Furry homestuck trash

Question wise, has any of the cooks tried Portugese food considering what Gemma mentioned about the origins of the family? Nando's is a popular fast food variation and I adore their paella for example, memes about cheeky lads aside.

naturally my sim accepts. death takes him to the school stadium in the rain and stands outside, unable to be interacted with, while a thought bubble containing my sim’s face pops up over his head for a simlish hour, over and over again, carrying a rainbow umbrella while my sim sits on the ground and considers the hollowness of life. 

remembering that all i can do is slow dance with him, i drive him to moonlight point, where there’s a couch and a record player, and i slow dance with him for about 5 hours. every 2 seconds he steps on my sims’ foot, to the point where it was hard to get decent pictures of them actually slow dancing. 

after a while my sim got hungry so i let him go drink some juice, and death went and started reading a book on a couch. i went and sat next to him, wondering if there would be any new interactions since you get different ones when you sit on a couch or bench, and lo and behold i discovered, not only can you slow dance with death, you can also cuddle with him. naturally i did so because the quality of dates is determined by the number of positive social interactions you have with someone, and slow dancing unfortunately doesn’t give you any of those, but cuddling does. anyway, once you start the cuddling animation, you get fancy new options like kiss and make out, so my sim spent the next six hours making out with death on a shitty couch at the beach in a thunderstorm while listening to sim!bastille. 

after a couple dozen make out sessions, a single option appeared under the Romantic… heading: ‘take a romantic photo together’. this only shows up once you’re a romantic interest of someone. i have now successfully wooed death. knowing that selecting this option would make death stand up from the couch and i likely wouldn’t be able to get him to sit again, i decided to end the date at the tender hour of 3 am (i guess death doesn’t sleep) with a kiss. it takes a while- death can’t seem to figure out where to stand or how to walk around a foosball table- but eventually i get my picture.

but apparently death doesnt like having his picture taken. 

i try to slow dance again with him, but the option has disappeared. i have committed an irreparable social faux pas. i sit on the couch again in the hopes that death will resume reading his book and i can cuddle with him again, but instead he stands in front of the bookshelf for an hour. i take a break, leaving my sim to his own devices for a while while i check in on my other sims, since one of them just went into labour. i deal with that. when i return, i find my sim drinking juice in silence with death still standing in front of the bookshelf, but he’s changed into this sick new outfit in the interim. 

beekeeper chic. finally, at 6 am, death decides he’s had enough. he will never forgive me for my social blunder of taking a selfie while lipping at his shadowy veil. he opens up his rainbow umbrella and leaves. 

So, as it happens, 2022 was an absolute goddamn nightmare of a year for me - on top of losing my job, both my boyfriend and I have a bunch of unexpected medical expenses that came at basically the worst conceivable time. I’m currently looking for long-term work, but in the meantime, I’m hoping to bring a bit more money in by doing music commissions!

As of this writing (January 4th, 2023), my standard rate for commissions is $30 per minute of finished music - a thirty-second piece would run you $15, a two-minute piece would cost $60, and so on. There’s also a small surcharge of $5 if you need the track to loop cleanly. In the past, I’ve written opening themes for podcasts, songs for video game soundtracks, leitmotifs for particular OCs, and more - as far as I’m concerned, no project is too big or too small!

The above audio file includes samples from various pieces I’ve worked on over the past couple of years; if you want to listen to more of my work, feel free to check out the “my music” tag on this blog.

1. It's lighter than any cane I've ever used

2. Its telescopic so I can keep it in my car, unlike the "folding" canes that hate being folded

3. It has a spring suspension system to provide a bit of give to your arm, like suspension on a bike, my arm doesn't get sore

4. It COMES WITH different feet for it, you don't have to BUY them seperately

5. Has a wrist strap

It's such a massive upgrade from literally any mobility cane I've ever been sold. Is it as strong as a solid hardwood or steel cane? Hell no. But it can support my weight and I'm about 200 pounds.

the auto companies created the term "jaywalking" to demonize walking on streets, associated it with stupidity and "undesirable people", and offered automobile ownership as the solution. they convinced the white upper and middle classes that public transit was a waste of money and did they really want to sit next to Those People on a trip to the park? and CONVENIENTLY built highways through communities of color and immigrant communities, neatly displacing them and gentrifying the surrounding areas in one fell swoop. it was because of RACISM and CLASSISM. the auto companies weaponized racism and classism to sell privileged white people on a stupid technology that actively harms everyone on the planet themselves included.
