SO I had to use Gato's keychain merch as a reference for the shading and coloring, so I apologize if I fucked something up LMAO BUT YEAH THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M GENUINELY IMPRESSED!!! I figured if Gato was to remake the sprites for her new game, it would look a lot like this!
I was planning on editing different Strade's sprites like his emotions and the iconic hammer or drill pose for y'all to use it on your edits, but I'm already exhausted rn so enjoy for what it is rn LOL
Original sprite and character are from @gatobob
(I was bored, but seeing Strade with *straight* hair feels cursed to me-)
if you ever need a creative pickmeup remember that the administrator in tf2 was just this random disembodied old woman voice who announced match info in the game
but then a young lady did a fan design of her for kicks on her blog and da account full of fanart, and valve loved it so much that they bought the character design from her, and they eventually hired her to draw official tf2 comics for them, and now the administratorās this big developed character through multiple oneoffs and arcs and stories in the canon and the fan is now an inhouse comic artist working ft for valve
you never know where your artistic and fandom passions will take you, if you love it and exercise your creativity in fun interesting ways, you never know what could come out of it
Hi prob no one asked but I thought of making random headcanons for Ren because hes bby. Beware it do be long tho
Ren Hana
1. I know he doesn't have an official name in Kanji so Japanese BtD fans would always refer to him by katakana (when you want to pronounce foreign words in Japanese) as ć¬ć³ (Ren). But if he were to have a proper Japanese name with Kanji, it would be čÆč® (Hana Ren). It means Lotus Flower. <3
2. His mom used to sang "Kawa No Nagare No You Ni" and he still remembers it to this day.
1. Thinks anime with lolis in it are fucking cringe (whats wrong with anime industry wtf why is that dragon anime so popular?)
2. His favourite Vocaloid music has to be Drop Pop Candy, and his favourite Vocaloid producer is Jesus-P.
3. His favourite Vocaloid has to be Len and Rin FOR SURE. He just couldn't decide.
4. He has way too many favourite Jpop singers, but that includes REOL, GARNIDELIA, Teddyloid, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Kenshi Yonezu, BABYMETAL, POLKADOT STINGRAY and Eve.
5. HATES NETORARE/NTR! So if he were to go on Nhentai and idk do his own business and turns out it was NTR, he would be sad.
6. Didn't even rub one out when he was reading The Metamorphosis by Shindol and was crying his eyes out. (See what I did there? ;) )
7. His favourite anime he could never forget about are Angel Beats, Madoka, and Your Lie in April.
8. He also watches Invader Zim too and has a Gir hoodie. Sometimes the show reminded him of himself and Strade, a bit too much."
1. Ren has went to an anime convention with Strade. Strade being confused with the vibe and Ren just being like the excited kid in a toy store.
2. Besides chicken hearts, I think Omurice is his favourite too <3
3. He always eats rice with his meals, even suggested Strade to buy a rice cooker and well, he did! (Okay I'm literally Asian and rice is the STAPLE in every Asian cuisine NO LIE)
4. Strade once turned on "Japanese Boy" by Andrea Jürgens (It's the GTA Vice City radio song, and I just learnt it was originally sung in German by a German singer. Like Strade thought it sounds harmless because he heard it on the radio as a kid and doesn't mean any harmful intentions to Ren's culture and all.) and Ren lost his sHIT AND IS UTTERLY CONFUSED?? CONFUSED-IRRITATED?"
I'd be happy to correct anything wrong against canon, or that y'all have more fresh ideas <3
Strade if uhhh he was drawn by Jhonen Vasques
(I got bored and realised TINR and Gato's old art style reminded me a lot of Invader Zim,,, I miss that show YALL. But I love seeing how her art style progresses over time and finally developed her own iconic art style we love and know by now <3)
Strade by @gatobob
I'm a bit of a language nerd, and something hit my realization while I was learning German.
So we know that Japanese has "chan" when you want to call someone cute or endearing right??
Apparently German has that too?? But it's with an 'e' and not an 'a'! It means something cute or small ahfjdkksks, like liebchen, hƤlochen, and so on.
(PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG OR IF I'M ACCIDENTALLY BUTCHERING YOUR LANGUAGE :") AM I DOING THIS CORRECTLY???)
Also the sprites and background are by Gatobob :)
He scammed people?
Going on Hiatus
A mix of voice headcanons and crack together.
Obviously my editing skills are shit but uhhhhh I thought Ren would sound like either of these. Second and third are Sonic fandubs. The first one was that sus flash_kat meme and I thought it sounds so spot on for Ren???
(Sprites are made by gato :) )

First off, it should be said that these viewpoints are my own, and I keep these viewpoints on my own personal accounts. This user is looking at posts Iāve liked, and assuming the absolute worst of me. It bothers me that instead of just asking me (obviously Iām not hiding my opinions) they formed their own narrative and now theyāre posting about it publicly, slandering my name, and defaming my character to a ton of people when they havenāt once asked me whatās up.
And since we're on the unfortunate topic of politics, I'll tell you right now that I don't lean on either side, I am an independent.
First off, yes, I do follow these accounts, and I can break down WHY.
Gays Against Groomers: Literally an organization comprised of both gays/queers AND trans people who are against the idea of children being groomed, especially in regards to gender ideologies. For myself, I did personally realize something was "off" with me when I was younger, I knew I was trans for a long time, but at the same time I would not be able to consent to getting gender transitioning care because I was a CHILD, who still pretended I was other things such as animals or Pokemon. To MAKE IRREVERSIBLE changes to YOUR child's body when they aren't even at the legal age to drink or get tattoos is crazy. There's also science involved in which putting your child on hormone blockers actually makes their bones more brittle, along with their brains not developing properly. With the medical world changing so quickly on people, I'm not saying kids can't be trans/experience dysphoria, but its wisest to wait until your old enough so that way your body can handle the medication and change, and so their brains are mature enough to consent to life changing decisions. Iāve worked with kids of all ages (kindergarten through high school) so I KNOW that some kids know what theyāre about, but then there are just as many kids who will listen to whatever theyāre told most frequently without actually using their brain and thinking about it for themselves/coming to their own conclusions.
I was also someone who was sexually groomed at the age of 16 by a 20 year old woman online, so I am 100% against ANY type of grooming.
Blaire White: I genuinely don't care if people lean left or right politically, and just because Blaire herself is conservative doesn't mean I agree with all of her views. She is also partnered with Gays Against Groomers so I just ended up following her and agreeing with some of her posts.
Stonetoss: Some of his comics are in poor taste and edgy admittedly, but once in a while there's a comic he makes me laugh. I don't see anything on how he's a Nazi however, that seems like a stretch. However, if anyone can provide actual proof of these claims, you can let me know. And again, I don't agree with all of Stonetoss's posts or comics. Just because you follow someone doesn't mean you 100% with EVERY SINGLE THING they say or do, that's crazy.
Transmedscum: This is a person who is trying to bring back to term "transsexual" as "transgender" has become an umbrella term for almost everything to the point where people are now making up things like "age-gender" and other creepy terms to try and fall under the LGBT+ group in order to groom minors. This is an on going problem within online communities and it's only gotten worse over the years. And yes, although I don't agree with xeno/neo pronouns or genders, I'm not going to harass or target anyone who uses them. I don't care nor have the time and energy to care what strangers identify with online.
If you want to identify with being trans/queer/whatever, that's fine, I'm not here to police you. These are just my own personal views. We can all have different opinions and still get along, "agree to disagree" if you will.
There are many pros and cons to transitioning, but don't JUST look at the pros, please acknowledge the cons before you make a life changing decision. A lot of people believed that transitioning was the answer to all their life problems, only to then become another member of the Detrans community (a group of people who transitioned, realized they fucked up on their decision, and try to revert back to their original gender as much as a can, which is hard to do after you go through hormones and surgeries. It's something that people NEED to look into. Again, these are LIFE CHANGING decisions. Make sure you actually NEED it unless you want to live with hard regrets.) I've seen more and more new members joining this subreddit, which means more and more people are regretting their choices.
I find it genuinely disturbing that people are calling me, a transmale, transphobic over finding edgy dumb trans memes funny. I'll try breaking down some of these posts:
Games nowadays are highly customizable, if you're a transwoman, just choose the female option, it's not that hard. I'm a transguy and I always pick the male option. The joke here is that it's pointless to add a transwoman option because...just pick the woman??? If transwomen are women, just pick the woman option! And obviously sometimes these memes push it with the whole "yOU'Re kiLLinG uS" thing but obviously it's just a caricature of a sensitive transperson. I myself, again, a transmale, is not offended by this meme, BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S A JOKE.
Also, did you even READ the screenshots you posted? One of the posts I had was how children shouldn't be at Pride parades because it has fetish gear people in public.
See the little girl with the rainbow skirt? She saw this at the parade:
I find it funny how adult VN communities constantly push for minors to stay out of our spaces, yet you are ok with this? Interesting.
And again, ANOTHER video has someone shaking their tits while children were looking on from the crowd. If you're ok with children looking at this shit, then honestly stay away from me.
And the Stonetoss comic, I thought you guys HATED rich companies banking on LGBT+ groups. This is literally what companies do EVERY JUNE, how have you not picked up on that? Most of these big companies don't even care about queers, they just want your money, so they hope by appealing to younger audiences, they'll get your money by saying "trans rights". It literally feels like you didn't even read the posts I liked and just see Stonetoss's name and said "omg tom is poopy head now :((("
Also like, how is this one bad? Someone was led to believe that anyone wearing a confederate flag was gonna spit on them, but all he did was change their tire and show them respect. People are so paranoid about white people being racist nowadays that they think EVERY Southern guy wants to kill them. Although I don't support the Confederate flag, the context of this is this guy who LOOKS racist ended up not acting racist at all. We need to learn that not every person you come across is going to be some bigot, that's extreme paranoia happening right there. I'm Asian and I've not once had any white person call me any racist name, even when I traveled to the Southern USA. That's not to say racism doesn't exist, but it's been extremely exaggerated over the years to where again, people are paranoid about others. It's been extremely exaggerated within media such as TV shows, especially for plot purposes.
And for the record, @pastelbreakgore it's not fair of you to go through my likes and assume the absolute worse of me without ONCE trying to talk to me like I'm a person. I could of done the same to you. You're clearly upset that I liked a post that was AGAINST pedophilia? If you ACTUALLY read the post, it says how adults are making up new sexualities and genders TO GET CLOSER TO MINORS. If I were to treat you like how you are treating ME, then I would assume the worse and call you a pedophile because you used this as evidence as to why I'm a bad person. So you support this? "I'm a proud neosexual. I think teens are hot."
You have a tag up there saying "anti Latinx", and Iām assuming itās referring to this post.
Where's the "anti-Latinx" tag? I donāt support Alejandra Caraballo because she supports children transitioning and, as I already explained, I have my reservations about it. Why are you bringing her race into it, when Iāve never done that? If I were to treat you like youāre treating me and assume the worst of you, I could claim YOUāRE racist by bringing race into an argument that has nothing to do with that. I donāt honestly think youāre racist, but am I making my point yet? It doesnāt make sense to just jump to the worst conclusion based on the barest information available.
Please read things thoroughly and ASK QUESTIONS of the person before forming your own opinion and then running with it as fact. Especially if youāre telling OTHER PEOPLE itās fact. As someone with a platform, itās your responsibility to be mindful of what you put out there because you undoubtedly have impressionable, younger people who support you and trust you. You make a mistake here by not reading through the posts, and youāve in fact accidentally painted yourself as someone who supports basically pedophilia. I know that wasnāt your true intention and that youāre just trying to look out for your followers/community - but see how you made a mistake, and your community just agreed with you without reading the posts or reaching out to me either? Your community followed your lead. It of course disappoints me to wake up to baseless slander against me, but even if you donāt care about my feelings or me as a person, at least take your followers into account. They trust you, you donāt want to abuse that trust by doing them the disservice of now doing your own, thorough research.
I hope this clears everything, and I'm always open to questions. Next time, perhaps don't make your assumptions about me public before getting to know me first.
I don't even know what to say.
It has come to my attention that artist, writer, and indie gamedev Carnivorekitty/Niwinoodle has a twitter page full of likes that show some extremely toxic and dangerous viewpoints.
Likes include Gays Against Groomers (LGBTQIA+ hate group), Blaire White (Conservative transmedicalist, anti-feminist, racist), Stonetoss (A literal nazi), Transmedscum (toxic transmedicalist), Tim Pool (Far right conspiracy theorist), and general racist posts.
Considering the current climate and the recent declaration of LGBTQIA+ state of emergency in the USA, this is especially hurtful.
EDIT: Admission of transmed added at the bottom, names censored for safety and wish for anonymity.

Now, to cut off any excuses of "I was hacked!" as i often see, here's a transphobic like from months ago.
I'm dying to make headcanons about Jak as a Muslim-raised Murdersim fan myself since I've almost never see any of em here and tbh religion is like a part of my culture and upbringing. Please send your questions or suggestions through reply or reblogs!! (I hope I'm not misrepresenting his character?)
It's also confirmed that Jak is from an Islamic family although he isn't religious himself. I'd also be happy to answer any questions on writing a culturally Muslim character. I understand not every Muslims/Ex-Muslims/Agnostic Muslims aren't all the same so it really depends!
Personally, I like to think even Jak wouldn't ever eat pork like.. ever. This happens commonly among irreligious Muslims and ex-muslims, too. When you get told eating pork is like, the biggest *sin* ever and the Muslims around you would look down on you for eating it, so you just won't eat it.
So ig imagine if Strade from BtD was serving his own homemade pork schnitzel to Jak and he's like "ahhh but it's pork tho ):", Strade would be like "Oh yea I forgot ur a muslim lol silly me oopsies"
I thought it was a meme blog until I went there and realised (possibly) a FUCKING bot took a rare, legendary username.
@ihaveahugeslong please tell me you're real
I CAN'T BELIEVE COLORING TOOK ME OVER 2 HOURS :")
It's not that great, but I think I did my best? I saw Gato's sketch of reboot!Strade and thought it'd be nice to practice my shading and coloring entirely on my phone. :)
@gatobob for the original sketch and basement background <3

God,, I've commissioned this from @/IsitAJ_ on tumblr and this turns out to be a MASTERPIECE *SOBS* it's everything I wanted. *chef kiss* Strade can mistreat me at any point of day and time :)

I donāt know why I spent hours on doing this. I guess itās a way to gain my interest back in The Sims again? This is sort of my first CC? Not really, I didnāt even make these music. All I did was convert stuff.
Anyways I got NO IDEA if anyone actually wants a custom playlist. But itās here if someone needs it, so. Also do take note that all these custom music arenāt in Simlish (unless I got money and the agencies'Ā contacts LMAO) and I had to spend time converting the mp3 files bitrates so that it will work properly in the game. I apologize if the music isnāt as loud as itās gameās original music.
Spop really confuses me, at one point I thought maybe itās their in-game version of Jpop, but it features HWASA in the later packs. So, I put out 3 options. Kpop, Jpop, or both.
For the Metal part uhhh, honestly wish I could add subgenres because Black Metal. Classic Heavy Metal, and Deathcore sound like a whole different fucking world. Well, I said fuck it and separate into bands that are more well-known/mainstream and lesser-known/not so mainstream bands here.Ā To simplify that metal part uhhh Mainstream bands are like Slipknot, Metallica, Poppy, idk any nu-metal bands with huuuuge fanbase really. Less Mainstream are more on either very classic or heavier side not like millions of fans ig, not something youād hear on the radio.
Uhhh hope you enjoy my custom folders ig. Iād list all the songs and artists in here but itās like 5am by the time I post this and I have not SLEPT.
TL;DR
Made folders with custom, trending music.Ā
Not in Simlish, theyāre in Korean/Japanese/English/German sadly.
Comes in 3 types of folders for both Metal and Spop. Pick whatever.
The Spop combo (Jpop + Kpop together) folder is only available in GDrive because SFS hates big files.Ā
IMPORTANT!!!! PLEASE RENAME THE FOLDER TO EITHERĀ āMetalā ORĀ āSpopā AND PUT IT IN āC:\Users\Admin\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Custom Musicā OR A SIMILAR PATH TO YOUR CUSTOM MUSIC FOLDER IF YOU ARE NOT AN ADMIN!!!!

I found these gifs I made a while back for a site thatās not running anymore, so I thought Iād post them here. Itās a description of psychiatric symptoms and states of mind using a pink box and some other stuff.Ā
This playlist mostly contains Industrial Rock or Techno music. Unlike my BTD!Strade playlist, there's more of KMFDM songs instead. No Rammstein (unless you count Emigrate?) or OOMPH! here, sorry.
Strade from This is Not Romance/TINR and playlist cover belongs to @gatobob.
The playlist consists of German Metal bands, specifically the Neue Deutsche HƤrte (NDH)/Industrial Metal genre. The playlist doesn't have English songs or non-NDH bands in it, sorry!
I figured a lot of those music tend to fit Strade's vibe very well. I even have a headcanon myself that Strade probably likes to listen to some of these bands lmao.
So, I'd love to keep this playlist updated! Let me know if there any other bands or songs I should add in!
Strade and playlist cover are made by @gatobob.
i literally cannot get over this video heās so happy heās like a modern day little sailor boy with giant lollipop
STOP ATTACKING ME
yknow that post thats likeĀ āimagine if it was Gpop instead of Kpop and stans would tweet about dudes named Günther Schnitzel being a precious smol beanā cause thats literally just Rammstein fans
