Happy March of the OCs!!

A bunch of people kindly let me make a Sims version of their OCs for a Thunderbirds save I was making, just to have as background characters instead of the regular townies. So here's what I made based off their descriptions, and some links so you can look at the wonderful creations in which they originated! And feel free to let me know if you have some OCs you'd be okay with adding to the project!

Firstly, we have Jasmine and Jade, two treasure hunters in need of International Rescue's helping hand, from @katblu42's wonderful story Jasmine and Jade [Tumblr | AO3]

Next, we have the Raoul rangers, from @gumnut-logic's Kermadec AU! From top left to bottom right; Mel Fisher, Elspeth Rana, and Sam and Liam Coyle :D I'm very, very fond of these folks! Mel is my personal favourite, simply because I love her passion for conservation and how she gives Scott a good run for his money haha (metaphorically AND literally!)

They first feature in We'll Be Home For Christmas, which can be found here [AO3] (I know it's on Tumblr somewhere too, but I am struggling to find it oops)

Next is Everett Sanders and Jules Sheridan, created by @whatgaviiformes for the infamous Chicken Dad series (long live Chicken Dad!!) which begins here! Although they're both Gordon's friend, Everett and Virgil have their own special connection, which is explored here (and is in my incredibly unbiased opinion, adorable). Everything is also happily on Tumblr for copious reblogging here!

Next is the Carter family, created by @louthestarspeaker! From top left to right bottom, we have Brook and Kim, then their children Desiray, Eagan, and Laurie. Laurie is a good friend of Alan's and features in the fic Shoulder to Shoulder [Tumblr | AO3]

Next are Squirt and Alisha, created by @squiddokiddo

Squirt and Gordon have lots of sweet interactions together, which you can check out here, and Alisha is Kayo's girlfriend and can can be found here and here. There might be some art that's slipped through the cracks of tagging so here's their OC art tag to enjoy alllllllll the art :D

Finally, Arthur and Andrew John Trumbull, created by @tikatu. Andrew John features in The White Winds as Fermat's roommate, which can be found on ffnet here. Arthur is his father. There's quite a number of OCs, since Tikatu's created a whole Wharton's for Alan and Fermat, and I have not gotten around to making everyone ><

Hi Desiray!! I love these art asks. Can I ask David: Are you the bold type? Do want your ideas and thoughts to be heard all around the world? and The Great Wave off Kanagawa: Do you like the Ocean? <3

Hi Zippy! 🥰

I am far from the bold type 😩 but I would like to create literary and screen work that speaks to the masses 😌

And I love the ocean. I love sitting by the beach in the hot summer, but JUST went the sun is about to go down. Everyone is leaving, it's still warm, and you can listen to the waves with little interruption.

Thoughts

My thoughts are like nebula's, Constantly collapsing in on themselves. My thoughts are like busy commuters, Constantly bumping into one another, touching each other. My thoughts, my thoughts fueled by forests and clouds, Rain and sun, you and I. I am my thoughts and my thoughts they revel the deepest parts of me from the darkest corners that conjoin with the cloud like ones to create beauty and art -Desiray Turrell Send me a word and I'll write a poem!

Teen's Powerful Prom Dress Is a Tribute to Black Lives Matter

Milan Bolden-Morris was already a well-known basketball star at her West Palm Beach, Fla., high school, and will be taking her talents to Boston College later this year. But the 17-year-old became an Internet celebrity recently after she went viral for wearing a lavish prom dress that honored the Black Lives Matter movement.

Morris, a senior player for the Cardinal Newman High School varsity squad, wore a black backless gown with lace sleeves and a large photo of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old who was shot to death in 2012, on the dress’s skirt. The flowing piece also featured black-and-white photos of Sandra Bland and other individuals who were killed during police interactions on the dress’s train.

Yes I'm black. Yes I'm 17. Yes GOD is using me to convey a message that's bigger than me. #AllLivesMatter❤️ #BlackLivesMatter #MoveWithPurpose @oprah @steveharvey.tv @beyonce @chrisbrownofficial @badgalriri @tylerperry @kolyon @terrencetorrence @champagnepapi @liltunechi @bigsean @richforever @colinsmith23 @aliciakeys @kendricklamar @realcoleworld @kingjames

A post shared by Mimi ???????? (@_milan23_) on Apr 21, 2017 at 9:13pm PDT

Bolden-Morris shared images with her date on Instagram Friday, where it was immediately met with likes (more than 14,000 of them) and praise. “Beautiful concept and great all around message,” one commenter wrote. “This is amazing. So much emotion and power worn by a goddess,” Mariesha Desiray wrote. Another added, “Absolutely poignant, timely and … oh yes … Beautiful.”

However, while many are commending Bolden-Morris, she hardly takes any credit. “Honestly just the model for the dress. It was all my designer’s idea, Terrence Torrence, to convey this message and he asked if I wanted to help and of course I did,” she tells Yahoo Style. “The sole purpose was to convey his message, it was never about me or how I look in it, just the message.”

And although Bolden-Morris has received mostly positive feedback, she has still endured criticism for her statement. Still, she says, she doesn’t hold any ill will toward those who don’t approve of her fashion choice. “Many people have their opinions on the motives behind the dress, but all I can do is pray for them and know that our intentions were well,” she says. 

She also adds that while the dress clearly depicts the images of fallen African-Americans, “all lives matter” and that the loss of life is especially tragic when it’s unnecessary.

The high school student, who accepted a full ride scholarship to play hoops for the Division 1 squad, hopes to continue being an inspiration to others. “I hope to inspire others and help others to be courageous and strong in the things that they believe in,” she says. Bolden-Morris credits her strong faith in God as the reason she’s been empowered and blessed to achieve over the years.

Torrence, who works between West Palm Beach and Atlanta, told Essence that it took him four days to design the outfit and was pleased with the outcome. “It was powerful,” he said of his work. “It was art. It was surreal. It spoke volumes.”

Boyfriend who gave woman a karaoke mic for her birthday has no idea what he unleashed

Forget Hollywood: the only thing separating some people from stardom is a cheesy karaoke mic. 

19-year-old Desiray "Desire" Baptiste from Miami, Florida, recently received a karaoke mic from her boyfriend, Alex, for her birthday. Baptiste decided to Snapchat her experience trying out the Mic, and within hours, became internet famous.

Her experience on the mic, which she shared to Twitter, has received 21,000 retweets.

The video can be best described as high internet performance art. 

Watch for yourself.

Sooooo my boyfriend bought me a microphone... it's safe to say that was a big mistake 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/EhrH2U6Dyy

Obviously the internet did what the internet does best: lost total self-control.

@untamed_desire Not only is your announcer voice awesome, but your singing is absolutely beautiful

@untamed_desire @_Poochivicious you gonna be on Ellen

— Mr.Insufficent Funds (@jeremydvid) April 22, 2017

Baptiste says she's enjoying her viral moment of fame, but she's hoping to catapult it into something larger:

"I hope to escalate to a bigger scale of performing. I want to be a radio personality turned TV host, a singer, actress, comedian, all while maintaining my poetry. I just want to entertain," Baptiste said.

Mission: on its way to being completed.
