Weekend Project Post

Was sick for the better part of the day yesterday and cold meds do some hilarious things to your priorities, let me tell you. So it looks like our first Saturday Project Post will be on a, er, Sunday.

So here's how this is going to work: every Saturday, a mod will make a post with themed threads that members can reply to and discuss in. We've picked some themes to start but depending on what direction the posts take, threads may be modified or added.

See the starter comments below to get an idea of the format, and comment away! If you have any questions or want to discuss something not covered by the main threads, reply here!

THESE ARE GOOD LINKS AND YOU SHOULD FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEM.

omg short men's hair, yessssss. Or, like, just shy of chin length without being super poofy? I love mid-length male hairs but they're so often way more ~voluminous~ than I like. :\

That reminds me, I wanted to futz with that hair a bit. I like the idea, but the short flippy bits bother me and the overall shape could use some tweaking. To milkshape!

... Ooooh. I REALLY like this hair on toddlers and girls, but not being able to edit out the bangs when there's a perfectly passable hairline up under there makes me sulk and pout.

Is there? I'll have a look! I meant the weird short bits on the ponytails but yeah! If nothing else, I want to try to shorten the longest part of the fringe, because it looks so weird and flat from certain angles, bleh.

SNEAKER MESHES. Specifically, high-tops. What I wouldn't give for high-tops that weren't just painted onto the leg. D:

It's not a work of art or anything, but it doesn't look incredibly stupid or like you're raising a toddler version of Fraiser Crane. Best of luck!

I FEEL SO GOOD AND HAPPY.

MUSIC THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU, WORLD:

I have been on such a dance music kick and I am not even a little bit sorry.

OH MY GOD YOU ASSHOLE

I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING kdhfglkdhflhdflgd

I've been obsessed with Dragon Age lately and dude, it is seriously fucking amazing.

Like in Orzammar: FUCKING DARKSPAWN THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE FOR THEY'RE NOT ROGUES AND DON'T HAVE STEALTH

... yeah.

You mean like the ones that came with H&M? They don't have the converse logo, but I'm pretty sure that was the inspiration. They're also actually on a mesh. C:

Those are nice, but I mean higher ones! Not necessarily Converse, though. Not a fan of the brand but definitely the style.

OOOOOOOOOOHH. Then I definitely agree. :D
I've secretly wanted something like these for a while too.

I am working on it! 8D
But now I want to do showers... and bathtubs.. and sinks.
WE NEED MORE BATHROOM STUFF
AND TRASHCANS
And a recolor of that trash chute from apartment life.

Due to hitting the damned file limit this week, I decided to start a New New Game, fresh, with a lot less custom content. Aiming for recolors and default replacements of nearly everything before I get absolutely new stuff, mainly to see if I can. Rediscovering how much bizarre Maxis clothing there is.

I had been meaning to start making public posts with this New New Game, even though it's basically a content test, but then I was an idiot and accidentally made REALLY SMALL screenshots. Not entirely given up on it, but I'll have to dig up a fractal image resizer, see how it works. Tiny screenshots BAD.

I also did the Photoshop work for a range of skins I was thinking I'd try, which I haven't gotten around to actually making into skins because... it's a Pooklet 3.0 range using Pixie Chalk as the base to make Volatile from, so that's a range of 42 skins complete. Argh. Also, some of the skins have very clear banding that I'm going to have to smooth out first. Not sure whether I'm going to geneticize them as 0 to 1 with default replacements, for a completely weird neighborhood, or do the naturals as 0 to 0.99 and the customs as 1 to 2.

The mesh is pretty cute, but the chunks of hair kind of bother me. A lot of Nouk's hairs have the strands clumped together in big chunks, instead of individual strands. Also, I wish the fringe wasn't so long. I'd like to have a pigtails hair without fringe or bangs!

I made these eyes and because I have a mac, I can't use simpe which means I can geneticize them. So I was wondering if someone could geneticize for me?

Much agreed, dear friend, much agreed.

I myself have been doing nothing but playing Dragon Age. I WILL BECOME QUEEN OF FERELDEN ALISTAIR, YOU BEST WATCHYOSELF.

Dude, seriously, so would I. I tried alpha-editing the bangs off of Nouk's mesh there and... well, the pigtails went away, too, and I was sad.

Working on it. 8D I'll see how it looks with the fringe just sawed off. If it doesn't look good, I'll try to tweak at it some.

I love Good Omens too, for those very reasons. :D (Well, and that I adore the writing of both co-authors.) I'm an atheist-leaning agnostic, so as you can imagine I'm pretty allergic to being preached to.

I, Lucifer is heavier on the theology and rather less flippant, but it's firmly on the side of humanity, and the themes are very much about humans and what we do to one another.

Which is what interests me more, yeah. I was really lucky to take a fantastic course on ancient and biblical literature my first year of college, taught as literature rather than religious doctrine and it has imbued me with a deep affection for fictionalizations of the heaven/hell myth. Blab blab blab.

FOODS. I can't remember who it was, but someone at GOS posted a request for ideas for making custom food. I had so many ideas, but I don't think any of them got made. Specifically, I'd like more meals that look like complete meals (such as pasta with a side salad and vegetables, instead of just pasta), some fruit desserts, and maybe some themed meals, like picnic lunches or junk food meals (twinkie casserole, anyone?)

Happening to me this week-

Dad is driving again!! Whoo i don't have to drive him everywhere..i still get to live there though...not so whoo.

Boyfriend is just grr and having as much emotions as a rock.

I turn 21 this weekend!!!.......Not that that changes anything really anyway. :P

and my latest music craze is back to being obsessed with The Backstreet Boys. and AJ = LOVE:
