You ever get a glitch that just makes you just stare at your screen like

I'm playing the other night, and while one of my Sims is on his business lot I pop into his relationship panel, and notice somehow he has a 100 over 100, best friends and in love relationship with the customer he's talking to.

I'm wondering how the hell that happened since I don't remember ever seeing them talking, plus my playable is a gay man and the other Sim is a straight man.

Then I look a little harder.

100 over 100 relationship scores, best friends and in love with TWENTY-NINE other Sims in the hood. Including plenty of women, which a gay man would not be attracted to anyways. Mix of playables and townies, a couple who I think are just bartenders the game has generated.

I have NO idea how it happened. I checked all the other members of his household, no one else had that issue. This was also on the very first day of their round so likely it was like this when I first loaded their lot this round.

I ended up having to spend quite a while teleporting all these Sims over, making them selectable to check from their side of the relationship panel what their scores should be (most of them he hardly knew, like 6 over 6 relationship scores were about the average) and manually resetting all the flags and scores with the Sim Blender and Sim Manipulator. Also confirmed all 30ish of those Sims didn't have any other anomalies in their other relationships either.

I run Hood Checker quite regularly, it came up with nothing. I've also run different versions of HCDU quite recently to suss out another totally unrelated minor conflict, but I know nothing came up regarding any mods that affect relationships.

I guess I just have to chalk this up to a big daddy game glitch for now, unless and until it happens again (hopefully not) and I can investigate it further then.

(PS - I told my mom about this glitch and her response was "Maybe the Sim is just a tramp." lmaaaaao)

(Edit - cause discovered in the comments!)

Right, but what if - Hazard and Reader who's a tattoo artist

ALSO I LOVE YOUR FICS, EACH AND EVERY ONE IS SO GOOD

DARE

Hazard x Tattoo Artist!Reader [REQUEST]

A/N: OKAY SO hear me out first, me and a couple of friends were on VC one day looking at Hazards emotes n shit right. We notice something on his sitting emote. Although dude is decked out head to toe with spikes or just overall darker clothing his lower back however, is EXTREMELY empty no mods, no marks, NOTHING, NADA.

And if you ask me, it’s perfect spot for one specific tattoo

A tramp stamp tattoo

Summary: Hazard lost a bet :]

Hazard stood outside Lucky 13 Ink, glaring at the neon skull above the door as it flickered mockingly. He adjusted his jacket, grumbling under his breath, his Scottish accent thickened by frustration.

“Fuckin’ stupid bet” he muttered, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Coulda just taken the bloody fold, but nooo, Hazard’s got tae go all in.”

His so-called friends—Boomslang, Jackdaw, and Revel—had been unbearable ever since the bet. The three had orchestrated his downfall with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, and now here he was, about to get a tramp stamp.

If they thought they were picking the design, though, they had another thing coming. He’d take the hit, aye, but on his own terms.

With a resigned sigh, he shoved open the door. A bell jingled overhead, announcing his arrival.

The shop was dimly lit, with glowing panels on the walls showcasing intricate tattoo designs that looked like something out of a cyberpunk fever dream. A low bassline hummed in the background, vibrating through his boots.

You were behind the counter, sketching on a glowing tablet. The mechanical arm you were using whirred softly as you worked, the faint blue light from its wiring casting shadows on your face.

Without looking up, you spoke. “Walk-ins are welcome, but if you’re here for a bad decision, I’ll need to see some ID first.”

Hazard froze, caught off guard by your dry tone. “Eh? Whit’s that supposed tae mean?”

Finally, you looked up, eyeing him critically before smirking. “Let me guess. Lost a bet?”

He groaned, dragging a hand down his face. “Ach, why does every bugger keep sayin’ that?”

You leaned on the counter, amused. “Because no one who looks exactly like you walks in asking for a tattoo last minute unless they’ve been bullied into it. So, what’s it gonna be? A little butterfly? Maybe some flames? Or a nice, dainty bow?”

Hazard scowled, his pride taking yet another hit. “Something cool, alright? Lower back. But make it look decent, aye?”

Your smirk widened. “Cool? You’re giving a lot to work here big guy.”

=====

You set to work on your tablet, the stylus gliding across the screen as glowing shapes materialized. Hazard leaned on the counter, his scowl softening into curiosity as he watched you work.

“So” you said after a moment, not looking up, “what kind of bet are we talking about?”

“Poker” he grumbled. “Thought I had a full house. Turns out, the bastards rigged the whole game. Loser gets a tramp stamp. Apparently, that’s me.”

You laughed softly, the sound light and teasing. “Sounds like you need better friends.”

“They’re eejits” he admitted, “but they’re my eejits.” He smiled softly to himself.

You glanced up at him briefly, your smirk softening. “Fair enough. Good thing you came here, though. I don’t do embarrassing tattoos. Only masterpieces.”

He raised an eyebrow. “Aye? And whit’s yer idea o’ a masterpiece?”

You turned the tablet toward him, revealing the design.

Hazard blinked, his jaw tightening slightly as he took in the image. It was stunning—a cybersigil that looked alive, its sharp, glowing lines forming an intricate symbol that pulsed with an almost otherworldly energy. It was futuristic and ancient all at once, like something ripped straight from the digital ether.

“Well?” you asked, clearly enjoying his stunned silence.

“This…” He hesitated, struggling to find the right words. “This is Fuckin brilliant!.”

You grinned. “Thought you’d like it. Ready to make it official?”

“Aye” he said, his voice steadier now. “Let’s get it done.”

=====

Hazard shifted in the chair as the tattoo gun buzzed to life.

“Relax” you said, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “I’ve done this a thousand times. You’re in good hands.”

“Relax, ye say?” he muttered, gripping the chair. “Aye, easy for you tae say. Yer no’ the one about tae be permanently marked.”

You chuckled, leaning in as you worked. “Trust me, it’s not that bad. You’d be surprised how many tough guys turn into babies once the needle starts.”

“I’m nae a bloody baby” he shot back, though his knuckles whitened as the needle touched his skin.

“Uh-huh” you said, your tone dripping with amusement. “Keep tellin’ yourself that.”

Hazard huffed, trying to focus on anything but the sting of the needle. “So” he said after a moment, “ye think this’ll shut ma pals up?”

“Oh, absolutely” you replied. “But when they see this, they’re gonna be jealous. This thing’s a work of art.”

“Aye, well, it better be” he said with a smirk. “Dinnae want tae hear about this for the rest of ma days.”

You chuckled to yourself and went back to concentrating, as you worked, your eyes occasionally flicked over to him. At one point, you caught sight of his muscles flexing as he tensed up. You couldn’t help but smirk.

“Not bad” you said casually, breaking the silence. “You’ve got some serious muscle, huh?”

Hazard’s ears turned slightly red at the unexpected compliment, but he hid it behind a half-grin. “Aye, well, nae bad for a guy who spends his time blowing stuff up, eh?”

You chuckled, your mechanical arm adjusting to get the perfect angle. “Well, I’d say it’s paying off. You’ve got a solid build. Could probably lift a ton and still look good doing it.”

Hazard’s jaw dropped slightly, then he flashed a cocky grin. “Ah, ye like what ye see, then?”

You looked at him with a playful, teasing glint in your eyes. “Oh, yeah. You’ve definitely got the look for a tattoo like this. It's like the tattoo was made for you.”

Hazard shifted a bit but was clearly flattered by the compliment. “Ha! Guess ye’ve got an eye for these things, eh?”

You smiled as you continued to work, the needle buzzing steadily. “I’m just stating the obvious. You’ve earned that design—looking like you do.”

“Ach, ye’ll make me blush if ye keep this up” he grumbled, though there was a definite smile behind his words.

=====

When you finished, you wiped down the tattoo and handed him a mirror.

Hazard twisted in the chair, craning his neck to see the design. His eyes widened slightly as he took it in—the cybersigil glowed faintly, the sharp lines and flowing patterns perfectly complementing his form.

“Fuckin’ hell” he muttered, a rare grin spreading across his face. “That’s… that’s somethin’ else.”

“Told you I don’t do ugly tattoos” you said, clearly pleased with his reaction.

He stood, adjusting his shirt carefully over the fresh ink. “Aye, thanks for no’ makin’ me look like a complete eejit. Yer a lifesaver.”

“Anytime” you said, handing him a care sheet and your card. “Take care of it, and come back if you ever want more ink. Or, you know, if your friends rope you into another dumb bet.”

He took the card, your fingers brushing his for a brief moment. “I might just do that.”

=====

Back at the hideout, Boomslang, Jackdaw, and Revel were waiting, drinks in hand and smug grins plastered across their faces.

“Well?” Boomslang said, leaning forward eagerly. “Let’s see it!”

Hazard sighed, turning around and lifting his shirt just enough to reveal the glowing cybersigil.

“What the hell?” Jackdaw muttered, squinting at the intricate design. “That’s… that’s actually cool.”

Revel whistled. “Mate, you got a bloody masterpiece back there.”

Boomslang frowned, his smug grin replaced with a scowl. “This doesn’t feel like a loss. You cheated.”

Hazard smirked, dropping his shirt and leaning back in his chair. “Can’t help it if I’ve got good taste, eh?”

As his friends bickered about the fairness of his “punishment” Hazard found his mind drifting back to you—the way you worked with such precision, your sharp wit, and the easy confidence that had made him feel like this whole ordeal wasn’t such a disaster after all.

Maybe losing that bet wasn’t the worst thing that could’ve happened.

[fadebolt]

Now, because I don't want to just mindlessly jump on a hate wagon, I will say that it's absolutely fine to not like the concept of the in-game wild animal slugcats being shipped. People have different tastes and opinions, and people really shouldn't be demanding others on the internet to change theirs, unless they have a very good reason to do so.

Unfortunately, the post kind of comes off as you doing exactly that, which is somewhat disrespectful, especially when there is no valid reason for it.

"Portraying two wild animals in romantic relationships is weird" is an inherently subjective opinion, and as such can't be used as a way to dissuade others from doing it. And there's a ton of reasons for that.

I am not a biologist, but I highly doubt that romantic attraction is a feeling exclusive to humans. Also, stories about wild animals in romantic relationships have been happening for a really long time, and there's many examples of them (well known ones are Bambi, The Lion King, and The Lady and the Tramp, and we Hungarians have Vuk, which was actually one of my favorite stories as a kid). They are usually about animals that can talk, yes, but basically everyone who ships slugcats gives them the ability to speak (or at least communicate their thoughts to others in some way) too.

There are many ships that are objectively weird (age gap and sibling ships being the most obvious here), and those are generally getting removed by mods and such, but two unrelated adult slugcats from the main game are actually completely fine.

I know how punishing the internet can be when you post stuff that others don't agree with, but I would generally advise you to at least give the opinions of others some validity, even if you yourself are struggling to see it. It's something I try to do to prevent others from getting pissed at me, even outside the internet.

Hope I was at least somewhat helpful with this.

sleep deprivation and old arguments have lead up to this moment. fuckin hell.

Slugcat Shipping Rules

slugcats in rw are more slug than cat.

theyre only ever referred to as slugs ingame

as far as i remember, slugs (real world animal) have both sexes so they physically and culturally cant be homosexual.

so, anyways slugcats are wild fucking animals. the standard ingame ones.

so rather dont ship em.

and also LITERALLY IF YOU DO YOURE CAUSING TEMPORAL PARADOX.

but take for example @pansear-doodles' slugcat designs (the ones with clothes and stuff). they obviously have human level intellect and are freed from the concept of the sacred sacred canon timeline so feel free to ship slugcats designs wich arent WILD BLOODY ANIMALS.

What’s your favorite song?

that's a very hard question!! I love so much music I wouldn't know how to pick one favorite. So I won't! I'll just give several that come to me right now, hope that's okay :3

Bright Blue Sky - TWRP One of the most uplifting songs by one of the most uplifting bands I fuckin LOVE TWRP they're easily one of my favorite musicians, they do everything in costumes and there's Fun Lore and also their music Fucking Slaps which is a nice bonus

Perfect Water - Blue Öyster Cult BÖC has such a mystical but intense quality to their music and it RULES it's perfect for imagining music videos of OCs n shit yall know the kind

Into Free - B'z B'z has tons of great songs but this is the best one BY FAR like it goes THE HARDEST. It was used as the title music in the original version of Dragon's Dogma and it's A Fucking Crime that they removed it like WHY would you??? Luckily there's mods.

The Rain Formerly Known As Purple - Chris Christodoulou I already talked about my love for this song extensively while streaming Risk of Rain 2 (which is the game this song is from) but GOD this song is transient. Unmatched.... Takes me places..........

Rebel Rebel - David Bowie OBVIOUSLY I love this song, it plays every day at 9pm, on-stream, when I take my E! It's my trans awakening song after all! It includes the lyrics "Your mom's not sure if you're a boy or a girl" which hit really hard and stuck with me for unknown reasons while I was still an egg hehe :> (it also includes the line "Hot tramp, I love you so" which I love for vague gender-goal reasons)

Hope this was good and gave a fun insight into my music taste, thank you for the question!

[elfyourmother]

anyway all of that bad history in universe and ooc is why I’m constantly saying that DA never deserved Gisele (or me) and why I’m having more fun than I’ve had in years with xiv.

it floors me how in a game that doesn’t have textual romances, Gisele is valued and loved more in canon than she ever was in DA. Aymeric and Haurchefant showed more love and care for Gisele in canon despite their romantic feelings for her only ever being left as subtext than her actual love interests did in non-modded romances in Origins, where I had to change her LI’s personality to get him to stay with her, and even then the best she could hope for was to be his secret mistress or partner in martyring for the world.

I also don’t have to rewrite anything just so she gets even basic respect in xiv. Sure, I changed a couple of decisions made with my favorite characters, but I don’t feel like I have to fight uphill backwards against the devs to tell a story. I don’t have to watch her be called racial slurs every 5 minutes. Y’shtola isn’t taking her aside to castigate her for being a tramp. (thanks, Wynne.)

And coming off da3 where the Warden was treated alternately like an afterthought and a forgotten plot tumor (the “crowning” scene with a Lavellan is deeply deeply insulting to anyone with an Elven Warden, doubly so one who romanced Leliana), i don’t think I can adequately explain how it made me feel to play through Shadowbringers and see the love and respect that people had for Gisele be a literal plot point, really the crux on which everything hinged. the idea that in the bad future, it was people’s stories of her that kept them going? mind blowing. even healing.

Edmont telling his sons to shut up and treat her with respect in the literal first conversation with him, and ages later visiting her when she was injured for no other reason than he wanted to keep her company is a long way from “knife ear wench” is what I’m saying

“You can’t be a Mod and a Rocker. You have to chose sides“. Noel Gallagher

                                                                      ♠️♥️♣️♦️

I am now the happy owner of one the key pieces of the Spring/Summer 2017 show: the patch denim jacket.

Heavily covered in patches drawing their inspiration from football crews (one might even push as far as hooligan ‘firms’), ‘Mod’ culture (“The What?” for “The Who”), pre-revival skin/suedeheads, boxing clubs, hard rock, military insignia, and all this with a lot of Caten worshipping imagery for good measure. Below are all the angles, on the men’s and women’s version of the jacket.

Courtesy of IG: carlahinohosar

I might even have found a distant ancestor of the jacket in this photo of a British bootboy in the 1970’s.

The style is definitely in the air, as you cam see on the below picture of (Canadian actually) singer Ryan Adams.

If you need further proof, a simple Google image search produces the below results.

When my friend Fernando – the friendliest person, yet the worse dresser I actually know personally – saw it and thought it was horrible, I was delighted, this being a very sure sign of being in the presence of a really cool item (Fernando was the subject of a past-post called “People who dress like **t” which you can view here Dressed like s**t).

My other friend Patrick, who is himself a solid dresser, albeit a non-D2 follower, agrees that it is an amazing piece, like a work of art, but also that it is so outrageously coloured and fanciful that it is hard to pull off. Hence, a few days on, while am delighted to own such a beautiful item, but I must concede this: I’ll probably never wear it.

Before I discuss the reasons why, let’s rewind back a bit and examine the concept of patches (also named badges, even though the latter is nowadays more commonly used for a pinned ornament) sewn on clothes.

Of course neutral patches were always used to cover up holes in threadbare clothes. The classic “tramp” look is often depicted with a number of patches on various parts of the frock and trousers.

Poulbot: le Moulin rouge/le clochard

As a decoration, or a sign carrying a message, the use is probably quite ancient, and we could consider the shell, symbol worn by of the pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostella, an early example.

Pilgrim on the camino de Santiago during the middle ages

Today, many uniforms in the military, the police, the fire department, park rangers and the likes feature patches indicating location and rank.

For civilians, the use might have its origin in hiking: in the early 20th century, in Europe, hikers would sew badges of the resort towns they had visited on their jackets and bagpacks. The same trend could be observed in the US with the development of national parks.

In between these two latter categories are the scouts. Hikers in uniform, the movement founded in 1907 in Britain, developed a culture of sewing award patches onto their campfire blankets. Note the strong resemblance with D2 items from the current collection.

Scout campfire blanket

Sport (which in a way is humans’ way of turning warfare into a game) also uses patches as emblems for teams.

Fashion (in the loose sense) which tends to appropriate a lot of elements originally specific to particular professions, ethnic groups, activities…would eventually hop on the band wagon and adopt patches as an ornament.

Hippies adopted them in the mid-1960s, alongside flowers, ponchos and headbands.

Mods would also cover their green parkas with a multitude of signs like British flags and band names.

A young Pete Townsend (the Who)

Hard rock/heavy metal fans, (and to a lesser extent, punk rockers), would drown the denim or leather of their often sleeveless jackets with patches of their favourite bands. Gangs like the Hells Angels even have specific rituals for their members to acquire the right to wear certain “colours”.

The later wave of teddy boys, ska revivalists, politicised skins…also wore flags and emblems on their sleeves or chest.

The S/S17 Dsquared2 collection, drawing heavily from street influences, makes good use of the sewn-on patch: on the aforementioned denim jacket, but also on parkas, on jeans, on baseball caps, on sweatshirts, t-shirts, even on shoes and backpacks.

A few seasons ago, the “racing” collection already featured jackets and jeans with loads of patches. This was spring/summer 2008. I only started to be interested in the brand the following winter, when there were still some piece of the previous collection around. When I saw these patch jackets I was fascinated, and decided to make my own version of it. So I bought a slim fit Levi’s denim jacket, about a dozen patches in a military surplus, and I got Betty and Martha (my alteration centre ladies) to get cracking. As a result I ended up with a pretty cool item that people always complimented me on when worn on a night out (with the odd question  regarding the meaning of the symbols,  usually whether I was in the foreign legion or that kind of stuff [see annoyances further down]). I gradually removed most patches for it to take the aspects you can see on this picture.

And this very fact, removing patches down to a minimum, probably explains why I don’t see myself wearing my new acquisition:

First of all I have reached an age where you don’t get away with too much flamboyance. The back of the jacket is really emblem and colour overkill. Ok when you’re a teenage rebel. When you teach law in college, as I do, it might just be feeding students with the stuff to laugh behind your back.

And I also live in Ireland, which is arguably the least fashion oriented country in Western Europe (to get an idea, Dsquared2 is no longer sold anywhere on the island). Anything out of the ordinary and people look at you like you had two heads. Impossible to go out (in a “non denominational” place, i.e. non gay specific) with original clothes without constant comments, questions and people touching your sleeves, collar…What the fuck do they get out of doing that? A male fashionista’s nightmare. This jacket is just like asking for trouble.

And asking for trouble, quite literally (or to use an appropriate historical reference, “The troubles”): on the right sleeve there is a typical Mod inspired patch consisting in a Union Jack with the DSQS, the Q adorned with an arrow, in the same way as was the D of “MODS” or the O in “Who” in this particular urban tribe’s classic decorations.

Now, in most places, the British Flag bears no particular meaning when appearing on clothes; more or less in the same way as the American flag is often used without implying any political sympathies or support of certain US policies. However, in the Republic of Ireland, the British flag is still a controversial symbol. You can be sure that a drunken idiot will want to pick a fight accusing you of being the reincarnation of Maggie Thatcher or Oliver Cromwell, just because of a trendy jacket. My beautiful, probably unworn forever, “Jackeen jacket”*.

*Jackeen is the derogatory name – derived from the Jack in “Union Jack” – given by people from outside of Dublin to the inhabitants of the Capital of Ireland, for their historical and cultural association with the British empire.

So let’s admire some of the ones who had to guts to bring it out:
