My biggest beef with the way Annabeth was written in the show is that I think Rick fell into his own trap. Like his whole thing with Annabeth is that just because someone doesn’t look smart doesn’t mean they aren’t. And while it’s about their literal looks for both the show and the book, book Annabeth also sometimes acted in ways that people wouldn’t stereotypically associate with “smart” because I think we’ve all be condition to think bbc sherlock no emotions genius is the only way to be smart. Book Annabeth acts super flustered around Luke because she's a kid and she has a crush on him, she's afraid of spiders, and wanted to see the arch just because she thought it was cool. In general book Annabeth is allowed to be sillier and have a wider range of emotions than show Annabeth without it detracting from the fact that Annabeth is smart. I find this whole "stoic genius" idea is often used to put down teenage girls for being dumb and superficial just because they show emotions and the only way to beat it is to be cold, calculating, and emotionless and most people just aren't like that.

SSFF Challenge 8 - Introducing Myself!
Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself since I’m still a bit of a newbie in the Simblr community, and @simblrsimplyforfun challenge 8 was the perfect excuse! So here we go =D
Tumblr media
This is me! ^^ 🦄💕 (in a quick selfie without filters xD I hope I haven't scared you 😂)
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 Ailén, but my pen name since the age 13 is Piper, nowadays most of my friends call me that name and I’m really more comfortable with it, so please just call me Pip or Piper! ^^ I’m 19 years old and I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina 🇦🇷
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, I’m very creative but sometimes I just run out of inspiration 😂 I’m also very affectionate! I love hugging people I appreciate and telling them I like them. Other people... I don’t know, I can’t speak for everyone 8′D 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 with ‘ahre’ a lot, which is an Argentinian expression to state you’re just joking), so I guess they think I have a good sense of humor as well, I love making people laugh 😄 I’ve also been called ‘cute’ or ‘adorable’ more than once and I’m proud of it! 😄💕
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 don’t 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: 💟 At the age of 8 I was forced to attend English lessons as an extracurricular activity, and I ended up loving it! I’m currently teaching this language to my bff’s aunt and I’m 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 I’m a feminist and always try to defend my fellow women c: (as long as it’s an unfair situation for them, ofc) ♀️💕
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 didn’t 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 (I’m still learning how to edit, it’s quite fun but also time-consuming ;; ).
I follow all the simblrs who follow me tbh ^^ but I love simatography blogs! Maybe one day I’ll learn how to do proper edits and poses, and then I’ll become a simatography simblr 😂
Main characters... I don’t really have, my favourite ones though are Anine and Kyung-soo. Anine was the result of a frustration night *shot* I didn’t 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 she’d have Nordic origins, and ended up loving her so much that I posted about her ^^ as for her personality, I didn’t 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 zauma’s CC, so I thought the best was giving her a gamer/otaku likes, and her personality in general is really based off mine, she’s 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, he’s kind of a frustrated idol lol, he’s 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 don’t see it as something productive, but luckily I’ve 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 didn’t 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 about “dark” 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 I’ve 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 I’m so glad I did! The people I met are lovely and I’m really happy to have them now ^^
Things I learnt are lots of... From meshing or modding, to social values. I mean, it’s always good to have basic knowledge of informatics (it helps a lot, especially where I live), and I’m 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 others’ mouth, I always thought they didn’t like me because of my looks or my behaviour, that they thought I was weird; now, I understand that they might be like me, they’re simply too shy to talk, and I won’t know what they they actually think about me if I never go and say ‘hi’; and now thanks to that ‘hi’ I met wonderful people, people who are creative and won’t judge me... That’s the most precious thing I learnt 😊
I don’t think I could help other simmers from a technician point of view, but I’m always here to talk and share my little knowledge, I love hearing other simmers’ ideas (one of my best friends irl isn’t a simmer, but loves to create OCs and stories, and I’m 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 it’s something as well! 😂
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 (who’s also a fairy) and they’re now in University, they’re 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 don’t take part in discord chats, I made a discord user a few days ago but tbh I don’t use it a lot ;; I’d love to be in a server tho, it’s just that I don’t talk much when I’m in a group ^_^’
I haven’t met any simmer irl, I’d love to, tho! It seems to be a little hard to find simmers where I live 😂
The simmers that influence me the most are marshmallowsims, gruesim, theseprettylittlepixels and lehma! I want to develop my own style though, they’re my biggest references and hope to inspire people as much as they do someday ^^
And I’ve never done RPs, but I’d love to do some! Actually, I’m working on an AU with a sim of nonsimsical ‘s, it’s 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! 🖐🏻💕 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 😊
PS Excuse my horrible English ;;

1. selfie-I’ll post one later! :)
2. what would you name your future kids?--For girls my favorites are Rosie, Lucy, Alice, Chloe, Cadence, Penelope, Olivia, Hazel, Opal, and Willow. For boys my favorites are Edward, Phillip, Oliver, Forrest, August, Emmerson, and Noah. :)
3. do you miss anyone? Yes. My great grandparents (they’re still alive, but just live far away), some friends I haven’t seen in a while, and my old elementary/middle school teacher.
4. what are you looking forward to? I’m looking forward to a mini weekend vacation I’m going on with my family next week. :)
5. is there anyone who can always make you smile? My mom, for sure. :)
6. is it hard for you to get over someone?  OMG, YES. I’ve never dated anybody, but I had a “break-up” with one of my best friends last year, and I still think about her pretty much every day. 
7. what was your life like last year?  I was in 8th grade. I was best friends with a girl named Ava. I was very passionate about violin (I still am, but am focused on some other things now). 
8. have you ever cried because you were so annoyed?  Yes! Lots of times.
9. who did you last see in person?  My mom. She just told me she was going to the store like three seconds ago. :)
10. are you good at hiding your feelings?  I like to think I am, but I’m really not. My mom says you can always tell by my face what I’m feeling. :)
11. are you listening to music right now?  Nope. :)
12. what is something you want right now?  I want to be able to write something good right now, but I just am having trouble getting started. 
13. how do you feel right now?  Pretty neutral. Not especially happy or depressed. Just kinda relaxed (well, as relaxed as I can get). :)
14. when was the last time someone of the opposite sex hugged you?  Does my dad count? If so, I think sometime yesterday. If my dad doesn’t count, I literally have no idea. 
15. personality description--I’m intelligent, ambitious, creative, passionate, thoughtful, open-minded, anxious, obsessive, and introverted. I try really hard to do well in school and usually get good grades. I play violin and love music. I love to read and write, but lately have been having trouble finding time to do them. I love my family and spending time with them is very important to me. I love hanging out with friends, but I can only socialize for so long before I need to go home. I’m definitely a bit of a homebody (my mom has to force me to leave the house and do something sometimes). I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and low-grade depression. I am, at the moment, trying to figure out whether I’m lesbian or bisexual (whatever the case, I know I’m attracted to girls, but am having a hard time figuring out if I’m at all interested in boys). I get SUPER obsessed with characters from books and movies and get SO passionate about my OTP’s, it can literally be scary. I accept people for who they are, and if you ever want to ask me anything or just talk, I’m open to it. :)
16. have you ever wanted to tell someone something but you didn’t?  YES. Lots of times.
17. opinion on insecurities.  I think insecurities are just a part of life. Everybody has them, just in different aspects of their lives. There are people who are SUPER smart, but think they’re ugly, and then there’s people who seem SO confident and outgoing and love their bodies, but secretly think they’re stupid. There are many variations of insecurities, and literally everybody has to deal with them, no matter how big or small they are.
18. do you miss how things were a year ago?  A little bit, but not really. I miss my old teacher and orchestra conductor, but overall, I think my life is better this year. I have more friends, I like school better, and I’m more in tune with who I am and what I need.  
19. have you ever been to New York?  NO. :(
20. what is your favourite song at the moment?  Answering what my favorite song is has always been hard for me, so I usually just say who my favorite artist or band is. At the moment, it’s probably Green Day, Linkin Park, or Evanescence. 
21. age and birthday?  I’m 15 years old, and my birthday is October 30, 2001. 
22. description of crush---Oh...here’s a fun one! :D  It’s a girl. She goes to my high school. She has long brown hair, green eyes, and nicely tanned skin. :)
23. fear(s)--  Failure (in school, in my relationships with my family and friends, and just in life in general), death (especially of somebody I love), elevators (I know...LOL), separation from my family (going to sleepaway camp is a nightmare for me...), and lots of other silly things I can’t even think of right now.
24. height--5′7″ 
25. role model--MY MOM, my big sister, Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus, the list goes on and on...:)
26. idol(s)--I know there is a difference between “role model” and “idol”, but I’m having a hard time differentiating them in the context of my life. 
27. things i hate--Bullying, prejudice, rude people (people who interrupt when you speak, especially), inequality, books and movies that take FOREVER to come out, books, movies, and shows that END (okay, I know they all do eventually but it HURTS, it really does). 
28. i’ll love you if…You respect me and others, you treat me and others with kindness, you have compassion for others and the world around you, you are polite, and you help others in need (and me when I need help).
29. favourite film(s)--Pitch Perfect 1&2 (and 3 SOON...), Stepbrothers, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Fried Green Tomatoes, Good Will Hunting, Titanic, Matilda, Frozen, Beauty & The Beast, Mulan, Brave, Lilo & Stitch, The Lion King, Up, Ramona & Beezus, Elf, okay...I should probably stop. :)
30. favourite tv show(s)--The Office, Parks & Recreation, The Middle, Portlandia, Seinfeld, Malcolm In The Middle, H2O: Just Add Water (literally my childhood), My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Suite Life of Zack & Cody and Suite Life on Deck, Good Luck Charlie, SpongeBob Squarepants, Adventure Time, okay...again, I must stop. :)
31. 3 random facts--About me or in general? I’m assuming about me. 1. I have brown hair.  2. I have brown eyes.  3. I have braces. 
32. are your friends mainly girls or guys?  Mainly girls, but I have had best friends who are boys. :)
33. something you want to learn--I want to learn how to play the piano and the guitar, and how to sing better (which I doubt will happen...). I also want to learn how to act better. :)
34. most embarrassing moment--One time in third grade I went to the bathroom and, not knowing that I had toilet paper trailing out of my pants behind me, I went back to class. Literally nobody told me until I noticed a few minutes later. Also, one time this year (in ninth grade), I farted in class during a test and some people looked at me weird. I’m not sure which is more embarrassing, so I just put both. :)
35. favourite subject--Since starting high school, I’ve learned to love SO many subjects better than I did before. My favorite subject used to be English, but my English teacher (more like professor, my mom says, since he is SO FREAKING INTENSE), kind of ruined it for me. Now I’d say my favorite subjects are math, German, history, and music.:)
36. 3 dreams you want to fulfill? 1. I want to be a professional violinist. 2. I want to publish a book. 3. I want to explore as much of the world as I can and help as many people around the world as I can. 
37. favourite actor/actress--Some of my favorite actors are Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Ferrell, Zac Efron, and Johnny Depp (don’t hate me, I know he abused his wife and that is HORRIBLE, but he is just so freaking talented. He’s one of my favorite actors, but definitely not one of my favorite people. Let’s just put it that way). :)  Some of my favorite actresses are Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Aubrey Plaza, and Kate Winslet.
38. favourite comedian(s)--Ellen DeGeneres, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey (literally one of the best duos ever), Will Ferrell, and Steve Carrel. :)
39. favourite sport(s)--Basketball, swimming, gymnastics, and dance. I’m terrible at sports, but these are the ones I’ve tried and at least slightly enjoyed. :)
40. favourite memory--I don’t know if I can name just one favorite memory. Some of my favorite memories are road trips with my family, visiting my great grandparents at their farm in Wisconsin, visiting my best friend who lives REALLY far away in Illinois (I live in California, just to give you guys perceptive about how FAR it really is), celebrating Christmas Eve and Day with my family, camping with my family and friends, reading with my little sister, early-morning coffee runs with my big sister, fun car trips with my mom, late-night chats with my grand,a, and really just any moment spent with my family and/or friends. :)
41. relationship status--Single, but really wanting to get out there (but realistically way too shy). 
42. favourite book(s)--Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus Series, Harry Potter Series, Ender’s Game, Practical Magic, A Year of Wonders, A Year Without Autumn, Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, The Secret Life of Bees, To Kill A Mockingbird, and the list goes on. :)
43. favourite song ever--”Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds
44. age you get mistaken for--I think I look about my age, but I am pretty tall, so maybe I’d get mistaken for 16 or 17 at the oldest. 
45. how you found out about your idol--I’ll just say my biggest idol is Anna Kendrick, and I found out about her through Pitch Perfect. :)
46. what my last text message says--My last text message is from my big sister, and it says “Sorry, I just got off work.” 
47. turn ons--Kindness, compassion, politeness, helpfulness, acceptance of others. :)
48. turn offs--Rudeness, unkindness, thoughtlessness, coldness, and prejudice.  
49. where i want to be right now--Wisconsin, Illinois, San Diego, or maybe just my big sister’s house would be good. 
50. favourite picture of your idol--Im a little bit confused about this one. Should I post a picture of Anna Kendrick or describe one? I’m just going to skip it...
51. starsign--My basic sun sign is Scorpio. For those of you who are more into astrology and know the terminology, I’m a Scorpio Sun, Aries Moon, Gemini Ascendant, and Libra Venus. :)
52. something i’m talented at--I’m good at playing the violin. :)
53. 5 things that make me happy--Music, family, good books, movies, and shows (though that’s technically three, I’m counting it as one), nature, and good food. :)
54. something thats worrying me at the moment--My grades, my anxiety and depression, my future (which I’m probably too young to be worrying about), my crush (who I am literally obsessed with), and just my general identity. 
55. tumblr friends--I don’t really have any Tumblr friends yet. :)
56. favourite food(s)--Pizza, chicken, mashed potatoes, watermelon, broccoli, curry, yogurt, oranges, the list goes on and on. :) 
57. favourite animal(s)--Lions, tigers, dolphins, panda bears, sloths, and dogs. :)
58. description of my best friend--I have a few best friends. One of my best friends is named Margaret. She is 14 years old and in 8th grade. We met and have been really close since kindergarten. She likes reading, acting, and playing Sims (which we love to play together). She loves cats. Her star sign is a Taurus. :)  Another one of my best friends is named Roan. She is 14 years old and in 9th grade. We met at a violin recital a couple years ago, but didn’t get close until we started at the same high school last fall. We have lots of the same classes together. She likes reading, writing, playing violin, and playing video games. Her star sign is a Leo. Another one of my best friends is named Ione. She is 15 years and in 10th grade. Our moms (my mom Molly and her mom Heather) are best friends and have been really close since they were kids, but they slowly lost contact when my mom moved as a teenager. When I was 8 years old, they reconnected through Facebook. On our trip to Wisconsin, we stopped by their house, and I got to meet Ione. We instantly clicked and have been best friends ever since. We spend a few days to a week (depending on our schedules) at their house every summer, and stay in contact through texts and letters during the school year. She loves reading, writing, playing violin and piano, basketball, and volleyball. Her star sign is a Libra. :)
59. why i joined tumblr--I joined Tumblr because I think it’s a cool place to express yourself, see posts related to your interests, and connect with people who have similar interests. I also think the concept and setup of Tumblr is a lot more creative and original than any other social media site. Also, since none of my family members or (sometimes very conservative) extended family members are on Tumblr, I can be free to share my very liberal views without getting pounded. I can also be free to share my lesbian/bisexual identity, as well as my passionate support of the LGTBQ community, without getting disowned by any homophobic extended family members. :)
60. ask me anything you want--I’m not sure what it means by this, but yes, I’m open to people asking me anything they want on here. Obviously nothing TOO personal, but I’m pretty open about most things, so don’t worry. :)
