#IMVU Themed Room

[neptunes-sol-angel]

As a dedication to internet babies like myself, this is a pick a card about your cyber alter ego. I will channel stuff about your digital footprint and your cyber alter ego, and what you can learn from it.

Pile One

What is your digital footprint?

I feel like your digital footprint isn't easily traceable. You could be drawn to social networks like MySpace, but heavily into chat rooms or even forums. I'm not really seeing anything that makes me think of this as something that's in your past, I feel that these platforms could be a strong interest in your present, and that you also like to rotate in between sites with a new identity every single time. I do get that catfishing could be a guilty pleasure of yours, or sites where you are able to talk to real people without revealing too much of your identity which could explain why your internet whereabouts are hard to track.

About your cyber alter ego + What can you learn from it?

Your cyber alter ego, could be a hyper  representation of a side of yourself that you don't feel confident enough to show to others, or an embodiment of what you feel you lack im real life. I'm picking up a lot of themes relating to promiscuity. I'm not getting that online dating or commitments online is what you like, it's the thrill of testing your appeal on others and exploring the different ways that you can successfully flirt and draw in a person. Your cyber alter ego could also be ever-changing and flighty, but also vibrant? Popularity could be easy for you to attain on any platform. In person, your persona could be opposite, maybe "Gothic", where you're reserved meaning, not as open with others, or you're not seen around many individuals. Whay you can learn from your cyber alter ego, is that the way that you're able to entice people online isn't pulled out of thin air, the alter ego is derived from yourself, which still essentially means that it's a part of you and is real. It's already within you, you just have to feel comfortable with expressing it face to face. Spend time with yourself by learning how to love the sound of your own voice, by setting up prompts for you to speak into the mirror with, or even try recording yourself, and anything else that involves eye contact with yourself. If you have social anxiety but are in spaces where you still have to communicate with others, just keep it simple when you're speaking and don't feel pressured to elaborate your sentences, and lastly, let time be your secret weapon, don't fall for relying on substances to make yourself more outgoing, just remember that you don't have to be anyone else but yourself at whatever time that you feel comfortable to. Also, don't let discourage yourself from approaching others for a conversation either!

Pile Two

What is your digital footprint?

I'm hearing "skimpy" but "long". Your digital footprint could be coordinated and can easily traced back to when you were a kid. Maybe you guys are hard-core gamers, and loved mmorpg games. There's something that I'm picking up about accounts, maybe you have a long history with x-box, steam, or any other software that offers a variety of different games to play. You could have a username that you use for many different accounts where you're providing other people content, or you're watching another person's content. Games from your childhood could be significant too as well (or maybe there's this game that you've been playing since you were a kid), like IMVU, Meez, OurWorld, Wizard101, Webkinz, Toontowns, etc.

About your cyber alter ego + What can you learn from it?

Your cyber alter ego could be strongly related to your inner child, the embodiment of the freedom that you didn't have so much of (strict parents?) in real life. Being able to talk the way you want as well as about what you want. Being drawn to games with avatars, where you can dress them how you've always wanted to dress yourself. Or even just loving fantasy themed sites because it's another escape from reality. What you can learn from your cyber alter ego, is more about remembering the care free expression with little to no restrictions that you've experienced with being online, in real life. I feel like people in the pile could be consumed by the responsibilities and pressure that comes with being older, and are in need of a break. When you have the time, take a chance to look back at those games that you used to play and see if they're still available. Log-in or create a new account and try to do something different relating to what you couldn't do when you were younger, like for an example, if you were on punishment a lot, or told that your internet usage was time-limited by a parent (or teacher! Because I'm literally thinking about coolmath and those papa pizzeria games), play for as long as you want, if there was a premium feature that you had to pay for, but your parents didn't let you, try buying it yourself just to indulge in the nostalgia and excitement of finally being able to do it, even if it wasn't what you expected it to be. Most importantly, just have fun and see this as a space for yourself that doesn't give you stress.

Pile Three

What is your digital footprint?

Immediately I'm picking up girlsgogames, stardoll, vsco, pinterest, and standom pages. Your digital footprint is very consistent and Venus related. A lot of you could be content creators related to blogging, aesthetic pages, have a platform where you share beauty and self-care tips, or graphic design. I haven't even gotten to your cyber alter ego part yet, but I want to say that you guys are awesome! Please pass me some of your organization skills and your will to loyally stick with your projects. I'm seeing YouTube (vlogging) being a significant part of your digital footprint as well.

About your cyber alter ego + What can you learn from it?

Your cyber alter ego is your safe space. The place where you can have control and order but also peace that you maybe don't get in real life. Your alter ego could also relate to giving others the help that you actually want for yourself. In some way, you heal others by combining words and visuals that promotes motivation, productivity, and enthusiasm. Even if you aren't into spirituality, subliminals or law of attraction or assumption pages, you really do help a lot of people with manifestation and perseverance. What you can learn from your alter ego, is that the the help and love that you give to others, can also be given to you because you deserve it, you know? You're someone worthy to believe in too, and the way that you effectively help the community, regardless if it's on the internet, is proof of that. Don't be hard on yourself but also remember that the life that you want for yourself is obtainable and that things won't always be this rough for you, because life doesn't necessarily "get" better, you do. Take a look at the content that you create and really give yourself a pat on the back at all that you've already accomplished and shared with others whenever you feel down about what hasn't happened yet.

Meet the Writer

ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘɪᴄᴋ ᴜᴘ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛ ᴍᴜꜱᴇ(ꜱ) ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ?

(CANON MUSES) - Hyperfixation or go home. Aerith has been a character I have written since about 2016, but before writing for her I always had a strong attachment. I was actually scared to write her because of how attached I was, because what if my thoughts didn't do her justice? She was my first heartbreak in a videogame, and I know for a fact when I discovered fanfiction I was only interested in Aerith-centric stories. I'll have to break them out of baby jail but I have the Play Arts Vol. 1 Aerith and Tifa figures from around 2005, they're stowed away under my bed "for safe keeping" from my era of not displaying the things I love most. (OCs) - I began roleplay through creating original characters in original settings, and to be honest it's way more fulfilling than worrying about canon portrayal because you bend and grow your own character as you see fit. I think my roleplay journey is something embarrassing like 8 year old Muddy honking with other 8 year old friends with tabletop RPGs, then 12 year old Muddy honking on neopets writing one liners with other 12 year olds, to 13 year old Muddy being introduced to teenchat which had chat rooms specifically for roleplay that were flooded by horny old men (asl?) and a few actual writers, and from those few actual writers I learned that we could simply write over MSN messenger to each other without the creeps! Then a 14 year old Muddy was introduced to something called IMVU which was like sims but chat bubbles wow cool! Insert a period where I dropped off from that noise for a couple of years because of schoolwork. 17 year old Muddy returned, and started over new with this nonsense, and I eventually met my viking of a friend Odin and shifted to the IMVU forums into a little RP group, proceeded to roleplay little pieces over MSN until that exploded and then over to AIM. Then life happened and I fell out of roleplay for a while. By the time I swung back into wanting to write again (fueled by my discovery of fanfiction) I didn't know where to go so I googled "where do people write together" and some crunchy old yahoo answers post pointed me to Tumblr. This is all to say that in my writing journey, before I started writing here on Tumblr, I only ever wrote original characters.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ?

Combat scenes. Cool to imagine, cool in media, cool concepts. Writing those fuckers out? Hard pass, I'm absolute garbage.

ɪꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ᴡʀɪᴛɪɴɢ?

Let's be honest, I love me some fluff. I think happier moments are the kind of thing I write the most, and when there can be a deep emotional connection that then allows me to have fun with the not so happier moments. It might be a surprise but I really enjoy grim dark kind of gritty themes too, but I have to be in the right mindset, preferably writing with behind the scenes hollering and still have a theme of hope. If it's a hopeless setting and nothing matters and it's all bad I tend to feel crushed.

ʜᴏᴡ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴꜱ?

They come to me in visions. I think I form headcanons the way most people do, I had a life experience (I DID THIS THING, WOULD MY CHARACTER DO???), witnessed something in media (fast motorbike COOL LADY ON FAST MOTORBIKE maybe could be my cool lady) or there was a headcanon prompt that made me think about something specific.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇ ɪɴ ꜱɪʟᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏʀ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀʏ ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ?

I can only write in silence. If I manage to write with noise, I'm distracted and the product is usually... meh.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴘʟᴀɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇꜱ ᴏʀ ᴡɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇᴍ?

The vast majority are winged, but my best replies tend to be for threads where behind the scenes we have "AND WHAT IF THIS" anywhere up to 10 years into the future already. Even having those "AND WHAT IF THIS" moments it's nice to reach the actual moment in a thread and realise how the characters might react way differently at that point.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴊᴏʏ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ?

Yee. Romance is fun, but I also enjoy 'shipping' in a sense of 'exploring a deep relationship' which can be completely platonic. Found family. Friendships. Mentors.

ᴡʜᴀᴛ'ꜱ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴀʟɪᴀꜱ/ɴᴀᴍᴇ?

Muddy. Real name Kristy, also misheard a lot as Krissie which I surprisingly like better.

ᴀɢᴇ?

Fossilised.

ʙɪʀᴛʜᴅᴀʏ?

May 20 BC.

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ᴄᴏʟᴏʀ(ꜱ)?

This answer always changes. At the moment it's deep greens / turquoise / white.

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜱᴏɴɢ(ꜱ)?

My favourite songs tend to be the ones that can stir emotions at more than a surface level 'oh this sounds nice!' Aerith's theme is an obvious hard hitter and I know that I appreciate a lot of the FFXIV OST for the emotional damage it gifted to me in the past. Then there are artists like Aurora Aksnes and Florence Welch who always captivate me.

ʟᴀꜱᴛ ᴍᴏᴠɪᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜᴇᴅ?

My answer for this and the next question is still the same as the last time fhreugwiq. Damsel on Netflix.

ʟᴀꜱᴛ ꜱʜᴏᴡ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜᴇᴅ?

Last show I watched was when I joined a discord stream to watch through a dear friend's favourite anime with them. I'm horrible and don't know the name. Next show I intend to watch was at the suggestion of a best fren. I have a problem with only rewatching my favourite shows or only watching things people ask me to.

ʟᴀꜱᴛ ꜱᴏɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ʟɪꜱᴛᴇɴᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ?

O' Death (Haunted Version) — Bobby Bass.

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜰᴏᴏᴅ?

Flavour slapping me in my face, please. Begone my childhood of boiled wet vegetables without seasoning. If I have to pick an all time favourite, it's gotta be this chicken tikka masala curry recipe my oldest brother introduced me to, which coincides with the time that I started to realise food didn't have to be boring.

ꜰᴀᴠᴏʀɪᴛᴇ ꜱᴇᴀꜱᴏɴ?

I don't much take notice tbh, I live in North Queensland where there isn't an insane amount of difference between the seasons — Summer real hot, Winter wear your light jumper for a week or two but peel it off by the afternoons. I guess Autumn is my favourite because that's when fresh figs and persimmons are on the supermarket shelves.

ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴀ ᴛᴜᴍʙʟʀ ʙᴇꜱᴛ ꜰʀɪᴇɴᴅ?

Gestures at Skit and Vers like I'm Chris Pratt and they're the raptors. Can bang on about anything with this pair, there are rare moments where I have that "oh, that wasn't very normal of me" thought about something I said but then they return the same energy.

The worst Dark Shadows role playing game I was ever a part of

The year was 2011 or early 2012 and Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows had just been announced, stirring old loves and fandoms in regard to Dark Shadows.

One night I was delighted to discover someone named Nicole had a Dark Shadows themed role playing game on IMVU.   When I entered the setting though it was really weird.   The person’s best friend (who was not a real Dark Shadows fan) had a character who created an Ancient Egyptian themed cult so for some reason there were these small Pyramids (about the size of suburban houses) scattered around Collinsport.

And let me just say this friend was the worst role player I ever encountered.   When first meeting her she insisted that I, the player, not see or hear any game activity that my character was not directly present for.  She had never heard of “Keep secrets from the character, not the player.” And was convinced that if I knew this or that, I’d feed the information to my character.  As I kind of love to play characters that take a long time to figure out what’s going on, that never happens.   Then when the friend did interact with me she played this knock-off Renfield character.  She even quoted the line “On the contrary, they’re actually perfectly nutritious” from the Bram Stoker’s Dracula movie.  She didn’t like it when my character didn’t react the way she wanted and instead contradicted the statement by pointing out that modern roaches and even mosquitos carry various diseases and contaminants unless raised in captivity on insect farms (which are an actual thing). The friend even tried to allow another person to heal my character of scarring against my will.  The character I was playing had a badly scarred hand and her friend tried to auto-hit / heal the scarring (which was a scar from a magical fire, by the way).  And when I OOCly told the other player to please not do that she said “Too late, I’m a level eleven Flesh mage in VtM!”  But this wasn’t VtM.  It was TBL chat room based Dark Shadows RP.

The friend (again, accountable for the random pyramids) didn't want me to play an occultist or alchemist unless I proved I knew about alchemy and occultism (And she was insisting Hermetic (or Kemetic as she called it with her Egyptian obsession as she believed all things arcane started in Egypt) occultism was the only real occultism. I had graduated from Stratford with a diploma in Parapsychology / Astrology. Anyway, this person essentially demanded I write an essay revealing what I know about alchemy and the occult and I had to name five real occultists and alchemists. I humored them and wrote the list and included rock star David Bowie for his dabbling in occultism. She publicly told the GM that I had copied and pasted everything from Wikipedia. I was furious and pointed out that there's no Wikipedia page listing David Bowie as an occultist. So apparently that was the "only part" I didn't copy and paste. Yeah, okay, with a diploma in parapsychology / astrology you really think I'd copy and paste any occult knowledge from Wikipedia? I love babbling about that sort of thing. But this was Nicole’s "Best friend" and I came to realize I couldn't stand the condescending and pretentious person who assumed she was the only one who ever studied the occult.

She even tried to change Nicole’s rules so that no mortal could ever win against a vampire even if the mortal knew all the vampire’s weaknesses.  Thankfully when I pointed that one out Nicole deleted the “rule” that her friend had added, with the feeble excuse that her friend wasn’t familiar with Dark Shadows and didn’t realize Barnabas had repeatedly been captured by or harmed by mortals.  But even without having watched Dark Shadows, I don’t know of any vampire themed role playing game where someone makes it a rule that mortals can never win.  It was sadly the only Dark Shadows RP on IMVU and to this date, probably the most obnoxious one in existence... at least I hope there’s none worse.

As far as I know they may still be on IMVU with their Dark Shadows RP that somehow is mostly about an Egyptian cult in Collinsport by someone ironically unaware of the Leviathan storyline from the TV show matching up to what she was doing with her Egyptian cult.

Glad you asked @mattcorrales-blog

It’s a mobile app and pc Instant Messaging Virtual Universe, hence why it’s truncated to IMVU. Basically it’s an online chat room that uses little virtual spaces and avatars to connect and chat. It’s been around for a long time and has been known for years to be very friendly to adult themes and erotica.

So you make you avatar, and I’d create a room by invite only for tf members to log onto and hang in. Fun way to literally tf yourself into virtualized body, and connect with other tf kinksters. Outside of the insane censorship of Tumblr and the endless array of notifications from Discord.

Idea:

IMVU chat room for TF Community by invite only?

Ellie’s Opinion on Today’s Mystery Packages (Summer Bands) on IMVU

If you have been on the browser version of IMVU today specifically on the classic website you probably ran into all of the marketing regarding their limited time Mystery Room Packages. If you haven’t feel free to check it out because let me tell you one thing IMVU does exceptionally well is market their products for their virtual world platform. You’ll probably see the banner that looks like this;

and switches to this;

When you click this banner it leads you to a page that looks like this;

Enticing isn’t it? well it was to me. I love the Mystery Packages and when I can I buy them often so I can review my experience with them and show you what you could get by participating. Basically its like a gacha (a japanese gumball machine chance item) these are popular in Second Life and the mobile application called Line chat if you’ve ever used it. Everything you get is given by chance. Don’t let the only $15 fool you though your basically paying $1 for each thousand credits which let’s be honest isn’t that bad. But you’re hoping for the mystery of getting a new room you probably wouldn’t expect yourself buying that you can USE. Well my exeperience this time around was both a negative and positive and let me tell you why. When I bought my first bundle I’ll be honest I was a little disappointed. Why? because I ended up with a nursey. Now for someone who participates in family RolePlay on IMVU this is a great thing to obtain. However, if you’re anything like me and you’re just the life of the party and enjoy chatting with others. You don’t really have a need for a room like this. I am still a little salty about it because yes I was disappointed to begin with. And this is where humanity is flawed. You shouldn’t be disappointed in what you recieve but grateful for everything you currently own and the new things you obtain. I was a little upset for a good 10 minutes but as a virtual world interior designer in both IMVU and Second Life I thought about it and I could possibly make the room work for my type of decor style so I can use it in the future. But because of my disappointment I ended up making an impulse buy and buying another Mystery Room for $15 I wanted to see if I would be upset with the options with a second go. I wasn’t disappointed. The way I see things everything happens for a reason even if the reason can’t be explained. The fact you get credits with these packages are helpful because even if the room isn’t something you love you can spend the credits on something you do. You also get to keep each individual piece of furniture that you can use to decorate other rooms you buy if you buy any. There’s always a positive to every negative.

First Mystery Package Revealed:

So this is going to be somewhat of a rant from my disappointment earlier. I didn’t want to change anything I typed before when I was on a roll with my ranting spree because I want to show RAW emotion. The truth of how humanity acts towards certain situations when disappointed or upset. Hopefully if you take away anything from this post it’s that we’re all sensitive to emotions and haunted by our own anger and disappointment in life. When we all should really be grateful for the things we have and the things we obtain no matter what it is. 

Technically I bought two for myself thinking it was just a dud try with my first luck of the draw ending up with a nursery. I mean don’t get me wrong for a family Roleplayer on IMVU that would be perfect. But what am I supposed to do with that? I don’t family RolePlay on IMVU I just could never get into it but am rather active with it in Second Life. Overall, it’s okay but it’s also a boys room... I’d rather it at least be gender neutral for a nursery so if I ever wanted to try my hand at it I could go the boy or girl route. No it’s just for boys. Okay that’s fine but this room will probably get zero use out of it for me. It was actually a bit disappointing for me. I guess the 15,000 credits in a sense make up for it though. But still I’d at least want to be provided a room that I could use at some point during my adventures in this virtual world platform. Sometimes I feel with these mystery packages there should either be a one time retry button for something you could use. Or a way to sell the room for a smaller price even so you can get credits for it to spend on an item or something. It would make sense for those who can’t use what they obtain. Everyone is into something different. I don’t want a kid in a virtual world. 

However, overall the design is nice don’t get me wrong for a boys room it’s definitely cute for what you get. In a way I’m at least happy you get the furniture the living set I could probably use in a different room I have. But things like baby blocks and a crib? It was almost a waste of $15 for me. Oh yes! by the way these mystery packages are a whole $15. For this price it would’ve been more worth while to buy VIP and credits when on sale for $5.50. I guess I’ll figure out something to do with this room but it’s a shame it will just basically sit and collect cobwebs in my inventory. Below are some photo’s of this nursery. Like I said theres nothing wrong with the nursey for what it is it’s gorgeous and adorable. The creator did an amazing job! I’ve nothing against the creator or how the overall look of the room is... but again what am I going to do with it in the way I use the IMVU platform? Wish me luck as an interior designer im going to see what I can do with what I have and see if I can find a use for it down the road. 

Nursery Photos:

Second Mystery Package Revealed:

The second Mstery Package I was a little more excited for. I’ll actually be able to use this at some point. It would make a nice possibly dark themed club for the future and came with a lot of nice furniture that I can use in general whether it be in a club or home aspect. I’m not as salty spending the second $15 that I did. The second try was a lot more exciting for me since I obtained things that I COULD use at some point in one way or another. So it didn’t feel like a waste of money for how I use IMVU. I enjoy partying and entertaining my friends with a nice chat and a few awesome dance moves. I honestly can’t complain too much about my second Mystery room from the package. Best part it’s from a creator I’ve never heard of. I always support creators on IMVU especially the new and upcoming ones. I love the scenery and everything this room has to offer. Other than it looking a little to shiny and latexy it’s something I enjoy. Below are some photos of the club. I’m quite happy with this room. The room is called the PVC Black Hearts Club if you want to find it. 

Conclusion:

Overall, though I was disappointed with the first room. The second Mystery Package I bought was anything but. There are certain rooms for different people and though I didn’t know what to do with the nursery I’ll find some way to use it I’m sure. The second room the PVC Black Hearts Club is filled with so many things that are interactive and there’s so much to it. Between the furniture and the atmosphere it’s something I enjoy. Just know that sometimes you’re going to obtain things in Mystery Packages you don’t like and that’s why IMVU does it. Because they know if what you get first isn’t something you like or can use the curiosity consumes you and you end up impulse buying another. Sometimes that’s a good thing because you could be like me and end up with something you like and can use for your second. It all has to do with the luck of the draw. I hope this was somewhat interesting to read.

New & Improved Old Create-A-Sim Background Reuploads!

By popular demand, here are some of my old create a sim backgrounds reuploaded, new and improved. I improved the quality of the IMVU ones, and changed the original recolored textures/messed with the mesh of the brujah ts3 to ts4 3d cas room recolors. As much as I love that conversion by brujah, I’m not a fan of the shaders used on the mesh. It washes out the true brightness and color of the textures I use, so I decided to change the shader from phong to fullbright, making these new and improved versions of my old recolors much more bright and vibrant (and so that they look exactly how they look in sims 4 studio color wise). For the vintage marble one (the one with the Marilyn picture and marble walls) I removed the plant from the mesh, because it didn't look right for that particular recolor theme to me. Hope this isn't a problem!

To get the best experience out of these create a sim backgrounds (and any for that matter), please follow this AMAZING and quick blurry texture fix guide by littledica: https://www.patreon.com/posts/blurry-textures-47015425

This will make the textures of these backgrounds much much clearer. Even though these are create a sim backgrounds, the meshes are world objects, and an update not too long ago made world object textures go from 2048 to 1024 by default. PLEASEEE apply this fix so you can use these, or any custom create a sim backgrounds to their fullest potential. You'll have to redo the fix after every sims 4 update, but trust me, it's worth it. Plus, it doesn't take that long to do at all.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU TAKE OUT ANY OTHER CREATE A SIM BACKGROUND REPLACEMENT IN YOUR MODS FOLDER BEFORE PUTTING ANY OF THESE IN. ONLY USE ONE.

Also, my apologies for the meh sims 4 studio previews. The backgrounds look better in game.

Anyways, enjoy! I plan to make more recolors for the ts3 to ts4 cas background, considering I have a folder full of unused textures for it that I made in photoshop.

All credits for the IMVU backgrounds go to the original imvu room creators, and all credits for the 3D sims 3 to sims 4 cas background mesh go to brujah. You can find the original mesh here (scroll down!) - https://sims4studio.com/thread/2263/brujahs-studio

Heyy cuties! I see these cute post alll the time and I wanted to be on my "Real advice girl sh!t" too.

Recently I've been on a journey to find myself and be my best self. I know things like this can be totally lame sometimes.. Especially when you're in it alone but fear not cuties! It's so many people out there feelin' just like you (and me) so let's get this post poppin' babes!

1. Like the great saint Kashdoll once said "He For Everybody!" and that goes for growth too.

* Think about the company you keep!

If people you hang around are constantly causing problems and cause more harm than good... "baby girl you to drop themmm!"

*Reconsider your actions!

Think about how you treat yourself and others you care about. Is this really the you, you want to be?

*Change your surroundings and maybe even your style.

Oh I think I like that so let's speak on it!

2. Find your PERSONAL style!

*Look around at new places to shop or ways to be more creative with what you have. If your closet feels like it needs a re-up like Nicki Minaj's second studio album MAKE IT HAPPEN! If your low on funds I got you.

~Try selling old clothes on Depop.

~Flip your clothes into something new!

~Thrift and second hand shop or look for sales and coupon codes.

~learn to sew or crochet! (making your own designs can be fun and exciting for unique pieces in your wardrobe)

* Find some inspiration! Fashion is seriously ALL around you! Anything can spark a fresh new idea and don't be afraid to think outside the box. If you're scared to try something out give it a chance you never know how you may like it.

~Download pinterest or Tiktok!

I personal find these apps to be extremely helpful when finding inspiration for new looks I want to try. There's so much information just waiting to be found and you should totally check it out.

~Experiment!

Put on that lab coat babes because it's about to get crazy! Look at the clothes you have and think of new combos! Mix up patterns, try layering, and def get into to it with accessories.

~Try Everskies!

Oh yes! If you've been around the virtual doll worlds (stardoll, mattel dress up games on your elementary school's computer, Imvu and even doll divine) this is right up your alley! Everskies is perfect for making new looks. And it's a great way to showcase your ideas and even make new friends.

~Tumblr!

Yes miss mamas I know you're already here and that's how you're reading this. Pay attention gworl! Tumblr is full of hidden gems and lot's of things you haven't discovered yet. After tumblr's little clean up things seemed lost but I like to believe its getting back on track. There's lots of places to discover and find new fashion and even subcultures. Don't let yourself be stuck in a box check out new places and new tags!

3. Next caller! Next Caller! Let's talk about your room!!!

*DECORATE!!!! I cannot be anymore clear in that. If you have a space to decorate do it! Here's my top tips for you best room!

~Look at your space and brainstorm!

Take note of the size of your room and even look at the furniture you have in it. If you have a small room try to place your furniture to have a more spacious look or even downsize your bed if you can.

If you lack closet space try looking for clothing and shoe racks. Think of better ways to store things and try not to keep (bad) clutter or boxes.

~Choose a theme.

No, you do not have to have a strict cookie-cutter bedroom you saw in a generic lifestyle post. Think of things you like and see if there's something like that you can use in your room.

♡category breakdown♡

If you love plushies or stuffed animals totally get some for your room they make any space adorable.

Try out posters or even make a photo wall. Print out some images or go get images printed that you like. (freeprints is a great app to get your pictures for your wall and yes it is actually free your first purchase)

~Get some decor!

Decor is very important and easy to find you can put absolutely anything in your room. (Something that brings back cool memories, something you splurged on because it looks cool, something gifted to you, just anything that makes you room your happy place)

~Make the most of it!

At the end of the day with the way the world is now your room is where you spend most of your time. So why not make it your palace. Make it a safe, clean, healthy and positive space. Take a day out of your week to deep clean and keep it fresh. If the week got totally hectic and a mess and your room got the worst of it. Take the time to get it back on track!

4. Be unapologetically you! (and love yourself)

*In the name of our Icy big sister, muva, cousin, homegirl or All together queen Diamonté Quiava Valentin Harper (miss Saweetie) ! You betta tap in! I KNOW DAS RIGHT!

~Don't be afraid to live your truth and speak your mind.

Be a boss! There's is nothing wrong with being madly in love with yourself. Whoever you are, where ever you started and came from, no matter what color, size or age! Always know you are that BITCH!

If anyone ever tries to tell you otherwise don't take it to heart and don't let it get to you. I know that's easier said than done but don't ever give someone that much power over you.

~Self care!

Cleanse your skin daily and try to have an easy reliable skincare routine.

Do your hair and paint your nails.

Pick out some cute pjs. If you are lounging around the house often try to buy some cute lounge sets. and get ready even if you are just lounging.

Journal! Sometimes we just need to get things off our chest and feel we can't tell anyone. Journaling is a great way to let it out. If you feel a actually book journal isn't private enough download google docs and drive. It's safely on your phone and it has a great passcode system.

Fuel your body! Eat and drink good things. Mental health can actually have a lot to do with you diet. You can feel a lot more tired and drained if your aren't getting what you need. Cooking and trying new recipes can be fun and exciting!

Work out! Working out has been given a bad name due to body shamers but it's actually got more benefits than weight management. It can help you feel happier, more energized, and even make your body more firm. It can be a really great experience if you find fun new ways to exercise. You can try so many routines like dancing (twerk it out), martial arts, skating, bike riding, walking to explore, yoga, and so much more.

5. Hair and Makeup!

~Try out new hair colors and styles!

Wigs are your friend! It's a great way to switch it up and protect your natural hair. You can also test out new looks without the commitment.

there's lots of ways to style wigs but if wigs aren't you thing... Try color clip ins! tracks can be found in the beauty supply for very low prices in tons of colors and they are able to take heat. you can also find clips to sew on. If you go this route you can have so many color combos and go all out and its much more versatile.

Try hair accessories! There's so many things you can use to spice up you hair. there's clips, scrunchies, hair jewels, pom pom hair ties, and anything you can think of!

Remember there's way more to hair than middle part 30 inches (no shade)

~ makeup! We all remember sunset eye shadow and concealer brows (again no shade) but make up is also whatever you make it. There is no right and wrong way to do it at the end of the day.

Try new lash colors and even new brow colors. Get creative! try new looks you've seen or maybe even come up with your own.

See what looks good on your face and what you like and ALWAYS take some pics and go all out!

Okay dolls I hope that was a good read for you all and it helped! Feel free to reblog and share! If you tried any of these let me know! Lots of love forever and always.

[traumatizeddfox]

Hey fox. I was wondering about something. I wanna preface this by saying I don’t wanna know if this is or isn’t abuse by the other people. I wanna know if my behavior is indicative of past trauma.

So you know like IMVU and SecondLife? Those MMO 3D chat rooms? I used to play those when I was like 14. Excessively. And I would say I was 18 so the adults would want to talk to me. And we got along really well, they never once questioned my age or maturity.

But I would spend like most of my time looking for dating and sex themed rooms and even torture rooms.

And at least twice I remember having graphic and descriptive sexual role play with what I do believe were actual adults. In one I played dominant and the other submissive. And these people praised my knowledge and skill at role play quite a bit. So much it surprised me because I was nervous I was gonna screw up.

I have no idea where this knowledge of sex came from at that age, especially kink role play, because wasn’t exposed to that stuff until that game. Could the weird skill be related to my csa? Like I don’t remember being assaulted but almost like muscle memory I remember how to act in that situation to appease the other person?

in my opinion i think it can be caused from csa. it’s very normal for children to remember this especially ur brain will have the muscle memory but not the actual memory

Story Time

So when I was younger there was this website called Whirled, I doubt many of you know of it. I loved it, I made a lot of friends on there and felt like I could really express myself. It was a lot like IMVU, had avatars and a ton of stuff like that you had rooms you could make, groups, and the like. The creators on there were phenomenal, they made tons of things flash games like Corpse Craft (which I miss dearly) avatars with custom animations, pets with commands, and furniture for your rooms, they also made the themes for the rooms (which can change the dimensions of the rooms), and it was full of roleplayers, most of which were child friendly. The one problem was the people who owned it, Three Rings. They created Spiral Knights, the only product of their’s still on the market. They made a really fun Doctor Who multiplayer game which was discontinued nearly 2 years after it coming out, but we aren’t talking about that. Whirled came out in 2007 and was in beta through its whole life, bit into its life it switched from three rings servers to sega which took a few weeks, everyone thought it was over, on its “final” hours people threw house parties, it was like having a ball before a soldier’s deployment, but it came back. though this time it had no admins on ever, all the protections from porn were fucking gone, it felt like a husk of its former self, it just wasn’t the same, I still kept going though, watched as the userbase of a million or so to just a few hundred, it was like watching a loved one slowly die, and then it happened, they finally pulled the plug. But the funny thing is we all just sorta, moved on. Then, out of the blue, a whole new version came out whirled.club is its name. The whole reason for this long tangent of a post is to say, nothing lasts forever, I’ve been on websites with staff that don’t do anything, I’ve seen huge shockers of announcements like this, just don’t lose hope because they say they’re going to wipe out half the population of their website. And hey, maybe if we end up needing to abandon ship, hope is always there, maybe the lost flock will find a new home, you never know

[dumpsterthot]

So I booted up IMVU last night; first time in over a year and of course I have no chill:

And he has slappin’ motion. 

I hate how pretty everything on IMVU looks but I still went into school theme rooms and people lost their shit. xD

Happy 2022!

I hosted a New Year’s Eve party at my new club that my hubby (Elijah Carter) surprised me with as a New Years gift, VIP Ultra Lounge. Located in downtown Atlanta, with breath taking views views of the city below!

My Guest List was small being as I only have a hand full of people I consider to be a friend, I did extend my invitation to the public. I hosted a New Years’s Eve Photo Room, prior to the start of the event. The theme I choose was “New Years Eve Masquerade”. The colors where Black, Silver, and Gold. There was complimentary h’ordures and drinks galore! The campaign Fountain was my personal favorite!

Some of the hotest upcoming IMVU Celebs where in attendance, @nishavu2, @maddie_boss_vu just to name a few. Huge thanks you to everyone whom came out to support. I very much appreciate each and everyone of you all coming through!

[ GET TO KNOW YOUR WRITING PARTNER! ]

Knowing your writing partners can potentially make writing together a lot easier. Repost, don’t reblog.

NAME: Muddy.

PRONOUNS: She/her.

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: Do not perceive me. In all seriousness though, I am terrible with ongoing conversation unless I am in a group chat setting like Discord with a handful of others typing. Small RP hubs where it’s OOC chat and spitballing ideas, chilling, talking about life stuff, hobbies, desires for writing etc. otherwise I’m a fucking gremlin and ANYONE WHO HAS TRIED TO TALK TO ME knows I disappear into my hovel. I’m not good at one-on-one chat that’s purely character or plot-based.

NAME OF MUSE(S): Aerith Gainsborough (here), Genesis Rhapsodos (@firxga), Ariadne Nihilis OC (@rebelichor), Jason Kolchek / Miller Park OC / Millie Park OC (@returnedtoashes).

EXPERIENCE/HOW LONG: I have been on Tumblr roleplaying since 2015, however my roleplaying journey began when I was 14 years old (teen chat rooms ((A/S/L anyone)) -> IMVU forums -> MSN messenger -> AIM -> Skype -> Tumblr -> Line -> Discord -> back to Tumblr). Before all of this little-Muddy was playing tabletop games and acting out stories.

BEST EXPERIENCE: I found my best friend through Tumblr roleplay. Skit and I never would have met if not for a chance recommendation from a mutual. This was when I didn’t know how the website worked, wasn’t tagging, was on a default theme, used awful big images and was hitting a lot of walls because there isn’t a how-to guide to get into the Tumblr bubble. Skit took me in at my worst (how was I not an embarrassment to type with my god) and deserves the very best for helping me in so many ways.

RP PET PEEVES: Let me preface this with I know everyone has limited spoons, and this has nothing to do with slowness or needing to ease thread load, this is directly related to interest not being communicated. Going hard on my OC’s with liking starters or grabbing opportunities from mutuals in general and getting dropped after 1 reply or no returned interest is more disheartening than a peeve, however it’s worth noting because once that happens I’m more likely to back off with any of my canon characters. Perhaps that is a little petty but I much prefer to be told ‘actually, I don’t think our characters will fit’ outright than having to smack into a wall several times to get the message, whereas my canons can walk in 5 months late with starbucks and a flimsy excuse but be fine. TL;DR: if my OC is on struggle street with a blog, but my canon character is cruising, of course I notice.

MUSE PREFERENCES FOR ANGST / FLUFF / SMUT: ‘All’ for most of my muses. Ariadne is more adventure, horror or occult themed.

PLOTS OR MEMES: Plots. Having a vague idea and running with it, throwing bumps in the road or outright breaking the road.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: Nice middle ground. I think 4 paragraphs is a happy spot for me, 2 I feel like I’m not contributing enough and once I’m leaning more into 8 paragraphs I lose motivation and spoons quickly because writing actually takes a lot of focus for me.

BEST TIME TO WRITE: When it is completely quiet. I cannot write or even brainstorm when there is background noise. That tends to fall into night time, but then I also battle with feeling sleepy and not having the energy to.

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE: I wish I were so sassy. No, I think I have a dumb sense of humour and am way too gamer-nerd and relaxed to really relate to any of my characters like that.

Junk’s Bunnies by Junkyardgod

1 word... disappointing. 

Room Type: Escort and strip

Rating: 1/5.

Review

I was welcomed very warmly by majority of the staff. Room is Pay to Stay which the room card did not clarify. When you think of a pay to stay room you think the best of the best. Their card even says best strippers on IMVU, i beg to differ.

Once I selected my girl of choice, she didn't know where to preform lap dances, another girl had to show her. She then crashed. which is fine- it happens. I couldn't gift her because her setting were selected to ‘friends only’ messaging. Once the dance got underway her RP is awful. Some of the worst I seen in years and her her avatar was very out of date.

The room was large. Typical colours of black and red. Egotistical pictures of the owner everywhere.

This club/room needs an upgrade for sure. Upgrading staff, outfits and theme.

[thenightling]

Yes, kids, vampires exist in Marvel comics...

This is a story about the rudeness of a pretentious online role player.  Read on if you dare. 

Okay, this happened to some friends and I back when the first Avengers movie came out so this story is a little on the stale side now but I’ll share it anyway. 

We were doing a Marvel themed RP (roleplay) on IMVU.  We even had a 3D chat room set up to look like The Avengers Tower.   

One friend played Tony Stark, another was Captain America, another was Bucky, Cap’s player was also Hawkeye, and Bucky’s player was also Black Widow.  They also played Coulson and Thor, and thanks to Multiverse shenanigans there were two Loki(s) running around.  

Many of us were long time fans of the comics.  And I happen to love the supernatural side of Marvel, the part untouched by the current MCU- mostly Marvel’s horror comics like Tomb of Dracula, Werewolf by Night, Legion of monsters, Morbius: The Living Vampire, Monsters of Frankenstein, ect...  

So I was playing Morbius: The living vampire on the IMVU account of MichaelMorbius (a different player has the account that just says Morbius).  Morbius is a scientist who accidentally turned himself into a vampire but with none of the traditional weaknesses.

(IMVU avatar of Morbius above.)

Another friend was playing Marvel’s Dracula, and I also had Adam (the Frankenstein Monster.)  We even had someone playing Jack Russell (Horrible name, I know) AKA Werewolf by Night.

Someone with an account dedicated to “Steeb” (Steve and Bucky shipping) came into the room one night and asked us what was going on.   We told her the plot summary and she abruptly left.  We just figured she had a bad connection and must have crashed.  Most people play on IMVU chat rooms over PC but some people still attempt to use the very shoddy mobile version.  

The next night it happened again.  The night after that it happened again. And again.  And again.  This happened four or five times. Finally on the fifth or so night she came into the role play room.

First, let me tell you about her avatar.  Her avatar was an overly tall, overly skinny version of Steve Rogers.  I mean, Twig-like skinny and feminine.   The avatar looked more like Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) dressed as Steve.  The avatar even wore heavy makeup.  Later I was to find out this player also made a pregnant Tony Stark avatar.   But we didn’t mind these sort of things. We were pretty laid back for the most part and have no qualms with shippers.

 I was, however, slightly annoyed by the stereotyping in her avatar.   That she seemed to think that a version of Steve attracted to Bucky suddenly had to be more feminine, wear makeup, and be “twink”-like instead of just letting him be himself but attracted to Bucky.   It’s an old stereotype that a gay couple needs a traditionally masculine and an overtly feminine by default.  (”Which one of you is the girl?”)     

Now, on this fifth night instead of asking us what was going on in the game she instead asked “Are you guys done with that vampire crap that doesn’t belong in Marvel?!”

Vampire Crap that... doesn’t belong in Marvel...

(Imagine from Marvel’s War of the Vampires 2019 event...)

(Imagine from the 1990s Spider-man Vampire Wars line of action figures...  Which included Blade, vampire-Spider-man, Morbius: The Living Vampire, and Morbius in Man-Bat form.)

The question took us by surprise since we were comic fans and most fans of the comics know vampires exist in Marvel.  That and the question was very rude and that whole time I had felt sorry for her, thinking she had a bad connection.  No, the truth was she had deliberately been leaving every time we brought up something in the game that she thought “doesn’t belong” in Marvel.   (Which ironically included the antagonist of the most recent Avengers comics... Count Dracula, himself.) 

I understand being new to Marvel comics and or only knowing the MCU (the current Marvel Cinematic Universe) but this was just rude.  Ironically at the time Morbius: The Living vampire had a new comic book series.  Dracula was appearing fairly regularly on the animated series Avengers: Assemble, and Jubilee (of X-Men) had been turned into a vampire in the comics (She gets better).

Not to mention Dracula, Werewolf by Night, Morbius:  The Living Vampire, Blade, and Frankenstein’s Monster were playable characters in Marvel’s Superhero Squad Online, Morbius and Blade were playable characters in Avengers: Alliance (Facebook game), Blade was a playable character in Marvel Heroes online, and Dracula is a locked box character in Avengers Academy mobile app game.   

We corrected this Steeb player that vampires do exist in Marvel and that Blade IS a Marvel character and she got defensive and accused us of “Leaping down her throat for not knowing the comics.”  Leaping down -her- throat?!   This supposedly adult woman was leaving the room abruptly every time she saw the mention of Dracula or vampires and then tried to tell us not to have the character in the game because “it didn’t belong in Marvel.”

  I was just baffled by the audacity and irony.  Someone who played Steve Rogers, not just as bisexual or gay but as a stereotype effeminate gay man, and who (as I would later learn) clearly either played or played with a “Pregnant Tony Stark” was rude about the idea of vampires... In Marvel...

AP Mystery Room Package ~ Pina Colada

IMVU has brought to us another Mystery Package called Pina Colada. However, this is for AP members only. If your avatar is not AP, then you are unable to take part in this Mystery Room Package. As a lot of you have seen, the last Mystery Room Package was a little disappointing for me, the first one I bought. So, I ended up buying more than one. This time around, I was not disappointed and only had to get one. Very similar to the advertising of the other Mystery Room Package earlier this month you’ll find banners that look like this;

and this;

If you would like to read my first Mystery Room Package Post please click the link below to teleport to it. 

Mystery Room Package

Costs $15, and you receive a mystery room and 15,000 credits in virtual currency to use in world. I always like these deals because, in the end, you are only paying $1 USD per credit you obtain plus a bonus of a room. I think these are great if you do not mind having a preference and getting a themed room and a bunch of furniture if you are an interior designer such as myself. The marketing of the room wasn't marketed as long or as strong as the first Mystery Room Package. Honestly, I feel like it has something to do with the package being AP related, and IMVU's main consumer base is teens to late '20s. Instead, after the ads only being around for about an hour until disappearing, they started a sale on upgrades and credits. It took me forever to find this room package again to buy it because the advertising just disappeared. There are a specific number of these packages that can be given out when I bought mine there were 814 left. Below is a link so you can participate in this AP Mystery Package if you wish too.

Pina Colada Mystery Room Package Teleport

This time around the room I obtained is called AP Cavern of Passion created by 1DLovin. Here is my review of this mystery room. Ahead of time, Mystery Room Packages are randomly picked rooms that are made by users for users. These rooms are made specifically for these packages, and they get creators to contribute to the making of rooms for the bundles during certain times of the year. As we have seen, this is the second Mystery Room Package for June. Right off the bat of entering this room, it is a very fantasy and mystical feeling. You are in a cavern surrounded by jewels and a ray of sunlight coming in shining on a small cabin on an island in the water. There is a ship on the other side of the environment that adds to the mystery of what this room has to offer.

When rooms are AP, this typically means that there are either sexual poses, furniture, or photos in the scene. On the ship, there are two animated poses, and the rest are places to stand on the ship. As beautiful of touch as the vessel was, I feel like there were a lot of potentials that were lost. They could have made it more realistic and added a bedroom/captain's quarters to interact with, seeing as this room is considered AP. But instead, we got steering the ship animation with the wheel and animation in turning the direction of the ship. A ship that does not move, but nonetheless, the animations are there if you want to use this room in a role-playing scenario. Fantasy pirates?

Taking ourselves away from the ship for a moment, there is a little cuddle raft in the water that turns side to side. There are a few cuddling/cuddle poses (two to be exact but better than none). Along with that, there are some sitting poses which one is shown as an example. One of my favorite parts of this cavern is the gazebo. It is a beautiful conversation starter, and I've already used the room with three friends so far. I have gotten so many compliments on it, which I was not expecting. The poses are limited and mainly sitting, and there is nothing quite AP about it. But the environment sparks creativity, which is helping me write so no complaints there. If you're looking for somewhere to swim and spend your time in the Summer months, then you will love that this cavern has a lot of swimming areas in the water. This was unexpected, but a nice touch.

While we are on the topic of water, let's discuss the grotto with one cuddle/kissing pose and many standing and seated poses. As beautiful as this grotto is, I am disappointed again that there was so much potential for it. Yet, it lacks in animations and poses. That is okay, though if you are like me and have a ton of extra AP and standard poses, you can spice up these areas that seem to be lacking. The grotto itself is delightful to the eye, and I do enjoy it more than I thought I would. The placement of everything in the room was very thought out.

This cavern is not as AP as it seems for an AP Mystery Room Package. Still, for a room in general, it is incredibly versatile and pleasant. I can see myself doing a lot with this specific room. I think what makes this more AP is the fact that the boating dock can be found past the cabin with no cuddle poses and two seating places with a fireplace. Has drinking pose where the avatar drinks an alcoholic beverage and then lays down in a cuddle state. I love it, but if this is the only thing making it AP, why not just make the Mystery Package for everyone? Oh well.

All in all, the room I obtained from this package is impressive. Its far from being AP themed, but there is so much potential. It leaves a lot of room for the imagination, and the possibilities are endless. This gives me so many ideas to decorate and make the cavern the way I want with my extra pose and animation sets, furniture for the cabin, etc. With a little tender love and care, this could be the perfect AP cavern. As an entire room, the atmosphere is fantastic and fits my style. I am not disappointed in the overall aspect of this room. I try to take part in as much of these as possible so you know if you’re getting the best “bang for your buck.”
