How is Chloe Bourgeois/Marinette Dupain-Chang (Miraculous Ladybug) maligned?
"Chloe and Marinette have the perfect set up for an adorable enemies to lovers storyline, and Chloe is set up perfectly for the rich bitch with a tragic backstory learns empathy and gets a redemption arc. But the creator has gone on record about how against giving her a redemption arc he is. Furthermore, Marinette clearly seems to be a disaster bisexual, but the narrative is constantly pushing her and the straight white boy love interest."

I wanted to know how do you decide the kids each sim has because I struggle to regulate my save’s population. I saw some people using dice to decide it and others simply have them by the decade they’re on but I still wanted to know your method!
Personally, I don’t ‘plan’ how many kids each generation will have too much but rather have in mind how many I think they would have had in that particular era of time and see how it works out.
If this is interesting for you, here is what informed each generation…
1890: large families were common, especially for working class folk, so I knew I would plan for at least 4 children. When I decided to go for a 5, it was twins.
1900: 2 children, as Ernie was aiming for a more upper class lifestyle. But I knew that Ernie would adopt his sisters daughter Marigold making it really 3 children.
1910: there was no official heir for this generation but I knew that Primrose and Marigold would each have 1 child. Primrose didn’t get to have anymore as she was widowed, but she helped raise Marigolds son which fulfilled any desire she had for more. Marigold was asexual, she had her son but just never fell pregnant again.
1920: Daisy had 3 children by seperate partners, as a consequence of being a very sexual and impulsive person during a time where there was no contraception.
1930: going back to working class farm roots during the Great Depression I thought the family would have more children again, so I knew there would be 4 at least. Having twins on the 2nd pregnancy meant that this happened quickly.
1940: I had planned for 2 children, one born during the war (Margot) and one born after the war, due to Douglas and Joan’s long time apart serving. However there was an accidental 3rd child anyway (Lewis).
1950: in the Baby Boom it felt natural to have a large family, so 4 was the goal again. However I remained open to 5, which is why Stella was conceived.
1960: when Leo became heir I knew he and Valerie wouldn’t be the big family type, and thanks to contraception they didn’t have to be. They were only meant to have 1 child and then realise they weren’t cut out for it, but had accidental twins.
1970: going back to Hippy roots again I felt Eleanor would have a larger family, with a goal of 3 - I decided later that 4 felt more fitting, it just took a long time for her to fall pregnant with Summer.
1980: 2 children was always the goal, as family sizes shrank towards the end of the century and April was a working woman. When River remarried I knew he would have a later-in-life child with his new wife.
1990: playing with early IVF technology I knew that Jenny and Heather would have a multiples pregnancy of at least 2 - having 3 was a fun bonus!

Sometimes, war is the province of women.
An alternate take on the battle for air dominance over the skies of Europe during World War Two, as told through the stories of an American all-female bomber crew and the people around them.
This is a collection of standalone works that all interlock to form one big patchwork quilt of stories. It will see new additions every so often, especially because a lot of it is written to prompts. The collection on AO3 is my best attempt at organizing it in chronological order.

Want to know a little more about the OCs featured in this collection?
Please click the readmore below!
Charlotte “Lottie” Rivers-Mayhew
Fighter pilot turned bomber pilot
Can fly anything, will try anything. Big mouth, little heart. Lives in the land of innuendo and crude jokes. Loud about her whole existence. Very smart, but downplays that like whoa.
Julie “Jules” Langdon
Bomber pilot
Runs this gig and everyone else just needs to get with her program. Great at reading people the riot act. Comically unimpressed by everything that lands in her path. Nosewrinkles at any and all delays. Known for slipping people an extra bite to eat.
Christina “Tiny” Heartfield
Bomber co-pilot
Needs five hours to get ready for any kind of social event. Silver spoon baby. Knows all the gossip and all the good songs. Gets a little bit stressed about flying in warzones. Loves a good ghost story.
Eleanor “Nora” Graham
Navigator
The Mom Friend. Prone to giving hugs and peptalks. Bossy and quite rude when things don’t go her way. Cannot flirt her way out of anything. If you see her running, that’s just standard procedure.
Valerie “Val” Hodges
Radio operator
Absolute poker-faced ballsy liar. Most innocent face in the whole crew. Smokes more than her job should allow. Will try to wiggle out of any lectures by offering the most inane excuses. There’s not a puzzle she can’t solve.
Genevieve “Two” Hodgson
Tail gunner
Shows up late to everything except the war. Always chewing gum. Queen of half-hearted salutes and vague politeness. Keeps saying she’s too poor for this level of bullshit. Has a mean right hook.
Madeleine “Push” Perrault
Flight engineer
Making lists calms her down. Can and will call you stupid in four different languages. Thinks planes are better than people. Voice like a foghorn with the attitude to match. Believes she can fix anything.
Evelyn “One-Eye” Carter
Ball turret gunner
Happy-go-lucky baby of the group, rolling with life’s punches. Will talk your ear off. Could probably get away with murder. Best gunner in the crew. Can be painfully naïve.
Dorothy “Dee” Llewellyn
Waist gunner
Born a pessimist. Genuinely thinks no man should ever sport a mustache. Has a limitless supply of stories about her family. Very protective. Would inspire a riot if anyone ever let her talk long enough without interruptions.
Maxine “Max” Morrison
Waist gunner
Bold and brash and crackling with energy. Cracks more bad jokes than anyone alive. Has developed some rather complicated handshakes. Will interrupt any event or conversation. If you see her running, something’s probably chasing her.
Stella “Frosty” Lombardi
Bombardier
Icy calm in any crisis. Can calculate any bomb drop. Complains about the food. Is a true girl’s girl and refuses to so much as speak to most men. Never wants to miss out on the fun.
Lucille Dorrance-Jones, goes by Lucy Jones
Nurse
The singlemost stubborn person on the planet. Thinks some injuries are fascinating. Harbors a healthy distrust of bureaucracy and paperwork. Can probably drink you under the table. Encourages anyone to sing.
Cressida Dorrance-Jones
Interrogator
Sharp as a tack. Does not forgive, does not forget. Secretly more big-hearted than people would give her credit for. Really wants to fly a plane. Has an ongoing one-sided vendetta with Meatball.
Darlene Mayfair
Mechanic
Cheerful and spirited. Very gifted storyteller. Turns shy when complimented. Ride or die for people and sticks with them longer than they might deserve. Marches to the beat of her own drum.
Georgina “George” Campbell
Mechanic
Has a soft spot for strays. Suffers no fools. Is here to win a war, not ogle cute men. Perpetually fighting a losing battle against the grease stains on her uniform. The best co-conspirator you could ask for.
Imogene “Genie” Chapman
Clubmobile girl
Very outgoing people-person. Better at giving advice than at taking it. Designated hair-cutter. Loves movies and dancing. Knows just about anybody by name.
Jack Ellis
OSS
Doesn’t miss a beat. No-nonsense natural leader. Very determined to do what he believes is the right thing. Talks about the war in terms of “the game”. Warm and caring once he lets his guard down.

"A first year of Octavinelle who is the pianist of the Music Club, she is a girl who is confident in what she's doing and took pride for it, even though she might get hurt or sent to the infirmary several times."
Appearance
Stella has with pale blonde hair that tied up in a side ponytail with a white ribbon, and soft red eyes.
Background
Stella is born in a family of the mafia in the Coral Sea, many mermans and mermaids thought they we're a scary family that you shouldn't be messing around with, but in reality they we're a humble family who loved each other no matter what.
How did she meet Azul? By scaring away the bullies with her presence alone, they immediately became friends after that and later met the Tweels and Mizuko.
Personality
Stella is an immature and overconfident girl who is the embodiment of :3, however she can be a very reckless girl that got into dangerous situations that injured her several times, but she always came out alive due to anyone's confusion especially Raymond but she would often dismiss those concerns by saying she's alright.
Unique Magic: Ylang Ribbon Reduce
It allows her to summon ribbons with a ylang-ylang scent to reduce stress and anxiety and enhance mood.
Trivia
It's ironic that KickinChicken the character she's twisted from, is a bird while Stella is a mermaid but it's also fitting that sirens are portrayed as birds in the classical Greek mythology.
Stella doesn't like any and all vampires, due to the Sakamaki's behavior towards Yui Komori however Samara and Yuri we're exceptions due to how kind those 2 we're.
She deeply wanted Yui to kill Yuzu, due to her finding out about how Yuzu r@pe Raymond, she can't do it herself since she knew Yuzu could revive herself.
Due to her coming from the mafia, it's natural for her to knew about weaponry
She shares the same VA as Ai Hoshino from Oshi no ko which is funny since her original first name is a play on Ai's last name Hoshino and Hoshiko
She would often carry Azul to his room to sleep due to him overworked himself.
