Tomorrow will be leaving and away for the next two weeks,

I'll still be around just slightly lower/slower activity and any replies will be done via mobile.

Of course asks are always open for anything as are IMs (and for those who have it can still reach me via Discord)

The way I am not even a little bit surprised 😂 Denton will probably be surprised and do a rant vlog but meh, that's what happens when you refuse to acknowledge an attractive woman on a show that is about attraction ya idiot!

Episode 5 Part 2- The First Elimination

The time has come for us to say goodbye to two sims. These sims are chosen based on their relationship scores with Penny. The winners of this week were Darius ( @rasoyas ) and Adriel ( @simsmoonie ). The runner up for this week was Raiden ( @riverofjazzsims ). Each of these sims get a "point" so that if it's a close elimination I can just use the points to help me decide. Blaze ( @aniraklova ) and Luca ( @coastalcowplant ) were put in the bottom 4 as a way to light a fire under their butts! Penny is interested but they have to get her attention more. Hopefully they listen next week! Unfortunately, that leaves Cristian ( @rot-robbie29 ) and Denton ( @changingplumbob ) with the lowest friendship score and no relationship score with Penny. So they are being eliminated from the competition. I'm sorry they had to go so soon but I did love having them in game- Penny just didn't give them a chance (and vice versus). Thank you for participating and I hope you're proud of your babies!

i still can't believe that "you should read comic books in the comic book fandom" is somehow some kind of spicy hot take tbh. comics are cool and some of them have my best friend superman in them. and if that's not enough they even have lois lane. what's not clicking

help me escape homelessness and live with my lover!

If you can't help me with donations, reblogs are always appreciated!

Also I have hella bad waiting mode anxiety that is made better by knowing what to expect after what I'm waiting for happens, so if anybody wants to tell me how this process will go, I would greatly appreciate it.

Bonus points if you give me some ideas in the notes of mundane things to do with my wife!

I saw another post criticizing Bruce for having children fighting at his side, and I must say: tell me you don't know shit about the batkids' stories without telling me. Bruce fucking tried to stop those kids from being vigilantes, but they keep doing it behind his back, so he decided the best thing to do was to give them the proper training, an armor and to have them stick at his side so he can watch over them. You know, like a parent telling their underage children that they can drink alcohol but only at home where they can watch over them.

Dick became Robin because he wanted revenge over his parents' murder. He would run out in the street of Gotham as a 8 years old, all alone, to go fight Zucco. Bruce helping him make Robin was the compromise to keep Dick safe, because the child would not listen. (And yes, it wasn't the case in the very first canon, but it was like the 40s. Do you know how many kids fought against the Nazis in Europe at that time???)

Barbara Gordon is not his daughter and he has no authority on her being a vigilante. He cannot even ground her.

Jason became Robin after helping Bruce take down Ma Gunn's school. It is implied by Bruce, while talking to Dick, that he offered Robin to Jason as a way to gain a child because he missed having Dick around. He didn't need a Robin, he just missed having a kid. Bruce used the Robin mantle with Jason like people use churu to appease stray kitten. AND JASON'S DEATH, let's talk about it. Jason ran away, which leads to him being killed, after eavesdropping on Bruce and Alfred talking about Jason's mental health. Jason is benched as Robin, but not because Bruce thinks he killed someone like fandom says, but because Bruce knows it is not helping or healthy for Jason. They are talking about getting him help for his traumas and how violence is not helping Jason. And, when he is older and has healed, they can try again if he wants to. That's why Jason or people saying that Jason died because he was a soldier, or blaming Bruce for Robin's existence is false. When Jason died, Bruce was against Jason being Robin for his own health! And Jason knows that, he heard the discussion, he wasn't bench like how so many of his siblings are, with little to no honest explanation. Jason died in the Robin's costume because of his own stubbornness, not because of Bruce. (And that's not blaming Jason for his death. He is not to blame, but neither is Bruce. It's just about the Robin's colors. Jason would not have been wearing them at the time if he listened to Bruce.)

Tim Drake imposed himself as Robin. Bruce was against it, Tim literally went "Don't care, didn't ask". And Tim was already following them around before. Bruce already have Jason blaming him for making Tim Robin when he had no control over that.

Stephanie Brown became a vigilante before Batman knew her. He has tried SO MANY TIMES to make her stop, and so many fans hate that he did it. Make a choice, is it bad that he didn’t stop her more or that he didn’t let her more be a vigilante? He even got his kids to try to make her stop. AND SHE IS "KILLED" TO TEACH HIM THAT MAKING KIDS VIGILANTES IS BAD WHEN HE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE OF HER BECOMING ONE AND TRIED TO STOP HER! No shit the man blames himself for things that are not his fault, everyone does it.

Cassandra Cain was 17 when she becomes Batgirl, so I don't know if she counts. But when Bruce tries to make her stop for her own health, with the support of Barbara and Alfred, Cass is devastated and doesn't obey him. She puts on her costume and fights him physically.

Damian Wayne was trained as an assassin. In every version of him being introduced to Bruce, Bruce is against making him Robin and Damian keeps sneaking out. Damian wants to prove himself to his father so bad and refused to be kept away from the fight. In the comics, it's Dick, DICK, that makes him Robin when Bruce is gone, because Bruce was against letting Damian out at night.

Conclusion: Bruce is a tired father of a bunch of kids that cannot understand they should stay home at night and not be vigilantes.

Have you missed Carson? I have.

The Yorks can't have all the fun, right? Since his new girlfriend Ariadne is convinced he's the sweetest sim around she's convinced him to sign up for Season 3 of Total Drama Sims by @jonquilyst. He wasn't sure but his best friend Onyx has reminded him if he doesn't he'll likely just end up having to spend time over summer with his least favourite brother at family BBQ's.

So what do you need to know about Carson? First off, family stuff. He is the youngest of four kids, his two older sisters are married with wives and successful careers while his incredibly annoying older brother is dating a werewolf who is bound to propose the minute he finishes university. His dad Harvey may be a simple fisherman but his mum Kayleigh has recently become a Global Superstar with her paintings. To summarise his family is loud and Carson is... less loud?

When he was a kid his biggest worry was reaching the top of scouts, a task he achieved easily. Now that he is a teen he's been hit with his very own avalanche. Don't get me wrong, boy aged up with high self esteem. But he also aged up with asthma... which led to him developing OCD... which led to him needing counseling.

He thought he had a handle on all that when he met the new girl at school, Ariadne. While Carson hadn't felt many romantic feelings growing up he couldn't deny he found her very attractive. Luckily it would seem she feels the same and the nature manic duo are now official! Counseling has also helped him realise he identifies as asexual. While everyone knows he's biromantic the only one he's told about being asexual so far is best mate Onyx Pancakes, so he's not about to go blabbing that on TV before he figures out how to tell his girlfriend. Which he is going to do. Any day now. Any day...

Anyway his girlfriend Ariadne saw the casting call and has convinced Carson what he needs is an adventure. Sure germs are a fear of his but he'll survive the experience... we very much hope. He's normally pretty good at making friends after all. Carson is hoping that time spent exploring the worlds can go towards life experience he can share with his scout troop and maybe use on a college entry essay. Sure he's a bit worried his OCD or asthma could flare up at really inconvenient times but as long as he can call his mum, best friend and girlfriend now and then he's sure he can survive the disruption in routine.

One day sfs will work and I'll be able to send his tray files through...

We’ve all heard of mansplaining. Now get ready for: PJO book purist-splaining. It’s like mansplaining, but every time you even think about liking a change made in the show, they jump down your throat with “ACTUALLY in the books…” because the show is “doing it all wrong” and the change is “so out of character” and “doesn’t even make sense :/”

But it's got to be so tough knowing a version of you has a completely different set of values. Values you find wrong. I would be crying to.

"I know that look. Are you ok Nancy?"

"I just can't believe we could ever be such cruel, hateful parents."

"Please don't cry love. We aren't the problem. "

Thinking about wymack trying to break the news to the rookie kid about their problems with the japanese mafia without scaring him off the team only for the rookie kid to have his very own ties to a different but related gang is too fucking funny to me
