1. Honestly, a little bit of both. I do a general outline of the main plot, as well as any worldbuilding needed. And once I start writing, I let the pacing flow naturally and the characters flesh themselves out 2. Current WIP - "The Court Magician": Forest man on house arrest must save the world from the fae 3. (not sure, will come back) 4. Fantasy, Adventure 5. Reluctant Chosen One

🌹 @mayonayys

1. I'm definitely a planner! I enjoy a bit of chaos, but need structure for most things, and that includes writing. An example of my most extreme planner moment: I was writing up fake advertisements for my in world D&D newspaper, had to give the businesses addresses... So I stopped halfway through and had to plan out most of a market district map, which will probably never be used again 2. Aura Sighted: Gifted-kid burnout syndrome mage has to figure out how to save her sister from a psychotic King, while staying out of the way of the Prince with daddy issues. 3. Keywords: (I'll come back to this one) 4. Genres: Fantasy, Action/Adventure, Eventual Romance 5. Favorite Tropes: Found Family, Eventual Idiots to Lovers, with a hint of Enemies to Lovers Bonus: My Camp goal this year is just to get some writing done; shooting for 15k words!

🌹 @becausethecat

1. Planning: Generally it depends. I don’t outline Fic usually, or random ideas that just jump out, but I do like having vague-to-solid roadmap on other ideas 2. WIP that i think I’m gonna try to do: A pirate loses his ship and crew to his creditors and makes a drastic attempt to pay them off by promising to produce a rare magical artifact—a weather violin that specifically calls moody weather when played—and he isn’t prepared for his quest to dump him on a small island, inhabited by one other person; the violinist who found his treasure first. 3. Key Words: Broody Boi, Dislike to Love (think animated Anastasia/Dimitri), reformed pickpocket, identity, violin + The sound of rain on a tin roof while a sad viloin plays, deserted island, survival, persons of debatable charm, BLORBOS 4. Genre is uhhhh.... Pirate Captain on a deserted island with a Moody Violinist ..... idk if it will be humor or romance or survival but it’s def Fantasy with Magic and whatnot 5. Tropes: Pirate on Deserted Island, Survival, is Learning to Communicate Effectively a trope? And uhhhh I’m not sure how the Only One Bed will turn out that’s the one I pulled out of a hat (what quantifies Idiots to Lovers bc they might be that too)

🌹 @fanged-writer

1. former pantser, trying to plan now. don't think my previous method was working for me, so I'll see how this goes! 2. sentence: an average human is suddenly gifted 'divine' knowledge, transporting them from one dismal situation to another. 3. will need to figure these key words out, i think. 'wasps, red, gods, superstition, summer'. 4. not too sure, but got some fantasy in there... 5. rivals and rivals and more rivals. also deceit.

🌹 @inkspellangel

1. A little of both. I plan a bit and then hope I don't pants my way too far away from that vague outline :'D 2. SSP: Grumpy punk with wolf companion has to arrest his childhood friend because of reasons he can't believe. 3. Keywords: Mad scientist, childhood friends to lovers, grumpy/sunshine friend dynamic, cave system, more vibes than plot at this point 4. Subterranean sci-fi, I think 5. 100% sunshine/grumpy friends

🌹 @fleurtygurl

1. I think I lean more towards a pantser. Ideas come to me as I write that I would never have thought of in the planning stages of my wip. But I'm doing my best to find a way to give myself more structure. 2. Filipina in San Francisco meets cyborg private investigator, and they solve some murders. 3. Keywords: tomboy, trauma, sapphic, straight people being friends, siblings-centered 4. Sci-fi and mystery? ( i know there are technical differences between mystery and thriller, but i dont want to try and think about it.) 5. my favorite dynamic? Close sisters who can depend on one another

Barbie An In Depth Analysis and Essay

With over 200 careers within 60 years, she was first introduced to the public as Barbara Millicent Roberts, better known as Barbie. She is an inspiring and well-known female fashion icon. However, with careers like presidential candidate, paleontologist and doctor, it's reasonable to be suspicious about Miss Roberts’, who will be henceforth referred to as “Barbie careers”. In this essay I will be going into the nitty-gritty details about Barbie and her many careers.

Before we can truly talk about the details of Barbie, we must first know about Barbie’s childhood of, at least, the limited amount of her childhood we have been given access to via her books. Barbie grew up in Willows, Wisconsin with her parents George and Margret Roberts this is told to us by a series of novels that were published by Random House in the 1960s. It is unknown where she got her education up until high school, which we are told by the Random House novels, she goes to Willows Highschool. However, in the Generation Girl books, which were published in 1999 by Golden Books publishing company, that she attended Manhattan International Highschool in New York.

Her on and off again boyfriend, Kenneth Carson, who will be referred to as Ken, first appeared in 1961. He stayed by her side until February 2004, where they announced that they would be breaking up. During the 2 year break that Barbie and Ken had, Barbie began to date Blaine Gordan/O’Hare, who dated Barbie until Ken reappeared and they decided to rekindle their old flame. In February 2006 Barbie and Ken told the public that they were hoping to rekindle their relationship after Ken gets a makeover. So, after a two-year break Ken was back to being by Barbie’s side.

Skipper Roberts, the oldest of Barbie’s younger sisters, first appeared in 1964 up until 2003 when she disappears for 6 years, appearing again in public in 2009 where she has stayed up until now. Tutti and Todd were introduced in 1965, before Tutti disappeared in 1971 with Todd following in 1996. There has been no sightings of either of the children since, although there is a theory that Anastasia ‘Stacie’ Roberts is Tutti. Anastasia ‘Stacie’ Roberts was first introduced in 1990 where she was and often still is, mistaken as Tutti, who had disappeared roughly 19 years before. We were told she was Kelly at first but she was later renamed and introduced as Stacie who was presented as the twin of Todd up until he disappeared.

Stacie has not left the public eye since she was introduced. Kelly/Shelly Roberts, which name is the real name is unknown since the dolls are usually referred to as Kelly, they will be referred to as such. Kelly first stepped into the public eye in 1995 where she stayed up until 2010 when she disappeared; Chelsea Roberts was introduced only a few months later in 2010. The youngest sister of Barbie is Kristine ‘Krissy’ Roberts, who appeared in 1998 up until 2001. Krissy was an infant and the youngest sibling of Barbie that we’ve seen yet.

Over the many years we’ve seen siblings and friends age and disappear and reappear looking completely different. Barbie was in view of the public the whole time and changed overtime almost completely. Changing her hooded eyes to more a more rounded shape and her pursed lips into smaller pink lips. Barbie is over 70. When she was introduced, she was a teenager and she’s been seen almost all the time for those 60 years after being introduced. Barbie still looks like a young adult. Why doesn’t she age? It’s quite simple really, she’s immortal. Of course, one could argue that she simply has had a lot of plastic surgery but if we're being completely honest, there is no way that Barbie would look like she does now with plastic surgery. Her entire face shape changed. Yes, she is a model and lives in a mansion, but she is also a woman who prides herself on being as ‘her’ as possible. She would never undermine her support of young girls by crumbling to the beauty standards forced onto her.

Barbie has taken careers in positions ranging from stereotypical female roles such as teacher, army medic, and ballerina but has also taken on stereotypical male roles such as President, United States Marine Corps Sergeant, and Doctor. Barbie has done it all. One would wonder how she possible had all of these jobs. Let's assume that she worked on all these degrees on the side but to be the President. Well I’d certainly hope that all her attention was on serving the United States and not on getting another degree. In 60 years with a presidential term removed, leaves us with 56 years. 56 years multiplied by 52 for the number of weeks in a year divided by the 199 careers still left over. Doing the math leaves us with 14.6 or roughly 14 weeks which is just over a quarter of a year. Is this truly the amount of time Barbie spends on each of her jobs?

It couldn’t possibly be, as Barbie has run as a Presidential Candidate in 1992 winning and becoming the President in 2000, she ran again in 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016. Whether she will be running again in 2020 is unknown. With campaigning almost every election possible you’d have to consider the amount of time used campaigning in all her years. She’s campaigned 6 times, getting elected and winning once that equates to over 8 years of campaigning not including her presidency. We get this number from the average politician starts campaigning, 531 days before the election by dividing that by 7, we get the average weeks politicians start campaigning before elections, which is 75.8 or roughly 75 weeks before the election. By further dividing that by 52, the number of weeks in a year, we can see the average politician starts campaigning 1.45 years before the election. With Barbie campaigning 6 times that works out to 8.75 years of campaigning with the added 4 years of presidency makes 12.75 years of campaigning and being president. Well, Barbie’s schedule is packed, but still there are 198 jobs that require her and with a subtracted 12.75 years, does she really have time for it all? Surprisingly, yes. Using the same formula as before, which consisted of subtracting the 12.75 years, multiplying by 52 for all the weeks in the year and then dividing by 198 careers, we’ve yet to cover. That leaves us with 12.4 or roughly 12 weeks for each career besides her work as a presidential candidate or the president. Which while it doesn’t seem like much it is roughly 3 months per career.

Some of her other careers are also extremely wary, especially with the 12 weeks span each career would have to follow. For example, United States Marine Corps Sergeant, in order to get promoted to sergeant on has to have at least 24 months in the service, and 12 months as an E4 or in military terms a corporal, that’s 3 years but the average is 4.8 years. This leads us to our next problem; one must rise through the ranks of the military before you can become a corporal let alone a sergeant. So, let's quickly go through the ranks and the time needed to rank up at the minimum. The average time to be promoted to private first class is 6 months. To be promoted to the next rank, lance corporal, the average is 14 months. After Lance corporal is corporal which averages at 26 months, which clearly does not stick to the 12 weeks career span and she hasn’t even gotten to Sergeant which averages as stated before 4.8 years however these are all averages. So, let’s say Barbie gets promoted immediately after reaching the requirements, specifically the time requirements, which rarely ever happens if ever. The time requirement to be promoted to private first class is 6 months in service (TIS) and 6 months in grade (TIG), for lance corporal, it’s 9 months TIS and 8 months TIG, the ranks are competitive because there are less vacancies but we’ll assume that miraculously, Barbie got moved up as soon as she finished her requirements because why not. To become corporal you need 12 months TIS and 8 months TIG. To become Sergeant, you need 24 months TIS and 12 months TIG. All of that adds up to 85 months that's roughly 7 years but honestly that’s not the real answer you can get the TIG at the same time as TIS so it would only take 3 years give or take. Add 3 years to the 12.75 years from earlier and its 15.75 years and only 3 careers of the 200 have been followed. Doing some quick math with the same formula as earlier, each job must last 11 weeks which still could be accomplished but just barely.

The thing is that Barbie has done some incredible things, but the thing that got me suspicious is her career as an astronaut which happened twice, Barbie went to space once and decided that wasn’t good enough and did it again. It’s not the 11 weeks limit on each career that makes me suspicious of this one, it’s the fact that she did it before it could even be possible. Barbie became an astronaut for the first time in 1965. Yeah, you got that right, Barbie went to the moon 4 years before the first person on the moon Neil Armstrong! How in the hell did Barbie get to the moon before NASA and SSP? During the first Apollo launch, they were doing a regular unfueled practice when a cabin fire broke out and killed all three crew members on board, which happened in 1967. Barbie then proceeds to decide to go back to space in 1986, this is after the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster which disintegrated 73 seconds after it launched killing all 7 people on board. The thing is while Barbie was an astronaut only twice, she did go to space 3 times. One of these times is in 2013 under the career Mars Explorer because I guess astronaut isn’t good enough for her. Barbie was the first on the moon 4 years before Neil Armstrong and on Mars before we could even attempt to send anyone to Mars. Barbie is repeatedly the first to do extraordinary things, things we can’t even think to be able to do with the current technology.

Barbie has repeatedly been able to do things ‘regular’ people couldn’t even imagine. Becoming the president before a woman could or even get nominated by a dominant political party. Barbie truly has done everything, and if she has yet to do something, she will probably do it soon. Barbie is so much more than us. Barbie could be immortal but that wouldn’t explain all of the things happening to her and around her. Barbie is extremely lucky to not only get all the education to be able to do half of her careers, but to campaign and get elected as a president, become a United States Marine Sergeant in only 3 years, and go to space multiple times, once to the moon and to Mars. Barbie is truly inhuman, in fact to even compare her to us humans would be insulting. What I’m trying to say is that Barbie isn’t immortal because she is a god. It would be the only way for her to have done all these things. So, as Ariana Grande said, “God is a woman” and that woman is Barbara ‘Barbie’ Millicent Roberts.

I’ve been working on a secret project for a while, and this is it. 18 years ago today, I was born, and to mark the occasion, I decided to make 18 sims! I spent about a month or two on this, so I hope you guys like it! If you use these sims, please let me know!

I used CC on the everyday wear, but I believe that I only used in-game content for the other outfits. Rather than linking each and every single default I use, you can find them on my resource page here. All females use the forehead version of this cleavage overlay. I didn’t use much CC, if any, on the males besides my defaults!

Download the sims here!

I’m putting Everything below the cut because this is an extremely long post.
