welcome to 2024

thank you for the tag, @dumplingtrait!

what’s your resolution for your simblr?

♡ post a lookbook here and there! maybe with a simself and more sims based on anime characters (Mikasa Ackerman, Tohru Honda, Misa Amane) ♡ get to at least generation three in the Alegría legacy! that'd be the furthest i would have ever gotten in a legacy challenge lol. on my old simblr, i technically got to gen 3 in the bridges legacy, but i never really got to play with the gen 3 heir. gen 3 in the joy of life challenge is about turning into a vampire, but i'm not really a fan of occults in the sims 4, so i'll just have a cool goth kid be the heir for that gen ♡ try out a zombie challenge! i still need to find a set of rules to follow, but i found a mod that i reallllyy want to play with. i tried the zombie aftermath challenge in the sims 3 and i loved it so much, i wish i got to make it further than gen 1

what do you want from the sims franchise?

♡ i think some more skills and hobbies for kids would be nice, as well as more things in general for the elder sims ♡ the ability to copy and paste makeup for several outfits!!!!!!!!!! please ♡ cars would be nice, maybe only in some of the worlds tho

any other new years resolutions?

♡ take more pictures of my cute outfits cuz i look so cute but i need to learn how to pose ♡ find a hairstyle that suits me?????? i'm struggling so much ong, i need to redye it back to a gingery color too. the color faded out lol ♡ read at least 40 books (that's my goal on goodreads but ik a lot of that is gonna be mangas) ♡ discover more mussssiiiiiccccc, i love it so much ♡ keep in touch with my friends! ♡ start working out again!!!! over the summer, i played just dance as part of my routine and it was so much fun. i was gaining some muscle haha ♡ make $$$$$$$$$$ and continue to be mindful of microtrends. i think it's okay to be trendy, but i use them as a way to find new things i like! i still have and wear so many things from years and years ago

i had so much fun doing this! i tag: @linalinsims, @berrycactus, @lynnella, @limeysims, @gaeulssimmer, @chechecocoleche, @hyliedavenport, @catfairysstuff, @miralure, and @rabbitwish

👬☎️🐻🧟📸, for the ask game?

Thank you for making me actually think about this stuff because god knows when I would have without the expectations of others

👬: Not quite sure how they met but it wasn't in college. They probably both ended up wanting to do the Freddy's business so William said "what if we don't compete?" It was at first just Henry as the tech genius he started teaching William stuff about animatronics as well. Henry, though, never picked up the business side of it no matter how much he wanted to.

☎: Ah, Phone Guy. I never thought about him that much. Like at all (I'm kinda glad he actually has a canon-ish name now because at least I don't have to think of one). All I really know is that Michael found a way to blame himself for this like he did Elizabeth's "kidnapping." Mike's logic for this is that if he hadn't taken that night shift, the man he later found out was named Ralph would have been okay. He was gonna retire but instead got retired from life. I kinda want to justify him being a ghost out there somehow, just for fun.

🐻(can't find a fucking zombie emoji):I'm assuming you mean the Mike and Henry one since there's no others witha zombie emoji. I'll use the Phoenix AU one because it's the one with the most developed background. Michael and Jeremy F. were dating and after the whole "getting scooped abd waking up on the sidewalk" thing he broke up with his boyfriend, not because he wanted to but because he thought that was the best way to keep Jeremy safe (Michael by this point believes that anyone close to him will actively suffer and/or die unless they cut ties, and if he has to be the one to do it he'll do it, even if it's reluctantly). He ends up living with Henry after this since Jeremy kept trying to visit and ask him why, so Michael kinda went to drastic measures: going completely missing. He remembered where Henry lived since the man hasn't moved since the years shortly after the Bite of 83 when Michael would try to seek shelter away from William at Henry's place.

📸: The animatronics caused a few disappearances when people would go into abandoned Fazbear locations and end up pissing off the ghost kids. So it's more like a rumor with some pretty damning evidence than fully knowing. Except for the time a customer in the Pizzeria Sim location pushed Michael's buttons enough for him to decide that this guy deserved a scare and took off his mask in from of the guy. Dude would never stop insisting the manager was a zombie but no one ever believed him. Michael never knew it but he inspired an indie sitcom on YouTube called "The Manager's a Zombie", probably the way he would have liked to be remembered.

What inspires your character story and design? Is there influence besides just liking how they look? Are you striving to tell a complete story or just tales (short story blurbs about their lives)? I struggle with wanting to add more when I haven't finished the stuff I have.

Also! Do you think you've advanced in your writing from say 5 years ago to now? Do you think you've improved?

I always wonder if I'm improving. I certainly wouldn't be writing what I do if not for positive (and not so positive) feedback from simblr and having a writing friend who shares my passion and vision for story writing.

Sorry if that's too many questions. Just curious to hear how others process. Thanks!

Oh, don't worry, you're not asking too much at all! :D

I'm gonna put it under the cut bc it's gonna be long, lol

So!

I don't think I was particularly inspired by anything other than the fact that John and Brian were from a previous, abandoned story. It was based on the game Organ Trail (think Oregon Trail but with zombies and other stuff, lol). They are very different from what they used to be; they weren't together for one thing (they were both straight!) and they were edgy. Brian especially, he was more of a doomsday prepper. John having long hair is a hold over from the story; he grew it out to cover his eye (severely damaged from a grenade blast), y'know that sort of thing. I dropped the story after a while because I lost interest in it. That and everyone involved died...

There's not really a big influence on how they look either. I kinda come up with what's good but also what's unique. I guess I'm not one of the ones who struggle making male sims. For a future story, I had to make some (like 7??) and I went to town on the random button until I found what I liked and shaped them from there.

As for stories? Over the years, I've went from being very long form to shorter stories. I guess tales is a better description. They do have some continuity like with John and The Werewolf, the dealings with Brian's aunt, John and Brian getting engaged. I know Bare Knuckle, a story where John fights a literal demon, sticks out like a sore thumb because of how bonkers it is, but I made the story because I thought it would be cool; it also pushed my pose making skills at the time. (It's clear that I made that for myself really... ^^;)

I'd get an idea and go "can I put either of these two in this situation? and how would they go about getting out of it? or make it worse? better?" etc. Would this be "canonical" or would it be an AU? It's fun for me to think like that. A lot of the time, I make it bc I wanna see it for myself, what kind of a take I have on certain tropes and plots and maybe someone else would too?

I feel like I've improved in the past 5 years. It's pretty evident in my earlier stories it was strictly dialogue and nothing else and thus, empty. It used to be so stiff, it's kind of embarrassing, but there's a reason why I left it as is and never went back to redo them. (That's key, I think). That and I can the progress of how I use to take screens versus now, how everything's laid out, the expressions, etc.

I've had my ups and downs writing -- I feel I'm kind of a tough sell with most of my stories for simblr. They're not serial (I do not have the attention span or energy to do this), not a really big cast... I could go on, but it'll come off as complaints and maybe whinging on my part more than anything else.

That and the content itself; John and The Werewolf in particular because those stories deals with things I don't really see too often. and y'know, the blood, torture, violence. it's just so messy. In fact, I don't really get too much of any feedback of any kind so I'm kind of out here doing my thing. I don't know who's actually reading what I put out or if it's even thought of at all. I just hope that they're a little entertained by it. (tho it wouldn't hurt for a recommend)

but I'm also extremely stubborn! I'll complain, but I'm gonna keep doing it. I have ideas and they're gonna exist and I love to see how things play out. Sometimes the boys surprise me and I surprise myself. :)

I got the pep in my step back I naturally have little pops and skips and hops a little bounce usually only in my left leg it's just how my walking animation is and I have it back I walked from my room to the kitchen this morning and I just started skipping and I was like oh omg wow I didn't even realize I've been walking around slumped like a zombie and have no life in me so that's pretty cool the way I just thought and talked about that made me think of debuffs and I suppose that's very accurate I wish we could see what buffs and debuffs we had maybe like the sims so you'd know exactly what's causing it and i wish we hae guis and stats thatd be so good why the fuck does tumblr just start autocorrecting my typing hella for no reason when i get super far into a ramble like it keeps randomly changing things into ima, rn, tho, and the words I'm typing are nowhere near close to those words this is gonna give me a little yellow icon and I'm gonna have to go do a fun activity to counter act it

Hinanami!

[im bad @ setting scenes >:[ the first part takes place @ the fountain]

Hajime couldn't focus on his game, how could he? Chiaki's had her head laid in his lap, concentrating on her game trying to beat her previous high score. Hajime's eyes kept shifting towards her, her occasional sniffles made him smile. He wanted this moment to last forever but it was getting late, they'd be kicked off of school grounds soon. "H-hey Nanami, I found this pretty cool cafe in Akihabara, would you, maybe, like to go with me?" he chuckled softly rubbing the nape of his neck. Chiaki hummed quietly, "It doubles as an arcade." Once she heard that she quickly turned her head to look up at him with stars in her eyes, "Really? I'd love to go, when! When! When!" She squirmed in his lap and giggled "Well we can go now but I doubt you'd want to go in your uniform, we should go home and change then meet up... If that's okay with you." Hajime's ears had turned red, maybe if she hadn't moved around so much in his lap he would've been able to keep it together. Chiaki shot up from his lap almost hitting him in the chin and turned to face him "I've never been very good at dating sims but I'll try my hardest to gain relationship points!"

"R-relationship points?! Wh-what are you talking about?"

"Well in every dating sim you get relationship points from dates you go on, I must've already raised enough friendship flags to start gaining relationship points." She gasps. "Unless there's actually a zombie apocalypse and this is just the filler! Now that I can handle."

"I have no idea what we're talking about right now."

"C'mon, we've got no time to lose."

She grabbed Hajime's hand and raced towards the school gate, relationship points? Dating sims? Hajime couldn't help it, he blushed at the thought of going on a date with Chiaki, what would he wear? What would he say? Should he bring flowers? His stomach churned, he was nervous.

They were outside of school property now, Hajime caught his breath "So, should I come pick you up? Or should we meet at the train station?"

"Let's meet at the station, it'll be more efficient that way. Bye now." She waved at him and started walking home, taking her DS out and walking, how does she not run into stuff? It's a mystery to him, he waved and watched her walk until she was too far to see, he pivoted and went home.

[Chiaki]

She threw her bag onto her bed and paused her game. She put her hands on her heart & blushed like mad, what would she wear? All she had was her uniform, merchandise and cosplay, what would normal girls wear? She thought about texting her classmates but then decided to trust what's dearest to her, video games. She booted up Kitty Powers' Matchmaker and Hunie pop on two monitors and started to play, after about 20 minutes she knew exactly what to do.

[Hajime]

Once he got home he flopped onto his bed, his mind was racing, what to do, what to do. He took off his uniform then stopped, he stared at his binder, would she mind? Would she care? Would she understand? He quickly put on a red long sleeve shirt, he felt plain in it so he put on a horde shirt on top, Chiaki probably plays The Horde...Right? He put on some loose jeans and as he was tucking his shirt in he remembered all those Tumblr posts about bisexual people tucking their shirts in, whatever, it doesn't matter. He finished cuffing his jeans and put on some converse, he tried sticking that one piece of hair down but no matter what he did it always shot back up.

Hajime: im walking to the station now

Chiaki: oki doki!! cant w8! >-< im omw 2!!

Soon enough he reached the station, he assumed she'd take a long time to get there but to his surprise she showed up two minutes later. Hajime's heart started racing, her cat thigh highs, her frilly skirt, her Resident Evil shirt, he felt as if his heart would explode and it almost did, Chiaki's hair was tied into two low pigtails, he didn't think she could get any cuter but there she is. Her jacket perfectly framed her breasts, he tried not to stare but his blush gave it all away. "H-hinata-kun? Do I look bad?" His staring must've made her self-conscious, he rushes to her side & hesitantly puts his hands on her shoulders. "I think you look perfect, not perfect like you're a god or something, BUT YOU'RE NOT UGLY, I've never seen you as ugly. Not that others do! I just think that- I'll s-stop talking." She giggled, "I understand, now let's go, my fingers are aching to play." She wiggled her fingers in Hajime's face.

Soon enough their train came, of course it was full, afterall it is a train to Akihabara, it's bound to be full. Hajime held the pole and held Chiaki close, she took out her handheld, muted it and played til they reached their destination.

(a/n: its considered rude to talk/make loud noise in trains in japan)

Hajime sighed a sigh of relief as he stepped off the train, having Chiaki pressed up against him drove him crazy. She turned to him "Lead the way Master Cheif!" She was beaming with excitment, Hajime chuckled and started walking towards the cafe before he audibly gasped, Chiaki intertwined their hands, she looked up at him and smiled, her smile was his kryptonite, he quickly turned away from her and sped up. "H-hey Hinata! Slow down! I can't keep up" Chiaki was tripping over her own feet and the cracks in the side walk, she puffed her cheeks at Hajime, which in his opinion only made her cuter. "I'm sorry Nanami, I just want to get there before they close yknow?"

"I get it, just slow down a bit." She chuckled and tilted her head at him.

They continued on, they didn't need to speak, just having each other around was enough. As they reached their destination Chiaki's eyes went wide, she could see all the games from the window, she bounced "Let's go Hinata-kun!" Chiaki dragged Hajime inside and once she stepped in her jaw dropped, she felt as if she was in a dream, she spun around, getting a good look at everything around her. She jumped onto Hajime "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Hajime hugged her tightly "I knew you'd like it here." "Like it? I love it? Let's go, c'mon" Chiaki dragged Hajime to the nearest game, he chuckled to himself, she's so quiet and reserved but when it comes to games, she's a completely different person. He thought to himself. Chiaki couldn't take her eyes off the screen, she was so focused that she had her tongue sticking out a bit in between her lips, Hajime wanted to poke it, but why? He had no reason to, he stared at her, he could barely focus on his own screen plus she was doing just fine without him, the flashing lights hitting Chiaki's soft skin made her seem unreal, the reflection of her screen in her eyes, the noises she'd make, it all made Hajime's heart flutter. "I'm gonna go get us some boba, what flavour do you want?" She stayed silent for a bit "Strawberry...probably." Her eyes didn't leave the screen, Hajime walked off to go get their boba. Once Hajime left, Chiaki felt lonely, why? He's still there, he just left to get some boba. Even though Hajime didn't do well with the game she still enjoyed his company, even if he was just standing their, but Chiaki didn't feel lonely for long, she soon felt two hands cover her eyes "Guess who?" She giggled and turned around, not caring about the game, Hajime handed her the boba and sipped on his "Wow, the games are great and so are the drinks" Chiaki held her cup with two hands and took a large sip. Hajime laughed to himself and leaned against the machine behind him, "I found DDR on the other side of the cafe, wanna have a competition?"

She gulped. "I'll wipe the floor with you!"

"Bring it on!"

They rushed to the DDR machine and discarded their empty cups, obviously Chiaki picked the hardest difficulty, Paranoia Survivor Max, hijinks ensued; Chiaki was getting a perfect score as always so Hajime decided to tickle her, it worked, she lost her combo & Hajime continued. Chiaki puffed her cheeks "Hajime, someone's stealing your phone!" Hajime quickly turned around and looked for his phone, Chiaki laughed as she continued to play, they decided to focus on their game however Hajime isn't the most graceful when it comes to DDR. Hajime ended up tripping on his shoelace and landed on top of Chiaki with a thud, he's seen enough anime to know that he's probably touching her breast or his face is in between her legs but no, this wasn't an anime. Even with Hajime on top of her Chiaki couldn't help but laugh, Hajime slowly lifted himself off the laughing girl. His hands were near her head, he was still on top of her but he didn't want to move, he's never heard her laugh like that, he bursted into laughter, he didn't care if people were staring, he was having fun, she was having fun. Chiaki started to snort, she tried stopping but the more she did the more she snorted, Hajime thought it was the most beautiful noise, cuter than her giggles, cuter than her hmph's, cuter than her sniffles, her unrestrained laughter was music to his ears. Once they both calmed down they got up off the floor and smiled at each other, they couldn't help it, it was so natural to them.

"I'm sleepy... Let's go home." She giggled softly as she grabbed Hajime's hand and laid her head on his shoulder. He put an arm around her and hugged her close, in that moment, he felt perfect, no need for a talent, no need to be an ultimate, no insecurities, no doubts, he felt perfect... With her.
