Black Dahlias, despite their name, aren't actually black but are more of a dark red or purple color! But historically, they are used to convey a warning of betrayal or sadness.

I use any and all pronouns and currently identify as “gender flux.” At least… it’s the closest definition to what I feel. I’m unlabeled with my sexuality, pretty much “i like who i like.” I go by solstice, dahlia, and kaz. Most of the time it’s dahlia or dahl, occasionally kaz since they’re my usual dr names.

I’ve been into reality shifting since 2022 and haven’t shifted to any of my drs yet. I like to post about my drs rather than the “science” behind shifting or methods. Most of my content is dr intros and other stuff like motivation, mood-boards, and information about them. Once I shift I’ll also post storytimes.

This is also a non judgement zone, meaning I don’t care if you’re an age regresser / age dreamer (cuz… I am too) or if you’re a therian.

Please don’t be afraid to socialize with me, it makes my day when someone interacts with me and I tend to return the favor.

I have diagnosed social anxiety and i’m working on getting diagnosed with depression. I also might have ADHD which I am currently doing research on. Sometimes I don’t reply because I get drained but I don’t appreciate it any less.

I love listening to music (who doesn’t?) and my fav artists are Ashnikko, Billie Eilish, Lana Del Ray, and Chappell Roan. I like more upbeat songs and every now and then some good depressing tunes.

A few of my favorite shows/movies are A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, and Enola Holmes. My favorite author is Margaret Owen, her books are so goodddd.

Stupid little headcanon.

Rhysand sends Nyx to the Illyrian camps to ‘toughen him up’. Nyx sees how unjustly they are treated and starts a revolution. He teams up with Tamlin’s daughter Dahlia who is in love with a Hewn City woman who is going to be sold in marriage.

Nyx secretly leads the Illyrian uprising, while Dahlia and her girlfriend Aisling lead the Hewn City uprising. They get all the other Heirs of the Courts on their sides, make deals with Hybern’s new Queen and Vallahan’s Court.

The Court of Dreamers won’t know what hit them.

A/N: This was inspired by @vioisgoinginsane mentioning how she couldn't stop thinking about Gilbert's voice. And then neither could I.

This is how I imagine Gilbert's voice (not the VA's 😆)

WC: ~500

Gilbert’s voice

It is light as air, a cool breeze that winds its way around your ears, has you closing your eyes and inhaling sharply without knowing why. It tugs on your foolish heart, forcing it to its knees, has it begging for…..something. Anything. Another sentence, another word, another silver laugh. It leaves you standing at the edge of a cliff, the dirt crumbling perilously under the toe of your shoe and yet you lean forward, desperate for more.

It is as dangerously soft as a glowing beam of razor-edged moonlight, parting the darkness of night like a sword through flesh and releasing a gush of diamond-bright stars. It is a strand of delicate barbed wire, pressing ever so gently against your heart, wrapping itself lovingly around your mind. It is beautiful in its sharpness, in the danger it poses. It echoes the delicate beauty of oleander’s soft pink petals, sheltering its deadly poison within.

It is as precious as the sound of rainfall when it hits the quenched Obsidian earth. It is absorbed just as quickly, sinks into your soul just as easily as water into soil. And once inside, his voice takes root, spreads out from your heart in a web across your whole body, claiming you as his. Your desire, your loyalty, your devotion all begin here, all grow from here. And you thirst for it endlessly.

It is as commanding as a storm's rolling cry of thunder across the Obsidian mountain peaks. It rattles your bones, brings you to your knees, your blood surging through your veins in tremulous answer to his call. He speaks in imperative and you are the ellipsis, breathlessly waiting for more.

It is as meek as the morning mist that settles over the land on a cool, foggy morning. It whispers your name, quietly, wistful. Almost piteous. Your name is his touchstone, his landmark, his way home through the darkness he is shrouded in. It is his greatest strength and the key to his downfall. And he knows it. He knows the power you have, the command of the moon over the tides, and he gives into it readily, thankfully. His susurrant pleas whisper over your skin, skim the seam of your lips and seek entry. You let them in, enjoying their fizzle on the tip of your tongue and then swallow each word whole.

It is as beloved to you as the bright sun is to the rose bush which stretches itself towards the warm rays, as the stars are to the dreamers who seek inspiration from the night sky. It fills your heart with the delicate song of the nightingale, as comforting as it is hauntingly beautiful. You have learned its patterns, the peaks and valleys of its intonation, the curves of its accent and love them all. And when he speaks in the tongue of Obsidian, it sends a flare of the brightest red desire shooting through you: warmth turns to wildfire, control dissolves in the flames.

Autism headcanon: Fantine (Les Misérables)

This is just one of many autism headcanons that are possible in Les Misérables. I could view quite a few of those characters as being on the autism spectrum. But this is one that I've never seen other people suggest before, but which rings true to me.

This is based only on Fantine's portrayal in the novel, by the way, not the musical. It would be almost impossible for an actress in the musical to convey all these things.

*By nature, Fantine is quiet, thoughtful, and a dreamer. In her first chapters in Paris, this sets her apart from the other, outgoing and playful grisettes. Even when she's at her happiest, she's more serious and earnest than they are, and Favourite tells her "You always look strange" or "You're always out of sorts," depending on the translation.

*Still, when she talks about something she passionately cares about, particularly the subject of her daughter Cosette, her quietness disappears and she can prattle on and on.

*She's more shy and modest than the other young women of her social class, and doesn't feel comfortable joining them in their bold, flirty games. In Paris, she never lets men other than Tholomyés kiss her, and she refuses to show off her legs by swinging on a swing. In 19th century France, grisettes were more-or-less expected to be coquettish and sexually free – this was how they found men to provide for them – so Fantine is clearly a "different" one.

*She never fits in with the groups of other women she temporarily belongs to. This is arguably one of the main reasons for her tragedy. In Paris, the other three grisettes (especially Favourite) think she's strange, and accuse her of "putting on airs" because she's less flirtatious than they are. They're only "friends" to her because their respective lovers are friends, and after the men leave she loses touch with them. Then, in Montreuil-sur-Mer, she makes no friends among the other factory workers, and depending on the translation, the other women think she either "has ways about her," or, yet again, "puts on airs." Of course this can be explained by the secret she's hiding, but it also mirrors her earlier relationship with Favourite, Dahlia, and Zéphine. The only friendship she ever builds by herself is with her neighbor Marguerite, an elderly woman who serves as her mentor; she never has real friends her own age. It seems that whenever she tries to belong to a group, they label her odd, mistake her reserve for pride, and either casually drift away from her or outright shun her as soon as they have an excuse to do so.

*She can be all too trusting. If she has a tragic flaw, this is it. First she gives both her heart and her virginity to a man who cares neither about her nor about their daughter. Then, even more fatally, she leaves Cosette in the hands of a couple she's only just met, just because their own daughters are happy and well cared for. Taking things too much at face value and trusting too much is a very common pitfall on the autism spectrum.

*In some ways she displays black-and-white thinking. When she's fired from the factory, at first she internalizes society's view of her as a sinner, accepts her firing as justice, and neither protests nor holds it against Monsieur Madeleine. But over the next two years, as she falls deeper and deeper into poverty, she gradually comes to hate Madeleine with all her heart and view him as a monster. So much so that when he saves her from prison, she can't comprehend it: she has to lie to herself that she misheard and that it was Javert who ordered her release just so the world will make sense again. Many of us on the spectrum can relate to that experience of tying our brains into knots to make sense of some jarring new information. Of course, Fantine is far from the only character in this novel with a black-and-white worldview that gets derailed: at least she's not the one who's driven to suicide by it.

*She often tends to be childlike, even after her all her trauma and loss of innocence. Her very name means "childlike" and it fits. For example, after she gets overexcited thinking Monsieur Madeleine has gone to fetch Cosette, and the nuns urge her to lie back down and not talk anymore, she apologizes for having been "naughty" and says that now she'll be "good." And of course there's her tendency to be naïve and too trusting, mentioned above.

*She's very emotionally sensitive, and she seems to have trouble controlling her emotions. In Paris, she comes close to tears at the sight of a horse dying from overwork, which her friends find amusing because to them it's just a fact of life. After giving Cosette to the Thénardiers, she openly cries "as if her heart would break" as she walks out of town (rather than being "seemly" and waiting until she reaches a private place), and when she works at the factory, she sometimes sheds a tear as she thinks of Cosette or Tholomyés, despite being surrounded by other workers. This is one of the "suspicious" details about her that the gossiping women notice. As much as people on the autism spectrum are stereotyped as unemotional, many of us are more sensitive and struggle more with emotional regulation than most people.

*Her attack on Bamatabois when he stuffs the snow down her back is easy to read as a meltdown. Of course anyone who had snow unexpectedly stuffed down their back would scream and probably fight back in self-defense, but Fantine's frightening rage – letting out a "roar," then leaping at Bamatabois "like a panther," beating him, kicking him, clawing at his face with her nails, howling and swearing all the while – goes far beyond self-defense. Now this might be explained as all the helpless rage that's built up inside her for several years finally reaching a breaking point. She might also be drunk – her voice is described as "roughened by brandy," though I don't know if by that Hugo meant that she's drunk in this scene, or just that her voice is roughened by how much she's been drinking in general. Still, to those of us who have had meltdowns, it looks familiar.

*She can be sadly irresponsible with money. When she first gets her job at the factory, she buys furniture on credit, thinking she'll soon earn enough to pay for it. As a result, after she's fired, she can't leave town and find work elsewhere because of her debt. For those of us on the spectrum, it can be hard to understand exactly how money and credit work, let alone mange them by ourselves.

*At the same time, she's memorized the routes between Montreuil-ser-Mer and Montfermeil where Cosette is, and she calculates the distance out loud to herself while she's delirious with fever. While any mother might presumably do this, people on the autism spectrum do tend to have a knack for calculating and memorizing things.

Now, of course, there's no possible way Victor Hugo, writing in the 19th century, could have meant for Fantine to be autistic. Most of the above can be explained by the fact that she's young, an orphan, and uneducated, that she's chronically ill throughout most of her storyline, and that her mental health is damaged by all her trauma. There's also the Doylist argument that Hugo was bad at writing women, which could also explain why she seems "off" at times.

But the realization that Fantine's misery and death are caused not only by society shunning her for her sexual "sin," but by her own tendency to be too trusting, and even more so by her failure to fit in or to play by all of society's many and sometimes contradictory rules, strikes a chord for me. It's terrible to imagine how many autistic women without support have probably suffered in the same ways Fantine does. Hopefully, the more people understand the spectrum, the more support systems there will be.

wip re-intro | conversion

detail from bachus, caravaggio

tag: #wip: conversion status: second draft with beta readers

summary: Rosalyn, a twenty-something fashion-making student, arrives for her MFA with a fresh diagnosis of hypochondria needing a new beginning. When she meets her professor, Marlene, and her group of acolytes -- a group of women artists Marlene lovingly calls her Hysterics, who all have the same exotic illness as Marlene -- she thinks she might have finally found her people. If the cost of admission to their ranks is the illness, Rosalyn reasons, she can give it to herself; when she shows up with the disease, they offer her the care she'd always wanted. But when a figure from Marlene's past enters the picture and threatens the cohesion of their group, the Hysterics -- Rose included -- must figure out how far they're willing to go to protect their secrets.

genres: dark litfic, satire

comps: Bunny by Mona Awad x The Things We Do to Our Friends by Heather Darwent

themes & tropes: the medicine of both/and; medical misogyny and alternative medicine quackery; feminist theory and its misapplications; women's friendships and betrayals; a cast of mostly unlikeable queer women; problematic rep and realistic portrayals of uneven power dynamics; coercive control and self-brainwashing; charismatic cults and leftist politics

character profiles under the cut

Rosalyn/Rose, definitely post-makeover, a late-20s fashion-making MFA student with a hypochondria diagnosis and a problematic relationship to her body; artsy-dreamer, certified Tumblr Girl in the mid-2010s desperately clinging to her 20 followers and 2 mutuals, wants nothing more than love and has no idea how to get it

Josephine, a former therapist turned memoirist whose home becomes the mothership for the rest of the hysterics; loves visible mending, slow living, and trashy horror movies, but is a scaredy-cat at heart who has to hold onto a stuffed animal or fuzzy jacket to watch them, aspiring cat mom

Anais, a fabric weaver fresh from her undergrad in textile studies; unstable in every way from her identity to her work, and the baby of the group; refined taste and high standards for the fine things in life, but garbage taste in women

Dahlia, a community organizer and performance artist who talks a lot but doesn't know as much as she thinks; main character syndrome; constantly moving, does sun salutations as a nervous tic

Ximena, a painter who has a PhD in math and a taste for psychedelics; loves Pythagoras; terrifying and intense and silly and strange; the second-in-command who was born to lead; spends most of her time reading books in Spanish and trying to ignore Dahlia; refuses to sleep alone and with the lights out, has to pick one or the other

Get to know you - Sims Style

Sorry, @puffkins2000, I totally forgot about that thing! Anyway, thank u for tagging me ❤ I really appreciate that you mention me as your fav creator ❤

Alpha CC or Maxis Match? I use both, but in CASt I add more realistic textures for MM items if it's possible, detailed textures is really important for me. For hair I prefer now more realistic textures like @ifcasims or Plumblobs. Also I replace speculars to black in almost every item because I hate that shine.

Do you cheat your sims weight? No, I don`t care about this.

Do you move objects? I don`t build most of the time, but I use MOO for moving sims for photoshoots.

First Expansion/Game Pack/Stuff Pack? I've always had an 🏴‍☠️ game with all packs 😋

Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing? I don`t speak about sims in English, but I read this in my head as aLIVE.

Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made? Christhie (and her gf Ingrid ofc but I don`t have good new portrait of her):

Even if I actively use them as models for my CC, I still haven't created any special backstory for them. Only that they are girls that into nu and black metal but they are still love each other. That`s it. But they are my favorites anyway.

Which is your favorite EA hair color? Huh? I think that question is here because it was a tag game for ts4 players?... I know that in ts3 exists hair color presets, but I don`t use standard ones.

Favorite EA hair? I installed @maryjanesims3 defaults yesterday 😅 But actually I have some favs from store:

Also that BG long male hair that Gunther Goth have and SN and Decades middle length hairs:

credits for pics: @ifcasims and @blamseastore

Are you a CC creator? Ofc, I love convert/create different items, it may be hard sometimes, but I really like it. But mostly I love create sims and play around in CAS.

Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad? Almost half of my friends are from the sims community 😍 @agnelid @oddballik @sagasimsworld @avirein @you-will-never-find-me-anymore @vayorika @nectar-cellar

Do you have any sims merch? No, I haven't.

How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing? To be honest, it changes every day. But for example before I started this acc I preferred more maxis-match-ish style with simple matte hair textures and genetics and other stuff, because it was looking good in other people's screenshots. But after I understand that this style doesn`t suit my current aesthetic and now I use more realistic style. Also earlier I used less sliders and my sims faces was less diverse and also really really skinny no matter what their body type is. But my sims proportions have always tended to be realistic, I only liked the cartoon/anime-like style sims when I was much younger (like 10-13 smth).

Who’s your favorite CC creator? This list will be huuugee, but I love creators that made high-quality CC and can fit my aesthetic. To be more specific: @sim-songs, @nemiga-sims-archive, @rollo-rolls, @simtanico, @rstarsims3, @ninaaposts, @satellite-sims, @polaesims, @murfeelee, @nightospheresims, @agnelid, @nectar-cellar, @ifcasims @vmsims23, @xiasimla, yesod/jesod/thorns-of-piece (I think it`s @grim-dreamer-cc now?...), @billsims-cc, @shushilda, @ziva-sims, @aroundthesims, @pitheinfinite, @martassimsbookcc, @aa6x7, Pink Dahlia, @thepathofnevermorecc, Wiktoria-Von-Frege (inactive), Aikea-Guinea and Gelydh (Inactive), @white-enamel-ts3 (inactive), Ephemera and Tifa (Inactive), @leahlillith (inactive for ts3) and many others.

How do you edit your pictures? I use Reshade with different presets (mostly by @erasabledinosaur or @intramoon), Photoshop CC 2017 (also installed Topaz Clean today) with these actions by @intramoon: SONDER, COLDWATER, BEAUTY QUEEN, LEAVING SALVATION. Also mess around in photoshop and/or use AI upscaler to make pics in better quality (I can turn on 4k HQ, but I always forgot about that). Sometimes I try something different but this is the base.

What expansion/gamepack is your favorite? World adventures, Late night, Supernatural and Generations.

What a wall of text I wrote, I hope someone reads it to the end 😅

I don`t know who to tag actually ＼（〇_ｏ）／ I really late to the party with that tag game.

Sevika!

(General Information: Sevika is a character from Arcane. She's a gruff fighter with a metal arm prosthesis. She's also very responsible, intelligent, and will try to end confrontations peacefully if possible.)

Sevika would absolutely love and spoil you! She's really relieved to be with someone who she believes can actually handle themself. She does worry, nonetheless.

She doesn't have a lot of time on her hands, but she'll spend every moment possible with you. Loves spoiling you, just as you spoil her. When her (relatively large) paycheck comes in, she would absolutely love taking you shopping.

She loves your ambition! Whatever you plan to do in your adult life, she will support. She'll get you whatever you need and put as much of her spare time forward as possible.

She probably picks up little trinkets and bugs when she has the time? And (especially if you're forgetful) will leave it on counters/tables. Just little offerings she hopes you won't mention.

Sevika has a lot of trauma, and is surprisingly good at calming people down. She'll usually boss them around, get them functioning and then talk. But she can also be soft. Kneel down and pat, murmur, whatever needed. Whenever Sevika is dealing something, she tends to get irritable and might even cry a bit, quietly and alone. A good, warm meal will calm her enough to talk it over.

Sevika isn't really jealous, and she's fine with your being jealous as long as it doesn't prevent her from doing something. If it does, she'll sit you down and attempt to understand and better the situation.

I can see a lot of good communication in the relationship, and a lot of mutual spoiling (and breakdowns)!
