EXITWOUNDS

See title... Estelline fic is requiring a lot more work than I believed it would as I continue to trim on every pass, and whilst I do of course still love it, I desperately want to be done with it so I can go back to writing about ouihaw... this is what happens when you finish Heavensward and vaguely start Stormblood and that's no longer the vibe you're looking for. I've also just been struggling with words and worth in general - I probably need a break, but I feel like I'm constantly having a break when there's days I can't write and I have to write so I don't go crazy!! It's tough. The first five chapters/27k is up, though. C6 and C7 are finalised, C8 is next.

In my "I miss my girls" state, I opened up the sims 4 after not doing so since last December and spent thirteen hours over last weekend moving my ouihaw yeehaw ranch save from a 30x20 lot to a 64x64 lot and instead of building from scratch, used the pre-existing blueprint to make each room ever so slightly bigger, so it keeps the cozy country vibes but it's not as pokey and the daughters have actual individual rooms now. And the horsies have a paddock and space to roam 🥹 I do not recommend building like this it was a nightmare, although it was worth it. I'll take some screenshots of the new and improved house next time I play.

And in the trifecta of "I MISS ASHE TAILS I MISS HER A LOT" let's talk about my Ashe stadium build.

( For a girl who was so against stadium pre-launch I sure do talk about it a lot... )

My body screamed over sesame seeds for ten days and finally calmed down. Me eating hummus like, so why don't you care about this, it's sesame. Body shrugs. More hummus please.

I seem to have escaped grocery PEM entirely other than same day, and a little when I woke up that turned out to be needing to eat. I'm so used to being useless through Friday or Sunday, this hasn't happened for over a year. I'm not going to do anything crazy with it, but I was able to write today, whereas usually I'd have to give it a wide berth until Friday at the earliest. I do have to do some tidying though, because next week new furniture time begins!! Futureproofing my living space is go. My dad has been onboard with it as a concept and willing to go collect orders from Ikea for me and then assemble it after, I'm very fortunate.

After some thought, I decided on D.Va for the second galactic weapon over Juno, since Juno has. Barely any skins on account of being still relatively new. Whereas D.Va has tons and many of them combo really well with the purple, only one of my favourites doesn't, soooo...




Yes Nocturna has sidecar bunnies wearing Squirtle squad sunglasses. Their names are Persephone and Adonis and I love them.

From playing Stadium - me and duo are doing one or two games a night, depending on length - I should have enough comp points by the end of the season for a third galactic weapon, and from drives, a fourth! Those will be for Juno and Brigitte. Next season I'll be saving up again for likely Ashe, but also mystery tank lady releasing in November/December, because she might be an omnic and wolf themed and a gladiator and hngh. I kind of still like the all women with golds idea, too... it's too on brand...

I've ventured into playing some Ashe in stadium and after I figured out a build that plays to my strengths and also embraces how gimmicky stadium is, it's been bangin'. Literally. Lots of dynamite. Lots of fire. The first game I went in on the other dps threw a tantrum because Ashe apparently doesn't win stadium games and proceeded to pull out their throw pick and afk for multiple rounds, and we won 4v5, so, :') the build with my duo on Mercy works, ok. Slowly but surely we'll get out of rookie and novice leagues again, maybe.

Relating to absolutely nothing, these two victory poses match. This is entirely a stick-up. I'm having so many thoughts.
