How You Get The Girl

Alexia putellas x fem!reader

(Featuring Alexia in denial and Mapi’s devil antics)

This was not how Alexia was expecting her weekend to go.

She was supposed to be having a weekend trip to Mallorca with her closest long-time friend, Jenni. As much as it pained Alexia to leave her 4 legged companion behind, she knew she would also have an even harder time leaving her at a hotel when her and Jenni went to some bars, as Jenni said ‘to find someone to spice up her life a bit’.

Mapi was definitely not her first choice on who to leave Nala with, however with most of the team using their break to travel back to their families, it left only Mapi and Ingrid to look after her Pomeranian.

However, after receiving a frantic phone call from Mapi, with the few words she managed to make out due to the defender’s worry laced voice being: Nala, Cake, Vets.

———————————————————————

Alexia rushed onto the next flight and was at the vets in around 2 hours, to find Mapi still in the waiting room clutching her beloved dog, and Alexia was quick to snatch Nala from her.

It took everything in Alexia’s power to not start cursing Mapi out for her carelessness, but as she gave in and threw a snide remark at the defender, it was interupted by the receptionist.

“Nala is ready to be seen”

Alexia rushed to the door with Nala in her arms, and Mapi trailing behind. They were shown into the room, and Alexia walked straight into someone quite a bit shorter than her, this combined with the fact she is a professional footballer who keeps on top of her strength training resulted in her basically knocking this person over.

“¡Lo siento, lo siento!”, She said whilst keeping her eyes on Nala to check she wasnt hurt even more by her collision.

As Alexia looked up at the person she had crashed into, she was met with arguably the most beautiful women she had ever seen. Only to be met with a shove from her best friend, was when Alexia realised she had been staring.

“Alexia stop ogling the poor woman and apologise”

“I did!” countered the midfielder.

“Maybe in English would be smarter? So that she actually understands you!”

At the realisation that you had absolutely no idea what ‘lo siento’ meant, Alexia’s cheeks flushed crimson red, which recieved one of Mapi’s infamous snorts of laughter behind her.

Alexia honestly had no idea what was happening to her. She knows that your pretty, but she had seen other pretty girls before, why did you make her feel like this?

“Hello, I will be Nala’s vet for today, i will just go grab her records from reception, wont be a minute!” you said with a soft smile.

As soon as the door clicked shut behind you, Mapi burst iut laughing.

“Ale, as much as i love you, you were embarrassing there! If this is how you act around girls, no wonder you have never had a serious relationship”

“Shut up! I am not attracted to her, she makes me feel like i want to throw up!”

“Honey, thats called butterflies in your stomach! pretty cliché if you ask me, but I didnt realise you were such a romantic!” Mapi retorted, still laughing.

“I’m not a romantic. I’m not into her. I just want her to treat my dog, and then i can go play football after”

“Wait until i tell the team about this! The scary la reina, reduced to a blushing mess by a cute vet who she body slammed and then spent a minute ogling her, all because she has a little crush”

Before Alexia could respond with a threat of using her captain title to punish Mapi with tunning laps, the door clicked open to reveal you rushing back in.

Nala, who usually was very timid and barked at anyone who got near her, immediately jumped off of Alexia’s lap and ran straight up to you and jumped at your legs, to which you responded by picking her up and gushing over the cute little ball of fluff.

Alexia knew that if she wasnt already sat down her knees would have buckled at the sight of her dog basically confirming the fact that you were perfect for her. As Alexia contined to daydream about you, she was interupted by a hand clicking in her face, to which she turned to glare at Mapi’s toothy grin.

“Te distrajiste, el lindo vert estaba tratando de preguntarte sobre Nala. (You zoned out, the cute vet was trying to ask you about Nala)” Mapi said with a knowing smirk.

“¡Callarse la boca! y deja de llamarla linda. (Shut up! and stop calling her cute”

“¿Celosa? (jealous?)”

“Nunca. (never)”

However, when the two spaniards turned to face you, they were met by your dumbfounded face trying to decipher a word of what they just said. Although you had been taking Spanish classes since you moved to Spain, both Alexia and Mapi spoke the languge with too heavy of an accent and too fast for you to understand.

“So you filled out your form saying Nala ate a full chocolate cake?” You asked.

“¡Si! Yes! Will she be okay?” Alexia responded worriedly.

“Honestly this happens a lot, and there is no point her having ang unnecessary procedures, so we usually reccomend her take these tablets twice a day for a week and if you notice any unusual behaviour, bring her back here. I will write you a prescription for it now!”

“Ah okay thankyou, do I scedule an appointment for after she finishes the pills for a checkup?”

“No, the pills are enough, no checkup” You say with a smile.

As Alexia now realised that she would probably not see you again for a while, she slumped back in her seat and a new frown sat predominantly on her face.

Upon Mapi seeing this, she immediately felt an impulsive urge to assist one of her closest friends in her crush dilemma situation.

So Mapi did what she did best.

“My friend thinks your hot and wants your number now”

At hearing this you blushed bright red and Alexia smacked Mapi round the head.

“Excuse my friend! She can be very blunt… and stupid” Alexia said as Mapi emits an offended gasp, “As I would have politely asked you at the end, could I please have your number, as I think your very beautiful”

You are still sat there in absolute shock, you knew who these two people were, Alexia Putellas and Mapi Leon. Two world famous Spanish and Barcelona football players, you couldn’t help but wonder what the two time balon d’or winner wanted with your number.

Unfortunately, Alexia mistook your shock for rejection.

“I’m sorry, I have made it awkward, it’s okay that you dont feel comfortable giving me your number” Alexia suddenly stood up to leave, and pulled Mapi up with her “Thankyou for your help, goodbye”

The spaniard quickly took the prescription from your desk and rushed out with Nala in her arms, and urging Mapi to follow her, who felt slightly bad for embarrassing her friend like that.

———————————————————————

Alexia quicky rushed back down the corridor to the receptionist desk, wanting to get Nala’s prescription, and get out of the stupid vets as soon as possible, probably as she knew to return to her house and cry at the embarrassment she had suffered today.

The midfielder was about to hand over the prescription to the receptionist, but Mapi’s eyes caught a glimpse of something on the back of the paper.

“Alexia stop!”

Alexia turned to glare at the defender, “What now?” She said followed by an exasperated sigh.

“The paper!”

At this, Alexia turned over the paper, and couldn’t stop the smile tugging at her lips, as there was your number hastily scribbled down with a note: -call me

As she noted down the number into her contacts, she realised, she hadn’t even asked for your name.

Alexia turned to the receptionist, and asked, “Who was the vet that just saw us?”

“Y/n, she’s sweet, just moved here from London recently!”

“Thankyou” Alexia replied, as the receptionist grabbed the pills, Alexia put down your name into her contacts and sent you a quick message.

- Hey! It’s Alexia, from the clinic, I wasn’t lying when i told you i thought you were beautiful and I would love to take you on a date sometime?

There are two things wrong with Tommy, both very serious.

What I thought was a stuck third eyelid as the result of an injury is actually the result of increased eye pressure caused by either an infection behind her eye or a mass. The doctor is leaning towards it being an infection as she is diabetic and prone to developing infections. He gave her an injection of antibiotics and additional antibiotic drops to put directly in the eye. If it does not improve in the next two weeks, she’ll need imaging to determine if it’s a mass and maybe surgery (via the inside of her mouth) to drain the infection if it is one.

Secondly, the benign inflammatory growth that was removed from her lower jaw has grown back and needs to be surgically removed. Again. The doctor is waiting two weeks to see if the pressure in her eye decreases before attempting to remove the mass on her jaw that way he only has to put her under anesthesia once to do the jaw surgery, imaging and/or draining of the infection behind her eye.

Worst case scenario: My cat has a tumor in her head pressing up against her eye AND a growth on her jaw that needs removal.

Medium case scenario: My cat has a serious infection behind her eye that needs to be drained and a growth on her jaw that needs removal and may need removal again.

Best case scenario: My cat has a little infection between her eye that clears right up and a benign growth on her jaw that never returns after being removed a second time.

I’m devastated. I’m numb. I’m trying to ready myself for the worst case scenario.

The thing is, she had been doing really, really, really well before this. And she still is. Her glucose is perfect. She’s gained weight, she has a great appetite and she’s not obsessed with water, she’s active, she’s playful, she even tries to groom herself. She has been better in the last month than she has been in the last year. And now this. Fairly suddenly. I knew the growth in her mouth was slowly returning but the doctor hadn’t thought it was urgent before this because we were struggling with her insulin.

Today’s appointment was $400, for her insulin, syringes, two types of antibiotics and I’m sure hazard pay for the poor vet coming in on a Sunday to examine my little demon creature. I don’t know how much her surgery and possible additional imagining will cost. Please consider donating to my ko-fi.

I was wondering if you had an estimated date of when you will post the next HTP chapter?

Like, leaving us on such a cliffhanger must be a crime! It cant be legal!

Anyways, while I wait for it, Ive decided to copy paste every chapter into a doc and mark it up color code style for all my over analyzing needs. It took me an hour but it was worth it.

Have a good week and take care :)

(This is meant to be genuine, not mean or passive aggressive, just so you know. While I indeed am anxiously awaiting Chapter 10 by highlighting the chapters on a doc like that one photo of a bible page that’s highlighted with different colors. This isn’t meant to be mean or pressuring, take your time and take care of yourself)

⬆️(Ah poo, Im an over thinker

hey there, no worries y’all- i love seeing my reader’s enthusiasm and it’s reassuring to see continued interest in the series. i’d been hoping to have BOTH of the final ‘from eden’ chapters done before summer. but i have to admit, progress on the next chapter hasn’t been as forthcoming as i’d expected, for a couple reasons.

the first is health-related. not to be too TMI, but i recently got diagnosed with crohn’s disease. my symptoms started ages ago but have really ramped up in the last couple months, and the diagnosis was a lengthy and involved process (started the hunt back in november, presumptively diagnosed after a colonoscopy in feb, definitively diagnosed when biopsies came back over spring break) and even when i was simply waiting for results, it occupied a lot of my mental capacity. and ofc it happened to line up with me turning 26 and needing new insurance, which has caused lots of delays. anyone dealing with the american health care system while chronically ill will tell you it’s a frustrating, exhausting process. as of right now, i’m still waiting to start treatment 🫠

but honestly, even more than that, the biggest thing stopping me from writing is… me? 😂 so there’s this thing that happens after i post a chapter that’s like… decision paralysis? except it’s just that sometimes, i literally can’t bring myself to start the next chapter. it’s like, i have this unfounded fear that all my writing up until this point has been some magical fluke out of my control, and i’m not capable of ‘pulling it off’ again. i guess you could call it a form of imposter syndrome (which i already encounter enough in my vet school life). it gets worse after posting something that was a particularly massive undertaking or was insanely well-received bc i’m scared i won’t be able to top it- even though the impact of storytelling is supposed to be cohesive, and it’s unrealistic for every chapter to be ‘bigger and better’ (what does that even mean?) than the last one because they serve different purposes at different points in the story. i know this, rationally, but that doesn’t stop the irrational fear of failure from making me avoid writing.

i’m not sharing this to make excuses or garner sympathy, or fish for compliments, and certainly not to make anyone feel guilty for asking about updates. i just feel like maybe this will resonate with anyone who has the same experience. and also to share hope, because despite how often this feeling rears its ugly head, i’ve still been able to push through and get back to writing- and i’m always very happy with the result. sometimes it just takes longer than i’d like (pro tip: writing on ur phone is less intimidating, tho it’s more of a pain). but in any case, the next chapter of ‘from eden’ is well underway and i still hope to have the series done before summer’s end^^

#hels to pay au #HTP ask #wow that’s WAY more rambling abt my personal life than i typically do #but NEVER FEAR i wouldn’t leave y’all on that cliffhanger forEVER i’m not THAT cruel <3

[whumpshaped]

adding onto your remote control drugging! if it’s with multiple substances the whumpee never knows what the sting will bring them this time. they never know if they behaviour is influenced by some drug or if it’s just them. was the injection activated while they were asleep? are these long lasting effects of the drugging? are they just loosing their mind?

whumpee is just doing the dishes when they feel a sting and are suddenly overcome with dread at will follow next. maybe they try to continue on with their task until the ground is moving and they are giggling uncontrollably. or maybe suddenly everything turns into a nightmare…..

tw noncon drugging, conditioning, addiction whump, captivity, forced treatment

Whumpee was losing track of how many times they had been injected with something. The effects ranged from painful to pleasant, with everything from hallucinogens to aphrodisiacs in between. They had no illusions about a potential rescue or recovery; their body was likely already overwhelmed and ruined.

It became more and more difficult to tell what was the effect of the drugs, and what was simply the result of conditioning, prolonged captivity, and torture. Their patterns of behaviour became erratic, their movements became uncontrolled and jerky. They were forgetting words and expressions they had uttered a million times before, they were stuttering and slurring, and sometimes they zoned out in the middle of a sentence without ever finishing it. They were losing time, sometimes entire days. There was no guarantee that they would go to sleep and wake up in the same location, only 8 hours apart.

They felt like they were completely losing their mind, and there was no end in sight.

They stared down at the plate they’d been washing for the past five minutes, their hand still going around and around in circles with the sponge. It was squeaky clean by now, but they couldn’t will themself to move on from it.

Around and around. Around and around.

Buzz.

Whumpee flinched and almost dropped the plate when the collar went off again, injecting them with some mystery substance. They quickly turned off the faucet and put everything down, stumbling backwards until their thigh collided with a chair. They sat down and waited.

And waited.

And waited.

The floor was spinning, the lights seemed to flicker just a bit, and their mind was growing hazy; they had no way of knowing what it was, and how it’d progress. It was terrifying every single time. Would it be a sedative or poison?

They waited.

They eventually passed out, leaning on the table and with their face buried in their folded arms.

-

“Whumpee? Whumpee, you’re shaking again. Hey.”

Whumpee flinched away when Caretaker touched them, curling in on themself. “Leave me alone. Leave me alone.”

“As much as I’d love to indulge you, I can’t just leave you to–”

“L-leave me alone. Please. Leave me alone.”

“I can’t just leave you to die. Whumpee, stop making this difficult. Please.” Caretaker grabbed them by the shoulders again and tried to pull them up, and they kicked and screamed like a feral cat.

They didn’t want to be given more medication. They couldn’t take it. They could already feel the sting of it in their neck, the unknown substance being pushed into their veins against their will. They would’ve rather died from withdrawal.

“It’s just a pill. It’s a pill. You know it’s a pill.” Caretaker forced their mouth open and shoved the pill down their throat, really hammering it home that Whumpee was nothing but a patient at a vet clinic. They felt like they were choking for a moment before their muscles contracted and the pill slid down, entirely without their conscious input. “Nobody is putting a needle in you,” Caretaker went on while Whumpee cried and tried to push them away. “Okay? It’s just a pill.”

“It’s drugs! It’s fucking drugs! It’s all the same, it’s all the same, nobody is telling me anything!”

“Yes, we are. We’re telling you everything. You know what the pill is, remember?” Caretaker held them close despite their struggling, rubbing their arms and trying their best to calm them down. “We can go look through the box again. But do you remember when the doctor at the hospital explained it to you? How it’d help with the withdrawals? They made so many tests to find out what you were addicted to, remember that?”

Whumpee’s thrashing slowly died down as the memories came back, and they eventually ended up slumped against their friend, still breathing heavy. “Yeah,” they choked out.

“Good, good. It’s nothing unfamiliar. It’s the same pill as always. Just to help you… you know, not die.”

Whumpee nodded, trying to ignore the throbbing pain in their neck. There was nothing there. No collar, no needle, it wasn’t real. “M-my neck hurts,” they whispered, and Caretaker moved their hand to gently massage the area.

“It’ll go away,” they murmured. “It’s okay. You’re gonna be okay. I promise.”

Lil update on our sick girl:

First full day of antibiotics down, but still waiting to hear back from the vet with blood work results. She's showing signs of regaining her appetite, and she got at least a few mouthfuls of food today - which is an improvement from yesterday.

But her spirits seem a little higher today. More alert and responsive, and quicker to purr.

I'm watching her constantly while waiting for her test results. Hopefully I get the call later tonight or tomorrow. And more hopefully this turns out to just be a sinus infection.

Harlow sister getting hurt, maybe a car accident or a fall, idk, but she’s in the ER and Jack gets to her first, he’s sitting with her holding her hand? Urban gets there later and her brothers can visibly watch her calm down and be more at ease

“What happened?” Jack and Clay are rushing into the ER and into the room their sister was in.

“I- it came out of nowhere and I didn’t want to hit it. So I swerved the other way without looking and- and it was too late.” You whisper out, your voice and your entire body shaky. “Is it okay?”

Clay nods, “He’s fine, he’s getting checked out at the vet.”

You nod sadly. “Are you okay?.” Jack asks you worriedly, coming to stand in front of you and starting at the cut on your forehead.

“I’m okay, just a bit shaken up and my neck hurts from the burn of the seatbelt.”

“Did they run tests on you yet?” Clay is next to you now, hugging you.

“Y-yeah, they said it’ll be thirty minutes before they get the results.”

Jack takes a hold of your hand and notices a small bruise forming on your arm. “Nothings broken, are you sure you’re okay?”

You nod, just then your boyfriend is walking in, hair a mess and a worried look on him.

In an instant he’s standing in front of you, “Baby, what happened? Are you okay? Have you been checked yet?” He starts looking all over your body, looking for signs of something being wrong.

“I-I’m okay, just needed you here.”

“I’m here baby, I rushed here to get to you.” Urban pulls you in closer, his thumb and index finger under your chin, making you look up at him. “You’d tell me if something was hurting you right?”

You nod, “Yes, I’m just shaken up from it but I’m okay.” You lay your head on his chest.

Clay and Jack are watching their little moment in silence.

“Come on, let's go.”

“Wait, where are you guys going?” You ask your brothers.

“We’ll wait in the waiting room.” Jack smiles, “Urban has it handled.”

Urban and Jack nod at each other, your brothers hug you and walk out of the room.

“She’s in good hands huh?” Clay asks his big brother.

Jack sighs and nods “Never doubted that, but it still hurts they went behind my back. I’m just glad she’s okay.”

Clay nods, “All just because she didn’t want to run over a dog.”

Jack chuckles, “Mom is gonna beat her ass for it though.”

“I look forward to it.” Clay adds, pulling out his phone to return the missed call from their mom.

Last night my cat Ares just randomly found a way to fuck up one of his frontal legs, one second he was OK, the next he was wailing in pain under my car after following another pair of cats that were running around.

I went to a random vet we found by asking around, as the one I know in the area was closed, and they told me he either sprained something, or there’s a partial fracture somewhere, but at the very least it’s not a full fracture, they didn’t have x-rays so I had to take it somewhere else, where I am right now waiting for him.

I’m still completely fucking baffled by this, it was so sudden at first I was in complete denial, only after I noticed the swelling did I react and jump into my car, never in my life had I have such random accident happen to a pet of mine.

I’ll get the results of the x-ray later today, so we will see what kind of damage my stupid asshole of a cat did to himself.

Miami Vice S1E16: Smuggler's Blues

Sonny and Rico fly to Colombia with Eagles frontman Glenn Frey.

The first time I watched this one was before I'd watched Wiseguy, so I don't think I had much of an opinion about Glenn Frey other than TAKE IT EEEEEASY, TAKE IT EEEEEEASY

Anyway I actually really like him as an actor and I think he does a great job of playing a super burnt out aging hippie Vietnam vet here

This is also the second (and unfortunately the second to last) episode directed by my best pal Paul Michael Glaser, so it's thoughtful and well-paced and fairly homoerotic, which is all one really needs for a solid Vice episode

The DEA does not come off well at all in this episode:

Sonny tells a callous and "results oriented" DEA agent who blames casualties on the "politics of contraband" that "the politics of contraband does not involve killing children," and then straight up calls him a fascist

And later a Rico expresses a sense of surprise that they're involved in such "a big operation, moving people to Cartagena," and a DEA agent responds with "not people, just you two"

...which is all fair because the DEA is terrible, although we're still in the portion of the series where (Sonny especially believes) "regular cops" are still positioned as good, so a bit of pot-kettle going on there

Trudy SO wants to go to Cartagena and make a drug deal but the DEA agent tells her she is staying in Miami and posing as Rico's wife. : (

We'll see later in Prodigal Son that PMG is really good at directing Don Johnson, but it's very clear in this episode that he's also extremely good with Philip Michael Thomas

There's a bunch of moments in this one that are very Starsky & Hutch -- the fight in the alley could literally be ripped from an S&H episode, and the later scene where Sonny and Rico have a wordless conversation in matching doorways feels very S&H as well

The lyrics to the Glenn Frey song Smuggler's Blues straight up narrate part of the episode, to the point where it feels a little silly. Trudy sure does have a suitcase when you're singing about suitcases

We don't get to see if their hotel room only has one bed but I like to believe

So. I think this is the episode where Sonny, who is very good at ignoring his own feelings and refusing to process anything, suddenly realizes that he might care about Rico More Than Is Normal or Acceptable. When Tubbs is captured by the Colombian police, he lets him go fairly quickly, and without pushing back too much on Jimmy-- until they get back to the hotel. He doesn't freak out until he has the time and space to process, and then he snaps. Jimmy asks if he's going to just take on the entire Colombian police force, and Sonny says 'maybe,' and he tries to strangle Jimmy. When he calms down, and Jimmy offers him a cigarette, he breaks the filter off. And then as he and Jimmy sit and discuss loss, Sonny genuinely looks like he is (and frankly he could be) crying. He tells Jimmy that Rico is the one guy he's "gotta wait for," and then when Rico gets out of jail, he sees that Jimmy has left and Sonny has completely trashed the hotel room.

You know.

Normal coworker kind of behavior.

Thank you PMG for always supporting your loyal queers

There is an unremarked upon and incredibly ominous small boy who follows Grocero (the drug dealer) around throughout the episode, and I'm sure the intention is something-something the way the drug trade fucks up kids bla bla BUT what it actually comes off as is just. David Lynch Red Room shit. Haunted child.

When Trudy is captured later and Castillo is deciding who is going to try to defuse the bomb she's strapped to, twice Gina asks for it to be her, and twice the entire rest of the team ignores her. It's a really interesting little moment, especially coupled with the DEA agent shutting down Trudy's desire to go to Colombia earlier-- Gina and Trudy are often given short shrift, but it's not usually remarked upon. These lines didn't need to be included-- Gina and Trudy could've just been excluded from the missions as they often are-- but instead this episode actually highlights the ways they're sometimes dismissed and prevented from fully participating in things the men of Vice are never questioned on. I'm not 100% certain, but from what I recall this may be the only time this tendency is lampshaded in this way-- I suspect because this episode was written by Miguel Piñero, which is to say: Calderone himself.

Piñero was a playwright and poet known for piercing portrayals of modern society and its ills (especially with regards to the treatment of Black and Hispanic populations). He died very young, but in that time was nominated for or received a number of prestigious writing awards and helped found the Nuyorican art movement. I do not think it's a coincidence that this man saw some things (Vice's iffy track record with women, the abject uselessness and evil of the DEA, even the portrayal of the Colombian police captain not as corrupt but desperate) more clearly than many of the other writers on the show. It's also worth noting that Piñero was bisexual, and in a relationship with gay painter Martin Wong at the likely time of writing this episode-- which is to say I don't think Sonny's "oh. Oh no." moment about Rico ought to be brushed off as "straight writer accidentally makes something homoerotic because they don't think or care about women."

Tubbs blesses himself when he hears that Sonny and Trudy are okay-- he is not generally portrayed as particularly religious, but he probably had a Catholic upbringing, given his background, and it feels like a very real reaction.

The episode ends with Tubbs waxing philosophical about why anyone would do any of this shit and deciding that "the bottom line is money," and Castillo agreeing, "usually is." That's it folks! That's the show!

So uh. Is Jimmy dead

I know in a later episode some other smuggler will be like "yeah Jimmy told me all about you guys" to Sonny and Rico but like. Someone forgot to wrap up Glenn Frey's storyline here

He gets shot and then we just never see him again

R(?)IP Jimmy

Fractured logic

Anti lore:

'He could act JAMMF only during Season 1, after that he went down the drain. He can't act.'

'His business projects will last as long as his mommies will still be able to buy his booze.'

Ok, Mordor. Let's suppose you are right. But then please explain me like I were 5, why on Earth would *** consistently keep signing employment contract upon employment contract with such an untalented, tactless, borderline stupid (this is the bright impression we are left with after reading your musings) guy?

A media production company like *** is not a charity. I am absolutely sure that they would have had no problems finding someone else to play JAMMF, if the financial results were so abysmal as you seem to suggest, without a single shred of evidence. Or cancel the show altogether: after all, few series have had OL's lucky longevity.

What would be the secret? The mommies, who also hungrily support his business projects? Then why would a major spirits distribution company, such as Southern Glazer's, even consider the idea of partnering with a middle-aged wannabe TV actor, whose only credentials at serious business are a handful of bottle signing events at liquor stores around the US? I mean, you can't reasonably believe a battalion of aging fans, many of whom dutifully followed the circuit, is enough of a sales argument to even draft a business plan, let alone a distribution contract? Surely Southern Glazer's is not a charity, either, huh?

I know, I know. The outside world, where all of us pay taxes and have jobs, is sometimes a very complicated thing to grasp or understand. Both *** and Southern Glazer's mean big business and that comes with all the corporate trappings, not just the interns you love to bash on Tumblr (interested to know if you also behave like that at your respective workplaces: I would happily fire you on the spot /end of shipper fanfic). That is a world of executives, analysts, legal teams, Sales & Marketing departments and, above all, multiple in-house decision-making and vetting procedures. Do you sincerely believe all these people are sinister cretins, or are you simply unwilling to admit you have no experience of or knowledge about the way these things really work, in real life?

Considering your POV, it is a thing of wonder S can read, write or responsibly sign a business or legal document. And yet, here we are: the man works. He has multiple projects. Some of them will be successful, others could also fail: that's just a matter of statistics and probabilities. Such is life and it's fine.

Kindly explain that paradox to me. I am waiting.

Now now, Geoffrey, she's much nicer than anyone you live with...

Serenity's skills after Week One:

KNITTING 6 PAINTING 4 CHARIMSA 3 COOKING 2 GARDENING 2 ENTREPRENEUR 2

Also unlocked the INSPIRED EXPLORER trait, which will help her build up skills - and grab some more collectibles (her main means of making simoleons). The GEEK trait is actually so good for that, who knew? Not me. Just add that to FREEGAN my next Rag to Riches challenge and I'll be set in no time.

Cheats Used:

1. FreeRealEstate to buy an empty lot in Brindleton Bay. 2. Aspirational cheat because the last on the second stage ('Knit While Listening To Music') wasn't getting checked off, even though Serenity did it.

(Picture of the updated house + some ramblings below).

Okay, I admit it. SEASONS, I've underestimated you for far too long.

Previously I've advised people that if they can only choose one expansion pack, get CATS & DOGS - because pets! Why not pets? Also new world! Buut adding seasons, holidays and the variety in harvestables makes the game feel so cyclic and really like the passage of time is a thing.

While I personally would still pick pets, I have to concede that SEASONS simply gives you more to do. If you're not all that into animals and won't pursue the vet career, I can see it being kind of niche, even though to me it's still an essential.

And while Brindleton Bay is gorgeous, the two base game worlds (I don't count Newcrest) still give you a lot of explorable areas and interesting NPCs - and other than being set in New England rather than the US South, it isn't vastly different in feel. The only NPCs from CATS & DOGS that really stand out are the Heckings (because d'aww) and Catarina Lynx - although not in a good way (such a lazy stereotype, EA). When you compare that to CITY LIVING and COTTAGE LIVING (the Crumplebottoms, everyone!), both those packs give you more colourful characters - and a world that feels more like a community, imo.

PARENTHOOD is essential for family gameplay. In terms of build it has surprisingly good items (including a kitchen set, and usually base game kitchens are the bane of my existence) and the CAS will actually make your teenagers look as such. Parenting is also a skill that allows your Sim to directly influence your spawn's behavior and while sometimes (as with the Sims game mechanics as a whole) the phases can be Extra, they are also hilarious. Plus children and teens have the opportunity to earn bonus traits when aged up (good manners, responsible etc) which otherwise can't be acquired.

NIFTY KNITTING in my opinion had the best gameplay mechanic out of all the stuff packs (although PARANORMAL with mediumship and the new investigator role is also solid). And it even gives you a whole new aspiration! There are so many items you can unlock only through knitting, Sims with a decent skill level can teach others how to knit and it also helps children build up their motor skill. It also unlocks Plopsy as a means to make money. Yeah, it is kind of frustrating that much in CAS particularly is locked initially, but to me that means increased playability.

So yeah, obviously personal taste and what you're interested in playing varies a lot from one Simmer to another. But if you are a new player (after trying the free BASE GAME beforehand), I'd pick SEASONS, PARENTHOOD and NIFTY KNITTING. Please please wait for a sale - or if you just can't, grab the three of them in a bundle from the online store.

Finally I realised that the poll results aren't yet viewable to me - this should be exciting :D

Another cheater??? You should check out for @thedoover-if it also has a cheater spouse 😭 but not with a sister though, thats just evil 👿

I wanted to ask but saw that the cheating was going on for months, how did MC find out?

And you said Jade is conflicted and regrets the cheating if MC accepts the affair? I didn't quite catch that last part of your answer of that anons ask, could you please explain it.

And will Jade try to mend her relationship with MC even if MC doesn't initiate? Because I can imagine a lot people would want nothing to do with her 😅 I mean even if that relationship is patched up its probably never gonna be the same, even with MC parents as they showed they value Jades happiness more than MC, hell they even value Chris so much they still like him,

How was MC as a child? Were they an average child compared to Jade or is it because they're ugly or something. Or is Jades beauty some OP plot armour or something that their parents didn't care for Mc? Do MCs parents love them? And can MC get in on this plot armour too 🤣🤣

Oh I love lengthy asks <3.

Hmm, this is a spoiler but oh well. MC very much witnessed the cheating themselves. As in came home after getting the dog back from the vet to find Chris and Jade in the kitchen on the counter...together.

That was my bad I cut myself off in the prior ask. So MC and Jade's relationship was good. There was no beef, no fighting, it was truly a good relationship. Jade has some regret over what happened, but Jade gets by with a lot because she was raised as a favorite child. Jade has never been innocent, but MC never expected Jade to betray them.

There will be instances where Jade tries to talk to MC about what happened, but you really don't owe it to her. So if MC chooses to just flip Jade off and get the hell out of there, Cam is waiting with the car running.

Lol no op plot armor. MC is attractive just as Jade is., in fact, some would even say more so and do. Mc excelled in school, they just couldn't outshine their older sisters limelight. Mc has Jade built up in their head as this perfect person, which resulted in MC being ok with letting Jade have the limelight, that is until now. It's like how Cam feels like he will never be able to do better than Chris. There is a reason that MC's parents treat them differently than Jade and it has to come down to the parents and not MC. (its spoilery) Mc's parents do love them, their relationship just isn't as simple with MC as it is with Jade.

Poor Flynnie has to have an ultrasound scan on Thursday :( He is STILL having some pretty severe gut problems, 2 months after they started... Plus, the most recent blood test we did showed up some slightly “off” results, nothing major but various levels were a bit higher, or lower than they should be - including some stuff related to kidney function.

After seeing the results, the vet asked me to get a urine sample. It turns out Flynn’s losing protein in his urine & his urine is also too dilute. High protein levels in urine often happens because a dog has chronic kidney disease but it can also be a temporary issue, due to infection/inflammation, (or other illnesses... like cancer, which I hope is very unlikely to be the cause here). Regardless of the reason it is happening, it puts a strain on the kidneys. Or, in Flynn’s case, a strain on his kidney. Singular. Flynn only has 1 kidney... so we really can’t mess around with this. He’s now on a “renal diet” & if it’s safe, may start on ACE inhibitors to reduce strain on his kidney. The ultrasound will look at both Flynn’s gut & his kidney, so I guess we’ll just have to wait & see if anything shows up. 

I lost Barney, less than 3 weeks ago - after he’d had the exact same infection as Flynn. Barney went from having mild kidney disease, to being in kidney failure in the space of less than a month. Barney was very elderly, of course... but, still... I don’t know what is going on with Flynn. He’s been treated twice for giardia infection, we’ve been manically cleaning to prevent reinfection, he’s on probiotics & was on GI food. He is an apparently otherwise healthy dog & he really should be getting better by now & instead, if anything he seems in some ways worse than he was 6-8 weeks ago. Argh, I am so stressed. My poor little guy :(
