#god bless you for knowing me so well tori lmao

[brightaxe]

is there any better feeling than telling a friend that you're really into a character and having them go, "oh, yeah, i met them and totally thought they were your type"??? the VALIDATION. i'm in HEAVEN.

(April’s)Huevember - Day 15!

featuring: Kora, Skio, & Eury

[in which I’ve made my very own #Huevember wheel this year (that you can use too! Pls tag me I’d LOVE to see!) - unabridged version continues, including a wide array of Elysium’verse characters across the rainbow!]

HALFWAY MARK! a familiar face in Eury and a set of twins VERY obscure, or at least just in the fact that I never draw them at their current age of 4/5ish!! babby girl Skiophoros or Skio for short, and her living shadow twin sister lurking happily as always behind her, Korakinos aka Kora— NOTES!!

first things first I love Eury so much. yes that is a real vulture corpse on his shoulders. uwuwu cutie

SO Skio & Kora are the biological daughters of Epi (husband of Eury up here) and Tory (Maci’s husband, obv not shown) - for once not an oopsie baby ! (well. Kora the twin was a surprise lmfao), after the circumstances of his pregnancy with Vryk left him unable to bear more children and since Eury’s pregnancy w Izzy had been so difficult, Epi and Eury had asked Tory to act as sort of “surrogate” which he did with Maci’s blessings :’))

stressing again and again to you, Audience Reading This, that the bulk of the palace is…. Well, Greek god pantheon so, a wild family tree but more importantly just one gigantic mushed together family sooo. all these crossbred kids in one giant blended family unit are all mushed together. Skio & Kora just have a total of four parents lmao

Kora’s deal is… weeelll all the lights went out when Skio had been born and that made more sense when a few months later, her shadow detached from herself and started to cry lmAO. TWO!!!

Skio & Kora , we think, are some sort of sleep paralysis goddesses but they’re currently so baby that no one really knows :-) I’ve literally never drawn them at their current age so their go to hair and look is subject to change!! but look how cute they areeee

now that I’m reentering some better colors my group drawings are resuming so expect more people stuffed in these pics asdfkf

all three of these guyses belong to @fenixethekid !! click the link up above to see the whole Huevember wheel - feel free to use the tag AceprilHuevember if u want to play too - and my tag this year can be found here!!

[soleconfidante]

was tagged by @midnightin, @fiveyaaas and @jubberry, thank you sm !! 🌼

rules: tell us a lil bit about the fics that got ya started, the vibe fics, the gateway fics, the ones that made you think, “oh shit......I ship it.”

im tagging @andthebalance, @apocalypsefive, @pbmarshmallowsandwich, @eh-meh, @hellstenglow and anyone who might want to gush about the fantastic fics that we have in this fandom :^)

i must say that by the time i started reading fics i had already been a fiveya enthusiast for a bit BUT these are some of the firsts that i read and they definitely sparked more of my love towards the ship

a storm you can weather by rappaccini

i remember this being my introduction to fiveya fics and i couldnt have picked something better bcs it left such an impact on me that i have to read it again every now and then. the atmosphere is perfect, i could see everything described so clearly in my head and i adored this “grittier” take on vanya. the ending always makes me smile after all that angst. what i mean to say is you absolutely cant miss this one (or any of the other works by the author for that matter). “He goes to Griddys, and takes a butter knife to a gunfight.” [chefs kiss] outstanding line. its also a character study that is incredibly well thought-out. 

the pull of you by sweetheartbitterheart

AHHHH so many feelings about this one, a whole classic imo. regency au, served the whole p&p vibes and more. super talented author once again. i was holding my breath or giggling like a dumbass at ALL of their interactions throughout this, the prose, dialogues and subtleties are delicious. side-characters on point too!!!!! 

Nothing Will Ever Be Enough by fiveyaaas

well, it wouldnt be a fiveya fic rec without tori who is always blessing the fandom w/ their works. this was the first fic that i read by them and some time later i can say without a doubt that their smuts and fics as a whole never fail to deliver, this is def an uhhhhh intense and angsty one for sure. god tier, the jealousy was delightful. 👀👀👀👀 sparrow!five/vanya/five, enough said.

nearly didn't notice the gentlest feeling by sweetheartbitterheart

another one that i cherish a lot... actually, let me just go ahead and pretend this is canon instead of s2. it captures the vibe that five and vanya have in the show so well, their tenderness makes my heart combust. “So you still love me?" she tries to play it off as teasing but there's a hint of insecurity in her voice, some shyness in her smile. Five can't allow that. "Of course I do.” YUPPP the tears are falling forever after that. also the hargreeves dynamics here are portrayed wonderfully, vanya remebering what she did to allison for example was heartbreaking and a cathartic moment we deserved. also ben knowing all along is too real lmao.

klaus at the end was the cherry on top obviously, big same. 

[hellomygf]

when my own words aren’t enough

okay so you know that one direction song that’s made of other song titles, “Better Than Words”. same concept here except not really and you just listen to the lyrics of the songs LMAO. anyways sometimes the words of others can convey better what im trying to say to you so enjoy 19 songs that do so. i highlighted some of the lyrics that really made me think of you/us. click on links on then click on togepi

Love Like This - Ben Rector

“Never used to get excited to sit here in the silence Holdin' on to somethin' the way I'm holdin' you Didn't used to know how fast time walks and runs and flies by I never thought I'd feel so deeply, but damn, I do

i never knew i could feel so happy just doing the mundane things with you. walking and talking, going out for drives, sitting and eating food. time goes by so fast when im with you. i always wish time would slow down and let it stop for awhile just so i can have a couple moments of just us yeno? you make me want to spend more time with you even when we just finished spending a whole evening together. there’s so many new feelings that ive experienced since ive been with you and i cant wait to keep feeling new ones 

All I’ve Ever Known - Eva Noblezada and Reeve Carney (Hadestown)

All I've ever known is how to hold my own But now I wanna hold you, too

for the past couple years i learned how to love myself again and how to be okay with being alone. alone doesnt mean im lonely but it did mean that i had built up my walls again and letting someone in new again was so scary. you made it seem okay though. you made sure that when i was opening up to you and being vulnerable that it was okay to do so. that i wouldnt be hurt and that i was safe. i learned how to love romantically again and learned what it feels like when you arms wrap around me and hold me. it’s currently my favourite feeling and i dont think i ever want it to end

roses & sunflowers - Timmy Albert

You're a flower that's blooming every season with spring I fell in love with your roots, the whole you, everything

i mentioned before that falling in love with you was like how the seasons changed. like you know it comes but it’s always different. this isnt my first time in love but it’s most definitely something very different. a good different. im in love with every part of you. from the way you make your puns to the way you buy me things that show you care (my favourite foods, my ddr adapter, and most recently itch cream) to the way you sing in the car to me to how you tell me about your good and bad days. i love it all!

Favourite Girl - Jesse Barrera and Tori Kelly

My baby, She still drives me crazy After all this time, You better believe that Nothings greater, She still makes me better After all this time You're still my Favorite Girl

BONUS:  I remember when, You didn't know how to kiss  (hehehhe) Now you know me well, And nothing compares to this 

best girl. favourite girl! is maxbean hehe jkjk.. maybe. we both do some whack ass stuff but there’s no one else i would rather be having fun with than you! you make me better in every way. you encourage me to keep going even when days are rough. you support me on my good and bad days so im here to remind you too that im here for you always okie?

No Matter Where You Are - Us the Duo

I will stand by you Even when we fall I will be the rock, that holds you up and lifts you high so you stand tall

whatever the world throws at us, whether that be a pandemic or people who dont support us, im going to uplift you and us in every way that i can. i want to be a pillar of strength for you and show that even though am baby and that i am smol that i am a girlfriend that you can count on to show up by your side. i got your back from now till however long

Tattooed Heart - Ariana Grande

You don't need to worry about making me crazy 'Cause I'm way past that So just call me, if you want me 'Cause you got me, and I'll show you, how much I wanna be On your tattooed heart

honestly this is just one of my favourite love songs ever so i just wanted to add it into the playlist lmao

Lemonade - Jeremy Passion 

She's so beautiful, sometimes I stop to close my eyes She's exactly what I need She's my smile when I'm feeling blue She's my good night sleep when my day is through yeah

i say this all the time but i love looking at you oh my god skjskjs like YOU. ARE. LITERALLY. MY. TYPE. lmaooOOSKSKJkj. other than physically being my type you really do embody everything that i need in a partner. kind, compassionate, genuine, good communicator and listener. you make sure that i dont fall asleep sad and you make sure that im okay on my not so good days. i love you so much

I Was Made For Loving You - Tori Kelly ft. Ed Sheeran 

A stranger's hand clutched in mine I'll take this chance, so call me blind I've been waiting all my life

i took a chance on someone i really didnt know anything about but my god i think it’s the best thing that ive done 

Ger Here - Sam Smith 

I don't care how you get here, just get here if you can

this reminds me of the time you bused through a snow storm just to study with me at utsc. also just in general whenever you make the effort to come all the way here to my house just to spend time with me and even then you end up driving us downtown or to different places too. you are truly the definition of “if there’s a will, there’s a way”

goodnight n go - Ariana Grande 

Oh, why'd you have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you Why must you make me laugh so much? It's bad enough we get along so well Just say goodnight and go

“why do you make it so hard to say good bye” something we both always say haha. one of these days we’ll have a night together and we’ll fall asleep together and wake up together too. one day! very excited for that day where we can say good night and stay

While We’re Young - Jhene Aiko

I'm tellin' everybody you're mine and I like it And I really hope you don't mind, I can't fight it

[...]

I'm giving you my heart, please don't break it Take it and lock it up and put me in your pocket, love

i tell everyone youre my girlfriend because haha im so happy to be dating you and telling everyone you make me so happy so yeno just a subtle flex. it’s also so scary fully giving myself to someone physically, mentally, and emotionally. to trust that you will safeguard my feelings and that you wont hurt me but i know youre scared of the same thing too, i guess even more so since im your first girlfriend. i promise i’ll protect your heart too. water it, nourish it, and let it grow into something even greater

Blessed - Daniel Caesar 

And yes, I'm a mess but I'm blessed to be stuck with you

ive told you since the beginning that i didnt want to bring you into this until i could fix and improve my mental health. i think that way of thinking was me associating my ability to love with how healthy i am. that’s not fair because i am capable of loving others even when im not at my 100% best. im so very grateful that you are there with me when im dealing with my mean/negative thoughts and that you can help ground me and be there to let me ride out my sad days. 

Runnin’ Home to You (cover) - Jake Spencer 

Can't say how the days will unfold Can't change what the future may hold But, I want you in it Every hour, every minute

i can see you in my future for a long time my love. i hope you can see the same as well 

Please Keep Loving Me - James TW 

For all the mistakes I'm making, I don't mean (I don't mean them, I don't mean them) For all the little things That I fail to see

please be patient because sometimes i wont be able to get things right the first time around. i tend to be a little slow when doing things and i come quite late to events. so even on days when i may be difficult to be around, please do your best to keep loving me and i’ll do my best to make it easier again.

Nothing - Bruno Major

There's not many people I'd honestly say I don't mind losing to But there's nothing Like doing nothing With you

no need for an explanation.. -_- 3rd date. d&b. mario kart. fan... hhh but i mean guess this also applies just in general whenever we play games and i lose lmao. honestly though doing nothing with you is still so fun for me. from making puns in a grocery store, to watching movies on my couch, to watching the sunset together by the water. nothing is better than doing nothing with you :)

Teenage Dream (cover) - Boyce Avenue 

Before you met me I was alright, but things Were kinda heavy You brought me to life Now every February You'll be my Valentine, Valentine

i think this applies to both of us in a sense that we were (and still are) both dealing with some not fun stuff when we first met each other, but we have each other now to get through it together. at the time, it had already been a few months since my falling out with you-know-who and just a couple months since i had decided to get help for my mental health stuff. i remember feeling so touched when i first told you about everything because you had made the conscious effort to reassure me and soothe me by holding my hand and looking at me when i got anxious talking about it. that was the moment i knew that you would be someone special in my life and someone i wanted to keep for a long time as well.  so im hoping that next year (and for the next foreseeable years) you can be my valentine haha

Only Us - Lauren Dreyfuss and Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen)

I never thought there'd be someone like you who would want me So I give you ten thousand reasons to not let me go But if you really see me If you like me for me and nothing else Well, that's all that I've wanted for longer that you could possibly know

while i have grown up with some great and amazing people who have made me feel so loved. ive also grown up and have come across some not nice people as well. they made me feel like i wasn’t worth it or made me feel small and not wanted. it’s not a nice feeling being shut down when youre just trying your best to get to know others or when you talk about the things you like and people become uninterested. i guess you can say that’s what contributed to why i dont want to show my whole self yet to new people at first. im scared that i will scare them away and they wont like me. so when you, a total stranger at the time, wanted to get to know me more, genuinely enjoyed my company, and wanted to spend more time with me, i was like “wow someone new actually LIKES me for ME?”. you dont understand how much it means to me that you made the effort to get to really know me and to still make the effort now to make me feel comfortable so i can be my whole self around you. i cant thank you enough. you make me WANT to talk about what i like and share my joy with you. thank you for letting me be me.

Take on the World - You Me at Six

I can see, see the pain in your eyes Oh, believe, believe me and I have tried No I won't, I won't pretend to know what you've been through You should've known, I wish it was me, not you 

i know there’s things you dont want to talk about and things you really cant talk about. knowing all the pain and hurt youve gone through has made you tough and strong but it sucks thinking of everything that youve had to face on your own. i wish i could take that pain away from you if i could. take it, ball it up, and throw it so far away that it never hurts you again. it is so very unfortunate that the saying goes “why do bad things happen to good people”. you dont deserve any of that. a good person like you deserves a life filled with unwavering support from those around you and days filled with boundless joy. i cant change the past or what other people think of you but what i can do is to do my best to make sure that even when you are hurt that you still feel loved and you still want to fight another day. you can do it, and i’ll be with you now for every new challenge that you face. your’re not alone

She Keeps Me Warm - Miranda Lambert 

She says I smell like safety and home I named both of her eyes forever and please don't go

[...]

And I can't change, even if I tried Even if I wanted to My love, my love, my love, my love

those first two lines are just so very nice to listen to. 

you and i both know that we cant change who we are and who we love. i think we’ve both had countless nights and thoughts of wanting to be straight so we wouldn’t have to deal with the consequences of loving the same gender. i know this past month has been especially hard for you though. im here to remind you that there’s nothing you need to change about you my love. i love you just how you are. your family may not understand it yet but i hope they will. i hope they understand that you make others around you feel so welcomed and loved. that you are the most selfless person that a lot of us have met. that you stick up for those who are mistreated and that you care for them. i wish they could see just how deeply you love and i feel like ive only scratched the surface of what your love is and can be. i want them to see how much i love you too and how you have made me a better person in all aspects. my parents, my cousins, and friends have all said that they have seen me change and become a softer person. my cousins say that you compliment me in the best ways and sand down my rough edges. i hope one day soon that they see all the love that emanates from you and that they can support you at least even a little bit. i hope they can see that love is love is love and that they learn to love all aspects of you too.

TIFI Chapter 1.5 Too Much Happens

In this chapter, I scream in agony. 

Abraham: “What if I were pregnant, too?”

I would kill a sim if you guys make me test if my portrait panel mod works. THERE BETTER BE A SINGLE BABY IN THERE, ISSY.

So I threw a birthday party for the twins because Issy wished for it. I wonder if Mochi is crying. 

Fun fact, the party wish was for Mochi but Hank Goddard was blocking Issy from getting her the entire party so I didn’t actually get the wish ;-; 

More importantly, HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE? I WANT THEM.

That’s Skittles aging up. Yay! 

She got the Eco-Friendly trait. I mean, it’s kind of interesting. I guess. 

Skittles: “This house is green, but not the good type of green.”

Mochi got the artistic trait, and that is her first painting in the background. 

Mochi: “My new artistic sense makes me realize our house is an eyesore.”

At least Connor is having fun. That kid there is Terrell Sekemoto, son of Emma Sekemoto and Leighton Sekemoto. And we see Ginny too. 

I missed it but apparently Iqbal Alvi married Tori Kimura so his last name changed. That must be awkward for his kids. 

This is the Keaton’s son I think. He has a... face. He looks kind of like a skull, in my eyes to be honest. 

Kind of? Also whatever that gif is from, I want to watch it. 

After I put them in their outfits I realized that they both have similar braids and I gave Skittles the braids Mochi had as a toddler. Oops? Thus, Mochi’s goggles. Also her eyebrows were scary.

I feel blessed that they’re fighting over cleaning up the plates.

KitKat: “You don’t have the skills for this, brother.”

Reeses: :(

REESES. MY POINTS. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO IS DOING THIS.

Reeses: “It’s Skittle’s fault!” 

Mochi: “Actually, I’m Mochi, brother.” 

I should probably make that bathroom bigger but I’m out of money. 

Remember when I said I’m out of money? I don’t think genies are cheating. 

Issy: “I must rub this lamp!”

Genie: “What do you want.”

Issy: “Beau-”

Issy. You’re already irresistable. And married. With five kids. And you’re pregnant. 

Issy: “Money.”

She rolled the wish for beauty but her slots were filled so it went away. Good. I’m not wasting this lamp. I’ve decided to make it more fair it’s going to be a once-per-generation thing. 

Issy: “OMG SPARKLES!”

I wouldn’t complain if you dropped a money bag on her head and killed her, Sims 2 Wishing Well Style. 

Awh they’re bonding. Also Mochi painting that picture is way after this picture. She hasn’t completed it yet. 

I’m keeping an ear on you. You will only play Dark Wave and Electronica, not kids music. 

Look the chess table and high chair is back! 

I’m not using that 100k for a full house until gen 2 where I update it in the heir’s colors. So until then just Issy’s greedy wishes and common sense is whats causing the buying. 

The bunk beds were annoying me when Abraham was reading kids to sleep, so I bought everyone individual beds. Isn’t it cute how they’re all together? Sorry for the walls being down, I didn’t want to heavily distort the view. 

Aw they’re sitting together! And I think Abraham is happy that either the twins aged up or there are two chairs for the table now because he didn’t use it before I sold it. 

That paint has only been there a week. It’s probably time to finish it. I really want a portrait of the heir and heir’s spouse to put in the basement of achievements. 

This table is blinding. But it was the cheapest long table. 

Pocky: “I hate you, always breaking, always dirty, toilet.”

I put toys outside for the kids to play with. And this is a full view of Skittles. I think she’s cute! 

Everyone is bonding! :D

What are the stages of eating a man, Issy?

Issy: “Gnomes are yummy!”

And so he was eaten by a giant. I’ve had this game, full expansions, for years, and never saw this. I guess it’s because I avoid parties lmao. 

My only issue with the playground stuff is the sims are outside at night and pictures are dark. 

KitKat: “This is depressing. The swings are better.”

You have four siblings, ask one of them to play with you!

Abraham really likes the chess table now! I guess it was the kids or the missing chair.

Issy: “I AM DISTURBED!”

PLEASE BE A SINGLE GIRL TO FULFILL THE WISHES.

Abraham: “Wait-another!?”

Good job Abraham. I mean, I guess you guys do have five kids. She’s going to be fine considering she had a home birth of triplets all on her own. 

Did I mention there’s a chance of quadruplets because of Story Progression?

Issy: *stares pensively out the window*

Welcome to hell, Twix Isbi! This single baby girl was born with Loner and Hates the Outdoors. 

I took a peek at her as an adult. She’s uh, kind of alright. Average, really. She took after her dad more than her sisters. 

Of course Pocky doesn’t go home after school. When does she? The bus is mocking me. 

Don’t worry. Mochi also wanted to stand in the rain after school instead of going home. 

Reeses went to a friends house. That is Michale McIrish. He’s the son of Fiona McIrish and Connor Frio. I wonder where his blonde hair came from?

He is blonde. He’s like Reeses blonde but the custom hair he’s modelling that I just got makes his hair look darker. Also the lighting in this house is atrocious. He’s a werewolf, likely because he was a Full Moon Baby. 

Skittles also went to a friends house. That is Terrell, again. They were bonding. Then he left her. 

Bonding again. Yay! 

All I’m saying is he really likes this chess set now. 

She decided to make her own food since nothing in the fridge was good. 

Issy was stir crazy so she brought Twix to the entertainment park where a show was going on to teach her how to talk. I wanted to watch a performance. 

Also Twix wasn’t happy to be here. She hates the outdoors. 

I was disappointed. Who are they all watching? There is no one! I hope this is a one time thing. I like this part of showtime, damn it!

Then Iqbal Kimura died. I was honestly watching all the elders arrive and was like “Welp someones dying.”

Issy: “FIGHT-O!”

Twix: “Fight-o!”

She did finish learning to talk as he died. 

I got them out of there in case they got a sad moodlet for watching someone die. Issy actually wanted to resurrect him but her wishes were full. THANK GOD.

Why do you try making my life hard, Issy?

Issy: “It’s just... SO SAD!”

Right, I think she’s over-emotional. 

So Issy rolled a wish. To woohoo with Abraham. Risky is currently at 10% for a pregnancy.

*SCREAMING* DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?

I DIDN’T WANT TO TEST THE PORTRAIT MOD SO SOON!

YOU DESERVE THAT. YOU BETTER HAVE A SINGLE BABY THAT IS THE GENDER YOU WISH FOR. 

Abraham got promoted so he promptly left work, got said promotion, and read his favorite book outside. Baby Incoming, Preparing with Vigilance. 

One of the kids brought this handsome chap home. His name is Rhett Kao. He’s a werewolf. 

It was here I realized Pocky was missing. She thought she could make it home before I noticed but I counted kids in the house and realized I was missing someone. 

She rolled a wish to have a baby while pregnant.

GEE, I WONDER WHAT BEING PREGNANT DOES FOR YOU?

Issy: :D

Can I use you for your genes?

Rhett: “I feel like I’ve made a fatal error coming here today.”

Look it’s birthday time! Also, did I mention Pocky and Reeses got honor roll? KitKat skipped a day so she didn’t get an A. 

The teens aged up. This is KitKat WHOSE EYES ARE CLOSED. GRR. I hate this chapter. No one is on my side. You know she has purple eyes. And let me tell you, she is gorgeous! She got Natural Cook.

This is Pocky. Pocky is also very pretty. She got the Dog Person trait. Boooring. 

And Reeses. Reeses continues to have like no personality, and he got Computer Whiz. Anyway, I warned you he looked like his dad. I gave him glasses because they kind of make him look better. 

Pocky: “WHO WOKE ME UP FOR THIS SHIT?”

She’s such a grumpy butt sometimes.

I honestly don’t know what to say about you. Don’t look so smug. 

Reeses: “Everyone went back to sleep?!”

Pocky: “I’ll fuck you up if you wake me again.”

KitKat: *Unresponsive*

Don’t look at me like that Issy. I’m still mad at you.
