Sharing body heat 🥺💕
This also means they can spy on straight people just to make sure they aren't lgbt. This is not just against gay people, it's a cover up for violating human rights. It's never just against one group of people, it's always about controlling the masses while blaming a group of people so nobody looks at the root of the problem.
Getting the sense D&D tiktok hates paladins so bad (except for Oathbreakers), and they're all wrong.
"Paladins are cops"
They don't have to be, and if the people you play with play paladins like that, they're boring.
"Paladins are too OP"
Buddy, if you're in a group where most are spell casters with low strength and charisma stats, you're gonna need that paladin to come through with their two-attack smiting power while the group benefits from their various different aura that provides buffs AS WELL AS PROVIDE MEDICAL HELP WITH THEIR LAY ON HANDS
"Paladins are boring"
Your group is boring. Like there are so many ways you can play a paladin that isn't "righteous god fearing cop" or "evil oathbreaker" so this is a skill issue and maybe the people in your groups who plays paladins need to get creative.
Consider: paladin, oath of the crown, who is a member of a rebel insurgency fighting a corrupt government. Their goal is to overthrow the current monarchy and create a new communal governance system.
Awakened Second design plus some doodles
im starting to get used to making not so perfect doodles so maybe ill post more,,, who knows,,,
Gay is a really funny minority because with other minorities it's like "first black president! first female nobel prize winner' or whatever but with gay people it's "first openly gay" because we all already know there's been a bunch of gay ones already. like nobody even disputes this. gay president? yeah pretty sure we've had gay presidents. gay, you know, king of england? what you think none of those motherfuckers have been fucking gay?
Enduring Roots Legacy Challenge
A seven generation Sims 4 legacy challenge based on some of the plants found in the base game. Focus on gardening and some supernatural gameplay.
Required Packs: None
Optional Packs (for some alternate aspirations/traits & optional goals): Basically all of them. This challenge is meant to adapt to whatever packs you have, whether that be none or all.
Getting started: Aging can be set to whatever you prefer, including being turned off entirely. Gen 1 can be created alone, or with a spouse, sibling, parents, etc., and can be of any age. The listed aspiration does not have to be picked as the sim's first one; they just need to work on (and ideally complete) it at some point in their lives. This challenge is meant to be flexible and guide storytelling, not to be intentionally difficult, so feel free to make changes to the rules where you need to.
Currently play-testing. As I do, and as new packs release, I may make some changes.
Generation 1: Orchard
Always bright as a summer’s day, and beloved by everyone you’ve met, sometimes you’ve been told you’re too much of a good thing. And that some quirks are just not endearing.

Welding Back the Pieces
Ruby had never been fond of puzzles, but this puzzle was more important than any other thing she had done in her whole life.
I accidentally posted the day 20 prompt yesterday, wrote the day 21 prompt today (to be published tomorrow), and then realized that I had mixed up the prompts. So now, have the day 19 prompt a day late.
I haven't watched Volume 9, so if this is inaccurate, I don't care.
Also available on AO3.

Ruby had never been fond of puzzles. She already knew what the picture was supposed to look like, but now she had to find all the pieces? It had always felt like a waste of time.
But this puzzle? This puzzle was more important than any other thing Ruby had done in her whole life, except for maybe the times she had detailed designs to Ambrosius.
Pietro couldn't rebuild Penny, not without his lab or the eyes he had lost when Ruby was in the Ever After. He would only provide part of her soul, with the rest coming from Winter returning the Maiden powers. It was up to Ruby to find all the pieces. Some she could salvage from the ruins of Atlas and the Amity Coliseum. Others, she had to borrow from scrap metal if not melt the alloys herself. She had done so before with Crescent Rose. Crescent Rose was simpler, though. Ruby loved her sniper-scythe, but she loved Penny more.
Penny had looked more human with each iteration of herself, ending with being human. This version would be the most obviously robotic, because the one thing Ruby couldn't make was realistic skin. She'd love Penny anyways.
not so berry is by lilsimsie & alwaysimming, this base game version is by me (gabbytheagressiv)
hi, i’m gabby and i always wanted to play the not so berry challange, but unfortantly i’m broke, and can’t afford to buy the packs (kinda sad lmao), so i decited to edit the rules just a little bit to make it base game compatible! I will add the original description, hope that’s okay for you.

"Firefox sucks" "firefox is clunky" "firefox doesn't work" with all due respect what the fuck are you talking about
No i'm serious what do you mean by "Clunky"? it is a fucking web browser. what does it need to be svelt for?
Is the bookmarks bar too big? turn it off. You don't like the base theme? Find a new one, there's plenty. I had nine inch nails for my browser theme in high school.
Or, let's be real, it's not anything wrong with firefox as a browser, you just don't like admitting that you got duped by google into feeding their spy machine. Guess what, you're human, you make mistakes, and google has a giant team of lawyers and marketers and engineers whose sole purpose in life is to hoodwink you into feeding their Moloch. You can admit you were wrong at any time and nobody will judge you for it.
But dear god stop making excuses.
The notes on this post are turning me into the joker.
do you think firefox looks to clunky? change it in a few simple steps.
- go to about:config
- search for browser.compactmode.show
- switch it on
- right click on your menu bar
- open the density menu
- click on compact
