On the topic of the L&Ds boys singing, I can totally see Rafayel or Caleb try to convince Zayne to sing Let it go

I think MC or Caleb would sing "do you wanna build a snowman" while knocking at the door to his clinic at Akso hospital

Geez yall really want these men to have their K-Pop phase like the Obey Me Boys XD

But yeah it's in the cards. I feel like bullying Zayne would be in the cards for MC and Caleb like they love that man but at the same time they wanna embarrass him.

Bringing Rafayel is their secret weapon since I get the vibes Zayne might not stand Raf (≖ᴗ≖✿)

The LDB I mainly play with Tally is Helena, full name Helena Adelaise Mede. She’s the granddaughter of Titus Mede II and is also related to the Carvain dynasty of Bruma. However people began to grow more and more disillusioned with the Empire, particularly after the Great War, and Helena decided to renounce her title and seek something else for herself. She initially headed for Bruma, however ended up deciding not to stay and instead traveled to Skyrim.

Idk I wanted to play around with the concept of someone belonging to the Emporer’s bloodline being named Dragonborn. I feel like there’s a lot of untapped potential there.

What kind of backstories do players have for their Dragonborn?

Currently working on a future script and would like some input if anyone is willing to share their stories.

Indigenous People's Day

DR. HENRIETTA MANN Cheyenne

On this Indigenous Peoples' Day, we are featuring Matika Wilbur’s recent publication Project 562: Changing the Way We See Native America, published by Ten Speed Press in 2023. Wilbur (b. 1984) is a visual storyteller and member of the Swinomish and Tulalip peoples of coastal Washington. She holds a degree from the Brooks Institute of Photography alongside a teaching certificate that has shaped her style of educating through narrative portraits.  

Project 562: Changing the Way We See Native America, a book born from a documentary project of the same name, resolves to share contemporary Native issues and culture. In 2012 Wilbur set out from Seattle to visit and photograph all 562 plus Native American sovereign territories in the United States.

Wilbur’s engagement with the communities she visited resulted in the creation of hundreds of dynamic portraits and documentation of conversations about “tribal sovereignty, self-determination, wellness, recovery from historical trauma, decolonization of the mind, and revitalization of culture.” She refers to her portraiture approach as “an indigenous photography method” that includes several hours and sometimes days of interaction with the participants, an exchange of energy and gifts, and asking sitters to choose their portrait location. The outcome is a stunning collection of Native narratives and portraits.

This was something that was definately on my list to redo in Afterglow, but I had been putting off just down to the sheer amount of items that would need recolouring... but now my texture defaults are done, I may as well tackle my Nihongami style kit!

Ultimatley most of the information is the same as my Pooklet texture version. To save you downloading both versions, I've included all of the non-hair texture accessories in the zip, too. Remember to pick one mesh for the Long Yue bun, the original mesh, or the edited mesh that works better with the shimada hairstyle. The only new thing really is that I made a second alpha edit of the Rose hime bangs that are shorter than the original alpha, but they don't clash and you can have both. All hairpieces are in the five Afterglow naturals in seperate labelled packages. The original bodyshop previews have the details of the different mesh variations so here are those:

long yue bun / rose hime bangs / han bun / spirit of spring twin buns / kushi comb / taka shimada band / hana kanzashi / lady yi wig / spirit of spring twin bun / taoboa 5 flower / sims 2 heaven bun / birabira kanzashi / chinkoro mage / red bud hairpin / unique bun / fu rong jin pins / fu rong jin bun / aromatic bun / tama kanzashi / ougi kanzashi

you can see in the banner preview that there's a lot of ways to arrange these together, and I have a few more on display in the original post! I was watching Blue Eye Samurai a while ago, and there's a lot of shimada inspiration there, the animators took care to give the characters varying shapes and styles, so the variety is really cool to see ^^

Then I made some recolours of the base hair, the Goze Traditional Shimada. @letomills has an odd ability to intuit what I want without even asking, and made an edited version of the mesh which works better with hairlines, which is really something that disspointed me with the original mesh, so those are the meshes included! I made 3 variations on the alpha; the first is the 'original' shimada; with the shibori and the tama kanzashi. This time I made the decision to edit out the odd coin shaped kanzashi as I can't say I'm entireley sure what it was ment to be, and it was just getting in the way of nice and authentic looking styles. I also added a shibori texture to the shibori because... why was there a shibori tie with no shibori in the first place? The second alpha is the flowers one, I made the same pink and blue versions as in Leto's edit. the last is my plain, no accessories shimada, which is just hair with no extra accessories to be layered with a variety of hairpieces or just worn by itself! Lastly I thought it'd be good to do the male hairstyle that Hriveresse converted from the same pack, so I fought the mapping of traditional sumo (and the mapping won, it's horrid) to accompany the F hairs. Shimada is 3638 poly, sumo is 4048, all versions come in the original Afterglow family binned into one package each, meshes in the zips, fully compressorized.

Hi!! I am so excited for volume 2, all the pre-release stuff has been absolutely phenomenal. I have a question: if the nuns existed in the modern day, what kind of bands do you think they'd listen to?

keeping in mind that I would in no way want to stifle anyone else’s interpretations of the characters here’s my crack at this, limited by my own tastes and knowledge:

Eustace—prog rock, jazz and jazz fusion, experimental rock. Stereolab/Steely Dan/Fieval Is Glauque

Darcy—Sleep, Om, YOB, etc.

Katherine & Margaret—they share similar tastes; they act ironically detached from it but are incredibly knowledgeable of mainstream and alternative pop. Margaret likes With A Hammer and Katherine is a LDR stan but is making a lot of Brat Summer posts

Adela—Raver. Euphoric trance apologist

Angela—Singer-songwriter stuff. Cries whenever Landslide comes on.

Moira—Similar taste to Margaret and Katherine but gravitates to the more retro-sounding production that’s popular right now. Dua Lipa, Bruno Mars etc. Really likes a 70s funk bassline and a string section in a pop song

Charity—Cliff Richard fan

Marta—Wouldn’t be caught dead talking about anything but classical music, but secretly loves ABBA.

Flora—Will never give you a straight answer on this. can recite the entire “fucked up in the crib eating okey dokeys” song by heart though

Hedwig—Classical music and film scores to movies she’s never seen. Eustace gave her a copy of Paul Simon—Graceland that she hasn’t listened to yet

[scotianostra]

On June 23rd 1927 the singer Kenneth McKellar was born.

One of the most accomplished classical tenors of his generation, Kenneth McKellar was born in Paisley, the son of a grocer his earliest musical experiences came from the family gramophone, but he was also taken toconcerts at St Andrew’s Halls, Glasgow.

Kenneth was soon entertaining family friends by impersonating his favourite singers. But his greatest pleasure in his early years was exploring the Scottish Highlands. The depletion of Scotland’s forest reserves during the World War II left him with a burning desire to help restore them, and after leaving the John Neilson school, Paisley,

Despite a keen interest in music, McKellar initially studied forestry at Aberdeen University. He also joined the university choir, where his vocal talent was apparent, and he received individual coaching from the university’s director of music. While still a student, McKellar made his first broadcast, from the BBC studios in Glasgow, after gaining his degree he joined the Scottish Forestry Commission. Over the next two years he took part in a research and survey programme on the woodlands travelling by horseback up and down the Scottish countryside.

After two years as a forester, McKellar decided to switch careers and take up a scholarship at the Royal College of Music in London. While still a student, he made a private recording in a booth at the HMV record shop in Oxford Street singing Roger Quilter’s O Mistress Mine and a few Scottish ballads. HMV sent the recording to Parlophone, which immediately gave him a recording contract. He recorded eight sides of songs and ballads on 78 rpm’s.

These records helped him to get a job in the chorus of the Carl Rosa opera company after graduation. There, he was given an opportunity to sing the opening aria from Rossini’s Barber of Seville so well that he was promoted to principal tenor.

After two years of touring, McKellar decided that a career in opera was “like living in a goldfish bowl, and I thought, I don’t need this. All I want to do is sing.” A few months after leaving, he signed a new recording contract with Decca, for whom he went on to make more than 30 LPs between the mid-1950s and the early 80s. These encompassed a huge range, from mainstream classical and religious songs through excerpts from Broadway musicals to the Scottish popular tradition of Robert Burns, Harry Lauder and well-known folk pieces.

With his 1960 album, Songs of Robert Burns, McKellar was among the first contemporary singers to revisit the poet’s whole body of work. He also recorded and performed more recent songs by Scottish composers, notably The Song of the Clyde by RY Bell and Ian Gourlay. If you have watched the 60’s film Billy Liar you will have heard Kenneth belting out Song of the Clyde at the start of the film! Another fact on this song is it was the very first record played on Scotland’s first commercial radio station on 31st December 1973.

McKellar occasionally wrote songs too, including the comic piece The Midges and the patriotic The Tartan, he was not averse to participating in the “tartanry” side of Scottish culture, which emphasised the more kitsch elements of national song, dance, dress and cuisine. With Jimmy Shand and his band plus the hosts Andy Stewart and Moira Anderson, he is indelibly associated with the White Heather Club, the BBC TV show that saw in the New Year in the late 1950s and 60s.

McKellar supported a number of charities, was an honorary president of Burns societies around the world and was a trustee of the Scottish International Education Trust.

As we await the crucial game tonight against Hungary it is only fitting I post this song......

DEMO (tba)

———————————————————————————————————————-

It was all a blur.

Seven months ago, you were sitting in your history class as usual, doodling on the sides of your notes as Ms. Schevick blabbed on and on. There was nothing in particular that really stuck with you. That is, until she brought up a familiar name - Awá, a formerly worshipped God of Forgiveness who fell from the heavens after the Massacre of Innocence.

From then on, that name burned in your mind. Every moment you spent thinking about what could’ve happened, headaches were suddenly normalized to you after the doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong with you. You ransacked the library (and Google) trying to find any information on Awá, but alas, there were none. Your little sister would get worried everytime you came out of your bedroom, all disheveled and sleep deprived. Your once vivid dreams ceased to exist. Worst of all, your memories are distorting and you can’t remember things that were true to you.

Which brings us to today, when in the cursed early hours of the morning, you woke up in a cold sweat. Taking deep breathes, you realize that you had a dream, a vision of some sorts. A vision with Awá and the words coming from their mouth,

“Who shall weep for the sinners?”

Customize and play as an inattentive eighteen year old - from gender to looks, it’s all up to you!

Try to survive high school and life as snobby teachers, a worried parent, your sister’s weird classroom bullies, and a deadbeat counselor are thrown at you.

Find out why Awá fell from the heavens, the meaning of their words, and what on earth that has to do with you.

Experience young love (or just chill) with either your best friend, your picture perfect crush-since-six-years-ago, or the new kid in your grade.

Make a decision at the end of the journey that could determine the very fates of everyone around.

☎️ YOU — the seeker and the search

Description: A student trying to live life as normally as possible. Unfortunately, fate is a fickle thing, especially for you. You don’t really have a straight, dedicated purpose of life, at least, that’s what you think.

Reputation: You’re practically a nobody. The teachers are too conceited to even be concerned by what you do.

Playlist / Pinterest

🎷 NATALIE (she/they) — the grounded sword-bearer

Description: A young girl who is confident and aspired enough to try to get to the top of her grade. She’s your sister, but with the way that she acts, many people aren’t convinced you two are closely related. She has weird, geeky interests and a personality that draws others near.

Reputation: So far, you’ve heard she’s a band kid and a few people have talked about her campaigns during school. She’s a tad bit popular and managed to get close to her English teacher, Mr. Chen.

Playlist / Pinterest

🔎 OLIVER AUCLAIRE (they/them) — the cat entwined with curiosity

Description: An enby who recently transfered to your school. It’s a little bit questioning considering there clearly was a better school in the area, but they seem very fascinated and intrigued by every little thing. Often times, there’s a spark in their eyes as they experience new things.

Reputation: Fresh meat. Everyone in their classes know of them.

Playlist / Pinterest

🏆 AXEL MARTINEZ (he/him) — the comforter of the fearing

Description: A boy alike to a golden retriever. He’s very warm and holds nothing against anyone. He’s also sort of competitive and would never, ever back down from a challenge. There would never be a day where people wouldn’t find you and him seperated, but sometimes it feels very…. strange.

Reputation: He has a good reputation, known by some of the boys in sports teams as just a general volunteer who’d crack a joke every once in a while.

Playlist / Pinterest

🗡️ MOIRA JOYCE SAMPAYA (she/her) - the epitomy of pure perfection

Description: A girl whose perfect. Okay, that may be an overstatement, but she certainly has it all - the looks, the personality, the mannerisms and gestures, everything. She is very understanding and likes to compliment people for personal things she notices over time. She’s been your crush since six years ago, but you may as well be just like all the others.

Reputation: She’s an idol. You see her around, constantly swarmed by her girlfriends or new students. A busy student, indeed, with a promising future - she managed to gain the positive attention of all of her teachers.

Playlist / Pinterest

🕊️ AWÁ (any/all) - the wielder of mercy

Description: A fallen God.

Reputation: What reputation is there to have when you have lost yourself in time?

Playlist / Pinterest

… and more you’ll meet along the way!
