details) !

once I’ve done enough, maybe I’ll put them up for download! cuz it rlly is a struggle to give your child sims some friends unless u have a diverse save file yk?

#ts4 wip #save file wip #just remembered the kids have to have parents #nooooo #help lmao #I’ll try to create a few #just don’t want burnout #maybe I won’t create a lot of kids #like 6 or 7 tops #simblr #sims 4 cas #rb

More misc. daily life pictures and such

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1 & 2 - Very bright pretty looking sky ! #2. HUGE icicle that looked like you could kill someone with it or something.. Pulled from near a gutter on the side of a building #3. & 4 & 5 - various images from a silly party I had where I pretended to be some elf king turning like 204 years old lol (also not like #a REAL party. Only my roommates were there really and we're all in the same household bubble. #just to clarify. I would never dare have a large party anyway given #my hermitous nature but on top of that.. didn't want there to be some implication that I'm having a Party while covid is still ongoing lol. #NEVER.. But I do love dressing up as some fantasy character so much.. The only thing that could ever bring a true hermit wizard #to engage with others socially is the prospect of connecting it somehow to fantasy worlds and costumes lol. One must simply dress up #as a silly 200 year old man from time to time and pretend you've never seen a balloon before in your life. etc. #6. bapy boye... feets #7. The main food that I made for the elderly elf man 'party'. which was a Deconstructed Beef Wellington (kind of as ajoke since I watch s #o many silly cooking competition shows and they always make stuff 'deconstructed' at the last minute when under time limits or whatever.) #I've wanted to make beef wellington a few times but Ithink to do it well I'd need like..an actual kitchen and a lot of time and #an oven that fully works to bake things and etc. etc. So I thought this would be an easier method. A thick steak cut round to kind of mimi #c the round tenderloin or whatever it is in a wellington. instead of the puff pastry being wrapped around - I just did star shaped cut outs #of pastry and baked them and put them on top (to go with the star theme). instead of mushroom duxelles being wrapped around in pastry #its in a little circle under the steak. and instead of mustard being brushed onto the meat I made a mustard gravy sauce type of thing #Then of course asparagus on the side.. my favorite... Though I know some wellington #also has a layer of prosciutto I think. or I saw one person use crepes. I didn't feel it was necessary to incorporate that too lol #8. bapy son helping me do a giant puzzle that took me hours and I had no idea it was actually that large of a puzzle #until I started putting it together and for some reason it made me stressed by the end instead of relaxed lol.. puzzle fatigue #photo diary

Honestly tired of the Taylor Swift private jet discourse like yeah she owns a private jet yeah it's wasteful and unnecessary but why do people get so worked up over that like... you all know that's common among rich people right? That your favorite famous pop singer most probably owns one too right??? That if we're going to hate on her for this unnecessary use of earth's resources we should do the same for your precious idols... right?

#like it's so silly seeing people go all about how they hate blondie for being rich and having a private jet and then not talk about #all the other rich people who also unnecessary owns a private jet #like on top of my head i can name at least 6 to 7 celebs i known for sure have one #but somehow i only see people bringing this up when it's about her #if you fave famous singer doesn't own one or if you're aware that they do and also complain about it this isn't about you amen

S4 Victims: Story by Proxy?

Okay so. In spitballing with Em...something stuck in my head.

So we all know how serial killers leave crumbs because deep down they want to be caught/want the truth to be revealed? Well what if the Duffers, or even current Henry, are doing the same thing. That is, leaving breadcrumbs.

This mainly has to do with the S4 victims, their stories, and the order in which they're chosen.

So, it goes like this:

Chrissy: Abusive mother who resembles Virginia

Fred: Eaten alive by the guilt of being responsible for the accidental death of an innocent.

Max: Suicidal over guilt about Billy's death and her response to it. Billy, who died saving her/while she was saving herself from the Fleshflayer, a regenerated form of the Mindflayer.

Patrick: Abusive father, not much else told.

Max (again): Suicidal Ideation, dies, soul taken, but was revived by El. She's now in some limbo-state, where her body lives but her identity/mind is elsewhere. She will likely be brought back entirely by El in S5.

It almost feels like a story by proxy if we piece it together.

So, let's piece it together:

Person with an abusive mother...feels responsible for the death of an innocent...a sibling who was killed while this person was trying to save themselves from a monster which came from Hawkins lab, which leaves them suicidal...and this person lives in a situation with an abusive father figure. This person becomes suicidal, and their suicide attempt was not entirely successful. They were revived by El, and end up in a limbo state. They may or may not be brought back by El later.

Now, let's collect details about our serial killer:

Abusive mother? Check. (No matter how we frame it, Virginia was not a good mother.)

Innocent died? Check. (Henry has nothing bad to say about Alice, which we know he would if she were not innocent, since he does this with every other victim.)

Sibling died as a result of saving oneself? Check. (The Creel massacre was a situation where Henry was, with whatever intentions we may assign for the other family members' deaths, trying to save himself from Virginia and by extension the lab.)

Ended up with an abusive father figure? Check. (Well...an abusive Papa, one might say.)

Brought back by El multiple times? Check. (El was the one who took Soteria out and brought Henry back from being powerless. El was the one who put Henry in the UD/limbo state. El was the one who opened the gate for his return to the RSU.)

IT ALL ALIGNS. So let's put it together with all the feelings involved:

Citations (I guess? Explanations?) are in the tags listed by number!

Henry had an abusive mother who was at least trying to have him shipped off to the lab, if not actually trying to kill him outright. This situation builds and builds, him wanting to be left alone (1), putting out subconscious and conscious cries for help (2), and her targeting him about it, until March 25th, 1959.

Virginia starts it, attacks, and this time she's out for blood (3). Henry defends himself (4). Virginia, being the parent with powers (5), doesn't actually die (6). Victor, Alice, and Henry go for the door (7). Virginia's on the stairs (8). She's got to finish what she started, since her original plan was botched (9). Henry puts his energy into trancing Victor (10), protecting him from Virginia, since logically two people can't occupy one person's mind.

This leaves good, innocent Alice to fend for herself, standing directly in front of the staircase. She's a loose end (11). Virginia kills her, but can't kill Henry or Victor while the trance is occurring. She figures Henry's going to run himself into the ground (12). She figures she can call Brenner in to collect Henry, like they planned (13). If she disappears, she figures it'll go into the news something like this:

"World War II veteran kills entire family in deranged fit of insanity. Wife missing, presumed dead. Son dies in hospital."

And on both counts, she's essentially right. It does basically go into the papers that way. Victor is taken in for murder, and Henry is taken by Brenner, but not before he sees that Alice was caught in the crossfire (14).

Henry ends up with Brenner, the abusive Papa. He's got the guilt about Alice's death, something that makes him sad and angry. Brenner, maybe, decides to push this in order to increase Henry's powers, but it backfires. Henry's powers increase, but he does...something. He lashes out, he snaps, maybe he even tries to kill himself. He's Brenner's prized pet, though, so Brenner can't let that happen. He seals Henry's powers away with Soteria. It's a death for Henry's entire identity, so far as to have him under the name Peter Ballard. Then comes along 011. She removes Soteria from Peter Ballard...and revives Henry Creel. She then exiles him to the Upside Down in 1979, only to eventually bring him back in 1983 when she opens the Mothergate.

All this to say: It could be his own story, told through the stories of his victims.

Breadcrumbs, or maybe...obvious things, which nobody by any chance ever observes.

Below the cut is where I speculate into motivations for his actions after Soteria's removal, so...not required reading for this particular analysis.

Years of MKUltra torture warp Henry's guilt about the situation into a bastardized, violent, brutal, unethical savior complex based in the notion that he's a predator by nature, but a predator for good. He "saves" the lab kids from a future like his own, filled with nothing but torture. He "saves" El from her ignorance about the lab and intended to have her join him, thereby attempting to "save" her, technically his little sister, from the lab entirely.

He "saves" his s4 victims from their guilt and suffering, which so closely mirror his own, which no one saved him from. I could even go so far as to say he was "saving" Will, who is set up to be so much like him, from a world of horrible people who (from Henry's viewpoint based on his lived experiences) would only serve to abuse and betray him.

This of course isn't to say any of it is right. None of it is right or good...but it makes sense. It follows a pattern. It coheres. The math...maths.

#Citations! #1: Henry often hides alone in the attic. #2: Victor's burning cradle vison (a child in need of help). The drawing of the Shadow Monster. Possibly Alice's nightmares. #2 (cont.): Can all be interpreted as calls for help. Children in distress act out and make disturbing art in hope of conveying that need. #3: Virginia may or may not have been trying to kill Henry but based on the Fleshflayer parallel re: sibling death...it's probable. #4: Henry himself describes that night as self defense/being forced to act. #5: Virginia likely had powers given that Henry has powers #6: Her powers are likely similar to Henry's and Henry has regenerative powers. There are also fishy scenes of her death which imply #6 (cont.): that she may have still been alive. These include: shots from her POV. The fact that her eyes are bloody-- #6 (cont.): but still intact in some shots. The unexplained POV from the top of the stairs. #7: Henry looks very nervous and fidgety at the door like he's antsy to leave with Alice and Victor #8: Again the unexplained POV on the stairs...stairs she earlier runs down after Henry gives her her mirror moment in the bathroom. #9: Henry was successful in disabling her initially which exposed her culpability. #10: Henry puts *so* much time into Victor in canon with basically no explanation why. #11: Alice seems to be a smart and upstanding girl. She might not be controllable re: Virginia being alive/the whole scheme with Brenner. #11 (cont.): The only way to eliminate that risk is to kill her...and we've already seen that Virginia is not good to at least one child. #12: If Virginia has powers like Henry's she likely has a sense of how long someone can be tranced before the trancer runs out of energy. #13: Who called Brenner to come get Henry during his coma? How did Henry end up in Brenner's hands specifically? #14: amerion-main's recent post re: Henry's position change in the foyer shots #End Citations! #This is all very much speculation when it comes to the actual path of events re: the Creel Massacre #but we can all agree that we don't have the full story about the Creels yet...so who knows. #henry/vecna/001 #henry creel analysis #henry creel #virginia creel #creel family #stranger things #stranger things analysis

new artwork i’m most proud of

sort of sequel to this painting from 2016

#my art #fantasy art #wolf #creature #artists on tumblr #clouds #lightning #digital art #elemental #i am legit. extremely proud of this. #no idea why it took like 6 months tho i started it in september #if id just sat down and worked on it it wouldve been done in like a week or two tops #but unfortunately i was working on it for like half an hour every week :/ #and the reason it took me like 7 years to make a sequel to that other painting is like #it's not like i havent been trying??? so many sketches and rough works that never got finished #also fun artist behind the scenes tip: the initial reason i put clouds in is because #i didnt know how to make the anatomy of the rest of the body look good #so now its all covered in clouds #oh yeah and this painting is transparent technically i just put a background bc it looked terrible on plain white

i did it. i’ve officially seen every movie in the saw franchise. what a ride, folks. these movies are bad even when they’re good and i love them dearly. watch saw because sometimes they are actually just good or so very close

#i’m goin post! #my favorites: 1 ; 2 ; 3 #i liked many parts of 5 but cannot stand hoffman #10 was great and we are so back. i’d out it in top 5 #7’s premise is so perfect and i wish it had been the 3rd movie instead of 3 because by 7 they lost the plot so bad #and it’s such a horrible mess of a movie and a saw movie that it makes me mad they bungled it so bad #um. 6 is fine. spiral and jigsaw were milquetoast and not doing anything interesting but they weren’t awful #i don’t even remember 4 but i think i really did not like it #that’s dannys saw report. thanks for playing and send me asks if you want more detailed sawpinions

Its kind of hard to see but on the inside of this watermelon there is a slightly lighter formation that sort of looks like a heart shape #4. special breakfast of scrambled eggs. soy sausages. and jarred artichoke heart. with some black coffee and whipped cream + a strawberry #5. ARBY.. fish ...traditional summer treat available only until like september maybe for like a month. but I love them because theyre cheap #lol.. the next closest/cheapest fried fish sort of option that is easily acessible to me is a more upscale fast food place where you can ge #three tiny little chunks of fish maybe the palm of your hand sized for about $17 lol... so 4 arby fried fish chunks for like $5 is good #6. & 7 - very cool sunset colored sort of pink/yellow/orange flower I found growing wild in someone's yard #8. got as a gift from someone who got it for christmas but didn't really want it and asked if I did since everyone knows Im like The Person #Who's Obsessed With Cats out of any group of people.. but I still havent done it lol.. it just sits there gathering dust until I have #the time on top of my 600 other projects.

i know i kinda have a reputation to uphold as an astarionposter but like. he's not even my fav character in bg3...

#my ranking of the companions would be: #1. shadowheart 2. jaheira 3. lae'zel 4. astarion 5. wyll 6. halsin 7. karlach 8. gale and then minsc/minthara bc i haven't recruited either #idk i just really love how jaheira was portrayed in bg3 and i feel like she doesn't get enough love #+ lae'zel's story arc may not be as compelling to me personally as astarion's but. gith lore is like my absolute fav thing and i love her s #and i've already talked loads about how shadowheart is my no. 1 #re: wyll i actually really like him and he would've been ranked higher if i hadn't played early access. i miss his more playful side tbh #halsin ranks higher than karlach or gale because of how much his being canon polyam means to me. also he's funny as hell #karlach and gale's stories just didn't resonate as hard with me ig?? i love them all they're just not my favs #there's literally no companion i actively dislike which is v strange bc in most games i usually HATE at least one. #in dao i HATED sten. in da2 it was seb. in dai it was cassandra. in poe2 it was pallegina. in nwn2 it was bishop. in wotr it was daeran #anyway i could go on and on about how larian made fundamentally flawed but still likable characters. i just love them sm. #edit: even though gameplay-wise wotr is one of my top games ever. i actively hated like half of the companions lmao #lmk if you want me to make a post about who i like and why in pfwotr bc i am Very Opinionated

i know i've bitched a lot today, but this stats class is also bad

#i have it twice a week #and thus far what is expected of you is that you watch ~ 6 hours worth of lectures /outside of class/ #and then she does a /different/ lecture in class #i've never had a class thats just nonstop info with literally no time to sit with any of it before #like how can I /learn/ this if i have to just move on to the next thing immediately because there is not enough time in the week otherwise #like arent most math classes like... learn the info -> apply the info in hw????? #this is just INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO #whats the homework?? GET MORE INFO THROWN AT YOU #oh you want to sit with something and learn how to do that thing?? fuck you you have 5 more hours of lectures #on top of other classes of course #anyways i literally just have to get through this semester and then the rest of my degree should be smooth sailing #like i wont even have a full class load for the next 2 semesters #i /just/ need to pass these classes #lea speaks #i am PRAYING that this isnt the setup for the whole semester and she's just front-loading this shit #also i feel it should be noted that its not 6 hours of lectures to do in 7 days #no sir it is 6 hours of lectures to do in 3 days
