hiii what's up! here's a short little thing ft. plenty of blood :) hope you enjoy!

His mouth tastes like blood. The air smells like it, metallic and heavy and warm. The only thing he can hear, besides the sound of his own heartbeat pounding in his ears, is Karppi. 

“Fuck, fuck, fuck. Hey, keep your arm raised!”

He obeys, though his muscles are getting tired. He rests his arm carefully against the hard concrete wall behind him, feels the blood dripping down his skin and soaking into his sleeve. 

There is an unconscious man lying on the ground a few feet away, and the knife he’d had is currently being used by Karppi to tear her shirt into strips. Sakari watches her work and tries to ignore how lightheaded he feels. 

The cut across his wrist is deep and painful. The knife had cut him almost down to the bone, he thinks, and the bleeding is heavy and hot against his skin. 

They are waiting for an ambulance, but they’re in the middle of nowhere and it is taking too long to arrive. So Karppi is making bandages. 

When her shirt is thoroughly destroyed, Karppi moves forward into his space, takes hold of his arm without allowing him to lower it, and uses the knife to cut the fabric of his shirt away from his wrist. She is careful and it does not cause him any more pain, but it takes all of his willpower not to flinch or tell her to stop. The knife’s blade is still speckled with his blood.

When his sleeve has been cut away at last, Sakari looks upwards at the damage. The skin around the cut is stained bright red and the cut is a darker shade of maroon, fresh blood continually pumping out of the wound and trickling down his arm. 

He looks away rather quickly.

Karppi does not waste any time. She wraps one strip of fabric around his wrist, directly atop the cut, and ties it tightly. It hurts horribly, but Sakari grits his teeth and bears it. He tries not to think about how dirty the fabric might be, pressed against his open wound. For now, it is enough that the bleeding slows. He can worry about everything else later.

Another few strips are tied atop the initial bandage. When Karppi finally runs out of material, Sakari can barely feel his hand for the pressure exerted by the tightly-tied fabric, but he’s pretty sure the bleeding has indeed slowed. 

He carefully lowers his arm, rests it in his lap. This time, Karppi does not stop him. He leans his head back against the cool concrete and closes his eyes. His head is still spinning. 

He hears a shuffling noise, feels Karppi sink down beside him. She grabs the hand on the uninjured side of his body and squeezes it. He can feel his blood on her fingers. 

“You’ll be okay,” she says, like there is no room for argument, and he believes her, just like that. 

thanks for reading! hope you liked it, love u <3

recipes in comic form

read a thing about save the recipes you like cuz they'll get lost.

I don't always post on Tumblr, cuz it's my play space where i find fandom goodness.

But anyhoo... here's the main link of where they're posted and then I'm gonna see how many pictures I can shove in a post 🤣

And now the rest (if i can do the under the cut thing:

This taco bake one is a page in the middle of a larger story. I clipped it out and put it in the recipes section. Its super cheesey good.

Butter cookies, easy ingredients list, complicated to make. Very good though (and has been tested with gluten free flour, it worked 1:1 very well) (later we tested with miyokos vegetable butter, because another member of the household has dairy allergies. That worked 1:1 as well, it was a little harder to roll the dough thinner though. Baked just fine)

My only advice is don't mix up baking soda and baking powder. It made them weirdly hard.

Gingerbread that's spicy good 🥰 definitely recommend! (If y'all make constructions with this, I'd love to see the photos)

This one is also spicy goodness. (A bland pumpkin pie is sad to me 😅)

There are more, i have to put them to the site. (Deviled eggs and french onion are definitely on my main comic site. Future edit to come)

trick or treat!!

I was tryna come up with a clever and funny thing to say about giving a trick instead of a treat or how I missed this ask until 2 days after Halloween and then it just dawned on me that I totally got tricked on Halloween. USPS delivered a fucked up package, like the flaps on one side were all taped sticking up with one of those "sorry we ruined your mail" slips holding that side of the box closed with a bunch of tape, and inside was just a large wooden embroidery hoop too large for the box. the trick here being mail theft, 'cause this box was sent by a company that only sells nail polish and nail accessories.

Anyway here's a treat!! 🍬🎃🍫

Okay, with all the pictures and shells and fish and whatnot sorted, it was back to regular gameplay -- just in time to see Kelly sampling the fish platter I'd had to leave on the counter because I couldn't get it to drag into the fridge right away. XD I quickly got it away from her while I directed Victor to say hi to Shadow (who was very happy to see him again), Alice to grab the eggs out of the coop (two hatchable and one regular -- really gotta clear out all those roosters), and Smiler --

To start decorating the place! Or, well, to FINISH decorating it, more accurately, as I'd spent a little time dragging all their various Spookfest decorations, along with the two pumpkin carving stations, out of the attic while getting their pictures and souvenirs sorted. Some fun purple icicle lights for the eaves and black-and-white ghost banners on the fences completed the look --

As did Alice starting her pumpkin! Because a) you gotta have jack-o-lanterns for Spookfest and b) in my personal experience, the best way to complete the "Spooky Spirit" tradition is to carve a pumpkin -- interacting with ghosts and occult Sims is kind of iffy at best to get it to fire. *shakehead* Oh Sims 4... I naturally had her carve up a kitty pumpkin, on a pale orange pumpkin -- and she did so well that it turned out to be a masterpiece! :) Alice is just good at The Arts, what can I say.

And right after that, the first trick-or-treater showed up at the house! Smiler at the time was busy in the greenhouse brewing up a soothing skin balm potion (and getting their Herbalism skill up to level 6), while Victor was busy bathing Shadow (and then magicking away the resultant puddles), so it fell on Alice to give the visiting teen a trick or a treat. I had her quickly change into a costume, picking "space ranger" more or less at random, and give the kid some candy. Because she's a nice lady at heart, even if her "Loner" trait means she actually ignores the "Trick Or Treat" tradition herself. I then sent her inside to paint while Smiler started on their jack-o-lantern (a white one with a big grin on it, natch) and I sent Victor down to begin his (an orange one with an owl design, because I hadn't seen that one yet) --

And then, upon seeing the pets both downstairs, I went "hang on -- doesn't Kelly have a taco outfit? I should dress her up in that for Halloween! And Shadow as -- oh, wait, all she has is her little sweater and bow-tie...looks like we're popping into CAS for a second to get her a costume too!"

And so I did, choosing one of the "super-llama" outfits for her (in yellow and black, because you know that Smiler picked this out XD). Alice put Shadow and Kelly into their Halloween costumes, played a little bit of laser pointer with Kelly, then headed into the studio to do a playful painting, while Victor and Smiler got back to work on their pumpkins (going into CAS had knocked them out of their actions, and Smiler in particular had to start over because the game wouldn't let me resume their previous pumpkin, meh). So that was Alice and the pets all dressed up for the holiday...
