Sims 2 lore that nobody really thinks about that I find interesting: Olive’s maiden name is Muenda, which translates from Swahili means to “go to” or “you go to” (and I’m getting this from google translate forgive me) her father’s name is Peponi Muenda, which according to google translates to “go to heaven/paradise”

Olive’s mother, Lerato Muenda, has a first name that according to google translate is a word in the Southern Sotho language for “love”, accompanied with her last name meaning “go to”, we can assume her name would translate to “go towards love” or something similar to that, but her first and last name are two different African languages.

What I find interesting about this isn��t even necessarily the names themselves, but the fact that the sims 2 team decided to make Olive Specter non-debatably African, with a Swahili maiden name and everything.

And all of this is really to bring up Nervous Subject.

The Grim Reaper is his father, however Grim isn’t human and therefore has no genes to pass down (ignoring game logic where he needs to have genes) which should essentially make Nervous a clone of Olive, which ig would also make him trans so do with that what you will.

But anyway, I never see anybody talk about the fact that Nervous and Olive are canonically African. The sims fandom feels very White and even if not white, erases the canon cultures of the characters without thinking (i.e “it’s my dollhouse game they can be whatever I want them to be!!!”) and even though I’m not African (I’m a black American) this feels like really interesting character lore that people ignore.

I saw someone on twitter imply that Olive Specter wasn’t black, because I guess her maiden name made them assume she was latina? (Which you can be both lol) but upon looking into it myself I noticed not only is she black, she’s AFRICAN. People see the maiden name Muenda and go “oh that looks like Spanish, she’s latino!” When in reality it’s Swahili! In the lore of Olive’s family, her parents are both African though likely from different areas seeing as her mom’s name implies she’s from South Africa.

But all of this makes it even more confusing why the sims team chose to keep Nervous white for like 20 years? You know he’s not white, even if the Grim Reaper had genes to pass down, Nervous would still be half black. So why did it take until Sims 4 Life & Death for them to actually make him black, when from the start they knew his mother was African? It’s honestly weird and annoying and do NOT let EA brainwash you into thinking it didn’t happen, they absolutely love whitewashing.

Nervous Subject the sims 2 is the greatest character of all time; don’t get me wrong I enjoy Nyon Specter the sims 4 and the happ(ier) future he represents for the character but no one will ever reach the aura of sims 2 Nervous. His face is a rectangle. His hobbies include twitching and blinking. His timeline makes no sense. He somehow managed to escape the mad scientist’s lab he was locked in to kiss a mystery sim. He shows up ominously at his boy bestie’s alien birth. He is gay coded in the sense that his code says he’s gay. He has an estranged punk cousin with an alien boyfriend. His name is literally Nervous Subject. And all this without even mentioning his parents and fucked up origin story!

Is everybody in?

The Gorillaz Demon Days cover has always been a favorite of mine, and the thought of recreating an album cover sounded like fun. Got my funky little trio on board, including Nyon, because these days, those guys can talk that poor boy into anything. Including dressing up for, uh, dunno, I think they just look cool. But the skull facepaint on Nyon was a deliberate choice.
