update <3
#in case anyone remembers the saga about the guy i’d been talking to for like a week then made out with then he promptly ghosted me despite#having given one of those ‘even if it doesnt work out i still want to be friends’ claims and all my additional choosing insanity over it#well. finally got one of my friends to go to the restaurant he works at with me#also keep in mind that that stuff happened in like november we literally havent spoken in months i am just choosing to continue being#insane bc i think i deserve to#anyway. so my friend and i go to the restaurant and unfortunately he isnt there#but before we leave i ask the waitress hey um do you happen to have a coworker named [redacted]#and she was like oh yeah is he a friend of yours? :) and my friend says no. and i say …. i know him#waitress can tell that i dont mean i know him in a good way too. she laughs and says it seems like theres a story here but she doesnt ask#anything further. instead she proceeds to tell me his fucking work schedule ajdjsjjfkf#she was like yeah he worked this morning he usually works thursday mornings then all weekend :)#so shes my new hero#idk if this guy has also gotten himself on bad terms with her or if she just knows what hes like or if she just understood the implication#of an irritated girl coming in asking after a guy bc she ‘knows him’#but she rly understood the assignment. anyway im in love with her now <3#OMG i almost forgot the best part. after telling me this she asks do you want me to give him a message and i saw yes i sure would. tell him#sam said hi :)#anyway i will be dragging my friend back there with me at the end of the month on a weekend to continue antagonizing this specific asshole#sam speaks

#SO funny thing#last year around this time i signed up for classes to catch up with my education#and i signed up for a very basic class because i assumed that degree is needed as a requirement to take higher education classes#as therapists and people at the job center continuously let me know wherever i went#well turns OUT they were wrong#i could've just signed up for the higher degree one that i was working towards when i was younger nbd and i could have spent#the past 6 months on studying THAT#anyway today i called the college and asked if i can sign up for the next one and they told me i theoretically could but it'll start#in NOVEMBER 2024 and that's ages away#but they have ongoing classes rn and maybe i can switch to just attending those#which sounds fine up until my mental health and the fact that i'm doing this with the help of therapists and counsellors come into the#equation#see those classes are from mon-fri#and my current ones only twice a week which we all agreed on was the most i can do at the moment without sliding into another#burnout type of situation#SO the tl;dr of this is i could attend the higher education classes nbd but they are likely to stomp my mental health entirely back into#the ground and i am very likely not gonna be able to finish them if they do which means i would end up with no degree at all considering#i would have to sacrifice the classes that i'm currently attending for the other ones#so the reality here is that i will have to finish this degree so i can focus on getting healthier between this year and the next in order#to have the strength to attend the next one and it's very frustrating to know that's standing in the way of attaining a higher education is#my mental health. like. i wanna go back to being able to work and socialise without this thing gnawing at the back of my mind#i guess i'm getting there but it's not happening fast enough for me

The heating for both mine and my neighbours apartment are controlled by the same meter, because we are the only two apartments on the same floor. The other two apartments have their own floor.
The things is that his apartment is twice as big as mine, and hella drafty. So, he has the heat higher than I would like, and even needs to use space heaters to get through the winter, while I'm over here in shorts and a t-shirt with windows open while its 0 degrees out just to keep comfortable.
But, I'm in the much better situation, and it would be cruel to turn the heat down when he's in the cold drafty apartment. It's just very funny to have windows wide open in late November.

I had a moment of weakness and now regret it terribly because it has turned into just A Moment which means if I don’t get out of my head right now I will be miserable for the rest of the evening
#I was overcome with the sudden urge to paint#mind you I have not picked up a paintbrush since June#and before that since November#and so. of course. was very quickly and very rudely reminded that I am Not A Painter#the thing is… it was going fine until the paint became involved#I just… no matter how many classes I’ve taken in my life I never know how to handle paints#or colouring pencils. or markers. or anything#it’s like the second colour comes into the picture#it gets ruined#.. I don’t know. maybe I’m just shoving square pegs into round holes#I get insanely inspired when looking at paintings and I want to be able to do that too#but time and time again it has been proven that I’m not meant to be a painter#I don’t even know why I’m still clinging to drawing in general. considering I’ve hit a plateau and haven’t taken any steps towards improving#but maybe it is best to continue to stick to my mediocre digital art. traditional is clearly not for me#can you believe I once genuinely thought I was gonna go to art school?#i don’t know how I ever managed to convince myself of that. I’m useless at art#my area of expertise is pretty girls from the waist up facing a little to the side#I can do that. I’m good at that#anything else? out of luck#and yet I don’t work on branching out or trying to improve at all. I just sit here and whine#over and over again. day in and day out. I come on here and complain#and do nothing to fix what I’m complaining about. I’m doing it right now#how does anyone put up with me? I’m insufferable#I make myself sick

Mark your calendars! DoubleHearted-vember is coming!!
Tumblr media
To celebrate the 2 year anniversary of Double-Hearted (DDVAU) on November 4th, a group of us fans have put together a drawing/writing prompt list for the whole month of November!
What is Double-Hearted (DDVAU)?
Double-Hearted is a comic created by Doody (@kitsuneisi) and Maruu (@xmaruu11) based off of Hermitcraft and the Life Series. It follows the adventures and misadventures of Scar and Grian as they navigate their double lives—one as the beloved celebrity hero Hotguy, the other as popular vigilante Cuteguy, both unaware they're coworkers at the same university.
Where can I read it?
Here’s a link to the masterpost!
Who are the awesome people who made this list?
That would be @rebelrenee36 (me!!), @liloinkoink, @kowore, @deedolldrawz, and @anpanbun
Can I start working on it now?
Of course! We wanted to give plenty of time so people can start preparing now to help avoid burnout. Feel free to participate as much or as little as you’d like as well. Late uploads are also a-okay!
What if I'm not an artist?
We tried our best to make most of the prompts writer-friendly as well with the exceptions of Day 22 and Day 30, but feel free to use those as two more free days instead!
What's up with the bonus Day?
At the request of Maruu themself, we've added a bonus day at the very beginning for the first completed arc of Double-Hearted! Since the Mother Spore arc takes place on October 31st, it’s only fitting.
What if I have more questions?
Feel free to send me an ask and I can answer any questions, offer suggestions, or link any other resources!

This is the third part of the Estate Set. This time, it's a mix of items. You will get items for the garden, and I finished a few objects for the interior, too.
You will get:
Garden Furniture, including an armchair, loveseat, lounger and a parasol
Wrought Iron Gate and Fence
Hydrangea Bush and Potted Hydrangea
Cone-shaped Topiary and Potted Version
Different Hedge Pieces
Potted Citrus Tree
Timber Panelling
Plaster Walls with Trim
Adam Style Wall with Decals for extra Decoration
Curtains for all three Wall Heights
Several people have contacted me because the wallpapers haven't been showing correctly in their games since the DirectX 11 update. This update is in beta; I think the mistake might be on the EA's end, and I believe this will be fixed once DirectX 11 is appropriately released. If you are playing on DirectX 11, there is a fix. You can Download the latest version of Sims4Studio and run a Batchfix. Go to Content Management -> Batch Fixes -> Misc -> Update images for DX11. That should do the job and fix your wallpapers.
This is the final Part of the Estate Set for now. I enjoyed working on this subject and will likely continue this Set in the Future. Don't worry if you liked this content. I shall stay in the same world for the coming months, but it will be Cottagy instead of estate. I enjoyed making the Plants and Vines in the Estate Set, and I think a Cottage Garden would be an excellent continuation from there :)
This Set is on Early Access and will be available for everyone in November :) And you will find it here
Thanks again for your support and lovely comments; I appreciate them!
Lots of Love,
Felix xxx

No Nut November
Lando Norris x Reader
Summary: Lando made a bet with his friends to give No Nut November a try but, as his girlfriend, you have other plans
Warnings: 18+ content and Lando shaving his head
Tumblr media
You can’t believe Lando is actually going through with this. When he first told you about his silly bet with the other Quadrant guys to see who can go the longest without “nutting” in November, you thought he was joking.
But no, he insists he has to see it through now.
You roll your eyes in exasperation, “Babe, this is ridiculous. You know I have needs too.”
Lando just laughs and pulls you into a hug. “It’s just a month, love. We’ll be fine.”
“A whole month though? I’ll explode!” You whine dramatically.
He kisses your forehead. “You can manage, I believe in you.”
The first week actually goes smoothly enough. You figure you can handle this if you really try. Maybe it will even be good for your relationship, taking a break from the physical stuff for a bit.
But soon the desire starts creeping up on you more and more. Laying in bed one night, you roll over and start kissing Lando’s neck. He makes a small noise of protest and scoots away. “Come on, Y/N, you know we can’t.”
You huff in frustration. “But Lando, I need you.” Your hands start to wander under the sheets.
He catches your wrist gently. “Nuh uh, that’s against the rules.”
“Screw the rules!” You cry in exasperation.
Lando just shakes his head, clearly trying not to smile. “Stay strong, love. Only three more weeks to go.”
As the days pass, you get more and more worked up. Everything Lando does seems to turn you on now — the way he bites his lip in concentration, the flex of muscles when he lifts weights, even just the sound of his laugh.
One day after his workout, you’re waiting when he gets out of the shower, wearing his favorite lingerie set.
His eyes widen at the sight, but he steels himself. “That’s not going to work but I appreciate the effort,” he says with a cheeky grin.
You let out a dramatic wail. “Lando, please, I’m losing my mind here!”
He just keeps teasingly shaking his head as you continue your onslaught of pleading and temptation. You try every trick and tactic you can think of but he refuses to give in.
As November drags on, you’re utterly frustrated. At this point, it’s become a game and you’re determined not to lose. There’s no way Lando can hold out for the whole month when you look this damn good!
One evening, you decide to pull out all the stops. As Lando’s cooking dinner, you come up behind him, wrapping your arms around his waist. Standing on your tiptoes, you begin kissing his neck the way you know drives him crazy.
He tenses up immediately. “Y/N ...” he says warningly.
“Shhh ...” You whisper. “Just focus on cooking. I’ll stop if you really want me to.” Even as you say it, your hands drift lower, teasing along the waistband of his shorts.
Lando’s breath hitches but he keeps stirring the pasta valiantly. You continue with your ministrations, feathering kisses across his shoulders. When you nip his earlobe, he lets out a low groan.
“That’s it baby, you know you want this,” you purr. Your fingers dip below the elastic of his briefs to tease along his hip bones.
Lando curses under his breath, his resolve clearly weakening. You seize the opportunity to deepen the kisses, sucking at the sensitive spot on his neck. Your other hand trails up his chest, fingertips circling over his shirt.
“Y/N, please—” he gasps out. The pasta is now dangerously close to boiling over but neither of you care anymore.
Grinning in triumph, you spin Lando around and crash your lips to his in a searing kiss. He kisses you back feverishly, his hands coming up to cup your face as he walks you backward toward the bedroom.
***
Lando kicks the bedroom door shut behind you as his lips meet yours again hungrily. All thoughts of No Nut November are clearly out the window now.
Your hands fumble urgently with the hem of his shirt, breaking the kiss just long enough to tug it over his head. He returns the favor, peeling off your top and bra in one smooth motion.
Skin pressing against skin, you both groan at the contact you’ve been craving. Lando’s hands grip your hips, steering you toward the bed until the back of your legs hit the mattress. You let yourself fall backward, pulling him down on top of you.
Your lips find each other again as your hands explore eagerly. Lando kisses down your jaw to your neck, nipping and sucking in a way that makes you squirm against him.
“God I’ve missed this,” you breathe out as his fingers trail over your breast.
He hums in agreement, his touch lighting sparks across your skin. Your back arches off the bed as his mouth closes over your nipple.
Tangling your hands in his hair, you guide him lower, gasping when his lips reach the waistband of your leggings. He looks up at you questioningly and you nod eagerly.
In one smooth motion he tugs them off, followed swiftly by your underwear. You’re completely bare before him now and trembling in anticipation.
Lando’s eyes drink you in hungrily. “Fuck, you’re so beautiful,” he growls before diving in.
You cry out as his tongue finds your clit, gripping the sheets tightly. He works you expertly, ramping up the pressure until you are writhing and moaning. Your orgasm builds fast and hard, his name tumbling from your lips.
“Yes, yes Lando! Don’t stop!” You pant out. Your climax crashes over you powerfully, stars bursting behind your eyelids.
Lando works you through it gently before moving back up to kiss you deeply. You can taste yourself on his lips and it makes you impossibly more turned on.
Reaching for his belt, you make quick work of the rest of his clothes. Taking him in your hand, you stroke him firmly as he groans into your mouth.
“Need you ... now,” you gasp out urgently.
Lando lines himself up at your entrance, his eyes questioning. You nod eagerly and he pushes inside you slowly. You both moan long and low at the feeling of him filling you up.
He sets a steady rhythm, rocking into you deeply. You wrap your legs around his waist, pulling him impossibly deeper. The coil in your core starts building again right away.
“Faster, Lando, please,” you beg. He obliges, snapping his hips quicker. You drag your nails down his back making him shudder.
The sound of skin slapping on skin and your mingled moans fill the room. You can tell Lando is getting close by the way he tenses and swells inside you.
Reaching down between you, he circles your clit rapidly. “Come on baby, come with me,” you urge him on. Your words send him over the edge with a choked groan.
His release triggers your second powerful orgasm, your walls contracting around him.
You cling to each other, riding out the aftershocks together. Lando collapses on top of you, nuzzling into your neck. You stroke his hair gently, holding him close.
“Guess you lost the bet,” you tease after a moment.
He chuckles against your skin. “So worth it.”
You tilt his chin up to kiss him softly, filled with love and contentment. Who cares about some silly internet challenge anyway? You and Lando have all you need right here.
***
The next morning, you wake up tangled in Lando’s arms, smiling at the memories of last night. Stretching contentedly, you roll over to face him.
“Good morning,” you murmur, leaning in to kiss him.
He kisses you back softly. “Morning, love.”
You run your fingers through his curls. “I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated your hair more than I did last night,” you say with a grin.
Lando laughs but then his expression turns serious. “About that ... there’s something I should tell you about the bet.”
You raise your eyebrows. “Oh?”
“Part of the deal was that the first one to fail No Nut November has to shave their head,” he admits.
“What? No!” You gasp, clutching protectively at his hair. “You are not shaving these beautiful curls, I forbid it!”
He sighs. “I don’t want to but I made a deal. The lads will never let me hear the end of it if I don’t follow through.”
You pout dramatically. “Can’t you just lie and say you succeeded? They never need to know!”
Lando shakes his head. “They’d see right through me. I’m rubbish at lying.”
“But your hair ...” you whine sadly.
“It will grow back,” he assures you, though he doesn’t look happy about it either.
You bite your lip, thinking hard. “What if you just don’t tell them we had sex? Then as far as they know, you’re still in the running and you don’t have to shave your head! Don’t think of it as lying … think of it as omitting the truth.”
He considers this. “I guess that could work as long as they don’t find out somehow.”
“Exactly! Our secret is safe with me,” you swear solemnly. Crisis averted!
Later that day when Lando hops on stream with the Quadrant guys, you make yourself scarce to avoid any accidental slip-ups.
Lando greets his friends cheerfully. “Alright mates, how’s everyone holding up?”
“Still going strong,” Max Fewtrell reports. “You?”
“Yep, all good here,” Lando lies smoothly.
You listen from the other room, praying they don’t notice anything amiss. But a few minutes later, you hear Max exclaim “Lando, what’s that on your neck?”
Lando sounds flustered. “What? Nothing!”
“That’s definitely a hickey! He’s got hickies all over!” Max crows. “You broke, didn’t you Norris?”
You gasp, realizing in horror that you must have left marks last night.
Lando tries to deny it but eventually crumbles under their interrogation. “Alright fine, I gave in. But don’t tell Y/N that I told you!”
Raucous laughter ensues, followed by teasing demands that he shave his head immediately.
You rush in frantically. “No, stop! It was my fault, I seduced him!” You blurt out.
More laughter. “Wow mate, she’s really got you wrapped around her finger!”
Lando rubs his neck ruefully. “Yeah, couldn’t resist her even with the bet.” He winks at you.
You bite your lip guiltily. “I’m sorry I got you in trouble.”
He just smiles and pulls you into his lap. “I’d lose every bet in the world for you.”
Ignoring his cheering friends, he kisses you tenderly. You sigh happily, running your fingers through his curls one last time.
If this bet means sacrificing his lovely locks, you’re definitely making up for it tonight.
***
Despite your pleas and protests, Lando is determined to go through with the bet.
“I gave my word, love. Gotta shave it off,” he says, giving you an apologetic look.
You pout sadly. “I can’t believe I’m losing your beautiful curls because of my lack of self-control.”
He tilts your chin up to look at him. “Hey, no blaming yourself. I’m the idiot who made the bet in the first place.”
Lando retrieves his electric razor while you perch on the bathroom counter’s edge, watching mournfully. Taking a deep breath, he turns it on and brings it to his head.
You gasp as the first patch of hair falls away. “No, wait!” You cry, grabbing his wrist to stop him.
He raises his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”
Your lower lip quivers. “I can’t watch this. It’s too traumatic!”
Lando laughs and wraps you in a hug. “Oh darling, it’s just hair. It’ll grow back.”
You cling to him dramatically. “But I love your hair so much!” Running your hands through his soft curls one last time, you sigh. “At least let me help, so I can savor every last strand.”
He smiles and hands you the razor. With a heavy heart, you get to work shaving off his glorious locks. You go slowly, offering up little eulogies along the way.
“Goodbye right sideburn, you always looked so sharp.”
“Farewell beautiful crown curls, so bouncy and free!”
Lando tries not to laugh at your antics. “It’s not dying, love, it’s just hair.”
“Shush, let me mourn in peace,” you sniffle.
As the last section of hair falls away, you set down the razor with a forlorn sigh. Lando runs his hand over his newly bare head and checks himself in the mirror.
“Well, what do you think?” He asks.
You bite your lip, holding back a groan. He looks so ... bald.
Lando frowns at your expression. “That bad, huh?”
“No, no!” You assure him. “Just different. I’ll get used to it.” You manage a weak smile.
He grins and pulls you close. “Don’t worry, I’m still the same Lando underneath.” To demonstrate, he begins trailing kisses down your neck.
You shudder involuntarily. “But ... what will I hold onto now when you’re going down on me?” You ask with distress.
Lando barks out a laugh. “I’m sure we’ll figure something out,” he promises, nipping at your earlobe.
Despite your mood, you can’t help but melt under his touch. You supposed you could get used to your bald Lando, though you already miss tugging on those luscious curls.
Later that night, Lando makes good on his promise to prove he can still drive you wild, hair or no hair. And as you lay tangled up afterward, blissfully sated, you have to admit — he still has some serious skills.
Running your hand over his stubbly head, you grin mischievously. “Well done, Mr. Worldwide.”
He gives you a confused look. “What?”
“You know, like Pitbull!” You laugh. “The bald head reminds me of him. I’ll have to come up with more bald nicknames now.”
Lando groans playfully. “What have I gotten myself into?” But he’s smiling as he pulls you in for another deep kiss.

It’s the morning of the Las Vegas Grand Prix and you’re with Lando in the paddock for his pre-race interviews. He’s got a cap pulled down over his head but it’s not enough to stop the questions.
“Lando, you’re looking a bit different today,” the reporter remarks with a wry smile. “What’s with the new hairstyle?”
Lando tugs the cap lower, laughing awkwardly. “Oh you know, just felt like a change.”
“A pretty drastic change though, no? Don’t think we’ve ever seen you with a shaved head before.” The reporter presses further.
“Ah, well ...” Lando trails off, glancing at you sheepishly. You give him an encouraging nod, feeling your cheeks heat up.
“Let’s just say I lost a bet and leave it at that,” Lando finally mutters.
The reporter looks like he wants to inquire further but Lando steers the conversation to the race ahead. You let out a relieved breath, glad the subject seems to have been dropped.
But after the interview, a boisterous voice rings out behind you. “Oi, Lando! Heard you lost No Nut November!”
You and Lando whirl around to see Daniel Ricciardo sauntering over, his eyes glinting with mirth.
Lando groans. “Who told you that?”
“A little birdie named Max Verstappen who heard from Alex who heard from George,” Daniel chuckles. “So come on, give us the details! Was it the work of this lovely lady here?” He winks at you exaggeratedly.
You know your face must be scarlet now. Lando just stammers helplessly, which makes Daniel laugh harder.
“No need to be shy! Happens to all of us.” He leans in conspiratorially. “Though gotta say mate, I’m impressed you even made it close to halfway. If I had a girl like that waiting at home? Wouldn’t last a week!”
“Daniel!” Lando blurts out but he’s fighting back laughter now too. You bury your face in Lando’s shoulder, torn between embarrassment and amusement.
“In fact ...” Daniel taps his chin thoughtfully. “Reckon you deserve a prize for making it through 14 days. Most blokes wouldn’t make it past five! Here ...”
He reaches up and plops his AlphaTauri cap onto Lando’s head. “A trophy for your noble efforts!”
Lando swats him away, snickering. “Piss off, mate.”
“Just spreading the love!” Daniel calls over his shoulder as he saunters off. “And remember — November is for nutting, not for nothing!”
Lando shakes his head, still chuckling. “Unbelievable. Remind me why I’m friends with him again?”
You finally lift your flushed face from his shoulder. “Because he’s ridiculous in the best way and makes everything fun?” You offer with a giggle.
“Too right, love.” Lando smiles and pulls you into a quick kiss. “Now wish me luck today, yeah? I’m off to claim my real trophy!”
You smoothe down his new AlphaTauri cap and kiss him again for extra luck. Even through your lingering embarrassment, Daniel’s antics have lifted the mood. And Lando does look pretty darn cute in that cap. Time to go get that podium!

By some miracle, Lando takes the chequered flag in Vegas, earning his first ever Formula 1 race win.
The team is ecstatic, mobbing him in the pits and spraying champagne everywhere. You’re jumping up and down, screaming yourself hoarse.
As he pulls into parc fermé, Lando yanks off his helmet and balaclava, his shiny bald head gleaming with sweat. Fisting the air triumphantly, he looks like the happiest man alive.
The podium ceremony and interviews pass in a blur of joyful chaos. Lando can’t stop beaming, gazing at the trophy in his hands like he can’t believe it’s real.
Finally you get him alone in his driver’s room, immediately jumping into his arms and kissing him fiercely. “You did it!” You shout gleefully.
Lando laughs, spinning you around. “I actually did it! This is the best day ever!”
You cup his face in your hands. “I’m so proud of you.” Kissing him again, you murmur, “Now it’s time for us to celebrate properly.”
A grin spreads across Lando’s face. “Oh yeah? What did you have in mind?”
In response, you lead him toward the couch, peeling off his race suit and fireproofs along the way. You push him down on the leather, straddling his waist and capturing his lips hungrily.
Lando responds eagerly, his hands roaming your body. As you move together, his touches feel extra electrifying in the wake of his triumph.
Afterward, you lay wrapped in each other’s arms, basking in the afterglow. Lando presses soft kisses to your hair. “You were right, this is the perfect way to celebrate.”
You laugh, snuggling closer. “Mmhmm, I’m full of good ideas.”
He runs a hand over his head contemplatively. “You know, I think this new aerodynamic look might actually be my good luck charm. Maybe I should keep it?”
You bolt upright, glaring down at him in horror. “Don’t you dare! This is a temporary tragedy we must endure but the curls will return.”
Lando chuckles at your reaction. “Relax, love. I’m only joking.” He tugs you back down, nuzzling your neck. “Trust me, I miss my hair as much as you do. The second November ends, the curls are coming back.”
“Good,” you huff. “Bald is a very sexy look on some people but on you it’s just ... wrong.” You place a hand on his cheek. “I miss running my fingers through those soft locks. Your hair has always been one of my favorite things about you.”
Lando smiles up at you tenderly. “Don’t worry, I promise you’ll have your handsy little mitts full of my curls again before you know it.”
“I better,” you threaten playfully. “And you’ll look as dashing as ever.”
You kiss him again, conveying all the pride and affection overflowing from your heart. No matter what hairstyle he’s rocking, Lando is your champion. Though you can’t wait to see those luscious honey-brown curls again.
