Desperate To Belong

"Look, it’s just that, I’ve been having these thoughts lately, and.. I’m starting to believe that I should be somewhere else in this world. It’s like I want to be a part of something I just don’t understand. But… I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me." - Terrina

Terrina was the most widely beloved princess of Eve El Doe, often regarded as the most diplomatic, most beautiful and kindest of all. Unfortunately for her, she also faced a difficult teenhood trying to fit in with the other giants, because she was born a Humazon - a Jotuzon hybrid with mixed human blood. Terrina was unable to feel a sense of belonging amongst Jotuzons, and was more interested in learning about humans. Her fellow giants would bully her over her unusual obsessions, causing her to hide her secret humanity from the rest of Eve El Doe.

Rayna, Terri's twin, was also born as a Humazon, but she was more on the Jotuzon side of the spectrum, with very little regard for the humans. She had no time to think about these beings, and was more focused on being a warrior for her people. While Terrina was the popular twin of the duo, she sheltered herself from the world and preferred to live in her own studies of humanity with her only friend, Meg. Whenever Rayna wasn't there to protect her twin, Meg was the only one who understood Terri and accepted her interests. After turning 17, Terrina develops a teenage existential crisis and contemplates on whether she should give up her royal responsibilities to find her true purpose. She desperately fled to the human world.

When she first came to Earth, she was finally old enough to visit the human world all by herself. She was desperate to find a place where she can finally feel a sense of joy and belonging, and since she was half-human, it didn't matter if she was a giant compared to there, she would feel much safer and happier here. But poor Terri, the humans are also terrified of the unknown, the same way Jotuzons are intolerant towards humans. Luckily, one human, Bailey Wilson, was one human who was deeply curious to learn about Terri. Nearly a year later, Bailey and Terrina became an inseparable couple, and Terrina herself became the beloved superstar of the town of Westshore.

Everyone has their eyes on Terri, she's the pride and joy of the town. But the world where she came from is still a disaster, she's hiding her half-human heritage, hoping that everyone would forget, but after learning that Bailey Wilson was also secretly a Jotuzon who was hiding in human form, and Meg was also a half-human hybrid developing her hybrid powers, Terrina came to the realization that she is not the only Humazon in the universe, and she's beginning to take more pride in her hybrid nature to give voice to the other Humazons on Eve El Doe who are hiding.

Introduction

A Compilation of 100 Favorite Songs By Rayna Hugo

These songs are either hits for a reason, or they hit for a reason:

As a compilation of Rayna’s top 100, the music within this playlist are pieces of art that accomplish different successes amongst

complex lyricism/ poetry

harmonic and supporting vocals

danceable drama

Add theatrics (landing on the spectrum of making a place more beautiful or transporting you somewhere that actually is)

Each piece has re-listenability, meaning over the time spent after my discovery of them, I have watched myself share these experiences with those that have inspired me to my core. Because of this fact, many songs will appear familiar in relation to how long I have known you, how much time I spent with you, and the consideration that some tunes might not even exist in this playlist if it weren’t for our paths crossing. On the other end, some songs are uniquely mine and CLAIMED. My criteria for a song’s inclusion answered “no” to the questions: 1.) Does anybody love this song more than me? (no)

2.) Will the people I share this with disagree of its greatness even if someone argues yes for question one? (no)

Thus, constructed this idea of 100. Often the top 100 implies a quantitative popularity, but this is not the case here. If these were the only songs I were limited to experience for the rest of my life, there are many versions and subdivisions of this collection that could establish a common thread of construction, genre, and themes, while maintaining individual integrity. In other words, I could learn from them infinitely. The process of this was quite difficult! It required me to strip down sonic aesthetics to origin stories- maybe I like this song because I loved this song. Which is better? A new age development or a song before that mastered it better? Truthfully, the underrepresentation of more contemporary influences contribute to a legacy i haven’t made my mind up on yet. My music taste isn’t limited to this playlist of course. You will notice that in other playlists I have made. If I had considered the people who might view this playlist, maybe It would be different, but i believe this playlist performs objectively as “very Rayna”. It was important for me to have songs that did not just sound good, but were great. The songs needed to be life-changing rather than just enjoyable or easy to listen to.

Why this song after that song? :

The order of these songs is INTENTIONAL. I will elaborate on this in a separate note that will suggest trivia, notable moments, honorable mentions, and reason for inclusion for EACH song as an extra resource if any of the songs puzzle or intrigue you.

A note for my friends and family:

I want to thank you for being a part of my life. Be it a speedy car ride no matter the weather, a slow one cruising through neighborhoods with smoke slipping through the cracks of a window, a park bench and a small iPhone speaker, one ear phone shared intimately in a public space, a steamy kitchen with someone’s mom whipping up something good, a dorm room jam session, an epic live concert, a birthday party, an airplane flight, an all-nighter work flow, a night’s sleep, or the sound echoing out of my bathroom shower, music is for all of us. I believe it is the most profound social experience we can have. It unites strangers, teaches us things, and puts our emotions into existence in order for us to move forward. Music accomplishes the same things you accomplish for me. By keeping me moving. Maybe some songs sound skippable to you, but I encourage you to give them a chance. They are there for a reason!

Top 5 favourite born in game sims

Since my earlier top5 list already included some of my favorite in-game born sims from hoods that I miss, here I will only list sims in my current hood, Whitewave!

1. Donna Limestone

Donna is the middle child of the three daughters of Limestone 2nd generation. She’s already an elder, but I wanted to post an older pic! I had trouble finding a suitable spouse for her, and once she eventually did marry it ended up in divorce real soon. But to be honest, I always had trouble imagining Donna in a relationship altogether, and recently I have come to the conclusion that she is asexual. I grew to love Donna a lot because of this - because she seemed to grow a character of her own without me interfering much, and I always interfere with my sims’ lives. It almost felt like it wasn’t my place to tell her that she should marry someone!

2. Rayna Limestone

Rayna is my favorite Limestone 3rd gen sim, but I have to admit it is mostly because of her looks! She is so pretty! Back when she was born I had completely forgotten that I had taken out the multi-PT mod (for reasons I can’t remember), and it took me a some 20 times of quitting-to-neighborhood-without-saving in order to not get the maxis alien huge eyes and noselesness. Which means she looks exactly like her mother, Bea. But it also means that her kids will also be subject to inheriting the maxis genes, and tbh I’m not really looking forward to it.

3. Lemon Farwood

Lemon grew on me! I usually have sims’ career tracks and possible future spouses decided by the time sims start college, but I had some serious trouble coming up with any plans for Lemon. So, I decided to go with that - I let her be undecided. She was all about having fun, hanging with friends and with no goals in her mind. Now let me say, that this is very unusual for me; Every sim I have always has a plan laid out before them. At first I didn’t really care for Lemon, but once I gave her permission to be worry-free (or gave myself permission to not stress about not having a plan for her), she quickly became my favorite!

4. Johnny Mills

So y’all know how much I loved Greta and... It would have felt very wrong to make this list without adding a child of hers on this list. Johnny still has his life ahead of him (as I have no proper plans for him yet and he’s already in college) but I really grew to like him. I love the dynamics that is the Abandoned Factory commune, and Johnny along with his best friend Milo are a very big part of that.

5. Koral Rogan

Like Rayna, Koral is also Limestone 3rd gen! They actually represent the far ends of the age spectrum; Rayna is the oldest of the generation, while Koral is the youngest. All the 2nd gen girls inherited their father’s looks, and like Rayna, Koral also looks remarkably like her grandfather. It’s the eyes! I have high expectations for Koral and I can’t wait for her to grow up!

Thank you sm for asking! ♥

First Sentence Writing Game

Ooooooh thanks for the tag @mel-loves-all and @sobeautifullyobsessed

The Rules: write the first sentence of the last ten stories you’ve written and look for patterns. Then tag some friends.

Oh Christ.

His Little Miracles ( Unnamed Lovers Series)-- The entire walk to the Grotto felt like torture, a betrayal to his less than Christian beliefs, and every step he walked, passing by shops and stores bearing souvenirs of the miracle that was attributed to the sleepy little French village, his stomach felt as if it would bottom out.

Carelessly Close (Original novel, heading for publication)--

Today had been a long day. Yesterday had been a long day. That day after that had been a long day.

Stranger Than Kindness (Sherlolly)- She took him in her body and moaned his name, her legs wrapped his waist as he surged inside her, her fingers tangling in his black curls as he buried his face in his throat. “Molly,” he moaned her name, as he pushed himself harder and harder inside her, his breath desperate as if he would die without her.

Give Me Your Scars (Sherlolly)- Sherlock Holmes and Molly Hooper stood next to each other, hip to hip, shoulder to shoulder though neither noticed how close they stood, neither noticed the way their bodies were canted towards each other, neither noticed their very breaths and heartbeats were synchronized.

Queen Ink (Random, Unpublished)- His smile on stage was brilliant, laughing his absolute joy as the song ended in a fusion of loud guitar, bass, and an explosive drum solo that ended when Benedict pumped his fist down in the universal gesture to end the song.

[Untitled] Izzy and Patrick were nestled together on her velvet, burgundy sofa under the blue throw. The TV was on, humming and talking to itself, casting it’s shifting light spectrum and UV rays across the room at the couple as they dozed.

Awakenings (Unnamed Lovers Series) She woke up before him.She always did, on her stomach and facing away from him, their legs entangled together, her entire soul still quivering from the night before, her core shivering as if it remembered him.

Couldn’t Hide From the Thunder- Vicki watched her friend light up another cigarette as they sat by side behind the theater, enjoying the rare San Francisco sun as Evie blew plumes of gray smoke into the other.

So Far From Me (Sherlolly WII AU)- She couldn’t not follow him. She couldn’t leave him be. She couldn’t let herself exist in a world where he was lying dead in a ditch somewhere and her heart continued to beat.

Spells and Wild Abandoned Stars (Doctor Strange) When the lecture was over, Dr. Rayna Malick smiled at her colleagues, nodding her thanks at their applause as she gathered her notes from the lectern, her eyes easily finding him.

Pattern-- I don’t see one? Do you guys?

Tagging anyone who wants to participate xx

Xylem and Manchester City Football Group Partner in “Cityzens Giving” For Second Annual Safe Water Project

Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging water issues, is partnering with the Cityzens Giving annual charitable campaign launched today, a Manchester City Football Club global community initiative, which helps young leaders around the world change lives through the power of football.

Now in its’ sixth year, Cityzens Giving sees City Football Group and its partners once again donating £400,000 to six community football projects run by young leaders in cities around the world.

Over the course of the six-week campaign, fans will hear first-hand from the young leaders in each of the six projects and will be asked to vote for the one that resonates most with them. The more votes a project gets, the greater the funding it will receive.

Last year, the safe water project in Bangalore, supported by Xylem, received the most votes, and received the largest grant of the £400,000 in funding.

As a partner of Manchester City, Xylem is proud to be supporting a new safe water project in Cape Coast, Ghana, as one of the six initiatives in the campaign. The project, “Kicking for Change,” will combine football, safe water education and equipment to provide clean water access to schools and communities to help prevent waterborne illnesses and keep children in school.

While Ghana has made large strides in reducing poverty through economic growth, more than 60% of the population still lacks access to safe drinking water, leaving them vulnerable to water-related illness and disease. Children in Ghana, girls especially, often have to walk extremely long distances to collect water, making them late for school, or absent altogether due to illness from waterborne diseases.

This project will use football to teach children about life-saving water and sanitation education, keeping them healthy and in school, and will be combined with a new clean water source in the community. This project is delivered in partnership with Play Soccer Ghana, and is generously supported by Xylem.

“Xylem is committed to raising awareness of global water challenges and our partnership with Cityzens Giving for this project will provide a powerful opportunity to share in a community commitment to solving water” said Joseph Vesey, Xylem Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. “We look forward to watching the votes and to moving forward on a great initiative for the youth of Cape Coast, Ghana, to help advance education for young girls, water security and work towards a more sustainable future.”

Ferran Soriano, Chief Executive of City Football Group, said:

“At City Football Group we are incredibly proud of Cityzens Giving. Over the past five years the campaign has gone from strength to strength and we are passionate about letting our fans choose from projects around the world and empowering our Young Leaders to inspire their local communities.

“The sixth year of the Cityzens Giving campaign sees more young people than ever before connecting with their communities and using football to find solutions to the social issues they are facing. More than 10,000 young people around the world are now engaged each year through our Cityzens Giving projects. Our Cityzens decide where the effort and the money go, making a positive difference in the world through the power of football.”

Starting today, fans from across the City Football Group network can vote for their preferred cause at: mancity.com/cityzensgiving.

Shades

Many stories exist about soulmates. A string of fate that ties two people together, a sudden spark when your eyes meet, or even a stone found by chance that glows when it meets its match. They all talk about people destined to be together since the beginning of time, a perfect romance. We are all supposed to have a soulmate, one that we all know we’ve met when something in us changes. None of us know what will change. The change is different for each couple. Most of the time it’s a tattoo that appears, or even a sudden change in hair or eye color.

I never truly knew what color was. At least, not until the day I met the one I would love for the rest of my life. We met in my favorite coffee shop. I bought coffee there almost every week, often enough that even the staff got to know me. When I stood up to get, yet another refill, a stranger bumped into me. I looked up to apologize, only to meet his eyes. I only ever saw things in shades of gray, but when I looked at him I could only focus on the pretty hazel of his eyes. Those eyes widened when they finally saw the blue of mine. We both smiled and I spoke, “I’m Rayna.”

“Asher,” he replied. We both took another comfortable moment to look each other over. “Can I interest you in another coffee?”

“Only if you agree to dinner at my place this Friday,” I teased.

“Deal”

Within that first date, I could already see why he was my match. He was funnier than I ever was, but still laughed at the stupid jokes I made. He said I read faster and more than he ever dreamed, but still favored almost the exact same genres and series that I did. We both were absolute geeks with an unhealthy book, game, and movie obsession. I hated bugs, he hated snakes. We enjoyed the idea of pets with only a slight preference for cats. We had so much in common. By the end of the date I had a crush on Asher. An exchange of phone numbers, addresses, and the gentle press of his lips on the back of my hand, with promises of being on time on Friday, guaranteed our second date.

He was late for dinner. I had planned for a half an hour delay so dinner had just finished by the time he showed. We felt the need to talk and find out more about each other. He hated to cook for himself, claiming he could burn water, but could make it look as if his flat came right out of a home magazine. I hated cleaning, never being able to bring myself to do the necessary deep cleaning my apartment probably needed, yet I could cook like a master chef. I was handy with tools and he had a scary green thumb. I planned for everything and had contingency plans for several factors after that. He flew by the seat of his pants. We both had a bit of a klutzy streak. Our habits complimented each other. By the end of the second date, I was falling hard.

We talked fairly frequently through our phones for the next few weeks. On the Saturday of the third week, he showed up at my house with a basket and a blanket. We had a picnic in the park for our third date. We sat under an Oak and jested about getting hit with an acorn by an unfriendly squirrel.

“I thought a ‘Chicken Little’ the ‘sky is falling’ vibe would help keep the mood intact for us,” Asher joked. “It has nothing to do with your appreciation for the color of oak leaves in early Autumn.” He grinned like an idiot, “On the more romantic side I did actually bring lunch to eat and a movie soundtrack to play for mood music.”

“I hope you didn’t make the lunch,” I snickered lightly, “I don’t feel like drinking burnt water.”

“I feel no need to kill my soulmate only a few weeks after meeting her,” he states with a half smirk, “I’m saving that for my future mother-in-law, in case she is as demonic as the jokes imply. The food we shall partake of today is from the finest Grocer’s, premade deli section. This included a bag of chips and processed air, as well as water bottles I stole from your fridge while you weren’t looking.”

I laughed lightly at his humor and dug through the basket. He brought around 8 different sandwich types to make sure I had one I liked. We ate, we laughed, we talked, and we kissed under that tree in the park. He remembered how much I liked cliché ideas. We carved our initials in the tree, and painted all of the colors we allowed the other to see in the heart around them. By that third date, I was in love with him.

Dates four and five in the following months solidified our relationship. On the sixth date, he asked me to marry him. We were soulmates, and we absolutely adored that fact. Not every pair had a happy ending. Not everyone finds their soulmate early in life, if ever. I’m glad we got the chance to be together.

We got married the next fall, a small wedding, inviting only family and close friends. Red and black set us apart from the garden we got married in. the reception was a grand affair, in a nearby hall. We catered way too much food. The cake was a big, yellow cake, colored orange with leaves all over it. We danced and laughed the night away. Around midnight Asher tapped me on the shoulder and flicked his eyes with a tilt of his head towards the door. We slipped off on our own to enjoy our first night as husband and wife.

We spent a week in Jamaica. Swimming, drinking, playing badminton, reading, touring, and, well, generally enjoying the married life. It passed way too quickly for both our tastes. We eventually had to go home. We had to do our jobs, and get back to my, now our, temporary apartment.

We only lived there less than a year before we found a house to put a down payment on. Repainting it was the most fun, especially the baby’s room. Three of the walls were a dusky orange-yellow. Asher painted a mural of our Oak tree on the fourth wall. Little acorns decorated the borders of the room, and an occasional leaf swirled across a wall. The rest of the rooms were each a different color, all on the paler side of the spectrum. Our house was by no means large, but it was ours, and it was breathtaking.

Seven months later, I found myself in excruciating pain and yelling at Asher. “You absolute Jerk! This is your fault!”

“That’s it Honey, just take it all out on me,” he coached calmly, “Just don’t forget to breathe.”

“As soon as I get her out of me, I’m going to castrate you!”

“No more kids. Gotcha.”

After nearly three hours of me screaming, and nearly breaking my husband’s hand, our little girl was born. The bleeding didn’t stop like it should have, I continued to bleed, and the sounds of the world grew dimmer. The last clear thing I saw, was a terrified Asher being shoved out of the room, lips shouting what I assumed was my name. I blacked out. When I next surfaced, the room was spinning, the sounds of my doctor and nurses flying in a frantic blur of activity. I felt unconsciousness reaching towards me for the second time.

“We’re losing her,” spoke the dim voice of the doctor. I found it increasingly difficult to keep my eyes open.

“Asher,” I whispered weakly. One, two. One, two. There were shouts and a loud whining noise.

~~~~~~

I paced frantically outside her room. “Come on Ray.” The hallway was almost silent in comparison to the room she was in. I leaned against one of the walls and stared at the colorful hospital posters. The happy family on the picture in the middle quickly became my favorite. The man’s proud eyes, the loving look of the woman, and the happy baby reaching to her parents in the middle. That would be our family soon.

I looked at the face of the mother, “That’ll be my Ray.” As I stared, suddenly the picture started to almost melt away, as if it was a crayon set in front of a heater. My eyes widened in alarm, my heart skipped a beat in fear. Everything was turning gray. The same shade everything was before I met…

“No,” I spoke in a hushed tone. The colors Rayna had showed me were disappearing again. That’s when it hit me, and my heart started to ache. I moved back to the door of her room. As soon as I stood in front of it, the door began to open. I didn’t hesitate to rush in, shoving the nurse out of the way.

“Rayna!” I shouted. She looked almost exactly like she did when I was forced out of the room, only, so much paler. “No,” I choked out. I felt tears stinging my eyes, as I came near her.

“We couldn’t save her,” spoke the doctor from behind me, “I’m sorry for your loss.”

I ran a hand through her hair; I caressed her cheek. She was getting cold. A few tears escaped my eyes as I pressed my forehead to hers. I barely noticed most of the staff leave. I wasn’t sobbing, but my throat felt clogged, and my chest felt ready to explode with all of the emotion it contained.

“Sir, take some time to grieve,” said the remaining Nurse, “It can be difficult to lose someone this suddenly. We’ll take her down to the morgue when you’re done. Remember, you have a daughter that will need her father now more than ever.” I stroked my wife’s face once more and pressed a gentle, and final, goodbye kiss to her forehead. Leaving her there was one of the hardest things I have ever done.

I took my daughter home two days later. A few days after that was Rayna’s funeral. It passed by in a blur of black, condolences, flowers, tears, and finally dirt. She was gone, dead and buried. The second hardest decision I ever had to make came after that.

My daughter had no mother, I would have to raise her on my own. I debated giving her up. She lay in her crib, whining softly. I had fed her earlier, I tried changing her, and still the whining didn’t stop.

“What do you need?” I asked the infant uselessly. The whining turned quickly to near wailing.

“I’m not any good at this, what do you want?” My voice escalated in volume. The wailing continued with extra tears.

“She’s not here, I’m useless, she can’t take care of you, she’s gone you stupid kid! She’s dead and she’s never coming back!” I screamed, “It’s all because of you!” I collapsed and started crying with her. My grief had finally caught up with me. “She’s gone.” After a long while, I finally calmed down enough to process what I had done. Standing up, I reached down to stroke my daughter’s cheek. Her wailing quieted back to whimpers.

“What am I doing Ray?” I asked of my missing half. “What’s wrong witj me? I’m yelling at and blaming our daughter for your death. God, I wish you were here. You were so much better with kids than me.” As if in answer, our daughter opened her tearful eyes. I froze in shock, jaw falling slack. Even if I couldn’t see anything else, I could see our daughter had her mother’s eyes, and I could see their beautiful blue hue.

“Ray,” I whispered. I was an idiot. It just took a miracle to make me see that. I quickly reached down and picked our daughter up into my arms.

“I’m so sorry sweetheart,” I apologized as I pressed my lips to her little head. “I may not be the best father, but I am yours. It’s not your fault your mother died. She gave me you, you’re my responsibility, and I will take care of you. I loved your mother, and I will continue to love you. She may not be here, but I am, and I plan on staying as long as you need me.” I threw the adoption pamphlet away, and slept on the couch with our daughter in my arms.

The years were tough without Rayna, but I managed. The most difficult part was answering our daughter’s questions. I answered most, as they came.

“Daddy, where’s Mommy?”

Although, some. . .

“Daddy, why do you cry the week after my birthday?”

“Daddy, why can’t you see colors?”

I just couldn't. I missed Rayna every year, the pain never really went away. I raised our little girl as best I could. I watched her grow up. She looked a lot like me, but was practically a mini version of her mother. I stuck with her through thick and thin, until she didn’t need me anymore. She’s grown, she found her soulmate, and she has her own kids. I am old, I am tired, and I miss my other half.

One night, nearly 50 years after her death, I said goodbye and slept. I laid peacefully at rest, and the next time I opened my eyes, I could see her smiling face and beautiful blue eyes.
