#heads-up

The entire reason I even started to write was so I could stop using those ai chatbots for good (which I stopped, haven't touched those chatbots in so long), so the idea that my work could be used for chatbots and keep people even more stuck on using them makes me seriously upset.

I think my blog is still small so it probably hasn't happened, so this stays as a message for when it gets bigger.

If you ever see my work being used on some chatbot please tell me.

We have so much fun, there is so much to explore and they are so, so beautiful <3 (It still cracks me up that it's EA's fault that I even have a computer that runs inZOI because I couldn't play the Sims 4 anymore on my ancient toaster after an update about a year ago so I had to buy a new one lol) And while I can see why some people complain about missing stuff in inZOI (but remember: it's still early access), for our way to play (story telling and building), it already offers (more than) everything we need and it will only get better and better for us with more content. Courtesy of the color wheel and that we can add patterns and images while we play(!) and the game already offers so much in build/live mode, I haven't even used the 3D-printer or any CC yet. Not even the pose maker I've been so excited about ^^' I'm even able to add gameplay fun in between the story takes because we can adjust the length of the day (can you imagine that? In Sims 4 it took me already half of the day to get them on their horses ^^' So it was pretty stressful to also actually play the game and I even cheated their needs to seize the day/night time omg). It's so much more chill for all of us, even without cheats :3

We already finished the first Chapter (with 12 Episodes) and started the second. you can find the Chapter 1 Episode Overview -> here

While the episodes are still as long as always, I'll keep the chapters shorter, with less episodes, so it's easier to follow along.

If you're interested in what we do over there in general (it's just like here, with the story stuff, lots of behind-the-scenes, builds, news and TMI) -> here is the archive

And -> here is the general Story Hub with all the links and info

With the open world, the color wheel, the cars... inZOI gives me happy Sims 3 vibes and I couldn't be happier. I can make the world our own again.

Yeah, just a heads-up that we are going to be happily busy over there for the foreseeable future. I hope you are all doing well!

I have made it one more year into living. owo

I'm gonna be busy for basically the rest of the week (Thanksgiving + family visiting), so I unfortunately won't be able to answer asks this week, nor will I probably be able to really post or do anything else.

So yeah, don't expect anything this week really lol.

But I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

This is not to say I’m no longer angry at the choices the T9S creators made (and how and why) concerning the T7S characters’ lives for the purpose of the new show. (I’m not disappointed because I never expected anything better were T7S to be continued in any way. T7S’s season 8 destroyed any positive expectation I might have. 😅)

But I’ll be judging T9S based on the internal cohesion of its universe instead of constantly comparing it to the T7S universe. They are two separate universes, which happen to share some characters in common. Red and Kitty are the only characters whose characterization from T7S will be factored into my assessment of their depiction in T9S.

T9S’s version of Fez, Kelso, Jackie, Eric, Donna, etc -- not canon in my eyes. Made choices their T7S versions never would’ve made. That being said, I am, of course, happy Eric and Donna are together and happy in this AU and that we’ll get to see some of that.  

So if I do write metas / essays / commentaries on T9S (with the spoiler tag so be aware of that if you don’t want to be spoiled; I’ll also use the read more feature for an extra layer of protection), they won’t be full of analyses (or complaints) about how T9S does or doesn’t shape up to T7S story- or character-wise (again, with Red and Kitty being the exception). 

All posts will be fully tagged, and if it's not your thing and you'd like to avoid, Whumpril is the tag to block :)

Coming Up:

for this week, I have nothing >-<

Working On:

the sixth chapter of “Work Under Water” and I’ve got to tell you... NSFW content is coming ;D

the NSFW one-shot of being stuck with Kakashi in a small space... Yes, I’m on a one-track-mind right now >-<

Also, as my Kakashi-content really has been paused in favor of other fictional men lately, I’m working away on an old project of mine: Love Notes ;D I already explained some stuff about it in the past, but rn I’m trying to smooth out some edges as well as get further than the third/fourth chapter which I already have written down. 

Plus, I’m also streamlining the third installment of the Modern AU series, in the same universe in which Build a Close Connection and The Forest Cat Café happen. It’s not secret that the third part will be about Kakashi, and I already have a pretty good idea what I want to happen and how things will play out ;D

And just for you guys, and so I can motivate myself to finish this one a bit earlier than usual, a little snippet of the sixth chapter of “Work Under Water”:
