Every seven-year-old deserves a superhero.

my grandmother asked me to tell you she’s sorry

[ambulantwords]

You never say good-bye in the Land-of-Almost-Awake. You just say 'See you later.' It's important to people in the Land-of-Almost-Awake that it should be this way, because they believe that nothing really ever completely dies. It just turns into a story, undergoes a little shift in grammar, changes tense from 'now' to 'then.'

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, Fredrik Backman

two guards with suspicious marks on their necks, huh... i'm glad the outside world has been treating yall well! why would anyone want to date on the job, coworkers are Boring and Dull

Pauly: Yeah, haha, just... Good times, outside of Black Mesa. Security outings at local places really pay off, Backman would know. Looks like he got attacked by a rabid animal, haha.

I confess…

I just murdered some sims. It was time to get to canon in Riverblossom Valley. Ingmar’s sister and her husband perished in a fire, leaving Ingmar’s nephew Alex and his teenaged sister orphans. As soon as I got the message that Brandi and Skip Broke had tried for baby, Skip had a drowning accident. None of this actually took place of course since I used NRaas MC to do it, but anyhow… I’m a killer. But on the bright side I disregarded canon when it came to the Dreamers and Darlene is still alive. On the other hand she is a mother of two as well. I only stick to canon when I want to. I confess to that to.

It’s week 6 in Riverblossom Valley now, and finally this world seems to be working. I’m adding the protagonists slowly and the Strangetown sims have yet to arrive. But anyway, I’m so glad and relieved, because I’m been longing to play this ts2 revival combo kind of world that I spent half a year building (in the empty world Brightwater by Rope) and then spent another year to get working. The world kept on crashing for such a long time, due to above all stupid building mistakes, adding too many sims at once and also some bad cc that kicked in on the first day of autumn and that part was what drove me completely bonkers. At least it also got me to finally convert most of the sims3 packs into packages and reinstall all content in a much more manageable way.

I also want to use the opportunity to apologize for asking unnecessary questions at the forum at NRaas last autumn. I still feel like an idiot for acting so hysterical. I just didn’t want to realize that I in fact had bad cc in my game - I should have known better. Really.

So who all is in a relationship and who isn't? If you don't mind me asking.

Coomer: Oh, relationships? I love talkin’ about relationships! Real cute stuff.

Coomer: Calhoun’s got his girl Lauren, Otis told me Dunn’s married, but I think he’s just screwin’ with me. Who’d marry such a sourpuss?

Coomer: Black Mesa’s got a policy against datin’ coworkers, so I don’t think there’s anything on the inside, y’know? I think a few of the other guards are tryin’ to get back into dating, but ’s kinda difficult with how little free time you get workin’ here.

Can we get acomplete rundown of everybody on the team here? Just so we can get to know everyone a little bit better before we bombard y'all with questions.

Backman, a bit cocky but otherwise average, stuck in his college days Bailey, jumpy and jittery, absolutely hates graveyard shifts Calhoun, big jokester, really into aliens & conspiracy shit Cassello, looks angrier than he really is, not a big talker Coomer, pretty overly-friendly and a bit of a pushover

Dunn, short-tempered, just as angry as he looks Jones, a bit lethargic and sarcastic, otherwise just wants to do his job and go home Laurey, little bit of a coward but does his job, pretty easy to talk to Lombardi, most squeamish guy on the team, can't even handle spiders O'Conner, pretty friendly, thinks Calhoun's jokes are the funniest shit ever

Miller, tired as all hell, hard to tell if he's actually listening to anything you say Pauly, pretty naive compared to the other guards, a real softie and-- wait, who is that? 

[black-mesa-security-force]

Woah backman, you good there bud? something you're not telling us mayhaps? you look a bit riled up there, maybe need to take a seat so you dont keel over-

Backman: You-- y’guys are gonna get me fucking fired talkin’ about this stuff-- accusin’ me of this kinda stuff, you can’t just-- do that! What even makes you think I’m dating anyone, let alone a-- a coworker??

Backman: ... Don’t, uh, answer that. Not important, I need to get a fuckin’ napkin. Jesus....

[black-mesa-security-force]

OH??? Backman dating moments??? Backman and coworker relationship time???

Backman: Whuh-- you-- I--

Backman: Dude, you can’t just-- you’re makin’ accusations you’ve got no, no evidence for! Y-you can’t do that, man!

Backman: I don’t, I’m-- I’m not dating a coworker! Nobody’s dating!
