[nekrophoria]

For the OC ask: 5 for Mel, 15 for Serena, 17 for Simon, and 10 for any character of your choice!

Thank you <3

Mel

How far is your OC willing to go to get what they want?

If it's only Mel we're talking about....not very far.

He generally tends to take what he perceives as the path of least resistance in almost any situation and wouldn't really go beyond that unless he really really really had to.

--------

Serena

Does your OC have a faceclaim? If so, who?

Not really. (tbh none of my characters have an actual face claim apart from Lyall partially)

I did sort of implement certain attributes of fictional characters or people I know/ have seen somewhere in both her style and facial features tho...just not enough to really call it a face claim.

Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim vs the World for example is a character I very loosely based her on.

--------

Simon

What is the worst thing you have put your OC through story-wise?

(small tw for transphobia just in case)

Most of the answers here would be too much of a spoiler so I'm just gonna go with one thing, which is the fact that his relationship with his mother suffered quite a lot under his transition.

It's not like she disowned him or broke contact or anything like that, but she still has a lot of trouble becoming adjusted to it, which naturally causes a lot of tensions between them at times.

Part of me would love to just say "fuck it" and have his mother be 100% accepting and supportive but sadly that is not always the reality.

--------

Mabon

What's an AU that would be interesting to explore with your OC?

One AU I would really love to explore more is the storyline of Mabon and @drawing-way-outside-the-lines' Caspian.

I like to think this AU is kinda...sorta what could come to be if Volatile was an interactive story (à la Life is Strange) and Mel/the Player made all the worst possible choices one could make.

I personally really like to dabble in this AU because:

a) I can just fuck around without much thought for plot and coherence

b) I love Caspian and his dynamic with Mabon.

and c) it allows me to explore a more unhinged side of Mabon.

Seriously I feel like guy has so much potential to be an amazing villain, but that part of him would never have a place in the canon for various reasons...nor would I really want it to be canon so...yeah....AU it is.

[nekrophoria]

5 & 18, for Simon plz

Which body part are they associated with? (Example: hands/arms symbolize strength.)

His mouth. Might be a strange answer but Simon isn't really a super handy or crafty person, the thing he values the most about himself are his thoughts and how he expresses them. He's also a singer in a band which is another important form of self expression to him.

Which card would they be from the major arcana of tarot cards? (If you’re more well read in tarot, you could also do minor arcana.)

I'm not super well versed on Tarot Cards but I would probably say The Star.

The general meaning of the upright star, moving away from a hurtful past, reinventing yourself and being more inspired, balanced and in tune with the universe fits Simon to a tee. Being a troubled teenager with a lot of dislike for himself and the world he basically became a completely new person after moving away from home and starting hormone therapy. It was a challenge but he's reached a point where he's at peace with himself.

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥

Thank you ❤️

Going with Simon for this because I didn't have him on my blog nearly enough lately.

5 facts about Simon

(gotta make new Avatars for all my OCs at one point)

1) Although Simon is gay he's had relationships and flings with women in the past. It took him quite a while to come to terms with his sexuality and he's still not quite sure whether he figured it out entirely.

2) He drinks around 6-8 cups of coffee per day.  It's not that he feels like he really needs that much, frankly he doesn't really feel a difference in energy he just really likes the taste and at this point it's such a fundamental part of his day that he couldn't imagine going without it. He usually drinks it black but adds cinnamon and or honey if he feels like it.

3) Although he's not crazy about children and doesn't plan on having any in the near future, he's really good with children. His two nephews adore him and quite literally cling to him during every family gathering. I think it's mainly the fact that he doesn't act fake or talk down to kids, and tries to meet them on eye level that draws them to him.

4) In the story he's currently working as a care assistent in a nursing home. And while he doesn't hate the job and enjoys working with most of the residents it's still quite draining to him at times and he's suffering under how much the job and  the irregular shifts have been limiting his hobbies and social life, which makes him slowly but surely start to question his career choice.

5) Simon in general enjoys physical intimacy. He respects other people's boundaries but if he likes somebody (platonic or not) he likes to express it through physical gestures (like hugs, touching the back or shoulders, generally being physically close to the person)

[nekrophoria]

Oc asks once again, please XD for Simon this time, thank you <3 number 3, 7, 15, 16, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41 and 59 :)

Thank you so so much!! ;u;

Questions for Simon coming right up:

3. How would they fare in a zombie apocalypse?

Honestly, I feel like he'd be the Jack of all trades in the group, makeshift medic and caretaker thanks to previous experiences as a healthcare assistant, possibly capable at keeping the morale of the group high (he'd totally be a group person) and while having no clue about weapons he'd still be able to kick ass if he had to (the guy knows Krav Maga after all)

Although he would try to avoid having to attack anyone, zombie or not, his conscience would still suffer so he'd probably stick to a more supportive role.

7. Have they committed a crime before? Which one(s)?

Apart from the fact that he pirated photoshop, various music plugins and a few sample packs in the past, and the occasional taking public transport without a ticket he has a clean slate.

15. How would they describe themselves?

Simon: "I wouldn't. I'm me, that's all you need to know . Feel free to paint your own picture from there."

16. How would others describe them?

It really depends on the person. Truth is he gives off very different impressions depending on his surroundings and how well the people in question actually know him.

People who don't know him well might describe him as very confident, a bit vain, kinda unfazed about everything, low-key intimidating.

While people who know him better would probably describe him as more of a lovable odd ball, funny, intelligent, serene, and yet full of life. Very complex and yet authentic. You get what you see but what you see might not always be that easy to figure out.

Others again might describe him as a very insecure individual who hides himself behind this perfect persona he has created for himself.

36. What’s their favorite thing about themselves?

The thoughts that are floating around in his head... and his sweet style. Although he'd probably say the latter as more of a joke he means it xD

38. If they hear something go bump in the night, do they get out of bed to check it out or do they stay put?

Depends. He'd probably check with a healthy amount of caution if he has no idea what's going on. He can defend himself if push comes to shove. If he can somewhat assess the situation and realize it's too much for him to take on he will stay put and let the cops handle it.

39. What’s one skill they wish they had?

He's lowkey jealous of Serena for being able to draw. He's not super skilled with a pencil, like at all.

40. What do other people find annoying about them, if anything?

One thing that people tend to find annoying about him is that you can't really argue with him. That might not seem like a downside but imagine you're very passionate about your point of view but the opposition just calmly explains to you why they think you're wrong but it's cool cuz you do you... ALL THE TIME. Without even giving you an opportunity to defend your point or fight for it. It kind of makes you even more frustrated than you were to begin with.

(Serena had to resist the urge to literally shake him on multiple occasions when they had a disagreement.)

41. What do other people love most about them?

That he meets people on eye level.

I don't know if that makes sense but unless you give him a very good reason not to, he will have the same respect for you that he has for himself.

59. What motivates them?

1) The fact that he has come as far as he has, because truth be told there was a time when he wasn't sure he'd make it this far in life

And 2) That might be a daft answer but...just living life to the fullest.

Wanting to gain as much experience as he can. Seeing as much of what life has to offer as he can. Both positive and negative. He doesn't really wanna leave too many stones unturned before his time is up.

[nekrophoria]

Oc asks

requested by @nocturnalazure. Thank you! Luv you too <3

Mel

E) Are they someone you would get along with? Would they get along with you?

I'd like to think we'd get along well, I but honestly...I'm not sure. I feel like we'd be a bit like two magnets with the same pole.

Besides Mel has the tendency to look for more dominant and confident people than him that can get him to come out of his shell. I think that's a contrast he needs to actually warm up to someone.

2. How easy is it for your character to laugh?

It depends. Generally Mel isn't really the type to laugh per se. He's more the type to snort or give a light chuckle when something amuses him. Him actually laughing out loud is something that is difficult for him and that happens quite rarely.

10. What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them?

Mel doesn't really lie if he can avoid it, apart from the occasional white lie. He's more prone to just withhold things.

Most frequently that was the case shortly before he ran away from the residental home he lived in with Serena and Roy, he didn't tell anyone about how he was struggling mentally at the time, mainly because he was confused about it and feared judgement, until he couldn't conceal the severity of his mental state anymore which caused pretty strong tensions between him and Roy (sorry for keeping it so vague, but that'll have to do for now)

That does haunt him quite a bit, in fact he knows had he been more open and seeked proper help during that time a lot of things in his life would have turned for the better.

31. Who are they the most glad to have met?

Serena, definitely. A few years ago he would have said her and Roy but at this point he deeply regrets meeting him, also for Roy's sake.

Mabon

11. How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)?

If the confusion directly affects him, he will seek clarification first and foremost. However he would do so while basically belittling who or whatever confused him.

This incorrect quote is a pretty good example :

33. Could they be considered lazy?

Oooff, I don't think so. He's more...how do I put this...incredibly uncooperative when it comes to doing tasks he himself deems unnecessary or doesn't want to do.

He's the kinda guy that would clean the entire fucking flat if he's bored enough, and he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty to achieve his goals...in contrast however if somebody *coughs*Serena*coughs* would ask him to get up and get the remote from a meter away he probably couldn't be arsed....you get the picture...

Simon

18. What embarrasses them?

Simon is not the type to embarass easily, quite the contrary. Even Uli can't get him to embarass and god knows he tried. I like to think so at least xD

I think the one thing that can embarass him or make him uncomfortable is starting drama or conflict over him, which has happened in the past.

23. How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)?

Nothing like that. He used to be quite envious and bitter when he was younger, which mainly stemmed from a deep dissatisfaction with himself. Every now and then it still shines through. But he's found a good way to deal with it is just trying his best to be happy for the person, and expressing that. It somehow makes the feeling of envy almost nonexistent for him.

Roy

6. Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable?

Roy thinks laws are made for a good reason, and he doesn't really doubt the justice system. I dare to say if you chose a career path with the police that's probably a given, at least to some.

However I think one reason for that is that he's had the privilege so far of being spared from experiencing what it's like if the justice system fails you.

12. How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?

He'd probably try to ignore it at first and if push comes to shove (and if no ones looking) use a pen or ruler or something similar to help him out

Dolores

36. Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap?

Dolores is very passive when it comes to romantic interactions of any kind . Part of her is still caught up in this delusion that her Prince Charming will show up to woo her one day. The other part thinks she isn't good enough for anyone anyway so she wouldn't even dare to make advances with anyone. So yeah, she's kinda waiting for it to fall into her lap, but even if that were to happen chances are she wouldn't realize.

Roland

(poor guy still doesn't have an a proper Avatar but I've been spamming his face for the last six months so I guess that evens it out)

B What inspired you to create them?

Honestly...I'm not entirely sure. Roland is one of these characters that sorta created himself and I just kinda rolled with it...get it? Rolled...?

I'll show myself out.

The initial reason for his creation was that I felt like Mel was lacking a "parental figure" of sorts. And to be quite honest I felt like I was lacking a parental figure in the story as well to express certain things I wanted to express.

20. If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?

He'd probably need a lot of of time to think of a good answer. In fact I doubt that he would really come up with something apart from "You're asking the wrong person mate" and a shrug.

The way he sees it...I doubt he would say it like that though.. is that familial love is unconditional or at least should be whereas platonic love is not...and romantic love is just platonic love + attraction and sex.

Serena

G What trait of theirs bothers you the most?

She can be very dominating at times. To a degree where its almost overwhelming to other people, without her really being aware of it. Especially with Mel, although it's not always noticeable since he's not very vocal about his needs but Serena has the tendency to just decide for him or put him in situations that she thinks are good for him (she tried to hook him up with multiple people from their school without him really giving his okay for example) while he himself is either lowkey uncomfortable with it or just goes along with it because it's the path of least resistance.

I dare to say Serena has improved a lot in that regard since she was a teenager and especially right now, after meeting Mel again for the first time in ages, she wouldn't pull those stunts but it's still an unhealthy tendency on her end, even if she means well.

13. What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color?

Serena doesn't really have a colour that suits her the most in her book, however she thinks she looks horrible in yellow...and red (although she really likes red)

I personally think she looks good in any colour, I particularly like her in white though.

38. What memory do they revisit the most often?

Her residential home used to do yearly trips to the North Sea. She wouldnt be able to cherry pick a specific memory but she often thinks back to these trips because they were probably the happiest times of her life.

[nekrophoria]

All the favorites for mah boy! *sending air kisses and glitter hearts* andddd all the Routines for Serena, all the philosophy for Simon aaaaand lastly all the other ones forrrrr Roland <3 please <3

Thank you so much 💙

And sorry for the delay

(Favourites for Mel I already answered as you know, will still send the kisses and glitter hearts his way xD

But here's the rest:

Routines for Serena:

1. Do they put the milk or the cereal first in the bowl?

Cereal first, anything else would be mayhem to her.

2. What do they wear to bed?

Depends on the weather. She tends to sleep naked or at least topless in summer, and usually opts for a random tshirt and sweatpants when it's cold.

3. Do they sing in the shower? What’s their go-to song (or karaoke song)?

Yes, much to her brother's dismay, cuz quite frankly she sounds like a dying cat. She just sings along to whatever comes up in her playlist. But her current favourite shower song is probably Miracle by Caravan Palace.

4. Right-handed or left-handed?

Right handed.

5. What is their preferred caffeine source and how do they take it?

There isn't anything with caffeine she dislikes.

She mainly goes for coffee of any kind (usually standard milk coffee, or Starbucks if she's feeling fancy) and Rockstar Energy Drinks.

6. What are their sleep habits like?

She's a pretty heavy sleeper. She sometimes has trouble going to bed on time though and tends to stay up till late in the night, but that's mainly because the night is like her only source of free time on a work day.

7. What song is likely to be in their Most Played list?

Elbow - Grounds For Divorce

It's her all time favourite song.

8. How do they relax after a stressful day?

Get takeout and do a movie marathon (preferably with Mel and/or Simon)

9. What do they do first thing in the morning?

She has coffee in the living room and listens to music, if she is not in a hurry. Otherwise she just brushes her teeth, showers and does her hair, sometimes everything more or less at once because she has no time management.

10. What’s the last thing they do before they go to bed?

Probably put on a playthrough on YouTube to watch/listen to until she dozes off.

11. Do they have any addictions (or former addictions)?

She's been a smoker since she was 13 and she has a teesy tiny energy drink addiction.

13. What are their bad habits?

Being late, being messy af, putting the needs of the people close to her above her own.

14. What’s something they have to do everyday (besides eating/taking medications/basic self-care)?

Nothing comes to mind.

15. Are there any phrases or gestures they overuse?

"Ya know? " she uses that phrase way too often.

She also had a phase where she would put "hella" in front of every word.

16. What do they keep in their pockets/bag/glove compartment?

A random assortment of half smoked cigarettes, keys, cellphone, hand lotion, a stress ball, a can of Rockstar, 2 lighters, her wallet...thats about it.

Philosophy for Simon:

1. Do they believe in soulmates or fate?

He doesn't believe in soulmates. Although he very much likes the idea.

As for Fate...Sort of. He likes to believe things happen for a reason, but that also comes from him having learnt to accept past things as they are. He likes to think everyone is capable of shaping their own destiny, however he doesn't deny the fact there are certain things that are simply out of our control.

2. Do they believe they have a destiny? What is it?

Kinda answered above already I guess

3. What are five things that always make them happy?

Sex

Nature

Ecstasy (preferably in combination with sex)

Singing

Spending time with friends

4. What is the quickest way to their heart?

Honestly...just be yourself, be authentic, be weird. He has a soft spot for people who don't fit the norm.

5. What’s one thing they would change about themselves?

Nothing much...he wouldn't mind some alterations in the downstairs department. But as of now he's unsure about bottom surgery. He's heard too many bad things about it.

6. If they had three wishes (standard genie rules apply) what would they wish for?

Uff now that is a tough one. Honestly, I think Simon would be quite overwhelmed with the possibilities there.

In the end he'd probably only wish for one thing. Because...too much responsibility.

He'd wish for his wish to not come true. Just to see what would happen.

7. What are their views on death?

The thought of death tends to unsettle him more than he likes to admit. It's not that he's scared of death but it's a subject he's pondered about endlessly and that kind of makes him border on an existential crisis and makes him question the sense in life. 'People die, he will die, there's nothing he can do about it so better not dwell on it' is the conclusion he came to.

8. What do they value above all else?

Curiosity, people who question and want to explore the world around them, openness, empathy, love...to name a few things.

I don't think he could settle for just one thing if he tried.

9. Are they superstitious?

He's a fairly logical person all in all, so no. Although his beliefs might make people think otherwise sometimes.

If anything he likes to defy superstitions for the sole purpose of disliking how much power they have over some people. (if he were to get a cat for example he would go with a black one out of spite. )

10. Do they have a creed or code that they live by?

Yes and no. I'd say the only thing he strictly lives by is is to avoid violence whenever he can. And to step away from anger and conflict for his own well being.

There are a few things that helped shape his general outlook on life and life philosophy...but not nearly enough to be considered a code or guide line.

Other for Roland:

[I don't have a proper picture for Roland yet, sorry Dx]

1. Can they ride a bike? A skateboard? A horse?

He can ride a bike. (What a surprise)

2. How would their best friend describe them?

He's a pretty private person and keeps most people at arms length. He doesn't really have any friends left at this point.

Most people would describe him as intimidating as fuck at first glance, looks like he eats small children for breakfast, incredibly hard to figure out (due to a constant poker face) all in all a good guy though, actually kind of awkward, but can probably still fuck you up if you give him a reason to.

3. What’s something they do to indulge or treat themselves?

Cigarettes and Whiskey (although both is more of a necessity than an indulgence at this point).

4. Would they rather be a pirate, a cowboy, a ninja, or an astronaut?

Probably a cowboy, he kinda fits that aesthetic already. But he'd be more of a lone rider type. And he'd have a Donkey instead of a horse. Mel is the donkey.

5. What would they name their children (or pets if they wouldn’t want children)?

The last thing he ever wanted was kids (lol)

And he doesn't give a flying fuck about names. Chances are he's already forgotten your name after your first conversation and will just never adress you with it anymore, simple as that.

(Got him into a lot of trouble with women in his life)

Same for pets...he never had a pet and if he were to get one for whatever reason he'd probably just give it a bunch of nicknames depending on his mood and situation. (I could totally imagine having a dog that he lovingly calls "Ey! " or "Bastard"... or "Garbage Disposal" or something akin to that.)

[nekrophoria]

For Simon please! 🐝🍯💫📷🦄🦋

Thank you so much for asking :D

🐝- describe your aesthetic in emojis

💜🌿🌟🌌🤘🏾⚛️♾✴

I'm more a fan of the old fashioned smileys...but...i guess that'll do. *chuckles*

🍯- describe your favorite smell

Hm...

*closes eyes* It's a very overtaking smell...otherworldly...and yet...natural...as natural as it gets for me...sort of...smoky, quite smoky actually...and sweet but...spicy? I'm just throwing words around but shit it's hard to describe.

It's basically the scent of home to me at this point...it's...comforting.

*shakes head* If you have any idea what I was talking about I salute you.

💫- what is your sun, moon, and rising sign?

Scorpio sun, moon...I think it was Sagitarius, but I could be wrong...and my rising sign is Cancer.

Do with that info what you will.

📷- a photo of yourself

Have this glorious piece a buddy took from a 3 am video call.

...I need a new webcam.

🦄- how do you perceive yourself?

Hm...with these kinds of questions I always like to ask the question back...just to get a general idea of what sort of answer is expected of me. Not because I think my answer might be wrong...I'm just curious. *smiles*

But I'll keep it short, once again...my perception is as flawed as I am. Every now and then I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror...and sometimes I like to think I know the person I see but frankly I don't know shit. It will take me a lifetime to figure myself out, even more perhaps...and that's fine.

🦋- how do you think others perceive you?

I guess that differs from person to person. And I'm not gonna waste my time wondering about it.

[nekrophoria]

I assume.... hmm what do I assume? I assume Simon smells like burnt coals and incense. And I mean that in the best way possible. It's two smells I find very comforting. He just looks to me like someone who smells like something who has burnt or is still burning :3

Gaaaah thank you... <3

You are very close. Incense is definitely a part of Simon's general smell at this point. I get where you're coming from with burnt coals but the closest to that would be a hint of weed and/or cigarette smell if he's fallen into the habit again.

Just for the lols...this is a description of his current perfume that sums up his smell quite well:

[nekrophoria]

all “lust” asks for Simon

Requested by @in-sempiternam

👀 - ever had intercourses with more than one partner?

Yes, the highest was a foursome,but he’d be open to up the number.

👙 - do they have some particularly weird kink?

He has a thing for exhibitionism (in a healthy and consensual way) he likes the idea of being watched while having sex or making out, as well as having sex in a more public setting (but again only if the people present are not disturbed by it.)

He also likes the thought of having a big ass orgy at some point. But he probably wouldn't want to engage in that with complete strangers.

💌 - do you enjoy one night stands/having fuckbuddies?

He's not super big on one night stands anymore for multiple reasons. He did have (and still has) a few fuck buddies though, some of which came to be through one night stands. He likes to surround himself with people that are more sexually open and therefor open for casual hookups every now and then.

🔌 - do they own any sexual toys?

Yes, although he has trouble finding toys that work for him. Despite that he's got a fairly big collection though (Do you I need to go into detail? XD)

💵 - would they accept money in exchange of sex/sexual favors?

[nekrophoria]

I was tagged by @drawing-way-outside-the-lines​. Thank you so much! <3

Rules: 1. Pick a sim of your choice 2. Tell us about them 3. Tag someone else (if you want to!)

I’m going with Simon for this, cuz he deserves more love.

Name: Simon Davis

When is your sim’s birthday? November 5th

What is your sim’s zodiac sign? Scorpio 

Marital Status: He hasn't been in an official relationship for quite some time. Right now he has a pretty open thing going on with 2 guys.

Does your sim have any nicknames? Nope

Do they have a job? He's recently started working full time as a health care assistant in an old people's home.

He's also trying to dabble in music production...for now that basically means he sells "beats" and royalty free loops that he makes. And he publishes solo works on YouTube. But there's no money in that.

And he's the singer of a metal band (Glass and the Ghost Children), but he's not sure if he can consider that a job at this point.

Where does your sim live? He has a decently sized two room flat in a pretty busy (and somewhat shady) part of town. Said town is a fictional City near London that I haven't found a good name for yet.

Who does your sim live with? He's lived with 3 different room mates for the past few years, right now he lives alone and is trying to find someone to move in with him.

What environment did your sim grow up in? Surprisingly stable given the fact that most of my characters have a pretty fucked up home life.

He was raised by his mom and older sister who is almost like a substitute mom to him (She's more than ten years older than him so it makes sense)

His father died shortly after he was born. Which left his family in a tight spot financially, so lack of money was always an issue in his family. All around I'd say it was a pretty loving environment though.

What are your sim’s favorite foods? Ackee Avocado salad (his own recipe) is probably his favourite.

What is your sim’s favorite drink? He mainly drinks mineral water (sometimes infused) or smoothies. And coffee. Lots of coffee.

He's not much of a drinker when it comes to alcohol.

He usually just goes for fruity cocktails, or white wine spritzer...or he just sticks to water.

What is your sim’s favorite color? Purple

Is your sim introverted or extroverted? Definitely more extroverted, he gets miserable without much human contact

What is your sims favorite woohoo position? 69 in every possible variation

Is your sim a pet person? Not really. He loves animals (it's the main reason he's trying to live vegan) but he wouldn't want to have one as a pet.

Does your sim have a best friend? Nope, he's got a pretty huge circle of friends but he wouldn't consider anyone his best friend.

What is / was your sim’s favorite school subject? Ironically he hated music class. He quite enjoyed Biology though. Apart from that he was more a fan of extra curriculur activities, which is where he discovered his interest in martial arts and partially computer science and coding.

And he had a love hate relationship with P.E.

Are they planning to go or have they already been to college? He studied software engineering for one semester but dropped out because he realized it wasn't really for him.

Does your sim have a favorite TV show? That would probably be Mr. Robot

Does your sim like books? He enjoys reading quite a bit

He's currently reading "The Prophets" by Robert Jones Jr. and "The Varieties of Religious Experience" by William James.

He's not super big on fictional literature anymore although he used to enjoy the works of George Orwell and Isaac Asimov when he was younger.

What is your sim’s personal style? It really depends on his mood. There are days when he goes with a more tame dark boho look of sorts and other times when he goes full on goth.

Is your sim religious? He wouldn't want to call it religious, it has a bad ring to it in his opinion.

His religious views are hard to explain. It's a wild mix of Theistic and LaVeyan Satanism mixed with elements of Luciferianism general occultism for the lack of a better word and Buddhism.

...you need a fucking road map for that one.

What kind of music does your sim listen to? Progressive metal and Rock mainly...and  bit of blues and 80s synth here and there.

Here are a few examples of what you’d find in his spotify playlist:

Opeth - Godhead’s Lament

Dance With The Dead - Skeletons In The Attic

Erra - Ultraviolet

Zeal and Ardor - Come On down

What is your sim’s favorite type of weather? He really likes sunny weather right after it rained.

Does your sim have a dream job? He wouldn't mind making music his main career, whether in a band or as an independent artist doesn't matter to him.

Does your sim have any siblings? He has an older sister, and 2 nephews who are almost like siblings to him.

Does your sim get along with their family? He gets along with them pretty well. He's grown a bit distant towards them in the last few years though. For no reason other that he feels like they wouldn't really approve of his life style.

What is your sims favorite hobby?

Cooking, meditating, and working on music

What does your sim look for in a romantic partner? He's pretty open when it comes to partners. He does need a partner who is open minded and has a decent amount of intelligence, or at least somebody who is on a similar wave length as him mentally.

What is a flaw your sim has? Simon is very focused on self improvement which can steer into an unhealthy or toxic territory when it comes to certain aspects of life. He's very prone to cut people out of his life if he feels like their attitude interferes with his personal growth.

Does your sim have a greatest achievement? The fact that his band had a gig at an Antifa music festival in Ireland

What is your sim’s greatest regret? He doesn't really have any? He tries not to get caught up on regrets and just takes things as they are. That doesn't mean that he never wishes things would have gone differently in his life, but he wouldn't go as far as to fully regret them.

I don’t know who to tag, so just consider yourself tagged if ya wanna do it!

Thank you <3

And sorry for the weird format, mobile tumblr makes copying text from one tumblr post to another a friggin pain...

Simon:

PARTNER.   what does your muse look for in a partner? looks / personality?

He's pretty open for different kinds of people when it comes to potential partners. In fact always going for the same kind of people would be quite boring to him. He sees it, not really as a challenge, but as a way to broaden his horizon to engage with diverse partners.

However even with casual or short lived things he needs somebody with a high level of intelligence and a certain open mindedness, if he can't have interesting conversations with the person, and they don't really get his thought processes things get dull for him quite quickly. Same goes for humor, if he can't have fun with the person it's probably a no for him.

Serena:

CHOCOLATE.   does your muse like chocolate? which one is their favourite?

She's more a fan of salty snacks like potato chips but that doesn't stop her from absent mindedly eating a whole pack of whatever chocolate is lying around.

So yeah, she doesn't have a favourite nor does she really dislike any chocolate (apart from dark chocolate) but it's not her go to snack.

Mabon:

  KISS.   is your muse a good kisser? why / why not?

He’s alright. But too pushy. He goes from zero to a hundred real quick.

If his partner wants a slow passionate makout session they should look somewhere else.

For Simon: 04 - For Mel: 09 + 19 (he gets a bonus question :p) - For Serena: 18 - For Roy: 37 - For Mabon: 70 - For Oswald: 52

Thank you &lt;3

No "read more" sadly because I'm on mobile.

(also they mobile app seems to have a new bug that puts paragraphs in a text post out of order. So in case that happened here let me know!)

Simon

04: Are you insecure?

"About a few things, naturally. Would be weird if I weren't.

But am I generally an insecure person? No."

Mel

09: Do you bite your nails?

"I used to. *shakes head and smiles* When I was younger my nails were completely fucked because of it like...all the time. One of my caretakers got me this nail polish that's supposed to help you stop. Tastes awful but...it didn't really do much.

It's gotten better though. Cigs help with that... "

19: Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?

"I...*breathes out* I'm not sure...

*is silent for a minute*

I mean...what's the point? "

Serena

18: Are you scared of spiders?

*laughs* "Not..really... I even think some are kinda cute, but it really depends on what kind of spider...and how big they are.

Okay! I admit. Some do freak me out. But long as they stay out of my business I'm cool with them."

Roy

37: Is it easier to forgive or forget?

"Both is hard if you ask me.

*frowns* I don't know if I can really answer this. I wish both would be easier, if I'm being honest, but I guess...forgiving people is at least possible...sometimes.

Forgetting...not so much."

Mabon

70: Is there anyone you would die for? 

"...No.

But, just out of curiosity, did you really expect a different answer?"

[nekrophoria]

Please list 5 facts about your favorite sim, and send this to 10 people whose sims you adore! ❤

Thank you so much! 💕

And sorry for taking so long to answer.

Since I'm already spamming everyone's dashboard with Simon, I might as well give you 5 facts about him:

His favourite colour is purple.

He's the singer and (partially) producer of a progressive metal band called "Glass and the Ghost Children". He also started a solo project that he uses to release more random and unconventional works. Both his projects don't have much of a following (yet)

He's vegetarian. He was vegan for a while, but wasn't able to keep up a vegan diet due to money issues (and partially lack of self control). He plans on going fully vegan again once he's more financially stable.

You cannot argue with this guy. It's not that he avoids arguments or confrontation at all costs but he will refuse to go beyond a certain point when it comes to discussions or conflicts and will rather treat people with indifference than with contempt if push comes to shove.

When people ask him about his religion he usually refers to himself as agnostic with spiritual tendencies. In his case, what that means basically is that he takes bits and pieces of all kinds of religious and spiritual beliefs and sort of pieces them together to his liking. He likes to think that every religion has its truths and faults and therefore just takes from them what he thinks is plausible.

💵 for Simon - 🍙 for Mel - 👊 for Serena - 🤷 for Oswald - 😍 for Mabon (I'm sorry, I can't keep to just one! xD)

Thank you so much!! (and don't ever apologize for that xD)

Simon:

💵 - would they accept money in exchange of sex/sexual favors?

Although he's not opposed to other people taking or paying money for sex, it doesn't fit his personal mindest at all.

For him sex should be as casual and tied to as few conditions as possible.

Taking money for it would just ruin the entire experience for him.

Mel:

🍙 - do they enjoy foreign food?

He's definitely open to it (to be fair he's not a picky eater in general)

He didn't really have much foreign food in his life...but he's a sucker for Chinese takeaway, does that count? XD

Serena:

👊 - did they ever punch someone?

Do you really need to ask? XD

Yes. I mean...she still has the tendency to give people "affectionate shoulder punches" (all in good fun of course)

And when she was younger she used to be quite aggressive and had issues regulating her emotions...and a common way for her to settle disputes with the other kids were fist fights.

Mabon:

😍 - what’s the most important material object they own?

Mabon doesn't have much that he considers his property. The few things Mel owns, Mabon doesn't really care for.

The one thing he considers his sole property is his knife.

It's an old English WW2 style combat knife that Roland gave Mel on his 16th Birthday (lovely present, I know)

Mel never really cared for it (in fact he even considered getting rid of it for...reasons I don't have to name here) and Mabon sort of claimed it as his own.

[nekrophoria]

33 for Mel (and 25 too, just because :D), 13 for Mabon, 2 for Serena, 26 for Roy, 27 for Simon, 5 for Oswald, 28 for Dolores, and 23 for Alexej and Roland that we don't know anything about! >_<

Thank you! :D

Coming right up!

Mel

33. Do they have a signature accessory?

I wouldn't say so, I mean he isn’t really the type to accessorize. Hell...you can be happy if he changes clothes every once in a while xD

I’d say the only acessories would be a cigarette in his hand at any given opportunity and his earrings, which he refuses to take out despite them getting infected all the time.

25. What is something they think they’re bad at, but are actually pretty competent at?

Writing Although that's debatable I guess.

Also musically he's more talented than he gives himself credit for, being able to to play two instruments by ear with little knowledge in music theory, although I'm not sure how capable he still is after not having played for years.

Mabon

13. What is something that makes them uncomfortable?

Good question...I'd say what generally makes him uncomfortable is anything that undermines his dominance.

Basically whenever Mabon fronts the first thing he will do is try to take as much control as he can of whatever situation he may find himself in. If that's not possible...well let's just say it's a huge trigger for him.

Therapists and doctors are a good example for that, because he feels like he's at their mercy in both cases he gets incredibly wary and defensive, or he just completely shuts off.

Another thing that makes him uncomfortable, although he'd never admit it are women. Especially confident women. Bonus points if he's attracted to them.

Serena

2. Who do they look to for guidance?

Nobody?

Not in a "I don't trust other people" or "I don't need people's help" sorta way, but it just doesn't really occur to her that she can ask for advice or let somebody else take the lead, despite doing the same for the people around her almost without thinking.

To be fair she also didn't really have a figure in her life that would actually be capable of proper "guidance"

Okay nobody is not quite true. She does trust her therapists judgement on many things, and she has two parental figures that came into her life at a later point whose help and guidance she's not opposed to taking, and she also talks to her ex/co-worker Lucas about an lot of her issues. But like I said, most of the time it doesn't occur to her to rely on anyone but herself.

Roy

26. What is something they’re legitimately bad it?

Two things: Telling jokes (it’s not like he has no sense of humor but his delivery usually falls very flat) and comforting people (he is incredibly awkward and blunt when it comes to comforting people. don’t expect more than a helpless pat on the shoulder or a “suck it up”.)

Simon

27.Do they have any cool scar stories?

Not really. Although there's one. He has a surgical scar on his chest that marks one of the best and most important decisions he's made in his life.

Dolores

28. When left to their own devices, how would they spend a free day?

Probably just staying in bed curled up in a blanket with her cats, watching netflix, or playing Nintendo switch. And at the end of the day she'd regret that she didn't do more.

Regarding Roland and Alexej...I was dreading somebody asking about them xD Just a bit of clarification, both are charatcers that play a role in the story, and they’re developed enough to deserve a spot on my character page. But it’s hard to talk about them at this point without spoiling too much. Another reason to get on with this friggin story...

Roland

23. What do they want most in life?

His annoying godson to get a grip and get off his case.

Alexej

23. What do they want most in life?

Make amends with the family he's left behind. Bring his brother back from the dead just so he can kill him himself.

Make of that what you will.

OC asks for Simon

as requested by @thorns-of-peace (thank you ❤️)

frost - if you could give some advice to your younger self, what would you say?

*thinks for a minute*

"I don't think there's anything I would want to tell my younger self...figuring things out at my own pace is what made me who I am today...and I wouldn't want to interfere with that. Past me would understand that...sooner or later."

cranberry - what’s one physical feature that you get complimented on?

*laughs* "I have been told that I have very nice lips."

pumpkin - do you think that humans are inherently good or bad?

*sighs* "Not a fan of this question I gotta be honest with you.

I'm going to spare you the pain of listening to me rant for two hours though...I think more than anything humans are incredibly confused...and they try to hide that confusion behind this...concept of good and bad, which is one of humanities many design flaws...to put it mildly."
