#gotta be a pretty powerful soup to do that
Note
I have a request for you
TW: mentions of being sick (like a cold)
Hey I'm feeling a bit sick so I was wondering if you could write how Mickey "Fanboy" Garcia,Jake "Hangman" Seresin, Robert "Bob" Floyd and Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw would do that or something?
You don't have to I was just wondering
Sick Days
Pairing: x gn!reader
Fandom: Top Gun: Maverick
Summary: You’re not feeling well. Luckily the Navy’s best is a pretty good nurse. Just some headcanons about how our favorite flyboys react to you being sick :)
Request: yes
Warnings: being sick (symptoms similar to a head cold), medicine
Author’s note: this is my first request???? Wtf?? And I hope you feel better hun!! <3 this is actually a little late cause I got sick too so perfect timing haha. Also first time writing for most of these characters! I hope you enjoy!!
━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━ ━
Robert “Bob” Floyd:
My guy gets so worried
Does a quick little Google search to make sure he’s giving you the best medicine for your symptoms
He will make sure you’re so comfy in bed
You’re surrounded on all side by pillows and blankets and tissues
It’s a glorious nest
He’ll make you tea with honey to soothe your throat and help you drink it
Constantly checks in on you to make sure you’re still doing okay
Barely leaves your side
When he does, he’s texting you constantly
Like seriously, he’ll be in the kitchen and text you
[are you feeling alright?]
[Robby, you saw me thirty second ago]
[just checking]
Not to mention he cannot say no to you while you’re sick
You wanna watch that horror movie he despises? Anything for you
You wanted to know if he’d make his mama’s famous biscuits? Say no more
Literally pampers you
Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw:
Mama Carol taught this boy the ✨best✨ soup recipe
Like it cures all
The second you sniffle or cough, he’s racing to the store to get the ingredients
Rooster is such an acts of service person, so he’d totally make this soup to show his love
He’ll do everything within his power to make you better: soup, make sure you get plenty of sleep, get your medicine, and if you claim a kiss will make you better? How can he resist
Definitely goes a little bit overboard in his caring
The softest, sweetest voice while he’s talking to you
“Hey, chicken. You gotta eat. I made my mom’s famous soup”
Will rub your back as he sings you to sleep
While you sleep, he gets the soup put away and makes dinner
Except to pampered, you will not be lifting a finger
No cooking, no cleaning for like a month after you get sick
Rooster’s taking care of it all (and if he misses his training, he’ll get Mav to understand)
Jake “Hangman” Seresin:
He’s a complicated man
You mention you’re sick and his immediate response is “don’t get me sick”
You cough or sneeze and he’s out of bed in an instant
And it’s hurts, like does he really prioritize not getting over your well being
You wallow in self pity for ten minutes until he comes back in with a box of tissues, cough medicine, some water, and a large glass of orange juice
“You were out of orange juice so I went to get some, babe”
He left to get you some “sick supplies” to get you better faster
Cause he’s a sweetheart when he wants to be, and he’s gotta make sure his sweetheart is good to go
He makes you stick to Navy routine:
Medicine every few hours, drinking a glass of water every hour, taking your temperature intermittently
It’s funny honestly, cause he’s never cared for the rules but the second you’re sick he’s the biggest stickler for the rules ever
“No, baby, you gotta take the medicine. It’ll help you feel better”
“Jakey, I don’t want to”
“C’mon, sooner you’re better, sooner I can kiss you”
You think over his words for a second before holding out your hand and letting him hand you the pills
He’s gonna get you better as soon as possible (he really misses your kisses)
Mickey “Fanboy” Garcia:
He’s the type to try to distract you
You aren’t feeling well? Time to break out the jokes
Dances like an idiot when he delivers you soup or juice or anything like that
And don’t get me started on how intuitive he is (that’s what he gets from being a backseater)
You want soup? Stove’s already on
Need some water? Full glass is already ok the nightstand
Out of tissues? Where’d that new box come from?
Literally anticipates your every need
And if you just want cuddles? This is your man
He will cuddle your sickness away
“Babe, I don’t think that’s how it works” “shhhhhh”
He will let you lay your head on his chest as your watch dorky shows and he really earns his call sign as “Fanboy”
Definitely the one to subtly try and slip you medicine so you don’t notice and won’t taste it
One of the bestest boys to have with you while you’re sick 10/10

my mom recently read in a novel that some larger praying mantis species have been known to kill and eat hummingbirds. I know about bird-eating tarantulas, but I was curious if you knew of other insects who prey on birds, mammals, etc.? I know most will scavenge anything, but what abt critters who hunt? the idea of insects who hunt large prey is fascinating to me
large generalist predatory insects like mantises and katydids predominantly eat other insects, but the majority of the vertebrate prey they take is probably frogs and lizards, and typically ones smaller than themselves. hummingbirds might not be too representative of typical vertebrate prey because (I believe I heard a mantis researcher say) their metabolism is so tightly wound that the stress of being caught is enough to kill them, and all the mantis has to do is hang on, which they definitely can do. still, vertebrate predation is pretty impressive for orthopterans and mantodeans, since they’ve got to do it all without venom!
army ants of various types are also famous for their ability to catch vertebrates, but most army ants are actually specialists on other social insects (ants, wasps, termites), and the few generalist predator army ants still predominantly prey on invertebrates (and don’t skeletonize cows and horses like they do in cartoons).
diving beetles will hunt fish and aquatic amphibians—there’s a reason their larvae are called “water tigers!” belostomatid water bugs are probably the most impressive aquatic vertebrate-eaters though, and use powerful venom to subdue surprisingly large fish, tadpoles, and even other vertebrates:
outside of insects, there’s a lot of spiders that can feed on herptiles, either by overpowering them with strength like huntsmen and tarantulas, or by snaring them in webs like widows, the most successful snake eaters:
plus, there’s always the famous Nephila orbweavers whose sturdy webs can catch avian prey, but this is probably a fairly rare occurrence.
going over to centipedes, giant scolopendrids are quite successful predators of vertebrates, with any species large enough likely preying on herptiles, and occasionally on some far larger than they are!
Scolopendra venom is evolved to take down large prey, so it’s no surprise they’re some of the most prolific vertebrate-eaters in the arthropod world. some very large Scolopendra (gigantea, maybe galapagoensis, viridicornis, heros) will hunt bats, sometimes by hanging to catch them in flight. other predation on mammals and birds seems to occur opportunistically, especially where the prey is helpless: S. galapagoensis was recorded feeding on baby rodents in the Galapagos; other island species like Cormocephalus coynei will feed on seabird chicks (enough with the “fluffy” avian favoritism, Nature! ‘pedes gotta eat).
oh, speaking of nestling-devouring, there’s also some freaky observations of slugs munching on soft mushy songbird babies! someone on Twitter had their nest camera record some chicks getting eaten by a large Carabus ground beetle, but I can’t find it again.
but I think the most shocking example of vertebrate predation by an invertebrate is probably Epomis, another ground beetle. as larvae, they feed on frogs far larger than they are by letting themselves get attacked, latching onto the would-be predator, and munching on it until it perishes. adult beetles also prey on amphibians, but just run them down instead of luring prey.
youtube
(there’s also video of the adult beetles preying on frogs, but they seem to all be stolen by some weird content scraper YT channels, so I’ll not post them here.)
let me know if I missed any good examples of vertebrate predation by bugs!

hey... so, i'm sick and i was wondering if you could do some Ramona Flowers & Kim Pine taking care of a sick reader headcanons/imagines
Ramona Flowers & Kim Pines With A Sick S/O
Pairings: Ramona Flowers x GN! Reader, Kim Pines x GN! Reader (separate).
Warnings: None? Kim can’t cook? I say A&E instead of ER cause I’m a Brit, but I should change it here because spvstw takes place in Canada and write all my spvstw works based in Canada.
Writing Time: 30 minutes.
Word Count: 613.
Format: Headcannons.
A/N:
Hope this makes you feel a little better my friend! Get well soon!
—-///—-
Ramona Flowers
• I don’t think Ramona would be overly worried about their sick s/o.
• Sorry but Ramona has a bad habit of assuming everyone is as strong as her.
• I think if your sickness lasted more than two days, she’d start caring.
• She would start bring you soup, which is pretty good and definitely helps.
• Ramona’s hidden talent is cooking.
• So no doubt you love her soup.
• Her special soup that you only get when your sick.
• If you don’t like soup, Ramona would easily find something else you do like that would help you feel better.
• She would cuddle you regardless.
• She knows she has a strong immune system, so you won’t make her sick.
• Ramona would bring you stuff you can do in bed, just so you don’t get too bored.
• Mainly puzzles and arts and crafts.
• Ramona wouldn’t miss work to look after you if it wasn’t serious, so she mainly cooks and entertains you in the mornings before her work or in the evening after her work.
• But she wouldn’t forget about you, don’t worry.
• You will get one or two texts from her whilst she’s at work, usually asking if your feeling any better and if you want anything in particular for her to bring you.
Kim Pines
• Kim cares a whole lot more.
• You have a small cough, you’re dying and she’s gotta take you to A&E immediately.
• She’s immediately putting you in bed and suffocating you with blankets and pillows.
• Kim can’t cook to save her life so she would be stressing out trying to make your soup.
• When she finally brings it you, it’s watery and tasteless.
• The bowl is probably got some of her panic tears on it too.
• If you don’t like soup… please don’t tell Kim.
• She’ll try even harder trying to find something you do like and sick appropriately, but will probably failing at it.
• In Kim’s defence for not knowing how to cook, she spends all her time with men who haven’t developed past a toddler’s mentality.
• She can cook the best out of all of them so probably thinks she’s set.
• Also she’s broke so eating shit like pot noodles everyday is easier and more affordable than actually cooking.
• Kim would call in sick to work just to look after you.
• Even if you ask her not to.
• She’s gonna watch you all day now just go make sure you don’t suddenly die.
• The most strangest part about Kim being so overprotective of you when your sick is that when she’s sick, she’s not.
• Makes sense?
• Like she could have the worst migraine and stomach pain, a runny nose and terrible cough but no she’s not taking any time off.
• She’s got band practice and work, no time for staying in bed all day for her.
• Kim probably doesn’t get sick pay, so you know… might actually lose her tiny studio apartment if she calls sick, but you’re worth it!
• Kim cuddles you too regardless if your sick.
• She will absolutely get sick too but again, you’re worth it.
• And she’s more than capable of powering through her sickness.

an au where jaune becomes a sheriff of a little town in the DC universe after he learns he has super powers he also takes up search and rescue training ems training and even volunteers as a firefighter. his rouges gallery is his friends from beacon who aren't evil they just produce the normal amount of collateral damage associated with them while they try to fight the small time gangs in vale.
he also occasionally gets called up by justice leaguers to help either with combat or just to talk (mostly just to talk so many of them have mental issues they need help with)
take us through a day in the life of sheriff jaune arc a guy who just wants to help without causing any problems
Sheriff Arc
You ever have a really bad day? Like, even worse than what you were trained for? Like, for example, you work in a sandwich shop and some fancy-looking guy comes in and tells you he wants soup. You don't make soup, but they're insistent, and it's obvious they're not leaving, even if you call the police? Well...
Jaune: Still no sign of him.
Radio: (Muffled chattering) Copy that, sheriff. What's your plan.
Jaune: I don't want to waste chopper fuel, but-
Radio: I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WASTE! FIND MY NEPHEW!
Yeah. That's the soup lady. Or, well, she's a farmer, but a really importantly farmer. Her nephew, whom she holds guardianship over, ran away from home. Can't imagine why with such a lovely aunt to take care of him.
But that's not fair to her. She's just worried about her nephew. And I honestly can't blame her. If Adrian suddenly disappeared, I'd be looking all over for him, come hell or high water.
Wait a minute. High water.
Jaune: Hey, when was the last rainstorm we had?
Radio: Two nights ago. Lasted pretty much all day, morning to night, and got up to about seven inches. We needed it.
There's a river that runs through the forest. Well, maybe "river" is being generous, but the rain could have upgraded the stream to a river, and the pond in the woods into a swamp.
And the old tunnel by the pond into an underwater cave.
Jaune: I've got a lead. Send a boat crew to the pond, and bring scuba gear.
---------------------------------------------------
The Rat Tunnels. An old relic from the Great War. It was first built for smuggling purposes, then when the Great War broke out, it turned into a bunker for... well, anyone who could get ahold of it.
Then it was left alone when the war ended. Could be anything in there.
Well, anything except people, I hope. As spacious as it may seem at the entrance, you have to be pretty small to fit yourself inside. About as small as a rat.
Jaune: (In scuba gear) I'm going in. (Dives)
Everything is soaked around me. The bank is supposed to end way lower than where it is now. But it didn't, and now it's soaked into the bunker.
To say everything was dark inside would be an understatement. So dark, you can't see your hand in front of you. And dark means cold, and that's exactly what it was inside, too. Gotta move fast, or else hypothermia will settle in.
Really hope this kid isn't catching it.
---------------------------------------------------
???: I'm looking for Jaune Arc.
Jaune: I am Jaune Arc.
???: The REAL Jaune Arc.
Jaune: I am the real Jaune Arc.
???: I'm looking for Sheriff Arc.
Jaune: Oh... You could have just started with that.
---------------------------------------------------
I can feel my fingers tingling. Definitely not good. I could pull back, but until I find him, I can't pull out. Just a little further.
Keep going forward.
Jaune: (Slaps out of the water) Found him! I'm gonna need a medevac. He looks real cold.
Radio: Negative, Sheriff. Just got word of another heavy rainstorm coming in. Heli won't fly in this weather.
Jaune: Shoot. I dunno if this kid will last much longer in here. Can we get a second diver in here with a spare bottle?
Radio: Negative. Everybody's too busy with other tasking.
Jaune: ...Mm. Can't climb out. What do I do?
???: Sacrifices must be made...
Jaune: Huh?
???: He must live...
Jaune: What the hell? Who's there?
???: Breathe.
???: Help him breathe.
Jaune: ...What I would give for an extra pair of lungs.
---------------------------------------------------
Ruby: Come on! It wasn't me!
Neptune: Uh-huh, and who else graffitis roses all over town?
Ruby: It's not all over town. It's just the parts of town not already tagged... I'm assuming.
Neptune: Yeah, sure, and-
Radio: All units. All units. Requesting Arc recall at earliest convenience.
Neptune: Ah, crap... Listen, I... Wait. Where did she?
Ruby: (Peeking from the roof) Heh heh heh... (Sneaks off) Now to help Jaune!
---------------------------------------------------
Everything hurts. My lungs feel like they're gonna pop, like my chest is on fire. I'm getting air now and then, but it's just little air pops of oxygen. I'm really far from town.
But I gotta keep moving. The kid's passed out, in my arms, breathing in from my tank.
I know what you're thinking right now.
"You're the worst Sheriff I ever saw!"
"Who trained you to be an EMS?"
"What qualifications do you have to do all of this?"
To answer those questions in order: I know. Nobody. And none.
I'm just the guy who would blindly dive into a dark, cold, underground tunnel just to save some kid's life. Because it's my job, and there's nobody else who can do it.
I can feel myself fading...
Fading...
Fadi...
---------------------------------------------------
Jaune: HAAAAAAAAAA! Hah... Hah...
Ruby: You okay, Jaune?
Jaune: Ruby? What... How did... Wait, the kid! Did he-?!
Ruby: Relaaaaax, Jaune. Oscar is fine. He's with his aunt right now, and the town's okay. Mostly.
Jaune: Mostly?
Ruby: Well, there were a few of you who kinda poofed, and you kinda left Neptune in charge.
Jaune: Oh... Alright... That's fine, then.
Ruby: Uh, did you miss the part about Neptune being in charge?
Jaune: If that's the worst problem there is, I'm pretty sure I can handle it.
Ruby: Well, it's not technically the worst.
Jaune: Huh, what do you?
???: Sheriff Arc.
Jaune: Huh?
Batman: I have some questions for you.

Starlight isn't interested in being a mom, she'll protect kids when the situation calls for it and be supportive of said kids, but she's not gonna take care of a child 24/7. She's more "protective auntie" type than "Good mom energy". Nobody expected Billy to be all nurturing towards kids, they shouldn't expect the same from starlight, it doesn't matter if the latter has a stronger connection to kids. We never saw her talk wanting kids nor shown any implications of her wanting to join motherhood. She definitely seems like she's someone who likes kids, but doesn't want any of her own. So yeah, don't expect her to be anyone's mom. Nobody expected Billy to be anyone's dad, especially if you read the comics, don't expect starlight to be anyone's mom. Idgas if she's nicer to kids than billy.
idk what you're on about anon but it's fuckin' weird, i'ma tell ya that.
starlight wanting kids is basically schrodinger's cat here. sure, she's never said or implied she specifically *wanted* kids.
but she's never said or implied that she specifically *doesn't* want kids either, in either iteration so whatever you thought this was, it's just a great big can of nothin' word soup.
or in other words, this random ramble that showed up in my inbox? it don't make a lick of sense.
also, why even care so much if starlight becomes a mom or not??? that is an exceedingly weird thing to grasp onto, i gotta say. it sounds more like *you* specifically don't want her to have kids and are possibly projecting your own desire onto your interpretation of the character, so headcanon i guess?? which fine, but why bother me with it???????? who even cares whether she becomes a mom or not? if they go that route, they go that route, if they don't, they don't.
butt.
i will also say that if starlight didn't ever want kids or had some sort of issue with adopting one, she probably would have freaked out the first second hughie mentioned 'may have signed us up to adopt a kid'. she was pretty unfazed in response so it either just wasn't something she cared to give much attention to in that moment (half because she wouldn't mind/half because more important topics at hand), or her and hughie *are* actually at the stage in their relationship where kids aren't necessarily the goal, but they're okay with becoming parents and have probably talked about it (at least once, generally an important conversation for a healthy het couple that is sexually active)
and why in satan's red hellscape would you designate her as a 'protective auntie' specifically to bar her from 'good mom energy'?????????? first of all, WHAT?? who are you to decide that for another woman?????? how do you even decide *for another woman* 'yeah, she likes kids but def never wants any of her own'??? leik wut?? when did she say *anything* even remotely implying this???????????
why do *you* get to speak for *her*?????? what the hell are you even basing this assumption on????????????
and second, why couldn't she be both???? people can be *both* moms to one kid and aunts to others. if your mom has siblings(or super close family friends/besties), and her siblings(besties) have kids, which would be your cousins(or conisdered family), she's an aunt too(or could be considered one)!
and if mom's sibling is a sister and they both have kids, wouldn't ya know, they're *both* mom/auntie combos!!
leik where is the logic here?????????????
shoot, we might even see them actually adopt a kid (maybe teddy stillwell) if that paperwork did actually go through and i could def picture hughie freakin' out but annie bein' a total boss about it (also lmao would be kinda great since the kid's powers match hughie's, could also picture butcher pushing hughie to adopt teddy specifically to use him... FFFFFFFFFFFFFF--)
butt~ there's also leaked spoilers of a pregnancy reveal in the next season, big chance it could be starlight's, leik big enough to make a safe bet i'd guess, but who knows.
otherwise, i mean if you wanna write starlight not being a mom in fanfic, that's an option. it is free. have at it.
just maybe don't bother the people who do make her become a mom in their own fics or want to see that in the show, or try to implement your personal vision of 'what starlight should be' onto them, that much is a bit of a dick move. (you can make your own meta and nicely discuss but this ask is hella weird)
leik you could have just been honest and said 'i don't want starlight to have kids' and it would have made a 1000 times more sense and been more valid than whatever the hell this thing was.
i ramble a ton but don't care one way or another, which just makes this extra weird anon. honestly wtf. this might make more sense if i gushed about starlight becoming a mom as much as i did about butcher getting impregnated~<3 but i've only ever mentioned it in passing, probably once or twice?? normally in reference to predictions for *if* ryan survives, which i've made pretty clear i'm *not* holding out for. (that kid died in the comic by butcher's hand, given the parallels with the kid accidentally killing his mom in both comic and show, i'm expecting a similar parallel for him and butcher eventually) you sure this one was meant for me???
also, the way things are going + leaked spoilers, maybe don't be surprised if she does in fact become a mom in canon? (or if butcher causes her to have a miscarriage i guess. would not put it past him... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--)

the shape of things that my brain likes is a chain of 'whys'.
if i can ask 'so why is it done this way' and get an answer like 'well, when you try to do x, you encounter y problem, which you can solve by z' that is great. if it's 'we found/created this space of possibilities, and we're all exploring it', that's also great. if it's a historical story, like A came along and defined the scope of the activity, and then B came along and responded, and then C and D and E and F, we're iterating - well it's more arbitrary but if that's the best answer available it's the best answer available.
if it's 'idk, just is' then it's frustrating.
unfortunately the thing is... we humans are instantiated with pretty much an untrained neural net. at first our brains gotta learn shit like motor functions and recognise there's other minds and absorb a language to guide our thoughts and all that shit, but at some point we are just kind of left to our own devices to figure out what to do with the remaining decades of being alive. we have some sense of the shape of the world and it's affordances, our bodies give inputs that we can desire to feel again or hope to avoid, but once survival is taken care of, what we actually do with being alive is not something that has a nice 'deducible from first principles' sort of answer. we have to make arbitrary decisions. confound it!
just about anything can be an art form or a game (two very closely related concepts). it's just like... the scope of some activity that humans have settled on, maybe because we find it tends to arrange the world in ways that please our senses, maybe because it gives a handle to understand the noise around us. we find it satisfying to create these little bits of logical structure in the complete arbitrariness of everything. learning, the process of adapting to something, is a big part of what makes it compelling.
we learn these different activities by imitation at first. but since we crave novelty, and since all these activities are embedded in social relationships of power and prestige and so on, maybe at some point we get unsatisfied, we feel we've seen everything this particularly scheme has to offer, or that the activity as we encounter it doesn't suit our particular lives and we'd rather put a different spin on it... so we adjust it, make another variant. thus cultural practices evolve. they evolve in a way that is much more vague and hard to define than alleles, proteins, and organisms. there's no skin defining the boundary of a concept, it's more like the soup of bacteria swapping genes.
it's all so fascinating, because it's all made of the things that someone somewhere has found fascinating and hoped to communicate to other brains like it. "try this, you might enjoy it," spread across eight billion people and counting. 'i' could live a hundred times from the same starting point and spend the 80-ish years i get alive in a hundred completely different ways and develop into 'different people' each time, and in each one feel that i lived as interesting and purposeful a life as anyone gets to live. but i only get to experience the one lifetime, so I have to choose, even just to let the world choose for me... and let all those choices become a history that pushes into one trajectory or another, even if i can't see its shape. tumbling like a plinko horse.
why am 'i' this person, who cares about these things, and not another person who cares about other things? why did the whirlpool form there and not ten centimetres to the left? why are these sounds a musical genre, why are these shapes an art style? systems be complex, sometimes that's all you can say...
but even if I'm just one little tentacle of the incomprehensible superorganism/egregore/glider-pattern fumbling its way through experience-space, I'm glad i get to be that. wouldn't miss it for the world...

This is old news, but I haven't really reported on it yet. I don't like most Nancy ships because they always seem to revolve around her. I like my ships to be mutually dynamically fulfilling, and a while ago I tried to think of any stranger things character I could see her being good with, and the only one I could think of at the time was Kali. (side note: I didn't look up an official list or anything, so Chrissy wasn't one that I'd thought of at the time, but I was very recently introduced to the idea of them being in a relationship and I kinda like it, maybe even more than kalancy, but that's irrelevant rn)
The reason I haven't really talked about it though is because the only way I'd ever be able to do anything with it is if I thought up an au for it, because I can't so easily just slide that into canon st plotlines. Especially since steddie is my main favorite ship, it's also not something I could just slide as background into there. But I'm not much of an au person so I just figured nothing would come of it, but... well I thought of one
Robin Hood!Kali Maid Marian! Nancy. And obviously Kali has an established gang, which would stand in for the merry men
Now first of all, obviously Nancy is kind of known to be the sharp shooter, but also lots of versions of Robin Hood give them a history from before he becomes an outlaw. So the idea that one of the extracurricular Nancy had to partake in is archery, and it's one of the ones that she actually likes, so she teaches her friend (Kali) to do it
A common Robin Hood plot is around a competition for this golden arrow, often accompanied by a kiss from Maid Marian, so the idea that Kali shows up just to see Nancy again, and marvels as Nancy pulls a Merida, competing herself, taking her agency back in the situation
Maid Marian often has lady in waiting and that's gotta be Barb. Yk that scene in canon where Nancy and Barb are talking about Steve and Barb kind of mocks her like "'We just made out a little.'" I'm thinking we'd get that type of dynamic a little bit, and Barb can go to Nancy as a confidant when Barb realizes Nancy's feelings for Kali. Barb admits that she's been sneaking off with Robin, who is the king's scribe's daughter (Also Robin intends on being the, like, royal translator when the current one retires, and has actually gotten work a few times when they've needed one last second). Now Nancy has a closer confidant in Barb.
Some extra background stuff I got carried away with
I think Steve has to be royalty too. I think he was the prince of a neighboring kingdom and was one of Nancy's suitors at some point, before he did something against his father and was banished. So he stays in Nancy's kingdom. If we want to throw in some background steddie we can have Eddie and Wayne take him in. I think Eddie is in Kali's gang, and maybe eases Steve into it too. I think Dustin, Max, and the Sinclairs are also in the group from pretty early
Robin and Steve meet while working at a soup kitchen, with all the financial issues going on in the kingdom, as is part of the Robin Hood plot
The Byers family work in the stables, and Nancy once had a rebellious relationship with Jonathan, and Mike (who would also be in a similar social position to Nancy, being her brother). I'm honestly not that invested in the B*ler vs m*leven rivalry (censoring because people get intense about it). I think Will doesn't deserve to go through this emotional wringer for Mike, but there's opportunity here
The sheriff in Robin Hood is obviously an antagonist so I'm not gonna be placing Hopper there, I'm going to make him Friar Tuck, even though I don't view canon Hopper as particularly religious, I think the role fits
Instead of the situation being the typical Robin Hood route of "No, royalty is good, but we gotta be loyal to those rightfully in power" where Prince John is just left in charge while his brother, the true king, is on the crusade, we're just going full anti-authority. The kind is in charge and it's Brenner. Idk how royal positions work and I've tried so hard to google. I have no idea if Maid Marian is supposed to be related to the king or not. But I could totally see them related on her dad's side. We're just going with it. The Sheriff is gonna be Mayor Kline
Now obviously the Robin Hood plot is about exploitation which fits into Kali's real motivation, but in Robin Hood it's financial exploitation, so I think El has to be just a victim of child labor through orphanage before Hopper takes her in. I think all of the experiments need to have fallen victim to child labor, and Kali and El were the only ones who actually got out of it. Kali would have probably had to have gotten stuck in it after her childhood friendship with Nancy

Alright, figuring out how to read the map and that it leads to Titan’s blood is a good thing that you should tell Luz about. What I’m not so sure about is this ”surprise” Amity has planned involving the Haunted Hayride. I have a gut feeling this is all going to end horribly.
On a completely unrelated note, where’s Hunter? Y’all wanna go check up on him?
Rare image of Luz smiling in this episode. Gotta screenshot that.
Nah, the real reason I screenshot this was because I’m pretty sure that is another Amphibia reference in the top left there. Man, I should really watch that show someday, find out what all the hype is about. Winks at camera.
…what?
After what may or may not be some foreshadowing towards what Luz’ palisman is gonna be and Luz continuing her one-man hate campaign against herself, she briefly touches the PLANT glyph she doodled in her notebook… and it burns her hand and starts to smoke.
Hmmm… back in season one, during Luz’ and Lilith’s brief scuffle in the Human Realm, Luz tried to use a glyph. The glyph didn’t really take effect, but the paper disintegrated. Earlier in this very episode, we saw Luz attempting to use a glyph, and it did nothing. So what’s going on?
I dunno. But I can make some guesses and hope I’m maybe a little right.
So the glyphs are implied to draw power from The Titan, the Boiling Isles themselves. Obviously, there’s no titan to draw power from in the Human Realm, thus rendering the glyphs powerless, little more than ink on paper. But… what if… if there’s some connection between realms (like the open portal door in season one) the glyphs can draw a little power from the titan? Just not enough to activate. Hence why the glyph Luz used in season one disintegrated instead of just doing nothing.
If that’s the case… then what is the glyph drawing power from now? I can think of four possibilities at the top of my head.
The first one is that it’s drawing power from the Demon Realm through an open portal. Rather unlikely.
The second one is that maybe Luz absorbed some magic power from her palisman egg when she was touching it right now, and that reacted with the glyph. A cool idea, but again, rather unlikely.
The third one is that it has something to do with the Titan’s Blood hidden in Gravesfield. King’s dad’s blood is a potent source of magic power after all. As for why the glyph didn’t activate before… maybe the vet clinic is just closer to the hidden blood?
The fourth possibility is that the real magic was inside Luz all along.
We cut over to Hunter, who is, to my surprise, doing a lot better than I thought he’d be doing considering how his last scene ended.
This does not make me feel any less nervous though, because I know for a fact something bad is gonna happen to Hunter this episode. It’s just a question of when.
On one hand, I understand Hunter’s desire to deal with this situation right now before Philip runs away.
On the other hand… you two have no magic (because Hunter decided to lock Flapjack in a cage for some reason) and, well… The Collector turned Philip to (charcoal tooth)paste. But being blended to rotten potato-and-leek soup by a god still wasn’t enough to put Philip down for good. What are you even planning to do? Slap him with a rake and hope he dies? If he survived The Collector mashing him to evil pesto, that rake ain’t gonna be it buddy.
This is a bad idea, is what I’m saying. At least with the other kids there to assists, they have a slightly bigger chance of… I dunno, sealing him in a jar like so much malicious jelly while they figure out what to do next.

Gotta say, not a huge fan of the Abyssal Hunter storyline so far. I think it's because there’s some really interesting topics they could focus on with this story, but instead they focus directly on the seaborn.
I don’t like the seaborn. I do not find them compelling, and as a biologist I cannot get past the fact that they cannot exist.
It is impossible for anything to eat enough to undergo constant radical changes to their body plan. Have you seen how much teenagers eat? They’re growing a few inches, not changing to be resistant to bullets. It takes a caterpillar spending a month as soup to become a butterfly, and you’re asking me to suspend my disbelief that a creature that is essentially the thing from The Thing but worse at assimilation and blue can just change its entire body mid-fight?
‘There’s literally magic in arknights’ I hear you say, but originium arts have a source for the energy they need, the originium, and the seaborn very explicitly do not use originium. This only really leaves the option that they are related to the feranmut, and the idea that their god was a feranmut is actually a pretty good one, the issue with it is I don’t like the feranmut either!
Arknights is really good about trying to make things make sense, with the exception of the feranmut, who very specifically (dare I say intentionally) do not make sense. I don’t like it, because one of the things I like most about Arknights is that it does a good job at making its world have internal consistency.
Right now it seems to me they are just giving the seaborn a superpower strong enough for them to be an Existential Threat™ and to justify making their Bloodborne OCs nonsensically powerful.
The events are fine, I actually do like the characters, but I can’t help but imagine a vignette event about what Aegir’s super soldier program was really like, or one about the influence of the inquisition in inland Iberia, and feel a little disappointed in what we got.

DAILY QUESTION TIME!!!
What are each of their skills with cooking from best to worst?
Additionally, what are each of their skills with making desserts from best to worst?
Cooking from Best To Worst? aaaaah—
Zane: Obviously. Had two parents that adored cooking and were also able to cram FSM-knows how many recipes into his data. He loves cooking, and doesn't mind picking up extra turns because cooking is one more way he still feels connected to his parents, and he likes making the others smile with his food. In a twist of fate, however, the only sweets he can make are muffins (if you count that) and cake. Any other time he attempts a dessert, he becomes too much of a perfectionist to actually finish (whether it be putting it all together perfectly, or painstaking decorating) and thus leads to no dessert at all :(
Kai: You wouldn't think it, but he's the guy that can make the most unrelated leftovers taste like five-star cooking. He prefers not to cook, as he's had to do it so much while growing up (and it was stressful at that), but he doesn't try to pass the buck when it's his turn for meals either. His meals are always flavorful and sometimes a bit spicy, but everyone agrees that he's next best after Zane. For desserts, however, he's far less familiar, as he'd never had to luxury of actually trying anything fancy (beyond the occasional birthday treat for Nya). Once he gets his powers he also becomes lazier at cooking, given that he suddenly believes everything tastes better "instantly flamed and with a bit of char" snksnksnk
Jay: He himself says he's good at cooking, and I believe him—his parents always seemed the type to have lavish home-cooked meals at any and every opportunity, and with Jay being an only (adopted) child, he'd always be eager to help and/or get roped into it. However, as he's gotten older, he's gotten more impatient, especially when hungry. While he could cook if truly motivated, he no longer has the attention span to put up with it, hence why he's always getting Zane to pick up his turns for cooking meals. Desserts require even more time and focus and—Jay just doesn't have the time for that lmao, but he could whip up a quick tasty dessert if the situation called for it.
Cole: Growing up in a house where meals were usually prepared for him, he didn't initially have a lot of hands-on cooking experience, hence why he has some...wild ideas on how cooking is actually done. But when he's not banned from the kitchen, he can make some pretty decent soups and such, as that usually doesn't take much prep and is hard to find a way to mess up (...unless it's duck chowder). Jesse has been trying to help expand his cooking capabilities on the side, but when it comes to desserts, be it cakes, pudding, candies, and whatever else? Cole's the king, and no one could ever really figure out how or why (buuuut it's because his mom drew the line at having attendants make desserts for her—her motherly pride was at stake, and so she used dessert-making as a way to bond with Cole and you know he hung onto that knowledge).
Nya: Kai never let her cook growing up (as to prevent her from really getting a scope on just how scrapped they were for food and supplies growing up, and to hide how uneven their portions were), soooo...um, well, she can't really do it. It drives her nuts, as she's gotta be good at everything and making food is like an essential skill so oh god why is the water on fire—?! ...thus when it's her turn to cook she's usually got someone helping her out. She gets better eventually, and does find a niche in making desserts that comes second to Cole!
Lloyd: ...his magnum opus recipe is microwaving a bag of popcorn and not burning it. Yeah, his mom had him help in the kitchen from time to time, but not often enough for any of the skills to actually stick. He's also super-paranoid about breaking dishes, or accidentally messing up food at the last second. None of the others directly say anything about it, but inverse to someone always helping Nya, they always have Lloyd help someone else, as opposed to giving him cooking duty by himself (until he's a little bit older and forces himself to study a cookbook). Lloyd, ultimately, is just glad to be useful...but his idea of a stellar dessert is always just going to be a bag of good old-fashioned candy.

striving to find the right road
part 3 of a Vanessa Abrams playlist - best heard in order
tracklist and quotes under the cut
Feeling Good ~ Nina Simone
Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know?
Butterflies all havin' fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
Everyday People ~ Sly & The Family Stone
I am no better and neither are you
We're all the same, whatever we do
You love me, you hate me
The Adults Are Talking ~ The Strokes
You were waitin' for the elevator
You were sayin' all the words I'm dreaming
No more askin', questions, or excuses
High School Never Ends ~ Bowling For Soup
The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who's the best dressed and who's having sex
Who's got the money, who gets the honeys
Who's kinda cute and who's just a mess
And I still don't have the right look
And I still have the same three friends
And I'm pretty much the same as I was back then
High school never ends
The New Year ~ Death Cab for Cutie
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance
Atomic Dog ~ George Clinton
Why must I feel like that? Why must I chase the cat?
The World Is Ugly ~ My Chemical Romance
These are the lies and the lives of the taken
These are their hearts, but their hearts don't beat like ours
They burn 'cause they are all afraid
But mine beats twice as hard
Picket Line ~ Bobby DePace
My head is getting weary and my body is worn
But i’ll keep on walking til i can’t walk no more
Royals ~ Lorde
Life is great without a care
We aren't caught up in your love affair
War on the Workers ~ Anne Feeney
Listen up, we've got a war zone here today
Right in our heartland, and across the USA
These multinational bastards don't use tanks and guns it's true
But they've declared a war on us, fight back! It's up to you
What Is Hip? ~ Tower Of Power
So you became part of the new breed
Been smoking only the best weed
Hanging out with so-called hippest set
Been seen in all the right places
Seen with just the right faces
You should be satisfied
But still it ain't quite right
Seven ~ Sleeping At Last
How wonderful to see a smile on your face
It costs farewell tears for a welcome-home parade
A secret handshake between me and my one life
I'll find the silver lining, no matter what the price
Right Back Where We Started From ~ Army Navy
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from
Stand by Me ~ Ben E. King
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Baby I Need Your Loving ~ Four Tops
Some say it's a sign of weakness for a man to beg
Then weak, I'd rather be
If it means having you to keep
'Cause lately I've been losing sleep
I Heard It Through The Grapevine ~ Marvin Gaye
You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else, instead
I heard it through the grapevine
The Hollow Sound of the Morning Chimes ~ TOPS
You've been up all night
Clangin round
The thoughts that you cannot make right
Big Wheel ~ Samia
I got a lover in my bedroom
Or the smell of him at least
If he's somewhere getting smarter
On a free man's odyssey
Expert In A Dying Field ~ The Beths
The city is painted with memory
The water will never run clear
The birds and the bees and the flowers and trees
They know that we've both been here
And I can flee the country
For the worst of the year
But I'll come back to it
Train in Vain (Stand by Me) ~ The Clash
All the times when we were close
I'll remember these things the most
Right Place Wrong Time ~ Dr. John
I was in the right trip
But I made it in the wrong car
Nasty Gal ~ Betty Davis
I said, you went around tellin' everybody
Yeah, you just put me down now
You dragged my name in the mud
All over town

Joe Hills, Godmaker
“You realise you've made him a god, right?” says Scar to Joe, quietly, as they both watch Bdubs – him, and Ren, and Cleo before the pair of them looking increasingly exasperated.
“Who?” Joe's chewing on a hangnail, hardly paying attention.
It's suddenly occurred to him that he's never asked Cleo if her hair gets hungry. Working through the possible outcomes of dangling a small prey animal near her head – physical, biological, ethical, moral, interpersonal – is taking an entire hemisphere up, currently. And it's pretty hard to do anything with half a brain, let alone something as hard as paying attention.
“Bdubs.” Scar's voice goes soft when he says the name, like homemade fudge left too long on a sunny windowsill. “You know. With your whole, oh, usually kings get their power from gods, but you got yours from Bdubs. That makes him, by rights, a god.”
They both pause to watch Bdubs bow and grovel to Ren, only to round on Cleo with all the enthusiasm of a Disney villain's sidekick. He doesn't look like a god. But then, they both know that looks can be deceiving.
“A real god, or a narrative one?”asks Joe, with the air of someone who's had this sort of conversation before.
Scar hums, thoughtfully. He's not looking at Joe. He's got eyes only for Bdubs. “Is there a difference?”
Joe gives him a look. “Scar,” he admonishes. “We don't all worship stories, y'know.”
“I do not worship–” Scar sighs, and relents, possibly sensing an argument he can't win without lying. Or with lying, even. “Okay, fine. Narrative god. Mythic figure. Whatever. It's the same thing, really! Mostly. You know. Kingmaker the god, Kingmaker the myth… it's all the same…” He makes a gesture with his hands that might, in Joe's interpretation, indicate cosmic soup.
Or it might just indicate regular soup. It's pretty close to lunch time, after all. Soup sounds pretty good right about now.
Joe says none of that. What he does say is, “Oh! Like King Arthur.” He waves a vague hand at Scar's frown, in a gesture that doesn't look like soup. “Doesn't matter. Guy with a sword. He was king once, too."
“Right! Sure. Just like King Arnold. Except he's not a king, he's a god."
“Right,” says Joe, and then, “Wait. If Bdubs made Ren a king, and he's a kingmaker, then does that mean if I made Bdubs a god, I'm a godmaker?”
Scar shrugs. “Sure!” he says. “Call yourself whatever you want. Just know that if you do, though, you're probably gonna end up making more gods. All sorts of ones! Big ones, itty bitty little ones, really weird ones…”
For a moment, Joe loses himself in the blissful imagining of an axolotl god, made by his own hand – tiny, pinkish, wet and wriggling, held in his palm. He'd name it Godsalotl. No, wait. Axogodtl. Godsagodtl? No, that's ridiculous. Axo–
Then a horrible, terrible thought occurs to him.
“Wait,” he says, slowly.
In front of them, Cleo is very obviously dismissed, and Scar starts getting ready to take his turn approaching the royal throne.
Bdubs – Godubs? – is bellowing something about squabs. Joe's still not sure what that is. Squids, maybe, but wider. If he's a god, Joe supposes they can be whatever Bdubs wants them to be.
Scar looks up from unsubtly shrugging his shirt a little off his shoulders, so the front's held further open. His abs are glistening with what, on anyone else, would probably be baby oil. It's Scar, though, so Joe has to assume it's something more random – cooking oil, maybe, though he's vaguely aware that licking it to check would constitute what Cleo calls a socially unacceptable action.
“What?” Scar says, peering at Joe over his sunglasses.
“If Bdubs is a god, and he's a kingmaker, then that means Rendog's still claiming divine right of kings.” Joe sighs, heavily. “Which means I gotta dethrone him. Aw, shoot.”
“Okay, well, good luck with that!” says Scar, in the brightly cheerful voice he only uses when he's not paying any attention. “Anyway, I gotta go speak to a king and his pet god now, so, talk to you later, good byeeeee.”
And then he's gone, down the hallway and into the throne room without a backwards glance.
Joe sighs again, and squares his shoulders. “There goes work on the pinball machine for the next week,”he says, more to himself than anything. “Ah well. I can probably catch up after, with a bit of overtime. Might even be able to get Bdubs to help. …Hey, Iskall. How much faster do you reckon a god can place blocks then us regular folks?”
Iskall looks at him funny, which Joe always thinks is a little rich coming from a guy who built his own eyeball. Which he respects, entirely, but judgement seems slightly hypocritical when the man dispensing it did his own experimental doit-yourself eye surgery.
“Uhm? I don't know?” he says, voice lilting up in confused concern. “I'd have to assume a lot, though. Yes! Uhm. A lot.”
"Yeah,” says Joe, eyes slowly lighting up with possibility. His pinball machine has a bright future ahead of it, with a little touch from a god. “A lotl…”

Hey so I saw your post requesting asks about Wingfeather headcanons, and I just finished reading the Warden and the Wolf King for the first time last night (😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️) so I gotta know- what are your headcanons about the epilogue- ie. if they did bring Janner back, and what would happen after?
Also, do you have any headcanons about young Artham and Esben, before Anniera fell?
Thank you! 😊
Hello!
Alright first of all, the ending of TWatWK was... a lot emotions. I definitely understand how you're feeling about it lol.
Now, on to the headcannons, personally, I think they did manage to revive Janner. Or, maybe a more accurate description would be the Maker allowed Janner to come back and the family just like poured the First Well water on him and stuff. To me, Janner's revival seems like it would be a very Maker-involved thing, considering he (The Maker) created the First Well and is the reason it has healing powers and is basically part of what keeps Aerwiar alive (or maybe that's the Holoré and Holóel, not sure). Basically yes, I do believe Janner was revived, although I do have an au where he was not.
On to your second question, I'm pretty sure that after the Wingfeathers get back to Anneira, they almost immediately started rebuilding the castle and towns and stuff. I also think they would spend a lot of time together, going on picnics and exploring ( Aurundelle, Sara, and Leeli's dogs in tow).
They would also spend time together just to talk and mend relationships, because let's face it, the Wingfeathers need a lot of that family therapy. I'm also thinking about Artham and Nia forgiving each other, because their relationship has a few... issues (referring to Nia's treatment of Artham in Glipwood, by not standing up for him against Podo more often, when she clearly can and has)
I truly think those two could've done so much better (and still can) if Nia had just taken Artham in and they actually talked and helped each other with their grief about Esben's death (both when he was thought to be dead and when he actually did), because, while the kids certainly have a lot sadness about Esben's death, I have a feeling Artham and Nia had it much worse, Artham with his nearly decade-long guilt about leaving Esben and knowing exactly where he was yet never telling anyone, while dealing with a ton of mental issues and literally wanting to die, and Nia with loosing Esben twice and having basically no one who could understand to talk to about it. Not to mention Nia's kids were literally being hunted and the Hollows were under attack 24/7, I can't imagine how much it must've been for her with all of that going on at the same time. Writing this paragraph makes me realize just how much those two went through, and I honestly get sadder about it all the time.
Alright, on to your third question, Artham and Esben pre-war were definitely absolute little gremlins. It's basically canon. I mean, those two pulled pranks, were completely unreasonable in fights about food and boats (they literally raced across an entire island just to get a chance with the boat that Esben really liked, all because they couldn't agree who should have the last bowl of soup. Seriously, what the heck was that supposed to be lol). While they would totally be the Kings of Pranks (pardon me, the King and Throne Warden of Pranks) I think they were also besties and you could talk to them about anything, and they would just sit and listen while offering a few words of advice and stuff. I'm gonna cry thinking about it.
Also, I'm pretty sure in one of the books it said that while they were ruling (technically the rulers would be Esben and Nia, but I'm pretty sure the previous High King/Queen's other children would have a higher level of power than in just any other kingdom ((especially the Throne Warden))) it was like, one of Anneira's golden ages or something, so they also had to have been extremely kind and empathetic, while also clear about what rules where in place and should stay in place, and also strategic and stuff like that.
Ok, this is probably the longest post I've ever written, I sort of just read your ask and ran with it lol. Thank you so much for the ask! I loved reading it and thinking about how to answer. :)
#Wingfeather saga#long post#artham wingfeather#esben wingfeather#nia wingfeather#thanks for the ask!

Assorted Lines 2 — Low Spirits
((First of all, I'm missing Arisaka's third line. ;w; I'll add it in when I find it, but it's left blank for now. Second, ouch. I think I'm missing context for a lot of these, but plenty of them (especially Springfield's...) still HURT. Look at all of this pain. The angst. Canon loves me. so much!))

3: ???
Springfield
1: When you’re injured, my heart hurts... And yet I’m, to Master... I... I shouldn’t be here...

1: How could this be... I dozed off for a moment, and my roasted yam wound up charred...!
2: My heart aches when I think of how tender Arisaka is... I don’t want him to have to stand on the battlefield anymore... And yet, Arisaka is a gun. He can’t become human.
3: My rice grain art that I put such great effort into making has disappeared...! And here I was going to show it to Arisaka...
Hachikyu
1: I wound up falling asleep while eating cup ramen in bed... When I woke up, the bed was a sea of miso soup... Haha...
2: The World Empire... I think about it, sometimes. Things were pretty nice back then, in a way... It’s just... complicated.
3: Damn it... Even though a new game just came out, I can’t play it at all, thanks to all the work Murata’s dumped on me...
Fal
1: My treasured blue cheese...! Someone mistook it for being rotten and threw it away...
2: Earlier, I brushed past a woman on the street, smelled perfume, and... my body went cold, as if my heartbeat itself had frozen over.
3: I dislike flowers... I’m not certain why. There’s no clear reason.
Belga
1: Oww... my stomach hurts...! *sob*...! Help me...! *sob*........!!
2: Bored... I dunno why, but I’m bored... Can you gimme back my gun?
3: Lookin’ at that fish picture guide made me think about my old pet, Angel One... *sob*

What do you recommend that’s a good base pc to build off of over time, one that’s cost effective but good enough to run ts3 and ts4 simultaneously but I can add better graphics cards and ssds later on?
I think it depends, it's hard to really recommend any specific one bc, I've only ever used one, and they don't manufacture them anymore. I also got my PC to play Fallout 4, bc my old PC crapped out, and I was over sims at the time. Considering its open world, and all the mods I would likely cram into it, I didn't wanna waste money on just anything, so I did some research on gaming PC's ( which I'd never bought until then ) and ended up getting an Acer Predator for about 1299$ at the time.
When I bought it, it had a 1060 GTX, 500GB SSD, 1TB HD and 16GB RAM, dealt with 6 years of my bs with not an issue.
Now the reason I say it depends is bc, many games can run on anything honestly, a lotta them these days want to get in as many hands as possible, so making them work well on lower end systems, esp laptops and consoles, is the best way to do that, since a lot of gamers honestly couldn't give chicken noodle soup about how great a game looks, just that it doesn't lag. However if you plan to play on high to ultra settings, with mods and cc, esp high texture cc, you're going to have to keep some things in mind.
Processor
Intel i5's are pretty powerful for the cost, but I'd recommend an i7 if you can fit the bill. Replacing it shouldn't be too difficult, so long as you find one that's compatible with your motherboard, and they tend to cost a little less, and be more readily available than GPU's for instance.
GPU
I've seen some mid-high gaming rigs run on a 1660 GTX which I hear is a pretty good card, they also run a bit cheaper than the 20 or 30 series RTX, and honestly... you don't need a 20 or 30 series RTX to play The Sims 3 or 4, it doesn't even have any built-in options to utilize a lotta the innovative features these cards have.
I played The Sims 4 on ultra on my 1060 GTX, and it ran and looked fine. Though should you decide to upgrade, understand it might be quite costly, and also a bit difficult to find considering we're still technically in a chip shortage.
Memory
16GB is pretty standard these days, anything more is for those into heavy multi-tasking, however some games are beginning to suggest 32GB.
SSD
Main drive needs to be a 500GB SSD minimum... 250 will absolutely get you nowhere with how Windows updates gobble that shit up. You'll also be storing all your saves, mods, and cc on this main drive, so honestly if you can, go for the 1TB, you won't regret it, especially since upgrading mine to a 1TB was an absolute nightmare.
You'll likely need a second drive as well, and although it's common a second drive will be a regular ol' hard drive ( HD ), which is fine, you've gotta install your Spotify app somewhere, do absolutely consider getting another 500GB or larger SSD installed later, games these days basically start at 80GB install size easy, this doesn't include updates and dlc added later, and a drive doesn't run well when it's almost full.
Brands
I've had my Acer Predator desktop for roughly 7 years now, and it's an absolute champ... my husband's Acer Predator Helios on the other hand... crapped out like two years in, he only ever played Skyrim, and only ran it on medium-high settings. So when it comes to brands it's kinda... eh, I would just try to avoid anything that's like HP or Dell... they're kinda iffy and difficult to upgrade unless you're willing to drop 2k+ on an Alienware, I hear a lotta pretty good things about Lenovo tho, and MSI, if a laptop is more your thing.
Finally, a lotta straight out the box gaming rigs are outfitted with AMD processors and cards these days, and they've come a long way over the years. They're pretty powerful now, almost equal and at times even better than their Intel or Nvidia counterparts, but can be more cost effective if price is a big concern.
