#alvi is untouchable

[nerevar-quote-and-star]

My Nerevarine Alvivecia is a necromancer.

Her boyfriend, Oromis aka new Sheogorath was in the Cyrodiil Mages Guild, so he completed that quest line before going to the Shivering Isles.

Yeah, they kinda break up after she absconds to Akavir and he mantles a Daedric Prince, but wouldn't it be ever so much funnier if like, Oromis killed Mannimarco the lich, only for his ex-girlfriend, an immortal necromancer, to move on with Mannimarco the god?

Genuinely hate that monolith keeps trying to connect xb1 with its sequels (they did it with dlc in 2 and now this) like. Y’all really just keep stomping on the way 1 ended like you just want to keep making money. Alvis’ stupid core is obviously an afterthought y’all couldn’t even let definitive edition 1 remain untouched. And now he’s got this whole “ontos” thing and like Zanza was killed off in 1 but who cares let’s put him and Shulk in this unrelated narrative in 2 bc “hey remember this?”

And with Alvis in 3 like that is just a slap in the face. Alvis and Zanza and Shulk aren’t supposed to even be *alive* anymore aging Shulk up throws a huge wrench in the timeline of the games like. 2 was supposed to be as related to 1 as X was. These games were a fucking mistake imo they should have just left 1 (with it’s conclusive ending) alone and made something separate.

Jolina and Koffi

Today – in between working on my neglected flowerbeds – I relocated a few Sims. As some of you may know, Tedhi @franglishetchocolat​ made a trailer to replace that house in-between the Kennedy and the Alvi houses. And that is where I decided to move that little rag, Jaime Jolina. In real life, anyone who goes through med school – unless they have rich parents or tons of scholarships – will have HUUGE student loans to repay once the finally get out of school. There is no way, she could have afforded a semi-nice house in an upper middle-class neighborhood. She’d be lucky to afford a run-down car. Granted, EA made her a trauma surgeon, but I hate her, so I bumped her back down to an intern.

In my town history, Jaime is banging her way to the top. She tells everyone she’s as smart as she is beautiful, but in reality, she graduated from one of those island schools – and just barely, at that. Here in the States – in case you didn’t know – students who can’t get into a regular university school of medicine, opt to go down to the Caribbean and enroll in one of the schools down there. It’s a real thing, and has a bit of a stigma to it, since it means you couldn’t even get accepted into a state college – let alone one of the prestige colleges, like Harvard or Yale. It really makes it hard to get accepted by any of the major hospitals for your internship and residency programs. Plus, the other doctors – and staff – tend to look down on you. Anyway, that’s where Jaime got her education. So, telling everyone how smart she is, isn’t panning out for her. Nor is sleeping around. She’s currently having an affair with Thornton Wolff – he bought her a car – among others. She came on to Geoffrey Landgraab – not realizing he was an old flame of Morgana’s. (In my town history, he almost married her, but Thornton beat him to the punch, so he married Nancy instead. That’s what happens when you’re too shy to pop the question). Anyway, since he is the current Chief of Staff at the local hospital, he decides who gets promoted and who doesn’t. Sucks to be Jaime.

Anyway, I left the house pretty much as Tedhi designed it – although I did give Jaime a tiny desk and computer in her bedroom. 

As for the “lady” herself, other than using a different skin, hairstyle and make-up, I left her pretty much untouched. I got rid of some of her skankier outfits, but since I don’t want all “beautiful” Sims in my town, I really didn’t do much to her.

After I got done with her, I hopped over to the Koffi residence and grabbed him. EA alluded to his sexual preference, so I just helped him along, by bringing him out of the closet. He now has a fiancé and a new house.

This house was created by Kenzisims for her remake of SV. I plan on using variations of it along this road – with the idea that they were all built around the same time. Anyway, it’s pretty small, but it gets the job done, and I really hated the one that he was living in. I’ll probably use that lot for a bar.

Inside, I continued with the “green” theme for the furnishings.

And here are the two lovebirds themselves – along with their pets – enjoying a late night meal out on their back deck. The boyfriend is named Pierre Peacock, and he tells everyone that he is from Champs Les Sims. But he’s actually from Twinbrook. I gave him that hidden French trait so that he’d burst out into song, but his accent is atrocious. His bio reads: “It takes a ‘special’ kind of Sim to wear striped, bell-bottom pants, and Pierre is THAT Sim! Yes, he is! Bringing French haute couture to Sunset Valley is his latest goal. Pierre is fond of fish & chips, collecting bottle caps, and PEACOCKS!!!! (He has 3 out on his lawn, which you probably couldn’t see). So, get to know him! Get to know his pants!!!”

As you’ve probably already guessed, he is the new stylist in town.  God help the Sims of Sunset Valley.

From there, I hopped on over to Claire Ursine’s house and waited for her to pop out her rugrat. While she was waiting for the kid to arrive, she decided to go to the gym and practice her dance moves. This from a Sim who doesn’t want anyone to figure out that she’s preggers. Way to go, Claire. Claire will be moving after the brat is born, to another house Tedhi did. Claire is a third-rate crook, so having her living in a beachfront house never made any sense to me. Now, with another mouth to feed, she’s really struggling to make ends meet. Hence the move.

I’ll Try Anything Once: Chapter 23

Written by: Allegra, Sol Edited by: ss, Allegra

Alex knocked on the door of Paul and Bob’s flat, a folded reusable grocery bag under his arm. He heard rushed footsteps on the other side, then a click of the lock that brought him relief. His legs were starting to ache from skipping the stairs two steps at a time a bit too eagerly. The wooden door swung open to reveal a familiar face.

“Well look who’s back!” Paul grinned. “Came to get the cat?”

“Yeah!” Alex offered a smile before he shuffled in.

“How was your trip?” Paul asked as Alex made his way into the flat. Alex caught a glimpse of blonde hair dashing into the next room followed by a quiet “Steckrübe, Alex is here!”.

“It was great! We had an amazing time.” Alex grinned, nearly telling Paul about their first kiss, but deciding to keep it a secret for now. He was looking forward to telling them about the rest of their journey, though. He couldn’t believe he’d live to see the day where coming home to Greece would make him happy, but here he was.

“Yeh? Glad to hear it. Where’s Nick?” Paul asked as he looked around, as if he expected to see Nick appear from behind Alex.

“Ah...he didn’t feel like coming,” Alex said, averting his eyes and playing with his hair. It was true. Alex had attempted to wake Nick up several times, and each time he had been met with nothing more than a small grumbling sound and a shuffling of blankets. He thought this was odd - Nick loved Steckrübe so much, didn’t he want to see him again? - but he decided not to question it. Alex needed to pick up Steckrübe in the morning so he could make it to his first class later in the day, so he couldn’t wait around. He had decided to plant a kiss on Nick’s forehead instead before heading off. For now, he decided to leave all that behind. He continued waving his arms animatedly and directed the subject away from Nick. “I lived in Greece all my life, but for some reason this trip made that place so much more special!”

Bob walked back into the room, cradling Steckrübe in his arms. “Special?” he joined in.

“Yes!” Alex smiled broadly at the sight of them and also at Bob’s question. He walked over to Bob to rub Steckrübe’s belly. “It’s so good to see you,” he said to the cat, gingerly lifting Steckrübe up.

“Weren’t you there for a funeral though?” Paul inquired, voice tinged with confusion. Alex let out a laugh as he waved a free hand, his other still cradling the cat.

“Well, I didn’t personally know the guy so it doesn’t really affect me.” Alex sighed dreamily and snuggled Steckrübe closer to him, reminded of all the times spent with said cat’s owner the last few days. “Travelling with someone special really makes the whole trip worthwhile, though.”

The pierce that went through Bob’s heart hurt like no other. His throat felt tight and his eyes began to sting. He made a beeline for the pantry, head bent down, fists clenched. He forced himself to move about, preparing cups and taking out the tea bags. Anything to distract himself long enough so he wouldn’t crumble to the ground right then and there. Bob’s change of mood didn’t go unnoticed by his flatmate though, as the loud clunk when Bob set down the cup harder than necessary and the shaky breath he let out was an indication.

“Oh… That’s great! I’m glad you had a good time!” Paul answered for both him and Bob, throwing a worried glance in Bob’s direction and back to the thoughtless Alex. “We had a good time too! Steckrübe and Alvy got along great.” Paul tried to lift the mood for Bob. Even though Bob initially wasn’t too excited having to babysit Nick’s cat while he was on a trip with Alex, it hadn’t taken long for Bob to warm up to Steckrübe.

Bob seemed to calm down a bit, as he dared to throw a smile Alex’s way before continuing with the tea bags. Paul finally took his attention off of his roommate to help Alex put Steckrübe inside the reusable grocery bag. He held the bag open for Alex as he gently tried to fit the big cat in. Alex walked over to where Bob was, bringing the bag with him.

“I should get going...” Alex bid his farewell, feeling vaguely uncomfortable. Bob reached into the bag to scratch Steckrübe between the ears.

“You know he can come by whenever he’d like.” Bob solemnly said.

“What, on his own?”

“You know what I mean.” Bob rolled his eyes and gave a small smile.

“See you in class later then?” Alex slung the bag onto his shoulder.

“Yeah, see you then.” Bob replied, and as quick as he came Alex was already on his way again. Bob looked down to the untouched tea he had prepared for the three of them, but as their front door closed Bob picked up what was meant to be Alex’s mug and threw its contents into the sink.

--

Alex returned to the flat to find Nick still curled up in the blankets, staring at nothing in particular. He placed the grocery bag on the floor, letting Steckrübe hop out and hoping that he didn’t somehow forget Nick in the few days they were away.

“I have someone for you,” Alex said softly, scooping Steckrübe into his arms. He dropped him on the bed next to Nick.

Nick sat up as soon as he saw Steckrübe and quickly wrapped his arms around him. “Steck…”

“Are you going to class today?” Alex sat next to Nick on the bed.

Nick shrugged, knowing deep inside that there was no way he was leaving the flat. Something inside of him made him feel ill. He didn’t want to see anyone or go anywhere.

“Aw, maybe you should try,” Alex playfully bumped Nick with his shoulder, trying to bring Nick along into his own good mood. “I’m leaving in about an hour, anyway, so… maybe…”

Nick looked up at Alex and shrugged again, though he was actually considering his suggestion this time.

“Maybe you could bring the cat with you!” Alex held up the grocery bag he had used to bring Steckrübe over with.

Nick’s eyes lit up. If he couldn’t stay at home with the thing that made him happy, why didn’t he just bring said thing along with him? He held Steckrübe a bit tighter. “I’ll go.”

“How about lunch before class?” Alex peeled the blanket from Nick’s shoulders, helping him up to get ready.

After a nice lunch at a local deli, Alex dropped Nick and Steckrübe off at the front of the music school. “Have fun,” Alex smiled and patted Nick’s back reassuringly. Nick held Steckrübe’s bag on his shoulder as he walked hesitantly into class. He sat down towards the back of the class and was just arranging his belongings when a familiar tall boy sat next to him.

“Hi!” Julian greeted Nick. Nick felt his fear crawl into his heart again, but it was too late to run. Not when Julian had blocked the only way out, as Nick had sat himself at the corner of the room. Julian didn’t give him time to conjure up a reply as he leaned over and peeked into the grocery bag by Nick’s feet.“What’s in the bag?”

Nick hesitated at first, remembering their last encounter, but Julian didn’t even bring it up. Slowly but surely he pulled one of the bag handles to give Julian access to view Steckrübe licking his front paws.

“A cat!” Julian nearly shouted, eyes bright with excitement.

It wasn’t the response Nick had expected, but he was pleased nonetheless. Nick nodded at Julian, but then he immediately flopped the handle back over the bag as their professor walked by.

“You sure are a wild card, Nick,” Julian snaked an arm into the bag to pat Steckrübe. “I think we can be friends.”

Nick nodded silently and pulled his notebook out of his backpack. He finally spoke for the first time in class that day, voice slightly croaking from being silent for too long. “Maybe.”

--

Later that night in Bob and Paul’s joint flat, Bob was deep in thought over his plate of homemade spaghetti. He’d only scooped a few forkfuls of pasta before his mind presented him the events of the day. Alex picking up Steckrübe, and then basically admitting that Nick was somewhat special to him, Bob having to calm himself down in the bathroom before heading to class, and then having to bear with more of Alex talking about Nick thorough the entire class. He had carefully tried to keep himself together for the rest of the day but now that he was back to his flat he had to let it loose. His mind started whirring, eyes wandering aimlessly, hand absentmindedly twirling the fork. Yet, he made no advances to eat.

“...And that’s why I think fairies exist in Scotland.” Paul’s voice probed into Bob’s consciousness. Like someone had turned up the volume dial  all the way to the right.

“I-Yeah. Yeah.” Bob blinked a few times before replying to whatever Paul was talking about.

“So you agree?” Paul asked again, “That fairies exist in Scotland?”

“What?” Bob furrowed his brows.

Paul sighed. “I knew you weren’t listening.”

Bob turned scarlet at getting caught red handed. “Sorry, I didn’t mean-”

“That’s okay. Just tell me what’s up, though? I noticed you’ve been on edge since this morning.”

Bob was silent. Either his emotions were very apparent or Paul was quite the attentive man. He knew he had to answer, though he couldn’t think up an excuse because he wasn’t quite ready yet to openly admit he liked Alex.

“You’re jealous, aren’t you?” Paul’s words went straight into Bob’s heart. Had Paul somehow found out about his feelings? But then Paul spoke up again, “That your friend got to go to Greece-” Paul made a gesture with his hands, playing up the grandeur of the word, “-with his roommate and yet you’re just stuck here in boring old Glasgow?”

Bob’s figure slackened. As he let out a desperate sigh he nodded to confirm Paul’s guess. It wasn’t the entire truth, but it was good enough to sum up his feelings in a more general way.

“Y’know what, Bob?” Paul folded his arms, looking at Bob more seriously. “I think it’s about time we go on that date.”

Bob froze. “Th-the date?”

“Yeah, I mean, it’s a perfect time for it,” Paul leaned forward to Bob, a smile forming on his lips. “If Alex and Nick could have their fun so should we… and hey, the cat left the flat, so we should too!”

“Oh...Okay…” Bob nodded a little too enthusiastically. He had to admit he thought the date plans he made with Paul were for some day in the far future, but apparently Paul was just as eager as he was to do it. He smiled at what the implication might mean. “Wait, when should we?”

“What time are you off class tomorrow?”

“Oh. Uh, we’re done after lunch.” Bob answered carefully. He knew where this was going, he just wasn’t sure if he was ready for it.

“Alright, tomorrow after class is good?”

The insides of Bob’s palms started sweating, anxiety and excitement mixed into one. He knew the sudden plan would make him toss and turn all night in bed, but he also knew he didn’t have the willpower to ignore his feelings, so he gave Paul an assuring nod.

“I’m here- I’m here, now”

Meme: Accepting@theagentcider

When he’d been taken, he’d tried to yell and scream that he was no one. No one worth taking. He wasn’t the agency’s only chemist. He was an accessory. He had no real friends, no one that was going to miss him. Alvie knew he was going to be held and tortured for nothing, he wasn’t going to give them anything, no information they’d want would pass his lips. Like every other agent he’d been trained to withstand torturous interrogation. If there was one thing Alvin wasn’t, it was weak.

Most of the things that happened to him in that week made him wished he were dead, and honestly he was certain he would be. No one was coming for him. So they’d either kill him soon or leave him to waste away and die. The fifth day rolled around and they left him in that dark cell, untouched. This was it. This was the end.

Then some one is opening that cell again and he made his peace. They were coming to kill him. He couldn’t see who it was, but he was just making the most logical assumption. So when it was Cider that was picking him up, he was slightly confused, but.... thankful. The blond just limply leans into the other as he’s extracted.

[lucassvazquez]

yes, there are people on this website saying he was too young or on his teen years. As if a teen wouldn't know better than to wish the death of thousands of innocent people. There are many who defend Theo too but thats nothing new, people (including Atleti fans) always overlooked him being a shit person. Ugh! I am so frustrated we loose James and probably Alvi Morata and get these two...we may better in terms of football but dropped some serious points in terms of having decent human beings...

well I don’t think we’re better in terms of football either. Marcelo is simply untouchable so you know whom won’t get to replace him for a LONG time; we’ll probably end up loaning him for a season or 2 before he becomes a regular starter. And even if he stays, he’s not as good as Marcelo..not even close. There are prob better replacements out there. As for Ceballos, he’s talented yes, but he’s certainly not better than Kova..someone who’s been names Modric’s heir. We didn’t need him, we only singed him to prove we can still win some ridiculous competition with Barca. If any other team had been interested in him, we would’ve backed off. 

As for Alvarito, he is not leaving, over my dead body! (and latest reports say he’s staying)

Alexis Sanchez 🐶, Alvaro 💏, Gareth 🤕, Marcelo ☀️, and Toni (i couldn't think of an emoji for him :-( can you think of any?)

hahahah aww i love this omg and I’ve already done Toni here, but I think the best emoji for him is obviously 🥔🥔🥔🥔

okkkkk

Alexis: loooove Alexis as a player. he’s amazing. literally carries Arsenal on his back almost every game. He drops down and gets the ball himself, and then from there almost always does all the work himself. He’s got soooo much quality. And he’s one of those players that u feel like he’s everywhere in the match, popping up where he’s needed most for a link up, or pass, or whatever.Not to mention his physical strenght that allows him to get past the most demanding defenders untouched. Class. As a person he’s a sweetheart who loves his dogs so much.. what’s not to like??

Alvaro: hahaha love the emoji u picked for him btw, cute! I LOVE ALVI BDJHSJDJHD he’s such a little shit, he’s so funny and he’s a freaking kid but i would die for him. I’m so happy he’s back even tho it’s been forever and Ik he has to compete with Benz but i seriously hope he stays. He was made to play at Real. He’s such a strong striker, in every sense of the word. He’s strong in is numbers, consistent, reliable, always scoring goals and helping the team, he’s strong in his positioning and knowing where he needs to be and how to find his place in the box, and he’s strong in the physical sense of the word - i really like how he fends for himself, literally almost never giving up on the ball, fighting his way across to earn it, steal it or keep it, you don’t see much of that in football anymore. I love him :(

Gaz: kjashfjahjfsh PERFECT EMOJI BYE. and coincidentally the one and only thing that has kept him from becoming the player he was supposed to be. it’s fucking annoying, and altho it’s not his fault at one point you start to wonder if he’s really worth the hassle. His season consists of getting injured, recovering from injury, and just as he’s about to find his pace again, getting injured again. When the last part doesn’t come true and he actually manages to stay in form for a while he’s SO FUCKING GOOD. He’s.... wow. He’s so bloody fast it’s mesmerizing, he’s sooo strong and powerful. I love him. As a person he’s not my favorite cause I find he can be a bit fake at times, but other times i just adore him. He’s like Messi... the two players i can never and probably will never make my mind up about rip

Marcelo: NSJHSJHDJHSJHDJHSD MY EVERYTHING, I LOVE MARCY TO PIECES I WOULD DIE FOR HIM: DID YOU FUCKING SEE HIS PERFOMANCE TODAY????? 120 MINUTES OF PERFECTION. NEVER BACKED DOWN OR GAVE UP ONCE. WOW. I’m usually kinda mad at Marcelo’s slackness in defense, he misses his queue (or cue??? i never know) so often, and he’s misplaced more times than he should too.... But tbh........... he’s unmatchable in his quality of attack. He’s so good i can literally just turn a blind eye on his less good defensive skills. The man’s a fucking beast. King of dribbles. King of crosses. King of link ups with Cris. King of dynamic duoing with Cris. King of the left flank in general tbh. .... and God as a person................................ just............... what can I say. I don’t think there’s one person in the world with a ny sort of negative feeling towards Marcelo. He’s a bright ray of sunshine that you just want to hug all the time. He’s everything. He’s so genuinely loving and caring and beautiful. ANd his madridismo takes my breath away. Fucking legend. One of my all time faves

(just finishing up the opinion asks)
