Nervous Subject - Tumblr Posts
Drew this a few days ago now I’m gonna let you all view it
I thought I'd have a go at creating someone from scratch, so here is my version of Nervous Subject. I think he looks sufficiently tortured and in need of a hug.
Playing around with my Nervous! Added some more skin details and scars. My poor baby! He's had a rough life.

I was playing around in CAS, and suddenly I had this guy looking at me. I didn't mean to (it really was a random Sim I was making to stop me from playing dress up with Wolfie once again), but I guess it's now my version of Nervous?
Not that I would know what to do with him, as he has no place in my soap-operaesque verse (though, I could always be surprised by what my brain would come up with), but here he is and I love him.

Found these old photos of my Sims 4 version of the "Singles" hanging out, no pics of kristen but she's the background of Lola sleeping
I adore this
Cassandra reminds me of Wednesday and Circe looks so hot damn
What If… The Sims 2 Was An Early 2000s Drama Movie?
I asked that to myself today and did some fake stills related to the lore with the help of Bing AI! Some of these turned out so good (IMO) that I couldn’t help but imagine how a real movie adaptation of The Sims lore would look like 😭
Will probably do more some time soon!
My dear Nervous you are the true son of Death
He's on his way to the club
Nervous Subject escapes to Night City

Nervous doesn't remember much about his childhood other than traumatic memories. Hell he doesn't even remember his real name anymore... it's all blurred with nothing but physical pain, electrocution, strange drugs with bad side effects, torture, isolation... He vaguely recalls when they came to take him away from Olive... then he found them. As if the Strangetown Orphanage he'd escaped from wasn't enough, those two ....monsters took him in. He was alone one night in the park, starving hungry, the locals wouldn't give him any food, he heard the whispers, dark whispers about his mother. He had even tried to go back to her but a young girl named Ophelia opened the door and warned him to stay away, stating the rumours were true and to get out while he still could. He didn't believe the girl, who was apparently his cousin until she showed him proof, aside from the gravestones: Olive's diary, where she confessed that Nervous's father was in fact the Grim Reaper himself. Ophelia quickly hid her journal back in its spot and he agreed to find help elsewhere. He felt like a freak. He was ostracised and ignored and slept on the park benches until two strangers approached him, offering him not only a place to stay but a job. Nervous remembers feeling hopeful, happy even, as the couple who "adopted" him brought him to what seemed like a Castle. He was so excited, then they told him he'd be helping them do important research. They told him he'd be a scientist with them, and he believed that. He thought someone finally wanted him, Olive certainly hadn't fought for him and as the rumours stated his mother was really a killer. All those new graves in their "garden" that Ophelia had shown him had proven that. The first night in the castle was ok, though Nervous hated his room. It was a hole in the ground of a lab. After that he was subjected to certain tests. It was like the monsters knew something he didn't, like they were looking for something in him, waiting for him to do something but he didn't know what. Maybe they knew he was the spawn of the Reaper or that something was wrong with him...Over the years the experiments got more painful but Circe and Loki, those were the monsters names, kept telling him it was necessary for science, for knowledge and discovery, for the greater good. But it hurt, more and more, they had him brainwashed, had him believing he had nowhere else to go, no one to turn to, he needed their "care" and "protection" and they stopped paying him long ago. They were a lot nicer (as much as they could be) when he complied as opposed to when he didn't. Loki was a scientist and inventor at Arasaka and Circe was a medic and biologist for Biotecnica. They constantly used him for their experiments that they didn't have company approval for or wanted to keep on the down low, but sometimes it was for their own sick entertainment. He'd sometimes sneak out to the Curious household when they had to go to their HQ's in the city. Honestly they didn't even think to lock him up, they genuinely had him so brainwashed they thought he wouldn't try to leave. He ended up making friends with Pascal, who repeatedly told him to get out when he learned he wasn't happy, saw the bruises and scars; but he felt trapped and couldn't bring himself to admit to Pascal just what they were actually doing to him. Until one day he told him. He had to, he was in such bad shape, all bandaged up and bloody, Pascal forced him to sit down and confess. Pascal was horrified and offered for him to move in, but Nervous couldn't stand the thought of them finding him again. Nervous also knew he struggled controlling his outbursts, he often lashed out and panicked and couldn't behave like a normal person, he wasn't stable and Pascal had a kid to take care of. Pascal thought of the next best thing, helping him get out of town, start a new life in the City. He gave him simoleons and a vehicle and wished him luck, hoping he'd finally be able to start a life he could at least tolerate.
Nervous arrived in Night City, rented an apartment with Pascals simoleons now changed up into eddies and suffered the effects of PTSD for a long time, he heard voices as usual but it got worse over time. He'd hear the voices at night and pound his head into the window to stop them, shatter his mirror to shut it up or stop looking at that god awful barcode they put on him. At first he thought his bruises weren't healing but then he realised he was inflicting them on himself at this point. He spent a good chunk of his time in Night City just trying to get by, he didn't find any work other than small merc jobs, and seeing as he was desperate he got into it. In fact it was perfect, somehow it seemed Nervous had a lot of pent up energy, he never got tired no matter how little he slept, took gig after gig and they progressively got more challenging. He sucked at stealth, always charging in like an angry violent animal, but he always got it done. After what the Beakers put him through he was done with the bullshit, nothing would faze him. But the more time went by the more his fear and anxiety festered, he started to process, he held a grudge, he started to feel the anger, the years worth of anger he'd stuffed down and not been allowed to feel so he wouldn't be "ungrateful" or threatened by the beakers into even worse experiments, or made to shove his feelings aside at the promise of a reward like a shitty stereo instead of more electric shock therapy. No he was mad now... he didn't want to run away anymore, he didn't want to walk another day knowing those two were still out there, living their lives after what they did to him. Nervous started to get stronger out of sheer will, he didn't have much else to fight for in a place like Night City. He got new cyberware, tons of experience under his belt and it was easy enough. The violence was easy once he lost his fear, once he realised he was all he could count on right now. He never had time for friends, not like he was very likeable anyway with how broken he was. Part of him had wished to take Pascal up on his offer but he needed to heal. And to heal he needed to slay his demons, real and metaphorical. He didn't have time to play games. He was going back to Strangetown to settle his score.
nervous, just because you're not dead,
doesn't mean you're alive.
there's more to all this than just breathing.
IS THAT NERVOUS SUBJECT AND OPHELIA?!

In case you're still doing the drabble thing, may I suggest number 3 and Erin Beaker?!
I always love writing prompts and drabbles. Please, check out my various lists and send me more! I will always accept more!
Incidentally, the little house described in the prompt is based on my own little house. The prompt turned out just as fluffy and sweet as I hoped. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think!
Prompt #3: Could you be happy here, with me?
The house was tiny–miniscule, in fact, compared to the other places she’d lived–but Erin loved it the moment she walked in. The front room was painted a dull off-white and the cream-colored carpet was worn, with a couple of faded stains. Erin didn’t care. She was already imagining it painted in bright colors, with some of her art hung on the walls and furniture arranged just so.
“It’s awfully small,” Nervous said, wringing his hands in that way he had. “Are you sure there would be enough room?”
“There are three bedrooms,” Erin said. “We only need one right now.”
Nervous looked at the slight swell of her belly and bit his lip. “We’ll need two in a few months.”
“Exactly!” Erin chirped. “So that leaves one room that could be an office if we needed it to be, until we have someone else to go in it. And with this space, we’d have plenty of room for friends to come over. I bet we could even throw a party!”
Nervous kept twisting his long pale fingers together. “But what if--”
Erin shook her head. “No more buts,” she said. “No more what ifs. This is the right place for us.”
“Are you sure you could be happy here, with me?” he asked.
Erin took his hands, stopping his fidgeting. She laced her fingers with his and looked up, green eyes meeting brown. “I love you,” she said. “I am going to marry you. I am having your child--our child. I would be happy here or in a castle or on the moon, if I was with you.”
Nervous Subject, now a teenager! He's Excitable, Neurotic, a Coward, and now Shy.
I know he's supposed to have that mohawk, but I couldn't bring myself to inflict a sim with it. : /
Nervous went to Prom! I had him get together with a random townie child that I actually like, Meagan Sielen, daughter of Seema Sielen and Todd Landgraab from Midnight Hollow. Apparently they had a wonderful night together, so woo!
I'm infinitely amused by the fact that Nervous is in his Sleepwear for his prom picture. I changed both of them into their Formal outfits before, too!
