Saltbox: A Little Women Inspired Build

Download and details under the cut!

40x40 · Fully Furnished · CC Heavy, Included

The Saltbox style home is a New England staple. Built during the colonial period of American history, these homes were simple and functional.

One of the most famous colonial era homes is Orchard House, where Little Women author Louisa May Alcott lived with her parents and sisters, and was almost a character in the novel itself. To bring your cozy autumn to a close this year, I wanted to create a house inspired by the Alcott home, in all its eclectic warmth. Like Orchard House, this build is early colonial in architecture but mid-19th century in furnishing and decor. Where possible, I’ve tried to keep the appliances and plumbing off-the-grid, as a nod to the time period. It has a kitchen, dining, formal parlor, sitting room, mud room, three bedrooms, and a flexible attic space to stage all your childhood plays. This build is very CC heavy, but I have included a sortable CC list and folders this time which should allow you to only keep the Build CC and eliminate the Buy if you’d rather furnish it yourself CC-free.

Required/Recommended Packs:

Horse Ranch

High School Years

Cottage Living

Eco Lifestyle

did you know lily orchard is still delivering the worst takes ever known to man in animation

EDIT: her opinions got worse if you're just tuning in. she updated her review of the show and rated it worse, made an autism representation power level scale, and also went on a huge rant about laios.

she also headcanons ashley from the coffin of andy and leyley as autistic which blew me away because i've not seen that headcanoned by even a single other person

[lilyorchardstuff]

You know, I noticed something...

Solid Lily always, and I mean ALWAYS, personally targets:

.Rebecca Sugar - A non-binary, bisexual Jewish woman.

.ND Stevenson - A non-binary, queer, trans man.

.Dana Terrace - A bisexual woman.

.David Gaider - A gay man.

And her favourite media punching bags are Steven Universe, She-Ra, Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil, The Owl House, Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate III (and now, Arcane); works that champion diversity and inclusion, that always put marginalized people (LGBTQ+ people, people of color, ect) at the forefront of their stories. Yet, for a self-proclaimed, progressive leftist who claims to care about representation and stand against bigotry, I NEVER see Lily go after regressive reactionaries like Trey P*rker, M*tt Stone, Fr*nk Miller, J*hn Byrne, Thom*s Mahler, Americ*n McGee, John Carm*ck, Ethan V*n Sciver, the dev team behind H*tred, the dev team behind Post*l and so forth.*

*(Just for the record, I'm not telling anyone to "cancel" these creators. You can still enjoy their work. Plus, "cancel culture" isn't real BTW)

I have a feeling that Lily is either a barely closeted, far-right bigot pretending to be a woke progressive because she sees it as "fashionable" or is suffering from severe internalized misogyny and queerphobia.

Or both.

Apparently if you have 5 or more fruit trees you officially have an orchard.

I haven't got a single piece of fruit from this yard yet but from now on I will be referring to my back yard as "the orchard". Going to go have some tea in the orchard. Need to go rake the orchard. You get the idea.

Lily saying that Luz is a bad girlfriend during her depression arc and that Amity should've broken up with her for lying to her three times is appaling

Ignoring the obvious fact that the reason why Luz kept the third secret, being that she helped a dictator and was scared about how Amity would react when finding out does not make her a bad girlfriend in the slightest, Luz lies to Amity a total of two times before this.

And Amity knows that whenever Luz is lying to her or keeping a secret, it's because she's going through something very personal, and she confronts Luz on these things. Hell in reaching out Amity actually gets mad at Luz for lying to her, and when Luz does tell her what was going on Amity seems to instantly forgive her...cuz why wouldn't she? She understands what Luz is going through and shows clear support and empathy for her girlfriend. She knows that, when Luz lies, it's because there's something personal she's wrestling with.

And it simply flat out makes no sense for Amity to break up with Luz in TTT, both her established character and just. From a compeltely logical stand point. Luz makes it clear that the reason why she lied is because she thought that Amity and the rest of her friends would hate her if they knew the truth, and considering that Luz, ya know, helped a dictator, it's not particularly unreasonable for her to think that. Anybody with two braincells can see that Amity would understand why Luz lied, she, and I repeat, helped a dictator and thought she woild be hated for it, she's not a bad girlfriend for this and Amity would NEVER break up with her for this.

But Lily just ignores that and says that Amity should just get a new girlfriend, even though Luz has been nothing but loving and supporting towards Amity throughout the series and helped Amity grow and become a better person than she was before. She ignores outside context and frames Luz as a bad girlfriend when she's not.

Lily Orchard's Double Standards in Regards to Hunter

So one of Lily's critiques of Hunter is that it takes him "too long" to break from Belos' control (four episodes into his arc to be exact...which is not even that long. Like, at all). Ignoring how little water this critique holds by itself, time to bring up...

Zuko. I have not seen Avatar the Last Airbender (I probably should lmao) but from what I've heard Zuko and Hunter have many similarities to each other, with a few major differences setting them apart. And Lily is known to like Zuko quite a bit...

...so...when does Zuko break from Ozai? Why, (from I've been told) it's mid-season 3...

...So Hunter takes four episodes to break from Belos in a single season and Lily complains about it being "too long", but when it takes Zuko almost the entire series to do the same for Ozai, she doesn't complain...

...that's...interesting...Oh, but I'm not done yet with the Zuko comparisons. In Lily's white favoritism video, Lily gets on Hunter's ass for kidnapping and almost forced a bunch of teenagers into the EC (conveniently ignoring the fact that he realized his mistake and fixed it two minutes later).

...even though Zuko did FAR WORSE than Hunter, yet NEVER gets of his ass for that. Oh, and apparently, to Lily, Zuko was never a villain and was "just an abuse victim escaping an abusive situation", yet she never applies this same logic to Hunter for SOME REASON despite their many similarities???

Then there's Amity, a character in the same show as Hunter who also has some similarities to him, being a deliberate parallel to him. Bringing up Lily's complaint about Hunter taking "too long" to break from Belos, she, like with Zuko, doesn't apply the same critique to Amity for some reason...? Like, if you're going to complain about Hunter not breaking from Belos fast enough, why don't you complain about Amity not standing up to her mother quicker?

Hell, why don't you apply this to ANY character with and abusive parent?

....Oh, I know the reason why, actually; Hunter is an "angsty white boy", while Amity is a white girl and Zuko is Asian. The reason why Lily doesn't complain about these things for Amity and Zuko but she does for Hunter is because of his gender and skin color/ethnicity respectively. She's directly holding a double standard that she doesn't hold due to them not being "angsty white boys".

I've said it before, but Lily's critiques of Hunter are entirely biased around him being an “edgy white boy” and double standards like these clearly show that.

The House of the Orchard in Pompeii was a relatively small residence compared to some, but is notable for its exquisite frescoes depicting gardens with trees and ornamental plants; rendered with great precision and artistry throughout the Domus.

Excavated in the early 20th century, the house was first constructed in the 3rd century BC, but was subject to multiple rebuilds in its lifetime before being buried by Vesuvius during its final renovation in antiquity.

Hey, Lily. Since I know you search your own name on alt accounts. Let me say a few things:

.Steven Universe is a hopepunk masterpiece about loving yourself and loving others. It was never about Nazism, white supremacy, sexualizing minors or pacifism.

.She-Ra is a beautiful love story that does NOT promote abuse or incest.

.The Owl House got even more awesome as it became more serialized.

.Baldur's Gate III is one of this generation's greatest games and a worthy successor to Bioware's Baldur's Gate celebrated duology.

.Hunter, Astarion and N are NOTHING like Kylo Ren.

.Puss In Boots: The Last Wish is NOT a "rip-off of Kingdom Hearts."

.Fantasy action-adventure is awesome.

.The Last Jedi is the best Star Wars film alongside The Empire Strikes Back and both are better then any of the prequels combined.

Come on then. Send me an ask, I even have the anon option turned on.

Fight me, bitch.

Lily’s takes in Korra and Luz feel like a case of colorism.

Especially when they’re going through an arc of depression and trying to find the strength in their trauma.

Like… good god, how do you take Korra’s more brutal battles as Ryona? How do you act so unsympathetic to Luz in “Thanks To Them?”

It just reeks of fetishizing the dark skinned girl as strong inheritantly and that them going through hardship before coming to a better place is them being “tortured.”

Hell, Korra taking her lumps is a far cry from how female characters in action themed shows would be knocked out or needlessly brutalized only for a guy’s arc.

Too many Shonen Manga have this habit of putting on the kiddy gloves for any girls who can at least throw hands. This is legit a TERF talking point in them trying to bring back the fifties.

[confused-rat]

Since Gravity Falls is topical again, casual reminder that Lily hates fun, the idea of people having fun, and was also hilariously wrong about GF’s and TOH’s universal connections.

Also look, casual Lily fan being biphobic. Lovely. /s

[sjbattleangel]

Me whenever hacks like Lily Orchard go after Steven Universe, She-Ra, The Owl House, The Legend Of Korra, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Sailor Moon, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Moon Girl, Star Wars, Dungeon Meshi, ect.

(P.S: I am a massive fan of the media mentioned above) (P.S: Yes. I will fight to the end defending Steven Universe, She-Ra, The Owl House, Utena, Evangelion, Sailor Moon and The Last Jedi.)
