oh!! as a jada lover, have we seen any of her art in the story yet? if not, what kind of art does she make? what artists (if any) are her major influences?

we've seen her painting a few times but i don't think we've seen any of her completed art! she tends to throw away her paintings as soon as she finishes them because their primary purpose is being a cathartic release of emotion, so it's not something she wants to look at regularly. sometimes her dad poaches them from the trash and hides them in the garage because she might want them someday 🥲 but she usually doesn't even wait for them to dry, so they get all messed up in the trash. the only ones she keeps or gifts to other people are landscape paintings which she does mostly for practice. she's also done small paintings of her friends and given them as gifts!

i wish i could go into detail about her influences, techniques, preferences, etc. but i sadly know nothing about art, let alone painting 😭 all i can say is her paintings tend to be more textured and... idk.. chunkier?? fjksjds because when she's in the zone she kinda slaps the paint on there really thick

since i have no artistic talent myself, i have to work with what i've got, which is just sims screenshots and photoshop... these are some of my favorite "jada paintings"!!

she trashed all of these when she was done :( which is really a shame because elaine would've loved that one

Storytelling Secrets

I was tagged by @nocturnalazure and @mmmatchasims! Thank you both for thinking of me and sorry it took me so long to get to!

I have been on hiatus for an egregiously long time now, but I'm delighted that somebody still remembers the BPR I am working on!

Honestly the first secret is that... there aren't really any secrets. I tend to be a bit too thorough with things so if I try to plan my story too far ahead, I simply will never get around to actually writing it. So I have a very general idea of the arc for the generation and the characters are quite fleshed out. But then when I drill down into the details for the plot, I write a scene, plan out the poses, and shoot and publish it basically right away. Where I left off is pretty close to the end of the piece I have outlined so there isn't really much else in my notes that I haven't already written and published.

I do however have ideas and ✨vibes✨ that I generally want to incorporate for future bits (if I ever get there, welp). So if I ever do manage to finish the first generation, I'm excited for the next one because I intend to give it a kind of gothic mystery/dark academia vibe. None of the plot has been determined so that is very subject to change, but this is basically the one real secret I have!

Before I got busy and rabbit-holed all the way into a new hobby, I actually was working on a scene. I went in-game and blocked out all of the poses and everything, but I never got to go back in and actually shoot it 💀 That scene is also a rather difficult and un-fun part of the story for me, which is also definitely part of the block, so I might actually go back and rewrite it completely.

In terms of actual story happenings, there will be at least one oopsie-baby!

Also—this is just a sims storytelling secret, specifically—Violet and her partner Alli are supposed to be the wholesome queer elders who make us all believe in true love, but in-game they are constantly fighting and breaking up?? Even though they are compatible??? I have to keep cheating their bar back up when I'm shooting so they don't fight 💀💀💀

@mmmatchasims tagged me to share some storytelling secrets and you KNOW I cannot keep my mouth shut hehe

Gen 5 is an anime. It is based on an extremely specific anime genre, it has an OST, this is the OP and this is the ED. If you know me you know where this is going. I am not subtle. I am so excited.

There's no romance for Aria in her gen. I'm sorry if that's your favourite part of legacies. But Aria's kind of got more important things going on, and she's only 16! She's got a whole life ahead of her!

I have very intense arachnophobia. I have made some Mistakes.

Some characters are meant to be parallels to people from gen 1, and a glimpse into what they could have been if they made different choices. Some characters are from gen 1.

There's a beach episode :)

thank you @waaneco! <3

tagging @aries-sims @clumsyteddy @mmmatchasims @simsandgiggles

A person’s favorite color, favorite animal, and favorite flavor of ice cream can say a lot about them when considering the answers as a whole. Some prime examples I’ve heard are:

~ Silver, Artic Wolf, and Mint Chocolate Chip.

~ Pink/Yellow, Putu Bird, and Cotton Candy.

~ Light Brown, Tree Kangaroo, and Rum Raisin.

~ Green, Pig, and Cookie Dough.

Mine are:

~ Yellow/ Green/ Turquoise

~ Capybara, Fox, Shiba and Cats.

~ Strawberry ice cream

Thank you @kissalopa @silwermoon-sims 😘

Storytelling Secrets!! 🔥🌼

I was tagged by @mmmatchasims and I tag anyone who sees this and has a story!!! Thank you for tagging me and I will immediately be catching up with the Dreams

We're barely into Carnelian's gen rn, so I have a LOT

We are going to meet Tourmaline! Everyone is going to meet Tourmaline :)

We're going to learn a LOTTTT more about the Sages/the history of spellcasters and magic in this gen. This is very much a world building gen!

Pay super close attention to the magic colors I use for each character!!! Every single color choice with magic is extremely calculated, and will be very important in gens 4-5

Curses are a thing we're gonna explore!!! How they happen, and how to break them! There's already a curse that has been around in the story for an extremely long time, and it's going to get solved towards the end of gen 5. Curses can happen to anyone and don't have to come from a malicious spell :)

There's a lot of deal making happening behind the scenes :) the dead love to make deals with the living

I'm hoping to work on some gen 4 scenes soon, but between not having had any free time for the past month and a half, and my game being super broken and me not having the mental energy to fix it, idk when that's gonna happen 🥲 I do have an idea for some edits tho so maybe I'll try to do that soon

storytelling secrets!

thank you @sparkiekong @feroshgirlsims @windermeresimblr & @swallowprettybird for tagging me!! 💖⭐️

i feel like most people have done this tag at this point because i was super late to doing this, so feel free to ignore if you have already done this one, but i’ll pass the torch to anyone who wants to do it + @mmmatchasims @igglemouse @dandylion240 & @queeniecook 🤠

grant delivers the verbal smackdown of the century to a particular person in his life that really deserves it

speaking of grant and family matters, his secret sibling is slightly less secret than he originally thought

death!

idk if this counts but the plot relies on a bit of a time skip, so in the near future, you should expect that time skip to happen. i think of it as season one and season two, and season two starts a little bit ahead of where season one ends :)

a potential romance partner will win over grant with a very crucial and unexpected act of kindness

I was tagged by @mmmatchasims, thank you! ^.^

I realized I just did the other one here so I'll just add the second one here:

It's cute as heck and I love it. Anybody else who wants to try it can consider themselves tagged. Tag me so I can compliment you!

[ancenth-archive]

for the oc asks!! carnelian: 🎭🌪️☄️ and topaz: 💖🌱💢 hehe <3

thank you Arin!!

🎭 MASKS - do they act differently around certain people? what's different between the way they act around friends, family, strangers, etc.?

Carn has a few different "selves"! Around his family, especially his sister, he is very "everything is going great and I'm achieving all of my goals and dreams" and pretty serious and focused, there's a bit of competition between him and Topaz. In the magic community, he Tries to present as this know-it-all prodigy, but his knowledge doesn't even scratch the surface of how deep magic goes (which isn't really his fault; this only got introduced to his family with his parents, and Callie's somewhat wary of it). And then around his friends, they see him for the insecure disaster who feels like he's failing everything and can't get anything right.

🌪️ TORNADO - what is the biggest change you've ever made to them? how have they changed from their original version?

ooh I had to actually look at my notes for this one! WAAAY back before I had settled on the route the BPR was gonna take, there wasn't any magic in gen 4! Or at all really! So I guess the biggest change was when I completely threw the rules for the gen out the window, decided that the spouse was not a doctor, and decided he doesn't get to be happy :) (tbh gen 4 was EXTREMELY undeveloped for a long time bc i was obsessed with gen 3 and then obsessed with gen 5, so it took me a bit to even formulate it in the first place!)

☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?

Spellcasters assume he's just like his practically famous mother, and is able to realm walk. That one's a sore subject. Non-magic people assume he's a bit pretentious, particularly about art. They're kinda right lol

💖 SPARKLING HEART - are they a subtle or a showy lover?

EXTREMELY SHOWY!! Topaz and her wife are extremely sappy lesbians who need everyone to know how in love they are

🌱 SEEDLING - what is their most vivid memory from childhood?

When she and Carn stole a spellbook from Watermelon when they were about 8 or 9 and tried some of the more powerful spells, which backfired and ended up setting the backyard on fire. No one got hurt! But they got a very long lecture from both Watermelon and their mom about taking magic seriously.

💢 ANGER - what are some habits they have that will take some getting used to?

Topaz kinda does whatever she wants and has no filter; while Carn is a bit more serious and thinks everything through meticulously, she does whatever comes to mind, as soon as it comes to mind. This drives Carn absolutely insane, especially because, when he compares himself to her, her life is going a lot better!

🧡🧡🧡🧡

[softpine]

i love these types of scenes because they get the least notes but the most interaction, and that's the most inspirational & motivating thing to me, so i want to say an extra big thank you 💖 anyway let the sadness commence

wellllll if jada saw this vision, it means asa did die, at least in the medical sense of the word. she doesn't see visions of grievous injuries, she only sees death. but we know from past experiences that when asa goes traveling, his body continues to breathe and his heart continues beating even though he has zero brain activity and thus should be dead. so we'll just have to wait and see how that factors into this situation 😌 either way, the emotional devastation everyone around him will feel because of this is... yeah. it's a lot :( the consequences of this decision go deeper than "will he or won't he survive?" because even if he does survive, he will have to contend with the fact that everyone will think he took his own life on purpose. he's already been fighting to get more privacy and trust from his parents, but after this......... man.... :/

@bitchyybabyy400 that's a really good question which i unfortunately can't answer yet :P what i can say though, is that jada's visions have been very consistent! she's only ever seen 3 flashes of "information" leading to someone's death (no dialogue). she sees the vague location, the method of death, and the person's face during/after death. everything else, she extrapolates from the scene, or she only learns it in hindsight from the news or from talking to others. so it will be really interesting to see exactly what she knows!

also omg i was so worried the content warning would spoil it and everyone would be able to guess what was about to happen, but i obviously couldn't post this one without a warning. i'm glad to know it didn't ruin the post for you!

fjskdjs i know, i've never had so few words make such a big impact!! can you even imagine if i randomly started posting gameplay again and just dropped the story lmao like what do you mean frozen pines? this is frozen pines

@mmmatchasims oh good point!! especially now that jada and alisa have had their big confrontation, they might actually work together... or maybe not, you never know with them :P thank you!! 💖

fjskdjsdj imagine if i really did kill my main character off. permanently. and this is how i treated the situation lmaooo that would probably be taking the "kill your darlings" advice a little too literally... in all seriousness though, i hope the stakes of the situation still feel real, because there absolutely WILL be consequences for this, even if it's not necessarily death!
