1. i can’t believe there are people in the world who haven’t heard this
2. go check out mika he’s great - important to note is that he’s mlm (he’s come out alternately as being gay, bisexual and ‘not interested in labels’ for a while) and a huge amount of his songs are about being mlm so in particular if ya need good mlm artists check him out
Seriously Mika is a gift and sunshine unto this sick sad world
mika is wildly popular in europe but his north american fanbase is like, six people and a napkin, and it’s killing me.
please listen to Mika’s entire discography because there are a LOT of classics that i’m 100% sure you’ve heard at some point in your life, all the love songs are implicitly gay, it’s great, but ESPECIALLY listen to No Place In Heaven (2015).
it always surprises me to remember that mika isn’t actually a part of the global populace’s general consciousness
because his debut album, life in cartoon motion, was such a huge part of my generation’s tween and teen years
like, i guarantee you, you can walk up to any swedish millennial, and they will still know every single line of his song lollipop
it was just a part of our upbringing;
become a crippling anxious mess
develop an attitude problem
and memorize all of mika’s lollipop
This is the song of his I remember being popular here in Ireland, Love Today!
I LOVE MIKA
Grace Kelly was such a big song for me… It’s hard for me to believe it’s considered an older song now. Bless, Mika. He’s just a wonderful person.
He also has a vocal range of FOUR octaves.
The average is about 1.5-2 octaves.
If there are record stores in the afterlife, then Mika is Freddie Mercury’s favourite living artists.
So I just remembered I had these shirts sitting ready and finished for a while… oops? Better late than never, I suppose.
Download link, flags, and more rambling under the cut!
It all sparked from a thought that went like, oh hey, that shirt Bob Pancakes is wearing vaguely looks like the trans flag behind a mountaintop. So I realized that was a great idea, actually, and just.. went and did actual pride-themed recolors for that one shirt. Made it more real.
It’sunisex! Kind of. There is a version for both frames, as I even went through the effort of editing the UV map of the feminine-frame shirt so that I could easily use the same textures for both. Sims of all genders are welcome to wear this, and neither of the versions are frame-restricted, only preference-specified.
Good to know: The CAS thumbnailis just a white-balanced version of the original shirt. The reason is because I know exactly what it’s like to be closeted irl and have friends over, watching you play the game and suddenly question why there is pride stuff in there. You can explain away the EA-provided content, but the custom content? Not as easy, especially if you’re terrible at lying like I am.
Just look for something like this:
Included flags are:
lesbian
gay
bisexual
transgender
pansexual
polysexual
asexual
aromantic
nonbinary
agender
genderqueer
genderfluid
I did include a recolor PSD with this too, just in case you needed more!
Still, if there’s enough demand, I may make a followup-download for the most requested missing flags, as well as the ones EA included.
i pulled an all-nighter in a korean cafe and while there i decided to react to the new 5sos music video. that’s right, i did a public reaction. i embarrassed myself for my favorite band and i regret nothing.
please watch my video to validate my sleep deprivation for the sake of comedy.
Everyone, as one of its not-so-humble co-authors, I can tell you that this book looks incredible and I’m extremely proud to have my name attached to it. Please check this out. Chaouen is generously giving away two copies of the printed edition. If you win, you can add a little more SanSan to your bookshelf, and perhaps a little more joy to your life. ;) It’s a good thing!
Though they couldn’t truly breath, the crisp and fresh morning air on their heated plating was a relief. As they stared down at the green hill, they could feel nothing but calm. The war had been finished. The battle had been won. Once and for all, the fight was finished!
But was it?
The war was finished, but what did that mean? Had anyone truly won? All losses across the board were equal. Millions lost, because of… what?
What would they do now?
These thoughts dampened their burning core. As a warforged- one who, by name, was forged for war- what were they to do now? What war was there to fight?
It was scary to consider. For the first time in their life, they were found lacking a purpose. The reason they were created was to win the war for their faction, and that was what happened. It was done. Was this their end, as well? Were they to die with the war?
The early morning sun was soft and cool in the distance. As they stared at it with dimming optics, the relief, the pride they’d felt, was snuffed out near immediately.
What good would they serve to a peaceful world?
Blood was rusted on their plating forever. They would be a memento of one of the hardest, bloodiest times in history.
But this was what they had fought for, wasn’t it? A world free of the war? Shouldn’t they get to participate in what they had fought for for so long?
The grass at the end of the hill was stained a nasty red, hints of black and blue splattered throughout. The corpses smelt of copper, and they would soon begin to reek of rot.
They were created to fight. Ever since they were forged, they were taught that the end goal to the bloodshed was peace. Perhaps they could continue to fight for peace, even after the war?
A silly idea, maybe. Mechanical soldier turned cop, what a concept! Despite that it was better than nothing.
With a rattle of their plating, they rose from the ground. They couldn’t sit around forever- the war may have been oficially ended, but that didn’t mean they had nothing else to do.
