important to me that you know squabble rocket jumps
she is always doing stupid stunts that involve excessive amounts of explosives. luckily she's basically incapable of getting hurt worse than a skinned knee or bruise here and there cause she defies the laws of physics. it's a very good thing this is the case otherwise carrion would find ways to murder the inanimate objects she gets hurt on
carrion waits on squabbles every whim gladly and will not make any attempt to stop squabble from doing the dangerous things she wants to, but as long as he’s in the vicinity everything will work out conspicuously perfect
jerryjack thinks squabble is incredibly entertaining and would absolutely never remind her of basic safety precautions. they up the stakes constantly
rig is wholly unaware what's normal for a 12 year old to do so instead of interfering she just offers practical advice like ‘that amount of c4 is unnecessary for what you're trying to blow up. using less will make a better explosion’. despite that, she’s super anal about gun safety (though she does not see any issues with giving squabble a gun in the first place)

I don’t know if anyone here plays it and/or cares, but I have been very slowly building Castle Rysen in the Sims 4 and I think I finally have enough of it done to share a bit (apologies for poor picture quality I was using my phone to take them because I’m too tired to deal with screenshots)
It has towers too I just forgot to get a picture of them xD I made it on a hill because on the map it appears to be near the mountains.
Basement with kitchen, this is where the servants quarters will be (and also eventually the unlit side on the left will lead to the holoel chamber)
Ballroom/dining hall with little study-esque places. Hopefully I’ll figure out how to fill this out more eventually xD
Next floor has Nia and Esben’s room
Artham and Arundelle’s room
and all these empty rooms I haven’t done anything with yet xD
And now the piece de resistance:
THE LIBRARY
Everything in this room I’ve done since yesterday when the new library kit came out I went absolutely insane with it xD
lil study nook/more of my walls of books
kid’s area :)
aesthetic fireplace bookreading spots
I headcanon that Castle Rysen has hidden passageways all over it so here’s one in the library that leads to the floor below.
outside we have a path that leads down to this little wooded area
and this nice little garden.
That’s all I have so far. If anyone shows any interest I may continue posting pictures. If no one shows any interest I’ll probably delete this so it’s not clogging up the page.

Speaking of Arkhamverse im gonna yap on abt how bruce is so paranoid/afraid/ about someone he loves getting hurt because of him/being helpless to stop it he pushes them all away but that doesnt do anything but get them hurt anyway
And them getting hurt just feeds into the that fear and he blames himself -> pushes them away -> they still get hurt -> helpless to do anything the cycle goes on n on n on till it blows up (literally)
Kinda like you think the inevitable is all your relationships are taken from you out of ur control so you take control back by ending them all urself
Even more yapping in the tags that i should have just written here but its to late

listened to the new audio again and im just 😭😭😭 asher and darlin getting into fights as teens, darlin, even tho they weren’t super close with ash at that point, standing up for him as pack beta, ash wanting to know why darlin stayed cause in his mind it would make so much more sense for them to go back to washington given their relationship with the rest of the pack. DARLIN STAYING BECAUSE DAHLIA IS HOME AND THE PACK IS HOME AND ASHER UNDERSTANDING COMPLETELY
