Hey wanna see something insane?

Of course you do. This is what my photoshoot lot looks like.

The random items are there so I can adjust my Sims' head/eye positions by directing them to look at certain items while they're posing. Except The Pole™, which is there for convenience in case I need to use it. You know how much I love The Pole™.

I have the black box extended to the next level so I can shoot upwards and not accidentally get the seam of the wall or the outside. I don't remember if there's a way to build walls of varying heights in Sims 3 or if I'm thinking of Sims 4. Either way, I couldn't figure out how to do that so I just built a room upstairs and extended the wallpaper. I try to match the lighting upstairs as well as downstairs so if I have to shoot upwards at an extreme angle, I don't get any weird color banding or a seam where the two sections meet.

I'm not showing y'all this to say "this is the only way to do this" or even "this is the best way to do this" because neither are true at all. I just wanted to show you how I do things. If anything, it's a cry for help. There are so many easier ways to do all of this but this is how I find it easiest for me.

I'm still not the best at lighting and I'm a little scared to venture outside of a black box or a white box because it's just easiest for me to shoot against. Every time I use a patterned wall, it ends up looking pixelated or banded. I'm positive I'm doing something wrong but I don't know how to fix it. I'm still learning. Any and all tips will be greatly appreciated, in fact. Please. Please teach me. 🙏

This is from before I made everything but the black box area blue to help me frame things better. As you can see, I was playing around with the effects machine from Showtime to see if I could make my backgrounds more interesting that way.

I ended up not really liking the result. You have to place like a thousand of these to get much coverage for the background but then it ends up being too much.

I feel like it looks a lot better without all the nonsense going on back there.

Someone who knows what they're doing give me some tips on how to do...everything lmao.

part of the reason why i find nightmare time episodes so interesting is because in half of them, i'm not even sure who the writers want me to root for.

take honey queen, for example. linda's the focus of it and we see her emotions, motivations & family, so it's expected that she would be the "hero" of the episode. but she isn't. the episode consists of her doing horrible things to zoey, zoey doing horrible things to her, and it gradually escalating to the point of kidnapping and murder. it's due to linda that zoey dies. and she gets what she wants, what the whole episode has been about her vying to achieve, but we as viewers don't feel satisfied, because how can all that's happened possibly be worth such a tiny, temporary, meaningless title? linda's father seems to be proud of her, which is what she's been hoping to gain and added an extra element of sympathy for her character. but in the end, he sacrifices her to an eldritch being because she "the hungriest". honey queen is tragic and comedic and messed up and chaotic and there are The Horrors and nobody is distinctly good.

and that stays the same in every nightmare time episode. so many of these characters wouldn't care a bit if they killed someone, as long as they were able to survive. but that's just hatchetfield. a strange community of selfish people with no clear morals, because that's all they know and that's all they can be if they want to survive. they have a magic child fighting ring, they have evil weed birds, they have clones in the technical department, they have an asexual axe murderer in the woods, they have a wealthy doting mother who's been alive for centuries, they have a 1986 foxbody mustang possessed by a dead psychiatrist, so on and so forth.

the whole hatchetfield universe is so surreal: this is a place where people go missing every day, where gruesome murders are dismissed unless it threatens their football team losing to the clivesdale chemists, where a character can do the most horrendous things or seem absolutely irredeemable, only for the narrative to put them through so much that the audience ends up loving them.

each character is so complex and unique (i could write an essay about literally any of them if i tried to- and yet that includes peanuts the hatchetfield pocket squirrel). none of them are meant to be all good, and none of them are meant to be all bad. they're realistic to their environment and screwed over by their universe and they all have their own lives to focus on.

the vast majority of the antagonistic characters are very beloved in this fandom, because this is hatchetfield, where the most horrifying things are normalised in-universe, so they begin to be for us, too. we don't think it's as awful when we see zoey's body hanging from the rafters, or watch boy jeri be killed by his own son, or see eldritch beings hunt people down, since that's all seen as far more normal in this world. besides that, people like to have flawed characters, it's good to have little fictional freaks committing atrocities since it means the episodes are completely unpredictable.

every volume of nightmare time is a rollercoaster or a fever dream, because they'll take the most unexpected characters and the most random concepts ever and throw them into a completely absurd plot. so many modern pieces of media follow a specific genre or structure, but the hatchetfield universe does whatever the hell it wants, and it's so investing to see. there aren't any limits here, and each episode is a separate timeline, so the creators can go wild and do literally anything with this town. it's like a treasured collection of cracky aus that have been written and performed astonishingly beautifully.

anyway, this is your sign to go check out nightmare time and @blinkysrewatchparty! it will be entirely worth it, i promise <3

My entire type is ugly old men who would probably give you tuberculosis if you slept with them and Marak has to live with the fact that he's the King of my corpse harem (which you're free to use as your new band name, just credit me/j)

1. Musical Beetlejuice

2. Rumplestiltskin from UOAT

3. Horrortale Sans

4. The Creeper from Jeepers Creepers

5. Frankenstein's Creature from Penny Dreadful

6. The Djinn from "Wishmaster"

7. The Leprechaun from those silly Leprechaun movies

8. Peloquin from Nightbreed

9. George Staub from the 2004 movie adaptation of "Riding the Bullet"

hi this is super tmi and nsfw but like

having the same genitalia as the person you have a crush on is so top tier because you can easily imagine getting them off as you’re getting yourself off and that’s on being a james potter kinnie
