Académie Le Tour Dormie Pool
Tumblr media
I received a comment on my LFT Dormie Pool post asking about pools for the other two universities, so have some Académie Le Tour dormies!
All 50 ALT dormies, ready to be added to your dormie-less ALT!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I gave everybody a cellphone and any information the wiki had on them such as LTWs and Interests if they had them. Names will be randomized when you add the pool but you can change them with simpe back to their originals.
Tumblr media
Secret Society members have the appropriate token, but I once again did not test to see if they actually are really members whoops. Also, I again may or may not have fixed Houston’s broken face.
Keep in mind they’re pictured here with my default skin and eyes.
Now I must tell you the potential bad news... 😳 I made two blunders, one incredibly minor and the other slightly larger. The minor blunder is that Zion Cormier actually accidentally has blonde eyebrows instead of black. He didn't extract with his blue hair and when I gave it to him in CAS his eyebrows changed blonde and I unfortunately didn't notice. Easily changeable.
The larger blunder is that I was dumb and made the empty subhood before I extracted the dormies from original ALT and I forgot to re-disable the university neighborhood templates after so 12 character files of professors generated and I didn't realize until I was almost finished townifying 😫 But I created numerous test hoods and I've found that the 12 professor character files don't get added if UALT is added as the second university. Example if you add any other university and then add "Académie Le Tour Dormie Pool" you don't get them. If you add ONLY "Académie Le Tour Dormie Pool" you do. I'm so sorry! 😫 But if you wind up with 12 professors, I guess you're free to keep, kill etc them but I didn't want to touch them myself.
Anyways,
To use the dormie pool, place the UALT folder into either
C: > Program Files (x86) > Origin Games > The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection > University Life > TSData > Res > NeighborhoodTemplate
or C: > Program Files (x86) > EA Games > The Sims 2 > The Sims 2 University > TSData > Res > NeighborhoodTemplate
or if you have your game installed somewhere else, so long as it winds up in the neighborhood template folder of your university EP.
After that, add it like a normal university. After you add it, you can delete it (provided it’s not the only unversity) and the dormies will stay.
As with anything, and especially due to my mistake, I recommend adding to a test throwaway hood before adding to hoods you care about. Don’t forget backups! 🙏I warned you! 💕

But please consider becoming a patron if you like what I do so I know! 🙏

NEW AND IMPROVED: incorrect FNAF quotes
Uh just forget all the previous posts I can't remember half the quotes I made and also some of them are outdated lore-wise or headcanon-wise so time for a grand reopening of the series(?). May have done some of these quotes exactly the same in the past but heck if I know-
Contains: Headcanons, spoilers for Ruin, hopefully no big mistakes/words I forgot to replace
Speaking of headcanons: I hc that the "classic fnaf" era night guards are all the fnaf 4 bullies. So Michael, Fritz, Jeremy, and the last one is entirely an OC (whom I had described in my old quotes posts but I've renamed her now 'Cus I accidentally gave her the same name as a BATIM character whoops-): Susanna "Susie" Hudson. She's the FNAF 3 guard.
as was before, I get these quotes from the perchance generator and just insert the characters in manually.
quotes under the cut:
Gregory (seeing that one unexplained room): Is… Is that meant to be on fire? Roxanne Wolf: No… not really. Gregory: Are you going to do something about it? Roxanne Wolf: Hm… nah.
-
Michael Afton: Sometimes I wonder if I’m hearing voices. Michael Afton: Then I remember that’s the last bit of sanity I have trying to get me to fall asleep at a reasonable time.

-
Mangle: Welcome to Fucking Applebees, do you want apples or bees? Jeremy Fitzgerald: Bees? Mangle: HE HAS SELECTED THE BEES! Jeremy Fitzgerald: Wait- *Toy Chica approaches, shaking a jar of bees menacingly* ('Twas but an allegory for the Bite of 87-)
-
Fritz Smith: I wasn’t that drunk.  Jeremy Fitzgerald: You colored my face with a highlighter because you said I was important.  Fritz Smith: BECAUSE YOU ARE!  -
The Puppet: Bonnie, are you drinking… drinking hydrogen peroxide?! Toy Bonnie: It says H2O2! That means it’s the sequel to water! -
Michael Afton: I'm not a morning person. I'm barely even a person.

Circus Baby: Pardon me, but it sounds like you’re questioning my authority! Funtime Foxy: Not at all, Baby. Merely your primitive methods.

Kinda late (I forgot...) but here's my update for day 4
NaNo day 4: I was in the train all day and, for some reason, it really got my creative juice flowing since I wrote a whooping 3487 words, my highest wordcount this November. I wrote a scene I have been thinking for a while now and it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself, even if it's a scene for the last book of the series and not the first one (you know, the one I'm supposed to be writing right now). But STILL. It's in the same universe and I broke my own heart so a win is a win. I may not be able to use it for the tome 1 but it will be one less thing to wright one day (i'll have to rewrite it entirely, but shhh)
I'll reach the 10k mark tomorrow (today...) if everything goes according to plan so that's exciting !
@steh-lar-uh-nuhs I saw your question about how I got to this part of the website but forgot to answer... If you still want to know, I made a step by step explanation under the cut ^^
Tumblr media
On your computeur, on the dashboard page, click on the "my nanowrimo" (purple in the picture)
Tumblr media
2. Click on "Profile" (again in purple)
Tumblr media
3. Your page will look something like that and the part I screenshot for these posts is the one in purple (how original)
It's probably the same on mobile but I don't use the site on my phone because it looks weird to me ^^
I hope you found it helpful, sorry for the delay 💜

WIP Harpoon pack from Infinity Train! (aka Simon's Backpack)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(EDIT: hey I did some fixing up of my cosplay which you can see here in this post!)
This is almost done but I still need to make the thingies with the harpoon hooks in them. And also add finishing details, like paint on some bolts, and also cover up the messes i made.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can lift it up to reveal a real-ass backpack inside for storing things at conventions!
This whole thing is just a cardboard + craft foam cover over my old backpack with a broken zipper. Good use for that Goodfood box we got when we forgot to cancel! Whoops!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Honestly I think it's cool that I'm using a Swiss Gear backpack for this because IMO Simon would be partial to Swiss Gear backpacks (don't you dare @ me about this I'm warning you).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The wheels are literally just spare office chair wheels, and the thread is just some random thread from Dollarama.
I may eventually paint shadows onto the thing to make it look less flat but also I'm lazy so maybe I won't.
Not pictured is me wearing it in costume but I can assure you I have done it I'm just too ashamed to post it. 🙃🙃🙃

I was tagged by @baeddel and charged with the following questions:
Last song: Mephisto by Queen Bee. This is the ED for Oshi no Ko, and that is indeed the context I first encountered it. But I've kind of become obsessed with Queen Bee ever since I saw this video of Avu-chan:
youtube
There is definitely an element of "I want to learn to sing but I cannot sound like a cis women no matter what so I have to figure out some other sort of voice to aspire towards". Not that I could ever have Avu-chan's ridiculous range lol. But they are sort of the coolest person I've ever seen.
After that I learned that I'd been hearing Avu-chan a whole bunch. For example, Avu-chan voices Inu-oh! All the fantastic songs I enjoyed in that film...
youtube
And that's not even the first time Avu-chan worked with Masaaki Yuasa. You remember that amazing version of Devilman no Uta from Devilman Crybaby?
youtube
Yeah, guess who.
But that's just focusing on the anime link. Queen Bee is the shit. Like check out this duet between Avu-chan and Avu-chan:
youtube
Or King Bitch with all the martial arts. Or Inu-hime which manages to pack a whole gory jidaigeki story into a three and a half minute music video. I'm still working my way back through Queen Bee's videos.
Forgive me, this is way more than one song ^^'
Currently watching: Besides Animation Night tonight? ^^
I recently finished Tengoku Daimakyou - which was imo strong right up to the end, and there's a bunch to write about it. But this says 'currently' so...
I'm presently catching up on Oshi no Ko. (Hence the Queen Bee listening.) Which is the one where the gynecologist is reincarnated as the son of an idol alongside one of his patients; said idol gets murdered, and then as a highschool student our boy's attempting to solve her murder while getting caught up in all sorts of showbiz drama. I've written a bit about Oshi no Ko before; two eps further on, the story continues to have some delightful swerves and I'm fascinated to see where they're going with all this. I can see it steadily orbiting certain themes - falsehood, performance, self-identity and so on - but what the ultimate thrust will be, remains to be seen.
I ended up rewatching a few episodes with @footsteps-on-the-dance-floor a couple weeks ago. On the rewatch, I was struck by how, in this show about acting, just how much attention is indeed paid to the acting of the characters. Not so much flashy sakuga, just lots of carefully observed interactions that I came to appreciate a lot as I understood the characters better.
Currently reading: [whoops, forgot this one, editing it in] Ghost in the Shell for fiction. Shirow's manga is fascinating. In some ways you can see all the material that made it out into Production IG's various adaptations, but in some ways the tone is so different, way less dry, way more unabashedly nerdy, the characters much more emotional. I'm fascinated by all the little asides and margin notes by Shirow.
For non fiction, I've got this book called "Queer British Art 1861-1967" by the Tate that I'm steadily reading. It's fascinating, I didn't know shit about most of the people they write about in here.
Current obsession: What do I do that can't be characterised as an obsession really ^^'
But besides work, and writing long posts on here, and drawing pictures, I've been trying to learn music. I mentioned singing, but the other strand is trying to learn the zhonghu. So let me tell you about zhonghus.
This is a Chinese musical instrument, a close sibling of the erhu. Like a violin, it's a bowed instrument; unlike a violin, it's held upright on your lap, it has only two strings, and the bow is held in between them.
The bowstrings are very loose compared to a violin bow, and you use your fingers to press them against one or other string. There is no fingerboard, let alone frets, so pitch depends on how hard you press the strings as well as where your fingers are positioned. Not to mention a million other variables to do with your specific instrument.
The zhonghu and the erhu are almost the same instrument; the zhonghu is tuned slightly lower, similar to a viola compared to a violin. Also? The soundbox is covered by snakeskin, so if you import an erhu (or zhonghu) from China, you have to go to some effort to certify that the snake in question was from a farm and not a wild snake. And you have to be really careful that the bowstring doesn't catch on the scales.
Why am I learning the zhonghu? Well. That's a long story but the tl;dr is my friend suggested I should be a zhonghu player and I was like you know what sure. So now I have her old zhonghu.
Tumblr media
I used to play the violin, but I think the way I learned the violin left a lot to be desired in terms of actually understanding music. I could translate sheet music into finger positions, and fulfill my role in an orchestra for kids, but I lost the thread at uni, where I tried to play with the ceilidh band and found I was completely at sea in a more improvisational setting. Add like a decade of rust on top of that.
So it's safe to say that right now I'm really fucking bad at playing the zhonghu. Nevertheless, I'm trying to persevere. In the month or so since I started, with very irregular practice, I've gone from 'can only make a horrible scratching sound' to 'can play an open string' to 'never hitting a note first try' to 'can mostly hit notes until I try to move my hand', so I'm inching forwards. It's a long way until I can make the kind of beautiful music that the erhu is known for, and I don't have any belief I'll ever be notably good at it, but there's nothing to be lost in trying to learn a new thing, even if it's one that is not coming naturally to me at all. Better to struggle than to go my whole life never picking up an instrument again you know.
Tagging - uhhh let's say - @mogsk @schizsune @sisyphication @catnumbers @argyrocratie @centrally-unplanned @hamiltonianflow @sapeami-scalps-whites [if you'd like, in each case!] The questions are 'last song', 'currently watching', 'currently reading', 'current obsession', answer in as much or little detail as you like

minidura chapter 2 react (izaya has stopped functioning)
i already forgot what i named the last post whoops
anyway
Tumblr media
shizuo jumpscare
as a psychology student who is also taking sociology goddamn do i love the whole community aspect of durarara and the forms. wish i could start a festival in my town just by suggesting it online somewhere. it's so cool how you have no idea of the qualifications of the people you talk to (just like on tumblr except this is all ikebukuro people. and izaya)
i wonder if izaya being the only member of the cast (afaik) to not live in ikebukuro is symbolic of how he feels has to distance himself from the chaos at least a little bit in order to not get swept up in it himself. it's like a self restraint type thing
that's probably really obvious though forgive me im still dutsing off my character analysis lack-of-skills ANYWAY
Tumblr media

EGGPLANTZAYA
i cant wait for izaya to show up this chapter and annoy the living hell out of shizuo
maybe i should make eggplantzaya my profile picture (i wont because im too attached to rantaro. not even him as a character just the profile picture) (also because i cant remember where i found the profile picture and im too scared to let it go)
i see that blurb with the really cute izaya picture on the left and im assuming it's just a "this is orihara izaya btw. he's really annoying and shizuo hates him for ruining his life" type thing but god i wish i could read it anyway ill take any crumbs
Tumblr media
HERE HE COMES!!!!!!!
oh nvm he's getting shafted for now, we transition to-
Tumblr media
WHAT DID I FUCKING TELL YOU
celty in a kimono is inevitable. you cannot escape
she is cute though <3 this might be her first festival since she's irish too damn
that just reminded me god i wish celty talked in a super thick irish accent. some people have already mentioned that but im reiterating it because maybe some abridged series will consider it
Tumblr media
wait oh my god is this gonna be another hotpot party type "izaya organized all this because he's lonely and wants an excuse to hang out with people that tolerate him" thing. amazing wonderful i love the izaya slander going on in this manga today
and i was about to say "oh i guess that wasnt izaya's silhouette in the shizuo-tom panel" but he's holding a chocolate banana 💀rip tom's pay i guess
i can imagine how that went but i dont think ill have to imagine for much longer
Tumblr media
oh yeah it was right in the next panel lmAO at least you got free food izaya dont complain
"he looks like he's having fun" awwwwwwwwwwwww nothing more fun than ticking off shizuo and not getting hurt in the process
just realized he has the constantly closed eyes pff gin ichimaru lookin edgy ass bitch
he opens his eyes like it's a dramatic supervillain reveal but it's really just him being lonely. thanks for always exposing him shinra mwah
Tumblr media
WHY IS HE ACTING SO EVIL. doing the fucking arm spread like this is a bad thing what is wrong with him
i love how mikado shinra and celty are looking at each other like "this fucking guy. cant have one normal conversation"
Tumblr media
PFFFFFFFFFFFF
i know shinra is laughing his ass off beneath those glasses rn
izaya's face is amazing actually. you know that one scene in bungou stray dogs wan where atsushi gets dazai a gift and dazai glitches out and stops processing information because he doesnt know how to handle appreciation. this is literally that scene
huh. now i understand why durarara and bsd always get recommended together
Tumblr media
KILL HIM MIKADO!! KILL HIM WITH KINDNESS HE'S ALREADY HALFWAY TO HELL
literal proof that izaya ceases to function when someone actually likes him. idc that this isn't canon it's canon because i say so
(side note MAN did they have to give airi noticable cleavage even in her chibi form. come on. you didnt do it for celty you dont have to do it to her 😭 the amount of fanservice with her drives me nuts in the main series)
Tumblr media
my man is BROKEN just look at him
Tumblr media Tumblr media
local gay baby realizes he accidentally made everyone happy. oops
walker and erika in the background too <3 they're so cute ugh
Tumblr media
YOU DUMBASS
i knew itd be another hotpot thing oh mygod he's so. fucking idiot you couldve just tagged along with them 😭
it's only once he imagines shizuo that he snaps too pffffffffft
also namie appearance!!!!!!! hope she appears more in future chapters
10/10 chapter would bully izaya again
Tumblr media
oops almost missed the ending drawing!! so cuteeee <3333

I forgot to post that my shirt came in! Whoops…
Here’s a couple pictures!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And here’s the full outfit (hair up & hair down)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I don’t know how I managed to get this last picture, but…I really like it.
Tumblr media
It shows off my hair a lot, which is great! And a bit frizzy, but whatever. It’s genuine. Don’t like it when it’s genuine? You don’t deserve me when I’m dressed to impress.

Mother's Day Post: 20 years in the future
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lenerd: Dadi (Grandmother in Hindi) there you are! Papa is looking for you...apparently the communications office wants more pictures-
Katalina: This piano...is where your grandfather taught all the kids how to play....remember when he tried teaching you?
Lenerd[chuckling]: I've never been musically inclined Dadi...
Katalina [chuckling]: You gave it your best shot Lenny...it's all we've ever asked for....[sighing] just...looking at this piano...reminds me of all the memories with David...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lenerd: Emperor David was a great man. The continent lost an amazing statesman
Katalina: I take it those where your mother's comments?
Lenerd: The most kind she could muster I imagine
Katalina[sighing]: I appreciate them...his initial decision was one I've always vehmently disagreed with
Lenerd: I know Dadi, to have a such fierce champion is an honor.
Katalina: Well...let's go up for those damn pictures...your father is probably losing it.
Tumblr media
Katalina: Your studies are going well? Have you spent enough time with your other siblings? I do hope your mother doesn't begrudge the family by keeping you here a bit more.
Lenerd: They are going well...currently in the submarine module of my courses which I find fascinating! And Mutti understands...coronations are important and she also knows my naval studies are important. I'll be able to bring lessons learned back home. Also, I have gone to see everyone recently....i must admit, it feels a little difficult...I feel split between two places.
Katalina: You are making up for lost time Lenny...
Tumblr media
Lenerd: I feel like an outsider in both places though...it feels isolating...
Katalina: I know the feeling Lenny...all you can do, is be yourself in both places and then people will have to choose whether or not they accept you as you are.
Lenerd: Thank you Dadi
Tumblr media
???: Dadi! Dadi! Lenny! Hurry...they want to do a group picture before we stand on the balcony and everyone is looking for you!
Lenny [chuckling]: Whoops...kinda forgot I was on a mission there
???[whining slightly]: Lenny! Mama is gonna be a soooo upset with you.
Katalina: Then your Mama should come talk to me my Hurricane. I distracted the very vigilant Lenny.
Tumblr media
Katalina: I love you sweetheart
Lenny: I love you too Dadi
???: come onnnn Dadi and Lenny! We gotta go gotta go!
Tumblr media
???: Dadi?
Katalina: Yes little one?
???: When do we get to the cake?
Katalina[chuckling]: After lunch darling.
Lenny: Unless... we beat the Emperor to the dining room and ask the head butler very nicely...since I think the Emperor needs to change...
Katalina [chuckling]: I can see if you both can sneak a small piece before lunch...and before your mother catches you little one.
???: YAY! Thank you Dadi!
Maria Aisha[in the distance]: There you three are! Hurry, I think Louis's about to rip the photographer's head off and Henri may help him....
Katalina: We're coming We're coming...the children are walking an old lady Aisha...

vil with an s/o who is a singer and love music from their orig world
I could probably shorten the title but eh I'm new cut me some slack
being brought to whole other world without knowing anything about it can really take a toll in our little readers hearts
luckily they have their phone with them, music really brings comfort to people. especially because it was the only thing familiar to them. what's in it? well yk only the most heart swelling, gut wrenching, eyes watering, hair pulling music you could ever think of
either that or the most back arching, eyes rolling, butterfly giving music
or yk like a psychopath like me, both. on shuffle
ok neways
vil had known of the prefect, not very hard to
they were the talk of the school, from being magicless, to defeating what like 4 overblots, or being in trouble like every other hour
they were rather infamous to put it nicely
what he didn't know them from is their music
like holy hell, how tf did they get so popular? when did this happen?
well tbh he didn't find out until he saw people discussing about a new underground artist
after that he forgot to search up their name whoops
until he saw a vid from twistedtok raving abt this artist
so he was like eh why not and searched them up
it was yuu(pun not intended) he was kinda surprised like weren't you just fighting jamil 4 weeks ago?
browsing to yours list of song was like browsing through a teenagers diary
angst, angst, oh a horny song, and another one, and another one, and oh wait this sounds like- nvm it's angst
and it was just yuu recreating their fav songs and publishing it cause their phone died and twst doesn't have the same charger things
not me promoting but think somewhat this playlist of mine
you had garnered a lot of attention, for someone who plagiarized /j
don't tell anyone, but vil would totally listen to your music
i mean come on
but he wont admit it, that little bitch
during vdc camp, he would wear them small ear phones and would guard his phone with his life, like no one needs to know abt this
except rook knows, he always knows
and epel, because he once barged in vil's room for smth idk he seems like the type to do that
you only found out because vil asked you to play the song they were supposed to be practicing on. which was supposed to be the most recent one
but when you clicked play it was your song. let me put something totes not embarrassing for the both of you, hmm let's see
i wanna be your slave by maneskin yuu
the song was the next song as the practice song just ended a few seconds prior
silence engulfs the room your voice singing the most vile things anyone from here has ever heard you say
you kinda just froze like what were you supposed to be feeling?
why does it have to be this song?
so you were internally freaking out still frozen as rook puts it on himself to save two prideful beings egos. and walks to you and slowly gets the phone from your grip before pausing the song
while vil was witnessing the end of his life his career with an open mouth
"so you like my songs eh?"
"shut up literally shut up"
wow what a non-toxic way for the beginning of a beautiful bloom of a relationship
there was a lot of songs that reminded you of vil yet you only realized at like 2 months into the relationship
so you began dedicating love songs to him and only him cause like duh he's your so
but like the songs that are erotic and sad like real sad are literally dedicated to no one
cause your a moody little bitch who when even the slightest bit sad release a whole ass song with the most heart breaking lyrics
when asked in an interview on who hurt you, yuu were like
"haha myself"
or like abt those sussy songs
"i was feeling down so i had to cheer myself up"
or those songs dedicated to vil
"i am madly in love"
you two were almost the epitome of a picture perfect couple
almost(i thought abt making an angsty ending but i decided against it)
that bitch rook always steals your thunder
you were performing a new love song to vil and asking his thoughts about posting it
and rook comes up and recites a poem right. in. front. of. you.
you almost grabbed him by the neck and not let go for 30 minutes. by accident of course
so it was like a competition to the both of you
and the vibes were like yuu being like
"homewrecker"
and rook being like
"lmao what you talking abt neways. your skin as fair as snow and as smooth as porcelain-"
cue you throwing a vase at him
overall 10/10 would be a cute relationship

HI ME AGAIN . Glad you appreciate the asks because here's another. I just finished the posted script, and I'll be moving on to the fic soon! There were SO MANY THINGS I loved outside of just the Byler (which I will no doubt scream about via Ao3 once I get to the fic version of those moments), and I started to write them down but only once I got to episode five, so unfortunately I forgot most of them. However here's a few anyway:
All the scenes with El, Lucas, and Max were SO SWEET. Them working together to save and hide her, them talking about love, just—ALL OF. I love that trio in general and the focus on them in the script is great ❤️
Argyle and Will's talk was so sweet :( I especially love the added dimension you gave Argyle in that scene, outside of just "comic relief stoner dude" (and the plants!!! he named the plants after all his friends!!! so SWEET)
That cut from Jonathan incredulously asking Nancy "What? You and Steve just spend all your time—" to Dustin yelling "Fuck!" in frustration was HILARIOUS and I can ABSOLUTELY picture that happening on TV
Robin and Vickie!!! Yes!!! The lesbians are winning!!!!! I almost wish Vickie HAD stayed to see who it was/Steve had just come out before she left bc them meeting would have been... both sweet and hilarious.
Okay I was going to wait to freak out about the Byler-specific stuff because it'll be the main focus of the fic but like. I can't bro. Mike not even HESITATING to jump in after Will? The relief of them finally revealing their secrets and comforting each other (and then the frustration of Mike telling Will his Vecna-vision of Will's corpse is "nothing" IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT CONVO like I get the reasoning but CHRIST dude)? Mike just casually revealing he self-sacrificially jumped into the quarry once before and proceeding to not elaborate AT ALL? And the LETTERS oh my god. When/if ever those get revealed to Will I am going to LOSE IT.
Whoops this got long again - last point. Overall I just... absolutely love this script? All the dialogue and the actions feels so in-character, like I can actually envision it all being said in the show—ESPECIALLY Erica's lines, you have her little middle school snark down PAT.
Okay I am done screaming . For now. Much love ❤️
hi!! sorry it’s taken me so long to answer this, it took me a while to get back in the comment-answering mood😭💗
i’m glad you’re enjoying the elumax plot! they’re very very special to me and i enjoy writing them very much :)
argyle!! i personally love scenes where the “comic relief” character is given unexpected depth, so i was really excited to explore that with him. that moment specifically was inspired by a really great s5 fic (can’t remember the name right now, unfortunately—if anyone knows, please feel free to leave it in the comments!) where argyle brings pizza rolls to the hospital for max and lucas. it was such a sweet moment in that fic, and i really admire how the author treated his character. i wanted to emulate that, at least a little bit!
you are the ONLY PERSON that commented on that moment, thank you so much😭😭😭💗 i was proud of it. feels very much like something the show would do (if they were allowed to say fuck more often!)
ROVICKIEEE💗💗💗 dw she will definitely meet steve eventually!
glad you liked all the byler :) it’s been a couple fics in the making!
thank you so much for the comment, i get really really excited when people comment on my scripts🥹🫶🏻 and yes, erica!! love her to bits :)

Sorry the roof is a little wonky when you're looking up at it. I used the glass roof set from the Ballet Studio collection from the sims 3 store. It looks better from the outside lol. I guess when you're underneath it, it does look a little weird.

I absolutely forgot to share her because I've been so exhausted lately, whoops. My Creeproduction Frankie arrived on Tuesday!
Tumblr media
I absolutely love her. Her hair is soft, her outfit is great. The only problem I really noticed is that her upper arm and leg joints are a bit stiff, but I think I can fix that.
Tumblr media
Here she is with Fangs (g1 Draculaura) and Little Bat (g3 Draculaura). I may post a picture of just Frankie at one point.

I have been achieving everything I was supposed to do tonight, celebrate. I successfully did not forget to post this. Final bit of my Isopods meeting other people thing! This time we gardening with some bunnies! Mostly just a lot of pictures. Admire my mother's handiwork, except for the isopods(and the red bunny) she made it all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kitsune attempting to pull a purple vegtable that I forgot what it was called out of the ground, and a second picture with only Squishy's butt sticking out of the ground. They're going looking for potatoes, but looks like they already found the one that was in that spot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cosmic lifting up a pumpkin that's as big as they are, Ace moving an entire cabbage out of its spot, and Isolotl trying to pull a carrot out of the ground. We got some very strong isopods!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kitsune pushing an entire pumpkin with Squishy barely visible from where they're still in the ground looking for potatoes. Plus Cosmic pushing the potato that was fished out over to the side past the pumpkin.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ace pulling a radish out of the ground and Isolotl attempting to push all of the lettuce out of their way. Hmm, there seems to be a suspicious lack of Axo... wonder where they might be?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Squishy reluctantly emerging from the ground while Cosmic pushes a pumpkin away and Kitsune tries to pull another purple vegetable from the ground. Also Ace pushing some cabbages out of the way.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Isolotl working over time to pull all these carrots and push the remaining lettuce out of the way! Good job!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ace with a raddish on their back, and then Squishy pushing some potatoes out with Cosmic trying to pull another purple vegetable out and Kitsune pushing the last pumpkin out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Squishy doing a good job getting that last potato out of the way with Cosmic and Kitsune working on the last two purple veggies. Plus Ace pulling out another raddish.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Isolotl over here pulling one of the remaining carrots, then pushing the cabbage out of the way...wait Squishy how did you get over here? I thought you were over next to the potatoes. Oh well, at least they're helping get that last carrot out.
Tumblr media
Cosmic and Kitsune helping to get those last cabbages out while Ace works on the radishes again.
Tumblr media
Kitsune putting the very last radish in the pile. That's quite a lot of produce, what will the isopods do with it all?
Tumblr media
Never fear, the bunnies are here to have a little sale! Look at all that fresh produce! So yummy.
Tumblr media
Whoops, looks like Isolotl and Kitsune snuck into the basket!
Tumblr media
Looks like they're not the only isopods in baskets! There's Axo! We were looking for you!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Uh oh, Squishy got stuck! Isolotl's trying to pull them out, but it doesn't seem to be working! Oh good, here's Ace with a shovel to really try and lever Squishy out of there.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Good thing Squishy got out, or they wouldn't be able to help with tending to the garden they tore up! The bunnies need to be able to have a new crop, so its the least the isopods can do.
Tumblr media
Saying their thank you's and goodbyes! It was very nice to see the bunnies and work in their garden! Maybe they can come back sometime. Maybe not to tear up the whooole garden that time.
