Chibis ~ 🤭

These were fun!! Some were specifically requested on Instagram and others were for me. Can you tell which ones were which?

[icarusgf]

ofc all of yellowface was incredible but these passages felt soo deeply personal to me like rf kuang cleaved open my head and scooped my brains out and pasted them into this book ..... like it's insane.

[flodaya]

Thinking about all the traditional stuff that we don’t know about they’ve done since 2021 to make up for the time they weren’t together, like people think they only got serious about their family since 2022 or 2023 but these two were marked forever since that Emmy’s congratulation call. everybody knew

they've been SERIOUS about each other and their families since at least november 2016 when Z dragged her new boyfriend to her family thanksgiving cuddling in front of all their salads, and he flew out of SF to London which means he met all of her Oakland family, "casual dating" is not in tz's vocabulary

Emmy Starr Makeover 😍

Hello, hello! Here's a new sim makeover!

So I made over Emmy Starr since she was the winner of my most recent poll, I think I did pretty good on her, she's definitely more stylish than before and I really only had to make her not look like she's staring into your soul.

Anyhoo, enjoy!

This Here Package contains: 1 4 Star celebrity

P.S, They should come with some of the CC used.

but if they don't, here are some links of the stuff I could find.

Hair | Eyes | Eyelashes | Eyelash Slider | Skin | Sliders | Top | Skirt | Necklace | Formal | Okay, so once again thanks to @auroraeternal for telling me where I can find the top, skirt and the necklace!

Anything I missed was due to the fact that I've had some of this CC since 2018 and I cannot find it, or pure laziness 😅

I don’t remember where I got all this CC, but a ton of it should be on my CC reblog account @ohcrapitsccfinds​ so head on over there for some CC!

LEO LARSON

full name: leonard "leo" michael larson

pronouns & gender: he/him, cis man

birthday & birthplace: february 9, 1996 (29); ann arbor, mi

location: ocean crest apartments

time in aurora bay: since august 2019

sexuality: bisexual

occupation: art teacher at aurora bay high school

@aurorabayaesthetic

about.

leo is a midwestern boy through and through. he was born and raised in ann arbor, michigan (go blue!) and really prides himself on that. he'll go to bat for the midwest any day.

he's the oldest of three, with two younger sisters who he'd literally die for. his extended family on his mom's side is incredibly tight; his mom and all of her siblings actually bought up a lot of the houses in the same little cul-de-sac, so leo grew up seeing his cousins more like his siblings. lots of game day barbecues that spilled out into the street, riding bikes around town, driving around because there was nothing else to do, the whole suburban experience really

his parents split up when he was nine and he has little to no contact with his dad, who moved across the country after the divorce. he loves his mom but she went through a long period of dating bad guys that hasn't really ended, so he definitely has daddy issues

he's loved art for as long as he can remember, and he was always gifted with it. it started with chalk drawings in the driveway and went from there. he went to a progressive, hippy dippy high school in ann arbor that allowed him to specialize and get together a portfolio for college

leo is. not smart lmao. but he is talented, which is what got him into a joint brown university/rhode island school of design program. doing the whole ivy league thing was really not leo's jam. he felt like he was too far from his family and had a hard time fitting in to the kind of upper class vibe at an ivy, but he was able to find his niche and really focus on his work because of it.

after college, a fellowship brought him out to san francisco. he loved sf, but the kind of snobbery that really repulsed him in college just came out in full force when he was trying to break into the art world. the fellowship was supposed to last two years, but he gave it up after one and packed up his whole life to move south to aurora bay

he's been in town for four years now, and during that time he worked on teaching certifications, sort of because he didn't know exactly what else to do. all he wants to do all day is paint, but he developed such an imposter syndrome on top of a distaste for the established art world, so he figured that teaching art would allow him to do what he loves everyday while also giving him a lot of time to work on his own projects

he got a job at aurora bay high school and lives to project the kind of cool, gay, tattooed hippie teacher vibe that his teachers in high school had. he still does his own stuff and shows at local galleries/maintains a website where he sells pieces. he also does murals all over town, in storefronts, on the sides of businesses, for anyone who wants one at affordable prices. he sells handmade jewelry at local artisan markets. he just loves to make art!

leo is a very simple guy. the only things that really get through into his brain are pretty things. flowers, trinkets, etc. his apartment is immaculately designed, he's always looking out for a cute new piece for his mantel.

family.

mother: bridget larson

father: michael larson (estranged)

sisters: daisy larson, emmy larson

tidbits.

he has a dilute tortoiseshell cat named robert, after robert rauschenberg, who he mostly just calls bob

he actually speaks fluent irish but hardly ever has a chance to use it. his mom is a first generation american and her parents were basically irish nationalists who only came to the states because they were so poor in ireland. they were all about keeping the irish language alive, so his whole family spoke irish growing up

he's a bit of a slut! he is ACTIVE on grindr and tinder and all the things. if your character is too, they've probably hooked up

basically, he's just a sunshiny pretty boy

connections

[away-ward]

Thank you for your reply, KO! This is the anon from #asked and answered 176.

1 yes i like your fics, i like no apologies the most because we had insights to emmy's career and life in sf. Emmy might find herself boring, but ive always been a busy body reader so i would eat up everything about her personal and professional life in sf. I still hated will there, but thanks to you i hated him 5% less

2 "Ummm. I do think it’s a little weird that you’ve read multiple PD books, and even finished the DN series… especially since you were looking forward to Will. Because I hated Will for the first three books and if I weren’t curious about Emory, I wouldn’t have finished the series at all."

KO, you've underestimated a loyal hate reader's journey of hate reading 😂 i love pd's writing and i love some of their books that were not DN because of the chemistry of the main lovers (theyre not bad as many have said actually), but i still hated the ongoing misogynistic dynamic that they always had in their books. Its like having an author that you majorly like what they do, but their side mistakes were big enough to irritate you so you remember them, kinda thing. Do you have these kinds of author that feel like this towards? To answer this simply: pd's books are like worms for brain for me. Like when i read books by Colleen hoover, or hd carlton, sophie lark, lauren asher, or susanne valnti &peckham. It's the kind of toxicity you need from time to time but still get mad and disappointed by your low expectation at their shit ass plot and mfcs and fmcs anyway, yk. 

KO, i cant lie, im just a hater first, a hate reader second and a reader third 🤣 once i stop, i cnat quit. Like damon torrance, that punk ass devils night philosopher said, sometimes you just want to feel everything including the ugly ones you know, and like michael crist the logician, you just gotta own it, before it owns you, GOD HAHAHAH i cant believe im using them as my metaphors right now!! Please bare with me here.

3 "I also find it equally weird that your first impulse after finishing a series you hate is to go to the tag of the character you hated the most? I mean, I’ve definitely clicked on hot-takes I know I’m going to disagree with and hate-read things, but it’s not my go-to."

hmm? KO, i think... youre just not as toxic of a reader than me, ohmygod, im so sorry! 🤣☠️ im really of those people that will immideately look up one and two star ratings on goodreads so that i know my feelings and thoughts were validated by other haters, lmao! Do not mind me, its not a good thing, but like damon torrance said, live, love, laugh, and hate, you know 🤩

4 thank you so much for your recs, i also actually grew up watching hana yori dongo! I watched the kdrama version too but idk if i'll watch the thai version. I have less patient for dramas now unfortunately, and the last drama i watched was "celebrity" on netflix, and i still havent finished it, even after 3 month ☠️ I used to love kdramas and lee minho was so popular back then, so i also watched him in "the heirs" too. Ohmygod his hairsyles in both dramas (boys over flowers and the heirs) were so funny, but i remember enjoying these stories a lot. I believe these two kdramas were released during the time where kdramas were having a lot more angsty romantic relationship than platonic ones and they both stood out among many others, not only because of lee minho, park shinhye and bunch of k-idols acting there, but also because of the friendships and platonic relationships shown that were fun to watch. It's a break from other dramas like moon embracing the sun, or my love from another star that were romance-heavy, yk. But tbh, i prefer my love from another star and moon embracing the sun more than bof/hyd and the heirs. If there are two recs i'd like to give you, they would be "hotel del luna" and "sky castle". God damn, i cried in every single episode watching these two dramas. They really touched my soul, everything was so good!

5 i havent scrolled through your blog and notice your recs for sempre, but from your recs, i checked and saw its goodreads rating and it's pretty high! Maybe i'll check it out if im interested. Seems like a mafia gang story? I need to be in the mood to be reading mafia stories because my first ones were from reading kpop mafia fanfics from years ago and the latest and the last one were the made series by danielle lori. The made series were entertaining but i noticed that i didnt care much about mafias? Hahahahah idk, and idc much about vampires, and wolf stories either, but i like faes. Not Sarah j maas type of faes, but holly black's and cassandra clare's. The ones that are beautiful, creepy, complicated and loves/have to lie but cant. So yeah, thanks for recommending sempre!

6 as for alex, im tired of her, and honestly i dont want to think about her anymore. I'll pretend nightfall alex never existed, and nightfall will grayson fucking died a gruesome death, becoming of two stupid selfish best friends who think theyre the only suffering in this world. You know this reminded me of a quote by madeline miller's Circe that really fits will's selfish behaviour especially in blackchurch: “He showed me his scars, and in return he let me pretend that I had none.” thats exctly how i felt throughout blackchurch. Because emmy always had to heavylift whatever bullshit that alexwillaydin put out to her. And as someone who was so used to just move forward and not caring about her small losses because she had suffered worse, emmy just had to act like she was okay with all the little hurts and cruelty cause by people, just because she loved them/will and wanted to not give up on him and give him a second chance, because he was hurting and she understood that he cared then (🙄). Good thing, she admitted she was at fault partly too, but god, i hated when she felt like she need to go above and beyond for a man who admitted didnt care enough about her. Gods, these mf men need therapy frfr.

7 "I truly am sorry that it was such a bad experience for you. You’re welcome to stick around, but I’m sure since you hated so much, you’re ready to move on after unloading like that. But it’s all good either way. I hope you’re on to better and better things." 

No need to be sorry, but you're right, i'm starting some new reads right now, and idk why, but kandi steiner, liz tomforde and laura pavlov really do be hitting with their releases!! Like their stories are not dark romance so tat cleansed me from devils night series a bit, and they are so fun to read! They gave me melanie harlow's vibes. If anyone's interested, i suggest checking out Blindside by Kandi Steiner, Right Move by Liz Tomforde, and all of these four authors backlogs tbh. Kandi Steiner even have like a college frat series? Which i havent checked out but it sounds fun, and its called Palm South University series.

I dont have anything else to add as well, thank you for reading my rants, have a nice day! I think this will be my last one, so goodbye!

KO, you've underestimated a loyal hate reader's journey of hate reading

Hey!! Okay. This is very helpful! Thank you for the insight. I’m not a stranger to hate watching/reading and (used to) do it frequently. And I would complain to all my friends about all the horrible stuff that was happening, but they knew I was having a good time.

It’s harder when I don’t really know who I’m talking to, to tell if I should take it seriously or if they’re enjoying the trash like me. We’re completely on the same page in that case so ignore very thing I said about not getting it. If you’re having a good time hating it, I got you!

i think... youre just not as toxic of a reader than me, ohmygod, im so sorry!

I might not be anymore but I definitely used to be, ngl. And I don’t know if you can end up running a DN blog without having some toxicity left in you??? I mean. We’re not here because this work was a masterpiece, am I right?

I don’t currently have any authors I must read/hate-read. Like I’ve said, I haven’t had the time to get into a lot of new stuff lately, and my tastes have changed. They could always change back, since reading is a mood-based activity. For now, though, I’ve left the dark and toxic behind for something that makes me feel good about the world.

i also actually grew up watching hana yori dongo! I watched the kdrama version too but idk if i'll watch the thai version. I have less patient for dramas now unfortunately

Oh my god the Kdrama! It was my first Kdrama. Fond memories. And no worries, I haven’t touched any drama in years. Truthfully, I think the only reason I can get into the Thai version is because of the familiarity.

but from your recs, i checked and saw its goodreads rating and it's pretty high! Maybe i'll check it out if im interested. Seems like a mafia gang story?  

It is, kinda? But it’s really layered, with a good plot and great characters. I could ramble about it for a while, but I don’t think anyone is interested currently, so I won’t burden you with it 😂

holly black's and cassandra clare's

I did really like the folk of the air series, and I read the spiderwick chronicles in middle school, but I haven’t gone back to holly black in a long time. I did want to read the new one but haven’t had the chance.

--

Oof Alex. Now that I know where you’re coming from, I can completely agree. I’ve been re-reading and analyzing her intro in Nightfall and how weird it was; how it derailed everything in the worse way. Sometimes, when writers are stuck on where to go with a scene or plot, there’s a tactic that’s recommended: have someone walk in with a gun. It causes enough of a upheaval to keep the plot moving. I’m not sure if that was what Alex was supposed to do, but it really didn’t work for me for a lot of reasons.

Because emmy always had to heavylift whatever bullshit that alexwillaydin put out to her. And as someone who was so used to just move forward and not caring about her small losses because she had suffered worse, emmy just had to act like she was okay with all the little hurts and cruelty cause by people,

Yes! She had to work so hard just for a little, and what killed me the most is reading her scenes where she agrees with them.

She has the moments of clarity, where it seems she remembers why she did what she did, and she's not sorry, and that she wasn’t to blame for what happened to Will. Then next minute… she’s back to blaming herself for no reason? I’ve said many times before that Emory’s guilt is misplaced, and at certain times, it can’t be ignored that it was really PD pushing this “Emory deserves this” narrative, but I just can’t jive with it at all. There's a question on her good reads page where she says that she thinks Will is the most justified in his hatred.

And just... no. He's not. Literally none of them were justified in their hatred. They had the right to feel wronged. Sometimes we feel wronged, even if we carry some of the blame for what happened. But to say they were justified is just over the line. I really wish PD had more balance when it come to assigning blame. I think this series would have benefitted if one of the themes of the story was that everyone makes decisions, and right or wrong, we have to living with them. These are the consequences.

Like their stories are not dark romance so tat cleansed me from devils night series a bit, and they are so fun to read!

Yeah, it’s always nice to find something new that works! Thanks for the recs. I hope if anyone is looking, they’ll look them up. Sorry I didn’t have more strong female friendships, but they can be tough to find in todays romance climate.

I totally get you not coming back. It was absolutely a blast talking to you and thanks for the clarification! It always helps.

Have a great one, KO

Poll 2, Semi-finals.

Stellar is @emthimofnight 's

Emmie is @head---ache 's

[paulgadzikowski]

As I mentioned on another recent poll my webcomic had one once; so I've taken the liberty of the first option. I would've thought my sister did, since she's published several books on early child education and is more likely the last decade or so to come up first in search results on our name than I am, but no.

A couple of people I know or once knew have IMDb pages, as well as a team at Sony my brother was on who won an Emmy.

EDIT I forgot! Someone I used to know is an sf author and has a Wikipedia page.

E Pluribus Motto Podcast: Un-Serious & Unapproved Talking State Mottos

Listening to E Pluribus Motto is like taking a road trip with friends Janet Varney and John Hodgman. In each episode, they spotlight one state and chat about its motto, bird, beverages, songs, and–occasionally–muffins. Plus, you’ll hear from residents and guests whose lives or work have been inspired by that state. The show's producers, Maximum Fun, insist: "This podcast is a celebration of regional culture and an homage to the love we all seem to have for the place we call home. Pack your snacks and jump on in!"

Maximum Fun is a self-described pioneering podcast network, a home to dozens of shows, some of which they produce and some of which are produced independently. Their shows are about Comedy and Culture, and all of them try to put some good into the world. The fun people insist: "Our shows and our audience are the engines of the good that we do in the world. We do what we do because we think it matters to people. And we recognize our privilege, and the trust that people place in us. We try to use that position to direct attention and resources to deserving causes."

On June 30, 2023, Maximum Fun became a 100% worker-owned cooperative. 

E Pluribus Motto is hosted by John Hodgman and Janet Varney. When you're producing a podcast for Maximum Fun, comedy and wit are essential ingredients. As co-hosts, Hodgman and Varney deliver big time.

Let's face it. Making fun of all 50 states is like a gold mine for humor, sarcasm, the ridiculous, and the absurd. Florida itself is a laugh riot. Don't get me started on Oklahoma. 

Anyway, Hodgman and Varney extract as much comedic value along with information about each state that may have value at your next trivia night at the Stinky Moose Pub Thursday Trivia Night.

Janet Varney is an Emmy-Nominated actor, comedian, writer, and producer. She most recently starred as the horrible Becca on FXX’s You’re the Worst, and she created, wrote and stars in the IFC series Fortune Rookie.

Varney fought dark forces opposite John C. McGinley on three seasons of IFC’s Stan Against Evil and starred in seasons one and three of “Burning Love.” In the animation world, she was lucky enough to be the award-winning voice of Korra on Nickelodeon’s critically-acclaimed standout hit “The Legend of Korra.”

She is co-founder and co-director of SF Sketchfest, The San Francisco Comedy Festival, now in its 19th year.

John Hodgman is a writer, comedian, and actor. Most recently, he is the author of the acclaimed collections of funny true stories called VACATIONLAND and MEDALLION  STATUS. He also wrote three books of fake facts and invented trivia, all of them New York Times Bestsellers, and his writing has also appeared in The Paris Review, This American Life, The New Yorker, and Mad Magazine.

After an appearance to promote his books on The Daily Show, he was invited to return as a contributor, serving as the show’s Resident Expert and Deranged Millionaire.

This led to an unexpected and, frankly, implausible career before the camera, becoming the “Personal Computer” in a series of commercials for Apple computer, and more recently playing recurring roles in FX’s MARRIED, HBO’s BORED TO DEATH, Cinemax’s THE KNICK.

Hodgman is the host of the popular JUDGE JOHN HODGMAN podcast, where he settles serious disputes between real people, such as “Is a hot dog a sandwich?” and “Should we tell our children the TRUTH about Santa Claus.” He also contributes a weekly column under the same name for The New York Times Magazine.

The show began in October and just released its tenth episode in February on Tennessee, which ended season one. The first episode began with Connecticut, where listeners learned that somehow it is the pizza capital of the nation. All the episodes pose questions of little or no importance, but must be answered. Why does South Carolina have two mottoes, two official state drinks, two official state marine mammals and more? And that’s before they discussed how busy the state seal is.

In the Massachusetts episode, Hodgman chats with Kate Lorch. As an elementary school student, she struck a major political victory: getting Massachusetts an official state muffin. 

As co-hosts, Hodgman and Varney jell like gin and tonic. They're funny, sardonic, and still able to toss out facts of moderately utilitarian worth. The episodes are long, and could be tighter and shorter, but alas, comedic brains don't work on well with a stopwatch.

Check out E Pluribus Motto. It's fun, moderately informational, and Hodgman and Varney make an excellent co-host / comedy team.

Hi! Have you watched hotel swan helsinki? It doesn't have good reviews at all, but Lauri looks so hot in it. I wondered if you had seen it. Still, it's not available online outside Finland.

Hi! :) Yes, I have watched it (more often than I would like to admit). I understand why it might not be everyone's piece of cake, but I love it. All the actors do a great job in it, but Lauri is my absolute favorite. It's been agonizing to wait for the third season, since the last one ended in quite a huge cliffhanger. Hopefully it will be watchable elsewhere someday as well.

The other show that has Lauri in it that I would recommend is Syke (The Heartbeat/Pulse), but it too is unfortunately only available in Finland for now. :( He looks absolutely adorable in glasses during the first two seasons and his character is great as well. He is also a side character in Nymfit (Nymphs), that sadly got only one season. It is watchable in SF Anytime and Telia Play, but I don't own accounts to them or know if they are usable outside of Finland.

My favorite movies that he's in are "Veden Vartija" (The Guardian Of The Water) that is based on the book "Teemestarin Kirja" (The Book Of The Teamaster) by Emmi Itäranta and Kätilö (The Midwife) that is based on the book of Katja Kettu. The first one hasn't gotten good reviews, but it has a special place in my heart. From what I remember, it has at least some point been available in Apple TV, Prime Video, and Blockbuster. Kätilö can be seen from Apple TV, Netflix, Blockbuster, Viaplay, HBO MAX and Prime Video.

Sorry that your ask turned into such a commercial! :D I just love that he's gotten to do so different kinds of roles and think that more people should know about them. Still looking forward the continuation of Karppi/Deadwind, though. :)

1-19-2025, Sunset in the Sunset District SF, CA. My grandson, Miles, arrived & just ate a fish taco. Emmy's Chinese restaurant shut down permanently 😒. Dos Charros Taquerua to the rescue. Because of his arrival I've been radio silent. TTYL. Stay safe and be well ❤
