some things we should start romanticising

bike rides, especially when listening to music. the wind in your hair, the songs in your ears, every sound being quiet and living in your own bubble of lyrics. (edit: in some countries this is illegal and it can be dangerous - i had not thought of that and i apologise)

sitting in a bus. you’re going back home, maybe you’re reading a book or just looking outside of the foggy glass.

making tea. warming up the water, bringing it to a simmer and closing the gas, pouring it into a ceramic mug, the perfume of tea leaves: it’s a ritual.

buying a new book. walking in a book store, reading the first page of a book that sounds interesting, choosing a book because of its cover, never having heard of that book.

reading the last page of a book. that one doctor who episode where the doctor says he rips the last page of each book he reads, reading the last line and feeling like all the air in your lungs is gone.

that one specific moment when you are coming back from a party and you’re walking the few last steps before getting home. 

writing your name on a new notebook. scribbling messy letters or trying hard to make it look pretty.

tying shoe laces. where are you even going?

picking a flower. getting off the road and into a patch of grass just to pick a yellow wild flower, pressing it in a book, or putting it in a glass of water.

finally getting to bed. the cold bedsheets, closing your burning eyes, the small sounds of the city.

everything about Jesper and Wylan (it was a gunshot. It was prairie fire) and Kaz and Inej (but not so broken that he couldn't pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her) and Matthias and Nina (they were twin souls, soldiers destined to fight for different sides, to find each other and lose each other too quickly) is so poetic I want to SCREAM

Andrew Garfield: “To heal the most traumatic moment of his own life through doing it for his younger brother. Making sure that he didn’t have the same fate, there’s something cosmically beautiful about that. It meant getting a second chance at saving Gwen.”

SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME (2021) dir. Jon Watts Screenplay by Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers

Shop The Look

Happy New Year!! 

We are kicking 2022 off with a new concept that I’m hoping will be just the first of many more to come…Shop The Look! This series transforms real life into The Sims, as you can see from the 2nd & 3rd images. The real life inspiration comes from the furniture store West Wing & you can Shop The Look for real HERE. It was really fun to take an inspiration image and try and recreate as close to possible in The Sims, which is very different to how I normally create sets. 

Set Includes:

Armchair

Loveseat

Sofa

Sideboard

End Table

Coffee Table

Floor Lamp

David Sculpture

Wooden Decorative Bowl

Decorative Marble Tray

Decorative Marble Tray with Candle

I didn’t come looking for an apology, Jesper. You have a weak spot. We all have weak spots.”

“What’s yours?”

“The company I keep,” she said with a slight smile.
