I drew another pic from another adorable Jon & Martin scene on the RP discord server where I play Martin and @superqueerdanver plays Jon. I probably put way too much time into this one (Like 3+ days worth of drawing, coloring, & shading) but oh well lol

Below the pic is the scene (edited a little so that it's easier to read & understand)

Please click the pic for better quality! And reblogs are always better than likes <3

Jon sits nervously on a park bench, holding a bouquet of green carnations. He texts Martin, hoping he isn't busy. After just a few minutes of waiting, Martin strolls down the main path, his face brightening when he sees Jon. He heads over with a wave. "Hey! You, um, you wanted to see me?

Jon stands up and holds out the flowers, blushing. "I read once that gay men used to give each other green carnations, and Oscar Wilde liked them, and I'm not technically gay, or exactly a man, but..."

Martin takes the flowers, gazing at them in awe. "Jonnn, that's really sweet! You didn't have to..." He cradles them delicately, like they are something very precious. "I don't think anyone's ever given me flowers before, let alone ones so meaningful... Thank you." He begins blushing too

"I... um... you're welcome. And they should! You're really... you deserve... nice things," Jon replies, thinking sarcastically to himself, 'so eloquent.' Why can't he get his words right? With the flowers out of his hands, he fidgets with his cane, running his fingers over the sticker on the handle.

Martin shifts the bouquet to one hand and suddenly hugs Jon very tightly. He holds onto him, hoping that Jon doesn't notice him sniffling slightly. Jon hugs him back, grateful for the chance to hide his face.

Martin slowly pulls away, rubbing quickly at his eyes with his sleeve. "Would you... Wanna take a walk?" he holds out his free hand for Jon to take. Jo nods, quickly wipes his hand on his trousers, then takes Martin's hand.

"There's, um. Some other flowers in there too," Jon informs Martin. upon closer inspection, the bouquet also contains apple blossoms and purple lilacs. "Apple blossoms mean preference, and..." he looks down, blushing more. "Purple lilacs mean new love. At least according to one source I found. There are so many websites about flower symbolism, and so many of them contradict each other, and I don't know how to fact-check that sort of thing, and..." he trails off.

Martin examines the bouquet because he's not sure he can look at Jon without crying again. When Jon explains the lilacs, he squeezes his hand, grinning in a way that Michael would be jealous of. "How are you so thoughtful?" he asks, only half joking. Jon's not sure he can put a sentence together to answer that, so he just squeezes Martin's hand back.

Martin smells the bouquet and thinks about what he has that he can use for a vase when he gets them home. He sets a leisurely pace as he walks down the path. Holding Jon's hand. In public. Oh no he's blushing and grinning like a fool again and there's nothing he can do to stop it.

"I'm, ah. I'm glad you like them," Jon says shyly.

"Of course! I mean, how could I not?" He finally feels like looking at Jon won't make him explode into a flurry of glitter and hearts, so he does so. "When did you have time to do this?"

Jon smiles back. "I ordered them online during lunch, and then I left early to pick them up."

Martin's jaw drops. "You left early? To do something sweet for me?"

"I do leave work sometimes, it's not that unusual," Jon replies. Except it is, of course... He swings Martin's hand a little as they enjoy a walk together through the park.

If anyone wants to join the server where this scene took place, I think the only canon characters that are claimed are Jon, Martin, Elias, Michael (Distortion), and Rosie. We all have fun OCs as well. We're not super canon-strict, but we're roughly somewhere in season 2. It's a minor-friendly server, so no sexual content allowed and there is a list of things that need to be spoilered with trigger warnings, but everyone is really nice and fun to play with! If you want to join, send me a DM and I can send you an invite.

If you want to RP with me personally, feel free to DM me as well. I'm open to all kinds of scenes. I'm not a minor and don't really have any triggers, so pretty much anything goes <3

[ID: It's a digitally drawn and colored picture of Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood from The Magnus Archives podcast. Jon a short, skinny, non-binary person with dark skin, dark hair with grey streaks, and wearing a green button down shirt and grey slacks. He is wearing square rimmed glasses and using a cane with a bisexual flag sticker on the handle and he is blushing. Martin is a taller and heavier-set man with fair skin and freckles, auburn hair, and is wearing a red long sleeved shirt and blue jeans. He is wearing round-rimmed glasses and is holding his hands over his mouth in awe at the bouquet of flowers that Jon is handing to him. There are tears in his eyes. The bouquet has primarily green carnations but also has purple lilacs and light pink apple blossoms. End ID]

Woah Babe! I am in awe seeing your Altair in Sims! How is it even possible? Did you create him with the help of some skins? His clothes are not that bad! I have seen worse. Have you made Amara too? I don’t remember when I played Sim last time! I got a new computer so I can finally do anything on it. I thought about buying Sims 4, because of their latest expansion pack. Like.. Imagine having a cow! But in the end I bought The Witcher games, because I have never played them and I enjoyed the books and soundtracks. To be honest, The Witcher soundtracks are my favorite amongst other game soundtracks and if you didn’t pay attention to music I can recommend you many fantastic songs!

My first thought at your story was.. You were attacked by what?! It took me a few moments to process how it was even possible. Think of it bears are not popular “animal mascots” if I can put it like that. But then it made me extremely sad. Bear on a chain leash. I know the story is exciting on its own but the thought that people are this cruel to animals makes me want to cry. I understand your aversion tho. It must have been a really scary experience, especially because you were a kid then!

Bulgaria! I have never been there, but I would love to. They are known for their rose cosmetics and I love its scent! How many times have you been there already? What makes you love this country this much?

Turkey is beautiful! I have been there and it was an incredible experience! If I had the opportunity I would go back there without a second thought, so if you ever have the opportunity to visit this country - GO! Egypt? Maybe it’s because I had really high expectations, but it disappointed me a lot. It’s dirty, people are pushy. But the coral reef is worth seeing! For sharing adventures I can say that I almost had a heart attack and collision with a sea turtle!

As for my travel plans - I have a lot! I don’t know if I could ever make it to some places tho! I would love to see Japan too! Since I remember I've wanted to go to Takarazuka theatre! For sure I would love to go back to Iceland. And I will go back, even if it were my last and only one journey. I am in love with this country with all my heart! And I am hyping over it as much as over my dog lol. I love hot weather, even when it is extreme for most people. But if I have to choose, I would choose to see the Arctic and Scandinavia. To see northern lights. To see milky way once again. And maybe go to Labrador Peninsula and find labradorite stone of my own! And Costa Rica just to go to Territorio de Zaguates and adopt all the dogs. Eh, some dreams have to remain just dreams.

Is there something particular you want to see in countries you would like to visit one day?

As for spicy food - I admire such skill! I guess you like spicy food and spicy content <winks>

Heavens, I can’t believe I respond to all messages! Sorry for divide our conversation into so many threads!

🔪

I'm glad you like him! Yes, I have like 20GB of CC for sims 3. Skins, eyes, make-up, sliders, clothes, objects. I spend a long time on him, especially that HIS FACE. THERE IS NO PIC OF HIS FACE AS A WHOLE. So I used to picture of the Altair figure I found. Honestly, If they made Altair in modern graphic he would be the sexiest of them all. I used to have Amara too but I don't have a picture ;; But if you want I can make one for you! And I have a cow in sims3! And it gives chocolate milk! ANd in all honesty. I won't but sims 4 because... I'm waiting for sims 5 >.<

The Witcher series is really great tho I haven't played Witcher 3 yet. YET.

As for bear yeah, it was not too nice. Anyway. Yes, I love Bulgaria, I was there twice but I could go there anytime I love that place. Idk maybe it's the weather, the people, the food, the sea, maybe everything. It's just so amazing. I love it so much more than for example the Canary Islands. People there was rude ;;

OMG SEA TURTLE?! Amazing! Tbh I don't really want to go to Egypt anymore. I used to want to go but I'm a bit afraid. But turkey! I think ill go there next year! Also funny thing. When I was in Albania I caught a sea turtle. I was like 14 I think and there was a turtle so I just... grabbed it. Took a photo, make people gasp and then let it go. I hope he's still alive and well ;; KNifeeeeyyyy. I love your plans and gods you are so amazing. I honestly wish you will visit all those places and one day tell me about them! I think that except Japan I also would love to see the northern lights and the milky ways. It sounds so nice when you're talking about it. I would be more than happy to see it with my own eyes. Also maybe you want to visit bunny island in japan? It's called Okunoshima. Yes, I love spicy in my life :D I want to see rabbit island in Japan, the cherry tree alley, the key-hole graves and the museum. I want to see the famous things in china. Like the army and the Chinese wall also I want to see Chinese and Japanese festivals. I want to see Petersburg and Moscow in Russia, the ruins of Masyaf castle, the Pyramids... there are a lot of places, you know? Or ruins of the shrine of Quetzalcoatl. The world is such a fascinating place I want to see all creations of the great, ancient civilisations ;w; And I want to do to Budapest again! And the famous water part in Slovakia! Hbu Knifey? tell me more?

Homestretch....the final Cyberverse episodes... :’(

Season 3: Episodes 21 - 26

Episode 21

Ok so before we start, I gotta fess up and say I got spoiled for something because Twitter Sucks, so I know Tarn is in this series. Here are my predictions about that: 

Megatron said he rescued Astrotrain from a tyrant. I thought he meant an Alt!Universe version of him, but now that I know This Bastard is gonna be in it, I’m guessing it’s Tarn

If Megatron DID save Astrotrain from Tarn, it’d be hilarious if Tarn & co. weren’t actually planning to kill Astrotrain, they were just using him as transport, in which case Megatron essentially car-jacked (train-jacked?) them.

As much as I rag on Tarn and the DJD I actually do genuinely love the idea of an Autobot + Decepticon teamup against the DJD THAT WOULD BE SO FRICKIN COOL....

Anyways, on to the episode!

Pics taken 10 seconds before disaster, rip Cosmos.

MEDIA BOT and Cosmos! :D GOSH COSMOS REALLY IS CONFIRMED FOR BABY THAT”S ADORABLE.....I’m so glad he’s finally back in a cartoon

OH WHOOPS I FORGOT WINDBLADE WAS FRICKIN DEAD (ish)

LUNA 3???

The “FORBIDDEN” moon? 

Chromia: You can go there anyways! Bee: Huh?  Chromia: When have the rules ever stopped you before? Bee: Fair point

BRO WHY DO YOU HAVE A TOY OF SQUIDSCREAM

aw I love all those photos of him and cosmos, that’s cute

Oh no did he quit the business because he lost Cosmos???

METEOR-FIRE what a cool name

I like this dude a lot

I love that he’s obviously depressed about losing his partner but immediately gets convinced to go break into Luna 3 lmao

HE’S GOT CUTE CAMERAS WITH HIM I love that

LMAO I was gonna say “Wow you just flip the switches alright” THEN HE JUST RIPS THE CORDS OUT I love this guy

Hmm suspicious

Aw I love the space-shots of Cybertron, what a gorgeous planet....

Oh hello cannon-fodder #418

SHOCKWAVE SHOCKWAVE SHOCKWAVE!!!!!

IT”S THE GRUDGE LMAO

It’s probably a sim that shows you the scariest thing you can think of

BLURR!!! AW THAT’S SO SAD

Ok I take it back, it’s probably like MTMTE’s “Cyberutopia” thing where it reads your memory files

Watch the cameras Bee!!!

“Bee, I don’t mean to alarm you, but the alien presence has taken over my circuits” *HEAD DOES A 180* GOSH I LOVE THIS FRICKIN SHOW

The facial expressions in this show are SO FUN Bee’s so expressive I love that

I like that Meteor-Fire is so chill about this, this ain’t his first rodeo

He just snaps his neck back into place that’s so freaky and they play it off so well lol

PRETTY SPACE BALL???? PRETTY SPACE BALL!!! HEY HASBRO CAN YOU MAKE A TOY OF THIS I WANT IT!!!!!!

Gosh I’d legit buy a gem like this if it had constellations engraved on it THAT’S SO PRETTY I LOVE IT

It’s a good thing that Bee’s got Meteor-Fire with him, this is his field!!!

Oh lmao JUST KIDDING I GUESS

Well so much for the alien, rest in pieces

I think Saling already said this in their liveblog but I love that Bee’s collecting Windblade’s parts a-la-Megaman X2 style

COSMOS!!!!!! Yay I’m so glad they got him back!!!

Meteor-Fire: Look everybody, Cosmos is back!!! :D ME TOO BUD I’m so excited to see my space-baby

RODDY AND ARCEE!!!! I love that Percy took over for Maccadam, but that’s also so sad!!! ALSO WHY HAS HE NOT FIXED HIS EYES, RATCHET PLEASE HELP THIS POOR GUY

Episode 22  

OHH PRETTY PLANET

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The background designers on this show are great

Rodimus: That place has nothing but bad memories for me Every Drift fan simultaneously: Mood....

I really don’t think they’ll bring Drift back (unless he’s like, a zombie, which would still suck) so that’s a bummer

Rodimus: *Talking about his trauma* Me, very distracted: Wow Bee looks really cute here

SERIOUSLY THOUGH THEY NEED RUNG IN THIS SERIES They need a therapist in every Transformers series, all these bots need therapy (though tbf they tried to give Starscream therapy and that sure didn’t help, pft)

GRIMLOCK MAYBE DON’T--oh ok too late WELL THERE THEY GO

Repugnis?? I don’t remember who that is

A CITY?????? PRETTY

INSECTICON

lmao the frickin voice actor for that grey dude cracked me up

BEE MAYBE DON’T IMMEDIATELY TRUST THEM

Energon masters???? What

Interesting that they used “She” for Grimlock

Affluence?? 

Oh great these guys are the Cybertronian bourgeoisie 

Oh boy they’re just wasting energon huh

THE SHOCKS????

That’s a pretty bubble but JEEZ

OH NO WHY CAN”T HE TRANSFORM??

WAIT WHERE”S THE AUDIO oh wait no OP did mention there was an audio dropout

Is Grimlock gonna make friends with the bugs!!!

OH RIGHT the bug is Repugnis 

Aw the bugs are way nicer than the bourgeoisie, surprising absolutely no one

HELL YEAH, EAT THE RICH GRIMLOCK

“If we let you go, things will change! We like things the way they are” jeez

I wonder how the Shocks came about

It frickin figures

PRISON BREAK BEE!!!!

EAT HIM GRIMLOCK!!!

“Well this is quite astonishing” cute....

YEAH I WAS WONDERING IF THEY HAD THE SAME ALT MODE they looked like they had bug-bits, I didn’t realize that thing was keeping them from transforming though

Episode 23   

Oh right Megatron has a Matrix of Leadership I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

I ALSO FORGOT WHIRL WAS IN THIS SERIES, MY BABY.....

JETFIRE WATCH OUT YOU BIG NERD

“Rack ‘n Ruin and Ratchet” OH IS THIS GONNA BE A RATCHET EPISODE??? PLEASE?????? PLEASE SAY RATCHET EPISODE

Aw poor Rack n Ruin...

RATCHET BABY BOY!!! I forgot he was a New Yorker in this series lmao

“I LOVE Jetfire!”  “I know, me too!” CUTE....

I love that every continuity has Ratchet stuck with someone who annoys him in a ship

I love that Ratchet’s not even concerned

RATCHET’S DESIGN IN CYBERVERSE IS SO CUTE...

Wait UNSPACE???? Isn’t that where they sent a bunch of bad people????

Different Quantum Frequencies??? Dimensionally aligned??? MAN I LOVE THIS GOOFY SHOW

“It’s a blue-purple” CUTE....

UH OH HERE COMES ASTROTRAIN throwing dead-end??

I love that Astrotrain is so HUGE compared to everyone else, thank you Cyberverse for my life

“Every time..” LMAO GOSH THIS SHOW IS LITERALLY THE BEST someone please make a gif of that. I love that this implies that every time someone rides in Astrotrain they get ejected at 100 mph and skid 50 ft face-first, that’s such a delightful mental image. I think this 5 second scene is legitimately one of my favorite goofs / scenes in this show IT’S JUST THAT GOOD

You can tell I really enjoyed something when I make a meme of it

IT”S ILLEGAL TO BE THIS CUTE!!!!!!!!

OK IT’S LEGITIMATELY A LITTLE FRIGHTENING TO SEE HOW HUGE ASTROTRAIN IS WHEN IN ATTACK-MODE, HE SO EASILY PICKED THEM UP but that’s why it’s cool for him to be SO much bigger than they are, I LOVE BIG CYBERTRONIANS

LMAO I LOVE ASTROTRAIN he’s such a turd to DeadEnd

“Time to pay Ratchet a house-call. ‘Cuz he’s a doctor!” I almost snorted my drink up my nose, I LOVE THE DORKY HUMOR IN THIS SHOW

I swear this series was made with me in mind

TWO HEADS, NO BRAINCELLS

You wonder if Shadow Striker and Soundwave ever just rock-paper-scissor to see who has to deal with the latest Autobot bs that day

“And we don’t” OH SHOOT THEY’RE BEING LEFT OUT OF THE DECEPTICON’S PLANS TOO...This is more dire than I thought

Man I really do love Shadow Striker and Soundwave, they’re the only competent Decepticons

OH NO NOT RATCHET!!! NO!!!!!

Ohh so Astrotrain is still a triple changer in this series!! :O

WOW A SHOT TO THE HEAD REALLY DIDN”T DO ANYTHING HUH

REST IN PIECES DEADEND lmao he and Percy both have good survival stats it seems

NICE MOVES GRANDPA glad your hips still work lol

Oh good I’m glad they actually kept the purple thing

RIP Rack n Ruin

DEADEND YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS

YEAHHHHH SHADOW STRIKER AND SOUNDWAVE!!!!!

“You’ve been told this area is off-limits” Oh shoot so Megatron really doesn’t trust them with this huh??? Must be some serious stuff they saw while universe-hopping

“Make us” SOUNDWAVE I WOULD DIE FOR YOU MY SASSY BOY

Love that he’s pissing off this dude who’s literally 4 times his height, love my son

Shadow Striker & Soundwave are Goth / Jock solidarity

Ratchet: Yeah yeah yeah I know Cuteeee

Wow they’re really not gonna help Shadow Striker and Soundwave????

THEY’RE LITERALLY JUST DOLL-SIZE IN HIS HANDS which is probably a not great reminder for Soundwave after that Dr. Tentacle Dude incident

Astrotrain: *bops their faces together* heehee Soundwave: BI Shadow Striker: >8(

JEEZ, BYE ASTROTRAIN

THE STYLE IS SO JARRING I LOVE IT!!! I LOVE UNSPACE AND HOW IT LOOKS (especially when contrasted with the regular drawing-style of the show. Really great artistic choice!)

Oh shoot so Astrotrain can just leave whenever huh

Aw what cute high fives, man this show has such good vibes

Episode 24  

NOOOO ONLY THREE EPISODES LEFT.....

:(((((

WINDLBADE!!!! I hope she’ll be ok

DID it work?? Wait you guys still have two frickin shards left, YOU”RE SO BAD AT THIS

A SHARK????? WTF

HE JUST PICKED HER UP AND DIPPED WTF WHO IS THAT

It’s not Skybyte obviously but he’s a shark too so WHO IS THAT

OHH IS THAT THE HALL OF RECORDS???? 

Wait wtf the Decepticons are attacking?? Oh wait RACK N RUIN DID YOU REALLY TELL THEM THAT

OH NO HE FROZE

WHOA  WHAT”S HAPPENING

WHAT OPTIMUS NO

WHAT”S HAPPENING!!!!! WTF

I WAS GONNA MAKE A BSOD JOKE BUT I TAKE IT ALL BACK OPTIMUS PLEASE BE OK YOU CAN’T DIE IN THIS SERIES

Is this referencing the other time when he glitched oh no....I knew that’d come back to bite us

In other news, I love that we’re learning more about the life and (cyber)biology of Cybertron, I’m so glad we got to have pretty much almost the entire series set on Cybertron

I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THAT!!! THAT’S SO COOL!!! This is the stuff I want to see in Transformers shows!!!

Hasbro could literally make a nature documentary set on Cybertron and I’d be ecstatic. Gimme more details about their world and architecture and city stuff

“Fellow Primes, why have I been summoned?” Oh shoot so the other past primes can just jack OP’s consciousness whenever??? That frickin sucks. I do love the Atlantis vibes I’m ge HOLY FRICK IS THAT MAC

AHHHHHHHH MACCADAM!!!!!!!!!!! GRANDPA!!!!!!! PLEASE GIVE OPTIMUS DAD ADVICE!!!!!! IM SO GLAD WE GET TO SEE HIM AGAIN

Chromia: Bee are you crazy?? Bee: YES! *jumps off the ship*

I love that this weird storm cloud area is basically like an ocean, that’s so cool

OH NO BEE!!!!!!!

Jeez that startled me, the shark sounds just like Bee

“Well you’re doing a scrap job” lmao Chromia please

Oh it’s the Argon Sea, it IS an ocean pft

“An ancient evil” hooo boy

BEE he’s so cute. Wait don’t just jump down a random hole AT LEAST WAIT FOR CHROMIA

CREEPY TENTACLE STUFF AGAIN, JEEZ CYBERVERSE

KICK HIS BUTT CHROMIA

Aw man, not you too Bee

MISTRESS OF FLAME!!!! I get so excited about every IDW reference haha, I love Caminus and I love that they’re letting that still exist

JEEZ THAT”S NOT CREEPY AT ALL

Is this a Titan???? IT IS A TITAN

It’s like a Cthulu titan huh

Chromia: That is THE creepiest thing I’ve ever heard THANK YOU CHROMIA, SAME THOUGHT

Chromia’s just like “This doesn’t even come close to my Top 10 list of BS I’ve had to deal with lately”

More weird smoke, oh great

JEEZ THAT’S A FREAKY TITAN

Me, crying softly: GAY RIGHTS....(and Bee). MAN THE FRIENSHIPS IN THIS SHOW ARE SO GREAT :’)

ALCHEMIST PRIME!!!!!!!!! I FRICKIN KNEW YOU WERE A PRIME

“But this is not about me” I WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU THOUGH

Wait why is a part of Windblade in Megatron’s Matrix

WHY WOULD THEY ALSO BE IN THE OTHER MATRIX oh they mean alt-universe them

It’s frickin HYSTERICAL that every time Optimus has some ~deep spiritual~ conversation with the past Primes he’s just standing there frozen while the Autobots wait for him to unfreeze like he’s some kind of ancient computer doing updates. Like, that’s legitimately one of the funniest pieces of information canon’s given us so far, thank you for my life Cyberverse writers.

I wonder if Arcee and the other bots ever take selfies with him while he’s frozen like that THERE’S SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR COMEDY HERE

Optimus: *is frozen for a couple hours while talking to old Primes* Autobots: *put on PJs and unroll their sleeping bags so they can have a slumber party while waiting for him*

Heck now I’m just imagining them playing truth or dare or some similar game while waiting for Optimus to wake up. 

I’m sure at some point during their voyage on the Ark, Optimus froze and they all played the “who can do this silly / embarrassing thing in front of Optimus and get away with it before he wakes up” game. Like, Rodimus somersaults down the hall while spouting fire in front of Optimus, Bee does a handstand while singing the alphabet backwards, etc, and whoever’s in front of Optimus when he “wakes up” loses. (It’d be even funnier if Optimus kept pretending to be frozen while they played until someone did something REALLY embarrassing and he unfroze to freak them out. Then again, the Matrix going back into his chest would probably be too much of a giveaway huh)

OH NO I WAS SO CAUGHT UP IN THE EUPHORIA OF THIS IDEA I FORGOT THERE’S ONLY TOO EPISODES LEFT NOW....

Episode 25

I love Astrotrain’s design (both in bot-mode and his alt mode) because he just looks like a grumpy evil train and that makes me so happy.

Also RAIN!!! I love rain and this looks so pretty

LMAO ASTROTRAIN YOU’RE SUCH A TURD I had no opinion of him before this show but now I frickin love him

HE PULLED THE CHAIR OUT FROM UNDER HIM

“I HAVE HIS MATRIX” OH NO DID HE STEAL THIS FROM SHATTERED GLASS’ OPTIMUS OH FRICK

Megatron running like that while holding the Matrix in his hands reminds me so vividly of a younger sibling stealing their older sibling’s diary and fleeing at top-speed from said older sibling and that’s hilarious to me. Megatron is so petty

Dang, so that’s how his eye got messed up. Ngl it’s a good look

CYBER COWS!!!!

Wow that wall is so WEAK the Decepticons are so dumb lmao

Oh yeah they have a new furry on their team

Rodimus: Math isn’t my strong-suit.

Arcee: Especially me!  Arcee you are ADORABLE

OH SHOOT MEGATRON CAN TALK TO THE PAST PRIMES TOO...DANG

WINDBLADE!!! MAKE WINDBLADE A PRIME YOU COWARDS

Ok I know I said “Shattered-Glass Optimus” earlier but based on that spoiler some moron on Twitter posted, IT’S PROBABLY TARN...man I wish I hadn’t seen that spoiler but despite that IM STILL EXCITED

Makes you wonder how TARN got the Matrix though (not that I can’t guess 8( )

Oh my gosh I just realized we have the potential to see Windblade kick Tarn’s butt in this series. Cyberverse PLEASE, I’D LOVE TO SEE THAT

Ah so Astrotrain is the new scientist

Ur bugs are probably dead dude

LASERBEAK!!!!

RAVAGE??? Oh no that’s the furry dude MAN I GET SO EXCITED EVERY TIME, I KEEP FORGETTING

As much as I Die for loyal Soundwave, it’s really cool seeing him being his own character and acting on his own in this series and trusting his own judgement / surveillance! It’s so good. Soundwave you’re so smart (and I love that he loves Laserbeak :’) )

*SOBBING* CASE IN POINT...HE PET THE BABY..

OHOHO IT”S *THE* INSECTICONS

Oh shoot the Insecticons are deserting 

“No one can stop him. Not even you” dang son

“He doesn’t want us. He wants you” OH BOY

MY BABY WHIRL!!!! THAT’S MY BOY

SEEKERS!!! I forgot we still had a few who Starscream didn’t frickin kill

NICE JUMP-ATTACK OPTIMUS I love that he cuts the dude’s weapon in half meanwhile Grimlock just frickin eats the guy lmao. So much for Optimus’ mercy

FRICK FRICK FRICK IT IS TARN

OK TARN OBJECTIVELY SUCKS BUT AT THE SAME TIME I ACTUALLY DO LOVE HIM BECAUSE HOLY FRICK IS HE A DANGEROUS CHARACTER AND THERE’S SO MUCH TO PLAY WITH THERE, I CANT WAIT TO SEE HIM AND HOW THEY USE HIM FOR THE STORY AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dead End: Yeah, I see your point Lmao I love this guy

Everyone’s gonna frickin die in this series

OH NO WHIRL oh wait yeah he and Dead End know each other, Whirl’s fine

SOUNDWAVE CAN YOU AND SHADOW STRIKER CHILL FOR 2 SECONDS

I love Skybyte’s voice

WOW MEGATRON, YOU”RE ONLY PROTECTING HALF THE PLANET, JEEZ

OH SHOOT

OH SHOOT

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh so that’s why they had a wall, Megatron you turd

WHIRL NO!!!!!!! oh he’s fine thank goodness

Did Megatron get taller??? He looks taller than Optimus now

Just use Optimus’ matrix you big baby

“It’s time I called in that debt you owe me. Now it’s time for you to save me” I LEGITIMATELY SHRIEKED OUT LOUD, AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

THERE HE IS, THERE HE IS THERE HE IS!!!!!!!

SCREW PAST ME’S OPINION, TARN IS FRICKIN COOL AS HELL

OH SHOOT THERE’S A TON OF HIM WTF

WHERE’S THAT FRICKIN “THERE IT IS, THERE IT IS, THERE!!! IT!!! IS!!!” MEME BECAUSE THAT’S BEEN ME THIS ENTIRE EPISODE HOLY HECK

Episode 26

MORE PRIME NAMES!!! A) that’s very pretty B) LEGIT THOUGH IF WINDBLADE’S THE ONE WHO KICKS TARN’S BUTT I’LL GO APE

OH FRICK IF OPTIMUS IS THERE THEN TARN REALLY DID KILL HIM or it means he beefed it in that universe, as he usually does

“I wish I’d gotten to know you better” 8((((((

What happened to Alt!Universe Optimus!!!!!!! How did you die!!!

Windblade: Optimus, you’re speaking in riddles... Optimus: I always do, it comes with the job of Prime. Windblade: Oh right

“A perfect Decepticon race” HOO BOYZY.....

“All because I spared your life” MAN THAT HURTS

At least they aren’t attacking them right now?

HOW CAN THEY POSSIBLY RESOLVE THIS SERIES IN 10 MINUTES

ASTROTRAIN YOU COWARD not that I blame him, every bot for themself I guess

OH NO THE HURT PUPPY WHINE MAKES ME SO SAD

HELL YEAH SOUNDWAVE SAVE MY BABY BEE

I TAKE IT BACK TARN IS CANCELED, HE HIT SOUNDWAVE

*AND* HE GRABBED CHROMIA, YOU”RE CANCELED, ALL THESE CLONES ARE CANCELED

SOUNDWAVE IS THE ONLY VALID DECEPTICON

Optimus: Can’t keep-- Megatron: WE MUST! Me: *SOBS*

OPTIMUS AND MEGATRON BACK-TO-BACK FIGHTING AHHHHHHHHHH, IT”S THE LITTLE-THINGS

Definitely not the right time for this joke but: AU where instead of saying “Powers of Cybertron, unite!” they say “GAY RIGHTS” to activate their Matrix powers

Frick what if they kill MEGATRON in this series

HECK YEAH EVERYONE’S GETTING AN UPGRADE

Megatron: We must join our Matrixes together! Optimus: Now REALLY isn’t the best time for a marriage proposal Megatron: What Optimus: What

Thank you for telling Optimus to get down for once instead of just blasting him AND the Tarn-copies, Megatron

OH FRICK IT IS ALT-UNIVERSE MEGATRON NOT TARN WHO’S THE BIG BAD

I LEGIT STOPPED BREATHING DURING THIS ENTIRE SEQUENCE AHHHH

THIS IS INFINITELY BETTER (AND WORSE) THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

THAT MEANS ALT!UNIVERSE MEGATRON DID KILL OPTIMUS...MEANWHILE OUR UNIVERSE’S MEGATRON SPARED OPTIMUS...MAN THAT HURTS ME SO BAD

MEGATRON NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OPTIMUS SAVE HIM SAVE HIM PLEASE SOMEHOW SAVE HIM!!!!!

OPTIMUS LITERALLY FRICKIN RAN ACROSS THE ROOM TO CATCH HIM, MY HEART CAN’T TAKE THIS DRAMA

NO!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN”T DO THIS TO ME CYBERVERSE

“Prime...one shall stand...one shall....” THIS IS THE SADDEST FRICKIN THING THAT”S HAPPENED IM LEGIT GONNA CRY, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Hold on...my friend...” IM GONNA BAWL MY EYES OUT OPTIMUS

I legit had to take a moment to get up and do a lap around my room while processing what happened LIKE OK I KNOW THEY PROBABLY (???) WON’T PERMA-KILL MEGATRON BUT FRICK DUDE THAT WAS SO EMOTIONAL

MEGAOP RIGHTS....BUT AT WHAT COST

What’s fricking me up rn (granted, several things are fricking me up right now) is that this universe’s Megatron knew he could’ve achieved his goals if he’d just killed Optimus. He said so himself; he could’ve had it all but he failed “all because I spared your [Optimus’] life”. Whatever he saw in that other universe convinced him that killing Optimus just wasn’t worth it (or perhaps, deep deep DEEP down, he really doesn’t want to kill his old friend).

I’m rewatching that last minute and this feels like a frickin fanfiction. I’m Living but also Dying

I KNOW THIS IS A VERY TENSE SCENE BUT MEGATRON’S “I won’t pay for anything!” MADE ME LAUGH

SOUNDWAVE STANDING BETWEEN SHADOW-STRIKER AND MEGATRON!!!!!!!!! STANDING UP TO MEGATRON!!!! SOBS I LOVE SOUNDWAVE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT ALSO PLEASE BE CAREFUL MY SWEET BOY!!!!! IF YOU GET HURT ILL NEVER BE OVER IT

Two reasons he could’ve done that: to keep Shadow Striker from getting super pissed off and lashing out at this enemy who’s way above their level, or because the “jacked up Frankenstein experiment” thing is a sore subject for her and Soundwave recognizes that (and frankly I’m leaning toward option B because SOBS....I LOVE THEIR FRIENDSHIP)

GOTH FRIENDS!!!

OH OK THANK GOODNESS, MEGATRON ISN’T DEAD DEAD YET

Dang so Megatron did kill Optimus

OH NO WE’RE GETTING A FLASHBACK

FRICK THAT”S SO GRUESOME, HE JUST RIPPED OPTIMUS’ CHEST OPEN

YOU ALREADY KNOW THE MOST PERFECT DECEPTICON, HIS NAME IS SOUNDWAVE!!! YOU JUST DON’T APPRECIATE HIM YOU BIG BULLY

Oh shoot so the Quints came to that world too

DANG HE JUST WRECKED THEIR SHIP HUH....

I’m loving this throwback to the IDW design

WOW Y’ALL JUST IMMEDIATELY WENT “SURE WE’RE ONBOARD” (I mean, good way to stay alive but C’MON GUYS....)

“I have no need for any of you” WHOOPS SO MUCH FOR THAT should’ve seen that coming

THIS SUCKS SO BAD

NONONONO!!!! MEGATRON!!!!

HECK NOW HE HAS THE MATRIX

wow you guys really just let Megatron fall to the floor COME ON OPTIMUS WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SMOOTH MOVES

NICE ONE BEE!!!!!!

YEAH WERE ARE ARCEE AND HOT ROD

FRICK YEAH WHIRL, MESS HIM UP!!!!!!!!!

YEAH SHADOW STRIKER!!!!!!

RATCHET PUNCHING TARN HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

FRICK HE CAN JUST MATERIALIZE LIKE THAT TOO

WELL THAT DIDN’T LAST LONG

BEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“And now you will pay the price...for being a hero” DANG THAT”S A COOL LINE BUT DON’T HURT MY BOY

FRICK HIM UP OPTIMUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WINDBLADE NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO SAVE EVERYONE

YEAHHHH WINDBLADE!!!!!!!

Yeah don’t turn your back on the body please

YO Astrotrain came back

ASTROTRAIN THAT SOUNDS SO CREEPY AND ALSO THAT’S SUCH A BAD IDEA, JUST KILL HIM

I know this is a kid’s show but PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO MAKE SURE HE WON’T POP BACK UP IN A FEW YEARS WITH ANOTHER ARMY

IM GLAD WINDBLADE IS BACK AND IM LOVING THE HUG BUT DID MEGATRON LEGIT FRICKIN DIE????

WHAT!!! WHAT THAT CAN’T BE IT!?!?!? HOW COULD YOU END IT LIKE THAT NO!!!!!!! THAT WAS SO ABRUPT nO!!!!!!!!!! 

The last few episodes were such an adrenaline rush I CAN”T BELIEVE WE CAME DOWN FROM THAT HIGH SO QUICKLY....IS MEGATRON ALIVE??? KICKSTARTER TO FUND ONE MORE EPISODE???? SPARE ANOTHER EPISODE FOR A POOR FAN???

MAN I wish we could’ve stayed in the universe of this show for a little longer but dang!!! That was really really good!!! I’m so grateful we got to have such a wonderful series like Cyberverse! :’) Thank you to everyone who worked on this incredible show!!!

Man now I gotta wait for WfC for new Transformers content....at least I can look through the tag w/out getting spoiled now

A few more thoughts now that I’ve re-read my liveblog:

If Megatron could hop into the Matrix of Leadership he possessed, I wonder if he ever had a chance to talk to that universe’s Optimus Prime... :( based on what he said, probably not, but that makes me so sad!!!! Did they ever get the chance to work things out!!! IS MEGATRON ALIVE OR NOT.....

[nikatyler]

Today has been frustrating. That’s all I’m going to say. Well, it started off nicely, I did something I was proud of. Then it went kinda downhill. I’m probably going to make it even worse as soon as I post this...there’s this thing I’ve been thinking about for the past few days. Considering I’m soooo good at communication and expressing my feelings, it’s going to end up great, you can bet.

Sarcasm aside, let’s talk about my legacies: 

I just queued the rest of part one of Gen 6! It’ll run for like 40 more days though.

After that, I’ll finally post the first generation of my BPR, almost a year after starting it. I know what you’re thinking, I’ve been posting TS3 for months, I should switch back to TS4 now, it would be fair, and yes, I thought about that too. But I kinda really want to get rid of the BPR. Gen 1 is finished and I don’t want to keep it to myself anymore.

As for gen 3 of NSB, I haven’t been playing it too much recently. I’ll play it a lot in June though, I hope. As soon as the exam chaos is over.

I’ve also made some decisions about Roses, but I’ll talk about these later. There’s still a high chance I’ll change my mind.

Besides, when do I not make decisions about Roses? They’re on my mind way too often. It can’t be healthy.

Update: I’m still not done with my replies but I just got a message from my teacher, saying that I did well on the English writing exam! I don’t know the exact grade but yay me. I mean, I knew I was going to do well on this one, but finally seeing I passed feels much nicer than “oh yeah, I’m confident about my English, there’s no way I can fail”. The way this exam system works...I was worried it wouldn’t scan properly or some crap. In the past, people had problems with that.

Update 2: Still writing the replies but I just found out that apparently I got 100% on the exam. Holyyyyy crap.

Don't worry it could be worse. It could be Ross for example (sorry, not sorry��)

Ooooooh. Yeah I mean, what Felix does is kinda natural, what Ross does (or used to do)...is just wrong.

sparkiemonkey replied to your photo “I have three weeks to learn everything for my last exams. Am I dying...”

Good luck with your exams. You can do it.

Thank youu! I hope so. I feel like I still remember nothing from the notes, but at the same time, when I read some of them, I’m like “duh, I’ve heard this a million times, of course I know what it is!”

desira-sims replied to your photo “I have three weeks to learn everything for my last exams. Am I dying...”

If it makes you feel better, I’m constantly rethinking how I should have posted my story too. I think it’s why I’m enjoying doing these mini photo shoots for Gen 2. It’s glimpses into their life that I didn’t fully express in my story.

I feel like everyone does this, they get great ideas when it’s too late to change it. Some people are just better at moving on, I guess. Not that I want to move on from gen 4, nope.

this is how midnight sun challenges start...

Imagine if I did that. I love this idea.

dreamsongsims replied to your photoset “Houston we have a problem I forgot Isla Paradiso is a glitchy mess”

Yes. Yes it is. All that work to get to a dive spot and BOOM! Right back to shore.

It’s frustrating that it’ll most likely never get fixed :/

I thought episode 4 fucked me up...but then episode 5 came and...let’s just say ep 4 was alright compared to this.

twistedsim replied to your post “Well that was an amazing surprise! ������”

Shit! I just now saw the score. XD Damn, you whooped Sweden's ass!

Usually it’s the other way around :D Yeah, it was great to watch. I was expecting to be disappointed but not surprised, but actually...if I’m not mistaken, that’s our best score with Sweden ever. And then with Norway, we did great too...too bad we lost with Russia today. There were so many chances and not a single goal...but oh well, it’s just one game. It doesn’t mean anything. I hope.

But then she wasn’t actually killed by a shark. Phew.

I haven't watched this season yet. �� I keep saying I'm gonna sit down and binge it, but haven't done it. Maybe I'll do that Wednesday.

Oooh, I’m not sure if I would be able to binge watch it. Every episode left me feeling overwhelmed with thoughts and emotions, doesn’t matter if they were negative or positive. Actually, I don’t think this season is as bad as so many people online say...it’s not perfect but nothing is. 🤷‍♀️

Then again, speaking of binge watching, I was able to watch the previous seven seasons in less than a month last year, so maybe it is possible.

plumbobhart replied to your post “So…I took a break from studying to watch the latest episode of Game of...”

I hated it sooo... yay? D:

I’m not sure how I felt about it. Like I’ve said already in this post, today has been frustrating and this episode contributed to that. There were some things that bothered me, some decisions that bothered me, oh and there was a great example of character development going to hell (that really disappointed me tbh), but overall...idk, I guess I still kinda enjoyed it - I mean, as much as one can enjoy this tv show. It was brutal.

I’m not going to talk about it all in depth though, I could spend whole evening with that and I don’t want that haha :D

[gel0p]

Japan, Day 3!

(Editor’s note: Please note that this was originally written back in May 2019, right after the actual trip. Some details have been updated, but the overall content remains the same.)

------

For Day 3, I needed to go to Kamiyacho station - that meant using the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line.

This Lawson wasn’t built - it was grown. :P

Finally found my first destination of the day - Atago Shrine!

…Okay so technically the shrine is at the top of these Success Steps, which according to the internet, is 26 meters tall. Apparently somebody climbed this on a horse, which led him to succeed in life later on.

Well, time to climb!

Jesus Christ that was a grueling 85 (I counted) steps to the top

The actual Atago Shrine!

There’s a pond at the top.

Moving on to my next destination! Oh god I need to take the steps again don’t I-

I was on my way to Zojoji Temple when I came across Seishoji Temple. There weren’t many people, so I had a good look around.

Being so close to Zojoji, you’d think more people will come across this place. I guess not?

A glimpse of Tokyo Tower behind Seishoji.

Good point, Japan. XD

Just behind Seishoji is Horindaikannon.

And behind that, Seiganin.

I rested at this point, before proceeding to Zojoji Temple.

Tokyo Tower is already so close!

The entrance to Zojoji Temple.

Inside the temple. Tokyo Tower once again looms by.

Time to actually visit the tower, I guess!

(Editor’s note: You could tell I was very excited by the prospect of finally visiting Tokyo Tower. I just finished watching Revue Starlight at that time, you see. ^^)

TOKYOOOOO TOWEEEEEEER

At the base of Tokyo Tower. It’s undergoing maintenance, thus all the blue nets.

Climbing the tower would require another 7 months of my non-existent salary, so I decided to pass the time at Marion Crepes located at the base of the tower.

Everything looks so nice D:

Forgive the already dismembered crepe picture, but I was already hungry (plus there were a lot of birds asking for crepes! ^o^). I got myself Crepe #95 :3

(Also thanks to the new-found confidence from Towa the night before, I’ve started ordering stuff purely in Japanese at this point. Sumimasen, hitotsu no kyuujuugoban kudasai~)

One last picture of Tokyo Tower as I made my way to Odaiba.

First stop at Odaiba - Tokyo Big Sight! I didn’t enter the building anymore as I had other plans. I was already very happy just being able to be this close.

TOKYO BIG SIGHT

Instead of walking to Palette Town, I decided to ride the train once more - this meant passing through Toyota Mega Web. And guess what? Toyota = cars!

More cars!

Fun fact: they did have a Supra Mk4 and Mk5 (are they calling it the Mk5 yet?) visible downstairs, but it wasn’t open to the public.

So I took a picture of this futuristic-looking car instead.

I then fell in line for this driving simulator!

The rules of the driving sim, if you could read them. XD

P.S. I sucked at it D: I was surprised, because I consider myself decent at  real-life driving. ;^;

After driving around, it was time to ride the Palette Town Ferris Wheel!

I paid (and waited) extra to get a transparent floor. :3 I guess it wasn’t that transparent...

The Gundam becomes visible at some point.

Having gained confidence, I was already standing during the last quarter rotation.

Thanks, Palette Town!

… wait wait wait how come I didn’t get any starter Pokemon? D:

I don’t know what this is, but it looks cool.

(Editor’s note: It’s the Tokyo Teleport)

The infamous real-life-sized Gundam statue! There’s always some people posing in front, so I just picked the cleanest picture I got.

You can get a clean pic from the side, but the statue will have its… light post hanging out. XD

The nearby Flame of Freedom statue!

DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, from the outside.

(Editor’s note: Jesus, this is like watching the Nijigasaki anime all over again. ^^)

Inside, I ate my first authentic Japanese Ramen! ^o^

I won a Detective Pikachu plushie! ^o^ He accompanied me for the rest of the day, but ultimately this one is for my sister to keep.

(Editor’s note: I have a sister???)

I SOMEHOW MADE IT TO NEW YORK D:

Rainbow Bridge in the distance. Whew.

Time to walk across it! :D

I’m not joking when I said it was a pain in the butt (and the legs) looking for the entrance to Rainbow Bridge. I eventually managed to find it, but I was already very tired at that point, that the crow (that’s an actual crow) was almost telling me crossing the bridge would be a bad idea.

Fuck it, let’s cross anyway!

It was wiiiiindddddyyyyyy

Crossing this bridge felt cathartic for some reason :D

“No crossing”, it says. No shit Sherlock, this is an expressway. See the blurry car?

THANK YOU BOAT-KUN FOR PASSING AT THE RIGHT MOMENT

Tokyo Tower finally lit up in the distance! I was already on my way out of the bridge when this happened.

Finally made it off the bridge! T_T

Side story:

Rainbow Bridge has 2 paths: the northern path, and the southern path. They’re just fancy ways of saying “which side of the bridge are you walking on?” - they don’t refer to the direction (Odaiba - Shibaura / Shibaura - Odaiba) you’re walking in. For instance, I walked from Odaiba to Shibaura using the northern route, in order to see Tokyo Tower. Had I picked the southern path, the view would have been different.

Once I got to the Shibaura end, there’s a door marked “Exit”. Obviously, I used that one, aaaand it was just for looping back to Odaiba, using the southern path. I didn’t know what to do, but thankfully a lady came along and also got lost. She however, unlike me, could read Japanese, and therefore proceeded to use the goddamn elevator camouflaged within the walls. The bridge is connected to the 7th floor; you get off at the 2nd floor. Yey! XD

Rainbow Bridge, from just below it.

Aaaand that’s it! I have visited all my destinations for Day 3. Time to rest right?

Wrong.

TOKYO TOWER NIGHT MODE!

Now while I really like this picture, this isn’t what I actually came back to Tokyo Tower at night for. Oh no no no.

It was for this.

Do you understand this reference? :D

Karen-chan! Hikari-chan!

STARLIGHT SHICHAIMASU! XD

It should be obvious by now that I really like anime. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

Now I know this isn’t the correct playground, but I was already very tired at that point for more searching. I quite literally spent the day walking around Odaiba.

(I would later learn that correct playground is waaaay closer to the tower than I thought; in fact, in my first night picture of the tower, it was already on the raised platform to my left.)

But it doesn’t matter! My feelings came across, right!? ^o^

Day 3 in Japan, complete! ^_^

<< Day 2 . . . Day 4 >>

Replies!

Beneath the cut

On Posing:

Thanks to @strangetomato​, @retromaisie​, and @katatty-main​ for your responses about the posing ‘jump’ issue. I was using the Freezer clock for some of the sims, but not all of them, so I will make myself be more diligent with that and hopefully that will improve matters. Pretty sure it was idle animations causing the jumps, based on what you were saying as I did have Free Will off and time frozen with the Clock.

@esmeiolanthe​ and @holleyberry​ - I think you guys were talking about a different issue when you are physically moving the sims into place and they jump into the hands of a nearby sim. That wasn’t happening as I had them all on OMSPs. The issue I was having was them jumping out of the pose when already in place, but thanks for the help :)

On my GOS Challenge House:

@barbiepinklady replied to your photo “I did a challenge on GOS =)”

Beautiful House! any chance you put it for download?

Thank you so much! I won’t be putting this one up for download, because there’s a ton of CC in there and a lot of it I got from installing lots, so I’m not even sure where it’s from or what the creator’s terms are and you’d likely end up with a lot of missing Master textures and stuff. Also I’m not sure parts of it are entirely playable *cough* the kitchen *cough* because I used MoveObjects etc to arrange stuff and I haven’t playtested the house at all. I’m fully expecting to have to rearrange everything when I move a sim into it. x.x Feel free to copy/recreate it though. I do that all the time ;)

On Strangetown:

@didilysims replied to your photoset “Diamonds Bowling Alley, Strangetown Layout was inspired by a ts3...”

This looks so great! I'm a terrible bowler but I always enjoy going...and I would love to bowl here!

Thank you, although I feel like most of the credit should go to MsPoodle as I copied so much from her. I enjoyed getting that retro feel of Strangetown in there though =D

katatty-main replied to your photoset “Tri-Fruhm Alum Stella Terrano and Monica Bratford (from henceforth the...”

i use the hack to make npcs & townies apartment neighbours instead!

Yes that is (hopefully) how I'll be setting up my new hood, as I set it up completely clean, it currently has zero sims. I will be creating some townies for the apartment lots when I get onto sim building.

as for the noise thing, i think the trick is to put bedrooms on a side of the building that isnt joined onto a neighobur's wall? if that makes sense

The noise is coming through from the neighbour's living room into the Terranos' kitchen so it's not bedroom-related. I'll have to look into it more. Or not have posh apartments directly next to each other. I think the noise makes sense in lower-rent places, but the Terranos' place is meant to be nice and fairly up-market. xD

@dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset “Tri-Fruhm Alum Stella Terrano and Monica Bratford (from henceforth the...”

I use probably the same hack that Katatty uses for the townie apartment neighbors, and I also completely nuke neighbor noise b/c I got sick of it: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=577082 But if you don't want to do that, you can hang pictures on every wall. (Invisible recolors are good for this, obviously.) Then the noise emitter can't generate.

I will probably get sick of it after a while so thanks for that link! At the moment it's still new to me so I'm all 'ooooh noise :D'. I think I'll have to play around with various tricks so I can maintain it in some but not all. =)

@littleblondesim replied to your photoset “Again, I failed to take pics. =/ Stella and Monica, both Knowledge...”

Yups about the witches! I just had a sim become a witch the "normal" way for the first time. You just have to make friends with one of the High Witches (either good or bad) and then eventually there will be an option to ask to be shown the way of the path of either darkness or light, depending on which witch you asked.

I'm looking forward to Monica finally getting there. She's wanted to be a witch since she first saw one back in LFT and it'll be nice to have some Good to balance Olive's Evil.

dramallamadingdang replied to your photo “and this week in outtakes: General Buzz! When I switched over to...”

If this was my game, I'd have him keep that hair and wear it with pride. But, y'know, I'm weird that way. :)

Hahahahaha, I fear that he would somehow crawl out of the game and come to exact his revenge on me!

On my new hood:

@eddysims replied to your photo “Another one of the church”

This is adorable ~<3

@eulaliasims replied to your photo “Another one of the church”

Pretty! I like the details on the tower. :D

Thank you both! It took quite a while to get it to a state I was happy with while using little CC. I spent ages trying to use the normal spire roof and failing before realising I could use the mansard roof pieces.

dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset “WIP shots of a residential lot, based on the Kims House/Shop from...”

It's all...sunshiney! Like it'd be impossible to be unhappy in that house :)

Hahah, it is pretty yellow. Also it has really nice surroundings as it’s right next door to the town’s park. Not sure yet who is going to live there, so we’ll see how happy they are ;)

littleblondesim replied to your photoset “WIP shots of a residential lot, based on the Kims House/Shop from...”

This is absolutely charming!

littleblondesim replied to your photoset “This one is based on a real-life house/shop from Kent, CT.”

You are killing it with these houses!

Awh thank you! I really enjoy looking at pictures of real-life places (or tv show scenery) and simmifying them xD and I like the way this hood is developing. It’s nicely different from Strangetown. Hopefully I can stick with it!

On The Getting to know me meme:

eulaliasims replied to your post “Getting to know me meme”

I think Numb might be stuck in my head now too, haha.

Hah, it is nearly always stuck in my head. I catch myself humming or singing it without realising.

dramallamadingdang replied to your post “Getting to know me meme”

Thumbs up for your solo musician choices. Adele I can take or leave, but Aretha, Ella, and Billie are (or were, sadly) all freakin' goddesses. :)

I have a real love affair with Jazz/Easy Listening music which started with my Nana's music collection, matured at Uni when I sang in a Jazz Band and then fully blossomed with the Fallout games which is my other long-term gaming addiction alongside sims.

4cr Plays - Pixel Puzzle Makeout League (Switch)

Hi, so, yes, this is a little awkward. It has been awhile, hasn’t it, since my last post on this blog? I’m sure you have many questions. 

“How are you?” “Did you catch Covid-19?” “Where is my money?”

Or, more likely, “Are you really popping in after a couple of months of inactivity to discuss a hybrid of Picross and a dating sim?” 

The answer to that, dear readers, is yes. Fuck, yes. I am a fiend for Picross - logic puzzles where you fill in a pixel image based on numeric clues (also known by nonograms, pixel puzzles, and other names). I dove immediately from replaying the fantastic Mario’s Super Picross (available for Switch Online subscribers in the SNES app - it is a must-play!) into the subject of this post, Pixel Puzzle Makeout League. 

We are truly living in the renaissance period for Picross. In the old days, you had to wait years between releases of the Nintendo published series. Here and there, you might find an obscure Japanese import to help fill the gap. However, the advent of downloadable games, indie development, and mobile platforms have created more than enough takes on the core concept to give Picross fiends the constant drip feed needed to stave off the shakes (I feel seen). In addition to a bunch of variants of classic Picross, we have Picross-with-colors (Pic-a-Pix Deluxe, Piczle Colors), Picross-with-layers (Depixtion), graphic adventures (Piczle Cross Adventure), RPGs (PictoQuest), and murder mysteries (Murder by Numbers). Now, Pixel Puzzle Makeout League (PPML) introduces romance to the mix.

If you have never played one of these games before, it is worth taking a step back and explaining the core concept. You start with an empty grid. Each row and column of the grid has a series of numbers on it. Your goal is, simply, to fill the correct cells in the grid to create an image. You can think of it as a form of “paint-by-numbers”, where you need to identify the right spaces to mark to form a pixel-art painting.

The numbers on a row or a column tell you how many spots need to be filled in. If you see a “5″, you know that a five-block sequence will need to be filled, while blocks before and after those five will remain unfilled. To figure out which five need filled, you need to look at the corresponding columns (if you are working on a row) and see if you can match the conditions placed by the numbers on each of those. You will often see multiple numbers, like “2 3″, indicating that there are multiple sequences that will be filled in. In this case, the row would have a sequence of two filled-in blocks, then later, a second sequence of three filled-in blocks. At least one unfilled cell must exist between the two sequences. Again, you need to use the other clues to identify where the two sequences lie in the row.

That’s about all there is to it. Identify the spaces to fill, mark off those you know will not be filled, and try to complete the picture as fast as you can without making any mistakes. PPML offers both touch and button controls, but I’d really recommend just using the buttons. I feel the same about all of these Picross games - the buttons just give you more precision. 

As pictures get larger, keeping track of all of the numbers becomes a tougher task. Even as a novice, you can probably complete 5x5 or 10x10 puzzles without breaking a sweat. As the puzzles grow, you may find it a little harder to keep track of everything. Still, try not to panic. A great thing about these puzzles is that you should never have to make a blind guess. There is always enough information to unravel the next spot - it just may take some searching to identify it.

Pixel Puzzle Makeout League mostly sticks to the traditional Picross format - eschewing twists like colors or layers that other games have applied. This is fine. Even as someone who has solved thousands of these puzzles, there are so many different images you can form that it is not like the format itself grows stale. The actual puzzle quality in PPML is solid - nothing that will drive you insane in terms of difficulty, but not too easy either. There is a satisfying quantity and variety of puzzles, and there are a ton of bonus puzzles you can solve on the size to unlock themes - or when you want to take a break from reading. 

No, the core “twist” in PPML is the dating sim side of the game. Really, like Murder by Numbers, PPML is a visual novel. The game is broken into a series of scenes, where you read though dialogue between the characters and puzzles are used to accentuate the drama. The story revolves around a group of “superheroes” - four people who have been imbued with supernatural skill at solving different forms of puzzles by a mysterious power. 

Our protagonist, Pixel Girl, is the newest recruit to the Puzzle League, and is able to solve pixel puzzles with finesse and grace. Sudoku is a shy gamer who just wants to get back to her MMO group. Leader Chess is the tactical “genius” of the group, while Crossword uses his endless reservoir of knowledge to solve mysteries. Finally, we have Piecea. Piecea is... Well... Piecea is a sentient puzzle piece from another planet. He? She? They are, naturally, really good at puzzles. 

At the beginning of the game, Pixel Girl is kidnapped by a mysterious villain, Villain, who seems quite intent on getting her to join him in his sinister plot. You escape, but the next day, a massive “puzzle tower” emerges over the city. Together with your fellow Puzzle Leaguers, you need to put a stop to Villain before he can begin his reign of terror. 

As you can imagine, based on this description, PPML is not the most serious of games. The story and dialogue are actually really fun and well-written. The game itself is full of jokes about the different genres of puzzle involved, and the entire thing is just the right mix of humor, charm, and the surreal to be entertaining. I mean, it’s a game about a bunch of puzzle-based superheroes, and you can date a sentient puzzle piece. How is that not amazing?

The actual “romance” portion of the game comes into play at points where the game splits into different paths you can take, where you pick one of the characters to tag along with. During these alternate paths, you get to know the character you picked and grow closer to them. A nice feature of this is that your choice is not binding - as the plot always converges back to a central path, you can feel free to explore the potential relationships with each or all of the characters. You also get different puzzles along each path, giving more incentive to see every conversation. I’m a fan of Sudoku, but - come on - I also had to see what happened with the alien puzzle piece. How could you not? Really, all of the characters are charming enough that it is worth going down all of their paths. 

In truth, I’m not generally into dating sims, or even really the romance elements of most games. They tend to be some mixture of cheese, creepy, or just badly written. Here, the writing is cute and clever enough that I like it. There is just the right blend of romance and sarcasm to make it all work. 

Pixel Puzzle Makeout League is fantastic. It is a fun and clever take on the Picross formula, effectively using puzzles to liven up the visual novel. The writing is fantastic - a bit metatextual, a bit tongue-in-cheak, and a lot of genuine charm. All of it presented with nice art and enough puzzles to keep you busy for quite a while. If you are into the general Picross drama, then PPML is absolutely worth a look.

Just watch out for that alien puzzle piece.

OMG, Jerry is cute! XD

He definitely is! Fay and him are such a great couple as well, I’m glad story progression put them together ^^.

I'm so happy you found inspiration. :D I hope you finish those stories this year. Have a woeful year!! <3

Thank you! I don’t think I’d be able to finish those novels within a year haha, but let’s see how far I get! 

@shhhushhh replied to your post “My new year’s blabla post :)”

Happy New Year! I absolutely share your oppinion on how many great writers and people as a whole are here on Tumblr. And it's a great joy to communicate with them. And you are one of them ❤ Cheers, dear!

I always see so many posts complaining about the bad sides of the simblr community so I thought it was about time someone said something nice haha.

@pixelionary replied to your post “Get to know me tag”

Ooh Seoul! That would be a nice place to visit!

I can definitely recommend it. It’s one of the most interesting cities I ever visited and I’ve traveled a lot :).

@sigourneybarriere replied to your post “My new year’s blabla post :)”

Happy new year darling, and we readers are the ones to thank you for your writing, which give us a escape from the stress of everyday life!! Keep up the good work!! -hugs

Thank you for your kind words!! I hope you’ll enjoy my stories in 2018 as much as you did in 2017 ^^.

@stepawayfromthecarrot replied to your post “My new year’s blabla post :)”

Awh this is so sweet! You have so much talent, I'm glad you have this outlet for it even when it's hard to get inspired for your other writing projects. I actually have a big writing project myself for a long story that I've had sitting around with notes and stuff for literal years that i might finally get back into... wish me luck! I hope you can find the inspiration to get back to writing your other stories because i would love to read those too someday!!

@stepawayfromthecarrott replied to your post “My new year’s blabla post :)”

So happy new year and may 2018 bring you lots of good vibes and inspiration ����

Thank you dear! Please let me know if I can read your writing project somewhere and I’ll definitely check it out :). Good luck!!

Such a cozy looking place :o

Thanks :D

@stepawayfromthecarrot replied to your photoset “The Colony of Salmon Woods - current couples! Happy new year everyone!...”

Hunter moved on fast

He did, that’s the beauty of story progression in sims, lol. But Violet did as well. Things have to move at a certain speed in sims otherwise they’ll all be elders by the time they get to the baby making :P. And I even have YA and adult on max!

@rosiesimming replied to your photoset “Some pics of our first two male suitors for Madelyn, Richard and Set,...”

*excited*

I’m excited to write Richard into the story!

*screams internally* YEESSS. I know I should be logical and be like, "this is just going to be so much drama for everyone!" but I can't! MY SHIP! XD

I’m glad you’re happy haha! In all honesty the plot mainly exists in the way it does now because I wanted Violet to have babies from both Hunter and Davey lol.

@rosiesimming replied to your post “End of the Year Tag - The Avesnes Aristocracy”

This makes me sad, too! JUSTINE! T__T

I miss her too :(.

@dandylion240 replied to your photoset “The Year 2240, Day 6 - Violet’s Journal (2) After my time with John I...”

I think she needs to consider that she's part of the problem. At no time did she tell Hunter that he needed to do more until she couldn't handle that he wasn't doing more than he was supposed to change overnight. She needs to grow up as much as he does. Yeah she works and makes money but she sure doesn't know how to communicate.

That’s definitely true! She just expected Hunter to read her mind, though Hunter also never took the trouble to properly talk to Violet about his own issues. In Sims they do need to change overnight though because time moves fast and I don’t want Violet to be an elder while her kids are still kids haha.

@ktarsims replied to your photoset “The Year 2240, Day 6 - Violet’s Journal I don’t want to go home to...”

Oh dear. Another rash decision.

@ktarsims replied to your photoset “The Year 2240, Day 6 - Violet’s Journal (2) After my time with John I...”

Hmmmm. I still think this was a rash decision. Not that his behavior is acceptable, but she's hormonal and emotional and she just made a very quick decision (again). She needs to learn to talk more and stop making snap decisions before she's even talked to people.

The decisions she made were rash from the start, but that’s also because of me because I wanted things to move along so that they wouldn’t be too old by the time they all settled permanently. Even though I slowed down story progression as much as possible, the town moved around at about the same pace as the story. Try to think of the years (which are 7 simdays) as real human years. So even though it’s just 7 simdays, convert them in your brain to 365 days. If you think of it like that, time and events in the story move at a more natural pace :). We started in the year 2238, we’re now in the year 2241! So 3 years have passed. Violet spent about a year finding a partner, a year living with him in peace and then another year where things went downhill and she broke up and moved on to Davey.

@rosiesimming replied to your photoset “The Year 2240, Day 6 - Violet’s Journal (2) After my time with John I...”

Goooood. Yes. Pave the way for a real man! coughDaveycough :D

You guessed that right!

Maddy is still as gorgeous as ever! I'm excited for this!

She’s definitely a very pretty sim I love taking pictures of her gorgeous face! She has many great expressions as well.

Awww, so cute! Maddie is adorable!

Thank you! :D Also, I know I owe you a message, and it’s incoming shortly. I’ve just been trying to decide the best fit. Because I was (and am!) so excited, and I don’t want to waste this opportunity. <333

Maddie is always gorgeous, I'm sorry I can't say the same about Kit haha! ;)

Haha, no worries! I have ALWAYS hated his face, but people keep talking me out of changing it. XD Thank you so much about Maddie, though. ♥

willky12 replied to your photoset “I finished retexturing the Midnight Hollow hospital rabbit hole this...”

The windows are the most obvious difference but the brick work also makes it look more tidy for sure, good work!

I’m so glad you think so! Tidier is exactly what I was going for, but I’m not very sure of myself (especially when it comes to anything texture related) so I really appreciate your feedback. :)

willky12 replied to your photoset “I think I’m finally getting the hang of it!” Madeleine exclaims,...”

Two words, blood and work! I'm worried already :'( I had to also have a laugh at West, not like he's never seen them before hehe!

I swear, you must be one of my most perceptive readers! You always pick up on the little things that I try to add without anyone noticing, haha! But I do appreciate how much attention you pay. Even when I make mistakes or am trying to be sneaky. XD <333

D'aaaww Madeleine looks adorable! I don't think Kit looks bad, but I'm so guilty of tweaking my sims haha!

Thanks, Alexandra! :D I am guilty of it too, haha. I try not to do it as much with my story sims, but I have tweaked all of them at some point. It’s just so hard to resist, especially when I look at them and see potato faces (i.e. Kit, haha).

goatkibble replied to your photoset “I think I’m finally getting the hang of it!” Madeleine exclaims,...”

And give the poor nurse a break guys, the lady is just doing her job and West IS both tall, dark and sinister as well as there out of hours, lurking around a new mother's room bahahahaha.

Yeah, I agree with you about the nurse. She didn’t have to be so grumpy about it, but at the same time I’m sure she knows what Maddie’s husband looks like and realizes that Westley is not him. And he IS a criminal after all. XD

goatkibble replied to your photoset “I think I’m finally getting the hang of it!” Madeleine exclaims,...”

Breastfeeding is a beautiful & natural act but unfortunately there are some people who have sexualised boobs so much that's all they think of when they see breasts instead of what they were intended for. And since you had no idea who may walk past and see this while someone is reading it at work or whatever the safest action was to tag is not safe for work just in case :3

Thank you. I sincerely appreciate it, gk. I know we discussed it earlier, but the idea that I might get someone in trouble (at work or school or wherever) is what really tipped the scales for me. Because even though I completely agree with you about breastfeeding, I'd just rather be on the safe side.

goatkibble replied to your photoset “I finished retexturing the Midnight Hollow hospital rabbit hole this...”

It looks great. Like everything you create :)

goatkibble replied to your photoset “Madeleine’s prom night, complete with awkward smiles and ugly...”

gaiahypothesims replied to your photoset “Madeleine’s prom night, complete with awkward smiles and ugly...”

No tweaking!!! I agree! Leave them alone!

Hahaha, but it’s so hard! I will try to resist, however. For now. XD Thank you (and goatkibble) for talking some sense into me. ♥

msmidnightblonde replied to your photoset “I think I’m finally getting the hang of it!” Madeleine exclaims,...”

breastfeeding is breastfeeding. If people are offended that's their problem. :) But I know what you mean. Also, that little nurse seemed so nice and now I'm not so sure. hah

Haha, yeah, I intended for the nurse to come across nice but protective? If that makes sense. XD And grumpy too, ahahaha. Thanks for commenting! :)

She is definitely a spoiled princess, especially at that age (as a teenager), but I’m flattered that you find her adorable. Thank you! :)

sims3hasstoppedworking replied to your photoset “I finished retexturing the Midnight Hollow hospital rabbit hole this...”

I'm in my phone so I can't see every small detail but I like windows and brick (at least I think it's brick haha) texture in your version!

You have a good eye! It is brick. :D And thank you! I really appreciate it. I am a perfectionist and never entirely happy with my creations, so hearing positive feedback never fails to make my day. ♥

sims3hasstoppedworking replied to your photoset “I think I’m finally getting the hang of it!” Madeleine exclaims,...”

I can't with West being all shy

Haha! Yeah, he is being unnecessarily bashful and awkward in that scene. XD However, my thoughts behind using that pose for him was that West would want to try to be respectful and not interfere, but of course him hiding his eyes was a teeny bit melodramatic. :P

hyperkaos replied to your photoset “I finished retexturing the Midnight Hollow hospital rabbit hole this...”

I like the uniformity of yours better. It looks like all the shades are pulled down. It brightens it up some. :)

*happy dances* Yes, I thought so too, but I wasn’t sure if it was too uniform. So YAY! I’m super excited that you noticed AND liked that aspect of it. Thank you!

hyperkaos replied to your photoset “I think I’m finally getting the hang of it!” Madeleine exclaims,...”

MPO is breastfeeding is a natural thing, no nsfw needed. That second pic is priceless. lol

I absolutely agree with you about breastfeeding being a natural thing, but I decided I’d rather be safe about it than risk it. I’m a wimp, lol. But anyway, yesssss, the second picture is one of my all time favorites. :D Westley is awkward sometimes, lol!

LMFAOOO AT LOOKS LIKE TROUBLE

LOL! The nurse is definitely being extraordinarily judgmental in this scene, but in all fairness it’s late at night, well after visiting hours are over, and Westley is hanging around a new mother’s hospital room. The woman is wrong about what’s going on in this case, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable that she’d jump to conclusions here. Anyway, thank you for reading and commenting! <333

theothersim replied to your photoset “Carmen’s housewarming party proceeds in the most predictable fashion....”

This comment sums up my own feelings about Eugenia and her relationship with Westley pretty damn perfectly. I couldn’t agree more! :D

heysimbutt replied to your photoset “I think I’m finally getting the hang of it!” Madeleine exclaims,...”

the tag is intended for people scrolling through tumblr in publci or at work, so I say it's fine to have it. not that there's anything wrong with breast feeding, but it would be difficult to explain your way out of that situation if a coworker happens to look over your shoulder lol

Thank you! That was precisely my concern about not tagging it. People at work or school. I know it probably doesn’t need it, but I hated the idea of getting someone in trouble. Anyway, I’m glad you agree with my decision, and thanks for reading! <3
