introducing the Deaton family!! thru their family photos + a pic of the baby bc i can't take any on the tripod LMFAOOOO. also Ricky II's portrait is outdated but fuck it
sims will be introduced from left to right. all their relationships are in relation to the head of the household!
Ricky Deaton II, Husband (Gen 6): The son of Ricky Jr. and Elizabeth Braun, he is related to one of the oldest lineages in my save. His mother encouraged hard work and taking risks, giving Ricky the strength and perseverance he needed to master piano and violin. Ricky II became a renowned musician and jazz pianist, known for hits such as "Aili's Song" and "Let's Get Squinky." Now retired, he prefers to spend his time with his family and raise them into musical prodigies.
Aili Deaton, Head of Household (Gen 8): Aili is the daughter of Daria and Wendy Szimmer. She was raised by artists and started painting as soon as her little hands could hold a brush. Her parents had humble jobs and the family seemed to be flying forward-- until her mother Daria died in a freak weather machine accident when she was just a Teen. She hit a rebellious streak after that, and started taking underground work doing forgeries and frauds for art heists. She is a master in her field and is currently teaching her daughter Messina the way of the brush.
Ricky Deaton III, Son (Gen 9): Ricky III could never decide what he wanted to do in his life. Should he follow his father's footsteps? Should he learn to paint and join the family business? Maybe he should do neither, and try to be an actor in Hollywood! It's going slow, but surely he will grow to be as famous as his great-great-great-grandmother. Maybe. Hopefully? While he tries to figure that out, he spends most of his time banging multiple women in town and accidentally having children with them because I forgot to turn that off in Neighborhood Stories.
Eliza Deaton, Heiress (Gen 9): Eliza is the very definition of a Daddy's Girl. She spent her whole life next to him on the piano bench, learning how to Jazz the Place Up and Concerto. Unknown to her family, however, she had a hidden hobby: DJ-ing! She would stay up in all hours of the night mixing songs on her DJ station. Eventually, she started sneaking out and DJ-ing at the Blue Velvet Nightclub. Nowadays, she works overtime as an onstage musician, a talented pianist dancing in the footsteps of her father. On her nights off, she still hits the stage as DJ Cool Cat, but all the work is taking her away from her duty as the heir. She needs to figure out what she's more passionate about before the household is solely in her hands.
Messina Deaton, Daughter (Gen 9): Messina Deaton is a lil miss smarty pants who graduated early and has recently been taken under her mother's wing as a fraudulent painter. However, she wants to be just a normal painter. Fraudulent painter is your dream, mom!
Wendy Deaton, Daughter (Gen 9): Wendy is a karaoke pop star and Jokester. She is destined for a life in Business so I can get the career achievement.
Maddison Deaton, Granddaughter & Next-in-Line (Gen 10): Maddison is Ricky III's daughter, her mother is the supermodel Brandy Saunders. However, Brandy's death made her incapable of being a mother, so Maddison came to stay with her father's family. The oldest of Gen 10, she is expected to take over and continue the household when she gets older.
Taylor Guo, Grandson (Gen 10): Taylor Guo is Ricky III's son and lives with his mother's family. He spends the week at the Deatons occasionally.
Ricky Deaton IV, Grandson (Gen 10): The son of Eliza Deaton! Who knows what the world has in store for him.

Fourth MLM Ship Bracket Propaganda Submissions
Below you will find all of the submitted and approved ships for the Fourth MLM Ship Bracket Tournament along with the form to submit further propaganda at the bottom
This is another opportunity to submit propaganda for your favorite ships. Wether you were unable to submit propaganda for them in the initial form or you spot your favorite ship who has no propaganda submitted. Ships with a strikethrough have propaganda submitted, I will continue to update this post as propaganda is submitted. I will accept further propaganda for ships with already submitted propaganda but please prioritize those with out.
The goal is to have propaganda for all ships but I understand that may not be possible. Therefore I will be leaving the form open for a few weeks to see if we receive propaganda for at least half the ships.
Note: Please reach out to me if you spot any mistakes in character or fandom names, even if it is only formatting or spelling issues.

oswlld's monthly wrap up: february
note: i am trying something a bit different this year, so bear with me as i figure out how i want to format this. i wanted to spend more time sharing what i consume, beyond what i rb, and put my thoughts in one place. these posts are okay to rb
--
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Taylor Jenkins Reid [started 02/04, finished 02/13] I recall an article calling out TJR as one of many authors that are pro-israel and haven’t seen anything that disputes the claim. I don’t have much to contribute to the conversation anyways, so I’ll pass on leaving a review. — After Dark, Haruki Murakami [started 02/06, finished 02/21] What I admire about what Murakami accomplished with After Dark was achieving the right level of simplicity to bring out the tense undertones in the magical realism. I also really enjoyed being invited to float with the story, almost breaking a fourth wall and interacting with the spaces. 4⭐️ in storygraph. — When We Cease to Understand the World, Benjamín Labatut [started 02/24, still in prog] I am only about 50 pages in and I am already ill. Too early to form an opinion, thus I’ll offer a snippet of the book description: “A fictional examination of the lives of real-life scientists and thinkers whose discoveries resulted in moral consequences beyond their imagining. When We Cease to Understand the World is a book about the complicated links between scientific and mathematical discovery, madness, and destruction.” Feels very timely reading this at the same time as watching Three-Body and then Oppenheimer in the next week or so.
High on the Hog: How African American Cuisine Transformed America, Netflix [started: 02/02, finished 02/07] WOW!! Wowowowowow. Wow. This needs to be a mandatory watch, even though we are at the end of Black History Month. It’s a well curated journey through the slave era to present day, from shores of Africa to all areas of the US. It’s so empowering and inspiring. Don’t wait until June or next year, please educate yourselves and open your heart to this show. — African Folktales Reimagined, Netflix [started 02/02, finished 02/08] I heard about this show through an article posted on Short of the Week last year and immediately put it on my watchlist. What a wonderful choice of directors for this series. Such strong visionaries and visuals. My favorites out of the six stories were Enmity Djinn and MaMlambo. MaMlambo still has a chokehold on me. MAJOR trigger warnings for this series is under the cut. — Three-Body, Viki (also avail on YT) [started 02/19, paused on 02/26] Trigger warnings for this series is also under the cut. With that said, I have a very personal connection with Three-Body Problem, both the novel and the physics problem, so taking this show on has been my entire world. When it comes to tackling my watchlist, shows that have a substantial number of eps/seasons gets split into chunks, so that I can tackle them over a number of months. For this series, I divided the 30-epsiode series into three ten-episode parts that will take me from February to June. I’ll post an official review when I finish over the summer, but for now I will say I very much enjoy having my brain turn into goo after every ep. What an explosive first outing. I will be resuming this show in April for eps 11-20, where I’ll be reunited with my beloved war criminal.
Over the Moon, Netflix [watched on 2/10, DNF] So unfortunate that I started this and could not finish. I hope to get back into it in May, so I can talk about how beautiful it is. Gotta do it for Glen Keane. — Sky Ladder: The Art of Cai Guo-Qiang, Netflix [watched on 2/11] I…. I think I am going to let this quote from the film speak for me: “In the 60��s, when American astronauts landed on the moon, that was really good news, even in China. But I was sad because I thought I would never make it to space myself. But later on, I realized that art could be my space-time tunnel connecting me to the universe. If there was an opportunity, I would like to make a ladder into the clouds. But the purpose of this ladder wouldn’t be for me to go to space, it would be to encourage a back-and-forth, a dialogue.” I MEANN!!!! Yes, I did go into this film already aware of some of his works but I didn’t really know a lot about him. What I admired most was his joy and child-like wonder when he’s interacting with his art. I loved witnessing him act like he’s 7 yrs old again, especially in that air balloon scene. There’s also a moment when he’s become complacent in his projects, settling on the bare minimum to get a job done. When the art of creating is stripped of the art, what is left of Cai is very clear to the viewer: he is frustrated, he feels suffocated, he’s used. Alternately, towards the end of the film, he brings it back with “Yes, a lot of artists do things that are too commercial. It lacks some compulsive and sincere emotion that should exist in all art. Collaborating with [unknown artists] will always remind me of the pleasure I felt and my original purpose for doing art.” (Fascinating to compare his turmoil with the govt whilst working with Netflix.) All in all, this film did a great job telling a story about the magic in enduring passion projects over time. In this case, his Sky Ladder being a fourth attempt at a impossibly large scale dream project. I feel like my thoughts are all over the place with this film, but I’m still finding new things that really speak to me as an artist. — Your Name Engraved Herein, Netflix [watched on 2/18] I thought I had this gifset on my blog but it turns out I may have just DM’d @forcebook about this and didn’t rb, but anyways I saw this and thought hey this has the potential to ruin me lemme put it on my watchlist. And now over a year later, I finally got around to it. Well… it’s exactly what I ordered, it definitely ruined me. I mean, when they come at me with “Maybe more people would understand me in hell. Make it easy for me and help me go to hell,” what else am I supposed to be but ruined. I want a sequel, I need their reset.
There are more to add to the movies category, due to Oscar season, but I’ll save them for a separate post, with all my thoughts on the films/shorts I was able to catch, for Oscar weekend.
Ella Sings Gershwin, Ella Fitzgerald with Ellis Larkins at the piano [first time listening] One hobby I picked up during the pandemic was growing my vinyl collection. I found this vinyl in 2022 with the intention of finding more from this era/genre. Not much movement since then, since vinyl purchases only happens once or twice a year. Suffice to say, I am so happy that the quality is still in tact and it makes me want to get back into vinyls soon. Current top 3: My One and Only (What Am I Gonna Do), But Not For Me, and Soon — Wicked [relistening] One thing you need to understand about me is that Wicked was my first musical hyperfixation. I used to spend summers on the train to the city to catch the raffle drawings and when my name was picked, it would be the best $25 well spent to be seated front row. And when I was not in the city, the CD would be on repeat in the car on my long drives going to and from home and college. My introduction to YT was watching all of the bootleg clips of every casting. All the Eden Espenozas and Stephanie J Blocks and Kerry Ellis’. All the Kendra Kassenbaums, Megan Hiltys, and Annaleigh Ashfords. And yes, all the Aaron Tveits don’t look at me. I’ve seen almost all facets of this show enough times to start frankenstein-ing together my version of Wicked. All this to say that my love for this show remained dormant for over a decade, until the movie trailer for part one came out. And then *SPLASH* I immediately jump in head first into a slime tutorial just like that. Long ago, I watched Kara Lindsay’s broadway vlogs without having seen her Galinda and now I can say I have seen the light, she’s just as immaculate as I imagined she’d be.
Welcome to Night Vale [recurring/catching up] I typically catch up on this podcast seasonally, since I find that this show is more enjoyable when I binge it. This time around, I have fallen more behind and needed to catch up on 11 episodes. My favorite eps: A Car Crash on Buellton Avenue (Ep 232), Sister Cities: Vermillion Falls (Ep 239), and He is Holding a Knife (Ep 240). I will admit that there was a period of time, maybe four or five years ago, when I dropped the show for reasons I cannot recall now but I am glad that I stuck around.
And now here are some tw to keep in mind:
AFRICAN FOLKTALES trigger warnings: domestic violence/abuse, child abuse, attempt(s) of suicide, drowning, and miscarriage.
THREE-BODY trigger warnings: The plot centers around solving the mystery behind scientists committing suicide on an international scale. Scenes ranging from allusions, thoughts of suicide, to moderate depictions of suicide.

Paris La Défense Arena for Para Swimming.
I originally wanted to go to Paris La Defense Arena because it is not a swimming pool but an arena often used for concerts (last one being the 4 concerts for Taylor Swift) so quite a transformation.
I’ve said it before and I will say it again, all the athletes at the Games are super humans but the Paralympic athletes are a cut above. They always had my admiration but attending even more events this time than the Beijing2008 games I’m in total awe of their abilities beyond their disabilities. And then you get to go witness para swimming and when you thought you couldn’t appreciate Paralympic sports more you realized that’s even more beyond belief.
We were there when Chinese Guo Jinsheng won his gold medal. If you haven’t seen the clips of his swimming style on social media take a look (one example). We also got to see Chinese Flying Fish’ Jiang Yuyan secures one of her 7 Para swimming gold medal. Unfortunately Brazilian sensation Gabriel Araujo wasn’t on the rooster that day. But what a day at the La Defense Arena.

Hi! for the ask game!
What inspired Hiding in Plain Sight?
Fav Food?
First OTP and fandom??
Thanks for the ask, Anon. ❤️
What inspired Hiding in Plain Sight?
Honestly, I started writing HIPS when I was too hyped and too drunk on Taylor Swift's song 'Hits Different,' fueled by my obsession with crime documentaries (e.g., the Black Dahlia, Gladbeck, and Tanjong Pagar car incident). As the story progresses, I am slowly adding some scenarios that really happened in real life to me or people around me just to make the story relatable to readers too. You will see this in the coming chapters. In short, I am just dying to imagine Aruani as millennials pressured to succeed by this cruel world, just like the rest of us.
Fav Food?
My cravings for Mala Xiang Guo are still unbeatable. But, of course, when I'm overseas or at buffets in hotels, I indulge in seafoods like crabs, lobsters, oysters, salmon, abalone, and scallops (these things are hella exp in SG soo..) I also love steaks, Filipino food, and Thai cuisine.
First OTP and Fandom??
My first OTP was Hyuuga Neji and Tenten. I used to love these two with a burning passion when I was twelve, lol. My first fandom was Naruto, back in 2008, and it was quickly followed by Katekyoshi Hitman Reborn. I never really got involved in any fandom until Tokyo Ghoul and Bungo Stray Dogs in 2017-18, which was my best year in fandom.

Inside the Glamorous World of the Met Gala, History of the Met Gala
Get ready to step inside one of the most exclusive and glamorous events in the fashion world - the Met Gala! this is mohammad Gholami and In this video, I'll take you on a journey through the history of this iconic event, from its humble beginnings to its current status as a star-studded affair. You'll learn about the themes, designers, and celebrities that make the Met Gala one of the most talked-about events of the year.
Every year, the Met Gala brings together the biggest names in fashion, music, and entertainment for a night of glamor and extravagance. but what is the Met Gala, and how did it become one of the most anticipated events in the fashion calendar?
The Met Gala, also known as the Costume Institute Benefit or simply the Met Ball, is an annual fundraising event for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in New York City. It was first held in 1948 as a midnight supper and costume party hosted by fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert.
In its early years, the Met Gala was a relatively low-key affair attended by socialites and members of New York's high society. However, it gradually evolved into a major fashion event thanks to the efforts of legendary Vogue editor-in-chief Diana Vreeland.
Vreeland became a consultant to the Costume Institute in 1972 and used her influence to turn its annual exhibitions into blockbuster shows that attracted international attention. She also helped transform the Met Gala into a star-studded affair by inviting celebrities like Cher, Elizabeth Taylor, and Mick Jagger.
Over time, the Met Gala has become known for its over-the-top themes and avant-garde fashion choices. Some of its most memorable moments include Rihanna's yellow Guo Pei gown in 2015, Lady Gaga's four outfit changes in 2019, and Billy Porter's Egyptian-inspired entrance on a litter in 2019.
Today, the Met Gala is one of the most exclusive events in the fashion industry, with tickets costing up to $30,000 and a strict guest list curated by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Each year's theme is tied to the Costume Institute's exhibition, which showcases the history and evolution of fashion.
Whether you love it or hate it, there's no denying that the Met Gala has become an iconic cultural event that celebrates creativity, individuality, and the power of fashion to inspire and captivate us all.

Annotated Bibliography
Andrew Taylor , Ertu Unver & Graham Worth (2003) Innovative potential of 3D software applications in fashion and textile design, Digital Creativity, 14:4, 211-218 This paper examines in detail experimentation in 3D fabric and physical dynamic simulation. The author demonstrated the potential of 3D digital tools to simulate fashion and textile design, by applying Reactor Plug-in and software such as 3DS MAX and Poser 4. The author's experiment has provided a solid foundation with cutting edge technology at the time, which offers valuable reference to today’s digital fashion tools such as Clo3D or Marvellous Designer. I particularly like the experimental plug-in feature the author mentioned in the paper. It provides a very good insight into the future exploration of realistic fabric simulation development. Read Article
Ge Lei, Xiaohui Li, (2022) A new approach to 3D pattern-making for the apparel industry: Graphic coding-based localization,Computers in Industry Volume 136, 2022, 103587 This research explored a new experimental way to create digital patterns for the fashion apparel industry, the researchers used Artificial Neural Network and computer coding to digitalise 3D patterns to improve the efficiency in pattern adjustment and 3D fitting for product development process. I enjoy reading this research as this new method proposed in the research shows a great potential in different areas: it’s much less dependent on specialised 2D pattern drafting knowledge and software such as Gerber, allows us to adjust and modify the garment in real-time and get the corresponding pattern at the same time.

Istook, C.L. and Hwang, S.J. (2001) 3D body scanning systems with application to the apparel industry, Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management: An International Journal 5(2), pp. 120–132. This study discussed the current 3D body scanning technology for a comprehensive and accurate set of measurements through different types of technologies and scanning systems, such as White light Scanning systems, Light emitting diodes, Laser-based systems and more. The study provided sets of data to explain the fundamental logic on how each system works and pros and cons of each system. I particularly like when the author mentions capturing accurate human body data for virtual try-on, integration between captured data and apparel CAD systems, in today’s development, this study sets the foundation to digitalise human body forms for the Metaverse.

Farahi, B. (2017) Material behaviours in 3D-printed fashion items,” Architectural Design 87(6), pp. 84–91. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1002/ad.2242.
This study featured 5 unique fashion projects that used 3D printing technology, from creating a combination of soft and rigid materials with a 3D printer, to linking 3D material with a Neuro control system and interactive lighting under the material. The authors showcased how we can bridge fashion, art, technology and design to embrace our body and be aware of our environment and surroundings. I particularly like when the author takes 3D printing technology to open new approaches to design fields, the possibility of dynamic systems and experimenting with different material properties from a micro (16-micron resolution) to a macro perspective.

DORIAN ROMERO ( HE/HIM ) is a CIS MALE, FORTY-TWO year old ACTOR/AUTHOR who has been living in Moorbrooke for TWO MONTHS. They were born on JULY 23 and right now, they are currently residing in ELMSETT GREEN. It has been said that they look suspiciously like OSCAR ISAAC and if they had to choose a song to describe themselves, they would choose THE LUCKY ONE by TAYLOR SWIFT.
cw: racism mention, cheating
stats.
full name: dorian romero nicknames: romeo age: forty-two faceclaim: oscar isaac birthday: july 23, 1980 zodiac: leo gender: cis male pronouns: he/him sexual orientation: bisexual birthplace: guatemala city, guatemala occupation: actor, author, film maker location: elmsett green, moorbrooke
biography.
dorian romero was always enamoured with hollywood. growing up in moorbrooke, he was far away from it but he spent a lot of time watching tv and writing his own shows. he wrote and acted in his own plays. his family was always excited to see what the great romero would be cast in next! all he knew was that he wanted to be an actor, and that he’d be a really good one.
by the time he got to middle school, he began to audition for local commercials and department store modelling gigs. sadly he didn’t have much luck, he never understood why. his parents just told him to focus on school instead but never made him feel like less than just because the white kids were getting cast and he wasn’t. because of this he was a little sheltered, of course he wasn’t clueless about racist remarks but he it wasn’t until a school bully made an off hand comment of how cheerios would never cast a brown kid. the comment sent dorian off the edge, he acted out violently and got suspended for the week.
that week changed his life. all the time he stayed home he rewatched all those shows he loved and he finally saw that no one looked like him. everyone was white in hollywood and he made a vow to change that. this situation did crush his spirit and he stopped going to auditions, and instead just focused on his writing. it never really took off either, but he never stopped writing.
by the time he graduated with an acting degree from moorbrooke uni, hollywood was already starting to be a little more diverse. his career was still slow, he acted as the funny best friends, the sidekicks, the villains and never the main character. dorian was devoted to his craft, though. he wanted to be a great actor one day, he wanted to have his name in lights. he continued to act, published short stories and just kept working.
he moved around a lot, even tried la but ended up putting his roots in new york.
by the time he reached his late 20s and still hadn’t landed a permanent role, he thought maybe he needed to change his game. in university there was this one man who had caught dorian’s attention, but he was taken. dorian never acted on his feelings, he never said anything. he only watched from a distance and admired and he wrote. he still that notebook, filled with ideas about his fleeting muse. he started working on that story, he even got an agent and it was in the work of getting released.
he worked on that book for a whole year. he worked on it the night he turned 30 and that afternoon, on his birthday.. he got his big break. his book was up for several awards and was seen as a queer beacon in the community. his book was up for movie rights and thus changed dorian’s life.
the movie was an success. overnight the world knew who dorian romero was. he wrote and acted in the movie alongside, santiago. his name was on everyone’s tongue and it wasn’t long until he landed a tv show. it was a family drama that was on tv for 10 years. dorian’s every dream came true, he was finally a famous actor. his name was up in lights for years. he was finally satisfied.
unfortunately for him, the marriage agreement turned actual marriage with diana guo was now in shambled. he was busy, he was neglectful and she was cheating with his childhood friend. they divorced when dorian was 38. dorian stayed in new york until his show ended four years later. now he’s 42 and back in the sweet town he once called home.
he is satisfied with his career, and maybe even looking for love at this point. he’s in no rush. he wants to focus more on writing and catch his breath from the whirlwind that’s been his life.
connections.
childhood friends! he was in moorbrooke until the end of his degree ( 22 ) - silas ward
exes - anyone, either in nyc or in mb
dates - he’s been a part of the dating scene a little so i reckon he’s gone on a few dates, maybe some have even been more than one
more to come
