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

[northern-passage]

a little update.. what i'm working on/prologue changes so far:

no prologue! it’s chapter 1 now

removed the option to leave clementine behind. you have to take them with you :3c

removed height options (sorry!)

in general, edited the cc to flow better

combat preferences have been adjusted-- all still the same but i've made it more obvious how each specialty works mechanically which will hopefully make fights more intuitive to win (or lose, if you want)

genderlocked the sibling. officially a Sister

edited a LOT of dialogue; hopefully it's an improvement and feels more natural

restructured the wraith fight so that it's consistent with the fight in blackwater. with the changes made to the combat preferences this should make the combat system overall cohesive now <- i'm still working on this currently but i am HOPING to finish it by the end of this month.

i have pretty much rewritten the entire prologue. wasn't my plan at the start but here we are... so things are quite different. but also the same. i also streamlined a lot of the choices & branches and cut/combined ones that i felt were just excessive.

i plan to update once i've finished making & importing these changes, and i will probably limit the demo to chapter 1 (previously the prologue) until i get through and edit chapter 2 (previously chapter 1) because i really don't want to have the demo be inconsistent for however long it takes me to get through the next edits. hopefully this will not take that long, and then i'll put chapter 2 & and part 1/what's already been published of chapter 3 back up. and then!!! i will move on to finishing chapter 3.

i know this probably isn't the update you all were hoping for but i'm excited for the next steps with tnp :-)

[slowestlap]

Valtteri Bottas was part of a Finnish tv show called "Yökylässä" (sleepover) where the host goes to visit Finnish celebrities and spends two days and one night in their home. This episode aired on February 2nd, 2023 and was filmed at some point in 2022.

Below I give context to the screenshots and have also translated some interesting bits:

1st row: Just some cute random VB photos to start with

2nd row: He really loves gin, first two photos are from his main apartment and right photo is from his weekend house. It simply was too many bottles to fit into one shot (no pun)

3rd row: And here we have him making gin tonic using his own gin brand. The obligatory helmet wall (there was another one as well). He's had this Ferrari for a few months, says blue is his favorite color. He'd have wanted to drive the host around with it but the battery had run out so they went with his red Alfa Romeo SUV

4th row: That's his weekend house near the main apartment but outside the city center. An artist in Monaco offered to make art work (something funny) for him and this is what they received. The framed a$$ photo is in the guest bathroom of the weekend house. They sold 5400 pcs of prints of it in 24h and got 50k€ for charity

5th row: They face timed Mika. He (grinningly) says the only advise he can give to Valtteri is "to break later". Just some absolute mint slippers he was wearing when they brushed teeth. That's his boat which is called "Rehab" but "it's almost the opposite (when you go there)". They rent it for others too, a full day is ~5k€

Other stuff i decided to highlight:

There's 3 or 4 feral cats around the weekend house that they'll give food to

The most important trophies are in Finland, the one from his first win is the most special

"It's hard to find apartments that you like to stay in (in Monaco), the prices are crazy expensive and quality is quite bad and they're old"

He pays 9500 € rent per month for his apartment

He wouldn't say how much the weekend house cost

The main reason for moving to Monaco was the taxes. He's calculated that in Finland his net income would be ~20 % of all of his gross income. In Monaco it's 60-70% after his expenses (like managers etc.) At the beginning of his career when things were unsure he thought it's important to try to make as much money as possible, after all the hard work he had put into becoming an F1 driver

He doesn't enojy fame and would rather be unknown but he understands it's part of being in F1 and he'd do anything to be able to live his childhood dream

He drove a kart for the first time as 5yo, jumped out of it and told everyone he'll become an F1 driver

Mika Häkkinen was his idol as a kid. It was a wow moment when he got a call from an unkonwn number in 2007 and it was Mika who wanted to help him in his career

He handles his finances/contracts by himself because it's hard to give someone else control over those things. Also mentions he doesn't like to be a passenger in a car because he's not in control of it

He only goes to social media to post things he wants to share, he doesn't read any comments or dm's

Tiffany does read some comments and said there's now less hateful comments towards Valtteri compared to how much there was when he drove for Merc

He hasn't really been single, after his break ups he's fallen in love quickly again. "It's nice to have a life partner"

Weight mentions ahaed! He talks a bit about the same stuff he mentioned in his podcast last year; he trained himself sick (around 2014). He was having really unhealthy training and eating habits and hid things from his trainer. He thought at the time that was what he should do. "If your team tells you to weight a certain amount, you'll do it". He then talked to a psychologist who said at first he was behaving like a robot without emotions but after that he started to work on getting healthier habits back

Host: "Do you talk about mental health related issues with your colleagues?" - "Not really, it still isn't a common subject to talk about. Even though maybe we should, I'm not the only guy who sometimes struggles".

Host: "How was it when you were the second driver for years?" - "Quite tough. It was so hard to accept but now I've made peace with it that Lewis was a better driver than me. After last year (2021) I admitted to myself that that's just how it goes sometimes." "Did you use to be bitter and jealous?" - "Yes, especially the first couple of years. I didn't hate him, we had a good partnership but I always thought how can I beat him and be better than him and win the championship. But it was tough 5 years. I shouldn't have been as harsh to myself."

He pays the private jet company he uses extra amount of money, enough to compensate the environmental impact. They went to his boat and he said he will compensate the costs too

He mentions that sometimes in the places they travel to it's better to keep quiet and lay low than to speak up about the issues within the country. He does say that in Saudi (2022, after the missile) the drivers decided to not drive but they were guaranteed it's safe to do so and that there's heavy security around the track. "Show must go on" and they weren't really given an option other than to drive. Formula 1 goes to places that pay the most.

Host: "The only thing missing from your life is F1 championship, is that so?" - "Yes."

study smart not hard (altough both is best actually) this saying is so true

[sketch-guardian]

Funny thought Mc calling Uriel racist every single time she shows prejudice to our demon RAD classmates and any demon friends (excluding those that are jerks)

Cutting the line? Mc shouting racists while pointing at Uriel

Being rude to a demon for no reason? Racist!!- Mc

Being rude to one of our lovey demon RAD classmates?! “How are you an Angel if your racists and being cruel for no specific reason? Doesn’t god say you should love everyone? And they say demons are cruel and evil belong here yet your an Angel?” - Mc probably

Just a funny thought I needed to share cause Mc gives no fucks be funnier if everytime Uriel is mean for not specific reason to them or the RAD classmates they just say “Racists” while pointing at Uriel

Another + if Mc did a whole PowerPoint presentation on how racism is bad and how it effects people in the human world (POC Mc - A Mexican)

(Ps: I’m not saying Uriel is racist I just think it’d be funny,pls don’t take it the wrong way I don’t mean it offensively!! Like in Deadpool with how he calls Cable racists over Russel or how in those funny movies that have people being called racists or that one football movie scene,pls I’m begging you don’t take it the wrong way)

Don't worry, I didn't take that idea as offensive towards my OC😌actually as you said, I think it would be funny if someone actually pointed out Uriel's prejudicial attitude😂so let's proceed with the headcanon✨:

"URIEL WITH A MC WHO CALLS HER OUT FOR BEING 'RACIST' TOWARDS DEMONS "

The first time MC happens to point out that Uriel sometimes behaves in a racist manner towards the demon brothers or the RAD classmates, the warrior angel would glare at them and even if MC doesn't give a damn, they couldn't help but think that if it were not for some kind of celestial law, Uriel would have smited them already. As for the motivations behind Uriel's resentment towards demons, on the one hand it's because of how she was educated on the hellborn demons (like Diavolo), a bit like Luke at the beginning who didn't trust demons, in fact some celestial beings still struggle to accept the possible prospect of a truce with Devildom, on the other hand, however, there is a greater, deeper motivation for Uriel, namely having felt betrayed by those who once she considered superiors or even friends, seeing those same people break God's teachings that characterized her entire existence, her reason for living being broken and disrespected, affected Uriel deeply. Uriel once admired some of them, for example she looked up to Zuri, in her opinion one of the most beautiful, diligent and pure angels, alongside Lucifer, so when the 7 brothers and the others fell from grace, Uriel felt distraught, almost abandoned, and began to grow and hold back feelings of hatred and regret within herself, thinking about how things could have been resolved differently, if only they had followed the rules. Returning to the MC's reproaches, the first few times Uriel would respond in a rather cynical or dry way, reminding MC that even though those demons seem good, they are in Devildom for a reason and that they shouldn't forget it, given what they went through and risked in their presence, she would also add that quesioning God's will is a sin in the Celestial Realm, definitively more serious than her prejudice towards demons, which in her opinion is justified. As a warrior angel, not used to empathy, Uriel would need help and patience from MC and others (such as Simeon, Luke, Raphael, Nathaniel and Remiel) to overcome her block in accepting demons, however it wouldn't be impossible, showing Uriel that they're still the same people she once knew and that not everyone is necessarily evil would be enough. By improving over time, Uriel would also receive more praise from MC for her efforts, which she would appreciate. As for MC making a powerpoint to explain to Uriel why racism is a bad thing and how it also affects people in the human world, I didn't have time to make a quick sketch, but the graphic representation would be more or less something like this-

it’s so fucked up that i can’t be a slut on my days off 😭

[ Al, whenever she sees Spent or Penny on the dash (usually interacting with Valera or another mutual friend): Oh, it's my haters! I Do Not See Them ]

[jeanmoreaux]

mish i am so happy we're both in the category of "generally listening to the same artists every year" haha. i always get a bit embarrassed for having almost the same artists in my top 5 the last few years but it's actually completely fine

ioana i am ao happy we’re in the same boat as well <3 i really enjoy listening to same albums and songs and artists over and over again, so i also don’t see anything wrong with having the same people on rotation in your top artists every year sjdjjdjsjsj like, i can’t help it! it’s literally not my fault that these people just have so many bops in their catalogue.

[bloodyentrails]

Do you want to see my feathers.

[raksh-writes]

Haven’t been this of an emotional wreck for a while but now I feel like Im gonna be randomly tearing up throughout the whole day, and the reason? Fucking sports 😂😂

It's kinda hilarious tbh. I haven’t cried on my cousin's wedding two days ago but I did after our National man's volleyball team finally, fucking finally, won their quarterfinal at the olimpics just now, because they haven’t been able to do that for fucking five consecutive times, last three of which Ive watched and seen them completely wrecked about after and Im just--

Im so happy for them 🥹🥹🥹

Sevika

first things first she has a dark purple strap i’m talking almost the same color that shimmer is and boy does she know how to use it

whenever she pulls the strap out be prepared to not be able to walk the next day

her strap game is DIABOLICAL, she always makes sure to hit that spot inside you that makes you let out a squeal and causes your toes to curl

[sketch-guardian]

after coming back to my peak, ace attorney fandom, i decided to slip in ur requests 😋 rad classmates and new exchange students reaction to lawyer mc whos either like edgeworth or franziska (SHES SO) (maybe a sprinkle of apollo? I love my short king), and since they love their job they decided to be a student and a lawyer in hell

I'm sorry for the long hiatus anon😥but as I explained in the previous ask, the one about MC training with the RAD classmates and the New exchange students, I was pretty busy for a while due to university🙈I know about Ace Attorney, but I've only seen some gameplays, so I hope they aren't too OOC and that the wait was worth it😞again, I apologize:

"RAD CLASSMATES+NEW EXCHANGE STUDENTS WITH A LAWYER MC WHO IS EITHER LIKE EDGEWORTH, FRANZISKA OR APOLLO FROM ACE ATTORNEY"

DEMYA (APOLLO)

Demya, like the feral yet cute beast she is, would give MC many headaches. MC would act as her lawyer to defend her from trouble, while Demya would return the favor with affection and protection. Demya can be rather wild and outlaw, so they would disagree on some things, but she would find the dynamic of the goody two shoes falling for the chaotic menace adorable. They would be loud together and Demya would act as their cheerleader when MC is nervous during trials, practicing the night before to psych them up. Demya would be surprised if MC actually got emotional if something more serious were to happen to her, but it would also reassure her that even though she often gets into a lot of trouble, MC still loves her. Demya and MC's relationship would be similar to the one between Apollo and Klavier, in terms of rivalry and admiration

DOMNRA/MOBIM (EDGEWORTH)

At the beginning, their relationship would be tense because of Domnra's reputation as a delinquent, but having a partner who can stand up to him and give him a hard time would interest Domnra, it would be thrilling, almost like a rivals to lovers story. Domnra has a grumpy face too, so they would both look intimidating, even if MC would be the calmest of the two. Law wouldn't interest Domnra much, but MC could convince him by saving his ass in court once or twice, they would help each other slowly open up with their feelings and understand love. Due to MC logical mindset, Domnra would try helping them getting used to Devildom and creatures such as Mobim, who would think that MC's behavior kinda resembles Domnra's, aside from the training part

AZUL (FRANZISKA)

Azul would love MC's dubious methods in court, he would find them creative and original, especially since he's eccentric in his own way, it wouldn't be surprising if he showed up in court with popcorn to enjoy the show of MC destroying their opponents, sometimes acting as a fanboy during trials, risking being kicked out for contempt of court. The fact that MC may seem generally cold and stubborn at first wouldn't worry Azul, being friends with Domnra and Zuri he would be used to it, he would appreciate their hidden tender heart, but he would playfully tease MC from time to time just for shits and giggles, earning himself a whiplash, the problem is that they would probably excite him, so it wouldn't make Azul give up, quite the opposite. Azul would take a lot of pictures of MC dressed as a lawyer and would suggest roleplays in which he is either a criminal or a rival lawyer

ZURI (EDGEWORTH)

Zuri and MC would certainly be a power couple: work-oriented, elegant, serious, able to intimidate with just one icy glare and although Zuri isn't part of the legislative field but fashion instead, she would still pass for a refined lawyer. As a couple, Zuri and MC would arouse envy or confusion, no in betweens. Zuri would follow MC in court to see them in action during trials, finding their wit intriguing and clever, she would also slowly try to make them accept compliments and rewards, as she believes they deserve them for their excellent performances. As MC would have trouble expressing themself and be awkward in general, it would be up to Zuri to make the first move in courting them, perhaps using logical approach. One thing they would have in common would be that they care a lot about their loved ones, even if discreet in showing their affection. Zuri would also take care of arranging MC's lawyer outfits and making sure they are presentable

ODON (APOLLO)

Odon learned the concept of justice a little late in their youth, after emotions such as empathy, so laws would confuse them in some ways or they wouldn't concern them that much, since as an eldritch horror, Odon would be able to bend the laws of physics to their will, reality doesn't apply to a nightmare beyond comprehension, so to better understand MC's profession, Odon would document themself with some books on legislation, to learn and be able to have a conversation with MC about their passion. Odon wouldn't want to risk making someone uncomfortable with their presence during a court case, so they wouldn't show up personally, but would have one of their eye-like creatures watch the scene while hidden, through which Odon can see and therefore in a certain sense the eldritch horror would be able to watch MC at work, with curiosity and wonder at their sincere desire to improve and help innocents. Aware of their self-esteem and voice exercises, Odon would encourage them softly and brew a beverage of their liking to help MC with their occasional hoarse voice from yelling. Moreover Odon would also find their jokes about justice funny, no matter how cheesy. Despite not being used to cooking, Odon would try to prepare more substantial meals for MC, watching science shows together in the meantime, when Odon's eldritch nature allows so, since it occasionally bothers technology

REMIEL (APOLLO)

Remiel doesn't know very well what some human jobs consist of exactly, she learned from some souls about their existence, however she never went much into details while she was helping souls reach the afterlife, she left them free to express themselves freely given the delicate moment, reassuring them in case of need. The angel of death would likely associate MC's job with a celestial duty, using a familiar example to better understand, it would remind her of the Charred Council or in any case her duty to maintain balance, a small common feature. Remiel would appreciate MC fighting for the sake of truth and balance, emphasizing how bright their soul is thanks to that and even if she would be a little confused by MC's loud voice or by them hitting desks during trials, she would be there as a quiet support, making sure MC eats healthy meals besides instant noodles and crackers, aware that those wouldn't be enough to sustain their body in court. As the confident one in the relationship, MC would act as a moral support for Remiel, defending her against anyone who dares mocking her because of her half-angel and half-nephilim nature. MC could bring Remiel to help in court because, in addition to understanding when someone is telling the truth, like Lord Diavolo, she can summon souls as witnesses during trials for murder

NATHANIEL (EDGEWORTH)

Nathaniel would have mixed feelings towards MC at first, even if he wouldn't show it, since their job and the judge's would remind him of the Charred Council, by who he has always felt controlled, sometimes like an empty husk or a mindless puppet without free will. The archangel of patience and temperance would lower his guard over time and become less tense, only after discovering that MC is willing to go to great lengths to protect those they hold dear. They would share the trait of accidentally glaring at people, perhaps without even realizing it, the difference would be that MC would seem cold and snobbish, while Nathaniel apathetic and stoic, so the archangel would take care of preventing MC from appearing too intimidating and tactless with a simple nod or a pat on the shoulder to calm them down, Nathaniel would act as a great stress reliever and would advise MC to meditate every now and then, given the pressure they are often subjected to in court, teaching the importance of taking it easy and be vulnerable, at least when alone. MC would usually be calm and level-headed, driven by logic, Nathaniel on the hand, surprisingly being more chaotic neutral than he appears, would enjoy testing MC's patience and making them question their sanity every now and then, in a fairly innocent way of course, just the occasional banter or tease

URIEL (FRANZISKA)

Uriel is literally the archangel of justice and braveness, probably the idol of lawyers, judges, policemen, soldiers and moralists, so although surreal, for MC it would be an honor being their significant other, a fact that would only magnify their ego, especially during trials or investigations. Initially there might be some bickering between MC and Uriel, as both are stubborn with the mindset of a perfectionist, their behaviors might be similar in some respects, but both would have a soft heart deep down and would show few signs of vulnerability, Uriel would also be willing to act as MC's bodyguard, accompanying them everywhere since she would fear possible assaults from some clients to make them give up being a lawyer, to underline the repercussions of going against strong opponents, Uriel would hate such injustices, especially if unpunished. Uriel would be very passionate about justice and therefore would appreciate MC's job, even though she would be a bit confused and scandalized by them using a whip, as long as it works though, the end justifies the means for her, anything to make the guilty pay and provide justice to the victims, especially if they are children or in delicate situations. Uriel every now and then, out of curiosity, even if rarely due to her duty as a warrior angel, would show up in court to see MC at work, the only risk could be that depending on how the trial goes, she could get carried away by tension and either insult Devildom's legal system or slam her hands on the desk, accidentally breaking it. Uriel would also like to try to train MC in self-defense, perhaps using their whip as a weapon
