This may be a hot take...
...but I don't believe Angela really did anything wrong ):
Like I fully understand Lilith's resentment, I don't get the Angela-hate
they were both just children and they lived in a situation where attention was a resource that could run out, and in a situation like that, a child is going to take all the attention they can get, even if it means taking it from their sibling
and that's on the parents for pitting their children against each other, like I'm struggling to understand why we are blaming Angela for that ;3;
Angela didn't choose to be favored by their parents, and as I see it, she wasn't the 'good' twin, she was the 'responsible' twin
Think about it, like Angela still had to learn so much in her childhood while Lilith didn't; what I'm hearing is due to the parents paying little to no attention to Lilith, it meant she had more freedom than Angela
Lilith got to dress how she wanted, date who she wanted, she got to buy expensive things for her room, she even snuck out and didn't get into trouble for it (note that Lilith has a memory of getting caught sneaking out, but not by her parents, but by Gordon King), while Angela has hardly any memories at all besides what she learned
I think people tend to forget that Lilith and Angela both grew up in the same house, with the same dysfunctional parents and they had to listen to the same fights,
just because Angela turned her cheek and looked the other way with a smile, while Lilith would sit down and feel sorry for herself, doesn't mean either of them were better than the other
these are just two separate ways of coping with the same situation
I will say, I do adore that in the sims 4 they move out and go to university together, just the two of them, and they are finally realizing that they have common ground, finally bonding and taking baby-steps towards healing their relation
I can confirm that you just bond in a different way with your sibling when your parents aren't around, and it took moving out for them to realize that ;0;

Angela pleasant headcanons because I love her💚
-Angela doesn't really hang out much with people, the only person she regularly speaks to is her childhood friend, meadow thayer.
-but even then, meadow wishes they were closer, because for as long as they've known each other, Angela never really opens up.
More under cut!
-angela always turns down any invitation to hang out from meadow's friends, because she needs to "study"
-so it leads to them thinking angela is a bit weird
-like i Said she never opens up, she never tells anyone about her problems, her hobbies, never tells anyone about herself
-angela might be a "popular" girl in school, but not in the way you'd think? She's known for having good grades, getting along with teachers and everyone always wants to take her notes she wrote down in class
-this is actually based off of my own friend from high school, but Angela does not like sharing her class notes to other people, because of how much time she spends organizing them, she's scared someone might ruin it lol.
-this girl is a PERFECTIONIST, everything she does must be tidy and perfect!
-this is a trait she picked up from her mother
-speaking of family, angela always saw lilith getting yelled at whenever her sister did a mistake or something "bad"
-she got scared when her parents yelled and didn't want to be treated the same way so as a child she thought "if I want mom and dad to treat me good, then I must be good myself"
-so she did everything to be seen as "good"
-she doesn't even realize it herself, but she is under extreme pressure because of this.
-she needs love, emotional support, affection
-but Mary sue is too busy working
-and Daniel is… Well he's daniel… I
I imagine he's also an overachiever and that also impacted angela
-now onto her relationship with lilith: I think that angela does not understand why lilith does not just act "good" to get proper treatment from their parents
-I think Lilith saw Angela getting "more love" (even though that love was pretty shallow) and decided to take it out on her. She probably kicked her or smth and angela just fought back and it created a rift between the two, which led us to their current relationship in the game
-I really love reconciling the two
-they still kinda swear at each other but like in an affectionate way lol
-lowkey enjoys it when lilith blasts her music in her room
-and lowkey gets disappointed when Mary sue yells at lilith to turn it down
-but she'll never admit it, she does not want to get looked down upon by her mom
-Angela is not really in tune with her own emotions?
-like someone asks her what is wrong while she's LITERALLY crying
-and she'd be like "what do you mean? Everything's fine"
-she is so, so lonely
-yet she doesn't even realize it
-and when she does start to realize this loneliness, she is confused, very sad and confused
-she does not know why she feels the way she does, it's like a big gap in her heart.
-same girl, same 😞
-she is very in tune however, with nature and the sea/ocean!
-she loves animals and plants, she likes them better than people
-probably has a cactus and other plants in her room :3
-I think her favorite animal would be deers :o
-she loves, and i mean LOVES researching anything related to the ocean, sea creatures etc…
-she has information stored in her brain just for it
-if someone asks her anything about it, you can be sure she'll go crazy and info dump for HOURS
-unfortunately she does not really have anyone to do that with other then meadow and maaaaybeeee
-dustin :3
-dustin is her other childhood friend!
-he always likes getting her into trouble lol
-she does enjoy it though hehehe and tries to rebel a bit
-immediately regrets it though (Trauma-I mean what???)
-and again she isn't very in tune with her emotions and probably only realizes she had a crush on him after she goes to university or something 😭
-dustin had to make all the moves but she was pretty dense at the time/or just not interested .
-everytime she sees dustin with his little brother she gets an ache in her heart (girl you live in a dysfunctional family pls accept that)
-she def gets along with beau!! She def babysits him sometimes, she loves pinching his cheeks
-she probably has freckles too hehehe
-unlike lilith who is very sporty, she sucks at sports!!!
-girl cannot run 2 minutes without getting tired!!! AND IT'S HONESTLY A MOOD
-I have a fanfic idea where angela goes to a boarding school in simcity and has mercutio as her seatmate
-and mercutio actually manages to somehow make her open up a bit
-they go to an arcade and also omfg angela is so bad at video games but GETS SO INVESTED
-mercutio is like "damm!!!"
-they legit slowly become besties (i actually ship them PLS DO NOT KILL MEEEEE)
-the first time they met, mercutio had music blasting off his headphones, so angela, who is his seatmate like i said, was like "hey I know *insert band here* is good, but could you turn it down a bit?"
-mercutio is legit suprised like "how tf do u know this band"
-angela just says she has a sister that likes the band (she actually likes the band too like i said earlier)
-since I do ship them, i think their first date would go like Denji and asa's from the anime/manga chainsaw man 😭
-basically they're at an aquarium and she just infodumps a WHOLE ESSAAY ON A CERTAIN TYPE OF JELLYFISH
-LIKE A LITERAL DISCTIONARY COMES OUT HER MOUTH.
-and mercutio, much like Denji, is like "what…"
-angela is like "wtf how is he not impressed by the fact i know so many things abt this jellyfish??"
-girl I love you so much omfg 😭
-I want to say she's honestly mid at cooking 💀💀
-like eventually lilith learns how to cook and is lowkey better then angela at it, angela is just a girl failure 😌
-angela just cooks to cook tbh she doesn't wanna starve yknow
-omg maybe mercutio cooks for angela (okay i'll stop 😓)
-I don't think she listens to much music but she gets more into it over the years
-probably loves bjork! And mitski or smth 😭
-she's the kind of girl to fake her confidence, take it all away and you get a really insecure girl, she deserves all the love in my heart!
-all in all I love her 💚
Pls let me know if you'd like to see more headcanons from me!!
