hey guys what’s up it’s almost 3am and i listened to my MV playlist earlier today and it got me feelin some type of way so i put together the monstrosity that is the dekresh family tree on familyecho

[it looks literally as horrendous as you’d expect]

the aesthetics of plumtreeapp are so much nicer than family echo but plumtreeapp cannot handle my bullshit

Oh man seeing the old screenshots from MV has me Feeling. I think I need to do another reread of my favourite disaster sims ♥️♥️

It’s got me feelin some type of way, too -- now that the CAS glitch from this summer’s patch has been fixed, maybe I’ll get back on that reboot one of these days. ♥️♥️♥️

TAZ AND GRETTA SEX

wow this has been sitting in my drafts for like six months???? so uh, since i’m not posting actual sims content please enjoy these responses to an ask meme that i apparently never posted

under the cut because uh

Who is on top? Who is on the bottom?

Honestly, I think they change it up a lot. Especially given how long they’ve been together -- but I think Taz is probably on top more often than not.

Who has the strangest desires?

Taz, for sure. I don’t think it’s like, “weird kinks” so much as “hey, babe, I heard about this thing I think we should try--” and Gretta at this point is like, “you know what, don’t even try to explain whatever the fuck it is, let’s just go for it”

Any kinks?

Well, we all know Gretta is into Blue Domestic Settled Men, so. There’s that.

Who’s dominant in bed?

Gretta. For sure. (Again, they change it up a lot, but the “default” is definitely Gretta calling the shots.)

Is head ever in the equation?

Is head ever not in the equation?

If so, who is better at performing it?

Taz definitely thinks he’s better at going down. Gretta hasn’t had any complaints, but -- as to who’s better at it -- undetermined.

Ever had sex in public?

Referenced here.

Who moans the most?

Taz.

Who leaves the most marks?

Taz probably leaves the most marks in visible places, but Gretta gives it back just as much when she wants to.

Who screams the loudest?

Gretta.

Who is the more experienced of the two?

Taz has probably had more partners (living that #BachelorLife for so long and having his fair share of one-night-stands that he picked up from bars) -- but Gretta definitely had a number of casual boyfriends after her husband passed and made her experience count.

Do they ‘fuck’ or ‘make love’? Rough or soft?

Depends on the day and what they’re feeling -- but on a typical day, they both like it a little rough.

How long do they usually last?

Depending on how much time they have... ;)

They have some days where they spend all day in bed, and some days where they sneak off into the broom closet for a quickie during the dinner rush at the restaurant. After sixty years together, they know how to make the most of whatever time they have.

Is protection used?

Well. You know.

Hey, folks!

As some of you may know, June 25 is the official TWO YEAR anniversary of Malignant Virtues! I absolutely cannot believe how wild of a ride this journey has been -- I hope you guys have been enjoying it as much as I have.

A couple of weeks ago, I put out a survey asking you guys what I should do to celebrate this milestone, and most of you asked for Behind the Scenes Facts/AMA -- so here you go! The floor is open and you can ask, well, anything! (Voted for another option? Don’t worry -- most of the other things will be happening, too!)

I’m taking a page out of @socialbunnies book -- this AMA isn’t just limited to me, you can ask any of the characters anything, too. (My character page is in the process of getting a major facelift, but you can have a sneak peek of the new one here!)

Ready? Ask Me Anything!

me, 11 days ago during the ama:

me, now: hey what if i wrote out a fuckton of lore instead of actual plot

Nate was murdered?!?!?!

He was! It happened off-screen and was never stated – but after all the mess with Adi and Jacob, Avarice determined that Nate was a liability to the company and had him taken out.

hi I just want to tell u that I literally dreamed abt Taz last night and the details are rly hazy but it turned out that the REAL reason he left the Hollow is that he did something stupid that accidentally directly led to the death of somebody (possibly his brother??) so he fled and never told anyone and now he’s back and his dad just told Gretta ALL the tea

I can’t express how much I love this, but this isn’t correct.

lol didn’t taz cheat on gretta???

He did, yes, have a brief timeline recap:

Year 0 - Taz meets Gretta and Adia

Year 1 - Taz cheats on Gretta with Adia

Year 2 - Cadence is born, Taz and Gretta break up

Weird part of the Sims timeline when toddlers didn’t exist/Cadence’s childhood - Taz and Adia break up, Taz and Gretta reconcile, Adia marries Jason

Year 20 - Cadence goes to college, Taz and Gretta invest in a restaurant together

Year 23 - Gretta begins dating Dil

Year 24 - Cadence comes home from college, Taz convinces Adia to leave Jason

Fall, Year 28 - Gretta marries Dil

Year 54 - Dil dies of old age

Late summer, Year 56 - Adia dies of old age

Spring, Year 57 - Taz dates Charity

Fall, Year 57 - Taz breaks up with Charity, Taz and Gretta begin dating again

Summer, Year 61 - Nocturne is born

Early fall, Year 104 - present

He and Gretta have been a part of each other’s lives for over a century and have known each other in many different ways -- as lovers, as exes, as co-parents, as business partners, and as friends -- so even though a lot of their time together (especially between ~Year 57 and present) has been off-screen, I think it’s safe to assume that they’ve moved on from past mistakes.
