Last part of Ji Ho and Vlad’s possible future house in a paralel universe.
This must be underwater love
The way I feel it slipping all over me
This must be underwater love
The way I feel it
O que que é esse amor, d'água
Deve sentir muito parecido a esse amor
This is it, underwater love
It is so deep, so beautifully liquid
When I first saw you, I was deep in clear blue water
The sun was shining, calling me to come and see you
I touched your soft skin and you jumped in with your eyes closed
And a smile upon your face
Você vem, você vai, você vem e cai
E vem aqui pra cá porque eu quero te beijar na sua boca
Que coisa louca
Vem aqui pra cá porque eu quero te beijar na sua boca
Ai que boca gostosa
After the rain comes sun And after the sun comes rain again
Cai cai, e tudo tudo cai Tudo cai pra lá e pra cá
Pra lá e pra cá E vamos nadar
E vamos nadar e tudo tudo dá
Tell us your 3 fave OC ships and the song(s) or other media you associate with them. They can be your own OCs or the OCs of someone else (it's more fun if you include someone else!) Pass this on to 3 others (on or off anon) and let's keep the game going!
Strap in folks! Somebody asked me to talk about love (my favourite thing after cats) so I'm going to go for it! I'm going to do 3 ships of other simmers (I'm afraid I won't say what media I associate with these as I don't want to misrepresent any characters) and 3 ships of my sims because "Hang the code! And hang the rules! They're more like guidelines anyway" (yes, Pirates of the Caribbean is still going around in my head)
Other's Amazing OC 🚢 (so hard to pick)
Vlad and Ji Ho by @satureja13. I am a big fan of romance that takes its time and these two fit that. Check out their writing if you haven't already as there are several sweet couples trying to find their way in the world. If you're searching for a song for them well... the story pieces come with music to get you in the headspace.
2. Victor and Yuri by @stargazer-sims. I've only just met these two recently but I love them already. To me true couples support each other, and the devotion these two have for one another is shown in the writing.
3. Excuse me while I do 3 for number 3 because I'm indecisive. Zinnia and Momo by @belsasim. Young love is adorable! Who knows what these two have ahead but I'm excited to see how it goes. Erick and Noemi by @matchalovertrait. I love a couple that cheer on each other's dreams, and these two do that. REDACTED and REDACTED by @simmerbeans. The 7th generation is so sweet and that's all I'll say because no spoilers here!
My Beloved OC 🚢
Reece and Samir. I love these two because they communicate with each other. It drives me insane when couples go through problems created by not just sitting down and having a proper conversation. Yes they're on the spicy end of the spectrum, I wrote a mini TedTalk for @daedriyth about why, but beyond the spice they are pretty damn devoted to each other.
Song: Suburban Legends by Taylor Swift because I listened to it loads when writing them actually getting together so in my head, there's a connection.
I didn't come here to make friends
We were born to be suburban legends
When you hold me, it holds me together
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
2. Rahul and Cassandra. Rahul came along and showed Cassandra a life beyond the expectations of being part of the Goth family. They have moved to the country and together are working on raising their kids (and still want more kids). Rahul wants to give Cassandra the large loving family that neither of them felt they had growing up.
Song: Beautiful Day by Joshua Radin because the it sounds like them. It's about connecting back to nature, shrugging off the negative, and making a peaceful home where you are.
Gonna climb that hill behind my house
See what this place is all about
Cause from above it all, you can't help but say
It's gonna be a beautiful day
3. Keira and Marta. Keira was getting over a teenage romance when she met Marta. The two clicked, Marta is a romantic and Keira has the soulmate aspiration. Marta may have an abusive ex but Keira has proposed and is longing to make a love nest with the girl who helps her feel good about herself.
Song: Meant To Be by Bebe Rexha ft. Florid Georgia Line because they took their time when they started their relationship. Keira was still very new at dating and Marta was wary after it took her so long to realise her ex Liam was treating her like trash.
No need to go nowhere fast
Let's enjoy right here where we at
Who knows where this road is supposed to lead
We got nothing but time
Ji Ho was reminded of his time with Luci. He saw Luci naked almost every day when he used to care for him while Luci possessed Vlad’s body.
Meeting Luci again in the tavern, when Vlad had let him in, makes Ji Ho wonder if Luci is still somewhere in Vlads body, just not being able to show himself because Vlad is conscious.
And maybe Vlad was reminded of them tightening the bond on winter solstice, when they had sex.
When Vlad finally got his eyelight back then and the first thing he saw was Ji Ho.
How beautiful he was, sleeping, with his skin rosy after their climax.
And how tenderly he had loved him.
Vlad couldn’t help it. His self control was already used up from seeing Ji Ho half naked in the pool...
And maybe, while his thoughts wandered around Luci, Ji Ho enjoyed touching Vlad Luci a bit too much and his hands wandered under the towel.
Ji Ho came.
Vlad came.
Hearing Vlad moan brought Ji Ho back from daydreaming.
Had he hurt Vlad undeliberatly?
Ji Ho: “Forgive me.”
And then Ji Ho left.
He really hopes there is nobody outside so he can change his jeans quickly and wash up unseen before Vlad comes back to their trailer.
If Vlad knew Ji Ho enjoyed the massage in this way, he would kill him ö.ö’
Vlad’s cold, black heart was pounding like crazy and he tried not to pant too heavily.
If Ji Ho knew Vlad enjoyed the massage in this way, he would be devastated and he would refuse to touch Vlad ever again.
The bond in need to be charged or not.
Before Jack had sent Vlad over to the trailer, he told Vlad that Ji Ho told him that he had learned to give massages at the brothel, where his mother used to work, to earn some money to pay the rent.
Dammit, if Vlad ever get’s a grip on that bastard from the brothel it needs more than wolf Jack to hold him back.
The year 2020 saw a influx of Boys Love dramas throughout, and introduced several much loved couples. However ultimately it was Thailand that reigned with the masterpiece that is I Told Sunset About You. Not to be outdone the Philippines let loose a flood of BL dramas, with Gameboys and Like In the Movies two top picks of the year. Japan easily won back the hearts of millions with Cherry Magic and Life Senjou no Bokura whilst South Korea jumped on the bandwagon with a string of lovable web-dramas like Mr. Heart and Where Your Eyes Linger. Vietnam brought to the table a different kind of BL drama that was the more violent and action-packed Tien Bromance (and its many spin-offs) and Taiwan stayed on its track of miniseries with Because of You and Craving You. Even China had a BL this year, the low-budget Capture Lover.
To be honest finding twenty was not hard, since I think and this is not an exaggeration there were almost a hundred BL titles in the year. Narrowing that down to twenty was the hard part.

Part two of Ji Ho and Vlad’s possible future house in a paralel universe.
I already mentioned that I know Vlad for over 10 years now.
I’ve never seen him so happy.
After taking these screenshots I’m eager to proceed with the story to finally see them together 👩💻
A sharp gaze digs into my head
It's not me, my chrome heart hasn't moved at all
It's what you chose, woah
Flowing through your blood vessels
Are hundreds of millions of my crystals
Finally it has started, the end of my transformation
Isn't this love too? Oh, woah
I am the sorcerer who controls you in your dreams (Oh, ooh-woah)
With my spell, you're yet again longing for me (Oh, ooh-woah)
I got you under my skin
My devil's ride, there's no place to hide in anymore (Oh, ooh-woah)
So why don't you enjoy it now?
I got you under my skin
Mirotic - TVXQ
(still one of the best songs I’ve ever heard.
Lyrics translated from korean/ not by me)
The house is still a wip. We got distracted all the time!
Ji Ho and Vlad finally together let us forget the surroundings 💞
Ji Ho was reminded of his time with Luci. He saw Luci naked almost every day when he used to care for him while Luci possessed Vlad’s body.
Meeting Luci again in the tavern, when Vlad had let him in, makes Ji Ho wonder if Luci is still somewhere in Vlads body, just not being able to show himself because Vlad is conscious.

Outtakes
They can’t live in peace...
I forgot to check what Jack was doing -.-
It had been a long and dusty ride from Mount Komorebi. Like Jeb two years ago, they hichhiked.
None of the trailers has a bathroom so they had to use the facilities in the main building. The youngest ones went to shower first because Ji Ho was longing for the pool and Sai and Vlad discussed how to proceed.
Gladly Jack scented the lab staff with his paranoid nose! Otherwise they would have run in a trap!
Vlad suggested to go alone to the lab, to not put the others in jeopardy and to keep Sai and Jack from facing their trauma again.
Of course Sai denied. They are in this together, as always.
Even more, now that they have to go through this without Kiyoshi and Jeb...
But if they disguise themselves, like the goofer suggested, no one would recognize them.
Omg Ji Ho! Well, they are wet anyway.
Their faces!
(Poor Jack is missing Kiyoshi so much. Even though he kept secrets from him and would come for him one day...)
It was decided that Sai and Jack stay together in one of the trailers so Jack can warn Sai if the lab staff or Sebastian come near them again.
Means: Vlad and Ji Ho together in the other trailer.
Means: A challenge for Vlad’s self control... As if it wasn’t hard enough to see Ji Ho swim...
Sai: “I wonder what regular people are doing right now...”
Soundtrack on youtube: Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes
I'm gonna fight 'em all
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
Ji Ho is worried because the bond drags Vlad and him together. He knows that Vlad loves him and it must be hard for him to endure that Ji Ho wants to be around him all the time even though he does not love Vlad - but Luci. After Ji Ho used the bond to call Vlad for help, it got even worse. The bond wants them to get physical ö.ö They hugged - twice - at the snow festival even though they never really talked to each other or touched (only when Vlad claimed Ji Ho and when they tightened the bond).
Giga: “That’s nothing to worry about. The bond needs to get charged. After such an extreme strain even more. That can be done in different ways. Usually with the love between the two bonded. Weaker bonds between vampires and their servants by drinking their servant’s blood. But that’s impossible in your case because it would kill Vlad. Since you don’t love Vlad, the only thing left is physical contact.”
Jack: “But don’t worry. Vlad likes it! Look, he didn’t even complain when I kissed him when we rehearsed. And? Did he complain after you tightened the bond?”
Ji Ho: “Uhm - no?”
Jack: “See! He’s quite a cuddler!”
(Jack’s logic is brain twisting... and Vlad did complain when Jack kissed him! omg)
Vlad is determined that the next book he’s going to read will be ‘1000 ways to kill your best friend’... (of course he overheard it - as always)
When they finally fell asleep (!) Vlad went over to bring Ji Ho his new Simmi figure. (Vlad often gives Ji Ho secretly presents because he knows Ji Ho would feel uncomfortable if he would give them to him openly. The Ewok on Ji Ho’s bed is a present from Vlad too.)
After all that happened Ji Ho worries about him and his feelings... and since Kiyoshi burned the mixture, he can’t even bring Luci back for Ji Ho to comfort him.
TMI: Vlad got Yamachan Simmi first ö.ö
So he bought another one instead...
Poor Ji Ho. He evolved new fear thanks to Yamachan’s Party ;-;
Soundtrack on youtube: Physical - Olivia Newton John
I've been patient, I've been good
Tried to keep my hands on the table
It's gettin' hard this holdin' back
If you know what I mean
Let's get physical, physical
I wanna get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk, your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
Their hearts were heavy and they needed to leave for a while - so they took a long walk.
Vlad: “Won’t you let go of my hand eventually?”
Kiyoshi: “Eager of being frozen in an ice block again, are you? After what you did today I will even fasten my grip on you!”
Vlad: “Ouch!”
They try to act strong but they are so helpless. There’s nothing they can do for their loved ones. Just wait until they feel save enough to open up to them.
And try to make them feel save...
It hits Jeb the hardest since he is convinced that he is not worthy to be together with Giga. Maybe he can aproach him as just-a-friend to help him through this.
(We will hear about their past when Jeb and Giga tell their story in a few weeks).
Soundtrack on youtube: Chiquitita - ABBA
(This song is still so beautiful and they even perform it in the snow in this video!)
(thank you for the ‘suggestion’ ;) @trofysisters )
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong
You're enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you've broken a feather
I hope we can patch it up together
So the walls came tumbling down
And your love's a blown out candle
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
TMI: I always thought of Vlad being the only one of them being ‘immune’ to Kiyoshi. But no chance! This is quite amazing to me because he is only close with Giga and Jack (they are his only friends) - and Barfolomew and Ms Coombes of course. And it is even more amazing because Vlad is the only ‘acts like a top - is a top’ of them. (Kiyoshi is ‘acts like a top - is a bottom’). So letting Kiyoshi telling him what he has to do is... yeah, amazing for me ;)
Oh no - not again!
Jack: “OMG! It’s Vlad! See? The hair makes the difference!”
Giga: “And what about - the eyes?...”
Vlad: “Who ever laid hands on me - I’m gonna kill him!
And why is it so damn dark here?!”
...
Vlad: “Who? Who was it?”
...
Kiyoshi: “It was me.”
aouw Kiyoshi is once again Ji Ho's shining knight!
Barfolomew: “Jack, take Vlad to his room. We’re going to look after ... uhm *cough* you know who *cough* ... first.”
Noxeema: “And while you work on your projects, Ji Ho and Vlad can charge the bond right next to us. We can have an eye on them, so no ‘little accidents’ can happen ;) “
omg how did Noxeema know about this!
Ji Ho wonders if Vlad's scars still hurt him and he hesitates.
Jack: “Don’t worry. You know Vlad is an excellent healer. He just keeps them sore enough to remember him to not k...”
Vlad growls: “Jack!”
(Ji Ho doesn’t know that Vlad tends to kill everybody who hurt Ji Ho. The scars are from his fight with Jack, who wanted to stop him from killing that bastard from the brothel where Ji Ho used to live before.)
Jack ‘Dramatic’ Callahan doesn’t know how much time he has left until Kiyoshi comes for him. So he’s determined to enjoy every moment.
He’s so glad that it isn’t awkward between Ji Ho and Vlad after they had tightened the bond. They are even sitting next to each other and Ji Ho seems to have lost his fear of Vlad too :,)
Jeb is checking his Social Bunny messages and suddenly makes a stifled noise.
Jack: “Jeb? What’s wrong?”
Jeb: “Oh... Francine sent me fotos. They all seem to be at Tartosa.”
Jack: “Let’s see! Who is that guy next to Barfolomew???”
Jack found a little package with his name on it under the tree.
A dog tag... and it has a writing on it: “You’re mine. K.”
And at the bottom of the package ... uhhh... ö.ö’
He went to their room to try them on.
omg Jack... it’s hopeless with him.
