#we love cyborg in this household

Cyborg Noodle appreciation post 🗣‼️

pov: your 15 year old adopted daughter dies in an explosion orchestrated by you that was meant to kill some dude hiding in ur windmill, so as a coping mechanism you use her dna to build a robot clone of her & make it your bodyguard/replacement guitarist

What do you think Kai would do to make Cinder feel better whenever he notices her having occasional waves of sadness where she thinks she’s not good enough to be with him?❤️ps. We love Cinder in this household

I personally disagree with this characterisation of Cinder. Cinder does not believe that she is unworthy of Kai. Rather, she recognises that society deems her unworthy, but she does not allow those views to mould her own thinking of herself.

At first, she "can't disagree" that she is "unworthy of the attention of the emperor" in Konn Torin's eyes. However she also states in the same scene that "It was not her fault [Kai] liked her. It was not her fault she was cyborg. She would not apologise." So Cinder clearly strikes a difference between understanding how others view her and distinguishing this from her own self esteem. This is affirmed in Cress: "Why? Are you worried that you may have had actual feelings for a lowly cyborg?" Cinder actually defends herself as a cyborg and won't let herself be belittled for it. If she personally fed into the prejudice that cyborgs are inferior, she would have never argued for reform in the Treaty of Bremen meeting.

When Cinder expresses doubt in their relationship, it is not because she thinks she's unworthy of him. Instead, Cinder struggles to believe that he would choose her as he influenced by the stigma around cyborgs. As Cinder has "seen the prejudices of the people in the Commonwealth"--Adri, Pearl, Chang Sacha and the cyborg draft--she understandably struggles to accept the feeling of "being desired, when she'd spent her life believing no one would ever see her as anything but a bizarre science experiment." Kai, at the very top of society, could have "any girl" he chose. This is why his love for her is disconcerting and takes time for her to trust.

If Cinder were to feel unworthy of him, what would be the reason? We know it's not because she's cyborg, and although Cinder thinks of Kai as being "noble", she never presents him as morally superior to her. She even criticises several of his political decisions. If we are saying that Cinder feels unworthy of being empress, then yes, there is certainly merit to those discussions. However, Cinder feels unworthy because she fears disappointing her people. She never links it back to Kai and somehow 'failing him.'

Why I like Franky.

I really like Franky because I didn't get to have my twenties. I was a full time caregiver for my sick mother at 19 - 22, (she died of complications related to cancer treatment) then from 22-29 full time caretaker of my grandmother (she passed from end stage COPD) and from 29-current I'm still full time caretaker of my grandpa who is 91.

I met my spouse online, (online was my only escape) we were married in 2022, and my health started taking a nosedive. It hadn't been great even before that, but I am stubborn and push myself until collapse. But I'm likely going to be in a wheelchair before I'm 40, I use a cane, or crutches outside of my house because my balance and ability to stay on my feet is pretty much nonexistent. I'm partially deaf, Chronic pain, chronic migraines, IBS...

I didn't get to enjoy being an adult until it was too late for me to be active and comfortable in my own body. I will never be able to hike part of the Appalachian Trail. I will never be able to go see anything that isn't ADA accessible. I never got to go to parties, or do stupid things. I went from a controlling abusive household, to one year of college on my own, then back to that abusive household for reasons I won't get into.

That year in college, I discovered I love to run. I ran 2 miles every morning, even though it hurt like hell. I loved it, I felt so free!

I will never be able to run again.

I will never be able to go up and down stairs without pain, or without people looking at me like I'm disgusting or stupid for having to frantically hold on to the rail and put both feet on each step so I don't fall.

I like Franky because in some part, he is me. He was young, and able bodied, and free... And then he wasn't. And now, he has a body made of metal and circuits, the limbs that carried him are gone. The eyes and ears that saw adventure in everything are powered by batteries and tiny speakers.

Franky isn't just the cool punky cyborg. He's a quadruple amputee, his internal organs are half replaced by machinery. Every day has to be painful, not just physically, but mourning the version of himself that was obliterated.

But he's smiling. He's making jokes, he creates, and destroys, and gives life. He is full of love and kindness and joy and he is surrounded by people who are just as broken as he is but in different ways, and they're happy.

And God's I want that. It gives me hope.

[duochromium]

as foretold in my ongoing projects list, here is also the duochromacy fic ideas list:

-

first up we’ve got the most expected idea of mine ever, the unnamed chen fic. basically, yukari and ran have to leave gensokyo on an emergency for a few days (we get to that shortly) and the saigyouji household has to babysit the catgirl for a few days.

each chapter is gonna focus on a different day and it’s primarily gonna show some development over the span of said days (chen growing to trust these two weird ghost women that sometimes visit her house, youmu and yuyuko growing to learn how rough it actually is to take care of this rabid bitch “HOW DOES RAN DO IT”)

i have individual plans for each chapter ofc but no spoilers

there’s gonna be plenty of great details and also i’m not gonna forget myon this time i PROMISE. lot of funny or cute ideas i shoved in here. the funniest idea of course is each chapter ending with a scene of checking in on what ran and yukari are actually up to and as each chapter progresses you gain a better idea of what they’re doing until out of nowhere the second to last chapter ends with them completing their mission by breaking into the White House and defeating Cyborg Shaquille O’Neal who was staging a coup of the United States. i refuse to elaborate

anyways great idea obviously, gonna have a lot of hilarious or adorable moments with my favorite characters plus i have an excuse to write more chen

(oh and shockingly i am putting zero youmu/ran in this one. they’re just homies)

-

another one that i don’t have a title for is an aunn focused work. i absolutely LOVE aunn she’s definitely in my top 10 2hus and i needed an excuse to write her so:

a oneshot where reimu is gone for some reason or other and entrusts aunn to take care of the shrine (maybe out of actual trust for the dog but maybe everyone else was unavailable) and while reimu is gone the fox bitch herself, tsukasa decides it’s a great opportunity to try and take over the hakurei shrine so cue aunn and tsukasa basically just engaging in 5k words of absurd spy vs spy gags that near the absurdity of looney tunes. love aunn and i suppose i do need to study tsukasa eventually

-

my final idea that’s developed enough to form a full work is a THIRD one I haven’t settled on a name i’m really fond of yet. it’s more mystia (goated character) and kyouko (#2 touhou dog) where they decide they need to find a drummer for their band so they start taking applications or recruiting or something. each chapter would focus on a different candidate for drummer until they eventually settle on one (i have zero idea who yet)

good way to work on longer conversations (something i haven’t tried up until “they beat the shit out of each other at the end”) and also i love chojuu gigaku

i recognize that some dude made a work where mizuchi joined them as a drummer but my response? uhh i came up with this before that came out ペニスブラストオブイーブル (PENIS BLAST OF EVIL)

thanks 4 reading

Lisa Overton

The game ate her last name in a sync.

The adopted mother of Britta Overton, YA Lisa joined the household with Jennifer and Maddox as a way to live cheaper and split the bills, but she wound up taking care of Maddox more often than not, helping him with homework and making sure he had food in the fridge.

Jennifer all but dropped Britta off with Lisa when she was born, and shortly thereafter, died.

Lisa hadn't been employed and now had a baby and a teenager to take care of--

Until Maddox agreed to stay here with a tenant, and she moved into a friend's attic to raise Britta.

The friends were rich and didn't mind her up there, as long as she kept herself and the baby up there. And she did good, she only needed a bathtub and a few baby items. Britta was never left wanting for anything except space.

Shortly after Britta aged up to child, Maddox gave them a call.

He'd been an adult for quite some time, and he'd been working hard as a Mad Scientist.

And as such, he'd gotten attention from some aliens, lately, and so he had been abducted and impregnated.

Long story short, once they were born, he loved his daughters, and he didn't want to send them back to their home planet-- but he also did not want to stop working, yet, and keeping twins wouldn't allow for a full time job if he wanted to raise them right.

Lisa said no, but Maddox cut her off and said, "I want to freeze you and my little sister in time until I'm ready for a family, and then we can all live together."

She had to talk to him again and meet him and his daughters, and the cyborg hand and spaceship helped convince her.

After the cryostasis, Maddox sustained them with his massive garden. He also brought home a colleague to help around the house, and had another alien implant, a boy.

Justice League and how theatre nerd they are:

Bruce/Batman

70%  Where do you think Jason got his love for plays from? He’s not more since he doesn’t like musicals that much because he can’t bear the thought of getting too into it and being caught singing Legally Blonde out loud.

Clark/Superman

30% Honestly, he just doesn’t like most fictional stuff or fictional versions of true stories either. This is why he doesn’t like journalists who spread fake news but he can atleast understand them. 

Diana/Wonder Woman

75% LOVES those elaborate, melodramatic plays because it reminds her of the Amazons way of acting/putting on entertainment. Not the biggest fan of modern, more realistic plays but she doesn’t mind them either. She likes musicals if they fit into the first category. 

Barry/Flash

50% He likes the popular stuff like Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen, but isn’t SUPER into it. Will love using it as a bonding exercise with other people though. 

Hal/Green Lantern

80% Had a hardcore theatre phase sometime around college. He loved it in high school too but was too afraid for tryouts. He’s really good at melodramatic acting and once secretly joined the local theatre community of some town where no one knows him but had to quit because of Green Lantern and his normal job taking up too much time. 

John/Green Lantern

85% LOVES THEM especially musicals but hides his passion for it so no one knows. Also has an amazing singing voice so he definitely grooves to every musical known to man. 

Victor/Cyborg

40% Doesn’t really care that much but he won’t mind viewing any theatre with other people. Is a surprisingly good actor just doesn’t care about doing it, like he’ll act in a play if someone wants but he also doesn’t really mind not doing it. 

Arthur/Aquaman

25% Actively dislikes them. Will shoulder through a play if someone else wants to watch it but will fall asleep in the middle. Can appreciate good plot/design, but still won’t watch it again. 

Oliver/Green Arrow

N/A Mans doesn’t give a shit, he hardly knows what kind of stuff he likes/dislikes even outside of media entertainment.

you know i dont think we talk about sarge’s actual intelligence enough. like he’s almost on par with loco in season 15 (im mean about everything after season 13 but im a sucker for the blues and reds, especially temple and loco). lets review here

he took a robot kit that was assumedly designated for alpha and built a robot that may be on paper a “dumb ai”, but its literally just because he wasnt made via cognitive impression modeling. lopez cant run equipment sure but he has almost as much intelligence and far more emotional capacity than ANY of the fragments in project freelancer. (i mean the only other dumb ai we know of in red vs blue are vic and f.i.l.s.s. vic is virtually capable of only one tone of voice and emotion, and the only time we shows actual emotion is when he begs dylan to kill him. and f.i.l.s.s. also did not show much genuine emotion until they found her with chairman hargrove and she had clearly been mistreated, to say the least.) lopez has shown a huge range of emotions, even with his robotic tone, and has shown to be great with humans and really aware of others emotions as well as his own. i mean he fell in love???

he completed an operation that swapped out nearly all of grif’s organs for simmons’, and made simmons a cyborg. by himself

when he and grif were at the digsite and simmons was in valhalla, sarge literally pieced together the ENTIRE situation, with explanations, just by tiny details.

he was an ODST and the only reason they kicked him out was because he built the ship’s nav A.I. a ROBOTIC BODY. he extracted an A.I. intended to stay within the ship and built it a body. not even with the robot kit he used to build lopez. just knowing him probably from scratch

sarge, with the robot HE built, knocked out and captured the biggest badass of freelancer that not even carolina could defeat, agent texas.

he then builds two more robot bodies, both to hold smart A.I.s, one a fragment (Tex/Beta) and one a full A.I. (Church/Alpha).

in the holo-chamber that lopez built, sarge asks simmons if he’s been messing with his jeep prototypes. this implies sarge designs, prototypes, and builds full custom cars???

he dismantles and (mostly successfully) re-assembles an entire goddamn UNSC mantis. i dont know about you guys but i cant even dismantle and re-assemble a LAPTOP let alone AN ENTIRE MILITARY ASSAULT DROID

lets not forget that on the moon vacation spot he built an army of evil robots to fight. an ARMY of EVIL ROBOTS. FROM SCRATCH.

ok i think you guys get the point. we love and appreciate sarge in this household

Aight, the boys and Christmas. Go.

Shu- just when you think Guinness yet again will have to update the record for the most time spent asleep without medical inducement, blonde mop over here takes extra special care to hang up all the Christmas decorations, himself included. you would too after tasting Reiji’s fruitcake

Reiji- although he booked the perfect getaway from Sakamaki-household hell on Florida-lines’ luxury one week cruise, his entire trip — as expected — was ruined because he forgot Kevin. all the java in the world could and did not prepare him for the polka he had to listen to on the ride home

Ayato- his latest get-rich-quick scheme? making dash-and-runs for Charity Santa’s buckets. surprisingly lucrative. earns monthly the equivalent of what it would take to rent a furnished cardboard in Toronto, no mere feat. Fordes is even on a first-name basis with him now. but, for some reason, he still insists on the ugly sweater look. must think it goes with the one-pant-leg up thing he’s got going on he’s not wrong

Laito- is currently being blue-balled by the lack of chimneys in the neighbourhood. he figured parading as Santa would be the perfect excuse for breaking and entering your daughter’s bedroom and even spent a whole five dollars on a Dollarama Santa costume. sigh, he always figured the holidays would end with a bang, just not the kind coming from daddy shooting him in the face for making-do by entering through the front door instead. at least he had the courtesy to not enter through the back ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Kanato- Ms. Claus couldn’t be happier with ol’Saint Nick’s recent trimmings at the waist. the days of wearing the careful combination of one and three pairs of earplugs and mufflers on top of no less than four noise-cancelling headphones to drown out her hubby’s snoring are finally behind her. and who are we to thank for this Yuletide miracle? kirbo here, of course, who — without qualms — vacuumed up all cookies who had the misfortune of being out in the open. there is a petition to add him to the smash bros. roster being drafted as we speak

Subaru- went to the store to treat himself to a discount holiday lobster feast and somehow ended up taking home a pet clam. his name was Larry and he looked adorable in top hats, that is until Reiji steamed him for his fortified fish fumet. positively inconsolable ever since

Kino- so help him, he doesn’t care if he has to sit on the lap of every crusty-bearded mall Santa with musty nacho-stank for breath that our fair country has to offer. he will be the first kid on the block to own a firework shitting mecha griffin dragon cyborg, the sobering limits of reality be damned

Ruki- like the perfect twitter SJW eagle scout, he makes it his life’s mission to unleash the max-280 character rant on any and all cretins who dare post ‘merry Christmas’ instead of ‘happy holidays’. i’m sure that’s what the good lord would have wanted

Kou- his ass is commercial grass. you best believe his Christmas releases have gone more viral than Mariah Carey such that radio stations consider it a public service to put them on loop. subaru is practically seizuring from nightmares induced from seeing his face plastered just about fuckin’ everywhere, including tattooed to his own ass don’t ask, long story

Yuma- rumour has it that he keeps more than just the remains of poor Betsy (she made the most lovely roast) in the garbage cans parked outside on the Mukamis’ driveway, but who’s gonna check? not me, no siree bub

Azusa- it’s decidedly his favourite holiday. after all, a White Christmas means getting frostbite from playing too much in the snow, then burning his hands warming up by the fire, and subsequently scorching his tongue on the coco — what more could he ask for? :)

Terraria Optimal NPC Setup and Happiness 1.4

In this content, you can read the terraria optimal npc setup and happines guide. There are certain settlements to regulate npc happiness in terraria. You can find them in our guide and we will provide terraria best npc setups for you. #Terraria We know that there are people who have a hard time finishing the Terraria game. If you are one of those who find it difficult to finish the game, let's take you to our Terraria guide.

Terraria Optimal NPC Setup and Happiness Housing 1.4

Below I will provide an explanation for in a quick description why I have located who I have collectively in the identical household. I am open to reviews and different idea's so sense free to comment and permit me know. Updated on 10.15.2022 Terraria NPC Happiness If you already know what happiness is and the way it outcomes the NPC, sense free to skip this part. In the new 1.4 update, NPCs now have individual choices about living close to other NPCs or what biome they stay in which in turn affects their costs. The lowest fees they are able to get all the way down to are 75% of the original fee when they're happy. The highest fees they can stand up to are 150% of the original price. So, this device blessings gamers who treat their NPCs with care and now not don't simply cramp all of them into one small box. You will need to elevate the happiness of any NPC Vendor before they'll sell you Pylons for the biome they're currently in. You may have a max of 2 NPCs inside 25 blocks and a max of four NPCs within a hundred and twenty blocks, otherwise it'll be considered "over crowded" and raise expenses for all NPCs affected. Get extra of a reduction for putting them with NPCs they love vs just like. If you positioned them with NPCs they dislike or hate, then costs will move up. This would not have an effect on the Travling or Skeleton Merchant; they use exclusive mechanics which I'll cover below. Optimal NPC Preview

Terraria Optimal NPC Setup and Happiness Housing Description Forest - Guide + Merchant - Near/in your foremost base inside the forest - Zoologist + Golfer - Anywhere at the least 25 blocks faraway from the Guide and Merchant so that you do not get terrible happiness Snow Prior to shifting the Tax Collector (or Santa) you will need to transport Mechanic and Cyborg to the snow biome and buy the pylon. - Santa - Likes the snow but hates Tax Collector so make sure he's far sufficient away - Tax Collector + Any NPC Pet - Likes the snow, I'm now not sure if happiness impacts how much/rapid he makes money needs testing but will maximum probable flow him as soon as I get Santa. Need 2 NPCs to use the Pylon and pets remember as an NPC to use Pylons. Desert - Steampunk + Cyborg - Best charges for Steampunk, she loves Cyborg and Desert and Cyborg likes Steampunk - Gun Dealer + Nurse - Getting satisfactory charge from Gun Dealer Jungle - Witch Doctor + Dryad - They just like the jungle and each different - Painter + Clothier - Painter likes the jungle and wished a spot to put the Clothier (I do not value him very excessive if you can't tell he is free to roam) Ocean - Pirate + Angler - Best fees for Pirate for buying gadgets to reinforce your defenses for invasions - Stylist + Dye Trader - Best charges for Stylist, she loves the Dye Trader and Ocean Mushroom Surface - Truffle + Any NPC Pet - Truffle will spawn on Mushroom surface, however you will want to create it manually first while in hardmode. Need 2 NPCs to use the Pylon and pets matter as an NPC to use Pylons. You will need to move any other NPC (Dryad for example) with Truffle to shop for the Pylon first then you may circulate the Dryad out and move the Pet in Hallow - Wizard + Party Girl - They both like Hallow and each other Underground - Demolitionist + Tavernkeep - Love each other and likes underground, desirable to have the pylon right here for gem tree farm - Goblin Tinkerer + Mechanic - Best charges for reforging with the Goblin Tinkerer Terraria Traveling and Skeleton Merchants Traveling Merchant His costs are maximum the the closer he's to the initial spawn. The further away he's from the initial spawn the decrease his prices are. He has a risk to randomly spawn every day next to 2 NPC's. So make certain to have city in Ocean biome and what ever biome is next in your dungeon and wish he spawns there for the lowest fees. Skeleton Merchant His prices and item he sells are suffering from the phase of moon which I will display the charge exchange below. During the sunlight hours his expenses will pass up 10% and all through night time time there may be no effect to prices. Note that he spawns randomly underground and could despawn as soon as he's off.

Fuck it, here are my One Piece sexuality headcanons, in order of how strongly I feel about them.

Edit: I'm gonna explained my reasons cos I just want to talk about them.

Luffy is aroace because he just want friends and adventure. I can't see him really holding anyone's hand or kissing anyone past the forehead for goodnight kisses.

Crocodile is FTM transgender because we all know what Iva was talking about, come on.

Franky is FtM transgender, Pansexual aromatic. Now, Franky is a hard one to explain but I'll try. FtM guys love dad shirts and also once we get the type of body we want, we tend to show it off, hence the need to be so bare, even in the snow. He's very emotional, is non toxic about himself, loves pink and loves his body yet also is very masculine. No one knows why he got kicked off the his family's crew but I think he ran into Iva on the way and made something amazing for the army in a quick exchange for a good ol' gender swap. He also has a essentially has a Deadname that was kinda androgynous and now uses a more masculine name all be not by choice, he could have easily changed it back once joining the crew but he just didn't. On tope of all of this, he's a cyborg meaning that he can litrally make any also all changes to his physical spy he wants. He's pansexual cos i feel he would be down for anyone and be a very respectfully person with LGBT matters and he's Aromatic because he constantly says in cannon how he's not looking for romance.

Brook is Gay & Biromantic. Okay, here me out. Given that He's 90 and he died pre Rodger even being important at all, I don't think Brook felt safe to be out. However, he dated Yorki and he was his first and only ever boyfriend. I feel like the bond shown was stronger that what was give time for. It wasn't just loyalty to the Captian, it was so much more and I'm so sad we'll never get to know more because it's never gonna be important enough ever. I put him as Biromantic because A. He's... A skeleton, I don't think he could fuck if he wanted to and B. I think he would take women on nice picnic dates in flower gardens with lots of music, very traditional man while the only difference with men date night being closer to a lake, more privet are I think he would still be worried about it all. Also, I don't think he wants to do anything with the underwear he asks for. Like, it just feels to me like genuinely just wants to see them unlike the others. It's a strange thing.

Nami is Bisexual Demiromantic. This was hard too cos she grew up in the lesbian household™ but Nami strikes me as the type to sleep with people when she needs but really needs that trust to feel anything more for them.

Robin is Bi. I feel like home girl would be overall hesitant, as she is with many thing but once she knows your good, she'll be all in.

Jinbe is gay. Idk why

Vivi is lesbian. I also don't know why but everyone feels she's kissed Nami before and honestly, yeah I see that. Probably how they both new 100% what to identify as too lol

Ta-da! That's it for what I think

⚠️Chapter 5 spoilers⚠️ Chapter Recaps and Predictions for Future Dormitory Chapters.

Pardon me for being a little slow but I have just realized a trend? Aside from the fact that Twisted Wonderland seems to be a very “Screw society” game, the take-away of every Twisted Wonderland arc reflects the morals the of their respective Disney classic, except the villains are the ones experiencing it. 

Heartslabyul: 

Just like Alice in Wonderland, the first plot of the first Chapter centres around the idea that rules are not always meant to be followed. However, as I have mentioned in a previous post, many have theorized that the story of Alice in Wonderland is the journey of a child towards adulthood, during which they begin to realize their individual personalities. The Queen of Heart’s tyranny thus represents societal rules and expectations. In the first chapter, this is not illustrated by Riddle’s strictness. Instead, it is illustrated by the expectations and rules that Riddle’s mother has imposed on him. Riddle will then learn that not everything his mother said is correct, and will grow to have his own opinions. We even see him screwing up the mont-blanc. His mistake is very... um... him though. 

Savanaclaw:

Following the Heartslabyul arc is the Savanaclaw arc. Again, the plot is similar to that of The Lion King. Both Leona and Scar are the second-born, and the fact that their brothers have a son makes it impossible for them to become kings. This has lead to Leona’s somewhat inferiority complex. The lazy lion proceeds to come up with a plan to overthrow the more powerful Malleus in the Magift competition, but fails because of the Heartslabyul gang. No matter what he does, not everything goes according to plan. This is where “Hakuna Matata” becomes important. In the Lion King, it is taught to Simba, the protagonist, but in Twisted Wonderland, it has become a lesson that Leona has learnt. Life is not fair, but instead of choosing to dwell on that concept and suffer, you could choose to be happy instead. Despite not being able to become King, Leona is still very intelligent and very much capable, earning the respect of his dorm members and many more people. 

Octavinelle:

Fish arc covers the topic of bullying, which many of us have experienced. In this chapter, Azul strives to become more powerful as a result of bullying, and has thus grown to become a very talented mage. His collection of contracts is similar to both Ariel’s collection of human objects and Ursula’s collections of those who failed to pay their debt. All these collections are but material collections, and in Azul’s eyes, his collection is a measure of his worth, as seen from when he declares that he will be useless if Leona were to destroy the contracts. What both Ariel and Azul were missing was as a matter of fact not their material collection. Instead, it was love for Ariel, and friendship for Azul. Jade and Floyd gave him friendship, which he did not have as a victim of bullying, and I’m pretty sure that he realizes that both their presences are more valuable than mere material contracts. I am also certain that Jade and Floyd think so too, although they say otherwise. 

Scarabia:

Scarabia arc’s overblot goes to Jamil, you poor boy. Because of his position as the Asim family’s servant, he believes that as long as he is in the presence of Kalim, he will never be able to be who he really is. Aladdin also thinks that he cannot be with Jasmine if he isn’t royalty. However, we all know that Jamil has more to offer as an individual. He is intelligent and powerful, and will remain intelligent and powerful despite his position as a servant. Aladdin is loved by Jasmine despite being a non-royal. Scarabia’s chapter centres around the idea that an individual’s potential and worth is not defined or limited by their status or position, as Jamil has surely proven to us. 

Pomefiore:

The recent Pomefiore arc is also very relatable and nothing less than outstanding, highlighting the importance of “beauty” in more than one way. This chapter straight up tells us that ballet is not restricted to girls, and it has already earned my respect. What’s more outstanding is its emphasis of effort. Vil is shown to be frustrated because of being in Neige’s shadow. GIVE HIM THE LICENSE TO BE FRUSTRATED HE WORKED SO HARD! Despite his hard work, he is less popular than the cheery and pretty Neige. In the VDC, Neige’s cover of a children song grabbed more attention than the song he poured his sweat, blood and tears over. No one cares about the effort behind the scenes, and all the praise goes to the final product. In Snow White, the Evil Queen will never be the most beautiful, because she is ugly inside. This could apply to this chapter. Despite being more successful, Neige, unless stated otherwise, lacks the diligence and hard work that Vil has put into his craft.

Ignihyde:

All right folks this is where the predictions starts. The recurring theme of this game is conflict against society. From this, I will predict that Idia and Hercules will share a common theme. People call them monsters. Hercules is called a monster because of his inhuman strength, while Idia’s case will most likely be because of Ortho. Idia is undoubtedly a genius engineer, and since Ortho is a cyborg, there are chances that he was once a human but died, and is turned into a cyborg by his brother. Idia creating him from scratch is not likely because he already mentioned a “previous Ortho”. Because of this, Idia is feared by many people as well. However, if this theory were to be correct, it would mean that the story will follow the moral in Hercules that underlines the importance of staying true to oneself and that people will love you for who you are. Hercules definitely stayed true to himself, and in the end, instead of being labelled a monster, he became loved by many. I’m sure that it will be the same way with Idia, although I am not sure about the situation that will help incite this. 

From how he encouraged Riddle to break away from his mother’s rules in the first chapter,, it is highly possible that Ace would play a role in helping Idia express his mad scientist vibes. If Ace does not help Idia, he will probably still play a big role alongside Ortho, as they are both younger siblings. From ghost marriage, we can also see Ortho’s ability to call Ace out on his bullshit. Ace is a child full of lies, and his true personality may also not be what he displays every day. With Ortho’s advance “Your body sayin you lyin boy” technology, I think that we could finally see a change in our dumb ginger boy’s personality, as well as gain some juicy insight into the Trappola household. Epel is also a plausible factor, seeing that he has embraced his cute and wild side in Chapter 5. However, if the story were to follow the same pattern as in Chapter 3 with Jack and Octavinelle, Epel will most likely only help the main character, and Vil would help with the dorm leader in question. But we’ll see about that.

Diasomnia

Sleeping beauty is a story where love is a powerful force. In the dorm that is very family orientated, there is no doubt that love will be a common theme in this story arc. However, just like Pomefiore, the first year also has to play an important role in the story. Sebek, unlike waka sama, is probably mortal. Another theme in sleeping beauty is that growing up presents all sorts of existential crisis. I am pretty certain that Sebek’s existential crisis would come in the form of fey vs human. Power vs mortality. How will Malleus overblot then? Following the pattern, it would likely be because of a problem that contrasts to their first year. As Sebek gets to know the idiot combo, he will gain more friends, and Malleus might find his most loyal guard taken away from him, or it may come in the form of Sebek or Silver, or both, objecting him in some way. If both happen to be proven wrong, it is still likely that he will overblot because of something that involves his loneliness or lack of understanding of mortality. It could even be caused by seeing Sebek and Silver grow up, and suddenly be hit with the realization that they both may one day leave his side or pass away, and that the main character, who does not fear him at all, will also one day return to their world or die, leaving him behind once again. 

The conflict will probably then be resolved by the understanding that despite all this, he has friends. Lilia, Sebek, Silver, the main character, and perhaps even Ace and Deuce, and Idia and Ortho for good measure, are people precious to him, and it is important for him to treasure the time that he has with them.

That’s all for today! These are probably not accurate, and I’m sure that Yana Toboso is at least 10 dimensions away from me when playing chess, but it is fun to compare the storyline with their respective classic film. Either ways, only time will tell how the story progresses. So I’ll keep an eye out for any previews! Thank you for reading!

QUARTERLY GOAL UPDATE

The quarter is officially over, which means it’s time to take a look back at our goals and see how we progressed. It’s also time to set new goals! 

If you’re unfamiliar, every 3 months I create a list of 10 to 25 career and personal goals with the intention of completing at least *half* of them within the quarter. I announce them publicly to add extra incentive. If I succeed at completing at least half, I get to share the win with all of you! And if I fail, well, I get to share that with you as well.

Last quarter was a clusterfuck for the Cyborg household. Cliff was hospitalized for 3 weeks and was basically on death’s doorstep. My PTSD was the worst it’s been in years. In positive news, we bought a new house - our dream house! However all home owners know that moving ain’t easy. 

All this to say, if you saw what my original Q3 goals were, you’ll notice they’ve changed dramatically. That’s because we purchased a house and Cliff got ill, and thus I had to switch my quarterly focus.

Anywho, let’s see how I did!

🙌🏼Goals July - September 2021:

Write 100 pages of TSA - Tbh I haven’t written anything since early May, before Cliff was hospitalized. I miss writing dearly, but I’m not about to harp on myself for missing this goal. My partner was deathly ill. Priorities.

❌Edit short story - coming soon!

❌A quarterly income goal - surpassed it in month 2!

A quarterly YouTube goal  - had to take several breaks due to hospital visits and moving. 

❌Hold a book sale

❌Hold a merch sale

❌Finish optimizing my YouTube channel - with the help of my wonderful assistant, Grace. I wouldn’t have gotten through this quarter without her.

Implement a better interview set up

❌A quarterly business goal 

❌A quarterly research goal

❌ Replace Cliff’s car battery

Whiten teeth - look, I had shit to do

Declutter house - everything is decluttered except for the master closet.

❌Get a new car - it arrives in November!

❌Get a new house - we love it so much <3

❌Install a stairlift - it’s been a Godsend to Cliff. I’m so thankful for disability friendly technology. 

❌Replace the master bedroom floor - this was quite literally finished yesterday lol.

❌Sell Cliff’s car

❌Get the showers finished 

❌Get the retaining wall done

As you can see, I completed 15/20 goals, which is definitely more than half. Thus, I win the quarter!

Honestly, I’m incredibly proud of myself. This quarter was traumatic and debilitating. It was such a tremendous challenge, and the fact that I not only got through it, but have come out the other end in a much better place, means a lot to me. 

Cliff is doing better than he’s ever felt literally since he broke his spine in 2013. My PTSD is still wonky, but I’m trying out a new medication that has already been very beneficial. My platform and career are booming, and our new home is a beautiful refuge. Things have been so hard, but I’m grateful we’ve gotten through it and are moving forward.

Alrighty, enough sap. Time for some new goals for a new quarter:

🙌🏼Goals October - December 2021:

Buy all Christmas gifts EARLY

Quarterly research/marketing goal

Same anon here, thank you!!! Do you have any specific worlbuilding in your story? Are you only playing with the disney princesses or do you have other disney characters mixed up? And I loved how you made this HUUUUGE plot twist with Cinderella! Are you doing the same with the next princesses? And about the side stories!! Are there more to come? I'm sorry if I'm being annoying, but I'm so loving all you do!!

My, these are important questions xD This is way too long to answer normally, so I'm writing all you want to know under the cut! I'm sorry, It is really long. I apologize in advance :')

If you have some spare time and are curious about this stuff of my legacy story, check this out. It my explain some things, hehe.

1. WORLDBUILDING

There is a "complex and connected" universe in this, yes, but I do not limit a story to the same sim world. I imagine certain game worlds as specific areas with their own social problems, forms of government and characteristic population. Still, I jump from world to world using specific lots or scenery places thay might complement the current chapters or, if I happen to need it, I'll rebuild the whole world again for upcoming generations if I'm already done with the previous ones.

For example:

In Snow White (the H.E.A. founder) the story developed in Windenburg and Windenburg only. Not even the whole world was used for the story, only three lots (The White Manor, Eis' cottage and the flower shop).

Cinderella and The Princess and The Frog develop in Willow Creek, but it's not the same Willow Creek. The only permanent lots are the royal palace and a couple of residential lots (the Tremaine and Bonfamille manors), but I redesigned the whole world for each arc. Ella's story took place in a more high-class victorian part of the kingdom, and Tiana's will be in a New Orlean-ish, humble zone with some vip spots. The townies are different and the social situation changes as well. I'll be also using specific locations from Windenburg, implying those scenes are still having place in some other unknown part of Willow Creek.

In some upcoming generations, I'm merging worlds into a whole area. In Rapunzel and The Beauty and The Beast, Glimmerbrook, Granite Falls and Henford-On-Bagley, as well as specific Windenburg areas, share the same territory.

This is a bit confusing, but it works for me :'D So far, this is how I've organized the story world in the save (mild spoilers):

Willow Creek + Magnolia Promenade: Kingdom ruled by a strong monarchy. Population: Humans and Hybrids** Connections with: Britechester, Newcrest.

Oasis Springs + Strangerville: Emirate and local mayoralties. Population: Humans, spellcasters, undercover aliens. No near connections.

Brindleton Bay: Mayoralty. Population: Humans and Hybrids. Connections with: Henford-On-Bagley, San Myshuno (not that close, but reachable).

Mt. Komorebi: Parlamentarism. Isolated area of the mountains. Population: Humans. Connections with: Granite Falls (veeeery lightly).

San Myshuno + Del Sol Valley: Presidency and Mayoralty. Population: Humans and undercover occults (Gods**, Spellcasters, Hybrids). Connections: Newcrest.

Windenburg: Parlamentarism. Population: Humans, Hybrids, Vampires. Connections with: Henford-On-Bagley, Glimmerbrook, Granite Falls.

Sulani: Principality and local chiefdoms. Population: Humans, Mermaids, Gods. No near connections.

Forgotten Hollow: Mayoralty. Population: Vampires and Spellcasters. No near connections.

Selvadorada: Republic. Population: Humans, Hybrids and Spellcasters. No near connections.

Evergreen Harbor: Mayoralty. Population: Humans, undercover aliens, cyborgs. Connections with: San Myshuno. If there is ever a future-like pack, it will be related to this area.

Britechester: Grand Duchy. Population: Humans. Connections with: Willow Creek, Windenburg.

2. CHARACTERS

I will mainly play with the "princesses", yes! I'm following these Disney Legacy Challenge rules as a main guideline, so the heirs are related to that. Even so, they won't always have the same looks or gender like the cartoon ones, nor the spouses. Since I'm a nerd, I try to surround the heirs with familiar characters from their stories, but they might be ooc or don't have the same role as they do in the movies. I just want to create the vibes, but give them my own twist!

I thought it would be fun to create a Disney movie themed save for this challenge, and I'm stil adding recreations of a lot of characters thay may fit in the world. Since I really enjoy rotational gameplay, I thought it would be fun to create mini challenges for certain households and play them aside from the main legacy to have a little change and relax. Buuuuuuuuut every single time I play this game a story pops up in my head, and yes, so far there is one side story with some of the minor characters. I'm afraid my save has turned into a graphic feverdream disney fanfiction, but here we are :'D It is important to say I also play with the EA premade townies, so this is a weeeeirddd mashup :')

Since I have the characters roaming around freely, they also interact with the main legacy and, in some cases, they even gain some importance. In Cinderella's case, I never planned Mr. La Bouff to become Ella's friend. My original plan was to have Tia and Lottie meet at university. Also! I created two fake occults: the Hybrids (think of were!Sims. Like Werecats, Werefishes, Werewolves, Werebirds... you get the idea... it'll be properly explained in the future. No, they don't turn into animals.) and the Gods (squish vampires, mermaids and spellcasters together. Now make them OP and immortal).

So far, I've included characters from:

The Aristocats, Finding Nemo, Peter Pan, 101 Dalmatians, Tarzan, Robin Hood, Alice in Wonderland, Coco, Pinocchio, Big Hero 6, Lilo & Stitch, Hocus Pocus, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Jungle Book, Toy Story, Cars, The Emperor's New Groove, Atlantis.

I had the intention of presenting them all and giving them out for download. I've been slowly makeovering them, so I hope I can manage to do so in the near future.

3. STORYTELLING

The plot twist was kind of a happy accident xD It wasn't planed at all! It's just I find it not-that-exciting to retell the same old story again and again. Cinderella is poor and mistreated, but then marries the prince and she's happy. We all know that, right? I don't intend to follow the same path... I need chaos to keep me entertained in my own game xD that's why I went like "welll.... what IF the prince is a bit of an ass?" I didn't see the whole load of drama that would come.

In the upcoming chapters, things are being similar. I don't say everything is going to be bittersweet, but I'll take elements from the main story and shape them differently. I'm taking a lot of creative liberties here!

4. SIDE STORIES

Im so glad you like them!! I get attached to my characters as soon as I start playing with them and can't help myself from giving them a story, even a little one. It's like... they're in my save for a reason, right? Not only as townie fillers, even if that was the main purpose in the beginning. It's safe to say there is one WIP side story with the Tremaine descendants involving some of the characters I mentioned before. I have another one in mind, but since it is not related with the main legacy at all I'm still not sure how to include it... but I'm working on it.

You can bet I'll keep telling these silly little stories because I really can't help it, hehe.

Thank you so much for asking! I'm really sorry for writing a lot, I hope this is what you were looking for!! And I'm so glad to have you as a reader ^^
