Modern AU! Codywan👮‍♂️

I stole this design from my drawing last year lol

↑I drew this AU again...

I haven't decided what Cody does for a living in this fic, but I'm starting to think Detective Cody might be a good idea... 🤔

[sapphicseasapphire]

I have discovered that I can not draw perspectives for the life of me, so I can’t draw this, but it is a funny thought. So I am sharing it.

The chain is playing concentration and the category is deities.

Sky: Demise

Legend: Din

Four: Vaiti

Time: Me. Wait. Uh.

That’s it. That’s the thought.

This is so much funnier if you imagine that this is how the God Reveal goes. He can still play it off!! Best case scenario, he sucks at concentration. Worst case scenario, he’s outed himself in front of the three people who’d be most upset with him.

“Nononono wait wait wait-”

Also, Sky’s in love with a Goddess and the first deity that came to his mind was Demise? He definitely 100% said that to get under Time’s skin. Maybe it wasn’t Time’s mistake after all. Maybe it was targeted. Our sweet little Skybird looked Time dead in the eye and said the name of the God that he’d killed. He had to have known.

(I’m adding my own context here, sorry, I can’t help it haha!)

Thank you so much for sharing this!

🍑🍎🍍 for the ask game!

Hello friend, thanks for the ask! I won't answer peach as it's being answered elsewhere but:

🍎 Is there anything you straight-up won’t write?

Hmmm. There's a lot of stuff actually... (but first and foremost zero hate to anyone that does, it's fiction and everyone's free to do as they please). But any tentacle stuff is a no go. Also I for some reason cannot get behind Mer/Selkie AUs (but I do love marine science!). There's stuff on a more serious note too, but I'm way too sleep deprived to trust myself to write it down here.

🍍 What kind of AUs do you like? Are there any AUs you hate or just generally have beef with?

Alright I have to come clean, I detest coffee shop AUs. It's silly but I tend to like characters who have a weird life experience or powers or an identity that is exceptionally impressive (and I tend to try and be loyal to canon characterizations). So Barista Clark Kent is not something I can get behind. Now fire fighter Clark Kent absolutely. Spy Clark Kent works too. But not the coffee shops ones, or the high school ones with no powers.

HI I saw Penelope and I just need to know: Has anyone ever suggested that considering Penelope is Spartan she could totally lift and carry around her trophy wife husband? Because that lives in my brain rent free.

IF YOU WANT PENELOPE STUFF, YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE!!! I think about this woman constantly.

Though my Penelope is a 3/4 naiad buff gal, she's...smol.

She's a lil boxer but she'd be in the lightweight class. She could knock him out but she can't like, full carry him somewhere else without dragging him a lil. :') She's fast as fuck too and of course, an incredible swimmer. (Helen is a better wrestler though)

As Odysseus is around 5'11 in mine and she's at 5'. She was born in a creek and that affects naiads in their appearance, so...she's small. And it's something that she's pretty insecure about. She uses the fact that she's "unassuming" to her advantage. She's very much a strategist and is very good at hitting weakpoints.

She can lift him off the ground but with their height difference and with him being "godlike" and probably 200+ pounds of muscle, they'd probably lose balance and topple over :P

And Penelope would rather climb her husband like a tree or yank him down for a kiss than to ask him to bend down for her 😤 Probably not above her head. She would fucking try though.

She can easily lift him with water though ᕙ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕗ

Flowers Can Grow in Concrete C11

N’s sensors fluttered online. Wha-Where? Uzi? Not hot? N released his tail from the rebar and landed on the ground. Oh Right! V said she would take care of Uzi for me! Then told me to get some sleep and oil! I need to thank her!

N jogged over to where he was sleeping before, and his core melted.

V was sleeping like a big cat with a slight curve. Uzi was sleeping against her, using her like a pillow. V’s tail swayed from her head to the end of her legs, Having it to where she could stab anyone. Her right arm had a claw but her left arm had a hand. She was resting her head on her left arm, and her right was Infront of her head.

Awwwwh! V’s is sooo sweet! N stepped a bit closer, but the crunch of a dead roboroach gave him away. V didn’t move but she hissed, moved her claws, and her tail flicked toward N. N stepped back a bit, and V stopped. Well then. I'll let her be. Uzi probably wore her out.

N turned around and saw that J was gone. Strange. Normally she wakes one of us up, or waits for us so we can hunt. Oh well. Oh! I should go put Uzi’s mom’s body where she wanted! Oh, I never got her name… Oh well.

N flew to the body, he had already imputed the cords into his map.

—————

When N arrived He saw that the slab had been moved. Did J find it!? I hope not. Please be the same, not shredded?

N moved the slab and looked at the body. Lilac hair, Grey dress, black helmet.

He got a good look at the body, The head was cut off with a bit of the torso at an angle. N grabbed both parts of the body, and saw a duffle bag beside her. That might be for Uzi… I’ll get to that in a bit. And N took off.

—————

Once N arrived at the location he looked around. “She wrote down to toss her into the pit. Now where is that?” But then his question was answered, there was scaffolding right above a pit, it looked like a void. And N dropped the body in there. “Bye Uzi’s mom. I hope I can make you proud.” and N flew back to the bag.

—————

“I wonder what’s in the bag!” N practically yelled as he walked into the spire. V growled at him for being so loud “Oh! Sorry V!” N quickly added in a hushed voice. So she’s still sleeping. Best to let them rest, although Uzi should get up, she needs to be on our schedule. N looked at the two. But that can wait, after all, we have at least 13 more years together. Hopefully?

N opened the bag and inside was a few packs of batteries, toys, books for kids and adults, plenty of note books, lots of clothes, and a laptop. “She was truly packing to escape… What was in there? Where is her dad?”

N climbed into the landing pod to wait for them to wake up.

“N why are you here? Thought you had a kid to take care of.” J said bluntly

“V isn’t letting me get close… So I grabbed the bag that the mom had.”

“Why? She wouldn't let you near your kid?” J questioned him.

“They're both sleeping?”

“Still!? They were asleep at dawn and they're still asleep!?” J’s voice was rising

“Uzi likes to play in the middle of the day… Maybe that’s what happened?” N shifted the bag around.

“Why the hell am I even talking to you!?” J was yelling at this point, it looked like she was boiling with hatred.

“And you clearly aren’t in the mood for a friendly chat, so I’ll be on my way.” And N proceed to leave. I don’t need to be yelled at right now, thank you very much!

“Are you leaving while we’re talking!? I’m not done talking yet!” J shouted at him, but N didn’t care. I'm not going to be a part of the reason they wake up. V will most likely kill me.

As N left, J followed suit, Still yelling. A cross popping veins was displayed on his screen above an eye. J.

“-ND YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST LEAVE!? WELL YOU  HAVE ANOTHER THING COMING AT Y-” N pointed his right arm at her, a sword right by her throat. One of his eyes turned into a ‘X’

“Shut. UP!” J looked confused and startled

“J. I don’t care what you do. Just leave Uzi out of it.” And V. “So that means letting her sleep, So shut up or I will.” His had turned into a long blade.

“You don’t have the guts to!” J was angry, fuming, yet, nervous?

N moved the sword to where it was touching the metal “Oh I sure don’t” N said in a dull but mocking tone as he lifted the sword away from her neck. J looked from the sword to N then back.

“Tch! Just what I thought! Your Wea-AHAHAGAHGAAGHAGAGHEE!” J screamed as N chopped her arm off. Dull expression staying.

“Leave me and my family Alone. Or your neck will be Next.” N pulled his sword to his side.

J’s eyes were filled with worry, then she snarled at him and took off to her nest.

“Hey, good job. Never thought I’d see you stand up to J. Twice even.” N turned around. The dull, life sucking. Plain gray look on his face. The ‘X’ over his eye was greeted by V, who was still lying down.

N visor quickly became one of a soft smile. “Ehn. It was nothing! I was just thinking about Uzi and I didn’t want Uzi to wake up to us yelling.” You included…

“Need me to get you anything? You look kinda stuck…”

“That's an understatement, all of my joints are frozen!” V gave N a face of pure annoyance.

“Well you tail is still mov-”

“Besides that! I can’t even move my neck!” Her tail was moving back and forth, increasing in speed with each sway.

Uzi’ eyelights were flicking open, she was awake now. Her eyes were tracking V’s tail. As the tail veered closer to Uzi, she grabbed it and bit down on the wire.

“AHAHAGGGG-LET-GOOOO” V looked like she was trying to move, yet she couldn’t. N was trying to hide his smirk. “N! HELPPPPP!” N jumped closer to V.

“Uzi! V doesn’t like that! Can you stop please?!” Uzi pulled the tail out of her mouth but kept holding it.

Uzi looked side to side, then a mischievous look appeared. “Nu.” And she bit back down. V screamed bloody murder.

“OW-OW-OW-OW-OW-LET-GOOOOO!” V was stuck. N grabbed Uzi, who was still gnawing on the tail. N could only think of one thing to stop Uzi. So N proceeded to tickle her.

“AHAHAHAHAHA-NOOOO!!” Uzi had dropped the tail and V got up. “No fair! I was having fun!”

“And that fun was hurting V! You need to be kind to V and me!”

“Yes, or I’ll give you flying lessons.”

“Yay!” Uzi said, pumping her arms in the air.

“That’s not a punishment?”

“She doesn’t have any wings?”

“V! Noooo!” V just gave a sly grin.

Valicer In The Dark: "A Murder Shared Is A Murder Thirded" Outline!

Hello everyone -- I recently started work on the second Valicer In The Dark story, "A Murder Shared Is A Murder Thirded" (aka the one where they kill Bumby), and I thought it might be neat to share with you guys the outline I prepared for the story! Especially since I don't have any Sims 4 stuff to share on Wednesdays at the moment, thanks to the Chill Valicer Save file no longer functioning. :( I have plans for a successor, but it's going to take a little bit to get off the ground, so...

*shakes head* Anyway -- outline! My planning process for this story involved approaching it like it was an actual Blades In The Dark score -- complete with deciding on the type of plan the gang was going to use (and the detail they needed to provide), the loads they were going to have (and thus how much stuff they could actually carry), and doing actual rolls to figure out how the story would progress as they encountered various obstacles! (I, uh, may have purchased actual BITD-themed dice and a dice tray explicitly for this purpose. ^^;) However, I also took a moment to note down any "must-happen" moments in the fic first -- basically, any particularly important or cool bits that were going to occur no matter WHAT the dice said. Reason being, I've done some "rolling for something on the spot" fic-writing in the past with a friend, and I know how fucking frustrated I get whenever a dice roll ruins the cool thing that was supposed to happen in my head. Noting down the things I was DETERMINED to have happen and doing all the rolls BEFORE I actually started writing meant that I couldn't get angry at a good moment being ruined. Though actually, as you'll see, the dice were pretty kind to the trio in this score! I guess they wanted to make sure they succeeded in their task as much as I did. :) So, without further ado, here's the outline/score summary for "A Murder Shared Is A Murder Thirded!" Naturally, there will be spoilers for what happens in the fic, but I'll put most of it behind a cut, and you guys already know I have no care for spoiling my own stuff on here. XD

---

Score: Infiltrate the Houndsditch Home For Wayward Youth in Charhollow, find proof of Bumby’s activities, and preferably kill the bastard

Plan Type: Stealth (I mean, there’s going to be an element of Assault, but first they have to get in)

Detail: Point of Infiltration – the back door into the basement kitchen of the house

Loads: Alice – Light; Victor – Light; Smiler – Light (each have three load slots)

Have To Happen Moments:

The gang successfully make it to Alice’s room so she can get her stuff; possible heartfelt moment when they see the picture of her family on her wall

The gang successfully finds Bumby’s ledger in his office (inside a safe stowed away in a hidden drawer of his desk; it’s generally opened via Lizzie’s key but can be picked)

Bumby shows up, and Alice reclaims Lizzie’s room key and blows him up

Gang successfully escapes with the ledger, and run into Smiler’s parents Matt and Carol as they head out of town; they’re taken back to the Ministry Of Joy for the Names (aka night)

Engagement Roll:

+1 d for sheer luck

+1 d for being bold or daring (they’re trying to expose a known philanthropist as a child pimp)

+1 d for exposing a vulnerability of the target (Dr. Bumby has written off Alice as lost in the city and hired a new dogsbody, AND he doesn’t think she’d ever get anyone to help her if she did tell anyone about his activities)

3d total

Result: 1, 2, 4 – Mixed result, risky position – they get in the back door without incident, but Alice’s replacement June comes into the kitchen as they’re preparing to head up the stairs

Score Rolls:

As per the above, trio encounters June coming into the kitchen shortly after their successful infiltration and have to get past her – Smiler immediately introduces themselves and explains that they were hoping to meet with Dr. Bumby to see if they could form a partnership, as they believe their alchemical prowess would help the man in his work (they are indeed cringing on the inside as they say this) – Sway, 2d – 6! June believes them and sends them up to see Dr. Bumby with the other two

Safely inside the house, Victor gets the idea for Alice to get her stuff from her room before they proceed further (having already suggested they grab it before they went); Alice agrees with this and they grab her things (1 load for Victor, who I picture as carrying the bag)

Head up the stairs to Bumby’s office, encounter one of the children (Abigail? Charlie?) in the upstairs hallway, who naturally recognizes Alice and wants to tell Dr. Bumby she’s back – Alice tries to tell them no, with Smiler backing her up by claiming they want to surprise him – Command, 3d (+1 for Smiler’s help, 1 stress for Smiler; +1 for pushing herself, 2 stress for Alice) – 5. The kid agrees not to go tell Dr. Bumby right now, but it’s clear that they will tell him the next time they see him… Start a “Bumby Shows Up” clock as a result, four pieces, none ticked so far

Into the office before Dr. Bumby shows up! Time to find that ledger… The trio split up – Alice examines the bookshelf, Victor checks Dr. Bumby’s desk, Smiler looks around for anything that might give them a clue as to where the ledger might be

Alice – Study, 2d (+1 for pushing herself, stress up to 4) – 6! She doesn’t find the ledger in the bookshelf, but she does find a book safe with some money in it – +1 Coin for the gang to take with them!

Victor: Study, 2d (+1 for pushing himself, 2 stress for Victor) – 5. Victor finds a secret drawer with a safe in it – but, well, unsurprisingly, it’s locked, and opening it will take a bit (+1 to the “Bumby Shows Up” clock, 3 segments left)

Smiler: Survey, 2d (+1 for pushing themselves, stress up to 3) – 6! While Victor finds the safe, Smiler notes the windows on the side of the office and determines that it would be safe for the group to exit via one of them if they had the appropriate means to do so – cue them going “good thing I brought some rope!” and setting it up for them to climb down (one load ticked for Smiler)

That safe looks like it’s important – shame it’s locked! Smiler offers to try and pick it (flashback to them finding some lockpicks in Elder Gutknecht’s library – as they have, or will have, the “Pack Rats” special ability as Shadows, I will let them squeak by with no stress for this – probably does count as load for them, so that’s a second slot ticked) as Alice and Victor keep watch for Bumby or other suspicious children – Tinker, 2d – 5. Smiler gets the safe open, but Alice hears what sounds like someone coming up the steps… (+1 to the “Bumby Shows Up” clock, 2 segments left)

However – safe is open, and there is indeed a ledger inside! A ledger that is very clearly about selling off children to pedos, and in fact contains some notes from Bumby about the work that he does...and how much Alice reminds him of Lizzie. Everyone is notably disgusted, and Alice angrily wishes that she could get that room key off him, but agrees that it’s better to try and escape. The ledger is thus shoved in the bag, and Victor closes up the safe and stores it back in the secret drawer, before the trio try to stealthily head down the rope leading outside –

Alice – Prowl, 1d – 6! Alice is shockingly stealthy and gets down like a fucking ghost

Victor – Prowl, 1d – 4. Victor is not so stealthy and hits the wall once – he doesn’t make THAT much noise, but it’s definitely noticeable… (+1 to the “Bumby Shows Up” clock, 1 segment left)

Smiler – Prowl, 1d (+1 for pushing themselves, stress up to 5) – 4. And Smiler is also not particularly stealthy, losing their balance as they get off the rope and falling over – just loud enough for someone to notice! (+1 to the “Bumby Shows Up” clock – full!)

And that someone is Bumby, who entered his office at just that moment, saw the rope hanging out of his window, and stuck his head outside to see Alice and two other people, one of whom is carrying a bag. He naturally assumes that she’s stolen SOMETHING from him (even if he doesn’t yet suspect it is his ledger) and starts yelling at her – Alice blasts him as an abomination and reveals that she knows exactly what he’s been doing. Bumby is first like “oh come on, who would believe–” And THEN it registers “wait, she’s here with two other people, SHIT SOMEONE BELIEVES HER” and scrambles out of the office himself on the rope. Fortune roll for how gracefully he gets down, 2d because I imagine he has decent Prowl to get kids to customers – 4. He gets down, but like Smiler he lands badly and is off-balance for a bit –

And Alice, seeing an opportunity, darts in and grabs his watch-chain, ripping Lizzie’s room key off it, while shoving the electroplasm bomb (tick one load for Alice) into his hands. As this is a must-win scene for the fanfic, this Skirmish, 2d roll is only to determine the consequences to her – 4. She gets the bomb in his hands before he can retaliate, and he goes up a treat...but unfortunately, poor June has come out of the kitchen, attracted by the noise, and promptly starts screaming as Bumby goes up, forcing the trio to flee VERY FAST (Smiler yelling “sorry!” behind them) – they are not a crew yet, but they will start being one with 1 Heat on their tracker as a result!

However, score is officially a SUCCESS! :D The trio run until they’re sure they’re not being pursued, then take a moment to celebrate their victory, with Alice being very happy that she was indeed able to kill the bastard (even if she accidentally traumatized her replacement – she’ll want to make up for that later if she can). Talk then turns to getting the ledger to someone who will be able to publicize Bumby’s misdeeds – And then someone says “Smiler?” nearby, and Smiler recognizes their parents! They run over for hugs and introduce Matt and Carol Alton to their new friends. Matt and Carol are very nice and warmly greet Victor and Alice – Alice, feeling a little guilty, apologizes for getting Smiler into some trouble and preventing them from coming home sooner. Matt and Carol are confused, so the trio explain the Barkis situation and the whole “turns out he was a Spirit Warden and the Bluecoats think we murdered him” thing – And Matt and Carol go, “Oh! No, the actual Spirit Wardens confirmed he was an imposter who killed one of their own and stole their kit, and that his corpse showed signs of being very recently possessed before it burned, so you’re in the clear!” Victor, Alice, and Smiler are a bit “…” over this, as you might imagine. Carol jokes that, “oh come on, it’s not like you killed anyone else, right?” [significant silence] “...right?” Fortunately, this is when Victor hands over the ledger, with Alice and Smiler explaining a bit more about what just happened – after a look inside, Matt and Carol are like, “Oh, yeah, that murder was TOTALLY justified, good job.” They tell them that they can send it onto a reporter of their acquaintance, the lady who runs Publick Occurrences, and that Victor and Alice can stay the night in the Ministry of Joy if they want. As the trio have spent two days since the end of “Start At The Beginning...Sort Of” living in a house with no running water or heat, in one set of clothes, they are more than amendable to this suggestion, and the story probably ends with them on the way to the MOJ.

I think I need to get the special blog subs secret dashboard strat set up, I'm noticing I've been way more reluctant to follow new people than I used to be and I think it's because I'm afraid of drowning out my Dearest Ones. It's possible I haven't found all the cool kids yet
