3. Are there other characters you’re interested in rping or wish to?
The characters I'm obsessing over now are all Tokyo Revengers muses (as you know, LOL), so I'm trying to write down little notes in gdocs when I get ideas. But yeah I think I just might end up playing everybody at this rate.
Maybe Tifa???? I always felt like she had so much untapped potential considering what she survived and went through, like it would make more sense if SHE was the MC of FF7 over Cloud if someone really hates Shinra and has actual personal beef against Sephiroth. I actually thought her Remake personality was pretty lame in that respect, like "but but but i durn wanna hurt ppl :/ uwuwuwu", given her history it would make TOTAL SENSE that she'd believe even Fuhito's book of crazy is the answer to the Planet's ills.
Her dynamic is Cloud is pretty weird and toxic as well, so I'd be open to like exploring that and just seeing where it goes and if they can somehow move beyond it or what??? I never really see people acknowledging it's a thing, it's like the elephant in the room that everyone ignores because then it gets in the way of their 5evur tru otp.
6. Other characters/muns you’re interested in roleplaying with?
I kinda want more crossovers or reasons to come up with new verses for Jae, I just like trying to shoehorn him into someone else's lore and see what happens, LOL.
And of course Verdot... There is just SO MUCH to unpack there.
18. Your muse’s theme song.
Toss up between Yuu Miyashita's cover of Kilmaa as his origin story & Gero's cover of SHANTI as his start of darkness.
21. Three big no-nos to do or say to your muse. (their ‘berserk button’)
Call him one or imply that he is coward.
Insult Verdot/his memory.
Bring up his sister and claim he is now 'the same' as the people who kept them captive (rest in fucking pieces, btw).
24. Send ✍ for the mun to take a crack at imitating your muse. Can be a small silly reply or a more in-depth take. ( Add + plus a scenario or who they’re talking to if you’d like to be more specific)
The streets always seemed to be empty during this hour of the day, the occasional beggar shaking a rice bowl for alms. It was to be expected, they were at war and even when the radio promised victory or death for the glory of Wutai, certain sacrifices had to be made. Three dried fish, 1.8 ounces of pork fat, a sweet potato plant taken from the vegetable fields converted from his elementary school's play yard- All to feed a family of four. If they needed more protein, they'd dig through the backyard to find beetle larvae and roast them with horsetail reed. Watery gruel made from rice day after day, soup broth made from boiled sardine and miso. That was their reality.
His mother took him to the black markets in search of sugar and he'd gawked at all of the items their government claimed to have outlawed- Fine bolts of silk, expensive inks and watercolors, luxury seasonal produce like watermelon. He never asked why or how they hadn't all been confiscated, grateful simply to know that such things still existed and were available- albeit at an inflated price.
Their homeroom teacher was arrested a week later for circulating illegal literature. He and his classmates watched from the bay windows as piles of handwritten and string-bound copies of censored material were burned to ash right in the PE field. His teacher had a rucksack placed over his head and was loaded into the back of a covered military wagon. Even after it had disappeared beyond the school gates, they could hear the rifle's gunshot crack across the sky.
One day, he found a cookbook that had belonged to his nai nai and spent most of his day leafing through it's pages, staring dreamily at glossy photos of pan-seared green beans, black bean sauce with kai lan and giant scallop, salted fish and mushroom stew cooked in a clay pot. It became almost ritualistic, reading each ingredient of every recipe and imagining the taste… the texture of each dish. He swore that he would sit down and eat at least one of his favorites picked from the back index- As soon as the war was over.
Once the war was over, everything would go back to normal.

Truth Comes to Light
Since I was a teenager, I was subjected to abuse by men who manipulated me to trust them.
*This is not an “anti-men” spew/blog. There are women involved, too. But the fact is, these men hurt me, manipulated me, gaslit me, groomed me, and then slandered my reputation with no consequences because no one gave a fuck about that kind of thing 10 years ago. I have spoken with justice departments for the past abuse, I was told I could file a report and have it “on hand” if these people continue to bother me/slander me/gangstalk me. I deleted the evidence, because when I tried to make police reports when these incidents first happened, I was blown off, laughed at, and ignored, by people who are suppose to protect teenagers from predatory adults, and trauma in general. I deleted the evidence because i got sick of being reminded of the pain...if I had hindsight and knew these people would continue to torment me, I would’ve kept it. Never delete anything. And to the 14-15 year olds out there thinking they’re special for talking to an older man...he is using you, he will leave you broken, with no care for you. Do not fall for the grooming and manipulation.
I will not be naming names. For the sole purpose of
1. These people will come across this blog, and know its about them.
2. I am not speaking to them, I am speaking to their souls...if there is any left present.
3. I do not want to fuel their fire. They can feel free to get mad about this, and expose themselves. They will not receive anymore of my energy.
4. If something happens to me, this is public information. The proper Justice Departments know the names of these people. I do not need the internet to go after them.
5. I am not out to ruin their lives. All I ask is they own up to what they’ve done/are doing TO THEMSELVES and STOP doing it. They are ruining their own lives just fine, they are miserable which is why they harass me and continue to try and steal my energy and tear my life down. These people have left their friends to die of ODs, they do not want to be exposed, it is their greatest fear.
When I was 15 years old, I met a guy at a local show through friends. He was pretty popular amongst the ladies, but I wasn’t into him like that. I saw him as a big brother, and he even agreed. One day he offered me to hangout, I accepted. When we got to his house, he kissed me and I didn’t really know how to react. Then it turned into making out, which turned into him fingering me. It all happened very quickly. I told him I was uncomfortable, and he knew I am a virgin and I don’t want my first time to be like this. He didn’t believe me. He over-powered me, bent me over, and raped me. He only stopped when he saw blood, and realized what he’d done. This man threatened my life if I went to the police. He was 20. I was 15. Of course I believed him. This man now has a wife and a child. I wish I had gone to the police, and still regret it to this day. I did confront this man before I got off social media. He told me some man I literally never met, told him that he took my virginity. I quickly realized this man I had never met was a scapegoat for his actions. When I called him out on it, he blocked me. I never told anyone about this, besides recently told a trusted friend, and then contacted authorities to see if there was anything that could be done/if evidence could be salvaged. You know who you are. Admit what you did. And stop slandering me. YOU made the choice to do what you did. I told you to STOP, NO, STOP, NO, I AM A VIRGIN, STOP.
Later in the year, I met a senior who went to my school. He was new, and came from another state. I hungout with older people most of the time, so we ended up chatting. I had a really big crush on him. He was 19 years old. We were in the same friend group on some occasions, and ended up clicking and exchanging numbers at one point. He told me he liked me, and wanted to be with me “but he could go to prison”. We did exchange photos during that time. 3 months before I turned 16, we began officially dating, or so I thought. It turns out, this man never told anyone we dated. When I made it public on my myspace page(lmfao) His Ex girlfriend flipped out on both me, and him, and threatened to send him to jail. He then told me we could “date in secret”...he was hooking up with girls his age the whole time. While making me out to look like a crazy, obsessed “little girl”. Well, you slept with me. You admitted to me that you used me. You even made a tumblr post about me how I was like a “dead fish in bed” because I had told all the girls you fucked behind my back what you were doing to me. I took this guy to New York...I never held his age over his head...I never wanted to cause him any pain. Literally, all I had for this man was “love”, really a stupid girl crush, but at the time it was my perception of “love”. It wasn’t until he made the tumblr post, that I threatened to go to the police, and its because I was horrified he’d made our sexual acts public...let alone sexual actions with a minor. This man then guilt tripped me into how his “life would be ruined” if I were to go to the police. Recently, his friends..who I didn’t know at first were his friends...started drama on the internet..they then doxxed my home address and phone number and called me threatening me under the false guise of one of their boyfriends being a police officer, when he is not (thats a felony btw...oof) If you are reading this, please leave me alone. You caused me a lot of trauma when I realized the truth about “us”, you caused me a lot of trauma when you made that tumblr post about me and made me out to look like a whore. I “loved” you, in a stupid teenager way. You knew I was struggling with God, you knew I was struggling with my family members death, and you sunk your claws into me, and to this day refuse to admit to others what you have done to me, hence your friends targeting and harassing me. You, are a sick coward. I don’t even want you to admit anything, at this point. I just want you to fuck off and eventually burn in Hell like you’ve always gloated about doing. Also seems like your literal, self-proclaimed, witch wife is sucking out the remnants of your soul, anyways. I hope this paragraph gives you a panic attack, karmas a bitch.
When I was 16, one of my friends joined a local band. I did date the one member for about 2 weeks, but he lived in a different state and we never actually hungout, so because of this we broke up. I still saw them at local shows, and my friend was still in the band. I assumed we were all friends/acquaintances, whatever. One day around 5-6PM, the one guy texts me and invites me out to a local show, he is covering for the drummer in his friends band. He assured me everyone else would be there, and he could give me a ride home. Once I arrived, he told me their set was over and tossed his bracelet on to the ground, and told me to “pick it up if I wanted to get in for free”. I asked him if that was a joke, and he said no. Things got very awkward, and tense..and they told me they wanted to get going. They then tell me, if I want a ride home, I would have to give them both blowjobs. I thought it was a joke. Until they actually left me there. Two weeks later, the one guy names a song after me, and told everyone it was about me. This song, was not written about me and was written about the lead singers ex girlfriend of the other band. I want to thank the vocalist for owning up to the truth, as he thought it was disgusting, too. The drummer, gave it a malicious name intertwining with mine as retaliation of me rejecting him. The bands involved in this were _______ pending legal consequences* I am also speaking to a lawyer about suing for slander, sexual harassment, endangerment of a minor (the one guy was 18), and emotional/mental abuse. If you guys are reading this, enjoy being extradited to my state for court. Once/If that is settled I will be posting their full names and court documents. If you are reading this, and want to avoid court, admit to what you have done. I will not hold it over your head in a legal manner. I will accept your apology, as long as you make it public like you made my slander and harassment and trauma, I had to relive that night everytime someone mentioned that band title. You two, hurt me that night. You knowingly lured me out to a show, in attempts to get sexual favors from me so I could get a ride home. The friends I met with after you left me for saying No, have also written statements against you both. The choice is yours.
I will stop here for tonight. For the next story is a long, complicated rollercoaster.
To give you a summary:
I met this man in 9th grade, and we were on & off from my sophomore year until late 2016, when I finally left him for becoming physically abusive. It is a long, long story. To this day, he attempts to torment me, and literally gang stalks me through his groupies, who are mostly women (jezebels)
Read my stories. Share them. Learn from them. Don’t do what I did. If you ever come across people like this, cut them off with no explanation. These people will gaslight you, manipulate you, torment you, feed you drugs, and try and drive you to suicide. They will do everything they possibly can to not be exposed once you see who they truly are,so don’t let them know you know, and just quietly walk away.

YOOO TIGER I SAW YOU'VE BEEN HIDING UWU HERE. I HUMBLY REQUEST MORE MY GOOD LADY. DEKUxOCHAKO PLS. MAYBE DEKU ACCIDENTALLY CONFESSES AND THEN THE TWO OF THEM GET STUCK IN AN ELEVATOR IDK JUST LOTS OF UWU AND GOOD FEELS. THIS IS NOBLE BTW I DONT HAVE TUMBLR SO THIS IS WHAT YOU GET
Well I don’t have elevators but I do have confessions ;3
~~
It was girls night (plus Eijirou and Katsuki) and they were playing truth or dare. 
Because of course they were. 
So far the dares have been, letting Mina do their nails (to Katsuki. He liked them, but didn’t show it), making Kyoka sing a cheesy pop song, Tooru confessing her love to Ojiro (cute stuff man, cute stuff) and having Momo do Eijirou’s hair. 
Then Katsuki looked Ochako in the eyes and she knew she was dead. 
She was so dead.
“Ochako. Truth or dare?” He asked, cocking an eyebrow. She narrowed her eyes, she knew he’d call her a coward (well...a more vulgar way of saying it) if she choose truth. And she knew he and Mina were in cahoots. 
And if she choose dare....
“Dare.” God damn her mouth.
Katsuki grinned, her blood ran cold. “I dare you to confess to Deku. Fucking do it. And if you don’t...” he looked over at Mina, who had the bowl of punishments. Ochako shuddered. After watching Tsu chicken out and have to eat sardines, yeah she’d rather grit her teeth and bare it. 
“Fine. When?”
“He’s training outside right now. So now.”
She felt her face heat up. 
Well shit.
She stood on shaking legs, her heart beating quickly. 
Well if she was going to confess to Izuku on a dare, she was going to do it her way. 
The dumbass way. 
~~
She stood on the roof, immediately regretting her decision to agree to this dumb ass dare. 
She sighed, it was better than eating fish. Just remember that Ochako. 
She lifted the megaphone, closed her eyes, and started yelling. “HEY IZUKU! I HAVE FEELINGS FOR YOU AND YOU ARE GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEM!” She yelled, her legs shaking. 
Izuku looked up at her, eyes glowing. He looked terrifying. And really cool. 
His mouth was swinging open, red flying to his face at the speed of sound. She let a scared smile loose.
Then he disappeared. She whirled around, he was fast. A moment later he was standing beside her. “Wow you’re fast,” she breathed. He was still red. 
“U-Uraraka...?” He asked, voice soft. Her face grew red with his. God she fucked everything up. Yep she did. Should’ve gone with truth. 
She was going to kill Katsuki when she got back. 
“Did...did you mean it?” He asked. She nodded, wordlessly. She was going to kill blasty boy. A smile grew across his face, slow and sure. She blinked. “I...I like you too,” he whispered. 
She blinked. 
It was like the spinny wheel of death was over her head as she thought about he was saying. 
“wHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!”
He laughed, brushing her hair out of her face. “Well you confessed first.”
She narrowed her eyes. “Yes but-”
He brushed a finger over her upper lip, causing her to shut up. He saw what he was doing, and jumped back. “AhI’msosorryIdidn’tmeantoIwasn’thtinking-”
She leaned forward and kissed his cheek, laughing. He shut up, arms flying around his head. “I like ya Deku.”
“I uh I ahahaha,” he sputtered. She giggled harder, before he stopped, looking at his feet. She stopped laughing. “I...I like you too. A lot actually. A lot more than I intended to.”
She smiled softly. “Me too.”
He watched her. “C-Can I kiss you?” Her eyes widened, and she nodded. He leaned forward and kissed her. 
It was messy, sloppy, and clumsy. Their noses bumped, and they knocked foreheads. They laughed, they were so inexperienced. 
But she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Okay maybe Katsuki wasn’t all that bad.
He was still dead though.

Some People Be Shitting on My Girl Ariel
And I am here to tell you why saying shit like "Ariel left her family for d*ck whereas Moana did it to save her village" is not on.
Ariel from the very start of the movie is shown to have a profound fascination with the human world. Her passion for anthropology is such that she befriended the only bird who'd come near her and avidly listens to him to collect every tidbit of information about humans that she can get.
In the famed song "Part of that World" she sings about how she longs to "ask them my questions and get some answers", which goes to show that she often feels ignored and tossed aside when she expressed curiosity. Her interests don't matter. Her concerns are invalid. (There's a lot of proof of this in the prequel where we see her dad completely ignore her when she tries to make a point about music and how Atlantea should have it.)
She also sings about wanting to be somewhere where "they don't reprimand their daughters", showing once again that she feels scorned and diminished. Powerless.
She doesn't sing about wanting to go to balls and meet dudes to thirst on. She sings about wanting to explore a new world, discover a new culture and - hopefully - better her own fate by going to a place she, although knowing little about it - feels and hopes is more progressive than her world in certain key areas, namely the respect given to young women.
Lo and behold, she sees a mortal man and is infatuated. Saves him. Sings to him. Bonds with him in the throes of danger. This is the first time she is close to the object of her passion - a real live human - and he is fascinating and male and pretty damn fine.
We don't know how much contact Ariel has with merman, but her best friend is a literal fish, her chaperone is a crab and like... do we see Ariel interact with any mermen? Or her sisters? Never. This isn't conclusive evidence but considering how tight a leash Triton tries to keep her on, I honestly wouldn't be shocked if she just plain wasn't allowed to talk to guys - tailed or legged - that were even remotely sexually compatible with her ever. So yeah.
She's out and about unsupervised, saves a hot dude, spends the night high on adrenaline and feeling like a powerful heroine while in the closest proximity she's ever been to a man who isn't her dad EVER... and the night before she'd seen him singing and dancing and being generally good humoured and not a jerk? She is going to fall hard and fast.
That's not a character flaw, okay. I repeat. FALLING IN LOVE ISN'T A CHARACTER FLAW.
It doesn't make her silly or weak or stupid to fall head over heels for a guy who represents everything she finds inspiring in a very short time. It makes her *sixteen*, her canon age, if I'm not mistaken. Hormones are high, mood is lit, guy is attractive. She's going to be attracted. She is going to love him. Love what he represents. Novelty. Freedom. Joy. Adventure.
Most of all, she's going love what he inspires in her: courage, strength, daring. And yeah, beauty and sexiness too.
He makes her feel more powerful than she's EVER felt before and they haven't even spoken yet! Unsurprisingly, she is going to confuse attraction and a feeling of empowerement with "true love", especially if she's never been told she was powerful before.
Ariel has been told she's pretty and sings well and all she's good for is sitting tight in her shell and combing her hair and performing for concerts.
As someone whose father has told them - and I quote - "the only thing I know that you can do well is sing" (ouch...), it smarts okay. It *hurts* to want more and be reduced to your voice. Unsurprising that Ariel didn't see trading it as a big deal.
By the time she goes to see Ursula, she has *saved a man's life* in the middle of a raging storm while the sea was on *fire*. Her chaperone has betrayed her leading to her father disrespecting her one time too many and then *destroyed* her most valuable possessions to "teach her a lesson". She is in love and angry and empowered. And he expects her to what? Go home and fucking *sing*?
Honestly, if Ursula hadn't asked for her voice, she'd probably have offered it up anyways in exchange for one (1) Atlean salt-and-vinegar chip.
So... keep in mind that this is the mindset of the girl who "gave up her world and family for d*ck".
Her dad's a jerk. Her sisters don't share her interest or understand her. Her best friend is a *fish* and just not able to keep up or truly connect with her the way she wishes he could. She is *lonely*. She is young. She is a girl.
And do you know what girls are taught? They're taught that the only thing that will make them feel more powerful than being in love... is being someone's mom. Ariel is too young to care about motherhood. But she is the perfect age to buy the "true love is the most powerful feeling you will ever experience" bullshit hook, line and sinker.
So if she feels empowered around a man? A good looking man at that? Must mean she's madly in love with him.
And see... this narrative... it isn't just Ariel who has it. She has spent *years* passionate about humanity and its culture only to be dismissed, mocked or forbidden to explore her interests at every turn. Her troves, build over years of exploration, is annihilated in *seconds*. Her father has NO respect whatsoever for her desire to learn about humans.
Ariel's true passion: anthropology of humanity is completely invalidated. No one sees it as something of value in this girl, much less something that might empower her enough to seek out the sea witch and give up her tail and voice to pursue. Least of all her.
And yet, it is. I am willing to bet that if she'd gone home after talking to Flotsam and Jetsam, the idea of seeking out the sea witch would have stayed there and within a decade, she'd have gone anyways.
The thing is... the interest of women and girls aren't taken seriously. They're "childish" and "immature" and "unimportant". The most important thing a woman can do is be in a relationship with a man and then a mother, or so we're told. That's why even accomplished career women are seen as having something fundamentally missing if they're single.
My point is... Ariel didn't abandon her family and home to chase after a guy she hadn't even talked to yet.
She abandoned her family and home to chase after a dream she'd had for years. The guy was a side quest that temporarily obsessed her because hormones and also threat of doom via seawitch... but folks. The sheer *delight* on that girl's face during her carriage ride through town is not the face of a woman whose biggest concern in life is getting married. You know... when her life isn't under threat if she doesn't.
What you should be pissed off about isn't that a sixteen year old dared fall in love with a guy who made her feel powerful, even though she didn't know him. And it's not that said sixteen year old was willing to trade the things OTHER PEOPLE told her were her most valuable assets (family that doesn't value her as a person, home she wants to leave, singing ability that has been used to demean her to a useless pretty thing)...
What you should be pissed off about... is that Triton thought it was okay to destroy the trove his daughter worked years towards. Would have NEVER allowed her to trade her legs and voice to go be human just for the sake of learning and enjoying human culture...
But was *blessing* her decision to do just that when framed under the lense "I'm in love with this dude I've know for less than a week and I'm gonna marry him, unfortunately tail's gotta go to make that happen and I'm never coming home ever."
He would have dragged her back kicking and screaming if she'd asked to leave so she could go pursue her passion. No amount of "proving herself worthy" would have made that an okay thing for her to do. But because it's "true love"... sure. Fine. She can go. He's fulfilled his fatherly duties anyways and made sure she's done the most important thing a daughter can do: marry a rich dude.
The moral of this story is...
A. Stop shitting on women for falling in love. It doesn't make them less worthy or their decisions less legitimate.
B. Stop shitting on women for confusing feeling empowered with falling in love when they're told about how amazing and magical the latter is and don't even know the former is exits, a lot of the time.
C. Start shitting on people for giving more legitimacy to the concept of "true love" as a motivator for making huge life changes than they do to shit like "because this thing interests me and I like it a lot and it makes me feel good when I do it". Start shitting on people for making a woman seeking a sense of fulfillment not worth a happy ending unless there's a romance too.
D. Moana was super selfish for wanting to leave her home to go explore even though she had a good family and her island was happy. And that's *okay*. Women are allowed to want things for themselves. They don't exist to please others and pacify their societies. Good on her for saving her village though.
E. Ariel was super selfish for wanting to leave her home to go explore even though her family was arguably much less awesome than Moana's. And that's *okay*. Good on her for meeting a dude she liked, falling for him and making the relationship last and be, as far as Ariel II shows us, a pretty decent one. WOMEN ARE ALLOWED TO WANT ROMANCE and it doesn't make them frivolous, even if they want it more than the "important" shit they're told they should be interested in instead. (Not that Ariel's main interest was romance, btw)
F. Women are allowed to be happy dammit. Be it via romance or career or hobby or academics or all of the above or *none* or other.
Just let women be happy without putting one down in favour of the other and shitting on them.
Ariel is a *great* movie and Ariel is a badass character and she is smart and extremely competent and *brave* and strong and good and anyone who says otherwise is a superficial coward whose forgotten what it feels like to be 16 and disrespected. In this essay I will...

Magnificent Seven (1960) warning heavy spoilers ahead
Okay, compadres you ready? I’m leaving a few things out cause some of it just doesn’t make sense but for the most part, I didn’t leave anything out so that means there is a lot of cursing so be prepared for that
(Okay I got cookies, plans to make popcorn later and the Seven stupidest men ever about to come on my screen yeehaw mfs)
(This theme song is a bop, Elmer Bernstein is a genius)
Huh wonder who’s the bad guy, can’t be the dude in red (haha jk he’s an ass)
“I’ll be back” (what is he the Terminator)
“Stupid” well yeah the guy running at you with a machete (?) wasn’t the smartest but you didn’t have to kill him
I actually love how everyone is wearing white (like yeah I know white doesn’t absorb sun well so that’s why) it just makes everything really picturesque and almost heavenly you know
All these guys have fantastic ideas about how to take care of the problem and the head honcho is like ‘really tricking the man who just shot one of our own is not going to work don’t be stupid’
“Let's go ask the old man” we about to get Godfather in this bitch
(It was a machete hell yeah I knew it)
“Buy guns?” “Go to the border guns are plentiful there” Dude that hurts but it’s very very true
(There are so many parallels to the pilot I love it)
We getting racist in this bitch and in rides, Chris like the suicidal idiot he is and Vin is just like I’ll help you go bury an Indian who deserves proper respects like the man we know and love (ugh love this)
Literally used his boot to light a match, Chris stop being extra
And the whole town is following them like it’s the best thing to happen since… I don’t know a herd of cows came through town… (Man aren’t we lucky for the internet)
Love how the second Vin hears a slur Chris is like hold your horses buckaroo it’s just the wind (cause apparently the wind is racist all of a sudden)
Who is this person following them like a puppy (Jd anyone, although I know that’s not his name in the movie but he sure is acting like it)
Well, the graveyard scene left two people bleeding and no other corpses than the one they started with. Larabee, Tanner, and Jackson should take notes
“We think you’re a man we can trust” Bitch I wouldn’t trust Chris as far as I can throw him (I love him but the boy doesn’t have a great track record)
What’s with the fuchsia bag did they even have fuchsia back then? (Apparently fuchsia came to America in 1892 so I don’t know)
“Every man wears a gun” “Sure, like wearing pants, its expected” good lord Chris
What kind of clapping game is this
I really don’t understand Craps 
These guys are just mocking Vin about going to work at a grocery store and I’m living for it
And Chris you got three including yourself, Harry and Vin learn to count idiot
Those two just get off their horses with such grace I could watch that 100 times and still be entranced  
“I heard you’re broke” “Nah I’m doing this because I’m an eccentric millionaire” (Good lord O’Reilly, he is now a new fave of mine)
What the fuck is up with Chris’s hips like why is he swaggering like some hotshot
And if O’Reilly is so expensive what the fuck did he do with the money to make him end up dirt poor and cutting wood
Britt has the longest, lankiest legs I have seen on a man in a very long time
What game were they playing bullets are expensive stop messing around
Oh no the kid’s drunk and mad wonder what the hell he’s gonna do (probably something stupid)
This bitch with his wacky accent I can’t take him seriously, he just needs to chill
Okay I didn’t mean for you to collapse
Chris just fucking left him on the floor good lord
Okay everyone needs to dial the sass from 150 to a nice steady 50 cause damn
The kid is so so stupid, and Harry is just as worried about him as Buck was it's sweet
“What a chucklehead” (good lord I feel that)
Wtf the kid just caught a fish with his bare hands (that might take him out of the running for being Jd who couldn’t catch a fish even if it was handed to him)
Okay the TV show is just full of idiots, the movie makes them out to be brilliant assholes and I don’t know which one I prefer
Okay who names their child Hilario like that just isn’t right (like it’s fine but it’s too close to hilarious for me to take it seriously)

She’s wearing pants- is that accurate
Vin is sipping that juice like a good boy 
The boys are so sweet and it makes me emotional

O’Reilly is adorable- and has some goddamn sense and is willing to use violence (spanking of minors which I don’t exactly approve of) to show that being a gunhand is coward’s work
 “In Texas, only Texans can rob banks” wow did he just call our government and the whole state of Texas racist (yes I think he did)
Chico has some issues that he needs to see a therapist for (guess Chris will do though he needs about as much counseling)

The Red Herring: A Sims 3 Survival Challenge
here’s the little personal rules i’m playing by for this little challenge. if anyone wants to give it a spin go ahead. big note: i’m really bad at trying to write a challenge.
Short description:
You’ve been left for dead in the middle of nowhere. Waking up with no memory of who you are, head throbbing and body beat up, you’re lucky enough to have a lighter on you. You try to survive the elements to find out the truth. Can you make it? 
this was made to be a super hardcore sims challenge. no mercy. okay maybe some lowkey mercy.
are you ready to PARTY? HERE WE GO
(super long btw)
Expansions:
Seasons and World Adventures are a must. I play with all the EP’s however but this is the essential duo.  ITF is preferred for the Unstable trait. (I’m not sure where the “Relax Here” terrain interaction comes from, either Island Paradise or Seasons? but that’s handy. )
Mods:
NRaas Tempest, Traveler, Register... maybe just the whole suite. but these are the most important.
World:
Must be empty. Roadless or one main road is preferred (streets would kill the vibe right?) but those are super hard to come by. The worlds I’ve played with are Tres Lagos (desert world) and Timber Ridge (alpine/forest roadless world - you’re gonna need either a decent computer or patience to deal with the lag of snow coming through) . 
Desert Version goal: 
Try not to burn to death.
Alpine Version goal: 
Try not to freeze to death. 
Ultimate Goal: Live long enough to save up 1600 simoleons (I believe that’s the price needed) so you can travel to a new town using the Traveler mod, the one closest to you geographically of course. Think of simoleons as energy and stamina.
before you begin
you will need to place community lots and a residential lot if the world is like Tres Lagos and is completely empty. Entering BuyDebug mode, you can only place 1 spawner per lot, or 1 auto soil. They can only be common plants. The area is very barren and hardly arable. On larger lots you can place more than one spawner (on a 64x64 lot you can add a maximum of 5).
on a community lot, create a small basement (1x1 is fine) and place a computer in there. you can access NRaas here.
NRaas Register settings:
Turn off tourists and paparazzi . You can have animals roaming around if you like. In the desert world you can have a maximum of 6 horses, 0 strays, 0 deers, and any racoons (but they just knock over your figurative trash can). In the alpine world, you can have 4 horses max, 0 cats, maybe 1 dog (think of it as a lone wolf), and any amount racoons too.
NRaas Tempest settings:
Desert world - you can turn off all seasons with the exception of summer i guess. make the days HOT, and I mean HOT. Like at high risk, epidermis on fire hot! Nights gotta be chilly, but bearable.
Alpine world - turn on all seasons. using tempest, set the temperatures as cold all year round, the “summer” being bearably cold, and the winter being the coldest. Winter nights are DEADLY cold, hypothermia on nightly basis. You better make sure your sim can make a shelter before the nights get fatal! 
I play by Celsius (i’m kiwi). I have my desert world settings at 45 C max, 7 C min; alpine settings is 10 C max, -20 C min (i may have went lower).
NOW THE ACTUAL PARTY BEGINS!
Making your Sim:
Basics:
Name can be anything. For my desert run, I hit randomiser and got Ty Herring as a name, thus this challenge was born. For the alpine run, I simply named my sim “(unnamed person)”.
No occults. They have advantages. Unless you want to make a vampire or mermaid suffer in the desert but that’s another story. No werewolves or witches cos they can most definitely help themselves.
Any gender, race, and age. Well, Young Adult to Elder. If you want to do torture a minor then you’re gonna need the NRaas Mover and Integration mod. I haven’t played a child only household so I can’t tell you how that would work out (and this was not intended for a cHILD OKAY)
Appearance:
Clothes. Dirty textures. if you can get CC that looks worn out then awesome. Make all their outfits the similar, all they have is the clothes on their back (and a lighter, remember). Swimwear and Sleepwear would be the same, maybe they needed to tie their shirt around their hips when working out. Maybe you can give their outfit a story behind it, a clue behind your sim’s old style....
If you got CC injury makeup, go all out with it.
Traits:
you can NOT give them anything that would help your sim out! Your sim, most likely a city slicker who’s never seen a leaf in their life, they can’t just automatically wake up all alone and injured and go “Oh my!! I love the outdoors! I love to fish and collect things! This is going to be a lovely hiking trip!”
NO! They’re scared out of their minds! They can’t even remember their own name dude! Traits like Coward, Neurotic, Hates the Outdoors... PERFECT for this situation. I don’t wanna see any traits like Green Thumb (ESPECIALLY), Angler, Athletic, Brave... Loves the Outdoors.. Loves the Heat, Loves the Cold... Gatherer... Those traits are BANNED when creating your Sim intially. You get the jist. For storytelling purposes you can throw in the Unstable trait, where the traits change after a night’s sleep because your sim is trying to figure out who they are... Any traits gained here can be considered growth.
misc.
sign, favs.... randomised. it can be anything.
Playing the game:
Place your sim on a residential lot. The placement isn’t ideal for your sim. They were dumped on the side of a highway maybe, or somewhere far out away from roads or water. With your money you can buy geographically appropriate plants to hide the letter box and trash cans (I believe sims can route through bushes but I’m probably wrong). You are not allowed to sell these bushes for money after this.
Buy your firepit. Because of the nature of spawners, your sim is allowed to roast marshmallows ONCE in their first week.
Call for services and cancel the newspaper delivery.
If you have Island Paradise or Seasons (again idk where the Relax Here interaction comes from) you can nap for energy. If you don’t have that interaction you can buy a bench.
Use the familyfunds cheat or NRaas to remove any money you have left. zero buckerinos
Optional: if you have NRaas StoryProgression, you can click on your sim and use the sim options to make the Bladder motive static. I would imagine your sim will get the sense to go when they need to.
RULES:
1. Your main source of food is fish. You may never sell any fish you get. You can’t make shelter outta fish bones! You cook it using the “Roast Something” interaction on your firepit.
2. Your main building resource is the income made from finding seeds and plants. By selling that you can start working towards essentials. Your sim is not allowed to eat plants harvested, until they have planted it and grew the produce themselves.
3. When it rains, you can not use the firepit. When you can afford to build a shelter over the fire then you can use it while it rains on your homelot.
4. You may never buy an oven or fridge.
5. (using BuyDebug) you should probably buy a tent when you can afford it. You can camp out on any community lot. And it’s weather resistant. In the alpine run you can wait until the snow is deep enough, and make an igloo.
6. I think it goes without saying, but you can’t interact with NPC. The mail person throwing the bills at the ground. The delivery kid. They don’t exist to your sim. Oh yeah. Pay your bills. It’s not much, and if the repo man magically spawns and takes your stuff cos you weren’t on your lot watching over your camp ground. It’s nature breaking your things boy.
7. If your sim is dying, you must be on a lot of some kind. It’s game over if your sim dies and your sim cannot die off lot, and it’s cheating if you try to deny your sim of an honest death. Instead they’ll be stuck and can’t act unless directed to another lot.
DIFFICULTY/VARIATIONS:
version a) Your sim does not have the luxury of fire on hand. They don’t have a lighter on them
With no fire pit, you can see if your sim can survive the first couple of days, finding resources (seeds) to see if they can start (buy) a fire (pit). That might be impossible as the cheapest firepit in game is 295 bucks. A custom content fire pit worth 5 bucks that fits the aesthetic however?
version b) Nothing lasts forever in these unforgiving climates...
Classic depreciation of objects.. after a week of using an object, let it be the fire pit or tent, you must delete it and replace it with the exact same thing. If you can’t afford to replace both the tent and the firepit you will need to make a decision of what you need most.
version c) Nothing is permanent at all! (aka god tier torture)
After using the firepit once, you must use testing cheats to delete it. After sleeping in the tent once, you must delete it the same way. Now this is some major level 792 stuff here, so maybe you can implement this after your sim has survived one year...
20k run: Have your sim work towards 20,000 simoleons instead of 1,600 simoleons.
This way you can limit the size of your save and the NHD files in it by using the “Move to Another Town” interaction.
Survival of the Fittest: proving your stamina
If you’re going this route, your sim is not allowed to run anywhere (I’m serious) until they have one Athletic skill point. You can get this with swimming, or Simoro’s Workout mod on Simlogical. Before you can even leave this town, you have to complete the jogging skill challenge. You will find that takes precious time to traverse across the barren place your sim is in. Just remember they’re not professional adventurers with amazing skills, they have to adapt.
It’s all Relative
If you’re using a long life span, use NRaas Relativity to turn on the Apply Lifespan Skill Gain Factor. The skills will take longer and more work to gain. Good luck :)
Worn out Threads (Alpine version only): Truly living off the clothes on your back
Your sim was dumped here very much with the intention of them to die. Your sim is never allowed to stay in their outerwear.
Fatal Moodlets: Sims aren’t that resilient are they?
When your sim gets the On Fire, Singed, Frozen Solid moodlets, the challenge immediately ends. If you couldn’t get hydration or shade and you’re at risk of heatstroke, or you were struck by lightning, or you fell to the ground cos your body couldn’t fight off the cold... would you magically stand up like you were given a second chance?
Your goal isn’t to get comfortable here. You’ll find your sim’s life becomes a juggling act of needs. Your sim is trying to find out what has happened to them. They do not want to stay here. If they can survive long enough, they must gather supplies and use their skills to find the nearest town in search for answers.
I think that’s pretty much it!
other notes:
When your sim gets Desolate, they will not fish or harvest. If they go to their home lot, they will autonomously talk to inanimate objects and their social motive will get back up slightly.
ITF:
The way the Unstable trait works, is that it resets your sim’s social motive and hygiene motive when the traits change. You can use that to your advantage I suppose. I’ve had a bug where when the traits change, they are completely erased (as you can see here for Ty Herring) - to counter this I used NRaas MasterController to repopulate the missing traits.
PETS:
Your sim can interact with wild animals. You may watch the animals and try to socialise with them, that proves hard enough as it is to be honest. They’re so finicky and it could be a waste of your sim’s precious time.
Wildlife can be caught once per type, one bird, one rodent, one reptile (except there would be no reptiles in the colder climates). You can sell them. Say you caught and ate them and the nutrients gave you so much energy. Or you can keep them if you don’t wanna go all brutal. 
You can try to befriend the stray if you ever come across it.
If you made it, congrats!
There will be a Part 2
