Birb Gang

So I plan to one day make an animated series called Birb Gang based around a group of birds where the story presents it being a silly show but slowly devolves into discussing topics not usually tred on/given the light of day in media. I wish to discuss topics of people's varied experiences with mental health, how anyone can have it, it doesn't just have to be a traumatic backstory to discuss mental health, how people deal with discrimination in other forms such as disabilities or close gated communities, stuff like that

The main reason is because I for years and still sometimes feel like my personal problems aren't important because they aren't rooted in traumatic experiences like others. I wish to show that anyone can have mental health issues no matter what.

Side note, the first 4 where drawn in December so they are a tad bit old but I just drew Pelican and Peacock. The introduction of names is a new thing because I never intended to give them actual names so I've decided that their bird names are code-names, like TF2

There is way more btw

And I also wish to discuss revenge, how people deal with traumatic grief and show how getting revenge on people won't leave you fullfilled by the end of it all

lore dump bc i said so pt.1

( my oc for apocalypse btw ) ( this is all over the place whoops)

character sheet:

name: Blaire Williams

Height: 5'7

Age: 19

Favorite color : pink and green

favorite food: Carne asada

Skills: riding ( jumping and cross country), painting

Hobbies: listening to music, painting, riding, gardening/druidism, hiking

Zodiac sign: Leo

Think this was already mentioned in the first few chapters, but Blaire grew up with a rich family, much like sabine did. Blaire Williams was born in Vermont,USA, so she is technically american, but that's not her ethnicity. somewhere, her mom was jorvikian mostly, and her dad was italian-american.

Her parents had very time consuming jobs, and they were more focused on getting to the top of their careers and getting as much money as they could, in turn neglecting blare as a child leaving her with a babysitter, one of the best so they could brag, and mainly left blaire to herself. she was an only child.

as blaire grew into a preteen, she still looked up to her parents, she craved their validation. so, she became, or at least tried, to become like them. snobby, prickish, you know the whole lot. she went to one of the best private schools, wherever they were.

The Williams family moved often. most times for huge job offers. the lived in vermont for a year. then they lived in spain until blaire was 5, moving to italy. blaire lived there until 8, when they moved to england. the lived in england the longest, but they moved all around england, for better areas. eventually blaire and her family were living off the coast. in a multimillion dollar mansion. blaire was enrolled in one of the top english private schools.

blaire found an interest in horses relatively early in life. she was definitely a horse girl for a while, decorating her whole room with horse related things. when she was 13, she was gifted a Shetland pony, by her grandparents.

When she was 14, she was enrolled in a riding school, and quickly worked to become one of the best riders there. she wanted to impress her parents, show them she was one of them. she collected two more horses, an arabian and a thoroughbred.

When Blaire was 16, she was at the top of her riding class for school, having won many medals and awards for her sport. but her parents were still not quite impressed. the summer of her 17th birthday, she was sent off to jorvik, for their summer riding camp. after the summer was over, blaire decided to stay in jorvik and finished high school through online classes.

Because blaire was so desperate for her parent validation, she eventually became kind of one of them. she was a major bitch. she was the high school bullies you saw in the movies. she was kinda like paris, (if you've ever watched gilmore girls yk whats up). she strived for perfection, and broke down in the privacy in her room when she didn't get her expectations to the dot.

But anyway, she was more mean spirited person when she moved to jorvik at 16. she didn't like it there. she had to leave her horses, all because her parents didn't want her in their house over the summer for their own things. so basically she was a bitch to everyone most of the time. she was okay with justin, only because she introduced her to her now starbreed, diamond. again, i think this is in one of the chapters, but diamond is based off a horse i have in game. shes an andalusian, more specifically a perlino andalusian. like in canon they bonded very quickly and was some of her only happiness. while she was a bitch for a while in jorvik, after helping with saving moorland, and liking it, she made a promise to herself and became a nice person again. not because she wanted to fit in with all the personalities, but because she was honestly sick of being someone who caused hurt undeservingly. but she is more than willing to bring back the mean side of her who deserve it, especially when she starting interacting with dark riders and sabine.

Blaire is sweet and loving, but also sassy and can get fiery when she wants. she is a loyal person.

behold. hands.

[domoluvu]

Sometimes I want to hold you close and never let you falter.

Other times I want to hold afar where the only thing keeping you safe is my sight alone.

And yet, I want to leave you dangling by my fingertips as you cry to lift you up into my cold embrace.

I care, I do so much.

I want to keep you close by my side.

But I know you'd be safer for away where I can't hurt you.

For if you're close, I'll only risk your life for something that can't always love you as you should.

I care I do, and yet I still want you.

I'm selfish, I'm crazed, I'm mad, and insane.

I want you close but you deserve a life without me in it. After all I already hurt you once, and I can't promise I won't do it again. Keeping you by my side as I drift off from sanity clinging to you more than you cling to me.

You must flee, while I still retain my sanity as I care more for you than I do me.

Happy #ArtMonday, everyone!

Today, I'm thrilled to share the story behind a logo I completed two weeks ago. It all began during a creative session while I was working on my "workspace" piece, listening to "Making of a Legend" by The Phantoms. The music sparked a surge of inspiration, prompting me to pause and sketch out the initial concept for this logo. You can even catch a glimpse of this moment in the time-lapse of my "workspace" piece on Instagram.

But later that same day, fate dealt a cruel blow. In the midst of my hyperfocus, I accidentally closed the project without saving, losing hours of work. Yet, I managed to salvage fragments of the design—just enough to piece together the essence of the final logo.

Despite the setback, I chose to persevere. Typically, I would shelve such projects indefinitely, but this time, I embraced resilience and dove back into the creative process with renewed determination. And you know what? I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Of course, every journey has its setbacks, and losing the original time-lapse was a bitter pill to swallow. It captured the logo's evolution, each idea unfolding in real-time. Nonetheless, I find solace in the fact that the end result surpasses the previous version in every aspect.

This project also marked my venture into working with vectors—a new frontier promising smoother results for future designs. It's a learning curve, to be sure, but one I'm eager to tackle head-on.

So what is this logo about? It's the symbol of one of my OCs from an original story called "Nexus Connection." Meet Alex, also known as Ikaros in the streaming world. He's not the protagonist, but a vital character nonetheless. Alex is a renowned streamer, celebrated for his gaming prowess and commitment to gender equity in gaming—a central theme in our story.

His pseudonym and logo, inspired by the Greek myth of Icarus, symbolize the dangers of unchecked passion. Just as Icarus flew too close to the sun and fell, Alex's journey serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of obsession. It's a reminder that even our deepest passions can consume us if we're not careful.

Reflecting on my recent setback, losing hours of work to hyperfocus, I'm reminded of the importance of balance in all things. Funny how life imitates art, isn't it?

In essence, this logo embodies resilience, creativity, and the power of embracing imperfection, ultimately leading to growth and improvement.

Speaking about all those things, I also wanted to give you a heads-up. I've been off my focus meds for a few days now due to some health issues, and it's been very challenging. Until I'm in the clear, I can't take them anymore (and there's a possibility I might not be cleared, ever). So because of that, my whole creative process is going to be much slower than usual.

My husband and I are going to stay at my parents' house in the south of France for a week, and I'm going to take this time to get better and try to refocus myself, but it might not be enough.

We'll see how this goes. Take care and see you next Monday.

Kiri + Spider = Soulmates !!!

in another universe where Grace gave birth to a human baby instead and Spider was made artificially in a lab with Paz and Quaritch DNA

will draw them more with this au, their backstory and stuff.!

Kiri is still adopted by the Sully's because she's the daughter of Grace, others used to be wary of her because she's a sky person (and a very small, fragile child) but quickly warmed up to her as Eywa clearly had blessed her

now everyone is wrapped around her little finger<3 i'd say like Spider, she's very tall for a human but incredibly short for a na'vi (Spider is a bit more taller than Lo'ak)

despite being human, she still has a bit of na'vi features; yellow eyes, longer torso/narrow body, and the ability to breath in the air for a short period of time because yknow, we all know the father is Eywa Herself

Spider would probably be adopted too by a na'vi family because he is very much a na'vi that can connect with Eywa and Her creations, and if he wasn't adopted - he would still be raised lovingly, the complete opposite of his counterpart (ouch)

^following that, if he was adopted then his name would be different. Spider could just be his nickname,,,given by Kiri :)) that'd be very cute

i don't think he would fall for Quaritch's fatherly love, maybe because people just don't remind him and he forgot about his orgins or he already has a loving family so?

anyways, please tell me any more ideas or suggestions....would love to hear it !! my inbox is always open thank uuu

(and i forgot spiders necklace:((/

Table and Counter Controller edit has received an update by Picknmix

I have posted an update to this creation, brought to you by the wonderful Whoward from @picknmixsims. Some people were annoyed by the hours originally set by Inge and wanted it to be easier to alter the cut offs the object uses for the four parts of the day. Whoward was kind enough to modify the code to pull from a BCON, so that you can pick what you want with ease! He is allowing me to post that updated version in my original post, to have less versions of the same thing running around and make it less confusing for you all.

I have updated the files in the original post, and I am also including a second version that is set to more realistic meal times based on where I live. I chose to because I know not everyone is comfortable with SimPE, but the whole point of Whoward's update is that it is easy to edit so please make use of it and tune to your liking! :)

If this update sounds interesting to you, you can grab the new files in the orginal post.

When will I be done posting? NEVER! Haha, I told everyone I'm aiming to go to season 3 premiere.

Okay, what's the ultimate twinflame energy between Sydney and Carmy? The shoulder tattoos! I've written a few theories on these tattoos, but I have another one, particularly for season 3.

We need to see the orgin episode of the creation of the shoulder tattoo. Because revealing sydney's tattoo episode 9 and the yet to be revealed carmy's? Oh, there's something here that needs to be explored!

This could give so much opportunity for flashback episodes so we can see how they belong together.

Here's my ultimate wish for a sydcarmy episode. Also, a spoiler on filming locations:

Since some of the filming locations are in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand, there's going to be a flashback episode of Carmy traveling throughout those places, experiencing his own food tour and he gets the tattoo in Thailand. Remember, the tattoo 'certain of nothing' is dedicated to Bourdain, a zen philosphy Bourdain embrace, and who is Carmy's big inspiration. Anthony also had a home in thailand and in parts unknown. He recommended the buddhist practice of giving merits to the monks.

There has to be some philosophy here, this word 'Submit' reminds me of what they say in al-anon. That one must submit to a higher power as part of the healing. He could have possibly already submitted to a higher power before Al anon in the past and somehow reverted back to anxiousness once he took the job in New york, and it's gotten worse since Mikey's death.

Ultimately, my theory is that the travel East is a flashback for Carmy.

My theory with Sydney's tattoo:

She got it during her food tour in New York 2 years ago. There could be a flashback episode of Sydney touring New York and trying Carmy's dish. Unfortunately, there was a situation that led her to get the 3 sword tattoos in NYC. The tattoo serves as a reminder of grief and loss. She also embraces them as a part of life. In a way, she submits to it.

How cool would it be to see a flashback episode around 2-3 years ago where the two of them get shoulder tattoos relating to their own experience in life. Both separate experiences, but like twinflames- they're united through their souls.
