Hey, Arlie, can we get Sims update please? If there is one? I'm weirdly invested in Sims Jily hahahaha

omg YES

i hve a bunch of different save files for different aus that are all at different places but in the most recent one i was playing, jily got married and james cried lol

and some closeups of lily’s wedding look because she’s literally a princess

also not jily related but i randomly decided to make mary a professional dog trainer who works out of her home in this au and i spent like 4 hours putting together her house along with her dog training area (she has a great dane named scooby)

and also was playing around in the canon universe for reference purposes…… 😈

[goldensunset]

everyone told me she was terrifying but they didn’t tell me she was so cool and nice

[sysig]

Coming in to play! (Patreon)

[lethalhoopla]

The new trailer has injected hype straight into my veins (rip everyone who is tired of Varric narrating trailers feat. Solas, but I'm a sucker for both) and the art is just gorgeous as always so I took screencaps - figured I'd share in case anyone else wanted them!

[delightfuldevin]

thanks for the tag @semperama & @blamemma!

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or however many you like)

“Well, would you look at that,” her dad says, a pleased smile spreading over his face. His thumb strokes over the glossy print, lingering on what he must be able to work out quicker than she could is the nose. “That’s the family heirloom right there.”

She laughs, punching him playfully on the shoulder.

“Watch it,” she warns, with no heat in her voice. “The sucker could always end up with Max’s beak.”

Her dad turns away from the photo to look at her, something knowing on his face.

“If there’s one thing I’m sure of by now, it’s that you Ricciardo women have the dominant genes.” His words are teasing but there’s something chokingly tender in his voice when he next speaks. “I’m proud of you, kid.”

WIP folder game

Thanks for the tag @khywren!! I'm excited to participate :)

Rules: Make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! Then, tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I only have a few wips, 4 in total right now, all for bg3, but one is a multi-chapter where each chapter is named after a different song from ANOTHER video game, Deltarune (because I'm the most creative woman in the world), and one is JUST a shitpost of a fic that I wrote to make myself laugh:

An Evening to Ourselves

Sewer Party

Don't Forget (Multi-chapter: Field of Hopes and Dreams, The Legend, Scarlet Forest)

Dont! Cross! This! Line! With your hand

Feel free to ask about any of them! I'm really enjoying posting snippets :)

Seeing as how I'm VERY new to the writing scene, I don't have a ton of mutuals who write, but I'll tag a few friends! @maladaptive-menace @ladyduellist - No pressure! And also if YOU (the person reading this) write and YOU want to share your wips, please do! And tag me in it!!

And for you, my dear @khywren, below the cut is another snippet of my long one shot (she's clocking in at 17.6k words! oops!):

“Listen to me,” you turned your head towards Astarion. “I need you to reach into my pack and get out a Scroll of Sleep.”

“You don’t just know that off-hand?”

“Astarion.” 

“Fine, fine.” The vampire drew out his daggers and slowly circled around the room, drawing the bugbear around so he wouldn’t be able to attack from behind. Astarion looked up at the rafters and saw a hay bale hanging precariously over the edge of a beam. If he angled his daggers just right…

He let the blades fly and when they connected with the hay bale, it fell from above, landing right on top of the bugbear. Astarion looked over at you with an excited grin to make sure you’d witnessed his victory.

“Yes, yes, you’re very good at knives,” you quipped. “Now get over here!”

“As you wish.” Astarion weaved his way across the barn and positioned himself behind you to look in your bag. You felt his cold breath on your ear. “Hello,” he purred.

Your fingers stumbled on a few notes and the ogress suddenly looked around, as if waking from a trance. 

“Wha-”

You scrunched your nose and kicked behind you at Astarion’s shin. 

He laughed out in pain, but you could feel him rummaging through your bag. The song you were playing resumed its hypnotic tones and the ogress seemed to calm down. 

“Remind me to never have you organize my wardrobe, darling. It is a mess in here.”

“I know where everything is!” You argued. “The scrolls are in alphabetical order.”

“My gods, you’re lame.” Astarion squinted into your bag, trying to read the titles of the spells in the dim light. 

“ASTARION!” You shouted and twisted as the bugbear suddenly reappeared, apparently having been able to push the hay bale off of himself. He was running like a madman around the right side of the barn, towards Astarion. 

Astarion reached for his daggers, only to come up empty. They were still in the hay bale on the other side of the barn. Swearing, he looked up just in time to see-

WHAM!

Your lute connected with the bugbear’s face with such force that he went down instantly. 

As a result, however, your lute was now shattered. Which meant there was about to be a very angry ogress on your hands.

Astarion quickly shuffled back to your bag and filed through your spells.

“Astarion…” You said hesitantly. Your body tensed as the ogress blinked a few times, growled, and began stomping her way towards you two.

“I’m going! I’m going! A HA!” Astarion pulled out the proper spell and leaned forward over your shoulder to shove it ungracefully into your hands. “Read it out read it out read it out!”

“Shut up shut up shut up!” You uncrumpled the spell and shouted “SOMNUM,” just as the ogress reared back to swing her club.

Instead, she went down heavily, instantly asleep.

You and Astarion stayed frozen in place. When it was clear the ogress was truly out cold, Astarion chuckled against your shoulder, still leaning into you from behind. 

You smiled. Then you joined in his slight chuckle, which turned into laughs, which turned into the both of you doubling over in weezing delight.

“Have you ever seen anything so ghastly?” Astarion looked between the two unconscious creatures.

“Love finds a way,” you continued laughing.

“My dear, love had nothing to do with that,” Astarion wiped a tear from his eye and went to retrieve his daggers from across the barn. “That was all lust. And probably a bit of morbid curiosity to see if it was even possible.”

“Clearly it is,” you said. “Shows what we know about interspecies relationships.”

Astarion sheathed his daggers and came back around to see you picking up the broken pieces of your lute. You sighed and took off your bag, carefully making the pieces fit inside. 

He cleared his throat awkwardly. “Thank you.”

You looked up at him.

“For knocking out that bugbear. And for sacrificing your lute in the process.” He bent to pick up a piece that had slid across the floor and brought it over to you.

“It’s just a thing,” you said. “I can replace it. But I’m glad you’re okay.”

"why did you get into neko atsume?" aphmau.

"why did you get into mystic messenger?" aphmau.

"why did you get into okage shadow king?" aphmau.

"what was part of the reason you got into kingdom hearts?" aphmau.

"why are you trying to get into final fantasy?" aphmau.

conclusion: aphmau somehow led to me getting a bunch of different obsessions lol

Quick Overview of the Dawntrail Healers

The Dawn will be upon us soon, so I wanted to give a quick overview of the new healer tools! The official Job Guide has been updated (including Viper and Pictomancer) so go take a look if you're interested :)

(I say quick overview and then there's AST)

At Level 94, all healers and casters will see Swiftcast's CD reduced to 40s (down from 60s).

Now for the individual stuff:

*For clarity: nuke-AoE = "deals X damage to main target and reduced damage to all nearby enemies" ; regular AoE = equal damage

Unless otherwise stated, the following abilities are unlocked from 92->100 in the usual 2-level increments.

White Mage

Retroactively at L40, Whm gets a gap closer

Presence of Mind followup attack: a new nuke-AoE (3 uses)

Glare 3, Dia, and Blood Lily damage potency upgrade

Medica 2 upgrade

Second charge of Tetragrammaton

Under Temperance, Whm has access to a party-wide barrier. Party members receive a HoT when the barrier expires**

Scholar

Effective from L66, Chain Stratagem's duration has been increased from 15s -> 20s

Chain Stratagem followup attack: a new AoE DoT

Potency upgrade to Broil 4 and Biolysis

Succor upgrade

Recitation CD reduced to 60s

Scholar's L100 ability Seraphism is a 20s active mode (like Temperance/Neutral Sect) that does the following:

AoE HoT for the full duration

Resets the Emergency Tactics CD and sets the CD to 1s

Upgrades Adloquium and Succor's heal value

Essentially, this provides Scholar with a lot of GCD healing power on top of a team-wide HoT. Dissipation is locked for the duration, but all other Fairy abilities are available.

Finally there's a button-mapping change: Summon Seraph no longer changes to Consolation when using Seraph, meaning you MUST map Consolation to your hotbar.

Sage

Retroactively at L82, Sage gets an AoE DoT

New nuke-AoE

Soteria CD reduced from 90s -> 60s

Dosis 3, Toxikon 2, and Pneuma damage potency upgrade

Eukrasian Prognosis upgrade

Physis 2's healing action buff is extended from 10s -> 15s

Sage's L100 ability Philosophia buffs healing magic (GCDs) for 20s and adds a buff to nearby party members that restores party HP upon using spells (again, GCDs). This is almost like giving the entire party Kardia, but the key difference here is this applies to both offensive and healing spells. Meaning, using GCD heals such as Prognosis and Diagnosis will trigger the additional healing just as Dosis will.

Astrologian

Effective at lower levels, Combust and Combust 2 have been buffed slightly

For all levels, Divination's duration has been increased from 15s -> 20s

Divination followup attack: a new AoE

Combust 3 and Fell Malefic potency upgrade

Aspected Helios upgrade

Third charge of Essential Dignity

Under Neutral Sect, Ast has access to a party-wide 10% mitigation**

As for the card changes, the cards you draw are no longer random. Ast will draw three major arcana and one minor arcana at once. Each card now has a unique effect and are grouped under Astral and Umbral sets:

Astral Set

Balance: 6% damage buff for melee/tank, 3% if other

Arrow: Increases recovery via healing actions

Spire: Barrier

Lord of Crowns: AoE damage

Umbral Set

Spear: 6% damage buff for ranged/healer, 3% if other

Bole: 10% damage reduction

Ewer: HoT

Lady of Crowns: AoE heal

Redraw and Undraw are gone. The old Draw button will be replaced by Astral Draw and Umbral Draw, which share a button that switches from one set to the other. This means you are forced to rotate through both sets. From what I've seen, Ast loads into the instance with the Astral cards drawn, meaning that Umbral Draw will be your first button. The CD of the new Draw is 60s.

You will now have three separate Play buttons, in addition to the minor arcana button. The cards are paired as follows: Balance/Spear, Arrow/Bole, Spire/Ewer, Lord/Lady. (The table above is arranged by the same pairs)

The Seal system is also gone, which includes Astrodyne.

A button mapping change: Macrocosmos no longer changes to Microcosmos automatically. You must map Microcosmos to your hotbar separately.

Lastly, Aspected Helios now unlocks at L40 (previously L42), which basically ensures Asts will have it for Cutter's Cry and Stone Vigil.

**In case this wasn't clear, Whm and Ast's L100 abilities are NEW buttons. You control the timing of their activation but can only do so under Temperance/Neutral Sect.

That's the four healers! I kept numbers to a minimum since this is really meant to be a cursory glance. Take a look at the job guide if you'd like to see more specifics details. I wish you all luck with your queues, may the Dawn welcome you gently and with no crashes~
