Progress Report - 4/29/24

hello and happy birthday!

...is how this was going to start when I intended to post it this past Friday. But I spent my birthday as a side character in the hit 1996 movie Twister. By which I mean there was a really big tornadoful storm here, the likes of which I've never seen before. It's never a fun time when the words "historic" and "record-breaking" are involved.

But anyway! My birthday was a few days ago, and to celebrate I have a slightly belated gift for all of you!

A release date

That's right, we're back in business here in Speakerland 😁 I'm so relieved to finally return to some semblance of normalcy, and I'm very hopeful that I'll be able to get back to doing regular monthly updates again.

As for this one, the update will be going up on Patreon TONIGHT! I'll be uploading that momentarily, in fact. That means that, barring any strange game-breaking bugs or overly tangled code, the update will be out for public release on Tuesday, May 7th!

I just want to thank everyone one more time for your patience, and for all the messages of support 💙 it really does mean the world to me.

I think that's it for this time! I hope you all have a fantastic week with only mild-to-moderate tornadoes, and I'll see you all next week! 💙💙🌪️💙

#speaker game #progress update #y'all don't know how happy I am to type the words 'release date' #also for the record there were a DOZEN tornadoes on the ground in or around my city. half of them were EF-3 or bigger #but from what I've heard there were no deaths or serious injuries #my family is all fine :) my cats hated being in the basement and my daughter had to stay 2 hours late at school (everyone did)-- #--until the storm passed and it was safe for all the kids to go home. but we're very lucky that was the worst of it

how is a girl to sleep when she can’t stop obsessively looking at apartments 🙃

#we found 1 nice place and now my brain is in overdrive #we live in a city with a shit ton of colleges and we need to move august 1 #when literally everyone else is also moving #plus we have 3 cats and literally every place 1500 and under pet friendly are janky as hell #everything is scary dungeon basements and skinny stair cases in 100 year old buildings with no ac #wish us luck lmao

editing my tmagp spreadsheet and getting obsessed with the case codes. i KNOW they said they're unimportant and not hiding a whole big secret but they're also not random so they must follow SOME pattern and that pattern must be possible to find!! The format is always CAT- [one or two digits, only 1, 2 or 3] - [optional R] - [one or two letters, only A, B or C] - [the 'DPHW' or four digit code based on the type of case and content] - [dates]. and you might think that with 10 episodes and 11 cases, maybe some sort of connection would appear at least once. you would think that. wouldnt you

#'CAT' probably stands for category or at least thats what ive been assumimg #could also be a whole bunch of cats in the OIAR basement and they all get assigned a case each #tmagp #tmagp theory #the magnus protocol #tmagp s1 #especially the optional R is maddening. why is it sometimes RC and sometimes just C #most cases have had either 1 OR 2 OR 3 but case two got '23' #for lack of anything 4 or up i am reading that as 'two and three' instead of 'twenty-three' #because what are the odds that there are at least 23 different options but we're only getting ones in category 1‚ 2‚ 3 and 23

Mikebit AU

Some basic information! Mike is trans and goes by she/her as Lolbit. She was originally booted up by Gregory during SB while he was going through an 'under construction' area. She's immune to Vanny's virus (possesion benefit). Runs a new and improved area called 'Lolbit's Ultra Arcade!' and mostly relies on the animation animatronic code to play games/instruments

Most of my au takes place after SB, and does involve Gregory and Vannessa

#pinkidoodle doodles! #fnaf security breach #fnaf lolbit #mikebit au #I AM CRINGE I AM CRINGE BUT I AM FREEEEE #tbh this blog is mostly for me anyway lololol #mike afton #michael afton #fnaf art #fnaf sb #fnaf au #security breach au #five nights at freddy's security breach #five nights at freddy's #lolbit #messing around with peepa afton idea for this au. william is still in hell but maybe the virus is in the basement instead? #and vanny is basically rebuilding him? so still peepa but also i bit different #also vanny is NOT MIND CONTROLLED SHES JUST LIKE THAT. copy cat type ?? hmmmmmm!

uhm... 👉👈 Ray hitman AU? maybe? if you were up for it? pretty pretty please? 🙏

-For those who don't know I made a shitpost about Ray being a hitman because I looked up housing prices in Los Feliz (and how medical debt works) and SIR HOW THE HELL DO YOU AFFORD THAT HOUSE ON A PHOTOGRAPHER'S SALARY.

-It starts when one of the Petal Pushers has a very abusive, stalker ex. She had tried everything, but even with a restraining order, it isn't enough. Law enforcement just shrugs and suggests she moves (again) after 'someone' breaks into her house, ransacks it and kills her cat.

-It's not like Rose and Ray meant to kill him. But it's what happens. They manage to make it look like an accident. They never tell Violet, but deep down she knows.

-Somehow word gets around and they suddenly have a booming side hustle of taking out abusive spouses, partners, exes, stalkers, etc.

-Ray starts to take on the most of the wet work, with Rose doing the research and being his alibi.

-He's always been a great shot. He won Rose so many stuffed animals at carnival shooting games that they had to start donating them to shelters.

-They do have very strict rules on who they work with and who their targets are. Ray gets very good at stalking people with a giant long distance tele-lens. Both the people who hire them (to make sure they're telling the truth) and the targets.

-The prices they charge vary, and they even have perfected the scheme of 'take out life insurance on him and we get half of the pay out' for people who are in a bad financial situation. Those are trickier because he has to make the deaths look like an accident.

-Listen I'm not saying a few of the plants in Rose's Plant Wall in the studio are toxic. Of course they aren't, they have children running around in there.

-The ones under the grow-light in the attic though....

-He tells everyone he's a photographer but really, he only knows how to work the tele-lens. Rose jokes he could become the world's greatest paparazzi if he wanted to.

-Rarely does he get up close and personal with the targets, but he did made an exception once when 'My Ex Is An Abusive Scumbag number 87' really, really wanted Ray to know the client was right by going after his kid from his first marriage, because his favourite target (their client) wasn't there to take his rage out on.

-He starts hitting the gym after that because it was a liiiiittle too close for comfort.

-As spoken by @floating-in-the-blue: THAT'S WHY HE'S SO FIRM.

-They buy a big house and have money to send the kids to summer camp and fancy music school and the likes. When people ask he just smiles and shrugs and said he signed an NDA so he can't talk about most of his Big Photography Clients.

-Carlos and Julie think their dad is the biggest goober and he totally is. He forgets where he put his phone because he's too busy with the 700 other details of his job. He can tell if any of the parts of his work-toolbox have been moved even a millimeter.

-Just imagine Reggie like: wow Ray really does a lot of research about his photography clients, I wonder if it's like an engagement shoot or something.

-IT WAS NOT AN ENGAGEMENT SHOOT. There was a shooting, though.

-He's a little shell-shocked but still follows Ray down to where he meets the client to promise her it's done, and she cries and tells him thank you and mentions some of the awful things the guy has done or threatened to do, and then he gets it.

-They stage it to look like a break-in gone wrong. Reggie helps knock some shit over when they're distracted like: he's a ghost there are no finger prints. He stays after Ray leaves and watches the woman 'come home' and call the cops. She's either a really good actress, or the tears are just more tears of relief.

-He's really, really glad the abusive guy didn't come back as a ghost though, that would have been so awkward.

-Reggie decides that Julie can never, ever know.

#julie and the phantoms #not!fic #I wrote a thing #ray molina #rose molina #reggie peters #Reggie is the best little ghost accomplice #he's been a distraction from people who might have noticed Ray 'working' #he's calmed down pets and kept them out of the way #(nobody noticed the little cat toy floating in the living room while Ray finished the job in the bedroom after the guy 'OD'ed') #has he haunted a few people Ray's been researching so they have a few awful days before they die mysteriously? Perhaps #he's also alerted Ray about stuff that either meant the potential client was lying or all was not as it seemed #or if things were even worse than they seemed #did he spend the day curled up under a pile of Luke and Alex #because he had to subtley tell Ray there was a WOMAN CHAINED UP IN THE BASEMENT? #he doesn't wanna talk about it #hitman ray

These scenes go one by one.

Now, the walls. Drawings/posters in El's room and Mike's basement. Light bulb. Ginger cat/lion/tiger. Flowers (not only the real ones but also the weird flowers in Mike's basement and the dinosaur). Papa = father = pastor/priest/preacher (@aemiron-main I can't stop thinking about your theory about Brenner coming to Creels as a pastor).

#will is in the wall > the walls of mike's basement filled with his drawings but also other drawings/posters hint what actually happened #demogorgon's face looks like the flowers in mike's basement and its body reminds combination of a man and a dinosaur #the light bulb on the drawing with papa and behind lonnie (father=papa) like in the shed when will vanished #ginger cat on the drawing that also might be a toy lion/tiger el had in the plan and will had the same one in castle byers #lonnie = lion #i fucking hate it #i hate lonnie byers with all my soul #but i haven't added the screenshots with the grey-haired men that look like brenner in the background of airport scene #so i'm gonna reblog the post with these tomorrow #because there're weird stuff too #better to say AWKWARD stuff #manifestation theory #tw csa #byler #<- target audience

Any other animal hybrids in your lore?

not really. I just really enjoy designing cat people in any universe (I've got khajiit ocs in skyrim, cathar in swtor, a couple tabaxi in various d&d campaigns, etc) so I needed some for my ts4 world lol. the cat people aren't even actual hybrids in my lore, they're literally just a sapient species of cat that evolved into an evolutionary niche normally occupied by hominids in the same way hyenas evolved into one normally occupied by canids.

there are satyrs though, if that counts. I may very well make other animal-related addons, especially in relation to the digitigrade legs, but that's going to lean more into the fae side of things than what the cat people have going on. they're just kinda their own thing.

I kind of lean into the chaos inherent to playing the sims with all packs + some really excellent mods so my world is an ungodly casserole of scifi and fantasy and cyberpunk and whatever the hell's going on in strangerville (which isn't really what the ts4 devs intended to be going on in strangerville because the grocery-store-brand-stranger-things angle was the least interesting direction they could have gone with it). star wars aliens just kind of exist and nobody questions it. magical creatures are walking around. sometimes people are cyborgs. it's a fun time.

#also just. so much debauchery all the time in this world #because I play with ww and basemental #I could never really get into the suburban instagram family playstyle #most of the relationships happening in my save would be so fucked up in real life #but listen sometimes you're a vampire and you've got a thrall you rescued from vlad's basement #and he's got no memories from his previous life #and he works at the strip club you own and is your husband #and also he's a cat #some of them are wholesome and just really stupid though #I basically made mungojerrie and rumpleteazer and they're caster twins who live in a shipping crate in evergreen and cause problems #(they're also the owners of funky moe)

Sigurd: infamously deadweights and refuses to walk in heavy rain

Also Sigurd: will lay on the elevated dog bed in heavy rain, no I am not coming inside because that would = getting my feet wet

#dogblr #sigurd #105 pound kitty cat #to be fair he WILL walk in wet conditions given we are anywhere exciting enough #but still. weirdest dog #also we have not needed the vacuum to get him upstairs from the basement anymore #he does it when asked??? finally at 6 years old
