Get Pumped!

This started as just a simple solution to allow my Sims to work out without a TV, radio or gym equipment present but I’m a fitness nut so I knew I couldn’t stop there. I love working out and am always trying out new workouts or gyms like people try out food or clothes. It’s one of my favorite hobbies IRL so I was happy to try and make more exercise/fitness things for my athletic Sims.

This is the Exercise Mat I previewed a few weeks (months?) ago and I added a few more features like the ability to teach classes and also free weights (dumbbells and kettlebell).

Credit/Thanks: @aroundthesims for the free weights and kettlebell which are hers. I only recategorized them to Sports/Hobbies. Mats and board are EA. Animations by me, Mixamo and EA!

All the info and download link are after the jump, read through it all before downloading!

Exercise Mat:

Sims can do different floor and body weight exercises on the mat, which are skill gated:

Sit ups, squats: Level 2

Push ups, single-leg squats, bicycle crunches: Level 3

Burpees: Level 4

Sims can also stretch which has benefits if you do it before and/or after exercising. 

Stretching before: the Feeling Limber moodlet will prevent your Sim from getting fatigued so long as it is active

Stretching after: the Feeling Limber moodlet will remove soreness if you have it

If there is an instructor mat on the lot, you can assign the mat to the instructor mat so Sims will use it for classes

Instructor Mat: This mat lets Sims who have Athletic skill 5 or higher teach exercise classes. 

Assign Instructor - sets who the instructor will be for the mat

Schedule Class - self-explanatory; select a time a date to host a class

Start Class - if you don’t want to wait, you can start a class now. Instructors will wait 20 sim minutes (tunable) before starting the class to allow interested Sims to join.

Toggle Stereo - requires IP to work, adds a stereo to the instructor mat so you can play music during class

Free Weights:

You can lift dumbbells or kettlebells. That's pretty much it. These guys look super happy about it.

You only need one dumbbell. The other one is a prop which will be created once your Sim starts lifting.

Gym Board:

Check Scheduled Classes

Sign Up for Class (Note: you can't sign up for classes that have no spots available but you can still show up and try to get a spot if there's a no show)

Cancel Sign Up

Cancel Class

Gym Classes:

Instructors can hold Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced gym classes, the difference in difficulty affects the fat/muscle delta, fatigue level and athletic skill gain. The ability to hold different class levels is skill gated at Levels 5, 6 and 7 respectively.

If you schedule a class, the instructor and any Sims that sign up for the class will be pushed to the lot an hour before the class starts. Sims cannot join a class after it starts but if they leave before the class ends, they still get charged.

The cost per person is based on the class level and the instructor’s athletic skill. If you have NRaas Career and the Instructor is in the Trainer skill-based career, they will also earn extra money and the funds will go towards their career advancement.

If there are no spots available, you can still check what time the class is and get information on the class if you want to show up and see if a spot opens up.

If classes are hosted on a non-park community lot, like a gym, 25% of the class fees will go to the venue (the venue owner will receive this if it’s owned).

You can check and sign up for scheduled classes on the gym board object. Instructors can also cancel classes there.

There are two "rewards" available: Top Trainer and Gym Rat. Top Trainers are Sims that have taught at least 20 classes. After achieving that, their classes are worth more and they also keep a larger percentage of the cost per student. Gym Rats are Sims that have taken at least 10 classes after which they get a discount on any other classes afterwards.

Notes: 

My suggestion is to organize the class room like how I have in my photos with the mats horizontal facing the instructor. I'd also space them out more than I did as some of the exercises involve a lot of jumping/moving around but I have small lots so I have to squeeze in as much as I can! With this plus Twin's spin class and yoga mods, I'm going to need a bigger gym!!

The instructor will face whichever mat is first in the list of assigned mats so I would suggest assigning the front center mat first.

You can have multiple instructors/instructor mats on the same lot but an instructor can only be assigned to one mat.

Sims cannot take a class if they don't have more than $400 in their family funds. You can change this if you like but I don't want my broke inactives spending money on gym classes (we have gym at home!)

If Sims are not autonomously joining classes or using the mat, it’s probably because you have too many advertising objects on your lot that are competing with it. You can up the advertising for the mat but it’s already quite high so you just have to figure out how to balance it. The Join Class interaction does advertise fun and social in addition to the standard Athletic Game Object advertising so I would suggest upping that in order to get more attention from Sims.

The animation of Sims picking up/dropping the free weight is kind of wonky. I may try to fix it later.

There’s a collection file for all the objects but you will find all of them under Entertainment/Sporting Goods. Nothing is more expensive than 150 simoleons.

This is set for YA+ because a) some of the animations will sink for teens and b) they are always trying to do their fucking homework around each other while I'm holding classes and it drove me crazy. You can change the ITUN if you want teens to use it but you've been warned.

Future updates: I'm already thinking about using a similar system to create dance classes. Making an active Dancer career is something I’ve wanted for a while and I have a Sim that would be perfect to test it.

As always, if you run into any issues, let me know!

I always love more variety in my game, and I love the conversion of The Sims careers to The Sims 2 by LientebollemeiS2I. I wanted to make them more integrated though, so with the permission of LientebollemeiS2I, here are my amendment's to these careers to include:

Chance cards (for every level)

Different career levels (since some of the levels match other careers)

Connection to University Majors

LifeTime wants! The only things they don't have are specific career rewards and Wants that will roll in the Wants and Fears panel.

Please see below for a list of the career levels (the first three levels are matched for Teen/Elder) and also links if you need information such as job descriptions, wages, work days and skill requirements:

There are four files per career (eg. AdultCareer_AnimalCare, AdultCareer_AnimalCare_Conditions, AdultCareer_AnimalCare_LTW and TeenElderCareer_AnimalCare).

All four files are required and can just be put straight into your downloads folder.

You will notice some of the above career levels do not match the original careers. Some of the levels are already represented in other careers in the game, so I decided to swap some around and include some new jobs.

These files have new GUID numbers, so they should not conflict with other downloads, even the original versions of these careers.

The Lifetime Wants are also compatible with @lamare-sims 50 New Lifetime Wants for Sims 2: https://modthesims.info/download.php?t=669675

I'd like to thank the following members of our community for their assistance in these updates:

@sims2idea-lientebollemeis2i for creating the converted careers to begin with and providing their permission to share my amendments. Their original careers can be found here: https://s2idownloads.blogspot.com/search/label/SFS%20-%201t2%20Maxis%27%20Careers

@lamare-sims for creating the 50 New Lifetime Wants for Sims 2 mod and providing me assistance in making the Lifetime Wants compatible with their mod.

@sharlasims for her assistance and support with creating the chance cards.

@teaaddictyt For her Photoshop skills and support with converting the career icons.

@episims for their assistance troubleshooting the career outfits.

@rio-sims & @palominocorn for creating a tutorial on how to create Lifetime Wants.

I hope you enjoy my version of these careers and please do not hesitate to contact me if you run into any trouble. 06/07/2023 - EDIT: Thank you to @lamare-sims who found some errors in the files. I have fixed the LTW and Conditions files to reflect some correct instance numbers and I have reuploaded the zip files to include up the amended files. Please replace these two files for each career if you have already downloaded it. 05/08/2023 - UPDATE: @bothersomecryptid has touched up the icons and been kind enough to share them! They made them with to work better with the Clean UI. You just need to replace the images in the career file through SimPE. You can download at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q5j3AniepLh_lE_kgWgOYOkZkq9EzHNJ/view 03/09/2023 - EDIT: Thank you to @equinoxts2 and @lamare-sims for their further edits to the conditions files. I have reuploaded all files as new links, so feel free to replace the ones in your game. Children should no longer roll LTW's and you shouldn't get any errors when choosing these LTW's. 06/09/2023 - @venomander has been kind enough to create alternative icons for the careers. You can download them at these links: MediaFile 1

𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄

pairing: 90s!liam gallagher x fem!tennis player!oc

summary: in which they probably shouldn't have ever been a thing, but liam and lottie don't really care that much

word count: 2.19k

warnings: swearing, allusions to sexual content, fade to black smut bc it makes me uncomfy sorryy ++ links to the 'fern and noel' saga

he didn't know how it ended up the way it did, but fuck was he happy about it.

when they were younger he would stand on the side of the court behind a net at the tennis centre twenty minutes away from burnage on the train for her county matches. now he sat in guest boxes and spent time not rehearsing and recording plane hopping from open to open, tournament to tournament watching the way her agile feet jumped along the clay staining the soles of her white tennis shoes red.

she acted in turn thought and for that liam was thankful. watching her launch the ball from serve to return over the net was exhausting, but he knew the training and flying to catch the occasional gig was worse and he didn't know how she did it: give a blinder of a performance at the wimbledon grand slam finals and then land in lisbon to see him perform after her hours of press campaigns.

in liam's eyes, lottie could do no wrong; she was perfect in every sense of the word back when they'd started dating in secondary school. she'd offered to help him to pass his ppe's at the pleasure of his mam, she didn't smoke or do drugs at house parties, wouldn't touch a drop of alcohol until she was of legal age and even still it was rare enough to see her do it.

training took up every week night as well as all day saturday, she worked at the bar at the boardwalk in the evening (ironically she was a dab hand at making a blinder of a cocktail) and dedicated sunday to her homework followed by perfecting her serve stance and follow through.

lottie had everything going for her, something that she made clear she wished he had too. many a time she'd be sat with liam late at night, after her shift at the boardwalk, in the middle of the grassy patch in the children's play ground. "someone'll notice you eventually, i know they will. everyone who's seen you loves you."

liam pulled a handful of grass up with his hands out of frustration, a half burnt out cigarette hung between his lips that she couldn't keep her eyes off. "dicks aren't writing about us, though. no-one south of hale or north of oldham knows who we are."

three weeks later, liam had interrupted her training session. he cut off her backhanded serve and pulled her shoulders to him to kiss her soundly as lottie's tennis instructor yelled at him to leave. liam pulled away, grinning brighter than she'd ever seen him, "we've got a record deal, lotts. creation want to work with us, they've signed us!"

a grin split her cheeks right in two. lottie flung her arms around his neck, stood right on the tips of her toes to keep a balance her instructor would have been proud of had he seen it out into action in another other given situation. he blew sharply on the brass whistle hanging on a loop around his neck, hands on his hips as he glared lottie down. she withdrew and whispered a select congratulations in his ear and pushed liam away towards the gate he'd bulldozed through, with a kiss to the pulse point on his neck

lottie was training for the french open when she was called over to the reception desk, hot and sweaty with her hair stuck to the back of her neck, to take a phone call. "hello?" she questioned down the line, rolling her ankles so she could jog back to the clay courts and hit the ground running. she nearly lost her grip on her racquet, slipping through her fingers to collide with her trainers, when liam laughed down the line. "hey lotts, you wouldn't mind paying out my bail would ya love?"

"i thought you were going to belgium," she managed to splutter out, "what did you do to get arrested on a ferry?"

"bit of a long story, babe, but can you pay it?"

she sighed and pinched her nose. "fine, yes. but seriously, liam, this is the last time i'm going to do it. if i find out this has anything to do with you snorting one before boarding you'll be out of my flat and onto your arse faster than you can blink."

on the other end of the line, standing against a pay-phone in a belgian police station, liam adjusted has stance against the pillar. he sat down on one of the wooden slated benches lining the concrete walls and tried to cover his crotch. he chewed his lip in thought, laughing fakely at something bonehead shouted, and his voice turned sombre. "it's not. promise. just had too much to drink an' all that, having a bit of fun before r'kid turns into commander and fuckin' chief."

he heard her heavy sigh and his heart sank. liam had no doubt in his mind that he would be out on the end of astrid's boot in a second if he didn't clean up his act. "i mean it, li. one whiff of cocaine being found in my house and the confederation won't let me compete. i'll phone alan and tell him i'm paying out your bail. you can call me when you get back." lottie hung up on him and handed the receiver back to honey, who was sat behind the desk and messing with the crucifix around her neck pretending like she hadn't overheard any of the conversation.

out on the courts and with little under two months until her first match of the french open, lottie bounced from service to base line, firing fuzzy balls back to over the net while the red clay stained the hem of her whites. she scratched her racquet more times than was necessary to lunge for the ball, while shooting up and zipping around the boxes as she worked harder against the machine.

sometimes during their rigorous training jamie, her coach of seven years, would start loud shouting conversations while lottie was working her arms and thighs. he argued it helped her maintain good breathing regulation and improved concentration, because viewers in the stands could be distracting at the best of times. "so what's new with the rock star, then?"

she grunted as she sent another ball flying over the net and into the wire fence surrounding the court, skidding on her toes in pursuit of the next only an arm's stretch away, "nothing. the twat's only gone and got himself arrested because he got pissed on an over night ferry. 'this is the last time, babe, i promise'", she mimicked in a high pitched voice, "like hell it is."

"ah." jamie ran a finger over the hair he was trying to grow out on top of his lip, "has the brother been in touch yet?" a cold wind shot through the air and he pulled up the zip of his tracksuit closer to his neck. lottie's back flared up in goosebumps but she kept moving, running around the court and rounding up the balls to pour them back into the funnel of the dispensing machine. "no, but i'm expecting a call soon. when one phones the other usually follows suit."

astrid pounded at the treadmill in the gym of her hotel in paris, five minutes away from the large clay court stadium she'd thrashed each of her opponents on. she'd played her way to the final three days and came away relatively unscathed, apart from a strain in her serving wrist that a quick round of physio patched back up. lindsay, an american who was in the running for the doubles championship, was using a bike next to her.

between the two of them they shared an earbud each, stemming from a cassette player settled on the window sill and balancing in the middle of their sponsored water bottles. all of a sudden liam's voice crackled through her ear, and lottie shook her head as she cranked up the incline under foot. lindsay looked at her out of the corner of her eye, cycling as if her life depended on it. "not a fan?" she inquired, bringing down the gears to loosen the tension burning in her calves.

"it's not that," she panted, pushing through the blister forming on her heel, "i just can't believe you are. they're bastards, all of them."

lindsay gradually brought her legs to a stop, taking a moment to bring down her breathing before swinging over the seat to stand up, "i thought you were going out with one of the brothers."

"oh, i am," the incline increased again, "but it doesn't mean i can't call them that." lottie brought the treadmill down until she was walking on a flat line, and took a large sip of water. she looked at her watch and checked the pedometer hooked over her shorts by her hip and started to gather her things. lindsay moved to grab a skipping rope and stretched out her arms behind her back.

"and speaking of whom, i'm off. they should be here by now, good luck for tomorrow if i don't see you."

"and you, lotts. i've heard martínez is training hard, she won't give you an easy run."

lottie zipped her fitted jacket halfway up and tucked her thumbs into the loops around her wrists. "i know. see you on the podium." she left the gym with the two plaits her hair had been tied in laying over her shoulders. in the lift, lottie brushed her eyebrows back into place and checked her watch again, sidestepping a confederation official on the way out into the lobby.

she rocked back and forth on her heels near enough away from the reception desk so as not to look like she was loitering, but close enough to be saved if there were any photographers crouched in a bush with a long-range lens.

as lottie was attempting to push back a cuticle on her nail, she heard liam first rather than seeing him. his loud voice disrupted the peace of the hotel, earning him a disapproving glance from the bellboys and an even dirtier look from noel who was sulking behind, face like thunder.

liam sauntered into the lobby with his sports bag slung lazily over his shoulder, and his eyes were drawn to the dip of lottie's tits first before her smile. she wrapped her arms around him and sighed heavily in content, taking his congratulations on her progress in the open to heart. then she drew away and went to hug noel, who visibly recoiled.

"what's up with you?"

"nowt." he grumbled, shuffling around with room keys.

liam scoffed. "like fuck it's nowt. you're just in a mard because fern broke up with ye'." noel looked like he was ready to hit his brother square on the nose, but was restraining greatly. lottie tried not to sound too sympathetic when she consoled him.

"look i don' want to fuckin' hear it from you either, lotts, no offence. now is there an offie 'round here, i'm dying for a cig and i haven't got nowt."

lottie furrowed her brow in thought and tried to ignore liam looking at her out of the corner of her eye as if he wanted to jump on her right there and then in the glossy lobby.

she crossed her arms under her chest to push up her tits more, just to wind him up. liam discreetly adjusted the way he was standing. "err, yeah. i think there's one just down the road."

"cheers."

noel had sped away before he could even ask someone to take his bag up to his room. liam grumbled out 'lazy cunt' as he made a show of hauling it over his other shoulder, herding lottie into the lift with a hand over her chest.

as soon as the mirrored doors slid shut and they felt movement, liam was attacking lottie with a kiss so searing she felt breathless within seconds.

"missed you so fuckin' much," he mumbled, moving to ravage her neck.

when the lift doors slid open again she dragged him back to her room with her hands on the back of his neck, pushing noel's bag off is shoulder and leaving it abandoned outside his room. liam's hands were roaming over her arse and he withdrew the room key from her back pocket, scanning it before shoving her inside.

"all that time away from you was fuckin' torture," he groaned as her nails dragged down his stomach and traced the low-hanging waistline of his jeans, "need you now, babe." he sighed against her chest as lottie slowly unbuckled his belt, his hand weakly climbing her torso to palm at her tits through her tight jacket.

lottie smirked, "if being this far away from me turns you into this much of a mess, liam," at this she walked him over to her bed to sink down between his legs, following the seam of his jeans up his thighs and to his exposed boxers, "i'm going to have to get competing more often."

Hi hi! Can I suggest 💕 with fordo17? :3c

💕 kissing somewhere other than lips

the teenage years tm (feat. jango)

---

“Dismissed.”

Fett’s voice booms within the wide room. Seventeen moves with his brothers, falling in line after Maze towards the exits. 

Seven-Seven is a few rows to his right: his group and Seventeen are on different schedules. They are going to the range, and Seventeen’s is going first to the showers and then to the flash learning pods. Seventeen wants to turn and follow him with his eyes, but he doesn’t—he clenches his jaw and when they pass by Fett—standing with his feet hip-apart, hands linked at his back, unarmoured and unarmed—he follows his brothers’ example and salutes him.

He keeps his head down the rest of the day: he showers and changes into clean fatigues, he sits in his pod finishes the assigned modules, and then follows the group to the mess. He keeps his head down and he does as he’s told and he tries his best to not to look too hard at the trainers, at Fett himself when he joins them at the range later that evening. He knows himself invisible, but a part of him can’t help but fear they’ll look at him and know. And Seventeen has not been able to find anything in the regs about hating your instructors, but he’s beginning to understand that that doesn’t matter.

Seven-Seven’s group is already in the bunkroom when Seventeen’s finishes for the day. Seven-Seven’s pod is closed, the lock engaged—Seventeen pauses in front of the sleek, curved exterior and chews the inside of his cheek. Meanwhile, his brothers talk and joke all around him, their voices familiar and comforting.

He clears his throat and knocks twice on the pod. 

“Hey,” he says. 

Nothing.

Seventeen scowls. “Hey,” he repeats, this time louder. He hits the pod with the fleshy part of his hand. “Hey.” 

Of course he’s sulking. Seventeen folds his arms: he knows Seven-Seven’s just waiting him out, and a part of Seventeen kind of wants to leave him to his tantrum, but that’d be losing, so. So.

So he waits. And then he waits some more. 

Finally, the pod unlocks. Seventeen exhales, annoyed, and pulls it open all the way. He toes off his boots and then crawls into it, fits himself to Seven-Seven’s back the best he can. They’re eight now, and that means that they are getting too big for this. 

Seven-Seven smells of cleanser and clean skin. Seventeen tucks his face against the back of his neck, throws an arm over his belly and his right leg over his hip, and lets Seven-Seven close and lock the pod again. 

For a while they just breathe in silence. Seventeen can still hear the voices of his brothers, but they’re muted, far away: this is the closest they’ll ever get to being alone, and it occurs to him that he’s fine with it. He rests his lips on Seven-Seven’s sweaty neck and focuses on his smell, on the beat of Seven-Seven’s heart under his palm.

“They’re not gonna decommission you just because it turns out your voice’s fucked,” Seventeen tells the dark. He feels the way Seven-Seven stiffens up in his arms, but he keeps talking. “Prime’s an asshole but he hates waste.”

He made Seven-Seven talk. He knew about the voice thing—he must have known, he always knows everything—and he still made him talk.

Seven-Seven sighs. He taps twice on the back of Seventeen’s hand, and then keeps his fingers there. 

They’re getting so good at dadita.

“What?”

Shut up.

Seventeen rolls his eyes, and does.

Eric Coulter – The Lesson

I’m writing a full length story that will be posted on Wattpad when further along that includes my own original character.

Izzy joined Dauntless with Four from Abnegation but knew Eric when they were children. In my AU she and Eric are from the fringe and were inserted into the city by the bureau, they are both divergent but like Four to a much lesser degree. The story serves as a prequel to the original Divergent films and then will pick back up towards the end of insurgent at which point it will diverge from the films story line, they’re a bit of a blend of the books and films but are closer linked to the films.

Each of these One shots/Imagines are either excepts from around the midway point of the story I’m working on, that I think stand up quite well by themselves, or are pieces I couldn’t fit into the overall narrative but liked too much to get rid of completely.

Description

Eric and Four overhear some of the initiates doubting Izzy’s skills in the ring, they suggest she gives them a personal demonstration

Warnings

Mild violence, briefest mention of NSFW Smut, Eric and Four almost getting along (So shocking I thought it needed a warning)

Word Count: 1903

The next two weeks went by in a blur for the trainers as well as the initiates, as predicted Eric lorded it over the initiates scaring many of them stupid within days. Izzy found it mostly vaguely amusing while Four disapproved for the most part, only holding his tongue for the sake of his friend.

However even Four approved of Eric’s response to the disrespectful attitude James displayed towards Izzy towards the end of the second week. In fact, Eric beat him to the punch by seconds leaving none of the initiates in any doubt that the male instructors were both fiercely protective of Izzy, not that they were under any illusion she required protection once she was finished.  

Four and Izzy had agreed in advance that Four should handle most of the hand to hand combat demonstrations, primarily because she was a far more instinctual fighter and much less controlled than Four. They didn’t feel hospitalising initiates in their first few weeks would reflect well on their skills at trainers.

It was because of this that none of the initiates had seen her fight yet, though it was very unfortunate for James that Eric had overheard the whispered conversation he was having with his friends.

“I bet I could take her” Henry, a transfer from Candor, muttered, eyeing Izzy who was patrolling the edge of the mat watching the fight between two transfers from Abnegation, calling out pointers here and there.

“Probably” Lucian responded considering her stature, having transferred from Amity he was struggling the most with the concept of violence. He didn’t seem a likely candidate to be friends with the arrogant Henry and James, but he was twice the size of them and very strong, they’d tactically allied themselves with him to keep on his good side, something he hadn’t realised yet.

“I know what I’d like to do with her, and it wouldn’t be fighting” James smirked raking his eyes up and down her body with a leer.

“They say she’s with Eric you know” Lucian responded somewhat shocked by James’ blatant staring at their instructor.

James shrugged “And?”

“Don’t do anything stupid James” Henry pointed out, amused by his friends attitude but slightly concerned he’d be biting off more than he can chew by upsetting Eric.

“What? I don’t care who she’s with, when I see something I want I take it, women like that” James responded cockily “I’d show her a real good time”

“I guarantee she’d eat you alive, in or out of the ring” Eric drawled from behind them, startling all three of them as they hadn’t heard him or Four approaching.

Both men wore matching expressions of disgust and rage, no one spoke about Izzy that way in front of either of them, Four was less disposed to reacting with physical violence as a general rule, but even he was struggling to kerb the urge to beat them to death.

“You should show more respect for your instructors” Four intoned coolly “Izzy is highly trained and would be able to deal with the three of you all at the same time while barely breaking a sweat. The only reason she has not participated in the demonstrations so far is that there was a concern she might hurt one of you”

Eric smirked “But if you wanna try your luck, I’m sure she’d be more than happy to put you in your place” Eric challenged James directly, leaving James in no doubt that he wasn’t just referring to fighting.

James flushed angrily in response disliking being mocked by Eric, but conscious of not wanting to piss the leader off too much.

“Do I want to know what’s going on over here?” Izzy had approached them after spotting both Four and Eric looking less than pleased. Sensing this could mean trouble she moved to intervene, disbanding the fight she had been overseeing and leaving the rest of the initiates to practise techniques between them.

Eric grinned at her “Excellent timing as ever Babe” Izzy raised an eyebrow at him he never called her that in public and more to the point Four hadn’t immediate shuddered at the use of the pet name,  there was obviously something going on she wasn’t aware of “These three were wanting a little fighting instruction from you personally”

Izzy nodded beginning to understand now what had been going on, she’d already overheard a few whispers from some of the male initiates who were wondering what qualified her to train them. She didn’t really blame them she was half the size of most of them and they’d never seen her fight, maybe now was the opportunity to put that right.

“Do we really think that’s wise” she drawled mimicking Eric’s detached voice in a way that had Lucian looking extremely concerned “You know how difficult it is to get blood out of the mats after all. Plus these three wouldn’t exactly present much of a challenge one on one” she finished eyeing them all up and down in turn with a bored expression on her face.

She was doing such a good job of mimicking Eric that Four was struggling to keep a straight face having to look away briefly.

James visibly bristled at the slight, he was a good fighter and picking it up quickly Izzy would concede but he was also excessive cocky and aggressive, which for an experienced fighter would provide more than enough opportunity to get the upper hand.

“We were thinking more like three on one” Four explained exchanging a wicked look with Eric, Izzy smiling slightly to see them getting along, it certainly made a change.

She shrugged in response “Ok seems fair, on the mat initiates”

They’d drawn the attention of the room now, the rest of the initiates gathering around the edge of the mat to watch Eric and Four making no attempt to shoo them away.

Removing her boots and jacket Izzy stepped onto the mat to a call of low wolf whistle from James.

Eric glowered at the back of his head, hands twitching as if he wanted to do nothing more than reach out and strangle him.

Izzy smirked crooking her finger and calling a grinning James over to her side “You’ve no idea what you’re getting yourself into little boy” she sneered, rearing back and punching him in the throat catching him unawares.

Dropping to his knees gasping for breath, Izzy towered over him calling out “Lesson one. Never underestimate your opponent” she motioned Henry and Lucian onto the mat both now looking decidedly unsure.

Eric folded his arms over his chest a wicked smile lingering over his face as he watched Izzy morph from the firm but fair instructor, into the vicious and lethal fighter he knew her to be. He knew from personal experience as he was the only one she trained with these days, he was generally the only one that could keep up with her and give as good as he got, especially after she’d taken the advanced combat classes after their initiation. It made for some interesting foreplay sometimes, there’d been several occasions late at night when they’d gone at it on the mats, so keyed up they’d been unable to wait until they reached their now shared apartment.

“Come on boys don’t be shy” Izzy called a predatory look twisting her features.

Lucian breathed deeply and launched himself at her closely followed by Henry, Izzy dodged Lucian’s attack easily, making him lumber off the mat behind her, spinning on the spot to floor henry with one well aimed kick to the face.

Lucian turned quicker than she’d expected sprinting back onto the mat and grabbing her from behind, his arms wrapped around her body as he attempted to wrestle her to the ground.

Izzy stomped on his foot, followed up with an elbow to the side of his stomach that made him exhale sharply, his grip loosening enough to allow her to spin and cold cock him with a strong punch to the face. Lucian’s eyes rolled back into his head as he fell onto the mat with a loud smack out cold.

By now Henry had clambered to his feet squaring up to Izzy and throwing a series of well-aimed punches, one of which hit her stomach, Izzy groaned slightly leaning forward. But Henry didn’t capitalise on his advantage backing off with a smug smile on his face which allowed Izzy to recover, lunging at him and wrapping an arm around his neck, bringing him down to the mat hard.

“Lesson two” she called out smugly as she got to her feet “Don’t hesitate”

The initiates around the edge of the mat were now alternating between impressed looks, cheers and screams as they egged them on or watching from between their fingers horrified expression’s on their faces.

Eric and Four grinned at each other, Izzy was performing just as expected, a rare moment of comradery passed between the two with Eric extending his fist to the side, Four bumping his own against it without looking, eyes still trained on Izzy.

They both winced as James ploughed into the side of her, taking her down to the mat and pining her down with a furious expression on his face, still breathing heavily from her earlier punch. Getting to his knees he straddled her waist and dropped his hands to her throat.

Four glanced sideways at Eric slightly concerned but he simply shook his head still grinning, Izzy had a unique way of getting out of that hold and it wasn’t going to be pretty for James. Looking back to the mat Four watched Izzy grab hold of James thighs yanking herself further down between his legs the memory of her performing this move on Eric a year ago finally resurfacing.

James flipped backwards onto the mat with a crunch that made several nearby initiates skitter backwards in shock, eyeing his crumpled form with expressions that ranged from awe, disgust and terror.

Rolling over he retched clutching at his throat, Izzy moved to tower over him once more her breathing heavily and her neck red where he’d squeezed her throat but otherwise completely composed “Lesson 3. Never take emotion into a fight”

Eric grabbed a towel and flung it to her, she caught it easily, wiping off her over heated face she nodded to Four who returned the gesture before turning to the initiates “Ok that’s enough for today. I need a few volunteers to help me get this lot to the infirmary” he motioned to the groaning forms of Henry and James and the as yet still unconscious Lucian.

Izzy padded off the mat towards Eric who looked simply ecstatic as he beamed at her, a rare and genuine smile crossing his face, something the initiates weren’t used to seeing as they edged away from him looking slightly unnerved.

“I don’t know what all that was about but…” She started only to be cut off by Eric’s lips on hers, he wrapped his arms around her crushing her to him and kissed her with far more enthusiasm than was appropriate given their public setting.

Breaking apart he smirked down at her breathless face “Making a point, are we?” she enquired with a raised eyebrow.

“Oh sweetheart it’s already been made” he chuckled watching James glaring at them mutinously from the corner of his eye.

A while ago you posted ideas you had for OCs for MOTA - what happens if we write similar OCs by accident like I had some same ideas before you posted and now it looks like I'm just copying and I'm basically thinking we are all gonna be having this problem here on out with OCs sounding very similar

Kind Anonymous Friend, this is a great question.

This is one of many reasons I don't usually talk about my characters before they're people. But I'm fairly confident that the list of ideas I shared is really pretty low level and won't lead to copying.

Sure, I could get sore if someone else writes an ATA pilot, but I don't own the whole idea of that job, and I know there are going to be some OCs with the same jobs. This is a pattern that already exists in the Band of Brothers fandom, where nearly every single OFC is a female paratrooper or a nurse. And that's okay! Those are jobs that make sense for the context they exist in. I investigated this more in 2020 and you can see my results here.

We know that there are going to be a lot of OCs with particular jobs because we've already seen those roles in the show - there are women waiting at home, women in the Land Army, the Clubmobile Service, the WACs. We also know that there are adjacent services we could handwave about if we wanted to - the Medical Air Evac nurses, Women's Air Service Pilots, Air Transport Auxiliary pilots, Women's Auxiliary Air Force officers. The Army Air Force received 40% of of the women who enlisted in the WAC, and they did pretty much every ground crew job imaginable: "weather observers and forecasters, cryptographers, radio operators and repairmen, sheet metal workers, parachute riggers, link trainer instructors, bombsight maintenance specialists, aerial photograph analysts, and control tower operators." (There's a prompt list if I ever saw one.)

At a certain point, we also know that we're going to start seeing the same names, because the most common women's names for 1920 don't change. Both @shoshiwrites and I both happen to be writing women named Frankie, for example, but they're wildly different people. (The fact that Buck Cleven keeps referring to Marge is making my head spin - but Marge Cleven is not Marj Gordon.)

And that's the thing I want everyone to take away here - it only starts to look like copying if the entire concept and backstory and character quirks are the same. When two of us both start writing devil-may-care British blonds with a penchant for John Egan, then we'll have a problem. Or maybe we won't! Ultimately, it is the quality of your writing and your character development that will make what you do stand out.

All the same, it is a good idea to make friends with your fandom neighbors. Being aware of what other people are working on - and reaching out to assure them you're not copying - can go a long way.

You know, I think I’ve pinned down one of the things that bothers me the most about basically everything in Imperial Commando, but especially Kal (and to a lesser extent Rav, Vau, and Mij):

I’m in a weird mood tonight so don’t click under the link if you aren’t prepared for Some Shit I Guess.

Kal wants to set up a sort of halfway house for the clones, a safe space for them on their way to freedom, or a permanent home, or whatever. The place is, in his own words, “for clones”. Very much as a means of “redeeming” the whole fucked up system on Kamino he participated in. Which, fair enough.

And then he populates it and places it under the leadership of...Kamino instructors?

?????

Like, really. He’s the final voice on everything there. He’s in charge. He’s gracious enough to listen to his “boys” (also the ones most emphatically loyal to him) in council, but Vau and Mij are primary advisors as well, along with ex-Jedi Bardan, and that’s an uncomfortably large number of non-clone voices about steps to take for the development, future, and amount of risk acceptable for a clone safehouse, in my opinion.

And it’s just like...he somehow is incapable of conceptualizing that he himself might be a trigger or a perceived threat to the same people he ostensibly set this place up for? A face of their enslavement? Of the establishment that made them the way they are? Because Kal did that. He killed a kid under his care and screamed abuse at toddlers so much Niner remembers it strongly and first as late as Hard Contact and ran children through traumatizing, dangerous, literally life-threatening ordeals they had No. Choice. but to endure. And it absolutely killed some of them, some of them brutally, and left survivors that would have to remember that forever. They weren’t volunteer soldiers. They weren’t mercenaries. They were enslaved, indoctrinated, dehumanized children and he did that. At least part of it, which is more than enough. Who cares if he hated every second of it? Who cares if he had to drink himself into a stupor every night to cope? Who cares? He still did that. His face is the face some traumatized young man sees when he has nightmares about Kamino. His armor, his helmet, his walk, the sound of his voice. He is Kamino. Yeah, and you can argue until you’re blue in the face the complex moral situation Kal found himself in, sure. There wasn’t really a right answer, sure.

But the fact he hated his job doesn’t excuse him doing the job, you know?

And I’d hope someone as genuinely horrified by what they were made to do as Kal supposedly is would also be able to acknowledge that...hey, you know what? Maybe these men don’t ever want to see my face again. Maybe the best thing he can do for them is stay away. Kal could have set up Kyrimorut and gone and homesteaded somewhere else with the kids he trained who still managed to love him, taken his family and clan and left the safe house under the care of any one of the highly competent men who are also clones and know what their people need. (*Gasp*). Funded it from afar. He could have done that. Easily. So easily. But he...what?

Needs his face to be etched firmly in the minds of everyone he “saves”?

Can’t even fathom that his actions on Kamino might have been so traumatizing for people not himself? 

That maybe his - and Vau and Mij and Rav’s, people he so readily invites in - presence in the safe house might actually be preventing these people he so badly wants to help from coming because the Cuy’val Dar are the nightmare they’re trying to get away from?

Is a total control freak who cares more about his redemption arc than actually doing the right thing by the people on whose behalf he keeps shouting at everyone else for taking advantage and not caring enough about?

Is a total fucking hypocrite when he yells at Zey for Maze’s decision to bring Zey in, even though there are four Kamino trainers already in residence? Like, you can’t say one symbol of oppression is better than another Kal. You especially can’t say that. (No, I will not ever be over that.)

Anyway. It just drives me up a wall.

This has been weird idle thoughts after some totally unrelated conversation.

Also: Niner for the hypothetical actual clone halfway house (we can dream) dorm parent. He and Jaing can argue about it.

[iampikachuhearmeroar]

I had this article from upworthy (a clickbaity fb page tbh) on my fb newsfeed the other day. some of the comments on it were the typical "bc they're so lazy and want mummy and daddy to drive them everywhere till the end of time!!!! they never want to grow up!!!!! the true meaning of a spoilt generation who'll always want to mooch off of everyone else!!!!" and the like. others were kinder, luckily, citing the ever climbing petrol (gas) prices in the US/worldwide, the skyrocketing prices of cars in the last couple years due to the pandemic, and the cost of driving lessons or car insurance etc etc. as valid reasons for young people to be dissuaded from driving in general, and also from getting their license.

for me, as a younger millennial/elder gen z/whatever the fuck a 1995 baby is, me not getting my Ls licence at 16 here in australia in 2011 and my Ps directly a year later at 17 in 2012 was inextricably linked to my mental health.

I've talked on many, many, many posts over my years on here about my struggles with getting my license. I couldn't go at 16, because I was ~vaguely suicidal~ and rather depressed/anxious; and most worryingly very attached to the emo kid thing of "crash my car just to feel again". I was filled with so much self loathing at the fact that I NEVER got to be 😎👹🤟 R E C K L E S S 😎👹🤟; that my first thought about learning to drive/having my Ps was to immediately crash a car into a tree or something else, just so people would believe that i was reckless and edgy and whatever the fuck other bs. and also maybe crashing a car would make people care about me more??? idek. i was really mentally unwell. period.

on the mildly safer flip side, this was very much linked to the annoying pop-punk theme of hating and escaping your hometown- which was a little more bearable and understandable. wrapped up in this was my belief that "escaping" to a uni 8 hours north of me would suddenly make me rich and famous (lmao fuck x10), so much so that i would come back to my shitty hometown and rub it in everyone who thought i was useless and embarrassing and whatever else, faces. which still isn't the best reason for learning to drive, either, let's be real here lmao. all in all, 16 year old me's mental health was a fucking trash fire: so why on fucking earth would you put her behind the wheel of a goddamned rolling death trap???

the last part of what stopped me learning to drive in high school was my marks at the end of it in 2013. when i got my ATAR (the uni entrance mark in new south wales) I got 38.25. for some bizarre reason I thought getting that mark made me "too stupid to learn how to drive"- quite literally. so I didn't even bother to pursue learning to drive till about early march (maybe) 2014.

when i finally went to my first driving lesson in 2014, i mistakenly unloaded some of the above info onto the instructor. by the end of my first lesson, she told me "your driving is so awful that no one in the Illawarra (our local area) will EVER BOTHER to teach you. stick with me, and you'll learn." so what did i do? i ditched that woman and didn't drive for another year.

when i got back to driving lessons in 2015, i think, at some point, my trainer with another driving school was great. i still wasn't getting consistent driving at home with my parent, bc he was also teaching my sibling. he also found me too stressful to teach, bc i was SO anxious that he just pushed it completely off on to the driving school instead. my lessons with this instructor were great (except for him always playing the radio during the lessons and that really distracted me). until my parent was like "uni is far more important than learning to drive. so focus on uni instead". so i dropped driving for another 6 months, by which time I was okayish at driving- but still hella anxious around trucks and during heavy traffic and doing reversing (which I still fucking hate and still gives me anxiety to this very day along with parking).

then I went back to it in 2016 or maybe 2017 again. in my first lesson with my 3rd instructor with the same driving school as the guy above (he'd left by the time I got back to it), we gelled. I finally got my licence in 2019 after two or three years of lessons and MANY failed tests (about 6 or 7 I can't remember now tbh). we stuck with me till the end. she eventually told me that she used me as a success story for anxiety as well, to all the kids who were incredibly anxious with driving.

my main reason for telling this story is because I imagine that I think many gen zer's would be the same. driving is incredibly anxiety inducing for many people, especially while they're learning. for example, when I began learning to drive my speed limit on my Ls was literally 70km/hr. which meant I was anywhere between 10 to 40 km/hr slower than everyone on highways- where the speed limit can be anywhere between 80 to 110 (for example the speed limit going to Sydney is 110km/hr- whereas the local highway I drive to work every day is 80km/hr and other parts of the highway are 90kms an hour). now the speed limit on Ls and your red Ps is 90.

but being on your Ls means that a vast majority of drivers will either aggressively overtake you, assert their road rage (usually assholes in jeeps and utes tbh), honk at you bc you're too slow (like sorry i can't go any faster on my Ls than 70 bro back in 2014, go fuck yourself). like i fucking hate driving so much, that i don't know why i even bothered buying my car tbh lmao.

just yeah. there's a myriad of reasons people don't want to or maybe even can't learn to drive; and for me it was mental health related and the fact I had to mature out of my angsty pop-punk and emo phase first as well. i shouldn't've had to meet the "standard" of getting my licence during high school when i very obvs wasn't ready or even mentally healthy for it at the time.

like. don't get me wrong, my mental health was still not the best when i was trying to get my licence in my early 20s.... considering i was hating very heavily on myself for not getting my licence at the right time like all my acquaintances from catholic school (*cue rich boy at tafe asking me in 2013 why I didn't have my licence yet*). but yeah. for many people, the whole getting your licence in high school thing just isn't possible, or let alone a good idea.

♡ ┋ hirai momo. cis woman. she/her. lesbian. ⇝ hey, isn’t that akimoto mio? i think that the 27 year old from tokyo, japan works as dance instructor at alister's dance hall & studio and daycare worker at moon & sun daycare, but outside of that people describe them as pink and pink and even more pink; glittering hearts and all things lovecore; the scuffing of high-top trainers against the varnished floors of a dance studio; bodies moving, illuminated by the flickering city lights; dripping strawberry ice cream and shimmering pink lip gloss. i hear they are overemotional & easily distracted, but they are also known to be friendly & passionate. consider giving them a visit at their home in delilah's den gated community and get to know why they’re called the daydreamer.

the names above are written according to their native japanese format (surname, first name). to clarify, this character's given name is mio!

IMPORTANT LINKS: will be added when they're ready!

TW: suggestions of possible suicide

BASICS

Mio LOVES the colour pink! Maybe an unhealthy amount. She strongly believes that everything is better off being pink. It's her favourite colour.

However, she actually tends to dress mostly in blacks and whites but she'll definitely make room for coloured (usually pink) statements and accent pieces like her jackets, certain accessories and maybe even her shoes. She tends to go for a sort of athletic street fashion look. Pink, shimmery eyeshadow and lips are a Mio staple.

She has a pet cat, a cream and white tabby named Cream.

Mio has never been in a proper, long-lasting relationship and has mostly had a few short-lived flings. She doesn't sleep around (not that it would matter if she did) but it's just never turned out that way. However, she's a hopeless romantic at heart. Her ideal type is someone cool who might make her swoon a little. Also, as stated above, she's a lesbian. It's not something she has always been super open about but she's using her move to a new place to be as open about herself as possible.

Mio's a very energetic person who loves to help people but this means she's also very adept at getting in the way.

She loves doing cute nail art! She doesn't personally wear fake nails for practicality reasons but she likes painting her nails. She's entirely self-taught and pretty good at it!

Honestly, Mio is a muse I've been writing since 2016 -- seven years this February -- so I have a lot of thoughts about swimming around in my head but, for some reason, they're not coming to mind right now soooo hopefully you'll learn more about her through interactions! <3 I've updated her with an Anchorage-specific backstory though!

BACKSTORY

Mio was born in Tokyo, Japan as the second of two daughters. Her parents were an ordinary couple, still married to this day. Her sister, Rei, was born two years before Mio and was the subject of Mio's admiration for many years. Though very different in many ways, the sisters had always been close. In terms of money, her family were comfortable. Not wealthy but they weren't struggling either.

From a young age, Rei was trained in ballet and it was obvious she had a bright future ahead of her. She was the apple of her mother's eye and was very much pushed to pursue ballet as seriously as possible. Mio, on the other hand, was given a little more freedom. She shared her sister's passion for dance but was much more interested in styles like street and hip-hop. Her parents allowed her to pursue these passions but the price of her freedom was that they weren't anywhere near as invested in her efforts. Mio didn't mind too much, she loved her family.

As the years went on, the pressure got to Rei. It got to be too much and it broke her and she ran away from home. Mio was fifteen years old at the time and it threw her whole world into question. Her beloved sister was gone. But Mio was nothing if not compassionate and understanding. She never blamed Rei for leaving. Their parents’ expectations quickly shifted onto Mio and so she became a sort of stand-in for Rei, fulfilling their dreams of having a daughter who might find success as a dancer. It was evident that the suddenness of it all had been too much and they were far from ready to let go of this superficial goal. It didn't bother Mio at first and she even liked the extra attention but, before long, it became impossible to ignore the feeling of being a replacement. They hadn't wanted a dancer, they'd wanted a ballerina.

Once she graduated from high school, her parents used the money they'd set aside for Rei to send Mio to a dance university in Tokyo. It was around this time that Rei returned, looking like she'd been through Hell. Mio never found out everything that happened to her sister but she did accept her with open arms. But Rei never stayed long. For two years, she came and went, slipping through the cracks like a shadow. Eventually, she stopped showing up at all and Mio was back where she'd started. Mio's studies brought her to the States. She spent a few years in Los Angeles, finishing off her dance training and learning English before returning home to Tokyo again.

She would spend another few years in Japan, joining a dance crew and working actively as a dancer. She'd earned herself some attention for uploading dance covers online too. Everything was going well for Mio. She had a decent apartment in the city, she had her dream job, she had a cat that she loved. She was happy. But, one day, a letter came for her in the post. A letter from her sister. The letter itself was simple enough. A generic note to let Mio she was still around and to ask how things were going. But there was a note at the end, one that Mio couldn't ignore. 'Have you heard about Anchorage in Alaska?' she'd asked, 'People go missing there all the time. You could go there to vanish and nobody would even question it.'

Mio took this as a sign that she needed to move back to the States and find her way to Anchorage. She moved there with her little cat in tow, taking up residence in a hotel for a couple of weeks. There was no sign of Rei but Mio had already resolved to stay, now moving to a little cottage that her cat would likely prefer. At first, she told herself she was staying for Rei. If Mio had shown up too early, Rei might still come and if Mio had shown up too late, she wanted to stay as close to her sister's possible resting place as possible. However, there was something else keeping Mio there.

All her life, Mio has wanted to help people. She was always preoccupied with checking up on people, occasionally to the point of being a little annoying. Given what sort of place Anchorage was, she felt guilty about the idea of leaving. It seemed selfish to run off just because it was a little scary. Besides, she'd grown to like the people here. If nothing else, Anchorage was a fascinating place.

Mio has been in Anchorage for about a year now. She's still active as a dancer, practicing whenever she gets the chance and uploading her choreographies online for people to see, but she's since taken up a second job as a daycare assistant. She knows she can't really do much to help the people of Anchorage but perhaps providing the children born into this strange environment with a sense of calm and safety was a good place to start.

Age Gaps And Lifestyle Relationships

At times it can feel that the older you are, the harder it becomes to find a partner, especially in D/S. A case in point was a recent post from a submissive who has leveled up in life a few times and is seeking a daddy dominant. In their writing, they expressed disappointment because they felt that those who identify as daddy dominants want younger partners thus leaving them out in the cold.

The struggles with lifestyle dating plus the D/S Dear Abbey’s who preach against age differences bring about the need for a frank discussion of age gaps in lifestyle partnerships.

One thing to consider is that a daddy d-type does not mean an age gap in the relationship. This style of dominance is about the methods and manners the d-type employees and embraces. There is a common misconception that someone who identifies as a DD wants or needs a partner that is younger, often significantly younger as a submissive. The same is true about age regression play, an s-type who is a little, being a mandatory component of a lifestyle relationship with a daddy dominant. While many who seek a daddy dom, do enjoy age play, there are many submissives as well as DDs who find age regression play to not be their jam but simply enjoy the style of leadership that daddies are known for. Additionally, while there are individuals who seek a younger partner, it does not link to a specific role or gender. As an example, we all need to clear our throats so we can “rawr!” because many cougar submissives are prowling about in our kinky forests.

Some assume the role of daddy dominant because they are an ODB,  old dirty bastard, that uses the title of “daddy” to target young, naive, and/or vulnerable submissives thus allowing ODB to get thrills. This is the reason the majority of those who take titles online such as lifestyle trainer, teacher, instructor, and professor are ODBs and the use of the before-mentioned monikers must be seen as a red flag. These sleazy schoolmasters often claim they just want to teach the lifestyle which translates into getting their grubby little paws on fresh lifestyle meat. A quick note of clarification, not all who are kinky Professor Proton types are ODBs, some do just teach and share their experiences. These good apples are just like amazing educators in the vanilla world, they want to empower others, but the lessons shared are never done by engaging in hands-on learning. Also, just like in the real world, make sure those who teach their theories, walk a walk in life that reflects their teaching, for example, they do not preach trust as well as honesty while having a wife at home that they cheat on with their students.

On the flip side of that, this is a good flip slide, because the lifestyle brings people together with open minds some connections happen between people who do have a gap in their ages. Open minds make themselves available to being loved and loving someone that perhaps Dr. Phil and vanilla society might disagree with. Speaking of the vanilla world, is it not a craptastic double standard that men are often lauded for having a much younger partner but women are not? Manthers are acceptable but cougars are not, facepalming. So with the lifestyle being a place where open minds gather, you do encounter more partnerships that occur between people of all ages, and the majority of these come from the heart. Additionally, it is not just dominants with younger submissives in the lifestyle but it is just as likely to see a submissive older, perhaps significantly older, than their d-type.

When it comes to age differences in relationships, more people have contrasts in their “levels” in the lifestyle versus the vanilla bean world but that is not because it is an expectation in D/S nor is it something that daddy dominants want/need but it is due to the prevalence of open minds and hearts that are found here in the lifestyle. While some bad actors try to take advantage of this openness, most people involved in age-gap lifestyle relationships do so from places of goodness rather than from selfishness. With open minds come open hearts and in a lifestyle of very open minds, like D/S, relationships blossom and grow between consenting adults of all ages, even those with gaps between them.

How do you feel about age-gap relationships and why?

You know, I’m all for Pokémon gym leaders and elite four members matching their theme and personality with the pokemon type that they specialize in, but I’d be totally down for a gym leader that is the complete OPPOSITE of their specialty, theme and personality wise.

Fuck the water-type gym leader who’s a swimming instructor, give me the water-type gym leader who can’t swim, or the ice-type leader who fucking HATES the cold.

Give me the bright ray of sunshine who specializes in dark-types. Give me a ghost-type trainer who doesn’t even fucking believe in ghosts.

This shit would instantly make the main series games so much funnier, and there’s so much potential with this idea. You could even make it link up with major story beats if needed, but I need to see this at some point.
