A Choice
Thorin/Bilbo
G rated.

Bilbo meets a hobbit lass in Valinor, and is presented with a choice.

The prompt was one of my prompts. It got a short but sweet fic.

Nabbed this off of firefly99 -

Make a list of all the characters in your icons. (Although you may have more than one icon of a single character, they only go on the list once.) Alphabetize it. Take the first two people on the list; that's your first pairing. Second two people; second pairing. etc.

It seems I may finally get one of my Sim families into one of the premium Magic Town housing properties. Though of all the families to get there it'll end up being the Bauglir family - the one that consists of Morgoth, Sauron, Curunír (aka Saruman) and Ultimacia.

Couldn't happen to a nicer family. *Snerk*


I also decided to go look in my beloved Valentine household. Had a rather cute scene come up just before I closed:
I'd sent Cloud to work on his logic skills by playing chess. Squall was the first finished the morning's round of gardening so I sent him up to join Cloud. So the chess game plays out and I prodded Squall into kissing Cloud and wouldn't you know it? Seph came up right at that point and decided off the cuff to kiss Cloud as well.
Not only did I NOT get any jealousy issues (does that mean the mod I got is actually working?) but they are at a nice happy 100/100 relationship score all around (meaning all of them have 100/100s for both of the others).

It's nice when family life is happy!

I am very inclined to join desperatefans - not as myself, since I am hardly a literary character, but with a pup of my own.

The Valar don't want me though, not so much that the pup I want to enter with is one of their "family" but because of my plans for his icons.

Okay, just following up on my last post, I finished the latest residents of my Sim neighbourhood.

( Oh Eru help me... )

I am either very cutsy or very bent.

Too cute for words!

Mir gave me a link to a site full of useful hacked objects that I have been trying out. The garden plots are especially good.

I have also worked out a minor technical issue that was bugging me - Tidus tended to be invisible when he was naked, and also lacked hands when he wasn't. Another reference sent me back to this site - one had actually been to before and had picked up several skins from. This time around I got an idea that maybe if I traded off Tidus' body skin I may be able to solve the invisiblity issue and lo and behold if it didn't work! As funny as the invisible body thing could be it kinda crimped my voyueristic tendencies as it hardly was interesting to have Tidus in bed with anybody else when I couldn't damn-well see what he was doing!

Also, this is not the first case of trading heads and bodies between various versions of the same character, Auron's head comes from that same skin site (Corry's Factory) while his body is from somewhere else. My reasons there is that what little I do know of him he doesn't seem the sort to wear really bright colours and the Corry-skin had his clothes a bit too bright to my mind.
Rikku is the same, I have a total of three skins for her, two of them FFX and one X-2 and I have her with the X-2 head but wearing one of the FFX bodies because frankly, I like the X-2 head but the Spira family, as it is constructed, is pretty-well all FFX (as far as I understand).
Same story with Cloud, I like the head that looks a bit more like the game-version but I have him dressed in the AC outfit and before reinstalling I had Squall dressed in the Leon outfit from KH (though the head from that skin was horrific).

I finally got around to making some more of the Valar families and it seems the average number of members in the is four - husband and wife Valar and two Maiar. I do however have a few odd houses, ones I was finding spots in for outside (non-Silm) characters. Ulmo's household includes the GF Siren (FF8), Mandos includes the Aeon Shiva (FFX) and the Bauglir household (Morgoth's) includes Ultimacia (FF8).
I do believe the Kramer house (Headed by Edea) will be more mixed, being the place where random characters that I can't put elsewhere (Yuffie, Jessie, Paine, Hojo, Alatar (Maia - one of the Blue Wizards)) will go. It kinda fits Edea to have the ragtag leftovers anyway.
Compared with this households the Valentine house, which has two FF7 characters and one FF8 doesn't seem so odd.

The only issue is that I am not sure how I will fit all of these folks into the neighbourhood but I will have to see how I go on that.

I also saw something rather curious when I got it into my head to send Tidus and Yuna on a date, there is some guy who wandered across my view downtown who has Finrod's head while wearing a Galbadian army uniform (from the much lamented Laguna skin whose head I hated). My first thought on it was "Galbadian elf?!!" I have seen this before, in Magic Town - the random mixing of heads and bodies to create NPCs. There's a couple of interesting cases in MT, one with Celebrían's head and a deep red dress, the other with Arwen's head and a somewhat gypsy-like multicoloured dress. It's kind-of amusing to see but that Galbadian elf... well, that was even more so!

Edit: Oh, and just as I remember it, I went and did what I was planning, I bought the Valentine Household a dog and named it Laguna. I still really think that's fitting, Squall having a dog named after him (especially as I don't have a sim of him)!

Oh, and does anyone know a good idea for a family name for a group of FF9 characters? I have skins of Beatrix, Eiko, Garnet, Kuja and Zidane and I don't know anything about FF9!

Off the top of your head, right now, what ten 'ships would you likely drop what you're doing to read fic for? Or, alternately, what are the top ten ships that you'll give a fic a chance for, or that you've been dying to write, or that you've been dying to read... These can be new loves, old flames, or something in between. Explain if you like, but you don't have to. Then tell us 3 things these ships say about you. Leave a comment about what you think these ships say about me, then repeat in your own LJ.

Don't have to do that last part unless you really want to. Like Ran, I just copied the meme.

A random thought sent me looking for Lord of the Rings sim skins and I stumbled upon a website that has skins for the Silmarillion.

To say that the Bint is pleased is an understatement and a couple of my fellow bonds... well I share the Bint's headspace with some of the Valar and while Manwë has a preference for not wearing a beard (he took a fondness to a celebrity the Bint is a fan of and now wears icons wherever he can of that person) they're both hopping to make a Valar neighbourhood once the skins are downloaded and installed.

Debating religion is crap.

The Bint is christian, in fact she's the sort of christian who believes in a literal 6 day creation and takes many of the stories in the bible at face value.

Frankly, I'm tired of the whole thing so I'm declaring myself exempt from it and declaring myself a Valarist.

Given the Valar I know (online), it'll be a far freer existence.

(This does not reflect in the Bint, she's still a christian, just one with a Valarist alter ego now.)
