#Maria Monty

[yandereplumsim]

My Favourite trio of NPCs from The Sims 3. Maria Monty, Chiara Goth and Giulia Capp, all from the beautiful Monte Vista recreated for The Sims 4.

Been meaning to make them for the Sims 2 for a while, but somehow i never do. Anyways, they're not *perfect* recreations, mostly because i tried to make them look a bit like their "hypothetical" Sims 2 families.

Maria is Patrizio's younger sister who has been disowned by her parents; A terrible affair, something about putting Pineapple on the Pizza. Now she's trying to get back on her family's good graces by Delivering Pizza without Pineapple.

Chiara is one of the many Goths spread around the world, her wish to learn more about the mysterious sailor who seduced her great-grandmother many years ago is what has lead her to her current career.

Giulia is Contessa's youngest sister who was travelling with their father Octavius when he was killed at a Monte Vista Beach by a lighting. Shocked by this, she has decided to leave the family behind and take her life on her own hands.

Sims 4 doesn't allow me (?) to write little bios, so here you have them with my own head canons. If interested, you can download them on my gallery.

Will likely make them for the Sims 2 soon.

on one hand i dislike the change to maria’s backstory in sonic 3 that she isn’t chronically ill— because lord knows how rarely we get actually good character rep as it is, and retconning the fact that she’s disabled at all just kinda irks me. on the other, i actually really like the change to have her cause of death be an explosion rather than a gunshot, because of the way it was handled. someone steps in to get another dude not to shoot at them, specifically saying “what are you doing, those are children.” children plural!! he’s talking about shadow too, and the way they used that to make it explicitly clear that they were both just kids broke my heart and stomped on it in the span of five seconds. because exactly one other person seems to actually see shadow as the child he is rather than an experiment or a monster, and he’s complicit in the accident that got his sister killed.

I'm of the understanding Carrion is essentially a dragon plushie of a person. How do the Premonition blorbos react to his dragon hugs?

I may require a visual aid to understand

*cracks knuckles* WELL-

Let me first give a bit of context by clarifying that there's actually two separate versions of Carrion: the FFXIV "original" version and the Premonitions of a Faraway Life version (an AU, basically). There's a bit of overlap, naturally, but the biggest distinction is that I try to keep FFXIV!Carrion as lore-compliant as possible, while PoFL!Carrion is more sea-monster flavored in concept and has a way bigger personality.

Since you mentioned "the Premonitions blorbos", I'm gonna assume you meant the latter, in which case that's probably one of the most spot-on descriptions of this cretin you could've come up with XD

For most of his early sentience, Carrion was completely blind, which meant he developed an over-reliance on physical touch and hearing. Though the blindness gradually dissipated during his evolution(s), he's still incredibly clingy and doesn't like being left alone for extended periods.

He's also just an incredibly enthusiastic person in general; if he thinks highly of you, there will be zero room for doubt. Or your lungs, for that matter - it's difficult to properly brace against suddenly being wrapped into the world's happiest death grip.

Mortem, his master and vampiric sire, doesn't mind these sudden "attacks", despite having not fully adjusted to being handled so affectionately. He bears these trials patiently, though.

On the other hand, Brody is horribly distrustful of her "big brother" and has implanted multiple bite marks on his forearms from being hoisted into the air unexpectedly.

Everyone else on the island is primarily coworkers and friends, so while he does his fair share of hair-tousling and elbow-nudging with whoever he gets along with, he won't typically go all out if he doesn't know someone very well.

Plus, with Mortem being the only one in the current roster taller than him, it'd probably come off more as intimidating than friendly, yanno?

Thank you for the ask! I'm still trying to nail down his design completely, so have some bonus sketches of him just being his freakish little self (affectionate):

Philippe de Champagne, Cardinal Richelieu in 3 positions, c1642 National Gallery London.

Ah, Richelieu. The man, the myth, the cartoon villian, the punchline, the legend.

He’s the bad guy from the three musketeers, the founder of the modern state system, the man who made France great, the man who humiliated and double crossed George, according to gossip Anne of Austria’s failed beau, and the man who told you not to stand in the pouring rain.

Mrs. Norris talking up Rushworth to anyone who will listen:

Edmund:

He was a heavy young man, with not more than common sense; but as there was nothing disagreeable in his figure or address, the young lady was well pleased with her conquest... Edmund was the only one of the family who could see a fault in the business; but no representation of his aunt’s could induce him to find Mr. Rushworth a desirable companion.
