discord is making me change my username. despair. pain.

Hiii! Hope everything is fine and that your day/night is going well! I'm just in my Andras feels and now I really understand why I never 100% loved Feylin or Feyre in the first book (even though I loved it and I still love it) and the reason is... Andras. Not only because Feyre killed him (knowing/feeling he was a Fae) but for what she did after and... idk, I have this hc that if they had to break-up it wouldn't be because of Tamlin's character assasination (never forget, never forgiving) but because love couldn't heal the scars/the pain. After these deeply traumatic events (for both) after 50 years of pain and sacrifices, now that they're free from Amarantha... they breathe and see what it has been done. Everytime Tamlin holds Feyre hand, will he think about how she holded a knife to skin his friend? How she drowe one in his heart? She died for him, she did, he loves her, she loves him... but everytime they both look at each other it feels like a burning lash that never heals. If they kiss, do they taste the ashes of their love burning them? A gnawing pain in their stomach, the burn of holding each other eyes, trying not to flinch away? Trying to hold on the love that hurt? Idk, I would've loved so much the angst of the end, if done like: we love each other so much that I would die/kill for you, that bond that can break a curse, but that isn't enough to heal, because we keep burning an putting salt in our wounds, where they both began their journey to heal and rediscover themself. Maybe even how to love again without all the hurt. Alas, this is my Angsty hc andddd, sorry for my rambling! I hope it didn't bother you too much! Anyway, I love Andras, we knew him for one minute, but it was enough for me to love him (and for me to never actually forgive Feyre -bc she never does think about him twice- and truly like/like feylin -bc aaaaa, Andras and TamTam and Lucien trio deserves better and asxtcf) because he Deserved better and was a good friend and Fae and ok, now I will stop babbling away lol Sorry again!

No need to apologize, I love rants, headcanons, all the like! My inbox is always open for them!

I totally agree with you, I didn't like Feyre either more so towards the end of Acotar and the start of Acomaf because at that point she hadn't given Andras a single thought. A main point of her trauma is Acomaf was that she had two stab two fae, but she never cared or mentioned the first life she took that led her to Prythian in the first place. Andras should be recognized as a war hero for the sacrifice he made, but Feyre does not care in the slightest about him.

It's also why I hate one specific line of her thinking, in Acomaf when Lucien comes to take her back, she states "Something had festered in the training at the Spring Court" (that line is paraphrased) pretty much stating all training in Spring was terrible and created monsters out of men.

This to me solidifies that Feyre has entirely forgotten- or admantly does not care for Andras. The man (and the men before him) that willingly put their lives down for Prythian's sake to her are the result of 'festered training'.

I can't feel any form of pity for Feyre because she doesn't give a single fuck about the lives she takes unless it gives her sympathy points.

I like the idea that Feyre and Tamlin's relationship should have ended because despite the fact both would go to the ends of the world for the other. Tamlin is holding on to the life she took, the blood that stains their hands. They can save each other, but they can't heal each other. The angst is *chefs kiss* delicious.

But as it is in canon, I can't respect Feyre for what she's done. By Acomaf she's become a person who extends no empathy to those who don't benefit her.

Anyway, loved this rant and headcanon. Send any my way that you think of!

I just read the ask you answered where the anon said that it would also be good if the reader ran away to spring court, and honestly, it seems like such a good idea.

Like, imagine tamtam finds reader and he allows her to stay in spring.

He is depressed, she is depressed.

They bond over it.

(And now that I think about it, the same couple of people have inflicted the trauma, directly or indirectly 👀)

They become friends and start therapy or the fae equivalent of it, and then the two of them build the spring court back up.

Tamlin is over Feyre, reader is over Az.

The two of them could develop a romantic bond or it could be just platonic, but that would be soo cool, because night court would realise that the two people who they thought would not survive without them gave now brought a whole court back up from the ground.

That was just my rambling 😅

I honestly had a similar idea for writing it myself kinda with a different reader, but at the moment I have too many requests and my own fics to finish, so it would take me some time to get to that.

I love you! Have a nice day ❣️

Hi!!! ❣️❣️❣️

Honestly I think reader going to Spring could be kind of interesting from the whole Elain and Lucien perspective? Possibly patching up their (Lu + Tam’s) relationship, and finally getting Tam to reinforce his borders so it’s not just a place for creatures to run rampant as they please.

And!! Similarly with Eris, I think Tamlin is another complex character? Comparing him with Rhys in how he took to his powers—since they both became High Lord the same night. I think I might have said this once before (don’t hold me to that🫣) but I feel like in another universe Tam and Cass could have been good friends?

Like Rhys mentions how Cass’ upbringing sometimes shows itself in odd ways (e.g. how Cass got a little snappy when Az told him to hold off on eating until Elain had sat down) and Tam could have helped teach him etiquette and things he’s slightly insecure about?

Sadly, I doubt that will happen, but I still think it would be so fun to explore it!!

And even if you don’t end up having time to write it, maybe you can store it in the back of your mind; slowly develop it until it’s evolved to a satisfying degree? Or wait until you have a little more time? It’s a really interesting idea you have, in regards to all the directions it could be taken in (when Tam and Reader team up will they want to overthrow the Night Court and perpetuate the feud, or will they try to heal things? Will Tam and Reader be split in that decision and have to work through their differences?)

I think you should hold onto that idea—have fun with it and see what you can come up with ❣️🧡💛

TAMTAM - Ramble In The Rainbow

If you’re unfamiliar with Tokyo outfit “TAMTAM” I can assure you their latest EP “Ramble In The Rainbow” is a must listen if you’re searching for an eclectic fusion of jazz, soul, and psyche pop.

Though relatively unknown, TAMTAM delivers a harmonious, yet galactic like sound that is quite dynamic in today’s saturated landscape of genre-less acts. Vocalist, Kuro shines throughout, masterfully aligning the group’s multi-faceted foundation. However, the glaring musical chemistry within the band as a whole is a magnificent blend as each member distinctively adds a unique touch through the duration of the project, which in turn creates a cohesive listening experience without any skips. “Ramble In The Rainbow” is TAMTAM’s debut international release via. Washington based label “Peoples Potential Unlimited” and although, TAMTAM has just hit my radar, we are beyond ecstatic for the band’s future releases moving forward.

I've been enjoying @shinobisdelombre's Naruto/ATLA crossover and thought about my own preferences for such an AU:

Team 7: Naruto would of course be an air bender! He would probably also be the Avatar since, you know main character syndrome and all xD he's the son of an air bender nun and a non-bender. I'm not sure about Sakura, a lot of them interpret her as an earth bender but I think I would make her a non-bender from fire nation. She's still be a brave warrior and good with medicines. Sasuke would of course be a fire and lighting bender. Royal family, second born of the fire lord, of course. Envious to the bone on his older brother. Kakashi would also be a fire- and lighting bender. Sasuke's mentor/trainer and a former general of the fire lord's army. Kind of like an uncle Iroh figure.

Team 8: Kiba gives me non-bender vibes. Earth nation, childhood friend of Hinata. Hinata is probably a controversial one since I get why a lot interpret her as a water bender, especially from her character and everything but from the skills she own in Naruto canon, I would see her as an earth bender. I've got this idea that the Hyuugas are an all blind clan of earth benders that are using Toph-like skills to navigate and are experts in chi blocking. Hinata of course is really soft spoken for an earth bender, but that would give her room for great development. Shino would be a plant bender! He would love living in a swamp with tons of insects. Kurenai would probably also be a non-bender. She'd be from the fire nation, guard of the royal family maybe, a very sneaky style of fighting, full of illusions and tricks.

Team 9/Guy: Lee is 100 % a non-bender but as usual a martial art genius. Same goes for Tenten, weapon fanatic. Neji if the same as Hinata, duh. very powerful member of the clan and said to be his uncles successor. Gai is the same as Lee.

Team 10: Choji is the epitome of an earth bender for me. I can't really think of something for Ino. She could also be a plant bender, though I don't see her living in the swamps... So I'll just settle for water bender for now. Shikamaru is another tough one. I think his skills could be imitated with water bender the most, but he doesn't give me water bender vibes. So he could also be a non-bender, probably earth nation. Asuma would be fire bender. I know he also got a futon chakra nature, but I mean the Sarutobi clan is the incarnation of the will of fire. I imagine him and his clan as really close to the fire lord.

Sand sibling: Duh, do I really have to say anything 'bout them? Sand benders.

Sannin: Jirayia is Naruto's mentor, so he'd have to be an air bender. Would also fit his personality Tsunade could be earth or water for obvious reasons (brute strength, healing) but I think her healing powers define her more so I go with water. Orochimaru is another tough one but I go with earth.

I might add onto this, when I think about more characters.

[tamtam-go92]

ALWAYS! I don’t know how many signs we put up for people to put their f*cking mask on BEFORE entering the salesroom and they still enter without it. My favourite question is: “Are you really wearing that mask the whole day?” - Of course Sherlock, what do you think?

As someone who works in retail, let me tell you that it is exactly like this. Its been over a year of this pandemic and people still do shit like this all the time.

Sims Flashback Challenge

Rules: There isn’t any rules, just snap a photo of two sims, one recent and one of the oldest you can find and post it! Tag it #simsflashbackchallenge and @lovelysimies so I can see your progress!

I was tagged by @ariellovessims

I liked the idea of using the same sims for both pictures, and since I’ve been enjoying my uberhood a lot lately I figured I’d use that. It’s weird to say I’ve actually been playing this neighbourhood since 2015? It’s almost as old as my actual simblr, haha. (I have older picutes, but it’d be more of a hassle finding them, and I liked the idea of the pictures being part of the same continuity.)

Here’s Don and Nina in one of my very early posts :) I was using a lot of “dated” cc and not bothering with ceilings and stuff, just taking pictures using the in-game snapshots. The neighbourhood was a chaotic mess which I didn’t really play in proper “rounds”, but it was definitely a lot of fun! I can’t say it was more fun than it is now, but it was a different kind of fun, for sure, and that early chaos laid a lot of roots for characters I wouldn’t think to do now (like Dina dying and Nina skipping town to Veronaville in a fit of grief!)

And a more recent one of Nina with Chloe. It’s not a posed one or anything, I do mainly post gameplay pictures, but you can see how my style has evolved I think! I never used to bother building and decorating much but now it’s one of my favourite things to do, I consider it a part of gameplay rather than a boring chore. I think I enjoy the Sims now even more than I did back then, but a big part of that is just because the neighbourhood is so old - there’s a lot of emotional investment there!

Tagging: @yandereplumsim​ @yakumtsaki​ @strangetomato​ @deedee-sims​ @simhealing​ @charmandersims​ @grimbunnies​ @tamtam-go92​

(Actually I just realised that picutre is still from 2018 lmao, let me think up some better comparisons with a sims, I’ve featured more recently lmao, more pictures & rambling under the cut)

Alexander and Meadow - June 2015 and November 2020. They’re not a couple I’m obsessive about, but they’re sweet and one of the only “high school sweethearts” to have stayed together the entire time.

Lilith Pleasant - June 2015 and March 2021. She was a kind of “difficult” sim to date even back then, haha, always very hot and cold with Dirk.

RepliesAndAnswers

@charmandersims said, “<3″ and @grimbunnies said, “I’m really liking your approach, viewing the family through Philippa’s eyes. And I was so thrilled when she rolled supernatural skeptic for so many reasons. It was perfect!” in response to my rambling here.  @tamtam-go92 said, “ I love how you write Philippa as she’s refusing to accept anything supernatural despite everything tha’s going on in her fam xD" Thank you!   All three of you are very kind!! I’m glad you’re happy with the story thus far, and that you appreciate my stumbling through the writing. I like writing from an unreliable narrator’s point of view for a lot of reasons, but one is the disconnect between what the audience reads and what they know. (Like Makena’s baby, for instance.) (Another is that if I screw up canon, you can just blame the unreliability! :D)

Regarding my damaged reaction to a walkby, @grimbunnies helpfully said, “ Jordan does kind of look like Brandi, tbh”. I didn’t realize how much the bun changed her look until then. And now I have to keep it for my own amusement. Perhaps Duncan was a Broke?

[didilysims]

Didily! So good to see a sign of life from you! P, 1 and R for the ask meme if you like!

Hi Tamtam! Sorry for the late response. I started answering and then forgot it was in my drafts folder... 

I answered I already over here. :)

P: Pose or Play Your Sims?

Play! I do (or did) pose for family portraits, and sometimes to set up a scene for my more story-centred households, but all of that comes from the personality or story they show me when I play them. I don’t get nearly as much fun out of playing the game than posing the Sims like dolls. 

R: Cartoony or Realistic Sims?

Leaning more on the cartoony side, though not too extreme or wacky. My playstyle is generally more realistic with the BaCC (careers are linked to town growth, for example, and I like my ruleset to be logical), but I do allow a few quirky Sims, such as that steampunk family, Francesca Jane and her carnival getup, and I still get a laugh out of my bridal driver. :) 

As for CC/defaults/etc., definitely on the Maxis-Match side of the fence...although I feel like that term has become so broad it doesn’t really mean anything anymore. I would like my game to head closer to the base game look--yep, low-poly, fuzzy textures, pokey faces, weird 2000s fashions...fast-loading game...they’re appealing to me more than ever! But I also like too much of the CC I have accumulated. I feel like the “true” Maxis-match look would be a pretty drastic change in my BaCC (not to mention how daunting it is to replace missing items/eyebrows/clothes/etc. after a big CC change/cull) so sometimes I’m tempted to start a new ‘hood and build up the Downloads folder from scratch, but...that’s a lot of work. And when I do have time to play I’d rather play the BaCC ‘hood instead of some new investment. 

Anyway, that was a bit of a ramble, sorry. Short answer: mostly cartoony. :) 

Thanks for asking! :D
