An actual dream i had a few years ago, and was wise enough to write down. Easily one of the most coherent and narratively sound dreams ive ever had. Took me a while to locate it again but here it is, under the cut.

If anyone wants to adopt this and write off it be my guest. Just let me know and credit me appropriately... and link me to it so i can read it :3

In the dream i was a warrior by the name "Valora" a powerful knight who vanquished all her foes with the aid of her party (a healer, a ranger, and a fire mage)

The one thing that set us apart from the other parties was our ability to "respawn" with the use of a soul amulet, granted to us by our healers god, that Valora kept with her (she held the amulet because she was the only party member who never died).

This allowed us to grow in strength above all others, and eventually we gained the attention of the royal family, who revealed to us that we were going to war with the "Dark Lord Valucien". A powerful sorcerer who used an army of mind-controlled knights to fight his war.

---Time-skip to the boss battle---

We made our way into Dark Lord Valucien's throne room, battered and battle-ready we faced off against our foe, and so began a battle that would be told about in legends.

Spells were slung, arrows fired, swords and axes clanged against armor and flesh.

And then the dark lord did something truly vile...

...He killed our healer...

This was enough to send me into a rage and i furiously attacked him.

The healer respawned of course, in a small town in the countryside. But seeing her die was still traumatic so i went in swinging.

I managed to get the sorcerer to within an inch of his life, when he noticed the soul amulet around Valora's neck, and he destroyed it... Though as he did so i thrust my greatsword into his chest... Just as he planted a poison dagger in mine.

I died there in the arms of my comrades, victorious, and I awoke in what was basically a character select screen.

God told me that i was such a great hero that he offered me a chance at another life. I asked to be the person I was and was told that, unless someone cast a revival spell on me, was not possible. So i chose a to be a druid, I made a oath to revive my old self so I could return to my old life... And awoke in the same countryside town that we had our respawn set at.

A few months later I heard rumor that the remaining hero's were on there way into the countryside to investigate tales of a new druid in the nearby forest. And so I prepared my forest home for visitors, I had some explaining to do, and some old friends to meet.

Then I woke up

the name post keeps crossing my dash, and the devil is in my ear telling me to just continually rb it until I explain everyone's names, but that would take... many 30-tag rbs to do, which is Not Ideal 😅 so I decided I would Actually make that readmore post about everyone!! plus I am waiting for my mopped floors to dry- this is a good pastime :')

Since I covered the Big Four here, I'll continue on with everyone else below! I’ve got a few different worldstates, and it’s difficult to tell who is what from name alone, so I’ll try to organize this into their relation to my bigger characters.

MAIN WORLDSTATE

Thalis-adjacent

Rumeysa, Thalis’ aunt and Soris + Shianni’s mother, was... somehow... named after stars?? I distinctly remember thinking Cyrion’s name reminded me of Sirius, and that I’d be able to find a name for his sister by traipsing through its Wikipedia page... From what I can tell, my thought process was Canis Major = greater dog = Cyrion, Canis Minor = lesser dog = his little sister. One of the stars in Canis Minor is called Gomeisa, which is where the “meysa” part of her name came from... As for the “ru”, at this point I truly can’t remember 🙈🙈 Maybe I just thought it sounded nice?? In any case, while I was trying to remember how this name came to be, I discovered Rumeysa is a real name, which is awesome! I always loved the sound of it. <3

Dog the Dog’s name is a total joke, beginning with my sister and I going “would that be fucked up or what” during our first playthrough of the game. The mabari’s name was Dog as in dog back then, but when I played through as Thalis, it became Dog as in Doug. The in-universe explanation is that this name Also comes from a character in one of Adaia’s shows. The entire party assumes the mabari’s name is Doug, so when Thalis writes it as Dog for the first time, everyone almost blows a gasket.

Liane, Soris and Valora’s daughter, has a pretty in-universe name. She’s born shortly after the Tabrises and co. infiltrate Tevinter to retrieve all of the trafficked elves from Denerim and miraculously succeed in doing so, bringing a few extra people home with them, too! She’s born after Soris and Valora renew their vows, and things begin to calm down in Ferelden (as much as things Can calm down in Ferelden after the Blight...) For the Tabris family, Liane is like the light at the end of the tunnel or the sun peeking out after a nasty storm, so her name relates back to that! Plus, it has the “ia” phonetic present in so many elven names, ie Shianni, Arianni, Briala... so I liked it very much :]

Occasio Arainai was named in a similar manner to Thalis- I didn't know where to start, so I defaulted to Greek mythology 🏃🏻‍♀️ Originally, his name was going to be Caerus, after the god of opportunity, since I felt that was befitting of a Crow 🐳 But Caerus never totally fit him, so I switched it to the Roman equivalent, Occasio. imo this rolled off the tongue better and fit his Vint origins more. In-universe, Occasio is named so because his mother, a Crow herself, wanted him to have a better, luckier life than she did. She and Clementina faked his death and Clementina snuck him away in the dead of night- for a few years, he flew under the Crow’s radar, but his luck ran out quickly when House Arainai found him. Occasio is always around at the most ‘opportune’ time, but whether these times are opportune for him or for others changes on the flip of a coin.

Clementina Arainai's name was actually originally Elea, kind of in step with Occasio! Clementina's Thing was that she was never supposed to be a Crow, and originally I wanted her name to reflect this- thus she was named for mercy and compassion. After a while, I came to the same conclusion as I did with Caerus- that I didn't want my Crows to have Greek names, so I decided to change it. Part of Clementina's backstory is that her parents are devout Andrastians, so I figured maybe they'd name her after one of the Divines, and Clemence stuck out to me (tbh I can't remember if I was trying to keep that tie to mercy in her name, or if I just like the name Clemence 🙈🙈🙈), but it didn't feel Antivan, so then I was going to go with Clementia? But her parents Also ran a successful winery before their assassination, so I was like... do I get silly goofy with that.. do I 👁️👁️ so Clementia became Clementina, after the citrus 🤪 Her name is kind of long and unwieldy, so I like to imagine she has many nicknames amongst the Crows- Clem, Menti, Tina, etc etc. However, in reverse of Zevran, it's normally the people she's Not Actually That Close With that use those nicknames. Occasio always refers to her as Clementina. Zevran, Taliesen, and Rinna flipflop on it, just because they know the nicknames annoy her 🤪

Wardens

Iori Surana's name is a very in-universe 🥺 name, meant to evoke the idea of a peaceful retreat. I like the idea of their parents naming them that because Iori was their retreat from a crazy world. Unfortunately for Iori, I think the rest of their life after their magic flares up is the furthest thing from a peaceful retreat. 💀

Arrecina’s name derives from Arrecina Tertulla- there’s no thematic or genuine connection between the two, I was just going through the wives of various Roman emperors and thought the name fucked super hard. 😤🤘🏻 Important to note is that Arrecina is a nomen, so it’s not really a Proper name, but. alas.. we yee and we haw in these woods partner 🤠

Arrecina’s younger sister, Luminaria, gets her name from the word luminare, reflecting their parents’ wishes that she would bring light upon the family, as it was obvious she was a mage at birth. Arrecina and the other Vint Wardens get a laugh out of her name, because it can also mean lamp. This annoys her until everyone’s torches burn out in a cave and she uses her magic to cast light- then everyone is pogging and she takes on the nickname Lumi the Lamp with a sense of pride. (With the new group of Wardens, I really wanted to capture the silliness that the Wardens at Soldier’s Peak had with their names)

Ruga the Rogue’s name derives from Spurius Carvilius Ruga, who invented the letter G. I don’t remember how precisely I came to Ruga, as I remember that I wanted to name him after a rebel slave alongside one of his fellow Wardens. (I think his name was originally going to be Cleon?) Maybe I stumbled upon Ruga and ran with it Solely Because it reminded me of the word rogue, and Ruga the Rogue would be a fun name for someone to have...

Castus the Mountain Goat’s name is the one that derives from a rebel slave: Castus, who was one of the leaders in the Third Servile War! In a similar nature to Lumi, the Fereldans get a hoot out of his name because he’s Castus and he casts spells, heehee hoohoo. He never gets a nickname based off of this, though, because he goes crazy once he learns how to use force magic + uses it to get himself into all sorts of mad positions, just like mountain goats. :]

Caecilius’ name is derived from the Caecilius in my old Latin textbook, CLC. 🙈🙈 I know he was a real person, but my group in class used to clown on him so much that he honestly took on a life of his own. Since I was taking a lot of Roman names for my Vints, I knew I HAD to have a Caecilius. Just like CLC Caecilius, Caecilius the Warden est in horto.

The reasoning behind Seia’s name escapes me right now </3 I wish I wrote these down as I went, but alas :[

Lucia’s name was taken from my now quasi-existent Hawke, the first one I ever played DA2 with. 😅 The character didn’t stick, but I liked her name too much to do away with it, so I gave it to one of my Wardens instead. :D

Arlavi!!! One of the guides for elven names I was following mentioned that it would not be unusual for city elves to have names that were Elvhen, although something that was a mix of Elvhen and Trade would be more common. I really liked the idea of a city elf with an Elvhen name coming into the Wardens and coming into contact with Dalish elves, having a ‼‼👁👁👉🏻👈🏻👁👁‼‼ moment because of their name, and learning more about Dalish culture as a result. Arlavi became this elf- I used Katie’s Best Guess at Elvhen and pieced together arla (home) with vi (way), thus making her name something like the way home. (Originally her name was Arlaviera, which is roughly to dream of the way home, but I thought that was too long and split the name into two. Arlavi is one character and Viera is another :D) In-universe, Arlavi is a name that’s been passed down her family for generations.

Jenkins is named after... well.. you guessed it, Leeroy Jenkins. I needed some Wardens that died at Adamant and the name seemed to fit well for that purpose. 😶😔🤘🏻

Warden-Recruit Daniels is not actually a Warden-Recruit, but I like to imagine he spent so long as one that the name stuck even after he survived the Joining. 😭😆 I needed a straight man to Jenkins’ silly man, and the name Daniels is so painfully normal and regular that it stuck.

Yves’ name comes from Yves Saint-Lauren, just because I really like how it sounds. :] Additionally, I like the way Yves and Liselle flows off the tongue!

Ser Lochlann’s name came from a Pinterest caption referring to someone whose nickname was Lochie... Something about that nickname really struck me (I am a big fan of the Wardens having silly/endearing nicknames for each other, as you might have guessed 🙈🙈), so I went digging for a name that it could stem from. As I did that, I also developed his background, deciding that he was a knight from West Hills who had joined the Wardens to avenge his fellow men. This was kind of melancholy, so I wanted a melancholy name to match it and something about Lochlann seemed so lonely to me that I went with it.

I cannot claim any ownership over Dellie’s name- that is 100% the work of the Sims 4 name randomizer button 😆😆😆 Slowly, I’ve been making the Fereldan Wardens in the Sims (and at some point, if I’m brave enough, I’m gonna try to build Vigil’s Keep..), and whenever I make a new person, I always download 500MB of CC 🙈 95% of the CC I download doesn’t end up suiting anyone, so I always put all of that CC onto a throwaway Sim so that I can look at their applied CC in the tray importer and take it out easier... The name randomizer decided to name this throwaway Sim Dellie, which is funny because it could be short for Delete. 🥺😆 For the longest time, she wasn’t an actual Sim or Warden I was going to use, but she’s been around for so long that I decided to make her one... however, my fondness of her didn’t save her from being killed off at Adamant. 🕴 I needed more dead Wardens, and who better for that than Dellie, short for Delete! 💀

Thúy marks a point in which I decided I should have more Vietnamese characters, as I am partially Viet! Her name means water, but I forget if the meaning had importance to me or if I went with it because I really liked the way it sounds..

I found Niall’s name on a website about Irish names and really liked it, so I gave it to one of my Wardens. :] It was long after the fact that I remembered there’s a mage named Niall, but his name is pronounced Ny’all iirc so 🤪🤠 I decided Warden Niall could stay. He’s supposed to be middle-aged man besties with Ser Lochlann, and I really enjoy the way Niall and Lochie sounds 😆

Esteban-adjacent

Booford the Mabari’s name is a play on Beauford and, of course, the word boof. Tbh it was the first name that came to me when you had to name Hawke’s mabari- every know and then, I waffle on whether I want to change it because idrk how well it fits Esteban and his family... Although it is a comical thought that he and the twins named him Booford to make fun of some templar named Beauford. :’)

Aleida Amell... her name drives me insane because I feel like there was Something to her name, but I can’t remember what. 😭😭 I think I went with a Dutch name because the only person I could find irl who had the name Revka was an author, Revka Bijl.

Neima Trevelyan... Okay so truly, Neima is only in this category because she’s a senior enchanter at the Gallows throughout DA2 and also somewhat tied to Aleida (although she’s more closely narratively related to Iori). Anyhow her name! I wanted a name that felt a little older and stabler than my other Inquisitors, as Neima weathers Many Different Storms. I ran across the name on some post here, and it felt really timeless, so I decided to run with it. :]

Corimae-adjacent

Asulahn(dir?), Corimae’s twin brother and the First of Clan Lavellan, is also trans and chose his name for himself. :] It’s comprised of assan, meaning arrow, and sulahn, meaning hope. In my head, this evokes the idea of him flying through the air, refreshed with the revelation of his identity. I also thought it fit his role as First and, during Inquisition, stand-in Keeper. Like an arrow, he has a set path/goal/purpose, but it is one that inspires him and inspires others. I go back and forth about whether his name is Asulahn or Asulahn’dir because I feel like Asulahn sounds a bit too much like Aslan, but imo Asulahn’dir is too long (and I feel like the dir does not contribute enough conceptually to justify adding it officially 😔)

Viera, the former First of Clan Lavellan and Asulahn’s fiancee (wife? I can’t remember...), has the second half of Arlavi’s chopped name. Going off of Katie’s Best Guess, her name would mean something like the path of dreams. When it comes to the Dalish, I feel like the word dreams is very loaded- there’s literal dreams, but there’s also the dream of being one united people again, of unearthing more of Elvhen culture, so forth and so on. So, I feel like her name suits her in both of her roles: when she is a First, she bears the path of dreams in that she is responsible for preserving Elvhen culture and knowledge and guiding her clan through life. When she steps down from this, it is to learn more about the ways of arcane warriors, similarly to Cillian. In this pursuit, the meaning of her way becomes more literal- she is following a dream and trying to unearth something that was lost to the Dalish. In worldstates where she is the Inquisitor, the name bears a whole new weight for her.

Warden Girl Gang Worldstate

Samahla Mahariel’s name is derived from samahl, laughter, and -ala, which Katie noted as a suffix that meant a large number. Thus, Samahla’s name means much laughter. However, Katie and Dalishious both also have ala/alas as meaning earth, which would change the meaning to like... laughter of the earth which OUGH.... pov you are a dalish parent about to give your child THE most tender name ever 😭😭😭😭 I really like the latter, but both work well for her!!

Samahla’s younger sister, Iranehn, has a similar name, although its construction is... dubious... It’s comprised of the words iras, where, and nehn, joy! Literally, it means “where joy”, but I like to imagine there’s like.. an existential “is” somehow thrown in there, so that it becomes “Where joy is”- as if joy just lived inside of Iranenh. There are Definitely better ways to construct this meaning, but I really enjoy how Iranenh sounds so 🥺😭😭 at least for now, it is too late to change it. Iranehn is trans like Corimae and Asulahn (for me, Dragon Age is like.. how many trans elves can I sneak in!!), but she keeps her name because it is one of the few things she has left of her parents. Additionally, she feels that she fully realizes the meaning of her name during her transition!

Janna Amell.... whoo girl this one, I got silly here. When I first made Janna, all I knew for certain was that she was a 🥀 Blood Mage 🥀 and that she had an uncertain friendship with Samahla because she was worried Samahla would be disturbed by her blood magic. I wanted to lean into the spooky evil blood mage exterior (that hides a ✨😁✌🏻✨ interior lol), so I decided to base her name off of Faust! Her grandfather, Fausten Amell, probably had some influence in this naming direction too... I was super invested in the Amell family when I made Janna. XD So anyhow! Janna’s name draws from Faust, Johann becoming Johanna and then getting simplified to Janna. :] Her siblings are also all named after characters related to the myth, although with a German or Dutch spin on them. Her eldest brother, Valentin, is named after Goethe’s Valentin; Eline after Helen of Troy, who appears in Marlowe’s take; Christoph after Faust’s famulus; and Grete after Goethe’s Margarete/Gretchen. Of course, the dynamics between all these characters + Janna and her siblings do not match up, I just thought the links between their names and Fausten would be a fun thing for someone to catch onto. >:]

Elara’lath Surana’s name is comprised of el, “our”, ara “journey”( < < per Katie), and lath “love” (Katie + Dalishious)- thus, our journey of love. She is the daughter of a Dalish envoy and an Orlesian half-elf who couldn’t be together because her father was too old to leave the city he’d spent his whole life in. Thus, I like to imagine that Elara’lath’s name is a testament to or a promise of their love- although her parents’ paths are parallel more often than not, here is their daughter, something they would not have had their paths never crossed! And it will be their daughter that one day brings their paths back together. 🥺 Moving on from her first name... man there’s a lot that goes on with Elara’lath and names... First, Surana is her surname because it is the name of her father’s clan and her mother wanted it to be a part of her identity, even if she and mother could not join the clan. Despite the care put into her name, I think Elara’lath’s mother was nervous about her having a Dalish name while they lived in Orlais, so she frequently called her Ellie. This was fine coming from her mother, but others would call her Ellie too, assuming it was her name, and Elara’lath hated this. When she was taken into the Circle, she abandoned the nickname forever, and would have gone by Elara’lath if people didn’t trip over it. Most of the people at Kinloch call her Surana, save for those very close to her, like Janna and Jowan. She begins using her first name regularly after Samahla comes to save her and Anders from Kinloch’s dungeons; from then on, she is adamant that everyone uses her name. When she is reunited with her family and eventually begins dating Merrill, they begin to call her El’lath, which she.... permits.. although she grumbles about it every now and then 😆

Anqing Cousland’s name is made up of the characters 安 and 晴, which together imply harboring clear weather? Which I thought was befitting a daughter of the Seawolf, of the teyrn of Highever, of a post-war Ferelden. I think it ties really well into her character overall- she helps Oriana and Oren weather the storm that was Howe’s siege, she helps the people of Ferelden weather the Blight, and she helps Anora weather the Everything after the Blight. Anqing is a rock for many around her, and I think this reliability is in part due to her name.

Kien Tabris’ name, 堅, means enduring! Her parents were Night Elves during the war, and I think they knew their daughter would Need to be enduring in the aftermath of it all.. and girl.. between the burning of Denerim’s alienage, the wedding gone awry, the Blight.... they were onto something 😳😳😳😳🆘 Her enduring nature gets her through all of this And the challenges that come with being the bann of Denerim’s alienage afterwards.

Truthfully I am not a big dwarf-player, so I’m not really familiar with Brosca and Aeducan. Brosca’s name at the moment is Miele because I like the sound of it, but everyone else has a fair amount of thought put into their names, so I’ll probably change it. 😷 Aeducan’s name is currently Eram (he is the only guy in WGG, bless his heart 😭😭) and I have NO recollection of where I got the name (maybe I stole it from the Awakening dwarf WC?), but I really like it for him. It has a princely ring to it, you know? :]

Isaura Hawke’s name is pretty similar to Miele’s, nothing thematically special behind it, I just liked it. :D

Misc

Tony Hawke’s name is. by far. the most jokey one here. It is, of course, riffing off of the skater Tony Hawk- just like the real guy, nobody recognizes Tony outside of the hyperspecific context he was made legendary for. If you encounter Tony Hawke at a bar in the Free Marches, you will have No Idea that is the Champion of Kirkwall. pure dude energies emanating off of tony <3

#so um my floors are dry now 😅😅😅 this took... many hours to write <3 💀#do NOT open this if you dont want to get blasted with a giant tome.. i wrote so much 💀#there were a few people i left out ie raveena's family/ occasio's mom/ clemetina's parents but alas #the first one i'm just too tired to explain rn and the latter two i'm just not 100% on 😵#OH and i also forgot! delilah's son tobias (i also named her husband but i forgot to write his name down 😳 it's in the sims tho...)#i named the leetle howe tobias because it's just. the MOST little guy name ever. like i am going to name my own child tobias one day because #it's just the most chill little dude name to ever exist... however this does NOT mean tobias howe is a chill little dude.. he grows up in #travelling distance of vigil's keep and his Cool Uncle Nathaniel.. and HCU Nathaniel's Super Cool Warden Friends... they teach him and liane #all sorts of crazy shit 😆😆 it drives delilah and valora crazy XD #sriracha.txt #it would be Too Much to tag this with every character so ig i'm making the #sarah's meta #tag? let's get it girlies 🤪🤪🤪

biography.

a middle child belonging to christopher and imogen carmichael - two stanford professors. christopher specialized in british literature whilst imogen specialized in the classics. hence the name.

the order of siblings goes as such: lysander, elektra, juno, philomena, and twins orion & valora. the deal was that everybody had a greek (or in juno’s case, roman) first name and a middle name inspired by a piece of british literature circa 1800s and under. a family of nerds, if you will.

so, clearly - right off the bat, their parents are … eccentric. they’re both in love with their respected topic, and with each other, and with their kids. the carmichael family is a happy family.

they each have their own quirks and whatnot - though philly’s always been particularly dreamy - even as a child, she’d spend hours watching clouds or caterpillars or the leaves blow in the wind rather than play with other kids. she wasn’t a shy kid - she just had her own interests.

hardship doesn’t hit the family until philomena is five and starts having splitting headaches. they’re slow at first - but as soon as she’s seeing spots and unable to walk in a straight line, doctor appointments are made.

cancer tw // it doesn’t take long for them to discover the tumor, though the official diagnosis of malignant ependymoma comes a month later.

it’s grade ii but slow-moving, small enough to not be as much of a threat as worried, but big enough where removal is necessary. philomena earns a scar and brings it in for show-and-tell. for two months afterwards, philly’s at radiotherapy monday through friday.

they’re lucky - philomena’s considered cancer-free by the next year. she’s babied at first - handled delicately, as if she could break if touched - but with five other children … it doesn’t last for too long. end of cancer tw //

and life continues as normal.

her personality doesn’t shift much over the next few years - she’s awfully independent for a kid, and awfully quiet - when she speaks it’s about faeries and bigfoot, about how the sky is so blue and if you listen quietly, you can hear the leaves whisper their secrets to each other. this is not odd.

she’s close to all her siblings, but she idolizes her older sister - elektra. elektra’s six years older and dyes her hair whatever colors she wants. elektra bought a knife off a seedy guy downtown. elektra threw away all of her heels and renounced god. elektra is god. her music is loud but it’s not heavy - it’s florence and the machine.

they’re opposites - elektra’s boisterous and feels loudly, philomena’s softer and feels…less. when elektra sneaks out, philomena keeps watch. they are a duo.

philomena is smart - but she’s fifteen and hates school. hates sitting inside all day. hates the same routine - day after day - it’s all the same. her parents’ routine is the same, philly feels contained and she wants to live.

elektra’s twenty-one and just bought a brand new spanking (used but not falling apart) 19-something volkswagen … van - using her entire savings account. she says she’s tired of routine, she’s leaving the next day.

naturally, philomena stows away in the back and isn’t discovered until they’re two states away and she’s got to pee. elektra nearly crashes the van in shock.

it’s an argument - philomena vs. elektra, then them vs. their parents, then their parents vs. the school, the state - it’s an ordeal. philomena switches to an online program in the end.

it hurts christopher and imogen - lysander’s not having any of their nonsense, juno’s betrayed and alone - the twins are twins. in the end, it’s alright. the carmichael family is a happy family.

philomena and elektra take their time - it’s not a road trip, it’s their new life, permanently on the road. they stop and explore often - they do odd jobs in whatever town they settle in. they dine-n-dash, they shoplift. they survive in their own way.

during particularly desperate times, they two resorted to identity theft & credit fraud - getting away with it only by ditching the cards once they’ve made it out of state.

she drops out of high school officially when she’s seventeen - they have to drive all the way back to california to deal with the wrath of their parents and to deal with paperwork, but it’s done. philomena doesn’t know what path she wants in life - but it’s not that.

depersonalization / derealization tw // it’s during this time that the episodes occur - philomena’s outside her body, philomena’s wrapped in cotton, her memories are not her own. she’s looking in the mirror and she doesn’t recognize herself. they take shelter in a city for six months, long enough for her brand spankin’ new therapist to figure out what’s wrong with her. she’s diagnosed with depersonalization / derealization disorder - they think it’s stress. philomena doesn’t get stressed. they think it’s trauma. she laughs - she never laughs. depersonalization / derealization end of tw //

death, decay. maggots tw // there is trauma though, deep-rooted but somewhere inside - you just have to look for it.

you. just. have. to. look. for. it. look for it. look for it. look for it look for it look -

you were ten and she was thirteen, an off-trail hike in familiar woods in a familiar town, safe and familiar. it was your idea, to stray from the carved out paths, down creeks and up hills and round, and round again. you’re the one who spotted the scarf first, sticking up from the dirt and dancing in the wind like the beginning of reincarnation. it was not reincarnation, it was discovery. it was ruin. with curiosity drawn, you skidded down - with compliance, followed juno, followed your sister - clumsy in her steps and tumbling down quicker than you. you saw the corpse, but juno felt it. decaying flesh and maggot. end of death, decay, maggots tw //

and she left juno, just like that - just five years later, when juno had finally gone to the end of her wits. philly up and left. abandoned her.

philomena and elektra leave the city after that therapy session. they do not return. she’s always been good at hiding her secrets.

after ending up with warrants from their arrest in florida (after running from the law in texas), philly and elektra have wound up at irving <3 partially hiding from the law and partially bcos their trusty van’s broken down and they haven’t got the money to fix her up yet.

personality & facts.

she’s quiet but she’s confident - her voice sounds like rustling leaves, if leaves smoked a pack of cigarettes a day.

often underestimated - philly’s petite and looks like she’d fall over if a plastic bag blew too close to her. she’s independent - for the most part. elektra is the only person philly takes orders from.

has always been considered odd - weird, strange. still talks about the trees as if they’re listening, as if they’re old friends. she’s vague and doesn’t elaborate on the things she says.

believes in pretty much any superstition you throw her way. luck is very important to her. if you ask her if the earth is flat, she’ll say probably. believes strongly in bigfoot and the lochness monster. has personally seen aliens, and loves ghosts almost more than herself.

she can be amusing - whether you ‘get’ her or not, her outlook is often bright - she talks about the negatives the same way she talks about the positives. can be seen as naive or gullible, but she’s plenty smart. even if half of her education has come directly from google.

philly doesn’t laugh. a smile, yes - often, in fact - not always reaching her ears, or bearing teeth - but these are not indicators of her happiness. philly is consistently content. she thinks many things are funny - she still will not laugh.

her voice is often monotonous - she doesn’t sound dreary, she sounds far-away. her voice carries. her emotions are often unknown to others.

is apathetic in most situations. she’s hard to bother - she’s incredibly patient and enjoys the company of most - tolerates them at the very least. it’s hard for her to express her emotions, because she feels them so little that it’s very nearly not worth it. her affection is not verbal - it’s small touches and gestures of kindness, love in her own way.

is a fan of knock-knock jokes and bad puns. she won’t crack a smile while telling you them, nor does she expect you to laugh. she just enjoys them.

she owns a motorola razr covered in puffy stickers - hasn’t ever had a smartphone. she’s a fan of emoticons. her favorite is :o)

has a lot of bruises and scratches and scars - she’s often getting herself into pickles. there are always, at the very minimum, three bandaids on each hand.

she has insomnia, so she’s awake often. is often seen wandering town - even when she shouldn’t be, even when it might be dangerous. her intuition is delayed. when she does sleep - her dreams are vivid and fantastical.

keeps a box of memories - sentimental bits and pieces she’s picked up over the last few years. there are a lot of buttons and postcards, but any teeny tiny object will do.

her style changes every week - most, if not all, of her clothes are thrifted. one week she’s baby spice and the next she’s lydia deetz. she combines pieces from different styles often - she looks like a barbie clothed by a child. she feels most comfortable like this.

will either patch-up the clothes that get too worn or reuse them in some way. sometimes donates the clothes she gets tired off - isn’t minimalistic, but she’s learned to keep only a small amount of possessions.

the only consistency is her lucky ribbon - it’s pastel yellow and silky and as thin as a shoelace. she ties it onto her outfit of the day, everyday. if she loses it, she’s lost. elektra has a matching ribbon.

has no problem with minor theft - she only takes bare minimum, puts herself and elektra first and that’s how it’s always been.

currently living in florence, their van, with her sister elektra <3 currently residing in lilac ridge.

they used to live in motels on the occasion, the cheapest room, and more often than not they’d both go home with strangers for a comfier bed and a hotter shower.

it was a common occurrence - she didn’t sleep with them - but somehow, she weaseled her way into their homes anyway. has come out mostly unscathed, on most occasions. this has been a practice ever since they’ve been on the road.

really, truly - has not slept with anybody, had her first kiss at thirteen with a frog. this doesn’t bother her. (smirks at leo)

will consume anything you put in front of her - isn’t picky.

listens to whatever they’ve picked up along the way but she likes instrumentals the best. her second favorite genre is 1990′s and 2000′s top hits. they’re nostalgic for her. third favorites? florence, of course. fleetwood mac. the bird and the bee.

loves storms - will go out in the rain and will risk her life for it.

owns a pair of roller-skates and is often skating rather than walking. unless she’s on grass - then she’s walking barefoot.

has many hobbies, and gets bored of them often. her favorite hobby is welding. she’s not certified.

also, juggling.

also, accordion.

the kind of girl who’ll do any job you give her. odd jobs are her favorite jobs. babysitting is her least favorite - but she does it anyway. has lost children before. have they ever been found? not by philly.

dyes her hair blonde often and cuts her own hair - bangs included - finds it cathartic, likes the itchiness of bleach.

everything she does is often in pursuit of feeling free, alive, and meaningful.

( like her frequent visits to the woods, late at night when the moon is high and full. it’s freeing to dance around a fire, stark naked in the cold. builds immunity )

comes and goes wherever she pleases, nothing & nobody can stop her (besides elektra).

has a certain knack for getting animals to like her. has too many ‘pet’ rats that reside with her, alongside a baby raccoon & a few crow pals. has a new animal companion everyday, but she doesn’t contain them or force them to stay.

wanted plots.

speaking through my third eye ... ;; philly is new in town n shes very strange. constantly lives in a state in which she does not exist (at least on the same plane). this is her harassing the locals. this is her slipping thru their fingertips as they attempt 2 understand her. they get close smtms bt philly jst. whisks herself away.

hollows of our eyelids ... ;; perhaps there is smbdy jst as strange as philly. i’m out here calling fr all the weirdos. lets be friends. lets hv philly n co go on adventures n discover horrible sites n uncover ancient secrets tht lie deep below irving. mayb nt tht. bt im jst saying. this is fr the dreamers. da weirdos. the jugheads. LHKDSHFSADLKGFHLSKADG fr those who also feel as if they r not real.

bills n aches n blues... ;; ya this is my call fr all negative plots. bills (catching philly be a thief and a fraud), aches (mayb heartache? unrecruited feelings or w/e theyre called?), n blues (ooooh so sad... so sad ... angst ...) obviously i am a genius. i wldnt say tht philly is here 2 make enemies bc philly doesnt care much abt ppl bt perhaps tht cld b an issue. tht she doesnt care much abt others. mayb ur muse is jst like. cn u pls care. n philly is like. i am incapable. sry. sucks.

n also ,, ;; like. anything i’ll. take anything. philly is weird lets come up w surreal plots tht verge on the edge of like. nt being correct fr this verse. suddenly theres vampires? or so they think ... smirks. anyways. shes been 2 jail n been in the circus n dances naked in the woods n hoards animals n treasures. we hv a lot to work with here obv.

wildflowers in your hair and bare feet against moss, binoculars and maps, madonna beating out of half-dead speakers in a half-dead van, whipping wind, jumping off cliffs and rolling down hills, a bandaid wrapped around each finger, cryptic bumper stickers and cryptids in the woods, facing the sun and letting the rays hit you, counting stars late into the night, dancing naked in the woods with nothing but fire to light your way, mismatched socks and lucky ribbons, hoarding a box of special treasures, shoplifting and diner-dashing, bleach against roots, pink sweaters paired with ripped fishnets and slip dresses with knock off uggs, willingly wearing crocs, glitter stickers, fungi and feeling one with them, lying down and decomposing, they’ll find us in a week. they’ll find us in a week.

there is trauma though, deep-rooted but somewhere inside - you just have to look for it.

you. just. have. to. look. for. it. look for it. look for it. look for it look for it look -

and she left juno, just like that - just five years later, when juno had finally gone to the end of her wits. philly up and left. abandoned her.

philomena and elektra leave the city after that therapy session. they do not return. she’s always been good at hiding her secrets.

three years later and her parents want philly to have a higher education - desperate for it, really - worried for her future. it’s a battle that she loses, getting her ged and applying to a local college in florida in shameful compliance.

they’re there for a year until philly gets (expectantly) expelled from the community college & the two of them are banned from the town they’d residing in up until that point. they don’t talk about it - but boy, was it one hell of a time.

they found refuge in preaker, a town that seemed to suit them well - it suited elektra’s desire to travel up and down the east coast, and it intrigued philomena enough to the point of her being content with staying. soon after, philly officially transferred to yates for her freshmen spring term & theyve been here since.

(whenever anna brings cillian uh. he’s in here too he’s been traveling w them fr like 3ish years. i just cannot rewrite atm KDSGLSDKLGKFGHLKSL bt hes here. n hes sexy. n we love him. bro3tp)

OH. hey yeah the secret. errmm. tht’s on cillian. philly just hid the evidence. no they didnt kill someone yes they did no they did not <3 yes

personality & facts.

she’s quiet but she’s confident - her voice sounds like rustling leaves, if leaves smoked a pack of cigarettes a day.

has always been considered odd - weird, strange. still talks about the trees as if they’re listening, as if they’re old friends. she’s vague and doesn’t elaborate on the things she says.

her voice is often monotonous - she doesn’t sound dreary, she sounds far-away. her voice carries. her emotions are often unknown to others.

has no problem with minor theft - she only takes bare minimum, puts herself and elektra first and that’s how it’s always been. she tries to be good while in preaker / yates - would hate to be forced out by mobs with torches and pitchforks

currently living in calloway while elektra stays in their van, florence - sometimes philly stays there during the weekends.

they used to live in motels on the occasion, the cheapest room, and more often than not they’d both go home with strangers for a comfier bed and a hotter shower.

really, truly - has not slept with anybody, had her first and only kiss at thirteen with a frog. this doesn’t bother her. edit: her first & only kisses hv been w leo fowler. this is important

will consume anything you put in front of her - isn’t picky.

loves storms - will go out in the rain and will risk her life for it.

owns a pair of roller-skates and is often skating rather than walking. unless she’s on grass - then she’s walking barefoot.

( like her frequent visits to the woods, late at night when the moon is high and full. it’s freeing to dance around a fire, stark naked in the cold. builds immunity )

comes and goes wherever she pleases, nothing & nobody can stop her. she knows to respect nature. exudes natural trust energy <3 dont know wht tht means but

the trust expands to animals as well, she has a certain knack for getting them to like her. has too many ‘pet’ rats that reside with her, alongside a baby raccoon & a few crow pals. has a new animal companion everyday, but she doesn’t contain them or force them to stay. edit: she hs a tabby cat named pail, now. named in honor of her mother, bucket.

leaves her window in calloway wide open because of this, because her window is conveniently right besides a tree with sturdy branches. good for animal smuggling, sneaking in and out, hiding, etc. etc. world is her oyster.

though her room in calloway is ??? frankly a mess ??? already ??? usually keeps most of her possessions in her memory box but she’s also turned her room into a mini labyrinth of knick-knacks. very cozy, but very nest-like. think of howl’s room from howl’s moving castle.

wanted connections.

how did you get in here ;; someone whose room she perhaps crashed at late at night, mysteriously. she refuses to explain where she’s come from. she’s gone before you wake. they could literally not know her at all she’s just sleeping halfway under their bed like <3 thank you <3

ma’am this is a wendys ;; someone who sees her constantly <3 doing outlandish shit <3 bc lets b real. shes weird. shes a weirdo. why do u think she wears the same hat everyday. (she doesnt wear hats often) anyways. they probably dnt even like her? just think shes very strange?

im literally going to dissect you ;; someone who. wants to figure out philly. pick at her brain. wear her shoes. kind of in the same category of above in this general like. ur fkn weird. bt they wna figure out why <3 they wna play therapist <3 jokes on u she hates therapists

liddle thief in the night ;; someone who has caught her stealing. or dining n dashing. either/or. perhaps both. she steals a lot :/

oh like. friends n stuff ;; of any closeness. ppl she talks 2 conspiracies with, ppl she goes on late night walks with, ppl she explores with, ppl she steals with, ppl she smokes with, etc. etc. ppl who bring her out to parties cos they like her funky little ways when she gets drunk n tries to climb atop everything <3

thts nice. anyways ;; this is fr like. literally anything unrequited. philly doesnt like <3 a lot of ppl <3 In That Way. so its basically just. ur muse thinks shes very neat n she thinks ur muse is very neat bt platonically. she doesnt do hookups or anything n if she does i tend 2 like. run purely based off of chemistry even with. most of her connections in general.

uuhh. anything ;; HLKDGKSDLKGHLKSFDSHGKFD i nvr rly hv a lot of connections up fr philly bc shes like. a very unpredictable muse n i think its usually better to just. throw her in! n see wht happens! we cn still plot obv n come up w some fun things bt fr the most part shes very organic

Year 6: End of Year Review

Here are my stats and household rankings for Year 6. (Super long text post under the cut.)

Year 5 End of Year Census

Royals (1 household, 5 sims total)

1 elder (female)

1 adult (female)

1 young adult (male)

2 teens (1 female, 1 male)

3 cats (2 female, 2 male, one runaway)

2 dogs (1 female, 1 male, both small)

Change from previous year: -1 sim, -1 pet

Losses: Prince Elton graduated and moved to a Noble household. Prince Laurence is at University and will probably become a Noble when he graduates, but since I don’t know where he’s going to end up after graduation, I’m still going to count him as a Royal for now.

2 elderly pets died, but a new cat was introduced to the household. One of the cats is a runaway and it doesn’t look like they will be coming back.

Nobles (13 households, 90 sims total)

10 elders (6 female, 4 male)

25 adults (14 female, 11 male)

13 young adults (8 female, 5 male)

20 teens (10 female, 10 male)

13 children (5 female, 8 male)

6 toddlers (4 female, 2 male)

3 babies (3 female)

6 dogs (4 female, 2 male / 1 large, 5 small)

5 cats (1 female, 4 males)

Change from previous year: +18 sims, +1 pet, +1 household

Losses: 3 sims died from illness, 2 married into a lower class, 4 pets died from old age.

Gains: 21 sims were born into households. 2 sims joined the Noble class by marriage.

The one new household was Princess Petunia and Thaddeus Durden returned from university.

Merchants / Middle Class (13 households, 63 sims total)

8 elders (4 female, 4 male)

29 adults (16 female, 13 male)

7 teens (3 female, 4 male)

11 children (4 female, 7 male)

4 toddlers (2 female, 2 male)

4 babies (2 female, 2 male)

5 dogs (3 female, 2 male / 1 large, 4 small)

8 cats (3 female, 5 male)

Change from previous year: +16 sims, +7 pets, +1 households

Losses: 4 deaths from old age, 3 deaths from illness, 1 moved to the Peasant class.

Gains: 16 births, 8 married or moved in from another class.

The one new household is Jonathan Durden and Meredith Ajjanagadde. I don’t think of them as Merchants, but until I have more “Middle Class” households, I’m going to group them in together. The Laughlin household was lost this year, but I think Justice’s household is new since he would have been promoted at the end of last year and not counted in the previous census.

Peasants (11 households, 49 sims total)

3 elders (2 female, 1 male)

19 adults (10 female, 9 male)

11 teens (5 female, 6 male)

7 children (1 female, 6 male)

7 toddlers (2 female, 5 male)

2 babies (1 female, 1 male)

9 dogs (5 female, 4 male / 9 large, 1 small)

2 cats (2 female)

Change from previous year: +15 sims, -2 pets, +1 household

Losses: 2 sims died from illness.

Gains: 15 births, 2 moved or married in.

The one new household is Elias Peasant and Christa Midlock.

____________________________________________________________

Not a lot has changed since the previous year, so I’m not going to bother to post the graphs. All my classes are growing, except the Royals, which is to be expected since it is a single household. (The graph for the Royal population is very symmetrical, peaking with 12 sims in year 3.)

The net gain of sims in the kingdom was 46 which is nearly the same as Year 5 with 48. The growth rate might be leveling out.

The proportions of each class have stayed mostly the same since the previous year. Royals went from 4% to 2%, Nobles from 45% to 44%, Merchants from 30% to 31%, and Peasants from 22% to 23%.

___________________________________________________________

I am always tweaking my points system, partially because I forget how I did things previously. (Looking back at my previous year-end-reviews, there are a lot of ideas I’d forgotten . . .) Other than making some changes to the numbers and formulas, I decided to add a line of succession bonus for my upper classes and an age deduction for everyone. My points are really heavy on aspiration, which is naturally going to be higher for older sims, so I subtracted each sims’ age times 10 from their score in the interest of helping younger sims (though I’m not sure that it does much.)

At the end of Year 6, I had 24 sims who were in line to the throne. I added bonus points ranging from 500-0 in increments of 25. Twins got the same number of points as each other. This just left Biana and Olivia Burgos at the bottom of the list that ended up with no points. The bonus points are not set, but will be adjusted annually.

The top ten currently in line to the throne are:

Princess Lila - 500 pts.

Lady Louisa Durden - 475 pts.

Princess Violette - 450 pts.

Princess Rona - 425 pts.

Princess Ruby - 425 pts.

Lady Ramona - 400 pts.

Princess Nova - 375 pts.

Princess Hyacinth - 350 pts.

Princess Sheridan - 325 pts.

Lady Sharona - 300 pts.

___________________________________________________________

Noble Households

Queen Rosalin’s hold on the throne remains safe, as no one comes near her in the points ranking. Not much has changed in most of my upper class households from Year 5, but I am going to put the households in ranking order, according to their points and see if that changes next year. (I also need to update last names at some point.)

(Elaine and Tobias are just living together and never got remarried. She should marry him though, because that would bump their score up above Dahlia’s.)

? - Formerly Kara and Lorenzo’s household

(I’m not sure if I should count them, because I didn’t move Princess Rona in until the beginning of the next year, but maybe I should have moved her in one the last day of spring. Now that I look at it, I might have been off on her graduation date . . . This is basically a new household in an old house with some of the members of the former household living there.)

(Marrying Nicholas was a very bad idea for her ranking. Without him, she would have been above Princess Rona. I am using the household scores to determine points that offspring get for their rank. If I hadn’t used the previous years scores, her children would have suffered too.)

Merchant Households

I still haven’t quite figured out how to use the points for my merchant class. The individual points for each sims is easy enough. I calculate the merchants and peasants in the same way, but I’m not sure how to calculate the business points. It gets complicated when I have households that run multiple businesses and businesses that were passed down from one generation to the next.

2000 is the threshold value for my Noble class. The only merchants that have a personal score over 2000 are Garen Durden, who was born a Noble, but he and his wife Pasiphae average a score below 2000, and Justice, who was promoted from the Peasants at the end of the last year. But having over 2000 is why he got promoted last time. Even with -500 for being born a peasant and -610 for his age, his score is 2881, which is higher than a lot of my Nobles. His businesses are low ranked though. Since his personal score is so high, I ended up giving him an income like I did with the Nobles.

My current households and points are:

Ajjanagadde - 1540 pts (using the Nobles point system. I should probably see how the Merchant score compares. The biggest difference are badges and how I score BFFs)

Meredith Ajjanagadde and Jonathan Durden

No business owned

Carpenter

Timothy and Kitty Carpenter - 800 pts.

The Carpenter Shoppe - 55 pts.

Collin

Morgan Collin - 513 pts. (Morgan is the one Audrey left the businesses to. Mallory and Nathaniel average 1294 pts.)

The Shore - 10 pts.

The Church - 100 pts.

The Farmer’s Market - -30pts.

Fancey

Allyn Livingston - 1187 pts. (Chloe Fancey - 986 pts., Marlin Livingston - 470 pts.)

Fancey Restaurant - 495 pts.

Farmer

Caleb Farmer and Aiyanna Kwa - 613 pts.

Farmer’s Lot - -20 (This business was doing so poorly that I closed and then reopened it to give the family a chance.)

Hanby

Jordan Hanby and Patrick Peasant - 1417 pts.

The Hobby Shoppe - 610 pts.

Jenron

Rebekah and Darius Peasant - 799

The Hideaway - 130

Justice

Justice Peasant, the good witch - 2881

Justice’s Potion Shoppe - -30

The Pet Shoppe - 100

The Pet Park (The Pet Cemetery) - 0

Potter

Katrina Potter and Derrick Vijayakar - 1475

The Pottery Shoppe - 1680

The Craft Lot - 10

Smith

Florence Smith and Apollo Tavern - 396

The Smithy - 65

Tavern

Pasiphae Tavern and Garen Durden - 1860

The Tavern - 3410

Community Lot Tavern - -400

Vijayakar

Lindsay Vijayakar and Colby Schamess - 1446

The Magic Carpet Shoppe - 475

Peasant Households

Deducting points for age really helped prevent too many of my Peasants from being promoted up to Merchants (which was one of my goals for adding an age component). My highest ranking Peasants are still the oldest Peasants. Here are the top ten Peasants:

Jeremiah - 1761

Brooke Tellerman (who was originally a townie and doesn’t have the -500 deduction. She brought a lot of money with her that made her and Hugo’s scores higher) - 1557

Clare - 1544

Madeline - 1386

Vivian - 1261

Braxton - 1212

Ezra - 1085

Raymond - 947

Hugo - 895

Marisa Shahan (originally a townie) - 670

Without the age deduction Jeremiah and Clare would have been over the 2000 threshold and Madeline would have been just under 2000. Earnest, who was high enough to be promoted last year, is still scoring well above 2000 (2388 using the Nobles system) so I think the age deduction is working well without dropping scores too much.
