IWTV INSP Build Mode Dump

I used these in my NOLA 1132 Rue Royale gameplay way back in 2022, and never got around to sharing them, oops.

IIRC the Chinoiserie Wallpapers are non-recolorable, but come in 2 variations of normal & albino peacocks.

I forgot what I changed about the Master Suites SP Fireplace. Probably the RGBY channels. Plus it's basegame compatible now.

And ofc you can see the Herringbone patterns, which I love using on floors. Has 3 RBG channels. Found under Wood.

IWTV INSP Buy Mode Dump & Lestat CAS Miniset

Random CC I've been using:

I separated & retextured AikeaGuinea's Sordid Cassette Tapes, and made them stackable. IDER which category they're in--use LazyDuchess' Search Mod like god intended!

"There's a GOBLET on the table!" No worries, it's only decorative & fully recolorable--the "blood" inside is fake. (In that gif you can obvs see the Gramsims Feathers as ACC--tuxedo not included, sorry. Found under Bracelets, Everyday - Outerwear, fully recolorable. And you can also see Lorandia's Rings Male Right, which I redid to only keep 4 of the 8 original rings.)

The Clapperboard comes in 2 non-recolorable variations.

The decor Vinyl Record is fully recolorable and stackable (variations come with and without the Vampire Lestat VL logo).

I made Simsimi's Kimono ACC sheer (& unisex). Found under Necklaces, fit/fat morphs, Everyday - Outerwear, fully recolorable.

The TS4 to TS3 Dining Out Candle Table Light is fully recolorable.

IWTV INSP Dubai Wall Art

Louis' Basquiat painting:

Marius' Temptation of Amadeo Painting:

Armand's (stolen) Rembrandt & Louis' Transformation paintings:

IWTV INSP Theatre des Vampires Ads

I retextured the red EA Paving Fan Cobblestone Terrain Paint Grey. Found under Stone/Rock/whatever it's called.

Baby Lulu (AMR Dollhouse Blocks) RETEX (Decor & End Table). (IIRC I had to use OMSP resizers on these.)

"Who's that handsome man on the wall?" The Devil Brat Prince himself! Lestat's Portrait, found under Wall Art.

IWTV INSP KHD Morris Column RETEXTURED, Posters 1 & 2 all have the same variations, mixed with AMC's posters and the IRL posters from Grand Guignol Theatre AMC used as inspo.

Theatre des Vampires Wall Decal, recolorable.

IWTV INSP Marquee Wall Light, recolorable, comes in multiple variations. (IIRC I gave the bulbs the fullbright shader so they always glow, but I may just be sleep deprived, IDER.)

TS4 to TS3 Neon Letters VAMPIRES

Neon Letter V, A, M, P, I, R, E, S (only!)

Fully recolorable, found under Wall Lights. (IIRC I gave these the fullbright shader so they always glow, but I may just be sleep deprived, IDER.)

IWTV INSP Claudia CAS Miniset

The Grue SilkySunflower Mashup Hair is a frankenmesh of Grue's Sunflower hair and Grue's Silk hair. IIRC, uses the same recolor channels. Everyday - Outerwear, Teen - AF, etc etc. I redid the Peggyzone Bag ACC cuz the original wasn't showing up in my game. Recolorable, found under Bracelets, Everyday - Outerwear, blahblah.

IWTV INSP Mods Dump

I made the Edible Raw Fish tuning mod for 3 reasons:

Not ALL raw fish are edible for werewolves (inc. crocodiles)--thanks a lot, EA

I needed my loup-garou/Swamp!Lestat to be able to actually eat the crocodiles on my bayou lot

OF COURSE I needed a way for Saint Louis to gulp down fish instead of killing sims (especially in my IWTV Mersim AU)

Naturally, for raw fish to fill the Vampire Thirst need, my mod REQUIRES Nona's Custom Food Script at MTS.

I made yet another EA book texture default replacement, this time with EA Book Overrides for IWTV. Browse here for the in-game swatches.

There are A LOT of books in TS3, so I tried to match Anne Rice's books (including but not limited to just her vampire books), plus a couple non-Anne Rice vampire books, to TS3′s particular genres:

I retextured EverlastingGarden's Books as a functional Bookshelf to match some of the IWTV EA Book Overrides, so it could look like sims were really pulling those books off the shelf to read. Browse the 3 swatches here.

IWTV INSP Theatre des Vampires Lot

IWTV INSP TdV Community Lot (No Visitors Allowed) for LIBRARY folder (64x64 lot IIRC--maaaaybe 50x50?)

+ CC MERGED file (for PACKAGES folder)

+ Decor People MERGED file (for PACKAGES folder)

I've hit Tumblr's photo limit, so for in-game pics of the lot, see my posts here & here.

As a rule, Granthe's OMSP and Buhudain's OMSP Resizers are REQUIRED. I didn't include them in the Merged CC file, just in case.

[wondersinwaynemanor]

some petty scenarios between the Wayne kids just to annoy the other (or more like get some attention, even though they won't admit it).

Tim: You know I hate your paintings, Dami. They're too colorful and too bright. They're too... Ugh.. Good. And... And... Maybe find another hobby? It's getting annoying.

Damian: You know what's a nuisance, Drake? You.

Tim: Not as annoying as your -

Damian: Keep talking nonsense, Drake, and I'll be asking for the portrait I did of you and Kent.

Tim, wraps an arm on Damian's shoulder: Heyyyy, I was kidding. All good, Dami.

---

Jason: Remember when you had the long hair, Goldie?

Dick: And I want to have that hair again.

Steph: I wish I was there to see it in person. You slayed, Dick!

Dick, flutters his lashes: Oh, you didn't need to say that, Steph.

Jason, scoffs: Ha? That long hair slayed? It was too shiny, it stung my eyes. No, no--it blinded some rogues. You don't want that to happen to you, right, Steph?

Dick, pouts: What are you talking about, Little Wing???? You even said you wanted a hair like mine!!!

Jason: I was young and made bad decisions. Of course, you all know that by now.

Steph: Jason doesn't know what he's talking about. Have the long hair again, Dick!

Dick, huffs: I'm glad I got a supporter.

---

Steph, groans: I can't focus!!!

Steph can't see Cass' face with her cowl on but she knows Cass is giving her a questioning look.

Steph: You're too distracting, okay?

Cass continues to stare at Steph.

Steph, whispers: You're wearing the perfume I really like.

Cass, tilts her head: Okay. I won't use-

Steph, gasps: Who told you to do that???

---

Jason, tries to enjoy his toast and tea in peace: Maybe try to open the drawer harder, Timbo? I'm sure it will be broken then.

Tim, opening the refrigerator doors this time with extra force, raises his voice: What was that, Jay???

Jason: Are you serious? It's too early.

Tim, gets a cup of coffee: Not my fault you're in the kitchen. Go and eat in your room. You're not the only person in this house.

Jason, raises his brows at him: What's your fucking problem??

Tim: Nothing.

proceeds to steal the fruit that's on Jason's plate.

Jason: Seriously?????

proceeds to grab Tim's cup of coffee on his hand and chugs on it.

Tim: You're an animal!!!

Jason: So are you!!!

Alfred, by the kitchen door, pinches the bridge of his nose: Oh, should the young masters must really be shouting this early?

---

Duke: Do you need anything else, Dick?

Dick, grins: Nope, nope. Carry on, Second Little D.

Duke: I can't really help you with your bike if you're singing loudly right in my ear.

Dick, blushes: Oops, sorry. I'll keep quiet.

Duke, chuckles: No, it's okay. Just don't do it right in my ear. I need my hearing.

meanwhile, Damian plays a video in the Batcomputer in a high volume.

Dick, shouts from across the cave: Dami, maybe lower the volume?

Damian, shouts back: Tt. It's a tactic to cover up your singing, Grayson. And Thomas, I need your help with-

Dick: I still need him with my bike, Dami!

Damian: You've had him for the past three hours, Grayson!

Dick: And so???

Damian: And so, I need his assistance with something.

Duke, scratches the back of his neck: Maybe I can help you both later. It's time for me to call Izzy anyways-

Dick and Damian at the same time: Wait, no!

[midnightmah07]

Happy birthday to my oc: Perse Achillea!!

"As a lover of art myself I am very much looking forward to this museum's centenary... Come. I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff to see."

"It's foolish to try and open yourself to someone like that, poor girl's gonna get her heart broken... Not that I care. It's her fault anyway."

Happy birthday to my baby, Perse<33 I didn't write any vignettes because I didn't feel like writing BUT I made voice lines and a duo magic dialogue between her and Cater<33

Voice lines:

🪻: I wasn't prepared for just how absolutely grand and majestic this place is... Wow.

🪻: wha- hey, stop tugging on my sleeve, I don't want you getting my jacket all wrinkled, 'kay?

🪻: goodness me... Wait here, I think Mimosa (Cater -> mimosa is a type of flower that means "I hide my feelings") forgot his phone's flash on.

🪻: the King of The Underworld is so similar yet so different from Idia... Heh. I assume he was probably way more pleasurable to be around though (laughs).

🪻: imagine falling for a 'hero' whose only quality was his strength, talk about poor taste in men... The King of the Underworld's assistant should've been ashamed. But then again, I don't think I have the right to talk.

🪻: is that...? (Sighs) please don't tell me Aster (Kalim -> aster is a flower, its white version means "I love you more than you love me!") is trying to convince Ortho to drag us to another party after this... I cannot eat nearly anything because I'm vegan...

🪻: have you seen Dahlia (Vil -> dahlias are a type of flower that symbolize perseverance and determination) around? I want to take a picture of him and the Fairest Queen's portrait. It'll be my most prized possession.

🪻: this outfit is so absolutely stunning! I really do hope they let us keep it, I would love to wear it once again.

🪻: hm? You saw a painting of hyenas overpowering The King of Beasts...? (Smirks) oh, please do show, I would just love to share such image with Calendula (Leona -> calendulas are a type of flower that symbolizes insecurity, jealousy and anxiety).

🪻: Mimosa got me these really cute stickers of The Great Seven. I wonder where I should put them...

🪻: oops, sorry 'bout that. Weak ankles and stuff.

🪻: all these paintings are so detailed... What? You're curious about my art abilities? Nah, most I can do is a stick figure, my strength is in acting.

DUO:

Perse: let's go, Mimosa!

Cater: at your service, Persie!

Drag Superstar Episode 4: The Haunting of Hell House on Haunted Hill

[The queens enter the workroom]

Bridget/Vapore: Congratulations to Velvet on winning the photoshoot challenge!

Darren/Velvet: With a face like this, it was inevitable!

Michael B./Jacqueline: Why couldn’t it have been you with the hurt ankle?

[Everyone laughs]

Michael D./Lady Astrid: Valerie, how are you feeling? 

David/Valerie: I’m disappointed that I didn’t give the challenge my all.

Michael B./Jacqueline: That’s not the Valerie I know! You’ve gotta pick yourself up and do what you came here to do!

David/Valerie: [in a confessional] I came very close to going home last night. If I can’t keep my focus, I might not be so lucky next time.

Diamond: [entering the work room] Well, helloooooooo my queens! I know we’re all shocked by Vixen’s departure due to an injury, but the show goes on! Today you’ll be scaring up the drama in a horror feature called “The Haunting of Hell House on Haunted Hill.” I’ll be directing you on set, so be spooky and don’t forget to make me laugh!

[The queens are assigned their roles and begin rehearsing. Michael B. sees that David is struggling and takes him aside for a chat]

Michael B./Jacqueline: Okay, Valerie, what gives? It’s not like you to be so distracted.

David/Valerie: I know, I just can’t stop worrying about how things are going at home. I’m not used to being away from my kids and husband. 

Michael B./Jacqueline: You’re such a good dad, though. I’m sure your kids will be fine without you.

David/Valerie: I wish I could be sure of that. [crying] It’s just hard being here and not knowing what’s going on.

David/Valerie: [in a  confessional] My kids are good kids, but my son has been heading down the wrong path. [beginning to cry] You do the best you can for your kids, but sometimes it feels like your best isn’t enough.

[The queens get ready and head to the set for filming]

David/Valerie: [in character as Stacy] Now look at what you’ve done! You’ve awakened the–the…[breaking character] I’m sorry, I forgot my lines again.

Diamond: One more try and then we’ll have to move on.

David/Valerie: I’m sorry everyone. I’ll try to get it together.

Michael B./Jacqueline: You’ve got this!

[On the main stage, the final version of “The Haunting of Hell House on Haunted Hill” is shown]

Darren/Velvet: [in character as Beverly] Gee Stacy, having a costume party on the night a crazed serial killer is on the loose sure was a great idea!

David/Valerie: [in character as Stacy] You’re right, Beverly! And it’s even better that we’re having it in the haunted house my grandparents left me. I just hope that no one touches that cursed vase over there.

Bridget/Vapore: [in character as Maria] You mean this cursed vase? [reaches for the vase]

All: Maria, no!

David/Valerie: [in character as Stacy] Now look what you’ve done! You’ve awakened the evil spirit inside the vase! Michael B./Jacqueline: [in character as Didi] And look! Your grandfather's portrait turned into a scary but kind of sexy werewolf!

Bridget/Vapore: [in character as Maria] Oops!

Michael D./Lady Astrid: [in character as Brittany] Um, something’s coming this way! And it’s big!

[A large figure emerges from the shadows as everyone screams]

All: Yamachan???

Yamachan: [giggling] Yes, it’s me, Yamachan! I just stopped by to remind you all that my new movie Yamachan’s Big Adventure is heading to theaters soon! Don't miss it!

All: [laughing] Oh, Yamachan!

[The judges clap]

Diamond: Fantastic work! Judges, what did you think of “The Haunting of Hell House on Haunted Hill”?

Izzy: Everyone was so good that even I’m having a hard time finding fault with it!

Penny: You were all very funny, but Vapore really nailed her role! 

Diego: This group is really the best of the best. I don’t envy Diamond having to decide who goes home tonight.

Diamond: We’re really going to have to get down to the wire with this. It’s going to come down to the finer details. I will say that even though it didn't show in the final cut, Valerie was having a hard time remembering her lines in rehearsal.   Izzy: And wasn't she in the running for elimination last week? Penny: That's true, but I see a lot of potential in Valerie. I don't think it's her time to go yet.

Diego: Then who else do you think deserves to go home tonight?

Penny: I--I don't know.

I’ve made my decision. Vapore Lawave, you are the winner of this week’s challenge! Valerie Galloway, I’m sorry but it’s not your time to shine. You will be going home tonight.

Artistic Intrest

Tech x reader

Word count: 807 words

Summary: While on a supply run, Tech discovers your interest in art.

Warnings: None just fluff (let me know if there's anything I missed)

A/n: This is my first fanfic, so it may be a bit cringey, and the dialogue may seem off. I do accept constructive criticism because I want to improve, but I don't accept disrespect. This is also my first time writing Tech, so he may seem a bit off.

It was a chaotic week. The job Cid gave us was difficult, and we all needed some rest. Unfortunately, rations were low, so a supply run was necessary. Hunter said that two people should go since there wasn't much to pick up, so there was no need for everyone to go. You volunteered, and luckily for you, Tech chose to accompany you. Tech the man you've slowly grown to love in a different way than how you loved the others. You begrudgingly accepted your feelings after realizing they weren't planning to leave anytime soon.

You and Tech dress in civi clothes and walk towards the nearby town. Tech decides to fill the empty space with his curious thoughts as you walk. You were so invested in his words that you barely realized you two were in town.

You looked around in wonder. It's been so long since you've seen a place as calm as this. Little did you know Tech was also in awe of the environment, particularly how the lights enhance your charm.

You two wandered the market looking for food stands. Maybe you could find some ingredients to make homemade food instead of flavorless rations. But before you could ponder that thought you caught a glimpse of paintings hung on a stand. You stopped to try to get a better view of the illustrations.

Tech stopped confused by your sudden action. He noticed you were looking at something. He turns expecting to see some sort of potential threat but calms to find nothing dangerous. Instead, finding art hung on a stand. He sees your desire to get a better view, so he asks if you'd like to go closer.

Excited, you squeal a yes before grabbing his hand and heading over.

Wait, grabbing his hand? Tech pondered. You must've been very excited.

You, with Tech in hand, over to the stand. The painting that catches your eye is one of a bright sky gradient with a lake and a cabin. The detail was incredible, and the artwork appeared to be made of oil paint.

As you examined the work, Tech couldn't help but see the admiration sparkling in your eyes.

The owner of the stand then walked up to you and struck up a conversation.

"You like the painting?"

"Yes, I do. It is wonderful!" you reply.

"Why, thank you! I painted it myself."

"Really! It's beautiful. You captured the tranquility of the forest perfectly!"

"Well, are ya gonna buy it?"

You quickly deny saying that you were only looking since it must've been out of your

budget. The clerk hums in understanding them

walks off to speak to other customers. You continued to look at the other canvases.

There were many portraits and landscape paintings. They were each painted using a different medium. Each is skillfully created.

Each with their own story of how and why they were made. Each symbolizing something important to the artist. As Tech observed you, he found your

appreciation for art endearing. Although, he does not recall a time when you had expressed much interest in such works. Sure, you'd bring it up here and there, but never had you shown how thrilling you found it. He

couldn't help but wonder why.

You finally snapped out of the trance and realized just how exhausted you were.

"Let's finish the supply run. Why don't we." You suggest.

Tech agrees, and you two begin to walk when you realize that your fingers are still

interlocked with Tech's. "Oops, sorry Tech I… I forgot I grabbed your hand." You laugh off.

"It is alright."

You two continue to walk, picking up everything on the list.

You both begin your walk home when Tech

begins a conversation. "The paintings seemed to catch your eye," he begun, "I do wonder why you hadn't brought up this interest before?"

"Well," you took a second to think, "I guess I never really had to bring it up.. you know."

"Is it something you do not enjoy speaking of?"

"No! I like to talk about this stuff! I just..." He looks at you expectantly. "Don't really know people who wanna talk about this stuff," you mumble.

A silence falls over you two.

"Then I have not done a good job in showing my interest."

"What?"

"I would like to hear what you have to say."

" Really!”

"Yes, I would."

You finally had an opportunity to share your knowledge with a willing listener, and we're not going to waste it.

You began talking about different techniques and mediums, which ones you favor, and answered any questions he had. Time flew by fast for both of you, and you were nearing the Marauder.

Tech was fascinated with your enthusiasm on this topic. He knew then and there that he wanted to listen to you more and more after this.

A/n: Thanks for reading! I hope you guys are willing to check out my future works.

[randomfandomss]

I mean if Rolin said that the main reason they wouldn’t show Daniel’s tuning is because it would mean they’d have to re-build a set they’re not going to re-build because it’s too much effort/$$$… that’s him also confirming that Daniel’s turning DID happen in Dubai/the penthouse. Otherwise it wouldn’t be an issue and they could show it in S3 but like, he said it *because* that’s where it happened, unless I’m missing something 🤔

Oops sorry, I guess I didn't remember the whole comment but I still strongly feel it's such bs. He is definitely trolling us.

First of all, he literally can't and shouldn't be telling us what happened or didn't happen.

On top of that the reason is kinda lame according to me. They couldn't film because the set has been destroyed? Come onn. I don't think so. They could've filmed and then destroyed the set then maybe.

If they won't show us Daniel's turning then it must be because it is important for the way the story unfolds. If that is so, then I'm excited to see what's the reason.

From what I can gauge, Rolin and co. respect the story too much to not show such important moments they know the fans are dying to see. They simply won't do that and if they do, it must be due to strong reasons.

Also I feel it would be a bit sudden if Louis moves to some other place in the beginning of s3 after finally have carved out a space for himself in the Dubai penthouse. After decorating it, putting up Paul's portrait and Claudia's dress.

I think that place, at this point, holds a lot of meaning to not come into picture at all at any point in the future.

[echoesofwisdomcountup]

101 Days Since Echoes of Wisdom Release. I finished Eow yesterday and wow did I adore that ending. So now I must continue going bit by bit through my playthrough screenshots. I ended up missing some things so I'll have to go back and complete them. There was a Great Fairy that I straight up missed. Oops.

Back to Eldin, did I mention that I think Darston is a fun character. A little guy with big shoes to fill. Also a secret passage in the Chief's room is absolutely something Loz has done before. I just can't remember which game(s) it was. Anyway...

I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS TO HAPPEN!! I thought the portrait would like fall over and lie on the ground not just shatter into pieces. I broke it I'm so sorry Darston.

I liked this character development. Darston sacrificing his nuggets of wisdom tablet and gaining a little bit more confidence by going through this mini adventure with us. He really learned through a small crisis. Good for him.

I changed into the red tunic outfit I got from one of my amiibo. It just felt right for Eldin of all places. Also the triangles behind Tri have circle shadows for some reason... a small oversight maybe?

So Zelda's bed has two pillows. Sleeping in the 2D areas is kinda funny looking for some reason. But I hadn't noticed this bed had two pillows until this moment. Explains why Zelda heals so fast in this one.

Having the rock right above my head was ominous and hilarious at the same time. But it worked and the fire from above couldn't touch me. I felt very wise for this one.

Legit right before I walked into this room I said to my partner, "Huh I haven't seen Dark Link in a while. Wonder if he's gonna show up again or not at all." Then boom. Speak of the Link. Though, this pretty much confirmed that I was probably supposed to do this area before Mt. Lanyru and Faron Wetlands. Such is life. I went in a slightly unintended order. This wouldn't be the first time since in Botw I did the Rito area last while so many others seem to have done that first.

Ok that's it for today!

[fairie-bread]

im so sorry if u have answered this somewhere but im sooooo curious to know ur digital art setup owo like what program/brushes/process 🙈🙈 it's just that ur portraits r so gorgeous and lifelike i am always stunned

- @mousemannation

hi!! tysm for the question and sorry for the late reply, i was away from my computer all day </33

this is actually such good timing bc i just happened to record a speedpaint of my latest painting!! tbh i'm so bad at describing my process bc i usually just black out for a few hours and when i wake up there's a little tennis guy on the canvas sooo i hope this will help somewhat!!

(sorry for such a long video, i already had to speed it up almost 4000% and cut out entire sections to even get it down to this length.. also i forgot to record a couple of hours of work oops 😭)

as for programs etc, i use photoshop cs6 and my brushes are (i think?) all from Kyle T Websters' packs; i use his "ultimate charcoal pencil" brush for lineart and sketching, and the "oil flat delicate" brush for painting. this last one has been an absolute lifesaver bc i used to rlly struggle with painting, but this brush is super satisfying to use and blends so well so it really helps with getting those subtle hue variations down 🙏🙏

thank u so so much and hopefully this was helpful?? lmk if you have any more questions, i'm always keen to talk about art hehe

redux au! sorry for not making it clear🫣 oops

Oh! Okay okay... I see what you meant now.

In short: Mario ended up landing directly in the center of Evershade Valley after he and Luigi got separated in the warp pipe. He tried taking shelter in Gloomy Manor after getting attacked by malicious ghosts, but after he discovered the "portrait room" he himself got caught by Boolosus, slapped into a painting, and hung up on the wall.

No journey involved. King Boo keeps close tabs on all his new portraits and what they look like through word of mouth, but he hadn't actually seen Mario face-to-face until part 3.

Prince Jenson of Somerset

+ process & lore

Yayyyyy omg finally have drawn portraits of the four main characters!!!! I'll show the process of Jenson's first and then them all four together. Though it's a shame the Seb/Fernando ones are older, I think it's hopefully obvious how much I've improved since November?

Look at him in all his handsome, princely glory 🥹 It's funny, I'm always happy with the second sketch and initial lineart, and then I start coloring it and I absolutely hate it, and it takes a significant amount of time into the painting for me to like it again. And then I reach a certain point and I'm in love with it again. Ugh though I gotta say, I love drawing the curls, it's just so 18th century, but at the same point, man I always will love my original lineart for the hair the best ah. Also yes I absolutely had to give him a big ass hat with feathers, he really is that kinda guy to me. I originally drew a bicorne and then realized that those don't really exist until basically almost a century later oops, so tricorne it is!!

Okay now omg look at them all together 🥹

Haha wow I have improved a lot! Just like the Seb/Fernando ones, Mark and Jense's were meant to be put together. I think there's a lot of inherent characterization in their poses that highlight the difference between them. Mark is looking up, very wistful, looking up to greater people, greater things. Jenson's head is tilted down, almost looking at the viewer, he is very satisfied with his role and revels in it, he's here to slay!

Okay, yes, lore, characterization, sorry that it is so far down on the post!!

Jense would probably be the fan favorite if this AU was an actual book or show or something. He's the guy you randomly find while browsing Wikipedia and you're like, woah this guy is so cool??? Unlike Sebmarknando, he doesn't really have the same level of angst, he's kinda just chilling. He's a bit harder to write a lore post about, because he's basically that character who is always magically around the corner, ready to witness some crazy thing and just breeze past it.

He is less linked to Seb than people like Mark and Fernando, because he's basically just his personal minister of transportation(read: horse fucker), so he avoids a lot of the relationship complications and drama, but that isn't to say he's completely uninvolved. He really likes Seb, and loves to hang around with him and serve him, but he's not as beholden to him. He's who everyone goes to air their grievances or to get away from the others, and he's very happy with this role. He's generally willing to play any side in an argument, but does tend to have a pretty big soft spot for Seb overall(Seb also gives him cuteness aggression, and he wants to bite him. Especially when Seb puffs himself up and acts super bratty when he gets offended at not being seen as a proper ruler.)

He's royalty from other kingdom, but pledged his loyalty to Seb's kingdom when he was quite young and has served him(his father first) ever since. He started off somewhat low in the military, rose to a pretty high rank, was a renowed war hero, and then ended up retiring pretty early to tend to Seb's horses. That's an oversimplification, but yeah. He liked the military life, was very good at it, but decided he had done enough, and wanted to be involved in more direct service, albeit more laid back. As I mentioned in Mark's post, Mark *really* doesn't understand his choice to do this, because if Mark had been in Jense's position, he can't ever imagine being able to let all that go and living the quiet life.

He is the palace whore, everyone has been with him honestly. It'll be like, some man walks into his bedroom, only to see Jenson in bed with his wife, but instead of being angry, he's like "wow you couldn't even wait for me??" He's just very carefree, and happy to just slut around and tend to Seb's horses.

I think he definitely still advises Seb, and would go to battle if truly need be, but generally seems to be living in a different world than the weird psychosexual homoerotic political drama that the others seem to be living in. But as I said, it's not like he doesn't contribute to it! He loves to goad Fernando, and constantly plays devil's advocate in "debates" between Fernando and Seb. He's also obviously the one that keep "accidentally" locking them in rooms and forgetting where the key is.

Sorry if this isn't very explanatory, I hope it gives a general idea to the type of character he is???? As always, let me know if you have any questions! I kinda struggled on what to write here because I'm finishing this at almost 8 am 😭 so I'm not sure if it's great or not. But basically you need to know: horse fucker who is generally breezy and carefree but also can be a bit of a menace to society every once in a while.

More than enough

excerpt:

Ian smears Anthony's face green, and Anthony squishes the last of the yellow paint into Ian's hair.

"Okay enough!" Ian commands. "Not the hair, dude. Never the hair. Respect the 'do.

"I'm sorry, I got a little carried away," Anthony confesses. "Let's get cleaned up."

They both go into the shower. Ian isn't sure. They have never showered together before. But then again they have never been THIS dirty.

Ian is over at Anthony's place. They are painting together, each making their own piece of art.

Ian keeps smiling while glancing over at Anthony. It's because his best friend is finally, after all these years, taking the time to enjoy something that doesn't immediately relate to work.

"You're getting good at this," he compliments his bestie.

"I think you might be right!" A proud expression forms on Anthony's face. He looks at his painting. "I'm developing a style, I think. I have found my favorite colors at least."

Ian continues his own painting. It's a car. A red Corvette, to be more specific.

"Did you see Amanda's holiday pictures?" Ian asks off-handedly.

"You mean the hundreds of pictures of the same ice cream shop, beach and her in a hammock? No I'm afraid she'll have to send more pictures to entice me to look."

They both laugh. It is late in the afternoon and golden rays of sunlight play in Anthony's curls. Watching that golden display, Ian's eyes widen and his brows raise just a tiny bit.

Anthony turns to look at him at him, and he quickly looks away. Back to his painting.

"So, how do you feel?" Ian asks the simple question, but a lot of meaning lies behind it.

"Yeah. Good. I feel pretty good. Struggling, but you know."

"Yeah, I know."

Anthony has been going through it mentally the last couple of months. After the sheer euphoria of reuniting as classic Smosh, reality is setting in for the both of them.

They are great friends, that much is true. But they have come to the conclusion that juggling New Smosh AND Pressalike is taking too much out of Anthony.

They have argued about it. Anthony insisted that he was fine, that he could handle it. But Ian wasn't going to lose his friend again.

"Please, Anthony. For once! Choose to put yourself first, for fuck's sake!"

And Anthony finally folded. He is taking it easy for now. Being in a few videos here and there, nothing too much. Only stuff he wants to be in.

"Oops!" Ian laughs as he spills red paint all over his hands and it droops onto the floor.

"Oh no!" Anthony giggles. It is such a familiar sound to Ian. Anthony has sounded like this ever since they giggled about poop in sixth grade.

They clean up the mess on the ground together but then Ian smirks mischievously and wipes his dirty hands on Anthony's shirt.

"Hey! Aww Ian you didn't! I'm gonna get you for this..." Anthony splatters blue paint on Ian, messing up his painting.

"My Lighning McQueen portrait!" Oh, it's on. They both squirt bottles at each other, getting increasingly covered in paint.

Ian smears Anthony's face green, and Anthony squishes the last of the yellow paint into Ian's hair.

"Okay enough!" Ian commands. "Not the hair, dude. Never the hair. Respect the 'do.

"I'm sorry, I got a little carried away," Anthony confesses. "Let's get cleaned up."

They both go into the shower. Ian isn't sure. They have never showered together before. But then again they have never been THIS dirty.

To his surprise, Anthony is already undressing. Right in front of him. "Come on, let's get this mess off!" Anthony says with a warm smile.

Ian swallows. He meekly tugs no his own ruined sweater. But Anthony helps him out of it. Anthony is topless and Ian involuntarily looks at the intricate drawings on his torso. He blushes. How can somebody look so maddeningly beautiful?

"Come on, Ian, I'll help get the paint out of your hair. I shouldn't have messed it up." Anthony looks apologetic. He also pulls off his boxers. Ian looks extremely hard into another direction, any direction but his best friend's big dick.

He undresses, there really is nothing he can do about it. The water is already running. He steps in next to Anthony. The warmth of his friend's body feels overwhelming and intoxicating.

Two hands massage his hair. He sees the yellow flush down the drain.

"There we go," Anthony says in a voice Ian has never heard before. A soft-spoken, intimate tone. That together with more massaging his scalp, and gently wiping the paint away from his neck, his shoulders, his back... Ian lets out a loud burp. "Cheers!" Anthony comments, giggling again.

Anthony gets them both towels and gives Ian some of his clothes.

"Black really suits you, did you know that?"

Ian looks down at his, or rather Anthony's socks. "Yeah, whatever dude..."

"I mean it," Anthony insists.

"Anthony are you sure there isn't something in the paint because you're acting weird. Showering with me, giving me compliments, what has gotten into you? Where is my best friend?" He says it as a joke but Anthony looks at him, concerned.

"I'm right here, Ian, I'm right here." His voice is low, urgent. "I'm never leaving you again, never."

"I know, Anthony. I know. And you don't have to keep proving yourself to me. Please, bro. It's kind of stressful."

Anthony’s lip quivers. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, every day... I just love you so much..."

"You don't have to be sorry! I'm so happy you're back, okay! I'm getting a bit tired saying it over and over."

"Please don't be mad," Anthony squeezes his eyes shut and collapses onto the ground. This startles Ian.

"Hey, Anthony, I didn't mean it like that? Hey." He squats down next to Anthony and puts his hand on Anthony's shoulder. "I'm not mad, okay? Just a bit annoyed," he jokes. They both snort a bit.

Ian sits down next to Anthony. "This whole thing is hard, isn't it?" He looks at his best friend. Anthony turns his head and looks back at him. Before Ian can look away, Anthony grabs hold of his chin.

"Yeah, it's hard. And I would do it again, and again, and again. If it meant that I got to sit here next to you."

"Goddamnit Anthony." Ian fights back tears.

Anthony spreads his knees so one of them touches Ian's thigh. He sighs. "I'm not okay, am I?"

"I'm here for you, no matter what my broski." Ian tries to lighten the mood.

"I guess "us" has always been hard. Easy and hard at the same time, you know?"

"Yeah." Ian knows exactly what Anthony means. That truth they both know but can't admit to. That truth is, they love each other. A whole lot more than just as best friends.

The dusk has settled as they both get up.

"I'm tired," Anthony mumbles. "Please stay with me tonight?"

How can Ian refuse that. He lies down on Anthony's bed as his friend falls asleep almost instantly. He looks at him. There, right beside him. His bro from Sac'. The guy who always got the girls. The guy who laughs the hardest. And the man who is his best friend. The wounds may not have healed just yet, maybe they never will. But Anthony came back and that is more than enough for Ian.

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 15: PAINFUL RE:BAKE - Episode 2: Portrait / Keiku Karashina

— Anything will do. I’m just lookin’ for something that’s easy to understand.

Everything in my life is boring and tasteless. Then one day, I realized I wasn’t as sensitive as other people.

If something’s sweet, I need it to be so sweet you’d puke. I don’t care for wasabi, but I do like karashi. (1) I like everything to the extreme, whether we're talking sweet or spicy.

I have a hard time feeling anything at all. Not only taste, but everything.

I’m not good at this non-verbal communication thing, I always have to think… either about how I can communicate what I think to others… Or about figuring out what everyone means but doesn’t say. It’s a hassle, it doesn’t make sense, it pisses me off.

In your teens, you’re packed in with others your age whether you like it or not, and you’re forced to do everything in groups. It makes me feel like there’s nothing fulfilling in life.

Life’s full of things that are hard to understand.

I don’t get how people can just go on with their lives in this incomprehensible world like it’s nothing.

That’s why, I started lookin’ for easy to understand tastes… And easy to understand communication.

For example, something like–

-

Rough-looking guy: –gh

Keiku: … Comm’s done and over with.

[Phone notification blip]

Keiku: …

momo: “log in as soon as u see this!”

Keiku: ?

Iv has joined the chat Kar has joined the chat Kar: suuup shiki has joined the chat shiki: did something happen? momo: you won’t believe it, something crazy just happened! momo: idk how, but i got a famous influencer to join my troupe! shiki: that’s great news! congratulations! Iv: oooo grats Kar: who’s the influencer? momo: have you heard of ibukichi? shiki: my friends follow them Kar: i think i’ve heard of em momo: i never thought someone this famous would join! i’m shook! shiki: do you know what made them join? momo: just like me, they watched mankai company’s play and wanted to start acting! it’s like fate! momo: mankai company's tsuzuru-san also promised to write us a script if we get two more members! we’re THIS close!

Keiku: … Seriously?

momo: so, how about now? will you guys give joining the troupe another thought? Kar: naaah shiki: i’m fine with watching, but participating is another thing entirely, sorry momo: that’s what i thoughttt… momo: will you come watch if we manage to form a proper troupe and start performing then? momo: i want to meet you guys irl! Kar: nop shiki: i’m interested, but idk about meeting in person… i’ll definitely be supporting you from behind the scenes Iv: ^ thiiis Kar: gl tho

Keiku: Welp, we can't meet anyways.

Keiku: (If he ends up being too persistent, I’ll get pissed off and cut him off… Actually, I should just do that now.)

Keiku: (Texting is a chill and easy to understand communication method. It’s straightforward, with no hidden meanings.)

Keiku: (Doesn't hafta be with these guys though…)

Keiku: …

Keiku: (Well, whatever.)

[Phone ringing]

Friend A: “Wassuuup?”

Keiku: Lemme stay the night.

Friend A: “Sure thing, but are you not gonna go home again?”

Keiku: Ain’t ever goin’ back.

Friend A: “Quit lyin’.”

Keiku: (This meaningless back and forth is easy too but…)

Keiku: (... I don’t know what he’s thinkin’ from the other end of the phone, and I don’t get why he always lets me stay over, but it’s whatever.)

Keiku: (Well, I’ve found a place to crash for tonight, that’s good enough. No probs here.)

Rough-looking guy: Wait…

Keiku: ?

Rough-looking guy: Tell me your damn name…

Keiku: Oops, totally slipped my mind. TY.

Keiku: I’m… Nachi Komada of “Wolf”~!

NOTES:

(1) karashi (japanese mustard) is made from crushed mustard seeds mixed with horseradish and is much, much spicier than western mustard
