No Blake and/or Ryan at the Met Gala tonight. I can't remember if you thought she'd be there or not😂. Brain fog from <gestures at everything>!

I noticed a few regulars missed it yesterday. Oh, well.

I really enjoyed the red carpet. I thought everyone looked fantastic, for the most part, and it was really lovely to see such an emphasis on tailoring - long under-appreciated and undervalued skills - as well as the celebration of Black fashion and Black culture.

Loved all the capes and the homage to Andre Talley. My favorites/best looks were Zendaya, Coleman Domingo (both looks), Diana Ross, and Lauryn Hill. Worst for me were Shakira, all the Kardashians, Chapell Roan, and Dua Lipa.

Sabrina Carpenter and Hailey Beiber needed pants or shorts. The bottomless look has no place at the Met Gala.

[gotyouanyway]

i say it all the time but andred ii is hardly anything without andy coleman's voice work. the complexity he puts into lines that are otherwise pretty straightforward on paper is incredible. happy "she's my wife" "you're telling me" "i won't accept that" "i'm sure he did" "i do" "it was self defense" day to all who celebrate

[straightbaittournament]

may the best bait win! propaganda under the cut:

alec and ellie:

They're your classic workplace enemies to lovers. Alec takes the job that Ellie was meant for, they're forced to work together on a devastating murder case, they bond. Over three series Alec becomes more human and lets his walls down around Ellie, and she begins to respect and trust him as a colleague and as a friend. Its a Big Deal when they hug. In most cases, especially when it's an m/f detective duo, they would end up together. But yet. Thee David Tennant and Olivia Coleman did not even have an aborted kiss or feelings confession. Neither of them end up with anyone else but they don't hint at anything at the end either. Queer Ally of all time David Tennant does straightbait ironically.

oscar and andre:

Okay, so this might sound kind of weird but bear with me because I really think they should count. Oscar was afab but her father gave her a boy's name and raised her as a boy (by 18th century standards) because sexism and he had 5 daughters and decided she was going to be a son because they were a noble family and he wanted a son to become a high ranking military official because they're rich so they can just do that. Oscar joins the army and becomes Marie-Antoinette's personal guard. Her and childhood best friend Andre are very close through out the series (he supports her throughout the many scandals that she has to deal with because she works for the royal family) and at the end of the series it is revealed that they are in love, but they are both killed in the war before they can actually get together. The dying before they can be together might fall into the buried straights category but they relationship also has really queer energy because throughout the series it becomes apparent that Oscar usually Does Not Vibe with only the gender she assigned at birth. She sometimes refers to herself as a woman, sometimes refers to herself as a man, but her attitude is usually basically 'I'm a man, I'm a woman, I'm both, I'm neither, stop asking'. So I think they should count as straightbait because we find out that Oscar is nonbinary and Andre loves her no matter what her gender is (and then they die before they can get together).

Legacy Powhatan - updated 4/21/2025

I'm still trying to figure out the family tree... which is not easy for me to do for some reason (even when I look for examples online). Anyway, I decided to at least show the bloodline (so far) regardless of the life stages they are in, but pretty much in order of when they were born in game (except for the first 2 sims which were my legacy founders). I didn't add the Sims that came into the legacy either through relationships/marriages or adoption, but I plan on figuring out how to organize all of this... at some point?

Anyway, keep reading to find out their names/family tree information and some other legacy tidbits

Names By Row

Row 1: Dakota Powhatan, Nalani Mahi'ai, Taro Powhatan, Lani Powhatan, Sunny Powhatan

Row 2: Sulani Powhatan, Dakota Pleasant, Delaney Pleasant, Makoto Pleasant, Calypso Pleasant

Row 4: Nataly Pleasant, Moana English Powhatan, Richmond Wright-Pleasant, Katori Wright-Pleasant, Tiana English Powhatan

Row 5: Selva English Powhatan, Dora English Powatan, Archie Rutledge

Vampires: Timothy, Rebeca, Delaney, Helga

Hybrids: Calypso (Mermaid + Vampire), Richmond (Mermaid + Plantsim)

---------

Notes:

Dakota Powhatan is the Legacy starter, made in CAS, and began the legacy in his Elder stage.

Nalani Mahi'ai made it into the legacy as my Legacy Co-Founder.

When Lani met Timothy he was a vampire, but she cured him before they had children. After one of their twin daughters ended up as a vampire, they didn't want to send her to Forgotten Hollow alone so Timothy allowed himself to be transformed into a vampire again by letting his cousin Lilith Vatore, turn him.

Rebeca was turned by Timothy after Lani sent his brother to Forgotten Hollow to notify him that her father had passed away and that her step-mother's plan had been to rid of him so she could be with her lover, Joe Goth. It was Rebeca's punishment to live an eternal life without the one she wanted the most, but she was unfortunately hunted by a vampire slayer anyway.

Timothy bonded with Grim therefore making him able to do the Grim's work, which is what has changed his physical appearance.

London and Gwen were meant be triplets with their sister Fiona, but were still born.

Judith Ward (Get Famous pack) has made it into the legacy by having a daughter with Makoto.

Sunny Powhatan, Andre English, and Sulani Powhatan are the only sims to have passed away as an Adult

Delaney Rutledge and Nataly Ward passed away as a Young Adult

Fiona Rutledge is the only Sim to have passed away as a teenager

[destinyc1020]

I know it’s early, but the only people I’ve seen on theme for the gala is Lewis Hamilton, Teyanna Taylor and Joey King. Coleman did a nod to Andre Leon Talley, but that is it

Lol yea they've been on theme from what I've seen. There are some that have terribly missed the mark, but that's EVERY Met Gala lol 😆 😄

I'm still eating my popcorn 🍿 on these looks lol. 🤭

I'll see what other looks we get tonight. 😉

Marilyn B. Coleman (March 23, 1934 - June 25, 2013) was a writer and award-winning actress on Broadway, television, and film. She grew up in Philadelphia.

One of her early highlights was entering local talent contests with her brother Fred, who accompanied her on the piano. In one competition, she won the Marion Anderson Award by signing the theme from Madam Butterfly in fluent Italian.

She embarked on an acting career at the Theatre of Living Arts under the direction of Andre Gregory.

PBS made a two-hour documentary film of her walking through the streets of Philadelphia talking to the community and dealing with the various gangs as they highlighted her singing. The documentary titled “Marilyn Coleman’s North Philadelphia” won the Silver Medallion Award.

She studied theatre with renowned director, the late Lloyd Richards, and made her New York Debut at the American Place Theatre in Five On The Black Hand Side, and The Fabulous Marie.

Her Broadway credits include: Ain’t Supposed to Die A Natural Death; What The Wine Sellers Buy, Don’t Get God Started, and Mule Bone. Off-Broadway she was among the early works of the Legendary Negro Ensemble Company in Ododo, The New Federal Theatre in For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf, and many others.

An award-winning actress, she received the L.A. Critics and Dramalogue Awards for her work in Eden. At the arena stage, in DC she won the Helen Hayes Award for Best Supporting Actress in Jar The Floor which toured in the US and London.

A few of her film and television credits include Looking For Mr. Good Bar, Meteor Man; The Five Heartbeats; CB-4, Menace II Society, Willie Dynamite, Good Times, White Shadow, The Love Boat, Vice Squad, and Designing Women.

She never forgot the community and she became active in writing, directing, and teaching theater arts to the youth in schools, workshops, and churches. A scholarship fund was established in her name at Bloomsburg University for children of color, studying the performing arts. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #womenhistorymonth
