Below the cut is a long-drawn-out rant. I debated long and hard about doing this but Iām tired of keeping bottled up. So, Iām about to get messy as fuck and put all my business out there. Frankly at this point, I donāt even care. I tried to let it slide because I donāt like drama unless itās in a sims story. However, at this point I have nothing to lose since apparently the people I once called friends stopped fucking with me anyway.Ā
I donāt know whatās being said in the private chats and DMās, but I notice some interesting behavior ever since @shanisims posted her āgoodbye postā. I donāt normally do callout post or bring personal drama out into the open, but my intuition tells me some shit is being said about me that aināt true. Shanisims befriended me and we began chatting in the DMās, then on Discord. We shared story stuff, personal stuff, then we started collaborating together. We swapped sims. I did some builds for her, and we collaborated on each otherās stories. She engaged in my content and vice versa. Then one day she just stopped. Once I noticed I stopped engaging too. Then next thing I knew... I was blocked on all platforms. I have another blog I use for shitposting that I follow my favs from. I really enjoyed her story, so I quietly continued to read it from there. At some point she alludes to a ābeefā when she brings my OCās persona into her story. She mentions that Bishop looks different because of āreasonsā. Then she does it again later on in the story when Bishop is featured. My question was why allude to anything? No one was asking unless you want them to ask. šš¤Ø It was passive aggressive, calculated and cunning. Mind you whatever offense that allegedly took place happened over a year ago.Ā So, I decided to ask her what her problem was. I sent her message from that account, and I said it was me. I didnāt pretend to be anonymous. I wanted to know what her beef was with me and if she has such an issue with me that she had to block me why continue to use my sims, my builds and my characterās persona? I told her I felt used. She goes out of her way to be extremely friendly and overly helpful online then for whatever reason she just turns on you.Ā In the past Iāve been told by her and a few others that I am not afraid of confrontation, and that I can come off very blunt and direct. Iām 49 years old I donāt have time for games, and I try very hard to make sure Iām understood online. However, I do think, re-read, and re-write my words many times before I hit send so that they arenāt misinterpreted online since my tone canāt be heard.Ā All I know is not too long after her goodbye post went up, mutuals I have had online friendships and history with stopped engaging with my post. Some even unfollowed me. I donāt know what sheās telling these people. When I confronted her, she never responded. Instead, she played victim and did a goodbye post. You wouldāve thought I bullied her, pulled up to her house and was outside ready to fight or something. Iām also calling out some of my so called āmutualsā cough cough @storiesbyjes2g and @ladybugsimblrāĀ because in the year 2023 where online friendships are no longer considered a foreign concept, people like yāall will happily discard them instead of doing the hard work of confronting, communicating, accountability, honesty and resolving. Instead, you hid behind platitudes like āprotecting my peaceā or pretend to be cool just to go radio silent afterwards.Ā But Iām just some random lady on the internet so, who gives a fuck right? This goes for anyone else that may have passed judgement on me regarding Shani without knowing all the facts. I still donāt even know what happened! Take away from this what you will but I wanted to put it out there because Iām hurt and felt like being a petty bitch. Now here is real drama you can āprotect your peaceā from.Ā

Does your oc have a lot of clothes and how much of it do they actually wear?
hi! i'm so sorry this is so late, but it's a fun ask especially for rosalie lmao. rosalie has A LOT of clothes, she is in the stylist career so having clothes is kind of her thing. i try to give her 3-4 every day outfits, and then the other outfits have 2.-3 since she's living in sulani, it mostly contains either a mini or maxi skirt, but winter is a little rainy so i changed it up a bit. it might be impossible to wear everything she has, but she tries her best lol. thank you for the ask!!

Hello it's me and I'm in your "Asks" āŗļø
What/who made you come to simblr and what/who made you stay?
Hello!! I'm pretty sure when I came to simblr I had no idea who to follow beyond cc makers, specifically @ebonixsims & @xxblacksims. My simblr account was born due to the fact I had purchased TS4 for the first time and I wanted to make a cute bedroom for Eve, as I was procrastinating on cleaning and decorating my own bedroom. That was it! That was literally it! š
So I was just following random simblr blogs, and eventually I saw the storytelling community due to a reblog or something. I thought it was so interesting, because like everybody else when I played the sims I constructed a narrative in my head and to see people took their narratives seriously I thought, "okay, I want to try that too."
Also, in my childhood I loved to play games like Disney's Magic Artist Cartoon Maker where you just placed 2D stickers of Mickey Mouse and friends on a background, so I'm not surprised storytelling became the thing I felt the most passionate about. š
What made me stay were two things. The first was the stories I found by other people and the second thing is the bonds I formed with them, once I got out of my shy state, that is.
Although I had read a hand few of stories, @rebouks definitely had the first story that stuck out to me. Both in terms of narrative and visuals! @cinamun's story was the second story I became full-heartedly obsessed with. I saw a handful of posts back when Hope was a kid, and like...the characterization was so strong with Indya, Darren, and Lil' Hope that eventually I got curious about who they actually were and read the story from the beginning. And let me say reading Things Fall Apart from start to finish was the most inspiring thing as a new storyteller who didn't have editing skills that were exactly good. Because cin's editing was n o t h i n g like it is now and with each past post I read, I saw how she experimented with new things, slightly tweaked Indya's appearance over the years. But more than that, I noticed how her story grew in terms of readers. TFA did not always get a lot of notes. It was truly a, "okay, if Cin can progress like this, I can too. If Cin can grow like this, I can too." But yeah, rebouks and cinamun are absolutely my biggest inspirations with visuals and editing. And the fact they're both very sociable people when you message them was also encouraging, because there wasn't a sense of elitism that you can find in other fandoms spaces. This made me feel welcomed and like I wasn't a pest.
After that, I read more stories which led to me creating really strong friendships! Like, Hungry for Love by the user formally known as shanisims always stands out to me. That was another story I loved and obsessed over lmao I said it recently but @straightouttasimulation is a reason why I add prose to my story caps and she's even the reason why I attempted to do gifs. Because SHE started experimenting with gifs first! And then to see how she could pull them off, I thought: "okay, let me give it a try." All and all, she's a great mutual. I love her dearly. Then I met @digital-deluxe who shared my love for the mafia genre, and shortly after I think I began talking to @ardeney-sims. Tags led me to meet @swiftviolets who was also into the mafia genre and of course, @havenroyals and I started clicking a lot! And there's so many more people I love and cherish that I'm mutuals with [but I don't wanna like, tag everyone] BUT THE POINT IS I don't think I would be excited to log onto my dashboard if it weren't for the people I talk and joke around with. Even though it's good to try and like...be there for everybody in a community because people can feel overshadowed or neglected, communities are really about the people you vibe with the most because they're the ones who directly impact your experience.

Hi, Hi! I hope you are well. It sucks that you can't post because I miss seeing you on my dash. I saw your Eva sim, and I was wondering how did you get her boobs to look like that. Sorry for the message, I have been searching for a slider that makes the boobs look more natural for the longest. I appreciate you reading this message, and I hope you are having a great day! https://www.tumblr.com/gothoffspring/704734830531919872/i-just-wanted-to-make-my-insta-baddie-eva?source=share
Don't apologize, I totally get you! I used to be super jealous of how people got their sims' cleavage to look until I found these cleavage overlays. I LOVE them. I definitely used either N4 or N5 for Eva. I also highly suggest the wonderful pralinesims' cleavage overlays, I use them frequently too! And as far as the sliders, the only one that I think I'm using is the breast separation slider (I also use their enhanced butt/thigh sliders). Hope this helps!

Does your oc have a lot of clothes and how much of it do they actually wear?
i!!! completely forgot to reply to this š I'M SORRY SHANI pls take this outtake of Arashi from the Coachella poster shoot as penance ~ and i'll answer for him too.. though it's kind of a short answer : the man calls himself allergic to shirts š he has -access- to a lot of clothes, mostly athletic or avant garde, but he's wearing as few of them as he can get away with at any given time š¹šš¾āØ

I am asking you :D (I hope you don't mind) What is the greatest extravagance your OCs allow themselves?
I'm glad you asked! I was secretly hoping someone would š
This is a tricky question. Kai and Me-Me live very modestly, but they are rolling in dough. Me-Me's job plays very well, and the farm has been bringing in lots of money, so they are officially millionaires - but they don't live like it.
Kai's most significant purchase was his climbing treadmill. Kai inherited their house from his grandparents (on his father's side), and it already came equipped with workout gear. If it weren't - Kai would have splurged on some. Because of his farming responsibilities, they don't get to vacation as much as he would like, but since their family is so big, Kai would spare no expense when it comes to accommodations (like when they rented that big house in Tartosa). He also spends money regularly on their gardener, who helps keep the crops healthy and thriving.
Me-Me's father, Merlin, was a cheap skate, and I believe Me-Me might have inherited that to a certain extent. She rarely spends money on herself. But she does splurge when it comes to gift-giving. She'd rather spend extravagantly on other people.
Wade is slightly spoiled. He grew up reading fairy tales and adventure stories with rich princes and princesses, so he believes his life should be like that. He does not like living on the farm because it makes him feel like a plebeian (this will come up in the next update).
Mason doesn't care about material things yet. So if there's anybody who would be perfect for inheriting the homestead and living in such a small town, it would be him.
Drake has discovered there's fun to be had in playing tricks on people. If there was a joke shop in the game, that's where he'd spend all his allowance. He is still too young to know how much money his family has.

When I do get around to depicting Pietro's backstory in Sink or Swim, my source of inspiration is directly coming from Hungry For Love by Shanisims. The way the story briefly took a detour from the main plot to focus on a character's (Odessa's) past really played an impact on me in the way it was built up and written. I was torn between just doing a spin-off on Pietro in the early 2000s and posting it seperately or weaving it into Sink or Swim as a "bonus chapter" after chapter 7 (likely) but I really think I'm going to just go with the former route.
Beyond that another way Hungry for Love impacted my storytelling is how I began putting prose on my caps š„²Always shout out the stories near and dear to your heart.

What is your oc's favorite holiday, if any? What do they like about it?
Thanks a lot for this ask @shanisims ā„ You always find nice ones to make us elaborate more on our babies !
I'm going to answer for the DH gang as usual ^^
Destiny and LeĆÆla both love birthdays. It's a good way for them to organize the best day for their loved ones. Destiny is more into parties and LeĆÆla into familial events.
Halloween and midsommar are the witches favs aka LeĆÆla, Halette and Denise, also Chester mainly for occult reasons. Renji is also a huge fan of this holiday since he's a kid. He loves the weirdness of it and now that he's a vampire, it's the only night he can feel a bit "human" so ...
AĆÆssa and Hiro are more Christmas fans as it's a time for nostalgia, family and good food. Hiro also loves to receive presents, AĆÆssa loves to make them and see how people react on it.
Milo loves love so ... Valentine day and Pride month are probably what makes him the happiest. Even though he spends most of his Valentine days alone, he still loves the power of love around.
Last one, Soraya, she's a huge lover of Ramadan and especially EĆÆd at the end. She loves to makes all her family recipes and invites friends and family to celebrate this special events together. It's also a good occasion for both Asham sisters to get closer and talk about their personnal issues.

What is your oc's favorite holiday, if any? What do they like about it?
I have not thought very much about the holidays in Armorica. I've established New Year's Day as a big holiday, and there is enough about the setting that is ambiguously Catholic that I think there would likely be a lot of holidays grounded in religious tradition, even if the modern-day celebrations are largely secular.
I'm a little hesitant to bring real holidays into my setting because it drags real world history and religion into the setting...if there is christmas in armorica, does that imply the existence of sim jesus? do i want to open that can of worms? am I the only person who thinks about this on this level? (answers: yes, no, perhaps)
anyway. i'm sorry, but my answer is that i have not done enough worldbuilding to be able to say what holidays exist in armorica and what any given character feels about them. i do not have an answer to this question,
#shanisims#armorica asks#i have been sitting on this ask for so long because i just cannot for the life of me think of an answer#not all of us can have beautiful custom calendars [sob emojis]#vague blogging @ n with that one
