The icon says it all (with a smile)

Don't ask me why I was so dedicated to the task of making an icon with Ripp giving you all the finger, but once the idea popped into my head, it became a personal challenge (and you never know when something like that could come in handy, right?). Sim hands are ridiculously stumpy and lacking in detail, so it looks pretty goofy and a little like one of those foam sports hands that fans wave, but I think it came out looking okay, don't you?

The stupid grin keeps it playful, so even when used to tell someone to sit on it, it doesn't appear overly aggressive. I can easily imagine Johnny on the receiving end of this gesture, instead of, say, Tank. 

I have writer/simmer's block. Can you tell?

Whoa! How did you manage to make him do that! I'd never seen a sim do that before. Yup, it is definitely a playful, even friendly finger, if there's such a thing!

I also have writers block :S.

It looks awesome. Such a Ripp thing to do. :P

Now I feel guilty for being on such a creative roll! I wish I could give it to you, I'd much rather see your story. :D

It looks a little odd, but sim-like enough to make me laugh when it landed in my inbox at work :P

I love Ripp, and it's definitely a friendly finger. Hopefully the bit of creative drive that made you make this will inspire you further soon!

I love the icon. You make Ripp absolutely hilarious. Whenever someone e-messes with you can be like "PSHAH *FLIPS THE BIRD*"~

gives you reason to use your icon...

JRO IS GROSS AND YOU SHOULD STOP WRITING IT. I'M SERIOUS. EVERY TIME I READ ABOUT RIPP WANTING TO HUMP OPHELIA I VOMIT UNCONTROLLABLY. AND JOHNNY IS THE WORST PERSON EVER - I HATE HIM BECAUSE HE IS UNINTERESTING AND JOHNNY/JAYNE 4-EVAH.

LMAO! This all makes me wanna blow the dust off this one...

I gather someone on Insim Adult was actually working on a real animation for sims to do, triggering relationship hits with whoever they did it to. It looked pretty good, too. I hope they're still working on it - and since Pescado saved the day after that fiasco, we'd still be able to check :D

Love the icon! Sorry you are experiencing blockage. Hope it passes soon!

Haha, lovely icon :D It's a very friendly finger *snicker* Creative constipation sucks - just remember that suspension of disbelief is your friend ;)

I've had a bit of writers/simmers block for like the past 3 months. I think I'm finally getting out of it though. To me, that's a good and a bad thing. I spent all yesterday making over everybody in Strangetown for the two parties. And since installing Apartment Life, my game is running extremely slow. The next chapter in IB is definitely going to be hell to shoot because of all of the sims.
