Someone overheard that I'm working with terraria and gave me this fairy garden lantern so I could turn it into a terrarium. :D So today I deconstructed it and cleaned the container.
The lantern part has an open top with a hanging loop and a solid base. It has a hexagonal shape with a narrow top, widest part below the middle, and slightly narrower base. The panes appear to be rigid plastic. The frame seems to be metal. There's a bit of heft to the base, even when empty.

Name: Modeling
Story: Tales from the Neighborhood
Plot Thread: Michael, Robert, and Stephen
Colors: Warm Heart #23: Insolent
Styles and Supplies: Vaudeville, Silhouette, Life Drawing, Glue ("It's possible that someone will question your motives or wonder whether or not you're genuine, Virgo. Don't take it the wrong way. You don't take everything at face value either. Show your sincerity by following through and sticking by your word. If you can't avoid going back on your word, explain the situation to the person involved. This will show that you're sincere.")
Word Count: 880
Rating: T
Warnings: Mention of casual sex, Light swearing
Characters: Michael Wolf, Philip Marsh
Summary: Michael meets someone new during a class.
Notes: This did not happen in my sims game, and also has very little actual relevance to the Sims, so I'm not tagging it Gesso here. This is entirely inspired by an irate tumblr post that I saw like ten or twelve years ago complaining about fanfics that used nude modeling art class as like, a sexy meet cute scenario, which went into great detail about how nude modeling art class is the least sexy scenario ever. Anyway, I have never actually read a fanfic like that (I think I just don't read enough college AUs) so this scenario had never really occurred to me before, and my brain immediately went, ok, but what if it was an unsexy meet cute, like the model went into it with a completely wrong set of expectations and it didn't work out like they'd planned? And then I immediately started imagining this happening to my neighborhood's resident slutty art student. I'm not an artist and have never been in one of these classes, so all of the details here are sourced directly from my decade-old memories of a funny tumblr post, so I apologize for any inaccuracies. Hopefully this is actually as funny as it was in my head.
