to me you are the star of the show

“When I was young, I would spend hours and hours alone in my room, watching this figurine in a music box my aunt gave me. Maybe it was the heat, or maybe it was the hunger, but if I watched her long enough, I could swear she’d come to life…”

[thebramblewood]

Watch out, Grim. There's about to be a new reaper in town.

[ghost-bxrd]

Jason opens his mouth to retort when his phone starts ringing.

And not any kind of ringing, no. It’s the fucking Spooky-Scary-Skeletons song.

This is a goddamn nightmare. He should have stayed in bed.

He has exactly two options.

One, not pick up.

Which would be a good option, the best option, if it were anybody else. Because Jason knows the fucker isn’t above trying to ring up the manor itself if he feels slighted.

Two, pick up. And suffer the most awkward birthday congratulations since… well, last year.

Jason glares at each and every curious Bat watching him from the sofa as he excuses himself and heads into the hall, pressing the green button with a long suffering sigh.

“What?”

“It has come to my attention that you have not yet contacted my daughter for your name day well wishes.“

Jason thunks his head against the wall.

“I’m busy.”

“I am aware,” Ra’s says smoothly, and Jason just knows the bastard is stirring his sinfully expensive blend of tea with some golden spoon, “And yet this has not stopped you before.”

“Is there a point to this call?”

“Yes. Do make sure to call my daughter soon. She is being quite insufferable.”

Righteous indignation rises inside Jason like hot coals.

“She isn’t—“

“She has disposed of three potential tutors since this morning,” Ra’s cuts him off, and Jason’s mouth snaps shut, “Yes, I do consider this to be insufferable. And your brother has brought it to my attention that the likely cause of her irritability is your lack of communication.”

“I’m busy.” Jason repeats, but it sounds petulant even to his own ears, “Look, I’ll call her as soon as I get out of here, ok?”

“Make sure that you do. Finding instructors is a difficult enough task without my daughter culling half their numbers before they even stepped across the threshold.”

“Maybe mom wouldn’t have to dispose of them if they were skilled enough to evade her.”

“Oh, some of them were,” Ra’s says drily, “But it proved to be for naught when she decided the your brother’s pets hadn’t had enough sustenance for the day.”

…so, maybe Jason should have called.

// 24 favs of 2024 in no particular order

A bit late maybe, but well. It's not like we're having 2026 currently, so I'm still doing this!

Tagged by @ethelgodehel @living-undead @eljeebee @salemssimblr, thank you SO much <3 (and if I missed anyone, I am super sorry!). Everyone who feels like doing this tag aswell, please feel tagged by me.

Like last year, I also have some unnecessary personal commentary following under the cut.

Influencer Aaron IS MY LIFE, like look at this little bitch losing control over himself on livestream

Vale just wants to be left alone

"TO WHERE?"

Imagine you're waking up out of anesthesia and the first thing you're seeing are Maggie's huge orbs staring you down

Vale, but with the goth slider dragged up even higher

He's so relatable

Did I already mention I love his sense of style?

She looks like she's made out of icing

I need to engrave vampy Kaia into my eyeballs

I can't explain how sweet she looks here. Even tho she is badass with that leather coat she still looks like an angel.

I love my 'lil recreation of my Cyberpunk 2077 character

Techwear + Devyn = perfection

SHE IS LIKE A DEER TO ME, so extremely precious and gorgeous

EMILIO AND HIS SISTER JULIETA ARE SIBLING GOALS

Theeee soulmates out of all time!

and here comes the collection of my fav Aaron edits:

16. His eye expression there is just so sick to me 17. Obsessed with pink on him 18. He's like the opposite of Gina. Dressed up cutesy af, yet still looks like the whole world just pissed him off cause of his perma frown lmao 19. Him with his natural wavy hair........ I luv 20. He looks especially mature to me there somehow? Suits him sm 21. The slutty cowboy aesthetic suits him SO good, but I also feel like it's bc hats generally always suit his face well. 22. The bleached brows are such a LOOK 23. Someone said to this pic that it has a vampire techno vibe and it totally solidified my love for it 24. BABYGIRLLL, and I do not mean Aaron. I love that he's a cat owner and I love this little creature named Moira even more

Fun fact about Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game, Roger Sharpe actually played the Pinball scenes in Mike's stead—except, the winning shot of the film. Mike Faist pulled the plunger and got it on the first take (and then never again afterwards). That take was the one they used for the film.

After the New Years fires, I came to the conclusion that I hate fires even more than kleptomaniac townies. I never know what had been destroyed/stolen to replace it -.- And the objects from the buydebug and such a hassle to replace...

I learned to avoid the kleptomaniacs by not using community lots anymore. But I can't really avoid fires (well I could by not using fireplaces...)

Poor Little Goats and Skully were devastated because the fire destroyed their books with all the stories and plots about the Boys! Skully looks so sad. But luckily the Little Goats keep copies and backups!

And while the Little Goats and Skully are still mourning their losses, we had another two fires!

Even though we upgraded the fireplace to fireproof right after we placed it omg! Luckily we have the option to reduce fires and stuff with sliders in inZOI.

Idk if this is a good time for it but I've been working on a queer fantasy story for over a year now. Sapphic romance. Brown trans enby lead. Resistance against a fascist empire. Y'know. Standard stuff.

Haven't got all the kinks worked out, need to smooth some things out in this round of edits and get back to making progress but like. Yeah. This is coming, eventually.

a handful of quotes below the cut

Thus the Empire of Light began. It was an era known for peace, its birth marked by blood and slaughter. Peace reigned as the Emperor demanded it, his word made law through fear and bloodshed when his propaganda was insufficient. It was not to last.

A thrill raced through my body at her touch, the whisper of her breath on my palm. “Yes,” I promised. “I’ll see you then.” On impulse, I pulled away, dropped to the ground to find the fallen rose. There, it wasn't even squished. I offered it to her with my best attempt at a charming look, extending my arm like a storybook prince. “Til then, take this.

“She’s scared,” Fionnuala said frankly. “Her heart’s been broken before and she’s scared to let it happen again.”

“Hope you don’t mind,” Vida mumbled in my ear, sounding more than half asleep. I snuggled into her and fell asleep with a smile on my lips.

Another sigh, sounding almost as if she were bracing for something. “Love, look. Feelings, the deep ones, they’re hard for me. I don’t know that I’ve ever had anything more lasting than a passing fancy, and you–” Her voice cracked. “You deserve better.” “You already said you want to be friends, you don’t need to explain that twice.” “No– love, listen.” Vida’s hand caught my chin as she leaned over me. “What I’m trying to say is, I’d like to try, if you still want to.”

“How can you laugh?” Fiachra teased. “Da’s got no idea what to do with another boy around! He’ll be so lost.”

Wasn't I… well, traitorous was the only word I could think of. I'd practiced magic without a license, and whether I was a girl in love with a girl, or a boy who'd been born a girl… or, maybe, neither… what I wasn't was the good daughter I was supposed to be. Maybe I was a shadow too.

Ceri’s dark eyes reminded me of an inquisitive beetle I’d found on the edge of the water bucket when I was a girl. It hadn’t meant to be any trouble, it had just been there. I’d watched it, entranced by its shining black carapace, until my mother came to see what was taking me so long. She’d screamed and slammed the bucket to the ground upside down, killing the beetle and causing me to burst into tears. Later, she’d said she was only scared.

“That’s entirely fair. Are you ready?” A bubble of laughter squeezed its way up. “No. Do it.”

“That’s politics, Shadow. One aspect of it, anyways. Changing the world, little by little.”

“Wasn’t there another way?” Ciaran was silent for a few seconds before he admitted, “Perhaps. Perhaps there was. But I still feel the world is no worse off for the loss of him, and I cannot find it in me to regret it.”

“Don’t you ever want to do something you’re not supposed to? Love the wrong way, be the wrong person, want the wrong things?”

**bonus mention to two scenes friends specifically liked that were a bit longer than I wanted for this, the "Would you love me if I were a worm?" "Yes but also please don't be a worm. ew" conversation, and the "hot" meeting scene where one character puts her finger on another's lips and says "I want you knowing you're in your right mind for this [kiss]"**

OUTTAKES 6

So, the party ended because all of sudden we had TWO werewolves in the building and everyone got scared and ran out of the party. Then THIS... THIS!!!!! Why are you all standing around staring at Jake when everyone else has run home?

You peed your pants?!!?!? JAKE!!! I thought you were better than that!!!

Jake- I drank a lot when I was bartending....

You're an asshole. So I made them all go home, and then look who's sauntering out of the bathroom happy as a pig in rut. Got your face back on did you? Are you happy? ARE YOU?

Jonah- <snickering> Jake can fucking suck it, little piss pant Fran.

THIS is why we can't have nice things.

“There's no question a comedic side. Like, people should be sending more comedies his way. He's clearly got the chops, he's clearly got a physicality to him that's just undeniable.” — Austin Bragg on working with Mike Faist on Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game
