Your monarch(s) is given two options, hand the throne over to another noble family or abolish the monarchy all together. Which do they choose?

Oh they abolish. At least right now, with Deirdre still alive. They’re too proud to just hand it over!

[CONNOR] I just don’t think you’re getting how bad it is for him to act this way.

[EVIE] *sigh* I just… I wish you hadn’t started a massive fight over me. Your brother is going through enough, you know?

[CONNOR] Well forgive me for standing up for you.

[EVIE] That’s not fair. I didn’t ask you to do all that.

[EVIE] I appreciate what you’ve done. I just wish you hadn’t gone about it in this way.

[CONNOR] Why? You wanted me to talk to him, so I talked to him. He started this with the way he talked to me.

[EVIE] His wife almost died, Connor. Cut him some slack.

[CONNOR] This is how it’s been my whole life, Evie. And— God, will you stop working for a second and look at me?

[EVIE] All I have left to say is that you should apologize to Ciaran. Now, I told you I need to finish this. I took a week off to spend with you, can you not give me a few hours?

[CONNOR] Fine, I’ll leave you alone. And I’ll pack your stuff, you should probably go home.

[EVIE] Connor…

[CONNOR] It’s no trouble, really.

[CIARAN] I want mom home, too, bud. But mama’s too sick to come home right now, ok?

[indistinct chatter]

[knock KNOCK KNOCK]

[CIARAN] Come in.

[GRACE] Your Majesty, we’ve drafted a statement about Her Majesty. It just needs his approval.

[CIARAN] Alright, what’s it say?

[GRACE] “Her Majesty Queen Catriona, and her unborn baby, are in stable condition thanks to the great work from attending healthcare professionals. The King wishes to express his gratitude to well-wishers, but asks for privacy at this time.”

[CIARAN] Don’t mention the baby. Take that out and it’s fine.

[GRACE] Respectfully, sir, the team and I think it’s wise to mention the baby. One massive candid thing to subdue the press, and they’ll leave you alone for a little while.

[CIARAN] I said take it out. Catriona will announce it on her own time, do you understand?

[GRACE] Yes, sir.

[CIARAN] And I want you doing whatever you can to prevent leaks, understood?

[CILLIAN] Daddy!

[CIARAN] I’ve missed you!

[DUNCAN] How is she?

[CIARAN] Stable, and the baby is getting there.

[DUNCAN] That’s good, Ciar. I’m glad.

[CONNOR] When are you going back to the hospital? I thought you had a more important, dying wife to worry about?

[CILLIAN] Dying?

[CIARAN] Get out. Out.

[DUNCAN] Ciaran—

[CONNOR] No, Duncan. I’ll go. Happily.

[DEIRDRE] Honey? How is she?

[CIARAN] I’m not sure, really. The doctors, they’re confusing.

[DEIRDRE] I know… Honey, why don’t you go shower and eat something? I’ll sit with her, ok? You need to take care of yourself.

[CIARAN] I can’t. I have to be here if she wakes up. I can’t leave.

[DEIRDRE] She won’t wake up today, Ciaran. And you need to look after yourself. Cillian wants to see you, he knows something’s wrong.

[CIARAN] I- I know. How is he?

[DEIRDRE] He’s ok, the nanny is with him, I think Duncan and Connor are with him. But he’s smart, he knows this isn’t normal, no matter what we tell him.

He wants to see you, though. And I know Cat would want you to be with him. Not smelling like that, of course, but still.

[CIARAN] I know, but what if—

[DEIRDRE] I’ll stay here, ok? I’ve got you on speed dial.

The Guide on Starting a Royal Story

I’m often asked about tips on starting a royal story and I see more and more popping up which is great! So, I thought I’d compile all my tips into another tutorial! More tutorials here.

Storytelling Starters

So, I’d figure I’d start with just starting a story and then dive more deep into the royal parts of it because at the end of the day, your royal story is simply a story. I’m no expert on storytelling but I’ll tell you what’s helped me tell my story for the last two years along with tips I’ve picked up from some great storytellers here on simblr!

Let’s break it up into the 2 major things your story needs - plot and characters.

Plot

Plot is the story in which you want to tell. The thing I love about storytellign on simblr is how your plot can evolve in many different ways. Many of us have no plans to stop telling our stories, so the storylines grow and change with our characters.

To get started with creating a plot, I have an outline that I create for each chapter of my story. I use Google docs and simply write out the scenes and color code them based on if I’ve taken screenshots, drafted posts, or published a post. You don’t have to do it that way but that is what works for me. Others use tools like Milanote, some do their outlines in a notebook. Find what works best to help you work out your plots.

If you need inspiration, there are so many amazing stories here on Simblr. You can find the Royal Directory here. But, you can really get inspired anywhere - tv shows, movies, even from real life. That’s the beauty of inspiration, it can come from anywhere.

Characters

It’s hard to say whether to start with the plot or the characters because they are both so essential to the story. The best thing you can do for your story is to understand your characters. From their personality, likes and dislikes, what makes them tick, what their background is. Stuff that makes a person who they are.

Those attributes that you give your character will work together with your plot. How your character reacts to certain situations based on who they are can even drive your plot. Which is why establishing them both is really important.

Again, inspiration can come from anywhere, simblr, media, or real-life. You can also Google character building questions to help you.

Now, let’s get Royal storytelling specifically! Since this is getting long and will only get longer. I put the rest under the cut!

[DOCTOR] Firstly, she’s doing well, Your Majesty. We’re out of the woods.

[CIARAN] Thank god.

[DOCTOR] Your Majesty, were you aware that Queen Catriona was pregnant?

[CIARAN] What?

[DOCTOR] While Her Majesty should recover, the baby is still unstable, sir. We’re doing everything we can, I’m confident in my team.

[DOCTOR] She should be out of surgery soon, sir, but the monitoring will be extensive and…

[DETECTIVE] We know you did it, Mike. What we’re looking for is why. And it’ll be a lot easier if you just tell me.

[MIKE] What if I don’t want to tell you anything?

[DETECTIVE] We’ll figure it out anyway. But if you cooperate, maybe the legal system will be kinder.

[DETECTIVE] Now, tell me what you meant when you yelled “por ea”. It’s Latin, yes?

[MIKE] Yes…

[DETECTIVE] It means “for her”, right? For who, Mike?

[MIKE] I did what needed to be done. She needed to be gone. You’ll see.

[DETECTIVE] For who, Mike?

[MIKE] Fiona Eaton.

What keeps Ciaran up at night?

i love this question !!

1. Trying to live up to his father. King Cillian was very very loved and respected and had a very established reputation. Ciaran is scared he’s going to fail his father.

2. This will be a plot point soon, but Catriona wasn’t the biggest fan of having children. Ciaran feels bad because he wanted children, and it’s also his duty to have multiple children. He thinks a lot about how different Cat’s life would be without him, and if she’d be happier.

3. Catriona snores a little when she lays on her back

The Ruby Jubilee Gala of HIM Queen Viviana,

Glammed out and dress to the nines, Royals from all continents gathered to celebrate Her Illustrious Majesty’s forty year reign.  Tonight was notable, if not for the Queen, but for the jewels dawned by the one percent. This was the first time us common folk caught a glimpse of HRH the Princess Eloise’s Investiture Tiara by @glitterberrysims​ , which features not one, but five, star pendents; the tiara is made entirely of cut steel; the Princess also wore Queen Honora’s Fringe Tiara by @batsfromwesteros​ as a necklace.  HRH Princess Guiomar of Uspana sparkled in the Bergstrasse Loop Tiara by @royaltysimblr​ ; which has not been spotted since it was owned by her mother, HRH Crown Princess Lorraine of Uspana, who was notably missing from the private event.
