Punk activists. Cowgirls. Firefighters. Generational family drama. We have a lot to look forward to in 2021 at IP. We’re not quite ready to share all of the cover art, but we can give you a sneak peek of some great upcoming reads: 

COME WHAT MAY: A month of short stories (February)

2/2/21: Girl With a Pearl Earring by Claire Rudy Foster

In 1992, Laura and Thea live together in a punk house in Washington, D.C. Thea, a brash and unapologetic trans girl, lives the punk life to its fullest. But Laura leaves her leather and safety pins at home each day when she leaves for work in a government job—hiding her anti-establishment lifestyle from her co-workers and her mainstream tastes from her housemates.

When she invites Thea with her to see a Vermeer exhibit, Laura finds the courage to open up to Thea while viewing her favorite painting. Thea—normally critical of mainstream art—is charmed by both the painting and by Laura.

October 5, 2021

Fay Wu Goodson is a 25-year-old queer, multiracial woman who documents the identity journeys of other New Yorkers. She finds her videography work meaningful, but more importantly, it distracts her from investigating the challenges of her own life and keeps relationships at a distance.

They must decide to finally confront themselves, or let their pasts destroy everything each woman has dreamed of and worked for.

An unconventional story of an Asian-American matriarchy, THE BALANCE TIPS is a literary exploration of Taiwanese-American female roles in family, sexual identity, racism, and the internal struggles fostered by Confucian patriarchy that would appeal to fans of Celeste Ng’s Everything I Never Told You.

My own Sims 4 challenge: TWISTED DESTINY

💛 Hi y’all! I felt super inspired to create my own challenge. After working so freakin hard, here I am with the ten generation legacy challenge “TWISTED DESTINY“! I’d literally be so happy if you decided to try it out. A big focus for me & this challenge, is different lifestyles and personalities. It’s a crazy challenge, & it definitely changes things up!! OH & ALSO, I PLAY THIS CHALLENGE ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL, AGGIES, find it here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCORM3KlnW0Hon1tb2WE6T-w

OVERALL RULES:

This is a ten generation legacy challenge, all objectives/goals for every generation must be completed!

Always start out with one heir, gender doesn’t matter

The point of the challenge is for your heirs to have completely different lifestyles + personalities, therefore they should move to a different world that suits the lifestyle they’re supposed to have

No cheats that has to do with skills, relationships, work tasks... no cheats that will be for your advantage if that makes sense hehe!

Keep aging on NORMAL

Go crazy!! Make sure your sims personalities stand out and make use of the rules, to help you set up their lives. We want this to be entertaining and unique, something new!!

Generation one: THE BAD REPUTATION  💔

Okay, you might not have had the best grades. You might have gotten into a lot of trouble & you might seem crazy. But oh boy, your past has really shaped you. Your parents never wanted a kid, didn’t care to raise you, never gave you any “real” love. You didn’t let it get to you, you were happy to be free and made so many friends only from telling your background story. In the later days, you’ve started to realize what you’ve become. What you let your past do to you. The thought pops up in your head: “What if I prove them all wrong? What if I don’t have to be that one everyone knows about. What if I can be a better parent than my parents ever were?”

You’re outgoing, self assured & such a fun friend. These things will never change. Whay will change, is the fact that you all of a sudden want a family. You want something more, and you want to do something new and different. Will this be the right path to go? I mean, for the crazy “rule breaker” to start a family? Only time will tell!

OBJECTIVES/GOALS:

(optional) Show how crazy you are! Have a crazy hair color for example. It adds some character!

Your heir must have the traits self assured, goofball and dance machine

Must master the friend of the world aspiration.

Don’t have a career (at least until you are a adult)!! You want to do something fun and crazy for a living. Pick two of these hobbies and work on them in your free time + master them: dancing, singing, playing an instrument, mischievous skill, dj skill, or the video gaming skill.

Play around a bit! Your heir has to date 2 sims, both of the relationships doesn’t end too well and you end up having a kid with the last one, which leads to them leaving you. After that you finally find your soulmate who really changes you for the better, and you have one + kid/s with them.

Meet at least two new sims everyday during your young adult life.

Make friends! Have a smaller/bigger friend group, meet up & have fun sometimes.

Generation two: THE FORGOTTEN KID  💛 🐑

”I guess I’ll have to start new, I  guess I’ll go my own way, I mean what else is there to do?”

You’re not sure why, but you never felt included. Sure, your parents were crazy, they gave you lots of love & care, although your sibling/s seemed to be their faves. Maybe you need that special connection, that only a pet could give you? Eh, you’ve always felt like a creative person who loves colors, and who wants to work with something that feels personal, you want to express yourself & be able to share your story with others. You decide to move to the city, and even though this isn’t where you plan on staying forever, it definitely feels like the right move. I mean, your parents wouldn’t care, you suppose? But what if there’s something they’re hiding, what if it’s a misunderstanding?

You’re a super kind human being full of love and passion. You love bright colors & always felt the need to help others, possibly since your parents def didn’t really do so. You want something big in life though, something special. Hmm, what would that be? Only time will tell!

OBJECTIVES/GOALS:

Must have the traits clumsy, creative + loves the outdoors (thought they were colorful & cute tehe)

Must master the “soulmate” aspiration

Get to level ten in the writer career

Must live in a apartment for at least half your heirs young adulthood

Your heir must get themselves a pet right when they move out, you have a kind soul and this lil poor one you actually rescued!! (Yes I know owning a pet in a apartment is a whole challenge itself whoops)

You don’t want to be like your parent! Therefore, you want to marry the right person, your soulmate, before you have a baby/babies with them.

You’re supposed to not feel like your parent ever cared for you. But after some time you realize it might’ve been a misunderstanding, and you decide to let them into your life. Fun part is YOU get to decide what the whole thing was about.

Generation three: THE TRAVELER  🌵 ️ ��

You had the BEST CHILDHOOD EVER. But why does this make you feel so, empty. Like, as if how everything was so perfect for you, made you feel like life never was a challenge. You made so many friends & your teenage years were fun and easy. It’s just not quite it, and you definitely need something more in your life, you need to find something you’re truly good at, & you need to push yourself for a crazier life!

You’re a real adventurer, you want to travel and see the world + work towards being multi skilled and, you know, a little off the grid. After some research you’ve heard the phone isn’t the way to a happy family. You love your family with all your heart, and you’ll do anything to have them see the world with a new perspective.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS:

Have triplets (you may obviously cheat for this), this will be your only babies.

Master handiness, cooking AND gourmet cooking.

Master the “super parent” aspiration.

During your sims lifetime, you’re going to be moving quite a lot, you want to make the most of life and see all kinds of nature! You must therefore at the end of the generation have lived in all these three surroundings: near a beach (doesn’t have to be a beach in Sulani, there’s a “beach” in Brindleton, Windenburg...), in a city & in a desert.

You may have a career, a tip to make this even more interesting is to keep your career for a little while, until you feel like you’re ready to try something new!

Finish at least one collection

KEEP IN MIND! NeXT generation will start when the sim you choose to be the next heir is a TEEN.

Generation four: THE TEEN PARENT ❣️ 🍼

(Yes, through the MC COMMAND CENTER mod + the MC WOOHOO mod teens can get pregnant, even guys can haha, might not be realistic but I mean YOLO!!)

You travelled the world as a child, you saw everything. With that being said, you always felt you were different. You may not be like your parents, you actually want to settle down. Since you never really spent time on your phone back in the days, you were able to learn so much more. Maybe, that’s the reason you want to start your own family, basically do everything you ever dreamed of, but as a teenager? When you think about it, it sounds crazy. But after hearing all stories about your grandparents parents and whatever there is, who’s not crazy in this fam?

You’re not like anyone else in your family. But still, you love them with all your heart & definitely want to meet them often. But still you always felt the need to deal with your own ish. You need to spend time alone, and still you want to start a family. I guess you’re a bit of a loner, but there’s so much more to the story...

OBJECTIVES/GOALS:

Must have the traits loner and geek, you can only have two traits as a teen, when you age up you can pick the last one yourself.

Meet someone at the age of a teenager, & end up pregnant (it’s really easy through MC COMMANT CENTER like I said). This may not be what your partner planned on doing the rest of their lives, so um, they leave you.

Move out on your own as a pregnant teenager (you’re afraid of what your family will think). You can live in a small house of apartment.

Don’t worry! Soon enough you’ll find someone, your SOULMATE. They support you through everything and actually also always wanted a family even though they’re young.

When you turn into a young adult, get yourself a job! Work as a astronaut & master the career.

Have a big family!! At least four kids (obviously no need to have them all as a teen).

Generation five: THE (NOT SO) SWEETHEART 🤚🏽 💕

Well, let’s put it like this: your childhood was a mess. But a mess in a good way. You felt like you had a lot of fun, you had a bunch of siblings to hang with, you felt included. It was that one time, way back, when you heard your parent sing, you knew it was for you. Maybe you should try pick up a guitar one day? Oh boy, all these stories about your crazy family, you never heard anything about music or instruments. “I just got an idea”, you thought.

You’re a overly sweet and adorable person, that one everyone in your town knows about. That one who wears cute clothes & never makes one mistake. The person who melts anyone’s heart with their smile. What they don’t know, is the fact that you want to be something more. You want to be crazy and rebellious, but seems like no matter how hard you try it doesn’t work. You love singing and playing instruments. Deep inside you want to be like that one person from way back, who you’ve heard started this whole family tree. What was their name, again?

OBJECTIVES/GOALS:

Must have the traits friendly, music lover + one optional!

Must master 2 instruments + the singing skill.

Work as a criminal, and master the career! Something you keep from even your closet friends, but you can obviously tell your partner.

Have only one child.

The person you have the kid with, is supposed to be your “soulmate”. That one person who you can always trust, who you can be yourself with & share anything with.

You love sneaking out at night. You usually head to places where people don’t hang out. You bring your closest friends, but sometimes you just want to be alone.

Have a garden, and do some flower arranging aside.

Generation six: THE UNEXPECTED PARENT 🥵

Things really got crazy for you as a kid. You were an only child, you knew your parents better than they thought. They really thought they could hide things from you? Welp, things really got messy. As an only child you feel the need to take responsibility. You always loved playing around and being active as a kid, you were focused on your grades and want to be successful!!

You’re ambitious, active, determined, yet fun & gorgeous. You want to be the one to follow one path, follow your heart, and have a life where you’re constantly in movement, constantly feeling healthy. You were always so focused on yourself, and BOOM, all of a sudden you were a parent.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS:

Must have the traits active, ambitious & cat/dog lover.

Master the “bodybuilder“ aspiration

Enter the athlete career, reach max level.

Master fitness and dancing.

Get a pet early on! You never wanted kids, so this was your companion, it was only gonna be the two of you.

Even though you didn’t plan for it to happen, you end up meeting someone, you know, things go down, either one of you end up pregnant.

Your partner definitely didn’t want children, therefore you’re left as a single parent.

Suddenly everything feels different. You build this connection to your kid, & you start loving parenthood. This is when you either decide to actually meet someone and expand your family, or just stick to being a single parent and never have more kids.

Generation seven: THE NATURE OBSESSED 🥭 🌱

You were unexpected. Weird to think, you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for... anyways. You spent your days gaping up out in the nature. Out in the free, obsessing over the birds & the sunlight. You always felt when you were outside, nothing could get to you. You wanna go new places, and make tons of friends! You want to see what’s out there, the thought of living in a giant city cramped in a tiny apartment, ugh you could never.

You’re a little crazy, obviously, but also just want to live somewhere gorgeous & hangout with friends who really understands you. You always two things motivated you more than anything: painting & spending time outside. This will shape you, but there’s a lot of space to fill in still!

OBJECTIVES/GOALS:

Must have the traits loves the outdoors, creative, & gloomy

Master painting, parenting and photography

Max out the painter career

Live somewhere beautiful, with a lot of gorgeous and interesting nature! Have a beautiful house (doesn’t have to be big), with breathtaking landscaping, & even include the “nature” sort of theme in your house (you may cheat with money to be able to get the house of your dreams)!

You’re lucky, you find the one to marry and have kids with! That one person who makes you feel so amazing and bubbly inside!!

Meet at least one new sim EVERY SINGLE DAY of your sims life (until you move on to the next gen)!!

When you go places with your friends, you want them to be unique. Drinking or partying isn’t your ish, you want to go to parks, pools, & whatever else there may be.

Generation eight: THE “NOT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE”  🤕

You love you family with all your heart. They make you feel amazing at all times, you love spending time with them. But you’re a super anxious person, you want to find someone but you’re so scared they’ll leave you. Therefore, you don’t feel like settling down right away. You’re gonna get out there, prove to the world how strong you are, & you’re gonna make sure you stick with the right one. With that, a couple broken hearts may pay the prize, but you just don’t want to get hurt.

You’re a super shy person, you have such talent but you’re afraid to show it. Don’t worry, your time will come. You also want to experiment with who to end up with, which is surprising, consider how anti social you are. But I mean, it’s your life, if this is what you want, go for it! Oh, in your free time you absolutely love to cook.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS:

Have the traits loner, foodie & perfectionist

Have + master the serial romantic aspiration

Master cooking & charisma

Have quite some failed “relationships” (doesn’t have to be actually together), have kids with 3 of your failed relationships.

Have at least one kid with your successful relationship.

Get married as an elder to the person you really love.

Choose what career to go into, but when you turn into an adult, you realize cooking was always the one for you, so you enter that career.

Generation nine: THE ONE WHO FIGHTS  🤛🏽 💓

You always wanted the best for people. Your family was sweet, although you where surrounded by so many half siblings, who didn’t completely make you feel special. You want to be special, cause currently you’re really not. Right? You want to be strong and fight the people who ever did the world anything bad. You want to save the planet, whilst still being able to do other stuff.

You’re friendly and hardworking, although you’re quite hot headed and will make sure to fight the ones who do something wrong. You’re obsessed with the color orange for some reason. To you, the color shows strength.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS:

Must have the traits friendly & hot headed, you pick the last one!!

Pick any aspiration you think suits, you keep in mind you must master it!!

Be a secret agent and get to level 10!

You absolutely love the color orange Show this off in your sim and their house (fun little tough)!

Fight people! Your sim must fight at least one person every other day, these sims have clearly done something bad (oops I feel bad but...)

You stand up for what you want! Go out to the city and demonstrate twice week (you can choose what cause).

You have a kind soul. Every other day you donate some money to charity. Delete 100 semoleons from your household every other day.

Generation ten: THE GOOD REPUTATION ️ ❤️

You always heard stories about your family. Could it really have been THAT bad? Anyways, you’re taking inspiration from way back, from that sim *insert name of the sim from gen 1*, and you want to turn it around. Do everything the right way, be productive & have a fun life. Do everything everyone used to do in your family, but still not be too bad. Eh, why don’t you go back to where it all started, and see what you can do.

You’re a happy and gorgeous person, whenever you walk past someone they shine. Literally. Although, people are a little nervous about you going back to the world where it all started, so many rumors have been going around. You just want to see what it was all about, and if it gets crazy, let it be. This fam is crazy!

OBJECTIVES/GOALS:

Must have the traits good, childish & vegetarian.

Must master the “friend of the world” aspiration (just like first gen!!”

Complete one collection

Master video gaming and choose the second skill to master!

Go back to where it all started, find your roots! Move to the world that was home for generation one.

Live in a small house, that is beautifully decorated though!

When it comes to your love life, you actually WANT to be a single parent. Come up with a story as to why, and adopt at least one child.

AND THAT IS IT. I’d absolutely love if you tried playing this challenge, I’ve spent MONTHS working on it. Please check out me playing it over on “Aggies” on YouTube. Love ya!

[storybyaggie-blog]

With Christmas period fast approaching I decided to put together a gift guide and maybe give you some suggestion on what is worth spending on that little extra in my eyes.

I checked out quite a few gift guides in the past and they all seemed very similar to one another. They all have specific price brackets that show different gifts in each of the brackets. Being me, I decided to take an alternative approach and maybe show you a wider variety of options.

Let me know if you like this format as I have a similar thing in mind specifically for him… All the gift suggestions are only my ideas and I am more than happy to take your feedback on board and change one or two categories !

If you are interested in any of the products featured here, just clink on the bottom of the image and the link to the item should come automatically.

So without further delay, let’s begin…

Candles

Candles in general would be my number one gift especially for less personal occassions. A nice candle is such a homely gift and can add a little bit of luxury. I like more price candles as they have quite unusual scents and last a very long time.

All of the candles shown here are priced up to £50 and I would recommend each and every single one. Choosing a favourite one would be a difficult one but if I was forced to make that decision it would have to be Jo Malone’s Blackberry & Bay.

  Fragrance

Fragrance is my second most favourite gift to give and probably number one if I am on the receiving end. There is so many good fragrances on the market that will suit most tastes and personal preferences.

I like niche and unusual scents, maybe on a more spicy yet floral side. My current number one would be without the shadow of the doubt Diptique L’Ombre dans l’Eau. It reminds me of my childhood yearsand the smell of blackcurrant leaves is to die for !

  Beauty accessories

Every women needs a good make up brush set, nice hair brush, wash bag or a compact mirror. Options are endless and some of the practical gift are the best ones.

I would love to get a quality brush set and although I do not need any more, I would be more happy to test some new ones… My number one choice would be this set from Zoeva (just in case mu husband is reading this !).

  SLGs (Small Leather Goods)

Card holder or card case is an ideal little gift and I strongly believe that most ladies would love one. It can be as luxurious as you want it to be with options available both on high street and in designer boutiques.

I would love to find this one by Dior under my tree although I know I am pushing my luck with this price tag attached but it is worth trying !

Nice piece of jewellery is a statement and something that will stay with a person for a very long time. It can be anything from a pair of earings to a luxurious bracelet. The choices are endless and so is the budget.

Cashmere

There is nothing more special to give than cashmere regardless whether it is a scarf, hat, jumper or even pyjamas. The feel and the quality of the fabric is very cosy and it is an ultimate luxury gift in my opinion.

Nobody does cashmere better than Acne Studios. The scarf show here would have stay on my wish list for now but it is a dream…

[nyotasaimiri]

So, there's a tiny, abandoned kitten (or approximately as cute tiny adorable domesticated creature!) It looks up at some member of Nyota's crew with its big tiny kitten eyes and demands love and affection and FOOD. What happens???

I’ll assume this applies to the entire crew, since you didn’t specify (also hi Fyari this was not subtle ^.^)

Nyota made friends with a few cranky alley cats on Earth, so she would appreciate the nostalgia. She’ll feed the kitten, but with her usual lifestyle, she knows she can’t care for it well… Will care for it until she can find it a good owner.Oldarva has never seen a cat. There may be much confusion and she might end up getting scratched because she has no idea how to react to one… but she’ll get over that pretty fast I think. She’ll happily adopt it and learn all she can on how to take care of it.Sonny adopts everything and has a natural knack for understanding and looking after cats! Maybe it’s because she’s oddly catlike herself? Lumen sighs, feeds the cat, and wishes the darn thing weren’t so cute as he rubs behind its ears.Prior to joining the crew, Namina’s first reaction… probably would have been ‘food!’ Now though, it reminds him weirdly of Sonny, and he can’t eat Sonny… so maybe he can feed it? Does ssmall thing like meatsss?Aggy is terrified. It’s a CAT! Well, it’s a small one. Maybe he can chase it off before it bites him (someone rescue either penguin or feline, please?)Arjun is allergic to cats, which is unfortunate because he is fond of cats. He’ll be the main reason the crew can’t keep it… Though he may toss it something tasty before retreating to a safe distance.Hadley would actually squeak, and then be mortified and pray no one heard her. Kitten! It’s adorable! She will be sad when the crew can’t keep it, but she’ll play with it as much as she can until they find it a home.Arrowmail is only familiar with cats in sketches and stories and will be fascinated by seeing a real one. He would love to study it for a while, but he suspects this strange creature’s stare has mind control properties with how easily it bends everyone (himself included) to its will in gaining food and attention.

Angel City #5

Angel City #5 Oni Press 2016 Written by Janet Harvey Illustrated by Megan Levens Coloured by Nick Filardi Lettered by Crank!    Janet is kicking things into high gear here as Dolores finds herself right in the thick of things.  I’m a total and complete fan of this book and what is going on here.  From the get go we’ve seen Dolores go from Mobster’s girl to an independent, vivacious and determined woman ready to take on the world.  The kind of courage she’s been showing by giving up her cushy life and feigning ignorance of that lifestyle has been a joy to see.    Also the characterisation here goes beyond what you should expect.  There are plenty of little things that can be gleaned from the story itself.  Yes she’s street smart but she’s also learned a lot by being Gino’s girl and while she’s kept her mouth shut she’s amassed quite a bit of knowledge and how things work in this town.  She’s smarter than people give her credit for, herself most of all and that we can see this through her actions and how she goes about things makes it all the more fun.    Janet also has this great way of “accidentally” having Dolores find friends or associates.  From her time with Gino and since getting involved with Joe she’s shown this resourcefulness that can only be done by this classic Dame.  Speaking of those we saw Aggie have to wrestle with that decision about the story she’s been working on with them.  This issue we see where she fell on that and we’ll see if this is something she can live with or one she’ll prosper from.    I’m in love with the interiors here as well.  I mean these classic clothes and hairstyles Megan comes up with and Nick flourishes are spectacular.  They really make me wish that people took more pride in their appearance and always leave the house looking polished.  The use of page layouts with their angles and perspective are wonderfully done and then there’s the backgrounds that flesh out the little details.      Dolores may not trained as a spy or action hero but this adventure puts her on par with any man in those franchises.  It’s been said “Hell Hath No Fury….” and i’ll be damned if Dolores isn’t going to prove that saying right in spades.  From the crooked cops the mob everyone needs to look out because with her knowledge, skills and know how no one is safe anymore even if she’s on the run.  I should say especially now that she’s on the run.      The world has a new hero and she’s the most unlikely suspect of them all.

Few words about guilty pleasures…

I have to start with the confession that I have self-discipline build in me. From the very early years, I knew how to divide my time and when to play and when to learn and do my homework. During my university years when I was exposed to constant tests and exams that self-discipline became even more obvious. As a result, I may have occasional difficulty to switch off and just relax.
