Omniverse - Another crazy Spider-Verse crossover idea I had, this time based on Ben 10

Yep, I had this idea floating around in my head for quite a bit today, in part thanks to reading up plenty about Ben 10 on the TV Tropes wiki. It got me imagining; what if we had another Spider-Verse-esque crossover, but involving the universe of Ben 10 instead?

I mean, the premise of alternate realities and timelines has been explored quite a bit in the many iterations of the franchise (like Gwen getting the Omnitrix instead of Ben or Ben's other alternate counterparts), and it got me imagining a cast line-up for the concept. The ones I thought up for the story are as follows:

Omni-Gang

Miles Morales / Spider-Man II = Alt Alan Albright / Alan Fanon (harbouring on him being a fanon counterpart to the original)

Peter B. Parker / Spider-Man = Ben A. Tennyson / Ben 10

Gwen Stacy / Spider-Woman = Julie Yamamoto / Julie 30

Spider-Man Noir = Classic Cartoon Ben 10

Spider-Ham = Reboot Ben 10

Peni Parker and SP//dr = Anime Lucy Mann and Ship

Pavitr Prabhakr / Spider-Man India = India Jimmy Jones

Hobie Brown / Spider-Punk = Ultimate Ben 10,000

Margo Kess / Spider-Byte = Gwen 10

Mayday Parker = Toddler Ken Green-Tennyson

Villains (Into the Omniverse)

William "Kingpin" Fisk = Phil Billings

Aaron Davis / The Prowler = Manny Armstrong / Techadon Warrior

Olivia Octavius / Doc-Ock = Arshika Charlie Animo / Dr. Animo

Green Goblin = Sunder the Retriever

Tombstone = Fistrick

Scorpion = Vulkanus

Villains (Across/Beyond the Omniverse)

Adriano Tumino / Renaissance Vulture = Pastel Master Kundo

Jonathan Ohnn / The Spot = Albedo / Negative Ben 10

Armadillo = Ssserpent

Miles G. Morales = Alan K. Albright

Villains (Miscellaneous)

Doctor Crawdaddy = Tim Buktu (Ben 10 Reboot)

Pavitr's Hobgoblin = Trombipulor

Omni-Society

Miguel O'Hara / Spider-Man 2099 = Reboot Evil Ben 10/Alien X

Lyla = Alternate Glitch (in a Gwen form)

Jessica Drew / Spider-Woman = Molly Gunther

Ben Reilly / Scarlet Spider = Ben 23

Supporting Cast (Base Universe)

Jefferson Morales = Alt Pierce Wheels

Rio Morales = Alt Helen Wheels

Spider-Man I = Ben B. Tennyson / Ben 10

May Parker = Grandpa Max Tennyson

Mary-Jane Watson-Parker = Kai Green-Tennyson

Ganke Lee = JT

Supporting Cast (Ben A.'s universe)

Mary-Jane Watson = Kai Green

Supporting Cast (Julie's universe)

Peter Parker / The Lizard = Ben Tennyson / Zs'Skayr

Captain George Stacy = Victor Valadis

Supporting Cast (Jimmy's universe)

Gayatri Singh = Elena Valadis

Supporting Cast (Alan K.'s universe)

Rio Morales = Alt Helen Wheels

The Omnitrix is the swap-in for the radioactive spider here, and whoever finds it is the one (in)voluntarily assigned to help protect the universe from all sorts of threats, whether they wish to or not, sending their life from ordinary to extraordinary fast.

I picked Julie specifically for the role of Spider-Gwen, considering how she lost her overall touch in the series after Omniverse (and kinda because I personally shipped Ben and Julie as a kid, even with their rough spots), hence why I felt she and Alan would make a good fit for each other due to similar insecurities.

I had been thinking carefully about the roles to assign to each character I could. I originally intended Ben 23 to be the swap-in for Spider-Ham, but considering how full of himself he was before Omniverse Ben/Ben Prime came along (which is why he's in Reilly's place), I felt Reboot Ben 10, whose world is less serious than the others, could fit the role better, whilst also inheriting sympathetic traits like relating to losing someone close.

The Classic Cartoon Ben 10 isn't from the ORIGINAL storyline, but rather one based on classic cartoons from the 60s and 70s, just to avoid confusion there. Lucy Mann's genki girl approach, for one, made her a perfect fit for Peni's role here, too.

And considering Jimmy Jones is a big fan of Ben 10 in canon (and was respected for it in Ultimate Alien), I felt the naïve newcomer status could work for an alternate universe version of him from India. And as Ultimate Ben 10,000 is pretty much on top of his game (alongside being less likely to steer towards canon), he fits well for Hobie's role.

The evil reboot Ben 10, I felt, fits well for the role of Miguel, since he lost his Gwen and Max when they tried to save him, which led him down a darker path in life and required FIVE Omnitrix users to take him down. Likewise, I thought a Gwen variant of Glitch to go with him (which fits well with her sass in the series proper) fits Lyla's role as a digital assistant to a futuristic hero.

Since the four Plumbers' Helpers are of similar age, I felt that Pierce and Helen are Alan's legal guardians in Bellwood, alongside both assisting the Plumbers in protecting Earth. Manny, who has Aaron's role, is the most hot-headed of the four, but has a good heart deep down.

The reason for Alan having to inherit his Ben's role is through inheriting his Omnitrix after Ben gives him the responsibility to protect his world for him, and his compatibility with it came from the other dimension thanks to the experiments Phil's scientists were doing. As for the whole hair-sticking incident, Julie's hair was longer (as far down as her waist) before the accident, and at present, it's as long as in canon.

Max being the badass old man, no matter what universe, comes with the territory anyway, same with him being tech-savvy, which allows him to help Alan adjust to being the new hero. Kai is also commonly the girl Ben ultimately ends up marrying between universes, and JT being Alan's roomie contributes to him being the more chill between him and Cash (the glasses are a plus, too).

I also thought carefully about the rogues gallery between stories from throughout Ben 10's history, like having a female counterpart to Dr. Animo, or Ssserpent being the random villain Alan has to quickly deal with on his way back home with a cake, due to the villain's butt-monkey status in his first two appearances (he got better on the third).

Zs'Sakyr, I felt, was the best counterpart to represent The Lizard in Omniverse, since he's Ghostfreak's true self who tried possessing Ben and gaining full power over the Omnitrix. And I've kept up with the theme of altering art styles for the AU version of Master Kundo (like how Vulture was from the Renaissance, Green Impostor (Funkinverse) was from a sketchbook, and Snively (from my work, IAB!) was from a cell-shaded world).

Albedo, I thought, would be the best option available for a swap-in for Ohnn, as he became villainous through making a fake Omnitrix that made him a direct doppelganger of Ben (until a bioenergy feedback caused his appearance to shift), and since he fell into D-List villain territory, I felt he could have the biggest voyage to become an arch-enemy that Alan CAN'T ignore in general.

You guys are welcome to take all that as you will, and make up your own ideas on how things will turn out for them. See you later!

Race Conversion - Oakling (PF1e to 5e)

EDIT: Learned that Alluria Publishing changed the name of "oakling" to "treefolk" when it was converted to a PF2E ancestry. While I don't have the supplement itself, the sample of it showed enough of a change to update the Plant Physiology trait. There are now different heritages in PF2E's version, similar to the subraces of 5e and lineages of the 2024 rules, but it wasn't enough for me to completely revise what I wrote here. That said, it does talk about specific treefolk rations for 40 sp that are bottles containing the equivalent of artificial or "specially formulated" sunlight.

First off, apologies for being silent for this long. It's been a rough few months with lots of doctor appointments, and having to go to the hospital for extensive tests after I had a really bad and terrifying medical episode. Still have to visit a hospital in another city altogether. What I can say is that it's not cancer, and the findings weren't bad enough that I'll need surgery (yet). I will need to get scans once a year to monitor things. I'll take the wins where I can though. For now, I'm doing alright and getting through the days.

Now, for what people actually want to see.

I don't know how many of you have been following or care about the 5.24/5r/5.5e PHB that WotC released last month, or any of the other books coming out in the upcoming months and years. I'm still unsure myself on this change to the game, but I will say that I really liked the Path of the World Tree barbarian subclass. I'm a sucker for Greek and Norse mythology, and absolutely love stories that involve Yggdrasil and the Nine Realms. So the fact that a barbarian subclass that revolves around that very mythology just made me giddy during the One D&D playtest. I really want to play one some day.

A bit of a side tangent before continuing: one of the first 3PP books I ever bought for Pathfinder 1e was the Remarkable Races supplement from Alluria Publishing. It was something I came across when looking for a race that would best represent a player wanted, which was a cat race. This was before the catfolk came out, and Alluria had released the anumus, which was a person with an animal head. While going through that book, I came across the oakling, essentially a treant PC race, and it's one that's stuck out to me. There was even a 4e version of the book.

Now, why did I bring up that book? Because I had a really ridiculous idea that I'd love to try out. A sentient tree, possibly tied to the Tree of Life itself, that visits the different realms using its power to aid adventurers and save the realms from evil. Essentially, a Path of the World Tree tree. It's bordering on a Dad Joke, but still. That thought process led me down a rabbit hole and eventually I converted the oakling for my own benefit. I even took the Race feats, merged, and converted them too. I ended up with four feats just for the oakling. I didn't add them here, but if there's interest, I could post them later.

Note: the conversion I'm doing today, will be for 5e (even though I'm still calling it species and not race in the stat block), not for the new 5.24 book, but it wouldn't be hard to convert it over. I'll be keeping in line with the Monsters of the Multiverse book specifically. If you want to use this in the new edition, you'd mostly just remove the ability score bonuses (which are now tied to Backgrounds), remove the Age and Alignment, and minimize the text for Creature Type and Size, and Languages. You'd likely have to lose the Natural Armor too. Elves are allowed skills, so you should be allowed to keep that too.

Much like the Wyvaran, this will essentially be a simple 1-to-1, and taking from a couple of different feats. If you're curious to learn more about the oakling, you can check out its lore and original PF1e stats here.

Art from Alluria Publishing's 4e Remarkable Races.

As always, if you like what I do, whether it’s monster conversions, adventure path add-ons, or race builds, I have a Ko-Fi page (linked) for those who would like to support me monetarily. There is no pressure or obligation to do so. A like and/or a share would also be appreciated just as much. It lets people know I exist out there.

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

Now, let’s talk stats.

Unlike Pathfinder, there’s no real “official” way to judge how powerful a creature is. There are definitely a lot of 3PP supplements and homebrew out there, which I tend to have to use as a guide. For this, I used the updated Detect Balance Plus, which did both 5e and 5.24 breakdowns on the same spreadsheet. This worked out to be around 30-31 points, which is around firbolg, giff, half-drow, and lizardfolk.

Oakling Species 5e

Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Wisdom score increases by 1. Age. As humanoids related to treants, oaklings have long lifespans. An oakling reaches adulthood around 30, and the oldest of them can live for 600 years. Alignment. Oaklings often lack malice and do not take pleasure in killing, nor do most feel that deception and corruption are logical paths. They don’t fully understand the concept of sympathy, and tend to have expressionless eyes. They are typically neutral. Creature Type. You are a Humanoid. You are also considered a Plant for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be a plant. Size. Oaklings are between 6 and 8 feet tall and weigh between 300 and 450 pounds. Your size is Medium. Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 ft. Leaf Speech. Through high frequencies beyond the range of human hearing, you can communicate in a limited manner with Plants and vegetation. These are typically one-word remarks regarding each of your statuses; hungry, thirsty, injured, and so on. Natural Armor. You have tough, bark-like skin. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 12 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor. Nature’s Heritage. Your connection to nature and plants gives you an intuitive connection to the natural world. You have proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Insight, Medicine, Nature, or Survival. Plant Physiology. You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the poisoned or stunned condition on yourself. Moreover, through a combination of photosynthesis, absorbing minerals with your roots, or scavenging decaying matter, you can gain enough nourishment to sustain you for one day. Plant-like Demeanor. You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the charmed or frightened condition on yourself. You also don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. Rooted Foot. When you are prone, standing up uses only 5 feet of your movement. Sentry's Rest. When you take a long rest, you spend at least 6 hours in an inactive, motionless state, instead of sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but you remain conscious. Solar Healing. As an action, while in sunlight, you regain a number of hit points equal to your level. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.

Here's hoping I can play this character, even for a one-shot some day. Also hoping that someone sees this and wants to do the same.

[frecklenog]

rewatching tas yesteryear for the second time today to pull some of the stuff that Stuck Out To Me

"i regret you were witness to that unfortunate display of emotion on the part of my son"

sarek this is why people say you're a bad father. he's being mercilessly bullied by the other kids and chastised for being upset by it? HES SEVEN.

"is something wrong, [sarek]?" "no no. it was only that... it seemed i know you."

yeah. you do. that's your son age 35 lmao (and spock brushing it off as looking like a shared ancestor he's so. i'm biting himgn,)

why do the adults wear full clothes and the kids wear speedos and seatbelts. what's happening on this planet

"once on the path you choose, you cannot turn back"

actually-

"it is difficult for a father to bear less than perfection in his son"

babygirl you have so many problems. what edition of the dsm are we on in 2269 or whatever the hell because i think you need to look through it

still so insane that vulcans do the kahs-wan at all tbh. like yeah sure it keeps them connected to their roots but these are prepubescent boys and you're just leaving them alone in the wilderness for over a week with zero supplies. how is that not institutional child neglect.

"to fail once is not a disgrace -- for others. if you fail, there will be those who will call you a coward all your life."

but like. no pressure or anything. single digit age baby child boy.

"i do not expect you to fail." "what if i do, father?" "there is no need to ask that question. you will not disappoint me. not if your heart and spirit are vulcan."

this fucking. exchange. it's so short. combined, it's all of six sentences. but even the first time i watched it i could pick up on the two distinct interpretations by both sarek and spock.

sarek seems to think that this is a comfort. an affirmation. he believes in his son. he has complete faith in his abilities. there's no doubt in his mind that spock will succeed. it's the logical conclusion.

spock however. spock has anxiety borne of his status as a mixed, neurodivergent child and his actual life experiences. he's so used to people thinking less of him. used to not being good enough. not being vulcan enough. he's been bullied by his peers his whole life, and earlier in the episode the other vulcan boys openly insult his mother by saying that sarek brought shame to vulcan by marrying her. he knows how people think of him, and he's reaching for reassurance that it's okay if he, like many other vulcan children, needs to undergo the kahs-wan again. just telling him that he will succeed, and leaving no other option, only puts further pressure on him and increases his anxiety, as is evicenced by him immediately going to i-chaya to vent and seek comfort. no wonder he runs away all the time, fucks sake.

in other news, i still hate this fucking fountain. we're on a desert planet where the only oceans are of lava. what the fuck are you doing, sarek? this thing is a massive waste of resources for absolutely no good fucking reason! where is your precious "logic" now, you green blooded cunt?

"of course. i should have remembered. it wasn't the actual kahs-wan ordeal."

bold for emphasis, and. i. how fucking spotty is spock's memory of his childhood??????

"you don't think he'd harm spock?" "i don't know, amanda."

[anguished groan as i think too hard about time travel implications]

..when spock does the nerve pinch to that big green bastard its fucking head vanishes for a few frames SDJFJSD

"do you think i'll ever be able to do that neck pinch as well as you?" "i dare say you will."

"...you are worried about the kahs-wan ordeal." "i had to see if i could do it. a personal test. i cannot fail." "that is your father's wish?" "yes, and my mother's. they... they confuse me. father wants me to do things his way, and mother says i should. but then she goes-" "she is a human woman, with strong emotion and sensitivities. she embarrasses you with those traits, and you are afraid when you see them in yourself."

spock really took "reparent yourself" literally with that whole speech about the reality of vulcan emotion huh

also. who did baby spock prank that one time lmao i bet sybok played a part in it

the zoom on amanda when baby spock says he chose vulcan.

and then he goes off to get in another fight after announcing his intentions to both of his parents and his alleged cousin. none of them stop him. vulcan is such a mess of a planet

"one small thing was changed this time. a pet died." "a pet? well that wouldn't mean much, in the course of time." "it might to some."

post over thank you for listening.

[euphoniouspandemonium]

Me : *is dressed in that interviewer garb but like tis a pantsuit with a nik tac toe twist 😏*

Greetings viewers from afar !! Today we are here with the esteemed Jana euphomoniuspandemonium ik I didn't spell it right ok shh now let me continue who is the very menacingly gorgeous author of several notable works including but not limited to cotton mendings <3

A couple of questions for you by the masses my lady

1. talk about a notable time a narrative or character has looked you dead in the eyes and said “fuck your plan, here’s what we’re actually doing.”

2. talk about a writing experience that has pleasantly surprised you. or talk about several. seriously, writing is cool. you’re making up whole stories out of your brain, revel in that shit.

3. tell us about a character who’s very different than you who you love a whole lot

4. tell us about one of your characters who’s an absolute joy to write 

5. do you know how you want the story to end when you start, or are you just stumbling through the figurative wilderness hoping to find a road?

THANKS FOR THE ASK, NIK!! Also yes, you did misspell my URL. But it's okay. I don't know how it's spelled either.

• 1. You saw the post about Salvatore stealing the spotlight in Cotton Mendings so! Here's another notable time that happened, a very recent one actually. You see, for the past few months I haven't been Feeling ANTRM, I was just bored with it but I didn't want to like straight up stop working on it cause it's just too big of a part of my personality now and I was just waiting for Something to happen with it. And a couple days ago, it did. Halcyon looked me dead in the eye and said "Jana. Jana I wanna steal." and I realised. That brilliant, dramatic piece of shit is a gentleman burglar. And his sister, a literal detective? Yeah, she's supportive. Aaaand the plot is somehow not that different?? Now I have to come up with a new title and plot some stuff out and reintroduce it.

Putting the rest under a cut cause this got Very Long oops-

• 2. Writing Cotton Mendings, actually?? It's like. Almost the opposite of any of my other WIPs, other than the murder and the fact that it's in a historical setting, and at first I actually thought I'd write like five sentences and then abandon it (and lemme tell you, that seems to happen a lot) but then It Took Over My Life. And I also came up with it while listening to Angie by The Rolling Stones which is like a 3 min song I don't even like That Much?? Anyways yeah, thematically and conceptually Cotton Mendings likes to surprise me.

• 3. Ah yes, so we're looking at the few OCs who aren't emotionally repressed and nihilistic. Anyways. CYNTHIA!!!!!!! I haven't really thought about Tragedy's Bones these past few weeks so I figure it shall be nice to talk about my wonderful gay redhead. Cynthia is so so kind and empathetic and sassy and nurturing (I hate that word btw I just can't think of a better one to use) I'm <333333 and she's like. The first person to show any kind of love and understanding toward Victorine which... is sad, but is it unexpected? Unfortunately not. We have already established that I am evil. Also as an adult she would support the suffrage movement 1000000%. Also m' girl's into fashion and I love that for her. Give me a sweetheart who can kick your ass in the most fashionable skirts you've ever seen <3 and!!!!! Cynthia and Victorine have an orange-green colour scheme! Cynthia being the one with the orange colours <3

• 4. LEONINE LEONINE LEONINE!!! She's like. My comfort OC <3 and I mean how can she not be wHO WOULDN'T ADORE AN AUTISTIC ASEXUAL LESBIAN DETECTIVE. Right so the woman is. Intelligent. Like really freaking intelligent. Sucks at emotions tho, which - same! And she's protective of her loved ones, as she should. And she's autistic so I can <3 validate myself <3 by implanting many of my traits into such an awesome character and watching her shit on ableists <3 aNYWAYS. She's a joy to write mainly because of her way of speaking cause she's so sophisticated, actually- and of course. Also even more mainly because she sounds aloof and closed off for the most part BUT THEN. You see the Emotions. And suddenly you're crying. Bitch.

An example of this is when she has that lil monologue on crime and art near the beginning of The Story of Madam Poppy and then. "Have you ever felt like you could fall in love with an artist?" [...] "I suppose you can understand me, then." Like. That severely harmed me. Another example can be found later in the same story when she says, "I don't think I could have loved her the way she would want to be loved, though. She wanted someone ordinary, and gentle, and grounded, and... I am not that. But you know, I think she would have liked you." Because we love pain here.

• 5. I have started making loose outlines of Stuff That Happen for my newer projects and I do end up figuring the ending out while plotting or drafting or daydreaming but like nothing's set in stone with my writing at this point so it's kinda in-between. Am I gonna know how something ends early on? Yeah. Am I gonna change it approximately a million times? Absolutely. Not in the case of Cotton Mendings tho, I must say. Sincere apologies to @olimpias but bestie. I shan't cave❤️

[superlativesamsara]

Alrighty everyone,who wants to learn some things? Because Akira @blxndingin made the mistake of agreeing to listen to me explain something!

Today's topic: How a Divinity of the Concept of Light differs from a Divinity of Light.

For the sake of dash length I will now insert a read more to spare the faint of heart my ramblings. Be forewarned that we're going to be getting a little meta here about the workings of the multiverse, so if you'd rather not know such things, I'll flag that section before and after so you can skip it, or you can ask for a separate summary of this post later.

So! What does Light represent? Obviously, light represents luminance, energy, photons and waves that can carry information.

The Concept of Light is a bit broader. It encompasses not just the literal essence of light, but also Light as a symbol. While luminance is still part of it, Light as a concept also represents Information, Importance, Fortune, the big IS to Void's IS NOT, not unlike the similar relationship between the Creative Concept of Space and the Entropic Concept of Time.

I, am an Entitled Goddess of the Concept of Light, my power is held in the form of a mythic mantle I bear, a role I am to play in my universe and that which The Game ordains I shall create. My specific Title is that of the Knight of Light, She who Wields, Defends, and Exploits the concepts of Light. My specialties, among my concept's domains, are Luminance and Information.

My personal spin on my generalized power set reflects this, in that my divine power amplifies actions that involve the Wielding, Defending, or Exploiting for advantage of Information or Luminance.

For an alternative example, I offer the Standard Pattern Vriska Serket, a Thief of Light, She Who Steals, Hoards, and Flaunts Luminance, Information, Importance and Fortune. More specifically, her personal take on her powers is the use of Information she's stolen to gather more Importance and Fortune, in her case she heavily delves into the Luck Manipulation aspect of the Fortune Domain of the Concept of Light. It's not uncommon to hear a Vriska bragging about how she has all the luck, and typically hearing her do so means she's taken it from you.

[Meta Begins]

What do I mean by Standard Pattern? Well, glad you accidentally asked, Akira! A "Standard Pattern" person is one who follows relatively close to the baseline for their hypothetical multiversal template, the set of traits and features common to them in the majority of universes where they exist. In my universe, and indeed in many universes in the multiverse, these templates sometimes appear in the form of fiction, often with names and details varying based on universe but the major details staying roughly the same. If you've ever read the Inkheart trilogy you'll probably have an idea of what I mean, though it's more along the lines of "the author glimpses the world and writes about it" than it is "the author births the world before it takes on a life of its own" as the book trilogy would prefer to imply.

I, am not from a Standard Pattern Universe. I'm from a Divergent Pattern or "AU" Universe, specifically compared to the Standard Pattern my universe has had several peoples' roles and places in the greater tapestry of the narrative switched around, what is colloquially referred to as a "Swap" Universe. In this instance I fill the "Role" of SP Dave Strider while in the "Position" of SP Dirk Strider.

[Meta Concludes]

If all of that sounds horrendously confusing, congratulations, you're a normal and sane human being. I'm definitely not at least two of those but good luck picking ;)

Anyhow, so we've now established that Light, as in the Concept, is Luminance, Information, Importance, and Fortune, and how my Title relates to it. So let's delve into my *actual* divine portfolio that I claimed the usual way, as a Goddess of Magic. Do note, I'm only a minor goddess, and often not even that, depending on the relative flexibility and power scaling of divine rank of the universe I'm visiting. In most universes where monotheism reigns supreme in the collective consciousness of humanity, the best I can pull is a particularly powerful Saint level divinity. In ones where there's more room for lesser divinities I can pull a demigod or even, very rarely, a minor goddess.

In my home universe, I am effectively limitedly omnipotent due to events I'd prefer not to elaborate on at this time. Maybe later. Suffice it to say that within a fixed range of myself in my home universe I am the metaphysical lynchpin of reality and it means I can bend (but not break!) the rules of it. Breaking the rules is Very Bad. Like "unleash the spawn of dead stars to devour eternity" bad. Like "I don't really want to go through a bunch of bullshit to reboot the universe a second time" bad.

Anywho! Reply with any questions you have and I'll answer them in separate threads because Christ this one did get away from me just as I expected it to.

My superpower [is my downfall]

I have a confession… I may or may not have a super power. It’s not flying or invisibility. It’s not telekinesis or x-ray vision; although that would be pretty cool. If I could I would change it… maybe to teleportation since I’m always running late. My superpower is…drum-roll please… being a highly sensitive introverted empath! Never heard of it before? You’re not alone. “A highly sensitive person (HSP) experiences the world differently than others. Due to a biological difference that they're born with, highly sensitive people are more aware of subtleties and process information deeply. HSP, or Highly Sensitive Person) is not a disorder, or a diagnosis. It is a neutral trait that evolved in 20% of the human population and many non-human species as well, because it is a survival advantage in some situations and not in others.” Being highly sensitive as well as empathic, is a blessing and a curse. It’s one which I feel lucky to have but at times doomed. If you aren’t aware of your HSP-E traits, it can get you into some shit. “There is no doubt about the fact that some people seem to have heightened emotions and be more sensitive than others. Having a particularly high level of emotional sensitivity is an actual condition - (HSP) In other words, being highly sensitive has an emotional dimension to it, and most HSPs would qualify as empaths — they tend to feel the emotions of others just like empaths do. At the same time, being an HSP also involves being more sensitive to all sensory input, not just emotions.” Introverts tend to be overly stimulated by external surroundings. This is why many introverts would also label as HSP’s. An introvert myself, I get anxious and exhausted in loud, busy crowds. Basically I need my alone and quiet time to relax and recharge. “Highly sensitive people are typically introverts whereas empaths can be introverts or extroverts, (though most are introverts) called Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS). ... The difference is, in addition to being an HSP, an empath is also clairsentient. That means that they can sense or feel the (emotional) energy around them without the use of their five senses. If you're a highly sensitive introvert, you know that everyday life can sometimes be a real struggle. ... Both introverts and extroverts can be highly sensitive, but the majority of HSPs are introverted (about 70 percent). When you're both an introvert and an HSP, it can feel like a one-two punch.” I personally love being introverted but at the same time, people can take offense to when I don’t jump at the offer of going out. It’s not that I don’t like spending time with my friends, it’s just it takes a lot of energy for me to want to stay out as well as engage with people on a consistent basis. I’m somewhat like a turtle, and could spend all day in my “shell” so to speak, with little desire to peak my head out. “In other words, being highly sensitive has an emotional dimension to it. At the same time, being an HSP also involves being more sensitive to all sensory input, not just emotions.” People who define as HSP’s may also be highly empathetic. As I’ve previously stated, this is a double edged sword. People with high empathy lean more towards helping or healing professions. Just because you are an empath however, does not automatically make you an HSP. “Empaths share all the traits of HSPs. These include a low threshold for stimulation, the need for alone time, sensitivity to light, sound, and smell, plus an aversion to large groups. Empaths share a highly sensitive person's love of nature, quiet environments, desire to help others, and a rich inner life.” As an empath, you are (unfortunately) prone to highly dysfunctional relationships/people. People develop high levels of empathy due to early traumatic experiences or growing up in a toxic environment as children. “Because empaths are thought to have hyper-responsive mirror neurons, we deeply resonate with other people's feelings. This means they lack the ability to feel empathy like other people do, which may be caused by an under-active mirror neuron system. Empaths are deeply sensitive individuals who are highly attuned to the emotions and energy of others. They can easily take on the emotions of others as their own. This can be a challenge when they have porous boundaries and end up absorbing the pain and stress of others. Empaths are highly attuned to other people's moods, good and bad. They feel everything, sometimes to an extreme. They take on negativity such as anger or anxiety, which can be exhausting for them. If they are around peace and love, though, their bodies take these on and flourish.” Unfortunately for us empaths, dangerous, predatory people are easily drawn to us and we can be attracted to them as well; since they are our opposite. This can make us easy, vulnerable targets for people with personality disorders that enjoy exploiting people with big hearts since they know we are easily forgiving. They also hate us because they envy our ability to love, which they are not able to do. “Narcissists are sensitive only for themselves whereas empaths are sensitive about the whole world. Most of the empaths are not aware of spiritual reasons of being in this toxic condition. They keep taking the guilt and blame till their breaking point comes. The empath is attracted to the narcissist, and feels their need for affection is being met even if the narcissist isn't doing anything to develop the connection. The empath feels fulfilled and “in love” just from being around them.” I also feel the need to mention that empathy and sympathy are not the same. People have the tendency to correlate and use empathy and sympathy interchangeably however, they are quite different. “The differences between the most commonly used meanings of these two terms is: sympathy is feeling compassion, sorrow, or pity for the hardships that another person encounters. empathy is putting yourself in the shoes of another, which is why actors often talk about it. Empathetic people do not just show concern or act sympathetically. They are able to imagine themselves in someone else's situation. An empath has the ability to physically feel and experience what another person is going through. They literally embody what is going on for other people, and the energy around them.” All in all, being an empath as well as a highly sensitive and introverted person can be draining and take a lot of emotional intelligence, as well as training to learn how to manage these characteristics as well as not get taken advantage of. It’s a beautiful thing to feel so deeply, especially living in the world we are today. That’s why it can be easy to believe “something is wrong with you” or that you don’t belong in a society which can be cruel and encourages people to listen to logic versus intuition. “Empaths are those in your life who are the healers, the nurturers, the highly sensitive lovers that give, and give, and give, often to the point of exhaustion. Though considered rare, empaths actually make up 15-20% of the population, meaning that there is a chance you yourself could be one. For empaths, it is related to the stress of constantly feeling other people's emotions.” It can be tempting to wish you didn’t feel things so extremely; when you’re high you’re super high but when you’re low, you come crashing down harder than ever, it can feel unbearable. I invite you to embrace your emotions and learn to cope with your feelings properly. The people whose lives you touch will be grateful you did… as well as yourself.

South Park: The affect of Abuse and ACEs on Behavior

One thing that’s been a hot topic in the SP fandom as of late is the discussion of how the behavior (both past and present) of the child characters are affected by the experiences we’ve seen/heard about in canon. Today we’re going to talk a little about three of the most damning cases; Cartman, Tweek and Butters.

Disclaimer 1: This analysis will contain several mentions of childhood trauma such as abuse, neglect and sexual relations. Please be mindful that you have been warned.

Disclaimer 2: This is for the sake of analysis and application of knowledge that I (and those in the SP analysis discord) have. We are in no way professionals. I am only a preschool teacher so my knowledge in the field of abuse and neglect is limited to what I’ve been taught and what I have witnessed/experienced. Please take the speculation with a grain of salt… maybe even the whole shaker. Just dump it in your mouth and enjoy almost 4,000 words of fully sourced “its not that deep, fam”.

Preface: What We Know about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)

Before we can really dive into this whole thing, we need to discuss ACEs. These are, to put it simply, traumatic events that occur during childhood that can have lasting effects on a person’s social/emotional, cognitive and even physical development well into adulthood. They’re mostly used for identifying children/people at risk and for research. It’s pretty interesting how that’s done, so I implore you to research more if you’re curious. These experiences can include:

Physical abuse

Sexual abuse

Emotional abuse

Physical neglect

Emotional neglect

Intimate partner violence

Mother treated violently

Substance misuse within household

Household mental illness

Parental separation or divorce

Incarcerated household member

(Source)

Given we’re talking about Cartman, Butters and Tweek, I think you can see why I bring this up. Taking a look at this list and the canon evidence we have in show, it’s easy to say that they’ve all experienced some of these traumas. Two more important things from the source article should also be noted for the sake of this analysis:

ACEs cluster. Almost 40% of the Kaiser sample reported two or more ACEs and 12.5% experienced four or more. Because ACEs cluster, many subsequent studies now look at the cumulative effects of ACEs rather than the individual effects of each.

ACEs have a dose-response relationship with many health problems. As researchers followed participants over time, they discovered that a person’s cumulative ACEs score has a strong, graded relationship to numerous health, social, and behavioral problems throughout their lifespan, including substance use disorders.

“Chey, what the fuck are you on about? This doesn’t make sense!” you might be saying. To truly understand how these ACEs apply to these three kids and how they affect their behavior, let’s take a look at them on a case by case basis.

Cartman’s Case

Eric Cartman is probably the most interesting child in terms of applying the ACEs checklist, as well as other knowledge about abuse and neglect affects on children. We know, from canon, that Cartman lives with his single mother. He’s a low-income family. His mother has been/may still be a sex worker. He’s is very inclined to violence and seems obsessed with sexual topics. It’s very interesting to note that towards the beginning of the series, while evidences were present, Cartman was a lot more innocent. As the show went on and some of these ACE experiences actually happened in building canon, it’s worn on him and shaped him in real time into the character we know today.

ACE 1: Sexual Abuse. It’s been strongly implied that Cartman has been sexually abused.Here is a not-so-short list of examples from the fanon wiki (source). It’s long winded and detailed, so here are a few notable points (as well as some that I’ve added myself).

Engaged in inappropriate/sexual behavior for his age, such as “touching wieners” with one of his cousins (le petit tourette), giving handjobs (Fat Butt and Pancake Head), insisting on measuring penises of his classmates (TMI), putting Butters’ penis in his mouth (Cartman Sucks)

Has been sexually abused by his mother/because of his mother (An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig)

Has been abused by several adult men ON SCREEN (The Simpsons Already Did It, Cripple Fight, Cartman Joins NAMBLA, AWESOM-O, The Return of Chef, It’s A Jersey Thing)

There’s also the strong point that Cartman has come to associate sex/love as something undesired, humiliating or painful. Again, the wiki wonderfully spells these out, but I’ll summarize. Cartman constantly treats any form of sexual or romantic relations as rape and assault. One example is in the Coon and Friends trilogy, he believes a woman having a consensual relationship with a man in the park is being “raped” and needs to be saved. Another example is his expressed sadness at the New Kid’s “dad fucked your mom” backstory in FBW. Another one that is not often touched upon in his reaction to Tweek and Craig’s fight in Tweek X Craig, in which he exclaims wholeheartedly that the two of them getting into an alteration is “sex” and seems intrigued to watch what’s going to happen. He also uses sex as a form of humiliation. I’m sure this is common knowledge at this point but his infatuation with making Kyle suck his balls in Imaginationland but also in his culmination of Butters’ photographical humiliation (AKA, sticking his penis in his mouth).

It’s not talked about on the ACEs website, but children who are sexually abused are likely to exhibit disdain (but interest) in sexual relations and acting sexually mature for their age.

ACE 2 and 3: Emotional abuse and neglect. Now, before I start this, you’re probably going to say, “BUT CHEY! Liane loves and dotes on Cartman! That’s why he’s spoiled!” Boy, do I hear you, but I’m going to explain myself. While Liane does spoil Cartman to hell and back, I’d like to argue that it’s empty. Liane may often tell Cartman she loves him, she also uses tactics such as bribery (food and other things Cartman likes), neglect (Cartman has said in canon, and she’s admitted herself, to being too busy to deal with him due to being a single parent), and also exposes him to things he should not be exposed to (sex, drugs). She treats him like a friend or a companion rather than her son (Tsst) which allows Cartman to have free reign. But free reign is not always out of love and care. I’d like to argue a lot of Cartman’s power is from lack of parenting and involvement in his life.I’m sorry if this part isn’t phrased too well; I had a hard time articulating it.

This may also be why Cartman has such a mixed relationship with his mother. He’s fed the idea that things are okay and great, that nothing is wrong, and he literally eats it up. He’s not outwardly talkative about what goes on at home, and when he is, he seems to regret it immediately. His disdain for his mom may not be purely “selfish greedy child”, but completely justified “abused child”. As phrased wonderfully by one of our server members, “that’s why he calls her a bitch and all those kinds of things yet still protecting her whenever they try to rip on Liane. Because that’s the kind of love he’s used to.”

Furthermore, consider the situation around Cartman’s birth. Liane was young, drunk and the town “slut” (their words, not mine). Cartman’s father’s identity had to be hidden and there’s no doubt that took a tole on her. I’d imagine being a young, single mother is not the path she wanted for herself. I tend to think of it as a cycle- Liane doesn’t want to deal with her child due to his behavior so she checks out of the situation, actually making Cartman’s behavior worse and so on and so on. Another possibly related scene could be in “Cartman’s Mom Is A Dirty Slut”, when she still outwardly seeks an abortion for her 8 year old son.

On a slightly unrelated note, this may also be one of the reasons for Cartman’s infatuation with Kyle. He seems to mistake the traits of abuse/neglect (anger, fighting, etc) as love due to how his mother treats him. This is why he thinks Kyle enjoys his company/likes him as a friend despite how much Kyle pushes back.

Other likely ACES: Witnessing intimate partner violence (his mother is a sex worker and he’s claimed to have been in the room during these acts), mother treated violently (FBW’s little Liane arc gives me bad vibes), substance abuse within household (I forget which episodes specifically but Liane’s done drugs), parent separation or divorce (absent father figure).

Cartman’s Conclusion:

Cartman has a grand total of SEVEN potential ACEs. The reason why I started those two additional facts at the start of this is because they are culminating (several often pop up and are related to each other) and affect behavior and relationships. Cartman’s behavior, while obnoxious and impulsive at best and downright despicable at worst, can be somewhat explained by the experiences he’s faced. Abuse, neglect and sexual assault have led him to search for forms of power and control in his life, whether that be over himself, his mother or his friends. His views of the world are shaped by what he’s seen and felt. Unlike Tweek, however, he doesn’t have much of a support system, and with the “sugarcoating” under the guise of love and care, he’s less likely to get the help he needs. His risks for childhood and subsequently adulthood are very high.

Butters’ Case

Butter’s is your stereotypical abused child in terms of his behavior and coping mechanisms. I believe that even casual show-watchers would agree that he’s in some deep shit. Unlike Cartman who is a lot more nuanced about displaying what he’s experienced, Butters is naive and innocent and resilient. He easily follows what others (CARTMAN) ask of him. He assumes a more submissive role in his life, working hard to make others happy and put them first to avoid trouble. He’s an easy target for bullying and being humiliated or used. He says things out loud without noticing their implications to what has happened to him.

Unlike Liane who covers her (probably unintentional) neglect with the guise of love, he has no such outward statements from either parent. The closest we get is “this is for your own good”, but there is no loving undertone, it’s purely corporeal.  Their abuse is right in his face; it’s physical, it’s mental, it’s terrible. Steven Stotch is the primary abuser, and while Linda has done her fair share of harm, she’s generally more passive. She even states in Grounded Vindaloop that she “lets [Steven] handle the grounding”. Steven Stotch, as of FBW, is also a victim of abuse, showing that he’s perpetrating it in a cycle (you’ll notice this theme a few times in this little essay).

It’s clear as of season 20 that the effects of constant abuse have finally worn on Butters, due to his angry outbursts and sudden shift in attitude (if you want to look at it from a character standpoint and not as lazy writing cough cough). He’s hit a breaking point in what he can take, and the more he’s been exposed to his ACEs (like Cartman’s case) the more behaviorally challenged he’s become.

Another aspect to consider is his relationship with Cartman. Both share similar ACEs, but cope with them in different ways. Cartman chooses to be a controller to earn back what he’s lost, while Butters is more suited to take a backseat and follow. This is why they, despite having a very dysfunctional friendship, stick together. It may appear that Cartman is the only one benefiting, but I believe it’s more mutualistic based on their respective coping mechanisms.

ACE 1: Physical Abuse. Butters has been shown to be physically abused time and time again by Steven. He’s been hit, talked about being hit, and the biggest piece of evidence that scares the shit out of me personally is that Steven pulled off his belt and prepared to hit Butters in front of his classmates in Grounded Vindaloop. Corporal punishment has been shown time and time again to be detrimental to children’s psyc, which aligns given how Butters acts.

ACE 2: Sexual Abuse. Butters has mentioned in The Return Of Chef that he has been sexually abused by his uncle, which does not surprise me in the slightest. Butters, unlike Cartman, goes the total opposite direction of how to cope with this sort of experience; he’s blissfully unaware of what has happened and rather than let it consume him (ex. cartman) he brushes it off as no big deal. Whether this means he is truly unaware of the connotations of what was done to him or if he’s purposely repressing it is unclear, but the evidence is there that it did happen.

ACE 3 and 4: Emotional Abuse and Neglect. This one is abundant in examples. Steven appears to play a lot of mind games with Butters, whether it’s demanding he stop having nightmares (The Death of Eric Cartman), getting in trouble for looking a certain way (How To Eat With Your Butt and The List), or simply for being bullied. They constantly ground him for things that he has no control over, simple mistakes or things that he was not even involved in. I believe that Steven, similar to Cartman, takes the helplessness from childhood abuse and hurts Butters in order to feel in control of himself.

Other Possible ACEs: Household mental illness could be argued as one of the ACEs Butters experiences, although not officially confirmed in canon. I do believe that Linda has some form of mental illness due to her behavior in Butters Own Episode. Although not listed in the article, Steven’s infidelity and the tension that causes on his and Linda’s marriage is also a potential ACE, especially given that Butters was directly exposed to that whole fiasco.  

Butters’ Conclusion:

Butters’ innocence is likely a form of coping mechanism for what he’s encountered during his life. Constant physical and mental abuse have worn on him over the years, turning him more bitter and forcing him to act out. I believe this also can be accredited to his mental break in season 19’s “Safe Space”, as this is the big start of his downward spiral. Unlike Cartman, there is no cover-up for his abuse being simply that- abuse- so being able to divorce himself and his emotions will be easier for him if he were to receive support or help in some form.

Tweek’s Case

Tweek is an interesting case because while he does have emotional abuse, neglect and and forced substance abuse (coffee and/or meth addiction), he also has canon mental illness that exists outside of how he’s treated. The abuse and neglect of his parents only amplify the effects of said illness. I’ve had a selection of anons over time talk about his potential (though not confirmed) mental state, most agreeing it’s some form of panic disorder (the Tweaks claim it’s ADD, but this is really just a load of bullshit and we all know it). He is often exploited by his parents (ex. “Having a homosexual son is good for the business” in FBW) or outright lied to for the sake of business. They often brush off his worries or ignore him completely.

ACEs 1 and 2: Emotional Abuse and Neglect (EXPLOITATION). The Tweak family are no strangers to emotional abuse and neglect. Right from Tweek’s character introduction, we know something isn’t quite right. His parents feed him excessive coffee, which is later revealed to be laced with meth (did you know that meth increases body temperature, as well as caffeine overdose raising heart rate and induces anxiety? (X) Would you look at that evidence). They also frequently blackmail him into work through the threat of “selling him into slavery”.

His defining traits are usually watered down to “spaz”, and more recently, “homosexual”, hinting that his parents really don’t pay much attention to him to know much more than that. They either ignore or hardly acknowledge his fears and worries, leaving him to cope with anxiety and personal issues completely alone. He’s clearly unhappy and potentially aware of his shitty situation- in Tweek vs Craig, he slams his head against the table repeating that he “want[s] out” and that “you never help me”. In Tweek x Craig, his parents only seem to take interest in his developing relationship due to the rest of the town and their desire to look good. If you use this as anything to go off, most of their “parenting” is feeble attempts to keep up appearances.

In SOT, it’s strongly implied that Tweek is the one to usually pick up meth deliveries from Kenny’s house. This is another form of abuse, though I’m not sure if it’s exactly emotional, that he’s forced to endure. A ten year old child should not be exposed to those sort of environments, let alone be involved in the trade of drugs.

ACE 3: Substance Abuse in the Household. Whether it’s coffee, meth or other form of drugs, there’s something going on in the Tweek home that I am certain counts for this ACE. As stated in the preface, higher numbers of ACEs contribute to higher likelihoods of substance abuse- what if the child is already unintentionally abusing substances? He’s got coffee with METH INSIDE IT. I don’t think I need to go much further. There is also the possibility that with his misdiagnosis of ADD, Tweek may be provided access to other drugs for substance abuse. Meth is actually used as a way of treating ADD (X) and could be in reach for him. There’s also Amphetamine (X) which has noted side effects of "excessive grinding of the teeth,... profuse sweating,... and tics..." which could be related to his behavior. This is all purely speculation, however.

Tweek’s Conclusion:

Tweek’s struggle with mental illness is not helped by his parents frequence abuse and neglect. He’s often blackmailed into situations he doesn’t want to be in. Similar to Cartman, his forms of abuse are often sugarcoated as love, making it a little less obvious for him to pick up on. In contrast to Butters, however, he’s much less of a follower and can throw a punch when he needs to protect himself. He’s incredibly resilient and has managed to, despite early substance addiction and neglect, hold strong and even overcome massive obstacles. Of course, these are partly due to his newfound support from...

The Effect of Solid Support: Craig, Heidi, and Liane

Creek shipper or not, there is no denying that Craig has played a massive role in Tweek’s recovery. While Tweek appears to be very naturally resilient despite the odds stacked against him, the presence of someone who will actually listen to his problems and not brush them off is a huge step in the right direction. With Craig, there is a sense of trust and understanding as well as respect. He’s treated as more than a few buzzwords or free labor or any slew of hurtful remarks. His fears are able to be acknowledged and sorted though, whether it be Craig’s logical talk-throughs or someone to pat his back and say “that sucks and it’s okay” (Put It Down). Ever since the introduction of Craig as his boyfriend, we’ve seen some interesting steps in the right direction.

S21’s main theme of relationships drew a lot of interesting parallels between Creek and Heiman, namely the difference between a healthy relationship and an unhealthy relationship. Similar to Steven Stotch, as mentioned in Butters’ case, Cartman went from abused to abuser in his relationship with Heidi. However, this was not always the case.

In early S20, Heidi was in search of her own form of support after being abused by society, simply put. She was able to find this in Cartman, who was dealing with a similar situation at the time after being “murdered” by his friends. Her presence did arguably turn him around for awhile- he seemed much happier before his self-destructive tendencies and self-doubt came in full swing. The cycle was perpetrated- Heidi wasn’t what he needed, so he went from abused to abuser. Heidi could be argued to have turned into another Cartman because she faced a watered-down version of his interpretation of “love”, aka abuse.

Let’s consider another pivotal moment for Cartman: TSST. This one is such a telling episode. While Liane is the source of most of his issues, when she was able to step into her role as a parent and provide the structure and support Cartman needed, his entire personality turned around. It wasn’t until she began treating him like a friend or companion again that he slipped back into his old ways.

Between these two scenarios, I believe it shows that if the patience and care is taken when dealing with Cartman, there is the possibility of healing. Heidi failed because she too was equally vulnerable and not in the right headspace, ultimately harming both of them (this does not excuse how cartman treated and manipulated her, BTW). Liane failed because she fell back into her cycle instead of sticking with what she had built up.

Conclusion

In conclusion, despite sharing similar ACEs, all three children we’ve discussed have different forms of coping and managing their trauma. The abuse that Butters has faced is easier to “remove” from his life due to no emotional (love) being involved in corporal punishment; however, Tweek and Cartman’s abuse have longer lasting repercussions because they’ve accepted and adapted as “that’s just the way it is”. That’s not to say they’re beyond help; all three, if done soon like in Tweek’s case, can be used to heal.

I leave this post with a sort of “call to action”. While we are talking about purely fictional characters and situations that “aren’t that deep, fam”, there are actual children suffering from these kinds of experiences. If you are aware of them, or see the red flags, please don’t hesitate to get help or find someone who can. Nobody should be like Eric Cartman and display serious red flags but slip under the radar. Thank you very much for reading my long, LONG analysis.

Seasons Tag

Tagged by @lyoufln :)

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

1. which season are you going to play with first? Whatever order they default to I guess. Or if I have to choose, spring because that’s what I consider the first season. I want to play them all eventually, no point in rushing and just playing one until I’m sick of it. 2. from what you’ve seen in the trailer, what are you most excited about? I don’t know, I guess I’m just looking forward to finding out more information at the moment. Will be cool to have new things to do with my sims. 3. what’s your favourite season irl? Whatever one I’m not currently in. 4. what’s your favourite flower/plant? I don’t really have one, I don’t know anything about flowers or plants so I don’t have a favourite. 5. are you going to create a new sim/family or are you going to keep your current household? Assuming it doesn’t break like it did with cats and dogs, I’ll keep playing the Cluiche save. 6. what would you like to see in this new add-on that we haven’t seen yet? I’m intrigued about this whole creating your own holidays feature and I hope it’ll be like the clubs in get together in that there’s a lot you can do with it. Also curious about the calendar. 7. how do you feel about not having a new neighbourhood? Disappointed because I would’ve liked one and I’m not confident yet that the other features will make up for it but it’s not the end of the world and I’d like to see what else the pack has to offer before passing too much judgement. 8. snow, rain, sun or wind? In real life? Sun with a light breeze. 9. favourite refreshing drink in summer? Pepsi max, though I drink that all year round. 10. favourite hot drink in winter? White hot chocolate. 11. walk through the forest or by the beach? The beach, too many bugs in the forest. 12. swimming pool or ocean? I haven’t gone swimming in probably about ten years, but swimming pool. 13. where would you like to travel if you could leave right now for a week? Literally anywhere. Somewhere hidden where I wouldn’t be found for a while. Maybe the woods near my childhood home, or the bottom of the local canal or something. 14. how is the weather today? Probably sunny, it’s kind of warm but not too hot. I haven’t opened my curtains yet. 15. what new traits would you like to see in the new add-on? Whatever, I just want traits that actually add to a sims personality and have a purpose. 16. do you like to play with supernatural creatures like vampires and aliens? and if so, would you like to have witches/fairies/elves? Not really, I prefer playing realistically. But of course I want the supernatural players to get more content too. 17. what is your favourite thing to do during winter? I like walking in the dark when it’s not actually late and spending time with my family on Christmas day. 18. ...during spring? The weather is usually pretty nice in spring. 19. ...during summer? Having people around. My mum works in a school so she gets quite a long holiday in the summer and it’s nice to have her home and spend time with her. 20. ...during autumn? I don't know, autumn is never good. 21. have you already pre-ordered seasons? and if you haven’t, are you going to pre-order it or wait until it comes out? I learned my lesson about pre-ordering with cats and dogs and city living. I pre-ordered both of them and didn’t play city living for like a month because I found the glitch where sims mouths wouldn’t move with their talking too annoying, and I pre-ordered cats and dogs and had to abandon my legacy and start a new save game because it wouldn’t work with the old one. Unlike some other games there is literally no incentive to pre-order sims games so I’m not going to any more. 22. in which neighbourhood are you going to play first with seasons? Willow Creek, because I’ll get it at the end of a round of rotational play and Rose (who lives in Willow Creek) is first in each rotation. 23. do you listen to music while playing? and if so, what are your favourite songs to play to? I don’t listen to music while playing. 24. what’s your favourite thing to do in the sims? creating sims, building, etc? Honestly my favourite thing is probably posting on this blog. I like playing families, building a family tree and seeing the genetics of sims and I like building sometimes but I have to be in the mood for it. When building I like trying to recreate buildings from other games rather than trying to come up with something from scratch. 25. what’s your favourite kit/pack/add-on? My favourite EP is probably cats and dogs, just because I’m a sucker for animals even though it wasn’t anything groundbreaking. Favourite GP would be parenthood and favourite SP is toddler stuff for the CAS items, though I struggled to find much use for the build/buy items (other than the little slide, that’s cute). 26. and finally, what add-on/pack would you like to see next? Maybe university/college for a paid pack. But the main thing I want is more stairs, which I wouldn’t want to pay for and would want patched in. Tagging anyone and everyone.

Thanks for the tags @giggles-and-freckles and @katierosefun!

Name: Emma

Fandoms: My top ones right now are Star Wars (specifically Clone Wars/Prequels) and Avatar: The Last Airbender! But I'm always interested in a whole bunch of things!

Most popular one-shot: In the A:TLA fandom, that would be The Warmth of my Heart! Every time I log on, I'm just absolutely blown away by the response! As of today, it has 1,268 kudos and nearly 8,000 hits. I...don't know why haha it's good but not that good??? Anyway! In the SW realm, that would be Hold Onto Me! I'm glad of that because this quickly became one of my favorite fics I've ever written. Plus, it's Zygerria and we all know I go feral for Zygerria fics...

Most popular multichapter: That would be To Light and Guard! The writing for this SUCKS right now because I wrote it fresh after watching season 6 of Clone Wars and honestly I was so new to the fandom, I had no right writing fic yet lol, but I'm going to revamp it because I LOVE the idea. It's basically a what-if fix-it fic where Anakin is trained in Jedi healing arts.

Actual worst part of writing: oh gosh um I'm a perfectionist so like...if I don't feel like it's perfect, then I hate it. I hate it so much. That's why a lot of my fic never gets on ao3. I write way more than I say or publish. I just absolutely despise a lot of what I write...perfectionism yay...

How you choose your titles: I write and listen to music and pray something comes to mind! That either means something in my story sparks and idea or a song lyric catches in my brain! A couple times I actually managed to come up with an idea through neither of these methods but that's a rarity.

Do you outline: Nope! Sometimes, if I have a huge fic or really good ideas, I make notes! But they're always messy and never clear to anyone except me, I'm sure. They're often just splashes of dialogue and vague emotions, little things I want to include.

Ideas I probably won't get around to, but wouldn't it be nice? Ooh I don't even know... I would love to write a deception arc era fic with other characters finding out Obi-Wan is "dead" but I'm sure my perfectionism would get in the way, plus I just don't have enough there to make a whole fic. I just have vague scenes and bits of dialogue. I probably won't ever write it down.

Callouts @ me: Oh man uhhhh CALM DOWN. Stop stressing about what people think. You're writing fic for you and if one other person enjoys it too, you've done an EXCELLENT job! It doesn't have to be perfect! It's ok, honey, take a breath <3

Best writing traits: Ummmm this one is really hard because as I said I tend to hate my writing??? Perfectionism ha BUT going off what my friends tell me, I'm really good at drawing emotions out of scenes. I'm a highly empathetic person. If I see another person laugh, I laugh. If I see another person cry, I cry. I might not know WHY, but I feel their emotion SO STRONGLY. That happens when I write, especially a sad scene. I feel it so, so much, and it comes out through the characters.

Spicy Tangential Opinion: You really want to ask me this??? Ha gosh ok...mmmm...I have a few and it's hard to choose ONE. I have to go with defending the Star Wars sequels. Listen...I know they suck, I know they did the universe and Luke Skywalker dirty. BUT. They brought me into the fandom full force. I've always been a huge Star Wars fan. When I was a little kid, I wanted to be Luke. Going to see TFA at sixteen...dang son, I loved Rey. I loved everyone. I loved all the sequel movies. And after I saw Rise of Skywalker three times in theaters, I got on Disney+ desperate for more content and found Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian... Anyway, the sequels suck but I absolutely adore the characters, the scenery, the CHARACTERS, and many of the plot movements! They aren't as horrible as some people will make them out to be and I will defend them to my last breath. I have so many other spicy opinions though, oops, which is funny because I'm not really a spicy opinions type person I'm actually really chill skdksksk

Some chill tags for @hellowkatey @stolen-pen-name23 and anyone else who wants to pitch in!!!

starting a new thread for this because the other was getting looooong, but I was tagged by @vanilla-chip-101​ (thank you!!!)

Name: Abi (well, actually Abigail, but no one calls me that unless they want to be punched in the throat ❤️️)

Fandoms: Star Wars (mostly prequels and TCW!)

Most popular one-shot: I’m not sure what constitutes most popular and my writing is so sporadically divided across ao3 and here (which have very different interaction ratios), but I remember brilliant getting lots of love and making me feel warm and cozy

Most popular multichapter: filling the gaps is a WIP, but it’s been fun to see support for that! (I have the entire thing mostly complete now, but I have one scene in the next chapter that I have been wrestling for a while and it’s just not working for me…but update coming soon! hopefully! lol remember when I was going to try and update that one weekly?)

Actual worst part of writing: TITLES and SUMMARIES! I am so ridiculously uncreative when it comes to these. It’s a crushing blow to every fic I write.

How you choose your titles: I cry and hope God has mercy on me and will provide divine inspiration. Or, alternatively, I fall back on Taylor Swift lyrics or a random line in the fic that probably isn’t an accurate moniker for the work, but is adequate enough to push it over to posting.

Do you outline: uhh, next question please. No. ❤️️

Ideas I probably won’t get around to, but wouldn’t it be nice? Ha! Um, so many? But right now I’m thinking about this adventure fic with disaster trio and padmé which is basically just everyone making fun of Anakin and trying not to die for a few thousand words straight.

Callouts @ Me: LEARN HOW TO BE SUCCINCT. Prompts make me literally cackle because I’ll start typing what I hope to be a ficlet and then BOOM its 2k+ and just…not what I was going for.

Best writing traits: Witty dialogue? Sometimes? On a good day? And a pretty strong grasp on the characters (or at least my own interpretation of the…which maybe makes this not an actually good writing trait haha whoopsie).

Spicy Tangential Opinion: I have lots but I’ve said this one before so I’ll just repeat it so as not to step on more toes. I have a hard time getting behind any Master/Padawan pairings, unless it’s AU and that aspect of their relationship is eliminated between them. The age doesn’t bother me as much; it’s mostly the power imbalance. (But also like I’ve said–I support those of you who love these ships!! It’s completely just a personal preference.)

And hmm, no pressure tags for @kckenobi @katierosefun @pandora15 @the13thbattalion  @cloudyskywars & any of you other beautiful writing humans!! 

[lassieposting]

Mevolent for the ask game please?

ive reblogged a couple ask games today bc i fucked up my queue so i didnt know which one you meant? so u get both whooo

ask game 1

Sexuality Headcanon: he’s honestly not paid enough attention to sex/romance to be sure. he’s been a bit busy with taking over the world. 

Gender Headcanon: cis dude

A ship I have with said character: mev x vile is my trash otp

A BROTP I have with said character: im quite fond of mev and china. 

A NOTP I have with said character: i came across a mevolent/valkyrie fic once a long time ago and kind of involuntarily shivered a lil so im gonna go with that. but i don’t really have a hardcore notp for him

A random headcanon: 

General opinion over said character: i would’ve liked to see more of him! i mean, his involvement in kotw and tdotl didn’t really warrant a bigger role than the one he had, but i’d like to read more about him during the war, the battles with the dead men, why he was the way he was etc. like this dude was the voldemort of the sp world, the most powerful evil sorcerer, i guess i would’ve liked to see him as more of a Big Bad rather than a minor antagonist? but tbh i like that he was like. idk. normal? in the scene where he was talking to val? bc a lot of the time the worst monsters are just ordinary people and. like. you talk to them and you’re surprised? bc this person is so awful, but they’re just…normal. they’re not what you imagined from what you’ve been told about them. yeah. i liked that. 

ask game 2

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff

best quality: i mean? we don’t really see many canon positive traits from mevolent. because we don’t see him interacting with anyone he actually likes. so this is all headcanon, but i imagine him having a pretty good sense of humour. 

worst quality: the whole ‘power-hungry psychopathic dictator’ thing isn’t great, lbh

ship them with: vile. i love the ‘even evil has loved ones’ trope. and just. murder power couple. shrug. i know, i’m crackship trash

brotp them with: china. he helped her design her self-destruct tattoo, and there don’t seem to be many people who have the same ability as china who are on her level, so presumably he was someone she could talk symbol magic with, and it’s implied he trusted her.  

needs to stay away from: everyone tbh 

[proxylynn]

Dreemurr Academy #1 (FellSwap Papyrus)

Dreemurr Academy, a prestigious closed-off college for monsters and humans alike of all ages and worlds.

This includes myself, though I'm sort of a in-between.

I'm Lynsie, the human anomaly. I'm a human, but I can do magic like monsters. I'm an oddball.

That's the thing about making a school that is open to multiple alternate dimensions. Weird things are bound to show up. Even a bunch of the same person. From what I saw on orientation day, the same faces are scattered around all around.

To fix these type of issues, everyone that has a multiple or doppelganger is given a school name so there's no confusion.

Other than that, it's fairly normal. The hierarchy is the simple.

The Deans are made up of the same people, skeleton monsters that go by the name of Gaster. One is a teacher of the Sciences, goes by Wingding. He's a kind and understanding man, but is known to pull a prank or two. They all speak in a typeface sign language but use telepathy magic so others understand. It's been said no one has ever heard their real voices and those that have are no longer at the academy.

Another Gaster dean teaches Home Economics, he goes by Wingy. He's a bubbly sweet guy that loves his work. Nothing makes him smile more than seeing the joy on a student's face when they take pride in being able to do something they first thought they couldn't.

Another Gaster dean teaches the studies of Magic, he is called Fall. At times, he can be cynical, malicious, and sarcastic. He has a commanding presence that exuded gravitas, authority and control, able to keep a class quiet without effort. Yet there is a kindness to him, it's rarely seen, but not unheard of.

Another Gaster dean teaches History, his nickname is Dings. A cold, bitter, and sometimes childish man. He tends to hold grudges against troublesome students and is extremely spiteful toward those whom he dislikes. Yet those that can take his punishments are rewarded with his respect. He is a teacher that commands respect and who's grades are earned with doom hanging over your head.

The Professors are also skeleton monsters, but not all are the same person. The Psychology professor is a guy named Papyrus but goes by Stretch. He's the favorite among students because he's so laid back. He chews a tooth pick in class to suppress his urge to smoke, but we all know he does so when on break. He's really good at reading students and helps out when able. All in all, he's the cool teacher.

The Literature professor is a Papyrus that is called Fell. He is the one teacher everyone dreads. Very strict and old fashioned. He does not tolerate interruptions and will humiliate those he feel need to be taken down a notch. Such things take there toll on him and often squeezes a stress ball that he keeps in his desk. But he is a very passionate man when it comes to his work and takes his subject seriously, even though this makes him into a bit of a grammar nazi which is why many students get low grades.

The Biology professor is a skeleton called Sans that sometimes goes by Classic, whatever that means. He is very cheesy and comes off as lazy, making puns that have people cringe yet secretly love them. He is very protective of his students and will go out of his way to help them. He does not tolerate bulling of any kind and can be quite scary. He's the second favorite among the students.

The Physical Education professor is also a Sans that goes by Pain. He is also a stern and old school type of teacher, only he tends to be more cruel in humiliation of students that are unprepared. While his scope is all around, he prefers the darker side of the study. Using borderline violence to weed out the weak that think taking his class is a easy A. There is mercy in his dojo, but it must be earned with blood, sweat, and tears.

The Students are broken into four groups based on which part of the four years they are currently in. The first years are called freshmen. Second years are sophomores. Third years are juniors. And fourth years are seniors. There are some variations on this topic, but this hierarchy of college students is still readily recognizable by everyone.

Me? This isn't my first rodeo but not my last. I'm a sophomore and have gotten the gist of who's who and what's what. I get along with students and teachers. I've always been a middle ground type of girl.

I didn't come looking for friends, but they just seemed to find me. Funny enough, my buddies are the brothers of the professors. Stretch's brother is a freshman, his name is Sans but goes by Rascal. Fell's brother, also a Sans, is a sophomore like me and goes by Edgy. Classic's brother is a Papyrus, a freshman that goes by Papy. And Pain's brother is a sophomore Papyrus by the name of Slim.

I've always been a tomboy. I prefer the guys company. They're different and fun, even if they can be a bit odd sometimes.

Rascal, as the nickname implies, is the school clown/prankster. He likes to test his limits and challenge authority, even dishevels his uniform to assert his individuality. He comes off as a slacker, but secretly very deep, clever, and loyal to a fault. He likes taking his brother's class so he can improve his skills with messing with people, mostly his brother as he disrupts his teachings when he sees a chance.

Edgy is shy around new people and slow to open up, enjoying a laugh with friends when able. Though he appears weak or even nerdy because of his glasses, he is far more tougher than he leads on. He doesn't take crap from anyone. When alone, he's angsty and borders on straight up angry. Getting a pissy attitude when annoyed. Like his brother, he is very passionate about literature and does his best to impress his brother, going so far as to become the teacher's pet.

Papy is easily the most loveable guy in the whole school. Very cheerful and optimistic, he tries his best no matter what. He doesn't like conflict and tries to keep his brother out of trouble when the teacher pulls a prank. I find it sweet of him to take his brother's class even though he doesn't particularly enjoy it, just so he can stay close to him. Like I said, this guy is a loveable soul.

Slim is easy going. He doesn't take things too seriously and never breaks a sweat over hard exams. The only thing that breaks his cool is his smoking, he really gets tense if he goes too long without his fix. He's incredibly smart and instinctual, good traits to have when dealing with his brother. While he does attend his brother's class, he merely does so as a request of his brother who likes to make sure he doesn't slack off due to not being challenged enough.

All of them are oddly related to each other in some form. Gaster's, Papyrus's, and Sans's are brothers. Yet I see them all as different people. I value them. They're helping me even if they don't know it. I am not so confident in myself. I tend to isolate myself, go at things lone wolf style. It's how I've always been. Then I met them and slowly my world began to expand bit by bit. I'm still not comfortable with others. But with them, I can step out from behind my mask for a bit, and really be myself around them.

Today is a typical day. Classes have so far been good. Again, knowing how to get by and being ready for them helps big time. Right now it's lunch break and as normal, I eat on the roof, away from others. I found a way to get up here not long into my first year and I treat it as my personal escape. My island in a sea of uniformed faces. I don't really care for the uniforms. Girls have to wear skirts, I hate it because of perverts taking up-skirt pics.

Finishing my sandwich and sipping on a soda, I look up at the sky. The wind is blowing gently but dark clouds are moving in fast.

"It's going to rain today."

"you know what that means, don't you?"

Slim sparks up a smoke as he comes through the door. He and a few of the others know about this spot.

"Yeah. In-door P.E...You think your little bro will do swimming and not that shitty rope thing or doge ball?"

"*puff* don't know. but you know him. he likes to make others squirm."

"That's true."

He comes over and sits beside me.

"though i know i wouldn't mind if we did swimming."

"Why?"

"to see the girls in their swimsuits of course."

"Heheh...Why am I not surprised you'd say that, naughty bones."

"because you get to check me out too, silly sinner."

We share a lighthearted laugh. Out of the four of them, I'm most open with Slim. His nonjudgmental calm attitude puts out a safe vibe that has me like a book he can easily scroll through and I'd know he wouldn't share it's contents. I value how he is with me and it means a lot that he lets me do the same.

"Can I ask a personal question?"

"what about?"

"What got you into smoking?"

He looks at me funny.

"why?"

"Just curious. I understand the chemical reason for why you keep smoking. But I don't get what makes someone start."

"am i the first person you knew that smoked?"

"Nope. Most my family does. But you are the first person I've known with a real gold fangs. Edgy is second with only one."

"heh...and you never tried smoking yourself?"

"Never. That goes for any drugs or booze too."

"man...you're really clean cut. *puff* but if you want...i can bum you one to try."

"Heh...Nah man. I'm cool."

"that you are. *puff* i don't remember why i started. wish i had a better vice than this...like you."

"What do you mean?"

He looks surprised, a small hint of color dust his cheekbones and he waves me off.

"nothing."

What was that about?

"can i ask you a personal question or two?"

"Sure."

"first...why do you try so hard in my big bro's class?"

"I don't. Why?"

"you're his favorite student. i hear him at home when he's grading papers...*puff* what is wrong with these morons?! why aren't they half as smart as lynsie?! i need more students like lynsie!"

I snicker.

"Please, I'm not that smart. You're way smarter than me. He just likes the detail I give. Remember when he had me explain what the difference between a judas cradle and a spanish donkey was?"

"heheh...yeah. you made six people puke and he kicked them out of class for not having the stomach to handle the gory truth."

"Yep...Bad luck for them it was pasta day in the cafeteria. Bet the janitor would hate me if he knew."

He laughs and takes another huff of smoke.

"So...What was the other question?"

"huh? oh...right. so...me and the guys were wondering something. *puff* are you seeing anyone?"

I nearly choke on my soda.

"Dude...For real?"

"we pulled straws to see who would come find you to ask. luckily you only go to one place and i can smoke here."

"Wow...And we're talking the gang here? All four of you guys?"

"i can't speak for everyone. well papy is still unsure, but he wouldn't mind going on a date to see what it's like. *puff* but me? ...can i try something?"

"Sure man. I trust you."

He slowly puts his hand on mine and tingles shiver up my spine.

"Whoa..."

"what? you felt something?"

"Is that normal?"

He blushes and his eyes seem to hold more life than his normal lethargy. Is this a good thing?

"yeah...just...*takes one last long drag then puts his cigarette out* let me do one more thing."

He brings his other hand up to move some hair from my face and cups the back of my head, slowly pulling me closer as he leans in, making me blush deeply when we kiss, sending more tingles into me.

My eyes flutter as he lingers, even with my mouth closed I can taste him, smoke mixed with a hint of barbecue sauce, weird yet oddly good, he pulls away just a couple inches and licks his teeth cooly.

"did you feel anything from that?"

He kissed me? He really kisses me? My brain can't process this.

"Uh-huh..."

"was it good?"

"I...I think so..."

"...was that...was that your first kiss?"

"N-no. I kissed before. I think I was...seven or eight? It's just...This...It's different. It...That had feeling."

He looks me in the eyes and smiles as he presses his forehead to mine.

"god you're cute when flustered."

"Don't tease me bonehead!"

"or you'll what?"

I shrug.

"Don't know. I got nothing."

"heh...adorable."

"Don't do that."

"do what?"

"You're treating me different. Stop it."

"so you'd treat me the same even if you liked me?"

"Yeah. Sure, I'd show a bit more affection than I normally do, but I wouldn't change everything just to win you over. I'd want you to want me for me."

"lynsie...i want you."

He claims my lips again, only rougher, and when I move to push him for breath he breaks away on his own when it starts to drip from the sky. Still holding my hand, he pulls me back into the building and once we're inside he shoves me against the door.

"S-slim?"

"don't be scared. i just want to be with you a little longer before we head back."

"Sorry. I'm not used to this kind of thing."

"used to what? a guy wanting you?"

"Pretty much, yes."

"...you make it really hard not to want you when your innocence screams 'oh papyrus, take me now, i need you and your loving'."

I can't help the giggles that escape me.

"I'm sorry...But that's funny as fuck..."

"okay, i get it. you're not interested in me."

"Hey! I never said that."

He eyes me.

"so...i have a shot?"

I blush.

"You and the guys have a better shot than anyone else here."

"then...if i were to, oh i don't know...ask you out?"

"I'd be fine with that."

"yes!"

He laughs in victory.

"then how about you and me get together, oh, let's say...after school today?"

"Heh...You really want this, huh?"

"i've wanted you since last year."

"What made you come out like this then? I mean, you didn't really seem interested in me like that before."

"i didn't think i'd have competition. it was just you, me, and edgy. he, to me, didn't seem like he was interested in dating. my plan was that i was going to slowly woo you. then rascal and papy joined the mix. while papy is as innocent as you, rascal on the other hand...he's the troublemaker in this. instigating the others to try for you. and hearing them talk about planning on asking you out...hell, a guy's gotta make an effort when he needs to, you know?"

I can't help but smile.

"Now who's the adorable one?"

"what?"

"You got jealous."

"...i am not jealous."

"No, but you got worried that one of them would get to me before you. That's cute of you to care that much."

He blushes and looks at me as if I've smacked him.

"Slim? You okay?"

I bring a hand to his face in concerned comfort and the second skin touches bone his eyes flash blood orange.

Next thing I know, I'm now on the wall next to the door, pinned there in the strong embrace of his arms and body pressing into me, his mouth smothering mine in a heated kiss, even snaking his tongue in when I gasp for air.

His hands, one is kneading into my spine while the other laces itself into my hair, his ribs are pressed hard to my chest and one of his legs mingles between mine, slowly rubbing them together, making me feel weird yet slightly good from all the tingles swarming my body.

"mmmmmm...you taste so sweet.~"

"Slim..."

"too much? do you want me to stop?"

He flinches when I put my arms around him.

"Slim...This feels really nice."

He breathes a sigh of relief.

"oh thank god...i thought i fucked up."

"You okay though? You're really flushed and wa-! *sheepish laugh* Getting eager there huh?"

He had pressed his hip to my own.

"sorry. i've just wanted this for so long. *shudders* look at that...we fit together."

"Careful naughty bones. You don't want to get caught now, do you?"

"actually...that's kind of turning me on~. besides..."

He leans into my ear and nibbles it lightly.

"who's going to bust us~?"

"There's not a lot of time before the bell rings."

"then maybe we shouldn't waste anymore time~."

He kisses his way down my neck, licking and nipping at the skin, making me shudder much to his delight.

"spread your legs for me baby~."

I flinch.

"Y-you can't be serious? Here? Now? We just started this relationship thingy."

"shhhhh...it's okay. i won't rush you. i just thought i'd give my girl a good time~. but...nothing would make me happier than to hear you bliss out and say my name. *humps* over...*humps* and over...*humps* and over...*humps* and over again~."

The way he moves his body against mine has my head lulling back and he knows he has me now.

"so lynise...do you want to have a good time with me~?"

"Fuck Slim...*lip bite* Why do you have to be so damn tempting?"

"heh...well you know what they say...patience and persistence make an unbeatable combination for success."

"Damn it smartass..."

"yes~?"

"...Not here. Outside."

"in the rain?"

"It'll take the scent off and make it less suspicious as to why we'd look like a mess."

He looks at me in shock.

"that...makes sense."

"One of us has to think ahead and not with their boner."

"...i'd laugh if i wasn't holding back taking you right here."

"Get to walking numbskull. Before I change my mind."

He grins excitedly and can't open the door fast enough, ushering me out into the now pouring storm before returning to me. He loosens his shirt collar and tie then kisses me deeply, pulling me to him.

"to be honest, i didn’t think you wanna do this. what with, you know...me, being a skeleton and all."

"*sigh* Slim, I could care less if you're a skeleton. Hell, in all honesty that increases your odds. I'm not interested in other humans."

"really?"

"Yeah. I've never seen monsters in the same way as humans. Monsters are just so...What's the word...Enticing? But in your case...Dude...I've seen girls check you out. You are a fine set of bones."

"awww...you flatterer."

"No. I mean it. Any girl would be lucky to land a catch like you. You're smart, funny, handsome..."

He cuts me off with sudden hungry kiss.

"only you can have me babe. i want only you."

"...Damn you and your alluring skeletal ways!"

I pull his tie and kiss him back much to his surprise. But he is quick to keep it going, adding tongue and earning him a slight moan from me.

"now aren’t you all excited and ready. heh...well little missy...shall we get to it then?"

"You're getting off on this aren't you?"

"you have no idea~."

He chuckles before kissing me again. Moving to feel along my body, taking in every curve and enjoying the sounds he's able to pull out of me.

"mmmmmm~. *huffs* here, let me just..."

He moves me so my back is on the wall and he unzips his pants. Freeing his blood orange magical erection. My jaw nearly snaps off. Dude...Is...Huge!

"there, much better. *snickers* hmmm you look surprised."

"Dude...You are going to break me."

He seems proud of my words and leans in on one arm over me.

"i promise to be gentle babe. i'd never hurt you. *kiss* now...spread your legs a bit."

This feels so weird, but I do as requested.

"yeah...good girl."

"You really are getting off on thi-Shit!"

His free hand has wandered down between my legs and rubs into my underwear before letting a finger slip under the fabric to touch me. My reaction earning him satisfaction.

"oooh, you're really wet down there~. seems i'm not the only one getting off on this."

"M-maybe a little."

"heh...such a silly sinner you are."

He brings his hand up to his mouth and sucks on the finger that touched me with a shit eating grin.

"and a tasty one too~."

I almost pass out from the amount of blood rushing to my face. But he keeps me stable with his kiss. His gentleness and soft touches lull me under his spell. His fingers return to teasing me down there and I mewl.

"o...you like that? then what if i...press...a little...deeper...*penetrates* how...does this...fe-ohhh...hoooo wow...squeezing on me already? such a naughty girl you are~."

He chuckles and buries his face into my hair as I shudder against him.

"S-slim...fuck man...It's so good...Slim..."

"hhnmm your voice is so sexy...ghnn...let me see those lips. *hungrily kisses while he touches me*"

"*moans into the kiss* You drive me crazy..."

"heh...is that a bed thing?"

"Not one bit."

"hehehe...mmmm...i'm gonna slip another finger inside...okay?"

"O-okay. *sharp gasps into a low moan*"

"hmm...ahhh that's my baby...hhnmm i could listen to you sing all day..."

I get a little bold and reach down to touch him.

"*gasp* l-lynsie?"

"I'm sorry. I just thought..."

"n-no...just wasn't expecting you to do it. please...keep going~."

I smile and grant his wish, making him keen. Now I see why he was enjoying this so much. This sense of control and feeling of pride, knowing you are the one that is making this person feel pleasure...It's sexy...He rocks into my hand, tongue starting to dangle out as the pleasure floods him.

"ffffuck...h-have you done t-this before?"

"First time."

"s-scored the fucking j-jackpot with you...gonna move my hand a little faster babe...gotta get you on my level haha...ghhn...ahhh o-oh...*speeds up his fingers*"

"Oooooh...Slim...Aaah-aaah-oooh...Yes...Yes..."

"oooo...haha, mmmm you're likin' that a lot, huh?"

"Yes...Fuck yes...It's so good...You're amazing!"

"hmmmm...that's my baby...my sweet baby doll...ooooh...your legs are shaking...hhnmm...you're gettin' clooooseee...*deep groan*"

He removes his fingers from me and I whine desperately at the loss of contact. But he just snickers at me and removes my hand from his length with a hiss. After all that stimulation we need more and he gets kind of aggressive.

"alright kitten, arch your back."

"What?"

"lift your hips...now."

I move as he tells me and he reaches down, one hand hold's his member while the other moves my underwear out of the way. Taking aim, he pressed it to me, moving the tip to stir in my juices and gets it slick before slowly pushing the tip inside.

"yeah, that's it...that's my girl. i'm sliding right in."

"Slim..."

"no! use my name. my real name."

"Papyrus."

He shudders hard before lifting me off the ground, pinning me to the wall and shoving the rest of his length inside, making me grip onto him tightly, my legs pretzel around his hip, as a wincing moan of pain escapes me.

"*groans* oooooh, yeah~. there you go...all of me is yours now~. *moans* mmmmmm...so tight and warm~. i didn't hurt you did i?"

"*whimpers* So big...H-how are fitting in there?"

"...are you...were you...a virgin?"

"The word 'was' being the...*hiss* operative word..."

He frowns and nuzzles into my cheek.

"this really is your first time...i'm sorry baby. let me make the pain go away."

He peppers me with soft kisses and nuzzles, doing his best to sooth me. Slowly his care starts to work its magic. Mostly because he is using magic to add a little healing into his actions.

"how you feeling now sweetie?"

"Better. Still sore..."

"it'll get better, i promise."

"Okay...*shaky breathes* Y-you can move."

"are you sure?"

"Yeah...*gulp* Let's do this...Papyrus."

Saying his name gives him the push he needs to start moving, slowly easing himself out to the tip and pushing back in as careful as he can. The pain lingers for a bit, then it gives way to all sorts of good feelings. The tingling sparks that come from just touching him flood me till all I know is pleasure. And seeing me enjoy him lets him know he can go faster. Letting himself give in to the ecstasy of it all.

"s-such a g-good girl...m-my girl...*moaning* oh yeah, there ya go...oooooh...there ya go, you like that huh~?"

"*groaning* P-papyrus...I'm y-yours...Yes...Yes, don't stop~."

I try rocking my hips in his grip and he thrusts into it, increasing our moaning.

"oh yeah...oh, there ya go...there's my baby! oh, oh yeah, you're so beautiful, you're so great!"

"Yes...Oh Papyrus...It's so good! Take me! I need it! Harder! More please!"

"oh yeah...come on lynsie...you can moan better..."

He thrusts particularly hard and I almost scream.

"there ya go, ah, there ya-ah god! oooh...oh...oooh lynsie..."

"P-papyrus...So hard...So tight...So hot...Oooooh...Ah...Aahh..."

My stomach is tightening and I can feel him starting to twitch inside me, his thrusting getting crazy.

"Sl-P-papyrus...Getting tighter...It hurts..."

"oh yeah? my baby's getting close?"

"I need you~!"

"beg for me...beg me to help you cum~."

"*needy whimpers* Papyrus..."

"yes~?"

"Baby needs you to help her feel good~."

"hi want you to cum for me lynsie...hhhnn...i wanna hear you cry out...cry out my name as you let go..."

He shudders a moan and steals my breath in a mind blowing kiss. His hips start slamming into me at a hectic speed, wanting to take me over the edge and finish with him.

"lynsie...are you ready huh? are you fucking ready?!"

"Yes Papyrus! Yes please! *groans* Please give it to me!"

"*moans* there ya go, good girl!"

I can feel it, this tightness is just about to snap. My arms and legs are practically crushing around him. My sight blurs out and everything clenches up.

"Papyrus...I think...Aah! I'm about to..."

"ayeah...let me hear that hot release...cum for me baby..."

"A-Aahhnn...Ooh f-fuck yeesss...yeah...Ohnn...mnhnn...Ahhhn..."

"o-oh, oh god! oh god, i'm gonna...i'm gonna, i'm gonna cum!"

"Aaahh...Papyrus! ! Aaahhnn ahhhh...ooohh...ooohhhh y-yeeaahhh...Ahhhhnn..."

He bites down hard on the crook of my neck with a yell of my name and pounds into me as climax hits us both. The tightness undoes as fluid gushes from me and mixes with the hot load of liquid magic that is sent flooding into my core. He keeps moving for a little bit, small sallow thrusts to ride out our duel release and makes sure every drop was milked into my body.

Weakly, he pulls his mouth from my neck and I wince at the feeling of his sharp teeth leaving my bloody flesh. Gently he laps at the blood, his tongue coating the wound in healing magic to stop the bleeding and sooth the pain.

"ahn, yeah...so g-good...i c-came inside...you're such a good girl...oh god i'm s-still c-cumming!"

"Heh...P-poor baby...You have so much l-love to give...Mmmm...Give me all of it...It feels so good~."

"hehehe...careful babe. if you keep takin' sexy like that, i might just start this party again."

"Mmmm...I wouldn't mid if you did~."

Still connected, he chuckles as he waits till he's done emptying his load. Slowly we recover, the panting we were doing eventually returning to normal before he sets me back down on my shaky legs and rubs my cheeks tenderly, making me purr with a smile.

"oh yeah, you're my girl alright. and you always will be..."

He tilts my neck and kisses the bite mark he made.

"my sweet treat~."

I giggle as he pulls out. The magic making up his member fades away and he zips his pants up as I fix my underwear.

"Sweet treat huh? Maybe I can replace your cigarettes as your new craving."

"oh, you know i'll be wanting more. in fact...i might need a fix after our date~."

"Careful dear, you don't want to rot your teeth on all this sugar."

"heh...be worth it though."

I giggle as the bell rings.

"Damn. Well...Back to class we go."

"not yet."

"But Papyrus..."

He shuts me up with a kiss and pulls the band from my hair, letting it fall freely.

"can't have people seeing that mark...not yet at least."

"Fair enough."

I straighten his shirt and tie much to his content.

"Ready to go, my bone-friend?"

"heh...sure thing, my babe."

He starts walking and I follow.

"i'm keeping this hair tie."

"But it's mine."

"all the more reason to keep it. it belongs to my girl."

"Awww."

He rests his arm around my shoulders as we head back inside. Each step was a squishy fart joke that has us laughing. We were a odd sight, but who cares. We had each other. And being in love beats looking normal any day.

However, upon getting to our next class, well...

"THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU TWO? WHY ARE YOU BOTH SOAKED?!"

No way we're talking about what happened on the roof.

"Sorry sir, it's all my fault. I got upset earlier and Slim here followed me to the roof. That's when the door jammed and well...Long story short, stuck in the rain and took forever to get back in the building. Please, forgive us."

Slim is surprised I'd take the blame here and already have a cover story. His younger brother, Pain the P.E. teacher on the other hand, is suspicious but can't really pinpoint as to why.

"FINE. BUT SINCE YOU TWO ARE THREE MINUTES PASS BELL CALL...YOU'LL BE PARTICIPATING IN CLASS AS YOU ARE. NO CHANGING OUT YOUR UNIFORMS.

We both groan in annoyance.

"Are you for real right now?"

"hang on...what in-door activity are you having us do?"

Pain gives us a crooked smile.

"WHY...THE GAUNTLET OF COURSE."

The gym is filled with groans. The gauntlet is a grueling obstacle course that is made up of five parts. First is a series of hurdles, some you jump over and others you duck under. Then there's the stepping stones, small but heavy stumps that one must jump across without fail. Next is the warped wall, a large wall we have to run up in order to get over. The rope climb is next, reach the top and ring the bell to continue. Lastly there's the balancing barrage, it's basically a balance beam that's about five feet high and you have to cross it while avoiding Pain who throws dodge balls at you. And if at any point you mess up, you have to start all over again from the beginning.

This would be bad enough on its own. But when you add wet clothing that weighs you down and the fact I'm in a fucking skirt...Well that's a new level of hell all by itself.

So far I'm doing fine. The gauntlet is pretty easy for me except for the rope climb. I have weak upper body strength, so the rope really kills my time when I try to speed run. But again...I'm climbing up a rope in a skirt...and I'm soaking wet. Guess what happens next.

"*wolf whistles* Nice view!"

"Best P.E. ever!"

"*snarls* Piss off perverts!"

"Hey, swing around more!"

"Yeah! Work it girl!"

"*growls* I swear to god, I will fucking end...you...?"

I trail off at the sight I see approaching the small group of boys. Slim is not happy. Even from as high as I am, I can see the blood orange glow of his glaring eyes. All I can do is watch.

"hey, fuck wads..."

In the blink of a eye, the first boy to turn around, a monster named Aaron, is punched square in the jaw and is sent flying.

"PAPYRUS!"

Slim ignores his brother.

"lynsie...come here."

His voice is dark and spine chilling...I obey without question. Dropping down to stand by him, he grabs me harshly and kisses me just as rough, enough to draw blood when he bites my lip.

"this is mine. *shows the bite mark on my neck* if anyone messes with my girl, you're gonna have a very fucked up time."

Ignoring the stares coming our way, I'm stunned at this level of possessiveness Slim has. It's actually kind of a turn on to know how much he values me as his. This warms my heart to no end.

"YOU, GO TO THE NURSE'S OFFICE. AND YOU TWO...MY OFFICE. NOW! AS FOR THE REST OF YOU, WHO TOLD YOU TO STOP? KEEP RUNNING THE COURSE AND DON'T STOP TILL I SAY SO!"

The class groans as Pain takes Slim and me to his office. And he is not happy.

"SO...MIND EXPLAINING WHAT THE HELL THAT WAS ALL ABOUT?"

"i said my piece already."

I feel so awkward. I want to defend Slim, but I'm afraid if I speak I'll say something that will only mess things up more.

"WELL? LAST CHANCE."

We don't say a word.

"*sigh* OKAY...DROPPING THE TEACHER THING. HONESTLY I COULDN'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOU HITTING SOME LITTLE SHIT. FRANKLY, ALL THOSE PRICKS HAVE IT COMING TO THEM. THERE'S ONLY SO MANY TIMES YOU CAN WRITE UP IDIOTS FOR HARASSMENT BEFORE SOMEONE SNAPS."

This has us eye him and listen to what he has to say.

"SO WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY, NOW KNOWING THAT YOU'RE NOT IN TROUBLE FOR THAT...ARE EITHER OF YOU WILLING TO ANSWER ONE QUESTION FOR ME?"

"that depends."

"What's the question?"

"HOW LONG HAS 'THIS' BEEN A THING?"

I blush but Slim seems proud and smirks.

"what ever do you mean, bro?"

"DON'T PLAY STUPID PAPYRUS. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MARK MEANS. DID YOU EVEN EXPLAIN THAT TO HER? BECAUSE JUDGING BY THE EXPRESSION ON HER FACE, YOU HAVEN'T."

Now I'm worried.

"it means she's mine."

"YES, IT DOES...AS YOUR MATE."

I pale like ghost and Slim blushes in shock as Pain smacks his forehead.

"w-what?"

"Wait...Does this mean we're married?!"

"I FUCKING KNEW IT. THIS IS THE REASON I KEEP TRYING TO PUSH THE SEXUAL EDUCATION LESSONS TO THE START OF THE YEAR. TO PREVENT STUPID SHIT LIKE THIS FROM HAPPENING. LUCKILY, THERE IS A WAY TO REVERSE THIS."

Pain gets up from behind his desk and heads for the door.

"NO ONE IS GOING TO MAKE EITHER OF YOU DO ANYTHING. THE CHOICE IS YOURS TO MAKE. I'LL LET YOU DISCUSS THIS AMONGST EACH OTHER BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE IS DONE."

He leaves the room and we look at one another.

"lynsie...i am so sorry. i didn't mean to..."

"Slim...Do you regret this? Us?"

His eye sockets widen.

"no! how could i?"

"Then don't apologize. It's insulting."

"then...you're okay with this?"

"Honestly...I'm confused as hell. But...Isn't life always confusing? It's what makes things interesting. Trying to figure shit out. Maybe with someone else by your side, you know?"

"baby..."

"I mean, we've already decided to enter a relationship. I wouldn't mind keeping this if it keeps others away so we can focus on us."

"for real? you really mean it?"

"I gave you my virginity. If you think you can get rid of me so easily, you got another thing coming."

"get rid of you? i wouldn't dream of it. my... babe."

"come here, my bone-friend."

I pull him into a warm loving hug and he nuzzles sweetly into my neck.

"Papyrus..."

"yeah?"

"I...I love you."

His hold on me tightens.

"i love you too lynsie. now and forever."

Life at school since then has been interesting to say the least. We decide to keep the mark but not let it control how we handle the relationship, treating it like how you would a promise ring. Despite how we started this, we take things slow and build up a foundation for a proper relationship. Even if our families think we're nuts and irresponsible as hell.

Slim as a boyfriend is a handful sometimes. He seems to really get off on public displays of overly affectionate actions, going so far as to get us in trouble a several times due to "graphic displays of a mature nature" or so we were told. I guess that's what the term for loudly dry humping is on paper.

Either way, we couldn't be happier.

Multiples of 3 :D

W36.I was about to complain about y’all making me work but then I remembered I begged for this procrastination material. So here:

3: If your significant other smoked pot, would you care? 

Make sure he’s not suffering from an addiction, and then dump him.

6:You’re drunk and lost walking down the road; who is with you?

Probably @fading-dawn because getting lost on a lonely road sounds exactly like the sort of imbecilic thing we’d do because we’d be too busy arguing over the exact worth of dank memes

9: I bet you kissed someone last night, right?                 

12: Do you like hickeys?

the h e c k kind of question is this

15: Can you text as quickly with one hand as you do both?    

Not quite as fast. Fairly close.

18: When was the last time you talked to one of your best friends? 

like an hour ago

21: Is anyone else in the room with you?

Just the evil rodent that is my sister’s rabbit.

24: Is there someone you wish you could fix things with?

I had to think about this a bit--I don’t have many broken relationships. But maybe my cousin. She used to look up to me when we were younger but I sorta shoved her aside because I adored her other sister, who didn’t care for me at all. Now none of them like me much.

27: Do people ever call you by your last name?

Surprisingly, no. I have an uber common first name and there’s usually at least two other girls in a group of 50 people who share it. But no, never just by my surname. Maybe because that’s common, too.

30: Would it be hard seeing someone else kiss the last person you kissed?

oh yeah ivE TOTALLY been kissed before hahaha yeah what do you think i am some sort of hermit loser???/?? ridiculous!!!

33: Have you ever kissed someone older than you?

i kissed grandpa on the cheek yesterday. does that count.

36: Do you have any summer plans yet?

yes actually. i’ll be gone for almost the whole month of july for a latin intensive in Rome. super pumped about that!

39. Do you have a secret you’ve never told anyone?

Sometimes I eat parmesean cheese straight from the bag by spoonfuls.

42. Are you available?

honey i’m american, i’m always free

45: Do you believe exes can be friends?

judging by what you know of me from this post alone, what do you think my level of experience with this is?

48: Did you ever lose a best friend?

Yeah, but not because of any fallout. I started being homeschooled and she moved to Singapore a year later. We just didn’t keep in touch.

51: Has the last person you ever kissed seen you cry?

54: Did you get any compliments today?

Yeah, I was told I was pretty and everyone loved my video. :]

57: Are most of your friends guys or girls?

Close friends are all girls, but I have a fairly equal mix among casual friends.

60: Have you ever played spin the bottle?

Nope and I never plan to.

63: What was the last movie you saw?

Phantom of the Opera (2004) for the first time, and I rewatched Les Miserables yesterday.

66. Is the last person you kissed younger than you?

you know what imma just stop answering these

69. Picture of yourself?

i’m too lazy just search my /mea tag

72. What do you most like about making out?

I love making out................thank you cards!!!! always great to show appreciation to people sending you presents

75. What part of a person’s body do you find most attractive?

Probably the eyes or shoulders.

81: Has someone who had a crush on you ever confessed to you?

Yes, actually....very awkward, happened over FB messenger. It was not mutual.

84: Last time you slow danced with someone?

I don’t think I’ve ever slow danced. I can swing like you wouldn’t believe, or do a quiet waltz, but no slow dancing.

87: What is your astrological sign?

Scorpio. I fit the bill.

90: Have you ever gotten back in touch with an old flame after a time of more than 3 months of no communication?

.....no (this seems oddly specific)

93: What physical traits do you look for in a potential interest?

I don’t really have a specific set of specs. Hair color, eyes, lean or broad, short or tall, I’ve been attracted to them all. My only real requirements are that he’s taller than me (or at least the same height) and isn’t a wimp (at least one of us needs to be able to open the pickle jars).

96: Have you ever kissed two people in one day?

Have you ever been biffed twice in one day?

99: Have you ever been deeply in love with someone?

I’m 18 and a hermit homeschooler. Does that answer the question?

102: Are you too shy to ask someone out?

I’ve never tried or had occasion to. I’m fairly shy about initiating that sort of thing, have no clue how to flirt even if you hit me on the head with a manual. But I also have bursts of independent confidence, so it’s possible.

105: If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew he/she was in a relationship, would you go for it?

I’m Catholic. Also not enough of a looker for someone to consider cheating for me.

I skipped the last few because they’re all repetitive questions.

Thanks for the ask!

Marigold’s Bachelorette Challenge

Yup, I’m gonna do one of these! Marigold is heir to Generation 3 of my Dawn Rainbowcy. She’s still a teenager in game, but here are some grown-up shots of her to give you an idea. This will take me a few weeks to set up and then probably a few more to get ready to post, but I am very excited to find a lady love for Marigold and start the next generation!

More Details Under the Cut

Q: Marigold, why have you decided to participate in a BC?

A: Well, I have plans that involve the future. And I don’t mean my future. I mean THE future. Bot building, hover boards, jet packs, all that cool stuff. But I don’t want to feel alone in that bright new era.

Q: Tells us a little about yourself.

A: Ok. I grew up with my parents, two brothers, and our dog Comet. He was named before I was born, but I think it’s kind of funny, because I’m obsessed with everything to do with space. I don’t only look up into the sky, though. Sometimes you may find me howling at the moon...I’m a werewolf. I guess since I was a teeny little girl I’ve always wondered what else is up there. And then my passion for astronomy grew! I also really loved to invent as a kid, so now I’m interested in finding out more about bots and how they work. I’ve always excelled in learning new things. But my clumsiness has left me in a bit of a mess at the inventors’ bench before. And my shop class teacher was usually VERY close to my station, fire extinguisher in hand.

Q: What are you looking for in a partner?

A: I’d like to find a girl who appreciates my supernatural abilities, maybe another supernatural? Fairies are cool... Anyway, I’m not sure how many human berries would tolerate living with me and my night-time habits. And I know berries come in all shades and colors, but I really enjoy the color purple. Um. On a more personal level? Probably a girl who I can just have a good time with. They should have their own goals and interests, of course. Compatible, but unique.

Requirements

1. Female please.

2. Lavender. Different shades of purple are ok, just not TOO dark all over.

3. Due to my rolls for the next generation, your Sim will be in the Business career. Feel free to add traits accordingly.

4. Fairy. (Or, if you don’t have Supernatural, be OK with me turning them into a fairy)

5. CC is OK- maybe try to keep it to around 5 pieces. Sliders are OK, link them, and I’ll let you know if they seem to be working alright. If you have questions about what I already have, ask me! (For example, I have all of plumblob’s hairs)

6. Edit: Forgot to mention- I have all EPs and SPs except for Katy Perry Sweet Treats. So hair/clothes/traits from any of those will work.

I will be taking 8 Sims. Message/inbox me. Contestants due by April 23rd- two weeks from today. I may extend the deadline, stay posted! 

1. @littlepxels

2. @pixelatedwonderland

3. @melien

4. @theunnamedsimmer

5. @teekapoa

6. @thatsmolplumbob

7. @ahplumbobs

8. @simmeronnie

I’m really excited for this! It’s the first time doing it, so I’m sure there will be a few hiccups, but that’s the life of a simmer, amiright? =)
