Happy Anniversary In Stars and Time!! Have some Friend Quest based drawings :D

(These have specific quote picks related to them! And there's also a long ramble on why I like those specific quotes below if interested)

(And by long, I mean roughly 2k+ words of proper ramble total, so be warned before clicking keep reading this link right here to the rb!!)

[luck-of-the-drawings]

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

[wanderingibon]

yaelokre's new album songs of origin is so good GWAHHH the vibe the lyrics, im chewing on this so hard.. especially for dragon age ocs, not to be cringe on main but 'bird cage blue and yellow' is giving crow rook and lucanis (in terms of their characters / story parallels) to me severely. let me cook

SEASON 3 TRAILER DROPPED HERES MY THOUGHTS (LN spoilers)

BROTHER AND SISTER OF ALL TIME THEYRE SO CUTE <3 love seeing how their relationship has progressed from beako literally throwing him out a window for stuff like this to her happily playing along its so so so so so cute. genuinely just one of the cutest and sweetest dynamics in the series

hi ram roswaal and fred :) this is probably all we're going to really see of you guys this arc lol

JOSHUA REAL!!!!! but not for long (also otto in the bg foreshadowing all the drinking hes about to do this arc. hes so stressed. poor emilia is trying her best)

julius looks so babyfaced here? they really emphasized his long eyelashes just like subaru has been on about every time he mentions him. they better include the scene where he checks him out, like, if they dont animate subaru looking dead at this mans ass im going to riot

i LOVE this shot of ana. you can really tell shes up to some corrupt capitalist bullshit as we speak. love her for that. wish i had this pic when i made that one money game anastasia video

the red dress actually does look really good on crusch like it compliments the green hair really well but also the crusch we know would not walk around in such a thing so its like. damn looks like the "memories are an important part of identity" story thinks memories are an important part of identity. who knew.

ALSO LOVE FELTS NEW LOOK SO MUCH! the only complaint is i felt (felt lol) like the red brought out her eyes more but the blue also looks cool. three primary colors all being used looks nice too

whatever who cares about all that THE CUNT!!!!!!! THE CUNT IS HERE!!! I CANNOT WAIT FOR ALL THE DRAMA SHE CAUSES TO BE ANIMATED FOR REAL

no fucking way... did they actually...

THEY DID! THEY CENSORED THAT HORRIBLE FUCKING DESIGN OH MY GOD. SHES WEARING SHORTS AND JUST A CROPPED SHIRT. AND CHAPS I GUESS? BUT ALSO A LITTLE SKIRT CAPE SO NO ASS SHOTS... THIS WILL MAKE WATCHING THE SEASON SO MUCH MORE TOLERABLE. i mean not perfect but STILL.

photos taken seconds before disaster lmfao. i still love how chin thinks subaru is a freak and weirdo for being so buddy buddy with him after he and his buddies mugged him. twice. (even more times from subarus perspective. hell he stabbed subaru once) genuinely cant wait to see more of this dynamic its so stupid.

THE FUCKING CUNT!!!!!! also the apples lol

oh you poor thing. you have no idea what next level family drama bullshit awaits. good luck. get ready to kill grandma AGIAN lol

:'( emilia still misses her terrible cat dad and its kinda sad when you know were not getting a resolution on that here either. they both look so sad :(

i cannot wait for garf mommy issues round fucking 2.

THIS CRAZY BITCH!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS CRAZY BITCH ANIMATED. I CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW THEYRE PORTRAY HER MANNERISMS. ESP W HOW WILD PETELGEUSE WAS ANIMATED IN S1. REAL LOONY TOONS BULLSHIT. AND HER POWERS ARE ALSO SOOOOOO MUCH COOLER I CANT WAIT

NO MORE DRESSES FOR CRUSCH YAY

he fucking bit it. yeah i guess thats what dogs do tho.

YOU. DIVORCE MAN. KILL YOURSELF. SLASH SERIOUS.

the empathy powers will have a glowing eye effect. very cool but i hope they dont show it too much in the first scene bc like in the LN i think its cooler if you dont know why everything is so... Wrong.

i dont rly have anything to say i just think ferris looks cool covered in blood. imagine being healed here like doctor catgirl will see you now

emilia be nice. that crazy bitch might be your mom. just like how the previous crazy bitch was in fact your dad.

THEY CHANGED UP CAPELLA'S DESIGN TOO honestly tho her being sexualized makes sense w a lot of the themes (the way its intentionally meant to be perverse and gross in a way explicitly stated) so i didnt mind as much and she still IS here but. this is still an improvement imo just a better outfit looks cooler. bug.

NAUR I DONT WANNA WAIT... OCTOBER.... AUGH

[normalcannibalism]

(sketches + other stuff under cut)

sketches . little wendy was originally a warm up sketch for me to figure out how to draw her and figure out her colours, but i liked her enough to fully finish her, yay. you can kinda see my struggle to figure out what eye colour to do but. i finished drawing wendy and jusr gave up so no eye colour for her ^_^ or any sp character i may draw. probably. dont have much to say, i did kinda struggle for a bit with them tho

bg stuff. the first wendyls were originally warm up sketches, like the little wendy but i liked them. but now enough to finish them so i snuck them in the bg. phone is meant to reference call girl, she's also te picture on the phone wowwwwww. i originally wanted to fully draw call girl like how i did with wendy and wendyl, but her outfit was just too confusing for my brain at the time so. phone bg . nothing to say about the little tiny wendys and the dont fuck with wendy testaburger, i think the wendyl is funny to see like this. you can tell i just. idk how to word it, you know what i did right

finished character art. or whateber you call it. i dont habe anything to say, these are pretty. basic for me but i dont think i've ever done anything in the same style as the little wendy? there's a few flaws i can see with the wendy and wendyl but i think those are just. things no one else will notice, so i'm not gonna lose my mind trying to fix it. i am overall happy with all of these though, and this piece in general.

this art is now the one that took me the longest to draw, the last one's time being like. 11 hours? 12 hours? god. this one also definitely took me slightly longer than this time as i had to start on a new canvas. i don't think the last one is posted here, it could honestly be lost to time?? unless i have it in my archival discord server... idk.

anyways, hi hello. i am watching south park with my brother rn, but i have been a weird little freak and watching a bunch of video essays about it too so. i'm Not going in spoiler free, neither is my brother ithink? idk he's watched a bit of it, he's played the games i know that for sure. this weird fixation i'm having is rtgame's fault (joke) because i was watching nothing but his sot and fbw vods for weeks :') i feel somewhat guilty about it but. i enjoyed what i saw. idk man. wendy is one of my favourites rn. that could change. idk. a. i dont really have much to say, i am just. here. this took me ages to draw wtf. uhhhh bg. blame my brother if you hate me now because i posted this, he told me to post this ^_^ his fault. fuck him (joke)

sorry this was so long, thanks for lookign at it if you did :) bye

CH23 SPOILERS AHEAD

Anon that asked about price and nik here. You said it yourself, but I'm gonna clarify my point anyway. What was missing for me here was a build up to their relationship. A lot of the times fic writers just pair up the guys for the sake of pairing them up with someone, that's kind of the vibe I got here. Cause so far nik was more of a bg character and we didn't really get to see their chemistry, that's why it kinda doesn't sit right with me. Like, you did it perfectly with rigo and roach, they had a mutual friend they were connecting with, they both have a quirky side to them and it just feels like they click. Ghost and reaper have a backstory, similarities and their chemistry is also on point etc. This one was missing that build up which I enjoy reading, that's all. Just giving a bit of constructive criticism, I'm sure you won't take it too seriously, you know what you're doing. I love your writing and the effort you put in it and I'm sure you appreciate this kind of feedback as well. Lots of loveeee

hi anon!! i'd love some extra input on this, maybe any ideas you have on better incorporating/bringing it full circle in future chapters, i'd love to hear more thru dms if ur comfortable (no worries if not, just an easier back and forth there!) because i think you're right. reading back, it does feel kinda rushed and i don't like that as much (unfortunately, it is already posted, so there's limited walking room here)

i dont mind the criticism and i really appreciate the fact that you're being so nice about it-- i really appreciate the love and thank u for the continued support! :)

[symphorine]

some more, still with spoilers

- i rly like how many actual Scenes between companions ive seen!! not just banter, but them hanging out or helping each other (or fighting lol i just had to mediate between emmrich and taash). def doing a lot to make them feel more real and more like a team and its just nice tbh

- the dragons look good but i think they recycled a lot from dai there (quite a few of the attacks were the same, the head shapes, etc). overall easier than dai in terms of moveset id say. but I also have a stupid powerful build rn that gives me 10k crits about 10/15% of the time. which is actually a fair amount. they do need that balance patch

- still happy with bg integration in interactions! there's been less warden focused stuff but it still comes up. its nice

- ive started coming back to the lighthouse more in between missions and its paying off. characters interacting yay

- did a few personal quests including lucanis'. decided to romance him when i discovered he needed therapy so bad that spite had to stage an emergency intervention. i am endeared and entertained.

- going dragon hunting with taash is actually rly cool and fun... they know a lot abt the dragons and they respect them, dont see them as trophies or anything.

- i like reading the codex entries. a lot of them have been notes or correspondence between characters and i like the format.

- transmog system is a lifesaver. i wonder if unlocked appearances stay unlocked between playthroughs...? that would be nice

- i think the cities feel alive and i find that impressive. its hard to make it feel like that ive found in games, esp for massive cities, but both treviso and minrathous locations are only one district, which helps, but theyre also well populated, with ambient dialogue painting different people going on about their lives! i like it!

- crashed a couple more times but going well other than that. load times are surprisingly short. but to be fair i have a very decent setup and installed the game on an ssd, so that helps. still, nice experience

- ive noted before i regret a little having companion relationships be mostly not too conflicty. 1) not entirely true, as ive had more banter (emmrich with taash, a little bit davrin; davrin and lucanis), but also 2) i think that the multi companion scenes i mentioned above help with selling me the notion that this is a team thats close knit. and i appreciate that. like, that closeness is being backed up by dialogue and scenes and not just told. ill admit im very basic in my approach to rpgs so i dont mind that much the lack of diversity in mmmmm amiability? like the way characters will find understanding with rach other, be polite, be nice, rather than more antagonistic or abrasive. but i understand why it would disappoint others.

can't sleep so gonna jot down some thoughts abt davg under a readmore. itll have spoilers!

[kneehighcrocs]

FOR THE FUTURE TRAILER SPOILERS!!!!

idk how big the gap has to be for it to say keep reading or whatever so just scroll rly far yk

im just gonna list everything i see and think

the collector let king keep francois but idk where they are

theres so many things i can say abt that stack of tomes i cant even start

LILITHS HAIR??? OMG <33 it reminds me of cissy but i wonder why she had to cut it that short

poor hooty :(

as hooty is showing king says “watch things pass” does that mean hooty is essentially dead

the collector rly let loose. everywhere is starry and purple now

also i thought the whole head of the titan was decimated? ig not since only rly the top left is gone

they puppetified (for lack of a better word) all the coven heads

but where is terra.

WHERE IS TERRA

i wonder if theres any reason why we cant see dariuss face

was king trying to sneak off with hooty?

SHORT HAIRED EDA

seems like shes been shifting into harpy form way more judging by the amount of feathers

im assuming the collector is who scribbled out the “but should they meddle in our affairs” etc paragraph, but we dont get shown fully what theyve written under

they even puppetified the damn bugs

im assuming they are the one flicking that star but where are they? it shows bump at hexside after but wherever they are doesnt look like hexside. looks more like a house

they got all the teachers even the illusions one

the transformation could be painful judging by the split second we see bump grimace

they all look sad/disturbed apart from hunter who looks angry

hes also stood a lot further away than anyone else idk if that has any significance

marcy wuz here reference? lol

i do wonder who wrote these bc “there is no titan” doesnt seem very collector-y

“bad word” does tho. also smth abt “kissing ___ grass” and “owls r dumb”

hootys weird vein thingies arent in the door

maybe another grimwalker?? but idk how belos would have the materials

could be beloss hand as he tries to go back into his human form but im not sure

i thought it could be in his cave but theres what i think is a curtain off to the side so maybe not

theyre at hexside now judging by the bg

amity saying oh my titan is rly confusing to me bc the first two shots of her face seem serious but the last seems comedically exaggerated? idk

no idea what she could be looking at to be honest. possibly the twins or smth

we dont know what that glyph is but maybe it has smth to do with the potential grimwalker

is that the cave belos was in in ep12?

the collector has changed the whole town

idk who could be attacking but a puppet is running away in the bg so it could be eda or smth not realising who hunter and willow are

matt i dont approve of the beard

barcus, skara and matt seem very calm but i find that weird. all the teachers have been transformed so i thought the school would be basically unavailable, but they seem to have set up camp there

not sure where they could be here. my first thought was the detention pit just judging by the eyes and claws on the wall but remembering the size of it changed my mind a little

why isnt matt fighting whatever luz and amity are?

camila looks terrified but she did only just get there so

MAJOR REVELATION HERE TO WHOEVERS BOTHERING TO READ ALL THIS- they looked through luzs memories. THEY LOOKED THROUGH LUZS MEMORIES

she looks guilty, matt looks confused and maybe sad and we cant see amitys face but guessing off context and body language shes concerned

again, idk who could be attacking here

seems like not all the students managed to avoid getting puppetified. cat and amelia are off to the side

king looks determined, the collector looks angry in a childish way. im not sure what they could be flying towards

ig king is pretending to side with the collector

we see more of the eyeball cave thing from earlier, and theres what i think is a clear entrance, so i rly dk where this is.

but CAMILA IS FIGHTING 💪💪

the owl beast can take over even when eda is in harpy form?

idk what it is abt this scene but the animation of eda losing it seems different. i think its just the lack of shadows since the lightings behind her

im gonna guess this last scene is what happened right after the hexsquad went through the door

bc theres still chunks of the skull floating and king has no robe

this mustve been before they got the idea of transforming everyone bc if eda got that close and is still fine then yk

king looks very worried but seems like he knows theres basically nothing he can do abt it

thats all ive got for now 🤭🤭

[taeyamayang]

BTS x Haikyuu

ft. some of the dynamics i love

a/n: inspired by an army's "bts as haikyuu characters" post on twitter and @haikyuuublog 's post about haikyuu as ship/trope dynamics, correct me if im wrong (ur content is so entertaining it inspired me to explore bts and hq's dynamics lol). anyway, it's about time i unleash the armyweeb in me *dramatically chuckles*

disclaimer: purely based on how i perceive each characters and bangtan members.

iwaoi as yoonmin

the easily riled up vs the enabler

i mean, please, the amount of BICKERING

lmao i cant

its actually funny when you watch them chaff from the sidelines

the way oikawa (yoongi) knows exactly what iwaizumi's (jimin's) trigger points

and he intentionally presses his buttons

then continue to chuckle to himself as he watches the other lose his mind over it gskshsk

and are we going to talk about their chemistry???

sure, they fight over petty things and tease 24/7 but you can literally feel their fondness for each other

they have each other's back

and are ready to pull their sleeves up when someone messes with the other

ugh, i love them

daisuga as namjin

the old married couple with kids

ah, classic

ofc i have to emphasize on the 'kids'

cause it's so obvious on daichi's (namjoon's) face how tired he is when the rest of the members fool around

he sits in one corner and be like 👁👄👁 🧍🏻‍♀️

and then there's suga (seokjin) laughing with the kids

AND I BET

he started the chaos

dont tell daichi (namjoon)

also, daichi (namjoon) is the disciplinarian of the family while suga (seokjin) is the 'feeder' or rather the one in charge of checking the kids' well being sometimes a spoiler too ;)

a perfect balance, if you ask me

kuroken as sope

the low energy and his battery supply

i couldve named this better but my braincells are wonky tonight

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

i cannot stress any further how yoongi reminds me of kenma

i mean?? hello??

they're both intellectually gifted, introverted, would rather play games/be in his studio all day, sleep >>> workout

meanwhile we have kuroo (hobi) who's down for literally anything and is VERY meticulous and group oriented

*cue* kuroo and daichi's tensed greetings and hobi's quick eye for mistakes during practices

but together (even though they may seem like an odd match) they get along pretty well

kenma (yoongi) goes with the flow with whatever kuroo (hobi) feels like doing

i mean,

kenma played volleyball for kuroo and yoongi applying facemask infront of thousands of people ON LIVE because he's with hobi

also, let's not forget the ten years history both pairs have in common

kagehina as vmin

the soulmates

bonus: they share one braincell

both are equally competitive

*cough* random unnecessary races and any run bts ep that contains food as the price

and the amount of trust they put in each other is HILARIOUS

and they know the other like the back of their hand

like kagehina literally battled with the miya brothers, A MONOZYGOTIC TWIN, and yet they defeated them because they were able to predict the opponents' next move TOGETHER

i mean what kind of telepathy is that??

likewise with vmin, you could see these two sharing glances from across the room then LAUGHING TO THEMSELVES

i just??

they're literally strangers born from different mothers

but they think and act like one person

guaranteed, it's a soulmate thing

this is their worldㅡtheir story and we all exist as secondary characters

kurobuko as jinkook

partners in crime

alternative title: dumb and dumber

chaos exists where these two are

i feel like 80% of the content on bangtan bombs are just jinkook fooling around in the bg

and it's almost hard to believe that seokjin is the eldest while jk's the youngest

much like kuroboku,, i mean wow are they really CAPTAINS of formidable volleyball teams in tokyo??

you always catch them doing questionable things

and yet you love them

you find yourself waiting for a content that includes the two of them

they are a boost of serotonin and they make your day better with their stupid jokes and random antics

a/n: i hope you enjoyed this one lmao and thanks for reading! likes and rbs are very much appreciated

IM im watching a kdrama called 'under the queen's umbrella' and

SPOILERS BUT

but she catches her one son wearing make up and lady clothes and shes super shocked and worried that other ppl will find out like the dowager queen nd the king and so she burns down the abandoned house where her son was doing his thing before the dowager queen and the king can get there and find his stuff. the grand prince finds out and he's all sad and angry ofc and the queen is like 'im trying to protecc u, duh' and he's like 'O RLY' and she's like 'yea come meet me at the gate and i'll show u'

so it's night time and its raining and she leads her son to this artist's workshop and the lady's maid gave him the clothes AnD HIS HAIRPINS FROM BEFORE and he sits for a portrait and when its done ITS SO BEAUTIFUL AND HE STARTS CRYING AND I START cRYING TOO and he goes outside to his mother and hes like 'are u upset' and she goes 'i was shocked at first but actually i dont mind. ppl can have different wishes, even if they have to keep some secrets in their hearts, either way ur still my child.' and they HUG and CRY and I CRY and then they're walking home in the rain and the queen holds the umbrella mostly over her bby's head even tho she gets rain on her shoulder and the episode ends on a still

amphibia true colors spoilers below

song

friendship ended with fluff angst is my new friend

at first i thought saint bernard had sasha vibes but now that tc is out i think it’s got more marcy vibes

i have 30 more song ideas for angsty marcy things and i like them all but i bounce from idea to idea and tbh i’m surprised i managed to stay on this one for long enough to finish it

i also have a couple of, with lack of a better term, edgy things i’ve already drawn that i haven’t posted because i am not good at drawing edgy things hahaha pain

on an unrelated tangent if the crew goes for the “possessed marcy” route or even the “brainwashed marcy” route i’m SUING if they don’t have her use the nickname “anna-banana” mockingly at least once /JJJJJ

man i got lazy on the bgs please dont mind that

art block hit me like andr*as’s sword and scared my art style away so i had to adopt a new one i’m sorry

[slightly-gay-pogohammer]

SO FUN FUN FUN GIO ADVENTURES WITH BAKING, SINCE IT’S BEEN A WHILE AND I’VE BEEN CRAVING A BREAKFAST CAKE FOR A WHILE

forgot to make myself a coffee, but that’s okay i felt energized when i woke up so i went “nvm i dont need that” :D

spoiler i needed it

shoved the thing in the oven for 40 minutes at 190°, it IMMEDIATELY starts smelling like burnt stuff so i lower it at 180° just to be sure

i spent 5 good minutes asking myself wether nor not i should thank google home for keeping the time when i was working the eggs

i thanked him :)

when it reaches the last 10 minutes i go “hmm yknow what i usually check more recipes for baking instead of choosing just one” and i give the blame to it for lack of caffeine

SPOILER EVERY SINGLE OTHER SITE TELLS ME 30 MINUTES FOR 180°

cake yeeted out of the oven. top of the cake yeeted directly in the trash because it’s literally a burnt brick

that’s how i also discovered that instead of flour i used WEATH!!!! because we ALWAYS fucking put the flour in a specific vase but lately apparently someone here changed their mind and put WEATH IN THAT FUCKING VASE!!!!!

mom calls me and i go O F F yelling and freaking out and laughing and i clearly hear laughs in the background when i go “AND FUCK THAT ONE LADY AND HER 40 MINUTES RECIPE”

i realize mom has to use speakerphone to hear anything with her phone and that she can use it only during coffee breaks. and the coffee machine is right at the entrance of the gym where she works. where most of the other workers and people working out are.

the laughs in the bg are likely from either the costumers or the secretaries

so basically im sitting here like

[thedevilliers]

Hey, I've been reading your story for a while, and I'm enjoying it very much. Following the De Villiers has been so fun, and you've inspired me to create my own royal Simblr!

Can you maybe share some tips about what to do with your royals? I'll be posting my family within the next few weeks, and I have already planned out several engagements + events, including visits to parks/schools/hospitals, parties, and news surrounding a royal pregnancy. I've also planned out the first arc. I don't know what else to do, and I've barely started! If you have any tips related to the beginning of your Simblr that you didn't cover in your other post, I would so appreciate them. I want to get all this nailed down *before* posting, so my blog is the best that it can be.

Also, if you have any advice on how to make things as efficient as possible (especially regarding posing sims, editing/writing posts, etc.), I would love that! I want to cut down on time wasted wherever I can.

Thank you!! :-)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 me?!!?!?! ME ??????? omg 🧍‍♀️ thank u for reading my story 🥺 and AAAAAAAAAAAA your own royal simblr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ill answer everythin under the cut !!!!! spoilers: it got long sorry

first of all, remember we ALL started somewhere. you can look at my first like... fifteen and even MORE posts and they are BAD. oh my gawd idk why i thought they were good, but hey! i learned things from them. you will more than likely change your mind about certain things from the beginning of your blog to who knows, four months from now. don’t focus and worry a lot on ‘perfection’ and setting up ‘high standards’ from the beginning. treat it like a learning curve! this is something we all do for fun, so don’t get stressed a lot on it. you can always change and adapt things and that’s no problem!

i love lists, so im gonna list a few things of advice/tips basing myself on what you said!!!

i personally don't do engagements anymore, so i can't really help you in this regard of even more activities you could do 🧍‍♀️ what i could recommend for people to get to know your characters' personalities and private lives and grow attached to them, add in BTS posts.

continuing on my BTS’ post thing, they are a GREAT way to show more than what the public sees for your royals. because from a press and public point of view, you don't really know 'what goes on behind closed doors'. they could be all happy in public, but in privatE??!??!!?!?

as i said in my starting out guide, i did have around ~15 drafts done before i started posting. just so i could not stress about “oh my god i dont have any posts for tomorrow”. a LOT of ppl do posts and queue them as they go, and they have MANY posts done and usually they start accumulating and they are MONTHS in advance compared to what they’re currently posting. if this method works for you, you can definitely use it!

please, please please read your dialogue OUT loud. is it possible to say a 2093023902 word sentence without a singular use of punctuation? do people in this age and era really talk this way? also please if possible use correct grammar. just a little pet peeve, it can take a reader out of the immersion your story gives them.

we all have our lil dialogue habits. mine is starting sentences with “oh” and the infamous dash “—”. others use ellipses. just make sure you aren’t overdoing it. for example, doing a sentence like “oh— there you are. i was uhm— looking for you. how—how are you? its—i mean where have you uhm— been? yes—ive—ive been fine. you? i mean— your mom” ....just no 😔 it doesnt read well at ALL

you can always do lil filler posts, dont tell anyone tell you otherwise. post a little simstagram post, a little family portrait, updated portraits post, family hanging out, kids hanging out, etc.

for posing sims, i do try and remember where MOST of my poses are in the ingame list. usually creators’ correctly naming the poses helps a lot. for example i need a Mel Bennet pose; hers are usually ALL in the same spot and have the same lil aqua bg so i can easily find them. sometimes, i dl pose packs VERY specifically for a certain scene. am i gonna use them again? no. so i open the .package file in sims4studio and rename them to “00 for emi scene [rest of the og name” so when i open my game, they are around the top of the list! no more scrolling and i easily know what i need it for.

dont be scared to plan things that are happening MONTHS from now or anything in detail. some ppl dont like planning things in detail, or even dont like planning things AT ALL or things that arent happening say, in over 2 weeks because idk, they get bored. i recommend at LEAST having a list of things that HAVE to happen so you have ‘goals’ and you slowly plan out how you’re gonna get there. at LEAST theres some level of planning there. if you’re posting and PLANNING as you go, there’s gonna be holes. and it’s gonna be obvious.

editing wise, i don’t do much. my reshade does most of the work, i just add in my psd, add text and done! this is easily the fastest thing you will ever do.

if you get inspired by someone else doing, idk, a certain layout for the portraits, them adding little things to their captions, a certain edit, etc. if you want to do something similar and you ARE very much aware you were inspired by them, credit them in the caption. i beg. its free, its the nice thing to do, bc if not its rude.

if you get inspired by a certain storyline someone else did and you notice yours is gonna be similar, go ahead and send them a message to let them know and if they have any tips or feel uncomfortable with you doing this. simply put, if you don’t, you’re gonna look bad. we are all bound to do same storylines, such as assassinations, shooty shooty’s, stalkers, first loves, accidental babies, etc. but what changes is how each person approaches it. no ones gonna do it the same way as you and others. if you CONSCIOUSLY start copying else, stop it. and you could even be unconsciously be inspired by someone else too. it happens! just make sure you are able to look at the bigger picture and realize “hey, i’m doing something wrong”

same thing with dialogue. you like a line someone else said in their story? don’t just... steal it and incorporate it into yours word BY WORD

OVERALL: you can be inspired. give credit where it’s due. and don’t copy because someone else is doing ‘something others like’ and you want others to like your story. no no no !

im adding this AFTER i posted it but, be yourself. in the way you interact with others and send questions, etc. don’t try and copy someone else’s personality because they are liked and essentially absorb them. be yourself and i’m sure a lot of ppl will like you the way you are : D

for my writing dialogue etc, this goes back to my point 8. i use milanote, its free and you get 200 free thingies to use, and i plan out how every single one of my posts is gonna go. so i just have to go ingame and i already know what im gonna do. no thoughts, just taking screenshots. for example, this is how a part of my part 2, chapter 3 posts layout looks like. every square is a post that has what is happening, who is in it, what is gonna be said very vaguely, etc:

11. and the most important tip! don’t compare yourself to others. i did it at the beginning. i think we all did at one point. its not good for you at all. please always remember we all are here for share our lil stories with each other and it’s not easy get a following. you’ll get there and its gonna take time. be patient, be nice!!! and i cant wait to see your story!!!!!!!!!!

[homosvxual]

hey everyone !! <3 i’m kahlo and this is the baby to end all babies... catra ! i’ll write da usual stuff under the cut including some bg info & whatever. spoilers for she-ra below,, if u ever need a non-spoilery breakdown just dm me and i’ll be happy to oblige !!

uploading data … ⟳ 𝙲𝙾𝙼𝙿𝙻𝙴𝚃𝙴 ! welcome , CATRA. a long way from SHE-RA AND THE PRINCESSES OF POWER , huh ? hm … a twenty year old waitress who looks like BRITTANY O’GRADY — could be worse. i heard you were at PIZZA PLANET when we un - glitched , & you (  gasped and whispered adora’s name ]. still the RESOURCEFUL & JEALOUS type , that’s why [ doc martens, ripped jeans, and snarky comments ]’s totally your vibe. the memory of DEFEATING HORDE PRIME is hazy , but maybe the ( mask and force captain badge ) waiting for you at the pawn shop’ll bring clarity. + catgirl , cisfemale [ she/her ] , lesbian.

ok so here she works at pizza planet as a waitress bc i think that’s funny as fuck and i love to put this bastard through misery. she hates the annoying ass kids running around w snot dripping out of their nose but she really doesn’t know what else to do. plus pizza planet....space... kinda reminds her of etheria in a fucked up way.

she has her long messy hair tho i’m sorry rip to the asking for the manager season 5 haircut 

but anyways..... yeah. she’s kinda aching for adora but really wants a new start and she’s like fuck it if working at a pizza planet is the way to go lets fucking do it baby ? 

i also feel like she thinks adora will see the word ‘planet’ and bring her big empty headed forehead over there,, so catra just stays put in case she ever comes (she is delusional jfkdlsfjkds)

catra just stares at the mask and force captain badge with disgust most of the time because she knows she was just.... so terrible back then. 

if u don’t watch she-ra, basically catra is like......a feral raging homosexual with mommy issues and has a bunch of repressed emotions. she’s a scorpio and evil -- jk, she was but then she got a kick ass redemption arc. she was literally in love w her best friend adora and took it out on the world like a freak ? always felt the need to prove herself but nowadays she’s mellowing out. she’s still a work in progress tho and can tend to be a snappy asshole. enjoys making fun of people and also starting fights. big teaser. needy. abandonment issues and has trauma from physical and emotional abuse from her supposed mother figure (miss shadow weaver smh)

but deep down she’s got a heart of gold and i think that is beautiful <3

she hates water. 

also physical touch. if u dont know her like that and try to hug her she will sue

likes cats :3 has a kitty named melog 

also i’m sorry that her name is catra what can u do with a cheesy 80′s reboot sjkfhdskjlffdjl u will look her in the eyes and call her a cat.

i dont think shes a catgirl in this virtual world but if u wanna picture brittany o’grady w ears and a tail i will not stop u

big lesbian

she has heterochromia so one eye is blue, the other is yellow !

i like to think she picked up skateboarding living on this world so fuck it. she skateboards to work 

will cause problems on purpose

she’s super smart tho and cunning and tactical <3 queen shit

if your character has any kind of morals she thinks they’re corny asf

ok some possible connections:

a FRIEND !! you might be thinking, well that’s lame and bland. but catra just does NOT make friends easily because she’s a dickhead. she pushes people away and keeps herself at a distance. especially after the whole ‘i had a friend once but then we fell in love after i tried to kill her multiple times’ thing! i’d like it if someone could redefine what it means to be friends for her :( that’d be nice. bc friendship leaves a bad taste in catra’s mouth.

PETTY ENEMIES !! catra is always sticking her tongue out at them, teasing them, giving them a hard time & ur muse is most likely returning the energy. what are they enemies about ? why can’t they get along? we can plot that out !! :3

her therapist. pfksdlfjsfls this one’s mostly a joke but fr maybe catra goes to ur muse for all her problems and she’s like “tell anyone i said that tho and i’ll kill u. ok see u same time tomorrow -_-” 

HOOK UPS! catra needs to get out her needy sexual frustrations because YOU try working at pizza planet all day, okay ? it’s disgusting. she’s lonely. but don’t touch her afterwards she’ll bully you.

A MOTHER FIGURE.. please oh my god ? catra has NEVER in her life had a positive motherly figure ?? give her advice. hand on the shoulder. scold her. offer words of encouragement fkjslfs

idk what else to put but yes thank u for reading i love you!!!!!! pls hmu to plot!!!!! or we can just wing it out ! i don’t mind either hehe :~)

why bighit is trash

or, alternatively, a list of things that bighit, an entertainment company/music label, should start doing and stop acting like a small company.

im puting everything under a read more bcos its a lot, for one, and im also sure that not everyone wants to read it or cares lmao

a little disclaimer;  i speculate and connect things based off of the things we are shown/told, i will spoil some parts of their recent movie AND its not bighit-positive, obviously

okay to start this off, bighit released an official statement to say that bts will be going “on an official and extended period of rest and relaxation” and that’s honestly one of the best things that bighit has done for bts.

the statement is linked, but since i will be referring to a fair few points on it i will also attach it here

the issues start with the opening sentence.

“for the first time since their debut” bts will be going on an official and extended period of rest. to rephrase, for the first time in 6 years, the 7 men of bts will not be surrounded by cameras, will not be expected to attend any rehearsals or interviews and will not be expected to produce or write lyrics. they will not have any responsibilities tied to their work. or, that is what we all had assumed, but as we now know the members were expected to film content on what they do during their break and, if jungkooks video is anything to go by, they were also expected to edit and send it in to the company for “review”.

judging by the release/filming of Hoseok & Becky G’s CNS, it seems like their “break” does not include solo activities. or does bighit consider the building of ones own reputation as an individual artist an “extra” and not a part of ones work?

“enjoy the ordinary lives of people in their 20s, albeit briefly”

this just hurts. it was bighits responsibility to make sure that they got more chances to enjoy their lives.

the good

bighit reminding uglies to stay the fuck away from them during their short break.

okay, the statement aside, i want to talk about a few other bighit-bts related things.

bighit staff and sasaengs

- stalkers appearing in hoseoks bday vlive (no its not staff, the girls’ accounts were found on instagram. they were quite pleased with themselves) were was the security ? how did the girls know which room the boys were in ? doesn’t bighit rent out the entire hotel floor ? does that mean they were allowed in ? why ? did they pay ? do their parents have connections bighit could use ?

- giving away members clothes, providing concert entrance, giving away members numbers ect

the thing that occurred during hoseoks vlive was not looked into, as far as i am aware, however Jimin’s Gucci concert shirt being 'lent’ to a stalker was.

However, minimum to little effort was put into the case because no staff was fired, no disciplinary measures were taken and no consequences occurred.

- during either DNA or Fake Love comeback stages on music shows, some armys were not permitted entrance and some privileged people were taken backstage to meet the members (which is NOT allowed, at any point. those are PRIVATE areas for the idols to rest and prep for the stage) source 1 & more if you look around.

- not firing a manager that hit jungkook source (some speculate he was fired, others speculate he was removed from being a manager and took another position within bighit.)

- bighit restricting any and all interactions with the members among staff. according to one of the backup dancers during Not Today and/or Singularity, bighit staff was very strict about NOT speaking with the members.

take the last point as you will. I have my own thoughts about it

- no subs on army kit content, no subs for bangtan bombs (other channels have them. bighit claims themselves to be a global company but doesn’t move as such). its all well and good to say “you’re stanning a korean company, learn korean!” and this may work for bangtan bombs, but what about army kit content? why isn’t that subtitled? or should that be dismissed with “you don’t have to buy it”?

the good

- giving bts a private jet and not making them go through public entrances and exits. thank u bighit

the movie

this will contain spoilers.

- big hit staff filmed the members during their vulnerable moments.

jungkook nearly passing out, filmed and slotted into the movie. the members crying and clearly feeling emotionally vulnerable ? recorded and snipped into the movie. this would’ve been fine if the members were fine with it, but jungkook was clearly trying to hide his face from the camera and jimin expressed not wanting to show himself in bad conditions.

- treatment of bighit staff

we all know that jungkook had to sit out during some stages during the love-yourself tour. what we didn’t know was that he got stitches without any medication that would ease his pain because he had to go on stage.

jungkook hurt himself so badly that he needed stitches, but was not allowed anything to subdue the pain while getting the stitches because it would not make him stage-ready. the staff members watched as he screamed while getting stitches.

now, i don’t really care whether it was jungkook’s decision or not. nobody in their right mind would let someone they care about go through with something like that. there will be other stages, there will be other concerts. however, idk why i find this surprising since jungkook was hit by a staff member before and the only reason why he got fired was bcos it was spotted in the bg of a bangtan bomb and armys demanded for the man to be fired.

- secondly, jimin’s neck and dropping out of the graham norton show.

i cannot find the translation rn, but while deciding what to tell the fans with regards to what happened to jimin and why he isn’t able to perform with the rest, namjoon tries to opt for telling the truth in a gentle way while one of the staff members suggests a white lie as to not worry the fans.

this has also happened before with the korean vs english statement regarding jungkook’s heal injury. the korean explanation stated that it was serious, while the english one explained it more casually. i cannot find the sources currently, but if you look around yourself you can find them. 

bighit.

- keeping supreme boi employed

- forcing jimin and jin to sing in female key in fake love, despite both of them expressing their struggle with reaching such high notes.

- not providing a vocal coach while on tour (jimin had to ask jungkook for advice)

- vocal line still have not got their own studios despite expressing their want for it, yet txt members have their own studios already. source

- members having less and less influence over the groups music. even recently yoongi mentioned that the songs he makes don’t match with bts’ music/style anymore source

- bighit being immensely difficult to work with overseas (strict venue rules regarding staff, changing things last minute, not being time-efficient)

- leaving taehyung’s stage name out of promotional works/promo tweets

- not taking action against death threats made against taehyung

- forcing jimin to speak about his death threats during a live, global interview in korea

- not cleaning up the copyright matter over using michael jackson’s song “black or white” in the festa performance of jimin and jungkook - resulted in their performance being taken down 

- no bangtan bomb behind jimin creating his song “promise”, while recently there have been videos released of jins, jungkooks and taehyung’s solos

- bighit shooting down collaborations and picking and chosing the artists that collab with bts, despite the members wanting and expressing interesting in collaborations with said artist (why did we get a chainsmokers collab before a tinashe one? a khalid one?)

- bighits deal with dispatch. dispatch is known for exposing scandals and relationships among idols, so the fact that they get an exclusive peak into the bangtan life is interesting and rather worrisome.

-however, one of the dirtiest moves that bighit pulled was during the break between DNA and Fake Love. as we know now, that time was very hard for the members. it was in that gap that the members spoke of disbanding, there were rumours/concerns about jungkook’s well being and fans also pointed out taehyung’s odd state.

during this time, instead of allowing the members time and space to decide everything, bighit had applied for the legal copyright regarding everything bts. the group name was copyrighted, as were the members stage names, fandom name among other things (there are articles on naver, if you’re interested).

SPECULATION

i just want to stress that these are my thoughts and you are welcome to disagree and have your own opinions.

Although we know that the members have re-signed the contract with bighit for another 7 years, I do believe that their pens were pushed by bighit’s copyrighting run. the members had 2 choices; either bind yourself to another contract and stay with that which you have built for years, or drop everything and start anew. however, something tells me that bts didn’t sign the contract with no leverage.

namjoon had said previously that although the group started with 7 boys with the same goal, it now consists of 7 men on one boat, each with their eyes set on different horizons. i believe that with namjoon’s collaborations with more and more overseas artists (honne, fall out boy, lil nas x ect), he may have gotten himself more opportunities for solo work.

similar could be said about yoongi. the man is a musical genius and with his production of suran’s wine and heize’s we dont talk together, yoongi may also end up branching in that direction.

taehyung has expressed his interest in fashion and photography a lot over the past years. seokjin has not acted at all in his life, despite starting off to do just that. hoseok began to branch out with CNS but jimin and jungkook have seemingly little to no outside projects, either (though you could count wiom for jungkook)

the boys’ previous contract was, clearly, restricting and very demanding. i think that their new contract allows them a lot more freedom and room to establish a reputation as individuals. that isn’t to say, however, that bighit let the boys end bts as a whole and permitted them to go off and start solo careers.

from what is happening now and what has happened in the past, I do not believe that bighit would let bts disband, you can decide if that is for better or for worse. however, the only way to keep bts together and satisfied, is to give room for the members to do that what they want. i think that we may start to see some more solo projects from the members, and a lot more control and influence from the outside over bts’ music, concepts and management. ever since LY: Tear had been released, i find myself thinking that their next release will be the last one before a mass hiatus due to enlisting. this time, however, i feel like it may be their final release and concert tour before the group steps back for a while.  bighit debuted a new group and is pumping a lot of money into it. they had also recently obtained an entire new company that not only has a lot of trainees of its own, but also manages Gfriend - an already debuted and established group. bighit is no longer the little underground company that relied on 7 boys to bring it out of its debts. however, it will not let its biggest source of income fall away because, at the end of the day, bighit is a company. the most likely scenario, to me, is that once seokjin and/or others enlist, bts as ot7 will go on a break, but bighit will still get to cash in through the boys’ solo work. so, we may see sneak peaks of their solo careers here and there, but bts will remain active as 7 until it can’t no more.
