AITA for not wanting to babysit my nephews?
Before you judge me based on that, I know how bad it sounds - there is a lot of context behind it.
So, I'm 17 and in my last year of high school. My older sister, Hum, 23 and has two kids, both under the age of three. I have a younger sister too, CJ, who is 16.
(The father of Hum's kids is an asshole, which is why he is not mentioned. His family is the same.)
A few months back, around early November, Hum asked CJ to stay with her kids in the car while she went shopping for food (CJ has a boyfriend that lives semi-nearby that she usually stays with on weekends). Now I know that it sounds reasonable, but CJ later told me and our parents that Hum had borrowed money from her (100+) and is yet to pay her back.
Hum does not have a job, and gets money from the government to keep her and the boys healthy and happy (roughly 1100 per fortnight, with a varying payment each week). She often complains about being out of food or not having enough money to buy things that she needs, which I understand but whenever I stay with her she always has a cupboard and fridge full of food.
CJ said no, because she wanted to stay at her boyfriend's house and because it's common for Hum to take a long time to shop and get things that she doesn't actually need. This caused Hum to essentially blow up at her, calling her a slut and saying that CJ only ever comes around anymore when she gets something out of it (which is a lie. CJ has spent probably the most time with Hum and the boys just because she wanted to).
Now, my parents and Hum have always had a rocky relationship from when I was younger, enough so that Hum stopped living at home at roughly CJ's age. They've mended it in the past few years, but Hum does still occasionally argue with them or text them hurtful things.
When CJ told our parents about what Hum said to her, they confronted her about it. It eventually got into the family group chat, where I tried to calm the situation down by defending CJ (Hum proceeded to tell me to "get a dick") and stopped when our father told us to just go to sleep and stop interacting with Hum.
The next day she blocked all of us on everything, and the next time we heard from her again was around Christmas. We have a yearly lunch at my Gran's house, and we weren't sure if Hum was going to attend. She eventually did, and it was fairly civil.
She never formally apologised, as far as I know, but we're all on generally good terms now. During the school holidays just passed, Hum asked me on multiple occasions to come to her house and help take care of her kids for the night.
I used to do it often before the big fight, so the request wasn't unusual, but I still felt weird being around her due to what happened. Hum's told me about what happened at home when I was younger, but she also has a habit of blowing things out of proportion or lying/telling an exaggerated her side of events.
The most recent was a week or so ago, when Hum showed up at my house to take me to hers. I was not aware of this beforehand and tried to say no a few times before caving and going with her. Legally, she has to have a night away from the kids for her mental health, so it feels really bad to deny her that, even though I had holiday homework to catch up on that I intended to do.
Even though I have stayed with Hum for a lot of nights, I feel horrible about myself when I say no to her since I know that that's just how she is. I know that she's getting help for her BPD and trying to be better, but it's just uncomfortable for me to be around her sometimes.
And I love my nephews, but I am not mentally equipped to help take care of them very often. I suspect I have autism, and find it difficult to take care of myself sometimes, especially when I get frustrated (which is inevitable when taking care of a toddler and an almost-toddler). And I was very stressed at the time due to the upcoming school year, so my fuse was a lot shorter than usual.
What are these acronyms?

So, I have been thinking about your post about Legend and Wild looking almost like twins, Legend being Life, and Wild being Death and I can’t help but think about which of the heroes would be associated with different season. I wanted to share my thoughts: what if Wild was associated with Spring while Legend is associated with Summer? Legend is a god of growth, which takes place mostly over summer for crops and such. Wild, I tend to associate not just with Death but also Rebirth, which would fit a Spring association. Wild cares for the souls of the lost til it is time for them to become something new. Legend as summer and life, leads them on their path.
I also tend to associate Time with Fall (the old tradition of time gods being associated with harvesting) and Twilight is the one most fit for Winter cause I honestly couldn’t remember who else would be associated with that season.
Fun fact! This HC was running around in my head with almost the SAME BLOODY THOUGHTS!
I saw it a sort of different way though, because yeah, Legend would be Summer, all color and life and growth and warmth, but Wild? Wild is Fall. Fall is beautiful and nostalgic, it holds a sense of sadness as the year draws to an end, but that doesn't mean it's not happy and warm and cider and cocoa and crackling fires and crunchy leaves as well. Fall is a time of Death (the leaves die, hunting begins, gardens wither, grass turns brown) but its a beautiful sort of death that is still full of life in a strange way. And that is Wild, that is Wild so much because yeah, he's dead, he died, what came back isn't the same and he's still sort of dead (if only the man he used to be) but he's warm and happy and sweet and wonderful all the same, even though he's dead. Like crunchy leaves that whisper under your feet even though they died weeks ago.
But who is spring? Which Link is rebirth personified? Hyrule! Hyrule is like that first blossom of spring, that first patch of green grass coming up from the slush and the snow. Hyrule is a bright ray of light light in a dark world that promises that morning is coming, that the winter is defeated and it's now time to rebuild and recover and grow again. He's the one from a world still in darkness, still in destruction, a world worse off than any of the others', but it's growing again now it's recovering again now. It's still leafless trees and brown grass and barren land, but there are flowers here now, see? There is a patch of warmth here and the land is recovering, it's coming back, it's not blossoming yet but it's getting there! Hyrule is the Spring as it creeps in with slush and mud and wet and rain and only hints of the beautiful color we all long for. He's messy and raw and real and natural and beautiful not in the way we're looking for, but what is most needed.
I don't know that there are any heroes that fit the feel of winter, of death of the land but joy within, the sparks of warmth even despite the freezing cold, the brightness of a holiday amidst the death of nature, but that's okay. The Life Cycle in Mythology comes in three stages, not four. Life, Death, and Rebirth are all key. I have no clue what other stage in life there could be, but yeah.
They be Spring, Summer, and Fall, and I love that for them :)

The Marauders
Summary: Heading to Hogwarts for the first time, Remus tries not to let his worries get him down. He has a lot on his plate—truths he can’t share with anyone—and none of it is helped by the bullies constantly casting jinxes and calling him nasty names. Despite it all, though, he has his three best friends—the first friends he’s ever made, in fact.
Yet, it doesn’t take long for Sirius to start getting suspicious, questioning what strange sickness could be keeping Remus in the hospital wing for days at a time. Ever nosy, Sirius takes it upon himself to unravel the mystery that is Remus Lupin, unaware of the tortured consequences that come with knowing such an intimate secret.
A story about the Marauders as they navigate their school years and set off into adulthood.
Year One: The Marauders and the Shrieking Shack - Chapters 1-34 Year Two: The Marauders and the Counting Curse - Chapters 35-?
Start Reading Here
Chapter 16
"Okay, so let's take stock," James said, the four of them sitting on a set of stairs leading out of the castle. Lessons were over, but Sirius had "accidentally" dropped one of his recently acquired Double-Decker Dungbombs near the portrait hole. And seeing as these were strong enough to knock a person unconscious, avoiding the area was paramount. Less on the threat of fainting and more so because they didn't want to be blamed. Hopefully, their house would fault a Slytherin.
"Of what?" Peter asked.
"Of where we are on Plan Slither-In," James replied.
Plan Slither-In was how they'd recently begun referring to their Slytherin revenge attempts. James said he'd come up with the name on the pretense that they were going to be sneaking into the dungeon dormitory, but Sirius couldn't shake that there was something inherently dirty about it. He giggled every time one of them said it.
"I think I've almost got the buttons perfected," Sirius said, quite proud of his accomplishments. "They smelled a bit like my shampoo last night." The smell he'd had James transfer to his practice packet for experimental purposes.
"Good, very good," James decided. "I've got the smell spell down, I think. My mum taught me how to turn it on and off during the holidays."
"Brilliant," Remus said, smiling. He was a week and a half off the full moon now, which meant he was feeling much better. He was closer to the new moon than the previous full moon, Sirius noted—nearly to the sweet spot. "I think I perfected the permanent sticking charm just this morning," he continued.
"Were you the one that stuck Snape's cauldron to the wall outside potions?" Peter asked.
"Yeah!" Remus smiled wider, which had Sirius smiling too. Remus very rarely offered up bright, genuine smiles. But learning a new spell—especially a difficult one—would definitely put him in a good mood.
"Slughorn was still trying to get it off this afternoon, when I went to see him," Peter said, snickering.
"Must really work, then," James said and reached out to pat Remus on the back.
"What about you, Pete?" Sirius asked. "Getting anywhere with your bit?"
"Slughorn still doesn't think much of me," he admitted glumly. "But I asked Sprout if she could maybe give me a tour of the greenhouses and said that if I stopped by this weekend, she'd be happy to. Hopefully, she'll take me around to the plant we're looking for."
"Perfect! All good news," James decided. "Now all we have left is to somehow link all the packets together, so we can turn them on and off at the same time."
"I'm sure there's a way to do it," Remus said. "Something in the library, probably."

IT’S NOT TIME YET
(commission for a friend)
- I was inspired to write this but after leaving it a few days I wasn’t motivated anymore to end this. The Idea was cute, but I don’t feel like keep writing at this story.
I feel his hands travel down my back and then down my hips forward under my huge belly as I lean on the kitchen counter. I can feel the bottom baby pressing against my pelvis. While a massive contraction is going over me, he carefully grabs my full stomach and slowly lifts it to take this load off me for a short moment. While Jack, my boyfriend, is doing this, he kisses my neck and then slowly puts the weight back on me.
„I heard that should help. As long as it doesn't get worse, we won't do anything for now, do you understand me? There's still a few days of vacation and you agreed to come with me so I don't have to cancel it with my friends and not so you can give birth to our twins, yes?“
His hands slowly traveled up around my stomach until they pulled over my chest and he then grabbed my neck with them. I give a slight moan from me. He's right. We are here for a guys vacation. To party. To celebrate.
„It’s not time yet“ he whispers into my right ear before biting my earlobe lightly.
After I confirm this with a nod, he takes his hands off me and walks to my left through the large glass door which leads to the pool and his friends, who are already waiting for us with backpacks and other beach stuff. What I haven't told Jack, however, is that these contractions have been regular since yesterday morning. But he's right. I can't show any weakness now. The twins won't come until we're back home. I just take a step out the door and immediately notice the hot sun hitting me. It's a super hot day. I wear boxer briefs that fit tight on me. Jack said yesterday that would be totally sexy.
The beach is super crowded. there are people all around us and when my friend is playing volleyball, david, one of our friends, comes over to me and sits on my couch while i'm still struggling with the contractions. He sits to my right and circles his hand over my swollen baby bump.
"Hey I need to talk to you because with you I know I can trust you."
I take a deep breath and say, "Sure, go ahead.“
„I found out last week that I'm pregnant too. Four months aleady haha. I think I'll tell everyone after the holiday." I noticed that David has gained some weight in the abdominal area. I could already imagine something like that. I thank him for his trust and he goes back to all friends. I can't play volleyball anymore.

🧸💎💐 :3? for anyone!
okay, so...
decided to choose Toshikazu Hazamada, from JJBA. he's special. one of the first JJBA characters i fell in love. one of my first F/Os... yeah. decided to put Sakuya too, for the same reason, she was one of my first F/Os.
Tumblr media
🧸 - what is a song that reminds you of your f/o everytime you hear it?
for Hazamada, it's Happy ni Naritai (ハッピーになりたい) by Nanawo Akari and Boring Life (マンネリライフ), also by Nanawo Akari. both songs talk about solitary, sloppy characters living boring/nasty lifes. Hazamada fits SOOOOO much with those! (content warning for happy ni naritai: it shows suicide scenes such as the main character hanging herself).
for Sakuya, it's Bloody Devotion by Akatsuki Records (and one of my favorite songs from this circle!) and Now, Become the Arrow Tearing the Night by AbsoЯute Zero. now... oh god i think i must rant about this.
look, i just LOVE this both songs. yes they are made specifically for Sakuya, as you know most Touhou songs are based in one or more character theme songs. and oh my god. i just ADORE how those two portray Sakuya. i like how the first one portrays her as someone threatening, who would kill especially for her mistress. and the second one shows Sakuya in a more serious manner, in her loyal, cold way, still being faithful for Remilia. oh my god i love when Sakuya is portrayed like that instead of the typical "moe girl who's often just seen as female dio/pad jokes".
sorry the long rant...
💎 - what is your F/Os preferred love language?
Hazamada loves touching, but doesn't like being touched. he's kind of a pervert, so in the beginning his love language was touching me in more than a romantic way, but when i tried he would feel kinda uncomfortable. i always let him touch me, hug me, kiss me, because it makes him more comfortable. after some weeks being lovers, he actually let me touch him, so i started doing the same: giving kisses, hugs. that's how i like to show my love, giving him the most of affection that other people are too stupid to give to him. if most girls hate him, well, fuck them because that means i can give more love. i love my silly little incel boy <3
as for Sakuya, her main love language are roses. Scarlet Devil Mansion is full of flower gardens (although is Meiling who mainly takes care of them), and Sakuya enjoys giving me some roses. most are red, but she knows how i also love white and blue roses so she made sure to get those for me. Sakuya also told me she got a hobby for botanic after that, and Meiling helps her a lot!
she uses her time powers to make flowers bloom faster, and to have more time to wrap them in a bouquet for me...
💐 - what's your favorite season versus your f/o?
well, Hazamada told me he's very much a fan of fall, he says it's not too cold, but also not too hot, the perfect balance. and honestly it's my favorite season too! i just love how the landscape changes to brown, not a very strong tone of brown, but a very comforting one, mixed with red and orange - and it's also the time of my favorite holiday: Halloween! we both love this season, and it's the best time to relax outside with him, we sit on the benches and look at the town in autumn season, it makes me want to kiss him more...
(although... we don't have much variation of seasons here in Brazil... and Halloween is not popular here too... people here are too religious and see Halloween as a demonic thing...)
Sakuya, however is more fond of winter and spring. Winter is cold, yet calm in her opinion – probably the worst thing winter can have is the fairies being annoying or *cough cough* a ghost girl stealing spring season *cough cough* – it's not too hot, the ground, despite cold, gets a lot more fluffy. and i told Sakuya how i love her winter maid uniform along with that scarf... aa for spring, she grew a liking for it after she started to give me roses. not much to say about it. she also likes the cherry blossoms falling from the tress in some areas of Gensokyo.
Tumblr media
well, that's all! it's so long i know and sorry! but i really hope you liked and thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Thess vs A Return to Normalcy
Updates from the workplace, and the news is ... for once, not terrible.
See, turns out that Scruffman came in on Sunday, along with the other part-timer (who has been petitioning for more hours and I think she's going to get them at this rate), and really registered the massive dent I made in the backlog. Because seriously, that whole week we went from just under 300 to just under 150 and that was about 95% me. So we're finally back down to the low-mid double digits in terms of the size of the typing queue, and I have a feeling Scruffman had a general sense of, "Ooh. [Thess] did a lot. [Thess] should not have been doing that much, I know that."
Scruffman does not have the best communication skills, mind - especially not over email. He sent an email going, "Give me a bell ASAP" and actually included his number, which I have had stored on my phone for literally years, so I thought there was going to be something urgent and horrible. Because, you may recall, he was going to touch base with me today about potentially having to drag my poor fibro-riddled carcass over to fucking Hampstead owing to lack of bums in seats. I was concerned that this was going to be a call where Issues were brought up.
However, no, this was his way of saying, "I has a concern and want to make sure you're okay after the hours you put in last week". I didn't pull punches, either. He asked how I was doing, which is how he starts all telephone conversations, really, and I just told him, "I seriously overdid it last week". I could hear the gears turning as he was going, "Oh. Yeah. Oh, right" before moving on to the whole thing about the various unexpected absences.
So ... turns out that Violet, Goblin, and Temp are all out at the moment, though Goblin and Temp are apparently coming back on Friday. He's got Other Part-Timer coming in tomorrow, so it's really only Thursday where there might be a requirement for me to come in. But apparently that's only if Scruffman himself takes ill or something else goes entirely to hell. It was pretty clear that he was trying desperately hard not to make me go into the office, particularly after the couple of weeks I've already put in. He also recognised that I do more typing when I'm at home than I do at the office, and then surprised me further by going, "I don't necessarily mean overtime or anything!" like he very much doesn't want me to have to do any more of that either.
So the overall gist is, "Things are back to normal, we will try to manage things without forcing you on to public transport, thank you for all the help and we promise we're not going to make you do too much more of that!" I'm not sure what happens with my overtime - whether it's Time Off In Lieu or actual money, but I think I'll find that out when Head Honcho comes back from his own holidays ... or rather, when I come back from mine because he's away until next week and I'm off next week.
I very much need to be off next week. I haven't fully recovered yet. But at the very least my house is full of nice foods to have that don't require too much in the way of cookery. I did up a pork roast last night so I have leftovers from that. There's a roast chicken that's good in the fridge until Friday, which gives me time to do things with the leftover pork roast and with the duck legs and pork chops I got on sale with this month's grocery shop. But tonight, since I am exhausted (whoever was typing with me today also left me with the longer bullshit - thankfully there were no ten-minute atrocities but if I see one more placenta report this week I'm going to lose my damn mind), it will be leftover roast pork with mashed potato and an asparagus/tenderstem broccoli medley, with an appetiser of gluten-free mozzarella sticks (which, yes, still have the lactose issue but I have Lactaid so I can still have my breaded hot cheese) and possibly a salad. I did actually eat today! Okay, not lunch, but two pieces of gingerbread as breakfast went really well with my morning coffee.

When Daniel is pregnant in Mobverse, do any of the other puppies wonder where pups come from? Or why Mama gets a pup in his tummy. And so often! Now that would be funny—I bet Terry would tease Danny to death about that.
There's a pup in Mama's tummy? Like his tummy where his food goes? Way to give Eli a freakout. As in huh? How did it get there? Can he get a puppy in his tummy? How do you mean 'we're not sure yet'? When will we be sure? I thought Mama went away to get a new puppy sometimes! How do you mean "Daddy put it there"? Mama, Sammy's being mean!
Sam, Yasmin and Robby could be easily appeased by, "When Mamas and Daddies really love each other, Mama can feel in his body that he'd like to make a puppy with Daddy sometimes. And when that happens, Daddy takes Mama to a safe and quiet place to help him. And Mama keeps the puppy safe and warm in his body until they are ready to come out," if they even asked. And they're like, OK with that because they have lives, yeah? They know when Mama needs a little extra care and help because there is a puppy in his tummy, they're very careful at those times (Robby is very careful anyway). But there are more interesting things in life than puppies, OK. I mean babies are cute and snuggly but they don't really do anything.
Not Eli.
Eli first sits there with a thousand yard stare. Then, in the following weeks, he needs to know everything. Absolutely everything. He's been anxious with Mama and Daddy away on holiday and then Mama gets back with a puppy in his tummy and not like in a cot like all the other times? (Again unlike the others he never asked.)
What? How does that work? No, exactly. Mama, you need to tell me now. No, Mama, I need to know. Does it hurt? Are you going to die? What's a womb? Do I have one? What does gestation mean? Yes he looked that up. Mama he's freaking out. He's four years old and he can read. Yes he's more or less taught himself. Get back on topic!!
And when he's made himself a little expert on omega biology, even if he doesn't understand everything yet ("That's OK caro, we all need to learn some things before we learn other things, it's like building a house that way"), he goes full on bodyguard. Mama is in danger. Mama is compromised. Mama could get hurt! And when he sits there clutching Mama with a determined little face when Terry comes home and Daniel is like help, Terry first puts Eli in his lap and tells him that it is Daddy's responsibility to protect Mama, not his, and that Daddy is working very hard to keep them all safe, but he's like: "You're lying!"
Death glare: "What."
"You put it there!"
Eli is sent to his room right now but Daniel is howling with laughter, definitely Alpha, that one, good God and he means well, Terry and Terry is like "This is harder than business" and they hug it out and he later manages to convince Eli that Mama wouldn't expect a puppy if it weren't safe and they didn't all love each other so much but when Anthony is born Eli is almost more relieved than Terry.

Sorry I haven't been here, two of my aunts that I despise are visting and stressing me out (one of them literally tried turning me against my family when she SUED US for firing her shitty ass husband who stole from our business, she lost the court battle btw because she was full of shit), they both basically just abandoned their own father to die and suffer in early onset alzheimer's and dementia, so myself and my family were paying for all of his care and socializing with him on our own- i was working AND going to college at the same time. They both did NOTHING to help and even dodged his attempts to see them 'one last time' out of fear and selfishness.
One of them is just lazy and entitled and sedentary and doesn't take her diabetes seriously (she doesn't test or blood sugar or use insulin and eats like a pound of chocolate that she FORCED MY MOTHER TO BUY HER while we were gift shopping) and chain-smokes. She literally took like ten steps outside and claimed she couldn't continue to walk on the trail because of her diabetes, but was perfectly okay to like eat almost an entire apple pie during holiday dinner (in addition to like eating CONSTANTLY throughout the day) and drink six whole bags worth of my coffee in a single week. She also doesn't know how to do ANYTHING, she tried to open a mustard bottle with a KNIFE.
The other won't fucking shut UP and is loud, loves to pretend she's the center of attention and is 'so funny' while keeping her also loud ass phone notifications on so she can ignore us mid-sentence to talk with all her 'friends' and dementia-addled husband who refuses care.
One of my aunts won't leave because she's 'visiting all her old friends in Cali' while eating up all our food and forcing my mother to sleep on a couch, the other won't leave because she 'lost her confidence' after someone side-swiped her on the freeway here and doesn't think "she's ready" to fuck off back to Oregon yet.
I had an extreme manic rage episode and immediately had a come down where I became acutely suicidal, so I've been in emergency contact with my psychiatrist and am trying stronger meds to try and deal with this situation from hell.
I just don't have the spoons to write right now. I want to, I love you guys and I want to come back, but until this old bitches vacate my home, I'm in a constant state of elevated stress and annoyance. The only way 'down' from that is being slightly LESS stressed/annoyed/angry. Imagine feeling that way for like 2 weeks straight and getting no sleep on top of it and that's basically what I've been trying to deal with.

Foster Household: Chapter 6, Part 2
Reece is trying to practice football as much as he can before he actually has a practice to attend.
Tumblr media
Happy to report I clocked both Paris and Deanna still crushing on each other despite it being several in game weeks since I played Deanna's household. They are so adorable. Fingers crossed the sentiments stick around for when I next get back to the Yorks.
Tumblr media
Cannot emphasize enough how less creepy the teddy is than the doll.
Bob: What about you Charlie? Giving Harvey any grandkids soon?
Harvey: Bob she's only 24
Charlie: I don't think I want to be pregnant so only time will tell
Harvey: Don't feel like you have to have kids
Tumblr media
Carson: Hey mum
Kayleigh: Yes
Carson: The other day at recess I was all by myself and I wasn't sure what I should do when that happens
Kayleigh: Go ask some other kids if you can play with them, bravery has its rewards
Carson: Okay
Tumblr media
Reece: You're a professional athlete, you must be able to throw a football with me
Charlie: Toss it
*Charlie ducks*
Reece: What was that?
Charlie: Sorry! I am clumsy, maybe that's why I couldn't catch it
Reece: Why do these interactions keep failing
Charlie: No clue bro
Tumblr media
Reece: Thanks for trying
Charlie: What can I say, I'm more soccer than football
Harvey: DINNER EVERYONE!
Charlie: Come on, I'll race ya
Carson: And then, then, the scout leader said to throw it in the trash. Cardboard, in the trash!
Reece: That's basic of him
Tumblr media
Kayleigh: Not everyone understands recycling
Harvey: I mean the only proper recycling bins are cc
Carson: So we should just keep throwing everything away into bins that never get collected and never get full
Reece: Ummm
Charlie: There are recycling machines though, right?
Tumblr media
Carson: Machines, not bins. The recycling happens too late
Kayleigh: I'm pretty sure the eco footprint doesn't get impacted, no matter how much rubbish we produce
Carson: Ridiculous
Reece: I mean why should our environment be negatively affected because our plumbing breaks
Tumblr media
Carson: Because that's life, the more waste we produce the worse the world gets
Charlie: Dam when did you get so heavy
Carson: I just don't want the global boiling to get us
Harvey: Son, we're sims, global boiling will not get us
Reece: But how do you know
Tumblr media
Kayleigh: That's not helpful Reece
Reece: Excuse me for thinking
Kayleigh: Carson, we do what we can, and hopefully if other families do the same then the world will get better
Carson: You're right, at scouts we should get the message to other families to try help
Tumblr media
After dinner Reece goes for a run because despite playing football with 4 people today he has a tense moodlet from not having enough exercise? Doesn't make sense to me either.
(Me from the future. It was a glitch. I forgot Reece doesn't actually have the active trait so definitely shouldn't have got that)
Harvey does a spot of night fishing and these views always take my breath away.
Tumblr media
Kayleigh: Where's Kaori?
Charlie: Spending time with her grandparents. They're getting old and she's worried about how much longer they'll be here
Kayleigh: After losing her parents who can blame her for that
Charlie: I know, thanks for not being dead mum
Kayleigh: I do my best
Tumblr media
This week's holiday is named Is It Spring Yet. Occurring on the last Sunday of winter, goals include healthy cooking, fasting and exercising. It's meant to be the opposite side of the coin to Food Coma day, and I was hard pressed to think of 16 legit holidays.
Tumblr media
Kayleigh tries to sunbathe. I loved getting the massive skintone update. It does mean my sims tans have unpredictable outcomes though which can be good or hilarious. Carson has also entered a Clingy phase. And the tan is... not the worst one I've ever seen I guess. I might need to darken her hair though...
Tumblr media
Football captain Lilith has accepted Reece's invitation to hang out. After some less than stellar practice Reece takes a selfie to try boost friendship, alas that feature doesn't work anymore, sorry mate. Try a conversation instead.
Tumblr media
Lilith: I hope you improve before practice
Reece: Fitness is a weakness of mine but I love wellness so
Lilith: Different ball game kid. Is that your mum running in this heat?
Reece: Yeah, we're a fitness centric family
Lilith: That's good, it'll help
Reece: Any other tips
Tumblr media
Lilith: Spend some time at lunches practicing with Samir, you need to get better aim
Reece: Right, I guess I'll do that then
Lilith: Smile kid, none of us start out perfect at anything
Reece: True
Lilith: I can tell you want to give this a proper go so keep practicing
Tumblr media
Carson: Reece! Reece! Help me ride a bike
Reece: Scouts over already?
Carson: Yes. I achieved my aspiration this morning with level 10 motor skill but I still can't ride a bike
Reece: How embarrassing for you
Carson: Huh?
Reece has begun a mean phase, fingers crossed it's short
Tumblr media
Lilith: Is this fish burnt?
Harvey: It's intentional
Kayleigh: We have other food if that's no good
Lilith: Oh no Mrs Foster, it'll be fine. Reece you didn't say your mum was a celebrity, this artwork is amazing
Kayleigh: Thank you dear, feel free to visit anytime
Tumblr media
Charlie decided to visit after dinner so we invited Keira over and the siblings all had some catch up time. Charlie and Reece have the "childhood buds" status while Keira and Reece are "super siblings". #Parenthood has so much detail, definitely my favourite game pack!
Tumblr media
Reece: Hey Samir, Lilith said I should talk to you about football practice
Samir: Why
Reece: I'm on the football team now
Samir: Oh
Reece: I think she was hoping you would teach me some skills
Samir: Lunch, club room
Reece: Huh?
Samir: Practice
Tumblr media
Reece: No, I meant to say I didn't realise we had a football club room
Samir: Football and cheer. Technically.
Reece: So it's bi-purpose
Samir: Umm, yeah, sure
Reece: Did you say at lunch?
Samir: Problem?
Reece: I normally use it to eat, you know, lunch
Tumblr media
Reece: Do you not eat lunch?
Samir: Big breakfasts
Reece: Will I fit in food
Samir: Probably
Reece: So there's no don't eat for an hour before football rule
Samir: What?
Reece: You know, like don't eat an hour before swimming
Samir: I gotta... go do stuff, see you then
Reece: Bye
Tumblr media
If you're thinking why is this conversation so awkward, Reece developed a crush on Samir after literally saying ONE thing to him today. Samir is a loner so is pretty much constantly tense at high school. Reece saw my plan for a quick week and said nah I'm the star

Journal Four
The CNY holidays felt like it flew by quick. Did I have the most eventful holiday? No, not really but it doesn't deter from the fact that I appreciate long breaks. Something about where I just don't have to think about going through the motions of life and just be; the break from it all is well cherished. It doesn't mean that the holidays were 100% uneventful though.
What was initially planned to be an Art Jam session ended up being a small gathering for dinner with close friends. While I do love the idea where you can relax and do art together, the company shared over a warm meal was still a welcoming experience (albeit a not so welcoming experience for my wallet but sue me they had unagi and I haven't had it in years).
The unagi was really good but I can't say I feel the same for the pasta it was paired with. The pasta itself was also pretty spicy so it was a good thing I ordered some honey milk to ease the heat for my palate. Would I go there again? Sure! They had tons of other food items I haven't really explored yet. Would I get the pasta again? Probably not. There was an unagi burger and I couldn't help but feel that maybe I should've ordered that in the first place. A note to myself for next time I guess should the opportunity arises.
It wasn't a full blown hangout but we had fun conversing and enjoying our meals, snuck some bites in of eachothers' dinners. Walking around just to take photos of each was also fun. I told myself I would update my Instagram more but are we surprised that I want feed to look in a particular order before I upload the set from this outing? Definitely not me. (Probably not some of my close friends if they're reading this blog though har har.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also went to my mom's hometown Ipoh just a few days after said outing. We had dinner with my aunt and cousin and the tom yum and lamb we're really good. We went mostly because my mom wanted to check in with her sister to see how well the progress for my cousin's wedding was doing. They didn't look like they were under too much stress so that was relief to see.
I didn't stay for the wedding itself but from what I saw on my cousin's Instagram account, it fit her retro aesthetic really nicely and her photos looked radiant. I wonder if I'll look like that if I ever get married.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Overall it was a pleasant break, though I do wish I took advantage of the time to do my own personal creative projects like oh I don't know, start scrapbooking even though I have been telling myself for years to start but never actually getting around to doing so. I also invited a friend to see the new Spy x Family movie but I'm pretty tight on money at the moment (thank you capitalism and your crippling chokehold on attracting me with your cute and aesthetic merchandising ways).
I hope the screening is still available early next month. Should I just watch it this coming week anyway? I feel like this blog is slowly becoming a food blog to be honest. Not that it's inherently a bad thing; it's just not quite me. Well you're definitely not finding out about the movie in this entry. 'Till next time my dear reader.

Hello 2023...
2022 was full of twists and turns, both good and bad, but through the tears and the laughter we made it. I entered 2022 as a Miss and am entering 2023 as a Mrs to Be! ;)
How was my skin over Christmas? Well, I've always heard others that are going or have been through steroid withdrawal say that there's such a thing as an 'anniversary flare' however I've never been one to go by myths or have had one however it was this time last year when I really started struggling to control my condition again and after having a severe water infection and an allergic reaction to the antibiotics prescribed leaving me no choice but to turn to oral steroids which led into a nasty relapse of Topical Steroid Withdrawal despite being promised by a doctor in A&E that this would not happen because "they are oral and not topical". So yes, I am experiencing an 'anniversary flare'. Luckily this has only affected my face and neck.
They have both taken a bit of a beating the past week or so and 2 days ago I woke with a lump in the front of my neck, just a little bigger than a pea size, tissue or gland feeling that does cause me a little pain.
Tumblr media
Just before breaking up for the holidays I caught Tonsillitis and a nasty Flu Virus causing me to be given more antibiotics, then just days before Christmas my Nan was admitted into hospital very poorly alongside me having a lot of work related stress and just every day life wearing me down a little so this may be a swollen gland. Swollen lymph nodes and glands are a symptom of Topical Steroid Withdrawal and Eczema but one I've never really had so I will keep an eye on this...
What products am I using this year? I am still using and will continue to use Cerave Moisturing Cream as an all over body and face moisturiser and have found this effective in the icy cold days this winter as it has helped protect my skin barrier. My face doesn't react as well to this as my body however I am still yet to find a good and effective face cream. Any recommendations appreciated! :)
Tumblr media
From this dried out little face, I wish you all health and happiness for 2023 xxx

meep meep meep! OP i am metaphorically kissing u on the mouf, your hc are SO good and your ship dynamic is literally how i see nagisho, your brain is so fucking galaxy tier, incredible. do u have any specific requests for the scenarios for og hanging out and/or nagisho? if not i'll just pull something outta my voluminous asshole but if you have any particular scenes that you'd like to see written, hmtfu (hit me tf up). also LEGIT thank u for the ramble, it's so much fun to see + read ____〆(✧ω✧)b
aaaa tysm!! i'm so glad i wasn't boring you (xwx")
svdkhskxng HMM my head is always so full and yet so empty...
for the OG gang hanging out: i always like to see reunion-type stuff! i think neo really missed the opportunity to go hard on how much everyone's grown in the last few years, and how badly they missed each other; i wish we got more on what everyone's been up to and how they've been coping without Neku. i especially feel like we didn't get to see nearly enough of Shiki. like, girl owns a BUSINESS now?? that's seemingly successful?? where's Eri??? (it's my personal hc that Shiki and Eri are running the business together, share a place, and are fairly well-off. Not mega rich or anything, especially cuz we don't know how far gatto nero reaches outside of Shibuya specifically, but i think they're doing really well for themselves... and that Shiki helps Neku initially afford a place now that he's back hdjdhjfy.)
with the OG gang, it's v comparable to when you meet someone in an unexpected place, hit it off, and then you don't get the chance to see each other again for a long time, maybe even ever. You had so many memories in such a short period of time and you can't help but wonder what life would be like, sometimes, if they were still in it. i think Shiki, Rhyme and Beat would have that feeling about both Neku and Joshua; wondering where they are, what they're up to, if they're safe, wishing they were here, etc. Perhaps moreso Neku than Joshua, since Joshua is a shithead and seemingly left a pretty iffy impression on them? but I'd like to think that they all consider him in a well enough light deep down, that they'd be open to getting to really know him.
As for NagiSho... i already rambled a bit about how i headcanon their relationship would be in nature so i'm not sure i have much new to say on that front shdjhdg. i think any noodle-incident type scenarios with them are gold, they're at their best when they're causing problems or being openly weird together (we love to see aut4aut representation).
OH a hc about sho that i've incorporated that i think you'll find funny: So, yknow how in a new day, Ramen Don is Sho's dad? i think it's most funny for that to still be the case in the regular twewy universe, and it just doesn't come up because he's too busy trying to murder some slightly younger teenagers. He still visits Don for the holidays, and he doesn't know Sho is dead or a reaper or anything; He was concerned about Sho disappearing for long spans of time, and all the Tattoos he was showing back up with, and freaked out thinking his son became a yakuza. He's FAILED as a FATHER. Sho gets a thorough lecture before finally cutting his dad off and saying he's not a part of the fucking yakuza, he's just an artist, and god dad you don't understand me at all--
And then suddenly he shows up with his girlfriend and then leaves after like 40 minutes of arguing because it's all so annoying and he didn't actually care to tell Don about Nagi because it's not his business and it becomes like a Whole Thing. And Nagi is just sitting there eating curry like what the fuck do you mean this is your dad?! i've been eating here every week for the past month!!! i was in his brain and you weren't there at all!!! what's going on!!!! she's dying inside.
ANYWAYS... no specific scenarios for them unfortunately but i trust you to come up with something regardless of what u go with, tysm!! i can't wait { @ ò ꈊó @}

tonedeaf
masterlist | 1k prompt masterlist | baby series
request: Helloo there! Can I request an hc of a s/o reader that doesn't know how to sing/is bad at singing but wants to sing with diluc, kaeya and zhongli? Ive seen a lot of hcs about readers good at singing but I'm personally not good at it and quite insecure abt it so yeaa. Thank youu✨✨- idk how anons work but ig ill be 🦔 anon
pairings: diluc, kaeya and zhongli x gn!reader (seperate)
kaeya
You were drunk the first time Kaeya heard you sing. And Archons, was he glad you wouldn’t remember him doubling over with laughter. He loved you, adored you, but he would be lying if he said you could sing.
“Thank you to Venti the Bard for performing with me tonight,” You slurred, holding onto a chair to steady yourself. Venti was drunk himself and probably thought you sounded great with his clouded mind. The only reason Diluc hadn’t kicked you out yet was because you were extremely entertaining.
Kaeya watched in horror as you climbed on top of a table, flipping an empty wine glass around to use a microphone, and belted out another chorus to the popular tavern song. It was so horribly off key that a few patrons had to plug their ears.
“This one is dedicated to Kaeya,” You continued. Your words were mixing together and Kaeya was, still, shocked you only had a few shots. “He’s my cinnamon roll.”
Kaeya cocked his head at your pet name but didn’t have time to process it before you nearly fell off the table and made your way towards Kaeya. You wasted no time in throwing your legs over his lap and leaning into his touch, all the while singing the same song.
“We should get you to bed,” Kaeya whispered in your ear.
His words angered you and you flung yourself away from your boyfriend. “But my set isn’t done!” You cried out. You gripped the wine glass tighter and flung around, pointing to a random knight and singing directly to him. The knight burst out laughing, tears forming in his eyes from laughing so hard, but you didn’t realize what was going on.
Kaeya heaved himself up and wrapped a strong arm around you, prying the wine glass out of your hand. You hit one last high note, which made Kaeya visibly flinch, before bursting into a fit of giggles.
“I’ll be here next week!” You yelled as Kaeya dragged you out of the tavern.
diluc
Ever since he was young, Diluc liked to sing. It was a private affair, of course, but if you asked Adeline, the maid could tell you hundreds of stories about his symphonic voice. When Diluc finally showed you this secret side to him, you were amazed. And all you wanted to do was sing with him.
The only problem? Singing was not your forte. In fact, you sounded like a dying cat when you sang. So, as much as you wanted to join in when Diluc hummed to himself while washing dishes, you refrained so you didn’t burst his ear drums.
When you came home from work one day, you weren’t surprised to see Diluc singing while he cleaned the windows of the Winery. Despite having an entire team of maids, Diluc still wanted to help out.
You recognized the song immediately - it was a popular holiday tune - and hid around the corner so you could beam in secret. When Diluc saw you, a smile spread onto his face and he beckoned you near him.
“Sing with me,” He encouraged, putting down the rag.
You wrapped your arms around Diluc’s neck, “I don’t sing.”
Diluc pressed his forehead against yours, “Why?”
“Because I can’t sing.”
Your boyfriend only smiled deeper, “You don’t have to be good at something to have fun doing it.” Before you got a chance to respond, Diluc started to sing the next line. His voice trailed off at the end and, knowing what he was hinting at, you picked up.
Even the visible wince that crossed Diluc’s eyes didn’t stop you and soon you and Diluc were whirling around the living room, singing horribly off-key to the song. Diluc didn’t seem to mind your horrible singing voice, considering the fact his face was lighting up like a sky full of stars.
zhongli
Singing in the shower was your safe haven. You knew you couldn’t sing well and the thought of anyone hearing you was horrifying, but in the shower you could hold a million concerts and no one could say anything about how you were tonedeaf. That is, until Zhongli came along.
When you moved in together, Zhongli took notice of your shower singing. He kept quiet about it for a while, not wanting to embarrass you, but eventually brought it to your attention.
“You know I can hear you in the shower, right?” He asked as you both got ready for bed one night. His words caused you to freeze.
“That wasn’t me,” You stammered, your face turning red.
Zhongli queried, “No? Then who do you have in the shower with you?” You said nothing and quickly got into bed, throwing your pillow over your face. You felt a hand rub your back and peeked out from underneath the cover, “It’s not a bad thing.”
“I sound like a tormented dog,” You muttered, “It is a bad thing.”
“But you have a good time, right?”
You threw the pillow away to look up at your boyfriend with confused eyes. “What are you talking about?”
Zhongli’s hand found your hair and twirled a lock of it between his fingers. He looked at you with admiration but you couldn’t seem to figure out why. “I love seeing you enjoy yourself, Darling,” He said gently, “It doesn’t matter if your singing doesn’t sound good. If it makes you happy, then that’s all that matters.”
Your cheeks grew warm again and this time you buried your head into Zhongli’s chest, “You’re too kind.”
He chuckled, “Though I do hope you’ll sing a song to me one day, instead.”

Oh God, do we get split personality frat boy Kate where she's immediately a responsible adult around her younger siblings????? Like "our parents are divorced and busy trying to one up each other professionally all the damn time so I guess I'll fucking raise you with the babysitters. 😒" GIVE ME THE DYNAMICS!!! PLEASE!!!
Kate meets Melina and Alexei almost immediately. Not because Yelena wants to but they show up unannounced at Yelena's place one day and Kate is there and it just...happens. Couldn't help it. She wouldn't change it (I mean, maybe just to reduce the amount of fucking mayhem) because she loves that they get along.
Yelena doesn't meet the Bishops for A WHILE. And she starts to take that shit personally. Like..."Damn is this bitch embarrased of me? They live in the city too. There's no reason I shouldn't have met them yet." Holidays happen and Kate spends time with Yelena's family but she NEVER even invites Yelena over to hers. Never comes up. It's like "We gotta go to my mom's in the morning and will be there until lunch then go to my dad's for dinner for a bit and then I can come to your parent's."
Kate leaves the room when she takes calls from her parents. Yelena knows there's WEIRD tension with Kate's seventeen year old brother. She's heard them arguing on the phone a couple times. But but BUT she does know Kate has a ten year old little sister who is basically the light of Kate's life. She's seen Kate talking to her on facetime and has seen her in the stands at some of Kate's matches. But if her little sister is there Kate will like...become distant. She'll take her sister to ice cream or dinner after games and just be like "See you at home later?" and bail on Yelena. And Yelena is like "?????????????"
Kate's dad is getting married again for the billionth time. Kate doesn't mention it but Yelena finds the invitation and it's like a week away. She finally blows up and she's like...
"BROOOOO...am I like not good enough for your fancy family or something? The fuck?"
"Leave it alone."
"Nah, what's up? You know my family but I don't know jack about yours. Wtf my dude?"
Yelena keeps pushing and Kate finally blows up.
"My parents are raging Republican homophobes who are in denial about me being bi and are still convinced that I will end up with a guy. The one time I openly dated a girl they cut me off from my little sister. She's the only good, normal thing in that clusterfuck we call a "family" and I can't leave her alone with them. She has no one to look out for her. My mom is more concerned with what the world thinks of how she lives her life than actually living her life. My father spends his time either too busy running the company or too busy having sex with anything that has a pulse to care about any of us. And that is how my brother ended up with a massive coke and pill problem that no one has seemed to notice but me. But I can't do anything about it because he's never listened to a single fucking thing I say. So yeah, you didn't know a thing about them and that was intentional."
Kate storms out of the apartment and doesn't come back for like a day and a half. Shuts off her phone. Goes full ghost mode.
When she comes back she's like: "They're the ones who are not good enough for you. I can't bring you into that fucking mess. I wouldn't do that to my worst enemy. I would bail out of it if I could but I can't because they're my family. I won't do that to you."
And basically Yelena is like: "YOU DUMB STUPID SILLY LITTLE BITCHHHHHH...I should have a choice in the matter...no????????"
"You don't get it..."
"YOU don't get it. I'm all in. For the crazy and the messy and the bad. I've held your hair back while you throw up chunks of mysterious, undetermined things after RIDICULOUS UNSUPERVISED spring break bets. You should know this by now. A bit of family drama sounds like nothing by comparison."
Then Kate basically spends the entire night filling Yelena in on AAAAAAAAALL of the bullshit.
"Still sure you don't want to run for the hills?"
"Feet planted firmly on the ground. No running."
So Kate is like..."You wanna come to a wedding then?" And Yelena is like 😳😳😳 "Let's meet the Gazillionaire And Ultra Fucked Up Bishops I guess."
AND THEN AND THEN AND THEN...come wedding day...Kate has to go get ready with her family to avoid drama that morning because she's about to DROP A NUKE when she walks into the event with her fucking secret girlfriend in tow so Yelena doesn't see her until she's already glammed up.
Yelena has met College Mess Frat Boy Kate Bishop but she's never met Family Heiress Katherine Bishop and especially not Formal Event Family Heiress Katherine Bishop. So when...THIS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
walks out to greet her outside of the venue Yelena literally almost drops to the ground in free fall. This bitch is like "DID I JUST GET REVERSE CATFISHED?!" Jfjajfjakfjkakdka
As they're walking inside Yelena whispers into Kate's ear: "After whatever THIS is...if I ever see you leave the house in a wife beater again we're going to have issues."
Kate just laughs and keeps walking. She was back to walking around in them again like three days later lol.
