Congratulations to Tara Dower for becoming the fastest person in history to complete the Appalachian Trail! The 31-year-old from Virginia completed the 2,168 mile (3,489 km) backcountry trail in 40 days, 18 hours, and five minutes, a distance usually covered by an A.T. thru-hiker in five to seven months.
To set the record, Dower ran and hiked an average of 54 miles each day on the often rocky and steep trail, which includes a total vertical gain of 465,000 feet as it runs through fourteen states. She started her daily runs at 3:30 am and continued for approximately 17 hours with several short breaks for meals and 90-second "dirt naps."
Dower used her record-setting run to raise money for Girls on the Run, saying that she hopes her feat will inspire girls and women. “I hope more women get out there,” she said. “It’s about finding our true potential. And, you know, if you beat the men, that’s an extra bonus.” When she reached the trail's end on Saturday night, the exhausted but jubilant Dower fell to her knees and put her hands on the bronze plaque that reads, “A footpath for those who seek fellowship with the wilderness.”

[img ID: A light orange poster with a darker orange design in the background with film reel and tentacles. In a purple blocky font, the title of the poster reads: "Dungeons and Daddies 2023 Halloween Week", followed by the prompts for every day in black text (detailed in the post below). At the bottom of the poster, in the same purple font, the post reads: "October 25th thru October 31st". /end ID]
All of our prompts for Halloween Week have been decided on, thank you to everyone who sent in submissions and/or boosted our initial post asking for suggestions! If you have a question about any of the prompts or about our fanweek in general, don't be afraid to reach out and send an ask, we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Oct 25: Vampires / The last days of summer / Watching horror movies Oct 26: Witches / Costumes and dressing up / A surprising shop Oct 27: Werewolves / Visiting a farm / Things left abandoned Oct 28: Free day! Oct 29: Demons / Baking / Nightmares Oct 30: Ghosts / Leaf piles / Visiting a haunted house Oct 31: Mummies / Trick-or-treating / Halloween party
Any sort of fanwork is okay to fulfill these prompts: fan art, fanfiction, cosplay, anything! You do not have to participate every day, and also do not need to fulfill all three prompts; you can try to include all three if you want to, but we just wanted to provide multiple options for participants. Once we reach October 25th, just use the tag #dndads halloween week 2023 to show off your work, and we will share everything we can.
With all of that covered, good luck to everyone with their fan creations! Though this event doesn't properly start until October, keep an eye on the blog because we have plans for some fun stuff in the meanwhile. Once again, our asks are open for any questions, and thank you so much for your excitement so far!

2. Which of your fics is your pride and joy?
It used to be Crimson Lips, and while I still think it's INCREDIBLE, I've had a number of... difficult things happen around it, so it's kinda fallen off a bit from its pedestal. Currently, my PRIDE and JOY, as evidenced by my weekly post saying I'm thinking about her, is The Creature.
A monster haunts the forest, taking the dead and dying as tribute. Twilight Sparkle, her kingdom’s finest warrior and scholar, might just be able to save it.
Top to bottom, it was a joy to write and it's good and UGHH CREACHURITYYYY I would die for you (I wouldn't put TEL/TEK here because though I love them to death, and they're the most important work I have, my relationship with them is a fractured mess lmaooo) 3. What are your top three most commonly used tags on AO3?
Slice of life, AU, Romance !
11. What makes a fic 'successful' in your opinion?
Genuinely and sincerely, finishing it, lmao. If I can finish a story, and not have caved in to people pleasing and modified the story to be something I didn't want it to be, I consider that a huge success lol
15. Does anyone you know in real life know you write fanfiction?
Yeeep! I met most of my current offline social circle thru the MLP fandom so... they know my secrets lmao actually two of them have read Crimson 16. What do you struggle with most when writing?
Not overthinking every part of it excessively out of fear of upsetting???? a fictional audience??? in my head???? that I've convinced myself hate me???? it's a huge issue lol I've been working really hard to kill that part of me
17. What is something you recently felt proud of in your writing?
Today marks the 14th day in the longest daily writing streak I've had in literal YEARS! I am GLOWING lmao and it's been really helping me cope with the grad school rejections 23. What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?
A comedy fic where my raritwi next gens convince Discord to send them back in time to attend their mothers' wedding, and as chaos ensues, older!raritwi have to follow them and basically crash their own wedding
27. Are any of your stories inspired by personal experience?
genuinely and sincerely, all of them mostly lmao I am someone who injects herself into her stories, I don't know any other way to write
(but, more personally, TEL is extremely personal in that I wrote it to help deal with and leave a toxic [platonic] relationship I was in at the time).
31. What fic meant the most to you to write?
The Enchanted Library. Partly because of what I said above, but also because my entire life currently--and I mean that literally, my friends, where I live, everything I've achieved in the past ten years--is literally owed to TEL. Who I would be without it would be someone very, very different. I'd likely be living in a different country, and I can tell you for sure I don't think I'd have taken writing so seriously without it. I owe it literally my life--and, at the risk of getting dark, I do mean that literally. I am breathing today because more than once I told myself I could not act rashly on my life because TEL wasn't finished yet.
34. What is your favorite fic to get comments/messages on?
Generally, I love any of them, but I used parts of new/non-mlp Crimson Lips for my grad school sample, and my two rejections so far have really shaken my faith in the story [and in my own writing lmaooooo], so comments on that are always appreciated! Also because it'S GOOD, DAMN IT Also, whenever Colors of the Soul is FINISHED GOD, I'm going to shove that down everyone's throat I swear to gO-

5:10 three days. Yup. Thats how long it takes to recover from being run thru with a sword.
6:50 DRESS 👏 UP 👏 TIME 👏
9:30 “a thick piece of metal?” That dude wasn’t actually a prince, was he?
10:15 arthur bby plz do not go out in underwear and a shitty breastplate
10:20 Was that a zipper?? Btwn that and all the modern english everyone speaks, I don’t think they really time travelled lmao
12:10 three days. Absofruitly. 4 out of 5 doctors agree
13:10 what in gods name is that armor made out of
13:10 no he is definitely still a sore thumb
14:00 listen, i love yorick, but y’all trust him way too much
23:00 PI remembers secret doors are a thing. More at 6
25:30 for someone with no legs, you sure are good at jumping to conclusions, yorick
27:00 oh so now we’re suspicious.
28:50 nothing like some stagnant water with a three-day-old body in it to freshen up your stab wound
31:00 the lung capacity of this man gd
38:50 yes please get rid of the breastplate
39:00 a man who looks nothing like the prince who is nigh unintelligible with weird hair and shoes wearing nothing else but the prince’s bloodied underwear and one piece of his armor does not stand a better chance of getting into a castle than a random stranger. Once you get near the castle, hide your 20th century shit and the prince’s clearly more expensive clothing and say you were mugged and stabbed.
40:20 yeeeep its defo haunted. Again.
43:00 hes gonna paint the nails duh
44:00 ah. Ew, yorick. You know what, I’m not gonna yuck anyones yum
45:00 Alexander “definitely not an evil familiar” Owl, so happy to have you back
46:30 awww Faroe’s Waylay is probably a nice park with duckies 😭

EVERY FILM NOMINATED FOR A 2024 OSCAR RANKED
35. Elton John: Never Too Late - Not so much a movie as the bonus material for some other, perhaps hypothetical movie. Perfect viewing for someone who is a huge fan of Elton John, but also knows literally nothing about him and also isn’t particularly interested in learning.
34. The Six Triple Eight - The absolute worst part of this insane yearly project where I watch every single movie nominated for an Oscar, is that every year, for the last 8 years straight, there is a film that is nominated only because it has a Diane Warren song over the end credits. How good ARE these movies? Not very. How not vary? I’m glad you asked.
Movies Nominated for an Oscar Strictly Because of a Diane Warren Song Ranked (2018-2024):
1. RBG (2018)
2. Marshall (2017)
3. Flamin’ Hot (2023)
4. The Life Ahead (2020) (I have absolutely no memory of this movie so I’m putting it here)
(GAP)
5. The Six Triple Eight (2024)
6. Breakthru (2019)
(BIG GAP)
7. Four Good Days (2021)
(GAP THE SIZE OF THE GRAND CANYON)
8. Tell It Like A Woman (2022)
33. Gladiator II - This looks like shit, everyone in it is wildly miscast, and it has absolutely no reason to exist. But other than that its pretty ok I guess.
32. Alien: Romulus - Nearly two straight hours of asking yourself, what? and, who? And most of all, why?? Like watching a video feed of people you don’t care about walk thru an expensive, overly complicated, yet overly familiar haunted house. Can we please just let this franchise die already?
31. The Seed of the Sacred Fig - Did I see this movie? I logged it on letterboxd so I must have. But what happens in it? I really have no idea. I do recall about two and half hours in being roused from a stupor by the dad becoming an over the top cartoon villain out of nowhere and chasing his family with a gun. And I feel like I remember thinking that was exciting, if nonsensical. But other than that, I got nothing.
30. Nosferatu - This is like Robert Eggers thought he was making a series of cool looking paintings instead of a movie. It all LOOKS incredible, but to what end? Am I supposed to be scared? Am I supposed to be in suspense over a story I already know every beat of? Am I supposed to be emotionally invested in the characters? It is supposed to be saying something? Or am I just supposed to marvel at the incredible craft on display while feeling absolutely nothing? If so, well done!
29. Porcelain War - The porcelain stuff and the war stuff do not work together at all. B+ for effort, D- for execution which leaves us with a C, which feels right, if not a touch generous
28. The Wild Robot - As a massive Pixar fanboy, I’m the exact opposite of whatever a fanboy is when it comes to Dreamworks Animation. Their movies are everything Pixar’s are not: generic, anonymously made, simplistic, aimed squarely at tweens, devoid of wit or true humor, and corporate feeling. This is definitely no exception.
27. Sugarcane - Very important topic, very generic film. Great companion piece with Nickel Boys though.
26. Soundtrack to a Coup Etat - When you have to spend 20 minutes after a documentary finishes googling to figure out what the documentary you just watched was about, then I feel like that should mean your documentary is a failure. AND YET. Soundtrack to a Coup Etat does something undeniably new and interesting with the documentary form, which feels increasingly rare and hard to do. And if watching it often felt like trying to make sense of an article in an academic journal about a subject you’ve never studied, I guess I’d rather than that asking for things that are bland and overly dumbed down. So while for me personally, this wasn’t really successful as a movie, I certainly applaud its ambition (a phrase that really sums up the 2024 movie year) and hope it can lead to more experimentation with the documentary form.
(For a movie that, for me, very successfully experiments with form, look no further than the nominated short doc Incident, which, for my money, is easily the best documentary of the year regardless of length)
25. Maria - One of the best looking wikipedia entries I’ve ever watched .
24. Memoir of a Snail - A precious little jewel box of a film, if a bit too slight for me personally. But god bless everyone, like Adam Elliot, using animation as a medium to tell personal adult stories, rather than simply as a way to entertain kids. More movies like this please. 
23. Black Box Diaries - Very important story, but way too long and unfocused as a movie. The whole time I kept envisioning the hypothetical better version of this doc and how powerful it could have been. Shiori Ito is incredible though, a truly inspiring person, and someone well worth knowing about.
22. The Girl With The Needle - By far the most brutal movie from a year in which there was literally a movie called The Brutalist. Very well made - the cinematography should have been nominated, and Magnus von Horn is a director to watch - but man oh man was this a rough watch. The rare “they’re not actually going to go there, are they??” movie that does indeed actually go there.
21. I’m Still Here - If I had to describe this movie I would describe it as “a movie”. There are characters. Things happen. You learn something. It’s all done very competently. But it left absolutely no emotional or intellectual impact whatsoever, despite its important and very relevant subject matter. There’s nothing wrong with it, but nothing great about it either. It’s the perfect embodiment of, “yeah, it was pretty good I guess”
20. No Other Land - It’s a true bummer, but I feel like I’ve already seen this exact movie several other times in this in recent years: 20 Days in Mariupol, For Sama, Last Men in Aleppo, countless nominated doc shorts, and more. It’s verite footage from a conflict zone, presented without real narrative or narration, showing you the reality of living while under attack. It’s always moving, but rarely revelatory. Can this sort of thing actually make a difference? It’s the true power of film that I can’t imagine it's possible to walk away from this doc and not be totally outraged by what Israel is doing, and has been doing, in Gaza. This should be shown in schools. But also - same as it ever was. Both as a film and as a reality.
19. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - I had never seen any of these movies before, so bless this film for introducing me to a truly great modern IP-based franchise. It is possible! This is definitely the weakest of the four films, and it feels like without the force of Andy Serkis’ Caesar, the clear stakes of the first three entries, and Matt Reeves’ directorial vision, that we’ve likely hit the point of diminishing returns. But even though this felt a little aimless and inessential, the VFX and world building is still...out of this world, and it has just enough to say and explore thematically that I’m not NOT interested to see what they come up with next.
18. Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl - The most I laughed during any movie released in 2024. I don’t know if thats more an indictment of the year in comedy or a credit to the wit and visual gags of this movie, but either way, facts are facts. And a good bulk of that laughter and delight was due to Feathers McGraw, who continues to be one of the best movie villains of all time. As many times as Aardman wants to go back to that well, I am absolutely here for it.
17. The Substance - I don’t really respond movies that prioritize style over character and story, I don’t like horror, and I especially don’t like weird body stuff, so it's safe to say that this movie is securely in the Not For Me Hall of Fame. I get why people like it, I have no problem with them, it's got true style, Coralie Fargeat is clearly very talented, Margaret Qualley is a star, and I think its awesome that something this wild can get nominated for Best Picture. Great job everyone. Now just please never make me watch this movie ever again.
16. The Apprentice - Though not, by any means, the most well made movie of 2024, certainly the one that I have thought about the most since seeing it. Perhaps for obvious reasons, but that makes it even more infuriating that so many people have purposely avoiding seeing this movie to “protect themselves” or "can't handle any more Donald Trump" or “because they already know everything it is has to say”. Yes! Absolutely! Which is why you should see it! Leaving aside it has maybe 2 of the top 6 to 8 best performances of the year in it, the power of film as a medium is often to create a new more visceral way of understanding what we otherwise grasp only intellectually. And it lets us experience things that discomfort us from a distance so we can deeper explore those discomforts and investigate them further. Did this movie tell me any FACTS about Donald Trump I didn’t already know? Not really, although I feel sure for many people it likely would. But do I feel like I UNDERSTAND him, his actions, the way he views the world, and how he thinks, not more sympathetically, but definitely more deeply than ever before? Absolutely! And isn't better understanding the forces that control our world part of the whole reason art exists? So yes, trigger warning: Donald Trump. But now is not the time to look away; now is the time to look closer. Let Sebastian Stan be your guide.
15. September 5 - This movie is incredibly successful at telling the story it wants to tell. Every element of the movie is perfectly crafted and calibrated, no notes. It’s just that the story it is telling is so hyper specific that you leave the film feeling like you really learned about an interesting incident, but didn’t really ever think or feel. And nothing wrong with that! Movies can be many things, and it’s to this movie’s great credit that it doesn’t try to be more than what it is. It’s just that for me personally, what it is is perhaps just a bit too "well-crafted historical reenactment" for me to rank it any higher.
14. Inside Out 2 - Read my Wild Robot review above and reverse it. Whip smart and laugh out loud funny. Something for everyone, yet never pandering or lowest common denominator. Incredible specificity, yet totally universal. A script that has real human finger prints all over it. And I can tell you from plenty of first hand experience that inside Out 2 has helped both kids and adults talk about and understand their emotions. If I had experienced Maya Hawke as Anxiety at age 10 it truly might have changed my life. After a few rough years I’m very glad I don't have to get my #TeamPixar tattoo removed after all.
13. Conclave - 2024’s very best John Grisham film adaptation. Fun and frivolous and way better made than it has any right to be. Like a soufflé of a film, with less calories. And such a throw back to the 90s that Billy Crystal in a pope hat should get to host any part of the Oscars where Conclave is mentioned, it only feels right.
12. A Real Pain - So many adaptations of plays never justify their existence as movies, so it's rare to see a movie that doesn’t really fully justify why it wasn’t just a play. It's also unclear why everyone just decided Kieran Culkin was winning Best Supporting Actor in October and that’s never been challenged since. He’s great in the movie, it's just strange in such a great year for supporting actor performances. But ultimately I’m down for any rich, well-drawn, complicated character study/hang out movie. When Cord Jefferson used his Oscars speech last year to implore Hollywood to make ten $10 million movies rather than one $100 million movie this is exactly the kind of modest yet moving exploration of the human condition he was lamenting the loss of, so its great to see this movie not only get made, but succeed. My queen, Emma Stone, never misses.
11. Emilia Perez - Before the Karla Sofia Gascon Affair made all pre-existing opinions about this movie null and void I had noticed something interesting. Everyone in my life who was an actor was positive to enthusiastic about this film. Everyone who was not an actor was negative to disdainful about it. It got me thinking about why. And I think it's that the sheer levels of earnest, try hard, let's put on a show energy that this movie gives off is catnip for theater kids. I mean, an original musical? A trans empowerment narrative? Zoe Saldana dance numbers? Nuclear amounts of cringe? It's like theater kid Mad Libs. All of which is to say, that like so many of us who have ever been described as “too much”, I feel like I can more easily forgive this movie its huge and obvious flaws. Which is of course now all this movie is known for. When I watched Emilia Perez before it was released onto Netflix the only two things I was thinking the whole time were -  this is so insane that it’s actually kind of working on me, and also, I truly hope no one with access to the internet ever watches this film, or else the entire world wide web might be destroyed forever. Little did I know the ultimate twitter mob was coming from inside the house. 
So look, if you hate this film for any number of justifiable reasons, I totally get it. I honestly would probably start picking it apart on a rewatch. But also, unlike being a Mexican cartel leader, there’s no way to ever fully transition out of being a theater kid. And shit this wild is my/our drug.
10. Flow - By far the best silent animated Latvian cat drama I’ve ever seen. Proof that great art truly can be anything from anywhere.
9. The Brutalist - The first half of the movie is the best movie of the year and one of the best of the decade, and then the second half comes and, well…its not. If I was to lean into the architecture thing I could say that it crumbles under its own weight. It becomes somehow both too obtuse and too literal. The big incident in the second act made me almost literally groan out load. And Felicity Jones is woefully miscast. And in the end I don’t know what is actually effectively being communicated other than “look at me, Brady Corbet, and how good I am at making movies”. But also, wow is he good at making movies. At least this one. The craft on display is truly out of this world, and to do it on $10 million feels like a genuine magic trick. So if the coda to this film is whatever the opposite of sticking the landing is (tripping over your own feet?), well, at least the leaping into the air was truly majestic.
8. Wicked - Remember how I was just talking about theater kids…Do you know how well made your movie has to be for MUSICAL THEATER PEOPLE, the most critical, hard to please group of people on the planet to shower it with near universal praise? I honestly wouldn’t have thought it was possible before Wicked came out. Especially because the trailer looked like hot garbage. But damn if it didn’t work on me like a charm. The sets, the costumes, the performances, they way they stretched out the story without ever making it feel too long or bloated, the choreography - I mean what can I say, it won me, and more importantly MUSICAL THEATER PEOPLE, over completely. John M. Chu, I salute you for achieving the impossible.
7. A Different Man - Like that time Ryan Gosling wore a shirt with a picture of Macaulay Culkin wearing a shirt with a picture of Ryan Gosling, only if the bit had gone on WAY longer. It's an MC Escher drawing hanging next to wall text by Charlie Kauffman. Did David Lynch have to die so that Aaron Shomberg could thrive? I guess we’ll find out!
6. Better Man - If you you’re asking yourself, can one of the best musical sequences in modern movie history take place in a movie where a guy no one in America had ever heard of is played by a CGI monkey, then you CLEARLY haven’t seen the “Rock DJ” sequence in Better Man. Does the rest of the movie’s cliched, predictable, and also often inaccurate narrative developments benefit greatly from the fact that this is one of the only movies of its kind where we don’t know the whole story and all the songs going in? Almost definitely. Is the fact no one had any interest in, or expectations for, this movie whatsoever a big part of why an evangelical cult, of which I am a part, is already forming around it? Absolutely! But movies like this are exactly why this project of seeing every Oscar nominee is always worthwhile. Because otherwise I would have never seen this movie, and now talking about this movie is my whole personality. But truly, seeing the “Rock DJ” performance on the big screen for the first time, having no idea what was coming, was like finding out that God is real. I’ll never ever forget it. (Oops, I just totally ruined the no expectations thing for you. Sorry!)
5. A Complete Unknown - Somehow both possibly the best straight ahead musical biopic of all time (go ahead, try and come up with one definitively better) and yet also only the 4th best Life of Bob Dylan movie. But still, mastering an entire type of film, even if it's a conventional and inherently cheesy one, is still really something special. And the performances elevate it a level even beyond that. Timmy is an absolute star and capital A actor, Monica Barbaro is a (incredibly attractive) revelation, and Edward Norton is Edward Fucking Norton. Plus with music this good, presented this well, it's just really tough to beat as far as this kind of movie is concerned. So yes, it feels a bit old fashioned, but also it's a movie where you think “they rarely make 'em like this anymore”, and thats because they never really did. 
4. Dune: Part Two - I have a truly wild complaint about this movie: too much happens. Dune: Part I was not only my second favorite film of 2021 but one of my favorite films of the decade so far. And what I liked best about it was the fact that for the first time in a very long time a movie transported me to somewhere that felt totally new and totally visceral. The sense of being immersed in world and just sort of hanging out there for three hours felt completely unique, immersive, and was some real “this is the power of movies!” shit. It looked and felt like nothing I’d ever experienced before. But now for the sequel, had I not only experienced the world before, but rather than feeling fresh and new it started to feel a bit like a typical movie. A focus on plot over world building. Action over atmosphere. Predictability over surprise. And, as with so many epic stories, a difficulty ending things. Now don’t get me wrong, this is still a GREAT movie and better than 99.9% of VFX heavy sci-fi tentpole movies. #VilleneuveForLife. But my expectations were through the roof and, for me, this film got stuck somewhere in the clutter of the attic.
3. Nickel Boys - In one of my day jobs I teach kids about movies and how they’re made, and one thing I feel like I always struggle with is trying to convey how amazing it must have been to experience things we now take for granted for the first time. Things like tracking shots, crane shots, deep focus, breaking the 180 degree line, the basic tools of film storytelling, its visual vocabulary, all had to be thought of and used for the first time by someone, and they likely rewired the brains of viewers when they saw these things for first time. Now Nickel Boys is of course not the first film to told using first-person perspective, but man if I didn’t think about the experience of seeing something totally new the whole time I was watching it. Because the movie looked, and felt, and WAS, unlike anything I’d ever experienced before. It was something brand new, which when you see as many films as I do, is often enough by itself. But this wasn’t just a new form; it was form in service of function. Creating a totally new way to present the human experience generally, and black pain specifically. Literally a new way to view and and connect to it. Normally I talk about watching a film - this felt like living inside one. Nickel Boys is a total game changer, and to the future film teachers out there: if your kids want to know what it is was like to experience this movie for the first time: It rewired my brain. It was incredible.
2. Sing Sing - JUSTICE FOR CLARENCE MACLIN!! HOW AM I NOT GOING TO BE HEARING HIS OSCAR SPEECH THIS YEAR?!? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST DESERVING EVER!!
JUSTICE FOR SING SING!!! IN 99 OUR OF 100 POSSIBLE UNIVERSES THIS IS THE 2024 BEST PICTURE WINNER. EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH THIS MOVIE SHOULD SUE THE A24 MARKETING AND AWARDS CAMPAIGN TEAMS. HOW DO YOU FUMBLE THE BAG THIS BADLY?? I’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT!
I DON’T CARE THAT THIS IS DEFINITIVELY A LOWER CASE MOVIE, I’LL NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT IT IN ALL CAPS. IT DESERVES THAT AND SO MUCH MORE. SEE THIS FILM. IT IS SO SO SPECIAL. YOU WILL LOVE IT OR YOU ARE NOT HUMAN. SING SING!!!!!
1. Anora - Anora is proof that many of the big recurring complaints about movies this year - too much to say, too muddled in tone, too many different movies happening in the same film, etc. - aren’t inherently flaws, they just have to be expertly navigated by a master. Sean Baker is that master. And this movie is a masterful ride. It balances so many plates while swerving around so wildly, yet always feels like the smoothest most enjoyable journey. And it turns the rest of the 2024 movie year on its head. “Important” doesn’t have to be solemn, “serious” can be a ton of fun, and a movie can be whatever it wants to be whenever it wants to be it. Everything Everywhere All At A Specific And Perfectly Calibrated Time. The best comedy, the best fight scene, the most suspense, the most intimate character study, the best hang-out film, the heaviest emotional devastation - it’s all here. It’s a movie for everyone, yet as hyper-specific as it gets. It’s a miracle.

List of my Bookish Save File settings
1 sim year = 112 sim days, each season 28 days
game clock slowed to half speed (using MCCC)
Baby = 28 sim days (roughly 3 months of human life)
Infant = 196 sim days (age 3 months thru end of age 1)
Toddler = 336 sim days (age 2 thru end of age 4)
Child = 896 sim days (age 5 thru end of age 12)
Teen = 672 sim days (age 13 thru end of age 18)
YA = 1344 sim days (age 19 thru end of age 30)
Adult = 1344 sim days (age 31 thru end of age 42)
Elder = 3360 sim days (age 43 thru 70 or more depending on the lifespan the game gives them)
NOTE - I do not consider elder age to start at 43 in my real life. I make it so for the sim settings just so that sims stop getting pregnant once they leave the adult age range. But I use cc to make them not so elderly-looking when they are in their late 40s and 50s.
Pregnancy span = 84 sim days (which is 3 seasons of the sim year, 9 months)
I used to have all pet age spans corresponding correctly too, but currently pet age spans is not working for me correctly with MCCC after update so all the pets died.

#Uncool50 Index page
Tumblr media
Having made a post indexing my #FearOfMu21c posts, i thought that I might as well index all the #Uncool50 posts too, in case anyone wanted to have a look thru those. This was a challenge posted last year on twitter where those taking part had to pick their 50 favourite singles since the punk era. As well as doing this, I took it upon myself to write a post about each of them, which i eventually stockpiled here (for want of anything else to do with them). A quick word of warning: unlike my posts this year, they were often turned around to short order and consequently i'm less happy with them than the ones i did this time.
Anyway, after we found that most people weren't really interested in picking anything much released after 1985, the organiser (my twitter friend Arron Wright, or @nonoxcol as he is there) decided to do a purely 21st century challenge this year, which is where #FearOfMu21c comes in. But anyway, these were my #Uncool 50 picks. They're listed in no particular order, other than 11 pts were given to the best five songs, with the top one getting an extra point too (as noted below).
1. Abba - Knowing Me, Knowing You

Where the hell are questions 41-50? I feel like im getting ripped off! /j
51) Quesadillas
52) no, cus what "reason" is there for cancer? What "reason" is there for biggotry? What "reason" is there for plagues and pandemics? If someone can answer those, then i might reconsider.
53) turn on a quiet youtube video to listen too to help me sleep and turn on a fan to keep me cool.
54) cheating, no. Open relationships are one thing, but when two people are together in a closed relationship and one of them cheats, thats just wrong.
55) i try to be nice, but some people make that reeeeally hard. I can be a massive bitch if i need to be.
56) 1. My bully in elementary school.
57) yes, but i also believe it is very hard to find.
58) light snow
59) ... yes.
60) eventually, but only if im allowed to wear a cute wedding dress. (Ive had multiple exes say "if we get married you still have to wear a suit" [for reference im a trans woman])
61) depends on the context, but yea, it can be.
62) get back to me on that one. Im not sure anymore. The things that used to make me happy now only just get me by. I dont know how to feel happy rn.
63) fuck yea, i hate my dead name and want to legally change it, but there is that whole "im broke af" issue i gotta fix 1st.
64) yea, cus i would rather punch them than kiss them tbh.
65) i am gonna change the word from sex to gender in this question just because it will be easier to answer. I have 1 male friend, and idk what i would do if he said he likes me tbh...
66) yee. Same dude as 65
67) last man i talked to was my dad, other than him, the friend i mentioned in the last 2 answers.
68) prolly same dude as before, we where discussing FNAF lore
69) 2 people destined for eachother from birth? No. 2 people who form a bond stronger than just love, yes.
70) each of the 5 people i miss (see question 14)
70 horrible questions ... Fuck it
01: Do you have a good relationship with your parents? 02: Who did you last say “I love you” to? 03: Do you regret anything? 04: Are you insecure? 05: What is your relationship status? 06: How do you want to die? 07: What did you last eat? 08: Played any sports? 09: Do you bite your nails? 10: When was your last physical fight? 11: Do you like someone? 12: Have you ever stayed up 48 hours? 13: Do you hate anyone at the moment? 14: Do you miss someone? 15: Have any pets? 16: How exactly are you feeling at the moment? 17: Ever made out in the bathroom? 18: Are you scared of spiders? 19: Would you go back in time if you were given the chance? 20: Where was the last place you snogged someone? 21: What are your plans for this weekend? 22: Do you want to have kids?

the stress i went thru to limit these all to just one artist per category AND avoid using unreleased songs 😣 ik i still used a couple but i made sure that they’re like, easy to access and aren’t some rlly obscure ones u cant find anywhere
the hardest part was definitely limiting the artist count to one per theme. that meant no repeat kali, lana, sza or solya despite the fact that i could’ve filled this entire list with pure kali uchis…actually i might do that some time
