#a bit of stuffing I guess ?

Hahaha, don't mind me I'm perfectly OK, definitely did not delete 3 hours of text editing to the markiverse comic I am struggling with for more than a month now hahaahahah (┛ಠДಠ)┛彡┻━┻

And I could be going to bed early, but I would be feeling like shit since I would have felt like I was totally fcking useless this evening, and so instead I did another sketch my dear markiverse enthusiast suggested. And an old sketch I didn't finish, and now I just bearly/badly censored it, lol...

Aw shit - I just realized I misspelled Sensei...sorry guys.. don't kill me

Please post more about giyu just dating everyone

i should...... gonna start right now cuz ive actually thought about mitsugiyu for the GiyuusFuckingSad au- when hes still moping around in the cafeteria corner she pops over because she saw shinobu, shinobu stops her excited rambling and explains that its Quiet Time and shes like 'oh! okay! i can be quiet!' and she just hangs around to doodle in her sketchbook across from them. giyuu once again baffled by another random girl deciding she wants to hang out near(with?) him when hes literally never said a word in response.

she sees him in the halls and tries to talk with him, he responds minimally but shes encouraged by any response at all and talks to him outside the cafeteria any chance she gets- giyuu's incredibly confused as to why she likes talking to him so much, but one time when he realizes he missed the turn to his class about three halls ago finally notices how much he enjoys listening to her stories (he ended up just walking her to class to hear the end of the story, he was a few minutes late when he got back to his own)

when shinobu starts inviting him to little outings with her friends mitsuri's the first to welcome him, kyojuro and suma quickly follow and hes. very overwhelmed. why did he get introduced to the loudest ones of the friend group first?? contrary to what he thought would happen though, they actually love him and despite how hype the three of them get (and how not hype he usually is) he doesn't ever feel left out or pushed to the side (physically speaking too- suma frequently hangs off him since hes the most stable one around now and mitsuri & kyojuro aren't hesitant to pull him in to make him focus on whatever they're talking about. he likes how free they are with affection towards him like that)

months later he's acquainted with and knows the whole group and they're all out at a restaurant chatting and having fun- giyuu notices how entranced everyone else is at kyojuro's retelling of a story and he can't help but think how much sabito would like them all... mitsuri stops paying attention to kyo and turns to him, "Giyuu? Are you okay?" "Yeah, why?" "You're crying"

the grief finally hits, the tears get heavier despite his attempts at drying them before he starts to panic and excuses himself- he practically runs out and mitsuri worriedly glances back at everyone before excusing herself and running after him. she follows him to the side of the restaurant in the little alley where hes having his breakdown and hugs him- he buries his face in her shoulder and holds back shaking like a leaf for a while before the worst of it passes. she asks what happened, "I-i just- he'd like you all.. he would've loved to meet you.." she knows who hes talking about- well.. she knows he was extremely important to giyuu, and that something happened and he's not around anymore, and that its extremely painful for giyuu to talk about so he just doesn't. she says shes honored by his thought and goes on to try to calm him down/cheer him up, his face looks a mess from the splotchy flush and eye liner- it got smudged to hell and back and hes a little embarrassed by it. only for a moment tho because mitsuri immediately offers to fix it for him. when they're finally ready to go back in they notice obanai standing at the entrance of the alleyway, blocking the view from outsiders. "aw! you're so thoughtful obanai!" "You two good to head back inside now?" "how long were you standing there?" "long enough, you worried everyone running off like that" "sorry.." "don't apologize, idiot. c'mon, lets go eat" and they followed an excited mitsuri back to the rest of the group.

after that mitsuri started inviting him to her apartment to practice makeup art on him since she knew he was okay with it. he was good at sitting still and he liked how gently she touched and moved his face however while she worked, quiet and serene with her music playing from the room over- the first thing she tried out was a simple little water-esque mark on his left cheek. when he was finally allowed to look at it he remembered the time when they were kids and sabito backhanded him there for saying he wished he had died with his sister. remembered how badly he wished he could have gone with sabito too. remembered his final words, 'promise me you'll love again'

he looks back up at mitsuri with a little smile, maybe that promise isn't as impossible for me to keep as i thought. "i like it" "oooh! i just had another idea! what if i made it look like a stream of water coming out the corners of your mouth!?"

I know before you said you wanna get a bunch of stufful (The Pokémon) merch, but I was curious if you actually have any yet! Do you? I don’t think I’ve ever seen any merch of them before so I am curious!

I do have a few pieces of merch! I have 2 stufful plushies (one is by Tomi I believe, and the other one is from the Pokemon Center website, it's "christmas" themed), 2 trading cards (duplicates sadly), a stufful figure (still in box), and a hand drawn fully colored picture that an old coworker put on my locker one day (the art is now framed and is my favorite piece in my small collection!)

There's a normal stufful plushie from the Pokemon Center that I've been dying to get my hands on, because it is literally everything I ever wanted in a stufful plush. But it's been sold out for years, and to get it second hand would cost at least double the price. There's also one or two other trading cards featuring stufful, some hair clips, a pin, and a sticker or two maybe, but it's honestly not a lot! And there's barely any hand made/custom stufful stuff out there. Tho I did see a stufful onesie/hoodie (can't remember which) for a pretty penny, but it's hand made. So stufful merch does exist, it's just very scarce especially compared to what some other pokemon get. But I'm grateful for that much! Some pokemon don't get anything. At least stufful gets a bit of love

Speaking of love, let's give some to Buttons!

HEADCANON. Thinking about Sam getting ( or heck, even making ) people stuffed animals, especially of animals that remind her of them. But before she gives it away, she holds each one in her hands and speaks of all the hopes and dreams she has for the person—-things that she can't ever bring herself to say to their face. Especially so if the person she's gifting it to doesn't quite have a 'happy end'.

She knows it's pointless. She knows filling a plushie with wishes won't actually do anything to stop fate, much less make all those wishes come true.

But knowing how powerless she is to do anything, how little she can actually do?

Let her pretend her actions mean something, won't you?

Made a really long rambly post about omegaverse Vesper and what it means to me but it got really dramatic and kinda venty so I'm gonna try again but shorter.

I think the most impactful thing is that because omegaverse runs on primal instincts, a lot of things are taken more seriously than they are in real life. Submission, vulnerability, weakness, coddling and comfort, those are an omega's needs. They're not wants or desires or preferences. They're needs, and they're treated with the seriousness of needs.

When omega Vesper feels overwhelmed and anxious he needs someone else, a pack mate, to recognize it and help him calm down. He doesn't always want that, what he wants is to hide and not let anyone see him. But what he needs is help, and so he's given help. When he's feeling worthless because he made a mistake or feels like he hasn't been productive enough he needs someone to just pull him into their lap and tell him how good he is, how much he's wanted. He doesn't request that, but they can tell that he needs it, so he gets it. When he's feeling overwhelmingly lonely and replaceable what he needs is for an alpha to re-affirm their claim by refreshing the mark on his neck. It's not a desire, he sometimes finds it embarrassing, but he needs it. He needs to be vulnerable. He needs to have time during his busy and stressful life to be submissive, so he can just relax without having to make decisions or have responsibilities. He wants to be needed, but he NEEDS to be wanted.

And by making these things needs rather than wants it validates them significantly. It removes the fear, from an outsider's perspective, that the pack is going to find Vesper too tiring or his emotions too much to deal with. Vesper is anxious, but we know that his pack is just making sure his needs are met, no different from making sure their partner is eating and sleeping every day. These vulnerabilities are not extra, they're not more emotional labor than anyone signed up for. Everybody knows that these are things that omegas need, so there's no question that the pack will meet those needs happily and genuinely.

Hi folks -- we're back with the Chill Valicer Save this week, working our way through the trio's Spring Wednesday! And this one proved to be a bit busier than anticipated, so let's get straight in --

-->First things first – picked up with the gang just bumming around their house at about two in the morning, as they do. As Alice needed Fitness skill to help fulfill her Renaissance Sim aspiration (and thus her New Year's Eve resolution), I sent her off on a feral run, while Victor got to go back to bed for a little more sleep, and Smiler –

Got put on weeding duty. Because, despite cheating the glitched plants from the previous episode to be weedless, the minute I checked the greenhouse, I saw that the weeds had resprouted! I hoped that maybe now they were non-glitched weeds and would go away when vacuumed up, but nope, Smiler once again got stuck in a loop when they tried to weed them. *grumble* And when I tried resetting the weed growth state again later on, the weeds disappeared...and then just grew right back again! What the hell – what’s even the POINT of letting me get rid of the weeds if it won’t ACTUALLY let me get rid of them?? *shakehead*

-->Anyway – once I saw that Smiler was stuck in the loop, I canceled the action and instead had them go lecture Surprise about playing in a trash pile that was next to the garden sink (from when Alice repaired it last time). The cat didn’t exactly know what she was being lectured for, but at least she stopped making a bigger mess! Smiler scavenged the pile for parts, put it in their inventory, then went back to their robotics bench to make more mechanisms and computer chips for that Servo project I’d like them to start at some point (you know, to help around the house and the store). As they were doing that, Alice returned from her feral run, and I had her pick up the mail –

Which contained a giant plush bunny! Their reward for finding all those decorative eggs, I presume! :) I decided it could go next to the knitting basket and rocking chair in the séance room – only to discover the darn thing was not live draggable, unfortunately. So Alice had to go there manually and put it in the world herself. *shrug* I figured while she was up there, she could get some meditation in (helps keep the Fury at a manageable level, after all), and had her plonk her butt down on the stool for a little while (at least, until she started levitating). Not only did she end up getting Wellness level 6 during her little Zen session, she ALSO got a pop-up stating she’d thought of a hilarious joke while meditating and got Comedy level 5 out of it too! Two skills for the price of one, I love it! :D

-->While Alice was getting her chill on, Victor got up, used and Scruberooed the toilet, then popped down to the greenhouse to do some tending (and get stuck in a few weeding loops of his own on those glitched plants *sigh*) before grabbing some honey out of the bee box, picking all the grown over-sized crops (the big mushroom wasn’t QUITE ready), and super-selling everything else because, well, they don’t really need any more fruit, veggies, or flowers JUST at the moment. XD Smiler, meanwhile, got put on livestock duty – feeding the chickens, cleaning the coop, telling them some jokes, and telling Surprise that she was not to play in the chicken feed either, before moving on to clean and chat with Moory. Moory didn’t think much of their attempts to talk about the weather, but did like their joke, so Smiler was able to successfully milk her, yay. We appreciate when the cow cooperates with us!

-->We also appreciate when the Sims decide to be cute on their own – case in point, Victor, having finished in the greenhouse, promptly went over to Smiler after they’d finished milking Moory and made out with them right by the cow shed. XD I then had Victor offer his wrist to a thirsty Smiler (his plasma is their favorite, after all), while I had Alice return to normal after her meditation session and go get the eggs. Once Victor was done being drained, he went over and had a little slow dance with Alice in front of the chicken coop – seems like farm chores encourage him to be romantic. XD Shadow came over and started whining at them for a walk midway through, though, so I had Smiler go over and play with her a bit to keep her occupied. Cute family times are cute! :) Anyway, with the chores done and everyone having gotten their adorableness quotient for the day fulfilled, I tried to have Victor set up the trip to the store –

Only for him and Alice to get obsessed with playing with the clay blob, with Victor insisting on walking all the way to the living room even when I canceled the action in favor of them going traveling. *shakes head* Sims sometimes, I swear..

I think I'm gonna do a sprite and banana bloat after work today. It's been a while and I'm trying to get my capacity back up and I find it easier to stretch my stomach by bloating over anything else.
