🍝 & 🖤 for Elise and Emily
🍝 SPAGHETTI — what is/are your oc's favorite food(s)?
Hm..thinking about Elise's backstory -- she was born in 1957. She grew up in public housing in a poor neighborhood in the 1960's, and would would have been a teenager in the early 1970's. Thinking of the cuisine of the era, particularly among the working poor: food tended to be simple, convenient, and bland. Thinking of what I've said about Armorican cuisine in the past, and what I've said to @nexility-sims in recent DM's: some kind of potato-heavy casserole prepared with some kind of canned soup. I'm imagining something like potatoes au gratin, made with a can of soup instead of butter and cream. I'm envisioning canned clams playing a role, as well. As for Emily...egg tarts. I don't know why, but she's giving me egg tart vibes. She must be a dim sum girlie.
🖤 BLACK HEART — has your oc killed or seriously wounded anyone before? have they broken someone's heart and/or broken someone's trust?
Before she joined the royal family, Elise played hockey professionally. Although women's hockey tends to involve less bloodsport than men's hockey, Elise was probably involved in at least one on-ice brawl during the course of her ten-year career. I don't think she's ever seriously physically injured anyone, but she broke a fair few hearts during the same span of time. Emily is a mild, bookish girl, and Freddy is her first-ever boyfriend. She's never been in a physical fight, never crashed a car, never committed drunken manslaughter at a party. And she's certainly never broken anyone's heart...
OC detail questions ->accepting
#armorica asks#Anonymous#thank you for the ask!#i almost was boring and just skipped the first one or gave an easy answer#but inventing a new potato-based clam chowder casserole feels deeply appropriate#maybe frozen peas are involved#at any rate this is one of like four things elise knows how to cook#she makes it on family holidays#but doesn't otherwise have it#because asking the staff to prepare this dish that is considered unsophisticated and associated with the working poor#would be a deeply vulnerable thing#and Elise Don't Trust Like That

Bruce tries to adopt Ellie, who is immediately against it. She keeps throwing him off her trail and he keeps tracking her down. She's honestly concerned, and normally she would handle her problems by herself- but this is Batman.
So when Bruce gets a little too close and Ellie is just so tired... she calls for Danny.
"Mom!"
Cue college student, perpetually tired and overworked Danny "High King Phantom" Fenton appearing from the very shadows Batman normally does himself, seeing the situation and going off at this "clearly older man" chasing his daughter in the middle of the night.
Cue the most elaborate "stop trying to adopt my kid before I adopt yours" series of battles
#danny phantom#dc comics#batfam#batman#dani fenton#danny fenton#bruce wayne#dc x dp#ellie fenton#feel like ellie would be deaged in this one#while danny allows her to travel freely he has a check in system for her#as well as periods she has to come visit so she can go to doctors appointments or for holidays#he also forced vlad to help set up her human identity and she has online schooling#feel like everytime someone in the batfam tries to get info from danny or ellie on how they came to be they both are incredibly vague#but in a way that sets vlad in a really bad light#they dont mention the cloning they just phrase it as “vlad took advantage of danny when he was younger and ellie was the result”#danny complains often about child support and how vlad “still tries to make family ties”#ellie just says vlad lies and its why she consider danny her only parent

Thinking a bit more about this Steve Has Older Siblings AU I’ve got going on (here, here, and here). Specifically about Richard Harrington’s first wife, and two things:
1. She’s a saint. Theresa Kline (former Harrington) stood by her husband through multiple extramarital affairs but a not-quite-yet nineteen year old mistress with a baby was her breaking point. She bowed out gracefully.
Richard married his mistress and Theresa moved on. She never said a bad word about him to her kids or to anyone. She never spat an insult at the child that ruined her marriage or about her baby boy.
Though, she didn’t have to.
Her kids said enough bad things about Steve and his mom on her behalf to fill a book. They never miss an opportunity to remind Steve that while both their parents were from two of Hawkins’ more influential and wealthy families, his mother was a high school dropout homewrecker and a whore that didn’t love him.
Even after his siblings tried fixing their relationship with him, they all still take shots at his mom. Jason’s favorite analogy seems to be that him and his siblings are ‘purebred’ and Steve is a ‘mutt.’
Or, well. It was until Robin heard it and said, “Pure? Like the Nazi’s ideology?? Yikes.”
2. I realize that this AU does not really contradict anything important in the Officer Noodles (and also here) universe. You’d just have to make Angela Harrington Callahan’s little sister.
#I think there’s another officer noodles post out there but god forbid my blog let me see something I posted#I think Theresa would’ve always been really nice to Steve when there were functions that both families had to attend#but Steve’s parents talked so negatively about her that he was always kinda suspicious#she would send a Christmas gift with the kids for him when they did the holiday with their dad#it was hit or miss if he actually received it#he used to kinda wish she was his mom but then would feel so bad about it that it’s make him feel sick#steve harrington#stranger things#phil callahan#Officer noodles#Steve Has Older Siblings AU

I can tell the SAD is starting to creep back in because I just ugly cried over a tiktok of a dog who had been in a shelter for 2.5 years.
#emynn.op#I say SAD but it's not really SAD#like it's time of year related but it's not bc of the lack of sunlight#I just say SAD bc it's easier than 'annual depression brought on by personal and family triggers due to the rapid series of holidays#'that make me contemplate my very existence'#but ALSO the dog was having a fun day out!!!#someone checked her out for the day and they got a pup cup and playtime at the park and a new toy#and she was such a pretty baby and she looked so HAPPY#even when she had to go back to the shelter ough#listen I know tiktok is the devil and all that but my feed is 95% cute animals#so#anyway#gonna go annoy Daphne now and make sure she knows how lucky she is

last night was randomly thinking about how she shot the I Can See You music video in England clearly because at the time they booked it months prior she expected to be in England during the break from tour to spend Easter with Joe and his family and then right before the shoot Joever happened and she still had to haul ass across the Atlantic to make the damn video even though it was probably the last place she'd want to be 😵💫 especially when the news broke while she was on set
#the fact that she booked the video in Liverpool in the first place WAS SUCH A SIGN OF HOW MUCH SHE TRIED TO MAKE IT WORK#there was no logical reason to shoot it there when LA would have been closer to where she was working and more saliently#made way more logistical sense for production#but she wanted to be home for whatever sliver of time she had#and rearranged her whole schedule to do it#(when the more logical thing would have been for him to fly to her for the holiday)#(but clearly it meant a lot and for all we know she loved spending the holiday with his family idk)

#I love the idea of Tsukasa becoming such a part of the Moriyas she's being brought on to the family holidays but clearly as a in-law#To normal people this is just some girls on a beach but the inclusion of Tsukasa makes this the funniest image ever to me#touhou#oil fire#suwako moriya#sanae kochiya#tsukasa kudamaki#kanako yasaka

Attempting to convince my mom to let me bring a new mac and cheese recipe for thanksgiving. Wish me luck
#I understand that new recipes are A Big Deal for southern families with holiday foods#but I just think that I’ve found a good one and everyone should be openminded!!!#‘but why would you change the one we always have’#well you see. I enjoy it when my food tastes.#and I think everyone else would too if you’d just trust me and my lack of measuring spoons.#I always make the pies. and when my grandmother watches me make the pies she complains about the amount of spices I add.#but when she doesn’t watch me put in a fuckton of spices??? when she has no idea???#best pie she’s ever had. she loves it.#people need to TRUST ME and just not worry about what I’m doing in the kitchen#unless I set a potholder on fire. which did happen once. then they can worry about it.#but do not watch me or police my recipes and spice amounts. go away 💫#‘but that’s too much-‘ WRONG. it is not enough

I think what might have been better (for me) would be if they hadn't skipped ahead quite so far in the last scene and instead Alison and Mike were returning only a few years later with Mia. Still the "usual room" and still all the old decor kept around the building, but Alison walks into the room holding Mia's hand and "introduces" her to the ghosts, the idea being that she's old enough now even if she can't see them to know they're there, to know that Alison not only gives the ghosts that allowance in her life on her own terms but also perhaps that she can tell Mia stories about the funny dead people who became her family
#bbc ghosts#bbc ghosts spoilers#nothing is so important to me right now as knowing that Mia knows about the ghosts#she should know#they're her family after all#the idea of alison telling mia stories about 'uncle julian' or 'grandma fanny' while mike rolls his eyes#mia asking mike wide-eyed if the ghosts are real and mike telling her wryly that yes they're real#mia asking if there are any ghosts around every time they walk down the street#mia passing on questions for alison to ask the ghosts about this historical event or that#or getting them to tell her the hotel gossip through her mother#and alison going 'oh robin i can't tell her that' and mia BEGGING alison to tell her what the caveman said#the ghosts gushing over mia every time they see her even though she can't hear or see them#and alison being so so proud#sigh#i do appreciate the longevity of alison and mike's holiday tradition being confirmed#even if in the moment i had reservations#only so much story you can tell in half an hour with what budget they had#oh#mia coming with alison in those later years when its harder for her to make it out#mia coming in her stead when alison is gone and having to tell the ghosts#not knowing if they're even there to hear her#oh god now i'm a different kind of sad#goddam

I think we as a fandom are collectively sleeping on Carolina being raised with Jewish holidays. dude can you imagine her being reintroduced to them once she’s with the reds and blues maybe cus they picked them up as a found-family sort of tradition because of church and they continue them when he’s gone. her getting to relive the sweet nostalgic parts of her childhood with her new family. can you imagine her coming in and seeing all the decorations and food she hasn’t seen in years (this is ofc assuming they didn’t really do holidays on the MOI) screaming and crying do you see it do you see my vision
#she needs something happy her childhood has caused her a lot of pain already#im having some banger matzah ball soup rn and it got me thinking cus this stuff is the definition of warm and comforting simple food#can you imagine Carolina having that again for the first time in years and remembering maybe when Church or Allison used to make it for her#and now it’s the reds and blues doing the same for her and keeping a part of her culture and family alive andjshlfbsldm#im not Jewish myself so I had to do a bit of research for this so if I got something wrong about how holidays and observers work#im very sorry feel free to correct me or add on#rvb#agent carolina

I’m not going to lie I’m like really stuck and don’t know what to do with my feelings about All Of This. I dont have therapy until next week and they don’t have space to move me up and I dont really have anyone else to talk through how I feel ? I dont know what to do.
#like I live in my dads house. and he voted against me.#I didn’t speak to him at all yesterday because I just can’t look at him#I knew he was gonna vote that way but it didn’t seem real until it was already too late#and like my mom says he doesn’t have bad intentions but I don’t know how I’m supposed to know that ???#like he knew what voting for that entailed and he still did it anyways regardless of what his actual reasons were#and it makes me even MORE sick because I know that like 90% of my family voted that way too. how am I supposed to do holidays ?#and it makes me sick EVEN MORE because my best friend and my sister didn’t vote but if they had they would have voted that way too#so I genuinely have nobody to speak to about this but my mom and she does not want to hear me shit talk my dad#like I live in a state that’s almost definitely going to remain safe for me#but it’s hard to know that they look at me and claim they love me and then turn and look at people just like me and vote for their demise#like do they really love me ? do they really see me as a person ?#I know the call to action is to condemn their supporters but how do you do that when you’re entire support network is made up of people who#wouldn’t care if you lived or died if you weren’t related to them ?#what do you do if you live in your conservative dad’s house and there is literally nowhere to run because you can’t even afford to get a#shit apartment ?#what do you do when you’re just as alone with these people as you are without ?#vent post

rotating noelle around in my brain. i need the dess raises kris au to be real RIGHT NOW.
please talk to me about the dess raises kris au i think im gonna explode. also start writing it this summer maybe :3333
#chatter#drkau#posts that need context. basically despite being called 'dess raises kris' neither dess nor kris show up for the first arc of the story lol#it would cover dark worlds 1 + 2 + 3 which i would make up#and its about noelle susie and ralsei being the three closing dark worlds and becoming besties#BUT ALSO so ive always worried id never be as excited about noelle as kris#n thus do her poorly when shes literally like one of the main protagonists#BUT NO. IM GOOD NOW. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IM GONNA DO WITH HER#what do you do when your entire family has been defined by a grief you dont feel. by the death of a sister and friend you dont remember#what do you do when their grief shapes the form of your life and you keep bucking against it#because now youre the baby of the family and everything is On You#and you finally FINALLY find somewhere where you can maybe be someone#only to find out that that world never wanted you either. that world wasnt ever supposed to exist for you#what the fuck are you supposed to do#ANYWAYS NOELLE HOLIDAY-DREEMURR....NOELLE HOLIDAY-DREEMURR I LOVE YOU.....#(ps yes she gets a hyphenated name i wonder what might lead to this....)#(pps no i dont know what kris's last name is in this au skull emoji#chara would take dess's when they get married but dess wouldnt keep holiday (or let kris keep dreemurr)#cause she did. technically. kidnap them oops)#ANYWAYS IM SO NORMAL ABOUT THIS AU LITERALLY SHAKING IT AROUND LIKE A DOG WITH A CHEW TOY

This is Cora Sue Hiddlestix (Eloise's mom) and she is doing a great job at being my stereotypical "witch in the woods"
I love her vm.
#ts4#simblr#sims 4 gameplay#cora sue#sims 4#sims 4 screenshots#eloise is not a witch#i'm saying it skips a generation bc i can#i dont even really call them witches but that's lore for another day#eloises dad died by a meteor and my brain went haywire making the whole hiddlestix backstory so here we are#i think the furniture is debug from rom but it could also be cc but i love loading into cora's house because she is so so sweet#she has one chicken and a goat and a garden and rabbits and she's friends with the birds#i actually painstakingly went through and made her sisters with clara bjergsen and summer holiday's mom crysta holiday#obviously crysta and cora came from my imagination as did eloises dad elden who is now ded#so cora crysta and clara are sisters and summer sofia elsa and eloise are all cousins#this is largely because sofia grew up and had twins and summer also had twins so i was like oh ok it runs in the family#in ts2 sims used to be related to each other like that and i missed it#thank goodness for mccc#if you read this far bless you unto 7 generations

Same anon: Pete's taste in decor doesn't improve as he figures himself out. If anything, it gets weirder.
(prev)
oh, absolutely! Pete is a funky lil guy and his tastes reflect that 😤👏 it gets worse even before he starts figuring himself out because Khun starts inviting him to craft nights again, because Pete's needs more PIZZAZZ in his life. Vegas puts his foot down on the kitchen jars having feathers, but we're talking sparkly kitsch to a whole new level. bedazzled lights. glittered vases. sequinned table runners. gold painted everything. nothing is of remarkable quality yet works bizarrely well with Vegas's luxurious velvet. Vegas is immensely irritated and delighted every time someone points this out, and takes it out on one (very delighted) Pete.
#shortly after i first posted interior design my mom and i started making pinecone hedgehogs for holiday decorations#we have. SO MANY pinecone hedgehogs now#(she put out 18 last christmas iirc?? we are home of the hedgehogs now)#and a friend was also sending me pics of all the hedgehog decor in her family's home too at the time#so my point: Khun picks up from somewhere that Pete likes hedgehogs and then its ALL THE HEDGEHOG CRAFTS for 4 months before they reconcile#and then even more after they do naturally#Arm gifts Pete a doorstop hedgehog that's dressed like a bodyguard#it's not a *good* doorstep hedgehog dressed like a bodyguard#it's suit sleeves are wonky its tie is construction paper its passable at best#Pete *loves* it and gives it a place of honor in his home#Vegas is still deciding how he feels about it#he will be deciding how he feels about it for the next five years min#fic: interior design#kinnporsche#vegaspete#fic headcanons#thank u for sending this in anon 😂 <333
