👋 Hi Wellies,

First—

Ukazu says, a rising tide lifts all boats, including the S.S. Check, Please! She’s hopeful that the success of Heated Rivalry, as well as another queer romance graphic novel-turned-TV show Heartstopper, will make the dream of seeing her work onscreen into a reality: The book has been optioned for adaptation. — Vanity Fair

Check, Please! has been optioned for a film/television adaptation. A while ago, actually—and that’s lovely. Nevertheless, the vast majority of options do not become television because it takes a million things going right to get projects off the ground.

That being said.

Ahem.

Speaking of getting projects off the ground...

From when Bitty first stepped out into the rink at Faber, to when he kissed the ice at graduation, we've all been part of this fun, weird, magical world of Samwell hockey. But when I left the world of Samwell hockey, I left knowing Jack and Bitty's story was done. Bitty's journey as the first openly gay NCAA Division I hockey captain was done. We baked the last pie; we shut off the lights at the kegster; the story was complete.

…But as I looked around I realized, I had one more story to tell.

Which is why I'm thrilled to announce that a brand new volume of Check, Please! will be serialized in 2026. Dozens of new comics, exciting update drops, your favorite characters with brand new storylines, and characters you've yet to meet.

Hello, Internet Land—SMH is coming home.

This fifth year of Check, Please! will be filled with shenanigans, drama, hockey, pies, Haus parties, and a new message of acceptance that is near and dear to me. And it's been brewing over the last year and half! But with the latest boom in queer hockey stories, I figured, hey! ¯\(ツ)/¯ Here's another one to look forward to. :)

Marginalized athletes still face harmful bigotry, and for this reason, queer sports stories are more important than ever. I love Samwell hockey and how each of you has embraced this roster of athletes.

There's so much more to come.

Ngozi 🏒🥧❤️

While I already added it to the original post I wanted to reblog with the the artist information above.

cracking myself up thinking about the movement towards simplified forms in cave paintings

[rathayibacter]

grug: grug must paint every hair on buffalo in realistic detail

thog: grug can chill out, audience know what buffalo look like. just do one line like thog

[rathayibacter]

thog: cave painting world no longer look for photorealism. expression of form and movement is new frontier

grug: but then how will grug demonstrate high level of skill? grug have art degree

thog: any caveman represent buffalo as it is. grug must represent what it means to grug

grug: hm. this will challenge grug. but grug enjoy rising to occasion

This is true. The frontal lobe uses as much as 30% of your daily caloric intake. Imagine if every day, you had to max out on frontal lobe usage just to cope with reality. It puts the nervous system into a stress situation and this further affects the body’s ability to use calories efficiently.

Being neurodivergent or disabled means masking, and masking is incredibly difficult for the body. It’s also very demanding on the brain.

Also “you don’t look autistic” is fucking stupid and ableist to say.

Welcome to Sulani - World Makeover Part I

I am working on some large projects right now, and don’t have a backlog of smaller stuff to get out, so I thought I would catch up on my world makeovers (because there is always the odd person popping up and asking about them). Sulani is a big world, and because of that I had to break it into two parts. This world ranges from “lot edits” to custom builds as a lot had good bones, but needed some jazzing up. So here is the first part containing the lots in the Ohan’ali area. Highly recommended grabbing my Island Living Buildmode addon if you haven’t already, I do use it extensively in part I & II.

Haven’t had much of a chance to play with the new pack because of RL obligations and other stuff, but i did manage to make a cute countryside home and abused the world objects a lot. So many nice plants hidden away, and a cool moving water wheel. 

[exigencelost]

I just think we shouldn’t hurt people on purpose and every single day I grapple with how upsetting and angering that idea is to people. 

[exigencelost]

People will say things like “if you think we shouldn’t hurt people on purpose that’s disrespectful and deliberately callous toward those who have been hurt on purpose already” and I have yet to find language to express the magnitude of how much that’s not true. We shouldn’t hurt people on purpose. Punishment is nothing. Cruelty is just cruelty and it just makes the world we live in a crueler world.

Kitayama Dining - Japanese-Scandi Fusion with 26 New Objects

So I did say I had a second part to Kitayama, and here it is. I initially started out with the Living room, which quickly grew to include a dining room as well. However, uploading and maintaining large files is a pain, so I split it up. Now I am able to upload, I can share it with all you. Hopefully it’s not disappointing after what was available in the previous part. Really love how this two-part set came together, and it really does leave me open to add more when I am inspired.

Kitayama Living - Japanese-Scandi Fusion with 39 New Objects

This set came about from a Pinterest image where Japanese and Scandinavian style were fused together to create something new. I really loved the idea and was inspired to make a set based on the theme. There are parallels between the two styles, but the beauty is in the differences and married together become of so wonderful. I got so carried away I had to split this set into two parts, or my internet might of thrown a tantrum (and gives me time to organise the other part). So enjoy the first instalment.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SIMS

This was a little secret I have been keeping for quite some time. I was approached about adding some of my creations to the game for a 21st birthday update. I chose about 10 of my creations from all the way back to my first furniture set, with these 3 items you see above chosen. I really proud that some of my favorite items have made it into a game that has had a substantial impact on my life. It really does give me a creative outlet and the product of that can be shared with an amazing community. 

It’s also nice to know that people that are unable to use CC (like console players or vanilla games) also benefit from a few more items to use. I hope you enjoy these Maxis supported items, but if you are interested in the items I made to accompany these, you can find them at the links below (though you fellow cc addicts probably have them already 😆) 

Console - Grove Furniture Collection

Wardrobe - Mid-Century Abode

Cloud Mirror - Roarsome Kids Bedroom

If you are also interested in getting a bit of background on the items and why I chose them, you can check out my mini-interview thingy here (also all the other contributors too because they are awesome).

Ghilan'nain Vallaslin

Ghilan'nain is called the Mother of the Halla and goddess of navigation. According to Dalish tales, Ghilan'nain was once a mortal woman and beloved of Andruil. She was betrayed by an elven hunter and left for dead, only to be transformed into a Halla and offered apotheosis for her devotion to animals. Ghilan'nain is invoked when the Dalish wish to travel quickly.

Other vallaslin I’ve completed: Mythal / Dirthamen
