#a little earlier than planned

SENTATE - The Cordial Collection

This months collection was inspired by a mix of garden party glam and wedding guest chic. I was kind of aiming for some vintage 1940s inspiration but somehow I think I ended up in the 80s... either way; get your sims all dressed up for a stunningly stylish brunch date!

This 6 item set comes in my 30 swatch colour palette plus 15 print swatches. I've also made a second version of the Blaire Dresses with a slightly higher neckline and bigger bow.

8 Items Total / 30 Plain Swatches (+15 prints). Public: May 31st

Yeah y'all know the drill by now, this fine specimen from this wonderful story by @patchwork-crow-writes

#i wasn't going to sleep until this was done #i didn't realize it was already two in the morning though good lord #i guess that means I technically missed my goal but oh well #i did it; and compared to how i was faring this time last week... #...that's more than what i can ask for #it's very messy please don't zoom in lmao i beg #it was a nightmare trying to fix the little mistakes my dying hand made earlier this week #so after a certain point i stopped trying haha #this is by no means my best work and has almost none of the stuff i learned last year in it #but the motivation for this was spite and i think just finishing it is good enough for now >:) #yippie #see i wasn't initially planning on drawing any more for this story buuuuuut #i started this on my birthday and had to put it away because of school #and i'd be damned if i didn't finish it before school started again

saw dune 2 and it was fantastic. my no-spoiler review is they really went nuts making the harkonnen as creepy and gross as they possible could and i respect them for that. also. Big Worm.

#liveblogging life #it's a lillll longer than i expected and i kind of wish they'd introduced feyd-rautha earlier #bc it would have given even more of a proper build up to that final fight #as it was he wasnt introduced until about 1/4 of the way into the movie so it felt a little too quick for the proper drama #acting was excellent the cinematography! oh my god! the WORMS! oh my god! #dune 2 spoilers #loved it lots im very curious how they plan to adapt the sequels #every time the harkonnens were on screen i was like physically repulsed backward in my chair by them. good times.

I think making fun of people for being scared of something makes you 1 million times more of a loser than the scared people. Genuinely

#sorry i got woken up earlier than planned and im immediately getting angry about things OH WELL #talking about media. btw #idk i think. i think replying to a post about someone saying they cant listen to a somg cuz it triggers paranoia #with ‘you people need to watch (actual gore videos)’ #is like. fucking deranged? #do you feel better. do you feel special. are you the bravest little thing on earth. aw good for you. #goddd youre so fucking Quirkyyyy youre Crazyyyy!! #should we tell everyone should we throw a party should we invite a 13 yr old who shows people shock videos #the kat goes meow

Ingo held Khan's scaled wrist gently as he examined the claws his friend now sported. Five fingers had been turned into four deadly talons, new to Ingo but already put to gruesome work by the hybrid.

"I'm sorry about your hands..." he said softly. Khan shrugged as he examined his other claws.

"Eh, don't sweat it. It's hardly the worst thing they've done to me." He responded mildly. As though his body being changed against his will to a weapon was the norm. Ingo glanced at his eyes, his fangs, the remnants of his horns- and remembered this wasn't the first time his friend had been altered against his will. His grip on Khan's hand tightened.

"Still," he insisted, "if we'd found you guys sooner..."

If they'd found Khan and Nana sooner, Khan would still have his hands and Nana would still have both eyes. If they'd been just a little faster to realize the hybrids were missing, to remember where they had come from, if they had pushed their pokemon a little harder to fly and fight-

"I'm glad you found us at all, honestly." Khan said it off the cuff, without thinking, but must have felt how Ingo's grip tightened again. He turned his head to look at his friend and Ingo felt mild dread at the look in his eyes. As Khan leaned forward he cringed back just slightly.

"Hey, look on the bright side!" Khan accentuated his words with a point from his claws. He must have seen Ingo's confused upset because he smiled wider.

"The bright side?" Ingo repeated. There was a bright side to this?

Khan shut his eyes as if he was a teacher explaining something incredibly simple.

"Oh, my sweet summer train man, of course there is!"

He stuck out his claws like Elesa and Skylar did when they were showing off freshly done nails. The scales gleamed in the light, dimly iridescent.

"I match your color scheme now!"

Ingo's gaze remained on the claws for a moment. Was this really a good thing? Khan had lost another important part of himself because he and Emmet had been too slow. Was the simple black nature of his scales that important? Could it make up for everything else?

He looked up with tired eyes, meeting Khan's gaze again, and realized that Khan was not as unaffected as he thought. He was giving Ingo the softest smile he'd ever witnessed on the other man's scarred face, his eyes half shut and gentle. Khan had been there when it happened, had suffered the consequences, just as he had the last time he'd been abducted. He would figure out how to deal with his new appendages just as he always had before. It was not quite old hat, but it was also nothing new, and something would have been changed no matter how quickly he and Emmet had arrived.

For the first time in the years he'd known Khan, the hybrid was being sympathetic and offering Ingo a comfort over something he had no control of. Yes, he now had claws and scales, but they were the color that Ingo most frequently found himself in. The color of one of his closest family members. Ingo wondered if Khan had used that as a way to comfort himself after it happened, but didn't dare ask. Instead he tried smiling. Surely it was weak, but the worried look in Khan's eyes lessened.

"Yes, you're quite right." Ingo grasped Khan's claws as if they were still his hands, holding them tightly. He would get used to them, just as Khan had. It would be alright. "Another color would have been quite unfortunate."

#Khan a. #I have no name for this au #TLDR Emmet and Nana met up in the future-present. Nana developed beyond Khan and they managed to track them down in Hisui #And get them home. Akari comes with ofc. Ingo and Akari go back to visit their friends in Hisui regularly. They return after a visit #To find Emmet in distress. While they were gone Khan and Nana were abducted by the organization that originally made them what they are. #Secret labs are not as easy to find as people think and it takes some time for them to track down where Khan and Nana ended up. When they D #They find nana missing an eye. Khan missing his hands. And (to their surprise and horror) Rei. From Hisui. #Who is now a (hisuian) Growlithe hybrid in a similar manner nana and Khan are also hybrids. #Everyone gets saved but not without some losses. Given ow hpeaceful everything has otherwise been... this is upsetting to the train men. #Akari copes by making a pros and cons list of their new abilities and helping Rei adjust to the future #(he can't go back to Hisui because he still exists there... nobody knows why or how he came to be in the organizaion's clutches) #Emmet and Ingo are determined to track down and eradicate the rest of the offshoot branches of the organization but each feel guilty #If they'd been faster. If they'd been smarter. If they'd found a clue a little earlier. #If if if if if. Khan and Nana are no strangers to undesired body modification and are already getting used to them. #(primarily by mocking each other. They're allowed to. They've seen the worst of each other in the first hybridizations and now this.) #For Khan it's very much a 'well. This wasn't planned. Time to adapt.' #At least they didn't give him soft mittens he couldn't inflict damage in #but now he has to be careful lest he unintentionally inflict damage (he cut Akari by accident once already. It gutted him.) #Anyway that guilt manifests into ingo apologizing (more than once) #And Khan trying to convince him it's fine. It sucks but it's fine. It's not ingo or Emmet's fault. #Ingo better appreciate gentle and sympathetic Khan while he's got him cause once the guilt is over Khan is going back to being a bastard #Also I apologize for the beanie but I haven't figured out hair for ANY info #And I was not about to draw his bitch ass hat

Apparently I need something more stable and reliable (than a book order) to use as an anchor for depression season 🙃

#open to suggestions of Things to look forward to until the hell that is long daylight and high heat days is finally over again #like late June/early July through August maybe i kinda have halloween decor hunting #so I'm like ''ok if i make it through these bad pain days & regain the ability to walk more than 10 paces i can go look at halloween stuff'' #but late March until the Halloween stuff starts trickling out? i have nothing #i HAD owlcrate (this is literally one of the biggest reasons i had it so long because it was often the only thing that kept me going) #i genuinely don't know wtf to do because most things i would suggest for other people aren't options for me #like coffee shops or restaurants or going for a hike #i was supposed to have a plan in the works for how to deal with this but depression season seems to start a little earlier and last longer #every year now

Bendu telling Thrawn "I see your defeat, like many arms surrounding you in a cold embrace" they really had that purgill stuff planned huh

#foreshadowing i missed the first time around got me 👀👀👀 #but it's also interesting cause i thought they were told the show was ending a little earlier than expected #and the fourth season was rushed #so i just assumed they didn't exactly have all their story beats planned out #i could be wrong though hakdhskdjs i don't completely remember what exactly went down and when #thrawn #star wars rebels

Fort Worth Zoo has hit a bit of a hurdle in Jameela's rearing because the female they had hoped would be a surrogate mother for her just isn't interested enough so they're now focusing on another female in the troop.

There are people commenting on the above update making comments about like giving Jameela to Zookeeper Chad which is super annoying but there is a special type of humor in seeing this when I'm still so sure that Fort Worth Zoo had a subtle, plausibly deniable dig at Zookeeper Chad and Mogo Zoo in one of their initial posts about hand-rearing Jameela fgyeuiud

Anyway, the keepers at Fort Worth Zoo are doing great for Jameela and I have no additional worry for her future.

#statisticalcats gorillas #statisticalcats zoo blogging #zookeeper chad negative #mogo zoo negative #jameela's already crossed some baby milestones and the re-introduction process is going at a good pace despite the initial surrogate option #not working out #it kills me a little inside when i see fort worth zoo describe things as going slow #because they're REALLY not #they've done so much more in this amount of time than mogo zoo ever did #(also i think the surrogate mother mogo zoo chose for baby kaius also isn't showing the proper amount of interest to be a very good option #and they've already wasted SO MUCH time catering to the media and parading kaius around away from other gorillas #while fort worth zoo is still so much earlier in the process and realizing they're on the wrong path and changing plans #and actually doing what's best for jameela #and paying attention to her needs rather than using her as some pr prop #so anyway yeah no this baby's staying here #if she needs to go to another zoo she'll be going to another aza accredited zoo #not being sent overseas especially not to someone who is LESS qualified) #ok rant over gfyeiuhodi

Legitimately help why is my comment on SSO’s instagram doing numbers. If I knew it would get 90 likes and 4 people, two of whom are Elli and Helena, were gonna reply, I would have like. idk worded it better 😭

#anyway. I’m logging on tonight to redeem my tokens but I think I’ll be starting my sso break maybe a little earlier than planned… #this is just putting a bad taste in my mouth abt the entire game right now #Animal Crossing seems. FAR more appealing right now. #sso neg #z talks

What was Arin, Sora and Wyldfyre reaction to Oliver crystal king form? I can see Lloyd telling them to not be scared before giving Oliver tofu to calm him down

Ok, so first I feel the need to explain a bit of the timeline idea I had from rewatching part 1. So Oliver joins the team a little bit before they go to Imperium, and although he is initially told to stay at the monastery with Kai, he ignores that order and ends up following them anyway. He mainly ends up sticking with Lloyd for a bit until the part where Sora regroups with everyone and then she and Arin go off to save Riyu.

This is another point where Oliver is told to do one thing and then he ignores those orders to do his own thing as Lloyd tells him to stick with him and the others, but Oliver gets worried about Sora and Arin's safety and decides to go after them. He gets chased by some of the Imperium soldiers and this is when he goes into Outburst/Crystal King/Whatever I end up calling this form. Pretty much, he gets tired of these soldiers getting in his way so he goes a bit apeshit and just starts destroying anyone in his path. He eventually does arrive to help out Arin and Sora and they are both pretty terrified when they see him.

For added context, Arin grew up in Ninjago. He knows about the Crystal King and he knows all the stuff the Crystal King did. So, he is rightfully freaked out to see Oliver busting into the room, beating up bad guys relentlessly while looking EXACTLY like how he did when he was the Crystal King.

Sora doesn't have as much knowledge about the whole Crystal King stuff other than things Arin probably told her, but Oliver is still very intimidating. It doesn't help that she's dealing with the whiplash from first meeting him and realizing, "Oh, he's kind of just a goofball. A little weird, yeah, but he seems harmless." And then she sees him being a genuine threat to the enemies, she sees him fighting Ras and holding his own, and also seeing Arin's reaction to this whole thing would definitely make her freaked out.

Now eventually, Oliver does calm down and turns back to normal when he sees how freaked out his new friends are of him. He panics a little bit and tries to explain everything, but it's a stressful situation and they don't really have time since they need to get Riyu to safety and get back to the others, so they just put a pin in that for now.

After things calm down, Oliver pulls Arin and Sora to the side to explain some things and also to ask them not to tell Lloyd or the others about what happened because he's scared of what they'd think if they knew how ruthless he was against Imperium. They promise not to say anything and are pretty supportive of Oliver since they realize that he really does care about them and has a good heart.

And for a little bit of added context, Lloyd and the others haven't seen Oliver for a really long time. And even before the merge, he had been doing a great job at keeping his cool and trying to be good to make up for everything he did as the Crystal King, and the fight at Imperium was the first time Oliver had snapped like that in a long time while the ninja were around (or in this case, just Arin and Sora). He probably had some outbursts while on his own, but again, the ninja weren't there to see it. After Crystalized, Oliver puts a lot of pressure on himself to be good and to not fall into his evil nature, so even though he was ultimately using this other form for good, he's still scared that the others, especially Lloyd might not see it that way. Because his Outbursts, even when he was a little kid, has always been a bit of that evil nature coming out and making him violent.

Yeah that was a long explanation but TLDR, Arin and Sora were pretty freaked out, at this point in time Wyldfyre hasn't seen him in that form yet (and also pretty much just met him), and Lloyd and the other ninja don't even know about him being able to do that yet so they wouldn't have any reason to talk to Arin, Sora or Wyldfyre about it as of now

#asks #purified au #ninjago dragons rising spoilers #tagging as spoilers since i basically went over the plot #of the last few episodes so yeah #also not sure if you can tell but this was a scene i really enjoy thinking about #it's also the main reason i decided to revamp things and bring oliver into the story #earlier than i initially planned to #because i want him to be there for the fight in imperium and go apeshit on everyone #also just oliver's character after he ages up is so fun for me to think about #i am rotating him in my head constantly #not to say that his character pre crystalized isn't interesting because it is #but when he's a teenager there's so many different aspects of his character that get to be explored #that just weren't as relevant when he was little #i guess that's the best way to explain it #idk im rambling now so im just gonna end the tags here before it gets too long

Fixing my dialog up

Blurgh

#speculation nation #itnl shit #the struggle of writing a new character is conceptualizing their Voice #gotta settle those sliding scales down #i had formality scale too formal i think. hes kind of formal but in a pretentious way. not a true formality. #a little bit stilted in speech. trying to intimidate. trying to seem like hes got the upper hand always #talking down to people. like theyre lesser than him. #seemingly unflappable. at least at this point in the story. just a bastard man with a bastard plan. #im cross referencing manga dialog rn. i wrote originally with the 98 anime dub voice in mind #which has some Vibes but is less concrete #im going for concrete now. gotta finalize this fucking dialog. #once i smooth it out then i can go tie up the end of the scene #and Then i start the formal overall edit sweep for general coherency and consistency #as well as looking for any minor mistakes i couldve missed in earlier editing sweeps #aka. my usual process lol #i am just squinting angry bitch annoyance at this fuckin bastard man. trying to figure out how he talks #it's kind of difficult to figure out the minor differences due to Things and how that would actually go into effect #what they dont tell u about writing is that it is so very hard actually. god damn.
