This is some truth laid down right here boy.

[quasi-normalcy]

Millennials have essentially been forced into a perpetual teenagerhood by socioeconomic circumstance, we desperately want to grow up, and we’re worried that we’re running out of time to do so

OC Questions

After seeing a lot of the same questions in OC asks, thought I’d write a few of my own lol. Send an emoji and and for which OC:

🩸 - Does your OC believe in blood being thicker than water? (meaning family relationships and loyalties are the most important)

✂️ - What kind of thing would have your OC cut someone out of their life? How likely are they to let someone back in?

🎭 - Does your OC show different sides of themselves to different people?

🩺 - Does your OC accept help easily? Are they willing to admit when they need help?

💡 - How does your OC enact plans? Do they plan down to the smallest details, or do the wing it?

🌋 - What’s your OCs temper like? Are they a slow boil, or an instant explosion?

⏰ - What is your OC like at timekeeping? Are they punctual, or always running late?

🎁 - What kind of gift-giver are they? Do they give thoughtful gifts? Expensive gifts? Practical gifts?

📎 - How organised is your OC? Do they keep on top of responsibilities, or leave things to the last minute?

🧸 - On a scale of 1 - 10, how ‘soft’ is your OC? 1 being the edgiest of edges and 10 being a literal teddy bear that cries at everything? (Bonus questions, where on the scale would your OC place themselves, and where would they like to be on the scale?)

💬 - Is your OC much of a talker? Do they only speak when spoken to? (Or not even then?) Do they ever talk over others?

🌅 - What is your OCs favourite time of day? Are they a morning person or a night owl?

🥦 - Does your OC eat healthily or live off junk food?

🍹 - Does your OC drink? If so, what’s their drink of choice?

🍺 - What kind of drunk are they? (e.g. talkative, sleepy, flirty etc.)

[switch-625]

Because I totally don’t have some sitting in my drafts already. Send me some of these? Choose a character, or don’t. Or choose more than one? I don’t mind! get me back into writing. =)

[switch-625]

I’m sorry, not sorry.

Y’all probably came here for sims stuff or something. Instead you’re being shown a video that I literally just discovered for a song that I’ve had stuck in my head for two weeks since my friend David sung it on one of his live streams. 

It’s half Italian, Half English. I don’t understand a word of the Italian, but the translation is kinda cute. Vieni Con Me translates to Come With Me. 

Apparently my music taste has expanded to include Italian pop/Dance music. (:

Quarantine Q&A

• Are you staying home from work/home?

Yup. I work in a pub kitchen. They’re all shut. XD

• If you’re staying home, who’s with you?

My mum and dad. Although they could potentially be going back to work in the next couple weeks. 

• Are you a homebody?

I don’t go out as such, except to work. But I haven’t seen my best friend in three weeks and I MISS HER. I was also supposed to be going away for Wrestlemania weekend to see a dude. But that didn’t happen. 

• What movies have you watched recently? What shows?

Dr Doolittle (Rex Harrison), Saw it when I was wee, but wanted to see it again. The DVD had been sitting in my wardrobe for about a year. The Seven Year Itch - Uh... Marilyn Monroe is ADORABLE, okay? But... odd movie.

• An event you were looking forward to that got cancelled?

Wrestlemania didn’t get cancelled. But my trip to go watch it with a dude did. It was very weird watching it on my laptop. But better than nothing. 

• What music are you listening to?

My ‘Happy Doof’ playlist. And my buddy’s livestreams. ;)

• What are you reading?

Actually nothing. Which is pretty bad. But I’m gaming a lot more. 

• What are you doing for self-care?

Hmm... Not a lot? To be honest just not being at work is sort of self care for me? I’m staying off the caffienne though, which was a big thing. I’d already been off the Monster for a couple weeks when isolation kicked in. I’ve had three monster coffee’s since it all started, and they’ve been about one a week.  I’ve also started having video chats with a friend. I mean, so far it’s always been him calling me, but that could be changing this week. Wish me luck? 

I was tagged by my netmum @desira-sims

I’ll tag: Nobody. Because I have no idea who has and hasn’t done this. If you wanna do it, go for it. <3

[switch-625]

Thought I'd check in with y'all.

I'm doin okay.

Better than okay tbh.

Not really doing much in the simming vein.

I haven't forgotten the Jacobsen twins bc. I promise. I just have rl things to sort out first.

I'm re reading my story and falling back in love with the characters. I still very much identify with Jonno, and Myles. 💜

[beachdeath]

do kids these days know about grace kelly by mika

[beachdeath]

[emmorgzz-deactivated20180313]

WHAT. IS. THIS. SORCERY.

[kierpenta]

1. i can’t believe there are people in the world who haven’t heard this

2. go check out mika he’s great - important to note is that he’s mlm (he’s come out alternately as being gay, bisexual and ‘not interested in labels’ for a while) and a huge amount of his songs are about being mlm so in particular if ya need good mlm artists check him out

[thesylverlining]

Seriously Mika is a gift and sunshine unto this sick sad world

[postillfastill]

mika is wildly popular in europe but his north american fanbase is like, six people and a napkin, and it’s killing me. 

ALSO, he came out as bisexual/‘not interested in labels’ like a decade ago, but much more recently he came out as gay, so he’s gay! his latest album, No Place In Heaven, is almost completely about being gay. it’s got a song abt his sexuality and his religion, a song abt pining for your straight best friend, a song abt the music world that includes the lyrics “where have all the gay guys gone?”, a song abt gay and lesbian solidarity, a song abt heterosexual expectations from family, and two songs that are just abt being super ridiculously in love w your partner.

please listen to Mika’s entire discography because there are a LOT of classics that i’m 100% sure you’ve heard at some point in your life, all the love songs are implicitly gay, it’s great, but ESPECIALLY listen to No Place In Heaven (2015).

[stolligaseptember]

it always surprises me to remember that mika isn’t actually a part of the global populace’s general consciousness

because his debut album, life in cartoon motion, was such a huge part of my generation’s tween and teen years

like, i guarantee you, you can walk up to any swedish millennial, and they will still know every single line of his song lollipop

it was just a part of our upbringing;

become a crippling anxious mess

develop an attitude problem

and memorize all of mika’s lollipop

[kawaiimiraclecloud]

This is so strange for me ‘cause here in Italy Mika has a show on one of the main tv channel

I just love him sooo much ❤❤❤

[kurosmind]

I just want to point you all to this masterpiece: 

[nothing-mancer]

I’m American and he’s so obscure and niche here. Seeing people talk about how much they love him and how everyone around them knew him growing up makes me very happy. His music was honestly such an integral part of growing up for me but most people I meet don’t even know who he is.

Now everyone go listen to Mika immediately

[quellthefire]

I remember being 16 and dancing to Grace Kelly in my best friend’s living room and screaming the lyrics and just feeling so okay in that moment. Mika is one of my favorite memories of that era in my life

[random-fireworks]

He’s wiiildly known here in France (he’s now a coach for The Voice France btw) and most kids my age when I was a tween/teen knew his songs, if only because they kept playing on every radio (srsly I can’t even imagine that some people have never heard Relax, Take It Easy?????? It was literally EVERYWHERE here, you couldn’t escape it) and it was pretty awesome because his songs are absolutely wonderful and he is a pure ray of sunshine (also getting emo to Happy Ending and By the Time, that was an experience). 

He’s such an important artist who should be recognized outside of Europe too, because besides the fact that his voice is OUT THERE, he’s very vocal about minorities, about who he is, and about celebrating differences; plus his mother is Lebanese, his father is American, he lived in Lebanon, France and the UK in his youth and he speaks fluently six languages he’s a pure example of how being open to the world only makes us grow and makes it a better place 

Please, yes, if you don’t know about him go listen to his songs, you won’t regret it. I kinda want to link all his songs because they’re all different and amazing but the ones above posted by the others are very good to start with and y’know what, I’ll just add one of my faves ‘cause it can brighten one’s day (also look up One Foot Boy pls though)

(Also he made a song with Ariana Grande based on the song Popular from the musical Wicked, how do y’all not know about that?)

[thelowlysatsuma]

also he’s like fucking trilingual and amazing and lots of Canadian kids learn about him via french immersion

[switch-625]

Omfg! I did jot expect to see mika on my dash today! I've been listening to him non stop since February! I was a fan years ago, but kind of missed out on the last two albums until recently?

My friend David does an *amazing* tribute show. It was him that reintroduced me. Said show was performed at a holiday park where the main age group were above 50 I'd say. Most of them didn't know any of the songs. My ex, who is in his mid/late 30s was there and the *only* song he knew was Grace Kelly. It blew my mind that he's only 6 years older than me, used to listen to the radio, and only knew that one.

Mika's music is, to me, fun, happy (for the most part!), comforting and just plain amazing. I *adore* his music. 💜

My favourites, in case y'all wanna know.

Stardust, big girl, happy ending, tomorrow, hurts, dear jealousy, blue eyes, rain, live your life, talk about you and good guys.

[switch-625]

I've been absent for a while huh?

I cant say I'll be back soon because I just don't know.

I'm doing a lot better than I was. A *lot* better. But I guess the things that changed in my life have had an impact on my writing. I just don't have the inspiration for it atm.

That doesn't mean i won't be back. I do still have stuff written that just needs screenshots and stuff but I haven't had much of a want to get in game either. I mean, I made a sim a couple weeks ago and he came out incredibly cute. But I literally just made him and then exited the game.

Bottom line is, I'm doing much better. Thank you for being interested and caring. It means a lot to me. 💜

I'll be back at some point. Until then, feel free to ask stuff. ❤️

[switch-625]

Boop!

Tucker was the moment he started was sneezing and Percy over here like I’ve so got this lets see if his perfectionist comes to play.

[switch-625]

Aww. My poor baby. XD 💜

[switch-625]

So... You probably noticed the lack of posts yesterday. Sorry about that. I didn't queue them from my laptop, and the app is awful and won't allow me to throw things in the queue from drafts.

Things will resume in the next couple days! 💜

[switch-625]

Most of the Guys turned up early and instantly made their way to the main hall and rocked out to the radio for hours.

After a while Ben, Cam and Lorie left the others and spent some time talking by the chess table. Nobody really played much though.

1, 3, and 41 for the boys. You know the ones.

1 -  What’s the first thing your OC thinks about when they wake up in the morning?

Myles - Duncan, and ‘Am I hungry? I think I’m hungry. Wait. No. I need to pee!’

Duncan - Do I need to be anywhere already? What time is it? Am I awake enough to think? Shit, is Myles awake and where he needs to be?!

3 -  Has your OC ever run away from a dangerous situation?

Myles - Thought about it. And then failed to act on it. Well. It wasn’t really dangerous as such, just... Not something he should have been doing. 

Duncan - Never really found himself in a ‘dangerous’ situation. Lucky boy. 

41 -  Is your OC patient? Why or why not?

Myles - Likes to think he’s patient, but he’s kind of not. Especially if he’s hungry and waiting for food to be delivered. He’s the kind of person who will sit staring at the little map showing exactly where the delivery driver is bouncing as they get closer and closer and shouting ‘NOW PLEASE’ at the phone. ( @kiwikirab94 He takes after his crazy aunt ;D )

Duncan - Is the patient one who will ignore the map on the phone and just wait for the doorbell to ring.
