Zombie Ghost x Reader
Look at how adorable he is 🥰
Summary: After getting bitten by a zombie during the last outbreak, you and the team are clinging on to any hope you have of bringing back your friend.
Cw: Angst, death, gore.
A/n: I really do apologize for lack of updating as I've recently been quite a lot busier and mentally this feels like a brick load.
The zombie apocalypse. Unknown in origin and spreading around the globe in immeasurable numbers. Claiming half the popular by storm and turning them into spawn of the sucking, drooling, blood lusting bodies that dragged themselves across the earth. 141 was no stranger to dangerous tasks but while locked behind the safe haven of thick barbwire fences and giant floodlights on base to keep away from the spread, they were also charged with taking it down.
The daunting thought. Two of you sent out each week to kill as many as you could in a few days time while keeping regular in check hours with the others was grueling...
Ghost stopped abruptly along the treeline, forcing you to also stop, looking around at the chilly autumn landscape. You were lucky it was autumn, easier to see through the trees, the crunching of dried leaves and immediately give away to position. If only it didn't work for both parties.
You held your gun stiffly, unable to fight the urge to look back behind you several times. The air reeked of death and the smell was ungodly. You were close.
Ghost stepped forward again, shifting his crosshairs over toward the lake in the distance. Known to avoid water but not above sticking around it like fools. You both approached, surely this was your target end.
The whole thought made your spine tingle, and not in a good way. "Ghost- do you have a visual?" You whisper, turning again behind you just to be sure it is still barren.
"Negative." He replied, shifting his gun as he approached the end of the hill, staring down into the valley. A dead end.
He looked around before lowering his weapon. "Nothing."
"But there was a sighting around here." You look down at the lake where the water didn't stir and then around at the thick trees.
"I know, but I'm not-"
There was a crack, a branch above from a nearby tree giving way, it's limbs tearing like string as the weight came crashing down. Simon cursed as the branch hit him, sending him to the ground before feeling those cold dead hands grab onto his throat.
"Simon!!" You pointed your gun, watching the two struggle while trying to get a clear shot.
Ghost grunted, the zombie snarled at him, saliva flicking onto his face. Those milky, glazed eyes and the smell of the rotting flesh from its corpse. It leaned down, it's blunt teeth attempting to sink into him but Ghost managed to thrust it back.
You shot a bullet through its spine, hearing it screech and spill up blood from its mouth, animalistic hunger seeping in and it sunk its mouth into Ghost's forearm, biting and tearing into the flesh.
Ghost tries to get away and kick it off, managing to send it sprawling and losing its tight grip on him. And watching you put more than a fair share of bullets into it.
He panted, his arm throbbing. He winced under his breath, pulling up his sleeve and seeing the deep mark and the flesh torn from his skin from the separation. The way his veins were already bulging and searing black from the point of contact. Almost instantaneous...
"Were you hurt??" You move back over to him.
Ghost yanks down his sleeve
"No. I'm fine."
"Ghost-" You reach out for his arm and he tries to push you away, only aiding you in getting him with both hands, pulling his sleeve up to see the bite.
"Shit...." Your worst fear. You couldn't imagine yourself getting bitten, but one of your friends. Your lieutenant.
"We need to get you back home, fuck, how much time do we have??" You turned on your radio, comming in to Price for evac and a medical team.
Ghost watched you, feeling a sharp pain fill his head. He blinked, trying to ward it off, the whites of his eyes already invading his pupils and glazing over his irises. The venom spreading through his body and claiming him.
You looked at him, seeing him watching you and trying to hang on. "It'll be ok Simon." You said it more for yourself it felt. He gave a simple nod, sitting down against the tree nearby to try and stabilize himself.
The wait until evac and medical came was intense. You tried to keep Simon talking but it was clear his mind wasn't right. Half here half somewhere else, zoning in and out.
A new form of hunger already coiling in his stomach and taking over like a hand slashing through his intestines. Opening gashes and letting fluids pour out and burn the inside of him. That's what the hunger felt like. The wanting. The need.
To feast and sink his blunt teeth into the warm flesh of a body and tear it right from the screaming corpse.
He held his head, tapping his foot violently fast against the ground, trying to distract himself.
You watched him worriedly, looking back as medical came rushing over from where the helicopter had landed some hundred feet away.
"He needs help! Right now, he needs help!" You yell as they approach, one of the soldiers taking you aside while the other two stand Simon up.
"He's been bitten you need to help him!"
Ghost staggered, looking at you as the medical officers walked him back to the helicopter and helped him inside.
Your heart was racing. Would this be a goodbye?? What would happen?? Could they save him?? So many questions so little time.
You were loaded into a separate air unit while medical attended to Ghost.
Back on base they didn't let you see him either. Every minute wasted was a possibility to save Ghost and you knew that. But you couldn't help and see how Ghost struggled. His pale fists clenching, his once blue veins deep black, tinting the color of his skin.
How he struggled and fought the restraints of the medical bed before you were ushered in a different direction to go see your team.
It was quiet entering the living area, seeing Price sat there in his favorite chair, the rocker completely still while Johnny and Gaz occupied the couch, fidgety.
Gaz was the first to react, getting up and rushing to you. "Oh thank goodness. You had us worried mate- are you ok?" He inspected you, worry in his eyes until you squeezed his hand.
"I'm ok Gaz, I'm ok."
"So it's true then?? The report??" Johnny asked, still glued to the couch.
"About Ghost? Yes... he was bitten."
The reality all of you knew and yet weren't entirely willing to accept. You'd never managed to save anyone from the claws of the virus no matter how many small doses of formulas and stimulus syringes were produced all too quickly for them to properly work.
And if they did work, the constant need to be injecting it to keep the virus away from completely devouring the brain and the immune system was taxing.
You didn't sleep that night. Trying to imagine what Simon was feeling. Tossing and turning through every hour, thinking of Ghost. Your friend.
Maybe if you had helped faster? If you had shot faster or kicked the stupid thing instead of standing there like an idiot. All the what ifs drowned you and your worries for Ghost.
The next morning you were planning to stop by Simon's hospital bed to check on him and see if he was doing any better.
Before you could though, you were abruptly interrupted in the hallway by Johnny.
"Y/n, you have to come down to the containment room... it's not good."
"Containment...?" Your heart pounded. "Come on, let's go." You and Johnny rush down the hallway out past the medical rooms to a different room. One you had installed after the outbreaks to help keep any spawn in base contained.
Rushing into the room the containment unit was already surrounded by Gaz and Price.
You heard that snarl, the heavy breathing. Light footsteps that stalked the tank within.
"How is he??" You push in between them, seeing the unit. Simon... Simon was inside. But he didn't look like Simon. Not anymore.
The skin around his face was dark and bloodied, teeth bared and his eyes milky and cloudy.
He snarled when he saw you, he smelled you. Pounding on the unit and lashing out. His fists pounded on it, staring at you like a snack. Something he could eat whole. Swallow in one meal.
He mimicked those disgusting sounds of the horrors that roamed the wastes outside the base.
He slammed his body into the tank. Snarling and yelling as he threw himself, clawing and pounding on the windows.
"Simon stop!" You called, stepping back as he thrust himself at the window, slamming his fists into it.
Blood flicking over the glass and splattering with each hit.
"Simon you're hurting yourself!!" You cried, seeing Simon in a frenzy. Was this Simon?? This wasn't Simon. This wasn't your friend.
But you didn't know what you would do without Simon. You couldn't go on without him and right now he doesn't look like he is wants to be friends with you.
Simon was in so much pain. His stomach twisted and squelched inside his rotting body. It was so numb and yet he felt pain in every layer of flesh that was torn from his body.
He couldn't control when he bit that doctor, he couldn't control when he'd smashed the monitor and snapped his neck. He was hungry. He was so fucking hungry.
And now you were here, and that angry appetite only grew. He nearly salivated, he could smell your warm skin. He could see the fear and the hope in your eyes, but his hunger was in control. It's all he knew.
You continued to watch him throw himself at the tank, trying to calm him down, to get him to stop. To see any resemblance between your friend still in there. If there was anything.
"Simon please I need you to stop, stop Simon, please." You moved closer to the tank, placing your hand on it to try and calm him.
A moment of silence went by before he lunged again, screaming as his blunt, exposed teeth gnashed at the window where your palm was, making you jump back.
Price places his hand on your shoulder, watching Simon continue to try to get out. To fight the horrible hunger inside him.
"I'm sorry soldier..."
You quivered, seeing Simon like this broke you. Rushing from the room and back under your covers to cry. Simon, your best friend...
Why hadn't you just been faster. If you hadn't been so dumb and seen where that stupid zombie was perched this would have never happened. It felt like your fault. It was your fault.
Every day you went to see Simon, and every day it just felt worse. His anger slowly started to calm and you even took the occasional chance to try and feed him through one of the tubes attached to the tank.
Simon would eat it, but would watch you. Sometimes you knew he was looking at you because he wanted to eat you and others you weren't sure. It was a numb look. Blank. A look you all too often couldn't read.
You'd sit with him when he had stopped acting crazy. He would sit on the tank floor staring or would walk around, licking the tube into the tank to get any reminisce of the slop you had to feed him to help his hunger.
You would talk to him even if nothing was said back. It was like you were talking to a brick wall all over again.
It was your fault.
You did this to him.
He's hurting. He's in pain.
He's your best friend.
Hoard after hoard the team kept fighting, but you couldn't do this without Simon. You couldn't. And you couldn't fight knowing Simon was back on base locked up, going stir crazy and trying to get out. Fed anything from leftover meals if he was lucky...
It was another dark night. Sitting in your room while looking at one of the photos you had taken of Simon. One of the only photos you had where you caught his eyes in the light, seeing the glint and the faint sparkle that would travel back and forth. The corners of his eyes creasing from his hidden smile.
You left your bed, tucking your blanket around your shoulders with the photo in hand. You wandered down past the medical room and to the containment unit.
Flicking on the dimmer lights you saw Simon sitting at the back of his tank, eyes immediately on you when you enter.
"Hey buddy..." you whisper, coming over to the tank.
Simon snarls lowly, staring at you and slowly standing when you placed your hand on the tank. "I'm sorry Simon... I'm truly sorry..."
He huffed through his nose, coming over to the tank. He didn't bang on it, he didn't attempt to jump. He watched you. In the quietness, his glazed over eyes showing no signs of the person you once knew.
But then, for a moment, something happened. His hand came up, touching the glass over your palm from the other side. Seeming content.
You looked in at him, making your final decision. "I can't go on without you Simon. I just don't think I can watch you be kept in here. Not when I know they'll kill you soon."
Simon continues to silently watch you. You move away from the tank and over to the console in the corner, granting access to the security latch on the unit.
You both heard the hiss and the click. Simon's eyes watching you with that hollow, hungry desire. He pressed his hand to the glass, watching it move and shift open, letting him out into the air.
He smelled of death and rotting flesh. Sounds gurgled up in his throat, and he lunged at you. You gasp, your natural instinct to fight until his nails sunk into your shoulders.
You looked up at him as he sunk his teeth into your cheek, making you cry as he bit down and tore through the flesh and tendon, liquid squelching and blood splattering across the walls.
Tears swelled in your eyes as he chewed down your flesh and gnashed his teeth into the side of your face, pulling and tearing the tissue away from the bone and devouring you.
You cried, the pain making you fight and struggle against him as you went down to the ground. He straddled you, moving down your body, nails tearing at your collar bones and down your chest, completely tearing open your clothes and drawing blood from every inch of your skin.
That animalistic hunger inside him fed off the warm delicious taste of your skin.
"Simon-" You cried, knowing your fate was sealed. He continued to tear into your body. Snarling and hissing as blood spilled. He tore into your chest, making you scream as he broke through your ribcage and made for your heart, ripping it right out of your chest.
You choked, clawing for a last reminisce of life. Trying to cling on, to do anything. Your mind went blank and you succumb to the torture. Simon continues to eat, his hunger having been fed little by little by the slop from that tube.
The taste of your warm skin as it traveled down his raw throat was unlike anything he knew. It only grew that hunger inside him, his eyes glazing over and clouding thicker as the damage became beyond irreversible.
Pulling apart inch by inch of you and biting in to it, leaving you a bloody mess.
Blood marred all down his chin, making his face look black from the thickness of the blood. His hands covered and his nails dripping.
He could smell more of it. He snarled, getting up and slipping through the open door and down the hallway.
Growling and snarling as he went, stopping by the first door where he smelled a mix of human flesh with gunpowder and spice.
His stomach twisted in excitement as he pushes the door in, seeing the peaceful form that lay there. He moved, jumping on the bed and tearing into his once friend in his sleep.
The terrified screams of panic and pain as he tried to fight Simon off, grabbing his journal and trying hit him in the head in a desperate attempt to fight.
Simon twisted his head away, tearing into his throat and ripping his vocal chords out with the chunk of flesh, blood splattering everywhere.
Two down. Two to go.
Yes, this is immediately what I thought of when I first saw him so... yeah. It's unedited and I wrote it between taking naps so apologies if the gorification be lacking.

No question that Turkey has dominated the onslaught of livestream feeds, mainly from Bigo Live!, that have been uploaded on to YouTube webpages. La.Nata, here, from Germany is one of the stars!
NEW SERIES! - *
VIDEO OF THE MONTH (HONORABLE MENTION) | NO. 2 IN THE SERIES!
For January 2024
★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ | Four-and-a-Half "Stars"
From vs120shound staff | ★★★★★ (3 total: L)
Of the 70 videos on the "Joe" webpage on YouTube, 3 of the 4 most popular posts feature La.Nata!
La.Nata: Piercing brown eyes adds to her smoking style and her alllure!
* - Note below
It's kind of exciting to assess all the possibilities before La.Nata as she has just begun her voyage through the Greater SF World Community scene! Beautiful girl but inconsistent on the smoking end, with some "spit out" exhales at the tail end of a would-be stream. And yet a fair share of some exhales with shape, body and power. She emerged at some point in the autumn ⏤ closer to December than to September. The "Joe" webpage's debut post between November 30 and December 31 showcased La.Nata. Her three videos have collected approximately 37,5000 views in total. Different kind of scale in response to videos posted on to YT as contrasted to/with Smoking Fetish Kingdom and tumblr!
… well, we are going to find out just how serious La.Nata is with her cigarette-smoking habit. She might have already retired or is in semi-retired status. And we'll see how much vanity is ingrained into her persona as well. La.Nata seeks the spotlight, or she does not. Cannot tell which at this point. And most of these BHYSWs (Beautiful Hot, Young Smoking Women) on YouTube are not responsible for posting their own videos on to YT, so she could be the most humble woman ever captured smoking on video! Or she might not be as well. She is simply gorgeous, an 8.5-9.0 on the traditional Bo Derek "1 to 10" scale. We'd love to see more YouTube/"Joe" posts of her in the future. Kind of doubt that she's a Cigarette Slut!
THE MEDIA!

Our Centerpiece video of La.Nata is No. 3 in the three-part series, the most recently released/published on YouTube!
*- Note: The Video of The Week series has been replaced by The Video of The Month series effective in late-December 2023!
REVISION/UPDATE: We were quite pleased with the content we brought to you in our 20 Video of The Week posts, 10 each for the Hall of Fame division and the Honorable Mention division. We were quite displeased with the difficulty of bringing them to you on a regular and timely basis. We failed at that. The series began on August 31, 2023, with the rollout of each on that day. Seventeen weeks later we had carried on with only 9 other installments of Hall of Fame and Honorable Mention division videos. That simply was not frequent enough ⏤ ostensibly we missed out on 7 series installments ⏤ and we had acknowledged the problem and discussed one-on-one and in small groups but to no avail. No solution until finally admitting our shortcoming and cutting the losses. But the series does not complete end; it morphs into Videos of The Month in which we will aim for two installments every 30-31 days depending. Might call them, hypothetically, "Video of The Month | Hall of Fame division A" or "Video of The Month | Honorable Mention division II." We'll sort it out. This is a much more manageable load with one (or two) a month in each division. Eight a month was viable for several weeks before it became too burdensome and we fell off the intended production pace, where we were stuck since late-October/early-November. We are comfortable in our decision. Not ideal to be in this spot ⏤ of our own making ⏤ and perhaps not an elegant solution. Yet the net result is the same (special memorable, quality content still being provided) but without the volume that we found unsustainable. Let's see how it unfolds. We are optimistic. -- the vs120shound network team of Staff and Administrators Saturday, December 30, 2023 ⏤ 10:57 p.m. EST

YourHoesHorses Immersive Shader Presets Winter Update!
Tumblr media
You can find the files here!
More example pictures and news about the update below!
Hello!!!! I'm so excited to finally be able to make the winter shaders!!! They are still always a little bit of a work in progress, but I'm pretty happy with how they are so far! I'm most likely going to keep working the Aurora and Moonless night - Aurora feels a little too flat for me and just cannot settle one the settings I want for Moonless night, so keep a look out for updates if you get those two!
Besides the new winter presets, I've done my "final" touches to the autumn presets for now. I know it's a little late to post an update for them, but ah well. Additionally, I've learned a little bit more on better load orders, so I might go back on some of these, rearrange some things and them post them again. Anywho, here's how these shaders are looking!

I'm out of ideas on how to fix this error.
Tumblr media
I've had this object error pop up once every sim day in every lot, since at least July 2022. What I tried:
I ran What Caused This with this error log, all the results that came up were "secondary possible", which is the least likely category to be the culprit. I loaded the game with all these files alone and I could not replicate the error.
I ran HCDU Plus and removed every mod that affected the Function - Main BHAV, as well as others that were not meant to be used together. The error persisted.
I removed every weather mod, like Immersive rain and SophieDavid's lot-based weather controls. The error persisted.
I sorted mods by creation date to try and find any mods that were installed around July 2022. Removed any mods around that date. Still, the error persisted.
When the error pops up, I always hit reset. I don't even know if the error does anything after that. I noticed that in late autumn, sims going outside will sometimes have high temperature seemingly for no reason, but I can't be sure this is related to it.
My only option left is doing to 50/50 method, which is a monumental task when my mods folder alone takes up 400 MB of disk space, with 2735 files.
So, before I try that, has anyone experienced this specific error before and knows what could cause it? Or is there any other solution I can try besides 50/50?
UPDATE
Yesterday, before going to bed, I deleted a bunch more mods that were conflicting, and while testing today, the errors stopped. But of course, I was disorganized and tired and I don't know which mod did it. I'm going to have to organize my mods more carefully.

Important things we learned from Will’s Instagram live tonight:
(this is a super long post, and very rambling, so I’ve hidden it under the cut because it got quite out of hand quite fast)
Nearly of Creeper wear Crocs now
Will’s Winter attire is Crocs and fur-lined leggings
Will is excited about making stew (but doesn’t seem to know how)
He referred to a sprig of thyme/rosemary as a “tree”, and I think that’s adorable
There’s “lots to be announced” for Creeper next year: especially smaller shows and playing places they haven’t played before
Will thinks “plethora” is a nice word (he’s right)
He has fan art up on the fridge (proud Dad vibes)
He’s focusing on Creeper and Sanguivore right now, so there’s no update on Salem
Jake is “like a little Labrador; a wonderful, brilliant man”. He also called Jake an integral part of the Creeper family, which he totally is; we love Jake!
We’re hopefully getting more Darcia!
Will has a load of Planet Hollywood merch: a glass, a serving plate, and more
The chat repeatedly had to remind Will to stir the stew
Will left a wooden spoon in the stew for hours, which is…questionable cooking
The spoon is now also bent
The chat told him when to put the dumplings in the stew
Creeper Flu is a thing
Will admitted he’s not great at cooking, which at this point…I don’t think anyone was surprised.
Will called us all weird (affectionate), which…yeah, fair
Will says he’s never been very good at screaming, but he “can shout really loud”
New York in the next year definitely maybe?
The band want an actual whip for Hannah in Lovers Led Astray when they play live
Will found Michelle Phifer whipping the the heads off of mannequins as Catwoman sexy and impressive - he’s right on both counts
Fretting about the dumplings
“Hello Uber Driver in Australia”
Will has Autumn the mini Squishmallow from the McDonalds Happy Meals that he picked up on tour.

Summer - TBA (Kofi or if I get bored)
I'll update the links once everything is up!
Notes from Twitter
(Selected notes from my Twitter.)
This takes place after the events of the game. Susie, Noelle, Kris and Berdly have all started to change, either an obvious way or not. Change takes time. Sometimes you regress. Or sometimes you remain at a certain stage and that's fine for you. Whatever, that's life.
Not pictured: whenever they all had a fight
I started drawing the image set (4 images) 2 weeks before it was finished, so I didn't get to add the other HomeTown kids as cameos (Jock in Summer, Catti & Tem in Spring, MK and Snowy in Winter). I wanted more scenarios but I just blew up what I had to fill up the canvas more. But the hands in the original image block out so much anyway.
Scenario Descriptions
As some people have noticed, each Lightner has a season assigned to them.
Winter - Noelle
Spring - Susie
Summer - Berdly
Autumn - Kris
I chose Winter for Noelle. I like to imagine she can handle the cold. In the game it says she stands in front of the fridge in Sans' shop often, and she probably likes cool air. I took that at face value. But, in the game, it's Autumn and she wears a sweater-vest like thing. And some people said she might be staring at the fridge in Sans' shop because they print Missing Children on milk cartons (Dess).
At the very least Noelle seems to like the pretty snow things in the Cyber World. It's fun to imagine things about characters, isn't it? It also makes writing very tough.
Anyway, Noelle decided for her part of the trip, she wanted to see a snow festival somewhere outside of HomeTown. Kris and Berdly suggested snowboarding or skiing. Susie agreed to snowboarding (because it's close to Skateboarding...?). I didn't really get to draw a snow festival in the end... oops.
Extra scenarios I wanted to draw:
Ice Sculpture festival. Noelle sees some creatures and thinks about how some of the more artsy sculptures remind her of Cat Petterz 2. There is a Drinks Bar made of ice.
Snowball fight. Susie is defeated immediately purely due to having a larger hitbox. Kris is the smallest and good at dodging (or are they just good at deflecting?). Berdly comes up a bunch of mid-tier tactics, all of them fail but the last one works so he considers himself a winner anyway. Also Snowy and Monster Kid are here too. Snowy's head is a snowflake shape, each 'leaf' is loaded with a snowball each, and they are used like a chain gun/snowball machine gun like RATATATATATA...
Ice skating. Noelle is tries to teach Susie. Kris watches from afar while talking with Monster Kid and Snowy.
Quiet moments in the snow with friends watching the sunset. Just as a reminder I don't ship anything (I only explore friendships). So all the relationships/crushes that are in the game as of Chapter 2 are still intact, I haven't changed that part.
Tumblr media
Photo 1
Do you think Susie and Berdly will become better 'friends' after Deltarune? At least in the timeline where you don't Kill Berdly, anyway. I think they could have some good slapstick moments. Honestly anything involving Berdly is great, unless you hate Berdly.
Anyway in the first photo, Kris, Susie and Berdly have decided to snowboard/ski down from the top of the mountain. Noelle is on a break. Susie is impressed by the scenery. She's with her friends, she's getting better at snow boarding. She's happy. They take a break together to stare at the mountains as the snow falls and melts on their noses. They don't mind the cold.
Kris takes the photo to preserve the moment for Susie. Also because if Berdly and Susie ever have a fight they can all stare at this photo together and remember the good times.
Photo 2
The gang reunite with Noelle at the bottom of the mountain. It was Noelle's idea to take the photo. Noelle also says she 'wants more photos with "everyone else"'. That doesn't happen, because if you look at the background, Berdly has fallen on his arse. They wait for him to travel down the mountainside, just to tell him they caught his epic fall on film.
The stickers on the snowboards don't mean anything - it is rental gear, the rental shop has a lot of duplicates of the same design. The stickers are just for the customers to tell them apart from other customers with the same design... I wanted to put funny numbers like 420...

On another trip down the mountain. It's just a cool shot of Kris. Berdly's about to stack it again. I'm sure Berdly isn't that bad at sports, but he's just not going well today. Despite the protective gear and snow goggles, you'll notice something about his glasses later.
Do you think Susie and Noelle also stacked it on this hill? Do you think Susie kept asking everyone to go up the mountain "one more time" so she could ace this hill? How do you think Berdly felt about having a bad day with Sports?
Clothes Part 1
For the clothes, Kris and Susie are wearing rentals. Originally they were both going to be wearing red. But I thought Kris wearing blue like their Dark World outfit was nice. I was thinking of giving Kris a custom outfit but I thought "Kris has some money after Deltarune but not THAT much money, so I'll give them a rental outfit". Actually none of these kids should have the money for 4 trips in a single year, OR a sabbatical, but I decided to stop thinking about that because I just want to see blorbos enjoying themselves.
Also I had to give SOMEONE overalls, so Berdly gets his custom bought overalls with a green neck warmer. Even though snowboarding looks cooler, he chooses to ski this trip. Noelle is also skiing. They're the
Super-Elegant Skiing Duo of HomeTown High
Tumblr media
Photo 4 & Photo 5
Berdly's glasses are botched. I wonder what happened? Don't you think it's a good metaphor for something? You should think about what it means to you, because I can't do that for you.
Anyway, what's Kris doing? Sometimes you banter with Berdly, sometimes you help him build his dream body in a snowman. Originally the beak was going to be broken, and the whole statue was botched, with Kris snickering at Berdly.
But I decided Kris is so tired from snowboarding the previous day that they've decided to just chill out the day this photo was taken.
Susie snuck away past the trees. She misses Lancer. Kris and Noelle find her and insist on take a photo next to her masterpiece.
Photo 6
Noelle - food pic! It's not a very interesting food item, though. Some gimmicky food cart selling shaved ice with dark colored sprinkles that look like the hairy mountain behind them.
It's actually seaweed sprinkles. Kris eats moss in the Dark World, but they're not sure how they feel about seaweed on shaved ice. There's other syrup flavors in the cup too. It just tastes like an average savory-flavored sweet.
Susie was starting to feel cold, so Noelle and Kris gave her a beanie. But Susie loses the beanie somehow, shortly afterward. Susie, running low on cash, asks if she can share with Berdly. Once purchased, Noelle sees them sharing the shaved ice and wishes she offered to share first.Kris regrets buying a whole serving at all.
Clothes Part 2
Berdly: He gets surprisingly neutral clothes. Also I thought earmuffs would match the ear things he has in the Dark World. Also a bird needing earmuffs but the human not wearing them is hilarious to me.
Kris: I like it when people paint Kris' Dark World scarf as a pink scarf with purple shading, or vice-versa. But it wasn't obvious enough so I just went for the other fandom interpretation of "stripy scarf". By the way, I think it would be REALLY COOL if the scarf was actually a sweater. Like, when you take off the sweater but you didn't actually take it off completely, so it's just stuck around your neck. Anyway that's why Kris has a Stripy scarf and grey mitts. I also took some time to think about what would look 'gender'. But I'm no good at fashion. I'm going f*cking insane over Kris Dreemurr.
Susie is wearing the same pants here, but she has thermal wear underneath. She just gets the cheapest warmest jacket possible (the type that old people all seem to wear).
Noelle (see below): I'll talk about it more in the Spring Anniversary image, but I have a hard time thinking about what kind of clothes Noelle would pick. Like, in the game, is she wearing clothes that her mom picked for her? Anyway she's wearing a skirt and turtleneck here. She wears the same skirt in Spring.
Overall I wanted to give them all neutral/normal looking clothing.
Tumblr media
Photo 7 & Photo 8
Last part of the trip. They have dinner at some place that gets lots of pictures and reviews on social media. Also, I was going to draw them drinking mulled wine. I have always heard of stories of people going on ski trips and drinking mulled wine at a random house. I've never drunken mulled wine. But the imagery of being red faced and merry in the snow seems very warm to me.
I decided not to draw them drinking alcohol because if it turns out any of these Lightners have bad experiences/memories of it, I'd be pretty sad... By the way, in Australia you can legally start to drink alcohol at 18. Please consume alcohol safely. Anyway, now the Lightners are just waiting for food in this picture
The cat and rabbit in the background are dating.
Photo 9 (not pictured in above image, scroll to top)
The main picture is the last photo of the trip. Noelle's expression seems flustered, doesn't it? Originally Noelle was going to be tipsy and "OH SUSIE YOU CAN'T LET MY MOM SEE THIS PHOTO" but I changed my mind with the alcohol. Now she's happy Susie's taking a photo, but also been caught off-guard. Okay but she's holding a cup, she could totally be having a sippy. The reality is that I drew this picture but I still don't know. I'll let you decide.
By the way, just to let you know, Berdly is doing most of the driving in these trips. Kris can drive a little but isn't able to drive internationally yet. I don't know about Susie and Noelle (I don't think Susie could have afforded the lessons, but I do like the idea of Susie driving Kris around in college due to REASONS). If it turns out I'm totally wrong... whatever, I don't care, it's not shown in these images anyway so you can assume they took public transport.
I think the most "drama" is in the Spring set of images.
Art Notes
First off let's look at the thumbnails.
Tumblr media
My handwriting is passable here. Usually it looks like squiggles. The main ideas are pretty much the same, but you can see that I changed Susie's hairstyle back to her default hair style. Also Kris was originally laughing at Berdly's broken snowman.
Most of these thumbnails (background photos) were drawn in Cartoon/comic style - to save time... more on that later.
Row 1 (see below): For the main image, I drew 2-3 passes (Thumbnail, rough sketch, maybe extra for clothes, then line art). Berdly looked awful at first so I redrew him a few times. Actually I'm not so happy with Susie's snoot but since this was the first canvas, I was worried about time and didn't want to deal with her snoot blocking out Noelle, and I wanted Susie's face to still be in frame... so I left it.
Tumblr media
Row 2: Left - without color filters, Right - with filters. (It might not look that different... oops)
Since I use grisaille, it's kind of like shading with black... nothing wrong with that if you want that look, but if I want the colors to pop more, I add a gradient map...
Tumblr media
Row 3: Nothing special. Just two layers of gradient maps... I literally just downloaded whatever the popular gradient map packs were, flicked through a bunch and picked what I liked. The first one is set to overlay, the second one the instructions in Japanese roughly says "Set this gradient map to ~20% Color" so that's why I've set the layer to those settings.
Row 4: Left most Susie - this is the original painted image with the color gradient maps, before Tone Curve and Level Correction.
I wanted to imitate the coloring in photos. The polaroid photos I've seen, the first thing I think of is "Flash was used so all the highlights are blown out", and that the black shadow areas are never #FFFFFF amount of dark... so that's why, in the Tone Curve, I lifted the leftmost (axis at 0) up a notch. Anyway you can see the effect is lower contrast by a bit. Instead of using a Tone Curve you can also just use some layer effects (e.g., Exclusion layer blend mode or whatever). It doesn't really matter just do whatever you feel like doing, I can't stop you.
The next step I added Level correction (just to play around, honestly). Actually this added back some contrast. Whatever, I just did what looked nice...
Tumblr media
Row 5: This is the layer composition.
Characters (By the way Berdly looks great without glasses).
Lights (1 layer of boxes of random colors, then I duplicated, blurred, and set to glow/light blend modes)
Trees with snow clumps
Smog (used some smoke/cloud brush set for this)
Main background flats
When I do paintings like this, the characters are always painted in grisaille. I have a few posts with WIPs on this blog showing grisaille stuff, but anyway I'll talk about it in the Spring Anniversary image details. If you want to see that, and also what the hell is going on in the Spring photos, you can donate to my Kofi to reach the goal.......
A nice thing to note about the Anniversary artwork as a whole is that the characters are mostly close to the camera, so I can just wing the background (i.e., I don't have to draw buildings or architecture TOO detailed). This is great because I was in a rush!
Tumblr media
For the remaining images, I knew they were going to be blurred. So I just drew the characters in cartoon comic style that I use. This means for the characters I can just grab the palette I already have (don't have to spend any time picking colors).
The backgrounds were still (roughly) painted.
Row 6: Some images without the filters and layer effects. You can see the characters don't fit well into the background without them...!
Row 7 (Left): Polaroid layers
Polaroid Frame
Multiply - shadow layer of the Polaroid frame
Background - I just winged this
Set - Lineart and flats.
Multiply layer - shadows for the Set above. I have 2 shadow colors which are just light and dark purple (you can see my palette in Row 6).
Row 7 (Right): Photo layers - not much to say here, same as previous, just a more background oriented photo...
Details I really wanted to add but skipped them due to time shortage:
Extra lighting (highlights)
Blurring items (e.g., far away background images, whatever is 'not in focus, and so on...)
Drawing other Lightner characters into the scenarios!
MORE FOOD PICTURES!
Fixing wonky anatomy (even the 'chibi' anatomy)
I think I wrote too much. If you got this far, thanks for reading so much :)
Also if anything I make (comics, etc) makes you happy feel free to tip me/buy me a coffee 😊

A Garden Legacy: With Some Updates
Tumblr media
With the new expansion I am SO stoked to play, and have put a lot of thought into how I can get the most out of the new family dynamics. I've had the most success with @cowplant-pizza's Garden Legacy but wanted to update some things to make the challenge more challenging, and by incorporating features from newer expansions (the Version 2 challenge was made for Seasons). I've started game play, and am really enjoying my sim, and the challenges I've set for myself, and wanted to post an introduction, as well as my rules, updates, etc., before I start posting gameplay.
Rules
I really like the original rules, so the only thing I updated is the money cheats. I used Free Real Estate to purchase the house in Brindleton Bay to get things going.
I doubt my sims will also live on the same lot, so that is one rule that I may break along the way.
Other Changes
I've set lifespan to longest so that I have plenty of time for the updated parts of the challenge.
Since the main theme is gardening, I've set seasons to the longest option as well.
I also installed @LilSimsie's Save File to add a new look to my game, and bring in new families, houses, etc., as anytime I think I'll change out the whole world, I get overwhelmed and end up starting a new save.
When I first loaded the game, I took the opportunity to set up some holidays throughout the year to keep me interested, as well as hopefully take advantage of more elements of gameplay. My added holidays are listed below.
When viewing my challenge progress page, tasks I added for myself will be highlighted.
Added Holidays
Summer
Wet N Wild - BBQ, Drinking, Fireworks, Water Fun
Summer Vacation - Three Days, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, encourages travel. -- Day One - Go on vacation or travel, Day Two - BBQ, Water Fun, Day Three - Vacation or travel (home), clean (like packing, getting ready to leave).
So Long Summer - BBQ, Water Fun, Invite Guests
Autumn
Neighborhood BBQ - BBQ, drinking, fire, invite guests, tell stories
Trick or Treat - Costumes, spooky spirit, decorate, wear costumes, trick or treat
Winter
Game Night - Invite guests, games
Winterfest Eve - Festive lighting, festive spirit, attend ceremony
Polar Bear Plunge - Polar bear plunge, streaking, water fun
Spring
Flower Fest - Flower bunny, egg hunt, garden, clean
Earth Day - Gardening & Thankful spirit
Spring Break - Three Days, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, encourages travel -- Day One - Go on vacation or travel, Day Two - BBQ, Games, Day Three - Vacation or travel (home), clean (like packing, getting ready to leave)

car update
ok so i bought a subaru forester. now that i've bought one i see them everywhere. everyone is driving these cars.
i managed to find one that didn't have a power liftgate. which means it also, for some reason, doesn't have rear cross traffic alerts. but like. i never had those before so i don't super miss them. i just think it's wild that they bundled that with such an obnoxious feature.
It also has lane departure warnings and there's a super easy button you press to turn them off except it's not a physical toggle button so you press it and can't tell if it worked or not, and every time you turn the car off it re-sets to be on, so you don't realize the super distracting warning you hate is on until it goes off and super distracts you a lot and then in the midst of a tricky driving situation you're mashing the button to turn it off only you can't look so you're not sure if you missed it so you press it again and then it goes off later and you think you must've hit it twice so the next time you risk death to look at it and very carefully press it just once so it's definitely off this time, and then it goes off again later anyway, and anyway you give up on using the button and just grit your teeth because the thing is constantly beeping at you because it can't see the lane edges and freaks out. it is a useless feature, i have never once strayed from a lane and not known i was doing it, and if I were then a beep would not fix this. i want to find the wire that controls it and CUT IT but you of course cannot do that.
Anyway. As things go, not so bad really. I've been preoccupied with getting organizers and things and setting up the car interior to be nice, because I know from experience that one trip across the state where I'm having to half-unload and store things in there and shift everything out to make room for a thing and then load my life back into it, will mean that everything in the car is chaos and then I can't find the emergency equipment I know I have. I had a folding shovel in the Crosstrek, I bought it when the car was new, and was storing it in the rear driver's side footwell, and then when I needed it, well there was so much random bullshit in that car that I couldn't find it, and in fact I never found it, I sold the car without ever having found that folding shovel. So I bought a new one for this car, and I am sewing a seat-back organizer for the driver's seat, into which all of those things will go and then I will never remove them because I will not remove that seat back organizer because even if I have unexpected passengers or cargo surely a seat back organizer can be left in place.
This is my hope, anyway. We'll see. I'm finding myself without time to actually finish sewing the thing because shit keeps coming up. I thought it would take longer to get the car but no it just took up all of two days, and I have so much else to do around my house that I don't have time for anything else, so it's just as well I'd arranged to be off work this week too because I haven't had a moment to myself yet and probably won't at this rate but hopefully I can at least get my car set up.
I got the Most Boring Color; here's hoping I don't lose my nerve and do manage to find some artwork to have vinyl-wrapped onto the hood.
Suggestions welcome. Who could I commission, to do a fantasy-airbrush-style piece in wild colors? I want like a cool dragon or something, I really don't know beyond that. Probably the dealership will tell me not to because of the automatic lane-sensing cameras and things but like if they don't work maybe it will be time to cut the fucking wires so they stop beeping at me because they don't know where the lane markings are. IDK.
we'll see if that link fuckn worked or what
yeah for some reason the thing i'm most excited about is the moon roof, which is likely going to be the thing that breaks and makes this car terrible, but at the moment in the fading glory of autumn i just love it so much for some reason.
2 things remain: 1) I asked them if i could fit a full size spare in and they consulted and waffled and hemmed and hawed and finally said yes! you can! we'll just have to go over to the parts department and see about that! and then it was An Odyssey of multiple hours to get the car inspected (???) and registered and my insurance and whatever, and we didn't finish until nearly an hour after the dealership had closed, and I knew if I brought up the damn tire again somebody was going to cry, maybe me, so I didn't. but I have to call them... tomorrow now... and be like "so i was serious, also I want to discuss how to note this down in the maintenance logs so I get my rotations done five ways". and like, to be perfectly truly genuinely honest, it's not that I'm afraid I'll get stuck somewhere unable to drive, it is one hundred percent that I drive this car almost exclusively distances of 300 miles or more, and what WILL happen to me is that i get a flat as I get onto the highway or, better still, after I have gone maybe a hundred miles, and I can put the donut on but you cannot do highway driving for hundreds of miles on a donut, and so I will be stuck in fucking Utica or something and have to buy four new tires from literally wherever is open at the time and it will be a shitshow and it will be ten pm on a friday or something, and i absolutely will not do this.
So what will happen is, I will buy a spare fifth tire, I will at some point destroy one of my tires, and they'll say "ah you gotta buy four new ones" but i will say ha no i don't, and I will put the donut back in the trunk and store the spare rim somewhere until such time as I have yet another problem and then I will say, sadly, okay now I have to buy FIVE new tires, and will re-set. (This means that yes, then I will destroy a second tire on the Thruway near Nowhere at midnight on a Sunday, that's how it will go, but I will have put it off.)
2) I forget what 2 is. Oh yeah the fucking check from my fucking insurance. We floated the money to use as a down payment on this car, pulling it from some money we have earmarked but have not yet used for other things, and then the fucking check hasn't arrived yet, they claim to have mailed it on the sixth. So that's a headache. I just spent a thousand years combing through the website to see if there's a form where I can send a message to a person to ask them-- all the website says is "paid by check" but they don't mention mailing the check, so was there something else I was supposed to have done about it?
In the meantime, I got a loan from the dealership to finance part of the car purchase and while I am un-loan-to-able because my income is so wretchedly low, I was shocked to discover that somehow my credit score is insanely high, nearly perfect. Which is obviously meaningless because nobody will loan to me anyway. And it just highlights what a fucking stupid scam credit reports are. Because I have near-perfect credit, and am un-loan-to-able. Christ what a farce. (Dude co-signed, and the moment he appeared all communications were in his name, and the dealership texted me a request to leave them a review-- addressed to his name. On my phone! Which is the only contact info they have! Which is MY PHONE. It rankles! I'm going to leave them a good review but not until after I've calmed down about it. Come the fuck on.)

On to a lighter note, I am excited about the zodiac mod I’ve been working on. Right now, it works with seasons. Sims get certain zodiac signs depending on whether they were born in winter, spring, summer, autumn, and depending on which day of the week.
The zodiac sign gets added via gameplay once the Sim is born, ensuring Sims born on the same day in a particular season get the same zodiac sign. For example, twins will have the same zodiac. For Sims who are being loaded into the game from CAS (for instance), who were not born into the world, their zodiac will be randomised, OR chosen by the player.
The zodiac sign will impact gameplay, wants and fears, there will be zodiac compatibility like in Sims 3, so Sims who have signs that are incompatible will find it harder to build relationships and visa versa. Zodiac signs will also add more depth to traits and buffs.
I will most probably be making other versions of the mod for players without seasons, and players who want the ability to add a zodiac sign to Sims via CAS.
I might also make a version that impacts what traits your Sims can have depending on their zodiac, but I’m not sure if this is a bit restrictive and unrealistic.
I am super excited to be working on this and I’m looking forward to sharing it too. And hey, if there are any other features you’d like to see the Zodiac Signs add to the game, please comment or message me ☺️
Update: Skill modifiers will also be a part of the mod. Different zodiac signs will learn certain skills faster or slower, eg, Leo’s will learn charisma faster!

Hi! Is there going to be a break between TND finishing and TUP launching? Adore all your stories - much love!🥰🥰🥰
Hi anon!
Yeah there's definitely going to be a pretty significant break! I need to get my story load down pretty drastically, so I don't think I'll be able to add The Prince's Son back in until Blue, Gold or Black are finished in the Underline the Rainbow series.
I'm hoping my future line-up which is many months away will eventually be something like:
Palmarosa
Underline the Silver (this or Red will likely replace Black)
Underline the Red
The Prince's Son (once a month updates)
Constellations and/or other Falling Falling Stars extras (once a month updates)
And pooooossibly Smoke in Autumn going onto regular rotation.
A Stain that Won't Dissolve is over halfway now, it's reasonable to think that might actually be finished by about chapter 50 or a bit before. Underline the Black is well over halfway, and we're actually sliding into our final act. Blue and Gold might actually be still going at that point but they're not as taxing as some of the regular stories I'm working on every month! They're pretty relaxing to write.
The reality is that I've been working way too hard for a little while and rather than just like... go on complete hiatus, which I can't afford to do financially anymore, I will not be replacing every story I finish with something else.
I'm in a group with a lot of other professional serial writers on Facebook and when the question 'how many projects / serials are you working on right now?' comes up, most people are working on 1, or 2-3 at most. And then I come in and I'm like 'I'm working on 8' and then we all sit there and stare at that like 'damn boy you're going to collapse if you keep doing that' to which it's like oh I already have. x.x Whoops! It is a problem entirely of my own making, I'm excited about all of these stories, and it's really only sheer willpower that is stopping me from also working on Red and Silver and The Prince's Son etc. at the same time.
This is also to give me more time to rest but ALSO to work on editing Game Theory which has honestly ground to a complete halt!
Anyway there's some shifts happening, they're a few months away, and The Nascent Diplomat isn't officially finishing until May (on AO3), and I actually think by then I'll have a better idea of what's happening.
Hopefully! O.O

Site Update - 10/13/2022
Tumblr media
Hi Pillowfolks! 
Our developers have pushed an update to the platform that includes some of the rewards unlocked from the Autumn Funding Drive as well as a number of bug fixes. Please note that we will be adding additional Lifestyle Badges in our next update. 
Tumblr media
NEW Features
Holiday Badge Pack - You can now display your love of Autumn and Halloween with one of five fancy new badges!
Autumn Drive 2022 Contributor Badge - All users who donated during the month of September 2022 are also in the process of being granted the Autumn Drive pumpkin pie badge. The process for validating everyone who is eligible for this badge should only take an hour or so, so if you did donate but do not see the pumpkin pie badge in the gallery of available badges in your Settings page after a couple of hours, email us and we will look into it.
Autumn Frame Pack & Halloween Frame Pack - 4 new seasonal Frames have been added to the User Settings page. Frames include: Pumpkin Spice Latte Frame, Autumn Frame, Bone Frame, and Halloween Frame. (Note: Frames are only visible on screens wider than 760px.)
Bonus Frames - As a thank you to our community for your continued support and patience throughout this year we’ve also included two special Pillowfort frames. We’re excited to see creative uses of the bonus frames!
Bug Fixes
We’ve improved error handling on the home feed and notifications feed. Previously, the loading spinner would display endlessly if the request for home feed/notification feed data failed, without providing an error message. Now the page will display a message if the request fails.
Fixed a number of styling issues in dark mode: 
Fixed the font color for external link previews
Fixed the font color for blockquotes in comments
Fixed the font color for the redundant reblog pop-up
Fixed the colors for various elements in the post reblog modal
When reblogging a post, the “Submit” button in the modal will be hidden to avoid confusion about the request going through.
Fixed a bug in Blog Styling where the Styling Modal erroneously displayed an empty field value as #FFFFFF. A field that does not have any color selected will now display “none” in the field.
Fixed a bug in Blog Styling where color changes that were entered but not saved would persist after a page refresh.
Fixed a bug in Blog Styling where if a user entered a hex character (#) into the blog Styling form, an error triggered on save.
Fixed a bug where users who are not logged in were not able to see a blog’s custom background color.
Fixed a bug where the “What is Pillowfort?” link on the login page was missing on wider screens.
Fixed a bug where an embedded link preview smaller than the post width was aligned to the left. The preview is now centered in the post.

YourHoesHorses Immersive ReShade Presets update and new fall themed presets!
Hey! I've been working on better improving my shaders by learning how to arrange my load order for each affect, playing with more affects to make my presets look even nicer, as well as adding new presets for the fall season! That being said, if you are using my shaders, I suggest updating them as the load order on the old files are very disorganized.
My preset pack is completely free to download! You can find my files here!
Here's how the new files will look!
Morning Dew
Tumblr media
Everyday
Tumblr media
Over Cast (new!)
Tumblr media
Rainy
Tumblr media
Sunset
Tumblr media
Twilight
Tumblr media
Clear Night
Tumblr media
Bright Night (This preset won't be updated or tweaked any further. in future updates this file will be removed from my preset pack as it no longer truly works as I wanted it to (that being creating artificial light sources from lamps and lightbulbs). If you enjoy this preset, I suggest you keep the old files)
Tumblr media
Light Polluted Night
Tumblr media
Foggy Night
Tumblr media
Forest Fire
Tumblr media
And now for the fall themed presets!! These presets make Golden Hills appear more vibrant while the rest of the map appears cooler and dried out
Cool Fall Day

Fly with you, pixies! With autumn just around the corner, we thought we'd drop a fun new update - something you're sure to fall for.
First up: Bubble Bounce is no longer the only Talent Game on the block.  We've finally added Butterfly Painter!🦋 Flit on down to Palm Tree Cove to lend Tink a helping wing as she catches up on a 9-year backlog of unpainted butterflies.
If you prefer bubbles over butterflies, you'll be glad to know that we've added 5 more levels to Bubble Bounce, so now you can play levels 1 - 10! We've also improved the Bubble Bounce animations.
Whichever game you pick, when it comes time to take a break, you can now pause minigames!

We've also tinkered with some non-Talent Game features to make the Hollow that much more enjoyable:
On your way into the game, you'll notice a little something special: a loading animation while you wait for a server.
No more need to check player profiles for their Talent! Wings now change color according to your chosen Talent.
When you're done trying out Butterfly Painter, take a seat in the sand and crank up the volume, because we've remastered the Palm Tree Cove theme!
See ya ‘round the frozen falls!
