can i just word vomit for a min...
there was a point in late 2023 where i felt like i overstayed my welcome on simblr and i planned on just wrapping frozen pines up as quickly as possible and moving on. continuing to write when it's clear that the audience for it is dwindling felt so embarrassing that i almost didn't even want to put effort into it anymore, because i was afraid it just looked pathetic (obligatory disclaimer: no one made me feel this way, you're all so lovely, it's just the nature of seeing a community change over 7 years). writing already feels very personal to me and it's becoming increasingly harder for me to put my work out there (again, for reasons unrelated to simblr and entirely related to mental illness š¤š»). i know my story is so long that it deters new readers, and so sporadic that it makes old readers drop off with time. this has really been bothering me lately because i don't know what i can do to fix it. i don't think there IS anything i can do.
but. okay. don't make fun of me for saying this. dan and phil returning to youtube kinda changed my mindset? they may be pulling a fraction of the views they got in their peak, but they're happier than they've ever been and they're working on things they actually want to do, not things they think will be particularly popular. seeing that has made me realize that it is possible to keep finding joy in a community that has largely moved on without you. obviously my little blog is nowhere near the same scale, so this feels kind of silly, but i've been thinking about all the things i used to do on simblr that were never fun for me, i mainly did them because i knew they would get notes or because i felt like i had to do it. making cc, lookbooks, sim requests, reshade help (oh my god the reshade help), lot downloads, etc. they DID get notes, but i can't imagine spending my time doing any of that stuff ever again tbh.
on top of that, it makes me sad to scroll through my dash and realize that i don't recognize most of the people i see anymore. i still talk to some wonderful people here who i consider friends and that's invaluable to me (š), but the broader community aspect is something i no longer feel a part of. and believe me, i know i'm at fault here because it's not like i'm going out of my way to talk to new people or participate in trends like i used to. i don't blame anyone except the passage of time!!
frozen pines, and simblr by extension, played such a gigantic part in my life when i needed it the most. and that's not to say that i don't still care about it, because i absolutely do, but it's a different kind of feeling. i've always promised that i would give frozen pines a satisfying conclusion rather than silently abandoning it someday, and though i do intend to keep that promise, i know it's possible that i might never get there. but i don't want to let my own insecurities get in the way of something i really enjoy doing. writing is an intrinsic piece of me that i'll never quit doing, but sharing my writing on tumblr is something that can't (and shouldn't) last forever. i know that. but i'm going to enjoy it to the fullest while we're all still here together š
to anyone who's still reading my silly story after all these years (especially those of you who still check in on my blog even though you're not on simblr anymore): thank you thank you thank you THANK YOUUU. you don't have to change a single thing about what you're doing. this is not me fishing for compliments or putting down an ultimatum, this is just me trying to make sense of my feelings.
but with all this being said, i've decided to quit simblr and start my own exclusive streaming service for $60 a year, i hope you'll all support me as i increase my production value š
(just kidding. ily. okay that's all)
#to be 100% clear this is not a goodbye - i'm literally halfway done with the next story post#just sort of an update on the state of my brain#šš»#btw...... sorry to Watcher fans lmaoo you guys really got the short end of the parasocial relationship stick..... </3#that's not relevant to anything i've said here i've just spent way too much time thinking about how youtube has changed in the past 20 year#because i'm a loser that got really into youtube when i was 11 and never looked back#and then the watcher thing happened. and i was like ohhh if dan and phil did that to me i would have to die about it.

Writing Update āļø
Well, what a busy summer it's already been! Know I've been active here and there, but tbh, life has been crazy - both in good and in bad ways.
I still find solace in writing no matter what, so just wanted to post a tiny update about what I'm presently working on and what I want to work on eventually š¤š
Very subject to change but I'm excited!
Current project:
Squarepants family fic
I'm currently working on a fic (mentioned here) that involves the Squarepants family. š§½šØāš©āš§āš¦ What started out as a plot bunny has evolved into something much bigger, which (unfortunately) means it's been taking me a bit more time than expected.
Additionally, with all the lore and headcanons I'm including, this fic is becoming slightly longer than I originally thought. It was going to be ~6 chapters but I'm thinking it might go up to 7-8.
Hoping to share some teasers by the end of this month, but we shall see.
SquidBob is the main pairing. š§½š
Future projects:
Fortune teller/soulmate fic
Yes! This is still happening, I swear it!
I've already shared quite a bit about this fic, but deets are here and here. There will be more teasers when I have more figured out + written/edited.
No ETA yet.
Main pairing is SquidBob, with a relatively big Plabs/Karendy side plot. There will also be Fancykins if you squint.
TLM AU fic
I've definitely said somewhere that I don't usually write/read full-blown AUs (i.e., not canon divergence), but I'm about to do something I never thought I'd do and try my hand at writing an AU fic. š
As with many AUs in SBSP, it will involve humanization. However, it will also involve non-anthro critters that maintain cartoonish attributes (ex. Finding Nemo, Lion King [animated], etc).
Setting is probably ~1800's in a seaside kindgom/village. It won't be super accurate but I'm here to entertain, not educate - unless the opportunity presents itself in a fun way. š¤Æ
It isn't going to be the timeliest either lol, but it was somewhat inspired by this. šš§āāļø
I haven't even started drafting this, so no ETA yet.
To the surprise of no one, SquidBob is the main pairing. š
Werewolf lesbians fic
I haven't posted much original content for Sims, but I'm a total Simmer and I'd love to do more Sims storytelling at some point. Fun fact: my username was actually inspired by the Tragic Clown from the games. š¤”
The Sims 4 Werewolves did a great job on the lore so I've had this idea to write a story (maybe with screenshots?) based on that with my own made-up lore sprinkled in. šŗThere would obviously be a romance aspect because I'm a sucker for it and there's this "Fated Mates" feature that I just have to include. š
Main pairing is Rory Oaklow & Lux DeMarco.
#squidbob#plabs#karendy#spongebob#squidward#madame kassandra#sbsp#spongebob squarepants#little mermaid au#rory oaklow#lux demarco#rory x lux#sims 4#sims 4 werewolves#fanfiction#fanfic#tragic clown actually writes#fic ideas#these are only my confirmed projects btw!#i have a few more ideas that i'm playing with but didn't want to add to the list in case i decided not to do them

may i request hcs for a poly mc?
Poly!MC with the Demon Brothers!
(GN!MC as alwaysāļø)
ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ ā¦
Lucifer
He will never get over the fact that he's got to share you with his annoying ass brothers. But as the most patient(?) of the seven, he's learned to compromise
And by 'compromise' I mean literally making a schedule for how much time everyone gets with you, to avoid unnecessary fights. They all get you for an entire day, on a respective day of the week in chronological order. (Lucifer on Sunday, Mammon Monday, etc)
Though... we all know he abuses the system by making excuses like "MC, I need you in my office for a moment. I'd like to discuss your grades." and "Come with me for a moment, MC. I'd like you to explain something to me."
Basically he fools everyone by making it sound like you're in trouble, when he literally just wants to hang out with you some more. Maybe he can convince you that all you really need is him..? Jk he respects your decision even if it eats him alive because why his brothers of all people-
"As much as I don't understand your choice, I've lived with those six long enough to know how to deal with them. That being said... I also know how to keep them at bay. We'll have plenty of time to ourselves, hm?"
Mammon
The only brother that can see through Lucifer's ruse, but he can't say anything about it because... come on, it's Lucifer we're talking about.
But that's not stopping him from arguing about that dumb schedule! Why's he got to wait until MONDAY, which is a SCHOOL DAY, just to hang out with you?? Why does he have to go second when he was your FIRST???
Keeps trying to convince you to skip classes with him so you can sneak away and spend the day together. Nobody's got to know, okay?
The whole once-a-week thing teaches Mammon the importance of time management, so he's making the most of the time he's got when you're all his. He's taking you on all sorts of dates and there's no way he'll take no for an answer, got it??
"Oi! What did I tell ya about makin' those goo goo eyes at Levi, huh?! Only look at ME like that, understand? Just you wait, I'll take ya on a date so great, you'll only be able to think about THE Great Mammon! ....Huh? Y-yeah, I want ya to hold my hand."
Levi
Tuesday has officially become his favorite day, for reasons that have nothing to do with the upcoming Ruri-chan themed maid cafe event going on soon-
Tuesday's actually used to be his raid days, when heād get online with his rpg buddies and do dungeon runs until dawn. But now? He's sacrificed all of that just so he can take the time to enjoy being with you
He may not know much about traditional dating, but don't underestimate the power of an otaku with centuries of dating sim knowledge under his belt-! He'll show you so much moe, your head will pop!!
Just be patient with him, okay? He's seriously trying to be romantic here, even if the thought of holding your hand is enough to make his palms sweaty. But he's not passing up an entire day filled with MC-! Not even his inferiority complex will get in his way!
"Eheheh... I've spent all night coming up with the perfect plan of action! First! We're going to have a TSL marathon of all your favorite episodes! Second! We'll speedrun that game you wanted to play, because I bought it! Third! We'll make a TSL-themed dinner to enjoy in my room! Then, we- ..Huh? What do you mean there won't be enough time? S-seriously?!"
Satan
Wednesday... well, that's right in the middle of the week, so it gives him plenty of time to carefully plan what he wants to do with you when it's his turn to have you. (He also does everything in his power to ruin Lucifer's dates oop-)
We all know Satan's gonna write a whole ass dating journal filled with all sorts of romantic ideas he wants to try out on you.
It's a literal date planner, and he's got things meticulously scheduled just to ensure he makes the most out of your day. You'll have to tell him that you prefer to go with the flow, or he might get a little overzealous-
But having a chance to settle down and realize that it's alright to relax once in a while is a relief. He can't help but feel annoyed when he sees you with the others, and it makes him want to cram even more of himself into your thoughts, so a breather is definitely needed.
"You know, I've been reading more books of the romance genre lately, and it's been giving me ideas for how to spend my time with you. I know you said I shouldn't take live advice from a novel, but... when I read the stories, I can't help but picture the two of us. Shall we read some of them together?"
Asmo
Thursday?? Why couldn't he have a weekend??? Everyone knows there's nothing fun happening on a Thursday night... That being said, Asmo has to get creative!
He's no stranger to improvised romance, so this boy pulls out all the stops and always delivers?? Somehow???? He can plan the perfect date in under thirty minutes-
And the time away from you makes him realize that he actually has to consider the depth of those dates. He finds he's not satisfied with cheap, devilgrammable dates anymore. He wants substance!
So he's taken to staying home with you, carefully and quietly getting to know you, and sharing himself with you. He loves it best when the date leaves him craving more and thinking of nothing but your smile. He hopes you can say the same, too.
"...Aaand that's how you do a cross stitch! Levi taught me that one, and it's saved my life a dozen times! It was a great idea that we should make matching wallets, huh? I'm just FULL of ideas like that! Go ahead and praise me all you want~!ā¤ļø"
Beel
Madame Screams does a discount on their sweets every other Friday, when they rotate their stock. He couldn't be happier! Though, heād be fine with any day of the week tbh-
That doesn't mean he doesn't value his time with you, though. It being close to the weekend means he gets to stay up late with you, the two of you sneaking into the kitchen at night to smuggle away a mountain of snacks
Or he'll take you out into the mountains for a picnic, hoping the view of the surrounding scenery and your face will curb his appetite.
He couldn't be happier to have you for an entire day. A whole day, where hunger is just an afterthought and all he cares about is making you laugh... It makes him happy. He's starting to love Fridays even more now.
"Are you sure you're not tired? We've been hiking for a while....Here, hop on my back. I don't mind it. It's nice when I get to be close to you like this....Hm? My face is red? I think it's the heat.. maybe."
Belphie
Saturday, huh? Perfect. He preps for the weekend by sleeping as much as possible on Friday, so he can stay up all Saturday with you.
And when night falls? That's when his plan really comes into play. He spends the entire day doing the things you want to do, making sure you're thoroughly worn out so when it's time for bed, he has no problem coaxing you into bed with him.
And he's exhausted at that point so once he wraps his arms around you and falls asleep, there's no escape. The longer you're stuck there, the less time he spends glaring at Lucifer for stealing you on Monday.
But really.. the highlight of it all is the big, goofy grin on your face when he watches you indulge in the things you love. Even if it might not be his cup of tea, he's just happy that you're happy. And if he can keep you away from Lucifer, it's a win win.
"If you keep smiling like that, it'll make it even harder to give you away tomorrow. But you know.. we could just run away for a day or two. We could go camping somewhere, and stare up at the stars all night long. It'll be our secret."

there's a bunch of stuff i need to cover when it comes to angeal's abilities and whatnot so, as a head's up, this is definitely gonna be lengthy. now, unfortunately, i'm not gonna be tagging this as LONG POST TW because this is a relatively important headcanon.
angeal doesn't really have any scars tbh?? the only real "exception" to this rule is a little sliver / scar where his wings pop out from his right shoulder blade. now the reason he doesn't really scar or bruise is due to his END OF GLUTTONY ability which is almost always subconsciously active. he has to actually think about not healing himself in order for him to nullify this ability ( which most certainly has its benefits if you catch my drift *wink wonk* ). now is he capable of breaking bones / losing limbs? absolutely. but, again, he's fully capable of healing said wounds. it just depends on the severity of the wound / whether or not he has to full on break the fracture in order for it to properly heal / so on and so forth that determines how long it takes for the said wound to completely heal.
now the reason this ability wasn't really working after his fight with zack was because he was mentally exhausted and more or less lost the will to live. he turned into his own worst enemy. he basically accepted his fate and whatnot. not only that but he was incredibly dehydrated / malnourished on top of everything so there's that. it wasn't until deepground came and got him that his regenerative abilities started working on its own because they more or less hydrated / nurtured him back to good health.
something else i'd like to bring up is that because of this ability he doesn't really age the same way as humans do?? he ages at a much slower rate and is able to live far longer than that of a normal human being because of this ability of his. now while some might consider it a blessing and others a curse he's more or less indifferent about it anymore and has come to terms with this ability.
CHARGE OF GREED is a rather interesting ability that completely ignores vitality. so, long story short, he's perfectly capable of breaking through your barriers / armor / etc. with little to no effort. the more he hits you the stronger he basically becomes ( think in terms of how jax works in mk11 with his arm enhancements ). what makes it even more frightening is that this move is more or less ongoing until he passes out from exhaustion and / or is mentally worn out.
UNLEASHED WRATH, to me, is very similar to that of a bloodlust / battle rage / berserker / haste kind of thing. so needless to say that angeal's fully capable of going into a berserker / rage kind of mode and is basically unstoppable. however, this is usually only triggered by you fucking with his ptsd / innocent bystander / someone that means a lot to him. forget him being a combat pragmatic at this point. he's just gonna fight until he passes the fuck out. so you might not want to piss him off.
now something else i'd like to go into is his ability to use magic without the need of materia ( if you hadn't guessed i'm referencing RAGE OF SLOTH and THUNDER OF ENVY in this bullet point ). because of how weird jenova is and being a "calamity of the sky" and an all-around eldrich abomination of sorts, i don't necessarily think they needed materia to use magic due to their genetic makeup. now, of course, there are exceptions to this rule such as holy ( white materia ) and meteor ( black materia ). now this doesn't mean that the og trio doesn't need materia or anything it's just that they're fully capable of using damn near all of the magic spells naturally thanks to jenova running through their veins. however! having materia attached to their weaponry would, without a doubt, enhance them by tenfold.
so we all know that DEFENSE OF LUST grants angeal the ability to throw up a barrier and m barrier. he has a natural defense barrier up and running damn near all the time and this is more or less a subconscious thing. it's kinda sorta similar to how the barriers in the mass effect games work and it sucks. and by me saying "it sucks" what i really mean that "it royally sucks". like... hardcore. you basically have to be on the same level as him ( and / or gang up on him ) to even keep them down for a prolonged period of time. so yeah.
and last, but certainly not least, we have WINGS OF PRIDE. this is actually works very similar to how sephiroth's able to attack people with the black feathers from his own wings. except, unlike sephiroth, the feathers from angeal's wings tend to heal people as opposed to harming them. the more feathers he use the more healing it does. but he has to be extremely careful when using this ability because it is incredibly painful on his behalf and can / will cause him to pass out if he's not careful.

As TMA keeps bringing up possible ways the story could end and knocking them down, I thought - what the hell, Iām going to make a huge list of all the endings I can think of and how likely they seem at this point. Iām constantly doing this in my head anyway, might as well type it all out.
Thereās two columns as far as Iām concerned. One is āfate of world,ā the other is āfate of Jon and Martin.ā So Iāve got a list for each.
(I am also interested in the fates of the other characters, but at this point I think Melanie and Georgieās fate is likely to be whatever āfate of worldā is, and that Basira is either going to be in the same boat or die as part of her character arc.)
Fate of the World:
Entities are destroyed/banished, world goes back to normal but without monsters anymore.
Not impossible, but I have doubts. If the world is truly fixed, it will probably mean the characters successfully and heroically sacrificed themselves to save everyone and . . . that just doesnāt feel like the story Jonny Sims is telling, not to me at least. But I could be wrong.
Entities are destroyed, world is scarred in some way. (i.e., torture stops but all the nightmare domains are still there, no one can feel fear anymore, mass trauma/death, etc.)
Interesting to think about, not sure where theyād go with this one. Entities are sent back to being ājust outside our universe,ā world becomes what it was before the apocalypse. Possible. A return to the status quo before the entire podcast started would hammer in the theme of āthe evil system is overwhelming and canāt be easily changed.ā Though I would wager that the events of the story are ultimately going to change something for the world, even if (probably) itās for the worse. No change to the world at all, it stays exactly as it is. Seems unlikely purely because I think if Jonny Sims was going to do this heād have ended the series on MAG 160. āThe apocalyptic scenario that we doubted could change really wonāt changeā isnāt nearly as strong a blow as āthe most terrifying apocalypse possible is happeningā as an ending. The world is freed from the Entities, but at the cost of allowing them to spread to other worlds. I wouldnāt be surprised if this option is at least presented. The āsave your world at the cost of othersā scenario does sound like a choice that could be put in front of our characters. Itās hard to imagine them knowingly taking this option, but who knows? The world remains as it is, and the Entities spread to other worlds.
Honestly this feels like the most likely scenario to me now, probably a result of the main characters trying to do something good.
The world remains as it is, but Jon takes over and shifts the fear around.
Seriously doubt this one, they brought it up and dismissed it pretty hard. I canāt see Jon doing it if Martin is alive, and if he dies I think Jon would be more likely to do something self-obliterating. The only scenario where I could see this would be āMartin dies and Jon gives up on trying or caring about anything, resigns himself to accepting the evil system as inescapable.ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ Which would certainly be tragic, (and depressing!) but doesnāt seem likely to me.
Jon takes over and is able to meaningfully change the world from its current state.
Even less likely than the above scenario.
The world canāt be fixed, so itās utterly destroyed/mercy killed.
It could be seen as a better option than the others that are available, but that assumes itās even possible.
We get the time travel ending after all, but only as an endless inescapable cycle that the characters canāt change.
*throws up hands* I donāt know Iām just spitballing now.
Fate of Jon and Martin:
They die together or meet a fate worse than death together, saving the world.
Possible, but I already expressed my doubts about a successful āsave everyone through self-sacrificeā ending.
Jon dies saving the world, Martin lives and is sad/Martin dies saving the world, Jon either dies without the Eye or lives on having lost his consciousness or memory or identity.
See above.
They save the world without dying. Without the Eye, Jon either dies and Martin mourns or he loses himself and Martin takes care of him.
See above, also they talked about this and accepted the possibility together so it aināt gonna be that.
They die together or meet a fate worse than death together, making things worse in the process.
Seems more likely than them dying to make things better, honestly.
They die together or meet a fate worse than death together, making things slightly better or giving the world a minor reprieve, but ultimately not saving anyone, aka the Bifrost Incident ending. (Or they die together mercy killing the world.)
Honestly this has seemed like a significant possibility to me for a while, but who knows??
Martin dies or meets some horrific fate, pushing Jon to some extreme act (or just letting him crumble into despair.)
Seems way less likely now than it did before MAG 196! Feels like if this was the route Jonny Sims was going to go, heād have done the Spiders Martin ending, but could still be possible.
The world stays the same and Martin asks Jon to kill him. Jon either agrees and falls into despair or refuses and weāre left with a big ānow whatā?
Depressing! I hate it!! :D But who knows!!?
The world stays the same, Martin and Jon both change their minds and decide to just rule their domains so that they can both live and be with each other on some level.
Very unlikely given their character arcs.
Jon dies/is irretrievably trapped without the world changing. Martin is alive, unable to die, and forced to resign himself to living off the suffering of those in his domain.
Certainly tragic and depressing, but feels extremely unlikely after Quiet.
Jon dies/is irretrievably trapped without the world changing. Martin somehow figures out a way to fix/improve things. He either dies/has a fate worse than death in the process, or lives and is sad.
Putting the fate of everything in Martinās hands could pay off the āyou have to make a proper choiceā idea, but for now I have no idea what he could do.
The world stays fucked but they escape to another dimension where they can be happy but have to live with the guilt of abandoning everything.
Doubt theyād be this lucky, tbh.

axelle judges non bl shows > Sleepless Society: Insomnia
summary: Iya is a young model that has always had a recurring dream: She always dreams of seeing her mother kill someone in a house, which is located on the island she used to live in when she was a child. These dreams cause insomnia, eventually leading up to chronic insomnia to the point that she is confused and begins to separate reality and dreams.
where to watch: dramacool
grade: 9,5/10
pros:
- that fucking story yāall. I legit still cannot believe the writers came up with that... itās so complex & deals with SO much, every little detail fits in with the others... like that shit is truly insane. itās not often that Iām truly impressed with screenwriters but here I really am. the story is one of a kind & I loved it so much
- one of the reason I almost dropped this show at ep 1 (thank god I didnāt) was bc usually when stories are that incredible, the character development suffers. but here I found that it was not the case at all. sure the character development is not the main focus of the story, but you come to know every character very well & I felt like they were still developed in a wonderful way
- the acting. wow, I felt that shit. every actor was top-notch, there was not one bad performance. I could feel every emotion or lack thereof, it was perfect
- I loved how the female characters were the center of the stories but also not always the āvictim.ā the women of this show are strong, broken & beautiful but goddamn they know how to stand up for themselves. I loved their characters, especially iya, faye & mo. these three are my babes tbh. (I also liked the character of seua, but that bc Iām becoming really partial to his actor lol. oh & tle can get it, heās hot af)
- the entertainment value of this show is through the fucking roof. like I could not take my eyes off the screen & I had to keep watching bc every single minute is packed with action & information. if you liked the feeling of suspense in the gifted, this show is for you my dude!
- honestly this show, while being entertaining & all, is actually really great social commentary. I wonāt say more bc I donāt wanna spoil anything in the show (which is very hard bc damn thereās so much going on in it lmao) but itās really great to see a thai show say quite a lot politically in a country where politics are all over the place. we stan a seemingly ālightā show (itās definitely not) that actually can speak up & denounce actual things going on in its country
- I loved that there were no love story in the show. this decision was clearly a choice since the screenwriters make the characters talk about it at the very end of the show. and while Iām a sucker for romance, like iya said not every story needs a love story. and here it truly didnāt need it bc there was already SO much going on that a love story wouldāve taken away from it. this might be the first series I watch with no love story lmao, & I loved it!
- usually when an ending is open-ended, you absolutely want a season 2 to continue the story or else youāll be frustrated forever. while I would really appreciate a season 2 in this case, I also felt like that ending was enough. even though you wanna know more it simply shows the circle repeating itself & I find it quite poetic in a way
cons:
- there were some few inconsistencies, for example how tippy could call iya when she changed sim cards, but frankly seeing how incredibly complex the story is I personally didnāt pay too much attention to them
- the conclusion was maybe not the moooost satisfying it couldāve been, but frankly I still liked it a lot
(- it could be a con for people so I wanna include it: this show contains VERY fucked up topics that you can imagine when I write that, so if itās not your cup of tea I wouldnāt recommend this show. I personally thought they handled the topics well but if it could trigger you donāt put yourself through it)
would I rewatch it: usually when you know all the plot twists of a story it kinda loses it rewatchability factor, but not this time. I would love to rewatching knowing the truth from the start, itād be super interesting
This show... wow. I legit could not recommend it more & Iām really mad itās not bigger bc itās truly one of the best things Iāve ever watched. Every single episode was absolutely incredible and this show will definitely leave the biggest impact on me. WATCH. IT. NOW! (you wonāt regret it)
#axelle judges non bl shows#sleepless society insomnia#sleepless society: insomnia#bypiningbisexuals#I tried keeping this review spoiler-free bc honestly I don't wanna ruin the show. don't look at the tags on mdl if you wanna watch it!

Simblr Goals 2020
Thanks for tagging meĀ @cloudberry-sims!
My main goal is to balance my simblr, real life, work and hobbies in a good and healthy way. I want to move forward in my legacies and do some other projects, but I hope that every time I play, it's done out of genuine desire to play instead of pressure and stress. Simblr is the last thing I want to stress about.
Legacies? I still don't know whether I'll be able to continue them all, or I'll wrap one or two up, because four is quite a lot for me.Ā
At the moment, what I really want is to share Twinkle gen 4 story - it's been long overdue and it's closely connected with the previous generation. Besides, I actually have a crush on Cloudberry, don't judge. What I'm hoping for is to do at least five generations of this legacy. I consider it the most cherished, fleshed out and story-driven project of mine, so I want my future heirs to also have good stories like their predecessors, even if it takes longer and I don't necessarily do all the generations (lmao Mel that would be ambitious). Side note, just in case anyone ever wants to read any of my legacies but doesn't know which one to choose, I recommend the Twinkles.
And of course, I want to advance in the Fletcher reboot. God, I'll admit, I really want to reach the later generations there because they have both sims that I love and sims whose stories deserve some good improvement. I genuinely hope that it happens in 2020 and I'll complete as many generations as I can. So far it's been moving super slowly as I started in September 2018 and my gen 2 heir has only recently become a teenager, and also I haven't even completed the Aimee subplot yet, so I fear by this point everyone just lost interest. I hope I'm wrong. But I'll probably have to simplify the stories if I want to get somewhere.
The Maples and Lilygreens... they've been my biggest concern. If I'm honest, I want to wrap up the current generation in both of them, and then choose only one that I'll continue playing (because I see both the Twinkles and Fletcher reboot having a future, but I do really want some new generations, storylines and fresh characters that aren't either my old characters or berries). Or maybe I could somehow combine them. I don't know, I'm still thinking which one of the two I'd like to continue. The Maples are a LEPacy and they may have more story potential as the expansions will guide me, but the Lilygreens have more freedom (and tbh I love their family name). I'd appreciate any thoughts on this matter.
Anything else, well... I might be occasionally making new poses. In fact, I have some to release, I'm just lazy. Also, I've got fresh story ideas, but it will only happen if I'm absolutely sure I want it, and am not 100% overwhelmed by legacies. I still have some photoshoots and a CAS BPR to post so I hope that would also be done.
Oh yeah, obviously, I aspire to physically catch up on other people's posts more often instead of observing, and give them at least half of the love that is given to me through leaving likes, comments, and asks. I've always struggled with this aspect because of shyness and social anxiety (which, strangely, is often worse online that it is in real life - I've been improving a lot irl) and some events this year made it even harder for me to not overthink my liking and commenting routines. So I genuinely hope it will get better in 2020, and I will break my cycle of lurking quietly and only giving my hearts to a few blogs.
I also would love to continue my friendships with people on simblr, and maybe make some new ones. Very often, sharing content and laughs adds a lot to my inspiration and desire to do something.

Oh hey, long time no replies. And these are the first ones of this year. I have a hard time replying now. Itās not like I donāt have time - Iām doing okay, actually. I mean, I wouldnāt complain if there was less homework, but still. Free time exists. Itās just that I canāt bring myself to replying to either comments or messages...I replied to asks quite quickly though, which is something unusual for me. Usually thatās where Iām slowest. I donāt know, is this another weird anxiety thing? Like I know I can reply, but I just...donāt?
Anyway...letās get that done now I guess. Thereās a lot of these, apologies if something got lost. Maybe itās my fault, maybe itās not, all I know is that sometimes my activity feed doesnāt show me everything.

When Ross and Caleb finally got together. I'm still hoping Caleb changes his mind and turns Ross.
If I had replied to this a week earlier, I couldāve used my favourite eye emoji. Oh well. Yeah, itās good he changed his mind, isnāt it? :D I couldnāt stand the idea of separating them.
jackssimsĀ replied to your photoĀ āI tweeted this last night but I want to share it here as well because...ā
The birth of Miracle! Caleb, Ross, and Sunset! The high school story and when Miracle and Adam got together as well!
ghkjahfljhk lately (I mean for the past few months) Iāve been really disliking Miracle and Adamās storyline but for some reason when people mention it, they always say they liked it, so I guess I didnāt do that bad of a job?Ā
Same with the good old Zoey storyline. Everyone who has ever talked to me about it said they liked it and thought it was interesting, but Iām over here likeĀ āgjkfjgfjhg donāt mention that mess to me ever againā.
melienĀ replied to your photosetĀ āSunset spent the New Yearās Eve by playing sims. This is very...ā
I'M LITERALLY DOING THIS RIGHT NOW
I feel personally attacked
Itās fine, weāve all been there :D
I think I played sims too this year. Well, first we played some board games with my parents, then there was midnight, I cried, went to see the fireworks (while finishing a bottle of wine but I swear I wasnāt drunk)...oooh and then I watched a stream and edited my sims screenshots! Okay so I didnāt actually play but I edited the pics and like...these are still fun new yearās eve plans, am I right?
melienĀ replied to your photosetĀ āDawn came over and the two spent hours talking about space.ā
I love their outfits! Totally would wear something like this
I like Sunsetās style especially. Well, sometimes she wears clothes I wouldnāt, but for most of the time, itās just comfy fun stuff I wish I had. Especially considering my dark phase is over and colours are slowly coming back to my closet :D
melienĀ replied to your postĀ āI have some random sims I could share. Anyone interested?ā
Ohhhh... on one hand I'd always want sims from you but on the other hand I fear I won't do them justice because idk where to use them rn. Dilemma
pls ask
Iām always down for creating sims for mutuals and friends (I just never talk about it), so just let me know when you want one. Also, Iām sure you would do them justice. Iām really not afraid you would fail there. You know I love everything you do, so... :D

I agree heās got a hot vibe going, but this just feels wrong tbajfnakcn
It is kinda weird, Iāll admit that (but āreimaginingā him was fun). Itās like...taking away Caleb Vatoreās weird emo hair. I admit Iāve done that once but it was just to mock myself anyway. I wouldnāt do itĀ āfor realā. Emo hair must stay. Yes itās dumb, but also, itās iconic. we stan dumb hair
Iād say this is something similar. I donāt want to say anything about Ross is iconic, but...you get my point, right?

melienĀ replied to your postĀ āSimblr 2019 Goalsā
I third the online anxiety, glad to know I'm not alone
I wish I could say I defeated it irl as well...things got better (mainly because I just had to get used to it and grow a thicker skin) but Iām still an anxious trainwreck 99 % of the time :D Itās the same online.Ā
Also, instead of actually starting a conversation with people, Iām always likeĀ āoh you know, if you feel like talking to me, just send me a message, I donāt biteā but the problem is I know thereās a lot of us like that here and Iām not the only one with this fear of communication so maybe I should be the one to find the courage once

Omg imagine Iād bring her back and sheād get herĀ āhappy little familyā she claims she wishes for now.
myopicccĀ replied to your postĀ āĀ - fave types of movies?ā
Such a tense era! I'm a historic nerd too:)
Yeah, I love it! I mean, I donāt actually love it, there were some bad things happening, no freedom of speech and such, but for me, itās an interesting era to learn about. I also think itās important to know about these times because in a way, theyāre still so similar to where we are now, we really should look back at them and try to not make the same mistakes...sadly, when I look at the situation in my country...sometimes it feels like people forget. Not just people like me who didnāt experience it and have only learned about it in History classes...feels like even people who have been there forget and itās sad and frustrating and I wish I could do something about it.Ā Okay rant over.

There's a way to bend the rules. Since Ross will become a vampire. He and Caleb have forever to have a child together. So once Sunset takes over as heir I say anything goes for Ross after that ļæ½ļæ½ but that's just me lol
Ooh, technically that could work! I didnāt even think about that. Good point. I donāt think theyāll have children together but I really do like this idea.

I mean he didnāt really have another option at this point

melienĀ replied to your photosetĀ āSunset: āSay cheese hair!ā
So don't ask how I remember it because I'm probably too invested lol but your theme with red hair/blonde(yellow) hair in gen 3 of every legacy? It continues
Omg I didnāt even realize! Sebastian and Lynn started it obviously, then in my Raven Legacy it was a littleĀ āeaster eggā but this time, itās a coincidence (a nice coincidence). I guess I just canāt have too many redheads!
melienĀ replied to your photosetĀ āoh shitā
The ultimate plot twist
The plot twist I normally wouldāve welcomed but this time, I actually felt sorry for him. He didnāt deserve it the first time (aka the time I was petty and did it on purpose) and he didnāt deserve it this time either. But still. Aliens. I canāt just quit the game without saving when it has to do something with them, can I?
melienĀ replied to your postĀ āI WAS HOPING HE WAS PREGNANT WITH HIS FIANCE'S BABY NOT GETTING...ā
Maybe babies for them perhaps?
Yāall really want them to have kids huh
melienĀ replied to your photosetĀ āNooooo Rocket :( Heās old now!ā
Can Caleb also turn Rocket? Vampire doggo would be fun
Man Iād love if that was possible (even though...I just imagined him biting the poor dog and thatās kinda weird). Buuuut...thereās something else that I did and itās almost as good.

SSFF Challenge 8 - Introducing Myself!
Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself since Iām still a bit of a newbie in the Simblr community, and @simblrsimplyforfun challenge 8 was the perfect excuse! So here we go =D
This is me! ^^ š¦š (in a quick selfie without filters xD I hope I haven't scared you š)
Introduce yourself, your name, age, where you live etc. What words would you use to describe yourself and why? What words would others use? Tell us some childhood stories that you think show who you are.
My name in real life is AilĆ©n, but my pen name since the age 13 is Piper, nowadays most of my friends call me that name and Iām really more comfortable with it, so please just call me Pip or Piper! ^^ Iām 19 years old and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina š¦š·
I can describe myself as a kind person, I love meeting new people, to debate about random things with them and listening to them speaking about what they like or their plans, Iām very creative but sometimes I just run out of inspiration š Iām also very affectionate! I love hugging people I appreciate and telling them I like them. Other people... I donāt know, I canāt speak for everyone 8ā²D but I guess they also see me as affectionate, sometimes even clingy, I act goofy at times (you can see it mostly when I talk, I tend to finish my sentences withĀ āahreā a lot, which is an Argentinian expression to state youāre just joking), so I guess they think I have a good sense of humor as well, I love making people laugh š Iāve also been calledĀ ācuteā orĀ āadorableā more than once and Iām proud of it! šš
About my childhood... I dunno it was pretty normal, although I got bullied from 5th grade to second year of high school :( it was tough, I even developed depression at the age of 14 due to the lack of friends and the constant name-calling and pranks, but I donāt know if it would be okay to talk about it since that was on my teen years... Overall, my childhood was okay, I used to be a curious little girl, I loved to wear pink dresses or skirts xD pink was always my favourite colour c: š At the age of 8 I was forced to attend English lessons as an extracurricular activity, and I ended up loving it! Iām currently teaching this language to my bffās aunt and Iām planning on studying English at university to be a teacher ^.^ I also had a fascination for women as a child, I always created female characters for my stories, or played girl barbies with my friend, nowadays Iām a feminist and always try to defend my fellow women c: (as long as itās an unfair situation for them, ofc)Ā āļøš
Write a little about your simming time. How do you like to play your game? Which style of blogs do you like? Who are your main characters and how did you come up with them? Do you tell people in RL you are a simmer?
I learnt about sims when I was in 6th grade I think, but didnāt take interest on it until sims 4 was announced, so I started palying when I was 15 ^^ I love playing legacy style, and also use the game to take nice pictures (Iām still learning how to edit, itās quite fun but also time-consuming ;; ).
I follow all the simblrs who follow me tbh ^^ but I love simatography blogs! Maybe one day Iāll learn how to do proper edits and poses, and then Iāll become a simatography simblr š
Main characters... I donāt really have, my favourite ones though are Anine and Kyung-soo. Anine was the result of a frustration night *shot* I didnāt use to have much confidence on my sims, so I put all of my effort on her, I really like the facial features of Nordic women, so I decided sheād have Nordic origins, and ended up loving her so much that I posted about her ^^ as for her personality, I didnāt have a slight idea of how her behaviour or characteristics could be, but by that time I was kind of obsessed with Overwatch, and all of a sudden imagined her in a D.Va cosplay thanks to zaumaās CC, so I thought the best was giving her a gamer/otaku likes, and her personality in general is really based off mine, sheās a happy-go-lucky girl in her late teens, always friendly and willing to help people. I had the idea of making an Asian OC the night I went to Monsta X concert, and that way I created Kyung, heās kind of a frustrated idol lol, heās got a really tragic story involving being rejected by his parents, friends and entertainment gorups, but is always smiling and tries his best to make people happy, kind of resembling the life of a kpop idol, who only wants to see their fans happy despite of having a tough life uwu
And yes, I usually talk about my strange obsession with sims with people, they donāt see it as something productive, but luckily Iāve never been judged badly because of it. Maybe my mum thinks it gets extreme at times, but I try to balance simming with real life activities :3
Write about your time on tumblr. Maybe some nice stories of the people you met. How you got started. How long have you been on here? What has been good and bad? What kind of things have your learnt? What kind of things do you think you can help other simmers with? Any nice stories from here? Do you still have your first sims?
(I didnāt know if I should have talked about Tumblr in general or the Simblr community... So I made a summary of both just in case)
I started using Tumblr when I was 14, my best internet friend had a blog by those times and encouraged me to make one as well. I was starting to get depressive by those years, so most of my posts or reblogs were aboutĀ ādarkā things (I deleted that blog long ago, lol), so Tumblr was like a safe place, where I could speak my mind out without getting judged, I even met some people who suffered the same illness as me, and they always supported me and gave me strength to keep going on (unfortunately Iāve lost contact with them :c)
Regarding Simblr, I joined in at the beginning of 2018 I think, I wanted to share my ideas with people, but I was too shy then... It was thanks to the SSFF challenges that I started getting out of my cocoon and talking to simmers, and Iām so glad I did! The people I met are lovely and Iām really happy to have them now ^^
Things I learnt are lots of... From meshing or modding, to social values. I mean, itās always good to have basic knowledge of informatics (it helps a lot, especially where I live), and Iām very grateful for all of those tutorials who taught me so many things. But I learnt one thing or two about people in general, I always used to put words into othersā mouth, I always thought they didnāt like me because of my looks or my behaviour, that they thought I was weird; now, I understand that they might be like me, theyāre simply too shy to talk, and I wonāt know what they they actually think about me if I never go and sayĀ āhiā; and now thanks to thatĀ āhiā I met wonderful people, people who are creative and wonāt judge me... Thatās the most precious thing I learnt š
I donāt think I could help other simmers from a technician point of view, but Iām always here to talk and share my little knowledge, I love hearing other simmersā ideas (one of my best friends irl isnāt a simmer, but loves to create OCs and stories, and Iām always there to listen about them c: ), suggesting some other things for their stories, etc. I think I could offer more of a friendship than technical help, but itās something as well! š
And yes, I keep my first sims! In a folder so full of various saves that I must erradicate someday *shot* I had them for three generations, if I remember correctly, the legacy began with a pink-haired sim named Jenna, she married a vampire townie from Bridgeport, they had a daughter, Emilie, Emilie married a townie from University, who was a Plantsim, so they had a plantsim daughter, Wynn, Wynn had an imaginary friend named Percy (whoās also a fairy) and theyāre now in University, theyāre a couple. I made such a chaos when I was 15 xD
Write about the people you have met here. Do you take part in discord chats? Met anyone in RL? Which simmers influenced you? Do you do RPs?
I donāt take part in discord chats, I made a discord user a few days ago but tbh I donāt use it a lot ;; Iād love to be in a server tho, itās just that I donāt talk much when Iām in a group ^_^ā
I havenāt met any simmer irl, Iād love to, tho! It seems to be a little hard to find simmers where I live š
The simmers that influence me the most are marshmallowsims, gruesim, theseprettylittlepixels and lehma! I want to develop my own style though, theyāre my biggest references and hope to inspire people as much as they do someday ^^
And Iāve never done RPs, but Iād love to do some! Actually, Iām working on an AU with a sim of nonsimsical ās, itās really fun to plan, and I hope I can do more of them in the future ^^
I think that's all. I want to add that you can always come and say hi! šš»š we can chat about sims or whatever you like, and also, if you got any other question for me or for my OCs (although their character sheets are still pending ;; ) don't hesitate to ask š
PS Excuse my horrible English ;;

Greaser!Wonwoo Part 1
(A/N) SO... I decided to do this. IĀ finally got the courage to do this. I was debating if I should do this for Wonwoo or Jaehyun, like I was writing this for Jaehyun, but I have a different idea for him now. I have a massive AU that I've had in my head for a good year now and there's most likely gonna be little hints to it in all of these š Please keep in mind that I'm on mobile 99% of the time so some formatting may be weird. Another thing... I might have Sims based on these scenarios that I might make another blog for š¤
Reader - Female
Greaser!Wonwoo... no one knows who he was until he started to hang out with the Diamond Gang, Pledis Prep's local criminals
He just kinda appeared out of nowhere with Mingyu
Rumors has it he's a narc, but that doesn't make sense... he's.... in the gang... like Seungcheol has straight up said that if Wonwoo was a narc, ain't no one would know he even existed
What had happened was Minghao and Mingyu were partners with Wonwoo for an assignment
Wonwoo has dragged to a race one day and was just kinda thrown in the car after Mingyu get his head smacked
You know that scene in Grease where Kenickie gets hit in the head before Thunder Road?
Yea, that's Mingyu and Wonwoo right now
Seungcheol told Wonwoo if he wins, he doesn't have to join the Diamond Gang, he can just leave with no consequences and live his life. If he loses, he's now the group's running bitch
Take a guess at what happens?
He actually wins, but Jeonghan convinced him to stay with promises of getting to know how to break into the local library after hours
You wanna know how Jeonghan knows this? He's not only lazy, he's also the librarian's son, he has a key duh
Y/N was the stereotypical good girl
Follows rules? Check. Straight A's? Check. Always home at curfew? Check.
Wonwoo hates being called a Greaser and he finds the Socs name stupid
Wonwoo thinks the labels are just pretentious bullshit
Seungcheol has told Wonwoo horror stories about the Socs
How they treats their girls, how they have the cops wrapped around their fingers, how Jeonghan was put out of comission for 3 months just for walking on Soc territory
Wonwoo tries not to believe the b.s., but it's really hard when it seems like all there is, is just a bunch of hatred between the groups
So, he walks around the town, Masonridge, to just clear his mind, when he sees the Soc gang, Neo, at the baseball park, beating up someone who looks to be protecting someone else?
Wonwoo looks around for something to wave in the air to make himself look scary, seeing as he doesn't have the Diamond Gang leather jacket yet.
Right now he's in his glasses, a light yellow sweater with the cutest little sweater paws
He sees a bat left behind by the Pledis baseball team and he goes up to Neo and confronts them
He sees Johnny, Taeil and Yuta turn around and he gets a closer view of the situation
It's Dino... protecting Y/N... after she said she wouldn't sleep with Johnny
At this point, Wonwoo sees red and he starts swinging
The 3 memebrs of Neo seeing this haul ass back to S.M. Academy, but not before Yuta warns Wonwoo that Y/N is just a troubled slut in a poodle skirt
Dino helps calm down Wonwoo and they both help Y/N
Y/N is kind enough to let both of them come to her house, seeing as her parents aren't home, for some tea and so she can wrap up Dino's wounds
Wonwoo texts Seungcheol to let him know what just went down and Seungcheol texts him to stay at Y/N's, let Dino rest and don't let Y/N out of his sight
Tbh this takes place in one of those future of the pasts, like it's 1950s styled... but it takes place in the present
Anywho, all three finally get home and Wonwoo and Y/N patch Dino up and after a little bit, he decides to take a nap because as we all know, getting the shit beaten out of you hurts a lot and may or may not take a lot of energy out of you.
Wonwoo starts to douse off and he doesn't even notice that Y/N left the room until his phone buzzed and he got a text from an unknown number saying Y/N looks really good standing on her balcony right now, with a photo attachment of Y/N looking like a goddess out to the fading skyline
Wonwoo immediately shoots up from the couch, calling for Y/N
He sees her chilling on the balcony, swaying with her cat, Mochi, to some Michael Buble
He's just hypnotized... like he's not one to fall in love at first sight, so he'll call this love in the first 4 hours of knowing you
He finally speaks up, making sure you're okay after what happened
Putting Mochi down, you say you're fine, just a little shaken up
Wonwoo and you are quiet for a little bit, until he finally asks why Yuta called you what he did
You tell him about him the story of your father and mother. Your mom was a Greaser and your dad was a Soc
Within the first year of your life, your mom left with your dad's best friend, who was also a Greaser
Using the excuse she needed more freedom and adventure and that's exactly your dad's friend could provide
When you turned 16, your dad was super protective of you, but you decided to act out like your mother
You got wrapped up in the wrong group, you hung out with Neo and your first love was Yuta, as you were his. You gave your virginity to him, he gave his to you
After that happened, he started to act distant and become more of the Danny Zuko type of Greaser, flirted with everyone, tried to get into everyone's pants, he literally didn't give a fuck anymore
Turns out, while he originally did love you, he just kinda stopped, but he still cared about you... so instead of just ending it, he just led you on and continued to let you believe that he was in love with you1a
After that night when you both lose your virginities, he started to ghost you and you saw him less and less and even thought it was never offical, it was unofficially offical.
So to cope with your heartbreak, you ended up throwing yourself into studying and this is when you met Dino
Yuta didn't like that you were talking with another guy even if it's someone like Dino who you saw as a brother.
Yuta was pissed so he started to spread a rumor about the reason y'all broke up was because you were sleeping with everyone at all of the schools around Masonridge
Yugyeom from JYP Prep, Hyuk from Jellyfish School of Music, and 4 of the other members of Neo were just a fraction of the names that were thrown around. All of them denied it except the Neo members of course
Your father was pissed and while you apologized about treating him the way you did, he didn't fault you because you realize what you were doing
Wonwoo, sensing your tears and against his better judgement, immediately hugged you and held you while you cried
While this was happening, your father came down and saw Dino on the couch, curled up like a cat, using his Diamond Gang jacket as a pillow and Mochi's favorite blanket to cover himself
Knowing Dino, he didn't question this , but still your father goes looking for you and finds you asleep on the bench, while Wonwoo is pacing, trying to stop himself from destroying Yuta
Your dad speaks up asking who he is
Wonwoo introduces himself as one of Dino's friends
Turns out your dad knows exactly who he is because you talked about the tall cute brooding guy who sits in the corner of the library and you're too scared to ask him to move so you could get a book you needed for class
Wonwoo blushes at the fact that you told your father you think he's cute
Your dad shakes you awake because he doesn't want you to fall asleep on the bench when it looks like a storm is coming oh if he only knew
Dino and Wonwoo are offered to stay for dinner and they won't turn down free food like ever
While your dad and Dino are setting up the table, you and Wonwoo are cutting the vegetables and doing the prep
Wonwoo keeps taking peeks at you wondering if you still thinks he's cute or if you don't even like guys anymore or has your shirt always been unbuttoned to the 3rd button and are you getting hot because he is and are yo-
In the middle of thinking, he slices his finger and Nurse Y/N is needed one again hmm... nurse Y/N with Patient!Member? š but what kind of patient is the question
You bring him to the guest room because your dad is very queasy when it comes to blood it makes that time of the month SO MUCH FUN
Wonwoo is sitting on the guest bed while you're cleaning the wound and wrapping his index and middle finger together and Wonwoo just can't stop thinking about how cute you look so focused
You put the final touches on and before you get up to the first aid kit away, Wonwoo sees his chance and kisses you
At first you were confused but then you melted into it
He tasted like coffee and mint and your lips had a light tinge of strawberries
He didn't want to scare you or your dad or Dino. So, he just kept his hands down by his side
Much to his shock, you decided to straddle him and kiss him a bit harder
Wonwoo was in a state of pure bliss until Dino knocked on the door causing you to stand straight up and Wonwoo to fall back in disbelief
Dino, totally oblivious to what was happening beforehand, cheerfully told yall it was time for dinner
Cue the most awkward dinner for Wonwoo, sitting there thinking about the kiss and all of his feelings because he's been thrown for a tailspin in the past month between becoming a member of the Diamond Gang and falling in love after 4 hours with a Soc
Seungcheol finally comes to pick the two after dinner and he thanks you for helping, even shaking your father's hand
You asked your father why he was so chill with the Greasers in his house. Not only Greasers, the notorious Diamond Gang
He said that in his years of being a cop, he noticed that the Diamond Gang hasn't done anything wrong except for drag racing
Other than that, they're just a group of guys who found the real home in each other and anyone who hangs out with Dino is a good kid
And he already likes Wonwoo miles ahead of Yuta
The next day, Yuta confronts you about being with Wonwoo, saying what does Wonwoo have that he doesn't?
You started to list everything about Wonwoo, even the little things about him, that made Yuta furious because you never talked about him like that
Yuta challenged Wonwoo through you, you could say
Yuta tried to pull that whole if he's so good why won't he race me bullcrap and before he could say the last word, Wonwoo accepted
Yuta marched away and you looked at Wonwoo like what the hell
Wonwoo gets up all this courage and says that he knows that he can and will win if you're there with him, cheering alongside the Diamond Gang
You told Wonwoo that Yuta plays very dirty and he's not one to be taken lightly
You smack his arm but also tell him that you'll be there with Nayoung and Roa
The day comes and you couldn't be anymore nervous, you kept thinking what if Yuta does something drastic to hurt Wonwoo and holy shit you've felt this way about one other guy and that was Yuta and you don't like this feeling but you like Wonwoo and has Wonwoo always had that nice of a chest in a white t-shirt?
Nayoung shook you off of your thoughts as the guys got in their cars, Yuta shooting you a wink and Wonwoo blowing you a kiss you know that snarky kiss Xiumin did? with the two fingers? Yea it's like that just with more love instead of snark
Xiyeon stated the rules... there was no rules... and started the countdown
3.... Wonwoo looks at you, 2..... he mouths I love you, 1..... he hits the gas pedal
Both taking off like a rocket, Wonwoo was behind for a good chunk of the race
The turn was coming up and Yuta has going well over 70 while Wonwoo was going to drift
Yuta takes the corner....
But he takes it too wide and crashes
Wonwoo stops, just lead foot on the brake and he unbuckles and runs to Yuta's car
He's shouting and trying to get a response from Yuta, anything, a groan, shout of pain, something

I was wondering how you first started your berry legacy? Did you make a new simblr for it? How did you first start posting and getting into a routine? I really want to make a legacy myself but i'm scared that it would look really mediocre and unorganized! Any tips on how to plan out the storyline and start posting? Thank you!! (asking this to a few different blogs so sorry if yo see this question somewhere else)
Iām honestly super honored that youāre asking me! Iām still a pretty small simblr compared to a lot of people.
Iām going to put this under a cut, just so it doesnāt clutter up peopleās dashes because I RAMBLE (like seriously, Iām re-reading it all now and I go on and on and on)Ā but Iām gonna cover everything you asked!
TL;DR:Ā get mildly inspired, get involved in the community and have fun with it!
I cannot recommending creating a new blog enough. While itās definitely easier to just create a sub-blog off your personal, youāll have a harder go at keeping things separate once things take off. Plus then you probably wonāt have ALL your million tumblr things that youāre already following mixed in with your sim stuff, making things so much harder to follow.
Once you start your simblr (whether a sub-blog or whole new tumblr), TAG EVERYTHING. XKIT SAVES LIVES. Not really, but it will save you a lot of time once you install the Quick Tags and make tag bundles. Seriously.
At least once a day, aĀ āreblog if youāre a maxis match simblrā thing comes across my dashādonāt be afraid to reblog those when youāre starting out. (Or the alpha equivalent if thatās your thing).
Seriously, donāt be afraid to reach out to people and get involved. Ask for sim requests, reply to things, join a Discord serverādonāt be afraid to talk to people! Iāve actually made a few good friends this time around. Itās awesome.
This is just one of the unfortunate realities about thingsāif your pictures look good, youāll get noticed quicker and blah blah. You can get by on just writing, but itās a lot harder. This is still tumblr. Itās microblogging. LOOOOONG text posts (like this one lmao) are not what itās geared towards.
Anyway. I play TS4 on Ultra, and that does a lot of work for me. Sometimes all you really need to do is sharpen and brighten things up. Reshade is another good alternative, if your computer can handle itāthat takes a lot of the decision making out because it edits for you! I used to use PickyPikachuās reshade presets. The downside is that itās pretty resource heavy.
The basic point here is that having good lookinā pictures goes a long way to making your stuff lookĀ ānot mediocre.ā
Also, and this is a side thingāfind a good theme for your simblr, something that looks good for both text posts and pictures, probably something with either a sidebar or header (or both).
This is the meat of the section and itās all really Kit/Pastille-specific.
I started up the Pastel Pastilles because I saw Berryās challengeāI had already read Splash of Color a long time ago, and had a (now obviously abandoned) TS3 rainbowcy. But TS4 was fun and ran like a beast and I liked berry sims, so I dove in. If you were to go back in my archives, though, youād see that I started posting a TS3 LEPacy, and thatās not even my first one.
Iām not going to even talk about the Grims in this post, since theyāre really new. But theyāre a prime example of using community involvement to stay interested haha. Iām very excited to play with Ruby and her future family because of all the nice sims people sent for her to eat alive become friends with.Ā
Planning with the Pastilles
With the Pastilles, I honestly got a little tipsy one night and did my initial planning based around Halseyās Hopeless Fountain Kingdom. Likeā¦ Not even gonna lie. That was honestly my starting point. You can almost see hints of this in some places. From there, I had certain scenes I wanted to hit.
Gen 1 - Luna -Ā āHopelessā; itās about being in a shitty relationship and hoping that changes lmao (āI hope hopeless changes over timeā). Luna and Dianthus were meant to have a much more obviously toxic relationship but Luna ended up having four kids by her second pregnancy and I just couldnāt play and write that fast. However, I always knew that Lunaās big moment would be telling Dianthus to get out.
Gen 2 - Verity Vine -Ā āNow or Neverā/ā100 Lettersā - There are a couple things that have stayed consistent in this gen: Veri and her dreams, the peach spouseās dad was gonna be a dick and they would be separated for years, and they were gonna hook back up at a wedding.Ā
My very first concept was that Riesling was going to be a bit more wishy-washy and bend to his fatherās will (henceĀ āNow or Neverā being the song). By the middle of the generation, it was clear that Veri would become the distant one (āhe said āplease donāt go away,ā I said āitās too lateāā).
Part of writing a sims legacy sometimes isā¦ letting the sims do the writing for you. Meri and Forest werenāt supposed to be the ones getting married (it was supposed to be Chai Tea and Black Cherry) and they definitely werenāt supposed to have the twins but honestly the story is better for it, you know? And obv most of Verilingās story isnāt the way I initially planned.
All this said, once I knew where I wanted the story to go, I knew I wanted to plan around a few set-pieces: the fountain scene where Riesling trips onto Veri and she realizesĀ āOH SHIT,ā the scene where Eiswein walks in, Punk!VeriāsĀ āI donāt dream at all anymore,ā and RieslingāsĀ āHi, Iām Riesling Puck, you might recognize me from your dreams.ā Those were all scenes I knew I HAD to get.
Gen 3 - ??? -Ā āAngel on Fireā - itās about anxiety lmao so I donāt mind linking it, itās pretty obvious. Gen 3 has an anxious heir, a song about anxiety was on the nose.
I donāt really recommend the getting tipsy part, but definitely do recommend going in with a basic concept.
The cool thing about challenges is that you already have the guidelines as a starting point. One of my favorite parts about this challenge in particular is seeing how people re-interpret the rulesāfor instance compare theĀ Gumdrops, Frosts, Amours, Pastilles, Fairyflosses, Prismsāwe all started from the same basicĀ rulesĀ and thereās still a lot of variation, especially once you get past the initial introductions.
Also, SERIOUSLY: donāt be afraid to take inspiration from crazy placesāa song you heard on the radio, a movie, your own life, whatever. Like, I decided Veriās generation would have itās first Act at Oxtail University because of the ādream of ivy covered walls and smoky french cafesā line inĀ āBeautifulā (from the Heathers musical). The song otherwise has VERY LITTLE to do with Gen 2. Itās just that line became a starting point for me.
Keeping Things Lookinā Snazzy with the Pastilles
Looking back, you can kind of see Gen 1 was a bit brighter and lighter/different in editing style than Gen 2. I purposefully set out to get aĀ ādreamyā feel for Gen 2ā²s pictures. It works for me and the Pastillesāit might not for your legacy! Play around with things to see what works.
Iāve also noticed a lot of banners nowadays (they werenāt as big my first go around here on simblr, but theyāre everywhere now). I think that helps to keep things āon brand,ā organized and consistent too. I personally donāt use a banner for the PastillesāI didnāt start with one, and now it looks super wrong to me when I try to use oneā¦.Ā So instead, Iād recommend looking at @frost-rainbowcyāshe is SUPER on-brand. I can only aspire to reach that level of #a e s t h e t i c.
HOWEVER, I do keep everything on my blog hyper-organizedāthereās a main page where everythingās pretty much linked, and the character page.Ā
TBH, you donāt need to go that in-depth. I just like leaving weird easter eggs in places. You might too.
Posting Consistently
So, I started posting the Pastilles officially almost a week after I made the first post with Luna. Thatās because I played a BUNCH right at the beginning, so Iād have something consistent to post for a while. It wasnāt initially as story-heavy as it is now. Thatās something you probably want to decide before you start posting.
Right now, Iām posting inconsistently because Iām trying to wait around for Cats and Dogs and not give into the temptation to give Veri and Ries the babies they keep wishing for, butā¦.
Iām in game almost every dayāI get off work most days between 2 and 4 now, so by 6 PM Iāve eaten/showered/started up TS4. Even if itās just to make a sim for someone.
I tend to do all my picture editing on Sundays, as itās my day off. Sometimes it bleeds over into Monday, my other day off. I donāt always write posts up those days, but I at least stick them in the queue so theyāre THERE. For me, it helps giving myself that weird deadline lmao
As a result, I almost always have something queued up.
I utilize the queue like MAD. Right now itās set at 6 posts a day between 3 PM and 12 AM EST, but I change it up depending on what I have going on and what I can crank out. Usually I leave it on 13 posts a day.
Basically, learn what works for you. It does take some trial and error, but youāll get it eventually.
Now hereās the real truth: you wonāt post consistently if you donāt love your game or your sims.
I love playing the Pastilles as much as I love writing them. To the point that I have them backed up in several places just in case. Iām genuinely attached to the family, and that makes it worth it to me. Sometimes that doesnāt happen immediately (I love Luna, and Vino, and even Dianthus that shitbag, but you can tell that I got invested with Veri and RiesāGen 1 is 30 pages long on my blog. Gen 2 is 92 and counting).
Storywise, I stay interested because I love the fluffy romance bits and snappy dialogue as much as the Drama Bombs, and also (spoilers) Iām a sucker for supernatural stuff. So I tailored my legacy to fit that.
But when I donāt want to play sometimes I just go in game, grab a few pictures of them in CAS and redo the character page for the 25th time. And thatās okay too. I just always try to make sure I have something to post, even if itās a small (even if itās just Rieslingās face. Because I know thatās what yāall want. Itās cool. I get it).
I seriously rambled a lot, but I hope this helps!! Once you get started, please let me know too! Iām rooting for you, non, and any nons to come after you.

Where have I been the last two years?
But if you do care, the answer is below the cut.Ā
Honestly, it was a combination of numerous factors, primary of which is/was returning to university for another two years. On top of working to pay for tuition and the endless amounts of studying (yay! nursing!), I pretty much had no time to play my game. I know there are numerous simmers out there who are in school and/or working. I really donāt know how they manage to update on a regular schedule and post such quality content while still being able to thrive out in the real world. Iāve got so much respect for those creators, and theyāre part of the reason why Iām back.Ā
Iāve been lurking around tumblr the last two months. At first I wasnāt even logged into my account (I forgot my password and was too lazy to go through the process of recovering it). I was just searching through the tags and admiring all the pretty sims, the gorgeous interiors, and all the maxis-match custom content (WOW!). Ever since I logged into my account, Iāve been revisiting and lurking over at some blogs I used to frequent. Seeing how legacies have grown and how people have become more creative in telling stories made me miss playing and storytelling. It also made me miss being part of this community.
Now for the bad news...
I wonāt be continuing with my Drake legacy. I miss playing that family. But toward the end of gen two, I was spending way more time downloading cc (even if I never used them) and making the speech bubbles on photoshop. It became more of a chore than something I truly enjoyed, which is why it was easy for me to abandon the save. I have the file in an external hard drive, but re-opening that save doesnāt interest me right now.
Iām still on a shared PC, so there wonāt be 20 queued posts a day or anything like that.Ā But I do hope to share my gameplay, including my current family. I still want to be able to tell a little bit of a story but I donāt want to get stuck on the frills, so maybe no speech bubbles (unless I figure out a way to make them in less than two seconds). I mean, I told myself no custom content this time; and I lasted about a week before I downloaded all of @peacemaker-icās cc, because those furniture might as well be in-game. EA should be sending over the cheque, tbh.
Anyway, my long-winded explanation is getting in the way of dinner. Before I go, I just want to say thank you to all the lovely simmers who sent their thoughts my way when I just up and left tumblr. Iām really very sorry for just disappearing. I sometimes thought about writing a post to explain where I had gone, but I didnāt really see the point if I wasnāt going to come back and post anyway. Hopefully, I stick around longer this time. I do plan to be more honest about when I can post and how Iām feeling about the game. And Iāll try to be quicker with replies and more available to chat from now on. If youāve made it this far, thank you for reading!Ā
Oh, and please recommend new people I should follow! And by new, I mean active in the last two years, lol. I love stories, legacies, challenges, etc. I tend to prefer maxis match for my own gameplay, but I really have no preference when it comes to my feed.

reaction post typed while watching SPN 12x17Ā āThe British Invasionā
the deadly duo writing anything:
06:08pm
yeah i downloaded this yesterday and i was just DREADING it so i put it off as long as it took for me to feel bad that my tumblr queue is empty. deadly duo? no thank you
even though i have next to no idea what this episode is about, i'm kinda smug that this was the least-watched episode of the season so far (via wikipedia), 1.57 million vs the 1.7m~ average this season, and will probably remain the least-watched episode given weāre nearing the end of the season
things i donāt care about that iām expecting to happen: reversing/erasing mickās character development with only the slightest hint to previous episodes, no cas, no characters of colour (or alternately, characters of colour who die or have something else horrible happen to them), lady characters with little to no personality and a weird inclination to rape or kill people, consent issues in general, logic fails, a wonky plotline that makes no sense and fucks up all the work better writers have done all season - and indeed, throughout the entire 12 seasons of the show
(in case youāre new here, i donāt like these writers one bit, and iām forever bitter that they still write their garbage for an otherwise okay/good show, and, most importantly, never seem to attempt to improve. i give them the benefit of the doubt every episode and they always let me down. i, like many people, have stopped expecting things.)
aside from the occasional use of the b-word and a lackĀ of characters of colour, this show is otherwise fine - and has at least improved with the misogyny and representation in recent years. but iām pretty sure a majority of the really shitty racist rapey misogynist stuff in this show has the deadly duoās names on it. they keep writing things that erase other peopleās better ideas and change the course of the story, and alter the overall feel of it, and since their episodes irrevocably becomeĀ partĀ of the canon, their writing never stops affecting the show negatively.
someone give me a meme where they are forcibly removed from the planet
okay okay enough whining letās just watch this thing

06;28
eyyy the framing so the headmistress has horns
iām a sucker for that kind of symbolism
-
06;29
tbh this is giving me a doctor who vibe, maybe because of the british school kids and a creepy vibe
specifically the episode with anthony head as the headmaster and the screechy bat aliens
-
06:33
but three episodes ago mick didnāt raise his hand when sam (or mary?) askedĀ āwho here has killed somethingā
inconsistency, or mick just lying by keeping quiet?
-
06;39
EILEEN HI YOUR HAIR LOOKS GOOD
-
sam:Ā āso, after we talked, you went back toĀ coeur d'alene, idaho?ā
eileen: ārightā
the exposure script........ guys........... iām suffering
-
06;42
āi did some digging, check your phoneā
eileen talks the same way sam does, thatās cool
-
DEAN LOOK AT THE GODDAMN ROAD
-
06:44
āthatās the planā
i wanna hug eileen so badly, she makes me happy
-
06;45
eileen:Ā ābye samā
dean: āthatās cuteā
sam:Ā ācāmonā
yeah DEAN it IS really cute when two people are in a long-distance relationship and have a phone conversation and sayĀ ābye [insert name here]ā at the end of the phone call
speaking of, WHEREāS CAS. WHEN DID YOU LAST TALK
-
06:48
mick is basically crowley and cas mixed together and poured into one asshole with a pretty face and childhood trauma
man they need some new character archetypes
-
06:51
dean: āitās not kellyās fault, she didnāt know lucifer was her boyfriendā
mick: āyeah, could happen to anyoneā
SOMEONE LOOK ME IN THE FACE AND TELL ME THATāS NOT ABOUT SEASON 11 POSSESSED!CAS DESTIEL, I DARE YOU
-
06:53
mick: āyou shouldāve shot her between the eyes immediatelyā
i still see these kinds of comments on the spn peopleās instagram, i guess a lot of people missed the point of the season where the boys are going for the Some Monsters Are Decent People approach
-
06;55
lucifer and diagonās telepathic conversation kinda reminds me of season 4/5 for some reason. makes me a lil nostalgic
-
07:01
deanās all squirmy and sleepy and wants to cuddle his own arm
-
07:02
doctor to daigon:Ā āyouāre her... partner?ā
diagon: āno.ā
doctor: ābirth coach?ā
diagon: āsureā
cute character thing or lowkey homophobia, who knows
-
07:05
luciferās hair looks fluffy
also i feel dull inside and kinda melancholy
this episode makes me feel like iāve forgotten something and itās cold outside and thereās no heater inside,Ā and as though iāve got five hours left to wait until dinner
just generally unenthused, really
and very distinctly, itās reminding me of 2007/2008 when every day felt like that, at the peak of my doctor who obsession, when i started watching spn. idk i donāt feel good right now, i want this to be over
feels like iām wasting time
-
07:10
lucifer licking the floor
nnnnnnnnnnnn
this is so unnecessaryĀ
GUYS I WANNA STOP IāM SO OVER WATCHING THIS SAME TROPE AGAIN AND AGAIN
-
07:11
i figured it out!! itās like a background episode. something you put on while you do something else, and donāt really bother to watch
thatās what they were going for right
because thatās what they got
-
07:15
ketch:Ā āmrs winchester, i believe youāre drawn to dangerā
*cough* dangerous john winchester *cough*
also as cute as the murder pair are together, iām not digging the mary/ketch thing personally
-
07:16
legit thought this was cas for 2 seconds and i got excited
same fucking nose and everything
-
19:19
!1!! wow!!! a nameless, personality-free murderous black man who attacks an innocent white man unprovoked for no obvious reason!!!!!!!! how fucking realistic and topical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
/sarcasm
WHaT THE ACTUAL FUCK
ARE THEY
FUCKING
DOING
my exhaled soul is puking right now
itās okay soul, theyāre just mean nasty racists who donāt know any better and keep doing the same problematic things over and over without a moment of self-reflection!!!

look, nobody can ever, ever tell me that the writers donāt have a say in what kind of actor is cast for a role. they absolutely do. and you can tell, because the ones who are the worst in every other possible way are ALSO the ones who cast their rare characters of colour only into the Bad Guy/Dead Guy/Doormat roles. and itās always the same. itās one ~innocent coincidence~ after another and IT ALL ADDS UP TO nOT a FUCKiNG cOINCIDENCE
some writers have the capacity to offer diversity and positive representation, or are at least aware of what they might improve in the future. but these guys? all they offer are mere caricatures of good things that are actually poison, based on cliches and stereotypes. and i canāt stand itĀ (āāŠā)āå½”ā»āā»Ā
TWELVE YEARS
TWELVE YEARS WEāVE PUT UP WITH THESE FUCKHOLES
WHY ARE THEY STILL WRITING THE SAME SHIT
-
07:48
cas:Ā āthis is a voicemail. make yourrr... voice... a mail.ā
sounds like chandler bing trying to make a jingle forĀ āvoicemailā (āpants! theyāre like shorts, but looongerā)
also how often does cas change his phone/voicemail? i swear he had a different voicemail a few weeks back. if the brothers taught cas to change phones often, imagine all theĀ ānew phone itās meā messages they must send.
also if youāve ever set up a new phone you know itās way more time-consuming than youād think. at least for me. i think iāve only set up voicemail once in my life and i never did it again on a new phone. right now i donāt even have a sim card or phone number, i just use my phone with the home wifi and it only has space for 5 apps and no photos or anything. you people with your fancy phones that do everything, i donāt know what thatās like. cas must be so tech-savvy by now. i wonder if he just keeps getting the same make and model of phone over and over. also that must cost hELLA CASH like where are they getting that money?? are they still running credit card scams? (how many credit card companies ARE there to scam?? do they scam the same people multiple times? if theyāre at the bunker all the time wouldnāt companies realise their cards are going to the same place and are potentially being used in the same stores?)Ā is cas being financially supported by dean and sam? I WANT ANSWERS
-
07:50
so the winchesters never sayĀ ābyeā at the end of phone calls
and if the script hadnāt let jared know that deanās phone call was over, then sam is talking REALLY LOUDLY even though dean could theoretically still be on the phone to cas
also since eileen is deaf sam doesnāt need to fucking shout????????//
-
07:52
so the black dude with a knife is a) evil, b) dead
thanks thatās so great yay just what i always wanted Ā ą² _ą²
i get that eileen is A Capable Deaf Woman but ffs have these people ever heard of notĀ throwing other oppressed people under the steamroller to elevate a disabled white woman
-
08:01
sam where the hell did you pick up that accent
-
08;11
okay the whole thing about daigon vanishing and eileen shooting the slimy british guy and then mick not shooting eileen was pretty cool
consistent character development!!! and daigon still lives!!!
but also why was it sam bargaining for eileenās life..... romance probably
-
08:14
NNNNNNNNNN
KETCH AND MARY
/SQUIRMY UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING
this offically counts as a notp now
if the deadly duo thinks itās a good idea then itās a big ol nope from me
urhghgh flashbacks to 9x03 and how i actually told myself it was cute for 2 minutes before i burst into tears, and i didnāt know why i was so upset until tumblr explained me a thing
(i still have that reaction post somewhere. it wasnāt on tumblr, it was just to my friends)
-
08:17
also if we humour these dickwads and think about this mary/ketch pairing for a second, if we ever needed confirmation that john winchester was abusive, can we take it from the fact mary has a type ?
ugh god the heteronormativity of it all, too
itās different to me suggesting ketch/dean had potential, because the point is dean HATES ketch and doesnāt trust him a bit, they could fuck and they both know thereās no safety and wouldnāt let their guards down for a second. wheras mary seems to trust ketch and values his approval and therein lies the danger of an abusive relationship.
and YES, anyone whoās thinking āelmie you complain about everythingā, iām complaining because everything IS a problem
deadly duo ep?Ā more likeĀ ā§ļ½„ļ¾:*ā§ļ½„ļ¾: U N N E C E S S A R Y Ā B U L L S H I TĀ *:ļ½„ļ¾ā§*:ļ½„ļ¾ā§
-
08:23
all that said, ketch is still a cute fumbling bean tbh
if he wasnāt the kinda guy who would beat someone to death when heās angry, this might work fine
THE CUTENESS IS A RUSE. HEāS SEDUCING US ALL
-
08:27
lucifer likes making the cute demon all flustered, pass it on
10/10 bisexual devil
(also: observe the pick-n-mix of deadly duo characters of colour-- fig b; cute black demon = Bad Guy + Doormat)
-
08:35
lady:Ā āhunters are dogsā
ketchās smirk was definitely about mary and again iām ehhhhhhh on the subject
-
08;37
:c
mick
nooo
fuck you ketch
:c
i has a sad
-
08;38
deanās humid sigh because he doesnāt know if cas is okay. he also has a sad
-
08:40
for the first time ever, my video file has next weekās preview tacked on the end
next weekās looks hella better than this weekās
fuck yeah give me a basement goat deity
-
08:41
*sighhhh*
okay wellĀ
i get it, i get why this episode was the way it was, with mick and ketch and whatever
but
i dunno. thereās always these episodes that make me thinkĀ āelmie, why are you watching this show again? thereās nothing in its contents that makes you happy or furthers your education or even interests you slightlyā
but then i remember how much i like the other episodes by other writers
the problem is that when these people write something it brings everyone else down, and brings the whole show down
when i donāt enjoy an episodeās plot points, itās solely because it wasnāt written well enough. itās possible to watch a character youāre emotionally attached to die and sayĀ āooh that was good watchingā (i.e. ādeathās doorā with bobby)
yeah, some stuff happened that i didnāt like, but itās the context of These Writers Being The Ones Who Wrote It that makes itĀ dissatisfying. like, sure, important plot points. but it couldāve been so much better.
4/10, didnāt give a crap about anything except mick, eileen and kelly, and then mick was dead, eileen was written as a plot device for the men (i like that she was soft and emotional though, i never see myself in always-badass women), and kelly just got tossed around and told sheās gonna die because of her decision to keep the baby, and therefore her ability to choose her own fate was erased henceforth
bechdel test pass though. that was nice.
*dean voice* ādude, donāt compliment the bad guysā
#me: salty AF as per usual#12x17#deadly duo#the british invasion#season 12#Elmie watches things#post of postiness#yes this is a day late... you'll see why

Survey Results Part 3 : The Negatives
Been dreading this section! The question wasĀ ā Would like to hear what you feel could use improvement? Please be constructive! ā
My comments will be in bold.Ā Identifying comments may have those portions redacted.
Combat System Related
āThe combat system is tremendously complicated to configure and use. You have to make templates to guide the new players or they will not attract you. In my case I have decided not to use it, it requires too much time and there are faster options that favor roleplay ā
The template suggestion is a good idea.Ā This is one of the easier to learn systems weāve used over the years though, if anyone has any trouble configuring it feel free to poke any online staff board or ask in the Discord, weāre here to help!Ā
ā LRS needs to be balanced, going all points offense is just too much of an advantageĀ ā
Weāre constantly testing and considering options,will look into this further!
ā Everything. Meter being #1 on at the moment. ā
Sorry you feel that way! We do have meter as aĀ āneeds improvementā, and high priority in that category.
ā Less complicated systems not everyone is waaaaayy into the Dungeons and Dragons Aspect. i myself am from a era in SWRP where everything was Combat Meter. People will debate that combat meter is not rp and they are right from a certain point of view. However before we attacked someone or another group we extensively rped out the scenario these days its all DICE MATH DICE MATH i am horrible at math i come to SL to relax and just play out my character with the occasional battle here and there. Now i am aware thats all the current generation of SWRP but the freedom is very limited i'd prefer old school honor FFC above meter and dice but i realize there is a huge trust issue in the community which i gotta admit is somewhat logical considering the amounts of people that god-modded in the past especially the Sith and Jedi who all were SUPAH powerfull. Hell i'm a sith too but i hide it and play like Palpatine nobody knows i'm sith unless they are sufficiently alligned with the force to sense the intense dark energy hidden.Ā
Ā Eh long story short. Focus more on ROLEPLAY and less on DICE or any other system.
Ā In the end we all come to SL to escape the hectics of life adding complicated systems like CLOCKS [Large Events only as far as i heard ] does make me want to just walk away. Turfs work pretty neat but requires more consistent rules like Take 1 turf a week to prevent Big groups such as my [REDACTED] to Streamwall it all I can go on for hours but wont bother you guys ;) I love the casual rp on the sim that's what drew me in ā
ā feel like things like clocks and turf are bloat ā
Weāre looking at things like Clocks & Turf for revision or termination.Ā Those behind it are no longer with us, and we do feel itās current version is too heavy.Ā The add ons such as that are not mandatory for players to know, theyāre more for group leads and often something they can opt out of as well under certain circumstances.
ā Make LRS more like d20 ā
I wish this one elaborated a bit more.
ā Only thing I can really think of, is maybe more instructive ways to teach the LRS system, notecards can be helpful. Explain such things like weapons, armor, items, in general to be obtained, where to get them etc. Host events to maybe entice people to get them. And maybe, have more items with different stats, mind you I realize some share different stats, but from what I can see in the starter items, very few have different stats. Not saying, starter items should be powerful, just saying the things I've noticed. I could be mistaken with the items itself, and may need more experience in it. Anyway, thank you for your time :) ā
Some good suggestions here.
ā Leveling/Rank system is kinda meh'. While I do like a system that has leveling/rank to it keeps people honest and cuts down on meta/god emoting and shit. I feel like the gaps between some of the higher ranks and lower ranks seem like kinda insane. Which might be intended if so then I suppose it's fine but I feel like Emi basically can't interact with certain people in a hostile manner once she learns their abilities cause you she would have be insane to try it again lol. ā
The gaps are actually much less significant than they have been in the prior systems weāve used such as SWT & Chimera but will look further into that.Ā Iāve personally lost to a 1 on a 5, so itās not invincibleĀ mode by any means.
Build/Setting Related
āi feel it might be nice to see more places for people to sit and hang out around coronet, maybe replace some of the derelict vehicles or make it so you can sit on them like benches. id like to see more items handed out as mission rewards even if rarely. ā
ā I'd like for there to be more places to sit in Vreni and Corenet. benches or just something as simple like being able to sit on clutter such as crates, vehicles, or even ledges. ā
Been working on this, adding in more benches, small parks, etc.Ā As well as getting more staff the ability to generate items that can be given as rewards. If anyone is running a storyline that they want to request items for ask in the Discord or ask me directly, if Iām busy I can at least point you to someoneĀ who can help
ā more fun, less stress ... but I have no clue how to make that happen other than just focusing on RP and letting everything else go entirely ā
I agree! I assume this one is more about staff than the playerbase as weāve been pretty happy with the low number of OOC player vs player incidents.
ā Rentals availability notifier ā
ā It's hard to find personal rentals. I wish there was a map or something that showed where there were rentals available. ā
ā more rental homes i feels like there's not enough rental homes especially on the lower section there's like 4 i beleave maybe bump this up a little if possible as i would belave it would make it better for more people to have homes there. ā
Since the survey have added enough rentals to catch up on the waiting list.Ā While the waiting list is now empty they are all full last I checked so will add more.Ā The waiting list is why the boxes often auto-lock and do not notify.Ā When we do have freed up rentals and no list I let people know in Discord announcements. If you want to get on said list let Zenless know, specifyĀ which of the rental types/location.Ā Generally go down the list when one becomes free but if I donāt hear back from someone in 48 hours move on to the next person.
ā The island build kinda tbh ā
Would have liked elaboration as to why, I personally enjoy the contrasts in setting.
ā Add a area we can rez items we buy ā
We do have a build box, but yeah need to be in the landgroup to rez, this is to protect the sim from griefers.
ā I feel like the furries need to be toned down, a lot of them seem to be pushing the limit on what is okay for a character. Otherwise I don't have a whole lot that comes to mind. ā
If you have concerns about an avatar, contact a GM or an Admin.Ā No one else should be confronting people about avatar appearance.Ā Mentors will help those wondering if their avatars conform as well.
ā More open areas, like forests, deserts and snowy mountains, depicting the different Corellian environments and bringing more RP scenario options. ā
Worked on it with the addition of the RP scenes, currently there are 4, we may switch them up now and then, any player can use these for their adventures. As of writing this we have a snowy one, a shadowy planet, a jungle and a minimalist desert.Ā It often depends how many prims we have free how details these are.Ā Things are also added to them specifically for a story, etc.
Story Related
ā Perhaps get more people involved IN the Holonet so we have a wider scope of story coverage from other factions/sources. ā
ā StoryLine for the sim. News Reports. ā
Would love to! Contact Zenless anytime you have something you would like printed on the news, weāll take anything from briefs to full length articles. Itās generally me (Zen) who ends up writing most, but would love to have more contributors.
ā Easier access to groups. More storys that involve the "lesser" people that arnt part of a huge faction. Less hiding the roleplayers in faction bases. ā
ā More events and gatherings for other time zones. It sucks that all of them are always at 9PM at night US EST. Some of us have jobs... ā
ā Perhaps slightly more conflict between the groups. ā
ā Most improvements are at the group level. All group leads should be working to give their players some daily content. Whether it be a small quest, large mission, or just something to progress their IC storylines. Right now it seems group leads are more there for policing than GM (game master) ā
ā I feel that the Storytellers should put out more events, as well as come to defining the terms of the Clock System in a Simple way. There is too much confusion even among Admins about it. The Sim Build should also be improved to reflect 4D Coruscant. While an Island is nice it is only ever used for beach parties or the Jedi. Whilst every other RP is taking place in Coronet City or the Event Boxes. I am sorry if this was not very constructive but typing it out is a lot harder than explaining on voice. Come hangout with myself or talk to [REDACTED]. ā
ā leadership in groups focusing on small scale rp to advance players char's ICly ā
ā Could use more roleplay opportunities such as organized events. ā
Lot of similarĀ themes in these 6 so Iāll touch on them at once. Our group leads have been great and have been the primary ones responsible for the high levels of activity.Ā On the other hand since the start we had a story team that did not put much time and effort in other than those who were also group leads.Ā There was a main story arch yet few if any segments were ever run, and when these people left they asked for their stories not to be used so we had to go back to the drawing board. Weāre working very hard to get more people involved in stories/running stories, do let me know if you are interested as weāre always looking for more aid.Ā Typically we bring on people as mentors first, find out what they do well and help with stories if desired.
ā Not having jedi trying to confiscate lightsabers as if they are the cops... ā
You could go to CorSec ICly.Ā This one really seems like an IC issue as it is technically a violation of Corellian policy/law.
Staff/Management/Leadership Related
ā I feel there is a bias that favors the Jedi with staff ā
ā the admins other than Eva do not seem like they care about the players ā
ā Some of staff can at times be out of touch with the playerbase and comes off as elitist ā
ā One owner has to go as per the jedi discussion on the jedi discord. The rest of the sim is fine. ā
ā Admins ā
ā Easiest suggestion. Unity. This admin team, just like the old 4D, is being trapped in drama. Things need to be unified and aligned to help the admin team mesh, instead of argue. ā
ā some of the staff come off as condescending and rude mostly jedi who are also staff ā
ā Consensual basis of decisions by the staff. Seems like things are constantly at odds. ā
ā tessa and perry should not be admins ā
ā Really wish the admins could be more approachable and stuff :l Except for Ootarian, he cool :D ā
ā stop taking on owners who are terrible admins but just have money. wil,perry,lone,keely and so on ā
ā I feel the LRS could be slightly more balanced rank-wise. I'd also like to see more LRS items but not too many. Less staff drama would be nice as to not fracture the community and kill RP. More sim-wide events such as Pazaak tournaments, races and even combat-oriented ones would be welcome āĀ
ā Not a big fan of LRS but itās better than most dice systems. Would like to see consensual agreements on staff rather than seemingly duking it out ā
As some may have noticed there has been an overhaul of staff, much of this will seek to address any of the comments here. Everyone knows I say what I think to a fault.Ā So Iāll be transparentĀ in my POV (take as you will) though Iām sure some are going to be unhappy I even touched on this.Ā Ā The SWL Community was in bad shape after what happened on 4D for those who were here for that, I made a bad judgement call in some of the people I partnered with as our views were incompatible. I was very depressed after 4D (our prior region), and didnāt input as much as I should have when it came to staffing the sim, so they filled the staff with those who Iād consider theirĀ āfriendsā. Staff often became a battlefield of ideologyĀ between myself and what I saw as a circle of friends.Ā In no way am I ever a perfect angel, and there are patches that I could have navigated better so I am responsible for the conflicts within staff as much as the departed are.Ā Sometimes people just donāt work well together.Ā Whatās done is done though and moving forward I feel weāve been making a lot of progress in having a more cohesive team.Ā Still some rough patches as any sim with a decent sized playerbase is going to have itās share of arguments, but I can say for certaintyĀ that everyone involved in leadership now genuinelyĀ cares about the community and that weāll do our best to listen to the players and strive for consistentĀ improvement.Ā
ā Telling myself that "You seem to be breaking the system, the sith might need their own story system" isnt encouraging. We are here to help the story move along but because we are the only ones really using the Clock system. Our use of it in my opinion should be rewarded not, not discouraged so that way other groups are encouraged to use it also. And this isn't me complaining, this is how what is being said is being perceived. ā
The staff member who said this is among those who departed (who have been mentioned often here). Weāll strive for a fair environmentĀ for everyone/all groups where goal posts arenāt moved on a whim.
ā More freedom and less bureaucracy ā
You and me both :D
ā My friend who had been rping here for a few days before me and participated in two events got told she couldn't rank up because she "only earned 1 exp" meanwhile I got enough to level up and that isn't cool because we both pretty much did everything together so it feels like there might've been some bias there. ā
I know itās repetitiveĀ but the person who did this is among those who departed.Ā Fixed this personally as being consistentĀ is of extreme importance to us.
ā Maybe a little more staff so no one feels overburdened. Would love to see currency added to LRS (kind of like Chimera), most inventory items/upgrades/mods/etc. Otherwise, I love this place. Great people and great fun! ā
We are currently interested in taking on another mentor or two as there is a lot of work to be done, but weāre being careful in that we want a staff that can get a long to avoid a lot of the feedback that was brought up here on staff environmentĀ being internallyĀ hostile.Ā Ā
MISC
ā Clear advertisement of those willing to mesh-build or animate on commission for players would be nice! Even if we don't take them up on it, knowing it is available helps. ā
I like this suggestion, will think of ways to try to advertise for them.
ā - More sim events for common peopleĀ
- More story events at current scale before we try and move large scale. We really haven't even tested the waters here and yet we're trying to move larger? It's like an amusement park with one slide saying we need to buy more land rather than build more attractions in the available space to entertain people. Lets try and utilize the current setting to its fullest before we decide it needs to go larger - The main social hub moved to a neutral ownership.
Ā - More balanced meterĀ
- Less outrageous things being brought onto sim. The more outrageous things get, the harder it is to bring content because that content gets dismissed by one person with the snap of a finger rather than being a tension and toil to overcome It also puts newer players at a huge social disadvantage. ā
This one touched on a lot of things so put it in misc.Ā Pretty much touched on everything butĀ āoutrageousā in other sections.Ā What people consider outrageous is very subjective but we do try to avoid anything too crazy.
ā A lot of people are a bit bossy and obligating others what to do with their character, especially how they look. That makes people, certainly those who put a lot of effort in them, really pissed. Maybe a send out that we all should respect each other in how we look and how we roleplay. Not everyone is a rich ass who can buy what they want or so experienced in roleplay as the other. So the basic thing is respect. ā
True.Ā If any issues with an avatar or anything else, a GM or Admin should be contacted.Ā Players hostilelyĀ confronting other players is often something that will be considered a minor offense which can lead to disciplinary scenarios.Ā If you need any help do let one of us know, it makes me very sad when I hear about someone being given a hard time over something like that.
In conclusion, thank you to everyone who filled out the survey.Ā This was the hardest section to give feedback on as it does touch on a lot ofĀ ādramaā elements.Ā Iām not the smartest admin, def not the most PR or PC, I speak from the heart.Ā It means a lot to me that after six years and all the obstacles that people are still here. Iāll do my best to try to improve everyone's experience.Ā Please keep in mind we are a VERY diverse role-play community and itās literally impossible to fully please everyone, sometimes the good of the many will outweigh the good of the few but the tyranny of the majority is also something you always try to keep at bay.Ā Ā
SWRP as a whole has now lasted about fifteen years as you can trace itās origins back to 2003 while the first groups and sims really got going in 2004 with groups like the Mandalorians under Dazzo Street,Ā Jedi under Marcus Moreau and others,the first Galactic Empire.Ā Then in 2005 sims exploded with Korriban, Sirius, New Holstice, Tatooine, the founding of GAR & DLOTS.Ā Ā We may have had to do a lot of adapting and changing with the times to still be an active community, but fifteen years is an amazing accomplishment for any roleplay community.Ā Ā Weāll have our ups and downs but I think weāve proven ourselves to be as resilient as they come.Ā :)
