[p1x1e-sims]

Gwendoline no longer felt as if she were in her own body. She floated just outside of it, watching everything with a tired sort of apathy. Her mind moved slower than her body. Everything was too much effort. Sometimes, in the mornings, after she had readied herself for the day, she laid back down, wondering how nice it would be to stop for a while. Or forever.

But then the children were waking up, starting their noise and ruckus, and Gwen knew she wouldn't have her moment of peace. If this life had been hard enough with Sam around, it was near impossible now. But what choice did she have? There were children to raise. There was too much work to be done.

As much as she loathed life on their little piece of land, Gwen found it to be a small victory when she could stay in the gardens all day instead of going into town to help with the volunteer society. The dirt and sun and aches in her muscles were less than the desirable for the former socialite, but these days she preferred the solitude of the farmhouse. Plants pricked and chickens pecked, but at least they didn't talk to her. Talking was so very tiring these days.

She found that she could not even talk to Theresa. Her dearest friend was always so warm and inviting, insisting that Gwendoline could tell her anything. But Theresa loved her simple life and everything that came with it, even in the face of the war. And never once did she complain about her little Heidi, while Gwendoline had a laundry list of grievances about her sets of twins. Theresa was so perfect. She was doing so well, given everything in their lives. She worked so hard and did it with a smile, never let her cheery resolve falter. Theresa had become a real pillar in the community in recent years, and all Gwendoline had become was a nuisance. It was like they lived in separate worlds. And try as she might, Theresa wouldn't understand. So, Gwen made sure not to say anything too gloomy. She didn't want to be a bother to anyone.

And besides, it was easier not to talk. She was so very tired of it all.

But there was no rest for the wicked, as her grandmother would have said. After the work in the garden or in town was done, it was straight back inside to cook for the children. All four of whom were in the midst of their own petty fights She threw out a few stern warnings, but couldn't make the dinner and herd all four of her children at once. For the most part, they sorted out any arguments on their own.

Ginny and Maggie were just behind her, yelling about something that Gwen didn't try to understand.

"Oh, you came back before sunset today ? It's a miracle! Somebody tell the pastor! Tell him Margaret Townsend is helping out!"

"I'm doing just as much work as you, stupid!" Maggie screeched, shoving her twin. "And what I do when I'm gone is my business!"

Over in the doorway, the younger set of twins were having a squabble of their own. Charles, as shy and squeamish as he was, was more than capable of raising his voice when Peter pushed him too far. Which was quite often.

"Leave me alone!"

"Well, you shouldn't have embarrassed me in front of the class."

"Well, you and your pals shouldn't have thrown things at my head!"

Gwen was starting to get a migraine.

"You need to take it back!" Peter shouted, always quick to anger. "Tell everyone you were fibbing! I didn't wet the bed!"

"It's not a fib if its true—"

Even from the kitchen, Gwen could hear the smack that cut off Charles' words. She whirled around, at her limit.

"Boys!" She yelled. The girls stopped, aware of their mother glaring at them in place of their brothers. The boys she couldn't see from the stove, but heard a hush fall over the argument nonetheless.

"I have had more than enough of all of your petty squabbles, especially today!" She had a white-knuckle grip on the spoon. "Do me a favor and keep your hands to yourself."

Quiet mutters of "Sorry, Mom" could be heard from the hallway. The girls looked down and shuffled their feet on the kitchen tile.

Gwen took a breath in. It was exhausting. Overwhelming. "Now go make yourselves useful. Set the table, fetch the mail, anything other than giving me a headache."

Charles and Peter's quick footsteps padded to the porch as they raced one another to get the mail. Meanwhile, Gwendoline rounded on your daughters.

"And you two," She said, pointing a finger. "I don't know what's gotten into the both of you, and I don't care how you solve it, but you better solve it. Or at least take your fights outside. I've got enough on my plate without having to fix your problems and listen to your bickering."

Virginia grew defensive. "But, Ma, she never helps us arou—"

"I don't care."

Maggie butted in. "I am helping! She just thinks I—"

"I don't care," Gwen repeated, closing her eyes. "I don't care what either of you do with your time as long as you're both breathing. What you get up to outside of the schoolhouse is none of my concern, as long as you're home for dinner."

Gwendoline turned back to the stove, doing her best to ignore the hurt and angry looks on her daughters' faces. It was shockingly easy, she realized. She simply couldn't bring herself to care. If she had the energy, she would've been angry with herself.

"And what would your father say," She muttered, more to herself than anyone else. "It's like we raised you in a barn."

Suddenly, Gwendoline missed and hated her husband more than anything else in the world. He left her in this state, and she needed him. This is all your fault. She thought. Please come back. I hate you for this. Please come fix it. I'm drowning. Sam, I'm drowning.

The boys came back, their footsteps slower and more cautious this time. Charles waited to the side, pained expression on his face and letter in his hand. Peter hung behind him, uncharacteristically silent. Gwen pushed her misery down and braced for the newest problem her had children caused.

"What now?" She sighed, expecting a broken mailbox.

"Um, Mama." Charles shuffled closer, as if he were scared to say anything. "A letter came."

"From who?" Gwen asked impatiently, stirring the pot. "Is it your father? Damn near time."

"Well...I think it's about him."

Gwendoline froze.

"Mama, its a notice from a military hospital."

I’m sure you get this question a lot, but do you have a favorite character? NPC or playable?

I didn't get this question yet actually! Kakania is my favorite among the playable characters since 1.7 version. For her morals and philosophy. Her care for her friends. Her skepticism and inquisitive nature. Her passion for her work, beliefs and moral code, and knowing where to draw the line. I've heard what she'll be like in combat gameplay. I plan to pull for her regardless if she breaks or saves my account (I'll likely will not be able to pull for Lucy). Hahahaha.

Honorable mentions: - X for his humor - Madame Z for her wit, kindness and resourcefulness - Charlie cause she's a theatre kid (I bought her collector's skin) - Horropedia cause he's a horror nerd, also his humor - 6 cause his character story is probably my favorite of all-time, super thought-provoking. Irl me would be a mix of Kakania and 6. Always deliberating and asking myself questions, whether i keep them to myself or be loud about it. But of course I will never be cool as them XD

My favorite NPC might be recency bias. It used to be Sophia because I see a bit of myself in her when she's having existential crisis. LOL. Right now, Hofmann is really stealing that spot for my favorite NPC. Name Day is coming in real close though. Not sure what it is about him that I'm drawn to. But he is very interesting to me. I also find it cute that he can't handle babysitting kids. AHAHAHAHAHA. I'm not even sure if he's just NPC or will-be playable. He certainly has a memorable name fitting for a playable character.

OH BUT I LOOOOOVE THE OLD WOMAN VOICE IN THE TRAIL LOGS. Idk who she is but I love her sass! I love her voice. I love her attitude. I do miss the guy voice though. I don't think I'd be able to choose between them. They both hold a special recognition and satisfaction from both of my ears.

And yeah, that's about it. Thank you for the really wonderful question, @p1x1e-dr3am. <3

~ Happy Simblr Gratitude Day! ~

I didn't realize how much I had to say thank you for until I started working on this post. It's all probably going to be incredibly cheesy but in the few years I've been on here there have been so many things that I'm grateful for. When I joined a whole two years ago now (wow it went so fast!) I was incredibly lonely, shy, and very socially anxious. Despite still being all of those things being here has introduced me to a whole community that was more kind and caring than I could have ever hoped to find 😊

Soooo on to some shout outs...

To Many of the Simblrs I've Loved Before: To call out as many people as I can making awesome content... @oswanily, @resurrectonomitron, @p1x1e-simsm, @pixelnrd, @bastardtrait, @servegrilledcheese, @sojutrait, @gloomlet, @saltybluffs, @sonicblooms, @simmingonthelow, @papiermaker, @wildmelon, @rebouks, @neighborhoodstories, @seokolat, @heartblobs, @deathbypufferfish, @simelune, @d4isywhims, @carousel-of-sims, @lovecidik, @noeyinthemist, @windslar, @dreamlandiasims, @buglaur, @thebramblewood, @aheathen-conceivably, @loveryss, @druidberries, @kashisun, @rainymoodlet, @sasaofastora, @come-hell-or-high-water, @panicsimss, and @simsandgiggles. You're all so amazing! 🥰

To the Sims Groups: I joined several Discord servers this year and I'm not very good at it, and I'll try to be more active next year, but I've appreciated the communities you've built and I got to find a lot of new blogs and awesome people because of it, so thank you @nexility-sims @thewoodslegacy @300yearschallenge @simstrashkingdom @crownsofesha @lynzishell @sirianasims @salemssimblr @simlishpiadina and @buttertrait.

To Some of my First Followers: I've never gotten a chance to thank some of the people who've been following my posts since the beginning. You made me want to keep creating while also being talented creators yourselves! I'll never forget seeing that such talented people thought my posts were worthy of liking, so thank you @lalunebleue @akitasimblr and @minty-plumbob for always being here.

To Everyone Who Interacted with My Blog In Any Way: Thank you for every ask, like, comment, reblog, everything. Even if it was only on one post it made me incredibly happy and I'm so grateful you took the time to look at my sims. 😊

I'm sure I forgot some people (and tumblr limited my tags so I ran out of room), so, to anyone I forgot/didn't get to mention, thank you so so much and to anyone who might not have gotten a mention today you are beloved as well and your presence in the community is still seen.

I'd also like to give a final thank you to @armoricaroyalty for setting up Simblr Gratitude day! It's been such a wholesome day so thank you and know that you're amazing as well~!

I could say so much more about everyone I mentioned but it's already gotten really long 😅. Know that you're all so insanely talented and I'll never not feel lucky to be a part of this community.

Thank you~ ❤️

[scottpilgrimvsmywallet]

@ beck ur a twink, has anyone ever told u that?

@gutt3d-p1x1e

[p1x1e]

Love me #2

[cassimopeia]

3, 21, and 23 for the ask!! (this is p1x1e-sims but this is my main blog ugh)

ahh thank you! and rip i feel ur pain, my old sims blog was a side blog. i wish tumblr let you choose which blog you send asks/notifcations with ugh ANYWAY

3. what’s your favorite world?

windenburg 10000%. i love the medieval feel of it, the cliffs is one of my favorite lots, the downtown is so pretty, and i just started building on the island for the first time and it's all just CHEF'S KISS (brindleton bay is a close second tho)

21. who is your favorite sim of yours and what is their story?

truly i would die for evie flores, i love her so damn much but i feel like she's more a character than a sim?? my favorite sim is for sure sylvie burwell which no one has met yet but she's in gen 2 of my upgrowth challenge and came of age in the 1920s, she's sort of a proto-evie and also the prettiest sim that's ever come out of genetics in my game

23. what’s one pack you think is underrated?

laundry day..... the build/buy items are adorable and the cas stuff is even better (OBSESSED with the color palette frankly) and also i'm a weirdo who genuinely enjoys making my sims do laundry

[simming-in-the-rain]

TS4 World Tag Game

Thank you for the tag, @simblrangel!

Rules: List your top 5 favourite Sims 4 worlds

Windenburg. No question! I bought Get together for this world, and since then I can probably count the number of my sims that don’t live there on one hand. It’s big, it’s perfect for historical gameplay, what more could I want? And also it reminds me of places I see every day in a way none of the others do.

Brindleton Bay. If Windenburg is what I see every day then Brindleton Bay is where I spent my holidays as a child. I love the lighthouse in particular! If there’s one thing I miss about the Alsterns it’s the scenery of Brindleton Bay!

Britchester. Britchester became another favourite of mine as soon as I got Discover University. I also just love the gameplay of university here, and the vibes are impeccable. 

Henford on Bagley. What can I say? I’m a simple girl, and Henford might just have been the best thing to ever happen for us historical simmers.

Mt. Korebi. Snowy mountains make brain go brr. But seriously, the mountain scenery is lovely, and I adore the winter sports gameplay aspect.

That said, I’m tagging @sasaofastora, @p1x1e-sims, @plumbob-tea, @nexility-sims, @dancemachinetrait, and if anyone else wants to do this feel free also!

Tagged by @unasyns(thank you bestiee)

I chose Duchess Lucine, who is a “sim mentioned in the description of the “Moonlit Rose in the Garden” object from The Sims 4: Vampires. She painted these roses in the 17th century and it is said  that she only painted by the moonlight. She also despised the sunlit paintings done by her peers.” (which is pretty hardcore. Purposefully ruining your eyesight for art)
