protect her from me at all costs

(she/her) Sometimes I like things. Sometimes I don't like things. Never more than 3 at a time; my body isn't prepared for that. Rarely I post about the things I like. Sometimes I don't, though.

[driftedlav]

and now I'm super obsessed with clangen

[driftedlav]

remember when I complained about not posting and then just stopped posting? which you don't because nobody's gonna see this post

anyway this is what I've been up to instead

just a whole bunch of doll cleaning and general room cleaning, but dolls are easily the most time, space, and interest consuming part of it, which are pretty big resources for someone who's almost physically incapable of liking more than 3 things at any given time

and this is all I've wanted to do for the past week and a half

[driftedlav]

Have I mentioned how much I fricking love this absolute side character yet? She says, the household (albeit a month and a half) after showing how much she fricking loves this absolute side character.

[driftedlav]

J. was much more invested in his paper than the curtains: you can't keep money if you don't have any to begin with. He thought he'd get some peace at the library…

…Maybe.

I'd probably lose my mind from the cheerleaders, too. You know, if I didn't play on mute like a heathen.

[driftedlav]

"You know what, J?"

"You know what else they should say about people living in glass houses? Invest in curtains! You wanna go get some?"

"Not really, no."

"Alright. Thought it would help with the whole stealing thing…make you want to make your room yours."

Anyway turns out my loss of interest in ts2 was because I was embarassed by my progress, especially the parts that don't make that much sense where I'm currently at in the game, but either did at the time or build up to something fun. Probably obvious, considering I've been fairly defensive about that in my posts. Although TBF those do require at least some explanation.

But yeah, maybe if I'm publicly posting about my hood in public, I shouldn't feel that ashamed. Kind of goes against the whole point of making it public in the first place.

I think adding this tangent to this post is oddly fitting. Not planned, but fitting.

[driftedlav]

"How do you know about that?"

"You know what they say about people living in glass houses…"

"…They shouldn't throw stones?"

"They should hide their secrets in other people's homes!"

"I've never heard anyone say that, Kendra."

"Well, maybe we wouldn't be here if they did…"

The Worthington Household

J. [we call him "J." here because he refuses to address that the government spelled his name wrong or that his parents refused to fix it or that I just don't care enough about him to bother typing his name in full] had a mission to get into that Society. Thankfully, he met someone who would fill in in on who to contact, but only if he let her stay in his house. That's Kendra.

In the past year, it seems that a few Society members have noticed that cleaning your face has brought them a stronger connection to the Watcher or that it can be easily used as an excuse to control the other members, so they brought a new rule to enforce such face removal [as shown by Anna occasionally and Kendra removed hers while I was loading the household]. This was a rule J. was not yet aware of, but Kendra put him in the know.

As iconic as the extra thick brows are on him, and as funny as I think giving him a thick eyebrow textures to emphasize that his face naturally has them, the no eyebrows is also kind of a look on him.

He doesn't get it, but if it helps him fit in...

I really see a minor but semi-annoying visual glitch and say "yep that's lore now." instead of fixing my fucking game.

Also spoilers: He is so dying this round, I say in future tense like this wasn't 3 months ago, but you're not supposed to know this anyway. It's pretty obvious given how little I care for him: I just never get good ideas for what to do with him post-uni, so I decided not to limit my options to 0. But trust me that I had an inuniverse plan because I just don't like killing sims because I don't like them.

Flowers to finish the semester!

Honestly, I don't keep track of uni performance outside of grants [until I give it to them], probation, and whatever I need from memories. They all passed, though.

Crystal and Demi are dormies and this was their first playable semester, so I took my time to decide their majors, which I can't actually assign until semester 2 because of my first 2 hours rule. Crystal will take Biology and Demi, Philosophy.

Oh also I made them both in the same semester as Blossom [so they all just finished Sophomore 1] because they were already around by the time they were made playable. It just made sense to me.

[driftedlav]

The girls were doing their normal stuff when the phone started ringing. Of course, as she's the one doing nothing, Demi got it.

Yeah, that's not awkward, Demi's friend who she flirts with sometimes and her girlfriend is not his friend and also likes to flirt with him sometimes or something IDK what's going on there. Seriously, I can't get over how much appeal my Aldrics have consistently had to my "weird people", evil, or otherwise mentally unstable sims and it ruined him for me.

"If you feel trapped in the dorms, you can always come over here! We're not that far; it'll be fun: just you, me, and my 2 girlfriends who are in the same room as me right now...no, that's not weird." Not at all, Demi.

Which is why he probably thought you were joking and couldn't be bothered.

[driftedlav]

My favourite redhead lesbians named Crystal playing lesbian basketball together in their accidentally matching tracksuits! the joke doesn't work as well this time

Guy is seeing double. It creeps him out.

[driftedlav]

But William didn't leave: Blossom's now the only one home now.

"Hi."

"I didn't know you and Demi moved out together."

"Well, it keeps you away from her, doesn't it? Okay, it doesn't when you're here, but you don't live here so that doesn't matter as much as it did in the dorms. Right?"

"I guess I can thank you for that."

"See? I'm helping!"

So the ice broke, or rather, they learned that it never froze over in the first place. Because you can't say the water broke in this context. Really. I love mixing metaphors, but you have to know what you're implying when you do. Catching up on how things have been was easy, and Blossom learned that not much has happened in the dorms either [technically, nothing has because of how this game works, but that's beside the point], outside of the new students.

[driftedlav]

"You don't work for all student residency; you can't just come here and tell me what do do!"

"If I told you what to do, you would have paid those bills."

"I did pay the bills! You just saw me do it!"

"So I can tell you what to do."

"If you could tell me what to do, it sure wouldn't be this!"

It turned out Nicole was right: all it took to beat him was time and patience seriously fights last so long in this game.

[driftedlav]

It appeared William was getting sick of the dorms [I mean, why wouldn't he be? Everyone hates him and it's his fault] and thought to spend some time with one of the few people he can actually tolerate.

Yeah, but she's in class, so he instead gets greeted by her girlfriend. The one who hates him [and it's his fault].

"You breathe so obnoxiously"

"You know what that word means?"

"Yeah, I know what obnoxious means. I've lived with you."

"No. Breathe."

[driftedlav]

Puddles

[driftedlav]

"I heard about you and Will. How did you beat him?"

"Being better than him. If you're trying yourself...honestly? It doesn't take that much. You're good."

[driftedlav]

Demi wanted the skills to kill the wills of the Will who refuses to chill.

[driftedlav]

Really the sum of this household tbh
