It is canon now that Solar is dating Neblua! Why ship him with everyone else? And didn’t NewMoon/Nexus claimed Solar as a Brother??? And didn’t Sun and Moon claim Solar as a Brother/Cousin? That’s gross man!

1) It’s Nebula. Spell my girls name correctly. 😌

2) Why yes it is Canon that they are dating now but it is also canon that Sun is straight and does not find any attraction to men whatsoever yet people still ship him with Eclipse, Solar, Ruin, Monty and any other male character and I see no one complain about that??

And yes while Nexus, Sun and Moon did claim Solar as family. They are not truly related to eachother. They are a found family. However there is still a thing of AUs or just you know. Shipping for fun. I think Moon made it quite clear that there is a vast of universes out there with a different root that was taken from the main. So what if Solar didn’t ask to be a Brother but instead fell in love with New Moon or Sun? It can work out.

Does it work out in canon? Nope but that’s ok! That’s the fun of AUs and shipping! Like I said in my post. I really like Solar and Eclipse as a ship. Do they interact in the show? Not at all except for a select few times but the few times they did. Eclipse sure said some stuff before to Solar and I just latched onto that like his line “Would you like me to get on hands and knees back there sweetie?” Even though I’m sure that was more to New Moon but in a way he said that to Solar too and just. ✨SHIP✨ lol

They don’t have chemistry. They hate eachother and if they did got together it probably just be them trying to one up eachother as they’re both Eclipses lol And I like that dynamic.

Really what I’m saying is. One can separate from canon and do their own thing as long as it’s not creepy or weird like having Solar call Sun “Brother” as he kissed him. That is WEIRD and WRONG. 🤢

So yeah. I can and like to ship the characters from my list with Solar cause I think it’s cool and it’s mainly for fun. I am not gonna push my ship onto others. As long you respect my likes I will respect your likes.

Simple as that. 💕

Free Day Friday: Trespasser

(From the poll: "In Which the Demolition Duo made it to the Wastelands without being banished because They Are Trespassing)

Damas was not, by and large, a religious man. He didn't worship Precursors -- there were some who insisted that his ousting from Haven was divine punishment for his arrogance -- nor spirits. If spirits could be killed, so could Precursors. That made them oracles, elders to be respected for unique perspectives on time, but not gods in Damas’s opinion.

Which made it an oddity to find him in the temple.

He sat on the shallow steps, staring up at the six carved heads meant to represent Precursors. More insectoid than Oracles, or perhaps just more elaborate. They seemed to wear headdresses over their bizarre masks.

"If you, by action or inaction, let Mar die, then at least have the decency to tell me," he whispered into the empty air.

"You always foretold a future moment of need that my House would answer. Has that need passed unnoticed that you stay silent while my bloodline ends? Or does my son live?"

The masks were silent, of course. Carved stone could neither hear nor speak.

Ungrateful wretches. Damas had a fleeting thought that perhaps they'd allowed -- or even orchestrated -- the abduction of his little son because he wasn't servile and "pious" enough for their tastes.

Damas wondered if spirits could harm Precursors. If perhaps the "Good Grandmother"*, She-Who-Hears-Them-Cry, might take an interest if something in this temple had been directly involved in bringing Mar to harm.

Má took her payment even from the hides of fellow spirits, after all.

"Even if you were capable of bringing him back unharmed, I very much doubt you would," Damas whispered harshly to the open air. His throat bobbed with a painful, bitter anger.

"But if you took him, you owe blood-debt to my House, old ones. So grant closure or sit in your realm knowing that I will seek answers among others as old as you."

Was it wise to threaten the Precursors? Damas neither knew nor cared anymore. Two years he'd barely survived having his heart metaphorically ripped out of his chest.

What more could they do to him? Really, what could they possibly do that could be worse than not knowing?

No answer arrived, not that it surprised him. Damas sighed and braced his elbows against his knees, head in his hands.

Stone grated against stone and metal to his left, and he turned his head swiftly.

There was a door there, one heavily fortified with traps. A hovering Sentinel eye kept watch for movement, designed to activate a spike trap if anyone tried to enter the lower levels without permission. And if someone managed to somehow get past that, the door would still be sealed. Whether by an enterprising ancestor of his or by meddling Precursors, that door could not be opened without an Heir of Mar. Damas was the only one who had ever been beyond it.

It should not have opened even an inch.

And yet Damas was witnessing the two mighty halves forcing themselves apart with a tortured groan born of idleness.

He was on his feet in an instant, ready for a fight. There was no chance that this heralded anything good.

"Whoa!"

That was a hu'men voice.

Damas’s hand hovered over his sidearm, ready to draw the moment he saw a face.

"And I thought this place was huge before!"

It was a young voice. High and a little squeaky.

"It just keeps going, doesn't it?" laughed a second voice, deeper, but just as young.

And then the doors were open wide enough to see the silhouette in between them.

And more importantly, to see the object glowing faintly in his outstretched fist.

Damas’s mouth was dry as he fumbled for the pouch between belt and leather armor where he kept his own amulet of Mar. He knew the shape by heart: twin comets orbiting each other, over stylized hands.

Thief-!

Pure, outraged, fury burned through his veins for a moment. Who had this scrawny figure stolen that amulet from? Heaven forbid it be Mar's amulet, lest Damas murder this boy before his very next step.

"Identify yourself!" Damas shouted, raising his gun.

The figure stepped into view. He was small, so thin his clothes hung loosely on scrawny limbs, but he held himself like a warrior.

"People!"

The animal curled around his shoulders sat upright and spoke.

"Jak! There's real people in here! We're saved!"

Odd reaction to a man pointing a gun at them.

The boy eased a step forward, hands raised as if soothing a frightened animal. He still held the incriminating amulet in his hand.

"Whoa, okay, put the gun down. I don't want to hurt anybody-"

He took a step too far and the sentinel flashed. The spikes shot up out of the floor with a faint shunk!

With a yelp, the boy leapt back -- he was surprisingly light on his feet for someone wearing boots two sizes too big. Then, as if the nearly fatal encounter was no more than a slight inconvenience, he backed up, got a running start, and launched.

He kicked off the wall, seeming to find handholds in the tiniest of crevices as he bypassed the spikes entirely.

Once on the ground again, the boy dusted himself off.

"You okay, Dax?"

"Just peachy, considering you almost dropped me!"

"Did not!" the hu'men boy protested in annoyance.

He really was small.

The general gangly sprawl of his limbs suggested he would gain an impressive height, but for now he just looked..small.

And entirely too excited.

"Who....do you- Where did you come from?" Damas demanded.

The boy pointed back down at the steps and shrugged before scratching his head.

"Exploring?"

Oh that green hair hurt to look at. It was filthy, and matted, like it hadn't been correctly washed in years. He couldn't even determine the age of the trespasser, what with the layers of grime embedded into every crevice of his face. The clothes were just as stained with sweat, dirt, and what looked to be bloodstains. From traps?

"Exploring."

Damas repeated the stranger's explanation incredulously. "How did you even get in here?"

The boy and the orange animal looked at each other for a curiously long moment. They seemed to be having a conversation merely by narrowing and widening their eyes in turn. Then, seeming to come to an agreement, they shrugged and turned back to face Damas.

The boy pointed down a barely visible flight of rough-hewn stone steps, lit by torches.

"We came up through the catacombs."

There were catacombs? He hadn't seen anything like that down there, and Damas liked to think he'd made it pretty far! He examined the stranger more closely, avoiding his eyes -- they're not familiar, you're just projecting your grief -- and avoiding looking at the talking weasel thing. He saw sunken cheeks drawn tightly against sharp cheekbones. A pale, barely visible scar across the bridge of his nose. Deep, deep shadows beneath his eyes. How large was the temple, altogether? Were there more people living below their feet?

"How...long were you down there?" he asked after a few seconds.

"Trust me pal," the weasel-rabbit said, "he smelled like this before we got in that zoomer."

"Hey!"

"What zoomer?!" Damas asked, feeling more confused than before.

"The one we took through the lava tube to the catacombs."

Damas was beginning to wonder if he'd somehow inhaled the monks' incense by accident.

The trespasser cringed as if only just noticing the bewildered and only barely softened hostility on Damas’s face. He shoved his amulet -- not his, it can't be his, there aren't any more of us left!*-- into his pocket and waved his hands placatingly.

Was there another Heir all this time? Is that why I was given no chance to protect Mar? Were my child and I expendable?

"Didn't mean to bother you," the kid apologized, "We'll just uh- huh. Actually, where are we?"

And then he looked to the door rather than Damas.

"Hey Oracle!" he shouted, and Damas was glad no monks were present to hear this and faint at the impertinance.

"Where the rot are we?"

Alright. This was now officially more of a problem than he'd first thought. Not even the monks were supposed to have found that Oracle down there.

One of the past Heirs who never inherited the throne had sealed it up the moment he discovered it long ago. After all, the discovery of light and dark eco being opposite poles of one energy might have thrown society into chaos and they didn't want to deal with the fallout. Even Damas was leery of reintroducing that knowledge outside of the Arena yet. Apparently this trespasser had no such thoughts.

He spoke to Oracles -- or pretended he did.

He held and used an amulet.

The boy was a mystery. And Damas hated not having the answers.

"You," Damas decided, wearing anger like a shield, "are coming with me. You have questions to answer."

The boy balked.

"No!"

He dodged before Damas could seize his arm, stumbling back amidst the columns.

"Uh-uh, I'm not falling for that."

"Falling for what?"

Damas was genuinely confused, and more than a little irritated.

The boy continued to back away.

"No, no I know how this goes. You're gonna take me back to the Haven Council, aren't you!"

*

"Haven?!" Damas sputtered, "Why the bleeding rot would I want to go there?! I'm taking you to my city!"

That didn't reassure the kid, who apparently was not fond of the leaders of Haven City.

Well, that was at least a bare minimum of common ground.

"You ain't takin us to no secondary location!" the orange one declared, pointing a skinny digit at Damas.

"The last time I got transported to a new place, I got kidnapped and experimented on for two years," his friend agreed.

Embleer Frith.

Damas stared at the boy. He squinted, as if that would give him insight into the unsettling response, then shook his head.

"You what?!"

What was he talking about? Experimented on?! That would explain the sudden shift from curiosity to distrust. But why-?

Damas knew. Deep down, he thought he knew.

If the boy was an Heir -- and he didn't even want to entertain the thought, but it had to be acknowledged as a possibility -- then that alone would be motive for someone like Praxis to torture even a young man -- or young boy?

If he was still obsessed with creating the ultimate war-sage, then an unclaimed and unattended Heir of Mar would be invaluable.

But if Praxis had been so focused on an older Heir, then perhaps it at least meant that he'd never gotten his hands on Mar.

That there was a stab of shame to follow that whisper of relief was an unsettling proof that he had not successfully hardened his heart as much as he'd thought.

"You came here from Haven?" he asked.

"Yeah?"

Thoughts of a breach in their defenses sickened him.

"And others will follow in pursuit of you?"

This time both trespassers scoffed.

"Only if they feel like sharpening their reaction time enough for a volcanic subrail," the hu'men said. He almost smiled.

The orange one nodded. "Jak here's the best driver there is! Also the most demolition-happy, but nobody's perfect."

Jak?

Now that was a name his spies had been mentioning a lot in their reports. An alleged juggernaut who had turned the Baron's own secret project against him and -- rumor had it -- even destroyed the metalhead nest.

Damas had been expecting someone a little...older.

* the "Good Grandmother" Damas is referencing is a spirit I made up for the Wasteland called Má Crocadeer. Fairly grisly figure with a crocadeer skull wreathed in flowers for a head, and a crocadeer's legs and tail. Her purpose is to punish those who deliberately cause or inflict harm on children. There's a lot of people in Haven who should avoid the desert for this reason.

Introduction: Coin Dispensers in the Digital Age

In a world leaning toward digital transactions, many business owners ask: Are coin dispensers still relevant in 2025? The short answer is yes—and more than ever, businesses across laundromats, car washes, and vending operations are turning to modern coin dispensers to bridge the gap between cash reliance and operational efficiency.

For industrial business owners in the USA, the evolution of eco-friendly quarter dispensers presents a compelling blend of traditional convenience and sustainable innovation.

Why Modern Coin Dispensers Remain Essential

Despite the surge in cashless payments, over 18% of all transactions in the U.S. are still made in cash. That means many businesses—especially those operating in high-volume, low-ticket environments—must still manage physical currency efficiently.

A modern coin dispenser ensures:

Fast, reliable coin distribution

Reduced wait times at self-service terminals

Enhanced customer satisfaction

Fewer staff hours spent handling change

Whether you're running a laundromat in Chicago or a car wash in Texas, a robust coin system is still part of your bottom line.

Sustainability Meets Practicality: The Rise of Eco-Friendly Quarter Dispensers

Today's business owners are not only looking for efficiency—they’re demanding sustainability. That’s where the eco-friendly quarter dispenser comes in.

These upgraded machines are:

Energy-efficient with low-power standby modes

Built from recyclable materials or with minimal plastic parts

Designed for durability, reducing the need for frequent replacements

Manufactured with low-emission standards

By investing in sustainable coin machines, you're not only reducing your environmental footprint but also attracting eco-conscious customers—a growing consumer segment in 2025.

Hybrid Systems: Bridging Cash and Digital Payments

Another reason modern coin dispensers remain relevant is their role in hybrid payment ecosystems. Modern systems now support:

Coin payout and digital balance tracking

Integration with RFID cards, mobile apps, and POS terminals

Real-time tracking for inventory and coin flow

This makes the future of coin machines adaptive rather than obsolete.

How Coin Dispensers Reduce Operational Costs

Here’s how coin dispensers make business sense in 2025:

✅ Lower labor costs – No need for manual change management ✅ Increased customer throughput – Faster service = more business ✅ Secure transactions – Locked hoppers and tamper-proof designs ✅ Reduced maintenance – Especially with the newer, eco-friendly quarter dispensers

Many operators report a 10–15% increase in customer satisfaction after upgrading to modern coin systems.

Long-Term Value for Industrial Business Owners

For American businesses that still rely on coins—laundromats, arcades, amusement centers, and vending operations—modern coin dispensers are not a dying technology. They're a strategic investment. They deliver:

Longevity

Compatibility with legacy and new systems

Support for cash-heavy industries

Investing in a quarter dispenser built for 2025 ensures you’re not chasing trends—you’re planning ahead.

Q&A Section

Q: Are coin dispensers becoming obsolete with digital payments? A: Not at all. Many industries still rely on cash, and modern dispensers now integrate hybrid payment features that future-proof your business.

Q: What makes a coin dispenser "eco-friendly"? A: Features include energy-saving modes, recyclable materials, and low-maintenance engineering that reduces waste.

Q: How do I choose the best coin dispenser for my business? A: Look for durability, coin capacity, ease of use, and sustainable features. Brands like Lynde Ordway’s modern coin dispensers are trusted by industrial operators across the USA.

Final Thoughts: The Future of Coin Machines

The future of coin machines isn't about clinging to the past—it's about evolving with it. As long as cash has value, modern coin dispensers will remain a critical part of many businesses. By choosing an eco-friendly quarter dispenser, you're aligning your operations with the values of efficiency, responsibility, and forward-thinking.

I made my friend fix a few broken traits as I got tired of dealing with the stuttering they gave me with moodlets nor did I want to take them out. I swear I'm the only one that ever had this issue with anything as no one else ever has a clue about it, but WHATEVER, my Sims can have all the mood swings they want and any game lag now is by means I have no idea of and don't care to fix. Why are some worlds or districts of worlds laggier than others. I don't know. I also don't care, just don't go to them often, easy, problem solved.

“we often have to explain to young people why study is useful. it’s pointless telling them that it’s for the sake of knowledge, if they don’t care about knowledge. nor is there any point in telling them that an educated person gets through life better than an ignoramus, because they can always point to some genius who, from their standpoint, leads a wretched life. and so the only answer is that the exercise of knowledge creates relationships, continuity, and emotional attachments. it introduces us to parents other than our biological ones. it allows us to live longer, because we don’t just remember our own life but also those of others. it creates an unbroken thread that runs from our adolescence (and sometimes from infancy) to the present day. and all this is very beautiful.”
