mini dedication essay to black simmers and ts4 creators below! pls read if you have the chance! <3

this edit is a small homage to afrofuturism and the various unique black hairstyles (and especially the black creators of most of these hairs) that i have downloaded and admired over the years! some of these are old and some of these are new.

to me, afrofuturism means constantly honoring/reclaiming/challenging the past while constantly creating/dreaming of a better society/world/future. a society/world/future that embraces and empowers all of our differences, ingenuity, aspirations, and unique lived/cultural experiences. a society/world/future that does not limit us through the various systems of marginalization and oppression (racism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, sexism, xenophobia, ableism, classism, colorism, etc.) that often affects how we, as black people, live today.

blackness is so diverse and intricate yet it's always been a struggle to find my culture within a game that's known for being so limiting, bland, and extremely eurocentric when it comes to hairstyles, clothing, food traditions/events, etc. black simmers have always had to figure out how to make this game more inclusive and make it resemble either more like how our ancestors lived, how our current lives are, or how we would want our lives (and even our children's lives) to look like in the future no matter how dystopian the real world look and feel now. fortunately, these hairs and their uniqueness bring a huge sense of culture and style to this game. they have always inspired me and made me feel extremely proud to a part of the lovely african diaspora (and the ever-growing black simmer community).

in a way, being a black simmer and cc creator usually means that we are often digitally creating our own worlds as afrofuturists to varying degrees (whether we know it or not) every time we open our game, make our sims, make houses, and/or make black cultural cc. also, now i know that cc making is not easy to do and is extremely time-consuming so this post is also just me giving all black cc creators especially those who create for free their well-deserved flowers! here are some other black cc creators who created cc that have greatly impacted my game since i first started playing sims 4: @/leeleesims1 @/simtric @/hi-land @/yuyulie @/sims4bradshaw @/ebonixsims @/xmiramira @/sheabuttyr @/qwertysims @/oplerims @/sleepingsims @/shespeakssimlish and so many more im forgetting probably (im too shy rn to tag ppl but i greatly appreciate y’all fr i hope y’all telepathically get this message somehow 😭).

last but not least, i am hoping that this inspires somebody to keep creating or start creating regardless of what they think their skill level is! somebody will absolutely fall in love with your work and/or your art/work will 100% change someone's game forever <333

And you wanted to dance So I asked you to dance But fear is in your soul Some people call it a one-night stand But we can call it paradise.

Also, how do you keep track of those who change their url regularly? Some of my mutuals have been the same for years and years, and some change it up every couple of months; how do you navigate that?

Searching "tattoo" yielded nothing so asking; how do you feel about your work being tattooed? I.e. Miku leek cheeks

And if you are positively inclined, what would be an acceptable tipping minimum? /gen

💓

for the tattoo question, go ahead! as i’ve said, any art on here is free to use however you like with credit (as long as you’re not monetising the work itself lol)

as for the tipping……honestly i don’t really care about tips too much, you tip whatever you think is fitting and what you can afford

I’m back with more how familiar the danger art <33 once again if you haven’t read this au series (by @peachblossom-odyssey), you totally should. it’s an absolute delight. this is a scene from the latest installment, the spider that held a star! since it’s raining basically the whole time I decided to work just in blue, and I think it turned out pretty well!! (though drawing ambrosius in blue was a bit of a crazy time fjdkjdngkg)
