Gosh I’m just so incredibly torn. This reveal today was amazing and I genuinely have no idea what is going to happen next.
There were so many things about the visit that just felt… off but at the same time it was so sweet and great to see and I’d love for this to be real. It kind of felt like a dream and now I’m wishing for the dream to never end.
All this has got me thinking of two things cc!bbh said recently. 1- the lore is gonna get even more unhinged soon and 2- there is something no one has picked up on that he’s been hinting at for a while
I think the thing people haven’t been paying attention to is the massive head wound under his hood that is causing the change in his eye color. This wound is probably the source of his memory loss and the hallucinations and the longer it goes unchecked, the worse both are going to get. When bad took his hood off the other day to wear the meature I almost had a heart attack because I wanted foolish to see the wound in his head SO BAD because it feels so incredibly important.
We know Bad’s memory loss is getting worse. Regardless of whether or not Ron is real, Bad made this house and he doesn’t remember. Bad said on stream (in character) that he was building a new place for Ron before Ron’s fate became a mystery but now, bbh doesn’t remember. That’s weeks ago that he’s forgetting things - before the break, before something happened to Ron.
The paranoia spiral could have been a one off psychological break or it could have been the damn breaking and the start of even more hallucinations. Ron could be a hallucination created out of Bad’s guilt for either killing him or losing him. Bad’s previous hallucinations were born from fear and paranoia and thus were terrifying. This hallucination could be born from guilt and the sorrow of Dapper’s birthday passing- as Ron was acting very similar to Dapper in many ways and Bad even pointed out how the plants outside reminded him of Dapper and thus the hallucinations were much more pleasant.
His memory is getting worse. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if his hallucinations get worse as well.
But I’m not fully convinced this is a hallucination either. What ever path cc!bbh takes us down I’m confident will be a satisfying and gripping story and I can’t wait for tomorrow to gain another piece of the puzzle.

RECAP OF TOMMY'S LORE STREAM!
(This stream does NOT feature cc!Dream, however c!Dream is mentioned frequently).
Tommy messages Tubbo to meet him on Punz's tower. When Tubbo arrives, he remarks that he hasn’t seen Tommy in months. They jump off into the fountain for fun, and talk about how they miss being lively.
They go to Tommy's house, and Tommy mentions he hasn’t been there in months either, and explains about the torture mixtape to Tubbo. They go down to the tunnels, which Tommy has rebuilt, and talk about how Dream ruins their lives and how he's specifically dedicated his own life to making Tommy suffer.
Tommy breaks his plan to Tubbo that he wants to kill Dream. He feels bad and doesn’t want to kill anyone, but he thinks it’s necessary for Dream to stop torturing them. He proposes making a cottage core forest nation they can co-rule after. Tubbo suggests going to the moon and naming it L'Moon instead, and accepts.
Tommy takes Tubbo down into the bunker he’s been staying in for the last few months- it’s covered in vines, has very limited armour and traps, and is mostly dedicated to brewing invisibility potions which he’s grown addicted to.
Tommy mentions how he’s reliant on being invisible because he’s always been forced into the spotlight on the server. He also reveals he was witness to the destruction of Las Nevadas- he saw it while invisible.
He followed Dream to the prison, so he knows that’s where he lives, and is planning on striking tomorrow. Tubbo is apprehensive but agrees.
They split up, and Tommy heads to Wilbur's grave to talk to him. He meets up with Philza, and they bond over missing Wilbur. Philza shares him a god Apple and some armour.
Tommy heads closer to the prison, so he can see it, and ends saying ““I’ll see you tommorow, Dream, for the last fucking time””
Also, the acting in this stream is phenomenal, along with basically every decision and reference made. Tommy clearly is pouring his heart and soul into these streams, which makes the Circumstances a million times more tragic :(

BACK TO DECEMBER — reading club !
scaramouche x gn!reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
NAME—an achiever all their life, this new school was more laidback than previously but that did not mean you loved it more. as the memories of the past haunts you at your wake, all the supposed academical achievements you easily got were all the more useless, and the reading club becomes a comfort
Tumblr media Tumblr media
KAMISATO AYAKA — the popular girl and president of the reading club. every guy has been in love with but also secretly has a crush the biggest crush on a girl, and will probably be kicked out once her strict rich parents heard about this, she gets high grades and often speaks of her brother abroad and his hot european bodyguard
Tumblr media Tumblr media
KAVEH — a multitalented man who regularly breaks up with his boyfriend and roommate, alhaitham. he also gives you amazing love advice that he never follows and no matter what he tweets online he will be the first to knock at your door and comfort you on your off days.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
XIAO — who will gladly beat up the person you are tweeting about so you can just shut up (affectionate) is also the campus emo boy but will soon be replaced by a certain transferee student. xiao doesn't care about doing well in school for he is a billionaire's son and most likely will be rich his whole life
Tumblr media Tumblr media
YOIMIYA — silly girl who dreams of the cottage core lesbian aesthetic. also has a bunch of hit posts from her random rambles online and a favorite of the elementary students. she wishes to help you about your emotions, but she is too busy being an icon and a legend
Tumblr media Tumblr media
VENTI — a poetic song writer who creates masterpieces that makes fun of all of his friend's sorrowful and miserable lives. often gets low scores on purpose to get the teacher fuming at him and often braids your hair and becomes a parlor when you cry over the past.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
KAEYA — who acts like the biggest playboy but never in a relationship, he often creates thirst posts in tiktok but too shy to talk to anyone who actually develops feelings for him. he is also friends with so many people, all of which describes him as mysterious entity. he also probably knows your whole life story before you setting a foot in your new school
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MONA — only went to the reading club when she realized how heavily financially supported it is by its rich sponsors. she makes tarot card readings online and does a manifestation subliminal affirmations every time an exam is near and even gave you rose quartz and believes you will be with your lost love because of it
Tumblr media
BACK TO DECEMBER — masterpost || late night drinking buddies
SUMMARY: you were childhood bestfriends with scaramouche, and with many unanswered confessions and one sided goodbyes, you both meet again, but now he wears a cold glance even turning agressive when his eyes wander yours, and it all came down the day he became the top of your class, beating you and rejoicing in success. his smile was because of your pain. maybe you could turn back time where promises actually never broke, and love was a beautiful thing.
TAGLIST: @yukiipc @wanderchive @user11918163805279 @gekkow @moon-320 @meowmeowmau @mine-lu @sunaaa @lxkeeeee @faaariiii-world @lazy-sanns @sketcheeee @divinechicha @virette

Hi Harvey!
Doctor… did you know.. that a penguin gives their loved one a pebble. Having them be mates for life?
Just a random fun fact to share with you.
Also…
What kind of aesthetic would you fall under? For instance.. I’m under the cottage core aesthetic.
Okay! Take care! Stay hydrated. Get plenty of rest! (Says the person that does none of that herself as a mom)
isn't that a sweet fact about penguins? i didn't know that. how romantic.
Tumblr media
as for my personal aesthetic, i suppose it's as simple as what i wear to work every day. i enjoy comfortable clothing that is relaxed, laid back, and not too overwhelming.
Tumblr media
make sure to take care of yourself, too. i've seen with my own two eyes how difficult motherhood can be. so take some time for yourself, sound good? doctor's orders.

My Waiting Rooms
The Hord
My first waiting room was inspired by the labyrinth, my love for friendly monsters and my need to live inside of a tree like a pixie.
The reason why I named this "The Hord" is because underneath the roots of my tree house is an elaborate cave system that I can access from my library. In those caves lives a Dragon that hordes all of my memories for current, past, and future lives. That dragon is a reflection of my Higher Self should I need any advice.
Around my tree house is a Labyrinth with serval moon doors, these are magical portals that can take me to any DR that I wish at any time.
Several agreeable monsters also call this waiting room their home and have designated territories.
I do have a non human mental health professional here that fits all my needs.
A few of my favorite parental figure characters of other medias also live here for any needed advice. Like Iroh and Genkai for example.
It has a different biome and mode of travel in each cardinal direction that leads to a different Waiting Room. This is the center of all my experiences and should I die in any of my other realities unexpectedly I would immediately shift here.
To the East there is a horse drawn carriage that goes though grasslands that will take you to Barbie's Mansion. To the south, between two forested mountains, there is a train that will bring you to the Dreamweaver station right outside Haven Village. To the West there is a bioluminescent beach with a yacht that will sail you to a Vacation Resort Island. To the North is a garage with a convertible Jeep prepared for your camping trip into the desert. Should you go far enough you will find yourself stopping at a gas station with strange burritos.
One day I'll post a map of everything.
Barbie's Creepy Dream House
Have any of you been to a Meow Wolf location yet? I have. I am obsessed with this string of immersive art experiences in the American south. I also have a wooden barbie doll house that my uncle made me when I was 8 that I am upcycling into a creepy display piece. This was the inspiration for my second waiting room.
In the fields, meadows, and marsh lands that surround the house I can find apparitions of ancestors and other loving entities on my spiritual team should I wish to speak with them directly.
Because I haven't finished the art project I have not solidified this WR, but I'll get to it in a few years.
The Haven
This inspired by the meditation series by The Honest Guys called Haven and Dreamweaver.
Important people (my core chosen family) in each of the realities I end up in will also be here with our collective memories together. This could be from one life as friends; or multiple, like my siblings. The souls here that have lived multiple lives with me can change their body to appear like any of their DR forms at will.
The soul of my "Kiss Me Again" lover lives here as my spouse in my English cottage with a thatched roof.
I often collaborate with my siblings and lover about who they want to be in my next DR, and who they want me to pull here for them to live an eternity with.
All of my past, present, and future pets live here.
Wii Sport Resort
I use to fucking love the Wii Sports games. SO yeah, I am going to play it forever. With tons of Mountain Dew.
And why not on an island with all my friends from every DR.
My OR biological family will also live here, but they will all be idealized healed versions of themselves.
This will have ALL Wii Sports games among other fun vacation activities, and PC Lounges were we can all play video games too.
Desert Skies
Inspired by a after death fictional audio drama podcast called Desert Skies.
I'm still working on the other details, but this will be a solo adventure of self discovery and processing the loss of each lived life.
*these are all waiting rooms because: they have no plot, are unaffected by time, every living thing is immortal, there are no bugs I dislike, no one ever gets dirty, or experiences any sort of discomfort/harm, we all always smell good, what every your want will appear upon your will of thinking it, you don't need to eat sleep or drink water if you don't want to, there are no ill effects to drugs, you can't get sick, and all of everyone's needs are provided for. There is no suffering of any kind.*

Tumblr media
weekly tag game! It's Thursday though, hope that's ok. Thanks for the tag @deedala and @michellemisfit! I love doing these!
which character from any media would you like to have as a father?: Craig T Nelson in the movie The Family Stone. That's such a good movie and he's a great dad. Also he's age appropriate since I am old.
if money, laws, time, and effort were no object, what animal would you want to have?: Another dog would be fun. Someday I want another rescue pit mix to keep Alvin company. Only a girl we can name Darla (my daughter's choice)
what is your Chinese takeout order?: ooooh crab rangoon and maybe general tso chicken with fried rice. I haven't had Chinese food in a long time.
what's your favourite emoji?: I'm on the computer and can't do it, but I overuse the hell out of the cry-laugh emoji.
would you rather have a library, greenhouse, or home theater in your house?: a greenhouse would be amazing just to be in, the plants and the filtered light, just so cheerful on a colder day.
what childhood tv show do you think of the most fondly? oh gosh, maybe little house on the prairie? I was obsessed with the books and the show looked 0% like Minnesota and Wisconsin but I still loved it.
what was your tumblr like when you first joined?: I only joined so I could look at shameless stuff. it was 2013. I didn't really know what to do with it for a long time. Then I got super active and then walked away. Now I'm back!
what clothing style do you love but don't feel compelled to replicate yourself?: Gosh I feel like I'm too old to pull off any style anymore, but I love the 70s-90s punk aesthetic and cottage core, to go two completely different directions.
if you were plopped into a fictional world, which one would you know the layout of the best?: Does it have to be a whole other world like not a real place? Because I have no idea.
what is your favourite piece of art?: Christina's World by Andrew Wyeth (pictured above) I also really love Whistler.
do you have a water bottle? what does it look like?: Olive green with stickers but it leaks so I don't take it anywhere, just use at home, but only sometimes.
what fanfic trope is a quiet fave? I'm not quiet about anything in life haha
do you carry a daily bag? what does it look like? what's the weirdest thing in it?: Lightish brown leather crossbody from Madewell that I got from a friend. I love it so much. The weirdest thing is maybe an epi pen. My son is super duper allergic to bees.
If you had to ship Mickey with another Gallagher, who would it be?: Oh god, WHAT? No. But fine. Lip I guess.
what is a fanfic trope you didn't expect to like and then very much did?: maybe a/b/o?
Do you think s11 Mickey can still carry s11 Ian?: Ian got so gloriously beefy in S11 but Mickey is ripped and anyway he would never admit he couldn't carry him. He could get a slipped disc or hernia and he'd still try and walk it off.
who got custody of the killing bat when they sold the house?: Carl and Debbie fought over it, but Liam took it while no one was looking. @silvanshadow @juliakayyy @francesrose3 and @gallawitchxx join in if you haven't already!

Tumblr media
1] STELLAR UNION ! ░ the characters you have best compatibility with are ...
VENTI !
— you two encourage each other to show your brighter side! it feels light, soft and illuminated when you two are in each other's company because the friendship comes naturally to you both! there is a feeling of mutual understanding where neither ought to speak much in order for the other to understand. this would come very naturally to you and to him, because you two would find each other to be the ideal person to be with in life. if you both have bad habits, you both drop it to show the other your best side. this isn't superficial, don't get it wrong—but just really inspiring.
— friendship would come naturally because you two can bond over similarities and disparities. both of you are of harmonious and kind nature, always looking for a chance to have fun but also to expand your horizons. exchanging ideas and having debates would be a major love language between you two! while most don't regard it as such, you two prove that it is. he'd find you similar to himself yet different in a way that compliments his unstable personality. he could see you as his muse, a source of inspiration when stuck. you're ethereal in his eyes, and he would put you on a pedestal in his mind.
— art! you two would enjoy indulging in art with each other and discuss various topics of interest. doing things together seems to be a major theme here. in addition to all these cute things, you both would also be understanding of each other's peculiarities and even respect it. he would adjust to your somewhat nit picky nature, especially your attitude towards cleanliness and sanitation. and you would adjust to his airy nature, and help him see life practically as much as he sees it with rose-tinted glasses. this relationship is based off understanding, respect and mutual love.
KAVEH !
— again, a huge theme of exchange of ideas, discussions, debates, art and inspiration! he would adore you because you're innocently passionate, you would make him feel a bit shy because you're so open and talkative. while he would adjust quickly too, he would definitely be caught off-guard initially because you would come off as being very shy to him. your personality would be a pleasant experience for him because he would be willing to revel in it. you seem like someone who'd listen, understand, even if you don't actively mean it or intend to show it, which would make kaveh head over heels for you, even as a friend.
— you two would inspire creativity in each other. there's a huge feeling that he would love you much more than you'd love him, not saying that you wouldn't love someone, but his extent of love would simply surpass yours and it may at times, both, make you extremely happy or just extremely overwhelmed. whatever may it be, just know he would always just want the best for you.
— he'd have learnt a lot from his lack of practicality in real life, and may need help from his roommate at times on being grounded. he would want to provide for you and just make you very comfortable, despite being aware you're more than capable of providing yourself every luxury. he'd love to regard you as his queen! very soft energy here! he'd melt for you, down to a puddle! he'd want to be the best for you and would revel in watching you being successful. he could even leave his job for you which is kind of sad lol, but he'd think of you as being so, so creative and intelligent!
YANFEI !
— again, exchange of ideas, experiences and opinions. but unlike the both above, yanfei would be such a sisterly bond for you. she'd feel like a home and would seem to relate to all your problems because you two are very similar fundamentally. not just this, but both of you are fond of exchanging ideas and it would make her just really happy because most people find her quite annoying. she would be comfortable to have long talks with you and share all kinds of stories! best thing is, you wouldn't find her obnoxious and help her feel accepted.
— regardless, the theme of fun, light-heartedness and sweetness reappears with whomsoever you bond with! you would add fuel to her spirit of fun which would make her content in your presence. imagine as though both of you indulge in something fun yet tiring for a long time and then when you both come back home, you're discussing it together before ultimately falling asleep together, on each other! there would be a lot of respect from her side, and much love and care from yours, which would allow this bond to face the test of time.
2] ENCLOSED KISS ! ░ baizhu has a small message ...
Dear Vi,
Liyue has been undeniably cheerful nowadays. Lantern Rite season, after all, does hold a special place in every Liyuen's heart. It would be rare to find a single face that doesn't bear a smile—yet not impossible, for you're absent and I'm alone.
Changsheng is an amazing company, but even she has few topics to speak of which don't all end at you, reminding me of your absence. I resisted the urge to reach out to you, for you must be quite busy, but I believe I may relax such restrictions once in a while. I hope Sumeru is treating you well, considering how the weather and geographical conditions are quite similar in both nations.
If you would not mind, I'd love to recount a small, laughably insignificant event that took place the very week you left. Remember, the mushrooms and Sumeru rose samples you'd sent to me? They were quite helpful with my research, however what caught my fancy even more was the small batch of green fur that sneaked its way inside the brown paper bag. Certainly, I was curious and was just as quick to question the existence of fennec foxes or furry animals, specifically green in colour, within the Avidya forest.
Much to my luck, I had accidentally signed the letter in quite an ambiguous manner and it ended up on the desk of a Junior Forest Ranger, who was quick to correct me on my mistake and wrote me back about her Master Tighnari, who happened to have green fur. What a pleasant way to be introduced to someone whom I looked forward to meeting the next time when in Sumeru!
Well, then what, I asked her politely not to mention it to anyone and wrote simultaneously to Tighnari. We've established a lovely correspondence by now, and are both willing to provide books and research material and help each other with samples of rarer plant and animal species.
A small thing I'd like to mention, as well—
Tighnari reached out to me a while back regarding your transitions with him. While I would never go as far as keeping tabs on you, I must put in a warning here—you must never consume Rose honey with the sleep medicines, they're extremely bad for your skin. I hope only, that this knowledge from my side doesn't trouble you too much. I am more than respectful of your privacy.
Other than this, nothing particular has happened in your absence. As you asked, the house has been in immaculate condition, Qiqi has been a great help in helping look after the plants and the fish pond. I wish to treat her to Coconut milk, but I believe she prefers it when you give it to her. How partial, isn't it, love?
If you'd be curious, the Yuheng personally dropped by to question when you would return and asked me to convey her message to you—'Take care, Vi. I wished to spend this Lantern Rite with you too, however it seems it shan't be possible. Regardless! I hope most earnestly that you are blessed with so much success in life, that time chases after you.'
A few letters and gifts from family members have arrived, too. Of course, I haven't given you my gift, either, so that as well. Everyone else, including Qiqi, is doing very well. So am I.
Hoping earnestly to see you soon,
Yours ever,
Baizhu
5] VENUS AESTHETIC ! ░ you and baizhu...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you know how to play the guitar?? ultimate green flag bae, marry me😭also! since i acknowledged that you and baizhu would be excellent together, i thought it better to mention new characters!

I’m planning on playing a Stardew Valley-inspired save and was wondering what mods you’d recommend using.
I don’t expect to get things 1:1, but I’d like to have some mods that add and expand on the gardening system and relationships.
Tumblr media
So first as a disclaimer I'm going to out myself and say I'm not a SDV girlie--I grew up with Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons and they're what scratches my cozy farming itch--but they're similar enough and I do have a whole ass farm save to one day return to so...
For vanilla gameplay, you can get a basic cozy farming save going with Cats & Dogs, Seasons and Cottage Living but these mods SHOULD enhance your gameplay overall. I've used most of them to varying degrees in the past--anything I haven't used I marked, but they come from creators that I highly recommend.
As always, read the requirements for each mod! A lot require the XML Injector, and relationship ones often require the Mood Pack.
This mod list was written on Patch 1.98.158.1020 / Mac: 1.98.158.1220 (June 13 2023).
Mods for Better Relationships
First Impressions by Lumpinou: I know I always suggest this one, but if you are doing ANY sort of save where romance/relationship building is a core part of it, you want this! Starting off strong with a villager is a good thing! OR you can have enemies-to-lovers!
RPO by Lumpinou: I also always suggest this one. If you don't have it, please get it! It's beautiful! It's powerful! I honestly use all the modules, but I would specifically suggest Modules 15 & 17 here as they add to relationships. Module 17 is the new RPO Attraction system. But it's nice to have the rest of it too if you don't already, especially if you're planning on kids in your save. It really adds to the gameplay to find your ~ideal partner~ and then it turns out they don't want kids when you do :O
Road to Romance by Lumpinou: This adds a romance skill to the game, with custom interactions. Add in for more in-depth romance. (It also adds in rabbit hole dates which I like to get sims offscreen for a minute)
Have Some Personality Please! by Polarbearsims: This one I suggest to help with autonomy. You want your potential love interests to act of their own accord? Their traits to matter? Get this. It'll help. It can also block off romantic interactions :) so you feel like you've earned the heart events you're imagining
Wonderful Whims by Turbodriver: I'm not currently using either WW in my saves but I would suggest it for the attraction system, as again that will help with your quest for love. It can work in tandem with the attraction system from RPO as well :)
Home Regions by Kuttoe: this isn't really a relationship mod, but I would use it anyway JUST to keep your SDV sims in town where they belong... and keep the other townies OUT. You can set which TS4 worlds you want to see overlap from as well (like if you want some out of town visitors from Windenburg showing up, etc). Fun fact, it also fixes the problem where all your townies are Japanese so
No Randoms by Zero: and finally, this also isn't a relationship mod but it's pretty handy. Maybe you're like me and you don't want the default Mayor in your cozy farm save. You created your OWN characters to fill that role. Well, with this, you can assign the NPC roles in the game. Henford-on-Bagley has several NPC roles that play into the "story" of the world (Mayor, Garden Stall owner, Agatha & Agnes, Creature Keeper, etc) so it's definitely helpful for that!
Tumblr media
Mods for Better Farmlife
Free Range by lot51: this mod lets your cows and llamas roam freely without the Animal Shelter. They DO make messes that you'll have to clean up though (cow pies, trash, etc) and there's a few other extra little things like fairy circles that can spring up :)
Bug Life by lot51: and THIS mod brings bugs to your active lots. I always did a lot of bug collecting to make extra money in my Harvest Moon games.
Bird Life by lot51: I have NOT tried this mod out yet but I'm adding it already because if you're going to add Free Range and Bug Life already... Enhance the outdoors! Why not! Bring your farm to life! BIRDWATCH! (has anyone else played Wingspan? great game)
Farm Animal Set by TheKalino: this adds more custom animals to the game, some of which you can harvest wool or eggs from. Some are just aesthetic. They're added to the Animal Shelter. Nice to expand your farm options, if that's something you want to do!
Cottage Living Tweaks by Zero: specifically Agatha & Agnes are Mortal; Village Gossipers are Residents; Dogs Chase Foxes More Often; and Patchy Scares Foxes (that's right. Use that scarecrow for something). These are just little tweaks to help you out. To be fair, if you're using Home Regions I don't think you'll need Village Gossipers are Residents but I also don't trust TS4 and I used them both at the same time in the past so.
Better Animal Hygeine, Better Animal Hunger, Better Animal Activity by LittleMsSam: these are small tweak mods just to make your life easier with the animals. :)
Calm Bees by LittleMsSam: if you want to add beekeeping to your farm (I would), this is a nice little addition to calm your bees tf down!
Flower Arrangements slower decay by LittleMsSam: I don't remember the Harvest Moon game I got REALLY into doing flower arrangements for, but there was definitely one and I definitely spent a lot of time doing them and gifting them to my love interest. So I'm suggesting it for that reason lmao
More Woodworks by LittleMsSam: you know, just in case your farmer is really into crafting...
Pets Everywhere by Kuttoe: adds stray cats & dogs to every world, including Henford-on-Bagley. Nice if you want to play it as if your farmer befriends the dog and they join the household that way.
Dairy Cowplant by Icemunmun or Cowplant Farming by BrazenLotus: you could have both of them but I think it's just easier to pick one. These add new cowplant varieties that make... milk! They can also make different kinds of milk.... See below with the harvestables... I feel like the Cowplant really does fit with Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons' level of quirky, you know?
Functional Mill, Plant Milk Press, Dairy Churn by Icemunmun: these are custom objects to, again, add onto your gameplay. They work with the custom harvestables below to add some more stuff for your farmers to create. And they're very on theme.
Cheesemaking Skill by BrazenLotus: another custom object/mod/skill that adds to what your farmers can make. I have NOT tried it yet but I'm honestly about to throw it into my game today because I'm obsessed with the very IDEA of it. I've used BrazenLotus mods in the past so I can recommend
Tumblr media
Custom Recipes and Harvestables
One of the best parts of these cozy farming games has always been the cooking, right? The custom harvestables will add more variety to your farm... The custom recipes are just my suggestion to spice up your game. I am a glutton for custom recipes, tbh. Besides, the way to a love interest's heart is through their stomach, right? What better way to
Custom Harvestables by Icemunmun
Custom Foods by Icemunmun (requires custom food interaction)
Custom Foods by BrazenLotus (there are a LOT here--BrazenLotus has a whole homesteading section which is really cool and was not there the last time I went to their site and I'm literally obsessed)
Grannie's Cookbook by Littlbowbub
Oni's Food Mod (I use this one the least--right now in my "gutted' mod folder I only have Grannie's Cookbook--but I've used it in the past and still highly recommend)
Tumblr media
Hopefully this helps! Happy simming!

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕
thank you so much!❤️ sorry this took me so long to answer 😅
i'll start with jori since she's the first one i created! i know it may not seem like it lately but she's the main baby of the other 2 main babies i have! ive projected so much of myself and interests onto her that i became attached quickly lmao! she's also the one who i insert into every piece of media that im consuming and like enough. like, if im playing dead space i totally imagine her in the place of isaac. or if im playing a backrooms game she's the one running around and trying to escape from the monsters lmfao! her story has taken different shapes and changes since i actually brought her over from red dead online. her twin brother, mika, doesnt exist in red dead online and was solely create for cyberpunk purposes. i love the pic on the left because i just think she looks really badass lmao! and i like the one on the right because im not usually patient enough to set up sets and backgrounds but this time i stuck it out and i loved it! it's simple compared to what others can do but im still proud of it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
next is the love of her life, driss! back when i first started getting into modding my game i actually shipped her with river. i was trying to get a cute shot of her and river looking out at the sunset over the ocean, but sine i was so new to modding i didnt know bigger characters like river had a different locomotion type so i couldnt get any poses to work. as a test i replaced an NPC couple with jori and driss and that was when i fell into a hole lmfao! i thought they looked so much better together so i kept them going! their ship name is Broken and Beautiful because both of them have past traumas that still effect them but they found comfort and understanding in each other. i love how soft both of these pics are! especially the fire behind them in the one on the right!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
lottie is my second of the main 3! she also started out as a red dead online OC! i usually try to make her come off as a flowery, cottage core, disney princess aesthetic type. she's the softest and shyest of my OCs but she can be fierce too! she smiles at strangers in the street and will lend a hand if they look like they need it but she does it with caution because... its night city lmao! i chose these pictures in particular because i just thought they were the coolest ones. i do have some pics that showcase her as soft and flowery but i just couldnt resist showing these ones instead! the one on the left was made to be a tarot card called The World. the pic on the right was me trying out a greaser AU on her! i really love how they both came out!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the last of the main 3 is phoenix! i made her fully expecting to just leave her to collect dust, just like certain other OCs, (and i feel so bad for them 😔) but i became attached to her very quickly too. i based a chunk of her personality off of vash the stampede from the 1998 anime trigun. after a short while of that i actually ended up shipping her with him lmfao! currently she doesnt have a backstory because nothing has really inspired me yet but at least i know some things about her current life! i think these pics are perfect for show casing her as she currently is. she lives in clutter but not, like, dirty clutter if that makes sense? she just likes having stuff and buying things that interest her. i mean doesnt everyone? haha! she doesnt really save her money for anything other than rent and bills, everything else is purely impulse. her favorite treat is donuts and when she's willing to share one with you thats how you know she likes you! her favorite thing is to make people smile!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
onto stuff that i made for other people! i really loves these pics that i took of mishka and claire for @thelonestrider! mishka looks SO GOOD in purple! and claire is chef's kiss! i had a lot of fun taking pics of her! i got such freeing vibes from her so i had to have her enjoying the sun's rays!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i took these ones for @holofishes and i totally consider wren to be one of jori's besties! i think they'd have so much to talk about and i get such warm vibes when i see them together! jori is usually very sweet and kind but when it comes to her friends she'd kick anyone's ass 😉 the sunflowers and butterflies in the first pic took so long to place! but it was totally worth it! they're both rays of sunshine!

ARC Review of Late Bloomer by Mazey Eddings
Tumblr media
Rating: 4/5 Heat Level: 3.75/5 Publication Date: April 16th
Premise:
A sapphic opposites-attract romance; Opal gets conned into buying a flower farm with her lottery winnings, only to find out it's already owned by Pepper. The farm is failing and the two women decide the best way to save it is entering a national flower show competition.
My review:
This was the sapphic cottage-core romance of my dreams! Opal wins the lottery and in an effort to distance herself from her mooch-y fake friends, she escapes by buying the Thistle and Bloom. Enter Pepper, grumpy flower farmer and actual(?) owner, and the two of them quickly come to the agreement that they'll live together as roommates while they sort out the situation and enter a flower sculpture competition for the prize money.
I loved the idea of both Opal and Pepper finding refuge in the Thistle and Bloom at different points in their life. Both have been hurt in the past and the farm is their safe space as well as the source of inspiration for their art (the way the author describes growing flowers absolutely sounds like an art form; not to mention Opal's shoe-painting business), which is why it's all the more important that they save it from bankruptcy. However, things get further complicated when they begin a no-strings, no-feelings sexual relationship when obviously, there are some very real feelings growing between them.
I really like the way Mazey Eddings wrote both Opal and Pepper's characters; they come across as somewhat messy zillennials (complete with doctoring their own hair to fit their mood)— and they are! Opal and Pepper are 24 and 26 respectively. I saw some reviews call them immature but as someone around their age, I completely sympathize with the way they're both just trying to get by financially while navigating a new relationship. Like, there is a third act break-up that some might see as an overreaction, but I think it fits the pattern of their prior relationships, and the way they react makes sense. What I could have done with less of is the amount of zillenial pop culture references— from 3 different Taylor Swift references to Phoebe Bridgers and Timothee Chalamet. I feel like constant pop culture references tend to date a book.
This book has queer rep and neurodivergent rep; Opal is bisexual and Pepper identifies as queer, and both women are on the spectrum. I appreciate how Mazey Eddings also wrote in multiple queer side characters, as well as how she portrayed neurodiversity— everything from Opal's autism and ADHD causing her use alcohol as an unhealthy coping mechanism to Pepper's sensory sensitivities that cause her to dislike large crowds.
The sex:
I was pleasantly surprised by the sex scenes in this book! They're pretty damn hot and varied, super emotional as time goes on, and I loved the dynamic— Opal is the more assertive one in bed, which leads to some solid dirty talk on her part (it's also in contrast to how she is out of bed because she tends to waffle over a lot of decision making), while Pepper is a little more rough and uncertain but she also has this stern edge. And of course there's greenhouse sex because what even is the point otherwise.
Overall:
I had so much fun reading this book— it had so many laugh-out-loud moments while at the same time Opal and Pepper were such intensely sympathetic characters, perhaps even more so because they were not above messing up (also can we talk about the epilogue?? What Opal did for Pepper is literally the most romantic thing a person can do in this economy). I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an emotionally satisfying romcom that also brings the heat.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my review.

Yelena Belova Fluff Alphabet
Part 4. This can be read as x reader or with Kate Bishop. It can be viewed as queer platonic.I headcanon her as asexual as she is in the comics Prompt here. P: Patience (How easily angered are they?) She’s extremely patient. She’s had to survey from incredibly uncomfortable places for long hours or even days. If she has to wait for something, she will. However, the more she discovers about herself, the less patient she is. She occasionally becomes very excitable, almost bouncing on her heels. In terms of anger, she’s slow to anger and pretty tolerant, but it can only reach so far. She might give two, three or even four chances if she cares for you, but it depends on how you treat her. If you throw her past at you, she’ll brood and sometimes agree, or she’ll have a righteous anger, feeling betrayed. She might bicker with you over things like chores or picking out where to eat, but actual anger? That’s not often.. 
Q: Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every detail in passing, or do they kind of forget? ) Yelena knows EVERYTHING. It’s part of her training, and she loves to startle Kate with what she knows, details that even Kate might forget.  She does the same to her partner/friends. She can’t help it, and she finds it entertaining. However, if there is something super personal, she’ll avoid mentioning it. At least she won’t forget your birthday, or a graduation, or a festival! If you’re in a relationship, no worries about the anniversary, too if that is something she celebrates.
R: Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?) If it’s Kate, it’s eating Mac & Cheese in her flat. If it’s with you, it would be something sweet like driving to a beach or relaxing in the countryside, maybe near some woods. She has a small element of cottage core in her, so a day or two there would be fun, but she’d also love for you to play tourist with her in a new city.
S: Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?) She knows that some aspects of her life get rather wild, and while she does her best to prevent her work from spilling into your life, sometimes things happen. You will have one of the most secure homes in the world. She has all the tools to set up traps or distractions. She can turn anything into a weapon, even when half asleep. You’re safe. Emotionally, unless it goes against her core beliefs, she’s there to support you emotionally. Yelena doesn’t need protection and doesn’t want it. However, she would prefer something like you to have her back in an argument or support in something difficult she’s experiencing as a form of protection.

Fashion Advice Needed
I'm calling in fellow weirdos, I am FINALLY at a point in my life where I can go to a concert(FINALLY)! Hozier is performing just about 24hrs away from me this October. So I splurged, said fuck it, and bought a ticket.
Yes, I do need to plan out the trip, and how I'll save up for travel, etc.
BUT I ALSO NEED TO PLAN MY OUTFIT.
Cause I'm going to see HOZIER (the 'Take Me to Church' guy). The issue is I dress like Hank Schrader in my rural-town day-to-day life.
Tumblr media
I have always worn flannel/blue jeans/leather jacket person. I shop in the men's section of Walmart and only splurge on steel-toed boots. I want to have some fun and try some new shit for this concert. I don't want to be in a huge Blue city looking like I just stepped off a farm.
I want to go to this concert and get labeled as Queer by fellow Queers.
Yes, I know it's a Hozier concert, and most of his fans are in the community, but STILL.
I never spend money on clothes and I never branch out. So I need yawl's suggestions.
I'm talking cottage core dresses, concert-appropriate alt fashion, indie, 70's, lace, leather, ETC.
For some more reference, I'm a 5'10 twig. Dark wavy shoulder-length hair by October if it matters? I am willing to go Fem or Masc. on this, so don't worry too hard about something being 'out of fashion'.
Any help is appreciated.
I'm tagging those I trust for a variety of opinions and styles, but don't feel pressured to respond. If you're just scrolling past this on Tumblr and have no idea who I am, Hello!
@mossiestpiglet @estrogengerard @estrogengerard @gydima @vicsuragi @sugashook @dianetastesmetal @mad-dyspunktional
@treesofgreen @downinthehull
I love you all, and if you decide to, I hope you enjoy playing dress-up! Have fun with it!

✨How do sis✨ I'd like to request a match up with someone from either one piece or Haiykuu pls
Idk what to start with lol um
I'm an extrovert with long dreadlocks, that loves to draw and crochet. My love languages are gift giving, words of affirmation, and quality time. My favorite colors are greens, especially moss green. I love plants but only have one, it's thriving tho. And um my favorite aesthetic is cottage/fairy core aesthetic, I prefer cutesy kdrama-like dates over any other kind I guess🌱🌱🌱
I hope that's enough to work with୧⁠(⁠^⁠ ⁠〰⁠ ⁠^⁠)⁠୨
it’s perfect, coco !! i hope you like your matches 💕😁 here we go !!
one piece
i match you with USOPP 🤎
Tumblr media
first of all, usopp is a sucker for partners who can give him words of affirmation. tell him he’s strong, you love him, he’s handsome, he’s your hero, etc + he’ll be putty for your molding. he also really loves to give words of affirmation, but that can only come after he’s gotten comfortable enough with you to show you his soft side. so the love language that he presents to you in the beginning stages of your relationship is gift giving! whenever he comes back to the sunny from little trips around random islands, he will always have a knick knack for you to enjoy. he’ll puff up his chest + tell you about the seven foot, five hundred pound man he had to fight in order to get you that gift! so you better be grateful.
a relationship with usopp would include all of the fun in the world, but also lots of cuddles and sweetness. once he gets to know you + comes to trust you, he wants to do absolutely everything with you! come sit next to him while he fishes, while he tinkers with new gadgets, while he’s relaxing on the deck in the sunshine. sitting next to him during meals is a must, too, because he wants to whisper little jokes about other crew members to you just so he can see you giggle.
usopp really learns to refine his romantic qualities when he’s with you. he had never really thought of himself as a romantic man until he met you, but ever since then, he’s found himself wanting to pick you flowers, make you little gadgets to help you with daily life, and let you lay in his lap while he massages your scalp. for the very first date that he took you on as an o f f i c i a l couple, he took you to a clearing filled with yellow and orange daisies. there wasn’t really much planned out besides that, but from the way you smiled from ear to ear and hugged him tightly, he felt as though he had taken you out to a five star restaurant.
pls crochet him a hat. he w i l l wear it + treasure it like luffy treasure’s his straw hat.
haikyuu
i match you with HINATA SHOYO 🧡
Tumblr media
oh god, being with this man would be a whirlwind, wouldn’t it? but it’d be so fun! you can’t find someone more affectionate than shoyo + he wants to shout his love for you from the tops of every rooftop he comes across!
shoyo loves to hold you close or be touching you in some way while you draw. it’s something he thinks is very intimate; he’ll lay his head in your lap, drape himself over your shoulders, cuddle up next to you then peer over your shoulder to watch you work your magic. whether you drawings be on paper or digital, he will ask for a copy so he can look at them whenever he pleases. he absolutely loves your drawings + he thinks its so cool that you can create something just like that!
you want cutesy dates? you got cutesy dates! he takes you to every sweets cafe he comes across. seriously, any time he’s going somewhere new + he comes across a place he thinks you’ll like, he’ll take a photo of it so he can remember to take you there on your next date! he’ll order a bunch of sweets for you both and lay them out on the table so he can take adorably aesthetic photos of you with the food, which he’ll later look at when struggling to decide on which photo he should set as his new background/lock screen.
Tumblr media
a/n: are you even surprised @ your one piece match up, coco? you knew it was coming LOL. i hope i did your boy justice !!  anyways, i hope you loved it 😁

I SAW YOUR TAG FOR CENTAUR TREY AND YOURE A GENOUS OR HOWEVER YOU FUCKING SPELL IT!
I bet he would be like a beautiful race horse, but he isn’t competitive, everyone says it’s a waste to live in the forest and bake when he’s so fast, and handsome! He’s better than some actual derby centaurs! But he just chuckles and says he prefers the simpler things in life.
I bet his dad was a work horse, so Trey is also HUGE. A gentle giant, always super careful of where each hood gets placed so he doesn’t squish any plants or animals. He keeps some extra treats specifically for passing deer, some birds, and even some village kids who sometimes wonder into the forest! He always makes sure to lead them back home, sometimes even carries them on his back if they get tired.
He has a lot of saddle bags he likes to use, tending to his garden he keeps many of the weeds to either eat or fertilize, but he’s gotta separate them, and keep his own tools in reach, and the treats for the kids, and his own lunch! It’s a lot of work but worth it! I bet he bought a special one for when he goes into town from Vil, it’s just a bit nicer than his scuffed up old ones he tends to use.
He has a nice little cottage, single story, with a warm fire that he cooks on, true cottage core man! Jade is jealous! He’s got books galore, and I bet he presses flowers to give to some of the kids and grannies when in town! He’s a heartthrob! Bet he even gives some flowers to Vil for his own work, or just for fun!
Drider Rook totally comes over and helps put up some bug catchers to help protect Trey’s garden from any pests, and Trey repays him with some baked goods. I feel Rook would like potato bread the most, he seems like he would enjoy bland things for some reason…
Picture Centaur Trey getting excited though and clopping his little feet and whinnying, but then he gets all embarrassed and blushy right afterwards!
Help him brush out his tail please? It’s probably hard to reach, Vil sometimes will braid it for him but he’s not around all the time and Trey always feels bad when Vil comes back later and it’s a mess. He gets a flustered if you put flowers in his tail too I bet!
I bet HES scared of horseshoes, he grew up in the forest and the thought of something being nailed into his hood freaks him out, so he’s just extra careful. But when he does get a split hood, you drag him to a furrier, and hold his hand while he gets fitted. Each clang of the hammer makes him jump.
Afterwards you go to a nearby bakery and get him some sweet cakes to make up for it, and don’t tell him you have to return in a few weeks to check on the hoof…
CENTAUR TREY ID SO FUCKKMG CUTE PLEASE ph my god he's literally the village's favorite neighbor i just know he helps everyone carry things if they need it (especially disabled and elderly people) he's so sweet and gentle and the children especially love him. BRAIDING HIS TAIL (#+$2+#+#+ i can totally imagine him laying down on the floor while some of the little neighbors braid flowers and pretty jewel on his tail 😿😿 i love centaurs so much trey would be an amazing one

Hi again!! 😁 I don’t mean to stalk you over here from ao3 but your response made me laugh out loud “never thought I’d be so happy to see a bare ass” 🤣🤣🤣 I have to tell you again how brilliant the second chapter was and the line from aemond “I wanted to get what I deserve” “what do you deserve?” “You, I deserve you, and all you are” 😭😭😭 my god that was good and then the come and get it asdfjgdsdhj I died lol also I can’t wait to read the one on one lucemond moments coming up in the next chapter written especially for your *checks notes* babyworl hahaha hope you’re well and have a lovely day 😊 *slowly walks backwards into the shadow of your bathroom corner*
PLSSS stalk me. You can follow me around and pin pieces of my hair on a secret wall hidden by a revolving bookshelf.
THANK YOU SO MUCH HNKNLFFNR for enjoying and commenting on my chapters, it means the world to me. I’m sorry I didn’t respond for the longest time, I actually don’t check my inbox that frequently bc I’m not used to getting asks, HOWEVER that will change because I feel awful about missing this. Like I said, the bare ass of your profile pic is like a shining beacon of light in a snowstorm. I didn’t say that exactly, but that is what I meant. It was between the lines. I also JUST posted the third chapter so I do not return to you empty-handed!!
I am so glad that you liked the second chapter of The Miracle Wife, and found that link about what Aemond ‘deserves’—what he wants is obviously not what he gets, and I like the idea of Lucerys as this visage telling him very ominously that he’ll get what’s coming to him. Aemond wants to interpret this as him getting what he thinks he’s due, obviously: a life with Luke that he never got to live, for them to be together and sequestered from the evils of warfare and family and the monarchy, but his little cottage core fantasies will, of course, be slowly degraded by his consciousness. I think Aemond is a sad, wet, pathetic man who has all of these fantasies he runs through his mind and gets lost in. Maladaptive daydreaming is his hobby and it distorts his perception of what he thinks he ‘deserves’—also, I feel like GoT plays with this idea, too, in that so few characters get what they deserve (good people get beheaded, cruel people get the throne, etc.) but they undeniably get ‘what’s coming to them’, as the consequences of their action or inaction will always circle back around.
I hope YOU are well and have a LOVELIER DAY. (Fun fact, I am actually typing this crouched on the shower floor of my dorm bathroom, so if I look past the curtain around the corner and you’re actually there, I will say hello).

hi, my name is astrid , i make a poor attempt at writing ff, judge me, send feedback, tell me my grammar sucks, hangout or whatever! my ask box and dms are always open. let's be friends :)))
⋆ ★ little things I'm working on ⋆ ★
(none of these are published yet but i need to hold myself accountable or they never will)
Youth 1976 - (canon divergence, marylily) this is Lily's coming of age story, it focuses mainly on Lily's relationship with Petunia and her struggle to balance her life in Hogwarts and her muggle life but it also explores fun little things like first loves, platonic love and female friendships.
Lonesome Town - (canon divergence, jegulus) in a universe where the war ended before they could get involved, The Marauders and their friends decide to spend their first summer after finishing school in a house in the middle of Northern Italy that Sirius inherited from his uncle Alphard, they do not expect to find Regulus there though. inspired by Before Sunrise (kinda)
Myster Inc (working title) - (wolfstar) my beloved Scooby Doo Au. The 6th years are granted permission to go on a field trip to an ancient magical village full of history during spring break with the condition that they will not slip away to the muggle town within is hidden. But Sirius wouldn't be Sirius if he didn't break the rules, and he somehow finds himself playing detective trying to solve a series of mysterious disappearances.
Mystery Inc 2.0 (working title) - (wolfstar, jegulus, modern muggle au) same concept, different universe. The Blacks have always been very involved in the politics of Grimmauld Cove, it's no secret they run the place. But when this promising young politician outsmarts Orion and Walburga, Regulus finds himself trapped in what can only be described as a cult and it's only a matter of time before his life is in actual danger, so with no other ideas he sends a message to his brother who left home years ago asking him to save him.
⋆ ★ a bunch of little ideas I've had ⋆ ★
Marylily Little Forest au - Mary goes back to her little hometown in the mountains after losing her job in the city, this is literally my cottage core, ghibli inspired Marylily fic
The Rest Of Us Just Live Here au - The first Wizarding War is going on, Frank Longbottom is the Chosen One and the marauders are just there, not involved just watching everything from the background, dealing with their own shit (being gay). Will probably be the mythical aroace Lily ff
All in the Golden Afternoon - Magical Petunia au (I'm actually already writing this one I call it my practice ff and I love it very much)
If you find any of these interesting ask me about it!!! let's be friends and talk about ff together!
