i have not been able to stop thinking about this for days. every time i needed you, you were there, and i hated you for that, too. i hated you for that, too. i hated you for that, too.

Becoming a writer is great because now you have a hobby that haunts you whenever you don’t have time to do it

if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.

unsolicited takaraig headcanon because i miss them

i imagine makaraig to have his hair slicked back or just really neatly combed yea? but like his hair is ALMOST ALWAYS fixed. even when he's just gonna stay at home all day, his hair is still all neat

so what i'm saying is imagine tadeo walks in the bedroom and he sees makaraig with his hair down and he just SCREAMS because he doesn't recognize him and thinks a thief broke in, and when makaraig (also in a panic) had to reintroduce himself, tadeo is just disoriented but also suuuper into it because makaraig with his hair down might as well be a whole different person. it almost feels like cheating

tropang nerds/el fili boys version who-knows-anymore

episode 0: that fucking house that i hate

my old el noli sims posts have been getting some attention lately and i am sad to say those are long dead bc of my laptops having conked out in the past. thats why these guys seem to keep getting reborn every generation HAHAHAHHA

BUT THATS OK BECAUSE i made them again !! and i think im really happy with this one, because not only did i make my sims with more custom content than before, but i built their house from scratch. was it painful? absolutely. so this post is gonna be dedicated to me sharing what i did with the house, which i'd like to call as a "bastardized bahay na bato". because it has the vibes but it's not really a faithful creation of one.

i dont even KNOW how long it took me to really work on this since i just did it bit by bit when i had the motivation to do so. i might not even be done since i might think of stuff along the way but for now this is what i got. fun fact, i did not use any custom content for the furniture here. these are all from the game

so the house has a total of three floors, and the general idea of the house was like "19th century ancestral house but there are Some Things about it that take you out of the immersion" lmao. the immediate sign of this is that they have a pool and a hot tub !! the monobloc chairs were a must

also sorry i really fucking love these pizza floaties. i will always use them in my builds when i have the chance

the back of the house doesn't have much, but there is a small inflatable pool for the boys to use if they wanna be lazy tadeo

the first floor, if you'd know from most ancestral houses, is mostly just an empty entryway which i also did, but i had enough space for a couple of rooms, so the boys now have their own gym and bar

make your way up to the second floor and you got the open-space living area + dining table !! (+ bonus cameos from some of the boys. you might recognize them but i'll do a separate post reintroducing them hehe)

heading past the archway is the kitchen and some emo boy in all black standing there. wonder who that could be !!

that door by the kitchen leads to the outside balcony area, which i admittedly got lazy cluttering LMAOOO but it's cute ig. you could play chess outside overlooking the waters

the third floor is basically the hobby area, where the boys can hang out and play games !! this is also where their bedrooms are

the bathroom is genuinely nothing special, but to satiate your curiosity, this is just how it looks lmao. btw having 8 men share like two bathrooms (+ 1 room thats just a toilet and sink) is not fun. they keep walking into each other in the shower/toilet.

now for the bedrooms, i decided to pair them up because my ass was not gonna make 8 BEDROOMS for them. so the pairings here would be basilio + isagani, placido + juanito, pecson + sandoval, tadeo + macaraig

IDEALLY, they all get together and share the bed, because i only put One Bed in each room. but because i haven't gotten around to hooking them up together, they all just sleep by shifts because they don't want to share a bed with a "stranger" LMAOOOOO

basilio + isagani

i went for a dark aesthetic for this one, inspired by basilio's All-Black fit in the novel and my headcanon of isagani being into emos or goths lmaoo. this is the only bedroom that doesnt have a TV in it btw, since i imagined theyre the most "unwired" members of the group. they prefer studying and reading books instead of watching tv.

the clutter i think is mostly's basilio's. he's the one who has the macabre looking items like the bird skull on the ladder, the urn, and the anatomy doll in the corner (for med school), and isagani would just have his lil notebook for his poems, the native-inspired pictures on the wall, and then a couple of books. ps the boat on the top of the ladder is a reference to bapor tabo from el fili kab 2 heheheh

also if you want to know what that white grill is in the corner, it's the aircon. the sims is so advanced these days in terms of build-buy items honestly

placido + juanito

the yellow + green aesthetic i think was me subconsciously thinking about mhizzy's penilaez art and how they were color coded yellow and green HAHAHAHA but it worked out cuz it looks super cute !!

i'll leave it up to you to guess who owns the teddy bear. i just thought it was cute and matched the vibe of the bedroom.

as you can imagine, juanito is responsible for all the gaming items in the room. it kinda had me wondering how do i incorporate "placido" into the aesthetic since his whole gist is not being like any of his peers with hobbies... so i imagine that suitcase with the books is his, referencing how hes very much attached to batangas and probably returns to the province whenever he can. also my headcanon now is he has a guilty pleasure for scented candles, so the candles by the nightstands are his. one candle looks like a latte and the other, a bowl of chocolate chip cookies.

tadeo + macaraig

interesting enough, this is like the most uninspiring bedroom i've made from the four HAHAHA i think it's because i don't think macaraig would allow so much Clutter to be in his space at all, so even if he shares a room with tadeo, there won't be a lot of mess. as a result, the bedroom looks kind of devoid of life (there's a commentary to be made here about the intermingling of social status and minimalism vs maximalism but that's for another day) i think i'm also partially held back by how i imagined macaraig's bedroom to look like in general, so i think whatever i do is always gonna be underwhelming to what i imagine. but at least that painting above the bed is like 6k simoleons.

the dresser with the pitcher and bowl in the corner is a reference to the lavandera (basically a portable sink??) that most wealthy families in 19th century ph would have in their bedrooms. also it's not obvious from this angle, but the left side of the bed is tadeo's, since it has his headphones and his refillable cup

i also think macaraig would have a thing for collecting vinyls, so he has a vinyl record player in the room. also can't forget the perfume on the vanity dresser + the letters, a reference to the castilian academy petition

pecson + sandoval

i feel like this one will keep changing as i play along, because the vibe i wanted for this bedroom is basically: what if sandoval just bought a shit ton of souvenirs in the philippines so his room just has a lot of clutter, and pecson is just like, "holy shit stop falling for these scams ???? you know they probably just imported those magnets right ????" so the bedroom aesthetically looking like a mess is intentional on my part lmao. pulling this out of my ass as well but i'd like to think it's also a way to represent how pecson and sandoval themselves are clashing with each other through all the clashing patterns in the room.

AAAAAND that's all i got for now !! i also just found out from this that there's a limit of 30 photos per post so that's gonna be fun <3

i'll share the boys next time, when i have the time. ayan wala akong pinangako ah. para wala kayong maaasahan sa akin CHAR. bai baiiii

Hating specific ships as a multishipper is so funny. It's like: "I'm cool with most ships. Except that one. It knows what it did."
