#so it's taking longer that it might otherwise

[tedsies]

i caved and bought the legacy collection out of curiosity

i bought it on steam by the way, no way am I going anywhere near the ea app

random thoughts as i go along:

game loaded up straight away with no issues (what a strange feeling)

got into pleasantview within 2 minutes (obvs I have no cc installed right now so its gonna be faster anyway)

a bit of a jumpscare to see the game again without reshade ngl

straight into the lothario household. don you look... different without all my defaults

screen resolution defaulted to the right size without me having to change anything by the way, which was nice

turned up all the graphics setting to max and going to visit the goth household as that always gives me lag, even vanilla

this experience is already making me realise I need to cut down my 12gb downloads folder, cos man this is so smooth and fast without all of that in my game

well everything is working perfectly straight out of the box. had no issues with multiple sims on the big goth lot

going to quit and load up again with my ui mods and defaults next (along with hugelunatic's ikea pack as cc)

legacy collection has an entirely different file path by the way, so won't mess with existing ultimate collection installs (i wouldn't have dared to do this otherwise)

okay all my defaults, ui mods and some others are now in (downloads folder is up to 3.64gb now) and everything is working fine still

ikea items as cc don't seem to be fully appearing in the catalog though? that might be a me problem but i dont know

adding in all my cas cc now, along with hood defaults and hood deco cc (downloads folder is up to 6.5gb now). i'm also adding in anything else I can think of like camera mods, user startup cheat etc etc

getting into pleasantview in less than 2 mins still

heading into cas for the first time now...

... and it loaded up within 10 seconds even with ALL of my cas cc? and this is the first time too so I would've expected major lag. normally cas takes about 60 seconds to load in my game

update on the ikea pack as cc... the build items are definitely there, but not the buy for some reason?

biting the bullet and adding in the remaining 6gb of my 12gb downloads folder

all of my cc is now in the game and loading times were about 30 seconds longer than before. still no issues

took darren dreamer to a community lot and there were no crashes/issues/lag. normally going to a community lot is very dangerous for me cos its where I get the most crashes or issues, its why all my community lots are incredibly small lot sizes

also I have the hood deco view set to extra large... normally I have to have it set to extra small just to play in a small household

i dont think I'm being delulu here to say things are running better

next up is adding in all of my mods, then after that I might dare putting in my mega populated uberhood save, and try reshade?

another ikea update: everything is showing up now. it was me being an idiot

so all of my mods are now also in (so my entire downloads folder now) and i haven't been able to trigger any crashes or pink soup yet through normal gameplay? even with extra large hood view from lots

reshade keeps crashing my game on startup... damn, what am I doing wrong

RESHADE IS NOW WORKING (ver 6.1.1)! thanks to this guide

I finally added in my uberhood save (which is packed with hood deco and and has 35 playable families).... and it's working! I also played with a household for a bit and everything was working fine

final update before I go to bed (as its gone midnight here lol)

i now have all of my mods, cc, saves, and reshade installed, and I've yet to have any pink soup or crashes (apart from the crashes when I was *incorrectly* trying to install reshade). honestly... i'm surprised. i dont want to speak too soon obviously, but things seem better. i was just playing in a household with extra large lot view on and that would usually IMMEDIATELY crash my game, but nothing happened. tomorrow i'll actually play for an extended period of time, so i'll be able to tell more for sure then.

i hope this has been helpful to at least a couple of people, and i'll leave with you a shot of my pleasantview newly loaded up in the legacy collection 😅

　　　˚　　　　　➺　　　　　❀

　⸝⸝　　◦　　tags: regular gay se-mi glaze, facial piercings, suggestiveness (?) (maybe idk), no games au

　⸝⸝　　◦　　a/n: hello!! this is my first time ever posting headcannons or anything on this app and i’m REALLY nervous, i will always take constructive criticism/feedback, and if u have any request please let me know! also i apologize if this is short :-( if i get more ideas from you guys, they may be a lot longer than this!!!

update 2/1/25: fixing any errors or typos!

₊ ⁺ ⊹ ₊ ⁺ ⊹

Hair

- she usually has her regular haircut, but might grow it out sometimes.

- her hair definitely smells like some sort of dove shampoo and conditioner, specifically a vanilla scent.

- if she grows it out, it barley reaches past her shoulders; and if it reaches any longer she hates it. she never liked long hair on herself.

- she’s always wanted blonde highlights in her hair, she thinks it’ll look good on her.

Piercings

- ooo this was my FAVORITE part to write for!!!

- she definitely has both of her nostrils pierced, usually putting studs in them. speaking of nose piercings, she definitely has a septum and nobody can tell me otherwise. (THE NOSE RING IS LITERALLY CANON!!!!)

- and so is her LIP piercing!!! but i think she also have a tongue piercing for (👅👅heh…)

- lastly, she may have an eyebrow piercing and her ears pierced :-)

Bonus

- she convinced min-su to get his ears pierced, but he almost started crying when the piercing gun went through his ear. (my shayla😣😣) he only wears stud earrings and maybe dangly ones if he’s in the mood

Clothing

- you see, i was gonna make her wear masc lesbian clothes (which is what she wears in my world all the time) but when i looked on pinterest all i could find were like men and i was like EW!!!

- but anyways, she adores her leather jackets. she has a whole stash of them in her closet, she also owns a carhartt jacket (ifykyk)

- her closet consists of baggy jeans, sweatpants graphic tees, long, big button ups, and ties.

- she definitely has a pair of doc martins (who doesn’t???) (me. i don’t. i really want doc martins.)

- her favorite shoes to wear are definitely her crocs and converse. very comfy :-)

- she also owns like a bunch of beaters, why? because i said so.

Ykw ykw im just gonna post a rant I made on Discord, Ahem:

Akechi is kind of the embodiment of parts of the thieves that make them, well.. Shitty thieves. Parts of themselves that inconvenience other people, or make them difficult, or otherwise present a reason that they might not be worthy of their power. The version of the thieves who got caught up in their own justice and fame.

And weirdly enough, I feel like Sumire kind of has a similar thing going on, but with parts of themselves they find pitiable. The version of the thieves who seem helpless without Joker to motivate them, children crying out for help.

Longer rant under cut

Akechi is the Ryuji who views everyone with inherent mistrust and hostility, because people who should’ve been good to him have hurt him before. Sumire is the Ryuji who lost a feeling of fulfillment from his sporty hobby after a traumatic event and wants that back more than anything.

Akechi is the Ann with a childish streak, for whom the only reason they didn’t murder their least favorite person in the entire world was out of a desire for him to just suffer far worse than that, who has grand dreams of fame. Sumire is the Ann who is socially awkward and blames herself for every tragic happenstance and who wants to prove herself to everyone.

Akechi is the Yusuke who was used as a pawn by his abusive father and settled into that life because it was just comfortable. Sumire is the Yusuke who wanted that life back more than anything, because things were normal back then.

Akechi is the Makoto who was willing to insinuate Ann was responsible for Shiho’s attempt just to hurt her, who played into a system she knew was cruel because as long as she swam with the current she wouldn’t get hurt. Sumire is the Makoto who so so desperately wishes she was her older sister, who feels she’ll never escape from her shadow.

Akechi is the Futaba who believed her life ended after her mother died, that she’ll never recover from that, she was too far-gone. And Sumire is a Futaba who was told she was right. And her only way out is for Joker to fix her. If not him she’ll take anyone really.

Akechi is the Haru with a sadistic side festering beneath her smiley, soft exterior, thoughts of vengeance brewing against the man who ruined her life. And she just has to keep it down, be a good girl, be polite. Sumire is the Haru who’s learned to stop fighting, because the person she is, is not and will never be good enough. She just falls into the same routine she’s always been in, because what’s the point in trying if she’ll always fail, or if no one will listen.

Update: uploading soon! Ch.1 through 8.

Since Dashingdon is about to be out of the picture, I figured I'll upload AoL chapters 1 through 8 due to those nearing completion in the edits and fixes. Besides just being generally slow in working (I know, I'm sorry), I decided doing it this way would be better than waiting until ALL (1-12) of it has been done.

If you want to see the changes and edits listed, read on! Otherwise, please wait a little longer, I swear it's coming. I'm so sorry this has taken so long, I've no excuse.

~Added a new scene to Ch.4. ~Fixed variables: I made them flat numbers. I... I don't know why. So I went back to change them into percentages again. Lesson learned. ~Added more flavor text where possible. This includes text for your MC's chosen vice. I could do more in some places, but I was worried it'd disrupt the flow, if that makes any sense. ~Found several errors in coding (ie. found a missing variable) or LI/RO pronouns that were overlooked. ~Made minor changes to the story such as reformatting, taking out certain lines (due to not liking them/feeling they were unnecessary, etc.)

I might have missed things but those were the most significant if I did. I have worked on the stats screen but... that's... That thing is giving me issues.

[lu-is-not-ok]

I may have sent this before, but may I give the thought of Star Luminary for hong lu's waw? I'm not super certain on it for 'em, but I feel like with how his canto refers to a sundering there'll be a case that he can't go home anymore.

as a bonus, it fits our last waw reciever to a T.

Well, for one, it's not Sundered, it's Surrendered, which to me moreso implies that Hong Lu will have no choice but to be surrendered back to his home or otherwise have no agency in what's happening, which fits what his position in the Family is implied to be, that being one lacking agency.

Either way, let's take a look at Star Luminary.

I believe we're dealing with two major themes here - the themes of perception affecting the essence of things and the themes of wishing to go back to something that no longer exists. We're also dealing with a minor motif of fortune telling.

Let's get the fortune telling motif out of the way. This motif is primarily within the E.G.O gifts associated with the Abnormality, that being Tomorrow's Fortune, the crystal ball directly given by it, and Oracle, a small blue star surrounded by cosmic clouds, which while Not directly tied to Star Luminary just yet, has enough pointers implying they might be connected. This motif could also be seen through the Abnormality being described to be saying things as if they knew what the players was thinking.

The two major themes are exemplified in the different choices you can make with the Abnormality in its MD Event.

The choice to deny the marbles being stars results in an exploration of the first theme. Regardless of whether you succeed the skill check or not, the core of what Star Luminary says is the same - stars are what you percieve them as, what they are in your mind. If you see them as marbles, then that's how you see them and that's what they are to you. There's a sort of subtle duality to this idea, as in both results the orbs are essentially both marbles and stars at the same time.

The second choice, the one to agree that they are stars, lets us explore the second theme. Similarly to the previous one, regardless of whether you succeed the skill check or not, Star Luminary admits to wishing to go back to the blue star. A failure of the skill check will result in the Abnormality admitting that it can no longer go back, that the only thing it can do is try to become a star itself. A success on the other hand gives an interesting bit of text from the player's perspective - "You have no idea where it may be, and you certainly aren't from it, but you feel the urge to go back to it." The Blue Star isn't necessarily a 'home', but something that compels people to 'come back to it' anyway.

So, with all of that laid out... Yeah. Yeah I can definitely see Hong Lu fitting an E.G.O from this Abnormality.

The motif of duality is already a constant for Hong Lu, and the idea of perception affecting the essence of things fits very well with the "Truth becomes fiction when the fiction's true. Real become not-real when the unreal's real." motif of DOTRC that I believe is likely to play a big role in Hong Lu's Canto.

I could also see the second theme applying to Hong Lu, though not in the straightforward manner you imply it to. As is tradition of me at this point to connect everything to them, I believe this motif could apply to Baoyu's feelings about Daiyu. Daiyu is Baoyu's 'Blue Star' that he can't go back to, due to what is essentially their death. And, in the case of Two in One, just like Star Luminary can only try to become a star itself by emitting a similar glow, Baoyu can only carry Daiyu with him through bearing their visage.

Hell, even the minor motif of fortune telling works with him, and not just because his chosen emoji is a Crystal Ball. Hong Lu has this minor tendency to act as if he already knows what's going to happen. There's of course the TKT bit where he seems disappointed that things went according to plan, calling the world "as familiar and changeless as ever" in response. But it actually goes back much further. All the way back in Canto 2, Hong Lu seems to already be aware of the Sinners' exact destination for the Canto, even though the following conversation between Vergilius and Outis shows no Sinners were actually informed about that until after he makes a comment.

So. Yeah! It genuinely works shockingly well!

imagine college professor nanami! and student! reader

its the little things that get him riled up to the point he has to embarasingly excuse himself in the middle of a lecture to go "use the restroom"...anyways yeah you do it on purpose but he doesn't know that! the reavealing outfits you wear from time to him are definetly to get his attention. Each time you see the reaction in his eyes, it brings you a sense of gratification, knowing he’s completely unaware that you’re doing it on purpose just to tease him.

when the class is working on an assignment he would make his way around the room to people who need help and when it's your turn you both enjoy every second of it, you're smart, but sometimes you would just do it to catch his attention, when he hover over your should its the way he does it, the hovers over you as if you were just a tiny bug. he was so close you could feel his breath hover over right above your neck making you hive in goosebumps—so close you could smell the kind of shampoo he uses and oh don't get me started, the way he smells—nanami is most definitely a tom ford man, his cologne is strong enough to make you scrunch your nose, in a good way-it overpowers all other scents in the room, makes people yk take a second look.

he'd talk ear level with you, his voice was deep but not rough, speaking in a quiet tone that was just above a whisper. he'd point to the screen with his index finger, gesturing as he explained. his hands were worn but soft, with a gentle touch. when he flexed his finger, you could see his veins underneath.

after class, you met up with your friends for lunch, and you didn’t hold back—telling them everything about your little crush on your professor. as you talked amongst them, you couldn’t help but glance around the room and spot him. the way he carried himself, his confident posture, and how he presented himself to others only fueled your fascination. you were certain of what you wanted, this isnt just a little crush for you. you didn't notice, but the moment your gaze shifted, his lingered on you for just a moment longer than yours had.

a week went by while you teased him, eye contact, small remarks, stuff like that. No changes on this. However, as you were making your way out of class, he surprised you by calling you aside, away from the rest of your classmates. You felt a wave of anxiety as you protested, insisting you had to head to your next class, but he was persistent, urging you to stay just a moment longer. You couldn’t quite put your finger on what you might have done wrong, which only heightened your nerves. Yet, despite the uncertainty swirling in your mind, you found it impossible to refuse him, feeling drawn in by his intensity and the undeniable connection you had built over the past week.

once the last person had exited, the door shut behind them, sealing out all outside sounds, rendering the classroom eerily quiet. the few windows allowed just enough sunlight to filter in, but otherwise, the atmosphere felt heavy and still, as if no one else was present. he studied your eyes intently before scanning your appearance. today, you were dressed casually, clearly burdened by the weight of your studies and not in the mood for any playful banter. he inhaled deeply, adjusting his glasses with his index finger before settling into his chair, sitting with a subtle sense of entitlement.

the silence in the room felt heavy, almost unbearable, as he settled into the chair, creating an unspoken barrier between you. his gaze lingered on you, reading the exhaustion etched on your face, and a spark of concern flickered behind his glasses. the classroom's stillness allowed for a moment of vulnerability-the fluorescent lights hummed quietly overhead, but all you could hear was the soft rhythm of your breaths mingling with the quiet anticipation hanging in the air. You could sense the weight of the day pressing down on both of you.

the stern inquiry hung in the air as he leaned forward, his eyes fixed intently on you, "are you okay?" his voice was firm but laced with a hint of concern. you muttered a quick "yes" in response, your voice barely above a whisper. your eyes darting away from his, unable to meet his gaze. your attention instead shifted to your shoes, as you involuntarily began tapping them against the floor, first on the balls of your heels and then on your toes. His nod of understanding was swift, but his expression remained serious as he continued, "I see you're falling behind in your classes. Have you spoken to a tutor or a classmate about it? Is there something going on that I should be aware of? I'm here to help, if you need someone to talk to." The words were reassuring, but the undertone of expectation remained, his eyes lingering on you, awaiting a response.

he stood up, his eyes fixed on you as he shifted closer, breaking the comfortable distance. “You can talk to me about anything, really,” he said, his voice low and inviting. You fought the urge to lean in, caught in that dangerous space between professionalism and a line you couldn’t take back. the air between you cracked with unspoken words, the tension almost unbearable as you locked eyes, both of you aware of the weight of the moment. Just as it seemed the rest of the world faded away, he took a deep breath, the tension hanging in the air. It felt like you were both on the verge of saying something important—if only one of you would finally speak up.

[redpill-tfs]

Hey, I was talking to some guys that were coming out of a gym about the red pill and they said that it might help me bulk up a bit since I am scrawny. I don't feel well. I think I took the wrong red pill.

That's strange. I do outsource some red pills to some alpha jock bros every once in a while, so it may have been one of them. Let me check the records and see if there's anything there. It will just take me a few moments.

Ah, yeah I see it. This bro found some weak scrawny liberal guy in front of the gym and thought he needed fixing. That must've been you, bro. It looks like you did take the right red pill, but its effects have been delayed slightly. Usually the transformation should be instantaneous. I guess this one is just taking a bit longer.

According to my notes, the bros thought you might need some help fitting in at the gym. They have a certain image they try to uphold, you see. You should be developing a lot of muscle soon. The biggest biceps you've ever seen, combined with absolutely massive pecs. It'll be tough to find any shirts that fit your new size. You'll probably be able to dead lift 400 pounds easily.

That's not to say you skip leg day, of course. Those massive tree trunks prove otherwise. And your feet will grow in size considerably, up to a size 15. I know some guys will absolutely want to sniff 'em. You probably could make loads of money on those homos. As you should. Being in your thirties can get expensive sometimes.

Your tattered clothes will begin to reform themselves to fit your new dudebro persona as you enter the gym. A solid pair of compression shorts and a red t shirt, perfect for working out in. As a bonus, you'll also receive a red hat. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you what it says. It's your favorite slogan after all.

You love wearing that hat, don't you? It shows everyone you mean business and you're not afraid to show your beliefs. Sure you get some looks for it, but fuck those libtards, right? Real men will get the message. That's also why you wear that cross around your neck at all times. What kind of Christian would you be if you didn't show off your faith to everyone? People see you and think "That guy's got it all figured out." They especially love your beard and keep it maintained. The ladies love it!

You head over to the weights as the mental changes kick in more. Your brain slows down a little, not needing a lot of its extra processing power. It's okay though. You'll forget you were ever smart in the first place. You don't need to know much anyway. You only need to focus on a few things anyway for your new life.

Bros, to drink a cold beer with while watching the game. Also someone to spot you while you work out.

Chicks, to fuck of course. Nothing gets you harder than thinking about breeding her and bringing another conservative alpha into the world.

Queers, to stick in their place. They belong under you, a true alpha male, sniffing your feet or sucking you off. No homo, of course.

Faith, to guide your values. You attend church every Sunday without exception. You're on great terms with your pastor, who taught you everything you need to know about being on top.

Trump, to guide your politics. You know RIGHT is right and those communists and illegals just want free stuff from your hard earned money. They may have won some battles in the past, but never the war, and you're excited to see Trump's legacy continue into a second term.

You finish your bench presses, getting ready to meet with your first client of the day. You remember you're a personal trainer at this gym, getting those bros to become even stronger and more dominant.

By the time you get this message, I'm sure the changes will have happened. If that's the case, feel free to ignore this and go about your day, as nothing in this should be new to you. But if you ever see a scrawny looking guy at your gym who looks out of place, I'll send you some red pills just in case. You'll know what to do with them.

I have no idea what's going on..

[pt. I have no idea what's going on.. end pt.]

I think that I might have POTS or something similar. Here are the things that make my life harder/that I noticed:

I can't stand for longer than 30 mins. Sometimes I had to leave our group (of students) and sit somewhere. If I didn't sit, I would faint. On my worse days, I can't stand for a goddamn minute. On the bus/train, I need to find a free seat, otherwise I'll faint.

I feel dizzy and my head hurts when suddenly standing up, especially on my worse days.

My measurements pretty much always say that I have an increased heartbeat and high blood pressure.

I sometimes feel my heartbeat. It's fast and very intense.

I told my parents about it. Their 3 responses:

"You don't excersise enough!" (They tell me this always when I report something)

" Well, it's because of the medicine that you take and we can't do anything about it!!" (Yes, it might be because of medicine, but maybe we can get some supplies that can make my life easier??)

"Don't search up dumb things on the internet!" (phone bad book good)

This is making me tired. I'm afraid to take the bus, because the seats are always taken and I'm afraid to ask for a free seat. I don't "look disabled", I'm not old or pregnant, so I'm afraid of people's reaction..

I will tell this to my psychistrist in my next visit. My parents don't want to make a doctor appointment, because they think that "we can't do anything about it anyways". Even if we can't, maybe there is something that will make my life easier? I don't even have the document about being disabled, because some lady did not want to give it to me for some reason.!

I don't know what's happening. I heard about people with POTS, although their state was way worse than mine. Maybe I have it, but lighter or something else?? I am not a doctor, I don't want to diagnose myself. I have no idea about this kind of stuff.

Today, on geography lesson I wanted to stand to trace the map on my paper. I couldn't. I needed to sit every few seconds, because I was feeling dizzy.

Why am I publishing it here?

Maybe some of you have POTS or know about something similar. I'm not really expecting profesjonal help from random tumblr users, but maybe you guys know what to do in this situation..

Thank you for reading.
