Golden Analyzes 2001 Nominees “Monsters Inc.”

*Have Seen Prior*

So there’s gonna be a lot of Pixar movies. That’s because the studio is basically the Oscar’s pet.

But if I said some of their movies didn’t deserve nominations, I’d be lying.

It’s really crazy how this didn’t start off as the Pixar award until 2003.

In terms of how I feel about the over-obsession… eh, I’m pretty indifferent to it. I don’t really care.

Like I said, I’m not reviewing these based on who made them. Because… some groups have higher standards than others. Even if you don’t think that plays a factor in judgement, there’s a thing as a subconscious.

Anyway, this movie.

I’ve seen it prior to this viewing. So has my GF. We’ve all seen this movie. If you haven’t… what are you doing?

I remember distinctly that I was scared of this movie as a Kindergartener. And believe it or not, one of the reasons I was scared of it was NOT Randall.

I was scared of the George torture, I was scared of the half bodied simulation human, I was scared of the scream extractor scene, mostly stupid sh*t to be scared of.

I remember that it was movie night in Kindergarten and we had to vote a movie to watch. Monsters Inc won the vote and I was UPSET.

Obviously now that I’m older I can watch this movie no problem and say that it is a great movie. But I think we all know that already.

It’s just never been one of my favorite Pixar movies personally. Not through any fault of its own, but because I was just more emotionally affected by other movies in their catalogue.

There’s an objective way to look at media, and there’s subjective ways to look at media. SO YOU KNOW, objectively I think this is one of the best structurally put together Pixar Movies and deserves to be called one of the best. Subjectively it’s just not one of my favorites, even if it is good and I enjoy it.

Cool? Cool.

And while we’re at it, Monsters University is a movie that wasn’t nominated, so I won’t be reviewing that, but if you’re interested in my thoughts on it, it’s a movie I feel is far more suited for adults than kids. It’s a movie that didn’t click with me until years later, and when it did, it clicked HARD. (As a college student myself) It’s a great prequel. Has a message everyone needs to hear. But I feel like its story structure was significantly weaker than Inc’s, and I think they should’ve stuck with the plotless slice of life story they presented in the first act. But what do I know?

Then there’s Monsters At Work. Which I have not seen and have no interest in seeing. But… it exists, I guess.

Anyway, funny reactions from us and reviews.

Reaction Quotes:

(Bold is my GF’s Words)

“I think it’s gonna be a trend for me to read the descriptions. ‘A little girl named Boo wanders into the world of monsters.’ 1, I’m pretty sure her name isn’t actually Boo that’s just a nickname they gave her cause she doesn’t talk, and 2, that description makes it sound like Boo is the main character of the movie. 😂” “Yeah.” “That’s hilarious to me.”

“I remember in Toy Story… remember that scene with the toilet seat that had the fur, just like… just like Sulley’s fur…” “Yeah…. Sulley died. RIP.”

(WHY CAN’T ANY STREAMING SERVICE GET MOVIE DESCRIPTIONS RIGHT?)

“RIP the M. It fought so hard.”

“Are you gonna get scared?” “What?”

“The parents never hear any of this screaming. Or they do but they’re like “Gosh, our son is having a rough puberty””

“Make it a big deal about there being a scream shortage, there’s your screams right there.”

*Can anyone tell me mister Byle’s big mistake?* “You rearranged the room cause those drawings and those tack things weren’t there before.” “You were scared of your own shadow.” “I know what the answer is but honestly, out of context, it’s the least of your mistakes.”

*It could let in a draft?* “A draft…?” (AnalyzGolden.exe has stopped working) “What’s a draft?” (STUPID) “A gust of wind.” “Human air gets in? It’s the apocalypse.”

“That’s dedication if you're waking up 6 AM to practice your job before you do it. I would never wake up that early to practice bagging before I go to work.”

“That seems pointless to push all that furniture around just to put it all back again.”

“They blocked him off. But you know what? He was still on TV. That’s a win!”

(Considering MU’s context, that joke hits even harder for Mike as someone who was told all the time he wouldn’t find success, so getting on TV alone would satisfy him even if the industry screws him over)

“Playing jumprope with your tongue… YEP.”

“Eating trash… YEP.”

“Sneezing fire on the newspaper… no. Just no. That’s a crime. I can’t even.” /s

“The pumpkins are $5000” (I noticed when she says that) “Forget a power shortage, how are these monsters not living on the streets?”

“They sell Blood Oranges. Mangle Fruit. Spleen… something.”

“That monster DIED. The drain is a casualty.” “How are his teeth and eyeballs not attached to his body?”

“There’s ANOTHER giant chicken monster?!” (Jimmy Neutron also had one) “If there’s one in Shrek, then that’s why these movies were nominated. They all have giant chicken monsters.” “That’s a huge coincidence.”

“‘Stalk’. Oh, cause they’re predators.”

“Oh that lobby is beautiful. And all the different designs walking around-“ “It looks like an airport.”

“Mike is cropped out in a lot of those pictures. He gets screwed by the industry so hard.”

“Why are there four clocks with different times?” (Me and a family member explain to her the different times on the globe) “It really is an airport.”

“Either she has snakes for hair, or she’s bald and snakes live on her head.” “😳Ew…”

*It scares little kids and little monsters* “Is that the equivalent of monster racism?”

“Why is he the janitor?!” “It’s his first day on the job. He’ll be fired immediately.”

“‘Baby born with five heads, parents thrilled’ I would be screaming in terror.” “Troll Attacks. There’s trolls in this world. Fur Replacement, with THAT hairstyle? Gain 10000 pounds, scare your neighbors.” “If you gain 10000 pounds, you’re DEAD.”

“You know why Roz is scary? You meet her at work everyday.”

“‘It’s my way or the high way’. I love that. 😂.” “That says Roz as a character perfectly.”

“I can’t watch that anymore because I’ve seen a blooper where it’s just them falling over. That’s all I see now.”

“That last one seems very tedious. Having to put on your eyeballs every time? Why would you even need to take them off in the first place?” “Maybe they’re contacts.”

“The furball’s name is Luckey. That’s awesome. Rivera, Peterson, Jones, Sanderson, Plesuski… Sus. Schmidt, Pauley, Ward, and Gerson. Gerson is WAY behind the others, I’m worried for his career.”

“I wish I had that many fingers.”

“The tape they put on that door says ‘VOID’. This really is the exit door in Digital Circus.”

(I WILL MAKE DIGITAL CIRCUS JOKES TILL I DIE)

*Nevermind* “Nevermind-😂” “😂” “‘Something revolutionary has happened-nevermind.’”

“2319 is the numbers of the alphabet. So they’re actually saying ‘WS.’ ‘White Sock.’ ‘White sock! We have a white sock!’”

“Is the CDA the FBI in their world?”

“All this for a sock?! They got the whole country’s CDA for a SOCK.”

“Noooo George! Noooooooooooooo”

(Justice for George)

“‘Odorant’. I love that.”

“What did I say? Roz is someone you meet everyday. They always come out of nowhere to ruin your plans with paperwork.”

“No- well, actually, you wouldn’t want to abandon your monster pal if they were in there. So okay…”

“Sorry. Child hater. I’m with Sully on this.”

“That’s how I would react to a child that close. I’d say hi then run for the hills. *Sibling name* said ‘you’re never having kids!’” “Good! Don’t want any!” “Exactly.”

“Get rid of the evidence of the crime.”

“HOW DO YOU NOT NOTICE?!” *Three seconds later* “Now he did.”

“‘I’m a cigarette’?! What?!” “Cigarette?” “I heard her say ‘I’m a cigarette.’” “She said ‘I’m Tiger.’” “No, I heard cigarette. Why is that kid saying cigarette? I’m concerned about her home life.”

(REWINDED IT)

“Tiger…ette? What’d she say?” “I still heard cigarette.”

“That cook has a cut tentacle.” “He has eight of them, he’s fine.”

“What’s the age gap implied here?” “Not sure… it’s been my headcanon that in the prequel movie these characters are in their early 20s, and in this movie their late 20s, early 30s, somewhere in that age group… in human age range, idk if it’s different for monsters.”

“‘I was thinking of killing my snakes. You know?’”

*I said… Sulley?* “😂” “😂” “And then they were roommates.” “😂😂😂😂”

(I was actually crying from laughter for about five minutes)

“😂I’m sorry… that had NO RIGHT being as funny as that was…” 😂

“This is like if there was a shootout. Except the shooter brought a Bebe gun and it’s meant to be a joke. Take that one vine, but Boo is the gun, Sulley is the shooter and the monsters are the ones running away.”

youtube

(This is that vine)

“What is that shield? Did they summon the aliens what happened?!”

“This is how I would react to a kid in my home.”

“This is how it feels when I hear babies cry at work.”

“Oh the lights stopped flashing guess that apartment is not suspicious anymore. Like, I would still check it.”

“Yeah, spoons. You don’t have anything else?”

*No monster in here* “Uuuuhhh…” *Well now there is* “I was about to say”

“He just casually has bricks in his room” “Maybe it’s workout equipment. He said earlier he worked out at home.”

“I wish getting a kid to sleep was that instant.”

“‘I’m not gonna do that thing!’ Cuts to them doing the thing.”

“This kid’s got powers if she can slip away from them this easily.” “Maybe it’s to show how kids can slip away from you very easily.”

“Cousins sisters daughter… but a sister of a cousin would still be a cousin, so what does that look like on the family tree??”

“Sulley just became a predator. Movie ruined.”

“I felt that smash.”

“HOW DID YOU NOT SEE THEM?! The dude’s got three eyes and not one of them saw them?!”

“How much you wanna bet the other side of that door is a bar?”

*I get a time out?* “I mean… technically.”

*…painted?* “😂Oh my god… I thought you were the smart one! It’s not rocket science!”

*You talk to me like that again, we’re through!* “😂” “What?!” “Before Disney was shoving it down our throats, these two were their first queer rep.”

*Sulley thinking Boo is getting murdered by the trash room* “😂I’m sorry I can’t stop laughing…”

(Damn, you hate kids THAT much Past AnalyzGolden?)

“Boo laughs at Mike’s misery… ouch.”

*Mike gets kidnapped* “…I think it’s okay.”

“Is this inside the walls?” “I thought it was underground” “No cause we saw them go in… maybe it’s underground.”

*It’s Cretin if you’re gonna threaten me do it properly* “He’s not worried about getting kidnapped. ‘I’m not concerned about getting kidnapped, but if you’re gonna do it at least do it right’”

“‘Evil plot’. He acknowledges it’s evil. But he’s doing this anyway cause he cannot stand up for himself. Feel bad.”

“He’s dead. They left him for dead!” “Did they?” “He’s gasping for air, he’s shaking, his skin is pale, he collapsed on the ground, no one’s helping him, he’s DEAD. I don’t think we even see him again after this.”

(He’s there later in the movie. He, in fact, did not die.)

“Is that foreshadowing Ninjago?”

“Those snow cones were definitely made out of his pee.” “…I didn’t want to say it, but…” “Where would he get lemons in the cold like that?”

“YES GEORGE! YESSS! 👏🏻 Well deserved justice.”

*Oh…* “Oh NOW you realize?! Some friend you are. ‘I am DYING’ ‘Oh…’”

“Oh wow… that’s a spectacle of doors. Is there an exit door here?”

(STOP IT ANALYZGOLDEN)

“Nope. I would never go on this ride. I hate roller coasters.”

*Why couldn’t we get banished here?* “😂” “😂” “If you’re gonna banish us, at least banish us somewhere nice.”

“THAT’S what happens if you fall. SHATTERED. I felt that dread so hard…”😰

“No. I could never do that parkour. Nope.”

“He’s perfectly willing to murder Sulley. I just wanna point that out there.”

*Randall getting beat by a toddler* “😄That is so satisfying.”

“I mean, they were able to get back through the doors, so even if they smash this one, they’re not technically leaving Randall for dead.” “Yeah, but by the time he gets back… he will definitely be fired.”

“What’s the deadliest weapon known to mankind? 2319.”

“This is brilliant. Right here? That was actually a genius plan to defeat him.”

“And Roz is number 1. That reveal though 👏🏻 Icon.”

“It’s really funny that there’s a Nemo fish, because when this movie came out, Finding Nemo was not even out yet. This was foreshadowing their next movie.”

*And I don’t want to see any paperwork on this* “Character development.”

“It hits so much harder when you realize this was pretty much Mike’s dream. He did do it after all… not in the way he expected, but he did it.”

“Who is against Mike in the ad industry?! Someone has to explain themselves!”

“I actually love that they leave it vague. All up to interpretation.”

Review:

I don’t think I need to tell you that this movie is excellent.

Out of Pixar’s catalogue, this is probably one of their movies where they do pretty much everything they try to do right. As this is definitely up there as one of their best story structured movies.

Like, yeah, the opening scene of the movie doesn’t show the main characters. As all but Waternoose are irrelevant to the story, but that isn’t the point of the opening scene. The point there is to establish the stakes of this world they had created, and THEN show the main characters roles in this world.

Said world is very expertly established. Even without University, this movie feels like you’re transported into a living breathing world that could actually function.

And it’s all surrounded by a simple concept of “What if the monsters that come out of kids closets to scare them weren’t actually monsters?”

And then you build on that. Why would they even be scaring kids in the first place?

Because they need the screams to power their world.

And then what would that look like? How would they do that? And that’s how you set up the functionality of the company and every workers roles. You got the scarers, you got the workers that collect the screams and get the doors, you got the door shredders for doors that are useless to them, you got the paperwork filer, you got their worlds version of the FBI, and then you get a whole location that is constantly breathing in purpose where you understand how that works by just seeing the work get done.

And then you have the monster society itself. You can probably guess from the reactions segment my GF and I commented a lot on the little details on the scene where Mike and Sulley are walking to work. But that’s because the scene is so good at establishing that this is a monster world full of monsters.

There’s houses with certain sizes to fit certain monsters, there’s different doors in apartments for that reason, the fruits are named after human organs because that’s what monsters in our human myth head imagine them eating, walking is considered stalking without self awareness that we humans would have, kids are casually born with five heads, weight gain seems to be encouraged in this world, and so, so, so much more.

And this all background stuff. But it’s VERY important to get us immersed in this world and understand what the rules are and what’s going on.

In Jimmy Neutron, that movie takes place in our world. So they didn’t have to establish our world cause we already knew it. That movie just had to establish the main character and his place, and whatever not ‘our world’ was in the movie.

Monsters Inc had the far more challenging situation of choosing to create a world that was NOT ours. A world that was completely original. So they had to build all of these rules from scratch. World building is a much harder aspect of storytelling than you think, especially if the world is original.

That’s why you see a lot of people pointing out plot holes in movies with original worlds, because the world they created makes those plot holes. Even in good movies.

So Monsters Inc avoiding quite a few of these pitfalls is nothing short of writing competency.

And the movie takes place MOSTLY in just ONE location. The titular Monsters Inc.

We get two scenes with the apartment. We get one scene with the restaurant. And you could make an argument about the human world banishment segment. But that’s it. Otherwise the movie’s setting is that one location, and that one location is the crux of the story and what they needed to get right.

As a result we spend so much time in this factory and characters showing us how it works and functions. That I felt familiar with this factory as I would in my own work space. (Maybe even more so tbh.)

On top of that, you follow this world and this story through a duo of very likeable friends who get their world absolutely shattered by a toddler of all things.

No but seriously, in a studio that’s movie catalogue contains of an unlikely duo learning to get along, it’s odd that it didn’t start out that way. The only one that did at the time was the first Toy Story. And in this movie, you start off with their great friendship dynamic so you can actually challenge the friendship itself in the story.

Because yeah, when your reality of scarring children for life and those children bring toxic killers gets shattered when you realize you’re the real monster… some people are gonna have some opposing opinions on the matter. (Or, monsters I should say)

I’m gonna ignore University’s context for this analysis. Not because I think it’s not important but because I’m supposed to judge this movie alone. So keep that in mind.

Sulley is a figure at the top of the monster world. He’s the most reliable scarer in the industry that powers their entire world. He’s on his way to breaking an all time record for it. And that’s… basically his life and purpose. And it’s a good one in his mind to be fair. I mean what else is he supposed to do? (University context can be added there)

There’s a line early in the movie where Mike comments that theres more to life than scaring.

Which heavily implies that until Boo, the record was all Sulley really had going for him. Not to say he’s arrogant about it, maybe a bit prideful, he’s still a nice dude, but it is a shallow worldview if you only look at things one way.

And while Mike is more of a materialist than Sulley, and is far more passionate about the things he does (University context can also be added there), he at least has a life outside of the record goal. He has his own materialistic things, he relishes in recognition, he has a girlfriend he’s making plans for, and he’s working with his best friend in an industry where they’re on top. He has a pretty good life. A life so good in his eyes that he wouldn’t want to give that up.

But both of them are forced to when Boo shows up.

Now, I am not a fan of little, little kids, so bias against Boo is just a natural thing for me. BUT, just because I’m not relishing on how cute she is doesn’t mean I think she’s a bad character in any way. She serves her purpose as the MaGuffin well, she definitely acts like a real toddler would (mostly cause she’s voiced by an actual toddler), and she has her own character arc where she stands up for herself against her monster. Which is a very satisfying moment.

I also love the subtle non-told characterizations these characters have as well. Like Sulley’s naturally caring nature when he kindly greets the people around him at the start, gives Mike a cover so he can go on his date, and is the first to open up to Boo. Mike is the fairly logical one and mostly keeps a cynicism at poor attempts at overthrowing him, but when he is genuinely scared all that goes down the drain and his brain stops working. I’m just saying, it makes them feel far more real and I’m glad they don’t need to ‘tell’ us these things.

I love that we get two perspectives on this ordeal of a world safety law turning out to be a myth, and how two different characters would respond to that. One opens up to the idea of looking after the kid and becomes a father figure, which makes him break when he realizes he’s part of the problem with human children trauma. (That scene hurts.) The other is not into the idea at all and just wants to resolve it as soon as possible and go back to what things once were. So when Sulley says “None of that matters now”, it gears Mikes head and he challenges him on that. But I could see both of their points very clearly. I really could not pick a side there.

I would say Mike’s apology is a little rushed, but let’s be honest here, he wasn’t even thinking straight at that cave and would never ditch Sulley like that. You can tell when he looks back at the cave entrance after Sulley was given no choice but to leave him. That one look of immediately regretting what he said. The fact that he’d be able to turn around that quickly when his friendship is put in jeopardy is believable. At least to me.

Randall is also a good villain. I wasn’t scared of him, but I totally understand people who would be. The scariest of individuals are the ones who commit the scariest actions. And that is true with Randall.

Right from the start it’s obvious he’s a villain due to the work rival trope. But then you actually understand just how ruthless he is.

Everyone talks about how Waternoose felt bad about his actions towards Sulley and Mike, but Randall did not give a single shit. He tried to torture Mike despite not having a reason to. And when he had the opportunity to murder Sulley he took it with absolute glee.

He’s a slimey bastard who deserved his fate. Plain and simple.

But then you learn he’s NOT actually the main villain, but rather an accomplice to the mastermind.

Then there’s Waternoose. This guy is highly regarded as one of the best twist villains in media, and I get why.

The scene that sticks out to me is the line he says as he’s banishing Mike and Sulley. “It’s yours.”

That’s it. No gloating of his plan. No hesitation. Just a cold ruthless reveal and then banished.

It’s honestly such an affective reveal and I can’t get enough of it.

I’ve seen the movie before so I knew the context. The entire movie I was listening to his dialogue and looking for any contradictions… and I found none.

When writing a twist villain, it’s very easy to forget when the characters dialogue is supposed to have a double meaning. Get it wrong, and they look like two completely different characters.

Waternoose feels like the same character even after the reveal. He actually did care about Sulley, who was his best worker. That’s why he apologizes for the mess, he feels bad about having to take these actions.

But he takes these actions anyway because in his mind, the company is more important. (My GF actually pointed this out.) He sees the company above all else and can’t see flaw in his logic and moral of its for the company. Kidnapping and torturing children? Wrong. Obviously. But not in his brain.

I also love that the way he’s defeated is by his own hypocrisy exposing him through the heroes brain power getting it exposed. Genius plan. Very memorable villain defeat.

We all talk about villain deaths, why not just plain old defeats that don’t involve death? They’re just as good.

On top of those guys, this cast is PACKED with side characters you just remember and make this world feel absolutely alive.

My favorites being George, who deserved better, and his mini arc of being fed up with the myth’s BS was great to see unfold.

And Roz. The icon. HOW do you make a paperwork manager with like, four tiny scenes of screen time, THIS memorably creepy, funny, and iconic at the same time?!

I guess if there are any negatives I can point out are some minor ones. One that again, the snowman character kinda took me out of the banishment portion of the movie. Sulley and Mike just got BANISHED. They found out their boss is in on the whole thing, the kid is gone, and they’ve been banished from the world they know, literally. I’m not saying there shouldn’t have been any comedy in that segment of the movie, but his lines just did not land a laugh from me. And it kinda killed the tone of that segment. There’s also the trash room segment that kinda felt like panning out, as it added nothing to the story other than losing an eye of the costume. Which affected nothing. No one called it Sus that the kid lost an eye or anything.

But they’re pretty minor nitpicks.

Last thing I want to mention is the Pixar tearjerker scene. Out of Pixar tearjerker scenes, this one doesn’t hit be that hard. I’m gonna be honest. It didn’t get to me.

It’s still a very well done scene. It’s just a personal thing.

I also think that’s just because it was always gonna happen, as it was always the obvious end goal. They wanted her back home, they got her back home. The reason it’s sad is because they’ve bonded heavily along the way. Which is obviously sad. But I think other Pixar tearjerkers have hit me harder because they weren’t the obvious outcome. That or the character change was so heavily prevalent throughout the movie that there’s so much relatability to it.

But look at me as a child hater. I suck, I know.

Still an objectively great scene though.

Last thing I want to mention is the animation.

These movies were made in 2001. So these early Oscar nominated movies are going to look pretty rough.

But also, compared to the other two nominations, it’s EMBARRASSING that this movie objectively has animation that ages so much better.

A standout to me in terms of spectacle is the door coaster sequence which is so pleasant on the eyes. Especially when they start hopping from earth place to earth place.

On top of that it’s very smooth. I always love it when movies utilize color to express their style.

You may say that’s a kids movie thing to use color, but like, tell me with a straight face that these dark muted color palette and stone serious actor expressions in life action are objectively more interesting for the eyes.

There’s also them taking full advantage of character design here and being as creative as possible. Even in just background characters that get zero lines. They’re monsters. Why not use that?

It’s a great movie. Everyone knows it.

I’m still not interested in checking out the show, though.

And it PAINS ME to hear that the director of this movie is now claiming we need LESS of these types of movies because ‘they’re not profitable enough’.

I’m calling it right now, he was at gunpoint and forced to say that. (I have no evidence to back this up)

Let creative people be creative, dammit!

Anyway, that’s it for this movie. The last Oscar nomination of 2001 is the winner of this year, Shrek. Look forward to it.

EVENT : the debriefing of BARBARA MORSE, aka MOCKINGBIRD, in relation to abduction and time spent on skrull planet. SUBJECT : barbara 'bobbi' morse, phd. formerly known as agent nineteen. former shield special service, level seven. former reserve avenger. DEBRIEFING AGENT : agent lindsay wheeler, level seven. DATE : october first, two thousand and fifteen, 09:15 hours. LOCATION : classified.

WHEELER : thank you for joining us, miss morse. i'd like to start by — MORSE : doctor. WHEELER : excuse me? MORSE : my title is doctor.

[ wheeler's hand tightens a bit. bobbi doesn't watch her much, just stares directly over wheeler's shoulder, straight into the security camera on the other side of the room. she's in a fishbowl in here, feels eyes on her from all sides. she has felt this way for three years — it no longer makes her want to crawl out of her skin, but she can't say the feeling is comfortable, by any means. ]

WHEELER : doctor morse. excuse me. i'd like to start by asking if you know why they chose you. MORSE : i'd like to first confirm that barton is not, and will not be privy to this debriefing. WHEELER : that's none of your— MORSE : i wasn't asking, and even if i were, i'm not asking you. i am informing the director that he is either removed, or i walk.

[ wheeler opens her mouth to respond, but then leans into her earpiece. bobbi waits for a long twenty seconds, visibly fighting the urge to leave, and looks into the camera until wheeler nods. ]

WHEELER : barton has been removed from the room, and will not be able to access this debriefing later. why did they pick you? MORSE : i was easy to replace. i have no powers. in the grand scheme of superhero work, i'm an easy trial run. WHEELER : your file spells out a good record with high marks. MORSE : i'm a great spy. that's why i'm still here. but their priority isn't spies. it's superheroes. if they can figure out how to replace the superheroes with powers — what good is a nine millimeter against a skrull thor? WHEELER : understood. let's start at the beginning. MORSE : it was april twelfth, two thousand and twelve. WHEELER : we have you listed as flying into los angeles from new york. MORSE : i was in the restroom in the c terminal at dallas international. i think they were disguised as facilities staff. WHEELER : you think? MORSE : i was knocked out, and woke up in a simulation of the west coast avengers' mansion. i can't tell you anything about the in between. WHEELER : so, bobbi morse leaves new york— MORSE : h'rpra shows up in los angeles, dies two weeks later. WHEELER : . . . h'rpra? MORSE : that was her — it's name. the one that replaced me.

[ bobbi looks down at her hands on the table. they are both her hands and not her hands. ]

WHEELER : what happened when you woke up? MORSE : i was in los angeles, in the mansion. or it was a replica. barton was there, he was making burgers. but you know that feeling where — where something's just not right? everything felt a little too calculated, a little too perfect, and barton — he looked at me like he was happy to see me, but that wasn't right. we'd been arguing so much for months on end, being near each other in any capacity was draining. we were exhausted of each other. i'd told him three three weeks prior that i wanted a divorce, and he was fine ith it. he shouldn't have been happy to see me. WHEELER : and then what happened? MORSE : i stabbed him in the neck with a skewer and ran. broke through a window and found myself in a skrull facility. he was chasing me. he thought it was fun, that i was running. it was a game to him, one that went on for the entire time i was there. WHEELER : did he have a name?

[ bobbi shifts, uncomfortably. the urge to crawl out of her own skin returns. ]

MORSE : i only knew him as clint barton for the first two and a half years. that's all he called himself. that's all anyone called him. he knew what clint meant to me, and he knew — no matter where i was, no matter what i was doing, making clint into the face of the thing trying to destroy me would haunt me. but there was one time — i'd broken into a house. there was a pair sleeping in there, and i killed them both, and i took food and clothes, but he was waiting for me.

I ranted a shit ton so summery: Updates are supposed to be free, fuck corps, yo ho ho, use that cash to support smaller groups and individual artists and the people actually working on the games you enjoy, and basic needs should be free btw.

I put my rant under the cut so I don’t accidentally eat someone’s dash

I got really into Cult of The Lamb last month and an update recently came out. Before it came out I kept seeing people asking “how much will it cost”Like bestie, it’s an UPDATE. Updates are supposed to be free. If it’s not it’s dlc. I saw articles talking about how “crazy” it is that they’re giving us a “free update” like updates are supposed to be free! What world are you all from!!?? What games, what companies have done this to you!?!? Who tricked you into thinking dlcs and updates are the same?!?! Who is making you pay for everything??!! I was talking to my mom the other day and she plays the sims 4. She hasn’t been able to play for a year so now there’s a ton of packs and stuff. She was agonizing over what she wanted because “I already see over a hundred dollars of stuff I want!”. I have all the sims 4 content. You know why? I don’t respect EA. The internet is a marvelous thing with some smart people. People who also don’t respect EA. I’m not necessarily saying we should all become pirates but when companies get stupid and expect people to pay for stuff that should be pretty basic like seasons in a fucking life simulator I stop caring. I haven’t bought shit for the sims but I have payed for all the cosmetic packs in Cult of The Lamb. It’s almost like when you do good with your thing and don’t make basic shit and set it for 30 bucks people actually respect you. I’ve seen lots of other people say they’ve also bought all the packs for Cult of Them Lamb even if they don’t use them. Why? They like the game and the creators and want to support them. Hey, while I’m talking about piracy I’m gonna mention the bullshitery that is streaming services. I’m not fucking paying for three subscriptions to watch My Little Pony but you know what I will do? Find it online. Maybe if the whole show was in one spot I wouldn’t have turned to pirates. Maybe if companies didn’t try to get every penny from me I’d give them a few dollars. Maybe I respect smaller groups and individuals more than companies because I’ve personally seen them have a better track record with morality. Maybe it’s just that companies aren’t people and I don’t humanize them but I will do so with small teams. Idk, capitalism sucks the joy out of live and everyone deserves food, shelter, water, clothes, healthcare, and to fucking live. I wouldn’t be so mad about dumb ass prices on fun things if the things people literally need to live weren’t so damn expensive. Call me crazy but I don’t think things people will die without should have a price on them.

it really is unbelievable that gamers aren't the most anticapitalist demographic ever. like imagine if mobile game devs had their needs met and could make actual videogames instead of brainless filler between ads for other games that are also brainless filler between ads. imagine if games didn't need to be shoved out the door a year before they're ready filled with microtransactions because shareholders wanna see a line go up. imagine if studios were owned and run by the people making the games and not business bros who have never touched a videogame. how is this not an automatically won battle

My Deal

When I was growing up, the Internet was this place of absolute anonymity. You could write about anything and everything, and as long as you didn't let anything slip about your real name, no one would ever know.

It isn't that way anymore. Everything is tied to your real name, which is fine when you live in a democratic society with a respect for privacy and a dedication to the rule of law.

That is becoming less and less like the America I grew up in every day. Which is fine. Things change. Life changes. Society changes.

The problem with these changes is that we're running headlong into fascism.

So...who am I? What is a shaman? Why do I believe that I am one? And why am I writing a blog instead of chanting alone in the woods somewhere?

These are questions that we're going to come to answers about together.

As a child, I was indoctrinated by evangelical christianity because that's the faith my parents had. During my teen years, I was told over and over that I had been chosen to be a healer. At the time I pictured Benny Hinn style services.

I believe in my faith whole-heartedly. It meant the world to me. I fully embraced Christianity and Jesus as the way to live life.

Then over the next couple of decades I began to see that all of their lovely words were simply lies. Everything was an excuse to discriminate.

The final straw for me was realizing that every time I heard "God" speak to me and tell me to do something, I failed. If I had never truly heard from God over decades of faith, then the odds were good that he simply didn't exist, and I had been conned.

So I discarded Christianity. I grieved for what I had lost. But I moved on to the only thing I had evidence for, which was atheism.

I met a woman. I got married. A few years passed, and then we got divorced.

In the aftermath of the divorce, I began to have a mental health crisis. I began to hear things. Thoughts. Ideas about reality. Ideas about the roles that people like me were meant to play in human society.

I started seeing repeating numbers everywhere. Synchronicities began to occur. I thought I was losing my mind.

Eventually I began to see that I wasn't crazy. I still understood and valued the role of logic. I began to be able to understand the difference between random things my brain came up with and receiving messages from...somewhere.

The things I started hearing began to make a little more sense. Even though I didn't (and don't) understand what I was hearing, I decided not to dismiss them out of hand.

I've been told that I am a shaman. It's taken time to come to terms with this idea. It resonates. I do need training, and I'll seek it out when the time is right.

I have been feeling my way into manifestation and spellcasting. I've seen some success with manifestation, but the logical side of me wants to test it more before I really believe it.

My problem with all of this mystical stuff is that there's so much bullshit. If spirituality is real, and humans can interact with other dimensions of reality, why can't we prove it? Why is it when you ask a spiritual leader a question, they usually tell you not to think too hard?

The answer I've come to is that while there are real spiritual leaders out there, there are also a hell of a lot of grifters. When you find a grifter, you need to run in the opposite direction. Or call them out.

The blog you're reading is going to be where I work out the ideas I've been wrestling with. Once I feel like they're in good enough shape for the wider world, I'll publish them on my spirituality blog, Church of the First Simulation.

In addition to being told that I'm a shaman, I've been hearing from deities. Aphrodite, first, and then Odin. This doesn't feel logically consistent at all. Shamanism is from different cultures altogether than the ones that produced Aphrodite and Odin.

However, I'm working to be okay with an impartial, incorrect form of knowing. I don't know where things are going, and I need to be okay with that.

Week 41

So much work! When I started this project almost a year ago, I knew it'd be a ton of work and it hasn't disappointed. This past week I've been coding the user interface with GPT and navigating the complexities of releasing a web app. A web app has to work on every major browser on both desktop and mobile. That's Chrome, Safari and Edge for desktop, and Chrome and Safari for mobile. Making the project look and function consistently across all these browsers and screen sizes is like plugging a leaking dam with your fingers, toes and balls. If it works over here, it'll break over there and vice versa. Should it look right in one place and look wrong in another or should it look a little bit wrong in both places? *Screams into pillow* Thankfully ChatGPT recommended a service called BrowserStack that allows me to run the website on every device known to man. And it ain't no simulation either! They stream video from actual physical devices that you control remotely, which is crazy and wonderful. So I can check how the site looks on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, an iPhone 12 Pro Max, Edge on Windows 8 or Safari on Sierra. It ain't cheap, but it's a helluva lot less than buying an electronics repair shop. Speaking of ChatGPT, it was updated last week and apart from being so slow it felt like I was on a dial-up to Napster for a few days, it has been a Godsend. It can now search the web, view docs and screenshots and can actually remember what we were talking about 500 pages and a million lines of code earlier. The difference between this GPT and the one I started this project with is like night in Siberia and day in the Mojave. It feels very much like I've been riding a growing wave for a year and now I'm hanging 10 on some monster tsunami. Open AI also reduced their GPT-4 pricing like I'd hoped and now I have a little prayer of launching and catching another kind of wave altogether. Let's go Gonzo! Cyborgs & Centaurs I was reading an article on how different people have been working with AI and they apparently fall into two major categories: Cyborgs are people who integrate AI into every aspect of their work from soup to nuts. Centaurs are experts in some area where they still outperform AI and do that part of the job themselves and use AI to accomplish the tasks they have little or no expertise in. They make the soup, then task the AI with nut duty. I'm a Centaur. A lot is being made of AI art, but the best path from mind to reality is directly through your own two hands—if you've acquired the skill to do so over a lifetime. No matter what words I use in a prompt, no AI (thus far) can render what's in my mind. AI visual generation is only impressive if you have no vision of your own. So I hoard the work I'm good at and happily delegate the stuff I know nothing about to GPT and the results thus far have been a revelation. Partnering with AI seems to have freed me from almost every kind of executional handicap. It will be difficult to regress from this feeling of personal accomplishment.

Another morning

Alright, where do I start. Perhaps with the app I've been working on with my team. Alright, where do I start with that... think think think...

I'm the technical lead for university year long project (its actually 6 months, so I don't know why they would call it a year project) and its essentially a capstone project for my computer science degree.

My team is composed of 5 people, including myself and 4 of those members I've been in another terminal war simulator C++ project with last year and the other member I've met and teamed up with this year.

When we first decided to team up, I didn't want to be group leader again because I'm simply not a leader! Its way too much pressure having to manage people and making sure everyone is doing their work, and in hindsight I still think someone else in my group should have been a leader because I don't like these responsibilities! I'm a techie, an introvert! PICKING ME TO BE A LEADER?!?!? ARE YOU INSANE??

But nobody else wanted and I hate how everyone thought I was just playing hard to get, bro I'm simply not like that! But alas I gave in since no one bothered to step up, the only leadership quality I think I have is my refusal to fail and my clear sight to a goal. And also my ability to go beyond my limits even if detrimental to my mental health

So, what was the project that I've someone ended up as a leader for? Well, the project was an event photo sharing app and our client was a software engineer from a popular tech company in my country.

We met up with them, discussed ideas for the project, tried my best to encourage my team for the most grueling 5-6 months of their lives and got to work!

Being a project manager/leader is super hard like oh my goodness, I had to make sure there were constant meetings and that we followed scrum agile framework, it was really hard managing because getting people to do work is not one of my skill sets, I've always been a solo leveler but now I have to tell others what to do. Its hard to enforce accountability for work not done when your members are also friends.

What I wanted for my team is for them to have fun, learn something that can make them more valuable in the long run and ultimately build something they're proud of. Those are the values I tried for but its very hard if nobody listens to me and it feels like a chore to them.

My role was mostly technical leading as in most of the technical decisions were made by me, and also technical support as in if you ran into an issue come to me and I'll help or lead you to someone who can help, and I was also DevOps as in I built the whole CI/CD pipeline for our project with automatic builds, tests and deployments (I've never done this before so I had to learn and learn a lot of github actions), I was also sort of doing full stack (backend/service engineer and integration engineer and ui engineer) and also involved in training an AI model which in the end didn't work but we found a nice python solution. As you can imagine, I was having a lot on my plate? more like table and all had to be done

The team focused towards the 4 demos we had, each demo was a sort of deliverable where we had to have a certain percentage of the app requirements done. It was exhausting work, I had to work so many nights and give up weeks of holidays and recess to get it done, I started eating more and sleeping less, moving less, always on my computer, coding and designing, day in day out, sacrificing family time to make progress for the sake of the project, why? because I don't want to fail, it was no longer for sake of making the best app in the world, somewhere down the line of development it was no longer for the fun of it, it was for survival. This felt like a Herculean challenge, as if I was Sisyphus or something, it was all I could think about. I thought this project would finally be the time I enjoy myself but it ended with me having to rush to meet deadlines. Pushing myself to the very limit.

I won't lie, I was starting to feel hate inside my heart because I was burning myself out. Before the project began, one of the assistant lecturers mentioned that the projects will be tough and that it may ruin friendships, I didn't think much of it but now I'm just shook at my team. Not because deadlines weren't being met but because I was being ignored, I felt like I was being an inconvenience, like I was just taking time away from them and when the demo was getting closer and then all so suddenly they look at me like why things weren't finished. I'm sorry but we have deadlines for a reason!!! And now we have to do crunch time and I look like a bad guy.

But those feelings so mostly dissipated in our 4th demo because that was it, our supposed final demo, at least where the app is supposed to be at 100% complete. We finished all of the required features and tried adding extra, and what was the result? Well you can go and see for yourself

This is what we were presenting, the presentation went alright, better than the first 3 but I wasn't satisfied because there were some features I wanted to add but couldn't since we had to make sure the parts we did have were working. We were presenting to our lecturers, not the module lecturers but lecturers for the whole computer science degree, so we were a bit shaky.

The presentation went alright, two of my members have a dynamic, one of my engineers had a Steve Jobs like talent and the other was a quick learner and were very good at hiding their fears. The lecturers asked us questions, there's something I noticed about these questions... they were ignited by our presentation, but thats something for later. The questions were essentially based on what they taught us in the last couple of years since the degree began in first year and as final years were we able to apply what they taught us.

We were able to answer most of the questions with confidence, however one of my lecturers wasn't happy with our implementation of microservices. But other than that, it wasn't anything major, we did our best. And now we can stop working on the project.

There's a fifth demo in case our 4th demo didn't go well, meaning that we have to make improvements to the app, but we haven't got the results yet. In the mean time, we are focusing on our other modules.

Well I think I've said enough about the project. I'll write more later on what I'm going to do with this new free time because its crazy how much free time we have without this project. I am happy my team was able to push themselves, I've always wanted to be part of a development team where we all code and eat pizza together while working on the app. Discussing ideas with each member and how they should be implemented. This experience was valuable and I don't believe it would have been possible if I wasn't the group leader or with these lovable goof balls.

I do have anger issues, but the normal amount of anger, you know when your buttons get pressed so much, I was the only technical support! I felt like an overworked gateway service! Oh my goosh I was just mad. But hey, there's a good and bad to this, all you need to know I won't be doing any more group leaderly stuff hopefully and I'm not going to be involved in software development for a while and I'm retiring. Its off to cybersecurity now.

I'll let you know how the results are, but my next post will come out shortly

What are Premium Bonuses?

Bonus #1. 10 X DFY Outreach Emails

A unique collection of emails that have been tried and true can help you quickly close deals with local businesses in addition to getting their attention. Once more, having these is a must when utilizing Webify.

Bonus #2. Website Creation Graphics In a Box

In addition to helping to create a brand, graphics are crucial for closing business. Ametrue visuals have the potential to alienate potential customers, drive them away, and completely scupper business deals. Flyers, business cards, logos, and much more are included in this box to help you stand out from the competition.

Bonus #3. Page 1 Rankings Blueprint

You must upsell if you want to get the most out of your marketing efforts. Additionally, you should work to get as many repeat customers as you can because they will relieve you of the need to continually pursue new leads each month. For this reason, I’m giving you access to this exclusive tutorial that will show you how to quickly rank on Google’s first page. My team and I utilize this internal strategy to rank the websites of our clients.

Bonus #4. DFY SEO Graphics Pack

For obvious reasons, you would also require graphics to sell your backend SEO services. However, hiring a designer would require both time and money from you. However, none of that is a concern for you because this ready-to-use bundle includes all the visuals and files required to sell your SEO services in a manner befitting a true professional.

Bonus #5. DFY Copywriting Templates

You must be knowledgeable in the copywriting or the art of selling if you want to really take your emails to the next level and really push them to reply to your emails as soon as they read them. Now, the issue with copywriting is that it requires time and effort to become proficient; you cannot learn it in a day. This is the exact reason I offer more than one done-for-you template that you can use to make landing sites, sales pages, headlines that grab attention like crazy, and extremely compelling emails that work like magic by simply filling in the blanks.

Bonus #6. Reviews Booster Handout

The term “engagement goldmine” refers to print marketing. That being stated, whenever I need to improve the brand reputation of any neighborhood business. Simply print it out, bill your client, and prepare to boost your client’s reputation in the marketplace.

Bonus #7. Agency Branding Kit

A great branding strategy that would set your agency apart from the competition is the first step in acting like a 6-figure firm in order to build one. This is why I’m giving a starter kit for your agency that’s so complete it practically contains everything you need to make it appear successful and make six figures. You would be able to fully remodel your agency’s identity or build the foundation for an agency that exudes authority and professionalism, from business cards and logos to goodies bags, envelopes, brochures, calendars, and CD labels.

Bonus #8. On-Demand Offline Blueprint

You will learn about one of the most original ways to make money as an offline consultant in this article. Local businesses would be more than happy to compensate you for your services because you would be providing them with a completely unique service. And the reason why is that both parties benefit from it. While you want to make more money, local companies need more customers. This guideline aids you in doing that.

Darcy gave him a smile and nodded. "Even if you are not a professor, if knowledge and spreading it is so important, you do work close to it, right?" Well, technically that would be the memory of the simulation, but still, she wondered if maybe there would be some clues in people's pasts in there.

There was a reason why they all remembered the simulation and not what came before, right?

"Oh, actually," she said when Gael brought up the phones and cell service, "believe it or not, phones do work. Sort of. Zaid and I tried it when we were still on the ship - so we can all call each other, just not anyone else who isn't here." You can't really call people who aren't real, after all.

She handed over her phone to him. "Wanna give me your phone number and see if it's still the case?" She gave a small shrug. "Maybe if we can call each other, there is some kind of internet service that also works around here, who knows."

Gael wasn't sure how long they'd be here, and that resonated with everyone else whom Darcy talked to. And as much as she was sure they were in good hands, it's not like she could actually tell how long this phase would last, either. But she was okay with that for now. When he talked about not really thinking waking up here was like wanting to see new places, Darcy couldn't help but lean closer, whisper, "Is there any part of you that is just a little excited about everything aronud here, though?

"I don't know if you've seen the forests a little bit further up, but I went there and I went through it and once you get through, you get to this beach that is entirely covered in black sand. It's beautiful. I've never seen anything like it." She ducked, shaking her head before she looked at him again. "Since we're stuck here without actually knowing how long we're here, I'm absolutely taking advantage of everything around here and going to explore everything. Might as well, right?"

She let out a small chuckle when he reassured her that she didn't have to climb the Everest for her to have an interesting hobby. "Thanks, that's really nice of you to say. And hey-- I know I said that I'm doing okay with all of this, but if you don't, and teaching somebody of something that they didn't know yet would help you, I'm happy to be that person. We gotta stick together and help each other while we're here."

As he continued with his skillful multitasking (at least, he thought it was skillful) and Darcy opted to stick around and humor him with varied conversation, Gael mused over what she'd said, some of it briefly but some more of it with consideration. That probably sounded better up here. Setting aside what Animal Farm was about, if only for now, the scientist decided to tackle the other things she said in order this time.

"If you aren't a student, then you're in good company because I'm not a professor." He chuckled. "Though I'm sure my nieces would disagree with how often I tend to ramble to them about things the couldn't care less about. Tío Gael, you sound like my teacher!" He pitched his voice up as he imitated one of them, moving his head in a way that suggested it was said with boredom and a vague whine.

"I do like to teach, though. I mean, in moderation. The spread and exchange of knowledge is like top tier in my little ranking of important things." He held a book up and flat to indicate a bar. "Good luck trying to get reception on your phone, though... I've heard that people's aren't really working. I'm not even sure we have wi-fi here." He added, noting the lack of satellite dishes or a radio tower.

Because that'd be too easy, right? Okay, we're getting too close to catastrophizing, back to the conversation topic. Back to the books, back to the conversation topic. ...The conversation topic was his interpretation of what was happening. Where they were. "Oh, I was just..." He faltered, giving a noncommittal shrug as he set down a couple more books. "I dunno. I don't know how long we're gonna be here - ideally not too long - but I think it's like a uhhhh like it's..." Another shrug had Gael sighing, finally pausing in his buzzing around the area that was littered with literature. Litterature.

Boooooo.

"I don't know. I do spend a lot of time around books, or... I tried to, when I had some free time. I also liked going to new places, seeing neat things, all that exploration stuff you mentioned but I don't think waking up in a shipwreck on a remote, yet not-quite-deserted island was what I had in mind, y'know?" He regarded her, his brow knitted in the middle as for just a moment, the jittery excitement of what he was doing was washed away and he had reverted back into a tired, bedraggled, awkward loser who was keenly aware of how incorrect all of this felt. About how the books he was sorting through didn't belong to him, how none of them really belonged there.

He kept those thoughts to himself and he shook his head, clearing his throat as he resumed his sorting process. "But! I dunno. Could be here for another couple hours, could go to sleep and wake up back at home, could be... Indefinite." He cast a quick glance at Darcy once more. "But I'm glad you're doing okay! I'd think it takes a measure of confidence or optimism to 'know' that we'll be okay in the end. ...And by the way, your hobbies aren't uninteresting. It's not like you have to be like a frequent Mount Everest scaler or anything."

PART 23: PRETTY BOY

emotions run wild when everyone is drunk and hardly coherent. quackity is always loud, but tonight is a full on assault on the senses (the ears, in particular). bretman simps for corpse too much for your liking. rae is happy for once. there’s a confession of love somewhere in there. sister james makes a very good impostor, but that’s old news, the real question is who gave you a knife? a new persona emerges that leaves the roaches quivering in their boots.

─── corpse husband x reader, a lil bit of everyone x reader (because she’s a queen) ─── soc. media + written fiction! ─── word count: a lil over 7k.

author’s note: it’s the way i can’t follow a fucking calendar for me. sorry guys, i swear to god i thought i had one more day before thursday . the idiot award goes to me and i accept it with pride. anyway, i was excited to write this for a while! quackity is in mexico, that’s why he drinks, too. my fic, my rules, he’s too funny not to include. im also working on an extra w dream and mr quack so look forward to that, too! hopefully u like this part ily xx and as always lmk wat u think!!

ultimate masterlist. ҉ myso masterlist ҉ previous. ҉ next.

✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼

The outfit for today was picked with care and consideration. Hot, as always- you had forgotten your roots, your hoodie and sweats lay hidden in the bottom of your drawer never to be worn on stream again. You’ve changed. Clout really does that to people. Some viewers, naturally, find your hotness near insulting: how dare you rub your beauty in their faces, and so unabashedly, too?! If only you had a twinge of self-awareness, perhaps you would tone it down. But you don’t, and whether that’s by choice or not is the mystery the whole internet tries to solve (ARMY has been working diligently, and you admire their effort, though in the end their tireless labor brings no tangible results).

You went from hot to hotter. In all truth, the fires eating away at California can be blamed on you. You carry this burden in stride, in your platform overpriced shoes some girl scammed you on Depop with, in your fishnets, in your skirt, in your corset, in your rings and necklaces and chains. You woke up today and chose violence. Decided your existence will be a plague to the rest of the populace, and meant it (that, maybe, you took inspiration from a certain faceless Youtuber that so happens to be your boyfriend or whatever). You feel powerful. Like you could step on the world and the world would let you. You decide that it’s the way it should always be.

The smile on your lips informs of nothing good to your quaint, small audience of 40k. You change the lighting in your room from the soft cherry blossom pink to menacing violet. As fitting for a villain.

Perhaps California’s hellish sun has finally purged you of your bubbly, docile nature (arguably, you had never possessed it to begin with); perhaps it’s the forth mimosa you’re mixing as people slowly trickle into the lobby. Who knows?! Not you, definitely. What do all of those boring dead white European philosophers say? Embrace the unknown? Cheers, you’ll drink to that.

In stark contrast to your appearance, your room is a fucking mess. A war-zone of epic anime scale. Everything is scattered, well, everywhere. A perfect representation on what’s going on in your mind, always. You don’t like how people focus on your surroundings-- you’re the main attraction, hello? Are you not enough to sustain them? Must they beg for more?! Totally ungrateful. You shake your head in disappointment, as if a mother scolding her children.

noooooo! mom pls forgive me i will never ask abt anything ever again T_T

yall looking at the room? lol couldnt be me

feels like im five and my mum just told me i cant eat a pretty rock i found on the pavement:(

You can’t contain your sly grin. Eyes twinkle with a purplish hue, appearing all the more menacing. You tricked them once again, oh how absolutely evil of you. In your blind delight you accidentally spill champagne on your lap.

“-Oop, fuck.” You snort.

why does she sound like goofy

The scandalous drunk Among Us stream is about to start. You had been eerily silent through the greetings, and those that chose to approach you were met with a cold shoulder and minimal replies. All on purpose, of course. You wish to plant a seed of unease within them, and so far, it’s working. There are questions unanswered, jokes unsaid, Quackity unteased. It breaks your heart, but it must be done. You look into the camera, all vulnerable and devout, as if to say: I’m doing this for you, all for you.

pack it up yandere simulator

idk whats going on but i think im into it?

villain arc villain arc villain aRC VILLAIN ARC

“Hey, guys,” Corpse’s voices rings in your headphones, and not a blink later his astronaut appears in the lobby in a cloud of smoke, “Hi, Y/n.”

More sharp, excited hellos follow after. You merely hum, though give no further reply. As Corpse strays to your side, Charlie steps in in front of him, “BDA access only. You have a permit, bitch?”

“Y/n is being quiet-she’s being quiet, guys!” Quackity helpfully informs, as if the rest failed to notice your cryptic silence, “Don’t be sad Corpse, man, Corpse don’t be-she didn’t say shit to me either.”

“Y/n has decided to not waste her breath on the SDS.” Charlie voices, “And you know what? I actually agree with her for once.”

“SD-what now?” Dream questions.

“The Small Dick Society.” Charlie explains, noting Dream’s whine of protest, “Oh no, don’t give me that shit, weren’t you bitching about not being invited and not belonging to exclusive clubs? Congratulations, you’re finally part of one.”

“Wait!” Quackity interjects, “Am I part of it too?”

“Guess, Sherlock.”

“I’ll drink to that.” Corpse says. You nod to your audience, like he just spoke the God honest truth, and follow in his example. Your tentative sip unexpectedly turns into a greedy gulp, but you’re not complaining. The only slightly coherent thought that rings in your mind is drink tasty.

“Ignore them,” Rae chimes, “Y/n’s probably plotting something and using Charlie as a cover up.”

“I’d never.” The words slip past your lips before you can stop them.

“Well you sure are very quick to deny it.” You can hear her smirking, can hear the proud lilt in her voice, like she caught onto your silly little scheme, like she has you all figured out. Your eyes narrow dangerously. The night behind your window pools dark, with far away city lights glimmering before they, too, seem to dim.

Your roommate is back on your shitlist. How her name was missed among the rest.

“I’m defending my honor.” You yelp, the playfulness back in your voice along with your sunny smile, “I can’t have my wifey slandering me online. At least do it in private, geez.”

If Rae’s such a good detective, you’ll give her a good chase. Perhaps you’ve been laying it on too thick. Made her too suspicious. She can’t out you yet--not when your plans are so grand, so fun. It would be a waste.

“Why weren’t you saying anything then?” Quackity questions.

“Do I need a reason not wanting to talk to you?” You shoot back. Your friends laugh and he tries to shriek something past their cackle. You lean back into your chair, the tension from Rae’s confrontation finally easing. You wink at the camera and bring a finger to your lips. The roaches swear to secrecy, elated by your wickedness. As appropriate, they spam devil emojis and various renditions of evil hohohos and hehehes. The apple truly does not fall far from the tree. You had raised them well. You raise your glass in solidarity. A few donations fall into your pocket, easily summed up as: make them suffer.

Muting the discord call, you give a single response, “Oh, I intend to.”

i hope this doesn’t awaken something in me

^already too late for me bro

As caught up in wreaking havoc among your viewers as you are, you miss Sykkuno’s entrance, though from what you can tell, Charlie gave a stern warning to back the fuck off to him, too. He’s playing into your plan so beautifully. Truly, you couldn’t do this without him. Back to stalking the chat you go.

Your eyes flicker to the game upon Bretman’s signature drawl and “Hi, daddy.”. You have no time to get offended at Corpse’s sweet “Hi, honey” back, because the next person to join the discord call and the lobby leaves you speechless. You knew, of course, you had been informed of the line-up, but still, you had never expected yourself to be so close to Jomes Chorles himself. You make a weird gesture with your hands, half wave half excited wiggle, as if you’re telling the audience to calm down, when, in fact, it is you that needs calming.

He goes saying his hello’s like doing a public service, name by name, before, lastly, uttering, “Hi, Miss Y/n. Loooove the vids.”

He’s a roach in disguise, who could’ve known?! Your audience is so diverse and unexpected, gosh, you’d shed a tear if the mascara wasn’t so expensive.

“Hi!” You reply with a grin, and it’s genuine this time, a glimmer of your old self, “Hi, I love your videos, too. It’s like, really cool to finally meet you.”

“Oh my God, you too!” Is his enthusiastic reply, “Okay, the energy in the studio today? Love it.”

“Is this all of us?” Quackity asks.

“Sadly.” James says with a note of disappointment.

“HEY!”

“Okay, guys!” Ash chimes, “Let’s do this! Proximity Among Us, round one, go go go!”

✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼

Luck does not shine upon you during the first round- you are stuck as Crew Mate, your life cut short by Bretman who had the audacity to bite your head off. You’re positive Ke$ha wrote her hit single Cannibal about him, and if she didn’t, she definitely had a That’s So Raven moment and predicted it. It’s also insanely suspicious as after you are eliminated he sticks real close to Corpse, feigning innocence (and this is a controversial opinion you do not endorse) better than even you. It wounds your pride, having been picked off so casually, so quickly, and now stuck a ghost you roam the halls of the dying spaceship, lost, confused, heartbroken.

Charlie runs past you, not once even glancing in your direction. “Brother...” You mutter sadly, “Do you not see me here? Do you not feel... the loss of your twin’s heartbeat...?" Damn, these mimosas really are making you emotional. You sniffle and take a sip to calm the storm within you. No rage, just sadness. You are still processing your own tragic demise.

Suddenly, a meeting is called. There’s a horrible red X on your astronaut. You are the only one dead so far, and of course the rest won’t vote out the fucker. How bitterly you sit! With your arms crossed over your chest and your glare sharp enough to cut through glass. Fuck the sad shit, now you’re just angry. At the very least, the second Impostor could’ve given you some company!

“I knew something felt off.” Charlie is first to speak.

“Who the fuck killed Y/n?” Corpse questions, and his voice ignites a whole discussion that lasts much too short. The others skip, having no suspect yet. It’s much too soon to start pointing fingers, but you still feel like they should have at least tried. Pouting, you fix yourself another drink.

“Stop drinking!?” You gasp, exasperated at your chats demands, “I’m dead! What else should I do, the tasks?! Nah, fuck that. I’m done. I’m out. Charlie better employ his fucking detective skills because if the Impostors win, I will literally quit the game--yes I will, no I’m not bullshitting, fucking watch me.”

Thankfully, Bretman was caught venting, and you didn’t have to end the stream prematurely. The second Impostor, your roommate (oh, the betrayal, Rae, how could you?!) was voted out due to Corpse’s suspicion. Victory to the Crew Mates! The game restarts and you find yourself back in the lobby.

“Miss Y/n,” Bretman says, “I am sooo sorry for killing you first, baby. It was just too easy. I couldn’t pass it up.”

Giggling, Quackity chimes, “Sister slaughtered.”

“Oh my God,” James groans, “shut up!”

“Yeah, Y/n.” Charlie speaks, and there’s an accusatory note in his calm voice, “Why the fuck did you allow yourself to be eliminated first? Real noob shit, I expected more of you.”

“HUH?!” You frown, “What’s with the victim blaming?! I literally was doing my task and Bretman snuck up on me. It’s not like I had a weapon to defend myself!”

“You have been avenged,” Corpse states, “and that’s all that matters.”

“Thank you, Corpse!” You say, “At least someone cares.”

“Hey, I helped, too!” Dream pipes up.

“No, you didn’t.” Corpse shoots him down, “I was the only one.”

“You were not--”

“Literally was. Isn’t that right, Sykkuno?”

“Uhhhh-” Sykkuno trails off, “Well, we-we all helped!” You can hear his shy smile, and you just know he’s bobbing his head up and down at this exact moment, “We all helped. Team work!”

“Team work!” The rest echo, save for yourself, Corpse, Charlie, and the two Impostors. Silence speaks more than a thousand words or whatever. You pray to any higher power willing to listen to finally assign you the role of the villain, the one you were born to do.

Sadly, higher powers must have either shitty customer service or are in need of hearing aids, and you almost scream in frustration when your astronaut appears along with the others, the bold CREW MATE title chipping away at your master plan.

✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼　 ҉ 　✼

“Hey, Y/n, hey! Hey, Y/n!” Rae finds you in Cafeteria, where you, metaphorically, are eating your feelings. Not that she needs to know, of course. She sounds chipper, a bit ditsy, and that must mean she’s sufficiently tipsy. You store that information for later, and forget about it as soon as you notice Dream and Sykkuno, like her very own personal bodyguards, trailing after her, “Wanna play a game?!”

“Is this Saw?” You inquire, somewhat lazy. You’d be lying if you said the alcohol wasn’t affecting you, it’s just instead of making you bubbly, it makes you mellow. This was supposed to be fun, you were supposed to terrorize everyone and laugh as they perished by your hand, yet here you are, wallowing in self-pity. The roaches start worrying. The donation jingle chimes.

BEATINGS & SLUTATIONS yns_fishnets donated 5$ mom just wait it out & dont worry youll get your vengeance soon lead them on!!!!

Your fishnets have a point!

“Saw?--No, no, haa, no it’s a drinking game.” Dream sounds like he has had one too many rounds of this mysterious game, and naturally, you are intrigued.

“Where we drink!” Sykkuno clarifies. Right, well that explains everything! If you had any questions, you surely have none now.

“Okay, so, name a category, and you have to, like, say a word associated with it...Or something along those lines.” You hadn’t even agreed and Rae is explaining the rules already. She knows you too well. It’s both a blessing and a curse, “Can be anything! Okay, Y/n, Y/n, Y/n start!”

“Uhh--” If only your brain computed as fast as she spoke! “Song lyrics! Wait--who drinks?”

“You fail, you drink!” She hurries, “Choke me like you hate me but you love meeeeee. Syk, go, go go!”

“Uhm, ah, I don’t wanna feel like this, uh, fuck?” He laughs--it’s a raspy, embarrassed little sound, “I don’t...wanna look like this? Dream, now you!”

“Wait, we’re singing Corpse’s songs?”

“Any song!” You urge him quickly, “Hurry! Or drink!”

“She say I kill her cat like I'm Luka Magnotta--”

“Hey! That’s cheating! You can’t use my song!” Rae protest.

“That wasn’t in the rules!” He counters.

“Y/n! Time’s running out!” Sykkuno exclaims.

“Oh, uh, will-will the real Slim Shady please stand up!”

NOT EMINEM WHAT THE FUCK

MOOOM WHT THE HELL THIS ISNT 2008 T_T

“Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia’s greatest love machine--”

“All...All the other kids with the pumped up kicks better, uhh, run better run, faster...-faster than my gun?”

“Uhh, shit--fucking hell.” Dream laughs, and Rae practically screams at him to keep going, “Alright! Okay! I’m singing--uh, you’re so golden, na na na na?”

“I tell you what a woman loves most,” You chime gleefully, “it’s a man who can slap but can also stroke.”

finally, the mother mother representation we’ve all been waiting for

i aint exactly gay but i aint exactly not gay >:)

the bis won

“I steal a few breeeeaaaths from the woooorld for a minute--”

“Mitski?!” You question, eyes bulging, “Baby, who hurt you?”

Even if you can’t see her, you know she’s waving her arms around and shaking her head, “Not the point! Sykkuno!”

“Uh, I-I, uhm, I don’t--”

“Drinnnnk!” You all chorus.

“It was a good concert,” You say, “Syk, I’ll drink with you.”

“Thank you, Y/n. That’s very kind of you.” He says softly, with a smile lining his lips. You grin.

“Oh, fine. Everyone, bottoms up!” Rae decides, and no one protest. A moment of silence passes, then, “Well, GG, GG, let’s do some tasks?”

Your enthusiastic Ariana Grande-esque “yuh” is cut short by the second meeting of game two being called. The first one to go had been Ash, voted out during a bathroom break as a joke, and you still feel a bit bad about that. Now, you notice Charlie has been eliminated. A sense of righteousness fills you--while you mourn for your brother from another mother and father and family tree, you feel like this is divine punishment for slandering you before the start of this round. Karma. Nothing much is discussed, and the meeting ends shortly with everyone skipping.

You spend a good ten minutes wandering around with Dream, who’s mission appears to be convincing you to join his Minecraft server, and really, there was no need for him to try so hard. You failed to provide him with a concrete answer only because it would've been to humiliating to admit that you agreed instantly upon hearing the word Minecraft.

That’s when things get fucking weird. Another meeting is called whilst you’re in the middle of fixing lights, and once the board with the members appears you audibly gasp. There had been 8 living, breathing astronauts rushing around the map, and now only 4 remain. You, Corpse, James, and Alex.

“What the fuck--what the fuck?!” You screech alarmed, noting Dream being among the perished crew, “I was just with Dream fixing the lights, I was just with him, what the fuck--”

“Okay, no one panic.” James says, “Let’s figure this out. Okay? Okay. Who else is close to Electrical?”

“I’m at Nav.” Quackity says.

“I’m at Cafeteria, but Y/n--” Corpse starts, “kinda weird that Dream died when you were with him?”

“I didn’t fucking kill him, I swear to God, Corpse, why are you accusing me?”

“Don’t be so defensive.” He says smoothly, “I’m just pointing out the obvious. We all have a reason to be sus, no? Considering you were right with him.”

“...It is suspicious.” James agrees, and a part of you dies inside. You understand their hesitance to trust you, but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating!

“Guys, I didn’t kill him, I swear. He invited me to play Minecraft, I wouldn’t do that to him, not after that!”

Corpse merely hums, and it brings no comfort what’s so ever. The situation is spiraling, and not in your favor. Trying to salvage your chances at freedom, you try again, “Wh-James, James, you called the meeting, right?”

“Yeah, I found Rae’s body near Medical.”

“So I couldn’t have killed her and Dream at the same time!” You latch onto that piece of information, hoping it will save you.

“You could’ve vented.” Corpse points out, “Plus, there’s no telling how old the body is.”

“Killing five fucking people? It’s the work of one person, or else the game would have already ended. As it stands, I am no way sober enough to think all of this out.”

A brief silence hangs in the air; your lungs constrict from tension, from spilling words so hotly. You grasp your glass, as if for emphasis, and take a shy sip. It taste sweet, a bit too sweet for your liking. Must be your nerves. You drink again to wash the taste out of your mouth, which, surprisingly, doesn’t work. You whine a little, stomping your feet like a child about to throw a temper tantrum.

“...I believe her.” Quackity says. You breathe out a sigh of relief.

“Alex, thank youuuuuu!” You gush, batting your lashes as if he could somehow see you and that would somehow portray your innocence, “I knew I liked you for a reason!”

He mutes his mic, his spill of words lost to your ears, but chat helpfully informs that he’s screaming because you don’t hate him.

y/n out here collecting men like pokemon cards

Now all that’s left is to convince the others. You start with the one you know will work, “Corpse,” You address him in your sweetest voice.

“Y/n,” James warns, “don’t you dare--”

“Baby, I didn’t kill anyone, I’m crew mate, you gotta believe me.”

“She's innocent.” Corpse declare, thoroughly convinced.

“Oh my fucking God, you fucking simp!” James laughs, “She’s obviously manipulating you!”

“No, no, she isn’t. She’s innocent, I agree with Quackity. Now, it’s either you or him.”

“Could be you for all we know!” Alex accuses.

“Guys, time’s running out.” You mutter fretfully, noting the seconds tick by from white to red.

“I’m voting Alex.” Corpse says.

“What?! Fucking traitor! Fine, I’m voting for you.” Alex hisses.

“Ugh, hate agreeing with Quackity, but I’m also voting Corpse. Sorry, hon, nothing personal.” James says. The VOTED icons pop up beside their characters and you panic, pressing your mouse idly but it’s too late, there wasn’t enough time, and you cry as Corpse is thrown into lava. The chat spams F, and it feels like salt on a fresh wound.

In a second you’re back in Cafeteria, shell-shocked and trembling, and Quackity cusses because the Impostor is still among you. His frustration doesn’t last long as you watch in horror as Jams Chortles, beauty guru supreme, murders the only other crew mate in cold blood and all you can do is gape and let his cheerful laughter fill your ears. The screen bleeds red, informing of Impostor victory, the second one being Ash. Looks like you voted her off for the right reason, but little difference did it make.

“Corpse!” You yell past the cacophony of voices, all in varying forms of excitement or anger, beelining for his in-game figure, “Corpse, I’m so sorry, I panicked, I tried pressing the button but I wasn’t quick enough--”

“It’s alright, baby. Don’t worry about it.” He’s so calming, so gentle, you might burst into tears again. What did you do to deserve him? You wish he was with you so you could smother him in a hug. Alas, all you can do now is say “I kith you, mwah!” and rush to the other side of the lobby, as if to hide from such a bold display of affection, even if it was a joke (it wasn’t).

yall say corpse simps for y/n but the reality is y/n simps for corpse harder

queen stop its embarrassing

bhaddies can simp!! i wouldnt but its her choice <3

More deliberations, commentary, and short breaks. Once everyone has returned, the countdown starts. You’re still reeling from the chaos of emotions, the five stages of grief you experienced in 1 second upon Corpse’s unjust demise, that it takes you a moment, a single heartbeat to realize what you’re seeing on screen.

The letters IMPOSTOR hang above your astronaut, with Dream standing just behind you as your newly appointed partner in crime. And suddenly, all the sadness and the tenderness and sympathy vanish with a curt exhale. You slowly turn your head to the chat, muting the Discord call, your soft chuckle of disbelief turning into a full blown laugh.

it’s happening!!!!

omg omg omg omg

VILLAIN ARC VILLAIN ARC VILLAIN ARC

You slap your palm over your lips, trying to contain your wicked smile, to tone down your broken giggles, “N-No, I can’t laugh yet,” shaking your head softly, you look into the camera, “they’re all going to die.”

pack it up light yagami

this has awoken something in me.

^ same

The crew mates go their own ways, rushing to do their tasks like the diligent little workers they are. How adorable. Their grim fate is still miles away from them. The shit you’ll pull will be for the history books. Much like your outfit, which you picked keeping in mind your newfound thirst for blood, you had devised your plan of action with care and consideration. You had been mulling it over all day, drawing on paper like the absolute madwoman you are; hell, you even made sticky notes on who to go for first and what to say. Sure, being moderately drunk hinders your memory slightly (an understatement of the century), but you got a feel for what you’re going to do. It’s nothing short of evil.

Dream and you don’t exchange words, you merely nod at him-- which he, of course, can’t see-- but your criminal bond enables telepathic communication. You can hear his thoughts, ones that strangely sound like drink drink, drink drink. And really, who are you to refuse such an enticing offer?! As he fucks off to stalk his victims, or play pretend, you take a sip. The cocktail is still sweet, but this time it’s not the icky sweet you had tasted prior. You glance at your sticky notes, ones the roaches can’t see, and nearly spill your drink for the second time today as you jerk.

“Fuck!” You exclaim, shoving your headphones off and spinning in your chair. You hastily stand up, wobble -- the world is pleasantly funny right about now -- and giggle. Stepping past the mountains of abandoned clothes and pillows and blankets and anime plushies, you maneuver your way to your bedside table and yank it open, nearly taking out the whole drawer with you. In the mess of old diaries and bad drawings, pencils, jewelry, and stickers, you fish out something you should not be wielding in your inebriated state.

It’s a knife.

In midst of teenage angst you had ordered it off of Amazon with your mom’s credit card, all the while whining that it’s not a phase, mom, and it’s what all of my cool kid friends with fried hair have, and don’t you want me to fit in, don’t you want your daughter to be happy?! You think it’s about that time, the time of too much uneven eyeliner and black eye shadow, that she took to calling you little raccoon. Trash rabbit was your personal favorite, but she used it sparingly. When you presented your Macy’s outfit, holding up a fucking butterfly knife, to your dad, asking if it was a look, he glanced up from some boring business magazine all boring business dads read and said, with a bright smile might you add, “It’s a something!”.

Oh, how it gleams in the lilac light. You used to do tricks with it, back in eight grade maybe, and--what the fuck? Why did you parents allow you to buy it in the first place? Well, because you’re the only child, the only one important, of course they got it for you and clapped enthusiastically at your performances, because why wouldn’t they? The whining they’d face otherwise would’ve been harder to endure than a whole dance number to Panic! At The Disco’s greatest hits. Broadway looked so fucking shabby in comparison. Your mom said so, so it must be true.

Stumbling back to your extremely confused viewers, you take your seat, feeling a bit more grounded now that you’re not standing on your platform shoes anymore. Putting on your headphones, you grin at the chat that starts swimming, and not from too much drinking either. You do a quick flick of your wrist, one that thankfully doesn’t end in injury, and the sharp tip of the exposed knife points upwards, glimmering. It’s a rainbow colored one, because one, it’s pretty, and two, you weren’t hardcore enough for the jet-black or straight up military ones the other emo kids had. Cute and dangerous, just like you.

So you just sit there, holding it up, looking somewhat sly as the roaches capture this momentous moment with screen-caps. Someone definitely clipped you trudging past the obstacle course to obtain a weapon of mass destruction. You must be already trending on Twitter, though you can’t exactly log on and confirm your suspicions. You just feel like you might be, like you should be, because your audience wouldn’t let this slide. Thankfully, your friends don’t have time to check social media, or you’d be outed in an instant.

“Y/n?” Your roommates voice booms from your headphones, and you perk up with a stupid realization that you completely forgot about Among Us. Stuck at the start, at the lobby where Dream had left you, you see her astronaut waddling to you, “What are you doing here? Wait--Have you not moved from the beginning?” She can barely finish the sentence without giggling.

You grin, “I was looking for something.”

Your voice is soft, too calm for your usual frantic spill. You gently set the knife down, hand coming to rest on your mouse, fingers idly, slowly, bouncing on the buttons.

“...What were you looking for?” She’s none the wiser, the numerous drinks consumed tonight numbing her sharp mind. She would have noticed. Your eerie composure would’ve given it away in a heartbeat, or at least hinted at something being objectively wrong. But she sounds curious. Poor girl, hasn’t she heard? Curiosity killed the cat.

“A knife.”

“A knife?!” There’s something about her tone that implies a mental clicking, the puzzle pieces falling together, “You have a knife?!”

“Yes.”

“No!”

You think it would only be appropriate that the random sequence of killing animations renders the backstabbing one. You grin, biting your lower lip with a quiet snicker.

i love women

if evil bad...why seggy?

You take your time leaving her there -- in true serial-killer-to-be fashion, you stick around for a bit longer, admiring your handiwork, or more like the chat singing your praises. You joined today with the intent of making an interesting stream. You have no doubt in your mind that now it will be legendary.

You move down the hallway, and you let your imagination wander: you can almost feel the stuffy air of your helmet, can almost hear your loud footsteps echoing in all this hush, can almost see your reflection in the spotless tile floor. It’s not long before your second victim makes an appearance, running circles in Cafeteria. You hear his voice first before you see him, recognizing Alex by his unhinged screech of “Let’s go, let’s go, let’s goooo!”

“And what’s got you so excited?” How cool and collected you are, gosh, you barely contain the quiver of excitement that threatens to slip out.

“Y/n!” He exclaims, rushing to your side like a lost puppy--he’s really making this easy for you, he’s not even trying, “You just missed--Oh my fucking God, you just missed James, he-he called me tall, he called me fucking tall! Let’s go, let’s gooooo!”

“Well, you are tall, aren’t you?” You chime sweetly, almost as sweet as the drink that lingers on the tip of your tongue, “Real 6′3 energy, no?”

“Yes, yes, exactly! You get it, you fucking get it--” Once again, his mic goes mute, and you glance at the chat for help.

hard to transcribe what hes saying but hes taking shots and yelling that he loves you good job mom

hey, queen! girl, you have done it again, constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly

mom plz dont kill alex hes too cute hes all uwu rn

Oh, how you’re about to break his poor little heart. If you had any good left in you, you’d spare him. You don’t, and you’re not taking requests at the moment, so all you do is smile at your chat and they know. They just do. Hive-mind shit, you’re all two-faced little fuckers.

You giggle, and it sounds a tad fake, “You’re so weird, Alex,” You start, and he’s back in the call, a sound of confusion echoing in your ears, “but I get it, you know. You’re weird. You’re a weirdo. You don’t fit it, and you don’t want to fit in. I mean, really, has anyone even seen you without your stupid hat?”

“...Do--” He sputters, bellowing a laugh, “Do you have that whole fucking monologue memorized?!”

“Is it because you’re bald?”

“I’m not fucking bald!” His giddiness is quickly replaced by anger.

You hum, pretend to think, lastly barking a “Liar.” before you kill him. His scream is cut off, leaving only deafening silence at it’s wake. Unlike with Rae, you don’t stick around. You didn’t appreciate how little he enjoyed your recital.

You run into James near Navigation, most likely on his way to Cafeteria. He ends his song mid-note, and you breathe a sigh of relief, “Finally! Someone! I’ve been looking all over, where the hell is everyone?” You question, blocking his way, lest he accidentally stumbles onto the crime scene and easily pins it on you. You’re not done yet.

“Honestly? No clue. I’m searching for them myself, like, everyone’s scattered. I hope no one died.”

You smile. You tried not to, but you can’t contain it, “Me, too.” You echo the sentiment, urging him to join you, and he does. Too trusting. Everyone in this game is too fucking trusting. You lead him back to Nav, feigning that you have a task here. As you pretend to move the spaceship, you can’t help but ask, “Hey, James?”

“Yeah?”

“What’s your favorite scary movie?”

A beat of silence passes, “Oh no, fuck that, I don’t like this at all.” He states, about to spin on his heel and bolt like he should do, but you’re quicker-- killer instincts and all-- and he’s dead before he makes it out the doorway.

“See, after your No More Lies video, I figured you’d only tell the truth.” Yes, this is the part of the anime where the villain monologues, only the hero in this case is an astronaut cut in half, and not exactly alive to listen to you. You hope James’ ghost sticks around, “Case in point, why the fuck did you tell Quackity he’s tall?” You eye the chat, which’s mostly spamming W and comparing you to Ryo from Devilman Crybaby. “Such a shame...” You murmur, pressing the REPORT button.

“What?! How are so many people dead?!” Ash gasps, her kind voice tinted with fear and confusion. Your three kills, like military stars on an uniform of a distinguished officer, are displayed on the board. Dream appears to be slacking, having yet to take a life.

“Someone’s been real fucking busy.” Charlie observes. It’s true, you have been.

“I found James in Nav, but holy shit--” You begin, exasperated, “--what the fuck, guys, how did we miss this shit? Where is everyone?”

“I’m at Electrical.” Corpse voices.

“And I’m with Corpse.” One sentence is all it takes to figure out your next target: Bretman. Revenge for being killed first in the first goddamn round, and for spending so much time with your boyfriend.

Eep!!! Boyfriend boyfriend boyfriend!!! The word even makes you forget your thirst for blood, that’s how whipped you are. Sadly, it’s time to return to reality, to this grave situation.

“And what have the two of you been conspiring?” You keep your tone level, but that alone is enough to set everyone off. The unease you had planted within them before the game started is starting to bloom. However, if they suspect you, they don’t speak up, not yet.

“Fishnets, mostly.” Corpse says.

only partly a lie he was mostly talking abt u queen <3

corpse simping for y/n is the sweetest thing ever

the times corpse used y/ns name when talking abt y/n: 1. the times he used baby or my baby: infinite

“I’m wearing them right nyoooow.” Bretman drawls.

You hum, “What a coincidence. I am, too.”

“Wait--For real?” That seems to catch Corpse’s attention, because of course it does, you picked them with him in mind, after all.

“No peeping.” You tsk, obviously referring to his tendency to hop onto your stream unprompted. Whether he actually listens to your demands is beyond you, “Peeping means cheating.”

“For the love of fuck all, can we get back to the three dead bodies, please? Because I’m about to have a second coming of Christ moment and taste my consumed, digested beer for the second time.” Charlie interjects.

“I mean, anyone have any ideas who’d do this?” Dream takes hold of the conversation. Quiet, disappointed nos greet him. They have nothing to go on, no clues, not even a subliminal message. With everyone scattered, there is no way of locating the actual bodies and drawing a long red trail leading back to you.

You’re too good at lying, and Dream is too good of a publicist. People tend to trust his judgement, which is his main asset (besides his calm demeanor of course). When the Among Us gods chose you as Impostor, they made sure you had every advantage.

“Who-Who do you think it is, Dream?” Ash questions, “I trust you. I do. Just know that.”

“No fucking clue.”

“Y/n?” She tries again.

“Same. I’m a bit worried, though.”

“Let’s, uhhh, let’s skip?” Sykkuno offers. The consensus is to start voting at six. Your new mission is to make sure you dwindle the numbers down drastically before that can happen. You have no qualms about sacrificing Dream in order to meet your goals, either. Absolutely cold blooded.

Back at Cafeteria, there are words exchanged about Quackity’s body just laying there, forgotten. Blame is shifted: how come we didn’t notice sooner? Where’s Rae? And you mindlessly go along with their mourning, not really paying attention. Dream leaves with Charlie and Sykkuno, Corpse requests you stay with him and you sprout fake apologies. Not his time yet. Us girls need to stick together!, you sing, following after Ashley and getting further and further away from him, going deeper and deeper into the labyrinth of the spaceship.

You find yourself in Security with her, her cute astronaut pressed to the cameras, watching the live feed, “Let’s lurk here, okay? Maybe we’ll see something.” If only she saw who was standing behind her.

“Who do you think is the Impostor?” You ask, standing in the doorway, “Or, more like, who are the Impostors?”

“Honestly?” She ends her word with a little sigh, “I think it might be Corpse and Bretman. I haven’t seen them at all this game.”

You smile, raising your brows, tilting your heard, and you sound so kind, like a dear old friend about to deliver a tender message, “...Have you seen me?”

“SHIT!”

Too late. In one smooth motion she joins the afterlife. You cut the lights, venting mindlessly till you spot Corpse and Bretman panicking in Weapons. Your existence is still a mystery to them.

“Fuck fuck fuck fuck--” Corpse mumbles, “Bretman, don’t you dare fucking kill me right now.”

“I’m not Impostor!”

“Okay, I’ll drink to that.”

They rush out of Weapons, most likely on their way to Electrical, and you trail after them like the Grim Reaper itself, biding your time till you can deliver the killing blow.

“Corpse?!” You call out, mild panic ringing in your voice, “Is that you?”

“Shit, Y/n? Where are you?” He questions. Crew vision is so sad, so small, how can he not see you standing almost right next to him? “Where’s Ash?”

“I dunno,” You say, “when the lights went out I ran. Please don’t kill me.”

“I’d never do that, baby.”

Too easy. They’re all too fucking easy. You bite your lower lip, trying to stop the laugh bubbling in your chest, to stop the lightheaded dizziness that overcomes you with a rush of excitement.

“Thanks, pretty boy.” You mutter, and it sounds a bit lower than you intended, a bit darker, something sinister lurking underneath cotton candy words. It instantly clicks in Bretman and he makes a noise, something like a whine, and you see him backing away, “I know I can always trust you.”

Whether Corpse notices the odd shift in tone, he doesn’t show it, “I like it when you call me that.” Is all he says, and you hear the smile in his voice, the appreciation. The trek to Electrical is all but forgotten. You slowly make your way to Bretman, “Where are you? Come here.”

“Just a minute,” You say cheerily, “I just need to kill Bret first.”

“Holy shit.”

“N-” Your victim’s sentence is cut off in a second, and you can’t contain your manic cackle this time, because the screen bleeds red, the words VICTORY splattered on it, depicting yours and Dream’s sneaky astronauts. You’re still laughing as the voices of your fallen friends ring in your ears.

“Y/n, what the fuck, you’re an actual monster.” Dream says, but there’s no actual weight behind his words, each syllable punctured with a laugh.

“I knew the second she asked me about my favorite scary movie that I’d get the chop.” James states.

“Wait, Y/n, did you kill everyone?” Corpse questions.

“She fucking did!” Dream answers for you, “I got Charlie and Sykkuno, and barely at that. What the fuck.”

“I’ve been waiting so fucking long for this.” You admit, giggling, raising you glass, “I toast to you, Dream. My perfect partner in crime.”

“I didn’t really do shit, but cheers.”

Quackity heaves a heavy sigh, “Y/n, Y/n, you don’t actually think I’m weird, right? Right?”

“No, she does.” James chimes.

“WHAT THE FUCK DID I EVER DO TO YOU, DUDE?!”

More commotion, more noise, and you just sit there, buzzed, snickering, reading the chat as the rest agree to play another round. You thank the people who donated that you had accidentally missed among the, you know, murder, reply to a few questions, bow dramatically to the many praises and invisible flowers you receive for such beautiful assassin work. When you look back at the screen, you throw your head back with a maniacal laugh.

Impostor again, only this time it’s with Charlie. Family bonds are often restored when united under a common goal. You’re so happy. So happy. You weren’t done terrorizing your friends yet.

Patch Notes

Update 07/20/2021

PC: 1.77.131.1030 / Mac: 1.77.131.1230

Console: Version 1.44

Hello Simmers!

Hope you are well wherever you are in the world and that you are all having a fantastic Summer of Sims! We are excited to share today’s update with you. There is a lot of info, so make sure you have your tea/coffee/beverage of choice ready to read on. You all know I have my coffee ready for this!

As we continue to get ready to explore the countryside charm of Henford-on-Bagley and cannot absolutely wait to play with the adorable animals in Cottage Living, we also have updates and fixes that should improve and complement your Sims’ everyday life. We have something for everyone and we hope that you all enjoy them. Thank you for all your feedback and support.

Cheers!

-SimGuruRusskii ft. SimGuruRomeo and SimGuruJoAnna

What’s New?

Let’s start with some items that we shared in our last Sims 411! For this update, we partnered with two talented artists from the LGBTQ+ community, Ashley Lukashepsky, and Mohammed Iman Fayaz, and they have brought their inspiring and beautiful artwork into the game. We have also included the modernized version of the large afro hairstyle that we showed you. But more than tell you about it in text, let me actually attach a screenshot of everything put together:

I love everything about this scene, not only it shows you how the artwork looks in a real game setting, but the whole scene with the two Sims and their surroundings is quite magical. Also, look at that hair! The way the light highlights it, perfection! You may also notice the hair of the Sim on the right, which was also added with this update for everyone. I want to personally thank all Simmers for their feedback and recommendations, as we are continuously working on adding more diverse hairstyles and textures to not only packs, but also to our base game.

Now that we are talking about artwork, the last patch notes I forgot to add the artwork made by the wonderful Jupiter Stevens-Hill. I apologize for that, I totally blanked out. However, I’m happy to see that a lot of you are enjoying it and placing it in your Lots! That makes a very happy Russkii =)

To find Jupiter, Ashley, and Mohammed’s paintings in Build Mode, make sure you take a look at the Paintings and Posters sort and filter by Base Game items. These artists are amazing and we hope you enjoy their creations.

Now, without further ado, let’s get to some new features and improvements that are part of this update!

A little bit of Gallery

When you download a lot made with the bb.moveobjects cheat, the game now notifies you about this so you know to activate the cheat before placing the lot. Builders, this means you won't need to mention it in the lot’s description anymore!

A little for Sims

Trying to find the Sims in the current neighborhood? Select their portraits in the Relationship Panel.

"Focus the Camera" moves the camera to the Sim.

"Lock the Camera" moves the camera to the Sim and keeps following them.

Where did the Notebook go?

Found it! The Notebook has moved out of the Phone and into its own button for quicker access.

The "Center on Current Lot" button that used to be there has moved to the top right, adjacent to the Camera Controls.

Water Tool

You now can make natural, organic bodies of water! Just head into Build Mode, make a hole with the Terrain Manipulation tool, and fill it with water. It is that easy! The Terrain Manipulation and Paint Tools also have more brush sizes to enable finer detail.

In adding the Water Tool, we also took the chance to overhaul the related tools and object categories. Why not? Enjoy!

Pond Effects

All sorts of critters are available to complete the look of your pond ranging from ducks and swans to pesky mosquitoes. There is even an alligator!

New Pond Objects

Outdoor Water Décor now has an assortment of new Pond Objects to decorate the perfect pond. Some of these objects such as the Bog Log and Colorful Lily Pads have interactions on them in Live Mode to activate Turtle and Frog effects. The new Fishing Allowed Sign enables you to stock your pond with any fish your Sims have previously caught. Try it out!

New Water Styles

Go beyond the original crystal blue and dreamy magenta water. Additional options range from “Mossy Water” to “Pond Scum” to complete that au natural look.

The Shrubs category includes new plants to complement the water styles: "Green Fern", "Leaning Not-Grass Grass", "Not-Grass Grass Sans Inflorescence."

Gardening with Children

Children now can help out in the garden by planting, watering, and weeding. They build their Mental skill as they garden. The process of purchasing and planting seeds is streamlined as well to make gardening more enjoyable for everyone.

Group Cooking

Cooking no longer is a solo affair. Sims now can cook in groups of up to five Sims including children. Start cooking together by selecting a fridge, stove, or any empty countertop.

Zoomers Food Delivery Service

Are your Sims getting tired of the same old pizza delivery every night? Well, gone are the days of redundant pizza nights. Maybe you are in the mood for pasta primavera or even a fancy steak dinner. All this and more are available courtesy of Zoomer Food Delivery. Order delivery through the phone or the refrigerator and the food will arrive in a jif.

Calendar

The calendar, previously available only with Seasons, now is available with Base Game to see upcoming events such as birthdays, school and work schedules, festivals, and fairs. You even can use it to book events, so it’s time to get to party planning!

Bug Fixes

Consoles

In Snowy Escape, skiing, sledding, and snowboarding on Bunny Slopes now contribute to the Extreme Sports Enthusiast Aspiration.

Also in Snowy Escape, Sims with high enough Skiing and Snowboarding skills now can enjoy the more advanced slopes. Sims also use the Lift to go to the top of the slopes and not go “the hard way.”

Simmers can now rotate Sims downloaded from the Gallery in Create a Sim. Spin them ‘round, ‘round, Simmers ‘round, ‘round - like a record ‘round, ‘round, ‘round, ‘round.

The Sims 4

We made some improvements that should help our Simulation lag, particularly on the usage of some computer interactions like playing BlicBlock, along with fishing interactions, which should make the game perform a bit better. Note that this doesn’t entirely fix simulation lag but it should help and it is a step in a good direction.

Fixed an issue in which placing Mirrors directly opposite Doors would create a visual glitch in which walls and borders would disappear around them and well it was quite spooky to be honest, glad we solved that one!

Ever wish your food didn’t expire? I know I do, especially when it comes to traveling and coming back to see a fridge in pristine condition, that is a dream… but alas, it is not meant to be in life or in Sims. Fixed an issue in which traveling didn’t let food expire.

Sims stuck sleeping and couldn’t cancel that interaction? Not a product of a sci-fi film as I thought, but I can say that we have fixed this issue, well I hope.

You want to know how to not make my day, have my coffee brew endlessly but without giving me the coffee! Luckily the issue in-game about the Brew Coffee interaction being stuck has been fixed. Wasn’t it odd? Wait… Sleep and Brew Coffee were stuck in a mysterious loop? SUS.

If your Child Sims suddenly interrupted their computer sessions to draw on the activity table when Inspired, worry not, this should not happen after this update.

Fixed an issue that caused the “Items Removed” pop-up to appear when no items were removed from the game.

Fixed an issue in which setting Lots on Slipshod Mesquite would sometimes generate a crash of the game for some Simmers. The Lot couldn’t handle that much flavor.

Some blush and lipstick opacity sliders are back as they were greyed out.

Step-Parent/Child relationships are no longer missing in the Genealogy Panel. Similarly, other cases of broken families in the Genealogy Panel have been fixed as well. It is all about reconnecting or connecting with what is important.

Platforms will no longer raise in height automatically when creating new walls to intersect part of them.

We also fixed an issue in which if you placed platforms in basement levels and a staircase from the floor to the platforms, it would create this gap or hole in front of the stairs and Sims were not able to route correctly. You know, I have played many platformers in my lifetime, but do you imagine Sims trying to jump those gaps? I mean, I am called JumpFail for a reason… glad we fixed this one!

World view Lots that had some off-centered border have been adjusted.

Toddlers will no longer gain negative Sentiments against their parents randomly, especially the Festering Grudge Sentiment. I should not be laughing at this issue as I type it, I should not…<giggles>

We got word that the camera was malfunctioning and bouncing uncontrollably in some Lots across multiple Worlds. We fixed an issue that caused this, but let us know if there are new instances.

Sometimes Ghosts can be part of our Households if we choose to, however, it is really hard to live with Ghosts that constantly break things, it makes it a bit… unlivable. So our expert team of Simghostologists has communicated with these Ghosts in the non-physical realm and they have agreed to not break everything all the time.

Fixed an issue related to flooring glitches while placing the dance floor or crystal clear flooring.

Went through all the trouble in hiring a Nanny only to have your Toddler get sent to Daycare? More than a schedule conflict I imagine having the Nanny show up and there is no Toddler so what does the Nanny do in this case? Do they leave? Do they stay and wait? I must know… However, This should no longer be an issue.

Fixed an issue where using ‘{}’ (curly brackets) in renaming objects would make these invisible in lists or UI in general.

Fixed an issue in the Likes and Dislikes section in Create a Sim that had some categories displayed incorrectly (either cut off, or words broken apart in new lines incorrectly) for some languages.

There was a clipping issue with the eye preset ymAsian13_Eyes that occurred when Sims were in extreme emotion, like Angry, and blinked. We adjusted this preset so this should not occur.

Toddlers can be picky eaters, but Toddlers not eating any fish recipe? That is suspicious, so we had a chat with the little angels and we have found a way to help them enjoy the complex flavors of our fish recipes.

Our UI team has fixed an issue in which a scrollbar appeared in the Sentiment section in the Relationship Panel when there were no sentiments. The mysterious scrollbar was mysterious. Similarly, they have also fixed an issue in which if multiple Sims gained sentiments together their thought bubbles look quite not right with the incorrect colors, so now they should look proper.

The Likes and Dislikes icon in Create a Sim will no longer overlap its text. It looked weird, honestly.

Droids (if you own Journey to Batuu) and Drones (if you own Get Famous) clipping into all kinds of objects in Build Mode? We saw that too, so there should be a fix for that in this game update. I mean this went beyond just crashing into things…

The option “Join After School Activity” will no longer be available if Simmers don’t have Seasons or Get Famous packs installed.

Sims in deviant paths now can properly reach the Level 4 of the Criminal Career.

Now, this is one that made my day, Cowplants are now able to dance again when Sims play music in front of them. Dance Cowplant, Dance!

Fixed an issue in which relationship points gained by friendly introductions were more than usual if Simmers didn’t have Snowy Escape installed.

We adjusted the color swatches for the S. Cargeaux Counter Island so that when it gets dirty, the counter doesn’t completely change colors. Dirty Counter - who dis?

Fixed an issue where the Scared Emotion UI was displaying a broken pose for Toddlers. The pose was kinda more scary than what the Toddler had been scared of, so glad that is done.

Outfits worn while Purchased and Worn in Festivals/Kiosks/Stalls should no longer remove accessories that were in place for the Sim.

Error code 134:571e5862 that occurred to some Simmers should be fixed now.

We fixed a few hairstyles (yfHair_EP05WavyBob, yfHair_EP01PartedFlat, yfHair_EP05UnderCutDreads, yfHair_EP01ShortSwept, and yfHair_DreamyCrew) that when used with the recently added color options would create splotches in the eyes, change the color of teeth, and/or change the eyelashes color.

As always the Localization team and this author have fixed and improved text across all packs and updates.

Get to Work

Aliens can now enjoy their custom Blush options in Create a Sim. Lewks out of this world!

Retail employees will now appropriately change into their assigned outfits. Listen, I grew up wearing uniforms for school, I get it, sometimes they are not the prettiest… but you have to wear them if you have to go to that establishment. I know the pain too well… but my sense of style grew from that… I think.

We made a fix to some of the swatches from the Barely Better Digital Camera that were missing a description for the item, so now all the swatches will display the text in all its glory.

Get Together

Some of these Sims are not like the others, some of these Sims just don’t belong. Can you tell which are not like the others by the time I finish writing these notes?

Fixed an issue in which some of the rooftops in Winderburg were not displaying Snow (if you own Seasons) correctly.

Fixed an issue where Sims didn’t sometimes change into their Club outfits when a Club Gathering was being held.

City Living

The Scattered Panes window in Build Mode now displays appropriate shadows in all options.

Sims enrolled in the Social Media career will now gain influence at the end of their stream instead of every few Sim-minutes.

Two hairstyles (ymHair_EP03BunHighPins and ymHair_EP03BraidedFlateBun) have been updated to reflect the correct look when choosing the Neutral Black color option.

Your Sims want to shoot some Basketball Close Shots, but they are trying to eat first? Well, now your Sims can finish eating before trying those hoops. Nutrition is important!

Cats and Dogs

We fixed an issue in which whiskers were not being seen applied to Cats. A Cat without whiskers is like Peanut butter without Jelly… or something like that! Just wrong!

Robot Vacuums should all now return to their docks accordingly. I hope this issue was not a sign that they were becoming sentient.

Sims will no longer get a Moodlet referring to the death of their Pet when witnessing the death of another Sim. The loss of a Sim is heartbreaking, but also getting a Moodlet for the death of their Pet when the Pet has not died, that is cold Grimmy, very cold.

Speaking of Robot Vacuums becoming sentient a few lines above, we fixed an issue that made the game crash when Cats would sit on the Robot Vacuum. CatonRobot.exe is now working.

We fixed an issue in which some Simmers experienced a crash with their last played Household loading into Brindleton Bay.

Seasons

Sims were changing into their cold-weather gear… while not in cold weather? We had some conversations with Sims and even though they love their winter outfits, dressing up in full winter gear in the summer was probably not the wisest choice. So the issue in which Sims randomly would change into their winter outfits while not in winter is solved.

Egg Hunts are adorable and fun! But not being able to have the furniture reset after looking for Eggs in them, can be quite the rain on Sims’ parade. But this should no longer occur.

Island Living

Mermaids will no longer keep the “Dried Scales” Moodlet when they are hydrated. Mermaids’ skincare regimen pays off! Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

Fixed an issue in which Lots that are placed in the sand looked quite odd displaying all edges of the Lot when it rained.

Sims that have the Collector Aspiration Trait are now able to catch Frogs in Sulani as part of their adventures exploring the island waterfall. Good Luck!

We fixed an issue in which some Simmers experienced game crashes when loading into certain lots in Mua Pe’lam. Happy Exploring!

Discover University

Sims having a hard time in Uni? No matter what they do they keep failing classes? Worry not, Sims will no longer fail classes when meeting all the criteria for course completion. Work hard, pass your classes hard!

Having Roommates can be hard. Have your Sims had Roommates complain constantly and leave even when their needs are met? Yeah, we made it so that Roommates don’t do this any longer.

Fixed an issue in which beds were counted incorrectly when placing an ad for Roommates. I mean, as much as Pets and even Toddlers can live with Roommates, the ad should be truthful to how many beds there are actually in the Lot, not count Toddlers and Pets as needing adult-sized beds.

We fixed Servo animations so that they don’t look like they are walking on one leg when hovering to their destination. Now they will hover properly.

We fixed an issue in which in some instances Professors could not go to work when a Professor NPC is added into that same Household.

Fixed an issue in which removing and adding back Household members as Roommates would create some… inappropriate moments, ahem.

Eco Lifestyle

Evergreen Harbor’s peace has been restored: roads and parts of neighborhoods no longer disappear or turn blue when businesses open in Port Promise while the Modern Development N.A.P is active.

yfBody_EP09DressShirt no longer has a weird texture in some of the footwear from various packs, especially platform shoes and chunky sneakers.

Had you moved to Cypress Terrace in Willow Creek and found you couldn’t really do anything there? We fixed the routing failures and interaction failures on the Mitey-Mitey Home - Insect Farm.

Snowy Escape

Mountain Climbing can be challenging, even for those experienced. But having indecisive moments before a climbing route like getting off and on your bike constantly seems that a lot of doubt is passing your mind… However, we did speak to these Sims that were experiencing this behavior and calmed their fears and doubts, so this should no longer be an issue.

The hairstyle yfHair_EP10BobBluntOmbre now covers all of the Sim’s ears.

For Simmers who own Seasons together with Snowy Escape, rain options no longer affect snow.

Sims no longer have the option to give a respectful or military introduction during activities such as Dancing or Bike Riding. I mean, I’m not sure about you, but I can’t dance and respectfully introduce myself at the same time. So many falls… so many falls.

We made some corrections to the Slippers that came with this pack and they should no longer display a greenish texture on Sims’ toes when selected in Create a Sim. Yikes.

Fixed an issue in which for some Simmers playing with the Yoshida Hall Household would generate a game crash when loading into Mt. Komorebi.

We took a look at our Ramen menu and have updated our cooking menu to label Miso and Egg Ramen as Vegetarian safe options. Buen Provecho!

Want to run a Restaurant in Yukimatsu but also want to enjoy the slopes? Now your Sims can enjoy the slopes and dine in style. However, this action is only directed, and will not be autonomous. In the same vein, Restaurant employees will not be tempted to leave work to enjoy the slopes.

Journey to Batuu

Batuu is an awesome destination for those who want to enjoy something fun and different, but if you bought a Droid from the Droid Depot and never saw it in your inventory, I know how frustrating it can be. Never fear, the Droids you were looking for will appear now in Inventories when purchased.

In Journey to Batuu, the First Order ID no longer disappears from inventory so Sims now can Access First Order Plans for the Top Notch Trickery Mission.

Fixed an issue with the Leveling the Playing Field Mission in which the Scoundrel Informant would not appear on the scene after Sims stole the Prototype Blaster and went to Oga’s Cantina to wait for the informant.

Dine Out

Eggs and Toast sound super basic and easy right? They will continue to be that way for our unassuming Chefs on the Chef Station since we fixed an issue that made them… challenging. Sims can also use the second burner for other recipes without fail or routing out.

StrangerVille

The Decorations and Kid's categories in Build Mode should no longer have a "New" highlight when there's nothing actually new.

Dream Home Decorator

Lighting can change the ambiance of a room, and your mood in a flash. Luckily we have fixed an issue that lighting was not even on sectional sofas to continue to set the right mood for our Sims.

Our stylists fixed the Sleep ‘N’ Study Styled Room to remove the P.R.I.M.A Computer from it as this is not an item that is accessible for everyone, pardon our dust.

Laundry Day

Fixed an issue where an animation clipped when Sims were loading their laundry machines. Because having your clothes go through you is awkward, are Sims made of fabric? I don’t think so.

Bust the Dust

Don’t need Simoleons, don’t need Fame. Don’t need dinner to have this date. It’s strong and it’s sudden and it’s cruel sometimes but it might just end your night… the power of Dust, that’s the power of Dust.

Our cleaning agents have determined that Sims won’t get romantic negative Moodlets related to filthy levels of dust in public places like parks.
