I'm sorry, but what kind of accent does Ivan have? He's the only sim who speaks that way and now that he's more in focus, I can't help but wonder where he comes from! Also, while I'm at it, I've also noticed that you stay loyal to the Sim world ("speaking in Tartosan" "a Tartosan goddess", etc), and while it's obvious that Tartosa was based on Italy and Spain, do you imagine your characters being from real countries and with distinct cultural backgrounds?

hmmm idk that he really has an accent as such, it's more that he speaks more loosely/common than every one else. i don't really have voice claims or any real countries to pin these pixels to cos they're sims u kno, it'd probs get messy if i started tying things to irl and not others.. so nah, other than rough stuff like vaguely japanese for mt. komo or italy for tartosa i don't pin em to real places ig you could use my northern english accent as an example tho, like my mom is pretty well spoken but still northern right? so she pronounces her t's n shit but my accent is way more common and i drop all mine to a ridiculous extent (if i was to write butter or water the way i'd say it it's practically unreadable lol.. like bu'uer? bUHer?? idk lmao) so Ivan probs speaks like me tbh.. Tommy, Rhys and a couple others speak that way too and Oscar does when he's drunk

Hey Jules! 2, 9, 14, 19, 24, and 28 for the HBO War positivity ask game please ☺️

hi lou!! ofc ofc!! :)

2 - who are some your fav creators/mutuals?

i love all of my mutuals and every creator in the fandom bc everyone is just amazing!! but to list just a few @footprintsinthesxnd, yourself!! (@luckynumber4), @ep6bastogne @lamialamia @thewayisset @lewis-winters @jenkil @mads-weasley @hellofanidea @liptonwashere @malarkgirlypop @panzershrike-pretz @sweetxvanixlla @whollyjoly @samwinchesterslostshoe @next-autopsy @iceman-kazansky @heystovepipeboys @theflyingfin @cody-helix02 and many many more!

special shout out to the cult!! zim zam, my friends, zim zam!!! also i'm so sorry if i forgot to tag anyone!!

9 - a ship that you can't get enough of?

bradnate, andyeddie, snurgie, ronnix, lipluz, webgott, and no matter how much winnix i consume it never gets old so them too!

14 - your fav underrated character?

ooh this is always hard bc everyone classifies underrated as a different thing.. are burgie and harry underrated? if so, them! chuck grant, tab (this man is so loved he's can't be underrated but i couldn't not mention mr lover lover himself), alton more??? one of the most interesting easy co men for sure!! wish we had more of him (lol)

19 - what's your fav universally-accepted/fanon headcanon about a character?

ooh either all the nix childhood fanon or the andyeddie ghosts/afterlife/grief fanon.. yeah.. that hits the spot

24 - what wip from another creator are you most excited about?

all of @ep6bastogne's wips (yes i read all your tags about them in utter anticipation), @luckynumber4's burgie wip! anything @footprintsinthesxnd writes! same with @lewis-winters ALL of your wips sound so so sooooo up my street/my thing!! there are so many more but despite my plans to spend the day at home i actually have to leave the comfort of my bed and brave the cold outside, and i'm late already so i'm gonna have to stop listing, but it's very likely that i'm excited for almost every single wip any of you guys have!

28 - what's something that lives in your brain rent free and you want everyone to know about the show/the fandom/your works?

outside of hbowar??? oooh i have LOADS of things!! the thick of it!! it has such clever funny writing, the best dialogue and political satire ever, because it's just so true to life and accurate for uk politics. peter capaldi is fucking amazing in it! and you'll see a lot of uk actors that are famous for other things here. but yeah, it's just hilarious and witty and clever. love it. go watch it. ummm other than that, the korean band onewe!! please go listen to them, they are ridiculously talented and have the kindest most lovely and accepting fandom in the world. in fact, the hbo war fandom and onewe fandom are the only two fandoms i've ever felt happy and comfortable in. onewe write beautiful songs with the most gorgeous lyrics (they have a space series which is one of my all-time favourites). ALSO pride (2014) as a movie recommendation! this film is my comfort film but it tears me apart as well. some people watch it for the queerness and come away learning about welsh history too.. for others, it's the opposite. but as a welsh gay man for me both those elements are so important to who i am and my own identity, that this film is just feels so incredibly special to me. especially the character gethin who i really feel i can relate to a lot due to our circumstances. tim roth is someone who i always wanna shout about and who lives rent free in my head too. love that man so much. also the band the libertines!! because them and the strokes were my entire teenage years and i pretty much grew up with their music as my 'soundtrack'. ok i think that's enough, even though i definitely have way more to shout about. sorry i rambled!

for this ask game!

Saran, carrying a box: What would you say if-if I, hypothetically, came home with 7 kittens one day? Viridian: ... Viridian: What's in the box? Saran: What woul- Viridian: Saran, what's in the box. Saran: I think you know.

Viridian: I think we should kiss. Saran: And I think you should die but we don't always get what we want.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Viridian: All of your existences are confusing. The Squad: How so? Viridian: Your presence is annoying, but the thought of anything bad happening to any of you upsets me.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Saran: Would you slap Panthu- Viridian: Yes. Saran: I didn't even finish! Viridian: Sorry, continue. Saran: Would you slap Panthu for 10 dollars? Viridian: I would do it for free. Panthu: Rude...

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Viridian: *watching the squad's shenanigans with concern* Do you feel like this has gotten out of hand? Cyrille: I don't know. Feels normal enough for a group that's on 911's blocked callers list.

Cyrille, to Viridian: I'm leaving for the weekend, so I hid 100 dollars in your room for food. Clean your room, and you will find it.

A Woofy Wish: A Wadlow Sibling Fic

it’s been 85 years since senpai’s surprise 19th b-day! here’s a fic that loosely ties that together with an original story! this took a couple days to write (february 20th to the 22nd) and it was fun returning to the world of senpai for such a pawsome day. enjoy! ;)

one of senpai’s b-day wishes is getting a doggie of his very own, but he’ll settle for watching a dog show with harold jr. will hj help his big brother’s wish come true?

 On a beautifully bright afternoon in Alton, Robert Wadlow read the Sunday Funnies with Harold Jr. in his lap.

“Want to read the locals?” Harold asked, looking up from his part of the newspaper.

“Sure, Dad.” Robert replied.

He let Harold Jr. take the comics while Harold handed the local events section to Robert.

“Oh, look at this!” Robert exclaimed before reading out loud,

Zippy the dog will be performing at Rock Springs Park at 1 p.m. this afternoon. Bring your friends to see tricks galore, hear magical music from the Hoffman Brothers Quartet and eat delicious treats!

“A doggie!” Harold Jr. exclaimed. “I wanna see the doggie!”

“May we go, Dad?” Robert asked.

Harold looked up from his paper and smiled. “I don’t see why not.”

“Let’s go ask the others,” Robert told Harold Jr. “And the others, of course. I’m sure they’d love to tag along.”

Harold Jr. scampered off of Robert’s lap, leaving the newspaper on the floor. Robert picked it up and folded it together with the local section. Then he followed his baby brother to the brothers’ room. Eugene was there as usual, but so was Helen.

“You didn’t get the flowers yesterday?” Helen asked in a whispered disbelief.

“I forgot!” Eugene said.

Helen groaned. “You had one job, Eugene!”

“What’s going on?” Harold Jr. asked.

The siblings looked at him, then at Robert in surprise.

“Uh, we weren’t talking about anything!” Eugene said nervously. “Just a big pile of nothing.”

“Yeah, like you are.” Helen muttered, getting a glare from Eugene.

Robert leaned in so he could see them past the doorway. “There’s an event going on at the park. Would you like to join us?”

Helen and Eugene looked at each other.

“We have things to do,” Helen replied. “Things we were supposed to get done yesterday.”

“Yeah, it’s probably a boring event anyways,” Eugene added. “But I hope you guys have fun!”

They hurriedly left the room, running past Robert and Harold Jr.

“Too bad they can’t come.” Harold Jr. said sadly.

“It’s a shame,” Robert agreed. “I know Helen would’ve liked the quartet. And Eugene would on the inside, I’m sure,” He looked down at Harold Jr. “But there’s always Betty!”

“Yeah, she’ll want to come for sure!” Harold Jr. agreed excitedly before running off.

He and Robert went to the sisters’ room, but Betty wasn’t there. She wasn’t in the parents or Robert’s rooms either.

“Where could she be?” Harold Jr. wondered.

“Maybe she’s in the kitchen with Mother.” Robert suggested.

He and Harold Jr. went to the kitchen, where Addie was cleaning the counter.

“Hello, Mother.” Robert said.

Addie looked over her shoulder with a smile. “Hello, Robert.”

“Hi, Mommy!” Harold Jr. exclaimed, giving Addie a hug.

“Hello, Junior,” Addie said with a smile as she ruffled her youngest son’s hair. “What are you going to do today? Your father fixed the wheel on your train-”

“Even better! We’re gonna see a doggie perform at the park!”

“Is Betty around?” Robert inquired. “She might like to see the show.”

Addie sighed. “I’m afraid she went out a while ago. Helen and Eugene might be busy, so you’ll have to go without them.”

“That’s alright,” Robert looked down at Harold Jr. “We’ll have a brother day.” Harold Jr.’s eyes lit up. “Oh boy, a brother day! That’s a day with you and me, right?”

“Exactly!” Robert replied with a chuckle.

Addie smiled as she gave the counter one last wipe. “It’ll be a nice way to end being eighteen, won’t it?”

Before Robert could answer, the phone rang.

“Oh, good!” Addie exclaimed.

She left the sponge on the counter and went to the telephone in the hallway.

Who could be calling at this hour? Robert wondered, following Addie alongside Harold Jr.

“Hello, Miss Landerly!” Addie greeted the person on the phone. “How are you? It’s been so long! Yes, not since Robert was born…” Her voice trailed off as she pointed to the living room.

“You should get going,” Harold spoke up to Robert and Harold Jr. once they arrived. “It takes half an hour to get to the park and it’s 12:27.”

Robert frowned. “There’s no snow, but it’ll be risky walking there.”

“Oh, right,” Harold sighed as he looked down at his newspaper. “Well…”

“You can drive us, Daddy!” Harold Jr. suggested.

Harold smiled. “Wonderful idea, Junior. I might as well go since your siblings aren’t able to. It’ll be nice to get out of the house.”

“And it’ll be a father brother day.” Robert told Harold Jr. with a wink.

...

 Twenty-five minutes later, the engine of the Wadlow family car started up.

“Let’s give it a minute or two to warm up.” Harold told Robert and (a very impatient) Harold Jr.

As the brothers waited, they spotted a little wire-haired terrier next door.

“Look, Big Brother!” Harold Jr. exclaimed. “It’s a doggie!”

Robert smiled. “He’s cute, isn’t he? I’d sure like a dog for my birthday, maybe a cocker spaniel. They’re my favorite dog breed.”

Harold Jr. pointed to the neighbors’ dog as he asked, “What about him?”

“Oh, he’d be a fine dog, too. But wire-haired terriers are so full of pep!”

“What’s that mean?”

“It means they’re-”

Suddenly, the dog barked at something in a bush and ran around the yard.

“...Like that. Full of energy!”

“I think it would be fun to have a doggie like that!” Harold Jr. said with a smile.

Robert sighed. “Yes, it would be.”

The brothers turned around at a knock on the window.

“The car’s ready!” Harold said.

“Yay!” Harold Jr. exclaimed.

He ran to the car and scrambled into the back seat. Robert watched the neighbor’s dog for a few moments.

Boy, I’d sure like to have a dog, he thought wistfully. At least I can see one whenever I like, even if he’s in another yard.

...

 Rock Springs Park was packed with people as the performance dawned.

“Want me to grab some snacks?” Harold asked. “I think I spotted a popcorn stand down the path, but it was hard to tell with all these people!”

“I’d like some,” Robert said before asking Harold Jr, “What about you, Junior? Are you up for some popcorn?”

Harold Jr. grinned. “Yeah! But I wanna share with you, Big Brother.”

“I’ll get two bags. Stay right here.” Harold said before walking away.

“You won’t lose us!” Robert called, making his dad chuckle.

A few moments later, a microphone squeaked.

“Sorry about that, folks. Welcome to the show!” a man announced from a wooden platform. “First up, we’ll hear some old-fashioned melodies from the Hoffman Brothers Quartet.”

The four brothers appeared on the platform and crooned In The Good Old Summertime, making everyone laugh. They very much wished it was summer!

Harold returned as the act was ending, “I never thought I’d get out of that line!” he said, giving a popcorn bag to Robert. “I was afraid I’d miss the show.” “It’s just beginning!” Harold Jr. (who wasn't interested in the songs) said.

The host walked up to the microphone as the brothers left the stage. “And now it’s time for the moment you’ve all been waiting for… Zippy the dog!”

Applause rose from the crowd as a little dog hopped on the platform and trotted to its center. Her owner quickly followed, a hoop and ball in her hand.

“There’s the doggie!” Harold Jr. exclaimed. “But I can’t see him very well.”

Robert gave his popcorn bag to Harold to pick his baby brother up. “Now you can.”

Harold Jr. giggled and looked back at Zippy, who was much easier to see. “Alright, Zippy. Ready to give this crowd a show?” the owner asked.

Zippy gave a few barks, seeming to say, “Yes, I am!”

The audience chuckled.

“Let’s have a dash of fun first!” the owner said.

She tossed the ball to Zippy, who used her nose to make it bounce a few times.

“She’s juggling it!” Harold Jr. remarked.

Zippy caught the ball in her mouth and brought it back to her owner. “Good girl, Zippy!” she said. “I think it’s time for some exercise. What do ya say?”

Zippy barked as if to reply, “Yes, please!”

The owner tapped the hoop on the platform and lifted it in the air. “Fly, Zippy!”

Zippy ran at the hoop and jumped through it. The owner raised it higher with each jump.

“If only I had my camera,” Robert said. “I could make it seem like she’s touching the clouds!”

The owner bounced the ball just as Zippy made one final jump. The dog leapt through the hoop, catching the ball in mid-air. She landed on the platform and faced the audience as they applauded. Then she lowered her head to drop the ball in front of her and barked.

“Thank you for such a marvelous time, Zippy.” the owner said.

She held out her hand and Zippy raised her paw. The crowd laughed as they shook hands!

“And thank you for watching!” the owner told them.

Once they left the stage, the man went up to end the event with a few words. But Robert and Harold Jr. didn’t hear him. They were busy talking about the show with Harold as they left the busy park.

“That was quite impressive!” Harold remarked. “I never thought dogs could be that clever.”

“Of course they are, Daddy. They’re just like us!” Harold Jr. said.

Harold looked up at Robert. “Did you like the show?”

Robert nodded. “Very much. I wish we had a dog who could do little tricks for us.”

“Maybe you’ll get your wish, Big Brother!” Harold Jr. said with a wink.

That would be nice, but I know I won’t get a dog tomorrow, Robert thought wistfully. Oh well. I can always play with-

“Where’s Junior?” Harold asked.

Robert looked down. To his surprise, Harold Jr. wasn’t beside him!

“He must’ve gone to see the dog.” Robert suggested.

They made their way through the crowded park. Robert looked past the throngs of people, but his baby brother was nowhere to be seen.

Just then he heard a bark in the distance.

“Big Brother!” Harold Jr. exclaimed. “You’re getting a doggie!”

Robert looked down. His baby brother was walking beside Zippy.

“What do you mean?” Robert asked.

“I got you the doggie and now he’s yours!”

Zippy barked in agreement.

Before Robert could say anything, a voice called, “Hey! Zippy!”

Zippy looked behind her, seeing her owner run up.

“Excuse me, sir, but that’s my dog.” she said.

Harold smiled. “She’s very talented. My son didn’t mean to take your dog-” “But I did!” Harold Jr. exclaimed. “This is a birthday present for Big Brother.”

“That dog belongs to her, not me,” Robert said before telling the owner, “I’m hoping to get one for my birthday. Not yours, though. Even though she’s a swell dog!”

The owner happily agreed as Harold Jr. looked at the ground, sadness swimming in his eyes.

“Sorry for stealing a present, Big Brother,” Harold Jr. said as the brothers walked inside the house. “I thought you’d be happy.”

“I am happy,” Robert reassured his brother. “Seeing the dog was enough for me.”But Harold Jr. still looked gloomy.

Harold crouched down and whispered, “We’ll find another way to make it happen.”

“Really?” Harold Jr. asked, looking up at his dad.

All Harold did was give a sly wink.

...

 The next afternoon, Robert walked up to the house. Harold Jr. had been asleep when reporters arrived an hour before. When Betty took Robert along on a library trip, Harold Jr. was still napping.

I hope he’s still not upset about the dog, Robert thought. Maybe a nap is just what he needs.

“That’s weird,” Betty said once she opened the door. “No one’s home!”

Robert frowned. “Not even-”

“Surprise!” multiple voices called out.

Robert gasped at the sight of his family and friends appearing in front of him! He looked back at Betty as he said, “So that’s why you wanted to go to the library! I knew you wanting to read a long novel sounded fishy.”

Betty giggled and ran to join the rest of the family.

“Mrs. Lancaster?” Robert asked, noticing his former expression teacher near the Wadlows. “What are you doing here?”

“Miss Landerly was the one who thought of the party.” Addie said with a wink.

Mrs. Lancaster smiled. “A special boy deserves a special celebration.”

“And a special present!” Harold Jr. exclaimed.

He ran to another room and emerged with Gunter, Mr. Schmidt’s dog.

“Hello, Gunter!” Robert said, giving him a pet.

“He’s yours now,” Harold Jr. said. “The doggie you always wanted!” Robert frowned and was about to say something when Mr. Schmidt added, “Just for tonight, right, kleiner?”

Harold Jr. nodded. “Right. Just for tonight!”

Robert smiled as he crouched down and gave Gunter a pet. “Thank you, Junior. You’ve made my woofy wish come true!”

3 Mar 2018 - Church reopened after closing for 2 weeks for CNY break!! Was behind Melvyn to chop seats haha. The worship atmosphere was amazing! Missed being in church! Amy is back for service and Wini's wedding! Pastor Charleston and Pastor Lynette tagged team to preach to us Cross Words. The 7 last words of Jesus. A word of forgiveness. Matthew 18:21-22 Forgiveness does not excuse their behaviour. Forgiveness prevents their behaviour from destroying out hearts. A word of salvation. Luke 23: 39-43 the words of Jesus are eternal. Genesis 2:8-9 MSG heaven will be more incredible than we can think or imagine! 😊 Salvation is free but it is not cheap, it cost Jesus his life. Even on the Cross, Jesus was living for others. It boils down to 3 things: Passion, Heart, Love for others ❤

After svc, Mong and I dabao-ed BK and rushed down to my sec sch to watch Lloyd perform in concert. He played the clarinet so well! He is Pearl's brother. Yufang and Pearl were JC classmates. Shared with Mong some things abt my sch and he was surprised we have no parade square for morning assembly. We used to just stand outside our classrooms. Mong said it was like prisoners standing haha. Showed Mong the bookstore where we would borrow ties if we forgot to bring on Mondays. Mong said his sch would not lend but sell them for $10 each haha. The moon was huge but we couldnt capture it well with our phones. Asked Mong 2 questions how to get out of comfort zone to talk to ppl more and I am quite simple, sometimes simple-minded, do i have to read more books to get wisdom. Mong said practise talking to ppl more and have substance. Mong also said there's nothing wrong being simple, reading is to gain knowledge. The next day Mong encouraged me with this verse Acts 4:13 ! :) Love my leaders so much. Need to prepare better questions to draw from our leaders. Have to always be teacheable, changeable and humble!

4 Mar 2018 - Wini's wedding was sooooo amazing! Started with worship. Chris, Alton's childhood friend, shared the photo and said the ppl in the photo were destined for greatness! Hong Hwee, Pamela, Chris, Alton and Tosh Rock were in it. Gwen shared that Wini and her were roomies since young. They would share stories and Wini would always encourage her. She said that Wini brings joy and has a million watt smile. Wini was busy preparing for her wedding but would always make time for others. She was spending time and praying for Marcus who is going for mission trip to Tondo! Gwen shared that Wini would write down a list of things people love to do and their interests. Gwen shared that Wini would give her best and would sometimes ask herself what does it mean to me? If it means something, you will give your best! Alton and Wini are movie buffs. Pastor Charleston shared with us 4 advices of a blockbuster marriage: 1) Write your own story 2) Replay the beautiful memories 3) Delete the wrong scenes - Ephesians 4:32(NIV) 4) Remember your Director - Matthew 6:33 it was many of our friends' first time at chapel wedding. It was a day to remember for them! MJ said Kel you look good. SH shared with me that church wedding would start on time and not like outside as I was late for wedding. The food was excellent. The sushi was finished in a manner of mins. The chocolate mousse was so good! Timo had the second last one! Sinxs told me to be bold and intro Adam to Megan. Megan loved the wedding playlist and Sinxs said it was by Alton. Megan loves Westlife. Sinxs said this cg loves to sing k. Jaden was wearing his cny clothes. Xy said usually he would just wear t shirt for cny. Xy said she shouldnt have met the cg for black panther on cny so she could wear the red dress. Yf said she felt like quitting her job. She is taking care of her dad and doesnt have any housemaid. While taking photo, Mong said I am standing beside Melvyn!! :D The deco were so pretty. Char and Simone had helped out. Melvyn and Renia opened the door for Wini and her dad. :)
