thank u for the encouragement nico, i am going to talk about markus and juno <3
so i have already talked a bit about these two, but to give a recap: juno is one of my void-walker ocs, essentially an immortal who died but they got better. markus, meanwhile, is a regular human that juno met in the 1980s (i’m thinking they met in like... june of 1983), a very very sad man who lost his wife in an accident and spiraled as a result.
they didn’t like each other at all at first, but they found a lot of common ground with each other and eventually became very close. i’m still not sure if their relationship was romantic or platonic or something else, but it was close. and tbh i think it might server the story better to leave the exact nature of it up to interpretation.
juno and markus helped each other become better people, though by the time of the main plot of a modern ghost story, they’re not in each other’s lives anymore. what happened? good question!
anyway i don’t have as many concrete thoughts as i had earlier b/c my brain has gone a bit soupy, but i do have some thoughts to offer
- one thing that would be interesting to come up is the fact that juno actually did have children before they became a void-walker, and markus and his wife had always wanted to have children but things never really worked out. i think there could be an interesting dichotomy there, in like... juno never really wanted kids but had them b/c It Was The 1800s and they didn’t have much of a choice, meanwhile markus and his wife (who needs a name. i think i’m gonna call her juliana, but we’ll see) wanted so so badly to have kids but couldn’t due to circumstances beyond their control.
- a big theme i think would be explored in this story would be the concepts of life and death and like. the big question of what truly happens after death. i think a lot of markus’s friendship with juno at first would be based around the fact that neither of them really knows, but they both WANT to know, just for very different reasons.
- something something.... juno being, by all technicalities, someone who is dead and teaching markus what it really means to be alive and to truly enjoy and embrace the life he has.
- flower symbolism out the fucking wazoo. you will not be safe from this. none of you will be safe from this.
- i had a tentative/working title occur to me earlier so uhhhh i think for now i’m going to call this We Smell of Dying Flowers.
i thought i had more but i am rotating this in my head so fast y’all
VIBRATES I wanna talk about Juno and Markus, I wanna talk about Juno and Markus, I wanna talk ab

Thess vs History Repeating
I got my second dose of COVID vaccine today!
And later, largely unrelated (I think), I ended up in tears of frustration and pain at my desk at work.
So, here’s the situation: my joints have been playing up something awful. I don’t sleep well at the best of times but having most of the joints in my extremities shrieking at me? Doesn’t help. But I soldiered on, because a) I’ve been ill enough at work lately, b) I had to go in today anyway because second dose of vaccine, and c) the typing queue’s a mess.
See, here’s the thing: we were slow before. We are not slow right now. In fact, we’re now in the catch-up period we’d been waiting for as all those backlogged appointments from the first lockdown end up with material to send us for histology and there is a lot of typing to do. That’s thing one.
Thing two? We have a whole second site getting folded into the whole because of reasons. They used to handle their own typing and on some level they still do but we’re also having people deal with stuff from that site at our site, for reasons I don’t understand. But that just means yet more typing, which because of the divisions between the two sites means that anyone who needs to type stuff that’s mean to be on that site’s system has to go on a remote system that’s incredibly slow and unreliable, and swap between the remote desktop and the regular one in order to get the typing for both places done.
Then there’s the fact that functionally? It’s really only me handling the typing. Which is fine when we’re slow and it’s only one site but when it’s two sites, two separate systems, and we’re clearing a backlog at both sites ... it’s a little bit much.
It’s even more ‘much’ when I’m also expected to handle the phones and drop everything when someone wants supplementary reports dumped onto the system or documentation sent to other sites. Add to that joint pain and increasing stress over the situation and it starts being less ‘much’ and more ‘untenable’.
So here’s me, being expected to do the work of at least three people. And you know what I got from one of my colleagues today?
“Oh, has he given you your half-day yet?”
Apparently, on top of him basically taking a half-day himself every day this week (though in his case it’s annual leave he needs to burn before the end of the month) ... well, he’s also been giving everyone else in the office half-days off this week, same as last. Look, if things are slow enough on their end that they can be spared for half a day, maybe he could assign them to ... you know, help me with the typing?
The answer to the question I got asked is “no”, by the way. Which should probably tell you something. I got, “I’m sure he’ll get around to it for you for next week” and I’m just... I told her I’d be reluctant to take it if he did offer it to me, which he won’t given the situation, because the typing is--
I wasn’t allowed to finish. I got, “Yeah, the typing’s kind of bad today”.
THE TYPING HAS BEEN BAD BASICALLY ALL WEEK. AND NO ONE NOTICES. There are over thirty overdue items in the typing queue because I just couldn’t get them done in time. That never happens. Just some of the items on the docket today were long and fiddly and about a third of them were on that other system and that just takes more time, and the one person who even occasionally helps was given a fucking half-day holiday today just because and when Scruffman’s out, I have to pick up his phone and since he was out all afternoon...
Yeah. Silent tears of pain and frustration which, again, no one noticed. Which I guess is just as well. And I have to do it all again tomorrow because that backlog is giving me nightmare flashbacks to how people would have reacted to that when I was a temp. Which is fair, because I think a fair few of you know how many times I’ve been in this position before. I have learned the lessons of history, and I’m doomed to repeat them anyway because the lessons of history basically involve, “Your bosses can treat you horribly and get away with it because they can find a replacement for you easier than you can find a new job”.
I just want to start screaming and not stop for a week. If this keeps up, I’m not going to be good for anything this weekend but being a duvet burrito. This cannot happen to me on D&D weekend.

Rosa Pt.2
Honestly sometimes I feel like I shouldn’t mind you disappearing because your catching up stuff always makes me extra happy XD I honestly don’t know how you do it.
grumpysimmies replied to your photo “Before my followers raise a mutiny because these guys are no longer in...”
AND I WILL DON'T WORRY YOU KNOW I LOVE THESE
I do ;_; the first couple q&a would have been nothing without you.
grumpysimmies replied to your post “Replies To The Spammers”
I'm looking forwards to get to know the chars you have yet to talk about xD
all my Ryders to be (Jian&Des, plus Olympia and Chikelu) are the most wip characters ever so there’s really not much to say (apart from how much I love Jian and Des’ dynamic)
grumpysimmies replied to your post “Replies To The Spammers”
You can never take too much moments to appreciate how cute a sim/char can be
true too, it gets weird tho when it’s your own
grumpysimmies replied to your post “Replies To The Spammers”
I'd personally come for them if they had something to say about ficus ._____.
same
grumpysimmies replied to your post “Replies To The Spammers”
I'm forever indebted to Carys since Flame's never going to age up xD
I will make sure to pass it on ;)
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “Happy birthday, Snowdrift Miracle (10/21)! When a char isn’t even...”
I'm still not over this
we will never be over them I assure you
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “@pixeldemographics dared me to do this, so I did it. This isn’t THE...”
AS IF I DIDN'T LOVE FICUS WAY TOO MUCH ALREADY
I’M SO SORRY I DIDN’T EXPECT IT TO TURN OUT THIS WAY (expect to also love Aur, Flame, Snowdrift, Tabasco and Shine a lot more at some point...just saying. Things might or might not be happening.)
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset
Remind me to never get on your bad side Annie xD
it’s...not hard? tbh. But I wouldn’t let it get this far unless it’s a repetitive thing XD plus I couldn’t be mean irl, worst thing I’d do is rant abt a nameless friend to another friend
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “Salim: Nononono! You can’t do this! It’s illegal! Shine: I can’t do...”
I LOVE HOW SHINE IS ENJOYING THIS WAY TOO MUCH
tbh I ruined the poor innocent child
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “Salim: Ugh! Neighbor, what is it! It’s not even late this time! Not...”
You shouldn't Salim
that doesn’t work Rosa we tried
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “Do you see this face? This face is the face of someone who is up to no...”
All the Salims I know are assholes xD
OOOOO I NEED TO KNOW MORE
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “G: Uh, hi neighbor. S: Hey. G: … S: … G: … S: … G: … S: … G: … S: … G:...”

grumpysimmies replied to your photoset
LOOK AT THIS PRECIOUS CHILD
I KNOW
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “When she’d calmed down, I sent her to visit some old pals! I mostly...”
I guess this answered my question about not seeing Sprout Jewel and Bonsai anymore xD
evidently ;) and this isn’t the end either! Just you waittttt
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “Flame is more than happy to see his son again!”
And I'm more than happy to see him
why am I not surprised XD
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset
I hope it's their tent and not the kids'
it was xD Sparkle and the girls shared the big one.
grumpysimmies replied to your post “Look mum I brushed my hair!”
But seriously I feel like it's so hard actually find lasting friends from uni (but it's their loss if they ignore you)
is it rly tho? like it obviously hurts me too so it’s also my loss xD but yeah...I agree it IS difficult. I feel like ppl are at that point in life where they are no longer looking for permanent close friends?
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset
It's really pretty ;-;
it is! I’m so glad I finally got to explore it a bit, the scenery is the best ;_; and my berry name for it is even better tbh.
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset

NOW THAT WOULD'VE BEEN PERFECT IF GLOW WAS THERE
I KNOW AND I KNOW ;-;
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “S: Geoffrey? Hey, buddy! Wait up!!”
Worst case he'd die from the serum no big deal
well Shimmer is...still alive I think (okay yeah she is she’s in the posts later)
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “Their flat is ACTUALLY haunted. Pathi is good with ghosts though,...”

grumpysimmies replied to your photoset

grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “Coexisting peacefully.”
I love how it seems that Shine is tenderly laughing at Trellis for being a goof and that's just way too fucking cute I can't ;________;
sjhfbjsakhjbgsjgdskjdf
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset
TRUE
IDK WHAT TO REPLY ANY MORE
grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “A wonderful glitchy family.”

grumpysimmies replied to your photoset “T: So you’re sure the Sparkles clan doesn’t need this flat any more?...”

Hey friends, just letting you all i have little surgery planned for tomorrow. It's not really serious, and i have a good queue of fics to keep me company during recovery. Basically what this means is a) i'll probably be late in answering asks/messages b) i might not be around as much and my blog queue might run out, and c) it's very possible that i'll complain over here or on twitter, you might see some groggy/drugged up posts and you're not allowed to make fun of me for them. That seems about it? I'll probably give this a reblog in the morning before i go as well. ✌🏻

Tag Game
So I was tagged by @mcbonescoy to answer these. (Thank you so much!)
Rules: Answer the questions in a new post and tag 20 blogs you would like to get to know better.
A - Age: 18 B - Birthplace: Canada C - Current Time: 11:45 pm (CST) as of making this, but it’ll be 2:00 pm tomorrow once it gets through my queue. D - Drink You Last Had: Water E - Easiest Person To Talk To: Everyone is hard to talk to. *chuckles awkwardly* But that’s just the perks of social anxiety. *chuckles awkwardly again* F - Favourite Song: I can’t stop watching Big Eden on repeat, so right now it’s a tie between Don’t Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes and Achin’ Breakin’ Heart, both by George Jones. Before that it was probably, House by Air Traffic Controller and Down in the Valley by The Head and the Heart. G - Grossest Memory: Eating a rotten tomato. The unpleasant tanginess churned my stomach for months after. I still love tomatoes, but they’re vile once they’ve gone bad. H - Horror Yes or Horror No: It depends on the type of horror and how I’m feeling. I usually end up watching them late at night, but I won’t leave the comfort of my locked room until morning.                                                              I - In Love: No, but there’s nothing I want more than to be. J - Jealous of People: No, I have too much depression and self-loathing to be jealous of others. K - Killed Someone: Fuck no. L - Love At First Sight Or Should I Walk By Again: You could hit me upside the head and I wouldn’t notice if you liked me. N - Number of Siblings: Just one, an older sister that’s always been there when I needed her. O - One Wish: I wish I could be anything but Aro. I’m tired of it and I hate it. If I could, I’d like to be panromantic. Everyone’s so beautiful and I would like to take all of them out on a date. P - Person You Called Last: My mom Q - Question You Are Always Asked: “What’s your name?”  I work as a server in an assisted living complex for seniors and not all of us wear name tags, plus I only started working there about 9 months ago. So I always get asked what my name is, sometimes multiple times by the same resident, but I have no problem telling them again. R - Reason to Smile: The AH guys, Big Eden, plants and nature. (I’m sorry, I’m having trouble thinking of some...) S - Song You Sang Last: To be honest, it was probably Achin’ Breakin’ Heart. T - Time You Woke Up: 6 am, I had to go to work, really early in the morning. But I got to serve some really nice seniors, so that was good. U - Underwear Colour: I am not answering that one.                                       V - Vacation Destination: I’d love to go somewhere where I could just be on my own and relax. Maybe New Zealand with those rolling green hills and the ocean... I don’t know. W - Worst Habit: Neglecting everything and everyone in my life when I go into huge depressive episodes. I’m sorry, but I can’t help it and I don’t think that will ever change. X - X-rays: Uh, I’m not sure how many I’ve actually had, it’s between 1 and 3. The most recent was because I broke my ring finger, and the other two, one was when I broke my collar bone and the other was when I had head surgery. I’m not sure if I actually got x-rays for those last two, I probably did for the collar bone, which would be why I know about it and I imagine that the hospital would have to have x-rays of my skull before sending me off to the OR. Y - Your favourite food: Uh, I’m really enjoying fried eggs, and Bibimbap, but my favourite is probably pan-fried salmon. Z - Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
This was a lot of fun!! I’m going to tag: @transspirk @tribblemaster @urban-trek-thru-middle-earth @sianatohan @laughingspock  @illogical-potato @go-embrace-messy-hair @kickedtotheside and @sonoberg​
And anyone else who wants to do this.

quick check in
finals are finally over so it's finally party time (which is just sleeping in) and being more active in the community !!! ( ^∀^)( ^∀^) its nearly midnight and I'm traveling tomorrow so here's a list of things I wanna leave for the night before I sleep: • I've been noticing something on here within the community (i'll make a longish shitpost about it tomorrow b/c sleepy) but I wanna get it going and make it something uplifting, something we can overcome. • I'll most likely be inactive during my trip due to not having any wifi at the place I'm staying at so I set up a queue for my posts if I don't forget to do so pls don't hunt me down I promise to be good and work hard !!! ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(; ̄◇ ̄)┘ • I've been feeling creative(?¿) lately and I wanna get back into designing stuff (I thought about making some t-shirts/pins/etc w a pastel/aesthetic kinda thing (I'm still brainstorming & I'll post pics soon) but lemme know if it's a good idea or not ) and I think that's all for now I think? I'll update this if anything new comes up soooooo relax, work hard and don't forget to play and have fun too! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

I really want to ask them alllllll. They're so interesting! So A, B, C, D, F, H but if you feel like it and have some time then ALLLL.
End of the Year Writing Meme!
A. If you could rec a piece of music to accompany one of your fics, what would you pick? Why?
I have various writing playlists but they’re kind of a mess. where I’ve used lyrics for titles it’s usually because the song is a good match. My favourite bit of music accompaniment i’ve done writing to was using the post-modern jukebox cover of My Heart Will Go On for the earlier, hopeful parts of titanic AU before swapping to the celine dion version for the sinking.
B. Who’s your favorite side-character from something you wrote?
Bill. Not specific even to a particular fic, just whenever I let him be in something he tries to steal the show. I think he also had the advantage of being one of the more commonly used side characters as he’s a go-to when I need to write a friend for Joe Toye or Babe, plus he’s one of the characters I’m actively trying to get a better grip on because I’d got a few ideas on the back-burner that would use him as a major player.
C. Get any good comments on your stuff this year? 
all comment are good comments ;)a stand out though has to be the second proper comment I got on homecoming (from the first commenter back for more!) that was like a little reaction post for the fic which is actual proof that one great comment is worth so much and totally made me feel better about being totally consumed and writing 10k of fic for such a teeny niche ship.
D. Any drawings or pictures that had a big influence on your writing?Nothing comes to mind. There are lots of things that inspire me in small ways but no big influences.
F. What stories are you planning for the future?
Here’s my current folder of ‘active’ projects that I want to get done - although as you can see some of them are more active than others so no promises :)

Of course, it’s also entirely possible that something will come crashing out of my ideas/notes folder and queue jump to the front.
H.  How do you write? Paper, pen, computer? Music, no music?
COMPUTER! 95% of my writing is on my computer, occasionally I’ll use my phone if i’m on the move or if i need to get something down in a hurry when i can’t get to my laptop. i’d go mad if i had to hand write stuff, not least because my handwriting is abysmal.
I won’t do all of them now because it’s getting late and this post will get too long, but I will add on a partial answer for J.  What are the best jokes you told this year? Any jokes you thought were funny that people didn’t catch? Vice-versa? because I try hard to be funny in a lot of my writing (to questionable success 😂) so I am going to take the opportunity to highlight a line I am very proud of and which made me snicker a lot even if nobody else remarked upon it.It’s from one of the earlier scenes in that titanic au where Webster is striking up his acquaintance with Lieb and Lieb is teasing it being an ‘improper lisasion’ and Webster can’t tell if Lieb is talking about their class difference or if he also noticed the spark between them and is being suggestive so tries to focus on talking about safe topics like the ship. At which point I wrote this gem for Lieb:
“An intimate knowledge of the ship, huh?” Liebgott says. “Most of you upper class types are only interested in the size and barely enough of the mechanics to impress young ladies who don’t know better.”
in which he is definitely not talking about the ship ;)  (it’s half in the actual dick/sex joke and half in the fact Webster thinks there is so much ambiguity while Lieb is dropping innuendo like there's no tomorrow)
