The Boys got up early. Today is Ji Ho's first Therapy Game session. Ji Ho still supports Jack with his yoga and meditation practice to ease his pain and they convinced Saiwa to join them this morning. It will do him good too.

And while Jack explains the asanas to Sai, Ji Ho is lost in thought. He worries it will hurt Vlad if he marries Caleb ingame. Vlad doesn't deserve this after all he went through because of him.

Ji Ho has to talk about this before he enters the game for the first time. And so he told Sai and Jack about his worries. But Jack reassures him: "Vlad told me to tell you that whatever you do in your therapy is ok for him. Don't worry."

Saiwa: "Even though it is made up as a game, we all have to keep our end goals in mind. All of us. Always. The journey will be the reward. Whatever helps you to - safely - get your feelings back, will also help Vlad. When you're able to overcome your trauma, you will finally be able to love Vlad. And Vlad knows that. So don't hold back because of him."

Saiwa is right. All this madness has to end so Vlad and he can finally be together. Jack: "What happens in the game, stays in the game. Ok?" Haha, Jack is obviously also thinking of Lou and him ^^' Ji Ho: "Ok." But they all agreed that Vlad won't attend when Ji Ho is in his Therapy Game. For his own good.

It's still early and they decided to go for a swim before breakfast and Ji Ho's session. So Ji Ho can relax a bit.

They changed into their swim wear and when Jack turned around, Ji Ho and Saiwa couldn't believe their eyes. The rash on Jack's lower back is gone! Saiwa: "Omg Jack!"

It's still painful as hell when he's not ingame, but his whole body hurts so Jack didn't even notice since when because he doesn't see it! So does the therapy work already or is it because of his steady yoga and meditation practice or because he's apart from Kiyoshi? (Oh my, I know this so well! I try a lot of stuff which is supposed to help me with my condition and when I finally suceed on sth, I have no idea what exactly it was that helped!) He twists and turns but he can't see it ^^' Jack, the puppy chasing his own tail hahaha.

Jack: "I take this as a sign to go for it should Lou hit on me!" Of course he does...

Ji Ho and Saiwa sighed. But they also take it as a good sign: that the Therapy Game will help them. And Sai is determined to enter the game after Ji Ho is back safe and sound. They have to move on. And they'll have to return back home to the others and fix their relationships.

Saiwa and Ji Ho go back to the house to prepare breakfast. And lazy Jack stayed in the water.

Saiwa: "The last one by the house is cleaning the yoga mats!" Jack: "Hey!"

My sweet Lord - George Harrison

I had this song in my head when I edited this episode and when I looked for it on youtube, I found this short film: 'Official Music Video for George Harrison “My Sweet Lord” In celebration of the 50th anniversary of George Harrison's classic solo album, All Things Must Pass.' It starts with Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker!) and there are so many other actors I know. Plus Ringo!

Episode 32: Big Moments

The last few months of Paul's freshman year at Foxbury were a time of self-discovery and authenticity.

After he’d broken things off with Jamie, Paul felt free to start exploring his sexuality. He started thinking about how motivated he’d been at the beginning of the year to find someone to settle down with. Now he realized he needed to get to know himself better before he committed himself to one person.

As for Thornton, Paul got over that crush pretty quickly and he was glad to no longer be involved in the drama between Thornton, Morgana, and Jamie which seemed to never end. He remained casually friendly with them, but he mostly hung around with Danica, Wesley, and Nasir.

He also started getting to know Deshawn a little better, who it turned out was crushing on him in high school as well. But getting to know himself wasn't the only thing he wanted to do that year. He also wanted to come out to his family.

Paul was relieved to find out that everyone in his family was accepting of his bisexuality. Having the support of his friends and family made their bonds grow stronger. He was grateful to approach his sophomore year without the burden of being closeted holding him down.

*New Story!*

hello friends! I've recently started afresh with a new story and I'm really excited about it!

Lucky Boy is a spin off of my first TS4 story - Lucky Girl (You don't have to read that to read this... although you might like it hehe)

It's a coming of age/romance story about a boy called Jude who's family own a holiday home on the south coast of Ireland. It follows him through several periods of his life, starting in 2008 when he is 16 and ending around 2014 when he is 22.

If you're in the market for a new story in 2024 and this sounds like your thing then maybe come and read along! I've been posting here on tumblr (schedule TBC), and I'll be posting on Wordpress as well starting tomorrow.

I've only posted a few updates so far so maybe you could check it out and see what you think

START HERE

Thanks so much, guys! I look forward to meeting more of you and finding more amazing simlit in the new year!

Content Warning: The discussion in today's post contains mention of childhood emotional abuse, dissociation, and self harm. Please proceed with caution or skip if needed.

Phoenix: Why don’t you talk to your parents anymore? What happened? Dawn: Nothing happened… Fine, if I tell you, can we never talk about this again? Phoenix: Sure.

Dawn: [pauses briefly to think about how to explain] I don’t like talking about them because I don’t like to remember what it felt like… It’s just that… they didn’t care about us at all. If they did, they never showed it. The ONLY thing they cared about was appearances. We were always expected to look and act a certain way, and I swear I could never get it right. I was too loud and too messy. And when I disappointed them, which was all the time, they would just… ignore me. They wouldn’t look at me or speak to me. It was like I’d cease to exist. It was devastating.

Dawn: When I was little, I didn’t understand, so I would throw massive tantrums trying to get them to acknowledge me. I’d scream and cry and tug on them. Eventually, they’d look at me, but they’d just laugh. Like it was the most hilarious thing they’d ever seen. Atlas never tried that, he shut down early on and would just stay in his room. Eventually, I gave up and did the same. I don’t think they ever really wanted us.

Phoenix: That’s awful. Why would they try so hard to have children if they didn’t want them? Dawn: Because that’s what was expected of them.

Phoenix: Can I ask you one more thing? Dawn: What? Phoenix: The scars on your arm…. Why? Because of them or…?

Dawn: Um, yeah, I guess. It’s hard to explain… Sometimes I would wonder if I was a real person, like I really wasn’t sure. I was always trying to do everything perfectly, to get it right. There was a part of me for a long time that worried if I didn’t, I might actually disappear one day. Not like dying, but just like, ‘poof’ from existence. And I’d get really upset And I’d feel disconnected from myself, like I wasn’t really in my body but outside it, and it was scary. But this [rolling back her sleeve], it helped... I’d feel the sting and see red, and it would bring me back into my body and remind me that I was real. And I’d feel better for a little while.

Dawn: I don’t get it. They’re the only two people in the world who were supposed to love me… unconditionally… like instinctually… and they didn’t. I never understood why. I never understood what was so wrong with me. Phoenix: Nothing. You are the best person I know, Dawn. Just because they clearly don’t have the capacity to love, doesn’t mean you were ever unlovable. I’m glad they’re not in your life anymore. They don’t deserve to be.

Phoenix: I love you so much. I promise, I will do everything I can to make sure you feel loved every single day. Dawn: You already do.

Dawn: Promise me something else? Phoenix: Anything. Dawn: Don’t ever give me the silent treatment, okay? No matter how angry I make you. Phoenix: Never. I promise.

Dawn: Thank you. I love you. Phoenix: I love you too.

Lydia’s phone makes the incoming text notification sound 

notification: 1 new message from Rosie” 

Text from Rosie with a photo of Rose in a skimpy bikini. Text says:  Is this too much? 

[intercom buzzes]

Henry: Director Bauer, your 9:45 is here

Lydia: SHIT!  [Lydia drops her phone] Send them in Henry.

Lydia: Agent Day, Agent Ames how was Selvadorada?

Agent Maya Day: Very successful we received some good actionable intel.

Lydia: Maya, I read the report. I want to hear the unfiltered version

Maya: My gut tells me we’re missing something.

Lydia: What do you mean?

Maya: Things aren’t adding up. The increase of drug activity on the streets should be much higher at least doubled based on the amount of cocaine being exported.

Lydia: So where is the rest of it? Are they trying to avoid flooding the market?

Maya: No, It’s like there is a new market. One we don’t know about.

Maya: The good news is we think we found the entry point for Del Sol. We’ve got local PD and some agents keeping an eye on things.

Maya: We also snagged one of the cocaine filled counterfeit artifacts. I left it with Wilder to see if she can tell us anything.

Lydia: Alright keep me posted, you know where to find me if you need anything.

Maya: Got it. We’ll leave you and your 10 am whiskey be.

Lydia: Maya you know me far better than that, it’s iced coffee.

Lydia’s text back to Rose: Too much what? Cleavage? Depends on where you’re wearing it.

Drum roll please...

I'm very excited to announce that I've just launched my first Sims series on Substack called Life in Twinbrook.

Before I share the first chapter with you, I just want to say that I love this community so much, and a big part of why I enjoy being here is because I think we all share, to varying degrees, a love of storytelling. I've connected with so many of you over your stories and characters, so I'm really excited to share this with you!

By publishing this series and sharing my writing, I'm hoping to not only connect with fans of my work, but to also build community with other storytellers and writers here. Even if you're not writing with The Sims, I'd love for us to support each other–especially with Nanowrimo around the corner.

I'll be making a separate posts for the first chapter and series cover, but you can check out the pilot 'episode' here, which opens with my character, Ryan O'Neil:

Life in Twinbrook: Pilot

If you enjoy this first chapter, please consider reblogging my work, leaving a comment, and/or subscribing to my Substack (it's totally free) to get chapters, BTS content, and updates sent right to your inbox. Having your support is what inspires me to keep going on this journey toward becoming a full-time writer, and I'm hoping I can do the same for you through my upcoming content!

If you decide to subscribe to my Substack, I'll also be going BTS into the writing craft, sharing occasional fanfiction (we all seem to love pretty similar game series, like BG3 or Dragon Age) and taking you on the journey of developing my debut fantasy novel as I get ready to write another draft in November for Nanowrimo. 💪 You can expect new content to drop every Friday, starting Oct. 6th.

Thank you for reading! 💗

Saiwa was just about to get Ji Ho ready for his first Therapy Game session, when Noxee called!

Noxee: "BABIES!" Saiwa: "Noxee?!" Noxee: "Have you forgotten what day it is? We have a surprise! Send Ji Ho home, the others are waiting!" Saiwa: "Eh - ok? ö.Ö' " Noxee: "Oh! Greg is awake, see you!" Saiwa: "Noxee?" Jack: "Omg these two! I'm so going to marry her ingame and make her forget that this Greg ever existed!"

And so Ji Ho went home to meet the others. He really misses Jeb.

Noxee ordered Ji Ho and Vlad to port her and Greg over to the Otherworld. Rubyn built something new to try out! Last time they used Rubyn's OTDs (Otherworld Transport Devices) was in January. And only to transport the Boys to the Otherworld. Not to bring someone else here. Lets hope it works!

Of course it worked, since Noxee and Greg helped a bit. They are able to travel to the Otherworld under special circumstances. For example when they helped Jack and Saiwa to find their horses. Here they are! Haha and Kiyoshi is still so excited when Noxee and Greg kiss. Just the opposite of Jack ^^'

They still have no clue what their visit is all about. Noxee: "Boys - seriously? It's Beltane!"

Vlad checks the calendar on his phone. She's right. They totally forgot it over all the crazy stuff that happened lately...

Noxee told them Rubyn invented something new for them so they can travel around in the Otherworld! That was about time! They are stuck here in Otherworld's Tomarang for a few months now since the Council is still after them... They went over to the garage.

Noxee: "Greg and Jeb are going to connect Rubyn's device with the vehicle and then you should be able to travel to other destinations in the Otherworld!" Ji Ho: "That would be awesome! What kind of device is it? And which vehicle?" Noxee: "It's right before your eyes!" Vlad: "The ancient, broken TukTuk?" Jeb: "And an old telephone?" Noxee: "Sure, why not? Why build something new when we can repurpose perfectly fine stuff we already have?" Jeb: "And what's in the bread box?" Greg: "That's for the crystals and the meteorites of course." Jeb: "Of course."

After Greg and Jeb put the crystals and the meteorites in the box and installed the device, they moved the Tuk Tuk out of the garage and Jeb, Kiyoshi, Vlad and Greg climbed inside.

That's one of the cutest things I've ever seen! Poor Vlad in the middle of the two tallest and broadest ^^' Reminds me when Saiwa was cramped up in the middle between Jeb and Barfolomew in Rita's truck when they drove to San Myshuno :3

Noxee: "See you soon! We'll call Sai and Jack and meet you there!" And then they vanished.

Episode 33: New Ventures

Seth and Reese were finally turning one and the DiMarcos were ready to celebrate! Lucy and Christopher couldn't believe their boys were growing so fast. It seemed like just yesterday that they were preparing to bring them home. Now they were beginning to walk and talk.

Lucy was thrilled with the wonderful job Kaylynn had done putting the party together. As she’d requested, it wasn’t too over the top but everything looked great and ran smoothly.

The food truck arrived just in time to feed their hungry guests, and there were plenty of age-appropriate activities for the kids to enjoy while the adults mingled.

Everyone was having a great time, and Kaylynn seemed to be quite proud of what she pulled off.

“You should do this for a living,” Lucy told her. Kaylynn laughed it off. “No, I’m serious,” Lucy continued. “Maybe not just kids’ birthday parties, but anniversary parties or even weddings.”

Lucy pointed out all of the connections Kaylynn had around the community, how skilled she was at planning things, and most importantly, how much she enjoyed helping out other people.

Kaylynn’s eyes grew wide.

“You’re totally right!” she exclaimed. “I loved putting this all together, and if I become an event planner, I can have some control over when and how often I work.” She thanked Lucy and went to find Matt to tell him about Lucy's great idea.

Later the boys had their birthday cupcakes and got more on their faces than in their mouths. They had so much fun that they passed out in their high chairs when they finished.

After Lucy and Christopher got the boys all cleaned up, Lucy spotted Damien walking toward her. She’d extended an invitation to her boss but hadn’t expected him to actually show.

She introduced him to Christopher and the boys and before long, the conversation predictably turned to work.

Damien told Lucy that seeing the new projects being developed and how they’d been received had reignited his passion for the company.

“I’ve had a lot of ideas about how I want to continue with the expansion of the company,” he said. “But I’d be remiss not to get your input given the work you’ve put in so far. Are you interested in becoming the Coordinating Producer for my new production company?" He was quick to assure her that the promotion would come with a pay increase.

Lucy couldn’t turn down a challenge, especially if it meant some actual collaboration with someone as accomplished as Damien. She was happy to accept the offer, but she asked for one small favor.

"Can I hire an assistant?"

Damien was happy to oblige her request, but he had one more surprise in store for her.

"I think I found the perfect name for the production company, but I wanted to get the okay from you first. How do you feel about Sunny Side Productions?"

Lucy was thrilled with the idea. They both felt the moniker was perfect for the new venture. They had just began discussing adding new members to the team before they were interrupted by Matt and Kaylynn.

“Sorry to leave so soon, but–” Kaylynn began.

Matt interrupted her by shouting, “IT’S BABY TIME! WOO!”

Kaylynn smiled and continued, “My water just broke.”  Lucy promised she’d forgive them for dipping out early to bring a new life into the world.

Chapter Twenty (Part 4)

When I’m certain he’s gone and he’s not coming back, I finally allow my muscles to collapse, and as soon as I do the tears start flowing again. My eyes are already raw, and my throat sore from the last time, and my fingers come to clutch at my heart and my throat as though I need to pull away the invisible hand strangling me. I hurry away from Marnie’s house, down the ramps towards little Seapoint Beach, where the dark sand is littered with slimy seaweed and rubbish from the day, and the moon glints off the waves, white spumes of foam peaking with each undulation. I sit on a wet, green rock and take out my phone. I feel desolate. Sucked under by my loneliness, the knowledge that I have ruined everything and there are things I’ve broken that I may never repair. There is only one person in the world left to call, and I dial the number. 

His voice is cracked and sleepy as it comes over the line. “…Hello?”

I realise that I won’t be able to speak to him without crying. It takes me a long moment to gather myself, my chest heaving with an anticipatory sob. 

He repeats himself, more soberly this time. “Hello? Evie, is that you?”

“Hi Shane.” I blubber. “I’m so sorry I called you.”

“What’s wrong?” 

I sniff. “Are you… I’m so sorry I know it’s like, almost three in the morning… are you still in Cyprus?”

“No, I’m not, we got back earlier today.”

“Oh. You’re in Dublin right now?” my heart lifts with the thought of him being nearby. 

“No, I’m at home in Tullamore at the minute, in mam and dad’s, why?”

“Oh, it’s okay then, don’t mind me.”

I hear fabric crunching over the line, presumably his duvet as he gets out of bed. His voice comes down the line urgently. “Evie, what’s happening? Are you okay?”

“No.” I admit with a soft hiccup, and then my shoulders begin to shake. I bring my free hand to my face, my nose running over my mouth. 

“Where are you?”

“I’m on Seapoint Beach.”

“Alright. Can you stay there? Are you safe?”

I nod. “Yeah, I’m fine, I’m just a bit cold.”

I hear him moving about and the thump of a shoe against the floor. “Hang on, I’m coming.”

“Shane, you’re too far away.”

“I’ll be an hour and a half, there’s no traffic at this time… where’s my keys…”

“I don’t want you to have to do this… I’m sorry I called you and woke you up, you must be so tired…”

“It’s nothing.” He insists. “I’m on the way. Seapoint Beach, the one between Blackrock and Monkstown, right?”

I sniffle “Yeah.”

“Stay there, okay? Don’t move a muscle. I’m coming now.”

“Okay.”

“Call me if you move, or if anything happens. I’ll have my phone with me the whole time.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s grand. It’s nothing.”

We hang up and I wait.

I hear the distant swish of tyres on the road before I see him. The sky is lightening already, even in these early hours of the morning, and his Fiat Punto is backlit with hazy purple as he pulls up to the curb at the entrance to the beach. I gasp with relief when I see him, he gets out of the idling car and I run up the ramp towards him. 

“Evie.” He says as I launch myself into his arms. We don’t usually hug each other, not like this, but tonight he wraps his arms around me and holds me to his broad chest so tightly that I’m afraid he’ll crush my ribs to dust. “I’m here now.” He says. 

“I can’t believe you came all the way.” I say, the sound muffled in his fleece as he rubs my back. “Sure, of course I did. What else was I meant to do?”

“You could have left me here.”

“I’d never do a thing like that.” he says it with this kind of disturbed edge to his voice, as though he can’t fathom that there are men out there who would. He looks down at me and tuts softly. “What are they after doing to you at all?”

“I can’t.” I sob. “I can’t talk about it now.”

“That’s fine.” He says, and then hesitates before saying, “Where’s your top?”

“Oh.” I say, looking down at my bikini and shorts combo. “The rest of my clothes are in a bag inside the house. I’ll just leave them there.”

“A whole bag of stuff, like?” 

I nod.

“I’ll go in and get it for you.”

“You don’t have to, Shane, really, it’s fine.”

“Is there anything important in the bag?”

I pause. “My purse and my phone charger are there.”

“I’ll get it.” He says decisively, and then when I look at him worriedly he reassures me. “I won’t look at or talk to anybody, I’ll just quietly go in and get it and then I’ll leave.”

I tell him where the bag is and how to find it, and then I wait by the car. It’s only five minutes before he comes back with it, takes my hoodie out and tosses it to me. “Throw that on you there.”  

“Shane…” I say as he stands at the driver’s side door across from me. “I’m glad that you came.”

“Yeah it’s no problem.”

“And I’m so sorry.”

“No sure, it didn’t end up being a long drive at this hour anyway.”

“No, I mean, I’m sorry for everything else that-”

“I know you are.” He interjects. “And I’m saying you’re alright, we’re here now, it is what it is. I’m just glad you called me.”

“I’m glad too.”

He gets into the car and leans over to open the door on my side. “Come on, in you get. I’ll take you home to your mam.” And I do, and he sticks on the radio as we pull away, driving on towards the rising sun.

Transcript:

Phoenix: I’m really glad you’re coming with me tomorrow. Julian’s going to love you. Dawn: I’m looking forward to meeting him. You said he’s your dad’s brother, right? Not your mom’s? Phoenix: Right.

Dawn: And you guys have never talked about your dad? Even when you lived there? Phoenix: Uh-uh. Never came up, I guess.

Dawn: Aren’t you curious? Phoenix: About what exactly? Dawn: I don’t know. If he’s still out there somewhere?

Phoenix: You make it sound so ominous. Like he’s some serial killer lurking in the shadows. [turning and pretending to attack her] Dawn: [shrieks and laughs] For all you know, he could be!

Phoenix: I highly doubt it.

Dawn: Fair enough, but don’t you at least want to know if he’s alive? Phoenix: I don’t see why it matters. What are the possibilities really? He’s dead and I’ll never get a chance to know him? Or he’s alive and chose not to know me, in which case I don’t want to know him. Is one better than the other? Dawn: I suppose not. Phoenix: Exactly.

[Dawn ponders for a moment, wondering if he’s right. Phoenix looks up, seeing her brow furrowed and her eyes scanning the room but not looking at anything in particular. He realizes the conversation isn’t over yet when she starts chewing the inside of her lip, and he waits for her to speak.]

Dawn: What if I wanted to ask your uncle? Would that be terribly inappropriate? Phoenix: Uhhhh… kind of. You really want to know that bad?

Dawn: I just think, maybe it would make a difference if he couldn’t see you versus choosing not to. Don’t you want, I don’t know, closure or something? Phoenix: Dawn. Dawn: What?

Phoenix: I don’t need “closure”, whatever the fuck that means. Maybe you need to stop focusing on my family and deal with your own. Dawn: That’s not… you don’t know shit about my family.

Phoenix: Only because you won’t talk about them. Dawn: … Phoenix: [gesturing toward her] Case in point.

Dawn: [sighs and sinks to the floor] I don’t know what you want me to say.

Phoenix: Why don’t you talk to your parents anymore? What happened? Dawn: Nothing happened… Fine, if I tell you, can we never talk about this again? Phoenix: Sure.

The True Story of the Villareal Family [3.1]

prev // home // next

It was finally the weekend at the Windenburg community pool, and it always started with a certain sound.

Flip.

Flop.

Flip.

Flop.

Flipflopflipflopflipflop.

Savvy poolgoers knew to get out of the way when they heard the march of the flip-flops, because it meant the Paragons were coming.

The Paragons descended in concert, perfect skin and teeth gleaming in their coordinated pink bathing suits.

Their entrance at the community pool was a power statement.

Normally, Luna would bask in the attention, but today she was daydreaming about someone: a mysterious knight she had recently met. Her little crush was still a secret from the Paragons, but she was sure they’d approve of her Prince Charming – once she figured out who was in that suit of armor.

The Paragons turned the corner and seated themselves at the front of the pool in perfect synchronicity. The Paragons were club royalty, and the pool was their kingdom.

But they were also benevolent, allowing Windenburg’s peasants to share the community pool even if they were less-than-perfect.

So, shall we take a tour of their kingdom?

────────✦───────

“On days that end in ‘y’, we wear pink.” - Paragons

Of course, at the head of the pool sit our favorite club in Windenburg, the Paragons. Popular, pink, and perfect, one does not simply admire the Paragons – one worships them.

“Hey, we’re not Partihaus *all* the time. Right now we’re just don’t-talk-to-us-we’re-hungover-haus.” - Partihaus

In the northeast corner sit Windenburg’s biggest party club, Partihaus. They throw the best ragers, and while they’re all hot messes, they typically don’t have beef with other clubs. (Their drama is mostly internal and probably due to the fact that they’ve all hooked up with each other at some point).

“So, would you rather fight 10 duck-sized llamas, or one llama-sized duck?” - Misfits

At the east side of the pool loiter the Misfits – townies who belong to obscure clubs, or worse, who don’t belong to any. These are the kids who bring their homework to the pool and then complain when their books get wet from people splashing near them.

Luna’s twin brother Hugo was regrettably a Misfit, but she still loved him. Not everyone’s jib is cut out to be a Paragon.

“I’m ugly and dumb and like to break things.” – a Renegade, probably

And finally, we have the Renegades. If the Paragons are perfect, then the Renegades are the exact opposite of perfect. They’re a group of no-good criminals who enjoy harassing people, breaking things, and vandalizing the city.

And the Renegades and Paragons hate each other.

So, I'm sure it'll be another peaceful, drama-free day at the Windenburg community pool...
