so i’m not sure if i’m too tired to attempt loading the queue for tomorrow. i think i probably am -- it was crazy hot today and it zapped all my strength. in any case, there’s some lazy-man’s replies under the cut.
(here have this outtake of briar and desi that never happened bc i’m the worst person ever and briar’s dead)
i wanted to say a couple of things about sink first though. i meant to when i started gen 3, and i’ll probably go back and edit the “cover” image post to include some general info/trigger warnings at some point. but my organizational skills are horrible lately, so... here goes.
while this is a continuation of the pope legacy, i obviously am doing things a bit differently than i was before. this is mainly because it got too character heavy for me to keep up, so i needed to limit the perspective/pov when i was posting things. this will allow me to condense how i tell the story (so the gen doesn’t go on for years like gen 2), without dropping all the characters. i also am trying to improve my pacing, so that things are happening more. i feel like that’s my biggest weakness in writing. so hopefully i get better at that!
now some important things to note about sink in terms of things changing...
as everyone knows, tumblr has implemented it’s own censuring tools. a lot of sims 4 posts get marked (and obvs everything rn) as nsfw even when it isn’t. my blog is no different. i do go through a request review, but the process is slow. so if you’re under 18, just know that i do my best to keep up with that but i’m sorry.
that being said -- a lot more of my posts are actually going to be nsfw this gen.
because my teens will be tackling some heavy topics. i’m just going to tell you there will be some serious trigger warnings
[[ HEY -- SPOILERS LAY AHEAD ]]
including eating disorders, teen sex, teens talking about sex, so many sex references listen... i think sex is all these guys plan to talk about i’m srs, teen pregnancy, suicidal tendencies, mood disorders, violence, sexual preference bashing, bullying, drugs, alcohol, terrible parental units, possibly child abuse... those are the things that i know about.
[[OKAY SPOILERS ARE BEHIND ]]
i will use trigger warnings and nsfw tags. i will also try to make a warning post the week or day (depending on how i load my queue) beforehand.
but if any of this scares you... well... the best i can tell you is we’re not in kansas anymore. so if you don’t like oz, hey no hard feelings... i can’t keep doing the popes the way i was doing it before, it was making me yawn a little. i love you guys as my followers, but also i gotta like loading this queue or it’ll keep going dead so ^_^
hopefully, you enjoy what’s coming. i’m excited for it. thank you guys for reading, liking, following, commenting... all that!
replies under the cut.

I was hoping Desi would inherit the blonde hair but she is still so beautiful

LISTEN HERE! How could you... how could you bring these tears out of my body. These tears should never be outside this body.

HOW DARE YOU
darkhunters13 replied to your photoset
I'm crying
malyenoretsev replied to your photoset
How dare you though
pretty much all of sink is brand new eyes (plus every other sad paramore song ever) so... you know... prepare to die. i mean... it is called “sink” so... i kind of warned you???
sweetchocolateysims replied to your photoset
Getting a very OG Liam and Chelsea vibe and I'm loving it! Most definitely looking forward to see what happens to the two.
yes, this is very much so the case. when i planned grace, i knew she was a lot like chelsea. evan’s not a lot like liam though (well he is but... well you’ll see liam now and the liam you knew are so not the same, so). anyway! i’d buckle up, it’s gonna be a long ride lol

“yeah? what kinds of things are important to you?” evan asked. he had...”
Dump him
about ashley & evan ... yeah. they get better, i think. but they get worse too. so, you know, you’re right. but ashley lacks the self-esteem and self-respect to heed that advice, so. yeah... she’s not gonna. unfortunately for all of you. and all these teens too, bc i think they’re all over ashlevan already.

“dylan: “if you try to make my new life difficult, i will destroy you....”
Huh, well that kinda answers my question. But I'll ask anyway. Would Dylan ever kill the kids? Even his "daughter"?
you asked this forever ago, but hey! hi! i think dylan would do anything to protect himself (so yes, if he had to) and unless he has some serious character development that’s not likely to change. but, also, i love character development. so maybe it will get better. but also, allison -- sadly bc she’s gorgeous and her storyline is awesome -- does not have a huge role in my outline rn for “sink” so... probably we won’t find out.

no, seriously. wtf. bringing Akira back to their place? you WANTED to get caught, didn't you?
ugh. i had an entire side story for akira and like his criminal adventures but i just don’t think i have the time. to my eternal disappointment. also, there was a whole scene i cut out (i cut out a whole lot of ronan and reese scenes in gen 2 bc there was too much else to tell, sadly) of ronan’s where akira shows up there to say goodbye to him bc he’s leaving town. and that’s why he was at the apt. but also, yes, ronan wanted to blow up his relationship. that is also true.
i’m sure there were many things i didn’t reply to. but this was mostly bc by this point i think events have replied for me. i’m always saying i’ll get better about replies, so i just won’t even lie to myself! i’ll try! do know i always read your replies though and love them. so much.
i meant to tell you a long time ago that this made me laugh out loud. so thanks for that!
he honestly is. can’t say i blame you. maybe he’s gone for good. but! knowing me, probably not lol
i love that comment lol thanks!
my personal faves <3
yikes! lol good thing she didn’t open the door, then. and hey! i know you said something about how i ruined #liar and not to mess up #bryan and i take offense, okay! i was shipping #liar with the best of them =[
but i see your point, i see your point. lol
i been waiting for this a long time. so long.
@sweetchocolateysims thank you! i spend a ridiculous amount of time in cas and it doesn’t always turn out like i thought so... haha thanks!
@simpyre that and he was otherwise occupied~ with honey’s business. but yes, yes. i wondered for a long time if anyone was ever gonna ask me who taylor was married to. but hahaha probably no one cares about taylor, which would be fair. (she doesn’t really matter)
i will put him up on the gallery! now, please note that he was originally an ea made sim. i had briar call a nanny (who was super gross looking ofc) and then remade him in cas... so idk how that will affect his life but haha. no problem!
a long time ago when dylan was first introduced, i think you made a comment about how you thought that he was chris, and you were mad. and i had a long, slow laugh to myself about this. so... yeah. so you know about my life hahaha
i been shipping them since penelope made him cry in elementary school [x] sooo...
also, a special thanks to you lovely kids who go through my blog and like all those posts... @yogirldj and @eowijnssims ya’ll be blowing up my notif screen and i love it! and another special thanks to all of you who liked/replied to my question about the spn add on...
my followers are all so awesome! you guys make me happy. =]
wait what that's it? they just fall asleep? I mean, I usually don't mind nakit cuddilng, at all! but I need to know what happens next! :O
replying to this in a post because the next part doesn’t even pick up from this scene, and when i posted it i wondered to myself if it seemed a little bit like a cliffhanger... and yeah.
like i said, #these dumb lol
the conversation kind of stops there because kit is so busy trying to figure out wtf, and nate... doesn’t think there’s any need to say anything else? like, nate genuinely doesn’t understand the angst.
at this particular moment in time nathan keyes literally has everything that he wants, and he doesn’t want anything more than what he has. kit has said he loves him and they’re cuddled on a sofa where kit can’t get away from him lol
literally for nate this is as good as it gets. and kit doesn’t want to say anything else because he’s afraid he’ll probably make things awkward and terrible. because 1) what if nate doesn’t realize he means in love, in love?? and 2) what if nate does realize he means in love, in love??! and 3) howtf else could he have meant “in love” but ...”in love”... kit needs some time to process... (spoiler alert -- nate’s not confused about the love thing)
so... the emotional impact of this particular scene is going to take a while to unpack. and it’s, unfortunately, going to have to happen in layers because we’re dealing with a serious case of skinny love here.
max villareal killed her... well, mostly. he stabbed her when he was stalking penelope and broke into their house. the cops came and so did an ambulance, and silva was taken to the hospital. but she died while in recovery at the hospital.
