Just one big introduction

Hi, everyone, I'm here to make a PROPER intro of my girl Dana here~ Look at her, being so cute >< I've already made her intro on a previous post you can see here but I'll quickly recap.

Dana is a 26yo living alone in San Sequoia (yes, I still haven't solved the issue of remembering wth is her neighborhood) and for now, she's working as a retail store stocker part time. Her biggest dream is to be a mom! And her biggest fear is to not fulfill this dream. And on the random facts about her, her favorite color is orange, she has a tattoo on her lower back and is very not into small talk lol.

Her story is quite relatable (to me at least) - she left home, and I still don't know where it was, if she lived with her parents of if she had roomates after college, or if she went to college; but she left home to live alone where she is now. I think nobody ever understood what she wanted to do with her life so she decided to take matters into her hands and go for it alone. Although she has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She doesn't have a career dream but I don't see her being very concerned about this. She has other plans...

In other words, she's exploring. And in my opinion she's either gonna make it out gracefully like nobody before or she's opting for big mistakes and huge trouble. We'll see 🥳

Now last but not least !

I need to pay some honors to the AMAZING cc creators I used to make this lovely gal~ I apologize in advance bc i cannot link the post of the CC itself for my LIFE, but here's the creators:

> @simandy and @obscurus-sims for skins, overlays, philtrum (Obscurus does magic, I can prove it!) and her hair ! (Mandy ilysm)

> @pralinesims with Irene eyes and the Pomegranate jelly lips ! (i guess, maybe it's the mango juice)

> @trillyke for her jeans!

Other things on her outfit are basic game (first pic and her top on the second one plus the shoes) and I cannot remember whose eyelashes are those, but it's CC, so if you find the creator, TAG THEM HERE so i can tag them too, please. (I think it's named Kijiko eyelashes? maybe?)

This was our chapter 0 for this simstory. Next time, we'll be seeing Dana first days in her new home! Wait for it and thank you if you read up to here~

See you soon!

Christopher P. said that we already met the antagonist of book V. So next time I'll reread IC I decided I will write down the names of all the characters we meet. All of them. It will be interesting when I will be done

Currently attempting the apple muffin recipe sans nuts bc I have none bc I want homemade seasonal breads for my Samhain ritual. Recipe is from the 1974 printing of the Betty Crocker cookbook. I am vaguely anxious over it.

Muffins before baking.

And after. (I skipped the nuts in the topping bc I had none)

Now I’m ready to have libations for tomorrow's Samhain ritual.

Hi guys!

After reading a large amount of fanfic, and realizing I have an unhealthy amount of ideas in my brain that can't all be expressed through DnD, i've decided I want to try my hand at writing Fanfic. I'm posting it here just so I can get some feedback from real humans while I'm waiting on an Ao3 invitation.

This fanfic takes place in a Minecraft Origins inspired world. This is my first time, so if you have any criticisms or ways I could improve, PLEASE tell me.

Bright Stars in the black void

By: leolen

All was quiet in the town of Bracken Hearth. The children were already asleep, most of the adults were silent and ready to follow them into darkness. Even the sounds of the surrounding forests and valley seemed muted, like even the valley itself had fallen into a deep slumber. And with the moon having been darkened, the only light provided came from the stars, twinking away with their dim light. With not a cloud in sight, it was perfect conditions for a bit of star gazing.

But in the end, that night only two had their eyes on the stars.

CRACK! Gratin winced as a branch snapped under the weight of body, weighed down as it was from the heavy equipment slung around his back. It must have weighed at least sixty pounds, and they had been hiking for well over an hour up the side of the valley. At the sound, Milo jumped, startled until he realized what it was.

“Stars above Gratin!” Milo exclaimed, “Can you at least try to be a little quieter, you scared the crap out of me!”

Gratin gave him a baleful look and shot back, “I’m only here because you needed help carrying this thing up the trail. Next time, I won’t come, and you can do it yourself.”

At that Milo gave a little huff and continued climbing up the trail. Gratin hoped they were almost there, he was running on an empty stomach, and the nap he took this afternoon wasn’t enough to fully dissuade his exhaustion.

At last, the trees around the two cleared, to reveal a large grassy area. A few minutes of walking later and…

“Whoa…” Gratin whispers. No matter how many times he comes up here, the view from this bluff never fails to impress. This was surprising, as he had been to places much more expansive, and seen the world from angles few ever had. But even still, this bluff managed to take his breath away each and every time he stepped up to that ridge.

“Let's set up over there,” Milo said, pointing to a patch of grass a good distance away from the ledge, “The ground looks stable enough to set up the scope.”

“On it,” Gratin replied. And after a few minutes of Milo and Gratin fiddling around with the heavy equipment, a large brass telescope finally stood in place. With the telescope fully assembled, Milo began his work, mapping the stars and the constellations they formed onto large scrolls of paper. This was Gratin’s favorite part of the routine. Gratin carefully settled himself down into the grass—careful not to pinch his cloak in the wrong way—and looked back up at the sky and the stars that danced across it. As Milo hummed to themself while copying down the patterns he saw in the sky, Gratin felt himself drifting off into a deep, and restful sleep.

— • —

Milo loved the stars.

He loved how they painted the sky with light, even in the darkest part of the day. He loved how they wove together stories through the constellations they formed. And he loved how even though they would shift and change throughout the year, he loved how they would always come back together. And so, for the past year and a half, he'd been coming up to Cedarhead Bluff each week to see how they've shifted across the sky. To witness their beauty up close, and personal.

Hours after Gratin fell asleep, Milo noticed something unusual in the sky. It started as looking like a brand new star in the sky, appearing right between Glatoris and Minos Ursa. But the longer Milo looked at it, the brighter it seemed to get. This continued until the other stars seemed to pale in comparison to its sheer luminosity, and by the time Milo had shaken Gratin out of his slumber, it was brighter than the full moon.

“Gratin! LOOK!” Milo shouted, shaking Gratin back and forth. The light grew brighter and brighter, now revealing the sun in its intensity. Birds began to chirp, the forest startled into wakefulness by the violet light spilling across the entire valley. Even the inhabitants of Brakenhearth, still slumbering away in their beds, began to stir, their bodies still knowing its night, but confused by the seeming presence of the sun. It grew brighter, and brighter until,

It vanished, and the night was dark once more.

“What was that,” Gratin grumbled, still a bit annoyed from being woken up so suddenly, “It almost looked like a shooting star.”

“Not even meteorites are that bright,” Milo excitedly replied, shooting a glance back at a now awake Gratin, “This is something new! Something previously unknown! Something…” He trailed off, now looking in the telescope pointed towards the source of the unknown light. A look of confusion was painted across his face.

“Gratin,” Milo said, with a note of apprehension and fear audible in his voice, “Could you tell me where Dywyll is. I've seen to have misplaced it.

Dywyll? What was Milo talking about? Being in the Ursa cluster, it was one of the easier stars to find, even with Dywyll being one of the dimmer stars of the night. First find Sylaphus, then one down and two to the right…

No

Wait

That's not

Again, first find Alarch, then three up, and one the the left…

No!

Again! Find Rhewlif! Then two down, and one to the right…

Nothing

Gratin stared, a look of utter disbelief on his face, as he finally understood the look of almost terror that was now present on Milo’s face. No matter how many times he looked, no matter how many times he searched the sky using maps that had been long since ingrained into his brain, he would always come to the same conclusion. That in the sky, one of the dancers have misstepped in a way that shouldn’t be possible. Because Dywyll, well…

Dywyll was missing.

And once again, all was quiet in the forest.

i read robert mention i have to go watch it

[calibabii21]

y'all I feel like writing. take me to my laptop😣

[chimchiri]

So. A while ago I had the idea for interactive art polls :) Kinda like visual novels/choose your own adventure style. But since the ideas I had were to big and complicated, I had to scrap them.

It's been a while and with a now smaller idea, I think now is a good time to start it!

The setting is a simple dinner from AJ's POV. That said, I don't have much planned out in terms of story, so you are free to send in ideas and obviously choose AJs next steps.

I'll post the Index post in a minute and the first poll is scheduled for Friday evening (CET) :)
