#THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION

[lu-sn]

in kpts, almost everyone in the mafia is trapped there. a good half of them clearly want out.

porsche vehemently doesn't even want in. he resists to the best of his ability, and even once he's in, he still dreams of that bar on the beach. chay would drop the mafia in a heartbeat, if he felt that it was possible. kim's already got one foot out the door. kinn wishes he could have even half of what kim has, but he's been thoroughly convinced he's never allowed to have it.

so despite all these characters who would love to be let loose, who would kill for a chance at true freedom — would run off into the sunset and never look back — it's interesting that the narrative gives the slightest promise of freedom to the two characters who didn't know it was possible, who never even thought to dream of it. vegas and pete do not understand the value of what they've been handed.

will they ever understand? will they ever see that freedom as a gift instead of a curse?

Spoiler alert (in case you haven't watched Gentleman Jack season 2)

I had just planned to rewatch S1 because S2, when I watched it, I remember it left me a not good sensation. But after the season 1...I miss them! And it's hard not to keep watching it having another season. I have been rewatching some concrete scenes and maybe this time I see the things in another way. Because, sometimes, when you stop reading a book or watching a series or film, after a few years and new and different experiences in our life  we can understand things that we couldn't or  we understand it in another different and new way. So, I don't know what to do!!

In those scenes that I have watched I have appreciated things that the first time I didn't. But others... I feel angry how Anne's friends treat Ann!! And every time that happens I want a Anne  defending Ann with confidence. I think there's a scene where she does it (I think with M.) Although, I want that in every scene where people is not kind with her. How dare them! Oh my God, she is the kindest, sweetest person! I can't understand why they are so....so... And yes maybe because of this I have this feeling with season 2, because Ann deserves the best and I'm sad and angry with many things. But also there's another scenes that I have liked more than the first time. A Ann more confident and, in some way, is also great to see how their relationship have changed, now settled in Shibden. And, of course, those familiar scenes at the table with Ann. Those are the best.

So...to summarize: I don't know what to do. Do I rewatch it or not??

I guess, if I finally rewatch it and left me again that sensation that I can't to describe, I can always watch season 1 again, right?

whys and hows aside, ultimately what “summer joined salem” comes down to is:

salem has one more person working for her whose existence has been confirmed (seer call in v4 from beacon after establishing that all known agents are not there) but identity never revealed.

none of her other agents have had their identities obscured: even lionheart is revealed to be her spy upfront. the mystery surrounding the identity of this character is unique—ergo, narratively consequential.

“what happened to summer rose?” is a central narrative mystery which has thus far been partially answered in this order: a) she met salem, b) salem perhaps did something other than killing her, c) raven was involved and whatever happened turned her past admiration for summer into the scorn on display at haven.

the timeline on summer being made into a hound does not add up (the hound is “an experiment” and a novelty to both salem’s enemies and her inner circle now—salem met summer approx. fourteen years ago) but it’s deeply unlikely that the narrative would have flagged the possibility of fate-other-than-death if she were actually dead.

the conclusion that salem turned summer into a hound is offered by ruby, on minimal evidence; in v4, ruby hears tyrian waxing poetic about his “goddess” and with no hesitation goes “cinder,” which is to say ruby has a demonstrable tendency of jumping to conclusions based on incomplete information that are close but nevertheless very wrong.

so the narrative has given us these pieces:

summer met salem.

salem probably did not kill her.

summer can’t have been grimmed.

summer broke raven’s trust, badly.

salem has had an anonymous agent holding beacon, we have known this since v4, and we have yet to find out who this person is.

what happened to summer rose?

the anonymity of the person on the other end of that seer call is the keystone holding everything together. the facts pertaining to summer rose alone don’t necessarily add up to “turncoat,” only “not dead and not a hound,” but when taken into account with the open question of who salem has at beacon, then the simplest, most straightforward answer is that summer joined her.

the point of keeping the beacon lieutenant’s identity a secret is to maintain suspense. it is a character the audience already knows—or knows of. (the reason salem’s reveal at the end of v3 works is because she’s been the narrator since the beginning, for example.) with the way the cast is set up, this more or less requires that the beacon lieutenant be a turncoat; the other possibilities are tai, glynda, oobleck, and port. if it’s any of them, the separate mystery of what happened to summer rose remains and must still be answered in order to resolve that increasingly central narrative question, and the how and why tai or glynda or oobleck or port joined salem needs to be answered too. if summer is the beacon lieutenant, the narrative answers two questions with one answer.

hi sev!! i’m gonna be completely honest. i stumbled upon your clorivia x reader fic of starting a family and it plagues my mind. i didn’t know i wanted to be bred by them but there’s a first for everything and them doing that to me…. will not be the last 🤭😮‍💨

this blog truly is in its breeding kink era and honestly ?? i’m here for it 😌😌😌

but yeah clori AND navia having baby fever? rip to your pussy anon but you’re getting oreo doublestuffed every night, sometimes they take turns, sometimes it’s both of them at once. it hardly matters to you since all you have to do is sit there and take it—they will ensure you feel good.

okay now what i’m about to say is going to sound insane but IN THEORY, at least conceptually, it should work? so fraternal twins occur when two separate egg cells are fertilised by two separate sperm cells, resulting in twins that don’t look like each other. IN THEORY then, if on the night you concieve, clori AND navia both cum inside you at the same time then you could end up with one kid looking like clori and the other looking like navia. IN THEORY. or we can just say magic twins and call it a day LOL

ANYWAY once you are eventually carrying they become so sweet and soft with you, even more than before. navia has the entire spina at your beck and call, and clori, now with more free time as the retired bodyguard of the archon, stays at home when she can to care for you. all in all you become the centre of their world more than you already are <333

I saw the High School Stereotypes Legacy by Kenziesimsblog a while back and thought it looked like something I could start without too much laptop drama, a good in-betweener while I take a break from my other saves and general building.

So, off I went and created Gen 1 but it didn't take long for my initial enthusiasm to fizzle. The more I spent on him, the more I felt I couldn't see myself completing the challenge. However, rather than scrapping emo dude altogether, I decided to use the list as prompts for creating sims instead.

There are only 4 sims (out of a possible 10) because after creating them I quickly got bored of the stereotypes and decided to stop before love turns to hate. Hey, it was nice while it lasted.

Now I have 4 more sims added to my bottomless bin of sims. I may share them if anyone is interested, and I might take this opportunity to also try dig out the rest of those mini lots...

Update: these sims are now available to download from here.
