#never realized that I had so many screenshots of my babies

[astoldbychae]

OC's...but make it A.I.

@percosim, ask and you shall receive. 😁

Some of the OC's have been pulled outta the vault (my external hard drive) because their save has been a WIP since lawd knows how long. But they're in this new save I had to create (because I tried splitting saves up by story and both somehow got corrupted/glitched out) 🙃. Anywho...

Let's get into it.

Messiah "Dino" Villareal 🥵 (GIIIRRRLLLLL they even put him in his natural habitat...you KNOW he never has a shirt on!)

Deijah Allender & Jaron O'Neal (her long-term boyfriend) They've been together for 7 years but have known each other for 10 (I feel like these pictures would be from when they first met/started seeing each other)

Carmelo "Melo" Hollingsworth , Marguerite Webber (His Ex-Wife/High school sweetheart/Children's mother), and Monet Giordano (Pregnant girlfriend)

📌 [I figured you might wanna see your boo thang all dressed up @thegloomiestwhim ]

Kimora "Angel" White & Allen "Ace" Miller (I gotta bring him back out the vault, along with his son and ex-girlfriend/son's mother ViVi (the fashion stylist) since their save got corrupted)

Ramone "Moe" Solitto, Aura Matthews (his girlfriend), and Kelsi Galvin (his high school sweetheart/ex-girlfriend)

Below are just some random ones I did just to see what they'd look like:

Top: Nico Rodriguez, Ashlee Brand

Bottom: Malaysia Walker, Capri Stephens

Brain Dump // Ideas Incoming: Seeing all them together in one place (basically grouped together by story) just gave me so much inspiration! I know for a fact that I won't be able to have an ongoing years long story series but what my brain can do is tell each story like a mini-series with a designated number of episodes/chapters (some may be one-off's, kinda like how fan fic writers do their stories). A few will be told in machinima form while the others will be written.

They all exist in the same world because ultimately each story is connected in some way.

Thanks for the much appreciated story inspo Perco! 💕

Together

Word count: 1.4K

Summary: you’re live-streaming when your girlfriend decided it would be a great idea to interrupt your stream

Warnings: none, just lots of fluff <3

Pairing: Jenna Ortega X Fem!Reader

First Jenna Ortega one shots! Hopefully you’ll like it 🤍✨

———

You opened twitch for your usual live stream that day. It was close to Christmas so you didn’t expect many people. However you had lots of followers so even though many of them were busy, there were still the usual supporters that never left your side even during the most boring lives. “Hello guys and welcome back to my channel! Today we’re going to play a bit of Valorant, I’ll be doing some games on my own but then I’ll play with you guys so hopefully you’ll get the chance to play with me!” People loved you so much, you were really good at that game and would beat everyone, but they still loved to try.

The games were going by smoothly of course and you’d Always win. There were times when someone would almost beat you, but you always had the best of it. You were about to start another game when you heard a knock on the door to your room. “Hold on guys someone’s at my door” you pushed the button to shut the mic, only you didn’t actually press it snd it stayed open. “You can come in!” You said taking your headphones off, smiling brightly when you saw your girlfriend poke her head in the room. People in the comments started freaking out “OMG IS THAT JENNA ORTEGA” “SO THE RUMORS WERE TRUE” “I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU TWO ARE ACTUALLY TOGETHER” and so on as you two spoke.

“Hi baby” you said turning around to talk to her “hi love, I was making pancakes and I was wondering if you wanted some?” She asked in a cute voice as she pouted, and you smiled even more at her. “Yes of course. Maybe we can eat them together when I make a break here?” You said and she pouted even more “okay baby. But can I get a kiss?” She said as she walked in the room slowly. “Yeah of course, just let me shut the camera off-“ you then turned back to your screen and took a brief glance at the comments, only then realizing the your mic was open the whole time. “Have I been talking this whole time with my mic open?” You asked as you blushed, putting a hand over your mouth as you laughed. In the meantime Jenna was dying of laughter behind you.

“Stop! Oh my god this is so embarrassing-“ you said and covered your whole face as you laughed, and Jenna behind you too was now crying of laughter. Then people in the comments started asking Jenna to stay. “Oh my god- okay let me read the comments” you said as you tried to calm down from laughing so hard. “Jenna, people here are asking for you to stay and join the live with me, do you want to?” After a bit of convincing her, she nodded and you let her sit on your thighs. She was so light after all so you didn’t even feel her weight. “Okay guys, we’re gonna stop with the game now as we have a new special guest. If she agrees too you can ask us some questions” she nodded and you rested your hand on her thigh and the other one on her waist.

“I want that kiss though” Jenna said as she looked at you and pouted once again. You loved when she did that so you smiled at her and moved a strand of hair behind her ear before placing your hand on her cheek and pulling her in for a short, sweet kiss. You were now aware that at this point both of your fans would be taking screenshots, but both of you didn’t care. They had to be sure of your relationship at some point. When both of you pulled back you smiled and looked at each other with heart eyes before moving your attentions back to the stream.

“Okay so, let’s start with the questions” Jenna said. it was no use for you two to wait for them as there were already thousands of them. Though you shut the mic for a second, this time making sure that it was actually closed. “Babe, are you sure you actually wanna answer questions? Aren’t you tired of all the interviews?” You said as you lightly caressed her thigh with your thumb. “Yes I’m sure honey. It’s not actual interviews and I love replying to the fans’s questions. And they’re your fans too, so I’m more than pleasured to answer them!” She said smiling at you brightly and you nodded, turning the microphone on again and reading the first questions.

“Are you two actually together?” Jenna read “well yes, it’s almost two years actually. We never made it public before today, but it was pretty obvious” she replied and looked you once again with heart eyes. “How did you two meet?” You were the one reading this time. “Well I was in the recording crew in one of her movies. I was the only girl her age so we got along pretty quickly. Though I never expected that I’d get to be her girlfriend. It was something unexpected for the both of us actually but we’ve grown really fond of our relationship and it’s the best one I’ve ever had” you said and Jenna couldn’t help the smile that made the way on her face.

“Are you finished shooting for the year?” Jenna read. “Fortunately yes. I’ve come back home to be with her and my family so I’ll be here until the end of January, because then I have to start shooting again.” You pouted at that and she noticed, giving you a couple kisses “we’ll still call and be in touch baby don’t worry” she said and you nodded cutely before reading another question. “Does Jenna ever spoil you the movies she’s filming?” You read, and Jenna immediately started laughing because you already knew the reply you’d give. “No not at all! That’s not fair though, because at times I help her revise the scripts and she doesn’t tell me what the movie talks about and it’s so frustrating!” Jenna kept laughing “stop it!” You said and laughed lightly with her as she held your hand and intertwined your fingers.

The interview went on with some more questions until you got hungry and decided to go get the pancakes. “Baby I’m gonna go make the pancakes, you okay here?” You asked and watched as she nodded and kissed your cheek. When you got up she sat down on your chair and put your headphones on. You thought about how cute she looked, and then you went to make the pancakes. The whole time you were cooking you heard her respond to questions and even start conversations on her own. When you were finished doing pancakes you walked back in the room and after positioning the plate on the table you hugged her from behind, arms around her chest as you placed small kisses on her neck. She immediately smiled “the pancakes are ready honey” you whispered and gave her some more kisses.

After you ate the pancakes and replied to some more questions, you decided it was time to end the live and when it was closed you scooped Jenna up in your arms and threw her on your bed as you started tickling her, watching her squirm around and laugh. God you loved her laugh so much and you’d spend your whole day listening to it. Eventually after a while you stopped and crawled on top of her, kissing her gently on the lips, but when you were about to move to her neck she flipped you over and smiled at you. “Decided to take control?” You whispered and smiled at her, and then she started kissing on your neck, gently biting it as she left hickeys and you both ended up “cuddling” into the night.

Understanding Lennon McCartney Rewatch Part 1.5

Coke Paul is just so pretty

What is the switching glasses supposed to mean in the penny lane video? Any thoughts?

In this interview, Paul seconds John's “go on forever” comment from a few months ago. They really did so well when they were living together, didn't they?

Okay, let's look at the difference in Paul's trips. His first ever trip with Tara Browne and he's just concerned that his sleeves are dirty and just mildly looking through a book of pictures. VS with John? The “I know.” “I know.” The “emperor of the universe” thing? Raving about it to everyone who would listen? Having to leave multiple times because it was scary how tightly they were bonding?

Their songwriting partnership is beyond insane. It's superhuman, it really is. Their abilities, their connection. And Cyn and Terry just reading. Just completely nonplussed. This was very every-day, monotonous stuff for them. Unfathomable. 

That song will always get me, though. “what do I do when my love is away?” “Obviously move my best friend in to take her place and then write a timeless classic with him about how it.”

Astrid: At first I did wonder if the really cared about people's feelings and people's friendship. Maybe this doc's whole thesis is “John and Paul's love for each other was so big they didn't have room for any kind feeling toward anyone else.”

The Pepper photoshoot is insane to me. Like more insane than the David Bailey one. Change my mind. You can't.

John tells an interviewer, "Only now am I beginning to realize many of the things I should have known years ago. I'm getting to understand my own feelings." Were follow-up questions just not invented yet??!! What things have you just learned, John? What feelings?

Never forget Linda took these. She must've been somewhat aware of how annoying this man was going to be about John from the start. And she still went after him. That's how good his . . . Nevermind.

"a decisive moment in the history of Western civilization" Well done, babies. 

I love smug Paul in general, and I especially love when he's smug about John. That “me and the badass bitch I pulled by being autistic” look. But literally. 

Gosh the Greece trip looks so beautiful. Idyllic. Paradisiacal. All of the beautiful people are just so blissful and in love. Sigh. (Every time I tried to take a screenshot of it it was too awful. Peter Jackson should clean it up.)

What are everyone's thoughts about the cause of Brian's death? I really liked what Vivek Tiwary said on AKOM. He knew he was taking a dangerous amount of drugs and he was depressed. But he wouldn't have just left so suddenly without leaving a will or setting things in order for the Beatles business. Anyway, no matter the cause, his death is the beginning of the end for the Beatles.  

All those quotes and pictures about the “intensity” between Paul and Brian are fascinating. “Obviously adored” “overcompensate” “little worries” What does it all mean? Was Brian in love with Paul in the end like he had been in love with John in the beginning? Or did he just feel bad because he knew it was unfair to Paul how in love he was with John? 

Wait, Brian was hospitalized for s*icide attempts in 66? Really? Confirmed? I knew he was in the hospital, but didn't know it was due to s*icide. 

Paul's hand at the small of John's back here, helping him onto the bus. It's so tender, so customary. They took such good care of each other.

Interviewer talking about MMT: If I can't see it in color, I'm going to send it back. ... :/

They're directing something and as Paul starts to walk away, so does John. But not because he wants to. He's looking around almost frantically. He has no choice in the matter. Only one person gets to control their legs at a time, and right now it's Paul's turn. 

Look how fucking ecstatic he is. I guarantee John isn't saying anything that monumental but look at those eyes. He's done for. Gone.

Interviewer: just get a tape recorder and you and Paul and the others just start gabbing. John: well, we've got a lot of that lying around the house, actually. Me: First of all “the house?” “the house?” Just casual. Like “our house” Like it's just common knowledge that they've been married and living together since they were fifteen. Second of all, give us the tapes already!! Who has them? Paul? 

All of these quotes from the Hunter Davies biography are just so normal. They're all so normal. It's fine. I'm fine. And here's my tin hat coming on again (and yeah I believe John loved George and Ringo immensely) but I think sometimes in these quotes, when John and Cyn are saying "the Beatles" they kind of mean "Paul . . . And George and Ringo". John himself actually says as much in the seventies, that when he says "the Beatles" he might just mean Paul, or just him and Paul. And there are countless times when Paul or John will start out saying "the others" and end up using just one name in a sentence. Idk this doc makes me such a truther I swear I'm not always this crazy.

And John's self soothing, reassuring refrain playing over all of it, “nothing's gonna change my world.” Right after Paul and Jane get engaged? Someone stab me in the heart, it would hurt less. And this is just the anticipation of the next part. Can I even handle part two?

Have some happy screenshots to bolster us.

Courtney Orchard: Wolf In Sheep's Clothing

I apologize for the fact that most people who do know me will not have any understanding of this nor the things going on here- however this is not aimed at my current following (however minimal it is after my long term inactivity). I never wanted to get in a situation where something like this happened again and I had to speak about it. This is me speaking up not only for myself but numerous other people. I am now more cautious as a person so I do infact have real receipts this time. I have evidence of what was done to me and others by my ex-friend and by extension their friend group and server.

Courtney Orchard has tried numerous times to gaslight and manipulate me. They have also lied about my interactions with him and what was said- I also was not clear enough in my few original statements. I apologize for how long this document is, it took many weeks to actually properly finalize it and put it together due to just how much it hurt to be forced to see all of this and realize I had been dumb enough to let such a cruel person into my life again. I apologize for every having associated with her. I fully disavow him- even more than I had before.

Trigger Warnings from the document;

Murder/death of a baby via assault of a pregnant woman, graphic descriptions of said violence and other instances of violence,  child endangerment, graphic descriptions of violence, talk of pedophilia, pedo-jacketing, grooming of children, incest, screenshots of someone admitting to grooming and incest at the same time, threats of trafficking, molestation, homes burning down, ableism, manipulation of disabled people, mentions of CSEM and offending pedophiles.

List of Victims other than myself spoken about in the document;

Poppy And Zena

Annie Gallagher

Wyles

Alchemist Dreamers

Patchwork Heart

Saige/Cerise

Milena

This is NOT me saying that Courtney is not a victim of Lily. Courtney is 100% her victim. This is about his own separate behavior outside of that. This is about helping my friends, acquaintances, and even people I am on bad terms with. Numerous people I am on bad terms with might I add.

My DMs are open for anyone further who wants to talk if they were hurt by these actions or similar and I will have anons on for a bit.

Thank you.

Episode 26 of Pokemon Horizons! New arc let's go!!!

Now for the record, I absolutely love the Dokimeki Diary Opening, the new one can't be that goo-

(;O_o) Oh shit it is that good.

They fr put half the budget into this omg I LOVE THE VISUALS HERE HOLY CRAP- (the song is alright, 8/10) but my god does the song fit the theme

Hmmm. Gay?

Listen they're on Orio's Metagross flying through the skies behind the rest of the crew, Mollie's Chancy right there too- Like come on you see it right??

*inhales* OH HE'S SO HAVING AN ARC TRUST ME HERE OMG AMITHIO COME ON DUDE. THE FUCKING LYRIC TOO- "Now run forth! Towards my future!" like if that's not a hint I dunno what is. I should have screenshot his face after this part, cuz like hello?? It's so happening sooner or later. I am not delusional okay you guys have to trust me-

Okay Grandma, you got it! I love her character she's so nice!

The whimsy. The plodding along. Smile on it's face. Not a damn braincell behind those eyes. I am already attached.

Uh oh, is someone jealous Sprigattito? Well yeah, I saw this coming, Liko is obviously concerned for Terrapagos and Sprig here is gonna take it hard, being her first mon and all.

Plus. It's a cat. They like their attention.

JUMPSCARE

Also Hattenna flying out of the hoodie omg. Tiny little thing.

Anyways I didn't screenshot the next scene but Liko and Dot talked about how Terrapagos has finally woken up after decades of sleep inside the pendant. Of course it's curious. Baby didn't even eat the food the other mons were eating, it went for some berries below decks. Something that pokemon long ago ate. Something familiar to it.

Same, can't tell you how many times I've done some late night reading and had this happen to me (minus the books as a pillow) (no reason I thought this was funny)

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME LITTLE GUY WHAT ARE YOU DOING OMG

Not shown here but it climbed all the way to the top and started calling out. To Lucius probably. Again, this little guy just woke up after a REALLY long time and probably doesn't know that Lucius is most likely... dead.

And considering the mystery behind what happened to Lucius, plus the recent revelation that the Explorers were his friends, we could assume he met a depressing end. Oh buddy wait till it finds out

Anyways Liko decided to just. CLIMB UP THERE TO SAVE THE LITTLE GUY. I mean yeah sure it was gonna slip and fall off and she didn't have time to call anyone BUT STILL

Also nice catch Grandma. Quick shoutout to Sprigattito for headbutting the door leading to the balcony which alerted Diana.

Alright, the picture seals it. They are related. The fucking intro also alludes to it too, with Liko, her mom, and Diana getting surrounded by energy from the pendant, and a very quick flyby of Lucius. With their startling blue eyes clear as starlight.

The same shade that all three of them share.

You get the point.

ALSO NEW DRIP!!!.... for a couple minutes before she realizes that Sprigattito feels neglected after a full day of her chaseing after the little turtle boi. Which is actually very important, we've seen just how much she cares about her mons, and it's the reason why Olivia and G-Moltress trusted her (well okay Moltress went with her after seeing Terrapagos.) We also got a potential reason behind seeing the memories of Lucius due to the pendant, Liko caring about them had a reaction in Terrapagos. Good to know.

Some things never change.

Very reminesent of the first episode and how they bonded. Liko finding Sprigattito. Her talking to it and explaining how she still cares for Sprig, even after everything they've been through. And the little cuddle and bap.

HISUI NAME DROP!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!

Anyways, they were discussing how'd they even find the mons, Lapras, Enti, Kleevor, and of course, Shiny Rayquazza. Enti being a roaming legendary, Kleevor being an ancient mon in of itself, though it's possibly in Sinnoh, scaring the locals based on the picture of it. And Lapras... it's in the ocean. Who knows where it could be in the first place (someone said Alolah is possible which I agree with)

We do know that Rayquazza is still here, in Galar, thanks to Dot. We're still getting him, and after that... who knows! (I just hope Roy gets his dream come true with catching it and all)

Oooooooohhhh is Amitheio still upset after that battle from last episode??? Damn that must have hit hard, losing a battle like that, and then Friede outright telling him that he's been holding back which what the fuck my man you don't just say that-

Pretty neat episode! Nothing too hard to digest, I loved it! Lets see where this new arc takes us!

#just posting #pokémon #pokemon horizons #pokemon horizons spoilers #Man I loved this one!

[eggs-can-draw]

you probably missed those because I copied your tags before saying anything so you couldn't tell from the notifs, which I spammed, mostly with rbs that didn't add anything, it's understandable that you didn't check all of them, so I screenshotted them for you. Again, no hate on your choice of a cat breed, I love all cats, I think I just have a problem with coming on strong when I have an alternative idea. And the way I pictured Monaca's possible involvement, is her recording it for her tiktok or something tiktok adjacent. Komaru tried to install some sort of parental control on her phone that'd make it impossible for her to download it, but out of the two Monaca is far superior in dealing with technology, so Teaching Babies to Swear Pt.9 goes viral

YOU FOOL. YOU UTTER BUFOON (affectionate <3) I READ AND REREAD THESE LIKE EVERY FUCKING DAY BECAUSE THEY MAKE ME GRIN LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT.

I never responded cause I didn't wanna be annoying or anything I'm bad at people sometimes aaaaaugh 👉👈

Listen. Listen to me. Look me in the eyes. At least in my opinion, you come off strong in a good way. You're PASSIONATE!!! I FUCKING LOVE TO SEE IT BESTIE!!! NEVER LET ANYONE PUT YOU DOWN FOR BEING PASSIONATE!!!!! The thought of Kokichi with a ferret is fucking inspired and I LOVE IT SLINKY LITTLE GUY FOR THE SLINKY LITTLE GUY. also YES HAJIME IS SUCH A BASIC BITCH. I could totally see him going to a shelter or smth and just adopting the first kitty that comes up to him. love at first sight. He did not realize how much he would miss the constant chaos 24/7 until he's helping Kokichi with his little backpack (no leash attached this time) and watching him run into school. Sometimes a gremlin is what makes a house a home. (also them having a tabby means so so so much to me now, I had a tabby growing up and she was the sweetest cat ever) Also LMAO I LOVE LOVE LOVE TIKTOKER MONACA. SHE IS AN ABSOLUTE MENACE. KOMARU HAS TRIED EVERY PARENTAL LOCK IN THE BOOK BUT MONACA STAYS SILLY. also just. ough. this one. this one actually makes me sob. I LOVE THIS SO SO SO MUCH IVE BEEN REREADING IT ALL DAY JUST. THINKING. so so so so so so so many thoughts AGH. THE AFTERMATH. HAJIME BEING TOSSED INTO THE ROOM WITH THE PARENTS, TOTALLY PASSED OUT (they got him with a second horse tranq when his back was turned) KOMAEDA WATCHING HAJIME AND THE DOOR LIKE A FUCKING HAWK, SONIA WANTING TO REACT BUT SHE KNOWS SHE FUCKING KNOWS IF SHE DOES ANYTHING THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE IN EVEN MORE TROUBLE. She takes a deep breath. Pulls out her perfect practiced princess quality smile. She speaks like the queen she was built to become. She wants to tear them apart limb from limb. (also just throwing this out there because I thought of it earlier, Naegi was "Formally Escorted Off The Premises" after the punch) also just. ough. it's an important distinction with the origin of their talents. The dr1 and sdr2 squad's talents are talent born from despair. The v3 kids have talent that's born from hope. Hope for the future hope for themselves and it just. mmmh.

#eggs can answer #kokichi ouma #hajime hinata #nagito komaeda #monaca towa #komaru naegi #sonia nevermind #makoto naegi #also just. I dont know why this made me think of this but this made me think of Hajime reuniting(meeting) Kokichi for the first time and #just. I unno. Naegi is also there because he's making sure Kokichi gets there safe and before Naegi can explain Hajime just. knows. #he isnt using any analysis talent or anything he just. knows. he looks at Kokichi and he just. #yeah

[thanatasia]

I rise from my vampire coffin bed to bring you all more IG Questions I made. Some are from a while ago and others are fairly recent.

We know how I love to write so here’s a brief continued thought for each

It’s not often I draw Fleur and Cha’l as childlings so this one was fun! They’re both so whittle and precious- Maeve and Bhihaar created two cutie pies! I apologize if Fleur’s baby talk is written poorly I was having difficulty writing how I think a young kid would pronounce those words lol

Fleur loves reading and writing so I definitely see her enjoying manga/anime as a young lassywings in a modern au lol Pretend that the screenshots I added have Gelfling ears. She’s one of those younger anime fans who doesn’t let anyone but their closest friends know. (I’m sure this idea is a thing of the past now since anime is pretty mainstream now)

I imagine that this particular scene is from Fleur early bounty hunting days, hence the mask. To keep with the AoR canon Fleur doesn’t kill criminals, she fights them into submission or uses sleeping powder/ta

I will never not be cheering that OceanPetals became parents! Definitely one of Fleur’s most treasured memories. Razer belongs to,my dear friend @jack-toons

The next two are from a reverse au myself and Jack-toons made and- I AM OBSESSED WITH IT!! Aahhhh! Y’all are not ready for that AU lol The Cha’l everyone has come to love is a delinquent and a big time charmer. Reverse au Cha’l gets into plenty of fights, likes to show off his physique to the lassywings he takes a shine to, among other fun things I’ll share in time lol. The first image is of both Cha’ls meeting and OG Cha’l being disappointed. The second is of Cha’l beating someone up for saying something disrespectful to Fleur

The last is of a new ship between Takoda and Adora- they’re so sweet! They are like that sweet couple in a cottage. How the two of them met will be shared another time, for now, Adora’s decision to go topside created many wonderful outcomes she had not anticipated. For Takoda, meeting Adora was a breath of fresh air, he didn’t realize how much he really yearned for that companionship Adora brought with her.

I hope you all enjoy these little sketches until the next one!

Thanks for the tag @wkndwlff! 😘

I Hope You Dance

Rooster’s eyes opened slowly, blinking away the sleep as the light pouring in blinded him. He pulled the covers back over his head, hiding away from the sun in hopes it would dim or go away completely so he could open his eyes without the pain that came with being blinded. He closed his eyes, attempting to go back to sleep, feeling exhausted from the day before. He rolled onto his stomach, burying his face in his pillow, allowing the darkness to take hold of him once again. He woke up again a few hours later, feeling more rested than he had before. He rolled on to his back, stretching his arms and legs so much he thought they may just pop off. He stared up at the ceiling for a while. He wondered where Caila was. Probably down in the kitchen cooking or lounging on the couch with the dogs. He smirked, knowing she’d be back upstairs soon for a little morning delight. She could never resist a moment alone with him. He felt the same way. He relished in the feeling of her weight on him. Whether that be her laying on him, kissing his chest as he rubbed her back, or if she was straddling his waist, grinding down on his hard cock. He groaned at the thought and decided he couldn’t wait for her to come to him. He sat up but abruptly stopped realizing he was in the guest room of his own house. The only thing was, it wasn’t renovated yet and there were posters on the walls, and it was messy with clothes strewn everywhere. He got up and walked out of the room, going into the guest bathroom. He felt like he was hallucinating. He washed his face before drying it, hoping it would bring him back to reality. “Bradley! Are you gonna sleep all day?” His head snapped towards the bathroom door, frozen in place. “Mom?” He muttered to himself.

Undiagnosed

I stood outside of the restaurant, taking deep breaths and trying to keep myself calm. I couldn’t freak out. Not here, not now. I took a deep breath in through my nose before releasing it through my mouth. The cool breeze that blew by helped a little, but then a familiar cologne invaded my senses and I sighed, leaning my head back on the stone wall. “Look, Katie I’m sorry.” I shook my head. “No need to apologize, Jake. They’re orders, you can’t really say no.” I said, rolling my head to the side and looking at him. He sighed, leaning on the building next to me. A flutter set loose in my stomach as he stared into my eyes. A quiet gasp escaped me as his hand came up, cradling the left side of my face. His eyes were searching mine for something, what I didn’t know. “Are you gonna be okay, darlin’?” He asked and I bit my lip. “Truth?” He nodded as his thumb grazed my cheek. “Truth.” He said. “I really don’t know if I’m gonna be okay, Jake.”

Imperial

I was released after twenty days. I was healing faster than expected so I was sent back to the palace. I would have to stay in the infirmary and a burn doctor would visit daily to take care of me. But I was released to do light work. Basically, sit at my desk for a few hours each day and do work. “They let you out? That’s great.” Bradley said over the phone. I was currently on a train, headed back to the Royal City. It hurt to lean back so I took to standing. “Yeah, my only problem is it still hurts for my back to touch anything so I will have to stand for the rest of this train ride. Or at least lean forward in my seat. But that tugs on my skin and hurts too.” I sighed. I kicked off my shoes a while ago, opting to go barefoot throughout the train car so my feet wouldn’t tire as quickly. “I’m sorry, baby. I wish this never happened.” I nodded and leaned forward onto the bar. “Me too. But we can’t change the past, only learn from it.” It went quiet on his end, which worried me. “Yeah, can’t change the past.” He muttered. My hand drifted to my collar bones, feeling the pearl necklace he gifted me. “Princess.” Marcus said and I looked at him. He tapped his watch, telling me we were close. “Almost home. So, that means I must get ready to face the crowd.”

OFMD Party Drabble #6

Prompt: Man vs. Self

Yes I’m still doing this series WHO CAN STOP ME MUHAHAHA anyway here’s Part One and Two.

Edward was his own worst enemy and after thirty years of putting up with the fucker’s nonsense, Izzy was this close to strangling him.

Of course, he’d been saying that for thirty years, so.

Just text him you absolute, utterly deranged sHITSTAIN

Izzy’s fingers flew across the keyboard of his phone. To his left a woman with a baby snuck a look at his ill-tempered texting, whatever expression he’d contorted his face into, and determinedly stood to find another seat. Izzy pressed ‘send’ with the vicious satisfaction of a warrior descending with his sword.

The reply was immediate:

thats not a nice way to talk to your boyfriend :(

YOU’RE NOT GONNA HAVE A FUCKING BOYFRIEND ANYMORE IF YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO ME, EDWARD

you dont mean that 😭😭😭 i just dont know what to say!!! i mean shit Iz he’s a fancy-pants museum curator and i’m slinging burgers all day. how the fuck do i even start that conversation? ‘hi hello i know Iz and he says youre cute wanna go on a fucking date with us’?????

Izzy resisted the urge to lean forward and bash his head against the pole. He didn’t even know where to begin with that. The fact that Edward had never lacked words in his entire, chatty life? That his job was far from just ‘slinging burgers,’ given that Blackbeard’s Bar & Grill was a multi-award winning restaurant with a Food Network spot and a legion of devoted customers? That Izzy had not once, ever, said that Bonnet was cute?

The fact that ‘disgustingly adorable’ might have been a better descriptor was entirely beside the point.

Originally, Izzy had intended to text Bonnet himself, act as the bridge between him and Edward’s rather... unique personality — though he suspected that these two were weird enough that they’d get along like a house on fire. He’d cooled his heels for a day after that absurd miscommunication, got wrapped up in running the restaurant, and then by the time the weekend had rolled around, Edward had decided that he wanted to reach out himself. Great! Less work for Izzy to do.

Except then the idiot had decided he was too chicken to pull it off, leaving them in a weird fucking limbo where Izzy vaguely feared for his life. That Lucius boy might just have been insane enough to follow through on his threats and that was not the kind of Wednesday morning Izzy was looking to suffer through.

Yes, he texted back. Say that exactly.

Iz i can’t say that!!

Sure you can. Put me out of my misery, Edward.

so mean. meanest. meanie. mean-pants :( :( :(

Actually, he should just screenshot all this and send it to Bonnet. Either he’d would fall hopelessly in love with the man like, god help him, Izzy had, or he’d run for the proverbial hills. At this point either option sounded wonderful.

Fuck, but he needed more coffee.

Izzy was just considering whether it was worth getting off a stop earlier and walking the rest of the way to work so he could stop by Ivan’s cafe when a thread of conversation — previously indistinguishable from the rest of the tube’s background noise — hit him like a fucking freight train.

“Hasn’t changed a bit! Wee Baby Bonnet looks like he’s ready to piss his pants...”

Izzy shut his eyes. Surely the world wasn’t populated by acquaintances of Stede Fucking Bonnet, all of whom ended up on his morning route? That was insane. Incomprehensibly annoying. Izzy hadn’t exactly been a saint throughout his life, but did he really deserve this?

Then again, how many people in the city had a predominantly French surname that, depending on its origin, might just derive from a synonym of ‘attractive’?

Sometimes he fucking hated his linguistics degree.

The man who’d spoken sat across from Izzy, just a few seats down, and after a double-take he realized that he didn’t need his eyes checked (again), they were just identical twins. Smarmy looking guys if you asked him, but then Izzy couldn’t exactly throw stones when it came to appearances.

He should ignore it. Really he should. Edward was waiting for a response, Ivan’s coffee was calling, and if he got off now there might even by a blueberry muffin in his future.

Ignore it, Izzy told himself firmly. Just leave, take the scenic route for once —

— and then the cries of ‘Baby Bonnet’ grew louder, accompanied by laughter that was too familiar to ignore.

Izzy closed his eyes and cursed. You sentimental twat.

“Hey.”

The twins looked up, the mirth dying in the face of Izzy’s expression and — while not towering figure — definitely threatening as they sat and he stood, leaning menacingly into their space. So he couldn’t discourage a flirty asshole half his age, but he could still intimidate some identical goons. Good to know.

“Lemme see,” Izzy said and snatched the phone before either could protest. Sure enough, there was Stede, those curls and a bright blue suit — good god with teal lapels? — absolutely unmistakable, even as whoever was filming shook with laughter of their own. It looked like Stede was getting reamed out by some visitor, his hands held up in awkward surrender, protests inaudible against the woman’s yelling. The video ended when she threw whatever was in her takeaway cup across Stede’s shirt. He stumbled back, landing on his ass — hands flying up towards his eyes. Whatever it was had been hot.

What a waste of a good drink. Thank god the suit was ruined.

Izzy wanted to bash that woman’s head in.

He kept his expression neutral as he handed the phone back, the twins sharing wary glances.

“You know that idiot?” Izzy asked — and the smiles bloomed again, identical.

That was all he needed.

“Oh yeah,” the one on the left said, digging himself a deeper hole. “Baby Bonnet was in prep with us. Total fucking pushover.”

“Thought he’d be dead by now,” the one on the right picked up. “Or committed somewhere. Ran him off of Facebook a few years ago, he dropped off the map, but then this gem popped up on Reddit — ”

“I’m sorry,” Izzy interrupted. He removed his jacket and laid it carefully over a nearby seat. The black shirt underneath was rolled to the elbows.

“Sorry?” they echoed.

“Not you,” Izzy sneered. He quickly caught the gaze of everyone else in the car, their attention drawn to the growing electricity in the air. The woman with the baby sighed and got up to leave. Izzy inclined his head at her retreating back.

Then he slammed his fist into the first twin’s nose.

They even went down the same, all bloody spurts and pathetic whimpers. Izzy might not have been as young as he once was, but it would take a lot more than these weak fucks to provide a challenge. Back-alley brawls and two decades of fencing had given him the reflexes of a cat and Izzy’s blood sang at the whoop of approval a few seats down. That’s why he was doing this. It was good to expend the energy on occasion.

It had absolutely nothing to do with Bonnet’s stricken expression in the vid.

When he was done and the twins had fled, with very pretty pictures painted for them about what would happen if the cops got involved, Izzy dabbed his knuckles with an old napkin and rearranged his clothes. The dude who’d whooped finished recording — because everyone recorded everything nowadays, the fucking degenerates — and shot him a small, hesitant smile. Izzy whistled him over.

“Send that to me,” he said, rattling off his number.

Izzy had long since passed his stop, but that was okay. If he was going to be late, might as well be late with a halfway decent breakfast. As he re-planned his route, Izzy attached the vid for Edward, easily imaging the glee on his face when he saw it.

“Had worse mornings,” Izzy acknowledged, pulling up his texts.

Stop being a self-sabotaging twat, you TWAT. Send this to Bonnet with my regards. If we can fight for him, we can sure as fuck invite him to dinner.

[papirouge]

Honestly people’s hatred need to be directed to the rich “muslims” sitting in their mansions in western countries or in places like Saudi and Qatar and Iran that FUND Hamas. Muslims like them couldn’t care any less for the lives in palestine. They don’t care for it and couldn’t care if everyone in palestine is wiped out. I bet you anything that they’re laughing at the videos and celebrating. This is a false religion that promises reward for raping, enslaving and murdering. It directly goes against God’d word.

I refuse the have any "hate" for anyone because as a Christian, satan is the actual Enemy, but tbh, any single person calling for an escalation of this conflict (either defending the Hamas or "IsrAel hAs tHe rIghT tO dEfEnd tHemsElveD 🤪" folks) are as much reckless and ultimately damage the safety of Palestinians. At least rich Muslims stay quiet and aren't calling for the murder of anyone.

Westerners warmongering from their cozy homes that's not under the threat of being nuked overnight are despicable.

It's pretty obvious the Hamas expected a disproportionate response of Israel to amplify the martyrdom (human sacrifice) of Palestinians and leverage a support from the Muslim world.

Another thing that's despicable is how people are somehow trying to "rank" war crimes to act like either side was better/less worse.

Pro Palestine/hamas acting like because Palestianians suffering made acceptable to kill & abduct israelis

and

Pro israel acting like they had a moral ground because they didn't "decapitated babies" (this sensational rumor has yet to be proven true btw)

exhibit :

People will literally say :"I don't see a problem [cutting water & food supply to CIVILIANS]"...and still think they have moral superiority.... That's how dehumanization works : you find "good reasons" to strip people from their basic human rights. Also I always wanna to ask those people where they even draw the line to start dehumanizing people : when babies are killed? women raped? do they realize those are inherent to wars, and therefore them supporting a war makes them accomplice to those crimes??

But the thing is : there's no good answer. Killing or brutalizing ANYONE of ANY AGE/RACE/GENDER is already a moral failure.

Everytime I see people being like "oh look the Hamas raped and dragged a naked woman behind a car" I'm like: "would it be better if it was man? or if she wasn't naked?" Again : WHERE do they draw the line to start clutching their pearls at a specific murder? do these people think war is just a vibe? that because this stuff isn't shown on a camera, it doesn't happen? (yeah bc like in the screenshot, ppl genuinely think that Tsahal didn't do the same thing/war crimes somehow because it wasn't caught on tape...). Maybe they should think about it because supporting war and murder. There's no justified murder for God - a lot of so called "Christians" should understand that.

That's why I'm so SICK of radfem inserting themselves in the discourse to make it about themselves (again). There's a post floating around with a whitefem stating that Palestinians or Isralis women talking about their struggle is not White feminism, and while I totally agree with her statement, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the usual gaslighting lf "it's WHITE MEN who accuse white women of white feminism!!!" when they don't lol. Many WOC addressed white women gaslighting and aggression and tried to explain that it wasn't misogyny but out of a legit frustration against White women racism, but White women NEVER took them into account and kept focusing on whatever crap WHITE MEN did (look how MAD White women were at the Karen meme, and how they obsessively tried to paint it as a (white) male psy-op when MANY woc entertained this meme). Which is very interesting considering how divested radfem pretend belng from male approval... It's extremely telling how White women will ultimately value White men opinions/perspective more than those WOC. I like how they really be telling on themselves while thinking they're sooo much smarter than anyone else lol

I'll NEVER forget when whitefem call Middle eastern/Arabs radfem calling out the mistreatment of Palestianians women at the border "salafists". It got so bad that one of them slid into my DM-me, a Christian lol- to thank me for defending them because those White women couldn't help but belittle them for being Muslims... But yeah, according to that whitefem it's the fault lf white men WOC have a distrust for their activism 🙃

Wooyoung PM 5 : 07/31/23

(Sooooo...I was looking for the screenshot of the live but....I forgot to take one appearantly?? I swear I took one but it's gone. Anyways...there's no pic and the live is gone now and I'm so sad. But uhhhh this is a live he did with hongjoong so picture hongjoong and wooyoung sitting on the floor together. Hongjoong annoyed and wooyoung smiling wide. You're welcome for the visual)

He came in with his little mischievous look, saying he tricked hongjoong into doing a live with him. Then hongjoong came in saying that wooyoung said "Let's do a live" then closed the door and disappeared. Wooyoung justified himself saying that it's cuz there's people talking outside and it could be heard. Hongjoong took a seat next to wooyoung.

Wooyoung said he hadn't eaten yet and hongjoong said he was hungry. They said they had finished a fan sign and then came to a live before going to Osaka.

Wooyoung said that they weren't wearing any make up and were 100% bare faced for the live (there so pretty 🥺)

They spoke about toktoq for a bit. Wooyoung said that it was fun to just be able to pick up the phone and go live when he wanted to and hongjoong said that the app had it own charm. They spoke about the live situation thos, saying that the lives disappear after a couple days and couldn't be saved. Hongjoong said that it broke his heart alittle. (they heard my cries about this. See even they don't like that. Kq do better 🙄🤨)

Anyways, wooyoung said that they should fix that and hongjoong was like "fix what, the app or my broken heart..." (I cried inside)

Hongjoong said he wasn't able to sleep last night and wooyoung said he didn't either. He had been watching Netflix and didn't realize that he watched 3-4 hors of D.P (a kdrama) and hongjoong said that he had watched the kdrama Celebrity.

Hongjoong said that yesterday, he was sitting in bed trying to work on music. He had all his equipment with him but it took him 6 hours to write 2 lines. He said that there were days where it was hard and he felt sad that that was all his brain was capable of and that he felt like a fool (hongjoong baby, ur not a fool 🥺 take ur time love, writing songs is hard) wooyoung asked him why but hongjoong just said that he would just try again. (I wanna give this man a hug and boop on the nose)

Wooyoung laughed about the camera angle and joked how it made them look small so they moved it to the floor instead. (It was like on a platform or something so they had to look up at the screen) they said they couldn't really see the comments either. So they moved the camera closer.

They started discussing their dinner plans and wooyoung said he and yunho made plans to go eat ramen later. Hongjoong said that he was informed of these plans and then said that it would be really late to go eat somewhere. (It would be like 10pm by the time they got to eat.)

They started discussing shoe size and hongjoong said that wooyoung has really big feet (he said 2700 mm 💀💀💀) wooyoung laughed and said that atiny always tease him for it all the time and not to bring it up. Then wooyoung spoke of a selfie trend where u place the phone on the floor and take the picture as if ur gonna stomp on the phone. Hongjoong said he had never heard of that and that he thought people would like that type of pic and wouldn't enjoy it.

Wooyoung said it was a real trend and that many idols have posted pics like. As soon as wooyoung said that hongjoong switched up and was like "oh so it's a good trend!" And laughed.

Wooyoung started tapping the floor loudly and hongjoong said that he was really annoying (in a joking way) wooyoung got offended and hongjoong said he was going to make a movie of wooyoung being annoying. (I would pay big bucks for that movie.)

They started joking about how people should watch what they say and be careful and how they learned their lesson. They said they would tell us in 2 months 🧍🏻 (apparently mama Kim kinda knows what's up tho 👀)

They started wrapping up the live a little saying that they had to go soon wooyoung stood up and did a little stomp cuz he said he looked like giant. They both stood with the phone on the floor and wooyoung said they should to the pose. So they did 🤩 (felt like they were gonna step on me and I enjoyed it) hongjoong felt bad after tho....(he's just so precious, protecting him at all costs) wooyoung picked up the phone and then said byeeebyeeeee before ending the live

(Kq listen to wooyoung and hongjoong! I need to see this live again please 😭😭😭 imagine if they knew we couldn't capture their capture times?? I'm devastated.)

Baby's First Rebellion (WIP 1)

Wedge's datapad pinged. The second he recognized the tone, his stomach dropped. 

He activated the device's screen, read the message from Iella, and read it again. 

Wedge clenched his first around the datapad, barely noticing and absolutely not caring for the cracks appearing on the screen. 

For a second, he hated everything. He hated the government that he had already spent so much of his life fighting for, and that rewarded him for decades of distinguished service by dragging him out of retirement and taking him prisoner. He hated Jacen Solo and everything he had done. He hated the government of his homeworld, that had kicked him out because he wanted to fight their war the right way. 

"Daddy?" 

He hated everything that would put his daughter in this much pain. 

With an effort, Wedge calmed himself, and looked into Syal's eyes.

"You saw it too?" There was no sense dodging the subject. 

Without another word, Syal held up her own datapad. The screen displayed only a single image: A screenshot from an official Galactic Alliance holonews broadcast, proclaiming Syal Antilles, former Captain in the Alliance Starfighter Corps, to be wanted for treason committed at the Battle of Centerpoint Station. 

"I know what I did back there," Syal said, and it didn't take the experience of a parent to notice her barely suppressed tears. "I shot and killed a loyal Alliance pilot. But I hoped…" 

Wedge dropped his datapad and hugged his daughter with all the strength he had to give her. 

"I guess I hoped they wouldn't notice or something," Syal said, her devastated voice carrying an undertone that made clear that she had just realized how little sense that actually made. 

"It's okay," Wedge told her. "You can let it out, Syal. I know you need it."

At this, his daughter's tears began to flow. Wedge lost track of time as they stood there, his daughter in his arms, catharsis dripping from the corners of her eyes as he hadn't seen in… kriff, he didn't have any idea how many years. There were a handful of Jedi within earshot, mostly performing last-minute upkeep on their StealthXs before they left Endor for good, but none appeared bothered by the pilots' display of emotion. 

"I hoped I could still do my duty," Syal said softly, once the tears ran out.

Wedge took a second to compose his response. It had never been this apparent how new his kids were to this. Syal had lived her entire adult life and most of her adolescent years under the same government. Before that had been the Yuuzhan Vong War, where the moral issues had essentially boiled down to "kill or be killed." Since she was old enough to decide such things for herself, Syal had wanted to fly in the cockpit of a Galactic Alliance starfighter. 

Something Iella had referred to in her message came to mind.

"You know what else they said in that broadcast?" 

Syal shook her head. 

"They said by committing treason, you're following in your father's footsteps." 

For the first time in this conversation, a spark of light appeared in Syal's eyes. 

"Well," she said, her tone reflecting that light, "I guess they're right about that."

"Of course." Wedge gave a nostalgic smile, which quickly hardened as he considered his next words. 

"You're too young to remember what the galaxy was like under Palpatine," Wedge said firmly, "but take it from your old man: that's what Jacen Solo is turning the Alliance into."

"Uncle Tycho said the same thing," Syal recalled. She took a series of deep breaths.

LOG 4

Just coming back from Pine Starr’s den, and I think it will take a while for me to stop shaking.

In the admitted goal to know more about this little fucker’s den and why he basically never moved from it except to go to the Starr’s garden (and recently to the Appleby’s: I saw him frolicking with their cat Shawnty the other day), I went to his location around midnight.

Luckily, I didn’t make much noise. And the wind was blowing in my direction. Otherwise, when I stumbled upon a large clearing, with half a dozen bushes organized around a pile of rocks, and all... so many cats... all of them asleep in those bushes - seemingly by age groups, too! - except for one, back on me, staring at a gorse tunnel... If I were mad enough to believe those cats as smart as humans, I’d say it was a guard, dutifully looking out for invaders.

Anyway according to my GPS tracker, Pine Starr was in a den under all those big rocks. I thought it would be way too dangerous (not even mentionning data disrupting) to risk being seen or senced by those cats so I came back home and here I am writing my thing. Time to check the cameras, I didn’t have the time before I went.

*

Oh shit that was violent. I’m even more glad I didn’t wake any of Pine Starr’s friends. By the way that’s way too long to write let’s call him Pinestar it will be way more fluid to the hand.

Anyway one of the cams near the river has caught something in infrared at night - maybe they are nocturnal actually? - and boy was it something!

So to give you an idea - why do I even adress my notebook as “you” smh - we’ve got a small group of big, bulky, thick-furred cats, five of them, crossing the river at the beginning of the night. They are swimming quite well. The leader of the... pack (?) is a grey one. I’m pretty sure I already saw him, probably that one time when I erupted on all of those cats in Druid’s Hollow. They disappear out of the cam’s field. Two hours later they come back running, with two kittens in their jaws. Two of them cross the river and run away, the other three turn back to fight against five other cats I’ve never seen. The leader of this group? A big light-brown tabby - although it is difficult to say with the infrared filter and all, but this is top notch material baby and it says the little guy was brown.

So anyway the brown leader whacks the grey one on the head so hard it stuns him, and then when unstunned, the grey one just... drags the brown one in the river and bloody pushes him down until he drowns! At some point someone from the grey’s own group had to intervene, and boy was it weird to see. The brown came home standing on his own or almost so I assume he’s not too badly hurt.

Anyway I’ve got screenshots of all the ten guys plus the two kittens, I’m going to give them names but also use my facial recognition algorithm to profile them.

H41L-5T4R, that’s the name of that one riverside cam. Guess it’s time for Grey Leader to become Hail Star. Funny how Pine and him have seemingly the same “family name”, so to say.

As for the others... I was going to name Brown Leader Reed (for the reeds on the river) Drowner or something but then I realized he looked a lot like the kittens and renamed him Reed Feather. Wait no father. Oh well Reed Feather is kinda cute too. Let’s go with that.

Anyway I wonder what’s the deal with the kittens. Were they kidnapped? Why would wildcats kidnapp kittens?

Many questions for another day I guess.

Yesterday, I finally deleted my Twitter account after yet another data leak. Boss Baby's decisions after acquiring this platform made me create this blog and try to move here in the first place, so leaks were only a cherry on top.

My girlfriend helped me with moving to tumblr and the way she talked about it made me think about my social media presence in general. Of course, most users here don't need an explanation as to why tumblr is better and all that, but its merits are what exactly made think about myself.

I realized that I always posted for myself first and foremost. I had a blogspot about handheld consoles, I wrote non-profit reviews for my relative's gaming website, I even started posting screenshots on Steam with some creative descriptions and all that.

Had a short relationship with instagram, but people using it, even my close family, quickly made me hate it for how artificial the world there seems to be. If I didn't spend enough time personalizing my experience, it probably takes too long for my liking.

I got a little bit older, 18 to be exact, when I started to look through twitter. Following my favorite indie game developers and gimmick accounts - had a good time with it. The problem started when I started posting stuff.

Twitter's algorithm is aggressive, to put it lightly. Every time you post something and mention a thing, that thing will flood your feed almost instantly. That's why I would never say anything about, say, a spider I saw. While further personalization improves the experience, you won't ever get rid of things you simply don't want to hear about. On top of that you'll sure get the most liked, commented, quote-tweeted stuff imaginable - it helps with reading news, but it brings a lot of bad takes that sometimes are on the verge of malicious. That way you will never fully control what you see on your feed. Sometimes even filtering keywords doesn't help, mostly with traumas, as there are multiple ways to censor trigger words and twitter users will sure use them all.

A trivial example, but it shows just how annoying your Twitter experience can be. I bought myself a new Xbox console and posted about what I like and don't like about it. While those posts were very occasional, console war zealots from both sides started to appear in my feed on a regular basis - posts that take out all the joy I get from gaming. While I mostly posted about video games without including platforms I played on, I never got rid of console wars.

Even if you never talked about, say, us politics, you'll surely get them on your feed, you'll get notified about voting, you'll get unhinged posts from people who are famous simply for being rich; and you'll see many dramas over stuff that shouldn't matter. That last thing makes you really think about what you post. Even if you won't offend anyone, someone can always shame you for your tastes or you gushing over stuff "too much". Once I even got shamed by a self-proclaimed ✨ Rockstar Games Community member ✨ for playing Red Dead Online, accusing me of "playing it for the sake of keeping it alive".

Back to first paragraphs of this post - a rectification! I didn't start thinking about my social media presence after creating tumblr, but it made me summarize all the little thoughts and irritations that appeared in my head throughout my entire "career". After my gf introduced me to tumblr, it confirmed my belief that I used social media correctly, but, for reasons beyond the subject of this post, most social media websites have irredeemable flaws.

But I post for myself and I will gush over my V from CBP77, my RDO character, Lady from DMC all I want and I'll continue to ramble about stuff no-one will ever take an interest in. It helps me clear my head, it makes me feel fulfilled and I love reading my old posts - it's like a time capsule and, as long as I have the strength for that, I'll continue to fill it with stuff that is important to me!

P.S. As for Twitter's few benefits: I'm using nitter to follow gaming news and game developers without having an account or interacting with toxic people if I'll ever see them. No algorithm there, you have to search for people you already know - no random posts and malicious javascript stuff.

Empty Nest (Super Sim Update)

TFW all your kids are graduated, grown, married, moved out, and making grandbabies.

Yes, that's right -- Stella and Dexter are officially empty-nesters. All three kids aged up to Young Adults, and immediately married their high school sweethearts and got busy (pun intended) starting their own families.

Cade and Luna got engaged and immediately eloped in the backyard. I didn't bother with screenshots of Kinsley and Orange or Tate and Noemi - truthfully, those two were getting engaged and married at the same time, so I couldn't, really.

Each of the kids moved into their spouses' family homes - I was kind enough to give Cade and Kinsley new homes (that do have toilets lol), but since Nina was the only other remaining household member in the Caliente house, they had plenty of room for Tate to move in.

No pictures yet, but Stella's first grandchild is already here - Cade and Luna had a daughter, Sawyer. (Both Kinsley and Noemi are currently pregnant with one baby each, so two more grandchildren will be arriving in the very near future!)

As for Stella, the Scientist career is veeeerrrry slow going. I don't know if it's the fault of the latest game patch or if the Scientist career is just extremely bugged, but I'm having major issues with unresponsiveness and cancelling queued actions, especially while she's at work. I also didn't realize that having a relevant degree for this career wouldn't really be an advantage, other than in pay (which I don't need to worry about - between all the money Stella has made in all her many, many careers, and Dexter's daily salary, the household reserve is at like half a mil and ever growing). I have to complete all the "breakthroughs" for levels 1-8 of the career, just to get promoted to level 9. I did use a re-traiting potion to give Stella the Genius trait, so she could be focused more often, which I think is helping. (I replaced her Cheerful trait with Genius... then she got a self-discovery pop-up asking if she should get Cheerful as a bonus trait. lol)

The glitches are so bad, I finally broke down the purchased the Steel Bladder, Forever Fresh, Forever Full, Needs No One, and Never Weary reward traits, so I could minimize the amount of "things" I needed to tell her to do. Personally, I find it sort of boring/too grind-y when Sims never need to take care of needs, so I wasn't going to purchase those traits. But here we are.

(The only other reward trait I have not purchased - and will not be purchasing - is Fertile. I think we all know how I feel about babies/infants at this point. The fewer the better!)

Anyway, I'm also having her load up on crystals and metals while she's in the Scientist career, in anticipation of the jewelry-making she'll be doing in the (distant) future. Hell, when I get that far, I might just have her go back to the Scientist career temporarily to load up on supplies. lol

I did download Turbodriver's moodlet fix, so maybe that will help solve some of my issues? I'm kind of glad I don't have time during the week to play, so I won't be tempted to (further?) wreck my save file. If nothing official has been said by this coming weekend, I might just have to start a new save of something else to play with for a while.

Story Time: Introduction Part 1: My Husband

So not to overwhelm everyone with a bunch of information, I will be doing my back story in two parts. This is part one. 

For this, we will call me Krahra, technically it's a character name I use in a game I play but it is one that isn't well known by many people. (If by chance you know who it is please please keep quiet about who I am. This is more of a way for me to vent and track things). 

I'm in my 30s. I have been married for the last 13 years to who I thought was the love of my life. He came into our relationship with a boy who is now 18, but is with us for the rest of his life (I promise that will come out too). But together we have two children a boy and a girl (ages are not important). 

In the first 10 years of our marriage, every fight we would have would be him making cheating accusations at me. I have had to quit 3 different jobs because of his problems (whether it be because he won't talk to his work about adjusting his schedule so we can both work, or he didn't like who I was working with). The job he didn't like the people I was working with, I planned on transferring to another location but he didn't even give me a chance to transfer locations. 

Fast forward to the present day, while he doesn't make the accusations as often they still come up. Mind you, I have text proof of these accusations because I keep a file folder of screenshots from the text messages he has sent me. It tends to come if he's sleep-deprived. 

He has cheated emotionally and verbally over text and FB messaging, but nothing physical. I forgave him. This was around 2015. I have proof of this as well, as I never delete anything. He apologized and we made strides to improve our marriage. Accusations still stood. His excuse for the accusations "All my exes cheated on me including my baby mama, so you will just do the same". This is what led me to find out about what I consider cheating. 

The location we live at now is just down the road from where my kids go to school and is only a 20-minute walk to my school and also where I work. Since living here we got into a huge argument over the summer and he got physical with me. The only reason I struck back was in defense of myself. That was the night that while I love him for what he's given to me (my children, as I never thought I would have any), I'm no longer in love with him, but I think I stay with the hopes that it's going to come back. He doesn't realize this as I'm good at hiding my emotions from him and I have had to constantly do that because he can't be bothered if something is bothering me or I need to talk about something. No time is ever the right time. During the week when he has to work, he can't be bothered with things. On the weekend when he's off, he's too tired and needs to be able to sleep. Even when he was off work for an injury (not work related so no paid time off) I busted my ass with my hours (I'm limited to 20 hours a week) and extra things that I get paid through my work for, but it still wasn't good enough for him. He refused to get up with his son (my stepson) when he had to get on the bus at 6:20 in the morning even though I was the one getting up and working. I was still expected to clean the house when I got home, go get our youngest from school when I got home, and make sure everything was done for them, and that they were fed even when I had to work at night due to events going on, I still had to come home and make sure that the kids were fed or they wouldn't get fed at all. 

I'm hoping with this information you can understand why I'm starting this journal. It's more of a way to track things and to vent because I have no one to vent to. I'm not allowed to get my license. I'm not allowed to go out anywhere because he can't function without me around him constantly. It's to the point it starts to affect my job and the events I work for the extra money which by the way because he refuses to work the hours he needs to we have issues paying bills. Not sure what will happen with Christmas either. 

Anyways that's just the introduction about part of my life. Stay tuned for Part Two: The Stepson. In truth, he's the biggest problem out of the two, and I promise you will understand why I say that.
