List 5 things that make you happy, then send this to the askbox of the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals and followers!
Ooooo! Hi 👋🏼😊 I’m really interested and excited to learn more about all friends/Tumblr mutuals.
1) My pets. I have a cat and a dog that I would died for (plus animals in general).
2) Baking is my true love. I grew up baking in the kitchen: cookies, brownies, or family birthday cakes. I do plan on working in a bakery and I recently graduated with a Degree in Baking and Pastry Arts.
3) BOOKS! I’m a slut for physical books. Whether it’s romance, mystery, true crime/history of the paranormal, or a vast amount of comic books I have “borrowed” from my dad. I have about 80 books in my collection…
4) Pins, pins, and more pins. It started as a kid with Disney Trading Pins to now having a corkboard, pin bag, and a literal binder filled with so many different pins. Another one of my addictions.
5) Childhood TV shows. I’m a creature of habit and watching old TV shows and cartoons always make me happy especially when watching them with my dad. Some of them could be seen as “kids shows” but one of the things that makes them special.
Now also featuring my final practical cake:
Got an answer from lovely Pooklet. I will change the sims' narrow face and scrawny neck one day...
Hey, i ran into your recent post [Anonymous asked Do you mind people editing sims you’ve put up for download?] in which you talk about editing sims' faces in milkshape. would you mind elaborating on how you go about it? mainly what do you export and how do you import back? I have in mind putting a mesh from another game as a sim's face, that's the goal anyway. I use blender if that matters. Thanks in advance, and have a great day/evening.
hey friend! i posted a semi-tutorial a while back on editing faces in milkshape here, but i'm not actually sure if it would be possible to do what you're talking abt in sims 2, unfortunately. i know it is possible to import other head "objects" (like monitors or helmets or anything that will completely cover the head) as an accessory or hair. that's how we have stuff like screen heads and lord woot.
but ☝️ i don't know if anyone has had success replacing the existing head mesh. from what i have heard, it just breaks the mesh, because sims 2 is so so ancient and not compatible with anything ever. you could possibly do something similar to Drachenfels's skeleton skin which i believes makes the default head invisible with a skin and then you equip the skull as an accessory/hair (don't remember which in this case), but it won't have any facial rigging/animations and would basically be a static object. that's how i understand it anyway.
full disclosure: i could definitely be wrong abt this now or in the future. for a very long time we thought custom sliders were impossible but that is obvs no longer the case. could be that there is a way to replace head meshes and we just haven't found it yet.
I saw ypur post about D&D, did something happen? You kept saying it was a terrible idea and now I'm scared lol
unfortunately yes. @leidensygdom made a really good summary post about it here.

holy shit I just found this blog and I LOVE YOUR XENOBLADE ART AAAAAAAAAAAA
Aww, thank you C: !! Definitely hoping to make more as I make my way through 3.
I - Inventor - How creative is their thinking? Do they seek out the opinions of others or rely on their own ideas? What’s their problem solving approach?
Sena is creative in specific ways, but I don't think he's creative in general - he might think outside the box during a fight as a survival / practical thing, but wouldn't have the patience for an art project or an elaborate strategy.
For the opinions of others, he actually puts a lot of stock into the opinions of the handful of people he trusts; in a lot of ways he sees himself as existing in relation to them, rather than by himself, and that extends to his antagonist arc where he's alone, lost, and lashing out. But he won't listen to like, strangers' advice without someone he trusts vouching for that stranger.
Problem-solving for him falls into either pragmatism (though not utilitarianism since he really only cares about his friends) or "I can fight it", to varying results. He's actually pretty observant and is quick to notice when things are off - though he could probably point them out a bit more tactfully.
As a bonus, since he curses a lot - most of his more creative curses are stolen from characters like SIdurgu or Estinien, because he has trouble coming up with his own.
K - Know It All - Are they a Know-it-All? Do they actively seek out new knowledge? How do they behave around others how have a great amount of knowledge on a topic?
Sena isn’t in the traditional sense, but I think there’s a lot of overlap between his cynical worldview and him thinking “I know more than you!”
Even pre-ARR, he thinks that most people are bad, which is something that gets reinforced pretty regularly. But for more concrete, specific topics…
He does want to get stronger to protect the handful of people he actually cares about, and actively pursued that! But him being so cynical sabotages his progress - he doesn’t always want help, which he equates with helplessness, and he doesn’t trust that many people, which means finding someone else to teach him things can be super hard.
He thinks people with greater academic knowledge are just nerds, though.
6. How important is wealth to your character?
Oooh, Sena's relationship with this is interesting!
He knows he needs money to live, and becoming an adventurer alongside his friend is something that I think was motivated by running out of money and needing to eat (at least partly). He doesn't care about wealth per se but a lot of his attitude in general is very survival-minded, and a part of that is being able to afford things.
I'd say his attitude is somewhere between this tumblr post where someone talks about how one of their life goals is to get an apartment, and they're asked why they don't want more, to which they respond with "I can't afford it / it's unrealistic / in this economy?" (I can't find it, I looked), and a few conversations early in Library of Ruina that boil down to "I can't be worrying about other people or dismantling the system or whatever, I have my own stuff to deal with!"
If terror is the feeling of dread and apprehension at the possibility of something frightening and horror is the shock and repulsion of seeing the frightening thing, name a time your character has been terrified and a time they were horrified. How did they deal with these emotions? Was the terror, for example, unfounded, or the horror too much?
A time your character was terrified
I make a lot of "Sena's dead boyfriend" jokes, but the moments leading up to that were pretty much exclusively this. He doesn't know where his friend went, anticipates the worst, and then something he's been scared of up to that point actually happens.
For things that happen in-story, he has a few of these, but being left alone in Ultima Thule really freaks him out.
More under the cut! Contains full spoilers for Endwalker.
A time they were horrified
THIS ONE WAS ACTUALLY SUPER HARD TO ANSWER.
I want to say the massacre early in ARR, which got to him pretty bad; he starts to come out of being an "I only care about this one person" type edgelord, he starts getting along more with people, and then those people die and he goes right back to that.
Also slightly unusual one, but the combination of dragoon and having issues with his scales makes the conversation with Vrtra deeply unpleasant for him in a way that isn't quite horror, but comes close.
How did they deal with these emotions? Was the terror, for example, unfounded, or the horror too much?
Sena tends to deal with his negative emotions in general by covering them with anger and then not actually dealing with them, but even moreso when he's scared. Him wanting to be strong is an extension of this; he wants to protect his friends, but also, if he can fight it, he has agency in the situation.
Complete silence stops him in his tracks, though.
5 and 6 for the ffxiv asks?
5. Which, if any, of the major cities or cultures does your WoL/OC consider to be their childhood point-of-origin? Why did they leave? Do they go back and visit? How do they feel about coming from this place?
Sena is technically from the Steppe, but he left pretty young and doesn't remember it well. He spent some time just trying to survive, and doesn't really consider anywhere specific to be "home", which is a bit of a downer, but it's definitely in a "home is other people" sense.
He does go back there for story reasons (still working out the logic since Stormblood is his villain arc, admittedly), but it's a weird experience for him, which is made weirder by how much NPC dialogue there is specific to Xaela (Hien's "you may not have been born here" line actually really rubs him the wrong way).
6. Has your WoL/OC ever canonically fantasia'd to another species? Have they considered doing so? If so, what made them choose that species? How does that affect their relationships with those who were born as the species they changed into?
Sena has not; he's very protective of his horns and scales and losing them again would weird him out.
If he did Fantasia, he'd probably be a catboy. Not much reason behind this other than it just feels right.
tell me how Sena would react if a friend came to him needing a shoulder to cry on, sobbing!
Depends on how much he likes them! He isn't that good at offering words of support (he tends to be pretty coarse and has his own issues), but can offer a literal shoulder to cry on. He would 100% let someone he cared about cling to him, and offer awkward hugs and headpats.
He would also offer violence against whoever made them feel that way, which is ... not the healthiest outlet, but he would (I can't find the post, but it's along the lines of "kill him" "no!" "then i will kill him for you").
(bonus: the reason he lets people cling to him is because he also wants physical affection when he's upset, though this is still proportional to how much he likes and whether he feels safe around the other person to start with).
