Sims Dream: I finally had one!

Hey, I actually dreamt about sims last night, but it wasn't really a sims dream as much as a sims story update dream. I dreamt I accidentally posted the next part of chapter 27, but without any images. Then, when I tried to quickly remove the post before anyone noticed it, the computer crashed, and by the time I made it back to the post there where a bunch of WTF reactions to the post. Heheh. What a lame dream. The comments to the post were actualy really off-topic and funny, though, so that part was amusing. I think people were talking about babies or something.

Like many dreams, there's some truth in it. I do have the writing for that update almost ready to post, but I have no images taken for it at all. I hope to do some work on that today, but I'm tempted to just read Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi and Black Hole by Charles Burns all day instead. My SO and I went to visit a comic/anime fanboy friend of ours last night, and we did our usual trade of reading materials. We left him with some Ivan Brunetti.

Also, we drank one or two beer more than we should have, and wandered home pretty late last night, and what did I do before I went to bed? I downloaded Nathan Peet. Some people would just eat something covered in cheese and go to bed, but not me... I download sims. I'm not sure what I planned to do with him, but I'll figure something out.

I amused myself by reading simsecret too, which I haven't bothered with in a while. The Tank/Frances secret really made me laugh, and the reactions made me smile too. Or should I say Frances/Tank? There was quite a bit of top vs. bottom debating going on. Clearly this is a hot topic for debate. :P

Haha, sounds like a fun dream kind of. Part nightmare maybe? But a silly nightmare, that isn't really THAT awful.

Also, Tank/Frances only if it's sloooow and pays attention to awkward Tank. And also not before Frances gets some happiness with Beau, because he needs that.

Oh and I mentioned that 'who tops' debates are silly! They are! Really! Tank doesn't NEED to top and Frances doesn't NEED to bottom. And if they do enter into a relationship I'm sure that would switch from time to time, even if they do usually does settle into one role.

Yeah, it was a nightmare, but not a very scary one. It's just soemthing stupid I keep expecting myself to do one of these days... editing a future chapter and accidentally posting it before it's ready.

I agree. Even if Tank is actually gay, I can't see him jumping on that bandwagon anytime soon. I think his friendship with Frances is more interesting than any sort of sexual relationship between them anyway. I think they'll become very good friends, and that will mean a lot to them.

I agree. There aren't really any hard and fast *teehee* rules about topping and bottoming, and it really doesn't have to be set in stone. It's funny to see people squabble about it, though. I do tend to mostly agree with them in the case of Tank/Frances, having thought about those characters in a lot of detail. I don't think that Frances would necessarily always be a bottom, but I do think that Tank would probably always be a top... that's if he was ever with a man, and that's a pretty big "if".

*Ahem*

May I butt in (oh god, now I'm doing it) for a second?

In my game Frances is definitely the horniest sim ever. He is the one who almost ALWAYS initiates the moves. He and Guy must woohoo about twice a day- not to mention the constant makeouts they do in front of their children.

I should mention that they only have one bolt for eachother- it doesn't seem to matter though. XD

So yeah, I think that he wouldn't mind taking turns.

But Tank? Definitely a top.

The debate is so silly. Why does it matter so much? It shouldn't if anybody is in a loving relationship.

Hmm, how about this. Tank tops except on Christmas and Birthdays. Eh - eh?

Heheh. You never know...

(I'm laughing at the idea of skipping church to do it on Christmas day. *snicker* Amusingly, I can't say I haven't done that very thing while I was "supposed" to be in church.)

I can only speak for myself here, but after a while, I imagine that most people will try out almost everything they possibly can. It might not work out, or it might be too silly to go through with, but people get bored of doing the same thing every single time, so they try new things.

See? SEE? Just like I said. ;)

I think there's more to Frances than meets the eye, for sure.

It really is all completely silly, and it doesn't matter at all as long as everyone's happy. And people can be surprisingly different behind closed doors. I stand by that.

All of the in game antics are really helping me write him in IB, that's for sure. I think you'll be very amused with some of the things I've come up with.

He is also always bringing up guys that he thinks are attractive in conversations... Like [livejournal.com profile] madame_ugly's Galacticon Farquest. XD

"I think there's more to Frances than meets the eye, for sure."

I've been thinking about that ever since the chapter where he made out with Ripp. Sure, it was him that did the first kiss, but Frances was the one who took it to the next level. There is definitely more that we don't know about him.
