NEW CAMPAIGN FOR THE SHEHAB FAMILY!

The Shehabs are wonderful people, to whom came a great misfortune. you might remember me making a post for them before, before their old campaign was forcefully closed, the money seized and returned to the donors. they've started a new campaign, and unfortunately, only around 200€ was received in 3 months. you all know the situation in gaza. there is no amenities, barely any water, or clothes, but most importantly - no food. Mohammed and Mona have two lovely daughters and he had sent me messages of them crying and wailing from pure hunger. NO CHILD SHOULD GO THROUGH THAT, no matter where they are. Mohammed is willing to take pictures of the food they will buy with the donated money, so i can add it onto this post.

Little Iman and Toleen have no food!!!

The family is vetted by @gazavetters, #111!

They also have a blog on tumblr, @mohammedshehabtt, through which you can contact them. They would really appreciate having more contact with the outside world and people to help them in crisis. i personally talk to them through whatsapp.

Please donate, or if you can't, share to those who do. Thank you for caring.

As the creator of "losers in some ancient war" thank you so much for recommending it! I will say that I have up to 16 chapters written, though I need to go back and edit/fix things. Tragically ever since that last chapter I posted in 2022 my life has been in such a place where I've not been in a mindset to write/edit/engage with things well. BUT. Things are looking up. THIS IS NOT A PROMISE but I will try to get myself in gear to continue posting more of what I've written. i am so sorry to leave everyone hanging hahaha Again, thank you so much!! I read every comment even if I don't reply and knowing people enjoy what I've written makes me so happy. note to me: if you dont update this year im beating me up for crimes ps special drop here on the tumblrs for whoever has read it and wants to know: the title comes from "i must be a loser in some ancient war" by sadloaf! edit later: "There is one more fic similar to this, where Gohan asks Vegeta to teach him Saladian, but Vegeta doesn't want to admit that he doesn't actually remember how to speak it properly because Frieza forbade him from speaking it. All he knows how to do is write it and poorly speak it based off old fuzzy memories. Its really good but I can't find it anywhere and I bookmark everything, literally everything, I read, so I have no idea where it is or what it's name is. Tried finding it manually but alas. It lives on only in my memory." this is actually from "losers in some ancient war"!

thinking about gohan and vegeta and how their bond is underrated

the difference in their reactions to each other 😭

Gohan being the first one to step between Vegeta and Certain Death, twice, without an ounce of hesitation, and Vegeta saving him back despite his feelings about battle intervention.

Vegeta knowing Gohan's the best of all of them

Vegeta and Gohan both born prodigies assigned an unfair amount of responsibility to be Great and be a Saiyan Messiah(tm) way too young by a stubborn and proud if not (relatively) well-meaning father who didn't see any other option and I just think Gohan doesn't get enough credit as like. The first serious muscle behind Geets' personal growth.

A celebration and a thank you

I started my Tumblr acct on jan 10th of 2024. I had one follower, and it was the follower everyone gets as a new blog on this app. A few days later I posted my first fic and it was horrbly written but somehow someway, people fucked with it and began requesting more things from me. One follower became ten, ten followers became twenty, and the number kept going up. I remember hitting 100 followers, and I was jumping for joy. I remember hitting 300 and I was so fucking excited. And the numbers kept going up until I hit 1k.

1k was and still is a lot to me, I never had 1k followers on ANY social media or fan acct I had and this was like finding out I won the damn lottery, I think I even did a giveaway for that milestone. Each milestone for me was so fun and special because, I never knew how many people could actually fuck with me and the work I put out. This is the most welcomed I have felt in any fandom I've been. This fandom has put me through hell and back, but I'm grateful for it cause it actually made me realize things within myself.

and now, IM AT 5 FUCKING THOUSAND FOLLWERS!!!! FIVE THOUSAND, CINCO!!!! 5 THOUSAND OF YALL FUCK WITH ME AND THAT MAKES ME SO DAMN HAPPY AND IM SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU DO.

Now, although I'm grateful for ALL of y'all, I want to give a special thanks to Chris's main hoes!!! We recently celebrated our 1-year friendship anniversary, and I made my post then, but I'm giving another quick shout-out.

These girls are truly special to me. I came on Tumblr planning on posting and going my own way, but then they came into my life and made me open up to making friends. I wouldn't have it any other way.

These girls have hyped me up, they have helped me figure out my own shit, we have given eachother fic ideas, we help eachother in so many ways and i fr see them as my little sisters (crying while writing this) and i will fr ride and die over them!!! So thank you to @thenickgirl @mattslolita @guccifrog2 and Aiden (yall dw we getting her back on Tumblr soon). Thank yall for being the pookies and internet sisters I could ever ask for. Yall have been here with me from the start and I hope y'all stay with me forever💕

NOW ONTO THE CELEBRATION!!!!

Even though my first fic is important, it didn't do anything for me. However, my second fic, which in my opinion put me on the map and actually made people see me, was "FreshLove For The Fit".

I would get comments and DMs, and people in my inbox begging for me to write more parts when it was originally supposed to be one part. But I did it, I wrote four parts for it.

to this day, I get people asking for another part and I have decided to.............. FULLY REWRITE IT !!!

when i first wrote it, i was still learning how to take my wattpad writing and change it to tumblr writing (there is a big difference). it wasn't horrbly written, but i know my writing has gotten way better and i want to make it even better!!!!

So with that being said, the rewritten version of the small series will be posted tmrw!!!! The original series will stay up under Chris series, but I will add the new versions on that page as well!!! I can't wait for y'all to read it!!!!

So all in all, thank you to everyone who has supported me and to those I have befriended. You all truly mean so much to me, and I love everyone in the peach pit family🍑💕

hi, im in the research stage for an oc who is Black and in STEM, and i remembered you mentioned a while ago that your hair wasn’t accommodated for by PPE, i THINK? i couldn’t remember details and tumblr has a terrible search system, so i tried poking around to see if i could find similar stories on reddit or google, but pretty much every result was encouragement/success stories from Black folks in STEM (fantastic but not what i was looking for specifically lol!)

i’m still in the developing stage for which hairstyle I want for my oc. i’m deciding mainly between long locs or a stylized afro. i wanted to ask if you could elaborate how PPE interacts/has interacted with your hair, if that’s a topic you’re okay with, or if you have stories from other Black people sharing similar experiences? tysm.

Well, when I had long locs, I had to wear a loc sock and two PPE hoods. The sock holds the locs, but the hoods look like this:

And my locs were not of the thinness nor short length required to tie up within this. SO what I would do is put on my loc sock, but one of these on over the sock itself, and THEN put another one on over my head. Jury rigged into good PPE 👍🏾 Some people I knew with braids just said fuck it and let the braids hang out the bottom, or tucked them into the suits as much as they could. If they wanted them fully covered they should have made PPE that gave a shit about Black hair.

You can fit curly and coiled hair under these to an extent. But physics are gonna physic; you can only fit so much afro under here before it no longer works. Depending on what type of job they have and what PPE is required, there may be plastic bonnet like caps (that come in different sizes) as part of PPE that will cover hair just fine, though again- physics. Same idea with "just pull your hair back" okay now I have an afro puff that STILL won't fit unless I wear two hoods. We can't all do the lil tiny bun some of y'all condense your hair into.

For my Black STEM folks, drop your PPE stories if you'd like 👍🏾

[bluecollarmcandtf]

Which one do YOU want?

Remember this guy? You might've seen him from your car, flagging down customers on the highway. Or maybe it was at my auction last year. It's been awhile since I used Tumblr to sell these brainless sacks of meat, but I figured I'd show off my operation's growth.

James has clearly grown too. I've been extra generous with his allotment of slop each night, pouring about twice as much down his throat as the rest. He used to have abs, back when he sold cars. Now he's got an extra layer of blubber to hardy him up for the elements.

He holds that sign through winds, rain, and snow. It's his only purpose, and any good sign post needs some weight to stay grounded. That fat gut sure gets the job done.

I priced James a bit high. I like keeping the guy around as my signpost, but I've got plenty more hypnotized men to choose from...

Shawn, here, is a construction worker I picked up downtown. He was a wild boy and had quite a mouth on him, swearing and hollering with the rest of his crew until I got a hold of him. A little chat with me and he was as dumb as a rock. The fucker still is!

I've been using him as cheap labor, expanding my house with a new kitchen and sunroom. It's been nice using up his fresh young body on my house. It's been months since he quit construction and came here permanently, and I'm not sure he's stopped building since.

Still, the brute is a mess. I keep my guys clean, but he's been difficult to keep hosing off. I gave up a few weeks ago, so he reeks pretty bad of dirt and sweat. He's been tracking mud everywhere and literally cannot stop drooling all over the place! At this point the boy makes more mess than he's worth, so I'm happy to sell him off to anyone that wants to work him.

This serious-looking bear is Daryl. He's an office monkey that stopped in on his way home from work. He actually thought I sold cars! He found out pretty quick what I was actually in the business of, and has been standing on my lot ever since.

The guy's a bit ugly so he hasn't been bought yet. I took his dress shirt off to make him look a bit more enticing. Not sure if it did anything though...

I can't imagine what his wife saw in him. That's right, this corporate ape was married! She came looking for him awhile back but I hypnotized her to forget about the man and focus on raising the kids herself. Anyway, let me know if your interested in a white-collar daddy. I'm happy to cut a deal!

I imagine this stud will sell quick. That's why I upcharged him to $25. I hypnotized him at a bar on my night off last weekend. Talk about work life balance. Anyways, Jordan was cocky and rude and insulting. I could only take so much of his howling at his own jokes before I whipped out my pendulum.

I think he was trying to pick up some girls that night, but he came home with me.

I stripped him down and programmed him to be my submissive and breedable bitch. His mind was mind to mold, and I made sure it craved my pleasure and my pleasure only.

Anyways, his brain and holes are washed clean now. If you throw in a few extra bucks, I can add some hypnotic triggers for you yourself to play around with too.

Of course, I get my fair share of pigs around here. Usually, they aren't as young and fresh-faced as this Trooper right here. He pulled me over for speeding on the highway. I couldn't believe a baby cop like him was trying to write up a man like me. Needless to say, I had Officer McCabe eating out of my hand in no time.

He was easier to talk under than most! Proves our finest aren't our smartest.

I always enjoy having a cop like McCabe on the sales floor. It gives me something to slap and jerk as I wander by. I like to leave the crotch of his uniform open so I have easy access as I pass. Policemen are a hot item! He'll be sold in no time, but I'm only selling this Trooper to a man that's willing to let me watch one more punch in his uniformed nuts.

Oh boy. Where do I start with this one? I'm embarrassed to admit I don't really remember where I got this stud. I got blacked out drinking one night and woke up with this mind fucked jock slobbering all over me! I must've hypnotized some random guy at the bar!

Just another hazard of the business I suppose.

He'd already been brainwashed to forget who he was and where he'd came from when I found him in my bed. Apparently, I do a very thorough hypnosis act while drunk because he couldn't use his mouth for anything other than my carnal worship. Part of me feels guilty, but what can you do?

I've kept him long enough, but I really don't need a clingy slave like that. He's obsessed with having a master to serve, so if you want him, he's yours! Free of charge! I hosed him down, so just show up with a truck or something and pick him up. I'll tell him you're his new master and he'll be ready to worship you day and night!

He really is the most loyal thing you could get!

Well, that'll do it for today's auction! Let me know which one you want, or come on down to my dealership if you want to take one on a test drive.

There's no need to be nervous...unless you're a handsome young man yourself. I just might have to show you my pendulum...

Debunking Accusations

Hi everyone - I wanted to take a moment to address a situation that has come up regarding my recent release. A creator is claiming that I have stolen their mesh and that it is the same as my stone wash bay divider. There are a few points I want to go through so bear with me.

First off - here was my inspiration for the stone wash bays and my first wip:

And here is my browser history recording when I first looked at the page the inspo photo is from:

My WIP is dated April 16th. According to the timeline posted by the creator's mother (see below) this was DAYS before someone joined to purchase the mesh.

The next section is comparing the meshes. I was given the WHES mesh by an anonymous source just today in order to defend myself as their object is behind a paywall.

My object is on the left and the other is on the right. As you can see, there are significant differences in the overall form and the smaller details.

Here are the meshes side by side. The differences are apparent. The creator's mother has claimed that I edited the second mesh to create the first one, but this would, quite frankly, have not been worth the effort over creating it from scratch as I did.

Finally, here are the object definitions. I don't know who SimHaus Studios is but as you can see, these are two unique files.

She is saying that I haven't reached out to her. I have. I reached out to her and her mother as I saw their posts. Both sent responses amounting to "we don't want to talk" and then blocked me. I to this day don't have either of them blocked.

These individuals continue to lump this accusation in with completely separate issues they have with a Sims 4 discord server they are banned from also due to harassing behavior.

I can't control the dozens of alts they make to work around being banned to access my content, but I do have the right to remove harassing comments from my pages. Some examples of these comments: (TW- swearing)

It's exhausting to deal with the flood of alt accounts and trolls sent to harass me. I don't know why they all like drama so much. The only thing that has helped me deal with it was the equal outpouring of support for me and my work. It touches me more than I can possibly express.

Thank you for reading friends, and remember, don't feed the trolls.

P.S. - This is my 1,000th post on Tumblr. Here's to 1,000 more <3

[moonlume]

This was mostly for Instagram as I've always felt much more comfortable on Tumblr, whether I'm on or off-topic, but I figured it's good to post it here too just as an update on what's been going on with me! I'm slowly getting back on track with things, I'll do more varied posting here too now I think :')

Plain text version under the read more:

Hi! Long time no see! Apologies for the sudden radio silence. I needed a long overdue break from social media. The truth is that I've been struggling with severe burnout for the last couple of years now. Between failed projects, changes in social media, and health issues, I've sadly developed a really negative and unhealthy outlook towards myself and my work, and I got really stuck in that mindset for a long time. Recently I heard a quote that was very fitting for what's been going on with me: "Don't start cleaning until you understand the mess." That is what I've been trying to do! I've been thinking and overthinking how I want to move forward with Moonlume, trying to understand those negative feelings and where they come from, and maybe, just maybe, I've found a path that I'm comfortable with. I'd like to delve into some of these topics with you, so read on if you're curious! Changes are coming!

SOCIAL MEDIA

I've been "in a relationship" with social media since I was about 15. I used to love it. I'm 30 now, and I've been trying to understand what made me so negative about it nowadays; not the parts I can't control, (algorithms, scams, AI, ads...) but my own presence and interaction with it. In hindsight, I should have realised what the main problem was sooner... When I was younger, the blogs I remember having a fun time running used to mostly be about what other people have made, and the things I enjoyed. I've been a small biz girlie since I was 16 (I used to run @FrozenCrafts before this! :D) but I've never liked being in a position where I only share my own work and nothing else. It's too much spotlight for me, too much pressure, especially with social media requiring consistency nowadays. I've always been an anxious, introverted person, and I now realise that this spotlight has been eating away at me. (Which is odd to say as someone who runs a small biz, I know.) I started getting even more anxious when, due to multiple reasons (more on that later) my output of new art really dropped off. Even though I've been working on Moonlume this whole time in the quiet background, I had very few new things to show for it. I couldn't help but compare myself to artists I really respect and look up to, who make new things every month, every week, and yes of course comparing yourself to others is a recipe for disaster, but... we all do it to some extent.

(And I definitely went overboard. At my lowest, I voiced some really awful things about both myself and my work...) Over time, the anxiety and frustration with myself got so bad that I couldn't stomach doing anything creative for a while, and eventually, I stopped all social media activity entirely. People say that burnout catches up to you and what do you know - the people are right... So... What's the solution here? Again, in hindsight, this should have dawned on me sooner. I've put myself in a cage just because "well that's how I've seen other people do it". And I'm sure many people will agree with the idea that a shop/smallbiz/brand account should just be about the brand! I totally get it! But I've realised that's not for me. From this day forward, I'd like to work towards making the Moonlume social media spaces be about everything cute, colourful and fun. I'd like to create an environment where it's not just about "Moonlume the art and products", but a place for everything that has inspired me, a place where I can share my favourite video games and artists with you, a place that isn't just a spotlight for me, but a spotlight for everything and everyone that made me fall in love with the cute and colourful aesthetics of this world. And I'd like to try and just have fun with social media again! It's been so long since I've been genuinely excited about making posts, yet here I am thinking "ohh I should take cute colourful layout pictures of my old 3DS and ask people if they're still using theirs!!". It is so relieving to feel excited again. Even typing this out feels like a rock being lifted from my heart.

And don't worry - the heart and soul of Moonlume is not going away. The colour explosion you see on my profile? That won't be changing! That is the vibe I'm going to keep here. Just with more variety, and less pressure on myself :)

HEALTH ISSUES

I mentioned that there are multiple reasons why I've become incredibly slow at releasing new designs. One of those is that I'm genuinely swamped with work all the time - running Moonlume is 95% emails, admin, customer service, etc. (I've been stuck in a "too much work for one person, not enough work + income for two people" stage for a long time now and I'm still trying to figure that one out.) I may not have much new creative work to show for it, but I DO have quite a few announcements to make soon! Opportunities for art I've already made kept coming up, so I've been prioritising those. The main reason, however... My joints. Ohh, my fail joints... For the last 3-4 years my wrist has been declining, or at least I thought it's just my wrist - it may be all my joints. Getting any answers from doctors as a "totally healthy" 30 year old has been frustrating - I still don't know what's wrong, scans have been booked and then lost, "oh just do stretches", "just wear a brace", "just need to rest". I listened to their generic advice at first, but considering that my hand was in pain almost all day yesterday, without me doing anything, I don't think rest is gonna save me here :/ All I can do is continue bugging them until they give me some answers. Until then... I have to work around my joints screaming at me. All this hit me really hard, because over the last couple of years, I've been trying to accept that I will no longer be able to draw the way I used to. Which sucks. I learned to do something I'm happy with and now I can't do it anymore. The work I used to make is just too detailed for me to tackle now - every set of designs would take about 4-5 days of intense drawing, and, apparently, I've also been holding the pen wrong since childhood which put extra strain on my wrist?? I've tried to unlearn this and couldn't... Holding a pen any other way is alien to me lol. But yep, that checks out - sometimes even writing grocery lists gets painful towards the end of the list, which takes like 5min. Or, sometimes, lifting a mug "wrong" sends lightning through my whole hand. So... How can I move forward with this? I doubt my joints are going to get any better, but I still want to continue running Moonlume. Besides using old designs for new products (not very exciting, I know, but people want them and that has helped so much - we are saving up for a family and I'm thankful for any income I can get!), creatively, I think I'd like to start calling myself less of an illustrator, and more of a product/stationery designer? A mouse doesn't strain my hand as much, depending on the day anyway, and I've been able to release at least something new with simple shapes recently - like my “You can never have too many stickers” sticker book! I'm really glad it's been well received, I've just gotten a second batch of these books in, it made me hopeful that there could still be a future for me in the world of stationery if I just change things up. Yes, I will forever be sad that I can no longer tackle the dreamy, detailed designs anymore. I had a lot of sketches and ideas ready to go, I had goals and skills I wanted to reach for... But I've been grieving this for way too long now and I want to learn to let go and move on.

FINAL THOUGHTS

So... Yeah. Everything I've just said, that cocktail of emotions and problems, it was really affecting my mental health over the last few years. I've been stuck in an endless cycle of disappointment in myself. The shame over not doing enough, not making new things fast enough, or as interesting/meaningful as other people, on top of struggling to let go of past failures and getting frustrated with joint problems... all that made me develop some really messy feelings towards both myself and my work. There were points where I was fantasising about burning it all down just to have a fresh start. It was bad :( BUT! With a clearer head and armed with perspective from people I love, I can say this: I AM proud of what I've made so far! I no longer look at my work and loathe it like I did for a while. Looking back, damn, that was a super unhealthy perspective and I'm glad I can recognise it now. And even though, thanks to my fail joints, I'm no longer able to make things the way I used to... I'm learning to accept this and I'm looking forward to the future. I'm excited to talk more about things I love, excited to make the Moonlume social media space be more varied and give it a breath of fresh air! Posting about my work/products all the time also left very little room for discussion and chatting with you guys, and I miss the feeling of community, so I'm excited to make this a livelier space! That doesn't mean that the art part of Moonlume is going anywhere - it's still my beloved little shop, and I'll still be making things for (hopefully!!) many years to come, just at a slower, much more comfortable and sustainable pace. ♥

Thank you so much for reading this and hearing me out. The support I've received from everyone here over the last 8 years has been genuinely invaluable - my head spins daily from the thought that my little creations have had the chance to travel the whole world thanks to you... It's truly magical. I hope that with this new chapter I can reconnect with the community once more, and move on to a brighter future! Love you all! ♥

Hi, I'm sorry if this is a weird question, but you're The Master Guy, so I thought I'd check.

I vaguely remember a paragraph from dw wiki about a novel or a novel idea where a writer suggested to make doctor x master canon, but was met with a murderous stare from his? supervisor? I can't remember the writers' name, I remember the quote about "murderous stare", and I think that the novel either was never published or changed completely it's concept (I also think that this was before 2005, but I'm not sure).

Does this ring any bells for you? I'm desperatly trying to find it, I think the info was put in the "trivia" section of a dw wiki article that I don't remember the title of. It's possible that I completely made this up, but I have a very vivid memory of seeing this on tumblr and going through tags... Any help with finding this would be appreciated, I can't get this out of my head

yes!! you're talking about a war of the roses inspired novel pitched by David A. McIntee, where the master and the doctor were supposed to be ex spouses. Sadly it got scrapped by yeah ok Gary Russell's death stare but mostly because BBC would have never let him do it 😔 my roman empire. I'll never have my fiveainley divorce novel. Here's David A. McIntee talking about it

[ladysavich]

Hellooooo!! I know I havnt been as online as I used to, that's because I am trying to lower my tumblr screen time. I was on tumblr like 90% of the time so i had to fix that a little.

I love the way the show depicted his relationship with that table tennis/ ping pong guy. 

(I don't remember his name so I am just gonna call him “ping-pong Pongo” please someone tell me his real name, cuz I will continue calling him pingo untill then. 😭)

Cool joe is like the “cool” big brother and pongo is the copycat younger bro that the parents spoiled

Is part of a rock band apparently????

Probably the only one that can really sing in the whole show

Best friends: Tiger, Rasta, shakes

Tiger and him talk alot about music and tigers past with Uragiri as his coach

Tiger has stolen so many of CJ's combs

Def have a bunch of inside jokes on him

Knows how to play guitar, piano and the triangle

Flirty

Very supportive teammate and is always on big bo's, tiger's and Dancing rasta's side no matter what.

Knows what he wants and doesn't like people throwing things he loves under the bus

loves to party

Also loves his vacation time, like no one can interupt his vacation (apart from when Shakes's community centre was about to get demolished)

DO NOT EVER DISRESPECT HIS MUSICAL IDOLS.

I can see him as a cool uncle instead of a father figure

Def the closest to Dancing rastas kids and taught Thampo how to play the guitar.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed reading this and let me know if you want anything specific to read 💖

i get a lot of asks about what fic recs i have and i am in fact compiling a list (i discovered most of them from alighterwood) but right now my favorite fic that i have been following is The Buzzard by FlightL3ss_Bird1029 on ao3 and it needs its own post specifically because i am that in love with it

it's an au where Tim doesn't become Robin and instead, Steph takes up the mantle. It has a prologue called Fledge that had me hooked from the beginning.

Fledge's description:

"When Jason Todd died, Tim took it upon himself to find a way to save Batman from his dark spiral of violence. Maybe if things had gone differently Tim would have offered himself up to take the Robin mantle and work alongside his hero. Unfortunately, Tim was too busy running his parents' company after the untimely death of his mother. But he knew how to be useful, and other opportunities presented themselves for him to do just that. He felt a little bad about helping to kidnap Damian, but decidedly less bad about helping Steph become a hero. He just hoped that his use wouldn't run out before getting to help his Robin."

The Buzzard's description:

"After a difficult year (for many reasons) Tim goes back to Gotham to help Jason Todd reconnect with his family. Whether Jason wanted that or not, well, Tim had time to wear him down. Between the tutelage of Deathstroke and Lady Shiva, he was well equipped to handle himself as Jason's equal and hit Gotham's vigilante scene as the Buzzard. His parents were dead and the lonely cavity in his chest kept growing every day, but it didn't matter. Tim's mission could and would succeed despite his personal feelings and failures. He was fine and he had a job to do."

Everyone is so well written in this and I think about it constantly. The Buzzard currently has 10 chapters, 103,528 words. I don't usually rec fics until they've finished but this one is always on my mind, so I had to

[almondcroissantsandink]

something something if they had found each other earlier

[mellosdrawings]

How are Vil's fans (and Leona's fans, as I'm sure he have some) with the n2 team? Have they had a big reaction to the fact that it's a polyamorous relationship? How does Jamil deal with this attention?

Do the Asims know about their relationship? I mean, I think Vil as a public figure and Leona as a prince would draw attention.And how does Jamil's family react? I think they want Jamil to be happy, but they're afraid of what the Asims might do. And I think they expected Jamil to end up with a servant (I'm using the reasoning that Viper is Jamil's father's last name, but his mother also seems to be very used to being a servant, so she must be from a servant family of the Asims, less important than the Vipers) or at least a commoner and lower class person than Jamil's current boyfriends.

For now I'll only answer for Vil's fans. The Asim and the Viper reactions will be coming sometime soon.

Vil dropped the news little by little. Leona and Jamil in the background of more relax pics, a couple dance sessions with Jamil, inconspicuous things. Just to get his fans used to their sight.

The he dropped hints, bigger and bigger, until the reveal. Aside from the few fans who are far too into parasocial relationships and are salty about Vil dating coz that means they have no chance anymore (not that they had any), it went relatively fine. They took one look at Leona and went "Yup, our Queen deserves a prince, good for him good for him."

The thing that surprised Vil though is that his fans latched onto Jamil more than Leona. After all as you said Leona is a public figure. They know him. Jamil though doesn't even post pics of himself on Magicam. He's a total mystery. They know he's a dancer so they try to check music videos (useless), they try finding his magicam (they don't), and eventually someone finds out those two pics taken at the Tapis Rouge event (which doesn't help much coz they still don't know who he is lol)

The mystery actually helps fans ease into it. They're just so obsessed with finding who Jamil is that they forget to (maybe) be upset about their Queen's love life.

As for Jamil... he just doesn't deal with the attention. He's not much on socials so he doesn't care, and despite being eye candy he isn't all that charismatic so people don't pay much attention to him. He got cornered by a few hardcore fans who miraculously managed to recognise him and he just plastered his best customer service smile until they left him alone. He's dealt with worse than pushy fans before. He might not be used to being the center of attention, he's still good at dealing with stressful situations.
