guy whose childhood drags behind him like a dead body
#river dipping#simblr#ts4#ts4 edit#theodore doe#echthroi#i forgot to post this after sharing theo's birthday edit last night... listen i was so tired i just hit post and passed out#but so far today i've just been looking through character page themes for a bit and messing around with codes while watching dropout tv#i still need to get to my activity feed sometime today or tomorrow and then i want to set aside some time to just hang out on here#and catch up on things like i keep disappearing and missing out on posts jgkhjfnkh so i gotta do that...#but i'm actually fighting off the world's biggest nap rn..... my meds work really well but lord i'm still so tired all the time woof#so i'll probably end up caving soon lmao#but!!! anyway!! THEO!!! there was nothing i could do abt the proportions on theo as a kid like i couldn't make his head any smaller...#the sims team actually hate me so bad and are trying to force the huge cartoonishly big heads onto my sims </3#also when i aged him down to a kid like all of his presets were gone so i just had to try and replicate them to the best of my abilities#his lip preset actually has a much deeper cupid's bow but thanks to the liquify tool <33333 it looks like his regular preset#i've actually posted teen theo on here before but i've made a ton of changes to him since then so this version is pretty different compared#to the older version of him at sixteen#he's definitely got more baby fat than he did before like his cheeks are pretty round#um. also i have these closeups i took of adult theo from the pose i made for his birthday edit that i gotta edit a lil and then post!!!#bc you really didn't get to see his expression or the actual pose that well and EYEEEE personally am really in love with the details#of the pose itself like ugh.......... theo is so.......................... yeah.#holds him

between willis and catherine being retconned into being abusive/neglectful, that fucking shoehorned talia romance, bruce having the character consistency of cottage cheese, and shelia's girlboss betrayal, what's really impressive is not jason coming back to life but how he seems to be holding the world reserve of shitty parents

For 5 ask game: how about an au where zuko and aang are both the avatar
1- "how does that happen" well, Aang half died in the ice burg. The subsequent water and earth benders were noticably weaker than previous ones, though this helped the water bender hide from the fire nation, and led to the earth bender one being killed by them... Just as Ursa goes into labor for the first time. Unfortunately, Ozai wants to use his avatar son and is very disappointed when Zuko turns thirteen without a sign of airbending- the sages promised this boy was the avatar!
2- Zuko is invited to war meetings, but when he tries to speak he is silenced- when he is actually the avatar, master of elements, he will be allowed to advice, trusted, but not yet. He can sit in silence for only so long, and finally breaks to say they cannot sacrifice the children of the fire nation like that- and he is sent away to the sages, who suggest investigating the Air Temples and seeing if anything there sparks bending in him.
3- it does, the barest bit exploding when he gasped at the sight of the bodies, when he caught the glimpses of spirits in the corner of his eyes. Zuko can't stay here and orders the ship to take him to the southern water tribe instead, so he can unlock water bending. That doesn't work, (and the village says there's no water benders left) but it's marginally easier to practice fire and air bending outside of the graveyard the temple had become. He trains for years, knowing there is no point in returning home unless it's as the avatar.
4- and then one day, Katara wakes Aang up. Zuko gets close hoping the light are spirits that will help him learn water bending, and then we get to the first real problem of them both being the avatar: only one of them can be it at a time. So, when Aang starts bending, Zuko suddenly can't, unless he can overpower Aang and leave him unable to bend as well. (Which he only manages with the highest levels of anger) um, the avatar state is the opposite - if one of them goes into it, the other is dragged along.
5- Zuko is now chasing them because he wants an airbender and waterbender teacher, and also see if he can figure out from the spirits why his bending keeps vanishing. Iroh keeps asking him how he's going to actually convince them to teach him after he captures them, and Zuko says he'll just figure it out then. Katara thinks Aang is proof that awful firebending prince was only ever a mock Avatar and the bending vanishing is just a side effect of being in an ice burg for a century. Sokka thinks they're all crazy. And Aang actually figures out what's happening very early but no one believes it because "that's not how the avatar works" even though as 50% of the avatar, he should be considered an expert!

Okay, finally perfected the design. The pink one was… a big wonky. Humpy back, wrong tail… but I have found a kind of satin that is up to the challenge so that’s cool. But baby rainbow isopod at the bottom has all the corrections. Now I gotta write a pattern, find a way to copyright it or something, put together a store, design a business picture thingy… I can’t remember what those are called… choose a site and start posting patterns. Yeah… piece of cake… ugh. It’s so much easier to sew plushies over and over…
But I continue. Next order of business is perfecting the roly polies so as to produce a more beginner friendly boy, with suggestions for cost reduction as well. And hopefully start on an arachnid next…

i think about that anon who said kevin makes drinks while jean cooks every day of my life. picturing kevin at his little bartending gig in the kitchen? holding the drink up to jean’s lips? no better image. i hope he is so happy
I KNOW..... there's something about kevin and i think kevjean specifically where any imagined domesticity between them is so rewarding after the mess of their lives :=) i love you kevjean cooking together but really, jean is cooking and kevin is sitting in timeout after his third attempt at eating raw bell peppers. i love you kevin making drinks and fancying himself a little joke that he's a bartender, using the shaker where jean can see it and looking up at him to see if he's laughing at his impression. i love you kevjean figuring out recipes together and staring at the dish blankly when it doesn't work out. i love you i love you i love you kevin washing the dishes and jean watching him from the counter, talking back and forth but not really saying anything of substance
if i think too much of it i get a headache i swear. kevjean i hope you get to flip pancakes together until you are old and gray. alexa fucking play teenage dream by katy perry or i'll kill myself

I feel like, if the Polar Tang had met a more natural end instead of the bullshit it got, the Hearts would have given her a sendoff similar to what the Going Merry got. Maybe not burning, since it's a metal ship, but likely something akin to a funeral. Said a few words, pay their respect, and either have her quietly sink to the bottom of the sea, where she was at home, or blow her up in a spectacular explosion. It would depend on what Law considered more fitting, what they had on hand, where they were, and if the explosion could take out a few World Government ships in the process.
After all, the Polar Tang was Law and the Hearts' home, just as the Going Merry and Thousand Sunny was/is the Straw Hats'. It was a part of the crew and nakama. I'm hoping that our stubborn and resourceful and vengeful Trafalgar D. Water Law will meet up with his crew on Wano and make Pluton their new ship so they can help wipe Blackbeard off the map, but the Polar Tang is still their first ship, and they would still hold it dear in their memories.
I just feel like the Polar Tang (and the Victoria Punk) deserve better. Ikkaku is absolutely heartbroken at her destruction, and would absolutely stab anyone who dared speak ill of her beautiful submarine or made light of her end.

WoLposting on main for what (and how) he's doing after Endwalker-
He's starting with changing his hairstyle from the long braid with bangs to a shorter ponytail/shaggy bob cut after Endwalker because it feels like. The end of an era. And he's mourning losing his friends' constant presence, a little (even if he and G'raha are now courting and being idiot catboys about it). It's just. Cutting away what was out of grief. He's losing the Scions, at least ostensibly, because they're all splitting up and going different ways, and he's. A lot lost without them.
But also the haircut is because he doesn't want to be some folk hero and only that. Like he's cool with it, but also- he wants time to be Corrain, to figure out who Corrain is. He became the Warrior of Light when he was seventeen and has been that ever since, and before that was just a Keeper foundling in Gridania trying to complete a conjurer apprenticeship so he could get citizenship - he hasn't had the time to figure out what he wants. And sure, being adopted by Edmont and House Fortemps helped - he had a home and a family and a nation finally, even if he's sort of in the same sort-of son category Haurchefant was - but he's got little snippets of Azem's memory bleeding through, he knows there's a wanderlust in him that won't settle, and he needs Corrain de Fortemps to be someone who has the space to find out who he is. And for that he can't be clocked as the WoL everywhere he goes!
So he takes a knife and chops off his braid and then Y'shtola and Krile find him sitting in front of a mirror with this awful fluffy mess and help him shape it better, and when it's long enough to put up he just ties it back in a ponytail. And he just- wanders aimlessly. He helps G'raha a lot, they're definitely dating in a Halone-sanctioned way lmao, and he trails around visiting Scions.
And he's almost invisible. The people who know who he is know Corrain and not just the Warrior of Light, and now the bards' stories don't describe him perfectly and- he's got space to breathe. Space to discover he genuinely likes archaeology and researching bygone eras and writing about them, space to go around and record the mechanical particulars of his forays into ancient ruins and alternate worlds and etc, space to polish his knowledge about foraging and botany and learn how to travel with cookware only and make meals from the land rather than carry food with him-
And all of this to say he finds that - outside of being the Warrior of Light - he genuinely likes the kind of adventuring that comes with learning opportunities. He likes studying the things he's found, likes the challenge of discovery in the first place. He likes the kind of work the Students of Baldesion do, likes working with scholars. (especially G'raha. Nobody saw that coming 🙄) And more than all that- he's genuinely good at it. He gets to realize a lot of his own archaeological/adventuring skill, while supplemented by time-period experts, is in fact it's own branch of knowledge.
So by the time Dawntrail kicks off - I think he's fully considering trying to write a thesis on it, and maybe try to see if Sharlayan would give him an Archon's mark about it. Sure- he's not a Sharlayan citizen, he has strong ties to Ishgard in the vein of being an adopted son of one of the four high houses. But he's also openly dancing circles around G'raha and Artoirel is definitely interested in having a no-inheritance-threat adopted baby brother with a foothold in Sharlayan and- well, House Fortemps approved of G'raha already anyway, they're expecting that to happen.
He's definitely found himself in a lot of ways by the time the next expansion will kick off. Of course part of that is being an actual adult and a twenty-something instead of a teenager, but also- coming to terms with being nine-fourteenths of Azem, coming to terms with defining himself rather than letting what he can do define him, coming to the realization that he's allowed to like what he does and who he is.
That the hope he found in Ultima Thule is actually allowed to feel like his own, and it's not selfish of him to feel that way. That he's allowed to live for himself.
And. Like damn. Finally! but also I'm proud of him. He turns out alright in the end.
Excited to start Dawntrail with this version of Corrain. He's just so much less- desperate to prove something. He proved everything he needed to prove to himself already. And now he finally just adventure for adventure's sake.

Quote
Sometime religious outsider and social disaster, sometime celebrity preacher and establishment darling, John Donne was incapable of being just one thing. He reimagined and reinvented himself, over and over: he was a poet, lover, essayist, lawyer, pirate, recusant, preacher, satirist, politician, courier, chaplain to the King, dean of the finest cathedral in London. It's traditional to imagine two Donnes—Jack Donne, the youthful rake, and Dr. Donne, the older wiser, priest, a split Donne himself imagined in a letter to a friend—but he was infinitely more various and unpredictable than that.
Katherine Rundell, Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne
#i fell in love with donne when i was sixteen and sitting in my literature twelve course#listening to the teacher explain the compass metaphor in a valediction: forbidding mourning#and i have loved him ever since#through the highs of finding him again in sayers#and the lows of a horrid graduate course with a pompous blowhard of a prof and an uninterested and even resentful cohort#and i was so so SO excited to learn that rundell was publishing a biography of him#built out of her own graduate work at oxford#because she is a brilliant children's writer and one can't be one of those without understanding something about the human soul#a necessity to really get to the heart of donne#because that of course is what he is preoccupied with whether he's thinking about sex or heaven or anything else: our humanity#and then i bought a signed copy of the book in london in may and i'm only starting it now#because i read the first sentence and knew that i was going to love it too much and i just had to save it#anyone else do that? such an odd impulse and yet one i can't shake#to hoard unread books rather than letting them become known beloveds#anyways#this post is mostly for these tags and somewhat as an intro for the next one i'm going to make#where she makese it clear in the paragraphs that come after this that yes she can be trusted with donne#and indeed she's here to make you love him too#currently reading#bookshops#adultbooklr#katherine rundell#super infinite#super infinite: the transformations of john donne#john donne#literary biography#quotes#nonfiction

My brain is so cooked right now and even if I could find the words to explain it my 84 year old therapist recently fell and got a head injury and was in the hospital for two weeks and will have two weeks more of PT.
