[cosmicallymundane]

my sims dog doesnt like the guy im trying to set my sim up with 😭 but the dog really likes the other guy i originally only wanted her to be best friends with — who not to mention was MARRIED up until his wife suddenly died? and they got really close afterwards and BOOM a random pink bar showed up and the best friend just always shows up to her house now and ADORES the dogs my sims have.

OMG OMG OMG YOU HAVE A FS DR??? I SAW I COULD ASK U SOME QUESTIONS SO I RAN TO YOUR INBOX

who are you?? when is it??? any particular competition it is based on (I often see people do it with 22 beijing)?? what jumps do you have??? any ultra c elements (3A, quads)??? if you have one, who's your s/o??? what why who where when aaaa another fs shifter!!

xx kat (@xelsmultiverse)

hiii omg thanks so much for asking this <3

okk so just quick disclaimer beforehand, i dont know shit about figure skating except the very very basics (like what type of jumps and stuff) so if smth is incorrect or doesnt make sense its bcs of that haha also as always im hopelessly overpowered :D

In my dr im a figure skater from Germany, i was born in early 2007 and did ballet from when i was like 3 (thats canon btw i did that in my cr too haha) but then quickly got impatient and kinda bored with it (also canon, i regret stopping tho) and my parents put me into figure skating and gymnastics instead. since in my hometown there isnt really a big figure skating team (there is one but its not good ngl) i scripted that my now coach saw me by coincidence and decided i had talent and she wanted to coach me. I can do more on my coach if you guys want to btw its kinda a whole (unfinished) story (shes an oc).

So then she started coaching me in 2014, after a lot of convincing from me towards my parents cos they didnt actually want me to become a professional skater cos its obviously not the healthiest thing to do but after I saw Yulia at the 2014 Olympics I begged my parents to let me get private lessons until they gave in (yulia is kinda my role model and i wanna be like her)

I have an unfinished list of my senior competitions here (for the sake of plot i kinda made it so the covid restrictions on the 2020/21 season didnt happen for the junior competitions, only seniors, also kamila and i dont compete together before the olympic season) and yes ofc i win everything bcs as i said op af (also i know some of the competitions overlap so idk how im gonna do that yet, if anyone has an idea pls feel free to tell me haha)

for jumps i have all quads (yes including 4A cos im just that good lmao) and im playing with the idea (actually i put it already but its prolly impossible so im unsure if i should put it) of scripting i have a quintuple jump as well at some point.

Im really not knowledgeable on different spins i just scripted theyre centered and i dont have a lot of movement on the ice during them idk if thats how you say it but like i spin in one place and dont move to the left or right a ton

Then like some stuff that goes without saying, i have good technique, i dont get hurt badly, i dont have any long term problems from professional skating, stuff like that

My s/o is ilia malinin but since hes born in 2004 we dont get together for a while. We meet either at a competition or during my exchange year in the us in 2024 (my host family lives in the same state he does and we train at the same rink while im there) and then like slowburn friends to lovers pining everyone-knows-except-them kinda stuff (i really do love torturing myself in that aspect apparently)

Some other stuff i can think of rn is that my nickname is 'golden girl' or 'germanys golden girl' idk just smth i came up with (if you have any other ideas pls tell me haha unfortunately im uncreative af when it comes to stuff like that)

also you mightve noticed im technically too young to do senior competitions in time for beijing but i just decided to script that they make an exception for me for some reason haha

I can speak 4 languages, German, English, Russian (bcs of my coach) and Spanish

I get along kinda good (as well as you can as competitiors) with the Eteri Girls bcs we're similar age and my coach gets on kinda well with Eteri (they used to compete together except my coach is actually nice) and also i yk speak russian

oh also when i first get there its january 2022 so right before the olympics cos i wanna experience that not just in memory

soo yeah thats all i can think of for now again sorry for any inaccuracies or anything (wont apologize for op-ing myself cos thats what shifting is for after all ;) )

Supercorp FicRec P. 29

The next part in my ongoing ficrec series. I go through my bookmarks on AO3 and select the ones I like the best and add a little commentary on why. 5 fics per part. 

Masterpost

we're playing to a full house, darling (but this show can't go on) by the_ominous_owl

Kara’s struggling to find work. Lena’s struggling to find herself. When fate (with some help from Cat Grant) casts them into the same orbit they find themselves completely off-script, because while everyone knows about the sins of the father, they're somewhat less clear about the sins of one’s siblings. Throw into that an audience hungry for stories at the expense of fact, a showrunner with a plan nobody saw coming, and a co-star who steadfastly refuses to keep it in his pants, and you’ve got a tale so dramatic even the protagonists have noticed. or the one where they’re both actresses with a surprising amount of baggage for two people who haven’t met yet.

w: 37,360

r: teen and up

The actress trope done very, very well. Slowburn. Lena's got it so very bad but shes got baggage. Kara is captain oblivious. They figure it out tho. Lots of intimacy and feelings. There's a part two bt that ones still a wip.

It's Funny Right up Until It's Not by ThornedRose44

It's funny because it's harmless… It's funny because it's never a big deal… It's funny because it's forgotten by the next day… It's funny because she's fine. She's always fine… Until… she’s not...

Yea so this one cut deep. Happy ending but were digging into the "haha quarterly assassination lol" witch is really not funny at all. Angst but so so heartfelt and wonderful. Some-when after S5.

musings from 504 by sapphic_luthor

“We got Supergirl’s mail again,” a voice calls from behind a massive, unidentifiable sculpture as it steps through the door. He sets the piece down just as the words leave his mouth, and then the dark-haired boy spins to face you, hand outstretched to drop a letter onto the countertop, and he breathes, “Oh, fuck.” You look toward your new roommates, and register the panic on their faces. “Wait,” you say, but your mind is jumping to conclusions that your mouth is far too embarrassed to vocalize, so you find that you don’t have any follow-up. “Are you--” you start, but you know it’s true even before you ask. “Seriously?”

r: teen and up

So how much do we all think Kara's neighbors know about her life? An outsiders perspective on the Superfriends. Funny and fun and heartfelt.

Bizarre Love Triangle by powergrapes

One day, two women meet on the subway. The recently dumped Lena is recovering from a broken heart, and Kara is grappling with the open-ish relationship she has with her long-distance boyfriend. They decide that they’re going to become friends. The kind of friends who also have totally casual, no-strings-attached, nobody’s-catching-feelings sex. What could go wrong? As Alex puts it: “Kara. This is the dumbest thing you’ve ever done. And I’m including the time that you set fire to your own hair and nearly burned the house down trying to do some spell you found on MySpace to make Troy Bolton materialize in real life and marry you.” Or: Lena and Kara go around New York City eating food and banging each other until their feelings eat away at them, and Alex tries not to have an aneurysm about it.

r: explicit

So so so well written. Gets pretty angsty but the payoff is so worth it. Lots of feelings and fun and fluff too. And very VERY good smut. A MUST read!

The Luthor Family by MyCatIsMyEditor

Following Lex’s death Lena finds herself guardian to the four year old nephew she never knew existed. She also finds herself in need of help. Who better to help her than her best friend and National City’s favourite Kryptonian. It’s just a little awkward that her nephew is scared of Supergirl. OR Kara and Lena raising Lex’s son while slowly getting together with a bunch of cute fluff and some angst thrown in as they work together to be the best parents possible to a scared little boy.

w: 95,676

r: mature

Digs a lot into the issues with fostering a child who was neglected and abused. But its very well done and there's a lot of fluff too. Kara and Lena slip into the parent role very well. But of course this whoe situation digs up issues of theirs too. They build a wonderful family and support net and finally get to be so so happy with everyone at their side.

Don't forget to leave some love for the writers on AO3! Much love and happy reading!

Des, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Thank you for not only drawing this lovely fanart, but also for the sweet and kind words!!! It really means so much to me and makes me so happy!!! 🥹 166k words later and yes, we finally see one of them mention a hug! I've been waiting for this for months!! !! I truly hope that when it comes to it, that you and everyone else enjoy the moment the way I have it planned as of right now!! It's definitely going to be emotional :) I can already see myself crying over it!

Miguel over welcoming us, hehe!! I just love how welcoming and sweet he is!! He really wants to support and be there for us, and make sure we're comfortable!! And AHJH the way he knows us so well (crying about this)!! Miguel just cares so much 🥺 and right? THIS MAN!!!! I LOVE HIM!! Okay, when the hug is mentioned - I was just like, this is the perfect moment because there's no control over what's been said in such a moment after such a surge of adrenaline and the exhaustion and sleep hitting. I'm honestly more than happy with this scene because of what it opens up!!!! It's out now and Miguel knows for sure now, and it got him thinking. The revelation just added more fuel because he's already been thinking about physical touch since Thanksgiving, so this moment is encouraging him. Miguel is definitely opening more to the idea!! Oh, and the wording of this sentence - "it's an honor to know you wanna embrace…" - definitely intentional! I just wanted to emphasize how much it means to Miguel to have us in his life, to be "worthy" of such gesture by us (he's more than worthy of it but you know he has his moments in this fic) 😭 Haha, I hope I'm not testing your patience, or other readers', with this fic and how it's slowly leading to an even more intimate relationship. I know slowburn can be painful sometimes, but one of my goals with this fic has always been to respect Miguel's trauma and story, to (hopefully) shed more light on a side of him we don't get to see much in ATSV, and to allow him time to reflect, heal, and learn to move forward after everything he has lived through. I hope I'm doing it and Miguel justice because I love Miguel, and this is just me manifesting BTSV gives him justice and treats him well :) But on a lighter side, believe me, sometimes I'm just like "AHHH, JUST HUG ALREADY," but then I calm myself down because there's also the slowburn that I really like, so I'm constantly going back and forth 😂 Aww, I'm so happy that this fic can make you smile sometimes!! I'm glad because I know some of the topics in the fic can be hard to read, but I'm always so happy to write scenes with lighter topics/moments, and of course those cute and sweet moments with Miguel!! Thank you!! The pinky hug, omg!!! I always call it the pinky squeeze but I love how you call it the pinky hug, it sounds so much cuter!!! 🥹 It's one of my fav things about this fic!! It makes me so happy when I get to include it (hint, hint, part 13 will have one, too, since the premise of it will need it). But THANK YOU OMG!!! You saying it's top tier writing, even tho it's such a small gesture and so platonic yet intimate - my heart!!!! Thank you again!!! ❤️ And yes, you're absolutely right, it's very small but such a big step for both Miguel, and the relationship!! I'm so so happy that so many readers love this little gesture 🥹

But let me talk about the fanart itself!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!! ❤️❤️ His face expression omg, mans is really thinking and considering physical touch!! I'm just so happy he's at this point in the story, for real!! He's made so much progress! But I love how much emotion there is on his face in this fanart!! I really want to just reassure him and tell him it's okay, and there's nothing to worry about!! Okay, and tell me if I'm just making this up, but is that a little "♥︎?" because !!!!! Yes!!!!! And the way he's holding his hand 🥺 probably thinking about what it would be like to be far more open to touch!! I truly do love this fanart so much!!!!

Des, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! It means so much to me 🥺❤️ I truly appreciate it so much and it's always a delight when I see your fanart for Nonviolent Communication (and other fanart on my feed, which always inspires me to draw as someone who is beginning to learn)!!!! I also want to thank you again for the sweet words!! You made my day!!! ❤️

P.S. The timing of this was perfect because just yesterday I was working on part 13 and I included a little something you mentioned a while back, so I'm making it canon in the fic! I really hope you like it once you read it!!! 😌 I'll be giving you a shoutout for it once it's posted but I'll go ahead and say thank you for the idea because it really is so sweet and cute!!!

THANK YOU, DES!!!!! I also hope you're doing well and that you have an amazing start to your week!!! <3333

Nonviolent Communication Fanart: Chapter 12

THIS IS STRAIGHT BABBLE BECAUSE ITS 3 AM. but GREEM GREEN GREEN

sweet. maRy and joseph. 166k words later, we got to the MENTION of a hug. WHAT A DOOZY.

the contemplation, the beautiful writing, well paced, and well balanced..nothing new but it still blows me away. i just know the hug will be so jarring once we get there swearrrrrrr. im kanwdjknawjndajkwn

staying at his plaaceee ianwkdnawd THE WAY HE OVERWELCOMES US AND HOW MUCH HE ACTUALLY WANTS US TO STAYYYY <33333 MAANNNNANWD this mannnnnnn AND HE KNOWS US SO WELL IM DONE

when we mentioned how much we wanted to hug him in a sleep daze (which is so real because i say loads of stupid stuff when im like a blink away from passing out) i was at the edge of my seat like oh SHIT he knows. cats out the bag. and the way things are worded? like "it's an honor to know you wanna embrace" stopstpooawmdadn <33333 HONOR? MAKING ME FEEL LIKE A MILLION DOLLAS.

the amount of times ive been trying to build patience for this story because omg OMG PLEASEE HUG AUGHAHWDJN thats why i have so much respect towards the amount of will you have to carry out these long chapters. like i dont read often, but since ive found this fanfic, this oughta have been the most i've ever read in yeaarrrss. its so captivating like what. i know i mention your patience a lot but FR.

so much of the things mentioned.. it has so much meaning that makes me cheese so hard till my cheeks hurt like,, the smile i get would send me straight to arhkam asylum. certain actions or dialogue is noted later on and thats really nice because it gives it soul and not words to get the story to be longer. its absolutely amazing.

also how the HELL... did you manage to make a simple pinkie hug turn out to be the most platonically intimate thing??? that is top tier writing. it may be small but that is a STEP STEP. LIKE A BIG STEP. BIG STEPPA.

im so excited for future chapterss uhhawhdjawn your stories make me do a dance omggknkanwd

UR AMAZNG @greensagephase !!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!11!!
