AS YOU ONCE WERE
A short play by Jonny Bolduc
Characters:
VOICE: You, in a dream.
YOU. You, as you are.
CHILD: You, are you once were. 
---------------------------------------
VOICE:
The door flies open.
YOU:
Damn. This is it. The house I grew up in. The blue armchair in the living room, the hardwood floor, the desk by the window. I remember every divot in the carpet. Can I…go into my room?
VOICE O.S:
It’s your dream. You can do whatever you want. But there’s something you should know. The junk drawer, the one that squeaked really loud every time it opened and annoyed the shit out of dad is stuffed full of handwritten apology notes.
YOU:
Apology notes? To who?
VOICE: 
I’ll tell you in a moment. But get this. The hamster you buried in the backyard in 2005  is scurrying across  the kitchen countertops. Fresh sheets,  still hot from the dryer are parachuted  on the bed. Sims 2 is loaded up on the  white brick computer.
YOU:
Holy shit. Can..can I stay here?
VOICE:
No. 
YOU:
Oh. 
VOICE: 
Tell me something.
How are your days? How have you been living?
YOU:
I haven’t. I haven’t really been living. I have given myself to the flow of
the days that do not  understand  mercy or  what it means  to cry “uncle”. I have burned this house in my mind. I have razed this memory to the ground. I have tried to end my life twice.
VOICE. O.S:
Huh. Interesting. You know, I think someone here might be able to help you. 
Come on in.
A CHILD enters, clad in a baseball cap. 
CHILD:
Hi.
YOU:
Hi. Are you…?
CHILD: 
You?  Yeah, I am. 
YOU:
Me. As a..kid?
CHILD:
As a ten year old. 
YOU:
Woah. 
CHILD:
Yeah!
YOU:
So. I was, uh, wondering something. 
CHILD:
Whatsup? 
YOU:
Can I stay here?
CHILD:
I don’t think so. Why? Is the future not good? I mean, are we not happy?
YOU:
No. We’re…not.
CHILD:
Why not? What’s wrong? Are we not a famous writer? 
YOU:
No. And look, it’s just…time hasn’t been kind to us. Time has taken and taken and taken and we’ve been battered by the unrelenting force of the days. The terror of the nights. 
It’s like every day, another heavy stone is dropped onto my chest. I just…I can’t take it anymore. 
I gave up. 
On life.
CHILD:
You gave up on us? What? How could you? 
Why?  Is there nothing else to learn? No books to read? No time to go look into the water of a pond and see the water teeming with tadpoles and triops and waterbeds and life? No good video games? No time to give  mom a hug? 
What could be so bad that you would want to do that? I mean, things can be dark and scary and bad, right now.  The  dark corner of the  basement where  I saw a ghost.  The terrible roar of  the furnace echoing in the dark. When I get real trapped in my thoughts and my chest gets tight and I get sweaty and panic. When I get sad for no reason and want to get lost in the woods and never come back to school. But I keep going. 
You’re telling me…we aren’t worth it?  
YOU:
I’m so sorry. 
I’ve tried to get better. To get help. But every fucking day—
CHILD:
That’s a bad word. 
YOU:
I’m sorry. Every day is full of stress and terror and failing. I just…I can’t do it. I can’t do it. I can’t get better. I’ve tried so many times and I keep falling back down into this pit of black. 
CHILD:
Look. It's okay. Want to play Animal Crossing? That always makes me feel better when I'm sad. Or we could look for frogs at the grassy edge of the retention pond. 
YOU:
I would love to. But do we have time? 
CHILD:
Of course we have time.  Obviously, you can’t stay here forever. But you can find someone like me. A kid who needs what we needed when we were younger. And if you help, if you make things better…some of the sadness will go away.
 I can’t stay here forever, either. I’m gone. I’m a part of you, now. But we can do this. We can find the light again. We can feel safe. 
We can do it together.
YOU:
I’m so sorry.
CHILD:
It’s ok. 
Want to play Super Smash Brothers?
YOU:
Absolutely. 
I’m going to beat you. 
CHILD:
No way!
Grabs cap off of CHILD’s head. CHILD reaches for it, and they run off, laughing.

I'm so glad I got tagged! I really wanted to do an about me post but I was hoping someone would tag me! Thank you so much @zoeoe-sims I really appreciate it!
Are you named after anyone?
No, I don't think so but my Mom told me I was almost named Abigale! I'm glad she named me Isabelle. I feel like that name fits me more than Abigale/Abbey does.
When was the last time you cried?
I cry all the time. I have bipolar disorder and I just had a really bad manic episode last week. Last Saturday I was practically un-consolable for like no reason.
Do you have kids?
No! And I really don't want any! I have a list of reasons why I can't have/don't want kids.
Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Hmmm, not really?
What sports do you play/have you played? 
I tried playing tennis in middle school but I was completely terrible at it. I will never again do any kind of group sport lol.
What’s the first thing you notice about other people?
I pick up on how people treat others pretty quick. I can notice right away if you're a kind person. I do not tolerate any kind of bullying or hate talk. I will always speak out if I hear people being mean.
Scary movies or happy endings?
Happy endings all the way! I'm such a chicken I swear. I think the scariest movie I've ever been able to sit through was Coraline. It's okay you can laugh at me I know it's pretty pathetic lol.
Any special talents? 
I'm a very creative person. I like to paint/draw in my free time when I'm not playing the sims! You should look up my insta if you'd like to see my art! Just look up Isabelleskapikart.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can also make Yoshi noises like owowowo and wahhh! lol
Where were you born?
Columbus, Ohio!
What are your hobbies?

Do you have any pets?
Omg yes I have so many. I have a dog (Prince) a cat (Pippin), several aquariums and a paludarium with vampire crabs. In the fish tanks I have a betta fish named Snowball, many cherry and amano shrimps/snails, some aquatic frogs, a dwarf crayfish, and a few more fish. My boyfriend and I love animals. It's like a zoo here in my apartment. We just recently made a tank for a jumping spider too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
How tall are you?
too short!
Fave subject in school?
Hmmm I like art class but I didn't really like my high school art teacher. He wasn't very nice and I feel like we had different ideas of the style of art that we like. It was actually the first class I failed in high school lol. School was pretty hard for me though. I was really overwhelmed with all the coursework I had to do, so a lot of times my art projects would get put on the back burner.
Dream job?
Being a full time professional artist! I know I keep talking about my art but it's a huge passion of mine.
Eye color? 
I have hazel eyes. My Mom has green eyes and my Dad has blue eyes so I got a mix of the two.

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥
Hello, beebee! Gathering more facts for your Pierson database, eh? I love it LOL. I was hoping I'd get this again so I could dive deeper into Anissa, so thanks!
Tumblr media
Dr. Anissa J. Thurston
Her middle name is Janeene. She's named after her grandmother, Jeannine, but her mom wanted to give it modern spelling. There were a small group of people who used to call Anissa AJ.
If you haven't noticed, her favorite color is yellow. She wears it a lot and has pops of it all over her house.
Anissa loves being outside and finds beauty in nature. Growing up, she spent a lot of time on the fire escape, looking up at the few stars she could see in the city lights. It was her thinking place.
She LOVES music. All kinds, though she struggles to understand how metal can be classified as "music." EVERY time I load up her house, she's outside dancing on the patio lol.
Anissa is strong, opinionated, and not afraid to walk in her truth. But she wasn’t always so bold. She grew up in a rough neighborhood in the Spice District--the part they don’t show on the map lol. When she was little, she wasn’t so tough and didn’t know how to handle bullies. It was typical dumb kids making fun of what they didn’t understand and considered different. They teased her about her big eyes and nose and talked about her mom. Like many young black girls, she had curves at a young age. They called her “monster booty.” She cried a lot which made people come for her even harder. Ma, her grandmother, taught her how to be confident and stand up for herself. She taught her that bullies don’t really mean what they say and are just insecure and put others down to make themselves feel better. Sometimes, when her mother came around, she taught her how to fight but Anissa didn’t want to hurt anyone. Over time, she matured and learned to love herself and the package she came in. By the time she got to high school, she discovered her super power: her mouth. She stood up for herself and fast talked her way out of potential conflicts. She talked a good game and made people believe she was a lot tougher than she really was. After a while, people didn’t mess with her anymore.
BONUS!!
Anissa wants to get married and have a big family. She began dating very early in search of her high school sweetheart. Being an only child, she’s always wanted a few kids. Ma and Pop had a strong relationship and modeled what true love was, and she wanted that for herself. But she didn’t really know to go about finding said relationship and kissed a lot of frogs until one day she and Jorden just happened to be at the same place at the same time.
She loves nice things and what money can do. Anissa didn’t have much growing up and always wanted better for herself. That’s why she did everything possible to get scholarships to go to Britechester University. Living with Melany opened her eyes to so many things. It was a dream she never wanted to wake up from, but at the same time she got used to it very quickly. That experience set the bar for how she wanted her life to be in the future, and now that she is a surgeon, she will have no problems making all her dreams come true.

Knightstone Household: Chapter 6, Part 4
With Silas finally being a toddler, I can go back to joining Suzanna at work for fun and shenanigans.
Tumblr media
Whoops. Looks like Suzanna was trying to sleep in, but early riser Silas does not think that's a good idea. I thought he might wake her up by babbling to her but no, looks like he is going to cry her awake instead.
Suzanna: Starshine are you okay? come have a hug
Silas: Mummy
Tumblr media
Since Adam was up he ushers Silas to have breakfast so Suzanna can get ready for work.
Silas: Pop pop sing
Adam: I don't sing, I have no singing skill
Silas: I sing
Adam: Can you eat first dude
Silas: la la ba la la fo de do de do
Adam: Few more handfuls son, come on
Tumblr media
Adam is writing his morning column when he hits level 7 writing skill. He is doing an excellent job at work so now that he meets the requirements, will today be a promotion day for him? Silas spends some time playing on the couch then we follow Suzanna to the lab.
Tumblr media
Suzanna has random tasks today. After viewing a piece of art she has to do some invention brainstorming and whip up a few serums. Then she needs to mind control workers to change outfits (we choose athletic wear today) and spends most of the afternoon on the microscope.
Tumblr media
When Suzanna arrives home it appears Silas has a full hunger bar. This makes it only too easy for him to sing to his parents as they eat.
Adam: Great news, I am now a Chief Critic
Suzanna: Congrats. What does that mean?
Adam: More respect and a higher salary for starters
Tumblr media
Something in the lounge/dining/kitchen area is annoying Adams squeamish side but do you think I can find what it is? No.
(Future me here again, pretty sure it's the frogs that are making him squeamish, but we are displaying our collections Adam so deal with it)
So I send him off for a run while Suzanna offers to teach some shapes to Silas. In this moment he levels up socially and can now talk!
Tumblr media
If only sims could sit down to teach blocks
Suzanna: That is a cube
Silas: The block is a queue be
Suzanna: Each side of the cube is a square
Silas: A square is a side of the queue be
Suzanna: You got it starshine!
Silas: A queue be has squares
Tumblr media
The next morning Silas has some play time in the backyard. Adam has successfully prevented abductions for the day so does some painting.
Silas: Chugga chugga vroom vroom
Adam: Don't run me over son
Silas: Beep beep *pushes horn*
Tumblr media
Guess who forgot to fix the plants? Still me. At least Suzanna can finish pretty quickly and get some time in with Silas before work.
Silas: Mummy, give hug
Suzanna: What a wonderful hugger you are
Silas: You the hugger
Suzanna: mwah mwah mwah
Silas: *giggles* mummy funny
Tumblr media
Suzanna: Larain? Why are you here?
Larain: They said it was an open day so we thought it would be fun to visit
Suzanna: Just make sure you keep your disguises on, my co workers haven't seen actual aliens before
Larain: But they see you everyday Suzanna: Not looking purple
Tumblr media
Larain: Don't worry, we're blending in experts
Suzanna: If you say so. Hey, since you're here, would you mind testing my serum
Larain: No problem, us aliens must stick together
Suzanna: Shh, here comes Faye, total non believer
Larain: I'll be cool. But maybe I'll be cool over there
Tumblr media
Faye: Damn tourist days, I'd rather aliens
Suzanna: Really?
Faye: I'm kidding, aliens don't exist
Suzanna: You sure?
Faye: Maybe there could be like space gnomes though
Suzanna: Space gnomes?
Faye: Just think about it, logic tracks, small green men
Tumblr media
Suzanna takes some time to study the stars, there's plenty of prints she has yet to unlock. When she heads back downstairs there's just 1 tourist left
Suzanna: Sorry, I forgot your name
M-something: It's okay, I forget my human name all the time
Suzanna: Tell me about it
Tumblr media
Suzanna: Were you looked after today
Silas: Pop pop fun, we play
Suzanna: That's great. Can you guess what mummy did today
Silas: Save world
Suzanna: Almost. I talked to some other aliens
Silas: Other aliens?
Suzanna: There's more than just you me and pops here
Tumblr media
In the morning Silas has plenty of time playing before he is caught for breakfast
Adam: Slide down son
Silas: Pops, other aliens, how many?
Adam: I don't know
Silas: A zillion?
Adam: More like a dozen
Silas: Dozen?
Adam: Some handfuls here
Silas: Hands full of breakfast?
Tumblr media
Suzanna spends her last day of work this week doing the regular tasks. Mix up some serums (with varying results), analyse some fruit, and of course brainstorm for a bit on the invention constructor. Can't forget to mind control the workforce either.
Tumblr media
Suzanna manages to get three coworkers into their party outfits. We just ignore the moral implications of mind control I guess?
Faye: Man my party outfit is so comfy
Nalani: I know what you mean
Faye: I just got this urge to change
Nalani: Why shouldn't we have causal Friday?
Tumblr media
Suzanna decides to not use her coworkers as test subjects today. She has unlocked a serum called Fixer's Luck that may improve her handiness skill so for accurate results we'll have to drink it ourselves. Bottoms up! Results in three, two one...
Tumblr media
Uh oh, science fail. Suzanna now has a sad moodlet titled "Can't fix my heart. My achy breaky heart. This is not the time to be romantic." Why do I find this so funny? Clearly Suzanna will have to step up her serum testing game to find more written gems.
Tumblr media
Sad Suzanna decides since she has finished her mandated tasks, she'll spend the afternoon outside the lab. All our digging and we only have 1 new collectable. She checks the alien crater and finds a Blue Slug which she already has, so sends the little guy back to Sixam. If only creatures of her size could be sent back as easily.
Tumblr media
Back home and the sad moodlet is still there
Silas: Why you sad mummy?
Suzanna: I had some bad serum
Silas: I'll sing after I finish sand mich
Suzanna: Thank you starshine, that'll help
Silas: I great at help, pops says I charming
Suzanna: You are a little charmer
Tumblr media
Silas: You listen mummy
Suzanna: I'm listening
Silas: La la lu la, ru rah ru rah, stars are fun fun, alien fun fun, I a star, la la lu la, ru rah ru rah
Suzanna: Did you make that up all by yourself?
Silas: Yes! I sing star
Suzanna: You are so imaginative starshine
Tumblr media
Adam: Did I hear the sound of a superstar
Silas: Pops I sing. Make mummy happy
Adam: Are you okay starlight
Suzanna: I will be, just had a bad serum
Adam: What happened to getting the workforce to test them
Suzanna: I can't give it to them every time, the testing won't register
Tumblr media
Adam: Great job making mummy happy my dude. It's always nice to cheer up a sad girl
Suzanna: Or a sad boy
Adam: Right. Boys can get sad to
Silas: I sad after potty accident
Adam: Exactly, and that's okay to be sad about
Suzanna: He needs sleep, can you read a story?
Tumblr media
We have arrived at the end of the Knightstone rotation. Silas is now level 2 at potty hooray for being able to try by himself! No pregnancy yet for these two, much to Adam's relief and Suzanna's disappointment, maybe next time we check in with the aliens...
Tumblr media

My brain just reminded me that El Chip cannonly exists in the Mega pizzaplex so headcannon time baby!!!
The main components of the 'new' El Chip animatronic were actually salvaged from the burnt down fnaf sim pizzeria so he looks practically the same as his original self but with a fancy glamrock paint coating
Because of the fact many of his parts having actually belonged to the original El Chip animatronic Glamrock El Chip has all of his original's memories
Because of this he has crippling depression and to the rest of the pizzaplex and to some kids he is known as the depressed guy who runs the Mexican restaurant.
Before the fnaf six location burnt down El Chip was actually good friends with Lefty and the Mediocre Melodies
El Chip saw Lefty as somewhat as a mother figure because of how motherly they were to everyone in the pizzeria expect for Scraptrap even though they were Charlie 'the only thing stopping me from killing you is this sick beat' Emily(stolen joke ik) and was very violent after hours.
El Chip would often over look many of the animatronics more violent sides like Lefty and Monty.
For some reason Monty reminds El Chip a lot of Happy Frog even though they share no similarities other then colour scheme.
El Chip isn't close to any of the other animatronics in the pizzaplex because he's scared that he'll loose them as suddenly as he lost all of his old friends
Only after a month of Monty being introduced to the pizzaplex he found out that El Chip existed because he accidentally wondered into his area and El Chip mistook him for Happy Frog.
Monty would often try and seek out merchandize of the Mediocre Melodies because he knows how much El Chip misses them.
When he's not mopping in his restaurant he's in west arcade(I think it was) chilling with DJ Music Man since he also misses the Music Man from his old pizzeria.
The tiny Music Man in the vents is fnaf six's Music Man and El Chip in aware of him and the two animatronics spend alot of time together.
One day El Chip managed to catch a glimpse of Vanny and he got a feeling that he only ever felt when he was around Scraptrap and it wasn't a good one.
After seeing Vanny he freaked out being sent into a panic attack about the destruction of the fnaf six location and didn't leave his area for a week.
That was why we don't see him in the game because he was busy hiding from Vanny.
That's all for now(goddamn did I put so much thought into a character I don't even think about that often).

The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses Episode 1 Review: Dizzying Animation
I can’t believe an anime has made me dizzy. I never knew animation can make me feel dizzy. I can see why GoHands has a rather infamous reputation in the anime community. I liked K and thought it was okay, but what is this? WHAT IS THIS?
Tumblr media
I’ve seen people describe the anime as ugly but beautiful and I agree with them. It’s super ugly, but it’s super beautiful simultaneously. Like the first five minutes of this anime has jarring CG that makes it look like it came out of the Sims or other 3D model generator. What is with this anime’s obsession with lower angle camera shots? I kind of find it uncomfortable given how many creeps there are nowadays who do try to take angled shots like this for non-consensual porn; it doesn’t matter if the target is a boy or a girl, it’s still unsettling. I’m trying not to be a moral police, but when you get five minutes of people walking and then the camera pans to low angle shots to show them walking, it does seem rather weird.
The anime’s premise is pretty simple. Kaede Komura has a crush on Ai Mie. Mie wears glasses and a bit of a space cadet. She forgot her glasses one day and has to rely on the Komura to look at his textbook while class is in session. This entire first episode spends so much time on Mie unknowingly making Komura flustered. That’s it. That’s the plot.
Komura is the typical boy in love. I do like how nice he is. The way he described being in love was animated beautifully. It feels like scattering cherry blossom petals followed by being in the skies with birds. I think it’s a nice way to describe it and does definitely show that he’s just a boy in love. He was sweet with the way he tried to protect Mie in dodgeball and tried to get the frog off of her shoes in the cubby. That’s all I can say about him.
Mie is a space cadet. She says weird things that make her flighty and such. One day, she forgets her glasses and still goes to school. I can relate to some of her whims when it comes to glasses and vision issues in general. I never forget my glasses, though. My eyesight was pretty bad that I always need it; I’d be a squinting mess if I didn’t have them. I’m surprised she still went to school without her glasses. I’d be prioritizing finding them because I need them to see. I relate to her looking all angry while squinting. When I wore glasses, the only instance I’d take my glasses off in public would be when I get a haircut. I’d be looking super angry while getting haircuts and it made me worry to the point that I rarely go to the hair salon because I don’t want people around me thinking I’m angry all the time. Fortunately, this worry has gone since I got Lasik. Mie’s statement about how contacts feel lumpy is something I totally relate to. I only wore contacts once, when I went to prom with my friends. Contacts were very uncomfortable for me, from putting them on to taking them off.
Regarding Mie, I do feel like she’s a bit over animated at times—her hair is super over animated. Like, it doesn’t need to dance around all the time. Hair doesn’t do that in real life. Her eyes are really pretty, though. Overall, I feel the same way about Mie as I do with Komura as they seem like nice kids. I just hope nothing weird happens in this story and that the animation becomes less dizzying in the future.
I think this will just be something to watch just to kill time in the summer. What are your thoughts on this anime’s first episode?

Got tagged by both @hellodahliah and @quigsilver for this so now doing it
1. Are you named after anyone?

Depends how you see it because sciences tells me it’s impossible for my kind of human, but I’ve done everything science says is impossible... so yeah.

AU Thursday: A Smattering of Random Valicer Headcanons
Mostly relating to the standard Modern AU, of course, but the more general ones could apply to any iteration:
-->You know how I have January 8th as “Smiler’s Creation Date” on the Valice( r) Calendar? Well, in thinking of what I wanted to do for it in the shower a couple of days ago, I referred to it as “Smiler’s birthday,” corrected myself with “no, wait, Smiler’s birthdate is the opening date of the coaster, May 31st” --
And then remembered “my human Smiler is ADOPTED -- maybe that’s their adoption day?”
So yeah -- Smiler’s actual birthday is 5/31, but the Altons have another little celebration on 1/8 because that’s when the paperwork all became official and Smiler was fully and legally their kid. Smiler was actually sad when they first learned that other kids just get the ONE birthday.
-->Smiler has a real talent for mixing drinks, both alcoholic and non -- they just seem to have a knack for eyeballing measurements and knowing how much stirring is enough. Any party they throw, they play bartender and knock their guests’ socks off.
-->Related to the above, Smiler’s job while attending college is as a barista in a coffee shop, where they develop a reputation for somehow getting even the most complicated order perfect. They like it when people’s faces light up after having one of their drinks! (Though that does make the “Karens” stand out even more, sadly. . .like this one couple who came in, the wife with a really complicated order that she kept criticizing them on as they tried to make it, and the husband with a simpler order that he refused to leave a tip on, saying it was unnecessary. . .guess how Smiler first met Victor’s parents.)
-->In keeping with the tech theme of the actual coaster, I’ve decided that Smiler, like Victor, enjoys building little robots from kits! They generally do more complicated projects than Victor does, though (hell, maybe they’ve done a mini-toy-like take on the Marmalizer, jokingly calling it their “brainwashing bot”), and they’re better at learning code and programming them. They’re also decent with HTML, as evidenced by the fact that, you know, they have a website with videos and suchlike. :p
-->Victor, for his part, gets into repairing and modifying things -- he finds he enjoys learning how things work and how to fix them, or make them work better, or even just look cooler. And he becomes a “right to repair” advocate after he discovers just how fiddly fixing electronics in this day and age can be, and how expensive it is for most people to replace them.
-->Constantly sending them to practice yoga in Sims 4 when I wasn’t sure what else to do with them has cemented in my head that Smiler just does yoga in general! In that same “crop top and short shorts” outfit that they so often wear as a Sim. Victor finds it very distracting. XD
-->Also, as mentioned in the tags of another post, I’ve recently realized that Smiler’s favorite animal is frogs! Probably as a result of all the breeding and collecting I had them do in Sims 4. They just think they’re neat. :) They also like dragonflies too.
-->Some new food headcanons for the trio -- all of their favorite fruits are also involved in their favorite desserts! Victor likes apples, and absolutely loves a good apple pie; Alice favors strawberries, and really enjoys a strawberry cake; and Smiler likes bananas, and will devour a banana split (they also like bananas foster). I think “chocolate cake” would rank as a second-favorite dessert for all of them though -- and I can see them working their way together through one of those big old “bucket” sundaes you can get at Ben & Jerry’s. (Though that would probably best be handled with the help of Victoria and Emily, and/or Oblivion, Th13teen, Rita, and Galactica. . .probably be a good date idea for the Running Headlong Into The Bullshit mega-polycule too XD)
-->As hinted at in the Christmas headcanons post, I’m tempted to have Alice pick up her father’s love of photography to capture special moments. It seems a fun way to carry on the family legacy! Though, yeah, this is something a modern Alice would be more keen on than a Victorian Alice for sure -- less dangerous chemical bullshit going on!
-->This one is a headcanon-in-progress -- part of me feels like Smiler should have or get a tattoo, but I’m not sure where or what. Something fun and colorful, sure, but beyond that. . .I’ve experimented with adding a tattoo in Sims 4′s CAS to my Smiler Always, but nothing really looked right. (Possibly because all of them are tied to such specific parts of the body -- I’d really like it if you could move certain tattoos to different locations!) Hmmm. We’ll see if this one goes anywhere as a result!

I heard it's "send Miranda asks because being sick sucks" time!! :))
Because I miss The Gang, and am a curious gal, I'm gonna ask some questions!
How did you choose the names of the main characters? Do any of them have any special meanings to you or to the story?
What is one thing that Maggie would never be able to forgive someone doing, even if she loved them? (be that person Olette or Luca)
What is Luca's greatest fear? (also, does he have any "normal" fears, like the dark or spiders or whatever.)
For the main 4 + Antoin: Cats or Dogs? (or neither, or both)
For Olette: what would she tell her past self?
For Antoin: what is his gretest desire, even if it's one he'd never tell anyone about? Is there a line he wouldn't cross to get it?
For Sheri: Does she ever see herself having a family? Also, does she believe in soulmates/true love?
For Luca: what is his biggest regret?
Maggie: Does she trust people easily? How would she react to her trust being broken?
And for the main 4 + Antoin again: What is their fatal flaw? (Bonus: are they aware of it?) (list of potential fatal flaws)
That is all!! I hope you feel better soon and enjoy your bonus sims time!! <33
Tumblr media
you're absolutely right, it IS that time!!!!!!!!!!!! here i go *cracks knuckles*
i think i looked through name lists to find magdalena's, maybe also olette??? i thought they were magical and different ✨ sheridan and antoin also came from a name list!! luca just popped to the top of my head and i said "hmm yes perfect" lol. they don't have any special meanings to me, but i read a book with a character named luca and they're completely different so idk pffft
:O good question!!!! hm okay let's think deep. this one is gonna sound kinda obvious but it would have to be hurting her family. so for olette, this one is hard as she is the only family maggie has left. this means magdalena will pretty much forgive everything olette does, which is SO her. now, luca could totally do this one. if he hurt olette in ANY way... out he goes.
greatest fear would have to be ending up like his father. silly fears would be of frogs and bugs ajsdhaxnahancadsf
maggie: dogs / olette: both / sheridan: cats / luca: both / antoin: neither (are we even surprised lol)
(^: she would say "Olette, darling. Chin up. You will get to travel to many wondrous places, just like you wanted! It may not seem like it now, but things will fall into place. You will even fall in love. Just... spend more time with your mother and father, alright?"
:O another good question!! his greatest desire.....hm.... it would probably be to see his daughter grow up to be the greatest ruler eden AND volais have ever known. as far as lines he wouldn't cross to get it... anything that would disappoint his wife (considering that going to war with volais does not disappoint her, it would have to be quite drastic). still, it sounds rather unlike him as far you know, hm?
she didn't see herself having a family for the longest time. losing her own at a young age really put her off of the idea, since she didn't want to lose another. but lately, something has sparked an interest (^: she believes in soulmates, simply because that was an idea her parents taught her. almost spiritual. she didn't think she'd meet her person so soon, but...
brooo talk about REGRETS!!! luca has many. his biggest one is probably not trying to prove himself worthy of being a ruler growing up. his father was so quick to dismiss the idea when he was a kid that luca wasn't even an option when his dad died and passed on the title. he thinks that if maybe he had proven himself, he could have taken the throne and eased the tensions with volais a lot sooner. created a better alliance. or even convinced his father not to go to war in the first place.
oh heck no!!! it takes a lot for maggie to trust someone. i think i mentioned this in a previous ask, but it takes a lot and that's why it was a surprise that she trusted luca so fast. we'll find out why it was so easy eventually (^; refer to chapter 6 for if her trust is broken lol. basically she'll give you the silent treatment until she confronts you about it, which you should be scared about.
i'm gonna use that list lol
maggie: pushes herself too hard - aware of it, which makes it even worse that she refuses to stop
olette: jealousy (both relationship-wise and otherwise) - not really aware that it's a bad thing
sheridan: blunt - not aware of it, just in her nature
luca: people-pleasing - aware of it... hates it, and is trying to fix it (aka going against his brother lol)
antoin: greed - unaware that it's inherently bad! he just wants the world
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS!!! I HOPE THIS QUENCHED YOUR THIRST FOR REGAL STUFF!!! cause idk when it's gonna be back 🤧

Trivender au headcanon masterlist
Trina Mora: first of all her last name comes from a sims 4 falsettos game file i hsve where i just tried to randomize her a last name and this is what i got. She's bisexual and has depression i don't think anyone ever doubted that. Also a lot more chaotic in this au than canon? That's just the effect Lavender has on her ig.
Lavender Baker: MY LOVE!! I already explained her name's origin in the pinned post. Like my url implies she's trans and she's also bisexual. Girlboss. Polyamorous but thankfully no longer a cheater we don't talk about that storyline in the original. It didn't happen. How did she get pregnant if she's trans you may ask? I don't fucking know how did Cinderella talk to a tree by that logic. There's no logic in the itw universe <3
Baker Baker: he's a baker if you couldn't guess. Transmasc bisexual wet cat of a man. Malewife. Left handed. Severely traumatized. Daddy issues. Also both him and his wife are jewish, naturally.
Bread Baker: Baker and Lavender's child. His name is Bread. I don't have much to say about him.
Jack: gay gay homosexual gay. Autism. Zero braincells whatsoever.
Little red riding hood: non binary icon 😌. because i said so. Also lesbian. You can't tell me what to do. Also autism but a different genre of autism than Jack.
Cinderella: also a lesbian with the worst case of comphet I've ever seen.
Milky white: bigender icon.
Marvin Gardens: just my regular headcanons for any incarnation of him. ADHD, bpd, being a weatherman. Controversally i did go with the Gardens last name. I'm sorry.
Whizzer Brown: autism, and demiromanticism. Also photographer Whizzer since everyone seems to love this headcanon. And he's from Omaha Nebraska just for the fun of it. He and Marvin have two cats btw he bought both of them which Marvin initially didn't approve of but accepted later on. They're named Chess and Racquet because I'm uncreative.
Mendel fucking Weisenbachfeld: BISEXUAL!! Bi Mendel real!! He canonically didn't earn his diploma in this one 0/10 worst psychiatrist ever
Mr Bungee: not actually homophobic, he himself is gay, but he is a capitalist. Cis white rich gay man. He's also an absolute loser. Frogs.
Jason Gardens: I'm so sorry for making him get the gardens name too. AUTISTIC as hell also aromantic and possibly aplatonic i'm projecting too hard probably. Jack, Red, Cinderella and Bread all count as his siblings and i would love to make content of these kids in the future
Charlotte and Cordelia: idk how exactly they fit into the au except Trina definitely did talk to them first thing when having her sexuality crisis. Charlotte probably has anxiety idk. And some level of non binary.
The witch/Luna: lesbian. But also arospec. And asexual possibly. And autistic now that i think about it. One look at the baker's father was what made her realize she's not attracted to men. She's mostly just done with everyone's bullshit. Her name is Luna i don't know why i decided that. This is my au so my rules. She somehow ends up dating Dot i have no clue how that happens.
Dot: local she/they. Token neurotypical. Some flavor of queer. Idk how she became part of the story. Louis the baker she dated is not the same baker as Baker Baker our local baker, they're actually rivals since they work in the same business.
George Seurat: JUST TO CLARIFY I'm talking about the musical version i wouldn't make headcanons for a real life person!! Autistic. He/she pronouns (don't ask just don't.) doggirl in the same way catgirls are catgirls. As I'm writing this I'm regretting all my life choices.

sims 4 trait legacy challenge
Overview:
This is a ten generation legacy challenge based on some characteristics people can possess. Each generation will be based upon a new trait. The style and gender of the generation is completely up to you (I usually play as women but gender does not matter in this challenge)! Complete all goals before focusing on the next generation. Some may play onto each other, so be sure to look ahead before moving forward! I created an adapted version for people who do not have the packs I used listed below the challenge. I wanted to make sure everyone could play and not feel left out!
Rules:
No cheats or mods!
Start off with $20,000 and a build a house wherever you want one.
Complete all six goals for every generation before moving onto the next one.
Complete the full aspiration and reach level 10 in the set career.
There is no rules when it comes to aging up but I suggest waiting until it is their set birthday.
Play on normal life span.
Packs Used: Base Game, Discovery University, Seasons, City Living, Get to Work, Cats and Dogs, Parenthood, Spa Day, and Knifty Knitting
Generation One: Responsibility
You are a very old fashioned person who believes things have a certain way of being done. Every object in your house has a set place, the person you marry you are supposed to stay with forever, and the world should be a clean place to live in. Never once have you strayed away from your beliefs and you’ve always lived your life by the book. Even once your partner dies and you are left with a child who cannot handle their passing, you stay true to your morals. (EDIT: I have been playing this challenge myself and found that the final level of the aspiration said “have a child master a career”. I do not know if you have to be in the household for that, but if you do, just add this generation to the household of the next one before they master it. It is also okay if you want to ignore/cheat this part.)
Traits: Neat, Good, Green Fiend
Aspiration: Successful Lineage
Career: Education (Administrator Branch)
Goals:
Max charisma skill.
Max research and debate skill.
Be married as a young adult, but have your partner die (do not tell your child how) once they reach adult hood. Never remarry.
Have only one child with your partner.
Complete the snowglobes collection and have them set up in a specific room in your house.
Make your neighborhood green and keep it that way.
Generation Two: Determined
You’ve always struggled to cope with the death of your father/mother ever. Maybe that's because you never really knew why they died in the first place. Left with too many questions to handle, you destroy your relationship with your friends and family and run away to find some answers. This entails a trip to Sixam, where you can finally wrap ahead around the passing of you mom/dad. You decide to come home just in time to see your mom/dad just before they too pass away. After a heart-breaking conversation, you realize that all the secrecy was for the best.
Traits: Gloomy, Ambitious, Loner
Aspiration: Nerd Brain
Career: Astronaut (Interstellar Smuggler Branch)
Goals:
Max rocket science skill.
Max mischief skill.
Build a rocket ship and fly to Sixam.
Run away and live on your own as a teenager. 
Have a horrible relationship with your mom/dad as a young adult, but become best friends with them before they pass away.
Complete the microscope prints collection.
Generation Three: Loving
Your mother/father was extremely distant growing up, which caused you to rely on friends as your family. Your childhood best friend has been with you every step of the way, and you ended up fell in love with them. All you wanted to do was be a mother/father, but found out you could never have children. You adopt a child as a baby and raise them as your own, teaching them everything you wish your parents did for you.
Traits: Romantic, Family - Oriented, Foodie
Aspiration: Soulmate
Career: Babysitter (Teenager), None (Young Adult and older)
Goals:
Max parenting skill.
Max wellness skill.
Marry your childhood best friend.
Adopt a baby after you get married.
Teach your toddler to max all skills.
Have a side passion of knitting.
Generation Four: Intelligence
You grew up incredibly smart with no knowledge of who your real parents were. However, that never mattered to you. Your adoptive parents have made it their life goal to advance your gifts in every way they know how. Late nights of helping you with homework, early mornings of finishing projects, and spending their fortunes to enroll you into the college of your dreams. All you wanted to do was repay them by becoming a world renowned journalist. You dedicate your best-sellers to them because, after all, they’ll always be your biggest fan.
Traits: Genius, Bookworm, Unflirty
Aspiration: Academic
Career: Writer (Journalist Branch)
Goals:
Max logic skill.
Max writing skill. 
Reach level eight in five other skills of your choice.
Go to the University of  Britechester and study Language and Literature (distinguished).
Join the Debate Guild and reach the highest rank.
Write five novels.
Generation Five: Hard - Working
Fashion has been your passion since you were a little girl/boy. You even asked your parents to stop dressing you as a toddler because the clothes they picked were “not stylish enough.” As a self-proclaimed style icon, you knew you had to make your biggest dream come true: to create your own fashion line. So, as soon as you graduated high school, you packed your bags and moved to the big city - San-Myshuno. There you created your social media platform and blew up! A normal life was never your style, and you made sure to put in as many hours as it would take to achieve all you ever wanted.
Traits: Perfectionist, Self - Assured, Materialistic
Aspiration: City Native
Career: Style Influencer (Stylist Branch)
Goals:
Max photography skill.
Max painting skill.
Must live in San-Myshuno.
Complete the crystals collection.
Hire a nanny for your child and do not spend much time with them.
Gain 10,000 followers on Simstagram.
Generation Six: Resilience
After being known as “the child of the most famous fashion designer” all your life, the city became a toxic place for you. You hated the loud noises, constant stream of people, and just wanted to live a quiet life. You loved visiting your grandmother/father’s house and hearing one of her/his famous stories. You decided to pull inspiration from one of their novels and live off by the coast in the adorable Brindleton Bay. Your passion for crafting and living off the land inspired you to start a small business selling your candles and juice - all locally grown of course. 
Traits: Loves Outdoors, Maker, Creative
Aspiration: Master Maker
Career: Freelancer (Simply Crafted)
Goals:
Max fabrication skill.
Reach level eight in both candle making and juice fizzing.
Move to Brindleton Bay as a young adult.
Have four or more kids.
Complete the frog collection.
Never go to an event in the city or visit the city once you are a young adult.
Generation Seven: Carefree
Being in a big family is can be hectic at times. So, you decided to be the happy jokester in the middle just trying to get people to crack a smile. And you got really good at it. As a major people person, you made sure to get to know everyone you meet. You even started a tradition of taking a picture with them so you could never forget that moment. Your friends will always invite you to go out because you are known for being the life of the party. However, the parties you host, are even better. You decide to live life as if it was one big stage, and you’re the star performer.
Traits: Goofball, Clumsy, Outgoing
Aspiration: Party Animal
Career: Entertainer (Comedian Branch)
Goals:
Max comedy skill.
Max singing skill.
Host a party every week.
Take a photo of every person who visits you.
Marry someone you met just two days before.
Attend every festival or event you are asked to attend.
Generation Eight: Kind
Expected to be just like your mother/father, no one ever assumed you would be the quiet kid who preferred reading over partied. However, that is exactly who you were. When it was that time of the week for a new social event, you either left for the library or locked yourself in your room, praying it ended soon. Your parents noticed you struggled talking to people, so they allowed you to adopt a puppy once you became a teenager. You and your dog instantly became best friends and you took them everywhere. Even though you may not be great with people, being compassionate was a skill you ranked high in. You always looked out for the less fortunate and wanted to provide in anyway you could.
Traits: Vegetarian, Loner, Good
Aspiration: Friend of the Animals
Career: Gardner (Floral Designer Branch)
Goals:
Max gardening skill.
Max flower arranging skill.
Keep up a garden of just flowers.
Adopt strays: one dog, and two cats.
Marry an ambitious sim.
Donate $100 to charity weekly.
Generation Nine: Impulsive
You grew up hearing stories of your grandmother/father’s so called “wild days” and fell in love with the energy it brought. However, your mom/dad raised you better than to go out spending life as if there was no consequences. Finding a balance started off to be very challenging for you. You could never hold down relationships and even got pregnant/got someone pregnant twice. It wasn't until you became a secret agent and learned how to live two lifestyles: one full of fun and adventure; the other more stable and structured.
Traits: Active, Non-Committal, Bro
Aspiration: Bodybuilder
Career: Secret Agent (Diamond Agent Branch)
Goals:
Max fitness skill.
Max handiness skill.
Go to either college for Psychology and play soccer.
Have four failed relationships and never get married.
Have two children from two different relationships.
Move three times once you become a young adult.
Generation 10: Passionate
Because your mother/father’s job required you to move around so much, making real life friends was a lot harder than it seemed. So, you built your relationships within the online community. Every day, you and your closest friends would hop online and compete in tournaments or even play for fun. As the years went on, you became really good at coding and even started working on your own apps. You looked up to the players from ESports Gaming - only the best gamers in the world - and longed to be sitting in one of their spots. And sure enough, after years of perfecting your strategies and game plays, your dreams came true!
Traits: Geek, Hot-Headed, Outgoing
Aspiration: Computer Whiz
Career: Tech Guru (ESport Gamer Branch)

Birthstone Legacy Challenge
Ok, I don’t post a lot on here, but I’m a huge fan of the sims. I’ve been playing it since gen 1 back in 2000. So, I’ve been having fun with challenges, especially the past couple years with 100 Baby, and I’ve found online. And after reading hearing and reading up on Lilsimsie’s Not So Berry Challenge, I had an idea of my own challenge. So, I thought I’d share if anyone else wanted to play along.
Disclaimer: These challenges mean nothing in regards to people born in that month. I simply took symbolism and cultural aspects of each stone to create a challenging and interesting playthroughs you might not think to do.
Lifespan requirements: Normal (not sure if it’s possible on Short, but if you want hard mode, do it).
The idea is to start with your month’s birthstone, then each generation is the next month’s stone for either 10 generations (traditional Legacy), or 12 if you wan to do the full year. You could also start on the month after your birth month with a full year play-through, so your birth month acts as a “finale”. Might be helpful if say your birth month is April, and you know your month’s stone is Diamond and to you it sounds like a finisher, or if your birth month is December, and you’d just prefer to start with January’s stone. It’s up to you.
These will just be listed month by month, so they are easy to find.
Like in the other color challenges, you want to model your sim with the stone’s colors in mind. You should also build their house with their stone’s color in mind.
1. January stone: GARNET
    Color: Dark Red
Garnets have a high refractive index, which causes them to look as if they are emitting light. Due to this phenomenon, travelers during the crusades would carry them to ward off evil. The stone represents Faith, Love and Constance.
Traits: Good, Ambitious, Cheerful
Goals:
 - Complete the Soulmate aspiration
- Complete the Law career as a judge.
- Must maintain career until death (meaning no retirement, quitting, or being fired).
- Must have at least 2 kids after the soulmate aspiration is fulfilled.
- All children must be raised with all green character values and no lower than Bs in school.
2. February stone: AMETHYST
    Color: Purple
The word Amethyst comes from the Greek word, amethystos, meaning “not drunken.” This comes from a myth where Dionysus was so enraged, he vowed his wrath on the next human he saw, which was a young woman, Amethystos. To “save” this woman, Artemis turned her to stone (note to self, don’t ask Artemis to save you ever, because her track record sucks). Dionysus calmed at seeing the stone’s beauty, and poured his wine on it, giving the stone it’s purple color. In more recent centuries, amethysts have been associated with piety and rank in the Catholic Church, as bishops are given amethysts when they are appointed.
Traits: Genius, Bookworm, Snob (If you have Snowy escape, replace one of these with Proper).
Goals:
-Complete the Knowledge - Renaissance Sim aspiration.
-Complete the Education Career as a Professor.
-Can not go to bars or nightclubs
-Max out Logic, Writing, and a musical skill (Violin, Guitar, Piano, or Singing)
-Can never marry or enter into an official dating relationship; HOWEVER must have at least 1 kid at some point to continue the legacy. This can be through adoption, which is more likely if you want to play pure piety or you have an Ace sim in mind, and the adoptee must be a child or teen. The other option is through secret woohoos if you want to play the more historically accurate, seedy way. **If you are playing with Risky Woohoos, you can have max 2 kids living with you. All others children must be removed from the house and into a Townie’s home once they become toddlers.
3. March stone: AQUAMARINE
    Color: Light Blue
Due to aquamarine’s sea-like color, they’ve long been associated with traveling and the sea. Sailors used to put them under their pillows to calm themselves. They are said to inspire peace and ward off poisons.
Traits: Loves Outdoors, Glutton, Loner
Goals:
-Complete Angling Ace aspiration.
-Eat out of the trash 5 times without getting sick.
-Have an aquarium with 10 fish.
-Catch a vampire squid. ** Or if you have Island Living, you must become a mermaid.
-Must eat and learn to make Pufferfish Nigiri.
4. April stone: DIAMOND
   Color: White/Silver
Diamond is the hardest stone on Earth, and is often associated with wealth and treasures. The word diamond comes from the greek word adamas, meaning unconquerable. They are the most popular of the stones, and so recently have been “Lab Grown.”
Traits: Ambitious, Insider, Perfectionist
Goals:
-Complete the Scientist career.
-Complete Leader of the Pack aspiration.
-Find all the crystals.
-Must clone a diamond.
-Become best friends with Judith Ward and have a framed selfie with her in your house.
-Date/marry someone in the Style-influencer career.

Sims 4 Post- Apocalyptic Decades Challenge by burnedparadisesims
The year is 2030. What happened to cause the Apocalypse is up to your imagination! The goal of this challenge is to restore New Crest back into a beautiful town. 
Rules:
(will update as I play my own save)
Gen 1 starts off with either a teen or young adult married couple (ethnicity/race doesn’t matter!) in a small utility shed with the Off The Grid lot trait on any lot in New Crest. You can use the tiny house pack for the extra perks. The household starts with zero simoleons. Your sims can scavenge for plants, frogs, etc. They can also fish, knit, candle make, garden, woodwork, paint or floral arrange. Cooking can be done on a grill or the fire pit from the Island Living pack.
You can start off with New Crest near empty or filled with broken-down abandoned lots; store, restaurant, bowling alley, spa...etc. The possibilities are endless! 
Auto-aging should be off. For the birthdays, sims will roll if they survive to their next life stage. I revamped the spreadsheet @morbidgamer​​​​ uses for her Decades Challenge on twitch. Her spreadsheet will have how long a sim year is, how many days each life stage is...etc. All credit to her, She started at the 1550s. Morbid got hers from the original challenge creator. 
Each heir if they survive the roll and age into a teen, will roll to see if they can move out and start a family and how many kids they can have. If the roll is good, they can move into an abandoned lot and gradually you can either restore the lot into what it was or make it a nice home for the future generations or both.
Each family last name will have a color. If the heir is male, the color stays the same. If the heir is female and she marries, her color changes.
You can only travel off the lot to scavenge and you can’t go anywhere that will require a loading screen. The time you’re allowed to travel is between families.
No interacting with townies. For the first generation, it’s only your heirs and their children. Through MCCC, remove all the townies or just delete if they go near your lot. Gen 2 it’s okay to have townies but try to not interact with them until Gen 3.
A toilet and sink can be in the shed but if they needed a bathtub, it has to be built via the woodworking table. If your sims want a dining table or chairs, that too needs to come from the woodworking table but if they have simoleons, you can build then trade it for another table and chairs. 
If you have the Laundry Pack, only use the wash bin and clothes line.
Anything else they want that can’t be built on the woodworking table and they have the simoleons, you can get from Build Buy but it has to be something that logically would make sense for them to have; like for a bed I had my couple start with a debug blowup mattress from Eco Lifestyle and when they had the simoleons I let them get a real bed that looked like it could have been made by them.  
No set style of clothes. I just chose steampunk for the fun of it but the point of this challenge is to have fun and get creative.
How the world gets created is up to you but some dates to follow:
2030: Year started 2040: If you have Eco Lifestyle, you can put a generator on the lot and slowly phase out using the Off The Grid lot trait 2060: School reopens 2060-2080: Heir for Gen 3 discovers herbology and studies to make medicine to sell and lower the young death percentage. 
My shed:

Mods recommended:

Timeless Mod (optional)
