Hello, my apologies if this has been already asked before, but I really love your skin deafults and I'm wondering If you are possibly planning to make them for supernaturals? And if not, would it be alright with you if someone made them using your skin deafults as a base? (with credit, of course)

Hey and thanks! The reason I haven't released any supernaturals is I'm satisfied with what I got as defaults. They're compatible with my main skins, and most of them are detail overlays rather than full skins, which is imo better! Link list below!

Vampires: my 2018 edit to Magpie's this corrosion that I don't remember what I did with, but if nothing else, it matches my eye defaults. Blackened fingers and lips and some veins, I don't think I have a picture though

Genie: Rudhira used my skins for this already, bless!

Witches: HP's normal skin for witches, the classic

Werewolves: I prefer this small edit to Maxis werewolf, the majority of the cute fluffy-looking defaults out there aren't really to my taste

Zombies: Lifa's overlay is tight

Plantsims: uhh looks like nothing there at the moment, actually :o Play them so little that I hadn't even noticed, but my idea was vine/plant tattoos as overlay rather than green skin.

So these are good! I definitely will be making my own plantsims at least when I have the time and inclination but in the meantime people can do whatever they want, right? yeah, they'd be edits of my cc just like anything else, that's fine.

Hey, where can I find that green knitted sweater that Angela wears?

Angela wears two green knitted sweaters, so I wasn't sure which one you wanted.

The light green one she wears as a teen is @serabiet's Audrey sweater converted for teens by @linasims2.

The darker green one she wears as an adult is @serabiet's Sea Captain sweater.

I recommend them both, because they're absolutely gorgeous in-game. And if neither of those was the one you wanted, please let me know so I can get the correct links.

A DM in the SW5e Westmarch responded to a nat 1 on a perception check with “[character], the floor is made of floor.” Every nat 1 perception in the server is now “the [x] is made of [x].”

A character with a -1 wis rolled a 0, which led to:

Me: “The floor is made of floor, allegedly.”

Current DM (hi @spyscrapper): “Is it.”

Original ‘the floor is made of floor’ DM: “The floor might be made of floor.”

The floors are with us, at least. Even if the perception checks aren’t.

dnd jokes that will always be funny no matter what your dm tells you

"jesus christ" "who's that"

"this is just like (tv show/movie)" "that's my favorite play"

referring to famous musicians or actors from the real world as "bards"

adding the word "fantasy" in front of modern things (i pull out my Fantasy iPhone and open Fantasy Tinder)

"how hurt are you" "on a scale of one to twenty-eight i'd say i'm at about a nine."

feel free to add more

21, 25, 30 for the core 4 (kris, greg lily and avelina <3)

21. what common etiquette do they disagree with? do they still follow it?

kris: not so much disagreeing with, he just finds it really uncomfortable to maintain eye contact with people at all times, or smile at them like constantly. he'll try to do it but for the latter he'll complain to greg that it hurts his face if he has to do it for more than twenty minutes

greg: answered here

lily: hates small talk with a passion. she considers continued politeness to people who have proven themselves to be shit a waste of everyone's time- if she doesn't like someone, they'll know. why would she discuss the weather with an idiot?

avelina: has been repeatedly told that infodumping is rude... personally she doesn't agree with that, she's just trying to share her knowledge, and if they were really bothered by it then they'd let her know, right? still though, sometimes she stops herself before she sees another person's eyes glaze over

the rest are under the cut :p

25. what subject / topic do they know a lot about that’s completely useless to the direct plot?

kris: i think he's quite interested in like. technology specifically home computers which in this time period are like the amazing never-before-seen peak of individual tech. form and function of like electronics in general fascinates him if he were in modern day he'd def be the type to take apart his pc again and again and upgrade it

greg: iiiii personally think hes a massive american football fan. the one with the shoulder pads and helmets and the running directly into each other all that jazz idk im not into it soo yea

lily: not sure how much of a factor this will play into the plot itself but i think she's an artist! not like super devoted or professional but she sketches often. and says she has a good. eye for it. cue audience groan

avelina: astrophysics 😭 which like. again i don't know SHIT about so i don't know how much will make it into the story itself. just know that she's a genius at this stuff- of the four of them, she's the mathematician

30. when they make a mistake and feel bad, does the guilt differ when it’s personal versus when it’s professional?

kris: he feels like a general base amount of aimless guilt constantly and tries not to really do anything that could result in a mistake and then exacerbating that feeling. personal is worse by far though, he has less experience with the alternative

greg: he doesn't like acknowledging when he's made mistakes and as a consequence of that either feels no guilt at all or a crushing amount. the more personal something is the more defensive he's liable to get

lily: i think for lily the guilt is on a bit of a delay- she'll apologise immediately if someone is really firm with her but the actual understanding of where she went wrong would be something she'd have to work out later on her own time under her own justifications even if it's explained to her in the moment. ultimately if she can concretely Fix what went wrong then she won't feel guilt at all

avelina: she will pretty much feel terrible no matter what, even if she's apologised, unless the other party tangibly proves to her that she's forgiven. i don't know if this is a bad trait or not? she's not like trying to be forgiven just to alleviate her own upset but unless she really really believes she's in the clear the guilt will eat away at her no matter the justification

Hi Becca 🩷

I see u as one of the iconic spooky simmers so i wanted to ask if u have any cool lore for the occult sim game? Specifically vampires and werewolves? I just like hearing abt ppls lore and ideas for their games :3 I’m currently in my occult kick rn so I’m really interested in knowing lol!!

ICONIC SPOOKY SIMMERS 😭 thank u fae <33

i looove that you asked me about this! i too like to hear about other people's lore when it comes to occults. i actually wrote a whole page of lore for my personal game, i keep forgetting to put it on my navigation tho bc honestly i think i need to update it, the vampires page is waaay too deep bc i wrote it when i was hyperfixating on vtm (which i still adore) and i also have nothing for werewolves 😩

[sith-shenanigans]

I SAW THAT POST YESTERDAY

having viral posts is all fun and games until you have clowns in your mentions being like "well, op, i bet you also didn't know THIS" [haughtily explains something i absolutely would and do know] like add whatever to my posts that you think is informative just don't direct it at ME! i know! i just didn't include it in the post i made in 20 seconds because i didn't think 30,000 of you would see it!

[gunthermunch]

Ernest’s story is so tragic and I’m glad it’s over because it’s so sad I cannot accept that he d worded like that…😭 ur so good at writing characters. I’m super excited to see Lucas because he’s my favorite 🫣🫶🏼 that is my son.

we still have a little extra regarding the prologue so maybe sad isnt over yet sorry. also thank you so much fae!!!!!!!!

[cheekblush]

where have you been friend? I hope you’re doing well 💕

hello sweet angel 🪽 how kind of you to check in on me, i didn’t think anyone even noticed my absence on here 🥹 i’m doing alright, just tired from work. unfortunately i don’t have a lot of free time ever since i started working full time. that’s also why i’m less on tumblr as of late. but recently i was fortunate enough to spend an absolutely beautiful vacation in italy which filled me with so much joy 💖 i hope you’re doing great and wishing you only the very best! stay healthy and take care 🫶🏻💕🧸💫🦋🍥🌱💞🎐

Ma tu che opinione ti sei fatta della scelta di zerocalcare di non dire fascisti, ma nazisti. Con lo spiegone almeno ho capito le sue intenzioni, ma fino a quel momento ero molto in dubbio. Vista la caratterizzazione dei fascisti secondo me avrebbe avuto senso chiamarli così e basta, alla fine si rifanno principalmente a quello e il loro comportamento nella serie è in linea con quello che il fascismo è stato ed è. Non c'era pericolo che la gente pensasse "vabbè son fascisti, nulla di che" e quindi anche irl il ragionamento che ne sarebbe scaturito è che se uno è fascio non ci sono scusanti, è una merda e basta.

Ciao anon!

Mah ti dico, ne ho preso atto senza pensare a molto altro; è una scelta ponderata che ha abbastanza senso secondo me, considerato chi è al governo in questo momento e considerato che anche al di là dei fasci al governo, l'opinione generale è sempre stata che "apperò ha fatto anche cose buone".

Alla fine, Predappio è una meta turistica con il PD (credo ancora) all'amministrazione che lascia fare perché sossoldi: non so se hai letto Predappio Toxic Waste Blues dei Wu Ming ai tempi, se non l'hai fatto te lo consiglio vivamente, sono tre articoli lunghetti ma un'analisi lucidissima sulla situazione italiana sia a Predappio che con il fascismo in generale. La maggioranza dei votanti ha votato Giorgia Meloni, che ok magari istituzionalmente non dice più "sono fascista", ma è un messaggio che arriva forte e chiaro a chi la vota e dice (come Cesare) che ha bisogno di una mano forte e di più regole.

Il rischio più che altro mi sembra la separazione tra chi sta al governo e chi sta nelle strade. Non parliamo di GM (che ci sta visto che è stato scritto/pensato prima che salisse in carica eh) ma solo dei picchiatori, senza pensare che sono due facce della stessa medaglia, e senza il fascismo degli antifascisti (E QUI STO USANDO IL CONTESTO CORRETTO PER QUELLA CITAZIONE DI ME) che c'è stato prima di lei, non ci sarebbe lei e non ci sarebbero i picchiatori nelle strade.

Alla fine, noialtri che guardiamo zerocalcare dalla nostra bolla di politica bene o male di sx sappiamo perfettamente di cosa parliamo quando parliamo di fascismo, nazismo, o, cazzo ne so. Imperialismo fase suprema del capitalismo. È anche molto semplice (e qui parlo per me) dire a Michele che le sue opinioni politiche estere fanno abbastanza cacare, e dirglielo da sinistra.

Però la serie è una serie Netflix che si rivolge un po' a tutti. Certo, nei tutti non sono considerati quelli che fanno il corteo in memoria di Ramelli ogni aprile a Milano, però sono considerate quelle persone che magari pensano che Renzi non sia poi così malvagio, e che Minniti ha fatto bene a fare quello che ha fatto perché lo ha fatto col beneplacito dei famosi antifascisti :)

Quindi tutto sommato lo capisco quando li chiama nazisti. È un termine che ancora fa paura, anche ai fasci che "l'unico errore di Mussolini è stato allearsi con Hitler."

[sith-shenanigans]

personally I think there’s something to be said for inventing the category

big fan of the term "sex pervert". what other kinds of pervert are there. inquiring minds want to know

[randomnameless]

back to fodlan, do you have any thoughts about everyone reacting negatively or lack of reaction with the immaculate one's form?

"in this game, canon is whatever you want it to be"

- Redshit, 2022

It's completely bonkers because Rhea isn't really subtle, we have Macuil on the KoS's sigil, a dragon (herself? Cichol?) on the CoS's sigil, she has herself some small figurines of dragons on her chimney, and the tenets and even those "beginning of the chapter" art + captions explain how the IO is a dragon, has "mighty wings" and helps people randomly!

A friend even noted how Seiros is called, in the scriptures, the Goddess's child :

As the goddess's child, Seiros makes emperors of mortals

Coupled with Lake Teutates's temple and how the one in Sreng is said to be there for people to "venerate a sacred beast", apparition of a Nabatean, in their bestial form, shouldn't be like, normal, but it's more like "wow it's the dragon from the legend" than "eww lizard" or "eww cruel monster" or even some fan coined "there was no word in Fodlan to describe this monstruosity"

People joked about early after the game's release, but when Rhea turns into the IO in CF, it's as if Pope Francis becomes an archangel - it isn't supposed to be monstruous, (unless we're talking about the angel looking like eldritch creatures and even then) but something that exists in legends, something everyone heard of.

Ultimately, the DLC book where some schmuck wonders how Relics works nearly name drops Nabateans, wondering something about the "Children of the Goddess" so with all those clues around, yep, while not being as common as a winged horse, Nabateans and their bestial forms are heard of in Fodlan, and not seen as "creatures" or "evil beasts" or whatever, if the CoS really has the influence some people argue it has, Nabateans in their alternate forms are "sacred beasts", not monsters.

Leonie being a country bumpkin might not know about it and react "wow a magic beast!", but Claude who became the Leader of the Alliance and apparently researches a lot, made a link between Birdie and the IO, even if was a bit surprised at the talking Birdie.

Bernie, the heir of the Minister of Religion, calling the Immaculate One - a figure and legend in the Seiros religion - a scary creature or thinking it's a monster, thought, is complete bollocks.

Nopes imo put the final nail in the coffin with the Mittelfrank script - about that human being lost in a forest, running away from a giant monster with a horn that looks like a giant unicorn, meeting a random weirdo in a forest, falling in love and most likely discovering the monster and the human are one and the same - if Adrestians can write stories or even have legends about humans shagging shapeshifters, then why the eff are Adrestian nobles (our peeps from CF) so afraid and outright rejecting Rhea's IO form, calling it something monstruous or vile or whatever?

Like, the second Supreme Leader uses Rhea's form to call her a vile and inhuman beast that needs to be put off, any random Adrestian would press X to doubt, because she's the IO, the legendary being who protected Fodlan :

"But she looks like a Monster!!! And has scales! And isn't human!!"

"Why, haven't you seen the readaptation of Liora in the mist, played by the Mittelfrank company last summer in Enbarr? I heard it was a hit, hell, Dorothea played the role of Liora!"

"But she is.not.human!"

"Well duh, Saint Seiros herself descended from the Goddess, of course she wasn't human. Just like your family, you aren't humans either since you descend from Saint Seiros, right?"

"Hubert, prepare the information campaign, those poor people need to be educated and see the truth about how they were lied to for too many years."

-

Granted, if CF really went through this route, we would have to see information campaigns about how Seiros rewrote history to make people believe she wasn't a cruel being who had regard for human life because of her race, thus all those stories people are using are lies ; she pretends her people aren't inherently wrong!

(but that might fly a bit too close to irl stuff even for KT)
