- ... and then she spat the polenta straight into my face, and giggled!

Noor was sharing the adventures of trying to give her newest grandchild, little Simadhne, solid food.

- Like mother like daughter, Eira said, because I remember Areth doing exactly the same a long time ago.

- Well, to my defense, I don't like polenta, Areth tried to say.

- You ungrateful child, Noor laughed. Little Simadhne will teach you a lesson or two about the injustice of the world, I'm sure. Now hush off and get your vegetables so I can have a private talk with your auntie.

- She will become a wonderful mother, Eira commented. She is so much like you. It must be wonderful to have her so close.

- Yes, things have turned out so well for our family. I'm really happy for her. How are things with Khara? Any hope for a grandchild?

- Not that I know of, but you know, it's still early, they just got married.

- Do you think they might stay? Or do you think she will follow Samuel back to Kastanea?

- I don't know. Samuel is now the rightful owner of Kyria Figélia's house, but he will still need to work. They can't live on his savings forever. So I am a bit worried.

- And Bansabira, any news there?

- Nope, still single and living at home. She is filling her days with artwork and studies, but she needs a family. I've suggested a few candidates, but she is not interested. I worry about her.

- Hmmm.

- Is that what our lives going to be from now on Noor? Worrying constantly about our children? Even as grown ups?

- Probably, Noor laughed. But at least Areth and Phaidros are doing well and are both married with children now. Tychon is still living at home, but he is surprisingly popular with the ladies, despite the fact that he is a real slob. I honestly don't understand what they see in him, but I will not be surprised if he gets married early. And he has a good job in construction, so he will be all right.

- And Myrto?

- Oh Myrto, my little heart. Eira, she is really special. Of course they all are, but she is one of a kind. So lighthearted, so funny and quick-witted. Still innocent, yet open to the world. She reminds me of myself at her age. She is a dreamer, but she is still young, she will be fine. I hope. At least at the moment I'm not worried about her. But...

- But what?

- Honestly, I am really worried about Teo and Mpatíni. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something going on between them.

- We've all experienced some marital disagreements, don't you think it will pass?

- No, this is not a simple marital quarrel. The don't talk, they seem to avoid each other. It's been developing over years now. Ever since Iliouloùsta came to us, but I don't believe it has to do with her. They both seem to love her very much. We all do.

- Whatever it is, there is not much we can do about it, is there? They will have to work it out for themselves.

- You are right of course. I'm just sad to see them so unhappy.

- What about you Noor, are you happy?

- Me? Yes of course! What kind of question is that?

- I mean, we've been talking about our children back and forth now, but what about you, are you happy with your life?

- What do you mean? Why shouldn't I be happy? All my children are doing well, well most of time anyway, so...?

- Yes I know, but what about your life? Do you feel satisfied with what you have achieved? Do you think life is worth living?

- Eira, you always complicate things! Of course life is worth living, what a silly thing to say! I'm fine, the family is fine, you are fine. It's just small worries. It's normal. Hey, wait! Are you not feeling well? Is there something wrong with you that you are not telling me?

- No, no, I'm okay. It's just... Well sometimes I feel that something is missing in my life. Never mind, maybe it will be better if I get grandchildren. Something to focus on. At least Polykarpos is dating

- Oh is he now?

- Yes there seems to be a new girl every week, so I don't know if he will settle down or anything like that. We will just have to wait and see. I had hopes for Khara and Samuel, but...

- What about Yousif?

- Yousif? Kyrios Eláïom? What about him?

- Are there any news?

- No, he is still in Kastanea according to Samuel. I don't think he will ever come back here. The long journey... And he is not a young man after all.

- You miss him.

- Miss him? I really don't... Okay he is a nice man, and I miss the conversations.

- Eira, surely it must be allowed to admit that you like him? Even if you're well into adulthood, it's okay to fall in love, isn't it?

- No, my goddess, in love?! Ugh, how embarrassing. That's for young people. Stop teasing me.

- I'm not teasing. You are in love, you miss him and you want him in your life. That's why you are asking all these silly question about life worth living and such high-flying philosophical stuff. Be honest! If not with me, so at least with yourself!

- Don't be silly!

- Just think about it. Send him a message! Maybe he feels the same? Maybe he will give up everything in Kastanea just to be with you?

- Oh Noor, you are such a romantic dreamer. That will never happen.

- Sister, have a little faith. Contact him. What is there to loose?

- I'm just realistic.

- More like fatalistic.

- Look! There is Kyria Anaktoría! Let's say hello!

- The fact that you are avoiding the topic proves my point.

- Phff..

Hello, I was wondering from where you got the the Herald scroll in your latest story post?

Hello Anon, I'm guessing you mean the above item from this post?

It was specially made for this post, and is not available for download unfortunately. The base was this item by Severinka, recolored by me, and then cleverly adapted for CAS accessory and poses by my friend @simstomaggie.

Happy Simblr Gratitude Day!

Today I would like to celebrate this sims day of positivity by sending out a big thank you to everyone in the sims community!

Thank you to everyone who makes amazing stories with compelling characters, whose updates I look forward to everytime!

Thank you to everyone who makes absolutely stunning historical (and non-historical) cc, poses and mods that make the game 1000% times better to play. My game would be so empty without all of your hard work!

Thank you to everyone who doesn't make content, but who takes part in the community all the same. Your views, likes, comments and reblogs mean everything to me and everyone else, and we're all so happy you're here.

And thank you @armoricaroyalty for making simblr gratitude day happen ^w^

Finally I'd like to mention some simblrs whose content I've personally really enjoyed this past year - thank you all of you for all your hard work:

[aheathen-conceivably]

Hi Alexis! I was just wondering if you could recommend other amazing historical simblrs? <3

Hello, Nonny! Thank you so much for asking me! But my, my, my, this is a difficult one! There’s so many lovely historical storytellers here both past and present as well as all of the CC creators, lookbook makers, mod geniuses, builders, challenge creators, and just general vibe makers, each of whom make this little historical simming community amazing.

So to make this question a little easier on myself, I’m going to limit my answer to historical simmers who are still either actively or semi-regularly posting gameplay/stories here. It is inevitable that I will forget some people so please, please tag ourself in the comments so that Nonny and everyone else can go check out your historical pixels as well!

So in no particular order, historical story tellers that I see on my dash and who’s content I love: @heartblobs @greatbritishsimchallenge @cattermelons @history-of-sims @historysims4 @lovecidik @wylankinnie @sims-half-crazy @paperdolls-and-pixels @kyriat-stories @ottersinhats @stargazingsims @simblrangel @theroyalthornoliachronicles @somanysimdays @scythesms @sister-magnolia @cassimopeia @shelbycompanylimitedd @come-hell-or-high-water @taanoir @alainas-sims @sasaofastora @historicalfictionsims @plumbobpuddingmodel @icedwatersupremacy @blu-sims @sinclairesimblr (who’s on hiatus but who’s story is amazing) @antiquatedplumbobs (another simmer on Haitus who I’m hoping returns soon 😉) and of course @pixelnrd (who’s story is on indefinite hiatus, but well worth reading from the start)

Whew. That was quite the list, but still I know that I forgot some people so please don’t be shy about leaving your name in the comments for us! 💖

About Me - Simblr Addition

Thanks for tagging me @antiquatedplumbobs! Talking about myself is difficult, but let's give it a go!

Your 3 Traits: Perfectionist, Dog Lover, Creative

Your Aspiration: Renaissance Sim 

In Game World You'd Live In: Hmmm, this is tough, because I do love to travel but I think my hometown would be Copperdale. I like an old, small-town feel.

Favorite Townie: What's a townie? Kidding... I never play with townies, but I do feel a connection with the Pancakes. In fact, I have some neighbors that remind me of them, a lot.

Most Used Pack: Cats and Dogs, hands down.

Favorite Decor Object: Oh gosh. Um. I do love all the indoor plants. That rubber tree plant probably makes it into 80% of my builds.

Something You Want In the Game: Cars would be amazing, but I don't know that it's what I want the most. I really wish we could place different foundation heights right next to each other.

What Color Is Your Plumbob: It's probably green, maybe with the slightest tinge of yellow creeping in. I have my 2nd cup of coffee here and I'm dreaming of lunch.

I'm going to tag a few, but if you want to play then go ahead! Who am I to tell you can't? @kyriat-stories, @deathbypufferfish, @cowplant-snacks, @historysims4, @simstomaggie

You Make Me Fly 💕𝆕𝆕𝆕💕

(Tensions - Chapter 12 about The First Ones is starting on Tuesday!)

[kyriat-sims]

I got one of those asks (thank you @taanoir and @sims-half-crazy ❤️) that said: “List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ❤️” Since I’m so late to the party and most of my friends have done this already I’m not going to forward it to anyone. (But if you want to do it, just go ahead!)

It is tempting to do one of the active characters in my running story, but then I would have to disclose what will happen, and I absolutely don’t want to do that!

So I chose to do Won Ngo, a side character from previous chapters, and uncle to Noor and Eira, the present heirs and main characters. One reason why I chose him is that I was really tempted to let him be the main focus of the story, but that would have been a totally different story of course. 😊

So, here we go

He never got to explore the jungle, which was his great dream (ambition) in life. He chose to stay in Oasis Springs in stead, and build a new camp with his childhood friend Lea. It is not very often that Stone Age cavemen chose love over their personal interests and drive, so that says something about how special he is. The fact that he also has the noncommittal trait, makes his “sacrifice” almost unbelievable

He is one of the best hunters in Oasis Springs. His talent was apparent from childhood. One of the reasons for his success would probably be his exceptional listening and observation skills - which he also uses in his relations with people.

He doesn’t like to brag about his own achievements, nor talk about personal views. He is very polite, discrete and friendly, but still very firm when decisions are to be made. If he lived in modern times he would be the perfect diplomat or ambassador.

He went through a depression that lasted for years, that not many sims know about. It was set off by the grief over many miscarriages and children’s deaths he and Lea experienced. In this period of his life he came extremely close to his eldest daughter Bils. She has the spellcaster gene like her mother, and I believe she healed and helped him through this difficult time, in a way that nobody else could have done.

He really dislikes parties. Out of politeness he will always come if invited, but probably leave as soon as he can. Unnoticed, of course. He is very charming and witty, so people usually flock around him at social events, whilst Won himself prefers to be alone, or in quiet surroundings with his wife and kids. 

Thank you for reading! ❤️

Check In Tag ✔️

I was tagged by no one, saw this on @kyriat-sims ♥

GET TO KNOW ME

Thank you for the tag, @sasaofastora!! 

Rules: tag 9 people you would like to get to know/catch up with.

Last song: It 'll always be The Show Must Go On by Queen. I love Freddie Mercury!

Last tv show: My favorite was Game of Thrones as the series was based on the original book A Song of Ice and Fire. But I like all the historical TV Shows. I think the last one I saw was Domina about the Roman Empress Livia Drusilla.

Currently watching/listening to: The Boys. I like how this series dialogues with reality. Homelander is fucking crazy !!!

Currently reading: Ayla, a filha das cavernas (The Clan of the Cave Bear) and any prehistory books I can find (fictional or not).

Current obsession/hyperfixation: The Sims 4, youtube simmers and the Tumblr stories. Even though I don't have the time or enthusiasm to post often, I'm playing the Legacy History Challenge and always following other simblrs. I think it will take me 200 years to complete the challenge and all game achievements, read about the historical period, improve my study of the english language, learn how to create more historical custom content and finish what I've already started. It's a lot of things !!! hahshshahsha

I’ll tag @300yearschallenge, @taanoir, @andrasteisolde, @padmendes, @kyriat-stories, @disneyhistorychallenge, @morbidgamer, @simsparrows and @historicalsimslife.

I make mine the words of @sasaofastora: Of course, feel free to ignore the tag, and as always, it’s nice to see you all around!

Have a good game!!!
