imagine being a rando civilian ds9 resident trapped behind forcefields as the station slowly ratchets up to blow itself to pieces in civil defense and then you look up and see the local tailor powerwalking irritably towards ops while the lockdown parts for him like the red sea before moses. and he's presumably caught in a permanent eye roll over every ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS as he goes

No more a CC creator - lenghty post 💔

I don't think I'll ever be ready to talk about this haha 😅 but better sooner than later.

As you may have noticed, my passion for creating has slowly been dwindling.... I loved creating for TSR (The Sims Resource) and I'm very grateful I got the opportunity and a Featured Artist badge on there, but the sims has been very buggy lately and not enjoyable at all.

Besides slowly loosing my passion for the sims and creating, my mental health has also been declining (which I don't really like talking about, please don't worry about me I'm fine and taking care of myself 💗)

These things and a lot more I won't mention led me to loose my creativity and will to create and sadly I also lost my Featured Artist badge with that. I don't blame TSR for taking my badge, I have been really inactive this year but my heart goes out to all my fellow artists who've lost their badges for seemingly no reason at all 💔

At the moment I'm not sure if I'll ever return to creating/making cc again 😔

But I do want to end this on a positive note 😄 THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE who downloaded any of my things, who reblogged or liked my posts and thank you for all the lovely comments and for tagging me when you use my cc 💖

When I started creating I never even thought people would like my stuff this much, thank you all for being such a lovely community 😭 and special thanks to the amazing artists I got to met at TSR (Feyona, PinkyCustomWorld, Evi, Caroll, LVNDR, ArwenKaboom, Aurum, Puresim, NILYN, Pizazz, Shakeproductions, EvilQuinzel, Dissia to name a few, I'm so sorry if I forgot someone y'all (the artists) are all so lovely😭💗)

OK OK OK LET’S BREAK IT DOWN

There is so much just in this that I love entirely. 

Firstly that, like she mentions, Watanuki sees cooking as something SO important that he’ll go through all the effort of teaching her for no, uh, 'tangible' price. Including all the effort he’s already gone through over the past month. 

Because Watanuki sees it as something “vital” - like, the food itself sure, but mostly because teaching her how to cook is essentially teaching her how to grow her own personality and craft herself into someone that she actually likes. And he’ll do it because he genuinely cares, but also there is no tangible price that could ever really cover that. 

And that branches into the Yuuko of it all. I think this might be the first time we see Watanuki with his own customer and setting his own Mystical Price that will balance out all the effort he puts into it. And like, I’m not sure that Watanuki has the same restrictions that Yuuko had when it comes to her store - I’m sure we’ll see later, and I’m sure we’ll see if that was externally or internally imposed. If there was any outside consequence that helped dictate the threat of an imbalanced price or if it was entirely just Yuuko herself knowing how the universe works and working so hard to make sure it all worked out ok. If it’s that last one, then we can assume that Watanuki has inherited some of that concern from her and knows how to work out a price that has the same effect. 

And so Watanuki sets the price of the terrible tasting Omusubi. WHICH is loaded with emotional weight - because even though it's monetarily worthless, it’s the price of someone KNOWING exactly what kind of person she is, which was her greatest fear. And so, the price of fixing that fear is facing that fear - whic means that Watanuki tasting the Omusubi and knowing more about her is the direct step towards a future where that is no longer her fear. It’s the process she needs to take to grow a personality that she herself likes. 

It’s both a practical and spiritual price that already matches both ends of the deal. Asking for money on top of that would actually be too much. 

In which my only concluding thought is where does Watanuki gets the money for ingredients in the first place? But shh.

MAJOR update

So I don't know if anyone else even cares about this stuff, but I made some huge progress with tagging/retagging things here. For some time I haven't been tagging any posts at all lacking motivation because, seriously, does anyone even look at tags these days?

Still, my love for this ship keeps me going. Maker, I'd forgotten how therapeutic the process is. For a few days I almost stopped dwelling on my own personal issues.

Anyway

Allow me to remind y'all that this blog has a list of TAGS, a rather extensive one. I shudder to think how much time I spent compiling it all, but it does make me happier somehow

We have an impressive collection of fanart, so many comic bits they had to be separated into their own category to make it possible to navigate through all the artwork, writings that I don't think can be found anywhere else. In the beginning this fandom also used to produce a lot of memes and jokes, not so much of it now, but we don't forget our history! There is so much to uncover and rediscover.

I guess that canoodling/hugging/cuddling/snuggling tags are still a mess (always have been) despite my best efforts, but I genuinely tried to make it make sense somewhat. Having 8000+ pieces of art for your ship gets you there. Hard to believe it used to be almost nonexisistent in the beginning. It was so easy to navigate in 2012...

I didn't even try to sort out the comics, and fiction is not tagged either, except for the most basic basics.

Well, if anyone has any better ideas/suggestions don't be shy about @ ing me. Hell, if you can think of any new tags worth adding, let me know. And if you could reply to the relevant posts with it, it'd be fantastic.

If you're bored and don't mind spending some time with Fenris and Hawke, observing them love each other, please take a look at the list. There are also separate pages for the people who make fanart and write stuff for us, so you can always find more of their works by looking up the artists name in the tags. Though this page is forever in progress.

There's always room for improvement, so if you have anything to say, PLEASE SAY IT.

Also, the pornstash is up again, and now there is some semblance of a system.

It is a members-only blog, since almost all of its content is flagged and can only be viewed by members. So you need to become one. Everyone is welcome to join, but please don't follow it. All you need to do is like this post. I'll see your username and send you an invite. After that you'll need to check your e-mail (NOT tumblr inbox!) and follow the link you'll find there. And please read the post i linked carefully, there's vital information in it.

I'm just really tired

I'd really like to sort this place out completely so that when I retire, and someone is willing to take it off my hands, I could be at peace.

Lyrical Miracles

What's the word? Several words. Maybe I've been a little down on outside sources in MTG as of late, but there are opportunities to use one's love for source material as inspiration. Inspiration leads to creativity, and with however many songs are out in the world, I hope there's a lot to be inspired by this week. I'm keeping the preamble short because honestly—I've never designed a card in the way I'm about to challenge y'all with. Whatever you come up with is going to be uniquely yours. That also means you're going to have to find a strong basis for your presentation! So—

Design a card that uses a song lyric of your choice in either its name or flavor text.

When submitting, please tell me what song it is! Part of this is curiosity, and part is just verification that we're quoting correctly. It'll be tempting to change the lyrics to fit grammar or context, but I want you to adhere to the exact words.

It doesn't matter where you get the lyric from as long as it's from a song that someone would be able to look up and listen to. If you yourself are a songwriter, that's a wonderful vocation; I'm also gonna ask that you use a song that you yourself did not write this week as an additional challenge. Honestly this is a really niche requirement unless Bob Dylan has a secret Magic-themed Tumblr or whatever.

Obviously, you don't have to use a whole line if it goes too far beyond the name bar or stretches the FT box. As long as it's long enough to be recognizable.

If it helps the world of the card, you can attribute the quote in flavor text to a Magic character and/or the subject in the card, etc.

Sometimes song titles are also in the lyrics, that's understandable. If you're going to choose a quote that includes the song title, I wanna stress: I don't want to see card names that are just song titles, 'cause that's a whole different contest that I think we've also done before and defeats the purpose of this being its own thing. Yknow?

Branch out! This one's not a requirement, but these cards don't have to be music-themed at all. I use the Prismari campus just 'cause that one happens to hit the inspirational theme. Let the lyrics guide you towards feeling, and put that feeling towards a card!

Most importantly: have fun <3 I think we've done this one before but it's been a long time and I don't...think it was me running it? Eh, either way, I'm a poet, so let's go nuts.

A winning card will be an impactful and/or transformative work that uses the flavor text in ways that elevate the emotions, situation and context of the work at hand.

I'm looking to see cards that either lean heavily into the heart of a song lyric or skillfully subvert the lyric to emphasize a card's presentation.

Toddler presets update ♥

Hello everyone! A couple of updates - I managed to update all of my Toddler presets but currently I have no possibility to update my files on the TSR website due to their various technical issues. As soon as I am going to be able to do that - I'll let you know on my socials! Secondly I would like to kindly ask you to not DM me on TSR - I don't get any notifications from the website I have messages nor comments so highly recommend to DM me here, on IG or Twitter (or X however you wanna call it) if you have any questions (WCIF is still available on Tumblr as usual).

[eepy-samzie]

ok, so with this new app releasing in NB.. i've been thinking abt it and had a sort of scary thought

we know how og is slowly but surely declining?? no otaku camps, no exchange, less rewards in ur cards, cuz most of the goodies are in NB.. i actually think this new app might be a full collection of og om's story + event stories for those who completed them. basically finally giving them an excuse to shut down og completely.

what do you guys think the app might be? id be happy to be proven wrong tbh

Aha so she does seem to have the ability to taste a little like Doumeki!

She could tell that he was thinking of HER when he made it, which is quite a particular taste I imagine? Gentle and Familiar are quite good notes to carry as well, so it looks like Watanuki did a great job on the emotional side of the cooking scale and it led her to actually following his advice. 

WHICH, it seems did not end well. 

Since it means she could tell what SHE was thinking of when she made hers. 

Which means we are about to get to the heart of the issue! >: D

OH NO IT LOOKS LIKE WE WERE RIGHT

Diagnosis correct!

Result: TRAGEDY

This is why I’m never invited to judge on cooking shows.

[dax-symbiont]

no but it is genuinely wild to me how many queer people in 2024 still stan harry potter. like i get the nostalgia yadda yadda yadda but there's not even a hint of doubt that a team was picked and it was not your own

Checking In

Welcome to the Hotel du Inventeurs, bienvenue, etc. How are you doing? What are you up to? Too bad, we're separated by time, distance, and this heavy oaken door. What do you mean, you can't find your keys? Don't worry about that. And you'll see the other guests, I'm sure. Everyone's so, so eager to meet you. They're just on the other side.

Also, we're looking to get a group together to draft Duskmourn later. Yeah, Stacey picked up a box, and the common room can sit eight, and the cafe's open until, like, eleven! Can you believe it? I really like the design of rooms, and man, Fabien really knocked me out with a cool Grixis Eerie control deck the other day. Anyway. Normal hotel, normal rooms, normal contest framing device. I think you know where this is going.

DESIGN A ROOM.

Wowzers. Who could've seen that coming?

Anyway, Rooms are a new enchantment type from Duskmourn, in case you've been living under a rock for the last month and a half. HERE is a link to all the printed rooms. A couple of them are from the draftable set and a couple are from the Commander sets; per usual, you're designing for Standard.

Keep in mind the specific wording of rooms. Some of them will trigger upon unlock, and some have static abilities. Also, as far as I know, MSE doesn't have rooms yet. That's kind of an issue—but for now, we have some placeholders and you can cut/paste/overwrite them around for various room shenanigans!

This one is gonna be a bit easier to do on desktop, honestly, but if you're working with an online client, I recommend using one with split cards and just not filling out the other stuff.

Don't worry about reminder text, but don't forget proper room wording too! They care about unlocking, not entering. You can have static abilities and whatnot, but of course balance is key.

And also: I'm curious about what horror rooms people might be interested in making that weren't featured in Duskmourn, of course, but what about rooms on other planes? I'm even more curious about that. As usual, though, this one isn't a strict requirement. I highly recommend running your cards be someone who might not be as familiar or invested with your wilder ideas for more specific feedback.

There we have it. Do disturb! @abelzumi
