While fiction can include fantastic world-building — or at the very least, an alternative view of real-world events — nonfiction gives us a glimpse into how the world actually works. What is our shared history? Where do we find our joy? And how do we sand down the rough edges of society so more people can thrive? Telling a true story, whether it’s rooted in personal experience or simply a passionate idea, is no easy task. Ultimately, it requires a willingness to take readers on a ride through history, be it personal, factual, or scientific. And though that can be intense, it can also be thrilling.

Family Pack #4
I’m happy to share some sims with you all today! In this post, you’ll find 12 households (40 sims total), each with their own stories and biographies. All of these sims have additional Everyday outfits, skills, bonus traits, Likes and Dislikes, sexual orientations, pronouns, family dynamics, and Lifestyles. You can find them all on the gallery under my Origin ID: TheLastAirSimmer or in the tray files linked under the cut! As always, feel free to tag me if you end up using them.
Abreu
A respected food critic, Maria’s opinion is highly valued by all as the towns’ baked good connoisseur. Her husband Joaquin, a renowned pianist, is no exception; he worships the ground she walks on. Together, they project their creative outlooks onto their sons. Santiago, the eldest and a romantic, has the full support of his parents and wants to become a professional wedding photographer. Even though young Rémy feels he didn’t inherit his parents’ imagination, he still wants to make them proud.
Naval
Aparna owned her own restaurant while raising her two girls alone. Hema was able to help out when she was old enough, allowing Aparna to find success and receive critical acclaim by publishing her own cookbook. Today, Hema is focusing on her engineering studies while trying to find love; she’s very smart and sincere, but a bit naive. Ridhi is chasing a riskier path; she wants to be a famous musician. And while Aparna hopes that this is just a phase, she supports her youngest daughter anyway.
Monaghan
As young parents, Stefan and Marianne sacrificed a lot. Stefan became a cop to support his family, but still gets caught up trying to relive his youth from time to time. Marianne longs for the day that she can quit her job at the local diner and become a singer. Soren feels pressure to please his parents, but really just want to play videogames all day while Tatum and Aria constantly bicker, not at all concerned with their parents’ feelings or the wellbeing of Hunter, who just wants attention.
Larson
Quite the jazz singer in his day, Clive is desperate to find ways to stay relevant in the ever-changing music scene. Fiona, longing for the authentic soul who serenaded her years ago, knows she can inspire him again; she’s stood by him through a lot. But until then, you can find the melancholy art critic drinking to yesteryear at the bar. Jade dropped out of college to pursue a career in social media (much to Fiona’s discontent) while Candice is following the artistic path her parents paved.
Agawa
Ever the class clown, Yuto knew that he had a knack for entertaining people. This was only confirmed after he went viral on Social Bunny for the first time! When he told his parents that he wanted to pursue a life in the public eye, they saw it as further evidence that he couldn’t take anything seriously. He makes a decent living streaming video games and his eccentric personality is pure internet gold. Though to be fair, he should probably be a bit cautious with what he says and does online.
Hollifield
As a teen, Whitney’s future looked bright. But she forfeited a lot of opportunities to pursue a whirlwind romance with a boy who had a dangerous edge. They were happy for a time, but it didn’t last and the only thing she kept from that relationship was her daughter Emma. She now works a lowly job in fast food while taking classes at Britechester, hoping to find a career in social media. Her days are busier as a working single mom, but Emma keeps herself entertained by befriending her neighbors.
Catton
Following the loss of her son to avoidable circumstances, Dottie found herself in the care of his two children. Filled with regret for not doing more for her son, the college professor watches the kids like a hawk! She’s keen on using her connections to better their lives. Temperamental Owen does well to make her proud with his grades, but he has an artsy side that he only shares with those closest to him. His little sister Bonnie would rather spend time making friends than studying though.
Qian
After founding a groundbreaking app, Shirong found a place among the company of the rich and powerful. His charming wife Meifing, quite the schmoozer at elite parties, is constantly looking for funding for her next big venture (while also being the go-to-girl for all the neighborhood gossip). Nuo chose to move home after grad school to save money, but is ready to leave and start her own law firm. Her younger brother Haoyu adds to her restlessness by barraging her with his antics.
Sullivan
Atticus’ dad Clifford, a retired veteran, supported his sons’ musical dreams fully, having raised him alone after his wife died. While roaming the world, Atticus met Elisa; a fashion guru with a fiery disposition. The pair had three children and Clifford moved in to help with the newborn. Like her dad, Lydia also wants to be an artist (whether if it’s for her love for acting or a desire to be in the spotlight remains to be seen) while Malicia, afraid of being unseen, finds relief in her friends.
Kingsley-Ramirez
Jaime and Paxton met/moved in together before they could actually get to know each other, both having been new to the city at the time with zero connections. They found themselves compatible not only as roommates, but eventually boyfriends as well! Jaime always puts others before himself; it shows in the passion he has for social justice causes he advocates for. Meanwhile, Pax works a parttime job at a small coffee shop, but is intent on putting himself through school to become a veterinarian.
Tanaka-Murdock
Nigel and Shannon met at Foxbury and developed feelings for each other during study sessions. Though Nigel was the only one to graduate, he admires Shannon for making the decision that was right for her. He enjoys being the breadwinner while Shannon follows her artistic instincts, though he wishes he had his wife’s free spirit. Shannon is quite hard on herself and works tirelessly until she makes something she’s proud of while their son Kason, while a quick learner, really just wants to play.
Miyake
Even if he’s never been the most social person, Kenzo is a loyal and fierce friend to those lucky enough to make it into his circle. A patron of the sciences, he cares deeply about precision and perfection. However, when it comes to raising his son Akira, he wants the boy to follow his own path, even if it’s not exactly the one he would choose for himself. Akira seems to be doing just that; far more sociable than his father, he never fails to leave a lasting impression on anyone he meets.

Elena Isn't Sitting Around Telling Sad Stories of the Deaths of Kings. She's Burning Shit Down
There's a trend in adult fantasy lately of mixing magic and technology and religion in some SUPER interesting ways. I loved it in Fonda Lee's Green Bone Saga, NE Davenport's The Blood Trials, and now in Aparna Verma's The Phoenix King. Quite honestly, I was sold by the Indian-inspired world with morally grey protagonists and firebending, so finding out that there was tech mixing with magic here too was a nice bonus. This book also does one of my favorite things ever, and includes some really stunning character art in the inner cover...of a PAPERBACK. Publishers: More of that, please. I'm going to do my best to avoid spoilers below, because honestly I think more people should read and love this book and it's rich, complex world, phenomenal characters, deliberate pacing, and lovely writing. Let's talk The Phoenix King.
The world of Verma's debut novel explodes onto the pages fully formed, delightfully complex, and on the verge if shattering. Between the Raveni and Jantari enmity, the Ahrohassain twining into those cracks and applying pressure and murder in equal measures, and some twisted history with gods and fire magic, protagonist and heir to Ravence's throne Elena has her work cut out for her.
Elena is the heir to a kingdom and religion that expect her, like their Phoenix, to control fire. The only problem is that our clever, stubborn, ruthless girl cannot, and her father is no help.
Leo, the current king, is grappling with geopolitical machinations, single-parenthood, grief, possibly some low-key madness, and the shattering conflict of wanting his daughter to be a strong queen and maybe not wanting to give up his power. And despite his desperate bids to leave Elena a stable kingdom, bringing in Samson, the landless king with an army, for a political marriage to Elena, just sets everything on the final downward spiral.
And that's before we remember that we have one more wild card in play: Yassen Knight. (Literally it took me this whole book to train myself out of going, "Yassen? As in Gregorovich???" So thanks for nothing there, Anthony Horowitz...) Yassen has all the world-weariness of a soldier who doesn't understand how he is still alive in a world that keeps dragging him back to hell no matter how many times he hears "just one last mission..."
Elena and Yassen's connection is immediate, but their relationship is best described as a slow burn. The parts of each of them that are wounded recognize each other, but it takes their brains a while to catch up.
Generally speaking, the worldbuikdig and character work are the key reasons to read this book. Both are beautifully done independently, and Verma takes it to the next level by having each inform and influence the other. I haven't seen worldbuilding this quietly understated but beautifully intricate in a while, and that background for some genuinely complex characters is just a stunning combination.
I have more to say about this book, but most of it involves fangirling over massive spoilers, so I will leave you for now with a five-star rating and a strong recommendation to read this incredible book. One can only hope that the next two books of the trilogy come out SOON!

[Fan Art: Elena Ravence & Yassen Knight from The Phoenix King by Aparna Verma]
This was the first piece I finished in January and back then, the one thing I didn’t really like about it back then was the skin. So, I decided to touch up this piece, especially the skin, the other day!
