Blitz's Horse Ranch - Sims 4

I did it, I made a lovely little ranch for Blitz, Stolas, Via, & Loona. Here's some pics. (Horse count is around 30 last I checked, btw)

Exterior Shots: Front, Front Porch, Back - I'm not a great builder, it looks big but all of the rooms are somehow so small? IDK, but we ran with what we built. (also most intricate roofing job of my life i swear) Landscaping was done with Stolas in mind, I think he'd keep it all looking very pretty... I'll do the back at some point, plus probably put a little garden out there. We also have a telescope on the second story deck and a nectar making station for Blitz on the back porch lmao

Interior:

Foyer/Kitchen/Dining Room - I tried to pull in little pieces where I could, apart from all the horses, but also the polaroids & photos on the wall. (I intend to play with them, so all the blank frames are there to fill during gameplay.)

Informal Family Room - I spent like twenty minutes choosing a couch... this is about where I lost my commitment to using as much of the Horse Ranch pack as I could... I still think I used a whole lot, though.

Formal Living Room/Bar Room - IDK what this is, but I know Stolas got to design it (there's also a lovely bar back that for some reason just wasn't showing up while I was taking these screenshots?? It's not just that little bar on that side of the room I swear)

Guest Room (For when Millie & Moxxie come over) - Very simple, because for the most part this is just an extra room where I'll probably keep skill items.

Primary Bedroom & En Suite - Blitz & Stolas - I tried to really lean into a story here, I love coming up with a story as I'm building, and this story... well, I think it's clear to see that there were many battles when they were moving in together. Stolas won when it came to picking out furniture, but he obviously caved for some of Blitz's design choices... namely the monstrosity of a rug. He hates it because its' ugly, but he loves it because Blitz loved it enough to offer sexual favors for a month if they could buy it. (An empty bribe, it's not like that wasn't going to happen anyway.)

Loona's Room & En Suite - You can probably tell that I started getting bored once I got upstairs... I've been doing this for about eight hours, I'll definitely go back in and add more to the upstairs, but this is what we have for now for Loona. (Claw marks are there bc of nightmares, just so you have that angsty backstory I came up with.)

Via's Room - I feel bad because its so small, I'm already planning to renovate it, but this is what I got for now.

Stolas's Reading Room - This was the first room I decorated and it probably shows, but honestly I loved making him a little library/reading nook here. He also has a cow plant, and once it's seasonally appropriate in-game, he'll get a little garden out back.

I also made them and started playing (Blitz rescued his first horse, Sunbeam). This is the only screen shot I remembered to take, and Loona started walking away as I took it - rude - but they were all just sat together in the family room watching a movie it was so sweet!

I did make Stolas & Via spellcasters, and Loona a werewolf. (I'll have to throw my Angel & Molly into this save as their neighbors.)

patiently waiting for their power couple era

bonus little notes:

it was my first time designing an outfit for stolas! given the drawing idea is set in a future where he's perhaps "free" from his royal duties, i wanted him to have a more casual look, and dropped some layers (the undershirt, gloves and tights... or whatever they are) - but! i kept the drama of the cloak + got inspired by his outfit in apology tour and gave him a darker color palette! also his little shorts are very special to me.

my favorite parts to draw are stolas' legs, while my mortal enemy is blitz's tail - looks amazing but so hard to draw, for some reason.

i particularly love their glowing eyes, which the show emphasizes way more in more recent episodes!!

I’m terribly sorry, this art is absolutely phenomenal and I adore it (and I agree with your Feral Stolas Agenda) but now all I can think is “oh my lord, Mothman is a Goetia. Lads, we finally solved it”.

“The ‘o’ is silent”

Okay but why, Blitz. Why not just drop it entirely. Why not just legally change your name.

Maybe because in a Catholic exorcism, knowing the demon’s name is really important.

And sure, nobody’s ever going to be exorcising an imp, but rules is rules. Maybe the rules in Hell is: you cannot legally or fundamentally change your name. You can cross the “o” out, not pronounce it, tell people it’s silent, but when you’re booking that government-mandated Hellbies shot or putting in your CV to be a pop star’s bodyguard with a nice mostly-legal corporation, you’re Mr. O and you just gotta put up and shut up.

Hashtag shower thoughts ig.

[borderlinereminders]

If your parents or other role models modelled unhealthy coping and social behaviour for you, when you were younger, it may be difficult to know how to make healthy choices now. It’s not your fault if you learned those behaviors, but you have the choice to change now, and I believe in you.

Hello Helluva Hazbin fans who are 21 and older!

Brand-new server for your perusal and perhaps entertainment. There’s a plot! There’s verification! CURRENTLY EARLY ACCESS - we are small, but we very much plan to be mighty.

Headcanons and character exploration encouraged!

We expect and will enforce character-driven, high quality writing, but we don’t have a strict a post minimum length.

Friendly and engaged mod/admins, we promise! :)

WHAT'S GOING ON?!

Rumours have started to circulate that Lucifer and the Sins are in discussions to allow sinners into other rings. Nothing seems to be set in stone yet, but people are naturally keen to speculate. There’s excitement building as word spreads. This is a huge opportunity, after all. Think of the possibilities for business, networking, media, personal growth… And yeah, we have to mention that sure, fine, there are opportunities for redemption too, of course! You know, if you’re into that? But some are saying it could open up all kinds of new terrors too. After all, maybe there’s a reason keeping sinners and hellborn separate has been the status quo for millennia. And Heaven sure hasn’t forgotten Hell’s insurrection, either…

absolutely soul crushing to think stolas is, at most, 25 here, and talking about his life like that.

[arcadian-goetia]

also that he's telling her it'll be okay when he's gone.

Like. Why are you thinking like that at 25 (at most), sweetheart.

💖💕 “Kiss kiss” (+previous ones)

My late contribution to the #Fullmooncountdownkiss

[thats-a-mood-gabriella]

It's not just that Stolas, even while drunk and hurt, still tried to protect Blitz and make sure no one else at the party noticed him.

It's that Stolas, even while drunk and hurt, still took the time to say "no, Blitz, people DO care about you. To an almost scary obsessive degree, actually."

Like he heard Blitz talk down about himself and even after everything that happened, his first instinct is NOT ON MY FUCKING WATCH. GET LOVED, LOSER.

[matthias-mouse]

I know we're all focused on the growth that needs to happen for Stolitz to become healthy and get properly together, but I keep seeing people totally dismiss any character growth so far and I think we should take a minute to appreciate that.

Blitzø:

has dropped the "I hate this whole thing and you attitude" towards Stolas (Pretty much right after Ozzie's if I'm remembering correctly)

has clearly worked on improving his relationships to Millie, Moxxie, and Loona (is noticeably kinder to Moxxie, is treating Loona more like her own person, not stalking people anymore)

has made up with Fizzaroli,

Has started to take accountability in Apology tour for how he's hurt many of his exes (mostly Verosika and Stolas)

Is learning to express some needs and issues (though not entirely positively and he does need to work much more on this)

Overall, he's acting more invested in improving the relationships he cares about and has stopped running away and holding certain people at arm's length.

Stolas:

Has learned to stand up for himself

Has stopped dirty talking at innappropriate times

Has dropped the infantilizing language towards Blitzø (though side note: he seems to have trouble applying this skill to other situations, which is a flaw we'll need to see addressed)

Comes to the conclusion the deal isn't right, and ends it, giving Blitzø a way to earth that's unrelated to him.

Is learning to express some of his needs and wants in a positive (nonsexual) way

Overall Stolas is learning to walk the tightrope between being completely self negating (his life with Stella) and completely selfish (his initial behavior with Blitzø) and is starting to find a balance. He's also taken accountability for the flaws he's been able to recognize and has changed his behaviour and tried to make up for them.

Like obviously we're nowhere close to being done the show, and both characters still have some growing to do, but the characters have already come a long way from episode one, and I wish it was acknowledged a bit more by the fandom
