#I'm still thinking maybe heteronormativity indeed exists in the verse depending on how you were raised

#sims #ts3 #sims 3 #photoshoots #character verse #gaia bethancourt #she's one of the side characters to freya's story #her berry version was #guava blush #I have a few ideas for her #so she goes on a few dates with keegan right #I'm not really sure how to incorporate these things in my verse because almost all my characters are queer and it's quite normalised #but I'm getting a strong vibe that she's compheting with keegan and repressing her true attraction to women #because I've been in similar situations (trying to force yourself to like some nice guy but feeling icky) #I'm still thinking maybe heteronormativity indeed exists in the verse depending on how you were raised #I just find comphet stories very relatable as someone who's both wlw and demisexual #so I'd like to try and include one even if my verse is probably more queer friendly than reality #sure it could be spinned as keegan just not being the right person but... idek if it would have the same emotional value #I think one of the reasons why I made my verse like this was also me not wanting to have all the queer stories focused on homophobia #and just let my characters exist like normal people without anyone batting an eye #which I often see in other sims games and stories too and it's so validating #but I guess it kind of depends on my mood whether I want a perfect queer utopia or to actually bring up and deal with real life issues
