Sims post, though sadly no Death Note this time. Ahaha, there's probably dozens of more relevant things I could update with, but this made me squee stupidly today, so Sims it is! Recently, I've made Sims of some of my original characters because I'm embarrassing. I was taking a shot at the
"Monster Family"-Challenge. The goal is to play a Mad Scientist, a vampire, a werewolf, a zombie, an alien baby and a ghost in one household. Since this is pretty much my favourite style of play (I love the supernatural beings and 'Mad Scientist' is my favourite career next to 'Cult Leader' and 'Space Pirate' XD), I thought "Yep, this is for me". I threw the characters from my own fantasy universe into it because why not (see also: 'huge dork'). And then I, er, failed the challenge. Because I'm totally out of practice with playing large households, and everyone ended up constantly starving/swarming with flies/passing out from fatigue and nobody became a supernatural because I somehow never had time for that, what with struggling to keep everybody remotely alive. XD
That's not the squee part.
See, two of the teenage characters I played were Fenix and Bela, two boys who are destined to be lovers in the story I'm writing them in. (I've written stories around them before, but they're all in German.) However, I didn't try to put them together in the game or anything, since I was completely preoccupied with having characters not die.
And then
THEY TOTALLY FELL IN LOVE YOU GUYS!
I love this screenshot. Lovelovelove it. I didn't push them together, I didn't have Autonomous Romance on, it simply happened. On the first day. They have three bolts. THREE BOLTS. (That's ... maximum attraction in Sims terms.)
Anyway, so this is my Bela sim. In the story I'm writing, he's an evil version of an empath (he can sense people's feelings and primarily works to make their lives suck a little more). In game, he's more or less a very pale Sim with zero nice points. His hobbies are rage-fiddling and giving noogies to people.
This is Fenix, who is supposed to be a werepanther (which has *got* to be the tackiest special ability ever), and hopefully a werewolf in the game. He is supposed to be the 'responsible' one in the household, but at least his Sim version is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
You can see him here, clearly not having a good grasp of the situation.
Yeah. Anyway -
The vision you saw sitting across him is Dr Girlfriend Milena Galinski, the Mad Scientist (...Scientesse?) supposed to have an eye on the teenagers. But in actuality, she is probably the one who's most frequently close to death/insanity.
She had a complete meltdown on my first day of play, which surely bodes well for the future.
Twice.
The girl behind her is Myra. There's not much to say about her. She is timid and quiet and spends most of her time tending to her pet, the default Sims mouse rat ... thing.
Nobody loves me, it's true. Not like you do.
Fun fact: Fenix' and Bela's attraction to each other was so smouldering it literally ignited the kitchen. Or maybe somebody should have paid attention to whatever was on the stove or something. (This was right after their first kiss!)
This is Eve, a popular girl with a mean streak. Her mortal peril goes unnoticed, as does the graphics glitch in her hair.
I set Fenix out to do the heroic thing, but it turned out he was crap at fire-fighting. As was everyone else.
This seriously went on for about ten minutes. Actual minutes. I was starting to suspect I'd be getting my ghost much faster than expected. (But everyone survived. Miraculously.)
Well, I mainly wanted to spam pictures of these two because I find them adorable and they make me happy. And yes, that's a shower in the bedroom. Like I said, I'm crap at managing.
Even if I end up not doing the Monster challenge, I have to play something with them because this is the cutest thing ever to me.
Also, I got myself a word count widget to document my progress on
getyourwordsout, where I pledged to write 200.000 words this year.
Yikes.
