#It didn't match any of the aesthetic of their other stuff so we're just as confused how it got there as the staff were.

[jbk405]

I'll add on the time I was in Croatia and I found a carved wooden rod with a handle on top, and I thought "This looks cool, hmmmm there seems to be a joint here just below the handle....IT'S A SWORD?!? (with a dagger)".

When I brought it to the counter they (a) didn't think it was theirs and then (b) didn't realize it was a sword.

The cashier actually had to call her boss to confirm she could sell it, and despite handling it herself and even turning it over and examining it never realized it was a sword.

I got it for €20.

i love antique stores you go to check out & theyre like “where the hell did you get this”

Sims Tag Game

Tagged by: No one, but I saw it going around and wanted to fill it out anyway. ;)

What’s your favourite sims death? I think it would have to be Cardiac Explosion. I just find the idea of a sim getting so mad that their heart explodes hilarious, I don't know why! ^^

Alpha CC or Maxis Match? I've always been pretty Maxis Match. If I were to go Alpha I'd have to change *everything* in the game to match otherwise it would bug the crap outtah me, and gosh, that would be WAY too much work. x___x I also just love the cartoony aesthetic a heck of a lot more.

Do you cheat when your sims gain weight? No, not usually. Only if the weight gain/loss was completely unrealistic to what I'd expect because the game's systems don't work the way I'd like. Sometimes I become attached to the idea of a sim being a certain way, but I usually let their natural metabolism win out in the game. I love me some soft, chubby sims! :)

Do you use move objects? Yes!

Favorite mod? Ooof, this is hard… I've become very fond of most of Lumpinou's mods. MissyHissy has a lot of great mods that flesh out the gameplay in a maxis-match way, too! Though I probably get the most use out of Wonderful Whims and Meaningful Stories; the game just doesn't feel right without them!

First expansion/game/stuff pack you got? Gosh, this was so long ago I can barely remember… it was probably Get Together or City Living.

Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing? aLIVE Mode, like "we're going LIVE to Bella Goth in Willow Creek!"

Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made? This is a hard one, because I love them all so much! 🥹 Philomena Velasquez will always hold a special place in my heart as my first Sims 4 legacy founder who was super fun to play (even though I didn't have a simblr blog at the time so none of it is documented anywhere). But I also have a major soft spot for Gabriel McKinley. She has the best resting bitch face. :D

Have you made a simself? Yup, I may be a little too obsessed with them, hahaha

What sim traits do you give yourself? Usually: Geek, unflirty, and either creative/maker. Since we can have more than that now, I might also add dog lover, loyal, and lazy (because it matches my ME/CFS symptoms closest).

Which is your favorite EA hair color? The second brown swatch, the new one with the nice warm highlights. :D Swatch #4. 👍

Favorite EA hair? I love the base game half-tied back tight curly hair, the one that was added in a free patch not too long ago. ^^ (SDX015CoilyTwistback)

Favorite life stage? I have a soft spot for all of them for different reasons, but I do really love it when my sims reach Elderhood and develop wrinkles and grey hair and start to slow down. :) Feels like a reward after a long, hard life! I love giving my elders a few more days using MCCC so they can enjoy being grandparents. ^^

Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay? 99% gameplay! I will occasionally build if the madness strikes me, but I usually rely on builds shared by others here on Tumblr or on the gallery. I'm not very good at designing actual buildings, and I get so caught up in decorating sometimes that it takes HOURS. x___X

Are you a CC creator? I am! I haven't yet broken into anything that requires Blender, but if it's a simple 2D .png texture edit I'm all over it. :D

Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad? Nope! It's just me, which is absolutely fine! I have friends elsewhere. I just really don't get on with Discord, and that seems to be where most simblr folks hang out in groups.

What’s your favorite game? (Sims 1, 2, 3, or 4) I've played all of them, and every time the new game was an improvement on the old, for various reasons. I played SO MUCH of the Sims 2 when I was a kid/in high school, it really stoked the flames of my life-long Sims addiction. While I've gone back and tried to play all the old games again recently, I just couldn't get back into them. The Sims 4 currently has my whole heart. I love the aesthetic, and there's so much content to it now I don't really want for anything that the older games had. (Except perhaps more chaos/whimsy/custom animations for various interactions. :) )

Do you have any sims merch? Other than the video games themselves, nope!

Do you have a YouTube for sims? Nope! Not really a video content person. ^^

How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing? It hasn't, much; though I suppose I keep finding new skin details that I fall in love with and start using on every sim, so you can see different phases that way. I might go a little maxis mix when it comes to some skin details nowadays. ^^;

What’s your Origin ID? Rheall

Who’s your favorite CC creator? Oh gosh, I have so many! For hairs, Okruee, Dogsill, and Simstrouble never let me down. I also love Shysimblr's stuff, SleepingSims, and Simtric's. Saurus' hair is still such an important staple for me, too! For clothes, Joliebean, Trillyke, LadyFu's recolours, Nucrests, Simkoos, Renorasims, Sifix, Jius, Rusty, Serenity, VIIAVI… Max20 has a chokehold on me for BB stuff, as does SIXAMcc, Surely-Sims, awingedllama and Ravasheen. Sorry, I honestly can't pick just one. ;____;

How long have you had a simblr? I started this one in Oct 2020, I think. Wasn't really in the Simblr community at any other time, though I did try to create some CC back in TS2 days on ModTheSims. ^^

How do you edit your pictures? I mostly rely on my Gshade preset to do most of the colour editing/DOF stuff, then I do a teensy bit more in Photoshop and apply TopazClean. I made a post about my current process here. I also have some older examples/downloads here and here. When I first started I did all my editing in Clip Studio Paint; Photoshop isn't a requirement to get nice screenshots. :)

What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far? This is also a hard one! I'm really enjoying all the stuff added with Growing Together. Definitely the best expansion pack in a while. City Living, Seasons, and Cats & Dogs are also fantastic. The game packs that add new occults, Vampires and Werewolves, are also good fun! And as far as added gameplay goes, Strangerville is a really great buy.

What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next? I can't lie, I'm super excited about the idea of a horse-themed pack, but I know it won't be as good as I hope it will be. X) As far as anything else? Hmm… I'd love more career variety in terms of how it interacts with gameplay (fewer boring rabbit hole careers, for example), and more apartment lots. Another city-styled world would be amazing, as well as worlds based on different places around the globe. I love Sulani, Mt. Komorebi, Tartosa, etc., let's get more variety! 💪

Tagging: I tag everyone who stops to smell the flowers. <3

In the Zone (3)

Based on the Phic Phight prompts: Danny and co. go sight seeing in the zone and get lost. Maybe they have to navigate weird ghost logic/physics/laws to make their way home (from @ventisettestars). And Sam and Tucker maybe getting Pharaoh + plant powers? ecto contamination for the win ig (from @corvidspectre).

Chapter 3: The Metropolitan Realm

AO3 Link

[no applicable warnings]

The Ghost Zone didn't have mornings or evenings, or even days and nights, but the teens all woke up around the same time. Danny and Tucker snacked on beef jerky for breakfast while Sam munched on some mixed nuts for a protein boost. You know, road trip snacks.

"Yesterday was a mixed bag," Tucker commented with his mouth full, "but there's gonna be much cooler stuff coming along today. I'm sure of it. Like, I feel weirdly confident about this."

"You mean like a massive ghost city?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, sure, or a video game realm, or a wizard tower or something? You never know."

"No, look!" she pointed out the window. "A massive ghost city! Danny do you see it?"

"Adjusting course!" Danny said. He got up and sat in the driver's seat, flipping switches to shift into gear and taking them down toward the glowing green and purple skyscrapers in the distance.

"Woah!" Tucker said, finally catching sight of the city. "That looks kinda... modern, for the Ghost Zone, doesn't it?"

"It doesn't really fit the whole aesthetic," Sam agreed. "It's too sleek and... almost normal looking. Why is something like that in the Ghost Zone, dimension of the weird and slimy?"

"Is that a monorail?" Danny asked as they got closer.

He parked the Specter Speeder on the street. There was no one around, it seemed like. Tucker walked over to an abandoned hot dog cart, thinking he could steal some grub, but once he was standing where the line would be a ghost appeared on the vendor's side.

"What can I get for ya?" he asked.

"Two dogs with ketchup and mustard," Tucker said.

"Do you have veggie-dogs, and are they cooked in the same greasy water as the regular dogs?" Sam asked.

"I do, and they're not," the vendor promised. "I also got ecto-dogs."

"Ooh! I'll have one of those, please!" Danny said. The vendor nodded as they finished ordering and gave them their food, handing Danny his last. Since it was the Ghost Zone, where there was no money, he didn't charge. Ghosts held down jobs because they loved doing them, unlike people.

"Make sure you eat it before it eats you, eh?" Danny laughed and took a bite.

"Mm, even better than Mom makes." His friends looked at him with matching disgust. "What?" he asked, smiling internally. Ever since Danny had given them a common enemy regarding whose diet was right and whose was wrong, they hardly ever argued about the pros and cons of meat versus veggies. At least their food wasn't glowing. Once they left the line, the vendor disappeared again.

"Wait I just thought of something," Tucker said, finishing his second hot-dog before the other two were halfway done with their first. He walked back over to the cart, and the vendor appeared again.

"Back for more already?" he asked, then chuckled heartily.

"Actually, my friends and I are tourists, and I was wondering if you knew of any cool places for us to see while we're here?"

"Oh, sure!" the vendor said. "You're gonna wanna take the monorail to the boardwalk for sure! The best shopping is on Third Avenue, just past Wail Street. Oh, and if you can get a reservation, there's this great club on top of the Metropolitan Building, that's the highest skyscraper in the city. It's got great food, great music, and great views of the Zone, and it rotates, too, so you can see everything."

"Sounds awesome!" Tucker said. "I guess that's our day planned. And hey, where is everybody?"

"Oh, it's generally considered impolite to be visible in public places if you can help it, to preserve the city's picturesque quality, but since you three can't help it, I don't think anyone'll call you on it," the vendor said. "Mostly, they'll do what I did and show themselves when you talk to them. It ain't you're fault you're alive."

"Uh... thanks," Tucker said, then shook off the strange comment and smiled. "Thanks a lot!"

"No problem!"

The vendor vanished again as Tucker walked away to relay the information to his friends. They grabbed the things they might need out of the speeder, made a note of where it was parked, Danny activated its cloaking, since apparently being visible was rude, and they headed up to the nearest monorail station.

The monorail moved super fast, and Danny poked his head out the window to see how it worked. It seemed to be using ghost levitation to follow the tracks without touching them so the friction didn't slow it down. "That's so cool!" Danny said, making a mental note to try and replicate the phenomenon for some of his experiments back home.

The carnival at the boardwalk wasn't really anything they couldn't get at home, except that the Ghost Zone physics made the rides even more nausea inducing, to their credit. The carnival food was also as deliciously greasy and unhealthy as it ever was. Occasionally, ghosts would turn visible to talk to them, ask them if they were having fun, and what they were doing there, and say how they'd never seen a living person in the Zone before.

They asked some of the other locals about cool things in the city and Sam got so enthusiastic when she heard about the botanical gardens that they had to make it their next stop. Tucker and Danny didn't really understand her excitement, but every plant she went to see brightened at her presence, to the point where one of the employees made herself visible to compliment Sam on how attuned she was with nature. Danny gave he a smug smirk when the employee disappeared again.

"I don't have plant powers," Sam told him, despite the obvious way the flora reacted to her presence. "Stop being ridiculous."

After the botanical garden, they got directions to the Metropolitan Building. In the end, they didn't really need them, since it was about a hundred feet taller than any other building in the city and the only one with a huge, round disc on the top. The Metropolitan building, as it turned out, was mostly a tourist destination. It's many floors made up a combined hotel and shopping center, with the Metropolitan Club on top.

"Remember, we might not be able to get in," Tucker said as the elevator bypassed the shopping center to the club at the top. "We didn't know how to make a reservation, so don't get your hopes up." The doors dinged and opened on the top floor.

"Hi!" Danny said, and the host turned visible for them. "We didn't know how to make a reservation, but we were wondering if you might have room for the three of us tonight?"

"As it happens, we had a cancellation for a party of four earlier," the host said. "May I take your names?"

Danny started to answer but Sam cut him off. "You may not, please list us as Sam, Tuck, and Danny."

"Clever girl," the host said, writing down the names. "It's always smart to stay on your toes around here, especially while you still draw breath. Go on in, all three of you. Enjoy the Metropolitan Club." 

The club was fun, and just like the vendor from earlier had said, it had a breathtaking view. Danny convinced his friends to do ectoplasm shots, just to try it, and laughed when they took them and gagged.

"Eugh, Danny how can you eat that stuff?" Tucker demanded. "It's... so gross... so bitter."

"It tastes like how wet socks feel," Sam moaned. "I'm never doing that again as long as I live. I can't believe I let you talk me into that."

Danny took another shot from a passing tray, no-doubt being carried by an invisible waitress, and downed it in one gulp. "Ah, refreshing," he said, grinning at the revulsion on his friends' faces.

Once they recovered from the shots, they decided to dance.

"I gotta say, I really like ghost music," Sam said. "I wonder if I can buy a couple albums around here somewhere."

"We should check out the shopping center downstairs when we're done here," Danny suggested. "They've probably got lots of cool stuff, and there's no money or scarcity here, so everything's free."

"Good idea!" Tucker agreed. "We should totally pick up some souvenirs from this place! It rocks!"

They spent a few hours up at the club, enjoying the view, and the food, and the atmosphere, before heading down for souvenirs. Sam picked up some CDs and a ghostly portable CD played, just in case a normal CD player would get fried or something trying to play ghost music. Tucker got himself a Metropolitan Club souvenir T-shirt, and Danny got a key-chain for the keys to the Specter Speeder.

Finally, the three of them got tired enough to head back to the speeder. Danny pulled out the key to deactivate the cloaking. Nothing happened, not even a sound to indicate the car was there when Danny tried to unlock it. This was definitely the right place. It was the right intersection of streets, next to the right building, with the hot dog cart across the street. The speeder should be there.

"Did we get carjacked?" Danny said, frantically waving the key around and clicking buttons at random, hoping to hear the familiar chirping of the speeder. "It's gone!"

Tucker walked over to the cart, and the vendor appeared again.

"Good to see you again, you hungry?" the vendor asked.

"Actually, we just ate at the club you recommended, and it was great, so thanks, but it seems like our vehicle was stolen at some point while we were seeing the sights. I don't suppose you saw who took it?" 

"Oh, I'm afraid not," the vendor told him. "That's the side effect of most things being invisible. There are never any witnesses."

"Thanks anyway," Tucker said, then headed back to his friends, uselessly feeling around for the stolen speeder. "Give it up, guys. Were stranded in the Ghost Zone with no transportation, and no idea how to get home."

"We'll find a solution," Danny said determinedly. Sam nodded, stifling a yawn. "For now, lets head back to the metropolitan building and get some rest. We'll come back tomorrow and attack the problem again with a clear head."

"Shouldn't we call the cops?" Sam asked. "The ghost cops?"

"You think ghost police will be any less corrupt and useless than human police? Tucker retorted with a scoff. "Ghosts with jobs do them out of love for the job, remember, not a sense of duty to the community. If anything, ghost cops will be worse than human cops."

"He's got a point," Danny agreed. "Just think about Walker's goons. They weren't exactly paragons of protect and serve." He began to walk back down the street. "Come on."

Girl’s day out in Magix City?

Hi! Lets do this again!

I cannot believe I fell asleep 😭 I'm so sorry

Ok so as far as how this happened, 80% sure that Stella got bored and decided to drag everyone outside with her (The other 20% is would be Aisha wanting to go out rkwnenw)

These are all for different girls nights out? Starting from s1 jfnw

I like to imagine that Magix, as a planet, is a bit of a tourist trap. It's the capital of the Magic Dimension, it's the one place with a magical core that didn't have any form of life capable of fairy/witch transformations develop on it (the pixies we're always just kinda there), and it's at the center of the dimension

It probably has a bunch of to tourist trap stuff, a bunch of tourist trap stuff that Bloom is utterly enamored by

Stella brought her there because she thought Bloom would like and and she was right

Tecna staunchly refuses to let Bloom anything from these overpriced predatory businesses

Musa and Flora have already been to most of them, when they first came to magix, so they constantly make chit chat with Bloom

(Aisha has been visiting the Magix weekly to see the pixies at this point, so she's vv unimpressed by most of the stuff she's already seen and heard about from the pixies, but this event would happen sometime in s1 so she's probably not here)

Obviously Stella drags everyone to a mall at least once!

Set during s2, for Aisha bonding

Stella, Tecna and Musa are going crazy in the make-up store

Stella has gotten Tecna into make up at this point and she's going mad with power

You know those ultra weird and complicated makeup looks that no one would wear? Tecna is currently planning out 27 of those

Musa really wants to practice some intense make up looks for future performances (recalling her mother's old make-up looks when on stage)

She doesn't want it to be as intense as a proper opera look but she's always been enamored with the way her mother looked while singing

Stella....Stella.

Actually weirdly enough Stella tends to lean towards natural looks, but she wants to own 50 bottles of her signature lipgloss and is very picky about what looks good on her

Bloom is wandering around lost and confused at all the make up bc lord knows she's never worn that much before, Aisha is right next to her because she's never had to buy her own make up before....all she owns is lip stick/gloss and other basics

Flora is very nicely showing them around. Flora has definitely tried to make her own make up before so she'd know a lot

Lord have mercy when they go clothing shopping

They all have wildly different styles and would absolutely not shop at the same places for they are completely uninterested in eachother's styles, but they always, ALWAYS, have opinions on whatever their friends pick out

What I'm saying is that they come in like a title wave competely taking over their area of the store for who ever is shopping in that perticualr place. Cheers and jeers are offered for every outfit they see

They make a half circle and everyone just calls out what they think of what ever the current victim is picking out

They are very lucky they haven't been kicked out for being rowdy

Stella knows everyone there so they know she's just like that LMAO

Tecna shops at every place they go too, because no where sells distinctively Zenith stuff

Stella watches in amazement as the random clothing items Tecna buys all end up matching her aesthetic perfectly when together. She is taking notes

They're a menace every where else too

Musa buys some new speakers to subject Alfea to, accidentally interrogating the poor sales people about the specs

Tecna keeps having to go "I don't work here lady" in any tech shop she enters in. Like yes she knows about how all of these work, but you can't just demand she tell you because she's from Zenith?? Thats rude!

....Tecna gets into a screaming match with a rude customer

Stella is completely and utterly lost in the sauce of MALL

Bloom wander around a craft store forever without actually buying anything, because she already has pastels she barely uses she can't buy more but these ones are so pretty—

Flora slightly (very) agressively interrogates managers about their stores policy on off setting pollution and deforestation and taking care of nature

Aisha tries to get everyone to get some sport equipment so they can all go to the beach together and surf, and everyone tries to explain that they would instantly wipe out if they ever tried to do sports ball

I think right before a the Eraklyon ball, Stella would decide it's a girl's day out so they can spend all day getting prettied up before they have to get dressed. Manicures and pedicures, hair dresser, make up artist. All the fun stuff, all agressively comped by Stella.

I can see them jokingly argue about what they're wearing and doing with their hair. Esp Stella and Musa who have completely opposite tastes

Tecna and Flora are also teasing eachother about their opposite tastes. Well I mean Flora is teasing Tecna and Tecna is missing half of the joke. They wouldn't argue

Bloom: *goes for an outfit Stella would wear at like 13*

Aisha: we need to stop her from buying that empire flower dress, for her own good

Stella: absolutely not. She's happy, and she looks like a little princess

Musa: please let us stop her

Flora: die by my plants

Later

Some rando: *insults Bloom's dress*

Musa and Aisha: HOW FUCKING DARE YOU HER DRESS IS BEAUTIFUL AND ILL FIGHT YOU

Musa puts her hair down, and Stella goes wild (Musa is much like me in hating when her hair is down and always keeping it up unless it's an event that's worth taking her hair down. She also has a undercut and it sucks when you can't see it)

Stella tries to get Musa a super girly hairstyle, with curling iron, and Musa throws something at her

Aisha and Flora are the only one with a plan. Aisha because she was raised a princess, and Flora because she knows what she wants and isn't easily distracted like some people

Speaking of some people, Stella keeps getting distracted

She doesn't know if she wants to wear something in orange or blue and keeps fluttering between gowns

(I know she wears her princess ball dress, but Stella would never repeat outfits when at important events)

Tecna has just gotten into fashion last year and going crazy with the options. She is concidering...she is concidering....she is concidering

Stella and Tecna end up helping eachother, Flora and Bloom end up helping eachother, and Aisha and Musa end up helping eachother

Stella and Tecna are going bright and diva, Tecna offering technical prowess to keep track of everything they've seen, Stella helping her pick out things that make her happy and look flattering

Aisha is helping Musa style herself in something elegant, eye catching, and not overwhelming with her royal training. Musa helps her pick between colors XD. I can also see Aisha only really dressing modern because she was constantly stuffed into traditional gowns, and seeing Musa mix traditional and modern in a way that makes her happy (with some gentle and non expectant encouragement from Musa) Aisha picks out a couple things she missed (maybe the headband crown thing? Idk if she'd wear an actual crown bc she still hasn't had a conversation about the whole "completely stifling me for the entire time I lived under you. Did you know I was good at sports?? I didn't till I ran away!" But that thing looks really cool, and I can see Aisha wanting to wear something like it again. Keeps the hair out of your face when you kick ass and is stylish!)

Flora isn't much helping Bloom as she is encouraging her to pick what she wants. Flora and Bloom are mostly just throwing compliments back and forth at eachother

Musa: I wonder how we should accessorize

Stella and Flora running in from another room: DID SOMEONE SAY ACCESSORIZE?!

Flora putting decorative hair clips in Stella and Musa's hair: uwu

Stella putting headbands on Tecna and Bloom: uwu

They hit like every dress shop in Magixs....then go to their own planets to shop too

Tecna:

Musa:

Musa: your gonna fall

Tecna: my balance is perfect

Tecna: *wobbles out in the heels Stella picked out*

Stella vows to design a bunch of dresses for the next time they go to a ball like this...set up ^^

Maybe she designs Bloom's dress. Everyone thinks its ugly but Bloom, and Stella has never felt more accomplished

Musa, looking between a natural make up look and a intense make up look that looks like her mom's old make-up: FUCK

Musa probably ends up carrying Bloom around halfway through nfkskdke, they are a menace to these shops but Stella leaves big tips so no one ever bothers her

The whole time they're all showering eachother in jabs and compliments

Stella is determined to compliment everyone at least 20 times every hour

After Tecna gets herself sorted, she goes around helping everyone make keep track of their outfits nskwkwjw

Maybe after s3? Or just after the first movie Stella takes everyone to a spa

They deserve it, spa day, the entire fucking dimension nearly died again. They stopped it. If she doesn't get a break now she's actually going to lose it

I've never been to a spa before, so I can't ramble for multiple paragraphs about what they'd do but I can tell you that Musa, Tecna, and Bloom have never even done a face mask, Flora constantly treats herself to homemade spa days, Aisha has been to something like a spa as a princess but had never been to normal one, Stella...do I even need to say it? She probably has spa days marked on her calendar

Happy birthday Cater! 🥳🥳

"Ah, look at this one! It's so tiny~!" Cater cooed as the two of you looked through the cafe menu. "And this coffee has an animal face on the cream... say, d'you think the cream they put on coffee would go well with one of these treats?"

"I mean, isn't coffee cream the same as regular cream?" You chuckled, enjoying Cater's marvelling at the menu. Plus, unlike your companion, your attitude was 'the more, the merrier!' when it came to sweets.

"Ah~ I suppose that's true. The art's just really good! I wonder if Trey can do stuff like that...? Actually, this is coffee we're talking about." Cater shook his head with a laugh of his own as he placed down the menu and looked around the shop.

It was a small place, located in the Rose Kingdom not too far from Trey's family business - that was how Cater had learnt of the place. It was quaint, with white walls splashed with random red and black paint and tiled red-and-black floors. On the wall was a giant pocket watch clock, and on each table were red and white roses in rabbit-themed vases.

Cater had been checking out the place for a while, deciding the best times to enter, when the food was at it best, the perfect time that the natural lighting came through the giant store-front window, etc. Once he'd decided, all he had to do was call you, his good old cafe tourist buddy. He may or may not have made enamel pins.

Not that you minded. Any reason to get off school campus (and away from being Crowley's slave assistant) was a good one. Plus, you got a bunch of free food! What wasn't there to like?

"Did you pick on you liked?" You asked, taking the menu to look at for yourself.

Cater pursed his lips in thought and tapped his chin with his phone. Then he looked at you with his signature smile. "Hmm~ guess!"

"C'mon, again? I swear you do this every time we eat out alone." You reprimanded him good-humoured.

Scanning the list of items, you try to find what items you thought match his aesthetics the best. The cream-art coffee was a given, obviously, since it was something that Cater could actually stomach. So what would he be getting you to eat? The heart-shaped parfait? The bunny pudding? The card suit macaroons?

You settled on an item, pointing to it on the menu with your little finger. "You want the raspberry diamond tiramisu."

"Eh, they have those? I had no idea!" Cater exclaimed, taking the opportunity to look over your shoulder. He was forced back soon enough by your finger pushing him in the middle of his forehead.

"Don't lie, you've probably looked at this menu online like, ten thousand times!" You tell him with a knowing look.

He holds up his hands in defence. "Okay, okay, you win! You were right! I'm paying... again...~"

"C'mon, you didn't really make that a bet without telling me." You laughed, nudging him lightly. "You know I have no money."

"Sadly~ but when you do, I expect at least one cafe date in return, you got me?" The orange-haired third year held out his pinky, grabbing on to the one you had used to point at the menu with.

"Alright, fine. Let's just order already." You smile at his antics before flagging down a waiter.

"Ah, just before that!" Before you could protest, Cater swung an arm over your shoulder and pressed his cheek against yours, his camera pointed to both of you with a wide smile. "Say cheese~!"

"Cheese!"

~~

You smiled appreciatively at the staff as they greeted you goodbye, then did a short jog to catch up with Cater who'd gotten distracted by the pictures on his phone, not even commenting on the interesting noise the 'bell' made when you let go of the cafe door.

The selection was, admittedly, a lot different than usual. Usually Cater took pictures mainly of the item itself, maybe occasionally incorporated into a selfie-styled photo. Recently though, today especially, the majority of his gallery’s new additions were pictures of the two of you. One picture you noticed Cater seemed to linger on was one where you were holding the plate of tiramisu in one hand and catching him off-guard as you tried to feed him a spoonful with your other hand.

“Are you going to upload that one?” You asked.

“H-Hm? Oh, no, my face in it is awful~!” Cater quickly swiped on to the next picture, not realising you’d already caught up with him. “I was thinking more of the one where you were holding the one for the camera~”

“Oh, those were some nice ones. You could see the display case in the back with the right angle.” You nodded in agreement.

“My thoughts exactly~!” Cater nods in agreement before turning off his phone. “Ah~ it’s such a shame we can only visit a cafe once a day! There’s this one in the Land of Pyroxene that’s been trending like crazy lately~!”

“Is it near your home?” You threw the idea out there as the two of you turned the corner.

“Well, it’s not close, but it’s not far either.” Cater admitted. “Why?”

“I was just curious. I mean, you never post anything about your home.” You explained with a shrug. It was genuinely out of curiosity.

Cater took it a little differently. “You... want to see my house?”

“I suppose.” You agreed. “I’d get to meet your family, too. That’s more what you consider ‘home’, right?”

A blush spread across Cater’s face, one you thankfully didn’t pick up on thanks to the fading light of the sunset. “Well, I guess my sisters have been pushing me to invite a friend home... sure, we can go to one in the morning and the other in the afternoon!”

You smiled sincerely, then laughed a little as an idea hit you. “Maybe the cafe in the morning, so your sisters don’t get any ideas?”

“Ah, yeah...” Cater hummed in agreement, even if those ideas were what he hoped would be true. Your smiling face was enough to lift his mood though. “At least the morning lighting is usually good over in the Land of Pyroxene.”

“Of course that’s what you’re thinking of.” You say with a shake of your head, then stop walking suddenly, making Cater stop and look back at you. “Although, that reminds me...”

You pull your own phone out of your pocket and motion for Cater to come back to where you were standing.

Once he does, you try putting your arm around his shoulder like he did to you earlier and hold your camera up to capture both of you in frame.

“You have so many pictures of us, while I barely have any.” You explain to clear up his confusion. “So, now’s the time to get some of my own!”

Cater blushes once again as you turn your face back to your camera, only remembering to do the same when you nudge him, giving a wide smile when he does do so.

“3, 2, 1... say cheese!”

“Cheese~!”

Rating the walls of a room in my school just because I can:

This place is something like a Study room, it has books and magazines and a lot of tables and chairs and games like chess, 3D tic tac toe, a grid and some bottle caps for normal tic tac toe and a computer. It seems kind of cool to me, it doesn't have a certain aesthetic or like a color scheme, it's just really colorful. Even though the furniture isn't any set or something, it all kinda fits together imo, but I'm not good with this stuff, so maybe it doesn't.

As for the location, it's on the first floor, near the classrooms mainly used for languages (we have cool ones to pick from too, at least for me; all of us speak Czech cause we're Czech, we've got English as the second language and choose a third one after some time, the third one can be French, Spanish, German or Russian, but only two open) and the rooms where the teachers stay when they're free, have consultations with the student etc. (We call them 'kabinety' which sounds like it translates to cabinets but a cabinet is a piece of furniture so idrk what to call them).

First of all, here's kind of a blueprint or whatever, made by me:

The sizes of most stuff is probably incorrect because a) my memory is shit and b) even if I stood there while drawing this, I can't do the stuff where you take something and draw it smaller or bigger but with the same distances and stuff if that makes sense. It's not like a map so up isn't necessarily North (though it could be, I don't have a clue). This is mostly to show where each wall is and how close/far from the main entrance it is and stuff. Let's got then, starting with

Wall 1

Wall one is the worst of them. I know it looks really cool but before you get angry, listen to me. It is cool. That stuff on it are some quotes and poems and stuff, written on papers which are stuck to it (idk if it's glue or if they put it on there when the paint was drying, I literally have no idea). But most of the quotes are a load of crap. Some sound like they're from r/im14andthisisdeep (shit is it spelled 14 or fourteen in it? anyways you get the point), some are just.. dumb. They include "A mask, the only part of their face that people choose." and "What Johnny won't learn, neither will John." (Loosely translated, Johnny being meant as kind of a nickname which you usually call kids and stuff.), "There is only one truth, which is why not everyone can be right." (This one makes more sense in Czech but still kinda bullshit tbh), "A long shadow doesn't necessarily mean greatness." (Also makes more sense in Czech, greatness sometimes having the same word as largeness or whatever). Some are pretty cool, but most are trash. Example of the ones I find cool is: "Dictators ride tigers, scared to come down from their backs. And the tigers are getting hungry." I'm not really sure about what the last part is supposed to mean, if it's that the tigers will eat the dictators or?? but it's a great quote anyways. One of the ones I hate is "Laziness is the key to poverty." or some shit like that. They're mostly by dead Czech (or Czechoslovakian) politicians (noticed at least two ex presidents) or poets. But there was one by a guy who was probably a philosopher, idk, definitely wasn't Czech and to me his name sounded Greek but I don't really know and don't even remember the name of the man, the quote was something about not having friends. Cool design, probably made by students but I don't like most of the stuff that's written there, 6/10.

Wall 2

This is wall 2. I love wall 2. It has really pretty colors and there's bubbles. Radiates good vibes. Very nice. I don't know how to describe it, it's just beautiful and I don't know what more to say. 10/10.

Wall 3*

Wall 3 looks kind of ominous. Not in a bad way (is there even such a thing?) It has mystery/thriller novel vibes. The feet aren't painted, they had to color someone's feet and somehow get their footsteps up to the half of the wall and I think a) that's very cool, b) it would be fun to participate in/watch and c) it's very creative. The color of the floor is my favorite color. I like how the stripes on the "walls" of the hallway are probably supposed to be just striped that are painted on these "walls" but also look kinda 3D until you look at how they connect to the "ceiling." I am also in love with the "lights" and the way they reflect on the "floor." It kind of doesn't match the vibe of the room and looks less colorful somehow even tho there's a lot of colors, but it's neat. 9.5/10

Wall 4*

Wall 4 is my personal favorite, even though it's the smallest. It's very lively, has pretty colors and shapes that look really really cool to me, idk how else to describe it. I just love it a lot. 11/10, would stare at for hours.

[END, that's all of the walls]

*I'm sorry, I didn't realize how bad the photos of Wall 3 and (especially) Wall 4 are. Wall 3 is kinda cut off at the top. Wall 4 is cut off even more and it's blurry. I'll provide better pictures later, if I'm able to.

If anyone actually read this thank you, but why the fuck did you do that? You just wasted your time watching a teenage girl rate her school's walls. Anyways, I appreciate it a lot, because I put a lot of effort into this post (probably way too much). It was fun to do tho. Maybe I'll rate some other random stuff later? Maybe I'll update the ratings of the walls? Who knows.

**just realized that Walls 3 and 4 aren't actually cut off, it just looked that way. Anyways, Wall 4 is still kinda blurry, sorry about that.

why does it just look like something with a green filter on it. like there's no reds or browns or anything?? it looks so similar to the nature hood I can't believe it. like I'm almost CERTAIN this clashes with the other apparel we have, I'd love this in the carapace/raven armor colors. but instead it's just a jolly rancher mountain dew mess

what's with FR and "red things MUST have purple on them" thing recently. I will say that I'm very happy that it's not just Titan's Fall: 2, and I like that we got structures (which look nice), and the landscape itself looks nice! And the colors are nice together and very noxious, I'm just a bit confused by the heavy purples. also haha water looks like piss

otherwise I do actually really like the bg

and when it comes to skins.. not gonna post em BUT

- you asked for less rot skins so you get NO rot skins. no pustules of any sort

- so that leaves you with uh... mushrooms? mushrooms?? have 4 mushrooms. we're in a mood since the cave revamp

- and uhhh.

- ok you get one rot skin and one 2014 throwback

- and some bones. and aha! you thought this one was just bones, but it's actually more mushrooms

- have one with blue, to show we're hip to your cool requests to have a diverse aesthetic

- some of these are kind of hard to read. like your very long essays on your flight. please we get it

- ears? is this what you want? ears?

- and bug because that tundra accent slapped

and that's about it. I think the skin selection is kind of messy (they're nice skins, but like... weird selection, I didn't check the submissions though), and the apparel is terrible! the scorpion is fine and the thing about perseverance feels like a very strong nod to uh... recent and current Happenings. I really wish the apparel was just limited to the bones/potions or matched the colors of the carapace/raven stuff. heck even the scavenger tatters colors would be better. not just "you hid all but the green layers in photoshop." I don't hate it conceptually (yayy we're not all bloodthirsty murderers) and it's a bit better at being actual Clothing than things like the bird, so a properly plague-y recolor would do it some good. as is I hate the apparel though

RoR is. well I'll give them credit for listening and actually doing a variety of stuff but it's kind of. a mess

reblog with specifics to follow
