Wedding day

[xx-sketchy-xx]

ok since that last ask ended up already being a thing.. what about sally and poppy hair(?) swap

i think it would be entertaining to see

Both are ok with this, though poppy wishes the edges were less sharp.

also for those who sent me more asks about Wally, do not worry, he is well put together, and with home (but don’t go near home for a while he’s sorta pissed.)

Sunday | Week In Review II

Sunday Week in Review II.

How we all doing?? Did we make it through the week? (I wrote this placeholder start on Monday, future B, I hope you made it through unscathed)

Narrator: In fact, she barely made it through the week unscathed. It was a weird limbo state of a week that she couldn’t quite understand was so quick but so fucking long at the same time…

So as a result, I really didn’t read much this week - you should see my tabs that I have open for my TBR list this week and I have a lot of mentions/reblogs I will be responding to the next couple of days.

Anyway, on with the week in review…

Truly Betty Updates This Week…

Strings Part III (I feel like I hit publish on this six weeks ago, this is how long this week has felt)

Dipped by foot in the Catfish pond this week also...

Stood Up

Flings

Fics I Enjoyed This Week…

Six Sentence Sunday by @gnpwdrnwhiskey I love Sunny & Whiskey any day of the week, but throw in tiny long-eared adorable puppies? *dead*

Delta Landscaping | Chapter 1: Welcome to Torrey Hills by @rhoorl They're here... What an opening chapter! This one introduces us to the Delta boys and where they are post-Colombia and sets up for what I know is going to be a fantastic ride! I also heard that the residents of Mulefall Court (snort) have come to play today...

Working Title by @rhoorl Also started this fic this week by Jess too, only one chapter in but I'm very curious how this is all going to play out. Dieter Bravo and a slow burn? Has my name all over it!

The Layover | Chapter 10by @goodwithcheese I'm ignoring the fact that we're in the home stretch of this story - but it's one that just keeps on giving and this week's update was no different! Also, are you team Jules x Benny or team Jules x Santiago?

Sage by @softlyspector This is part three of the Honeyed series, and I don't know how to sum up in a couple of lines how much this series has touched me. Joel AU where he's a tattoo artist might sound on the surface a little ways out there, but trust me - the characterization stays true and the slow burn here is something else. I've yet to reblog it with my comments as I'm still taking it all in - trust me, there's not been a day this week I've not thought of this series.

First and 10 by @something-tofightfor This was actually a re-read and I was surprised to find I hadn't shared it already. We've had @ladamedusoif with SNL's Mr. Ben, now I introduce you to @something-tofightfor's SNL Wing Pit Daniel. He has lived rent-free in my head since I read it and this one shot, I've lost count of how many times I've gone back to read it.

Things I’m Looking Forward to Starting…

No list this week as I can't keep a lid on my TBR list as it exploded this week with my weird head space - which means a lot hopefully a long list of fanfics read next week! 💕✨

Posts I Enjoyed This Week…

@jomiddlemarch’s TLOU x Ted Lasso master list put together by @tessa-quayle When I first read TLOU crossover with Ted Lasso a couple months back I was a little dubious about how the two would work. But I’m telling you - it works. I also adore the relationship between Joel and Grace, so much so that reading their back and forth it’s easy to forget she’s an OC. Everything @jomiddlemarch does with her OC is what I strive to achieve with my own - a flawless submission into an established world.

Dave York Hip Bounce Honestly? Do I really need to explain this one? 

Things I’ve Enjoyed This Week…

@gnpwdrnwhiskey informing me that there is A HIPPO EMOJI!!! 🦛 <— look at it! 

Finding out You can “rewind” gifs (I refer you back to the Dave York hip bounce post)

Justified (TV Show) - even though I'm not entirely sure what is going on at any given time (I watch while I work), I'm now on season two and Raylan is still shooting an alarming amount of people and I'm shocked by the lack of presence of internal affairs. Also, resisting the urge to talk with a Southern accent, much like the week I spent singing everything I spoke in a cockney accent after watching Sweeny Todd…

This Week’s Song…

This song has eaten up and spat me out since I heard it a couple weeks ago. I’ve not gone a day without playing it on repeat and each time my little brain is blown like it’s the first time.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday and here's to a better week!

Feel free to share your weeks in review, detailed or not, and tag me in it if you do! 💕 xx

Other week in reviews I think you should check out...

@rhoorl's week in review

[sweetsummer-seedling]

Eric,

She's buried and I'm leaving. I'm not gonna try to reach out to you.

I was a shit mom and the minute I realized that I decided to be a coward about it instead of doing anything.

You're a good kid, and you deserved so much more, and I know I can't fix anything, but im not gonna define your future the same way I did your past. You’re always gonna be welcome wherever I am, but you can never talk to me again and I’d find a way to live with that.

You are so much more and so much better than everything I wanted you to be.

Love,

Martha.

Bye bitch lol!

I've made a decision

And I'm gonna document my new journey on The Sims 4 bc it seems fun to tell random people what I'm doing and I really need a reason to have fun otherwise I'll overwork myself again and we don't want that (further explanations about this on another day). Also, it keeps me creative 🧚🏻

Anyway

Meet Lady Aruna Claire.

No special meanings behind her name, I just went for wtv I could think of unusual of me.

Mostly used basic game stuff, aside from some skin details ig, one of them is from @simandy and I GUESS I used smth from @pralinesims but can't recall (maybe a lipstick? donno, maybe on another outfit). No editions on the pics bc i work and have no time lol

Hope you like her, she'll be around for a while now

[cringefailfagcat]

welcome to 2024. happy year of newness and all that. love you guys

[natkhat-sa-shyam]

she was there when no one's with me. In my downfall she gave me her hand and always supported me emotionally. Aur aaj jab sab ku6 hai paisa, govt. job sab ku6 hai par wo nahi hai. It really hurts when i think about her support. Paisa hone par to har koi paas ata hai but she was there when i don't have anything to provide. Aur aaj use dene k liye sab ku6 hai but wo nahi hai.

So for all those if u hv that true kindaa love. Never let them go. Apne circumstances and conditions ko kabhi uspe havi mat hone do.

palazzo serenzo , via degli archi , 12 florence , italy .

background : palazzo serenzo is a historical building from the 15th century . the di conti family , a prestigious and one of the most prominent noble families in florence , commissioned the architect leonardo de'amici . the thing about the di conti family is , there isn't much known about them . their family is a closely guarded secret , where only a known select few know of their true identities . thus using their title to serve as a symbol of their noble lineage and historical significance in florence .

their family can only be traced back to wealthy merchants who amassed great wealth and power through their successful trading ventures . with their wealth , the di conti family became influential patrons of the arts , supporting renowned artists , architects , and scholars at the time . they were known for the passion for collecting rare artifacts ( some of which mia is in possession of today . ) they commissioned elaborate frescos , hosted lavish gatherings at their palazzo , which became a hub of cultural and intellectual exchange .

the di conti family played a pivotal part in the political landscape of florance , often holding positions of influence and participating in key decision - making processes . they were esteemed for their diplomatic skills , strategic alliances , and their commitment to perserving the city's cultural heritage .

mia's residency in the ancestral palazzo of the di conti family represents a continuation of their legacy , as she findes herself surrounded and enamored by the remnants of a bygone era .

the apartment : mia bought the two upper floors of pallazzo serenzo during a time of transformation . she had just returned to public life after a year and a half underground . it was during this time that she was working as the fixer . the apartment contains four bedrooms , one including the large master bedroom , two bathrooms , a large eat - in kitchen with a seprate formal dining room . a library with hundreds of books adorning the bookcases . a more traditional armory that hold some 15th century military artifacts and then some . with the captivating blend of historical charm and timeless elegance , mia's apartment begins at the entrance , with a heavy wooden double door , leading to a long hallway that showcases the first fresco ( a celestial panorama , one with a rich night sky , adorned with twinkling stars and constellations . with a radiant full moon and surrounding it some etherial figures of mythological creatures . ) another fun fact about the di conti family is that they were catholic , but believed in science too . some believe that the patriarch of the family was an astronomer .

the hallway holds a few artifacts and paintings that mia has collected over the years . tall windows lining the left side , with dark wooden panels that are opened most of the year . the living room is further down the hall and to the right , it is adorned with more frescos that grace the walls - mia kept the walls a more neutral tone , a warmer white so that the antiques and art work can hold presence there . there is a large , antique persian rug that graces the rich , dark hardwood floors . off to the right is the formal dining room , where a refurbished farmhouse table sits in the center of the room . it can host around eight to ten people . the kitchen resides further on , and mia opted to keep the utilities more modern here , although attempting to keep up with the rustic vibes that was there originally . considering she lives on the upper floors , the original kitchen is on the ground floor , so she had options .

the four bedrooms are divided , with the master bedroom on the ' first floor ' . mia created a warm and comforting room , oping for a four - poster bed , crafted from aged mahogany . the bed is dressed with layers of linen sheets and fluffy pillows . she has a vanity table on the other side of the room , which is also where her walk - in closet is situated . there she has an ornate gilded mirror , which is brass and also an antique . throughout the apartment , among the many artifacts and vintage art , there are a few chandelier's which hang from the tall ceilings . all of which are designed to emulate the glow of candlelight and create an enchanting atmosphere in the evenings .

** below mia lives an elderly couple , luciano and maria amato . luciano is a retired professor of literature and maria who was more of a traditional housewife . they both are friendly , inviting , charming and of course - full of wisdom and humor . **

Sleepy

[drabbly-babbly]

when i wake up

it’s a normal day

sun flowing through my sheer curtains

golden hair strewn across my pillow

but that relaxation does not last

there is something different about this day

i can feel it in the tightness of my abdomen

in the light pressure behind my eyes

in the aching over every inch of my limbs

already weary despite just waking up

but i pull myself out of bed

i get myself ready for the day ahead

i build my armor

every pad, every trouser, every loosely hanging shirt

layered to create a picture of comfort

pain corseted by loungewear

and i march myself out of the door into the day

into the building made of stress and tests and stunted joy

my prison for the next seven hours

the day goes by almost as normal

the discomfort about my stomach more physical than mental

the pain distracts from my hate

and there’s the same smile on my face

a mask to avoid uncomfortable questions and concerns

perfected down to every crinkle at my eye’s edge

equipped a little tighter than normal in preparation

and the moment comes

a few hours into the day

sitting at my desk with a big bright smile on my face

as sunny as the fluorescent lights that have been blinding me all day

the moment comes

i can feel the build up

or rather the break down

the release

the fall

my body lets go

my armor works just as well for wounds that come from within

and the smile remains on my face

I'm very bored and wikipedia has a list of TV schedules in the United States from 1949 onwards. Put these together, and I'm going to write a list of shows from each decade I would like. Since it's dull work, I'll just focus on these specific years: 1949-1950, 1950-1951, 1955-1956, 1959-1960, 1961-1962, 1965-1966, 1968-69, 1970-71, 1974-75, 1978-79, 1980-81, 1984-85, 1988-89, 1990-91 and 1994-1995. So fifteen tv seasons. If I chip away at this whenever I'm bored, we may get somewhere. I already did the 1950-1951 season, after all.
