I love that comparing people to animal is something I would never do to anyone ever but in the kpop scene you just know people are right when they say someone looks like an animal like.

I dont see any difference but the color palette in these pictures

JISOO, FLOWER (2023) – “It’s all on you that you didn’t hold on, even the times that we were in full bloom. You and me, although we were madly in love. Cruelly trampled, my one and only lilac. There was nothing left but the scent of a flower.”

Effigy note

Greed is a kind of entitlement that will lead to taking resources destined for the project, undermining it and endangering others.

Eden’s Gate houses should be spartan. Stockpiled items are communal rather than private, and only very few ‘keepsake’ type items might be found, hidden. Food is for survival, not a luxury.

drabble — reim's birthday.

there's not a lot to be said to reim lunettes that break hasn't already told him.

   and if it hasn't been told, it was known either way— the man has a way of reading break that not a lot of people do. as infuriating as it was at times, it was also reassuring to know that somebody would always be in his corner. always. even for a murderer, even for a dying man who spits bitter words as easily as laughter, even for somebody who rarely ever called him a friend.

   but he was. but he is. break is alive, still, against his best attempts. and so is reim. so is sharon. and reim is his friend, and he's not here, even if break recalls his words every now and then.

   recalls, clearly, the last of reim's birthdays he experienced.

' i wish i could see you with wrinkles. ' said so lightly, self-explanatory. leaning his shoulder into reim's when he had to be dragged away from work, sitting on a bench in pandora's gardens. he had lost his sight already, then. at least enough to not decipher the details in reim's face anymore. ' you're growing so old, mister reim. '

you'll continue growing old, said without any words. without me.

reim hadn't glared, hadn't moved away from the lightest touch from the smaller man leaning into him, though his voice betrayed the downturn of his lips, mournful. ' shut up, xerxes. '

' i'm serious! i'm sure crow's feet will look wonderful with your glasses, ' he noted, gleefully, eye flitting shut.

reim hesitated, as if he was actually thinking about it. but when he spoke again, it was not the consideration break was expecting. rather, reim's frown seemed to brighten a bit. ' you would know. '

break let out a gasp, all fake insult, and put a hand against reim's shoulder to shove him gently. ' mister reim! ' he delighted, then, in the sound of a chuckle from the man, the way he let break push him away in jest. warm and familiar tussling.

   ' how rude! i don't have any crow's feet, i'll have you know. '

' oh? and here i thought you were an old man. '

' somewhat, ' break mumbled, contemplative. ' i won't get very much older, that's for sure. '

' oh, xerx— ' a sigh. he saw that reim moved into himself, thought it's him crossing his arms. he doesn't sound too disturbed, just a little troubled, as he usually does talking to break. ' even on my birthday, you have to speak of it so lightly? '

break started waving his legs back and forth. looked at the silhouettes of them as they moved.

' sorry, ' is all he said, genuine. a bit abashed. ' what would you like me to speak of? '

   ' how good i will look with crow's feet, ' reim jokes, letting break off with the apology he gave. ' and how you will do your own work today, since i put so much effort into making sure you'll be able to. '

   break paused, and grinned.

   ' way ahead of you. '

   reim paused, though only for a moment, eager to hear the rest of that indication. ' i'm sorry? '

' i did all my work! ' and with that, break jumped to his feet, walking a little twirl until he's standing in front of reim. ' and i played around with your schedule a bit— i know, i know, you don't like it when i do that, but it's for the greater good! such as lady sheryl not punishing you for working on your birthday. '

reim was flabberghasted enough with that, he didn't even reply, mouth open as he was ready for an interruption.

break pulled at his arm until he, too, rose to his feet.

' come on, time for a tea party! and a trip to town, if you're lucky. '

   he was lucky, it turned out. or unlucky, depending on the definition of a workaholic. break had made sure, throughout the years, to give reim a well-deserved break on his birthdays ... and this year, he isn't there to do that. of course, he'd planned for that possibility. had hidden a bottle of their favourite wine in the cupboard that was next to their sitting spot in his room at the rainsworth's.

   but, given that it's reim ... he might have already found that. and, given that it's reim, he might have cried about it.

   break rubs at his eye.

   his voice crumbles slightly as he asks his brick for the time. just the afternoon ... maybe he should call zhilan.

   maybe they should go buy some wine.

   for the occasion.

[honorhearted]

In spite of himself, Ben felt his stiff posture softening. Glancing down into his untouched glass of whiskey, he pursed his mouth and hummed. "I...reluctantly confess that I would do much the same," he murmured. "At the beginning of this war, my hometown was taken hostage by redcoats, and my father was to be hanged. But rather than choosing to use my men for the greater good, I drew them off-course on a selfish rescue mission. Three men died that day -- not for the Cause we believe in, but for me...for my selfishness."

"Oi, I didn't exactly stop ya," Caleb pointed out. "I wanted to go home too, y'know."

Ben spared him a threadbare smile. "My father is alive," he concluded, "but at the cost of spilt blood. Arguably, the majority would say that my mission wasn't worth it...but Swan, he is all I have. So I chose myself." Ben exhaled, still idly swirling his whiskey. "In short, I am conceding that I don't blame you for wanting to leave and take vengeance -- in fact, I would encourage it, if that is what your heart truly desires -- but alas, I have also grown during my service, and I can no longer allow free-spirited lapses. We have to stick to this plan. It's what's safest and wisest for the army. I can't allow more men to die for unrestrained passions."

The same level?

Incredulous, Ben eyed Emma in disbelief. "But we aren't equals," he reminded her. "If everyone thought as you did, then the entire camp would be in disarray. We need order, and we need a sense of leadership. Otherwise, we're all doomed to do whatever we feel is necessary, and without the wisdom of teamwork." Sharing a glance with Caleb, he sighed before continuing, "I do not wish to tell you what to do -- I only ask that you listen. Not just for your sake, but for the men, women and children in this camp who've already lost and sacrificed far, far too much."

"I promise you I’m not that much of an idiot, but sometimes one must act like it."

Finally, Ben's smile was more genuine. "I know you're not an idiot, Swan -- that honor goes entirely to Brewster."

"Oi!" Caleb exclaimed, though he was grinning. "Goin' right for me nutsack, are ya? That's not very kind of you." To Emma, he added, "We don't think you're a fool, lass, and we're not tryin' a' undermine you neither. It's just a matter o' settin' up some ground rules right at the start. Those'll loosen up with time, you'll see."

"He's right," Ben agreed, sparing his friend a grateful glance. "Brewster can attest that certain rules are rather lax around here. He very much shares in your free-spirited nature."

With an exhale, he lifted his glass of whiskey, peered down into the amber liquid with reluctance, and then finally took an appeasing swallow. The drink burned with a pleasant warmth down his esophagus, and already, there was a slight loosening in his limbs. "We'll collaborate with you, Swan," he promised. "If we want to survive, the best option for us is compromise."

"I’m not…” she wasn’t displeased with their arrangments, it wasn’t even theirs to begin with, in a way, because she had made the decision to stay. She started pouring him a glass as well. Could she get into it now? She knew she may accidentally provoke him - this time really not meaning it - and doing so in front of his best friend was less than nice.

But God, there was something about him that was just asking to be defied in every possible way. The way he spoke to her was going to lead her to do something stupid, or worse fight with him, and she didn’t want that. No, she had to change things immediately, for better or worse, this direction could not do.

“Alright. Let’s start over. I am not displeased by anything your general wants from me, or about you as a bodyguard, or this tent. But I am sorry that you have to look after me, in the sense that I feel guilty. And I’m displeased by my overstaying because I want to go kill every single one of those monsters who came here looking for me, and I cannot do that, I will not do that,” she pointed out to remind herself of her own resolve, gripping her glass of whiskey.

“Forgive me, Caleb, this is not a happy first talk we are having, but I must say this so that you,” she turned to Benjamin, her tone softening, “Can start making peace with the idea, and I won’t get reckless because you are pushing buttons you don’t you are pushing. I told Washington I’d be staying for now, because I don’t want to add to his pile of worries. I told him I’ll write to my parents, hopefully the letter can be sent by tomorrow morning, so that soon he’ll be released from any responsibility. See, this is a self-containment, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t want to be: nobody had to persuade me or explain, it was my choice and it will keep being my choice. But I am not going to be confined at camp the entire time nor pretend I’m a delicate flower, of course I’ll listen to what you have to say and I’ll try to be on my best behavior, but I will never take orders. Only advice. That is what you need to make peace with. My choices and my life are my responsibilities and will remain so, that is why I can’t act like a subordinate. So what I’ll tell to your general is that while I’m happy to have your help, you can’t be held responsible for what a silly princess does, you can only be thanked whenever you can hold her back. We are on the same level, no one is above the other. Which means sometimes I’ll leave camp, neither of us can be trapped. And when my parents answer to my letter I’m definitely going to hunt those people down.”

She didn’t want to add to George’s pile of worries nor to Benjamin’s pile of guilt, so hopefully he’d understand she wasn’t to be ordered around because she wasn’t to be considered under his protection. It wasn’t as if any other figure of power would actually state that they were on the same level, after all, but she meant it.

“Caleb, you can visit me whenever you please and it will be much more amusing than it is now, I’m sure. Major, the same goes for you, and you can check on me, but please, please, don’t talk to me like a prisoner nor an idiot, talk to me like I’m happily waiting, so that it can be easier for me to convince myself that I am.It’s killing me that I can’t go find them, they ripped innocent people’s hearts out, and that is exactly why you must allow me to handle this. I could leave, you forcing me to stay is what would actually cause a war, not my death, but I won’t go regardless, I don’t want anyone to get hurt except the people who deserve it. I promise you I’m not that much of an idiot, but sometimes one must act like it… Well,” she corrected immediately, “I also am an idiot, and you talking to me like I have no choice in any matter is awakening every fighting instinct I have, and I was in the middle of trying to put them to sleep, don’t forget I also just found out-” she lifted her injured hand this time, to show that she hadn’t exactly been taking the situation calmly. “If you wish to fight me, can we go back to how you were doing it yesterday, like I’m the most inappropriate woman you have ever met, and not a toddler? Reject my courtship again, that’s fine.” And maybe he’d stop giving her the impression that he was truly angry about being there but forced to choke it down by his orders, if he did that. Hell, maybe now he’d explode instead, but it was better than the little comments here and there that she didn’t know how to read yet. As long as he understood she was there by choice and would stay by choice. Of course she didn’t hear no often as a princess - and as a woman she’d still get to pick when to listen to it anyway.

K-MODS : UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

Now that we ( at last ) finished our global x11 update, time was coming to get a closer look, especially on the oldest files ...

There's a joke to be made with updating after EAxis mess. Maybe something like ... Si(m)siphus ... Really, once we start working on an update, it seems like *everything* needs an update and we'll never get to the bottom of it. Or ... worst ( or better ) we get an insight on something we couldn't figure out and now we just want to test a theory or two, just in case it'll crack the code ... aaand we'll be good to make an overhaul of something else. Anyway ! Here we are :)

BRINDLETON BAY We are half pleased with the results here but those files needed to be updated ... Indeed ! The Cats & Dogs town is back into the fold with updated texture. We even removed the red pavement for more consistency. We aren't quite happy with the final result of this town and we'll probably come back later for finishing touch here & there but it'll do for the moment.

Please enjoy the return of Brindleton Bay among the family of the k-mods files :D

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

SELVADORADA ( JUNGLE ADVENTURES ) It was long overdue indeed but working on Selvadorada is like working on San Myshuno, it is clearly not EAxis best hours ...

Anyway, we completely reworked both nature and urban files, finished the ruins, added the files we hadn't done ...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

STRANGERVILLE

We always have a soft spot for Strangerville, surely because it reminds us the Sims 2 Strangetown which was was so fun and irreverent !

You already have the k-505 nature we updated not long ago. Now, we remade the k-505 urban and put work into finishing touches, making sure we've covered everything that needed to be k-hippied :D

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

K-505 : BASEGAME NATURE FILES UPDATE Which should actually be : What-A-Surprise-We-At-Last-Found-Files Somehow, we tackled the San Myshuno Pit Of Darkness Problem. Yes, you read that right, with one single file, two little adjustment and a lot of hair pulling ( "What do you mean EA stretch that file like peanut butter on a toast ?" ) Okay, with less sardonic comment, the k-505 base game mod actually got a new update that's even better. You know those rocks with grass on them ? Yeah, we cleared that. It's now better looking. No more funky hairy rock. And of course, as you may know if you read the previous post, we finally found the files guilty of the black/question mark deep down in San Myshuno ! So, do not hesitate to update all your files ;)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

K-101 : MAJOR UPDATE Technical lingo : we updated the specular files because it was bugging us to no end. Old wooden floor, cool. Old wooden floors that shined so much it looked new ? Not under our watch, no sir ! In addition, it solves a glossy problem for Mac users with an intel based computer. Damned ! we are so good ... :D All floors have seen their specular double-checked and done ... and by the way, all Jungle Adventures floors were added, all of them. Of course, if you notice something we may forgot, just tell us :)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - K-303 : SKIES & MOONS UPDATE As the title says : those are moon & night sky replacements. It is re-organized ( we redid the folders to do not mix moons and skies ) All you have to do is to place these files into you mods folder and tada ! a brighter and bigger moon for your Sims :)

Voila, that's all for this week :) Hope it will be ok for you and your fun ! Next in queue, Britechester and Del Sol Valley …

All the k-mods : https://tech-hippie.com/k-mods/

k-303 Multifix stuff : https://tech-hippie.com/k-303/

if you think it good enough: ko-fi // paypal

[dadrockconfessions]

THIS IS A SERIOUS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE READING MY UPDATE, RIGHT NOW!

PEACE AND LOVE, PEACE AND LOVE!

AAAND that is the end of the queue, as some of you may have noticed the inbox is closed, and I, as the main mod will not be making any more confessions as I have to focus on school from now on, and this blog will officially be on indefinite hiatus.

If you deeply want to confess something you can submit your self made confessions, this entails in making the entire confession, including text, photo and the "watermark" of "DADROCKCONFESSIONS". Just as you usually see them presented on the blog, you are ofc allowed to do it in your own style. I'll also ofc ensure that it'll be anonymous as always!

Anyway, peace and love, peace and love, mod BIB!

@val-the-bun hits me with a padded sledge hammer in the feels with the wereharpy vaggie au thanks for that once again i inflict this ask on others as a coping mechanism >:C

val-the-bun asked:

Charlie can see the claw marks on Vaggie's side, golden blood, *angel* blood, dripping onto the floor... Her grip on the spear is shaking.

'Did you ever believe in me, Vaggie?'

Another shriek, weak and *crackling* is her only answer. Vaggie's talons fall, and she almost *leans* into the point of the spear. She can see the tears streaming down Vaggie's face.

The spear slips out of charlie's fingers. Her hands are shaking too much. She grabs Vaggie by the feathers, glaring up at her.

'Do you?'

Vaggie is *shaking*, taloned hands curling around Charlie with a *whimper*.

Charlie is clinging to Vaggie as the monster *buckles* around her. She lets out another whimper, nuzzling against her face. She cant keep her tail from curling around Vaggie, burying her face in those feathers she knows so well.

'Oh Vaggie...'

I am picturing a lot of comfort after this

Like just

Vaggie all bandaged up

And just curled up with Charlie in the lobby. And she's just gently brushing Vaggie's feathers.

'So uh, does anybody wanna explain why Vaggie Tales is doin' a heavenly werebird in hell?'

'I... I dont know. Maybe this is just... Maybe this is what happens if an exorcist stays down here?'

Eventually Vaggie starts changing back. Which, ya know, yay!

Aaaand also oh shit. Because uh. *She kind of shredded her outfit in her transformation*. And her spare one is back in what's left of the room she was holed up in.

'Oh, fuck. Uh. Blanket? Quick? PLEASE???'

Queue a very embarrassed and kind of ashamed Vaggie curled up in a *huge* blanket. But...Charlie's holding her. Vaggie may not think she deserves it, but she is.

'Please tell me I didnt try to eat anybody...'

'Oh, no my dear. Shreading on the other hand!'

Charlie gives Alastor a glare that surprisingly shuts him up. Meanwhile Vaggie has basically disappeared into the blanket, save the barest hint of white hair.

'Dont worry about it Vags, your aim was pretty shit.'

Queue a jab in the side from Husk.

'What! It's true! She missed!'

(Aaand that's all i got for this for now. Might do more in the future. Might write a fic. Who knows!)

This is so late I'm sorry but thank you for reading this 😭😭🩷

[16:37]

A/N: as usual, nothing but fluff // have always wanted to use this trope so // this was written in like 15 minutes so xisjsjjs // not proofread aha // soft!gyu // hes so flirty is2g

You're reading a book when Mingyu asks the question out of nowhere, and your fingers linger on the edge of the page as your eyes look up to meet his like you didn't catch what he's saying.

So Mingyu repeats.

"Can I kiss you?"

You blink. He does too. And when you close your book and tilt your head, he asks the question again.

You laugh softly through your nose, forehead creasing in amusement at how easy Mingyu says these things.

"We're in a public park."

He raises an eyebrow, like it's a stupid statement that he refuses to acknowledge. "So? I want to kiss you."

The corner of your mouth lifts before you can stop it, your heart beating to an erratic rhythm despite the teasing smirk on your face; he's so cheesy.

"Where did it even come from?" You ask instead, your book long forgotten on your lap. Mingyu turns to fully face you on the park bench, maneuvers his leg so the wood is between his legs and his palms root themselves there as he leans closer to hover his face upon yours.

"What, I'm not allowed to want to kiss you out of nowhere?"

You roll your eyes at his dramatic tone, though you don't even try to hide the grin on your face. "I'm just asking."

"And I just want to kiss you. Why are we arguing?"

"Gyu, I'm just asking." You laugh, your palm barely covering his face to hide your flustered one. How can he say things like that so casually without looking away from your own gaze.

"And I just want to kiss you."

"Gyu I--mmph." It takes you a second to close your eyes and grin into the kiss, fingers gripping your book as Mingyu's softly grasp your face.

He's also grinning when he pulls away, then dives for another kiss the moment he thinks you're about to pretend to complain.

He knows how much you love his sudden kisses, anyway.

Bunny Xavier with Bunbun 🥺

I honestly didn't know what I was doing but I know what I want to achieve.

Made a custom brush but didn't use it with it's initial settings. Twas too thin. Still ended up using a thick brush - the one thing I wish I won't use because I was experimenting. Why do I want to use a thinner brush? It's because I kept comparing my works with others with thin outlines. In the end, I thought perhaps I won't be able to do that kind of style because that wasn't my style 🤷‍♂️ THIS is my style. Heavy outline. Hard edges. Pointy. I mean it's okay to experiment or get inspiration from others right? Thing is I get easily frustrated when I can't recreate the vision I have in my head. So I go back to my usual stuff. Which is not a bad thing. See the pushing and pulling? Told yall I don't know what I am doing hahaha

If I go back to my previous drawing of my very first otome husbando (hi Yooseong-ah), I can say I improved somehow.

Swear I had to convince myself to dial down the blush because Idk I like a blushy boi aaand I think I learned something about myself as an artist or someone who draws lol. I'll keep it to myself for now. Maybe if an opportunity presents itself, amma show it to yall?

Still have pending art in queue but guess what I created another one. I still have to make a storyboard for a comic. My wips are protesting already hehe
