List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥

Thank you! Gonna bring back this vampire because I should probably tell more about Callias than just oh yeah he's a massive slut and we love him for it 💀

1. Callias and Caleb were both born in the same century, but Callias is about 16 years older and was turned earlier (but they were both roughly around the same age when it happened, early 20s-ish). They crossed paths and were together briefly for some time as vampires. It was a passionate romance, but it didn’t end well at all. I guess they were just too different. They never saw each other again after that. They might, I haven’t ruled it out yet, but at this point in the NSB universe, they just haven’t.

2. And here’s the tea that I’m not sure if I’ll really acknowledge within the NSB universe or how much I’ll acknowledge it but I love to imagine it happened: After the breakup and Ross leaving, he bumped into Callias and they hit it off. They never spoke of Caleb together, had no clue there was this “link” between them. Eventually, they broke up, no hard feelings, if we see each other again, we’ll be friends, thanks for the good time. It’s just that Callias doesn’t really like the idea of settling down with “the one” and Ross figured out answers to some of the questions he’d had since the breakup.

3. I often like to imagine this scene where all is well between Ross and Caleb again and then Callias comes around and Ross is like “alright Caleb meet my friend who I may have had a brief romantic and sexual relationship with when we weren’t together” and Caleb just goes even paler than he naturally is, realizing Ross is friends with his ex-girlfriend from way back who, sorry, wait a second, is actually now an ex-boyfriend, and wait you guys were together, what the hell has my undead life turned into – writing that scene would probably give me a lot of second hand embarrassment but also a lot of joy and giggling and kicking my feet in the air tbh 😂 Also, if I ever make that scene canon, no worries, there’s not gonna be any jealousy there, just a lot of what the fuck what are the odds kinda internal screaming from Caleb.

4. Oh yeah by the way, yes, just a reminder, Callias is trans. He spent a fair share of his life as a woman though, and actually, after figuring things out, he fell in love with the more feminine aspects of himself that he hated when he was a woman “officially”…which I really hope makes sense and if not, just look at his tag, you’ll probably get it then. He likes being feminine in his style but he’s not a woman.

5. He doesn’t currently have a goal in life. He hasn’t really had one for decades now. He just wants to live (well, he’s a vampire, he doesn’t really live, but you know what I mean), have fun and indulge in all the fantasies world has to offer.

Are you guys still here?

I really don't want to make a whole long essay where I explain every single step of my thought process and reasoning for this. Honestly I kinda just want to throw this at you, run away and never acknowledge it again, but...I guess you deserve at least some words from me. After all, I know they are/were the favourite couple for a lot of you who have been here for years.

This has actually been a long time coming, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of you picked up on this already. I played this about a year ago, I was going back and forth about breaking them up for a long time, and I think part of me just played with the thought because I’ve always had this weird insecurity regarding shipping a townie with my own sim and kind of wanted him gone (and now in my other, non-nsb stuff, we have Callias to help me deal with this insecurity 🤷‍♀️), but partially...insecurities aside, I can actually see it happening.

Even when they were at their best, I was writing them like that and I was obsessed with their love story, there were just some aspects of their relationship that I was concerned about, and I slowly started realizing that maybe someday, it wouldn't be unlikely that it comes to an end. Or at least to a pause. I don't know yet. To be fair, they don't know either.

What’s gonna happen next? No idea. (I mean, when you’re seeing this, I have an idea, I’m ahead of you in this legacy, but at the point of writing this, I have no clue.) Well, I would say, if you’re angry at me right now, don't lose hope, I'm not losing it either. We still have generations to go, and you know how much they like to steal the spotlight. And you know I will think about them and go back and rethink it and overthink it and stuff. Things will happen, whether for worse or for better, I can promise that.
