#soleil hate

[emblemxeno]

why don't youlike soleil?

Short answer: Her character was written based on an outdated trope that's honestly pretty offensive for lesbian/sapphic women nowadays and she repeatedly harasses and assaults others. I'm also bitter that there are so many people who still think she's good queer rep considering the awful shit she does and those same people continue to perpetuate the lie that Fates had a conversion therapy support.

Long answer:

mini dedication essay to black simmers and ts4 creators below! pls read if you have the chance! <3

this edit is a small homage to afrofuturism and the various unique black hairstyles (and especially the black creators of most of these hairs) that i have downloaded and admired over the years! some of these are old and some of these are new.

to me, afrofuturism means constantly honoring/reclaiming/challenging the past while constantly creating/dreaming of a better society/world/future. a society/world/future that embraces and empowers all of our differences, ingenuity, aspirations, and unique lived/cultural experiences. a society/world/future that does not limit us through the various systems of marginalization and oppression (racism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, sexism, xenophobia, ableism, classism, colorism, etc.) that often affects how we, as black people, live today.

blackness is so diverse and intricate yet it's always been a struggle to find my culture within a game that's known for being so limiting, bland, and extremely eurocentric when it comes to hairstyles, clothing, food traditions/events, etc. black simmers have always had to figure out how to make this game more inclusive and make it resemble either more like how our ancestors lived, how our current lives are, or how we would want our lives (and even our children's lives) to look like in the future no matter how dystopian the real world look and feel now. fortunately, these hairs and their uniqueness bring a huge sense of culture and style to this game. they have always inspired me and made me feel extremely proud to a part of the lovely african diaspora (and the ever-growing black simmer community).

in a way, being a black simmer and cc creator usually means that we are often digitally creating our own worlds as afrofuturists to varying degrees (whether we know it or not) every time we open our game, make our sims, make houses, and/or make black cultural cc. also, now i know that cc making is not easy to do and is extremely time-consuming so this post is also just me giving all black cc creators especially those who create for free their well-deserved flowers! here are some other black cc creators who created cc that have greatly impacted my game since i first started playing sims 4: @/leeleesims1 @/simtric @/hi-land @/yuyulie @/sims4bradshaw @/ebonixsims @/xmiramira @/sheabuttyr @/qwertysims @/oplerims @/sleepingsims @/shespeakssimlish and so many more im forgetting probably (im too shy rn to tag ppl but i greatly appreciate y’all fr i hope y’all telepathically get this message somehow 😭).

last but not least, i am hoping that this inspires somebody to keep creating or start creating regardless of what they think their skill level is! somebody will absolutely fall in love with your work and/or your art/work will 100% change someone's game forever <333

Little Sol doodle inbetween some other drawingsss

[chopshajen]

Back on my bs!!! It’s been a hot second since I’ve painted anything but apparently jet lag is deeply inspiring cuz I’m out here painting on planes and having a great time. My tablet pen nib is so worn out there’s a hole in it but I was still like ‘oooough gotta draw’

[coffinsister]

Something very interesting about how little Andrew cares about morality and how deeply ingrained morality is into Ashley's worldview

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

It really annoys me how some people will talk about Nina and Soleil like they're irredeemable and disgusting and evil. Like, sure, they both do some objectionable things, but they are also teens! They're kids! Being cringe and making social blunders is a part of growing up! Like idk I'm not saying they don't do anything bad, I'm just saying they are both kids and maybe being cringe shouldn't damn the character forever.

I hate that I have to clairify this but; I do dislike how intys handled Soleil. Mostly cause they made her have a "gay phase" instead of actually being bi, but I also wish her support with Ophelia specifically was better. But. She can still be weird as a treat, it came for free with being a kid. Idk weird rant over

When writing physical affection gets difficult, I like to sit like this and imagine it happening to me:

“Wow. Cute!”

[almoststedytimetravel]

As a known hater of the Fates deep realms I occasionally (very often) think about the Fates kids getting to grow up normally. One of the things I believe the most is that if Soleil got to grow up in Ylisse she would have become a Pegasus knight. Soleil would have joined the order of knights that only woman can be a part of.

[emblemxeno]

Every time people bring up as Soleil as bi rep or god forbid LESBIAN REP I wanna fucking retch. Especially when they bring up that conversion therapy accusation from 8 fucking years ago.

SHE WAS WRITTEN BASED ON AN OUTDATED AND LESBOPHOBIC TROPE WHERE GIRLS HAVE "ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS/OBSESSIONS" WITH EACH OTHER UNTIL THEY "GRADUATE AND MATURE" INTO ""'REAL""" RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEN.

HENCE WHY HER S SUPPORTS ARE EXCLUSIVELY WITH MEN. SHE WAS NEVER QUEER. HER "ATTRACTION" TO WOMEN WAS NEVER TREATED AS SOMETHING LEGITIMATE; IT WAS ANOTHER FACET OF HER GENERAL IMMATURITY JUST LIKE HER LACK OF BOUNDARIES.

SHE SEXUALLY HARASSES WOMEN AND FORREST. FUCK HER!!!

YOU CAN'T "CONVERT" A LESBIAN TO STRAIGHT WHEN THE CHARACTER WASN'T EVEN LEGITIMATELY A LESBIAN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
