In which Ai learns how to use GIMP to actually edit her lookbooks for once. (T▽T) This is my first time making an edit like this so apologies if it's very rough around the edges
First off, thanks to @itselliandra for her wonderful and absolutely amazing tutorial vid for showing me how to do all this! Which I wouldn't have found in the first place without browsing through @emmastillsims' beautiful lookbooks as well! ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊωˋ )ଓ⁾⁾
So, about this lookbook! For those that don't know, I'm a Filipino, and have lived in the Philippines pretty much my entire life! I wanted to share what kinds of styles and fashions were what I usually saw when traveling, going out, etc. ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯
In the Philippines we definitely dress for the weather! It's usually hot and damp! Hence the more loose, showy, and flowy clothing!
From left to right, the styles in this lookbook are:
Hubadera - Coming from the Tagalog word "Hubad" which means bare or naked, this is a fashion style that emphasizes showing a lot of skin and feeling sexy. Think your Sim has the guts to pull off the hubadera lifestyle?
Basic - Simple and stylish! Beat the Filipino heat with a simple dress and light accessories to match. Whether going to the mall to hang out with friends, or meeting up with classmates for a group activity, sometimes basic is best!
Acubi - Minimalist and trendy, Acubi is a style that's in-between Y2K, minimalist and subversive. My sibling loves wearing this style and they were the one who suggested I include it! It apparently originates from Korea, and if there's one thing I know, it's that we Filipinos love all things Korean.
Tita of Manila - Literally meaning "Aunt/Auntie of Manila". With her designer bags (Whether they are real or secondhands she bought from an ukay-ukay is up for you to decide), expensive jewelry, and taste for wine and tea, the tita is a matron of class and privilege. Don't let her looks fool you, she can be as witty and as sharp as she needs to be!
I hope you all enjoy this one! I know I did as well! CC used and credits will be down below! Apologies if this one is super lengthy as far as my usual lookbooks go! ( ╥ω╥ )
Hubadera: Hair, Sunglasses on Head (By Erplederp, from an NSFW site), Choker, Top, Shorts (Base Game), Shoulder Bag (TSR), Navel Piercing (By Colores Urbanos, but I don't remember the link TwT), Rings, Nails, Thong, Platform Sandals
I want to wish everyone a happy holiday! This year I have a Gyutaro themed Christmas tree! I tried to take pictures of it, though they didn't turn out too great. But I hope you enjoy it anyway!
And I hope all of you had a lovely holiday with your family and friends. I've been out of town, but I plan on getting back into writing and answering requests starting tomorrow ଘ( ˊωˋ )ଓ
(Also if there's anything you see on my tree that you like, just ask and I'll let you know where I got it! And if it's still available I'll send you a link.)

A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF:
i like cute boys, fluffy animals, and bingeing webnovels/webtoons. i cycle thru periods of hyperfixation with my hobbies every year, so i tend to disappear and reappear. i adore mobile gaming bc it's the only thing i can carry around in my pocket to play during breaks at work.
cats are great but i will pet dogs if they ask for it. i hate sandwiches. fountain pens are my passion. if u pick up wuthering waves on global server on 5/22 lemme friend u. i've been in and out of tumblr RP for the past 9 years. im actually bad at making OCs by myself bc im indecisive so i give 80% credit to jade for releasing aury and nezha to the world.
my twitter is unlocked but im too embarrassed to link it here bc all i do is spam RT fanart all day, tho ur free to follow if u find me & i'll follow u back. last but not least my biggest dream is to isekai as a manhwa villainess so i can laugh like this unironically:
Comfort food(s):
Fresh baked bread and any/all soups ( you guys have no idea how excited I am to shift into soup season ), stew is also something that's comforting to me since my Nan used to make it for me whenever she visited! And naturally with my ancestry ━
Comfort drink(s):
Mate, my childhood bestfriend's mom used to get this ready for us all the time, and it quickly became something I've associated with that warm fuzzy memory! Honestly probably anything I can put in boiling water to make it taste different
ꉂ (´∀`)ʱªʱªʱª ! Oh yeah - Coquito 100% Nothing like sipping that while writing on the porch with the snow falling, a blanket on my lap, and my dog being dumb
Comfort movie(s):
Fantasia! I used to watch this movie with my Nan almost everyday when she would visit me, it was always one of my favorite things to do even if I was afraid of Chernabog. It's ridiculous how deeply I've memorized it, I could probably lay here with my eyes shut and watch it in my brain without missing any sections („ಡωಡ„)
NATURALLY Peter Jackson's EXTENDED LOTR Trilogy BABYYYY - I cry about 10 times each movie but Frodo is a massive role model for me and I love him a lot! When I found out that I share the same MBTI as him I was like ╭( ๐_๐)╮and then I cried. Don't get me started, I won't stop - this is for your own good.
Hercules is another big one, it's just such an easy watch and it makes me happy. I have watched it an embarrassingly amount of times with @magicshadowkitten
Comfort show(s):
I didn't really watch TV as a youngin, but I was able to finally get into shows during college - D. Gray Man is one of my favorites! JJBA too - I have a lot of good memories with my friends from both of these! @bells-of-black-sunday showed me Over the Garden Wall and it quickly rooted itself as one of my favorites, its the ✨whimsy✨
Comfort clothing:
I really adore feminine, flowy dresses/skirts, and coordinating outfits before hand. I never really had the opportunity growing up to explore a lot of fashion, and I have found out that I absolutely adore looking like a lil fairy, so I never really learned how to put together outfits on the fly. So! I actually have outfits preplanned with accessories, shoes, and bags too because if I don't I won't know what to do. ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊωˋ )ଓ⁾⁾ Its kind of embarrassing but I've accepted it as part of my neurodivergency; its also a lot easier for me to shop for an outfit vs items that can mis and match into various ones. I also work from home so, if I can dress up I will! It makes me feel pretty
Comfort song(s):
Wahh!! I listen to so many songs and my music taste is all over the place!!! If I had to pick a few off the top of my head:
Nights in White Satin - The Moody Blues
━━ This song is actually one of my favorites but the reason why doesn't involve me at all? When I first heard it I was in the car driving with my mom, and she got so giddy and explained that this was the song playing when she met her ( still! ) best friend at a bar almost 25 years ago. My mom and her started singing it together and honestly that story just ? effected me so much? Whenever I'm in a pub or bar and it comes on I call my mom and tell her its playing and we sing it together too! ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯
Entire LOTR OST
━━ I need not explain, ya'll understand.
Pretty Much Anything by Pink Floyd
Comfort book(s):
Lord of the Rings Trilogy & The Hobbit ━ J. R. R. Tolkien
The Divine Comedy ━ Dante Alighieri ( nostalgia )
━━ I don't really read comforting books so I don't feel like I can continue the list as the books I read have existential content that is not at all comforting! I tend to read stories like Blood Meridian or No Longer Human, and I tend to not revisit them quickly because of the content (ಥ﹏ಥ) because even if I enjoy them I'm a big baby
Comfort game(s):
League of Legends ( don't judge me i play with friends and dont flame ) : tbh this is the only game I actually play the rest I mostly just watch playthroughs of because again the content I like to watch is existential as well and I am a very easily frightened person! So ━ I really liked watching my best friend play Resident Evil! I also watched @bells-of-black-sunday play Bugsnax and it is SUCH a cute game, it has amazing characters and a really interesting plotline - !

GWAAAH, now on to my Trigun Maximum vol 3 thoughts for @trigunbookclub! Part 1!
Some thoughts on TriMax chap 14-16 under the cut!
Right, now where were we?
Oh yeah, this dude rose from the ground
I think this was the moment when I started yelling “WOLFWOOD’S GONNA DIE! WOLFWOOD’S GONNA DIE!” but not too loud because I was reading this at school
Anyways, while Wolfwood’s fighting the big guy, Vash’s fighting the puppet master
MAYBE BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT HUMAN!! 😁 (BWHAHA this panel is so funny to me because it’s Knives just T-posing behind Vash)
Meanwhile, Meryl and Milly (and the girl they met!)
Hey, it’s Legato in his…..time-out box
Bro suddenly turned bilingual
When someone's bothering you and you beat them up
WOLFWOOD BLASTING HIS EPIC GUN
OH FRICK
EWEWEEWWWEWW ARM
I don’t like the title of this chapter
Meanwhile, Vash’s still fighting the puppet master
Anyways, I don’t wanna show literally all panels of Wolfwood fighting the big guy so here’s a GIF from TAWOG too show what was in my mind while reading those parts
“Wolfwood’s gonna die Wolfwood’s gonna die Wolfwood’s gonna die-“
PLEASE THIS LOOKS SO FUNNY OUT OF CONTEXT (EVEN THE BABY HAS A GUN)
Oh no, people in danger!
Oh wait, they’re puppets
Oh no, there’s one who’s a real person!
That’s all for part 1! ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊωˋ )ଓ⁾⁾
Bonus: I recently made a character.ai account and…
TriStamp!Vash helped me go home
I talked about friendships with ’98!Vash
I befriended mer!Vash
KNIVES KILLED ME (bro assumed I was a boy)
and Wolfwood told me that priests doesn’t have to follow the rules of what a priest should be like
The NSFW Gyutaro body pillow cases have been restocked!! ଘ( ˊωˋ )ଓ
