SUCCESSION POLL

<gen commentary> Ever since I started watching this dumb ol' with my mother in '18, I have developed a brain rot like no other; the original push for us to watch it was purely because we thought it looked stupid from the trailer previews, like "How is a show about business supposed to be good? It just looks like The Office or Arrested Dev., but less funny." Boy howdy, after the first episode premiere we were hooked. <gen commentary end>

Okay, so — as we (freaks) know — all of Succession's season finale episodes have been titled after lines in John Berryman's poem: "Dream Song 29." Even being a little behind, I have potential predictions. I'm making a poll, but here is a reminder of the past horrors' titles:

S1 finale: "Nobody Is Ever Missing"

S2 finale: "This Is Not for Tears"

S3 finale: "All the Bells Say"

S4 finale: ...who fucking knows, it's Jesse Armstrong

Title: Sweet Success.

In this digital painting, a man stands tall, holding a luscious nectarine in one hand while flashing a confident thumbs-up gesture with the other. His expression is one of sheer satisfaction, his eyes sparkling with delight as he showcases the fruit of his choice.

Dressed in a classic combination of a crisp white shirt and sleek black pants, the man exudes a timeless elegance that is complemented by a touch of eccentricity—a vibrant red fez adorning his head, adding a splash of color and personality to his ensemble.

The nectarine he holds is a vibrant blend of orange and red hues, its smooth skin glistening under the soft, diffused light. His fingers wrap around the fruit with a gentle yet firm grip, conveying his appreciation for its ripe juiciness and delectable flavor.

With his free hand, he extends a thumbs-up gesture, his thumb raised high in the air as a sign of approval and satisfaction. His grin is wide and infectious, reflecting his enthusiasm and confidence in his choice of fruit.

The background, rendered in a muted, out-of-focus brown tone, serves to highlight the man and the nectarine as the focal points of the painting. Its softness adds a sense of depth and dimension to the composition, creating a subtle contrast that enhances the overall aesthetic.

Overall, this digital painting captures a moment of triumph and pleasure, as the man revels in the sweet success of finding the perfect nectarine. It's a celebration of indulgence and satisfaction, a reminder to savor life's simple pleasures and embrace moments of joy.

Are they related? Food vs Food

How often do you look at foods in the grocery store, back and forth between two items thinking 'This looks exactly the same. Are they exactly the same? How are they not the same?" and no, I'm not talking about the processed repackaged foods and you're looking at 40 different kinds of tomato sauce. I'm talking about the produce lane.

Sure in some cases it's obvious they're not EXACTLY the same. But they must be related. Right? Well, sometimes they are, some times they're not, and some of these may surprise you. I know they surprised me!

Cucumber Vs Zucchini

I think anyone looking at these two would assume they're related. They're both long with dark green skin and light green flesh. When eaten raw and unseasoned, they also have a similar taste. However, these are two completely different foods.

The zucchini is a type of gourd, being more closely related to a Pumpkin. The cucumber is a Melon and is more closely related to the Watermelon. ....alright fine, technically gourds are a type of melon, still making them related; but my point remains! Try eating a cucumber with some sweetener like sugar or honey and it'll taste like watermelon. Won't work with zucchini.

Both cucumbers and zucchini are related to Fidelity, Chastity and general sex and Lust magic. But cucumbers are also associated with youth, beauty, glamor, stress relief, and rejuvenation. There was an old superstition that cucumbers had to be planted by young men in order for the crop to be successful.

Parsley Vs Cilantro

At a glance, these two herbs can easily be mistaken for the same thing. But once eaten, the difference is very clear. Cilantro (Also called Coriander) has a strong, lemon pepper taste; while Parsley is mainly an aromatic with a Lighter earthy taste.

People who love Cilantro might be perplexed by the hate it gets. Sure it's a strong taste but it's not overpowering. Well it turns out Cilantro is related to Fennel. Which is also related to licorice. It turns out, if your DNA is set up one way, these foods taste great. But if your DNA is set up another way, these foods taste TERRIBLE. My partner describes Cilantro as tasting like soap. So we stick with Parsley.

Superstitious farmers used to refuse growing parsley. See, parsley only grows back every other year. So, because of how long it takes to grow, it was believed parsley had to travel to hell and back 7 to 9 times. This was to try and convince the devil to give it permission to grow. And if the devil did not give the parsley permission to grow, the people who planted it would die. Was dubbed The Devil's Oatmeal.

Cilantro is a great protection herb. Protect the home, protect the garden, protect your health, protect your secrets. Parsley is also good for protection, but also has more general uses. Cleansing, Attract love and prosperity, Wisdom, commune with spirits; parsley has a long history in Rome of using to honor the dead and wear to enhance thinking power.

Ginger Vs Turmeric

Both roots, often eaten together as a seasoning. They look very similar; they must be related. Well, you'd be right! They are both part of the Zingiberaceae family. Both have strong anti inflammatory properties and have been used in natural remedies.

They still have very different tastes, however. Ginger will have a fresh, somewhat spicy taste. Turmeric is a bit heavier and earthier. Turmeric is also recognizable for it's bright yellow orange pigment. It's known to stain and dye.

Because they are roots, both Ginger and Turmeric have good Grounding properties. They are also both good for healing, cleansing, purification, prosperity and protection. But then we start to split off. Ginger is great for raising one's personal power, success, new experiences, passion, and general energy. Turmeric is better for communication, family relations, courage, confidence, beauty, memory, and honesty.

Peach vs Nectarine

So what's the deal with these two? They look a lot a like. They smell a lot a like. They taste a lot a like. Are they the same fruit? Well no. But also yes. It's kind of interesting.

A peach is just a fuzzy nectarine. Their genetic composition is structured in a way they they are identical except for one difference that occurred naturally, stopping the fuzz from growing on peaches. Giving us nectarines. They are exactly the same in every other way. Which is hilarious because I remember growing up, I hated nectarines but loved peaches. I think the peaches were just grown local so they tasted better.

I want to be clear, this genetic deviation is a naturally occurring mutation. It was not a result of science or GMOs or any kind of known human interference.

Peaches are a very spiritual fruit. They are linked to wisdom, happiness, harmony, longevity, love and protection. Nectarines....would probably be an acceptable substitute.

tagged by @hauntedwoman to talk about 5 things i’m obsessed with <33333 thank you!!!

1. succession surprise, surprise. i’ve finally gotten around to starting a full succession rewatch and i’ve been taking notes. first and foremost, one of my missions for this rewatch was to really focus in on shiv as a character because the first time i watched it and then rewatched it, i was a huge tom and kendall girl and honestly really did not like shiv :( but i recognize now that my dislike for her was mostly a result of my own internalized misogyny and also because she is a woman written by men and they really do their best to make her one of the less sympathetic characters in the show. i also think that a big chunk of fans online (esp twitter) are quick to label her an evil woman and, when defending their pov, they tend to bring up her behavior towards tom and kendall while also ignoring how both tom and kendall have treated her. i’m really enjoying this rewatch and have really grown to love shivvy. her relationship with tom also reminds me a lot of macbeth and lady macbeth and i think that their relationships have a lot of parallels and i find it very very interesting!!! i’m hoping to compile enough evidence to write something comprehensible about it. also, ROMAN. i literally did not give a shit about roman until the last few episodes of season four which is crazy but something has come over me. i think it’s his issues with intimacy and refusal to let anyone like actually see him and love him that has really bonded me to him <3 additionally there is something about kieran culkin (and rory…) that has bewitched me this summer. i think it’s kieran’s little fangs. i’m obsessed

2. the enormity of my desire disgusting me <3 welcome to truelovewaitsmp3 on tumblr dot com. this summer, i don’t think i’ve opened my journal without writing about how bad i want someone to love me, to look at the mess of my insides and all of this gross desire and love me anyways. to quote something i said to katy alpacinolover in an email, “I DON’T WANT SOMETHING CASUAL. I WANT TO BE THE PREY IMPALED ON YOUR SHRIKE’S THORN.” there’s something to be said about shame here and probably a million other things but i’ve written it so many times already that i don’t care to repeat it here.

3. ??? (stone fruits) two weeks ago, i bought a carton of nine plums from a local produce market. i had been rotting on the couch all day and decided that if i didn’t get up and put on real clothes and go buy a plum i was going to die. the most erotic experience i’ve ever had was eating a plum over newly washed cream sheets, plum viscera under my nails and between my teeth, wine colored juice dripping down my chin and onto my sheets. when the plums were gone, i found two forgotten nectarines in the fridge. i have been assigned “the love song of j alfred prufrock” for three different classes over the last four years (high school english, western humanities and then british lit in college) and each time, the line “do i dare eat a peach” was said to refer to prufrock’s acid reflux. in my american lit class, my professor brought it up one day and told us that it referred to oral sex. anyways. a nectarine is not a peach but i find the experience just as enjoyable.

4. wasteland, baby (2019) for whatever reason, i’ve always gravitated more towards hozier’s first album. however, over the past two months, i have listened through wasteland, baby an insane amount of times. something about the world ending and having someone there to hold through it. this album is also so incredibly sexy and is home to the horniest and sweetest hozier songs (TALK, be, dinner & diatribes, movement, etc). at the end of the title track, hozier whispers “that’s it” and i lose my mind. nfwmb is an honorary wasteland baby track, to me, and also a song that makes me insane and that i have had on repeat lately. i’m scared and excited to see what unreal unearth is going to do to me.

5. a past that i cannot go back to !!!! my hometown is filled with too many ghosts. summer digs them back up. i drive past her mom’s house and have to see her stupid car. someone else comes into work and i have to be reminded of everything i’ve missed out on. i have written about the same thing so many times i’m afraid that my story is metamorphosing.

hiiii ok i’m tagging @alpacinolover (i know you’ve already been tagged by someone else but i really need you to do this) @motherofvinegar @kenromshiv and anyone else who wants to do it! im tagging u.

You’ve probably gone over this before but tumblr’s search engine sucks butt. So, what would each culture’s staple crops and livestock (for both meat and byproducts) be? How much would globalization come into play, like how irl potatoes are originally from South America but have become one of the most important staple foods across the world?

Staple crops and livestock vary throughout the Provinces due to climate and geography, though trade over the centuries has meant that ingredients like saltrice from Morrowind and honey from Skyrim are in constant circulation around the continent. Nonetheless, here are some uniquely local ingredients you'll find across Tamriel.

Altmer

Summerset's temperate climate makes it the ideal place to grow all sorts of exotic fruit, especially stone fruit. From peaches to lychees, nectarines to cherries, Summerset produces the largest quantities of these fruits (with the trade embargo around the Great War and Dragon Crisis making them an extremely sought-after prize). And don't forget the wine! Summerset is also famed for its gorgeous vineyards and even more gorgeous wines. However, juicy and flavourful grapes are beloved by almost anybody, making them a valuable staple crop too.

Livestock in Summerset is nothing particularly exciting. Merino sheep are farmed for their wool, which is a luxury export beloved by northern Provinces, while meat comes in the form of cattle and chickens. However, High Elves particularly love their wild-caught fish and herons, which are populous on their home island.

Argonians

Once again, fruit is a major export from Black Marsh, but the fertile (if hostile) region is home to some of Tamriel's best agricultural soil. From cocoa and coffee beans, saltrice and coconuts, to padan and banana leaves and more, you'll find all sorts of wonderful plant-based ingredients in Black Marsh. However, something that has gained in popularity following the Argonian diaspora has been palm wine, a potent alcoholic beverage.

As for livestock, you'll find bantam guar, guar lizards, various poultry, goats, and even farmed frogs and lizards to be popular. Sheep and cattle are far less popular due to the upkeep required for them to stay healthy in the swampy environment, making beef and mutton less popular and more expensive than in other Provinces.

Bosmer

The Bosmer are famed for their meat and animal byproducts, particularly from timber mammoths and sugar mammoths. Whether it's meat, pelts, or milk, these beasts are much beloved by the Wood Elves who take great care in rearing them.

Other popular exports from Valenwood include alcoholic beverages like rotmeth and jagga, as well as kopi luwak- a luxurious type of coffee made from beans found in civet cat excrement, thus making them Green Pact-friendly. And of course, Valenwood produces some of Tamriel's finest cocoa beans, mostly used for export. However, have you truly lived until you've tried salted sugar mammoth caramelised milk chocolate from Woodhearth?

Bretons

In High Rock, sheep and cattle are the most popular livestock to farm due to their versatility, with a constant demand for their meat, horns, skins, and milk. While it's nothing exciting, the animals in the region are usually grass-fed and free range, spanning acres of farmland (which can sometimes result in cultists and the like infringing upon the livelihood of livestock). Chickens, geese, turkeys, and ducks are also popular for their meat, down, and eggs, with High Rock producing some of Tamriel's best duck meat.

With regards to staple crops, wheat is a major export and features heavily in Breton cuisine, especially in bread.

Dunmer

The volcanic ash of Morrowind is key to its success in growing all manner of weird and wonderful crops. Market stalls across Vvardenfell and Blacklight bustle with sellers touting mushrooms of all kinds, saltrice, comberry, marshmerrow, hackle-lo, canis root, and much more, all of which are consumed locally as well as across Tamriel.

Regarding livestock, it should come as no surprise that the big money is in bug farming. Kwama mines produce cuttle, scuttle, scrib jelly, and kwama eggs, making them the backbone of Morrowind's mages and chefs alike. Nix-hounds and guar are raised both by town Dunmer and Ashlanders, while wild nix-ox is also popular for those who can afford it.

Imperials

Cyrodiil spans terrain from the snowy Jerall Mountains to the swamps of Blackwood. As a result, the Province is relatively self-sufficient in that it produces the bulk of its own consumption, from livestock to greens. Speaking of greens, battaglir, a type of weed, is a staple in the Imperial diet, making wild-foraged and farmed battaglir a key crop in the region. Like Summerset, Cyrodiil is also famed for itswines, and is proud of its unique grapes of every size, flavour, and colour (including ones that taste like cotton candy).

Livestock in Cyrodiil is about as generic as can be: cows, sheep, goats, poultry, and horses. While meat is a staple part of the Imperial diet, milk is also important as it is used to make the cream and cheeses so prized by the Province.

Khajiit

What don't the Khajiit grow or rear? From Southern Elsweyr's rich moon sugar and rice paddies to the North's edible cacti and tea, the Province is full of exotic and scrumptious delights that are highly prized across Tamriel. Ingredients are valuable both raw and processed, and form the backbone of the Khajiiti economy. Samar Pekoe tea, for example, is wild-harvested from caves and is beloved by tea aficionados across the continent, and fetches a hefty price for its rarity. Pellitine cacao and coffee beans are also a staple in any self-respecting chef's kitchen.

In terms of livestock, you'll find guar, poultry, beef, and goat to be popular, as well as wild game like jerboas, terror birds, antelope, and addaxes. Game meat can often be purchased from Bandaari nomads, who hunt the animals themselves. Whether fresh or dried into jerky, who doesn't want some moon sugar-cured addax jerky for the road?

Nords

Foreigners in Skyrim are often shocked by the range of produce we're capable of producing in our cold and often inhospitable lands. Fish and horker are consumed in great amounts locally, as well as being one of the Province's major exports. Goat from the Reach, cattle from Whiterun, and honey from the Rift are always in high demand.

Apples and jazbay grapes are probably the most valuable crops in Skyrim, followed by wheat and other fruits and vegetables. The former two are used in cider and wine, both of which are valued across the Provinces.

Orcs

Wrothgarian Orcs differ from Betnikh Orcs who differ from Wood Orcs and so on... so in this case, it really varies. For Wrothgarian Orsimer, echatere is the main source of meat and milk, while in Betnikh it's fish, and in Valenwood, timber mammoth. All these groups also enjoy game, from rabbit and wolf to pheasant and venison, which features heavily in regional Orcish cuisine. Wild honey from Betnikh is also another notable animal product that bears mention here.

In terms of crops, there aren't many of note aside from valuable herbs and spices. Frost mirriam, which is also loved by alchemists, and wrathberries, known for their violently bitter taste unless prepared correctly, are two of the most important plants you'll find for sale at any stronghold.

Redguards

I've said it before and I'll say it again: goat, goat, and more goat. Unless you're a coastal Redguard with access to seafood, it's likely that your main source of meat and milk will come from goats. Whether it's feta or kebabs, it's almost always goat meat, as they wander all through Hammerfell like they own the place. However, Redguards are also renowned for breeding horses, and the uh... faulty ones are generally turned into food. Spiced horse blood sausage and spreadable horse 'nduja are a staple in households across Hammerfell.

With staple crops, you'll find that corn, coconuts, palm fruit and oil, bananas, coffee, cinnamon and other spices, and cocoa are plentiful. These are all consumed in great amounts within the Province, but are also highly prized across Tamriel.

Y'ALL.

The nectarine jam experiment was a definite success. This stuff is so. good.

This was a last-minute activity - we were supposed to be doing some non-kitchen magic tonight - but there were nectarines prepped in the freezer, so I yoinked them out last night to thaw, and we raided the liquor cabinet to see what was immediately available. One batch with (local) amaretto in, one batch with frangelico in. One-third cup of alcohol added to standard jam recipe at the very end, after the last minute of rolling boil, just before it gets spooned into the jars.

(This is not just delicious but also one of the ways we've started getting around the no-alcohol law at state parks when we have ritual there, given we're more likely than not to want to include libations of some kind of alcohol. Now we just spoon out some drunken jam, instead, and then finish off the jar as part of the post ritual meal.)

Cannot believe it's taken me this long to experiment with nectarines. They're a little bit wetter than peaches, and the jars are still cooling, so we'll see if the set is as firm, but test drive already shows it's going to be firm enough to be spooned over goat cheese on crackers.

(DELICIOUS)

Hello mutual in law gardnergulfie. Could I perhaps inquire about the npcs from dnd

So that "cow man" is named Simon and he's a member of the rival adventuring party to my players! I'll tell you all about them rn!

(Art by @autisticzedaph and @cuuno)

Ok so Simon, Simon McOwens, is a minotaur wizard (formerly a paladin till situation caused him to renounce his oath) and he's the leader of the rival party. He's a friendly but sometimes awkward guy who's charisma comes from just how outgoing he is! He'll cheer for you even if the two of you are racing! He's the one who has the wrangle the more rowdy members of his group in line, to varying degrees of success. Oh and also he's Transhet and uses he/him pronouns!

Next is Nectarine Everloam: a dwarf artificer and the unoffcial second in command of the group. The voice I do for her is based on Fluttershy MLP and thats a pretty good indicator of her personality. Thought quiet and shy, she's actually quite respected by her group and can silence some of them with a look and a few words. She doesn't get angry, just disappointed (which is worse honestly). She also has a lil pet mouse construct! Deffo has adhd/autism. She uses she/her and is a lesbian!

Then we have Took Lil-Tell: an owlin ranger/warlock who wants you to think its a rogue! Very much the "Oh he's a lil guy -> oh he's a bit fucked up actually!" Looks like a sweet, trustworthy tbh creature, big fan of knives, mischief, and thievery. But look at their lil face, you wouldn't hurt them would you? No, you can't, and while you're unable to fight them they're snickering and giggling at you. Awful, I love him. It's aroallo and uses it/they/he btw!

Finally we have the beloved bastard: Sir Finley Prayfallow. A rune knight fighter tabaxi who should probably start investing in barbarian because Wow is she easily riled up. This cat is Miles Edgeworth meets Pirate Joe and he sucks soooo bad. Like, most stuck up cat Ever. British /neg. Kinda pathetic too. I love her, I hate her, she lives in my head rent free. He literally went to a school for knights and yet somehow has the strangest honor code ever. He would call you a slur but only one he can reclaim himself. I hope he changes or dies <3. Also she uses he/she and is very gay.

So yeah those are my blorbos I have Many More in my backpockets but those are the main ones me and the party obsess over. Hope this is enough info!

#asks #unnamed dnd campaign #Simon McOwens #Nectarine Everloam #Took Lil-Tell #Sir Finley Prayfallow

🇫🇷🗣️Description du Domaine 🇫🇷🗣️

Notre village de Crouseilles est situé à quelques kilomètres au sud de Madiran, dans le Sud-Ouest de la France, en pays du Vie-Bith. La Seigneurie de Crouseilles, delimitée au 16e siècle par des murailles dont Il reste quelques vestiges, est aujourd'hui un vignoble travaillé à la main par une poignée de vignerons passionnés qui ont à cœur de sublimer leurs cépages autochtones.

L'appellation: AOC PACHERENC DU VIC-BILH

Rattachée au piémont pyrénéen, l'appellation Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh ne produit que des vins blancs.Elle est située à 40kms de Pau, sur la même aire d'appellation que les rouges de Madiran. L'Adour rivière capricieuse toute proche confère un microclimat unique. La forte pluviométrie se combine à vents locaux sous l'influence des Pyrénées, de l'Océan Atlantique. Les coteaux sont soumis à d'important variations géologiques dues à la formation de la chaîne des Pyrénées.

📜In summary📜:

An appellation that I love which combines complexities and an explosion of candied fruit on the palate. Ideal for spending a gourmet evening with your partner.

🇬🇧🗣️Domain Description 🇬🇧🗣️

Our village of Crouseilles is located a few kilometers south of Madiran, in the South-West of France, in Vie-Bith country. The Seigneurie de Crouseilles, delimited in the 16th century by walls of which some vestiges remain, is today a vineyard worked by hand by a handful of passionate winegrowers who are keen to sublimate their native grape varieties.

The appellation: AOC PACHERENC DU VIC-BILH

Attached to the Pyrenean foothills, the Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh appellation only produces white wines. It is located 40km from Pau, in the same appellation area as the Madiran reds. The nearby capricious Adour River provides a unique microclimate. The high rainfall combines with local winds under the influence of the Pyrenees and the Atlantic Ocean. The hillsides are subject to significant geological variations due to the formation of the Pyrenees chain.

🗣️🇮🇹Descrizione i Dominio 🗣️🇮🇹

Il nostro villaggio di Crouseilles si trova a pochi chilometri a sud di Madiran, nel sud-ovest della Francia, nel paese dei Vie-Bith. La Seigneurie de Crouseilles, delimitata nel XVI secolo da mura di cui rimangono alcune vestigia, è oggi un vigneto lavorato a mano da un pugno di viticoltori appassionati desiderosi di sublimare i loro vitigni autoctoni.

La denominazione: AOC PACHERENC DU VIC-BILH

Situata ai piedi dei Pirenei, la denominazione Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh produce esclusivamente vini bianchi e si trova a 40 km da Pau, nella stessa zona di denominazione dei rossi Madiran. Il vicino e capriccioso fiume Adour offre un microclima unico. Le forti precipitazioni si combinano con i venti locali sotto l'influenza dei Pirenei e dell'Oceano Atlantico. I pendii sono soggetti a notevoli variazioni geologiche dovute alla formazione della catena dei Pirenei.

Ashnikko Album Review: WEEDKILLER

(Parlophone/Warner Records)

BY JORDAN MAINZER

It's rare that someone's debut album is a concept record, though if anyone were to successfully on first pass navigate the murky waters between establishing a fictional narrative and making a larger statement about humanity as a whole, it would be trap metal singer-songwriter and rapper Ashnikko. On WEEDKILLER, a fairy civilization has been destroyed by machines, and the protagonist essentially becomes part machine in order to uproot the system from within. You can immediately see parallels to the crises of our time, from climate change to the legislative war on people with uteruses and LGBTQ+ folks; Ashnikko doesn't suggest to either burn it all down or incrementally pick battles, instead focusing on their own emotions to elicit empathy. It works to cement both their imperfections and wants.

Fittingly, some of the best songs on WEEDKILLER are about desire, especially queer desire. The Daniela Lalita-featuring erotica of "Super Soaker" skitters to corporeal heights. "Don't Look At It" is less spiritual, more physical, Ashnikko comparing themselves to Tony Hawk as they're "doin' tricks until my tongue hurt." "Miss Nectarine" details Ashnikko's childhood friend who they'd make out with to "practice for the boys," Ashnikko developing unrequited feelings. "The bruise of bein' fourteen / Got chlorine in our hair, my jaw is shaking in my mouth," they sing, the warbly auto-tune an effective window into their emotional volatility. And "Possession of a Weapon", written after the overturning of Roe v. Wade, effectively alternates between anger and mournful acceptance. "How dare I have private desires?" Ashnikko asks, at the same time realistically and sadly comparing their own body to a chess piece in a game played by lawmakers, their autonomy as strong against oppressive rain as papier-mâché.

Ashnikko has been making music for almost a decade and releasing it for over half that time, so they've certainly established somewhat of a visual and sonic identity. WEEDKILLER doesn't upend what they'd been exploring on their EPs and debut mixtape DEMIDEVIL, but it's certainly their most cohesive statement yet. The title track and "World Eater" form not just the conceptual but musical base for the whole album, a conglomerate of trap beats, cascading synths, and power chords. "Worms", in which Ashnikko makes the best of their own decomposition within a post apocalyptic-world, features surprisingly limber bars and inventive rhyme schemes, as they declare, "Brand-new day, got a brand-new grin / Got a colony of ants underneath my skin / My bones decay, now I'm gelatin / I swear I'm better, Miss Parasite Possessor." From nu metal jams with metallic, clanging percussion to obvious, but successful Britney and Rihanna tributes, Ashnikko fulfills the promising pop dexterity they merely hinted at on previous releases.

And then there's "Dying Star", which takes another sonic left-turn and perhaps hints at where Ashnikko could go next. Featuring gothic Americana troubadour Ethel Cain, Ashnikko finds an aesthetic nestled somewhere in between the hyper-aggression of the rest of WEEDKILLER and Cain's slow-burning epics. The two harmonize, over repeatedly echoing guitar strums and bass lines, Ashnikko at one point singing, "I want something soft." After an album's worth of diss tracks and feelings bursting at the seams, they finally let themselves be vulnerable.

It’s been a “fun” week, so to try and escape a little I thought I’d start to compile all my ideas about Criladith, or some. Sorry for the word spill

So, let’s start with the save itself. “Criladith 1” as we can call it started to shows signs of corruption (I think). Couldn’t load families, certain lots weren’t loading/crashed if they did. I was pretty spooked and contemplating simply building my own lots (I’d been using prebuilt Gwrych lots) and moving families, when I remembered. I had been getting my servants by simply teleporting sims on the sim blender and moving them in, very bad idea because these were all service sims. It was a theory until I checked something, our darling evil Judith Kellers had incomplete data. You couldn’t even extract her appearance (which is why she’ll look different in round 2.) So Judith had been an unsafe npc and Criladith 1 was on a timer.

It many ways a corruption scare was probably just what I needed. I hadn’t been liking the map, the way I had set up four corners each province was going to be its own separate entity in competition with one another. I ended really hating that and the looming rise in households I’d need to play (we started with 16 at the beginning of round 1) and lots I’d need to build. I also wasn’t vibing with the grwych lots, they weren’t meeting the needs of the sims or me. So I extracted all of the sims, recreated them in a new map (terrain?) and started to build everything from scrap. Which has led to a long process of building but it’s been sooo rewarding.

As it stands Criladith will now one day be a kingdom, instead of 4. Each province will be built up as rural villages where my yeoman and peasants will reside. Each will have natural resource lots (ie forest, mine) and a village green and well in addition what other regional specific lots it’s hold. All the other lots and families (families will be randomized from now on, no more couples straight from cas) past hamlet will be built in the “Capital/Charter City” in the middle of the map. The CC will host merchants, gentry, nobles, and one day my royals. Taxes from all the regions will be pooled together toward the CC. So how will we know who is to be crowned our monarch if not through monetary gain? I think I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s whichever noble tops the Politics career first. If the noble dies before they can it falls on their child to continue to fight for their house. The success of the province/level in their career will decide what titles the other three nobles obtain when the royal family is crowned. Not sure if the noble reaches the top of the career before the CC is complete if they will be crowned, maybe maybe not.

Besides the CC and provinces there will be a university section (city planning is not my strong suit, it will either be on the hill or somewhere in the CC). Religious sections will also be built for those that practice convent type devotion. Athos (Vilena’s god) is going to have nuns who run the orphanage and maybe brothers. I also want to build a military compound with a prison tower, knight barracks, regular military barracks (for peasant/yeomans, a much more grueling track than that of knights), a church, training grounds, and some sort of relaxation building. (If you can’t tell this is what I’m currently working in game.) Very heavily inspired by how @mortia handles her barracks. Nectarine Nivell is one of our knights to be, and others will soon follow. Also if anyone has some nice medieval N names for her instead of Nevaeh/Nectarine I’d appreciate the suggestions :)
