‘You need to open up wider, sweetheart.’
Eddie was really stupid. You loved him, and he has been your best friend your whole life. But he was stupid. The biggest idiot in the world… But if he was the biggest stupid in the world then you were the second.
When Eddie started to sell weed you were scared at first for him in case Hopper ever caught him, but he never did and never will. Eddie was cautious. Knew what he was doing and how to do it. And he did it great. He was sly, and had a lot of clients. Clients that he did everything to try and please, so much that he tried every new type of drug that fell into his hands to make sure he was giving no shit. He took pride on his quality.
And you swore to try every and each of one of them. You had your good trips and bad trips. Took care of each other and always stood safe. You knew your limits. Or that’s what you thought.
‘Cause you should have known that this was a really bad idea. You knew that it was dangerous, and crossed a line a little… sensitive. But once again you were stupid. Really stupid. And you liked your best friend too much to think straight.
“You want me to take an aphrodisiac…, with you.” you tried and clarify as Eddie stood there, all wide eyed and smiley with two pink little pills on his hand.
“Yeah.” he nodded.
“…” “Okay.” you shrugged, not thinking twice to on swallowing the pill along with him.
If only you knew what of a great mistake that was…
Or maybe not.
-
You were horny, so horny that you couldn’t stop your thighs from pressing against each other, trying hard for your best friend, which stood seated on his bed next to you, to not notice. You were listening to some music, waiting for the drug to take effect. It was fast. Too fast.
Your whole skin grew on goosebumps, your cheeks flushing and body running hot, so hot you were melting. You tried not to. Not to think about how nice he looked, the way he licked his lips every few seconds as if his mouth were dry. You tried not to stare too much at him, not to breath too hard or you’ll inhale his perfume, which seemed to be everywhere. And you surely tried to not let your mind get filled with scenarios in which your best friend shouldn’t be participating with you. But it was no luck, you failed the very moment you noticed the bulge that had grown under the sweats that he wore to stay comfy on his house.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Eddie was suffering. His eyes away from you as best as he could. He couldn’t stop too much to stare at your bare legs and plushy thighs or he’ll for sure burst on his pants like a complete 13 year old virgin who just found out what porn was. And your tits… God, he always tried and avoid thinking about your nipples pressing against his tee-shirts —which you borrowed every day—, and the way you just casually stopped wearing bras around him. But now was impossible, since you were wearing his Hell Fire shirt and he could see just how erect your nipples were through the white of it. He wanted to lick them, wanted to suck on them so bad, kiss your chest and leave you full of marks, fuck his cock in between your tits and paint them on his cum…
Shit. Shit. Shit.
His dick was incredibly hard, leaking on his thigh and twitching in need of attention. His breath hitched when he tried and reposition it inside his pants, biting down on his lip to not let out a groan due to the pressure.
You were seating one next to another, shoulders almost brushing, hands almost touching. And you needed to touch him so bad… So bad, oh god.
You couldn’t stop thinking about what he had told you about his sexual encounters. About what he had found he liked the most.
It was no big deal. You and Eddie didn’t keep secrets from one another, and somehow along the way, the theme had just… came up. So you had talked about it. A lot. And it was no big deal, ‘was’, or so you tried to convince yourself. But now… Now it was a big deal.
You couldn’t stop wondering if he would treat you as he treated all of those other girls. If he would choke you, spank you, praise you… You wondered what position would make you feel him the best. How far would his dick go down your throat? You would love to suck his dick. You wanted to call him daddy too. Knowing that he would probably fuck you harder, like he once told you he had fucked a girl after it.
You needed to know, needed to know how he would eat you out. Needed to know how big he was.
Shit.
You were breathing heavily, your eyes on the veins of his arms and hands, those hands that you’ve dreamed with so many times, those fingers that you had pretended and were the ones fucking your cunt when you touched yourself.
The tension inside the room could be cut with a knife. And you were the only ones in the trailer since Wayne was working a double shift.
You couldn’t look at each other. Or at least you did as if you hadn’t caught the other staring… ‘Cause Eddie’s mind was getting too fuzzy and his attempts to stop staring at you slowly started to be less and less effective. He just couldn’t get the image of fucking you right there and then, with his tee-shirt on, and fill you up with his cum over and over again until you couldn’t stop crying due to how full you felt. He couldn’t stop thinking about playing with that little button that he for sure knew would make you scream, the tightness and wetness of your pussy…
God, he shouldn’t be feeling this way about his best friend, the one that he had grown up with… But he did, and always had.
“It’s…” he jolted when your voice suddenly filled the room, taking him by surprise. “It’s good.” you awkwardly smiled, still not looking at him.
It was good as fuck. So good that it had you soaking through your short jeans.
“Yeah…” he breathed out, feeling his cock stir just by hearing your voice on his pants as he scoffed and repositioned himself on the bed. He wanted to know how good you would sound moaning his name.
You gasped when your skin made contact, both your hands brushing the slightest, but still enough to make your skin grow on goosebumps.
Eddie looked at you and then at your hands. His cheeks were flushed, and his lips looked all red and swollen, as he hadn’t stopped biting on them.
You thought he would move away then, but surprisingly enough he made your hands brush again, getting the same reaction out of you.
You were shivering when he turned your hand on his own. You stared at him with furrowed eyebrows, confused. But he simply looked into your eyes and started caressing your palm. Slowly, teasingly…
He knew what he was doing. You could see it in his eyes. In the little smirk that was trying to appear on his lips.
Your breath hitched, wherever his fingertips touched felt like your skin was mixing up with his.
You only could look into his eyes, into his stupidly beautiful dark brown eyes which pupils were blown.
You didn’t say anything, you couldn’t. Your throat was tied in knots and your stomach was burning with suck need that was making you feel dizzy. Maybe that’s why you did what you did, but before you knew it you were taking his teasing hand and slowly raising it up to your lips.
Eddie’s breathing was heavy when your lips parted and you nipped on his fingertips, your cheeks hollowing around two of his fingers when you pushed them inside your mouth. You never stopped staring at him as your tongue started to swirl his fingers, teasing, inviting…
He groaned, and your pussy clenched around nothing, gagging when he suddenly thrusted his fingers deeper inside your mouth. “Uh-uh…” he clicked his tongue. “You need to open up wider, sweetheart.” you did as he told you, this time feeling his fingers down your throat. “That’s it, good girl.” his praise was low, his voice making you shiver and moan around his fingers. He smirked when you took his wrist to push his hand closer, his fingers deeper. You needed more. You needed him to fuck your mouth, use your throat and make you gag all around him. “Oh, well isn’t that pathetic… Look at you. Why so needy, hm?” you whimpered, and his dick twitched so hard he had to breath in the best he could. Shit, you looked so pretty. “My girl just needed something to suck on, isn’t that right? Your mouth was feeling empty, huh?” he inquired and you nodded, your teary eyes staring into his own. He wanted to make you cry. On your mind his words playing over and over again. ‘My girl, my girl, my girl, my girl…’ “Poor baby, having such a hard time…” he shook his head. “Maybe I should help you, what do you think, hm?” his heart skipped a beat when you pushed his fingers out of your mouth, still connected by a string of spit that he so badly wanted to lick.
“Please, Eddie, please, please, please…” you begged, and even if you didn’t ‘knew’, you knew you were in too deep now. Your brain was completely disconnected, you couldn’t think straight, the only thing in your mind being your oh so pretty best friend, and his lips, and his eyes, and his…
You gulped when he smirked, his hand guiding yours towards his crotch, his dick reacting to your touch with a tug that you felt through the sweats. He was hard, so hard your mouth was watering.
“Go ahead, sweetheart.” he said, and you had never been so fast in your life at tugging someone else’s pants down. The boxers disappeared just as fast, and your eyes widened when his cock slapped his stomach when it was finally freed. It was so big…, so big that you couldn’t stop the moan that left your lips, making Eddie groan. His tip was the most beautiful pink you have ever seen, fully leaking and all pearly with his pre-cum. He was long, and a couple of veins popped on his shaft. You could only imagine how good it will feel dragging up and down your walls. You were salivating, with your knees tucked below your butt for him, kneeling on the bed. “Here, let me help you, baby.” he said before taking your hair in one of his hands, collecting all of it in some kind of a ponytail that would allow him to fuck your throat harder and see those beautiful eyes of yours tear up as you took him in your mouth. He had been dreaming about this moment since he could remember, and he sure as hell was going to fully enjoy it. He was going to take it all in.
He groaned when your lips took his head, your tongue tasting the musk and saltiness of the beads on the slit, which made you hum. Eddie had to try really hard to not cum right there and then, his balls so full it was painful.
“There you go.” he sighed, watching as you slowly started to fuck his cock into your mouth.
You could almost cry of happiness and relief. He felt so heavy on your mouth, so warm and so big… You only wanted to choke on it, wanted him to leave your throat sore and swollen from thrusting on it. You didn’t care, you just needed it, even if that made you unable to talk tomorrow morning.
“So greedy…” he chucked when you took too much of him and gagged, pulling yourself off of him to take a deep breath, your hand on your base, which pooled with your spit. “I know what you want.” you let out a little shriek when he suddenly pulled at your hair towards his cock, making you take him once again in your mouth, fucking your throat. “Been wanting me to fuck this tight throat of yours, huh? Isn’t that right, doll?” he panted when your nails dug on the flesh of his thighs, your eyes squeezed shut as you tried to contain your gagging and breath through your nose. “Been wanting me to use you like a simple little toy, hm? Fuck your mouth full of my cum.” you moaned, making him do it as well at the feeling. “Shit. You look so pretty taking me so good, choking on my cock and letting me use you like a fucking slut. Fuck, been thinking about you sucking my cock for years.”
Eddie moaned when one of your hands took his balls and rolled them in between your fingers. They were heavy and full for you, ready to stuff you up with his cum and get you all fucked out and pretty for him.
“Yeah, that’s it. Good girl, shit, you’re gonna make me cum so hard…” he groaned, struggling to maintain his eyes open, getting too lost on the squelching of your mouth, on the feeling of your tongue and throat, of your hands on his balls, on the tears on your eyes and the whimpers and moans that you were letting out only for him to hear. “Fuck.” he was close. He could feel it, the drug making him impossible for him to hold it much more due to how turned on and sensitive he was. “I’m gonna cum.” he moaned, and before you knew it, he was filling your throat with his white, heavy and creamy seed. You sighed in pleasure, milking him with your mouth as he rode out his orgasm with a groan.
He let go of your hair, and you let his dick fall out of your mouth with a pop, not before having cleaned his head with your tongue and having swallowed his seed just like the good girl he knew you were.
“Fuck.” he groaned before he harshly pulled you in, crashing your lips together in a searing kiss that had you moaning in his mouth and left your legs shaking.
Your hands found his hair as he pushed his tongue inside your mouth, humming when he tasted himself in it. He needed to drink you up, needed you to ride his face and leave him tasting of you, needed you to leave his face all soaked with your juices.
“Now it’s my turn.” he said, and you didn’t argue when he popped the bottom of your shot jeans open. “God, angel.” he groaned when he saw the little lace pink panties that you were wearing, which now stood completely soaked with your slick. “Is this for me?” you moaned when his fingers touched you over the lace, pushing the slightest between your wet and warm folds. You nodded, whimpering a ‘yes’, feeling blissed by his touch. It was everything you had ever dreamed of. Like biting the apple of Eden under the eye of god, like drinking water after days in the sun, like breathing after almost drowning in the sea… Eddie was everything you had dreamed of. Everything you wanted. Everything you needed. “So good for me…” you cried out when he pushed you against the sheets, his mouth latching at your thighs to leave marks that you’d proudly wear tomorrow with your oh so short skirts and dresses. “Why don’t you pull your panties off for me and let me take a look, hm?” you nodded, using your legs to raise your hips and pull your underwear down your thighs. Eddie took care of it, once they were completely off, throwing somewhere on the room’s floor, still taking a mental note to make sure to steal them before you could notice.
You were burning up and dying at the same time.
It was like his touch didn’t exist but filled your senses altogether.
“Oh god.”
Just the simple act of touching, of him kissing you, holding you… Was just so intimate that your bones were breaking in half. It hurt, but hurt so good .
You felt everything ten times stronger.
And you swore your heart was about to stop when his hand disappeared in between your legs. His touch felt like freezing, but burning at the same time.
“Fuck, angel.” he groaned and you moaned at the sleek that pooled between your tights. You were soaked. You could feel it flowing down your lips to the sheets. “So wet…” Eddie‘s fingers shone with your arousal, which he tasted when he inserted his fingers in his mouth, moaning at the taste. “So sweet…”
Suddenly his head was now inches away from your heat, and you screamed at the first drag of his tongue, lapping at your slick with his eyes closed in pleasure, separating your lips —which hardly stood connected with strings of your arousal— and circling your clit. You could see stars. Even if you had your eyes closed.
“Eddie.” you cried out as he ate you out like a starved animal, devouring you, tasting you as if you were his last meal.
He groaned when your fingers laced in his curls, tugging on them due to the pleasure.
He hummed when your hips rocked against his face when his nose bumped against your clit, his tongue harshly pushing against your hole. “Please…” you didn’t know what you were begging for, but he seemed to understand. He always did.
Your eyes rolled to the back of your head when he plunged two of his fingers on your warm and wet pussy. You couldn’t help it. Couldn’t help the way your grip tightened on his curls, the way your hips rose or the word that fell of your lips in a needy moan.
“Daddy.”
And then he suddenly stopped. He stopped his thrusting, his kisses… Everything stopped. And your gut clenched in need.
“What did you just call me?” he said below a whisper, his dark onyx eyes heavy on you, so heavy you felt crushed.
Your cheeks heat up, but even if you had heard him, you couldn’t listen. “No!” You whimpered, one of your hands reaching to circle his wrists in hopes that he would touch you again, that he would help you subside your thirst for him once again. “Please don’t stop, please!” you were at the verge of tears, you felt so close to cumming, so close that you swore it physically pained you. You needed him, needed him so bad your bones shivered and your whole body trembled.
“What’s wrong, baby?” he pouted, mocking you, although you didn’t care since he was back to curling his fingers inside of you and making pants fell from your lips. “You’re about to cum?” but again, he had stopped, and again, you found yourself pleading him. “If you want to cum, then you’d have to say it.” you knew what he was referring to, but you still found yourself so embarrassed that you could bring yourself to say it. “Come on sweetheart, use that pretty mouth of yours to call me ‘daddy’ again, would you?” your whole body flushed at his smirk, your cheeks so red and hot that you could feel them burning.
But again, even though you were embarrassed to the marrow, it only took a single curl of his fingers to make you dissolve on his hands. “Daddy, please, daddy…” you whimpered, and he smiled.
“That’s my good girl.” you moaned, probably due to his praising, or probably to the fact that his lips were back on your clit, sucking on it ‘till your thighs were shaking on the sides of his face. “Daddy’s good girl.”
You clenched around his fingers with a moan so high that you swore the whole trailer park had heard you as the tension on your lower stomach finally snapped, your pussy gushing on his mouth and fingers, slick that he made sure to lap at to as he helped you ride out your orgasm.
You could feel tears swelling in your eyes at the overstimulation. It was too much, but at the same time not enough.
You needed him, needed his cock, his body, his mouth…
“Eddie, please…” you begged for him with a new tug and he looked at you, his chin and lips completely bathed in you. “Please it’s not enough…” you whimpered. “Please, daddy…”
He groaned, ‘cause he felt the exact same way than you, he could eat you out day and night, he loved it, from your taste to the little sweet sounds that you let out… But he couldn’t stop thinking about stuffing you full, filling you up until he could see his dick bulging in your lower stomach, fuck you so raw and rough that you couldn’t stop screaming, leaving you voiceless the next morning. He wanted to make you cry.
“Fuck.” he was quick to pull his boxers down and get on top of you. “I know baby, I know…” you whimpered when he took place in between your legs, the head of his huge cock gliding through your folds in ease, circling your clit, pushing against your entrance… “Gonna let me fuck you raw, sweetheart? Let me cum inside and fill you up? Get you all round and pretty for me?” you moaned, sensing your whole body shake. You shook your head ‘yes’, crying out a ‘yes please daddy, pleasepleaseplease’ and he almost could cum right there and then.
You let out a quiet scream when he got balls deep inside you in a quick and harsh thrust. You went breathless. He stretched you out like no one would ever do, fill you to the brim, his head abusing your g spot with every new snap of his hips.
“I’m sorry baby.” he moaned as he moved ‘till only the tip stood inside. “I don’t think I’m gonna be able to control myself. I need to fuck you so bad…” you nails dug on his back when he thrusted in again.
“EddieEddieEddieEddie…” you cried out over and over again, the squelching sound of his dick fucking into your wet hole making you so horny that you couldn’t stop the need to move your hips against his, what made him groan and grip your hips to do it for you, but harder. Much much harder. “Shit!” your voice cracked. He rose you up as if you were as light as a feather, making you sit on his cock.
You choked on just how deep it got, it caressed places so deep within you that made breathing harder.
“That’s right baby, fuck, moan for me, you sound so sweet when your voice breaks with every scream.” your jaw was slack, lips parted as he rose you up and down his dick, using you like he could use a toy. You couldn’t stop moaning, moans that came out broken due to how hard he was fucking you and how high and loud your voice was.
Tears were falling from your cheeks with every new thrust, you felt so overstimulated by the drug that it was too much. Too much, but your body desired so much more.
You wanted Eddie to break you, fuck you brainless, make you sob…
The grip on your throat silenced your screams as he choked you, his tongue licking the tears out of your face just to later on lick into your mouth. Spit dribbled out of your lips and painted your chest due to how messy it was. You were a babbling mess. ‘Daddy, daddy, ah, Eddie, shit, ah…’
Eddie groaned and moaned, his eyebrows furrowing when your walls started to clench around him. “Are you gonna come for me, princess? Gonna come on my cock? Gonna come on daddy’s cock?” you nodded, your breathing ragged as you whimpered slurred ‘yes, yes, yes…’. Your g spot was being abused with every new jump, your clit, being caressed by two of his fingers. Your nails dug on his shoulders, your head falling backwards and a scream leaving your lips. You rode him in need of a release and he knew that, his lips on your neck, sucking bruises that made you lose your mind. “Then come.” your whole body seemed to die and come back to life then, your high hitting you so hard your ears rung and your sight went white. Eddie moaned when he felt it, the warmth of your cum surrounding his dick, painting his cock in white, and he almost came when he watched it pool at the base of his cock like a white ring.
He had you back on your back, taking your legs and pushing them agains your chest, fucking into you so hard that hit your cervix over and over again.
You though that your high would go down, but instead, you found yourself screaming when it only seemed to go higher and higher.
“Eddie, I’m gonna, I’m gonna…” you found yourself coming again, right after your first.
“Oh shit sweetheart, did you just came twice?” you where digging your nails on his biceps as tears rolled down your cheeks and onto the pillow, soaking the sheets. You were letting out cracked and short moans that got cut with every thrust of his. “Fuck, you drive me insane.”
And yet you felt like you were gonna die.
“Eddie, stop, stop…” you cried out due to the overstimulation, still feeling your body scream for more, your ‘o’ slurred and dragged. “Something’s gonna—“
Before you could finish your sentence, your back was arching and your pushy gushing as it’s walls fluttered around Eddie’s cock, which now stood soaked with your squirting.
“Fuck.” he moaned when he saw it, his hips snapping harder and harder against you, following the amazing feeling for your tight, warm cunt. You kept squirting over and over again as Eddie praised and teased you under his breath. “Are you feeling good, princess? Look at you, all messed up on my dick. So pretty soaking my sheets.”
He was close, so fucking close that moans started to fall from his lips, his hips stuttering as his high reached him. “Gonna fill you real nice, gorgeous. Gonna leave you so full your pussy’s gonna be dripping. Gonna look so pretty when I fuck it back into you.”
And with a final grunt he came, his load creamy, hot and heavy inside you. You moaned at the feeling, pushing him deeper inside you. You needed him deeper. He let go of your legs, which fell around him, trembling and twitching, as he fell on top of you, his lips on your neck.
He stood there for a couple of minutes, just kissing you, hugging you. But you could feel it, you could still fell the burning feeling that the drug had left you with, feel his dick growing inside of you. When you least expected it, he had turned you over, pushing your body against the duvet and starting to fuck into you once again.
“Sorry angel, just one more.” you couldn’t say no, not when he was fucking you so good and nice, not when you needed him so bad you felt like drowning.
Your nails dug in the bed sheets, your moans and screams being muffled by his pillow, which was getting wet with your drooling and new tears.
“Good girl, taking me so good… Pussy so tight and wet for me, sucking me in so nice…” you screamed when one of his hands sneaked in between your legs and under your stomach to start circling your clit, in just a mere seconds slowly starting to build another orgasm, as strong as the rest. “Can feel you clenching, sweetheart. Are you gonna come again? Gonna soak my sheets for me once more?” before you could even answer, you were falling apart, droplets falling down your tights. “Fuck.”
This time it only took a couple more hard and deep thrusts for Eddie to cum, overstimulated by the recent orgasm and the incredible feeling of your own.
You whimpered, feeling so full your stomach would bulge with his cum.
You felt boneless when he slowly and softly took you with him to your side, cuddling you with his cock still buried deep into your full cunt. You sighed at the feeling, so drunk on him, so in love with the soft kisses that he left on your shoulders, the sweet words that he whispered in your ear. ‘You did so good for me, angel.’ ‘You’re so beautiful, so, so beautiful sweetheart.’ ‘Such a good girl for me…’
“Gonna let me keep it inside you all night like the good girl you are, huh? Gonna let me fuck you up all pretty tomorrow morning too, isn’t that right baby?” you nodded, letting out a little whimper that made him hum.
Eddie was stupid, and you were stupid too. And you two were stupidly in love with each other.
Stupid, isn’t it?

I have a light one that’s kind of dumb.
🐶🐱
AITA for wanting a dog even though my sister/housemate does not?
To start, nobody is allergic to dogs or has a fear of them, she just doesn’t want it.
(if ages and gender are important, we’re both f in our early 20s)
I grew up on a farm with lots of animals. There were always cows, I had goats, there were chickens, ducks, barn cats and of course, 1-3 livestock guard dogs at a time.
When I was 16, I had a senior spaniel who had to be put down due to heart problems. Ever since I have been asking if I can have another dog but my parents have said no.
Around a year ago now I sold my goats and moved out of my parents house into an apartment. The apartment didn’t allow any pet bigger than my little gecko.
Then, about January, my older sister started messaging me with images of houses on a realtor site. So we looked at houses. I agreed to buy a house with her 1) so she could move out of our parents house and 2) because being by myself in the apartment with no real friends wasn’t really that good for my mental health.
To her credit, she did get a kitten from our farm and let me keep it, although I didn’t really want a house cat. The main reason I wanted a dog was for the amount of exercise it would need, and I would have to take it for long walks. Not to mention litter boxes aren’t my favourite thing to deal with. Still, I am glad I have a little animal to cuddle.
Additionally, most of the times when I bring up wanting a dog or getting a dog, it’s either in a jokey matter or it’ll be in contrast to something (for example there was a shady guy hanging around our street the other night and we don’t have an actual alarm for our house, so I went “yknow if we had a yappy little chihuahua it would be an alarm enough” or something like that) to which she will reply something short and growly along the lines of “you’re never getting a dog in my house”
Her reasons she gives for not wanting a dog? Number one, it’s “her” house. (It’s in both of our names, I paid half the down deposit and I pay half the mortgage and bills, and I pay for the Wifi. I’m not paying her rent, we both own it) Number 2, her friend is allergic to horses. (A friend that never comes over to our house anyway, and I understand fur allergies are complicated but it’s a dog. We aren’t anywhere NEAR horses! We live in town!) (this one is also BS because sister wants to buy a farm and have Clydesdale horses) Number 3, it sheds. We have a cat. The cat sheds more than the breeds of dogs that I really like or want. One of my favourites are the Xolo dog. Which has no hair. At all. Number 4, the cat is scared of dogs. (She isn’t. She’s never seen one in her life. I can get her used to having a dog around easily, even if she starts afraid. I’ve done it before when our parents have gotten new dogs around new cats.)
I’m not going to go behind her back and bring home a dog (even though there have been opportunities to get a free puppy multiple time) but I’m not going to stop wanting to have a dog or wanting to get one or talking about what dogs I like.
Our grandparents are moving to town and selling their farm next year, which sister wants to buy with me. I told her I’d like to move out of town into a farm, but only if she let me get either a dog or a donkey to protect our property against coyotes. (Especially considering we both want chickens if we get a farm)
She got really pissy at me about that, and stormed off. AITA here? I think she’s being a little unreasonable. I’m not a bad pet owner at all, I work with my animals as much as possible. I had my billy goat following me around the farm without a lead before I sold the goats, for pineapple’s sakes!
What are these acronyms?

15+ mods for adding realism to your gameplay
i wanted to group mods that i use together for different kinds of gameplay, along with some brief explanations so i can come back later to reference if i ever needed to.
please remember that these are just my own preferences for mods. i will update this post as mods are added to my game.
explanations under the cut <3
the mods
🤍 basemental drugs (21+) by basemental 🤍 child birth mod by pandasama 🤍 education overhaul by a.deep.indigo 🤍 home regions by kuttoe 🤍 language barriers by frankk 🤍 pets everywhere by kuttoe 🤍 relationship & pregnancy overhaul by lumpinou 🤍 simnation travel by a.deep.indigo 🤍 simzlink by lot 51 🤍 wicked whims (18+) by turbodriver 🤍 all mods by simrealist
mod explanations
🤍 basemental drugs: add a partying element to your gameplay with this mod. you can assign dealers to sell you a variety of flavors of drugs, but don't get caught by the police! i'm pretty sure this mod comes with some aspirations and the 'adhd' trait.
🤍 child birth mod: i've only used this once so far, so i can't speak on it much. but the delivery is more like real life instead of a baby popping into existence. you have options for surgery machine, natural birth, c-section, and also at-home births in a pool! there's a new ultrasound feature added, too!
🤍 education overhaul: education career, preschool, new education enrollment options, boarding school, new projects and assignments, study different subjects, detention, field trips, snow days, new school hours, i'm just listing some of the main points of the mod. haha.
🤍 home regions: this mod keeps sims in their native region. this means that if you live in willow creek, you won't be getting any vampires coming to your home or neighborhood.
🤍 language barriers: every world is assigned a language that is natively spoken. most worlds use simlish, but there are other languages spoken that your sim can learn through simlingo or by having someone who speaks the language teach your sim. this mod is incredibly customizable, so be sure to read the instructions carefully!

Tumblr media
part 2 | series masterlist
Tumblr media
The notification spreads across the top of your phone screen alerting you to a new message from KTH saying he would be going live within the hour as a surprise for his most loyal followers. Sitting at your favorite coffee shop near your workplace, you hastily close your laptop and pack up your things so that you can get home before he starts. 
You aren't working too far from home, only a short bus ride if the traffic is okay. You impatiently drum your fingers on your laptop case as you read the full notice he sent about his impromptu live from your bus seat. The city passes by quickly, and after a brisk walk from your bus stop, you finally enter your apartment, kicking the door shut behind you before shucking off your shoes and locking the door. 
Your laptop unceremoniously is deposited on the top of your bed as you plug in the various cords for your electronics and check the status of the ones you unplugged to make space. Another ping from your phone causes you to dive for it, seeing the seven minute warning from KTH for when his livestream will start, accompanied by  something new as well—a special code.
Shedding your clothing down to just the comfortable bits, you lay on your stomach, opening the laptop and signing into your lock screen before pulling up his site and typing in your code. A screen you’ve never seen before pops up asking you to complete a profile for KTH’s page, like uploading a profile picture and entering your address. 
You read more about the reasoning behind it because you’re a little hesitant to provide that level of intimate information; this session will be a little different because he’s testing a new beta feature with select fans from the platform that allows him to click on the profiles and learn about his subscribers and see the individual comments they’ve left for him. KTH wants to feel closer to his loyal subscribers—his fans know what he looks like and some stuff about him, but he has no idea about the people who leave him nice messages and send him gifts.
He has a countdown timer set for when he will start, and you decide to fill out the profile while awaiting his appearance before you. He’s usually good about following his streaming schedule, with various set times he goes live so that followers all around the globe can tune in…when it’s appropriate for them.
The sound of him connecting through the airwaves sends a shiver down your spine, and you use your feet to kick your blanket over your legs so you can grab it and get a bit comfier without having to turn away. He appears on the screen, golden skin and floppy, permed hair in all his glory. A close up on his upper half, with only a white tee pulled across his broad shoulders, his chest visible. 
He’s so handsome. A smile breaks out across his face as he reads through the list of subscribers who are already on, and you can’t help the way your chest tightens as you see his lips move as he quietly mouths your username. KTH’s Baby Girl. He smirks, looking back at the camera as he leans back as if to settle himself better into his computer chair. 
“Everyone, hi.”
His voice is a low timbre, sweet and full like molasses. You drink him in, the low lighting of the room he’s in adding to the ambience of his stream.
“I know this was unplanned, and I wanted to talk to you about the notice, and why only my most loyal subscribers might have been sent a notification. Today is a special day. I’ve hit a level of  interaction that allows me to become a verified account and it’s all thanks to the loyal fans—” he leans into the camera, and it feels as if he is staring into your soul when he finishes his sentence, “—it’s all thanks to you.”
You lick your lips, eyes dropping to the collar of his shirt that’s shifted to show the delicate bone structure of his décolletage, wishing you could imprint burgundy traces of yourself onto him.
“So this intimate session is with only a few of you, and one of you will be lucky enough to win a one-on-one session with me after this. The rules are simple, you’ll drop in the chat your fantasy, something you’ve always wanted to experience or do, no matter how wild, and I’m going to choose the one I want to do the most.” KTH winks at the camera before lightening the sexual tension with a chuckle. 
“I can see a few of you have set up your profiles, on my end, I can see the squares of everyone who uploaded a picture and damn…this definitely will help me today.” He pauses staring at his screen and a small delusional part of you hopes he’s talking about your picture—a risque one you took for a guy you used to talk to—but you’re sure others have uploaded images of sexual positions or their breasts and—
“I’ll give you all a few minutes to send me your wildest dreams and finish your profiles if you want, and I’ll finish getting set up for today’s fun. Start your submissions with ‘If I had my way with KTH…’ so I know it’s your official entry.”
Sighing, you move your cursor to minimize the fullscreen and bring up the chat, cursor blinking in the empty box as KTH disappears from the screen and sensual R&B music begins to play. 
You can’t think of anything to write, your mind blank as all thoughts are on KTH. You aren’t usually a negative thinker, but knowing that he’s going to pick the one that he likes the most adds a challenge to winning that makes you doubt your chances. You don’t know enough about him to know what he’s interested in to make him choose you. 
Just focus on what you want, girl!, you say to yourself, shaking your head as you clear your mind to really think about what your fantasy is with KTH. You know that your ultimate fantasy includes no screens, just in-person intimacy with him, but what you really want to do is please him. You begin to type, following his directions to share with him what you want most before hitting send and then reading through some of the other messages on the screen.
Tumblr media
[start of image words]
KTH: Start your submissions with ‘If I had my way with KTH…’ so I know it’s your official entry.
69KTH: If I had my way with KTH, I would want to watch him edge himself over and over until we ran out of time, him never cumming during our time.
KTHisDaddy: If I had my way with KTH, I want to see him jerk it with the camera from behind and under, with his ass to the camera, a buttplug filling him up and his hand or a toy stroking his fat cock.
KTH’s Baby Girl: If I had my way with KTH, I would want him to show me how to please him, show me what I need to do so that I can be his good girl. Whatever he wants from me, I would follow his lead, because his pleasure, him being proud of me, would make me feel good. I want soft music, candles, and KTH however he wants me. 
CumDump4KTH: If I had my way with KTH, I want to watch him cum into a cup and then slowly pour his spunk back onto his sensitive dick and then jerk himself with it until he cums again.
KTHfuckme: If I had my way with KTH, I want him to use as many toys as possible and be loud as he talks about how they all feel, saying my name as he moans and cums all over his cock.
[end image words]
Tumblr media
“Thank you for being patient.”
KTH appears back on the screen, but this time, your breath stops. The music is lowered and the camera is held above him in his own hand, an angle that he rarely uses. In fact, you can’t remember ever seeing him go full body, the lights dark with him appearing in shadows. He’s shirtless, the shape of his silhouette leaving your body yearning. 
He lowers the camera, laughing playfully with a deep sound as he teases the camera, leaning closer and licking his lips, smirking, and making eye contact while he reattaches it to his tripod. He knows he’s deadly and he doesn’t care. You’re glad.
“I took my device with me so I could read the messages as you wrote them. They were hot. You all are so creative. Even if you aren’t chosen for the one-on-one, you still may end up seeing your fantasy brought to life on a live.”
You smile, hoping that means he likes the idea you shared for setting the mood. You didn’t have to have him all to yourself. When you watch him in fullscreen with the chat hidden, it feels like it’s just the two of you anyways.
“I know some of you might not be able to stay since this wasn’t planned, but I’ll send you a message if you win once this session is over. Now…let’s begin.”
KTH always makes it good for his viewers. He always has a theme or a story for his lives, often dressing up to get in character. Today he has a little story about being a lovestruck boyfriend to his viewers, and he’s away on a business trip missing you. He sets the scene as if he’s in the hotel room, facetiming you before bed. 
It starts out cute, with him talking about his day and how much he loves and misses you, before he turns it sensual, sharing exactly what he misses most. He’s already stroking himself, a wide view of him seated on the bed, shirtless with pajama pants pulled to his ankles. 
You’ve already joined him as well, your dual action toy lodged deep within you on low vibration, the clit suction on one out of ten as you tease yourself, warming up to help time your orgasm with his. You roll your hips, movements pushing the tip inside you into your g-spot with each rock against the mattress.
“I think what I miss most,” he pants, cock held firm in his grip, “is watching the way all of your holes swallow me up, as if you can’t—fuck, baby—as if you can’t get enough of me.” KTH’s hand spreads the mix of lube and precum along his shaft in quick motions as he lets out a low growl. He’s good about keeping it gender neutral for his fans, though he slips up a few times and will use a gender when he gets lost in the feeling. Reaching next to him, he grasps the clear, silicone toy that’s shaped like a donut, and slowly slides it onto his hard member. 
Lowering his back to the mattress, he uses his legs as leverage to fuck up into the toy held in his hand, his other hand using a small remote to control the zoom on his device. It brings you closer to his throbbing dick and you up the speeds on your toy, mouth drooling to take him into your warm hole as your body convulses a little at the speed change. 
You watch as he lifts one leg, placing his foot on the mattress to make sharp, forceful thrusts, and he’s getting sloppy, whole body moving in euphoria. Your eyes roll back as he moans out, “Good girl.”
“Yes, I’ll be your good girl, fuck, I want you so badly.”
You can’t help but talk back to him despite knowing he can’t hear, and soon all you can hear are the groans that you’ve learned are his tells. He’s about to cum.
“Fuck, KTH, cum for me, please…”
“I’m gonna cum, fill you up like the good girl you are for taking all of me—”
“Yes, yes, please, I want it,” your fingers press the buttons and your muscles tighten as your lower tummy pulls and twists as your climax builds and then—
“Give me your orgasm, baby, I can’t cum until you cum,” and you scream out his name, or his online pseud, and it’s as if he knows, because he’s releasing, hot spurts leaking out around his fingers as he slows his strokes to ride out his high, murmuring praises as his form of aftercare to all of his subscribers through the internet. 
You fight to get your fingers to listen to you so you can turn off your toy, the overstimulation causing tears to form as you try to take as much as possible until he stops his motions as well—anything to make it seem like it’s real, like he’s really yours, and this is just you and him.
He slides the toy off of himself at the same time you switch yours off, and you sigh in satisfaction as he sits up and adjusts the camera so you can see his face better.
“You did so good, baby, I’m so proud of you.”
His voice wraps around you like a safety blanket, warm and so full of adoration, you almost believe he’s yours.
He leaves the screen momentarily and you can hear the rustling of cloth and the sink running. When he returns a few moments later, his pajama pants are back on his hips, though lower than before and he seats himself back in the computer chair.
“I hope you all had fun today with me, and keep a lookout for a private message from me announcing the winner. Wherever you are in the world, I hope the rest of your day is amazing, whether it's to start your day, sleep, or go to lunch.”
He gives a little wave before blowing the most unserious kiss at the camera, and the black screen saying ‘This live has ended’ appears.
Rolling over in your bed, you stretch your arms back as you groan, muscles still tense and coiled from how good the orgasm felt. Reaching down, you carefully detach yourself and get up to take care of cleaning up the mess KTH made you make. 
While in the bathroom, you hear your phone ping, and you rush to get to it. Swiping down to read the whole message, your face falls, false hope crushed as you shake your head at yourself.
‘Thank you for being a loyal fan. I had a lot of fun today. While everyone’s ideas were great, I can only choose one winner.’
Dropping your phone back to your bed, you curse yourself for thinking he would actually choose you and your fantasy as his favorite. Especially when some of the other’s were so much more detailed and hot. 
You’ve just taken two steps away to finish up what you were doing when your phone goes off again.
Tumblr media
[start image words]
KTH: Hey MY Baby Girl ;) I wanted to tell you that you’re the winner of the session today. Your idea really had me thinking and I’m excited to test another new beta feature...Let me know when you’re free for the one-on-one session. 
KTH’s Baby Girl: I...thank you so much! I’m free most anytime that you want to do this, I’m so excited. There’s another new beta feature?
KTH: Yes, this one takes it a step further, so not only will you be able to see me, but I’ll be able to see you, too.

You know what I miss?
(I'm gonna show my age here with this very specific and niche memory but bear with me. Or don't, whatever!)
Back when I was a kid, middle/high school ish, I frequented Gaia Online. I'm not even sure how to really describe that site (if you remember it, help me out here) but it was mainly an anime-esque forums where people could make different communities about a million different things, but it wasn't just forums. You had an anime avatar that followed you around the site, a currency you used to buy dress up items for your avatar, mini games and a a marketplace. Pretty sure there was some kind of stock market.
This was my online home for years.
I landed, somehow, on the Adoptables forums. Shops, technically, for people to "adopt" pets and then roleplay with them together. Some were original make believe worlds - one of the more popular I can remember was a world of wolf packs with their own lore and setting.
Specifically I remember being active on the Lion King RP forums called I think Shadows of Africa? The artists who ran them would sell colored lineart of lions in the style of the movie, with a little info card that displayed their name and the owner (you).
You couldn't roleplay with other people until you officially had a character through purchase, gift, or contest prize.
Each lion was unique and people gave them names from African languages (that was a rule). People formed entire prides and had special forums just for them, with rosters of who had what character, where you could "hang out" with others in your pride. Your lion would be able to age from cub to teen to adult after you had roleplayed a certain amount of time and applied for it with the artists. Your characters could find mates and breed and the artists would (for Gaia currency) remix the "DNA" of your two characters and you'd get a random number of cubs you could "give away" to friends or even hold contests for others who wanted to play.
I was just thinking about these communities and how much I loved everyone there. How much work these artists put into these communities, often without any real compensation except for pretend money. How elaborate they were. Giant games of pretend with strangers online. I did SO much writing on those RP forums, I actually feel in retrospect like it was a safe place to cut my teeth on writing and it was literally from the point of view from an OC Lion King character.
And there were so many shops like this.
I'm sure there was toxicity in some aspects of these communities, but I don't remember it, at least not to the level of toxicity the Internet gets to now. Maybe it's my rose colored glasses.
But every Christmas, these Adoptables shops would open up for people to Secret Santa gifts to your friends: a randomly colored gift, the .jpg or whatever sent to your inbox, that you could post in your profile or your journal. And on Christmas day, the artists would update all those images, and the wrapped gift would be replaced by a unique pet, randomly created for you by whatever colorists were working for the shop.
Like YES okay I understand how very childish it sounds now. Maybe even cringe.
But I've never found another sort of community like it. (Maybe discord, idk, I was too old and busy to get into discord when it came out.) So many artists doing so much work, just for others to play with pretend pets with their online friends and write silly stories about them together. These were people making dozens, hundreds of unique designs by hand, as far as I'm aware. Their workload had to be stressful. They were probably doing this in between studying or working real jobs.
But to this day, every Christmas, I think about those Secret Santa gifts. And every year I miss that excitement of logging in first thing to see all your gifts 'magically' hatch into adorable little creatures that were unique and yours.
This post doesn't have a point except I'm in my mid-30s and I still miss my online friends that I used to play pretend lions with in middle school. And nothing else has quite matched the very specific excitement of those secret Santa gifts becoming 'real' on Christmas.
And I'm so, so thankful to all the people - likely college students and adults - who did all this work just for fun. And I wanted to share this memory of some old communities that I still think back on fondly. I hope they're doing well in life, wherever they are.

My review of the Cute Pet Paradise virtual pet (also commonly called the “Tamagezi” by fans)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This toy is commonly known as the “Tamagezi” by fans, but did you know that it has an official Chinese name, which is 萌宠乐园 (or “Cute Pet Paradise”)? In fact, I would like to promote calling this the “Cute Pet Paradise”, because “Tamagezi” (拓麻歌子) is just the Chinese transliteration of “Tamagotchi”. I think the reason many fans call this the “Tamagezi” is because the Chinese sites that sell this call it the “Local-made Tamagotchi” (国产拓麻歌子). However, you won’t be able to specifically find this on AliExpress/Taobao if you search for 拓麻歌子, and will end up with plenty of results of goods related to Bandai’s Tamagotchi instead. You can find it, however, if you use the keyword “方糖萌宠乐园” (with 方糖 being the name of the developer) on AliExpress.
Anyway, on to my review. Overall, I think the Cute Pet Paradise’s programming is really awful for a couple of reasons that I’ll cover below.
So, starting with some basic functions: you get to pick from 3 eggs at the start (but I don’t think the colour matters), and you can get either a boy or a girl. There’s only one evolution path for each gender, but you can dress them up in different costumes once they become a teen or adult. The evolution period is really long, taking about a week for each stage (there are 4 in total, which are baby, kid, teen and adult). You can feed your pet, bring your pet to a restaurant to eat, plant crops in the garden which are ready for harvest after an hour and you can sell off for money (which will be one of your main sources of income), play games in the arcade, take your pet to the amusement park to increase their Heart stat when it’s low, take your pet to the toilet, vacuum the house or clean the bathroom, unclog the toilet when it’s clogged (but would need to buy the respective equipment), buy food and toys from the shop, buy clothes when your pet is a teen or adult, buy property when your pet is minimally a kid, buy vehicles anytime (even if your pet is still a baby), go to school, go to work when your pet is minimally a kid, visit a park, and use items in your treasure chest.
Tumblr media
The eating animation cannot be skipped, which I thought was one of the worst parts of the toy. Each food item affects your pet’s stats differently, and according to the mini guidebook that comes with the toy, the rice bowl fills up your pet’s hunger stat the most, so I usually spam the rice bowl one by one, having to sit through the animation each time. Sometimes, you get a little envelope icon to the left of your pet informing you that everything at the Western restaurant will be free for a set number of minutes. I usually send my pet to the restaurant when that event happens.
Tumblr media
The minigames’ payout rates are absolutely awful, and you can’t count on them as a good source of income. There are like 2 gambling games and I guess one of them can pay out well if you make big bets, but is also risky. The best way to make money in this game is by growing and selling crops, buying property and sending your pet to work. By the way, the crops all give the same amount of profit. I planted only the most expensive crop at first because I thought that the more expensive the crop was, the more you would earn, but actually the profit is the same regardless of what you grow if you deduct the expenditure amount of each crop from the revenue. Thus I started to just plant the cheapest apples every single time. Also, I recommend buying property as soon as your pet is old enough and as soon as you have enough money, because you will start to earn money every day just by owning the property.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can visit a park, where you either get to talk to a random character, clean up the park, obtain a random puzzle piece, or play with either a cat or dog (well, at least, they vaguely look like a cat or dog). There are 4 puzzles that you can complete in total, and completing each puzzle gets you some money (I think it was 10,000 GP if I remember correctly). But here’s where the awful programming comes in: it’s possible to get a puzzle piece that you already have, even if the puzzle is already completed. And as for the cat and dog, your pet will invite the cat or dog back to its house if you meet it for the third time, but they didn’t even program any checks on whether or not you already have a pet, so you can still meet the same cat or dog in the park even after you already have the cat or dog at home. If you already have a cat and you meet the dog 3 times, the dog replaces the cat (the game doesn’t even ask if you want to bring the pet home, the pet just goes home with you).
Also, I realised that based on the way the toy is programmed, the game’s time doesn’t actually proceed until you wake it up with a button. I figured it out based on the way the toy doesn’t call for attention. It seems like it’s programmed to reduce a set number of stat points depending on how much time had passed between the time the toy went into sleep mode and when it has been woken up. It then calculates whether or not to generate a poop or to show squiggly lines besides your pet depending on how much of the hunger stat has gone down. If it reaches a negative number in certain stats, your pet will be shown with an illness skull or with a dying icon above its head. I find that it will generally generate the dying icon if left unattended for about 8-10 hours, and if left longer than that, you will see your pet leaving you upon waking up the toy with a button. If your pet leaves you due to neglect, you have to reset the device and start all over again, meaning you lose all progress including money, items, and everything else. I thought this was the dumbest thing about the toy because you can get a new egg and keep your progress in the official Tamagotchi series. I had to restart like 5 times already just because I left the toy alone for more than 10 hours.
Another reason why I say that the programming is bad is because the A, B and C buttons will always make a sound when pressed, even if the sound shouldn’t be playing in that scenario (eg. they should disable button sounds from being made if they are not supposed to respond while in the middle of an eating animation etc, but they don’t).
The toy also determines certain events that will randomly happen each time you wake up the device based on how much time has passed, giving you the “You haven’t been to school in a long time” notice or the “The toilet is clogged” notice randomly. The funny thing is that it counts even sleeping time, so you could let you pet go to bed at night and then get a message the next morning saying that your pet hasn’t been to school in a long time. The guidebook that comes with the toy claims that the stats doesn’t go down when sleeping, but I’m not sure how true that is, because I usually have to fill up my pet’s stats every time I get up in the morning. Also, not unclogging the toilet doesn’t seem to affect usage of the toilet in any way, so I usually don’t bother unclogging it even when I get the notice that the toilet is clogged. You can clean the house with a vacuum cleaner and you can get your pet to take a bath, but unlike in the Tamagotchi series, neither your pet nor your room ever gets dirty, so you don’t really have a need to clean the house or give your pet a bath.
Tumblr media
For the school feature, the guidebook says that each class lasts 3 mins, but your pet doesn’t go back automatically on the toy, and you have to manually leave the school, even when it’s your pet’s bedtime. The guidebook also says you need to attend school twice a day. However, if I remember correctly, your pet is able to go home automatically after work after a certain number of hours.
The toy animations are all very short and are simple animations that totally have zero effort put into making them. Most of the toys just show a short animation of the toy being animated in some way and your pet reacting to it, like how the toy cat’s animation just shows the cat scratching with its paw a little and your pet smiling at it. The toy rose also just shows a short glowing animation and have your pet smiling at it. Also, all the toys are one-use for some weird reason.
If you buy a vehicle, the vehicle will replace your pet’s walking animation when they go out, and you can swap out vehicles anytime from your treasure chest.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Overall, the toy was kind of entertaining at first for me, but it got kind of boring and tedious over time, considering that I have to feed the pet food one by one with an unskippable animation, and I need to fill up their Heart meter by bringing them to the amusement park and letting them play on the rides, again with unskippable animations. Furthermore, the fact that your pet can die so easily and the fact that all progress is erased if your pet dies/runs away, makes gameplay very frustrating. As of now, I still haven’t gotten a single pet to the adult stage yet, only to the teen stage at the most, just one time. Also, I thought that if they hadn’t stolen Bandai’s icons for their menu, this would actually make for a pretty decent original virtual pet device. Thought it was funny the way everything but the menu icons were original graphics. The poor programming is a negative aspect too, but I guess you can’t expect that much from such a cheap virtual pet toy, which wouldn’t have gone through as much playtesting and debugging as the official Tamagotchi toys. While a lot of fans treat the Cute Pet Paradise as a bootleg Tamagotchi, to me I see it more of as an original virtual pet toy (compared to toys like the QPet, which is an outright clone of the Plus Color) if not for the fact that they completely lifted Bandai’s menu icons and the GP symbol.

Not naming names but the players who proudly scalp and snipe auctions really get on my nerves to the point where I dont even bother going on the TM very much anymore. Please grow up and let other people have things sometimes because they actually want the item and dont want to just turn around and sell it for fake currency profit. some of us are here to enjoy the funny little pet site

This is gonna sound a little silly, but I am a stationery fanatic. I love notebooks, journals, washi tape, fountain pens, colored inks, stuff like that.
I genuinely wish there was FNAF-themed stationery. Especially washi tape. Imagine FNAF washi tape. COME ON, how is that NOT cool!?
I wish I could design my own FNAF washi tape and maybe sell some of it. Unfortunately, I kinda suck at art. I love making it, but most people don't like it. And making digital art is something I sorely lack experience in, and I'd have to make my design into a digital format, so... yeah. Not happening.
Anywho... on a completely different topic, since I just thought about it, I pre-ordered a Glamrock Bonnie plushie from YouTooz! I have a YouTooz Glamrock Freddy plush (the standing version), and I wanted him to have his boyfriend! Besides, it seems to be the only official merch of Glamrock Bonnie... I also wanted to buy an Eclipse plushie, but I had also ordered YouTooz's CatDog plushie and didn't want to overspend. Hi ho diggety!
(I have way too many plushies, guys. Not just FNAF ones, though they make up a large percentage. I easily have 100+ plushies. I want to display some of them, but I haven't figured out how yet. A plushie net is unfortunately a no-go, so...)
Also one more thing: not exactly FNAF related, but... I have an idea for a mascot horror franchise I'd like to share with you. To anyone familiar with NeoPets? I was thinking of creating a web pet site in the vein of NeoPets, but with an extra-heaping helping of dark horror. The main draw would be the pets themselves: creepy-looking monsters and other impossible creatures you get to name, adopt, and find out the horrible origins of as you become familiar with the website.
The working title for this idea is HorrorPets, but it's so goddamn generic and too on the nose, which is why it's ONLY a working title. I've also hit a creator's block with HorrorPets because I'm not sure exactly how I want the pets to look. I don't want to make monster versions of Neopets because that's what Mutant NeoPets are. I want to create original monsters that are cute and cartoony, yet clearly unsettling or even disturbing in some way.
Like... I really want to make HorrorPets a real thing, an actual website that I myself would use! But I have so much anxiety about what could or might happen, it's probably never gonna get off the ground. Plus, the idea of asking for funding so I can hire people to help me with it terrifies me.
Imagine if it did become a thing, though. Imagine if it released special pets to promote different horror franchises! Imagine the crossovers I'd get to do!
Oh... and... I just had a thought. Unlike NeoPets, you can have up to 100 HorrorPets per account. For free. I don't know if would actually be feasible due to monetary restrictions concerning hosting, but that's what I'm aiming for in terms of scale.

As a new member in this species i just want to say that i *love* how everything on the site feel like false progression or the information shown on the site is awful to find out. 1. There's pet species but im not sure if you can even use them in prompts? 2. i was surprised that there's no way of obtaining a myo on the site, even like once per member. And the prices for usd ones? you can pay 70$ but all you get is subspecies and not any rarity, you can use max 3 common/uncommon traits? Naming them common or rare myo is so misleading. 3. The foraging gives you items but they don't seem to have any use? i might be wrong but i see no recipes on the site or anything, the description of those also say nothing. 4. There's event right now i guess? because it doesn't feel like an event at all but you get event items. all of it feels frustrating to navigate thru info that says you nothing. I wish they could just, idk maybe focus on finishing things they have before pushing in adding more useless items and selling customs or adopts. And maybe add more guides. Because it all looks cool from the outside, but when you enter the group all you can do is push a forage button three times a day. Months ago i saw someone winning raffle and getting hyped up so i though this species have something more to actually do. I might be wrong about some of these things, im not in this species for years, but it just show how not friendly for new members the site is. But as everyone here agrees, the art is cute.
Yeah like I said in an earlier post, it just feels like a prompts and forage species. Sure there's raffles but in my year or so of being in this species, I have won exactly one raffle, and it was for a common myo slot. Other people in the group are suspiciously habitual winners and it often feels like Feno is just picking people she likes to win, since we never actually see any of the drawings taking place like they do in species like Dainties.
Also I hard agree with you on the slot rarity thing. It really doesn't make sense to call them rare myos when you don't get to use any rare traits, but what do any of us know, we're all just morons.
Stuff like crafting and dungeons and leveling have been on the site for awhile but nothing has never been added to them or has been mentioned in updates so like. Why bother teasing features on the site if you're not going to implement them?
I feel you, man. Honestly you might be better off in a species that does more than Symprites does. Plus with the way the group is right now, you'll probably never get one anyway.

I SURE SHOWED THEM!
In 2008, I was working at a small comics-news site, and I was the guy who was charged with writing TO SEE, OR NOT TO SEE. That was the column where we reviewed comic book movies and TV shows (and also things like DOCTOR WHO and THE BIG BANG THEORY), and at one point, my boss asked me to write about the then-new IRON MAN movie.
I am sharing this with all of you, fully aware of how totally absurd it is, but I will say that I have never wavered in my disdain for CIVIL WAR, either in comics form or as a CAPTAIN AMERICA movie.
From 2008-me:
I will not see Iron Man.
As a longtime comics reader and comics journalist, I have never been a huge fan of the character of Tony Stark.  His most compelling arc, to me, is the classic Demon in a Bottle, recently reissued through Marvel's hardcover program, wherein Stark battles with alcoholism rather than a supervillain.
Or, if it's the current incarnation of Stark, a superhero.
That, of course, is what's at the heart of my compulsion to avoid the Iron Man film: Marvel Comics's Civil War and the role that Tony Stark/Iron Man played in it.
Civil War was Marvel's definitive story of the last ten years; nearly all of its central characters played a role, and it revolutionized the way that superheroes are viewed by the public and written by the creators of the Marvel Universe.  The basic premise of the story was that a group of young, irresponsible superheroes took off after villains way over their heads.  When the situation got bad, the reality-TV superheroes were more worried about looking good for their audience than pulling back and saving lives, so ultimately a powerful villain set off an explosion that devastated a large area surrounding the bad-guy hideout.  Caught in the blast radius was a school, and the parents of the children killed managed to guilt Tony Stark into supporting a law mandating registration of all powered beings.  In spite of years of resisting a "Mutant Registration Act" on the grounds that it was discriminatory toward people born with powers, many of Marvel's heroes did an about-face on the issue in the face of the terrorist attack.  Tony Stark led the charge of the characters who were willing to trade their freedom for security.
That weakness of character was not the reason that I gave up on Iron Man.  Obviously, the story could have been a metaphor for the 9/11 aftermath, when people made bad decisions because their fear and confusion led them down a callow path.  What made Stark a villain in my eyes, was his willingness to take the disagreement to the next level.  Superheroes punching each other over just about any issue is old hat--but Stark authorized his people to use lethal force, leading to the deaths of heroes who opposed the Registration Act.  And when, later in the story, he began to seem to lose his handle on the situation, he responded by recruiting villains to his cause, granting them immunity and a license to hunt good guys who didn't agree with his pet legislation. He became, effectively, the villain of the story.
And in that way—using immoral methods that other heroes would not stoop to—he was ultimatley declared the "winner" of the superhero Civil War. In the final moments of the decisive battle, Stark's reliance on technology was laid bare when his armor was shorted out by a clever Captain America—the leader of the insurgents—who could have ended it by killing Stark but didn't do it. Because Captain America is, after all, a hero.
Or rather, he was a hero. In the aftermath of the battle where Captain America spared Iron Man's life, the spy organization that Tony Stark's military ties had put him in charge of arrested Captain America. Betrayed by his longtime friend and ally, the hero of Civil War was assassinated on the courtroom steps en route to his trial.
A fairly reasonably person might ask, "What does the Iron Man comic, which sells around 100,000 copies a month, really have to do with the blockbuster film by the same name, which will undoubtedly be seen by more people this afternoon than the comic is all year long?" It's a fair question, and one that I've been faced with (sans the statistical specifics) by dozens of people who I've told I refuse to see the film.
The answer is Joe Quesada.
Under Quesada's stewardship, Marvel has become more media savvy than ever. Their Internet capabiltiy (and even simple things like providing electronic copies to critics), the fact that they own their own film studio now and Quesada's willingness to run, scripts in hand, to any mainstream media outlet who will carry the story anytime a major plot point is set to be revealed, have come together to show Quesada's understanding of synergy and the notion that comic book characters are not merely two-dimensional personalities inhabiting a 2-dimensional world but rather franchises. The Spider-Man and X-Men franchises, for example, are hugely successful and the merchandising money they bring in far outweighs the money made by the comics. As we saw with the Back in Black story that was shoehorned into the Spider-Man titles around the time that Spider-Man 3 was in theaters, the movies, TV shows and other media dictate to a great extent the direction and even sometimes the specific plot details of the comics.
Put simply: If you give money to Iron Man: the movie, and the Iron Man franchise thrives, then Quesada and his cohorts at Marvel Editorial will be left with the impression that Iron Man—comics and all—is headed in the right direction.
And I just can't give my ten bucks to that.

Tumblr media
A look back on 2022
I will typically do a blog article at the end of the year talking about all the paintings I did in the year and my plans for the following year. Since this is my first year on Tumblr I thought I would post it here as well for anyone who cares to read my drivel.
2022 was a hell of a year. I completed 19 pet portrait paintings on canvas, 8 pet portrait ornaments, and 4 original paintings (with plans to make at least one more before the year is over!) The ornaments are something new which I added a few months ago, and thought it was a nice addition to my pet portrait offerings. I am already booked into April of 2023 for portraits! I did my very first chameleon commissioned painting, thanks to my sponsorship of the wonderful Chameleon Forums, and already have two more scheduled for next year, which I am eager to paint. I created a wonderful original painting of a capybara which has become my most popular work of this year, as well as a box turtle, another red fox, and a polar bear.
The natural color style really seems to have taken off this year, with almost half of the 19 customers requesting that style. This is a deviation from my typical style, which is using bright colors on both the pets and the backgrounds. A couple of years ago, my most frequent customer requested that I paint some of her portraits with more natural colors with colorful backgrounds, and I thought it was a nice change. After doing a few of these I decided to add it to my choices for customers in the hopes that maybe it would encourage more sales of portraits. Maybe not all customers want bright rainbow colors but like my style anyway. In 2020 I did two portraits like this, and again in 2021. But this year for some reason about half of the customers wanted that style, so I think it was a good decision to add the style choice.
Etsy Store News
My Etsy Store has been doing very well this year. I changed my blanket printer, and the new blankets are much thicker and softer than the old ones. They also offer two sided printing, which is spectacular, and was an often requested option from my customers! I also added 15oz accent mugs to the 11oz listings, and added some more color options. I added several new holographic sticker designs, including the infamous capybara, gecko, peacock, panda, tiger, and mandalas. I added die-cut magnets, which are cut out to the shape of the animal. There are cool new ceramic ornaments as well, most of which are available in circle and heart shaped. Garden Flags seem to be a popular product, and make great gifts! I added a few wall tapestries as well, and will add more with time. I also have three cool holographic art prints which have a crystal shard effect. This was a unique find a few months ago when I saw another artist selling these prints, and I found the company that makes them and got a few to start.
The Upending of the Normal
This year has been a never-ending shit show for artists all over the internet. I myself have not been immune to the shit storm this year. Personally, I have had to close down two long standing accounts, move my website, and deal with the Twitter fallout by opening two new social media accounts. It honestly feels like the entire internet just collectively took a massive shit on artists this year, and I am so tired of it.
New Webhost
First, my website. I have had a website in some form since 1996 when it was hosted by Geocities. In 2000 I created my own hosted website with my own domain name. My site had gone through countless iterations in the past 22 years, from self-taught HTML, to plug-and-play templates, to a Wordpress site. Websites have changed a lot since the early days, and it is hard to keep up with all the changes. I have always been on top of security and safety, and am very careful with how my website is set up. That being said, my former webhost was constantly sending me emails saying that I was over limits, which is impossible, as this site is tiny and uses very few resources. They refused to help me diagnose the problem, so after 22 years I jumped ship to another webhost and could not be happier. It was a hard decision at first, but I am glad I left.
Closing Zazzle Store
Next, I had to close my Zazzle store permanently. I have had that shop since the early days of 2008, and was one of the mass-exodus from CafePress at the time. I have generally been extremely happy with the site and their products. But I can no longer recommend them to any of my artist friends. They have made a series of changes over the years which has really hurt artists and designers on that site, and I almost left in 2020 when they made changes that really impacted the quality of the site. They implemented banner ads for one, which make the site look like a trashy scam site and additionally steer customers away from buying products on the site. Not to mention most of the ads were for actual scam and illegal sites! They introduced collaborations and custom backgrounds, which took away a huge portion of the original designers income from that sale. They also had an issue with products continuing to be allowed to be purchased if the product was a customized one, even if the original product had been deleted.
But the straw that broke the camel's back was the removal of the watermark, the increased size of the preview images by almost double, and the implementation of allowing customers to download a full resolution digital copy of the artwork. The changes basically enable thieves to take designs from the site wholesale. I already have tons of problems with copyright infringement, I don't need to compound it. Not to mention the major lawsuit that Zazzle is facing in regards to possibly illegally obtaining the fonts they use in their product design tools.
So I made the difficult decision to close my store earlier this year. Which really sucks because it actually made me a decent amount of money, their products were great and unique, and their design editor was unparalleled.
Closing my DeviantArt and Artstation Accounts
I have been with DeviantArt since 2006. While they have made changes which have upset the artist community, none compares to the bullshit they puled last month. Not only are they doing nothing to stop the massive influx of AI art on their platform, they are encouraging it by having their own in house AI "art" generator called Dream Up which uses the controversial LAION-5B database that StableDiffusion and other platforms use. This database scraped the internet of 2.3 BILLION copyrighted images without artists consent to train their algorithm, which means the database is highly unethical and rife with theft. Due to this, I abandoned my DeviantArt site and just left up my links.
At the time of writing this article, ArtStation is pulling similar shenanigans, so I have closed that account as well. They have made it explicitly clear in their terms of service that they support AI "art", and will not ban it from the site. They are also shutting off comments of artists who are protesting. And apparently earlier this year they were also deleting posts about supporting Ukraine from their site. So I am done with them now too.
Social Media
I will not get into the Twitter issue here, since it has been discussed ad nauseum for the past several months and I am honestly tired of hearing about it. I hear worse and worse news about it every day. I honestly don't want to leave Twitter because it has been a major factor in driving traffic to my Etsy store, especially since Pinterest took a dump 2 years ago and stopped working for me. But will leave if the dumpster fire gets more severe. It will not be a big loss to me.
So in preparation for that, I have opened two new accounts: Tumblr and Mastodon. I actually had a Tumblr account many years ago, but closed it due to inactivity. Mastodon is very new to me, and so far I have liked the experience. I am stretched kind of thin right now so I think that is enough social sites for the time being.
Reopening TeePublic
I reopened my TeePublic store after it was closed for a year and a half. I originally closed it since I was not getting many sales. Also I really dislike the interface for uploading new art. It is cumbersome, and tedious, and the inability to select different files for each product means that I had to upload new "designs" for different products, meaning a lot of duplications in my store. But since I closed my Zazzle store I needed to make up for the loss of income so I thought I would give it another shot. So far it seems to be doing ok.
Conclusion and Hopes for Next Year
My plans for next year are to basically continue what I am doing already. This year saw so many changes as it is, and I am not really antsy for any other major changes at the moment. I will be actively making spaces in my schedule for original art, which has become a very important part of my portfolio. I will continue to offer portraits, and as always improve my skills and hone my style.
I will be monitoring my Society6 store this upcoming year. It may be on the chopping block if it fails to turn around. I do not have plans to open any more e-commerce stores next year. Instead I will be focusing on driving traffic to my existing stores, as well as adding products and new designs to my Etsy store.
And that is all. Hope everyone has a great new year!

I know you've been through a lot lately but you're trying hard and you're doing good!
Def get pets if you can, maybe try the pet finder app/site? Its were we found our dog, it matches you to lots of pets in shelters and fosters based you the criteria you input, which makes it a little easier than looking like on FB or craigslist,
Also if you still want friends in your area, maybe try starting an open FB group for games in your area like DND or sports? Try to build a little club of friendly people online and then see about meeting once or twice a month for games and shenanigans?
Definitely don't take my advice if you don't wanna or if it doesn't seem feasible, just saw the tags on your last post and know how rough things have been for you this year.
Aw, thanks! I am trying.
I will certainly check the local adoption sites, but from past looks, the local dog adoption sites were wall to wall pitbull and pitbull mixes. I like pitbulls! This is NOT a pitbull hate zone! But they're just too big for me. I will still check when I'm ready, but I'm probably going to have to find someone selling. Probably a chihuahua or chihuahua mix. Smart, small, trainable, with minimal grooming needs. For a cat though, I'm definitely going for an adoption of an adult dog friendly one!
As for the facebook thing, I don't actually have a facebook I use? I HAVE one, bc mom did (which reminds me, I need to go on hers and tell them she's gone) but it is a) not under my actual name, and b) has absolutely no local connections (I think it says I'm from cali still). So not sure if that will work. I might consider it tho, if I can't figure out how to find a group of queer nerds to vibe with some other way.
This is somewhat crippled by the fact that I have not successfully made actual brickspace friends since high school apparently. I was thinking about it earlier and yeah, that is the last time I made non-internet friends that I didn't eventually find out did not think of ME as a friend. Which is a depressing thought, but I shall persevere in an attempt to Real Person again, bc humans are pack creatures dammit, and i may be an introvert, but i still need human connection!

Happy Thursday! You have some interesting names in your WIPs—how do you come up with them? Is there a naming convention you use, or do you flip through sounds until it feels right? What character do you think has the coolest name, and can you tell us about them?
HI!!!!!! And thank you for the ask!!!
I LOVE coming up with names for my characters and my WIPs! I sometimes use behindthename.com and seventhsanctum.com to use names and then name generators! I actually got the name Di-Ne from a planet name generator from seventh sanctum and then later changed it to Dai-Nē for pronunciation's sake cause people were pronouncing it dee-nay instead of die-nee.
My character Tursanay was from a mix of name sites and a name generator, then I used Behind the name to pick a T name for her father because I wanted her to kind of be named after him but I found Tyrus which means "rock" as in something you can form a foundation on which was important for Tursanay to have in her younger years and thought it was fitting. Then I took Tursanay and Tyrus and made a third name: Kursani - her mother and basically reverse-shipped named Tursanay after her parents. Tyrus + Kursani = Tursanay: A spitfire with a big heart.
I kind of suck at title names sometimes for my WIPs even though I love coming up with them? Like take Curiosity Killed the Elf - stroke of genius. She's curious like a cat, she's an elf, she nearly gets herself killed every chapter just about, but satisfaction brings her back from dying each time.
But then look at Love Triangle Gone Wrong - kind of on point, but not really a selling point. (*I* don't care I *love* it, but will the audience? idk).
I think my favorite character name besides Tursanay and her parents has to be Nindë [Nihn-day]. She was my first OC and I just love her to pieces. While she does somewhat look like me - the long red hair - everything else is different. Size, shape, eye color. We're nothing alike. She likes to fight, steal, run, ride horses, and I like to write, create, relax and pet cats. She likes summer and I hate it. She and I would not get along irl, but I think she's great and love her morals.
She's very black and white when it comes to how people are treated. If you're mean to people you perceive as beneath you, she hates you instantly. However, when she realizes there's more to one side to people and that you can be misconstrued as rude instead of what you were going for, she softens that black and white view and stops judging people so harshly. She starts out very prideful and ends up very mellowed out.
Thanks again for the ask and letting me ramble while I wait on work to send me stuff to do! I appreciate it!!!

I'm working on my author website, realizing that I have no idea what my author brand might be. I wanted something whimsical for MG, but who knows what work of mine might even sell and what genre. That being said, what is the BARE minimum agents want to see if they go check your author website?
If you are not yet published, I think it's fine to have an extremely simple author website -- The main thing is, really, is just you want to make sure you have your domain name BEFORE you need it. So nabbing it now and even just sitting on it, or putting something very simple up is totally fine.
Basically this can be a glorified business card: It would be nice to have a bio that includes a bit about you / what you write, a photo of you, links to your social medias, a way to contact you. Maybe some pet or "fun" photos if you wanna jazz it up. If you feel compelled to do more, like have an "updates" page where you do kind of a blog-check-in or writerly advice or whatever now and again, that's fine (and that can be useful later when you actually DO have news and things to "update!") -- but also you can just add that when the time comes, so don't stress about it. This is just so that info / links about you is in one place, and if people google you, hopefully they will find the correct you.
The thing about these modern DIY websites -- Weebly, Wix, etc -- they are very inexpensive, look great, and are SUPER simple for you to update and add on to in the future as you grow. So you can start with the bare bones -- when you get an agent, you add THAT info. When you have book news, you add THAT info. When you get a book jacket, maybe you adjust the colors and feel of the whole site to go with it and add a Books page with preorder info and all that jazz, and start a press kit page and an Events page -- suddenly, lo and behold, you have a robust and useful website! You did it! Yay!
