here's my progress of crawdad quarter so far:

to the left is the local cafe with a makeshift little bookstore attached. to the right is the neighborhood bar where your sims can sing karaoke or compete in some intense juice pong & horseshoe tournaments haha

my vision for willow creek is to be a small but up & coming town. I want fun little hangout spots everywhere that have a real homey feel to them. hopefully that's the vibe that comes across in this save file :)

it took me soooo long to execute all the ideas i had. i would open my game, go to these lots & just stare at the screen. for WEEKS. l was driving myself crazy lol. & then hallelujah, inspiration had struck! i took advantage & started working on two builds at once & honestly about to start a third! haha wish me luck :)

So, about Blue Willow Leaves...

I was rereading S-class webtoon/manhwa again, since I finished the translated novel and is currently waiting for updates again. Of course, as expected, I cried when 25 yo Yoohyun died.

After knowing things that you do in the novel, his perspective and what he went through as he was reshaped and molded by Yoojin, I grew a lot of sympathies with him, even knowing that he is not entirely human - maybe because he is NOT entirely human. He has been enduring and holding himself back since after his birth because he loves being loved by his hyung.

"No living creatures shuns being loved."

And so, Yoohyun molded himself as per Yoojin's love. A fire molding himself into a polite, sweet child, because that's what his brother wants him to become - to grow up to be. Even though he knows he can find relief and ecstasy by fulfilling his fiery nature, Yoohyun holds himself back, because he values the love his brother gives more than that brief sense of relief.

Understandably, people in the comment are upset with Yoohyun's choices, as I was, but Yoohyun was a child, barely an adult, when he decided to go no contact with his hyung, who is his entire world that he tries to protect.

For Yoohyun, he is okay if his hyung hates him, rather than seeing him dead. I've seen much of this tropes with parent characters as well; many of them will risk their children hating them, even going as far as cutting their connection, as long as they're safe. This is what Yoohyun did because he deemed the threat of the dungeon and the Transcendants are too great for his F-class brother.

Now knowing that Yoohyun is actually a creature more akin to fire than human, it got me thinking; all of his attributes and his skills are connected to fire somehow, except this one skill:

Blue Willow Leaves

This skill allows him to acquire flight-like skill by stepping on them on air. This is a skill that he acquired not long after his awakening, I think. The longest, I think before the three years he's gone no contact with Yoojin, because he did use this power after regression against the Golden-Beaked Maiya - just not proficient enough to know how it's used. Noting that, I think Yoohyun got the skill maybe recently because he had no idea how to use it and only used it to blind his enemies. Or maybe he got that for a while but never actually uses it in combat so he never actually explore over what to use them for.

Either way... If Yoohyun is a creature of fire, then why does he have the Blue Willow Leaves skill?

It is said that skills a person awakened to is actually just an essence of who that person is, just enhancing it and making it their identity and power. Now, we know that Yoohyun is literally the personification of Fire. But then, why Blue Willow Leaves? Why not Blue Fire like the one Azula wields? Or Blue Spark? Or Blue Jet Fire that he can use to fly around like a jetpack? Or something of that note - as long as it's fire.

Why leaves of all things? The thing that the fire eats for breakfast?

In fact, Willows are the opposite of fire attribute. Willows are of the Salix genus. The name Salix, that is used for different kinds of Willow species, may originates from Celtic language where Sal means "near" and lis means "water". It's also referring to the tree's natural habitat. (https://simplybeyondherbs.com/willow-tree-symbolism/)

So because of that contradiction, I asked Google about the meaning of symbolism for Willow Leaves, and my jaw dropped:

It's a symbol of mourning and sorrow.

Yoohyun has been grieving. We do not know what he is grieving about but I'm pretty sure it's about his hyung. Because during that time apart, he was no longer part of his hyung's family. He thought that his hyung hates him and will no longer loved him.

But he still thinks, "it's fine, as long as my brother is alive and safe."

Yoohyun has been grieving. His grief is so profound that it is now embedded into his being, shaped by the guilt and sorrow towards his hyung and is now represented by a skill, which is the Blue Willow Leaves.

It's also important to note that we first see Yoohyun wields this skill the first time (in manhwa/webtoon) as he was saving his brother from Lauchitas dungeon. Of course by then he was already proficient but I have no doubt that meaning is clearly implied by the webtoon authors Seri and Biwan.

Do you know what else I found about Willow symbolisms?

It is often engraved on tombstones.

Is it possible that Willow Leaves actually foreshadowing his death all this time?

But that's just my theory. A MANHWA THEORY!

Just for the record, I do not condone what Yoohyun did to Yoojin as something right. He just did what he thought he was best. It was not, of course, but he tried his best. True, everything could've been solved if the two of them just TALK. But he did his best, as best as he could, as a non-human person who misses social cues of human society and messed up sometimes. So I cannot in my conscience ignore Yoohyun's effort before the dungeon break and sufferings in pre-regression timeline.

Of course I cannot say nor compare his sufferings to Yoojin. I just want all of the readers to remember that Yoohyun also suffered. Maybe not the same way, or the same intensity, but he'd been holding himself back for 25 years for the sake of his brother without gotten any kind of relief or reprieve.

Besides, everyone suffers in this novel. Even Sung Hyunjae suffers on his own for some degree. It's not our place to compare whose suffering is greater.

I already know that there is no way Yoojin can go back to bury his dead 25-year-old brother, but maybe we can have a moment of silence for the 25-year-old Han Yoohyun who willingly sacrificed himself so that his world - his only world that comprised only one person - Han Yoojin, stays safe.

As an ending note, please enjoy this picture of these two doomed brothers.

Hunter: "You're acting so distant! It even feels like there's something separating us......"

Willow: "Probably it's the cell bars"

Listened to Rule #4 - Fish in a Birdcage and thought about MC and Willow and it punched me in the face.

and there was me wondering how victor got her pregnant

[willowswriting]

for @pcrfectcrime continued from here

Ernesto touched his hand to his chest as if to show that the women's words had truly affected him "Well thank you, I put a lot of effort into seeming like I'm not a mass murderer." He smiled. Ernesto had been lucky that Santana had walked into the record shop today after his original plan had fallen through, even luckier that the two had bonded over their mutual love for music. He wanted to ask more about her own experiences living like this but didn't want to push just yet, like she had said they were still complete strangers and him sleeping on her couch didn't change that fact.

If Amity's role in the hexsquad eco system is keeping Hunter humble then I think that Gus' role is keeping Amity humble. All three of them get along and like each other a lot but they will not hesitate to rib one another if they think someone's forgetting their roots.
