Would you want to have any of your sims as a sibling? My pick is either Stevie or Coco. I think it'd be fun to be a younger sibling third wheel to Cas and Coco

good choices!! stevie would be the fun sibling who picks you up in the middle of the night to go get slushies at 7/11 and shoot the shit in the parking lot for a while because she knows you're stressed about school and your parents don't understand you but hang in there, everything will be alright :')

coco has such wildly different relationships with all her siblings depending on their age, how long they lived together (if at all), and whether they needed her to be more of a sister or more of a parent. but man she would love it if she could just be the uncomplicated silly older sister :( she almost has that kind of relationship with nico even though he's older than her

here's a bonus super early stage draft because why not

i love that you mentioned third wheeling with casper & coco because in this case coco is actually the third wheel lmaoo

Autumn rain ✦ Theodore Nott

A\N: Hi everyone! Since I’ve been on a Theo Nott brain rot I’ve decided to write a little something for a modern day uni student Theo, to all my fellow Theo fans out there this one is for you, hopefully u enjoy reading it!!!

The rain falls in a steady pitter-patter, and the raindrops make the views from the window a little distorted. Below, people walk around clutching jackets around them or grasping their umbrella handles tightly. Oxford is wrapped under a blanket of rain and chilly weather that befits autumn. In all honesty, the weather makes for a quite picturesque scene of Oxford University, the old buildings just look magnificent in this weather, it’s as if the weather itself intended it to be that way. Theo welcomes this weather, especially now more than ever, thanks to the person who happens to be right across the room.

Inside the apartment, the scene could be considered just as picturesque as the outside. Stacks of books line the shelves and fill the gaps of any furniture deemed fit to hold such objects; some, however, are relegated to being stacked neatly on the floor. One of the two desks is occupied by the chestnut-haired young man. His blue eyes are fixated on the text marked in black ink, laced with scribbles on the margins. Across the room, a young woman serves what’s possibly the third round of coffee. Expertly taking the cups she walks across the desk and places a mug a few inches away from the text, careful as ever to not stain it. “Another one cara?” he asks her, the Italian accent is noticeable on the last word, and she presses a light kiss to his cheek. Chuckling, she takes the seat next to him and crosses her legs, “This one is caffè corretto, amore,” she replies with a playful wink, and he laughs before sipping the coffee. “You’re an expert already,” he comments, and she laughs.

Theo looks at her, and an easy smile spreads across his face. It’s a normal afternoon for them, and this is her normal state, but he finds her increasingly beautiful during moments like this. Her long hair is tied up in a loose bun with strands falling all over. After roughly three years with her, he still doesn’t know why or how the strands happen to fall so naturally. It’s as if they were meant to fall that way to frame her face. Freckles line the bridge of her nose, making a little constellation there. “You’re doing that again,” she comments with a smile, and he snaps out of it. “Che cosa cara?” he asks. “The staring,” she replies smoothly, a teasing smile tugs at the corner of her lips, and he fiddles with the pen. “I’m simply admiring you, cara, you should know that by now,” he sweetly says, and she drinks the last of her coffee. Theo leans forward, and their faces are inches apart and her hands weave their way into his hair. Her touch is delicate enough to easily lull him to sleep, Theo is the one to close the gap between them.

Soft lips greet his in a warm embrace, the taste of coffee and brandy laced with her vanilla and lavender perfume envelops his senses. His warm hands find her cheeks, and he rests them there, deepening the kiss. Pulling apart, she giggles and kisses his nose, which makes him smile. “We’ve been poring over these laws for hours, let’s take a break Theo,” she softly says, and he hums in agreement. “Look at you being the one to call for breaks, is this a little thing called character development?” he asks, his tone teasing. In response, the girl laughs and lightly slaps his shoulder, “It’s called enjoying the comfort of autumn rain, amore.” “Very well then,” he replies, standing up and offering a hand to the girl. Her green sweater, which was once his, reaches a little above the knees, and the sleeves cover most of her hands. Pushing the sleeves up, she takes his hand and follows him to the sofa.

Lying down on the he makes space for her and she instantly climbs in next to him. With her body flush against his, he wastes no time in wrapping his hands around her frame while she settles her head against his chest. The couple resorts to whispers and sweet nothings as they relish in the comfort of quietness. “You know, international politics might still be bringing long nights and headaches, but it brought you and an academic rivalry,” she jokes, and he laughs. “Now, cara, just because I love you, it doesn’t mean that the rivalry is dead, I just happen to not mind getting dethroned by you once in a while,” he says with a grin. The girl laughs and playfully slaps his arm, “Touchè, amore mio, touchè,” she says. A yawn leaves her lips and a few seconds later, it’s passed onto him. Sleep washes over them like a warm blanket as it continues to rain outside the apartment’s walls.

Californication Pt. 2

Californication, Pt. 3

The sky is bleeding shades of gold and orange over the navy blue early morning shade, only a couple of stars still visible from the night before. You shift in your bed uncomfortably, not having been able to sleep almost the entire night, mostly due to pure excitement. Luckily, your alarm sounds, and you get up to turn it off. 7:01, you manage to make out as your eyes adjust to the morning hue. You gather your honey-blonde hair and tie it up, so it's out of your face. As you retrieve your phone from charging on your bedside table, you see 4 new messages from Sarah, your best friend since grade school, right when you moved to the suburbs from New York.

You love Sarah, you have from the very first moment you met her. When you had just moved to a new house, and you felt all blue until you saw a beautiful blonde girl about your age in the yard next to yours-- wearing denim overalls with flowers on them, reading a book and eating a strawberry popsicle. She saw you looking through the window, and yelled to ask you whether you wanted a popsicle too. Sarah was an angel-- unfortunately, you were the fucking devil, especially when it came to Sarah's father.

Joel Miller-- You had begun to notice his appeal in the seventh grade, right around the time you started feeling things while watching that one scene in titanic. When you happened to scrape your knee outside Sarah's house and Joel had to patch you up. He lifted you onto their bathroom counter and placed a hello kitty band-aid on your knee, while looking up at you with his dark brown, captivating eyes and giving your knee a kiss. He told you that you were such a good girl for being so brave. You, being a horny 13-year-old, thought about that for months. He was your sexual awakening.

And now you're 18, still not able to look at him without your face growing hot, and your knees nearly giving out, going on spring vacation to Palm springs with your parents, Sarah, and Joel.

“Cara, are you up? We're leaving in two hours, with or without you!”

You hear your mom's perky voice yell from downstairs, she can be quite dramatic. But you wouldn't change her for anything.

“Yeah, mom!”

You quickly gather yourself and make a mental note to not think absolutely anything dirty about Joel 'sex god' Miller while on vacation. You answer Sarah's anxiously worded texts about what to pack for the vacation, and whether she can wear a bikini or will your mom think it's too whorish. The thing you love about Sarah is how much she thinks about stuff, she knows your mom loves her, and still, she's worried. You tell Sarah not to worry, and that you'd already packed, because you can think ahead too. You move onto picking an outfit for the trip.

It has to be something cute, but not too cute so my parents don't get suspicious-- but Joel has to like it.

You think to yourself, and then go on to curse yourself for thinking about Joel, and what he might like. You need to get yourself together. He's like 40, not to mention your best friend's father. You settle on some classic Levi's 501 shorts and a white Brandy Melville long sleeve, because the morning dew can cause a chilliness in the air. You decide on no makeup, and to wear your hair down, unstyled. You hurriedly grab the last of your things, phone charger, bikini-- a book.

Furthermore, you grab a Red Bull from the fridge quickly before you make it down to the driveway. Sarah's already sitting in the backseat of your moms gray sedan, and Joel's loading up their stuff. You feel weak as you see Joel, he's wearing a black t shirt that shows off his sweat glazed biceps and that damn cross necklace hanging around his neck. God-- there's something in you melting right now, and it is not from the heat outside.

“Hey darlin', need any help with that?”

Joel asks, in his low voice, smooth like whiskey, topped with the most charming southern drawl imaginable.

“Uhm, yeah! Thanks, Mr. Miller.”

You smile at him as you hand over your suitcase, trying to paint your face with an attractive smile, it is probably coming off as shy and adolescent if anything. Joel smiles back, the kind of smile that could stop traffic, and he pats you on your lower back, his hand lingering there for a second too long to be considered innocent. Even after he lets go, the heat of his big hand lingers there.

“It's no problem, a pretty lil' girl like you shouldn't be doin' heavy lifting, go on sit down, Sarah's in the car already.”

You go in the car, ready to blame the heat for your fiery crimson cheeks if it comes up. You hug Sarah excitedly and your parents carry the rest of the stuff to the car. You almost choke on your Red Bull as you see Joel opening the back door and motioning you to sit in the middle so he can fit in the back. Reluctantly, you move to the middle seat, as close to Sarah as possible, so you don't accidentally brush up against her smoke show of a father and go even more red than you knew to be humanly possible.

---------

After a long 5-hour drive of sitting next to Joel as still as you could, avoiding sliding closer to him during bumps in the road, and trying not to look at the slight bulge in his shorts. You were exhausted. You were so aroused and embarrassed, you feared that in the span of 5 hours Joel had noticed your horniness, had thought it was super gross, and had somehow telepathically told your parents about it. You were pulled out of your thoughts as the car came to a stop in front of a gorgeous white beach villa and Joel patted your thigh.

“Finally here, bet you're dyin' to stretch those legs, huh?”

He fucking knew. And now you needed to find the nearest hole in the ground and bury yourself in it. You just let out an awkward laugh as he got out of the car, and tried to console yourself.

He doesn't know anything, you are being paranoid.

You and Sarah managed to get out of the car, and you almost dropped your phone when you saw it.

“There's a huge fucking pool!”

You yelled in utter shock and excitement.

“Watch your mouth, young lady!”

Your dad yelled from behind the car. You and Sarah just laughed as you ran inside the villa, the tile floor freezing in contrast to the scorching hot air, you ran to the biggest bedroom and claimed it for you and Sarah. There was a huge king-sized bed laying in the middle of the room with expensive looking white sheets, and pillow mints set on the pillows.

“I could get used to this.”

You exclaimed, joking with a certain sense of indifference, as you unwrapped the pillow-mint. Sarah only laughed and said something about her dad, before he appeared in the doorway with our bags.

“Speak of the devil.”

Sarah said.

“You were talkin' 'bout me?”

Joel asked, a smug smile on his face, as he set our bags down with ease. The veins in his forearms prominent as his muscles bulged. He was strong, like-- incredibly strong, those bags weighed a lot, and he lifted them with not as much as a grunt. His rich dark brown hair fell over his eyes and he pulled it back with his hands, revealing some gray salt and pepper hairs underneath.

“Yeah, Cara was saying how embarrassing you were in the car.”

Sarah said nonchalantly, rolling her eyes and smiling at you. You were horrified. First of all, you were already terrified of Joel and now the fact that he probably thought you disliked him.

“I didn't say that! I-”

You defended yourself frantically, until Joel interrupted you.

“Sure you didn't, you lil' troublemaker. Your dad 'oughta teach you a lesson about respectin' adults.”

He joked. You couldn't say anything back, just stare at him as he turned to leave the room.

“Gosh, my dad's embarrassing.”

Sarah complained.

“No he's fine.”

You said quietly. Joel's jokes sounded like normal jokes to everyone else, but if you were a horny 18-year-old avid dirty book reader, his jokes always had a dirty undertone to them. Like that one time he suggested he bend you over and spank you for stealing some of his beers with Sarah. His words always had an effect on you, and sometimes you felt like he was doing it on purpose. Although every time he joked, you tried to hide behind your shy, enigmatic personality and not reveal that you had just gotten hornier than ever.

You had all settled in by the time the sun was starting to set, your parents had gone out for a walk and Sarah wanted to go scout the surrounding area for shops and things to do. So you were alone at the villa-- with Joel. You hadn't dared to leave your room yet, but your stomach was begging you to go get food already, and you had no other choice. So you gathered your courage and went into the kitchen, Joel was nowhere to be seen. You opened up the fridge to see a tuna sandwich, and came to the conclusion that it was probably for the road trip, and you could eat it now. So you took a bite, and felt someone's eyes on you, you turned around to see Joel wearing only his swimming trunks, hair soaking wet, and his abs glistening, as he dried them with a white towel.

“So... now the naughty girl is stealin' sandwiches too, huh?”

He accused you playfully, while dragging the towel across his body lazily, as if trying to torture you.

“What? I- I didn't know this was yours-”

You were quick to defend yourself.

“Relax, Cara.”

He said, a sly smile painting his beautiful face. The way your name rolled off his tongue felt like a direct attack to the tough exterior you were trying to keep up around him, and it went straight to your core.

“I'm jus' jokin' with you, you're always so tense around me, why is that?”

He asked, his voice remaining velvety smooth.

“Uhm... no, I'm not.”

You tried to sound convincing, you didn't. The way you fidgeted with your shirt hem and always slightly lowered your head when you spoke to him, suggested that you were genuinely afraid of him. But you weren't, just head over heels in lust. Wrongful lust.

“You jus' seem nervous is all... is everything all right?”

He asked as he walked slowly closer, like a predatory cat, he was a tall man, well over 6 foot. As he got closer, he started to tower over you in an intimidating but undeniably attractive manner. His build was strong, he looked like a man who could throw you across the room and not break a sweat.

“I'm not nervous.”

You lied. He looked at you knowingly, like a teacher who had just caught you cheating and was about to embarrass you in front of the entire classroom. He brought his big rugged hand to your forehead and made a caressing motion, you were confused until he held his hand to the light and confronted you.

“You're sweatin', and it ain't even that hot in here, you're also red as a beet.”

He smiled, having caught you in a lie. You were about to say something, but he stopped you.

“You know, lyin's not nice-- only bad girls lie.”

“What are you, my father?”

You clapped back, soon to realize that was a mistake. Because he placed his hand on your chin gently, but in a way that was meant to intimidate you, and forced you to look straight in his dark, scary eyes.

“No, and you're damn lucky I ain't, cause I'd sure as hell punish you for lyin' to me, make you respect your daddy.”

Your eyes widened in shock, and you could feel the familiar redness rising to your cheeks. He dropped your chin and laughed a hearty laugh.

"Listen, kiddo, I'm jus' messin' with ya.”

“Oh!”

You let out a breath you hadn't realized you'd been holding and tried to shake off your dirty thoughts.

He didn't say anything sexual, you are just a weird ass dirty minded virgin.

“And I'd work on hidin' your emotions better. Gettin' all worked up by your best friend's father callin' himself daddy-- you are one sick puppy.”

His crude words should have disgusted you, you should've felt gross or violated or something, but you didn't. All your feelings were overpowered by one. Complete intoxicating arousal, purely from his words. You didn't have a lot of time to gather yourself when you heard the door and saw Sarah walking inside with something in her hands.

“What do you have?”

You asked, curious. Sarah held the items up, and you could make out two bagels and two diet cokes. You smiled like you had just seen a million dollars.

“I love you so much!”

You screamed as you ran for the bagels.

“I thought you'd probably be starving, I found this cute ass little café down the road.”

You took the bagels and headed to your room. Feeling extremely guilty about what had happened with her dad just moments prior, how could he just say something so-- vigorous out of nowhere, and now you had to pretend it didn't happen. You placed the bagels on the bed and changed your denim shorts into your comfortable pink Hollister mini shorts, you took out your MacBook and scrolled endlessly, trying to find something for you both to watch.

“Can we watch The Kardashians?”

You asked Sarah, she just nodded a quick yeah and bit into her bagel. You watched the show until it was very late, the sun had set completely, and the only sound throughout the house was the quiet hum of an air conditioner. Sarah was half asleep, you had almost forgotten about the whole thing with his dad already.

It's fine, you were just reading too much into it, he didn't mean anything by it.

You were way too in your thoughts to go to sleep, so you decided that a little midnight swim could do you good. You changed into a tan Burberry bikini and retrieved a white towel from your closet, and made your way to the massive pool. The air felt warm, the night had brought a cold breeze, but the heat of the day still lingered in the air, almost like a memory. The water was warm, it was sitting there day after day in the heat, so it had gathered some of it. You could easily just go all the way in, it felt heavenly-- After having swam a couple of laps you lifted your head out of the pool. You almost drowned when you saw Joel, crouched by the side of the pool, staring at you and smiling.

“Fuck! You scared me!”

You screamed at him. Coughing out some water you had accidentally swallowed when you saw him.

“Sorry... was jus' enjoyin' the view.”

He said, smugly. You decided that if he wanted to play games, you would play along. You splashed him with water so his sweatpants and white tee got soaking wet, and smiled at him-- challenging him.

“Whoa! Kitty's got claws... But you ain't a brave girl.”

“Why's that?”

You asked, swimming closer to him and holding onto the border of the pool, inches from him. The light of the moon reflected on you from the water. The air smelled like smoke, brittlebush, and chlorine.

I probably look fucking ethereal right now.

You thought to yourself, feeling confident, trying your best to give Joel 'fuck me' eyes, something you'd learned while reading one of your grotesque books.

“You know I can't come in that pool, you're hidin' out 'cause you know you shouldn't challenge me.”

If there was ever a time to be courageous, this was it. You lifted yourself out of the pool slowly, Joel observed you with a slight sparkle in his eye. You got out of the pool and slowly walked over to your towel to dry yourself off. Joel laughed a low, hearty laugh.

“I guess I was wrong.”

He said, holding his hands up in defeat.

“So, what are you doing up this late?”

You asked him, party curious, partly trying to relieve the tension.

“Oh, well darlin' if I told you I'd be considered a dirty, bad man. Let's jus' say I couldn't sleep.”

To be continued.

Ho seguito il tavolo negoziale tra Trump e Zelensky. Poche chiacchiere: quest'ultimo è stato letteralmente umiliato e messo in un angolo.

A un certo punto il presidente ucraino sembrava citare a memoria le prime pagine di Repubblica. Una roba imbarazzante.

Il punto focale del discorso di Trump è stato questo: cara Kiev, la guerra deve finire perché senza di noi (e le nostre armi) ad essere finita sei tu. E, per quanto ne possano dire gli euroinomani che ora si fiondano in difesa dell'attore Nato, questa è la verità.

Ovviamente non è tutta la verità, perché questa guerra per procura è stata fortemente voluta da Washington. Persino Trump rivendica "I gave you javelins, Obama gave you sheets". Il fatto è che lo Zio Sam se ne vuole tirare fuori perché ha conseguito i suoi obiettivi, sulle spalle dei dementi a dodici stelle, e ora ha altre rogne. Rogne con gli occhi a mandorla.

Comunque la si veda, l'incontro in diretta tra Trump e Zelensky è stata una lezione durissima di realpolitik. Nessun sorriso di circostanza, nessun fronzolo, solo una trattativa serrata e senza sconti.

Farà bene vedere il video a tutti coloro che ancora vivono nel mondo degli arcobaleni. Ma, aggiungo, anche a coloro che dimenticano quanto la statura della classe politica determini il fato di intere nazioni.

Insomma, un ritorno alla realtà. Anzi, alla Storia.

Illario Appreciation week prompt 2: On the job

This one is much shorter than my prior so I'll just post it here and is mostly just a contract. It was fun to write Illario embracing his sly nature. Roughly 935 words. This is an assassination contract although Illario kind of glosses over the man's death so it's not super explicit.

Thanks for @captastra for the prompts for the week.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The party was thrumming with life, no one was aware of the death hiding in their midst. Illario moved amongst the rest, his smile warm and friendly even as he scanned for his target. It was late enough in the night that the merchant ought to be deep in his cups. A few appreciative gazes followed him as he moved through the crowd. A few assessed the cost of his costume, no doubt they would find it suitable. He’d asked Vignola for her best, and as always she provided. Resplendent in silks colored white and red, with a gold filigreed columbina mask glittering with rubies. 

When he spotted the young woman for whom the ball was being held he approached. Idalia Pesci, daughter of Isacco Pesci. Her dress was almost garishly adorned with emeralds. The heavy brocade had to be weighing her down and she had a sheen of sweat on her brow even as she smiled at her guests. Her father was his target, and the best way to get his attention and get him alone was through her. Approaching her he bowed low to her,

“Might I have this dance?” His eyes glittered behind his mask. She smiled with delight at the handsome stranger choosing her to dance with and readily took his hand. Her chaperone looked uncomfortable but before they could voice a complaint he was pulling her away to the dance floor.

“Now cara mia who do I have the pleasure of dancing with?” He purred, letting his hand drift scandalously low on her back. The girl giggled, smiling up at him.

“My name is Idalia Pesci, although if you are here I suspect you knew that.” She smiled, “What can I call you?” 

“Matteo,” He purred, spinning her on the dance floor and feeling that they were gaining attention. A sly glance out of the corner of his eye proved Isacco had set down his brandy. Red-faced and furious as he watched a man paw at his daughter on the dance floor. Got you. 

“Matteo?” She trailed off, asking for his last name as he pulled her in close, 

“Why ruin a nice dance with such formalities?” He teased and she laughed, seeming to enjoy his attention.

“Very well then Matteo. I fear it shall just be one dance unless you give my father your name. He is seeking a good match for me.” Idalia admitted and Illario smiled, 

“As one would for a lovely woman of your age, but do you want what your father deems a good match?” he teased, “Or would you rather have some enjoyment?” Her breathing picked up as he drew her close to his body. She was attracted to him, no doubt, and as they danced she seemed more and more entranced.

So Illario released her at the end of the dance, bowling low and respectful,

“Perhaps we shall dance again, Idalia.” He chanced being personal enough to use her name and she seemed to preen.

“Of course, Matteo. Perhaps you shall tell me your family name, the next time we meet.” If you are lucky we will never meet again. Instead of saying as much he caught her hand and drew it to his lips to kiss her knuckles. It was brazen, to do so in front of so many without being formally introduced. As such Isacco leaned over to the man at his side and whispered something. Illario released Idalia and retreated, giving the girl one final wave as he moved to the more secluded part of the party.

“Master Pesci would have a word with you.” The gruff voice had him turning, feigning a slightly afraid demeanor. 

“I-I meant no offense. I did not realize it was Master Pesci’s daughter.” He lied and the man took his arm in a bruising grasp,

“We shall see.” Tilting his face down, Illario hid his smile of triumph as Isacco’s man led him to a solo meeting with the very man he was here to kill.

Isacco was a strong man in his mid-50s, hair greying and beard full. If he hadn’t swayed on his feet Illario might have said he was in control of the situation. As it was, he did. His weakness was shown through his drunkenness. Illario kept up the fearful act even as he was made to kneel before Isacco. Bowing his head in mock shame the man holding him retreated.

“You may leave.” Isacco drew a blade and Illario fought down a grin at the thought he truly believed himself Illario’s equal. 

“Of course Master Isacco.” The man retreated and only once he had did Illario feel the cold kiss of steel on the back of his neck.

“Any last words, pig?” The man growled and Illario glanced up,

“Only that the crows send their regards.” He didn’t give Isacco a chance to respond as he buried a knife into the femoral artery. Upon withdrawing it the man collapsed, bleeding out within a few heartbeats. Illario managed to avoid the worst of the spurts as he rose back to his feet. Looking down his nose at Isacco he sneered at the man.

Dropping the blade, marked with a crow sigil, he moved to the wall of the pavilion and began to climb up. He’d go home, get his payment, and be back to a new job in the morning. For a moment he mourned that the outfit Vignola made for him couldn't be used again, not without the chance of being recognized, but such was the way of things. She would make him others. He would kill in those, too.

[theramseyloft]

there was this one bird in your flock that i was so enamored with a few years ago and i wanted to know how she was doing but i cant remember her name, she was an Ash Red Hen, Checker i think? she and her husband were breeders in your flock until you found evidence they were passing on some genetic issues and put them up for adoption to a Non-Breeding owner, i think her husband was also ash red but i think he was a bar?, i was wondering if you might know who they are and give an upd8 on how theyre doing?

Was it Cookie, by any chance?

I haven't had many Ash Red check hens...

In which case, maybe it was her and Pinto?

They didn't go to the same home. Both went singly as house pets.

Maybe he big sister, Papillion?

I know a lot of people were in love with Papillion because she presented as a cock until she wanted eggs, and it took for ever to tell she was a hen.

I haven't heard from her family in a while either.

Radish (Mia x Cara) and everyone directly related to him was adopted out to a non-breeding home when his older sister Escher died of peritoneal cancer, which is extremely rare and only effects females, but males can carry it.

He lives on a horse ranch in a modified stall with a small flock of our least human-friendly pigeons and I get updates on them now and then.

Last I heard, he's pretty happy.

Wookie is Pinto and Cookie's baby, also removed from the pool for sharing lineage.

His mom isn't in touch with me on the regular, so no idea, sadly.

Both sides of Cara's family ended up being a mess.

I have not heard from her family since she was adopted.

Sun Tsu, her Chinese Owl dad died of calcified lungs.

Her Old Dutch Capuchin mother, Bobbi, died of a calcified heart.

Cara's handsome little husband, Mia (Changed to Bowie after he was adopted) was Old Dutch Capuchine on Ferdi's side. Old German Owl mother, Astrid.

Astrid ended up having and passing on a very poor immune system.

Last I heard, Bowie was a happy house bird, but it has been years since I have heard last.

Mia's sister Brandy wasn't a breeding bird either...

Do you remember anything other than the sex and color?

¡Ya se puede ver el primer TINY DESK de CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso!

LA QUE PUEDE, PUEDE: CA7RIEL & PACO AMOROSO ESTRENAN SESIÓN EN TINY DESK

Tras el lanzamiento de BAÑO MARÍA, su primer disco juntos, y en medio de la gira para presentarlo en su tour más importante hasta la fecha, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso hicieron una parada en Washington para grabar un show en el mítico Tiny Desk de la emisora NPR. Se suman a la lista aún breve de artistas argentinos en haber pasado por el mítico escritorio junto a Juana Molina, Nicki Nicole, Trueno, y María Volonté.

Con el primer segmento latinoamericano del Tour 2024 “BAÑO MARÍA” recién completado, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso estrenan show en formato íntimo en el legendario Tiny Desk de la emisora estadounidense NPR, un rito de paso consagratorio para artistas de todo el mundo. La grabación se dio en medio de la etapa latinoamericana de la gira, que arrancó con un show sin precedentes en el Movistar Arena en Buenos Aires y recorrió Argentina pasando por Córdoba, Santa Fe, Salta, Tucumán, Neuquén y Mar del Plata, así como por Chile (Santiago de Chile), Perú (Lima), Ecuador (Quito), y Colombia (Bogotá y Medellín). Mientras se preparan para la próxima tanda de presentaciones del material de BAÑO MARÍA en Mendoza, San Juan, San Luis y Montevideo (Uruguay), la sesión es una oportunidad para disfrutar de versiones bien distintas de las canciones del disco.

Con un setlist de 5 temas y acompañados por la espectacular banda que integran Javier Burin en teclados, Anita B Queen en coros, guitarra y samples, Eduardo Giardina en batería y Felipe Brandy en bajo, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso aprovecharon para mostrar varios de los submundos de BAÑO MARÍA, un disco que plasma a la perfección la versatilidad con la que arrasan los límites genéricos… y de todo tipo.

Para el Mes de la Herencia Hispana, la emisora organizó “Latin Music Month”, una serie de sesiones con artistas como Juanes, Eladio Carrión, Iván Cornejo, Danny Ocean, y The Marías, entre otros, y les propuso como tema el amor. CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso se lo tomaron en serio: con estilismo por Negra Negra, CA7RIEL vistió un chaleco confeccionado con los típicos peluches de corazón que dicen “Te amo”, mientras que Paco lució una remera con el actor Roly Serrano interpretando a Diego Maradona.

Arrancando con su reinterpretación del dembow “DUMBAI”, levantaron la temperatura del escritorio enseguida. Con el clima instalado, pasaron a otra cara del amor, porque la historia siguió con “EL ÚNICO”, la canción en la que CA7RIEL y Paco hablan sobre salir con la misma chica, cuya performance es uno de los puntos altos de todas sus presentaciones. Después dedicaron un momento a sus canciones solistas, una muestra más de cómo juegan a cara y cruz, ángel y demonio, y cada uno encarnó un lado opuesto del romance: en “MI DESEO” Paco explora el período “luna de miel” de un vínculo, y en “BAD BITCH” CA7RIEL se calza la guitarra y canta sobre una relación que no funciona, como se resume el estribillo: “Yo no soy para ti”. A continuación pasaron al drum and bass pegadizo “BABY GANGSTA”, donde se definen como “tiernos pero gangsta” y cuentan algo de su recorrido artístico, desde el colegio a este presente de giras internacionales. ¿La cereza del postre? “LA QUE PUEDE, PUEDE”, otra de las canciones donde hablan de su lugar en el panorama de la música, un cierre que deja claro esa otra faceta del amor, acaso la que está por encima de todas.

El paso de CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso por Tiny Desk destila talento, fantasía, frescura y humor, y la sesión sin dudas logró captar toda esa esencia que los hace únicos. De sus noches delirantes a las canciones y videos de BAÑO MARÍA, de su tour actual directo a las pantallas del mundo entero, el Tiny Desk es otra pieza indispensable para vivir la gira junto al dúo y sin dudas habla de un momento de expansión a escala internacional.

CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso aún van a seguir de gira: con 6 fechas más en Argentina, un show en Uruguay y 4 shows en México, así como un segmento europeo con 11 shows en España, Francia, Portugal, Reino Unido, Alemania y Bélgica no está en los planes pisar el freno.

Who is the voice of the female Deputy?

When I saw this question, I decided to try to find an answer.

I looked up all the actors listed in the credits, listened to their voices (in interviews, demo reels, or other videos), and… I’m still not sure who played the female Deputy.

While I usually find it relatively easy to recognize voice actors in French, my native language, it turns out that’s much harder for me to do in English. Also, it doesn’t help that they’re usually very good at changing their voice/accent and that, in real life, most of them don’t sound like the characters they play.

I still believe the person who played the female Deputy is also “Cult Follower Female 5” (CFF5), but it seems to me the actor used a different accent and tone so the cultist sounds a bit “villainous”. In any case, I didn’t find anyone that sounded exactly like the two characters…

According to my ears, though, the female Deputy and the female Captain from New Dawn have the same voice. Outside of cutscenes, the Deputy has 314 lines in Far Cry 5 (which you can listen to here, here, here, here, and here) and the audio files were all reused for the Captain. In cutscenes, so the “lines” that were specifically recorded for New Dawn, the character sounds exactly the same to me, which means the voice actor must have worked on both games.

I looked at the names that appeared in the credits of the two games and narrowed the list down to the 15 (+1; see below) likeliest candidates, so here are the people who, in my opinion, could potentially be the voice of the female Deputy, as well as, when the information was available, either in the game or on IMDb, which character(s) they played:

Claire Armstrong

Kailea Banka

Carolina Bartczak (Cult Follower in FC5; apparently not in FCND, but you never know)

Kimberly D. Brooks (Gun for Hire)

Nicki Burke (Cult Follower in FC5, Selene in FCND)

Lucinda Davis

Stacey DePass (Nana in FCND)

Amber Goldfarb (voice of Faith’s Priestesses, “Cult Follower Female 3”, and, I believe, Rae-Rae)*

Julianne Jain

Mara Junot (Sherri Woodhouse, “Civilian Female 6”)

Helen King

Erica Linbeck (voice of Anne, but also this and this)

Cynthia Kaye McWilliams (Resistance Soldier)

Debra Wilson

Kim Yarborough

Mayko Nguyen, who plays Kim Rye, was credited a second time as a “voice talent” in Far Cry 5, which implies she may have also played one of several NPC. Since she worked on New Dawn, she too could be the female Deputy’s voice.

Again, English isn’t my first language, and after spending two days listening to all those voices, everyone started to sound the same to me :’) If you’re a native English speaker and/or have a great ear, though, maybe you’ll be able to more easily solve the mystery! We can do it!

*IMDb says Amber Goldfarb played “Noodle’s owner” (the woman who called Ms. Mable for her pet snake) but the files tell me the voice is actually “Civilian Female 6”, so Mara Junot.

And under the cut, just in case, I included all the other female voices who appear in the credits.

FAR CRY 5

MAIN CAST Beryl Bain (Tracey Lader) Sarah Booth (Tammy Barnes and, according to IMDb, a “Civilian”) Luisa D’Oliveira (Deputy Joey Hudson) Jenessa Grant (Faith Seed) Debra McGrath (Nancy) Tasya Teles (Mary May Fairgrave)

VOICE TALENTS Carolina Bartczak (Cult Follower) Lauren Jackson (Skylar Kohrs) Erin Mathews Julie Nathanson (Jess Black) Kristen Peace Murry Peeters (Grace Armstrong) Claire Rankin Cara Ricketts (Dr. Sarah Perkins in FC5, Mickey in FCND) Charlotte Rogers Paula Shaw (Ms. Wilhelmina Mable) Jane Wheeler (Adelaide Drubman)

PERFORMERS (I’m not sure they recorded voices and they apparently didn’t work on FCND) Michela Cannon Roanna Cochrane (Cult Follower) Athena Karkanis Karen Knox Janet Porter Melissa Robertson Alyssa Trask Brandi Marie Ward

FAR CRY NEW DAWN

MAIN CAST Reina Hardesty (Carmina Rye) Leslie Miller (Lou)

VOICE TALENTS Rylee Alazraqui Mary Faber (in the “Additional Thanks” section in the FC5 credits and in Lost on Mars according to IMDb) Camryn Jones Rachel Kimsey Melanie Minichino (Gina Guerra) Carolyn Ratteray Marisha Ray Nadia Verrucci

PERFORMANCE CAPTURE PERFORMERS (again, I don’t know if they recorded voices in FCND) Ava Augustin Tamara Brown Jenny Raven Ajanae Stephenson Lydia Zadel (also credited in the “Additional Thanks” section in FC5 and a voice in Lost on Mars according to IMDb)

Good luck!

LOSER'S BRACKET NOMINATIONS!

It is time to announce the LOSER'S BRACKET!

The Loser's Bracket is meant to give some love to characters who lost early, so anyone who has made it to the Quarterfinals and farther (even if they lose there) has gotten far enough they don't really need the love of the Loser's Bracket. During our last tournament Red Riding Poll, the Loser's Bracket winner was a character who hadn't even made it out of Round 1! This is for all the characters who might have been less recognizable but still awesome, to all the characters that got overshadowed by others.

The rules for nominations:

The Loser's Bracket will be either a 16 or 32 single elimination bracket, depending on the amount of nominations that are sent in.

Unlike the main tournament, where the polls each lasted a week, the polls for the Loser's Bracket will last only a day. That means the entire Loser's Bracket will probably last around a week.

Nominate as many characters as you want, but don't nominate the same character multiple times. Be mindful that the most nominated characters will be the ones that will make it to the bracket. Also nominate characters one at a time.

Propaganda from the Main Tournament will not appear, but feel free to submit any propaganda you want for why the character should win the Loser's Bracket!

Nominations open today and will close on the 15th of January, the same day the Quarterfinals of the main tournament loses.

Be respectful! Just because your fave didn't make it as far as you wanted in the main tournament or the Loser's Bracket, doesn't mean that the other contestants aren't worthwhile either! Remember, every character in this tournament have people who love them just as much as you love your fave, so please be courteous!

i feel like cara and beth can never catch a break BGHFDBGD god damn!!! took them decades to get together and then every single timeline seems to lead to them being unhappy together or divorced :')) let the lesbians have a little win brandi!!!

sjfksjd i kind of did it on purpose to show that beth and caroline are not like... soulmates. they're just two people who love each other a lot and are willing to put in the effort to make things work even when it seems like the world is against them. and it's funny in contrast with their teenage son who's like "i have died and been resurrected and died again while traversing the vast universe to find my life's one great love with only the red thread of fate as my compass"
