Jungle - Dominoes

I’m always excited for every new Jungle music video. The one take mixed with the choreo just elevates the underlying music track. It’s also nice to see familiar dancers from previous tracks and new ones coming along for the ride.

Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 70 (The Youngest Nesbitt Gets Married!)

It was a sunny, if chilly, autumn day in Henford-on-Bagley when Heather's youngest sister, Hazel, married Nicola Moody-McMillan, her high school sweetheart.

Incidentially, they married on Prank Day, which meant plenty of off-vibe mischief all afternoon.

Nicola's parents, Eddie and Kim, hosted the wedding at their home in the Bramblewood - a simple ceremony under a woodsy wedding arch placed beneath a tall oak in their backyard. Not far away laid the graves of Nicola's grandfathers, Ian and Derek, who had died a few years earlier in a riverboat cruise disaster.

It was a beautiful ceremony, but a cloud of dust kicked up as soon as the guests started blowing bubbles to celebrate the newlyweds! Nicola's mother, Kim, had taken the spirit of Prank Day to heart and started fights with multiple guests! "Mom!" Nicola cried. "This is a wedding, not a bar fight!" She was so embarrassed.

But her mother could not be controlled! (I was actually controlling her - it's OG Kim Goldbloom - but ignoring her to focus on the brides, and she picked three fights before I smartened up!) She started a few scuffles with unsuspecting guests, laughing uncontrollably each time she successfully executed her "pranks."

But the worst was when she jumped Hazel's dad, Neal. The successful civic designer and eco-innovator was having none of Kim's pranks, even if she was hosting their daughters' special day. He slapped her right back and man, these vibes are not it!

"Kim, my love, have some water." Finally, Eddie convinced his wife to cool off, and the guests changed into warmer attire before moving on to the food. Toddler cousins Ash and Michael, River and Cassandra's son, babbled away with each other in the backyard.

"So girls, will you both be starting work soon or enjoying married life for a while?" asked Daisy as she reached for a plate.

"We're going to enjoy being newlyweds for a few weeks, but Nicola will be a teacher's assistant at Henford Elementary when school starts up, and my internship with Mayor Varner starts soon."

"Are you going to be the mayor of Henford someday?" Uncle Karl considered the idea with pride on his face, but Hazel shook her head.

"My political goals are a bit more international," she admitted. "But for now I'm happy to stay home in Henford to get more experience."

"And they need teachers everywhere!" said Nicola with a loving smile to her new wife.

The brides saved money by asking Heather to take their wedding photos. She wasn't particularly good at photography and didn't even enjoy it, but Heather would do anything for her siblings - especially Hazel. She'd never say no to her 'friendship bracelet bestie,' and she snapped a beautiful portrait of the girls before sunset. They posed under a tree in the rock garden Hazel's mother, Daisy, had helped Nicola's grandfathers design years earlier.

"Did you want to switch sides?" asked Nicola, noting the burns on Hazel's right arm. She'd had them ever since she'd survived the Nesbitts' freak toilet fire as a child, but they'd never made confident Hazel self-conscious.

"They don't define me. If I wanted to hide them I'd have worn a long-sleeved dress."

When Heather and Conrad returned to Brindleton at the end of the night, he pulled her in for a kiss as they were enthusiastically greeted by Mayor Whiskers and Queen Cupcake. "Do you ever think about marriage?" he asked.

"I don't know. I know I love you and I'm committed to you. What difference does a piece of paper make?"

Conrad kissed her cheek. "I love you, too. I don't need a piece of paper to tell me we're a team."

They were happy. To Heather and Conrad, that's all that really mattered. ->

<- Previous Chapter | Gen 2 Start | Gen 1 Summary | Gen 1 Start

NOTE: I made all the Henford NPCs playable as soon as the game started, then made their replacements playable if and when there was story for it (like Heather's friend Dylan, who was the replacement NPC grocer until I aged her up to YA and she married Gavin Richards). Kim became the adopted daughter of Ian and Derek. Nicola and her brother both ended up looking a lot like their townie dad and not much like Kim at all, though. Ah well!

NOTE 2: Is Hazel wearing the same wedding dress as Holly in a slightly different poorly-rendering shade of white? Yes and I noticed it when writing this post. 🙃

NOTE 3: I'm not going for torture with the 'we don't need a piece of paper' thing, but the Gen 2 rules say Heather isn't supposed to get married! I already broke the rule that Gen 2 was supposed to hate the idea of relationships and only ever fail at them in addition to never marrying, but I don't know if I should go all in on breaking every rule. I'm hoping with their soulmate status it won't lead to anyone up and marrying someone else if I rotate for a day or two.

Adahm brutally murders someone until they're shreds and then flips the switch immediatly to be the most loving brother to Taylen in the most jarring way possible to anyone else around them.

Riley scares everyone with his freaky intellect.

Saoirse gets uncomfortable around mentions of fire or doesn't know how to feel about being friends with a fire mutant.

Rhys and Gwyn make their half-brother Adrien age at least ten years spiritually every time they pull off another insane shenanigan.

Luke has more street cred than most hardened criminals

Max blows out someone's eardrums and/or brains out with her scream powers and then panickedly calls her dad to help her deal with the aftermath with a movie night.

Keilly wonders how TF she got stuck with this group of fucked up weirdos as her friends and is Done With Life at the fact her powers make her the designated healer.

Karima is the most neurotic yet most efficient sniper alive <3

Dylan worries about money and has a pessimistic/Grumpy As Hell outlook to anything in life

Liam & Savvy spend the entire day at the arcade and/or possibly get into a brawl with the local bullies right after

Amy feels creeped out by the woods and the town

The Millhan siblings have a horror movie night or make a horror movie reference

Conner makes cowboy analogies and speaks with a heartwarming sourthern drawl

Savvy has a panic attack and hides it under her temper like a fucked up pressure cooker

Erin just wants to have one normal day but the universe says NOPE ✨

Mrs. Draycott is a creepy stalker that deserves to rot in hell

Some random townsfolk says something ominous, eerie or out of place behind a doll-like smile like nothing is happening

Christine indulges in chaos and generally just lives in her own little world

Zach is listening to music on his old headphones and bopping his head to it

The ghost kids make you want to cry and give them a hug and murder the Mayor just like he killed them---

Dylan doesn't know how to express his feelings and would essentially win the Emotionally Stunted Award for the year

Something really traumatizing happens and Indie is just having the time of her life

How’re the RO’s perceived by the rest of the town? What’re their reputations? Also, if it isn’t too much of a spoiler, can we find out a little more about the other murder victims?

How’re the RO’s perceived by the rest of the town? What’re their reputations?

Jules : envied as equally as they were loved.

Jessica, Heather : the perfect daughters.

Aiden : the mayor's wayward son.

Mia : Not well liked by the adults. Quite a conservative town. They are not fond of the beautiful young lady's "attitude."

Dylan : His peers don't like him too much. He's hard to get along with but if there is something everyone does agree on it's his extraordinary intellect.

Warren : parents point a not so subtle finger at him and whisper to their kids, 'you will become like him if you don't do well in school' (assholes)

Also, if it isn’t too much of a spoiler, can we find out a little more about the other murder victims?

NOPE!

Пожалуй, Дилан Сигворт — самый невозмутимый персонаж во всем Стрейнджервиле. Даже краткий эпизод ŌΔĘpЖЙΜŌČŦЙ никак не отразился на его жизни и повседневных занятиях! Успешно игнорируя тиранию мэра, грубость военных, истерики ученых и бред конспирологов, Дилан целиком и полностью посвящает себя любимым хобби — домашней выпечке и ракетостроению. Глядя сквозь пальцы на суетную реальность и мечтая о величественном космосе, этот парень не может и подумать о том, что настоящие чудеса Сиксима находятся гораздо ближе к нему, чем он может себе представить.

Свой день рождения Дилан встретил в кругу самых близких и дорогих ему людей — жены и дочки. Праздник получился таким же тихим и домашним, как и он сам — мирные, уютные посиделки за столом с чаем и шоколадным тортом. В подарок Дилан получил винтажный телескоп (от Джесс) и ультра-современную вафельницу (от Кристы). А после того, как умница-дочь сделала все уроки и легла спать, супруги Сигворт отправились в головокружительный романтический полет!

english text below the cut

(Perhaps Dylan Sigworth is the most unflappable sim in all of Strangerville. Even a brief episode of ƤØŞŞ€ŞŞƗØŇ did not affect his life and daily activities in any way! Successfully ignoring the tyranny of the mayor, the rudeness of the military, the tantrums of scientists and the nonsense of conspiracy theorists, Dylan devotes himself entirely to his favorite hobbies — homemade baking and rocket science. Turned a blind eye to the vain reality and dreaming of the majestic cosmos, this guy cannot even think that the real wonders of Sixam are much closer to him than he can imagine.

Dylan celebrated his birthday with his closest and dearest people — his wife and daughter. The birthday turned out to be as quiet and homely as he was — cozy gatherings at the table with tea and chocolate bisquit. As a gift, Dylan received a vintage telescope (from Jess) and an ultra-modern waffle maker (from Christie). And after their clever daughter did all her homework and went to bed, the Sigworth couple went on a dizzying romantic flight!)

Israel holds municipal elections; war on Gaza affects turnout and mood

Israelis are divided over the war and their opinions of the government, resulting in a low turnout and higher tensions.

Tel Aviv, Israel – Israelis voted on Tuesday to elect mayors and local council members in 197 towns and cities and 45 regional council representatives.

Voting started at 7 am, and will carry on until 10 pm, in elections that have been delayed twice, from October 31 to January 31 then to Tuesday, due to Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza.

Seven million Israelis are eligible to vote, including tens of thousands who voted from active military duty in Gaza or the Israeli bases where they are stationed.

Turnout has been lower than in the last elections in 2018, according to estimates by the Ministry of Interior throughout the day.

Protests continue

The months leading up to the elections have been tumultuous ones for Israelis with mass protests throughout 2023 against changes to the judiciary that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government was trying to push through.

Different protest movements have continued throughout the war: Families of Israelis taken captive by Palestinian fighters on October 7 have protested to demand the government negotiate for their return, merging at times with antiwar protests and antigovernment protesters.

Among the most closely watched races is the one for Jerusalem’s mayor, in which incumbent Moshe Lion is widely expected to beat his challenger Ofer Berkovitch.

On HaBima Square in Tel Aviv, Al Jazeera spoke to several liberal activists protesting against Israel’s war on Gaza.

Israeli American protester Addam said liberals like him face a lot of hostility, which was the reason he chose not to disclose his last name, fearing vigilantes and Israeli authorities who have repressed antiwar protests recently.

Dozens of protesters marched with signs reading: “War is a crime and nationalism kills” and “Stop the ethnic cleansing.”

A large banner just had “30,000” written on it, referencing the number of people Israel has killed in the latest war in Gaza.

“This war is a choice we [as Israelis] are making,” Addam said.

“There has been a weaponisation of people’s grief after October 7,” he added, describing being confronted during a protest by a young Israeli woman who shouted: “Soldiers are dying for you all. Shame on all of you.”

Antiwar protesters in Tel Aviv on February 27, 2024 [Mat Nashed/Al Jazeera]

Tamy Pollak, an activist and socialist who lives in the mixed Palestinian-Israeli city of Yafa (Jaffa), says the outcome of these elections will be important in determining whether calm is restored in mixed cities.

She worries about far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who she said has been weaponising Jewish civilians in mixed cities.

Fear of right-wing gains

In downtown Tel Aviv, Deputy Mayor Meital Lehavi held a megaphone, rallying voters to ensure that a far-right party does not take more seats on the local council.

Security officials stand guard in Tel Aviv during a protest to mourn the dead in Gaza on February 27, 2024, [Dylan Martinez/Reuters]

“Right now, [Tel Aviv] has an open society, but [if the right wing does well], then things can be different here,” she told Al Jazeera.

Plia Kettner, a 39-year-old former member of the local council in Kfar Saba in the suburbs of Tel Aviv, believes the war is distracting – even discouraging – people from voting.

“Some of the national rhetoric has filtered into the local election campaigns”, polarising people, she said

“At the beginning, nobody was against the war,” she told Al Jazeera.

“But if you ask people on the street, 50 percent of people will say that they want to [get a deal with Hamas] to get the hostages back, and 50 percent will say that Israel must keep going to destroy Hamas.”

Results are expected a few days later.

[star-stable-tournaments]

Have you ever thought to yourself: Yee howdy, I wish I could know what everyone thinks of my favorite character, and I also wish we could all definitively rank them in popularity based on the whims of the public? Then do I have the thing for you!

Right out the gate, it's time to vote for favorite characters. The votes for favorite NPC (human) and favorite NPC (other) will be running alongside each other, with the vote for NPC (other) starting a little later to make them both finish at the same time and end in an epic dual victory.

I have chosen to split them up because there's a lot of NPC's and we can expedite the process somewhat by having separate tournaments running alongside each other.

Humanoid creatures such as Pandorians residing in the circus will be counted as humans because that's how they choose to present and I will respect that.

Certain conditions apply regarding characters added to SSO just to host races, NPC's that are named but do not take part in quests, and characters from earlier games. these characters will not partake because the list is so. long. already.

Every poll will be accompanied by a picture and a brief description to refresh your memory, so don't worry if you can't remember them just by name! If you have any concerns or can't see your favorite NPC anywhere, send a message or an ask.

The first NPC (human) tournamnet will take place over 3 sessions of 40 posts per week, because it's 120 posts and I don't want to overwhelm you with that many posts. Once we've narrowed it down to 60 favorites it will be split into 2 sessions, and once we've only got 30 contestants left, I'll post them all in one go until a winner is declared. That's also when the NPC (other) polls will be posted.

[sweetygirl90]

Esto de recordar a mis OCs me dio gracia, porque cuando digo que cambiaron mucho es porque CAMBIARON MUCHO.

Dylan literal pasó de maldad, perversión y ser irredimible a: ANSIEDAD. Ah, y a ser un buen hermano y persona en general, obvio. PERO SOBRE TODO ANSIEDAD.

Y Kendall de ser depresión, repeler gente con su mal carácter y frialdad es ahora el señor popularidad, aspirante a actor, el centro de atención, sE VOLVIÓ UNA DIVA, QUÉ-

Gustavo no cambió mucho porque sigue pana, pero ahora es pobretón, tiene una hermana más, y lo dejé huérfano JAJAJAJA

Ah, y Linda es la bestie de Kendall. La típica amiga que se quiere servir a tu hermano mayor, she's so silly.

Y SE ACUERDAN DE VICTOR???? Bueno, de ser el mayordomo alcahuete de John es el segundo papá de los pibes, quién lo diría.

Sims In Bloom: Generation 1 Pt. 11 (Buttercup's Lament)

Soon after the Nesbitts returned to Henford, Hazel started grade school and Heather returned to Sherman Bagley High. For weeks Heather was sad and depressed but wouldn’t talk about it, no matter how close she was to her parents and no matter how much they wanted to cheer her up. Eventually, Daisy figured out the reason after a visit to the Pancakes to check on Annette and Elizabeth, where Everett was flirting endlessly with Spencer Kim-Lewis, his new girlfriend.

Heather had long harboured a crush on her lifelong best friend, and his affection for their mutual close friend Spencer caught Heather off guard. She didn’t want to lose either of them as friends, but she hated seeing them kiss and flirt in the hallways at school. She tried to pretend it bothered her far less than it did, claiming she was happier single and focusing on her skills. She still entered video game tournaments regularly and even placed third in a few, but this hardly earned enough for vet classes. She resolved to get even better.

One night she babysat for her siblings while her parents joined Bob and Annette for a double date at the Spice Festival in the city, but loner Bob came home early, always overwhelmed by crowds. He was a little bit drunk, sniffing the flowers in the laneway behind Cobblebottom Street, and whatever came over Heather would require years of therapy for her to unpack. At least she recognized it – but flirting with Everett’s sauced father was a low point for her. She was grateful no one witnessed it, and more grateful still when Bob woke up hungover with no memory of what Heather had said to him. Even Heather wanted to forget. She’d never make Everett see what he was missing through his own father’s eyes, and her naivete filled her with self-loathing.

Soon after, she made a point to talk things through with Spencer. Spencer liked Everett, Everett liked Spencer, and Heather cared about them both. Resolving to get over him once and for all, Heather threw herself into video game tournaments – she even finished second in one for Incredible Sports and made 450 simoleons. Even though she was outgoing and made friends easily, she was single and loved it, too. When she wasn’t gaming, she was building plugins and practicing programming while teaching herself lab work on the vet station in the yard. The second vet station, to be exact, after River’s good friend Carlton Bell set the first one on fire in an experiment gone wrong.

The Nesbitts travelled to San Myshuno for a double celebration – attending Geekcon as a family and to celebrate Holly becoming a teenager. Holly was the only Nesbitt to get Daisy’s blonde hair, but she had Neal’s hazel eyes, just like brunette Heather. Holly was a generous soul, but she was spoiled. All the Nesbitt children were, but Neal and Daisy wouldn’t apologize. Their kids worked hard, and they had a blast together in the city. After the festival ended, they wandered uptown to Myshuno Meadows to check out the observatory and disaster memorial garden. Heather remembered to get a photo of the skyline for Dylan Kraus, a school friend who worked as a grocery deliverer for Abby Goldbloom and dreamed of a world beyond Henford after high school. Dylan was also the new mayor’s daughter, and Susan Richey-Kraus thought the best place for Dylan was the town where she served as mayor. Dylan strongly disagreed.

Would Heather be able to get past her feelings for Everett and focus on other interests? ->

Let's go!!! This is the first character introduction post for What Lurks In The Hollow, Amy - the story's central character.

If you like this, pls reblog! 💕

🎞️About/General Info🎞️

A sixteen-year old highchool student, Amy Millihan moved back to her eerie childhood hometown - Vinethorn Grove - with her older brother after the death of their toxic grandmother left them with only debt, forcing them to leave the big city - where they'd lived for almost a decade - and go back to their long since abandoned roots. What she expected to be a calm clean slate for the two of them during the peaceful vacation period of the Harvest Break, swiftly takes a darker turn as an ancient curse and a string of mysterious murders/disappearances begins to unravel, revealing that, underneath the small town's apparently normal surface lie bloody, and paranormal, secrets. With the lives of her and everyone she cares about on the line, finding a way to thwart this ancient curse and defeat the Mayor's corrupt family traditions, may be their only chance to survive.

🎞️ More Info 🎞️

Pronouns - She/Her Age - Sixteen Appearance - Amy has long, wavy brown hair, which she usually keeps loose or - on rare occasions - tied into a ponytail or braid. She is average height, and usually favors pastel clothes with fun patterns, especially long sleeve shirts (the kind that the sleeve is a difference color/hue than the shirt's body) and light denim pants, and usually wears purple sneakers with star patches, being a big fun of space themed stuff. She usually rides a pastel yellow bike with a straw basket, and sometimes has her backpack on her to carry things she needs. Amy has a self defense baseball bat she takes with her when investigating or going places she deems unsafe.

General Dislikes/Hates:

Prejudiced people who treat others as lesser just because they don't understand them. That also includes small-minded people, especially elders who think that anything that strays from 'tradition' is bad or not good enough.

Anyone who makes a big deal out of something simple that could easily be solved or explained otherwise without much of a fuss.

People who spread harmful or unwanted humors about others, especially if the intent is to discredit them.

Feeling unsafe or uncertain about a situation or about a certain outcome, worrying that something out of her control might go wrong.

People wasting money like its nothing - reminds her of Edith and not in a good way.

Amy despises Mrs Draycott with the strenght of a thousand suns and hopes that 50-year old creep rots in the hell she must've crawled out of 💀🔥

Another person Amy hates is Zach's stepfather (when she learns about the boy's past), and she has VERY GOOD REASONS to.

Excessive summer heat or when the sun is too bright

Corny country songs
