STRUCK BY LOVE LEGACY CHALLENGE - GENERATION 1: Age Gap

You got lucky; your accidental pregnancy turned into true love! …Until you catch your spouse cheating nearing your 20th anniversary. Unsure what to do, you take your children and move into the only apartment you can afford, determined to finish the book you've been trying to write for three years. You vow to never fall in love again… That is until your next-door neighbour (who is much younger than you) sweeps you off your feet.

Meet Shannon Lovett (she/her), founder of the Stuck by Love Legacy Challenge by @fruitysimsy and @hellohopesims.

Her traits are Gloomy, Bookworm and Loyal. She has the Bestselling Author aspiration, which also gives her the Muser trait. Her main colours are Brown and Red and she will be entering the Writer career.

instead of carrying on with my current legacies, i just start new ones xD. i'm really excited to start this legacy as it's based on romance tropes in books, and i'm an avid reader. it probably won't be posted for a little while as there's some setup i want to do. i also want to try a different way of posting with this legacy; not sure if i want to do big, long posts with a bunch of screenies and storytelling or short, minimal posts with next to no writing just yet.

also i'm in love with shannon, she's literally so cute qwq.

CHRIS COLFER'S BIRTHDAY VIDEO 2023!

Hi! With great joy I'm ready to launch, hopefully with your help and participation, Chris Colfer's 2023 birthday video, "From then to now"

I've started thinking about all the years we've been knowing Chris and following his amazing career, his projects and achievements. Related to this, I focused on the fact that since last year we've been celebrating the anniversaries of his book's publications and on how proud he is of being an author... and that's when the inspiration for the video came! We will be going down the memory lane, thinking back to when we first knew him, up until now!

Here are the instructions to participate in this year's project, if you're doing the video you can send just one, if you take pics you'll have to send two, one for each part!

I want you to share:

➡️ the first memory you have of Chris, how you got to know him, the first moment you thought how amazing he is

➡️AND then your favorite quote from his books! Plus wish him a Happy Birthday!

You can either:

-🎥 record a video of yourself telling about the first memory you have of him + then reading or telling your fave quote from his books+ WISH HIM HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Video lenght: max 20 seconds + the quote (make it possibly no more than 30 seconds in total)

OR

-📸 send two pics: one pic of the cardboard where you wrote down the memory (with yourself in the pic if you want). The second pic of the cardboard where you wrote down the quote (you can be in the pic if you want) +INCLUDE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISH!Pic: max 3 lines sentence about the memory+ the quote + Happy Birthday

->the video can be of yourself talking and not appearing if you're camera shy, or you can film a video showing just the cardboards

->the pic can be of yourself with the writing, or just the writing

->include the book where the quote comes from in the pic/vid!

TIPS! Write in BIG letters, take the pic/video in good lighting!

Send everything to: mylifeisathread@gmail.com and add your NAME and COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

⚠️Deadline is May 22nd!!!⚠️

I will post a youtube link of the video on Twitter on May 26th -the day before his bday! I would really appreciate if you could spread the word, share, repost! He loved watching the videos these past years and I'd love to involve more and more people! Thank you!

Transcript :3

Lilly: “This feels… really nice.”

Dante: “Yeah? I was starting to think you might not say yes.”

Lilly: “It’s not that I didn’t want to. It’s just…” (pauses) “I’ve got a lot of… stuff.”

Dante: (teasing) “Stuff? Is that what we’re calling it?”

Lilly: “You know what I mean, Dante. I’m older than you. I have two kids. I’ve been through... things. It’s a lot to bring into someone else’s life.”

Dante: “You mean a lot to bring into my life.”

Dante: “Lilly, you’re not ‘stuff.’ You’re amazing. Your kids are amazing. It’s not baggage—it’s just part of who you are. And I really, really like who you are.”

Lilly: “I’m just scared, Dante. I don’t want you to wake up one day and realize you’re too young for this… for me.”

Dante: “I know what I want, Lilly. I don’t care about the age, or the past, or any of it. I care about you.”

Dante: “You’ve been through a lot. I get that. But maybe it’s okay to let someone else carry some of that weight with you.”

Lilly: “You make it sound so simple.”

Dante: “Maybe it doesn’t have to be complicated.”

Grateful to Serve

This year’s Society of Biblical Literature meeting was special for me as I completed my second (and final) three-year term as a member of Council. The last six years have been eventful, to say the least. In that time there have been debates (and complaints) about having to print our own name tags, location of meetings, ending regional meetings, the impact of COVID, the reponse(s) to the October…

Before I die, I truly would love to go visit this tomb in France. I’ve never wanted to visit any tomb before ever in my life.
