Sabrina & Andrew for @slothseasims Love is Blind Challenge!
Sabrina Bishop Age: 24 Aspiration: Inner Peace Pronouns: She/Her Sexual Orientation: Bisexual Traits: Dance Machine, Creative, Self-Assured Occupation: Professional Ballet Dancer Likes: Wellness, fitness & gardening (more in CAS) Deal breakers: Lazy sims, no ambition or future goals.
Andrew James Age: 22 Aspiration: Party Animal Pronouns: He/Him Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual Traits: Hot-headed, Active, Adventurous Occupation: None (”in-between jobs”) Likes: Snowboarding, Rock-climbing (more in CAS) Deal breakers: Doesn’t have any
[more under the cut]
Sabrina Bishop;
Dancing is all Sabrina lives for. Making it as prima ballerina at age of seventeen, Winderburg's youngest principal ballet dancer — her mother's pride and joy. The world feels like its at her feet, but none of it was given, she has worked hard to earn her title. However, the spotlight has gotten pretty lonely. It feels amazing to be recognized and rewarded for your hard work and talent but it’s difficult to have no one to share it with. Spending most of her evenings alone with her cat has gotten old and so Sabrina seeks love, she wants a partner she can share her success with and someone she can cheer on as well. She doesn’t want a fairytale love, she wants the real practical thing. A love that sweeps her off her feet, but one where she is an equal to her partner. Where they can build their lives together and hopefully a love that lasts forever (or a really long time at least).
Andrew James;
No one knows how to party like Andrew James, at least that’s what all his friends say. This Willow Creek native is an avid thrill seeker, always looking for his next adventure and not giving a second thought to basically anything. Growing up, he was glued at the hip to his twin sister Addisyn — but somewhere along the way the two ended up drifting apart. She became more interested in the family business, while Andrew just wanted to have a good time. Signing up for Love is Blind was mostly a dare by his friends, but secretly Andrew is hoping to meet someone he can take back home to his mom. He’s never had a relationship that has lasted for more than a few months, but he has never met anyone that was able to keep up with him.

faith chambers & sam barnes for @slothseasims’s love is blind challenge
✝️ faith ✝️
21 || she/her || straight || unemployed || big happy family aspiration || family-oriented || jealous || loves the outdoors
❤️🔥 sam ❤️🔥
27 || he/him || heteroflexible/bicurious || registered nurse || noncommittal || music lover || romantic
about faith: faith chambers, or “faithy” as absolutely nobody except for her everyone calls her, is a pastor’s daughter, head camp counselor, and all around perfection. she’d rather be premiering as the newest addition to the cast of real preacher wives of del sol valley, but she needs to find a husband first. she has dated some in the church, but it’s hard to find a guy around her age who’s willing to accept the responsibilities of caring for pastor chambers’ only daughter (not to mention, that little conceited, toxic streak she likes to pretend she doesn’t have). she’s hoping to go on this show to find the one -- settle down, have kids, and establish a lucrative, multi-platform home/family/lifestyle brand on socmed.
fun facts
her dream honeymoon destination: mt. komorebi in summer
her dream wedding dress: the beo collection six dress
likes: hiking, singing on sunday mornings, one-on-one attention
dislikes: competition, being challenged, rock music
about sam: behind sam barnes is a string of broken hearts and bad decisions. for every person you ask him about, it’s the same answer: “i just wasn’t ready to commit” or “i’m too different”. he’s happy in his career as a pediatric nurse at willow creek children’s and having jam sessions on his days off, but he thinks something’s missing. he thinks that now, after recently starting therapy to explore his commitment issues, he’s FINALLY ready for that special person, maybe some babies, and to ride off into the sunset. and finding romance on reality tv is just different enough for him -- looking for a partner in regular life hasn’t worked, so this will. right?
fun facts
his dream honeymoon destination: san myshuno in the fall
his dream career: international rock star -- but he’d miss his patients too much!
likes: midwestern emo, IPAs, deep conservations (as long as you’re not talking too much about marriage)
dislikes: quiet, a lack of change, sub sandwiches
[i’d so put these two up for download with careers, for real likes and dislikes, talents and weaknesses, etc. if you guys want them and they’re not picked but !!!! omg i’m so excited.]
#love is blind challenge#ts4 edit#sims 4 edit#ts4#my sims#slothseasims#serious fr tho faith is so fucking toxic LMAOOO#sam is a little toxic but he rly does want to be better

shanks, four years younger than mihawk, is usually granted the "starry-eyed crush on the cool older boy" trope (with good reason!), so i was thinking it'd be cute to grant that dubious pleasure to mihawk in an age swap au instead.
mihawk, scrappy nine year old, gets picked up by roger for a trip on the oro jackson to the next island (roger just wants to feed the kid lol), and gets sweet talked into it by dangling a duel with rayleigh, the current world's greatest swordsman, as bait. when mihawk gets there, rayleigh says mihawk has to be able to beat his apprentices first, and gets his ass summarily handed to him by a thirteen year old shanks, who both impresses and embarrasses mihawk, as shanks beats him without even trying but he's so cool when he does it.
and so mihawk declares himself shanks's rival, and when he wins, shanks will have to listen to a request. and years and years later, when mihawk finally does win, that request--which he's never changed his mind about--is permission to start formally courting shanks. charmed, and absolutely having seen this coming after years of observing an obvious crush and slowly warming up to it as mihawk grew and changed between their meetings, laughs and just kisses mihawk straight-up.
#rei rambles#mishanks#one piece#dracule mihawk#akagami no shanks#red haired shanks#akataka#shanks#there's more but that's the gist lol#actually in the half-drabble half-outline i have going rn rayleigh makes mihawk fight buggy first (also four years older)#and after mi loses it leads into a haki lesson that shanks teaches and *that* ends in a tiny duel where mihawk falls in love#there's also prob a part later where shanks says mihawk is just blinded by his childhood hero worship#and mihawk says it was never hero worship and explains that he's never once put shanks on a pedestal.#he never expects shanks to be great and he doesnt make excuses when he isnt. shanks is just the only man who's always exceeded expectations#always challenged him and made him feel like he was basking in the sun.#he's been traveling for years now and has never met anyone else like shanks.#also i was thinking of keeping roger's death at mihawk's age of nineteen making shanks 23 when roger gets executed.#and mb having a scene inspired by james blunt's 'monsters'#i digress#the other optiom is keeping roger's death at when shanks is fifteen and mi having to cope w the realization that love is hard#and that u cant always be what someone needs no matter how much u want to be. and he'll learn it at the tender ag of eleven.#and then he'll find buggy and bully him into taking care of shanks in only the way an annoyingly arrogant fifth grader can.

I’m not sure if this is something you’ve ever done so if your answer is “lol no” totally fine!! But I was wondering if you’d be willing to do a kind of race breakdown of Laguna seca ‘08? Or maybe just of the key moments? I watched it and a) fucking loved it. Truly incredible. 24 laps of these guys within a second of each other like HOW???? Can’t believe that actually happened this sport is so insane. But b) I think maybe I just don’t know enough abt motogp yet but I don’t understand why Casey was sooo angry with Vale after? I get the 4th lap corkscrew send was extremely dicey but like…the rest of it just looked like hard racing to me??? Am I missing something?? And Casey seemed to be racing him BACK just as hard? Even when Casey goes off & falls that wasn’t even really fully Valentino’s fault, I didn’t think? Like his overtake pushed Case a bit wide, BUT they’d just been trading overtakes back & forth, and also it looked like his original push wasn’t enough to make Casey go off but then Casey kind of made a mistake and wobbled a bit further into the gravel? Am I wrong?? What do I not understand yet lmaoooo help me batsplat you’re my only hope <3
yay laguna 2008 enjoyer <3 okay so, full disclosure, somebody sent me an ask about this... uh, quite a long time ago. and it's something I do want to do because a lot of my casey posts keep dancing around how I don't have a specific laguna post to refer back to. AND it's so key to the psychology of that rivalry that you do kinda need to go into the weeds with that race to really get their whole deal. AND it is a race I have extremely extensive notes on, in terms of the build up (which I've obviously already posted a lot of on this blog) and the aftermath, but also for the race itself. so this WILL be posted at some point, hopefully like. this year
the main stumbling blocks have been a) for lap by lap analysis, it makes sense to have a bunch of screenshots. which is finicky anyway, but even more so with tumblr's image limits. just takes time to do - and I've been busy enough these last couple months I've mostly been posting things I write up quite quickly. and b) that sense of... well, it's fine if I do it in my own notes where it's just for me, but if I'm posting analysis in public - even if about four people are reading it - I am deeply, deeply aware of the gaps of my knowledge in this sport. like, I've done my due diligence in that I have read as much reporting as possible about the race, listened to both versions of the commentary I have available on numerous occasions, etc etc. but I've only ever posted sports Analysis online for tennis. which is a sport I am actually an expert in, and feel entirely confident in my ability to analyse as well as anyone. tbh. and the contrast does make me painfully aware of my own limitations when it comes to analysing An Actual Race in motogp, like you can tell when someone doesn't know what tf they're talking about
which is particularly pertinent given that my read on this race does take a somewhat sceptical view of some of casey's assertions, based on all of the evidence I have at my disposal. and I am wary of that, because obviously he would know a lot better than me!! one problem is that casey does lean into rather vibes-based descriptions himself at times, which aren't particularly easy to fact check. like, he talks about being able to read other riders' body language on the bike and just never quite feeling on the same wavelength as valentino. which may well be true, but obviously I have absolutely zero way of assessing that
with laguna specifically, he's repeatedly said that while he DID have a problem with the corkscrew overtake, it was actually a lot of the other stuff that was bothering him too. as far as I understand it, a lot of it's about the lines valentino was taking - which is more about defending than the actual overtakes. I think the main actually identifiable culprits are... first of all. how valentino behaved down the main straight, with casey consistently getting a better run out of the last corner and the ducati straight line advantage giving him an edge in that bit of the track. after having been overtaken on the inside of turn 1 early on, valentino took care to hug the inside before running casey wide towards the outside edge of the track - making it so that any overtake into turn 1 would be quite dangerous. now, it's worth pointing out that an overtake into turn 1 is ALWAYS quite dangerous. the rider consensus on that turn (which is really more of a kink in the track before you get to the tricky turn 2 hairpin) is that it's more terrifying than the corkscrew - very fast and because of the elevation change, you're taking it completely blind where you quite literally cannot see the track ahead of you. one of the truly all time great overtakes in the sport actually comes in 2011, casey on jorge into turn 1 around the outside. it's something casey specifically is just crazy skilled at, to an extent where he's said that HE doesn't find it dangerous because he knows he can pull it off. but it is always a helpful reminder that laguna 2008 was very much an insane guy-off. valentino started it but casey DID respond, and repeatedly overtakes valentino at the most terrifying bit of the track. his perception of what is 'risky' or 'dangerous' is still not exactly in line with that of normal people
the other substantive critique is... well. casey hasn't quite gone all the way on this, but he certainly flirted with accusations of brake checking. which would obviously be quite a serious allegation and it's the one specific thing he said which valentino didn't take kindly to - most of the other stuff valentino just brushed off. again, casey's not gone all the way here.,, and this one also isn't easily verifiable for the layperson. you can definitely see that in the lap where casey crashes, valentino is taking some.......... uh. creative lines, like one of the corners after the corkscrew he does LEAP across the track to a comical extent. it is reasonable to believe that valentino was deliberately mixing up how early or late he was braking to unsettle casey, and something like that might have helped cause the crash. casey at this point was frustrated enough that he was really hugging valentino's back tyre, maybe even in order to try something before the main straight this time. when he almost runs into the back of valentino, he does have to adjust his line and is too hasty in trying to make up the ground again on valentino... which leads to the very slow tip off where he runs his bike from the shallow gravel into the deeper stuff. his mistake, yes, but did valentino contribute to it? and did valentino cross any lines in doing so?
the one thing casey has said where I do kinda call bullshit is him writing in his autobiography that some of the sketchier stuff wasn't shown by the tv cameras. maybe he doesn't feel like they provided the ideal angles, but for the duration of that battle casey and valentino are on screen like. a decent 80-90% of the time. I made a note of every time they switched away from them, and it really isn't a lot - certainly not for any overtakes minus that extremely annoying thing in lap four where casey is clearly sizing up a move into turn 1 and they randomly show hayden's back camera. neither myself nor the commentators were particularly thrilled about that, but it's casey's move and almost certainly the only actual overtake the cameras missed. casey says "a couple off moves off camera added to my frustration" which... this does feel like a bit of a sleight of hand tbh, like buddy you're going to have to provide a little more detail there on what exactly you think the cameras avoided showing. it's not like the tv direction is attempting to stitch him up here - they were eating this shit up and wanted to show every last second of it
in general, this is something that's true of a lot of casey's criticisms about this race: he's talked about it a lot, talked about how much it changed for him, but he does have a tendency to dance around actually making specific complaints. if you're being generous, you can say that he'd get a lot of shit for doing so. but, well, it's not like he's exactly holding back when criticising valentino a lot of the time. if you think he brake checked you, then just say that!! in one of his more valentino-esque traits, casey does have a tendency to heavily hint at a substantive accusation without QUITE spelling it out. it's the same trick he pulls with the suggestion that valentino blocked him from yamaha... which he obviously implies very heavily in his autobiography, but doesn't ever actually say outright. and it's a pretty neat trick in that it does allow certain talking points to get assimilated into popular narratives without setting them up to be fact checked. which is fascinating in its own right and a necessary corrective to the general narrative of casey as a forthright straight shooter who hasn't put a lot of thought into how to sell himself, but it's also a bit annoying if you're actually trying to assess 'the truth' of what happened. please, casey, enough talk about how you learned of the darkness in men's souls on that day... a little more detail, I beg
now fwiw, I do actually think casey is perfectly justified in complaining about valentino's riding. the main reason for this is that valentino himself has merrily confessed he was willing to do anything to stop casey from winning that race - which means that casey's belief valentino was ready to crash them both out was 100% correct. you can quibble about the specific moves, but at the end of the day valentino did obviously go into this race with the aim of intimidating casey. he could have injured both of them in order to prove a point, and I think that is something you can entirely reasonably take issue with. 10/10 for execution, good job on not actually crashing (even though a bit of his bike actually broke during the corkscrew overtake so it was completely lap of the gods stuff) - but that doesn't necessarily make valentino's approach morally defensible. casey's problem, of course, is that you have to say that it did WORK. if ever there was a single race that won someone a title, it's probably this one
which obviously just sucks for casey!! it plays into so many of his issues so perfectly that OF COURSE it's not something he's going to easily get over. and this is something that I do want to discuss in more depth in the actual laguna post, since it's definitely more my wheelhouse than analysing motorcycle overtakes - but my god was the psychology of this race horrendous from casey's pov. and you're flirting with quite a thin line where... I don't want to dismiss casey's interpretation, I think it's a reasonable stance to take, but also what's most fascinating to me is the emotional side of things. where it's less about completely rational assessment of whether xyz move should be allowed, and more about what casey felt - which is obviously also the arena valentino was interested in, more than actually winning the race. that's the selling point of this race: usually, you deploy tactics based on your understanding of your opponent's psychology to win the race you're actually in. valentino's primary goal was to get into casey's head and make him suffer. this was a long-term investment, right... and assessing exactly what it did to casey emotionally, why it felt so awful to him and how valentino achieved the desired effect - that's the really juicy stuff to dig into
there's also something else worth addressing here... part of the issue is that your perception of the racing is going to depend on what version of the sport you're most familiar with watching. a lot of the actual hard racing from laguna 2008 probably won't register as particularly out of order because there's also been a bit of a shift in riding standards in the intervening years. in 2011-12 the three competitive aliens kind of got away with dialling the aggression way, way, way down - just as a group taking a very conservative approach to what constituted an acceptable pass. 2013 reverses that trend, first and foremost because of marc joining the premier class. since then, the amount of aggression has generally crept upwards. there'll be several different reasons for that - rivals having to adjust to marc's level of aggression, the speculation that moto2 as a category was producing crazier rookies (this was a big talking point in 2017 with zarco, who valentino memorably had his issues with), and also technical changes. in the current formula of the sport, it's just a lot harder to overtake - and a lot of the previously common styles of overtaking also just wouldn't really be feasible nowadays. so you've got a lot of block passes, divebombs, shove it up the inside from a mile back (because that's as close as you can generally get to your competitor) and hope for the best... overtaking with contact has been completely normalised - something like pecco's first (?) cut back on marc in jerez this year would have been controversial in a different era, but now basically everyone just went 'good job yeah'
how you feel about this shift is always going to be a matter of personal opinion, and I'm definitely not completely in the laissez-faire camp on this myself - but it does undeniably mean you need a bit of extra context for what was considered 'hard' racing back then. and yes, obviously valentino himself is to some extent directly responsible for this shift. it's not like he never complained about other riders back then, he's always had a stance of 'fine if you can pull it off but don't be an idiot', but he definitely became more uncomfortable with some of the riding by his competitors over the years. which is ALSO a reasonable stance! riding aggressively by the standards of your time doesn't mean you have to take a complete carte blanche approach to all hard racing for evermore. it's their lives at stake, at the end of the day, so I do always feel like people should afford riders an open mind when they're giving their opinions on aggressive riding. even when their opinions vary rather dramatically. one moment that always sticks out to me in illustrating this shift over time is casey overtaking dani in motegi 2008 and gesturing back to apologise for pushing him wide. and......... I cannot stress enough to you how harmless that move looks to my eyes. it does not even register as hard racing to me, let alone something that would warrant an apology. things really have changed
then again, obviously you do have to remember that casey's complaints weren't exactly popular back then either. yes, you can chalk some of that down to favouritism towards valentino - but I've gone through quite a lot of forum posts too, and even the neutrals/casey fans really did love this race and took issue with casey's complaints. the commentariat certainly did - including sources I personally don't view as biased towards valentino over casey. everyone was super excited to HAVE a battle like that again. proper racing had become so rare in the 800cc era that this felt like a real throwback to the golden age... casey was never going to get much of a sympathetic hearing from a fanbase who had gone from the glory of the 2006 season to the dire tedium of 2007. it is casey's misfortune that he not only had an approach to racing that is less appealing to the casual fan, but also just happened to emerge as a frontrunner in a season everyone already kinda hated for non-casey reasons. almost everyone felt like he overreacted after the race and had conducted himself poorly both with valentino and in the media. that's why he apologised for what he'd said a few weeks later when they reconvened in brno, saying it had been a heat of the moment reaction (an explanation valentino readily accepted) - but obviously this is not an opinion casey earnestly held. the psychology of that apology is obviously fascinating in its own right, like that must feel like shit to have to do,,, but it is another bit of important context that gets forgotten about sometimes. it's not that casey's complaints are illegitimate - it's just ALSO likely that his stance has been made more radical by how truly awful the whole experience was for him, in ways that aren't just related to the literal riding. and at a certain point, he kind of needed to make sense of all of this, come up for a narrative for this race to help keep himself sane. if the world thinks you lost a race because you were a weaker person, perhaps you need to tell yourself you lost because you were a better one
all of which will be discussed in a lot more depth at a later juncture! even in this post I've deliberately kind of buried the lede in terms of where I'm at when it comes to the psychology of this race. this IS a race I obviously just have.... so so many thoughts about, always - which is why responding to this was so quick and easy lol, no consulting my notes required for any of it. at some point all of this will be written up with actual sources provided and lap-by-lap analysis. it's such a fantastic little case study for how sports psychology works, like I could write research papers on this thing. love the race, love them both, don't particularly want to side with either of them in their interpretation of this race but enjoy both sides and think they're both Valid. we'll never see the like again
#//#batsplat responds#brr brr#heretic tag#casey DOES seem to race him back just as hard doesn't he#YOUR reckless block passes versus MY sensible blind corner overtakes at 160 miles per hour#narratively obviously a massive issue with casey's career arc is that he doesn't really have to apply the lessons he learned at laguna#like yes the off-track lessons he learned from valentino provide a nice culmination of his arc at jerez 2011. but on-track?#casey and jorge are both individually insane and have plenty of fun backstory/past tension#but by the time they were title rivals... damp squid. valentino actually a problem here because he made the pair of them so drama averse#like obviously it's lovely for casey he got to sail to a second title but it's also distinctly unsatisfying. nobody really challenging him#walks around the entirety of 2010 with a big pout saying if valentino tries that shit again he'll SHOW him and then it's just. nothing#as funny as casey's schadenfreude is and for all the narrative juice of jerez '11. still the biggest regret of vale's ducati thing to ME#like if valentino stays at yamaha then he maybe has a shot at 2012 but not 2011 idt - still going to make casey work for it a bit more!!#whisper it softly but the way casey responded to motegi 2010 u do kinda feel like he was gagging for the chance for some proper payback

[fic: double-blind] Question for extremis!Tony: you mentioned making it up to Peter after realizing the cure didn’t work, where do you first go from there? Obviously Peter did enjoy the sex even if it wasn’t all genuine, and the kiss after super genuine, are you capitalizing on that?
"Capitalizing." You people really think I'm just an opportunist, don't you? I did what he asked me to. He would have to work pretty hard to make me believe it was something he actually wanted after that stunt, so no, I wouldn't "capitalize" on anything.
I'd hear him out. I'd give him what comfort I could. I would show him that I love him and wasn't angry with him and would never hurt him. I'd build him a better world. I'd ask what he wanted to see in it. What else could I do?
#fic: double blind#double blind: tony#ursa interlude:#my favorite take on what would ACTUALLY happen if the cure plan failed#is that peter would lose his ever-loving shit and go full scorched earth#and finally finally throw everything that tony did in his face and try to force him to face up to it#and ultimately challenge him to PROVE extremis didn't change him by either willingly taking peter's cure or making his own#because he could always re-dose himself with extremis if peter was wrong#but peter would never believe it unless SIM put his money where his mouth was#and SIM would insist on delaying until his plans were in place but actually ultimately would agree#once he realized that peter really was 100% going to freeze him out otherwise#(but peter's initial ploy would still be necessary/worth it because tony would never accept--)#(--that peter really disliked/distrusted him that much without that step)

In her free time, she navigates San Myshuno to tour the art museums and participate in some Karaoke events. Despite her sweet and mild demeanor, she led an extravagant flapper lifestyle in her past that left her with some esteem and trust issues. It took her decades to work on herself to hopefully find someone kind and dependable to match up with in this romantic experiment.
(A fake occult for @slothseasims Love Is Blind!)
◈Background◈
In her youth, Deborah Hoppkins was the wild middle child of a low-income human family. She developed into the typical teenage runaway tha sought to experience the roaring 20’s at her own leisure. Partying was all she was known for and what got her mixed up with messy company. As a way to fund her lifestyle, she became a small-time jazz singer. Now going by “Debbie Davis’, she sang at any dingy club that would accept her.
After a successful performance at a nightclub, she attracted the attention of a rather dark looking group of vamps in the audience. Being drawn in by either the devilish taste for danger or paranormal allure, she quickly fell into their circle. First as a curious observer, then as a willing blood donor. One of her vampiric paramours, Lucinda, was able to sway her into converting her into a vampire with sweet whispers. Which started her long rocky relationship with Lucinda.
After the chaos of having to deal with vampiric melodramatic love dynamics, Debbie slowed down on her night time shenanigans. Parties and dancing can only take you so far if you yearned for more. Soon she found a new passion, which was writing. The lulls between gatherings were always accompanied by books, so it was not a stretch for her to want to write them. Started off writing for pulp magazines, to eventually full length romantic novels.
When she earned enough, Debbie settled down in her current high rise apartment in San Myshuno. She spends her time writing romantic epics with some free time at the Karaoke Bars. She started to find her own true identity and self away from being the aimless good-time girl for others. Finding herself to be almost content with her life.
Five years ago, she was reached out to by a young lady while Debbie was on her way for her weekly plasma fruit restock at the local farmer’s market. It turned out that the young woman was her great-great niece who came all the way from Windenburg. She managed to reconnect with her descendants, often visiting during holidays with the occasional video call if her deadlines don't swamp her. As she spends time with her family and sees how all her nieces and nephews have formed families and healthy relationships, the more she realizes how much she yearned for the same. She can only fill that void in herself for so long through writing romances.
◈Relationships◈
Soon after leaving home, Debbie was briefly married to an older man but separated a year later when he wanted a more traditional homebody type. For him, it was more of a passionate affair that cooled off quickly. Only after that did she find out that he was already married in another city with children as well. She kept his last name, Davis, since she loved the alliteration. Thanks to the lively atmosphere of the party scene, Debbie was able to explore her sexuality. She was able to see that her connection with women could be beyond platonic. Even if it still had to be kept in the backrooms. From time to time, she still found some connections with men too. Most of those relationships were more situationships than full relationships that she hoped for. Her next serious relationship was with Lucinda. Lucinda was a big personality, which Debbie truly admired. Big personalities also lead to big problems. In the end, Debbie realized that this abusive relationship had no hope of improvement, despite her efforts to overlook and work on Lucinda's faults. Her other relationships between Lucinda’s breaks and right after were just as messy and complicated. The expectations of being a party girl didn’t set her up for a suitable choice for relationships in others' eyes. It was only when she pulled herself from her old group’s sphere of influence did she get a break from that reputation. In her current life in San Myshuno, there have been the occasional date or so but it's hard to keep up with shifting dating styles and expectations.
◈Occupation◈
Due to all her wild experiences and romantic outlook on life, Debbie took on writing as her next pursuit. She has written many romantic series in the past decades. Some of which are inspired by her passionate and chaotic love life as a young woman and a fledgling. The leads enter into dramatically messy couplings and love polygons. Although, her most recent works have the leads heading for more stable love lives, but with enough intrigue to keep her readers hooked.
Her eyes are now set on establishing her own book publishing house to cater to those interested in all things romantic and dramatic. Currently in the process of finding and buying back the licenses to her whole catalog of books..
◈Likes / Turn Ons◈
Writing
Cleaning
Art museums
Karaoke/ Singing
Watching Ballet and Opera
Reading and discussing books
Enjoys colors but thinks she can only pull off black and white
Clean Cut
Talkative
Level-headed
Practical
◈Dislikes / Turn Offs◈
Messes
facial hair
Vampire Hunters
Argumentative
◈Dealbreakers◈
Debbie is unable to stand being in a relationship with those with no goals or are indecisive about relationship status. She was with many who dragged her along with hope; only for nothing in the end.
◈Doubts◈
Debbie desires for a stable relationship with someone practical who keeps her grounded. Though she fears that her past habits of falling for overly vibrant people will drag her to another limbo of a relationship.
◈What would She like from this experiment?◈
Dating is an intimating thing for someone so out of the loop. Having it mostly be online has made it even more fickle for her as well. She just hopes to someone to connect with and able to trust fully.

It's not only love that makes you blind.
Day 3 : Overcome/Blind
@daily-writing-challenge
Stood against a wooden post, arms crossed against his chest. He counts. …5,6,7… With each woman accompanied by a guard who passes in front of him, Maxwell counts continues. He is divided in this affair, on the one hand he finds the situation amusing. To see this hustler in front of all his victims and to do to the consequences. And on the other hand, he is disgusted. This kind of case always disgusts him. Maybe he's getting more emotional with age? Or is it the fact of having been around Iseult for too long that has done this to him?
By seeing his cousin Amelia coming towards him, Maxwell leaves his thoughts to be attentive what she will say to him. She doesn't really know where to start. A thank you perhaps? Yes, it is a good beginning. Amelia thanks him for helping her to unmask this man and for helping her friend. Usually, she prefers to handle this kind of case alone. But sometimes having help from family. It's also convenient. They exchange a handshake of which they are the secret. The smile on their lips, happy that all this case is finished. Maxwell knows that others like him exist and he will be happy to track them all down and take them to jail.

Small, Premature Announcement
The majority of my followers here don't know this, but back in 2020 I earned Affiliate status on Twitch. I streamed nearly every day for anywhere between 4 and 12 hours, depending on how I felt. Over time, this tapered off to occassional streams every month or two. I'm not satisfied with that.
Come some time in September or October, I plan to take streaming seriously again. I'm going to take time to make all-new channel art and emotes, clean out my streamer discord server, and evaluate my school schedule to find 2-3 days a week I can stream. I intend to start with Fromsoft games, starting with Dark Souls Remastered. I'll consider chatter suggestions, too.
Additionally, I'm going to try uploading my VODs to youtube, maybe edited into 30 minute parts so they're more accessible.
I want to take streaming seriously again. It's a lot of fun and I love entertaining people. I really hope to see some of you in my chat or discord community :)
#eli talks#stream stuff#i have a history of also streaming art too :)#the challenge is that i have played a LOT of games so like#blind playthroughs may be rare#i don't mind replaying most games though#and there's plenty i played MOST of but never beat (like dark souls)#listen#im a really silly but chill guy. youll love me

every time i get a new video game i always remember violently why i never actually finish any of them and the reason is because i hate time trials and get stuck and frustrated and get anxious about it and cant progress :/
#otherwise rpgs are my favs#but time trials suck#especially in main missions...ugh#anyway being able to turn off timers should be part of video game accessibility like subtitles or color blindness adjustments#like making me anxious doesnt teach me how to use the abilities my guys#making me complete a certain objective/combo a specific amount of times? fine#but being able to do that all in 14 seconds? fuck you#its funny too cause when im not being timed to complete it i can do it just fine and even quick#like in genshin how domains tell you how long it took? thats ok and i love to see it its cool to see how fast i can do a challenge#but being forced to complete a challenge in under a minute? i break down#i think this is an adhd thing tbh my parents used to time me while i did homework and it really fucked me up :<
