What do you think about how the bots would think about seeing pictures or videos of when the kids were smaller. Like a video of Jack in middle school with a lisp from his retainer or pictures of Miko having an awful haircut her parents got for her to make her look more “presentable” as well as her fighting tooth and nail for them not to watch an old video of her piano recitals. Raph’s glasses being a little too big at first because he had insisted on getting glasses from the adult section like his dad and grandpa and they weren’t the right size for his head yet and the multiple little tools he made growing up to try and hold them up until his head grew.
Little things that as they got older they found embarrassing but just are general parts of growing up.
Pfft. This idea is rather humorous. I added my own little twist to it too.
Embarrassing Pictures
The whole situation began when June brought a camera into base to take pictures of the children. It was nothing new, Miko took pictures all the time, so the team didn't question it. However after June started making a fuss over the pictures, trying to convince the children to smile and whatnot, the team became vaguely interested. Once asked, June revealed that she intended to add the photos to her photo album, electing a groan from Jack. And when asked to explain what that was, she told the team all about how she liked to take photos to save and look at again in the future.
Suddenly very interested in seeing photos of the children, the team gathered around June and asked to see her photo albums. June was perfectly happy to oblige and returned to base a day or so later with not only her photo albums, but also ones she had managed to haggle off Rafael's parents and Miko's host family (Why they had the albums was a mystery, but some liked to theorize it was because Miko didn't want her parents to have them to show off). The children were mortified as June put the albums under a magnifier and projected the pictures onto big screen for the bots to see.
Jack's baby pictures came up first. And in the beginning they were pretty tame. It was a few photos of when Jack was an infant and aside from the odd bath photo and a picture of him dressed up as his favorite superhero, everything seemed fine. It was mostly just images of him being a cute kid, which the team found to be both fascinating and adorable. They hadn't realized humans could get any smaller, so seeing a tiny version of Jack doing adorable things not too dissimilar from what sparklings did on Cybertron brought smiles to their faces. Of course then Jack's middle school photos came out and suddenly the teenager couldn't look anyone in the eyes or optics as pictures of him with his braces and then retainer were shown to the team.
Ratchet: *pointing at the picture of Jack with his retainer* Is that some form of human torture?
Arcee: *suddenly very worried* Jack, are you already at home?
Jack: NO! WAIT! I mean-! Look, I had to wear a retainer for a while to fix my teeth, that's it.
Miko: *laughing* You really do look like you are being tortured in that pic!
Jack: Shut up!
Bumblebee: You had to have a cover over your teeth to fix them? Why not just remove them and put them back in the right way?
Rafael: *softly* Bee... no. Humans don't work like that.
Thankfully for Jack, he wasn't the only one who got a taste of humiliation since soon after Miko's own photos came on screen. Just like with Jack, it was mostly cute baby photos (which the team collectively cooed at and more than one may or may not have saved a mental screenshot for later). However by the time her photos from between the ages of eight and twelve were brought up, she started wishing for the sweet release of death.
The worst haircut she had ever gotten was the beginning of the torture. In the photo she was frowning and trying to fight back as she was held in front of the camera, a shoulder length bob cut and bangs taking the place of her usual wild hairstyle. This earned her a bit of mockery from Jack who was still feeling rather bitter about her prodding at his pictures earlier. However it didn't end there, her parents had also recorded several of her recitals which began playing as June hooked them up to the projector. She tried to stop it, but could only watch in horror as the team witnessed her horrendous singing combined with her rather remarkable skill with the piano. The team weren't all that concerned, finding it mostly cute, but Miko wanted to die right then and there.
Bulkhead: You play that instrument well Miko. Why haven't you played that one around base?
Miko: BECAUSE ITS EMBARRASSING!
Optimus: Is it? I find you talent with that instrument rather pleasing.
Ratchet: *under his breath* She screams like a Turbo-fox.
Optimus: *kicking Ratchet lightly* Your voice is lovely too.
Safe to say Miko didn't walk away from her photos being shown around mentally sound. But with Rafael's own photos up next, she opted to try and draw attention away from herself by mocking her younger friend as his baby pictures were displayed.
Rafael honestly didn't have all that many embarrassing photos up until an image of him duct taping his grandfather's glasses onto his face came on screen. Young Rafael was waling as he tried to rip the tape off in the photo, causing the team to chuckle in amusement much to Rafael's horror. After that more and more photos of him trying and failing to wear adult glasses came on screen, each more dooming than the last as Jack and Miko laughed. One image showed him with glasses almost three times the size of his face tied to his head with string as he tried to walk around looking normal only to run into a wall.
Jack: *laughing* You ran into a wall?
Rafael: I was eight!
Miko: You look like a bobblehead!
Rafael: ...
Bumblebee: Why did you not just get normal sized glasses?
Rafael: I wanted to be like the grown ups...
Optimus: That is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, I believe I have some pictures of Bumblebee doing something similar...
Bumblebee: Optimus no! Please no!
It was too late. Before anyone could do anything about it, Optimus helped June put her albums away and highjacked the projector and uploaded images directly from his personal databanks. Bumblebee died a little inside as Optimus unapologetically showed pictures of him being a feral monstrosity and tearing up furniture and consoles around high command. He could only heat up in embarrassment as Optimus then proceeded to show pictures of him doing numerous other things ranging from eating rations like an animal, shooting Prowl with a blaster by accident, to picking out his first earth alt mode and the subsequent car wash that came with it.
Rafael: Why a Volkswagon Beetle? That's such an old model.
Bumblebee: I liked it alright!
Arcee: He thought it was cute.
Bumblebee: NO! I DID NOT!
Ratchet: He did. And he even thought it was the height of motor transportation on your backwater world for nearly a month.
Bumblebee: RATCHET!
As if contented, Optimus finally stopped sharing his pictures after Bumblebee started steaming from the stress of having his past exposed. But Ratchet being the slightly malicious medic that he is took the chance to throw Optimus under the bus in turn. He hooked up to the projector next and began sharing pictures of Optimus back when he was Orion Pax, much to the Prime's silent humiliation. Pictures of him eating wild animals innocently, him screaming at a stray cyber-cat on all fours, him getting drunk as pit the one time he allowed Ratchet to take him to a bar, and all sorts of photos of him gnawing on things came up one after another. It was a different time, but Optimus should have known better than to assume Ratchet wouldn't have collected such incriminating photos of him.
Bulkhead: Prime... are you eating a datapad in that picture?
Optimus: ...
Arcee: Why were you crouched on top of the bookcase with a electro-dove in your mouth in that one?
Optimus: ...
Bumblebee: *squinting at a photo* W-Where you trying to size up a statue?
Optimus: I wasn't always a Prime.
Ratchet: Who could have guessed.
Optimus: You weren't always and honorable medic either Ratchet.
Once again taking his place by the projector, Optimus plugged back in and began airing out all of Ratchet's past escapades for all to see, the children practically forgotten in the midst of the silent battle going on. The Prime quickly began cycling through dozens of photos of Ratchet high as a kite doing stupid scrap like pole dancing, screaming at mecha, and throwing things. And before the medic could process that, Optimus pulled out even more of him competing in street races, competing in drinking contests, and even a video of him swearing up a storm at everyone and everything while drunk. Ratchet could do nothing but silently offline internally as he watched his dark history get replayed.
Bulkhead: So... a party ambulance?
Ratchet: Shut up.
Arcee: I should be asking you what's humming doc.
Ratchet: I was young and dumb. Weren't we all at one point?
Bumblebee: Young and dumb usually points toward breaking someone's window or accidentally trespassing, not getting stoned, drunk, and then doing incriminating things.
Ratchet: ...
It only got worse from there as Ratchet pulled up the pictures he had acquired from Bulkhead and Arcee's files on their own little misadventures as younglings. The children were completely forgotten as the team became focused on airing each other's dirty laundry for all to see. And the children had no problem with that as they watched the dark past's of their favorite Autobots gets shown around like contraband reading material.

Ok, gonna be real and say I love Pixie. I wanna know more about them. Backstories, Traits, Headcanons, and maybe I'm a little curious on how she kills her victims before/after a picture? Like, Does she have weapons or is all her methods hand-made?
Okay I'm gonna do a triple kill with this one. Sry couldn't draw a lot, like I legit can't so here's the story or whatnot. Probs gonna draw those in the future... also I fucking suck at writing but whatever >:T.
Starting off with the third question, no, not really, I know nothing about LoL.
CHILDHOOD
Pixie was created as a male in a loving family, he was specially close with his mother, and would spend most of his childhood surrounded and smothered with female attention as he found it hard to fit in with the male crowd.
His mother was capable of finding positivity and light in any situation even when it seemed like there was none, finding beaty behind every corner, shaping Pixie's world view that in every bad, there's something good. She quickly became Pixie's biggest role model.
EARLY TEENS
After the sudden death of both of his parents, Pixie struggled to find his positivity in life again. He would dress in female clothing, just like his mom used to wear so he could feel like their bond never fell apart.
"You'll always be a part of me"
One day, a group of girls approached him. They wanted him to be a part of their group. Being used to female attention, he fit right in. Pixie enjoyed his new friend group, and he started feeling better about his life.
Eventually, Pixie decided to change from he to she. He felt like it was the right thing to do for himself.
------
"Pixie take a picture of us!"
"Um.. okay, gather around"
***
"We look amazing!"
"Pixie, you're so good at this! You should be a photographer"
------
Noticing her hidden talent, they begged her not to waste it and pursue photography. And she did. She took pictures of strangers, her surroundings, and other... but most of all, her friends.
LATE TEENS
Pixie now an art enthusiast obsessed with constantly taking pictures, started annoying her friend group. Following them around, taking pictures of all of their activities but yet not sharing those pictures with others.
"Show me!"
"No, it looks bad, I'm gonna delete it" * "I'm just practicing, that's all, experimenting"
"You should ask us before taking pictures. It's uncomfortable"
"Ye-Yeah.. you're right..."
Pixie felt like her friend group had changed a lot over the years, she felt like she didn't fit in anymore. She didn't quite understand boundaries.. as her art was her everything and felt like her favorite muses... were slowly turning against her, stopping her from picturing perfection.
She still took pictures secretly. And became really good at hiding them,also collected many different cameras over the years. One of her favorites being the instant [Polaroid] and the DSLR.
-------
Of course, nothing can be hidden forever..
"YOU DID IT AGAIN! WE TOLD YOU ALREADY TO STOP!"
"I'm just practicing, that's-"
" I thought you stopped. We trusted you"
"And you still did it behind our backs? This whole time?"
"No, it was just this time"
"Show me the camera"
"No!"
"Give it to me!"
"No!"
------
"We were right! You were taking pics of us this entire time!"
"You don't understand! the beaty I have captured!"
"I can't believe I was friends with a weird creep"
-----
As Pixie's world started to crash and burn, her comfort was destroyed again. She still tried taking pictures of strangers and places, but it didn't feel the same, it wasn't them. They were her favorites, after all.
"What are you do-"
"If you don't want to be my muse, I'll make you my muse"
After failing to convince one of her ex friends to accept her again into the group, Pixie snapped. Killing her ex friend.
She played with her body, posing it differently, decorating it, putting accessories on it. Each picture looked prettier than the last.
"We could've taken these beautiful pictures with you alive, but you refused, look what you made me do... "
She stared at the body for what seemed like an eternity.
"How can you be dead? But still.. so beautiful, it's like you're sleeping peacefully, unbothered by the reality of our world. Type of beauty I never could've captured before..."
-------
*Unfortunately, we couldn't find the killer*
Even when it was obvious that Pixie did it, no one believed it. Someone so cavordly, shy and weak attacking someone and destroying their body to the point of no return seemed so out of character for her.
YOUNG ADULTHOOD
Her first kill being a success, she was hungry for more, why ask someone to pose for you when you can do it yourself. More and more "accidents" occurred. Eventually, Pixie gained an ego out of it. Hearing everyone scared for their life talk about this mysterious killer in the colony, it made her feel special. She started leaving pictures of her previous kills next to the new bodies, leaving messages on the walls and a lot more, playing with everyone's emotions made her feel powerful. Not only would she appear in front of every crime scene, pretending to be a part of the scared and worried crowd. She would also take pictures of the scared crowd all together, secretly leaving those pictures next to the bodies as well, and somehow she still walks freely.
"Nothing will stop me from finding beaty in everyone. Anything can be your weapon, you just have to be creative enough to see it"
-------
Knowing that her patterned kills are going to get her caught someday, she plans on framing someone else for all of her crimes.
EH sorry that's it for now. I legit can't draw anything these days, my dudes I'm struggling. I'm having one more small idea and I'll be gone working on Fate and other big projects that I've started. I realize that I can't balance it all and it's just too much, especially cuz I'm not feeling well and whatnot. My burning willpower is kinda dying out so imma step back for some time...
Also since it's like a new oc, I didn't figure out everything just yet so forgive me for that.
@gollygee-mr-universe yes you may, if you like the character a lot, go play with them haha. As everyone probs knows already. Whatever you guys make with my ocs, whatever you draw and do is acceptable and welcome. I swear I'd enjoy anything. It is in fact for fun.

Long time no bookbinding! This is the wonderful right where I should be, a soukoku series by @feralrookie that makes me go, well, feral XD Heather's writing is hypnotic and heartbreaking, and the way she writes Dazai and Chuuya especially hits every single button in my soukoku-rotted hamster brain.
Some process chatter and more glamor pics, under the cut! <3
This bind underwent several design revisions in the six-month period between me asking for Heather's permission to bind in May and just this morning when I finished, mostly because I fell down hard into two other crafting rabbit holes LOL (crochet and dressmaking!). But can I just say--even though they might've derailed my bookbinding for a bit, I'm really glad I chased those bunnies, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten my hands on the fabric I eventually repurposed for the bookcloth!
Originally, I wanted a red/black color scheme for this book, but no matter how I fiddled with the typesetting and design sketches and whatnot, everything I came up with seemed to fall short of what I was going for. But there's this gut-wrenching, beautiful scene in the first one shot of the collection, stay up through the night, where Dazai and Chuuya are sitting on a city rooftop stargazing, and that image of them just looking up at the stars stuck with me for months, even as I got sidetracked with other crafty things and design ideas. Enter the dressmaking fabric--that dreamy, faux-velvet--and everything quickly settled into place.
And because Dazai's bandages are so iconic, I just had to incorporate them into the design! Each of the title pages separating the works in the series features hand-drawn stars and a section of a very long bandage/ribbon that I drew in Clip Studio Paint. It took a bit of fiddling with the brush settings to get the look that I wanted, but I'm really happy with the results :3
Aaaaaaaand finally, even though I ended up not using this cover spread, I figured it'd be a shame if I didn't show it, because I really love how it brings all the works in the series together!
Okay, long post over for now! This was a really fun challenge, and I'm so happy with how it came out. All my love once again to Heather for letting me bind her gorgeous work, and to end this post, a line from that made me sob my eyes out when I first read it!
"I have seen you at your worst,” the tip of his nose, “and I have loved you at your cruelest,” the corner of his mouth, “and I have never once regretted it.” (Chapter 6 of in the house that you built me)
All my love! <3

Sinthia Lore post!
Below the cut!
Don't worry about the pic, I was just doing some facial expression practice lol
Here it is! Sinthia lore stuff/info! I'll start with physical details:
Though it may be hard to tell, her whole body is actually fuzzy. She does her best to smooth most of it down.
Out of the main cast, she is the tallest by far. Sadly most buildings around her don't account for her height, so she oftentimes has to lean down to get into places.
Since I had to redesign her legs (and she no longer has four of them) I decided to give her spider feet.
She does have venom, but it's pretty benign and not that dangerous. So her main self-defense mechanism is actually kicking. Considering her height, it's very effective.
She will have many different outfits, most of them will have some sort of spider theme.
She's based on a Simaetha Jumping spider. So, as the name implies, she's quite good at jumping and climbing.
She has gold patterns on her body, but she hides most of them under her clothes. It's part of why she always wears gloves.
Okay, time for more in depth stuff now.
Sinthia is both a witch and a seamstress. She makes mostly clothing, and likes to enchant what she makes. Sometimes she just does little spells, like clothes that change color. Sometimes she makes more substantial things like clothes that shift to fit better or change size.
She does her best to seem confident and collected, but she has her own insecurities and issues like anyone else. She feels a need for validation. She likes it when people find her impressive or beautiful, so she worries about people getting "too close". She thinks if people know her too well, they'll lose interest or think less of her.
She doesn’t really care about labels when it comes to her sexuality. She’s not straight, but she doesn’t really know/care what to call herself, she just likes who she likes.
She loves boots. Wearing them, making them, doesn't matter. She really likes thigh-high boots.
She has a lot of siblings. Nine of them, in fact. She's the 10th sibling. She wasn't given a lot of attention and love like her other siblings, which is part of why she wants so many people to pay attention to her.
She doesn’t have a good relationship with her parents.
She sometimes helps Dr Damus by making materials for him (she makes clothes on commission) like new masks, gloves, etc.
Side note:
She and Samwell know each other, they're kind of friends(?) They aren’t super close. She pulls pranks on him and he still hasn't caught on to one of them. A few years ago, Sinthia enchanted part of his farm to grow zucchini no matter what. Sounds great right? Well.. Now he can't grow anything else in that part of his farm. Only zucchini. I'll explain how he handles it in his lore post later on, this post is about Sinthia.
How about some Sinthia x Y/N stuff?
Sinthia's spider abdomen (aka: "spider butt") shakes when she really likes someone, similar to when a dog wags their tail.
If Y/N is shorter than her, (which is common) there's a high chance that she'll hold them/lift them off the ground often. Carry them around and whatnot :)
She finds couples dancing really romantic.
She will make her s/o clothes. She's a designer, she makes clothes, so yeah, she'll dress up her significant other. If she gets married, she'll make the wedding attire.
Y/N is not safe from small, mischievous pranks. Prank her back.
She'll only trust someone she's really close with to see her hidden patterns, since she's self-conscious about them. ( fun fact: her "fingerless gloves" aren't actually fingerless. She just designed them to look like fingerless gloves).
She’s practically nocturnal, not an early bird at all, so don’t try to wake her up in the morning, it’s a good way to get spider-kicked.
She doesn’t really care for flowers, she does like gems though! She can use them in her work, enchant them, or just keep them.
I’m still working out her character, like all the others, lol.

i just reread ll (after seeing that yoongi pic on twt..... loml) AND UGH IM SO MAD AT THAT FIGHT WHY DID HE SAY THAT AND OH MY GOD WHERE IS OC SLEEPING OMG DID SHE STAY THE NIGHT AT TAEHYUNGS (not like that ..... nasties 😑) WHATS GOING ON. WHAT IS JUNGKOOK GONNA DO WHEN YOONGI OR SEOKJIN FIND HIM WHAT IF YOONGI KILLS HIM OR SMTH
cold senior!y/n x stem major!koo masterlist :D
you leave jungkook alone in your dorm after a fight — but at the same time, he gets left alone with yoongi and jin, who still aren't sure what to think of him especially now
aka part two of the ll couple's first fight
"i think i'm gonna crash."
seokjin yawns and says out loud without the knowledge that he's speaking out loud, his hands fumbling for the dorm keys amongst the numerous keychains he has a knack for collecting
"you drank one cup of coffee, jin," yoongi snorts because as far as he recalls two hours ago, jin even made him drink his remaining coffee because he couldn't take any more
yeah well sCREW jin for trying to stay awake the whole day alright!!!! he made a roadtrip out of scouring each individual part he wanted to add to his fancy PC setup he's been saving a pretty penny for
he doesn't say it at all but yoongi carries immense happiness in tagging along with errands even if it serves him no purpose <3 sometimes he just likes being a keychain to his best friends and he's happy!!
"yeah, hot coffee — the worst," jin elaborates his dislike for hot coffee even if both you and yoongi heard it a hundred times before
he's noisily trying to find the right key and he's surprised you haven't woken up and just oPENED the door for them, but he's cluelessly and thoroughly entertaining yoongi aka the guy who hAS his own key yet refuses to use just so that he could see his friend suffering some more
at this point, your neighbors probably think you’re getting robbed but thankfully jin finally manages to put in the right key, a satisfactory sigh leaving him when it finally clicks and turns the right way
the dorm is dark and noT dim like what they’re used to, probably something to be blamed to the hellfire of rain that’s going on outside
jin’s carelessly removing his shoes by his own feet, only stopping when yoongi harshly pinches him on the side before he does it to himselF on the inside of his arm
“ow! what was-“
he soothes the sore spot on his side because yoongi can reallyyyyyy put his two fingers close without pinching and therefore make it hurt even more, eyes all around the place before it stops on a familiar figure
a familiar figure, sure. welcome? not exactly.
"huh. you're still here? are you staying the night?"
seokjin asks out loud to jungkook who’s standing by himself beside the couch with his hands bunched, worried eyes fixed on them
"where's y/n?"
yoongi asks and it’s made evident how the both of them have different intentions to acquire for, but they all boil down to you nonetheless
jungkook’s throat dries because it hasn’t even been an hour that he’s left alone in yoor dorm, not expecting it either that your two friends would come home this quick
"that's the thing,” he mumbles and yoongi picks it up first, slithering around jin to confirm if he’s really hearing jungkook
what does he mEAN that’s the thing???
"y/n left."
jungkook’s with the two of them now but oddly enough, he doesn’t feel cornered even if the two of them are positioned as if they’re trapping him
he feels more alone than he is cornered, fresh tears stinging at the back of his eyes that he doesn’t want to show yoongi nor jin
"what did you just say?" yoongi asks more in confusion than in disbelief, narrowing his eyes at your boyfriend
"why would she leave at this hour and at this weather? not to mention, leave you alone with us."
jin raises a valid point to put into everyone’s head how bizarre the situation is and not to spook jungkook out, but it sounds like the latter to him which is why he snorts at the startled look
"calm down, kid. we're not gonna rough you up if that's what you're thinking," he reminds him because they’re not tHAT unhinged when it comes to you, walking to the refrigerator to down the nearest water bottle, ".... not unless??"
he still carries a playful edge to him because as much as he’s worried about you, atleast one of the three of them in this room should be far from having a breakdown to level the others
yoongi’s not done with his questioning streak because he presses further, sitting at the couch in your exact seat that makes jungkook gulp
god it’s now just hitting him that you left
"why did she leave?"
"w-we fought."
there’s slight hesitance in his tone because he’s not exactly surE if he should be telling that he fought with you to your friends, but he sets aside the possible consequences because after all, it’s you that they’re conversing about
yoongi nods to himself, having a hunch that the both of you must’ve fought and when he looks up at him, he only belatedly realizes that your boyfriend’s now blonde
"what did you do?"
he goes straight for it, startling jungkook
he’s not necessarily offended that yoongi asked him what he did because if you ask him, this is really aLL his fault
"i-i'll get to that but uh shouldn't we look for y/n first?"
...
..... okay that was understandable
yoongi knows where he’s coming from, nodding to acknowledge him
"not the first time this happened," he admits quietly and that leaves jungkook speechless, watching him intently which is why it made sense that yoongi’s not out of his mind panicking just like he is, "y/n left the dorm when she and seokjin fought."
yoongi says it even quieter and jungkook gets why, because as low as his mumble went, seokjin still managed to hear it
it must’ve been a sore spot that jin doesn’t want to tell him all about, atleast right now, because he looks down to his feet as if he’s been burnt
"it was a serious fight, but it was long ago,” he mumbles under his breath and the reminder of their fight which he’s tried to bury in the back of his head throws him off his feet slightly, “she doesn't really leave when it's just a petty fight or something."
yoongi somberly smiles at jin as some sort of apology for bringing it up, not wanting to put salt on the wounds as he just redirects his attention to jungkook
"i'm asking you for the last time, jungkook — what did you do?"
there’s no direct pressure behind his words but the three of them know that it would drastically help if he just said so
there’s no moral compass that he tries to steer because he himself wants to tell yoongi and jin, even if it means having to put the little respect and love they have for him on the line
jungkook doesn’t sugarcoat and retells all the way from what happened with the hoseok situation until he finishes with what happened merely an hour ago, almost scared to look up at the both of them
jin humorlessly chuckles and shakes his head to himself, still perched against the kitchen counter
"low fucking blow, kid."
surprisingly, yoongi became the lenient one
jungkook’s head aches because the two of them switched attitudes in a matter of minutes!!!! jin is the one that sounds like he hates being in the same room as him and yoongi is the one that tolerates hin generally
he could oNLY assume that the retelling of the events must’ve hit jin one way or another, somehow connected to what the two of you fought about long ago
yoongi takes the liberty to speak after jin’s remark, nudging jungkook by the knee to sit beside him
"y/n's hurt, of course, because as much as she had flings and casual fucks and whatnot," he trails around but doesn’t look to jungkook who’s wide-eyed thy he’s even letting him sit beside him, “you're her first boyfriend."
...
....
...... what
“i am?”
jungkook asks in confusion and the regret creeps up to him not a second later, the ringing in his ears blocking out the rain and even jin’s announcement that he’ll call you
he nods and kook knows that he’s not only saying this to pull at his tail, simply because he’s aware that yoongi doesn’t joke around with him
with jin entering his room to call you, that leaves him alone with yoongi and it barely registers in his head that this is the first time it’s only the two of them after that time when he threatened to give him a knuckle sandwich and the sort
"was starting to entertain and like the idea of you in y/n's life — our lives, y'know?"
yoongi initiates conversation and kook gets startled even more, tripping over his words because he can’t grasp at the situation fully
"i'm sorry, yoongi. i-i really am."
"hate to say this but," he clicks the roof of his mouth with his tongue, fiddling with his bracelets, "i know you are."
???
jungkook’s confusion at your friend’s words is what distracts him from his remorse, not believing his ears
yoongi believes him??? he knOws that he actually feels sorry for having done what he did??
"y/n doesn't like being accused, i think no one really does," he starts off carefully, “it's not my story to tell but it's for you to understand that y/n, y'know...."
jungkook swallows the lump on his throat for whatever yoongi’s gonna say next, a furrow in his brow as he chooses his words
“she doesn't come from a past wherein assurance is at face value,” he clears his throat, "that's all i can tell you."
jungkook nods and he tries to contain his thoughts because he doesn’t want to assume. he’s only gonna take what you give and he’ll willingly wait for that time you tell him all about his past
he does have a clue about your family because he asked that one time if he’d be meeting your parents because you’re a senior and you’re graduating soon, but you only shaked your head no and said “yoongs and jin are enough” for your ceremony
yoongi feels sorry, but he’s not sure for who :(
all he knows is that his heart aches, even if it’s for the boy in front of him that he swore he’d hate, but is now unconsciously worming his way into his heart
he’s no stranger to what jungkook feels because he felt the same type of territoriality and the insecurity that came along with it — the one he used to have over you, in that platonic soulmate sense he didn’t realize at the time
"it's not my place to tell you either, but sooner or later, insecurity will consume you, jungkook."
the guy in question nods eagerly because yoongi manages to address the struggle he has in his mind, acknowledging the issue at-hand fully
"y/n can't baby you forever,” yoongi sighs, “but you can't be ditched whenever she feels like it either."
:O
did...
did yoongi just take his side.....
jungkook kNOWS in the back of his head that yoongi’s neutral, but it all just registers in his head that for the first time, yoongi’s on his side, even in a sense
"talk it out. just sleep in her room for the meantime. fix it in the morning,” he starts to gather himself to stand, pausing to look at jungkook in the eye, "i'd hate to see my soulmate hurting."
the thing is, jungkook knows that yoongi’s your soulmate :-)
you told him that once and as much as you explained that it was only platonic, jungkook quickly understood it, much to your surprise
he knows he doesn’t know the entirety of you, but he knows that when he looks at yoongi, he’s looking at you too :)
yoongi gives him the ghost of a smile, making jungkook blink twice
"sooner or later, the two of us need to talk."
jungkook’s contented with that, smiling back at him
"good night, yoongi."
"good night, jungkook."
( ♡ )
ok.,.,.
“don’t come home, it’s pouring. or go back to your dorm, whatever. i don’t care.”
okay you dO in fact care!!!
it’s been more or less two hours since you left the dorm and you know this because jungkook’s been texting you without fail, only stopping twenty minutes ago that makes you look at the time
it’s 11 o’clock :O
either he’s asleep like he usually would be at this time, or he walked home
in fact, you don’t even know if jungkook is still at your dorm
your phone rings all of a sudden that it makes you flinch, scrambling to see who it was and you don’t know if it’s disappointment or relief coating you when you saw that it was jin
"and where is my favorite girl at this time of the night?"
you could only chuckle as you share a glance with the person whose dorm you crashed in, sending an eager greeting with his mouth full
"i'm at taehyung's. we're eating brownies right now."
when you knocked on tae’s door just two hours ago, the only thing he greeted you with was with a towel!!
he didn’t ask why you’re practically soaked in front of his doorstep because for whatever it is, it must probably be in good reason
truth be told, you didn’t even knOw where you were supposed to go but then tae popped into your head as the only sane person you know that would let you in at this time of the night without prior notice
it was a simple “jungkook and i fought.” to which he only nodded to, turned on the tv for you, and started baking brownies
"mhmm. what kind?"
you chew on the chocolate fudge, slightly chuckling at what jin’s insinuating
"the kind that doesn't leave you disoriented."
he hums at that and you could picture him swiveling on his gaming chair he bought just a week ago, his phone tucked to his ear closely
"the same kind that makes you able enough to come home tonight?"
"yeah,” you breathlessly agree, fiddling with the matching bracelet you have with jungkook, “same kind."
you could only assume now that they've seen jungkook and he's still saying there, all alone but with them
your heart warms at the thought that indirectly, jin’s making you come home to reunite you with jungkook, knowing that there’s an impending conversation sooner or later
"want me to pick you up? you'll get a cold."
"i'll borrow tae's umbrella. i'll come home when we finish the brownies."
the both of you know that it’s code for you just wanting a little more time before you come back, and also because you really wanna dO finish the brownies that tae warmly made for yoy
"mkay," jin smiled at your response, "i'll lock the door but just send me a text and i'll open it for you."
"won't you be sleeping?"
"i'll stay up. i'm not sleepy."
jin replies just as quick, a complete 180 to what he said when he initially came home that he wanted to crash because of the hot coffee he drank
you wordlessly thank him and he acknowledges it, happy to atleast know that you heeded his concern for you to come home tonight
"get home safe. love you."
it’s not only minutes later than you thank taehyung immensely and promise to take him to the aquarium as your thanks, finding yourself in your dorm that seokjin ushers you into with a peck on your head
you rush to your room and you’re greeted with the airconditioning turned on, seeing a lump beneath your comforter that you automatically know it’s jungkook sleeping
you're still damp from the rain but you change quickly to the first set of clothes you can grab from your drawers, not wasting a second longer
you sneak into your own bed, the same one that’s carrying jungkook
his sleep hasn’t even been the deepest and the moment he feels a shuffle beside him, he’s woken up immediately
“i’m here.”
jungkook realizes it’s you with the way your voice is soft and the way you hold his arm when you climb into the covers, wordlessly embracing him from behind
"i'm sorry. it's all my fault,” he says sincerely as he turns his body so he could face you, caging you in with his arm
"i'm sorry i stormed out on you."
he feels you nuzzle to the crook of his neck and it calms him down, the familiar scent of you enough to make his eyes close without fear
it only hits you now that this is the first time the two of you cuddle, much less share a bed
"love you."
it’s barely audible but it leaves you nonetheless, not expecting a reply in return but you get one anyways from a sleepy yet overwhelmingly-content jungkook
"i love you the most."
.
.
.
as always, lmk what you think!! i love answering asks :D what do you want to see from the lunchbox lovers next? send them here <3

While I'm still trying to get myself back into the writing mindset - thanks to a certain new game having shifted it elsewhere - here, have some old stuff. Since Tumblr for me was supposed to be a 'just throw stuff in, no matter the quality, just, post, anything, just do it' kinda place for me. So indeed, stuff
They're a handful of months old by now, drawn on different papers so I went and collectively tossed them together in one place. A handful of them have been altered after these chibies were drawn, details here and there, different structures and such there... Yeah. They old at this point
The dealio behind these for the most part was for me to just do Something (since I hadn't drawn anything in a while). But the second dealio was the fact that after I made a sketch of sorts for the armor to try and get a better hold of it and all those details... You know, my mind kinda went 'if I'm ever to have fullbody pics of those side characters, I'm gonna have to scale them down'. And that's what I did. Make 'em small. And speedy. Just to have a general idea of the characters in some way
Also, obviously, I'm breaking rules in giving their armor different things and whatnot. Since one main idea in a mass of an army is to have everyone look the same, intimidation and hard to tell people apart as an enemy, etc etc. But I'm here for character designing and darn if I ain't gonna mangle things here and there especially so the characters can be told apart. You can't stop me because I follow no law
Oh right, also there's Raven Beak here. Yeah he'd be far too big on his own, because of what Tumblr likes doing. Fitting really huh? Dunno you might not have heard of him, he's a really obscure small character, an easter egg of sorts, aw man. Jokes aside I did sketch Quiet Robe too but wasn't too happy with how that one came out so I need to work on it still
And all of these honestly, since they're just sketches waiting to be finished
#Metroid#Metroid Dread#Chozo#Chozo OC#Yeah hi there's so many of them. Just run. Save yourself#Raven Beak#Yes. Mister bald old man is here too#Having him alone would give him too much power#I'll get back to that writing thing soon I swear

Kyidyl Does Archaeology - Part 5
(as per usual, all these posts are collected under the KyidylCL tag)
Pottery and shErds
So, what are we talking about today? Well, I think the next thing is gonna be pottery. This is where we’re gonna talk about time, space, and dating a site. Because most people think that the only way to date an archaeological site is via C14. That’s not true, and actually we don’t always do it. C14 dating can have some problems, including that the wood used in the fire is likely older than the time in which it was cut down and burned. It also only goes back 50,000 years, so anything older than that won’t have any carbon isotopes (it’ll have all decayed), and we have to use other things that are more expensive. And c14 testing itself is expensive - we sent in 2 samples and it was around $500/sample so we spent about $1000 on testing. Instead, there are other ways to date a site and one of the most accurate is pottery.
See, like all other kinds of material culture (AKA, stuff people leave behind. Non-material culture is like...song and story and stuff like that.), pottery follows stylistic trends and trends in how it was made. And it does this both regionally and chronologically. Which is great, because if we find bits of one type of pottery we know is made in one place in a settlement in another place, then we know the two people traded with each other. But I have to explain something else so that determining a date from pottery makes sense.
Every area of the country has what’s called a “type site” for a given period of time. In undergrad I was lucky enough to actually get to work on the type site for the Safety Harbour period, which is Weedon Island....ironically enough there’s a Weedon Island period and Weedon Island isn’t the type site for that period so uuuhhh...yeah it’s weird lol. Anyway, a type site is a site that is considered stereotypical for a given time and place in history. Usually they’re large and well-preserved, and they’re often the first sites found in that time period/area (but not always, which is how the above weirdness happened.). And so what happens is we dig ‘em and analyze the finds and do testing on those finds. So now we know “hey, this kind of pottery comes from here and it is X years old”. Now you know when you find it in other places where and when it comes from. This is all a very generalized explanation, but I think any more is like extraneous detail you don’t need. Just know that things like type sites help us determine where and when stuff like pottery was made. Lots of literature usually exists for type sites, but I actually can’t remember the type site for this area for this time period.
We also use a term called “diagnostic”, which is used much as it is in medicine. If we find a certain thing that was only made during a specific time period or in a certain place, then it’s diagnostic. IE, a certain kind of pottery is diagnostic of the late, middle, or early Woodland. The pottery we have at our site is diagnostic of the late Woodland. Some of the lithics we thought might be a bit earlier, but honestly I think that was just misidentification by the site director bc we were in the field at the time. Lastly, identifying pottery has a few components. Color and decoration I think are easy to understand (they didn’t have glazes, but you can make different colored pottery by varying the composition of the clay and the temperature at which it is fired.). Paste and temper are the other two. IDK how modern pottery is made, but old ass pottery is made with paste - the main body of the clay, the matrix that contains the temper - and temper. Temper is stuff they’d crush up and mix in to help it not break during firing and heating during normal use. So we combine these factors to ID the pottery and thus the age of the site and trading habits of the people in question. One last thing you need to understand about pottery - ancient people used pottery the way that we use disposable things. They didn’t think it was like an important thing that had to keep safe. They’d use it until it broke and then toss it in the garbage pit and make a new one. So it’s really common and we find it all over the place, but TBH in the future pottery *won’t* be diagnostic anymore because our ceramics come in such a wide variety that we couldn’t possibly hope to narrow down time or place.
Alright, so who wants pictures? You, of course. Who *doesn’t* want pictures? Here’s some of the pottery we found:
This is the larger shard that I found in the features I’ve talked about in previous installments. You can see where I accidentally broke it. >.> Anyway it’s kind of unique bc of the light color outside and the black inside. It’s like...idk, 4 or so inches long.
This is a rim piece that I happened to find two matching sherds of. I always check the rim pieces because the patterns on them usually make them easier to fit together. Honestly I’ve got hundreds of pot sherds from this site and I don’t have the sanity to try and make pots from them.
This is the outside and inside respectively of the largest piece we have. TBH taking this thing out of its box and handling it makes me nervous because of how large it is - about the size of my hand, but I did include my earbuds for scale. The black is charring from both firing and subsequent use, and it came out of the pit feature I’ve been talking about. And do you wanna know the cool thing about the inner surface of pottery? Because they didn’t use glazes, the surface was porous and retains the unique chemical traces of what was made in them. However, the vast majority of the time those kinds of tests aren’t done because archaeology as a whole is extremely underfunded and trace chemical analysis of pot residue is an expensive test requiring expensive equipment and expensive scientists. Funnily enough I probably could do some of this testing bc I used to be premed and so I’ve taken a lot of chemistry and know how to read a mass spec thing, but I don’t have access to the chemicals or tools to do these kinds of tests. Plus, they’re often destructive...which....I mean...there’s so much pottery that it doesn’t really matter if one piece gets destroyed but like you do still have to be careful *which* piece you destroy.
Anyway, you also can see the striations on the outside piece, and that’s decoration on the pot. It probably also helped with gripping it. This is a piece of Shepardware, which is diagnostic of the late Woodland period in the Shenandoah valley. Here’s some more cool pottery:
This is a random assortment of the kind of stuff we regularly pull out of the ground when it comes to pottery. The most common kind we have is the orange on one side black on the other (3 upper rt pieces), whiteish (upper left 2), orange on both sides (lower left 3) and totally black (lower right 3). All of ‘em are some variety of shepard or pageware. You can see the texture on a lot of them, too. We have a good mix of textured and untextured, and that’s why the composition of the pottery is more diagnostic than the decoration. Frankly, people can and will put whatever design they think looks cool. But they made that particular design by wrapping twine around the end of a flat stick and pressing it into the surface of the wet clay. I also chose those two upper right pieces because they have really visible temper. Here’s a side shot of one of them:
You can see how big the bits are compared to my fingers (yeah, there’s dirt under my nails....I haven’t taken some tweezers to them yet after working on the car.). And...wait, I WAS going to try to describe this to you but then I was like “no, they deserve better” and I broke out my DSLR and my macro lens and took some pics. Here are some macros of the temper:
The white balance is a little off on the top one...the bottom one is more true to color (they aren’t the same piece of pottery, but they are a similar color). So you can see that it’s crushed up limestone. Pardon the depth of field on those...I had to open the aperture pretty wide to get one that wasn’t blurry bc I don’t exactly have bright lights in my room.
Anyway....so that’s the pottery we’ve gotten at the site and what we can learn from it. It’s going to take some time before we can start determining patterns and whatnot in regards to style, but we do have some evidence of trading here because some of the pottery we have is from the piedmont culture....
...wait, let me explain what that means. When archaeologists need to describe a group of people who existed in a given place in a given time based on similarities in material culture regardless of ethnic and social grouping we call it a culture. This is different than the standard meaning of the world culture, or even the way a cultural anthropologist would use the word. So when I say the piedmont culture, I mean people that lived in the general area of the Piedmont plateau during the late woodland. They were of varying tribes, languages, etc. And we do this to describe the extant boundaries of cultural influence of particular trends in physical objects and not the social groupings of the humans in question. So, for example, lots of people are familiar with the Clovis culture. When archaeologists use this term we mean “these are the boundaries of the places we are finding physical objects in the group we’ve named Clovis” not “everyone in this area was a Clovis person”. Like no, obviously, they weren’t. There were tons of social groups, tribes, etc. that were all distinct and different. It’s a way of mapping cultural influence via physical objects to see how far they spread and who was using them.
So, we have some piedmont stuff despite not being in the piedmont area, so we know that they were trading with those natives. If you’re interested in more detail here, this is the VDHR resource I use for IDing pottery. It looks like it came to visit you from the late 1990s, but the info is good and it’s easy to use.
Anyway, that’s it for tonight. Tomorrow is gonna be rocks and weird stuff, depending on how much I end up saying about rocks. Probably not much bc we know how I feel about rocks. ;)

LGBT BLM Solidarity Collection
I had something completely different planned for 2020′s Pride Month, but in light of the recent Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality and racial inequality, I decided to create this year’s TS3 content in support of both movements: LGBT+ and BLM.
I uploaded everything separately, so that y’all can pick and choose which stuff y’all want. Some of the CC are default replacements for basegame content, and content that requires the University EP.
Included are 5 basegame decor objects:
LGBT BLM Solidarity Banners
LGBT BLM Solidarity Pennants
LGBT BLM Solidarity Posters
LGBT BLM Solidarity Wall Decals
UNI Booth as End Table for LGBT BLM Solidarity (BASEGAME)
Plus 6 retextures for EA’s functional items:
EA Picket Sign Default Replacement (BLM) Deltalbuild
EA Picket Sign Default Replacement (LGBT) Deltalbuild
EA Picket Sign Default Replacement (BLM) Fullbuild
EA Picket Sign Default Replacement (LGBT) Fullbuild
UNI EP Booth Default Replacement for BLM (REQUIRES UNI EP)
UNI EP Booth Default Replacement for LGBT (REQUIRES UNI EP)
NOTE: You can only install ONE (1) Default Replacement retexture for each Deltabuild type, each Fullbuild type, or each Booth type at a time.
FLAWS: Sorry all the retextures are so grainy -- the UV maps are TINY. U_U
And also included are 5 CAS items:
Black Lives Matter Tshirts for Kids
Black Lives Matter Tshirts for Toddlers
LGBT Jacket Tops for YA/AM
LGBT Ships Jacket Tops Pt1 (Spartacus) for YA/AM
LGBT Ships Jacket Tops Pt2 (Shadowhunters) for YA/AM
And that’s everything! Enjoy!
Download folders: Mediafire | SimFileShare
Descriptions & preview pics under the cut:
OBJECTS / RETEXTURES
EA Picket Signs
I took EA’s regular protest signs and retextured them.
There’s one version for Black Lives Matter:
And there’s another version for LGBT+ Pride:
Y’all can cycle through ALL the variations in my post here.
I was confused making these, cuz there’s picket sign textures in TS3′s Deltabuild game file AND Fullbuild game file. The Fullbuild version has more variations, and is the one that actually showed up in my game, but IDK if that’s cuz of the kind of protest I started? I know there are Basegame protests, and University EP Protests, but IDEK which are which, so have all of them. XD
You can only install ONE Deltabuild and ONE Fullbuild sign together at a time!
BOOTHS
There are 2 variations, for BLM or LGBT+.
NOTE: You can only install ONE (1) variation at a time!
The retextured default replacement booths REQUIRE the UNI EP!
There is also a BASEGAME Booth as End Table version, which has decorative slots to it so you can place megaphones and extra fliers or whatnot on them.
WALL ART
LGBT BLM Solidarity Banners
LGBT BLM Solidarity Posters
LGBT BLM Solidarity Pennants & LGBT BLM Solidarity Wall Decals
Like a doofus I forgot to take more pics of these, my bad. U_U
_______________________________________________
CAS CC
BLM Tshirts for Kids & Toddlers
I love Circasims’ BLM shirts, but I looked all over for ones for kids and couldn’t find anything, so I just quickly took all the stencils and slapped them on EA’s basegame tshirts.
LGBT Jackets as Tops
I took the Gucci-fied frankenmesh I created here, and redid all the patches and pins for Pride! 🏳️🌈🌈
LGBT Jacket Top for YA/AM
I realized that I’d eventually want a few generic jackets, and whipped up variations for Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Asexual. The Queer/Pan version is the exact same one I used for Gwyn ap Nudd, cuz laziness.
NOTE: The personalized jackets don’t make much sense if you’re not familiar with the characters and my gameplay headcanons for them. I wasn’t gonna share them at all, initially, but figured the more the merrier? XD
Y’all can see more pics of the patches & pins in my post here: Generic, Spartacus, Shadowhunters.
LGBT Ships Jacket Top Pt1 (Spartacus) for YA/AM
Personalized jackets for the four main sims from my Spartacus inspired household: Nasir & Agron (the canon Nagron ship), and Barca & Pietros (the canon Bartros ship).
LGBT Ships Jacket Top Pt2 (Shadowhunters) for YA/AM
Personalized jackets for the four main sims from my Shadowhunters inspired household: Magnus & Alec (the canon Malec ship), and Gwyn ap Nudd & Diana (the canon Gwynburn ship from the books).
_______________________________________________
And that’s everything! Enjoy!

Fong’s a key element to Sarawat and Tine’s relationship: An essay
I talked about Fong’s actions confusing me after Tine confessed feeling shaken by Sarawat, but after revisiting all the episodes released, I compiled a bunch of moments Fong helped Tine with his feelings and played a wingman like a best friend would. Even when he tried to do the opposite.
Yep, this is LONG.
1. The whole fake dating idea
I know asking for Sarawat’s help is Ohm’s suggestion, but it’s Fong to sow the seed of a fake relationship in the other three’s brains. They all share that one brain cell and we know it.
2. Pushing Tine to partake in Sarawat’s interests
They don’t have Sarawat’s number or LINE or anything other than his email. And after Tine essentially asked Sarawat for a one night stand (unknowingly, but... yeah) seeing Wat in person seems the way to go. It sorta makes sense if like them you believe the whole plan makes sense, I reckon.
3. Encouraging Tine for the audition
Yeah, he totally fell asleep after promising not to, but he was there for support. And to sleep on Ohm’s arse, I guess.
4. Questioning Sarawat’s actions and motivations
Tine’s so sure Wat didn’t play along with the plan in front of Sarawat’s “fans” because Wat cares too much about reputation. But Fong casually brings up there’s a clip on the INTERNET of Sarawat-Tine doing a kissy pocky challenge.
5. Kicking Tine in the face
This one wasn’t completely safe for Tine, I suppose. But it led to Sarawat being all tender and taking care of Tine PLUS giving Sarawat some time alone with Tine since Man had to come collect a drunk Fong.
(That face caress melted my heart.)
6. Asking the real questions
That time Tine wanted to believe Sarawat made an IG (that only follows him) and has a phone full of pics of him as part of their plan. I am Fong’s expression during this scene. Always pointing out the flaw in Tine’s logic, even though he’s part of the dumb squad himself. No one else can be both bright AND dumb. He has my whole heart.
7. Wondering about Sarawat’s feelings in all this
Here we have Ohm and Phuak poking fun at a panicked Tine’s involvement with Sarawat, and my boy Fong is all “what about HIM, though? he did left a cute note for you, bro” because Tine sure is leaping through hoops to explain why Sarawat slept at his place for someone who isn’t hiding anything.
8. Real talk about jealousy
I mean, it wasn’t the BEST advice, but again, when do their plans ever sound good? At least he got the idea through Tine’s stubborn skull. Even better is the rest of the conversation from this scene that’s shown after Tine realises he’s the one who’s jealous when girls swarm on Wat.
(I’m just unsure what kind of lakorn he’s watching that love gets proved easily.)
9. (Unknowingly) rubbing salt to the wound
Tine most likely invited him to play with him and get his mind off Sarawat and Earn. The betrayal to have his BFF ask about his rival (at least in Tine’s head) in love when all he wants is peace. Tine was so not amused.
10. Reminding Tine of his obligations
Phuak and Ohm all about getting Tine to drink and party with girls to celebrate Tine’s “freedom”, and my boy Fong is “yeah, what about the club you worked so hard to get in though???” despite agreeing with all the partying with girls and whatnot. By far the most reasonable in this group, I swear.
11. Bringing Sarawat up when Tine would rather NOT
Let’s not forget that this comes after Tine “broke up” with Sarawat. Let’s also not forget that this moment triggers Tine’s curiosity about why the hell Wat would keep such a important fact from him. It could be Ohm or Phuak to bring up the photo but it wasn’t any of them. My boy Fong again pushing Tine to apply some logic and seek answers.
12. Confronting Tine (since Tine won’t do it to himself)
He’s taking no prisoners. Asked why Tine couldn’t look him in the eye, asked what Sarawat told Tine, and even threatened to ask Sarawat himself if Tine didn’t talk. There’s friends and then there’s BEST friends.
13. Pointing out the obvious (and showing support)
I still don’t think it makes MUCH sense for him to be “against” Tine and Wat’s relationship, but at least he’s honest about what he’s seen. He’s witnessed Sarawat all worried about Tine (to the point that Wat disregarded his own injured knee) and he’s like “This dude is good for you. I didn’t see it that much before but I do NOW.” Admitting you’ve been wrong is growth!
14. Dropping metaphors like a KING
Even after Tine lies about “hating” Wat, Fong notices Tine’s jealousy right away. Not only does he point out that Tine should be used to Wat’s popularity (even though Sarawat pays no attention to anyone else), but he’s also “my dude, if this is the guy you HATE but even know his favourite drink, MAYBE you should hold on to the things you like and don’t lose something good. Oh and this in NO WAY relates to that guy over there that you HATE so much :)”.
15. Giving Sarawat insight on Tine’s thought process
This one somehow feels as important to me as #14. Why? Because as somebody that was never aboard with the whole really clueless!Tine trope, this scene solidifies for me the idea that Tine was simply lying to himself. Tine was intimidated by the thought of somebody like Sarawat (super popular around Uni and with hundreds of fans throwing themselves at his feet) liking him. Even before realising he also has feelings for Wat he kept denying it and looking for—going as far as creating—reasons for Sarawat flirting with him non-stop be a joke.
It also goes hand in hand with how Tine confronted Wat once he learnt about them meeting at that Scrubb’s concert a year prior. When Tine argued with Wat he was mainly angry that Sarawat accepted the fake dating plan to “play with his feelings”. Now I ask how could Sarawat play with Tine’s feelings if Tine felt nothing for him...
And just for the sake of argument, let’s check the times Fong acted against that relationship.
1. Suggesting Sarawat should stop ‘helping’ Tine
This one made sense in that Tine hadn’t told his squad about Wat’s feelings for him yet. Since the whole plan was to keep Green away and we hand’t seen Green in some time, it all seemed to make sense. It had the opposite effect, as Green appeared again and Wat almost kissed Tine (again) and only made Tine more curious about how genuine Sarawat’s feelings for him are.
2. Becoming a human barrier between Tine and Sarawat
This one was funny because Fong tries to shelter Tine’s eyes, but Tine still tries to peek and even seems frustrated that the guys stop him from seeing a shirtless Wat. Little do they know that Tine already got front row ticket to the “Sarawat expo” some time ago.
3. Setting Tine up for a possible confession
I mean, if Wat’s team lose that means he’ll stay away from Tine, but if Wat’s team win THEN Tine is pretty much already in a relationship. I know Fong came up with the bet sure that Wat’s team would lose, but that was risky. Double edged sword, really. Plus, it made Tine bail on a pretty girl, go root for Wat AND revealed that if Wat leaves Tine alone then Tine won’t do the same for Wat.
Oh, Fong. You sweet, misunderstood cupid. You’re valid even when you’re wrong. ❤
In conclusion: Fong plays an important role in making Sarawat and Tine’s relationship bloom even when he thought he was doing the opposite. I accept no one else to be Tine’s best man.

TAG: 3 GOALS FOR 2020
Thank you @dotr-rose-love for the tag! I wish and hope that you will reach your goals for 2020 and take care of yourself!
Rules: Write three goals for 2020 and then tag 10 people.
Even for me, the goals aren’t writing-centered...but I’ll write them anyways.
1. Feeling good about myself...and maybe come out to my (few) friends.
I never liked myself. I hated my looks, I hated how people could perceive me, I cringed a lot looking at my pictures...getting to a level of getting rid of mirrors or avoiding them and also trying to not get pics of me and whatnot. I was also a victim of bullism back in the schooldays and that didn’t help.
I needed a lot of years and the courage of looking up in internet to finally understand at least part of the reason of why I felt so wrong being me. I came out to my parents two summers ago. Well, I came out to my mother that during one of her breakdowns outed me with dad but he never brought the subject with me so I don’t really care what he thinks lol And maybe one day I’ll be able to become the person I want to be, the person I am. But right now I settled for something similar that makes me feel more at ease... Friends only think that I simply changed my style... Aaand uhh...that’s it. Sorry for the blabber, for a “TL;DR” just look at the sentence near the number and that’s it LOL
2. Enjoy again all the things I always loved
Writing, reading, photography, gardening...I loved all of these things but I ended up losing a bit of motivation every year. It’s not easy trying to continue enjoying things when you are a depressed crow...so one of my goals is trying to regain my previous enthusiasm for the hobbies and things I love. I want to be able again to read all the books I have in my “to read” list without having to wait for the “right mood” to read them. I wish for being able again to write only because I love writing my stories, even if maybe no-one will see them. I wish to be able to take my camera and go to places to snap a lot of pictures like I used to do. I wish to be able to enjoy caring of my plants (when I’ll be back at my parents’ of course lol here in the town’s apartment I don’t have space for plants) without forgetting about them because my depression made me unable to do any kind of stuff.
3. Write again and being able to complete something...anything of my projects (current ones or past ones)
I already said in n°2 that I’d love to being able to write again like I did in the past, when I was a kid writing down tiny stories for school homeworks or my own adventures or some cringey self insert fanfiction. I want to be able to write again and not being stuck in a loop like when I was working on my sci-fi, where my low motivation made me fall in a world-building hell as an excuse to not continue working on plot and the story itself. I want to be able to work properly on “Beyond the Veil” instead of looking at it and going like “eh” while outlining the plot. I want to be able to work properly on my collection of short stories, or “In the Pits of Hell”...or whatever project I’ll start or bring back. So one of my 2020 goals is to get back the motivation that I had as a kid and start writing again from my heart without getting stuck, dropping projects or not being able to outline the basics for knowing how and where to start.
A lot of big stuff, but...who knows!
Tagging: bold of you to expect seeing me following the rules! I’m tagging anyone that gets across this post and wants to do it!

Four Eyes Peralta
I cannot stress or appreciate enough how much @amazingsantiago has helped me in writing this fanfic. She’s in true essence amazing. I love her fics, I love her and now this fic holds a special place in my heart. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Thank you so very much! ❤️
It’s a very normal Monday morning in Brooklyn at the 99th precinct. That is until man-child Jacob Peralta walks into the precinct; a pair of frames adorning his face.
Jake Peralta was wearing glasses. Dorkish rounded square glasses.
Charles is the first one to notice the difference as Jake walks to his desk consciously quiet, not wanting to draw any unnecessary attention which is unusual for Jake Peralta for he always makes his presence known when ever he enters the precinct.
‘Jake, what’s on your face!?!?’ Charles screams loud enough for the whole precinct to stop and look at Jake. Half of them confused, the other half smirking.
'It’s nothing, Boyle. Get back to work.’ He hushes him but to no avail as Charles only gets more hysterical in confronting him.
'What did you do to your baby browns, Jake!? How am I supposed to see them now!? They’re all glassy and weird!’
'Ahahah Jake’s getting old!’ Rosa chimes in laughing.
'Calm down, Boyle! This is just for today. I couldn’t find my contacts.’
'So this is Amy’s fault?! Amy, how could you? Do you even love him?’ Boyle changes his target of exasperation in a matter of seconds.
'Uh uh.’ Amy smirks, making no effort what so ever to abstain from laughing. 'This all on you, Peralta. I asked you to clean the bathroom ages ago. I gotta say, I feel like you deserve this.’
Jake snarls at her as Boyle fans himself after his scarce dose of domestic peraltiago.
'Pay up, Grandpa. You bragged at the academy there was NO WAY you’d get older first.’ Rosa quips.
'We’re the same age, Rosa!’
'Tell that to your eyesight, ugly Betty.’ Rosa contorts. 'Where’d you even get these? Did you go out shopping with Lieut?’
'Oh hell no! Even Terry’s got enough sense not to buy that contraption.’ Terry joins in.
'Terry you have a weird necklace with your glasses; Your opinion means nothing to me.’
'He kinda looks like Tony Vreski, right?’ Terry adds.
They all collectively agree with him smiling as realisation draws on them.
'Now you all know Die Hard!’ Jake looks around in disbelief 'He’s not even a main character! This is the worst day ever!’ he mumbles. 'I don’t remember anyone making this much fun of Terry’s glasses!’
'Your’s are way worse, man.’ Terry responds to which everyone nods and agrees, snickering openly despite Jake’s frown. After all its not everyday they get to make fun of Jake Peralta.
The precinct falls silent upon the ring of Jake’s phone. Almost expectant. He sceptically takes his phone out of his pocket only to see a text from Gina.
Heard you got glasses now 👨👓 Send me a pic girl!
'Who told Gina?!’ He asked ludicrously. The squad only roars in laughter in return.
'What is the meaning of this commotion?’ Captain Holt demands, the racket having drawn him into the bull-pen. 'My, my Peralta you look quite distinguished.’ He observed seeing Peralta the centre of attention.
'Thank you! See now here is a man with impeccable taste.’ He smiled elevated by the compliment.
'For a blind person.’ Holt continued characteristically loud.
*Cue Brooklyn Nine Nine Theme Music*
The rest of the day doesn’t get any better. They all promptly remind him that his glasses are so bad they don’t even want to try them on. There are several instances of Rosa making old age jokes to him. Holding the door open for him, getting him ginger ale and whatnot. She even blew up their academy group by sending a picture of his frames.
'Not cool Rosa! I’ve officially lost all my respect for you!’ he’d thrown a tantrum. Charles had annoyed him all day by staring and wist fully looking at his old pictures resulting in Jake cuffing him rather than the perp. 'Imiss the baby browns okay Jake!’. Holt and Amy and Terry had been their own kind of awful.
But despite it all no matter how many times he took off his glasses in anger to stash them in the drawer he’d always end up wearing them ten minutes later, cursing at the new thread of jokes it’d start, but thankful that he could actually see things rather than blurry shaped.
Maybe he shouldn’t have made so much fun of Santiago so long ago, after all.

a-million-chromatic-dreams replied to your post
“I already have the lineart for my next foundling!Jim AU pic finished,...”
p l e a s e i would LOVE to know more
Okay, so the Foundling AU is, at its core, a self-indulgent AU built around my love for found families. It came from out of no where, like...within 30 minutes of finishing the entire series in 2 days.
The Facts:
Jim is a half-troll, and always has been.
Jim is not Barbara Lake’s biological son.
Jim does not start out as anyone’s son, as far as he can recall, but somehow, he ends up with plenty of parents anyway
How Things Start:
Rather, Barbara first encounters Jim when she pulls into her drive way after a late night studying for boards and nearly hits a...thing...eating her trash can. Not FROM her trash can. The actual trash can. She convinces herself it was some crazy desperate but otherwise perfectly normal animal, and the horns and whatnot were the product of too much caffeine and too little sleep.
She starts leaving her trash can in her garage, and figures hey, problem solved.
Until one night during the start of an ER rotation, when she comes home after a 12-hour shift and forgets to close her garage door.....aaaand okay, maybe forgets to lock the door to her house, too. Arcadia is a small, peaceful place and she’s never had issues in her neighborhood. Sue her.
Of course, little halfling whelps have no real concept of property, and Jim helps himself to a nice, shady space with plenty of food.
A few hours later finds Barbara stumbling upon what is definitely NOT a raccoon, dear god, eating her stethoscope. Which honestly is probably the only thing that keeps her from passing out in shock. Quality stethoscopes are expensive
Somewhere between debating whether to call Animal Control or the Police and trying to shoo Jim out the door, she finds out he can’t be exposed to sunlight. And look, she has no clue what this thing is, but he’s vaguely humanoid and clearly a child and she’s a future doctor. Causing him pain is not an option. So she resolves to let him stay inside for the day, and send him on his way in the evening
This seems to work, as far as she can tell. He isn’t bad company, so long as she makes sure he isn’t eating anything important or expensive. She hardly cooks, so what are a few lost cooking utensils? He spends most of the day sleeping, and seems content enough to leave once the sun goes down. She feels sort of bad, letting what seems to be a child wonder off into the night alone, but, nature’s different, right? Apparently, way different than she had ever known, even.
Until he shows up again a few days later. Then again, and again, until it’s just easier to let him stay.
But What’s He Doing When All Alone?
Wandering Arcadia, running from the scary-bad-big people who try to chase him down, and cementing himself in the collective hearts of all who run across him
Which, in the beginning, is mostly Aaarrrgghh!!! and Blinky.
He is always up for play-fighting and cuddling, and presenting them with things he’s found.
In the end, he always heads back home, though.
The first and only time they tried to take him to Trollmarket unwillingly, he pitched a fit and refused to come near them for days afterward.
Eventually, they decided that the best they can do is keep watch over him, and hopefully get him to trust them enough to finally get him where he belongs.
Where’d He Even Come From?
Jim did not start out as “Jim”. He did not have a name to call his own for quite some time.
The Janus Order work on more projects than trollkind could ever know. Experimental hybrids were one such project, ultimately deemed a failure. Only one whelp survived, and initial results weren’t promising, between weakness to sunlight and a static, decidedly non-human appearance.
An agent was eventually tasked with eliminating it. The Janus Order has always thrived off of subtlety and their ability to blend in, after all. To keep it would be a waste of resources at best, and a risk for eventual exposure at worst.
(There is a difference, though, between agreeing someone’s existence is a risk, and actually acting on eliminating that risk. This difference is what saves Jim’s life.)
(Strickler may not have had the heart to kill the whelp by his own hands, but he figured leaving the child out, exposed to the environment, would do him in all the same.)
(And if part of him hoped that maybe a soft-hearted troll would stumble across the child before the sun began to rise, well, no one need know)
Misc
Strickler probably ends up dating Barbara in this AU when he finds out Jim is still alive and ended up basically adopted by a human woman, in the hopes he can snatch Jim back and get rid of him before the Janus Order realizes he showed mercy at the expense of the Order
It is hard to try teaching a child letters when he keeps eating all of the supplies you are trying to teach him with, but Barbara tries her best. And goes through a lot of magnetic letters to do so.
At some point, Vendel finds out about Jim. He isn’t heartless, and would never condemn a whelp to death, but as far as he is concerned the worlds are kept apart for good reason, and the child has no place among humans. He tasks the Trollhunter with bringing the child to Trollmarket, where he belongs.
Kanjigar assumes this will be easy. It is not.
still debating on whether or not Jim is outright taken, or if Barbara is eventually convinced that giving him up is for the best. She is only human, and Jim is something decidedly not.
The first time Jim speaks is when he is being taken away from Barbara. For many children, their first instinct when endangered is to call out for their parents, after all.
Ultimately this is a feel good AU though, so!! This is not permanent!! Jim is reunited with his mom and Barbara gets to continue raising her beautiful boy with the help of his many troll dads and relatives. They come and visit through that tunnel his brother Draal dug in Barbara’s basement.
All of this is open to change as I think of things, or heck, if you wanna play around with it, as you do too. There is never enough fluffy baby content, as far as I’m concerned. Feel free to make suggestions or comments, or ask questions.

I really like your new hood. What kind of visual editing are you doing? Also, what exactly are the rules of this hood? I tried looking it up with the tags, but alas, it wasn't explained fully. Is this a Zombie Apoc challenge? I'm doing a variation of the one on MTS2, but it takes place in post-War California, circa 1939, if Germans invaded the US. Please let us know your rules for this hood! Thanks! child_of_air
Oh dear, this is going to be really long, sorry. :)
1) The pic-editing. I made a Photoshop action to do that. At first, I was going to edit pics of that neighborhood in a warm, low-contrast sepia-tone. Because I like sepia-tone. So, I fiddled with an existing sepia-tone action I had (one meant for regular photographs) to make it work with Sim-pics. It does everything non-destructively, with adjustment layers, so the original image remains intact "underneath." But then I decided that I wanted SOME color but still low-contrast and matte and kind of grainy. So, on top of the sepia-toning layer group, I plopped down another copy of the original image and set a "Soft Light" layer blend with the layers below to merge it with the sepia-toning. THEN I edited a "film" Photoshop action that I had on hand to make it work better with Sim-pics, then ran THAT on the copy of the original image. Again, it works via adjustment layers, non-destructively. Then I reduced the opacity of the "film" layer group and the second copy of the original image so that the sepia-toning below merged better with the added-back color, resulting in the kind of images I've been posting.
THEN I recorded ALL of the above into a one-click Photoshop action that'll work on most Sims-pics. It'll sometimes need to be further adjusted, especially if the original image is really dark, like an outdoor nighttime pic with little or no light source, but for many pics, it's just one click.
I could share the action, if anyone would be interested in having it or fiddling with it for their own use, but it is still dependent on the other two actions that I edited. I'm not sure how to share all three together since one of the dependent actions is bundled with about a dozen others. I don't know how to extract just the one. I suppose I could just share the whole bundle, though. It's a very nice bundle that offers lots of nice effects, actually! :) I'm pretty sure it's one of the hundreds of free ones my hubby has, since he has the ones he paid for in a different folder on the networked external archive drive... Well, if anyone wants it, let me know, and I'll look into it. :)
Now as for the rules....
There really isn't a hard-and-fast set, I'm afraid. I'm kind of making things up as I go along. Initially, this was SUPPOSED to be just a neighborhood to test out some of Sun & Moon's stuff and some playing ideas prior to using those things in another neighborhood I'm developing but where I don't want to experiment. Then it kind of took on a life of its own. *laugh* It has BACC elements merged with the "backstory" of an Apocalypse that can also easily be a "pioneer" or “homesteading” kind of thing with no apocalyptic undertones. :) There are also some elements of an "integrated" playing style. In its pure form that would mean that everything has to be "built" in-hood, with nothing just appearing out of the air. I don't want to go full-on with that -- too tedious and therefore un-fun, IMO -- but I do have some supply chains. More on that further down.
Basically, it goes like this: The end of civilization was coming (Plague, nuclear war, zombies, who knows? And who cares? :) ), and only one person seemed to realize it. That one person was in college at the time. So, rather than focus on his studies so much -- After all, civilization was ending so there goes that MBA and lucrative corporate career, right? -- he focused on making as many friends as possible and convincing them that, "Hey, world's gonna end, we need to get outta Dodge and make a new world." Slowly, he gathered a group of friends -- people who lived in the dorm, a few professors, hell, even a cheerleader -- who believed him and started to make preparations. Everyone else made fun of them, of course, but who cared about that? They were all gonna die or whatever. After graduation, they left, trekking out into the wilderness with (in my imagination) enough stuff like preserved food and potable water and seeds to plant and candles to burn and shovels and saws and stuff like that, to get them by for a while.
And sure enough, they were right! Civilization collapsed. Infrastructure was destroyed or became nonfunctional. Telecommunications systems were gone even if there'd been electricity to run such devices. This group of 16 is out in the wilderness, and other survivors/escapees/whatever are wandering around, too. But the core group has a collectively-agreed-up mission to work cooperatively to make a new and better and simple-living world: Peaceful, completely egalitarian, communal, a world where money and power neither exist nor are desirable, where everyone works together, willingly, for the good of the collective, a world living in harmony with nature. (Basically, my ideal world. *laugh* I really am a communist at heart, only without the oligarchical totalitarianism that modern attempts at communism have been corrupted by.)
At first, they all lived together in one place, sleeping in quickly-built, rough cabins, doing potty business in bushes, collecting rain water for makeshift showers, and eating food that they brought, that they grew/gathered, or that they caught. All the while, they were busy putting together the "raw materials" they needed to build individual houses to live in, each dedicated to a specific function that benefits the community as a whole, the fruits of which would be shared equally with the entire community. Each time a production goal was reached, one person/couple could move off the communal "raw materials" lot and into the lot that could be "built" from the gathered raw materials. And the community grows from there.
Meanwhile, there are those other folks, wandering around alone and frightened and helpless in the wilderness, having escaped whatever the disaster was that occurred. Sometimes, members of the community meet up with them while they're out scoping out the territory. Those poor souls can be brought into the fold as well, added to the communal lot and becoming contributing members of the community.
And that's as far as the "story" goes for now. :) Bear in mind that my neighborhood is age-modded with this mod, so my Sims have PLENTY of time to live out their lives. Not sure playing this way will really work with the standard-length lifestages. You'd have to figure out ways to speed things up rather a lot, I would think or else your founders will be dead before they can even earn a house, much less reproduce and stuff. :) But anyway, the "rules," such as they are, so far:
1) No careers. No vacations. No Uni after the initial "gather your founders" part, if you do that. No subhoods at all. And no money, so if you want to you can give your households a million simoleons because it simply doesn't matter.
2) No electricity. No indoor plumbing. (I intend to add those things as they are "earned," down the line, but only at the earliest when the first born-in-game generation are adults. Haven't figure out exactly HOW it'll be earned, though.) No phones. No nannies, repair people, maids, gardeners, etc., unless you want to set up some sort of in-neighborhood system for that. (Which is certainly doable; I plan to do it later, once my supply chains are in place and I'm looking for "employment" for new people.) No vehicles except "vehicle horses." (Only once you have a horse farm!) Use candles for light sources. Use only charcoal grills for cooking. (Unless you want to download an historical-type oven, but I'm trying to run this with less CC, not more, and I want there to be some big rewards for earning electricity.) Don't use an electric fridge. (I'm using this one.) Use an outhouse, not indoor flush toilets. Use mods so that water has to be gathered to use to fill bathtubs and sinks. Stuff like that.
3) I recommend using the Visitor Controller to ban all but playable Sims from every lot. Also ban mail and newspaper delivery. You COULD make the neighborhood from empty templates and no stealth hoods, yes, but then you're going to lose the "meet people by hiking" thing, which is how "new blood" gets added to this neighborhood. That function draws from the NPC household that includes things like the BV tourists/locals and the hobby leaders and stuff like that. If you use empty templates and whatnot, you won't have that.
4) Get yer founders. I did this via sending Komei Tellerman to Uni and having him focus on making friends amongst the dormies, professors, and Uni NPCs so that all the founders would at least have a strong relationship with him, if no one else, but you could just make a bunch in CAS if you’d rather skip that part. Or if you don’t have Uni installed, of course. :)
5) Build an initial lot to dump everyone on. (I teleported them with the Sim Blender, aged them to regular adults, gave them the extra want slots they should have as college graduates, etc., since they weren’t yet playables in Uni.) Include everything they need for basic motive-filling but not much else. (You could put a working stack of books somewhere if you want them to skill, but really? With no careers, skilling isn't really all that necessary.) There will also need to be ways to make/gather raw materials. Here's the layout of the one I made, with some useful links to stuff I used on it. This lot houses the founders, any new members added to the community, and ALL born-in-game Sims once they reach teenhood, until they earn individual lots.
Note: For me, I did not want kids on this lot. They have to wait until they earn an individual lot for that. So the only place to autonomously woohoo is the park benches I used as seating for eating. But, I have ACR set so that woohoo on sofas/park benches requires privacy...which is hard to get on a lot with no real walls and a bunch of other people living on it. :) If you DO want them to have kids, then they could woohoo in the cabin-tents, but ACR doesn't enable autonomous tent-woohoo, so...yeah.
Note 2: I let the communal lot run pretty much entirely on free will, only commanding certain Sims to do certain things at certain times. That way, the residents form their own relationships and either succeed or fail at taking care of themselves. They also develop different sleep schedules, which is nice for the player, less of them to keep an eye on at any given time. :) It's also easier to NOT micromanage 16 or more Sims at once, naturally. But this, of course, would be up to the player and how you like to play.
4) Earning a lot: The communal lot has choppable trees, the mining rocks from Sun & Moon's mining set, and Nixnivis's blacksmith station on it. I have fiddled with the trees and the mining rocks to make them autonomous, and the rule is that Sims can never be commanded to chop trees or mine ore. They must decide to do that themselves, so production is limited by how industrious your Sims are. Further, the mined ore has to be "refined" (into things like nails and other things that go into a house). For this, I use the blacksmith station, just having a person make that object's basic single horseshoe object as as "stand-in." (This isn't autonomous; it's one of the things that Sims can be commanded to do.)
NOTE: I could share the edited autonomized choppable trees if someone wants to use this idea; I don't think Beck would care. But sharing the edited autonomized mining rocks would break Sun & Moon's policy, so if you want that, you'd have to do the editing yourself. It's not hard, if you can run SimPE.
In order to earn each new individual lot, the communal lot must produce 75 bundles of chopped logs and 40 horseshoes. And each horseshoe “requires” 2 buckets of ore, so you need to keep track of how many buckets of ore you have in inventories and subtract out the appropriate number of ore buckets when a batch of horseshoes is made. (Just sell them "to the air;" money doesn't matter. Much of the crafting in this hood will work the same way, too, with "prerequisite" objects that need to be produced somewhere first, so get used to the technique. *laugh*) So to get those 40 horseshoes, 80 buckets of ore have to be (autonomously!) mined first. Once you have the required materials, remove them from inventories and sell them to the air. Then, you can build an individual lot and move whoever you want to own the lot out of the communal one.
(You might want to adjust the requirements needed for how you play. For instance, if you don’t want to go pure free-will, you should probably have much higher requirements. If you don’t age-mod, then you’ll want to adjust simply because you just won’t have time to earn lots with enough time left over for your Sims to have kids to keep the neighborhood going. So, yeah. That’s certainly not set in stone; it’s just what works for my set-up.)
5) Supply chains and stuff: Before you build your first individual lot(s), you're going to want to choose what that lot will be dedicated to, because that will dictate how you build it. My list of possibilities -- so far, that is; it's ever-growing as I get new ideas and figure out how to implement them -- is as follows:
RobotsFlower ArrangingToy-MakingPotterySewingSpinning/KnittingWeavingCattleChickensHorsesPigsSheepGoatsWineryPaintingDog/Cat BreederBeesBakingMarijuanaCandle-makingFishingHayCornMaxis OrchardBasketryHerbs/WildflowersHunting/TanningTrappingApothecary (Plus reagents, if witches)Blacksmithing
Some of those are Maxis things. Some of them are CC. Some of them don't actually exist and I'm using stand-ins instead. (Like, for instance, candle-making. Sun & Moon's beekeeping set produces beeswax as one of its end products, along with honey. They didn't yet make a candle-making station, though, so in the meantime, I'm just gonna use the robot station or something and pretend. They can make toy robots that can be one-for-one "exchanged" for functional candles, which can then be distributed. It's easy to do because money doesn't matter.) Most of them have "prerequisites." I'm not going to go into how all of these will work because I'd be here for days, but I'll give you one example of a supply chain and its prerequisites and stuff.
Let's talk about the sewing supply chain, clothing and blankets and stuff being the ultimate end-products of that supply chain. In order to have new clothing and towels and quilts/blankets and other nice decorative things like that, first, at the very bottom of the "pyramid," you gotta have someone who'll grow hay. Because you can't have sheep (and other livestock) without something to feed them. And you can't have wool without sheep. (Or growing cotton or flax for linen or making silk or something, and if I can figure out how to make THAT happen, I will. I have an idea brewing for marijuana -- think hemp -- but for now...sheep.) And you can't knit a sweater or produce fabric without cleaning and spinning that wool into yarn/usable fiber/thread. And you can't have fabric without someone with a loom to weave it. And you can't have leather (for shoes and stuff) without someone killing some kind of animal (domesticated or hunting wild ones) and tanning the hides. ONLY THEN can you have someone making new clothing. And at each step, there's a kind of conversion. Like "1 spun basket of wool = enough yarn to make 1 sweater." So, you sell the basket of wool (obtained from the sheep farmer) to the air, then "spin" (via a CC spinning wheel plus an invisible sewing machine to make a few potholders or something as a "stand-in" for the process), then you sell those potholders to the air and use Beck's knitting ball to make one piece of clothing which can then be distributed and used to "buy" one sweater or whatever.
That's how everything basically works in a supply chain, some of which have more steps than others. Producing new clothing would be the longest one I've come up with so far. So, when building your lots, if you want to use supply chains at all, you must start out with the "anchors" of the supply chains you want to have. If you don't want to be that complicated, you could just pick randomly or pick whatever appeals to you.
6) Individual lots: Plop down a lot. On that lot, build a house but leave room outside for the lot's function plus the outhouse, the outdoor fridge, a well/water pump and a garden. (Eventually gardens can go away, once you have enough food-producers that can consistently produce enough to distribute amongst the population. But until then, folks will need to grow stuff.) The size of your lots is gonna depend on you and how you play. Me, I like smaller lots and I don't mind cramming large families into small houses...which suits a "pioneer" sort of lifestyle, anyway. So, my individual lots are no bigger than 3x3, and the house itself (they're all the same, just different colors, different furnishings, and oriented differently on the lot), for a child-producing household, is a 9x9 square with a 3-tile deep front porch across the front. Floor plan here.
7) Unlike a BACC where CAS Sims are “earned” by certain events, any new, non-born-in-game Sims have to be met via hiking. (It’s one of the possible outcomes of hiking.) It’s a substitute for being out “exploring” or “looking for wandering domesticate livestock to capture” or whatever. If a non-pet “someone” is met, that person gets added to the communal lot, joining the “queue” for an individual lot. (I just use the Sim Blender to teleport them into the communal lot and add them to the household.) I prefer to age up any children to teen and age down any elders to adults, but that’s up to you, of course.
Annnnnnd that's about it, really. I have yet to figure out exactly how the "economy" is going to run. At the moment, the individual lots are still producing stuff with not enough to distribute yet and I don't have any full supply chains yet...but I need to figure it all out soon. I'm leaning toward just equally distributing end-products in truly communist style, but I'm not sure yet. I could list some more miscellaneous rules...but I think that's enough for now. *laugh*
