lookin’ fresh 🎨🖍🌈🍊

Hey! I'm the anon that asked for a story for each version of Noah lol. I just wanted to say thank you! and each story has been amazing!! 🥵💯 Thank you again! 🫶🏻

Hii, anon! I'm glad you liked it! Since you're back, I'm gonna use this ask to post the third and final story. This is type 3 Noah, so expect a lot of fluffiness. Just to remind y'all, I'm referring to this post.

Warnings: smut, really soft though ;')

Not proofread!

You've been snuggled under the covers for a couple of hours now, watching some reruns of your favorite series, drifting in and out of sleep with the feeling of Noah's hands on your hair.

You liked times like these. The house was quiet, the room was dark and you had a relaxing candle burning on the bedside table and your boyfriend snuggling you. You couldn't ask for anything else.

As you laid back on his chest, you noticed he was incredibly distracted by your left hand, fingers grazing over your knuckles softly. You let a few seconds pass by before you ask him "what's on your mind?"

He directed his attention back to you. "Oh, nothing, just..." he trailed off, a little unsure of his next words "just thinking about how pretty your hand would look with a gold band right here", he pointed to your ring finger.

Talking about marriage wasn't a foreign concept for the both of you, but he was never so direct before, and it left you a little speechless, before you recovered yourself. "I think a gold band would look incredible in contrast with the tattoos you have on your fingers"

He sofly grabbed the side of your face, prompting you to turn around and face him. "You think so?", he had the most beautiful bashful smile across his face. As if the idea of you wanting to marry him was a surprise. There is never day that goes by that you don't think about spending forever with him.

"I know so", you said, with the most certainty in your voice. He pulled you in for a soft kiss, cradling your face in earnest. "Well then, Mrs Davis, I would like to show you how much I love you on this wonderful night", he said in a whisper, as he moved to your neck and collarbone.

"Of course, Mr. Davis. You can do as you please"

So he traveled lower, eventually getting himself covered by the comforter that was over the two of you. You could feel his breath on your thighs, as you decided to skip on the pants for the ultimate comfort.

He placed some light kisses there, squeezing the outside of your thighs with his strong hands, but every movement felt as soft as the feel of his lips on you. He eventually pushed your panties to the side, placing his mouth where you wanted him the most.

His ministrations were slow and precise, showing you that he wanted to take his time with you tonight. He alternated between using his mouth and fingers to trace lazy circles, as you let out soft pants.

Soon you could feel the tight knot wanting to unravel, as he noticed this, he pulled the covers off, stoping for a minute to take your hands in his and intertwine your fingers, placing your connected palms on your stomach.

"I can't wait to do this with you on our first night officially married", he said a little out of breath. And his words were all you needed to finally let go, squeezing his hand that was on yours, as his other one ran up and down your leg.

When he noticed you were ready to come down from your high, he kissed his way up, back to place his lips on yours, as he pushed a few strands of hair that got in your face.

"I still have to buy you a ring and think of the perfect way to propose to you. But you don't know how happy it makes me that you wanna be on this journey with me", you could hear the adoration and devotion in his words.

Taking his face in your hands, you reassured him "there was nowhere else I would rather be, but on this journey with you"

Hi! I'm salty and here to complain about price gouging!

I recently needed some self-adherent wound wrap for my mom, and even though I have it at my shop, I checked how much it would be to have it delivered to my lazy ass.

Here's a screenshot from Walgreens:

This is brand name Band-Aid showing the price is $8.79 per roll. There was also a 2-pack of the Walgreens Brand for $7.99.

As many of you know, I own a tattoo supply shop, and I sell this very thing in my shop. It comes in various colors and I have both the 1 inch and 2 inch versions.

I pay $0.29 per roll for Sensi-Wrap (brand name) and other brands getting it by the case in bulk. If I buy it in super bulk, I can get it as low as $0.19 per roll.

Big companies get a bigger break on price than me, but even using $0.29 a roll as a starting point, that means they're selling at a 2,930.30% markup or a margin of 96.7%.

FYI the standard before the pandemic was a 40% margin, which gives you enough to cover your running costs plus allowing you to make a decent amount of money yourself to live on.

Companies took advantage of the pandemic and were doing 60% plus for a while, but post pandemic most settled at 50% margin.

A 96.7% margin is completely ridiculous, but a lot of big companies have started using 80% to 90% margins since the pandemic.

Buying from small businesses is a slower process because we can't get it to you within a few hours, but the savings are incredible!

We can't just charge whatever we want because not only do we have to complete with other small businesses, but we're not as greedy and corrupt as big business. We don't have CEOs making millions of dollars a year doing nothing in their big offices.

Big businesses have convinced you that it's too hard to go to stores or wait for things, so you think $8.79 isn't a big deal for a roll of stretch wrap. And then you see the Walgreens brand for $7.99 and think it's an awesome deal!

But walk into a brick and mortar or visit their online store, and you can get things like this from us for a reasonable price.

I sell this same product for $0.50 per roll. If you buy a case, I knock it down to $0.45 per roll. Same as all the other small businesses in the area.

Small businesses can't afford to advertise like the big guys, and we can't reach you on social media because of FB, Twitter, and Insta algorithms that favor big business, but we're here!

Support small businesses! We're not gouging our customers, but we're struggling because big business is too pervasive and influential. They're driving us out of business, and once that happens, they can set the prices with no competition.

I'm not posting this promote my own business. I'm not even gonna link to my business. I'm sharing this because I want everybody to support local small businesses 🥳

I love drow but I just can't seem to create a unique tav ;-; I'm scared all our drow tav's look the same in the end😭 any advice?🥹

Honestly, since most drow are purple/blue with white hair and red eyes, it’s hard not to make them look alike, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing! I love drow sooo much that I just love every single drow tav I see 😭 I think they are all beautiful, so that just means your tav is also beautiful! <3

This turned into kind of a long post, BUT MOD RECS BELOW!!

I am probably not the best person to ask when it comes to creating unique tavs since I use the same face and hair for my fem tavs (IM TOO ATTACHED </3)

I like what I like what can I say, what can I saaay?

But for character customization here are my tips:

I’d say if you want to create a more “unique” drow, feel free to go beyond what is the usual “drow” look (purple/blue skin, red eyes, white hair, etc.)

I’m pretty sure drow can’t naturally have other hair colours (idk i could be wrong, ask @vspin cause they are like a drow lore master-I KNOW NOTHING) but who says hair dye doesn’t exist in faerun?!! Try some cool new hair colours! Have fun with different hairstyles and tattoos, different eye colours, download some new scar mods!

Another big factor is the clothing and accessories + the dye you choose. I feel like they really will allow your tav/oc to stand out.

Basically, DONT FEEL LIMITED!!! GO CRAZY GO WILD RAAAAA

PC PLAYERS - MUST HAVE MODS

Unique Tav - for body tattoos

New Character Creation Presets - a large selection of beautiful heads created by the wonderful Toarie

Npc Options Unlocker - just unlocks npc heads/hairs

Hair Mixer - allows you to mix different hairstyles, I use the oldest version cause I’m too lazy to update this mod, but the newest version allows you to combine THREE hairstyles now!

Astralities' Hair Color Supplement - A fun thing you can do is play around with the eyebrow/eyelash colours + there is more variants of white/grey hair colours if you want to stick with that colour!!

Astralities' Skintone Expansions - Fantasy | Natural- SO many new skin tone options, i feel like this can make a huge difference as well.

New eye colours (and blindness for all eyes) - SO MANY new eye colours + blindness options (as u all know I luv my ocs half blind 😭)

CovenElf's Tattoo and Makeup Collection - I use this for the messy eye makeup + Lillith’s night elf tattoos + I use the one that replaces the floral neck tattoo to intensify eyeshadow colours or I use like a brownish red at a low opacity to create the effect of tired eyes (my fav thing ever)

OTHER MODS I RECOMMEND:

Hair mods - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

More heads (even though I use only one lol) - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

Cool scar mods - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Cool body tattoo mods - 1 | 2 (unique tav also has a large selection of body tattoos)

More face tattoos - 1 | 2 | 3

Cool armour/accessory mods - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

More eye variant mods - 1 | 2 | 3

Armour dye mods - 1 | 2 | 3

My full mod list is available HERE (needs to be updated tho) + my oc mod lists - Lillith / Freyja

I hope this was helpful! <3

OC Questions Tag

I was tagged by @stargazer-sims, thank you.

I'm going to choose Dexter William Maloney and Evelyn Dawn Robertson, my OC's from my Love Drunk universe. I completed their story in TS3 and I started to do TS4 version but different and I got distracted (as I do) then I did Washed Ashore, which was an alternate universe story that I really need to finish. Anyway I did both of them because they are twin souls.

__________

NAME: Dexter William Maloney

NICKNAME: Dexy or Pretty Boy by his Lainie, Dex by everyone else.

GENDER: Male

STAR SIGN: Capricorn

HEIGHT: 5ft 11in

ORIENTATION: Heterosexual

NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Irish/White

FAVOURITE FRUIT: Pineapple

FAVOURITE SEASON: Summer

FAVOURITE FLOWER: Tulips, because they're his mum's favourite.

FAVOURITE SCENT: Lainie's perfume, Kylie Minogue: Darling

COFFEE, TEA, or HOT CHOCOLATE: Coffee, he has a machine that his best friend Drew made for him and he likes to experiment with flavour. His favourite is caramel syrup in his coffee.

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: He suffers from headaches now and again after an accident so it can vary. When it's really bad, he's nigh on an insomniac but Lainie forces him to drink chamomile tea before bed as she knows all about sleep problems.

DOGS or CATS: Dogs, he had one as a boy called Rosco and he was a Rhodesian Ridgeback. He has two dogs with Lainie, Trixie the yellow Labrador and Kizzy the Husky.

DREAM TRIP: Hawaii with Lainie, a lazy beach holiday walking by the ocean and collecting seashells. No kids, just him and his Freckles!

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: He's rarely ever cold, so I'd say one?

RANDOM FACT: Out of all of the numerous tattoos he has, only one is sentimental and that is his daughter Keira's name on his wrist in Irish Gaelic. The rest were a rebellion when his father suddenly passed away of a heart attack when Dexter was 24 years old.

__________

NAME: Evelyn Dawn Robertson Maloney

NICKNAME: She prefers Lainie and hates her name, Dexter calls her Freckles and her mother calls her Evie. Her father calls her monkey but that's a whole other story!

GENDER: Female

STAR SIGN: Leo

HEIGHT: 5ft 3in

ORIENTATION: Heterosexual

NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: Irish/White

FAVOURITE FRUIT: Watermelon

FAVOURITE SEASON: Autumn for Halloween

FAVOURITE FLOWER: Roses

FAVOURITE SCENT: Dexter, he doesn't wear any scent it's just his natural aroma and it makes her feel giddy.

COFFEE, TEA, or HOT CHOCOLATE: Tea, all kinds but her favourite is plain old green tea, or cat's piss as Dex calls it.

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: She has bouts of insomnia so knows all the tricks for trying to get sleepy, however they rarely work with her. She suffers from severe anxiety.

DOGS or CATS: Dogs, she's not a great fan of cats but she did have one when she was a teenager but her older sister left the back gate open and she never saw little Socks again. She had two Labradors growing up, her favourite dog breed. She and Dex have a Labrador named Trixie and a Husky named Kizzy, they pretended to adopt them for the kids, but really they were for them.

DREAM TRIP: Anywhere with Dexy, although she would love to go to New Orleans during Mardi Gras, visit the cemeteries and wander around the French Quarter. She's a fan of The Originals and that's where her love for New Orleans began.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: It depends, some nights it can be just the duvet, other nights it could be two extra blankets. She's inconsistent.

RANDOM FACT: She is a secret fan of The Prodigy, it's something only Dex and her best friend Roxy know about. They're not her usual taste of music but for some reason she gets so much housework done with their tunes in her ears.

I apologize if this comes through twice! Tumblr is being a little glitchy for me 😅

I have a few questions about our beloved Marvolo

Was he a prefect or anything in school? Or did he have no interest in it because he felt like he was above that kind of thing? Does he have any tattoos/piercings?

Does he wear any type of jewelry? (Rings in particular 👀) does he have a favorite color? Does he ever use muggle weapons in the den? Besides just disconnecting body parts 💀 and lastly! What are some things you love about the version of him you’ve created?

It's OK! I've seen a couple of people say tumblr is being fucky for them! 💜

Of course! Down to answer! 💚

He wasn't a prefect at school or anything in regards to being the head of something. He simply just had no interest, though as I've said he was good at the work, he was intelligent, but he had a nasty streak in him, and the teachers knew that, though a few of them tried to get him into things m, it just never worked out because of the way he was 🐍

In modern day times, he definitely would be covered in tattoos and have a couple of piercings, but in the olden day times, he doesn't💚

He's not a jewellery kinda guy in his current time (and I know what ring you are referring to, and that ring is currently being worn by Aleister 👀)

His favourite colours are black and Deep forest green.

He has used muggle weapons at the Den before when he participates in the torture side of things, he's quite drawn to knives, and ripping out teeth is another thing he really likes to do, so he uses pliers regularly. Other than that, it's torture by wand if he's feeling lazy, or his own hands.

Things I love about him

Not really a HC based answer, more just a general personal feelings answer.

And I'm going to say this without trying to sound like a dick, its not my intention 🤣 but I just adore the version I have created, I've seen others..They're not for me personally, guess I'm just bias. I just feel like I've given mine such a deep lore and HC, and I'm thankful that people can see that, and I've had many people tell me that my version just makes the most sense and seems the most realistic, and that my version seems so canon, like he's always been there 🤣 which is always nice to hear, like, I didn't make Marvolo to necessarily just be eye candy and nothing else (though I do LOVE thirsting over him with you guy's and writing NSFW stuff using him) I wanted to give this guy lore, and deep HC's, really bring him to life. Which I feel like I've done. 🐍💚

🥨Tag Game Wednesday🥨

Tranqed & tagged by the National Wildlife Association & @juliakayyy, @skylerwinchester, & @jrooc on this fine Wednesday.

name: super productive cutie patootie who's doing laundry on a school night 🤯

age: twice the hypotonus of purple divided by pi

star sign: taurus ♉ (born in the year of the dragon🐉; it's my year, y'all!)

your first language: English/Spanish

second language: Spanish/English (ok, that was snarky of me, I'm bilingual from the cradle)

favourite lip product: I used to use Maybelline Baby Lips tinted lip balm, but have recently stopped using it due to their continued use of palm oil. CoverGirl's tinted lip balm runs a close second. They've updated their policies on palm oil (though it's not perfect). I'm on the lookout for that "perfect" shade with the "perfect" ethical model.

the best food dish you can make without a recipe: Enchiladas & spanish rice. (The basic bitch, low rent version.)

If you drink tea, what kind? I like anything from Stash, especially the sweet n' spicy blend.

If you drink coffee, what roast do you usually get? I love a deep, dark roast. Something full-bodied & complex.

favourite thing to watch on youtube right now: Ugh... here's where I expose myself for the giant nerd that I am. I watch a lot of "facts" and "tutorials." So: plant videos, crochet tutorials, knitting tutorials, yoga videos, guided mantras, macrame/knot tying. Fuck, how embarasing.

favourite thing to watch on youtube in 2012: Oh, back then, it was probably music videos & dumb people narrowly avoiding death & people in other countries doing normal shit.

favourite item of clothing right now: This hoodie from LL Bean. I genuinely get upset when it gets too hot to wear it. It's on sale rn & I'm thinking of getting one in a different color. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Someone stop me!

favourite item of clothing in 2012: More than likely, it was my UC Irvine hoodie.

fandom

three movies you recommend: Green Street Hooligans, Rise of the Guardians, King of Staten Island

your favourite concert: The last one I went to was Foo Fighters, so that one?

have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion? No.

have you ever left a fandom because of the fans? No.

the best tv show you watched last year: Interview with the Vampire was good. Heartstopper was, too. Nothing has gutted me like Shameless.

do you have a fancasting you just can’t let go of? No.

a ship you’ve abandoned: Fangirls don't die, they evolve. No 'ship left behind.

on a scale of 1-10 how willing are you to share your ao3 history? Um, with who, prey tell? (pun intended)

do you have a fandom tattoo? (do you want one?) Not YET. Wifey won't let me get knuckle tats, so I have to get creartive.

what fandom do you wish was bigger? None, they are the exact size they need to be.

has a finale ever ruined a show for you? Swear to god, if we don't get one more season if OFMD. Also, we need a Shameless reunion and/or spinoff. That's all I'ma say about this topic.

have you…

swam in an ocean? Two of 'em.

ever been vegan/vegetarian? No, but I do enjoy going to vegan restaurants with my sister who is lacto-ovo.

gone skinny dipping? Yes, kinda.

gone skiing? No. I have always had shitty knees.

been to a convention? Yes, for work and fun. When I was in the industry, I used to go to health food conventions often. And I've been to NY Comicon twice. I almost went to a tattoo convention this year, but I got lazy. :-)

🥨🥨🥨

Check this shit out, I'm on time with this one! 🦚 I'm tagging @notherenewjersey, @mybrainismelted, @lingy910y, @francesrose3, @sleepyfacetoughguy with no pressure to play, as always. And anyone who wants to play!

[novemberhope]

I tried opening the Sims4, had to install updates because I haven't used it in forever and it's still not playable because I never got around to sort through the mods and update them... but... I was able to create my OCs... yeah you gotta fixate on that hyperfixation xD

Warning though, I didn't download specific clothes for them, I used what I already had (I downloaded so much custom content over the years but idk as always I'm never satisfied lol...). Faces are not mine, they're from the gallery. I suck at pretty faces. And the screenshots are pretty low quality... sigh

So we have Neri who is barefoot as always and dressed in flowy clothes in ocean colors. I want to do a mermaid form for her but I only have the mermaid stuff in the game that came with the Island Living pack and it didn't look good, so... just her human version then.

Niara cute as always. Let's pretend we don't see her fingers going through the skirt. I forgot how buggy this game is lol. She's got a flower tattoo on her ankle but you can't see it when she's standing like this.

Azura loves wearing elegant gowns so here we go...

Cordy is wearing large earings but the hair hides them. I wanted to put her in a jacket but I kind of forgot. These pants must get hot on a summer island though^^ I tried giving her tattoos but I didn't have anything good.

I couldn't do Ginny's half-red-half-blonde hair so I settled on ginger for now. And the screenshot is so low quality, you can't even see her nosering xD You can barely see her scars.

And the unnamed Lady X... not sure if she really wears such dresses but let's let her have it for now, I feel like she's a wearing-long-robes-kinda-woman.

Not satisfied yet... but it was fun to do something in the Sims4 again, I haven't played in ages. (And still can't but that's just me being too lazy to update my mods lol)

[shadowxamyweek]

Could you give us examples of what you're looking for in prompt submissions? Or share previous year's prompts? I'm not sure if you just want single words, a few words, or like a whole sentence and I don't wanna be annoying and get it wrong! Also how long are submissions open for? Ty!!! <3

Hello! Single phrases work best. So maybe that's 'Coffee Shop Au,' 'Stardust,' 'Love,' or 'First Kiss.' It doesn't have to be one word, but we'd prefer not to receive a sentence, either.

Also, I promise, you couldn't be annoying even if you tried <3 I do thank you for asking. It did not dawn on me to outline such submission guidelines. I'll update the pinned post with this information, too. If you are able to access the search function or check out tags (which is easiest in the about section- there's a glossary of terms you can use that all have links (makes it easier for mobile users)), the old prompts should be listed under shadamyweek2022 and 2021 respectively, along with all of the art posted to those prompts! However, for the sake of putting all the information in one place, the following are the prompts from years previous

ShadAmy Week 2021:

1-Chao Care/ Dream 2- Domestic Fluff/ Magic 3- First Meeting/ Cosmic 4-Teasing/Cooking 5-Seasons/Proposal 6-Soulmate Au/ Shenanigans 7-Gods and Pantheons/ Song or Art Inspo ShadAmy Week2022:

1- Future or Past/ Fankids 2-Folklore/Fairytales 3-Trapped Together/Promise 4-First Date/ Comically Drawn Out Confession 5-Baking/ Magical Girl Au 6-Wedding/Body Swap 7-Dancing/Flowers Last day to submit prompts (so far as I am aware) will be May 1st. We usually pick two themes per day so as to give people options, but as we are doing a different method of aggregating data this year, it is going to take us some time to get things organized XD Plus, we want people to be able to brainstorm and prep before the actual week starts!

If it helps at all, the following are themes we had but ended up not going with. Perhaps one of these will catch your fancy! And hey, even if something you like doesn't get into this year, there's always next year (or you can just use it as a personal prompt!) Unused from 2021

Just a turtle emblem on a black background

Phone home screen

As you can see, turtles are still in my brain rent-free.

Last song you listened to: Not counting the instrumental stuff I put on to help me write? YT music says it was Yasashi Kiss by Hitomi Shimatani, but before that, it was Adoro by the Broncos, The Guiding Key by Liz Robinett, Passing Through by Kadan Mackay, Feel it Still by Portugal. The Man, and a remixed version of I Love You Baby by Gloria Gaynor. I also listen to a lot of electro swring and stuff with a good bass beat, as well as jazz and classical.

Currently reading: nothing specific at the moment, just different fanfics, haha. My sister really wants me to start reading one of her favorite series, but I can't ever seem to dredge up the willpower to do it.

Last movie you watched: The whole way through? The Mario movie. I've seen bits and pieces of others since then whenever my mom's watching one, but not the whole thing.

I'm not counting the Rise movie since that's just a permanently open tab on my laptop now.

Craving: Frozen yogurt. Or a bacon avocado cheeseburger. Or steamed buns. Or all of them. It's been a while since I've had them, and I want some.

What are you wearing right now: Stitch pajamas when I started this, but work clothes right now since I'm at work.

How tall are you: 5'3"

Piercings: I guess my ears? Pretty sure one or both of them have closed over by now, though.

Tattoos: None. At most, I've done those fake paper ones that used to come with packs of gum, but nothing permanent. Don't really plan to, either.

Glasses? Contacts?: Both. Since middle school. Used to hate glasses, but now I love them. Only thing I don't like is the poor vision that comes with it, haha. Contacts are for work or trips to places like theme parks where I'm afraid they'll fall off on a ride or something.

Last drink: Water. If we're talking alcoholic...I don't even remember. I'm not a big drinker.

Last thing I ate: Pizza for dinner. And breakfast since I was too lazy to make anything.

I don't even know what toppings were on these but they were delicious.

Last show: TMNT, specifically, "The Real World" from the 03 series. I need my reference video.

Favorite Color: Red and purple. Green is nice too.

Current obsession: I think it's pretty obvious, lol. TMNT.

Unrelated obsession: ... I'm not sure what to put here. Fluffy things? Cute things like penguin stickers? ...Pokémon?

Any pets: 4 cats, 2 dogs, all rescues. We are very much a "You're coming home with me" family.

Crush on anyone?: No one that's real, lol, and my fictional "crushes" are said more as a joke more than anything. Am I opposed to the idea of romance and being in a relationship? Not at all, but I'm not gonna go out of my way to find one or stress out about it either. If it happens, it happens, and if not, that's cool too.

Favorite fictional characters: Now these I have a lot of. Yusuke Urameshi, Yagami Taichi, Gary Oak, Roronoa Zoro (although I love all the strawhats really), Michelangelo (though again, I love pretty much all the ninja turtles), Knuckles, Tails, Professor Layton, Donald Duck, Sora, Cloud Strife, Vincent Valentine, Zack Fair, Maes Hughes (and most of the FMAB cast), Luigi, and many more. These are just some of the first ones that come to mind, but it would take too long if I did all of them, lol.

Last place you traveled to: ...What is this traveling you speak of?

Joking aside, probably Tucson, Arizona, to visit my brother. Not counting that? Mexico, but that was ages ago.

Tagging...uh...*checks to see who actually interacts with me on here* @klonoadreams and @eldritchgray I guess?

[tinydragong]

MASSIVE CC Haul Incoming!

Because I love to torture myself with work.

So basically to sum it up- I have been working on a bunch of conversions and recolors! (all of it primarily mlp themed)

Currently Finished:

@bellassims's feathered wings for infants, converted

also Bellassims's dragon wings converted for children, infants, and toddlers (oops double checked TOU, Infant versions are TBD)

@azuhrasims's unicorn horn conversions recolored; as well as the original horns recolored (and recategorized in CAS) (@kanoya-blog's horn, Bellassim's unicorn horn, and lastly Tovisims' Unicorn Horn.) (WAS going to include @mahocreations' unicorn horns in this list but it appears she does not allow for recolors, sorry!)

I also did a recolor of Tovisims' Fox Ears & Tail set to be the colors of Canterlot High's mascot! (Let's go Canterlot Wondercolts!)

To Be Finished:

Bellassims' Dragon Wing Recolors (for all ages, and allowed for masc framed sims)

Bellassim's Feathered Wings Recolors (all ages)

Cutie Mark Tattoos! These will be their own standalone CAS item that will be BG compatible, for Masc and Femme framed sims, and will have some foal character cutie marks available for children (under birthmarks)

Maxis Merfolk fins recolored to match Seaponies and Mermares! (very early in the creation process)

POSSIBLY!!! Hair Recolors (from Maxis Meshes)

...And I think that's about it for now; stay tuned! Thought I'd note: this is all because I wanted to do a My Little Pony save and found a depressing lack of MLP inspired cc and cc being not quite the right colors for most characters; hence the recolors for wings and horns.

Another Note: Some items may/will have more color options than others, that's because I'm dumb/lazy; BUT at least they're all consistent!

Oh and of course: YOU WILL NEED THE ORIGINAL MESHES FOR THESE RECOLORS AND CONVERSIONS TO APPEAR IN GAME PROPERLY!!! I will properly link to all original items when the conversions and recolors are finished and posted!

First off, I am a white woman writing him. I headcanon that sexuality and racial issues don't really exist in Twisted Wonderland (other than with humans and fairies, I suppose...) so this isn't something I will touch on. However, I completely understand if any of you would rather not write with my Sam because of this. I have no idea if this will be a problem, but I just wanted to make it transparent and let you guys know this ahead of time~

oh boy i need to do a lot of research on voodoo stuff XDD IVE ALWAYS THOUGHT VOODOO IS SUPER NEAT, plus I've been to New Orleans and LOVED the older side of it~ all that added together with my love for Princess and the Frog and you got why i care he XDD this turned into a bit of a ramble instead of a bullet point but eh what the hell~

Anways, I need to do more research on voodoo to come up with an actual signature spell for him, but I know it has something to do with his shadow. It will be an inherited signature spell too~ Dr. Facilier (who is directly related to Sam) had to as well, and that's how he could make his deals with his "friends".

My Sam has all of the tattoos that he has in the Japanese version~ They aren't on his alt fc, but that's just because I'm lazy LOL!! I wonder if those markings mean something, because it isn't the first time I've seen tattoos like those on a character who is connected to voodoo, so I'll research that as well~

I AM NOT GOING TO SHIP SAM WITH ANY STUDENTS!! Not even Leona. He's 25 plus a staff member, so I'm not interested in that~ He may be shipped with oc adults or Crewel, but otherwise, no romantic ships~

Adding onto that, if I have a thread where he's interacting with someone he CANT be shipped with (like a student), he's actually married to my sister's OC Evan!! I'll explain Sam and Evan more in another post (like their backstory and how they became a couple) but all you need to know is that Evan is twisted off of Tiana and he owns a restaurant at Royal Sword Academy (kinda like the mostro lounge but actually WELCOMING instead of sketchy as hell XDD)

More tba..??

[dojae-huh]

isnt it seems like ty got more bulkier? Or is it my imagination..anyway I kinda dislike it...sorry...

And why did he covered his tatto on PFW? Is it not allowed? Or to go with the concept may be...did you see him yesterday? How is it?? Is it a success like dy?

He did. I like it, his figure is balanced, and it helps his torso movements to be more sharp and controlled.

Taeyong is aging, he is 28, he will have to go to the military soon, he can't have the figure of a teen forever.

I think Taeyong put on muscle to help with his spine problem. You can't correct the bones, the vertebrae, but you can fix them more securily in place with a muscle carcas. All muscles and bones are connected, therefore to fix the back you strenghten both legs and arms as well.

I have scoliosis and two years ago I started physical treatment. I'm glad I have Jaehyun (his back, heh) and now Taeyong to motivate me as I'm super lazy and ready to slack and not do exercises using any excuse, haha. It requires a lot of effort, the improvements are slow, however, it's worth it. I very seldom have backpain now. So, think about Taeyong's health and lowered probability of injuries from dancing instead of aesthetics.

The West doesn't cencor tattoos, so it should have been for the cohesiveness of the look.

Taeyong was dressed well, they went for his Dragon look, the mature version of Taeyong. He was evidently shy, out of his comfort zone, more turned inwards, however, he still had the crowd of fans chant his name, he met a lot of higher ups and famous people.

Personally, the appearence wasn't as memorable from a fan's viewpoint, but he surely turned heads with that hairdo.

The shadow knight was there as well, lmao.

How would you have styled Harry's clown overalls? Incl hair/makeup.

Imo clean shaven, clown pants, cropped slimfit blazer (think YSL) in marigold, warm cream silk crew neck under the clown overalls+mustard ascot OR mustard silk button up fully buttoned w layered natural freshwater pearl necklaces instead of a tie, Chanel nude slingback heels (but heightened to red carpet worthy height) w black toecap. Regardless of necklaces, natural freshwater pearl drop earrings in gold and three gold rings on one hand with large, clashing coloured jewels are REQUIRED.

Tho I also just wouldn't have picked the clown pants. But it can be styled properly if he just STOPPED BEING SO LAZY AND BASIC

My initial instinct would just not have been to go with the clown overalls period (though like I said, I do kinda like the fabric and pattern, and I would love a dress made from it tbh).

But if we're going to Make A Bold Fashion Statement Oooh:

-Definitely clean-shaven, or go for a more structured and styled facial hair look. That was just unkempt scruff. Also, wash and style your fucking hair - it was also unkempt and greasy and gross-looking.

-i think, if you're going to go for a fashion clown whore look, a white or cream version of his 2019 Met Gala look, maybe? With those poet sleeves (since I feel like he's gonna want to continue to show off his nipples and tattoos however much he can) but I also like your idea of the mustard silk top (although I hate it when they're buttoned up all the way tbh).

-Definitely some kind of neckwear other than the minimal pathetic offering he went with - I do like your suggestions, and they'd fit with his previous style and accessory choices (and thereby lend some consistency to his "look")

-I like your shoes idea, and tbh I'm surprised he didn't quite go that route (but that might be too gender-y and too commercially alienating in this current environment, and god forbid he do something too commercially alienating)

-Something other than the fucking plain boring white nail color he went with? Unless he was trying to remain connected to his true self through them.

-I'll also say, some kind of fucking lip look? Like come on now girl. Even just some goddamn Burt's Bees.

He just exhausts me so much and irritates me even more.

How To Be A Better Person Pt. 2 Being Honest With Yourself

This is the most important step in becoming the best version of yourself; a good person. You might ask, "If this is the most important step, why isn't it first?" That's because you needed to test yourself. You needed to see that you are willing to self-reflect and be honest with yourself with an outsider's guidance before you'd be willing to hear from an outsider that you're not being honest with yourself.

You might ask, "If I'm completely honest, it's going to be with myself, right?" Wrong. You will be the first person to convince yourself that you are doing the right thing, that you're "actually being nice", or that you're "just being brutally honest". You don't want to believe that you're not a good person, or that your actions could be portrayed as bad. You will be the first person to be dishonest with yourself.

It's no secret that feeling bad isn't a good feeling. Everyone makes justifications for certain actions and behaviors. It's perfectly normal that you do as well, as long as you try to be more aware of what you say and do to others and actively try to do things in a more pleasing manor.

For example, there is never a reason to be "brutally honest". A good person has no need for brutality. If you intention is ever to be "brutally honest", then you don't have good intentions.

Say a family memeber's own actions have contributed to them being in a long-term depression. It would be horribly unkind of you to tell that family member, "You're a lazy slob who aspires for more than you're willing to put the effort into achieving." Instead, try saying in a positive, uplifting tone: "Hey, Uncle Josh, did you know the local tattoo shop has a booth open? I talked to the owner, he doesn't know you, so you're good to talk to him. I'm sure you'd feel really good having some of your own money, instead of having my mom always telling you 'no' when you ask her for $15 dollars and having her accuse you of only asking because you want liquor." Phrase it in a way that makes people WANT to hear what you have to say, and you're on the right way to being a better version of yourself; a good person.

If you ever find yourself telling someone to "lower their standards", you're not actually doing them a favor, therefore you're not "actually being nice", and you need to be honest with yourself about that.

Lastly, you're lying to yourself with you go out of your way to make justifications for objectively bad actions. For example, if you're in a stated monogamous romantic relationship with one person, and you choose to invest in a different, unofficiated romantic relationship, you might tell yourself that the right thing to do is to leave your current partner so you won't continue to hurt them in one way or another. This is actually very, very selfish. Should you make the decision to leave your partner for someone else, the pretense of doing it so that you won't "continue to lead them on" or so that way "they can find someone who will truly love them", that pretense is lost when your (ex) partner has to completely change their lifestyle, schedule, finances, all while doing so alone and grieving. In this circumstance, you've done nothing but lie to yourself so you could be more comfortable making your selfish decision. The right thing to do is simply not build any sort of relationship that could lead to romance while already in a romantic relationship. If you honest with yourself, and you feel as though it's not something control, please know you don't need friendships with people who fall into any of your romantic preferences.

If you try being honest with yourself about your intentions and feelings every time you enter a new situation or are presented with a new situation, then you will be on your way to being a better version of yourself; a good person.

Well, since you're asking...

Space Barbie is back! (except not in space lol)

To share how my characters turned out in that other game I need to give some context about why they look like that.

So, the game I tried is Soul Calibur VI, and since it's a fighting game I'm not sure how good they are with customization in general. Some aspects were more limited here than in SWTOR (like facial customization, amount of hairstyles and clothes), while other aspects were better (range of colors, more detailed body customization, goddamn heights aren't tied to body types). It was lots of fun to play with the options given in SC (especially outfits), so here's what I managed to do with my SWTOR characters in this game.

Buckle up, we're in for a long ride.

The first character I tried to make in SC was Auletta (not surprising, she's often the first when I try different character makers). Initially I wanted to recreate her look as close to SWTOR as possible, but quickly realized that it would be hard and aimed to just make her look good and have a similar vibe to the original. I think it turned out pretty good.

Also, while she is the first to be recreated here, this look is not. At first I attempted to create a version of Auletta that comes up much later in my headcanons for the characters (and doesn't even exist in SWTOR yet).

(SWTOR outfit is not final, I just needed to compare with the dark side corruption showing)

At some point she becomes the Empress of the Sith Empire, which prompts an outfit change, and after that the effects of the dark side start showing through in her appearance (though I'm still not sure why now and not earlier). This is where I had a bit of trouble - the outfit I came up with isn't perfect (though still nice looking) because there are some parts that can't be removed or recolored, and there are no alternatives that look as good. So I would remove the fire ornaments on the chestpiece and flowers on the lower part, but add some other patterns to keep the outfit more interesting than pure black clothes.

The most difficult part of making Shailla in SC was facial tattoos (still not sure if they look good enough, but it's probably not going to get better). Finding clothes for her was relatively easy, especially the first outfit. It's supposed to resemble one of Shailla's Jedi robes, and I kinda like the SC version more (just a bit). The second outfit isn't really supposed to resemble anything, I just put it together bc I liked the way it looks, but if we are to compare it to anything, it would be her clothes during the Eternal Throne drama. Maybe.

When making Raen, there were so many outfits to choose from that I decided to not do that and ended up with clothing that fits her vibe (even if it looks pretty different).

Kind of followed the same path with Airistan - instead of copying one of her armors, I put together an outfit that resembles her overall. Plus I think that dark blue colors fit her well, yet in SWTOR I can't work with it because the dye system is lacking.

So far Jett had the most revisions of her armor - I tried 2 or 3 outfits before settling down with this one. Armor in particular is difficult to work with bc it's easy to make it look weird or bad, that's why I had to change hers a couple of times.

When it comes to chiss characters, their eyes in SC look different from SWTOR simply bc there is no option to remove iris and pupil, you can only color it the same as the sclera, in this case both red.

Xaele's outfit is, once again, is less resembling of any particular clothing from SWTOR and more fitting the overall vibe of the character.

Zabraks by far are the most difficult to replicate in this game due to their horns and tattoos - you have to pick the horns as equipment and move and color them manually, and there aren't enough tattoo options to resemble the originals.

I was definitely lazy to replicate Vintu's tattoos properly, so maybe I'll change them later, but for now this is how he turned out. The armor is alright though, I think it resembles him just fine.

When it came to Imely, I wanted to emphasize the difference in her appearance compared to other chiss. To do that, I intentionally made her eyes darker and skin less saturated (saturation goes from 0 to 9, hers is 1, while other chiss characters have saturation from 6 to 9).

This is where the lack of hairstyles also became a problem - Imely is supposed to have curly hair, but nothing in SC fit that (and I barely managed to do Shailla's hair, bc she's also supposed to have curly hair, but at least she usually ties or braids it, while Imely often lets it loose). In the end I just gave her a braid.

The first outfit is kind of a mesh of her clothing as a Sith (and it just looks nice by itself, still one of my favorites), and the second one is supposed to resemble her Outlander outfit (I like that I could make the scarf purple, she would definitely keep something of this color).

Nevanor was a bit of pain to replicate. Pretty sure choosing his hairstyle alone gave me a headache (and the first one is still meh, but that's how hard it is to find something fitting for him). The second outfit had to be revisited twice before I felt like it's good enough. His fighting style was a nightmare to figure out (but that's a topic for another post). But it's worth it because now he's among my favorite recreations.

The first outfit is modeled after one of Nevanor's Jedi clothing, and the second one - after his outfit as the Alliance Commander.

And that's not even all of the characters, I just can't add more than 30 images in one post, so there will be another.

Bonus (as a treat for reading this far):

I also made Valkorion!

Yeah, of all SWTOR characters I could go for, I went for him.

But that's mostly because I learned that you can put characters from creation in a fight against each other, and I wanted to see Valky lose fights again and again.
