#BIOMY

[foxholecore]

It always amazes me how some things feel so niche and like such a small interests that few people know about just because you don’t know anyone in real life who’s interested. But then you get online and there’s such a massive following and fandom that it’s almost a shock.

[kodahonk]

happy birthday to the coolest of all time best friend @yourficstheyglow ! here's nat and paige ^w^

[eterielian13]

They get a phone call.

Andrew shows his phone to Neil—Aaron. Answers it. “What’s up? You’re on speaker. Neil’s here.”

“Good,” Aaron says. “I’m pissed at both of you.”

Andrew looks at Neil, panicking.

“You fucking assholes,” Aaron rails, not waiting for them to answer, sending Andrew into a visible spiral. “My wife doesn’t speak German!” Oh. “Freddie’s speaking half in German and my wife doesn’t understand a fucking word he says, you jackasses, what did you do?”

“Gave you a bilingual baby,” Neil says, grinning. “Like Angela.”

“Both of Angela’s parents are bilingual! Katelyn is not!”

“Teach her,” Andrew suggests, trying to keep himself under control. “Bonding time.”

“We’re both doctors! We don’t want to spend our bonding time with me teaching her German, that’s fucking dumb bullshit. Jesus. Bilingual baby. Hey. You guys have five years.”

“For what?” Neil asks.

“If in five years I don’t have the smartest baby in the neighborhood, I’m fucking coming after you. This had better pay off.”

“I mean, in five years, his competition will just be John,” Neil points out. “There won’t be any other babies in our neighborhood.”

“And John is stupid,” Aaron says thoughtfully.

“Is he?” Neil asks. “I’m honestly curious, I don’t know how smart babies are supposed to be.”

“I’m sure he’s fine,” Aaron says dismissively. “But. Five years, fuckers. Don’t think I’ll forget.”

“I’ll be sure to remember,” Andrew says solemnly.

“I’ll hold you to it. You’ll have to babysit him more often, you’re the only people who have a shot at understanding him right now, he’s pulling the same bullshit as Angela.”

Neil grins at Andrew. Andrew relaxes. He hasn’t ruined his relationship with Aaron. “We can handle it, probably.”

“Fucking better be able to. Okay. I’m leaving. Gotta try to get some sleep before my rude-ass baby wakes me up.”

“Sleep well,” Andrew says, stilted.

It takes Aaron a second too long. “You too.”

Andrew hangs up, before Aaron can consider saying anything else.

“Emotionally constipated,” Neil says, grinning.

Kevin and Thea's BIOMY Home

Guess who's computer broke down? Thankfully, my sims save was backed up and I could retake the last screenshots needed!

For Kevin and Thea I picked a more modern/industrial look because I think that they value functionality a lot with their Raven upbringing (also I wanted to build houses in different styles).

Individual posts for each house: [The Villa] [Minyard-Josten] [Katelyn+Aaron] [Allison+Renee] [Matt+Dan] [photoshoot]

Downstairs we have an open plan that can eventually be closed down, with a little play nook for John since Thea mentions she likes to keep an eye on him while cooking. They also got two cars, since they're both playing in different teams.

Upstairs we have a small laundry room right by the stairs, the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and closet on the left side, and in the middle a guest bedroom. On the right we see John's room, a shared bathroom, and the office space/place where Kevin sleeps when he's snoring too much.

The entrance is at an open landing, with their many medals and trophies right where you leave your keys, because why not? They have an enourmous TV for when Wymack visits and watches games with them (and yes, you can see a portrait of Kevin with Andrew and Neil at the Olympics in the living room)

They have a big kitchen and, don't worry, the wine bottles are purely decorative. John's space has a lot of drawings, because I figured this could be a cute way for him to express himself since he doesn't talk, and everything is space themed because Freddie's room used up most of the other items (special attention to the gallery wall, please. I just know Kevin and Thea are the hottest couple in Exy history)

Kevin and Thea's bedroom and bathroom follow the same style as the house, but I think even with all the brick and metal it looks cozy! The door by the mirror is the one that leads to the bathroom, which you have to cross to get to their shared closet (the door seen by the toilet).

John's room follow the space theme, and is one of the few spaces I could fit tinted windows. I can see this space evolving to a really cool teen bedroom when he grows up!

And finally, the other upstairs spaces. I know the bathroom mat is a basketball court, but let's all pretend is an Exy one. There's also a bunch of city posters around the house, I put them up as if they were photographs Kevin took while traveling. And of course the office carries not only their first Court uniforms, but more trophies, because they're good enough to have a B-list selection of their awards.

As always, inspired by the fic Blame it On My Youth, by @yourficstheyglow

Trust Fall (And Welcoming Arms) by SpangleBangle [Rated E, 84557 Words, Complete, 2017]

Life goes on after the Foxes win the championship, and for Andrew and Neil it's uncharted territory with only each other for guides. Maybe it's time to put away some of those hard edges, and learn how to touch more softly, and speak more honestly. And if they falter, they have their family to help them get back on their feet.

Oakland by AgentCoop [Rated M, 105947 Words, Complete, 2023]

When Neil Josten gets arrested for a fake ID and thrown into the Juvenile Detention System, he knows that he's running on borrowed time before his father's men catch up. His mother is dead, there's nowhere to run, there's nothing left at all but an Exy court at the Oakland County Detention Center that he has to earn the right to play on through good behavior. And Neil's never been great at obeying rules. -- An Andriel AU where the boys meet as teens in Juvie.

Lifeline by pandaseek [Rated T, 269357 Words, Incomplete, Updated April 2023]

"What is your name." He wouldn't care usually, but the way this kid had avoided it last time he asked, he was curious. "I've had six so far." He answers slowly, weighing each word. "Which one do you want?" Six names? Yep, there is something going on there.

soulmates:

i once believed love would be black and white by acidmeringue [Rated E, 26708 Words, Complete, 2023]

Andrew does not believe in soulmates. Nicky has a soulmate. His twin Aaron has a soulmate too, but Andrew doesn't let them speak. Everyone around him has a soulmate. They can all see in color. He can't. He doesn't believe in soulmates, doesn't believe in love at all. When enough people tell you what love should look like, when you're told enough times that you should be able to see in color but you can't, you start to believe that you don't have a soulmate after all. And that's okay. At least, it was, until Andrew makes eye contact with a stranger at Eden's and the world comes to a screeching halt. ~ Soulmate au where you can't see in color until you lock eyes with your soulmate. Additionally, if your soulmate dies, your vision goes back to monochrome.

tw: implied/referenced abuse

The Real Thing by nekojita [Rated M, 34125 Words, Complete, 2021]

Andrew was more than willing to turn down the Ravens' offer to be their newest goalie, unwilling to play five more years of Exy - let alone for someone with a too-sharp smile and a manic gleam in their eyes. That was, until he realized that a member of their Perfect Court was his soulmate. (That was, until Riko Moriyama realized that Nathaniel Wesninski, the Ravens' #3 in waiting, was Andrew's soulmate.) Andrew always knew that Fate loved tormenting him, he didn't need a reminder yet again via a too-attractive soulmate who appeared to loathe him. Yet things aren't always what they seem, especially in the Nest.

If I Knew You by AceSirenSinger [Rated T, 43145 Words, Complete, 2024]

Neil is imprisoned at sixteen years old for being the Butcher of Baltimore. Andrew obsesses, and Aaron obsesses because Andrew does, and everything goes wrong and raw and painful. Feat. the twinyards breaking each other’s hearts, and a decent amount of shade on the American justice system.

Shut Up and Dance (With Me) by OfficialStarsandGutters [Rated E, 168160 Words, Complete, 2021]

Dance AU. - Neil Josten just wants to dance, but being on the run leaves little time for frivolous hobbies. He has no idea what one night of risk will lead to when he first steps into Eden’s Twilight. Andrew Minyard dances alone. Everyone knows this. Until a wide eyed, desperate rabbit of a boy stumbles into his path, and he breaks his self imposed rule.

welp okay i haven't read biomy in a while and i'm not mentally or emotionally prepared to go check it out only to see that it's completed

so someone kindly tell me

is it complete?

[fancifulpurposelesslovely]

Chapter 114 of biomy. I'm so close to caught up and I'm actually very sad about it now that it's approaching. Love these dumb boys and their amazing children with all my heart and soul.

Also, I am 29 with a 14 year old sibling and I cannot really imagine having them as my actual child, except that I tend to give the exact same leeway that Andrew and Neil do. I mean. Not that I can teach them about knives, I don't know shit about knives. But I let them cuss around me and listen to them talk about the weird horror twitch streams they watch and tell them to skip school when they're tired. I also have a total lack of authority but they came out to me first instead of of parents.

Idk I don't know what the point of this was, but I love Paige and Nat and my kids sibling and all of biomy.
