The "requests are paused until I'm done with the current ones" thing was wishful thinking (a bit like the closing statements in my last yt video 🤓) and I am once again thoroughly overwhelmed with everything.
Requests are firmly closed until further notice. I said yes to the FtM hairs for anon and the Tiggerypum tunics & iamliz13 alpha dresses for children & toddlers for the other anon (I did get the links you sent to the meshes), so I still intend to complete both.
A novel's worth of life updates under the cut (content warning for struggle with bipolar type 2, including questionable choices which should not be taken as advice).
Well over a year ago I shared that my mother was going through a really bad bipolar type 2 depression episode (looking back, mention of it in that post was very euphemistic, I must have been hopeful). The reason why I didn't give any updates after a while is that there is no satisfactory narrative that I could easily spin into words. She's not all better, she hasn't died or lost her mind for good, things have just been evolving at a snail's pace through a whole spectrum of very bleak colors. She's not fully hospitalized anymore, she lives at home with my brother and me, with day hospitalisation activities several times a week. The myriad psychiatrists that she's seen have not been able to find the "right" treatment for her, but hey, after lithium sent her into such a state of confusion that we thought she might stay mentally disabled for the rest of her life, at least now we know that's not an option. A couple days ago her psychiatrist prescribed a new antipsychotic to replace the one she'd been taking. She started the transition, and today confusion started showing its terrifying face again so she's not taking that pill tonight, or to be honest ever again unless her psychiatrist somehow manages to convince us otherwise (she'll report her symptoms and get counsel at the hospital tomorrow). Her cognition is already impaired, her short-term memory and ability to focus especially. She can't live alone, I keep and manage her pillboxes, make sure she's eating right and the stove is off, that sort of stuff. But at least, until the introduction of this new drug, she'd made considerable gains compared to when she was at her worst last winter. No way we're going back to that again.
On a more positive note, about a month and a half ago I started work at a grocery delivery place just up the street (yes that's what I'm doing with my degree in Mandarin and my master's in English-French translation studies). It's intense physically, kinda stressful, and not very well paid, but I think I like it and the people are very nice. What scares me is that my trial period ends in about 2 weeks and I'm not entirely sure that they'll want to keep me, considering I've made several mistakes and they don't seem to think that I work quite fast enough (I know I said the people were very nice, they are, that's just the job). They keep saying the work load is gonna get crazier starting in September. The way they're saying it may suggest that they do envision me as still working there in September, but maybe they're trying to push me to work faster now and if I can't prove that I'm able to they won't keep me? Well I'm already doing my best, even if sometimes I end up finding myself crying over clients' items because my brain isn't able to focus anymore and I'm messing up and wasting time.
Emotional control has been harder because I unilaterally made the decision to taper off my antidepressant. Now before you facepalm, let me flood you with all of my best questionable arguments: • I do have an appointment with my psychiatrist, the earliest date I could get was October 1st (and I may have to postpone, depending on my work hours that day which I don't know yet). • I was already on the lowest dose that you can be on. • I tapered off very slowly. • I recently talked about it with the nurse that I saw for the mandatory medical visit I had to go to because I got the new job (idk if you have that outside of France). Naturally she was alarmed that I'd been weaning myself off on my own and she convinced me to see my GP asap and not change my medication without at least his input (which yes, I know). • the reasons I did it despite knowing that it's inadvisable are: 1) obviously I haven't been feeling depressed for a while or I wouldn't have done it, 2) the amount of endorphin-producing physical exercise I get from the new job felt like it could maybe do the trick so it was worth a try, 3) seeing how much my mom's medication has messed up her cognition over the years is scary. She's been taking way higher doses of antidepressants than me, along with other stuff, over a way longer period of time, but still. I don't want to be on it if it's not strictly necessary, so I wanted to try off. • I'm still taking my antipsychotic religiously and have no intention to stop that (I can't anyway or I won't be able to sleep and I'll definitely lose the job).
My plan with the antidepressant was to space out the doses and eventually get off it entirely for several weeks before reassessing, but after seeing that nurse, I started upping again to one dose every other day. I will admit, I was having suicidal thoughts after several days off, and now it's gone. Maybe I should find having suicidal thoughts more alarming than I do, the nurse's phrasing when she asked if I did - something that could translate to "no suicidals thoughts, riiight?" - was a good reminder that suicidal thoughts are really bad to have oh no. Of course I said no, why would I want her to interfere (leave me to make decisions for my own self thank you). Anyway, the appointment with my GP is in two days. He's gonna be useless on psych stuff but I guess getting his unqualified, predictable input is the responsible thing to do in polite society. More relevantly, the nurse also told me to go see him because my blood pressure is a bit low, or at least it was at 9/6 when she saw me, so I need to have it retaken and see what's up with that if anything.
And so yes, I have a ton of CC plans as always, I am positively drowning. Beside the two requests I mentioned above the cut, one of which I need to do a lot of learning for, I picked up work on Celestialspritz's beta Vincent skins and started converting afbodykimono for the usual roaster of breasted body shapes, like I did with afbodyqipao here and would like to do with more Happy Holiday Stuff outfits in the future. Although I told myself that I would stick to the body shapes that I've already done stuff for, I now also want to make a set of clothes for Lady Apple. I also have an idea about a set of scrawny body shapes for TU-EU inspired by Mrs Crumplebottom's body shape. I know Melodie9's slim family exists but to be honest those shapes creep me out and I want to see if I can do something less uncanny (it may end up looking too similar to the Androgyny body shapes, or to Faerie Gal, or it may not pan out at all, so don't hold your breath). I also want to do a ton of hairs in FakeBlood's palette + Naberius (tbh I'm still not 100% sure if I like Timebomb or Naberius more for my aliens, I need to figure that out once and for all). And of course I want to do more FtM & MtF hair conversions once I know how to do it well enough. There's a billion smaller projects I'd like to insert in between those, outfit conversions for one or a couple body shapes, repurposing of older meshes, a set of nude "outfits" for all the body shapes I do, etc.

Marked for Carnage - Chapter 1 (Juice Ortiz x OC Fic)
Marked for Carnage Masterlist
A/N: This is chapter 1 of my Juice Ortiz x OC multi chapter fanfic. I am hoping to mesh this story line with all 7 seasons of SOA. This is an 18+ fic so if you are under 18 please do not interact or read. The themes may not hit 18+ for a few chapters but I intend them to as the story progresses. I apologize that there isn't much Juice x OC in this chapter, I was really wanting to set a foundation for my OC and how she is tied into this world. My asks are open if anyone has any questions about my OC. Also I aplogise if there are any errors, I have a toddler and a baby so I'm doing this on the fly. I hope you enjoy :)
Word Count: 2390 words
If there was one thing that Veronica Winston wished for it was that she had taken the job offer from Mercy General rather than St Thomas. Sacramento was close enough to Charming without being too close, but - being the push over that she was - she had let her father talk her into moving home. "Nothing's more important than family," he had stated, using her brother's recent release from prison to really drive the point home. Now here she was, stalking the hallways of St Thomas Hospital, the scent of antiseptic flooding her nose, as she followed the directions given to her by the admin staff to the nearest elevator. She had just about ran from the desk when the lady behind it asked if she was related to "those Winston's."
She pulled her long, dark hair out from the ponytail she'd put it in, hoping it would provide some kind of barrier between her and anyone who may recognize her. It had been nearly 10 years since she had last stepped foot in Charming. Her stomach had been lead weight since she had driven past the welcome sign at the edge of town. She jabbed the elevator button as she stopped in front of the closed doors, tapping her foot impatiently. She quickly scanned the area behind her, regretting the action as soon as her eyes met his. Jax Teller. Quickly she looked away and hoped that he hadn’t seen her.
"Ronnie?" She sighed when he called her name. Shoving her phone into the pocket of her scrubs she turned and smiled at him. "Hey Jax," she sent a silent prayer to the elevator gods that the stupid thing would hurry up and arrive. "Jesus, how long has it been?" he asked, pulling her into a quick one armed hug. "Nearly 10 years," she shrugged, kicking the toe of her shoe on the linoleum. "Yeah I guess so… your Pops didn’t say anything about you being back in town?" he asked, adjusting his cut. Her eyes found the Vice President patch sewn there. She raised her eyebrows. "I ah… asked him not to tell anyone. Ope too." Jax cocked an eyebrow and angled his head in question. "Alright…" he murmured. "I'll keep this under wraps then." Ronnie smiled appreciatively.
"You visiting someone?" she asked. His face dropped and suddenly she regretted asking him. "My kid is up in the NICU. He had surgery last night." Ronnie sighed and shook her head. "Shit Jax, I hope everything's ok." He shrugged and glanced down the hallway. "He's looking ok. Strong little guy. Shit with Wendy ya know…" he shrugged. "Damn, she still not got her shit together?" she asked. Jax shook his head. "Well he is a Teller. I'm sure he will pull through." Jax grinned proudly and nodded. "Well, you should come by Gemma's place sometime. She's still in the same house. I'm sure she would love to see you," Jax began to make his way down the hallway, throwing a wave behind him as he left. "Yeah, sure," Ronnie mumbled half heartedly. The elevator doors finally opened and Ronnie got in, pressing the button for the bottom floor. She found the doors she was looking for, the sign above indicating that she had reached the morgue. Of course, it would be strange to admit that she felt at home in a morgue. Which is why she never said it out loud. But it was true. Pulling her hair back into it's ponytail she walked through the doors, ready for a fresh start.
10 hours later Ronnie stood in the parking lot, stretching her back as the balmy early evening air settled around her. It appeared that being an assistant medical examiner in Charming wasn't going to be as fast paced as her previous location. She had spent part of her morning reviewing the one case they currently had open - a hit and run that had happened in the Charming jurisdiction although only by literal centimetres - and then the rest of her time she archived historical paperwork and counted down the minutes until her scheduled breaks. Ronnie groaned at the pain in her back, cursing herself for sitting with shitty posture for her whole shift, when suddenly someone cleared their throat. She turned and spotted the row of Harley's parked against the curb.
A guy around her age, with golden brown skin and a mohawk with two tattoos inked either side of it, sat on the bike at the very end. He was sporting one of the most gorgeous smiles she had ever seen and he was directing it at her. Ronnie's stomach buzzed, but she told it to pipe down when she spotted the cut she was wearing - one with a patch identical to her brother and fathers. She looked around in case he was looking at someone else, but they were the only two souls in the lot. "Nice ink," he said, jutting his chin in her direction. She looked down at her right arm, as if noticing the various designs tattooed there for the first time. Feeling her face warming, she met his stare. "Thanks, you too," she murmured, before walking to her car and hastily getting behind the wheel. Putting the key in the ignition she started it up, cursing and looking back at the man on the bike in her mirror as the engine coughed and sputtered before starting up. Pulling out of the lot, Ronnie began her journey home.
Juice smirked as he watched the black Toyota SUV pull out of the hospital parking lot. He had never seen the woman who had driven it away before, but the fullness of her hips and the soft curving of her waist had him wanting to see more of her. Juice would admit that it didn't take much to rev his engine but the way she had raised her eyebrow at him in indifference, how her tattoos covered the soft looking skin of her arm and the groan she let out as she stretched her back… almost had him adjusting himself in his pants. "Hey idiot," Tig smacked him up the back of the head. "What's got you so goddam happy?" Juice only grinned and shook his head. "Just thinkin' about Sack and that deer." Tig laughed and pointed straight at him. "Bet you're glad you're not the bottom of the food chain no more, huh?" Juice nodded as he watched the rest of his brothers exit the hospital, strapping his helmet on and starting up his dyna.
Ronnie sat on the small sofa in her loungeroom, an open beer on the coffee table and a microwaved dinner on her lap. She aimlessly flicked through channels, stopping briefly on the local news channel when she saw the headlines "San Leandro Warehouse Fire, Multiple Deaths." "Jesus Christ," she mumbled, taking a sip of beer. Suddenly, her phone ringing pulled her attention from the tv. Flicking it open, she saw her father's landline number and answered. "Hey Pop," she smiled. "Hey sweetheart," her father's rough timber came through the receiver. "How was your first day?" Ronnie smiled. She had missed this. Her father only really called once every couple of months when she had been gone from Charming, and she was certainly guilty of avoiding calling him. But since being back he seemed to really be interested in what was happening in her life.
"It was good dad, same shit different state really." Piney laughed. "Well that's good to hear, Ron, good to hear." She rolled her eyes at the nickname. "Listen, I was going to head over to Opie and Donna's place for dinner. Why don’t you come too? See the kids and say hello," Piney trailed off, leaving the buzz of the phone line ringing in Ronnie's ears. "I don’t know dad, I mean… I've already had dinner and," she paused, blowing out a sigh. "I don’t think Ope would want me there." Her father grunted on the other end, no doubt rolling his eyes identically to the way she had moments beforehand. "He's your brother. Of course he wants you there," he said. Ronnie closed her eyes. "Alright, I'll come see them. Do you need a ride?"
Ronnie pulled up out the front of her brothers house, parking her car next to Piney's trike. She made her way up the path to the front door, wringing her hands together in anxiety. She tersely rapped her knuckles against the door, her stomach in knots. Donna pulled the door open, her eyes widening at the site of her sister-in-law. "Veronica!" she exclaimed, glancing back into the house. "I didn’t know you were coming," Donna said, awkwardly smiling. "Oh, shit sorry, I thought dad might have said something. He kind of… invited me I guess," Ronnie said. Trust Piney to not say shit. "It's fine," Donna stepped aside, motioning for Ronnie to enter. "Come in. I've just served dinner, are you hungry?" Ronnie shook her head as she entered the house. "Nah I already ate. Thanks though." She continued to blindly follow the hallway, hoping she was going the right way.
The hall opened up into the dining room and Veronica stopped short as she saw Piney, Opie and her niece and nephew, Ellie and Kenny, sitting at the table with plates in front of them. "Hey," Ronnie cleared her throat. "Hey Ope. Hi Ellie, Kenny." She waved at the kids. They awkwardly waved back, glancing at their dad. Opie dropped his fork, making Ronnie and the kids jump as it clattered against his plate. "Ope?!" Donna started from behind Ronnie. "Not hungry," he grunted out before he made his way out the back door into the backyard, slamming the door behind him. The silence in the room was deafening as Ronnie internally fought with what she should do next. She smiled at the kids again before she followed her brother through the door. Opie sat on a porch swing that was in the back corner of the backyard, a lit cigarette between his lips.
Ronnie made her way over to him, her black boots scuffing along the short patched of turf and dirt. "Those things will kill ya, you know," she motioned to his cigarette. Opie ignored her, taking a long drag. "Look, Ope…" she began, pushing her hands into her pockets. "I know you’re not my biggest fan right n-" "You really think you can just come back like you didn’t just drop off the face of the earth for 10 years?" he cut her off. Ronnie sighed, running her hand over her hair, gathering it over one shoulder. "Dropping off the face of the earth is slightly dramatic, don’t ya think?" Opie met her eyes, his mouth a hard line. "Dad was already sick before you left and you just disappearing only made him worse. You missed my wedding!" he took a another draw of his cigarette. "My kids hardly even know their Aunt…" he laughed without humour and shook his head. "And you just walk in and say hi? You really think that would be it?"
Ronnie sighed and sat next to her brother on the porch swing. "I'm… I'm sorry Ope. I couldn't stay," she cracked her knuckles, habit her mother always scolded her for when she was little. "I honestly didn’t realise I'd hurt you this bad." Opie shook his head, knocking his knee against Ronnie's. "You're my baby sister," he mumbled. "We already had so much time apart after mom and dad divorced. It felt like I had gotten you back for a little while and then you just took off." Ronnie's heart sank. She never gave her brother much credit for just how much he loved his family - although he didn’t always show it. "Shit Ope. You know I didn't do it to hurt you. I had to get away. Away from," she swallowed thickly, her skin crawling. "Him." Opie scoffed. "You know we wouldn’t have let him put his hands on you. Me, Pops. Shit even Jax would put a bullet in his head before he let you get hurt."
Ronnie shook her head. "But he did put his hands on me Ope. Distance," she sighed. "Distance felt like the best option. And this place. This town," she motioned with her hand. "Everywhere I went it felt like him. Felt like he had tainted it somehow. Even being back now," she shivered, running her hands up and down her arms. "I'm sick to my stomach Ope. He could pop up anywhere." Opie turned to his sister, his stare cutting her off. "You see one glimpse of him, you tell me. I won't let that shit stain near you." Ronnie smiled flatly, patting Opie's back and standing. "Yeah yeah, I'll put you on speed dial," she smiled. Opie huffed a laugh and stood. Ronnie smiled and pulled him into a brief hug. "Still not okay with you going ghost," he said. She nodded, pulling away. "I know. But I'm here now. And I'm gonna make up for these last 10 years."
Ronnie walked arm in arm with her father to where their vehicles were parked. "Well after your brothers tantrum, that all seemed to go okay," Piney said, leaning over to kiss his daughter on the head. "Yeah Pops, you know Ope. He's soft at heart. Won’t be long and I'll be back in his good books," she smiled, watching Piney climb aboard his trike. "You working tomorrow sweetheart?" he asked, buckling his helmet on. She nodded, unlocking her SUV. "Yeah I'm always working." Piney smiled, his old heart warming knowing there was no longer distance between him and his two kids. "Alright, I'll follow you home. Make sure you get there safe." Ronnie began to protest and then remembered her conversation with her brother. "That would be great, thanks Pop." She slid into the drivers seat of her car and tried to start the engine. The car coughed and chugged once before it conked out completely. "Piece of shit," she slammed her hands against the wheel. Piney lifted his arms in a questioning manner. She jumped out. "Car won’t start." Piney motioned back to Opie's house. "Get your brother to drive you home, I'll get someone from TM to come tow your car to the garage tomorrow." Ronnie sighed and bid her father farewell before she made her way back up the path towards Opie's house.

sims tag!
tagged by @simmer-until-tender & @themeasureofasim (so long ago, whoops) thank you!
Favorite sims death?
I've only ever seen drowning, fire, and old age in my game (so boring, I know) but I think I have to go with Murphy Bed for sheer "unlikely but plausible" horror.
Alpha CC or Maxis Match?
Maxis Match with a little soupçon of semi-realism, particularly with hair. I just love that classic Pooklet shine.
Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?
No way -- the Townie Body Diversity Project is one of my favorite mods for a reason! We need more fat sims! If I could have one no-questions-asked Sims 2 wish granted, it would be more diverse bodytypes for all existing meshes (dream on, I know).
Do you use move objects?
Who doesn't? I basically only have it off to place diagonal doors and windows.
Favorite mod?
This is such a hard question because there are /hundreds/ of tiny QOL mods that add up into such incredible gameplay. But I'm going to go with either the Community Time Project or Skilling on Community Lots! The latter especially makes so many community lots... actually worth it. I don't think I could play without it. Why bother otherwise?
First expansion/game/stuff pack you got?
I think I actually got Nightlife before University and I loved it. Everyone was a vampire and had the most expensive car. Life was simple and good.
Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing?
Live as in "we're going live!" The other way feels so bizarre in my mouth.
Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?
I will always have a soft spot for an alien sim named Laika from many, many neighborhoods ago. She was my icon for a long time!
Have you made a simself?
Only when I was younger! I like The Sims (and most media, tbh) to be as indulgent and escapist from my own life as possible. Like, what am I doing there?? I have the same reaction to self-insert fanfiction too. What is my purpose in this narrative? No thanks.
What sims traits do you give yourself?
For TS2: Lazy, Playful, Pleasure Aspiration.
For TS3: Vegetarian, Absent-Minded, Good Sense of Humor, Neurotic, Over-Emotional 🥲
Which is your favorite EA hair color?
I assume this is a question tailored to one of the other games, lol. As a kid I always loved shortslick in red because it was a slightly different shade than the other red hairstyles in the game, and it felt like the closest I could get to a new hair color without CC (which I didn't know how to download).
Favorite EA hair?
I really love the paperboycap hairstyle that came with Apartment Life! I wish there were pookleted defaults of it that just retextured the hair and kept the hat. Sometimes I use it anyway even though it doesn't match the rest of the hair in my game. It's cute!
Favorite life stage?
I actually really, really love the Child life state! There is so much that children can do (painting! gardening! cooking!) and it feels like after a toddler life state that doesn't have much variety between sims, you finally get to get a feel for what kind of person they're going to be. Plus, so many cute social interactions between other children and their parents. I'm always sad to see them grow into teens :(
Are you a builder or are you in it for the game play?
Both! I'm honestly not a very good builder and often get impatient because I just want to play and take pictures. But then if the world doesn't feel "real" or visually appealing enough, I get frustrated because the gameplay isn't as satisfying. I constantly have to force myself to stop and focus on building so I don't overshoot on the playing in a way that feels dissatisfying. Fun hobby.
Are you a CC creator?
No, but I have a lot of practice downloading things :)
Do you have any simblr friends/a sims squad?
I've never been in the Sims community consistently enough for that, but there are plenty of names that give me the happy little "ah, you! 🥰" thought bubble over my head for when I see them on my dashboard!
What’s your favorite game (1,2,3,4)?
Must you even ask?
Do you have any sims merch?
I have a pair of plumbob earrings! They're understated enough that I feel like I can get away with wearing them to work. Someone actually correctly ID'd them once, too!
Do you have a youtube for sims?
No, editing pictures and posting here is enough of a timesink on its own. But I love watching speedbuilds!
How has your “sims style” changed throughout your years of playing?
Wow, so much. If this is about visuals, I didn't really have a cohesive style until I stumbled upon GOS in 2007 or so. The grungy look and my emo phase were like a wine & cheese pairing for the ages. When I got back into the Sims again in college in 2012, I'd shifted to a brighter style bordering on cartoonish (hello snapdragoned psd!). I think now I'm a sitting somewhere a little more muted, but hopefully still fun to look at ���
If this question is geared more towards play style, I'm playing in rounds for the first time in... ever. I used to just wander into households and play until I got bored, or focus only on one family. What a difference it makes! I don't think I've ever been so hooked/consistently eager to play.
What’s your origin ID?
You people still use Origin?
Who’s your favorite cc creator?
Don't make me pick! There are a mind-boggling number of active creators out there still making beautiful, functional content. I adore and appreciate all of them! The game still feels so new and fresh. It was such a treat to come back to after a long hiatus.
How long have you had a simblr?
...eleven years 🥲 My GOD, do you ever feel old?!
How do you edit your pictures?
I should have read ahead before I mentioned the PSD, lol. I use Greenshot to take screenshots, then manually resize them in an old, super legal copy of Photoshop. Then I run a batch Photoshop action (sharpening, brightening, making colors more vivid) on them. Done and dusted.
What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next?
I guess I'll use this section for my dream mod. I would love more crafting benches/craftable items and more hobby options for the Freetime hobbies! Or a new Supernatural life state.

To keep it short. All wishes are under the cut.
You have a wish? Read here how to get it added.

Thank you for doing this! I would love to see solar glass - the glass roofs from basegame, modded to act like the solar roof tiles from Eco Lifestyle.

I would love to see a mesh edit of the fireplace from EL, with the weird rocks replaced by the wood from the SE fireplaces! Bonus points if there's also a version without the weird box and shelf (so just the main fireplace body and chimney).

Hi there! First off, I love your blog and I think the Super Secret Simblr Wishlist is a really sweet idea! I’ve got a build mode submission for the wishlist that I’ve been looking for for a long time; I’d really love a wig stand with some hairstyles that can go on top if possible. I’ve seen it done by alpha creators but the only MM one I found, the download link no longer works and it broke my heart
fleurlibelle
Fantastic idea. Let's give it a shot! I would love to see if a creator could and would be able to create a maxis-match classic Ballet Workout Set. Including two simple Tutu's one classic short the other one long. A classic leotard, wrap top, wrap skirt, ankle leg warmers as well as a pair of thigh high ones. All in classic ballet colors black, white and pink. ;) Nothing fancy! If the creator wants some examples what I mean I could provide pics. But that would be so dope! ❤️

#SSSWish I'm half Filipino, but I hardly see any Filipino content in the Sims Community. I would love to own a Maxis Match Barong or Maria Clara dress for formal events in the game. I think it would be a great way to add more representation in the game, especially when I know there are a handful of PilAms and Pinoy players. Thanks for hearing me out, and thanks for all the work you do to make this games playable. I really enjoy all your hard work!

i love this idea! i’ve been wishing for a long, straight hair for male sims - like a conversion of CfHair LongStraight. thanks for reading n__n

#SSSWishlist hello! I would love if cc creators can consider making more patterns for Kimono/Yukata (traditional Japanese clothing). I find the in-game versions kinda bland, and there are not many floral Kimonos even though its commonly seen in Japanese festivals. Would appreciate if there's Japanese hairstyle cc with big flowerly accessory to pair with the Kimono too! Same for the male Yukatas, just not floral print maybe. If it's not too much, children's version is also appreciated!
Anonymous
#SSSWishlist Thank you so much for doing this! I've a small request for a mod that allows every destination (specifically the newer lots like Onsens and/or Rental lots) to be an option for dating location under "Ask XX on a Date"
Anonymous
For the SSS Wishlist, I would Love to see a set of three to four hairstyles, all with the same texture. Something like long hair down, a ponytail, and an updo, all with the same wavy or curly or straight texture, all with the same bangs or whatever. Just something that could be used to look like my sims change hairstyle now and them.

I would love to see some moth cc? Like wings and antennae? any colors are fine but I just think it'd be really cool!

#SSSWish: deco fidget toys like cubes and tangles (at4s has a great fidget spinner but there are so many more types out there)

Sorry I wasn’t to sure where to put the hashtag #SSSWish or where to submit the wish.
My wish is to have more swatches for the snowboard and skis. If there could be more LED designs, interesting designs and the swatches for kids for T-E boards. It would be great.
The other wish would be to have more Kimono designs in Maxis Match and/or recolors with more patterns. There are so many patterns that I have seen while looking at real life kimonos and there are so many patterns, styles and colors that are missing in the game.

#SSSWish Hi! And thank you for this great and sweet idea! I wish for a special piece of CC: a long wavy ginger hair based on LoL's Miss Fortune character. I have a pic to send to show exactly what i wish for... It's my dream hair for my sims! Thank you again for this idea. That's super kind ^^

This seems like a fun idea! What I have been wanting for ages (like since TS2 era ages) is a hair style that completely covers one eye, like Violet at the start of The Incredibles. Most of the peekaboo bangs hairs I've seen are a little *too* stylish and I mostly just want one where someone is clearly trying to cover up half their face with it.

That sound like a great idea! It’d be great if someone was interested in a more fantasy/medieval recolor of joliebean’s after dark top. I really like it by most of the colors are very bright. #SSSWish

Hi! I never send asks so I hope this is the right way to do #SSSwishlist . I would be over the moon if someone could create the Zimmermann 'Carnaby Embroidered Bird Dress' in black. I've had my eye on it for such a long time but I'm too poor to commission it lol. Hope this is ok! :)

Hello, not sure if I'm sending this the proper way, but I have a request for the SSSWish? So, there's still no ways of writing books off-grid that I know of, so I think a journal or typewriter or, I don't know, even a magical computer working on batteries would be great, I would just really love to write and publish books off-grid... Also, I think this is a very sweet idea, and thank you for this chance to make requests!

#SSSWish - I would love to see a someone put together clothing that accurately reflects the Starfleet uniforms seen on the television shows, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (collar version), "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (colored shoulders) or the later movie uniforms (grey shoulders w/ colored undershirt). I've seen people asking for these uniforms for quite some time now, and I think, if done well, they could be a popular download. A separate chest combadge accessory would be nice too.

Hey there, that #SSSWish thing is a super cool idea! I do have a wish too - I would love to see the EL utility jumpsuit converted for male framed sims. It can be unlocked by creating an override and unchecking the frame restrictions in S4S, but then the body changes to a female frame. So if anybody out there could do that properly, I'd be extremely grateful :3

I’d like someone to make a few generic maxis match tattoos, any styles but that looks more comicish than the ones I see around, that even claim to be MM.

#SSSWish A dress similar to this would be so beautiful and versatile :) I also think it would go really well with the new snowy escape aesthetic.

US-Style Military Uniforms
HI. Hoping for the US military dress uniforms incl. hats, maybe based around the StrangerVille dress uniforms. Since it’s MM anyway, I’m not looking for anything elaborate or “patriotic” just something to evoke the Navy and Marines, esp., primarily for storytelling purposes. If anyone has concerns this would not be used to depict or celebrate war nor as a political statement, etc.

My Super Secret Wish is a mod, or even a tweak of an existing mod, that stops toddlers from shying away from hugs they ask for during the “Check Toddler” interaction. It is *so* irritating to see a toddler respond to a❓with a ❤️ and open arms then step back, often with a 💔, and push the adult away. I’ve tried to stop it with MCCC but no luck.

One of my favorite parts of the game is creating a restaurant or a vet clinic, but the employees are impossible to keep satisfied and they all eventually quit. It would be nice if there was a way to keep them permanently satisfied, or at least make it easier. There is a mod for this but it is extremely outdated and doesn't work anymore. If anyone could update it or make a new one that would be great! 😁

Hi there! Thanks for doing this, it’s a wonderful idea!! I was hoping someone could create an edit of the Snowy Escape female shirt with the turtle neck underneath and open/unbuttoned shirt, here is a link. If they could make it so that the turtle neck and shirt can be different colours, like having the turtle neck have an option under accessories to change colours that overrides the original turtleneck’s colour would be amazing! Maybe they could throw in more colours and designs, like 90’s or plaid, that would be perfect
Thank you so much!

Hi ! There is quite a few things I’d like, but I narrowed it down to three “small” things:
- An accessory top with a high neckline and no sleeves - just to hide cleavage - maybe with some lace at the edge ? and several grey and pastel colors please.
- Some accessory prints for shirts, like those tukete has, maybe some aimed at kids and toddlers too ?
- Makeup for kids. Some people let their kids wear makeup in real life, but adult cc makeup don’t look right on kids, so if anyone is interested in trying… I’d like eye-shadow and lipstick, with some discreet options (but you can go all out too of course).
There you go, thanks everyone and happy holidays !!! ��💕

What I would really like is just something cute for boys!

Hello! This #SSSWish is such a fun idea~ Personally, I'd love if someone updated the Plantsims mods that have broken over the numerous updates. Like, G1G2's Revamped Plantsims, Triplis' Plantsim Interactions, and Simonch8's No Cooldown & Trait mods. I've always loved Plantsims since Sims 2 & 3 days, but my knowledge of modding (and especially updating mods) is near nonexistent, so I can't do this myself. It would be awesome if someone could do it so the community could enjoy Plantsims again~!

I’m trying to make a Sim home for me and my sisters, one of whom adores Kirby, but I can find almost nothing Kirby-related. Other characters from the franchise such as Waddle Dee would be great too.

Anything The Outer Worlds related would be cool! The characters outfits, hair, traits, furniture, really just anything lol

I would serious love if someone could make a flipped version of the Luxury Party Rectangles Bracelet for the right wrist! (It's the one that looks like staggered bars wrapped around the wrist and reminds me of a gauntlet.) #SSSWish.

#ssswish i have 2 wishes if that is ok. first, i was hoping someone could make some nature prints like the framed botanical prints from cottage garden stuff, but with butterflies? or fruit/veg, birds, other bugs, anything really. my second wish is for someone to make a windsor style rocking chair out of the cats and dogs bench, if that is possible. i know that brazenlotus made an armchair from the bench if that helps?

#SSSWISH HAIR for MALE
How about an Elvis pompadour style or similar male hair that are short on top but longer in the back (not slickback long like Get Famous, just not tapered or shaved)?? :)

Hello! Thanks for this beautiful and sweet initiative! I have 2 requests: 1- Shop/selling/store cc that is a real maxis match. I’d like store furniture, packaging and proper showcases for selling goods, or clothes, or food that really match maxis content (think about a herbalist store, tech store or a country fashion store)
2- Start thinking about translate mods: I am an italian simmer and i really love how maxis turned the game in my language…it’s sooo funny!! they did such a great work and I really would like to see some awesome mods in other languages. I offer my help with italian translation to everyone!!

#ssswish This is such a lovely idea! There are so many fun wishes! What I’d like to have (and I think would also be useful for other Simmers) is a wedding themed recolor of the “large pile of presents.” I usually put one of those piles in my wedding venue so that the bride and groom can “open presents” together. But the colors that are on the original are not what you usually see on presents at weddings. (I usually opt for the one that is mostly purple, since purple and lavender are my favorite colors.) What I’d like to have are recolors in white, white/gold, and white/silver. Maybe some white/pastels (especially lavender, pink and blue. The white/pastel recolors would also be nice for having a party that you call a “baby shower” especially if yellow and light green were also available. That kind of party isn’t in the game, but it should be!)

I don’t see the #SSSwish I submitted on your public list (I forgot to use the hashtag before) so I’m submitting it again. I would love to see a mod, or tweak of an existing mod, that stops toddlers from pulling away from a hug after they asked for one in response to a Check Toddler. The toddler will hold up its arms with a ❤️ in the speech bubble then step back and refuse the hug, and the relationship takes a hit. I tried MCCC’s tuner to stop it but it didn’t work.

i would love some…chinese cc haha! With snowy escape there’s more build items that can be used, I’ve noticed there tends to be a lot of Japanese inspired cc even before that pack, but not a lot of things from other parts of Asia, especially ancient cultures or cultural items like instruments (decor), clothing, furniture (lohan beds), etc. I’ve gone looking but most of what I’ve found is locked behind chinese-only forums and is usually alpha…I just think it would be cool to see some mm stuff from other places esp as fandoms get more globalized

#SSSWish I’d love to see a TS4 conversion of an old fave or two from TS2 – the tennis dress that came with the Apartment Life EP and the women’s nerdy cute sweater vest over untucked blouse from FreeTime (just the top preferred over the full outfit with the skirt) are the things I’ve been missing most, but anyone who wants to convert clothes from either of those two EPs or H&M stuff will make me super excited, they all had a lot of nice things.

This is an absolutely fantastic idea! I haven't been able to look around lately but I noticed that most rings/hand accessories aren't compatible with SkinDetail eyelashes. My wish is exactly hand accessories, specifically wedding rings, which don't conflict with SkinDetail eyelashes. It may be helpful to know that plumbobteasociety managed it in their RRS pack. Lastly, you guys rock!

I have another #SSSWish (if you don't mind). I don't know if it already exists but a mod which adds more family relationship options to CAS or the Sim menu.

The Sims 4 Realm of Magic - Early Access CAS Review
Huge thank you to the EA Game Changer Program for providing me with the opportunity to play the Realm of Magic Game Pack early!
I have been quietly hoping for a long time that we would get some kind of Makin’ Magic style pack, so needless to say I was VERY happy when Realm of Magic was announced. I was even happier when the Gurus started “leaking” gameplay images, and completely ecstatic when the trailer came out! So you can imagine how psyched I was when we were given our early access codes and I could finally get in and look everything!
You all know by now how this works, right? If I like something, I generally can’t think of much else to say besides screaming at the top of my lungs “OMG I LOVE IT!”, and if I don’t like something I will straight up tell you guys and explain why... Yeh I’m looking at you Moschino reviews. So with this pack, there are a couple things I had issues with (not as many as Moschino lol) so if you don’t want to hear my nitpicky opinions about those things you can just skip straight to the "The Verdict” section at the bottom of each review.
As per usual, I’ll be posting both CAS and Build/Buy reviews, but instead of a gameplay review (because let’s face it, I never seem to be able to get around to that damn thing lol) this time around I’m going to be posting a short gameplay “story” instead, and will be voicing my opinions about certain things on the posts as it goes along. The gameplay won’t be all posted before the pack releases though, so...
Anon will be back on for the next few days so if you have any questions about Realm of Magic, feel free to send me an ask! ✨
See a preview of all the new CAS items here
I’m still a little uncertain how I feel about CAS as a whole. It has a lot of great stuff and it’s definitely worth having in my game, but it also has quite a few things I don’t like, things that (in my opinion) should have been included that weren’t, and the usual issues with some of the meshes/textures that continue to happen with every new pack.
✨The Hair
For some reason I was expecting more than five hairs? I don’t know why, but based on the trailers this pack seemed like it was going to have a lot more content than any other Game Pack, and it does to a certain degree... just not hairs; there are only five of them. Because let’s be honest, there might be six hairs in the catalogue, but they’re are only five new hairs... and one identical hair with coloured streaks.
Probably a completely unpopular opinion but I’m not a fan of this new trend of getting extra hairs with ombre and streaked textures, I’d rather leave that up to CC makers and have the Sims team work on more new meshes.
Which brings me to the only real issue I have with the hairs in this pack. The streaked version of the long braided hair is really weirdly textured in my opinion. The streaks start right at the hairline and haven’t been feathered/blended out into the rest of the hair very well so it kind of looks like when I accidentally add one of my accessory overlays to a hair it doesn’t belong on LOL
✨The Clothing
The clothing in this pack falls into two categories; Netflix Sabrina and Hand-me-down Winter Harry Potter. Normally that wouldn’t bother me, and in this case the clothing is really well made and looks great, but I do find myself a little disappointed by the lack of what I call “Comfy Casual” clothing.
This could be entirely just a me thing but much like me in real life, my sims rarely leave their homes, and I dunno how you live your life but I don’t walk around my home in fancy button-down shirts and dress pants and shoes. I wear leggings, a hoodie and slippers; and that’s provided I even bother to get out of my PJs that morning! I keep waiting for more comfy casual clothing to be added so my sims don’t have to get all dressed up just to sit around and play video games or finish off that novel they were writing.
But with the exception of a few things in this pack, everything is either ripped, leather, mesh, buckles, collars, or corsets. Which works really well with the whole magical theme of the pack, but spellcasters deserve to be comfy too! That’s not to say the clothes we got aren’t amazing though, they definitely are and I will definitely get a lot of use out of them!
But we all know I mostly talk about the issues I have in these reviews so let’s move on to them properly shall we?
Let’s go from left to right, starting with the drop-crotch pants. This one is quick and simple: can we all just agree that this is not a good look and move on please? It was bad enough in the 90s, we don’t need to be over here in 2019 looking like we’re wearing diapers, thanks.
Oh, key necklace... I was really looking forward to using you. Sadly, unless my sims have literally the smallest possible breasts hanging all the way down to their knees, you look like someone threw you in a fireplace to melt a while 😭
The yellow dress is another classic example of “Instagram vs Reality” meme that tends to happen with every pack. The dress looked really good in the trailers and promo images, but sadly looks butt in game.
The leather bodysuit is cool, huh? Yep, it’s definitely cool. The mesh looks good, the texture is really well done... oh what’s that? You want to wear leggings under it? Well you can’t, sorry. No leggings at all can be used with this bodysuit.
Up next we have the... ahem, Slave Bracelet. I promise you I tried to find a better name but this is the name it usually goes by and the only other one I could find, Harem Bracelet, wasn’t much better 😬 Not the point though! This bracelet/wrist cuff has some weird things happen when you pair it with an outfit that shouldn’t technically allow the bracelet to show up underneath it. As you can see in the example on the far left, with some long tees it doesn’t show the bracelet but still shows the specular for it, and in the image on the far right, with other long tops it kind of merges with mesh and flattens itself on top of them.
Next is one of my pet peeves with quite a few of the clothes in this pack; the addition of gloves, scarfs and other accessories to the outfit/top that should have either been made into their own separate meshes, or left out completely. That top in the image would have been really nice to wear during all seasons, but because of the gloves, it now only makes sense in the colder months.
Then we have the new makeup options, which I know isn’t clothing but shhh lol. It’s EA makeup... do I really need to say more? It probably wouldn’t look as bad if it weren’t so pixelated but whoever is in charge of creating makeup looks for this game needs to get in touch with @crypticsim ASAP ‘cause OOF!
And the last of the pics is something that has constantly bugged me about a lot of meshes in this game, all the way back to base game; why do they change the shape of my sims like that!? Like look at this comparison of my model sim with and without the outfit... WHY!? HOW!? WHY!?
Lastly... This is probably the biggest disappointment with this pack for me and I just don’t even know how to begin to describe how annoyed I am that ONCE AGAIN there is nothing for kids and toddlers. Zero. Zip. Nada. Not a damn thing. That’s two packs in a row with no new content for any sims under teen age and I just don’t get it. Moschino actually make kids and baby clothing! And with this pack, Gurus specifically mentioned that there was a special trait for sims who were born into spellcaster families...
SO WHY NO KIDS/TODDLER STUFF!? 😡
✨The Verdict
I know this all probably came off as sounding really negative, but as I said at the start, when I don’t like something I have a lot to say about it. But I do genuinely love the clothing, it fits the theme of the pack really well and most of it looks great. I just wish a little bit more attention had been paid to certain things, that there was more comfy casual stuff, and that kids and toddlers weren’t once again neglected.
All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own. I am not paid by EA to “hype” their games; I am given the opportunity to review their games early in exchange for an honest review.

all the default hairs i’ve made (ts2)
i posted a cluster of these a few months back, but i have more and i also want to keep them more. organized? so here we are. at some point i may delete the content of the original post and link to here, once i figure out what to do with the hairlines in that post.
this post totally isn’t just here because i’m uploading sims that heavily depend on some of these hairs if anyone wants them to look the same in their game as they do in mine. noooo.
general info.
all the regular binned hairs in this post use the colors isis, nesert, and serqet (by io), molotov (by pooklet), and mateus (by blackswan) as bases because those are my favorite naturals. most unnatural colors are by either me (cosmic) or pooklet (project mayhem), but some have been edited from actions to blend better and may be different to the action they were based on.
the texture i’m currently using is a blend that is unreleased because i don’t... quite remember all the credits for it. but i’m trying to figure those out.
some defaults may have improperly attributed original package creators. if you know the right one, feel free to tell me. some replacements may also have differing ages to the original maxis mesh, it depends on how it was edited by the default creator.
i’ve held onto the psds for all of these hairs and i want to add them to this post eventually. if you need one specifically, just ask, i’d be happy to give it to you if you think painting streak masks is as tedious as i do.
i don’t have plans currently to copy any of these to nondefault meshes, but you don’t need to ask for permission to do so or to release anything.
one last note, i do plan on adding an all-in-one at some point, but there isn’t one yet. i wish sfs had a bulk download option, but alas.

Bibidi-Bobbydi-Bebe
So as I said before, this started off as me converting that cute as heck toddler fro from seasons quite some time ago, but then to make the hairlines all perfect and all that I kinda did a frankenmesh thing and long story short it ended up being a lot more work than I had anticipated lol, BUT personally I’m really happy with the end result(s) and I hope you’ll enjoy these too! ^^
Bibi is the “regular size” with the flower
Bobby is the deflowerd one, and works for both m and f frames!*
Bebe is the extra pouffy one!
See 360 views under cut for all!
Comes with a flower accessory overlay (found in head accessories, same as all my other ones). Accessory overlay works for both regular and deflowered versions ^^ 35 swatches!
Each hair has all 18 EA swatches, all lods, proper tags, disabled for random, shadows, bumps and speculars - everything you need!
All of them are also hat compatible and BGC of course ^^
Everything I make is fully tested but please don’t hesitate to let me know if you run into issues, I want to know! Please don’t reupload somewhere/put behind paywalls, timers or adf*y etc, just don’t monetise my hard work, thank youuu. Always feel free to tag me in your screens, it happies me to see them ^^
Download: Simfileshare // Donate ♥ //Mirror
*To make the Bibi and Bebe hairs also fully unisex like Bobby with no funny business around the face verts etc I would have to alter the meshes, so right now that’s not the case, but maybe in the future if I feel like it/if it’s something people would really really wish for? No promises tho hehe

Anonymous said: Hi! Wcif the shirt you used on your Belle hair post? (Btw, that hair is GORGEOUS.)
I have the cc I use in my previews linked on Patreon. Makeup/skin and all that will be on my resource page once I get around to updating it for my 2 new models (who will be up for download soon hopefully). Also ty <3
Anonymous said: What make-up do you use for most of your posts?
The only eyeshadows I use are by @crypticsim or @catplnt. The makeup I use on Macie/Taylor are listed on my resource page. The other two models makeup will be added once I get them added on there but I know they both use similar stuff to Macie/Taylor.
@thatsimmergirl91 said: Just wanted to take a moment out and say how amazing you are ! I love all your stuff and your blog. Never forget how awesome you are 💗💗💗💗🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you so much. Like I know I am going to be typing a lot of thank yous in this post, but I truly mean them. Playing Sims/Making cc is something I did not think would be such a big thing in my life but god is it and I love doing it. Thank you again <3
Anonymous said: You're incredible and I love all your hairs! In fact, you're my favorite cc hair creator. My question is are you planning on making any hairs with the Island Living meshes anytime soon?
Thank you! I am glad you enjoy my hairs <3 I am planning some stuff with the island living meshes. Probably just a conversion to toddlers if I am able and I might do something simple with the adult meshes to release outside of my Patreon stuff. We shall see though! Ty again
@ayoshi said: When are you opening an Onlyfans?
idk babe when are you posting your birthmarks? ;)
Anonymous said: Heya! Love your cc! You're real talented
thank you! <3 It isn’t so much talent, more or less just a lot of practice and time. I appreciate the compliment though
Anonymous said: any tips to get high quality sims screenshots??
I have 2 methods I use. When I am taking CC previews I rotate my screen using Ctrl + Alt + the ◄ key. For my lookbooks/upcoming Sim downloads I use a method by foursims who deactivated?? This is the method/video <3
@verdeclaroangels said: What skin do you use??💕PS i love u
I use @luumia newest vanilla default, alongside his Smooth Butts overlay, and my own fruitpunch overlay. All are linked over on my resource page <3
@vhlori said: Austin queen of pop!
q king of edits! <3
Anonymous said: i love your creations and i appreciate the time you put into your cc, i wish i could support you 💕
Thank you!! Sometimes the time crunches can be stressful but I put them on myself so I survive haha. Don’t feel the need to support me please <3 I make sure everything is public eventually so that people dont feel like they are missing out on anything by deciding not to pledge. Thank you for wanting to though, I appreciate that a ton.
Anonymous said: Just a rant here. I'm annoyed that there are no rings in the glove category or some other category. The reason I want this is because I use eyelashes that are in the skin detail section and rings don't work and I don't want to use the accessory eyelashes because my sim wears glasses. It annoys me but that's all.
i... rant away luv i feel u
Anonymous said: What do you do besides sims? That is all you post about and I was curious if that is all you play?
I play Roblox with @ayoshi sometimes, cause that is about all my computer can handle lmao. I have a switch so I play some Nintendo titles on there like Zelda, Splatoon 2, and other stuff. I also have been plying Fortnite recently with @imvikai @greenllamas and @pinealexple. That is about all I play right now lmao. I play Animal Crossing Pocket Camp and Pokemon Go on my phone.
Anonymous said: Hi there ! Just wanted to say I've also been experiencing that problem with your 'downloads' page. I don't have a Tumblr account so I had to tell you this way. Perhaps it's a MacBook issue ? I'm not sure, but I'm using a MacBook Pro. Anyways, thank you for all the beautiful cc you provide us with, you're the best.
Yeah I got another ask about them using a Mac for it. That seems to be the problem. I am not a coder, nor do I know a single thing about coding. All I can suggest doing is going to http://aharris00britney.tumblr.com/tagged/s4cc and using that which sucks to page through I know :( I am sorry
Anonymous said: This is really random, but I love your Sims! I normally don't like Sims with Clay hair, but GIRL, you make them work. Just want to say to keep it up, and if I had money I would support you <3
Thank you lmao <3 stan clay hairs

He uuh... idk where they are in my library tbh I can’t find them cause I was going to age him up and show ya but.. yeah idk what happened RIP alien toddler
@amorimlulu said: Hi! I love your creations, they're incredible! I'm completely in love with two of your sims: the asian woman from the patreon 06-16 post and the woman from the ava hair post. Could you, pretty please, upload them on the gallery? I'm dying to play with them. Thank you ^^
I am planning to in the next month! I have the photos taken I just need to get the CC list together and plan it around Island Living posts, CC posts, all that jazzzzzz
Anonymous said: Hello Austin! I really like the way your sims look, so I was wondering if you can tell me where to get the skins and lashes, please? I am new to the Sims 4 and searching for some cute looks :)
Hey! I have this stuff listed on my resource page, and I have over 100 WCIF’s I have answered along with my lookbooks for some clothes. My cc finds blog is @aharris00finds if you want to look there :D
Anonymous said: can i just ask? how do you remove the shadows on hair with S4S? im a complete noob at s4s and i was wondering how you would do it?
You just need to click shadow, then make blank :) pic below
Anonymous said: Hi, just a quick message to say THANK YOU for all those beautiful creations. You are so talented and I want you to know that. Thank you so much for making my sims look way more beautiful !
thank you so much <3 I have said it before and idk if anyone will be able to convince me, but I am not talented lmao it just is experience :)
Anonymous said: hey, could u pls make a tutorial abt how u make ur mesh?? i love ur hair meshes so much
I have tried filming a tutorial before and I will just have to wait til I get a good mic lmao. My speed meshing videos are somewhat useful for learning but they are sped up and without instructions so take it with a grain of salt
Anonymous said: would you ever try to recreate lydia martins hair in 3.04? sorry, but you're the only teen wolf fan thats a simblr that i know and i desperately need that lovely hair in my game. thanks!
tbh I never finished Teen Wolf XD I stopped at the end of season 5 I think. Idk I just lost interest as I grew up :( Also I have no idea what hair that is sdfgfvb and google isnt telling me either. If you can send a link to a picture or DM me a picture I can see if I can make it <3
Anonymous said: Hi, could you please please upload this sim post/183989453251/e41 ! She's just too pretty
Anonymous said: please upload this sim from your post/183989453251/e41 for download? Thanks
Idk if I still have her saved but if I do I might upload her. I will check and see later tonight lmao
Anonymous said: Is there any way to put everything you make into a .zip file. I really like what you make and I wish there was a way to mass download it. It sounds dumb but really I enjoy your content
Tbh since I post hairs 3 times a month it would be hard for me to keep everything up to date. I might do something like all my CC from 2017 in one zip, and all my cc from 2018 in another? and then make one for 2019 at the end of the year. I’m not sure though.
Anonymous said: Wheres the hair in yo profile pic? And will you upload that sim? AND can you make more clothes ur amazing at it!!! (Also, asking 4 my bff <3 r u boy or girl?)
the hair in my current profile pic is Maddie Hair, the sim is already for download, and I will have some clothes coming next month :) I am a boy :P
Anonymous said: hello! is the model sim in your eve hair valentines special downloadable? I find her really pretty. I really enjoy all of your cc!! I love all of them soooo much.. :)
I will check if I saved her to my library, if so I will add it to the list of stuff I wanna try and do <3 also thank you
Anonymous said: Hey! Love your hairs! Can I request a Riley hair without the hairclip?
the riley hair doesn’t have a clip so I am going to assume you mean the Peyton hair since it was released in the same month. It wouldn’t really be possible to do Peyton without the clip since it has a part of the hair going up into the clip. Without it there would be a hole and if the hole was filled in it would still look weird since the hair would be going up into nothing. I’m sorry <3
@lacr1mation23 said: Kinda not a question. But, i'm gonna fangirl all over you. You ROCK!!! I LOVE your CCs. BEST. HAIRS. EVAR. Impressed like woah from Florida.
thank you so much ;n; this made me smile lmao I appreciate stuff like this a ton

I’m not sure what the glitch is, so if you could send me a photo or an explanation of what it is then I could help.

@simsloverlilian said: Hi lol I just think this is really funny, my friend asked me where do you get your cc? and I was like: "oh.. ahoob's WCIF place xDDDDDD" and we both died laughing.. at your place you can get amazing hairs, accs, shirts! (lol love your cc keep it up! ;))
thank you so much! I love that yall use my blog for finding cc :)
@raha-plays-the-sims said: Okay... I actually want to take a screenshot of my Sim with your new Riley hair on to my hair dresser and tell her to cut my hair that way XD I love it so much! Thank you for continuing to make amazing content!

Anonymous said: I just want to say that "EVERYTHING" about your blog/cc/sims is absolutely immaculate. Your CC is like renaissance to Sims 4 modding(I ain't even kidding).Thank you for sharing/uploading them here on tumblr. Would you be uploading any video on how you create your sims on youtube anytime soon? And what sliders do you usually use in creating sims if there are some?
thank you so much!!! I have tried recording my game before and the footage just comes out super lag. Hopefully later this year I will be able to get a computer and I could record something then. Also I don’t use any sliders or presets on my main Sims :)

Anonymous said: How are you able to edit the new game pack when sims4studio hasn't been updated yet? I am itching to edit some stuff but I can't yet :(
I use CAS Tools! I might make a tutorial this week depending on how busy I am. Not sure though <3
Anonymous said: How likely would you be to recommend the new pack to another simmer out of 10?
(this was sent during Strangerville) I would say 8/10 recommendation. But I love storylines and stuff in games so my opinion is very based on that.
Anonymous said: Would you ever make male hair or recolour some of ea's so they work with your ombre accessory?
I am thinking of doing some ombre accessories for the new Island Living pack for the two ombre hairs. I am not sure if I will be able to or not but I will see :)

thank you <3 i appreciate the compliment
Anonymous said:Hi! When you uploaded peach earrings, the blonde sim had a braided hairstyle. Was it cc or a maxis one?
hey! It is from outdoor retreat GP :)
Anonymous said: Have nothing to ask. Just want to tell you that you are amazingly talented. ❤ I have been playing the sims since its original Sims 1 release, and have always been a heavy CC user. (Upwards of 50GB in sims 3). Never have I ever felt the need to download EVERYTHING a creator has ever made, until I found you. So, in short, you are amazeballs. Keep it up.
this is so sweet lmao. Even I don’t have all my own CC in my game <3 I appreciate this so so much. Thank you for this
Anonymous said: How did you learn to create custom content??Did you see any video tutorial? I'm trying to create a hair but I can not get it :(((( help me please
most of the stuff I have learned from trial and error, or help from S4S fourms and friends :) Feel free to message me with questions on tumblr or discord
Anonymous said: I know Sims 5 is still so far away, but I still have a question! With the release of Sims 4 so many awesome creators for Sims 3 just stopped creating from one day to another. So my question is: Could you imagine yourself creating Custom Content for Sims 5? I'm asking because I seriously love every single piece you create for Sims 4, and I really wish the glory era of Ah00b won't end with the release of Sims 5. Ily! <3
it depends on the style that TS5 goes for tbh. I love Sims 4 style and I don’t know much of anything about creating alpha hairs so if TS5 goes that direction I doubt I would be able to create for it. also thank you for calling it the glory era of ah00b lmao
Anonymous said: You have hairs named after all the girls in black pink except Rosé. Is there a reason for this?
Well I named a hair Rosanne thinking it was close enough to her name lmao. I might name a hair coming in July Rosie. We shall see when it gets to July XD

“Garrosh’s Little Shop of Horrors.” [6]
Quest Objective: Babyproof Pandaria (and tattle on a corrupted warchief).
“How did I not see this coming? Toddlers put everything in their mouths!”
“Eona–”
“No, I'm not ignoring this. I should’ve baby proofed the entire continent.”
“Eon.” Andy stared at me sternly from across the table.
“He swallowed the Heart of the Thunder King.” I gagged at the recent memory. My alliance with Wrathion had gone south (big surprise) and ended with him acting his age. I had found nothing to aid my plight against Garrosh, nor to ease Anduin’s painful condition. Simply put, things were not going as well as I’d hoped.
Why does my family always do things like this? Grandma swallowed an entire orc, my mom bit somebody’s face off–what big leap is my diet going to make in the future…? I hate keeping secrets from Anduin, but it might be in his best interest to keep these instances hidden.
“You’re the one that gave it to him! What did you think he would do with it?” Andy asked.
“I don't know...put it on his shelf or something? Anything but devour it like me with a bag of chocolate…” I thought back on what I said. “Which I definitely have not done.”
Andy’s lips spread in a small smile, but it didn't linger long. “Why give it to him? Light, why even join him on his schemes? Family or not, I wouldn't trust him.”
“Neither do I,” I said, scooting my chair closer to his. The Stormwind guards around the stairs tensed and had no clue I’d been even closer than this. “I thought I could find a solution with Garrosh...and something to help you.”
“Me?” Anduin was dumbfounded. His tone was a softer like velvet, “That's sweet, but you shouldn't have to worry. Velen and the mistweavers said I would recover.”
I shot him a doubtful glance, but didn't argue. Andy kept his eagerness to walk around and talk to others, but I still noticed a huge difference. I had known him long enough before to see the changes: the slightly arched brow that hid a vein of pain, the posture more strained. Small changes, but huge in their implication. I couldn't imagine what agony he was really in.
Andy’s fingers slid across the table and entwined with mine. It seemed like a loving, harmless gesture, but inside it had me reeling. Is he insane? The guards just at the foot of the stairs, the innkeeper running to and fro–a simple glance upstairs! Does the Prince of Stormwind really want to hold hands with an immigrant that glows in the dark?
I sat there and gazed at our knot of fingers and hands, set atop the wooden table for everyone to see. I'm not ashamed of him–how could I? He's smart, he's kind, he's charming–he’s perfect. But how is this relationship going to work for us, out of the night and into the light?
“How are you holding up with Garrosh?” Anduin asked, breaking my inquisitive silence.
“Not well.” I admitted. “He hasn't found me yet, but I know plenty of what he's hiding. He's not going to let me get away with that.”
“What did you see?”
I tilted my head to the side, my hair brushing my cheek. “I don't want to drag you deeper into this mess with me.”
“I already met Garrosh and I walked away fine,” Anduin replied, a grin growing on his face as I squinted at him for the comment.
“That's not funny, daredevil. I was worried about you–I still am,” I said as Andy gently squeezed my fingers. “Besides, it's not just what I saw. It's what I do now that I'm stumped on.”
“Depends on what you saw.” Andy replied. He gave me a sincere look, a familiar sign of reassurance that I had witnessed multiple times on our journey. Anduin had a sense of maturity in him that rivaled creatures centuries old–and a seemingly judgeless nature. I didn't want to introduce him to Garrosh’s Phantom lair beneath the stage, but my list of trustworthy allies had grown thin.
I sighed and looked over my shoulder at the near-empty inn. “Fine, I’ll talk. But we’re doing this my way–we can’t risk eavesdroppers on this.”
I retrieved my hand from Anduin’s grasp and dug into the pockets of my green coat. I pulled out a shard of pale pink quartz, dimly glowing in the dark aroma of the inn, and caressed the sides with my fingers.
“What is that?” Andy asked as he peered at the colored stone curiously.
“A crystal,” I explained as the grooves that I traced with my fingers glared a light yellow. “Using them is common on Outland. My father used to have a bunch...I used to record music with them to listen to.”
I set it on the table when I was done and it emitted a low hum.
“What's it doing now?” Anduin asked.
“If anyone hears us talking, I wish them good luck on translating ancient Darnassian.” I replied and looked away from the crystal. “I’ll start from the beginning.”
Andy nodded. I sucked in one last breath, feeling the oxygen fill my lungs. I knew that once it left, one of the most dangerous secrets I ever had to keep would escape with it.
I told him. I told him everything–from the machines designed for death to the peculiar cries in the dark caverns. I recalled the fires licking hot iron rods, eager to consume more. I told him every disgusting detail that haunted my nights until I was finally finished.
“Okay…” The shake of my voice had worn off and returned to its usual scratchiness. “What’s your take on that?”
Andy fingers were steepled together and eyes wide after my tale. I feared I had broken him until he asked, “...Is eavesdropping a habit of yours?”
“That's it? That's the first question that comes to mind?” I said, leaning an arm on the table as I blew my bangs out of my face. I was relieved that he wasn't too alarmed from my recount, but I wasn't expecting this.
“Well, recalling how we met, you were spying on General Nazgrim–”
“I wasn't snooping! I was hiding for my life and falling on my ass–two of my greatest specialties.” I remarked. Many memories of my life included running, hiding, and falling–not necessarily in that order.
“I respectfully disagree–I always considered your talents to be your effortless gracefulness and enthralling humor.” Anduin replied with a heart-stopping smile. It was one of the few times that he had succeeded in flirting with me without it become a quick–or stuttering–mess. Both left me blushing with my insides askew like I had done a row of flips.
I adore him to pieces. Inside I silently reassured myself on masking our conversation. I shook my head, trying to dismiss my crimson cheeks, “My nosy profession aside–what do you think I should do?”
“Hmm,” Anduin’s expression twisted as he contemplated his thoughts, “This is grave news, Eona. I must tell my father about this. Would you join me to speak with him and inform him about Orgrimmar’s state?”
My chest tightened. I actually favored his previous reaction over this one. I wrung my hands as I found the right words, “I...I agree that Varian should know. However, I would probably be killed on the spot, and I think the Horde should be told about this first.”
I sat up straighter in my chair, “If we tell the Alliance, there’s a chance that they’ll blame the entire Horde for this–and not every member is responsible for Garrosh’s...little shop of horrors. I can't do anything to stop Garrosh myself, that would be suicide. I need a loophole…”
We sat together in silence for a minute. Anduin’s hand returned to mine like water to a beach, brushing my knuckles with his thumb in wavelike movements.
“You know of Jaina? Of Theramore–? Well, what was Theramore,” Andy said in an apologetic tone. “I grew up with her, and she was acquainted with High Chieftain Baine. If any of the Horde leaders would listen to you, he would be one of them.”
My eyes narrowed, and my gaze traveled to the balcony. I stood before the railing and peered over the heads of customers, searching for one I knew. A deeper voice and glowing armor plates confirmed my thoughts.
Dezco.
I turned to look back at Andy. “Have you spoken with Sunwalker Dezco recently?”
Anduin shrugged. “A few days ago. He came to speak with me of the light.”
On Baine’s behalf my pink ass. I returned to our table and shut down the crystal. “If you don't mind, I may speak with him.”
“What are you going to say?” Andy asked.
~*~
“Hi.”
Dezco groaned, a loud sound like thunder given his size and his mane shook as he looked over at me. I sat cross legged on a barstool nearby with an innocent look on my face.
“I assume you’ve already spoken with Prince Anduin on Baine’s behalf.” I noted, throwing the lie back at him as the pandaren bartender listened in across the counter.
“What–? Oh, I have,” Sunwalker Dezco confirmed as his gaze returned to his drink. Given the Horde’s high regard of honor, I was shocked he even told the lie. Perhaps it was just a defense mechanism. “And I assume you have done the same.”
I shrugged nonchalantly. “He speaks very highly of you. Nice pauldrons.”
The Sunwalker stiffened as I noted his glowing shoulderpads. He recovered quickly, “I’ll admit, I’m surprised that you are wearing the same thing since I saw you last.”
I glanced down at my outfit, a mesh of greens and browns. I had worn it for most of my journey across Pandaria and it had kept me alive–wearing flashy clothing in my profession was suicide. All that mattered was that I was warm (which was almost always) and could move with ease.
“I value my life, not my wardrobe.” I said.
“Not very many share your opinion.” Dezco didn't clarify whom, but I knew what he meant.
Most of my people are haughty jerks–I can't blame him for loathing me on the spot. I like to think that I’m different; maybe not as rude but definitely irritating. I can't judge myself fairly, but neither can he.
The bar was quiet given Wrathion’s constant presence and the watchful gaze of the Stormwind guards. No matter how low I willed my voice to go, I knew Dezco could hear me. I turned my body towards him and leaned on the side of the bar, “Forgive me, but you don't seem like one to judge a book by it's cover–especially when you traveled here to speak with a human priest.”
There was a noticeable change in the tauren’s chestnut eyes. “The forgiveness is mine, it seems.”
The silent aroma of the inn invaded our conversation. I knew where our exchange of words had to end up, but to get there was a mental maze. Dezco certainly did not give me any time to decode it when he spoke again, “You sought out my company, is there something you need?”
The bartender had left his post behind the bar and ventured out to the tables to refill drinks. There was no need for secrecy.
“I would like to seek council with your High Chieftain.” I admitted.
“Last we spoke, you thought I was a spy of Garrosh’s, so I gather that won't be easy.”
“No, afraid not.”
I was starting to hear how naive and hopeful I sounded. My fingers wanted to tapdance across the counter but I kept them still.
If I can't get off this continent, I'm cornered here until Garrosh finds me. I could pass on my message to Anduin and he could inform the Alliance–but what violence would they unleash upon the rest of the Horde?
I was about to cut off our failed chat when a fist slammed the bar space between us. Dezco flinched and I looked up at Wrathion.
Ever since eating the Thunder King’s Heart, he had been receiving visions (and waves of nausea) and had retired to the shadows of the inn. Now he arose from his stealthy slumber and stared down the tauren with deadshot eyes.
As Wrathion withdrew his hand from the counter, I noticed gashes in the wood from his talons. The bartender would be furious, but I doubted he would ask Wrath to pay reparations.
“We have not met,” Dezco replied, baffled at Wrath’s theatrical nature.
“It does not matter,” Wrath’s tone was as elegant and refined as satin, but a subtle ferocity was sewn in. His white turban perched atop his head, slightly bouncing with every slight move like the fabric was nodding along with it's master’s intentions.
“You will fill any request this woman gives you with class and respect.” Wrathion’s last words were more of a hiss. “If she needs to leave this island, you will help her do so in any way necessary. Have I made myself clear?”
I felt sympathy for Dezco after just connecting with him. Even if the tauren’s sitting form still towered high above Wrathion, Dezco stared down at him like the most dangerous snake in the world.
The Sunwalker rose to his hooves and bowed his large head in my direction. “My apologies. I will speak with my escort and see what we may conjure to return to Thunder Bluff.”
Dezco stomped out of the inn like a bull provoked. Wrathion slid onto the barstool next to mine and summoned the barkeep back with a simple gesture. The poor pandaren hurried over and set two full cups on the counter.
“What was that all about?” I said, thanking the frazzled bartender with his fur standing on end as I took my drink. The liquid reeked of lime, and when I finally raised it to my lips I identified it as a mojito. I would’ve told him no alcohol since he was underage, but I held my tongue.
“You were kind enough to help me with my plans, even if that meant sneaking around your royal school boy upstairs.” Wrath remarked, and claimed the other mojito as he took a sip. I couldn't help the glare that formed when he did so, but I knew better than to complain.
“Besides, we did not find what you wanted the first time. Consider this a profitable loss,” Wrath added.
“Thank you.” I truly meant it when I said it. Ever since I had met Wrathion he was sort of...apathetic at times. It was nice to see him care about other living beings–for a short time, anyway.
“Only for my sister,” Wrath knocked his mug against mine as he stood. Before he moved to leave, he bent down close to my ear.
“But I take what I want. And I will steal your delicious blond boyfriend upstairs while you’re gone and...salten him a little.”
I gawked at him as he stood upright and cleared his throat. “Enjoy your trip. I suddenly have the urge to walk the path of enlightenment.”
The bartender gave me a pitiful look and a free refill as I heard Wrathion climb the stairs behind me. “Oh Anduin! I’d like to show you how I put the ‘stud’ in Bible study!”
This family has a sick way of saying ‘I love you.’

The Last Hunt
This story is a possibility. It is not a story of what will be, merely a story of what could be.
The old man dozed in his chair on the back porch of his house.
He wasn’t as young as he used to be, and the pleasant weather combined with the comfortable cacophony of children playing about in the water relaxed him to the point of drowsiness. Were he capable of more than just nodding off comfortably in his chair at the moment, he might grump about how even as little as five years ago he would have been eagerly joining in their play. But such was life, and such was the harsh mistresses that were Time and Age.
At eight-and-sixty, Arden Tide had surpassed his own life expectancy by a good three decades. Many of the people he’d called friend had preceded him into whatever came after, precious few still lived, and they rarely visited anymore- mostly due to their own infirmities in dealing with their dotage. It didn't bother him. They still communicated by pearl when the mood struck them. He knew everyone had their hands full these days.
“Tell us a story, Gran’papa Tide!”
The abruptness woke him with a start, and the old man cursed up a storm that had the dozen miqo’te children that had scampered up to the porch giggling in amusement. Arden couldn’t help but curl his lips into a wry smile.
“Come on now, children,” came a voice from behind him as the mesh-screen door opened and out came a miqo’te woman- lovely, statuesque, far taller than a normal miqo’te, standing at just a shade over six fulms in height, with jet black hair, piercing blue eyes and skin the color of chocolate. “You leave yoah Gran’papa to rest, don’t botha him none!” she said in an admonishing tone of voice.
Arden couldn’t help but chuckle indulgently as the cubs before him looked abashed. “It’s fine, Arha,” he said at length, shifting in his seat. “Nap time was almost over anyway,” he deadpanned. “What story do you li’l troublemakers wanna hear this time, eh?”
“The one about the creepy house!”
“Unka Dunrai’s battle in Bahdam’s Mettle!”
“The great morbol hunt!”
“Gran’mama Zareen’s last hunt!”
All became silent at this last one. That story was a favorite, and it showed as many young cubs’ heads all rapidly nodded in a rare show of solidarity. Gran’mama Zareen, the last of the Jaguar Tribe, and also Mother of the Jaguar Tribe. A legend. A myth that had lived and breathed, whose memory lived on in the Shroud, where the new Jaguar made their home.
She, the love of his life.
Everything that this iteration of the Jaguar was they owed to Y’zareen Serhan. all of the stories, all of the laws that the Jaguar followed had been set down by her, at first so that the Jaguar would not be forgotten… but then so that her cubs- their cubs, her and Arden’s- would have something to go by, a blueprint to follow.
Y’arha was the eldest of them, the mistress of the hunt, the teacher, the mother either in fact or in spirit to a whole generation. And it was her hand which came to rest on Arden’s left shoulder. Another warm sensation came to rest on his right- another hand, this one belonging to their youngest, Y’sarang, the one who most closely resembled her mother- the same build, the same height, the same color eyes, the same color hair, the same facial features and sometimes even the same expressions. She, too, was a huntress and a teacher. And a Sin-Eater, like their mother had been. But unlike their mother, she had not been shunned for her duty. The new Jaguar learned from the mistakes of the past, after all, and she was honored and revered for her sacrifice like Y’zareen should have been.
Y’ravin, their son and middle cub- who like his elder sister inherited his unusually large size, his hair and his eyes from his father- carried his own young cub on his shoulders, grinning as he approached the gathering. He’d never shown interest in becoming a leader, or challenging for the position of Nunh, but he supported his family in all things- in his case, along with Arden’s sister Ravija’s children, he kept the family business, the Aldenard Protection Agency, alive and well decades after its inception. “Hah, they’re all so quiet. Must be tellin’ that story again, eh, Pop?”
Arden smirked at his boy- no, he wasn’t a boy anymore but a man grown with a cub of his own. “Near as I can remember, a certain someone who’s gotten too big for his britches used t’sit just as quiet-like.”
“Hey, I still do! Just making an observation- sic ‘im, Y’zareen,” he said as he set the toddler down, and the little girl who was his great love’s namesake ran right towards her grandfather, all but crashing into him like only a young cub who had just learned how to run could.
Arden laughed and picked the cub into his arms and set her down on his lap. “Well now, someone’s happy to see me,” he grinned.
“Stowwy!” the girl said, patting the old man’s chest playfully.
“Oh, I see how it is, just like these little heathens over here, ya just want me for me words,” he play-grumped. The little girl giggled.
“Awright, awright, gather in close, I ain’t gonna yell it out for the lotta ya,” he said, smiling when all of the cubs sitting near his feet- his son included- scooched closer.
“Let’s see now...It was nigh on ten years ago,” he began, and slowly lost himself in the familiar cadence and rhythm and words of the story. He didn’t even have to think about it anymore, so well-practiced and well-memorized was this story. It was, without a doubt his favorite story to tell. The one that stung the most, yet filled him with the most pride. The story of his Jaguar, his mate, his fire, his shadow, his storm. His Zareen.
And it was a complete and total lie.
The story was as much a dramatic retelling of their final hunt together as it was an exaggeration of the things that Zareen- and now Arha- had tried to instill in the young ones. Discipline. Duty. Ferocity and implacability against your enemies. Letting your emotions run free but not letting them run away from you. Keeping a level head. Doing what you must. Making the hard choices and living with them, or dying by them
But he never told them what actually happened during that precious hour that Sarangerel’s bracelet gave her, the hour to decide exactly how she wanted to end her life after she finally succumbed to the Void within. And Twelve willing, he never would. That bittersweet pain was all his own and it always would be.
They knew from the beginning that they were on borrowed time, but neither of them expected to spend twenty-three glorious years together. More than enough, yet not nearly enough. She had been careful over the years, and the signs of her inner void taint took a long time to develop. Discipline. Self-control. The will to resist temptation. Considering how Zareen loved to live life to its fullest right to the end- dancing on that razor’s edge, playing with fire and shadow, becoming that storm that Arden loved so intensely, hunting her prey until the very last moment, spending all those years burning in her fire were as great a gift as the three cubs that they made together. Year after year the taint inside her changed her outwardly, but she was still the same. Her hair became closer to a mane. She grew downwardly curved horns. The tattoos on her body came alive, spreading and covering her arms. Her hands became larger, her claws stretched and became long, wicked razors that she could retract at a whim, and near the end of their time together, whenever she called upon her aether a nimbus crown of blue-black void energy floated above her head- as if they needed more confirmation of what she was slowly becoming.
But even though every second they spent together was as precious as the rarest of gems, that last day- that last hour- was the most precious of all.
They had known going into that day, when the veins in her body and the blood within them grew black, that it was almost time. And so they hunted one last time, together. They went to the ruins of the ancient city of Mhach, which were still infested by powerful voidsent. And it wasn’t long after they began their hunt that Sarangerel’s bracelet finally activated- the dull metal disc finally opened and revealed the arcane pattern of gems that blazed with power which it hid.
They both knew what that meant- Zareen’s mind would no longer be her own in an hour’s time. She would become that which she had hunted and destroyed for decades.
And so Arden wove a fanciful story.
A story of a frightful battle against a voidsent he didn’t actually know existed or not, against hordes of creatures that never actually happened. Of Zareen deciding that it was finally time to end her last hunt, bolting on ahead to the heart of the city and detonating her soulstone, like a star itself being born before his eye, burning as brightly and as furiously as her heart always had.
His children knew the story for a lie, but they allowed him this one thing- this one lie- because they saw how happy it made him to share this story with the cubs. They heard the fierce pride in his voice when he spoke of how they battled their way through the hordes of minor voidlings to reach their target, and they saw the painful longing in his eye when he spoke of his great love: Y’zareen Serhan, their mother.
They didn’t know the truth. They didn’t have to know it. No one but his old friends Khenbish and Dunrai knew the truth, because they were the ones he went to after Zareen’s hunt was over.
No one else needed to know what happened in that last, precious hour. No one needed to know about the tears and the screams, about the anguish and the terror. No one needed to know exactly how much a man and a woman could do with one another or say to one another when there is literally no time to waste. No one needed to hear about the gentle retellings of their favorite moments together, about the fierce, loving pride they felt at all they accomplished as partners and mates. No one needed to know how badly Arden wished to follow his mate to the Lady’s side, but for his need to stay. Ravin and Sarang were young yet, and needed their father’s guidance, and Arha was yet too young and unproven to lead the reborn Jaguar on her own.
But for them- for the three beautiful, strong, courageous, intelligent cubs created from Arden and Zareen’s love, fire, shadow and storm- the story would have ended before it was ever told.
And so Arden watched his beloved go, before the void claimed her forever, and watched as the voidsent swarmed her. And she fought them, roaring in defiance the entire time as they wounded her time and again, until that brilliant flash of light and power from her exploding soulstone claimed them all along with her.
Arden stayed rooted to the spot long after the marsh had reclaimed the crater that had been the center of the ancient ruin, and he hardly remembered returning to the custom mana-cutter he’d had built for traveling on their tandem hunts. He hardly remembered getting in and flying his way back to the Shroud, to Khenbish and Dunrai’s home, where they had so often welcomed his and Zareen’s cubs when they went out to hunt, where their own procession of adoptive children had come and gone. He hardly remembered collapsing to his knees in front of them when they greeted him. There were no words exchanged- no words needed to be exchanged, they knew immediately why he had come.
And his brothers held onto him, kept him together when the shattered pieces of his heart threatened to fall and disappear into the nothing where they had been hidden before Zareen had walked into his life. They kept him together for this, he thought to himself as he brought the story to its conclusion, smiling at the awed, joyful expression in each cubs’ face, at the way his son’s eyes glistened with emotion, at the fierce pride in the smiles of his daughters.
He wouldn’t have known any of this without Zareen. He wouldn’t have seen their cubs grow and thrive and have cubs of their own. He wouldn’t have known the bittersweetness of raising his own family, with and without his beloved.
*********
The old man dozed in his chair on the back porch of his house.
Vah’an...
He wasn’t as young as he used to be, and the sun’s rays had slowly begun to dip down and darkness filled the Shroud combined with the comfortable cacophony of children playing about in the water had relaxed him to the point of drowsiness.
Vah’an…
Were he capable of more than just nodding off comfortably in his chair at the moment, he might grump about how even as little as five years ago he would have been eagerly joining in their play.
It is being time to awaken, my vah’an…
But such was life, and such was the harsh mistresses that were Time and Age.
It is being time foah one last hunt, yes?
The gentleness of the call woke him with a start, and the old man cursed up a storm. Arden looked around and saw that the moon’s light was the only thing illuminating the clearing behind his home. Where were his cubs? Where were the grandcubs? He forced himself to calm down. Something had to be wrong- they wouldn’t just leave him there, asleep. Abruptly he shot to his feet when he saw something out of the corner of his eye.
A cat.
A large one.
A jaguar, sitting at the edge of the treeline, as slight blue-white corona of aether surrounding it. Arden gasped, rubbing his eye and blinking rapidly. When he looked again the jaguar was trotting away, into the forest.
Arden didn’t think- he simply gave chase, all thoughts of his children and grandchildren flying away like startled birds, because he knew this had to be a dream. The rapidity with which he ran out of breath and his muscles protested the sudden activity after such a long time without it quickly put paid to that belief.
Arden panicked as he lost sight of the jaguar, and he spun in place, gulping air as he tried to find it. Find her.
Because it had to be her.
“My vah’an…”
Arden turned abruptly at the sound of her voice.
“Zareen,” he said, breathless, eye wide in wonder as the very image of Y’zareen Serhan as she had been on the day they met stood before him, shrouded in that blue-white light.
“Ahden, my mate,” she replied, her smile as dazzling and her eyes as brilliant as he remembered them. “Long have I missed you,” she said, lifting her hands to his cheeks. They felt warm, with the familiar calluses and the very tiny pinpricks of her claws that he’d long ago committed to memory.
It felt like an eternity before Arden was able to speak. “I’ve missed you too. Every damn second of every damn day.” His voice was thick with emotion, his eye glistening with unshed tears as he touched one of her cheeks with an aged, well-spotted hand.
“I know,” he said, her smile turning sad, “I am being sorreh. But I am also being proud, my vah’an. Proud of what you and ouah cubs have built. It is being theah time, now. It is being time foah you to come home, aftah one last hunt togethah, like befoah,” she said, and leaned up to kiss him on the lips.
Instantly, the old man felt that rush he hadn’t felt since the day she died- that fire, that shadow, that storm.
And in that one moment, Arden Tide was no longer an old man.
He was as young, as happy and as full of vigor as the day they met, as the day she said she loved him for the first time, as the day she told him she was carrying their first cub.
“One last hunt,” she smiled. “One last hunt, and then we return home to The Rivah- to be letting it take us wheah it may, so we can find each othah again in the next life, yes?”
Arden’s response was simply in the kiss he gave her in return.
********
The tiger and the jaguar padded away together into the forest.
Y’arha, Y’ravin and Y’sarang wept tears of joy as they saw their parents reunited for the last time- the perfect end to their imperfect love story.

Since I have the flu I have plenty of time to work on this fic
I’m hoping that by posting the first bit maybe some feedback might really get me going to work on it and finish? It’s a two part memory loss kid fic (first from Jack’s pov, 2nd from Bitty’s) and so far I have ~1500 of part one and ~2300 of part 2. I do have some personal experience with concussions and brain injuries but the only formal studying i’ve done on brains is neuro/psycholinguistics which has no base here. There are a LOT of liberties I am taking and will continue to take :x Also this is like...... not even proofread, let alone beta’d
There is a lot more to do and I still need to figure out how to end part 1 but uhh.... here it goes? The first 1500 words of part one
***
There’s a child in the bed next to Jack.
He finds it strange because he’s an adult. His neighbor is up and about and probably no older than four. Jack wonders where the line is drawn between pediatrics and other specialized units.
His harangued father was around but Jack thinks he’s in a meeting with Dr. O right now.
Jack himself isn’t very sure why he’s still here for a concussion. He knows he’s been having memory problems. His mother might have mentioned it. He knows his age he knows quite a bit about history and hockey but he can’t remember the game that sent him here or the teammate who supposedly camped out in the ER. He remembers the month and who won the Stanley Cup for the last ten years but he doesn’t remember having friends or who his nurse was… is? Has the shift changed over yet?
His roommate is four. Jack doesn’t know where Alicia is or where the boys father is but he hopes they come back soon because the boy is climbing into Jack’s bed, pull-up peeking out of his gown.
“Um,” says Jack.
“...” says the boy.
“Have we… met?” He asks, because it’s likely that they have. It’s odd, Jack doesn’t remember being told about his memory issues but he knows he has them. Kind of like Finding Dory.
… is that a book or a movie?
“Where’s your father?” Jack tries again. The boy stares. “Your… uncle? Brother? Youthful grandfather?” He keeps trying even though he knows the blonde man is the boy's father (how does he know?). But all the boy does is blink owlishly up at him and make himself comfortable under Jack’s blanket. Well, all right then. Far be it from him to deny a toddler comfort while waiting for his father. He lets himself bask in the contact as he waits for his own parent.
It’s nearly ten minutes later that Bob walks through the door. Jack assumes he’s just forgotten his dad coming into the country so he raises his hand casually and shrugs as much as he can without dislodging the boy.
“I cross international borders because my son has a brain injury and all I get is a-” he waves pathetically.
“Sorry. I didn’t actually know if you’d been here yet. I just assumed I forgot.”
Jack can tell by his father’s face that he hasn’t spoken to anyone about his condition in depth yet.
“Jack, this all just happened two days ago.”
That… is actually very surprising. Jack looks around the room at the dresser, the television, the children’s decorations in the corner of the boy’s side of the room, and all he can think is that it feels more familiar than two days. He lets out an unimpressive, “huh,” then, “why did you come two days after mom?”
Bob approaches the bed far too carefully. The boy in Jack’s lap raises his arms up until Bob picks him up and sits on the side of Jack’s bed. Jack knows that Bob is fond of kids but picking up strange toddler patients is a little much. He’s trying to collect his thoughts enough to say so when his dad speaks again.
“Jack…” he stops. Jack can see that he’s choosing his words very carefully. “Your mother only beat me her two hours while I was checking into the hotel. We were in France until this morning. How much… where’s she gone? Where’s your doctor?”
“Mom is with the boy’s father I think. Maybe Dr. O. Or…. somewhere.”
Bob mouths “the boy” just as Alicia and the blonde father come back. There’s a flurry of activity that Jack can’t concentrate on. All he knows is that he’s in his room, alone, and there’s a boy in the bed next to him.
Jack’s roommate is a four year old boy in pull-ups and a hospital gown. He has dark blonde hair and huge eyes, all partially hidden by a wrap of mesh keeping wires attached to his head. He’s sleeping at the moment and Jack envies him. The lights of the room are dim and he’s tired, yet awake. He feels ready for bed. Or maybe he’s just woken up?
The boy’s father is in a gliding chair between the two beds. He’s young and attractive and sitting ramrod straight as he carefully avoids Jack’s eyes. Jack feels awkward about that. Sharing close quarters with someone makes him feel obligated to talk but he can never think of something normal to say. Part of him wants to see if he might have access to a private room. Another part of him wishes his mom were here because he doesn’t want to be alone. An overwhelmingly large part of him thinks the blonde dad is very cute. It’s a new feeling for Jack, finding someone attractive so easily. He doesn't hate it.
“What a picture we make,” Blonde dad says in a sleepy southern drawl. His voice is as low as the lights and Jack thinks he could listen to him speak for days. Then he realizes that the child is asleep and blonde dad is probably talking to Jack. Were they having a conversation? Had they been introduced? Is it rude to ask? Or more rude to assume?
Blonde dad looks over and must see something deserving of pity. He gives a sad smile. “Now, don’t work yourself up into a state, sweetpea. I know you’ve got some memory problems going on. You go ahead and ask anything you need. Don’t be embarrassed.”
When people tell you not to be embarrassed, it’s probably because you should be. But Jack feels like he could believe anything that lovely thick voice says. His mind is going too fast and sluggish at the same time. It takes him a while to form the words. “Where are my parents?”
“Just went to their hotel for the night. They’ll be back in the morning. They’ve got a nasty case of jet lag.”
Jack nods sagely, an image in his head of Bob fleeing the aggressive pigeons of Paris. “He hates birds.” He knows that won’t make sense to blonde dad but…
But…
Blonde dad smiles brilliantly. “They were in France.”
Obviously, Jack wants to say. He wants to ask how much he’s spoken to his parents in the last however long.
“What’s your name?” He asks instead and hopes he’ll remember. Blonde dad looks back at his sleeping son and makes a sound like a cut off sigh.
“I’m Eric. This is Julien.”
“He’s very friendly.” Jack says. He doesn’t know why. Julien is asleep which is a rather neutral thing to do. Eric smiles at him and shrugs a single shoulder.
“He’s very shy with strangers.”
“Well, he can’t… ” Jack squints at the sleeping boy, as if that would give him answers. “Talk?”
Eric makes a face, still turned mostly away from Jack. “Won’t,” he says. Jack makes an inquiring sound. “He can talk just fine but he won’t. Not lately, at least. It comes and goes but it’s been worse for a few days. I don’t… I can’t…” Eric turns completely to face Julien’s bed as his voice cracks. Jack doesn’t need to know him to know that he’s crying. Jack doesn’t push and doesn’t ask any more questions.
Jack’s roommate is four years old because they have the same neurologist. Possibly. Dr. O is very casual but intelligent and Julien loves him dearly. The toddler raises his arms for a hug every time the man enters the room.
“How did his tests go, today?” Eric asks from the glider where he’d been sitting with his son. Dr. O pushes down the railing on the miniature bed so that he can sit and hold Julien at the same time.
“Dr. Stewart is optimistic. He’s responding somewhat but mostly it’s up to him. I can continue pull some strings for a little while, but…”
As Dr. O trails off, Eric’s face becomes pinched. He gets up from the chair so that he can fuss with the lights of the mini tree on the dresser. Jack stares at the tree and wonders for some period time. A moment. A minute. A second. Was it Christmas?
“How can I take him home in this state? I can’t… I can’t be home enough to take care of him. And he needs that. I can’t… I don’t know…”
Between the dim lights of the room and the glowing Christmas tree, Eric looks beautiful even as he falls apart.

Why Are We Still Judging Mums For How They Dress?
When my firstborn was a few months old, I dyed my waist-length curly brown hair into a bright red hue reminiscent of a fire engine. Emboldened by the transformation, I embraced the more alternative sides of my aesthetic, including a love for dark lipsticks, silky gold trench coats and fishnet tights. After weeks of sleep deprivation and a shift in my lifestyle so drastic that I don’t believe I’ll ever have the words to describe it fully, these looks helped me feel a little more like me: the me that existed outside and beyond motherhood.
I ventured to my first baby group shortly thereafter. The first of my friend network to have children, I was desperate to meet other parents. I wanted someone to talk to about nursing, sleep training and the struggle to “have it all” (a notion I was becoming more and more cynical about). I hoped that I would find community at these sessions — after all, wasn’t that the whole point of them? Weren’t they specifically designed to allow babies and toddlers to socialise while helping their parents feel less alone?
Walking into that baby group with my new hair, Dr. Martens and ‘90s-style brown lipstick, however, it was pretty clear that I wouldn’t be walking out with a new mate. At least a dozen mothers and a couple of dads were sitting in a circle and it felt like every single one of them turned to face me. Eyebrows were raised, whispers were whispered and I realised that this wasn’t going to be the place for me.
As a fat woman (and a former fat kid and teen), I’m fairly used to feeling judged simply for existing. Still, I had convinced myself that new parents experiencing such an overwhelming transition would be somehow warmer. In the sea of muted cardigans, nude lip gloss and bright white trainers, though, no one wished to show me any warmth. Conversations carried on without me, not a single soul said hello and even the group leader skipped over my daughter Luna and me when greeting the rest of the room.
In the years since, I’ve had a second child. I’ve continued to experiment with fashion and makeup. I’ve found social media groups for alternative parents through which to meet people who would never react to my presence like those at that first baby group. Still, I’ve continued to notice that when I embrace more alternative looks — like when I shaved the sides of my head or wore a bright pink, puffy-sleeved, sequin mesh dress to a local café with my daughters in tow — my parenting seems to come into question in the form of not-so-subtle stares, dismissive healthcare providers and an awful lot of side-eye and silence from fellow parents at the park.
“I’ve definitely found I feel judged by other parents based on my look,” Brookelle Skoyles, a mum and a 6ft goth, tells Refinery29. “The assumption seems to be that I’m a neglectful parent — that I let him run wild and be violent, and that doesn’t seem to shake even when they watch me talk to him and be very engaged. Sometimes people don’t even think he’s mine, which seems weird when he calls me ‘mummy’.”
Much like my experiences, Skoyles has felt judged in baby group environments. “At a group I used to attend weekly, I was very outcast and not really spoken to by other mums,” she remembers. “My son bit another child (for the first time ever) and I was as shocked as everyone else. I took him to one side to talk to him (he was only about 20 months old) and I overheard another mum say, ‘Of course it’s hers. We know to avoid him.'”
Pam, a Brighton-based mother, also attests to the toxicity of certain parenting circles. “I remember when my little boy was very small, walking into a room with lots of other new mums and feeling just completely out of place with my bright eyeshadow and Dr. Martens, compared to what I just saw as a lot of ‘normal’ people,” she says. “I had a summer baby so I had tattoos out, [was] breastfeeding everywhere I needed to, and in that particular group I felt like a huge sore thumb.” Nobody spoke to Pam while she was there and combined with her then undiagnosed postnatal depression, the experience was quite shattering.
Because she is also gay, Pam says she’s familiar with feeling judged. She also looks younger than she is, which may lead some people to think she’s somehow ill-equipped to raise a child. Many folks do seem to correlate alternative styles with immaturity — so when an alternative mother shows up, she’s perhaps assumed too juvenile to be a decent parent. This is something Sarah Hadland from Milton Keynes noticed during her first pregnancy.
“While my midwife had been amazing, I met the health visitor for the first time […] on a warm day and I was wearing a vest top, which meant she could see my tattoo sleeves,” she recalls. “I also have stretched lobes. She spoke to my mum like another adult but spoke down to me like a child.”
Hadland actually devised a “mum disguise” to help her get taken more seriously by the medical world when seeking a diagnosis for her son’s autism. At 18 months, he “would have meltdowns so strong he would injure the both of us, scream so hard he would throw up, and he could just collapse out of exhaustion,” she explains. “He never slept. He would sleep in the bed with me or [if I was] walking him around in the sling. He would just crash wherever he stood during the day. I was told to give him a bath.”
When she tried to get a second opinion, she decided to wear leggings, a plain cardigan and a wig. “I got three sessions with a (shit) sleep specialist,” she says. Hoping she was wrong, she dressed in her usual style when she later met with a speech and language therapist. Though this particular practitioner was fine, a new health visitor continued to speak down to her. “It was only when her car broke down and she had to wait at mine for an hour for AA that she got to know me, see what Fox was like and actually push forward for the diagnosis.”
Hadland suspects there are other reasons people harshly critique supposedly ‘alternative’ mums. “I think because the way we dress is so personal, a mum having any sort of style or personal identity is seen as a vanity thing and therefore we don’t value our children as much.” There is still a ton of pressure put onto mothers, in particular, to sacrifice their personhood in exchange for motherhood; to devote every waking moment and thought to our little ones, eschewing all the things that make us individuals along the way.
“I also wonder if some of it is class bias left over from the ‘70s and ‘80s (when most of our parents and healthcare providers’ generation are from),” she muses. “Punk and goth came out of the underclass, the poor, the working class. Many from homes on benefits, which today carries a bias furthered by conservative propaganda.”
Hadland is hopeful that things will shift when millennials and Zoomers are in our 50s, as she believes we’re a “kinder generation on the whole”. Still, coping with feeling outcast as a parent is one of the loneliest, most alienating feelings I’ve personally experienced in my transition into motherhood. At a time when people should be coming together and helping one another feel less stressed, anxious and utterly hopeless, mean parents akin to grown-up versions of the cast of Mean Girls are hardly what anyone needs.
Pam hopes that some of these parents can learn to look past appearances and whatever connotations they associate with those appearances. “Yes, I have short hair and I wear tons of makeup and I am tattooed, but I am the best mum my son could want,” she says. “All mums have the same experiences, and we should be able to share them.”
Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?

How different would slaos would be if Holt siblings grew along with Lance, Hunk and Loraine??
Matt is seventeen when they move to Veradera.
He’s hardly keen on the idea—Houston born and raised; the concept of some quiet, sleepy seaside town on the East Coast is an anathema to him, and he shares none of his parents’ enthusiasm for the peace and serenity of it all.
The place is a cobbled together mess of grand, newly built homes facing the water, protected as private by the rising seaside cliffs, and leftover neighborhoods of older homes a ten-minute walk down crumbling sidewalks and sandy pathways to the beach. It’s a mismatch of weatherworn family homes and bungalows, mom-and-pop ice cream and fish & chip shops, and the upscale construction projects looking to capitalize on a relatively unspoiled place.
“It’s rustic,” his dad says when they first drive through town.
Matt thinks of the Houston bustle and the constant loud chatter of his former school. “It’s boring,” he sighs, and next to him Pidge cheers her agreement.
He spends three days moping indoors—in their house that is neither quite one of those seaside cottages nor of the new designs, but somewhere in between—before his mother kicks him out, with instructions to take Pidge to the park.
“Under duress,” Pidge declares as he walks her there, tiny pigtails bobbing in the seemingly never ending coastal breeze Matt already loathes. “Taking me to the park under duress. I never asked for this!”
Matt wonders where the hell his seven-year-old sister picked up the phrase under duress, and then promptly forgets about said concern when, upon entering the park, a child falls out of a tree and on top of his head.
He screeches, the kid screeches, and somewhere along the way he hears a shout of “Lance!” and looks up to see another kid and a girl about his age, with long hair that snags on the branches and falls in front of her eyes, sitting in the tree.
“I’m ok!” The human projectile he can determine is likely Lance calls back. Matt groans into the dirt where he has landed, and Pidge yells a war cry, picking up a pinecone and chucking it at the girl in the tree in an effort to avenge her brother.
And that’s how they wind up with the McClains, plus one Hunk Garrett, as something like friends.
Really, Matt isn’t very good with people. He’s better than Pidge, not like it’s hard, but for the most part he’s hardly a social butterfly, though that doesn’t stop Loraine and her two shadows invading his life, regardless. Pidge is dragged into friendship by the kids—Loraine’s brother Lance and his constant companion Hunk—and after a few weeks of kicking up a fuss for the sake of it, Pidge decides the boys are all right after all and attaches herself to them as her possessions with that kind of blunt stubbornness she exudes in most everything.
Matt, as her built-in (and severely reluctant) babysitter, is in turn left with Loraine, the boys’ enthusiastic (and more than willing) caretaker. She’s all summer-kissed skin and bright, twinkling laughter, and while he would never have expected a friendship to work between them, it somehow just…does. They sit on top of picnic benches together as the kids play on weekend afternoons, Matt with his book as he glares down at it against the sun and Loraine with her bright smiles and nimble fingers that braid his slightly-too-long hair as she reads over his shoulder when she’s not watching Lance and Hunk, and it’s…good.
It’s weird, and as mismatched as Veradera itself, but that doesn’t stop it any more than it does the town from being as it is. Matt is the slightly quirky teacher’s pet attending college several years early that he drives twenty minutes to every morning, and Loraine is the small town golden girl of the public school that she bikes to come rain or shine. His family is small and spread out across the country. His father is on Garrison payroll and on call for NASA, and his mother works in some shiny building in D.C. doing things he’s not allowed to ask about, for purposes of national security. Loraine’s family is large and tight knit, her father is dead, and her mother makes a mean chocolate cake and is the kindest woman he has ever met.
Matt is an avowed atheist, from a family of avowed atheists. Loraine wears a cross around her neck, but her sister wears a Star of David, and the lot of them can’t quite seem to decide is they’re Catholic like their mother or Jewish like their father to begin with. It gives Matt a headache, and when he tells her as much she laughs, high and true.
Most people won’t talk about those things. Religion. Faith. But Matt is the kind of person where curiosity will outweigh social propriety each time, and Loraine is the kind that believes every question is a good one, so they have many debates over the subject against the setting of the summer sun.
“Don’t you want something to believe in?” Loraine asks him once, grin crooked and face alight in the sun’s glow, and Matt decides if he believes in anything, it’s her—because when he looks at Loraine, he cannot imagine any laws of the universe compelling her to do anything but what she wishes.
When Matt is eighteen, the Garrison offers him a full ride for their upper division research program, like his father before him, and he leaves as Loraine stays. He almost asks her to apply, to come with him, because Matt is a genius as expected for the Holt name, but Loraine is her own kind of quietly brilliant, easily up to the task.
But more than he knows her brilliance, he knows her stubbornness. Veradera—and Lance, always Lance—is her world, and she would never leave so long as people need her here. The unfinished Garrison application she’d told him about once is proof enough of that. She’d made her decision long before he could have impacted it.
When he gets to the Garrison, his roommate notices his picture of the two of them and shoves him, asking about his girlfriend with the pretty eyes.
“She’s my best friend,” he says stubbornly, and then puts the photo away in his desk drawer for good measure, the idea of unknowing eyes seeing Loraine and reducing her to pretty grating in a way he can’t quite understand.
When Matt is nineteen, he gets a call from his mother—hesitant and heartbroken in a way he hasn’t heard her since his grandfather died when he was a child—and his world is yanked out from under his feet.
He comes back for the funeral, and only feels numb as he stares blankly at the casket being lowered, Pidge sniffling and clinging to his arm in a way she hasn’t since she was a toddler. A priest says a quiet sermon, because Loraine was the sister that wore a cross, after all, and Matt feels like standing up and demanding what kind of fucked up God would let someone like Loraine die.
It’s not until it’s all over, and the mourners begin to depart, that it finally begins to sink in that this is really happening. She’s gone and the world will never have her sun again and he wasn’t even here.
Loraine is gone.
At least, he thinks as much until they go to pay their respects to her family, and Matt sees Lance, tiny in his chair, yet so large in his quiet gaze that sees far too much for a child his age. He’s wearing her cross around his neck, hands curled into fists in his lap, and when Matt looks at his face, narrowed eyes and sallow, still sickly skin, he sees that same stubborn determination he knew of summer nights and brash faith.
If the universe couldn’t bend Loraine to its will, Matt decides, it can’t do the same for Lance either, because he sees her in her brother’s eyes, still as powerful and compelling as the tide.
And he doesn’t know whether that reassure or terrifies him more.
Perhaps both. Everything about Veradera, about Loraine, had always been a mesh of impossible combinations, after all.
Why the hell wouldn’t Lance--her shadow, her moon, her love--be the same?
