i’m sorry for going on a bit of a bender but literally babs was the first one ted told about his heart condition, and also the reason why he went to get it checked out in the first place, and ted helped with birds of prey shit despite being retired, he took her out in the bug despite being retired, and she appreciated it in full in a way many people couldn’t because she’s a techie nerd just like him, and he could appreciate the work she put into her oracle displays, and they were just friends. they were just good, platonic friends, who loved and cared for and supported each other, and god i miss them.

rip to you for the COVID hope you feel better soon! and I hope you have fun playing the Sims! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ🌻🪻🌸💜
Thank you so much that's very sweet!! I was so pissed off about it. I went FOUR YEARS without getting COVID and I was finally hit by the dodgeball like TEN DAYS before my trip. But I'm up to date on my vaccines and I felt mostly fine. Vaccines lose their efficacy after 6 months, my recent vaccine saved my ass, please check to see when your latest vaccine was.
Unfortunately I continued to be dead (Sims, writing obsessively again, preparing for my trip) and I will continue to be dead (I am going to be in Hawai'i for a week). I need to tweak some things about the chapter so I'm going to wait until I have time to do so before I post it. I try not to be on my computer a lot during my vacations, so it might take a minute.
Since I graduated college, I pretty much have a habit of feeling an insane need to flee once every three or four months, and I call up a friend who lives Wherever and take a trip to hang out with them (internet friends, 80% of the time - love you guys!). But I guess my Big Move six months ago satisfied my need for novelty, because I've only travelled once since then to visit my mother on Thanksgiving. Objectively feels weird to only take one trip in six months, so I'm happy that I'm taking two this month. Hawai'i is going to be extremely good because I have not Seen A Tree In The Wild for six months (it's either city trees or...corn......there's no fulfillment in corn....) and it's probably doing weird things to my psyche.
What the fuck do you do during a ten hour plane flight? Hopefully the Sims? What happens? Insane.

Do you plan on getting any non millipede friends
I do! I’d love to get some more isopods and raise some beetles from larva again. I’d also LOVE to get back into fish keeping my faves are bettas, shrimps, corydoras and kuhli loaches! Maybe a snake or gecko further down the line? But those are what I know the least about and would be most hesitant to get as I want any creatures I get to have the best care I can give them.
I’d say the only creatures on my never list are spiders, roaches, centipede, anything else that moves overly fast or has a bad bite/is venomous/poisonous. Probably turtles too just due to their life spans.
But millipedes and isopods are what I’m able to keep right now as I’d have to get some new tanks for anything else, as well as all the research I’d need to do to be comfortable keeping them.
Oh also I do have two cats I just don’t post about them here, and I plan to possibly get a third next year but we’ll see :3

"Ugh, these horrible, money-grubbing scammers going around! Just who do they think they are, anyway? I can respect a bit of playing dirty as much as the next girl, but this is just a new low!"
"I can hardly bear to watch. Papa's gonna fall for it again, I just know it..."

Do you have more khotkin/notkhan lore... I'm intrigued...
Sorry for late reply was aseep. Sure 👍 warning I don't think about their relationship that much (they just ball + are in cringefail teenage crushes we've all been there [cavernous voice]) to think of as much little details as I do the grown-ups but I have a vague timeline in my head I can elaborate on for you so here
14-15 years of age (current time as of the game)
Embarrassing like back and forth, both disliking (or pretending to dislike to save face) the other while wanting to mend the bond. Pride coming in the way/wanting the other to apologize because doing so would be an admission of fault or guilt and can't have that... 💯 "He's a decent enough guy [said in the voice of a guy who'd love to sit next to him and do the "inconspicuous arm around the shoulder while yawning" move]". "I'm not holding your hand [in the House of Death] because I want to dude I do it because you're shaking you're so scared bro. I'm doing this for you. Stop being a pussy and I'll let your hand go [doesn't do that even as the other has calmed down]." "Also who walks around in shorts and rolled sleeves in the middle of the night [voice of a guy who would lend his coat but is too prideful to try + that'd be like admitting """defeat""" and he wants to retain some sort of power]"<- happens here. Everyone around is just kinda
here especially Capella who Knows they kiss in the future but she can't guess when so she just kinda has to like. Wait and sit.
15-16 years of age (post-plague)
Attempt at a resolution. With the Polyhedron gone they just kinda have to like. Hang out together again so everyone kinda makes it so they come face to face. They're exhausted from the plague + meds combination so they don't have it in them to catfight with the other anymore. "Napping huddled together with his big leather coat as a blanket over the both of you" event happens here. [They might blame it on the plague + meds exhaustion but everyone knows.....] Ragingly blushing as they sit next to each other / pretend they didn't in fact nap huddled together etc. People around them are like "aw they're reconciliating 🫶 love wins" and they're like WHAT WINS???? and the people are like "platonic love... friendship... friendship is magic... calm down boss... [knows]"
Cringe fail kiss like two weird fish happens 6 months after that and then they don't talk about it again. Everyone is just like Smile and nod yall Smile and nod. Sticky owes Capella money/items because they had a bet on when and of course she wins & some dogheads & Dualsouls owe stuff among themselves too. They refuse to make it like "official"/weird vibes in general. But everyone knows. Everyone has known.
16-17 years of age
Attempt at a resolution 2/continuation. Go to the Broken Heart once on a date that's relatively uncringe for two people who used to tell each other to kill themselves. I think Khan reintegrated the Kain household by then. He invites Notkin over once and Victor is just like Smile and nod yall. (Victor learned to stop having a problem with his son being gay. He now has a problem with him having bad taste.) Still refuse to make it official.
17-18 years of age.
At this point I think both Capella and Khan go to college to get more knowledge. (Khan strikes me as a linguistics or maybe economic sciences guy) again weird floaty evasive relationship behavior. Notkin comes to Khans dorm like twice and they go out in the town as like #buddies as like #pals [Khan pays for their food and drinks even if at this point I think Notkin makes some kind of money in Town. I'd love for him to be a vet but I think he's too #sensitive to deal with animal pain and death. In my mind's when I imagine a modern AU he's doing a car mechanic internship. Nothing to do with that timeline just wanted to share.]
18 years of age and onwards
Finally 👍 they are normal about it. I don't think they have a big announcement like We Are Together but they admit it to each other at least. Have from there on a shockingly normal relationship. For people who used to tell the other to kill themselves. Love wins. Etc
