Day 31 - Free day
I did it.
July 1st I started with the goal to complete Code July while going at my own pace, and I finally did it. It's incredible seeing the improvements I've made over the course of doing this. While I have no plans of fully completing Code July again for the next few years, I've got a few big-ish projects that I'm working on and I can't wait to share.
Thank you for following me and to everyone who cheered me on. I couldn't done this with all of you <3

Day 30 - Grown Up
Hi, welcome to ✨ Kitty makes everything more complicated for herself ✨
I have an ongoing Sims 3 save with the Lyoko Warriors living their lives as adults, and I could not resist the temptation to share it!
Odd currently works as a musician, living with his boyfriend Grady, their recently adopted daughter Ilaria (name provided by the lovely @cosmicpines), and dog Bamango (Kiwi is not with us on account of me forgetting to make him oops.)
William is doing very well for himself as a firefighter, recently making it to the top of the career, pictured with two of his co-workers.
Yumi and Ulrich are happily married, with their twin daughters Aimi (the brunette) and Hoshiko (who has albinism). Yumi is also expecting their second set of twins (that has been born during the drawing process).
Aelita and Jeremie are also married with a mini army that I am terrified may only grow larger if I do not keep a watchful eye on them lol. Waldo is their oldest, with twins (I promise I am not doing anything all of my sims just keep having twins) Alan and Maya, and baby Aster!
And if you excuse me, I have one more day to do.

I know Evo has the reputation of being a raging dumpster fire but I'm actually curious on if anyone else has actually watched it all the way through.

SCENE KID YUMI LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

I love your interpretation of Mizuki! You go so much of her right and the set up for her character arc I couldn't help but wonder if you some how took a peak at my plotting doc!
I've already read this around four or five times today and that number will only grow. This was such a lovely surprise to wake up to this morning, I wish words could properly express how much I adore this!
Just Pretend
Ummm, so...I got hit with inspiration. And you know what that means?
W R I T I N G
So, ummm...this is a drabble I did based on @kittysartbook's Echo AU (AKA Imposter Syndrome on Steriods(TM)).
Title, as always, is a metal song. Just Pretend by Bad Omens.
Anyway, enjoy the...ridiculous amounts of angst I put in this little thingy.
When she was born, the first thing she saw was walls and walls of 1s and 0s. Or well, the word 'born' didn't really apply to her. More like 'made' or 'created'...but still, 'born' made her feel more alive. More like the humans she was made to imitate.
When she was born, she had no name at first. After all, how do you give a name to a simple collection of data?
Then, the walls shifted, and suddenly, she was met with an all-seeing eye. Red like blood and staring at her.
It had no coporeal form, yet it felt omnipresent in every bit that made up her code. It had no voice, yet its demands dominated her processes.
'Replace The Geisha', it said. 'Replace Her And Destroy Her Allies.'
She didn't have any will at that point. All she was 1s and 0s, after all. And this voice was all that she had ever known outside of those walls of data.
So, she obeyed.
The eye then wrapped her in a digital shell. A shell of thousands and thousands of lines of code, made to synchronize with her and her master's wishes.
And so, when she was materialized into the world outside the data, she was not specter of code, formless and nigh-invisible.
Instead, she was wearing the skin of a human. The flesh, the bones, and the muscles of a human.
The human's name? Yumi Ishiyama.
Known to her master as the Geisha, one of the four humans opposing her master along with little Aelita, whom her master was silent to talk about.
She was given supplemental memories of how Yumi acted in the real world. Mainly her life at somewhere called 'Kadic Academy'.
Her main function was to obey her master...but as she kept walking around, she couldn't help but deviate.
The way the humans conducted themselves...it just seemed so cool to her!
Sure, she didn't really know about 'personalities' and those kind of subrountines...but as she kept walking around, eating food, talking with the humans in their French tongue...she couldn't help but fall in love with the meatspace.
However, despite this, she could not deviate too far from her master's wishes. She would always be halted by her master whenever she deviated too far from its plans.
At first, she obeyed it. It was the only reason she was even here, after all.
However, she grew to dislike the tightening leash around her neck.
Especially when her master ordered that she used force to beat a man named Jean-Pierre Delmas. She knew it was completely unlike the real Yumi to do this and she didn't want to do it.
She didn't want to hurt the humans she had fallen in love with.
But she had to. Her master wouldn't allow anything else.
An animosity grew inside her data as her master's plan unfolded, as she began to bruise and hurt her supposed sworn enemies.
An animosity that turned to guilt once she finally met the real Yumi Ishiyama.
It was at this point that her master decided to completely take her over, having lost her will to fight.
As much as her master demanded their deaths...she couldn't help but appreciate how human they were.
They loved and cared for each other, and were so worried about what really happened to their Yumi Ishiyama. And her memories only gave even more credence to this.
Yumi Ishiyama was a good person, fighting against the eye's evils at every turn along with her friends. She wished circumstances had been different and, when she was finally put to rest by her master as a failure, she wished she could help them.
She thought it would be the end of her existence...but then, it wasn't.
After so long spent in sleep, she awoke to the familiar light of the scanners.
She was still wearing the skin of Yumi Ishiyama...but her master's will and voice were completely devoid from her.
For the first time since she was born...she was free.
Free from her master's influence.
It was so overwhelming that she began crying. She didn't even know what that emotion was at the time, but now she knew: it was joy.
However, she came to a shattered band of friends.
Yumi Ishiyama...was no longer a free human.
She was a prisoner of her master- no, XANA.
She was a prisoner of XANA, a monster concealed in layers and layers of code.
The one that was desperate enough to summon her, the one named Jeremie Belpois, told her to simply act in Yumi's place, as she had under XANA's control.
...But she didn't want to do that.
She wanted to be free, to experience the world!
She wanted to try out so many different human things!
She wanted to experiment and finally live. She wanted to be truly human.
...But the warriors didn't want that. All of them scolded her for even trying, wanting her to simply be a replacement for their lost friend.
The only one that seemed to truly understand where she was coming from was Aelita. The strange being bound to Lyoko, the only one understanding why she wanted to be free.
However, despite this...she understood their pain completely.
Her brief time under XANA's control gave her a true view into how they loved and cared for each other. In actuality, she was probably meeting the Lyoko Warriors while they were grieving.
They were not like that all the time...they were just in pain.
And that, she could understand.
But...she could surely compromise between their wishes and her own.
Right?
Well, firstly, it didn't feel right using Yumi's name to refer to herself.
She was already wearing Yumi's skin...she didn't want to also steal her name.
So, she picked a new name.
One that she could use to seperate herself from her purpose.
And she landed on one after reading a few Japanese books: 'Mizuki'
And while she couldn't be too flamboyant with her tastes in public...she could easily experiment while the rest of the world wasn't looking.
Fashion, music, art, Mizuki was ready to conquer them all!
...Still, it hurt seeing the people in Yumi's life.
The way she had to smile and put on a mask as she had to look at the longing and worrisome faces of her family, concerned about the complete sudden shift in how their 'daughter' acted now.
The way she had to hold back the tears as her colleagues (She couldn't call them friends. They didn't want anything to do with her outside of Lyoko) pushed her away.
Still, she'll carry on and march forward. She'll experience as much as she can of this meatspace while she's here, and help bring back Yumi.
Maybe then, she could have a chance to forgive her for taking her place for so long.

Finally made a proper reference for my baby <3! She is apart of my story Imposter Syndrome (or echo!Au). The general plot can be read here.
Mizuki was originally by Xana for the sole purpose of replacing Yumi on earth to destroy the scanners. The plain failed miserably and Mizuki's coding was stored away in the supercomputer to gather dust. That is until the real Yumi fell into the digital sea and fished out by Xana. Jeremie now in a panic, trying to find away to cover up Yumi's disappearance manages to dig out Mizuki's coding and completely strip Xana's control of her, bringing her to Earth. After all she's a clone of Yumi, they should be completely identical right? Only she isn't. Mizuki is a painfully shy girl, stumbling over her feet and her words (and of course the out-casting from her 'friends' does not help). She has a passion for art, music, and fashion, the last one often causing trouble with her ruse as 'Yumi'. Mizuki has trouble with balancing her 'duty' as pretending to be Yumi, while also exploring her own interests and personality. She's trying her best to truck through this with a smile... Even if it's when someone Ulrich treats her... less then kind. Her power on Lyoko is the ability to generate hard light that can come out in one of two ways: A barrier to block attacks, and later temporary platforms, and a more basic attack that can slice through Xana's monsters.

I normally try to keep this blog mostly to do with things regarding my art and wips, but this has more reach then my main blog. Make sure you go into your settings on Tumblr and turn on the Third Party blocker. Midjourney, an extremely popular AI art generator, is rumored (to my current understanding, there could be documents proving it to be true) getting data from a new deal from the higher ups of Tumblr. Private posts included. The wording of the switch leads me to believe it's true, so I will be using Glaze and Nightshade on all of my pictures I upload from now on. If you don't know, Glaze and Nightshade are programs to fuck over AI (Glaze creates 'noise' to stop style mimicry, although I doubt anyone is interested in copying my style lol. Nightshade is designed to overlay a drawing that trips up AI an 'poisons' their data pool). Please keep your works safe and fingers crossed the AI craze dies soon.
