#so much stuff!

[cheeses-degree]

I love packing up to move because it’s a great game of “Where tf did I get that. Why do I have so much stuff”

[erringtonian]

I asked a colleague who was visiting South Korea to “bring me some souvenirs” & she delivered!

welcome!

Please join me in the madness of my long-running pixel-illustrated-storytelling obsession, spanning various game versions, fifteen years, and 250-something sims. All stories exist in the same world and share the same timeline. These stories are written by an adult for adults. 18+ please.

Between story chapters, there will also be gameplay shenanigans, storytelling babble, sim-tracking dorkery, and rotational TS4 play. Also, occasional quick flings with other favorite games: Paralives, Minecraft, Manor Lords, and Cities Skylines.

status: book 6 coming this fall

characters: Jordan, Maria, Colette, Ingrid, Jack, Lou

about: (adventure/coming-of-age/drama/romance)

Boxes and Squares is an ensemble drama series about a wandering group of misfits trying to live their lives boldly, no matter the consequences. Jordan wants to escape, Maria just wants to love him, Colette wants to crucify him, and Ingrid is just playing games… probably. New friends and lovers enter the picture, highlighting the messy and beautiful connections between imperfect people as they search for adventure, love, belonging, forgiveness, and what it means to be home.

you can never go home, a rotational short story:

story index: Tumblr // Blogger

status: on hold for timeline revisions (still happening though!)

characters: Dallas, Lucy, Delphie, Dakota, Karla, Andre

about: Still reeling from surviving Earth’s first extraterrestrial war, the Deppiesse family embraces the future as they attempt to plant roots somewhere new.

Karla, a new girl in town, gave up more than she could ever explain so she could follow her soulmate home to his hometown. When her arrival lands a little rougher than she expected, she seeks community in some new friends who know what it feels like to be different.

content warnings: the aftermath of war, mild xenophobia

unexpected unlife, a casual gameplay story:

story index: Tumblr

status: totally not abandoned, we will finish this someday! 😭

characters: Robert, Cynthia, Justin, Stephanie

about: (casual gameplay/dark humor/drama) Robert Kim suffered a quick and unexpected death at the age of 54, just as he was looking forward to easing back into an early retirement with the love of his life, in the house they bought down the road from his son and three lovely grandchildren. He wasn’t ready for death, but somehow he isn’t quite prepared for what to do with this surprise afterlife, either.

content warnings: death, grief

real music, a story about love, hate, and music:

story index: index of story links

status: complete as a sims story, continuing in gameplay

characters: Vale, Vicky

about: (music/romance/enemies to lovers) Vale is a quickly rising electronica star and epic turd, and Vicky is a prickly and stubborn nobody with an ethereal singing voice. They can’t stand each other, but they also can’t leave each other alone. They want nothing to do with each other, except maybe they might need each other. What do you do with that?

content warnings: NSFW as marked

So I'm gonna be crunched for time, but I am still drawing and writing stuff!

-I've got the last of my pride month drawings to do. I've also written the little fic to it, just need to do the shading on the drawing

-After that I'm gonna draw something for the Introductions fic, probably just add it to the og post and repost it

-Then after that! Finally! I'll be doing some drawings for another Fallen Hero fic Ive finished. All I can say is it's a doozy 😅

Hello Anna! What video is that where the boys are eating and they’re holding selfie sticks. Where can I watch that??

that, my dear, is from this video right here! one and a half hours of pure joy in my humble opinion, it's one of my 5sos comfort vids🧡

i know there used to be a video on youtube where the parts where the presenters of the show speak korean were subtitled in english, but it seems to have been taken down, but dw, you'll still get all the good 5sos content!
