y’all remind yourselves your account is your space. you’re not a performance. you’re not annoying by being yourself. if people aren’t into it they can leave. you’re not obligated to please anyone, especially at the cost of your personal expression. the worst thing you can do for your online enjoyment is to filter or censor yourself.

It's insane how casually the calls to end a genocide, not just the students in Columbia University but pro Palestinian views in general, are labelled as terrorists. The audacity to still publicly support Israel's actions even after the horrific bombings these last months and then turn around to say that the ones who oppose it are violent anti semites is just baffling

Would you rather: start your current project from scratch or do a soft reboot focusing on a different character?

I’d probably start over from scratch.

Heck I’ve been tempted to go through and redo my old screenshots and update dialogue. Honestly, that might be my 4 year anniversary project because my story has barely moved timeline wise since my 3rd anniversary last year.

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.

Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

TRUTH: How do you think your story would be different had you not killed off Richard?

OH BOY

Well, before he died he was already going to be abdicating the throne in favor of Ana, so she would be Queen.

The main thing that I think would be different is the state of relationships and all that, because Richard was one very controlling individual (and he has an entire folder on my Google Drive titled: Richard Needs to Pay Child Support so...).

Elissa would probably still be married to him (societal pressure and whatnot on both of them), Sophie and Eric's relationship might be super strained because Richard was planning on marrying Sophie to Henry Gathen Jr., and poor Ben would probably still be stuck with Olivia.

Unfortunately, my original sims computer gave out on me shortly after Richard died and Ana became Queen, so I haven't really gotten a good chance to play around with it and see what would be different (other than Richard being a total dick to the people he supposedly loves).

Bringing back a classic mass ask: Truth or Dare? 😈

Hmm...

Truth!

Anastasia's Office, Nimben Palace

Transcript below the cut

Elissa looked across the desk at her oldest daughter, who was partially hidden behind her computer screen. “This has to do with Lucas, doesn’t it?” She asked.

“Yes.” Ana replied, glancing back at her computer screen, watching more emails fly into her inbox. 

“You’ll have a father.” Elissa began. “Kris and Cece will have a grandfather and-”

Ana cut her off. “That title is for Douxie and I to discuss.”

Elissa frowned. “But-”

Ana shook her head. “ No. I have, however, spoken to Parliament, because I’m unsure as to how this would work.”

“ You’re not going to stop me?”

Ana shook her head. Her and her siblings weren’t thrilled with the decision, but knew it wasn’t theirs to make in the end. “I- no. It’s your decision and I respect that. Anyway, when you marry Lucas, you will lose the title of ‘Her Majesty.’”

Elissa blinked at her daughter in confusion. “You’re joking.”

Ana bit her lip. “I’m not. When you marry him, you’ll stop being Her Majesty, Elissa, the Queen Dowager. The Prime Minister and I, alongside other members of Parliament, agreed that you’ll be ‘Her Royal Highness, Princess Elissa Munch, the Queen Dowager.’”

“You can’t be serious.”

“I’m just telling you what Parliament told me.” 

Elissa’s frown deepened. “Well, go back and tell Parliament that they’re wrong and don’t know what they’re talking about. There’s no precedent for them to base it off of.” 

Ana almost touched her necklace before she realized that it wasn’t there as she said, “Crown Princess Louise.” 

Elissa rolled her eyes. “She was Crown Princess. I was the Queen. There’s a distinct difference between the two.” 

Ana nodded in agreement. “Yes, there is. But Parliament chose to follow the precedent established for Crown Princess Louise.” 

“Then make them change their minds.” 

Ana scoffed. “Have you tried to change Peter Gathen’s mind about anything?” 

“He’s your ex.”

She rolled her eyes. “Yeah, and he was and is a piece of shit. There’s a reason he’s my ex.” 

Elissa glared at her. “Anastasia.”

Ana sighed and rolled her eyes again. “What? I’m almost 30 years old, married with two young children, I  think I’m allowed to curse. If you want to argue your case to them, you are more than welcome to, but I’ve done literally all I’m legally allowed to do in this case.”

It's 3am and I am in my room giggling and laughing like a fool while reading and writing sappy fanfiction that's not supposed to make you laugh, but here I am

[royalhouseofcarrington]

Do I have screenshots for a BTS scene ready that I still need to add dialogue to? Yes.

Am I doing that right now? No.

Should I be? Probably yes.

What am I doing instead? Googling pictures of random brooches and coming up with names and stories for them so that there's an explanation for them if I ever get around to figuring out how to make things in Blender.

Me writing biographies for my characters who are already dead: easy, simple, just jot it down

Me when writing biographies for my characters who are alive/recently died: Wikipedia style or bust

[royalhouseofcarrington]

Their name was Nex Benedict.

Nex Benedict, not whatever name the news keeps saying.

They're nonbinary, not whatever the news keeps saying.

They were the victim of a hate crime, their death was because of a hate crime. Their death was not an accident, it was a hate crime.

This Month's Updates from the Carrington Genealogy Department (aka me working on the FamilyEcho tree again)

Katherine I am so so so sorry for what I'm doing to you in the future

You too Alice, I am so sorry (also Alice's future husband)

Richard is a continuing dickhead (who's surprised)

As of 5:33pm EST on 02/15/2024, the count is at 3778 people

A good fucking chunk of them are Richard's

Charles is also an ass but who's surprised, he looks like Richard

King Edward III (who died in 1927, it's 2041 in my game for reference) has granddaughters who are still alive (the oldest living one is 119)

🧡❤️🍭🏹 for any couples you want!

I couldn't pick, so I let the wheel pick and it picked Nico and Will so I'm doing them

🧡: Who said 'I love you' first?

Nico 100%. Will thought it first, but Nico was the first one to say it out loud, but he didn't realize he said it to Will until Chandler started teasing him about it.

❤️: Who is the more romantic one? Do they wish their partner was more romantic?

They're both very romantic. They both work pretty stressful jobs (because they're not working for the Royal Family, Will's a literature teacher and Nico's a social worker), but when they have the opportunity to, they are romantic.

🍭: What's something they can never agree on (big or small)?

As of right now, when abouts they want to start their family. They both have different timeframes in mind (Will wants to start sooner, Nico wants to start later), so that's the current disagreement.

🏹: Which one is more likely to think Valentine's Day is lame?

Nico's not HUGE on celebrating Valentine's day because he grew up with Isabel as his mom and he watched her pine over his father after they divorced and Dante got remarried and it made him (Nico) feel very uncomfortable. He also thinks that it's kinda stupid that it's one day dedicated to showing your SO love when you should be showing them love everyday.
