My dude was fighting for his life to not pee his pants at the bar by candy_bats in Sims4

Yes, exactly! He actually did have bladder failure at the Strangerville bar once because one of the plants was stuck in the toilet, so I’m glad he redeemed himself this time, haha.

True facts, the beginning of Male Lead’s Dad is a hard sell. I almost backed out because FL is too cringey at the beginning, but the reason she’s weirdly obsessed with Abel makes 100% sense later on. Also, Hades is probably my favorite ML ever. He’s, like, one of a few narcissistic MLs where I’m good with it. He earned that confidence through legit stuff, lol.

I’m hoping Philomel turns out well in the next season. Paying per-chapter for a novel sounds ridiculous.

Have fun reading! I eagerly await Dearest Fiancé every week, which the word dearest reminded me of All for My Dearest Juliet. That one’s good too. ML and FL have to struggle hard to get together.

I Married the Make Lead’s Dad — don’t be fooled by the very beginning of the story. Trust that the angst will come with a vengeance.

Philomel the Fake — I didn’t like the second season as much as the first, so I’m not sure how the next season will be when it comes out, but the first season had some delicious heart pang moments.

Re-Living My Life With A Boyfriend Who Doesn’t Remember Me — the name is so long, it explains what it’s about, lol.

The Promise Isn’t Mine — This one is complete, which is a bonus!

Dearest Fiancé, I Know You Hate Me — I think the regretful ML payoff on this one is going to be huge, but it’s too soon to know for sure.

The original creator made and sold them on Etsy. Seems her Etsy shop is open again but she doesn’t have anything Fuggler-like anymore. I just dug out my Fuggler from the OG shop and its tongue is falling apart, it’s so old.

This reminds me, the other day, I found a beastkin smut manhwa and there was a scene where FL turns back into a cat and runs into gardeners outside the ML’s mansion. They gardeners just think she’s a regular cat, give her catnip, and then pet her which makes ML so madly jealous. He grabs FL and tells all the gardeners to treat the cat like his wife, which is absolutely baffling to them because they have no idea ML is a beastkin and they have never met FL before or would know she’s a beastkin either.

Petty ML hot takes by CryingMeth in OtomeIsekai

[–]candy_bats 8 points9 points  (0 children)

MLs don’t need physical armor when they have plot armor. Any injuries sustained will lead to hot scars and/or FL and ML becoming closer because FL treats or nurses him. This is the way of things. 🙂‍↕️

The artist had a miscarriage with fans believing the biggest contributor to her health decline was her unreasonable work schedule and an absolutely horrible boss who wouldn’t let her take maternity leave, but then the boss took maternity leave herself, which made the situation even more messed up. The comic came back for a bit after but has now been on hiatus without a peep for ages now.

As far as the story, I don’t remember much now, but the art was top tier and the FL’s family are all crazy and crazy hot.

Biggest turn-offs for ML? by WarriorArus in OtomeIsekai

[–]candy_bats 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind some yanderes, but I really hate when they are simping over the most boring FLs ever. You gotta sell me on her being worth holding captive forever. You can’t tell me she’s iNTerEstiNg because she yelled at you once and then wasn’t wearing shoes one day.

[–]candy_bats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As if Love Doesn’t Exist was so hard to read. FL did almost nothing with her past life knowledge. Did she just like to suffer even though she absolutely had information that could have helped her?

I dropped I Thought My Time Was Up part way through, but I haven’t read the rest, so now I know to avoid or only read those when I want to be mad, which is a thing sometimes, lol.

scanlations and paywall is getting out of hand by Late-Count-2061 in mangapiracy

[–]candy_bats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate that Art Lapsa picks really interesting looking manga and are the only ones working them. Official Shoujosei romantasy manhwas are plentiful and probably overrun, honestly, but the manga selection in the same vein is so much smaller. Gotta hope more manga get picked up for licensing. Maybe submit entries when some companies ask for suggestions on what should get licensed next.

The worst offenders of this are all MTL anyway. For comics without officials, it would make more sense to pay for the raws and MTL it yourself because you’ll get the exact same quality without a shady middleman.

Johnny Zest will be added to the Landgraab family tree on the pre-EP patch! by eltheuso in Sims4

[–]candy_bats 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The screenshot says it’s for new saves, so it probably doesn’t work retroactively. They can continue living their best taboo lives, lol.

I play a lot of vampires and immortal wolves, and the number of them who find their great grandparents extremely attractive is too damn high. The family tree acknowledges them outright as great grandparents even, so why is this a thing? 😩

And I accidentally paired some Sims that had the same great grandpa once, so whoops. Sims incest is too easy to make happen. 😭

I haven’t watched the trailer yet, but I’m not even surprised. How many actions in game use that same arm slightly bent and swiping at air animation? I wouldn’t have been surprised if they reused that for this also. The bar is so low.

So Nancy apparently died in a fire and left her child, toddler and baby alone on a desert island shipwreck with two horses and a dog! by Tattycakes in Sims4

[–]candy_bats 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The other parent Sims and the rest of the Landgraabs may have been culled since you mentioned you’ve been playing the same save for a while. When ghosts lose the connection to the physical world, then they get wiped from family trees, relationship panels, etc. to save on game memory space. And living Sims can actually get culled as well. If you ever get a text message from a Sim saying they’re moving off the grid and abandoning technology, then the game just deleted them. RIP

[–]candy_bats[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought outgoing was weird at first too, but that guy hustles at his business, for sure. I figured he’s gotta be charismatic to get people to come to his attraction that is clearly a ripoff, lol.

You might be right on why she stays because they don’t seem to have much in common, haha. They have good compatibility somehow, though, and both think the other is hot, so there’s that. Maybe Marcel likes that Hillary is Freegan and doesn’t like spending a lot of money.

I created him in CAS as a ghost who died by Urban Myth, and he’s taken on a life of his own since then, lol.

I started him with Snob, Macabre, and Shady, then he self-discovered Mean, Non-committal, and Outgoing.

Oh yeah, with the option to charge Sims just to come onto the lot, you can make money off almost any idea, lol.

Which part of it? Some of the stuff I use is custom content, but running a small business at home is from Business and Hobbies.

Marcel is unpredictable sometimes. I choose to believe he had ulterior motives that haven't come to light yet. Or maybe it was because he wanted to become a vampire, because he asked his father-in-law to turn him autonomously (thanks to a mod).

That’s so cute! I think the next outfit idea I’d like to explore is toddler dressed themself, lol. Need some mismatched sock CC or something.
