The REAL reason this is late

[solace-saphylos]

I've started this challenge, and I will now unceremoniously use this reblog to reminisce about my progress so far. One of my personal goals this game is to socialize with all of the Sims 4 townies and get to know them better, so in order to ensure nobody ages away, dies or generates new whatever ones I set only my active household to age. That also means that every generation kept living will keep living even though the legacy goes on. I think I like it that way.

Lae'zel started out as a fresh alien ready to make her life in Grimm's Quarry, Evergreen harbor. She had great compatibility with Bess Sterling, the entrepreneur scam lady, so I first aimed for her as Wyll's other parent. This was shortly messed up by Bess asking to stay over a couple of days. It was a merry time of flirting with Bess and beating the ever loving shit out of Jules (Bess' boyfriend). I should have seen the Evil trait coming, but I embraced it with surprise. This is officially Vlaakith route Lae'zel. I promptly picked a fight with Santa, beat him up, and then erased his memory with alien powers. Life was good!

Wyll came to be after meeting Marcel Price at the neighbourhood brawl. Great compatibility, and a lot of micromanaging later, we were best friends and made a science baby. Boy on the first try! Lae'zel used up all of her parental leave to absolutely baby the infant, marvelling at how cute a human baby (objectified) can be. No will of their own, just... Adorable. Christmas came and she beat up Santa for presents, memory wipe, just like last time.

After an exemplary toddlerhood, Lae'zel was getting bored of parenting on her own. She made the impromptu main character decision of moving into Bess and Jules household, with the explicit goal of keeping up the romance with Bess and completely ruining Jules' life. It took some renovating to their house, and Wyll's room was a minimal closet type place with a bunk bed and a desk. Still, as a sociable child he enjoyed the extra faces to talk to.

The bane of my existence was picking the Commander career path, since it requires to level charisma. The socially awkward trait made this sloggingly slow, and I hated it. In order to make this suffering less serious I made sure to level Wyll's charisma too, to get that out of the way for his play as an adult. His teenage years became distinctly uneventful, as both him and his mother spent time yapping at mirrors and chasing confidence moodlets. Oh, Christmas was awesome for everyone in the house, even if Lae'zel beat up and memory wiped Santa again.

Life in the Bess-Sterling house was falling apart though. It was funny to give Jules the jealous trait, so that he would suffer, but on a whim I gave Lae'zel it too when prompted? The bitter resentment toward Bess, who honestly was the unfortunate victim of this love triangle, all of it made the relationship un-salvageable. It got to the point where Lae'zel beat Bess up, memory erased her, just to start over. It didn't work. They still despised each other.

So Lae'zel took her son and left that house, moving closer to work in Strangerville. With the half million simoleons she had stolen (split 50/50, Bess won the lottery once, I think that's why they were so rich??) Lae'zel built her own modern-cosmo luxe McMansion of moderate size. The charm point was the detached gym and a barely hidden rocket platform on the gym's roof. Truly a woman-cave to spend her retirement days in. Since she completed the bodybuilder aspiration, that retirement was bound to be long.

I wish there was more exciting things that happened in that house. They mostly grinded away at their skill leveling, Wyll completing both charisma and dance before Lae'zel got that damn 10 charisma for the final promotion. Since Lae'zel's evil trait had made her so mean, their relationship slowly deteriorated to a nice neutral in time for Wyll's birthday.

He invited all his friends. Even Bess and Jules were there. His dad, his half brother, the nanny who became his first best friend, it was just awesome! As soon as he's aged up and gained the good trait, he felt confident to take on the world! ... If only his evil alien mom didn't start arguing with him so soon. Their relationship sank like a stone in water, and after getting beat up Wyll immediately moved out. The party had barely finished before the took a measily sum of money and got himself that one haunted chef's apartment in San Myshuno. With only 213 simoleons to his name, he was ready to start his leg of the legacy!

Lae'zel was not quite finished with hers though. I played her for an extra week, where she gracefully aged up into an elder. Almost as soon as Wyll left she finally got that last bit of charisma. It was time to build the rocket on the roof. I purposefully left it 75% done, just to get that ominous scaffolded look for all the neighbours to worry about. Is she going home? Coming back with reinforcements? Or just bored of this earth?

Too bored can't be true. She admittedly had some flirtations with Marcel, Wyll's dad, after the platonic science baby had been made. Since Bess was shot, Lae'zel initiated a new sweet relationship with the man who had been there all along... Or rather, continuously showing up unceremoniously, somehow never concerned to hang out with his own family of six. I love this game.

Throughout her career Lae'zel has had work-pop ups for nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing but her social awkwardness. The final week of work to promotion edged me, continually sending me down with medium loss too many times. Friday finally made her Grand Marshal. She laughs manically, heading off to her detached gym to spar with her robot or to build on her rocket. She's finally done!

This is my first legacy challenge, but I get it. I really get it. Now I'm off to ruin Wyll's life before fixing it again. I have a Mizora stand in in mind for him <3 Judith Ward!

Memories of Grandpa Hank

I'm eating a bag of mormon gorp that tastes like gasoline while watching the rain run down the mountain. The taste doesn't even bother me anymore - all homemade gorp tastes like this. It's just a natural consequence of everyone keeping their prepper shit in their garages. 

My dad's out in the clearing, wandering around with his GPS. He's got some pieces of wire out on top of it to try and make the effective antennae bigger, but it just makes it look like he's dowsing. Another mormon tradition. I ask him if he's close to find water yet, and he looks up at me, little rivers flowing off him, and says yeah - he can feel it. 

I'm sure he can. I settle under my tree and watch the droplets roll down the needles. Awaiting the final judgement of Judge GPS. 

A few minutes later, it provides: 

Turns out my dad forgot to record the location of the car this morning. The GPS remembers where we parked yesterday, but by luck my dad knows how to get from there to our car. Downside is that it's a nine mile walk just to get to yesterday's position, then another five miles to backtrack. That's fourteen miles total. 

I'm only thirteen. 

Think you can make it? my dad asks. And it's a kindness that he's worried, but it's not like there's an alternative. What else would I do, sit down in the murk and cross my fingers he finds me again? Ask him to carry me 14 miles? 

I'll be pretty jelly legged, I say. But yeah. I'll make it. 

Attaboy, he says. He fishes a bag of poptarts out and offers me one as - I think - a peace offering. A, sorry you're gonna have to walk 14 miles in the rain because I goofed kind of gift. 

I take a bite and, despite being individually wrapped, it still manages to taste like diesel fumes. We start hiking our incredibly long distance in terrible weather for foolish reasons, and I joke to my dad that the only way to make this day any more mormon would be by pushing handcarts. 

He laughs. Neither of us laugh again until 11 pm, when we stumble like drunkards into camp. My grandpa has stayed up late to make sure we weren’t lost, but he only stays up long enough to see us arrive. We try to eat a dinner of sweet potato stew, but after falling asleep in the middle twice, we agree to just go to bed. 

I sleep in well past nine and wake up to nobody in camp but my grandpa. My dad left with my sister to keep hunting around 5 am. I know that everyone assumes that their dad is invincible when they're 13, but I'm 28 now and part of me still thinks he's gonna live forever. That God made exactly one perpetual motion machine, and it raised me in the desert. 

---

Around noon my grandpa suggests hunting again. If it was my dad, I'd probably tune him out, but I like my grandpa's style of hunting. My dad hikes and hikes and hikes until the elk get tired and just let him shoot them. My grandpa finds the sleepiest, sunniest, coziest field and takes a nap there, figuring if the elk have any decent taste they'll come there at some point.

Man's got a knack for knowing what elk like - he's right more often than not. I think he might've been an elk in a previous life. 

I go with him, and much as I hate to admit it, the hike is good for me. I start off walking like a pirate on two peg legs, so stiff I might as well not have knees, but by the end of the mile and a half walk I'm almost normal. We make it to the edge of the clearing, and my grandpa finds a patch of grass taller and softer than the beds inside the trailer, and he curls up to sleep there. I look across the grass and I watch the comings and goings of critters through the field. Sometimes I use the scope to get a magnified view, but I never do so with my hand on the trigger. The thought of accidentally looking a person through that glass is something that sends a chill up my spine. 

Some deer wander through the glen, but it'd take a fool to mistake one of them for an elk. A few hours later, my grandpa wakes up and asks if I want to wander around a little. It's a lovely day. Rain comes in bursts in Arizona, and the day after is almost always clear as can be. And for a short while, all the desert browns turn green and lush. Hard mosses turn squishy and cacti swell up like fresh baked muffins and for a while you can get why people settled in these god forsaken wastes. 

So I go with him, and we walk on, me with my gun, him just taking in the forest. He looks so peaceful that I get a little jealous, but it's not until my grandpa stops and looks at me that I even notice it myself. Takes a mirror, sometimes, to know yourself.

Being near my grandpa is always a strange thing for me. He's quiet, and he doesn't talk much, and I don't ever get the feeling that he's particularly emotionally intelligent - but it's like he's interacting with a reality more raw and real than mine. Like I'm watching symbols on a screen and he's counting atoms. And sometimes, just being near him gives me access to that raw matter. Just something about how he is breaks the illusions of the world.

He looks at the gun like a foreign object, like he doesn't recognize it, then he looks at me. He speaks and he doesn't mince words. 

What would you do if an elk came across the path and you shot it right now? he asks. 

Well, I'd start cleaning it, I say, and he waves the words away like cobwebs in his face. 

But would you celebrate? he presses.

And I look at him, and I don't actually see any judgement staring back. He knows the answer, and he's at peace with it. He’s asking so I can see it too. He’s being a mirror so I can see my own face.

I think I might actually cry, I admit. And he nods along in agreement before reaching forward to take the gun off my shoulder. 

Lets just walk today, he says. No chance of killing anything. No worrying about that. 

Right, I say. 

He pops the chamber open and tosses me back my bullet. I catch it, and the relief I feel is palpable. 

Can I change my mind? I ask, and he shrugs.

Whenever you want. Hunt or don’t. It’s not the hunting that I’m worried about. It’s seeing you ignore your conscience.

And for a moment, I'm there in the real world with him, and my gloves are off, and reality is a metal cube in my hand: Sharp and cold and heavy.

Or maybe that’s just the bullet.

---

We make it back to camp a bit later than my dad. We get there and he’s waiting for us. If he's tired, he doesn't show it. 

How'd it go? he asks. My grandpa looks at me, and I don't know how to respond. I don't know how to explain it, and I am scared. 

Great, he replies. It's a shame Babs only has a doe tag. We saw a five-point out there. Close enough to hit with a football. 

No, my dad says. If his grin was a half inch wider, both ends of his mouth would meet in the back of his head and everything above his tongue would slide off.

Tell him Babs, grandpa says. And, not for the first time, and especially not the last, I try my hand at spinning a yarn. 

It's pretty good. But at 13, I still have a lot to learn.

hiii im sure you’ve answered this before but in regards to your twst x Pokémon, how do you choose which Pokémon go give to the cast?? really curious since your choices are unique :O

unique in a good way, I hope? 😅 (jk jk I haven't come across too many pokemon AUs, so I was going in without preconceptions, I guess!) I was sorta aiming somewhere between doing, like, a full AU with internal consistency and everything, and just picking entirely based on theme/character, so maybe that's why! basically I just set some arbitrary rules (no legendaries/no repeats/evo stages based on year) and then went on ~vibes~. a couple were also suggestions (thank you guys!) and last-minute decisions, so it was a bit of a delightful mess of ideas!

my one regret is that I should have given Riddle a Togedemaru after all. ...you know what, he can have one now, why not

DP x DC Prompt

…

There are no more heroes.

Well, okay. Rewind a bit.

Danny has been doing the hero thing for a while now. He’s had a big reveal; everyone has accepted him (including his parents), the GIW disbanded, the Anti-Ecto acts repealed, and generally, everything is going great. Some of the A-Listers are even training as junior ghost hunters to help give him a break from his rogues! (Being Ghost King makes things hectic sometimes, and he just needs the extra help. Sue him!)

The point is, literally nothing is wrong with Danny Phantom’s afterlife.

And then Valerie Gray, the Red Huntress, disappears in front of his eyes.

Danny is baffled! She’s just…gone! Valerie just popped out of existence, like she was never there. But no matter how hard he searches in the Ghost Zone, he can’t find her soul anywhere. His core isn't broken in grief. So she’s not dead. Which is good. So then, where is she?

Some of the others come forward with ideas on how to find her. A few ghosts volunteer to go out into the mortal realm, an area Danny had declared off-limits, to see if she was out there. Danny approves it. He rounds up some of the friendlier (i.e., discreet) ghosts and Amity Parkers and demolishes the outside travel ban.

So everyone spreads out, looking for their dear frenemy and teammate. But it becomes apparent very quickly that something is wrong with the rest of the world.

There are no more heroes.

Every single living superhero on the face of the Earth has just…vanished. Villains are running amok; the countries are in chaos! Some aliens are invading Earth, mythical deities are trying to take over, and society is crumbling to the ground. Everything is on the brink of collapse.

Well, Danny was still there. And so were his people. They were pretty spread out, so could they just…take up the mantles? He also knew where to find the souls of dead heroes in the Zone; surely they wouldn't mind coming out of retirement for a little bit, especially if they couldn't die again. Oh! And that skeleton army leftover from Pariah Dark's reign might be useful in repelling those invading forces.

Honestly, there were more than enough hands to go around! And with the heroes gone, Danny didn't mind letting everyone out for a little break, as long as they followed his rules. They wouldn't stop the search for the other heroes, but hopefully, when they found them, the heroes wouldn't mind Danny's intervention too much. :)

In other words:

Someone fucks up, and all of Earth's living heroes are either wished out of existence or are whisked away to some far-off realm where Danny hasn't checked yet. In the attempt to figure out what's going on, Danny lets the dead run amok over the Earth as they search for clues. The skeleton army repels the invading armies, the souls of dead heroes deal with the world leaders, and his rogues and other Amity Parkers set up shop in place of famous heroes, trying to get the cities under control again.

Basically, they just do their best to keep everything from imploding until the Justice League and others are back.

(And why is it that Danny hasn't disappeared? Well, whatever caused everyone to go poof! only affected living heroes. Anyone heroes that were dead in the first place, or even just half-dead, stayed behind.)

i need ghoap frantically making out against a door finally taking the leap on their feelings. need ghost grinding against soap, expecting to find him just as hard as him, only to feel nothing

and in all his wisdom and experience, he concludes soap was tortured and never told him

he’s trying to think of a delicate way to say he understands, that he’s been through it and it doesn’t change anything about how he feels (and who the fuck touched him so he can hunt them down and rend them limb from limb)

meanwhile trans!soap’s just trying to find the best angle to grind his cunt on ghost’s thigh

just it never even entering ghost’s head bc he’s never known a trans person but he has met plenty of people who’ve been tortured - himself included - so of course that’s his logical leap

soap takes off his shirt and he sees his top surgery scars and ghost asks if he wants him to kill the one who did it and soap just hums like, “actually, man did pretty good, they healed real well,” and ghost’s just teary-eyes with awe at how well he’s coping, “looking on the bright side, that’s my johnny.”

imagine he thinks johnny was fully castrated but sees he’s determined to still have a sex life with him so he buys packers and straps to help him bc hell yeah healing and soap’s just like, “holy shit i’ve never had such a thoughtful partner before, such a sweet man, lt.”
