Also Dinadin is so fantastic. Grossman didn't just toss a trans knight in there he wrote a great character and if I think about him for too long I might cry

👍👍

Sama-sama! Terima kasih banyak atas apresiasinya, komunitas The Sims!

我很高興知道我的CC有中華，印尼，亞洲文化更好的代表性 👍

Karena orang Asia itu populasinya terbesar di dunia dan memiliki budaya yang khas di negara masing-masing. Jadi kalian orang Internasional, terutama Barat, juga belajar mengenali budaya, beradaptasi dan menghargai budaya Asia ya.

Reminder that Murfeelee & Dinadine are Western creators from USA, they both are Black girls. They are not Asian.

January + Feb Book Roundup

since i'm not using goodreads any more and also my memory is shit these days gonna try keeping track here this year!

A Memory Called Empire 4/5 (sci fi, great worldbuilding, very interesting MC)

Hearts of Oak 4/5 (sci fi, lovely creepy worldbuilding and vibes)

A Wizard's Guide To Defensive Baking 4/5 (such a fun and thoughtful take on many tropes; lays the seeds for her later more detailed books)

A Rulebook for Desperate Rogues ? DNF; too many anachronisms in the first two chapters

Three Cases for Mr. Campion ? DNF; weirdly gross way of speaking about women

The Dangers of Smoking In Bed 3/5 (very good bordering on horror)

Some Desperate Glory 5/5 (everyone who told me to read this was right etc run don't walk etc!)

Murder in Williamston 2/5 (not half as fun as I remember them being - a little too formulaic and suffers from not allowing the characters to grow/develop)

Grave Expectations 4/5 (VERY fun romp of a book! unexpectedly made me tear up at the end)

The September House 4/5 (horror but the kind of horror i can take where the narrator really holds and carries you through it)

The Ballad of Sir Dinadin 4/5 (i missed these books! i love arthuriana and these are such good classics. sidenote this was the first ace rep i ever read as a kid and i'll always bless it for that)

The Princess the Crone and the Dung-Cart Knight 4.5/5 (LOVE the difficult subjects being navigated here and the interweaving of different source materials. especially enjoyed the heavily implied throuple at the end.)

Parsifal's Page 3.5/5 (honestly didn't really remember this one that well but went back to read it bc my love said it was their fave of the OG tales and i liked it better than i remembered! even if the whole Fisher King scenario still infuriates me just out of principle)

The Scholomance 4/5 (love a naomi novik)

The Last Graduate 4/5 (we love a naomi novik where the characters slowly start to learn to love!)

The Golden Enclaves 5/5 (okay completely forgot i hadn't read this which means this was a complete surprise and so was the CANON GAYS hell yeah naomi u got there in the end!!!!!!!!!!)

Perilous Times 2/5 (listen it was a great premise! let itself down by being far too heavy-handed and using a deus ex machina at the end)

A Strange and Stubborn Endurance 5/5 (very glad i forgot to check the warnings before i read this or else i wouldn't have but DAMN if this didn't cradle me very gently in its arms and carry me safely through the deep waters. absolutely would recommend)

10 Things That Never Happened 2/5 (thank you to Morgan @crimsonclad for listening to my rantings re: alexis hall's books in general but this, to me, was not one of his finest efforts

Gaudy Night 10/5!!!!!!!! (book of my HEART dorothy l sayers you will always be famous even if you insist on putting enormous swaths of foreign language text with no translation in your books)

Busman's Honeymoon 10/5!!!!!!!!!!! (Aupres de ma blonde!!!! ivy trailing in hair! crying over Bunter! damn said distinctly! the port wine!)

Clouds of Witness 4/5 (you do love the Duchess but Peter has not yet been Wilfred-ized and is more of a caricature than his true self)

Whose Body? 4/5 (same as above)

Detection Unlimited 3/5 (a fun Heyer detection romp!)

The Dark Lord of Derkholm 4/5 (I'd forgotten most of this one and really enjoyed re-discovering it!)

The Year of the Griffin 5/5 (stayed up until 3 ack emma reading this rip my sleep schedule but i simply love a group of misfit friends!)

System Collapse 5/5 (MURDERBOT my BELOVED)

Everything on a Waffle 5/5 (i love polly horvath SO much. she treats all her characters and their loves and griefs with so much gentle dignity.)

Pe lângă plopii fără soț

Adesea am trecut;

Mă cunoșteau vecinii toți -

Tu nu m-ai cunoscut.

La geamul tău ce strălucea

Privii atât de des;

O lume toată-nțelegea -

Tu nu m-ai înțeles.

De câte ori am așteptat

O șoaptă de răspuns!

O zi din viață să-mi fi dat,

O zi mi-era de-ajuns;

O oră să fi fost amici,

Să ne iubim cu dor,

S-ascult de glasul gurii mici

O oră, și să mor.

Dându-mi din ochiul tău senin

O rază dinadins,

În calea timpilor ce vin

O stea s-ar fi aprins;

Ai fi trăit în veci de veci

Și rânduri de vieți,

Cu ale tale brațe reci

Înmărmureai măreț,

Un chip de-a pururi adorat

Cum nu mai au perechi

Acele zâne ce străbat

Din timpurile vechi.

Căci te iubeam cu ochi păgâni

Și plini de suferinți,

Ce mi-i lăsară din bătrâni

Părinții din părinți.

Azi nici măcar îmi pare rău

Că trec cu mult mai rar,

Că cu tristețe capul tău

Se-ntoarce în zadar,

Căci azi le semeni tuturor

La umblet și la port,

Și te privesc nepăsător

C-un rece ochi de mort.

Tu trebuia să te cuprinzi

De acel farmec sfânt

Și noaptea candelă s-aprinzi

Iubirii pe pământ.

🎶✨when u get this u have to put 5 songs u actually listen to, and publish. then, send this ask/tag 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) ✨🎶

Was tagged by @hazely-sims. Thank you, I feel the loveeee 🥰

I always have my music playlist in a crazy shuffle mode, and as it goes on I may skip one or more songs depending on my mood. So I'm listing the ones that I *almost* never skip when it comes.

*drumroll please*

I wasn't even born yet when this song was popular, but thanks to the huge age gap with my siblings I found myself growing fond of music from this decade. Feels like a nostalgia that you never had..

Yes, another song from the 80's. Though I only discovered it just two years ago, when I was playing GTA: Vice City Stories that features Phil Collins himself and this song. Then it just got stuck in my head days after, even memorizing the drum pattern at the near end of the song lol.

I first discovered Angela Aki when she sang a cover of FFVIII's 'Eyes on Me' and quickly fell in love with her. Then came this song and I loved her even more. I don't even have to translate the lyrics to know this is a great song.

The short version itself is already a masterpiece, but boy the additional five minutes even makes it ten times (pun intended) greater! Fun fact: I always use this song as a ten minute timer of everything.

Of all the story songs Taylor Swift has ever written, this one takes the number one spot for me. I really like the revenge-murder theme in it. Kinda unusual of T.S., but it worked.

So. Here it is. The hardest part of this kinda post...tagging someone hehehe. But yeah I'm gonna do it..

tagging these ten to appreciate the nice comments they've made throughout my posts..

Privesc acelasi ecran gol

Pe care candva scria “mi e dor”

Acum insa el sta stins

Eu il priveam dinadins

Sperând c-ai să fii atins

Sa-mi spui ca eu sunt pentru tine

Poate marea ta iubire

Dar tu nu mi-ai mai scris

Punctul iar tu mi l ai zis

Si am ramas sa stau mereu

Suspinând când îmi e greu

Thinking about him (Sir dinadin)

[themaresnest-dumblr]

Further to our post yesterday about some bumnugget attempting to hijack Simblreen for their own money making ‘Halloween Fest’, it turns out she’s got past history for making custom content over at Mod The Sims incorporating other people’s mods, but when complaints are made the thing doesn’t work, she makes no attempt at repairs.

Ho hum.

Read it for yourselves if interested, we’ve spent enough time on this crap without regurgitating it over on Dumblr again, when we could be playing with the new, and free goodies from a reputable modder.

Bottom line, anyone who gives that arseturnip a single penny or cent of their money had better not start crying if it doesn’t work - ‘cos that one-trick pony has past form for it - buyer be-VERY-ware!

testing...hmmm

This is Dinadin, my roleplay character for Spire. Super great rp system that anyone who likes DnD should try out.

a brief respite

"Have you considered not being such a violent prick all the time?" Mordred asks. He watches his cigarette smoke float away.

"No," Gawain answers, punctuated with a drag on Modred's stolen cigarette. "Someone has t'protect you when pacifism gets you in trouble."

"I'm not a pacifist. I fight when I need to."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

Mordred registers the gleam in Gawain's eyes too late. By the time he braces himself, Gawain's arm is already around his neck, tugging Mordred until he face plants into Gawain's chest. Gawain's knuckles rubbing at his scalp are more irritating than painful so Mordred's only half heartedly shoving at Gawain to get him to let go when Arthur cuts in—

"Should I be worried you two'll burn Camelot down if I leave you in charge?"

Gawain's fist leaves Mordred's head. His arm around Mordred's neck relaxes until it's wrapped loosely around Mordred's shoulders instead. Mordred straightens, but stays close enough to lean into Gawain's side.

"Nah, Peacemaker 'n' me'll do just fine, uncle. Who else could be my partner? No one else has the balls to say no to me."

Arthur's mouth is open to respond, but it's Dinadin's voice that drawls: "The height of irony, really—and not one of us misses it."

Mordred thinks Arthur's soul may have left his body along with his breath, the sigh he heaves is so great. And when Arthur's exasperated gaze cuts to him, it takes all of his willpower not to succumb to the laughter that's got hold of Gawain.

"Sorry." Mordred shrugs.

He doesn't sound very sorry at all.

Chapter 3 of “Heirs and Usurpers” is up! 

Summary:

Ambrosius' plotting begins (very slowly) to take shape due to the machinations of Gareth and Guinevere. Also, Dinadin puts his foot in his mouth, but removes it before any lasting harm is done.
