Don't Starve characters: Sims 2 aspirations edition

(for the like 3 people who are into both games and anyone else I can drag along with my enthusiasm)

Wilson: Knowledge monotype; he exhibits the classic Knowledge Sim flaw of putting his curiosity above his self-preservation instinct. And his social life.

Knowledge Sim (fondly denigrating)

Willow: Fire is not an aspiration, unfortunately. I might pick Pleasure or Pleasure/Popularity instead? Pleasure is kind of the "screw around having fun with few long-term goals" aspiration.

Wolfgang: Popularity might be a good choice for his primary aspiration; I can't resist the urge to put Grilled Cheese as his secondary aspiration, although if it weren't for that, Popularity/Family would be a logical choice.

Wendy: Preteen, therefore Grow Up aspiration

WX-78: "World domination" doesn't fit very well into the aspiration system. Fortune is too materialistic, Popularity is too nice. (The Sims 2 GBA does have an "Intimidating" aspiration, and there's an unfinished, dummied-out "Power" aspiration in the main Sims 2 game that combines elements of Popularity and Fortune.) I suppose they could be an incredibly vindictive Popularity Sim if you reflavoured "friend" as "minion", since that aspiration already has a vindictive streak.

Wickerbottom: Knowledge monotype

Knowledge Sim (compliment)

Woodie: What DOES Woodie want out of life, besides trees? He doesn't want kids enough for Family aspiration, but Romance is about being a casanova, so his bond with Lucy isn't helpful here. He might be a friendly enough guy for the Popularity aspiration?

Wes: Popularity/Pleasure maybe, both to suit his artistic aspirations and because he likes both friendship and simple pleasures.

Maxwell: Probably Popularity/Fortune, although I could see a reversal of that; he's clearly not very good at being a Popularity Sim since the bread and butter of that aspiration is wanting to have lots of friends, but this could be explained by personality point distribution (he's on the former rather than the latter side of the Shy/Outgoing and Mean/Nice scales). He does fit the other foci of the Popularity aspiration with his desire to be famous and well-regarded, and his insistence on sticking with a performing arts career instead of taking a duller but more profitable job when he was having money problems.

I could make a case for Knowledge being his secondary aspiration instead given his history with delving into arcane secrets, but I don't think that takes precedence over his taste for the finer things in life.

Wagstaff: Knowledge/Fortune; scientific discovery is clearly important to him (and he has all the Knowledge Sim flaws Wilson does) but so is putting his discoveries to use, and even if it's just a means to fund his experiments he definitely cares about making money and can be unscrupulous about how he gets it, c.f. his line for Snake Oil.

Knowledge Sim (derogatory)

Winona: Family/Knowledge, possibly? Knowledge aspiration is the closest I can think of for her interest in machines and building things, although that conflicts with her disinterest in academics.

Wigfrid: Might be Popularity monotype since "Win a Fight" is a Popularity want.

Webber: Grow Up

Walani: Pleasure monotype, most likely. I could see Pleasure/Popularity with an outside chance of Pleasure/Family if you were keen to give her a secondary aspiration.

Warly: Family/Pleasure because the Pleasure aspiration has a lot of food-focused stuff in it (the only reason he's not Family monotype).

Woodlegs: Fortune/Pleasure, the most piratey aspiration combo

Wilbur: He would probably be modeled as a pet, which don't have aspirations.

Wilba: Pleasure monotype for now, as an adolescent; might pick up a secondary aspiration later.

Wormwood: Popularity monotype

Wheeler: Pleasure/Knowledge seems like the most adventurous aspiration combo

Wortox: I was 110% ready to say Pleasure monotype, but Popularity is the only aspiration with the Pull Prank want, so Pleasure/Popularity it is!

Wurt: Grow Up

Walter: Either Grow Up if he's still in the child age stage or Knowledge (no secondary aspiration *yet*, but he sure likes cryptids, a noted Knowledge Sim trait) if he's at the beginning of the teen age stage.

You may be noticing a lot of Popularity sims in this mix, but DST *is* a co-op game with like a PG rating, so I think it's just the power of friendship at work and not me being biased and/or using that aspiration as a catchall. Probably.

warnings: a bit smutty but nothing terribly explicit

John Shelby x OFC // Peaky Blinders // one-shot

word count: 1,656

You were awoken by the feeling of John’s fingers snaking their way under your night dress and along your thigh. Blindly you reached over your shoulder to slide your own hand along his cheek until you cupped the back of his head. Pulling him closer, you hummed as he began to nip along your shoulder while his touch came to rest at the apex between your thighs.

“John,” you moaned before rolling onto your back, eyes still shut. Shifting out a knee, you aided his access as his lips moved to trail along your jaw. Continuing to massage your folds through the cotton of you underwear, his mouth finally came to yours. He pulled on your bottom lip and climbed between your legs.

“Morning, luv,” he greeted as you opened your eyes. His voice was gravely from sleep, carrying a low timber that only ever occurred in the early morning which never failed to excite you. You couldn’t help but bite your lip and wiggle your hips against him before wrapping your arms around his neck.  

He leaned in to capture your mouth again when a shrill cry reverberated through the walls of the house. The pair of you let out a groan in unison at the sound of your daughter crying. John dropped his head, resting against the crook of your neck and let out a frustrated grumble.

“If we’re quick we could probably finish before the boys wake up,” you suggested with a nudge to his shoulder.

“No use,” John sighed, pushing himself off of you and rolling to climb out of bed. “I won’t be able to get it up with her wailing like that.”

The heals of your shoes clicked on the wooden floorboards as you walked through the main room of Shelby Company Limited towards John’s office. It was noon and you’d prepared him a small lunch and cup of tea.

Pushing the door open with a bump of your hip, you announced your presence before entering his small office. You kicked the door shut behind you, moving to set a sandwich wrapped in wax paper and a cup on his desk in front of him. “I brought you some food.”

“Not hungry,” John stated as he capped his pen and reclined in his chair, his gaze slowly traveling over your form while you circled his desk before stopping to rest against the polished mahogany surface once you were next to him.

“It’s ham and cheese, your favorite,” you pouted, pretending not to notice his palm creeping up your leg.

“I’d beg to differ,” he suggested with a smirk you knew all too well. “I can think of something else I’d much rather eat.” John rose from his seat, stepping closer to stand between your knees as he pulled the tooth pick from the corner of his mouth. On instinct, your hands drifted to his shoulders while he gathered your skirt in his fists.

“Oh really?” you teased with a coy smile, moving near enough that his nose brushed against yours.

“We never got to finish this morning,” he reminded you in a low voice that made you smile.

“Finish? We barely got started.” John couldn’t help but laugh at your response before swooping in with a kiss. Your tongues wrestled as he guided to you to lay back on his desk. His hands drifted to the waistband of your underwear when you heard the sound of the knob twisting.

“John, Tommy needs you to---,” Finn began as he opened the door before cutting himself off once he was in the office. He froze, the brass handle still in his grasp, unable to tear his eyes away from the sight before him.

“Well, spit it out!” John barked, obviously infuriated with his little brother’s intrusion though still bent over his desk. You tried to adjust yourself, lowering your legs into a position less provocative than wrapped around John’s hips.

“Tommy needs you to go check the cargo at the docks,” the youngest Shelby blurted out, adjusting his stance so he stared at the wall.

“Fuck,” John swore as he righted himself from ontop of you, adjusting his waistcoat before grabbing his jacket. “Oi, quit starin’,” he quipped, giving a smack to the back of Finn’s head when he noticed that the younger Shelby had returned to watching you fix your skirt. Grabbing his little brother’s shoulder, John led him out of the office, shutting the door to give you a moment alone.

It was a few hours later when you heard the door slam behind you but paid it no mind as you continued to scribble on the note pad. You were leaning over the long oak table in Polly’s kitchen trying to recall exactly what needed to be purchase at market this afternoon--that is if you’re not kept late and able to make it.

“I’ll never tire of this view,” John spoke from the doorway, eyeing your rear in the air. With a huff you twisted to look over your shoulder at him. Taking a single single step forward, he crossed the tile floor to stand directly behind you, bringing his fingers forwards to grip either side of your hips, slightly pressing his groin into your backside. Straightening up, you spun around to face him, slowly moving your palms across his chest then under the lapels of his jacket.

“Is that so?” you asked in a light tone before wrapping your fingers around his waistcoat and yanking him forward so his mouth crashed into yours. He was off balance for a second until he altered his grip, moving one of his hands to splay across the small of your back, pressing you against him as the other laid flat on the table behind you.

He moaned into your mouth as you dropped your arms, trailing your fingertips down his abdomen before undoing his belt buckle. With eager movements you pushed your hand past the waistband of his slacks and boxers, wrapping your fingers around his semi-erect length.

John grinned against your lips as you touched him, making him all the more eager to touch you. Just as he reached for the top button of your blouse, both of you heard his older brother’s voice ring through the house.

“Family meeting!” Tommy called as he opened the door to the kitchen, placing a cigarette between his lips as he entered. He kept his eyes down before he struck a match and spoke, “Alright, hands off John-boy’s cock, we’ve got business to discuss.”

Standing up, he shook out the match. John began to move away from ontop of you while you brought your hands back to yourself. Polly followed in next, entering the kitchen just as John was refastening his belt.

“Jesus, Mary and Joseph,” she hissed with a shake of her head. “You two are worse than a pair of bloody rabbits. It’s bad enough you gave poor Finn a peep show this mornin’,” she trailed off as John and you both mumbled an apology and stepped a little further apart.

After a slow evening at the Garrison the brothers decided to call it in early, each heading off to their respective beds for the night. John noticed the second he crossed the threshold of the front door, that something was amiss. There was an unfamiliar silence about the house. Being the home of four children under seven years old and one untrained dog who loved to terrorize the squirrels through the window, it never got this quite. Even in the dead of night there was still someone making a fuss.

“Oi,” he called, pulling his cap from his head as he studied the dark, empty space, trying to ignore the horrible possibilities that his anxiety suggested. “Anyone ‘ome?”

“Up here,” your voice replied from the second floor. John took the stairs two at a time as he raced to the bedroom you and he shared.

“What’s going on, ay?” he questioned as he swung the door open, freezing mid-step once he spotted you sitting on the bed in a favorite nightgown of his. You could see the worry melt from his face and his smirk returning as he composed himself.

“I got Pol to watch the kids for the night,” you explained, shifting so you were kneeling, beckoning him closer. “And Arthur agreed to take Wagstaff, so there’ll be none of his late night barking.”  Wrapping your fingers around his tie you pulled at the knot, loosening it before reaching up to undo the fastener to his Arrow shirt collar. The starched white fabric seemed to pop open just for you, revealing his throat. Grinning to yourself as his adam’s apple bobbed, you leaned forward and began to kiss along his jugular while you spoke, punctuating each world with a small peck, “Tonight it’s just us. You and me.”

Pulling back, you looked up to John, bitting your lip. Your face dropped when he pulled away and moved to the entrance of the room. “What are you doing?”

“Locking the fucking door,” he replied as he did just that, twisting the key under the knob so the irons inside audibly clicked shut.

You couldn’t help but roll your eyes, slumping back onto the mattress, “No one’s gunna bother us, I made sure.”

“That said, I ain’t taking any fucking chances.” John slammed the key on top of the dresser before spinning around and stalking back to the bed, quickly removing his jacket and waistcoat as he moved. He began to deftly unbutton his shirt, just enough that he could pull the oxford cloth over his head. You fought back your smile, enjoying seeing him make quick work of discarding his clothes when he growled, “That door will stay shut until you’re knocked up again.”

You knew he was teasing but you couldn't help let out an exasperated groan at the idea. “The last thing we need is another bloody child.”

tada! i hope you liked it! replys/comments and feed back are always welcome and dearly appricated, i love to know your thought!!

Method Man Cast In ‘Power’ Spinoff ‘Power Book II: Ghost’

Source: Starz / Starz

Power is dead, long live Power. While this may be Power‘s final season on Starz, more stories will be told in the forthcoming spinoff Power Book II: Ghost, which has already cast Method Man.

The Staten Island rapper is readily known as a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan, but over the years he has become quite an accomplished actor. Some of his notable credits include The Wire (Melvin ‘Cheese’ Wagstaff), The Deuce, The Last O.G. and, of course, How High with Redman.

In the new Starz Original series, Mr. Tical (born Clifford Smith) will be portraying Davis Maclean, who is described as a “sharp, highly motivated attorney.” While he continues to be described as “brilliant” he is also said to be “ethically challenged” which should make for some good television.

Method Man will be joining previously announced cast member Mary J. Blige on the series, and she will reportedly portray its main character. 50 Cent will serve as an Executive Producer of the new series as well.

There are only three episodes left of Power, with the final episodes so far being flashbacks of series characters. The question still is (spoilers forthcoming), who shot Ghost?

We trust we’ll also find out the premise of Power Book II: Ghost as Power comes to its conclusion.

Method Man’s last album was 2018’s Meth Lab Season 2: The Lithium. Most recently, it appears he will be appearing in a forthcoming Netflix series called Slutty Teenage Bounty Hunters.

Meth is definitely diversifying his bonds.

The Wire: 10 Storylines That Were Never Resolved | ScreenRant

Though it wasn't the most wildly watched show when it was on the air, The Wire has steadily risen in popularity to become one of the most acclaimed shows of all time. The HBO series explored the war on drugs within the streets of Baltimore and how it penetrated various aspects of the city.

RELATED: The Wire: Top 10 Characters, Ranked

The series was a realistic portrait of the modern crime world, and unlike most cop shows on television, it showed there was good and bad on both sides of the law. Though the series came to a satisfying end after five seasons, there were several questions left hanging. Here are 10 unresolved storylines from The Wire.

10 Daniels' Dark Past

Cedric Daniels was one of the more noble figures in the series. A veteran law enforcement officer, Daniels starts the series with ambitions to rise through the ranks but ultimately decides to put the Avon Barksdale case ahead of his own career ambitions.

As a way to convince Daniels to play ball, Burrell explains that he has a DEA file on Daniels that questions some unexplained income. Daniels seems to confirm that he did do something wrong, but it is never explained what his crimes were.

9 Brother Mouzone

One of the most fascinating characters on the show was a well-known figure from New York named Brother Mouzone. The calm and collected gentleman might not appear to be a threat, but his reputation is one that is feared by many.

RELATED: The Wire: Omar Little’s 10 Most Intimidating Quotes

Avon recruits Mouzone to help him rid Marlo Stanfield's crew from his territory. After being betrayed by Stringer Bell, Mouzone teams with Omar Little to take out Bell. Once he and Omar part ways, Brother Mouzone is never seen or heard from again.

8 The Greek

In Season 2, a new player in the drug world is introduced in the form of the mysterious "Greek". An apparent expert at keeping a low profile and avoiding police suspicion, The Greek operates as the supplier for several of Baltimore's biggest drug dealers.

By the end of Season 2, The Greek's operation has been found out and he leaves the country with his crew. However, we see in subsequent seasons that he is back working the same trade in Baltimore. We never discover how he managed to come back and remain anonymous.

7 Cheese And Randy

In one of the more random bits of trivia on the show, the creators revealed that Cheese Wagstaff and Randy Wagstaff are father and son. Cheese operates as a soldier for Proposition Joe, then Marlo. Randy is a young kid whose life is destroyed when rumors spread that he was snitching.

By the end of the series, Cheese is killed and Randy is living in a foster home, turned into an aggressive and violent young man. We never see the two speak to each other or even mention the other's existence.

6 Templeton's Lies

Season 5 of The Wire focuses on the fledgling newspaper industry in Baltimore. When news of a possible serial killer emerges, the paper's head people jump on the sensational story and assign young reporter Scott Templeton to cover various stories on the subject.

RELATED: The Wire: 15 Moments That Prove It's The Best TV Show Of All Time

It is later discovered that Templeton has fabricated most of his articles and is a fraud. Though his editor suspects the misdeeds and McNulty is aware he's phony, Templeton is later seen winning an award for his work. We never get to see if his lies eventually catch up with him.

5 Marlo's Path

Once Avon Barksdale is sent to prison, a new player moves in to take over. Marlo Stanfield is a cold and calculating man who is willing to drop as many bodies as he needs to in order to rule the Baltimore drug trade.

The final season sees McNulty and his team going after Marlo. While his empire falls, he is able to escape prosecution along with his wealth. The final episode finds him attempting to move into legitimate business but he also feels the need to return to his more dangerous life of crime. It's not clear which path he ultimately chooses.

4 Nicky Sobotka

Season 2 of the show focused on the troubled business at the Baltimore waterfront. The once-thriving port is struggling and Frank Sobotka, the man in charge of the docks, turns to drug trafficking to support his workers.

After Frank is killed by The Greek, his nephew Nicky decides to help out Daniels' investigation. He informs on the entire operation, forcing The Greek to leave his business behind. Nicky is placed in witness protection, but he is later seen on the docks not keeping a low profile at all. We never find out if he is still in witness protection or if he is now in danger.

3 Rawls' Secret

William Rawls is one of the most despicable characters on The Wire and he works for the police department. He is a racist and abusive man who only cares about bringing murder numbers down, regardless of how it is achieved.

Despite his often-homophobic comments, Rawls is briefly seen in a gay bar in one episode. No mention is made of this and the subject of his sexuality never comes up. Though it would be nice to explore more, it was a great twist for the character.

2 Avon's Empire

Avon Barksdale was once the king of Baltimore's drug trade before he was pushed out by the young and ambitious Marlo and ultimately arrested. Later on in the series, we see Marlo visit prison to connect with a drug supplier, but comes face-to-face with Avon, who is running things in prison.

It is not clear how Avon has remained so powerful even when out of the drug game, but he is not someone to let his position of power go easily. It would have been interesting to see what he is up to from behind bars.

1 McNulty's Next Move

Jimmy McNulty is possibly the main character of the series and one of its most complicated. Though a very good detective, other aspects of McNulty's life seem to be a complete disaster. He is a severe alcoholic who cheats on women and has a self-destructive personality.

Though he briefly cleaned himself up with a new girlfriend Beadie, he soon slid back to his old ways. After the scandal with his fake serial killer, McNulty is fired. Knowing what a mess his life can become when he is not a cop, it's left open whether he'll change his ways or continue his downward spiral.
