I think it’s time for us to all collectively return to the library. Get a card, go to a club meeting, volunteer on an off day, rent some equipment. You don’t even have to read a book. But since the digital world is rapidly becoming a subscription-only hellscape requiring a criminal amount of private personal information to use even CASUALLY, the library has become our last safe haven to just exist with information present and not have our labour or information exploited for money.
I had this mental image of my pet, Anna124, having this, like, completely lovestruck moment, probably targeted toward Aeroeuf, my super buff mutant Grundo. 💚
Anna124 is a pink aisha who confidently hunts bounties.
Aeroeuf is a green grundo who is a bit nerdy and feels unnoticed.
Plot A: Love triangle @ the Grundos Cafe on Virtupets Space Station
Gargarox likes Anna124 in an open, loud manner
This chef professes his love daily by asking her out often and giving her free snacks (which she loves.)
Garg is very self confident and assured. It will only be a matter of time before she falls for me!
Anna likes Aeroeuf in a semi-open manner
The frequent patron often has to shoot down Gargarox’s requests.
She tries to drop hints to Aero, another patron.
Aero likes Anna in a completely private manner
He sometimes alienates her.
Anytime he tries to ask her out, Garg gets in the way.
Aeroeuf or Anna must gain confidence and make a move. Garg backs off only when he hears a resounding NO!
Plot B: Anna124 is a bounty hunter. She has her own spaceship. She has issues with the competency/cowardice of her current partner.
She sees Sophie the Swamp Witch’s bounty is $$$$$$
Sophie turns the current partner into a petpet. Anna catches her while distracted.
Anna needs to hire a new partner.
Hires mutant Aero (unknown it is him). Evil Fuzzles invade the spaceship.
They think it’s weird that there are plushies on the ship.
The ship is becoming damaged, the toys work like weeping angels, don’t blink, just blast em!
National Neopian: Need to catch the band of thieves - scorchio, 2 meerca brothers, usul
Aero goes undercover as bank teller; Anna plays customer. They predict this band of thieves will attack.
The thieves are so bumbling that they capture themselves.
Plot A & C have the overarching resolution explained.
Plot C: Aeroeuf starts taking Transmogrification Potions to become a mutant grundo version of himself.
He wants to become Anna’s partner.
He takes the transmogrification potion and becomes mutated.
He applies for the open job of assisting her in catching baddies.
He is a strong sidekick, dumb brain, he can’t communicate how he feels for her.
He helps crush the Fuzzles. Benefit: he blinks very slowly; making it hard for the Fuzzles to move when he’s around.
He is highly valued for his strength and slow blinking. (Side peck ♥)
He has bad side effects.
He is losing his memory and is dumb. Inner monologue is rich and vivid.
He is still fiercely loyal to her and takes a bullet for Anna during the bank heist, rendering him unconscious.
She finds an empty bottle of the potion. Aero wakes up in the Healing Springs, no longer mutated. Anna expresses gratitude but displeasure for his dishonesty. She starts a conditional romance with him: no more secrets!! >:V

I kinda want to make a coloring book from my old drawings. The first 4 images are old vs. new art. In a lot of ways, I think I really prefer traditional art. I dont feel as comfortable with my hand on a glass screen. Paper is better. The friction is familiar and I kind of like having to commit to the lines I place.
I created this phone wallpaper today using Canva! Please feel free to download, I made this for myself and others. I'd just like to ask that you like, comment, or share so I know people enjoyed my creation! Here is a Spotify playlist of music I listened to while making this.
If you want both parts of the walk-in closet combined, download the Daily Alcove from my Gallery, nopethanq. Or if you prefer just one half or the other, I labeled them Walk In Closet 1 and 2. Feel free to make changes and take photos of your sims enjoying the closet!! Please place using bb.moveobjects on
Not a beautiful piece of art, but I am still excited and proud that I got my bedroom inspiration out on paper!! Now I'm just going to slowly buy up all the pieces I need. 🤗⛰️
X green queen size bedding
X 2 matching leaf rugs
X 2 matching solid wood (or MDF) storage nightstands with pull out drawers
X 2 matching plug-in lamps (that are hard for cats to knock over)
X long storage ottoman in complimentary color
X some boho, wicker, or macrame wall art
X several white sheer curtains panels for both windows (so I will actually get out of bed when the sun comes up lol)
X a dark green, woodsy, naturey tapestry to cover an accent wall
X some fake hanging plants or ivy (because I'm scared of bugs)
As a repeated jellybean counting contest winner, I wanted to share with you all my secret so that you can win prizes too this holiday season.
As a young child and adult, I have used this method and won each time. You can guess the volume in this odd unit using these steps.
Identify the shape of the jar. Is it a cube, rectangular prism or a cylinder?
What I'm describing below is for a cylinder, the most common jar shape.
First, obtain RADIUS: If you are allowed to touch and pick up the jellybean jar, you can count jellybeans in a straight line across the bottom of the jar. If you are disallowed from touching the container, just count across the the top in a straight line. The full line across of this circle is known as the diameter. Half the line across is known as the radius. You can count all the way across and then divide in half. You may be cutting the jellybean in half and get a decimal when you do this. No problem.
Second, count your HEIGHT: This is the easy step. You just count the front face of the container. Count jellybeans in a straight line up the side of the jar. This is your height.
Plug and calculate: For a cylinder jar, your volume can be found by calculating 3.14 x RADIUS² x HEIGHT.
So multiply your radius first since PEMDAS tells us the exponent needs dealt with first. Squaring a number is just that number multiplied by itself. After you have that, multiply by pi and by the jellybean height.
The answer you get could be a fraction or decimal. More than likely, the person who put the jellybeans in the jar did not include halved beans. So round up your number if it ends in .5 or higher. And round down to the nearest whole number if it ends in .4 or lower.
**If you have a complex jar shape, mentally cut the jar where the shapes change! Then calculate using the different volume formulas.
I hope this helps someone win a gift card or impress someone at a Christmas party!
I digitized my earlier sketch of a coworker named Chloe :)
