#not so berry challenge scenario

[aurora--sky]

Chcę napisać tylko, że jak coś to widziałam Wasze zgłoszenia, że tłumaczenia Basemental Drugs i Not So Berry Challenge Scenario nie działają, i że wkrótce się tym zajmę 🫶🏻

Edit: Jest problem z tłumaczeniem Not So Berry Challenge Scenario i właśnie to naprawiam. Sprawdziłam tłumaczenie Basemental Drugs i działa w mojej grze. Działa z wersją darmową, jak i z płatną. Działają też tłumaczenia dodatkowych pakietów. Jeśli komuś nie chce pokazywać się w grze to musi się upewnić, czy nie ma w folderze Mods/folderze moda jakiś starych, nieaktualnych plików moda/tłumaczenia. No i czy ma najnowsze wersje obu. Edit 2: Mod NSB Scenario to jeden wielki chaos, który udało mi się ogarnąć (Mod ma 1 plik w ang. wersji, ale w polskiej ma już 2 pliki ukryte w modzie. Nie dało się go normalnie naprawić, musiałam robić jakieś dziwne czary-mary (twórca nie usunął starej wersji z polskich linijek, więc mamy podwojone teksty + jeden z tych tekstów ma dodane nowe linijki... idk co się stało.)) i tłumaczenie już działa, a aktualizację można już pobrać!

Dracule Mihawk; Ideal Type Deep Dive

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

A/N: this is prolly gonna be setting up some blurbs I do of Mihawk x reader but the reader’s like a loose OC w/some distinctions like backstory/general wardrobe nothing too forceful so readers can still feel like apart of the story but something I’d have fun writing yk so the writing style of this is different than original headcanons, leans more into blurbs

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Think Morticia and Gomez Addams

Mihawk would like someone that matches his dark and aloof aura

Mihawk is rather disengaged and bored of just about everything in life, but his lover is the one thing that he is engrossed by. I’m talking obsession, like a couple that’s too in love with each other that no one else is in the room with them.

Mihawk would be drawn to something with intense, dark features like darker hair and eyes. Sucker for lipstick, any shade of red. Black lipstick is one of his favorites too.

Mihawk would need to be with someone that can hold their own. His partner needs to be able to fight and be strong enough to defend themselves in a majority of scenarios.

Mihawk lives for thrill whether he admits it or not. His partner and him in a wild love chase *chef’s kiss*. Someone who can match his ‘cat and mouse’ energy and be frisky with him. Someone that likes to mess around with him and ignite their relationship. Be that some caresses then a smooth exit out the door or challenging him to something, he’s following you as soon as you’re out of his sight.

Mihawk would love long length dresses. Something that screams regality and empowers his lover and makes them look beautiful.

I see Mihawk as being a sucker for teasing. Your gown has a deep v neck and your cleavage is exposed perfectly? He’s looking. There’s a thigh split in your skirt or dress? He’s looking. Your corset hugs your waist and accentuates your hips. He’s looking and feeling you up. Whisper something in his ear, give him a long moment of intense eye contact, rub your hand along his chest then exit the room. He loves loves loves it!! He loves it all I cannot stress enough he’s transfixed by his lover for life.

Mihawk most likely wouldn’t want someone clingy, but someone obsessed with him. There’s a fine line and it’s easy it blur it. Whining about how he’s been gone from Muggy Kingdom and made you feel kinda lonely might come across as irritating if he heard it too many times. Someone who could keep themselves busy until he returns and grab him by his coat collar and tell him that he spent too much time away from the island is more enticing to him and makes him just as obsessed as his lover. (I really hope that made sense)

Mihawk likes someone that can banter with him too. Someone that can flirt with him whether it’s just them in the room or a whole navy fleet. Someone bold and confident in themselves, that loves themselves maybe a bit too much.

(Literally just imagine a scene with you and Mihawk exchanging flirtatious eye contact while fending off against marines and yall end up right next to each other and just as the last marina drops he grabs ahold of you and whispers another love confession against your lips omfg..)

Mihawk would want someone that is well rounded. Someone who knows the way the world works and has a good brain underneath all their beauty. Someone cunning enough to scam a poor barkeeper out of their berri but compassionate enough to feed the stray cats of the town. Someone that can hold a conversation with him of the best wines or whiskey and defend their favorites against his own.

Someone with manners. Mihawk appreciates couth people that talk with an air of knowledge and slyness and can read through the lines of marine propaganda. Mihawk needs some romance in his relationship, there must be love and trust, not just looks and lust.

Mihawk would pour his whole being into a relationship and needs that to be reciprocated. While he might be nonchalant, he can still be dedicated. People may know of his lover, they may not. He doesn’t really speak upon it but won’t deny it if someone were to bring it up.

Someone that was also a pirate would suit Mihawk. They can handle being away from him for long periods of a time, they can defend themselves and have connections to powerful people (shanks imagine you knew shanks outside of Mihawk’s rivalry with him). He would never entangle with a marine, he has a strong hatred for them because of his past. A civilian that hasn’t led a tumultuous life wouldn’t be best prepared for whatever hardships may come Mihawk and his love’s way.

Someone who knows how to dance!!! Oml imagine dancing with Mihawk and not js white girl dancing I’m talking duo romantic dances. Theres romance, there’s sexual tension, there’s a bond that flows between y’all’s bodies.

Someone with desire in them. Lemme explain, someone that can go a couple months without his help sexually, but craves him so bad when they finally reunite they can have a passionate session once alone. Someone to match his romantic freakiness.

Mihawk would want his partner to have a healthy relationship with sex. Sex is an act of devotion, and whether him and his love engage it 0 or 3 times a day, he wants both of them to enjoy it to the fullest.

Mihawk would prolly want his lover to be morally grey. If he kills someone and you get mad at him for it, yall won’t work out. There are exceptions to this, and he can easily change his ways if that’s what his lover coaxed him to do though. But if he retells how he hunted down Don Kreig’s whole pirate fleet because they awoke him from his nap, he can’t have you try to slap him and give him a lecture on how he’s a heartless murderer (bc he is a heartless murderer).

Mihawk is loyal, and it’s a given he would expect that back. No matter how long yall are apart, no one else should satisfy you in the ways a lover should because trust ain’t no one doing that for him.

Someone who loves food, he’s quite a good cook and frequents the Baratie. The Baratie is well accustomed to serving the two of you on your monthly date (oml I should write a blurb abt Sanji tryna make moves on you while Mihawk watches in amusement looking all smitten or smth lmao).

Mihawk would prefer his lover to have a calm rationale. If his lover starts freaking out and screaming over something inconvenient or starts harsh arguments over miscommunications the relationship is doomed to fail.

Someone that is a gossip lol. Read the news and try to theorize why Alabasta was featured twice and the first time it mentioned the Warlord Crocodile’s casino having a river around it bc it’s Alabasta and it hasn’t been raining there in months apparently. Some fun stuff like that haha.

Can i request Dark Chocolate and 20 for Zoro?

And Happy Valentines Day <333

I'm only two requests in and I've already broken my 'keep it under 1k words rule'. If anyone needs me I'm going to be putting on my clown make up for ever thinking I would be able to abide by that.

Yandere Roronoa Zoro x GN!Reader

1.4k words

Prompt:

I wanted to get something that reminded me of you. The problem is that everything reminds me of you.

At first you could explain away a missing item or two as simply forgetfulness on your part, or possibly getting swept away in the day to day chaos of being on the Thousand Sunny. As time went on and more and more things kept disappearing, those explanations seemed increasingly less likely. Someone had to be deliberately taking your belongings. 

What bothered you most was what was missing. Whoever was doing this wasn’t taking anything particularly valuable. You’d even left a wad of berry in your nightstand as a test of sorts, but it didn’t appear to have been so much as touched. They weren’t doing this for the sake of monetary gain.

For whatever reason, they were stealing more… Personal items. Clothes, mostly. Specifically clothing that had been worn like a tank top you’d worked out in or your recently slept in pajamas. It was the missing underwear that particularly disturbed you. That’s what officially escalated this from bizarre to creepy.

The most obvious culprit had been Sanji, but you doubted it was him after your confrontation. You’ve seen how he acts when he’s been caught doing something he isn’t supposed to be doing. He acts like a dog that got caught chewing on a new pair of shoes, and you’re sure that if he had a tail, it would be between his legs whenever Nami yells at him for doing something weird. But when you asked if he had anything to do with your recent bout of theft, he had been outraged. He seemed horrified and furious at the idea of someone stealing such intimate apparel from you and had vowed to pulverize whatever scum would do such a thing.

It could have been an act to throw you off, but that seemed unlikely. The reaction came off as entirely genuine, so you shelved the idea of your missing clothing being his doing. You were going to have to do something nice for him later to make up for the accusation.

With Sanji crossed off your suspects list, it was now empty. You had no idea who else could possibly be doing this to you. At this point, it was just as likely that some stray ferret had made itself at home on the ship and was stealing your clothes to make a nice den for itself. Frankly, that was the best case scenario. Anything outside of a cute, albeit mischievous, animal would be deeply concerning.

Feeling like you had no other option, you concocted a plan. While you were supposed to be training by yourself, you would instead hide in your room and wait for the perpetrator. It was typically after these training sessions that your belongings went missing, so this seemed like your best shot at catching them in the act.

Hiding yourself in your laundry hamper had proven itself to be a bit of a challenge. With how much clothing you were missing, you had to get really strategic in stuffing what was left around you to keep yourself hidden. When you were content with the placement, you lowered the lid of the hamper and waited. You couldn’t see a thing now that it was closed, but it would be easy enough to crack open the lid and peek out if your thief made an appearance. This was far from comfortable, but it was going to have to work. You couldn’t let whoever was stealing your damn underwear get away with it. Though you hoped that they would show up today because you would feel ridiculous if this effort was all in vain.

The sound of footsteps coming down the hall made you perk up. You waited with bated breath to see if they would pass the room or enter it. The steps stop in front of the door, and then the knob rattles as it’s opened. There’s a pause, then someone steps in and closes the door behind them. This has to be the person, but you decide to wait for them to do something incriminating before outing yourself. Given that your worn clothes were a favorite of theirs, they should come right to you so long as you didn’t give yourself away.

This person’s footsteps were heavy, and the sound of metal on metal accompanied their every move, like they had several things on them that kept crashing into each other. It sounded familiar, but you couldn’t narrow down which crew member it was just from that. Lots of them carried various things on them at all times.

Your nightstand’s drawer was opened, and the contents moved around as the intruder looked for who knows what. The drawer was slammed shut, and you can only assume that they didn’t find whatever they wanted in it.

Finally, you could hear them approaching your hamper. Your heart thrummed in your chest as you got ready to chew out whoever had been doing this. Them being caught attempting to rifle through your laundry was the most red-handed way to catch them, there would be no denying it.

The lid is thrown open and you make direct eye contact with…

“Zoro?!”

The swordsman stumbled back in shock, “Shit! What the hell are you doing in there, (Y/N)?!”

“What am I doing?! What the fuck are you doing going through my laundry?!” You scrambled to get out of the basket so you could confront him in a more dignified manner. As soon as you were on your feet you got up in his face, “And more importantly, why have you been stealing my shit?”

To his credit, Zoro at least had the decency to look embarrassed. His face and ears were tinted red and he couldn’t look you in the eye. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, I haven’t stolen anything.”

“Oh, bullshit! My clothes have been going missing left and right, and now I’ve caught you trying to go through my laundry when you thought I was training. Cut the crap and stop lying.” You crossed your arms over your chest and glowered at the man in contempt. How could Zoro of all people do something like this? You felt disgusted. Betrayed, even.

He sighed and dragged his hand down his face. “Alright.” He mustered up the courage to look at you again and hardened his expression. “Maybe I borrowed a couple of things.”

You scoffed, “A couple? I barely have anything left to wear. And why, praytell, have you felt the need to steal my fucking underwear? Why would you possibly want to do that?” You laughed in disbelief, “That’s something that I thought only Sanji would do, but apparently you’re more of a pervert than even him.”

His eye twitched, “Do not compare me to that damn love cook, I’m nothing like him.”

“Yeah, like I said, even HE isn’t this bad. You know what? I’m done talking to you, I don’t even want to look at you right now. I’m going to go tell everyone what you’ve been doing and they can deal with your creepy ass.” You shove past him, no longer wanting to breathe the same air as him.

Before you can make it far, his hand wraps around your wrist and yanks you back. You try to break free but he’s locked onto you like an iron shackle. Zoro pushes you up against the wall, caging you in with his arms and pressing his chest against yours to keep you from squirming away. This is closer than you would have liked to be to him even before this awful reveal. Now it felt suffocating and intimidating.

“Do you want to know why I took what I did? It’s because I wanted to get something that reminded me of you. The problem is that everything reminds me of you.” Zoro ducked his head down, his mouth was right by your ear to ensure that you would hear every word, “I wanted something that smelled like you. Everything kept losing your scent, so I needed to get more.” To emphasize this need, he pressed his nose into your hair and took a deep breath.

You writhed and tried to push him away but he wouldn’t budge. As strong as you were, even you weren’t a match for the strength of Luffy’s right hand man. You were entirely at his mercy, and you had no idea when someone else would come in and be able to help you. If they even could.

Perfect Imperfections - Ominis x fem!Reader

Summary: Ominis asks MC to the Yule Ball. Or at least that was his plan.

Word count: 1.5k

Tags/warnings: she/her pronouns, a little bit of angst, assumed Triwizard Champion MC

A/N: Thank you for all of the love for my first post! I am truly not a writer, but Ominis has been bringing me lots of comfort. Just a little scenario I thought of~ I hope you enjoy!

-------

It was a terrible misunderstanding really.

Upon the end of her fifth year, MC had thought she had seen all the wizarding world had to offer. Magical prowess beyond her wildest dreams, a goblet of flames spitting out perfectly unburnt paper, and friends that seemed to transcend consequence. That is why strolling into the Transfiguration Courtyard as silent snowflakes fell from the sky, she could not understand why the pale hands of a certain Ominis Gaunt were in the hands of a particularly bubbly Anne Sallow.

It was not as if Ominis and MC were officially courting, but MC had thought after what had happened in their fifth year, they truly had a chance to become friends in their sixth and seemingly more in their seventh.

In her unoccupied hand, Anne held a beautiful bouquet of white roses and snowdrops, sprinkled with opulent green ferns and frosted holly berries. The perfect bouquet to ask someone to the Yule Ball with and with sudden clarity, it all made sense. Ominis had invited Anne to the Ball and not herself. Of course, nothing could triumph a childhood love, especially not after going through extreme measures to find a cure for Anne. MC knew Ominis had cared deeply for Anne throughout their search, but she felt embarrassed by her own ignorance realizing his care was out of love for the Sallow twin. 

With the sight of the bouquet blurring, MC continued hastily through the courtyard into the Defence Against the Dark Arts Tower, hoping no one could see the tears that welled in her eyes.

-------

“Bombarda!” a barrel explodes into splinters.

“Confringo!” a suit of armour topples to the ground.

How could she have been so blind? So selfish? While her feelings for the Gaunt boy had blossomed, it did not mean his feelings had done the same. Frustrated between being happy for her friends and heartbroken, MC lashed out spell after spell, aiming at particularly nowhere. The Undercroft was alight with flashes of colours as if someone had set off fireworks. She should be happy for them. Both were such kind souls and had helped each other through thick and thin, but thoughts of how well they matched did not comfort her. Besides, she had bigger things to worry about.

Continuing to bellow out spells, MC did not notice Sebastian had been watching her for some time, unsure of how to stop her. 

Suddenly, the gates of the Undercroft were once again creaking open, but MC’s shouts deafened her senses.

“MC?” called out Ominis.

“She’s been at it for centuries,” Sebastian remarks. “I can’t seem to get her to calm down.”

“What did you do?”

“Why do you always assume it was me?”

“Because it is always you, Sebastian,” Ominis grunts, “if it was not you, then what happened?”

“That… is a fair point,” Sebastian admits in defeat. “I’m not sure, I just know she has been like this since I got here. Practicing for the next challenge maybe? You can give it a go, but I’m going to find somewhere else to read. Good luck.”

The room felt a lot emptier since Ominis had last been there. Hearing Sebastian’s footsteps fade up the stairs, Ominis could also hear just how sharply the spells echoed off of the Undercroft’s stone walls. As if none of the crates and barrels he knew to be placed there existed at all. 

“I’m sorry love,” he whispers, directing his wand to the voice of MC. “Arresto momentum.”

Time suddenly stops for MC and her mouth fails to produce another coherent word.

“Reparo!”

The shattered state of the Undercroft begins to repair itself as Ominis carefully strolls over to MC, bringing down her arms and tucking her body into his chest. He could feel her wet tears seep through his wool jumper. Just how much had she been crying?

“What did you do?” the voice of Anne Sallow shrieks.

“Again, why does everyone always assume it was me!” Sebastian retaliates as the twins reappear at the base of the Undercroft.

Slightly embarrassed his childhood friends might have seen him holding their mutual friend quite intimately, Ominis jumps away, a blush rising to his ears. 

Seeing the tears falling down her best friend’s face, Anne rushes over to MC, bouquet forgotten on the floor, ready to embrace her. “What did my oaf of a brother do this time?”

Suddenly processing the other people present in the Undercroft, MC wipes her tears and tries to compose herself. “I’m sorry I didn’t see you come in! Don’t worry, Sebastian didn’t do anything… this time… that I know of...”

“Hey-” Sebastian starts.

“Never mind him then. My brother said you were crying as he was coming out of the Undercroft. Is everything okay, MC?”

“Yes, no worries! I’m sorry for worrying you! I was just, erm, worried about the upcoming challenge? Lots to practice I’m afraid”

“That’s bullocks,” Sebastian scoffs, “the Second Task isn’t for another two months! You’ll be fine.”

“Well, something must be on your mind,” Anne says, voice laced with concern.

“Maybe it’s just the Triwizard Tournament in general! There’s so much going on! Seriously, Anne, I’m fitter than a Fwooper! I just came from Professor Weasley’s office and I suppose the pressure really got to me,” MC forces a smile, eyes dropping to the fallen bouquet that lay near Ominis’ feet. “Besides, we have the holidays and the Ball to look forward to! We still have to go shopping for your dress, Anne! Even if our dear friend can’t see how stunning you will look, I think it will still be nice to dress up,” she continues to ramble on, gaze unmoving from the bouquet.

Slowly putting together the puzzle pieces, Anne gasps and steps back from MC in shock. Looking at the fallen bouquet, the Gaunt boy’s red ears, then her friend’s tear-stained face, she realizes MC must have seen her and Ominis in the courtyard on her way to the Undercroft. It really was a terrible misunderstanding.

“You, Gaunt, have some fixing to do,” pointing at the poor boy despite his lack of sight. She huffs over, picking up and shoving the bouquet into his arms.

“What did I do?” he pleads, genuinely concerned.

“Yeah! Why do you always assume it’s us?” Sebastian cries out again.

“Boys…” Anne mutters, dragging her brother back up the stairs past the gate. “I think you have something important to address.”

And with a final grit of her teeth, the Sallow twins disappear back into the tower, leaving a baffled MC and an even more confused Ominis.

Feeling the leaves of the once pristine bouquet tickle his chin, Ominis searches his mind for any reason Anne would ruin the surprise he had prepared.

“That really is a lovely bouquet. Anne is very lucky,” MC breaks the silence.

Oh… Oh! Cursing under his breath, Ominis finally understands what Anne had meant. Oh, this was not going according to plan at all.

Eyes opened wide and stammering over his words, Ominis speaks, “No! No, you are mistaken! These aren’t for Anne! Why would I give such a thing to Anne? A bouquet? That’s ridiculous. Not that bouquets are ridiculous or that I wouldn’t give anything to Anne..” Taking a deep breath, he finishes, “This was meant for you.”

Slightly shocked, MC starts, “But I saw you and Anne in the courtyard and I thought–”

“These were meant for you! I mean, these are for you, love.”

“I don’t think I’m quite following.”

Ominis approaches her carefully, reaching out for her hands and gently placing the bouquet in them. “I am asking you if I could have the honour of accompanying you to the Yule Ball.”

MC’s jaw drops in shock. Too stunned to say anything.

“That is if you are not already going with someone. I know it is rather late of me to ask, but I had this whole thing planned where I was going to–”

Then suddenly his words are cut off by the feeling of lips pressed against his. It is short and it is sweet. It is clumsy but evidently full of love. Everything a first kiss could ever be.

Breaking the contact, MC steps back, clutching the bouquet in her arms. “Wow, what a mess and a fool I am… I didn’t think you were going to ask. I would love that very much, Ominis.”

Smiling and reaching out to place his hands on top of MC’s, Ominis chuckles, “What a mess indeed. I apologize for all of the trouble I have caused. Anne actually was the one helping me pick out the flowers for you. I wanted them to be even a fraction as beautiful as you are, little dove.”

“They are perfect.”

“Not as perfect as you.”

-------

Bonus:

“OH! I UNDERSTAND NOW!” Sebastian shouts. “That sly dog! Took him long enough.”

“Boys…” Anne grumbles again, but holds back a smile as she watches Ominis and MC hand in hand walking across the courtyard where just moments before everything went astray.

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down~

Sul sul! Welcome to my tiny corner of Simblr, thank you for stopping by my blog c: My name is Tiger (or Rain, either is fine) and I've been playing the Sims for a long time. I created Rain Must Fall as my attempt at the Super Sim & 100% completion challenge - that is, to complete EVERYTHING this game has to offer.

In doing so, I started a couple other saves (Project Pisces & DovahSims) because I didn't think those achievements could be completed in my main save (or they would be a pain to do lol) There's also loads of challenges and scenarios I want to complete, and short stories I want to write.

Originally, I was posting on my WordPress of the same name. No one read my stuff but that was fine - I was posting it as an archive for myself. However, WordPress has a media limit (unless you pay to upgrade) and I found myself quickly maxing it out. I wasn't sure where else to go, so I came to tumblr! I hope you enjoy my sims and their silly little lives ♡

To block all of my non-sims posts, you can block the tag #Not sims. Also, I cuss like a sailor lol My asks are always open but please don't send me asks for money. I will assume you're a bot because you didn't bother to read this before messaging me and you will be blocked.

I wanted to make a new info post because the old one was before I came here to simblr (it was from my wordpress) c:

NSB (Straud Legacy) Gen 9

Today's (7/17/2024) Episode: Homecoming

Noemi finished her recovery and returned to the household just in time to celebrate Skye becoming an infant.

She was overjoyed to see her bouncing bundle of joy once more, especially now that he was so much livelier than the mewling babe she’d birthed.

Little Skye immediately showed himself to be a cautious baby – looking around anxiously from the spot where he’d landed on the floor.

Only once daddy Luigi picked him up and gave him some loving snuggles did the littlest Lawbourne settle down. Luigi’s lurking resentment from Skye’s unexpected and sneakily problematic birth was finally washed away now that he was happily reunited with the mother of this tiny adorable sim.

Fatherhood hadn’t started out easy for him, but he hoped it would keep getting better as he continued to work on finding the joy in the experience.

Just because Luigi had made another stride towards overcoming his difficult feelings about fatherhood didn’t mean he wanted another child!

Noemi had been told by the doctors that she was at high risk of encountering delivery complications again in the future, and Luigi wasn’t keen to risk her (or his own!) health by having either of them get pregnant any time soon. The couple discussed their options before her next checkup.

In the end they decided to ask the clinic for a different type of IUD than the one whose failure had brought them Skye. This one should prevent pregnancy for many years, though Noemi still intended to make sure Luigi used protection every time as well.

 After all, when the worst-case scenario was unplanned life AND unexpected death, you could certainly never be too careful!

Ruthari #7 for the prompt? 👀

Ship + kiss writing challenge

7: A kiss to shut up

When the two elves were heading back to their sleepy village, the horizon was glowing with pinks and violets of the incoming sunrise. They’d been out all night, watching Moonstriders on a secluded clearing by the waterfall and strolling through the Moonshadow Forest trembling with the magic of the Spring Equinox. 

Ever since they’d left the clearing, Ethari was silent, so silent that Runaan, the least talkative elf in Silvergrove, was starting to panic and making up the worst scenarios. He’d asked the young metalsmith for a hangout a few days ago when Lain had literally pushed him inside the forge and demanded that he finally asked Ethari out and quit his endless pining. Runaan would never dare to call it a date, let alone say it out loud. And certainly, he would never expect that Ethari would agree to hang out with him. 

In his head, Runaan thought that Ethari hated their hangout and would rather keep quiet about it than make Runaan sad. He should’ve planned this hangout better. Shadows, he didn’t even know if Ethari liked Moonstriders in the first place! Runaan should’ve known that not everyone was obsessed with Moonstriders as much as he was because regular elves were not necessarily interested in details of their behavior, when and where they migrated during the year, or how their age could be estimated by the slight differences in the color of their feathers–

“Runaan?” Ethari’s gentle voice struck him out of his thoughts. He rapidly turned his head towards the metalsmith, afraid that on top of everything, he'd upset Ethari by ignoring him. Instead, he saw Ethari smiling at him in a way that made his heart skip a beat every time.

"I was asking if you think they're going to be there next week too?" Ethari asked, continuing to walk leisurely next to Runaan.

"Y-yes, they should be there until mid-May," Runaan mumbled in response.

"I see," Ethari nodded before the silence fell between them again. Runaan couldn't bear it. He stopped and so did the other elf.

"Ethari, I… Please don't have to pretend you're enjoying this," Runaan stuttered. "I know you agreed to come only because you're too kind to refuse,"

"Runaan, I'm not pretending!" Ethari instantly protested but Runaan was too caught up in spilling his thoughts.

"I know that I can be annoying, t-that I don't usually talk, and when I do I mostly talk about Moonstriders or combat. And I know I don't always get the jokes you and Lain tell me," 

"Runaan…" 

"A-and even though I know you're the kindest elf in Silvergrove, I didn't expect you to agree to come to hang out with me like that, a-and you asked me if I know someplace special and this was the only— mmh!" Runaan was not allowed to finish his sentence when Ethari cradled his face in his hands and pressed their lips together. 

Just like that, the whole world around them went still. Runaan froze, too stunned to react when Ethari's soft lips kept moving against his own, and it felt nowhere near the way Runaan had pictured it in countless of his dreams. It felt even better, warmer, and sweeter than Moonberry Surprise and Runaan wished their kiss would never end.

In the end, Ethari pulled away from him but didn't let go of Runaan's face. He was looking at him with those deep brown orbs and Runaan had to remind himself how to breathe again when Ethari chuckled and shook his head with eyes closed. 

"Now that you finally shut up, listen to me," Ethari laughed, slowly stroking Runaan's cheekbones with his thumbs. "I loved our hangout, every second of it. I love when you tell me about Moonstriders, how your eyes light up whenever you do," Ethari spoke and Runaan could swear that if it wasn't for the rising sun blinding him from behind the trees, he would think that he'd eaten poisonous berries and was now hallucinating. 

"You're not annoying in the slightest. Even when you're not talking, you're a wonderful listener and it made me so happy when you invited me to come with you tonight. It was amazing and I was hoping we could do that again."

"E-eee…" Runaan tried to say something but it seemed like Ethari had temporarily taken away his ability to form coherent sentences. Ethari was practically grinning with delight now, his smile brighter than the sun before his eyes. 

"I take it as a 'yes' " Ethari whispered before he pulled Runaan's face closer once again, sealing their arrangement with a kiss.

Hey I was wondering (it's ok if you don't write for this) of you could do a male reader x Beth Greene or if you won't do that Michonne x Male reader.

And if you have time come read some of my stuff and give me some tips and tricks! Thank you!

𝐒𝐢𝐜𝐤~

genre: fluff pairing: Beth Greene x m!reader summary: Reader gets sick during the prison era and Beth visits them in their cell. warnings: sickness?

Hershel walks out of the cell Y/N was staying, Hershel had just finished giving Y/N a remedy he made out of berries.

Y/N laid still in bed with a wet rag over his forehead. His cheeks flushed from the fever and his half-open eyes from the tiredness. But no matter how sick he felt, he couldn’t stop but think about Beth.

He wondered if she was okay or if she had gotten sick as well. Just as he thought of how much he missed her, she walked in.

“Y/N,” she softly said, standing on the doorway. Y/N smiled at the sight of her, she smile back.

“Beth, are you okay?” He finally asked in a whisper, Beth nodded and sat on the bed besides him.

“Are you okay?” She asked, moving the rag and placing her hand on his forehead. Y/N just sighed, “I’m fine, just tired.”

Beth leans down and kisses his burning forehead. “Y’know, I couldn’t stop thinking about you.” Y/N mumbles tiredly. “I’ve really missed you. A lot.”

Beth smiles at hearing this, “Really?” She questions him raising a brow, “You’ve missed me?”

Y/N chuckles but stops as he starts to cough.

Beth gets up and grabs the cup with Hershel’s homemade remedy. She helps Y/N lift his head up and puts the cup to his lips.

“Here,” she whispers gently as Y/N begins drinking from the cup.

Once Y/N is done drinking, Beth carefully moves the cup and puts it back. “You okay?”

Y/N nods slowly, closing his eyes. Beth smiles worriedly as she runs her fingers through Y/N’s hair.

She sighs.

“Don’t worry, I’ll fine Beth. I just need to rest, that’s all,” he tries comforting Beth. “I know that. Heal quickly for me, will you.” She tells him, still stroking his hair.

“I will…” He mutters before falling deep in his sleep. Beth looks at him once again. She loves Y/N so much, she just hopes he get better soon.

She leans down to peck his lips before she too, closes her eyes, relaxing at the sound of his peaceful breathing.

A/n: i‘ve been too busy but here is one of the requests. i’m still working on the other requests, so stay tune for it. btw, first time writing an m!reader x Beth Greene, it was a bit difficult coming up with a scenario for this request, but the challenge was accepted and done! I hope you guys enjoyed it!!

Blog Post #1

Describe your current relationship with nature. How has this developed/evolved? Who offered you “a sense of place,” as described in our textbook?

If I had to name all the things in life I was most grateful for, nature would be at the top of my list. It truly is one of the most beautiful and amazing gifts that our planet has ever received. Not only is it the reason humans have sustained for this long, but it is also home to some of the most amazing creatures, plants, and foods that we all love.

See to me, nature is my hideaway, my safe place where I feel like there is zero judgment and true peace. Away from all the loudness and negativity this world might often feel like, in nature, there is no true sadness or cruelness, only serenity. Whether I’m on a treacherous hike or simply just on a peaceful walk taking in nature, I can always find silence in a world that is constantly so loud and often scary.

One of my favourite moments this summer was getting the opportunity to travel to 24 cities in Europe for my summer exchange program. I had taken a month prior to my studies to explore countries like Portugal, Italy, and Greece, and let me tell you, walking around in Europe is not for the weak. A scenario that comes to mind immediately is when I was in a small town called Sintra, Portugal, and we had a mere 40-minute walk; which in retrospect doesn’t sound too bad. But in Portugal, any walk means a treacherous 90-degree hike since the whole country is built on an incline! So we walked up a hill at almost an 80-degree angle for 40 minutes straight realizing that we had only made it halfway! Fortunately, I had prepared for hikes like this so I was leading my group trying to boost team morale to make it to the top, where we finally (a whole hour and a half later) arrived at our destination; Pena Palace in Sintra! Through the many mental challenges that myself and my group might have encountered, the one thing that truly kept me going during this specific hike was getting to see the amazing diversity of plants that Portugal had to offer!

My regularly scheduled summer daily walks through nature also feel like a fun challenge. I love a good game of iSpy, so when I walk through my local forest my favourite thing to do is try and identify all of my favourite plants, maybe even snack on an edible berry or two. I often log all the plants I spot on my daily walk in an app called PictureThis (which I highly recommend to anyone interested in snacking on their walks). But overall it just feels like a fun scavenger hunt seeing new plants come and go as the seasons change.

The concept of a "sense of place," as described in our textbook refers to a person's deep emotional or spiritual connection to a certain area or natural environment. It is the feeling of belonging, attachment, and identity tied to a particular place, often felt by personal experiences, history, and the natural or social features of that place. To me, I believe I have a deep 'sense of place' within nature, as it provides a sanctity for me like no other. On top of being just a place of peace, it has also been a place for me to disconnect, think, and better myself overall. I would definitely go as far to say that it's indefinitely been an enormous place of growth for myself as a person.

misc lore drop day 32/?

Thought I’d do something a bit different from my usual posts, and instead make up a silly list instead of writing. 

Various things vettonso do as bonding activities in boy king AU, and how annoying they are about it:

Picking berries together except they start competing over who can get more, which ends up into them basically jumping into bushes, tearing up their clothes and skin in the process

Having impromptu races on their horses, accusing each other of cheating in the process by saying “well your horse is superior, so duh you won, not legitimately of course.”

Challenging each other to jump over logs on their horses, nearly killing themselves in the process after they both keep upping the ante

Trying to shoot at the same target while on hunting trips, nearly shooting each other in the process because they insist on not standing next to each other, so the other can’t cheat.

Competitively flirting during carriage rides, making it extremely uncomfortable for everyone else inside

Making each other try bites of food, insisting their taste is better than the other, resulting in getting sick from eating too much

Daring each other to eat things from outside, causing their aides to panic over possible poisoning

Arguing, sorry I mean having a pleasant conversation, over literally everything

Playing card games, chess, etc. but debating over the rules and each other’s actions so much that they only get to play like one game a night because it takes too long.

Exhbitionism. Ye olde gay chicken, except they are married.

Many other things. 

But don’t worry, despite all the near deaths, injuries, and arguing, they prove to each other how far they’re willing to go, thus earning respect and desire in the process. It's so funny imagining them getting into all these near death scenarios, despite being the most pampered, protected, golden boys ever. They're both pretty wild on their own, but together, it's so much worse. It's not just one of them threatening to do something crazy, and their aide having to be like "my liege, please no." Instead now it's two equally insane people egging each other on, and they only have eyes for each other.

Do you think Rachel would or has struggled with her sexuality? If we read her friendships with Quinn and Santana, or example, as driven in part by some level of romantic or sexual attraction, do you think this would be challenging for Rachel to parse, or a point of tension? Or does she just never explore it in canon because the opportunity is never there?

Imma put canon aside for a second be she's simply just not canonically queer but it's SUPER fun to think about a better show where she was so, yeah. Rachel's bi as far as my version of Glee is concerned.

In terms of how I see that going down, two ways. One more comedic and one more dramatic, depending on which side of the bed Glee would have woken up that morning. The more comedic version would have her behave similarly to how she did in Blame It On the Alcohol. That is, she'd view newfound feelings of queerness as a great opportunity for artistic expansion and would be a little over the top and silly about it. So, say, Rachel realizes, preferably when she isn't currently dating Finn, that oh shit, maybe she's attracted to Quinn, too. And because she's Rachel she'd go all in and be very grand gesture about it because yolo and push! Push your feelings away, they're that big! She wouldn't feel conflicted about the queerness of it all for long because, given her dads, she's always always been comfortable thinking outside of heteronormativity. If anything, she's a little relieved and very pretentious about it because now she's not only an ally but bisexual herself! And she does not shut up about it for a while. Very out and proud, but also treating it as a very natural thing because to her it is. Also idk why I used Faberry in this hypothetical when I've actually read a REALLY good Pezberry fic that handles Rachel in a similar way to what I would imagine. Please read that fic, I'm still hoping it will get finished one day.

The more dramatic approach would be to have Rachel struggle a little bit with the realization. And that would be understandable as the two most obvious candidates for her to realize her queerness with are Quinn and Santana, both tumultuous and complicated relationships. I kinda feel like it being Quinntana would be more of a point of tension for Rachel than just bisexuality itself. Because, say, in a version of Glee where Rachel develops feelings for Mercedes I really don't see those feelings posing a challenge, as such. Not the queer aspect of it. Rachel Berry is a lot of things and a staunch ally from day one is one of them, even if she is misguided on occasion. So realizing that she herself is queer wouldn't cause a crisis of identity nearly as much as it would for other chs (cough Quinn cough).

In terms of Faberry and/or Pezberry, however, there's angst potential. Say, Rachel realizes just as the Pezberry feud is happening that oh, no! Not only is Santana hot, which is something Rachel's always known, but she's hot in a way Rachel's very attracted to and now that they're fighting she realizes she's missing Santana as more than a friend. And that would be challenging to parse because I think she'd feel like she's not supposed to like Santana and would somehow project that onto the whole idea of Sapphic tendencies. And it would make her reevaluate the complex dynamic she had with Quinn, too. Additionally, this coming just after Finn's passing, too, would make Rachel feel like she just doesn't know herself and what she wants. So I think grappling with her own queer identity would make her spiral in that way but even in such a scenario the root cause of any tension wouldn't actually be her sexuality. It's just the specific circumstances, you know. Why her, and all that.

That said I don't think that it would always cause Rachel to spiral a bit, like I said this is the more dramatic version of events. I think, ultimately, that I just have to approach this as a matter of what could have happened in an alternate timeline because as fruity as I read Faberry and Pezberry, any sort of romantic and/or sexual feelings on Rachel's part are not canon. So like, that's why it's never explored in canon. But even if we don't totally rewrite things and instead just pretend those feelings were there and Rachel grappled with them at some point, I think the queerness of it all still wouldn't be a big deal to her. If Rachel were to realize in retrospect that at least some of her relationship to Quinn and Santana was motivated by those sexual/romantic feelings she'd quickly come to terms with bisexuality and just go "oh okay, cool!" Given that those feelings were in the past and/or not possible to act on, such as her looking back on it when married to Jesse.

So I hope that answers your question; this is fun for me to think about because the Fapezberry triangle is delicious. Even though we don't have canon queer Rachel, adding her to the mix just makes things even more interesting.

The Sims Mega-Legacy

The Sims has been my go-to guilty pleasure since I was a little girl and the first game came out. I remember begging for the expansion packs for my birthday or Christmas, and setting a timer to take turns with my sister and always trying to sneak a few extra minutes.

Decades later, I’m still playing. I don’t have to take turns with my sister anymore, and I don’t spend all my free time meticulously controlling my Sims’ lives anymore. But I still love the game.

But that’s the thing - I’ve always meticulously played out all of the details of my Sims’ lives, but I always picked the same things. I almost always started with a single YA female, who almost always enjoyed gardening and painting. She almost always got a job as a writer or painter or educator, and she almost always married (or at least had a relationship) with Thorne Bailey or Akira Kibo. She always had just one or two kids, and the kids were always A students who had earned all the Top Notch traits. I’d abandon the family after 2 or 3 generations, always starting over with a new file and vowing to switch it up this time, but I’d do the same thing within a few in-game weeks. I got bored, but I was stuck in a rut.

I was determined to love the game like I did when I was a kid again, even just for a little bit.

I discovered mods and started having fun exploring the game again. MCCC became my new obsession, and I slowly branched out (but still have so many more I’d like to try!). I was thrilled when I discovered instructions on how to download Sims from the Gallery and have MCCC populate them into my game! It always made me chuckle a bit to be out in town and run into Patrick Dempsey, or Hasan Piker, or Mr. Bean. I started a Not-So-Berry Challenge and had a lot of fun with that, but I felt like I wasn’t utilizing all of the packs and wanted to really do some things I hadn’t done in-game before.

So I started thinking - what were my biggest complaints about how I was playing the game recently? I came up with three main issues:

I was stuck in a perpetual Same-Sim Syndrome cycle. I didn’t play with mean Sims, or elder Sims, or big families. I didn’t pay attention to the household descriptions of the premade Sims, so the lack of storyline gameplay was even more amplified.

I felt rushed to complete the goal, whether it be Aspiration or work or relationship. Not every kid is an A student, not every adult makes it to the top of their career, and not every relationship lasts forever. Why was I forcing that standard on my Sims? In a game that’s supposed to be fun?

I lost attention and interest when playing the same family for a while, but felt nervous to play another family in the same file in case things were messed up when I came back. I was micromanaging the fun out of it.

I thought of a few things to try to spice up the game, like trying to find another updated legacy challenge to play, or finding a kind of scenario spinner. I decided to play a scenario on a new file to try it out, and then I saw a TikTok of someone showing off their family tree, which they’d created using an external app. That caught my attention, and I abandoned my search for a new gameplay style to go meticulously record my Sims on a family tree. It was fun going through and organizing everything, and seeing the connections, but I was annoyed that I couldn’t go back far enough in-game to grab family tree info about my Sims’ ancestors.

So I - you guessed it - started a new save file. I threw together my standard Single YA Female and moved her into a house, but I didn’t play her. I immediately started going through each household in the game to record the family members in my family tree app. I decided I would just record what happened (via Neighborhood Stories/MCCC Population Notifications) in the family tree while I focused on my family; I was interested to see how long it would take for all the tiny family groups (and yes, I included single unrelated sims!) to eventually be able to be found on one another’s family tree branches.

I was about two thirds of the way through my third day of recording Sim family tree info. My project had expanded exponentially; I’d taken some time to build a handy spreadsheet to track Sim data and assign a “birthday” to each Sim, once I’d decided that 1. It was annoying leaving that field blank in the app, and 2. It was annoying that a Young Adult Day 0 could have a teenaged child, when with my lifespan settings that would mean they were Child aged … it creeped me out once I realized and I couldn’t ignore it! That meant I had to assign the age to each Sim, and when I was doing that, I realized I had an MCCC setting on that moved out non-ancestral elders into “group homes”, and I wanted to fix it. I had to look up some Sims on the Wiki to make sure I was placing them back into the right household, and then I found it.

The lore.

(Quick pause - my phone autocorrected that to “the lord”, and I lost it - imagine reading this far, only for me to have been setting up some insane segue into proselytizing?!)

The lore, you guys. I knew it existed but never played with townies, so I never looked it up. I’ve been missing out! I know the Sims 4 storytelling system is trash, but imagining some of the connections with the old Sims 2 storytelling system is my new fixation.

I’m gonna try to do it myself.

I get bored playing one type of Sim family - why not play EVERY household? I always pick the same careers and aspirations, so why not just have a premade Sim with a pre-destined path to play through some stuff I’ve never done? I never play with all the features of all the expansions I have (which is everything except Batuu), because I feel like I’m wasting time my Sim should be focused on completing a task, so why not take that pressure away?

I’m gonna play the whole file. I’m not going to have “my” Sim and the others, I’m going to play all of the families. I’m going to read the household descriptions, read the Wiki to learn the lore, and I’m going to let the story lead me.

I’m sure this isn’t a novel idea, but it’s something I’ve never attempted. I’m excited to start, but I’m still setting up my save file, adjusting for realistic ages and adding family connections that don’t exist in-game, but that exist in the Sims canon universe (and some that don’t!). Since I’m tracking the data anyway, I’m thinking I’ll share my data here. I hope someone besides me finds this interesting - I’m planning to share family tree data, Sim statistics, new and existing “lore”, and maybe some gameplay updates.

My first post will be a walkthrough of the Sims that I added to my file so that I could make the appropriate canon family connections. I hope you have fun following along!

Felt like sharing some favorite photos of my main sims this year:

June Yamamoto, My Perfect Life Challenge

Iggy Pancakes, Globetrotter Challenge

Julianna Shaffer (daughter of Iggy), Expansion Berry Legacy Gen 1

Bianca Shaffer, Expansion Berry Legacy Gen 2

Fern Shaffer, Expansion Berry Legacy Gen 3

Iggy Pancakes (yes again), Batuu and Iggy's Making Money scenario

Tiana Pancakes (another daughter of Iggy), Tiana the Wolf Gameplay

Ciara Akuma, BabblingLegacy Gen 11

Laia Akbar, Felicity McGuire, Jazz Davis, Iggy Pancakes, Ari Park, Teenage Kicks Gameplay

Anna Deaton, Aliens Stole My Parents scenario and Anna's Vagabond Challenge (fun fact: Anna was a combo of Laia Akbar & Jazz Davis genetics, for no reason other than they were my favorites from the Teenage Kicks challenge.)

Julissa Visser, Julissa the Unlucky Chef scenario

Yvette Deaton, Yvette's Wandering Life Challenge

I had a lot of fun this year with Sims, I really enjoyed creating stories around the challenges. And that's really the whole point of this, isn't it? I loved each & every one of these OCs - looking back, it makes me want to finish some of the abandoned gameplays.

And yes, I've played with Iggy as a main sim in a total of 5 different saves (he started as June's best friend/husband in My Perfect Life and I didn't bother posting Iggy's Frogs Scenario, since it was one post). Apparently, he's my muse? But the photo above from Globetrotter is my absolute favorite, because he's so over it. And he's forever my blog header because that's my other favorite photo.
