Hey bestiee!! I LOVE your content and I feel so inspired by you (PLEASE when I say it's an HONOR to be followed by you... UGHQHWKH😭😭💗💗🌷)

I got a question though!!!

- What or Who inspired you, to be a content creator or even start a youtube channel about the sims 4?

Keep up the work girl you are amazinggg!⭐️🌷

hi pookie!!!! first thing THANK YOU SO MUCH! 💗

in terms of content creation, i've been online making digital art / 3d art / visuals for a long time! being a full time artist, sims was always something i just would do in my spare time, been playing since sims 2 lol

early last year i was met with some circumstances that completely stripped my urge to create anything and unfortunately put me into a depression.

one of the things i found myself doing to cope was playing my game more, and watching others play their games on youtube! (lolkhalia, ashley plays, xureila, largetaytertots are like crack to me!!!!)

the feeling that i personally got from watching let's plays is something that inspired me and gave me my spark back to start creating again.

i know how much watching them helped me during that hard time i was in, and i felt inspired to maybe be that for someone...now we're here!

i truly thank the sims community for being so welcoming and supportive, it's brought me into the most creative space i've ever been in 🥹

I have a feeling that MC, and Solomon would mess with the demons, and probably the angels too by saying "It's a human thing, you wouldn't understand" like a teenager that feels misunderstood lol.

Lucifer: So, you have something called "cute aggression" which is what makes you passive aggressive when cuddling with something you find cute?

MC: Yes. It's a human thing, you demons could never understand.

Lucifer: ..I'm gonna kill Solomon for making you like this.

Shana, your tags on this post ...I need to know more! What exactly was the plan for Supernatural season 3 if it hasn't been for the writer's strike??? And how haven't I heard about this already?? I need the deets!

i'm so glad you asked :)

the original plan for season 3 was for sam to descend into using his demon powers to get dean out of the deal, and for dean to never go to hell. then the writers strike happened, the season got cut from 22 eps to 16, with only 4 after the strike, and that wasn't enough time to establish sam's spiral and powers, so changed the ending. it's on the wiki and there are some articles around about it

this was, in my opinion, the worst fucking decision they could make

it ruined the characters in a lot of ways and really unbalanced everything in a way the show never recovered from

the thing is that this arc is so well set up!

literally at the end of season 2 we get

"You're my big brother, there's nothing I wouldn't do for you. And I don't care, I'm going to get you out of this. I'm going to save your ass for a change."

sam has evaded azazel's every attempt to corrupt him. his shitty home life, all the demons he's exposed sam to, killing jessica, taking away his father, putting him in a literal life or death hunger games scenario. each time sam refuses to play ball

(sam's incorruptibility is what makes him qualified to be king of hell, but that's a different post)

he's the moral compass between him and dean. always has been. there is nothing in sam's messed up, twisted life that has pushed him pass mercy

but dean could do it. there's nothing sam wouldn't do for his big brother

john told dean that he had to either save sam or kill him. except he's never needed to save sam, because it's literally always sam making the measured, compassionate, merciful call. he's the one holding dean back, not the other way around

and sam straining towards darkness for the first time, for dean, would kill him. we'll come back to this

mystery spot, as an episode, is actually pointless if the plan was for dean to go to hell. because sam's sneak peek into what his life is like after dean doesn't do anything. i love this ep, but it's narratively pointless now

however

with the og plan, mystery spot is the turning point. it not only tells sam how miserable he'll be after dean is gone, but it also establishes what he's willing to do to get him back - pretty much anything. it's not theoretical pain, it's not theoretical grief. mystery spot is the thing that pushes sam towards being hard, away from the moral sweetness he's embodied for the past two and half seasons.

the next ep, jus in bello, shows this. sam is considering doing the terrible thing. he's now capable of considering the terrible thing in a way he wasn't before mystery spot. this is when his descent starts, when sam decides he's willing to trade his humanity for his brother's life

and then the writer's strike happened

right when it's getting good, right when sam's arc is ramping up, we lose it. and instead of picking it back up, pushing dean's deal to next season and giving it the weight it deserves, they say fuck it, and send dean to hell

but this fucks it all up. we have sam's "descent" with ruby and demon blood. except not really because he's not even hurting anyone. and dean's back, but not because of sam. sam didn't save him

this fucks it all up

because deans anger and fear and desire to save sam should have been tempered with the knowledge that he did that to save dean's life. that once more someone dean loves has made a terrible sacrifice for him, which he can't stand, which he hates. he has the self esteem of a gnat and the best people he knows keep destroying themselves for his benefit

i think the og build up was sam strengthening his powers to kill lilith, doing it, and then releasing lucifer at the end of s3. sam unwittingly starting the apocolypse to save his brother (does he regret it, dean wonders. it would be easier if he did)

and now everything is shit and dean's drowning but here and his brother has turned himself into something that's not unlike the kid dean loves so much it almost killed him, but not exactly the same. and now he understands john, because this is the sam that dean has to either save or kill, except he could never kill him. he loves him (and how can he kill sam for doing this when it's dean's fault, when dean made the deal that doomed his brother when all he wanted was to save him)

this is the flip that the show has been building towards. dean having to be the moral center for his brother for once. dean being the one saved. dean finally having to face his father's words and deciding once and for all if he's john's son or sam's brother

but instead dean goes to hell. and he's no one moral's center. because he broke in hell, he tortured people and he enjoyed it. they ruined dean with this. because instead of fighting and growing from his violence, they push him into it, and then they call him a righteous man. dean was the one harming people, he's the one that descended into darkness, not sam. sam and his demon blood had still only been trying to good, and in the end did do good, far more than anything dean did in hell, or has done since. his moral outrage, his anger, his disgust towards sam isn't only wildly out of character, it's hypocritical as hell. sam remains the moral, compassionate one, even through this. it never slides to dean. neither of them are really forced to grow or change, only to become twisted into each other in ways that hurt them both

this should have been the story of what sam would do to save his brother (anything) and what dean would do to save his brother (anything)

they should have saved each other

The way Lovely Runner stayed winning right up until the end. God-tier OTP, and OST that was nothing but bangers, the best kpop boy band to never exist, and the most adorable heroine who will now be a forever fave with me. It even managed to do the impossible and made me fall in love with the most green flag hero by giving him the swagger of a kpop idol who is also the most embarrassing loser in love to exist. Throw in the most competent 2nd male lead who turns out to be the true hero and a finale that was nothing but fluff and it was pretty much perfect from start to finish.

Also, lmao at the fate the of the evil taxi guy. He gets hit by the kdrama White Truck of Doom, drowns, and the show proceeds to not give two shits about him ever again. Why spend another second on that guy when we can watch Im Sol and Sun Jae be stupid and in love with each other. What a flex!

Thanks, Lovely Runner! Here's hoping I'll be normal about Mondays from now on!

Reading loz/lu fics and it's just so interesting how wide the spectrum is of their personalities.

Sometimes it's got an in universe reason (different past (usually gender or species change), recent or ongoing traumatic events, a spectacularly bad first meeting), but sometimes (often) the characters are just... Weirdly angsty or peppy, there's no in between!

And I'm beginning to think less people have played more than one game than I thought XD.

Not that it's anyone's fault! One game is more than enough to be part of it all, and loz is exclusive to Nintendo consoles - and all the older stuff is frustratingly hard to get hold of. Heck, I'm still looking for wind waker, and that was really popular! And then you have to play it! They're not small games!!

But could people writing wild please ease off just a tiiiiiny bit so he can be a semi functional member of society pretty please XD? He's just as much a polite boy as any other member of the chain! He won't even run in shops! He can't attack npcs! He talks to every single person he's ever seen and remembers every single name. Yes, he's three quarters woodland creature with a hefty amount of trauma but he's also a fashionista who managed to avoid accidentally taking sides in a mayoral election and that's not easy!

My favourite thing is that Ghost definitely knew what "It's pishing it doon out here" meant and still pretended not to like ?? Okay Simon Rizzley

I’m so sad about the finale of The Umbrella Academy. I think it would’ve been so nice to see the Hargreeves siblings come together & finally, actually save the world, or even if it was just themselves and their families. Or maybe even if they returned to the original timeline in 2019 and almost get to start over. But no. Instead, the finale after 4 seasons of chaos and trying to save the world…. they just sacrifice themselves and cease to exist. 🫠

Let’s give props to the writers who teased us all episode 15 long for those beautiful 10 minutes at the end.

Like we all thought we’d get this right of the bat …

But first we got this

Then we got the glorious bed hair 😏

Then came the adorableness of Jang Shinyu waiting for his wifey with the biggest smile and flowers.

I mean this was literally one flower waiting to give another flower flowers ….

This math maths for me

We even got him humming happily too 🤌🏼🤌🏼

Then came all the glorious closet smut …

I mean this might be the scene of the series 👌🏼👌🏼

And if that weren’t enough we got sweet morning after cuddles

We were literally teased all episode for this right here

And. It. Did. Not. Disappoint.

But honestly it’s Eun wol that we should be thanking here

I mean … excuse me??? It’s a daughter.

A daughter. A conception dream.

And our man here did not even bat an eye. He straight up went, “okay, a daughter it is.”

And then …. Because the writers know how to mess with us what better way to end this episode then to have our girl being kidnapped 👌🏼👌🏼

Now who are the clowns? 🤡

Gifs by @liveasbutterflies and @mostlyfate 🥺🥺 thank you for your service to our fandom friends 👏🏼👏🏼🌻🌻

seeing homestuck analysis made my brain go brrr.

ykw im gonna say it....!!! the idea that matespritship is "the closest to human romance" is fundamentally misunderstood by a majority of the hs fandom! matespritship is "closest to human romance" [karkats words] in the sense that its closest to the human concept of *dating.* the concupiscent quadrants are provocation based, and more align with the ideas of "going out on dates and having sex / one night stands" with people, rather than longterm human romance.

the actual thing closest to "human romance" was the relationship between the signless and the disciple that "transcended all four quadrants"; if i had to pick a quadrant closest to "human marriage" or a longterm relationship, it would be ***moiraillegiance!!!***

moirails are conciliatory yes, but more than that they are *balanced equals, matched pairs.* theyre the closest quadrant to the traditional human soul mate. the one who perfectly completes you and keeps you on an even keel. the idea that moirails are platonic or qpr is just fundamentally wrong. *some* moirails can be qprs somewhat, but it literally is textually just a different form of romance, the same way that dating somebody vs being married to them for a decade are different forms of romance!!!

when youre married to someone for a long time, they often stop surprising you (not in the sense of "i bought you a gift!" but in the sense of the feelings that provokes. when youre first dating somebody, youd be surprised and pleased and a little awed that they went out their way for you. when youve been married a long time, youre still surprised and pleased, but its with this undercurrent of "hah, of course they would do this for me; they *love* me!"); moiraillegiance is the deepest quadrant and the most complex, which is why the presentation of moiraillegiance varies so wildly! look at depictions of matesprits, and youll see they all follow the same patterns of "shallowish romance between two people that have been dating for awhile"; moirails vary wildly!

the two extremes are definitely nepeta and equius vs folykl and kuprum. both pairs are equally balanced and a matched pair, its just that theyre on opposite ends of the "moirail spectrum" in what ways they provide for and ease their quadrantmates. the idea that matespritship is "human romance" is so wrong its laughable and thats why davekat is destined to fail if they dont deepen their relationship from matesprits to smeared moirails or human romance altogether IN THIS ESSAY I WILL

in a canon only reading; davekat COULD WORK and thats what drives me crazy. if they communicated better and changed their relationship it COULD WORK! but communication in romance is fundamentally incompatible w both of their characters! so i froth at the mouth

B-but..... what about Rick's pet name for Michonne?......

What does he call her?........

[holyjost]

there's this phenomenon i've seen talked about where a product is finally being created for a market that wasn't previously being served, and the first response to it being an expectation of moral perfection, especially when the market in question is marginalized in some way (as women are in general, but especially in the world of sports). the product is held to a higher standard than the counterpart that serves the non-marginalized because people are projecting a sense of morality onto the product that they don't with the counterpart because the counterpart is (wrongfully) seen as neutral or apolitical because it represents the non-marginalized.

i'm not by any means saying everyone should shut up and take what they can get, but the threats of specifically boycotting over things that wouldn't result in any comparable amount of pushback if they happened in the nhl (which can actually afford to withstand a boycott and where changes made by a boycott would have a much bigger impact) is worth examining to me. also i don’t know how productive it is toward making the world a better and more inclusive place. is an approach to punishing one single individual having a net positive benefit when the approach could also harm women's sports at large. sometimes it feels like people just want to have a strong reaction in the moment because it makes them feel like a good person
