simply lilac outtakes: dodo & minta

previous - backdated to round two eliminations

DODO: How did it go?

ARAMINTA: As these things do, I suppose. I doubt that anyone leaving was surprised.

DODO: Did you want to talk?

ARAMINTA: I do. But I don’t know how to word what I’d like to say.

DODO: You could try? And if I don’t understand something, I’ll ask?

ARAMINTA: It’s the show. It’s making me feel bad about myself.

ARAMINTA: I should be so happy. And when I’m not dwelling on things too much, I am. But then I think of all the different contestants, about half a dozen of who seem like they would be so well suited to Lilac, and then everyone else who you could have been happy with instead of me. And I wonder, did you choose wrongly? For yourself, I mean.

DODO: Well, I don’t wonder that.

ARAMINTA: But I do.

DODO: I wish that you wouldn’t.

ARAMINTA: So do I. But I don’t know how to stop.

DODO: But you’re the one who’s out of my league.

ARAMINTA: What?

DODO: What do you mean, ‘what’?

ARAMINTA: I just can’t understand how you could ever think that way.

DODO: Well that makes two of us. I’ve been overshadowed by my brother my whole life. And look at how messed up I’ve been since we got back.

ARAMINTA: Only due to trauma, and you never got a break from it the way we did with the rotations. And Leo’s not one tenth of the person that you are. Sorry, I know that he has his qualities. But he’s so attention-seeking and insecure that he has to try and insert himself into everything - even on your show! 

DODO: [chuckle] He does do that, yeah.

ARAMINTA: You’re confident and generous and selfless enough to share the spotlight with others. Look at how you play football. You know when to take a shot at goal - and when to pass the ball and set up a teammate who’s in a better position. Leo couldn’t spell ‘team’ without a ‘me.’

DODO: ‘Couldn’t spell ‘team’ without a ‘me?’ I’m so saving that for another day.

DODO: Okay, so I understand how you could feel considering - well, just look at my past BCs. And I know how things were with your father. Just because for some plumbed up reason he was incapable of loving you, it doesn’t mean that no one else is.

ARAMINTA: I know.

DODO: But knowing something isn’t the same as believing it, I guess?

ARAMINTA: No. It’s not.

DODO: I know that my mother loves me. And we have a good relationship. But Leo always had her attention growing up. And that was bad enough. I can’t imagine how much things with your father messed with your head. Do you realise how in light of that, it was so brave for you to even apply for the show? To put yourself out there and still have hope that things might work out?

ARAMINTA: I - admittedly - never had much hope. Mostly I wanted to break out of my comfort zone, perhaps learn something about myself, and to make some new friends.

DODO: And you did all those things, and more. And I definitely could have been more discreet.

ARAMINTA: We didn’t have a lot of privacy. And you were just doing your job.

DODO: No, I definitely could have.

ARAMINTA: You had all the decision making power. Well, Leo had all the decision making power. But it’s only through Lilac that I’m beginning to understand just how much stress and pressure that can bring, knowing that the decisions you make could directly impact the happiness of others, or that you would make the wrong choice.

DODO: Yeah, that wasn’t fun. But I was only worried that I would hurt other people. I never worried about choosing you - don’t you see? 

ARAMINTA: I am trying.

DODO: It wasn’t about passion and romance - well, not exclusively. It was about friendship and trust, and who I could see myself with beyond the initial spark. Because that can wax and wane, you know? [dryly] Or so I’ve been told.

ARAMINTA: [weak chuckle] So far I’ve yet to perceive that from you, yes.

DODO: It was about someone who saw and accepted my flaws, and who doesn’t judge me for them but who also doesn’t let me get away with them either - and who will give me the support and space to grow. Someone who’s always striving to be the best version of herself, so that I’m encouraged to do the same too. Someone who I can see the best version of myself in.

DODO: I guess I’ve always wanted to fall in love with my best friend. And now I’ve made a best friend, and she’s also the love of my life.

ARAMINTA: I - thank you. I needed to hear that.

DODO: Anytime.

ARAMINTA: I was wondering if - it’s not that you’re unaffectionate towards me. Lilac’s always joking about just how affectionate you are. But I don’t think there’s such a thing as being told too often for me.

DODO: Oh, challenge accepted. [...] You know, this gorgeous blonde once told me that I gave great hugs.

ARAMINTA: Oh, did she now?

ARAMINTA: I saw that these days, the ‘WowWow Hut’ is functioning as a vacation rental. And what I’m about to suggest may sound strange, but I was wondering if we could go back? Perhaps it may help to make it feel more like it’s ours.

DODO: Or we could make some new Sulani memories while we’re there.

ARAMINTA: I would like that. [...] Could I sit on your knee?

DODO: There’s always space on my knee for you.

ARAMINTA: I think that I should go and see the onset counselor.

DODO: I think that’s a great idea.

ARAMINTA: If I like them, would you want to make an appointment too?

DODO: Yeah, I would.

DODO: Hey, did you know that Watcher Ana once gave me the UNFLIRTY trait?

as soon as i saw this hair i knew i had to put it on araminta 🎀

[tiny-librarian]

It seems like Araminta is hedging her bets at the ball and having one daughter in a more Queen Charlotte preferred Georgian look and one in a more fashionable Regency one, which is honestlypretty smart of her to do.

But I noticed a replica of a VERY famous necklace indeed on Rosamund:

It's very obviously a replica of the infamous necklace from the "Affair of the Diamond Necklace" that happened in France in the mid 1780s, just before the outbreak of the revolution!

MERRY CHRISTMAS BRIDGERTON!

and this is the finale of mad about dodo! MAD started on the 10th of june and i think we have come a long way! i hope all of you enjoyed the BC, i sure did! the first round was a blast for me in terms of gameplay - i love the chaos, i admit it! 😆 and i grew too much attached to all the contestants and at this point i wish i could marry them with all my single harpers so they would all appear in the family tree <33

@demonicrosebush lucy was a true player. she was graceful since day one and no deserted island will take that off of her. her late night jokes by the fire will be remembered by all contestants too <33 lucy did develop some romance with both martha and daisy flores so... who knows!!

@panicsimss tempest, another pixel that owns my heart! i absolutely adore her and her paranoid trait. who also love her are alejandro and anselme, these three are besties for life!

@jonquilyst quiet and kind lucian was probably the contestant with more friendships! he was dear to everyone, and particularly to me 🤍 oh and maybe hazel too, with whom he developed some kind of romance *wink wink*

@changingplumbob shay was a favourite of mine since day one. she's fun, she's bold, she's awesome! and both lucian and eleina agree with me!!

@mdshh daisy... i love to look at her, hope you don't mind me saying. this girl was never afraid to get her hands dirty, she played hard but fair! i actually like that of all contestants, it was with lucy that she developed a stronger friendship :)

@tipsy-clouds my dear sierra! i have a bittersweet feeling about her second place because she really had a great chemistry with dodo. also interesting to note is that araminta and sierra did develop a beautiful friendship so i hope this softens any broken hearts 🤍

@ethicaltreatmentofcowplants araminta, the first sim to be submitted to this contest and the last to stand <33 araminta went through this challenge with elegance. she won dodo's heart with grace and... a very bold first impression outfit, am i right? 😏🤍

to you and to the other contestants' watchers, my deep gratitude for sending and trusting me your sims, for following their silly adventures, for engaging daily with my posts, you have no idea how that kept me motivated! thank you for being part of this and be sure that all contestants will forever be part of my harpers lives. you were all amazing!
