MY WIFE!! <3 imma put these under a cut because theres so many X

Ava:

2. Whats their favourite flavour? (spicy, sweet, sour, etc.)

She loves spicy and sweet. She can handle a decent amount of spice when it comes to food without even breaking a sweat.

10. Are they a morning person or a night owl?

A total night owl. Which causes her to sleep in late. Wake her up too early and shes a real grump.

12. Its a rainy day, what will they do all cooped up inside all day?

Ava is spending the entire day either in bed or on the couch. Her days inside are filled with movies, naps, and songwriting.

14. What do they smell like? Do they wear perfume or cologne?

She naturally has the scent of cigarettes cling to her, but she also smells like her vanilla body wash and vanilla body spray. Occasionally she also smells like weed.

23. Do they talk to themselves?

She doesn't talk to herself a lot but she does sing to herself! Especially when shes writing and trying to get a taste of how things sound. She'll softly sing to herself.

Kari:

7. Whats their favourite animal?

She loves hedgehogs.

9. What position does she like to sleep in?

She has a tendency to curl herself up on her side when she sleeps.

12. Its a rainy day, what will they do all cooped up inside all day?

She'll usually use the day the do little odds and ends around her apartment. Maybe put on some music or a movie. Her favourite though would be to spend the day in bed, reading and napping.

13. Do they have a favourite scent or smell?

Meat. Specifically beef while its being cooked.

14. What do they smell like? Do they wear perfume or cologne?

Shes always wearing perfume. Floral scents are her favourite.

32. Do they wear makeup? What kind?

She does! She loves always trying out new looks so she wears just about everything. Her go to look though is a light pink lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, and a pretty eyeshadow that matches her outfit.

Milo:

2. Whats their favourite flavour? (spicy, sweet, sour, etc.)

Milo tends to like sweet and savoury. He loves the combination of the two as well.

4. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snacks - which do they look forward to the most?

It depends on the day. During the week, dinner. They always feel more deserved after working all day. On the weekend, breakfast. He likes that he can take the time to make a good meal without being in a rush to get to work.

12. Its a rainy day, what will they do all cooped up inside all day?

He'll usually spend the day crashed on the couch and eating snacks while watching a movie. Sometimes short naps. If its a day hes feeling really energized he'll do some house work and small repairs hes been meaning to get to (being careful not to break his nose again).

45. What do they carry around with them during the day?

Cell phone, pack of cigarettes, lighter, sketchbook, pencil, wallet, gum, headphones.

I am so obsessed with your new fic. Even more excited about the shifting times and especially the fact that these are super important.

this line “ full of blood, over and over again; of the different ways she has died throughout the years” OH MY GOD, there’s so many things this could mean. reincarnation is my first thought? but maybe a curse or something supernatural.

sorry for the long message in ur asks, this sorta concept is my favourite 🙌

:DDDDDD I'M SO HAPPY AND EXCITED AS WELL !!!

Reincarnation it is! BUT! i'm not gonna give off any details yet because those are part of chapter 4 and 5 :DDDD

I love long messages!!!! I hope you like the next chapters and i hope to see you over here as well :DDD

who would be the one to spam the heckie out of the others notifs;

who would be the one booping random people;

and who would frigging opt-out asap?

:3c

Mimi- sends 10 boops to each person (was the first to boop spam Joe)

Matt- sends 3 each, except to his brother who gets 7

Tk- boops random people, makes sure he boops his brother constantly

Sora- only boops friends, (joins in on booping Joe like crazy after he keeps refusing to opt out)

Tai- boops random strangers 10 times each, (Joe gets like 20 from him)

Will there be an Edgewave Fest 2024? 👀 Just found out about last year's event and it looks like so much fun! But regardless if you decide to coordinate another community event or not, are you okay with other people using the concert lot you created for edits and such? I'd love to send my death metal band Sims there! Thank you so much! ❤🖤

YES. At least I plan to do so. I mentioned that if it will be successful I will try to do it every year, so I guess here we go. The lot was made for Edgewave, you can use the older one of course, the newer one will be made for this year :)

Raucht Skinny Norris?

Ich weiss, eine etwas unnötige Frage, doch es nimmt mich einfach wunder. Die Frage Bezieht sich auf die „normalen“ Die drei ???, als such auf die Die drei ??? Kids Geschichten.

Ja! Tatsächlich habe ich es lange für Fanon gehalten, weil ich mir nicht so richtig vorstellen konnte, dass das wirklich in einem Canon auftaucht, der ja doch Kinder als Zielgruppe hat. Aber wie üblich alle Kudos an Kari, denn in “Der namenlose Gegner” (Kapitel “Auf Leben und Tod”, Seitenzahl kann ich aus dem epub leider nicht genau rauslesen gerade) als Skinny und “Stan” zusammen im Wohnwagen sitzen, dreht Skinny sich aktiv eine Zigarette und beginnt dann auch, sie zu rauchen, bevor er sie Stan anbietet (was dann die Domino-Kette auslöst aus “Stan rennt raus weil ihm schlecht wird -> begegnet Peter und Justus -> Kampf -> knallt auf die Motorhaube eines Autos -> Gedächtnis kehrt zurück”).

Also, ja, “Der namenlose Gegner” zufolge raucht Skinny tatsächlich und dreht seine Zigaretten anscheinend auch selbst.

Zu den Kids-Folgen kann ich mich nicht äußern, würde aber mal darauf tippen, dass er es da (noch) nicht tut.

#submission #trivia #skinny norris #die drei fragezeichen #die drei ??? #ask #ja uh hallo i'm not dead just have too much real life stuff going on to keep this blog running #ich nehme mal an selber drehen ist kostengünstiger also ist das vermutlich up for debate wenn er gerade mal wieder geld hat #der namenlose gegner #kari erlhoff #kari coming through as usual #bin mal gespannt wie sich das in 'der blutrote kondor' darstellen wird

Heroism in TFATWS

Let's establish one thing which is that the show operates in a superhero trope, which means there are good guys and bad guys, and the good guys always win. This is not to say that characters are morally clean-cut between good/bad. The Flag Smashers acted out of good intentions; Walker did want to do good things when he took over the mantle. But that doesn't mean they aren't the bad guys in the story, because a person is not only judged by their intentions but also the means and the ends of those intentions.

Sam and Bucky are the heroes in the story, they beat the bad guys (the Flag Smashers) and saved the world. That's how the story ends. That's how all the superhero stories end.

But the show isn't quite that simple, not in the sense that it deals with moral greys, no. Rather, the show really fucks up the boundaries between good/bad, right/wrong, and by extension, the heroism of the show.

Let's say Karli has some vague cosmopolitan worldview, and let's say that's better than the state system so Sam is justified to sympathize with her cause, and sam is rightfully asking the governments to be better. What's the actual, feasible way to achieve Karli's vision? Nice speeches notwithstanding, Sam isn't offering a solution. States aren't going to abandon the system that made them a state just because some hero dressed in an American flag descends from the sky and tells them to. Forced displacement and/or re-settlement happen because the population distribution is screwed, especially in Western Europe where Karli is from. Those states simply do not have the capacity, spatially and financially, to accommodate all the people while the others would be faced with devastating labour shortages. Statecraft is not just about morals, some IR scholars would even argue it's never about morals, you have to do the rationalist calculation. (also sam's speech to the politicians is so.........wrong. it sounds like a 16-year-old wanna-be socialist who spends too much time on leftist tiktok)

Here's the thing, you can agree with the political ideology or not, because it's not about whether it's right or wrong. It's about Sam being a hero who comes from a heavy political background, who represents a set of values that is meant to transcend a single country, advocating that ideology whilst being completely naive about it.

Steve embodies a similar idealism that makes him a hero, but not a leader. He's a leader because he can lead, he assesses the situation, sets a goal, and gives out tasks to achieve that goal. In the show, Sam is not demonstrating effective leadership, although not entirely his fault.

When you have the 'hero' indiscriminatorily endorsing the villain's philosophy, it doesn't mean the hero is empathetic, it means the hero is fucking bullshit. What makes a hero isn't merely stopping bad guys, it's also offering a better alternative even when the villain kinda makes sense. Superheroes are supposed to offer moral lessons through their heroism, which often takes place as they defeat evil. Without that, they're just dudes stopping fights, not heroes fighting for causes. The only moral lesson Sam offers is 'hey maybe radicalization is bad', which is completely ignored by both Karli and Zemo.

Sam's sympathy towards Karli is even more absurd. Even if he agrees with her cause, she's an unrepentant killer. 'Don't call them terrorists.' really, Sam? What would you call them? Just bc the Soviets fought the N@zis doesn't mean they were the good guys.

Furthermore, we see the contrast between her and the other flag smashers. They were invisible victims while her body was gently carried by Sam as phones and cameras were recording. In a show where they tried to make sense of racism, the stark contrast between Karli and the rest of the group happens to be mostly PoC is kinda hilarious.

The problem isn't Sam. It's the terrible horrible writing. You can't take a Watsonian take when it's so obviously a Doylist problem. The show claims to be a lot of things it got wrong is just pathetic.

What about Bucky? His arc is pretty detached from the main storyline and he basically did nothing significant in the show so I don't even know what they want to convey about his heroism. He was literally just running around punching people (not even very good at it too) while being blamed for things he wasn't responsible for. He only told Karli that killing was bad. What a novel lesson. Again, there is nothing from the good guy.

Who is the hero then?

Zemo is the true anti-hero of the show. Throughout the show, Sam and Bucky - the good guys - oppose killing in general, but their method is proven ineffectual and in the end, all Flag Smashers are killed with a majority of them killed after they were lawfully arrested. The Flag Smashers were terrorists, they were the villains, therefore narratively, this makes Zemo's end goal - killing all supersoldiers, in this case, the Flag Smashers - right. His ideology - the desire to become superhuman cannot be separated from supremacist ideas; supersoldiers cannot be allowed to exist - is positively reflected in the story. His success inevitably justifies his ideology, which stands in contrast to both Sam and Karli. I'm not saying what he did was heroic, but from a storytelling perspective, Zemo is the 'hero' who ultimately eliminated the evil in this superhero trope.

The result is that Sam, the supposed hero of the show, has done nothing. He didn't stop the bad guys, he didn't offer an effective alternative to Karli (or Zemo) practically and ideologically, while Zemo did all that. What does it say about heroism and the idealism that comes with it? That it's nice to talk about but useless when a real battle takes place? That end does justify means? Because that's not what Cap trilogy conveys.

#if you don't agree you don't have to engage. just so you know. #sam wilson #tfatws #bucky barnes #baron zemo #the falcon and the winter soldier #the show is bullshit ok? #cosmopolitanism in itself is controversial #being proposed by captain AMERICA is outright ridiculous #ofc point a gun to ppl's head and force them to leave their home is bad #but it's also too simplistic #just to give her a justification #as long as states exist there will never be free flow of population #not even within the EU not when there's a global crisis #so I'm asking again #dear kari and spellman #how exactly do you propose that to happen? #zemo my man you have done nothing wrong in your entire life xxx #also sam saying 'i'm a black american wearing an amarican flag so i must know all about suffering and discrimination' is just laughable #do the showrunners know that other countries exist???? #bro have you lived in a country where you can be arrested for saying all that to a politician? #marvel needs to stay out of politics #for their own good #also I have classmates who were part of the UN peacekeeping troops. painting them as terrorists isn't doing anyone any favour

from the unofficial to the official question bringer: good job but do you know what would make them better? if their character trait was appearing under mysterious circumstances. in the memory of wounded warrior? there. standing on top of the cliff in hermit valley staring at the two Edens? there. t-posing behind all the elders while you watch vault cutscenes? there. join my skid oc in absolute mysteriousness and confusion

ok so questions. yea right that's what this is for. anyways we know that lark works at mcdonalds and does customer service. what about the others what are their jobs or is beefy just kinda Elon musk but 10000% better

Okay I’m glad we can cry about the vow au together, because if Thena’s going to keep remembering things when her sweet and precious Gil makes her a treat I might just never stop asking for it 😭 would love to read more, whatever you think comes next i’m happy to read!!!

"Sweetie?"

Thena looked up from her pillow. She looked particularly miserable, which made sense; she had never done well when sick. "Hm?"

Gil stepped into the guest room with his tray in hand. He nudged the door closed before setting it down on the dresser, "how are you feeling, hon?"

Thena blinked her glassy green eyes at him, "I'm sorry to make you take care of me like this."

Gil just shook his head. She had no memory of him nursing her back to health when a flu took her down hard after their first trip together. Her first cold with him as a couple when she kept insisting he couldn't see her with her runny nose and blotchy fever skin. Even when she had some bad periods that could make her growly.

She thought of herself as a real lioness, but he couldn't help but think of a plush, ragdoll cat who kept hissing at him.

He leaned forward, kissing her clammy forehead. "I think your fever's broken, at least. Did you get a little rest?"

Thena just nodded, pulling up her knees under the covers so he could sit on the edge of the bed. "Did you apologise to Ajak for me?"

"Hey, come on, people get sick, it happens," he chuckled as he patted her knees. "I have some time off to use, and she understands. They can do without me for a few days."

"I don't know how true that is," she muttered as he retrieved the tray. She straightened her legs again so he could stand it up over her lap. "Your customers will be missing out on your perfect croissants."

He grinned, offering her the mug of tea first. "And my seasalt vanilla fours?"

Thena's smile turned soft and a little shy. He was elated, though--ever since their first date and their kiss, he had been excited to see how they would continue to progress their relationship.

"Here," he whispered, adjusting the platter he had brought with him. "I made you some homemade chicken soup, nothing too heavy. I boiled the chicken in the broth, like Hainanese chicken rice. I gave you a little side of rice if you wanna dip it in the broth, but don't force yourself. Some cucumbers, but they're not pickled because I don't think it's good for you if you're sick--I guess I don't really know."

Thena tilted her head at him, her hair rustling against one of the many pillows propping her up. She kept insisting she looked awful, but he thought she looked as beautiful as always. "Thank you."

He sighed a little, trying not to make it obvious that he was mourning a time when this would be natural for them. But he adjusted the little cilantro flower he included on her napkin, "in sickness and in health, right?"

Thena's expression changed, but she gave him one of those gorgeous smiles that used all her teeth and picked up her spoon, "I suppose you're right."

Gil looked around the room, standing to pick up the extra blanket she had picked off in her sleep, as well as some pajama changes. It was hard to tell how messy she could be at times based on the polished appearance of his wife, but he liked picking up after her (most of the time).

"Gil?"

He looked back at her as he folded up the blanket. She had her big sad kitten eyes on again. "What's up?"

"You're not going to sit with me?"

His face split into a grin, even if she seemed a little sheepish about it. He knew it wasn't something she would ask easily, and obviously she had kind of just let it slip. But he all but dropped the blanket and threw himself onto the bed again. "Of course I am."

Thena settled against the pillows again after he gave her knee a squeeze on his way to lying on his side to face her. "Did you eat?"

"I grazed while I was cooking," he excused easily. He'd had some rice and a few pieces of chicken, mostly concerned with getting the flavours right for Thena's weakened state.

Thena eyed him, nudging the dish of rice he had specifically described as optional, "I won't eat it all anyway."

That was true, she tended to eat less in terms of the starch of any dish. Gil chuckled, "okay."

Placated by him picking up the rice and using the chopsticks, she continued using the spoon to sip the broth. She was delicate about it. It reminded him of the first time they'd gotten ramen together--she'd held her hair back while taking delicate little bites the whole time. He'd found it unbearably cute while he'd guzzled his back in minutes. Of course he ordered another bowl so she wouldn't have to eat alone.

Thena's eyes watered a little, but he squinted. Was it just the general sickness, was it her fever coming back, was there too much ginger? She sniffled, putting the spoon down. "I know this taste."

Ah, his sweet wife. He put the rice down gently before reaching for her hand. "I make it for you every time you're sick. You know how to make it too."

"I do?" she asked, staring at him as if he'd suggested she knew rocket science. "Me?"

"Yes, you," he reached out to tap her nose, but she leaned away from him. "All you do is add the aromatics to the pot with the whole chicken, even you can do it."

"Hm," she remarked quietly, staring at the meal she couldn't believe she would be capable of replicating.

"I made it for you the first time you were sick when we were dating," he continued, picking up some cucumber for himself. "I surprised you with it, showed up at your doorstep--very romantic, y'know."

She gave him a look, definitely knowing that she - in the story - hadn't appreciated being ambushed.

"You told me I shouldn't have and that you looked awful, but I couldn't have been more in love with you," he sighed, fluttering his lashes at her. She rolled her eyes, but he could see her smiling just a tiny little bit. "I delivered this dish and we hung out a little. You told me I would get sick, I said I wouldn't, and you were totally right, I got sick the next day."

She tilted her head the other way and raised her eyebrows at him, unimpressed to say the least.

He shrugged though, still grinning. "But I didn't want to admit it, so I told you I was healthy as a horse and couldn't make our date that week because of a work emergency."

"Deceitful," she murmured, pursing her lips at it.

"Come on, just a harmless little lie, y'know," he pursed his lips right back at her, even hitting her with his own sad puppy eyes.

She looked back into the bowl and took a loud sip. He would take that as him being forgiven. "I remember you coming over."

"Really?" he sat up straighter.

She nodded, taking another, slower, quieter sip. "No one had ever done that for me before. I was so astounded. And the food was so good it made me want to cry."

"No crying," he whispered, keeping his eye on her now, watching for tears. Not that it wasn't a chef's dream to have people cry from their food, but this was different.

"Kari called me to ask how I was doing," she smiled more at the memory as it came to her. They were coming more often and at greater length. It was nothing if not encouraging. "I told her that this very sweet guy I was seeing brought me some homemade chicken rice. She practically slapped her phone in her hurry to tell me to 'lock it down'."

Gil made a face, stroking the hair on his chin, "she's wise."

Thena shook her head at him again, but he could tell she was falling for his charm all over again. "I suppose I followed her advice, didn't I?"

So much came to mind, but Gil leaned forward to kiss her forehead again, which continued to feel cooler to the touch, "I'm lucky you did."

Thena leaned into his affection. She had gotten more used to it as they continued to explore their relationship, and he really had the feeling that she was looking for more sometimes. He would save that for a time when she wasn't ill.

"You keep eating," he encouraged, moving the rice closer to her again in hopes of tempting her.

"But-"

"I'll get a bowl for myself and come right back," he promised, sealing it with a wink and everything. His wife gave him another look of feigned exasperation, but she was already waiting for his return, preciously clutching her rice to eat with him.
