⚖️ Subtle Tyr Worship 🛡️
Try to take your promises more seriously; do your best to fulfill them
Own a weapon - be it self-defense or just one you admire
Take a walk/hike in nature; try to challenge yourself with doing a more difficult route (within reason; look after your well-being)
Have a candle that reminds you of him (no altar needed)
Wear jewelry that reminds you of him
Keep a picture of him in your wallet
Take a walk alongside a stream
Support causes you believe in; homeless shelters, humanitarian organizations, etc.
Volunteer at a homeless or animal shelter
Practice compassion towards others and yourself
Engage in random acts of kindness; holding the door for someone, offering to help someone carry something, giving to a family in need, etc.
Have a stuffed animal of any creatures you associate with justice, fairness, or courage; have a wolf stuffed animal
Keep imagery of spears/weapons, shields, scales, Viking warriors, promises/others, or self-sacrifice (specifically for the greater good) around
Practice patience and restraint, especially with people who bother/annoy you; you can also practice this towards yourself
Find healthy outlets for your emotions; martial arts, building, crafting, drawing, writing, etc.
Learn about emotional regulation; practice emotional regulation
Try to consider all perspectives in a situation; try to understand things from another's point of view; try not to immediately cast judgement
Practice not engaging in needless gossip; such things can end up being extremely harmful to all parties later on
Learn about healthy conflict resolution skills; try to implement these in your next conflict
Practice becoming more comfortable with the idea of conflict; it is only natural that we sometimes will disagree with people - that is not always a bad thing
Go outside of your comfort zone; challenge yourself by doing things/taking risks that intimidate you (to a reasonable degree)
Do someone else's chores or a task that is tough for them; offer to shovel snow for someone or do some yard work for them
Challenge yourself with some hard work; do something with your hands
Assert your boundaries; discover what your personal boundaries are; not all boundaries need be spoken
Let someone know when they've done something that bothers you; this is a kindness to both of you - a chance for them to learn
Tend to a garden - something that takes hard work or brings you peace
Feed neighborhood cats, dogs, birds, etc.
Donate supplies to homeless or animal shelters; hygiene kits are great for homeless, animal food and treats for animal
Focus on building a foundation of personal strength; know yourself inside and out; don't buy into the dumb things people may say, you know yourself better than others
Listen to your gut; work on trusting yourself
Exercise; get some movement throughout the day
Make something for someone else; make a gift yourself; a drawing/painting, a wood carving, a knitted blanket, a handmade candle, etc.
Check in with your loved ones more often, even just a quick "Hey, how are you" or "I love you"
Bake or cook something for your neighbors; hand them out; cookies, pastries, biscuits, etc.
Restore a vintage item; clean a toy or.important item from your childhood; take good care of your family heirlooms
Engage in family traditions or create your own c:
Get more comfortable with compromises; in disagreements, try to suggest them
If it's not something you're practiced at, learn to agree to disagree; we don't always have to prove our points, and that's ok
After a difficult day, take a warm bath/shower
Try your hand at a new skill or hobby
Support someone through a difficult time; support yourself through a difficult time
Know your limits when helping others; you need not sacrifice yourself for everyone you meet
Treat yourself with the same love and kindness that you treat others with
Make a list of your personal strengths; try to recognize them when they show up - maybe do this on a weekly, bi-weelky, or monthly basis
Surprise a loved one you live with by hanging up affirmational post it notes somewhere they'll see it; you can also do this for yourself
Get more comfortable with the idea that we don't get along with everyone; it's ok if someone doesn't like you
-
This is my list of discreet ways to worship Tyr. I hope someone finds this helpful. I'll likely add more in the future. Take care, everyone! 🧡

Man, sometimes impostor syndrome hits me when looking at other people's projects, repairs, and general accomplishments. I often forget to stop and look back on how far I've come at doing stuff in the vintage computer hobby.
I've fixed some cool weird old computers. I've been trusted to take care of prototypes by a former employee of my favorite defunct company. I've acquired some cool kits. Hell, I've built myself a homebrew computer by hand from scratch to my own specifications for the sake of seeing if my idea could work.
And yet when people see these projects, they talk about them, offer praise sometimes, and it just... feels weird. Why would you possibly want to care about this thing that I worked hard on?
I think I formally entered the hobby about 20 years ago this coming summer. Imagine what me from 20 years ago would think seeing my collection, or asking me questions about the computers that were on his mind back then. I gotta harness the same enthusiasm that me from 2004 had and move ahead.

I saw there was a vintage V2 Gundam up on one of my usual hobby sites. While the show did not keep my interest I had to snag this kit for one reason…
Tumblr media
Look at how small it is!!!
This vintage V2 is still 1/144 scale, it’s just that small! Oddly, the modern V2 kit from the HGUC line is actually about 1/132 scale, meaning it isn’t accurate alongside other 1/144 suits (unless it’s alongside other “miniaturized” 1/132 scale suits). So what I’m saying is that I am a huge nerd

!    *    ,    (oliver jackson - cohen,  thirty - five,  cis male,  he / him)  !    *    ,      hey,  did  you  see  JACK LOCKWOOD unloading  their  boxes  from  the  moving  truck?  i  heard  they  are  THIRTY FIVE  years  old  and  work  as  a  BAKER   at   1924 BAKERY.  they  totally  remind  me  of  BABY SAID  by  MANESKIN,  CIGARETTE BUTTS  and  WORN OUT SNEAKERS.  they’ll  probably  hang  out  at  FULL MOON BOOK SHOP  the  most  if  you  were  looking  for  them. 
tw : alcoholism, childhood trauma, implied child abuse.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION. bisexual.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS. single.
JOB. baker at 1942 bakery.
HOBBIES. art, drinking, playing drums.
PETS. none.
TRAITS. stubborn, creative, determined, rough around the edges, kind - hearted & addictive personality.
jack moved to wilma to escape his past. if he's asked he won't talk about it, he'd rather leave it behind and start a fresh. but it's clear his past has left it's scars and with that comes trauma. after taking to isolating himself for many years, jack has finally started to begin again now that he's found himself somewhere he can call home. he moved to wilma not knowing a soul and for some time he struggled to find his way.
he found a love for baking when his an ex - girlfriend introduced him to it and despite their relationship turning sour he continued to teach himself - this eventually landed him a job at the bakery. he brought himself an old vintage drum kit and started to learn in his garage to pass the time. his artistic flare became an outlet evey time his fingers wanted to reach for the bottle.
that's not to say he doesn't slip up every now and then. occasionally he spirals and still fights the demons of his past but slowly he's started to develop better habits for himself. wilma has become his home and he intends to continue growing his life there.

So, sometimes I hang around on r/simpleliving, and now and then someone asks about hobbies that are affordable, which confused me, but having spent more time fucking around you YouTube hobby videos I get it.
Like I love watching ASMR vintage aesthetic journaling. It's great to watch. But holy hell that is the most expensive conceivable way to do collages. The cheap way to do collages is to find yourself a pile of magazines someone else was going to throw out and use a gluestick, or these days if you happen to have a color printer maybe print out images you find online (or just keep it all digital and make mood boards.) Buying tons of stickers and washi tape and whatnot is fine but it's not going to be cheap.
And it's the same with pretty much any hobby video really -- even if the person making it isn't trying to get money off of affiliate links, which is by itself incentive to use the expensive stuff, or being gifted stuff by businesses, people generally make hobby videos when it's a hobby they're super into, not one they're just starting out at, where buying the nice extras is relatively likely to be worth it. But that doesn't mean you have to own a stand mixer to start baking, or a 36 color set of colored pencils to draw, or to own your own house on 20 acres in the middle of nowhere to garden. You don't even need a sewing machine to try out some sewing, you can get a kit with some thread and needles at a convenience store for a few bucks.
The stuff you see videos of is always going to be the expensive stuff; if you want cheap stuff, look for text-based how-to's. And in many cases the best option will be a book, which you might be able to find online if you don't want to buy it but even if you do buy, books are relatively cheap.
Entertainment videos, or lovely photos on Pinterest or what have you, are great for inspiration. They're not the best source of practical how-to advice. Never were, never will be. Keep separate mental buckets for idea-generation and practical how-to knowledge and get them from different sources.

*     ◟    :    〔   bie thassapak hsu  ,      cis male    +   he/him    〕      "bank" supachai    shinawatra ,      some say you’re a  thirty-three-year-old  lost soul among the neon lights.      known for being both  dutiful  and  destructive,  one can’t help but think of  nobody  by   mitski  when you walk by.    are you still a    CIO  at    NEWS CORPORATION LIMITED / SOLDIER FOR THE BURNING GODS,     even with your reputation as the broken crown?     i think we’ll be seeing more of you and    expensive watches, ruined paintings, and late nights,    although we can’t help but think of kendall roy, sisyphus, the green knight gawain    whenever we see you down these rainy streets.      (      kit  ,      25  ,      she/her  ,     cst  .     )
Tumblr media
Name: Bank Supachai Shinawatra Age: Thirty-three Birthday: April 27th Zodiac: Taurus
Hobbies: Art collecting, watch collecting, casual drug use Habits: Staying up until the sun rises, no social life outside of work, watching only old movies, never wears the same clothes twice. Family: Mongkut Shinawatra ( father ) Li Hua Tsai ( mother ), Anchali Shinawatra ( half-sister ) Orientation: Bisexual, biromantic
Inspirations: Kendall Roy, Sisyphus, The Green Knight, Icarus, Jay Gatsby Aesthetics: Newly pressed shirts, aging oak barrels, vintage cologne bottles, an open endless ocean, walking alone in the snow, glowing office lights at night. Headcanons:
Bank loves cats. His penthouse always has at least three or four cats running around. If Bank had a will, he would probably leave some of his money to them.
Mongkut and Bank's mother, Li Hua, was perhaps the shortest of his fathers' marriages, lasting less than six months. Bank's birth was a surprise to them all, with Li Hua believing herself unable to have children. Between the two, Bank has always spent more time with his father. Once he started making enough money of his own, Bank made sure to give his mother a nice home to reside in, and he has a standing dinner with her monthly.
College is perhaps the only time Bank had a genuine social life. Coding languages came to him naturally. And for his other classes, he had no trouble paying off others to do the work for him so he could party or drink.
Tumblr media
History: ( prison mention tw )
Born into the prestigious Shinawatra family, Bank was raised in the face of his father's company. Born just months after his father, Mongkut Shinawatra, and his mother, Li Hua Tsai were divorced, Bank was taken under his father's wing and given anything a young boy could ask for. He was surrounded by wealth, privilege, and experienced a life of pure opulence.
The empire belonging to the Shinawatra family grew with each passing year, and from the time he was a young boy, Bank was promised it all, the name, the glory, the respect that comes with leading people to victory, success, and riches. With any agreement, Bank had his own promise to uphold - to prove himself, to mold his young soul into his father's image of what should and should not be. A prince is simply gifted a crown, Bank was expected to earn it.
News Corporation Limited was not the only growing empire. Bank had watched technology grow alongside each asset his father purchased, and in that, Bank saw an opening. He had no passion for computers and languages, but an innate talent seemed etched inside of him. With the desire to inherit his family's business, Bank saw it to make himself integral to the company's support system. Coding, websites and programs and filters, Bank saw to it that he would learn them all in order to keep his corporate world as up to date with their competitors.
A talent initially meant to attract the attention of his father brought about the attention of more than what Bank could have expected. The Burning Gods, responsible for Mongkut's corporate success naturally had an interest in what services his son could offer to them. Eager to prove himself, Bank was more than happy to oblige. Social Security numbers, banking information, credit cards, and more. Any information uploaded online, Bank could get his hands on. He was untouchable, with a goose chase covering up his tracks.
— Or so he wished. A long-standing operation to take down a serial identity thief eventually led investigators to Bank himself. His father's influence could only save him from so much. From Mongkut's perspective, it was time his son learned his actions still had their consequences. Money could do a lot, but wouldn't save everyone. Bank sat through a lengthy trial, and even with the best lawyers, too many signs pointed back to him. Sentenced for five years in prison, Bank only served three, and was then released for good behavior.
For so much of his life, Bank's name meant one of respect, even fear of how far their influence reached. To Bank, it now feels like a collar chained around his neck, an inescapable shadow, and the fear that lurks around every corner. Bank still retains his position at his father's company, but expects every e-mail to be his last. And his position within The Burning Gods has been burned to the point of no return. Bank still recalls what he was promised as a young boy, and remains acutely aware of his own talents. His father, his family, his associates, may not believe in his ability to rise to the top, but he intends on showing them all just how cutthroat he can be.

my predictions for today’s trailer
okay so this season’s road map confirmed we would get one sdx drop, one stuff pack and four kits between january- april. we’ve already gotten the sdx (vitiligo!!!) and the castle and goth kits. that leaves a stuff pack and two kits - here are my predictions, check back later to see if i got any right lol
Tumblr media
stuff pack: if ea is announcing a stuff pack my guess is it will be a fashion, walk in closet, stylist, glam room type of pack. think vintage glamour vanity and whatever luxury party stuff tried to do. or maybe a diy/jewelry making stuff with expanded gameplay with crystals/collectibles, maybe sell your own jewelry on plopsy. i would love a new hobby for my sims and paranormal is somehow a stuff pack and has a career and amazing cas and bb, so it’s not off the table they will aim for that again. home chef hustle also came with gameplay - so i’m hoping for this
cas kit: this will be a collab kit which is great news bc all of my favorite kits are collabs (pastel pop, first fits, incheon arrivals etc). there are a lot of jewelry pieces in the promo shots - and wow we really need more/better jewelry and makeup. i would be SO happy if ea and a makeup guru/brand did a collab bc let’s face it, ea themselves can not make good (or even, decent) looking makeup. the mac collab is SO BAD and i can’t believe mac signed off on it. what. are. those. textures. we need better and we need more. i have an approximately six weeks of a 3d design course experience but i can at least make a line that’s not jagged????? and for the love of good lower the opacity and t r y to make it look like it’s actually on the sims’ face and not a smudge on my screen
bb kit: literally no clue. i hope the vanity/walk in closet idea above will be a stuff pack bc i would love a hobby, a new crafting machine - just more gameplay in general lol. i guess it could be watered down to a kit too do idk
let’s see if i got anything right: tbh

☆ –– (caitlin stasey, she/her, cis woman) who is james grey anyways? ew. you don’t know about her, we’ll bet you want to. they’re feeling 30 and crocheting feels like a perfect night to them. rumor has it they’re selfish and fickle because they care, but they’re also passionate and authentic in the best way. she works to make a little money as a(n) radio host they’ve rented on a place on cornelia street in the form of an apartment. august & cardigan is the song they could dance to the beat of forevermore. –– pinterest.
name: james grey
age: 30
birthplace: brooklyn, new york
current residence: cornelia street, nyc
gender: cis woman (she/her)
sexuality: bisexual (w/a preference for women)
occupation: radio host
face: caitlin stasey
positives: authentic, passionate, easygoing, confident, observant
negatives: selfish, fickle, aimless, cynical, irresponsible
character inspo: eddie munson (stranger things), robin buckley (stranger things), hope (booksmart), graham eaton (but I'm a cheerleader), donna pinciotti (that 70s show), steven hyde (that 70s show).
backstory
had a relatively normal childhood. grew up in new york as the only child to a seemingly loving couple. but, like most marriages, theirs ended up dissolving around the time james was ten. big bummer.
her time was split between her parents places after her mother ended up moving, generally living with her mother during the school years and with her father during the summers
loves her mother, truly, but she always tended to favor and take after her father
showed great potential in school, but was largely academically unmotivated. think the smartest kid in your on level classes who refused to go up into honors/ap level classes. classes bored her because they were easy, but she had absolutely no motivation to go to the classes that "challenged" her like her teachers recommended, so she just skipped classes lol
the most notable revelations that came out of grade school to james was that she liked girls, and she was capable of being much crueler than she thought (see: folklore love triangle)
also, that she had no idea what the hell she wanted to do in life
went to college because it was the Next Step to do, but ended up dropping out after two years when she still didn't know what to major in
after dropping out, she moved back in with her father in nyc and started a chain of aimless jobs. some of those jobs: barista, receptionist, model, podcaster, etc.
somehow ended up as a radio host for a small satellite radio station, and has been doing this for the last year, and she honestly likes it more than she thought she would.
her father owns a bar in greenwich, and over the years she's also liked playing bartender there from time to time.
she's honestly just trying her best to get by.
headcanons.
jack of all trades, master of none type.
has picked up and dropped hobbies as easily as she does jobs. some past hobbies: skateboarding (in high school, still does it when she's particularly stressed), drumming (had a small stint with a band in college), baking (gave up when she kept burning/undercooking all her treats). she's currently into crochet, and likes to do it when she's on the air or when she's watching movies at home.
thrifts most of her clothes. style leans vintage, fringe, leather, flare/ripped jeans, converse, but with a touch of femininity with flower prints and hair ribbons. (x)
has always found it easy to talk to people, has always been super laid-back and easygoing, but was never the popular type. can't stand crowds or fake people. charismatic loner burnout vibes.
420 friendly baby!!!!
when she was in high school, she got her hands on a tattoo gun kit and did shitty little basic tattoos on her friends and herself. the ones she has have mostly faded, but consist of small little figures/symbols on the insides of her fingers.
bi bi bi! strong preference for women. BIG flirt. lots of rizz. she's giving this tiktok. big top energy.
best gives love through physical touch and quality time. best receives love through words of affirmation.

wanted connections. (page!)
james was born and raised in nyc until she was 10, and then at least spent nearly every summer in the state up until she moved back permanently at 20.
on the main: her best friend & her crush connections (bff pinterest & crush pinterest)
the mark to her callie (vibes): very similar to steve/robin, except sex is in the equation! perhaps they first met as friends and then added fwb into the equation, or maybe they started as a fuck buddy that evolved into a genuine friendship entirely by accident. either way, this calls for a genuine friendship connection where sex is/was a key component of the relationship at one point or another. would be up for this dynamic to be something that is already settled in game (they already Know the ins/outs of their dynamic well), or as something brand new that they're navigating and we write out from the beginning!
relationship inspired by this gifset: a flirtationship, basically! james likes to flirt with your muse, who either plays oblivious or is actually oblivious. james keeps it up to see how long it'll take for your muse to either catch the hint or make a move. (w)
your friendly neighborhood bartender: her father owns a popular dive bar in the area, and over the years, james has taken shifts at the place, playing bartender whenever she is out of a job/needs money/is bored. your muse is one of james' regulars.
friends. very general. james is super chill. she can be a sarcastic ass sometimes, but it’s all in good fun. overall a very easygoing, laidback individual.so she’s bound to have a good group of friends in the city. people she smokes with. queer friends. neighbors at her apartment complex. people she goes bar hopping with to pick up girls. people she thrifts with.
past work connections. between the ages of 20-28, james worked a series of different jobs as she tried to figure out what she wanted to do with her life. and it was through these jobs that she met your muse! maybe they were coworkers, or maybe they were a regular at james work. anything works! the following is an incomplete list of her past jobs (more can be added to fit!): barista (she did this for like two years purely for the vibes), receptionist, model (small stint, usually for her photography friends), nursery home caretaker (liked this more than she thought she would bc old ppl are batshit crazy), podcaster (I like to think she didn’t run her own show, but rather was a super frequent guest host on her friend’s show).
hobby buddies. like jobs, james has cycled through a number of hobbies as well. she tends to hyperfixate on one hobby for a period of time before moving onto something else. maybe your muse was someone she met through these hobbies! here is another incomplete list of her past hobbies: skateboarding (primarily in high school, but when she’s stressed, she takes to skateboarding around the city or central park), drumming (led to her being the drummer with a small garage band in college. nothing serious, very amateur, and dropped it after dropping out, but showed off at house parties over the years if she was drunk/trying to impress a girl), baking (massive fail, if any of her friends tried her creations, they regretted it), bingo (got really into it while working at a nursery home, still goes to a game at least once a month), crocheting (current fixation, really into crocheting clothes right now and small plush).
exes. while james isn't opposed to love, she generally is far too fickle to stay in a relationship for long. while she hasn't been actively looking for anything serious. I'm sure one or two relationship developed into something serious despite her best efforts, but she's single now so it must have ended for some reason or another.
situationships. subsect of the above, because I feel like this is actually more where most of james past romantic/sexual connections lie. lots of flirting, dates, hook ups with absolutely none of the relationship defining! james wasn't stressed about it, but maybe your muse was. the undefined nature of it all could have led to some potentially messy situations. or maybe your muse was just as down for it, and their situationship faded naturally without any hard feelings.
I really want anything and everything in between! these are just general ideas, I'm open to all sorts of plots! <; 3
