#which is why i wanted to make a new blog

[servospawn]

i've noticed a bit of discourse over the span of me being back here about peer recognition &what that does to a person's mental on socials.

idk if it's because of my inactivity or because i've just been on tumblr for 10+ years but it really puzzles me when i see someone fretting over the amount of notes and/or social engagement their posts seem to lack. of course we as humans love peer recognition &validation but i'd hate to think that's all some people care to focus on when it comes to their blogs.

i think we all should be posting whatever we want without trying to calculate how many notes we'll receive on any one single post because that's setting yourself up for disappointment. if you're a simblr.. i'd like to assume you came here because you enjoy playing your game, creating content or using it as a creative outlet to express your form of individuality.. the notes in this case should sort of act as a bonus.

people have lost their heads.. ranting in txt posts about their content "flopping" or feeling like they don't belong here.. &it's just like.. take a deep breath.. it's okay.. you'll survive. also idk what flopping is when it comes to simblr, because.. if i get anywhere between 10-100 notes from loyal followers that have engaged with me from day 1, can recognize my OCs &are genuinely paying attention to what's going on (because they care that much).. that's a hell of a lot more rewarding to me than amassing 500-1k notes because a popular simblr randomly decided to reblog me that day.

please learn to love your game, your blogs, your cc & yourself. because what's the point of notes if you're not even genuinely happy with your game in the first place? you'll continue to have unrealistic expectations &end up in that rabbithole of forcing yourself to do tzrs, spam liking &reblogging others just to get that in return &trust me it comes off super fake &people will notice that too.

Btw, if you ever see me post about a book/movie/game/ANYTHING, that is an open invitation to talk to me about it. Tell me your opinions, talk to me about your builds and characters for video games, scream at me about good or bad scenes in books, shows, or movies. (Or if there’s a book/movie/game/whatever that you think I’d like, TELL ME. Please give me recs.) There is nothing in the world I love more than talking about media of any kind (except for talking about my OCs but I know that’s a harder ask.)

Also, PLEASE tell me about your dnd characters. Make them in the sims and tag me in the post. Infodump and tag me. Infodump in my DMs. Ask for my Discord and message me there. I mean it. I am on my knees BEGGING for people to talk to me about not just things I love, but things YOU love.

Send me an ask (anon is ALWAYS on), a DM, ask for my Discord, anything. I swear on everything I hold dear that asks or DMs are never w bother. (/gen)

I’m always down to discuss plot, characters, mechanics, worldbuilding, any of it. TTRPGs/CRPGs and sci-fi/fantasy books + movies are the center of my wheelhouse, but honestly I just love having in-depth discussions about things. (Oh and I could (and have, much to my friends and family’s dismay) talk for HOURS about Black Sails.)

you are complaining about complaining too much while complaining about the fact that maybe people dont like you because you complain too much while complaining about being alone. just stop complaining and do something about it. talk to people. reach out. dont just wait for someone to come to you first.

i have tried reaching out to different people in the past year or so but it never works. i understand its my own fault for letting relationships decay because of my own insecurities and issues but that doesn't mean i can just will myself to think or believe different things about myself. it's a self fulfilling prophecy ; i think people don't like me so i don't reach out so people don't like me etc . i am sure you do not want to hear me list all the things i want to say in response so i will put them in the tags.

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk

Saw a post of someone saying pink is married to every color and it was a bunch of images of the color pink and how nicely it looks and compliments all the other colors and maybe that's why I have so many F/Os maybe I'm just the color pink

Thinking about this line in TLG

“My apprentice told you to leave, you should have listened-“

Thinking about how Med calls Khadgar his apprentice before even having the conversation with Khadgar.

He’s already decided then and there

(Then don’t get me started on him straight up fussing over Khadgar when he collapses. it makes me smile like a fool every time)

Hey so I’m a little obsessed with these mini dolls for Disney Princesses. To the point that if I’m at a dollar general or wherever else sells these guys, I like to rearrange them. I also convince myself to buy one if it’s the very last one left 😅.

Anyway today a little Tiana was the only one left and I’m thinking about modding* her, because I already have a Tiana. I looked on a website and found out that a Disney princess movie featuring an African girl named Sadé is currently in development hell - since 2018. Hopefully she’ll get made! But in the meantime, if you or anyone you know has access to official concept art I’d love to adapt this doll!

*I’m not that great at it but I enjoy doing it and representing the characters I think should be in the lineup/had as much impact on me as the Disney Princesses.

I cannot do any heavy mods (like switch out her body to give her pants, etc.) but I can paint a little.

But I’ve also been tinkering with possibly making a Tinkerbell, as she’s also a big Disney figure. I wouldn’t change this doll’s body colors, but I would touch up her dress and give her wings. Thoughts? For the record, I would get another doll to adapt if I ended up doing Tinkerbell and then Sadé info came out.

These are some of my better ones

Shuri, Namaari, Esmeralda, Halle-Ariel, Gabriella and her interpreter Olly from the Little Mermaid tv show and then Tiana!

Shuri is a Tiana head on a Kristoff body (he had pants). Her buns were placed in a line to imitate the actress’s hairdo in Wakanda Forever.

Namaari is a Jasmine Doll (the only other one with pants) with severely edited hair.

Esmeralda is a human Ariel doll. They do make a mermaid version but I decided to stick with her human doll only, because I otherwise would’ve wanted to make them all as mermaids. And that’s more money and time than I wanted to spend :’).

Halle Ariel is so pretty and she’s different from Jodi Ariel so I just had to make her. She’s a straight Moana doll, and she was one of my favorite to paint. I let the doll keep the flower in her hair because it’s pretty :).

Gabriella and Olly are from The Little Mermaid tv show and they have a very interesting backstory. Gabriella is just a mermaid but I decided to make her tersona (Terra persona as opposed to mersona lol)

The Tiana doll’s hair appears to be some sort of unofficial (imo) attempt at combining her little kid hairstyle (pigtails) and her adult bun, which irritates me. So I edited her to just have one bun.
